Chapter 139: The Beginning of the Royal Banquet
The royal evening went on as scheduled, and the splendid hall was filled with a variety of drinks and refreshments.
This is especially extravagant in an era when nutrients are the main source of life.
The various statues of the gods of beauty made of gold emit a halo of light under the light, making people feel as if they are caught in the splendor of a kaleidoscope.
In the middle is the dance floor, which is completely non-reflective, which is necessary to protect the privacy of the distinguished guests, and the dance party is still playing soothing music.
There are also some guests who arrive early, either sitting on the sofa or standing with wine glasses in hand.
Gu Jiangbai was wearing a formal suit, and he was very white with light blue clothes, but he didn't have the temperament of a gentleman at all, and he was already eating at this time with a plate and a snack.
He was eating happily when his ears were suddenly grabbed.
"It hurts, it hurts!"
It shouldn't be, who would dare to pluck his ears like this in the banquet hall of the royal family!
Looking back, Gu Jiangbai swallowed the thing in his mouth with a grunt, it was his mother, Liu Hongcai, one of the three giants of the parliament.
Although her sons are already very old, she attracted most people's attention as soon as she arrived.
A long silver hair shines in the light, Liu Hongcai's usual dress is very neutral, and she specially wore a long skirt for this banquet, which perfectly outlined her figure, and her curves were very exaggerated. is worthy of being the goddess of the Gang of Ten back then, and even now she is still in her glory.
It's just that she is also known for her hot temper, and no one dares to take a second look.
Liu Hongcai glanced at him obliquely, looking like he hated iron but not steel.
"What did I tell you when I was at home, today's banquet is very important!"
While pulling Gu Jiangbai's collar and straightening the bow tie for him, he looked left and right to see that no one was paying attention and wiped the cream off Gu Jiangbai's mouth.
His hand wiped on the handkerchief in disgust, and a very gentle voice came from behind Liu Hongcai.
"Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, you can't come in a hurry."
Liu Hongcai's husband Gu Cang is like a large Gu Jiangbai, but the temperament of the two is completely different, Gu Cang not only has a good skin, but also a real scholar, a senior professor in the university.
Part of his personality can be seen from his outfit, the color of the bow tie and the clothing are just right, the clothes fit very well without a trace of wrinkles, and on the chest is a golden lion brooch, which is said to be the spiritual reflection of Liu Hongcai.
Liu Hongcai grabbed her husband's arm, "How can I not be in a hurry!" ”
The relationship between the two is very sweet, and the experience of love can always be talked about.
"Tell me, our Xiaobai and Yan Yan grew up together, I thought to myself that this childhood sweetheart is not a matter of course, who knows that now there is a recruitment, you can tell me what year it is, if you want me to say that it is better to fall in love freely."
Gu Jiangbai had just secretly swallowed a piece of pastry, and he almost choked in his throat when he heard what his mother said.
No, it turns out that his mother still has this kind of thought, but he and An Yan are so young!
Gu Cang's voice made people relax when they listened to it.
"This kind of thing depends on fate, just like back then, I would never have thought of it today."
Gu Cang's words seemed to bring Liu Hongcai to twenty years ago, and she nodded with a slightly red face.
Liu Hongcai's blushing is rare to see in a hundred years, but it's a pity that the official generation has not yet arrived at this time, and he has no chance to see it, otherwise he must open his chin.
"That's it, Mom, An Yan and I are good friends, don't mess around!" Gu Jiangbai hurriedly explained.
Liu Hongcai didn't pay attention to it at all, he stretched out his hand and slapped Gu Jiangbai's back three times.
"You're embarrassed to say it! Not at all! Do you know how much effort I put into my future daughter-in-law! You know if you're with her..."
Liu Hongcai suddenly closed his mouth, his chest rose and fell violently, Gu Cang hurriedly pulled her aside and whispered softly, Gu Jiangbai stuck out his tongue and took this opportunity to go to the place where he put snacks on the other side, he hadn't eaten it yet.
In a place that was very hidden and the lights were dim, Gu Cangbai saw an acquaintance.
He tapped the man on the shoulder.
"Brother Yunlong!"
Shi Yunlong turned around, his expression was very surprised, and a little embarrassment appeared on his face after finding that it was Gu Jiangbai.
He rarely wears formal clothes, and the tendons and flesh that he has practiced in the training ground all the year round are not very tacit with this costume, and he always feels very awkward, and as soon as he sees Gu Jiangbai, he remembers the true purpose of this banquet.
That is to introduce the single men inside a circle for the three highnesses.
Gu Jiangbai is still young, and he may not know what this banquet is for, but he is a doorman, after all, his father Shi Miao is famous for being straightforward and not going around and around, because his name was once jokingly called Brother Ten Seconds, but now no one dares to call it.
Thinking about An Yan or his student at the Fourth Naval Academy, although he has dropped out of school now, he still feels so awkward when he appears here.
Shi Yunlong nodded at him.
Gu Jiangbai stood next to him with a plate of pastries and chatted, his mouth still talking.
Shi Yunlong thought to himself that his intention to come to eat was too pure.
The center of the hall suddenly became warmer, Shi Yunlong followed the prestige and narrowed his eyes, it turned out that the eldest prince and the second prince arrived one after another, both of them had blonde hair, the eldest prince inherited his father's hair color, and the second prince actually inherited his mother's red, but in order to get close to the eldest brother, he has always dyed gold.
This kind of banquet was very boring for him, but he couldn't be absent, in order to maintain the demeanor of the royal family, he could only sit on the sofa peacefully, drink with a wine glass, and his eyes were projected on his eldest brother, but no one came to talk to him.
The eldest prince An Jiangning greeted him one by one, behaved decently, and his name gradually appeared in the mouths of the older generation, and he was not a simple character.
But in Shi Yunlong's eyes, hmph, I don't know anything else, but I am used to pretending.
"Brother Yunlong, what are you humming? Wow! Is that Xu Yuanyuan! ”
Gu Jiangbai's voice sounded in his ears, Shi Yunlong had a headache as soon as he heard this name, An Yan has now suspended his studies for special reasons, and Xu Yuanyuan obviously lost her enthusiasm for the military academy after Wen Wenli and An Yan both left the military academy.
I heard that after grinding her father for a long time, he transferred her to the art academy she liked, and learned cooking.
That's right, cooking now counts as an art.
I saw that Xu Yuanyuan was obviously carefully dressed, wearing a pale pink custom dress, a long skirt mopping the floor, and a small glitter on it, under the illumination of the light, the whole person was very dazzling, and her hands were wearing pale pink lace gloves.
In the demeanor of the aristocracy, I can't find any fault.
