The small flower hall of the Overseer's Mansion was full of guests, from well-dressed ladies and ladies to handsome and merry men.

"If this is in the previous dynasty, whose concubine can have such a big pomp?" Gu Ying quietly muttered to Gu Ying, "The way of the world has changed!" ”

Gu Ying nodded.

Gu Mian said that he was old-fashioned, nothing more than jealousy, and the momentum of a concubine in the Overseer's Mansion was stronger than them.

In the future, when they become wives, they may not have such grandeur!

The two sisters sat and searched for prey, and found several handsome sons watching them.

Especially Gu Xuan.

Gu Yan's face flushed slightly, and at the same time he was secretly paying attention.

Then, Gu Yan saw Gu Qingzhou and the fifth aunt come in together.

The fifth aunt is not the most beautiful woman, she is as gentle as jade, elegant and quiet.

Compared with the fifth aunt, Gu Qingzhou was a little more colorful, the brilliant light of the crystal lamp fell on her eyes, her bright eyes reflected the lights, and her own brilliance flowed, which was extraordinarily bright.

Looking at it this way, Gu Qingzhou can be regarded as a delicate beauty.

I don't know if it's because of the light, or because she's grown up.

"Who's that?" Someone asked quietly, a little yearning for Gu Qingzhou's bearing.

None of the guests present had participated in the last dance party where the Overseer's Mansion took care of Gu Qingzhou, so they didn't know each other, so they only said, "It's a relative of the fifth aunt, right?" ”

"Fifth aunt's relative, maybe a young lady from a poor family?" There was a nouveau riche man who was thinking about it.

Everyone knows that the fifth aunt is too poor.

Since she is a young lady from a poor family, she can pursue to be an aunt's wife, which is not in vain a romantic story.

Someone felt ripples in their hearts.

The fifth aunt came in, and the banquet officially began.

Tonight's banquet is old-fashioned, mainly eating and drinking, and there are squeakers on the stage.

The dishes are rich, but everyone still feels that something is missing.

Why do you want them to dance, drink, and exchange feelings, otherwise wouldn't they come for nothing?

After the feast, the table was removed as desired, and only a long table was set up around the flower hall, with wine and snacks.

The commentators also went down to a band of the White Russians.

The dance party begins.

Gu Qingzhou stood by the window in the southwest corner, silently holding a wine cup.

She deliberately paid attention to the movement outside.

Someone asked her to dance, and she also refused.

"Miss, let's do a dance." There was a middle-aged man, who was still unwilling to give up after being rejected, licking his face.

Gu Qingzhou's eyes sank slightly, and he laughed in a low voice: "Do you know who I am?" ”

The gloomy appearance of her eyes is very similar to Si Xingpei, which she learned from Si Xingpei.

"Get out of the way, or someone will kill you." Gu Qingzhou said indifferently.

The man was a little frightened by her, and he rolled away without the guts of color.

The fifth aunt had already been surrounded by her own relatives, and she had no time to accompany Gu Qingzhou.

"Sister Gu, why don't you dance?" Si Qiongzhi took the arm of a male companion and walked towards Gu Qingzhou.

She introduced the male partner, "This is Qu Sanshao." ”

Then she said to Qu Gongzi, "Sanshao, please ask Sister Gu to dance." ”

"Nope." Gu Qingzhou's eyes were quiet, but a few wisps of cold light suddenly appeared, falling on Qu Sanshao.

Qu Gongzi knew the current affairs very well, and knew that Gu Qingzhou didn't like him, so he smiled and walked away.

When Si Qiongzhi was about to leave, Gu Qingzhou grabbed her hand: "Qiongzhi, let's talk for a while." ”

She pulled Si Qiongzhi and stood under the windowsill of the flower hall, and the two of them talked.

Si Qiongzhi was confused, probably considering that she would have to be cleaned up when she turned back, Si Qiongzhi was in a good mood and was extremely patient with Gu Qingzhou.

In particular, the watch in Gu Qingzhou's hand is a gold strap, inlaid with a whole row of small diamonds, extremely luxurious and expensive, and dazzling.

Si Qiongzhi's mood was even better.

"Winter came very early this year." Gu Qingzhou and Si Qiongzhi greeted each other, "I didn't expect such a heavy rain, it was bitterly cold." ”

Si Qiongzhi didn't feel cold, she echoed Gu Qingzhou's words.

Gu Qingzhou was full of these nonsense, saying that the rain was very cold for a while, and saying that today's fish soup was too thick and not very tasty.

When Si Qiongzhi wanted to leave, Gu Qingzhou grabbed her arm: "Qiongzhi, do you know which tailor's shop has a good cheongsam?" ”

Si Qiongzhi didn't want her to see the clues, so she endured it and greeted her one by one.

"I only know that there is a shop, and the cheongsam is very good." Si Qiongzhi said.

While listening to Si Qiongzhi's words, Gu Qingzhou secretly paid attention to the movements outside.

She heard footsteps first, far away, but very quickly.

Gu Qingzhou put his hand behind his back, gently took off the watch chain, took it off and put it in his hand.

Si Qiongzhi was still answering Gu Qingzhou's question: "The material must be brittle, so embroidery is the most test of Master's ability."

As she spoke, Gu Qingzhou suddenly grabbed her hand.

Si Qiongzhi was slightly surprised, and at the same time she also heard footsteps, and she was overjoyed: "Abba is here!" ”

There are many and complicated footsteps, and I walked towards the flower hall.

The moment Si Qiongzhi was distracted, Gu Qingzhou put the watch on Si Qiongzhi's wrist and fastened the bracelet!

"What are you doing!" Si Qiongzhi was shocked.

