Li Haoran will attend the banquet.

Bai Xiuzhu sat in the room for a long time, picking left and right, but still couldn't choose the right clothes.

"Ah Yue, go and bring me the banquet list for tonight, I want to see it."

The name and family background of the invitees are usually recorded on the list, if Li Haoran wants to come, it should also be on the list.

She had never checked the origins of this family. She imagined that such a man with grace and knowledge would not have a bad family background. In ancient times, this man was proficient in all five arts and six arts, and he was quite powerful.

Ah Yue brought the roster, which was a bit worn out. The banquet rosters in the Bai Mansion were all record books, and they were all special books, all in beautiful regular script, small and clear at a glance.

There are rows and rows of words, and there are quite a few people at the banquet. They are all celebrities, sons of ministers of a certain department, and those ladies who are in charge of affairs. Halfway through, there is still no Li Haoran's name.

She frowned, she was impatiently turning the page, and was about to put it down, but by mistake, she turned another page, and suddenly saw his name: Huitong merchant Li Haoran.

Huitong Commercial Bank...why is this name so familiar...

"Huitong Commercial Bank?"

"Miss, what's the matter with you? Are you going to Huitong Commercial Bank?" The maid, Ah Yue, took the roster and swept the room. When she heard Bai Xiuzhu's question, she thought she was talking to herself, so she replied.

Bai Xiuzhu raised her eyebrows, "Tell me about Huitong Company?"

Ah Yue felt strange, why did the lady suddenly ask this question?

However, she did not dare not to answer, "From Beijing to Shanghai, a big firm, I heard that it does business with both Chinese and foreigners. I heard about this firm from buyers in the mansion before. But they said that Huitong is famous. Business is the boss."

The boss is famous?Is there something special?

Bai Xiuzhu tapped Ah Yue's forehead, "Stop teasing me, just tell me."

"The boss is a great Confucian. I heard that he used to give lectures to the nobles in the Qing palace. Didn't they collapse later? He went abroad to study, came back to do business, took a lady from a great family as his wife, and opened a business. It's very powerful. "

merchant?It is indeed a suitable status.

But Bai Xiuzhu didn't believe it was all.

She waved her hand, "Go down and get busy, I'll call you later if I have something to do."

Ah Yue let out an "oh", then turned and left, and ran back in a hurry after going out for a while. "Miss, miss—"

"What's the matter? Hurry up..."

Bai Xiuzhu was still picking out clothes, but when she saw her coming in again, she was still in such a panic, she frowned.

Ah Yue panted, "It's Jin Qiye who came, and he just came out of the prison after saying yes—"

Before she finished speaking, Bai Xiuzhu knew what she was talking about, and walked outside A Yue directly, "I see, you clean up the cabinet for me, I'll go and see him first."

After she came back, she told Bai Xiongqi about Jin Yanxi, and Bai Xiongqi agreed directly. She was a little worried at first, after all, she suspected that Bai Xiongqi ordered it before, so she dared to do it next time. He promised that she still felt strange, thinking about it all afternoon, and now that Jin Yanxi is here, it must be all right.

Jin Yanxi should have gone back to the Jin Mansion, and came directly to the Bai Mansion when she came out, which is unreasonable anyway.

When she went downstairs, she saw that Jin Yanxi had already changed her clothes, and she was sitting on the sofa in the living room. She was wearing a white suit, her hair was well combed, and her handsome face. Except for her depressed expression, she was still the same casual Jin Yanxi. .

He is a man of a family, he is probably very lucky.

Bai Xiuzhu couldn't imagine what would happen to Jin Yanxi if she came from an ordinary family.

She came down the stairs, Jin Yanxi looked up at her.

She frowned, "Are you okay?"

When she raised her eyes, she found that the corners of Jin Yanxi's eyes were slightly bruised, and she suddenly froze, "You—"

Jin Yanxi naturally noticed her eyes, touched the corners of her eyes, "When I went out, I couldn't help but fight with the one who grabbed me."

——It really is something that only Jin Yanxi can do.

Bai Xiuzhu didn't know what to say about him, "When will you be able to do something reliable?"

He was able to lightly talk about his fights with those people, what does he, a young master, care about with those people?

Jin Yanxi just supported her head, looking depressed: "I was scolded by that at home, that's why I came to sit with you early, don't scold me like my father and others, then I can I really don't know where I should go."

