The man didn't believe it. He didn't understand Qiao Mochen's character. He thought that seeing a woman was no different from seeing a stone on the road.
There must be something fishy as he actually stared at a woman for so long this time. I don’t know who this person is and how he could attract Qiao Mochen’s attention.
Gu Nancheng has also been paying attention to the situation here. Since he was a child, his father has always liked to compare him with Qiao Mochen, saying that he is far inferior to Qiao Mochen.
That's true. No matter in the past or now, I can never compare to him.
For example, when I was in school, my grades were far worse than his.
Even though both of them are in the army now, he got the title of Young Marshal because of his father's title. It just sounds good to say it, but it is actually useless.
But Qiao Mochen was different. At a young age, he relied on his own abilities to become a general in the army, and many soldiers under him were impressed by his abilities.
Compared to someone like me, every time I go to the army, although others are respectful on the surface, they secretly talk about me behind my back, saying that I am obviously a loser and I am only in good shape because I have a good father.
Thinking of this, a feeling of jealousy surged in Gu Nancheng's heart. If he really liked a woman, he would definitely snatch that woman away before Qiao Mochen.
After all, he is quite good at dealing with women, but Qiao Mochen probably doesn't even know what it's like to be with a woman.
"Then let's go to the birthday party now." Gu Nancheng said, and the others naturally responded, so a group of people walked towards the garden.
Because this was Mrs. Gu’s 60th birthday, the celebration was so grand, and Marshal Gu also invited many people from the army to join.
Now everyone is here, and there are dozens of tables, packed tightly together.
Old Mrs. Gu sat in the front row. Although she was sixty years old, she had a very slim figure, which was different from the other old ladies.
Speaking of it, Mrs. Gu was a famous beauty when she was young. Even though she is old now, she is still very particular about her food, clothing and daily life.
Fu Yunxi finally understood why Mrs. Gu prepared clothes as a birthday gift.
After Gu Nancheng came over, he remembered that he had asked someone to bring Liu Xuening to sit at the banquet. Seeing the beautiful woman at this moment, something flashed through his mind quickly.
Qiao Mochen had met these noble ladies in his early years, but he had never seen him fall in love with any of them!
Today he was the only one who invited Liu Xuening, and Liu Xuening was so beautiful, so he must be looking at her.
Therefore, Gu Nancheng planned to wait and observe Qiao Mochen's reaction.
In order to make the birthday party more lively, Mrs. Gu also invited people to perform opera. After all, there are many women who like to listen to opera.
Now there is a special stage in the garden where they are, which is specially prepared for them to watch plays.
The guests' tables were scattered around the stage, like a circle.
After the opera, Gu Nancheng went to find Liu Xuening and asked her to go on stage and play the guqin later.
Liu Xuening had been waiting for this moment for a long time, so she naturally agreed.
At this time, a servant had already placed the table and piano on the stage, and Liu Xuening then went on stage.
She sat down calmly and began to pluck the strings of the piano. The sound was melodious and all the men present were staring at her. Although the woman did not say anything, her eyes said it all.
Gu Nancheng was sitting next to Old Lady Gu at the moment, and was also observing the expression of Qiao Mochen opposite him. He saw that the man's eyes were looking at the stage, and there was no one else on the stage except Liu Xuening.
In fact, Qiao Mochen's gaze passed Liu Xuening and fell on Fu Yunxi. Fu Yunxi was next to Mrs. Gu at this time, just opposite Qiao Mochen.
"You play well." Old Mrs. Gu praised first. After all, this was a birthday gift prepared for her by her grandson, so she would definitely give him face.
As for whether her grandson likes this girl, Mrs. Gu doesn't care.
She is just a beautiful woman. Given Gu Nancheng's family background, he will never marry her.
So no matter how many there are, she is just a concubine, and the old lady doesn't care about such a small person at all.
After all, her son has many concubines, so it’s okay for her grandson to want a beautiful woman.
But Mrs. Gu was completely different. Her husband had many concubines, and she felt extremely disgusted.
Now her own son wants to marry a girl from this brothel as his concubine. Isn't that like stabbing a knife in her heart?
She also felt that her son had always been outstanding. He was already a young marshal at such a young age. No one could be worthy of him!
So he looked at Liu Xuening with disgust, and he didn't know what else this woman who only knew how to pretend to be weak could do besides playing the piano like plucking cotton!
She would rather her son find a businessman's daughter like Fu Yunxi.
Fu Yunxi, who was sitting next to her, saw that Mrs. Gu was staring at her and could only smile euphemistically as a response.
But I was extremely bored and wished the party would be over quickly.
But this banquet lasts for a whole day, how could it be so fast? After listening to the music played by Liu Xuening, it was time to give the birthday gifts.
The birthday gifts everyone gave were very expensive, but the clothes given by Mrs. Gu seemed particularly unique.
"Mom, this is a birthday gift I specially customized for you." Mrs. Gu handed the packaged cheongsam to Old Mrs. Gu.
She had already asked Fu Yunxi, and there was only one cheongsam of this style in the whole of Kyoto.
Old Mrs. Gu found the packaging bag very beautiful. When she opened it, she could smell a faint fragrance, which seemed to be imperceptible, but made her even more intoxicated.
"Not bad, I like it." Old Mrs. Gu was obviously very particular about clothes. When she saw the flowers outlined with gold thread, she immediately felt that they were lifelike. The hidden button design was also very unique.
The other ladies became curious when they heard Mrs. Gu praising them so highly.
Mrs. Gu introduced Fu Yunxi's store to them and told them to tell Fu Yunxi directly if they had any needs.
Therefore, Fu Yunxi felt a little breathless when surrounded by a group of rich ladies, but for the sake of his future business, these were nothing.
Wuxin suddenly felt that his host had grown a lot, and was now working so hard to earn money.
Fu Yunxi's mouth twitched. It is said that people bow down for a few pieces of silver. For her to be able to make her own decisions in the future, this little bit of suffering was nothing!
In fact, Mrs. Gu didn't completely want to help Fu Yunxi.
If the dress is well made, then Fu Yunxi's arrival will add icing on the cake. If it is not well made, there will be someone to take the blame.
After all, she spent those banknotes to buy a birthday gift for Old Mrs. Gu, so the thought was naturally there.
If there is a problem with the clothes, it would prove that Fu Yunxi is a liar and he can be arrested and reported to the police.
Fortunately, Old Lady Gu liked this dress very much, so Mrs. Gu did her a favor and also established good relationships with other noble ladies.
