But Xiugu saw Jiashu and He Lina walking side by side in the park, and heard someone say that they were an unmarried couple; then she suddenly realized that no matter what, the love between a man and a woman is always based on appearance of.I have nothing to worry about, so why get involved in the whirlpool again.I was just thinking wildly for a while, it was too inexperienced.Thinking of this, I started laughing.Whether it's General Liu, Uncle Fan, or Miss Shen, I don't need to ask about any of them. I'd better go home and stay with my father.Having made up his mind, he walked out of the park and stopped hiring a car.When you leave the park, you will see the old stone slab imperial road outside Tiananmen Square. The green locust trees on both sides of the imperial road leave two cool and thick shades in the clear sunlight.So he walked slowly, step by step, walking under the shade.I just walked like this, but I came to a place not far from the General Aid Hospital. I thought that since I came here, why not go to see Fengxi by the way, and from now on, this poor child and I will never be together again. met.With that in mind, he turned around and walked towards the hospital.Just when he was about to enter the hospital, he saw the car that General Liu was sitting in was blocked at the gate.I was taken aback for a moment, and when I was about to turn around, General Liu opened the car door, smiled and waved again and again: "Didn't you come here once? Why don't you go see what she is doing, let's go home together!" He said As she got out of the car, she was about to come to support Xiugu. Xiugu thought, if she didn't go, she would be in a bad shape if she huddled on the street. Go, with my little ability, I am not afraid of him.So with a slight smile, he and General Liu got into the car together.

Arrived at Liu's house.General Liu let her go upstairs, shook her hand with a smile and said, "I'm afraid that person in the hospital is going to die. If you follow me, maybe I'll fix you up." After hearing this, Xiugu's blood boiled with excitement. , clustered to the face, as if the muscles in the body were trembling.General Liu saw that her face was flushed red, and said with a smile: "There are no outsiders here, why are you ashamed. Tell me, are you willing to do this?" Xiu Gu smiled and said: "Why don't I, I'm afraid that there will be no such people. It's a blessing." General Liu shook her hand and said with a smile, "You look honest, but you are also very good at talking. Our wedding is scheduled for the day after tomorrow. What do you think? You Did you tell your father about it?" Xiugu said, "Yes, he is very willing. He also said that after the happy event, he will come to see you, please give him an errand." General Liu clapped his hands He laughed and said: "Do you still have to talk about it? If you don't do it for the old man, who should you do it for? Tonight, no matter what, you have to eat with me. Let the people below see first. Lift it up, so as not to have a happy event the day after tomorrow, they said it came suddenly." Xiugu said: "You have a happy event on the left and a happy event on the right. What do you plan to do for this happy event?" General Liu heard that, He stretched out his hand and scratched his hair again, and said with a smile: "I feel a little embarrassed about this matter. Even when I grow up, I am very casual about the one I marry first. Marrying you will become more lively, and it is a bit unreasonable; If you are in a hurry, it seems that you can’t do it. If it’s casual, I’m afraid you won’t want it.” Xiu Gu said: “I don’t care about it, but people look down on me. I have a way, first, you can save trouble, and second Come here and I can avoid people looking down on me." General Liu said with a smile: "There is such a good idea, am I still not happy? Tell me, what should I do?" Xiugu said: "If you ask me to think of this idea , I can’t think of it either. I remembered that there was a man in the past, just to save trouble, that is, the bride and groom went to Xishan to wait together. After returning, they said that the wedding was over and they didn’t even invite guests. Good." General Liu took her hand, jumped up with a smile and said, "My little baby! If you are willing to do this, I will save a lot of trouble. I am also a quick-tempered person. If I want to do it, I can't wait to do it. It will be done right away. If it is a waste of money, it will be too late in two days. Now we only need to go up to the west mountain, so what is the trouble? There are cars, and we can do it anytime. Anyway, if we drive out of the city, we don’t need to come back. Let's go, do you think it's okay?" Xiu Gu smiled and said, "Didn't you say that you won't be busy for a day or two?" General Liu shrugged his shoulders, then turned his head to look at Xiu Gu's face , smiled and said: "I don't know what's going on, but the more I look at you, the more I love you, I can't wait to..." As he spoke, he just smiled.Xiu Gu said: "Today is too late. Tomorrow!" General Liu said with a smile: "Come on! My new wife! It's today. What do you want? Just tell me. I'll ask someone to do it, do it." Here we come, let's go out of the city together." When she said that, she grabbed Xiu Gu's hand again, and Xiu Gu smiled and said, "Marriage matters, you are so anxious." General Liu smiled and said, "You don't know, I I miss you as soon as I see you. I have waited enough until today. If the wedding day is delayed by one day, I am in a hurry; otherwise, we live in the same yard, and I am upstairs and you are downstairs, which is also inconvenient Shouldn't it be?" As she spoke, she raised her shoulders