In a blink of an eye, the weather in Jinling is getting hotter and hotter, the heat wave in the air is like water vapor, scorching the earth and fire, the Overseer's Mansion is still ushering in, because of Gu Shiyi's arrival, those Jinling magnates will naturally not give up this opportunity to tie up, every day there are many people to send congratulatory gifts, want to have a relationship with this noble Miss Gu.
Everyone in the Su family also attaches great importance to it, after all, compared to the previous two, this Miss Gu's identity is too prominent, even if she knows that she will become a family in the future, several aunts and ladies treat her very politely and politely, for fear that she will feel uncomfortable with a little triviality.
That Gu Shiyi is a person who has seen the world, in the past in the north is a starry figure holding the moon, for the people who stammered her, although she was bored in her heart, but the face was thoughtful, not giving people the feeling of being on top at all, she went abroad to study, and she also learned the etiquette of Westerners who were warm but not close to people, so everyone in the Su family got along with her for a few days, and slowly figured out her character.
Although Han Wan'er didn't want to see her, but his identity was embarrassing, and this marriage was handed over to her with full authority, even if he didn't want to, he had to take care of people properly. Until noon, Su Fangfei organized a large family of women to get together for dinner, since the second aunt died, the women in the house have not gathered much, because Gu Shiyi came, these days have been getting together from time to time.
Originally, a room full of women were gossiping in the hall, until the maid finished serving, Su Fangfei invited everyone to the restaurant, the third aunt and the fifth aunt Taiyuan are good at flattery, and when they get the opportunity, they will pester Gu Shiyi to speak, and the knots in their eyes and words are obvious everywhere, but they talk too much, and they inevitably feel lame.
Su Fangfei couldn't see it, and seeing that the two of them were talking more and more, she took over the conversation, "Sister, I heard my father say that you have met our old Qiyuan, is this true?" If so, then it's really fate. ”
Originally, their Su family sat on the nineteen provinces in the south, which was much larger than the territory of the north, even in this situation, it was still stronger than the north, although Su Fangfei was not the kind of domineering lord, but he couldn't always grow the ambition of others and destroy his prestige.
Although she diverted the topic, she still didn't forget to look at the third aunt and the fifth aunt coldly, and when the two saw this, they knew that they had touched the scales, and they didn't want to show too much, so they looked at each other, smiled wryly, and stopped talking.
Although Gu Shiyi didn't look at people's faces, she also knew that this sixth lady of the Su family was a person who was not easy to get along with, and she was very polite when she talked to her, "Speaking of this, I have a belly, now that I think about it, I think it is a coincidence that it is not a book, at that time I took a boat to the north, and happened to meet the injured Qishao, we don't know each other's identities, we met on the vast river, he saved me, and I also saved him, this is probably the so-called fate." ”
A few people smiled and echoed a few words, originally invited Han Wan'er to this meal, but she couldn't raise her interest, so even if everyone laughed happily, she seemed to be invisible. Just listening to Gu Shiyi talk about her encounter with Qi Shao, there are quite some scenes in the drama book, she thought of Shen Qiangrose, and her heart became more and more uncomfortable, so she didn't care about the etiquette, and said: "This is really a good show of a handsome boy and a beautiful woman, you are such identities for each other, and it sounds more dramatic." ”
She said and laughed twice. It wasn't too much, it was a few women getting together, and when everyone heard it, they all looked at Gu Shiyi with a smile, and a few words were over. After talking for a while, the messenger outside the door came to report that Su Huiyi's special train had entered Jinling and would be back soon.
Originally, he was fighting on the front line these days, although the good news was frequent, but it always made people suspenseful, and this time he came back before marriage, but everyone was happy, Su Fangfei got up with a smile when she heard it, and said, "This is really a good thing." As she spoke, she looked at Gu Shiyi, "Sister, congratulations to you in advance." ”
What she said was narrow, but it made Gu Shiyi's boss embarrassed, and said with a red face: "How can you do this, sister, I will ignore you." ”
She was happy in her heart, and when she remembered the previous meeting, she couldn't suppress the joy in her heart, so she pursed her lips and smiled. Su Fangfei didn't tease her anymore, but just pushed her casually, "There's still time, go and dress up." ”
Gu Shiyi became more and more shy, glared at her, and walked out. She has always been dignified, and she is naturally embarrassed to show such a state at this moment, but the emotions in her heart are difficult to calm down, and when she returns to the courtyard where she lives, she feels that a heart is beating in front of her chest, as if she wants to jump out. She sat on the sofa, thinking about that first encounter, Su Huiyi's eyebrows were engraved in her heart, originally a noble lady like her, she had not experienced any disasters in her life, and she had been abroad for a long time, and she was even more envious and longing for that kind of romantic love.
