As Gu Qingzhou guessed, the good show of the Overseer's Mansion is coming.

Gu Qingzhou had dinner and was about to go upstairs to rest when he received a call from his fifth aunt, Tai Huayan.

"Miss Gu, you cured my illness, I can't thank you enough. Tomorrow night, please come to the Overseer's Mansion for a feast, which is my birthday. "The fifth aunt is too much.

Gu Qingzhou thought to himself, all this is a bit of a coincidence.

Treating the fifth aunt was Si Qiongzhi's persuasion from the very beginning.

I'm afraid that this birthday banquet is also what Si Qiongzhi meant, that is, to invite Gu Qingzhou to the Overseer's Mansion.

"Okay, first of all, I wish you a long life than Nanshan." Gu Qingzhou said.

This kind of old-fashioned blessing made the fifth aunt laugh too much.

After hanging up the phone, Gu Qingzhou went back to the room.

It's just that Gu Ying and Gu Ying heard the content of her phone call, and their eyes rolled sharply.

"Mom, Gu Qingzhou is going to the Overseer's Mansion again." Gu Yan's silver teeth were crushed.

Last time, the second son of the mayor's family invited Gu Yan to watch a movie, but there was no follow-up.

Gu Yan was very annoyed, and deliberately called the Wei family twice, but he didn't meet the second son.

This matter hangs in Gu Yan's heart.

She thought that she should make preparations with both hands and go to the Si family more, maybe she could get married to other powerful people. Even if you put a little pressure on Wei Gongzi, let him pursue it more actively.

"I heard that it is a banquet, there must be a lot of VIPs, and I want to go too." Gu Yan said.

Gu Ying also said: "Mom, I'm going too!" ”

The two of them pestered Qin Zheng and didn't let go.

If it was normal, Qin Zhengzheng didn't dare to agree, Gu Qingzhou was too cunning.

But now, the old lady lives in the Gu Mansion, and it is easy for her to handle Gu Qingzhou.

"Okay, Mommy will arrange it." Qin Zheng said with a smile.

Qin Zhengzheng appeased his daughter, turned around and went to find the old lady.

On Saturday morning, it was drizzling, drizzling and misty, and there was a winter chill, so Gu Qingzhou changed into a cheongsam with cotton jackets.

The leaves of the sycamore trees outside her window had fallen and the branches were bare, bathed in the drizzle.

Gu Qingzhou went downstairs for breakfast, and the old lady asked her with a dignified attitude: "I heard, what kind of dance are you going to attend in the Overseer's Mansion?" ”

"It's not a ball, it's just the fifth aunt's birthday party." Gu Qingzhou said.

The old lady immediately got angry: "It's not a proper system! What aunt wife, that's just a concubine! You will be the second young grandmother in the future, and if you go to the banquet in the concubine's room, won't it make people laugh off their big teeth? ”

If it had been fifty years earlier, that would have been true.

The old lady's words were not bad.

But today's world is different, and the clear distinction between wives and concubines is long gone.

So many old-fashioned people can't accept the atmosphere of the new era.

Gu Qingzhou didn't want to be too good with the fifth aunt, she just wanted to catch Si Qiongzhi's back move, lest she make another move next time.

"It's a call from the Overseer's Office, if you don't want me to go, I won't go." Gu Qingzhou's eyebrows and eyes were docile, and his speech was also gentle and soft.

Gu Guizhang heard it next to him, frowned and said to Gu Qingzhou, "How can you not go?" If you lose your trust in others, how will you be a person in the future? ”

Then, Gu Guizhang said impatiently to the old lady, "Mom, it's a new era, what a wife and concubine!" The concubine of the Overseer's Mansion, if it is in the previous dynasty, that is, the imperial concubine, if you don't give this face, your son won't have to be an official in the future! ”

The Overseer's Mansion is in Yuecheng, which can indeed be compared to a small court.

