Chapter Ninety-One: The Night Banquet
H2 > pulled his paws out of Chen Hua's mouth expressionlessly, Xu Yuelin looked at the slightly pale sky outside, and couldn't sleep. I wanted to go outside to have a look, but because of the nobility of the big family, I had to wait until dawn.
finally heard movement outside, Xu Yuelin jumped up from the bed.
After a brief scrubbing, I left the house refreshed.
It's only May, the weather is neither hot nor cold, the morning breeze is cool, inhale outside, and the fresh air goes straight to the bottom of the lungs.
Looking up at the sky again, it is as clear as a wash, indicating that it is another good day today.
After bouncing around the courtyard, I returned to the house and saw that everyone who should have gotten up had gotten up, and breakfast had been served. The thick white porridge has fine petals floating on it, and with the thin skin of the soup dumplings where you can see the soup inside, the leaf-shaped roasted wheat with four fillings rolled with boiling steam, and the burritos sprinkled with sesame seeds, Xu Yuelin's saliva is secreted rapidly.
"Eh, Yuelin, where did you go early in the morning? I didn't even see you when I woke up! β
Xu Yuelin gave her a roll of the eyes, "People with a head full of chicken legs, how can they still see me." β
"Hey, I seem to have dreamed of chicken legs last night, how do you know?" Chen Huameng stared at her, "Am I talking in my dreams again?" β
"It's not just talking in a dream!" Placing his paw in front of her, "See, the row of tooth marks on it is your handiwork." What kind of grudge do I have with you, and the good ones want to gnaw me? "It also disturbed me a good dream.
When the four people next to them saw it, there was really a row of shallow tooth marks, and they were immediately happy, but Gu Duan's smile was more arrogant, while the other three were more reserved.
"If you want me to say, she has no grudge against you, but she just mistook pig's trotters for chicken legs!" Cheng Chuliang said.
ββ¦β¦ Don't stop me! Cheng Chu, I want to die with you today! Xu Yuelin pounced in front of Cheng Chu, and then cleaned up the breakfast in the bowl in front of him with lightning speed, "Roar, it's all forehead drops!" β
Cheng Chu was not panicked, and when she was finished, she moved Gu Duan's plate to her side, "Don't be afraid, I have Gu Duan." β
...... "Hehe, sooner or later, the barbecue festival will burn you two dog men who show affection!"
After breakfast, the Gu family's mansion is really busy. Xu Yuelin didn't want to go out and make trouble, so she stood in the small pavilion in the courtyard and looked out, and found that rows of cars had stopped at the foot of the originally quiet mountain. The main road, which was originally not popular, has a flow of people coming this way. Sure enough, it's the 70th birthday, and so many people came!
In line with the principle that more things are better than less, Xu Yuelin and the others only shrank in the corner at the edge of the hall even at the noon birthday banquet.
Gu Mingquan also saw this situation, but he didn't specifically ask them to sit in the middle seat. A wood show in the forest wind will destroy it; Second, most of them are still young, even if they are introduced to everyone now, they may not be able to withstand it, and it is not good to help them grow. However, seeing that they can restrain themselves from being in the limelight on such an occasion, Gu Mingquan is still very satisfied, not to mention ability, but this character and bearing are enough.
Compared with the leisure of these guests, Gu Jingzhou was relatively busy. As a grandson of the Gu family, he has to greet people in front of people, and he has to take care of the guests after people.
Xu Yuelin sat in the corner, occasionally glancing over to see the person in the center of the crowd.
To be honest, Gu Jingzhou is really handsome and vigorous today. He's really very suitable for black.,The Chinese cardigan looks very tall when worn on the body.,Even if the color is black,It also makes people feel very beautiful.γ
It's really poisoned!
Xu Yuelin muttered, looked away, and felt as if she was a little addicted.
In all fairness, she is not a person who doesn't understand anything, she suffered from love in her early years, and then gradually understood that she must not be addicted to men, she only needs to love him for three points, keep three points to love her family, and the remaining four points to love herself, so that life will be more wanton.
In the past, no matter who she was with, she always maintained this mentality. But now that I met Gu Jingzhou, I felt a little unable to stop the car.
Could it be that the person who has been created by himself is too perfect?
Looking at the people in the crowd who were smiling and listening to the laughter of the elders, they couldn't help but smile, but it wasn't like that!
The birthday banquet was lively, and in the afternoon, there was still a drama to sing. Xu Yuelin was stunned, although she felt that it was very necessary to protect the national intangible cultural heritage, but she felt that it was not bad to wait until she was old to support her. Then he went back to the yard with the others.
There is also a banquet in the evening, this time held in the back garden, which is a more private one. So those who were not invited left first, and those who were invited stayed.
After Xu Yuelin learned the news, she thought that she didn't seem to have prepared any dresses or anything, so she might as well not go to join in the fun at night. As a result, they were told that the Gu family had already prepared their clothes.
