But Master Shang Tiren and General Liu rushed into the house, but Feng Xi was nowhere to be seen. General Liu shouted, "Tiren! You really have no reason for this. If there are beauties, there are beauties. If there are no beauties, why do you blame me? Master Shang smiled, but kept silent, but just pouted into the bathroom door.Yaqin had already run in, said with a smile: "My sister is young, she is a bit shy, please don't make trouble." Then, she walked into the bathroom, only to see Fengxi standing with her body on her back facing the mirror, Yaqin stepped forward He pulled her back and smiled: "Why do you want to hide? We are all friends and relatives. If we want to see each other, we should see each other. They can still eat you up." As he spoke, he pulled Feng Xi out desperately.Feng Xi lowered her head, leaned her body against the wall, took a step, took a step, and got close to the copper bed, no matter what, she refused to move forward.When Yaqin was talking in the bathroom, the eyes of Liu Shang and the others shot into the bathroom door like two lightning bolts.When Feng Xi came out, General Liu's hairy hairs turned upwards, and he felt numb for a while; unexpectedly, such a beautiful woman walked out of nowhere, and said to Ya Qin with a smile all over her face: "This is Mrs. Shang's fault. I have a guest here, but he didn't write us a letter first, and let us come in in a daze, I'm really sorry." After saying that, he took a step forward, bowed halfway to Feng Xi and said with a smile "What's the lady's name? Don't be offended by us being a bit reckless." Seeing that he was so polite, Feng Xi was embarrassed to ignore him; she could only get rid of Yaqin's hand, stood still, and bowed to General Liu in return. .Yaqin stood among the three of them and introduced them one by one, then they all went out of the room and sat in the inner living room.

Feng Xi sat down next to Yaqin, lowered her head, looked at the big patterns woven on the carpet, bit her lower lip slightly with her upper teeth, although she hated General Liu for being so old, she even hated him leaning forward A pair of ephedra eyes only see people.But I often hear people say that the general is a very important official, and the term "general" is often sung even in Dagu Ci.Although the current general may not be the same as the old one, he must be a high-ranking official.So when I sat on the side, I couldn't help peeking at him, thinking to myself: The name of a high official sounds nice to hear, but at first glance, he is just a very ordinary person. .When she was thinking this way, Yaqin kept saying something, trying to lead Fengxi to speak.We sat together for half an hour, and we became much more acquainted than when we first met.General Liu said: "What's the point of us sitting here withered? We have four legs ready-made, let's play a small game, okay?" Master Shang and Yaqin agreed at the same time, Fengxi just pretended not to know, and said nothing. ignore.Yaqin said: "Big sister! Let's play four laps, okay?" Fengxi turned around, shook her head at Yaqin, and said softly: "I don't know how!" General Liu smiled and said: "No, there is no elder sister who can't play poker. Come, come, play four rounds. If Miss Shen doesn't come, then you will think we are rough people and can't make friends. Feng Xi could only laugh and said, "I dare not take what you say." General Liu said, "It's not that you think we're rude, why don't you come?" Feng Xi said, "It's not that you won't come, because I don't know how to do this." General Liu said: "It doesn't matter if you don't know how, I'll ask two people to watch behind you, just be your staff, it doesn't matter whether you win or lose, you have a sister here to protect your bodyguard. Besides, we are just Just for fun, who cares about the money. Come on! Come on!" When he said this, Mr. Shang had already ordered the servants to arrange the scene, that is, to set up tables and chairs in the middle of the living room, and spread a table rug on the table , so that the mahjong cards were put down and the chips were distributed.Feng Xi sat on the side, watching coldly, always silent; when the scene was arranged, Yaqin smiled and stretched out her hand to hold Feng Xi's arm and said, "Come on, come on! Everyone is waiting for you, you alone Does anyone have the nerve not to come?" Feng Xi thought to herself, if she didn't come, she would feel a little disrespectful, so she lowered her head, supported the edge of the table with both hands, stood still, but didn't say anything.Yaqin smiled and said: "Come on! The two of us drive to and from the bank. I'll deposit a sum of money for you first, and I'll pay you if you lose." When she said that, she took out a stack of banknotes from her body and handed them to Fengxi's pocket. Tucking it in, he said with a smile, "Then it's yours." Feng Xi felt that the bill was so soft that it probably