Chapter 285 Meeting Everyone
Upon entering the estate, there were already several young men and women inside.
Xiao Siyu and Xiao Sining first handed their horses to the servants, and then led Xiao Siyue toward the group.
"Sining, Siyu, you're here." A handsome young man of seventeen or eighteen greeted them warmly.
“Yunze”.
Gu Yunze's eyes lit up when he saw Xiao Siyue: "Siyu, this must be your sister Siyue, whom you always talk about."
"Yes, Yue'er, this is Gu Yunze, the third young master of the Duke of Anguo's mansion," Xiao Siyu introduced.
"Greetings, Third Young Master Gu." Xiao Siyue bowed slightly, offering a polite greeting with an appropriate smile on her face.
“Siyue, call me Third Brother Gu. Your brother and I are good friends, so his sister is my sister,” Gu Yunze said loudly.
"Third Brother Gu," Xiao Siyue called out without hesitation.
Gu Yunze's smile widened. He liked girls who were so outgoing and confident. Girls who were shy and blushed easily were too difficult to get along with. No wonder she was his friend's sister.
"Haha, let me introduce these guys to you, Brother Gu." The others were already incredibly curious and had been watching them intently.
"This is my younger sister, Gu Xinglan. She's probably a year or two older than you. She's quite wild." Gu Yunze clearly dotes on his sister, as his tone was full of affection despite his words.
"Ah, Third Brother, where did I go wild?" Gu Xinglan immediately objected, glaring at Gu Yunze.
"Can I call you Siyue? You can call me Xinglan. You look really good dressed like this." She had noticed this smartly dressed little girl a while ago.
"Of course you can, Xinglan, you look beautiful too." Xiao Siyue looked at the girl who was half a head taller than her. The young girl was in the prime of her life, wearing a blue riding outfit. She looked playful and cute, with big, round eyes.
Gu Xinglan was even happier and immediately started chattering, "How come I never thought hair could be styled like this? You know, when you came in just now, I thought Brother Siyu had brought a handsome young master from somewhere. Your outfit is so good-looking, but mainly it's because you're good-looking. And, Siyue, you also have a kind of..."
"Alright, Third Brother still needs to introduce other people to Siyue. You two can chat later," Gu Yunze interrupted the two.
"Okay, okay, let's talk later." Gu Xinglan pouted.
"Sister Siyue, this is Bai Minghao, the second young master of the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion." Bai Minghao was tall and handsome. Although he was not as good-looking as Gu Yunze, he was still handsome and had a good appearance. He was the kind of person that many people liked. However, he had an aura that resembled his third brother, so he must have been on the battlefield.
"Greetings, Young Master Bai."
"Hello, Miss Xiao."
The two were not familiar with each other, and Bai Minghao was not a talkative person, so they exchanged a polite greeting.
"You two are being too polite. Siyue, you can just call him Second Brother Bai," Gu Yunze said quickly, looking at their apocalyptic way of addressing each other.
"Second Brother Bai." "Sister Siyue."
"Alright, that's more like it. Let me continue introducing you. This is Ye Mucheng, the young master of the Earl of Zhongqin's mansion. He's the youngest among us, only fifteen years old."
"This is Ye Mufan. The two of them are twins, Mufan is the older sister, and Mucheng is the younger brother."
These two are truly twins; they look so alike! If it weren't for their different clothes and heights, it would be hard to tell them apart.
Because they are still young, they both have baby faces and are incredibly cute.
Seeing Xiao Siyue looking at them curiously, the two of them didn't say anything; they were already used to such gazes.
"Hello, Siyue." Ye Mucheng greeted her with a smile, but this smile made her even cuter, making one really want to pinch her round cheeks.
"Hello, Brother Mu Cheng." Xiao Siyue really wanted to call him her younger brother.
"Hello Siyue, I'm Mufan." Ye Mufan greeted her first.
"Hello, Mu Fan."
“Sister Siyue, this is Xie Jinxiao, the son of the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review. He has always been a cold and aloof person, so please don’t mind him, Sister Siyue.”
"No way." My god, this person is really good-looking. He's not the traditional handsome type, but has a kind of feminine beauty. His features are more delicate than a woman's, and he has a pair of peach blossom eyes. However, his aura is very cold. He doesn't smile at all and his face is tense, making him seem very unapproachable.
After everyone had been introduced, Gu Yunze said, "Siyue, there's one more person, but she hasn't arrived yet. I'll introduce her to you when she comes."
Just then, the sound of horses' hooves came from the direction of the door.
"I was just saying that, and here it is." Gu Yunze looked in that direction.
Xiao Siyue also looked over. The person was dressed in black and rode a horse. This scene was very familiar. Xiao Siyue looked closely and realized that she really recognized the person. Wasn't he Lu Zhijin, the young general of the Duke of Dingguo's mansion?
Lu Zhijin dismounted, handed the horse to his servant, and strode over.
"Zhijin, you've finally arrived," Gu Yunze said with a smile, patting Lu Zhijin on the shoulder.
"Sorry I'm late."
"It's not too late, we haven't been here long either. Let me introduce you, this is Siyu's sister..."
"I know her, Siyue, it's nice to see you again." Lu Zhijin greeted Xiao Siyue with a smile.
"Hello, Brother Lu." Xiao Siyue quickly greeted him. This person was really too good-looking. Originally, everyone in this group was good-looking, but as soon as this person came, he immediately made the others look a bit ordinary. The only one who could befriend him was probably Xie Jinxiao.
However, compared to Xie Jinxiao's coldness, Lu Zhijin always possessed a vigorous vitality. He was young and spirited, and no one was more suitable for him than Lu Zhijin.
"You two actually know each other? How did you meet?" Now it was Gu Yunze's turn to be curious.
“Last year, my mother and I went to the outskirts to burn incense. On our way back, the carriage broke down. We happened to run into Siyue, who was returning to the city, so we hitched a ride with them,” Lu Zhijin explained simply.
Xiao Siyue nodded as well.
"I see, you two are quite destined to meet."
“Alright, let’s have a good competition today. We haven’t had a match since you went to the border. Let me see if you’ve regressed,” Gu Yunze said.
"Okay, I'm also very interested to see if you've improved. Don't fall too far behind me."
"Hey, don't underestimate me. I practice all the time. You might not even be as good as me." Gu Yunze was quite unconvinced.
He grew up with Lu Zhijin, who learned everything faster than others, which was incredibly discouraging. However, he wasn't jealous. If Lu Zhijin was slightly inferior, it might be understandable, but the difference was too great, so he could only console himself.
But you still have to be stubborn.