again, Xiugu twitched her eyebrows, looked at General Liu, bit her lower lip with her teeth, and nodded to him.Between Xiugu's nods, she seemed to snort slightly.But General Liu didn't hear it, he smiled and said, "How about it, did you agree?" Xiu Gu smiled and said, "Well, even today, why don't you, I'll give you a good time too." They all trembled, raised their hands to Xiu Gu and said, "Thank you for agreeing, what do you want? I'll be ready." Xiu Gu said, "Unless you want something yourself, I don't want anything. In addition, I have one more thing to ask you. Please send four guards and a car to take me home and say goodbye to my father. If you have some pocket money in cash, give me some so that I can give it to my father. Have a wedding, please invite relatives and friends, and he will support me." General Liu said: "Success! This is a small matter, and I should have given a dowry gift. I am afraid that there is not much cash at home. I remember more than two thousand You can take it all. Anyway, whatever your father wants, I will do it for him.” Xiu Gu pinched her fingers and calculated, and said with a smile: “It can’t be much. If the poor family has too much money, then Just give me 1,400 yuan." General Liu said: "What kind of calculation is this?" Xiu Gu said: "You don't have to ask, after a while, you may understand After finishing speaking, Ge Ge laughed so hard that she bent her waist.General Liu also said with a smile: "This kid is naughty and played a charade. I didn't guess it, so I just laughed like this. Well, I will do it." So he took out 1,200 yuan bills from the box, and cashed in 200 yuan. Yang Lai handed it to Xiu Gu and said, "I know your father must like to see foreign money that is wasted in vain, so find more cash for him." I haven't said anything yet." General Liu laughed and said, "I'm just a worm in your petty eyes. Is there anything I can't figure out about your thoughts?" After hearing this, Aunt Xiu was really amused. Laughing, laughing so much that he fell on the table.General Liu patted her on the shoulder and said, "Don't be naughty! The car is already ready, go back quickly. I'm still waiting for you to come back out of the city." Xiu Gu looked up at the clock on the wall, it was past four o'clock, really Not daring to delay, I went out immediately and took the car home.On both sides of the car, two guards stood on each side, surrounded by a wind and rain. Xiugu saw it, and she was very proud, and she just smiled.

After a while, the car arrived at the door of the house.It happened that Guan Shoufeng was looking forward to it at the door; Xiugu got out of the car, took her father's hand into the house, and said with a smile: "It's okay! You're at home, otherwise I have to go find my senior brother, and it will be troublesome." Saying that, Put a large towel bag in your hand on the table.Shoufeng looked at it, he was baffled at first, then after Xiugu explained it in detail, he stroked his beard and nodded and said: "Your way is right, I'm a little tired of teaching the style, let's use General Liu to find a way out The day is fine. Don’t keep people waiting, just go.” With a smile on her face, Xiugu walked out of the house and said goodbye to the three neighbors in the same courtyard, saying that she already had a place of birth and would not come back. Goodbye, everyone.The neighbors were very surprised to see that she hadn't come back for several days, and now she came back in a car with soldiers to say goodbye, but they knew that his father and son had a temper, and they didn't like being asked about their work, so they didn't want to ask, just guessed. Xiugu must be involved in marriage issues.When Xiugu went out, everyone was going to send them to the car, but Shoufeng stopped him in the courtyard, saying: "There are soldiers there, you can't afford to meet them."Shoufeng heard the whining of the car, and had gone far away. Then he cupped his hands to the neighbors and said, "We have been together for a long time, and I have something to ask you all. I don't know if you will?" The neighbors said as long as Can do it, always help.Shoufeng said: "My eldest girl, now that she has a family, she will leave Beijing tonight. I am a bit reluctant and want to give her a gift, but I have a new money around me. I'm afraid it's not safe to put it at home. I don't know if it's okay to share it with three families." Everyone heard that it was just such a trivial matter, and they all agreed.Shoufeng then divided the 1,200 yuan bills into 400 yuan and three shares, wrapped them in cloth, put the 200 yuan cash in a belt, tied the belt around his waist, and wrapped the three pieces of cloth together. One of the neighbors kept a bag, and said to them: "If I don't come back at two o'clock in the evening, please open this cloth bag and have a look, but if I come back before two o'clock, I have to ask everyone , return the original package to me." After finishing speaking, without waiting for the neighbors to speak again, he cupped his hands and left immediately.Walking to the street, in a well-known shop, I made a phone call to Jiashu.It happened that Jiashu was going home, and when he made the phone call, Shoufeng said, "I have a few important words, I'll talk to you face to face, and I'll be waiting for you in a happy meeting restaurant in Sipailou. Don't be hungry." Come on, let's have a big drink." Jiashu thought, it must be Xiu Gu who went back and said what he said in the park, this old man is an impatient person, he will do it as soon as he hears it, so he asked me to go for an interview.This is the old man's dedication, which cannot be let down.He promised to come right away.

