A Thousand Gold Order: Inheritance

Chapter 219 Doubt, do you want to die forever?
In this era, a woman is considered an adult after reaching Jiji, and after the Jiji ceremony, it is time to comb her hair in a bun.

It is true that the hairstyles of unmarried women and married women are still different. Although there is no law specifying how they should comb their hair, there is an unwritten rule, that is, unmarried girls usually leave a loose strand of hair behind their heads. , to show her unmarried body.

But the ones who pay attention to these things are usually in important public occasions, and in private, no one has time to care about what clothes other girls wear or what hair they comb.

Qi Huan doesn't want to be restrained at home, and has always been casual.

She didn't do it on purpose today, it's just that the weather has been getting hotter recently, and she doesn't want to wear a layer of hair on her body. When she went out today, she combed a Chaoyunjinxiang bun, combed all the hair at the back of her head, and tied it up .

This doesn't mean she is a maverick, Gao Yunmiao also combed a neat flying bun today, pulling all her hair back.

Apparently—

The stall owner was overjoyed and misunderstood.

The stall owner took the money and walked away happily to greet other customers.

The next two tables were full of servants from the Qi family and the Gao family, everyone was watching helplessly, Qi Huan was a little ashamed.

Gao Yunmiao held her chopsticks for a long while, and suddenly lost her appetite. She maintained the best upbringing of everyone, but didn't drop her chopsticks.

But it was obvious that she was not in the right mood, and she still put the chopsticks on the table with a heavy sound, and said in a negative tone, "I won't eat."

Of course, it's not because she has any thoughts about Gu Zhan...

Qi Huan can actually understand how she feels right now——

Although it has nothing to do with me, who can bear this?I am a single dog, and I am happy to have a meal, but suddenly I am forced to choke by a mouthful of dog food?

"Ahem..." As soon as Gao Yunmiao threw the chopsticks, Gao Yunze came back to his senses.

He coughed twice, stretched out his hand to grab the money bag in Gu Zhan's hand with a somewhat indescribable expression: "I didn't mean you, cousin... Your skills are so poor? This is too shabby."

Naturally, Gu Zhan would not let him touch his things. When his paws were stretched out, he had already dodged and stuffed the money bag back into his arms.

Qi Huan was very embarrassed.

In fact, Gao Yunze is not to blame for laughing at her, because the two things she did——

Strictly speaking, it is not a purse at all.

I randomly found two pieces of cloth, cut out a similar shape, and then sewed it around randomly.

It's just for my own convenience, holding small things to play with, without even a little embroidery.

Although she is a person with no sense of ceremony, if she really wants to give it as a gift, she knows that such a thing is not handy.

obviously--

Everyone here regarded this junk as a token of love between her and Gu Zhan.

This matter cannot be explained clearly, she can't tell the truth, explaining that the money bag is just a prop, the fact is that she once threw a bag of change, and then recklessly ruined Gu Shizi's reputation and innocence, right?

So, in order to shift the focus, she immediately gave Gao Yunze a nonchalant glance, and slowly put away her small purse: "Yeah, I'm poor at workmanship, and I didn't give you a gift, cousin, are you being too lenient? Just wait for your future cousin to give you a big purse full of embroidery."

She is a girl after all, even if it is her own cousin, Gao Yunze will not insist on making fun of this matter.

He touched his nose and laughed dryly again.

Apparently—

Very disapproving.

Because General Gao thought, no matter how poor my future wife's skills are, even if she embroiders a dog's tail grass for me, right?It will never be as shabby as you!

When I turned my gaze to look at Gu Zhan...

Apart from sympathy, I really think that this guy must be blind.

This cousin of my family has a big temper, is not gentle, and is inexperienced, so she can still bluff people with just one face!
What a crime!

But on second thought-

It's also fortunate that Gu Zhan was blind, and acted preemptively, otherwise, according to his mother's wishes, this rare cousin would have almost fallen into his hands.

That is the real crime!

Gao Yunmiao looked swollen and angry, and then his face was black all the time.

Gao Yunze's thoughts went through countless thoughts in an instant.

Qi Huan never forcibly explained the origin of the money bag, while Gu Zhan pretended to be calm, he actually breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Qi Huan threw it to him with his own hands, he knew very well that she just did it unintentionally.

only--

He himself had ulterior motives from the very beginning!

After the group of them finished eating, it was not easy to continue to occupy the place of other people's wonton stalls.

Just at this moment, the density of people coming in and out of the city gate also dropped sharply, and a group of people drove out of the city gate for the time being, and waited on the open official road outside.

