Jin Yanxi laughed for a while, walked back to the study, found a hat, put it on, and walked out the door.His place is called Laique Lane, and Luohua Hutong is not too far away.He didn't take any car, took the tour away, and walked there by himself.Jin Rong had already told him that Leng's family lived in Xitou, but he made a big detour and entered from Dongtou.He walked next to each other, counted the steps, and walked slowly, paying more attention as he got to the west end.An alley is almost finished. On the south side of the road, isn't there a small black house with the number plate of a cold house nailed to it?Yanxi thought, it must be here.But the doors are closed tightly, and there is nothing to be found except the famous cold house sign at the door.After hesitating for a while, he had no choice but to walk over.After walking through this Luohua Hutong, there is a small street.He saw a small tobacco shop around the corner, so he bought a pack of cigarettes there.After buying cigarettes, he turned around and walked back from the west end, but looking at the small black door, it was still closed.I thought to myself: Come and go, I always look at these two black doors, what's the point?At this time, on the open ground outside the black door, there were four or five teenage children playing money there, making a lot of noise and huddled together.Jin Yanxi took advantage of the opportunity to do business, took the cane with her hands behind her back, and stood aside, watching them making noise.But from time to time, he turned his head and peeked at the door.After standing there for about an hour, I suddenly heard a bell ringing at the door.Already open.At this time, there was a very sharp Beijing accent calling the flower seller.Jin Yanxi couldn't help but think, isn't this the same person?He was also afraid of turning around suddenly, which was a little abrupt.But deliberately intending to leave, turned around, and slowly looked sideways.When I saw it, I couldn't help laughing, it turned out to be an old woman who combed her hair, and was always around forty years old.But since I turned around to leave, if I stopped suddenly, I was afraid that people would be suspicious, so I let go of my steps and walked towards the east end of the alley.

As soon as I walked past the front of three or five families, I saw a female student in a blue dress and black skirt coming from the opposite side, smiling at this side, this person was the one I met in Haidian.Seeing her smile, Yanxi couldn't help but her heart skipped a beat.I thought, does she recognize me?He raised his hand, supported the brim of his hat, and was about to greet her briefly and smile back at her.But she approached slowly, looked at her gaze, and looked forward, clearly not smiling at herself.Then I heard someone shouting from behind: "Miss, it's too late to come back today." The female student nodded and smiled again.Eight-tenths of Yanxi's smile showed on his face.At this time, his face became hot, and he immediately put away all his smiles. The closer he got, he felt a little embarrassed to see him face to face, so he lowered his head slightly and walked a few steps.As soon as I looked up, I saw a blue-clothed figure on the right hand side, followed by a slight fragrance of makeup and powder, and it turned out that he had already passed by.When I was about to look back, I was a little embarrassed, and during this period of hesitation, I passed two more houses.In just a moment, he suddenly stopped, holding on to his collar, as if thinking of some problem, he immediately turned around, pretending to be in a hurry to turn around.When he walked to the door, he saw that person walking in the door, with a slim back and a fleeting glance.Yanxi walked a few steps slowly, not without nostalgia.But it happened that those children who were handing out money laughed, and Yanxi thought: Are they laughing at me?Immediately puffed up his chest and walked over.Walking out of Luohua Hutong, Jin Yanxi paused for a while, thinking: This is what I saw with my own eyes, and it is completely confirmed that she lives here.But if it is confirmed, it is confirmed, so what can I do?Isn't it a little dazed for me to watch others?So I went back home and sat in the study alone thinking, how could that man smile at the entrance of the alley, how could he know that it wasn’t for me?It was a pity that I was too honest, so I just smiled back at her, what's the point?I have such a serious face, won't she say that I am too ignorant?If you say I don't know the fun, that's fine. If you say I'm pretending to be serious, then I'll let others down.Thinking like this, he seemed to have a round face with a pair of bright eyes, a slight blush appeared on his cheeks, and two faint dimples appeared on the blush.Thinking of this, Yanxi's eyes drooped slightly, and she couldn't help smiling.At this moment, someone suddenly said: "Qiye, did you believe my words? Did you not wrong you?" Yanxi raised her eyes and saw Jin Rong standing beside her, also smiling.Yanxi said: "What do you believe?" Jin Rong said: "You still