Chapter 14 November 6

Shunying and his wife have just moved home. Yesterday she invited me to play and have a "light meal". Hey, Shunying has really grown up.She still called the banquet like last night a "light meal"; moreover, her new mansion really has a lot to "play".I finally opened my "eyes". If she hadn’t taken me there, it might have taken me a long time just to find the house number; the new mansion was huddled in an alley, and there were a few dilapidated houses at the entrance of the alley, probably remnants of last year’s bombing, but there were some People live in it.When passing through the alley, Shunying said humbly: "The way in is too bad, it's really ugly!"——but her eyes were shining with pride.I didn't pay much attention at that time, even when I saw the "peeled" mansion itself, I didn't pay much attention. However, as soon as I entered the door, my eyes suddenly lit up; hey, shunying is really big and special !

At the entrance of the living room, I saw Songsheng; he was older than before, and he greeted me with a friendly manner, and he still did not lose his old Japanese color, but his skills had improved a lot, and he seemed to have the demeanor of a dignitary.At that time, I was so busy that I didn't see the coat rack at the door of the living room. I shook hands with Songsheng and walked in, with my "antique" thin woolen coat still hanging on my arm.But Shunying shouted from behind me: "Mother Zhang, hang up your coat for Miss Zhao!" Then I stopped unnaturally, but the position I was standing in was in the door frame, which was even more unnatural.

On the velvet sofa facing outside in the living room, there were already two male guests.One of them with the same face and a tuft of toothbrush whiskers stood up with a laugh, stretched out his hand to me from a distance, and laughed again, with a kind of air—not that big. I know this person. "Let me introduce," Shunying took a step forward and stretched out her hand, "This is from the ×× department..." "Haha, we'll meet," the man said, "Miss Zhao and I are old friends." "San He will have a meeting," I could only perfunctory, smiled, and shook hands with him.

Songsheng introduced me to another male customer, General Manager Zhou.This man was over forty years old, with a round face and thick skin. He could tell from his accent that he was from my hometown. As usual, the words of entertainment resounded in this large living room, and almost every sentence was followed by a laughing tail, but it was very formulaic.I looked coldly at the furnishings in the living room, and noticed that within three minutes, the servants who came in to pour tea had been replaced by two, and one of them was a Jiangxi guy. Electric lights shone brightly on some reflective parts of the furniture.Especially those two brown window curtains, which are woven with silk and flowers, are lightly fluttering, as if there are thousands of rays of light floating over.

Song Sheng was discussing the price of rice with that General Manager Zhou.Sensei He was smoking a cigar, closed his eyes, and nodded from time to time.I looked at the window curtain and asked Shunying, "Did you bring this here?" "Ah, what?—oh, this pair of window curtains?" Shunying smiled proudly, "It was a gift from a friend here. You see, the material is French satin, but I don't like the color very much." "Hahaha, Mrs. Lu," Sensei He could hear it over there, "I know you like green. It matches the color of the sofa in this room."

"That's right, He Shenyi is really an expert..." The second half of the sentence was overwhelmed by laughter. I accidentally walked to the stove to look at a family photo taken by Shunying and the others. I glanced at a telegram on the coffee table next to Songsheng, half-opened and full of codes. When I returned to my original position, I saw Shunying walking away from Songsheng with an unnatural expression on her face; I looked at the coffee table again, and the telegram had disappeared. "Let's go and sit inside," Shunying said softly to me, "I still have something for you to see."

I smiled, knowing that it might be some inconvenience for me to be here. When they arrived at Shunying's bedroom, they realized that the house was still next to the river.Even lying on Shunying's bed, I can see the high and low lights on the mountains and rivers.Shun Ying pulled me to sit down in front of the window, gesticulating and said, "Look, it really looks like Hong Kong! Oh, you haven't been to Hong Kong, right? That's a pity..." Meng Ke Immediately she jumped up again, looked towards the suite at the back of the bedroom, and waved: "Come on, I just said I have something for you to see, but I forgot."

