Facing the eyes of the crowd, the slender figure holding an ancient flute, accompanied by the lingering flute sound, walked slowly towards this side.
Everyone's eyes followed her steps little by little.
Getting closer and closer.
Her facial features were also gradually revealed under the crystal light. Mu Qingli walked among the crowd, and there was no trace of panic on her elegant face, as if she was the host of this banquet.
Her long hair was tied together by an emerald green hairpin, leaving only a few strands of hair hanging between her temples. The interweaving of black and white was particularly eye-catching.
The smoky cheongsam outlined a perfect figure. The embroidered peony pattern looked more three-dimensional against the background of her exquisite figure. The red stamens and green branches and leaves seemed to come alive.
Although Mu Qingli was slender, she had a lot of flesh where she should be. She had a typical lotus face and a willow waist, and she was enchanting.
Peony is an extremely gorgeous flower. If you are not careful, it will look vulgar when paired with bright red and green.
But when worn by Mu Qingli, it not only does not look vulgar, but instead highlights a kind of ancient beauty, elegant and unparalleled.
Everyone's eyes are focused on Mu Qingli, especially the male guests present, almost staring at her, wanting to know which family's daughter this is.
Such a beauty.
At this moment, who still remembers the protagonist of this banquet-
Mu Luzhu?
Looking at Mu Qingli walking towards her, Mu Luzhu's breathing stagnated. She never thought that the person playing the flute was Mu Qingli. What does
she want to do? To steal the show?
Although Mu Luzhu was very angry, she did not stop playing the piano. She was still elegant and generous, trying to cover the sound of the ancient flute with the piano tune, but the melodious but domineering sound of the ancient flute did not give her any chance.
The combination of Western music and classical Eastern music did not feel inconsistent at all, but brought everyone an auditory and visual feast.
The sound of the ancient flute.
In this combination of Chinese and Western culture, it is obvious that the winner belongs to China!
The beauty of the cheongsam is simply irresistible.
It can bewitch the soul.
Mu Qingli walked to Mu Luzhu and stopped. After playing the last tune, she put away the flute and said with a smile:
"Happy birthday to the fourth sister. As a younger sister, I have racked my brains but can't think of a better birthday gift. I can only borrow flowers to offer Buddha to play a song with the fourth sister to celebrate her birthday. I hope that the fourth sister will not despise it."
"How could it be?" Mu Luzhu smiled and stood up, gently holding Mu Qingli's hand, "The fifth sister can have such a heart, and I, as a sister, can't wait to be happy, how can I despise it?"
As soon as these words came out, the guests around all showed a blank look.
When did the Mu family have such a beautiful fifth lady? Could it be
...
the one who just came back from the countryside?
But.
How can a person who just came back from the countryside have such temperament and talent?
Just as everyone was puzzled, Mu Luzhu took Mu Qingli's hand, walked to the middle of the dance floor, and introduced to everyone:
"Hello, everyone. Thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to attend my birthday party. I would like to take this opportunity to introduce someone to everyone. She is my fifth sister, Mu Qingli."
"My fifth sister has just returned from Huashan. She is unfamiliar with the imperial capital. I hope everyone will take care of her in the future. Thank you." When she said the last sentence, Mu Luzhu bowed deeply, acting like a good sister, and also left a gentle and generous image in everyone's heart.
After she finished speaking, there was a burst of fierce applause around.
Everyone's eyes fell on the middle of the dance floor. No one thought that this person was actually the fifth lady who grew up in the countryside...
When they learned of this conclusion, there was a different look in everyone's eyes when they looked at Mu Qingli.
Mu Luzhu took Mu Qingli's hand, with a gentle smile on her face, and brought Mu Qingli to Mrs. Fu, and took the initiative to introduce: "Aunt Fu, this is my fifth sister Mu Qingli. Fifth sister, this is Aunt Fu."
Mu Qingli greeted sweetly, "Hello, Aunt Fu."
Mrs. Fu has always had no resistance to beautiful and sensible girls. She said kindly, "Hello, little girl."
Mu Luzhu continued, "Aunt Fu, you can just call her Qingli."
Mrs. Fu nodded and continued, "Qingli, can I ask who taught you the song you just played?" Mrs. Fu was really curious. How did a child who grew up in the countryside learn to play the flute, and the tune was so familiar.
Not only Mrs. Fu was curious, but others were also curious.
Mu Qingli shook her head, "No one taught me. This song is very common in our place. Any child who herds cattle can play it."
After this, Mrs. Fu's smile became even stronger.
He is an honest and good child.
If it were someone else with vanity, they would definitely conceal this. Mrs. Fu smiled and said, "Oh? Have you ever released cattle?"
Mu Qingli nodded and said without disguising, "Of course! Not only have I released cattle, I have also released sheep..."
The eyes of the people around him became more and more disdainful. After all, he was from the countryside and had no sense at all. He actually talked about this with Mrs. Fu.
Mrs. Fu was excited when she heard it, "Oh, do you still have sheep there?"
Mu Qingli nodded, "Well, our Huashan is rich in products, not only cattle and sheep, but also many other small animals."
Mrs. Fu was surprised and said, "Huashan? What a coincidence! I also stayed in Huashan for a while when I was young, it's really nice there..."
Because they had stayed in the same place, the two had a lot of common topics.
Mu Qingli has always been liked by the old man.
The old and the young chatted happily.
Others around were a little surprised. No one thought that the glorious Mrs. Fu had actually stayed in such a poor place as Huashan.
This Miss Mu Wu is really a fool with good luck.
Mu Luzhu stood aside, looking a little like an outsider, her face a little pale.
Originally, I introduced Mu Qingli to Mrs. Fu just to make a good impression in front of her, but I didn't expect...
Mu Qingli is really good! Seemingly innocent, but actually scheming, seeing Mrs. Fu, he tried to please her wholeheartedly and tried to climb up to the Fu family!
Mu Huangqiong and Mu Chengyao both looked at Mu Qingli with burning eyes, the jealousy in their eyes was about to overflow, and they wished that the person standing next to Mrs. Fu was them. The people who
came tonight were all the famous and powerful people in the imperial capital. If the people standing on the stage just now were them, then they would definitely be the ones who shined! If the person
standing next to Mrs. Fu at this moment was them, maybe they could also take the opportunity to climb up to the Fu family like Mu Luzhu!
Mu Qingli is just a country bumpkin from the countryside, how can she make friends with Mrs. Fu?
It's okay that they can't compare with Mu Luzhu, the talented woman, but now they are actually compared to a country bumpkin!
Mu Lan Ke saw the changes in Mu Chengyao and Mu Huangqiong's expressions. She slowly shook the goblet in her hand, raised a faint smile, turned around and walked to another socialite, and said in surprise:
"Xixi, the bracelet on your hand is so beautiful! When did you buy it?"
