Chapter 1 Birthday Dinner
Yun Ziyu woke up from her sleep sweating profusely, and saw Su Xue's hand in the air, looking at her with a worried expression: "Miss, are you having a nightmare again?" ”
Yun Ziyu slowly exhaled: "I'm fine." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Su Xue wiped her sweat with a wet handkerchief: "Miss Shen has already made two phone calls, if you don't go, I'm afraid she will leave a full house of guests to pick you up." ”
Yun Ziyu agreed, her pounding heart slowly calmed down, she got up and changed into the snow-colored entwined lotus cheongsam that she had prepared a few days ago, and let Su Xue help her wipe her face and comb her hair. She was born as delicate as snow, Su Xue only curled her long crow-blue hair to one side, and inserted a transparent green jade hairpin, which made her whole face more and more graceful and elegant.
When she arrived, the guests had not yet arrived, and the car drove into the Shen family's garden. At this time, the sky had not yet darkened, and the glass lamps in the Shen family's garden had all been lit up, like stars intersecting with the sunset in the sky. Soothing music flows slowly with the water of the fancy fountain in front of the door, and the water column constantly changes shape, as if to express the warmest welcome to the guests.
Uncle Rong, the housekeeper, waited at the door early, and when he saw that it was the Yun family's car, he walked quickly, opened the car door for her personally, and smiled gently: "Didn't President Yun come?" ”
Uncle Rong is the old housekeeper of the Shen Mansion, watching them grow up since childhood, Yun Ziyu didn't dare to hold it up, and shouted with a smile: "Uncle Rong!" He also said, "My father's chamber of commerce still has something to do, so he sent me to be a representative." This answer is decent.
Uncle Rong nodded: "Come up, the eldest lady has asked several times." ”
Zi Yu nodded and thanked him, went upstairs familiarly, and halfway through, he saw Shen Junyi lying on the railing and beckoning to her: "Why did you come now?" We've been talking to you several times. ”
She was followed by two little sisters, and when she heard Shen Junyi say this, she also nodded.
Today is Shen Junyi's twentieth birthday. Shen Junyi is the palm bead of Inspector Shen Muhua in Minzhou, and all the people with heads and faces in Minzhou have been invited.
When Ziyu heard her say this, she smiled slightly, raised her hand and touched her earlobe: "No wonder I feel my ears are hot, it turns out that you people are talking bad behind your back!" As she spoke, she went upstairs with her skirt on her sleeve.
A girl in a beige lace dress who followed Shen Junyi's eyes lit up, and pulled her up and down: "Where is this cheongsam made of rumors?" It's beautiful! Her name is Fan Xueqin, and she and another girl in the blue dress, Le Zhengmei, are classmates of Yun Ziyu and Shen Junyi, and they studied at the Church Women's University together.
"Looks good, right?" Yun Ziyu smiled, "This is my mother's own hand!" There was a bit of smugness in his tone.
Junyi also admired: "It's so beautiful, next time I'll ask Aunt Yun to make one for me!" ”
Ziyu immediately agreed, and winked at Junyi: "Don't say one, my mother is also happy to say ten!" When she said this, Shen Junyi lowered her head slightly, embarrassed.
Le Zhengmei said: "Ziyu is beautiful, she looks good in anything, but don't steal the limelight from Junyi." I heard that Jiang Shaoshuai will also come ......" her tone was a little worried, and with some longing for the opposite sex for girls of this age.
Shen Junyi took a sip, and the look of disdain flashed in her eyes: "Phew, don't be ashamed to say such things!" ”
Fan Xueqin lowered her voice and said, "I heard that Jiang Shaoshuai is a playboy with the best number in Minzhou City, and he was competing with my second brother for the red roses of the Big Red Mansion last month......" She knew that she had missed her mouth, and her expression was shy.
Yun Ziyu listened to it on the side, pushed Shen Junyi, and said with a smile: "Why don't you hurry up and change your clothes?" Just wear this to meet guests? Shen Junyi was wearing a silver satin cheongsam, and her hair was made yesterday with spiral curls, the most popular hairstyle for girls nowadays.
At today's banquet, the people who come are either rich or expensive, so she naturally won't go to meet guests in homely clothes. Shen Junyi changed into a lace dress that had been prepared early in the morning, and the bright pink color made her skin more and more fine porcelain, white and smooth. The maid Jiajia pinned a pink diamond crown to her, and the whole person suddenly dazzled, like a princess who came out of a Western fairy tale.
