"No way!" Leng Yu Yan declared, "I'll choose now."
If she dressed like a commoner, it would be easier to blend into the crowds and escape unnoticed.
She immediately selected a piece of indigo and a piece of lilac fabric.
Seeing her pick only two pieces, Aunt asked, "Why choose such simple elegance? You have fair skin; red would suit you."
Leng Yu Yan smiled, "During my marriage, I wore red for a whole month; I'll go with lilac this time."
A new bride needed to wear red for a month, and Aunt laughed, "That's true, then pick a few more pieces of other colors."
Thinking of someone's usual color choices and considering their current need to evade assassination, she also picked up a piece of dark green.
"Just these three pieces, any more and I couldn't sew them all."
Aunt stuffed two pieces of wool into Leng Yu Yan's arms, "This will keep you warm; take it!"
