Taotao happily agreed and asked with interest.
Qiao Xuan, naturally, didn’t hold back any information. After consulting the space’s system, she understood the characteristics of strawberries and explained them to Taotao in detail.
Taotao had grown more mature and serious compared to before, as she was now 16 years old.
At the age of 16, it was time for her to think about finding a partner.
However, the better the family’s circumstances became, the more challenging it was to discuss family matters. It was a difficult topic. It was hard to predict which family would prove advantageous in the future.
After Qiao Xuan’s explanation, Taotao requested assistance and left with the flower pot. These seeds were precious, and she had to take good care of them for Fifth Sister-in-law’s sake.
As per Fifth Sister-in-law’s description, the strawberries were red, plump, soft, juicy, and sweet. They had a delightful hint of sourness amidst the sweetness. They were truly delicious!
In the blink of an eye, it was time for the Xie Family’s visit. Ms. Fang felt extremely nervous and believed that none of the clothes she liked were suitable.
In the end, Qiao Xuan selected an indigo grape-patterned dress for her, along with a neat bun and a silver hairpin. The finishing touch was an elegant longevity hairpin, exuding a sense of tidiness, dignity, and elegance.
Ms. Fang breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, saying, “Ms. Qiao, you are so much more refined than us country bumpkins!”
Everyone burst into laughter.
In the morning, Taotao had been asked by Qiao Xuan to help with her attire. She tied her hair into a bun, which suited a girl like her, making her appear lovely and intelligent.
Her bun was adorned with a freshly bloomed pink rose. A jade hairpin embedded with pearls and rubies held it in place. Her eyebrows were delicately groomed, and she had a light layer of makeup that accentuated her youthful complexion, making her even more radiant and beautiful.
Taotao wore a light pink cherry blossom embroidered dress, complemented by an ivory-white pleated dress. She stood tall, resembling a delicate flower in full bloom.
When Taotao arrived at Ms. Fang’s house with Qiao Xuan, Ms. Fang and Yang Xiaoni were taken aback and couldn’t stop praising her.
Taotao blushed and shyly lowered her head. However, a faint smile appeared at the corners of her lips, indicating her obvious happiness.
After all, who wouldn’t enjoy dressing up beautifully at her age?
Once everything was prepared, Chunyu, Chunyu, and Xiaoman departed for the Xie Family’s residence in a carriage.
With them gone, Ms. Xu and Yang Xiaoni found themselves with some free time. They persuaded Eldest Uncle to accompany them for a shopping trip.
Shao Yunduan had been invited as a guest at the local college, so he had already left.
Today, First Madame Xie was hosting Ms. Fang the mother-in-law and her daughter-in-law. As she was unfamiliar with the customs of Ms. Fang’s hometown, she didn’t invite many guests, except for five close relatives and friends, along with their daughters.
The Xie Family was truly an aristocratic household, and their mansion was grand and well-maintained. The spacious halls and well-behaved servants made one feel a sense of apprehension, almost afraid to make any noise.
If it weren’t for Qiao Xuan’s presence and Ms. Fang’s previous experience at the Yuezheng Family, she would have been so nervous that she wouldn’t know what to do.
