Section 9: I want to be an actor
Section 9: I want to be an actor
After dancing the song, Mr. Li personally sent Murong Painting Building to Li Zhenghong, and joked to himself: "Adjutant Li was nervous all night, for fear that we would hurt my wife, and now I will return my wife safely......"
Li Zhenghong also got up and laughed. For Li Lianyuan, a generation of Confucianism and a family background, Adjutant Li is respectful.
Murong Hualou owed slightly, made a Western salute, and sat back in his place.
The handsome waiter in white uniform held champagne, and Murong Hualou and Li Zhenghong each took a glass.
It's another soft song, and there are gradually more figures on the dance floor, but there are very few seats on this side anyway.
"It's almost the end, isn't it?" Murong Hualou asked Li Zhenghong.
Li Zhenghong took a sip, his face calmed down, and said with a smile: "It should be, right?" "He didn't know much about the rules of a Western banquet.
Murong Hualou casually flipped through the list of gold silk decorations on the table, and it was already the penultimate song. Her gaze fell on the last piece, a Nocturne in G minor by Chopin, performed by Madame Blanc......
The ink was still dry, and it should have been written before the banquet. Her eyes were slightly glazed, knowing that Yun Yuan did not come, she still arranged for Madame Bai to play solo.
What is the Li family doing here?
On the other side of the corridor, Li Lianyuan, Mrs. Li, Li Fangjing, and Miss Li Si went upstairs in pairs. It is very common for the host to leave the table to rest for a while, or to change clothes and hats, or to touch up makeup. Murong Hualou was amused in his heart.
Without the approval of the Overseers, would Li Fu dare to deliberately embarrass her?
Only then did Murong Painting Lou feel that he was in a puzzle, and what pushed him into the whirlpool in his heart may not be others, but the people around him.
She looked back at Adjutant Li on the side, her eyes were misty, and her eyebrows hidden in her sideburns were slightly raised: "Adjutant Li, ...... tonight Interesting, isn't it? ”
Li Zhenghong was stunned for a moment, his eyebrows were slightly stunned, but his heart was inexplicably empty. She is innocent, but she has to watch her struggle at the bottom line, and the situation is tricky. If it is a peaceful and prosperous world, maybe she will be a young lady from an ordinary family all her life, and she will not see her husband for the rest of her life, so she will be safe. He came back to his senses and responded with a light smile: "Madame's satisfaction, it's good to ......"
replied without leaking, but her eyes flickered, she really guessed correctly, and her heart was cold. Whether or not the Lee Mansion knew about it beforehand, they all knew the Overseer's intention to arrange for the Lady to attend the banquet alone tonight. Either it was discussed early in the morning, or it was guessed.
Li Fu, either an accomplice; Either they were also chess pieces, but they obviously didn't want to be chess pieces, so they pushed Murong Hualou out alone.
Taking a sip of champagne and swallowing, Murong Hualou smiled: Does she really look so good?
The splendid music gradually stopped. At the end of the song, the people dispersed, and the seats were gradually filled. The master of ceremonies in the white tuxedo came on the stage, said a few words of blessing in a loud voice, and said: "Today, I am very honored to invite Mrs. Bai to play a piano piece solo, adding a lot of color to the birthday banquet of the old lady...... The piano is ready, please Madame Bai! ”
As soon as these words came out, there was silence all around, and the surrounding noisy voices sounded.
Mrs. Bai is an old-fashioned woman from the mainland, who has never stayed in the foreign country and does not understand fashion, Yuzhou has already spread the word, and many people have come to see the clumsiness of Murong Painting Building. Now the Li Mansion has made this arrangement, which is really incomprehensible. Is such a blatant bullying of the Overseer's wife offending the White Overseer?
Adjutant Li seemed to be expecting, he pretended to be stunned and glanced at Murong Hualou, and said in a low voice, "Madam, how can they be like this, knowing that you don't know how to play the piano", after that, he wanted to go to the high platform and ask the master of ceremonies to change the program.
