Chapter 12: Outstanding

Mrs. Si's slender and Yunting fingers were tightly tucked into her sleeves, still unable to restrain her anxiety.

Her son is missing.

She sent more than a dozen adjutants to accompany her in Germany, hospitals and schools, all with her people, but her son ran away.

Not only that, she receives telegrams from Germany every fortnight without delay. Her son not only ran away, but also perfunctory her!

She was in a hurry!

"Mom, why don't you go out? It's time for you to give a toast." A voice like the sound of nature came in from the door.

The girl in a lavender bare-shoulder long skirt with a winding hem walked into the room slowly.

Her name is Si Qiongzhi, she is the third young lady of the Governor's House, Mrs. Si's biological daughter, fifteen years old this year, slender and slender, with a sinister appearance.

Si Qiongzhi has big, bright eyes with sparkling light; his small face is exactly the same as Mrs. Si; his full forehead, upturned nose, and tender lips are all carefully carved and breathtakingly beautiful.

Such a beautiful woman with a distinguished status. Although Si Qiongzhi was young, she was the first lady in Yuecheng, and everyone had to submit to her.

She knew that her brother's fiancée was coming today, but she also understood that that country woman could not really marry into the governor's house. Her mother accepted her and admitted her, she must have other plans, so Si Qiongzhi did not come forward. greet.

"Here we come." Facing her beloved daughter, Mrs. Si put on a kind and gentle face, took her beloved daughter's hand, and said, "Go, the waltz is about to begin tonight."

There is a waltz at the ball, for the most important person.

Today is for Gu Qingzhou.

After Gu Qingzhou finished jumping, Mrs. Si gave another toast.

She called the commander who had a short rest, and the three stood at the milky white railings of the corridor on the second floor, overlooking the entire large ballroom.

There were several people sitting on the Baroque chair in the southwest corner, and one of them was a girl in a pink dress, Gu Qingzhou.

"That's her." Mrs. Si pointed to the commander-in-chief.

The commander-in-chief had a bird's-eye view of the ballroom on the first floor, but he couldn't see Gu Qingzhou's face.

"Not bad," said the commander-in-chief. "She seems to be honest and well-behaved."

A sneer flashed in Mrs. Si's heart: After a while, you won't think she is "not bad" anymore.

Mrs. Si wants to give up the marriage for her son, but there are two problems at present: first, the commander-in-chief is very trustworthy and insists on fulfilling the old promise and refuses to retire; second, Gu Qingzhou holds the handle of Mrs. Si in his hand, She also refused to go back.

As for Gu Qingzhou's handle, Mrs. Si wants to take care of it slowly, and she can't be too hasty and anger Gu Qingzhou; and one of the problems that Mrs. Si can solve is the approval of the military governor for this marriage.

If Gu Qingzhou loses all face, then the governor can no longer accept this marriage. With the dissatisfaction of the governor, it is just around the corner to retire.

Mrs. Si tried her best to do this.

She wants to make Gu Qingzhou humiliated in front of everyone and make the commander's first impression of her not good.

"Abba, here is the waltz, specially prepared for sister-in-law." Si Qiongzhi said beside him. She didn't recognize Gu Qingzhou, but obeyed her father's wishes and called out "sister-in-law", and she felt a chill in her heart.

The commander-in-chief was satisfied.

The dance music dedicated to Gu Qingzhou is enough to make Gu Qingzhou the focus of everyone. With his wife's arrangement, the commander-in-chief feels that she is very generous.

"She was raised in the country, I'm afraid she can't dance well." The commander-in-chief said with a smile.

She actually kind of protects her!

Ripples flashed across Si Qiongzhi's eyes.

At this time, the young man in a black tuxedo, accompanied by Mrs. Si's adjutant, walked to Gu Qingzhou and invited him to dance the first dance of the day.

"It's about to start." Mrs. Si looked at the dance floor indifferently, and when she saw Gu Qingzhou stood up, her footsteps almost slipped, and she sneered slightly.

