"Sister-in-law......" Gu Tianyou and his wife greeted her.

"Second master, brother and sister, you are here." Liu nodded lightly to Gu Tianyou and his wife, not at all as affectionate as before, and then with a decent smile, he bowed to Gu Tianyuan and said, "Master Hou, I'm late." ”

During this time, Liu Shi has been unwell, Gu Tianyuan will visit her whenever he has time, and he was still sick a few days ago and couldn't see him. Seeing each other again at this moment, she has changed as if she is a different person, with full skin, silky skin, beautiful figure, looking as if she is more than ten years younger, and between her words and demeanors, she exudes a demure and dignified, gentle and atmospheric temperament.

Gu Tianyuan showed a gentle smile at her and said, "It's good that Madame is here, let's go to my mother's side to celebrate her birthday first." ”

Liu Shi moved closer to Gu Tianyuan's side and said to Lu, "I've been in poor health for a while, and I've worked hard for you, but now that I'm better, I really want to thank you." ”

After speaking, she gently put it on the back of his hand, her eyes were full of waves, and she said softly, "Master Hou hasn't been with me for a long time, can you go with me to celebrate your birthday this time." ”

Gu Tianyuan nodded and said, "Let's go." ”

So, the Marquis of Zhenyuan and Mrs. Marquis walked towards the old lady's side together under the gaze of the guests, Lu stood in place, his face was a little pale, Gu Tianyou looked at her with inquiring eyes, Lu shook his head, saying that he didn't know what was going on. The fist she hid in her sleeve was clenched tightly, and her nails sank deep into her palm!

What's going on?

Isn't she still sick? Can't even eat breakfast? Why did you suddenly appear with the demeanor of a housewife? Moreover, the posture is full, the state is excellent, and there is no sick and weak appearance on his face.

What about Mama Zhen? Could it be that this old thing is secretly playing tricks?

The eldest lady walked in front of Mrs. Gu, bowed down and said, "I wish my mother happiness like the East China Sea and longevity than Nanshan." Between words and deeds, she had the demeanor of being a housewife, and instantly crushed the Lu family present, and officially told everyone that she was the eldest lady of the Yuanhou Mansion in this town.

Old Madam Gu looked at her with some surprise and asked, "Are you well?" "Didn't Lu just report that she was still sick?

"Thank you mother, my body is completely well now, and I have prepared a birthday gift these days, please let my mother smile." As he spoke, Liu motioned to Mama Zhou to send a silver fox light fur cloak to the old lady-

"This silver fox is my brother went to the snow mountain to hunt, it is said that it is already a hundred years old, I remembered that the old lady was afraid of the cold, so I specially begged to come over, with the whole silver fox hair made into a cloak, wear it in winter, you are not afraid of the cold."

Mrs. Gu faced the eldest daughter-in-law in front of her, who seemed to have been reborn, and showed a rare approving look, and asked Grandma Sun to accept the gift, and said, "You have a heart, this birthday gift is very rare, go and sit there." ”

When she looked at the Lu family again, there was already a little more displeasure in her eyes, she had been in the back house for decades, and the battle between women was the most clear, but she didn't expect this Lu family to carry her behind her back to make such a stumbling block, and she couldn't help but be disappointed.

Gu Tianyuan and his wife went to the main seat and sat down, Gu Tianyou and his wife sat next to him, Lu kept a smile on his face, but he had already gritted his teeth a hundred times in his heart, and when he noticed the old lady's displeasure, she was like an ant on a hot pot, like a needle felt.

At this time, Gu Qingzhao walked up to Gu Tianyuan and Liu, bowed down and said, "Father, mother." ”

Gu Tianyuan looked at this increasingly excellent son, and felt more and more that he had the demeanor of his youth, so he nodded with satisfaction, "Zhao'er is here." ”

"Zhao'er, come to Mother." Liu lovingly pulled his son to his side and sat down.

Gu Qingwan stood in the dark from afar, carefully observing Lu Shi's expression, and saw her appearance that she obviously hated to the extreme, but had to endure it, and felt that the scene was very comfortable.

She settled down, raised her feet and walked into the birthday banquet hall—

"Mother, look, my sister is here too." Gu Qingzhao saw Gu Qingwan from a distance, happily pulled Liu and pointed at Gu Qingwan and smiled.

Gu Qingzhao's voice was not loud or small, and it just reached the ears of the guests present.

"Is this the eldest lady? It's beautiful......"

Everyone turned around one after another, only to see a girl wearing a goose yellow colored embroidered bamboo leaf plum blossom dress walked in, her face was as delicate and white as jade, goose egg face, eyebrows like willow moon, peach blossom eyes revealed a noble and proud look, the head was obliquely inserted with white red lotus stringed into an arc of red lotus tendrils, plum blossom bead earrings, temperament like a snow lotus on the mountain, cold and noble, quiet as water.

"This eldest lady of the Gu family is really getting more and more beautiful." Mrs. Liu of Shangshu Bureau praised that the last time she saw Gu Qingwan at the banquet in the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion, she felt that this eldest lady of the Gu family was gentle and dignified, and her demeanor was elegant, not as rumored. Seeing you again this time, I only think that this eldest lady is even more beautiful than last time.

