Chapter 116 Nosebleed
Immediately, Madam Qian's attitude towards Widow Pan softened: "Cai Ling, thank you for sending the book to Tao Hua. You should take this meat back with you."
"Aunt Qian, are you saying this because you haven't forgiven me for the nonsense I said last time?"
If you forgive me, please leave the meat here; otherwise, I will have no face to see your family again.
Widow Pan insisted.
Left with no other choice, Ms. Qian had to accept it.
Taking the opportunity, Widow Pan revealed the purpose of her visit to Zhao Taohua: "Taohua, my mother-in-law and I would like to enroll in your embroidery workshop to learn embroidery. What do you think?"
Zhao Taohua smiled; it turned out that the widow Pan had gone around in circles for this reason.
“Okay, you and Aunt Ge can come together.”
Widow Pan was delighted to hear Zhao Taohua's words and thanked her repeatedly. Before leaving, she reminded Zhao Taohua to study the book she had given her.
Zhao Taohua became increasingly curious about the contents of the book.
After entering the house, she went straight into the west room, sat down on a stool, and then opened the book that Widow Pan had wrapped up tightly.
The cover was blank, but when Zhao Taohua opened the first page, she was shocked by what she saw!
The painting technique is superb, the picture is delicate, the colors are bright, the lines are smooth, and it is lifelike and vivid.
The realistic style faithfully recreates the human form and scenes, and pays attention to the expression of human expressions, body lines and skin texture.
The painting's atmosphere and emotional expression are very clear; Zhao Taohua felt as if she had opened up a new world!
The book not only depicts various scenes, but also various characters and identities.
No wonder Widow Pan and Madam Qian let her watch it secretly by herself!
"Peach Blossom Sister, what's wrong?"
Just as Zhao Taohua was engrossed in watching, Shen Ming's voice suddenly came from above.
When she came to her senses, she saw Shen Ming reach out and wipe her nose, his fingertip instantly stained with bright red blood.
When Zhao Taohua saw that scarlet blood, she realized that she had a nosebleed.
Zhao Taohua felt a pang of guilt; she must have been too engrossed in looking at the figurine and that's why she got a sore throat.
Shen Ming held Zhao Taohua's chin, making her tilt her head back.
Then he pulled a gray handkerchief from his pocket, and a white handkerchief, seemingly embroidered with peach blossoms, quietly fell from his pocket.
He gently wiped the bloodstains off Zhao Taohua's face.
The two drew closer, so close that Zhao Taohua could see the fine downy hairs on his face.
The faint scent of sweat emanating from Shen Ming lingered around Zhao Taohua's nose, inexplicably making her heart race.
In April, Shen Ming wore a long-sleeved shirt, but the clothes couldn't hide his muscular arms at all.
Her gaze unconsciously fell on Shen Ming's arm, then wandered to his firm chest, and the little picture she had just seen flashed through her mind.
The scene of the man and woman embracing intimately in the painting overlaps with the figure of Shen Ming in front of me!
Zhao Taohua's face flushed red, feeling that every move Shen Ming made carried a uniquely alluring charm.
"Peach Blossom Sister, are you alright?"
Shen Ming had just finished wiping the blood off Zhao Taohua's face when he saw that Zhao Taohua's face was as red as the evening glow and burning hot!
Zhao Taohua stared at Shen Ming's lips as they opened and closed, her mind blank except for those alluring lips.
She suddenly sat up straight, leaned in abruptly, and pressed her lips, which were of moderate thickness and beautifully shaped, against hers.
Time seemed to freeze at this moment.
Shen Ming was so startled by Zhao Taohua's sudden kiss that his body stiffened, his eyes widened, and his face was full of disbelief.
It took him a while to come to his senses, and the corners of his mouth slowly turned up. Peach Blossom Sister had kissed him!
When Zhao Taohua felt an unprecedented surge of spiritual energy flowing into her body, she finally came to her senses.
Realizing the bold move she had just made, fear and shame instantly overwhelmed her.
She quickly covered her mouth, her eyes darting nervously to Shen Ming, and stammered:
"Brother Shen Ming, I'm sorry, I... I don't know how I just..."
