Republic of China Designer [Transmigration Book]

This time, the clothes that Jiang Kuan prepared for Xia Jinting were in compliance with the regulations. The morning gown was the customary attire for western gentlemen when they raced horses and hunted. The one given to Xia Jinting was a typical double-breasted six-button dress.

Although the clothes are in line with etiquette, Xia Jinting doesn't like it.

There are too many details in the morning dress, such as a white silk handkerchief in the chest towel pocket, trousers fixed by suspenders, a pair of wing collar shirts and Zen-shaped bow ties, etc. These details often give people a sense of restraint, let alone wearing such a suit Riding a horse is simply suffering.

But in order to retire the engagement, Xia Jinting still gritted his teeth and put it on.

On the day of the fox hunt, Xia Jinting followed Jiang Kuan to the pasture in the suburbs.

"Can you ride a horse?" Jiang Kuan got on his horse and looked down at Xia Jinting.

Xia Jinting shook his head. In his previous life, he lived in a modern age where there are many means of transportation, so there is really no need to master the skill of riding a horse.

Jiang Kuan's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and he said eagerly, "I'll teach you."

He picked a horse with drooping eyelids for Xia Jinting, and said firmly: "This one looks the most docile, try it."

Xia Jinting stepped on the horse's stirrup, and got on the horse for the first time, somewhat at a loss.

Seeing the situation, Jiang Kuan stretched out his hand to rest on Xia Jinting's waist, such a presumptuous move, Xia Jinting frowned fiercely, turned around and slapped Jiang Kuan's hand away.

"What are you doing?!" Xia Jinting said warily.

Jiang Kuan's hands turned red, and he howled immediately: "I helped you get on the horse, but you hit someone instead!"

"No need, I can do it myself!" Xia Jinting pushed hard and successfully got on the horse.

It is easy to mount a horse, but it is difficult to ride a horse, especially for a novice like Xia Jinting, who changed his perspective on horseback and immediately turned around.

What Jiang Kuan was waiting for was this opportunity. Xia Jinting didn't know how to ride a horse, so he could use the excuse of teaching horse riding to ride the same horse as Xia Jinting.

Since they are riding together, they must be in an intimate posture, and when the time comes, the warm and fragrant nephrite will be in his arms, no matter how unwilling Xia Jinting is, he will not be able to escape.

Jiang Kuan's wishful thinking was resounding, but Xia Jinting refused to let him go. Even though he was riding very hard, Xia Jinting still firmly rejected Jiang Kuan's proposal to ride the same horse.

Jiang Kuan waited for a long time, seeing Xia Jinting gradually figured out the way, he was surprised and angry.

Surprised by Xia Jinting's talent of self-teaching without a teacher, angry that the hope of riding with him has been shattered.

He didn't wait any longer, and mounted his horse again to look for prey.

At one point, he draws his shotgun, loads and shoots.

A bullet hit the prey's leg, and the injured fox moved forward little by little, dragging its injured leg.

Jiang Kuan shot again, this time, the bullet hit the vital point, and the fox fell down in response.

Xia Jinting witnessed the whole process, but he didn't feel the joy of reaping the prey.

Two bullets ruined a fresh life. The fox, which was alive and kicking one second, fell into a pool of blood the next second.

Jiang Kuan caught the prey in the net, his eyes were full of complacency.

"I'll see you off." He handed Xia Jinting the net bag containing the prey.

Xia Jinting's heart was overwhelmed, and he resolutely refused: "I don't want it."

Jiang Kuanti's hand holding the net bag froze in the air, and the smile on his face froze.

Ever since he discovered Xia Jinting's seductive and provocative side, Jiang Kuan's mind became active. The more Xia Jinting rejected him, the more he wanted to find an excuse to get closer.

Fox hunting is one of the excuses. According to Jiang Kuan's thinking, the man who rides and shoots is the most attractive, especially at the moment of shooting, the man's desire to conquer is greatly satisfied.

Whenever the prey is caught in the net, the accompanying female relatives often cast envious eyes, but Xia Jinting doesn't play cards according to common sense.Not only did he not applaud, but his eyes were full of disapproval.

Jiang Kuan turned cold, retracted the hunting net, and galloped away, not waiting for Xia Jinting behind him.

Xia Jinting came to this pasture for the first time, and he was not familiar with the place, and he didn't even know the direction.

Jiang Kuan can vent his temper at will, but he can't.

Knowing that he couldn't catch up with Jiang Kuan, Xia Jinting could only follow from a distance and gradually speed up.

There were bursts of gunfire, and Xia Jinting knew that it was Jiang Kuan who was shooting.

The sound of the gun firing really makes people's blood boil, and the smell of gunpowder still lingers in the air. Xia Jinting looks at the gun barrel in his hand, trying to aim at the prey.

The fox in the pasture was very alert, looking back while running, Xia Jinting saw a pair of ignorant and frightened eyes through the scope.

He put the gun down and shook his head.

After all, I still can't do it.

As a designer, Xia Jinting often comes into contact with the furs of various animals in his work. People are fascinated by the beauty of fox fur coats, but they have never seen the cruelty of peeling skin cramps with their own eyes.

