Chapter 459 Like You
The construction of Tianyuan Residence was stopped during the Chinese New Year, and now it has been restarted. It will be completed in the spring. Qi Ningan stood outside and looked at it. He didn't know if it was his illusion, but he always felt that since he listened to Master Daoqing, he had buried what should be buried and placed what should be placed. Since then, he always felt that the gloomy temperament of Huguang Residence had dissipated.
The emperor has even built a golden Buddha statue, which will be shipped here soon.
Everything is going on in an orderly manner.
Qi Tao has also learned a lot these days. During the days when the royal gardens were open, she followed her master to set up a stall there. It seems that she has gained a lot of followers, who think that what she makes is not stereotyped but full of personality.
It won’t be long before Qitao will be able to make good pottery.
A few days ago, Qi Tao joked that at first he always thought the name sounded like "begging", but later he understood the young lady's intentions.
"Seven" is the young lady's favorite number, and "Tao" means that she has found what she wants to do for the rest of her life, so the two words are connected together, and she never wants to be separated from the young lady.
This made Qi Ning'an laugh out loud. At that time, he just thought that he wanted to open a restaurant, which would have some pots, pans, and utensils, so he named the restaurant "Tao". "Seven" is indeed Qi Ning'an's favorite number.
It was quite a coincidence.
……
When Qi Ningan returned to the restaurant, Gu Qingyun had been waiting there for a long time.
"That... An An... I went home today to tell my grandparents, my father and my mother, and everyone is very happy and hopes that we can be together sooner. But today is not a good day, and even the nearest day is still five days later. I promised you that I would come to propose today, but I didn't do it..."
As he spoke, Gu Qingyun lowered his head, took out a small clay figurine from his bag, and held it in front of Qi Ningan with a smile.
Qi Ning'an originally thought that Gu Qingyun had fallen into some unreasonable emotions again, and was about to say that he didn't care, but when he looked up, he saw the little clay figurine vividly standing in Gu Qingyun's hand, and he couldn't help laughing out loud.
It was a little clay figure lying on a recliner with a nonchalant look on its face. Qi Ning'an was very surprised.
After traveling through time, she had never seen such lifelike clay figures, so she was naturally extremely delighted.
Qi Ningan took the little clay figurine and looked at it carefully. Even the eyes of the little figurine looked very much like his own. He couldn't help but like it more and more. "You made this?! So cute!!!"
Gu Qingyun's eyes were smiling as he looked at Qi Ning'an with a face full of joy, and he seemed to be a little proud. "I learned a little from Qi Tao, and it took me a lot of effort to make it like this, so I thought of giving you a surprise."
Qi Ning'an carefully placed the little clay figure on the table, and the little figure lay on the table obediently, exactly like himself. This was Qi Ning'an's favorite gift he had received in recent times.
No, it is my most favorite gift I have received since I traveled through time.
"It's only five days. I'm not in a hurry and you don't have to keep thinking about it. I promised you that I won't run away." Qi Ning'an smiled slightly. She was still looking at the little man. She liked him so much.
Gu Qingyun's eyes lit up, and he held Qi Ning'an's hand tightly, "I know, I know."
Qi Ning'an was stunned. Logically, she shouldn't let Gu Qingyun hold her hand, but for some reason, she didn't want to break free.
The two sat quietly in the yard, talking about what had happened in the past few days, and they couldn't help but feel as if they were in a dream.
"In a few days, Koi will be back. He said his master went to Kyoto Prefecture to look for some medicinal herbs and will come to the restaurant for a meal."
Qi Ning'an suddenly remembered that Gu Qingyun and Jinli were familiar with each other in the past.
As expected, Gu Qingyun immediately said, "Little Koi! It's been a while since I last saw you. I wonder if you've grown up a little, little brat?"
Qi Ning'an said, "You don't go to the Dali Temple now anyway, come and see it in a few days. But speaking of it, are you really never going to the Dali Temple again?"
Gu Qingyun looked at the lake and said quietly, "I don't know for now. Anyway, I'm getting married, so I have an excuse. I'll talk about it later."
Qi Ning'an knew what Gu Qingyun was avoiding, so he could only nod and continue to speak, "Actually, you don't have to think so much. What you can accomplish is already something that most people can't accomplish. So why not just let yourself go and continue to do what you like. Who says you have to destroy the world to be a true hero?"
Gu Qingyun's eyes were filled with tears. He had never thought that Qi Ning'an understood him so well. He really liked to punish evil and promote good, and he really wanted to be a little hero, but this was just a childhood dream.
He just kept moving forward along the path of his childhood and still hasn't thought about where his future lies.
"But there's no need to worry. From what I've seen in picture books, there are often people in mourning, taking leave, and even taking off court clothes at a young age. Don't worry, I can make money anyway, and we won't starve to death."
Qi Ning'an's thought was fleeting. If she didn't want to go, then she didn't want to go. It was no big deal.
……
Today is the day when Koi returns to the restaurant. Not to mention Qi Ningan, most people in the restaurant are a little excited.
When Koi was around, he often said something shocking, making everyone laugh.
Especially when they are together with Qi Tao, they are simply two funny guys.
Qi Ning'an had some selfish thoughts and specially prepared several medicinal dishes. Since the guests were experts, he had to judge whether their medicinal dishes were good or not.
When Koi arrived, it was the busiest time at noon. The sounds of dishes being served, orders being taken, and Xu Banshan's storytelling made the whole restaurant seem full of life.
"Master, this is our restaurant."
Koi introduced the old man with white hair and beard behind him.
The old man looked at the restaurant and nodded. It seemed that his little apprentice's sister had the same taste as himself. Flowers and plants were planted everywhere, and there were even many precious medicinal herbs planted in the flower fields.
He seems like a nonconformist.
There were a few fellow disciples who came with us. We could smell the scent from afar and couldn't help sniffing.
Although you can eat delicious food in the mountains, the fragrance is not as strong as this. I can smell it at the entrance of the alley, which is really tempting.
"Junior brother, is your sister so good at cooking? She has opened such a big restaurant."
One of the senior brothers felt that it was not easy for a young lady to achieve this.
Jinli nodded, "My sister bought this house in less than half a year. It's really magnificent."
Everyone followed him inside. Koi had never seen the lake frozen before, so he couldn't help but slow down his pace. "When I left home, this pond was still full of lotus flowers."