wouldn't be less.It's just in the way of face, so it's not easy to take it out and have a look.However, with this money, even if you lose, you can resist for a while, and you won't be unable to end.Because of this, she raised her head and said with a smile: "My mother told me to sit down for a while and go back. I can't delay." Yaqin said: "Hey! Such a big girl can't live without her mother. In my life Isn't it like being in your home here? Play for a while, what's the point! We don't see each other all the time, why leave when we see each other. You are not allowed to say that again, and if you say that again, I will get annoyed with you. " Liu Shang and the other two saw that she didn't mean to refuse, and it seemed that she was allowed to play cards. They sat down early, stretched their hands on the table, and shuffled the cards.General Liu said with a smile: "Miss Shen! Come, come, we are waiting." Yaqin pushed her down with her hand, and then sat down on the chair, and she herself sat down under Fengxi's hands.Because everyone was already seated, Feng Xi couldn't just sit here, so she unknowingly reached out to the table with both hands, and made the cards match.Her master was none other than General Liu.As soon as she entered the court, she tried her best to take care of her. The cards she played were all center cards, and Fengxi had the opportunity to get a card at any time; she drew four cards in two rounds, and since then, her luck has never been better. I saw its flourishing.General Liu, who got started, just became inversely proportional, and he didn't draw a single card.There was one card, and in Fengxi's hand, there were eight cards, and there were only five broken cards. She thought to herself: I won a lot of money, so it doesn't matter if I sacrifice a bit.Because he let go of his courage, he only beat Wanzi away, grabbed the bobbin, and kept them all.I started by dismantling a pair of 50,000 to hit it, and then hit a pair of 8suo, thinking that those who are getting started may pay attention.But General Liu didn't play ten thousand pieces, nor did he play ropes. Zhang Zhang used only tubes. Six tubes, and a lonely white board; waiting to eat two, five, four, seven tubes and Dinghe, General Liu specializes in making tubes, and he made a seven tube; When the whiteboard was being played out, Yaqin called out to touch it at the same time, but took two seven-tubes and touched it.It doesn't matter if Feng Xi can't eat, in this way, he has a bag in one hand, and he has told others that it is a pity that he can't get along with such a clean and smooth one.General Liu took a peek at her and saw a slight blush on her face, so he couldn't help smiling. When it was time for him to draw a card, he picked up a card of ten thousand. Without thinking about it, he took four, five, six, three The tubes were dismantled, and four tubes were taken out.Feng Xi was afraid that someone would touch it again, so she waited a while, and quietly released five or six tubes to eat.Yaqin said to General Liu: "Did you see that? There are three sets of buns on the ground. Whoever wants to make a bun should eat the bun." General Liu smiled and said, "She's a fake, and I'm determined not to reconcile the buns." Yaqin said: "If you don't get along with the tube, don't care about him. You know that she wants to eat four or seven tubes, so why does she eat a four tube?" General Liu snorted and touched his head with his hand. Said: "This is because I lost my mind." While talking, it was time for General Liu to play cards again. He smiled and said: "I don't believe it, are they all the same? I can't bear to break up my good hand of cards, I will take care of it." As he said that, he pulled out the five cylinders, pulled them in front of him, then pressed them with two fingers, pushed them from the table to Feng Xi, and said with a smile, "Do you want it?" It's a bit deliberate.Now I have even played five barrels, obviously to let myself make a match, and when my heart moved, the two dimples on my face moved, and I smiled and said: "It's really a match." So he spread the cards out, General Liu. He shouted: "I have nothing to say, eat buns, eat buns." Then he pushed his own cards into the pile of cards, took out some money, counted some money, and sent them to Fengxi together with odd chips .Feng Xi laughed and said, "What are you busy with?" General Liu said, "The more you eat buns, the more you want to give money to them. Otherwise, people will suspect that I'm cheating." Everyone laughed .In the midst of this smile, Feng Xi took the money.Under the table, Mr. Shang kicked Yaqin's leg and then General Liu's leg, so the three of them looked at each other and smiled.Four rounds of cards are over, Feng Xi has already won three or four hundred yuan, she doesn't know how big the cards are, and she doesn't know how much a chip should be worth, anyway, people take it