Mrs. Si's long fingers, tightly folded in her sleeves, still couldn't restrain her anxiety.

Her son is missing.

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

Not only that, she can receive telegrams from Germany every half month without delay. Her son not only ran away, but also perfunctorized her!

Her heart is burning!

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

The girl in the lavender dress with bare shoulders and long skirts walked slowly into the house.

Her name is Si qiongzhi. She is the third daughter of the governor's office. She is 15 years old. She is slim and has a strange face.

Siqiongzhi has two big and bright eyes, with shining eyes; his small face is the same as that of Madame Si; his full forehead, cocked nose and tender lips are all exquisitely carved and breathtaking.

Such a beautiful woman, with noble status, although siqiongzhi is young, she is the first lady in Yuecheng. Anyone should submit to her.

She knew that today her brother's fiancee was coming, but she also knew that the country woman could not really marry into the governor's office. Her mother accepted her and admitted her, which must be something else. So she did not come forward to say hello.

"Here we are." In the face of her beloved daughter, Mrs. Si put on a kind and gentle face, took her hand and said, "let's go. Tonight's the waltz."

There is a waltz at the ball, which is specially played for the most important people. The latest

is for Gu today.

After Gu's boat jump, Mrs. Si gives a toast.

She called the superintendent for a short rest, and three people stood at the milky white railing of the corridor on the second floor, overlooking the whole ballroom.

On the Baroque chair in the southwest corner, there are several people sitting. One of the girls is wearing a pink dress, that is, taking care of the light boat.

"That's her." Mrs. Si shows it to the inspector.

In the first floor of the ballroom, the inspector can't see the face of the light boat clearly. She can only be seen with slim body, thick green silk and elegant sitting posture.

"Not bad." The inspector said, "she looks honest and upright."

There was a sneer in Mrs. Si's heart: in a moment, you won't think she is "pretty good".

Mrs. Si wants to withdraw the marriage for her son. At present, there are two problems: first, the governor attaches great importance to credit and refuses to withdraw because he has to fulfill his old promise; second, Gu Qingzhou holds the handle of Mrs. Si, and she refuses to withdraw.

As for the handle of taking care of the light boat, the Secretary's wife should take care of it slowly. She can't be too hasty or angry. One of the problems that the Secretary's wife can solve is the governor's approval of the marriage.

If Gu Qingzhou loses his face, then the governor can no longer accept the marriage. With the governor's dissatisfaction, it's time to leave.

Mrs. Si has tried her best to do this.

She wants to make Gu Qingzhou lose face in front of all the people and make the chief inspector's first impression on her not good.

"Abba, here is waltz, specially for my sister-in-law." Siqiongzhi is on the side. She didn't admit to taking care of the boat, but she obeyed her father's wishes and shouted "sister-in-law". After shouting, she felt cold in her heart.

The superintendent was satisfied.

The dance music specially for Gu Qingzhou is enough to make Gu become the focus of the public. His wife arranged this way, and the supervisor thought that she was generous.

"She's raised in the country, just afraid she can't dance well." The governor smiled.

How can I defend her!

Siqiongzhi's eyes and eyebrows had some ripples.

At this time, the young man in the black tuxedo, accompanied by the aide of the Secretary's wife, went to Gu Qingzhou and invited him to dance today's first dance.

"It's about to start." Mrs. Si looked at the dance floor indifferently. When she saw Gu Qingzhou standing up, she almost slipped down and smiled.

A countryman, afraid to stand unsteady in high heels, still wants to dance?

The inspector general and siqiongzhi also watched.

The music sounded, and the tune was lingering. The crystal lights in the hall gradually dimmed. There was only a bunch of lights left, which were gathered on Gu Qingzhou.

Everyone else knew the rules of the dance and quit the dance floor.

After that, the soothing music became a fast and beautiful movement, and the young man who took care of the light boat dance became faster and faster.

Gu Qingzhou was unprepared and almost fell down.

"Oh." Mrs. Si sneers, as expected, she will make a fool of herself soon.

Now, the whole dance floor only has the couple who are looking at the boat. Everyone is watching. They all know that tonight's boat is the important person of the party, but they don't know who it is. So they keep their eyes on her.

With these curiosities, everyone is watching the light boat.

"She will soon lose face and become a joke of Yuecheng. The governor loves face most. His future daughter-in-law has become a joke. He doesn't think he will look after the light boat any more. " Mrs. Si thought.

Everything was in accordance with Mrs. Si's plan, and she was a little relieved.

Looking at the middle of the dance floor, Gu Qingzhou made a mistake, and she said to her father, "Abba, you can see that she dances well..."

the governor frowned.

He didn't have any unique appreciation for dance steps, but Gu almost fell down and saw it.

The inspector thought to himself, "since you know the banquet tonight, can't you learn some dance steps? I can learn it in an afternoon. It seems that the child is not working hard enough. "

There was a moment of unhappiness in my heart.

Mrs. Si was more satisfied when she saw it. When Gu Qingzhou made a mistake, the governor frowned; later she fell down and made a fool of herself. It is estimated that the governor would not like to see her tonight.

Mrs. Si was relieved again.

When she returned to her mind, she saw Gu Qingzhou in the middle of the dance floor, who had adjusted her dance steps. In the gradually accelerated rhythm of the dancers, she did not make any further mistakes.

The rhythm of the music is more and more urgent.

The dancers are also moving faster.

But Gu Qingzhou followed him, and even half of her steps were right. She was like a flowing cloud, closely following the dancers. Her long pink dress flew on the dance floor like a butterfly.

Mrs. Si was stunned and shocked: "how could it be?"

How could a country girl waltz dance so beautifully?

Such a fast waltz is the one who has been learning dance for several years. I'm afraid that I can't keep up with it, but Gu's boat doesn't drag half.

The movement is more rapid, like the sound of rain on the glazed tiles, beautiful and eager.

The dancer's pace is faster, and Gu Qingzhou keeps up with her. The long green hair of the crow held by the jade hairpin spreads out like a waterfall during the dance.

The black haired woman in Chinese dress, on the dance floor with brilliant lights, is stepping on the beautiful and quick dance spot, dancing with her partner, just like a rose blooming under the moon night.

The brilliance of the clothes, the luster of the hair, and the dancing posture of the whole person in the light boat attract everyone's eyes.

Everyone is crazy, including the superintendent.

When the movement stops, everything is still.

"Good!" The chief inspector was the first to come back to his senses, clapping and rejoicing. He was inevitably satisfied with seven or eight points.

The girl dances beautifully. She's so beautiful that everyone's show tonight will be taken away by her, and the governor's face will be bright.

Applause together, everyone clapped, the whole ballroom was full of deafening applause, whether it was men or women.

"It's very nice, my son is blessed!" The governor laughed.

When he looked back, he saw her wife and her daughter. He was still shocked and looked at the dance floor. So far, he couldn't believe it.

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

She was so well prepared, how could she care that the boat did not make a fool of itself and even made a fool of herself?
