The Hundred Birds Dynasty Phoenix Painting was painted by the famous painter Shen Shen in the Qing Dynasty. Because of the wide Qing Dynasty on the whole knowledge of birds, plus its skill collection of Chinese painting techniques, plus the sense of texture and rich color, leaving people to travel with the season to understand the world of flowers and birds. As such, it was known as the national treasure.

In the future, there would be many people who would use this painting to embroider flowers. However, no one knew that during the reign of Qian Long, Shen Kun's painting had been specially made from embroidery experts of all kinds. However, after the embroidery was completed, it disappeared without a trace when the allied army of the eight nations invaded.

Because the later generations had many imitation embroidery, so that pair of embroidery in the river of history submerged.

There was a reason why Fu Yanting had mentioned the embroidery item.

The embroidery roll first came into people's eyes at an exhibition abroad.

Embroidery was different from painting. Even if one had good craftsmanship, they might not have the reputation of a painter. Therefore, even the common embroidery masters of the Qianlong period did not have the reputation of painters or calligraphers.

As for the reason why it was later chosen by the allied armies of the eight countries, it was probably because of its elegance.

Master Yu had a true love for embroidery, so he had been to an exhibition abroad. At that time, he'd only glanced at it and fallen in love with it at first sight. Unfortunately, such a good item had actually fallen into the hands of a foreigner. Elder Yu had tried many times in hopes of buying this work back, but to no avail.

"Yan Ting, I didn't expect that you would still remember my feelings after so many years." "I'll go to the auction."

"Then I'll come and get Elder Yu when the time comes."

After leaving Elder Yu's workshop, Fu Yating escorted Song Wanqing back to the Fu Family residence.

"I have a banquet to attend today, so I'll be returning a bit later. If you have nothing else to do, then rest early."

"Alright."

Song Wanqing went back to her room and practiced what she had learned from Elder Yu. This time around, Kathleen had completely handed over the embroidery part to her. So she had to plan ahead.

According to her style, Song has decided to continue the Chinese style in this part of embroidery.

As for the embroidery pattern, she wanted to see what Kathleen's theme would be for this season. Plus, this time the new product was an autumn dress, so the fabric was a bit thicker than the previous ones. Caesars had already confirmed that they would use brocade to make the two main products. At that time, Song Xianqing would have to consult Elder Yu about the most suitable designs for brocade.

The next day, when Song Xianqing went to study at Elder Yu's place, she asked him about the matching of brocade with other skills.

"Little girl, the brocade cloth itself is rich in colors, and is rather gorgeous. As an embroidery master, what you need to do is to show off the characteristics of each material, and complement the patterns and the cloth. "Don't limit yourself to your own thoughts. Perhaps, you might be able to obtain unexpected results instead."

After being guided by Elder Yu, Song Wanqing was enlightened.

She would put her heart into it and make the embroidery that was most suitable for the clothes themselves.

The Du Mi Auction House's auction was finally about to begin. On this day, Song Xianqing and Fu Yanting went to meet him early at Old Yu's Workshop.

However, Elder Yu didn't know that Fu Yating had been the one to contact for the auction of the embroidery items that Du Mi had prepared.

Fu Yitian hoped that Elder Yu would be happy. This way, he would be able to learn more from Song Xianqing and Old Yu.

The most valuable thing about an old embroidery master wasn't how powerful his technique was, but rather the story he had.

Embroidery was not a simple matter of embroidering a picture onto a piece of fabric. Only by giving one's emotions and life to a pattern that was embroidered out would one be able to create a unique picture.

Master Yu was just like that. Even though he had mastered the profound art of embroidery when he was young, he wasn't famous then. It wasn't until he was old that more and more people began to like his work.

Not many people attended this auction. However, the participants were all people who were truly interested in embroidery.

Elder Yu was looking forward to it, and he was even a little nervous.

"This time, I really hope we can get it."

"Elder Yu will definitely have a chance."

Soon, the auction officially began. The first few pieces were not very big, but the design was unique, and the embroidery technique was also good. Therefore, these few pieces of embroidery were quickly sold. Song Wanqing even took a fancy to one of the embroidered handbags. This item was even more expensive than high-end customization.

It was quite rare to find embroidery on a handbag, not to mention the breathtaking picture on the handbag.

It was soon to be the last moment of the auction, and the painting of the Hundred Birds of a Phoenix was finally going to appear.

The staff of the auction house opened the painting.

When people saw the true face of the painting, they were all amazed.

The wisdom of the ancients is much higher than we modern people think. Many fine techniques or advanced skills have been lost. Even the embroidery.

The Hundred Birds of a Phoenix could be said to have perfectly restored this painting. The whole embroidery is colourful and magnificent. Every bird on it seemed to be alive, as if it were about to fly out of the embroidery roll. For such a long time, the color of the embroidery roll did not fade at all.

Elder Yu, who was sitting beside Song Wanqing, instantly burst into tears when he saw the embroidery scroll.

"It's this, this is it."

The host briefly introduced the embroidery scroll and then began the auction. The starting price is one million, and each increase must be no less than one hundred thousand.

