Lu Changchuan gave Old Qin a landscape painting by Bada Shanren.
Xiao Ye's boyfriend gave Old Qin a flower-and-bird painting from the same period by Bada Shanren.
He looked at this one, and then he looked at that one.
Old Master Qin looked at Lu Changchuan again and snorted, "Consider yourself smart, young man!"
Lu Changchuan: ...
He instructed the butler to serve the meal, and Old Qin smiled warmly at Ye Wan, "Xiao Ye, these are dishes made by the new chef at Grandpa Qin's house. See if they suit your taste."
"And there's the green plum wine I buried under the plum tree last winter. Do you want it... never mind, you have classes this afternoon, right? Take a jar with you when you leave."
They talked about studies and everyday matters, as if Ye Wan were his own granddaughter.
Qin Chizhou: Heh.
He turned his head and saw his own grandson angrily poking at the plate of jade tofu, nearly turning it into tofu pudding.
