Among the many women from aristocratic families, Gu Rujiu's riding skills can only be regarded as good or bad, but in any competition, she has never come out on top, and she has never fallen behind. Look down.
However, everyone knows that the Gu family's ancestral home is Qingyuan Prefecture, and none of the ancestors made their fortunes by martial arts, so Gu Rujiu's riding skills can be at such a level, which makes many women from aristocratic families feel emotional in private. And the wives who have children and nephews of the right age have already moved their minds and include Gu Rujiu in the marriage option.
Gu Changling's lineage is a branch of the Gu family's direct line in Qingyuan Prefecture. When the Gu family was down a hundred years ago, there were brothers from the direct line who came to Beijing to develop. Unexpectedly, the Gu family turned over again and gained a firm foothold in the capital.
In fact, many branches of aristocratic families in the capital are like the ancestors of the Gu family, who moved from their ancestral home to the capital to gain fame and fortune, but not all aristocratic families are as lucky as the Gu family. They were decent; some gradually fell into disrepair, and finally their names were removed from the family tree.
This time the capital earthquake, Gu Changling was able to give advice and warning in advance. This move is enough to make him leave a mark in the history books. How many people in the world can predict disasters? Gu Changling did it, and saved hundreds of thousands of people in the capital. In the future, even if there are no people with both political integrity and talent in the Gu family, as long as they don't twitch their minds and do things they shouldn't, they will still be able to live happily in recent decades.
As a result, the Gu family has become a very good in-law object, but it is a pity that three of the two sons and two daughters of Gu Hou have already married, and only the youngest daughter is still spoiled in her boudoir.
Eleven or twelve-year-old girls could have met the people they liked in advance, but the people in the Gu family seemed to have no idea about it. Even if someone came to the door to mention it, they were blocked by the head mistress of the Gu family, Mrs. Yang. . Even when Yang's mother's family came to inquire, she did not let go.
It has long been rumored that Gu Changling is the youngest daughter among several children, but now it seems to be true. Otherwise, the Li family asked someone to ask them a few days ago, but the Gu family didn't respond.
That is the Li family, which is as famous as the Sima family. If others encountered the Li family and asked, I am afraid they would have agreed long ago.
It was also because of this episode that when Li Huaigu, the Erlang of the Li family, appeared, many people were eager to watch the fun, hoping that something would happen.
It's a pity that with the upbringing of Li and Gu, how could he have lost his identity in front of everyone's eyes
"Miss Gu," Li Huaigu sat proudly on the horseback and greeted Gu Rujiu with a smile, "How are you doing?"
"Young Master Li," Gu Rujiu smiled back and patted the horse's head, and the horse stopped, looking very spiritual, "It's good."
Li Huaigu saw that she was just rubbing the horse's head, and the horse stopped obediently, with a gentle smile in his eyes: "It's really a good horse." What he wanted to say more was that only a good owner can make a horse like this. spirituality.
When the horse was praised, Gu Rujiu, the owner, was also very happy. The smile on his face became obvious. Hearing the sound of a horsewhip behind her, she looked back and saw that several young masters of aristocratic families were galloping on horses, but this pedestrian After seeing the two of them, the speed slowed down.
In fact, the young masters of a few noble families don't quite understand Li Huaigu's vision. Although this girl from the Gu family looks good, what's the point of looking like a pink dumpling? In their opinion, the girls from the Sima family are the most beautiful, and the girls from the Li family are also very dazzling.
Like Gu Rujiu, they also like it very much. Who doesn't know that they like children who look soft and white? But this kind of love can't have a relationship between men and women, and it makes people feel embarrassed to have that kind of thoughts. I always feel that it is a bit of a beast to be obscene to this kind of girl.
That's why Li Huaigu had such thoughts towards Gu Rujiu, and they were very surprised. They didn't expect Li Jiaerlang to have such a special hobby.
Li Huaigu saw these noble sons stop and greeted a few people. After he chatted with a few people for a few words, even Gu Rujiu had already walked a distance on his horse. He glanced at a few peers beside him, hesitated for a moment and didn't follow.
Yang Wenji was Yang Xixue's elder brother and Gu Rujiu's cousin. He saw this scene not far away and shook his head. Even if this Li Huaigu had a little thought for the Gu family cousin, he wouldn't have much thought, otherwise he would have caught up long ago.
As a man, what are you doing so reserved in front of the girl you miss? Feelings that are too reserved will not be deep.
Zhang Yuqin and Yang Xixue were waiting in front early, and when Gu Rujiu caught up, the two smiled at Gu Rujiu.
The two did not ask about Gu Rujiu and Li Huaigu. In their opinion, Gu Rujiu and Li Huaigu were not suitable. They hoped to find someone with a firm personality and willing to hold her in their palms for a long time. Li Huaigu was not a good choice. It's not that they are not curious, but because they are worried that there will be more of this person in Jiujiu's premise, so that Jiujiu's lack of thought will also make them think twice, so they simply don't ask.
The three of them didn't like to be competitive, so they simply chatted leisurely behind the large army. From rural rumors to clothes and jewelry, from recipes to what happened to who's family, they were all within the scope of their chatting.
"I heard that the uncle of Zhongding was beaten a few days ago," Zhang Yuqin whispered, "I don't even have the nerve to go to the court."
