After dinner, seeing that no one was talking, Su Yu found a topic. Su Yu looked at Qin Wenyan and asked, "Wenyan, how is your Tai Chi practice going?"

Qin Wenyan replied seriously, "Sister Wanwan taught me very well. I can perform the whole set now, but I need more practice to perform it smoothly."

The two of them had just exchanged a few words when Qin Wenyan said, "Brother Su Yu, I have to go back to the study to review my lessons," and then he said goodbye and left.

Su Yu looked at the departing figure. He felt that the child was mature for his age and taciturn, but still very polite. One look at him and you could tell that he was a well-educated nobleman.

Qin Yuehua was afraid that Su Yu would think too much, so she explained, "Wen Yan was not like this before. He may be feeling unwell now, and he is even less talkative."

Su Yu expressed his understanding. It is indeed normal for sick people to find it difficult to be interested in chatting. Su Yu did not think much about it, thinking that it was just a cold or something and would be better after a while.

So that afternoon, Su Wanwan and Qin Yuehua were fiddling with facial cream by the pavilion, while Su Yu was reading a book alone in the pavilion. He read very fast now, and finished reading the several books he took from the library in one hour.

Su Yu planned to take the book home for a few days before returning it. Otherwise, it would not be a good idea to return it tomorrow if he had just taken it today, as it would easily attract attention.

What Su Yu didn't know was that with his learning speed as fast as a sponge absorbing water, he would be treated as an alien anywhere except here with King Ye.

After finishing reading the book, Su Yu saw that his sister was still busy, and he felt bored. After thinking about it, he pretended to take something out of his sleeve, but actually he was taking something out of the space.

He took out a piece of jade and some tools and started carving. This was the stone he bought at the Golden Building last time, specifically for making a private seal, but he didn't know what to name the private seal.

Su Yu thought about it and recalled a line from an ancient poem by Li Bai, "The dangerous building is a hundred feet high, and you can pick the stars with your hands. I dare not speak loudly, for fear of disturbing the people in the sky." So why not just call it "Stars".

This was not the first time that Su Yu had carved these little gadgets. In modern times, he would occasionally carve some small things for himself during his holidays.

Su Yu carefully carved the word "Xingchen" in the Slender Gold style. After thinking about it, he carved a cluster of bamboo leaf patterns next to the word as decoration.

Soon, Su Yu thought to himself, okay, it's almost done, just polish it a little more and it can be used, and Su Yu started to proceed to the next operation.

Outside the pavilion, Su Wanwan's facial cream was also completed. "Wow, finally succeeded. I didn't expect that the facial cream process would be so complicated." Su Wanwan looked at Qin Yuehua admiringly, "Sister Qin, you are really amazing. You know so much. Teach me something else next time."

Qin Yuehua said with a smile, "Just be patient, it's not a problem."

"Hehe, I want to show it to my brother," Su Wanwan couldn't wait to let her brother see the results of her hard work for an entire afternoon.

Su Wanwan looked at the facial cream she had made with her own hands with love. She shouted, "Brother, brother, look..." However, her brother did not respond after she called out several times.

Su Wanwan looked up at the pavilion and saw her brother carving something, looking very focused.

Qin Yuehua also followed Su Wanwan's gaze and saw that Mr. Su, who had a gentle temperament like jade, was polishing something seriously. The sunlight shining on his fair skin and his serious expression made Qin Yuehua look a little dazed.

Su Wanwan didn't notice Qin Yuehua's abnormality. She ran to the pavilion with facial cream in her hand and her skirt lifted up.

Su Wanwan sat opposite Su Yu, opened her peach blossom eyes and asked Su Yu curiously, "Brother, brother, what are you doing?"

Su Yu replied without even raising his head: "Make a private seal."

Su Wanwan looked at the seal on her brother's hand and said, "Brother, can you show it to me?"

Su Yu looked up and smiled at the curious Su Wanwan. Suddenly he wanted to tease the child, so he said: "No, how can you show your private seal to anyone? It has to be kept secret."

