C24 (2/2)
Gu Yiqing, on the other hand, saw her slightly hanging her face and sipping the soup from the bowl. Her actions were elegant and graceful, and she secretly sighed; this kind of upbringing was not inferior to the Second Miss that the Guo Family had carefully raised. It was just a pity that she had such an unpredictable future under the tutelage of a stepmother like Yao family.
That night, Gu Jinzhu slept extremely well. Although she was in the wilderness, it was as if she had blended into nature. With the sounds of the grass moving and insects chirping, she slept without a single dream.
Early the next morning, she was awakened by the sun shining brightly in her eyes. She could hear the cackling of the Aster in her ears, and when she came out, she was even more lively than before.
Gu Jinzhu got up and lifted the curtain to look outside. The sunlight was dazzling. She took a deep breath as her chest and abdomen were filled with the fresh smell of grass, causing people's minds to clear up.
It wasn't convenient for her to wash up, so she washed her mouth with the green salt. She simply braided her hair into a black, oily braid and let it hang down her back, giving her a little more of the vivacity of a little girl.
The weather was good outside, and she was in a good mood. After having her snacks, she leaned against the window and looked out.
The sky was blue and cloudless. The green flowers in the distance were like a blanket, swaying in the wind. As she watched, her gaze couldn't help but fall on the figure standing in front of her.
Gu Yiqing was riding on the horse in front. He was wearing a simple green robe today, and his black hair was tied up by a white jade hairpin. He looked both handsome and dignified. From behind, his long and slender figure looked like green bamboo.
He was riding a black stallion. His black hair was like satin, and it shone in the sunlight. His four hooves were galloping, and his feet were unstained by the dust.
The horse moved like the wind, and the man was as clear as jade.
Gu Jinzhu looked at the figure in front of her and sighed deeply in her heart. This Third Uncle really had the appearance of a celestial being. She didn't know what kind of beauty his mother was, but it was no wonder her grandmother was so jealous all those years ago.
Presumably sensing her gaze, he jerked his head back and caught her eye.
Before she could regain her senses, the figure had already rushed over and instantly stopped in front of her. He slightly raised his eyebrows and extended his hand towards her. ”Do you want to try?”
His face was usually cold, and his long and cold eyes were naturally cold and distant. This was the reason why even though he had always been easy to get along with, Bi Meng and Yun Xiang still didn't dare to be impudent in front of him.
However, at this moment, the corners of his lips were slightly curled up. It was as though the clouds had parted and the sky had opened, revealing a hint of moonlight. He was exceptionally handsome.
Gu Jinzhu was dizzy from watching this. She was stunned for a long time before she finally reacted. He was asking her if she wanted to ride a horse.
Her heart thumped wildly and her eyes lit up.
It turned out that Gu Yiqing had thought that the little girl had been bored out of her mind when he saw her staring at him like that.
After leaving the carriage for so long, Gu Jinzhu obediently stayed in the carriage and only stretched her muscles when she was resting. No matter how much of a hurry he was in, she had never made a sound.
She was still a child. She couldn't stand being cooped up in a car all day, but she endured it all the time.
Gu Yiqing had never seen such a patient young lady. All the ladies in Shengjing were arrogant and domineering. In comparison, this kind of girl who restrained her own thoughts and actions made people feel pity for her.
