Chapter 172 (1/2)
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.
