Chapter 36: Bright as the Moon

We like to appreciate beautiful things and admire people with noble qualities. We are a group of people chasing rainbows, looking at colorful colors and dreaming of colorful colors. Sometimes, we are a little unrealistic, but we will gain momentum and direction for moving forward.

In the most stylish log cabin in Toronto, Franklin's Shu embroidered cheongsam exudes a unique charm, it has a quiet and elegant temperament, full of charm, and unconventional. The cheongsam is a blue flower on a white background, a large piece of blank space gives people infinite imagination, the flower is an orchid is not good, slim and elegant, outstanding temperament, out of the mortal world, plucking the heartstrings of the world, leaving the fragrance of the ages. The stitching method is surprisingly delicate, smooth and natural, and the whole layout adopts the most commonly used white drawing technique in ancient Chinese ink painting, which looks like an elegant orchid splashed on white rice paper from a distance.

Zhong Xiaoling only glanced at it and was completely shocked, standing still, without saying any words of praise. This is probably the charm of classicism, no matter how the times develop, how fashion changes, how color is transformed, every Chinese will always have a classical paradise in their hearts, it is indisputable with the world, tranquil and happy, like a leisurely South Mountain, drinking and picking chrysanthemums, exuding a faint fragrance in the wind and rain of the years.

"How's it going? Second Young Master Zhong, how about my Shu embroidery? Franklin shook the Shu embroidery back and forth in front of Gao Zhongming's eyes several times, and then said a little proudly.

"Beautiful, really good." Gao Zhongming stared at this Shu embroidery and said a little stupidly.

In the villa area on the outskirts of Toronto, there are no people around, only two people are particularly visible. At this moment, Gao Zhongming was standing at the door of Zhong Xiaoling's mother's house, he was a little nervous, his face was a little pale, his palms were full of sweat, he felt that his legs were like stepping on cotton, he took a deep breath, swallowed his saliva, wiped the bead-like sweat droplets on his face, and made up his mind.

"How? Are you okay? Zhong Xiaoling asked about Gao Zhongming, who didn't look good, and she knew that he was nervous.

"It's okay, I'm okay." Gao Zhongming looked at Zhong Xiaoling's eyes firmly, and then replied to her with a smile.

Gao Zhongming knocked on the door with a bang, and after a while, the door opened, and a lady who looked very young and temperamental opened the door, Gao Zhongming was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Zhong Xiaoling's mother to be so young.

"That...... Hello Auntie, that I ...... My name is Gao Zhongming, and I am ...... is Zhong Xiaoling's boyfriend. It's not almost the New Year, so let's spend the New Year with you. Gao Zhongming looked very calm and tried to keep smiling, but he really couldn't control his mouth and stammered when he spoke. Zhong Xiaoling looked at Gao Zhongming with a lively expression, and the corners of her mouth were still holding back a smile when she listened to him, this was the first time she had seen him so flustered.

"Don't be too nervous, kid, I'm a very easy-going person. I'm glad you can come with me, and you don't have to be inhibited, just like in your own home. Zhong Xiaoling's mother smiled and looked at Gao Zhongming, who was a little shy but very cute, Gao Zhongming looked at Zhong Xiaoling's mother's smile, his eyes were a little moist, first, he didn't expect his aunt to be so easy to get along with, and secondly, when he saw his aunt's smile, he thought of his mother's smile, which he hadn't seen for more than ten years.

"By the way, Auntie, this is my New Year's gift to you." Gao Zhongming smiled a little embarrassedly, and after speaking, he took out the exquisite Shu embroidered cheongsam.

"You have a heart, I like it very much." Zhong Xiaoling's mother looked at the Shu embroidered cheongsam carefully, but her expression was very complicated, there seemed to be some joy and sadness in her eyes, and there seemed to be some tears in her eyes. This probably reminded her of her past, her teacher is a lover of Shu embroidery, in the current words is an enthusiast of Shu embroidery, and her wardrobe still treasures a Shu embroidery skirt given to her by the teacher, and she is not willing to wear it. Zhong Xiaoling's mother's name is Zhong Yueming, which is taken from "The pearl of the sea and the moon has tears." The word "moonlight" in the meaning is as clear as the moon, innocent and noble. After Zhong Yueming finished speaking, he smiled and nodded to Gao Zhongming, Gao Zhongming was a little panicked, and also nodded in response with a smile.

Zhong Yueming likes to drink tea, and the window at home is full of all kinds of tea, including the precious West Lake Longjing, Tieguanyin, and all kinds of flower tea, with a wide variety of everything. At this time, the sun was already setting in the west, and the golden sunlight was scattered on the grass in the distance, and even the green grass was dyed golden. The three of them sat on the balcony, in front of a small milky white round table, on which was a set of exquisite gold-rimmed white porcelain tea sets, the white color shining in the sun.

The three of them enjoyed the beautiful sunset, immersed in the curling green smoke rising from the teapot, savored the sweetness between their lips and teeth, and enjoyed a rare leisurely time.
