Rebirth: Return to Houfu

Chapter 21

Going north all the way out of the city, after half an hour of galloping, Wei Qian and Sun Wenfei took the reins.

In a delicate voice, she ordered all the attendants to stand by. Wei Qian raised her chin and looked at Gu Fangling provocatively: "Second Miss Gu, come for a match?"

As soon as Wei Qian said this, Sun Wenfei and Gu Fangyao immediately gloated.Wei Qinghao and Qin Yunran looked sideways, their eyes full of searching.

Gu Fangling's heart moved slightly, but she didn't feel too surprised.Wei Qian didn't hide her dislike from the very beginning.In addition, Qin Yunran is here again at this moment, how could Wei Qian let go of the great opportunity to crush her?

It is said that Yancheng women are good at riding, but it is only limited to famous families and official residences.The daughters of ordinary people have no place to ride horses, let alone the capital to laugh at will.

In terms of emotion and reason, Gu Fangling, who was exiled in Licheng for five years, should be far behind Wei Qian and the other three who were born and raised in Yancheng.That's why Wei Qian made this suggestion in order to save Gu Fangling's face.

However, Wei Qian's calculation was definitely wrong.There was nothing in Licheng Bieyuan, but it just so happened that there was a large piece of lush grass.

As early as in her previous life, Gu Fangling had encircled that piece of grass as a place exclusively for her to ride horses.Even though she seldom competes with others, Gu Fangling, who has always used horse riding as a way to vent all negative emotions, still does not lose to others, and has practiced a good riding skill that makes people applaud.

"Since we want to compare, let's all come together! Fangyao and I are also counted, let's compare together." Sun Wenfei was happy to see Gu Fangling's jokes, and did not forget to recruit Gu Fangyao to join the gang, and tried her best to suppress Gu Fangling.

Qin Yunran opened his mouth, and when he was about to speak, Wei Qinghao stopped him with his eyes.

"Since there is a competition, how about a gamble?" Gu Fangyao, who had been planning for a long time, finally found a chance to speak out, instead of looking at Gu Fangling, she asked Wei Qian and Sun Wenfei.

"Oh? What lottery does Fangyao want to bet on?" Wei Qian asked excitedly.

Sun Wenfei also nodded, with a patient look willing to hear more about it.

Gu Fangyao, who has successfully become the focus of everyone's attention, showed a smug look on her face, and she was not afraid of being seen hiding under the veil: "Why don't you just bet on this year's September Golden Autumn Banquet? No matter who is inferior today, you must not regret it, you must win it." Pour a cup of tea for the other three in public at the Golden Autumn Banquet to show that you are convinced?"

The Golden Autumn Banquet in September, like the Horse Riding Competition in March, is a sensational event in the whole city.The difference is that the horse-riding competition pursues the valiant and heroic appearance of the daughter's family, while the golden autumn banquet focuses on the beauty of the ladies in the boudoir.

If the former is just a hobby in spare time, it won't hurt face if you lose.Then the embarrassment at the Golden Autumn Banquet is a great shame, at least it will be ridiculed by Quan Yancheng for a whole year.Unless he finds his place again at the Golden Autumn Banquet in the coming year, he will definitely not be able to turn over.

Gu Fangyao dared to choose this day as the lottery, so she naturally believed that Gu Fangling would definitely lose.Wei Qian and Sun Wenfei also saw through the strangeness.

"No problem, it's decided like this." Wei Qian replied without hesitation for a moment.She is a good horseman, and it is absolutely impossible for her to lose to Gu Fangling.

"I also agree with this proposal." Sun Wenfei said in a very gentle tone.As the daughter of the brave general Sun Ao, how could she lose to others on horseback?Especially losing to Gu Fangling, that is absolutely not allowed by her.

"Then it's settled like this. The prince and Yunran will be your witnesses. The four present are all well-known and famous ladies in Yancheng. No matter who loses, they can't play tricks and deny their account. If you cry, then It won't look good!" Before Qin Yunran could speak, Wei Qinghao helped him speak.At the end, I didn't forget to laugh and make fun of a few words, which instantly opened up the scene.

"Whoever is crying is a puppy!" He snorted angrily, and among the four of them, Wei Qian dared to talk back to Wei Qinghao.

"Then I'll have the Third Prince Lao and Young Master Qin help me to witness it." Sun Wenfei's words were full of confidence and momentum.

Will the third prince witness for them?Gu Fangyao pursed her lips into a smile, and a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes.If so, she will have to perform better.

"Where's Miss Gu? What do you think?" Qin Yunran finally made a statement, staring at Gu Fangling with concern and asking.

