Chapter 5 4. Family face

There are various names for people in martial arts in the world. If the other party is a hot-blooded young man who has just fledgling, he can be called a "young hero"; "; if you are lucky enough not to be notorious after spending most of your life, you must call him a "hero". Although I grew up in a deep courtyard, because my family is engaged in a business that requires good karma, I am familiar with all kinds of rules and regulations in the world. Unfortunately, despite this, I still can't find a title that can be used to call Baili Chenfeng. He is not considered young anymore, and I was afraid that I would die of laughter when I called out the word "young hero".

He is not too old, and has always been surreptitious and unpredictable, so he is not worthy of the shining title of "hero". What's more, he doesn't even have a nickname! As a result, I couldn't even say "It turns out that 'So-and-so Swordsman' is here." I had no choice but to say: "It turns out that the number one master of the famous Baili City is here, Gong Feicui is very polite." This passage is very long, and I paused three times in the middle. At the first pause, that annoying prodigal son Xiao Zuo burst into laughter, but I was talking to a guest, so I could only curse him in my heart for smiling so hard. upper cramp.

During the second pause, Baili Chenfeng walked towards me, and finally finished my words when he was in front of me. Compared to mine, his words were much more concise: "Miss Gong." It was a veritable greeting, and he didn't say it was a pleasure to meet. Pooh!Thank you for at least remembering my surname Gong! "My father has always hoped to see the demeanor of the masters of Baili City, but it is a pity that he has been stingy for decades. How lucky is Jade to expect a distinguished guest today. It can be regarded as a fulfillment of my father's long-cherished wish."

After another long speech, I adored my self-cultivation and raised it to a higher level, and felt how difficult it is to be an heir. Especially a big family like the Gong family. If I hadn't taken over it myself, I would have never thought that what my father left me would be such a huge family business. If I could not be so strong, even if I counted money at home all day, I would have to count my money for several lifetimes. Therefore, I really admire Xiao Zuo. His family has monopolized the salt industry in the Central Plains for more than two hundred years, but he was able to wipe out the entire family business within three years. This is really a skill.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but look at him. He was actually looking at me, with a hint of a smile hidden in his glowing eyes, and his expression was interesting, as if... as if he could see that I had to endure Baili Chenfeng for the sake of my family's face. I couldn't help becoming suspicious, and this expression was probably too serious for him, which made him a little unaccustomed. He suddenly picked up the jasper leaf in his hand and shook it at me, then looked at my flaming eyes and laughed. . The scoundrel!He did it on purpose! How dare, how dare he provoke me!And have fun with it!

I was already furious, and I wanted to rush over and kick him out the door without even thinking about flipping up the hem of my skirt, but at this moment, a voice sounded politely. "Miss Gong is too serious." It was the voice of Baili Chenfeng. As soon as I let go of my hand, the heavy skirt fell down with a "squeak". Turning his face, Baili Chenfeng's mouth opened and closed, "From the city lord to the city people in Baili City, they all respect your father. Over the years, every invitation card sent by your mansion has been kept by the city lord." It’s all right, as for the reason for not being able to participate, it’s hard to explain in one word, please also invite Miss Gong Haihan.”

It must have been my ladylike demeanor that frightened him, and he was finally embarrassed to "greeting" with me again. It was very hard for me not to show a hideous expression to him, and said in a soft voice: "In that case, you have been exhausted all the way, please go to the guest room to rest first. After dinner, the exhibition will officially begin." "Brother Xiaozuo and I haven't seen each other for many years, can we arrange our residence together?" Go meet your big head ghost!Don't mention that name to me! I nodded gracefully, and said with a smile on my face: "Of course, Zhong Ruo will arrange it for you."

Then, I just watched Zhong Ruo lead that bastard away chatting and laughing happily with Baili Chenfeng. Few people can make me so angry. This blow was a big blow to me and tortured me all afternoon, so I ate more for dinner. Soon, I regretted it. In order to match the grand occasion of this jewelry exhibition, I have prepared nine sets of clothes, among which the purple and gold Baifeng shirt to be worn at the opening ceremony is the most gorgeous and my favorite. But now, the opening ceremony is about to begin, but because I have eaten too much, I can't put on the purple and gold Baifeng shirt with a very thin waist.

While cursing Xiao Zuo in my heart, I decided to give up the Zijin Baifeng shirt and wear a Yunying purple skirt, and chose a Suoli green Mongolian shirt for the top.This kind of dress is well-tailored, with a shallow collar and narrow sleeves. It is embroidered with birds and branches in dark brocade. It complements the long skirt with dense pleats and emerald green bead knots. After wearing it, I took a selfie in the mirror. Even though I was as picky as I was, I had to admit that although the Zijin Baifeng shirt was unparalleled, I was just as beautiful wearing it like this. Of course, it is not enough to have good clothes, the bun is the key to reflect the perfection of the dress - the yunying purple dress with a strong sense of movement is most suitable for wearing a flying bun.

Divide the hair into several strands, bend each strand into a bun, the lines of each strand must be clear, and the layers must be distinct, and then intersperse ornaments such as flower hoops, hairpins, hairpins, tassels... This is of course very troublesome, so I She never combs her own hair, and never opens her eyes when combing her hair. ——I was afraid that if I saw the process, I would be so scared that I would never want to comb my hair again. Fortunately, I have a skillful maid who combs my hair for me, and every time I take care of my three thousand troubles, it can only be described as "wonderful".

"Meiwu," I stared intently at the elegant and elegant hairstyle in the mirror, and said to the maid, "Your girl's hands are really clever!" Mei Wu pursed her lips and smiled, and said: "Actually, the tassel bun used to match the Zijin Baifeng shirt is really complicated, and it's also very beautiful when combed. It's a pity..." I suddenly lowered my face, and Meiwu hurriedly stopped talking. I bit my lip desperately, for a long while, finally couldn't hold back, slammed the table, and said in a hateful voice: "I blame that bastard!" "Missy said..." "Who else?" I pursed my lips, scolding loudly, crisply, loudly and in one go, "It's Xiao Zuo, the world's number one prodigal son... scoundrel, ruffian, rascal!" Mei Wu was stunned, and after a while, she whispered softly: "Miss, this is the first time I see you have such a big reaction to...a man." Uh?I was startled, really?First time reacting strongly to a man?It seems, it seems to be true... "Bah!" I jumped up suddenly and said loudly, "I tell you Meiwu, I have no reaction to him! I just hate him--I never hated anyone as much as I hated him! You see Is it?" Mei Wu blinked and nodded obediently: "Understood, Miss." At this moment, Feng Xiansu's voice sounded outside the door: "Miss, the opening ceremony is about to begin." "Well, it's here!" I turned around and looked in the mirror again, feeling very satisfied again, and walked out the door. Outside the door, at the beginning of night, the lights have been turned on, and the lanterns hanging on the long veranda look like two red lines in the evening wind. Stand still in front of the exhibition hall of this rare exhibition. Feng Xiansu pushed the door of the exhibition hall, and the ten distinguished guests sitting inside all turned their heads. Seeing that it was me, they stood up one after another, "Miss Gong." "Everyone." I nodded lightly to signal, turned my eyes inadvertently, but looked into the eyes of one person. Those eyes are so dark and bright, like a bottomless ancient well, faint, faint...it's him!That Xiao Zuo who was not pleasing to the eye no matter what. God knows how he can still put on such a leisurely look as he sits among those luxuriously dressed guests like a shabby household! If it were me, I would have been so ashamed that I didn't even dare to lift my head... I snorted lightly, quickly turned my eyes away, and walked into the door with my head held high.
