Xu Mansion, study room.

Gu'an was painting seriously. In the fields and mountains, surrounded by green peaks, two children were chasing and playing, holding windmills and running with the wind. The painting was vivid. Seeing the windmill today reminded him of a memory about windmills in his childhood.

, so he drew it with his pen. He inherited Xu Xian's specialty, he liked painting, and he was an excellent painter. The portrait that Xu Xian painted for his wife hung in the study. He often looked at it for a long time and pondered carefully. His grandfather's paintings were like this.

To convey the spirit, there must be deep intention. It made him realize that the soul of painting is the word "heart", so every painting of his is made with intention. In his early years, he was also appreciated by the royal painter in the palace, who wanted to call him

He entered the palace to paint, but he declined politely because he did not want to be restricted by any means and his ambition was not within the palace.

"Gu'an." Shilin knocked on the door and entered.

"Dad." Gu'an put down the brush.

"I'm painting, what are you painting?" Shilin walked up and took a look.

"It doesn't matter if you draw it casually."

"It seems plain, but it is full of childishness. Your painting skills have improved."

"No way, it's far worse than grandpa's paintings." He looked at the paintings on the wall.

"This painting was made with your grandfather's heart, blood, and many thoughts. You don't need to compare with it at your young age. You have your own style."

"Children don't dare, that's what dad taught you."

"This painting of yours seems very familiar to me. I seem to have seen it somewhere before." Shi Lin said with clues.

"Dad, do you still remember when your child went to Chenghuang Mountain to play with his grandfather when he was a child, and he got lost?"

"Remember, we searched all over the mountain for you, which made your grandpa anxious, but you ended up having a lot of fun there, right?"

"Yes, yes, that was the time."

"I remember there was a little girl with you, hmm, is that her?" Shilin pointed to the child in the painting.

"My child also suddenly remembered it and thought it was a good memory. I wanted to draw it as a souvenir." Shilin nodded and said.

"This child should be as old as you now. I don't know what happened to her. I remember she was quite pretty when she was a child. She may have been married."

"Will it?" Gu'an asked.

"When a girl grows up, she will naturally get married," Shi Lin said.

"What's getting married? Who wants to get married?" Bi Lian suddenly entered the room.

"No one is getting married, we are chatting." Shilin said.

"I clearly heard you say that when a girl gets older, she will naturally get married. Which family is the girl from?"

"Here, this is it." Shilin pointed to the little man in the painting.

"You're trying to scare me with this again. I don't know what you two are doing sitting in the study all day long. You're not serious."

"Mom~~." Gu'an put his hands on Bilian and said coquettishly.

"Come on, let's go back to the house. Gu'an, you should rest early." Shilin took Bilian back to the house.

"I know, good night, mom and dad."

bedroom.

"Brother, you should advise An'er to make a plan, get a good name and become an official like you, or run a business, have a career, or find a house and a wife for him, take care of him, so that he doesn't have to run out all day and scream.

People are worried, what do you think?" Bilian said while lying down.

"Gu'an is still young, so why are you anxious? He has his own plans. It seems a little early to ask for a wife. Do you want to be a grandmother so soon?"

"Oh, I'm telling you seriously, please don't act perfunctory with me, okay?"

"I am also speaking seriously. Gu'an has had his own ideas since he was a child. Let's not worry too much about it. He has his own plans."

"He has his own plan? What plan?"

"I don't know this, I haven't asked him."

"You see, as a father, you don't care about him at all."

"With you here, what do I need to worry about?"

"You, it seems like I am the only one in this family and this son, and don't care about anything." Bilian complained.

"Okay, I'll talk to him another day, okay." Shilin said and lay down.

"Don't sleep. I haven't finished saying anything yet. Get up." Bilian pulled him up.

"You tell me, I'm listening." Shilin lay flat on his back and closed his eyes.

