The figure of Gu Xinian riding a horse came into view.
It was a snow-white horse, without a trace of hair on its body, and it was extremely handsome. Even people who knew nothing about horses could tell at a glance that this was a rare and good horse. The face of the young man on the horse
He was handsome, with a slight smile on his lips, which seemed to glow with a faint halo under the warm sunshine.
Ye Qinglan secretly praised Gu Xinian's body, then moved her eyes to the white horse.
Huh? This horse seems familiar...
Ye Qinglan thought for a moment and then remembered it. The painting of galloping horses that she saw in Izuyunxuan's study a few days ago was the horse in front of her. However, the horse in the painting was galloping hard, and the docile look in front of her was different.
The look is completely different.
Gu Xiyu saw that she was looking at her intently, so she couldn't help but come closer. The two of them leaned their heads together and looked out together, very intimately.
"This horse is so beautiful." Ye Qinglan praised in a low voice: "I have never seen such a majestic horse in my life."
Gu Xiyu smiled: "This horse is called Tayun, and it was given to my eldest brother by the third prince's cousin."
The third prince’s cousin? Ye Qinglan was stunned for a moment before she realized what she was talking about. The third prince’s cousin mentioned by Gu Xiyu was Zhao Zhang, the son of Concubine Zheng.
The prince Zhao Xuan is Gu Xinian's aunt and cousin, and the third prince Zhao Zhang is his aunt and cousin. If Gu Xinian was determined to become an official, he would have a bright future. But Gu Xinian spent his days idle, focusing on his love.
Reading poetry and painting. Is all this just because Shen Qiuyu married another person? Why does she always feel that there are some reasons that no one else knows...
It's strange, why does she always think about Gu Xinian unconsciously?
Ye Qinglan calmed down, put away the random thoughts in her mind, and put down the sedan curtain in her hand.
The sedan was lifted up, not swaying, but even stable. Ye Qinglan and Gu Xiyu sat in the sedan and chatted casually to pass the time.
Ye Qinglan calmly brought the topic to Zheng Junyan: "...I heard that cousin Zheng is studying in the Imperial College and will attend Qiu Wei today."
Gu Xiyu was obviously not interested in Zheng Junyan's affairs, so she casually agreed and remained silent.
Ye Qinglan suddenly understood. Gu Xiyu had always suffered from autism, and was much slower than girls of the same age. She had never experienced the first love. In Gu Xiyu's heart, Zheng Junyan was just a cousin.
Ye Qinglan probed again: "Cousin Xiyu, what do you think of Cousin Zheng?"
How about what? Gu Xiyu looked confused: "What do you want to ask?"
Ye Qinglan was dumbfounded. Gu Xiyu was sometimes very slow. For example, when it came to dealing with the world, he was far from smart. But sometimes he was surprisingly sharp, like at this moment...
Ye Qinglan coughed and smiled: "Actually, it's nothing. I just asked casually. Do you think Cousin Zheng is good-looking?"
Don't think that appearance is superficial. In fact, people are sensory animals. Good-looking people always have a lot of advantages. For example, if Gu Xinian was ordinary or even ugly, would Ye Qingning still like him so persistently?
Gu Xiyu thought for a while, nodded, and then shook her head.
Ye Qinglan was also a little confused by her reaction: "Why are you nodding and shaking your head?"
Gu Xiyu replied: "He is not as good-looking as his eldest brother." With a handsome man like Gu Xinian around, all the handsome young men suddenly became gloomy.
Ye Qinglan was amused by this answer, and joked half-truthfully: "You like your elder brother so much. Will you be unhappy when he gets married and starts a family in the future?"
Gu Xiyu nodded confidently.
Ye Qinglan scolded herself in her heart. Why did she get involved in this? Gu Xiyu's brother-love complex was so obvious that she had to be guided on the "right path" as soon as possible.
Ye Qinglan coughed and was about to give a long speech to "brainwash" Gu Xiyu, when she suddenly heard Gu Xiyu say: "If it were you, I wouldn't be angry."
…
Ye Qinglan was choked. The level of shock was no less than the moment when she discovered that she had traveled through time: "Cousin Xiyu, this joke is not funny at all." She and Gu Xinian? How is it possible!!!
Gu Xiyu blinked and revealed a naughty smile: "Isn't it because you care so much about your elder brother because you like him?"
Ye Qinglan immediately solemnly declared: "Absolutely not, I have absolutely no bad thoughts about Cousin Gu." Although his appearance and temperament are very suitable for her aesthetics, as soon as she thinks of his dark and unpredictable temperament, she immediately
There was no trace of reverie.
If she wanted to live a peaceful life, it was best to stay as far away from him as possible. She didn't want to live in fear and trembling all day long.
Seeing Ye Qinglan react so fiercely, Gu Xiyu was a little surprised: "I'm just joking, why are you so excited?"
…
Is she really excited?
