The man sat astride a tall horse, which appeared to be of remarkable breed. Although Bai Ruozhu was unable to properly judge the quality of a horse, she compared it with the one pulling the Du Family's carriage. Clearly, the rider's black horse was more imposing and larger.
Held neat and tidy atop his head, his hair was not fastened with a jade-inlaid tie like Du Zhongshu's, but restrained simply by a plain hair tie, giving him a particularly clean-cut appearance.
The blue clothing he wore resembled that of a warrior, lacking the straight-cut aesthetic of a scholar or the light, casual attire of a manor's household. Both his sleeves and pant legs were bound for ease of movement, but the fabric seemed to be of considerable value.
Being a modern person, Bai Ruozhu was no expert in the ancient attire but she believed this man made his seemingly ordinary outfit look remarkably well. His cold facial expression, however, added a sharp edge to him.
