Fingertip dandy, the Republic of China Jia women want to start a career

The day of Mrs. Li's birthday party has arrived.Everyone in the Zhou family got up early that day, and everything was ready.

Zhilan put on the pink long-sleeved dress she had prepared earlier, fashionable flesh-colored stockings on her legs, and a pair of black round-toed leather shoes with loop buttons on her feet. Her hair was slightly rolled up and she put on light makeup, making her look even petite and cute.

Yuehua Muqing wore a Chinese-style robe and a Western-style suit, and her hair was combed neatly.Yuehua is tall and tall, and his robe makes him suave and suave, while Mu Qing's plaid woolen dress makes him look neat, elegant and gentle.

The most rare thing is that the always plain old lady changed into a long crimson cheongsam and wore a string of pearl necklaces around her neck. She must have redeemed the jewelry from the pawnshop.The old man is wearing a brand-new dark blue brocade robe with exquisite Suzhou embroidery, which is calm and suitable for his identity.

Two cars were arranged today.Steward Zhou directed his servants to load the birthday gift into the last car.Today's servants are also dressed up, and the servants assigned to go with them are even more decent.

Zhilan held the jewelry box in her hand, thinking of the excitement Mu Qing had given her yesterday when she gave her the necklace of phoenix wearing peony, this is indeed a perfect piece: golden phoenix with ruby ​​phoenix eyes, lifelike feathers, graceful peony lace A little bit of ruby ​​hook is really beautiful.For this purpose, he specially asked someone to create an exquisite jewelry box to hold it.

At that time, she saw that the painting on her blueprint had become a glittering golden object before her eyes, and she couldn't help but said happily: "It's really because you have a heart, brother, that you have such a stunning necklace."

Mu Qing smiled and said, "Do you like it? I see that these rubies were added by Master Guo, and there are still some changes from your sketch. What do you think?"

"It's exquisite. As expected of Wan De's master craftsman with the best craftsmanship, he is thoughtful." Zhi Lan praised.

"Unfortunately, you plan to give this piece of jewelry to your aunt as a birthday gift, otherwise I really want to give it to you as a token of my affection."

"What are you talking about, don't be reckless."

"Yes, obey!" Mu Qing was extremely happy, Zhi Lan could feel the joy in his heart, she had rarely seen him so happy.

Thinking of this, Zhilan held the box in her hand tightly, and Mu Qing who was beside her looked at her with good eyes, and shook her hand comfortingly.

Walking to Li's house, the gate of the garden was opened, and cars filed in.The housekeeper of Li's house arranged for the servants to move down for the birthday ceremony, and the Li family had special personnel to record, guide the way, etc., and guide the servants to rest in the side room after the handover was completed.

Master Li and his wife brought Shao Wen Shao Wu and dozens of butler servants to welcome the guests at the door.Li Shaowen had spotted Zhi Lan in the crowd a long time ago, and saw a smile on her face, and Zhi Lan also saw him, and nodded slightly as a greeting to him.

The members of the Zhou family walked into the living room.A lot of distinguished guests were invited today, including members of various ministries of the city, police chiefs, celebrities in the business world, police detectives from concessions, barristers, etc., and even popular local movie stars. Even Chief Sun sent his own My nephew came to congratulate me.

The old man took the Yuehua brothers to exchange greetings among the celebrities, and suddenly saw the old man's family coming in from a distance, and hurried over to talk to them.

Master Qi's family stood at the door, and everyone except the old lady had arrived.Seeing Qi Shan, Zhou Yuehua's eyes lit up. Since he was grounded and busy raising funds, he hasn't seen Qi Shan for nearly a month, and he hasn't heard from her since he wrote to her.

It was the first time he felt this way in years of wandering around.Seeing Qi Shan, Zhi Lan turned to Yue Hua involuntarily, saw his eager eyes, and with her womanly intuition, she thought that big brother was going to admit defeat this time.

Zhi Lan touched Mu Qing with her elbow, and whispered: "Brother, look at the beauties of the Qi family, I'm right!"

Mu Qing smiled and said: "You are right. But I have said that you are the most beautiful sister, how can others compare?"

Zhilan smiled when she heard this.Her gaze was attracted by Song Yuchun, the fourth concubine of the Qi family. They had never met each other before, and this was the first time they met. The unclear temperament secretly attracted him.

Looking closely, Yuchun's complexion is very bad. She is very thin, with a bun on the back of her head, and her illness has made her haggard and old.Zhilan and her stared at each other, their eyes seemed to contain a thousand words, although it was the first time they met, Zhilan actually noticed the sadness in her eyes, she really wanted to run to Yuchun to comfort her.

Reason prevented the overflow of emotions, she just whispered to Mu Qing: "It's strange, why do I feel that Madam Yu is so kind, as if I have some kind of relationship with her."

"Perhaps her frail appearance reminds you of your mother subconsciously. When I saw her for the first time, I also had a very friendly feeling." Mu Qing understood her.

"I think so too."

"En." Mu Qing said.He himself didn't notice it at all, but a young lady opposite him was also quietly looking at him.

The old man exchanged greetings with the old man Qi, even though they were upset because of Yuehua's matter, they were still polite on the scene.