When we arrived at the fourth archway, there was indeed a small tavern with a signboard saying Happy Meeting, and Shoufeng leaned his hands on the railing of the building's entrance, looking around at people, and saw the family tree yelling, "Here, here." Jiashu walked upstairs from the restaurant, and saw that on a table near the entrance of the building, the food and drink had already been set up, but there were two sets of cups and chopsticks, clearly Shoufeng was waiting for the table.Shoufeng asked Jiashu to sit opposite him, and asked, "Brother! Have you brought any money?" Shoufeng shook his hands again and again and said: "No, no, I made a small fortune today, so I don't need to borrow money. I asked you if you have any money, but I mean you should buy the wine for today's meal." Jiashu laughed Said: "Naturally." Shoufeng said: "Your words are a bit inappropriate. Could it be that your hands are wider than mine, or you are younger than me, so you should invite me? I didn't say that, I told you honestly. You, after today's dinner, we are about to break up. We have been good friends for several months, shouldn't you give me a farewell farewell?" Jiashu was surprised when he heard this, and asked "Where is the uncle going suddenly? Where is the eldest girl?" Shoufeng said: "We didn't settle down somewhere. Today we can go to wherever we like. Tomorrow we are tired of staying, and we can move to another place." I don't have any worries, and I can't talk about whether it is sudden or not. My family is father and son, so naturally we will not be separated." Jiashu said: "Uncle is a heroic figure in the world, and I dare not ask more, but I don't know when Uncle Let's go, do we still have a day to meet?" Shoufeng said: "I'll leave after drinking. As for whether we will meet again in the future, that's hard to say. For example, when we made friends at Tianqiao, how could we have expected it?" As he was talking, he picked up the jug, first poured a cup into the family tree's cup, then poured another cup for himself, raised the cup, and compared it to the family tree.He laughed and said, "Old brother! Let's have a drink first, don't talk about those gossips." So the two drank a glass together and took another glass. !" So he took the jug and poured wine for Guan Shoufeng, and Shoufeng drank it as soon as it arrived, without hesitation.After a while, Yuemo drank more than a catty of wine, Shoufeng put his hand on the cup, stood up, said with a smile: "I have enough wine, I have to hurry, I still have two words to say to you." The tree said: "You can say whatever you want. As long as it is something I can do, I will do it." Shoufeng said: "There is one thing that you probably don't know yet. There is a person who is tired because of you." So they told him everything about Feng Xi being beaten to death and sleeping in the hospital.He added: "According to our child, she fell asleep in a daze and said I'm sorry. This child can only be said to be young and ignorant. You can't say that she is ungrateful. You'd better think of something for her. "Jiashu was silent for a while, because he said: "Even though I don't care about her shortcomings, but I am a student, how can I compete with a powerful warlord? Isn't she in his palm now?" Shoufeng raised his head and smiled. : "Can a powerful person grab what he loves? That's not necessarily true. The overlord of Chu is victorious in every battle, and he can't keep a concubine Yu! If you catch her in the palm of your hand, if you have a chance in the future, don't hold grudges." Jiashu said: "Sure enough, she changed her mind and had another chance, so I would naturally be willing to lead her on the right path again, but my heart , made her very sad. There is really no one I trust so much now, but she is not." Shoufeng laughed and said, "I heard our child say that you also know a Miss He who looks like a girl from the Shen family. Almost. But these days, it’s even more difficult for the eldest lady to deal with it. Again, which one you believe in is up to you, and no one else needs to talk too much about it. It’s just that this child may soon need someone Take care of her. If you have a chance, just take care of her. It's getting late, I have to go out of the city, I want to eat." So he called the waiter to fetch the meal, poured vegetable soup into the rice bowl, He ate a few bowls of rice in one go, put down the bowls and chopsticks, stood up and said, "We will meet later." The clerk gave him a towel, and he wiped it, and then left. The family tree never asked him where he was going, and for the sake of Why are you leaving?Staring blankly at him going downstairs, when he turned around and looked at the window, he saw that he was carrying a small bundle on his shoulders, and he had already walked to the middle of the street. He turned around and saw the family tree, nodded and smiled, and opened the car by himself. stride away.