Xia Jinting has always opposed the production of animal fur. The act of hunting is too cruel, and no matter how exquisite the work is, it loses its meaning.What Jiang Kuan accidentally touched was exactly what Xia Jinting hated the most.

Xia Jinting was thinking about something on the horse's back, but he didn't notice that the sleepy horse under him suddenly became agitated and kept digging its hooves.

The horse, which was not fast at first, galloped like crazy, Xia Jinting was startled, and clamped the horse's stomach forcefully in a panic, but couldn't stop the horse.After bumping for quite a while, Xia Jinting's palms were sweaty, his eyes were dizzy, and he couldn't tell the difference between south, east and north.

To make matters worse, even the heavens were not good, and it started to rain.

The pasture covered a large area, and he had already separated from Jiang Kuan. When he was isolated and helpless, there was a sound of horseshoes behind him.

"Relax, step on the stirrups, and try to adapt to the rhythm of the horse!"

In a panic, Xia Jinting heard a male voice guiding him to overcome difficulties step by step.

The horse had been out of control for so long, Xia Jinting's body was already stiff, but he still tried to relax his body, and when he stopped clamping the horse's stomach hard, the situation improved a lot.

"Yes, that's it, adapt to the rhythm and hold the rein tightly."

The male voice behind him issued the next instruction, and Xia Jinting followed instinctively, gradually regaining control of the horse.

"Pull the rein back, huh—" Following the man's order, the madly galloping horse finally stopped.

Xia Jinting's back was already soaked, and his face was pale and bloodless.

"Are you ok?"

Xia Jinting raised his eyes, with a trace of surprise in his eyes: "It's you?"

He and Gu Que are so destined to meet each other here.

"Get off the horse and rest for a while, I'll help you." Gu Que stretched out his hand towards Xia Jinting.

At the moment of shaking hands, Xia Jinting felt a sharp pain in his palm, the reins were held too tightly just now, and his palm was worn out.

The moment his legs touched the ground, Xia Jinting couldn't stand upright and fell into Gu Que's arms.

"Sorry, I..." In a hurry, Xia Jinting raised his eyes to see Gu Que's expression.

Gu Que smiled lightly and helped him stabilize: "It's okay, with your riding style just now, your legs will still be weak for three days."

"Don't do this again next time, it's too dangerous, why are you alone?" Gu Que saw that Xia Jinting didn't know how to ride a horse.

Xia Jinting explained the whole story to Gu Que, and finally laughed at himself: "Blame me, if I didn't try to be brave, this kind of thing wouldn't have happened."

Gu Que listened carefully the whole time, without interrupting Xia Jinting's narration.

"You intend to divorce, but in my opinion, Jiang Kuan may not be willing." Gu Que said, "If he keeps procrastinating and refuses to agree, what should you do?"

"Jiang Kuan refuses?! Why?" Xia Jinting looked blankly at the greenery in the distance.

Because he had read the original book, Xia Jinting clearly knew how much Jiang Kuan hated the original owner, so how could he disagree with the divorce?

Seeing Xia Jinting's expression, Gu Que couldn't help laughing: "It seems that you don't know anything about your own charm."

Suddenly being praised, Xia Jinting was slightly surprised: "You mean, Jiang Kuan has a crush on me...?"

"Otherwise?" Gu Que deliberately teased him, "If it were me, I would never bring an annoying person to hunt foxes."

In an instant, Xia Jinting was enlightened.

What Gu Que said is correct, Jiang Kuan's attitude recently is very weird, and he repeatedly uses his presence in front of him.

Xia Jinting didn't think about this, thinking that Jiang Kuan was just moody, if Jiang Kuan really had the intention of admiring him, the difficulty of retiring the engagement would increase...

Just as he was thinking, his shoulders suddenly felt warm, and it was Gu Que who covered him with the coat.

"Beware of catching a cold." Gu Que patted him on the shoulder, got up and took out the tarpaulin to keep out the rain from his rucksack, and set up a simple tent.

Only then did Xia Jinting react: "Mr. Gu, are you also here to hunt foxes?"

Gu Que shook his head with a smile: "I heard that this pasture is good. I'll come and have a look. If it's suitable, I'll use it to develop a holiday estate."

Developing a holiday estate? !Isn't that the developer? !

Xia Jinting is fully aware of the strong financial resources of "Mr. Gu".

The two sat under the tent for a while, as the rain gradually subsided, Gu Que glanced at Xia Jinting's shotgun, and said with a light smile, "Did you try to shoot?"

Xia Jinting shook his head: "It's too bloody, I don't like it." Then he thought again, since Gu Que wants to buy the pasture, he must like hunting foxes, this is a disappointment.

After all, during the period of the Republic of China, people generally did not have the awareness of animal protection. In the era when rich wine and meat stink, and the roads were frozen to death, who would regret the life of a fox.

"I don't like it either." Unexpectedly, Gu Que nodded, agreeing with Xia Jinting's opinion, "Fox hunting is indeed too bloody. If I take over, this pasture will probably ban hunting."

