Chapter 171

As Gu Qingzhou guessed, the good play of the governor's house came.

Gu Qingzhou had dinner and was about to go upstairs to have a rest when he received a call from his fifth aunt taihuayan.

"Miss Gu, I want to thank you for curing my illness. Tomorrow evening, please come to the governor's house for a dinner. It's a family dinner. It happens to be my birthday." Fifth aunt Taidao.

Gu Qingzhou thought, all this is a little clever.

To cure the fifth aunt, Si qiongzhi was good at guiding her from the beginning.

I'm afraid this birthday party is also Si qiongzhi's meaning, which is to invite Gu Qingzhou to the governor's house.

"Well, I wish you a happy birthday first." Gu Qingzhou road.

This old-fashioned blessing made the fifth aunt laugh too much.

After hanging up, Gu Qingzhou went back to his room.

However, Gu Xiang and Gu Ying heard the content of her phone and their eyes turned sharply.

"Muma, Gu Qingzhou is going to the governor's house again." Gu Xiang's silver teeth are broken.

Last time, the second son of the mayor's family invited Gu Xiang to see a movie, but there was no following.

Gu Xiang was very angry. He deliberately started the Wei family twice and didn't meet the second childe.

This matter hangs in Gu Xiang's heart.

She thought that she should make two preparations and go to the company's house more. Maybe she could strengthen other dignitaries. Even if you put a little pressure on Mr. Wei, let him pursue more actively.

"Mom, I'm sure there are a lot of distinguished guests." Gu Xiang Road.

Gu Ying also said, "Mom, I'm going too!"

The two of them cling to Qin Zheng.

If it is normal, Qin Zheng dare not promise. Gu Qingzhou is too cunning.

But now, the old lady lives in Gu residence. It's easy for her to hold Gu's boat.

"OK, mummy, arrange it." Qin Zheng smiled.

Qin Zheng calmed her daughter and turned to find the old lady.

On Saturday morning, there was a light rain. The drizzle was misty, which made it cold in winter. Gu Qingzhou changed his cotton cheongsam.

The leaves of the Wutong tree outside her window have fallen off, and the branches are bare and bathed in the drizzle.

Gu Qingzhou went downstairs to have breakfast. The old lady asked her majestically, "I heard you're going to the governor's house to attend what ball?"

"It's not a dance, it's just the fifth aunt's birthday party." Gu Qingzhou road.

The old lady was immediately angry: "it's not proper! What aunt, it's just a concubine! You'll be the second young grandmother in the future. Won't you make people laugh when you go to the banquet in the concubine room?"

If so, fifty years ago.

The old lady's words are not bad.

But now the world is different. The set of wives and concubines is completely different and has long disappeared.

So many old-fashioned people can't accept the atmosphere of the new era.

Gu Qingzhou doesn't want to be too friendly with her fifth aunt. She just wants to take the back move of Si qiongzhi so that she won't do it again next time.

"It's the governor's office. If you don't want me to go, I won't go." Gu Qingzhou has gentle eyebrows and eyes and speaks softly.

Gu Guizhang heard it nearby, frowned and said to Gu Qingzhou, "how can you not go? Break your promise to others, how will you be a man in the future?"

Then Gu Guizhang said impatiently to the old lady, "mummy, the new era is coming. What wives and concubines! If the concubines in the governor's house were in the previous dynasty, that is, the imperial concubine, this face would not be given, and your son would not have to be an official in the future!"

The governor's house is in Yuecheng, which can indeed be compared to a small imperial court.

The aunt and wife of the Si family are more noble than the normal wife of ordinary people. Gu Guizhang compares the wife and concubine of the Si family with "Queen" and "imperial concubine", which is a bit exaggerated, but it is also very correct.

"You flatter them too much! A group of soldiers will be finished sooner or later!" Said the old lady.

The old lady lost her temper and Gu Guizhang coaxed her. Gu Qingzhou ate her breakfast slowly.

Compared with the old lady's choice of three or four all day, Gu Qingzhou's gentle and quiet attitude sets off the old lady even more ferocious and vulgar.

Gu Guizhang is afraid of his mother and dislikes her. His feelings for her are very complex.

"... she can't go alone. The young girl doesn't look like she has no company." Said the old lady.

The main purpose was revealed.

"Let Xiang Xiang and Ying Ying accompany her." The old lady said, "no one supports you when you go out, and you don't have the respect of big ladies."

Gu Guizhang thought it was good.

Gu Qingzhou knew in her heart that there was a good play tonight. If she could be accompanied by more than one person, she could pull people into the water at will. She didn't mind.

"Don't the eldest and fourth ladies dislike that the fifth aunt is too concubine and has a low status?" Gu Qingzhou asked with a smile.

Gu Xiang said, "don't be ignorant. That's the concubine room of the governor's house. It's much more noble than you."

Gu Qingzhou raised his eyebrows.

She agreed to take Gu Xiang and Gu Ying. The two sisters had breakfast and bought clothes.

The third aunt is too unbalanced about this: "light boat, they take advantage of you!"

"Is cheap so easy to take?" Gu Qingzhou said with a smile, "they don't have a good memory, and I can't help it."

The third aunt is too laughing.

At the same time, the third aunt complained that the old lady was always picky recently and that her clothes were not dignified enough.

"I'm young and old. What do I do?" The third aunt said, "this old lady, when will she leave?"

Gu Qingzhou smiles.

