Chapter 19: Gifts and Dances
Sheng Wanrou and Sheng Jinglin's dance successfully attracted the attention of all the guests.
Many guests realized that Sheng Wanrou was the real protagonist of today's birthday party.
When the banquet had been going on for an hour, Tong Yuqi and Ke Zhen arrived at Sheng's house.
"It's my birthday, why is the commander here so late?"
"I'm preparing a birthday present for Miss Seven, but I'm a little late. ”
"What gift does the Commander want to give me? ”
"Ke Zhen. Tong Yuqi shouted Ke Zhen.
I saw a rectangular brocade box handed over by Ke Zhen, and when I opened the brocade box, it contained a painting.
"I know that Miss Seven is used to seeing good things, and ordinary gold, silver and jewelry can't get into Miss Seven's eyes. The gift I prepared for Miss Seven today guarantees that Miss Qi will never forget it. ”
Sheng Wanrou stepped forward, and the eyes of all the guests were also attracted by this brocade box.
Ke Zhen slowly opened the painting, which was a fine brush painting. The painting depicts a beautiful woman.
I saw this beauty sitting a little lazily in front of the dresser, holding her hair with her left hand, and inserting a jade hairpin into her hair with her right hand.
The beauty is dressed in a skirt, and the sleeves of the large-sleeved shirt naturally droop, revealing two snow-white arms. In front of the beauty dresser is a mirror. It just reflects the delicate facial features of this woman
Distant mountain eyebrows, cut water autumn pupils, high nose bridge, cherry mouth, cheeks, slightly flushed.
Sheng Wanrou only saw the mystery in this painting at a glance.
On the left side of the painting there are four lines of poetry that read:
The beauty is lazy and slowly groomed, the ice muscle and jade bone shine in the flower mirror, the mortal fairy falls in the nine heavens, and there is Pan Lang next door.
"Commander, did you paint this painting yourself or did you ask someone to paint it?"
"I painted the painting myself, and it took me five days to finish. ”
"I thought that the commander could also draw. ”
"The name of the speaker is a beautiful woman's picture. I wonder if Miss Seven has seen the mystery in this painting?"
Sheng Wanrou smiled slightly, just silently looking at Tong Yuqi.
"Now that Miss Seven has seen the mystery in this painting, then please ask Miss Seven to accept this special birthday gift. ”
Tong Yuqi deliberately showed this painting to the guests. Sheng Wanrou did not have any objections.
Three minutes later, Sheng Manrou put the painting away.
"The commander really has a heart. ”
"The birthday present for Miss Seven must be heartfelt. ”
At this time, Ke Zhen took out a small rectangular gift box.
"This is the Dongzhu produced by the Ussuri River, which has been a tribute to the imperial court since the founding of the Qing Dynasty. The color is smooth and the quality is high. It is a treasure of freshwater beads. Such a good pearl is the most opportune time to give it to the most beautiful person. ”
"I'm afraid the Commander doesn't know yet, I've never liked these gold, silver and jewelry. ”
"I know that Miss Seven doesn't like gold and silver jewelry, and these pearls were given to Miss Seven so that Miss Seven could grind them into powder, or some flour, and then add some milk to put on her face. ”
"Pearl grinding powder for the face, I've heard it before, it's for beauty. ”
"That's right, pearls have a whitening effect, and the skin is fair and smooth for a long time. Miss Seven's beauty cannot be disappointed. ”
"Commander, do you mean that the only thing I can do to save me is my appearance?"
"Miss Seven misunderstood what I meant, the beauty of my family is a gift from God. Only with careful care can the beauty last for a long time. ”
"There is no hidden face in this world, and I will not be so young forever, and when I am old and have wrinkles on my face, I will never look like this again.
Beauty is born from the heart, giving people real beauty in the wind and bones rather than in appearance. As long as the wind and bones are there, even if the appearance disappears, it is still beautiful. ”
The commander said this, but I am afraid that he did not think so in his heart. ”
"Every word and sentence I said to Miss Seven was the truth. Sincerity takes time to test. ”
Tong Yuqi's last sentence is meaningful.
Sheng Wanrou blinked and looked at Tong Yuqi.
"Commander, I haven't played the piano I gave me last time, and I will play a song for the commander today, which can be regarded as a return gift to the commander. ”
Tong couldn't ask for it. Tong Yuqi was very happy.
Sheng Wanrou turned around and walked to the piano very elegantly, opened the lid of the piano, pulled her skirt and sat down.
Sheng Wanrou looked around for a moment, then coughed lightly, and ten slender fingers rested on the black and white keys.
In an instant, I saw Sheng Wanrou's ten fingers like butterflies flying up and down. A lilting tune flowed from his fingertips.
Shang Wanrou is an improvised piece.
The melody is sometimes light, sometimes low, sometimes soothing, sometimes passionate.
Throughout the performance, her eyes were always looking at Tong Yuqi.
Tong Yuqi naturally understood what Sheng Wanrou meant, and Tong Yuqi's eyes also looked at him very gently.
The guests listened quietly, Sheng Wanrou was playing the piano, and the song ended three minutes later.
