Chapter 71 (1/2)
Qin Zheng has woven a beautiful dream.
She is rehearsing a big play.
How can you be frugal when you sing a big play?
She spent a lot of money and was a little distressed afterwards.
”Don't feel sad. The money will pay off.” Qin Zheng comforts himself.
Rao was so sad that she couldn't breathe freely.
The family's banquet has never been so luxurious. It's really cost money this time.
Not only Qin Zheng, but also Gu Guizhang.
”Are you ready?” Gu Guizhang repeatedly asked, ”take out the wine and whisky at home!”
”Don't worry, sir. Everything is ready.” Qin Zheng smiles gently.
The second aunt whispered too: ”it's great to take care of the family. I'll see you for the first time for such luxury and extravagance.”
”What do you know? It's a big deal.” Qin Zheng gave her a cold look. ”Don't attend tonight.”
The second aunt was so that she almost jumped up.
To be honest, my second aunt hasn't eaten any delicacies, and she's ready tonight. She wants to try it anyway.
”Master!” The second aunt is too coquettish with Gu Guizhang.
Gu Guizhang was in a good mood and said, ”today's wife is talking!”
Second aunt is too angry.
Gu Qingzhou did not go downstairs for breakfast.
Of course, no one remembers her.
Gu residence is very lively. There are Qin Zheng and her three daughters talking upstairs and downstairs, like a graceful oriole.
Gu Qingzhou didn't go downstairs.
The aqua blue curtains in her room were half hung on gold-plated hooks. The setting sun was shining through the glass window, and the curtain hook was glittering with gold.
Gu Qingzhou leaned against the railing and looked at the spring scenery ahead with quiet eyes.
The third aunt brought her a cake and a cup of milk.
”... have some. You haven't been downstairs all day.” Third aunt Taidao.
Gu Qingzhou thanked him, picked him up and returned to the house from the balcony.
The third aunt helped her close the balcony door with her backhand.
This is a private conversation with her.
”For the first time in so many years, the Yan family is so extravagant and luxurious. The Yan family is a distinguished guest and should be so.” The third aunt lowered her voice too low and said to Gu Qingzhou, ”but the Yan family is your adoptive father and adoptive mother. My wife is so enthusiastic. I always feel that she is plotting against the law. You should be careful.”
”Yes.” Gu Qingzhou ate a mouthful of cake. It was mellow and sweet from his mouth to his heart. He answered vaguely.
The third aunt saw that she didn't take things seriously, and her voice was lower: ”you know, my wife bought triple and double abalone, which really cost money. She's willing to spend money like this. There must be a conspiracy.”
”I know.” Gu Qingzhou swallowed a mouthful of cake in a soft, inaudible voice.
The third aunt nodded: ”you should be careful. I think my wife may have some bad tricks against you.”
”She meant to hurt me.” Gu Qingzhou smiles.
The third aunt was too worried: ”since you know, how can you wait to die?”
She felt that Gu Qingzhou should do something to avoid being hurt by Qin Zheng.
”How do you know I have no plans?” Gu Qingzhou smiled with a little cream on his lips, revealing the girl's simplicity. He raised his eyes and asked the third aunt, ”I've been back for so long. When has my wife's plot been useful to me?”
Her eyes are bright and clear, against the glow of the window, and her pink and tender cheeks are like peach petals in full bloom in the courtyard.
Her calmness somehow calmed the third aunt.
Gu Qingzhou has been back for several months. He fought with Qin Zheng for wisdom and courage for so long. When did Gu Qingzhou lose?
The third aunt laughed: ”if I care, I will be in chaos. Miss Qingzhou must have a good plan.”
Gu Qingzhou smiled and slowly ate the cake and milk.
”Watch the play well and clap your hands when it's wonderful.” Gu Qingzhou said to the third aunt, ”this play cost a quarter of the price of Gu residence. It's so expensive. How can you afford your wife if you don't take it seriously?”
The third aunt pursed her lips too much.
There are also thoughts and jokes, indicating that Gu Qingzhou has a chance of winning.
”Then I'll have a good time. I made three king crabs at home. I have to steal one back to my room. Do you want me to steal one for you?” The third aunt joked too much.
”Good.” Gu Qingzhou smiles.
The smile is too bright, burning and beautiful like a stack of brocade. The third aunt sighed in her heart: Miss Qingzhou's eyebrows may be plain, but it's beautiful to smile.
Gu Qingzhou's smile is always leisurely.
The third aunt was so flustered that she completely comforted her and lightened her mood.
At five o'clock, Gu Wei called Yan residence.
It was Yan Luoshui who answered the phone.
”Sister Yan, when will you arrive?” Gu Wei asked.
”At seven o'clock, it will be on time.” Yan Luoshui smiled.
Gu Wei told Gu Guizhang this.
Gu Guizhang changed his best suit and sat in the living room drinking tea. He was very excited and happy.
The gramophone at home put the old film, and the squeaky soft voice came out, which was very beautiful.
Gu Qingzhou also went downstairs.
She wore a green cheongsam embroidered with white plum stakes, with a middle sleeve Yuanbao placket, revealing half of her slender and white arms, and a pure white long tassel shawl around her shoulders.
