Gu Jinzhu thought for a moment, then slowly shook her head. Although she also wanted to ride a horse and had secretly admired his free ride, she was raised by Old Mistress Yang according to the family's Ladyyi.

As a daughter of a noble family, how could she possibly ride a horse under the gaze of so many people?

Moreover, she didn't know how to ride a horse. If she went up, would she have to ride together with him? This thought flashed across her face, causing her to blush slightly.

Gu Yiqing didn't notice her, so he rode his horse slowly by the side of the car as if he was chatting casually with her.

At first, Gu Jinzhu was a little nervous, but after listening to his words, her voice gradually relaxed. She then realized that Third Uncle was extremely knowledgeable, with rich chest, interesting stories from all over the country, and a variety of human histories. Some interesting stories were easily told to her, and she gradually became entranced by them, as if she was listening to a story.

Gu Yiqing looked at her and smiled, then changed the topic, "In my Grand Xia toward the border, there are some small border countries that are different from my custom, has Zhu heard of them?"

"Barbarian?" Gu Jinzhu tilted her head. She loved to watch common wild history, so she had some understanding of the foreign races at the borders of Grand Xia.

Gu Yiqing nodded and said, "We boasted that we are from the Upper Sky Empire, looked down on those uncivilized foreign races, and called them Barbarian. Their living habits are very different from ours, but what do you know that makes the most difference?"

"What?" Gu Jinzhu was curious.

"It's a woman." "We, the women of the Han race, live in our rooms, never leaving our homes. The more you have status, the more you cannot show yourself in public, but the women of Barbarian are more at ease. They are like men who go out to hunt, ride their horses and gallop across the prairie, able to drink wine and dance and laugh without restraint, they have the same status as men."

"We, the ladies of the Han nationality, scorn their vulgarity, but I feel that it is very good, free and unrestrained, and much more comfortable than those who walk and sit and lie all the time with a bow, afraid of making mistakes.

The wind blew at the corners of his clothes. He curled his lips and turned his head to look.

His eyes were filled with encouragement. He stretched out his hand to pat the extremely grave and stern black horse. He looked at her and said, "Don't you want to try?"

Gu Jinzhu's eyes widened. Did he say so much just to tell her not to hold back and do whatever she wanted to do?

Her heart skipped a beat. After sitting in the car for so many days, her bones were all stiff and rusty, and God knows how much she wanted to go out and do some exercise. Like him, riding a horse and blowing the wind.

Gu Yiqing looked at her and smiled from the bottom of his heart. In the end, he was just a thirteen year old child, but he always looked cold and old. If it wasn't for the faint yearning in his eyes, he would have thought that she was like that.

Gu Jinzhu hesitated for a moment. The green mountains in the distance were beautiful, and the wind was gentle. It was as if there was a small voice bewitching her from the bottom of her heart. Just this once! She had never ridden a horse before.

Before she could react, she answered, "Okay."

Gu Jinzhu went back on her word as soon as she said that. She had never ridden a horse before. What if she made a fool of herself later? Or would she really ride with him? Although he was still a senior, he was still …

Before she could finish, Gu Yiqing had already stopped the car with the blood shirt. She had no choice but to get off the car and look at the extremely serious dark horse.

When the two girls saw that their young miss was about to ride a horse, they curiously surrounded her. Biwan was in high spirits, but there was a trace of worry in her eyes.

Gu Yiqing brought the horse over. The horse's black hair was like satin and its four limbs were slender. Gu Jinzhu couldn't help but reach out her hand to touch the horse. The horse snorted and turned its head to look at her with an arrogant expression.

Gu Yiqing handed the reins to her. Gu Jinzhu recalled how he got on the horse, so she put her foot on the pedal and climbed up.

However, this horse was too tall, and her arms were too weak, making her look as if she was hanging onto a horse. Laughter came from the side, and Gu Jinzhu's face turned red, thinking that she would be shamed to death. Just as she was about to jump off, a hand reached out and held her arm.

Gu Jinzhu climbed onto the horse and her cheeks were still burning. Out of the corner of her eyes, she saw Gu Yiqing holding the reins and her heart skipped a beat. Just when she was worried that he would come up, she saw Gu Yiqing leading the horse forward.

Her horse swayed under her, and she clung to the saddle, tense and excited.

The feeling of riding a horse and riding a carriage was completely different. The cool breeze blew, causing his eyes to be filled with green. As he breathed in the fragrant smell of the grass, he immediately became relaxed.

Gu Yiqing led the horse slowly just like that. Her nervous heart gradually calmed down. Looking at the tall and handsome figure in front of her, she felt relieved but also a little ashamed at the same time.

This Third Uncle was a rare upright gentleman, what was she thinking?

A cool breeze blew and the long grass swayed in the wind. From afar, it looked like a green wave. Under the warm sunlight, the sounds of Biwan and Yun Xiang's laughter came from behind them. Gu Jinzhu felt an unprecedented sense of relaxation.

Her toes moved. She really wanted to kick it and let the horse run. However, when she saw Ma Xiongjian's size, she gave up on that idea. It would be a disaster if it fell down.

Gu Jinzhu's eyes lit up as she walked past a hillside. She was so shocked that she almost held her breath.

It was too beautiful. In front of him was an endless field of oil cauliflower, golden waves rolling in all directions, waves surging in all directions, a sea of golden flowers filling his eyes with vibrant colors as butterflies fluttered in the wind.

Gu Jinzhu was shaken to the core. When had she ever seen such a beautiful scenery? For a moment, she felt as if she was in a dream.

Seeing her lost in thought, Gu Yiqing smiled and led the horse closer to the sea of flowers. A strong fragrance drifted over with the wind, causing Gu Jinzhu to jump off the horse and run towards the sea of flowers with the corner of her skirt raised.

Girls had always liked beautiful things, and Gu Jinzhu was no exception. With such a large sea of flowers and the blue sky above her, her breath was filled with a refreshing fragrance that made one's heart leap.

When she got closer and saw the tender yellow flower, she couldn't help but lean over and smell it.

Under the warm sunlight, the girl's slender body was plated with a layer of golden light. She was wearing a cyan light dress, and there was not a single strand of hair on her head.

Gu Yiqing was slightly lost in thought. Even though he had seen countless exquisite beauties, he felt that none of them could be more captivating than this scene. With the girl's beautiful face and gorgeous flowers, he couldn't tell whether it was a person's beauty or a delicate flower.

Biwan and Yun Xiang's surprised exclamations came from behind. The two of them were a step too slow to follow. When they turned the hill and saw the sea of flowers, they couldn't help but cry out.
