Extra episode 1: 08 The lost toy

Jing Xi stood in front of the window next door and saw Meng Wanzhou leaning out of the window while tossing the bouquet.

My heart felt like it was blocked by cotton. It didn't hurt, but it was very tight.

Turning around with a puff of sleeves, he left the window, sat down at the table, and picked up the tea cup.

Jingyang twirled the tea cup, thoughtfully, observing Jing Xi's expression, his eyes flashed slightly, and said: "What's wrong? Do you feel uncomfortable when you see Meng Wanzhou throwing flowers at others?"

Two or three years ago, Meng Wanzhou often threw flowers to Jing Xi.

After her grandfather passed away and her family fell into decline, she no longer attended gatherings of upper-class nobles and no longer expressed her love for Jing Xi.

Jing Xi rolled her eyes, "I won't feel bad. She is ugly and heartless, and I can't despise her."

Jingyang smiled and said, "Tough talk."

Jing Xi pouted, "I'm not being arrogant. If I fell in love with her, I wouldn't let her get engaged to someone else."

He is not a humble person.

Jingyang calmly analyzed: "Maybe it's the feeling of someone picking up a toy you don't like."

Even if a toy you don't like is thrown into a corner and gathers dust, it still belongs to you. But if it is suddenly picked up by someone, you still feel like your belongings are lost and possessed by others.

Jing Xi thought for a while, "It really feels like that."

But it seems not.

He couldn't explain it clearly, so he put the matter behind him.

In the private room next door, Mrs. Mu secretly watched Yin Wenxiu look at Mu Yanheng's obsessed look, with a calculating look in her eyes.

Mu Yanheng has now become a hot commodity, and he can definitely find a wife who can help him better.

As for being engaged to Meng Wanzhou, that is not a problem. You can marry an equal wife or let Meng Wanzhou become a child.

In her eyes, her son was extremely good, even worthy of a princess.

At the Qionglin banquet, the emperor announced the appointments of the top three. Xu was to make up for the fact that Mu Yanheng was appointed third. Although he was not allowed to stay in the capital, he was still within the jurisdiction of the capital.

He was appointed magistrate of Fang County, seventy miles away from the capital. Under the emperor's rule, as long as he did well, he had a high chance of being transferred back to the capital in three years.

Of course, if something is not done well, the emperor will easily know about it.

Personal ability cannot be measured by exams alone. Doing well in exams does not necessarily mean you will be good as an official.

Therefore, new students have to start from the bottom, and then officials are selected based on their ability.

After attending the emperor's Qionglin Banquet, the Meng Mansion held a celebration banquet for Mu Yanheng. Firstly, it was to celebrate, and secondly, it was to expand Mu Yanheng's connections.

Mrs. Mu also left a message for Yin Wenxiu. Meng Wanzhou thought that Yin Wenxiu would not come to such a lower-class gathering, but unexpectedly Yin Wenxiu came that day.

Meng Wanzhou felt that she was so proud that she asked Yin Wenxiu to sit at the same table with her.

Also sitting at this table were Mrs. Meng, Mrs. Mu and several other close female relatives. It can be seen that she regarded Yin Wenxiu as her closest friend.

Although men and women were seated separately, as today's protagonist, Mu Yanheng had to toast everywhere.

"Tanhua Lang is here to offer a toast!" Someone said, and Mu Yanheng and Master Meng came to the banquet hall where the female guest was.

As the host, Mr. Meng said a few words of thanks, and then led Mu Yanheng to toast to each table.

Mu Yanheng was wearing a blue long-sleeved robe, with a tall and tall body, as tall as a pine tree. His handsome face was flushed with wine, and his smile was even more charming.

Everyone thinks that this is the most handsome young master besides the emperor, Jing Xi and Jing Yang.

Meng Wanzhou's fair cheeks were covered with two red clouds, as red as rouge.

Many unmarried girls blushed and stared at the handsome face of the newly minted beauty, their hearts pounding in their hearts.

Mu Yanheng came to Meng Wanzhou's table and first said to Mrs. Meng: "Thank you, aunt, for taking care of Xiaosheng!"

Mrs. Meng smiled and said: "We are all members of our family, why are you so polite? In more than a month, you should call me mother-in-law."

Mu Yanheng's face turned even redder, and he looked at Meng Wanzhou happily. He met her eyes, and he blinked at her slightly. Meng Wanzhou immediately turned away shyly, his ears turned red.

, a shy smile hung on the corners of her lips.

Mu Yanheng saw her smiling face, as delicate as a flower budding in the morning mist. Her long and dense eyelashes covered her eyes as she lowered her eyes. Her pretty little nose was beautifully shaped and she pursed her lips slightly.

Her lips are as red as Danxia.

He thought that she was about to become his bride, and he was very happy.

Meng Wanqiu's eyes were red with jealousy, and his resentment was undisguised.

Yin Wenxiu had a slight smile on her lips and looked at Mu Yanheng intently, her eyes shining brightly.

At this time, a maid came to serve food, and she happened to pass by Yin Wenxiu. The maid was walking steadily, but for some reason, she suddenly tripped and the soup in her hand spilled towards Yin Wenxiu.

Mu Yanheng saw it and hurriedly said: "Be careful."

Meng Wanzhou sat next to Yin Wenxiu, and with quick eyes and hands, she held the maid's hand to prevent her from falling.

Even so, some soup splashed on Yin Wenxiu's clothes.

Meng Wanzhou's heart skipped a beat and she quickly asked Yin Wenxiu, "Is it too hot?"

Everyone thought Yin Wenxiu would get angry, but unexpectedly she said: "It's okay."

Then, he hurriedly asked the maid: "Have you been burned?"

The maid was about to kneel down and kowtow to apologize, but she didn't expect that Yin Wenxiu turned around and cared about her. She was immediately moved to tears and said, "You deserve to die, Miss Yin. Are you okay?"

Yin Wenxiu shook her head slightly and comforted her in a gentle voice: "You didn't mean it. You should be careful when you walk in the future."

After speaking, he glanced at Meng Wanzhou secretly. That look was profound.

Meng Wanzhou was sitting next to Yin Wenxiu. Everyone was a master of home fighting. Seeing Yin Wenxiu's expression would inevitably open up their imaginations and let them use their rich imaginations.

This maid was walking so well, why did she suddenly stumble?

If Yin Wenxiu hadn't dodged away, wouldn't the soup have been poured on Yin Wenxiu's face?

Meng Wanzhou felt everyone's gaze and was a little confused.

But she was not stupid. She also sensed something in their eyes, and she felt a little unhappy at the moment.

Mu Yanheng also saw the meaning in everyone's eyes, and was a little unhappy. He said to the maid: "You should be more careful. Fortunately, Wan Zhou helped you, otherwise not only would you have been burned, but others would have been burned as well."

After his reminder, everyone immediately realized that it was Meng Wanzhou who supported the maid and prevented Yin Wenxiu from being burned. It was definitely not a small trick on her part.

Yin Wenxiu immediately said to Meng Wanzhou: "Yes, thank you very much Wanzhou!"

Meng Wanzhou was still frightened: "You're welcome. If it wasn't for Yan Heng's reminder, I wouldn't have seen the maid come to deliver the food."

This means that she didn't see the maid bringing soup at all, so how could she deliberately trip her?

Meng Wanqiu rolled her eyes and said with a smile: "My future brother-in-law really protects my sister."

This implies that Mu Yanheng is suspected of harboring Meng Wanzhou.
