Gu Xu wiped away a tear from the corner of his eye and lowered his head to hide his inner emotions.

"Nothing, the strong wind blinded my eyes."

Gu Ci and Gu An looked around.

They are in the house, where does the wind come from?

In the past, what Jin Ruoyun could not understand the most was her eldest son, but at this moment she understood.

He was also sad and heartbroken for that silly girl.

A person who can give up his life for the one he loves truly loves to the core.

Even though the Jin family fell into poverty, she never despised her son.

Such a noble-minded woman is not worthy of his eight hundred sons.

Jin Ruoyun was excited.

Her son is eighteen years old this year, and it is old enough for him to marry a wife.

She must not miss such a good daughter-in-law!

But, Duan Shuhe?

She couldn't remember whose daughter was named that.

Jin Yuanyuan was a little surprised to see that they were silent.

[Why are you all silent? What's going on with the sudden silence? ]

[Are you going to Taiqing Temple or not? I want to see the two of them meet. Maybe the result of this life will be different. My mother has awakened, and my brother may fall in love with my sister-in-law.]

After hearing her daughter's voice, Jin Ruoyun became more determined to bring them together.

"Let's meet at Taiqing Temple tomorrow."

"Mom, I want to go too. Please take me with you!" Gu An raised his hand anxiously.

Big brother encounters love, this is such a big event, he must be there to watch it from the front row!

Gu Ci looked at him suspiciously, "Didn't you say you didn't want to go, but wanted to make clay bird eggs? Why do you want to go again?"

Gu An glanced at Gu Xu and racked his brains to make up an excuse.

"Bird eggs can be picked at any time. I'd better go for a walk with them. Maybe I can find duck eggs or goose eggs."

Gu Ci: “…”

Gu Xu: “…………”

Their mother tongue is speechless.

Early the next morning.

It rained all night last night, luckily it cleared up today.

Dingxiang was instructing her servant to pack up their things, and she went into the house to report.

"Madam, everything is ready. There are warm blankets in the carriage, so the young lady will not be exposed to the wind."

Jin Ruoyun always trusts Ding Xiang in doing things.

As soon as she walked out of her yard holding Jin Yuanyuan, she saw Gu Xingcheng walking towards Old Lady Gu's yard in a huff.

Doukou rolled her eyes and said, "When he saw the mistress of the house, he didn't even say hello. He has no manners at all. No wonder he got beaten!"

At first, she thought that Mrs. Gu and her daughter were good friends, but the more they got along, the more she felt that they were unruly and arrogant.

Jin Ruoyun looked at Doukou in confusion, "Who was beaten?"

Speaking of this, Doukou wanted to laugh, "It was Master Gu Xingcheng. He slept well last night, and I don't know who came in and hit him with a club. In the morning, he was angry at us servants."

Jin Ruoyun looked at Gu Ci and Gu An, and they both lowered their heads guiltily.

"He deserves it!"

Hearing their mother say this, they both straightened their backs immediately.

After his mother carried his sister onto the carriage, Gu Ci carried Gu An onto the horse.

Seeing this, Gu Xu shouted, "Let's go, get on the road."

Ding Mo drove the carriage towards Taiqing Temple.

Jin Yuanyuan, who was in the carriage, rolled her eyes because of the shaking.

[This carriage is really not suitable for ordinary people to ride. It is too bumpy. Woohoo, I am about to spit out the milk I just drank. Cough cough cough.]

"Ding Mo, drive the carriage slower and more steadily." Jin Ruoyun said to Ding Mo who was driving the carriage.

Ding Mo: "Yes, ma'am."

The carriage slowed down, and Jin Yuanyuan's discomfort gradually subsided.

Suddenly, the carriage stopped.

Ding Mo looked at the carriage blocking the road not far ahead.

"Madam, it seems that the carriage in front is from the Jiang Mansion. It rained last night and they got stuck in the mud."

Dingxiang helped Jin Ruoyun get out of the car. When they got closer, they saw that it was indeed the Jiang family's carriage.

Jin Ruoyun is a close friend of Jiang's elder sister, so she will definitely help.

