Beijing Colors Lingering

The next day, Shen Jinsui woke up naturally, got up and tidied herself up, and then took a car back to the Cheng family's old house.

Since returning to China, Shen Jinsui has made time to visit the old house every week to have meals and chat with her grandparents.

The Cheng family manor is located in the eastern suburbs of Beijing. It is a huge private estate with the overall architecture modeled after royal garden mansions.

When the white Rolls-Royce arrived at the entrance of the old mansion, the gatekeeper looked at the vehicle, made sure he saw the license plate number, and quickly stepped forward to greet the person in the back seat with a proper bow: "Second Miss".

Immediately afterwards, the AI ​​recognition system at the entrance accurately identified the license plate number and automatically opened the first gate, allowing the car to start and drive inside.

A little while later, the car drove through a lush garden.

Shen Jinsui sat in the back seat of the car, casually looking out the window. Artificial hills, flowing water, arched bridges, and ponds flashed past her eyes.

Then, the second gate of the estate opened, and the white Rolls-Royce drove past a huge artificial lake and lawn.

Next, the car passed through the third gate, went around a huge artificial fountain, and finally stopped in front of the magnificent main building.

Upon seeing this, the maid standing at the door immediately stepped forward and opened the back door of the car.

After Shen Jinsui got out of the car, Uncle Zhang drove the car to the parking lot.

As soon as Shen Jinsui entered the lobby on the first floor, she saw her grandmother, Kang Yiqi, walking towards her.

Grandma wore a light-colored cheongsam, her eyes were gentle, and her temperament was noble and elegant. Time has not diminished her beauty.

Kang Yiqi looked at her beloved granddaughter with a loving expression and happily called her name: "Sui Sui".

Shen Jinsui stepped forward, took her grandmother's arm, and said in a light and cheerful voice, "Grandma."

At this moment, Shen Jinsui's grandfather, Cheng Su, came downstairs and said, "Sui Sui, it's been a while since we've seen you."

Shen Jinsui looked at her grandfather and smiled brightly, "Grandpa, I was back last week."

Cheng Su muttered, "You should just stay in the old house. Anyway, you have a driver to pick you up and drop you off at get off work. There's no need for you to live separately."

After saying that, he sighed softly.

The eldest son and daughter-in-law are always traveling, and the eldest grandson used to be busy with his studies, but now he is fully committed to his work, so he rarely comes back.

The youngest son was transferred to a new position in Shanghai last year, and his wife also left Beijing with him. The second son's grandson stays in the military year-round, and they only see each other a few times a year.

Therefore, nowadays, only he and his wife live permanently in the huge Cheng family old house.

Knowing that her grandparents felt a bit lonely living in the old house, Shen Jinsui patiently said, "Grandpa, I will come back to see you every week."

Kang Yiqi glared at Cheng Su and retorted irritably, "Sui Sui has her own plans and private life, don't interfere with her decisions."

She knew her beloved granddaughter wanted to live independently, and she also knew that young people nowadays like a free life, so she supported her granddaughter's decision.

After hearing his wife's words, Cheng Su dared not mention the idea of ​​sending his granddaughter back to the old house again.

Shen Jinsui quickly spoke up to ease the atmosphere: "Grandpa and Grandma, let's go sit down first. Anyway, I go back to the old house every week."

Kang Yiqi patted her granddaughter's hand and said softly, "Sui Sui, you don't need to come back here every week. You can come when you have time. You can rest well on the weekend or go out with your friends."

She knew her granddaughter had her own work and career plans and didn't want to interfere with her rest time and social circle.

Shen Jinsui could roughly guess her grandmother's concerns and said to her, "Grandma, my job is relatively easy and won't affect anything."

Kang Yiqi insisted on her suggestion, "No, you should listen to Grandma."

Cheng Su echoed his wife's words, "Sui Sui, you should listen to your grandmother."

Shen Jinsui nodded helplessly and agreed: "Alright then."

Anyway, she will still try to go back to the old house once a week.

The three then walked forward and sat down on the sofa.

Immediately afterwards, the servants brought out tea and snacks.

Cheng Su picked up his teacup, took a sip, and casually asked, "Sui Sui, do you have a boyfriend now?"

Shen Jinsui shook her head and replied, "Not yet."

Cheng Su nodded and slowly said, "Dating should be left to happen naturally."

After he finished speaking, he suddenly thought of a younger person.

Whether considering family background, or in terms of ability and appearance, the younger man was a perfect match for his beloved granddaughter.

