After giving Beitang Yan a glass jar of candy, Qin Suiyou, who was closing his eyes to prepare for his afternoon nap, wondered: Was I a little impulsive? Why did I tell Beitang Yan about having a spatial ability so easily?

However... Beitang Yan's reaction afterward did not disappoint him. He was still not quite right in the head, yet he was thinking of protecting him. It was quite cute.

As Qin Suiyou thought this, Beitang Yan carefully held the jar of colorful candies, examining it closely with sparkling eyes.

Even though Qin Suiyou said he wasn't a god, Beitang Yan, seeing him conjure a jar of candy out of thin air without any other explanation, thought to himself: "My wife must be a god. He asked me to keep it a secret because everyone else will have to go back to heaven after they find out he's a god. But my wife loves me and doesn't want to go back. I must love my wife well and make her the happiest person, and not let her down..."

...In the past few days, everyone in the Wutong Courtyard has heard that the young master gave the heir a very beautiful jar of candy, which is said to be very delicious. As for why I use "said to be", it's because the heir is a stingy person. He cherishes the candy given by his wife, only eating one piece before closing the jar. He only takes it out occasionally to show it off and doesn't let anyone touch it.

Qin Suiyou couldn't stand it anymore, so he ordered Beitang Yan to eat the candies whenever he wanted. He would give him more when he ran out, since the candies were handmade. They looked bright and fresh, but they were all dyed with natural fruits and no weird additives. They didn't have a long shelf life, and the weather was getting hotter. The candies would melt if left for too long, and then they would all be wasted.

After Qin Suiyou said that, Beitang Yan finally sped up his eating of the candy. Moreover, the glass jar containing the candy was smaller than the usual medicine pot used for decocting medicine, and Qin Suiyou filled it to the brim. Beitang Yan couldn't finish it all by himself in a short time. Helplessly, in order not to waste his wife's good intentions, Beitang Yan still shared some with her.

When Beitang Xinyue received the candy, she saw her brother's pained expression and couldn't help but ask, "I remember you didn't like sweets before."

Princess An, who had already put the candy in her mouth, said, "That was in the past. I didn't expect your brother to be so dense before, but now he's quite enlightened."

After figuring out what was going on, Beitang Xinyue nodded in agreement, then looked at the candy in her hand, only to find her gaze immediately drawn to it.

"Sister-in-law, the wrapper around this candy is so pretty!"

Upon hearing this, Princess An looked at Prince An beside her. It was Prince An who had peeled the candy for her just now, and she hadn't even noticed what the candy wrapper looked like.

Prince An picked up the candy wrapper from the table and handed it to his wife, also glancing at it. The material of the candy wrapper seemed quite special.

Princess An took it and exclaimed in surprise as soon as she got her hands on it.

"It's really beautiful. The pattern would look amazing if it were displayed."

As Beitang Xinyue unwrapped the candy and ate it, she looked at the unfolded candy wrapper in her hand and liked it more and more.

Hearing the mother and daughter say this, Qin Suiyou, who hadn't paid much attention before, took a candy from Beitang Yan's hand. Since it was him who took it, Beitang Yan didn't hesitate and was very happy to give it to him.

After taking out the candy and eating it, Qin Suiyou looked at it. The candy wrappers were printed with colorful flowers of various colors. They were semi-transparent and had a thin layer of shiny glitter on the outside, which was also different colors. If he remembered correctly, the flowers printed on the candy wrappers were similar, but the colors were different. Each color corresponded to a different flavor of candy.

Seeing that Princess An and Beitang Xinyue liked it so much, Qin Suiyou said, "People in my hometown collect the candies with pretty wrappers after they finish eating them. Those with good hands-on skills will reuse them to make some exquisite little ornaments. Mother and Xinyue can try it in their spare time."

"Really? Then I'll have to give it a try, but what can I do?"

