Qin Yalan sat aside and feasted on her meal, while Shaoyao and the servant nervously used their bodies to block the flow of people in front of the stall for her.
Seeing that she had finally finished eating, Shaoyao breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly handed her a handkerchief. "Miss, can't you just go back and eat more? There are so many people at the entrance of the college. It would be embarrassing to be watched!"
Qin Yalan wiped the corner of her mouth nonchalantly and said, "What are you afraid of? No one knows me. Besides, it's still An An. I worry about her every day and come out to look for her without even having breakfast. She's fine. She's set up her stall and is living a very comfortable life."
Qin Yalan wiped her mouth, Shaoyao quickly took the hood and put it on her before standing behind her properly.
After a while, all the braised meat was sold out, and Qingmei and others began to pack up their stall.
After Chen Feng packed up his stall, he came over and asked Qin Yalan to go back with them. "Miss Qin, we have packed up our stall and you can go back now. I'm sorry, but you have to walk over there. The mansion is only two blocks away, so we'll be there soon."
Qin Yalan stood up and said casually: "It's okay, lead the way!"
When Qin Yalan arrived at Tian An's house, she was told that Tian An was out and not at home.
"Did she say when she would be back?"
Chun Xi shook her head. "Our girl doesn't always come back at a fixed time. Sometimes she's early, sometimes she's late. If Miss Qin doesn't have anything important to do, why not stay and have some tea and see if you can wait for her to come back?"
Qin Yalan thought that there was nothing important at home, so she agreed, "Then I'll wait for her for a while!"
Then he asked his servant to go back and inform her father that the person had been found, and asked everyone at the city gate to come back.
Qin Yalan sat in the hall for a while, then felt bored and went for a walk in the yard.
As we walked, we arrived at the house where the girls made velvet flowers.
Mangzhong and the others all knew her, so they invited her in to play.
Qin Yalan picked up a newly made crabapple flower hairpin and said, "Is this the new silk flower you made? It's more beautiful than the ones you made before!"
Dong Meng proudly explained to her while making velvet lace: "Miss Qin, this is not a silk flower! This is a velvet flower newly developed by our daughter. Our daughter said it symbolizes prosperity and wealth."
Qin Yalan clicked her tongue twice and said, "What's wrong with this little girl An An's head? How can she think of everything? Ronghua Ronghua, Ronghua Ronghua, doesn't it mean wealth and glory!"
Qin Yalan went to look at other velvet flowers. They had already made a lot of them during the Grain in Ear season, including camellias, peonies, peony, lilacs, and roses. Each one was different, but each one had its own characteristics, and each one was incredibly beautiful.
"You girls are so skilled! Each flower is so beautifully crafted, it looks just like the real thing! If you add some incense and add a dragonfly or butterfly or two, it will look just like the real thing."
Hearing this, the maids looked at each other and said happily, "Miss Qin, your idea is really great. Let's try it now."
Looking at the maids making velvet flowers seriously, Qin Yalan realized belatedly that she had given them a good idea.
In the following time, the girls worked hard on making velvet flowers, occasionally asking Qin Yalan for advice. Qin Yalan was also willing to teach them what she knew.
On a whim, he asked Chunxi to bring pen, ink, paper and inkstone to start drawing patterns for them.
Time passed by bit by bit. Qin Yalan finished another pattern and finally stopped. She raised her hand to rub her sore neck, glanced at the sky outside and exclaimed, "Ah! It's getting so dark! Shaoyao, why didn't you remind me!"
Shaoyao lowered her head and said, "I didn't dare to disturb you because I saw you were so focused on your painting. You haven't been so focused on something for a long time. You looked so beautiful just now."
Qin Yalan was stunned: "Really?"
"Really, the way you looked so serious just now seemed like you were radiating light. If you don't believe me, just ask Mangzhong and the others." Shaoyao said excitedly.
Seeing Qin Yalan looking at them, the maids nodded hurriedly, "Really? Miss Qin looked so confident and beautiful when she was drawing the patterns just now. She really made people feel like she was glowing."
Qin Yalan's face turned red when they praised her. Chunxi came over at this time and asked her if Tian An had returned.
Chun Xi shook her head apologetically, "The girl hasn't come back yet! But it's getting late now, she should be back soon."
Qin Yalan glanced at the sky again and said, "Forget it, I'll come back tomorrow! It's already late today, my dad must be worried."
Chun Xi also knew it was too late to keep anyone here any longer, so she said, "Then please wait a moment. I'll have Chen Feng drive the carriage to take you back. It will be safer on the way."
Qin Yalan didn't refuse. When Chunxi brought Chen Feng over, she brought her a food box. "This is the braised meat that my family left for me. I know you like it, so I brought it for you."
"Yeah! Chunxi still cares about me, unlike your girl who made me wait for her for a whole day in vain."
Chun Xi smiled and said, "If the girl knew you were waiting for her, she would have come back a long time ago."
It's unfortunate for these two! Chun Xi had just sent Qin Yalan away when Tian An came back a short while later.
She was surprised and delighted to learn that Qin Yalan had been waiting for her at home all day. It turned out that they were both looking for each other! When she saw the pattern Qin Yalan drew, she was extremely happy and immediately asked Mangzhong and the others to make it according to the pattern.
I also heard from a few maids that Qin Yalan suggested that they could burn incense on the velvet flowers.
Incense? Tian An thought for a moment and took out a bottle of perfume from her bag. She picked out a newly made velvet hairpin with a butterfly pattern and sprayed it twice.
Suddenly, the fragrance was overwhelming, and the butterfly on the hairpin fluttered its wings as if it was about to fly, and the hairpin instantly became lively.
Several girls gathered around the bottle in Tian An's hand curiously and asked, "Girl, what is this? It smells so good! It smells even better than incense!"
"This is called perfume, and it's extracted from fresh flowers," Tian An explained.
Dong Qing looked at Tian An with admiration, "You are really amazing, girl! You can even do this."
Dong Yi looked at the perfume bottle with shining eyes and said, "How much silver will this sell for?"
Tian An put the perfume back into his bag and said, "We can't make this in large quantities at the moment, unless we have a whole mountain to plant flowers."
The girls were a little disappointed, but they didn't say anything more. Whatever Tian An said was what they believed.
Tian An picked up the pattern drawn by Qin Yalan and liked it more and more the more he looked at it. It turned out that women understand women better. If Zhao Yiming were to draw it for her, he would definitely not be able to achieve this effect. It would be great if Qin Yalan could draw it for her all the time.
Tian An thought about it and suddenly his eyes lit up, "I got it."
Then she called Chunxi over and wrote a list of ingredients for her. She asked her to buy them early tomorrow so that she could cook a table full of delicious meals for Qin Yalan to win her heart.
