Yanxi came and went in such a hurry, the second aunt was a little bit embarrassed after seeing it too much.Then he asked Qingqiu: "Lao Qi is really busy, what can I do? You always know, right?" Qingqiu said: "He hasn't mentioned it yet. I don't like to take care of his affairs. After adding a child, Don't talk about it, so I don't know." The second aunt knew that she was guarding Yanxi after hearing this, so she didn't mention it.But after Yanxi left, she didn't come back for dinner, and she didn't call back to ask for news.Mrs. Leng just stayed with Qingqiu in the room, chatting for a while when anyone came, and sitting quietly in the room when no one was chatting.This night, the son-in-law didn't see each other, and the next day, from morning to afternoon, Yanxi still didn't come into the room.Mrs. Leng said to Qingqiu: "Guye is really busy with social gatherings. He is so busy that he can't go home day and night. There is probably a 80% hope for this matter." Qingqiu said: "It's not certain, maybe after a while, he will come back." Said Hearing these words, he stopped discussing, waited for a while, and waited until the lights were turned on at night, but Yanxi still did not come back.Mrs. Leng said again: "Young master is too busy to go home again. Is this a big deal?" Qingqiu frowned and said, "Hey! Why do you keep talking about this?" What Mrs. Leng meant was originally He also thought of these few words to comfort Qingqiu. Now that Qingqiu doesn't want her to say it, he doesn't need to mention it, as long as there is no Yanxi, it doesn't matter if he comes back or not.

Yanxi played small cards at Bai Lianhua's house during the day, and at night because of the appearance of Bai Lianhua and Bai Yuhua in Gongyuan, she didn't go home until twelve o'clock to support her.As soon as he entered the door, Jin Rong rushed forward and said, "Qiye, why did you come back at this time?" Yanxi said, "I know, I don't have any serious illness, and I'm not a doctor, so I just watch at home." It's useless." Jin Rong said: "It's not about this, Miss Bai called several times, saying that you are back, you must call her back." Yanxi said: "It's past twelve o'clock, and you still need to call What phone call? We'll talk about it tomorrow." Jin Rong only heard this, and walked outside Yanxi's study, and the phone in the study was already jingling.As soon as Jin Rong answered the phone, he said, "Master Qi just came back." Yanxi wanted to go straight to the back yard, but upon hearing Jin Rong's words, she walked into the room and asked, " Is it Miss Bai's phone?" Jin Rong stepped aside, took the phone, and handed it to Yanxi.As soon as Yanxi asked, Xiuzhu said in the first sentence: "Why are you so busy, I can't find you for a day?" Yanxi smiled and said, "I can't help it! I have to find a way out by myself." Xiuzhu Said: "Young people, don't be an official fan like that. It's a shame to let people hear. I have something to ask for you. Can you come to my house?" Yanxi said "It's so late, the theater is all over, and I still have to run outside?" Xiuzhu said, "Don't worry, I don't want to ask you to dance. I have a very good thing to talk to you about." Talk. You must not lose this opportunity." Hearing what Xiuzhu said, Yanxi seemed to have something really important, because she said, "I don't want me to accompany you, so why should I come out so late at night? Can't you tell me on the phone?" Xiuzhu said: "You are really incomprehensible, if I could tell you on the phone, I would have told you in a few words, why do you need to come? I am waiting for you at home, come quickly That's it." Then, the phone over there was already hung up.Yanxi hung up the phone and stood there in a daze for a while, thinking that since her mother-in-law was here, she should go inside to check on her illness.Otherwise, what's going on this day and night?But if you really want to go to a doctor, you must have some entanglements, and maybe you are under some kind of supervision, so you can't go out at night.Xiuzhu was waiting there, she was in a hurry.Don't go in, anyway, just say that I didn't come back, and that's the end of a crime.After thinking about it, he turned around and walked out.The car outside had just driven into the garage, and the driver was about to take a rest. Yanxi stood at the door of the coachman's room, yelling to drive away.The driver didn't dare to say anything, so he slowly agreed, feeling that he had no strength at all.Yanxi stomped his feet and said, "What's the matter? You don't want to drive or what? I always fight hard, and I have to go out. Do you just want to be comfortable?" The driver hurried into the garage, thumping Ring, drive the car out.

