Splendid Pastoral

Chapter 395
Xu went to bed early yesterday, and the next morning, Zhao Min woke up early, feeling energetic all over.

When Zhao Min sat up from the bed, Gu Lingqing walked towards her with a shabby cotton coat.

"Here, the cotton coat you want, it's already dawn, get up quickly, get up and eat something."

Zhao Min smiled at him, stretched out his hands, in a posture of hugging, Gu Lingqing smiled helplessly, put the cotton padded jacket beside him, walked forward, hugged her, and kissed her on the forehead again .

"I really want to hold you like this and not let go." Zhao Min leaned her head on Gu Lingqing's chest, expressing her emotion.

"Don't delay any longer." Gu Lingqing tried her best to suppress her inner urge to keep her here, "It's getting late, get up obediently."

"Okay." Hearing Gu Lingqing's gentle words ringing in his ears, Zhao Min also knew that this was not the time for him to be self-willed, so he got up immediately and put on the old cotton coat.

If possible, Gu Lingqing really wanted to send Zhao Min to a nearby town and come back, but he couldn't do that, so he had to let Zhao Min go alone, because he was too ostentatious, and he was afraid of being with her. It will cause her unnecessary trouble.

Zhao Min still scattered and hid money everywhere on his body, and only another worn-out cotton padded jacket was in his baggage.

Just after Zhao Min packed his luggage, a soldier's voice came from outside the door: "My lord, the noodles are ready."

"Okay, bring it in."

After getting Gu Lingqing's permission, the soldier walked into the tent with a bowl of hot noodles, put it on the table, and then quickly backed out.

"Come here and have something to eat, don't go on the road hungry." Gu Lingqing greeted Zhao Min who was beside her.

Zhao Min nodded, walked to the side, and obediently ate the noodles.

During this process, neither of them opened their mouths to speak, and Gu Lingqing sat aside, watching her eat, and a warm current rushed through her heart.

After Zhao Min finished her meal, Gu Lingqing took out the dry food and water that she had prepared for her when she got up early: "Put these on, just in case. "

"Okay." Zhao Min packed the dry food into the bag and pinned the water bottle to his waist.

"Oh, that's right!" As if he suddenly remembered something, he ran outside the tent, found a place without snow around, stretched out his hand and wiped it twice, and wiped his face dirty, and then ran to the tent again. Among the tents.

Zhao Min came in with a chill in her body, Gu Lingqing looked at her dirty face, thought it was funny, but at the same time couldn't help feeling very distressed.

"I'm leaving, you remember what I told you yesterday, don't forget to write to me."

Even though it was a parting, even though she was reluctant to give up, Zhao Min did not shed tears, because this visit to Gu Lingqing was already an extremely satisfying trip for her.

Gu Lingqing hugged Zhao Min tightly in her arms: "I will, you must be careful on the way, and write to me as soon as you arrive in the imperial city safely."

"Okay." Until now, Zhao Min's voice was a little choked up, but he was still stubborn and didn't let himself shed tears.

Withdrawing from Gu Lingqing's arms, Zhao Min forced himself to smile, patted his shoulder, and said pretending to be chic: "I'm leaving, don't come out to see me off, I'm afraid I'll cry."

"it is good."

Gu Lingqing watched Zhao Min get out of the tent, went out alone, found the way she came, and walked slowly in the snow.

Zhao Min embarked on the journey back to the imperial city. What she didn't know was that Gu Lingqing had been silently following her, and she didn't return until she reached the first town.

Wang Zimo looked at the invitation card in his hand, Zhao Min's birthday would be three days later, and he didn't know what gifts to prepare for her.

I have no friendship with Xiao Mo in private, but I just met a few times before.

Thinking about his current relationship with Xiao Yichen, after all, he will be the one who will get along with him all day, so he can't be too hard on the surface.

For some reason, Wang Zimo just couldn't like Xiao Mo. It was like this from the first meeting. Even though there was no conflict between the two, it might be a woman's intuition. They always feel that the two are like natural enemies.

This invitation was personally invited by Mrs. Xiao, so why not go?

Jiang Yanran still has a lot of face. On Xiao Mo's birthday, almost all the young and respectable people in the capital came.

Yes, Mrs. Xiao just invited the younger generation. After all, it is Xiao Mo's birthday. Young people have something to talk with, so there is no need for them who are elders to get involved.

At the door, Wang Zimo bumped into the nine princesses who came, and the two happened to bump into each other, so they simply went in together.

"I didn't see Miss Xiao holding any birthday banquets in previous years."

Wang Zimo was very puzzled. Although this Xiao Mo was adopted by the Xiao family, it was not a secret in the imperial city. However, this woman has always kept a low profile, even at the gatherings of the official girls in the imperial city. She rarely participated, and it was the first time that so many people were invited to her birthday banquet with such a big fanfare.

"Who knows what happened to her this year? If it wasn't for Mrs. Xiao's sake, I wouldn't come here..."

The Ninth Princess has not been in a good mood recently, if it wasn't for Jiang Yanran's face, she would definitely not be present today.

During this period of time, she looked everywhere for the murderer of Zhao Min with great fanfare, but more than half a month has passed, and there is still no progress, no traces to check, that person seems to have disappeared out of thin air, and there is no way to start .

"When it's over, let's go and see Zhao Min. Although we can't visit, it's better if we ask Nanny Gu about her physical examination."

This is another reason why she came to this banquet today.

"Okay." Wang Zimo readily agreed. Although she had just asked Gu Nai a few days ago, Bao Buqi now Zhao Min's condition has improved.

After the two entered the mansion together, they went down to the hall where the banquet was held under the guidance of the servants. The two sat directly together and watched the people who came in one after another.

Since Wang Zimo shuttled around the homes of high-ranking officials and nobles all day long, he also had a good grasp of the situation in the imperial city. Looking at the people who came in one after another, he probably understood why this banquet was held.

It seems that this time Mrs. Xiao not only invited young ladies from major families in the imperial city, but also many young people of appropriate age.

Thinking of Xiao Mo's current age, it seems that Mrs. Xiao is already planning for her marriage.