Shen Ming's lips curled up, revealing a doting yet playful smile:
"Peach Blossom Sister, if you like, you can kiss me anytime you want in the future."
As he spoke, his eyes were full of tenderness as he looked directly at Zhao Taohua.
The more he stared at Zhao Taohua, the more shy she became, and she dared not meet his gaze.
Because, as soon as they meet, strange and bizarre images automatically pop into her mind.
These little figurines are really harmful.
However, it was her first time kissing Shen Ming, and the amount of spiritual energy she received surprised her.
If that's the case, then it wouldn't be a bad thing to kiss Shen Ming more often in the future.
Anyway, they're already engaged, and the engagement is legal.
"Shen Ming, Tao Hua, dinner is ready!"
Qian's voice came from the direction of the kitchen.
Zhao Taohua immediately said, "Brother Shenming, go and get my mother some bowls and chopsticks first. I'll be right there."
Shen Ming didn't think much of it and went out after hearing this.
Seeing that he had really left, Zhao Taohua carefully took out the picture book she had just hidden from behind her back.
This book must absolutely not be discovered by Brother Shen Ming.
She went to the bedside and tucked the book under the pillow.
After doing all this, Zhao Taohua finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Just as she turned around to go out for dinner, she saw Shen Ming suddenly standing at the door, which almost scared Zhao Taohua out of her wits!
"Brother Shen Ming, why are you back?"
Zhao Taohua asked somewhat guiltily.
Shen Ming glanced at the stool she had just been sitting on, and sure enough, there was a white handkerchief next to the stool leg.
Shen Ming's expression became somewhat unnatural upon hearing her question.
He explained, "I came back to tell you to hurry up and eat, or it will get cold."
Zhao Taohua frowned slightly. How could food get cold so quickly?
Despite her doubts, Zhao Taohua still walked outside.
However, as she walked past him toward the door, she did not hear the footsteps following behind.
She turned around abruptly and saw Shen Ming squatting down to pick something up from the ground. The handkerchief looked somewhat familiar to her.
"That... isn't that the peach blossom handkerchief I embroidered after learning embroidery from the menstrual spirit?"
As Zhao Taohua spoke, she walked towards him.
Shen Ming froze as he picked up the handkerchief, and turned to look at her with extreme awkwardness.
"I searched for a long time but couldn't find it. I thought I had lost it. Turns out it was with you, Brother Shen Ming?"
Zhao Taohua asked.
"Yes, I found it and have kept it with me ever since."
Shen Mingqi said awkwardly.
On his way to the kitchen, he suddenly realized that the handkerchief was missing. He immediately came back to look for it and luckily found it, but Zhao Taohua discovered the secret.
Seeing him pick up the handkerchief and about to stuff it into his bosom, Zhao Taohua quickly stopped him, saying:
"This is the first handkerchief I've ever embroidered. It's so ugly. Give it back to me, and I'll embroider a nicer one for you next time."
Shen Ming smiled, but refused to return it.
"I'll keep this one for now. Once you've embroidered a new one, give it to me together."
After saying that, Shen Ming didn't give Zhao Taohua a chance to take the handkerchief away, and took her hand and walked towards the kitchen.
Now that they are engaged, it's nothing unusual for them to hold hands openly, and Qian Shi and Zhao Ershu have gotten used to it.
What's wrong with two children getting along well and having a deep bond?
However, Zhao Taohua really wanted to get back that ugly handkerchief, but Shen Ming didn't give her the chance at all!
The next day, many people from the village came to the Peach Blossom Embroidery Workshop to sign up; there were not only women but also men.
There were not only young people, but also elderly people!
Grandpa Village Chief: "You're just idling at home anyway, come and learn embroidery. Learn another skill, and you can make money with Peach Blossom in the future!"
Qi Bo said, "I can't do physical labor anymore, this job is easy."
Widow Pan said, "Peach Blossom is smart and capable. She can lead everyone to make a lot of money. No matter if you are young or old, men or women, once you come to the embroidery workshop, everyone will be an embroiderer or an embroiderer!"
