In March, the road is filled with mist and clouds, and the birds are flying and the grass is growing.
Murong Shu learned from his sister-in-law Liu Ruyan that there is a tradition of going out for a walk in March to enjoy the spring, which mainly includes spring outings, banquets by the water, etc.
Outing means going to the fields outside the city in spring to enjoy the spring scenery while stepping on the green grass. At this time, the spring is bright and beautiful, and everywhere presents a vibrant scene. It is a good time to travel.
Murong Shu thought about how he had traveled through time around this time last year, and unknowingly, a year had passed since he came here. To celebrate, he made an appointment with a few good friends to go to Huishan Temple for an outing.
The peach blossoms in Huishan Temple are the best in Beijing. Most importantly, it was in Huishan Temple that I first spent time alone with Wen Jing, and also where I first met the little dumpling Wen Yu.
Taking into account the situation of Wen Jing and others, Murong Shu set the time on their day off, and then asked someone to send the invitation out.
When Rong Qing heard that Song Yanran was also going, he drove Mu Siqing out of the yard. Mu Siqing didn't want to go at first, but when he heard Murong Shu say that Wen Jing was also going, he immediately changed his mind. At the same time, he asked Xiao Si to send an invitation to Han Xu and make an appointment to meet at Huishan Temple.
Seeing that his son finally gave up the yard, Rong Qing felt better, thinking that his son went there for Song Yanran. Since the New Year, Song Yanran often came to the Mu Mansion and sometimes stayed for a few days. Murong Shu and Song Yanran would occasionally go to Mu Siqing's yard.
In Rong Qing's eyes, these unintentional things were evidence that his son and Song Yanran had a good impression of each other. Now Rong Qing was more confident about marrying into the Song family, and he was in a very happy mood every day.
It's a day off.
The Mu Mansion sent out three carriages. Liu Ruyan and Mu Sishu took one alone, Mu Siqing and Mu Siyu took one, and Song Yanran and Murong Shu took one.
Wen Jing even brought his little boy Wen Yu to Mu Mansion early in the morning to meet up with Murong Shu and the others before setting off for Huishan Temple.
Mu Siqing and Han Xu had made an appointment in advance. Han Xu waited for them at the city gate, and then took the Mu Mansion's carriage to Huishan Temple.
Originally, Princess Mingyue was going to go, but the Emperor called her into the palace for some urgent matters, so she missed this spring outing.
Ning Xin was a little disappointed that her cousin was not going, but she felt much happier when she thought about Murong Shu being there. They set out directly from Ning Mansion and then met at Huishan Temple.
Because of the presence of little Dumpling Wen Yu, Mu Siyu decisively abandoned his second brother and got on Wen Yu's carriage.
Mu Siqing smiled helplessly. He also wanted to go to the carriage of the Third Master Wen, but Han Xu was also in the carriage. He couldn't abandon his friend. Along the way, the two of them exchanged some reading experiences, and time passed quite quickly.
When Murong Shu and his party's carriage arrived, Ning Xin also arrived. After they greeted each other, they agreed to go to the back mountain together because the scenery there was the most beautiful.
"Everyone follow Yu'er, I know where the best views are." Arriving at Huishan Temple is like arriving at Wen Yu'er's territory. Having lived here for a few years, she has become a living map of this place.
"Yu'er is so awesome. Today we all rely on Yu'er to lead the way." Murong Shu couldn't help but praise her. The little Dumpling who was crying last year seemed to have grown up all of a sudden.
"Don't worry, Sister Mu. Yu'er promises to lead the way for everyone. Brother Yu, hold Yu'er's hand and let's go together." Maybe children prefer children who are older than themselves, so Wen Yu has especially liked to stick to Mu Siyu since the first time she met him.
Mu Siyu nodded and obediently pulled Wen Yu. The two children led the way in front. The scenery became more beautiful as they walked towards the back of the mountain.
Mu Sishu and Liu Ruyan were also filled with emotion. They had not yet been engaged at this time last year, but this year they were married. The two walked arm in arm at the end of the team, enjoying this happy moment.
"Yan'er, when I was here last year, I wanted to marry you home. I didn't expect it to happen so soon." Mu Sishu is still very emotional.
"Do you regret it now, husband?" Liu Ruyan joked with Mu Sishu playfully.
Mu Sishu said lovingly, "I will have no regrets in this life to be able to grow old together with Yan'er."
Although the two are already married, Liu Ruyan still can't change her habit of blushing sometimes. Her husband is a man who is cold on the outside but warm on the inside, and full of sweet words.
As soon as Song Yanran saw Ning Xin, they started playing together, enjoying the scenery along the way and quietly sharing little secrets between girls.
"Sister Yanran, from whom does the young man next to Second Young Master Mu come from? He's so handsome." Ning Xin became curious as soon as she got off the carriage. This was the first time she met Han Xu.
Originally, Song Yanran didn't pay much attention to Han Xu, but when asked by Ning Xin, she looked up and found that it was Han Xu walking with her second cousin. Song Yanran took a closer look and found that he was even more scholarly than before, and his appearance was comparable to that of her second cousin, and he was indeed dazzling.
Seeing Song Yanran in a daze, Ning Xin pulled her sleeve and said, "Sister Yanran, don't you recognize that young master? I was just asking casually."
Song Yanran finally came back to her senses and whispered to Ning Xin about Han Xu and how she met him.
Ning Xin couldn't help but exclaimed, "Sister Yanran and Mr. Han are so destined to be together."
Song Yanran said embarrassedly, "It's not fate at all. Madam Han just happened to faint next to my carriage. Shu'er saved her and arranged the job for her. I didn't do anything."
"But Sister Shu'er is Sister Yanran's cousin, they are all family, so they are destined to be together. I saw it written in the sketchbook, hehe." Ning Xin said mischievously.
"Shouldn't I repay my mother's kindness with my own body? Why is Mr. Han different from what is written in the sketchbook?" Ning Xin was still struggling with the story in her sketchbook.
"I told you to read less picture books. They are all lies. Let's go quickly. There is a sea of flowers ahead. I'll take you to see them." Song Yanran felt embarrassed by what Ning Xin said, and pulled her and walked forward quickly.
"Sister Yanran, are you angry? I will throw away the sketchbook when I get back. I will listen to you, Sister Yanran." Ning Xin was dragged away, still mumbling.
Mu Siqing and Han Xu are here.
He felt it when Song Yanran looked at him just now, but he didn't dare to look at her openly until Song Yanran pulled Ning Xin and walked quickly forward.
The little girl was bright, outgoing, lively and lovely, but he didn't even have the qualifications to stand next to her.
"Brother Han, what are you looking at?" Mu Siqing saw Han Xu staring at his cousin and Ning Xin, with a bitter and strange look on his face, and asked Han Xu.
"It's okay, Brother Mu, let's go find Brother Wen. We are the only two left behind." Han Xu successfully changed the subject.
Mu Siqing didn't think too much about it. He followed Han Xu and quickened his pace to catch up with Wen Jing and his group.
