In the Si Family Courtyard, Si Jiuyue felt a profound sense of accomplishment as she looked at the candles she had finished making. She had completed twelve beeswax candles in total.
When she lit one, the room was instantly filled with a bright glow. It burned without a trace of smoke, emitting instead a faint, sweet fragrance that was incredibly soothing. Just then, Si Yunche arrived with their friends to call her for dinner. After acknowledging them, Si Jiuyue took the candles and set off with the four young women toward Uncle Zhao Ba’s courtyard.
The sun was still up. The golden rays of the dusk washed over the small courtyard, casting a warm, orange glow over the flowers, grass, benches, and chairs. Si Jiuyue handed the celebratory candles she had crafted to her father. Si Boyan gave his daughter an approving look before personally handing the candles to Zhao Ba.