Qi Changge and his wife wanted to hurry, so they got up early and went out.

After waiting for a while, everyone saw the Yu family escorting their convoy out of the city.

Yu Huaijin's visit was for a three-year term, so he brought a lot of things, besides the carriage the couple took, there were seven or eight carriages of luggage behind them.

Yang's carriage was very eye-catching, and Yu Huaijin's servant immediately recognized it as soon as he left the city gate, and quickly reported to the master in the carriage.

Yu Huaijin poked his head out of the car window to confirm, and ordered the car to be parked by the side of the road, and he personally helped Qi Changge out of the car.

Qi Changge was originally not in high spirits. When he first saw Qi Huan waiting here, he couldn't hold back on the spot, his nose soured, and he shed two tears: "Big sister, why are you here?"

Qi Huan took out the handkerchief and handed it to her, and said with a smile: "I was going out of the city to play, but I thought you were on a trip today, so I waited here by the side of the road and told you to take care."

The relationship between their sisters is indeed not so close, let alone coquettish and whispering to each other.

Therefore, at this point, Qi Changge was choked up.

Qi Huan also told her a few more symbolic words, be careful on the road, pay attention to your body, and send a message home if you have something to do.

Beside Yu Huaijin, Gu Zhan and Gao Yunze also finished their greetings.

They had to hurry, otherwise they would not be able to go to the planned inn in time for the night, and they would not stay for too long, so they boarded the car again and left.

The expression on Qi Huan's face was actually indifferent all along.

Gao Yunmiao looked at her from the sidelines for a long time, and after hesitant to speak several times, she couldn't help but finally said: "I didn't think the relationship between you two was so good before, why are you..."

As she was speaking, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in her mind, and she glanced at Gu Zhan who was not far away, and the corner of her mouth twitched: "Isn't it just to show him a show? It's creepy to pretend that sisters are affectionate. "

Gao Yunmiao doesn't like herself, Qi Huan has always known it, because this girl has made it very clear that she doesn't like her, and never even bothered to cover it up.

But if she doesn't like it, it's just that she doesn't like it and isn't close.

After all, the two families are related by marriage, but Gao Yunmiao would not cooperate with outsiders to plot against the little girl just because of the subtle emotions between them.

In any relationship, Qi Huan is the kind of person who passively reciprocates, so the relationship between her and Gao Yunmiao has remained like this from the beginning to the end, and she doesn't think there is any problem.

"I don't need to be affectionate, I just think it's not easy for a little girl to leave home with a newly married man." Qi Huan said.

In view of Gao Yunmiao's snarky words, she also had a bad thought, followed by blinking, and looked at Gu Zhan with her lips curled up in a particularly showy manner: "As for him...he is not a theater owner, what am I doing? It's a play, it's so hypocritical."

While speaking, she strode forward and stood in front of Gu Zhan in a graceful manner: "The flower wine and fruit wine you made last time are almost exhausted, and you can find a way to make them for us later. order?"

Gu Zhan didn't expect her to mention this suddenly.

Hearing this, he was stunned.

But then he nodded very naturally: "Okay."

"Don't go to the empress to cheat and cheat, and make others think we are bad drunkards." Qi Huan said, and deliberately winked at Gao Yunmiao, "I don't have to drink fruit wine, but my cousin can't drink. Qian, pay attention to what you gave her as a piggyback."

In retrospect, Zhan sent wine to Qi Huan, but he didn't dare to go directly to give it to Qi Huan in order to meet his preferences. It was the Gao brothers and sisters who beat around the bush to provide convenience.

Inheriting the family's favor, now Qi Huan asked him to bring Gao Yunmiao a share of the wine for her, Gu Zhan thought it was reasonable, so naturally he agreed without thinking too much.

Gao Yunmiao had just digested the mouthful of dog food that Gao Yunmiao was choking on, but he was caught off guard and stuffed it again, and immediately he felt ill again.

Watching Gu Zhan personally help Qi Huan into the carriage with a careful expression, Gao Yunmiao didn't believe this evil, and actually ignored the "estimation" between him and Qi Huan, and followed her into Qi Huan's carriage .

Qi Xin couldn't act like he was out of the group, so he could only follow along.

Because waiting here for Qi Changge wasted time, he had to catch up on the road ahead.

Gu Zhan and Gao Yunze rode horses and walked in front side by side.

Gao Yunmiao sat on the carriage, and this time she spoke more directly, with an obvious depressed expression: "I really saw a ghost, how did Gu Zhan fall in love with you?"

