Chapter 56: The Horse Farm
"Third sister, have been waiting for me for a long time."
Idle flowers wore through the garden, and fell leisurely on the girl's purple skirt. The white shawl and purple skirt are kneaded, lining the girl's delicate and slender face. Raising his hand and brushing the sideburns beside his ears, Gu Mingxiu smiled slightly, staring at the person blocking the road in front of him faintly, without the slightest surprise or surprise on his face.
She asked with a smile on her lips, as if she had agreed with Gu Qingyue to meet here a long time ago.
Gu Qingyue couldn't help but be slightly stunned, then clenched her fingers, and said uneasily: "Fourth sister... What are the fourth sisters talking about, I have some...."
"Third sister, I like to talk to smart people." Gu Mingxiu interrupted the uneasy girl lightly, and the smile in her eyes gradually faded, "If the third sister is smart enough, she should understand that some things are pretending to be stupid too much, but they will lose the opportunity." β
Gu Qingyue clenched her handkerchief, lowered her eyes timidly, and didn't say a word.
It was as if he had been bullied by Gu Mingxiu.
Mu Lan frowned, about to speak. Gu Mingxiu had already raised his steps and walked forward again. She walked past the girl, her eyes did not squint, and her voice was cold: "It seems that Siniang misunderstood the third sister, and Siniang said sorry to the third sister, and there was still an appointment, so I didn't say more to the third sister." β
"Wait!" Suddenly, his arm was grabbed, and the action was too sudden and violent, causing Gu Mingxiu's footsteps to pause, and he was almost pulled backwards and fell.
As if aware of her actions, Gu Qingyue hurriedly put down her arm, and said a little helplessly: "I just... I just think that the fourth sister is not very close to everyone, and there is also a misunderstanding with the second sister....I want to talk to you... I...."She raised her eyes and glanced around quickly, like a frightened rabbit.
The maid on Gu Qingyue's side blessed her body, patted Gu Qingyue's back comfortingly, and glanced at Gu Mingxiu worriedly: "Fourth Miss, my girl is timid, please bear more." β
After that, he turned his head to Gu Qingyue and said softly: "Girl, wait for the slave maid for a while, and the slave maid will go and get you some water." β
The little maid turned around and hurried away, only to hear the sound of panicked footsteps over there.
Gu Mingxiu's face was expressionless, he glanced in that direction lightly, and then lowered his eyes to look at the girl in front of him. Mu Lan was still a little strange, and when she turned her head to look over, she saw that the frightened and helpless girl suddenly changed her face.
With a bit of firmness and coldness between her eyebrows, Gu Qingyue quickly said: "Fourth sister, I need to discuss something with you, I....don't like Gu Qingyuan and Gu Changge." β
The last few words almost came out of gritted teeth, with hatred.
Mu Lan couldn't help but shudder: This third lady looks at Wen Wen quietly on weekdays, and she is still a little weak, she is obviously a timid and afraid of things, but she doesn't want to have this kind of thought, such a face is surprising.
Gu Mingxiu said lightly: "Second sister, they don't like me, so I don't like them either." The third sister told me what to do, but for no reason she taught me to laugh rather than laugh. I don't like to hear it, and I don't want to hear it, so don't talk about it. She took two steps forward, paused again, and said lightly, "There are many collisions today, and I will invite the third sister to come to the yard to drink tea and make amends another day." β
The voice sounded as cold as ever, but it seemed to have some meaning.
Gu Qingyue was a little anxious, and hurriedly said, "Fourth, fourth sister, ....."
"My girl has made an appointment with someone, but if she is late, she will lose her trust, and the third lady should not stop her." Mu Lan stopped Gu Qingyue, who was about to say something, with a well-behaved and polite smile on her face. Gu Mingxiu walked away indifferently behind her, Gu Qingyue watched her walk away, a little helpless, and finally just sighed.
Seeing this, the little girl who turned around was a little indignant, and glared at Mu Lan, but was glared back by Mu Lan.
"Girl, what do you say you are doing?" The little maid dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, and when Mu Lan turned around arrogantly to catch up with Gu Mingxiu, she stepped forward to help her girl, distressed and angry, "The fourth young lady is so rude and unkind, and you and the second young lady are not very friendly on weekdays, so why botherββ"
"My own sister, I always want to ..... well" Gu Qingyue stared at Gu Mingxiu's distant back, couldn't help but sigh softly, and said tiredly, "That's it, let's go back." I'll talk to my fourth sister another day. β
When the master and servant walked away, a little girl with a round face came out of the small corner, her eyes rolled, looked at this side, and then looked at that side, and ran in the direction of Zhilan Courtyard.
When Gu Mingxiu rushed to the teahouse in the east of the city, Shen Qingqing had just arrived.
Gu Mingxiu was standing at the door, and before he could enter, he saw the Shen family's carriage coming from afar. simply didn't go in, and told the coachman to park the carriage, and Mu Lan and Mo Zhu stood by her side, waiting for the carriage to stop at the door.