I entered the suite, and at first glance, it turned out that the bathroom was converted into a laundry room. On a horizontal bar, various clothes of the couple were hung.While rummaging through the clothes, Shunying complained, "The rats here are really unthinkable. They are not afraid of cats, but cats are afraid of them! In my small room, the walls are sealed with cement. It’s solid, but if I don’t come to check it once a day, I can’t rest assured!” As he spoke, he took out a woolen coat with red and white stripes and thin checks, and unfolded it like a clerk in a clothing estimate shop. I turned around in front of my eyes, so I suddenly put the coat on me, giggled and said, "Great, great, this delicate color matches your white skin!"

She dragged me to the front room again like a demon, pushed me in front of the mirror, put on the sleeves for me, buttoned up the buttons, and smiled at me in the mirror: "There is nothing more fitting, it's like measuring I made it according to your figure!" I looked at myself in the mirror, and I also felt that the size and length fit me well, except that the hand was a little shorter.I pretended not to understand what Shunying's trick meant, and just smiled without opening my mouth. When I took off the coat, Shunying said, "If you like it, you can wear it. Anyway, I still have it!"

"Oh," I smiled, "You should keep it for yourself. I'm a civil servant, so I don't care about my clothes." "Hey, you don't have to be polite, sister," Shunying said softly and affectionately close to my ear, "you don't know, I've been married for three months. This coat is the smallest in size, and I can't afford it if it's left alone. Can’t wear it. Why are you being polite to me!” She couldn’t help but put the coat aside, and called Mama Zhang to wrap it up. I guess Shunying gave me this dress for no reason, so I am happy to accept it and see what she has to say.But she chattered about, and only talked about irrelevant things.Gradually talking about clothes, she turned her head sideways and said, "Oh, you see, I have a little memory here, so don't laugh at me." Then she called "Mother Zhang".