Sheng Wanrou stood up to greet all the guests, and the guests responded with thunderous applause.
"Commander, do you understand, what is playing in this song?"
"The leaves are pale, the white dew is frost, and there is an Yi man, on the water side. ”
Sheng Wanrou laughed softly twice.
"Thank you, all of you, for coming to my birthday party today. Our Sheng family has prepared a sumptuous dinner for you, please feel free to do so. ”
At this time, Yan'er brought a tray with two goblets on it, and Sheng Wanrou and Tong Yuqi took one by themselves.
"This is the champagne that my eldest brother sent from Hong Kong, Commander to taste it. ”
Tong Yuqi took a sip, "Sweet and refreshing, just like tasting the beauty of a beauty." ”
Sheng Wanrou's face turned a little red after hearing this, "What does the commander mean by this?"
"Miss Seven can understand my words. Tong Yuqi whispered.
Sheng Wanrou smiled slightly, and Tong Yuqi also smiled slightly.
"I'll ask Miss Seven to dance!" Tong Yuqi stretched out his hand.
"I'm sweating a little, let me go and change my clothes. "Sheng Wan judo.
"I'm waiting for Miss Seven. Tong Yuqi was already emotionally rippling at this time.
Sheng Wanrou went upstairs and changed into a pure white cheongsam, and the newly made cheongsam was a high slit, which made Sheng Wanrou feel uncomfortable, so she sewed the slit again.
The two slender straight legs are half-covered and half-hidden, which has a unique charm. She pulled her hair back into a bun, looking dignified and girlish without losing her sense of youth. I changed the color of the lipstick again.
She wrapped herself in a silk shawl and went downstairs.
Sheng Wanrou, dressed in a white cheongsam, slowly walked down the stairs, she was like a noble queen smiling proudly from everyone.
This pride comes from her background, from her cultivation, and even more from her insight.
Tong Yuqi looked at Sheng Wanrou and was very excited, and when Sheng Wanrou bought the last step, Ke Zhen walked up and said, "The road knows the horsepower, and the people will see the hearts of the people over time." Please also ask Miss Seven to taste the hearts of the people through the surface, and Miss Seven will not be disappointed in the future. ”
Sheng Wanrou nodded.
Tong Yuqi stretched out his hand again, and the two came to the center of the hall.
Sheng Jinglin personally accompanied the two, and the two danced to the melody.
"Miss Seven is really beautiful today, I'm about to get drunk. Tong Yuqi looked at Sheng Wanrou with a smile.
"The Commander is very good at talking. That painting is also very meaningful. ”
"That's you, and I've spent five days trying to figure out your looks and demeanor. How's that, I'm okay with my drawing!"
"The commander is not a manchu nobleman, and he really has taste. ”
"If Miss Seven is willing to give me this opportunity, I will only give you one person to paint in my life. ”
"The commander is really confident!"
"You can't miss the opportunity when you treat a beautiful woman. ”
"What is the relationship between the commander and the first lady?"
"He accompanied me through the most difficult days, and he was not in good health, and gave birth to a pair of children for me. She is a woman I will be grateful to and will never forget in my life. ”
"The commander is affectionate and righteous, and he is a good man. ”
"I am also sincere to Miss Seven, and I am willing to give everything I can for you. You will feel that what you say is not as good as what you actually do. But you can only prove it to you if you give me a chance. ”
"Does the commander take a fancy to me because he really likes me, or because he likes the power of our family?
Hearing this, Tong Yuqi didn't show how angry he was, and he didn't rush to argue for himself.
"In Miss Seven's opinion, am I, Tong Yuqi, such a snobbish person? Is it so difficult that I chase you for the sake of your family's human rights?"
"The commander is powerful, and for the commander, power, money and status are always things that are always pursued. Marriage with our family would be of great benefit to the commander in the future, both in terms of trying and money. ”
"What I Tong Yuqi has always valued most is feelings. Power, money, status, I want. I was born in this troubled world, and I can't survive without these things. But what I want more is affection. I am very saddened by the death of my wife, I now have a pair of children under my knees to take care of, and I hope to have a woman who can truly understand me for the rest of my life. ”
"I just came to Jiangcheng and the commander, and I just met the commander, so I had to think more about it when he confessed to me so directly. ”
"What are you afraid of? Are you afraid that your remaining property will be lost? Or are you afraid that I will use your family to do some shady things?
"You warlords have mixed thoughts in your hearts. In a few words, I can't get a glimpse of what you really think in your heart, although I have a family background, but I also have to think carefully about choosing the other half of my life. ”
"I'm still the same sentence, since Miss Seven understands my thoughts. Then please also ask Miss Seven to give me a chance, don't refuse me in a hurry, Lu Yao knows that the horsepower has been in the hearts of the people for a long time, and Miss Seven will naturally understand what I am. ”
Sheng Wanrou stopped talking, and her gaze became a little cold. He put his arm around Tong Yuqi's shoulders and continued her graceful dance steps.
Tong Yuqi continued to look at her very gently.
looked at each other, and Sheng Wanrou did not embarrass Tong Yuqi too much.
