A Thousand Gold Order: Inheritance

Chapter 220 Gift (Part [-])
"Not all the files kept by the official department are true." Gu Zhan said, "It will take some time for the news from the south to come up. Let me tell you in advance, although it is a bit arbitrary, but in this case, I would rather believe it. , take care of that family first."

Qi Huan thought about it seriously, but instead of being trapped by this matter, he chuckled lightly: "I suddenly feel that I am lucky."

Gu Zhan was puzzled, and gave him a questioning look.

Qi Huan teased: "Thanks to that Yang Pan'er, Ms. Yang, who repeatedly provoked me. If she hadn't repeatedly exposed herself, it would have been a downright dangerous situation."

Standing in the open and aiming at your enemies is not the most terrifying thing, what is even more terrifying are those dangers that are hiding in the dark and you don't even know about them!

Although Qi Huan has not dealt with that family directly, but she can also be sure——

The two times Yang Pan'er targeted her were definitely not deliberately planned and instigated by her family members, it should just be her own impulsive actions.

It was the first time in the Queen's Palace, and she made the first move, which contained a lot of probing meanings.

In fact, even if Qi Huan didn't catch her move at that time, it wouldn't cause any substantial damage.

What was more vicious and vicious was that night at Prince Ning's Mansion!

But the assassin that night was definitely a sudden incident, unless the Yang family was the mastermind who planned to assassinate the emperor and the prince...

Otherwise, it would be impossible for them to predict the risks and instruct Yang Pan'er to attack her.

Qi Huan even felt that after that night, after Yang Pan'er missed again, she probably wouldn't tell her family about her attack on him again.

This kind of stupid act that was very dark and revealed more than enough, when she felt that Qi Huan hadn't noticed it, she probably didn't dare to tell her family members as a meritorious service.

If this is the case, then for Qi Huan, it is indeed something to be thankful for.

The so-called real bosses behind the scenes of "that Yang family" are still complacent, thinking that they are hiding well, but in fact, she can already set up defenses quietly.

The smile in Qi Huan's eyes was real.

Gu Zhan looked at it, but he didn't like it at all.

He raised his hand and stretched out his fingertips, wanting to touch her eyebrows.

Qi Huan was unsuspecting of him, and originally did not reject his touch.

But then, she wrinkled her nose and snapped his hand open: "You touched the horse just now, don't touch my face."

Gu Zhan: ...

In an instant, all the emotions such as pity and pain that were just brewing in his heart were scattered by her.

Gu Zhan withdrew his hand embarrassingly.

Qi Huan had a sudden idea.

Seeing a cunning flash in her eyes, she immediately reached out to touch Gu Zhan's arms.

Gu Zhan was obviously frightened.

But he has the instinctive sensitivity of a martial artist, and he grabbed her wrist immediately, blushing and said in a deep voice, "What are you doing?"

Qi Huan raised his eyes to meet his flustered gaze, only to realize later...

He seems to be wrong.

Suddenly, she couldn't laugh or cry.

Although the two of them avoided the crowd and stood here talking alone, but the entire horse farm was covered with flat grass, and the field of vision was extremely wide, but anyone else would have a panoramic view of any of the two of them's excessive movements.

Unless she is crazy, she will flirt with him in such an environment!

On Gu Zhan's face, there was an expression as if he was facing an enemy, and he tightly clutched her wrist.

Qi Huan glared at him angrily: "The one in your arms...give me back my purse!"

Gu Zhan was taken aback.

Realizing his villainous heart, not only did the heat on his cheeks not dissipate, but his face turned even redder.

But the next moment, he pretended to be calm and let go of Qi Huan's wrist.

He turned around and leaned on the railing behind him.

Qi Huan saw the corner of his lips curl up.

He said: "There is no reason to return something after giving it away."

Qi Huan didn't want to argue with him.

Although what she really wanted to give him at that time was money, but it was true——

The money bag was also handed over by herself, and forced into others.

She followed and took two steps forward: "That one was sewn casually, it's too rough and ugly, you don't think it's embarrassing, but I still feel ashamed."

Gu Zhan was unmoved.

Qi Huan could only correct his attitude as much as possible, and discussed in a friendly voice: "You pay me back first, and later... I will give you something else later."