Yanxi drove to the front of Baijia's gate, and sure enough, the place was very prosperous. The dome lamp outside the gate was shining brightly, and saw several cars lined up outside the gate, and a policeman was standing at the gate. Walking around seems to be a newly added position.When Yanxi got out of the car, the concierge here stretched his head and looked out. When he saw Yanxi, he smiled and called Seventh Lord, and said in a low voice, "My aunt is waiting." Yanxi smiled and asked: " Why is your family so lively today? Is there anything you can do?" The servant said: "We have been making noise here until midnight every day, and the matter of our teacher is about to be announced." After hearing what he said, Yanxi felt that he was It's a little boastful, but it's really embarrassing.Turning on the electric light at the gate in the middle of the night is a common thing in our family, so what can we say about it?This kind of person didn't bother to talk to him, so he bent over the living room in front and came to the upper room.As soon as he arrived in the yard, Xiuzhu knew about it a long time ago, and had already come out from the upper room to welcome him.Under the electric light from the eaves, I could see clearly that Yanxi had a silk handkerchief stuffed in the upper pocket of his suit, so he smiled and said, "You look like you, you just came home from outside, and you came to me?" Yanxi said: "Jin Rong told you first on the phone, what are you asking?" Xiuzhu stood still, put an index finger in her mouth, and nodded twice until Yanxi's upper body saw her feet. , smiled and said: "I think you are not at a friend's place. It must be a very interesting place to discuss important matters. You must go back for fun?" Yanxi smiled and said: "I am still in the server. What can I do?" where to go for fun?" While talking, she followed Xiuzhu to the inside.Xiuzhu led him all the way to sit in a small living room outside the bedroom, but she took a large teapot on the coffee table, poured a cup of steaming coffee, and brought it to Yanxi.Then he took out a box of unopened Coulee candies from the tea cabinet, opened the lid, pinched three pieces with snow-white fingers, put them in the coffee cup, and said with a smile, "Is it enough?" Drink something hot and sweet, and you can give me three more." Xiuzhu smiled with her lips pursed, and put down another three colloids.Xiuzhu sat down on a chair opposite him, glanced at him and said, "Your mouth is naturally very sweet. But I have heard too many sweet words like yours. If you say it in front of me again, not only will you You're boring, and I'm boring too." Yanxi smiled and said, "That's true, why did you ask me to come? I'm here, let me talk about your happiness, but let me talk about your worries? Xiuzhu said: "Although I don't want you to cause me trouble, but I want you to tell the truth, not to treat me like a three-year-old or two-year-old child and lie to me with sweet words. I want to listen to your lies like that." Did you call me in the middle of the night? Let me tell you, there is a good opportunity now. My brother is going to send two people to Germany to arrange a deal with the government for military supplies. I discussed with him and asked me to follow the two Go to a commissioner, he has already agreed. If you are also happy, I can ask him to add the name of a commissioner with you. A sum of money." Yanxi laughed and said, "I don't know foreign language, and I don't know military, so what qualifications do I have to go?" Xiuzhu said, "Anyway, there are two people who understand. You are just acting as a cover, what can you do? Besides, in terms of qualifications, you are also the son of a great diplomat, so it is not too hard for you to risk your diplomacy. As long as this is successful, we can send It’s a small fortune. What’s not easy to do in Europe? Now you talk about planning all day and night, what can you do? I’m afraid you may not be able to earn tens of thousands all at once, right?” Yanxi scooped it up with a small spoon. Drinking the coffee slowly, she pondered: "This is a way. But I don't know when to leave?" Xiuzhu said: "You think, if I'm not in a hurry, why should I call you four or five times a day? "After hearing this, Yanxi couldn't answer immediately, but she smiled.Xiuzhu said: "I'm telling the truth, why are you laughing? Do you think I'm joking? Or do you think what I said is wrong?" Yanxi said: "It's a joke, you are so kind, why should I say you are wrong?" But my family is not what it used to be. Although everyone is still together, everyone has their own plans. My mother also saw it, and she was very sad. I was going abroad suddenly. It seems that it must be very strange, and because it is the first time to go abroad, my mother is also a little bit reluctant. So I want to go, but I am too busy, I have to discuss it with my mother first." Xiuzhu heard this. , stood up suddenly, and said with a stern face: "You don't have to say it, I know you have