Jiashu thought, this is too strange.Although this old man is a hero, he also loves his sons and daughters. Last time he took Xiugu to send me to Fengtai, didn't he feel very attached?Why did he bid farewell this time, with extreme resoluteness? Seeing that he was calm on the surface, it seemed that he had something urgent to do in his heart, so he left suddenly.He was originally a person in the green forest more than ten years ago, so it is hard to guarantee that he will not bring up the old case again; and these two days, Xiugu pretended to be a servant and sneaked into Liu's house.Hesitating like this in my heart, I leaned on the railing and watched for a while, then settled the wine and meal bills, and went home by myself.When we got home, there was a foreign-style envelope on the table, with words written in rose-purple ink, and it was clearly He Lina's handwriting.Pick it up casually and take it apart, and it reads: "Jiashu, Qunying Theater will play the whole version of "Nengren Temple" tonight, and there will be another "Team of Judgment and Thorn"; they are two very good plays. A room number three, please give it your all. Your good friend Lina." Jiashu felt very bored at first, so he wanted to use this as a way to amuse himself.

After dinner, he came to the box in the theatre, and indeed He Lina was alone.Seeing that the family tree had arrived, she quickly picked up the cloak on the chair next to her, which meant to let him sit down, and he naturally sat down.After watching "Examination of the Head and Stabbing Soup", it was followed by "Nengren Temple".Jiashu watched the show and kept nodding. He Lina smiled and said, "Didn't you say you don't understand theatre? Why did you watch it so interesting tonight?" The identity of the woman in this play." He Lina said: "This "Nengren Temple" and "Judging the Head and Stabbing Soup" are in one place, which is very interesting. If that Xueyan has the ability of this thirteenth sister, how can she I don’t want to sacrifice my life for revenge!” Jiashu said: “Nothing in the world can be perfect. This thirteenth sister, in the scene of "Nengren Temple", is really alive and kicking, but it’s a pity that the author forced her to marry Anlong Media In the end, she became a second grandmother." He Lina said: "Actually, there is no one like Shisanmei in the world. Chinese people say martial arts, and they will always flow into mythology. I watched it here two days ago, and that Hongxian is simply a flying fairy, which is a bit of an exaggeration." Jiashu said: "Of course, no matter what, when it comes to the pen of a literati, or on the stage of an actor, it must be dyed. If it is chivalrous , it’s not that there are none.” He Lina said: “It’s better to see everything than to hear it a hundred times. No matter how magical people say, you have to see it before you can believe it. You said there are swordsmen, have you seen them?” Jiashu said: “Sword fairy or I have never seen it. If you talk about a chivalrous warrior, of course I have seen it. Not only I have seen it, maybe you have seen it, because this kind of person will never show her true colors. When you meet her, she is just like an ordinary person. How would you know." He Lina said: "Your words are too unsubstantiated. I have seen it, but I don't know it. Does it mean that I haven't seen it!" Jiashu said with a smile: "Listen to the show, don't argue." At this time, the thirteenth younger sister on the stage was holding a knife and making matchmaking with Mr. An Zhang Jinfeng, and Jiashu was just fascinated by seeing it.He waited until the play was over, but he let out a sigh.He Lina smiled and said: "Why are you sighing?" Jiashu said: "Miss He is a bit stupid." He Lina blushed and said with a smile: "Why am I stupid?" Jiashu said: "I'm not talking about you, I It means that Miss He Yufeng, the thirteenth sister on the stage, is a bit stupid. I am a wild crane, and I want to be a matchmaker for others, but in the end, I was involved in the whirlpool, isn't it stupid?" He Lina herself misunderstood, so she didn't Excuse me, let's go out together.At the door, he smiled and said to Jiashu: "I'm afraid I will make my cousin a joke, so I can only send you the car to the entrance of the alley." Jiashu said: "No need, I will hire a car to go back by myself." So he said goodbye to her , since going home.

