Seeing this, the second lady hurriedly played a round: "Fifth sister, I know that you must be tired when you go to Hangji Temple to pray for blessings in the past two days." But now it's a big deal. You also know that the old lady pays the most attention to the reputation of our Yuanning Marquis Mansion, and the prince's post is to invite our three sisters to attend together, if you are missing, it will inevitably cause suspicion from others, and when there are some rumors, it is not the fifth sister's. ”

Gu Zhirong raised his eyebrows, but he had to agree with the second miss's words. This is the case with famous families, a little wind and grass can spread throughout the capital, causing many inexplicable rumors. If you don't go, it will not only make it difficult to get along with the Yuanning Marquis Mansion, but also damage the reputation of several sisters in the mansion.

Because, those gossiping people in the capital will say: "Look, what about the ladies in the dignified Yuanning Marquis' Mansion? So the famous mansion has no way to teach, and the sisters are so discordant, how can they become the crown princess, the future mother of the country, and the mother of the world?"

Gu Zhirong didn't want to bear this kind of consequence.

But think about it, it seems that even if you go, even if you do green leaves, it doesn't seem to hurt you much. After all, you can't joke about the reputation of the Hou Mansion, the old lady pays the most attention to this, if she angers the old lady, not only will she not be able to do a good thing with the eldest son of Lu, but I am afraid that what is worse is that she will fall into the same fate as Miss Seven......

After all, now is not the time to go head-to-head with an old lady.

Moreover, as for the horse race in the vast grassland, it seems to be a matter of the previous life. In this life. She could only ride her little rosette and walk a few laps in the open space by the stable. Now there is such a great opportunity to go to the racecourse and race. If you don't go, I feel like I'm really sorry for my proud riding skills.

"Okay. Gu Zhirong nodded helplessly, "There are still a few hours before the afternoon horse race, you let me catch up on sleep first, okay? I'm tired in the past two days." ”

Seeing that Gu Zhirong agreed, the second lady was very happy: "Then you can rest quickly, I will instruct the kitchen to heat it in a pot for you, and wait for you to wake up and eat when you wake up." ”

The fourth lady felt that there was something wrong with the second lady's words. Interjected: "You can't sleep until you wake up naturally, but don't forget the afternoon horse race." ”

Gu Zhirong nodded very obediently: "Two sisters, please rest assured, I will remember it in the afternoon." Be sure to go horse racing. ”

Then, Gu Zhirong seized the time to catch up on sleep, and asked Mu Jin to guard outside, and no one was allowed to come in and disturb him. Sleep like this until it's time to eat.

Had lunch. Gu Zhirong's spirit is also sufficient. Let Mingyue open the cage and take out an arrow sleeve riding suit that has only been worn a few times.

This horseback riding is different from at home, if it is a long shirt and a horse coat, it is strange that people will not laugh off their big teeth. Moreover, she has lived in this mansion for so many years, and she has really never seen the second and fourth young ladies riding horses. If they really don't know how to ride horses, but the prince wants to go to a horse race, what is the matter?

Mingyue next to her saw Gu Zhirong looking meditative and couldn't figure out what to do. couldn't help but smile and bent down: "Miss, you really think too much." Horseback riding has always been a custom in the capital. If a man is in love with a woman, he must invite her to ride a horse. Horseback riding is a game played by men, not by girls, and that's normal. Moreover, if a girl rides too well, isn't that man very faceless? The most important thing in the so-called horse race at the horse farm is not whether she can ride a horse, but whether the girl is willing to let the man take the ride? If the girl also likes the man, she will definitely agree to his invitation, sit on the back of his horse, and ride with him, so that a good thing will be done. ”

Gu Zhirong said in his heart: "It turns out that this is the way to propose marriage in this era, it sounds really romantic." ”

Mingyue looked at Gu Zhirong and blinked: "When we arrive at the racecourse in the afternoon, Miss can secretly observe who the prince invites to get on the horse, and you can know who the future princess is." ”

Gu Zhirong thought for a while and said, "I hope it's the second sister." ”

The fourth lady is mean and narrow-minded, in case she is elected as the crown princess, it is really a misfortune for the whole world.

However, the prince's personality is not much better, moody, and ruthless, which is a perfect match for the fourth lady.

In the final analysis, although the second lady is a little indifferent by nature and a little taller, she is still a good person on the whole, and if she matches the prince, she seems to be a little aggrieved.

Mingyue saw that her young lady was in a daze again, and couldn't help asking, "Miss, what are you thinking again?"

Gu Zhirong smiled: "I'm thinking about who the prince will choose." ”

Mingyue looked at her a little amusedly: "Since the old lady made such an arrangement, everyone in the whole mansion knows that the choice of the crown princess is decided between the second and fourth misses. You don't know that the people in this house are divided into two factions, one is for Miss 2, and the other is for Miss 4. These two factions are guessing every day to see if they have bet on the wrong treasure. As for us, we are all happy for Miss, because the old lady's arrangement is equivalent to agreeing to leave Miss to the Lu family. So, miss, you have to get ready, maybe after the crown princess has decided, you will start to discuss marriage. ”

Gu Zhirong never knew that there were many dreams at night, and the longer things dragged on, the more complicated they would become, and it was better to get as soon as possible. However, with the situation on the Lu family's side, the eldest prince of Lu has no fame, who will come to the Yuanning Marquis Mansion to discuss relatives, this is really a problem.

However, Gu Zhirong is very confident, she believes that she can wait. At most, it will take another two months, and when the golden cinnamon is fragrant, the eldest son of Lu will be named on the gold list, and they will finally come out.

After changing into the arrow sleeve riding costume, as soon as she drank a cup of tea, the second lady sent someone over to urge. Gu Zhirong took Mingyue to the backyard and saw that the luxurious carriage was parked in the middle of the courtyard. And the second and fourth ladies also stood in front of the carriage early.

At first glance, when she saw the outfits of the second and fourth misses, Gu Zhirong was really taken aback, and then she was grateful to Mingyue for the knowledge she had just popularized. The second and fourth ladies were all dressed up, their eyebrows were carefully drawn, their lips were carefully drawn, and even their makeup was exquisite. That look, it's not about racing any horse at all, it's almost the same as going on a blind date.

The two of them saw that Gu Zhirong was dressed in an arrow-sleeved riding uniform, simple and neat, and he didn't even wear a bead hairpin on his sideburns, and they all showed stunned expressions.

Gu Zhirong looked calm, anyway, the protagonist of this Jockey Club will not be himself, and he went this time for only one purpose, that is, to ride a horse. When the time comes, she will ride a tall horse, gallop on the boundless grassland, and be free, that is what she wants most.

The second lady looked at Gu Zhirong with some concern, not knowing if she would anger the prince if she didn't apply powder and didn't have a trace of pearl and jade, after all, the prince's moody temperament was not something that ordinary people could fathom.

The fourth lady was stunned for a moment, and then immediately showed a happy expression. Gu Xiaowu is really good dressed like this. She is really sad that there is no one to set off her flowery beauty and show her gentle and lovely side, no, this reference is all at once. (To be continued......)