Gu Xu and the other two also dismounted and went over to help.

When Jin Yuanyuan heard that it was the Jiang family, he excitedly scratched the air with his chubby little hands.

[Ahhh, it's my sister-in-law! My sister-in-law is a relative of the Jiang family. Today, they came to Taiqing Temple together. In their previous life, their carriage was also stuck in the mud, but my mother's carriage was driving too fast at that time, so she missed them.]

[So, now Big Brother and Duan Shuhe are going to meet! Ahhh, so excited~]

Jin Ruoyun and the other three paused.

When they learned that Duan Shuhe was sitting in the carriage, they were so nervous that they dared not move.

Gu Xu tried hard to act natural, but the closer he got, the faster his heart beat.

The elder sister of the Jiang family also got off the carriage. "What bad luck! How did we get stuck?! We still have to go and burn incense. Hurry up!"

While urging his attendant, he helped the other person in the carriage down.

Gu Xu saw a slim woman in a dark blue dress getting off the carriage.

She had black hair like clouds, red lips and white teeth, her figure was straight, her temperament was as faint as orchids, and she wore orchid hairpins in her hair. She looked lively and agile with every move she made.

There is a sense of elegance and refinement in her every gesture and movement.

[Wow, it turns out that the eldest sister-in-law is so beautiful. She must have made the eldest brother crazy about her. ]

As Gu Xu approached them, his heart skipped a beat.

Is it such a good woman who is willing to kneel down and dress up as a maid for him?

How could Gu Xu deserve such deep affection and friendship?

I felt excited but also guilty.

For the first time, he didn't dare to look someone in the eye. He stood behind Jin Ruoyun with his head down and didn't say a word.

When Jiang's elder sister saw an acquaintance, she immediately went up to hold Jin Ruoyun's hand.

"Ruoyun! You are going to Taiqing Temple too, right? Why didn't you let me know so we can go together?"

The two had known each other since childhood and had a very good relationship, but they seldom interacted with each other after they got married and could only talk at banquets and tea parties.

Jin Ruoyun was very happy to see her good friend, and she shook her hand in return.

"How would I know you were going too? If I had known, I would have definitely dragged you along."

"Which family is this lady from? Why haven't I seen her before?" She couldn't wait to look at Duan Shuhe next to her, with golden light radiating from her eyes.

She could tell at a glance that this girl was a good one and was very satisfied.

The elder sister of the Jiang family pulled Duan Shuhe over and introduced her, "This is my distant niece Duan Shuhe. Her father is a recently transferred official. She rarely comes to Kyoto, so you naturally haven't seen her."

"Shuhe, this is my aunt's best friend. Come over and meet her."

Duan Shuhe stepped forward to greet him, and his every move was graceful and elegant.

Jin Ruoyun grabbed her hand with admiration, "Shuhe, what a nice name. Your carriage is broken, hurry up! Get on our carriage. We are also going to Taiqing Temple, so it's a good opportunity for us to go together."

Duan Shuhe saw Gu Xu at a glance and recognized him.

When I passed by him, I couldn't help but glance up.

With just one glance, she became more certain that he was in her heart all these years.

After getting on the carriage, Jiang's elder sister hugged Jin Yuanyuan lovingly, and loved her very much.

"Your daughter is so beautiful, white and plump, just like the boy under the seat of Taishang Laojun. Just looking at her makes people happy. You..."

She looked up and found that Jin Ruoyun was not listening to her at all.

He kept asking Duan Shuhe questions.

"Shuhe, how old are you this year? Are you married? Do you have any sisters at home? Where do your parents live now? I can visit them someday."

Duan Shuhe blushed when asked and answered them one by one.

"My daughter is sixteen years old and has never been married. She has a younger brother and a younger sister at home."

The more Jin Ruoyun looked, the more satisfied she became, her smile as bright as a peony. Jiang's sister saw something.

When they arrived at Taiqing Temple, she took the opportunity to ask about her suspicions while they were alone.

"Are you attracted to my niece? I've never seen you being so attentive before."