many difficulties. If you don't go, you won't go. Why bother with so many irrelevant reasons? Knowing current affairs, why did I talk to you about such an irrelevant matter? It’s late at night, please go home and rest, don’t talk about it.” Yanxi was also very unhappy to see her unambiguous expression, but But he didn't want to get angry with her, so he was silent for two or three minutes, and then said: "You don't understand my difficulties, I can't help it. Please think about it, in my environment, don't discuss it with my mother, Is this going to work?" Xiuzhu stood in front of her with her hands folded on her chest, and she raised her head to listen to him.After he had finished explaining the reasons, he tapped his toes on the floor for a while, puffed up and said, "Since you have difficulties in your environment, you don't need to go. Could it be that you can't find a way out in Beijing?" Come?" Seeing Xiuzhu's expression, Yanxi was no longer as angry as before, and said, "If you think about it carefully, you will believe it. I'm not talking nonsense. In a word, I agree with the general answer about going abroad. Yes. One thing I have to think about now is to tell my mother, how to make her stay safe." Xiuzhu pursed her lips, sat down on the chair opposite him, her eyelids drooped, and her eyes looked at him, as if she was looking at him. It's like checking something.Yanxi said: "Think about it, is what I said right?" Xiuzhu shook her head and said, "You are wrong. Apart from your aunt, is there no other person who keeps you in trouble? I don't believe it. "Yanxi said: "That's very true. But as long as my mother agrees, the rest is absolutely not a problem." Xiuzhu's eyes fixed on Yanxi's face, and asked: "Is it really not a problem?" Yanxi nodded She nodded and said: "I dare to say this, do you believe it or not?" Xiuzhu said: "It's good if you can do that. I'll give you three days to get everything right at home. After the three-day deadline, my brother may not be able to wait any longer. I think no matter what is difficult to say, if we have three days and three nights to negotiate, it can always be resolved. If it cannot be resolved, of course there is no need to proceed with this matter." Yanxi When I heard that it was only three days, I couldn't help but frowned, and when I heard Xiuzhu's explanation later, she nodded and smiled: "Well, I will try my best in these three days to solve it. At least in two days In a few days, I can tell you a little about the situation first, and you can see that it is six or seven points, so you don't have to be impatient." Xiuzhu moved the corner of her mouth, snorted, and said with a smile: "Why am I impatient? I am at ease, I have been with my brother in Beijing for all these years, am I eager to leave him?" At this point, both of them felt bad, no matter how serious they were, Yanxi could only force a smile.The cup of coffee was already cold because he kept disturbing it with the teaspoon, so he picked up the cup and drank it in one gulp.Xiuzhu smiled and said, "Is it still sweet and hot?" Yanxi said, "Although it's not hot, it's still sweet. It doesn't matter if it's not hot. I'll drink it in my stomach, and it will naturally taste sweet when it's in my stomach." It's getting hot." Xiuzhu snorted with a smile.Yanxi smiled and said, "Do you have anything to pay me? If you don't have anything to pay, I'm leaving. I'm going back late, and I'm afraid my mother will be punished. Now it's not like before. It's past twelve o'clock. , the whole family is asleep. If I go back immediately, my mother will ask me, and I have to say that I went back from here!" Hearing the two words he said first, Xiuzhu wanted to refute him, but when she heard the last sentence, Then she raised her head and smiled and said, "You're not trying to make trouble. How can you tell the news in advance? Then, please go back to your house. It's really not too late." Yanxi said yes with a smile, and said yes. With a bent waist, Xiuzhu said: "Why are you arrogant and then respectful?" Yanxi said: "It's like this since I came here, and I didn't say anything rude today." Xiuzhu said: "Don't talk about today, You go ahead." Yanxi said: "Even in the last few days, I can't think of anything that offended you." Xiuzhu said: "Don't talk about the last few days, you have to go forward, half a year ago, you What is your attitude? From today's point of view, isn't it arrogant and respectful?" Yanxi had nothing to say again, so she could only smile.Xiuzhu said: "Don't worry too much, I'm a stubborn person, and I won't blame you until now. If I blame you, I won't call you four times a day today. If you think of me, Is that right?" Yanxi said: "Yes. But I don't believe you, and I won't run here late at night. Do you see it right?" Xiuzhu said: "We don't need to say these words, you want Go back, just go back. I'm just telling you a joke, don't worry too much." After finishing speaking, he smiled at Yanxi.Seeing her situation, Yanxi seemed to be losing her temper, so she took one of her hands, shook it twice, and said with a smile, "Thank you very much for helping me like this." Xiuzhu shrank her neck with a smile Said: "As long as you remember me in your heart, I don't care whether you thank me or not." Yanxi didn't let go, and led her over from the small coffee table, and then the two went out of the room together , go outside.Xiuzhu withdrew her hand and said, "What do you mean by letting others see these people?" Yanxi had no choice but to let go, and followed her to the gate. Xiuzhu said something to him in a low voice before he sat down. I went home in my car.Yanxi's conversation took up an hour and a half, and it was almost two o'clock when she got home.

