Jiang Ling shook her head to indicate that she didn't know who won first place.
All she knew now was that she had earned twelve points of favorability from the male protagonist with just a few words and a smile.
"Silly boy, am I really that great?" She was feeling a little proud in her heart, and this was the third time she asked Hu Hu for praise.
Foxy spun in the air for the third time, his eyes sparkling as he twisted his body and said happily, "The host is amazing! Super amazing!"
Jiang Ling wanted to laugh when she saw its little appearance.
She is so silly, I love her so much.
Cheng An seemed to hear Jiang Ling's laughter. He turned around to look, but saw that she still looked distraught. He thought he must have heard it wrong.
Wu Wanying came in from outside, raised the five lanterns in her hand, and said regretfully, "We came in too late. I walked most of the garden and only found these five. The rest were almost all won by Zhou Jingan."
She didn't have any other emotion when she said this, but she was really sorry that she didn't win more lanterns.
She looked at the lanterns in the hands of the two people and said in surprise, "I actually have the most!"
Cheng An put the three lanterns aside and was startled when he heard her words: "What? Zhou Jingan won first place?"
"Yes, but I got first place among the three of us. Do you two want to treat me to a meal? Or give me a gift?" Wu Wanying said that she only wanted to win the prize now.
Jiang Ling looked at Wu Wanying and burst out laughing. "Didn't you argue with me about Zhou Jing'an before? Why are you only concerned about food and gifts now?"
The main conflict between the original body and Wu Wanying before, apart from the similar personalities that led to conflicts, was Zhou Jing'an.
Wu Wanying shook her head and said solemnly, "After my 'death', I have no mood for love now. I just want to eat, drink and have fun."
She was truly desperate when her whole body sank into the lake. The feeling of desperately wanting to grasp a glimmer of hope was very uncomfortable, and she never wanted to experience it again in her life.
Forget about Zhou Jing'an and Wang Jing'an. She only has one thought now, which is to live well and be happy with her friends!
Jiang Ling admired and agreed with her attitude and nodded: "That's right! This is my good friend!"
She and Qingqing have always had this mentality. No matter what, they have to make way for their own happiness.
Men will only affect the speed at which she draws her sword.
Wu Wanying had a cheerful expression that said, "You understand me." "We should stick together. We've both died once, so of course we can relate."
The two hugged each other tightly as if they had met too late, and patted each other on the back to show their support.
Cheng An smiled when he saw Jiang Ling happy, but he was speechless and jealous when he saw them hugging each other. He pouted and said, "Humph, isn't it just a trip to the gates of hell? What's the big deal?"
She came over and hugged them, "Don't try to isolate me. I feel the same as you do. I'm not in the mood for love right now."
That’s right!
Jiang Ling gave them two thumbs up in her heart. No matter whether they were young girls or grown-up women, the most important thing was to live happily. If they wanted to be single, they could live alone. If they wanted someone to accompany them, they could find someone to live with. There was no need to go through so many twists and turns.
The three of them hugged each other for a while, and Cheng An suddenly remembered the boss's words that the first place winner would receive a mysterious gift. "Wan Ying, did you see what the prize was?"
Wu Wanying nodded: "I saw it."
"Zhou Jing'an won a total of fifty lanterns and took first place. The boss personally gave him the prizes and even sent a carriage to take the lanterns he won back to the capital."
She gestured and explained, "The prize was placed in a yellow brocade box. It was a Hetian jade fracture fan. I saw clearly that the fan was made of Jingzhou's blue rice paper. The light blue fan was painted with the golden osmanthus in the garden, and there was also a poem inscribed on it: 'My past filthiness was not worth boasting about, but my present unbridled thoughts are boundless.'"
Jiang Ling raised her eyebrows slightly. This fan is quite valuable.
The fan bones made of Hetian jade and the fan leaves made of Jingzhou Qingxuan jade are valuable enough. Of course, the people who come here to play are all children of wealthy families and have no shortage of these things, but the golden osmanthus painted on the fan leaves and the poems written on them have good meanings.
The filthiness of the past is nothing to boast about, but today, his unrestrained thoughts are boundless. Jiang Ling raised the corners of his mouth, and what followed was the line that everyone would recite: "The horse gallops in the spring breeze, and I can see all the flowers in Chang'an in one day."
Tsk, Jiang Ling couldn't help but think a little more. Did the boss set up this jackpot on purpose? To please Zhou Jing'an?
After all, Zhou Jing'an's biggest expectation now is to pass the imperial examination.
Wu Wanying and Cheng An naturally knew the origin of this poem and thought that this boss was quite good at pleasing others.
"Oh yes, in addition to the folding fan, there is also a jade hairpin with a jade rabbit and laurel flowers and gold thread." Wu Wanying added, "The rabbit is carved very realistically. I don't know what kind of jade it is, but it's delicate and round. The osmanthus flowers are made of gold wire, which is very beautiful." Her tone was full of longing.
Cheng An asked, "Zhou Jing'an is a man, why did the boss give him a hairpin?"
Wu Wanying replied, "The boss explained that since they didn't know who would take first place, they set the prize at two, so that both men and women could win."
"That's thoughtful. I wonder who Zhou Jing'an will give it to." Cheng An only cared about this. It had nothing to do with her, so she turned around and started discussing what delicious food they would eat when they went to Ronghua Street.
[Ding~ Congratulations to the host for triggering the side quest.]
The system broadcast voice suddenly sounded, startling Jiang Ling.
[Side Quest: Please find a way to obtain the Jade Rabbit Gold Hairpin from Zhou Jing'an. The deadline is ten days. The reward is a clue or prop that helps the plot develop.]

① From Tang Dynasty poet Meng Jiao's "After Passing the Imperial Examination": "My past filthiness is nothing to boast about, but today my wild thoughts know no bounds. The spring breeze blows, my horse gallops, and I see all the flowers in Chang'an in one day."
