All night, Meng Yuanjing was lying on the bed and tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. He finally woke up half-dream, but he always had some strange nightmare.

In the dream, he saw Xiao Junyu wearing a white dress prepared for her by plum eyebrows, wearing a scholar's scarf, standing tall and graceful, walking around the snow in the academy square. He was about to go over to greet her, wanting to ask her, "I am your best friend?", but in the blink of an eye, she disappeared... After a while, the dream turned into the night when Xiao Junyu left Qiansi Academy. He watched Xiao Junyu was swallowed by the vast darkness, and he could not agree no matter how he shouted...

He simply got up, came to the window, and opened it.

The moonlight in the yard suddenly shone in, and the "Scenery" emitted a slight red light on the wall.

He took the sword and started dancing in the yard. After practicing the "Wave Five Strings" set, he was far from the tacit understanding he had when he cooperated with Jun Yu. He suddenly remembered that when he saw Jun Yu last time, Jun Yu seemed to have no longer "chasing him".

He sat down on a cold stone chair in the yard, and the fog was thick and his clothes were soaked without even realizing it.

"Yuan Jing, why are you sitting here?"

Meng's mother got up early in the morning to see her son, but the room was empty. She walked out and saw that her son was sitting in the garden with haggard face. She looked at her son's mist in a strange way and said with distress: "Why don't you have a good rest? Why are you sitting here and dazed?"

Meng Yuanjing shook his head and said nothing.

Meng's mother hurriedly said, "Yuan Jing, do you have any worries?"

Meng Yuanjing stood up and said, "Mom, I want to go out."

"Okay, you go out and relax and come back early in the evening."

"No, I'm going to go far. I want to take a leave for a while and leave tomorrow."

"How can that be done? I have agreed to you tomorrow, Mr. Wang, the Grand Secretary of Hanlin, will hold a banquet for you. Mrs. Wang has sent a matchmaker to propose marriage. His daughter is both good and beautiful, and he is a family of poets and scholars. I like it very much..."

"Put all the proposals, I won't go to socialize."

Meng Yuanjing served his mother very filial and never violated his mother's arrangements. Even when he loved the singer Xiang Hongye, his mother disagreed, had to tolerate it and did not dare to disobey her a little bit of fear of hurting her mother's heart.

This was the first time that Meng Mu saw her son's determination, and she was very surprised: "Why should I reject all the proposals? 'There are three no descendants, and you are not young. When will you wait? Moreover, the banquet at Grand Secretary Wang's mansion has been decided. How can I explain to others if I give it a temporary refusal?"

Meng Yuanjing said: "I want to meet a friend. I want to ask her something in person."

Meng's mother was very unhappy: "What kind of friend is more important than your lifelong event?"

"This matter is more important than anything else. If I can't figure it out, I'm afraid I will be unable to feel at ease for the rest of my life."

Maybe it was the son's strange tone, but seeing the son's haggard face that he had never felt before, Meng's mother felt very distressed and couldn't help but relieve her tone: "Who is your friend? Do I know him?"

Meng Yuanjing was silent for a while: "Mom, do you still remember Jun Yu?"

Meng's mother laughed: "Jun Yu? Why don't I know? I haven't heard you say that there are 99 times in 100 times. By the way, before entering Beijing, some of my aristocratic families gathered together. All the female relatives praised Jun Yu, especially Wang Jun's mother and grandmother. They praised Jun Yu so that there was nothing in the sky. His grandmother also regretted that Jun Yu had saved Wang Jun's life. If Wang Jun was a girl, he must make promises and try every means to recruit Jun Yu as his grandson-in-law.

They all envied my son for having such a friend. I heard that many wealthy families in Jiangnan who had daughters were rushing to ask if he had started a family and wanted to propose marriage to him... Haha, at that time, I was a little unhappy. Why, is this Junyu better than my son? Unfortunately, when Junyu arrived in Jiangnan, I was not at home and had never seen you, a friend who was said to be a god... Yuan Jing, when will he invite him to visit his house? Let me see..."

Meng Yuanjing finally had a smile on his face: "Jun Yu, she is better than the rumors you have heard. Mom, if you see her, you will definitely like her very much."

"You're just going to see him?"

"right."

"Mom, have you heard of the person 'Lances'?"

Meng's mother looked at her son in surprise: "Why did you ask about this?"

"What kind of holiday does Lancisi have between her uncle and aunt?"