keep it from me, otherwise, didn't you go out today? This time, no one followed, you must have gone to Luohua Hutong .According to my guess, I must have seen that lady? Otherwise, why did I want to laugh just now?" Jin Yanxi said: "Nonsense, can't I still not laugh? That's why I smile." Jin Rong said: "I saw you once When I came back, I felt like something was on my mind, and now I laughed again, I think it must have something to do with it." Yanxi said: "You can guess what's on my mind, that's good." Jin Rong said with a smile: " Can't guess? Come on, don't mention it in the future." Yanxi smiled and said: "Your words are correct, and we don't know her, so what's the use of knowing her name and address?" Jin Rong He smiled and said: "It's not busy anyway, you go there once a day, maybe you will gradually get to know each other. Two days ago, you also mentioned a story. It wasn't that a male student met a female student on the road every day. Have you become friends?" Yanxi said: "That's something in a novel. It's a lie, how can it be true? Besides, they meet every day, it's out of no intention. If I go out every day because of this What does that mean?" Jin Rong laughed and said, "It's a pity that we don't have any acquaintances in front of or behind the house. If there are acquaintances, maybe through her neighbor's introduction, we can gradually get to know each other." Jin Rong It was an unintentional remark, but it reminded him out of thin air. He slapped the table with his hand and said, "I have a solution!" Jin Rong stood aside, and was startled when he heard the table slap suddenly.Said: "Although we can do it that way, we don't have any acquaintances in that alley." Jin Yanxi ignored him, took out a box of cigars in the drawer, took one, struck a match, and lit the fire stand up.Lying crookedly on a big velvet sofa, with his right leg resting on his left, he couldn't stop laughing.Jin Rong didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in his gourd, and he didn't dare to ask him, so he left quietly.He lay on the chair, thought for a while, and felt that the plan was very good.However, this sum of money should be planned in advance.

This Sunday, their fun party must be a gamble, why don't I step in, if I win, I will have to spend it.Thinking about it this way, I think it's the right way.At that time, I rested in the study for a while, but I couldn't hold back, and I wanted to walk out again.So he put on his hat and walked out again.Walking to the gate, I saw more than a dozen cars parked on both sides of the whitewashed wall, so I asked the concierge, "Who are these people here again, are they here for a meeting?" The concierge said, "No. Today is my wife's treat. Don't Qi Ye know?" Yanxi said: "Has Grandma Liu come?" The concierge said: "Here, the two foreign ladies from the Wu family are also here." Yanxi heard that she wanted to go with Grandma Liu Talk, immediately turn around and walk in.Walking to the heavy door, I thought again, maybe she can't get away at this time, I'd better go do my own thing.Thinking this way, he ran outside again.At this time, it was already late, and the electric lights on the street were already bright.Because I was walking on the road, I didn't take a car or ride a horse, and I was very embarrassed to meet acquaintances, so I just walked around in the alleys.I walked into a small alley, which was less than a foot wide, with no sky above, and no road at either end.Moreover, in secluded places, there are no electric lights, but a wire is stretched across the wall of the house, and some glass lampshades are hung on the wire.Inside the lampshade, there is a small kerosene lamp inside the glass shade, which emits a light yellow light, and some people can be seen dimly.The houses on both sides of the alley are short, and you can touch the eaves of others with your hands.Seeing the ridges of other people's houses, which are so dark, I was already a little scared.I panicked in my heart, didn't dare to raise my head, kicked high, kicked low, and bumped forward.He was flustered because he couldn't get out of the alley.I just felt a big black thing squatting in front of me. When I looked up, it turned out to be a blocked earth wall.After seeing it clearly, I felt more comforted in my heart.However, a fluffy black shadow appeared on the wall again, and two black lights shot out from it. I couldn't help being terrified, and a burst of hot sweat came out, and my heart was about to jump into my mouth.At this time, it’s not right to move forward, or to stop, because I don’t know what to do.At this moment, the fluffy shadow suddenly jumped up and let out a cry.Only then did Jin Yanxi realize that it was a cat.Patting himself on his chest, he took out a handkerchief from his trousers pocket and wiped the sweat from his head.He walked forward quickly, and finally walked out of the alley, connected to the downstairs of the door, and a big lion and wild dog came out.Stretching his head up, he rushed over, startling him again.At this time, when I looked up, the front of me suddenly opened up, but it