The heroine Jiangshan

Chapter 114 Spring Festival ([-])

In the bright morning light of early spring, the feathers of the golden eagle are shining brightly, and the sharp amber eagle eyes are looking around, with a great air.

Under the astonished eyes of everyone, Yun Ruochen teased the golden eagle and shouted with a smile: "Ache, are you still coming out?"

"Haha, Ruochen, you are always so courageous."

On the other side of the woods, several teenagers in brocade clothes came on horseback.The young man in the lead was riding on an exceptionally tall brown horse, with thick eyebrows drawn into his temples, and a high spirited look. Who else could it be but Gu Che?
Although most of the spring hunting was participated by the royal family, some important ministers were also invited to bring their children to participate in the previous worship and the two-day hunting, which was regarded as an activity of "enhancing the relationship" between the royal family and the ministers outside the court.Gu Gelao was naturally among those invited.

Gu Che left his companions behind, drove the horse to Yun Ruochen's side, put his fingers to his lips and whistled.Unexpectedly, Jin Ying just glanced at him proudly, without any intention of moving away, and still stood on Yun Ruochen's forearm with his head idly raised.

"Hey! It's strange, why is my little Jin so convinced by you?"

Gu Che was really surprised, he knew that Yun Ruochen was not afraid of Xiao Jin, but he didn't expect that Xiao Jin, who only listened to his own words, would love to get close to Yun Ruochen.

Yun Ruochen laughed straight: "There is something called character. Who told me that my character is too good? Right, Xiao Jin?"

She stretched out her hand to tease the golden eagle's sharp beak, but the golden eagle avoided her hand arrogantly, making Gu Che laugh out loud again.

"Xiao Jin said that some people's skins are too thick, and it can't see it."

"Who is the cheek to say!"

"Cheek-skinned... Humph, you're playing tricks on me again."

Gu Che didn't realize that he was being tricked by Yun Ruochen halfway through his speech, and rolled his eyes angrily.

The noble ladies not far away were afraid of the power of the golden eagle and did not dare to approach it. The golden eagle looked half the height of Yun Ruochen, so fierce!I don't know where the little princess got the courage to let it stop in his hand, it's too dangerous!

However, the children of several important ministers who entered the mountain with Gu Che had only envy, jealousy and hatred for Gu Che's ability to chat and laugh with the little princess.

Oh, so what about jealousy?Gu Che is the grandson of Elder Gu Ge, and the Gu family has a deep friendship with the Prince's Mansion, otherwise how could he be selected as the servant of the little princess?As far as his vulgar cultural level is concerned, hum.

"Hey, have you guys heard about the secret discussion between the Gu family and the Prince's Mansion..."

"You mean, between Gu Che and the little Princess..."

"Well, that's it."

A few fourteen or fifteen-year-old boys quietly turned into gossip women, and began to whisper gossip from a few horses away, unknowingly attracting those little ladies.

"What, you say, the Gu family wants that Gu Che to be the county horse?"

"Let's not say...it really seems like that..."

People in this era generally live short lives, and most folks have a tradition of getting married at the age of fifteen or sixteen.Although most of the royal children will discuss marriage after the age of 16, in fact, they often start thinking about their lifelong affairs after the children are ten years old.

It takes a year or two for a blind date, and another year or two for a wedding. These all take time. More importantly, if you meet a suitable one, you have to make a decision first, otherwise it will easily delay your child's marriage.

The so-called marriage is a good marriage of two surnames, and it is more about considering the benefits that this marriage can bring to each other's families.This is even more true for the royal family.

Yun Ruochen is about to turn ten years old this year, and Gu Che is also thirteen years old. They are both at the age when people start to pay attention to major marriage matters.

A young man said sourly: "I heard that the crown prince respects Mr. Gu Ge very much. If Mr. Gu Ge speaks, it is true..."

"Not necessarily." Someone put forward the opposite view: "The little princess is the prince's legitimate daughter, so she will naturally be named a princess in the future... Let's celebrate the dynasty, the son-in-law can't be an official, right? Gu Che is the only heir of the Gu family."

The implication is that the Gu family is unlikely to use their only grandson to marry the royal family in exchange for family wealth.

This is also normal, the prince's favor is important, but in the aristocratic family, it is the right way for a man to become an official.If Gu Che married Yun Ruochen, his way forward would be blocked.

Wealth is certainly wealth, but for a family like the Gu family who are poets and scholars at Tsinghua University, if no children become officials, the family's honor will be cut off!
"Tch, you don't even think about whether Gu Che can be admitted to Jinshi...Even if he enrolls in the Imperial Academy, isn't it just a small job? Compared to him, being a son-in-law is not bad."

There is another older boy who is studying in the Imperial College to analyze from another angle.

Everyone suddenly nodded.Yes!I have forgotten about Gu Che's "ignorance and incompetence". I heard that he didn't even memorize the "Three Character Classic". He is so stupid, he only knows how to practice martial arts and archery. son!

If that's the case, it's no wonder that Gu's elders are bothering to plan a rich and idle life for him!
"...thank me?"

