Chapter 99 Chapter Ninety-seventh: Bing Tan's Favors Disappeared in Officials and Asked for Help

After Yufen arrived home, she didn't have time to talk about it during the day, but at night, she couldn't hold it anymore, so she went to Peifang's room to see her nephew Xiaoshuanger, played with the child under the lamp for a while, and then laughed. Said: "Sister-in-law, hasn't your sister received a letter?" Peifang said: "He and his wife are happily married, and they are preparing for English. They are going to England." Maybe it was unexpected that Lao Qi's marriage would lead to their good marriage." Peifang said: "No, it's hard to say what happens in the world." Yufen laughed and said: "Not only does it lead to another marriage, it probably is It caused two marriages." Peifang said: "Two marriages, and one, which one is it?" Yufen said: "Which one is naturally the best man's surname Xie, but the woman is from our family. Yes." Pei Fang laughed and said, "That's right, I seem to have heard that the person surnamed Xie pays close attention to a girl in our family, and I don't think there will be any Xiao Lian pretending to be a young lady. If there is such a person, it must be eight. Sister. But when Bamei was studying at school, cars came and went, so she rarely had the opportunity to interact with men. In the past six months, she seems to have grown up and become more sensible. When her father died, she never went out ..." Yufen shook her head and said: "Come on, come on. Haven't you heard that a woman is kind? If she has something on her mind, how can she let you know?" Peifang laughed: "Back then you and When Pengzhen was not married, he was probably kind to him, otherwise, how would you know that a woman is kind?" Yufen said with a smile: "I'm old-fashioned, what are you afraid of? If you want to joke, just go ahead Just kidding." Peifang said: "I don't care about it. I asked you, but you suddenly said it, there must be some proof, you tell me, let me refer to it." Yufen then added some details about today's situation in Beihai Interlude, tell Peifang to listen from the beginning to the end.Pei Fang laughed and said, "According to what you said, there are 80 to 90% of the resemblance. The eighth younger sister married such a happy man, she is also very good. But what the second aunt thought, the master should participate in the marriage of children to some extent. Just a little opinion, can she agree to this marriage?" Yufen said: "I think the second aunt may not be able to make decisions about the eighth sister's marriage, and there is nothing to refute this person named Xie. According to Lao Qi, he is a well-known poor student in school. In the future, Second Aunt seems to need a rich uncle." Pei Fang nodded and smiled.Yufen said: "How is it? Don't you take my words for granted?" Peifang said: "Of course that is the case, but as far as Bamei is concerned, young girls are not attached to the word love, but they are attached to it." The word love, rich or poor, is not a problem." Yufen said: "So as an elder, you have to think carefully about this level in advance. It is necessary to break all class concepts. But now, how is it? Isn’t it mutual reluctance? If I had known this earlier, it would be great if I didn’t get involved in this marriage? Now, the two parties are very deadlocked, and they are at odds. Why bother if you can’t get it back?” When she talked about this, Peifang was a little reluctant to talk about it, so she had to laugh and say: “The beauty of a gentleman is that you don’t care about the future. If it’s related, why don’t you leak some information to them? You leaked the information, and if Eighth Sister doesn’t deny it, you can proceed.” Yufen said: “How can I have anything to do with you? You can say that. Think about it." Peifang said: "I'm not saying that you have other relationships, but you discovered it first. In fact, I also know that you are very cautious, how could you leak this information?" Yufen suddenly stood up and said: " What's the point? It's not something to tell others, so I'll go." Peifang smiled and took her hand and said, "Don't believe my nonsense, you have to think about it, don't talk nonsense." Yu Fen didn't move, turned her head and smiled and said, "Do you think I'm really that stupid to take care of other people's idle accounts? I'm just trying your attitude." Peifang laughed and said, "Yo! You don't Do you know that I am an honest and useless person? Once you say it, I will naturally believe it. Do you still need to try it? Next time you don’t try to play tricks on me, just talk to me casually, and I will naturally take it I told you what was on my mind.” Yufen turned around with a blushing face, and simply smiled and said, “Oh! My old sister, can you hit me a few times? It doesn't matter. I, Yufen, just show off my cleverness, and I don't dare to recite the essays in front of Confucius." She said and sat down on a sofa next to Peifang, holding Peifang's hand with her hand.Peifang withdrew her hands, and scolded with a smile: "You little trickster, you're so powerful, I can't laugh or scold you. Don't use your tricks here, just play with Pengzhen. I think You didn't show any color to Peng Zhen, and you didn't have any big arguments. He is as tame as a little sheep, so he probably can't stand your methods." Yufen smiled and nodded: " That's right! No matter who treats her husband, it is inevitable to use this trick. This is the female general's trump card, once you throw it out, there is no mistake." Peifang didn't reply her, but Qiuxiang came running in a hurry and said "Third young lady, hurry up, the third master doesn't know why, he's just angry in the room." Pei Fang pushed, "Go and use your mace."