Although not all of the surrounding bidders understood this set of embroidery, their bids were all very fierce due to the magnificence of this set of embroidery as well as their exquisite skills.

Song Xianqing was also attracted by this set of embroidery. It was indeed a work that was created by everyone.

No wonder so many famous masters had gathered together and embroidered this work. It was just that with the pearl jade in front of them, it became a foil to the rest of the work.

Waves after waves of bids came up. Not long later, the price of the embroidery items reached ten million.

Elder Yu raised the bid again, directly raising it to fifteen million.

Fortunately, those following them were no longer competitive. In the end, Elder Yu obtained the Hundred Birds Parting Phoenix Diagram. When Elder Yu received the "Hundred Birds Rising Phoenix Diagram", he actually teared up.

In this lifetime, this piece of work had reached perfection in Old Yu's life.

Indeed, after that, Old Master Yu became more attentive.

Finally, after determining the season's theme, Song also designed the corresponding pattern. The theme of the season is rebirth. It was probably due to the history of Kathleen's heart. After combining the fabric color, Song chose the phoenixwood as the theme design pattern.

While Song Xianqing was busy making custom-made patterns and embroidery, Fu Yanting received the latest news regarding her birth.

Song Wanqing was indeed a child of the Shen family. However, she was most likely not the child of the Shen family's patriarch. Instead, she was Shen Qian Qun's child.

Fu Zating was still hesitating as to whether he should tell this to Song Wanqing or not. Fu Yating had met Shen Qian Qun a few times before. This Shen Qian Qun was a very ambitious person. Fu Yanting did not wish for Song Xianqing to come into contact with such a person.

This matter was temporarily suppressed by Fu Yanting.

After the last annual meeting, the Fu family developed once again.

Next, Fu Zating was expected to attend the annual meeting of several companies.

This day was the annual meeting of the Shen Group. After pondering over it for a long time, Fu Yitian decided to bring Song Shuqing along with him. No matter what, Song Wanqing was still the daughter of the Shen family. Even if he didn't want her to return to the Shen family, he didn't want her to feel regret. After he met the Shen family and saw their attitude, he would decide whether he should tell them about Song Wanqing's background.

Shen mainly worked in the real estate industry. Most of the upscale residential areas in A City are owned by the Shen family.

This time, Shen's annual meeting will be held in Shen's building.

The second floor of Shen Shi Office Building was a very large banquet hall, which was where the large banquets would usually be held.

The Shen family's annual meeting was at night. Unlike the Fu family's annual meeting, the Shen family did not invite any celebrities. Other than the Shen family's employees, only some large families had invitations.

Fu Yanting brought Song Wanqing directly to the banquet hall on the second floor.

There were two rows of ceremonial ladies at the door. Under the guidance of the etiquette lady, Fu Ziling and Song Xianqing signed their names in front of the wall.

Shen's annual meeting was arranged beforehand. Fu Yating had a similar standing to Shen Wanshan, so he was seated at the front.

The annual meeting of the Shen family had gathered two-thirds of the big shots in A City. There were many handsome brothers and beautiful women. Fu Yanting brought Song Xianqing along to greet his seniors.

"Uncle Mo, long time no see."

"Indeed, it has been a long time. "Brat, why haven't you come to our house recently? Your aunt is always talking about you."

"I've been busy recently. "Oh right, let me introduce you, this is my fiancee, Song Shuqing."

"Hello, Uncle Mo." Song Wanqing greeted politely.

Then he brought Song Shuqing to meet with the other elders.

Song Wanqing realized that she was not very good at this sort of thing. In just a short moment, she was already exhausted. However, she insisted on doing so for the sake of Fu Zating.

In the future, there would only be more and more of this kind of social interaction. She had to get used to it. She wanted to be on the same level as him, and attending banquets was only the first step.

When the guests were almost here, Shen Wanshan appeared. He slowly walked into the banquet hall with Shen Yanni who was dressed like a princess by his arm.

Shen Yan Ni's smile was bright and beautiful. As she felt everyone's gaze on her, the pores all over her body opened up.

Her gaze swept across the crowd before finally landing on Fu Yating.

Her heart thumped rapidly. She wanted to walk over and greet Fu Yating.

But Dad had said that the girl should be a little more reserved. Therefore, Shen Yanni resisted the urge to immediately charge forward.

She followed beside Shen Wanshan and greeted everyone. However, she would occasionally glance at Fu Zating.

By this time, Fu Ting had already brought Song Shiqing back to his seat to rest. Song Wanqing did not look too good. He poured a glass of juice for her.

Song Wanqing did not know why she felt uncomfortable all of a sudden. Just as she turned, she felt something was wrong with her entire body, even the location of her heart.

"How about we go back first?"

"No need. I'll be fine after I take a break. "

Fu Yating lifted Song Xianqing's hair and held her hand. She hoped that the heat from her palm could be transferred to Song Wanqing's hand.

This scene happened to fall right into Shen Yanni's eyes. Immediately, Shen Yanni's rage surged.