At this moment, I happened to have to take a pee, so Mama Zhang led me to the toilet first. While washing his hands, a sudden burst of laughter came from outside.My heart moved, I walked out of the toilet, and when I saw no one was there, I quietly went to the back of the living room and listened, and it turned out that I was not in the living room, but in another side room connected to the living room.There was a pair of windows at the back of the side room, both of which were pasted with light blue foreign gauze. As soon as I got close to the windows, the rich aroma of opium smoke wafted into my nostrils. It was clearly the voice of He Shen: "—Songsheng, your friends along the way, like that Chengbei Gong, are a bit wronged by spending money. Yesterday I talked with Fatty Chen, and he also had the same opinion as me. According to him, G's That piece of material is worth at most 20,000 yuan, but your Chengbei Duke gave 35,000 yuan! Hey! Songsheng, we are ten years old Yu, and your business is mine. And judging by the recent trends, quickly Then half a year, we will be united after a long time, and we can go boating on the Qinhuai River and have a drink!... Hahaha!" Amidst the laughter, someone spoke again, and it was Songsheng: "The most needed material is how many heavy and heavy guys have arrived in the past month, from the northwest or the southwest? Where are they hidden? The north of the city is confused, and the other side also knows. Otherwise, my brother won't come either. It's just that everything depends on your strength..." There was a sudden clap of applause, which startled me and almost hit the window, causing a mess.But then there was a long laugh from He Shenzhi, and he said with a smile: "Then—that's needless to say!——Whatever you want——If there is something wrong, you can find me——" Another shot There was a round of applause, probably a pat on the chest, "My surname is He. We are ten years old, your business is my business! " Hey, it turned out to be such a business, no wonder Shun Ying is so rich. I wanted to eavesdrop a few more words, but I didn't dare to stay any longer; if I ran into them and found out, it would be my life... I held my breath and took a few steps back, then turned around and walked lightly towards Shunying's bedroom go.Before he arrived, he saw that Mama Zhang was already coming.My heart was beating so hard, I bent over and touched my calf, and made an "oh" on purpose. "Here we come, Miss Zhao," Zhang Ma called, "Madam is afraid that you may make a wrong turn." "No." I straightened my body and walked into Shunying's bedroom lightly and slowly. Shunying leaned on the sofa, with a piece of rose-colored cloth spread in front of her knees, looked at me and said with a smile, "I told you last time—it's this one. It matches the coat just now." Said, put the material into my hand. I deliberately shook off the material, wrapped it around my body, stood in front of the mirror and looked at it again and again, then ran to Shunying with a smile on my face, took her hand and shouted: "Sister Shunying, thank you; the material is more Well, it’s gone, and I can’t buy it here if I have money. However, I don’t have anything good to answer you, so I’m ashamed to accept it.” "Where, where, look at you talking politely! We are old classmates, like sisters." Although Shunying spoke modestly, she had a virtuous look on her face.I found it funny and annoyed when I saw it, and when I thought about it, as the saying goes, "If you coax someone to death, you don't pay for your life", not to mention that what she got was "ill-gotten wealth", and it would not hurt integrity to take it, so I deliberately put the two gifts together. I picked it up in my hand, compared it again and again, and praised me: "The best material, the color is not so bright, if I wear it on a rough person like me, I feel ashamed to go out to meet people! Besides, Sister Shunying , there is a saying in our hometown: I picked up a garter and matched it with a poor family. I don’t thank you for giving me these two beautiful clothes today, but I blame you! You really screwed me up Horizontal is not good, and vertical is no good! You see, my whole body is up and down, which one is better than your two? I will have to go to a few department stores tomorrow to try to match a few, Dress up to suit you." After I finished speaking, I pursed my lips and smiled, but I thought about how the "business" of the two on the opium couch in the front ear room was doing. Shunying was so happy that her face was full of laugh lines, and suddenly she clapped her hands together, said "Oh", "I almost forgot again!" Then she called: "Mother Zhang, Mama Zhang, the new one I bought the day before yesterday Where did you put your leather shoes!" Without waiting for Mama Zhang, she bent down and looked under the bed, then hastily pulled out the drawer that had ceased fire a few times, rummaged through some old shoes and socks, and then , shut it again with a bang, and went straight to the laundry room behind the house. At this moment, Mama Zhang came in, and said slowly, "Did you buy that pair a few days ago?" She went to open a small door on the left wall, and reached in to feel for it. "Mother Zhang!" Shunying shouted loudly, her accent was a little flustered.But Mama Zhang had already opened the small door a little wider and let the light in, while she