Sir Song, do you want to pledge yourself to me?

On the Double Ninth Festival on September 9th, four days before the provincial examination, the two sisters Qiu Shili and Qiu Shizao specially invited Ji Nuan, Chen Rong and Qiao Qiao to go to the eastern suburbs to enjoy the autumn.

Ji Nuan thought that since everyone was going there to have fun, she might as well invite more people to add to the lively atmosphere.

So, the Ji family sent out three carriages.

One car was occupied by Ji Chuan and Fu Jiangzhou, driven by the Feng Ji brothers; one car was occupied by Ji Nuan, Ji Wei and her cousin Xue Qing, driven by Ma Duo Xue Bi; the last car was filled with children, guarded by Liu An and driven by Zhong Heming.

It is autumn, and the mountains and forests in the eastern suburbs are decorated with brilliant autumn colors, like nature's most proud painting, colorful and beautiful.

Qiu Shili, Qiu Shizao, and their brother Qiu Shishen had been waiting for a long time in the flat land in the eastern suburbs where clematis was everywhere.

When Ji Nuan and his group arrived, their faces instantly broke into bright smiles and they came forward to greet them warmly.

"Sister Nuannuan, you are finally here!" Qiu Shizao excitedly took Ji Nuan's arm, his face full of joy.

"Shi Zao, Shi Li, there were many of us here, so we delayed quite a bit of time and kept you waiting." Ji Nuan responded with a smile, and nodded to Qiu Shishen who was behind them.

Qiu Shili smiled brightly, her dimples showing. "We just arrived a short while before you, so there's no need to wait too long."

"Sister Nuannuan, are these all your friends?" Qiu Shili looked curiously at the people who were getting off the carriage.

"Taqiu is more lively when there are more people, so I called everyone in my family who is of similar age." Ji Nuan introduced with a smile, "This is my cousin Ji Wei, my third brother Ji Chuan, and my third brother's classmate Mr. Fu."

Before he finished speaking, Qiu Shishen's face lit up with a smile of surprise when he saw Fu Jiangzhou. He quickly stepped forward and said, "Brother Jiangzhou, it really is you! You've rarely appeared in public since you were injured. It's been a long time since we last met. I didn't expect to meet you here again today." He looked at Fu Jiangzhou carefully, his eyes full of concern. "Brother Jiangzhou, how is your recovery now?"

Fu Jiangzhou saw his former classmate Qiu Shishen, and his face was also filled with smiles. "Thank you for your concern, Brother Qiu. It is a great honor to be able to take the autumn exam with you."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Shishen was genuinely happy for him. "Really? That's great! That's truly wonderful! Brother Jiang Zhou, with your talent, I believe you'll be on the list of the Autumn Examination and realize your ambitions!"

The two of them, having not seen each other for a long time, began to exchange pleasantries, seemingly with endless things to say. Just then, five or six little kids came running over, chattering and clutching colorful kites. Qiu Shishen then realized there were other people present, and he quickly changed the subject, introducing himself and his two sisters.

After everyone got to know each other, Ji Nuan asked Liu An to take the children to the side to fly kites first.

In an instant, the children were as joyful as birds out of a cage. The older ones ran in front with kites in tow, while the younger ones chased after them with excited shouts. Laughter and joy filled the entire eastern suburbs.

Ji Nuan noticed a hint of envy in Qiu Shizao's eyes, so she jokingly asked, "What's wrong, Shizao? Watching them flying kites, are you itching to try it yourself? I have some in my carriage. Do you want me to get one for you now?"

Qiu Shili quickly refused, "Nuannuan, forget it. It's better to take a look at it early."

Ji Nuan glanced at Fu Jiangzhou and the other men who were talking in the distance and asked bluntly, "Are you worried about her heart disease?"

"You know?" Qiu Shili was shocked when she heard this, and couldn't help but mutter to herself in her heart, could it be that her sister was too naive and told Ji Nuan such a private matter?

You know, women have always paid attention to their reputation, especially unmarried women. If they have any hidden illness or flaws, it will be regarded as a taboo. Often only family members know about it, and it is kept secret from outsiders for fear that it will affect their future marriage.
