Unable to contact Ye Huixian, Yan Xiaonan had to take matters into her own hands. She took out sample images from the studios she had worked at in her previous life, but she was never satisfied with any of them. They were luxurious, but they lacked a certain charm.
She could only take the blueprints to Fu Qingping and ask her to give her a comprehensive review. Fu Qingping was now able to hold a pen again, and since Yan Xiaonan returned, he had been frequently channeling the energy of the mountain god into her, which had greatly improved her paralysis on one side.
At least she can eat by herself, go to the toilet by herself, and sometimes she can even take a few steps with Ye Chenming's help. Ye Ren is very confident that as long as Nan Nan is there, his wife will eventually recover. Didn't you see that Yan's sister-in-law's newly grown hair is already black?
Yan Xiaonan was also very confident. She could clearly feel that Fu Qingping's collapsed central nervous system was slowly recovering, but the speed was extremely slow, and it was impossible to detect without careful observation.
Fu Qingping looked at the blueprints and carefully considered them. Her mind was like a movie, with fragments appearing one after another, but she filtered them all out until she remembered a picture of a Manchu princess's costume that she had seen when she was a child, and she made up her mind.
With a slight tremor in his right hand, he picked up the pencil and began to sketch on a piece of white paper. The lines were crooked and twisted, but the image of the Manchu princess slowly appeared on the paper.
"Nan Nan, I don't know if we can still find this information. If we can, have your mother make a set, embroider it, and hang it in the finished product room."
Yan Xiaonan was speechless when she saw it. These were the costumes from the TV series "Empresses in the Palace" that she watched in her previous life. What's so great about this? It's even hanging in the finished product room. However, handmade embroidery does have some appeal.
She entered her online space, turned on her computer, and started searching for costumes from the TV series "Empresses in the Palace." The only representative costumes she found were those of the Empress and Zhen Huan. After thinking for a moment, she downloaded Zhen Huan's costumes instead.
Using a printer, she printed out all the clothing designs, and then slowly traced them with colored pencils. She couldn't just show Fu Qingping a copy of the paper; that would scare him to death.
It took two days to depict five sets of clothing, ranging from pure and simple clothes to charming and bright ones, from luxurious palace attire to casual Manchu clothing, and finally, a painting of the Empress Dowager's attire.
Fu Qingping stared at the five pictures in her hand, her mouth agape in astonishment. These pictures were clearly much more detailed and vibrant than the ones she had seen when she was a child. Nan Nan's abilities were truly remarkable.
"Nan Nan, this... ..."
"Nan Nan, Hui Xian is looking for you." Cui Hua's voice promptly eased Yan Xiao Nan's embarrassment, and she ran into the central courtyard as if fleeing.
"Aunt Ye, how did you know I was looking for you?" Yan Xiaonan asked as soon as she picked up the phone.
Ye Huixian was a little confused: "Nannan, have you been looking for me? Is there something you need?"
"Ah, you go first." Yan Xiaonan quickly told Ye Huixian to speak first, knowing that the call must be urgent.
"Nan Nan, you need to go to Shanghai as soon as possible. The wholesale market here is probably going to be demolished. Go and find out the situation first. I'll come over as soon as I've taken care of things here," Ye Huixian said quickly.
This is really good news! Her garment factory already has a backlog of clothes, and if the wholesale market can be relocated, she will choose an independent shop to do wholesale.
Ye Ren was somewhat tempted. He hadn't been back to Shanghai for many years, but he wasn't an ordinary person. Returning to Shanghai would require an application, and security measures would also need to be taken into account, which would indeed be quite troublesome.
Although Fu Qingping has improved, he still has difficulty moving around, and going to Shanghai would indeed add to the trouble.
Ye Ren sat in the rocking chair and sighed deeply. He hoped that when he was too old to walk, he could return to his hometown, take one last look at the sycamore tree in his yard, and eat a bite of the rice cake unique to Shanghai.
Fu Qingping knew exactly what her husband was thinking, and wheeled herself closer, saying, "Old Ye, let's wait a little longer. Let's go back when our grandchildren are grown up and when I can stand up again."
Ye Ren grabbed Fu Qingping's hand and squeezed it tightly, everything was understood without words.
That evening, Ye Chenming returned home and could clearly sense a joyful atmosphere in the air. He rolled his eyes and focused on Cuihua: "Mom, is something good happening at home?"
Cuihua's eyes widened: "Chenming, are you a rat? You can even smell this."
Ye Chenming smiled: "Mom, your face is like a mirror, your happiness and unhappiness are so obvious."
Cuihua laughed. Indeed, she just couldn't hide her emotions. She was over fifty years old and would never change in this lifetime.
“Your aunt called today and said that some place in Shanghai is going to be demolished. I remember Nan Nan bought a lot of houses last time.”
Ye Chenming smiled. He knew he had listened to Nan Nan. She said this investment would definitely not lose money and would make a lot of money. It really came true.
"Nan Nan, when are you going? I'll ask for leave."
"Next month, I just called your uncle and he said the demolition is just beginning. The demolition office is verifying the materials. Your uncle has already submitted all our materials. I also have some other things to do here."
Ye Chenming nodded. Demolition is no small matter, and there can be some disputes. Anyway, with Uncle Huiguo there, going later won't be a problem. The main issue is his own situation. Taking leave isn't so easy. He has to complete his task as quickly as possible.
The young couple got busy. Nan Nan was working with Fu Qingping to finalize the interior design plans for the courtyard house, while Ye Chenming was busy with his research project. This guy hadn't been home for a week.
The two little ones were unhappy, especially Xiaoyushu, who kept calling for her father all day long, but he never came back, and she was almost in tears.
Cuihua felt heartbroken. Such a lovely little darling was always teary-eyed, and it was heartbreaking to see. Ye Ren couldn't bear it either, so he made a phone call: "If you don't come back soon, your little princess will turn into a crybaby."
Ye Chenming's heart clenched with pain. Without thinking twice, he organized the documents, locked the door, and left, speeding up his car to 60 miles per hour as he rushed home.
But the reality was both funny and sad. When Xiao Yushu saw Ye Chenming with his unshaven beard and wrinkled clothes, she actually took several steps back and hid in Cuihua's arms in fright, saying, "The bad guy is here, Grandma, the bad guy is here!"
Cuihua "..."
Ye Chenming: "..."
Seeing Ye Chenming's incredulous gaze, Ye Ren covered his mouth with his hand, trying hard to suppress his laughter. When he couldn't hold it in any longer, he could only pretend to cough.
"Grandpa, you can laugh all you want. I just didn't shave. Little darling, wait for Daddy in a bit, okay?" Ye Chenming said with a smile.
