Lin Yuan’s face showed an awkward expression as she looked down at the flowing ribbons and wide sleeves, her mouth twitching.

Such a ladylike dress really shouldn’t be worn by the valiant Lin Yuan. A few people quickly and skillfully helped her out of it and changed her into a plain white dress with a hint of pink petals, complete with a small train trailing behind.

Wearing this dress, Lin Yuan’s complexion was also brightened quite a bit, and it matched her cool temperament very well.

As everyone nodded and praised her, Lin Yuan herself was not pleased. In her own words, "This dress is too clean, so clean that I don’t even know how to do work anymore."

Upon hearing the eldest sister’s words, the sisters almost wished they could pry open her head to see if it was stuffed with paste. The family had servants now, and when the tavern was opened, there would also be servants and shopkeepers. Surely she wouldn’t need to cook herself anymore?

Even so, Lin Yuan still disliked wearing such clean clothes. Indeed, she was going to open a tavern, but the chefs there were not just anyone who could take on the role; she would have to personally teach them, hands-on.

Seeing that Lin Yuan did not like the dress, her sisters could not insist, so they let it go in favour of choosing another dress.

Lin Wei and the others had chosen dresses that didn’t meet her liking twice.

This time, Lin Yuan wouldn’t let them act and instead went to the pile of clothes to select one herself, going back and forth four or five times before finally picking a water-green diagonal-front overcoat with narrow sleeves, which would not affect her whether she was doing the accounting or cooking.

And indeed, the water green color really suited Lin Yuan’s complexion, and because the overcoat cinched at the waist, it showcased her delicate waist perfectly, effortlessly combining elegance with beauty.

Having picked out a dress for Lin Yuan, the group also chose one for Lin Jiaxin, Lady Liu, and Lao Fan. Of course, they couldn’t forget Xiao Yongyan’s clothes either.

Now that Lin Yongyan had started to walk, despite being only a little over a year old, he was clever and opinionated, not sparing a single glance at clothes he didn’t like.

However, the little guy was exceptionally good at winning over hearts. As long as he was told that the clothes were bought by his eldest sister, he would immediately burst into delighted laughter, reaching for them with his little hands and refusing to let go no matter how others teased him.

If using Xiao Linshuang’s words, this little one was really a sycophant. She looked down on him.

With the clothes chosen for everyone, they naturally couldn’t leave out Dong Qing. To thank him for accompanying them shopping, Lin Yuan also let Dong Qing pick out a dress he liked.

Upon hearing that he was getting clothes, Dong Qing’s eyes lit up, and he chuckled, "Really? Thank you, Miss Lin, for the reward."

Lin Yuan frowned, very much put off by the word "reward": "It’s not a reward, it’s a thank-you."

Dong Qing, whose mind was completely on the new clothes, didn’t care about the difference at all and babbled endlessly while picking his clothes: "New clothes, it’s been over a year since I got new ones.

The young master hasn’t come back for a year, and even forgot my clothes.

Oh, this one’s not bad; no, no, it’s too dark.

With my handsome and valiant appearance, wearing this color will make me look so old.

Eh? This one is quite nice, so clean and innocent.

If I wear this out, I’m sure I’ll absolutely bewilder all the little maids at Young Master Su’s house. Haha, perfect, I’m taking this one."

Although it had only been a day, everyone was already well-acquainted with Dong Qing’s mouth and simply tuned out his soliloquy.

Watching him change from one garment to another, Xiao He was astonished, thinking, how could he be even more indecisive than a woman?

But it was Xiao Linshuang who finally couldn’t stand it anymore when Dong Qing was trying on his seventh garment, begging him with a pained expression: "Dong Qing sir, please be merciful and pick a garment quickly. My stomach is starting to protest, and if you don’t decide soon, I’ll starve to death. "

Xiao Linshuang’s plea voiced the thoughts of all the sisters. Lin Wei and Xiao He immediately looked at Dong Qing with pleading eyes, making him feel a bit embarrassed.

He chuckled, rummaging through the garments he had just tried on, and finally excitedly held one up, "This one it is!"

Huh?

Xiao Linshuang collapsed helplessly onto the table: "Isn’t that the first one you tried on?"
