Lin Yueqin dared not touch her face for fear she would ruin her makeup. She was in disbelief when she saw her reflection in the water basin. Her eyes widened as she thought, ‘Am I this pretty?’
Lin Yueqin looked at her younger sister with amazement. “You’re gorgeous too!”
Lin Yuechan giggled, saying, “My skin feels lovely, and I don’t even know what Miss Su used in her makeup. It feels amazing. It’s even better than the most expensive cosmetics I used in the past. This makeup doesn’t dry out my skin, either.’
“Miss Su is so amazing, Sister. There’s nothing she can’t do.”
It had been many days since the two sisters moved to Su Teng Village. They were shocked when they heard the many legends about Su Binglan. To them, Su Binglan resembled an angel who had descended to save them.
“Yes, Miss Su is capable.” Liu Yueqin nodded smilingly.
The two sisters were full of excitement for life. They believed everything would improve and they would reunite with their family one day.
Many people had lunch in Su Teng Village at noon and went to the stage early to wait for the play. Many brought stools to sit behind the front-row seats below the stage.
Although Su Binglan had prepared the front-row seats for her family to watch the play, everyone else could sit behind them.
After lunch, the Su family went to help Su Binglan prepare. The family was shocked when they saw the dense crowd surrounding the stage. Su Wenwu’s mouth widened in surprise as he whispered to Su Wenxiu, “Why are there so many people here, Second Brother?”
Su Wenxiu was just as shocked, saying, “How should I know? I didn’t expect to see this many people, either.”
Su Wenzhe asked, ‘Can the people behind us see?”
The Su brothers expressed their doubts as everyone sat and waited for the play. They even chatted and discussed the play enthusiastically.
The atmosphere was lively, causing the Su family to feel a little nervous. The family wondered how Su Binglan’s preparations were going.
‘The actors didn’t have much time to practice, right?’
The family was stunned when they entered the dressing room backstage and saw that everyone was ready.
“S-Sister, those are…
“These are the costumes and makeup for the play,” Su Binglan explained, ‘You guys should go to the front and take your seats. Also, are Grandma and
Grandpa here yet?”
Su Wenzhe replied, “Mother and Yinyin went to get them while Father went to call Granduncle and the others.’
Su Binglan nodded, turned to her actors, and said, “The first scene will be up soon, and Xiaoxun will be the first to act. You’ll be playing Feng Suzhen, okay?
Are you ready?”
Yang Xiaoxun took a deep breath and nodded thoughtfully. “I’m ready, Miss Su!”
She was excited the night before and could not sleep much. Although she had dark circles around her eyes, Su Binglan’s makeup made them disappear.
“You have fifteen minutes until showtime.” Afterward, Su Binglan instructed everyone about their parts.
Su Wenzhe asked, “Is there anything we can help with, Sister?”
“That’s okay. I’ve completed my arrangements. You guys should go and take your seats. The play will start in a while.
“All right.”
Su Wenzhe and the others went to sit in the front row. Then he looked left and right and saw Old Madam Su, Old Master Su, his parents, and the others. Liu Yinyin also invited her parents, brother, sister-in-law, and nephew.
Meanwhile, the villagers and visitors sat behind the family and curiously discussed the play. Everyone envied the Su family for being able to watch the play from the front-row seats.
The Su family was proud to sit in the front and watch Su Binglan’s play. They were also grateful for everything she had done for them. Meanwhile, Old Master Su and Chief Su sat together and laughed happily.
“Our village keeps improving thanks to Binglan.”
“Indeed, other villages can’t compare to ours,” Chief Su chuckled, “Other villages don’t have a market as big as ours.”
“Many people come from far and wide to watch the play, even those from the neighboring county. Binglan is the best.” Old Madam Su was proud of her granddaughter.
“Yes, but it’s also because my eldest brother and sister-in-law managed the village well,” Old Master Su said.
He knew Chief Su dedicated himself to the village and had put much effort into ensuring everyone was honest and kind-hearted before allowing them to live here. It created a perfectly harmonious atmosphere to live in.
Mrs. Liu pulled her daughter aside as the Su family talked. She said, ‘Yinyin, your father and 1 can sit here, thanks to you.”
Liu Yinyin replied, “Well, you’re my parents, and I always consider you two in everything I do. Also, I wasn’t the one who reserved these seats. It was Binglan. ”
“The Su family is so good to us, and your sister-in-law is exceptional,” Mrs.
Liu sighed, “I’m glad Sisi is nicer to you now, too.”
Feng Sisi did not have a good relationship with her maternal family. Her parents passed away when she was a child, and her eldest brother and his wife treated her poorly.
However, Feng Sisi’s brother and sister-in-law became nicer to her when they discovered she was Liu Yinyin’s sister-in-law. After all, Liu Yinyin was close to Su Binglan.
These days, Feng Sisi could stand proud before her brother and his wife. They no longer dared to offend her because they knew she was close to Liu Yinyin, Su Binglan’s sister-in-law.
As everyone chattered below the stage, Su Binglan appeared. She looked at everyone calmly, “Welcome to my play, everyone. I call this play ‘The
Concubine.’ It has six scenes; the first is called ‘The Embroidery Tower’” Afterward, she left the stage and drew the curtains.
When Yang Xiaoxun appeared, she played the character Feng Suzhen and entered the prop tower. Soon after, a narration followed, “This is Feng
Suzhen, a woman who grew up with Li Zhaoting.. The two studied together and…
