Chapter 51

At the banquet, Jiang specially invited Fu Rong, the most famous geisha in western Hunan.Sitting in the garden, Gu Wanqing and Wutong watched the peonies bloom and smelled the fragrance of the flowers. After a while, the flute and pipa sounded again, and then dancers entered the arena. A group of beautiful women accompanied the rhythm of the music, gracefully , but danced, and waited until Furong came out in a light red dress, the fluttering cloud sleeves, accompanied by the soft waist and the moving dance steps, everyone watched with gusto.

"Sister Wanqing, that person dances really well~" Wu Tong laughed as he ate the snacks on the table.

If she was still in the country, Gu Wanqing would clap her hands and dance, and learn from her. Although she doesn't like female celebrities, she yearns for beautiful things very much.

But now she is in the Gu Mansion, she is now the eldest lady of the Gu Mansion, and her every move is being watched secretly by countless pairs of eyes intentionally or unintentionally. If she makes a slight indecent move, she will shame her mother and father. So she just sat quietly, smiling, pretending to be a lady.

"Yeah, it's really pretty. If Wutong likes to dance, I'll let my mother ask someone to teach you~" Gu Wanqing laughed.

Hearing this, Wu Tong said happily, "I'm not as smart as sister Wanqing, I'd better learn to read and write and be a female celebrity first..."

"Hmm~" Gu Wanqing thought that in a few days, she would be learning the Gu family's secret books from her elder brother. She couldn't help but feel excited and apprehensive. She was afraid that if she was only learning it now, she would not be able to learn it well. Although she has always been narcissistic about being smart, she Still a little worried.

Inadvertently looking through the crowd, she suddenly saw a young man walking towards a bridge not far away, wearing a navy blue robe and black hair, looking at her with a smile that was not a smile.

Someone nearby saw him from a distance, so he came forward to say hello, "Hey, isn't this the second son of King Xiang~" These people had already tacitly regarded Meng Canghai as the next hereditary king of Xiang, After all, the eldest son of the King of Xiang has been missing for half a year, and there is no news at all. Maybe it's already... It's better to curry favor with the second son of the King of Xiang now.

Mrs. Gu, who was on the side, saw her daughter looking at the young man, and said, "That is the second son of the King of Xiang, named Meng Canghai. The son is called Meng Cangqing. His mother died young, so he was brought up by the old lady. Our Gu family and the Meng family are family friends. When Yu'er was young, he went to Xiangwang Mansion, and the old lady fell in love with Yu'er, so Yu'er often For a period of time, I lived in the Xiangwang Mansion, and the two of them were childhood sweethearts... But something bad happened in the Xiangwang Mansion in the past six months. Meng Cangqing disappeared, and there was no news of him. It was rumored that he had been murdered, but my mother But I think he must still be alive, that child is really good, and he is a good friend with your elder brother..."

Gu Wanqing nodded, knowing a little about the Meng family in her heart.

When Meng Canghai arrived at the banquet, he was surrounded by a group of people, and it was difficult to get out of the crowd, especially those girls who were staring at him, even blocking his sight.

When he tried every means to get rid of this group of people, it was already an hour later. At this moment, the crowd finally dispersed, and he found people close to him to drink and chat everywhere.

He looked at the seat where Gu Wanqing was sitting just now, and there was no one there.

"Are you looking for her?" At some point, Gu Yuyu came to Meng Canghai's side and asked softly.

Seeing that there was no one around, Meng Canghai lowered his voice and said, "Yeah, I didn't expect that she would become the eldest lady of the Gu family, or the daughter of the eldest lady. If you want to get rid of her now, it will be even more difficult..."

Gu Yuyu thought that it was because of her that Meng Canghai tried every means to get rid of Gu Wanqing, her heart warmed, and she said, "Don't worry, people are under your nose anyway, just take your time, now that she has become the focus of the whole city, there will always be Some people don't like her, don't they?"

Listening to Gu Yuyu's words, Meng Canghai seemed to be implying something, but what she said was right, it was much easier to monitor people under their noses, and maybe they could find that person and wipe them out in one fell swoop.

"Then listen to you, let's take a look for now..." Meng Canghai smiled, and when he looked at Gu Yuyu again, he found that her complexion was not very good, so he asked with concern: "I'm not doing well in the mansion recently. Did you lose a lot of weight..." He took her hand unconsciously.

When Gu Yuyu saw it, she frowned slightly, withdrew her hand without showing a trace, and said, "There are a lot of people here. After all, we have grown up, so it's better to be cautious. Everything is fine with me. I just watched her appear and snatch her away." After leaving all the focus of the family, I just feel unhappy..."

Meng Canghai noticed Gu Yuyu's eyes full of hatred, followed her gaze, it was Gu Wanqing who was talking and laughing with everyone, she is so beautiful today, but no matter how beautiful she is, as long as she helps that person, he He will destroy it without hesitation, no one can stop his ambition, but...

He looked at Gu Yuyu, only she could.

Gu Yuyu turned her head, only to find that Meng Canghai was staring at her in a daze, her expression was still as affectionate as usual, she pretended not to see it, turned her eyes away, and said, "Since you are here, let me take you around , the peonies are in full bloom today~"

"Okay, it's a great honor." Meng Canghai smiled faintly.