The family of Wei Dingbo, Marquis of Zhongcheng, was an upstart. When the late emperor was alive, he was given the title of a third-class earl because he was good at pleasing him.
But even if the Wei family had a third-class earl, the aristocratic family didn't like to pay attention to his family. Usually, the young masters and young ladies of the aristocratic family would not take the initiative to invite their family. It is true that the aristocratic family rejects the newcomers, but there are many newcomers in the DPRK. Even if the aristocratic families are not enthusiastic enough to treat them, they will not explicitly exclude them as they did to the Wei family.
Because the behavior of the Wei family was so disgusting, when the late emperor was there, relying on a daughter who was a noble concubine in the family, he did a lot of things that people looked down on. Wei Dingzu's original name was Wei Baofu. After his daughter became a noble concubine and was named a third-class uncle, he believed that he had honored his ancestors, so he changed his name to Dingzu with a big face. The family was stunned by his self-confidence.
It doesn't matter if he changed his name, he still released people wantonly in the house, and the matter of pampering his concubine was known to many people outside.
As long as any noble family wants to be respected, who will take a bunch of concubines in the house, let alone concubines, they will not even have a warm bed and a room. Is it good to hear the name of lust
Some self-proclaimed literati have a bunch of confidantes outside, but who sees them bringing people into the house? But even so, in the eyes of the aristocratic families, this kind of literati will be classified into the category of acceptable literary talent and deficient private morality.
"What's the matter with the eldest son of the Wei family?" Yang Xixue asked curiously. No wonder she asked this, because Dalang Wei has become more and more outrageous in recent years, and he must have made a mistake first when he was beaten. So when she heard Zhang Yuqin's words, the first thing she asked was what Dalang Wei did, not who hit him. From this, it can also be seen that in the eyes of the aristocratic family, the Wei family really has nothing to shine.
"What else can I do, take my concubine on my back," Zhang Yuqin said with some contempt, "I heard that his wife chased him out of the gate with a knife, and chased after him for half a street. Right now there is a commotion. How about He Li?"
"Such a man deserves to be beaten to death," Yang Xixue snorted, "they Wei family thought it was when the late emperor was there."
Speaking of this, the two remembered that Jiujiu's father was the emperor's teacher, so they glanced at Gu Rujiu, and it was difficult to talk about royal gossip.
Gu Rujiu heard it right, and when she saw that the two of them stopped talking, she said, "The Concubine Wei Gui has no children or daughters. Fortunately, the Empress Dowager is kind and kind, so she was left to retire in the palace. But as a concubine, she does not govern her family. , I am really ashamed of the Queen Mother's grace."
Zhang Yuqin and Yang Xixue were stunned for a moment, yes, the Wei family is so noisy, isn't it a reason for the empress dowager to clean up the concubine Wei Gui? Who didn't know that Concubine Wei Gui dared to show herself in front of the Queen Mother by taking advantage of her youth and beauty, and now I don't know where to hide and regret it.
But... how did you think of this for a long time
The two of them looked at each other, only to see Gu Rujiu's innocent smiling face, and couldn't help but think, maybe Jiu Jiu just said a few words and didn't think so much, right
Just when the three were gossiping about the Wei family, an accident happened on the racecourse.
At this time, the flowers are in full bloom, and there are many insects such as butterflies and bees. I don't know that the bee that flew out of the flower bush actually startled the horse of a certain girl of the Li family, causing the girl of the Li family to fall off the horse, and the girl of the Sima family who was chasing after her was also killed by the young girl in front of her. As soon as the horse stopped, he also fell down, his head hit the ground hard, and his neck was broken.
Broken... neck
Gu Rujiu stared blankly at the steward running around in a hurry. She was a little dazed, and she forgot to get off the horse for a while.
"Jiu Jiu," Yang Xixue saw that her face was wrong, and she was also a little pale as she grabbed Gu Rujiu's hand, "Don't be afraid."
Manager Zhao was in a cold sweat at this time, his calf was shaking, and he almost fainted. But he can't faint yet, not only to send someone to report to the peak, but also to arrange the affairs of the horse farm.
A girl from the Sima family broke her neck and died on the spot, and the girl from the Li family lost her breath before the doctor came. The two most prominent girls in the capital lost their lives, and his life is over. At this time, he had nothing else to ask for, except that he would not implicate his wife, children, and parents.
"Are you the steward here?" A young lady riding a short white horse suddenly appeared in front of him with a very pleasant voice, "You send someone to take care of the horses in the stable, and don't hurt anyone."
Hearing this young lady's words, Director Zhao's original despair miraculously eased somewhat. He boldly looked at the young lady on the horse, and in surprise, he thought he saw the fairy child beside the mysterious lady.
I saw that this young lady, Yu Xue, was cute and delicate, so that Manager Zhao dared not look at it again.
"Xiaguan has seen Gu Xianjun." At this time, the people sent by Taipu Temple arrived, and the leader glanced at Zhao Guanshi and dismounted to salute the young lady.
Zhao Guan was suddenly stunned, no wonder he looked so extravagant, it turned out to be a county prince.
"My lords are doing things, it's inconvenient for the little girl to disturb you, lords do it at your own discretion." Although he lowered his head, Director Zhao felt that the county lord seemed to have glanced at him.
"This steward seems quite safe, let him take someone to comfort the frightened horses."
With such a simple sentence, Director Zhao was saved and did not become a victim of this unwarranted disaster.
