As the weather grew warmer, people were more willing to venture out, and the capital became even busier, with teahouses and restaurants never lacking customers and shops bustling with activity.
Zhulan, with her daughter, alighted from the carriage, and Rongchuan disembarked from the one behind them. Zhulan pointed at the pastry shop opposite them, "Go buy some pastries; we'll be out once we've picked our fabrics."
Seeing that the fabric store was filled with ladies, Rongchuan agreed, "Aunt, I'll buy the pastries and wait for you in the teahouse diagonally across."
Zhulan, noting the crowd inside the fabric store and predicting a lengthy visit, replied, "Alright."
Xue Han stepped into the store, looking around, "Mother, they have fabrics here we can't find in Jinzhou Province."