When Gu Wanqing raised her eyes, she was relieved to see the couple leaving. Seeing that it was almost time, she wanted to go back to her room, so she said to Gu Yucheng, "Second brother, I'm a little tired, I'll take Wutong back to my room first." ~"

Gu Jucheng looked at Gu Wanqing in surprise, and asked, "So early?"

Bai Xiaosheng on the side snorted and said with a smile: "She is hungry, it's really hard for her, she is really exhausted after pretending to be a lady all day..."

"Those who know me, Xiaosheng also~" Gu Wanqing was not angry, she smiled and asked: "Second brother, are you going to my yard? Let's open a small stove!"

Seeing Gu Wanqing's appearance, Gu Yucheng thought it was funny, and said, "Okay, let's go, I'm tired of being here too, but I have to call my good brother Mo Chenhan and introduce you to each other..."

"Okay, Second Brother, if Eldest Brother is not busy, you can come too. I'll go back and get ready first." Gu Wanqing replied.

"Yeah." Gu Yucheng responded, and then looked around for the bohemian Mo Chenhan.

Gu Wanqing immediately took Wutong and Bai Xiaosheng to Xuanzhuyuan, and at the same time ordered: "Chunyue and Xia He go back and tell the little girls to move the table in the house to the yard, and Qiushuang and Dongxue take some people there The kitchen in the mansion, bring some food, the more the better, we will gather in the small yard by ourselves~"

"Yes, miss~" Seeing that Gu Wanqing was in high spirits, the four servant girls in spring, summer, autumn and winter couldn't help being happy too, and went to work separately.

"Where have you been these few days? I haven't seen you..." Gu Wanqing looked at Bai Xiaosheng and asked.

"I was dragged away by your second brother and went to do errands, but I was exhausted. Later, you have to make it up to me~" Bai Xiaosheng was asked, and immediately put on a tired look Come on, winked, and said with a sly smile: "I heard that you have many treasures in your house?"

"Looking at you like a thief, I really dare not take you back to the yard~" Gu Wanqing pursed her lips, looking disgusted.

"Hey~ how should I put it, the three of us came here together through thick and thin, and now I'm poor and help others, so you should help me anyway~" Bai Xiaosheng smiled with a pale face.

"That's right~ If you don't tell me, I forgot, you live in my house and eat my food, and you haven't charged money yet!" Gu Wanqing said with a look of sudden memory.

Bai Xiao was discouraged, and regretted what he said just now. Now that he won't be able to get money, he will be charged instead. He immediately changed the subject and said, "Hey~ the weather is really nice today~"

Gu Wanqing knew that he did not expose his intentions, and did not continue the topic just now, but when she walked to the yard, Bai Xiaosheng was left waiting in the yard, and did not let him follow in. When Gu Wanqing came out of the house again, she held the Holding a golden compass and a rare jade pendant, he looked at Bai Xiaosheng.

It was only then that Bai Xiaosheng realized that this was for him. He was so excited that he didn't know what to say. After a long time, he asked hesitantly, "For me?"

"Otherwise? I asked Mama Zhang to find this compass. It's old, but it's a good thing. I think you'll like it. I'll give you this jade pendant. If you give Wutong an amulet, I'll give you a jade pendant." That..." Gu Wanqing smiled.

"Wanqing, I really like him so much. I didn't think of you...you think of me so much~" Bai Xiaosheng was really touched. In the past, only his parents would think of him, miss him, and leave good things to him. Besides him, there is no one else, Gu Wanqing is the first one.

At this moment, Wutong came out of the room grumblingly, with her hands secretly behind her back, her face was blushing, and she looked very shy. Seeing Bai Xiaosheng looking at her, she lowered her head in embarrassment, He walked forward slowly, handed over the package in his hand, and said softly: "Brother Xiaosheng, I sent it to you."

"Give it to me? I'm so happy today. Both of you are Miss Gu's, and you still miss me~" Bai Xiaosheng took it and opened it impatiently, but it was a white robe. He was slightly taken aback, and asked Said: "What did you do?"

"En~" Indus nodded.

"It's really well done, I like it very much!" Bai Xiaosheng folded it carefully again, and gently stroked it, with tears in his eyes. Since his mother passed away, no one has made clothes for him anymore.

"Brother Xiaosheng, remember to wear it, I will often make it for you in the future~" Seeing that Bai Xiaosheng was happy, Wu Tong was cautious, worried that he would not wear it, so she reminded, this was her original intention of becoming a female worker. My ideal is to be a good wife and mother.

"Bai Xiaosheng, be content. I don't even have a share. I'll give you the first dress made by Wutong. You can't dislike it!" Gu Wanqing threatened with a smile, and she couldn't help but envy in her words.

"How come~" Bai Xiaosheng turned his head away, inadvertently wiped away his tears, and said pretending to be nonchalant.

Gu Wanqing pretended not to see it, and sat on the swing beside her buttocks, while swinging, she muttered: "I've been pretending to be a lady for a whole day, but I'm really exhausted. I really admire Gu Yuyu. You don't need to pretend to be a lady. I can't be everyone's lady~"

In the past few days, everyone has been busy preparing for the banquet, and Gu Wanqing asked Zhang Mama to learn the etiquette in private. She was afraid that she would do something inappropriate at the banquet and make outsiders laugh at the Gu family. Now it seems to be quite successful. ~