Gu Zhan's attitude finally loosened.

He turned to look at her.

Qi Huan quickly stretched out his hand.

If you want to return the things to her...it is impossible to return them.

But Gu Zhan was in a good mood.

He originally wanted to take advantage of the situation to hold her hand, but he suddenly realized that she thought he had just touched the horse.

then--

With lightning speed, he quickly pecked her open palm.

The touch was soft and slightly itchy.

Qi Huan was stunned for a moment.

It couldn't be ignored, and there was a hint of softness and joy in my heart.

She tightened her palms and quickly retracted her hand.

Gu Zhan took the initiative to tease someone for the first time, but she was not used to it, so she used a tough attitude to cover up her emotions, and asked him: "Give me back!"

Gu Zhan felt that she was so shy and even at a loss...

So cute!

"You're a rascal, I can't trust you." He said, "When you have prepared a new gift, bring it over and exchange it in person."

In private, Qi Huan is not a person with much integrity, and the risk of a meat bun beating a dog definitely exists.

Gu Zhan refused to be fooled by her!
And Qi Huan could see it, he just made it clear that he refused to give it!

In the future, even if she prepares other gifts to exchange with him, he will definitely be able to take all the big and small things and keep his word.

If the negotiations are fruitless, they can only give up.

The two stared at each other for a while, but Gu Zhan stood up straight first, raised his hand and patted the top of her hair: "Okay, we've finished our business, let's go, I'll take you to ride a horse!"

When he came to hold her hand again, Qi Huan didn't get angry with him anymore.

Gu Zhan personally helped her get on the horse again.

Qi Huan still remembered some of the essentials he taught her two days ago, so he quickly reviewed them in his mind.

Gu Zhan corrected her substandard posture again, and taught her some more detailed horse riding skills.

The size of the mare is smaller than Gu Zhan's previous mount, and it will be easier for Qi Huan to handle it.

The two of them got bored alone here, and the others were very sensible, and they didn't take the initiative to join in to disrupt the situation.

After Gu Zhan taught her the essentials, he got on his horse and led her to start a trial run from the periphery.

The weather was fine, and it was actually quite hot under the big sun.

But in the suburbs, there is a cool breeze passing through the mountains, and it can properly blow away some dryness.

The main reason is that the people who came here today, regardless of gender, are here for the purpose of riding and buying horses. What are you afraid of in the sun?Everyone is having a good time.

Gu Zhan took Qi Huan to practice horseback riding alone for more than an hour, knowing that she was a beginner and couldn't ride on horseback for a long time, so the two went back to the arbor.

Under the arbor, there is a special maid waiting, who has prepared tea, snacks and several kinds of iced fresh fruits.

The two of them each scrubbed the dust off their faces and hands, washed their hands again, and then sat down.

Qi Huan casually pulled a grape and threw it into his mouth.

Gu Zhan immediately reached out to grab the fruit plate of grapes in front of her.

Qi Huan suddenly remembered the incident of feeding honeydew melons a while ago, his old face blushed and he was even more frightened, he rushed to take the plate of grapes away, and handed it to the maid beside him, "Put this on the next table first."

She is really not the kind of person who likes to show off her affection unscrupulously. If Gu Zhan peeled the grape skins for her in full view...

Just thinking about it gives me goose bumps all over my body.

When Gu Zhan saw her eating grapes, he really wanted to peel the grapes for her, but unexpectedly his subordinates were empty...

Looking at Qi Huan's face as if facing a formidable enemy, he couldn't laugh or cry.

He didn't have any concept of showing affection, but when she was by his side, she subconsciously wanted to take care of everything.

Now that I think about it again, I'm afraid, I don't want to be teased by Gao Yunze and others.

Qi Huan handed him a piece of watermelon to cover up his previous intentions.

Gu Zhan used her hand to bite off the sweet-smelling melon flesh on the tip, and then took it to eat by himself.

In fact, his expression was extremely gentle and magnanimous, but the two maidservants serving beside him still pursed their lips and snickered.

Qi Huan pretended to be nonchalant and also took a piece of watermelon, bowed his head like a lady and gnawed it slowly.

But I was afraid of something. A group of men and women who were competing on the field before found that they both got off the field when they came back. They rode over to greet them: "Gu Zhan, why don't you go to the mountain? Fang Ziyue said that today's lunch The time has moved a little later, let's go get some wild game and come back and roast it."