"I really like this girl Rou'er. She has a gentle personality and is well-educated. Do you think it's okay to let her be our wife?"

"Rou'er is very nice, but it doesn't matter if you like her. Gu'an must also like her."

"They grew up together. They are very familiar with each other and get along very well. How could An'er not like her?"

"They are still young, so they see how anxious you are."

"Let's make a decision now, so I can rest assured."

"You're just like mother, you worry too much about everything. Wouldn't it be nice to just let them let nature take its course?"

"What do you know? I want to take precautions before it happens. I'll talk to Xiangqiao tomorrow. She will definitely be happy."

"What should you be careful about? Don't rush this matter. Don't mess around."

"I..., why is this so random? We are sworn sworn friends with Brother Baoshan, and we are family friends with the Qi family. Wouldn't it be better if the two families could get married? Don't you want to?"

"I'm just thinking about playing chess with Duke Zhou. He has been waiting for me for a long time. I won't say anything anymore. Go to sleep." Shilin turned over and ignored her.

"Every time I tell you something, it's like this. Hum, I won't care about anything from now on. It depends on what you do." After saying that, she turned over and fell asleep.

Embroidery Village.

A woman stood at the door of Xiuzhuang and looked around before stepping in.

"Girl, what do you want to buy? We have many kinds of embroidery here with fine workmanship. Please take a look." Yun'er greeted.

"Can I look around?"

"Okay, you see, every piece of embroidery we have here is unique. It can be customized or purchased now. It uses the best fabrics and embroidery threads. What does the girl want? Purse, handkerchief, pillow cover.

, we have all kinds of curtains here." Yun'er introduced.

"Oh, let me take a look." The woman walked over and looked at the embroidery.

"Yun'er, this is the pillow cover custom-made by Mrs. Shen. It's finished. You'll deliver it in a moment." Qingyue came out of the back room and handed it to Yun'er.

"Okay, I'll be there soon." Yun'er took it.

The woman suddenly looked up at Qingyue and looked her up and down.

"This is the owner of our embroidery shop." Yun'er introduced to the woman.

"Hello, my name is Lu Qingyue, how can I help you?" Qingyue said with a smile, and saw the woman staring at her closely.

"Girl?" Qingyue looked a little embarrassed when she saw her.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I just didn't expect that the owner of this embroidery shop is such a young and beautiful girl. I'm sorry." The woman turned around and said.

"It doesn't matter, girl, I'm grateful. I just learned some needlework skills and opened an embroidery shop to support my family," Qingyue said.

"This is no way to support the family. This girl is too modest. This craftsmanship is simply amazing and no one can match it." The woman praised.

"You said that, Qingyue is really ashamed." Qingyue lowered her head, her face slightly red.

"This room..." The woman looked around with a calm expression, but there was a twinkle in her eyes.

"What's wrong with this house?"

"It's nothing. It's very elegant and suits you very well, girl."

"That's very polite of you. Please sit down and have some tea." Qingyue handed over the tea.

"Thank you." The woman sat down.

"The girl doesn't seem to be a local."

"Yes, my hometown is in Fenghuang Mountain, Anhui."

"Phoenix Mountain? What a wonderful place with outstanding people."

"Miss Qingyue, you should be 18 this year, right?" The woman smiled and asked suddenly.

"Yeah, how do you know?"

"..., I guess, seeing that you are so capable at such a young age,...it's great." The woman stared straight at Qingyue, but hesitated to speak.

"Look, girl, you are not much older than me." Qingyue said with a smile.

'Time flies so fast, I have grown so big in a blink of an eye.' The woman still looked at her, thinking in her heart.

"By the way, you haven't asked the girl her name yet?"

"Just call me Cai Yin." Looking around, every scene and thing seems to be the same as before, but the people in front of me no longer recognize it. The word "Cai Yin" sounds so heavy.

"Cai Yin..., a very nice name." Qingyue thought for a moment and then said with a smile.
