Yu Jiao smiled at him, grabbed the reins, and rode away. Gu Yun rode his horse behind her, focusing all his attention on her, in case Yu Jiao fell off the horse so that he could rescue her in time.
There was a Shili Pavilion not far away. Liu Yaoyu and his companions had already decided the winner and were sitting in the pavilion to rest and talk.
Seeing Wei Min looking outside the pavilion from time to time, looking rather absent-minded, Cui Qiong said, "Why are you distracted? You won first place and won a piece of jewelry from the Treasure Pavilion from each of us, but you are not happy?"
Wei Min came back to his senses, "If you can't bear to part with it, forget it."
"No, it's just a piece of jewelry. I'm not that stingy." Cui Qiong said hurriedly.
Song Jingrong hesitated for a moment and said, "I heard that your mother is looking for someone for you?"
Wei Min's brows showed a hint of sadness. She nodded slightly and said with a wry smile, "My mother said that I'm old. If I delay for a few more years, it might be difficult to find a husband."
"So that's what you're worried about." Liu Yaoyu comforted her, "Aunt Wei must have good taste and will definitely choose a suitable husband for you."
Chen Wan knew that Wei Min liked Gu Yun, and guessed the reason why Wei Min was in a bad mood, so she said, "We have been sitting for a while, why don't we go back and see if Young Marquis Gu has taught Yu Jiao how to ride?"
Cui Qiong was the first to stand up and get the horse. The others were about to leave the pavilion when they saw two people riding horses coming towards them on the aisle.
Yu Jiao also saw the people standing in the pavilion. She pulled the reins hard, causing the horse to stop. Gu Yun, who was following closely behind him, also stopped his horse.
Liu Yaoyu's eyes lit up, and she smiled and praised her, "Third sister, you learned it so quickly?"
Yu Jiao grabbed the saddle, got off the horse, and stood still before she happily said to Liu Yaoyu, "I'm not very good at riding, but I can barely say I've learned it."
She turned back to look at Gu Yun, "Thanks to Young Marquis Gu for teaching me everything he knew."
Gu Yun also got off the horse, looked at her and smiled, "You are smart, you learn quickly."
Wei Min, who was not far away, watched this scene and bit her lips unconsciously until she felt the pain. Then she came to her senses and restrainedly looked away.
She no longer blamed Yu Jiao in her heart, but she still couldn't help feeling uncomfortable when she saw Gu Yun standing with her.
She also doesn't want to complain about the world, feel sorry for herself, be cute and make people jealous, be selfish, or be narrow-minded.
Wei Min didn't know where she got the courage from at this moment. She looked at Gu Yun steadily and said, "Young Marquis Gu, may I have a word with you?"
Gu Yun was slightly startled, then nodded and followed Wei Min to a place a little further away from the pavilion.
Wei Min stood beside a willow tree, looking at Gu Yun deeply, with her eyes full of admiration and love.
Gu Yun was a little confused by her stare. He uncomfortably broke off a willow branch and took the initiative to ask, "You are the daughter of Minister Wei, right? What do you want from me?"
After hearing this, Wei Min's lips tightened a little, and she couldn't stop feeling sad. She smiled sadly, "Sure enough... Young Marquis Gu didn't remember me."
Gu Yun was a little confused and a trace of embarrassment flashed across his face. He only knew that Wei Min was the daughter of Wei Zhong, the Minister of Justice, and he could barely recognize her. He really didn't understand why Wei Min said that.
"On the Lantern Festival in the fifth year of Mingzheng, which was six years ago, I met a beggar on the street and was knocked unconscious. You saved me from the human traffickers." Wei Min finished speaking and laughed at himself, "Young Marquis Gu should not remember it."
Gu Yun suddenly realized, "It turned out to be you. I remember it. At that time, I had just returned to the capital from Lingnan." During the Lantern Festival that year, he was driven out by his mother to watch the lanterns on the street. He saw a few people carrying sacks and acting stealthily. He determined at a glance that there were people in the sacks, so he quietly followed them.
He found out that those people were actually beggars, so he rescued two unconscious girls from their hands.
Thinking back now, Gu Yun had some impression of Wei Min. He remembered the two girls he rescued. One cried after waking up, but the other girl didn't cry or make a fuss. Although she was trembling all over, she pretended to be calm and asked him his name and where he lived. She said she would bring her family to repay his kindness when she returned home.