said to herself, "Isn't this!" She took out a small paper box; when she closed the small door again, Shunying had already rushed to the front, with an angry look on her face, she gave her a vicious look, and snatched the paper box with one hand. In that instant, I was leaning against the window, but I caught a glimpse of a small compound room inside the small door, which was originally used for hanging clothes. There seemed to be several openings in this compound room. Small wooden box.Why is Shunying so flustered?I slightly turned my face to look at the lights on the mountains across the river, as if I didn't care about anything. "I just bought it the day before yesterday," Shunying walked up to me with a pair of two-color inlaid high heels in her hand and said, "I've been wearing them for a long time when I got home, and they still feel a little tight. Sister, maybe you're wearing inverted shoes." I looked at the leather shoes and just pursed my lips and smiled.This is exactly the style that I have taken a fancy to and have no money to buy.Shunying kept urging me to give it a try.I took her arm and said with a smile, "No need to try. If you think it's tight, I'll fit it. Sister Shunying, you don't remember that we tried it when we were in school. But it's funny to think about it. Today I Wearing you from head to toe!" She also smiled, but said very sincerely: "It's not worth anything. What else do you need, I'll find it for you. It turns out that Xiqiang—" She suddenly shrank.But seeing me smiling and not saying a word, he went on to say: "He told Songsheng and me to see where you need help. What a trivial matter!..." We sat together on the sofa by the window, chatting with each other.I looked at the snow-white three-color printed bed sheet on the bed, and thought to myself: "They do such a thing...it's strange to attack the mansion in a grand manner, so it turns out that He Shenshi... It's just that the general manager surnamed Zhou is what kind of way?" What about it?...And the wooden box in the compound room..." Two thoughts were torn in my mind: one was to fuck with them, let's hang out with them, wherever I went; the other was timid, thinking it was still It's better not to touch your hands, such a thing, sooner or later-and I have never seen a big battle. There was a delicate laugh that pulled me out of my wild thoughts.I quickly looked up, and before I saw anyone, I smelled a fragrance.But Shun Ying had already stood up, smiled and said to me: "It must be Misi D. Don't you know her? You can compare with her...she is the best, but actually she is only good at embellishing her." .” A tall and tall man came in front of him like a gust of wind, and he laughed and yelled at the beginning: "Ah, old classmate, how affectionate, he doesn't even greet the guests, it's cold outside!" I've seen this heroine two or three times, and I don't like her. She seemed to know me too, so she smiled at me, grabbed me with one hand, and Shunying with the other, giggling and saying, "Go, go, all the guests are here. It's not lovers, you can't talk heart-to-heart." Enough talk! Go!" "Is it really all here? I don't believe it." Shunying said, asking the secret secretary D to sit down. I couldn't understand Miss D's style of work, and I was eager to go out, so I urged from the side: "Shunying, you are the master, let's go outside." But I had another plan in my heart: let them go first, I have to Take a peek at what is in the wooden box in the compound room. But Misi D just entangled me, talking long and short,... Sure enough, there were three more guests in the living room: two men and one woman, and the cups and chopsticks on the big round table in the middle had already been placed. Song Sheng and He Shenyu stood in front of the fire and talked.Song Sheng had a roll of paper in his hand, which seemed to be the telegram.A newcomer, a man and a woman, are flirting and flirting on the sofa on the right. Like a butterfly, Miss D jumped up to a short fat man, screamed "Director", but lowered his voice softly, causing the short fat man "Director" to just giggle. Shunying introduced me to a man and a woman on the sofa. The woman named "Lian Lian" or "Lian Lian" is only about twenty, and she looks pleasing to the eye; she greeted me affectionately, and while I was socializing with her, I looked at the man surnamed Liu, and thought he was very kind-hearted. .There was a little rusticity in his daring manner, which was hard to forget after seeing him. But that General Manager Zhou walked over slowly, chatted casually with Liu, and then turned to me and "Lian Lian". "Lian Lian" suddenly said "Yeah", threw away half of the cigarette in his hand, but raised his hand to look at it, and smiled slightly, as if he was talking to me or to General Manager Zhou, " Where did the mosquitoes come from, how strange!" She turned around cleverly, went to the tea table in front of Liu, took another cigarette, and sat on the sofa with Liu again. "Miss Zhao," General Manager Zhou put on a smile all over his face, and he was really amiable, "I just heard from Mrs. Song that you are Mr. Mao's daughter. Hey, I have been friends with Mr. Zun for many years. When we served in the Ministry, we were colleagues. Haha..." "Oh, so it's Old Shibo... I haven't been at home much since I was a child, and I've never paid a visit to him." I replied with a smile, but felt a