Chapter 7 007
Qingxi doesn’t like wearing cheongsams very much, and always feels that cheongsams are more comfortable than wearing cheongsams.
But Mrs. Gu's birthday party invited almost all the ladies in Hangzhou. On such a grand occasion, a formal cheongsam was indispensable. In order to ensure that the granddaughter's first public appearance was enough to amazed everyone, Mrs. Xu specially invited the best tailor in Xiucheng to make two new cheongsams for Qingxi. Early in the morning, Mrs. Xu rushed over to supervise her granddaughter's dress.
"Okay, go and look in the mirror." Old Mrs. Xu carefully looked at it and said that she was honored to be authentic when she helped her granddaughter insert a red gold peony hairpin.
Qingxi had no choice but to walk to the dressing mirror under the eager gaze of her grandmother and Xiaolan.
In the clean and spotless mirror, there was a girl wearing a red embroidered cheongsam. The collar and cuffs were golden piping, which reflected each other with the dark golden buckles. The fabric of Xiangyunsha perfectly outlined the girl's exquisite figure curve, her bulging breasts, slender waist, and beautifully slim like a mountain undulating mountain. Finally, she was taken away from the hips and waterfalls until under the hem of the skirt, revealing two pieces of snow-white and delicate calves.
Qingxi is very white, and its delicate skin is radiant with beautiful jade. Xiangyunshi is originally a beautiful but not vulgar material. Now when worn on her, it is like red yarn wrapped in jade. In the ultimate beauty, it blooms with the purest beauty.
Qingxi, who rarely wears cheongsams, was stunned for a moment, and then subconsciously touched her exposed arms. If it weren't for the cheongsam being too red, she wouldn't have noticed that she was so white.
"Don't cover it, it's just that it looks good. I think people wear it like this." Old Mrs. Xu pulled down her granddaughter's little hand and praised with a smile.
"Yes, this lady is so beautiful in it, I can't bear to take my eyes away." Xiaolan stared at the future eldest grandmother without blinking.
Qingxi is looking at the mirror, but in fact, I like it very much.
At seven o'clock, Gu Mingyan came here for breakfast as usual.
Qingxi was already sitting in the living room. When she saw him coming, she stood up politely. Because she was wearing her eye-catching new clothes, Qingxi's face turned a little red, and she didn't have the nerve to see what her nominal fiancé looked like.
Except for the fact that he was obviously slowing down when he first entered the door, Gu Mingyan had no expression on his face. He was sure that Mrs. Xu was not in the living room and that there was only the maid Xiaolan around. Gu Mingyan admired his fiancée for a long time without any concealment. Qingxi has been beautiful in the past few years, and he knew it as early as the train station, but Qingxi, who had changed into a cheongsam, still surprised Gu Mingyan.
If a beauty is wearing a shoulder-shoulder dress and shaking it in front of a man every day, the man will get tired of it if he shakes it too much. If a beauty who is used to long-sleeved long skirt suddenly appears in a more exposed dress, it will stimulate the man's vision and ** than anything else.
Due to Qingxi's age, Gu Mingyan's love for Qingxi was simply an appreciation before today, but facing Qingxi wearing a cheongsam, a cluster of flames suddenly ignited in Gu Mingyan's body, bewitching him to do something to his fiancée, such as holding hands between men and women, or even kissing.
"Very pretty." Walking to Qingxi, Gu Mingyan whispered, his warm breathing fell on her sensitive earlobes, like a lover's whisper.
"Thank you." Qingxi said as natural as possible, and then ordered Xiaolan to pour tea.
Xiaolan left, feeling her fiancé's burning gaze, Qingxi was nervous and secretly looked into her grandmother's room several times, hoping that her grandmother would come out soon.
"Tonight, we will go to the movies tonight?" Gu Mingyan took a sip of tea and asked his fiancee again for a date.
Tomorrow is Qingxi's last night in Hangzhou, and it is very suitable to do something souvenir. Gu Mingyan thought seriously.
Qingxi was not prepared, and a hint of panic appeared in his eyes. After thinking about it, he whispered: "I have to drive the bus the day after tomorrow, and I want to go to bed early."
Gu Mingyan was silent.
In the past, no woman refused his date, and most of the time, women tried every means to ask him out, but unexpectedly, he was defeated by his legitimate fiancée.
Is it a woman's reserve?
Gu Mingyan lowered his voice and looked at her slightly red face with black eyes: "Qingxi, you will be leaving the next day. I want to spend time with you alone."
Qingxi had almost zero experience in dealing with men's invitations. The more sincere Gu Mingyan was, the more she became, but she still said, "It's really not necessary. Actually, I don't like watching movies very much, it's too dark inside." Qingxi watched it once when her father took her to Shanghai to play.
