As she spoke, Qin Fang quickly jotted down her notes, his eyes gradually brightening.

The manuscript was filled with wise words that stirred the blood of the reader. With this manuscript, the chances of success for the South-to-North Water Diversion Project had greatly increased. He had never believed as much as he did now that coming to Qingshui County three years ago was the best decision of his life.

After the donations for disaster relief and the South-to-North Water Diversion Project were finalized, Su Hua bid farewell to Qin Fang and headed towards Qingshui County. However, as soon as she boarded the carriage, she felt an intense gaze upon her and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow to look at him. "Zichen, what are you looking at? Is there something on my face?"

Xiao Jinhan chuckled softly, "Not at all, I just want to see what Hua'er can't do?"

"I can't?" The girl chuckled, glancing at her own hands. "There are so many things I can't do. I can't do needlework, which is something most girls can do. My mother always says that my hands can hold a pen and a needle, but they can't hold an embroidery needle."

The man shook his head, gently grasping her small fist with his large hand. "Hua'er doesn't need to know needlework; we can hire an embroiderer to do that."

Su Hua's face was slightly flushed. A few days ago, it rained heavily, and the whole family stayed at home. Su Baishi asked her to try embroidery. According to the custom of Yu the Great, the bride's wedding dress had to be embroidered by herself. But when she picked up the silver needles, she completely ruined both her hands and the needles. She didn't even manage to embroider a single foxtail flower.

The carriage clattered southward, and by the time it returned to Su's Restaurant, it was already getting dark. The restaurant hadn't been open for business for days, but the entire Su family had arrived, because tomorrow was the day Su Dahu would announce his county exam results.
