Chapter 58
Mr. Gu's 43rd birthday party was destined to be full of friends, and at 10 o'clock in the evening, cars drove from the winding road at the bottom of the mountain to the middle of the mountain. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
This is my second time in Ningyuan. For the first time, this place was just a place for my sister and me to visit. Today, in that white house of Victorian architecture in England, there are people who are very important to me and my sister.
The building of the main house of Ning Yuan is a streamlined two-story western-style building, with a geometric pattern structure, which is exactly the same as the design of the Infirmman Church on the outskirts of the city, the only difference is that the floors of the private manor house are not as majestic as the church.
In the middle of winter, the rare sunset on the mountain is reflected on the giant floor-to-ceiling windows, with a wide and upright milky white frame. The house is surrounded by a wide gravel road, and from the main entrance is the hall, an oval glass sky lantern glows with orange light with the movement of people, and several elegant and vulgar Western-style furnishings are imprinted into the eye, showing the different tastes and hobbies of the main Gu family everywhere.
On the other side of the hall, there are already people dancing in the dance venue that has been set up, and as the new Minister of Education of the government, Mr. Gu is nothing more than a blessing. There are two important divisions in Nanjing this year, one is the Ministry of Communications where He Jiuming, who has just been promoted from vice minister to the main department, and the other is the Ministry of Education, which has just been transferred to Nanjing from Beiping this year. One of the two ministers has been immersed in officialdom for many years, and the other is the master of the Gu Mansion who enjoys the temperament of a famous Confucian in the south of the Yangtze River. Therefore, tonight's gathering on behalf of the supreme magistrate of Nanjing must be extraordinary, and it must be extraordinary.
So that day, when I put the letter in the envelope, a voice in my heart kept telling me that it would be good to see him again, even if it was to see him engaged with my own eyes. Once the heart is shaken, the desire to see that person grows stronger. My sister is right, I want to see him, I want to listen to him, even if it is a breakup, I should make a break with all the unfinished words. So I came, and I came to Ningyuan again with my father, mother, and sister.
On the stove are displayed all kinds of Jingdezhen porcelain from the Ming and Qing dynasties, and on the ivory-colored Bogu shelf, Western glass bottles and oriental snuff bottles complement each other.
From the moment I entered the hall, my eyes were searching for Gu Shaoqing's traces. Unfortunately, I searched every corner of the hall, but I still couldn't see the man. What happened to him? Where did it go? Isn't today the day when Gu Rulin wants to announce the engagement news for him? My sister said that Mr. Gu did not plan to inform Shaoqing of the news in advance, but he told me indirectly.
What about him? Does he know what his father is hiding from him? These **** ignore him, did he go to the embroidery building of Liu's Mansion to explain to me?
Thinking about things in his heart, he didn't notice the movement in front of him, only heard the sound of "oops", but he recklessly bumped into someone.
The woman I hit covered her forehead with one hand and French red wine with the other, and her gorgeous face was full of surprise: "Liu Hanzhao? I didn't expect you to come today. ”
I didn't expect to meet Hideki Fei, one of the protagonists of the incident, soon.
"Miss Fei."
"Didn't you call me Yingshu-san before, why are you so polite today?"
I smiled bitterly in my heart, I used to be only one of my many classmates, but now your words have come true, but I am alone and suffer the pain of separation, how can I not make my heart sad.
And once people are sad, how can they care about the politeness and detachment of the tone?
"Should I congratulate you on making your wish come true?"
Fei Yingshu was stunned at first, but then understood in an instant: "It seems that you know, do you listen to what Shaoqing said?" It seems unlikely, because my father said that this was a private agreement between him and Uncle Gu, and even Shaoqing was kept in the dark and waited for tonight's announcement to find out. Liu Hanzhao, I'm sorry I missed the appointment. I said I wanted to compete fairly with you, but right now I robbed him first, but don't worry, since I hit first, you can also fight back, and whoever gets him between the two of us, I won't be disappointed and angry, really, you believe me! ”
Why am I so angry when she says that? The original bit of sullenness in my heart was also dredged by these few words, what reason do I have to blame her? She just likes him, and it just so happens that she and Gu Fu are a good match, and I was Mr. Gu's concern and obstacle factor at the beginning, and it was my own voluntary choice to give up, what should I say?
"Yes, I see. Thank you for saying that, and I mean it too. It's a pity that I didn't get to know you at school properly, otherwise we would have been very good friends, really, and I mean it. Yingshu-san, you are very honest and straightforward, and the only resentment I have against you has been eliminated, now I just want to find my senior brother, ask him, and listen to what he has to say. ”
"If you look for Shaoqing, I can tell you that he is in the garden, and he seems to have been looking for you for the past two days, so he looks a lot haggard, and it is completely different from that day in the school. He told me that he didn't agree to our two families' engagement, and that he had no idea what his father was going to do beforehand, so he couldn't think of a good way to stop it from happening for the time being, and he was very distressed. So you go to the garden, I don't know what happened between you, but I'm not happy to see him like this, so you go to him, even if it's comforting. ”
