Chapter 42: The Glass of Wine
Du Hengnian saw that Mo Qingbai also came up, and the hanging heart finally settled.
"Teacher Mo, I saw a suspicious man come here, and he disappeared." Du Hengnian said in a low voice. "His nose is sunken and his mouth is open, and with such a terrifying face, with my grandfather's face-saving personality, I am sure he was not invited."
Mo Qingbai nodded solemnly, "We can't clean up the Snake Surprise." ”
The two began to search one by one, and when they gently twisted the doorknob lock in front of the door of a guest room, they found that it was locked! It means that the man is most likely hiding in this room. Du Hengnian and Mo Qingbai glanced at each other and left quietly.
Walking to the corner where no one was, Du Hengnian asked, "Teacher Mo, who do you say that person is?" ”
Mo Qingbai was also clueless, shook his head, and then said: "Anyway, he is not a good person, beware of him." ”
"Hmm!" Du Hengnian was embarrassed to say that she fell out of bed that day because she dreamed of this ugly man. But she already had a vague sense of something in her heart.
And after Du Hengxuan saw that Du Hengnian and several people were gone, he remembered that Bai Sihan accompanied Du Hengnian to drink champagne with affection, and Du Hengnian actually vomited after taking a sip!
Slut who can't get on the table! Stupid! Poor Du Hengxuan is perverted and greedy for everything about Bai Sihan, even Du Hengnian drank the remaining champagne, she thought that it contained Bai Sihan's love, and she didn't dislike it was someone else's drink at this time.
Picked up the remaining champagne that Du Hengnian drank just now and drank it in one gulp, maybe it was because this champagne was related to Bai Sihan, in short, she felt that it tasted really good.
The Du family set up a total of ten tables for this birthday banquet, and specially invited the Bai family in the imperial capital, the Zheng family in Yuecheng, the Tong family in Haicheng, and the Zhao family in Lincheng. These four families are honored as guests and sit at a table in a prominent position due north. In addition to relatives and friends, the other nine tables invited some celebrities, media reporters, etc. Of course, the table should be further south, so as to show the dignity of the table on the north side.
Sitting on the main seat of this table is naturally Du Zhenguo, the head of the Du family, and the positions on both sides of him were originally intended to let Du Jingqi and Du Jingchen sit down, because they are all members of the six major families, they obviously have to override the Du family, so on the right side of Du Zhenguo are Bai Sihan, Du Hengnian, Tong Yifan and Mo Qingqing. On the left are Zheng Yan, Zhao Zhixuan, Du Jingqi and Du Jingchen.
Du Zhenguo glanced at Mo Qingqing, unhappy in his heart. glanced at Du Hengnian meaningfully. motioned for her to invite Mo Qingbai to another table.
Feeling Du Zhenguo's gaze, Du Hengnian knew that Du Zhenguo was not satisfied with her bringing Mo Qingbai into this table. So he got up and said slowly and forcefully: "Grandpa, this is my teacher, Mo Qingqing." It is also a private tutor that I specially hired. I know this table is the most expensive of all. But in my eyes, a teacher is more noble than everything, including money, power, and fame that are sought after by the world, and he is the noblest profession under the sun! Engineer of the human soul! Saying that, Du Hengnian walked to Du Zhenguo's side, approached him, and whispered: "Grandpa, Teacher Mo is at this table, which also shows our Du family's character of respecting teachers and valuing education!" ”
As soon as the words fell, a reporter couldn't help but start taking pictures.
"The eldest lady of the Du family is really different!"
"Yes, yes, sensible, understand etiquette, can be described as having both ability and political integrity!"
"At such a young age, it is really rare to have such a feeling!"
For a time, words of praise abounded.
The corners of Mo Qingbai's mouth unconsciously hooked up a smile. "The noblest profession under the sun, the engineer of the human soul." How to wear this high hat and how comfortable.
And Bai Sihan squinted his eyes and looked at Du Hengnian's expression and demeanor, without any trace of ambiguity, he relaxed slightly.
Seeing this, Tong Anqian's mockery at the corners of her mouth became even more obvious. Later, I will let you see the uninhibited appearance of the eldest lady of the Du family who sits in your eyes and is "well-behaved......
The ladies of the Du family are not qualified to sit at this table, and Du Hengnian only sat there because of Bai Sihan's light. They sat southeast of Du Zhenguo's table.