little embarrassed in my heart. But General Manager Zhou was very concerned and asked about my father's recent situation; I couldn't answer a series of questions.It seems that this "old man" didn't know that I had fallen out with my father long ago, and it was rare to write back once a year.I was unable to hesitate, but happened to be reported by the errand: "The guest is here!" Only then did General Manager Zhou's eyes turn away. In fact, without He Shenshu's introduction, Song Sheng would definitely be able to guess that the visitor was Secretary Chen -- Fatty Chen.After exchanging pleasantries, the host invited the guests to the table, obviously waiting for Fatty Chen alone. Seeing me at the table, Fatty Chen narrowed his eyes strangely and smiled at me.I don't understand what the hell he was thinking, but I laughed in my heart and said, "Don't pretend! You and He Shen plan to dig the foot of G's wall, I already know; you ghosts and ghosts, I will watch the excitement from the sidelines , This is the posture and position I present at this table today." My seat was set between Shunying and General Manager Zhou.The chief is actually the old official Liu who is three parts rustic and seven parts official.The so-called "Lian Lian" and Misi D are listed on the left and right sides.Excluding these two "vases", the following seats are the so-called "Director", Fatty Chen, and then General Manager Zhou.When Shunying invited me to the table, she smiled apologetically, and Song Sheng also bowed her hands from a distance,—is this because I was the last one at the table?However, I would like to thank them for such an arrangement.I understood later. After serving jelly, some unsightly movements were performed one by one.The vortex of the violent storm is right around the old official Liu, that kind of vileness, that kind of brutality...Miss D is very experienced and doesn't care at all.But the so-called "Lian Lian" seemed to be in a panic... When "Lian Lian" was dodging left and right, suddenly, I saw Miss D leave his seat quietly.I looked at her coldly. I thought she was acting on a whim and looking for a place to escape. Unexpectedly, she walked up to the light switch, stretched out her hand, and patted it. A ray of light from the ear room prevented everyone from stretching out their fingers.Then there is a live drama that has never been seen before.At the first moment, people thought that the electric light was broken, and there was a dumb scene, but then they suddenly realized.This is a "golden opportunity".The chaotic shadows, the clamoring, the sensual laughter, and the pitiful panting begs for forgiveness... I vaguely saw "Lian Lian" fleeing to the stove,... I can't bear it anymore, Ignoring that Miss D was still watching, he went to turn on the light. My meddling this time has caused trouble.First, it was D's hint, and then the so-called "director" charged... Although the "old man" gave me cover, he was outnumbered.The situation that is beneficial to me is that I am not connected to their positions, I am Shunying on one side, and "Old Shibo" on the other, and I can drink a few glasses.What I have to beware of is that they leave their seats and come to "compete wine" with me, and then D and the like can flick the switch again to "fish in troubled waters".Sure enough, just as I expected, after everyone toasted, He Shenshi held the cup in his left hand and the pot in his right, and left his seat to "just" me.As soon as I saw that it was a glass for drinking soda, I knew his "tactics".His terms are "everybody gets a drink."it is good!Fair enough.However, I was asked to "do it first".Haha, I expected it.At this time, the situation needs to be cut quickly, not muddled.I immediately agreed unconditionally, but after drinking half a glass in one breath, I felt a nah, stretched my neck, and sprayed a mouthful of wine on He's body. I apologized and pretended to be drunk. Shunying called the servant to get a hot towel... By this time, I ran away in a hurry. Sitting down in Shunying's bedroom, she drank a few sips of strong tea, and Shunying followed.She asked me to go out, I said dizzy heartbeat.Take a break.There is a fierce commotion outside, the sound of laughter seems to be in the next room.I pretended to be drunk, and said to Shunying: "Miss D, I think she is a bit low-key. Women should sympathize with women, but she helps their men and plays tricks on Lian Lian. I saw with my own eyes that she was the one who locked the door. Light." Shunying only smiled when she heard this, but she held back her smile again, leaned her head closer, and said quietly: "Don't underestimate her, this person has great powers!" "Oh," I pretended to be stupid on purpose, "what kind of supernatural powers, but relying on thick skin to act low!" Deputy Intelligence Network.” Shunying paused for a moment, then looked at me with deep meaning, and then said quietly: “When we first met her, we thought she was a bit like you: in stature, in appearance, especially alert and fierce. .If you do the same thing, she will definitely lose the competition; in fact, you are now..." Suddenly, someone at the door of the room snorted and laughed, which startled us all.Standing there not more than ten feet away from us was Misi D, and behind her was Zhang Ma. D didn't open his mouth, just smiled, couldn't help saying, pulled Shunying and left.I was stunned for a