Every time she looks so pitiful, Bai Xiuzhu is speechless when she meets Jin Yanxi like this, she sits opposite him, "You must be poor, I think Uncle Jin said you are for your own good, so as to save you from going out all day." I don’t have any knowledge and skills, speaking of it, I heard before I went to Shanghai that you were going to set up a poetry club, how are you doing now?”

Speaking of the poetry club, Jin Yanxi reminded me of Leng Qingqiu. In fact, only the two of them knew about the breakup with Bai Xiuzhu. Outsiders thought they had a good relationship, but it’s better not to talk about it. A lot of trouble.

He started the poetry club just because he fell in love with Leng Qingqiu, and if he left Bai Xiuzhu, he would find others to be nice. "It was said that it was going to be done, but the house has not been found, and there is no suitable place in the old alley. Let's continue to look for it."

"I see that you want to set up a poetry club. You obviously want to find a suitable place and a suitable girl." Bai Xiuzhu heard a lot of rumors, so she said it directly.

Jin Yanxi didn't feel bad about being exposed, he put his hands on his head and looked at the ceiling: "You said it right, but I have feelings for him, and he is ruthless to me..."

This feigned melancholy appearance is really true, there is a bit of a slap in the face.

Bai Xiuzhu sneered, "You are destined for this. If you like someone and make trouble like this, you deserve it."

"I'm telling the truth, no one seems to want to rent out the house in the old alley. I can't help it. It's a serious problem. Xiuzhu, don't hit me."

Jin Yanxi had a depressed expression.

Bai Xiuzhu pondered for a while, "I do know someone who has a house there, but I don't know if it is for rent or sale, so I can ask you another day. Looking at you like this, it's like you can't survive without running a poetry society."

"Eh? That's a good idea." Jin Yanxi recovered immediately, sat upright, and said with a smile, "You know a lot of strange people."

Bai Xiuzhu has indeed met many people in the past two years. Most of the collectors in Beijing are of status and status, or are senior masters in the industry. Some people want to meet but can't see them, but Bai Xiuzhu can be equal to these people In terms of friendship, Bai Xiuzhu's connections can be considered very powerful.Needless to say how deep the relationship is, it is enough to have a good person on the scene.

"The banquet will start soon, why don't you go change your clothes?" Jin Yanxi glanced at the time and reminded her.

Night has fallen, and the lights have been turned on in the front and back of the Bai mansion. Bai Xiuzhu thinks so, she hasn't changed her clothes yet, there are always a lot of banquets, and she will go out to socialize in a while.

"Then you go around by yourself, I'll go first."

"Go ahead and dress up."

Jin Yanxi waved to her, but stood up by herself.

There are always endless banquets in the upper class. Bai Xiuzhu was tired of these things at first, but after experiencing a lot, she got used to it.

Originally I was entangled in what to wear, but after chatting with Jin Yanxi for a while, I felt that every outfit was pleasing to the eye, which is really a strange change of mood.

Now that Jin Yanxi has someone she likes, she seems to be able to let go of many things.

Changing into a lake blue suspender dress, with slightly curly hair hanging down, and wearing small silver-white pearl earrings, Bai Xiuzhu walked out of the room, and when she went down the stairs, she found that many people had already arrived. She stood beside Mrs. Bai and greeted her know somebody.

It was about a little past eight o'clock in the evening, when she saw Li Haoran coming.

This was the first time he appeared in front of Bai Xiuzhu in this capacity.

As a rule, the master should go up and talk to him.

Someone introduced Bai Xiuzhu, "This is Li Haoran, the young master of Huitongpu, Miss Bai..."

Wearing a black suit and a dark blue bow tie, Li Haoran greeted Bai Xiuzhu gently and neatly: "Miss Bai, hello."

At that moment, seeing Li Haoran's serious appearance, she really wanted to laugh, because the two of them clearly knew each other, but now that this guy pretended not to know each other and met for the first time, his eyes were still narrow and dark, which made her feel a little... ...can't help but laugh.

"Mr. Li, hello. This way please—"

Anyone can do this kind of thing.

No one could tell that they were acquaintances, except Jin Yanxi.

At Jin Yanxi's dining table, he just added a glass of red wine for himself, when he turned around, he saw Bai Xiuzhu leading Li Haoran to this side, the red wine almost spilled, he stared blankly for a long time, then suddenly put down the wine glass The wine bottle came over and walked directly in front of them.

