As Gu Qingzhou guessed, the good play of the governor's office came.
Gu Qingzhou had dinner and was about to go upstairs to have a rest when he received a call from Aunt Wu Huayan.
"Miss Gu, thank you for your treatment. Tomorrow evening, please go to the governor's office for dinner. It's a family dinner. It happens to be my birthday. " Five aunt too way.
Gu Qingzhou thought, it's all a little clever.
To cure aunt Wu, she was guided by siqiongzhi from the beginning.
I'm afraid that this birthday feast is also the meaning of Si qiongzhi, that is to invite Gu Qingzhou to the governor's office.
"Well, first of all, I wish you longevity." Gu Qingzhou road.
This kind of old-fashioned blessing made aunt Wu laugh too much.
Hang up the phone and go back to the house.
Just, Gu Xiang and Gu Ying heard the content of her phone call, and their eyes turned sharply.
"Muma, Gu Qingzhou is going to the governor's office again." Gu Xiang's silver teeth are broken.
Last time, the second childe of the mayor's family invited Gu Xiang to see a movie, but there was no following.
Gu Xiang is very angry. He has deliberately set up the Wei family twice, but has not met the second childe.
This matter hangs in Gu Xiang's heart.
She thinks, should make two hands to prepare, go to Division home more, perhaps can firm other dignitaries. Even if give Mr. Wei a little pressure, let him more active pursuit.
"It's said that it's a banquet. I'm sure there are many VIPs. Mum, I'd like to go too." Gu Tao.
Gu Ying also said: "Muma, I will go too!"
The two of them cling to the zither.
If it's normal, guqingzhou is too cunning.
But now, the old lady lives in Gu mansion. It's easy for her to take care of the boat.
"OK, mom. I'll arrange it." Qin Zheng said with a smile.
Qin Zheng appeased her daughter and turned to find the old lady.
Saturday morning, it began to rain, drizzle hazy, there is the chill of winter, Gu Qingzhou changed a set of cheongsam with cotton.
The leaves of sycamore outside her window have gone, and the twigs are bare and bathed in the drizzle.
Gu Qingzhou went downstairs to have breakfast. The old lady asked her majestically, "I heard that what dance are you going to go to the governor's mansion?"
"It's not a dance. It's just aunt Wu's birthday party." Gu Qingzhou road.
The old lady immediately got angry: "it's not proper! What aunt, that's just a concubine! In the future, you will be, at least, the second youngest grandmother. Isn't it funny to go to the banquet in the concubine's room? "
If it had been fifty years ahead, it would have been so.
That's not bad for the old lady.
But now the way of life is different. The wife and concubine's set is very different. It's long gone.
So many old-fashioned people can't accept the new era.
Gu Qingzhou doesn't want to make friends with aunt Wu. She just wants to take the back move of Si qiongzhi, so that she won't do it again.
"It's from the governor's office. If you don't want me to go, I won't go." Gu Qingzhou's eyes and eyebrows are gentle, and his speech is soft and gentle.
Gu Guizhang heard it nearby, frowning at Gu Qingzhou and said, "how can we not go? How do you behave in the future when you are dishonest? "
Then Gu Guizhang said to the old lady impatiently, "mummy, what wife and concubine are you in the new era! If the concubines of the governor's office were in the former dynasty, that is, the emperor and the concubines, they would not be given this face, and your son's officials would not have to do it in the future! "
The governor's office is in Yuecheng, which can be compared to a small court.
Gu Guizhang used "empress" and "Concubine" to describe his wife and concubine, which is a bit exaggerated, but also very correct.
"You are so proud of them! A group of soldiers will finish sooner or later! " Said the old lady.
The old lady lost her temper and Gu Guizhang coaxed her. Gu Qingzhou finished her breakfast slowly.
Compared with the old lady's choice of three or four all day, she was gentle and quiet in her attitude, which set off the old lady more shrewdly and vulgar.
Gu Guizhang was afraid of his mother and disliked her. His feelings for her were complicated.
"... she can't go alone. The young girl doesn't have company. She doesn't look like that." Said the old lady.
The main purpose was revealed.
"Let Xiang and Yingying accompany her." The old lady said, "there is no support for going out, no respect from big ladies."
Gu Guizhang thought it was pretty good.
Gu Qingzhou knows that there is a good play tonight. If she can be accompanied by more than one person, she can pull people into the water at will. She doesn't mind.
"The eldest lady and the fourth lady will not dislike the fact that the fifth aunt is too concubine. Is she in a low position?" Gu Qingzhou laughs at Yingying's rhetorical question.
Gu Xiang said, "don't be ignorant. It's the concubine's room of the governor's mansion. It's more noble than you."
Gu picked his eyebrows.
She agreed to take Gu Xiang and Gu Ying. After breakfast, the two sisters bought clothes.
Third aunt too to this imbalance: "canoe, they take advantage of you!"
"Is cheap so easy to take?" Gu chuckled. "They don't have memory. I can't help it."
The third aunt is so sad.
At the same time, the third aunt complains that the old lady is always picky recently, and that her clothes are not dignified enough.
"I'm young. What do I do with my age?" Third aunt too way, "this old lady, when does she leave?"
Gu Qingzhou smiles.
The old lady was about to leave, she thought.