The aunt and wife of the Si family are more noble than the wives of the ordinary people, Gu Guizhang used "queen" and "concubine" to compare the wives and concubines of the Si family, which is a bit exaggerated, but it is also very correct.

"You're exalting them too much! A group of soldiers, sooner or later, will be finished! The old lady said.

The old lady lost her temper, Gu Guizhang coaxed, and Gu Qingzhou finished her breakfast slowly.

Compared with the old lady who picks three or four all day long, Gu Qingzhou's attitude is gentle and demure, and he sets off the old lady more and more spicy and vulgar.

Gu Guizhang is afraid of his mother and dislikes her, and his feelings for her are very complicated.

"She can't go alone, the young girl has no company, she doesn't look good." The old lady said.

The main purpose is revealed.

"Let the Silkworm and the Silkworm accompany her." The old lady said, "There is no one to support you when you go out, and there is no respect from the big lady." ”

Gu Guizhang thought about it and felt that it was not bad.

Gu Qingzhou knew in her heart that there was a good show to watch tonight, and if she could be accompanied by multiple people, she could pull people into the water casually, and she didn't mind.

"Won't the eldest lady and the fourth lady dislike that the fifth aunt is too a concubine and has a low status?" Gu Qingzhou asked with a smile.

Gu Yan said: "Don't be ignorant, that is the concubine of the Overseer's Mansion, much more noble than you." ”

Gu Qingzhou raised his eyebrows.

She agreed to take Gu Ying and Gu Ying with her, and the two sisters had breakfast and bought clothes.

The third aunt is too unbalanced about this: "Qingzhou, they take advantage of you again!" ”

"Is it so easy to take advantage of?" Gu Qingzhou smiled, "If they don't have a good memory, I can't help it." ”

The third aunt laughed too much.

At the same time, the third aunt complained again, saying that the old lady has always been picky lately, and that her clothes are not dignified enough.

"I'm young, what do I do when I'm old?" The third aunt said, "This old lady, when will she leave?" ”

Gu Qingzhou smiled.

The old lady, she thought, was about to leave.

If Gu Qingzhou hadn't been injured and recuperating for many days, she would have disposed of it long ago.

The injury was just right, and it was the Overseer's Mansion again, Gu Qingzhou had to polish one after another, so he let the old lady be arrogant for a few more days.

She spent the afternoon in her room reviewing her homework, doing an afternoon of arithmetic problems, and didn't go downstairs until almost half past four.

And Gu Ying and Gu Ying are already dressed up and waiting to go.

Gu Yan is a black dress evening dress with a dark black British breeze; Gu Ying wore a light pink cheongsam, wearing a pure white cashmere trim outside.

The two sisters wore light makeup, made their hair, and covered their eyes with extremely thick bangs, followed by curly coiled hair, which was fashionable and beautiful.

Compared with them, Gu Qingzhou's outfit is nothing new, she is still the clothes she wears, and her hair is simply coiled.

The fifth aunt is too birthday, and it is not lively, there is only a small flower hall, and four or five tables are placed, all of which are relatives and friends of the fifth aunt.

Naturally, Mrs. Si would not come.

But the juniors of the Si family all gave face to this concubine, and they all attended.

Si Qiongzhi was also present.

Seeing Gu Ying and Gu Ying, Si Qiongzhi was slightly stunned, but felt funny.

"The Gu family really spares no effort to take advantage!" Si Qiongzhi smiled softly.

She wore a long snow-colored dress with a pearl grate, and the warm light of the pearls reflected her face, and her skin was full of brilliance.

"Sister Gu." Si Qiongzhi stepped forward and greeted Gu Qingzhou with a gentle attitude, without seeing the slightest gap.

Gu Qingzhou smiled: "Miss Qiongzhi is so beautiful tonight!" ”

Am I not beautiful one day?

Si Qiongzhi couldn't hear the praise, and said disdainfully in his heart.

They were talking, and they never saw the fifth aunt.

