Chapter 39: Before the Storm
The three days were fleeting, and on the day of the banquet, the genius was slightly bright, and Tao Yaoben was still meeting with Zhou Zheng, so he was picked up by Lin Rui.
Tao Yao looked at Lin Rui sleepily, stunned, what kind of trouble is this going to make early in the morning? Fortunately, she didn't get up angry, otherwise she would have scolded her mother and let people live?
At this moment, Tao Yao was sitting obediently in front of the bronze mirror, and Lin Rui was smiling and combing her hair.
During Xiaolan's absence, Tao Yao's hairstyle was basically contracted by Lin Rui, and it was difficult for him to be so self-taught as a big man and do the duties of the little brother in the hair salon so superbly.
If you praise him, I am afraid that he will be very stubborn and say: "Only the hand is familiar." ”
Tao Yao rubbed her eyes, yawned, and let Lin Rui toss.
It didn't take long for Lin Rui to coil her black hair into a big bun, which had a more mature charm compared with her usual simple dress. Then, Lin Rui took out a hairpin from his sleeve, and saw that the hairpin was green all over, and the hairpin body was carved with lifelike colorful butterflies, a snow lotus bloomed quietly on the hairpin, and a lotus-like pendant, which was elegant and dusty.
Tao Yao looked at the hairpin for a moment, she didn't like to wear a hairpin on weekdays, it was very cumbersome, but looking at the hairpin on the top of her head, it was simple and luxurious, and she looked at it as pleasing to the eye.
"Do you like it?" Lin Rui whispered in her ear, and when he got up in the morning, his voice was a little hoarse, very sultry.
Tao Yao was stunned and nodded obediently, Lin Rui seemed to be in a good mood today.
After that, she changed into a new blue dress, which was very different from her previous casual appearance. Look at Lin Rui next door, he also put on a luxurious blue coat, a handsome son, quite handsome, although it is not his original handsome appearance, but it also makes the whole person have an extraordinary temperament.
The costumes of the two were obviously specially made couple suits, and when they appeared in front of He Qing in such a dress, they simply fed him a lot of dog food.
"Yo, Brother Yuwen and his wife are really talented and beautiful, and they envy others."
Lin Rui was in a good mood and held Tao Yao's hand: "I have won the prize." ”
The corners of Tao Yao's eyes twitched, Lin Rui was really not kind, people praised him politely, and he was so confident.
After getting along with He Qing for these days, Tao Yao feels that he is actually a very good person, and he should be happy if he is alone with him.
"Well, I'm sorry for you." He Qing smiled brightly.
His eyes lit up, and he noticed the hairpin on Tao Yao's head: "Brother Yuwen can actually buy this hairpin, sure enough, this hairpin is a good match for Mrs., Yuwen really has a good eye." ”
Hearing him say this, Tao Yao was a little curious about the origin of this hairpin: "Oh? ”
"Madame didn't know, after the day's entertainment, we went to the treasure pavilion to shop, Yuwen happened to fall in love with this hairpin, the seller said that someone had already settled, and he didn't want to sell it, but he didn't expect Yuwen to get it in the end."
Tao Yao looked at Lin Rui, and knew a little in her heart, how could she not get what Lin Rui wanted? Although she was also very satisfied with the hairpin, when she thought that the hairpin was actually a good thing, Tao Yao felt ashamed.
Lin Rui pulled the hair on her forehead to the back of her head and whispered to her, "This is yours." ”
Tao Yao didn't say anything on the surface, but she was a little worried in her heart. She has always disliked Lin Rui being so domineering, a gentleman does not take the favor of others, although she is not a gentleman, but she really doesn't want to take people's favors like this.
It didn't take long for He Qing to take them to He Mansion together, they were able to participate in this banquet and get more face from him, although He Qing had a bad relationship with the mansion on weekdays, but he was still the third son of He Mansion after all.
Tao Yao looked at the hall of Hefu, the scale of this banquet was more grand than the last birthday banquet of Mrs. He, the hall was extremely festive, the ground was covered with a thick carpet inlaid with gold wire, the beams were hung with delicate painted lanterns, and the red silk flowers were knotted.
Lin Rui led Tao Yao to sit in an inconspicuous position, and He Qing was very reluctant to be invited to the front again.
As the guests sat down one by one, the banquet hall gradually became lively. Tao Yao actually saw the faces of acquaintances, Chu Ge and Luo Chen hadn't returned to the mountain yet, and Gu Xianzhi and Mrs. Gu had also come.
As soon as Taoyao Lin Rui entered the table, several people at the same table discussed gossip in a low voice.
A very strong man was very puzzled: "I said why did such a big lady suddenly appear in the He family." ”
Another slightly older middle-aged man at the same table seemed to know some big news, so he said in a mysterious way: "You don't know, this old lady He has two sons, and the eldest son has passed away, and these second sons are the second master He of the He family who is now in control of the overall situation." ”
Another thin man said: "But this Master He went early, and I have never heard of a son and a daughter. ”
The sturdy man asked in a low voice, "So this eldest lady is the daughter of Master He?" ”
The middle-aged man nodded: "Yes, this is a young lady, it's easy to say, if it's a young master, it's not so easy to be accepted." ”
"That's ...... too"
Tao Yao listened to these people squeaking and discussing, and felt that it was cool and cool, this Lin Rui was still there, and the words said by this group of people were too harsh.
However, she also knows that whether it is modern or ancient, this person's gossip nature always does not change.
However, she looked at Lin Rui next door, who was calmly sipping tea, and their words didn't seem to have any effect on him.
Tao Yao knew that so many guests were very curious about Na He Su, but the climax of the banquet never came so quickly. The waiting before the banquet was always boring, and Tao Yao no longer paid attention to the gossip of the group of people, peeling peanuts one by one, and watching the music performance in the middle carelessly.
Suddenly, a ball rolled to her feet, and after she picked it up, He Jing appeared in front of her.
Speaking of which, she hadn't seen He Jing for a long time, and looking at his appearance, he was still white and fat.
"Hello ma'am, this is my ball." He's still that little milky voice, and he talks quite cutely.
Tao Yao habitually touched his head, then returned the ball to him, and he thanked her very politely.
Behind him was He Bi, who was looking at her thoughtfully.
Lin Rui noticed his gaze and spoke first, "Brother He, hello." ”
He Bi narrowed his gaze and greeted Lin Rui generously: "Brother Lin, today's hospitality is not good, please eat and drink well with your wife." ”
Lin Rui politely responded to him, which was very hypocritical.
When the other people at the same table saw He Bi, they were still discussing it lively, and suddenly stopped talking, so the people who gossip behind this will always be weak-minded.
After the interlude, the banquet was still in order.
Tao Yao sat bored, and Lin Rui was drinking tea without caring about himself, as if everything was so calm. But Tao Yao knew what preparations Lin Rui must have made, how could he easily let go of this opportunity to make trouble?