Since I met Su Huiyi, I felt that the love in my heart couldn't be reduced, so I liked it desperately. She thought about his cold eyebrows, and before she knew it, she stroked her chest, and after a while, she walked to the dressing table and sat down, she was still so beautiful and elegant in the mirror, she had always been very confident, and she was looking at herself in a trance at the moment, but she was not sure.
She thought of Shen Qiangrose, the beauty who had never had plain eyebrows and eyes, as if she had come out of a painting, no matter what kind of expression she had in her face, she always had that unique weakness and temperament of a woman, which she did not have. She had lived here for some days, and even though she didn't know much about the things between them, she had heard a lot, and she was naturally envious and jealous.
She sat there blankly, thinking about what kind of man she couldn't marry, until she met Su Huiyi, and her full love seemed pathetic.
Thinking like this, she picked up the comb in front of the table and combed her hair gently, the makeup on her face was still impeccable, but she always felt that she was not satisfied, and she carefully smeared the powder, so she felt better. The maid had already picked out a lot of dresses from the wardrobe for her to choose from.
She used to like these the most, but when she saw it at this time, she felt that it was inappropriate, and after thinking about it, she said, "Bring a set of cheongsam." After a pause, he said, "The elements are light." ”
The maids looked at each other before answering. Soon took a set of moon-white cheongsam, originally when she came, the ladies in the house made a few sets according to her size, but she came these days, has always been wearing a dress, this is the first time to wear a cheongsam, naturally it is very fit, but she is too fashionable and foreign, wearing it on the body has a lot of bright temperament, and the kind of gentle woman wearing a cheongsam is completely different.
She took a look in the mirror, but felt disappointed for no reason, and didn't want to change it at this time. I only heard that the mother-in-law outside came to report that Qishao was back. She only felt that her heart seemed to jump out of her throat, and she didn't say anything for a long time, and the woman saw that her face was in a trance, so she reminded her: "Miss, the seventh young man went to the big handsome at this time, and the sixth young lady asked me to come and invite you." ”
Gu Shiyi nodded, and followed the woman out of the yard without saying a word, the wind was extremely hot, blowing on her cheeks as if it was hot, she couldn't help but take out a handkerchief and wipe her face, the porch was shady, just walked over slowly, and her heart didn't know where to fly, and she couldn't settle down.
This journey was completed with mixed feelings, and seeing a corner of the cornice hidden in the lush trees, she couldn't help but pause for breath, and when she looked carefully, she saw bulletproof cars parked outside the courtyard gate, and a whole row of garrisons were waiting, even in such a hot weather, but they did not move at all.
She looked at it, then gently hooked her lips, and couldn't help but think in her heart, this is the man she wants to marry. Thinking like this, seeing that her mother-in-law led her inside, she came here for the second time, but she was even more nervous than the first time, stepped into the hall, and raised her eyes to see Su Huiyi, he was wearing a straight military uniform, and his eyebrows were even more handsome, and in the golden light that came in, it gave people more and more a kind of sharpness that could not be forced.
He swept over her almost indifferently, and then turned his gaze, but Su Shengbai was extremely enthusiastic, and beckoned her over, "Poetic, come and sit." ”
Although she couldn't hold back a little on her face, she walked over in a proper manner, and heard Su Shengbai say: "You and Lao Qi have met before, so you don't have to be so formal." As he spoke, he got up, "You young people can talk, I'm not an old man." ”
Gu Shiyi looked a little cramped, got up to see Su Shengbai leave, raised his eyes and saw that he was looking at him thoughtfully, he couldn't help but hang his head, and heard him smile, "Miss Gu, I really didn't expect that we would meet again in this way." ”
He seemed to be chatting casually, but his words were a little cold. She couldn't help but look up at him, but at this time, she didn't say those words that were not fate, but said lightly: "I think this way is the most suitable way for each other." ”
Su Huiyi chuckled and nodded, his eyebrows flashed a trace of impatience, "Miss Gu, since you and I are about to get married, I think it's better to make some things clear now." ”
Gu Shi thought that he was so indifferent to himself, so he naturally knew what he was going to say, but that bit of arrogance and stubbornness still made her open her mouth first, "I know what you want to say, and I also understand that this kind of marriage is just bound by interests." But since I will marry you, I will be your wife, and I will share weal and woe with you, blessings and woes. Even if you don't want to, you still have to raise your eyebrows with me. ”
She smiled, "Don't say these words, it's nothing if you want to get rid of the relationship with me, in short, I don't care what you want to do after marriage, and I don't bother to care, I don't care who you have in your heart, you just need to know that I am the daughter of the Gu family, and that's enough." ”
She said that, she smiled politely and detachedly at him, and then turned away, and when she went out, she felt that her body was no match for the hot wind, and the heat wave burned her heart, and she looked down to see that she was wearing an inappropriate dress.
So, the feeling is destined to be uncertain.
She thought to herself, laughing at herself.