Murong Hualou suddenly made a move and grabbed his arm. The strength of her palm is quite strong, and when she grabbed Adjutant Li, her middle finger and thumb were hooked, pinching an acupuncture point, Adjutant Li's body seemed to be transmitted by strong electricity, and her steps were weak for a while, and she couldn't move a single step.
Murong Hualou's eyes were like thunder, and he glanced at him, then let go of him and said loudly: "My honor!" Then he changed into a soft and charming demeanor. The sternness of his eyes just now is like a mirror.
Adjutant Li watched as she lifted her feet and walked away.
Only then did she know that this was the beginning, and the purpose was just to let others know that she was just a mainland lady, and she was Mrs. Bai! She has no background, no background, rustic and wooden!
Since the stage is set up, they can't help singing alone, and they can't treat her as a prop. She also wants to be an actress. Murong Hualou smiled, originally thinking that she was coming out to see the world, but she forced her to push herself to a high place.
Want to take advantage of her? She's never been a good pawn!
Not only Adjutant Li was surprised, but the guests around him were even more surprised.
Augustine saw her from afar, a red cheongsam with a lotus pattern, a curling figure, brisk steps, a smile in the corners of her eyes, and in front of the black and white piano, she seemed to be a bouquet of flowers that were gorgeous to the extreme.
Such a woman has a beauty that touches her heart.
The wine glass in his hand paused slightly, and the dragon pattern jade wrench between Augustine's thumbs reflected the faint light of red wine, whether bright or dark, whose face was thrilling? Whose shadow seduces the soul?
***********************************************
On the third floor of the Li Mansion, behind the carved pear blossom wooden door, there is a set of ancient Taishi chairs, which sit Li Lianyuan, Mrs. Li, Li Fangjing, and Miss Li Si......
I don't know who said a word, Li Fangjing got up suddenly, his expression was quite solemn: "...... No way! The white clouds returned to that person, the city was very deep, and the means were very fierce, offended him, and we lived in peace in the southeast, and there was no peace for half a day. Why not let him tease him once? I pushed her wife out, but I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to ......"
"Sit down!" Li Lianyuan slowly took the teacup, but his tone was very strict, "Do you think that only tonight we are chess pieces?" No, we are soldiers who cross the river, and we will not turn back if we use it, how can Baiyungui not understand? The real danger is his wife! ”
Li Fangjing thought carefully about his father's words, and suddenly his expression changed greatly, and he seemed to smile for a while: "He...... Really ruthless! Such a beautiful woman, can he also do it? ”
"In front of the family and country, what is the love of children?" Li Lianyuan admired it and sighed, "Only now do I know that Bai Yungui is the real husband!" For the country and the people, he is a hero; But that little lady, he was really vicious...... Fang Jing, if you can learn half of his methods, you can rest assured as a father......"
Li Fangjing smiled: "I don't have the grand ambition of the White Overseer Army in my heart...... As for me, I want to be a hero who saves beauty! ”
With that, he straightened his clothes and got up to leave.
"Don't come here!" Mrs. Li admonished behind her, "In this troubled world before, there was no military power, and life was like duckweed. If you disturb the situation of the White Overseer, this pure land in the southeast will not be able to tolerate you! ”
Li Fangjing evoked a sneer, and his thin lips curled slightly: "...... I don't want to miss out on the show. The bureau laid out by the White Overseer, my father is so wise and still looks on coldly, let alone stupid as me? ”
He walked briskly and faded into the end of the hallway.
Li Lianyuan's face turned pale.
"Don't blame the master, he is not sensible......" Mrs. Li persuaded.
"He is too young and vigorous, and he has to touch the wall several times before he knows the old man's good words! Let him go, I want to see what kind of scene he can make between the rooms! Li Lianyuan slammed the teacup on the table, the lid of the cup jumped up, and there was a loud bang, like someone's heartstrings.