Country people, if you are afraid that you can't stand still in high heels, you still want to dance?

The commander-in-chief and Si Qiongzhi also watched.

The music sounded, the tone was lingering and lingering, the crystal lamps in the hall gradually dimmed, and there was only one light left, which gathered on Gu Qingzhou.

The others understood and knew the rules of the dance party, and they all withdrew from the dance floor.

Then, the soothing tune turned into a rushing and beautiful movement, and the young boy who danced with Gu Qingzhou, danced faster and faster.

Gu Qingzhou was unprepared and almost fell.

"Heh." Mrs. Si sneered, and sure enough, Gu Qingzhou was about to make a fool of himself soon.

Now, there are only Gu Qingzhou's couple on the dance floor. Everyone is watching. They all know that Gu Qingzhou is the important person at the banquet tonight, but they don't know who it is, so they can't take their eyes off her.

With these curiosity, everyone is watching Gu Qingzhou.

"She will lose face very soon and become a joke for the whole Yuecheng. The Overseer loves face the most, and his future daughter-in-law has become a joke. He probably won't give Gu Qingzhou another look." Mrs. Si thought to herself.

Everything was according to Mrs. Si's plan, and Mrs. Si felt a little more at ease.

Si Qiongzhi looked at the center of the dance floor, Gu Qingzhou took a wrong step, and she said to her father, "Abba, you can see that she dances pretty well..."

The commander-in-chief frowned.

He doesn't have a unique taste for dance steps, but Gu Qingzhou almost fell, but he still saw it.

The commander-in-chief thought: "Since we know the banquet tonight, can't we learn a few dance steps? It can be learned in one afternoon. It seems that this child is not working hard enough."

There was a bit of displeasure in my heart for a moment.

When Mrs. Si saw it, she was even more satisfied. Gu Qingzhou took a wrong step, and the Overseer frowned; when she fell and made a fool of herself, it was estimated that the Overseer didn't want to see her tonight.

Mrs. Si breathed a sigh of relief.

When she returned to her senses, she saw that Gu Qingzhou in the center of the dance floor had already adjusted her dance steps, and she did not continue to make mistakes while the dancers gradually accelerated the rhythm.

The rhythm of the music became more and more urgent.

The dancer's footsteps are also faster.

But Gu Qingzhou followed him, and there was nothing wrong with half a step, like flowing clouds and flowing water, closely accompanying the dancer, her pink long skirt flew on the dance floor like a pink butterfly.

Mrs. Si was stunned and shocked: "How is this possible!"

How could a country girl dance the waltz so beautifully?

Such a fast waltz, even Si Qiongzhi, who has been learning dance for several years, can't keep up, but Gu Qingzhou didn't procrastinate.

The movement is even more rapid, like raindrops slamming on the glazed tiles, beautiful and urgent.

The dancer's footsteps were faster, and Gu Qingzhou followed step by step. The long crow blue hair she held with the hosta spread out during the dance, pouring out like a waterfall, spreading out.

The dark-haired woman in splendid clothes stepped on the graceful and hurried dance points on the brightly lit dance floor, and danced with her dance partner, just like a rose blooming under the moonlight.

The splendor of the clothes, the luster of the hair, and the dance of Gu Qingzhou's whole person have a soul-sucking light that attracts everyone's eyes.

Everyone was insane, including the commander-in-chief.

When the movement stopped, everything was silent.

"Okay!" The commander-in-chief was the first to return to his senses, applauding and rejoicing, and he couldn't help but feel satisfied.

This girl dances beautifully, to the extreme, she will steal everyone's limelight tonight, and there is a light on the commander's face.

The applause came together, and everyone followed, and the entire ballroom was full of deafening applause, whether it was men or women.

"It's really good, Mu'er is lucky!" The commander-in-chief laughed.

When he turned around, he saw her wife and her daughter, still looking at the dance floor in shock, and still couldn't believe it.

"It's impossible!" Mrs. Si was shocked.

She was so well prepared, how come Gu Qingzhou didn't make a fool of himself, but he was still brilliant?