while, and seeing that Madam Zhang hadn't left, I asked, "Miss D came just now, why didn't you call Madam?" "Just when I wanted to call out, she laughed out loud—she doesn't have much time to stand up." Mama Zhang raised eyebrows when she said the latter sentence.This guy is also a "human spirit"!Shunying specially brought her here from Shanghai, it would be interesting.Seeing that I had nothing to say, she offered her hospitality again: "Miss Zhao, would you like another cup of strong tea? Madam has good Pu'er tea, I'll make a cup of it." She regarded me as Shunying's confidant! After Mama Zhang turned around, I simply lay on the sofa, and my eyes inadvertently moved to the small door on the left wall of the compound room, and a thought suddenly reminded me.Turning over, I took a look at the door of the room first, then I immediately moved to the back room, and opened the door; looking at the wooden box, the lid was half-covered, and gently lifted the lid, —— oh, everything is full Understood! There's a radio transceiver in this box, hey! After closing the small door of the compound room, I hesitated for a moment, then walked out of the bedroom. In the living room, the banquet is about to disperse.But my appearance caused a small fluctuation.I immediately admitted that I was fined for drinking for three minutes, and finally the trivial matter turned into nothing. Fatty Chen told me: There will be a change in personnel recently, and my job will also be adjusted, but it hasn't been decided yet, and he doesn't know much about it. I was startled when I heard this, and was about to ask, but he smiled strangely again, and asked softly: "It seems that you have a good relationship with today's master, isn't it? Today is inconvenient, and we will talk about it in detail in a day," I understand. He smiled, but then remembered the "headless case" that K said, so he asked Chen Fatty some questions.He tilted his head in thought: "Probably, but I can't remember." Song Sheng and the others had already been entrenched in the ear room over there, calling out "Secretary Chen". I also went back to Shunying's bedroom to drink the thick Pu'er tea Zhang Mate had prepared for me. Shunying sat in front of the dressing table, re-evening her makeup.I was also really a little drunk, lying on the sofa to enjoy the night view of Duijiang.I thought: No one will believe what I have seen and heard tonight?But if He Shenshi and the like give a report on some week, they will still be gnashing their teeth and filled with righteous indignation, as if he is patriotic, responsible, hardworking, and decent!What a show!But there are some "fools" who really believe them.There are also some "fools" who don't even want their lives... The image of K suddenly appeared before my eyes again.It's a pity that he didn't have the chance to see everything tonight. And there is also the gentleman in the "Headless Koan"...and they also ordered me to find Xiao Zhao within a time limit!I suddenly had a whimsy, thinking that Shunying and the others might know something about this kind of news.I turned to look at her, but she was busy with her precious perm. Smiling, I turned over and helped her.I look at her face in the big mirror, find words, and explore step by step.I will start by asking questions from a distance from a few of my former classmates; if I have clues, then I can turn to Xiao Zhao.I believe Shunying also knew that I had a Xiao Zhao. None came to fruition.Finally I mentioned Ping.Unexpectedly, Shunying pursed her lips, snorted and said, "Don't talk about Ping anymore. This person is weird. Two days ago, I kindly introduced her to a job, and she earned ten times more than the job she is doing now. Who knows?" Knowing that she is not happy. It’s fine if she is not happy, but she provokes a lot of talk, saying that a person who goes to that kind of place is depraved and has no soul! What a joke.” "In this world, it is not easy to have a soul." I said with a sigh. After Shunying finished her make-up, she still had to go to the front to make arrangements, so I left. Smoke filled the ear room, and the bamboo battle in the living room was in full swing.As soon as Chen Fatty saw me, he asked me to type a few copies for him.I saw that it was the "bottom" of 5,000 yuan, and Fatty Chen would do it with one bottom. ——"Do you want me to replace it? How about you plan to lose again?" I said with a smile, and I was about to leave, but Song Sheng also advised me to act as a substitute, he and Fatty Chen had something to discuss. Hum, I know what this is about.Since this happened, Fatty Chen probably didn't care if he lost three or four times, so I took the place.Why don't I borrow someone else's wine glass to pour my own block?I try to be a big name.Unexpectedly, Fatty Chen had good luck today. In less than half an hour, with a big name, he actually succeeded... Fatty Chen is a double fortune! I slept at Shunying's house that night, but I really couldn't sleep well.I don't know what happens in the middle of the night in this "strange" place. But there is another reason that makes me so excited, that is, if I accidentally learn about these people and things, they will not be "useful" to me in the future. G If I dare to be rude again, I will have another "venomous fang", unless, as Senator He said, it is really "the long-term must be united"; but, is it really possible?
