Reborn Noble Daughter and First Wife

Chapter 198
For Master Shen's fiftieth birthday, Gu Qinglian washed up early, changed into a relatively festive outfit and came to the main hall.She thought that she had come early enough, but who would have expected that the room was full of people, young and old, and she would be the last to come.

I saw Mr. Shen with white hair all over his head, and he described Qinglong sitting on it. He was dressed in ocher red brocade with longevity patterns, which made him look more energetic.Madam Shen's complexion was dark and gloomy, Gu Qinglian stood in her own place facing Madam Shen and her displeased expression.Shen Congjia led all the children, wives and concubines to kneel down in front of Master Shen, and kowtowed three times in a row, counting it as his birthday.

But after a while, the door of Shen's mansion was opened, and a pair of red couplets sprinkled with gold were hung on both sides, and guests began to stream in an endless stream.There was a great banquet in the courtyard, and there was a lot of noise in the house. For a while, many men and women were sitting or standing, talking lively. Mrs. Shen led Liu Xu to everyone with a smile on her face, saying that she was bestowed by the emperor. Daughter-in-law, how filial and sensible Liu Xu is, she also saluted and answered very politely, which attracted everyone to praise her. Mrs. Shen became even more energetic, as if she had been beaten with chicken blood, she would pull Liu Xu to introduce a guest. , Che Jilu said the words as soon as he saw the guests, as if Liu Xu was the official daughter-in-law of the Shen family, and he left Gu Qinglian completely.

Gu Qinglian didn't care about these at all, she chose a quieter, remote seat and sat down.Mrs. Shen praised her as a good daughter-in-law, and Gu Qinglian drank her tea like a well water like a river water.

In the end it was inconvenient for men and women, Liu Xu led the female relatives to a small courtyard nearby.Gu Qinglian walked at the end carelessly.

Gu Qinglian was the most troublesome in this kind of scene, she didn't like to socialize the most, so she simply hid in an inconspicuous corner and quietly drank tea.

She looked coldly at the daughters-in-law of dignitaries and dignitaries who came to pray for their birthdays. The daughters were chattering not far away, and some words inadvertently drifted into her ears: Didn't the young master of another family marry some fireworks girl as a concubine? People's business is to show off to each other about their master's promotion and wealth, or how expensive the clothes and jewelry are.

It seems that throughout the ages, the topics of the women piled together have remained the same through the ages!There are two things that cannot be escaped, one is the gossip scandal of other people's family, and the other is showing off your husband, showing off your wealth and showing off your happiness.

Gu Qinglian obediently sat in a corner, holding a tea bowl and carefully looking at the pastels on it, secretly sighing that there are many right and wrong places where there are women, this is not true at all!
The women in the crowd are all gorgeously dressed, surrounded by jewels and emeralds.Liu Xu shuttled among these female relatives, taking care of them warmly and thoughtfully, and chatting attentively, she was quite the limelight today.

"Eldest young mistress, you should go over and have a chat too. After all, you are the eldest young master's first wife!" Fang Xin tried to persuade her, seeing that Liu Xu's limelight was a little too much, she was a little annoyed.

Gu Qinglian was not angry, she smiled slightly and said: "There are many people here, why don't you accompany me to the garden." After finishing speaking, she got up and left.

She estimated that the banquet would take a while to start, so she decided to temporarily leave this place of right and wrong.Besides, looking at today's situation, even if she doesn't attend, it will be fine.

Fangxin followed her to the garden, the scenery was still as beautiful as picturesque, and more importantly, her ears could finally be clean.Gu Qinglian walked aimlessly and came to the small pond.

The water in the pond was crystal clear, Gu Qinglian sat by the pond, took off her shoes and socks and tried to get enough water with her toes, the cold was very pleasant.Seeing the red carp swimming around on the soles of the feet, she said to Fang Xin, "Xin'er, help me."

Fangxin supported her, she thought that Gu Qinglian was going to get up, but she didn't.Gu Qinglian held her with both hands, one foot stepped on a raised stone beside the side, and the other continued to probe into the water.

"Young Mistress, what are you doing?" Fangxin's eyes widened with a worried look on her face.Her master is too childish, but she has caused trouble a lot.

