Chapter 369: Riding a Horse to the Capital
Chapter 369: Riding a Horse to the Capital
Is my wife back?
Gu Jingzhi simply put down what he was doing and headed out of the study!
Qu Feiyan was stunned when she saw this, then shook her head and smiled bitterly.
This young master of our family... when it comes to loving his wife, he is definitely unique. A dignified marquis actually ran out of the city to pick up his wife.
Qu Feiyan was right!
After Gu Jingzhi came out of the study, he took a fast horse and rode straight onto the street towards the west gate without even taking any followers.
His high-profile trip immediately shocked a lot of people.
In the important place of the capital, at the feet of the emperor, the marquis of the dynasty was riding a horse in the street. Those who didn't know would think that something big had happened. You should know that Gu Jingzhi always paid attention to his etiquette in the capital. He usually traveled either by walking or in a carriage. Riding a horse in the street... Including the previous parade of the top scholar, this was only the second time.
Gu Jingzhi and his horse quickly rushed out of the West City. After riding for several miles, they met a team of five or six hundred people.
From a distance, Lin Yong, riding a tall horse, saw Gu Jingzhi galloping towards him. He immediately exclaimed happily, "Dad, it's my cousin Jingzhi!"
"What?"
The second and third uncles of the Lin family, who were sitting in the carriage, were stunned when they heard this. The two brothers each leaned out of the left and right windows of the carriage and saw Gu Jingzhi riding a horse at full speed.
"This kid..."
Lin's second and third uncles retreated into the carriage, and the two brothers shook their heads and smiled bitterly.
The second uncle of the Lin family said, "Our nephew must be missing his wife. He even rode a fast horse to come here just a few miles away..."
"Haha! It's still good to be young!"
Uncle Lin sighed, then shouted out the window, "Old Hu, tell the brothers to stop where they are. Also, have someone tell Madam Biao that Master Biao is here!"
Just as the third uncle of the Lin family finished giving his instructions, Gu Jingzhi also rode up on horseback. Lin Yong happily called out, "Cousin!"
Gu Jingzhi punched him in the chest: "Good boy, I've been waiting for you day and night in the capital, and you're finally here!"
"Ha ha!"
"I'm afraid it's not us you're looking forward to, right?"
Before Lin Yong could say anything, he heard a loud laugh from the carriage and Gu Jingzhi's two uncles got out.
Gu Jingzhi quickly dismounted and said with a smile, "Second uncle, third uncle, you've been traveling so long, thank you for your hard work!"
The two uncles shook their heads.
"It's not that hard, but it's definitely been boring along the way!"
My second uncle teased me, "You're riding out of the city so fast, aren't you here to welcome me and your third uncle?"
As he spoke, he glanced at the back of the convoy. Gu Jingzhi's face turned red with embarrassment, and he said awkwardly, "Uncle, you..."
"Alright, alright! Brat..."
The second uncle looked at the figure behind him and said jokingly, "If you miss your wife, just tell me directly. How can your uncles laugh at you? Go quickly. Your wife is waiting for you in the back!"
"..."
But aren’t you smiling right now?
However, when he looked at the carriage behind him, he saw a figure standing quietly beside the carriage, looking at this side calmly.
Gu Jingzhi got on his horse and said, "Uncles, the mansion has prepared a dinner. I will come to welcome you later..."
As he said this, he spurred his horse straight towards the rear of the convoy.
The second uncle of the Lin family shook his head and teased: "This kid, he keeps saying he doesn't want to be with his wife, but he runs away as soon as he sees her. Alas, my uncle is the most important..."
"Second brother, come on! The young couple are like newlyweds after a long separation. Can your uncle have a little more judgment?"
"..."
Gu Jingzhi rode his horse quickly to the back and jumped off the horse. Chen Yu kept pursing her lips and smiling at her man.
"Husband!"
That unique voice as always.
Gu Jingzhi opened his arms and held his wife in his arms: "Along the way... are you and the children all right?"
"Ok!"
Chen Yu closed her eyes slightly, seeming to enjoy the moment, and whispered softly, "Everything is fine, I just miss my husband!"
As she spoke, she opened her eyes and looked at Gu Jingzhi: "It's been a long time since we last met. I hope everything is going well, my husband!"
"Ok!"
Gu Jingzhi nodded slightly, then looked towards the convoy: "This is not the place to talk. The two uncles are still waiting up ahead. Let's go back to the mansion first, shall we? I haven't seen the little ones for a while. I'll go see them first!"
As he said that, he didn't bother to care about the horse he brought with him and got into the car directly!
"Lord……"
The two people in the car looked at Gu Jingzhi coquettishly.
"Tao'er and Jian'er, thank you for your hard work!"
The long journey for three women with four children was indeed very inconvenient, but fortunately they finally arrived in the capital.
Gu Jingzhi looked at his children and immediately laughed out loud. There were four cradle-sized baby cribs in the car, one for each of the four little kids. Four pairs of big black and white eyes looked at Gu Jingzhi, and their little fists were grabbing the ground, showing no signs of unfamiliarity at all!
"hehe!"
Gu Jingzhi came over and said, "Little guys, Daddy is here to see you!"
That tone, that expression...it was almost melting.
Fortunately, Chen Yu is now a second-rank county lady. Her carriage is extremely spacious and has been modified. It is not only spacious but also very comfortable, so the little ones don't suffer.
The two older-looking babies were his eldest daughter Gu Chen and eldest son Gu Yan, and the other two younger ones were the third child Gu Feng and youngest daughter Gu Yu.
Chen Yu got in the car and saw her husband playing with the children, not acting like an adult at all...
I don’t know if it’s because she’s a mother, but the doting look she gives to Gu Jingzhi is no less than the doting she gives to her children!
The convoy started moving slowly, and Gu Jingzhi and his wife were talking in the car. Most of the time, it was the two concubines who did the talking, while Chen Yu sat quietly, occasionally interjecting a few words.
That kind of calm and composed temperament...Gu Jingzhi became more and more fascinated as he looked at her.
Since becoming a mother, this woman in my family has become even more charming and elegant. Although she is only in her early twenties now, her temperament is not inferior to that of the Crown Princess.
A convoy of five or six hundred people would be quite conspicuous even in the capital.
However, when they saw the Xiling Marquisate sign on the carriage, everyone was shocked. It turned out to be the Xiling Marquisate's motorcade...
Many people suddenly thought that Gu Jingzhi had been riding his horse at full speed a while ago, and it turned out that he had gone out of the city to pick someone up!
But, what kind of person could make that marquis lose his composure like this?
Also, those more than a hundred carriages...all covered with oilcloth, what are they carrying?
Everyone was speculating, and Chen Yu, in the car, could vaguely see people pointing and talking through the gauze curtains. She pursed her lips and smiled slightly, "Husband, returning to Beijing in such a high-profile manner, aren't you afraid of causing others to speculate?"
"He's just guessing. It'll only take a few days. Then I'll tell them the real thing. I don't know if they can handle it!"
Gu Jingzhi smiled slightly, not caring at all.
After hearing this, Chen Yu just nodded gently.