when they bring it, give the money out, and ask Give again.Although I feel a bit stuck in a gourd, but when I ask, I am afraid that I will appear like a petty family, so I can only estimate.She couldn't help shouting a few times ashamed in her heart, luckily General Liu played the cards loosely today and let her win a pair of big cards, if it wasn't like this today, just keep losing, where did she get the money to pay the card bill.Playing quietly like this today, finally took a great risk, looking back at their losers, they were still playing cards with a smile on their faces.It turns out that wealthy people don't care about money so much. Ordinary people regard ten or eight yuan as important as a millstone. Compared with it today, they have gained a lot of knowledge.After the four rounds of cards were played, Feng Xi couldn't think about it at first, but it was difficult for her to say that she had won so much money; but they sat still and didn't ask Feng Xi's permission, and went on Hit down.After playing four more rounds, Feng Xi won another hundred yuan, but she was afraid that they would not give up.However, General Liu stood up, yawned, and stretched, which was a sign of fatigue.When everyone got up together, an old woman had already handed over a fragrant hand towel.After putting down the towel, another maid respectfully brought a cup of tea to her hand.Feng Xi took a sip, and when she was about to put down the teacup, the maid had already taken it with a smile.Just coughed, and was about to spit, another footman bent over and brought the spittoon to his feet.I thought to myself that a wealthy family is really enjoying the blessings, even if I am here as a guest, and occasionally let him take care of me for a while, I really feel very comfortable.Yin said to Yaqin: "You are too polite, if this is the case, I won't be able to come here in the future." Yaqin said: "Don't be polite! I asked you to eat today. I am the cook at home. I made it with the money, but I don't have it." Go to a restaurant to order food, don’t be surprised.” Feng Xi smiled and said, “You said you’re welcome, but you’re still polite.” As she spoke, she thought to herself: It’s probably something their family eats casually. Vegetable rice.

At this time, Yaqin gave way again, and let her into the inner living room, a small elegant room. There was a small round table full of dishes, and two servants in white clothes stood at the side of the room. , stood obliquely, waiting to be served respectfully.Master Shang said that Feng Xi was the first time visitor, so she must be seated at the top. General Liu was not humble, so he just sat next to Feng Xi. Master Shang smiled at General Liu and sat down.As soon as he sat down, the footman in white brought a large bowl of braised shark's fin in braised sauce and placed it in the middle of the table.Feng Xi scolded herself again in her heart, it turns out that their family's light meals are all so good.General Liu took a sip of wine with his cup in his hand. He didn't eat the meat and vegetables on the table, but he just moved the plate of raw red radish and cucumber with his tooth chopsticks.Yaqin said with a smile: "General Liu wants to taste our dishes today. We have changed cooks today." There are quite a few, and up to now there is no suitable one." Master Shang laughed and said, "You are looking for a cook, it is really a name, since there is no wife at home, and you don't live at home, why do you want a cook?" General Liu said: "I can't afford not to eat at home. What if I don't have to cook, and I don't go out sometimes? Well! Since our wife died, everything is not easy. At least, I spent, and I didn't." The housekeeper’s loss is probably seventy or eighty thousand.” Mr. Shang said: “I think it’s more than that. Since you don’t have a wife, you don’t go anywhere in Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai; Can you figure out the amount of money?" General Liu laughed when he heard that.Feng Xi sat on it and listened to their conversations, it was all about the bustling side, but she couldn't get into the conversation, she just listened silently.After eating a meal, General Liu also memorized the history of the meal.After the meal, Yaqin led Fengxi into the bathroom, and she went out by herself.Feng Xi closed the door and quickly took out the banknotes she was carrying, counted some, and won more than 400 yuan; the bet that Yaqin borrowed was 250 yuan.The stack of banknotes was rolled separately, but it was never mixed with the winning money; therefore, the roll of banknotes was still placed separately.After taking a shower and coming out, she handed the banknote back to Yaqin and said, "Thank you for lending me the capital, I should pay it back." Yaqin stretched out her palm and pushed Fengxi's hand that held the banknote outward, She shook her head and said, "It's a small matter, it needs to be talked