C38 (2/2)

It was drizzling and drizzling. Just like when they first arrived, the area around their eyes was filled with green and filled with life.

This time, the journey was naturally different from before. Xue Yi brought along a team of soldiers to personally escort her. She was riding an oily cart with green curtains, white orchids, black zhennan wood, and a magnificent and low profile.

It was a gift from a rich family. The interior of the car was covered with a thick brocade, and there were all kinds of snacks and snacks.

At this moment, the conditions were many times better than before, and there was no danger, yet Gu Jinzhu's heart was filled with gloom. Gu Yingqing was too busy with official affairs, and he hadn't even come to send her off.

After that night, they never saw each other again. Good.

Gu Jinzhu crushed a rose and watched the bright red juice stain her fingertips. She inexplicably thought of the blood on his body that night.

She was about to return to the capital, so naturally, she forgot about all of this. However, her heart was in a mess and she could only see a figure, but it was like the wind blowing past Qing Shui, causing him to be unable to calm down.

However, she couldn't say this kind of thing, not even if she was close to him. That touching was taboo, and there was an indescribable shame in it. She could only bury it deep in her heart.

Half a month later, they entered Shang Jing City.

The capital city of the Grand Xia Empire was very prosperous, and it was bustling with noise and excitement no matter what time it was.

Gu Jinzhu sat in the car as she slowly drove, listening to the incessant chatter outside.

She quietly lifted the curtain of thin blue silk and looked out.

There were rows upon rows of shops on both sides of the broad and flat limestone road. Restaurants, fabric shops, gold and silver jewelry stores, shops that sold rouge and cosmetics, shops that sold all kinds of snacks, everything.

Compared to the small and delicate state of Jiangnan, Shengjing was undoubtedly more graceful and grand. It was connected to a red wall and green tiles, bringing out a faint eaves from a corner of a building in the distance.

Of the three, no doubt Bi Shi was the most excited. She leaned against the window looking forward to it, her face full of excitement, and she kept exclaiming, ”Look, girl, there's a person who can pinch mud. Ah, it's like that!” ”The steamed buns at that house are so fragrant …”

Gu Jinzhu smiled and didn't restrain herself. Ever since they left Binzhou City, it was rare to see this girl so excited.

Yun Xiang was a little helpless as she said, ”Stop looking. Hurry up and help this lady pack up. We're about to enter the mansion …”

Bea hurried over, and together with Yun Xiang she rearranged Gu Jinzhu's makeup.

The journey was tiring, and Yun Xiang could not help but feel a tinge of weariness. She knew that the Gu Residence was a place of low status, and they didn't want their young miss to be looked down by others.

She took out a dark green and silver silk dress with the pattern of a butterfly, giving Gu Jinzhu a fresh comb. She wore a pair of golden silk colored butterflies, giving her a fresh and dignified look, it was the most appropriate time to meet an elder.

The carriage passed through several streets, and someone came to pick them up. It was the servant of the Gu Estate, welcoming the eldest miss back.

Gu Jinzhu knew that someone had already sent a letter to the Gu Estate, so the Gu Estate knew that they had arrived today. The Gu Estate followed Gu Yiqing's orders and escorted her all the way to the Gu Estate before bidding farewell to the Duke of Gu, bringing its guards with them.
