Xiqiu gratefully curtsied to Nanny Fang, "Thank you, Nanny." She then took Chunyan to the east.
Xiqiu exited the side gate of the main house, crossed the bridge, and headed straight to Tong Shen Zhi's courtyard. He was indeed at home, reading a book in the main room. Upon seeing Xiqiu enter, he stood and said, "Sixth Sister, do you need something?"
Xiqiu accepted the bundle handed over by Chunyan, "The clothing is made, and I managed to get some cloud brocade from Mother to make a spring shirt. Try it on, Eldest Brother, see if it fits well. If it doesn't, I can make alterations."
Tong Shen Zhi took the bundle expressionlessly, said nothing, and went to the bedroom. Shortly, he appeared wearing the lake-blue cloud brocade vest, showed himself briefly before Xiqiu, and then silently changed back into the sapphire-blue summer shirt, stating flatly without any emotion, "They fit well."