about." Feng Xi thought that she was being humble at most, so she took it back. Unexpectedly, she thought it was petty, and couldn't help but become popular first. Face, because of a smile, he said: "No matter how much, there is no one who borrows money and refuses to repay." Yaqin said: "You just keep it, and we can count it when we play small cards next time." Feng Xi saw more than two hundred Yuan, I thought it would be good to buy something, but she refused to ask for it, so I finally accepted it.He smiled and said, "That's fine too." So he put it in his bag again.Looking at his watch, Yin smiled and said, "Didn't my sister say to take me back by car? Excuse me, I'm leaving, it's almost nine o'clock." Yaqin said: "What are you busy with? There is a car to take you back. It doesn't matter if it's a little late." Feng Xi said: "I'm afraid my mother will miss it, otherwise it won't be a big deal if I sit for a while longer. Besides, I'm getting acquainted and we will see each other often in the future, so why do I care about today?" Yaqin Said: "If you say that, I won't force you to stay." So he ordered the servant to drive to see the guest off.At this moment, General Liu also ran in, and said with a smile: "How about it, Miss Shen is leaving? I also want to ask Mrs. Shang to accompany Miss Shen to the opera." Feng Xi said lightly, not being serious, Yah Qin Dai replied: "My sister has something to do, so I have to go back today. General Liu wants to ask, but I will accompany you if I change another day." General Liu said: "Okay! That's right, let me take Miss Shen back with my car." "Yaqin laughed and said: "I know that General Liu will be upset if he doesn't show some kindness. Then, big sister! You can go in General Liu's car." Fengxi just said casually, but she couldn't say for sure. Whichever car you want to take, you must not take which kind of car.So the Shangs and his wife and General Liu took Fengxi out of the gate together, watched her get into the car under the electric light, and then went in.

When Fengxi got home, she just knocked on the door, and Aunt Shen and Shen Sanxuan came out to welcome her.Seeing that she was smiling, Shen Sanxuan couldn't help laughing too.Feng Xi walked all the way back to the room, and said, "Mom! Come quickly." As soon as Aunt Shen entered the room, she saw that Feng Xi's clothes hadn't been changed yet, so she turned her back to the window, and kept digging and digging at her body. Many banknotes were placed on the bed; looking at the characters on the banknotes, they were all ten and five yuan. I couldn't help saying: "Oh! Where are you...?" Covering his mouth, he stretched out his head to look at the banknotes, then at Fengxi's face, and said with a low smile, "As expected, where did you get all this money?" The voice spoke in detail, and Yin smiled: "I earn so much money a day, and this is the only time in my life. But I don't really care if they lose money. That General Liu also said that he would invite me to Listening to an opera." After saying this, her voice became louder.Aunt Shen said: "Don't agree to this indiscriminately; a big girl's family went to the theater with a man, and it would be inconvenient for the surname Fan to know about it." Before the sentence was finished, Shen Sanxuan accosted outside the window and said: "Sister-in-law, you What's the matter! This General Liu is the brother of Marshal Liu, so he has great power." Aunt Shen and Feng Xi were startled at the same time.Aunt Shen ran out of the house and stopped at the door, Fengxi shoved the banknotes on the bed under the quilt.Shen Sanxuan went to the outside room, and said to Aunt Shen: "Sister-in-law! Just now I heard in the yard that General Liu wants to invite a young lady to listen to a play. This is a rare thing. This is a great face, why Can't go? Since he is a monk and his wife is considered a friend, let's climb a little higher and be considered a friend." Aunt Shen hurriedly stopped her and said, "What's bothering you? I want you to chat for a while." Shen Sanxuan said something After saying that, he took a deep breath, and smiled back.Although he didn't say anything, he walked back to the room, secretly happy in his heart.Aunt Shen pretended to be going to sleep, and closed the door of the north room early, and then came to Fengxi's room and counted the banknotes five times carefully, totaling seven hundred and twenty yuan.Aunt Shen sat down on the bed, took Feng Xi's hand, and said in a low voice with a smile: "Son! Our luck this year is not bad! With the money left by Uncle Fan, it's worth thousands. According to the method of putting loan sharks, we will be able to live half our lives after the anniversary." Feng Xi couldn't help smiling when she heard this.When it’s time to go to sleep, I keep thinking about how to spend that note of money on the pillow; if I keep it at home, I have too much money, and I’m afraid