Ye Qinglan coughed unnaturally, and then returned to the original topic: "Cousin Xiyu, let me give you an analogy. If cousin Zheng says he likes you... I mean if, how would you feel in your heart?"
Gu Xiyu looked confused, obviously not understanding what Ye Qinglan was talking about. Why did today's topic always revolve around Cousin Zheng? Although she and he were cousins, they had not even spoken a few words at all.
Not familiar with either.
Ye Qinglan was always very patient when dealing with people with long reflex arcs, so she repeated the question again.
This time, Gu Xiyu finally reacted, her dark eyes full of confusion: "I don't know." Because she had never thought about such a problem.
Ye Qinglan laughed and coaxed gently: "Then think about it now. If cousin Zheng says that he likes you and wants to marry you, will you be willing?"
Gu Xiyu reacted quickly this time and shook her head quickly.
Ye Qinglan silently sympathized with Zheng Junyan in her heart. He liked Gu Xiyu wishfully, but Gu Xiyu didn't even have the slightest special affection for him. In fact, judging from Gu Xiyu's reaction, Zheng Junyan had a different relationship with passerby A in her heart.
There is no difference.
This topic can be brought to an end for now!
Ye Qinglan stopped mentioning Zheng Junyan and casually chatted with Gu Xiyu for a few words while pricking up her ears to listen to what was going on outside.
It had been quiet just now, but now I don't know where I went, but it was very lively. There were footsteps of passers-by, noisy voices, and various sounds of hawking and shouting. It seemed that I had arrived at a bustling and lively street.
No wonder I didn't go out in a carriage this time. Such a lively street is full of pedestrians. It is inconvenient to drive a carriage, but it is not as convenient as a sedan.
Ye Qinglan was so curious about the outside that she couldn't help but quietly lift the curtain. Her movements were very subtle and careful, revealing only a two-finger-wide gap, which was just enough to see outside, but people outside could not see clearly the faces of the people in the sedan.
Gu Xiyu also came closer, their heads pressed closely together, like chicks looking out curiously from their shells, full of curiosity about everything outside.
"Look, there's a candied haws seller over there." Ye Qinglan's tone was a little excited, and she unconsciously tugged on Gu Xiyu's sleeve.
This was the ancient street she imagined. Pedestrians coming and going, hawkers selling and shouting everywhere, and various shops. Although it was a bit noisy, it was so lively. It gave her a deep understanding.
The reality of living in the moment.
Gu Xiyu has always stayed close to the front door, but she has never seen such a bustling market.
Although she was still not used to noisy crowds, as long as no one was staring at her, she felt a lot more at ease. She and Ye Qinglan were talking quietly and couldn't help but get excited.
Ye Qinglan suddenly had a strong impulse. It would be great if she could walk around the street hand in hand with Gu Xiyu. Just like in later generations, go shopping with friends without buying anything, just wander around casually. Then
This feeling must be very pleasant!
It's a pity that things that were commonplace in later generations are almost impossible at this time.
Daughters of ordinary people's families are not allowed to go out at will until they leave the palace, let alone the daughter of a noble family who is raised in the boudoir? Even if there is a rare opportunity to go out, she will either sit in a carriage or a sedan chair.
.This small world is like a cage, imprisoning her in it, unable to escape...
Ye Qinglan's mood suddenly felt a little low, and she lost interest in continuing to read.
Gu Xiyu was watching with great interest. Seeing that Ye Qinglan suddenly lost her voice, she was a little surprised: "Why don't you watch? Such an opportunity is really rare!"
Ye Qinglan didn't explain anything. Not to mention that Gu Xiyu couldn't understand, even if she could understand, where should she start? A wisp of soul from later generations, but lodged in the body of a delicate girl. Such a ridiculous thing
, who would believe it if you tell it?
She was destined to keep this secret silently in her heart for the rest of her life.
Ye Qinglan pursed her lips and lowered her eyelids.
At this moment, a strange movement suddenly came from not far away.
Gu Xiyu softly said "Huh". Ye Qinglan shook off the chaotic thoughts and raised his eyes to look over. At this sight, he suddenly burst into laughter, and the previous depression disappeared immediately.
A young man in a blue robe somehow bumped into a salesman's load. The beads, silk, flower powder and other stuff inside were scattered all over the floor. The salesman was angry and anxious, and grabbed the young man in green clothes and wouldn't let go, shouting.
Let him pay for it.
The young man in green blushed and stammered: "I, I don't have any money with me..."
The salesman didn't believe it, so he insisted on holding him on. As the crowd of onlookers grew, the sedans carried by Mrs. Sun and Mrs. Zheng passed by. But the sedans carried by Ye Qinglan and Gu Xiyu were blocked, and they were blocked at all.
make life difficult for.
Although the bearers were anxious, they could only hold back their temper and wait.
I thought that the crowd would disperse within a few moments, but I didn’t expect that the excitement inside had escalated. The salesman noticed with sharp eyes that the young man in green had something valuable on him, and forced him to give it in exchange. (To be continued. If you like this work,
