Chapter 49: The Wedding Banquet
He Yunxi stayed in Zhouzhuang for another two days, and then they returned to Shanghai. Before leaving, Uncle Zhou was somewhat reluctant and persuaded them to come often in the future, Su Qingwan smiled and nodded in response.
Probably because of leaving, the mood is not as relaxed as when I came. In addition, there has been very little news in the newspapers in southern Anhui in the past two days, and the Su family's wedding banquet is tomorrow, Su Qingwan always feels a little uneasy. On the contrary, Yun Xi kept smiling and talking to her, as if to ease her feelings.
It's not too early to return to Gu Yuan, Chunsheng is busy packing his luggage, "Miss, Mother Zhang said that the New Year is coming soon, see what we need, she is preparing in advance." Su Qingwan shook her head and didn't speak. Chunsheng looked at her worriedly, put down the clothes in his hand and walked over, and sat down next to Su Qingjuan, "Miss, are you worried about tomorrow's wedding banquet?" Su Qingwan turned his head to look at Chunsheng, and smiled indifferently, "I'm not worried about anything, Chunsheng." He patted her hand soothingly, "Go to bed early." Chunsheng pursed his lips and nodded.
Early the next morning, Yun Xi came to the room and asked her to try on a dress that had been laid out on the bed, but Su Qingwan really couldn't resist her, so she had to pick a set of ivory floor-length dresses at random. Yun Xi took the trouble to help her try on clothes, "Sister Qingwan, this wedding banquet is not sloppy, and the people who come are among the best people in Shanghai." Besides, even his father is here, and the Gu family's uncles are estimated to be not a few. After hearing this, Su Qingwan couldn't help frowning slightly, Gu Yunxi didn't seem to notice, he circled around Su Qingwan, looked carefully up and down, left and right, and then nodded with satisfaction, "That's it, simple and generous." ”
Chunsheng helped Su Qingwan smooth the long hair behind his shoulders, and there was still worry on his face, "Miss Yunxi, our young lady will ask you." Gu Yunxi waved his hand at her, full of confidence, "Don't worry, Chunsheng, I have everything with me." ”
When he set off in the afternoon, Su Qingwan got into the car with Gu Yunxi, and Zhou Yong followed closely, but Su Qingwan was still a little absent-minded.
When he arrived at the International Hotel, looking at the bustling crowd and flashing lights at the door, Su Qingwan was inevitably nervous, and Yun Xi came over with his ears, "Today is such a big scene, these newspaper reporters will definitely guard it, and maybe there will be a special invitation from the Li family, Sister Qingjuan, don't be nervous, you can go in with me." Su Qingwan nodded seriously, Zhou Yong had already opened the car door for her, Su Qingwan took a deep breath, lifted his feet and got into the car.
Yun Xi walked over and took her hand, and slowly walked towards the door with a smile on her face, the flashing lights were more frequent than she expected, and Su Qingwan just lowered her head slightly. After entering the hall, his heart eased a lot, and Su Qingwan looked up and looked around. The decoration of the hall was more magnificent than ever, and it seemed that it was indeed a grand event, and the ladies and ladies in gorgeous dresses were elegant, smiling and talking, and there were a few faces that even she thought were familiar with. When she raised her eyes, she saw that the eldest lady and the old man of the Su family in the center of the hall were talking to the elders of the Li family, with a smile on their faces.
"Sister Qingwan, I'm going to say hello to my friends at school." Gu Yunxi turned his head sideways to her, and waved his hand in the opposite direction. Su Qingwan looked over, and there were several young ladies on the opposite side who were smiling at them, Su Qingwan smiled, "Go ahead." ”
The soothing music sounded in her ears, surrounded by the laughter of chanting and talking, Su Qingwan slowly paced to the window and sat down, it was already a deep night outside the window, she looked at it and sighed to herself. While she was pondering, a waiter with a bow tie stopped beside her, bent down and said to her, "Miss Su, our lord would like to invite you upstairs to talk." ”
Although the tone is polite, it cannot be refused.
Diametrically opposed to the lively atmosphere on the first floor, the second floor was unusually quiet, and there were people guarding it at intervals, Su Qingwan silently followed the person in front of him, while carefully paying attention to the environment. Thinking that Yun Xi would not see her in a while, he would come to look for her, and Zhou Yong was also guarding outside the door, so he was somewhat relieved.
After walking in the corridor on the second floor for a while, the person beside him stopped in front of the door of a room, he raised his hand and carefully clicked on the door three times, and said in a respectful tone, "General, the person has arrived." ”
Su Qingwan was slightly stunned when she heard this title, and she already knew it in her heart.
"Come in." A deep and majestic voice came from within. The man who had brought her heard the command, and opened the door, and raised his hand to signal her to enter. Su Qingwan walked in slowly, the room was brightly lit and the layout was simple, leaning towards the style of Western decoration. On the sofa on the right sat an elderly man in Tang costume, his expression was not angry and arrogant, and a faint momentum struck.
"Miss Su, please be seated."
Su Qingwan bowed to him politely, "You are the father of the second master." Gu Wei looked at her neither humble nor arrogant posture and smiled, "Miss Su is really different from ordinary women. ”
Su Qingwan smiled faintly and did not speak. Gu Wei raised his head and secretly examined her, chatting in a casual tone, "I heard that Miss Su is from Beiping. Su Qingwan replied quietly, "Yes." ”
Gu Wei glanced at her, and his expression was slightly sharper, "Beiping is a good place, but why did Miss Su come to Shanghai?" The room was silent, and Su Qingwan lowered her eyes slightly, "Is this why the general summoned Qingwan?" ”
Gu Wei couldn't help but show appreciation on his face, "Naturally not." Then he said his true intentions, "Miss Su, I hope you can leave Nianzhi." ”
Su Qingwan was silent.
Seeing her reaction, Gu Wei smiled and continued, "Miss Su can say whatever she wants, and I can satisfy it." Su Qingwan suddenly smiled lightly after hearing this, she raised her head and looked directly at the person opposite, "Second master, he knows that you are doing this." Gu Wei raised his eyes, "He doesn't need to know." ”
Su Qingjuan's face was calm, and he asked softly, "Does the general know that the situation in southern Anhui is good or bad now?" Gu Wei frowned slightly, unable to guess her thoughts, "What does Miss Su mean?" ”
Su Qingwan blessed him with a blessed body, "General, forgive me." Her eyes were firm, and she looked at Gu Wei motionlessly, "The second master's life and death are uncertain now, and Qingwan can't make a promise against his will." ”
Knowing his heart, knowing that he is not an insignificant person to him. Then she can only be worthy of his liking if she faces her own heart.
There's only so much she can do for him.
