Reborn in a Noble Family - Chapter 193
Chapter 193 My Girl
The next day.
Gu Jinzhen’s bedroom was brightly lit. On the bed, the soft couch was filled with clothes that he casually took out. Gu Jinzhen stood quietly in front of the half-man-tall bronze mirror, leaning to his left and right, looking at the black robe on his body.
The bronze mirror was polished very smoothly, and coupled with the bright candlelight, the reflection of the figure was still very clear.
Gu Jinzhen examined it very carefully and even took a closer look.
“Tell me, isn’t it better for me to wear that black one?” Gu Jinzhen sincerely asked for Tang Yuan’s opinion.
The corner of Tang Yuan’s mouth twitched.
Master had been tossing and turning for an hour, and all the clothes in the cabinet had been flipped out, including winter clothes and summer clothes. Each set of clothes had been tested twice, but Master had not chosen anything satisfactory.
“Master,” Tang Yuan said very seriously, ‘”Your suit is perfect. Black is too old for you to wear outside. But you are going out with Miss Qiao today, so you naturally have to wear something brighter. Furthermore, this black suit suits you the best. Whether it is the color or style, it is the most popular one this year. It was specially made by the Old Madame for Ni Cai Pavilion. This is unique in the entire capital.”
Gu Jinzhen loved to hear this.
Unique.
Wasn’t Qiao Qiao unique to him?
“Alright then, let’s take this one.”
Seeing Master let go, Tang Yuan also heaved a sigh of relief.
After tossing and turning for an hour, he finally stopped.
It was still early, but Gu Jinzhen, who couldn’t hold back any longer, still rode out on horseback, followed by a carriage.
Hurry up, you can get to the courtyard that Qiao Qiao rented earlier, and then the two of them can take a carriage to the suburbs together.
Gu Jinzhen had arranged everything properly.
Logically speaking, he had to come with a gift, but Qiao Yunxi didn’t think it was necessary to take advantage of Qiao Lao Si’s family, and Gu Jin Zhen did what Qiao Yunxi said and what he did.
After finding out that his savior was Qiao Yunxi, Gu Jinzhen had doubts about everything in his previous life and had been investigating.
Gu Jinzhen and Tang Yuan were very fast. When they reached the courtyard, the sky was still gray and there was still an hour before the appointed time.
Gu Jinzhen got off his horse and stood at the corner quietly looking at the tightly closed door.
Very quickly, a woman came in and out. She was a woman purchased from the kitchen. Then, there was movement in the front yard.
Gu Jinzhen thought for a moment and jumped.
Tang Yuan was so scared that his face turned pale that he hurriedly followed.
This time, Qiao Ximing came to the capital with Old Four Qiao, but he secretly brought the people from the Gu Clan. At the end of the new year, the few people who knew martial arts from Chaotian Gate followed him in the shadows. Therefore, when Gu Jinzhen leapt onto the wall, the few of them noticed it. In addition, Gu Jinzhen did not conceal his movements, so in just a few breaths, seven or eight people in the shadows surrounded him.
Gu Jinzhen nodded slightly, satisfied with their reactions.
“Master?” The rice cake was sandwiched between these people and looked at the master who was climbing the wall in surprise.
“Your reaction is not bad. Continue to work harder!” Gu Jinzhen said seriously.
Only then did the dantian of luck stabilize its center of gravity and prevent it from falling.
Seeing that they were acquainted with Rice Cake, the few people surrounding them stared at Gu Jinzhen with caution even though they did not immediately make a move.
Gu Jinzhen did not make any other movements. He sat cross-legged on the wall and looked at Qiao Xi’s bedroom.
After knowing about the rice cake, he realized what his master was thinking.
She blushed for her master and looked to the side with a wobbly expression in her eyes.
Soon, there was a movement in her ears. Then, Astragalus membranaceus and Lycium barbarum came out. One person walked towards Qiao Xi’s bedroom and the other towards the kitchen.
Gu Jinzhen knew that when Qiao Xi was sleeping, she did not like the vigil in the room. Either the maidservant was outside the door or she was chased back to her room to rest.
The smile at the corner of his mouth was even deeper. He clearly couldn’t see anything, but Gu Jinzhen’s gaze at Qiao Yunxi’s bedroom was both focused and charming.
Lycium barbarum moved very quickly, and the hot water was immediately delivered.
Gu Jinzhen’s martial arts skills were excellent, and his ears were extraordinary. The rustling sound in the bedroom could be heard clearly. When he thought of something, his face immediately turned red, and his breathing became heavier.
He leaned his ears and listened, as if there was a voice speaking.
Gu Jinzhen’s dark eyes shattered into a few rays of dazzling starlight.
He even heard Qiao Yunxi’s lazy complaint.
Gu Jinzhen rubbed his nose and asked Tang Yuan to make the cushion in the carriage thicker so that Qiao Yunxi could rest in the carriage.
Nanny Shen came in with the food box in her hand. Just as she stepped into the courtyard, she immediately turned around vigilantly and looked in Gu Jinzhen’s direction.
Gu Jinzhen did not conceal anything. He sat carelessly at the top of the wall. There were dumplings and rice cakes on both sides. The seven or eight guards surrounded him. The broadsword in his hand released a cold aura in the dawn.
Nanny Shen glared warily at Gu Jinzhen.
The latter did not have the slightest bit of self-awareness to be captured and laughed like an idiot.
Everyone in the room was packed up. Qiao Xi used her breakfast, packed up and prepared to go out.
With a creak, the bedroom door was pushed open.
Gu Jinzhen took a deep breath and looked at the dark door with burning eyes.