He is currently the man he considers most suitable for his granddaughter, the only drawback being that he is several years older than her.

Cheng Su pondered to himself and decided to arrange for the two families to meet in a while so that they could get to know each other and become friends.

If Sui Sui has feelings for that younger man and is willing to follow his arrangements, then they can get engaged first and then start dating.

However, all of this must be based on the wishes of his beloved granddaughter.

If Sui Sui doesn't have a good impression of that younger person, then the matter should be dropped.

Thinking this, Cheng Su smiled and decided to start making arrangements for this matter after some time.

Unaware of her grandfather's thoughts, Shen Jinsui picked up her teacup and took a few sips of the rich tea.

Kang Yiqi was unaware of her husband's plans and subtly gestured to the maid beside her.

Soon, one servant brought in an exquisite rectangular sandalwood box, while another servant carried an elegant and delicate sandalwood box.

Immediately afterwards, two servants took out the items from inside and showed them to them.

Shen Jinsui looked up and saw a long, slanted-front cheongsam in willow green Suzhou embroidery, along with a complete set of emerald jewelry.

Shen Jinsui looked at her grandmother and asked, "Grandma, why did you give me a gift again?"

When she returned to her old home last month, her grandmother gave her a cheongsam and a set of glass-type jadeite jewelry.

Kang Yiqi smiled and explained to her, "I gave it to you last time, but this time it was your grandfather who gave it to you."

Shen Jinsui looked at her grandfather and said with a smile, "Thank you, Grandpa, I like it very much."

Hearing his beloved granddaughter's words, Cheng Su nodded with great pride.

After lunch, Shen Jinsui returned to her bedroom.

-

At that moment, major brands delivered their latest clothing, bags, and accessories.

Shen Jinsui has a huge walk-in closet in the old house, and she returns to the old house every now and then, so she still asks them to send the things to the old house first.

After she returned to the old house, she selected some items and had them delivered to Yujingyuan.

Shen Jinsui glanced through the delivered items, selected two-thirds of them, and then ordered them to be sent to Yujing Garden immediately.

In the afternoon, Shen Jinsui noticed that it was a cloudy day, so she applied sunscreen, changed into riding clothes, and went to the open-air horse farm behind the old house.

Behind the horse farm is a Ferris wheel, which was a birthday gift from Shen Jinsui's grandfather when she turned ten.

Upon seeing Shen Jinsui approach, the servants immediately led a white Arabian horse out of the stables.

This horse is named Yori. It has a perfectly curved neck and long, strong limbs.

It was slowly walking outside, its posture elegant, upright, and proud.

Yori is a horse that belongs exclusively to Shen Jinsui; it was a birthday gift her father gave her.

When Yori saw Shen Jinsui, its steps became light and agile, and it shook its head at its owner.

Shen Jinsui slowly raised her hand, and Yori quickly lowered her head to her.

She gently patted Yori's head, then stepped into the stirrups and mounted the horse.

Shen Jinsui gripped the reins with both hands, straightened his back, relaxed his shoulders, looked up ahead, let his legs hang naturally, and gently squeezed the horse's belly to guide it forward.

She held the reins and strolled slowly around the riding arena.

Then, Shen Jinsui pulled on the reins and began to speed up, and the crisp, loud sound of hooves rang out.

After running a few laps, Shen Jinsui pulled on the reins, guiding the horse to slow down.

A moment later, Shen Jinsui dismounted nimbly from his horse.

She took off her riding helmet and gloves and handed them to the person next to her, then took the towel from the servant and wiped the sweat from her forehead.

A moment later, Shen Jinsui took the carrots and apples handed to her by the maid and fed them to Yori in turn.

After Yori finished eating, Shen Jinsui patted its head and then left the horse farm.

-

The next day, Shen Jinsui stayed at the Cheng family's old house as usual.

In the afternoon, Shen Jinsui stayed in her bedroom.

She sat in an ergonomic chair with her iPad and Apple Pencil, opened the software, and began drawing the latest content of "Entering the Dream".

The first season of the comic "Entering the Dream" is about to end, and Shen Jinsui doesn't want to be too busy at work later, and she also doesn't want to affect the comic's serialization schedule.

Therefore, whenever she has free time these days, she will draw a first draft.

The third day, Saturday.

After having lunch with her grandparents, Shen Jinsui accompanied them for a stroll and chat in the garden next to the main building.

After a while, the maid came over, bowed to them, and then announced, "Master, Madam, Miss Sun, Mr. Ji Yan has arrived."