The guests of the eldest young master are all distinguished guests!
There was no need to be instructed to know this, the moment they stepped into the Gu family's mansion, someone had already prepared a proper preparation for them.
Gu Jingzhou stood in front of the Duobao Pavilion, playing with a delicate box in his hand.
After a while, someone outside greeted the door.
"Come in!"
It was a woman who came in, holding a large clothes box in her hand: "Young Master, you have brought what you wanted." β
Gu Jingzhou walked in front of her, stretched out his hand to lift the lid of the box, saw the aqua blue silk fabric inside, smiled, and put the wooden box in his hand, "Go back and talk to Mother Wang, and ask her to go and coil the hair for Miss Xu." β
It's not that Gu Jingzhou is eccentric, it's that Chen Hua's second goods dislike that his hair is too long and difficult to take care of, so he cut his short hair to the ears.
Therefore, when she opened Xu Yuelin's box and saw that there was a delicate white jade hairpin inside, she immediately regretted eating three more bowls of rice.
"I didn't cut my hair if I knew I wouldn't have it, and I've never worn a hairpin! Wow, I must have long hair! βQAQβ¦β¦
Xu Yuelin took the white jade hairpin and looked at the sunshine, "This thing should be quite valuable......
In the middle of the afternoon, an old woman came to their house. The old woman was very old and her hair was gray, but she was in good spirits and physically tough.
Looking at Xu Yuelin's hair, there was a burst of praise: "Miss, your hair is so good, supple, smooth and tough."
Xu Yuelin was embarrassed, as if after the task was completed, her appearance had not changed much, but the details gradually became refined. The skin is fair and ruddy, and the hair is dark and healthy. The people who couldn't be found by throwing them into the crowd slowly came out like this.
Coiling hair is a very complicated job, but Xu Yuelin only saw the old woman's fingers in the back, and the strands of hair that were originally draped on her shoulders were wrapped around the top of her head.
"Mother-in-law, what kind of bun is this?" Because it is not like a simple coil hair at all, and then thinking of the Gu family, Xu Yuelin naturally thought of this.
The old woman laughed, and the folds on her face moved, "This is called Liuyun Bun, is Miss still satisfied?" β
Seeing the casual and delicate bun in the cloisonnΓ© enamel mirror, Xu Yuelin was overjoyed, when she was a child, she especially liked the ancient hair Youmu, and today it has been realized. "Mother-in-law, can you teach me this?" It's okay in the future, just play around by yourself, and then go out and show off.
"Miss wants to like it, and the old body is naturally willing to teach." The old woman said with a smile.
Later, Chen Hua also pounced, "I want to learn too." "I can't use it now, but I can use it later.
Okay, it's rare for someone to want to learn, so I'll teach you one today. Next time I have the chance, I'll teach you the rest. β
The old man seemed to be very happy, and he really wasted half an afternoon's work on these two people.
When sending the old woman out, Xu Yuelin and Chen Hua were very embarrassed, a little worried that when they delayed the old man's home, they wondered if they should talk to Gu Jingzhou about the situation.
Later, Xu Yuelin learned that this old woman was not a general descendant of the Gu family, but Gu Jingzhou's father's nurse. In the Gu family, even Gu Jingzhou respected the old man very much.
In the evening, the guests all went to the middle of the empty lotus pond in the back garden.
The banquet is placed in a long pavilion in the middle of the lotus pond, and there are nine-curved bridges in the surrounding directions. As the saying goes, like gathers like, people divide into groups, the older and the older are chatting together, and the young are getting together with the young.
Xu Yuelin and her entourage, because of their appearance, received attention from all sides as soon as they came over. Especially Xu Yuelin, the hem of the long skirt of the aqua blue dress is fluffy, the silk fabric is swaying in the scenery, and the skin is more and more plump as jade, the hair is all coiled up, and on the side of the delicate bun, only a white magnolia hairpin is exposed there, and the whole person looks elegant and noble.
"Who are they?" After the exclamation, the people around whispered questions.
In the crowd, a small number of people felt a little familiar.
"Hey, isn't this the girl Gu Shao said to send her back last time? It's been a while, and it's beautiful again! It's almost unrecognizable. β
"I seem to remember when you say that."
And the others who were not there that day couldn't help but ask, "What?" Gu Shao sent the girl home? Just kidding! "That guy who is not interesting and has no interest in sending girls home?
"I can't lie to you, I've seen it with my own eyes." Speaking of the beginning of Balabala's will be the situation of the day. Of course, just because they're gossiping here doesn't mean everyone else is happy.
"Hey, be quiet, Sister Su is still there!"
"Huh?" When the man saw it, Su Jingwan's face not far away had sunk.
Tonight's banquet was private, but most of the people present were people who were friends with the Gu family. It can be said that those who can be invited are all distinguished guests recognized by the Gu family.
How did this little annoying trash fish end up here? R1152
