Chapter 29
The prestige of the old man of the Tao family in City A is very high, and on the day of his birthday, the famous families with heads and faces have come, and the banquet is in the evening, which is set up in the Qingfu Villa in the suburbs.
Xia Zhi came over with the old man Xia, Xie Junnan came with his mother, and when the two families met, they greeted each other, and Xia Zhi and Xie Junnan naturally stood together.
The guests came one after another, basically familiar faces, after greeting each other, they dispersed, each looking for their own acquaintance, many young people gathered together, chatting enthusiastically.
There is a middle-aged man in Tang costume standing at the gate of the courtyard, specially registering the gift money, the gift money is placed in a box, the gift has a display area, and a row of long tables are placed on the lake in the west courtyard, which is placed on the same place, marked with the name of the giver.
Xia Zhi and Xie Junnan walked to the lake and watched the gifts one by one, Xie Junnan smacked his tongue at a pure gold Buddha, "Luxury, really extravagant!" ”
Xia Zhi glanced at it, "The person who delivers things must be a local tyrant, a nouveau riche halfway, do you believe it or not?" ”
Xie Junnan will be suspicious to look at the name written under the gift, and it is really as Xia Zhi said, this person is basically not a person in this circle, and he is afraid that it will cost money to get the poster.
"And what did you send?" Xie Junnan looked back at Xia Zhi and said with a smile.
Xia Zhi raised his chin behind him and smiled smugly.
Xie Junnan looked in the direction she signaled, and saw a group of people in the distance looking at something around the birthday star, which was quite long, like a painting.
Xia Zhi said, "Zhang Daqian's painting." ”
Xie Junnan nodded in admiration.
Xia Zhi said with a smile, "The Tao family's scholarly disciples for generations, the leading boss of the education industry, naturally like calligraphy and paintings more, I gave this my grandfather's idea, how about it, okay!" ”
Xie Junnan scratched his head, "That, it's also your idea to let my mother send the white jade Guanyin, why don't you give my mother some cultural ideas?" ”
Xia Zhi said, "Guanyin itself is a cultural ......" She swept her eyes over an oil painting, and suddenly fell silent, looking at it without moving for a long time.
This painting seems to have magical powers, just the most ordinary scenery, but it makes people feel as if they have walked in, and they are reluctant to come out, the path in the middle of the field...... I really want to walk in it!
Someone once said that good music and painting can communicate with people's hearts.
"Summer solstice!"
Xie Junnan called, she came back to her senses, walked over, her fingers stroked the painting, a little concave and convex, some parts of the picture have been three-dimensional, and she looked at the name of the painter under her name, "", I have never heard of it, and I don't know if it is the abbreviation of the name.
"Does Miss Xia like this painting?"
The familiar and hated voice suddenly floated over, as if striking her wandering mind, and her fingers moved to the note with the name of the giver, pressing on the three words "Zhou Jinshi", and her fingers popped away as if they were burned.
Zhou Jinshi stood two steps away from her side, wearing a suit and leather shoes, under the halo of the lamp, his face showed a cold and hard outline, staring at her every move, every look.
Xie Junnan also saw Zhou Jinshi's name under the oil painting, turned his head to Zhou Jinshi and said, "Where did Mr. Zhou buy this painting, Xia Zhi seems to like it very much, and I also want to buy a pair for her." ”
Zhou Jinshi's gaze moved from Xia Zhi to Xie Junnan, and smiled faintly, "Oh, yes, I'll ask the assistant to contact Mr. Xie later, and I can help you buy one." ”
"Summer solstice!" Wu Xiaoxiao suddenly appeared, slapped her hand on Xia Zhi's shoulder, and followed her cousin Jing Yan behind her.
Jing Yan and Zhou Jinshi nodded and signaled, the two men are of the same height, both are thin, personable, and have a pair of delicate and picturesque facial features, which are highly recognizable and seductive, but one is soft, and the other is cold and hard.
"This is your boyfriend?" Wu Xiaoxiao narrowed her eyes, looked at Xie Junnan, and looked at it, this person is also a high-class talent in your circle, but there is still some distance compared to the handsome guy Wen Anxu, and his appearance and bearing are not as good as the two who are clinking glasses next to him, how can he be hit by the summer solstice...... When I just walked over from afar, I saw Xia Zhi talking and laughing with him, which seemed to be very harmonious!
"Hello, Xie Junnan." He has the advantage of being very enthusiastic about everyone, lively and cheerful, and more likable.
Wu Xiaoxiao smiled and gently shook Xie Junnan's hand, "Wu Xiaoxiao." "It looks like it's a bit more individual.
Xie Junnan chatted with Wu Xiaoxiao for a while, but they both felt a little agreeable, and the two laughed and laughed again and again, and they were very happy.
Xia Zhi was suddenly free, sipping red wine, and on the other side of her, Jing Yan and Zhou Jinshi were talking about something, with formulaic smiles on their faces.
There were a few splashing sounds in the lake, Xia Zhi glanced at it, but saw two water birds swimming in the middle of the water, which was very interesting, she subconsciously walked forward, looking for a clearer place to see.
I got off the promenade and walked to a few large stones, surrounded by a sparse reed, plus water birds, at the beginning of the moon, the moonlight shone into the mirror-like water, shattered, like stars,
She stood slim on the shore, dressed in a long bandeau gown, a pale yellow Zou Ju on her left chest, the long skirt was beige, until her feet were bare, her long soft hair was blown away by the breeze, her graceful posture crossed the light and shadow, and her delicate facial features were trapped in haze, so beautiful that people could not blaspheme.