Knocking on the door and walking in, the house was pitch black, and I didn't hear any sound. In this way, I didn't have to go back to my yard to see the patient.When I walked in, I wanted to alarm my mother-in-law. I didn't know what I had done to go home so late at night?So I slept in the front study.In fact, at this time, Qingqiu was not sleeping, and was waiting for Yanxi to come back. He had a few words to say to him behind his mother's back.Because Mrs. Leng was always afraid that Yanxi would come back at night, so she avoided going upstairs to sleep early.Qingqiu turned on an electric lamp beside the bed, and was reading a book.Suddenly, he heard some noises in the front yard, as if Yanxi had returned.There was a mother here today, so I expected him to come in and make a fuss, but unexpectedly after waiting for a long time, there was no sound again.Qingqiu reached under the pillow and took out a watch to look at it, it was already half past two.Still tucking the watch under the pillow, propping the quilt up with one hand, he sat up.Looking around the room, I felt that although the lights were on, they still had a cold look.In the courtyard outside, the sound of the wind also stopped, and in the stillness of the air, I heard the snoring sound of two old mothers, which reached my eardrums far away.Looking back at the child lying on the bed, he also closed a pair of small eyes, folded his hands, and slept soundly.He nodded to his son and said, "Son, you are in a daze at this time, sleeping so peacefully, how do you know that the magic star in your life palace is forcing you to step forward step by step? You know that you will be How dangerous is it? Cough! I don’t know if you hurt me or I hurt you? We don’t want to blame each other, just blame fate.” Qingqiu was very bored, and he talked to himself. Bored, so he sighed and fell asleep.But people who hide in bed all day and all night will never have enough sleep, so although Qingqiu patiently fell asleep, she did not fall asleep, but was awake on the bed.It wasn't until the window was lit that I fell asleep for a while.

After waking up, Mrs. Leng was already sitting on the chair in front of the bed.When Mrs. Leng saw her open her eyes, she first asked, "Did you sleep better? I touched your forehead, and I felt it was still a little hot." Qingqiu struggled reluctantly and smiled: "I'm fine. , don’t worry about me, you can go back today. After all, you are not used to living here.” Mrs. Leng took a step forward and asked her in a low voice: “What’s the matter? Is there anyone who is not willing?” Qingqiu Said: "That's not true. I think you are worried about family affairs and no one cares about them, so you can't let go." Mrs. Leng said: "Of course I am worried about family affairs, but I am also worried about your illness. I am here , the family is just afraid of something wrong, if I go back and think of your illness, I will be very anxious." Qingqiu said with a smile: "Worry is not afraid of my death. Now that I am like this, am I going to die? Mrs. Leng said: "You're talking nonsense again, I'm just afraid you'll be bored, so I'll just stay with you." Seeing her mother's appearance, Qingqiu wasn't very worried, and even took the opportunity to force her to go home.After seeing her talking and laughing, Mrs. Leng agreed to go home.After lunch, Mrs. Leng said she was going home to take a look, and she would come back in half a day, so she said goodbye to Mrs. Jin and went back.In the afternoon, Qingqiu returned to the attitude of guarding the empty room alone.This newborn baby, besides drinking milk, just sleeps, it doesn't take up much time for her to cuddle.In the middle of her helplessness, the only way is to read a book.She got out of bed by herself and found a book, and read it in bed.It's just that there is something in my heart. The words and sentences in the book can be seen in my eyes, but they can't be printed in my heart. After reading many pages, I don't know what the book says.In the end, he had no choice but to throw the book away, opened his eyes, and lay down on the bed.After lying down for a while, still feeling bored, I picked up the book and read it again.This time I tried my best to read it patiently, and I understood what the book said.