was an open space.Because the alley just now was small, it was like watching the sky from a well.At this time, when I came out, the ground was snow-white and full of moonlight.Looking up, a full moon is already approaching.The surrounding people were silent under the moonlight.Only the peddler who sells things can still be heard yelling from a distance.Yanxi had never seen such a situation before.I thought, there is such a calm place in this city.Under the watery moonlight, we walked around this open area and found a policeman, only to find out that it was the west end of Luohua Hutong.Remember the house number, after only passing a few houses, it is Leng's house.Yanxi stood at the door of the house for a while, looking at the shadow of a tree behind the house, in the hazy moonlight, it was exactly as she had expected.Unconsciously, I smiled alone, thinking: My plan must be half successful.When he got to the gate, suddenly a stone tripped his foot and almost fell.When I looked down, it turned out to be a boundary stone with some words written on it, but I didn't pay attention to it.But I thought: During the day, when that man was standing here, talking to that old woman, he seemed to be holding something in his hand, wasn't it just a boundary stone?From this, I thought again: Her plain clothes and sarong, her elegant and pleasant appearance, are by no means comparable to the people in the makeup team I have seen before.The place where I am standing now is exactly where others are standing here during the day.How interesting it would be to stand side by side with her under the moon and talk about love!Thinking of this, I simply don't know where I am.He stayed there for a long time, until a rickshaw approached, jingling and ringing foot bells all the way, and then woke him up.As the car passed by, he took advantage of the fact that there was no one in the alley, and carefully looked at the bush next to the house, and saw that the branches of the tree stretched straight to the east of the house.The east side seems to be a courtyard, an earthen wall next to the gate.Probably behind this yard.This survey made him more and more feel that it was in line with his plan, so he was very happy. He hired a car out of the alley and drove straight back.When I arrived at home, I saw the lights from the gate leading to the inner room, under the corridor, and under the hall. I knew that the female guests had not left.Then he walked inside slowly, looking in through a marble screen.When I looked inside, it was his mother and sister-in-law Peifang entertaining guests there.There is a large dining table in the middle, with fresh red and light emerald dishes in vases on it, which are decorated with colorful flowers.Those who sit in separate seats are all acquaintances.Especially the two women in suits, with their four snow-white arms protruding from their ribs, they were particularly plump.Yanxi thought: The concierge said it was a foreign lady, but I thought it was Miss Ruth and Miss Mary, but it turned out to be two sisters from the Wu family.It was interesting to watch, only to hear footsteps behind.When I looked back, it was the cook in the western food kitchen, holding a tray and delivering the food.Yanxi quickly waved to him, telling him to stop; while pulling out the diary from her body, tore off half a page, wrote a few lines with a fountain pen, and handed it to the cook: "The second person in a suit at the table Miss, do you know him?" The cook said, "That's the second miss of the Wu family." Yanxi smiled and said, "That's right. When you serve the dishes, try to show this note to her." The cook said, "Seventh Master , That's not a joke, make..." Yanxi fumbled in her pocket, took out a roll of banknotes, took a one-yuan bill, and stuffed it into the cook's hand.Smiling softly, he scolded: "Fuck you, don't you know how to think of something?" The cook squatted down with the tray in his hand, counting it as a greeting, and went away with a smile.Yanxi was still looking around the screen, seeing that the cook did not go to Miss Wu'er after serving the food.I hated in my heart: This stupid thing is really useless.After a while the cook came out, Yanxi went all the way to the porch, and asked, "Does this count as your job?" The cook smiled and said, "Qi Ye, don't be so busy, I can do it for you anyway." Yanxi said : "How to do it? Tell me." The cook looked back, but there was no one, and then said softly to Yanxi.He smiled and asked: "Qi Ye, so

