Chapter 44: Treading the Snow

"Treading the snow?" she said the horse's name.

The horses in the courtyard shook their ears and looked over to the hall. Yu Mingzhi immediately walked over slowly, passed through the Guo family who were stunned by the unknown situation, nodded slightly to Gu Zhongyi, and then reached out to stroke his mane.

The horse leaned in close to her, sniffed, and rubbed her cheek intimately.

It was really stepping on the snow, Yu Mingzhi closed his eyes and hugged the horse's neck.

In fact, the time of stepping on the snow to follow my father is not long, less than two years.

But the feelings with them are deep.

This is a spiritual horse, once took his father who went deep into the mountains and forests to encircle and suppress the Liukou, through many traps, flew through narrow ravines, stepped through turbulence, and got out of danger.

She has also ridden through the snow, galloped through the meadows and forests, or walked with her father on the school grounds with her horse.

Every time she washes the snow, she is always obedient and never throws water at her.

Her father once said that on the day she got married, the groom would ride on the snow to greet her, and then the horse would truly belong to her.

On the day of the raid, she rode through the snow and shook off the pursuers. It is also stepping on the snow, accompanying her through difficult and dangerous days, evading pursuit, and tracking down evidence. However, after she was arrested in front of the house of the Zuo Sanqi Chang Attendant, there was no trace of stepping on the snow.

Now, stepping on the snow has been recovered, and she endured it so that she did not cry in front of the Guo family.

Gu Zhongyi first found an excuse for her, "It seems that Miss Guo loves this horse very much, the name of this horse is to step on the snow, and it is a peerless horse that the people of Qin She have worked hard to get." ”

Guo Chang has been in business for many years, and when he was young, he also traveled with a caravan to the Western Regions, where there were many famous horses, but when he saw the snow, he couldn't help but let out a sigh of admiration, "It is indeed a rare good horse, and the people of Qinshe are really thoughtful." "But I've never seen anyone send a live horse in the dowry, if it's a military attache family marriage, it's still said in the past, but they are businessmen?

It seemed that eighty percent was still related to this unknown girl, and he couldn't help but look at Yu Mingzhi a few more times curiously.

Gu Zhongyi said: "On the day of marriage, the Qin Sheren planned to ride this horse to marry Miss Guo. ”

Did her father tell Qin Ji about this? Sadness surged into Yu Mingzhi's heart, and she tightly grasped the reins on the horse, but she knew that she was "abnormal" for too long, which would cause suspicion, so she touched Taxue's forehead and took a few steps back to stand beside Guo Chang.

The bride price has all been brought in, and the courtyard is full, and the old lady Guo, who was originally dissatisfied, looked a little looser at this time, and with the support of Guo Zeng's and Guo Baofen, she checked the bride price.

Guo Chang bowed politely, "The banquet has been set up, please take Gu Shilang to the table." ”

Gu Zhongyi helped him up, "My lord, please." ”

The servants, maids, and musicians who carried the bride price were led by the Guo family's family to another courtyard to eat and drink.

Halfway through the banquet, everyone was full, and the rest of the time was mainly spent chatting, and it happened that Guo Chang also intended to get acquainted with Gu Shilang, so you and I had a cup, and it was easier to talk after drinking.

Old Madam Guo looked at Yu Mingzhi coldly, and whispered: "Seeing that the day of your marriage is nearer, if there is no mother to dress you up and send you out, what are you like?

Guo Zengshi sneered in his heart, Yao Xiuning has only suffered for a few days, wouldn't it be cheaper for her to release it now?

So she observed Yu Mingzhi and waited for her to open her mouth before deciding whether to help or not.

Yu Mingzhi looked embarrassed, "Baozhi has lived in my aunt's house for many days, and I don't know much about my mother's condition, so I have to ask my father." Dad and my mother have been married for more than ten years, I think my father must be very concerned about my mother, or he is the right one. ”

When Guo Zengshi heard this, he immediately echoed: "No, the eldest brother is very clear about his sister-in-law's illness, I'm afraid he doesn't want you to worry, so he said it lightly." Mother-in-law, after all, Baozhi is going to do a happy event according to the etiquette of the county lord's marriage, and at that time, she must be noisy all day, which is not good for her sister-in-law's health. Besides, you were still in charge that day? ”

Mrs. Guo glared at her second daughter-in-law, "Don't think I don't know what you're thinking." ”

Guo Zeng's smiled disapprovingly, the old lady is old after all, and she is in charge of the house, and her words have long lost their authority. Look at her beloved eldest son Guo Chang, who has long since stopped taking people seriously, and is still here to show his majesty, which is really ridiculous.

"Mother-in-law, I don't have any bad intentions......"

Yu Mingzhi didn't pay attention to the conversation between Mrs. Guo and Guo Zeng's anymore, and turned his eyes to the door.

Standing under a tree in the snow, grazing leisurely.

This is the perfect afternoon to ride a horse under the clear blue sky...... Yu Mingzhi was thinking so, and the family hurriedly entered the door to report.

"The people of Qin She have arrived. ”

Guo Chang shook his head slightly, on the day of recruitment, the relatives of the groom official usually came, but it was not only Gu Shilang who had no blood relationship with the Qin She people who came, but even the Qin She people came in person at this time.

His mind is really elusive and unusual.

Qin Ji was wearing a cyan robe, lined with his jade-like handsome face, dancing from the outside like an immortal.

"Gu Langzhong. He first greeted Gu Zhongyi, and then greeted several elders of the Guo family.

Guo Chang was busy asking someone to move a stool and put an extra pair of dishes and chopsticks, "Have you eaten at Qin Sheren?"

"Uncle Yue doesn't have to work hard," Qin Ji waved his hand, "I came to greet him today, just because I wanted to take Zhizhi out for a walk." ”

Mrs. Guo's face suddenly fell, she ran out in disguise as a man last time, and she has to go out this time, even if she has passed the levy, she is already a member of her husband's family, so she can't be so arrogant, right?

"No!" she said before Yu Mingzhi.

Qin Ji said: "In this world, there is only ...... who can say no in front of me, except for the current emperor" He looked at Yu Mingzhi with bright eyes, "Zhizhi is alone." ”

Mrs. Guo choked, and she humiliated herself twice and three times, which made her feel ashamed.

Guo Chang would not refuse, but only told him to "go home early".

Qin Ji said: "Don't worry, Uncle Yue, I will definitely send Zhizhi back to the Yang family safely before dark." Zhizhi, come on......" He held out his hand to Yu Mingzhi.

Yu Mingzhi nodded to Guo Chang and Old Madam Guo, walked briskly to the front of the mountain, hesitated, and held Qin Ji's hand.

"Don't bother you to eat and drink, take your leave. Qin Ji bowed slightly, and then pulled Yu Mingzhi out, "I know that when you see Treading Snow, you will definitely want to go out and ride a horse." ”

Yu Mingzhi touched the mane of Treadsnow and asked, "How did you find it?"

Qin Ji took the lead in getting on the horse and smiled at Yu Mingzhi: "The Guo family has a lot of mouths, you get on the horse first, and I'll tell you when I get out." ”

Yu Mingzhi couldn't cry or laugh, put on the hat given by Zhu'er, took Qin Ji's hand, jumped on the horse, sat behind him, and pulled up the reins.

"Are you leaving?" she looked like she was riding a horse with Qin Ji.

Qin Ji nodded calmly, "Okay." ”