of something going wrong; I’ve never had any experience saving it in a bank. However, I don't know what the procedure is.If it is according to my mother's advice, it is good to give loan sharks, and I have borrowed loan sharks in my own family. I borrowed 30 yuan from others, and it was 100 hangs of copper, and the principal and interest were paid back every three days. Qing, it's exactly the opposite, every time my mother pays back the money, she curses him behind her back, always saying that he eats one and dies;After thinking about it for most of the night, I never thought of a way.With so much money, I didn't get any benefit, and I didn't sleep well most of the night.The next morning, when I woke up, I quickly took the key to open the small box. I was relieved when I saw that the whole roll of banknotes was still stuffed in the corner of the box.Aunt Shen stepped into the room, opened her mouth wide, and asked softly: "What are you doing?" Feng Xi smiled and said: "I had a nightmare." After saying that, she pointed her hand at Shen Sanxuan's room : "I dreamed of that person and robbed the money. I fought with him and sweated all over. You touch my back." Aunt Shen laughed and said, "I also had a dream all night. Don't mention it. It's really troublesome if the alcoholic knows about it." Her mother and daughter were so wary of Shen Sanxuan, but Shen Sanxuan went out as soon as he got up in the morning.He didn't come home until half a day late.As soon as he saw Feng Xi, he cupped his hands and said: "Congratulations, you have made a small fortune. I advise you to go, there is nothing wrong with it!" Feng Xi said, "What did I make a fortune with? Money fell from the sky Is it?" Shen Sanxuan said with a smile: "Although you can't hit it from the sky, it's cheap anyway. You won hundreds of dollars playing cards at Shang's house last night, isn't that considered a small fortune? Anyway, I don't want to What are you doing without telling me what to share with you? I went to Shang’s mansion just now and met Adjutant Huang. He told me everything. Would it still be false? He did. Mrs. Shang is on the first stage tonight. I booked a big car, and I want to invite you to the theater, let me tell you first when I come back, I will send a car to pick you up in a while." Feng Xiyin said: "I won a little money, but I borrowed two or three hundred yuan from Sister Yaqin and haven't paid her back yet." Shen Sanxuan waved his hands repeatedly and said, "I don't care about this, I'm asking if you want to listen to opera or not?" Feng Xi hesitated, but didn't for a while. promise to come out.Seeing that Mrs. Shen was in her room, she retreated into the room and asked her, "Mom! Do you think I will go or not? If I go, there must be Master Shang, General Liu, who is always with the men." , but it’s a little inconvenient; besides, it’s late at night, and I can’t come back until late at night. If I don’t go, Yaqin treats me really well; besides, it’s a room reserved for me today, so I insist on sweeping his face, but I feel embarrassed .” As she said this, her eyebrows frowned so deeply.Aunt Shen said: "It doesn't matter, what's the use of worrying your eyebrows with pimples? You just take their car and go to the theater, watch a play or two, and come home early." When Shen Sanxuan heard this in the outside room, he clapped his hands and jumped up, saying: "It's over, Mrs. Shang is with me, the original car comes, the original car goes, it doesn't matter. Dress up and change clothes Just wait. As soon as the car arrives, it's easy to leave." Although Feng Xi felt that his words were a bit flattering, but if she really went to sit in the box to listen to the play, she had to embellish it.So I dusted it off, and changed into an English-green silk flag shirt that I thought was the most proud.Because when Jiashu was in Beijing, she said she was pretty enough.The clothes should be lighter, and a female student should not dress too gorgeously, so among Fengxi's many new clothes, this dress is top-grade.Feng Xi changed her clothes, and it happened that the car sent by Master Shang to pick up the guests had just arrived.The guard guarding the car was already familiar, knocked on the door and came in, and shouted in the yard: "Mrs. Shen! Our wife has sent a car to pick up Miss." Aunt Shen has never been called her wife before, and she heard this in the house. Mrs. Sheng laughed immediately and said: "Okay! Please wait a moment." The two guards agreed, and Aunt Shen smiled and said to Feng Xi: "You are so polite, just go." Feng Xi went out with a smile. Aunt Shen wanted to send it out, but then she thought, the guard called me his wife, so she shouldn't look down on herself too much.How can there be a wife who comes to the gate to close the door at night.So just call in the house and come back early.Feng Xi was very happy and went straight to the car, ignoring her words.

