The time rewinds to New Year's Day. Wen Wan had promised to visit the Lu Family. Early in the morning, after returning from the palace with Song Wei to pay respects, she began preparing.
The carriage stopped outside the hanging flower gate, and the servants had already placed the New Year's gifts on a cart, following behind the carriage.
Wen Wan changed into a light peach pink jacquard silk jacket with scattered florals, and a hundred-pomegranate skirt woven with gold flowers underneath. Draped over her shoulders was a red and two-tone cloud dragon sable cloak. Her hair was styled in a simple spiral bun, adorned with gold inlaid begonia pearl hairpins.
At the Lu Family, she would be meeting elders. Wen Wan's makeup was appropriately light, her almond eyes gentle and her skin delicate like cream, with rosy cheeks. Compared to when she wore the noblewoman's formal dress, she appeared less severe and more like a delicate young lady.
