Gu Qingzhou followed Yan Luoshui and went to the Wan family's banquet.

The Wan family is a celebrity in the academic world. Today's military and political circles are all students of the old man of the Wan family, and their family banquet is very lively.

The banquet in the first month of Yuecheng is a continuation of the rules of the previous dynasty.

As early as the former Qing Dynasty, in the first month of each year, the wang clans would take turns to hold a church meeting and invite relatives and friends.

Up to now, the church has changed the ball, changing the soup instead of the medicine, and it is still lively in the New Year.

The Gu family has no wife in charge, and it is a filial piety period, so there is no arrangement this year.

Gu Qingzhou and Yan Luoshui went to Wan's house, but Huo Huijing didn't go.

In Huo Huijing's words: "Qingzhou, you must be holding back the bad water, and you don't know what to make a fuss about, so I don't believe that you want to release your suspicions with Wan Min, I won't wade into troubled waters with you!" ”

Yan Luoshui agreed with Huo Jingjing's words, but she wanted to know what kind of scheming Gu Qingzhou was using, so she was very curious, so she followed.

Since it was decided that he wanted to marry Xie Sanshao, Yan Luoshui's whole person was lively and bright. If it was in the past, she would definitely avoid it like Huo Huijing.

Gu Qingzhou shouted that he was wronged: "I just want to make one more friend, and you suspect me like this!" ”

Huo Huijing and Yan Luoshui didn't believe it.

They knew Gu Qingzhou too well.

"If she caused something, come back and tell me." Huo Huijing said to Yan Luo Shuidao.

Yan Luoshui held back a smile.

The banquet of the Wan family, the high friends are like clouds, the cars of celebrities are placed all over the street, and the ethereal piano sound overflows from the flower hall far away, like a veil floating in the sky, decorating the prosperous and lively atmosphere.

Gu Qingzhou's knowledge is limited, and there are many celebrities at the banquet, who Gu Qingzhou doesn't know, Yan Luoshui whispered to her.

Gu Qingzhou even saw Mi Si Zhu, the trustee of St. Mary's School.

Mi Si Zhu didn't like the Gu family's children, and when Yan Luo came forward to say hello, Gu Qingzhou stood behind Yan Luo Shui, half of his body dodging, trying not to obstruct Mi Si Zhu's eyes.

Wan Min came to receive them.

Seeing them, Wan Min has a lot of face, one is the future young grandmother of the military government, and the other is the daughter of a high-ranking official of the military government, such friends add color to Wan Min's face.

It's just that Wan Min still doesn't like Gu Qingzhou, and she doesn't feel very comfortable.

"Luo Shui, congratulations." Wan Min smiled, suppressing her dislike for Gu Qingzhou, and greeted Yan Luoshui first, "I didn't expect you to get engaged!" ”

If Yan Luoshui really didn't invite Wan Min, Wan Min would be very embarrassed, after all, the whole class had gone. Yan Luoshui's status in the family is higher, and the classmates will only laugh at Wan Min.

Since she invited, Wan Min couldn't help but be pleasant, but she always had a grudge against Gu Qingzhou.

Seeing Gu Qingzhou, Wan Min's heart was full of energy, and she couldn't wait to compete with Gu Qingzhou.

She plans to get along with Gu Qingzhou well, at least not to make trouble today. It's just that when he arrives, Wan Min's temper can't be controlled, so why do she have to stab Gu Qingzhou a few times.

It's good to say a few cool words.

"Qingzhou, we didn't know about your engagement, I heard that the Overseer's Mansion didn't hold an engagement banquet for you at all, is it true? Do you still keep the old rules and verbally promise marriage? Wan Min said.

This is a thorn, it is nothing more than saying that the Overseer's Mansion does not respect Gu Qingzhou as a daughter-in-law and despises her very much.

Gu Qingzhou had a purpose today, Wan Min spoke ugly, and she didn't take it to heart.

Besides, if others don't say it, will the Overseer's Mansion look up to her?

It's just the truth, there will always be people talking about it.

"Really, I think we're all sour and old-fashioned." Gu Qingzhou smiled, trying to be friendly as much as possible, and asked Wanmin, "Are you married?" You are so beautiful, there should be many people asking to marry, right? ”

She wanted to compliment Wan Min.

Unexpectedly, I didn't know which of Wan Min's reverse scales I touched in this sentence, and Wan Min turned her face on the spot.

Wan Min's face turned purple, the corners of her lips trembled slightly, and she gritted her teeth and said: "When I get engaged, it will definitely cause a sensation in Yuecheng, and the three worlds of military, politics and science will all arrive!" ”

still stabbed Gu Qingzhou, saying that the Si family did not hold a sensational engagement banquet for her.

Gu Qingzhou doesn't care about himself, what does Wan Min care about?

There were guests over there again, and Wan Min walked away.

"What's her nerves?" Yan Luoshui was full of unhappiness, she was about to take a few words for Gu Qingzhou, but Wan Min left, causing Yan Luoshui's counterattack to exist in her heart.

Wan Min is such a nuisance!

"Look, I said she didn't mean anything to you, right?" Yan Luo said, "Qingzhou, what are you going to do?" ”

"I just want to make a friend." Gu Qingzhou said, "You see that she said so ugly, I didn't even fight back." ”

Although he didn't fight back, he still made Wan Min half angry.

Yan Luoshui lightly poked Gu Qingzhou's forehead: "You just make a mistake." ”

Then, they met their classmate Li Hua.

Li Hua is a very enthusiastic little girl, and she is very dependent on Yan Luoshui and Gu Qingzhou, and always wants to squeeze into Yan Luoshui and their group.

It's just that this girl is too simple, like a blank piece of paper, her aura is completely different, although Yan Luoshui and Gu Qingzhou like her, they can't have a deep friendship with her.