The car drove all the way to the entrance of the first stage, and there were two other guards waiting. As soon as they saw Feng Xi getting off the car, they stepped forward and called the lady to lead the way.There were seven or eight gatekeepers and ticket inspectors in the theater near Ermen, and they saw four hanging cannons in front of and behind Fengxi.They all took a step back, stepped aside, and bowed together.Two more people said: "Miss, are you here?" Feng Xi was afraid that they would see that it was not the real lady, so she puffed her chest out, ignored them, and walked in.When we got to the box, it turned out that Mr. Shang and his wife were there with General Liu.This is a large box with a row of chairs in front, which can seat four people.As soon as Feng Xi came in, they all stood up and offered to sit down.At a glance, General Liu was sitting at the north end, and there was an empty chair in the middle, which was next to him. It was obvious that this was an empty seat.Ben didn't want to sit, but the next chair was Yaqin's. She turned her body to one side, moved the empty chair, and said with a smile, "Let's sit and talk together." Although Feng Xi saw There are four chairs behind him, and there is a maid standing there, and two maids, he must not be with them, so he has to sit down with a smile on his face.As soon as he was seated, General Liu poured a cup of tea, put his hands on the railing in front of her, and called Miss Shen to drink tea with a smile.Then, he kept grabbing the melon seeds, peanuts, tangerine peel, plums and other fruits in the plate and handed them to the front of him.Feng Xi could only say don't be polite, but there was no way to stop him.At this time, "Three Claps" was being performed on the stage. An old bearded man sat and listened blankly, while a female role in a palace uniform sang slowly, which did not arouse the interest of the audience at all.Because of this, in the theater garden, only the noise of mosquitoes can be heard.At first, most people spoke, but later they couldn't hear the opera, so everyone in Suoxing spoke.General Liu also talked to Fengxi, asking her which school she was in and what kind of homework did she have in school?From school, it is unavoidable to ask home.General Liu heard she said that there was only one uncle who was free at home, so he asked what he did in the past?Feng Xi wanted to explain, but she was afraid that people would look down on her, so she blushed and only said that it was for business; General Liu also laughed.The more Feng Xi felt embarrassed, she turned her head to talk to Yaqin.I saw a string of beads hanging around her neck, on the snow-green silk shirt, hanging down to her chest, but it was very obvious as a foil, so she asked with a smile: "How much did you buy these beads?" Thinking about it, I saw people buying it in foreign goods stores, but it was only a few cents.Although hers is good, it is probably only a dollar or two.I was thinking about it in my heart, but I didn't dare to ask.Unexpectedly, Yaqin replied: "This is true, the beads are not very big, and they were bought for 1,200 yuan." Unconsciously, Feng Xi's heart skipped a beat, and she asked again: "How much is it? Yaqin said: "I bought it for 1,200 yuan. Is it expensive? Some people say it's only worth 800 or 900 yuan." Feng Xi put her hand on the bead ring, tilted her head to look appreciative, and smiled. Said: "It's worth it! A while ago I saw a pair that was not as good as this one, and it was still sold at such a price." At this moment, Feng Xi simply looked at the clothes Yaqin was wearing, and felt that the material was very fine. Bright again, but I don't know what to call it.Looking at the material, it is all made of white silk thread, embroidered with various white cranes in various shapes, and the cuffs and the bottom hem of the skirt are embroidered with wave patterns and seaweed, all of which are matched with green and white silk thread. As a result, this parrot-green semi-new spun silk flag shirt is the same elegant and elegant, but on my side, it is obviously monotonous and shabby.Estimating the material of this kind of clothing, and not knowing that it is worth one hundred and eighty, don't ask people to make fun of you.So I shifted the focus of my words to watching the play, and asked what the play meant?What are the words?Yaqin looked at General Liu, pouted her mouth, and said with a smile: "Ah! If you ask him, he is an old theater fan. He can understand nine out of ten plays." After he made up, he felt that it was a bit inconvenient