Although the weather was still cold in Heian Kyoto in late February, people walking on the streets were still wearing thick winter clothes.

But compared to the Chinese New Year, the temperature has risen a lot. The sun is shining brightly during the day, making people feel warm and comfortable.

The central axis of Ping'an Street runs through the inside and outside of the imperial city.

The streets outside the south gate are flat and wide, with countless alleys and lanes.

On both sides of the street there are artisan workshops, cloth shops, grain markets, silver shops, meat markets, inns, warehouses and other shops, creating a bustling scene with horses and carriages blocking the streets.

Two low-key and simple carriages passed through the bustling streets and slowly entered the south gate. Leading the way was a man in gorgeous clothes riding a horse. Outside the carriages were many servants and guards who were also riding horses.

The shadows of boxes and bundles could be vaguely seen on the carriage at the back.

It was obvious that this team came from afar.

Someone who was well-informed came out of a bookstore, tiptoed and looked around, and said to his classmate beside him: "The man riding the big horse in front looks like the second young master of the Taifu Mansion?"

The classmate replied to this person: "The eldest granddaughter of the Sun family is getting married in the next few days. This must be the person from the second branch of the Sun family who has returned."

After hearing what his classmate said, the man snorted and laughed.

"I almost forgot that the famous Takamine beauty in Heian Kyoto is getting married, and she's marrying an unknown person like that."

After hearing this, his classmate frowned and pulled him back into the bookstore.

"How can you say such things? The Gu family is not an unknown family. Brother Feng, be careful of your words. Besides, who the eldest daughter of the Sun family marries has nothing to do with you and me."

“Humph! That idiot Gu Jinghan is just relying on having a good stepbrother… mmmmm…”

Before he could finish his words, his classmate covered his mouth and said, "What are you crazy about!"

"Uuuuuuu..."

……

The Ruyi Courtyard where the old lady Da Fan lived.

Sun Xiuying held a cup of hot tea in her hand and breathed out, looking at the small box on the kang table.

The box was open, revealing a thick stack of papers.

"Grandma, you have a lot of banknotes. Are they all for my elder sister? My elder sister will be a money bag in the future!"

Da Fan was sitting on the kang at the other end with a fur blanket on her legs.

Hearing the little granddaughter's innocent words, she doted on her granddaughter and said, "If your elder sister heard you talking bad about her like that, she would definitely punish you."

The eldest granddaughter Xiuduan is different from the heartless little granddaughter in front of her.

She was the eldest granddaughter of the Sun family.

Not to mention the Dafan family, Sun Xiuduan could still say a few words in front of her grandfather Sun Li.

Although she had no upbringing, she had always been a steady and self-controlled person. In the circle of noble ladies in Kyoto, she was well-known for her kindness and gentleness.

Sun Xiuying is more lively. With her elder sister as an example, her family does not restrict her personality. She has become so lively and outgoing now, which often makes Mrs. Fan very happy and distressed.

She leaned on the old lady's knees and whispered, "Grandma, after my elder sister marries into the Gu family, can I still go and play with her?"

Mrs. Fan sighed, "You can't be as casual as you are at home. Your elder sister will be married into the Gu family and will be a wife of the Gu family in the future. It seems that she will have to take charge of household affairs. Compared with now, she will have even less free time."

Speaking of this, the old lady also stopped smiling.

Sun Xiuying pursed her lips, complaining inwardly that the Gu family set the wedding date too early, not even giving them half a year to prepare.

Fortunately, her mother, Madam Sun, started saving dowries for the two sisters when they were very young, so she doesn't have to worry too much now.
