Chapter 271: Trying Summer Clothes

A group of children fussed around for most of the day; in the end Sui Sui was so tired she didn't want to move, the older brothers were also exhausted, so they prepared to tidy up, wash up and go to sleep.

Tomorrow Feng Xuanze and the others will rest for a day; by tomorrow night, or early the day after, they will have to pack up and return to the Shu Yuan.

Although Sui Sui likes the big brother, she is now tired from playing, wants to go to sleep, and the big brother is also very weary, having pushed her from behind all afternoon.

So when Mother Consort came over to ask if she wanted to sleep, Sui Sui obediently waved to the big brother and said, "Big brother, good night."

Feng Xuanze smiled and said good night to Sui Sui.

Feng Xuanrui squeezed over: "Good night, good night, little sister, good night!"

Feng Xuanbin, seeing this, didn't want to fall behind, immediately gathered around: "Yeah, little sister, good night."

…

The group of children chattered away for another half day.

After parting from the older brothers, Sui Sui took another soak in a medicinal bath, then packed up and went to sleep.

Today's consumption had already exceeded the limit, though Sui Sui really wanted to hear a story.

But in the end, she still didn't stay up; coaxed by Mother Consort, she soon fell into a deep, fragrant sleep.

The next day was also the first day of May.

The weather was fine; the sun was already warm and gentle early in the morning.

Sui Sui got up early, tidied up, changed into fresh clothes, and cheerfully ran out: "I'm going to find big brother!"

The young masters at the Residence were also packing up and heading this way.

When Sui Sui arrived at the dining hall, the brothers had already arrived.

Hearing Sui Sui's footsteps, Feng XuanYu turned around happily and shouted loudly: "Little sister, second brother is here!"

That voice was earth‑shaking.

The other younger brothers, who were still a bit drowsy, were instantly perked up by his shout.

Today Master Shen also gave them a day off, so everyone could enjoy the day to the fullest.

As for tomorrow…

It still depends on how Prince Qi arranges things.

However, for today there's no need to consider that issue.

The family gathered together and ate a comfortable, pleasant morning meal.

After the meal, people from JinXiuFang came over to deliver the clothes.

Prince Qi and Princess Consort happily took Sui Sui back to try on the garments.

When the brothers heard, each of them followed behind,

They didn't want to watch their sister change, but they could still see the final result, right?

The brothers could no longer hold back their anticipation.

Feng Xuanbin even thought that, because he was young, he could squeeze into the room.

He promised not to peek; he would cover his eyes.

Feng Xuanbin felt that, although he was young, he still understood this rule.

But unfortunately, Feng Xuanrui grabbed his clothes and pulled him back, so there was no chance to squeeze in again.

Today JinXiuFang delivered summer clothes, four sets in total, along with shoes, socks and the like.

Summer garments are mostly bright yet light in color.

Especially children's clothes, they are often pink, pale yellow, light blue, or tender green.

Lotus‑pink or moon‑white are also quite elegant, depending on how JinXiuFang matches them.

Of course, JinXiuFang can be rather bold in garment making, occasionally using color‑blocking.

For children's clothes, color‑blocking looks even brighter and more lively.

Sui Sui's outfit today is based on Yue Bai and pale yellow, revolving around those two colors.

Prince Qi looked at Sui Sui's clothes, nodding at times and shaking his head at others.

Princess Consort of Qi, watching nearby, couldn't help but ask softly, "Is this not pretty?"

Princess Consort of Qi thought it was quite pretty.

Why is she still shaking her head?

Prince Qi didn't think it was ugly; in his view, his obedient child looks good even wrapped in a burlap sack.

At this moment, Princess Consort asked, and Prince Qi chose to speak frankly: "I think it's not luxurious enough, this fabric…"

JinXiuFang's fabric is indeed luxurious, but it still falls short of the royal material.

Princess Consort of Qi responded helplessly: "The later‑delivered fabric hasn't arrived yet; let's wait a bit longer."

At first there weren't many suitable fabrics, so they used ready‑made cloth from the local workshop.

Later, Princess Consort of Qi also intended to reserve some vivid colors and gradually sent them to JinXiuFang.

However, making the garments isn't that quick; they still need to wait.

Prince Qi, after hearing that, was not very satisfied.

Sui Sui didn't know Father King's thoughts.

She only felt the fabric was so pleasant to the touch, and when spun, it glittered—so beautiful!

Sui Sui happily spun around in circles.

Feng Xuanrui and Feng Xuanbin circled around her, while Feng Xuanbo, thin and weak, didn't manage to squeeze in.

That made him angry; he crossed his arms at his waist and stood there sulking.

When Feng XuanYu saw his younger brother angry, he laughed heartily, then shouted loudly: "Xiao Wu, come, brother will hold you."

Feng XuanYu said, "If I'm going to hold, I'll hold."

Feng Xuanbo's small build is nothing to Feng Xuan Yu—light and easy, the kind where one hand can casually lift two or three of him.

Although Feng Xuanbo had been prepared, when he was lifted up he still felt a little nervous.

Sui Sui heard the commotion, turned around to look, and saw that Xiao Wu had been lifted up by the second brother.

This scene is a bit scary for kids!

Sui Sui's eyes widened, and she whispered in alarm: "Ah… won't Xiao Wu be dropped?"

Feng Xuan Yu heard that and laughed: "Don't worry, it won't happen; Second Brother's hand is steady!"

To be honest, Xiao Wu doesn't even weigh as much as his bow.

So, lifting him is completely no problem!

Feng Xuanze wasn't reassured; he kept an eye on Sui Sui while also staying nearby to guard against Feng Xuan Yu accidentally forgetting he was still holding someone and tossing them away again.

After all, this sort of thing…

Feng Xuan Yu has done this kind of thing before more than once.

Seeing the eldest brother standing guard beside him, Feng Xuan Yu also recalled his own past black history, which made him embarrassedly chuckle.

Sui Sui saw that Xiao Wu was stable for the moment, and relieved, turned away.

Soon, she went to change into a peach‑red outfit.

It is a gradient-colored outfit: a Yue Bai short jacket embroidered with peach blossoms, paired with a peach‑red skirt embroidered with magnolia flowers; when she turns, the magnolias on the skirt seem to bloom instantly, giving a strong visual impact.

Feng Xuanrui liked it at first sight, immediately clapping and saying, "Little sister looks beautiful, little sister looks the best!"

Prince Qi also thought the color was nice, the embroidery was good, the fabric was fine, and he kept nodding: "This is good, this looks nice, turn obediently, it looks even better when you do."

Princess Consort of Qi also liked it.

If the master is pleased, they will also give a reward.

So, the people from JinXiuFang, when they left, not only received another batch of orders, but also took the reward money.

Sui Sui tried on clothes all morning, and in the end she wore that new Yue Bai‑peach‑red outfit.

Coincidentally, today is hot, so wearing this won't make her cold.

After changing clothes, the sky was still early; Prince Qi waved his hand and decided to take the children to Zhuangzi: "Come on, let's go slaughter some sheep!"

Second watch.