In the past, when Qi Huan had nothing to do, Gu and Gao had a friendship, but because of the age difference between Gao Yunmiao and Gu Zhan, no matter in public or in private, she strictly abides by etiquette and calls Gu Zhan in a proper manner. of the world.

At that time, Gu Zhan was radiant.

Although Gao Yunmiao has been instructed by her family since she was a child, she knew from the beginning that there was no possibility of the two of them getting married, so naturally she put an end to this kind of thought since she was a child, but the young girl who was just in her youth had a good relationship with her. A gentle young man, always shy and timid, subconsciously trying to make a good impression.

And now-

Ever since Gu Zhan and Qi Huan "mixed" together, to Gao Yunmiao, Gu Zhan seemed to have been pulled off the altar. The idol filter was completely broken, and she began to call him casually in private. named.

Qi Huan can also understand this mentality.

It's probably the state where you have a friend who has a good relationship, and suddenly one day she and your deadly enemy become good best friends.

With a nonchalant expression on Qi Huan's face, he even laughed and teased: "Don't you all secretly think that he is blind? Then he might be really blind."

Gao Yunmiao was really angry with her.

It's not because of Gu Zhan, but because of Qi Huan's flamboyant performance after he got Gu Zhan.

She snorted furiously: "You can't be so blind even if you are blind. I think he was lowered by you."

The relationship between their cousins ​​is not close, but there is absolutely no conflict that is too real.

Gao Yun seemed to have a choke in his throat and was choked all the way. It was visible to the naked eye that he was in a bad mood.

Qi Xin used to hold her head in front of Qi Huan, but now she is afraid and defensive.

and so--

On such occasions, she just stopped talking.

Everyone is silent, which is another kind of harmony.

He successfully arrived at the horse farm of the British government in the suburbs of Beijing. This horse farm is very large, and even the two nearby hills are the private territory of the British government.

At the same time, his family also has a big Zhuangzi here.

Knowing that they were coming today, Fang Ziyue brought people over yesterday afternoon to make preparations.

A racetrack was specially sorted out, and targets were erected, and a shooting range was widened inside.

In addition, because he knew that there were also female relatives coming, he also specially ordered people to build a few sheds around the periphery.

When Gu Zhan's party arrived, some of the group of people who met had already arrived, and some had not yet arrived. Apart from this group of sons and daughters, the other three families also brought their female relatives, all of whom were unmarried teenage girls.

Qi Huan was brought by him in the name of Gao Yunze's cousin, so he naturally followed behind him and was recommended by him to greet everyone.

But everyone knows that...

Ambiguous eyes naturally wandered between her and Gu Zhan.

Gao Yunmiao was angry, and pushed Gao Yunze to urge: "Brother, you said you brought me to ride a horse, what are you doing here?"

Gao Yunze smiled and said, "Then you go, it's not like you can't ride."

He raised his eyebrows and looked at Fang Ziyue.

Fang Ziyue pointed to the stables in the distance: "The horses prepared for you are over there, go and pick them yourself."

Then, he carefully reminded: "The ones with smaller physique and relatively sparse hair are mares. You girls try to choose mares to ride. They are relatively docile. There are grooms to serve them. If you don't understand, just ask them. Go there on your own."

The few girls who came with me today are mostly lively and active, so I took the opportunity to play with them.

certainly--

There should be a few of them who are interested in some of the young masters present and come here to gain familiarity.

Qi Huan didn't pay attention to other people's private affairs, but when she saw Gao Yunmiao and the others cheered, thanked Fang Ziyue and then ran towards the tent standing outside, she became a little suspicious.

Gu Zhan had just been walking behind her in silence, and upon seeing this, he asked, "Didn't you bring the right clothes?"

Qi Huan: ...

It was the first time for the community animal to participate in an aristocratic event, and she had completely forgotten that she had to prepare a lighter outfit when she came out to ride a horse.

No wonder Gao Yunmiao tied up her hair in advance.

However, she is always easygoing, she lowered her head and pulled the hem of her skirt: "Just let it go, anyway, I'm not very good at riding."

Gu Zhan didn't say much, and led her in the direction of the stables.

Those young masters who came early were more or less obsessed with horses, and they had already snatched the best mounts for a test ride in the racecourse.

Because Qi Huan omitted the step of changing clothes, when Gu Zhan brought her over, there was no one else around.

It was also the first time for Xing Luo and Yun Xi to come to such a place, and they were particularly excited when they saw the herds of horses in the stables.