Gu Zhan is not often in the capital, Gao Yunze and the others often go out of the city to hunt together, and cooking the prey they have hunted with their own hands is almost a fixed habit of them.

The two hills connected to this horse farm in the British government are natural hunting grounds.

Gu Zhan looked at Qi Huan first and asked, "Go into the mountains?"

"You go with them." Qi Huan shook his head resolutely, "My riding skills are just learned today, and I am limited to riding. There are many trees in the mountains and dense forests, and there are various fork roads, so I won't hold back. "

Gu Zhan then waved his hands at those people: "I won't go, you go."

Then there was a very lively kid who started to tease cheaply: "If you don't go, Gao Yunze won't go either. What will the girls from the Gao family and the Qi family eat?"

At any rate, he still paid attention to his proportions, and didn't mention Qi Huan alone.

After being mentioned by him, Qi Huan remembered and searched around the field.

Xing Luo and the others were led by Wei Feng and practiced riding horses outside the racecourse, while Gao Yunze was with Gao Yunmiao and Qi Xin, and seemed to be teaching the two girls to ride and shoot horses.

Although Gu Zhan looked calm, but his age was there, and occasionally he was more or less a teenager.

Agitated by the other party's words, he changed his mind, patted his robe to stand up, and told Qi Huan: "The sun will only get bigger in a while, you just sit here, don't run around, I'll be back in about half an hour. "

In front of everyone, Qi Huan only nodded subtly and didn't speak.

Gu Zhan raised his bow and arrow, got back on his horse, chatted and laughed with the group of men and women, and walked towards the entrance of the mountain forest.

Qi Huan watched him go away, the watermelon was too juicy, she didn't dare to eat more when she was out, so she took the plate of grapes from the maid and came back, sat down and ate slowly.

I was concentrating on peeling the grape skins when I heard the sound of horseshoes from far and near.

Following the sound, Gao Yunmiao, who was wearing a red riding suit, had already approached.

Her stature is considered tall among all the girls. This dress is tailored well, the girdle outlines a slender waist, and a pair of short boots are on her feet. She looks tall and dashing. Meaning.

She came back alone.

Qi Huan looked into the distance again, Gao Yunze and Qi Xin were still at the shooting range.

Gao Yunmiao also sweated a little. After riding for too long, his face was covered with dirt and dust, and when the sweat stains washed over his face, his face looked like a cat. Qi Huan immediately lost his appreciation for it.

She was also very tired, so she sat down on the cushion when she came here, and reached for the watermelon from the fruit plate on the table.

"Wash your hands!" Qi Huan yelled a reminder.

The maidservant next to her had already got up to fetch water.

Gao Yunmiao must have been extremely thirsty, but he was staring at the fruit on the table, and he did not take back his hand that was clasped for a while.

Qi Huan thought it was funny, and reluctantly handed a freshly peeled grape to her lips.

Gao Yunmiao subconsciously opened her mouth to take it, and then realized that it was given to her by Qi Huan, her face froze immediately, looking extremely uncomfortable.

Qi Huan pretended not to notice, just looked at the shooting range and asked her: "Why did you come back alone?"

Only then did Gao Yunmiao hastily hide her embarrassment, with a clear look of pride on her face: "I've been able to practice horseback riding and shooting for a long time, and it's Qi Xin who wants to learn."

But archery is different from horseback riding. As long as you master the skills of horseback riding, even beginners can get started quickly and control it well, but archery requires arm strength.

She was able to practice well because she was interested in it since she was a child, and she often practiced with Gao Yunze.

Now Qi Xin wants to learn, with her strength, even if she pulls her special bow, her arms will tremble.

Happily——

Her cousin is even stronger, but she has to learn everything very hard whenever she starts.

In the beginning, she was the one who taught Qi Xin, but Gao Yunmiao herself is arrogant, so how can she have that patience?After a while, he got bored and called Gao Yunze to do the drudgery.

At this moment, Gao Yunmiao has some complaints about Qi Xin in her heart, but she is a principled person——

She has a better relationship with Qi Xin than Qi Huan, and her position cannot be changed!
Therefore, he was very reserved and didn't say much, he hid his clumsiness for Qi Xin, and didn't reveal his faults in front of Qi Huan.