"It's okay, I just want to go into the water and have fun."

As soon as she finished saying this, she felt her feet slip, and with an "ah", her whole body was suspended in the water without any support.Fangxin panicked and pulled her hard, and Gu Qinglian kicked her feet wildly, looking for a new support point, and pulled her up with a pair of big hands in a panic.

Gu Qinglian stepped on the ground with both feet, and her beating heart finally settled down. Only then did she remember that someone had saved her life, so she raised her head, put away her panicked eyes and looked forward, a handsome face with a pair of His deep eyes were staring at her.

Her eyes immediately became flustered again, "Why are you? Why are you here?"

"Young Mistress still remembers me, I'm really honored!" He still had a cynical tone, with the same disdainful expression on his face, his eyes restlessly swept Gu Qinglian from head to shoe.

Gu Qinglian looked at him as a playboy, with sultry eyes, and felt disgusted in her heart.What was the purpose of Li Yuanming's presence in the Shen residence, and why did he meet him so coincidentally?Gu Qinglian thought that meeting him was not accidental, and she didn't want to be with him so as not to cause Shen Congjia's misunderstanding.

Deep down in her heart, she still cared about Shen Congjia's feelings.

She didn't want to waste time with this swinger, so she quickly saluted, "Thank you!" and turned to leave.

A big hand pulled her back to the original place again, Gu Qinglian was terrified, she quickly shook off his hand and said angrily in a low voice: "I hope you will keep yourself safe."

Li Yuanming ignored Gu Qinglian's resistance, grabbed her hand firmly, took two steps forward, stared at Gu Qinglian with a pair of deep eyes like an unpredictable sea, and breathed out the hot breath on her chest. face.

Gu Qinglian's heart was beating wildly, this guy is an out-and-out swinger, he had eaten tofu a few times before, but now he is in Shen's mansion, Gu Qinglian couldn't tell with their current posture even with ten mouths of.

Seeing that the strange man treated Gu Qinglian like this, Fangxin was so frightened that she almost called out for someone, but was stopped by Gu Qinglian's gaze.

Gu Qinglian raised her eyes and saw the face in front of her, with narrow and smiling eyes, star-like eyes, expressive eyebrows, handsome nose, slightly raised mouth corners, unruly black hair scattered around her ears.Add an evil charm.

Gu Qinglian knew that to deal with these evil perverts, struggling and resisting would lead to bad things, so she immediately changed into an indifferent look, and said coldly: "Do you have anything to say, my lord? Qinglian is all ears."

Li Yuanming saw Gu Qinglian's expression was extremely indifferent, his eyes were indifferent but icy cold, and his tone was even colder like ice cubes. Before he knew it, he suddenly felt a little pain.

He let go of Gu Qinglian's arm, and his frantically beating heart felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured on it, and it instantly became freezing point.

This encounter with Gu Qinglian was actually a coincidence, he was originally ordered by the emperor to sneak into Shen's mansion to find out about Liu Xu's progress on the occasion of celebrating Master Shen's birthday.The work was over, and he was thinking of going out of the mansion through the garden to a secluded door, but bumped into her on the way.

He originally thought that after such a long time, there was nothing to her, but from the first time he saw her, his heart was still tense, and the excitement and excitement that could not be restrained surged up, his heart and body seemed to be being squeezed What is possessed, no longer controlled by his consciousness, that's why he held her arm, and that's why he got close to her, feeling her body temperature and her breath.

Li Yuanming saw Gu Qinglian standing calmly, but she was so elegant, so indifferent, with such cold water-like eyes, a pair of overly cold eyes made this elegance almost indifferent, and there was something revealed in her bones far away. The coldness that comes out seems to isolate him from the world, so holy that people dare not yearn for him at all, and dare not approach him at all.

Li Yuanming took two steps back, his lips moved slightly but he didn't say anything.

Gu Qinglian turned around without any suspense, and hurriedly escaped from the wrong place with Fangxin.After leaving him, Gu Qinglian's restrained heart jumped up again in a panic. Just now Li Yuanming stared at her so hotly. His deep and charming eyes belonged to a very enchanting male god. His thin lips were slightly hooked. It exudes evil spirits.