She never thought that Gu Qingzhou would be so upright and wear the watch on her hand.

You can't wear this watch!

Si Qiongzhi was half angry, she was wary of Gu Qingzhou's conspiracy, but she didn't expect Gu Qingzhou to come directly to Yangmou and swagger to harm Si Qiongzhi.

Si Qiongzhi was shocked and confused, but her wrist was a little thicker than Gu Qingzhou's wrist, and the strap was stuck, she untied it for a long time, and the buckle was not unfastened.

"This slut, how can she be like this, why doesn't she play tricks!" Si Qiongzhi was about to cry.

She did a lot of calculations, and even calculated that Gu Qingzhou would suspect that there was something wrong with this watch, and then calculated how Gu Qingzhou would handle the watch.

Si Qiongzhi has all the ways to deal with it, she will definitely make Gu Qingzhou unable to explain.

However, the only thing she didn't calculate was that Gu Qingzhou was so blatant and straightforwardly put it on Si Qiongzhi's wrist!

was so simple and rude, it disrupted Si Qiongzhi's plan, and Si Qiongzhi was completely panicked.

And the Overseer has already stepped into the flower hall.

There was a sudden silence in the flower hall, and everyone looked at the overseer in surprise.

Si Qiongzhi's appearance of bowing his head and trying to untie his strap was particularly eye-catching, and fell into the eyes of Si Overseer.

When the overseer saw the watch, the eagerness and anxiety in his heart dissipated, and his heart fell to the ground, and he gave the adjutant a look.

While the adjutant walked towards Si Qiongzhi, Si Dujun laughed loudly: "It's very lively, everyone came to celebrate the fifth aunt's birthday, it's very good." ”

His laughter made the oppressive atmosphere in the room suddenly ease.

At the same time, the two adjutants had already taken Si Qiongzhi away from the side door.

The fifth aunt was too puzzled, wanting to see what was going on, but she was afraid of arousing the suspicion of the guests, so she was stunned.

"What the hell is going on?" The fifth aunt was too confused.

Si Dujun walked up to his aunt's wife, and the adjutant took out a brocade box, and he handed it to his aunt: "Happy birthday." ”

As a result, the guests thought that the overseer had come in a hurry to celebrate his aunt's birthday.

The fifth aunt took the brocade box and said with a bright smile: "The Overseer has a heart." ”

After saying a few words, the fifth aunt said to the guests: "Everyone dance, don't be stunned." ”

When the atmosphere rose, the fifth aunt accompanied Si Dujun and left through the side door of the flower hall, and her maid Xiuxiu and Gu Qingzhou also left.

Until the end, the fifth aunt did not come back.

The guests left the Overseer's Mansion with their stomachs full of doubts.

The two sisters also talked and laughed with the two sons, and the other party even offered to send them back, but Gu Yan did not agree.

"Sister, why don't you agree?" Gu Ying didn't quite understand, she felt that Gu Ying was missing the opportunity.

Gu Yan poked her forehead: "You are stupid, celebrities have to be reserved!" You're so casual, no one else will take you seriously! ”

Gu Ying seems to understand whether she understands or not.

Then, Gu Ying asked again, "Sister, where is Gu Qingzhou?" She seems to have left with the fifth aunt, why don't we wait for her to come home? ”

"What are you waiting for her?" Gu Yan was annoyed, "She will be a member of the Si family in the future, where will she remember us?" ”

The sisters left, the guests also left the table, and no one thought that something big was happening in the outer study not far away.

More than a dozen personal attendants were closely guarded, and Si Doujun sat alone in the side hall of the study, and Si Qiongzhi, Gu Qingzhou and others were standing opposite him.

The overseer's face was quiet, his eyes were like a deep pool, and the lamp in the study cast a thin layer of light on his face, making his silence look solemn and majestic.

He silently looked at a watch.

This watch was taken off from Si Qiongzhi's wrist with his own eyes.

"Abba, it's true, it was Sister Gu who suddenly put it on my hand, it's not mine!" Si Qiongzhi explained, his expression was very anxious.

The Overseer did not speak.

The fifth aunt also saw the problem at this time.

This watch is unusual.

This was bought for her by her maid Xiuxiu, saying that it was a thank you for Gu Qingzhou. Sending something to thank Gu Qingzhou was also Xiuxiu's idea.

The fifth aunt was too silent, and her eyes swirled back and forth on the faces of Si Qiongzhi and Si Dujun.

"Qingzhou, where did you get this watch?" After a while, Si Dujun finally raised his eyes, and the light was reflected in his eyes, and his eyes were soft.

"It's not mine, it's Miss Three." Gu Qingzhou said, "I can't afford to buy a watch like this. ”

The fifth aunt's heart turned sharply.

Although she didn't understand why Gu Qingzhou said this, Gu Qingzhou refused to admit it, indicating that there was really something wrong with the watch.

The fifth aunt thought too much that Xiuxiu went to buy the watch, and Xiuxiu deliberately led her and Gu Qingzhou to the outer study, and even Xiuxiu exclaimed, deliberately alarming the adjutant and letting the adjutant see them passing by.

Everything says that there is a conspiracy!

Although the fifth aunt didn't know why Xiuxiu was involved, she couldn't believe that Xiuxiu would betray her, but at this moment, the fifth aunt was too decisive to have an idea.

"Abba, it's not mine!" Si Qiongzhi's haste had already subsided, with a little helplessness, "It's really Sister Gu, she wore it on my hand, and I'm still confused." ”

At this time, Xiuxiu, the maid of the fifth aunt, said: "Overseer, this is Miss Gu's, it was given to Miss Gu by the fifth aunt herself, I was present at the time, and I saw it with my own eyes. ”