Unaware that those people were talking about him, Gu Che approached Yun Ruochen with a playful smile and said in a low voice, "I knew you were impatient with those Miss Jiao, that's why I asked Xiao Jin to come over and drive them away!"

"Okay, thank you very much, I will secretly treat you to a good drink tonight."

Yun Ruochen looked at his sunny smiling face, which was more dazzling than Chen Xi, and immediately felt very good.

Gu Che's ears are not as sharp as hers, but she has absorbed all the gossip of those people into her ears.Please, do they understand what a wall has ears?It's not even through the wall, do you think you can't hear it if you are a little farther away?
Hmph, don't underestimate a well-trained qimen warlock, boys!
But it was also thanks to their gossip that she suddenly realized one thing - she is not yet ten years old, is she already at the age where people will pay attention to "marriage"!

It's too scary, she hasn't fully enjoyed her nominal childhood, and she is about to welcome the world of adults?Well, even if her soul is already an adult, she hasn't thought about her life's major issues at all...

"Hey, why are you in a daze, let's go. I'll take you hunting! I'm an expert at hunting!"

Gu Che rubbed his hands together, looking very excited, feeling excited that "brother has finally found his home field in life".Yun Ruochen shrugged, raised the golden eagle with a wave of his hand, and the two rode their horses to chase the large army into the forest at the same time.

The guards who had been standing beside them in full armor also patted their horses and followed, and the official boys and the rich ladies who had enough gossip also greeted each other and continued to move forward.

Alas, it seems that with Gu Che around, no one else can get close to the little princess, this guy who only wants to hug his thighs and eat soft food!

Gu Che's riding skills are very good, but he was worried about Yun Ruochen, and he didn't dare to let the horse run wild, and carefully adjusted the horse's footsteps to keep in line with Yun Ruochen's rhythm.

Well, this kid is quite careful sometimes.

Yun Ruochen urged the horse to move forward unhurriedly, turned his face to chat with Gu Che from time to time, secretly approving in his heart.

In fact, she knew that Gu Che's reputation was not good among the elite circles in the capital.

In this Confucian society where everything is low-class except for high-level reading, Gu Che, who came from a famous family, is "semi-literate". No matter how good he is in other aspects, he will be looked down upon.

As for the other officials' children, their family background is worse than his, their character is not so good, and their looks are sorry... Maybe they have been hollowed out by the fireworks girl, but they can still show their superiority in front of Gu Che. It's just that he can read better than him.

Because of this, Yun Ruochen liked Gu Che even more.

If it is said that Gu Che's "natural" temperament at the beginning was because he was not polluted by the bustling and secular world of the capital, but later he was able to maintain his original heart and live a sunny and cheerful life, then it can be seen that his heart is actually very strong.

He understands that to survive in this world, he needs to compromise with ordinary people, but he has not lost himself because of this.

Compared with those young children from clans and officials who were busy with scheming and running around, Yun Ruochen felt that people like Gu Che deserved to be called a man.

If...weighed rationally, Gu Che being his future husband-in-law...seems like it wouldn't be bad?
They probably can get along well.

Yun Ruochen just thought about it casually, and didn't really take this matter to heart.How could it be possible, the aloof old Gu Ge would not think about marrying the royal family, let alone exchange his only grandson for wealth and glory.

And Gu Che, wouldn't be happy to be a caged bird like a "son-in-law", would he?If she becomes a princess in the future, her husband-in-law will only be able to take care of the clan mansion and some leisure work related to clan etiquette.

Just because she likes him as a friend, she can't hurt him.

Consort...

In the future, if you just choose an ordinary scholar and put them in the princess mansion as a front, that's fine, right?
She has no illusions about her future marriage.

Who said that maybe you love one person and marry and have children with another person.

She silently liked Nie Shen.Just liking is enough.If you're chasing results...it's just embarrassing for everyone, isn't it?
"Hey! They've all set their traps!"

Gu Che shouted loudly beside her.The guard commander next to him responded with a smile: "Young Master Gu, this place is not considered a wilderness, but some small traps have been set up to trap small animals such as hares. Do you want your brothers to surround the little ones and practice arrows?"

"No! That's so boring."

Gu Che waved his hand proudly, expressing that he didn't need the guards to gather the prey for him to "hunt".

"I have been hunting sheep and horses on the grassland with my father since I was a few years old. Just wait and watch... Well, Ruochen, you are not afraid of blood, are you?"

Yun Ruochen almost rolled his eyes in an unladylike manner. "I'm still following you because I'm afraid of blood! Isn't it too late to ask this question now, Ah Che?"

Gu Che touched his nose and just smiled.The golden eagle circled back and forth over the forest, conveying to Gu Che the movements of the prey in the forest in a flying posture that only Gu Che could understand.

Yun Ruochen raised his eyes to look at Xiao Jin, the sunlight penetrated the leaves from the sky and shone into her eyes, shining brightly.Everywhere in the woods, there are laughter and shouts from various teams...

The weather is so good and people's spirits are high.

But in this peaceful environment, Yun Ruochen's heart suddenly jumped uncontrollably.

A cold feeling pierced her heart instantly!

　In order to prove that I have fake products...Although it is very late, I still have to insist on finishing it...