to talk to this person.But people are always blindly polite, how can they ignore it?He was talking endlessly, Feng Xi could only smile a little, and agreed to a very simple sentence for a while.Everyone was enjoying the play, when Master Shang suddenly frowned a few times, because he said: "The air in this theater is really bad, I'm so dizzy." Yaqin heard that, she turned around quickly, persistently Mr. Shang held his hand, and said softly: "Today's play is not very good, why don't we go back first." Later, Miss Shen wants to go home, I can take her back by car.When Fengxi heard about it, she was very reluctant; but she couldn't keep the sick person from going home, and even if she wanted to say it, she seemed to be trying to make trouble with others, so she just stood up, hesitating, unable to say why. .While she was hesitating, Yaqin had already walked out of the box, yelled twice that she was sorry, and said that she would invite her another day, so she left as a monk.Here Fengxi and General Liu are only watching the play, the maid behind the chair has long since gone back with Yaqin.At this time, although Feng Xi had her eyes fixed on the stage, what kind of plot was being performed on the stage?But they couldn't tell the difference at all.There was a fan next to the box where I was sitting, and it was very cool; but the heat came from my heart, and the heat penetrated my spine, as if I was sweating outwards.There is a word in my stomach that I want to say goodbye and go home. I have to say it to General Liu several times, but I always feel suddenly afraid that he will be offended.Originally, General Liu was considerate in every way, sitting in the same box with him, watching a play for a while was nothing, could it be that this bit of face could not be given to others?So sitting here, even though I feel uneasy, I still can't say that sentence, I still sit.General Liu poured her a cup of tea, she smiled and bowed, General Liu took this opportunity to look at her face and said: "Miss Shen! Today's show is not very good, this Saturday, there is something good here." I will invite Miss Shen to listen to it again, will you appreciate it?" Feng Xi paused when she heard that, then smiled and said, "Thank you! I'm afraid I don't have time." General Liu smiled and said, "It's summer vacation now It's not that I don't have time. Simply, I just don't want to be rewarded; if I don't want to be rewarded, I dare not force it. Just now Miss Shen looked at Mrs. Shang's string of beads and seemed to like it very much. I have a string at home. Maybe it's better than Mrs. Shang's, I want to give it to Ms. Shen, but I wonder if Ms. Shen will accept it?" Feng Xi's dimples moved, and she said with a smile: "How dare you do it! How dare you do it!" General Liu Said: "As long as you are willing to accept it, I will definitely send it to you. What is the house number in Daxi Hutong?" Feng Xi said: "The house number is five. But the general dare not take something as a gift." He laughed again.From then on, the two simply started talking, forgetting about what was going on on the stage.Talking, unknowingly the play is over.General Liu said with a smile: "Miss Shen, let me take you back. It's late at night, and it's not easy to hire a car." Feng Xi only said that you're welcome, but she didn't refuse.General Liu walked out of the theater with her. General Liu's car was guarded by guards and parked at the theater entrance.When he was about to get into the car, General Liu unconsciously gave Feng Xi a hand, and they got into the car together.After getting into the car, General Liu ordered the guards standing beside the car not to follow the car and walked back.He casually unscrewed the dry battery light embedded in the roof of the car and extinguished it.

The car moved quickly, and within ten minutes, Feng Xi had already arrived at the door of the house.General Liu turned on the light, and the driver jumped out of the car and opened the door.Feng Xi got out of the car, and General Liu said repeatedly: "Goodbye, goodbye!" Feng Xi went to knock on the door without making a sound, but the doorbell rang, and Aunt Shen came out and opened the door with repeated promises, asking, "" Is that the car in front to take you back? Did I tell you to go and come back early, or did you come back after the show? It's more than one o'clock, and it really took me long enough to wait." Feng Xi lowered her head, silently Go back to the room.When Aunt Shen saw her like this, she quickly followed her into the room.Seeing that her face was red, and her