Chapter 10: The Banquet

I was depressed, and I only got up in the afternoon, and Yi Qi Wanxi fell asleep when the sky was about to white.

No one came to call her, Yi Qi Wanxi slept until noon, she opened the door, only to find that there was a maid outside the door. Obviously waiting for her. And that maid is serving Yi Qi Mancao, and her name is Yiyun. Seeing her, Yiyun saluted and said respectfully, "Third Miss."

Yi Qi Wanxi held her hand on the door frame and asked, "You don't serve the vines in the Luyang Pavilion, what are you doing here?"

"With your invitation, Miss Fourth asked Yiyun to send it to you." Yiyun said, took out an invitation card from his sleeve, and presented it to Yi Qi Wanxi with both hands.

"Who sent it?" Yi Qi asked gently.

He also replied: "It was sent by a Japanese businessman."

Yi Qi was stunned, raised her eyes slightly, raised her hand to accept the invitation, opened it, looked at the handwriting on it, and asked, "Daddy will go, right?"

"The master will go."

"Isn't it usually an invitation to Daddy?" The corners of Yi Qi's mouth raised slightly, and his tone was also a little smiling, "Why did he send it to everyone?" As he spoke, he closed the invitation and said softly in a voice that only he could hear, "It's also heartfelt." ”

Yiyun didn't hear the second half of her sentence clearly, lowered his head and thought for a moment, and replied, "Yiyun doesn't know."

Yi Qi looked at Yiyun gently, chuckled, turned around and started, and said softly: "It's right if you don't know, it's strange if you know."

When Yiyun heard this, he was puzzled, but he didn't dare to say anything, and looked up at Yi Qiwanxi's back as he gradually moved away.

Although there are many Japanese businessmen who have intersections with the Yiqi family, there is only one person who can intersect with Yiqi Wanxi, and the name on the invitation ———— Mochizuki Collection. Mochizuki set, I used to come to Yiqi Mansion often, and Yiqi Wanxi has also seen it several times.

Before seeing Mochizuki, Yi Qi Wanxi thought that the Japanese were rude, arrogant, rude, and unsophisticated. Fierce in appearance, short in stature, dressed in a kimono, with the Mediterranean hair of a samurai, and a beard on each chin, it looks very funny.

And Mochizuki subverted Yi Qiwanxi's cognition.

The first time I saw Mochizuki was one morning in the autumn when she was twelve. The sun was very good that day, and the breeze was just right, and Yi Qi Wanxi was called up early by his father Yi Qi Mingzhi, saying that an important guest would come. Although Yi Qi Wanxi was sleepy, she still suppressed her sleepiness and sat in the back garden with Yi Qi Mingzhi and waited. Yi Qi Wanxi sat bored, so she thought of Yi Qi vine grass and asked Yi Qi Mingzhi: "Daddy, where is the fourth sister?"

"Go out with your mother." Yi Qi Mingzhi replied, and stopped talking.

The sun is gradually warming, the osmanthus flowers in the garden are blooming well, and the air is full of the fragrance of osmanthus flowers.

Yi Qi Wanxi wore a concubine-colored velvet balloon sleeve dress, sat on the chair, looked at the laurel trees around her, and read out: "It's not a human species, it comes from the middle of the moon." Guanghan is fragrant a little, blowing all over the mountain. Yin fell, looked back at Yi Qi Mingzhi, and asked again, "Daddy, how long will it take for the important guest you mentioned to arrive?" "The sun was shining on her, it was beautiful and quiet. Such beautiful scenery and beauties make people think of the small bridges and flowing water and people in the small town in the south of the Yangtze River.

Yi Qi Mingzhi poured tea and said, "Don't worry, he is new to Shanghai, you must not be rude later." After a pause, he raised his eyes to look at Yi Qi Wanxi again, and said with a smile, "Are you bored?" ”

"Yes." Yi Qi held her chin with her hand and replied truthfully. After all, she'd waited a long time, and she'd never waited so long.

Yi Qi Mingzhi was not angry, changed the topic, and said, "Wanxi, who wrote the poem you memorized just now?"

"Mr. Seisai's "Yonggui." Yi Qi replied gracefully.

"Tang Li Taibai also has a song "Yonggui", Wanxi, you may memorize it?" Yi Qi Mingzhi asked.

