During Ren Yaoqi's time at the Lin family, he had met Lin Baoling a few times, but it was only a few encounters, and they didn't have a close relationship. The younger Lin family members, including Lin Baoling, were very fond of their sixth uncle, Lin Kun, and they were very friendly when they met and talked. However, no children usually played in Lin Kun and Ren Shijia's yard. It was unclear whether the elders from the main house had secretly instructed them to do so.

Mrs. Lin San chatted and laughed with everyone in a leisurely manner, but did not mention the reason why Ren Shijia brought Liu here, as if they came here just to have tea and chat with her.

Mrs. Liu was quite patient, never mentioning Fang Yacun's affairs, and devoted herself to chatting and joking with Mrs. Lin San. Although she was plain-looking, her words were very humorous, and she made Mrs. Lin San laugh several times.

By the end, after two bowls of tea, everyone's conversation was still light and casual, ranging from the scale of the Li family's birthday banquet in the west of the city to the new bride of the Gao family in the north of the city.

The children's side was quite lively. Ren Yaoying and Lin Baoling got along very well. Lin Baoling took out several purses that she had embroidered these days, and Ren Yaoying was amazed when she saw them.

"Sister Baoling, your embroidery is truly excellent! Look at the 'Year after year of abundance' pattern; the two carp on it are so lifelike."

Lin Baolin covered her mouth and laughed, looking very happy. The little girl likes to cover her mouth and laugh like this. This is her signature action.

Seeing her happiness, Ren Yaoying enthusiastically asked her about needlework, her attitude of humbly asking for advice made Lin Baolin laugh non-stop, forgetting even to cover her mouth. Only then did everyone notice that two of her teeth were not fully grown. When she smiled too wide, her teeth would easily show. No wonder she liked to cover her mouth whenever she smiled.

"Sister Yaoying, if you like, pick one and take it home. I've embroidered several. Last time, when Brother Cen was one month old, Sisters Li, Chen, and Su came to see them and they all said they were beautiful. The wives also said they were good. I personally modified the patterns on them. They're the only ones you have."

Mrs. Lin San glared at her as she listened. "How dare you boast like that, kid? You're so unruly and are making your sisters laugh at you."

Ren Yaoying said hurriedly, "How could that be? Sister Baolin is really good at embroidery. Unlike me, no matter how much Auntie teaches me, I just can't embroider well."

Everyone likes to hear good words. When Mrs. Lin San saw her beloved granddaughter being praised, the smile on her face deepened a lot.

"Sister Yaoying, pick one. Which one do you want?" Lin Baoling asked with a smile. Thinking of the other sisters, she turned around and asked Ren Yaoqi and the others, "Sister Yaoyin, Sister Yaoqi, you pick one too."

Seeing that Lin Baoling was in high spirits, several people smiled and picked one each. Ren Yaoying asked Lin Baoling with an embarrassed look on her face, "Both 'Bound to Good Fortune' and 'Chang'e Flying to the Moon' are beautiful. Which one do you think I should choose?"

This made Lin Baolin laugh so hard that he covered his mouth, and he finally gave them both to her.

Over there, Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Lin San were chatting more and more familiarly, their words gradually revealing a close and familiar feeling. Mrs. Liu took the opportunity to say, "Sister Yuan, I heard that you are also very good at appreciating calligraphy and painting. I just bought a piece of calligraphy and painting and I'm not sure if it's authentic. Could you please authenticate it for me, Sister Yuan?"

Mrs. Lin San was stunned. Although she was born into a scholarly family, she was praised for her expertise in appreciating calligraphy and painting. However, when she looked at Liu's expression, she immediately realized that this was an excuse for Liu to talk to her in private.
