The Epic Revenge Chapter 372: Cousin
Si Mu didn't return home for two nights, Gu Qingzhou thought he went to Wenrou Township.
Seeing that his military uniform was slightly messy now, Gu Qingzhou remembered that he had gone to the camp.
"I have something to tell you," he said.
Gu Qingzhou stopped, looked at him, and waited for the next paragraph.
"...I'm married to my concubine, so I don't need to prepare." Si Mu said.
When he spoke, his face was still stern, and indifference poured out of the corner of his eyes.
Gu Qingzhou has something to do today, so she is not very interested in Smourna's concubine.
She suddenly remembered the past.
Before Simu knew her and Si Xingpei's secret, he was a very gentleman. Even if she was blackmailed, he would still pay for her coffee.
Now he is mean and cold-faced, somewhat Gu Qingzhou angry.
Because of these thoughts, Gu Qingzhou restrained her absent-mindedness and said seriously: "Don't be sad, just pick a better one."
The cream under Smoo's eyes is more intense.
He seems to have something to say and wants to blurt it out right away. But after opening his lips slightly, he swallowed his words again.
Hiding his emotions, Simu also changed the subject, he said: "You don't have to go in the morning, your family will take care of it, you can come with me at four o'clock in the afternoon."
Gu Qingzhou said: "Then I will call the Overseer's House first."
The call was made, and the steward took it.
"Young madam, everything is ready, it won't be a hindrance for you to come over late." The steward said.
Gu Qingzhou nodded.
Si Mu stood behind her, hesitating to speak.
Gu Qingzhou is suspicious.
She is not a fool, but she bears too many things in her heart and seldom puts her mind on Simu.
Si Mu's hesitation and incomprehension, Gu Qingzhou suddenly understood.
She doesn't know if she wants to break it.
While hesitating, Simu pointed it out: "I didn't plan to take a concubine. What I said that day was just.... I was just joking."
He wasn't actually joking.
He is testing.
He tried to melt the ice wall between himself and Gu Qingzhou.
And Gu Qingzhou knew very well that his fantasy should be ruthlessly extinguished, so he said: "But I'm sincere! When things are done, I want to help you marry a concubine with two rooms!"
Simus' face sank again.
"Don't bother you!" He snorted and turned around, his face sinking into frost.
The former Sim was also quite ruthless, but at that time, he had to maintain his demeanor no matter how ruthless.
Si Mu went back to the room to catch up on sleep, and Gu Qingzhou also went upstairs.
After breakfast, Gu Qingzhou had nothing to do anyway, so Gu Qingzhou took Mulan and Mushan for a walk in the yard.
Walking for half an hour, her mind was on tonight's banquet.
At half past three in the afternoon, Gu Qingzhou went downstairs.
Si Mu was ready, waiting for her on the sofa in the living room.
As soon as he looked up, he saw Gu Qingzhou, walking downstairs.
She was wearing a silver-red long-sleeved cheongsam. The bright colors, like sunset clouds, fell all over her body. She wandered in the rays of the sun, the red coloring her eyes, and her eyebrows became more and more beautiful.
Step by step, Si Mu only felt that her beauty could push back the prosperity of this room.
His breath was a little tight, and he coughed hard to hide it.
"The clothes are nice." Sima said, without the indifference of the morning, his attitude improved slightly.
Simus is so unpredictable.
"Thank you." Gu Qingzhou smiled, "You're pretty good too."
This time to the Governor's Mansion, the driver drove, Simu and Gu Qingzhou sat side by side in the back seat.
Gu Qingzhou rarely uses perfume, but she always has a faint fragrance on her body. It is the rose scent of shampoo, which seems to be mixed into her body fragrance, with warmth and charm.
Her fingers are slender and white, resting on her lap.
Si Mu wanted to hold her hand.
With such a thought in his mind, he stretched out his hand, but before he could touch it, Gu Qingzhou had already noticed it.
Gu Qingzhou pretended to twiddle the blue silk inadvertently, raised Hao's wrist, and avoided Simu's hand.
Si Mu's hand was lost, and he was a little sober, and took it back angrily.
They went out at four o'clock, but arrived at the Overseer's Mansion after six o'clock. It was already dark. At the door of the Overseer's Mansion, the big street lamp has been lit up, and the red light is shining brightly.
The door is full of luxury cars.
Gu Qingzhou and Simu entered the door, and they were guests along the way except for their personal attendants.
A banquet with laughter, guests are happy.
The aroma of the wine overflows from nowhere, seducing the sense of smell, and the air can also be intoxicating.
As soon as Gu Qingzhou entered the door, Sim said, "Hold me."
He flexes his arms naturally.
Gu Qingzhou's wrist was placed in his arms, and the two entered the governor's mansion.
"Young Master, Young Madam."
Someone greets them.
Gu Qingzhou responded with a smile.
Si Mu's expression was indifferent, just nodding and ignoring him.
As soon as he entered the flower hall, Gu Qingzhou saw Mrs. Si talking with Dong Jinxuan and Mrs. Dong.
When the guests came, they all walked up to Mrs. Si, and Mrs. Si introduced with a smile: "This is Dashuai Dong and Mrs. Dong."
And behind Mrs. Dong, there are three handsome and tall sons standing, which is even more eye-catching.
Gu Qingzhou and Simu also came to the front.
"Why did you come?" Mrs. Si smiled kindly, but her eyes flicked across Gu Qingzhou's face, and the smile in her words was reproachful.