Gu Mingyan thought to himself that it is better to touch his hands if he is black.
However, Qingxi refused twice, so he really didn't dare to go out for a date with him. Although Gu Mingyan regretted, he respected her decision. The old-school woman was not good at this and had too many concerns about everything she did. Fortunately, Xiucheng was not far away, so he took more time to see her in Xiucheng. If she got familiar with her, she would naturally accept him slowly.
"Okay, let you go this time. Next time you come, see if you have any excuses." Gu Mingyan said ambiguously.
Qingxi turned his head and touched his wrist unnaturally, thinking, what else will be next time?
After nine o'clock, the Gu family's guests arrived one after another.
Gu Huifang didn't like Qingxi, but Gu Yiqiu, the second wife, hit it off with Qingxi at first sight. She stayed by Qingxi and whispered to Qingxi to introduce the female guest who appeared every time. Qingxi was a lady taught by her mother. She was more restrained in the face of a man like Gu Mingyan. In the female guest circle, Qingxi was generously accepting everyone's attention and praise. Even the old lady Gu and the eldest lady couldn't find anything wrong.
"Before I met Qingxi, I always felt that this marriage was a hasty one. Now when I saw the real person, I admire Mingyan's father even more. His eyes were too vicious, so I could tell that Qingxi was a young lady's seedling." A wife from a government official praised in public without hesitation.
Old Mrs. Gu smiled stiffly.
Fortunately, most female guests would observe their expressions and know that Mrs. Gu was not satisfied with the marriage, so she changed the topic after a few polite words from Qingxi.
Qingxi stayed in the circle of girls and didn't care what the elders evaluated her.
"Ah, Sister Rumei is here!" Two new figures walked in at the door of the living room. Gu Huifang, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately jumped up, glanced at the clear stream with a meaningful meaning, and then flew over like a butterfly.
Gu Yiqiu approached Qingxi's ear and whispered: "Mrs. Shen has a good relationship with her aunt. Shen Rumei often comes to her home to play with Huifang, but as far as I know, Shen Rumei and her brother only went to the same school and had no other relationship."
Qingxi smiled at her.
Her bright eyes and white teeth, Gu Yiqiu was stunned. When she looked at Shen Rumei again, Gu Yiqiu thought that unless she was blind, she would not like her fiancée, and would provoke Shen Rumei, whose family background was stronger than Qingxi.
"Is this Qingxi? I almost recognized it." When Gu Huifang pulled him over, Shen Rumei praised Qingxi in surprise, "You are so beautiful today."
Qingxi looked at her trendy light green gauze dress and said sincerely: "Miss Chen is really good-looking." She is also a new-style woman, Chen Rumei has a more natural and modern atmosphere than the Gu sisters. Perhaps women who have been abroad are like this. Qingxi never envies the wealth of the Gu family, but she is also full of curiosity and yearning for the outside world.
"Call me sister." Chen Rumei sat next to Qingxi and said intimately.
Qingxi changed his mouth with a smile.
This was not the result that Gu Huifang wanted. She deliberately asked Chen Rumei: "Sister Rumei, Sister Xu has never been abroad. Please tell her about the British school affairs, and what happened to you and your elder brother."
Chen Rumei burst into laughter and pointed Gu Huifang's forehead familiarly: "Tell me clearly, what do you mean by my elder brother? We are family friends and study abroad. Your elder brother has taken care of me, but it is just a friendship between classmates. How come it changes its taste when it comes to your mouth? Qingxi, don't get me wrong."
The last sentence, looking at Qingxi saying it, was joking.
The girls in the small living room were all laughing.
Qingxi pretended to be shy and stayed in the bookcase.
The girl was wearing a red cheongsam, and she looked even more slender from the back. She looked like a deep eyebrows and looked at her casually. She suddenly had an encounter at Nanshan Temple a few days ago. As soon as she came out of the corridor, she looked in one direction in response, and saw Gu Mingyan with a girl in a shirt and skirt. Gu Mingyan, the eldest master of the Gu family who called the woman and whispered her whenever she wanted, was willing to put down his figure and accompany the woman outside her family to the temple he disliked the most.
Then she listened to his personal introduction that the little girl was his fiancée.
Gu Mingyan himself did not notice it. When he introduced Qingxi, the tenderness and pride hidden in his eyes.
Because she is a fiancée, she is willing to make an exception to accompany her to do things she doesn't like.
Because he is a fiancée, he must maintain a passionate and dedicated image in front of her, and not give anyone a direct look to others.
