Chapter 333 - 333: Scorching Hot
Ding Wan was thrilled at that moment, her eyes burning as she looked at Su Binglan. She genuinely wanted to learn the double-sided embroidery technique and embroider a screen. She believed it would look good.
Although she wanted to learn immediately, she looked at the darkening sky and saw that Su Binglan was busy making desserts. She did not want to tire Su Binglan out.
Ding Wan could only suppress her excitement and say, “Binglan, I’m always free. If you need anything, just call me, okay?”
Ding Wan meant that she could come and embroider whenever, and they should base everything on Su Binglan’s timing. Of course, Su Binglan understood what Ding Wan meant and could see the eagerness in her eyes. She could feel Ding Wan’s enthusiasm.
Miss Ding was enthusiastic about life and no longer had the decadent and depressed look from before. Seeing Ding Wan like this made Su Binglan happy.
She nodded. “Yes, Aunt Ding. I’ll think about it for a few days, and then I’ll come to find you.”
Ding Wan was delighted and held Su Binglan’s hand. “Then I’ll wait for you at home. You don’t have to worry about anything. I’m in good health now. I’ll get bored if I sit at home and do nothing.”
She was afraid that Su Binglan was overthinking and worrying too much.
“I understand, Aunt Ding,” Su Binglan said.
As Ding Wan was about to leave, she suddenly thought of something and said,
“By the way, if you need any help from your Uncle Fengzhang and Cousin Wenxian, just let us know. In case they have nothing to do at home.”
Su Binglan finally remembered something. The tofu factory and embroidery shop would only hire the women in the village, but the men had nothing to do. Some men joined Su Zhengde’s team and got hired to make bricks, while Su Fengzhi hired other men to make charcoal.
Many men were jobless, and it had skipped Su Binglan’s mind. Still, she had many ideas she could implement, including building a factory. However, many things could not be achieved overnight and needed to progress slowly.
She wanted an idea for another factory. She intended to ask her uncle to help her run it. Then she could also hire men from the village to do these things.
Su Binglan frowned and thought about it while Ding Wan looked at her with anticipation. Ding Wan knew her niece was capable and could help many people with just one idea.
Although Ding Wan was anxious, she waited quietly for Su Binglan to think. She feared interrupting her thoughts.
After a while, Su Binglan said, “Aunt Ding, I have many ideas, but I need to think about what to do first. We’ll need Uncle Fengzhang and Cousin Wenxian’s help. Don’t worry. We’ll mostly hire our family’s people.”
Su Binglan prioritized her family members to help manage her factories and shops so that she could do other things without worry. Plus, she trusted Su Fengzhang, Ding Wan, and Su Wenxian.
After all, she understood their characteristics and style, so she felt more at ease.
Ding Wan heard Su Binglan’s words and knew the young lady had many ideas.
‘This way, my husband and son won’t have to worry about not having jobs, and they wouldn’t have to be concerned about not being able to help Binglan.’
Ding wan felt relieved.
“Look at you, Binglan. If you need anything, please tell me. We are family, after all.”
Su Binglan smiled. “Yes, I know. Also, thank you for the clothes, Aunt Ding.”
Ding Wan was thrilled to see that Su Binglan Liked the clothes she had made. “If you like it, I’ll buy you more cloth in the future.”
Su Binglan giggled. “These will be enough, Aunt Ding. When I get busy, I won’t have time to make clothes for myself.”
“No matter how busy I am, I’ll make you more clothes,” Ding Wan said readily. Even if she was busy, she felt she could find time to make clothes for Su Binglan.
‘My niece is so pretty, so she should always wear pretty clothes.’
Su Binglan shook her head. “I don’t want you to tire yourself out, and you’ve already promised me. I’ll tell you if I need more clothes in the future, Aunt Ding. You must rest and mustn’t strain your eyes.
“I won’t be worth it if you’re too tired. I still need you to help me manage the embroidery shop, after all,” Su Binglan said as she blinked, looking pitiful.
Ding Wan laughed when she saw her niece like that. “All right, don’t worry. I’ll listen to you.”
After sending Ding Wan off, Su Binglan looked at the embroidery on the clothes and sighed. “I didn’t expect Aunt Ding’s embroidery skills to be so good. Looking at it, I can tell how beautiful this dress is.”
Luo Jin’an looked at his wife’s expression and said softly, “If you like it, try it on.”
Su Binglan raised her head and met her husband’s gaze. She only felt his eyes were as gentle as water, making her feel warm inside. “Okay, I’ll go wash my hands and change.”
She paid little attention to what she wore after reincarnating into this world. She dressed very simply. However, even the plainest clothes would not hide her beauty. On the contrary, simple clothes made her look even more beautiful.
Still, the clothes Ding Wan had made for her looked luxurious and lovely. The colors were bright, and it was evident that it was something a petite girl should wear.
After Su Binglan changed her clothes, she walked out. “What do you think? Do you think it’s nice?
There were no good mirrors in that era but small bronze ones that did not reflect very clearly. One could only see their faces. Most people typically looked at themselves by looking into a water -filled basin.
Su Binglan had not looked at herself in the bronze mirror for a long time, so she had forgotten what she looked like. She stood before Luo Jin’an and turned slightly. The hem of her clothes fluttered as she turned.
Su Binglan did not hear Luo Jin’an speak, so she asked again, “So? How is it?”
She stopped and looked up at Luo Jin’an expectantly as she asked. She had a sweet smile, and her eyes were sparkling with light.
Luo Jin’an sat quietly, his posture elegant. However, his gaze was as warm as the spring breeze when he looked at his wife. He just stared at Su Binglan like that. His eyes seemed filled with lightning, locking onto Su Binglan’s eyes and burning her.
Su Binglan felt his gaze lock onto her, and her body started to burn. She had never seen Luo Jin’an look like this before. She pursed her lips and asked again, “Why aren’t you saying anything? Don’t I look good? Should I change?”
At that moment, Luo Jin’an pulled Su Binglan over and held her in his arms. “It’s stunning,” he whispered, “B-But…” Luo Jin’an paused. Su Binglan’s heart raced when she heard Luo Jin’an say that..