Yi Qi chuckled lightly and said, "What's so difficult about this?" After finishing speaking, he cleared his throat and shook his head and read: "The people of the world grow peaches and plums, all in Jinzhangmen. Climb the shortcut and this spring breeze. Once the sky is frosty, glory cannot last long. Anzhi Nanshan Gui, green leaves and roots. Qingyin can also be trusted, what a pity for the tree monarch garden. ”

Yi Qi Mingzhi was very pleased when he heard this, and said: "The peach and plum trend is kitsch, and the autumn laurel is elegant and noble." Being a man should also be like Gui in Li Taibai's poems, elegant and noble. ”

"My daughter wrote it down." Yi Qi replied seriously.

As soon as the sound fell, someone approached and said to Yi Qi Mingzhi: "Master, Mr. Mochizuki has arrived."

Yi Qi Mingzhi raised his head, with a smile in his eyes, looked at the person behind him, hurriedly got up, stepped forward and stretched out his hand and said, "Jijun, long time no see."

Mochizuki stretched out his hand to shake his hand, bowed and said politely, "Uncle Yiqi, long time no see." His Mandarin is very standard, and those who don't know will think that he is Chinese.

"Is Ling Zun okay?" Yi Qi Mingzhi asked.

Mochizuki replied with a smile: "It's okay, thank you Uncle Yiqi for hanging on to it."

"Well, I've missed you all these years, and I'm thinking about when I have the opportunity to go to Tokyo again. I never thought that you would come to China first. ”

"My father misses you very much, always mentions you to me, and tells me that when I come to China, I must visit you first." Mochizuki said with a smile. That smile was different from most others, it seemed to come from the heart, not perfunctory.

Yi Qi Mingzhi laughed a few times, then turned to look at Yi Qi Wanxi who was standing behind him, and said, "Wanxi, come here." Yi Qi Wanxi stepped forward and stood beside Yi Qi Mingzhi, looked up at Mochizuki, and listened to Yiqi Mingzhi say, "This is Mochizuki, the son of a good friend of my father's in Japan." ”

Yi Qi looked at the Moon Collection, paused, and bowed slightly, "Hello."

Looking at Yi Qi Wanxi, Mochizuki's face was obviously shocked, and said, "It turned out to be Wanxi Sang, it's really very beautiful, I'm glad to meet it."

Yi Qi looked at Mochizuki's young and clean face, his smile was very sunny and beautiful. Yi Qi thought to herself, this is very good-looking.

Mochizuki is not as Yi Qi Wanxi thought. He is polite, gentle and elegant, dignified and extraordinary.

"What time is today?" Yi Qi asked gently.

He replied, "Seven."

"Three days to go." Yi Qi Wanxi took the invitation card in her hand and said to herself.

For three days, Yi Qi Wanxi did not go to Qi Tianyu, and Qi Tianyu did not look for her. Yi Qi Mingzhi was not at home all day, Yi Qi Wanxi was silent all day long, the Wang family didn't ask her, and the second aunt didn't dare to say anything. However, Yi Qi Mancao will find Yi Qi Wanxi every day when she is free, just to say something interesting to her to make her happy. But Yi Qi Wanxi was never interested, and only painted by herself, at most she smiled indifferently like pandering.

On the morning of the tenth day of the new year, Yi Qi Wanxi got up early to freshen up and dress up, and was choosing clothes, when there was a knock on the door, and Yi Qi's voice sounded: "Third sister, third sister."

Yi Qi looked at the door, closed the closet door lightly, and turned to open the door.

As soon as the door opened, Yi Qi Mancao hurriedly lifted the hem of her skirt and turned around, smiling like a flower, and her tone was joyful: "Third sister, what do you think of my dress?"

Yi Qi Wanxi heard this, so she looked at her carefully. The clothes are gorgeous but not ostentatious, with the gorgeousness of Western clothes and the elegance of cheongsam. She wore a pair of beautiful white stiletto heels on her feet, the toe of the shoes was decorated with white feathers, and a medium-sized dark blue gem was inlaid in the middle of the feathers, and the gorgeous white silk dress just exposed the heel, and the skirt was slightly puffy, like a budding water lily, and the light blue veil was embroidered with beautiful white flowers. The dark blue belt with golden stripes around her waist wrapped around her slender waist and tied a big knot on her back, like a blue *** with wings spread and stayed on the white lotus. On the upper body, he wore a plush white shawl, revealing the fair skin around his neck and a beautiful collarbone, and his hands wearing white long-sleeved gloves with light blue stripes gently pulled the shawl. An inverted triangular silver necklace around the neck with an aquamarine gemstone embedded in the necklace. The waist-length long black hair was carefully combed, and a small light-blue top hat with a gorgeous decoration was worn diagonally on the hair, which matched the clothes very well. A little powder, but also pure.