As soon as Tong Anrui looked up, she saw Zheng Yan's smiling appearance, the old fox spirit! I don't know how many times I cursed in my heart.
saw that Du Hengnian was arranged by Bai Sihan's side and was sought after by everyone. Du Hengxuan felt uncomfortable in her heart, and it didn't hurt to hold her fingertips into the flesh.
After everyone sat down, Du Jingqi signaled for the table to be served.
Looking at the maid who came over with dishes and drinks, Du Hengnian's eyes gradually sank. She knew that Tong Anqian's medicine didn't dare to be in dishes, but only in fruit wine.
On the other side, Tong Anqian was snuggling, and glanced at one of the servants holding fruit wine.
The servant nodded slightly, and waited until the dishes were almost ready before bringing a glass of fruit wine to Du Hengnian.
Du Hengnian's eyes were instantly sharp, this maid was so good-looking. Then the corners of his mouth slightly hooked up a touch of coldness, and shook the fruit wine in his hand, and the crimson fruit wine drew an arc of water that was sometimes dark red and sometimes light red in the transparent goblet. She didn't need to look to know that Tong Anqian was staring at her......
There are many ways not to drink this wine, but the reasons are less than satisfactory. I am also worried that Tong Anqian's thief will not die and then order the servant to bring the medicated wine, and then I am afraid that it will not work to use reasons to shirk it. Since Tong Anqian is not afraid of chaos at the banquet, she will use Tong Anqian's hand to push the banquet to the highest @tide, the shocking high @tide!
Du Hengnian approached Bai Sihan, "Sihan, I want to toast with you." ”
The surprise in Bai Sihan's eyes couldn't be hidden, seeing that Du Hengnian no longer called him Bai Shao, did it mean that the relationship had progressed? Said happily: "Okay." ”
When the two of them got up, "Si Han, you can help me get it first." Du Hengnian put the medicated wine glass in Bai Sihan's left hand. Du Hengnian tidied up his skirt, took the wine glass from Bai Sihan's right hand without a trace, followed by the servant who served the wine, and walked to Tong Anqian's table.
"Aunt Tong, Si Han gives you a drink." Bai Sihan solemnly handed the wine glass in his hand to Tong Anqian.
Tong Anqian was flattered for a while, glanced at Du Hengnian, with a warm smile on her face, and said: "Thank you Bai Shao, Hengnian, you have been in the Du family for so long, Auntie has something that is not well taken care of, please understand, let's accompany Bai Shao to drink together!" ”
Du Hengnian nodded and said, "Okay!" "People who don't know the details still think that this is a virtuous stepmother!
The servant behind him quickly poured a glass of wine and served it to Bai Sihan.
The three of them drank together.
Du Hengxuan saw a pair of loving people in front of her, unwilling, jealousy filled her heart, and she drank it one cup after another.
Du Hengnian caught a glimpse of Tong Anqian's eyes jumping with unusual excitement, and the coldness at the corners of his mouth deepened.
He and Bai Sihan returned to Du Zhenguo's table and sat down and began to eat.
At this time, Du Hengxuan felt hot all over her body, and her chest was stuffy, she thought it was because she had drunk too much, and she was afraid that Bai Sihan would see her embarrassed appearance, so she tried to straighten her waist and walk to the second floor.
Du Hengnian nodded to Mo Qingbai.
"Grandpa, I'm a little drunk, I'll go upstairs first." Du Hengnian got up and stroked his forehead: "I'm sorry everyone, I lost my company first." ”
Du Zhenguo glared at Du Hengnian with a sullen face, a dead girl who couldn't get on the stage!
"Go ahead and drink more water." Du Zhenguo said gently.
Tong Yifan watched Du Hengnian leave.
Bai Sihan got up to help Du Hengnian.
"Bai Shao, you are a distinguished guest, so I won't bother you." When Du Hengnian turned to leave, he gave Mo Qingbai a look.
Mo Qingbai got up and followed Du Hengnian away, and when he raised his foot and stepped on the first step, Du Hengnian stared at Tong Anqian for a moment.
Tong Anqian, who had been monitoring Du Hengnian, looked at each other for a few seconds, turned her head to look elsewhere weakly, and then edited a text message: She went upstairs.
Seeing that Tong Anqian no longer looked at herself, she and Mo Qingqing quickly turned around and walked out of the living room.
