Fang Rushuang felt as if a heavy stone was pressing on her chest, and she left the chaotic place with heavy steps.
There was an indescribable loneliness on her face, as if an invisible mountain was pressing down on her heart, making it hard for her to breathe.
However, Qin Suling turned a blind eye to the chaotic situation around her.
She held tightly in her hand the change she had saved over the days, and already had a plan in mind.
She walked to the market and carefully selected a few quaint courtyards. Although they were small in size, they had a reasonable layout, plenty of light inside the house, and the price was just right.
Even though the courtyard has not been completely renovated, she can already feel the warmth and tranquility of home.
When Qin Suling stepped into her new home, she felt an inexplicable joy in her heart.
She immediately started to get busy, taking out paper and pen, and carefully sketching the headwear needed for the young lady of the Li family who was about to get married.
Qin Suling is a person of meticulous mind, and every stroke of her pen carries deep blessings and expectations.
She deliberately added many auspicious images to the headgear, symbolizing the couple's future happiness and perfection.
This was the first time she took her business so seriously. She devoted herself to it with all her concentration, as if the whole world was only about her and her paintings.
Qingdai was tidying up the house, occasionally looking up at Qin Suling with admiration and a smile on her face.
She had watched the young lady paint since she was a child, but never as seriously as she did today.
She suddenly realized that the young lady's painting skills were so superb and truly hidden.
When Qin Suling handed the drawn pattern to Qingdai, a satisfied smile appeared on her face.
Qingdai carefully took the pattern and prepared to send it to the Li family.
Not long after, she brought back good news. The lady who was about to get married was obsessed with Qin Suling's paintings and praised them highly.
When Qin Suling heard the news, she felt an indescribable sense of relief and pride.
She finally understood that those hobbies that were once ridiculed as "unpresentable" could actually allow her to gain a foothold in the world and live with dignity and value.
At this time, the Qin Mansion was in chaos because of Qin Suling's disappearance.
Old Madam Qin was extremely anxious. She slammed the table and sighed repeatedly, "How could a good person disappear? This child must be depressed. Has something happened to him?"
Nanny Zhou beside her hurriedly comforted her, "No, the eldest lady is not the kind of person who would think too much! Perhaps she has seen through what Madam and Fang Rushuang have done and doesn't want to see them anymore."
Qin Suyu was also in a state of confusion. She sat in her boudoir and heard her cousin's chattering voice: "Sister Yu, Sister Yu! Did you see this? This is a new trick I asked someone to come up with!"
She nodded perfunctorily to respond to her cousin's excitement and anticipation, but her heart was filled with resentment towards Qin Suling.
Qin Suyu has never cared about the prosperity of Zhongjie Street. She always feels that although there are many jewelry shops in the south of the city, she is tired of all the styles.
However, an accidental stroll allowed her to discover a different scenery in a corner of the east city.
The streets in the east of the city are different from the hustle and bustle of the central streets. They are more quiet and simple.
That day, Qin Suyu was strolling and suddenly saw a little-known shop. In front of the door were a wide variety of jewelry and head ornaments. Each one seemed to have a unique soul and exuded charming brilliance.
She stopped and stared, feeling an inexplicable joy in her heart.
As you step into the store, a faint scent of sandalwood hits your nose, making you feel relaxed and happy.
The store displays a wide variety of jewelry, each piece is exquisite and dazzling.
Qin Suyu's eyes were attracted by a hairpin, on which was inlaid an orchid. The petals were delicate and lifelike, as if swaying in the wind, emitting a faint fragrance.
She couldn't help but pick up the hairpin and gently wave it over her head, with a smug smile on her lips.
"Look at this orchid, how lively it is! I have never seen anything as beautiful as this. The artist must understand women very well."
My cousin's voice rang in my ears, with a bit of envy and admiration.
Qin Suyu looked up at her and saw a gleam in her cousin's eyes, as if she was also attracted by the hairpin.
"But the shopkeeper said that the one who painted the patterns was his boss. He was usually busy and didn't paint often. Only recently did he start to produce excellent works. I'm afraid that it won't be long before the demand exceeds the supply!"
My cousin continued, with a look of regret on her face.
When Qin Suyu heard this, her heart moved and she looked carefully at the hairpin in her hand.
She seemed to have seen this way of painting orchids somewhere before.
She frowned and thought about it, and suddenly her eyes lit up. The way this orchid was painted was so similar to the pattern on Qin Suling's handkerchief!
She looked more closely and found that the way the orchid was painted was indeed unique and very different from what she usually saw.
The only time she saw such painting was on Qin Suling's handkerchief.
An inexplicable emotion surged in Qin Suyu's heart, and she couldn't help but tighten the hairpin in her hand.
"Where did you buy this?" she asked in a lost voice, with a hint of urgency in her voice.
"The jewelry shop, east of the city." The cousin answered with a look of confusion on her face.
Qin Suyu had already made up her mind. She immediately took her cousin's hand and said, "Let's go now!"
The two hurriedly left the boudoir and ran towards the jewelry shop in the east of the city.
Qin Suyu's heart was beating very fast. She didn't know why she was so excited, but the intuition in her heart told her that all this was related to Qin Suling.
The streets in the east of the city are still quiet and quaint, and the sunlight shines on the bluestone slabs, reflecting a faint luster.
Qin Suyu and her cousin walked quickly forward, their hearts filled with anticipation and anxiety.
They walked through many alleys and finally arrived at the jewelry shop.
The shop is still as quiet as before, and the orchid is still swaying gracefully on the hairpin.
Qin Suyu walked into the store and looked straight at the hairpin.
She reached out her hand and gently stroked the orchid, feeling an inexplicable emotion in her heart.
"I want this hairpin." She whispered, her voice full of determination.
The last time Qin Suyu stepped into this bustling jewelry shop seemed like a dream yesterday. At that time, she was just a little girl in her early teens, following her calm older brother Qin Zhinan.
Time flies, but those memories are like gems inlaid in our hearts, timeless.
That day, Qin Zhinan's eyes were like a hunting eagle, focused on those glittering and precious jewellery. His gaze seemed to be able to penetrate those dazzling lights and reach their deepest value.
Qin Suyu, on the other hand, was like a happy little bird, flying freely in the ocean of jewels, selecting the jewelry she liked.
The pearls and jade in her hands tinkled, like a string of crisp laughter.
Qin Zhinan stood quietly in the corridor, staring at the phoenix golden hairpin.
The phoenix on the golden hairpin looks lifelike, as if it will flap its wings and fly away at any time.
Each tail feather is carefully wrapped with fine gold wire, sparkling with dazzling light.
Qin Suyu couldn't help but look at it a few more times and couldn't help but admire in her heart that this gold hairpin must have cost a lot.
However, it is placed in the most conspicuous position in the store as the treasure of the store, attracting ladies passing by to stop and admire it.
"Brother, why are you looking at that gold hairpin? Mother doesn't like fancy jewelry, and the other sisters are too old to match it!"
Qin Suyu asked curiously.
Qin Zhinan seemed not to hear her words. He just glanced at her calmly and gently pushed her head. "Go and ask the servant to pay the bill for you."
Although Qin Suyu had some doubts in her heart, she did not ask any more questions. She packed a bunch of pink and green pearls and jade, and left happily with the bag.
When she came back again, she found Qin Zhinan standing in front of the counter, talking to the shopkeeper.
She followed Qin Zhinan's gaze and saw that the phoenix hairpin in the cabinet had disappeared.
