Xu Zhiqing sneezed loudly.

Qi Yunyi brought her a shawl to prevent her from catching a cold.

Xu Zhiqing happily put on her shawl and continued to follow Qi Yunyi.

Xiao Chong arrived late. The old Chinese painting master learned that Qi Yunyi had finished the college entrance examination and was now in Jiangcheng. As soon as he closed his eyes, many stick figures of various colors appeared in front of him.

It's clearly just a few simple lines, but somehow, it allows people to tell who the stick figures in her series are.

Especially the despicable character wearing a yellow chicken hat, he is almost becoming the old man's nightmare.

The old man, deeply troubled by the stickman, was worried from the bottom of his heart that his favorite disciple, Xiao Chong, would be led astray by Qi Yunyi.

After all, if you spend more time with Xiao Chong, you will know that she is a complete sister complex.

Whatever my sister says is right, whatever she does is good, and whatever my sister likes is what she likes.

The old man was really worried that his favorite student would suddenly come to him one day with a book of stick figure comics and happily ask for credit.

To be honest, when facing the stickman, the old man's soul-stirring picky spirit had no chance to be put into practice.

Just ask yourself, what kind of painting style can you find in this silly stick figure made up of a few simple and crude lines?

Are you picking on the lines? They're too thick, too thin, too long, or too short, right?

Of course, when he learned that Qi Yunyi's 18th birthday was coming soon, the old man began to stay indoors. He first asked Xiao Chong, and learned from Xiao Chong that Qi Yunyi liked traditional Chinese style and liked exquisite and beautiful things.

Chinese style is not limited to the freehand style. Thanks to Yang Shizi and Zhiyinman, which collaborates with Yang Shizi, the old man also knows what is popular among young people nowadays.

Xiao Chong came late today because the old man called him to pick up a gift.

It was not a small booklet, about half the size of a small insect, and it was said to be a gift for Qi Yunyi.

"Mr. didn't come?"

Qi Yunyi stuck her head out and glanced at the street.

Well, the old man really didn’t come.

He is so stingy, like a child. He gets angry for so long over a small matter. He didn't even come to her 18th birthday. What a stubborn old man.

After Qi Yunyi finished complaining, she took Xiao Chong inside to open the gift given by the old man.

The booklet contains various beautiful pictures of great beauty.

You can tell that it was hand-painted by the old man himself.

There was also a picture of Qi Yunyi herself, but she had goat horns in the picture, and both her eyes and expression gave her the look of a demon.

what?

What are you doing?

Didn't you just draw a stick figure? You took it to the old gentleman with good intentions, saying you were asking for advice, but in fact you just wanted to see how picky the old gentleman could be about the stick figure?

It's bad enough that he holds a grudge, but he actually thinks she's a big devil?

But hey, I'm really good-looking.

Qi Yunyi admired the painting for a while, put it away carefully, and no longer worried about the old man's grudge.

"This old man is stubborn, but he has a soft heart. Even though he didn't come, the gifts arrived. He's a very nice person."

When your painting is criticized by an old man and sent back to be repainted, you probably won't think that he is a good person, right?

Xiao Chong thought about it exhaustedly.

Fortunately, she had been a student under the old man since she was a child, and was also the student that the old man was most proud of.

In addition, she was still very young when she became the old gentleman's disciple, so the old gentleman was actually very tolerant towards her.

After seeing how the old teacher scolded the senior students in front of him, I felt grateful that the teacher was so nice to me.

Qi Yunyi received a lot of gifts, and she wanted to hide and open them, but was called out by the adults.

She wore a dress today with a dreamy blue gradient, which was more Chinese in style. Her hair was styled with a headband of the same color.

She wore three very clear emerald bracelets on her wrists, the kind of very thin jade bracelets.

Xu Zhiqing also brought a gift, a big gold bracelet. She was much more straightforward than the adults. She took off the packaging and put it on Qi Yunyi.

So, she wore three clear and beautiful emerald jade bracelets on one hand, and a very wide gold bracelet on the other hand, which was obviously very heavy.

It looks a bit like the gold bracelet in the Dunhuang flying murals.

Needless to say, Xu Zhiqing's original intention was definitely because this design could make the big gold bracelet look bigger, heavier, and more valuable.

She spent all her pocket money on it, so it had to be valuable.

Qi Yunyi was a little bit amused and helpless, and finally she could only go over with jade in one hand and gold in the other to have dinner with her family.

Yuecheng Restaurant has been renovated. The top private room has a performance stage in front. When the music starts, young ladies in Hanfu dance gracefully and elegantly.

Qi Yunyi held her face in her hands, wanting to wave her hands, continue playing the music, and continue dancing.

What is imperial enjoyment?

This is what the emperor enjoyed.

However, she didn't dare, after all, not only her parents were there, but also a group of elders.

Even Li Hehua and the twins were there, but Qi Aimin was not.

The twins still looked like they were servile. They came over and said happy birthday to Qi Yunyi. After that, they started blinking and said, "Sister, we both got into college."

It was a local university in Jiangcheng. In fact, their scores were higher and they had other options, but they both chose the local one.

The main reason is that Li Hehua is getting older and now she complains of leg pain when she walks.

As for Qi Aimin, he had completely ignored them. Now, Qi Aimin was more like a blood-sucking leech, and he would occasionally do odd jobs.

He would use the money he earned from odd jobs to buy wine and meat, and then he would eat meat and drink wine, just to indulge himself.

What does it have to do with him whether I am full or my children have enough to eat?

It’s good enough that he didn’t steal the alimony that Qi Aiguo gave to Li Hehua.

He did this once. He stole money to buy expensive cigarettes and alcohol and distributed them to his friends. Listening to his friends' flattery, he felt so proud that he almost flew to heaven.

As a result, the twins almost dropped out of school.

Li Hehua seldom comes to her eldest brother's place, nor does she go to her daughter's place. They both live their own lives and don't bother each other.

In the old lady's mind, the only thought she has is to raise the twins.

In the plot, the twins dropped out of school early, not because they had no money to study, but because they were not interested in studying.

And Qi Aimin made a fortune early on by sucking the blood of his elder brother and doing business with no capital. After he had some small success, the two of them became less and less willing to learn.

Without Qi Aimin, who made them rich, their mother no longer wanted them. She decisively chose to divorce and run away after Qi Aimin went to jail. Only their grandmother was willing to raise them despite her old age.

The twins, on the other hand, grew up sensible very early on. Not only were they not as hateful as they were portrayed in the plot, they also got into college.
