Chapter 11: Pot

The ballroom of the Overseer's Mansion is splendid, with crystal chandeliers swaying and shining with the music of the piano, and some handsome men and beauties have long slid to the dance floor along with the dance music.

Still no one entertained Gu Qingzhou's mother and daughter.

"Why didn't Mrs. Overseer ignore us? Isn't there a dance for us today?" Gu Zhang couldn't hold back.

Qin Zhengzheng couldn't hold it on his face, and was also irritated by Gu Xiang's question, and said, "Maybe Madam is busy, you can see that there is no time around her."

Gu Zhang's left hand was in unbearable pain, and he drank several sips of wine in a row. Seeing that the lady of the governor was chatting and laughing with others in the distance, she was not busy at all, and Gu Zhang panicked.

The Overseer's wife deliberately left them out. Why?

Only Gu Qingzhou, with quiet eyes, looked at the dance and looked out of the way.

Gu Qingzhou ignored the contempt of others, she calmly observed the surroundings.

The Overseer's wife was busy for a long time, and finally got some free time and glanced here. Gu Qingzhou saw it and smiled at her, but got no response.

The corners of Gu Qingzhou's lips were slightly raised, and he didn't care.

After a while, the Overseer's wife went to the small side hall next to her.

A tall and sturdy man, in his fifties, with a graceful and dignified bearing, sitting on a small sofa smoking a cigarette, his eyes were deep and wise in the smoke.

He is the commander.

"How?" the commander-in-chief asked Mrs. Si who entered the door.

Mrs. Si smiled softly: "Qingzhou has already come. Overseer, you don't have to go to see her in person, you can just have a few words with her at the family dinner afterwards. She is a country girl, and she has never seen the world, so don't be frightened. she!"

The commander-in-chief smiled and put out the cigar: "Am I so scary?"

"It's not that you look scary, it's your identity that is scary. When the boat is so big, when have I seen such a distinguished person as you?" The Overseer's wife smiled, her white and soft hands gently brushing the medal on the Overseer's chest .

The medal is clear and bright, and the figure can be seen, showing the prestige of the commander-in-chief.

The commander-in-chief grabbed her hand and kissed her gently: "You're right, then it won't be too late to see her again after the dance is over."

Mrs. Si smiled and gently kissed her husband's cheek.

Mrs. Si won't let the commander-in-chief see Gu Qingzhou in advance. She also prepared a "big gift" for Gu Qingzhou.

This "gift" will definitely make the commander-in-chief look at Gu Qingzhou with admiration.

There was a smug smile on Mrs. Si's lips, everything was arranged properly.

"Overseer, there is a rule in the new school dance, that the owner of the dance must dance a dance. Today's dance is for the light boat, and she needs to dance with Mu'er, but it's a pity that Mu'er is not at home." Mrs. Si whispered Explain, "According to the rules, you need to find someone to replace Mu'er and lead the dance for the boat."

The commander-in-chief frowned: "You don't want me to lead the dance, do you?"

The commander-in-chief is a rough man, and he hates dancing the most.

Mrs. Si laughed: "How come? I have already arranged it."

The Overseer was very satisfied, showing a faint smile, saying that the lady was thoughtful.

"Has there been a letter from Mu'er recently?" the commander-in-chief asked.

Mu'er-Si Mu, the second young marshal of the Overseer's Mansion, the one who betrothed Gu Qingzhou.

"Yes, I only received a telegram yesterday morning saying that Mu'er's condition is stable." Mrs. Si said.

Speaking of this, Mrs. Si's radiant face was stained with a bit of haze.

"He's been treated for that disease for five years, but it still doesn't work at all." The commander-in-chief was also irritated, "Why don't you come back to China and try Chinese medicine."

"How can that work?" Mrs. Si objected. "Traditional Chinese medicine is all a lie. You didn't read the newspaper that the most fashionable thing recently was watching movies, drinking foreign wine, and scolding Chinese medicine. I don't believe in Chinese medicine."

"Damn, Chinese medicine has been around for thousands of years, and the wisdom of our ancestors has become dross!" The commander-in-chief frowned.

Mrs. Si immediately reassured him: "Overseer, Germany has the world's most advanced medical technology and the most advanced military academy. Mu'er is treating his illness while studying in a military academy. When he returns after graduation, he may be ill, isn't it? Isn't it the best of both worlds?"

The commander-in-chief nodded and said nothing more.

"I'm going to take a break first, you call me back." The head of the commander-in-chief hurt.

The side hall is a suite, and there is a bedroom in it, which is usually used for hospitality.

The commander-in-chief went in to rest, and Madam Si's charming eyes became gloomy.

Her son's illness gave her a headache, and Gu Qingzhou also gave her a headache.

Gu Qingzhou threatened her and forced her to admit that Gu Qingzhou was the fiancée of the second young marshal. Mrs. Si was very upset. She was crushed by Gu Qingzhou and needed to get back a game.

Everything, she has planned, just waiting for Gu Qingzhou to enter the urn.

Mrs. Si got up, passed the corner door, and came to another room.

There were two adjutants in the room, and a man in a tuxedo, slender and tall, saluting Mrs. Si.

"What's your name?" Mrs. Si asked condescendingly.

The man was a little nervous and stammered, "The villain's name is Ye Jiang, and I have seen Mrs."

"Ye Jiang, are you really good at dancing?" Mrs. Si raised her chin slightly, her attitude arrogant. She is such a person of peerless elegance, even if she is arrogant, she is also dazzling and glamorous, not objectionable, but very moving.

"Yes, the villain taught the young ladies to dance at Paramount." Ye Jiang said.

"Do you know what to do?" Mrs. Si asked again.

"The villain knows, the adjutant has explained everything, and the villain remembers every sentence in his heart." Ye Jiang replied, "Madam, rest assured, the villain will never dare to make mistakes."

"Very well, you are very transparent, let's go to the hall." Mrs. Si said coldly.

Ye Jiang said yes and turned around. He is a dancer, walking lightly and wearing a tailored tuxedo, but he does not have the slightest sense of grace and luxury. He always feels that he is very frivolous.

Mrs. Si shook her head. A person's temperament cannot be supported by clothes. It was cultivated since childhood.

Thinking of this, a little impatience flashed in Mrs. Si's heart: Gu Qingzhou's demeanor was very good, more elegant than her sister who had studied in England, without the prudence of a country girl.

Did I see her wrong?

Mrs. Si was pondering when an adjutant hurried in.

The ground was smooth, and the night sky was like a starry night under the light of the lights.

"What's the matter, in such a hurry!" Mrs. Si frowned.

The adjutant handed over a telegram and whispered to Madam Si: "Madam, the young marshal left Germany half a year ago, and I don't know where to go..."

Mrs. Si's face changed suddenly.

"How is this possible?" Madam Si was furious, and she was afraid that the commander-in-chief, who was taking a nap in the side hall, would hear her. She suppressed her voice and anger burst out from between her teeth.

She received a telegram from Germany every fortnight without delay. She sent a lot of people to take care of Sim in Germany, but now she tells her that her son is gone!

Just asshole!

Those adjutants who accompanied the reading should all be shot!

"It's true, ma'am," said the adjutant.

Mrs. Si's face turned purple, and her snow-white teeth were clenched together.

"Check it out for me! If you can't find him, you'll all have to die!" Mrs. Si suppressed her anger, but her voice was like an ice-cold sharp blade, sliding through the silence, with a bloodthirsty clang.

The adjutant said yes, and ran out in a hurry, almost slipping again.