When I got home and looked at my watch, it was already one o'clock, so I immediately undressed and went to bed.It's good to think that life is like a dream in bed; in the past one o'clock, amidst the sound of gongs and drums, it was so lively to see the thirteen sisters killing the monks of Heifenggang Qiangliang;There really was a Nengren Temple back then, but it was nothing more than that, and it passed in a flash.But life is covered by the seven emotions, who can see through it?Guan's father and daughter say they can see through everything, but in fact, people like him who love to fight against injustices can't see through anything.Today's farewell, I don't know what his father and daughter are doing?At this time, is it also resting?Although Xiugu's attitude is not like that of Thirteenth Sister, her enthusiasm is better than that of Thirteenth Sister's treatment of Mrs. Zhang.I was so cranky, I never slept well all night.I woke up very late the next day, and in the afternoon it was time for the universities I applied for to release their rankings, so I went to look at the rankings.Fortunately, I worked hard in the exam, and I was a regular student in the college entrance examination.A few friends knew about it, and said that his big problem had been solved, so they went to watch a movie and eat out.Jiashu also felt that there was a worry in his heart, and he should be happy for a while, so he followed everyone's quarrel and let go of the matter of the Shen family for a while.

Another day later, after waking up early in the morning, firstly, I had nothing on my mind, and secondly, I didn’t have to rush to prepare homework. I remembered that He Lina had invited me to the theater many times, and I was fine now. Let’s see what good show is going on today. I should return the invitation She'll do it right away.Thinking of this, he took two daily newspapers and reclined on the sofa to read them.When I flipped through it by chance, a big title with a line of special characters caught my eye.It was: "General Liu Dezhu was assassinated in Xishan the night before." Then there were three subtitles with the first word: "The murderer is a young girl who left a message on the wall and disappeared; the case is complicated and the background is unknown." Jiashu looked at it. These few lines of big characters made my heart skip a beat.In a hurry, I read the news first; after reading it, I read it again carefully; after reading it carefully, I carefully considered the words and sentences paragraph by paragraph.His heart was ups and downs, like a violent storm, with periods of tension and decline, but he was lying on the sofa without moving a single centimeter.The place where the neck was leaning against the back of the sofa was wet, and I felt that the small clothes on the upper body were already tightly adhered to the back.It turned out that the news contained:

Liu Dezhu, the younger brother of Liu Xunxuan, is a general of Dulwich. He is currently the supervisor of the five provinces' expropriation and is also the director of the office in Beijing. He is an important political figure.Recently, Liu Xin married a wife and wanted to find a smart maid to serve her. The helper agency then introduced a young girl to see her. When Liu and his wife saw it, they were satisfied and accepted it immediately.The girl claimed to be surnamed Wu, her father was a farmer, and her mother worked as a helper in Zhang Zongzhang's house. Because of her family's poverty, Liu felt it was normal and did not investigate further.But there is something suspicious here, that is, after the girl went to work, the helper who introduced her did not go to Liu's house to ask the girl for her commission fee, and the girl also came to pick up the bedding from home, let alone the so-called Chief Zhang.The woman worked as a domestic helper for a few days, and she was very pleased with the owner. Mrs. Shixin contracted an emergency and was admitted to the hospital for treatment. The woman often went in and out of the upper room alone.Three days ago, Liu Hu threatened to accept the girl as a little star, and the girl was also happy, and she was full of color. Because the two parties did not want to disturb relatives and friends with happy events, at 5 o'clock in the afternoon the day before yesterday, they went to the Badachu of Xishan with two entourages. , to spend this happy period.After arriving in Xishan, Liu wanted to stay at the Xishan Hotel. Women were not allowed, so he took two carriages in a small sedan chair with his entourage, and went to the Kek Le Temple on the mountain to stay.There are fixed clean bedrooms in the temple to prepare for Chinese and Western tourists to live there.The monks in the temple heard that General Liu was coming and entertained them hospitablely. They sent people to Xishan Hotel to borrow bedding, and went up the mountain with wine and food.In the evening, Liu Mingseng lit two red candles, drank with his daughter, talked and laughed happily.When he was drunk, the woman would help him to sleep, and the monk would guide him with a pair of candlesticks.Don't go, the monk, for fear that someone will disturb the dream, and reverse the gate of the courtyard instead.On the next day, when I went up to the top of the mountain and the general couldn't get up, the monk didn't dare to call, just waited.From morning