Beitang Xinyue raised her hand, and under the sunlight, the glitter and special material made the candy wrapper even more dazzling.

Beitang Xinyue was pondering what she could do, while Princess An was more interested in the flowers above.

"Suiyou, what are these flowers called? I don't think I've ever seen them before."

Qin Suiyou glanced at the candy wrapper in Princess An's hand, and after confirming that the pattern was the same, he replied, "It's tulips and roses. Actually, it's just turmeric and sage. However, when making the print, the colors were not entirely based on the actual colors, and the lines were simplified a bit."

Princess An understood and nodded with a light smile.

"I see. No wonder it smells floral. Does the sugar contain flowers?"

"That's right, but tulips are only suitable for use, just using their flower shape. But there are rose-flavored candies, and I remember there are also cherry blossom-flavored ones, which are also called 'thorn peach'. The rest are basically all kinds of fruit flavors."

Upon hearing this, Princess An said gently, "The taste is good, the packaging is beautiful, and the color scheme is very suitable, fresh and not tacky. It's just a pity to use it for candy packaging. I'll look for fabrics in these colors another day and make a few sets of summer clothes for you all. Such fresh colors are sure to be suitable for summer."

Qin Suiyou's lips curled up slightly, and with a hint of slyness in his eyes, he gestured for Princess An to look at what Beitang Yan was holding.

"The candy I gave him was a mix of different flavors. He also had many different flavors with different packaging. If you would like to see more different color combinations, you can ask him if he would give you any more."

Seeing Qin Suiyou's attitude, Princess An said helplessly, "Wasn't that given to me by you? Do you want me to go to that boy and get rejected?"

Qin Suiyou: "I don't have much left either. I promised to give him more when he runs out of his jar."

Afterwards, Princess An did ask Beitang Yan. Upon seeing that it was her mother, she hesitated for a while, but still picked out a few with different packaging and gave them to him. The way she picked and chose made Princess An shake her head.

Back at the Wutong Courtyard, Beitang Yan looked at the glass jar, which was less than a quarter full of candy, and eagerly lifted it in front of Qin Suiyou.

Qin Suiyou smiled slightly and then said, "I'll give it to you after you finish eating. Let's make the paint first."

"pigment?"

"As for the oil paints, I mentioned before that I would teach you a new painting technique. The raw materials are all ready, so you can start now."

Because he wanted to make more, he prepared a lot of things, so Qin Suiyou asked Gao Yu to clear out a room to use as a laboratory.

Upon entering the laboratory, Gao Yu, Du Heng, and Jin Zhu had already put on aprons. Gao Yu was curiously examining most of the tools and equipment he had never seen before, Du Heng was grinding pigment powder, and Jin Zhu was placing the ground pigment powder onto a glass plate with linseed oil in one hand and stirring it continuously with a small scraper in the other.

He handed an apron to Beitang Yan, and Qin Suiyou glanced at the sugar jar in his hand, saying, "Leave it for now."

After placing the sugar jar inside a cabinet where it wouldn't fall, Beitang Yan examined the apron in his hand and asked, "Are we making a lot?"

Qin Suiyou wasn't wearing an apron. He walked over to Jinzhu, looking at the mixed paint as he replied, "It's not a lot, but we can sell the extras in the shop later. After all, it's a new product, so we need to see if the market will accept it."

Beitang Yan stepped forward, picked up a glass plate, tapped it, and asked, "What do I need to do?"

Du Heng looked up excitedly and said, "Let's grind the pigment powder!"

This job isn't too difficult. They use colorants that have been extracted from minerals or plants beforehand, and then made into blocks for easy storage. The hardness and other properties are relatively low. However, to make the finished product more delicate, it requires a lot of patience. He was almost questioning his life choices.

After glancing at Qin Suiyou and seeing him nod, Beitang Yan asked, "How do we do it?"

After following Du Heng's steps for a while, Beitang Yan stood up with a serious expression.

"I'll go find some more people."
