In August, the weather is no longer hot and dry. Zhouzhuang is not as hot as Shanghai, and after a few rains, it seems to have entered autumn early.

Mother Zhang carefully arranged the chestnut cake steamed in the morning, and told the maid to bring it upstairs, "Madame's appetite has finally improved in the past two days, so serve it quickly." The maid hurriedly picked up and left.

Mama Zhang looked at her back as she went upstairs and sighed slightly. I remembered that yesterday Chunsheng said that the young lady mentioned a mouthful of chestnut cake, and seemed to want to eat it. She prepared some overnight, but after Mrs. came to Zhouzhuang, her appetite became even worse.

Sigh heart disease and heart medicine.

But she watched Gu Shaoting grow up, and knew that if he really made up his mind, it wouldn't work if he was afraid of anyone. It's just that she thought that he was as good as Miss Su......

Zhang's mother shook her head, and felt that the world was unpredictable, and she couldn't help it.

The weather is cloudy today, and the corridor on the second floor is a little dark. The maid raised her hand and knocked on the door, and after a while, Chunsheng opened the door, and the maid handed over the things in her hand. Chunsheng saw that it was chestnut cake, and took it with a smile, "Mother Zhang really has a heart." The maid chatted with her for a few words, and then went downstairs.

Su Qingwan is in the room with a pair of calligraphy, the recent rain has brought moisture, the tip of the pen is stained with moisture, and the pen is not always very comfortable. Su Qingwan only wrote for a while, and then put down the pen.

Chunsheng came over with chestnut cake and said happily, "Miss, let's have some snacks." Su Qingwan turned her head to look, with a slight smile on her face, "It's actually chestnut cake." ”

Su Qingwan raised her hand and picked up a piece and put it in her mouth, it was soft and delicate, sweet and delicious, although it was different from the taste in her memory, it was also delicious.

When I was a child, my father often brought her Zhengmingzhai's chestnut cake when he came back, and she ate a lot, and she could taste which one he brought. To this day, I still remember that the chestnut cake made by the branch in the north of Liushujing Road is the most delicious.

"Miss, if you like, eat more. Chunsheng held the pastry and looked at Su Qingwan with a smile.

Su Qingwan nodded, her appetite has not been very good recently, and Chunsheng and Zhang's mother are not less worried. Thinking of this, she ate a few more pieces. Chunsheng seemed to be very happy, Su Qingwan smiled at her after eating, "Let it go, I'll eat it later." ”

Chunsheng hummed, put the pastry on the table next to him and said, "I'll go downstairs to help Zhang's mother and them." ”

Su Qingwan smiled lightly, "Okay." She turned to put away the paper and ink, picked up a book and sat quietly by the window and read.

Chunsheng walked to the door and looked back at Su Qingjuan. She is now more than four months pregnant, but her body is getting thinner and thinner. Chunsheng turned around and secretly wiped his tears, and hurriedly went out.

She only felt that the second master was so ruthless that she didn't come to see the young lady for so long......

Su Qingwan heard the sound of the door closing, and gently closed the book again. She looked up at the window, the white walls and eaves, the old trees and moss, and she had a sense of serenity. It's just that after coming to Zhouzhuang, it seems that most of the days are cloudy, and there are few sunny days.

Autumn was coming, but she felt that time was passing so slowly.

At the beginning of autumn in August, the weather in Shanghai still did not converge.

At noon, the sun was shining overhead, and it was extremely hot. In the evening, a cold wind blew again, and there was already a hint of chill in the wind.

It was dark, and there were two cars parked at the gate of Gu Yuan. The second floor was silent, Zhou Yong walked to the door of the study and knocked on the door, and only when he heard the response from inside did he carefully push the door open, and whispered, "Second master, Miss Feng is waiting outside." ”

Gu Shaoting, who was standing in front of the window, responded in a low voice, but did not move for a long time.

Zhou Yong didn't dare to urge, and waited quietly in place. Today's banquet is a regular gathering of military and political circles, which is held once a year. Gu Shaoting has never gotten going, but this time Chairman Feng's phone call went directly to Gu Yuan and asked Gu Shaoting to accompany Feng Qi.

The second lady of the Feng family rarely appeared in Shanghai, and mostly wanted Gu Shaoting to accompany her to go through the motions and meet the big and small people in Shanghai. I also want to use the face of the Gu family to accumulate some contacts.

After a while, Gu Shaoting turned around and picked up the coat on the chair with an expressionless face, put it on, raised his feet and walked out, "Let's go." ”

This banquet was set in the big world, and when Gu Shaoting and Feng Qi arrived, the banquet had already begun.

In previous years, the banquets were lively, but there was not much to talk about. It's just that this year, not only did Gu Erye, who never participated, come, but he also came with the daughter of the Feng family. Everyone didn't dare to say it openly, but they already had all kinds of thoughts in their hearts, just waiting for them to appear.

Therefore, Gu Shaoting and Feng Qi became the focus of the audience as soon as they arrived. People from all walks of life, whether they know or don't know each other, must come over to say hello, for fear of falling behind.

Gu Shaoting also politely introduced Feng Qi one by one, and was so busy that everyone dispersed.

Feng Qi smiled gratefully at Gu Shaoting, "I have always been most afraid of this kind of occasion, and this time it is thanks to you." Gu Shaoting smiled with his wine glass and did not speak.

The two were about to turn around and leave, but a voice came from behind them, "The young marshal stays." ”

Gu Shaoting turned around and saw the person coming, and his eyes immediately changed. Feng Qi also frowned when he saw the person opposite. If she remembers correctly, this person is President Su of the Shanghai Jing'an Chamber of Commerce.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but turn her head and glance at Gu Shaoting, feeling slightly nervous. She remembered the last time they met, and although she didn't know why, she could sense that there was a hostility between them.

Gu Shaoting looked at Su Jinfeng quietly, with a coldness all over his body. At this moment, Zhou Yong came over and whispered something in Gu Shaoting's ear, Gu Shaoting's eyes narrowed slightly, and he turned his head to Feng Qi and said, "I'll go out." ”

Feng Qi nodded hurriedly, as if relieved.

When Gu Shaoting walked away, Su Jinfeng smiled and raised his glass to Feng Qi, "Miss Feng, long time no see." Feng Qi smiled at him a little reluctantly, "President Su is polite. ”

Su Jinfeng didn't care about drinking all the wine in the cup, and asked with a subtle expression, "Look at this, could it be that Miss Feng and the young marshal are about to have a good time?" Feng Qi was stunned, but he didn't know how to answer.

Su Jinfeng only acquiesced to her, and sighed, "Su thought that the young marshal would not marry another wife, and he didn't want to fall in love with Miss Feng so quickly......"

Feng Qi heard the meaning of his words, and then remembered the person he liked last time Gu Shaoting, so he raised his eyes lightly and looked at Su Jinfeng fixedly, "President Su's words...... What do you mean?"

Su Jinfeng looked surprised, and said hesitantly, "Miss Feng doesn't know, the young marshal has a deep affection for his former fiancée...... "He sighed regretfully, "It's just that it's ...... now."

Feng Qi frowned, "Now?"

"That's it. Su Jinfeng shook his head and smiled at Feng Qi easily, "With an identity like a young marshal, three wives and four concubines are normal, how can you be obsessed with a woman...... Ladies can rest assured. ”

Feng Qi also smiled generously, and after saying goodbye to Su Jinfeng politely, he turned around and went out.

Su Jinfeng stared at her back, put the empty wine glass on the table beside him, the smile on his face slowly turned cold, and finally disappeared.