At this time, everyone has already dispersed, and everyone talks casually.Miss Wu Er led Qiu Xizhen to visit Yanxi.Yanxi had already changed into long clothes, put on a small waistcoat, and had her hair neatly cut.He heard the rattling sound of high-heeled leather shoes outside the window, and knew that Miss Wu Er had come.But there were laughter from two people on one side, it seemed that they were not alone.I thought to myself, are the two sisters here?Immediately, someone outside the door shouted: "Seventh Master." Yanxi hurriedly said: "Ah, Misiwu, please come in." The door curtain moved, Miss Wuer came in, followed by a girl of eighteen or nineteen years old, As early as with a smile on his face, he bowed from a distance.Yanxi recognized her as Qiu Xizhen, and had met her many times, but they hadn't spoken to her.Then he smiled and said: "This is Mi Siqiu. I have never asked for advice. It is rare to come here. Please sit down!" Miss Wu Er said with a smile: "Do you know each other?" The second master in the Bai Mansion got married, and the woman was Mi Siqiu's best man. I heard people say that that is Miss Qiu, so I know him." Miss Wu Er said with a smile: "That's it, the two finally know each other , no need to introduce." Yanxi let the two of them sit on a sofa chair, and she accompanied them facing each other.But the eyes couldn't help but shoot Miss Wu Er twice.I said to myself, why do you bring a stranger here?Miss Wu Er understood what she meant, she raised her eyelids and couldn't help smiling.Because Qiu Xizhen is a biological friend, Yanxi naturally wants to deal with her first.Then he said: "Mi Siqiu, have you been to the White Mansion recently?" Xizhen said: "I often go there. That bride is my old classmate, and we have a very good relationship." Yanxi said: "Yes, they are new The couple just came back from their honeymoon in the south, and I heard that they are going to Japan again." As he said that, he smiled, and then said, "This kind of custom, China has learned from it, and more and more people have gradually learned it." Qiu Xizhen didn't know much about it. It can be said that only a slight smile.Miss Wu Er is a knowledgeable person, and Qiu Xizhen found it difficult to continue Yanxi's words, so she said, "Guess what we're doing here?"He replied: "I'm a stupid person, how can I guess the minds of you smart people?" Miss Wu Er said: "I heard that Qiye has a lot of magazines, we want to borrow them." Yanxi said: "Yes, yes Yes!" He touched the frame of a full-length mirror behind him, and a door appeared.Inside the door is a study.All around the house are bookcases and shelves.Yanxi stood up, pointed inward with her hand, and said, "Please go in here to have a look. To the east, there are three bookshelves full of magazines. Please take whatever you want." Miss Wu Er and Qiu Xizhen went inside Go and see that it is full of books except for a table, a chair and a couch.Looking at those books, most of them are Chinese and foreign novels, followed by Chinese and foreign magazines, and there are also some legends and poems.Probably this room was specially set up by Yanxi for recreation, not like other people's study, but a place to study.Qiu Xizhen looked through the foreign magazines. There were many titles, not only film magazines, but also architectural magazines and radio magazines.Qiu Xizhen said: "Master Qi is very hardworking, and also studies science?" Yanxi smiled and said, "Why, I also ordered a copy of those magazines because there are many beautiful pictures. Fortunately, foreign magazines are based on advertisements. For the backing, the prices are very cheap, not worth anything." Xizhen picked through the pile of magazines for a while, and took six or seven movie magazines in her hand.Said: "Let me take a look at it for a few days, and ask someone to send it back." Yanxi smiled and said, "What do you mean when you send it back?" Qiu Xizhen said: "Although I am not a scholar, I am a scholar's temper. I know. He doesn't care if you don't return any of his precious things you borrowed from him. If you don't return the books you borrowed, he is very unwilling. Qiye, right?" Yanxi smiled and said: " I used to be like this. Later, when I had too many books, I lost one here and one here, and I was too lazy to sort them out. As a result, nine out of ten books were damaged. "Miss Wu Er laughed and said: "This is Qi Ye's truth." Qiu Xizhen said: "Then I always have to pay it back, because it is not difficult to borrow again." Miss Wu Er said with a smile: "You can't be messed with, you just got it the first time, and you're planning to borrow it for the second time." Yanxi said: "It doesn't matter, there are plenty, just come and ask for it." Qiu Xizhen walked away while talking.Miss Wu Er followed Xizhen and came out all the way. Yanxi looked at her again and again, meaning to ask her to sit a little longer.Miss Wu Er smiled, pretending not to know.Yanxi had no choice but to say: "Why don't you sit down for a while?" Xizhen said: "It's getting late today, I'm in a hurry to go back, let's talk later." Yanxi said: "Is Misiwu also so busy?" Second Miss Wu turned her head She smiled at Yanxi and said, "It's not a big deal if you say you're busy. You don't have the time to sit and chat if you say you're not busy." Yanxi said, "I'm not leaving you to chat, I have something to talk to you about." Where is Shang?" Second Miss Wu stopped, then turned her head and asked, "What's the matter?" Yanxi couldn't tell why when she asked her this question.He smiled and lowered his head to think for a while, and said, "Let's not talk about it for now, let's talk about it tomorrow." Looking at Qiu Xizhen's back, he left slowly.
