Chapter 94: The King Is a Vampire (4)
The scenery in the countryside is okay, but it just rained a few days ago, and the road is potholed and muddy.
As soon as she got out of the carriage, her wide skirt was dirty, and she wore a light blue lace trimmed Crenolin dress, her long golden hair was braided and pulled up, and she wore a goose-yellow silk wide-brimmed hat on her head, and held a delicate fan in her hand.
Her aristocratic dress immediately attracted the attention of the farmers who were working in the countryside.
A few middle-aged men stared at her for a moment, and were glared at fiercely by their own wives: "Don't look at it, those who can come to us must have made mistakes!" ”
"That's it, maybe it was the thief who was sent here."
A seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy had the audacity to come up and ask him, "Which lady are you?" ”
Ying Qi smiled slightly: "I am Miss Sipel of Count Clovis's family. ”
There was a sudden gasp sound around them, they had never seen a nobleman from the baron or above in their lives, and this dignified and noble young lady in front of them turned out to be from the earl's family.
After living in the countryside for a few days, Maki found that the people here were not so friendly, and the men who had been polite to her suddenly began to tease her verbally, and did not regard her as a serious noble lady at all, and the peasant women glared at her fiercely when they saw her.
In this way, what else does Juqi not understand, the news in the countryside is closed, it is impossible to know about her in Keane, and the only possibility is that Count Clovis asked to reveal the news.
Maybe it's the driver who sent them.
It was to make her obediently return to Chatsworth Manor after being humiliated, and then offer her dowry.
The night was as quiet as water, the stars dotted in the night sky, and the bright moonlight sprinkled on the floor of the house through the windows, as light as hoarfrost.
Ying Qi lay on the bed, tossing and turning and couldn't sleep.
After thinking for a moment, she put on a cloak, pushed open the door and walked out, and a rose was planted in the yard, and when it was in full bloom, the rich fragrance of flowers filled the whole yard.
She sat on the bench under the cherry tree, and went through all the things in the world in her mind, and so far she didn't know who the spirit's attachment was, and her ring had always been dull.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help lowering her eyes slightly to look at the ring on her hand.
At this moment, the ring was actually flashing with a faint white light.
She was suddenly stunned, the attacker was nearby, and had already been sensed by the ring.
But she was the only one in the four places, and there was no one else at all, she looked around, except for the faint trembling of the rose bushes in the breeze, the whole courtyard was quiet.
After waiting for a long time, there is no second person, and there may be a problem with the ring, after all, this plane is not as strange as the previous one.
The next day, Makichi walked to the stable in a silver-red riding outfit with white lace lapels, and Ethel frowned, she actually disapproved of Makichi going out now, after all, these days, the attitude of the farmers towards her made Ethel very worried that something would happen.
"What are you afraid of, how can I say that I am also a young lady of the earl's family, how dare they commit a crime."
Makichi pulls a horse out of the stable and straddles it.
Ethel was startled and hurriedly stopped: "Miss Sipel, why are you sitting like this?" ”
Ying Qi smiled, his blue eyes full of cunning: "No one will see it." "The women of this era are so pitiful, they can ride horses, but they can only sit sideways on horseback.
Seeing that she had made up her mind, Ethel couldn't say anything more, so she could only pray that she wouldn't be seen.
Regardless of what Ethel was thinking, she flicked her whip and rode down the country path.
Along the way, her riding posture still aroused some farmers' discussions.
"Only men ride horses like that!"
"The legs are so big, who are you trying to seduce!" An obese middle-aged woman spat viciously in the direction that Maki Qi had left.
Maki rode all the way, and finally stopped by a shimmering lake to let the horses drink.
At this moment, a male voice full of smiles came from behind him, "See you again, my little angel." ”
Ju Qi turned around, only to see a young man appear behind him at some point, he had flaxen-colored hair, his facial features were as handsome as carving, his pupils were rare emerald green, and the corners of his lips raised a debauchery smile, for some reason people inexplicably thought of the sun god in Greek mythology.
Looking down slightly, I saw that the jade on the ring was shining with a faint white light again.
Ying Qi was surprised in her heart, the ring flashed once in the yard last night, but she didn't see him at that time, so what was his origin?
However, Siper is a lady of high society, and she shouldn't be too enthusiastic about a stranger she doesn't know, thinking of this, Ju Qi slowly turned his face and said lightly: "I have never met Your Excellency." ”
The young man didn't explain much, but instead walked around to the front of the seven people, pressed his left hand on his right chest, and then bowed slightly.
"Beautiful girl, do I have the privilege of knowing your name?"
The corners of his lips pulled up a polite smile: "I don't think there's any need for this." ”
Sure enough, when she led the horse and turned to leave, the young man followed behind her, and he looked at the woman walking in front with a smile: "I just want to know your name, let me guess, what will be the name worthy of your looks, Bella, Andrea or Diana?" ”
"Have you always been like this?" Ying Qi was a little speechless, it was the first time she had met a person with such a character.
"No, it's just you." Ulysses saw her stop, a pair of green eyes full of smiles, and when he saw that Ying Qi stretched out his hand slightly, he took her hand and gently dropped a kiss on it.
Ying Qi smiled slightly: "As a gentleman, if you want to know the name of a lady, shouldn't you report yourself first?" ”
The smile in Ulysses' eyes was a little thicker, and his smile was like a breeze, gentle but full of light.
"It's my negligence, my name is Ulysses."
Ying Qi was surprised for a while, there was no surname, only a name, why, his surname was so unspeakable?
But after thinking about it, she didn't show it, she stared at him with bright eyes, and raised her chin arrogantly: "My name is Sipel." ”
also has no surname, although the two are equally rude, but it seems to be competing.
A hint of surprise flashed in Ulysses' eyes, but Ying Qi didn't pay attention to it, and rolled on the horse's back to himself, "I should go back." ”
He smiled and said goodbye to her: "Goodbye, my little angel." ”
As soon as she heard this title, she couldn't help but feel the urge to roll her eyes, but she still held back, said goodbye to him dignifiedly, and then rode away.
Ulysses watched her leave, the smile on her lips did not decrease, and her eyes were full of interest: "We will meet again." ”
