Chapter 124

Yuecheng in midsummer is like a stove. Everyone is baking in the stove and sweating all over.

The bright and golden sun decorated the world with splendor. Originally the most lovely and warm, it has now become annoying and hateful.

The Wutong tree outside the window of the boat is full of leaves. The broad leaves are always in the air. The little pieces of broken trees come in, and the balcony has a dry crack.

She is reading a letter.

He Wei wrote the letter. Every word is very serious and the strokes are neat.

He Wei said: "business is getting better and better. Abba is tired and thin in summer. I quit a tutor and concentrate on cutting medicine for Abba. I hired two helpers at home. Elder sister, do you remember amu, your fiance? Why don't you ever come to see us together?"

She said some trivial things and Gu Qingzhou smiled knowingly.

He Wei also secretly inquired about Gu Qingzhou and Si mu, and had some gossip.

Just a kid.

After reading the letter, Gu Qingzhou spread out his stationery and was ready to write back. When the phone rang downstairs.

Then Miaoer, the maid, went upstairs with light steps and knocked on Qingzhou's room: "Miss Qingzhou, I have your phone. It's Miss Yan."

Gu Qingzhou went downstairs to meet him.

The second aunt invited two friends to play mahjong in the side hall, accompanied by the third aunt and the fourth aunt. The third aunt sat on one side, and the fourth aunt relied too much on the third aunt to watch cards.

The three aunts of the family had a rare harmony before. Qin Zheng is temporarily in the state of half falling, so aunts and wives hold together to avoid being pulled into the water by Qin Zheng.

Gu Qingzhou looked at them and went to the telephone.

The microphone was put aside and Gu Qingzhou picked it up. Yan Luoshui's voice came from the microphone: "go out for dinner at night."

"Is there any good place to go?" Gu Qingzhou asked.

"Well, there is a newly opened hotel, which is a share of the military government. It is said that the Yuecheng restaurant is luxuriously decorated. In addition, there are dance halls and foreign wine.

There are not many guests tonight. The official opening will be tomorrow and the trial opening will be tonight. Dad may take some shares, and he and Muma will go too. " Yanluo waterway.

Gu Qingzhou smiled: "the adoptive father is back?"

Yan Luoshui said, "yes, I came back the night before yesterday. Can you go out at five o'clock? Xiao Wu and I will drive to pick you up."

"Five o'clock is OK." Gu Qingzhou road.

Hung up the phone and saw the second aunt playing mahjong over there. Gu Qingzhou came forward and whispered to the second aunt: "second wife, Miss Yan asked me to have dinner in the evening and may come back later. If you drink, you may not come back and go to Yan's house for a night."

"You may as well go and say hello to Mrs. Yan." The second aunt has a soft voice and is very open-minded. She doesn't ask much.

There was a lively fight on the card table. Gu Qingzhou said a word, so he didn't disturb them and went upstairs.

Looking back, I saw that my second aunt was wearing a royal blue embroidered cheongsam with gold border, with two curled grass bracelets inlaid with rubies.

The Yellow bracelet, pressed on the snow-white plump arm, became more and more dazzling, setting off the second aunt's eyes.

The second aunt is called "madam" again.

Compared with the last time's cautious, the second aunt is too much of a monk hitting the clock and doesn't take the title of "wife" seriously.

She was not afraid of making mistakes, so she took out the style of "wife", dressed in gold and silver, and asked her partner to touch cards at home. It was all the style of being a housewife.

The more she is like this, the more stabbing Qin Zheng is. Unexpectedly, Gu Guizhang is more satisfied.

Gu Guizhang loves luxury. Take care of the boat and look at them. They also take care of the boat.

At home, Gu Qingzhou is wearing a moon white bafu skirt with feet, and a slanted placket medium sleeve short shirt embroidered with golden thread and Begonia flowers in the same color. He is slim and looks like a light flower. When walking, his skirt is as light as a flower.

"Your young lady doesn't look like a girl raised in the countryside at all." Playing cards, a fat lady whispered to her second aunt.

The second aunt smiled: "light boat? She is the most promising in our family now."

"Is she the one who is engaged to the Secretary's family?"

"Isn't it?" The second aunt laughed.

"It's a good life. I'll see if I can beat your eldest lady!"

"This can't be compared!" Second aunt is so funny.

Gu Xiang and Gu Qingzhou? That's really flattering Gu Xiang.

But the lady didn't know it. She just thought Gu Xiang had stayed abroad and looked beautiful. She was far better than Gu Qingzhou. She immediately said, "you can't say that. Everyone's luck is different, although this is a little worse than the eldest lady..."

The third aunt playing cards at the same table laughed out with a puff.

As the wife of Zhengdong, Fang Chong and the fat wife Hu Pai, the topic completely changed from Gu Qingzhou to the card table, and everyone counted the money with a smile.

Gu Qingzhou returned to his room and began to write a letter.

Before writing a letter, Gu Qingzhou practiced writing for half an hour. The reason is that he Weiming secretly disliked Gu Qingzhou's bad writing last time.

After writing the reply, Gu Qingzhou pasted a stamp and asked the servant to send it to the post office.

As soon as four o'clock, she began to groom and dress up.

At 4:30, Gu Qingzhou went downstairs on time. The card table downstairs had been scattered. Everyone went back to their rooms. She was the only one sitting on the sofa, slowly flipping through the newspaper and waiting for Yan Luoshui and Yan Yiyuan.