to noon, from noon to the west, the sleeper still couldn't get up, the monk thought it strange, and pretended to be loudly startled in the courtyard, because there was no one in the room, and he called and opened the door to enter, and he saw Liu. Lie high on the bed, but the girl is gone.The monk still thinks that Liu is fast asleep, and the woman may be a little girl, shrinking her body and trying to retreat, and when she looks up, she sees bloodstains on the white powder wall, blurred into words.Word cloud: "(abbreviated above) Now he raped the woman again and again, and forced him to me. I lied to the thief and went to the mountain, strangled and killed him, thinking that the country and society would eliminate a great harm. I cut off the thief's arm and bleed. On the wall, it shows that I do what I want and have nothing to do with others. The Republic of China × Year × Month × Day and Night at twelve o’clock, Ms. Buping.” The writing is proficient, because it is a woman’s tone.The monk was horrified, and immediately saw that the person on the bed was lying stiff and lifeless.Immediately, he flew down the mountain to call the police, while calling the city, and separated to arrest the murderer.The military and police agencies, considering the seriousness of the case, promptly searched for clues in secret.Because the guards of Liu's house said: "My daughter went home once before leaving the city. When I went to her house to search, there was only one empty house left, and the neighbors also moved out early in the morning. I asked the neighbors on the street. There were two grandparents named Guan in this household. The non-surname is also Wu.Guan makes his career as a coach, and he is still peaceful. Why he made his daughter do this is unknown.And arresting a servant from the agency, the shop owner said that this woman was not the person introduced there, and the girlfriend (commonly known as the runway) who introduced the woman into Liu's house said that the woman met next to Liu's house, and he offered two yuan Sports, please introduce Liu's house, and look for relatives.Unexpectedly, Liu actually accepted it, which caused this disaster.He has no way of answering the real whereabouts of the old daughter.From this point of view, the assassination of the Liu family by Guan's father and daughter was actually pre-arranged.The current military and police agencies are continuing to investigate the murderer, and the details are not released.But according to the cloud, there are clues to be found, or it may not be difficult to find out.

That's all for the first part of the news, but the latter part of the news, it seems that those who have a little contact with the Guan family may be arrested and interrogated.Although I know very little about my relationship with the Guan family and his daughter, it is not absolutely unknown.If you act on the street and let the detectives catch you, it’s a minor matter for you to go to jail, firstly, it will hurt your cousin, and secondly, it will hurt your mother in the south, why don’t you hide for a while, and wait until the matter is settled before going to class.Having made up his mind, he pretended to be very calm and walked slowly to the north room.Bo Hezheng also took a newspaper, read it on the sofa, put down the newspaper and said to Jiashu: "Have you read the newspaper? There has been an assassination case." Jiashu smiled lightly and said, "I see, it's not enough. Strange." Bo He said: "Isn't it surprising? My child, this incident must have a political background." He raised his head and thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "This is a chess piece to play." It’s poisonous! It’s a pity that the means are a bit despicable, it’s a beauty trick.” Jiashu said: “It doesn’t look like he has a political background.” Bohe said: “You haven’t entered the official career yet, how do you know the ingenuity of intrigue in the official career. This A woman, I know, was bought from Mount Emei, and the reward is always more than 100,000." Bo He said happily, lit a cigar and smoked, and recited the recent general situation by heart.Jiashu held a book in his hand and just smiled.Waiting for him to finish speaking, he said: "I want to go to Tianjin to see my uncle today, and come back when the school starts. I should have gone a long time ago, but because I didn't publish the results, and I didn't recover from a minor illness, so I delayed." Mrs. Tao laughed in the room and said: "I also agree with you to go. I talked with my second aunt on the phone the day before yesterday and I mentioned you. I just left today if I am not busy." Jiashu laughed and said: "I am in Beijing again. I'm fine, I'm just waiting for school to start, and I'm impatient, and I want to do whatever I want to do." Mrs. Tao said, "It's okay to leave today, you can take the 4:30 bus and go Take it easy." Jiashu said: "Is there no car before four o'clock?" Mrs. Tao said: "Why are you in such a hurry? There is a bus at two o'clock, and it is a slow train. When you take that car, you need to be even more urgent. It's broken." The uncle of the family tree and his wife were suspicious, and it was inconvenient to say anything, so they went back to the room to tidy up the odds and ends.I don't know why, although I was very calm on the surface, but in my heart, I was extremely flustered.

