"No!" Before Cai Lian and Gu Shouxin could answer, Gu Xin objected, her voice quite loud.
The three time travelers all looked at Gu Xin, wondering why she was reacting so strongly.
"I don't want to stay in a place without my parents for a long time, at most three. I need to see my parents and sister, otherwise I won't be able to sleep," Gu Xin said in a pitiful voice, her eyes pleading.
The original owner, Gu Shouxin, used to often not come home, but Gu Xin didn't do that back then.
She herself didn't know when it started, but she became very unwilling to leave her parents and sister.
She was always afraid, afraid of losing her parents and sister.
Sometimes, you might not think too much about something you've never had, but once you have it, you'll be afraid of suddenly losing it, which is hard to accept.
"Hahaha, our Xinxin is still a girl, she hasn't grown up yet! Why is she so inseparable from her parents?" Gu Shouxin laughed, and then said, "How about this, you go and stay for a couple of days first, and ask the ladies of the Meng family what they think. If they are willing to stay here, that would be even better. If not, then we will pay them more wages for each trip back and forth."
"Give them more wages, give them more wages. Dad, let's give them more wages. If they come and live with us, we won't be able to grow flowers properly. They won't grow overnight!" Gu Xin said quickly.
“Yes, Xinxin is right, pay them more! After training them well and observing them for a while, we can let them go back to the estate and open a workshop. When Xinxin’s estate is settled and Niannian’s estate is harvested, we can plant flowers everywhere,” Cai Lian said with a smile.
"My estate?" Gu Xin was taken aback.
“Yes, your estate, we’ve got it sorted out. We’ll buy it for your older sister first, then for Xinxin. I’ve partnered with your Aunt Luo on a project, and we can earn quite a bit each month! Once we have enough money, we’ll go buy it for Xinxin right away,” Cai Lian said with a smile.
"Mom, what projects did you work on with Aunt Luo? Besides the one where the Li family gave you money, were there any others?" Gu Nian asked.
“The Li family has an embroidery shop and a cave dwelling. Your Aunt Luo suggested that they buy flower patterns and designs for porcelain from me. So I tried painting them. Now that your Aunt Luo is here, the Li family has unanimously agreed to a commission agreement: if their products use my designs, I'll get 10% of the profit. Your father even sold two paintings through the Li family, earning a thousand taels. So, you two don't need to work too hard; our family isn't short of money,” Cai Lian said with a smile.
Gu Shouxin sometimes painted and inscribed calligraphy at home when he had nothing to do, and these paintings hung in their study. Whenever Madam Li came to discuss serious matters with Cai Lian, she would see the paintings in the study and be very satisfied. She would then ask Gu Shouxin if he would be willing to sell them, as she knew an elderly man who loved calligraphy and painting who was about to celebrate his birthday, and she wanted to buy two of his works.

Cai Lian gave the painting to Gu Shouxin. Gu Shouxin didn't think there was anything wrong with selling paintings. He specially painted two paintings, one for a birthday celebration and the other a landscape painting. Madam Li happily bought them, framed them, and planned to use them to celebrate the birthday.
"Wow! Dad, you're so amazing!" Gu Xin looked at Gu Shouxin with admiration after hearing Cai Lian's explanation.
"Wow! Dad, you're so amazing!" Gu Nian imitated Gu Xin.
"Hahahaha... Do you two sisters want to learn? I'll teach you! Once Madam Meng has mastered it, I'll teach you to play the zither and paint." Gu Shouxin laughed heartily, then asked.
