Seeing his confusion, Sheng Hong sighed and told him everything that had happened in the past few years when he was away. At the same time, he warned him, "The eldest lady is confused. Otherwise, I would not have given the housekeeper power to your sister-in-law not long after she gave birth to An Ge'er. Fortunately, she has done a good job in the past two years.

It was also because of the experience of the eldest lady. When I was choosing a wife for you, I asked someone to inquire about Liu's character. I heard that she was a good manager of the household, so I chose a girl from the Liu family for you. When you move out in the future, you will have no worries with Liu in charge of the backyard."

Chang Feng felt Sheng Hong's deep fatherly love from his words.

In the following days, the Sheng family began to make intensive preparations for Changfeng's wedding.

When planning Chang Feng's wedding, Yu Yanran and Chang Feng inevitably had more interactions because they needed to buy things for Chang Feng and Liu's future courtyard.

But whenever Yu Yanran thought about the gifts of unworthy value that Chang Feng sent to the Sheng family every year under the pretext of giving gifts to various places in the family, she began to feel uneasy.

Perhaps she was just being too sentimental, she always suspected that Chang Feng still had feelings for her.

Therefore, Yu Yanran kept the gifts that Chang Feng sent her in the bottom of her box. She planned to find an opportunity to return them after Chang Feng had a daughter.

When Chang Feng came back this time, Yu Yanran always kept a distance from him.

They would not meet unless it was necessary. Even if they had to meet to discuss something, they would be accompanied by a group of maids.

Chang Feng originally wanted to find an opportunity to have a good talk with Yu Yanran, but until the yard was decorated, he didn't find any opportunity.

Chang Feng had no idea what was going on. Yu Yanran must have discovered that he still had feelings for her, so she avoided him as much as possible.

Yu Yanran and Chang Feng only interacted during the time she was preparing for his wedding.

After Changfeng and Liu's wedding, Yu Yanran had less interactions with Changfeng, but spent more time with Changfeng's wife, Liu.

One day, Yu Yanran and Liu went to pay their respects to Old Madam Sheng and were invited to stay for dinner. During the meal, Yu Yanran smelled the fishy smell of meat and felt sick.

After calling a doctor to check her pulse, she found out that she was more than a month pregnant. The doctor also said that Yu Yanran's pregnancy was a little unstable because of the hard work she had been doing in recent days.

In order to take care of her pregnancy with peace of mind, Yu Yanran handed over the housekeeping power to Mrs. Sheng without hesitation.

Thinking about Minglan's wedding soon, Mrs. Sheng took over the management of the household.

Afterwards, Minglan's marriage was entirely handed over to Madam Sheng, who raised her.

While Yu Yanran was recuperating at home, Minglan and Gu Tingye, who had just returned from military campaign, held their wedding.

On the day when Minglan returned home, all the daughters and sons-in-law of the Sheng family who had married out came.

Looking around at his son, daughter-in-law, daughter and son-in-law in the room, Sheng Hong's face turned sour from smiling.

Yu Yanran saw Molan, Rulan and Minglan gathered together for the first time in a long time, and recalled the days when she studied in Sheng Family School. Suddenly, Yu Yanran had an inspiration and wanted to capture this scene with her brush.

Chang Bai had been supporting Yu Yanran with concern to prevent her from being touched by others, so he immediately noticed the sudden light in her eyes and asked with a smile: "What's wrong? I see that you seem to be in a good mood all of a sudden?"

Yu Yanran glanced at Molan and the others across from her, then leaned over to Changbai and whispered, "I suddenly had an idea to paint the happy and harmonious Sheng family in the painting. But I'm afraid it's hard for me to do it alone, so you have to help me~"

After hearing what Yu Yanran said, Changbai also felt that this was a very good idea.

If the image of a family can be painted into a painting, the descendants in the family in the future will be able to know from the painting what their elders looked like when they were young.

But he had to go to court every day, so he might not have enough time to help Yu Yanran paint. He was a little worried that Yu Yanran, who was pregnant, would work too hard alone.

The two of them were whispering together, and Gu Tingye, one of the protagonists today, saw them. He had always had a good relationship with Changbai, and he smiled and joked, "Changbai, what are you whispering about with your wife? You left me, the guest, aside?"

Gu Tingye's words made everyone in the room look at Changbai and his wife.

Changbai looked at the people who were looking over and suddenly clapped his hands, "Oh, why didn't I think of that my sisters and brothers-in-law are here now and can help!"

Just when everyone was wondering what Changbai wanted them to do for help.

Yu Yanran expressed her idea of ​​painting for her family, especially today when everyone in the family was gathered together, which was a good opportunity.

When Molan was in her boudoir, she was particularly fond of calligraphy and painting. After hearing Yu Yanran's words, she was the first to speak out in agreement.

"Okay, if it's painting, I can help!"

"I can too!"

After Molan expressed her opinion, Changfeng immediately followed suit and expressed his agreement, thinking that in this way he could still be in the same painting with her.

After Molan and Changfeng spoke up, the others also expressed their agreement one after another. It was only after Changbai and Yu Yanran proposed this idea that they realized that they could draw their own images for future generations to know.

After listening to what the children in the room said, Sheng Hong also thought that this was a good idea, which would become a good story if it spread out, so he asked someone to invite the old lady to come and be included in the painting.

When Mrs. Sheng learned that she was going to be included in the painting, she excitedly came to the garden where everyone was preparing to paint.

While painting, Sheng Hong, as the head of the family, arranged seats for everyone.

Sheng Hong and Madam Wang sat on either side of Old Lady Sheng, and the three of them sat on the chairs in the front.

The first person from the left at the back is Changbai, holding the naive Anger in his arms. The second from the left is Yu Yanran, the third from the left is Changfeng, and the last one is Liu.

At the end were the three daughters and sons-in-law of the Sheng family. Molan, Rulan and Minglan were ranked according to age, with their respective husbands standing beside them.

Chang Feng couldn't help but feel secretly delighted when he saw Sheng Hong arranged him next to Yu Yanran.

Just as she was rejoicing, Madam Wang suddenly said, "It's a pity Hualan didn't come today, otherwise she could have been included in the painting."

Changbai then realized that they had subconsciously ignored Hualan who had not returned, and hurriedly said, "It's nothing. I'll make room for you and your sister and brother-in-law in the painting later."

After hearing Changbai's answer, Madam Wang nodded with satisfaction.

After the seats were arranged, Changbai, his younger brothers and sisters, and several brothers-in-law spent more than an hour drawing the picture.

During this period, Yu Yanran had to rest for a while due to physical discomfort. When she came back, her image was already vivid on the paper.

Her image was naturally painted by Changbai. Yu Yanran's every frown and smile had long been deeply rooted in Changbai's heart. Even if he didn't watch her paint, he could still understand it in his mind.

After the family portrait was finished, everyone felt a little unsatisfied.

The three daughters of the Sheng family, in particular, were full of praise for the finished painting, and all planned to paint a separate portrait of the couple after returning home.

After they left with their husbands, they couldn't help but learn how the Sheng family painted family portraits.

Soon the practice of painting family portraits became popular throughout the capital, and provided employment for many painters in the capital.

Sheng Hong, the first person to paint this picture, also gained the attention of the emperor in the court. Knowing that the Sheng family was harmonious, he praised them with the words "A harmonious family brings prosperity."