Gu Zhan knew that Qi Huan didn't understand this, so he chose a horse for her without asking her opinion.

The groom who was serving in the stable brought over a mare he had chosen, and Gu Zhan inspected it carefully before he gave her a questioning look: "Just this one?"

Qi Huan had no objection.

The groom opened the gate, led the horse out, and waited.

Qi Huan discussed with Gu Zhan again: "The people who came here today should all have a good relationship with you, right? Xing Luo and the others rarely come out, so let's ask them to have fun."

It's not mainly for fun, but because she thinks it's useful to master one more skill.

The two little girls held each other's hands, their eyes sparkling, eager to try.

Gu Zhan smiled, and motioned to Wei Feng and Jiang Xuan who followed: "Help pick two horses, and be careful."

Then, he casually ordered a horse for himself, and led Qi Huan away alone.

Didn't get on a horse, just led the horse on foot.

Then Qi Huan knew——

He didn't just find an excuse to pick himself up to play.

She followed him and walked to the periphery of the racecourse. Gu Zhan stopped, leaning on the railing and said lightly: "The thing you asked me to investigate a few days ago has some clues. I rubbed that shoe print and asked someone to go there." After comparison, it is indeed the pair of shoes that Yang Paner wore at the banquet that day, and the pattern and size of the sole match."

Since Qi Huan had doubts, he was prepared.

Now, it is just further confirmation.

She hooked her lips and smiled playfully: "The first time I was only provoking, trying to make me look ugly or even lose my manners in front of the empress, this second time... is she trying to kill me directly?"

It's just a little girl, what is the hatred between the two families?Would it be worth it for a girl who was only in her teens to take such a vicious opportunity to kill her repeatedly?
Qi Huan had never dug someone's ancestral grave, so he felt that this "blood feud" came very strangely.

Gu Zhan looked at her bright side face.

In fact, he has been hesitating for the past two days, and then he took a deep breath and made up his mind: "There is one more thing I have to remind you, the cause of your uncle's death may be something else, it is very likely... It was murdered by someone."

Her uncle?

Yang Qingyun's father?

Although Qi Huan is very familiar with Yang Qingyun, but——

Her so-called uncle was too unfamiliar to her. Not only had she never delved too much into any past about this person, she hardly even mentioned it in normal chats.

Unprepared, Qi Huan was totally unable to catch up, and was stunned for a while.

Then, her thoughts gradually returned, and she resumed her thoughts: "Is...that Yang family of theirs did it?"

Gu Zhan's expression was very serious: "At present, I don't have any evidence, so I can't give you a conclusion with certainty, but if you want to doubt the right people...you have to doubt them, but it is justified."

He took out the two resume files from his sleeve.

While Qi Huan unfolded it to look at it, he continued to explain: "The people I sent out have already gone south to verify these, and this is copied from the Ministry of Officials. Mrs. Shizi must have indeed not told you the truth. She said that you and Yang Chenglian are not the same. It is a bit far-fetched to say that you are from the same hometown. Your maternal ancestor's family is in Tianshui County, Yunzhou, but Yang Chenglian's ancestral home is Ancheng County on the household registration file. Although it is also under the jurisdiction of Yunzhou, the two places are also separated. Fifty or sixty miles away. At least judging from these archived files, apart from the same surname, it seems unlikely that the two of you have any connection or intersection in your ancestors."

Qi Huan understood what he meant.

This was in ancient times when transportation was extremely inconvenient. The two places were separated by fifty or sixty miles and lived in two different cities. Enmity and even enmity.

If there is already a human life involved, then this matter is far more serious than she expected.

Qi Huan didn't dare to take it lightly.

She frowned, and looked at the two resume files in her hand word by word.

In the end, indeed, as Gu Zhan said, from these words, there is no intersection between the two families.

She pointed to a line of small characters on Yang Chenglian's file and pondered: "It is recorded here that Yang Chenglian's ancestors were also merchants, could it be because of conflicts such as business matters and occupation of business channels, which led to the enmity between the two families? "

However, there is a huge age difference between Yang Chenglian, Yang Yuting, and the Yang family. If they want to make enemies, it is also he and the generation of Yang's parents...

If Yang Yuting was really killed by him, then it was due to the grievances of his parents?

What kind of hidden secrets are there in the middle, which will make them implicate two generations, from Yunzhou to the capital, and from the common people to the officialdom, and even so far they have not died endlessly?

With no clues or tangible evidence, Qi Huan was helpless.
