After arriving at the back mountain of Huishan Temple, everyone had different paces and interests, so we gradually went our separate ways.
Little Dumpling Wen Yu and Mu Siyu went to Little Dumpling's secret base together, leaving Wen Jing and Murong Shu behind.
The back mountain is very beautiful in spring. Murong Shu likes this kind of scenery very much. Wen Jing has been in court for a while, and his temperament has become more restrained. The young man who was once as gentle as jade now looks more charming.
Although Wen Jing now works for his father, he still works very hard and is now able to handle things with ease. Therefore, Wen Jing has been very busy recently and is sometimes still busy even during his days off.
Although he had less time to meet Murong Shu, Wen Jing would ask Murong Shu out to play whenever he was free. He also often gave Murong Shu small gifts and wrote letters to share his feelings.
Maybe it was a habit for Wen Jing to take some time out from his busy schedule to share his life with the little girl, but for Murong Shu it was very romantic.
Every time Murong Shu received a letter from Wen Jing, the words "In the past, the carriages were slow, the letters were far away, and there was only enough time to love one person in a lifetime" would pop up in his mind.
It's a rare opportunity to go out today, and it's time to be alone, so Wen Jing is very much looking forward to and excited.
"Shu'er, shall we go to the peach forest first and then to the marriage wishing tree?" Wen Jing really wanted to go to the marriage wishing tree with Murong Shu and hang up the wishing board with their own hands. He wanted to grow old together with his Shu'er.
Murong Shu was very interested in the marriage wishing tree and said happily, "Okay, I didn't go there last year, so I must go and see it this year."
"The worthwhile scenery and worthwhile people are right in front of us. It will be more meaningful to go this year." Wen Jing naturally took Murong Shu's hand. He felt that the most worthwhile person was right in front of him.
Murong Shu was in a very good mood as Wen Jing held her hand. Her Tzuyu was really getting better and better at saying sweet words.
The two held hands and looked very well matched from behind. It was not until they walked away that Song Yanran let go of Ning Xin's hand, and the two walked out from behind an ancient tree.
Ning Xin was finally able to speak, and asked in surprise, "Sister Yanran, Sister Shu'er and Mr. Wen San are actually a couple?"
"You just realized it after seeing her so many times? Doesn't your sketchbook teach you how to find out?" Thinking of Ning Xin's obsession with the sketchbook, he joked with a smile.
"I usually watch secretly and dare not let my mother know. How would she know all this? No wonder every time I see Sister Shu'er, Young Master Wen is there. So that's why. It's all my fault for being too stupid." Ning Xin was a little annoyed. She should have discovered it earlier.
"Okay, don't be upset. What difference would it make if you knew it earlier? Besides, isn't this feeling of sudden discovery more exciting?" Song Yanran took Ning Xin's arm and comforted her.
"Does it mean that my cousin also knows, and all of you know, but I'm the only one who doesn't know?" Ning Xin asked unwillingly. Normally, everyone was very calm when they met. There was only one possibility, that everyone knew.
"Of course not, after all, you still have Yu to accompany you!" It would have been better if Song Yanran hadn't said this, because after she said this, Ning Xin became even sadder.
"Wow, I'm so stupid, but Sister Shu'er has such good taste. Look how well she matches with Young Master Wen San. They're a talented man and a beautiful woman, a match made in heaven." The more Ning Xin looked at them, the more she felt that they were a perfect match.
"Who said it wasn't? We are all optimistic about them. Look at the Third Master Wen. He is gentle and considerate in front of Shu'er, but he is very decisive and swift in the court." Song Yanran recalled her father's recent evaluation of Wen Jing and said to Ning Xin.
"I know this. This is what the picture book says: there is always someone stronger than you. Third Master Wen likes Sister Shu'er, so he is special to her." This time, Ning Xin finally felt how apt the description in the picture book was.
"Oh, this time the description is very apt. It seems that our Xin'er has finally read the right picture book." Song Yanran smiled and walked forward with Ning Xin's arm.
"Sister Yanran, can you tell me the story between Sister Shu'er and Young Master Wen? Xin'er feels like she has missed too much. Please, Sister Yanran." Ning Xin really wanted to gossip about Murong Shu and Wen Jing, and she shook Song Yanran's arm and acted coquettishly.
Song Yanran was dizzy from her shaking, so she reached out to stop her and said, "Stop shaking, isn't it enough for me to tell you? You're making me dizzy."
"Sister Yanran is the best! I will definitely not waver again." Ning Xin was very happy to hear that Song Yanran was willing to share with her, and then the two of them walked and talked happily.
Murong Shu and Wen Jing have successfully reached the marriage wishing tree. As it is a good time for spring outings, there are many people visiting the back mountain of Huishan Temple, and many unmarried men and women have gathered at the marriage wishing tree. The more people make a wish, the more effective it is.
Murong Shu and Wen Jing also followed others and wrote their wishes on the wishing board, and then Wen Jing hung it on the tree. Of course, the higher the better.
This wishing tree is very old. Its weathered trunk tells of the vicissitudes and beauty of time. People can't help but feel that it can help you realize your wishes and continue the beauty.
When Song Yanran and Ning Xin came over, they just missed Murong Shu and Wen Jing.
"Sister Yanran, why can't I see Sister Shu'er and Young Master Wen San." Ning Xin looked around but didn't see the people she was looking for.
"Didn't you insist on coming here to make a wish? Why are you looking for them again? It looks like we were following them on purpose." Song Yanran knew that Ning Xin was a lively girl, but she didn't expect her to be so gossipy and curious.
"Then let's make a wish first. This year I will hang my wish at the highest place. May all my wishes come true." Although Ning Xin wanted to gossip about Murong Shu and Wen Jing, she wanted to make a wish even more.
"I thought Xin'er was going to make a wish to find an ideal husband!" Song Yanran joked.
"Sister Yanran is so annoying. I won't talk to you anymore. I'm going to get a wishing card." Ning Xin felt a little embarrassed by Song Yanran's teasing, so she ran to queue up to get a wishing card, leaving Song Yanran alone.
Song Yanran comes to the marriage wishing tree every year, but has never made a wish. Today she also wants to hang a wishing board for herself: I wish to win the heart of one person and stay together until we grow old.
Ning Xin quickly took the wishing cards back, one for her and one for Song Yanran, and then the two girls began to carve words on them carefully.
Ning Xin said as she carved, "It would be great if my cousin came today. She's good at carving and could help us hang the wishing plaque on it."
"If you are sincere, your wish will come true." Song Yanran comforted Ning Xin after hearing what she said.
The two of them finished writing in a short while, and then they began to look for their favorite branches to hang the wishing cards. Song Yanran chose a place where there were fewer wishing cards, and tried several times on tiptoe but failed to hang it up. Song Yanran was a little discouraged.
At this time, a slender hand took her wishing card and hung it on the place where she just wanted to hang it. Song Yanran turned around in surprise and almost fell because of the uneven road behind her. Fortunately, a pair of strong hands held her steadily.
