The Xiaohua Hall of the governor's house was full of guests, including well-dressed ladies and handsome young ladies. It was quite lively.
"If it were in the previous dynasty, whose concubine could be so ostentatious?" Gu Xiang whispered to Gu Ying quietly, "the world has changed!"
Gu Ying nodded.
Gu Xiang was so old-fashioned that he was nothing more than jealousy. A concubine in the governor's house was stronger than them.
In the future, if they become wives, they may not have such style!
The sisters sat, looking around for prey, and found several handsome CHILDES looking at them.
Especially Gu Xiang.
Gu Xiang's face flushed slightly and paid attention to it secretly.
Then Gu Xiang saw Gu Qingzhou and his fifth aunt come in together.
The fifth aunt is not a beautiful woman. She is as gentle as jade, elegant and quiet.
Compared with the fifth aunt, Gu Qingzhou is a little beautiful. The brilliant light of the crystal lamp falls on the bottom of her eyes, and her bright eyes reflect the lights. Her own brilliance flows and is particularly bright.
At such a glance, Gu Qingzhou is a charming beauty.
I don't know whether it's the light or she's grown up.
"Who is that?" Someone asked quietly, yearning for Gu Qingzhou's bearing.
None of the guests present had attended the dance party held by the governor's office for Gu Qingzhou last time, so they didn't know each other. They just said, "is it a relative of the fifth aunt?"
"The fifth aunt's relative, perhaps a poor lady?" There was a upstart man thinking in his heart.
We all know that the fifth aunt is too poor.
Since she is a young lady from a poor family, she can pursue to be an aunt. It is a romantic story.
Some people have ripples in their hearts.
When the fifth aunt came in, the banquet officially began.
Tonight's banquet is old-fashioned. It mainly focuses on eating and drinking. There are people singing Pingtan on the stage. They are squeaky.
The dishes are rich, but people still think there is something missing.
Why should we let them dance, drink and exchange feelings? Otherwise, they won't come in vain?
After the banquet, as expected, the table was removed, and only a long table with drinks and snacks was placed around the flower hall.
The Pingtan artists also went down and came to a White Russian band.
Even if the ball starts.
Gu Qingzhou stood by the window in the southwest corner, silently holding a wine lamp.
She deliberately kept an eye on what was going on outside.
She was asked to dance, and she refused.
"Miss, let's have a dance." A middle-aged man, who was refused, still didn't give up, licked his face and said.
Gu Qingzhou's eyes were slightly heavy, and he whispered with a smile, "do you know who I am?"
Her eyes were gloomy and looked like Si Xingpei. This was what she learned from Si Xingpei.
"Go away, or someone will kill you." Gu Qingzhou said coldly.
The man was a little frightened by her and went away with lust and courage.
The fifth aunt was surrounded by her relatives too early and didn't have time to accompany Gu Qingzhou.
"... sister Gu, why don't you dance?" Si qiongzhi took a man's arm and walked towards Gu Qingzhou.
She introduced the man, "this is song sanshao."
Then she said to childe Qu, "three little girls, please take care of your sister to dance."
"No." Gu Qingzhou's eyes are quiet, but a few wisps of cold light suddenly appear and fall on Qu sanshao.
Childe Qu knew the current affairs very well. Knowing that Gu Qingzhou didn't like him, he smiled and walked away.
When Si qiongzhi was about to leave, Gu Qingzhou held her hand: "qiongzhi, let's talk for a while."
She took Si qiongzhi and stood under the windowsill of the flower hall. The two talked.
Si qiongzhi was confused. Perhaps considering that she was going to get rid of her later, Si qiongzhi was in a good mood and was particularly patient with Gu Qingzhou.
The watch with gold inlaid on it is very expensive, especially the watch with gold inlaid on it.
Si qiongzhi was in a better mood.
"This winter comes very early." Gu Qingzhou exchanged greetings with Si qiongzhi. "I didn't expect such a heavy rain. It was bitterly cold."
Si qiongzhi didn't feel cold. She echoed Gu Qingzhou's words.
Gu Qingzhou is full of such nonsense. Sometimes he says that the rain is very cold, and sometimes he says that today's fish soup is too thick to drink.
When Si qiongzhi wanted to leave, Gu Qingzhou took her arm: "qiongzhi, do you know which tailor shop has a good cheongsam?"
Si qiongzhi didn't want her to see the clue, so he endured and greeted her one by one.
"All I know is that there is a shop where cheongsam is well made." Si qiongzhi road.
Gu Qingzhou listens to Si qiongzhi and secretly pays attention to the movement outside.
She heard the footsteps first, far away, but in a hurry.
Gu Qingzhou put his hand behind his back, gently took off the watch chain, took it down and put it in his hand.
Si qiongzhi is still answering Gu Qingzhou's question: "... The material must be crisp, so embroidery is the most test of master's ability..."
As she spoke, Gu Qingzhou suddenly took her hand.
Si qiongzhi was slightly surprised. At the same time, she also heard footsteps. She was overjoyed: "Abba is coming!"
The footsteps were numerous and complicated, and came to the flower hall.
When Si qiongzhi was distracted, Gu Qingzhou put the watch on Si qiongzhi's wrist and fastened the watch chain!
"What are you doing!" Si qiongzhi was shocked.
She never thought that Gu Qingzhou would be so aboveboard and wear her watch on her hand.