Xia Jinting looked at Gu Que in surprise.

"Such a beautiful place shouldn't be stained with blood." Gu Que raised his eyes and looked into the distance.

Looking from Xia Jinting's point of view, just seeing that handsome side face that was slashed with a knife, Gu Que seemed to have a magical power that made people unable to look away.

"My face is better than the scenery?"

Hearing Gu Que's low-pitched laughter, Xia Jinting came back to his senses, he hastily looked away, and his ears were stained with a layer of pink because of a ridicule.

It turns out that gentlemen like Gu Que can make jokes, but the "Mr. Gu" in Xia Jinting's eyes gradually becomes more three-dimensional.

The two sat for a while, and it was getting late, but Jiang Kuan was nowhere to be found.

Xia Jinting couldn't hold back and sneezed several times, his face was tired.

Gu Que frowned, and helped Xia Jinting up: "It's getting late, I'll take you back."

Xia Jinting was frightened and drenched in the rain this day, his physical strength was already exhausted, so he half leaned on Gu Que and walked out.

After walking for about a stick of incense, there was a faint sound of horseshoes ahead, and Jiang Kuan's shout could be heard when he got closer.

The two sides met each other, Jiang Kuan opened his mouth and said: "Where did you go, I will look for you everywhere!"

Xia Jinting was very dizzy, frowned and said: "You run too fast, I can't catch up with you."

Jiang Kuan's eyes fell on Gu Que, and he was stunned for a moment.

Gu Que's appearance and temperament are too outstanding, today he is only dressed in casual clothes, but his aura is stronger than that of Jiang Kuan who is wearing a morning coat.

Jiang Kuan has always been a bully and shy of the hard, he became shorter when he met Gu Que, and seeing Xia Jinting half leaning against Gu Que's arms, he immediately took all his anger on Xia Jinting.

"If you can't catch up, you won't wait there, why run around?!" Jiang Kuan asked in a questioning tone.

Xia Jinting didn't have the heart to argue with him, but just wanted Jiang Kuan to fulfill his promise quickly: "It's agreed, I promise you to hunt the fox, and you will divorce me, and the engagement contract will be brought."

Jiang Kuan saw that the topic fell back on remarriage, rolled his eyes, and evaded, "I didn't bring it with me, I'll give it to you next time."

By now, Xia Jinting fully understood that Jiang Kuan was deliberately procrastinating and not retiring the engagement.

"I'll count to three, and give me the engagement contract!" Xia Jinting stretched out his hand to Jiang Kuan calmly.

Jiang Kuan was a face-saving man, he couldn't tolerate Xia Jinting talking to himself like this in front of outsiders, and said angrily: "I said I didn't bring it, but you don't believe it!"

"Three..." Xia Jinting didn't care what he said, just reported the number by himself.

"Stop making trouble, I said, I really didn't bring it."

"two……"

"Xia Jinting, you have to make trouble, okay, I..." Jiang Kuan's voice was hoarse.

When counting to one, Xia Jinting raised his shotgun.

"Give me the engagement contract, or I'll shoot you." Xia Jinting's tone was still calm.

Facing the black muzzle of the gun, Jiang Kuan stopped arguing and put his hand inside his clothes.

But he stretched his hand halfway, and he stopped again: "Xia Jinting, you don't know how to shoot, you dare not shoot this one."

This point is Jiang Kuan's conclusion through observation. Today's fox hunting, Xia Jinting failed to catch anything, and he never fired a gun at all.

"Don't dare?" Xia Jinting raised his eyebrows, only to hear a "bang", and the bullet flew out of the barrel.

Jiang Kuan trembled all over, staring at Xia Jinting in disbelief.

The bullet did not hit Jiang Kuan, but Jiang Kuan was really scared.

"Crazy, Xia Jinting, you are crazy!" Jiang Kuan yelled, looking at Gu Que who was at the side, "Aren't you going to stop him?!"

Gu Que remained calm: "Why do you want to stop?"

Jiang Kuan was speechless, raised his hand and threw the engagement contract towards Xia Jinting: "Here you are! Take it!"

Xia Jinting picked up the engagement contract, and after confirming that it was correct, he raised his hand and tore it up.

Confetti fell down between his fingers, and his relationship with Jiang Kuan came to an end.

Xia Jinting let out a long breath, and said with a blank face: "I will see the announcement of the divorce in the newspaper within three days. We agreed to divorce, and we will not owe each other and have nothing to do with each other. Mr. Gu is here, just to be a witness."

How could Jiang Kuan dare to provoke Xia Jinting at this juncture, he quickly agreed, and when he left, he was also full of panic.

Xia Jinting looked at the shotgun in his hand, and said mockingly: "After so many detours and detours, I didn't expect to solve it with a single gun."

From the moment he pointed the gun at Jiang Kuan, he and the Jiang family were completely torn apart.

Right now Jiang Kuan was frightened, and when he regained his strength, he might decide how to take private revenge, but now Xia Jinting couldn't care about anything, he just wanted to find a bed and have a good rest for a while.

The one that came out just now exhausted his vitality.
