Chapter 315 The drunkard doesn’t care about drinking
Li Xiaoxiao gave Si Chengxu, who was sitting opposite her, a look: "I don't want to stay here."
Si Chengxu returned her look in the same tacit understanding: "You have to stay even if you don't want to. Just bear with it and it will pass."
Li Xiaoxiao's face was full of black lines, and he wailed in pain in his heart.
Wasn't it true that in ancient times, men and women were strictly separated? Why did the prime minister's son look at me like that just now?
That is, in the Prime Minister's Mansion. If it was somewhere else, Li Xiaoxiao would definitely let him know why the flowers were so red.
A higher-ranking official can crush a person to death. It seems that this is not only true in modern times, but also in ancient times.
Zhou Lingfei already knew that Gu Feiyan was also here. The moment she saw him, her eyes almost blushed and she eagerly pulled Li Xiaoxiao's hand.
"Look at my makeup now. Is there anything wrong?"
"No, it's very good, super good. I am just a woman. If I were a man, I would climb over your wall and peek at you every day." Li Xiaoxiao answered seriously.
"You just like to make fun of me. I won't talk to you anymore." Zhou Lingfei's face turned slightly red and she turned away in annoyance.
Li Ruolan sat quietly. She just glanced at the young masters opposite her and lowered her head silently.
As the saying goes, men and women working together do not make work tiring. The scene soon became lively. Cheng Kun took the lead in guessing riddles. If you guessed correctly, you would get a prize. If you guessed wrong, you would be punished by performing a talent.
Some answered correctly, some answered incorrectly, and some answered incorrectly on purpose. The meaning was self-evident: they just wanted to save face in front of Si Chengxu and Gu Feiyan.
How many women can resist a handsome man, let alone a powerful and influential handsome man? It can be said that the two of them are the sons-in-law desired by all mothers-in-law in Beijing.
They all hope that their daughters can catch the eyes of both of them, so that they can show off when they go out in the future.
It’s a pity that the idea is beautiful but the reality is cruel. Si Chengxu and Gu Feiyan didn’t even look at it.
Zhou Lingfei also wanted to go on stage to perform her talent, but she was afraid. What if her performance was not good and Gu Feiyan didn't like it?
"My little beauty, your brother Gu is watching you right across the street. Why don't you go up and perform your talent so that your brother Gu will fall at your feet." Li Xiaoxiao looked at Zhou Lingfei's conflicted expression and felt anxious for her.
Once this woman falls in love, she seems to become a different person. For example, Zhou Lingfei, such a generous person, becomes timid and fearful when she meets Gu Feiyan.
"Keep your voice down, in case he hears you." Zhou Lingfei hurriedly grabbed Li Xiaoxiao's arm to stop her from speaking.
"What are you afraid of? If you are so timid, Gu Feiyan will never know how talented you are. Go ahead, warrior, show your most beautiful side. I'll make him fall in love with you."
In fact, Li Xiaoxiao is still very optimistic about the two of them. Gu Feiyan has a calm personality, while Zhou Lingfei is lively and active. The two of them complement each other perfectly.
As the saying goes, those who are involved in the matter are often confused, while those who are not involved can see things clearly. It seems that Gu Feiyan did not pay attention to Zhou Lingfei and did not find any good points in her, but this kind of thing cannot be rushed.
"I'm afraid he doesn't like it." Zhou Lingfei said cautiously, and at the same time secretly glanced at Gu Feiyan. She had been sitting here for a while, but Gu Feiyan didn't even give her a glance.
"You don't even try, so how do you know he doesn't like you? You have good looks and a good family background. I believe you are the best and you are no worse than anyone else." Li Xiaoxiao discovered that Zhou Lingfei cared too much about Gu Feiyan and needed to brainwash her properly.
"Am I really as good as you say?"
"Of course, whether a person is good or bad is not determined by himself, but by others." Li Xiaoxiao's eyes were sincere and his attitude was honest, which made Zhou Lingfei eager to try.
"Go, I believe in you."
Finally, after Li Xiaoxiao's repeated encouragement, Zhou Lingfei made up her mind.
Guessing riddles is just a cover, the main purpose is to give those who want to show their talents a legitimate excuse.
It was a very simple riddle, but Zhou Lingfei guessed it wrong. Everyone clapped their hands knowingly, looking forward to her performance.
Li Xiaoxiao gave her a thumbs up.
Zhou Lingfei then walked out bravely. Whenever she thought of Gu Feiyan watching her there, her heart started beating like a deer, and she was afraid that she might not perform well.
She has attended countless banquets, big and small, but this is the first time she has performed her talent in public.
She knew all the talents that girls in the boudoir could learn, and she was quite good at them. After much thought, she finally chose to play the piano.
Playing the piano requires a lot of skill. She started playing the piano at the age of five, and it has been more than ten years now, so she is very confident that she can play it well.
The most important point is that she heard that Gu Feiyan also loves the zither, so her real intention is not to play the zither.
The servant brought the piano and the table, and coincidentally placed them right in front of Gu Feiyan.
Zhou Lingfei's heart skipped a beat. She couldn't show her shyness in front of so many people, so she sat down on the stool confidently and used her slender fingers to gently adjust the tone.
Then a beautiful and melodious music slowly flowed out from her hands, sometimes cheerful, sometimes dull, making the mood of the people around her rise and fall.
Because right in front of Gu Feiyan, he could see Zhou Lingfei's profile as soon as he raised his head, and he couldn't ignore it even if he wanted to.
From his angle, he found that Zhou Lingfei, whom he usually didn't pay much attention to, was actually very beautiful. He was also quite knowledgeable about the piano. He closed his eyes and listened carefully. He found that he had solid basic skills and played well.
The song was quickly finished and was greeted with warm applause. Zhou Lingfei shyly glanced at Gu Feiyan and found that Gu Feiyan was also looking at her. She quickly turned her face away with a slightly red face, and returned to her seat feeling her palms were sweating.
"You're great, you're a hidden talent!" As soon as Li Xiaoxiao returned to his seat, he couldn't help but praise.
"Gu Feiyan was looking at me just now." Zhou Lingfei said excitedly.
"See what I said was right, right? In the future, you must hang around him more often. Opportunities are created by yourself. If someone else gets there first, your Brother Gu will be gone." Although Li Xiaoxiao has no experience in love, she has seen pigs run even if she has eaten pork. Isn't that what is played out on TV?
"Xiaoxiao, you are so amazing. You know everything." Zhou Lingfei praised sincerely. She thought what Li Xiaoxiao said was right.
Li Xiaoxiao wanted to say something else when suddenly a voice rang out.
"I've heard that the little girl is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. I wonder if we can have the honor to see her today?" Suddenly, a man in blue stood up, staring at Li Xiaoxiao with eyes that looked a little unhappy.
Hearing someone mention her name again, Li Xiaoxiao wanted to curse. Didn't she check the almanac before going out today? The more she wanted to keep a low profile, the more people would come to pick a fight with her.
