The following day, as scheduled, Shopkeeper Lin arrived and Wufu took Hongyu and Liu Jin onto their family's carriage and went to the County Government Office with him.
"Miss, isn't your attire a bit too plain?" Hongyu asked once more.
It was late autumn approaching winter, and although the weather had already turned cold, Wufu was still dressed in a single layer of light blue cross-collared ruqun; it was the unlined kind, and Hongyu felt chilly just looking at it, yet she insisted it was sufficient.
Her clothing was simple, and her hair even more so. Since she hadn't reached the age of marriage, she hadn't bound her hair into a bun but simply used a light purple silk ribbon to tie a lock of her hair—utter simplicity.
Hongyu glanced at her own wrist, where she wore a silver bracelet, and the beaded flowers adorned her double buns on her head, while the young lady wore nothing but a pair of pearl earrings, with no other accessories.
