Meng Ji returned to the courtyard and looked at the betrothal gift on the table, her eyes darkened.
Mengji felt depressed and wandered alone on the street.
As she walked, Qian Jue's figure appeared in her mind.
Meng Ji secretly thought, if Wu Jie can marry me, I will agree to marry him. If not, I would rather be alone for the rest of my life than let others get involved with my man.
Unknowingly, I came to a small alley, which was Menghan's residence.
"How did I get here?"
Meng Ji said to herself doubtfully.
"Mrs. Meng, why are you here?" Suddenly, a young man walked over.
Meng Ji turned around and found that the person standing behind her was Qian Jue.
Qian Jue: "Is there any reason why Mrs. Meng came to Humble House?"
Meng Ji looked at Meng Han and said, "I was just strolling around."
After saying that, Meng Ji turned around and left.
Qian Jue: "Where is Mrs. Meng going?"
Meng Ji turned back to look at Meng Han and said, "I just came out to get some fresh air. I have nothing to do. I'll say goodbye."
Meng Han: "Mrs. Meng, if you need help with anything, Meng is willing to help."
Meng Ji said: "Qianjue, have you really forgotten who I am?"
Qian Jue frowned: "Mrs. Meng, what are you talking about?"
Meng Ji calmed down: "Oh, it's nothing, I'm getting married soon."
Qian Jue: "Oh, congratulations."
Qian Jue continued: "Mrs. Meng, is this all you came here to tell me?"
Meng Ji: "Do you really not remember me? I am the girl in your painting."
Qian Jue frowned: "Have we... known each other before?"
When Meng Ji heard this, she felt a little disappointed. She sighed and said, "You don't remember me, so why are all my paintings in your paintings what I looked like when I was a teenager."
Qian Jue suddenly realized: "You mean... Meng Ji?"
Meng Ji nodded: "Yes."
Qian Jue: "It turns out it's you. We just met each other once. It turns out that the girl still remembers me. I'm really honored."
Meng Ji smiled and said: "Yes, of course I remember you, Meng Han."
Qian Jue said: "Oh, does Mrs. Meng have anything to do with me?"
Meng Ji asked: "I came here just to see you again before getting married."
Qianjue was a little surprised: "What's so interesting about a poor scholar like me? But since I'm here, let's sit in the courtyard and just catch up on old times."
In the Wu Mansion, the Wu family has completed discussions and decided to hold the wedding banquet after the Spring Festival.
Wu Jie thought to himself: "If I let Brother Qianjue come to our wedding banquet this time, Meng Ji will definitely be very happy. Anyway, tonight, I will bring some good wine and visit in person."
Meng Ji and Qian Jue returned to the courtyard.
Qianjue took out a landscape painting and handed it to Meng Ji.
Meng Ji saw that the girl in the painting looked like herself when she was a teenager, with a slight smile on her lips.
Qian Jue said: "I usually paint some landscape paintings, but I always feel that something is missing. When I saw the girl, I painted it. If the girl likes it, just take it out."
Mengji smiled and said: "Young Master, can you have another drink with me? Last time I had a drink with you and wrote poems and I still didn't have enough fun. This time, Mengji wants to have a few more drinks with you."
Qian Jue shook his head: "A girl is about to get married. How can she drink alone with a man and a woman? If word spreads about it, it will bring bad reputation to the girl."
Meng Ji said: "It's still early, I'm just having a drink, it's okay."
Qian Jue said: "This time, I specially hired a master from my hometown to teach me how to paint. This painting was painted by the master. How about taking a look at it, girl?"
Meng Ji picked up the portrait, looked at it carefully and said, "It's really beautiful."
Qian Jue said: "Then let's taste this painting together."
The two drank and chatted.
Unknowingly, the sky had darkened, and the moon rose, emitting soft moonlight, shining on the two of them, making them look even hazier, like a fairyland.
Both of them were a little drunk.
Meng Han looked at the stars in the sky and said, "Look at the stars in the sky, they are just like us, carefree."
Meng Ji looked at the stars in the sky and thought of Qian Jue's appearance as a boy. The two looked at each other, and an inexplicable warmth filled her heart.
Meng Ji said: "Have you really forgotten me?"
Qian Jue looked at Meng Ji and said, "I have never forgotten your appearance in my heart."
Qian Jue looked at Meng Ji and closed her eyes.
The two came close to each other, their lips touching.
Soon, the two became entangled.
Wu Jie came to Qian Jue with wine and saw his fiancée and Meng Han lingering together at the door. He stood there blankly for a while without disturbing them, but left silently.