Fan Xueqin and Le Zhengmei are not from a wealthy background, where have they seen this? I couldn't take my eyes off it at once, and I couldn't stop admiring. provoked Shen Junyi to pull Yun Ziyu and bite her ears in private: "I knew that I wouldn't let them come." ”
Azusa chuckled when she heard it.
When they arrived downstairs, the living room was already full of guests, and the attendees were indeed the children of the high-ranking family. At this moment, Ziyu really believed that Inspector Shen held this birthday banquet because he had the intention of befriending the family and choosing a son-in-law. She couldn't help but secretly regret it.
The Yun and Shen families are good families, and the third brother Yun Ziqian is two years older than them, and Shen Junyi can be regarded as childhood sweethearts, but because their brother and sister stayed in France for two years to study, after coming back, the third brother and Junyi have little contact.
Ziyu found a place to sit down with Fan Xueqin and Le Zhengmei, although it was a corner, when she raised her head, she could see Shen Junyi standing beside her father to greet the guests. Shen Junyi is polite, generous, and smiling, and it is pleasing to the eye when she looks at it, and Ziyu can't help but think in her heart, how good it would be if the third brother didn't go to the Northland.
Just as he was thinking about it in his heart, he heard Uncle Rong's raised voice coming from the door, as if a famous person was shouting: "Jiang Dujun, Jiang Gongzi has arrived!" ”
In the hall, the crystal chandeliers are thousands of branches, shining brightly, and the Russian orchestra is playing Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto in D major.
Ziyu sat quietly in the corner, gently shaking the tall glass in her hand, admiring the fragrance of clothes and sideburns in front of her through the thick amber liquor.
On the side, Fan Xueqin patted her arm gently: "Look, look, that's Jiang Shaoshuai!" ”
Yun Ziyu raised his head and saw Shen Muhua walking in with Jiang Shixun, who was dressed in an iron-gray uniform, and the two exchanged pleasantries as they walked. Inspector Shen's demeanor was very polite and courteous, and Jiang Dujun was also smiling, which was very inconsistent with the rumored short-tempered marshal.
"Young Marshal Jiang is so handsome! You see......"
They were talking about the young man who followed Jiang Shixun, dressed in an off-white suit, with meticulously combed hair and shiny oil. If you want to say how handsome she is, Yun Ziyu really doesn't think it, she doesn't know about others, just how many brothers she has, which one of them stands out and doesn't stand out from the crowd, Yushu is in the wind?
As if feeling their gaze, the young marshal Jiang also glanced over the side.
Le Zhengmei and Fan Xueqin glanced at each other and couldn't help but snicker.
"I'll go to the bathroom." Ziyu stood up and owed a debt.
As the saying goes: Those who are close to Zhu are red and those who are close to ink are black, and if you stay with vulgar people for a long time, you will become stupid. She doesn't think she's much nobler than them, she just doesn't like to peep behind people's backs.
After making up the powder from the bathroom, the dinner party had already begun, and Ziyu had just used some snacks in Grand's room, and she was not hungry at this time, but only symbolically ate a little something.
Then came the ball, according to the rules, the male and female hosts should dance the first dance, but Shen Muhua has been widowed for more than three years due to the death of his wife, and Shen Junyi has not had a boyfriend, so it was decided that the father and daughter would start the dance.
Ziyu stood behind Fan Xueqin and Le Zhengmei, listening to them whispering, discussing who Jiang Shaoshuai would invite to the first dance. It seems that there is nothing, and it always feels like a gaze falls on her.
Look up to look for it, there are so many people, but there is no way to find it.
Shen Muhua walked to the center of the dance floor with his daughter's hand, but Uncle Rong squeezed in at this time and shouted: "Master! Whisper a few words to Shen Muhua. Shen Muhua's expression was solemn, and then he apologized to the crowd: "I'm very sorry, Shen has something to deal with, please stay for a while!" ”
Yun Ziyu noticed that Jiang Dujun pushed and pushed Jiang Shaoshuai, but Jiang Shaoshuai stood still and did not move. Jiang Shixun immediately laughed: "If your niece doesn't mind, this governor wants to invite you to dance the first dance." ”
Shen Junyi had a reserved smile on the corner of her mouth, and she pulled up the hem of her skirt and owed it: "Junyi's honor!" ”
