On the morning of the day after Feng Qiyan's wedding (the ninth day of the sixth lunar month), the sun had just risen and the soft morning light fell on the Hibiscus Courtyard, creating a warm and charming atmosphere.
The new husbands, Shan Zuo and Shan You, had already woken up. With the help of the servants, they quickly washed up, took a bath, and then changed into new clothes.
When everything was ready, the two of them, along with Feng Qiyan, went to the ancestral hall and kowtowed before the ancestral tablets, expressing their respect and gratitude for their ancestors. Then, the three of them went to Qingrong Courtyard to pay their respects to General Feng and Mr. Mu.
Yu Jingyang was sympathetic to the fact that Shan Zuo, Shan You, and Feng Qiyan were newlyweds and needed some time to adjust to married life. Therefore, he didn't require them to strictly follow the elaborate etiquette, nor did he specifically arrange for them to go to Yaoguang Courtyard for tea. Instead, he performed all the ceremonies directly at Qingrong Courtyard. This not only reduced the travel burden for the newlyweds, but also allowed them to spend more time together.
After Feng Lingyan finished drinking the tea offered by his nephews and nieces, he smiled and nodded, then stood up and returned to Yueting Nanshe where he lived next door.
“Master!”
Feng Lingyan had just stepped into the study of Yueting Nanshe. Hua Qingguo, who had been waiting inside for a long time, immediately stood up from the seat in front of the desk when she saw him come back, and bowed to him respectfully.
"There's no need to be so polite in your own home." Feng Lingyan smiled slightly and gently raised her hand to stroke Hua Qingguo's head.
Hua Qingguo had been Feng Lingyan's apprentice since she was three years old, and four years had passed in the blink of an eye. During these four years, Feng Lingyan had been teaching Hua Qingguo with all her heart and soul. Hua Qingguo lived up to everyone's expectations, and with her extraordinary talent and hard work, she became a remarkable supernatural being.
Now, at the age of seven, Hua Qingguo not only has beautiful handwriting, but also has shown amazing talent in writing poetry and lyrics. In addition, he excels in the art of playing the zither, chess, and painting, and his painting is particularly amazing.
Even Feng Lingyan couldn't help but feel that this disciple already had some of the style of Meng Lishi back then in some aspects.
Feng Lingyan slowly walked to the desk and carefully looked at a painting that Hua Qingguo had just completed - "Family Portrait".
This painting vividly depicted the happy life of Hua Qingcheng's family. Every character was vivid and lifelike. Feng Lingyan couldn't help but stare at it, mesmerized by Hua Qingcheng's painting skills.
In the painting, Hua Qingcheng, her seven husbands, and children are all in the courtyard of Huazhai Village. They all have smiles on their faces and enjoy the quiet country life. The picture is warm and peaceful.
Hua Qingcheng sat on a stone bench. Her seven husbands were either sitting next to her or standing behind her. Some were holding buns, some were holding folding fans, some were stroking the strings of a musical instrument, and some were whispering to her. Everyone had a happy smile on their face.
The children surrounded their mother and father, some were catching insects, some were chasing butterflies, and some were chasing and playing, innocent and full of energy.
Hua Qingcheng was holding a child in her arms and a rattle in her hand, shaking it gently, making the child laugh so hard that his teeth were showing.
Mu Lige and Hua Qingcheng sat side by side, his eyes falling on her gently, as if she was the only one in the world.
Hua Rongsheng, Ye Maochun and Feng Lingyan were also painted in it, and the three of them were talking happily.
Hua Qingguo snuggled in Ye Maochun's arms, staring at Hua Qingcheng and Mu Lige, or perhaps at the child being teased by the two.
The whole painting is colorful, with delicate brushstrokes and lifelike characters, making people feel the warmth and happiness of family.
Looking at this painting, Feng Lingyan seemed to be able to hear the children's laughter, smell the fragrance of flowers, and feel the cool breeze on her face.
The painting conveys a peaceful and harmonious atmosphere, which makes people unable to help but immerse themselves in it and feel this beautiful pastoral life.
"Qingguo, I believe that in the near future, you will be famous throughout the world and become a great talent. Your achievements will surpass mine and your uncle Meng's." Feng Lingyan patted Hua Qingguo's shoulder and said with a look of satisfaction.
Hearing Feng Lingyan's praise, Hua Qingguo's fair little face couldn't help but blush slightly.
You know, Feng Lingyan was only in his teens back then but he was already as famous as Meng Lishi, becoming one of the two most talented people known to everyone in Laifeng Country. There is no doubt about his high talent.
However, Hua Qingguo was different. In his previous life, Bai Yuheng had been a painting instructor at the Imperial Academy, possessing profound painting skills and artistic accomplishments. Now, he had been reborn with nearly twenty-one years of memories from his previous life, allowing him to display astonishing talent. However, it had to be acknowledged that his success was largely due to his past life's accumulation and the meticulous guidance of Feng Lingyan in this life.
It can be said that his starting point is already a height that many people cannot reach in their entire lives.
Thinking of this, Hua Qingguo couldn't help but feel emotional, and at the same time, he also felt the weight of his responsibility. He knew that only by continuous efforts could he live up to Feng Lingyan's expectations.
He then bowed respectfully to Feng Lingyan and said earnestly, "My achievements today are entirely due to your kind guidance and cultivation. I will doubly cherish this opportunity, work harder, and live up to your high expectations."
Feng Lingyan was delighted to see this humble, courteous, and unpretentious disciple. He smiled and nodded, his eyes full of admiration.
Feng Lingyan is full of expectations for Hua Qingguo, her favorite student, and believes that he will become a shining pearl in the future and attract the attention of the world.
