Chapter 15: Meeting in the garden and inviting each other to go together!



Liu Ruyan took Murong Shu to the garden to see the peonies. Although Liu Ruyan has a lively personality, she is also a talented woman and she loves peonies.

"Shu'er, look at how beautiful these peonies are. The Queen is really amazing. She has cultivated these peonies to be so beautiful."

Seeing Liu Ruyan's face full of admiration, Murong Shu thought she was indeed beautiful, but still inferior to the peonies in modern Luoyang. However, she was really good here.

"Sis Ruyan likes it so much, why don't you try growing a few?"

"I can't do it. It will take up a lot of time to raise them. I'd better not give up." Liu Ruyan didn't believe that she could raise peonies at all.

The two walked in the garden and watched. The further they walked, the clearer the cheers became. Murong Shu couldn't help but ask, "Sister Ruyan, why is it so lively up ahead?"

"Out front, people are competing in pot-tossing, archery, and poetry writing. Shu'er, do you want to go and take a look?" Liu Ruyan looked like she was about to agree to go.

"Can we go too?" Murong Shu didn't understand the rules of the capital. She also wanted to go, but was afraid that she would break the rules by attending the banquet for the first time.

"Of course, this is how everyone usually plays at banquets. Come on, Shu'er, I'll take you to see it. Next time you go to a banquet, you can play with me."

"Okay, but Sister Ruyan, please walk slower and don't fall." Murong Shu wanted to laugh when he saw Ruyan's anxious look.

When the two of them arrived, there were already a lot of people gathered. Liu Ruyan pulled Murong Shu over, and at just one glance, Murong Shu fell in love with her.

In the middle was a young man, dressed in white clothes as white as snow, with delicate features and a handsome face. He sat next to the guqin, making everything around him pale in comparison.

Murong Shu stared at Wen Jing intently, her heart beating wildly. She finally understood what had awakened her in the carriage that day: the feeling of love.

"Shu'er, come back to your senses. The young man in white is Wen Jing, the third son of the Wen family. Although he is well-educated and handsome, no one dares to marry him."

Seeing that Murong Shu was staring at Wen Jing, Liu Ruyan explained anxiously.

"Why?" Murong Shu blurted out. Could it be that such a handsome boy had some quirks, or was he a domestic abuser? Murong Shu thought of eight hundred reasons why Wen Jing should not marry her.

"Young Master Wen is in poor health and rumor has it that he won't live past his twenties." Liu Ruyan whispered to Murong to explain the reason.

"So how old is he this year?"

"There's still half a year before I reach adulthood, so..." Liu Ruyan's voice was filled with regret.

Maybe Murong Shu's gaze was too intense. Wen Jing, who was playing the piano, felt her gaze and raised his head to find out who was looking at him. The moment their eyes met, the world seemed to be muted, and they saw amazement in each other's eyes.

It was as if this person came just for him and they should belong to each other. It was not until the bell on Wen Jing's waist rang that Wen Jing looked at the bell in disbelief, then at Murong Shu, and a bold guess came to his mind.

Wen Zhi and several cousins ​​who were sitting not far from Wen Jing actually heard the bell ringing this time. Their faces were filled with disbelief at first, and then with ecstasy. The ringing of the bell broke the Wen family curse.

"Sister, Yan'er, why are you here?" Mu Sishu hurried over when he saw his sister and the girl he liked.

"Brother, sister Ruyan and I came over to join in the fun." Murong Shu felt a little embarrassed after being caught by his own brother.

"Brother Shu, you are here too. I thought you wouldn't come today." Liu Ruyan greeted Mu Sishu with a blushing face.

"Sister Yan'er, you...are here too." Mu Sishu said a little stutteringly.

Murong Shu, who was standing nearby, saw something interesting and thought that his elder brother and sister Ruyan might be a couple. It was as if he had found sweetness, and Murong Shu's gossipy heart was instantly ignited.

Murong Shu looked at the two of them with gossip on his face. They were talented and beautiful, with complementary personalities. Their mothers were close friends, and they were childhood sweethearts. They also had feelings for each other, so it would be against heaven's will if they didn't get married right there.

"Miss Mu Wu!" Murong Shu was enjoying herself happily when she was suddenly interrupted by a pleasant male voice. She looked up and found Wen Jing standing in front of her.

Murong Shu was a little confused. She didn't do anything, just eating some candy and melon. Why would Wen Jing call her? But his voice was so nice! It was as deep as a cello, which was fatal to Murong Shu, who was obsessed with sound.

"Hello, Third Young Master Wen." Although Murong Shu was obsessed with Wen Jing's voice and beauty, he still returned the greeting generously.

"Sister, let me introduce you. This is the third young master of the Wen family, Zi Jingyu." Mu Sishu introduced him to his sister.

"Third Young Master, this is my sister Murong Shu. She just returned not long ago." The two greeted each other again, officially getting to know each other.

Wen Jing felt warm all over and relaxed like never before. This feeling came from Murong Shu, so he instinctively walked over to say hello, and his body uncontrollably wanted to get closer to Murong Shu.

In addition to the ringing of the bell, the real feeling from his body clearly told him that Murong Shu was the person he was looking for, and the person his Wen family had been waiting for.

Wen Jing was extremely excited, happy and grateful. Although he was a very restrained person, he almost lost his composure at this moment. His clenched fists showed his nervousness at the moment.

Wen Jing took a deep breath to calm himself down, and said to the others, "Brother Mu, let's take Miss Liu and Miss Mu to have a look over there. There are some activities suitable for girls to play."

"Yan'er, does your sister want to go?" Mu Sishu did not agree directly but asked his sister and Liu Ruyan first.

Murong Shu was naturally willing to have the handsome guy accompany her, and Liu Ruyan was naturally happy to be with her lover. They both nodded to Mu Sishu.

Murong Shu secretly observed Wen Jing and thought that he didn't look seriously ill, so how come there were rumors that he would not live past his twenties?

But thinking about Miss Mu Wu's fate of dying young, if she hadn't traveled through time, she would not have lived past the age of sixteen. Although she believed in science, her time travel made her feel awe for some things.

After thinking this through, Murong Shu stopped worrying and turned to ask Wen Jing, "Third Master Wen, would you be willing to introduce the rules of these games to me?"

Wen Jing didn't expect Murong Shu to suddenly talk to him. After a moment's pause, he bowed and said, "Of course I am very happy to do so."

Wen Jing calmed himself down and patiently introduced to Murong Shu the games played in the garden today.

When the deep and magnetic voice sounded in Murong Shu's ears, Murong Shu felt that he had no regrets in his life. This voice coupled with that handsome face made Murong Shu fall in love with it.

Fortunately, Murong Shu remembered that this was ancient times, not modern times, otherwise she would definitely ask, "Brother, are you interested in a relationship?"

Mu Sishu and Liu Ruyan were also attracted by Wen Jing's explanation. Liu Ruyan looked up at Murong Shu and Wen Jing and felt that the two were inexplicably well-matched, and the aura around them seemed as if they were born to be together.