Although people have no antennae, they have a very strange sense, whether they have the same aura, whether they can have deep friendship, can be clearly distinguished.

Li Hua didn't care, he was still enthusiastic and lively.

"Luoshui, Qingzhou, we just saw some of them playing tennis in the backyard, and I heard that they also bet on winning or losing! Let's go see, I want to win it too. Li Hua couldn't sit still.

Li Hua's tennis is very good.

Yan Luoshui saw that there were all elders in the room, so he said, "Okay, go and have a look." ”

Gu Qingzhou glanced around, didn't find his target, and planned to go out to take a look.

From a distance, Gu Qingzhou saw Wan Min.

Wan Min stood in front of the flower bed, talking to a woman with a smile, and next to a little girl of seven or eight years old, lying on the edge of the flower bed, picking plum blossoms inside.

Gu Qingzhou's attention fell on the woman beside Wan Min.

The woman was about thirty-seven or eighteen years old, and wore a short dark brown fur, and the mink fur was shiny and shiny, and could swing out an inky circle.

This mink is expensive.

The woman's bearing is graceful, her eyebrows and eyes are not gentle and soft, there are some quiet killings, and the attack power is not great, but people dare not get close.

"If Sangsang likes plum blossoms, I'll ask someone to pick some vases and send them over later." Wan Min's words and expressions were particularly stammering with this woman.

The little girl who was playing with plum blossoms was called Sangsang.

Chen Sangsang, the youngest daughter of the third room of the ship's Chen family, won the favor of her parents and grandparents, and everyone regarded her as the pearl of her palm.

The woman's tone was very lazy, and she said lightly: "Don't bother." ”

Who doesn't have plum blossoms?

"Third wife, I heard that you are going to Hong Kong again after the Chinese New Year?" Wan Min asked again.

The woman was calm, and her voice was always tepid: "Hmm." ”

This woman is the third wife of the Chen family of the ship.

The eldest lord of the Chen family died young, and the second lord was the concubine born to his aunt's wife, and the power of the entire Chen family fell on the young and powerful third lord.

The third master has just turned forty years old, and he has already supported a huge family business, has a close relationship with the British government, and has excellent ability.

Mrs. Chen's surname is Pang, but she is actually of mixed race and follows her mother's surname. Her mother was Chinese, and her father was a counsellor at the British Consulate before returning to China to work in the government.

With this relationship, the Chen family's ships have confidence.

It's just that Mrs. Chen San was born with delicate eyebrows, except for the high nose bridge, there is no doubt that she is Chinese, if you don't know her background, you can't see her mixed-race child at all, her mother's genes are relatively strong.

Wan Min really wanted to talk to Mrs. Chen, because Mrs. Chen was the mother of the Chen family. The third wife has many nephews and has reached the age of marriage

"Third wife." Gu Qingzhou's steps were light, and his voice was soft.

Wan Min was slightly surprised, and said in her heart: "Gu Qingzhou also knows the people of the Chen family?" ”

Mrs. Chen's eyes were deep and shrewd, and she slightly bowed her head at Gu Qingzhou, then cast her eyes into the distance, without asking Gu Qingzhou's name, very indifferent.

The lady was proud.

Wan Min couldn't help but snicker.

"Hello third wife, my surname is Gu, and I am a customs yamen" Gu Qingzhou wanted to introduce himself.

"Miss Gu, would you like to take a walk elsewhere? I'm here to say a few words to Miss Wan. Mrs. Chen San said.

She's very polite.

Mrs. Chen San was originally serious, and ordinary people did not dare to approach her.

She said such a thing again, and people with a little self-esteem had to brush their sleeves away.

may have an Englishman as a backer, Mrs. Chen San always feels superior, and rarely takes the celebrities of Yuecheng in her eyes.

"Sorry to interrupt." Gu Qingzhou smiled softly, and did not show any embarrassment because of Mrs. Chen's words.

When she saw Chen Sangsang picking flowers next to her, Gu Qingzhou squatted beside her and whispered, "Your name is Sangsang, right?" ”

Chen Sangsang is eight years old this year, she is a delicate and lovely little girl, and there is no good or evil for people. Her round eyes, like inky jewels, had a clear glow.

"Sangsang, come here." Gu Qingzhou whispered and said a few words in Sang Sang's ear.

Sangsang blinked and looked at her with wide eyes.

Gu Qingzhou walked to the side, and Chen Sangsang actually followed her.

Wan Min was stunned.

Chen Sangsang is so shrewd, like her mother, she is a proud little slut, she never takes others in her eyes, why does she follow Qingzhou's casual words?

"Huh?" Wan Min was surprised and reminded Mrs. Chen San.

Mrs. Chen's delicate brows furrowed slightly.

This is the Wan family, Mrs. Chen San is naturally not afraid that someone will abduct Sangsang, and they have always been in the sight of Mrs. Chen San.

Mrs. Chen San was a little surprised, Sang Sang has autism and is rarely willing to deal with others.

Gu Qingzhou squatted down, and before she had a minute in front of her, Sang Sang followed her.

What's going on?

"Gu Qingzhou, what are you doing?" Wan Min was shocked, angry and jealous, and wanted to catch up.

Wan Min teased Sang Sang for a long time before, and Sang Sang kept pinching plum blossoms and didn't pay attention to her at all.

Why did Gu Qingzhou hook it casually, and Sang Sang ran away? What is the rationale for this?

Losing to Gu Qingzhou, Wan Min was especially unbearable, she wanted to run over and drag Sang Sang back, but she felt her arms tighten.

Mrs. Chen San grabbed her.

"Miss Wan, don't worry. You go get busy. Mrs. Chen San said indifferently.