Qi Huan, however, never paid attention to the twists and turns in Gao Yunmiao's heart. He saw her anxiously waiting for the maid to fetch water for her, so he decided to do it to the end and peeled two grapes for her.

Gao Yunmiao was so thirsty that she couldn't care less about being reserved. Thinking about it, she had already eaten her before, so her heart broke, and she calmly opened her mouth and continued to eat.

Gu Zhan said they would return in half an hour, but they lost count as soon as they entered the mountain, and finally returned after an hour.

The harvest was quite rich. Several people hunted a few pheasants and a few hares, and another person used a straw rope to string a large string of more than a dozen plump river fish.

At that time, it was past noon.

Seeing this, the people scattered all over the racecourse also consciously gathered together towards the arbor.

After Gao Yunmiao ate the grapes peeled by Qi Huan, he probably felt that the mouth of eating people was soft, and his attitude improved a lot. He turned to Gu Zhan who came over from a distance: "What the hell is going on with you two? You are always beating around the bush. Tired and crooked, interesting? Just keep fooling around like this?"

Qi Huan smiled and didn't answer.

The current state of her and Gu Zhan, in the eyes of these princes and ladies who only listen to their parents' orders and matchmakers' words in marriage, is really hard to understand.

especially--

If it was Gu Zhan who was hesitant and indecisive, it's okay, but now Gu Zhan is full of sincerity, but it seems that Qi Huan is not too happy, this is... very strange!

Fang Ziyue was well prepared and brought two cooks from the Duke's mansion.

After that, everyone sat in the pergola to enjoy the cold, drink tea and eat fruits, and waited for the servants to prepare the table.

Soon, the bonfire was set up, and the aroma of grilled fish and meat filled the air.

It was already past meal time, and everyone was hungry, even Qi Huan, who didn't care about his appetite, salivated a little when he smelled the smell.

After another half an hour, the banquet was finally served.

A group of boys and girls of the same age were together, there were no elders to restrain them, the atmosphere was very relaxed and harmonious, and some people directly ordered drinking and punched.

These two are exactly Qi Huan's blind spots in knowledge, but no one would think of asking her to be a lady from a great family to punch, so she just focused on eating in a muffled voice.

On the contrary, Gu Zhan——

As expected of him, he had fought in the barracks, whether it was the elegant drinking order or the simple and rough punching, he was very cunning, and halfway through the banquet, he drank the two most escaped boys.

After eating, it's almost time to pack up and go back.

A group of people gathered around Fang Ziyue to discuss buying horses.

Qi Huan went to the toilet and came back, but he didn't see Gu Zhan in the original arbor, looked for him suspiciously, but saw him coming from not far away, leading the little mare she had ridden before.

Qi Huan hurried up a few steps to greet her.

Gu Zhan stroked the horse's mane and smiled at her, "Take it back."

Qi Huan couldn't help but ask knowingly, "You gave it to me?"

"Yeah." Gu Zhan nodded.

Reflecting the golden but no longer blazing sun in the afternoon, the brilliance between his eyebrows was also extremely bright.

He said: "Reciprocity is a gift, I suddenly remembered that I haven't given you anything yet."

"It's not a gift." Qi Huan generously took the rein in his hand, "You should have fed me a little fat."

This time it was Gu Zhan who couldn't help laughing and was amused by her.

The two of them stood together, and their concubine-like whispers really caught people's attention.

Then someone shouted at Gu Zhan, "Gu Zhan, you've been back to Beijing for a while, when can I have your wedding wine? Can you give me a letter?"

If it weren't for the strength of alcohol, they wouldn't have played this joke with Gu Zhan in front of Qi Huan.

After all, saying it in front of other girls is a bit of a coercion.

Gu Zhan might also be disturbed by the alcohol, so he just smiled with gentle eyes.

He raised his hand to touch Qi Huan's hair, and with a soft and somewhat helpless pampering tone, he replied teasingly, "I'm not the only one who has the final say on this matter."

Everyone has a sense of propriety, even if they wanted to change the subject and bypass this hurdle, Qi Huan also looked at him and said with a smile: "You never went to my house to propose marriage."