She thought that the old lady was leaving soon.

If Gu Qingzhou had not been injured and recuperated for many days, she would have dealt with it.

The injury was just right, and it was the governor's house. Gu Qingzhou had to polish it one by one, and let the old lady be arrogant for a few more days.

In the afternoon, she reviewed her homework in her room and did an afternoon's arithmetic project. She didn't go downstairs until 4:30.

And Gu Xiang and Gu Ying, already dressed up, are waiting to start.

Gu Xiang is a black dress with a dark black British Wind cloak; Gu Ying was wearing a light pink cheongsam and a wind cloak with pure white cashmere piping.

The sisters wore light make-up and made their hair. Their eyes were covered by thick bangs. Behind them were curly hair. They were fashionable and beautiful.

Compared with them, Gu Qingzhou's dress is nothing new. She is still those clothes she wears and simple hair.

The fifth aunt is too busy for her birthday. There is only a small flower hall with four or five tables. They are all her relatives and friends.

Of course Mrs. Si won't come.

All the concubines attended the meeting.

Si qiongzhi was also present.

Seeing Gu Xiang and Gu Ying, Si qiongzhi was slightly stunned, but felt funny.

"Gu Jia really spared no effort to take advantage!" Si qiongzhi smiled softly.

She was wearing a long snow dress with a pearl comb. The Pearl warm light reflected her face and added brilliance to her skin.

"Sister Gu." Si qiongzhi stepped forward and greeted Gu Qingzhou with a gentle attitude, but he could not see a crack at all.

Gu Qingzhou smiled: "miss qiongzhi is so beautiful tonight!"

When am I not beautiful?

Si qiongzhi couldn't hear the praise and despised the way in his heart.

As they talked, they didn't see the fifth aunt.

In the banquet flower hall, in addition to the relatives and friends of the fifth aunt, some upstarts in Yuecheng came to curry favor with the aunt.

The expensive atmosphere in the flower hall is a little heavy and tacky.

XiuXiu, a confidant maid of the fifth aunt, came up to Gu Qingzhou and said, "Miss Qingzhou, please speak in her room."

Gu Qingzhou nodded and went to Aunt Wu's room.

The fifth aunt is still making up.

Her hair had not been curled up, but scattered over her slender shoulders, setting off her slender neck.

"... canoe, thank you for coming." The fifth aunt was a little nervous, "my first birthday."

"Really?" Gu Qingzhou thought a little.

The fifth aunt nodded too much: "it used to be, but this time it was the lady and miss qiongzhi who said that I was wronged and asked the governor to help me celebrate my birthday and comfort me."

Gu Qingzhou smiled.

As she spoke, she got up and handed a watch to Gu Qingzhou: "you treated me and gave you money. It seems that you treated you lightly. This watch is a thank you."

Gu Qingzhou took it in his hand.

She looked a few times and then said to her fifth aunt, "I'll go to the bathroom."

The fifth aunt pointed too far to the left: "just go out."

Gu Qingzhou went to the bathroom and took his watch apart.

Watches imported from Switzerland are exquisitely made.

With the help of lights, Gu Qingzhou poked the silver needle in his hairpin and finally found something unusual in his watch.

She packed her watch.

When she came out of the bathroom, the fifth aunt saw Gu Qingzhou wearing her watch on her wrist.

The fifth aunt was too happy and said with a smile, "this watch looks good with you."

Her gift is valuable. She's in a good mood.

Gu Qingzhou said, "if you don't mind, I'll set it for you."

The fifth aunt looked at the boat's hair too much. It was loose but not messy. There were several wisps hanging obliquely around the snow-white neck. It seemed that she was careless and had an idea. It was very beautiful.

"OK." Fifth aunt Taidao.

So Gu Qingzhou helped aunt Wu tie her hair. Her fingers flipped and took shape in a moment.

Dressed up, when they went to the flower hall, XiuXiu, their maid, suddenly said, "aunt, the path in front seems to be flooded. Don't wet your shoes. Let's go around from the West."

Go around from the West and pass the outer study of the governor.

The fifth aunt didn't think much. Gu Qingzhou's eyes were quiet and went with the fifth aunt and XiuXiu.

When she got to the back door of the outer study, XiuXiu suddenly sprained her foot. She cried out, "Ouch!"

"Who!" In the dark, there was the sound of gun loading.

The fifth aunt is too ignorant.

Gu Qingzhou quickly answered, "it's the fifth aunt!"

An adjutant under the eaves of the study came out. He was wearing a military leather raincoat and carrying a heavy gun. He saluted the fifth aunt too, and then said, "the fifth aunt too, the supervisor is not at home today. You can't get close to the outside study."

"I'm not going to the study. I'm going round to the flower hall." Fifth aunt Taidao.

Three women walked quickly around.

After walking a few steps, she was farther and farther away from the outer study. The fifth aunt looked back at the outer study and thought, "the outer study is heavily guarded tonight. There must be something very important that is afraid of being stolen."

At this time, the wife offered to hold her birthday and get so many guests back. In case of a mistake

The fifth aunt's heart beats too much. She always feels that something will happen.

"Did the lady do it on purpose?" The fifth aunt thought too much. "Set me up?"

She was more nervous and went to the flower hall.

The fifth aunt, Taihe XiuXiu, looked a little changed. Only Gu Qingzhou was leisurely and leisurely, and entered the flower hall.
