The System's voice rang in Jiang Pengji's ears the moment she saw Meng Heng.
"System: Congratulations, streamer, for completing the real-time mission: Help Meng Heng. You will be rewarded with a" Big Mystery Package. "Please receive your reward at the backstage."
That was it?
Jiang Pengji chuckled. The System really couldn't take it anymore. Otherwise, it wouldn't be in such a hurry.
She looked at Meng Heng calmly. Unlike Meng Heng, who had a delicate appearance, Meng Heng looked rough at first glance. He was dressed in a scholarly robe, which made him look neither fish nor fowl. However, when she looked closely, she felt that he was full of determination.
Meng Heng was more of a warrior who was proficient in martial arts than a scholar who was well-versed in poetry.
She glanced at the thick calluses on his hands. It was the mark of holding a sword and a spear all year round.
Even if Meng Heng was not good at martial arts, his body was definitely not weak.
"Are you Cousin Heng?"
Jiang Pengji informed Master Yuanjing, then followed the servants and guards to meet Meng Heng.
When she first saw Meng Heng, he was still sitting in the carriage, wearing a gray cloak. The charcoal in the carriage had long been extinguished, and there was no residual heat. The decorations inside were also simple. He looked like an ordinary scholar from a poor family. She couldn't tell that he was the legitimate son of the Meng's at all.
"You are?"
Meng Heng frowned. He couldn't remember when he had seen Jiang Pengji.
"Mother often talks to me about Cousin Heng. She's always worried about your days in the Meng's …"
Jiang Pengji didn't explain her background, but Meng Heng understood when he heard that.
"You are … Cousin Xi?" Meng Heng looked at her blankly. He didn't expect that the handsome young man in front of him was the rumored second legitimate son of Liu She. When he heard Jiang Pengji mention Gu Zhen, his expression became a little obscure. "How has mother been all these years?"
When Gu Zhen left the Meng's, Meng Heng could barely remember, so he more or less knew what had happened.
Because he knew what would happen to Gu Zhen if she didn't leave, Meng Heng didn't have any resentment towards his birth mother. Instead, he respected and pitied her.
The Meng's residence was not a good place. Otherwise, he wouldn't have gone all the way to Shangjing to study and avoid those messy things.
Jiang Pengji said, "I fell seriously ill early this spring. My mother almost didn't make it. However, fortune and misfortune go hand in hand. After I recovered from that serious illness, even some of the ailments I had when I was young were cured. Now I'm living very well. "
Meng Heng said, "Mother is doing well. Nothing could be better."
Jiang Pengji asked him, "I heard from Cousin Heng's servant that there's something wrong with the carriage's wheels?"
Meng Heng's face flushed with embarrassment. "Yes."
Jiang Pengji secretly glanced at the broken wheel and immediately understood where the problem was.
It was unknown how many years this carriage had been in service. It had been in disrepair for many years, and the wheels had also been used for many years. It was only now that it could no longer bear the load and was broken.
How could the eldest son of the Meng family sit in such an old carriage? It was obvious how hard his days in the Meng family were.
Going out on a snowy day, they didn't have enough charcoal in the carriage. Even the clothes they wore were old clothes that had been washed countless times.
"If Cousin Heng isn't in a hurry, why don't you come with me? We can take care of each other." Jiang Pengji invited him like a naughty 12-year-old. "My mother is so sick that she's unconscious. She often calls out Cousin Heng's pet name at the door. Now that we've met, I have to ask you properly. When I go back, I can learn from my mother so that she won't have to worry. "
Meng Heng's heart skipped a beat when he heard that. It was as if that scene appeared in his mind.
He didn't have many memories of his childhood, but he still had an impression of Gu Zhen. She was such a quiet and beautiful lady, as if she had walked out of a painting. One couldn't help but sigh at the peace of life. Now that she was still thinking about him when she was seriously ill, how could he not be touched?
His heart warmed up. He said, "If that's the case, I'll have to trouble you. My mother has remarried many years ago. It's a pity that I haven't visited her. Cousin Xi, can you tell me more about my mother? "
"Of course."
Jiang Pengji brought three carriages with her. She could still spare one for Meng Heng after tidying them up a little.
Knowing that Master Yuanjing, who was famous throughout the nine prefectures, was in the carriages, Meng Heng was stunned. He was so stunned that he couldn't react.
"Cousin Xi, have you studied under Master Yuanjing?"
"No, Master Yuanjing is very strict when it comes to accepting disciples. I've only studied at Master's academy for a few years, and I've learned a lot."
Meng Heng didn't look like a clever person based on his face, but he was very honest with his words and actions.
When he heard that his cousin could study at Langye Academy, he couldn't help but nag a little. It was nothing more than to urge him to study hard and make progress every day.
If it was a delicate young man, he would definitely show an impatient look, but Jiang Pengji enjoyed it very much.
Meng Heng was like a lotus flower that was bred in the swamp of the Meng's manor. He was very unique.
Master Yuanjing's students were very temperamental. Not everyone got along with them.
Some classmates had only spoken a few words to each other for a few years. Their friendship was very thin, and they were quite averse to outsiders.
Meng Heng noticed this, so he spent most of his time in the carriage. He occasionally came out to talk to Jiang Pengji, but he rarely talked to Master Yuanjing's students.
After Jiang Pengji completed the triggered mission that was not difficult at all, she ignored the "Big Mystery Package" in the backstage mailbox. The System couldn't stand it and urged her to open it, but Jiang Pengji said, "I'll open it on an auspicious day when my face is good."
System: "…"
I have something to say now!
She didn't provoke the System, so she found a chance to ask Wei Ci the next day.
"I heard from Master Yuanjing that Zixiao is proficient in the Eight Diagrams of Changes. Can he read people's faces?"
Wei Ci lifted the curtain of the carriage and asked Jiang Pengji with his eyes.
What kind of demon was she trying to be?
"What do you think of my luck today?" she asked.
Wei Ci's face turned green after he heard that. He looked at Jiang Pengji with some unfriendliness.
"I'm asking sincerely. I'm not trying to tease you."
He continued to look indifferent. "Her glabella is red, and the evil aura won't invade. This is great luck."
He had never seen her glabella turn black. Even if the evil aura from outside entered her body, it couldn't suppress the evil aura in her body.
Jiang Pengji responded with an "Oh" and tightened her grip on the horse's belly. White obediently ran two steps forward.
Wei Ci: "…"
She had enough of pretending. Jiang Pengji finally opened the "Big Mystery Package" backstage.
The package suddenly broke into pieces and floated in the air. Then, like fine sand, they gathered together and formed a golden object.
Hehe … Jiang Pengji pinched it with two fingers and made a sound of surprise.
"System, look at how red I am."
The System was silent. After a while, it said, "I'm serving tea to you, Lucky Queen."
She used a little force and crushed the card. A choice popped up in front of her.
"Little Angel System warmly reminds you that the host is currently a Level Two streamer. After using the card, you will be promoted to Level Three. The number of people online in the streaming room will increase to 50,000. Are you sure you want to use the Level Up Card? A, Yes; B, No. "