In the banquet flower hall, in addition to the relatives and friends of the fifth aunt, there were also some upstart nouveau riche in Yuecheng who came to talk to this aunt's wife.

The extravagance in the flower hall is a bit heavy, heavy and tacky.

Xiuxiu, the fifth aunt's close maid, stepped forward and said to Gu Qingzhou, "Miss Qingzhou, Mrs. Aunt please come to her room to talk." ”

Gu Qingzhou nodded and went to the fifth aunt's room.

The fifth aunt is still putting on makeup.

Her hair had not yet been coiled, and it was scattered over her slender shoulders, which became more and more slender to her neck.

"Qingzhou, thank you for coming." The fifth aunt was a little apprehensive, "It's my first birthday." ”

"Really?" Gu Qingzhou thought for a moment.

The fifth aunt nodded: "In the past, it was Madame and Miss Qiongzhi who said that I had been wronged a little and asked the Overseer to help me celebrate my birthday and appease me." ”

Gu Qingzhou smiled.

As she spoke, she got up and handed a watch to Gu Qingzhou: "You treated me for my illness, and you treated you lightly with the consultation fee, this watch can be regarded as a thank you." ”

Gu Qingzhou held it in his hand.

She glanced at it a few times, and then said to the fifth aunt, "I'll go to the bathroom." ”

The fifth aunt pointed to the left: "Just go out." ”

Gu Qingzhou went to the bathroom and took the watch apart.

Watches imported from Switzerland are exquisitely made.

With the help of the lamp, Gu Qingzhou used the silver needle in his hairpin to pluck it, and finally found that there was something abnormal in the watch.

She put the watch in place.

When she came out of the bathroom, the fifth aunt saw Gu Qingzhou with the watch on her wrist.

The fifth aunt was so happy that she said with a smile: "You look good with this watch." ”

The gift she gave was valuable, and she was in a good mood.

Gu Qingzhou said: "If you don't mind, I'll help you with your hair." ”

The fifth aunt looked at Gu Qingzhou's hair, loose but not messy, with a few strands hanging obliquely, lingering on the snow-white neck, seemingly inadvertent, revealing scheming, very good-looking.

"Okay." The fifth aunt is too much.

So, Gu Qingzhou helped the fifth aunt to pull her hair. Her fingers flew, and in a moment they took shape.

After dressing up, when they went to the flower hall, Xiuxiu, the maid who followed them, suddenly said: "Auntie, the path in front of you seems to be flooded, don't get your shoes wet, let's go around from the west." ”

Passing around from the west, you have to pass by the outer study of the Overseer.

The fifth aunt didn't think much about it, but Gu Qingzhou's eyes were quiet, and she followed the fifth aunt and Xiuxiu.

When she arrived at the back door of the outer study, Xiuxiu's foot suddenly fell, and she exclaimed in pain: "Ouch! ”

"What people!" In the darkness, there was the sound of a gun being loaded.

The fifth aunt was too confused.

Gu Qingzhou quickly answered: "It's the fifth aunt!" ”

An adjutant came out under the eaves of the study, wearing a military leather raincoat and carrying a heavy gun, and saluted the fifth aunt, and then said, "Fifth aunt, the overseer is not at home today, you can't go near the outer study." ”

"I don't go to the study, I'm going to the flower hall by detour." The fifth aunt is too much.

The three women walked around quickly.

After walking a few steps, getting farther and farther away from the outer study, the fifth aunt looked back at the outer study, and thought: "The outer study room is heavily guarded tonight, there must be something very important, and I am afraid that people will steal it." ”

At this time, the lady offered to hold a birthday for her, so that so many guests would come back, in case there was a mistake

The fifth aunt's heart was beating so loudly that she always felt that something would happen.

"Did Madame do it on purpose?" The fifth aunt thought to herself. "Is it a trap for me?"

She was even more nervous and went to the flower hall.

The fifth aunt and Xiuxiu, their expressions changed a little, only Gu Qingzhou was leisurely and entered the flower hall.
