We went to Tianranxuan for lunch, mainly because the restaurant is right on this main street, it’s close and there’s no need to queue, and everyone likes the dishes there.
Because they were going to watch street performances and release river lanterns in the afternoon, Murong Shu ordered lunch today. She knew everyone's tastes, and she was afraid that Wen Jing would serve all the signature dishes and waste time.
Tianranxuan's business was booming today. Several people left after their meal. As soon as they left, the young master of the Mu family, the young master of the Song family, and Han Xu arrived.
Several people also went to Juxian Pavilion today, but they arrived late and missed the time for Wen Jing to hang up the inquiry sign, so they were delayed in Juxian Pavilion for a while.
"Mr. Mu, Mr. Song, Mr. Han, Miss Mu and my master and their group have just left." The owner of Tianranxuan knew them.
"Ah, my sister is here too. We missed her." Mu Siqing and Han Xu were both very regretful. They missed the opportunity to hang up the question card, and then they missed the chance to have dinner together.
"Let's go upstairs first. We can invite my cousin and Mr. Wen San next time." The cousin of the Song family advised.
"This is the only way. Let's go for a walk after dinner. Maybe we can meet him." Mu Siyuan said expectantly.
"We can't guess where my sister likes to go, so the possibility of meeting her is slim." Mu Sijin was not trying to pour cold water on everyone, but there were really too many people on the street.
"Is Miss Song coming out with Miss Mu and the others today?" Han Xu suddenly became a little expectant.
"My sister is at home with mother and grandmother today and has not come out." When Han Xu asked about his sister, the eldest brother of the Song family replied. He knew that his sister and cousin had saved Mr. Han's mother, so when Han Xu asked about his sister, the eldest brother of the Song family did not think much about it.
Although they were a little disappointed that they didn't meet Murong Shu and Wen Jing, the shopkeeper directly arranged an exclusive room for them that belonged to the Third Young Master, and they were very excited.
Murong Shu and his companions went directly to watch the street performances. Although it was not formal, it was really enjoyable. Wen Yu and Ning Xin were very excited. Jun Mingyue was not as lively as usual today because she was worried.
Considering her good sister's feelings, Murong Shu always pulled Jun Mingyue to make her happy. When releasing the river lanterns, Murong Shu also pulled Jun Mingyue to make a wish together.
Several of them also took part in the parade and celebration, which was very lively. When they were going back, they were so tired that they didn't want to look for the young masters of the Ning family. Murong Shu asked the coachman of the Mu family to send Ning Xin directly back home, and he got on Wen Jing's carriage.
Before parting, Murong Shu pulled Jun Mingyue aside and counseled her, "Princess, people who are destined to be together will eventually meet each other. Please calm down and be happy, okay?"
"Shu'er, will he and I really see each other again?" Jun Mingyue asked uncertainly.
"Don't worry, Princess. Shu'er believes that we will see each other again. Please send the portrait to Juxian Pavilion first. Maybe we will get news soon." Murong Shu could only comfort Jun Mingyue in this way.
"Thank you Shu'er, I won't give up."
"Come on, Princess!"
Encouraged by Murong Shu, Jun Mingyue gained more confidence. As long as the person was in the capital, she would find him no matter how hard she tried.
On the way back in the carriage, little Dumpling Wen Yu was so tired that he fell asleep. Wen Jing held him in his arms so that he could sleep more comfortably. Murong Shu sat next to Wen Jing and poked little Dumpling's chubby little face from time to time.
Mu Jing wanted to laugh when he saw this. His Shu'er was still a child at heart. He remembered the New Year's money he had prepared for Murong Shu, so he hugged his nephew again, freed one hand to take out the New Year's money he had prepared long ago and handed it to Murong Shu. "Shu'er, Happy New Year, this is the New Year's money for you."
Murong Shu was a little dumbfounded when he saw the box that Wen Jing handed over. He didn't expect that Wen Jing had prepared New Year's money for him. He didn't react for a moment and forgot to take the box that Wen Jing handed over.
"Shu'er, don't you like it?" Wen Jing saw that Murong Shu was reluctant to take the call, and thought that Murong Shu didn't like it, so he felt a little nervous.
Murong Shu reacted and quickly took the box from Wen Jing, smiling and thanking him, "Thank you, Ziyu, I like it very much."
"Open it and take a look. How can you know you like it without even looking at it?" Wen Jing motioned to Murong Shu to open it and take a look. He just wanted to see with his own eyes the surprise of his Shu'er when he opened the gift.
"Can we open it now?" Murong Shu asked in surprise. She had originally wanted to wait until she returned home to read it.
Seeing Wen Jing nod, Murong Shu was extremely happy. Wen Jing didn't even mind her opening it in front of him, so why was she still hesitating about it?
Murong Shu was stunned when he opened the box. Inside was a thick stack of large-denomination silver bills and a small wooden statue of himself. After looking at it carefully, he found that it was the same clothes and headdress he wore when he first saw it.
The little statue was lifelike and 90% similar to herself. The details and lines were especially well handled, which showed how much effort the sculptor put into it. Murong Shu was deeply moved. Her Zi Yu loved her far more than she had imagined.
"Do you like it?" Wen Jing asked nervously, and Murong Shu answered affirmatively.
"I like it very much, thank you Ziyu." Looking at the happy expression on Murong Shu's face, Wen Jing felt that all his efforts were worth it.
"Did Ziyu give all the money from his private treasury to Shu'er as New Year's money?" Thinking of so many banknotes, Murong Shu joked with Wen Jing.
"If the money is gone, Ziyu can earn it again. As long as Shu'er is happy, that's all." Wen Jing didn't care about the banknotes at all. If he wasn't afraid of scaring the little girl, he would have wanted to move all his private treasury to the little girl.
"I have a gift for you too. It's not well embroidered, so Zi Yu can't dislike it." Murong Shu handed the purse that she had spent a long time learning to embroider to Wen Jing. Xiao Tao told her that if she liked a man, she must embroider a purse for him, so for some reason she also embroidered one.
"I like it very much, thank you Shu'er." Wen Jing didn't expect Murong Shu to give him a purse. He was very happy that his little girl cared about him so much.
"I learned this from Xiaotao and the others. Only Ziyu has it." Murong Shu said a little embarrassedly.
"I knew that I was a special person in Shu'er's heart." Wen Jing flirted with her without realizing it, and Murong Shu became shy.
Wen Jing, who had said a few love words from time to time along the way, didn't realize it, but every word he said hit Murong Shu's heart. Looking at the handsome young man in front of him, Murong Shu couldn't help but act like a hooligan after all. After all, a kiss was not against the law!
Before getting off the carriage, he kissed Wen Jing and then ran away, leaving Wen Jing alone in the carriage, grinning foolishly.