If Gu Qingzhou had not been injured for many days, she would have dealt with it.
The injury was just right. It was the matter of the governor's office. Gu Qingzhou had to be polished and let the old lady be arrogant for another few days.
In the afternoon, she reviewed her homework in her room, did an afternoon's math project, and didn't go downstairs until 4:30.
And Gu Xiang and Gu Ying are already dressed up and waiting to start.
Gu Xiang is a black dress, with a dark black British Wind cloak; Gu Ying is a light pink cheongsam, with a pure white cashmere fringed wind cloak on the outside.
Their sisters put on light make-up, made their hair, covered their eyes with thick bangs, followed by curly hair, which is fashionable and beautiful.
Compared with them, the dress of Gu Qingzhou is nothing new. She is still the clothes she wears, simple hair.
Five aunts too birthday, not busy, only a small flower hall, placed four or five tables, are five aunts too own relatives and friends.
Mrs. secretary will not come naturally.
But the younger generation of the Secretary's family all gave the common mother face and all attended.
So was siqiongzhi.
Seeing Gu Xiang and Gu Ying, Si qiongzhi was slightly shocked, but he felt funny.
"I really want to take advantage of my family!" Sijon Zhitian smiles softly.
She was wearing a long snow dress with a pearl comb. The Pearl's warm light reflected her face, and her skin added luster.
"Sister Gu." Siqiongzhi comes forward and greets Gu Qingzhou in a gentle manner. He doesn't see any gap at all.
Gu Qingzhou smiled: "miss qiongzhi is so beautiful tonight!"
What day am I not beautiful?
This words, division qiongzhi does not hear praise, in the heart disdain way.
They talked, but they didn't see Aunt Wu.
In the banquet hall, in addition to the relatives and friends of aunt Wu, there were also some upstarts in Yuecheng who came to ingratiate themselves with her.
The noble spirit in the flower hall is a little heavy and vulgar.
Aunt Wu's trusted maid XiuXiu came up to Gu Qingzhou and said, "Miss Qingzhou, please come to her room to talk."
Gu Qingzhou nodded and went to Aunt Wu's room.
Aunt Wu is still making up.
Her hair had not yet been curled up, and was scattered on her thin shoulders, which made her neck more slender.
"... boat, thank you for coming." "My first birthday," she said
"Is it?" Gu Qingzhou thinks a little.
"Aunt Wu nodded:" once upon a time, it was the madam and miss qiongzhi who said that I was wronged a little and asked the governor to help me celebrate my birthday and appease me
Gu chuckled.
As she spoke, she got up and handed a watch to Gu Qingzhou: "you treat me and treat you lightly. This watch is a thank you."
Gu takes the boat in his hand.
She looked at it a few times and then said to Aunt Wu, "I'll go to the bathroom."
Aunt Wu pointed to her left too much: "just go out."
Gu went to the bathroom and took his watch apart.
The watch imported from Switzerland is very exquisite.
Gu Qingzhou, with the help of lights and silver needles in his hairpin, finally found something unusual in his watch.
She fixed up her watch.
When she came out of the bathroom, aunt Wu could see that Gu Qingzhou had put her watch on her wrist.
Aunt Wu was very happy and said with a smile, "this watch looks good to you."
The gift she gave was valuable, and she was in a good mood.
Gu Qingzhou said, "if you don't mind, I'll help you to make an inventory."
Aunt Wu looked at the light boat's hair. It was loose but not messy. There were several strands of it hanging obliquely around the snow-white neck. It seemed that she was careless and had a good idea. It was very beautiful.
"Good." Five aunt too way.
So, Gu Qingzhou helped aunt Wu tie her hair too well. She flipped her fingers and they took shape in a moment.
Dressed up, when they went to the flower hall, their maid XiuXiu suddenly said: "Auntie, the path in front of them seems to be flooded. Don't wet your shoes. Let's go around from the West."
Go around from the west, and you will pass the outer study of the superintendent.
Aunt Wu didn't think too much, but Gu Qingzhou kept her eyes quiet and followed her to Taihe XiuXiu.
When she got to the back door of the study, XiuXiu suddenly sprained her foot. She cried out, "Ouch!"
"Who is it!" In the dark, there was the sound of guns loading.
Aunt Wu is too confused.
"It's aunt Wu!" Gu said quickly
An adjutant came out under the eaves of the study. He was wearing a military leather raincoat, carrying a heavy gun, and saluted aunt Wu. Then he said, "aunt Wu, the inspector is not at home today. You can't get close to the outside study."
"I don't go to the study. I'm going to the flower hall by the way." Five aunt too way.
Three women walked around quickly.
After a few steps, she went further and further away from the study outside. Looking back at the study outside her eyes, aunt Wu thought to herself, "tonight, the study outside is heavily guarded. There must be something very important. People are afraid to steal it."
At this time, my wife proposed to hold a birthday for her and make so many guests come back. In case of any accident...
aunt Wu's heart was beating, she always felt that something would happen.
"Did Madame mean it?" Aunt Wu thought too much. "Set me up?"
She was more uneasy and went to the flower hall.
Wuyi Taihe is pretty, and her looks have changed a little. Only Gu Qingzhou is carefree and self-sufficient, and enters the flower hall.
