Meng Junyao gave a piece of Yuhua stone that was as high as the calf. It was white on top and black on the bottom, with a large area of red smudged at the bottom, like a bunch of bright red flowers.
Another peculiar thing is that there is a transparent amber embedded in the white part of the upper part, the size of a doll's palm, and there is a blue butterfly flapping its wings inside.
The whole stone is bright in color and very beautiful.
Meng Junyao was preparing for the provincial examination. Knowing that Xingxing had recovered from her illness, he hurried over and even thought of giving her a gift. It was so exquisite and it was obvious that he had put a lot of thought into it and was thinking of her.
Jiang Ling was very happy and touched, and kept thanking her cousin.
Meng Junyao smiled and waved his hand, "As long as you like it."
After saying this, he was about to say goodbye. Fuzhou was a long way off, so he had to ride back on horseback. If he hurried, he could arrive within five days, and he would still have enough time to prepare.
When Zhou Jing'an heard this, he immediately went to Xibaoxuan to write a customs clearance document and asked him to take it with him.
In this way, they could rest at the post station wherever they arrived and replace tired horses, which saved a lot of time.
Meng Junyao took it with surprise and leaned over to thank him.
Jiang Ling and Zhou Jing'an personally sent him to the city gate, where Meng Linghan's family of three and Meng Wanjie were already waiting.
There were three horses nearby, and after the luggage was sorted out, it was placed on the horses' backs. Meng Linghan sent a servant with some skills to escort him back all the way.
Xingxing looked up at Meng Junyao and softly said, "Brother, have a safe journey and take care of yourself."
Meng Junyao touched her head and responded with a smile, "Wake up, remember to eat well and get more sleep."
"Yeah." Xingxing nodded vigorously, indicating that she would be obedient.
Meng Junyao bowed to his parents and aunt, and saluted Zhou Jing'an. He also told Jiang Ling to take good care of herself, then mounted his horse and set off.
Lin Niantao wiped her tears, her eyes full of worry.
Meng Junyao saw this and soothed him gently, "He is a man of integrity. If he can't even overcome such a small matter, then there's no point in studying for the imperial examinations."
Jiang Ling also smiled and said a few words, saying that her cousin would definitely get what he wanted.
The morning light was just getting bright. Meng Linghan, his family of three, and Meng Wanjie returned to the Jingnan Palace. They would return to Fuzhou after resting for a few days.
Jiang Ling also returned to Zhou's house with Zhou Jing'an.
She smiled at him and thanked him for what Meng Junyao had done just now.
Zhou Jingan took her hand and squeezed it, then said with a smile, "What's the big deal? It's what I should do."
He added, "I asked Ye Bai to send someone to follow us all the way. I think nothing will happen on the way, don't worry."
Jiang Ling raised the corners of her mouth, and kissed him on the side of his face with curved eyebrows.
"It's so kind of you."
Zhou Jing'an's eyebrows moved slightly and he hugged her tightly.

On August 13, Meng Junyao returned to Fuzhou one day earlier than scheduled, and took the time to prepare for the provincial examination.
At the same time, the capital city was also very lively that day.
The wife of the Marquis of Anyuan held a flower-viewing banquet and invited prominent figures in the capital. The banquet was held at a farm in the suburbs of the capital.
She also loves to tend to flowers and plants. Although she is not as good as the wife of Pingyang Hou, she is still ornamental.
Anyuan Bo was a talented general. He won many battles when he was young, but later he was injured and returned to become Anyuan Bo.
He has a strong character, sticks to his word and is a person who is easy to get along with.
The wife of the Marquis of Anyuan is a cheerful and cheerful person with a cheerful personality. She is good at talking and gets along well with others.
In addition, she loved matchmaking and was good at judging people. She had arranged at least ten marriages for twenty couples.
So when she held a banquet, everyone was willing to go.
The reason why she held the flower viewing banquet at the manor was because she was afraid that it would not be able to accommodate too many people. She said that no matter whether they were masters or mistresses, young men or young ladies, everyone could come. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that she was trying to be a matchmaker again.
So most of the important people in the capital went there.
Those who wanted to arrange marriages for their sons and daughters would dress up according to instructions and happily go to the outskirts of Beijing.
