Jiang Wanru heard the sound of the courtyard gate being knocked, and the voices outside the courtyard were no longer as before. She quickly tidied up the table and quietly listened to the commotion outside. Sure enough, after a while, the sounds of laughter and conversation continued outside, but Jiyan's footsteps approached, and she lightly tapped on the door. Jiang Wanru let out a soft sigh and said, "Come in."

  Ji Yan pushed open the door and stood at the entrance, saying to Jiang Wanru: "Miss, Eldest Miss has sent Yueshu Sister over to ask after your well-being. She also said that when you have some free time, please go to her courtyard to play." Jiang Wanru responded with a faint "en". Ji Yan smiled slightly and turned around to speak to Yueshu, who was still standing at the entrance of the courtyard.

  Yuexiu had come to deliver a message for the fifth time, and she heard Jiyuan say: "Sister Yuexiu, my mistress just said 'en'." A thin layer of anger rose on Yuexiu's face, and she loudly asked Jiyuan: "My mistress asks us to pay respects to Third Miss every three days, how can we get such a cold response from Third Miss?" Jiyuan lowered her head and softly said: "Sister Yuexiu, my mistress has always been like this, don't be angry."

  Yuexiu walked away with two little maids, and Jiyuan, still young, also learned to let out a long sigh like her mother before closing the courtyard door. When Yuexiu came for the third time to deliver a message, she saw that her own miss was as calm as Mount Tai, not making any noise or expression, and couldn't help but tell her mother about it again. Her mother listened and sighed, saying: "Your miss has plenty of free time every day, and since big miss is sincerely inviting her, they should set a specific time." Then she patted her own daughter's head and said: "You follow your miss, don't think about helping others for no reason."

  Ji Yan walked to Jiang Wanru's room door, thinking that after that day, the young lady no longer mentioned letting her leave, and a smile suddenly appeared on her face. She lightly patted the door and pushed it open with a smile, asking the person inside: "Miss, I'll embroider a handkerchief for you, what kind of flower do you want?" Jiang Wanru looked up at the little maid who was full of enthusiasm and said: "I want a plain-colored handkerchief, I don't like too many flowers." Ji Yan nodded after hearing this: "Hmm, that's just fine with small flowers on the edges."

  Jiang Wanru and Jiyuan have been talking like this lately, she herself no longer speaks much, but instead tidies up the table. Looking at Jiyuan, she says: "Now it's not snowing outside, you don't need to guard me every day. Go out and play." Jiyuan doesn't move her body, but looks at Jiang Wanru and says: "Miss, I'll accompany you for a walk around the yard." When Jiang Wanru hears this, she becomes angry, only saying to her: "Jiyuan, stay here in peace, I won't drive you away." Hearing this, Jiyuan smiles.

  Two people were talking, and outside there was another voice, when the courtyard door creaked open, Jiang Wanruo and Ji Yan stood in the middle of the courtyard. Ji Yan went to open the courtyard door and exclaimed in surprise: "Young Master Lian is here." Jiang Wanruo looked towards the entrance of the courtyard, a gentle and elegant young man with a slight smile on his face, looking at her and saying: "Wanruo sister, long time no see." Such a warm expression made Jiang Wanruo involuntarily follow with a soft call: "Brother Lian is here!"

  Lian Zimo walked into the courtyard with a smile, followed by his servant who was still carrying things. The two maids beside Mrs. Jiang and the two maids beside Jiang Wanyi also trailed behind them. Jixiang hastily rushed into the room, brought over a stool for Jiang Wanyu to sit on, placed it properly, lifted her face with a smile and said to Lian Zimo and Jiang Wanyu: "Young Master, please take a seat, Miss, please take a seat."

  Lian Zimo sat on a square stool, while Jiang Wanting sat on a round one. The two faced each other in the courtyard, where cold winds blew and rules were kept. Lian Zimo glanced at Jiang Wanting's courtyard, then at her, and asked with a smile: "Sister Wanting, now that the weather is warm, how is your body? I saw your elder sister at the Spring Festival gathering last time, and she said you weren't feeling well, which made her worry all the time."

  Jiang Wanru thought about her young age, treating herself as an ordinary child, curiously asking: "Lian Gege, when will the spring appreciation meeting be held?" Lian Zimo smiled and said a date. Jiang Wanru calculated the date in her heart, on the second day of that date, Jiang Yiyu sent her maid to stand at the gate of the courtyard from time to time, showing concern for her.

  Jiang Wanru fell silent for a moment, and Lian Zimuo thought she was unhappy because she hadn't caught up with the group. He smiled and said: "Every year there is a Spring Appreciation Meeting, usually hosted by someone designated by the royal family. This year it's being organized by Princess Chang, and the requirements are particularly strict. For those who have received invitations, apart from bringing one servant, no other companions are allowed to attend. At the Spring Meeting, your elder sister particularly caught the attention and comments of Princess Chang."

  Lian Zimo, the young servant behind him, looked at his master with a proud expression. Jiang Wanyu looked at Jiang Wanyi's two maidservants and smiled complacently. She pretended to be curious and asked: "Is there a reward for spring gatherings? Is there one every season?" Lian Zimo laughed and shook his head, saying: "There are summer gatherings, but they are also held by each family themselves. In autumn, there is the Autumn Appreciation Gathering, and in winter, there is the Snow Viewing Gathering. However, women are rarely invited to attend the Snow Viewing Gathering."

  Lian Zi Mo saw Jiang Wanru nodding repeatedly, and suddenly felt that the young woman in front of him, although not as intelligent and beautiful as Jiang Wan Yi, had a gentle and peaceful aura about her. His face lit up with joy, and he said to Jiang Wanru: "I've written down your name this time, you have some free time to practice those three characters well." The little servant behind him immediately handed over the object in his hand to Lian Zi Mo.

  Lianzi Mo opened it and wrote three papers with the words "Jiang", "Wan" and "Yu". He opened them in front of everyone and instructed Jiang Wan Yu, saying: "This is what I wrote for you to use as a model. When holding the pen, you can use either three fingers or five fingers. Try both ways first and see which one feels more comfortable and writes better. Don't be too impatient when you're just starting out, don't be greedy for perfection. When I was learning to write, I started with regular script, and the model I gave you is also in regular script."

  Jiang Wanmu took the letter and brush from Lian Zimo's hand, looked up at him and said: "Thank you." Lian Zimo gazed at her and said: "You can still work hard now. Next time I come, I will check your handwriting." Jiang Wanmu nodded at him and asked: "Brother Lian, when will you come to see me again?" Lian Zimo heard Jiang Wanmu's words and felt that this little woman was not stupid, she knew his good intentions in her heart. Lian Zimo smiled and thought for a moment before saying: "I need to prepare for the imperial examination, after the examination is over, I will come to see you."

  He saw the question mark in Jiang Wanru's eyes, stood up and smiled: "Next time I come, I will talk to you about the college entrance examination. You understand more things, it's good for you." Jiang Wanru handed over the thing in her hand to Jiyuan to take back, saying: "I will write well." Lian Zimo walked out of the yard, Jiang Wanru followed behind him, listening to him say: "You shouldn't always stay in the yard, go out and have a look around, your body will be better too." Jiang Wanru softly replied: "Yes."
