Chapter 494: Chapter 495: This is her, Miss Wang’s painting is very lifelike

Yang Ming drove the carriage to the rented courtyard and directly called Yang Qiu out.

"Third brother, what’s up?"

"Get ready, I’m taking you to the county town."

"Really?" Upon hearing this, Yang Qiu could hardly believe it, and felt excited. She had never been to the county town, let alone to the town, "Third brother, what are we doing in the county town?"

"We’re going to find a painter to make a portrait of you."

Yang Qiu was puzzled, "Why do we need to make a portrait?"

"It’s not easy to find Yang Xia just by her name; you resemble her, so we’ll try using your portrait first."

Upon hearing that it was for finding her sister, Yang Qiu didn’t say another word, darted back into the house, dropped her things, and came out hastily, saying, "Third brother, let’s go now then."

"Wait a moment; I need to call Li Fugui."

"Okay."

Yang Qiu waited in the yard while Yang Ming went inside to call Li Fugui, who was busy preparing food in the kitchen.

As soon as Yang Ming entered the kitchen, he explained his purpose, "Li Fugui, let the female workers cook lunch by themselves today, we’re going to the county town."

Li Fugui stopped what he was doing, equally puzzled, and asked, "What are we doing in the county town?"

"I’m taking you and Yang Qiu there to find a painter to make a portrait of Xiaotian. It’s hard to find people just by name, so I’m considering trying with a portrait."

Upon hearing that Yang Ming was going to help find Xiaotian, Li Fugui quickly put down what he was doing, hurried out of the door, and said, "I have a portrait, I’ll get it for you."

This surprised Yang Ming, who remembered Li Fugui saying days before that he didn’t have one. "Why didn’t you say you had one before?"

As they walked, Li Fugui explained, "Miss Wang drew it for me a few days ago."

"..." That Xiangxiang had such a skill? She was not what she appeared to be.

As soon as they came out of the house, Yang Qiu said excitedly, "Third brother, shall we go now?"

"Xiaoqiu, just wait a moment please." Yang Ming was anxious to see the portrait, so his tone was somewhat harsh.

"Oh!" Yang Qiu still waited in the yard.

Yang Ming followed Li Fugui to his room, where Li Fugui carefully took out a portrait from the drawer and handed it to Yang Ming.

"This is it; Miss Wang’s drawing is very lifelike."

Yang Ming took the portrait, feeling somewhat emotional, his eyes slightly misty. This was the first time he had seen what his sister looked like; she indeed resembled Yang Qiu, looking very sweet.

"Then I will take this to the county town and have the painter make several copies."

"Yes," Li Fugui agreed, "Be careful with it, don’t damage it."

This was the only portrait he had; he was holding onto it as a keepsake.

"Yes, don’t worry, I’ll bring it back tonight." Yang Ming could very well understand the pain in Li Fugui’s heart. This portrait was extremely precious to Li Fugui. Compared to him, he was much luckier, having his wife by his side.

The two men quickly left the house, and Yang Ming said to Yang Qiu, "Xiaoqiu, we have the portrait now, so you don’t need to come to the county town. Go back to your chores."

Upon hearing this, Yang Qiu’s expression grew dim. She couldn’t go to the county town, and she felt somewhat disappointed as she turned and walked back into the house.

Yang Ming noticed his sister’s discomfort; she probably hadn’t been out of the village before and must have really wanted to see what it was like. He felt a bit guilty for neglecting his sister, "Xiaoqiu, today I have urgent matters and can’t take you to the county town to play. Another day, I’ll have your third sister-in-law take you."

"Yes." Yang Qiu’s eyes lit up again, as she smiled and agreed.