As soon as Bai Xiuzhu saw him coming, she knew it was going to be bad, so she rushed in front of him and said, "Yanxi, let's talk about it later."

When Jin Yanxi heard this, she immediately raised her eyebrows, looked Li Haoran up and down for a long time, and clicked her tongue. "My young master really misjudged me at the beginning."

"Where is it, I feel that Jin Qishao you—well, you have sharp eyes." Obviously teasing, Li Haoran's expression was half a smile, and now he felt very uncomfortable, standing next to Bai Xiuzhu but pretending to be a stranger.In fact, this is not necessary, it is just to avoid suspicion. Before he came to be Bai Xiuzhu's piano teacher under the pseudonym Mu Zizheng, he had undergone a rough make-up, and now he should change his attire. He should not be acquainted with the people at the banquet in the mansion.

But even if he was discovered, he didn't think there was anything wrong. There were a lot of reasons to explain the reason.

He is teasing Jin Yanxi at the moment, Jin Yanxi is not an idiot, he heard the meaning clearly, but he was not annoyed, he just took Bai Xiuzhu with one hand, "Xiuzhu, let's go and see, Bamei coming."

The Eighth Miss of the Jin Mansion, Mei Li, had already arrived at the door. Seeing Bai Xiuzhu and Jin Yanxi standing there, she rushed over and rushed into Bai Xiuzhu's arms.

"Sister Xiuzhu, you are wrong. It is clear that you don't like to visit our house when you come back from Shanghai. The same goes for Seventh Brother. He often doesn't come back, and no one will play with me anymore." Mei Li was very upset and pouted. mouth, looked up and saw that Jin Yanxi was also here. "Huh? Seventh brother, why did you come so early?"

Jin Yanxi is also not easy to care about with children, he just heard the girl speak ill of him, "Hmph, I'm an adult, so I'm naturally better than you."

The two brothers and sisters began to quarrel endlessly, Bai Xiuzhu occasionally interjected, but Li Haoran just stood and watched, watching the noisy siblings and Bai Xiuzhu.

Tired of talking, Bai Xiuzhu said: "Let's go over there and sit down first. You are tired from standing. Young Master Li, go this way."

Still pretending to be a stranger, such a game - she is really addicted to playing it.

In fact, Li Haoran felt that he wanted to play a dandy, or playboy type.

As soon as she sat down, Bai Xiuzhu was called out, saying that Mrs. Bai had something to look for her. Before she came back, Jin Yanxi sent Meili to the orange over there, but she crossed her legs and looked at Li Haoran: " Huitong shop is not in charge? Not like."

"Then what does Jin Qiye think I look like?" Li Haoran raised his eyebrows, then knocked on the armrest of the sofa, with a calm expression, he turned his eyes and looked at Bai Xiuzhu who was busy over there, Liu Chunjiang also came, Bai Xiuzhu Pointing here from a distance, it seems to be calling Liu Chunjiang to come over.

Jin Yanxi also glanced over there, then waved to Liu Chunjiang, but said to Li Haoran: "No matter how you look at it, you don't look like a good person. The boss of Huitongpu is not a serious person. You treat me as nothing. I know. Under Beijing, you are all the emperors of the earth.”

At this time Liu Chunjiang happened to come over, Li Haoran just shut up and said nothing.

The three of them sat here chatting nonsense, and the banquet started in a short while. The dessert reception, the living room was covered with expensive Persian carpets, and there was a gorgeous chandelier hanging from the ceiling. The lights flickered and the music started. The hall suddenly turned into a dance floor People who want to dance sway to the music, but find something to eat when they are hungry, and sit and chat while they are too lazy to move.

Bai Xiuzhu was finally free. Although Jin Yanxi broke up with her, she was still on good terms with her. Before she came over, she held out her hand, "Xiuzhu, let's dance with me for the first dance."

At that moment, Bai Xiuzhu was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously glanced at Li Haoran, but seeing Li Haoran looking at Jin Yanxi with a half-smile, she somehow thought badly, and replied: "Okay."

Then he put his hand in the palm of Jin Yanxi.

The two slipped into the crowd.

Liu Chunjiang looked at Li Haoran, but suddenly discovered some clues: "Brother is interested in Miss Bai."

Li Haoran turned to look at him: "Is it so obvious?"
