"What a pity, such a beautiful view can't be captured. If only I had a camera," Nan Wusi muttered to himself as he walked.
What is a camera?
Nan Wusi hadn't expected that Xia Ziqian, who was standing nearby, had overheard her words. How was she supposed to explain this?
"A camera is something that can record what you see, much like painting. I've only ever seen it mentioned in books," Nan Wusi said, making things up.
“It’s amazing that such a wonderful thing exists in this world. However, if Miss Nan likes the scenery, Ziqian may try to paint a picture for her.” Xia Ziqian smiled. “Miss Nan’s red dress today matches the red maple leaves very well, and even this jade pendant is just right.”
"Really? I also think this jade pendant matches my outfit perfectly." Nan Wusi hadn't been wearing anything at first, but after going out, she felt something was missing, so she put on the Mandarin Duck Blood Jade she had redeemed in the shop last time. Fortunately, items redeemed in the system could be temporarily stored in the system.
"But painting is too much trouble for Young Master Xia," Nan Wusi said somewhat embarrassedly.
"It's no trouble at all, as long as Miss Nan is happy," Xia Ziqian said with a smile.
Red Maple Mountain wasn't very high, so the group reached the summit before noon. Even so, Ouyang Xinxi was exhausted, and Nan Wusi had to support her for the rest of the journey.
The group was very excited when they reached the top of the mountain, because the scenery there was exceptionally beautiful. The endless expanse of red flowers created a magnificent, fiery red panorama that stirred their hearts.
"Wu Si, I heard last time that your clothing store is about to open. Has the opening date been set?" Ouyang Xinxi suddenly remembered that she had mentioned this at the General's wife's birthday banquet. She admired Nan Wu Si's courage and envied her for being able to do whatever she wanted.
"It should be in three days," Nan Wusi replied. Although the decoration was complete and the bronze mirror would be ready by then, her limited-edition ready-to-wear clothes had not yet been updated. She always felt that although the other ready-to-wear clothes were also beautiful, they did not have that sense of awe, which made her somewhat anxious.
"I'll definitely be there to support you," Ouyang Xinxi said, raising her smiling face.
"Okay, then I'll thank Xinxi for her support first," Nan Wusi said happily.
The summit of Red Maple Mountain is not large; apart from a viewing platform, there is only the large Red Maple Villa.
At this moment, the group was simply chatting and enjoying the scenery on the viewing platform. Surprisingly, however, a servant from the Prime Minister's residence came looking for them.
"Young Miss, something has happened at the manor. I have come to inform you to return home."
"What happened at the manor? Why are you in such a hurry to call me back?" Ouyang Xinxi was full of questions.
"The old lady has suddenly fallen ill and is now bedridden. All the young ladies who were away have returned to the mansion."
“Grandmother has always been in good health, how could she suddenly fall ill?” Ouyang Xinxi asked, puzzled.
"This servant does not know."
"Wu Si, something has come up at home, so I have to go back to my residence first." Ouyang Xinxi looked at Nan Wu Si apologetically.
“Then we’ll accompany you down the mountain.” Nan Wusi immediately stood up as well.
"Ah, no need. Don't let me disturb your enjoyment." Ouyang Xinxi refused. She already felt guilty, and if Nan Wusi and the others escorted her down the mountain, she would be even more unable to forgive herself.
"Then you must be careful." Nan Wusi was still a little worried.
"I will. Everyone, Xinxi will take her leave now." Ouyang Xinxi bowed to everyone and then followed the servant back to her residence.
After Ouyang Xinxi left, the group's mood became slightly somber, but then a strange sound rang out.
"Coo~ Coo coo".
Nan Wusi was instantly embarrassed. "Haha, I'm a little hungry."
Xia Ziqian smiled slightly, finding Nan Wusi somewhat adorable at that moment.
“Since Miss Nan is hungry, let’s have lunch at Red Maple Manor,” Xia Ziqian suggested.
“Great! I’m starving too. I’ve heard that the food at Red Maple Manor is not only beautiful to look at, but also incredibly delicious. I’ve been wanting to try it for ages,” Nan Wufeng said.
"I never expected that my older brother was also a hidden foodie." Nanwu smiled knowingly.
The Red Maple Manor is very grand, as can be seen from the main gate alone. On either side of the gate stands an ancient red maple tree, its leaves almost completely covering the top of the gate, creating a striking contrast with the white walls.
The vermilion gate was wide open, and two maids with identical figures and beautiful faces stood on either side. Upon closer inspection, it could be seen that the two maids looked exactly alike.
The two women immediately bowed upon seeing them, and the maid on the right said, "Gentlemen, this way please."
The group then followed the woman into Red Maple Manor. Upon entering the gate, they found an artificial hill and a pond, where several carp frolicked.
Passing through another archway leads to a U-shaped corridor, at the end of which is the main hall of Red Maple Manor.
Upon entering the hall, the group discovered that although the hall was enormous, it was almost full, with only one guest sitting at a table in the corner.
"I'm so sorry, gentlemen, the main hall is full. You'll have to wait a moment." The waiter greeted them apologetically. "However, we have a lounge available. Please feel free to move in and sit for a while."
"I'll go ask the guests over there if we can share a table," Nan Wusi volunteered. She was familiar with this situation; she was used to not having a seat anywhere when she went out to play.
When she walked over, she discovered that, lo and behold, it was someone she knew.