Isn't this exactly the 'dish' that Gu Qinglian wanted with all her heart!

With such a valuable golden bachelor in front of her, how could she not be tempted!
If it were in modern times, she would have thrown herself into her arms without hesitation, but helplessly, now that she is a wife, the basic women's morals still have to be guarded!

It's just that Li Yuanming's fiery gaze just now made Gu Qinglian very useful, at least her self-esteem was greatly satisfied.

Gu Qinglian's heart fluttered for a while, and a blush gradually appeared on her face. With this inexplicable good mood, she returned to the banquet.

On the other side, Li Yuanming stood where he was, feeling extremely disheartened. He sat by the small pond with his head downcast. Unknowingly, a few small drops of water splashed on his face. Only then did he regain his senses, and suddenly heard a voice behind him. A voice as crisp as a silver bell came: "Okay, so you are here, so it's easy for me to find you!"

As soon as the words fell, his left arm was pulled upwards by someone, and the silver bell-like voice continued to ring, "Brother, hurry up, the banquet is already open, and everyone is waiting."

Li Yuanming stood up with the opportunity, raised his head suddenly and turned around to look:
She is dressed in silver silk ink snow jasmine palace gown made of silk skirt with budding breasts, sleeves, and waist. The elegant light yellow, melon seed-shaped white and tender jade face has a pair of pear dimples slightly between the cheeks. The cheeks are as polished as a viburnum that has just opened, white and red.Her jet-black hair was tied in a bun, on which was a beaded hairpin with tassels hanging from it.The eyebrows are slender and picturesque, the eyes are twinkling like stars, the whole person is like a butterfly fluttering in the wind, and like clear ice and snow...

"Hey, who are you?" The silver bell-like voice sounded again, her arms were pulled away quickly, and her big smart eyes stared at him curiously.

"Who are you?" Li Yuanming looked at the picturesque girl in front of him, feeling a little dazzled.She is only sixteen or seventeen years old, with a graceful figure, just like a pearl and jade, pure and flawless.

"I, I'm the third lady of the Shen family, who are you? Why don't I know you?" Shen Congjin said unsuspectingly, and she looked him up and down carefully:
The facial features are exquisite, deep eyes, straight nose, perfectly curved lips, combined into a charming face.Tall and tall, his arrogant and unruly face was full of indifference, revealing an evil beauty, an incomparable dignity.The vermilion veil is covered with a white silk garment.The whole person looks both charming and dusty.

"Oh, I see, you are here to celebrate your birthday." Shen Congjin stared at him for a long time before saying.

Li Yuanming looked at the Third Miss of the Shen family in front of him, her white skin was like a freshly peeled egg, her big eyes flickered as if she could speak, her small red lips and white skin were more distinct, and a pair of small dimples were evenly distributed On both sides of her cheeks, she smiled lightly, with dimples looming on her cheeks, she was as cute as a fairy.Hearing that the tone of her words was still a bit mischievous, I couldn't help but feel moved, and smiled slightly at the corner of her mouth and said: "Yes."

"You haven't told me yet, who are you?" Shen Congjin interrupted him, keeping his eyes on Li Yuanming, and continued to ask with a smile.

Facing Shen Congjin who was so agile, Li Yuanming found it difficult to refuse her question, and said a little blankly: "Oh, my name is Li Yuanming, it's..."

Before he finished introducing himself, Shen Congjin pulled his cuffs with his fingertips, his beautiful eyes seemed to be talking, with a mischievous and cheerful smile, "We know each other, um, let's be friends." Big eyes She looked at Li Yuanming brightly, looking forward to his answer.

Li Yuanming came back to his senses, twitched the corners of his mouth, and two words came out of his mouth out of nowhere, "Okay."

Shen Congjin's eyes flashed, her expression was extremely happy, she suddenly thought of something, raised her big eyes to look at Li Yuanming, the corners of her mouth curled up nicely, "The banquet is about to start, let's go together."

Li Yuanming watched her flickering eyelashes. He found it really difficult for him to say no to her, so he nodded helplessly, and was led by her to the banquet.
