In less than a day, Qin Zijun found a painter, who looked to be in his early 30s and was dressed a little sloppily. After trying a few pictures, he drew quite well.

The painter's arrival attracted the attention of the children. The painter was in a rare good mood and was not annoyed.

He drew many pictures of the children, which made them scream in surprise. The mansion became lively again.

Jiang Yun sat on a chair at one side, playing with a nine-ring chain in her hand, and occasionally accepting food from Jiang Rong, such as dried fish, dried shrimp, almonds, and preserved fruits. Her mouth was never idle for a moment.

When you are thirsty, all kinds of sweet soups and teas will be immediately delivered to your mouth. It's like food is served to you just by opening your mouth.

The painter kept observing everyone's expression and appearance, and added a few strokes from time to time.

When they heard that a family portrait was going to be painted, Mrs. Ling and Mr. Ling also came over. They held Jiang Yun's hand and said a lot of things, implying that they still wanted to be in the painting together.

Jiang Yun smiled and nodded, "It's all up to mother's wishes."

Mr. Ling and his wife were grinning from ear to ear and joined in the fun.

Ling Zhi also followed, but he came to say goodbye, "The new emperor has ascended the throne, so we naturally dare not miss it."

"Take the afternoon boat, go with the prince."

Jiang Yun was a little confused, he didn't know the news outside.

Suddenly she turned around and hugged Ling Yun's waist, feeling a little worried, "Are you going too?"

"No, I'm just holding a sinecure. Xiaoyun, let's go see the prince off."

Jiang Yun smiled and nodded, "Okay, if you go anywhere, you have to take me with you."

"Of course I'll take you with me~"

The two of them stayed close to each other for a while, which gave Ling Zhi goosebumps.

"Okay, both of you, stop being so annoying, okay? Let's go."

We first arrived at the Chen'an Palace, and sure enough, there were several cars filled with boxes and packages, and it was very busy.

The housekeeper first led the person into the house and arranged for the maid to serve tea, and then went in to pass the message.

Jingchen was in the Biluo Courtyard, staring at the blue fat man. There were more than ten almost identical blue fat men on the shelf on one side, which was extremely spectacular.

There are also many small gadgets, similar to those in Jiang Yun’s home.

The housekeeper first found Ye Xiao outside the courtyard, and Ye Xiao went in to report, "Your Majesty, Third Young Master Ling and Young Master Jiang are here to see you off, and are drinking tea in the hall right now."

Jingchen tightly grasped the blue fat man in his hand, put it in his sleeve pocket, and then went out.

As soon as I arrived at the main hall, I saw Jiang Yun and Ling Zhi arguing. Ling Zhi was witty and humorous, and his mind was quick. Jiang Yun was no match for him, but he became more and more courageous and wanted to go forward to continue the fight.

After Jingchen arrived, he talked to a few people. Fortunately, Lingzhi was there, otherwise it would have been a bit awkward.

"Xiao Yun, I want to talk to you alone."

Jiang Yun looked at Ling Yun first, and when she saw him nod, she followed him out. She was a little nervous, not knowing what he was going to say.

After what happened before, no matter how slow Jiang Yun was, she knew what Jingchen was thinking, but she must not confess her feelings, otherwise it would make everyone very embarrassed.

"Here, I've occupied this thing for a long time. It's time to return it to you." Jingchen said as he handed over the blue fat man.

Jiang Yun's eyes were filled with astonishment. "How come this is here, Prince? I thought it was lost."

After taking it, he flipped through it a few times and found that it was indeed his. The words at the bottom were probably written like this by no one else except himself and Xiao Ziyi.

"Xiao Yun, are we still friends?"

Jingchen returned the thing to her, thinking it was let go. After figuring this out, Jiang Yun smiled and nodded heavily, "Of course, always."

"This puppet is different from the ones I saw at the market. Is there any writing or painting underneath?"

Jiang Yun smiled a little embarrassedly, "I carved it myself. It's chubby, isn't it cute?"

"There are words underneath this. When printed, it says Blue Fat Man, the name of this puppet."

Jingchen spread his palm and asked him to make a seal. Ye Xiao came out from the dark and respectfully took out a box of ink.

He lightly dipped some red ink, held Jingchen's hand with his left hand, and printed the three words "Blue Fat Man" on his palm.

Jingchen felt the warm touch on the back of his hand disappear, and looked at the words again, "It is a little different from what we usually write."

Jiang Yun explained it for the nth time and scratched his head awkwardly, "Well, the original characters were a bit difficult to write and had many strokes, so I simplified them."

"Hahahaha." Jingchen laughed heartily and tapped Jiang Yun's nose with his finger, "You."

"Come on, let's go back."

Jiang Yun nodded gloomily. Traditional Chinese characters are difficult to begin with. Humph.

Jingchen was in a good mood until he got on the carriage. Finally, he sent the person away. Jiang Yun was speechless. Was he really that happy?

"Hey, what is my cousin laughing at?" Xiao Ziyi stretched out his hand and poked Jiang Yun's arm.

"Oh my god, Xiao Ziyi, when did you show up?"

"You want to scare me to death, you are so elusive."

Xiao Ziyi put his arm around his shoulders and said, "Why are you so fragile? I just came back from outside and you didn't even give me a warm hug. It really hurts my heart."

"Why are you sad? Come on, let's have hotpot at our house today and I'll take you a portion."

"Really, really, there is still this good stuff, let's go, let's go."

The two of them started walking back arm in arm, Xiao Ziyi snatched the blue fat man from his hand, "Fuck, you're here to see me off, why are you holding this?"

"It's so ugly, tut tut tut."

Jiang Yun snatched it back and chased Xiao Ziyi to beat him up, "I made this myself. Do you know how long it took?"

"If you dare to say ugly, I'll beat you up and you're done for. Don't run away."

The two of them entered the Jiang Mansion while playing and joking, and Ling Yun followed behind, with an expression that was neither good nor bad.

Ah Sheng looked at his master and said at the right time, "That puppet was something that the young master left behind in the palace. It has been returned to its original owner today, so I guess..."

Ling Yun glanced at him and naturally knew what the second half of his sentence meant. It was indeed worth being happy that Jingchen let go of Jiang Yun.

Jiang Rong had already prepared a lot of ingredients at home, including meatballs, fish balls, various meats, vegetables, and soy products. He even thoughtfully made two pots, one spicy and one non-spicy.

Everyone gathered together and had a lively hotpot meal. Seeing that everyone liked it very much, Jiang Yun came up with the idea of ​​opening a Yuelaiju in Yangzhou. As soon as she proposed it, Xiao Ziyi was the first to agree with it and even wanted to invest in it. The matter was settled.

On the ship returning to Beijing, Jingchen stood at the bow, looking at Yangzhou city from afar. He did not return to the cabin until the buildings became smaller and smaller and could no longer be seen.

Ye Xiao stood aside and bowed slightly, "Master, it's getting cold, let's go into the cabin."

Jingchen nodded, but did not move his feet. He spread out his right hand, looked at the words on his palm, and couldn't help but smile.

Then he took out another puppet from his sleeve. Even though Ye Xiao had seen many big scenes, he was still a little surprised.

No, no, didn’t I just return it? Where did this come from? Is this a fake? Or...

Thinking of the room full of puppets, Ye Xiao didn't dare to think about it anymore, nor did he dare to look at them anymore. He quietly moved his body, turned his head away, and pretended not to see it.

"Let's go into the cabin."