It's not that he didn't see the third prince winking at him again and again, but he regretted missing it once.Qin Yunran didn't want to, he had obviously started to regret it, but he was still obsessed with going to the end of a dead end.

"Brother Qin, what's the point of asking? She must have no objection! Is it possible that you still want to go back on your word?" Seeing that Qin Yunran cared about Gu Fangling, Wei Qian immediately said displeased.

"Xiaoqian, Mr. Qin just asked casually out of politeness." Sun Wenfei pointedly reminded while defusing the tense atmosphere.

Wei Qian suddenly came back to her senses, realizing that she had accidentally lost her composure in front of Qin Yunran, and even even criticized Qin Yunran.Immediately very annoyed, he hurriedly explained: "Brother Qin, I'm sorry, I'm not..."

"No problem." Before Wei Qian could finish speaking, Qin Yunran shook his head.The tone was indifferent, revealing the alienation of rejecting people thousands of miles away.

Wei Qian couldn't help feeling even more uncomfortable, and couldn't help but resent Gu Fangling even more in her heart.If it wasn't for Gu Fangling, Brother Qin wouldn't be angry with her and treat her so coldly.

"Okay, Xiaoqian. It's not a big deal, so don't take it to heart." Wei Qinghao loves Wei Qian a lot.Seeing that he lost his posture in front of Qin Yunran, he made a break.

"En." Wei Qian nodded, her eyes turned red with reddish circles.Even though no one could see her gaffe at the moment through the veil, she was still afraid of being seen by Qin Yunran.

He lost his momentum before the battle started, but Gu Fangling was always able to deal with it freely, advancing and retreating... Wei Qinghao couldn't help but shook his head in his heart, and sighed softly: Xiaoqian is still far behind!

After such a commotion, Gu Fangling was ignored again and became a transparent person.But as Wei Qinghao observed, she didn't take it seriously, nor did she feel dejected.Just like a bystander, watching Wei Qian's commotion without concern for himself.

Apparently aware that something was wrong, Sun Wenfei coughed lightly: "Xiaoqian, the horse race has started."

"I hope the little princess will show mercy, and don't let Fangyao lose too badly." Gu Fangyao interjected in a timely manner, expressing her firm support for Wei Qian without any trace.

"Hmph! There are no fathers and sons on the battlefield, so I won't be merciful. Let the princess wait and see!" Wei Qian raised her whip and ran out first.

"Xiaoqian, wait for me." Sun Wenfei might as well give way, and chased after her.

"Sister, sister go ahead." Since both Wei Qian and Sun Wenfei were cheating, Gu Fangyao was no longer polite to Gu Fangling.Anyway, she must leave Gu Fangling at the end, so it's okay to go a step earlier.

"Yun Ran, let's keep up." Said it was a testimony, but Wei Qinghao never thought about the so-called fairness and justice from the beginning to the end.No, at the beginning of the competition, he completely ignored the crisis that Wei Qian and the other three brought to Gu Fangling, and only waited for the final result.

Wei Qinghao rode his horse away, but he didn't notice that Qin Yunran beside him didn't follow closely.

Since everyone didn't follow the rules, Gu Fangling didn't plan to play cards according to common sense.It's just that when she was about to leave, she was stopped by Qin Yunran.

Raising his eyebrows, Gu Fangling looked at Qin Yunran in surprise: "Young Master Qin, do you intend to let me compete?"

"No." Qin Yunran looked slightly embarrassed, and knew that the timing was wrong.But apart from today, he really couldn't find any other suitable time to meet Gu Fangling.And this is exactly the purpose of his meeting today.

"Then why do you dare to ask Mr. Qin?" Gu Fangling was not afraid of losing, but she couldn't bear to lose so unclearly.If Wei Qian and the others made up their minds to do this, she might as well just turn around and leave, instead of staying here to waste time with them.

Seeing that Gu Fangling was really angry, Qin Yunran let go of his original plan to have a good talk with Gu Fangling in private, let Kailu point to another direction and said to Gu Fangling: "Second Miss Gu, why don't you go?" Here."

Gu Fangling did not drive the horse away, but waited for Qin Yunran's next words with a half smile.She didn't think that Qin Yunran would kindly point out a shortcut for her, maybe it was Wei Qian's trick again!
"If Second Miss Gu is worried about being cheated, why don't you come down and lead the way for Second Miss Gu?" After Qin Yunran finished speaking, he galloped out without waiting for Gu Fangling's answer.

Gu Fangling paused for a moment, pulled the reins, and set off in Qin Yunran's direction.
