Upon hearing Yongqi and the others' words, Benjamin realized that he had been lost in thought for quite some time.
The word "gift" lingered in his mouth for a moment. He subconsciously glanced at the people still drawing in the back, then at the gifts hanging high above, and then at the few people who had come out to participate in the competition.
Then, they nodded. They were sure to give the gifts to their sweethearts. Several girls received one, and it wouldn't be good if Cailian didn't.
...
The scene was intense, but none of them were weak in martial arts, and they eventually succeeded in getting the gift.
As Chen Nian watched the scene of several people sliding down the rope, he felt inexplicably familiar with it and searched his memory.
Before he could think it through, Cailian nudged him from beside him.
"Teacher, don't you think this scene looks a lot like that flying dance that someone did, except instead of a beautiful woman, it's a handsome man?"
After Cailian finished painting, she looked up and saw Chen Nian looking thoughtful. Considering the surrounding environment and her years of understanding of Chen Nian, she could easily guess what he was thinking.
Seeing that the person couldn't figure it out for a long time and hesitated again and again, she finally spoke up to give a hint.
"ha--"
After Cailian said that, Chen Nian understood. Looking at the people flying down from the sky, he couldn't help but laugh.
"What are you laughing at?"
Hearing laughter coming from beside her, Qing'er asked curiously.
"Qing'er, look, a handsome flying man."
Seeing Qing'er's curiosity, Chen Nian pointed to the person still in the air and said four words.
"Hahaha--"
Shen Nian didn't deliberately lower his voice, but it wasn't loud either. The emperor, who loved watching the show, saw the two of them huddled together and assumed there was something interesting going on. He then quietly turned his head and overheard Shen Nian's words, and couldn't help but laugh out loud.
...
Seeing the people around her talking to Qing'er and Xiao Yanzi, Cailian reopened her sketchbook, preparing to make some notes, when a gust of wind blew by.
The sketchbook in my hand fluttered in the wind, then the wind stopped.
Cailian looked at the various scenes of Chen Nian recorded in the sketchbook, her eyes softening, and she couldn't help but reach out and stroke them.
"Lotus Picker, what are you looking at?"
When Benjamin returned with the gifts, he saw Cailian in this state.
"Benjamin, can I draw one of these?"
Pulled back to reality by the sound, Cailian asked.
These are all times when she was no longer involved in her life.
Fortunately, she wasn't involved in her time this time and wasn't bullied.
Otherwise, she would do anything to bring her back.
If she goes back, she can still watch over her, protect her, and take care of her. But in this world, she is just a helpless orphan who can't offer her much help.
She didn't have much time here, and she wasn't sure if she could provide her with a life of security in a short period of time.
It's impossible for her to become an official; she's a woman and can't do that. Relying on her family background won't help either, as she's an orphan and doesn't have a good family background. Even if she did, it certainly wouldn't be as good as Niannian's, so that's out of the question too.
There's only one path she can take: going into business.
Although the social hierarchy is scholar, farmer, artisan, merchant, and merchant, with merchants at the bottom, there's a saying that goes, "Money isn't everything, but you can't do anything without it."
Money makes the world go round; as long as she earns enough, she can be her support.
As a woman from a family with a long history of all-around talents, she is surrounded by businessmen, so business skills are essential. Otherwise, she would be devoured without even a trace, or sold out without even realizing it.