Yan wushao's car arrived on time at five o'clock.

Gu Qingzhou got into the car.

"... what are you doing these days?" Yan Luoshui asked her, "don't call me either."

"I went to see a patient." Gu Qingzhou smiled.

She told Yan Luoshui everything about her and He Wei going to the Zhao family to see a doctor.

Gu Qingzhou was in a good mood, so he talked vividly, even exaggerated. Like a legend, Yan Luoshui's eyes were straight.

"So much fun?" Yan Luoshui grabbed her arm. "Next time you have such fun, you must take me!"

"Yes." Gu Qingzhou answered.

Yan wushao concentrated on driving, and from time to time, he turned back and said a few words. The car arrived at the hotel smoothly.

The newly opened hotel is luxuriously decorated. Before nightfall, it is full of lanterns. The red lights shine all over the hall. It is festive and lively.

It is a Chinese restaurant called "Yueda restaurant", which integrates Suzhou cuisine, Ningbo cuisine and Wuxi cuisine. It has thick oil and red sauce, colorful color and heavy sugar.

Several cars have been parked in front of the hotel.

There are not many cars, but they are all famous cars, and each license plate has its origin.

Two of them are not listed.

Gu Qingzhou is a little flustered.

In the whole Yuecheng City, those who dare not go out without listing are the vehicles of the military government.

Adoptive fathers are free to come to dinner, so will Si Xingpei return to the city?

In that compartment, Yan wushao parked the car, and Gu Qingzhou and Yan Luoshui stepped into the gate of Yueda restaurant.

High threshold, vermilion carved gate.

The whole hall is very wide and divided into twelve tables. Between the two tables, there is a Juan embroidered eight screens with a rosewood base. The landscape on the screen is a small village in the south of the Yangtze River, with green paths and pink peaches and plums.

On the front high platform, the famous Suzhou Pingtan master was invited. The string PA is Congzheng, light and delicate, and the singing is melodious and moving.

There are several tables in the hall. Yan Xinnong and Mrs. Yan sit in the inner room in the West.

"Mom, adoptive father." Gu Qingzhou stepped forward.

"Come and sit beside me." Mrs. Yan pulled Gu's boat and asked her to sit down first.

Gu Qingzhou sat down as he said.

Looking around, Gu Qingzhou asked Yan Luoshui, "where's the agreed dance hall?"

Yan Luoshui pointed to the door next to him and said with a smile, "it's over there. Go back and play."

Gu Qingzhou stopped talking.

When everyone arrived, Yan Xinnong ordered.

After the dish was served, a straw circle was cooked soft and fresh. Gu Qingzhou stared at the dish.

"Uncle Yan." Then she heard the voice of Si Xingyu.

The mouth circle had not been chewed, and it immediately got stuck in her throat. She was a little out of breath.

Thinking of the misunderstanding last time, Gu Qingzhou looked cold and silently drank the plum juice at hand.

The cold, sour and sweet plum juice flowed slowly in the throat, and finally brought down the stalemate food.

The lights of the food club were beautiful and dim. Gu Qingzhou lowered his eyes and silently looked at the chopsticks in front of him without looking up.

"Oh, you're here, too?" Yan Xinnong got up with a smile.

"Yes, I heard it's open today. Let's have a look." Si Xingpei said, "aunt looks much better than before."

Mrs. Yan smiled: "Young Marshal, good words."

Then, Si Xingpei also greeted Yan Luoshui and Yan Yiyuan.

"Canoe?" Si Xingpei said in a tone like greeting a stranger.

Gu Qingzhou raised his eyes and called for the Young Marshal.

"Aren't you handsome, young brother?" The secretary is joking.

Pooh!

Gu Qingzhou lowered his eyes again and didn't speak.

The Secretary said hello and left. He sat at the table next door.

Gu Qingzhou's remaining light glances past. Through the thin Juan embroidery screen, you can see his tall and strong back, leaning diagonally against the carved wooden chair.

Beside him, a thin figure was giggling.

Gu Qingzhou had no ripples in her heart. She ate silently and didn't want to say a word.

Later, Yan wushao had to go to the dance hall next door to get some foreign wine to drink. Yan Luoshui accompanied him, mainly watching him and forbidding him to get drunk.

Gu Qingzhou dropped the order.

She was a little bored and went to the bathroom.

In Chinese restaurants, lanterns are covered outside the electric lights, and the light is indifferent.

When she came out, she saw Si Xingpeng smoking against the wall, cigars and orange sparks flickering, making his deep eyes a little cold.

When Gu Qingzhou passed by, he grabbed her arm and said, "go back with me."

He has cigars and cool perfume.

Gu Qingzhou feels sick.

"I'll tell my adoptive father and adoptive mother that if they agree, I'll go with you." She was cold and cold in her eyes.

The secretary put his arms around her waist.

And Si Xingyu's girlfriend, who has come out of the bathroom, is a fashionable girl, dressed beautifully and without losing her bearing.

Seeing Gu Qingzhou in Si Xingpei's arms, the girl was stunned. Then a layer of mist floated in her beautiful eyes. She bit her lips tightly and was pitiful with pear flowers and rain.

"Young Marshal, I'll go first." Cried the girl.

She quit without questioning or fighting.