Meng's mother said unhappy: "What are you asking about this? How did you know about Lancisi?"

"Lanxisi is Jun Yu's mother."

Meng's mother's expression changed drastically. Over the years, she and her younger brother and sister-in-law have never mentioned the name "Lanxisi". Over the past twenty years, she almost forgot the name, but unexpectedly her son asked about it today. She didn't expect that Lanxisi's son was her son's best friend.

"Did my uncle and aunt do something that I'm sorry for Lances?"

Meng's mother sighed: "Your uncle has passed away, what else can I say?"

"Uncle, he has been depressed over the years and has a bad relationship with his aunt. This is the main reason why he died so early, right?"

Meng's mother remembered her younger brother who had passed away and sighed: "Your aunt's family background, character, and appearance are good. I really don't understand why your uncle has been resentful..."

"What about Lancisi? Isn't Lancisi good?"

"To be honest, I don't like Lancisi. A girl who doesn't stick to her own affairs in the boudoir, embroidery and weaving, and performs her moral character, but she is competitive all day long, fighting and killing, and even wants to be the leader of the martial arts world, which is a world of upset in the world. Why isn't it hateful?"

"Lancisi is an orphan. Maybe it's because no one has disciplined since childhood, very wild, and has been very arrogant since his debut. Our family is a traditional aristocratic family, but later the crowds are not strong, so I have to be two brothers and my uncle and sister. Your uncle was a famous teacher in his childhood and his swordsmanship is very good, so the family has high expectations for him. Perhaps it was a coincidence that your uncle liked Lancisi very much as soon as he met her. The two of them were in harmony and could not even stop her at home."

"Once, your grandfather came forward to warn Lanceysi himself, asking her not to make trouble and not to bother your uncle anymore, but was rejected by Lanceysi. Your grandfather wanted to teach her a lesson, but he did not expect Lanceysi to proudly say that he never competed with someone who was too far from him. Your grandfather was also very famous, but after this, he became seriously ill. But your uncle didn't blame Lancysi for being rude, but blamed the family for not treating Lancysi like that, and simply ran away from home.

"Just when we were all deeply desperate, Lancisi broke up with your uncle for some reason. No matter how your uncle requested, he refused to change his mind. When he learned that your uncle was going to marry your aunt, the whole family was ecstatic. However, no one would have thought that your uncle would be in such a situation after marriage... Alas."

"Lancisi is actually a very conflicted person. Although I have only seen her twice and don't like her very much, sometimes I think of her and admire her peerless martial arts and profound knowledge, her words and deeds, and her bright smile. In short, she is the kind of person you will never forget once. Alas, for decades, I have never seen it in any other woman, so many years later, when I saw your uncle's depressed appearance, I couldn't help but hate her for abandoning your uncle back then..."

Meng's mother sighed: "Lanxisi is so ruthless, far less tender and considerate than your aunt. I really don't know what your uncle thought during his lifetime..."

Meng Yuanjing remembered the long story about the grudges between Lancisi, uncle and aunt told by the "Love Demon" in "Hanjing Garden", and felt that it was still a little hot at this moment, and couldn't help but say loudly: "This is not necessarily the case."

Meng's mother said suspiciously: "What do you know about the grudges between elders?"

Meng Yuanjing shook his head. His uncle had passed away. Lan Xisi had passed away earlier. With Shi Lanni's sisters entering the palace, only his aunt was left to live alone. What's the point of mentioning these things now?

So he didn't mention the story of "Love Demon" with his mother, but said, "I won't ask about those past things."

Meng's mother said, "I really didn't expect Jun Yu to be Lan Xisi's son. However, I was a little dissatisfied when I heard Wang Jun's grandmother praise him so much that there was nothing in the sky. I guess it was because he had saved Wang Jun, so it was possible to exaggerate him. No matter how good a person in the world is, how could he be better than my son?"

"There is no better person in this world than Jun Yu. Mom, you must like Jun Yu, you must like Jun Yu."

Meng Mu laughed: "Yuan Jing, what kind of magic does Junyu have? Everyone says it's okay? Look at you like this, it doesn't seem like you want me to like your friend, but to like the girl you like."

"Where is Ruo Junyu a girl?"

Meng's mother looked at her son with a smile, and suddenly glared: "Yuan Jing, how could your friend who is the Grand Marshal be a girl?"