After lunch, he paced up and down the corridor, checking his watch from time to time to see if it was three o'clock.After walking back and forth a few times, because the servants were watching, and afraid that they would see through, he went back into the room and lay down on the bed.After finally staying up until three o'clock, I resigned from Mrs. Tao and went to the station.I have been waiting to sit in the second-class car, and my heart is a little more secure.But when they heard a commotion on the platform, several patrolmen and a group of people rushed back.I only heard saying: "I've got two more, I've got two more." Hearing this, Jiashu's heart almost jumped from his chest to his mouth, and he quickly put it in his bag. He took out a book, put on a natural look, and looked slightly sideways.In my ear, I heard the person in the same car say: I caught the pickpocketer.Jiashu felt that he had misunderstood again, and his body was in a cold sweat. He had no other hope in his heart now, only looking forward to the early departure of the train.After a while, the wheels were rolling, and in a happy time of relief, I went out of the east gate, and only then did I have time to appreciate the scenery outside the train window.I thought to myself: life’s blessings and misfortunes are really uncertain; unexpectedly, I will suddenly go to Tianjin today; when the old man Shoufeng said goodbye to me the day before yesterday, why didn’t he get any information about me, so as to save me from this false alarm today.Then I turned around and thought about it, I was a little overwhelmed at first, in the past few months, I have only been to Guan's house four or five times; who doesn't have friends in society?If a friend commits a crime, not everyone will be suspected; let alone my relationship with Guan Shoufeng is not enough to attract people's attention.As for my relationship with Liu Dezhu, no one knows about it except the Guan father and daughter.Unless it's Fengxi, she knows that Xiugu went for me; but if she wants to tell me, she can't get rid of it herself.From this point of view, it would be too timid to run by myself.Shoufeng repeatedly mentioned Fengxi, saying that I had the opportunity to get back together with her, so maybe Fengxi also participated in keeping this secret.But in fact it couldn't, Feng Xi became a lunatic in the hospital, and her mother and uncle were extremely miserable, so how could they discuss such an important issue.Just thinking about it on the train alone, I arrived in Tianjin unknowingly.His uncle, Fan Duanben, had a house in the French Concession. After getting off the train, he hired a rickshaw and came to his uncle's house.His place is a western-style building facing the road, with an iron gate on the outside, a small courtyard with flowers and trees when entering, and a red brick building with the character "Pin" standing tall.Walking into the iron gate, a servant came out of the small porter, quickly picked up the suitcase and said: "We are going to pick up the call from Beijing, and we are going to pick up the nephew and young master; you fell down." The family tree said: "The master is at home Is it?" Answer: "I went to Hebei. I heard that there are entertainments." Ask: "Where are the two ladies?" Answer: "Went to watch a movie." Ask: "Where is the wife?" When it comes to this, just listen to There was a clattering sound coming from the windows of the building, and the servant replied: "Madam is playing cards." Asked: "Where is the aunt?" Answer: "There is the wife of the Zhang family, and the young lady of the Li family invited Zhongyuan Company to buy things and take a play. Let's go, you can rest and rest." As he spoke, he carried his suitcase and went upstairs.Jiashu said: "Who are the people playing cards?" The servant said: "It's a few wives from the same country. They are the car club, this one today, that one tomorrow, and they just played." Jiashu said: "Since they just played , you don’t need to notify, I’ll wait downstairs for the master’s return.” So he went downstairs again, and read books and newspapers in Duanben’s study, waiting for them to come back.The two younger sisters, Shuyi and Jingyi, were the first to come back; Shuyi is seventeen years old now, and Jingyi is fourteen years old, both very lively little girls.When Jingyi heard that Jiashu was coming, she yelled in the yard, "Brother is here, where is he? Why didn't you give us a letter earlier?" When Jiashu came out to look, she saw Jingyi wearing a green dress She was in a short suit, her knees were up and down, and her white legs were exposed. She danced with her leather shoes and said loudly, "Brother! Congratulations! You are so happy!" When she was talking, the red knot flowers on her unkempt hair, Jumping and blinking, it is very happy to see her.The family tree is inexplicable, where does the joy come from, this question is another unexpected change!Want to know what changes?Explain next time.
