Chapter 2210: Only Caught Shu Yu's Handkerchief


Although Tanhua Jinlin may not be as good-looking as Meng Yunzheng, he was, after all, bestowed the title of Tanhua, and he could still take pride in his appearance.

Unlike Meng Yunzheng, he didn't avoid the things thrown at him, and he accepted everything without hesitation.

The result of this was that he was almost covered in various things. It wasn't just flowers and handkerchiefs that were thrown at him; there were all sorts of little trinkets that could be easily picked up.

One girl was so excited that she directly threw the cuju ball her nephew was playing with, hitting Jinlin right on the head and almost knocking him off his horse. He couldn't say anything but had to smile and nod.

After that lesson, he at least paid attention to what people were throwing at him.

However, most people's attention was still on the legendary top scorer, Meng Yunzheng, who was not only talented but had achieved a perfect score of 6 in all examinations.

Unfortunately, Meng Yunzheng had nothing in his hands. It wasn't until the group was about to reach the entrance of Lu Ji shop that he suddenly looked up, and his gaze met Shu Yu's.

When everyone saw this, the top scorer, for once, showed a different expression. They followed his gaze and saw several women sticking their heads out of the second-floor box at Lu Ji, and some children were shouting and cheering, their cheeks flushed with excitement.

Xiao Shi urged, "Quick, Ah Yu, throw the handkerchief."

Shu Yu hadn't thought about throwing a handkerchief. It was so light that it was hard to hit unless something was wrapped in it.

So she had prepared a purse. However, before she could take out the purse, her hands, prepared to wipe the sweat from the excited children, were shaken by Xiao Shi, and the handkerchief she had intended for them slipped away.

Shu Yu, "..."

The handkerchief fell, and Meng Yunzheng was the first to see it. But the handkerchief fell straight down, and even if there was a gust of wind, it wouldn't blow into his hands.

Just as Shu Yu was about to switch to the purse, Meng Yunzheng suddenly pushed up on the saddle with both hands, leaped forward lightly, tapped the horse's back with his right foot, and floated forward. He reached out and caught the handkerchief that was about to hit the ground.

The people around stared at his series of actions dumbfounded, and when he sat back on his horse with the handkerchief in his hand, there was suddenly a burst of enthusiastic cheers from the crowd.

"Well!"

"The top scorer excels in both literature and martial arts."

"Ah, I love it so much."

"The girl who threw the handkerchief, who is she? The top scorer doesn't want anyone else's handkerchief, only hers. Could it be that something good is about to happen to the top scorer? Is it going to be a big celebration soon?"

"This girl is also good-looking, a perfect match for the top scorer."

Of course, many people in the crowd recognized Shu Yu, and as they watched the interaction between the two, they couldn't help but feel a bit sour.

As the procession continued to move forward, Meng Yunzheng held up the handkerchief and waved towards the second floor.

The other new scholars in the group also looked in her direction.

Shu Yu looked at the purse she hadn't had a chance to throw and then at the handkerchief in his hand. She immediately cupped her hands around her mouth and shouted, "Meng Yunzheng, you're the best!"

Her friend Xiao Shi quickly joined in, "You're the best!"

The people next to them echoed, "The best, the best!"

Madam Yao and others laughed heartily. When the procession gradually disappeared, and everyone could no longer see them, Shu Yu finally turned away from the windowsill and saw the people in the elegant room teasing her.

Shu Yu touched her nose and said, "Um, they still have to attend the Qionglin Banquet. Should we find a place to eat?"