Shen Qingqing got out of the carriage and smiled when she saw her: "I like to make appointments with you the most, I always come earlier than me, so I don't need to wait for you." β
She said this very calmly, but at the end she was a little disgusted, as if she was expressing her dissatisfaction with which young lady.
Gu Mingxiu didn't ask, just smiled faintly: "I haven't been here for long, it's just just arrived, that is, I just arrived at your back foot, and you should wait for me later." β
"You're so good-looking, you deserve to wait." Shen Qingqing looked at the time and said with a smile, "I thought it was still early, let's go to the racecourse now, so we can pick a good location." She looked at it and said, "You can sit with me, but my carriage is big enough today." β
"Horse farm?" Gu Mingxiu frowned slightly, a little puzzled.
She thought that Shen Qingqing was just meeting to play chess or play today, but she never thought of going to the racecourse.
Shen Qingqing nodded, and ordered the carriage to go forward before saying, "Fei'er's brother is going to compete with those sons today, but I'm afraid that she will be bored there, so why don't we all go and give her courage." Shen Qingqing frowned, looked at Gu Mingxiu and said, "You don't go out on weekdays, it's boring to see your sisters at home, why don't you go with me to have a look, Mingxiu, haven't you seen a horse race yet?" β
Gu Mingxiu didn't speak, Miao Lan shook her head, and there was still a little expectation in her eyes: "Yes, yes, the girl has been in Chongming Temple for so long, she can only read books all day long, or do something else, and she has been like this for eleven years." The girl has a good temperament and can endure it, but I can't bear it. β
"I can't stand it, and you've endured it for so long." Mo Zhujiao glanced at her with disgust, and said softly, "I have never seen it." β
"I'll see you in a moment." Shen Qingqing said with a smile, she looked at Gu Mingxiu's unfluctuating expression, and was a little disapproving, "You girls are not as interesting as you, if you don't know her, you would be so dull and think that the teacher of which family ran out." β
Mo Zhu smiled slightly: "The girl is happy to be quiet." β
Shen Qingqing nodded: "You will do this, you will do that, Mingxiu, let me ask you, will you ride a horse this time?" β
Raising his eyes and glancing at the other party's curious eyes, Gu Mingxiu smiled slightly: "What?" Do you want to compete with me? β
Her tone was very firm, but there was no fear at all.
Shen Qingqing couldn't help but be happy, and hurriedly shook her head: "I don't dare to compare with you, you are such a weak woman, standing there I am afraid that you will be blown away by the wind, where do you dare to compare with you on horseback?" I'm afraid that if you get close to that cruel horse, I will panic, for fear that if you break it, you will be scolded by your aunt. β
Her words are full of playfulness, and her tone is serious.
It's funny to watch.
Gu Mingxiu was quite helpless in her heart, but she just shook her head.
After a little silence, as if thinking of something, Gu Mingxiu suddenly raised his head and asked, "Do you know who is competing with Miss Ning's brother?" β
Shen Qingqing thought for a while and frowned: "I don't know this, Fei'er won't tell me." Seeing that she was preoccupied, I asked a few words before I asked about today's events, and she didn't seem to want us to be involved, so she didn't say much. I sent someone to inquire, and I thought they were all gentlemen in Beijing. β
She sneered: "I like to bully people the most, those dumb kids." β
Gu Mingxiu didn't speak, just frowned slightly.
At this time, she remembered one thing, about Gu Jing.
Gu Jing also liked to ride horses in his last life, and once he went to the horse farm and didn't know what he tried with others, and when he came back, he broke a leg and was sued by someone. At that time, Gu Jing kept saying that he was wronged, but Gu Qingyuan didn't listen to it at all, but was furious, and punished Gu Jing to kneel in the ancestral hall.
And that time, because of rumors, she was difficult to justify, and she was so busy every day that she couldn't know about it at the first time, so she missed Gu Jing's most uncomfortable time, and she was even turned away when she cared for her again.
This incident left a very negative impression on Gu Jing.
Gu Mingxiu couldn't remember the time clearly, and couldn't confirm whether it was the same day as today. Gu Jing has been a little busy these days, although he will come to see her, he rarely talks about his own affairs, but he has never said whether he will come to ride a horse.
There are too many variables that she has influenced, so naturally she can't confirm whether it is today, so she can only wait until she is on the field to confirm. If not, it doesn't matter, just watch the play today. If so...she would have to find out who had the audacity to bully her brother.
The hatred of the previous life must be returned today, and no one can escape it.
Gu Mingxiu's eyes were flushed, with a cold color under his eyes, with a bit of chill, which made people a little frightened. There was a slight smile on her lips, but it didn't reach the bottom of her eyes. The carriage slowed down a little, Gu Mingxiu slowly raised his head, the smile on his face was faint, and he looked at the curtain opened by Mu Lan with a calm and peaceful demeanor, without any extra expression.
At the same time, the coachman stopped the carriage by reining in the reins, and shouted loudly inside: "Miss, the racecourse has arrived." β
Reading is exciting, reading is wonderful!