Chen Rumei smiled, and her thin white fingers rubbed back and forth the edge of the tea bowl.
Gu Mingyan pretended, she wanted to see how he explained to his most respected little wife when she had to come in the future.
The guests arrived and the birthday party in the garden officially began.
On her own good days, Mrs. Gu’s face was full of red today. Seeing Qingxi was not so annoying, she sincerely expressed her gratitude to the guests. The guests applauded.
Old Mrs. Gu returned to her family's table, and her eyes swept over her two sons and grandchildren one after another. Overall, she was quite satisfied with the arrangement of this birthday party.
"Eat it, it's all a family, don't be polite." Old Mrs. Gu said with a smile.
However, just as she was about to pick up the chopsticks, outside the gate of Gu's house, a shocking salute suddenly came from the sound of earth-shaking salutes. Everyone looked up and saw fireworks exploded in the air at the other side of the gate, and white smoke rolled like a fairyland.
After being shocked, Old Mrs. Gu gave her eldest son angered: "I said everything and kept it simple, why did you do such a big move?"
I feel disgusted with my mouth, and the corners of my mouth are almost tilted to the horizon.
But Gu Shiqin turned to his second brother: "You asked someone to release it?"
Gu Shichang looked confused: "I didn't give in..."
Gu Shiqin looked at his son again.
Gu Mingyan understood and was about to send someone to the door to ask, but a listener hurriedly ran in and preached from a distance: "Old lady, old lady, there is a gentleman outside the door who claims to be Mr. Gu, the third master of Shencheng. Because he is of the same clan, he heard that the old lady celebrated her birthday today, so he came to congratulate her."
Qingxi also sat at this table, and his heart moved when he heard this.
Gu Mingyan looked at her and explained to her father and grandmother in time: "The third master is the one who subdued the bandits on the train."
Old Mrs. Gu was still confused and couldn't figure out why a third master who had no friendship was so polite. However, the person who came was a guest. Seeing the guests' reaction, the third master seemed to be a character. Old Mrs. Gu said, "Why don't you invite me in?" He also ordered the maids to set up a table and banquet again.
The maids were busy, and guests from all tables looked at the entrance of the garden, curious about Gu Sanye’s true face.
When Qingxi saw everyone watching, she followed her.
Gu's house was very big. After about ten minutes, three figures appeared in the distance. One was a servant of the Gu family, leading two figures. Naturally, Lu Duo was in a white suit. The 18-year-old man was quite tall, 1.8 meters tall. However, the man in black next to him was about half a head taller than him. He was tall and tall, and invisibly showed the majesty of those who had been in the upper class for a long time.
The guests who first met the two did not find it strange, but Qingxi immediately noticed that Mr. Gu San did not wear sunglasses today.
Thinking of seeing his appearance thoroughly, Qingxi was inexplicably nervous.
Gu Huaixiu and Lu Duo walked directly to the table of Mrs. Gu in the central government.
As the distance was closer, Qingxi finally saw his face clearly, and then, instinctively, she turned to Gu Shiqin.
It really looks like it, except for those cold pool-like eyes.
Gu Shiqin stared at the visitor, his eyes full of disbelief.
Old Mrs. Gu's reaction was stronger than him. Her face, which had just been red, had turned pale at this time and her body trembled slightly.
The guests in the distance might not have noticed it. Qingxi and others who were sitting in front of him realized something was wrong, and they were at a loss and watched in a daze.
"Mother, do you still remember me?" Gu Huaixiu stared at Old Mrs. Gu who was almost lying on the seat and asked lightly.
Others are cold, and there is no warmth in their faces and eyes. Even the sound seems to come from under the ice, making people feel frightened.
Qingxi didn't know what others felt, she didn't dare to look at them anymore.
"Are you Shijun?" Gu Shiqin finally reacted and asked with complicated eyes.
Gu Huaixiu seemed to have not heard of it, just staring at Old Mrs. Gu.
Lu Duo sneered and said sarcastically: "I dare not sort with the Gu family, the second master, my uncle is now called Gu Huaixiu."
After saying that, Lu Duo put the black box in his arms heavily in front of Old Mrs. Gu and said with a smile: "Old lady, this is a gift my uncle has carefully prepared for you. Do you open it and take a look?"
Old Mrs. Gu's lips turned purple, and the more she shook, the more she became.
Just when Gu Shiqin and the two Gu Shichang brothers could not stand it and intended to obstruct them, Lu Duo lifted the lid of the box first.
"ah!"
In the originally joyful Gu family garden, several screams of women suddenly rang out.
Qingxi covered her mouth and threw herself into her grandmother's arms, but she couldn't stop the bloody heads that had just been forced into her mind...