Mrs. Si has been socializing for an hour.
"We took a nap for a while and got up late, Mom." Gu Qingzhou said.
Mrs. Dong chuckled.
The young couple got up late for a nap, should I go into detail?
Mrs. Si's expression was even more complicated.
She didn't continue to find fault, for fear that Gu Qingzhou would say more explicit words.
Gu Qingzhou is shameless, and Mrs. Si still wants it.
After changing the subject, Mrs. Dong asked Gu Qingzhou: "Will Mrs. Yan come?"
"Yes." Gu Qingzhou smiled.
The guests entered the table one after another. Gu Qingzhou stood beside Mrs. Si, while Si Mu stood behind Gu Qingzhou and Mrs. Si.
Someone came in to say hello. Gu Qingzhou helped Mrs. Si to introduce that today's banquet was held for Dong Jinxuan and Mrs. Dong.
The politicians and celebrities in Yuecheng were amazed by Mrs. Dong's beauty, and then their eyes fell on the young marshals of the Dong family.
The young marshals of the Dong family are all beautiful and handsome.
At seven o'clock in the evening, Mrs. Yan came with the children.
"Mrs. Yan is here." Gu Qingzhou reminded Mrs. Dong in a low voice.
Mrs. Dong's smile brightened.
Speaking, Mrs. Yan and her party came to the front.
"...I wanted to visit you yesterday, but I didn't think I didn't have that opportunity." As soon as Mrs. Dong met, she became enthusiastic, and she changed her accent to reveal a Beijing accent.
However, she soon discovered that Mrs. Yan had a very fluent Yuecheng accent.
"It's really unfortunate. When the banquet is over and I'll be free another day, I'll invite you to my humble residence." Mrs. Yan smiled.
Mrs. Yan's face is gentle and honest, and she looks like she has no scheming, like raising a woman who doesn't understand conspiracy in her house; Mrs. Yan's daughter, Yan Luoshui, has an ordinary appearance and a quiet demeanor. Welcome, not excluded, is the best kind of bullying.
Yan Yiyuan, the fifth young master of the Yan family, is innocent and simple.
Mrs. Dong glanced at them, and finally her eyes fell on Yan Luoshui.
Yan Luoshui met her eyes, smiling slightly, looking a little shy.
"Yan Xinnong is scheming, but the children raised are not satisfactory." Mrs. Dong thought to herself.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Dong's smile deepened.
As the guests gradually arrived seventy or eighty percent, Gu Qingzhou saw a black figure in the crowd.
There are many men wearing black dresses tonight, but Gu Qingzhou saw the man at a glance.
His stature is well-proportioned and slender, his entire body is black, gorgeously black, and his fabrics are extremely delicate. His temples were neat and tidy, and a very fresh rose was pinned to the pocket of his suit jacket.
It's a long pavilion.
Gu Qingzhou stared.
This person, is he still in Yuecheng?
It's been several months since he treated him. Although he revealed at the time that he wanted to stay in Yuecheng, Gu Qingzhou thought it might not be.
Unexpectedly, he really intends to take root in Yuecheng.
Last time he came with the He family, so what about this time?
Gu Qingzhou personally ordered the invitations for this banquet, but she did not invite him.
She stepped forward slowly.
Gu Qingzhou's silver-red cheongsam is embroidered with two gold thread peonies. Under the reflection of the crystal lamp, she has a bright light all over her body, making her facial features more beautiful and charming.
She is radiant, more beautiful and dazzling than ever, with a radiant radiance.
"Young madam." Chang Ting smiled and greeted her.
Gu Qingzhou smiled warmly: "Mr. Changting, I don't seem to have invited you."
She couldn't really call him "Mr. Chang", it felt weird anyway, so she had to put her first and last name together. Calling it like that, I thought his name was Japanese.
Gu Qingzhou suddenly suffocated: is he Japanese?
From his speech and demeanor, there seems to be no trace of foreignness.
The long pavilion smiled, with a gorgeous smile, which seemed to be able to compare the men and women in the room. He was about to explain when he heard someone calling him: "Changting?"
As soon as Gu Qingzhou turned around, he saw Dong Jinxuan's eldest son, Dong Ming.
Dong Ming walked over quickly and said to Changting, "You just came? I'm looking for you everywhere."
After all, he saw Gu Qingzhou.
Gu Qingzhou is Dong Ming's future sister-in-law. He is very respectful to Gu Qingzhou: "Young Madam, this is my cousin Changting, do you know him?"
Gu Qingzhou was a little surprised.
It turned out that Chang Ting was a relative of the Dong family.
This is beyond Gu Qingzhou's expectations.
Gu Qingzhou smiled softly: "Mr. Changting is the cousin of Dong Dashao?"
"It's the cousin of the distant house." Dong Ming seemed to respect Gu Qingzhou, and explained with a correct attitude, "Changting is full of people, and his surname is translated. The young lady calls him casually, and you don't need to call him Changting. Sir."
Full...
A dozen years ago, the world was full of people. After the fall of the Qing court, many Manchus formed a royalist party, inspiring to overthrow the revolution and rebuild the court.
Gu Qingzhou's eyes darkened slightly.
Chang Ting had a natural expression, and said softly to Dong Ming: "Cousin, you have been studying abroad, and you have lived in the north all year round. Today, you said something wrong."
Dong Ming is puzzled.
Chang Ting laughed: "The south is the revolutionary government, and they are very interested in the Manchus. You shouldn't say my identity, the young lady will be nervous."