But after seeing only two pages of the book, Yanxi came in.Qingqiu held up the book to cover his face, seeing him coming in, he only put down the book a little, looked at the head of the book, still held it up high to cover his face.Yanxi said: "Reading again, are you completely cured?" Qingqiu was silent for a long time before snorting slightly.Yanxi sat down on a soft chair beside the bed, leaned back, and said naturally: "You don't care about others, are you angry with me?" Angry?" Yanxi said: "Your words are wrong. It may take some trouble to tell others. You have a lot of Chinese books, so tell you, you won't deny it. I remember the old books There is such a saying, which is 'Don't dare to speak but dare to be angry'. Anger is born in the heart, why not dare?" Qingqiu smiled and said: "Don't talk to me about books, if you say that I have read books, I will It's really messed up. What's the point in studying like me alone?" Yanxi said, "I'll compliment you, but you're going to argue with me, it's too difficult." Qingqiu will Pressing down the book, he raised his head and said, "I didn't say anything about you, I just blamed myself. How can you say I'm arguing with you?" Yanxi said, "I can tell by listening to your voice and looking at your color. You mean me. You think you have a lot of books, and if you marry someone like me, it’s considered a disgrace. Hmph! That’s okay, it’s not too late. You can still raise your net worth.” Qingqiu sat up, Slowly shaking his head to Yanxi twice, he said, "Qi Ye, don't do this! For those who have no resistance, just attack, that's not a skill! I'm just for this child, and for my old mother, so I am so wronged, otherwise, I... would have..." At this point, she was choked with sobs and couldn't speak anymore, and she turned over and fell on the table to cry.Yanxi said: "Do you think your mother is here, and I'm afraid of you if you act like this? No matter who you go, you are crying and making trouble with me. What does that mean?" Bi, sitting with his feet up and shaking, said slowly: "It's nothing more than saying that I didn't come to take care of your illness. I don't think I have committed any serious crimes just for this matter." Qingqiu cried for a while before lifting At the beginning, he said: "I have to suffer from you because I want to hide it from my mother! She has already left." Yanxi said: "Okay! You have said such a thing, how about love? It's up to you. But Regardless of whether you did this on purpose or not, it is always the truth that you quarreled with me at first. I asked about your illness, but you started to mock me." Qingqiu said: "Thank you for coming to see my illness. People who are sick have to wait for you to come and see them. I think I’ve died several times. Are you here to see my illness? I’m afraid I’m tired of playing and come home to rest, or go home to get some Money, right? Do whatever you like, you can do whatever you want, and I can't even ask you." Yanxi sneered and said, "Sure enough, I'm under your coercion?" Qingqiu said with tears, "Aren't you willing to give up? You bullied me?" When I’m in this state, why do you still say that I’m coercing you?” Yanxi sat on the chair, didn’t speak for a long time, then suddenly stood up and said, “Okay! Anyway, if you say I’m not sincere, I won’t be sincere. Give me the key of the house, and I want to take the money." Qingqiu turned his face and said: "How is it? Isn't what I said right? The key is here, you take it." Saying, groping under the pillow for a while, He took out the key and threw it on the table.However, she used too much force, and hit the glass brick mirror of the wardrobe with a slap. There was a small hole in the middle of the mirror, and many cracks were separated around it like a spider's web.When Yanxi saw it, she was taken aback for a moment, wondering why Qingqiu was so angry?Qingqiu was also taken aback in his heart, how could he break the mirror just like this?According to ordinary superstition, this is an unlucky thing. Even if there is no need for superstition, it would be a pity to break a mirror that is used every day.When she thought about it, she was silent and speechless.The room was silent for a long time, but it was Yanxi who couldn't bear it and spoke first.Sneered and said: "This is your demonstration movement, right? The things in this house are not worth much, so it doesn't matter if you destroy them." Yes. But you blame me on this point, and I admit it." Yanxi said: "How dare I blame you? I offended you, you should smash things." As he spoke, he opened the box and took With a roll of banknotes in his hand, he didn't hand over the key to Qingqiu, so he took it with him and went out.