hair was hanging down on her forehead, but it was a little fluffy.Asked softly: "Son! What's the matter?" Feng Xi forced a smile and said: "It's not good! Why do you ask this question?" Aunt Shen said: "Maybe you've got the heat! You look quite uncomfortable. "Feng Xi said: "That's not true." Aunt Shen felt that Mrs. Shang's invitation to the opera would not cause any trouble, so she stopped asking.Here Fengxi changed clothes and shoes slowly, but took out another roll of banknotes from her pocket, counted a few, and found that they were thirty bills of ten yuan each.I wonder if I should tell my mother the money?When he was in the car, grabbed my hand, and put the banknotes in my hand, he said the three hundred yuan, and use it to pay back Mrs. Shang's gambling money, I shouldn't have taken him. , so he underestimated me.Just say, Miss Shen!Do you think I don't know your history?You are doing the same thing as the former Mrs. Shang, he can say this, so he has no fear.Thinking of this, he sat blankly on the small iron bed, pinched the roll of banknotes in his left hand, and stretched out his index finger and middle finger with his right hand to stroke his lips.Thinking of this, I got up and closed the door and sat down again, thinking that he said that he would send me a string of beads tomorrow. What does that mean?According to what he said repeatedly, his wife had passed away, so, for me... thinking of this, he couldn't help but think deeply, put his hand on his face, turned his head, and saw the bust of the family tree hanging on the wall, Smiling towards myself.For some unknown reason, I suddenly shivered; soon after, I broke out in a cold sweat, and I dared not look at it.So he quickly moved the pillow away, and stuffed the roll of banknotes under the quilt.Just this time, he saw a few letters from Jiashu, took the envelopes in his hand, and took out the letter papers one by one to have a look.What the letter said, such as "Since the farewell, I will think of you when I see a girl of sixteen or seventeen years old;" "Our business, tell my mother slowly, it may be expected to succeed. I never lie to my mother, for you I lied a lot, I said you are a poor student, my mother approves of this kind of person, after returning to Beijing, we can go all the way openly." "Mom is completely fine, I can't wait to fly back to Beijing, because our The future is getting brighter and brighter. I want to come back and live this bright love life." "Our love is definitely not based on money, and I will never dare to insult you with these stinky money. But I would like to help you to be self-reliant, so that you won't be oppressed by money like before." These words may seem normal to others when they read them; but Feng Xi feels that every word has penetrated into her heart.After reading the letter, I couldn't help but look up at the portrait of the family tree again. I felt that he was calm and had a comforting smile on his face.He said that he never dared to insult me ​​with money, but he was willing to help me to stand on my own and not be oppressed by money. This is a fact.Otherwise, why would he bother to send me to a vocational school?When he sang Dagushu at Xiannongtan, he would give one yuan when he came. He never thought of getting to know me that day, but he just helped me.It's not that we are looking for him, of course he is still singing under the bell tower today.Now, with his money, she has cultivated herself to become a young lady, and she is about to do something wrong to him behind his back. So, is it justified in conscience?This General Liu is so old and rude, how can he be as gentle as Fan?Although Liu can spend money, it doesn't matter if I don't use his money; Fan, although he doesn't spend his money as generously, would be a beggar if he didn't have his money back then.想着又看看家树的像,心里更觉不安。有了,我今天以后,不和雅琴来往也就是了。于是脱了衣服,灭了电灯,且自睡觉。一贴着枕头,便想到枕头下的那一笔款子,更又想到刘将军许的那一串珠子;想到雅琴穿的那身衣服;想到尚师长家里那种繁华。设若自己做了一个将军的太太,那种舒服,恐怕还在雅琴之上。刘将军有些行动,虽然过粗一点,那正是为了爱我,哪个男子又不是如此的呢?我若是和他开口,要个一万八千,决计不成问题,他是照办的。我今年十七岁,跟他十年也不算老,十年之闪,我能够弄他多少钱,我一辈子都是财神了。想到这里,洋楼,汽车,珠宝,如花似锦的陈设,成群结队的用人;都一幕一幕在眼面前过去。这些东西,并不是幻影,只要对刘将军说一声,我愿嫁你,一齐都来了。生在世上,这些适意的事情,多少人希望不到,为什么自己随便可以取得,倒不要呢?虽然是用了姓樊的这些钱, 然而以自己待姓樊的而论,未尝对他不住。退一步说的话,就算白用了他几个钱,我发了财,本息一并归算,也就对得住他了。这样掉背一想,觉得情理两合,于是汽车,洋房,珠宝,又一样一样的在眼前现了出来。凤喜只觉富贵逼人来,也不知道如何措置才好?仿佛自己已是贵夫人,就正忙着料理这些珠宝财产,却忘了在床上睡觉。Just when she was in such a state of fascination, a voice suddenly came through the air, waking her up from her dream, as if the family tree was smiling in front of her.To know what kind of sound it is, I will explain it next time.