Suddenly, Su Wanwan started to act coquettishly and cutely, and she called Su Yu in a delicate voice, "Brother, brother, just let me take a look, just one look."

Su Yu stood up and hid the seal behind him. Su Wanwan wanted to attack him by surprise, but Su Yu switched the seal between his left and right hands, and the two of them started fighting for a while.

Outside the pavilion, Qin Yuehua looked at the two of them with envy, and her maid Tingyu couldn't help but sigh: "Miss Wanwan and Mr. Su have a really good relationship."

Qin Yuehua also said: "Yes."

Brothers and sisters from wealthy families don’t play around happily like this. Generally, a brother is considered a very good brother if he can bring some headwear and food to his sister when he goes out.

On this side, Su Yu was finally entangled and couldn't get any more help. He raised the seal above his head, and Su Wanwan couldn't reach it at all. After all, Su Yu was taller now.

"Brother, hum...Brother doesn't love me anymore," Su Wanwan pouted her cheeks angrily, and put her hands on her hips, not caring about etiquette at all.

Su Yu looked at his angry sister and couldn't help but poke her cheek. He felt that if he continued to tease her, she would cry in front of him.

He pretended to be helpless and said, "Okay, okay, I'll show you," and handed over the seal.

"Hehe", Su Wanwan was very happy when she heard that her brother had surrendered to her. She picked up the seal and looked at it, muttering: "Xingchen? Brother, is this the pen name you gave yourself?"

"Yeah, yes."

Su Wanwan asked Su Yu curiously, "Does the word 'stars' have any deep meaning?"

"Of course," Su Yu thought to himself that this was taken from a famous quote.

At this time, Qin Yuehua also came over with her maid Tingyu. She looked at Su Yu and smiled: "I am also very curious about the deep meaning of this."

Su Yu explained: "It's a poem I heard in an ancient book, and I took two words from it."

After hearing Su Yu's explanation, Qin Yuehua became even more curious, "Mr. Su, could you read it to us?"

Su Yu felt that he had to recite the poem with some vigor, so he walked to the pavilion, looked up at the sky, and began to recite: "The dangerous building is a hundred feet high, and I can pick the stars with my hands. I dare not speak loudly, for fear of disturbing the people in the sky."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was silence all around, and Su Yu turned around and looked at everyone.

Not only her younger sister Su Wanwan, but even Qin Yuehua was stunned at this moment. Su Yu thought, what's wrong with them? In fact, Su Yu couldn't understand the surprise of everyone when they heard this poem for the first time.

After a long time, Qin Yuehua came back to her senses from the mood of the poem. She bowed to Su Yu with admiration, and said after the ceremony: "Mr. Su is very talented. With his poetic talent, sooner or later he will be able to win the imperial examination and be granted a title of nobility or become a prime minister."

Su Yu hurriedly explained, "Miss Qin, I misunderstood. This was not written by me. I saw it in an ancient book."

After Su Yu said this, Qin Yuehua admired the man in front of her even more. She felt that Su Yu had a bad reputation in the past and was hiding his talents. It was rare for someone with such great talent to be so humble.

Qin Yuehua looked at Su Yu with her almond-shaped eyes, "Mr. Su, there is no need to explain. I know it."

After that, Su Yu spent his days being admired, appreciated, and praised by the women. No matter how Su Yu explained, they just felt that he was being modest.

In fact, it is no wonder that Qin Yuehua was so obsessed with believing that the poem was written by Su Yu. She had been reading poetry and books for many years, not to mention how rich Qin Xiang's collection of books was.

Since she hadn't seen it in the book, she would definitely assume that it was written by Su Yu himself, but Su Yu was just a low-key person.

Until Su Yu took Su Wanwan away, Qin Yuehua was still staring at their backs in a daze.

The maid Tingyu saw that the young lady looked absent-minded, so she teased: "Young lady, you can't see anyone anymore."

Qin Yuehua's face turned red with embarrassment after being teased by her. She got angry and turned around and went back to the yard.