Qingqiu sat on the bed, watched her husband walk out, but couldn't say a word.Originally, I made a mistake. How could I break this big mirror?When I was regretting, I thought of the words of the ancient Lechang who broke the mirror, so later generations always regard the broken mirror as a symbol of the separation of husband and wife.Originally, the relationship with Yanxi faded day by day, and there was a great possibility of separation.Just at this moment, the mirror was broken, which made people feel a knot in their hearts.In this way, there may be such a day.Thinking so slowly, when I turned around by chance, I saw a book I was reading just now, falling on the floor, and suddenly thought of the sentence that the article I said was sweeping the floor.I thought to myself, up to now, am I just like this book, falling on the floor?I don't fight for myself, but for ordinary women.If I leave the Jin family, will I starve to death?Thinking of this, he put on his clothes and got out of bed, took a cup of tea, and sat on the sofa to drink it slowly.

Suddenly, I heard Ah Nan calling Seventh Young Mistress outside the window.Qingqiu agreed, saying yes please come in.Ah Nan walked in, first smiled and said: "Miss Seventh is always so polite, you should say this to us." Qingqiu said with a smile: "This is not considered polite, I have always been like this. On the day of entering the coffin, it is still impossible to decide what his life will be like? How can I make a decision early? In the future, I will also have a day like you, and it will be even more difficult for me if people want to show their authority in front of me." A Nan laughed and said: "Seventh Young Mistress said this, how dare I take it for granted? You pulled out a vellus hair, which is thicker than our waist. It will be even better when you return to China after you go abroad." Qingqiu smiled and said: "I Are you going abroad? I hope you will live forever." A Nan laughed and said, "You are not being honest. I was in my wife's room just now, and I heard Qi Ye and his wife discussing that they want to go to Germany. Qi Ye, you still have Aren't you going?" Qingqiu's heart skipped a beat two or three times when he heard this.Then he laughed and said, "He said it was just a joke, so how can it be reliable?" Ah Nan said, "No, when Qi Ye talked to his wife, he was in a serious manner, not like a joke. The wife still Tell him, this matter can't be done." Qingqiu said with a smile: "Maybe go abroad, what's the matter with you here?" A Nan smiled and said: "I just came to inquire about this matter. If you go abroad, you must I will go to Shanghai to board a ship, and I am willing to go back to Shanghai with you." Qingqiu said: "To go to Germany, you don't have to take a boat, you can also go by railway. Go and hear what Qi Ye said? If you really arrive Go to Shanghai to take a boat, I can take you there." Ah Nan heard that she went happily.After going for a long time, Ah Nan came back and said with a smile to Qing Qiu: "Miss Qi, I misheard what I said just now, don't mention it, in the future when Qi Ye asks, don't mention that I told you." Qing Qiu He asked: "What does this mean? Is it a secret that he is going abroad?" Ah Nan hesitated for a while, then smiled and said: "Anyway, you will understand in the future." Qingqiu saw Ah Nan's embarrassing look , smiled and said: "I like to be troublesome but I am afraid of causing trouble. Such a big girl, but also so naughty! Don't worry, I won't tell you what you said. In fact, your seventh master, tell me first, and go later Tell your wife." Ah Nan was skeptical and left with a smile.