Countless eyes involuntarily fixed on her.
"Miss Xia!"
"Hmmm......"
She was startled by the sudden interruption, and while spinning her gaze from the water to her back, her high heels slipped on the stone, and the whole person fell backwards, "Ah......hh
A pair of hands hurriedly reached over and touched the hand she stretched out, but it was just a fingertip touch to a fingertip, and they quickly separated, and in a burst of exclamations, Miss Xia fell into the water with a "plop".
The initiator jumped after him.
Another "pop".
After the two water holes, the two people in the water immediately stood up, and the water was only half of the person's body.
The people who ran over couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, fortunately the water was not deep.
The fourth young master of the Fu family pulled a hibiscus-like beauty out of the water to walk ashore step by step, and slipped twice on the stones on the shore, and several people who had already walked to him hurriedly pulled the two of them up.
The two of them were soaking wet, and their clothes were light-colored and translucent.
Fu Mingshuo was better for a man, so he unbuttoned his collar and shook his hair when he felt uncomfortable.
Xia Solstice is not optimistic, the clothes are very transparent, except for the thicker chest, other places are a little indescribable, Fu Mingshuo blocked in front of her, isolating the sight of some people.
Wu Xiaoxiao scratched his body and found that he was only wearing bandeau clothes, and he had nothing to take off, so he took off Xie Junnan's blazer as soon as he stretched out his hand, and hurriedly ran over to put it on Xia Zhi, and chose to cover it.
Xie Junnan was still stunned, his clothes were gone, he straightened his tie, and when he reacted, Xia Zhi was still his girlfriend in name, so he hurriedly pushed aside the crowd and went up to protect it, "Let Jean, let Jean!" ”
After a while, the Tao family brought the staff to come over with towels to surround the two of them and escort them to change clothes.
Fortunately, the young master of the master's family prepared a few more sets of clothes for herself when she came here, Fu Mingshuo and Tao Linzhuo's figure are about the same, and his clothes fit very well, Tao Linsha is about the same height as Xia Zhi, but she is plumper than Xia Zhi, Xia Zhi wears her skirt, which is slightly loose, and the others are fine.
The two of them were served hot tea in their hands and sat at the table of the Eight Immortals next to the screen.
Although it is already May, the suburbs are still a little cool at night, and the water is cold to the bone.
The host was thoughtful and it was necessary to drink some hot tea to get rid of the cold.
"I'm sorry to frighten you, you guys." Tao Linsha said with a smile.
"You're welcome, it's me who was careless." Fu Mingshuo said with a smile.
"Then you drink some tea and rest first, I'll go out first."
Tao Linsha went out, Fu Mingshuo blew on the teacup, and looked sideways at Xia Zhi, "Miss Xia, I'm sorry, I ...... just now"
Xia Zhi took a sip of tea and raised his eyes, "It's okay, it's just an accident, don't mind." ”
Both smiled at the same time.
Fu Mingshuo said, "I just wanted to say that this time I finally didn't admit Miss Xia wrong, but Miss Xia fell into the water......"
Xia Zhi thought that it seemed that he hadn't seen him a few times, but most of them were when she was embarrassed, and this time it was easy for her to be embarrassed, but she was embarrassed by him.
Someone knocked on the door, and Wu Xiaoxiao's voice came in, "Xia Zhi, have you changed your clothes?" ”
The waiter who poured the tea went over and opened the door.
As soon as Wu Xiaoxiao came in, she was first attracted by the interior decoration and Xia Zhi's classical cheongsam, "I'll go and act in a costume drama!" She was followed by Xie Junnan and Jing Yan, and her eyes stayed on Xia Zhi.
Xie Junnan, a person who has a sweetheart, can't help but feel his heart beating, I have to say that this Miss Xia is indeed very beautiful, a plain cloud brocade cheongsam outlines her curves, and her face after coming out of the water is even more crystal clear, pure like a white hibiscus flower.
When he walked out of the attic and appeared in front of everyone again, the two people who had just fallen into the water immediately became the focus of the audience, attracting sideways glances from time to time.
Fu Sishao originally brought his own spotlight, and there was never a shortage of topics in him, and the woman who fell into the water with her had to make people reverie.
Looking at Xia Zhi and Fu Mingshuo, who were chatting in front, Wu Xiaoxiao had to remind Xie Junnan, "The four young people of the Fu family have always liked to cuckold people. ”
The corners of Xie Junnan's mouth stiffened, and he really wanted to say, what does it matter to me, Xiaoxi has nothing to do with him, but what he said could only be like this, "I believe her." He glanced at Xia Solstice with a flat gaze.
Jing Yan glanced at Xie Junnan and was silent on the side.
"My heart is so big!" Wu Xiaoxiao patted Xie Junnan on the shoulder with admiration, and said, "I heard that you have been living abroad, and it has not been long since you came back, so I haven't heard much of Fu Sishao's fame!" ”
Xie Junnan said decisively, "I've heard of him, who in this circle hasn't heard of him, even if I'm abroad, there are often rumors of his reputation in the Chinese circle, and those who don't know him are embarrassed to say that they are from this circle." ”
