Chapter 1332 Beautiful Love
Ripple said ambiguously:
"I don't know, let's see what happens next."
At this time, the carriage slowly stopped, and the guards from the Gu Mansion caught up.
Lianyi turned around and put a veil on Gu Die'er, revealing only her full forehead, the peach blossom ornament between her eyebrows, and a pair of clear and bright beautiful eyes. She lowered her voice and instructed:
"You are a woman, you need to be reserved and mysterious, and remember to leave yourself room for maneuver when doing things."
Gu Die'er nodded, adjusted her veil, and whispered:
"Don't worry, Lianyi, I understand!"
Lianyi also put on a veil, then opened the door of the carriage, jumped off the carriage first, bowed to Xin Yuan, and then said:
"Thank you for your help, my young lady has been saved from a disaster. May I know your name and where you live? The Gu family will come to thank you."
Xin Yuan's eyes met Lianyi's calm eyes, and his eyes lit up. He then turned over and jumped off the horse that had been controlled, and then politely bowed and said:
"You are too polite, young lady. It is just a small favor. You don't need to come and thank me."
Lian Yi listened to the other party's words and continued:
"You are too polite, sir. Since you don't like to bother me, please tell me your name so that the Gu family will remember this favor."
"My name is Xin Yuan. I am from Kyoto. I came here for study. I heard that the peach blossom forest outside Youzhou City is a beautiful place, so I came here alone to enjoy the flowers."
"What a coincidence! My young lady is also here to enjoy the flowers. In that case, we can go together."
Ripple suggested.
"Miss invites me, Xin Yuanyuan will not refuse."
Xin Yuan immediately bowed.
The purpose of his visit was to get to know the young lady of the Gu family. This first step went very smoothly, so he did not pretend to refuse. After all, there was only one road leading to the peach blossom forest outside the city. If he insisted on avoiding it, it would seem deliberate.
Lianyi bowed again and asked about the driver. After changing the horses, the two teams set off towards the peach blossom forest one after the other.
After Lianyi got on the carriage, Gu Dieer spoke:
"This Young Master Xin Yuan is handsome and looks very steady despite his young age. He has an indescribable aura and feels different from us."
Lianyi nodded, indicating that the little girl had good eyesight. She could see almost everything with just a glance through the car curtain. Xin Yuan's aura was naturally extraordinary. He was the grandson of heaven in heaven and a descendant of the emperor in the mortal world.
"Then what kind of gift should we prepare to express our gratitude?"
Gu Dieer continued to ask.
"Looking at Master Xin Yuan's demeanor, he must be from a good family. The horse he rode was a good horse, which was worth at least a thousand taels of silver, so we can't just use silver to send him away.
But because of your good family background, you should be a very particular person. When we go to the peach forest to enjoy the flowers, I will send you a set of snacks and barbecue utensils prepared at home, some of our marinated beef, and a pot of peach wine you brewed yourself. That should be enough."
After listening to Lian Yi's words, Gu Die'er counted on her fingers and felt that this should be enough, which showed her sincerity, so she smiled and said:
"Then do as you say."
Quarter of an hour later, the two teams had arrived at the peach blossom forest. After all, there were differences between men and women, so the two teams went to different places.
The place that Gu Die'er went to was naturally where young ladies and ladies gathered together. Such places were also divided into small groups. There was a group of people like Gu Die'er who were wealthy and had backers in the court, another group of people were young ladies from official families, and another group were young ladies from more noble families. Everyone had their own small circle, and they did not interfere with each other and just had fun on their own.
After the servants of the Gu family set up a small barbecue stove and prepared the wine, drinks and snacks, Lianyi waved her hand and went to where the young masters were gathered with gifts of thanks.
Since Xin Yuan was a stranger, he only stayed with his own people. However, because he had a good temperament, young men would come up to him from time to time to chat and want to get to know him, and Xin Yuan never refused anyone.
When Lianyi arrived at Xin Yuan's place with a thank-you gift, he was already surrounded by three or four young masters, who were shaking their heads and reciting sarcastic poems. She walked up to them and bowed, explaining her purpose. Then she waved her hand and asked the servants to pass the thank-you gift to the people around Xin Yuan.
"Master Xin Yuan, thank you for taming the frightened horse just now and saving my young lady from a disaster. This is the thank-you gift that my young lady asked me to prepare. I hope you won't despise it."
After that, he handed over another post and continued:
"This is a post from my family. If Young Master Xin Yuan needs any help, you can take this post to any of the Gu family's stores for help."
After saying this, he bowed again and left with his people.
Xin Yuan looked at the exquisite gold-embossed post in his hand, and a hint of joy flashed in his eyes. It seemed that things were going much more smoothly than he thought. Then, under the curious eyes of several young masters, he asked his personal eunuch to put the post away and never mentioned anything about helping the Gu family.
A young man in purple robe said sourly:
"Master Xin Yuan, you acted just in time today. Miss Gu is about to reach the age of marriage. I heard that she is delicate, beautiful, and intelligent. She is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. Most importantly, she can manage the household and earn money."
"Brother Fu, please be careful with your words! This concerns a woman's reputation. Today I just stopped the frightened horse. I didn't even see Miss Gu. I only saw the head maid just now."
After listening to Xin Yuan's explanation, another young man in green robe who knew the situation said calmly:
"Master Xin Yuan, that girl just now is not really a maid of the Gu family. She is Madam Gu's adopted daughter. She grew up in the Gu Mansion and is as close to Miss Gu as a sister.
Even though she is a woman, she is very skilled. Ordinary men cannot get close to her. She can even stop the frightened horse with just one hand."
Xin Yuan's eyes flickered after hearing what the young man in green robe said, and then he pretended to be surprised and said:
"Is this true? Xin Yuan really didn't see it. Youzhou is indeed a place where hidden dragons and crouching tigers are hidden. I am just ignorant."
"Master Xin Yuan has only been here for a few days, so it's normal that he doesn't know about these things."
Then, under Xin Yuan's deliberate guidance, the topic revolved around the Gu family.
Although Lianyi returned to Gu Dieer, she did not withdraw her spiritual consciousness. With her current cultivation level in the initial stage of foundation building, she could hear every word of the conversation between Xin Yuan and the young masters.
The more Lianyi listened, the more she frowned. She felt that there would be some twists and turns in the relationship between Xin Yuan and Gu Die'er this time. However, things had not happened yet, so it was not easy for her to interfere. She could only take it one step at a time.
Gu Die'er was carefree and had a lot of fun playing with her sisters. She drank some peach wine, which made her face look even more beautiful with its rosy and tender face. Then, when she was accompanied by her maid to go to the toilet, she met Xin Yuan again by chance.
This time, when Xin Yuan saw Gu Dieer's true face, he became even more determined to win her over. However, he still followed etiquette and stayed away from her after introducing himself.
Gu Die'er also politely returned the greeting, and told Lianyi after returning:
"There must be something wrong with this Xin Yuan. He is coming for me."