"It's beautiful." Yi Qi smiled lightly, "I'm afraid that the immortals will be jealous of you." ”

When Yi Qi Mancao heard this, he was very happy and said, "It's Li from the UK, the designer in the school."

Miss A made it for me. Then he smiled, looked at Yi Qiwanxi, who was still wearing a nightdress, and asked, "Third sister ...... today?" Why don't you go to Mr. Mochizuki's birthday party? ”

Yi Qi raised her eyebrows lightly, and asked instead of answering, "Isn't it too early?"

Yi Qi Mancao pouted slightly, and said, "It's already Chenshi, where is it early." After a pause, she smiled again, "But the third sister looks much more energetic today than she was a few days ago." ”

"Didn't I look energetic the other day?" Yi Qi asked her with a slight smile.

"You didn't pay much attention to me when I talked to you a few days ago, and you didn't laugh at it, but it's boring."

When Yi Qi heard this, she just smiled lightly, but did not speak.

Both were silent, and the air was silent for a moment. After a while, Yi Qi Mancao hurriedly pulled Yi Qi Wanxi to the house and said, "Sister, hurry up and dress up."

When Yi Qi Wanxi was in the UK, she was often pulled by Gu Yi to various parties and balls, so there were a lot of dresses. Each piece is designed and made by herself, each one is extremely good-looking, and all are brand new, she wanted to bring it back, but there are too many of them, it is not easy to bring, and that piece is her own hard work, throwing away the blame distressed, fortunately, she is very popular, and the girls around her like her works, so many of them let those girls pick up.

After entering the house, Yi Qi Mancao went to look at Yi Qi Wanxi's closet, and Yi Qi Wanxi sat in front of the mirror and combed her hair.

Yi Qi Wanxi combed her hair, her hair was scattered behind her and there was no coil, seeing that Yi Qi Mancao was still choosing clothes for herself, so she got up, walked to her, looked at the clothes in the closet, and asked her, "Which one do you think is good?"

"I think it......" Yi Qi Mancao frowned slightly, and stroked the neatly hung dresses in front of her one by one, "It's really hard to choose...... It's all good. The voice fell, hesitated for a few seconds, took off a concubine-colored dress, and said, "It's better to leave it at that." ”

Yi Qi glanced at the dress and said with a light smile: "Okay."

The clothes that Yi Qi Mancao chose for her were made a week before she returned to China, and she had not yet put them on, inspired by the "pink cherry blossoms on both sides of the campus road" written in the book, but Yi Qi Wanxi felt that pink was too sweet, and that too sweet color was not suitable for her, so she chose the concubine color.

Yi Qi Wanxi went to the inner room to change her clothes and came out, and called, "Vines."

Yi Qi Mancao was sitting on a chair drinking herbal tea, heard her voice, and hurriedly looked back at her. The moment he turned around, Yi Qi Mancao's eyes widened.

The beautiful woman is dressed in a concubine-colored dress, delicate but not flashy, enchanting but not glamorous. The clothes are cheongsam style, which can reflect Yi Qi's graceful figure, the sleeves are Ji sleeves, the skirt reaches the ankles, and the slit reaches the middle of the thigh, and the clothes are embroidered with cherry blossoms, but they are not fancy. There is a shawl outside, calm with a bit of agility, elegant with a bit of bewitchment. A pair of red high heels on his feet looks very sexy and very sensual.

"Third sister." Yi Qi Mancao came back to his senses, looked her up and down, and said, "It's really good." ”

Yi Qi smiled lightly, walked to the mirror and looked at herself, the perfect combination of cheongsam and Hanfu set off a beautiful woman like a hibiscus out of the water. When making this dress, Yi Qi Wanxi never thought that the upper body effect would be so good.

Yi Qi sat down in front of the dresser and began to coil her hair and put on makeup.

Yi Qi Mancao sat next to her and looked at her, and suddenly thought of the bride who had been married.
