City's Best Divine Doctor

Chapter 2128: Chapter 2088: Poetry Within Painting, Painting Within Poetry

Seeing these picturesque rural landscapes, Ye Qiu’s mind was filled with inspiration.

Many poets and painters have emerged from Huizhou, and Ye Qiu’s mind had absorbed quite a lot of souls as well.

When he saw how excited Li Qianqian and the others were, Ye Qiu knew they had probably spent too much time in a big city like Jinling without a chance to get out and enjoy the breeze.

But now, things were different; they could completely let loose.

It was past five in the afternoon, and Ye Qiu and Luo Yang drove with the others, stopping frequently to have a look around. It was also National Day, so there were quite a few tourists here, a fact easily observable from the car license plates.

After finding a mountain village to have dinner, Ye Qiu decided not to return to Ye Family Village for a meal with Li Qianqian and the rest.

Although the meals at Ye Family Village were quite lavish now.

"Mom, I’m dining with Qianqian and the others at a mountain resort, so we won’t be home for dinner tonight. Don’t wait up for us."

He made a call to notify Chen Fang as Ye Qiu and the others entered a private dining hall in the resort.

"Ye Qiu, if I had known your hometown’s environment was so good and so nearby, we would have come to visit more often." Li Shen said.

From Jinling to here, it was only two or three hundred kilometers. If you didn’t drive but took the high-speed rail directly from Jinling to Huizhou, it would be even faster.

However, traveling by high-speed rail wasn’t as convenient as driving yourself.

"To be honest, I only came back a few times when I was a child, so I have no memory of it."

Ye Qiu indeed had little recollection of this place.

However, realizing how great it was, he could certainly come back for a visit when he’s tired of Jinling.

But, the old house at Ye Family Village wasn’t suitable to live in; he planned to get his father to build a new mansion, a Huizhou-style mansion with a grand entrance.

"Before I head back, I’ll have someone start building a new house, so that during the New Year we can come back and stay."

Ye Qiu said.

"Then we can come here for New Year’s; it doesn’t feel like New Year’s in Jinling," Luo Yang said.

"I’m planning to build a mansion, let’s see which plot at Ye Family Village is suitable."

Ye Qiu chatted with them while admiring the scenery outside.

Overall, Huizhou was very beautiful, especially since the environment here hadn’t been destroyed, there was no industrial pollution, making it undoubtedly a very suitable place for people to live.

This is why many elderly people are willing to come here.

After choosing dishes like roast suckling pig, roast goose, and river fish, all local specialties, they looked quite impressive.

By the time they were full and satisfied, it was already past eight in the evening. Upon returning to the small town hotel, Luo Yang and the others had already gone upstairs to rest.

If there’s nothing planned for tomorrow, they might drive around nearby or even visit Mount Huang, as they hadn’t climbed it yet.

Whatever they decided to do, Ye Qiu let them manage themselves.

However, Ye Qiu noticed he was truly inspired.

He intended to prepare a gift for these young ladies.

Ink, brushes, paper, and inkstones—the Four Treasures of the Study—were easy to acquire.

Ye Qiu went downstairs and asked a female hotel staff member to purchase the Four Treasures of the Study from the town.

After taking the money since the hotel was booked out and they had nothing else to do, the staff member went to buy them.

Due to the nice scenery, many people would come here to paint.

So the town’s bookstores or stationery shops had ink, brushes, paper, and inkstones, and the prices varied.

Earlier, Ye Qiu mentioned to buy the most expensive ones.

Ye Qiu returned upstairs and took a comfortable bath.

Just as he finished, the doorbell rang; it was the female staff member.

"Mr. Ye, I bought the Four Treasures of the Study for you. There’s five hundred yuan left."

"Keep the change as your tip."

Ye Qiu took the Four Treasures of the Study.

Then, he placed a piece of Xuan Paper on the side. Even with his eyes closed, Ye Qiu could easily paint.

He felt that his inspiration was overwhelming.

White walls, black tiles, rapeseed flowers, mountain fields, ponds, and little ducks.

Ye Qiu casually painted, producing a landscape painting.

This was a traditional Huizhou Chinese painting.

The painting depicted Huizhou architecture and the local rural beauty.

Finally, Ye Qiu inscribed two words as a title.

Homeland!

As for the artist’s name, he only wrote one character.

Qiu!

After Ye Qiu finished painting, he laid them out to dry.

At this time, there was a knock at the door.

Without looking, Ye Qiu knew it was surely Li Qianqian, fresh from her bath.

"Ye Qiu, I’m here."

Ye Qiu opened the door, and once inside, Li Qianqian was stunned by the paintings on the floor.

These paintings were simply too beautiful!

"Ye Qiu, did you paint all these?"

Li Qianqian, of course, knew Ye Qiu was a skilled painter and she even had a painting given to her by Ye Qiu.

"Bought from someone else."

"I don’t believe it; I want them all."

Li Qianqian said excitedly.

"Of course not, don’t be greedy. You can only choose one."

One piece?

Li Qianqian found all the paintings so beautiful, she liked every single one of them.

Ye Qiu called Song Ying and Lin Xiang saying, "I bought gifts for you, come and choose them yourselves."

Gifts?

What gifts?

Liu Lingxiu, Song Ying, Lin Xiang, Ling Fei, Xia Tiantian, and even Han Xiaowan came over. When they entered Ye Qiu’s room and saw the unframed Chinese paintings, they couldn’t take their eyes off them.

Each hurriedly chose a piece, knowing for sure these must be Ye Qiu’s works.

Ye Qiu’s paintings were highly valuable, and Liu Lingxiu and Xiaomai knew this well. They were surprised Ye Qiu had painted so many so casually.

"Take them back to your rooms, and when back in Jinling, get them framed yourselves!"

"Ye Qiu, paint another one for me!" Li Qianqian said coquettishly.

"No more paintings. Scarcity makes it precious, and if I paint more, they won’t be valuable."

Li Qianqian, slightly sulking, took her chosen painting back.

After they left.

Ye Qiu carefully stored away the Four Treasures of the Study.

"Xiaowan, I heard Ye Qiu’s paintings are worth millions, yet he gave them to us so generously," Zhou Muling said, finding it hard to believe.

Previously, they had admired the oil painting Ye Qiu gave to Li Qianqian and were very surprised.

Unexpectedly, trailing after Li Qianqian this time led to such a pleasant surprise.

"I’m afraid if this continues, I might fall in love with Ye Qiu." Han Xiaowan said.

She found Ye Qiu too perfect, so perfect that no ordinary mortal could compare, and because of that, they suddenly realized they were losing interest in other excellent guys around them.

"What? I’ll tell Qianqian."

"No, even if I fall in love with Ye Qiu, he probably won’t fancy me."
