Chapter 43 Taking the Lead
Under the blue sky.
Light and shadow sway between heaven and earth.
Waiting for the maid to lift the curtain, Shen Ange just bent down and got out of the carriage, and saw a strong arm with a wrist guard handed over from the side. This wrist guard...
Shen Ange put her arm on her arm and glanced subconsciously. Sure enough, it was Gu Qing. She looked away and got out of the car silently.
Gu Qing?
Why is he here?
Shen Ange remembered that his name was not on the accompanying list, but he was not surprised for some reason.
"Why are you here?"
He was originally a guard in the inner courtyard, and she asked him not to move around casually. He should not be seen by Sister, so how could he be allowed to accompany her.
Gu Qing lowered her head slightly and said, "Miss, please pay attention to your steps."
After noon, all the officials' sons who had been invited for the autumn hunt had arrived, and each found a flat place in the mountains to set up camp.
Inside the Shen family tent.
Yun Zhi brought a basin of water into the tent, rolled up Shen Ange's sleeves, wetted the handkerchief, and wiped it carefully.
"Miss, I've asked the eldest lady. The horse slaves who were originally accompanying me were so hungry that they had vomiting and diarrhea all night and couldn't get out of bed. The housekeeper really couldn't find anyone. I saw a young man who was good at handling horses, so I asked for instructions. Miss, let him accompany you."
"Miss, don't worry. The eldest lady said she won't let him get close to you, so I guess there won't be any problem."
Shen Ange handed the used handkerchief to Yun Zhi. This was not the problem she was worried about. The coldness of the mountain spring water made her thoughts clearer.
As a prince, Gu Qing, even though he was neglected and had no sense of presence in the palace, he had lived in the palace for a period of time after all, and many of the descendants of the hunting family were relatives of the emperor, so he was not afraid of being Do you recognize it?
Even in her previous life, she knew very little about Gu Qing's past and had never seen through him.
Yun Zhi brought a red waist riding outfit and put it on for her.
"An Ge, come out quickly! Everyone has settled down and is ready to hunt!"
Zhao Zhiyin's voice came from outside the tent, interrupting Shen Ange's thoughts with a little excitement.
Although the autumn sunshine is hot, it is not too poisonous and just dispels the cold wind.
When Shen Ange came out of the tent, the children of each family had gathered outside the forest with sharp arrows on their backs and good bows in their hands.
At a glance, people with high official positions and prominent family backgrounds all kept falcons and hounds. The dogs were barking and the birds were singing, making it very lively.
Shen Ange squeezed the golden riding whip in her hand, and when the guard took the red horse from the Western Regions that her father had spent a lot of money to buy, she stepped on the stirrup and stepped on it.
She has the style of a general and a tiger girl.
Yun Zhi hesitated to speak while under the horse, and looked at her worriedly and said: "Miss, do you want to ride a horse? It's too dangerous? You fell from it last time, otherwise, why don't we just wait here?"
Shen Ange became excited and had already overcome his fear.
"I will be careful. You wait for me in the tent and I will hunt a pheasant for you when I return in triumph."
Shen Ange strolled away on his BMW.
The horse is a BMW, and the beauty on the BMW is dressed in a red dress with a waist and riding attire, which is very neat, and even more eye-catching than her usual hairpin ring and green skirt.
For a moment, all the children from each family focused on the woman in front of them, with obvious astonishment. They probably did not expect that the youngest daughter of the Shen family, who was jealous of men, could be such a beauty.
Not far away, someone approached Zhou Jing and said with envy on his face: "Brother Zhou, how can you not be moved by such beauties surrounding you?"
"Yes, Brother Zhou, I didn't expect that the youngest daughter of the Shen family would be so stunning. It would be a pity for you to miss her, Brother Zhou, but we are blessed."
All the whispers from the side reached Qiao Yulan's ears, and her hand holding the horse's rope became tighter and tighter.
Zhou Jing rode up to her and walked around her before reining in his horse and stopping. He told her in a gentle voice: "Sister Ange, the terrain in the forest is complicated. Remember to follow the crowd later and don't run too far."
"Okay." Shen Ange nodded, joined the hunting team with him, and stood beside Shen Wuhua.
Shen Wuhua didn't know what happened between the two of them, but he looked at the two of them meaningfully and said jokingly: "Mr. Zhou, this seems to be my sister. How come she seems to be your... person?" ."
The tone at the end of the sentence was deliberately elongated, making Shen Ange feel a little embarrassed and angry.
"Sister, don't talk nonsense."
As soon as the horn sounded, hundreds of horses rolled up the long slope and rushed away, startling countless birds in the forest.
Among all the people, Shen Wuhua was the only one who kept pace with the men, no matter how close they were.
Zhao Zhiyin reined in his horse and came to Shen Ange's side. Seeing her staring at the retreating figure in front of him, he thought she was looking at Zhou Jing.
Then he joked: "What? The old love has rekindled? Are you still reluctant to let go of your brother Zhou Jing? That's right. Among the unmarried children of aristocratic families here, he is the only one who can tolerate it and is barely worthy of you..."
Why did this topic suddenly come up here?
Shen Ange interrupted her in time: "I just wanted to see who would win between Sister A and that person. Where were you thinking?"
The two were talking when they suddenly heard a familiar female voice coming from behind, calling: "Miss Shen."
Shen Ange turned around and saw Qiao Yulan in green clothes and a man following her.
Alas, Shen Ange sighed in his heart, thinking of all the events in his past life and the fate of the Qiao family, which finally settled on the night when Qiao Yulan was left bloody and bloody.
In her previous life, Shen Ange was poisoned and couldn't wake up for a long time. When she woke up, she saw Qiao Yulan's face that had been scratched by someone. Love can lead to hatred, and jealousy can blind her eyes. She saw that her family was ruined regardless of her. Zhou Jing still loves him, and he successfully moves into the Prince Regent's Mansion...
The unwarranted anger suddenly disappeared and became extremely calm.
Shen Ange straightened up on the horse and responded in a calm tone: "Miss Qiao."
Qiao Yulan walked past her proudly, not forgetting to gouge her out a few times.
After the person walked away, she asked Zhao Zhiyin: "Who is the man behind her?"
Zhao Zhiyin followed his gaze and looked over, "Oh, he is Qiao Yulan's cousin. He was adopted by the Qiao family when there was no one left at home."
"Let's not talk about this anymore, An Ge, are you just going to get up like this when you come today?"
Speaking of this, Shen Ange smiled wildly and said, "How is that possible? Come on, let's see who hunts more."
As soon as he finished speaking, cheers from afar broke the peace in the forest.
Zhao Zhiyin's eyes lit up: "It seems that someone has the upper hand, so fast!"
"Come on, let's go take a look." Shen Ange whipped up his horsewhip and drove away through the forest.
Shen Wuhua hunted a wild boar and won the first prize. He planted the flag of the Shen family emblem on the prey. He was extremely heroic.
On the side, the noble man who had been competing with Shen Wuhua for the hunt just now was panting on his horse and glared at Shen Wuhua unwillingly.
"Just now I saw that you are a woman, so I gave you three points. I will never show mercy next time!"
"Which family are you a daughter of? I will remember you."
Shen Wuhua looked at him arrogantly and replied: "General's Mansion, Shen Wuhua."
The man was surprised and said, "So you are the female general who was sent to the border. No wonder you look strange."