"It's beautiful."

"Yes, yes, in this way, the eldest lady is actually better than the second miss."

The eyes of the male guests present couldn't help but fall on Gu Qingwan's body, while the female guests couldn't help but be amazed, they hadn't seen each other for a while, whether it was her appearance, clothes, speech and demeanor, she seemed to have changed.

Gu Qingwan noticed the amazement in everyone's eyes, she nodded lightly to the surroundings decently, the smile on her face was not too blunt, but it was not too flattering to everyone, so she exuded a gentle temperament, which made people feel very comfortable.

First the eldest lady, and then the eldest lady, the mother and daughter appeared appropriately and decently one after the other, secretly suppressing the limelight of the Lu family and Gu Qingyue, and suddenly making people focus all the attention on them.

"Mother, this, this is Gu Qingwan?" Gu Qingyue looked at Gu Qingwan, her eyes revealing undisguised jealousy.

Lu Shi was also stunned, couldn't help blinking, and said, "It's her, it's her." ”

Usually, Gu Qingwan doesn't like to dress up at home, let alone apply grease and powder, and even the gorgeous jewelry she usually wears because she is tired and panicked. Lu's mother and daughter have long been accustomed to Gu Qingwan's plain dress, and today's sudden dress up is not eye-catching.

Gu Qingwan's foundation is no worse than Gu Qingyue, after all, her father's appearance is very high, and her facial features are more delicate than Gu Qingyue, especially she has a gentle and clean temperament, which is not much stronger than Gu Qingyue, who is twisting and pinching, and who is coquettish.

"I really can't get used to her face!" Gu Qingyue's fist secretly hung on the table.

But the corners of Lu's lips suddenly showed a smile, and said, "Don't be angry, the plot of the meeting must be very exciting, let's just watch from the wall." ”

"Mother?" Gu Qingyue looked at Lu Shi in confusion, and then looked at Gu Qingwan, as if she suddenly understood something, and a smile spread on her face.

Gu Qingzhao sat at the banquet, through the crowd, his eyes fell on Gu Qingwan's body with joy. Seeing that she was happily chatting with her aunt and cousins, he also felt a lot more relaxed.

This time, the eldest aunt and third aunt of the Li Mansion and her two cousins Li Bingdie and Li Bingyu all came, and the two aunts and two cousins were very happy to call her over, and their attitudes were like two people compared to before.

"Thanks to the doctor you invited Wan'er, Yuan Zhan's leg is recovering well. In the past, your aunt had a bad attitude towards you, so don't complain about your aunt. The eldest aunt Fang Shi took her hand and said affectionately.

"How so. You are Wan'er's relatives, how can Wan'er complain about her aunt. Wan'er is now looking forward to her eldest cousin's leg getting better soon. Gu Qingwan smiled from the bottom of her heart.

"Our Wan'er is really getting more and more beautiful, and the more I look at it, the more I like it." The third aunt took Gu Qingwan's other hand and admired it from the bottom of her heart.

"Thank you for the compliment, the two cousins are also beautiful." Gu Qingwan chatted with a few of them for a while, she was very good at talking, her mouth was not sweet, and she coaxed her aunt and cousins to be happy.

"Wan'er will go to give her grandmother's birthday gift first, and then come over and talk to her aunt and cousin later." After speaking, Gu Qingwan walked towards Old Madam Gu.

Gu Qingwan walked up to Mrs. Gu, knelt down, kowtowed solemnly, and said, "Granddaughter wishes that grandmother will be as blessed as the East China Sea, longevity than Nanshan, and a hundred sons and thousands of grandchildren." After speaking, she presented a picture scroll with both hands, unfolded it, and said, "Grandmother, this is the picture of "Hundred Sons and Thousand Grandchildren" painted by her granddaughter. ”

""Hundred Sons and Thousand Grandchildren"?" When everyone heard this, they got up and looked over—

I saw that this is a picture three feet wide and one zhang long, Gu Qingwan painted everyone in the family, among which Mrs. Gu is in the most central and authoritative position, implying her lofty status in this family.

Zhang Wentao, a famous painter in Beijing, saw this flower and couldn't help but admire, "The eldest lady's painting skills are simply superb, looking at the posture and movements of this character, it took a lot of effort, Zhang admired." ”

Gu Qingwan listened to the painter's praise, and said modestly, "The master has won the award, and Qingwan's class has an axe." ”

"With such a large painting, and the children and grandchildren of the Gu family have been painted on it, it must have been prepared for a long time, the eldest lady really has a heart." Tobe Liang is humane.

Listening to everyone's praise, Gu Qingwan always had a slight smile on her face, and Gu Qingyue's eyes showed unwillingness, and her hands tightly twisted the handkerchief together.

"Press it again, don't show the horse's feet, and their mother and daughter will be proud tonight, after tonight, it will be useless for her to paint anything." Lu quietly walked to Gu Qingyue's side, held her hand, and said.

"Mother, when will I start acting, I can't wait for a moment!" A smile appeared on the corner of Gu Qingyue's mouth, but her mouth was almost vicious.

"The show is about to begin, and I will send her to hell tonight." There was a hint of coldness in the depths of Lu's eyes, and he said.