Yuchun has been looking for an opportunity to talk to Zhilan, and took this opportunity to pull her over and ask her carefully.She kindly asked her age, birthday, hobbies, etc., and Zhilan answered them one by one.For some reason, my answer seemed to touch her heart, and Yuchun actually shed two lines of tears.

"Madam Yu, Madam Yu?" Zhilan asked strangely, "Did I say something wrong?"

"No, I thought of something else. I'm glad to meet you." Yuchun wiped her tears with a handkerchief.

When Qi Shan heard Yuchun's words, she felt that she was in an abnormal mood, and Su Niang never shed tears for no reason in front of others.She looked at her mother, Yuchun wiped away her tears and calmed down.

Master Qi said to Yuchun: "Today is Mrs. Li's birthday, and everyone is here in high spirits. How is it proper for you to cry at Zhou's niece?"

Yaochun smiled at Master Qi: "My sister is never used to such big occasions, and she is expected to lose her composure. Master, don't worry too much about it."

Master Qi snorted coldly after hearing this, and then smiled at Master Zhou: "Brother, I'm sorry for making you laugh."

The old man said politely: "It's okay, it's okay."

Zhilan didn't like this kind of atmosphere: "Father, I want to drink something."

Master Zhou said with a gentle smile: "You young people don't have to sit with us, go!"

Yuehua's thoughts suddenly became lively, and she frequently watched Qi Shan.

Upon seeing this, Master Qi also said to his daughters: "You guys go too."

He suddenly thought of something and added: "Shanshan, stay here and stay with your mother."

"Yes." Qi Shan was rather disappointed.

"No, no, no. Shanshan, go play with your sisters, it doesn't matter to me, go quickly." Yuchun flatly refused.

Master Qi gave Yuchun a glance, feeling uncomfortable.Bichun understood Master Qi's intentions the most, and hurriedly answered, "Sister Yu, you see that you are already weak, and you shed tears just now. We all stayed with Master, but we ignored you as a patient and let Miss Shan take care of you. , it’s easy to take care of, isn’t it?”

"No need, I know my body well, so don't worry about it." Yuchun said bluntly, "Shanshan, why don't you go!"

"Yes, mother!" Qi Shan obeyed, turned and left.

"I'll settle the score with you when I go back." Master Qi was furious at Yuchun secretly, but Yuchun didn't seem to hear it, his face was expressionless and he didn't say a word.

Mu Qing accompanied Zhi Lan to the dining table, and he said, "Lan'er, I'll get you what you want to eat."

"Actually, I don't want to eat, but I just don't like the atmosphere over there. Hey, sister Ru is over there."

"Let's go."

They went to the dining table.It was as quiet as a person standing with a small dish of cake in his hand.

"Sister Ru, why are you alone, what about Uncle and the others?" Zhi Lan asked.

"Father and the others are resting in the room, and mother is talking with my aunt. The other brothers and sisters in the family are still young. You know, I can't talk to them. I might as well come over and get some food."

"How does your cousin Shaowen treat you?" Zhilan asked intentionally.

"Oh, don't mention it. I offended him for some reason, and he was just as distant and indifferent to me as before. I couldn't figure out what he was thinking." Jingru looked frustrated, "I thought things had turned around, It's just another joy."

"Sister Ru, don't be sad, maybe he's too busy." Zhi Lan knew it, she couldn't explain it, she could only comfort her.

"Maybe I've never understood him before." Jingru said with a wry smile, "I'm already a little discouraged. It's said that women's minds are hard to fathom, brother Shao Wen's mind is even more unpredictable!"

Zhilan dared not talk to her too much, for fear of making mistakes.

"You guys stand for a while, I'll go over there and get some tea." Jingru said and left.

After listening to their conversation, Mu Qing fully understood that Li Shaowen's ulterior motive was not in drinking, but in Zhilan in front of him.

"I feel really sorry for sister Ru." Zhilan looked at Jingru's somewhat lonely back, and said annoyedly, "If she knows that Li Shaowen is trying to pursue me, how will she think of me, and how will I explain to her?"

"It has nothing to do with you, it's all about that nasty Li Shaowen, who eats the pot and looks after the bowl." Mu Qing said quietly, "It disturbed our Zhou family's house."

The most frightening thing is that I can't do anything to change all this.This feeling of powerlessness spread from his heart to his limbs, hitting him heavily.

Seeing that he was silent, Zhi Lan said softly: "This room is so stuffy, let's go for a walk!"

Mu Qing silently accompanied her, and the two walked to the back garden. The back garden is the most exquisite part of Li's house. Both of them had something on their minds, so they found a quiet place and sat down in the gazebo in the garden.

From the front mansion, it is completely unexpected that the back garden is so exquisite. The builder seems to intend to refer to the Suzhou garden circle, pavilions, waterside pavilions, moon gates, artificial hills and rocks, but also built the terrain. In order to echo the front mansion, a clever design was made.

"It's really comfortable here." Zhi Lan raised her head, the breeze had already begun to feel a little warm, as the saying goes, if the wind blows from the willows, it means the weather is getting warmer.

"Yes." Mu Qing replied.

Suddenly, a sound was heard behind the bushes by the wall.

"Someone is there!" Zhilan was taken aback.