This watch can't be worn!
Si qiongzhi was half dead with anger. She was wary of Gu Qingzhou's conspiracy, but she didn't expect Gu Qingzhou to come directly to plot against Si qiongzhi.
Si qiongzhi was surprised and confused. Her wrist was a little plump than Gu Qingzhou's wrist. The strap stuck. She untied it for a long time, but the buckle didn't untie.
"This bitch, how can she do this? Why doesn't she play tricks!" Si qiongzhi is about to cry.
She even calculated that Gu Qingzhou would suspect that there was a problem with the watch, and then calculated how Gu Qingzhou would deal with the watch.
Si qiongzhi has all the coping methods. She will make Gu Qingzhou unable to explain clearly.
However, the only thing she didn't calculate was that Gu Qingzhou was so blatant and directly wearing it on Si qiongzhi's wrist!
Such simplicity and rudeness disrupted Si qiongzhi's plans, and Si qiongzhi was completely flustered.
And the governor has stepped into the flower hall.
The flower hall was silent, and everyone was surprised to look at the supervisor.
Si qiongzhi lowered his head and untied his watch strap hard, which was particularly eye-catching and fell into the eyes of the supervisor.
When the superintendent saw the watch, his eagerness and anxiety dissipated. His heart fell to the ground, and he winked at the adjutant.
When the adjutant walked to Si qiongzhi, the supervisor said with a loud smile, "it's very lively. It's good for everyone to celebrate the fifth aunt's birthday."
His laughter relieved the pent up atmosphere in the room.
At the same time, two adjutants have taken Si qiongzhi away from the side door.
The fifth aunt was so confused that she wanted to see what was going on, and she was stunned for fear of causing the doubt of the guests.
"What the hell happened?" The fifth aunt is too foggy.
The supervisor went to his aunt. The adjutant took out a brocade box and handed it to her: "happy birthday."
So the guests thought that the governor came in a hurry to celebrate his aunt's birthday.
The fifth aunt took over the brocade box, smiled brightly and said, "the supervisor has a heart."
After a few words, the fifth aunt said to the guests, "don't be stunned when you dance."
When the atmosphere rose, the fifth aunt accompanied the supervisor and left from the side door of the flower hall. Her maid XiuXiu and Gu Qingzhou also left.
Until the end, the fifth aunt didn't come back.
The guests left the governor's house full of doubts.
Gu Xiang and his sisters also talked and laughed with the two CHILDES. The other party even offered to send them back, but Gu Xiang didn't promise.
"Elder sister, why don't you promise?" Gu Ying doesn't quite understand. She thinks Gu Xiang is missing a good opportunity.
Gu Xiang poked her forehead: "you're stupid, celebrities should be reserved! You're too casual, others won't take you seriously!"
Gu Ying seems to know but not understand.
Then Gu Ying asked, "sister, where's Gu Qingzhou? She seems to have gone with her fifth aunt. Don't we wait for her to go home?"
"What are you waiting for her for?" Gu Xiang was angry. "She will be a member of the Secretary's family in the future. How can she remember us?"
Their sisters left and the guests left one after another. No one thought that something big was happening in the study not far away.
More than a dozen personal attendants were closely guarded. The supervisor sat alone in the side hall of the study. Si qiongzhi, Gu Qingzhou and others stood opposite him.
The governor's face was quiet, and his eyes looked like a deep pool without waves. The lamp in the study put a thin layer of light on his face, making his silence look solemn and dignified.
He looked at a watch silently.
This watch was taken from Si qiongzhi's wrist when Si dujun saw it with his own eyes.
"...... Abba, it's true. Sister Gu suddenly put it on my hand. It's not mine!" Si qiongzhi explained that he looked very anxious.
The superintendent did not speak.
The fifth aunt also saw the problem now.
This watch is unusual.
This was bought for her by her maid XiuXiu, who said it was a thanks to Gu Qingzhou. It was XiuXiu's idea to send something to thank Gu Qingzhou.
The fifth aunt was too silent, and her eyes turned back and forth on the faces of Si qiongzhi and Si dujun.
"Canoe, this watch, where did you come from?" After a long time, the supervisor finally raised his eyes, and the light reflected on the bottom of his eyes, which was soft.
"It's not mine, it's miss three's." Gu Qingzhou said, "I can't afford such a watch."
The fifth aunt's heart turned too fast.
Although she didn't understand why Gu Qingzhou said so, Gu Qingzhou refused to admit it, which showed that there was a real problem with the watch.
The fifth aunt thought too much that XiuXiu bought the watch, and XiuXiu specially led her and Gu Qingzhou to the outer study. XiuXiu sprained her feet and exclaimed, deliberately alerting the adjutant to let the adjutant see them passing by.
Everything shows that there is a conspiracy!
Although the fifth aunt didn't know why XiuXiu was involved, she couldn't believe that XiuXiu would betray her, at this moment, the fifth aunt was too decisive and had an idea.
"Dad, this is not mine!" Si qiongzhi's haste has converged, with some helplessness. "It's really sister Gu. She's wearing it on my hand. I'm still confused now."
At this time, XiuXiu, the maid of the fifth aunt, said, "supervisor, this is Miss Gu's. it was given to Miss Gu by the fifth aunt herself. I was present and saw it with my own eyes."
