Upcoming novel recommendation: When the Tang Pear Blossoms Bloom Again
[A humble embroiderer x a young master from a marquis's household]
In the third month of spring, the town of Xiuhua in Gusu is especially lively. Aunt Li, the kindhearted owner of the Splendid Embroidery Workshop, takes in a baby girl abandoned at her door.
Tang pear blossoms happen to be in bloom outside, so she names the baby Su Wantang.
*
Su Wantang is no ordinary girl. With just a few words from a customer, she can embroider a portrait of a beauty without looking.
But she's always had one wish: to build the largest embroidery house!
-
Shen Yanqing first meets her when he accidentally dirties one of her embroidery patterns.
Even more amusingly, the young lady takes him for a scholar! Of course, he is indeed the owner of the Qingmo Study.
"The ink has stained this peony, young lady. Now it looks like the withered lotus I painted yesterday."
She flushes with anger. What a delight!
*
By pure coincidence, he has just returned from running an errand when he spots a stunning embroiderer inside the Splendid Embroidery Workshop, her bright eyes shining like stars.
Isn't she the young lady he met last time?
He makes a small effort to help her out of a bind.
And, while he's at it, asks her to mend a sachet.
"What pattern would you like, young master?"
"Just embroider... the first flower to bloom in spring."
She does as he asks, embroidering the first flower to bloom, the tang pear blossom.
But she doesn't know that what he wants is her.
*
It rains heavily again, and this time he hears that the rain has collapsed the loft where the young lady lives.
After much persuasion, he finally manages to coax her into the side room of his study.
"Brother, so you do know that the one who lives closest to the river gets to enjoy the moon first?"
That sounds a little suspicious...
-
Su Wantang visits the Qingmo Study once more, only to find two people standing inside.
And the other one looks a lot like Jing Che!
"Brother, you're really not going back to the Shen residence?"
Su Wantang: ???

Theme: Treat people with sincerity, and everything you do with care
After reading the life of Major General Jiang Shiyan, I feel that there is a sad background, but fortunately he also met very good people (his mother Li, as well as Yinzhi, Hanying, and the eldest princess of Qingping, Ling Qianmo), they are all very good people.
Why don't I fully understand how Ayan became Zhao's biological son? Is it just because the blood is fused? Didn't she know that Zhao gave birth to her own child? Why are you still treating Ayan so badly?