In an instant, all the light squeezed towards the bedroom door from all directions. In the dawn, one could even see the floating dust floating at the door, up and down, surrounding Qiao Yunxi.
The moment the figure appeared, Gu Jinzhen held his breath. His movements were too large, and his chest also lifted up. It was as if he had emptied his body of all his strength. Following that, he was filled with happiness. He pressed down heavily and the air returned to his body.
After the air was washed, Gu Jinzhen felt as if he had been completely reborn and reborn.
Qiao Yunxi buried his head and was talking to Mammy Shen. The corners of his mouth curled up playfully, and the corners of his slightly raised eyes were filled with the craftiness of a young girl.
Mammy Shen’s face was calm, and the corners of his eyes seemed to glance in Gu Jinzhen’s direction, as if he was warning and surveillance.
Qiao Xi nodded heavily, as if she was responding to Nanny Shen’s warning. Astragalus membranaceus and Lycium barbarum also had serious expressions on their faces.
Gu Jin Zhen smiled softly. His waist turned and he flew down from the wall. He returned to the courtyard and walked towards the corner at the end of the street.
The carriage had been waiting for a long time.
Tang Yuan lifted the curtain and Gu Jinzhen got into the carriage.
The carriage staggered to the courtyard gate, and Qiao Yunxi and the others just happened to come out.
“Qiao Qiao.”
“Mm, your timing is really accurate.” Qiao Yunxi smiled sweetly.
Gu Jinzhen got off the carriage and let Qiao Yunxi get on first, then he followed.
“Heater?” Before he could sit down, Qiao Yunxi asked.
Gu Jinzhen nodded. “The temperature difference between morning and evening in the capital in May is very big. We went to the outskirts again, so we prepared a heater.”
That’s sweet of you.
Qiao Xi did not say these words and only muttered in her heart.
Qiao Xi sat at the low table, her entire body warm.
The stove in Gu Jinzhen’s carriage was very cleverly designed. Under the low table, there was no way. The carriage did not smell of charcoal, not even smoke. The cold aura was like … mint?
“Mint?” With that thought in his heart, Qiao Yunxi asked.
Gu Jinzhen poured a glass of honey water for Qiao Yunxi. “The taste of mint is refreshing. It can neutralize the smell of charcoal fire and refresh the mind.”
“You will enjoy it.” Qiao Yunxi teased.
Gu Jinzhen laughed, “This is this year’s cauliflower honey. Try it.”
Qiao Yunxi took a sip and frowned.
“You don’t like it?” Gu Jinzhen asked nervously, his fingers tightening slightly as he gripped the cup.
“It tastes different.” Qiao Yunxi pouted.
Gu Jinzhen heaved a sigh of relief and explained, “This is the cauliflower honey of the frontier.”
“Nanjiang?”
Seeing Gu Jinzhen nod, Qiao Yunxi asked curiously, “Does the southern border also grow cauliflower?”
“Naturally, it’s planted. Otherwise, what are the soldiers going to eat?”
“Military rations?” Qiao Yunxi asked vaguely, but Gu Jinzhen understood what she meant.
“When there is no war, the warriors will grow some vegetables and be self-sufficient.”
Qiao Yunxi was silent.
He had watched a lot of ancient costume TV, and had comprehended all the tricks in the middle. Moreover, similar problems also existed now, so there was nothing strange about it.
The two of them chatted in the carriage. Tang Yuan and Rice Cake steadily drove the carriage to the suburbs.
Fragrant Mountain.
The most famous scenic spot in the capital.
Even in later generations, this place was still the liveliest place for holidays, only people could be seen, no scenery could be seen.
Although it was not the best season to climb Fragrant Mountain, the spring fragrant mountain was lush and luxuriant, giving it a different flavor.
The two of them walked side by side on the mountain road. At first, Qiao Yunxi could still talk to Gu Jinzhen intermittently, but when he couldn’t keep up with his stamina, he didn’t speak anymore.
“I’ll carry you?” Gu Jinzhen blushed and said.
Qiao Yunxi wasn’t embarrassed, he just felt that it was strange why he had to reach the top of the mountain.
Gu Jinzhen explained, “There is a stone stele at the top of the mountain with a person’s name engraved on it.”
“A very important name?” Qiao Yunxi had a faint guess in his heart.
Sure enough, Gu Jinzhen said, “Those are all soldiers who sacrificed themselves for the dynasty. There are ordinary soldiers and valiant soldiers. Anyone who can find their names is engraved on them.”
“Then I want to go!” Qiao Yunxi said immediately.
No matter which dynasty, period, or place, these people should be respected the most!
Gu Jinzhen looked at Qiao Yunxi with burning eyes.
This was his girl!
Sure enough, it was unique and unique.
Qiao Yunxi insisted on leaving on his own.
It wasn’t bravery, it was respect and respect for the soldiers!
Gu Jinzhen keenly sensed that Qiao Yunxi’s aura was different from before. He felt even more fortunate in his heart-not only did he encounter his savior, but he also understood what he was thinking.
When he reached the top of the mountain, Qiao Yunxi saw an empty flat ground and the maple forest.
She didn’t expect the summit to be so spacious, which was somewhat surprising.
The bluestone slabs beneath his feet were neatly laid. Each piece was polished very smoothly, without a single leaf or stain. Every day, someone was assigned to clean it.
Qiao Xi carefully stepped on the bluestone slab and took a step forward.
Each bluestone slab was the same size, arranged neatly, and had a smooth surface. One could tell that there were always people walking on it at a glance.
There was a small wooden house in front of him. It should be occupied by the monument keeper.
