C11

The inside of the carriage was extremely spacious, as a large portion of the things inside were given out by the Yang Family. However, it was more than enough for her, Yun Xiang and Biwan to sit inside. The servant in black drove while Gu Yiqing rode beside him.

Along with the crisp sound of the whip, the car slowly drove away. Biwan had never been far away, and her expression showed that she couldn't conceal her excitement. She leaned close to Jinzhu's ear and said, "Miss, our Third Master is so handsome. Didn't you see how the Eldest Miss stared at him …"

Gu Jinzhu leaned against the window and looked through the raised curtain. Gu Yiqing was still wearing the same green robe with a jade belt around his waist. His black hair was tied up with a jade ring, and his sword-like eyebrows were slanted down to his temples.

As the figures of the Yang Family people behind him grew smaller and smaller, she felt as if she was in a dream. This trip to the Shengjing had taken her thousands of miles away.

The sky was still gloomy. The carriage moved slowly, the sound of rolling wheels on the gray stone floor could be heard. Gu Jinzhu was looking at the familiar scenery of the houses outside, and her heart was filled with gloom.

Yunxiang saw that her face was still pale. She took out a smoky green soft incense cushion and leaned behind her. With a worried tone, she asked, "Miss, it's still early. Why don't you sleep a little longer?"

Gu Jinzhu shook her head and was about to leave this familiar place. She wanted to use her eyes to engrave everything here into her heart, but she couldn't sleep.

The shops on both sides of the street had long since opened, and the sounds of buying and shouting could be heard incessantly. The Lady Boss of the breakfast stall was enthusiastically calling out to customers. As the carriage passed by, she smelled the fragrance of scallion pancakes.

She sniffed a little and a faint smile appeared on her lips. It was her favorite restaurant.

Gu Yiqing, who was riding on the horse, turned his head and accidentally saw a flash of light pass by the girl's pretty face. Gu Yiqing, who was riding on the horse, turned his head and unintentionally saw a flash of light pass by the girl's pretty face.

She was just like an ordinary girl from the Bie family. Her expression naturally revealed an innocent look of anticipation, which was completely different from the calm and composed look she had at such an age in the Yang Family.

It was just a child, though. He sighed in his heart and deliberately slowed the pace of his horse, taking a few steps back.

A vast expanse of endless green stretched out as far as the eye could see. The green mountains in the distance looked like they were made out of jade as they twisted and turned into a dark green line. The tall and straight poplar tree was pointed straight into the sky like a sharp arrow, and the green forest slanted downwards.

In fact, she had never been out of the city before, except to go with her grandmother to the Shrine, so it was new now. Looking at the vast expanse of land, her eyes were filled with the green of life, which made her feel better, even the depression that had been there had vanished.

The two girls busily sorted out their things. Most of the bags given to them by the Yang Family were filled with clothes that were bright and beautiful, greatly different from Gu Jinzhu's usual clothes.

Yun Xiang looked at it and frowned. The material was of the best quality and the style was also quite new. At first glance, she didn't look up, but the color was too familiar. Wasn't this what Miss Chen usually wore?

She sighed and said, "Madam is too petty, even taking big miss's clothes to make up for the gift."

Biwan also came over to take a look, and immediately said angrily, "That's right, he's actually the richest in Linan. I've never seen such a petty person like him."

Gu Jinzhu only took a casual glance and understood in her heart. It was probably because they had left in a hurry and the Yang Family did not reveal any things that did not make them look good on their faces. They had also not made any preparations in advance, so she could only take Yang Qiyu's new clothes to make up the amount.

She didn't care in the slightest. After all, she was relying on someone else. How could she be qualified to be picky?

Hearing the two girls talking nonstop, she leaned against the soft cushion to rest.

She slightly closed her eyes and the wind blew through the curtain, bringing with it a moist air. She felt a few drops of cold water on her face, and when she opened her eyes, she saw that it was raining heavily.

Biwan and Yun Xiang fell asleep together. Gu Jinzhu suddenly thought of the person outside the carriage, so she lifted the curtain to call that person in to shelter from the rain.

However, when she looked over, she did not see the figure that had been protecting the carriage all this time.

Shocked, she unconsciously stuck her head out and looked. In the distance, there was a drizzle of fog and there was not even a shadow of that person.

The world seemed to be filled with fog, as if only their carriage could travel alone. As soon as she was scared to death, she immediately knocked on the window and shouted, "Stop, stop!"

Yun Xiang was roused from her stupor. She opened her eyes and asked, "What's wrong, Miss?"

The car slowly stopped. A cold voice came from outside and asked, "Miss, do you have any orders?"

Gu Jinzhu opened the curtain with a "whoosh" and saw the servant in black standing beside the carriage, standing straight as a sword. She then let out a sigh of relief. Where did San Ye go?

From the moment she had set foot on the road, her heart had been faintly uneasy. Now that she suddenly saw that person missing, she was naturally alarmed.

The servant in black hung his head, the lines on his face as cold as ice. He spoke with a cold expression, "This father has something to take care of. Let us go first!"

Gu Jinzhu was a little calmer in her heart, but she could not directly ask where he had gone. "How long will it be?" she asked again.

That person lifted his head and swept his gaze over her. His expression was extremely cold as he coldly spat out two words, "I don't know!"

Gu Jinzhu did not say anything else. It was not that she did not mind his ice-cold attitude. Even her master would find it difficult to get along with him, much less a servant!

On the other hand, Biwan puffed up her face in anger and said, "What are you tugging at? You're just a servant, aren't you? You put on so much airs!"

Hearing that, that person's gaze shot towards her as sharp as lightning. Biwan jumped in fright and quickly retreated.

Gu Jinzhu put down the curtain and the carriage started to move again. However, it was obvious that its speed was much slower than before. She knew that the attendant was waiting for Gu Yiqing, so she relaxed.

After walking for a while, she heard the clatter of horses' hooves behind her. She lifted the curtain and looked outside, only to see a tall figure riding through the rain. The rain had already wet his hair and clothes.

In the blink of an eye, the rider was right in front of him. It was Gu Yiqing.

Before Jinzhu could say anything, he bent his body slightly and passed an item through the window. "Here you go."

Surprised, Gu Jinzhu couldn't help but extend her hand to receive it. It was wrapped in kraft paper and warm to the touch. As soon as he got close, he could smell a very familiar and attractive fragrance. She was stunned. This was … Chen Li Food Shop... Sweet onion cake?

Chen Ji Food Shop's spicy onion cake was baked with cinnamon honey. It was as thin as paper, tender on the outside, and filled with an enticing fragrance. It was famous throughout Linan City and Gu Jinzhu had always loved to eat it.

When she passed by Chen Ji this morning, she was still thinking that she might not be able to eat anymore. She originally wanted to buy some food on the way, but there was already a long line of people waiting in front of Chen Ji's door. For fear of delaying her journey, she didn't call for the car to stop, she didn't expect that this person would actually buy food for her.

It was likely that he had noticed the longing on her face when she passed by Chen Ji that morning, so he had lined up in the rain for a long time to buy it for her.
