Mu Mingzhou saw him for the first time in Jiyuan Pavilion. His mother said that her daughter should not have private meetings with foreign men before she left the pavilion. But he was so good-looking and his features were bright, even Su Xi could see the fondness in her eyes.
Another time when he, the sixth son of Fuyuan General Qiutinghou, was getting married, she went with her father and mother to congratulate her. When she got off the carriage, she saw him getting out of the carriage. He also saw her, so he approached and said, "Sister Qiu is here to congratulate you too?"
"Yes, the six sons of Marquis Qiuting are very happy. It is fitting that I should celebrate with my father and mother." She didn't know why he asked like this, so she answered randomly according to etiquette.
"I heard from your brother that you don't want to come to such a polite reception, so why are you willing to go today?" He joked.
She looked ashamed and had no choice but to confess: "My brother said that if I go with them today, he will take me to buy Jiyuan Pavilion's Begonia Cake for the Lantern Festival the day after tomorrow. If mother is right and the time is right, we can also go guessing lantern riddles. Do you think it's a good deal?"
He laughed immediately after hearing what she said seriously. When she heard his laughter, her face suddenly burned up, and she felt more and more ashamed. She wished she could bury her head in her clothes before she could give up.
Fortunately, her mother called her and finally solved her problem.
Everything yesterday and today were all imprinted in her heart.
But, in this world, she can't say anything.
Only Su Xi understood why the young lady used the square colored glass tea cups in spring, summer, autumn and winter.
Later, everyone said that He Yanxin, the youngest of the Duke of He State, was going to marry the granddaughter of the old Marquis of Jing'an. She drank wine from that square tea cup for the first time.
