Chapter 48 Chapter 22

Talking about this, Yuerong felt particularly excited mentally, her cheeks were flushed, and the old man said: "I understand now. After a few days, Xinsheng came to Peiping to steal Antique, you messed things up." Yuerong said: "No, the thing is still amazing! It was probably the third day, a man in a car came to visit him, and he introduced me to the office of Supervisor Zhang in Shandong. One of his subordinates was surnamed Zhao. As soon as the two of them met, they talked about a set of gambling scriptures. I guessed that they must have met in the gambling field. At that time, Commander Zhao was sitting on the sofa in the middle, and Xinsheng and I were sitting together. On both sides, he just looked at me with a smile, which made me feel really embarrassed."

The old man pulled the tip of his beard with his hands, turned his head and thought: "Commander Zhao, where is there such a Commander Zhao?" Yuerong said: "That man is a short and fat man with a round black face, ephedra eyes, and lips. He has two mustaches on him. He is wearing a very good thin woolen suit upside down." The old man nodded and said, "I understand when you say that. Yes, there is such a Commander Zhao. He is in He works in Shandong, but he often travels to two places in Tianjin and Beiping. What's the matter with him coming to find Xinsheng?" Yuerong said, "I didn't know at the time, but after Xinsheng let out his tongue, I realized what that kid was doing. Intention. Xinsheng didn't go out that night. After dinner, he leaned on the sofa in the living room with a cigarette in his mouth. He asked me to sit on the side and chat with him. I asked him: "You have a solution now." Don't worry?' He said: 'I'm going to Shandong to find a little governor.' I said: 'Really? Then I'm really a wife.' He said: 'As the county What's the point of being the governor's wife? It's interesting to be the wife of the supervisor.' I said: 'You can climb up slowly, maybe one day. But when that day comes, you won't recognize me anymore.' He said "Silly boy, if you want to be the supervisor's wife, you will have a chance right away, so why wait for me?" Old shopkeeper, don't look at my young age, I have learned a lot in Gu'er Ci. Immediately asked him what this meant? He saw me sitting up, with a straight face, and stared at him, perhaps a little timidly, and said with a smile: "I did a fortune-telling for you, there must be such a chance." I He sat on a sofa with him, shook his body and said, "You say it, you say it, what's going on?" Commander Zhao thought you were my sister, so he said to me, if I can send you to Governor Zhang to be a wife, my county magistrate, I will definitely get it.' I didn't wait for him to say anything. He stood up and said: "Song Xinsheng, you are a college student, and you have hundreds of thousands of property. You are a poor boy. You have spent so much time to get me. It doesn't matter if I am your family. It doesn’t matter if it’s your lover, or even if I’m a dewy couple for a while, you can’t sell me! These are the same people as robbers and thieves, working for that trafficker! Do you want to talk? I'm singing a good show. You brought me to Tianjin, and you haven't been happy for half a month. With a chivalrous heart, you rescued me from the kang. You are a man of status. You have raped me and kidnapped me, and you are going to sell me!' I was in a hurry and yelled everything, not caring much. .He threw the cigarette, turned over and sat up, reached out and held my mouth, smiled at me and said: "I'm just kidding you, why are you serious. I'm just joking." "In she said When it was so impressive, the old man's face became tense, he stared at Yue Rong, pressed his knees with both hands, straightened his waist, and made an effort to wait for her After finishing speaking in one breath, he said to her: "AlsoMaybe he's joking?" Yue Rong tilted her head, snorted and said, "Just kidding? Not at all! It turns out that he was playing money with that Commander Zhao and owed him more than a thousand yuan.He didn't have money to give someone, so he promised to give someone an antique.Moreover, he told the surname Zhao that there are many good antiques in the house, and if he can find a job under Governor Zhang, he would like to send Governor Zhang some of the best ones.The person surnamed Zhao said that the commander-in-chief doesn't like antiques, but likes women, and it's easiest to find a job if he has a good-looking woman for him.Xinsheng thought, I'm an opera singer, I spend money and bring it for fun, and it has nothing to do with him.At that time, he couldn’t support me, so he sent me to Supervisor Zhang. He was tired and could borrow me for an errand, why didn’t he do it?”

The old man smiled and said: "Maybe..." Yuerong said: "I didn't guess it randomly. The next day, Xinsheng was not at home, and the surname Zhao sent a woman in her thirties to come secretly Tell me, tell me to pay attention to things. There are twenty-three wives in the supervisor. After marrying him, they will play for ten days and eight days if they are happy. If they are not happy, they will stop after two or three days. , nothing is free, like being in prison. The woman told him her home phone number, saying that she called Commander Zhao in an emergency, and he would definitely come to rescue me." The old man said: "This is wrong, call Xinsheng He is the one who gave you the gift, and the one who told you not to be fooled?" Yue Rong said: "Yes, I think so too. But what he said is the truth, I have people to strengthen my courage, the less I am afraid I said to Xinsheng: "Since you want to marry me, you can't hide like this. You have to lead me back to see my parents-in-law; otherwise, you go back to Peiping with me. I have other plans. If both If it can’t be done, I’m going to report to the police station.’ I force him all day long. I don’t dare to go out, because I’m afraid that I’ll meet those money-players and they’ll ask him for a gambling account; besides He rented that foreign house including furniture for 350 yuan a month, and the rent came in no time; the servants at home had to be paid, and he said they would go home and steal antiques. I don't worry about it, I'm afraid he won't look back once he goes. He's thinking about it, but he can't do anything. When it comes to Peiping, he goes to the cabinet here to make up his mind. His family broke up, so we came back to Peiping. We ran out of money, and we still had a few clothes and jewelry, which were sold in front of us, so we settled in such a poor family. He was afraid that people would leak the news, so he lived in this small courtyard. I also hired such an old woman who can't do anything to accompany me. In the first few days, wherever he went, I followed him, and then he told me, this is not the way, I always follow him, he I can’t get money. And he also said that he will change his ways in the future, and he can’t do without me, so he just rented a small courtyard to live in. Forty or fifty yuan a month is enough. He still reads his books, I took good care of the house for him and told me not to be half-hearted. In the meantime, I had no choice but to obey him. On the first day, he went out for a long time, but he came back. I didn't think of any way. The next day he Speaking of the cabinet, let me wait in the small alley across the street. He said he stole the antique from the cabinet and handed it to me first. Fortunately, this is only one time, two people hold it, and you can steal a few more. The shopkeeper, Although I come from a poor family background, I don't want to do such a thing. But if I don't, I won't be able to live any longer. I'm confused, so I let him go."