Yufen heard that Peng Zhen was angry, but she couldn't figure out why?But she was anxious to go back to the house to have a look, and didn't care about Peifang's joke, so she followed Qiuxiang away.Walking into the yard, I heard Peng Zhen slapping the table, and one person yelled in the room: "This is really a cold world. Don't worry, I will avenge you one day." After finishing speaking, he slapped the table again. for a moment.After hearing her accent, Yufen was obviously angry with outsiders and had nothing to do with her husband and wife.He said outside: "What's the matter? It's like going crazy." But Peng Zhen sighed in the room.When Yufen walked in, she saw him leaning on the sofa, as if he was sick, without any energy.Yufen said: "What's the matter? I was so scared that Qiuxiang brought me back." Pengzhen stood up suddenly, clapped his hands together and said, "Look, is this unreasonable? The Salt Bureau laid off people, and my name It was also laid off. In this way, the income of four hundred yuan a month will be lost." Yufen was taken aback when she heard this, and asked: "Really?" Peng Zhen said: "It's all published, Why is it not true? To be honest, the person in the financial circle, who has not benefited from my father? I have forgotten it now." Yufen said: "Why didn't you know anything beforehand?" Peng Zhen said: "That's it After talking, he was caught off guard, if I know something, I don’t need to ask someone to intervene, I will personally go out and talk to the director.” Yufen sat opposite him, biting her upper lip He lowered his lips, lowered his head and thought for a while, nodded his head slightly and said, "I'll find a way with you, try it." Peng Zhen said, "I know, you are looking for the Bai family, and he may not be willing to help me. Well, Bai Xiongqi is now the soul of the Kuang patrol envoy, this group of bureaucrats are most afraid of warlords, as long as the warlords are willing to speak, it is more effective than the imperial decree." Yufen said: "Don't talk about that, are you willing? Don't you want to?" Peng Zhen said: "As long as you can ask someone to talk about it, that would be the best thing, why don't you want to?" Yufen said: "It's not like that, because there is a part of your family that is very serious. Ambitious people are not willing to ask the Bai family for favors. Because the Bai family used to be far inferior to your family, and now you have to turn around and look for him, it seems a bit embarrassing." Peng Zhen sighed and said "Hedong for ten years, Hexi for ten years, which one can keep them? I will entrust you with this matter." Then, he stood up and bowed his hands to Yufen.Yufen smiled and said: "Although you want to trust someone, I think you still seem to be a little bit dissatisfied. I have something to say first. If you want to trust someone, you can't bury someone's favor. I can't do it in secret." Peng Zhen said: " It doesn't need to be a secret! Who can say that he won't ask for help all his life?" Yufen said: "I think it's better for a person to have two bad lucks. After bad luck, he will understand human affairs and speak human words. "Peng Zhen felt that Madam's words were too serious, but at this time he wanted to refute Madam's words, and was afraid that Madam would be angry, so he smiled lightly.Yufen said: "Besides me, you might as well find someone else, and let Lao Qi tell Xiuzhu that he is twice as strong as me." Peng Zhen frowned and said, "Don't mention this person." Sir, I don't see him showing up all day and all night." Yufen said: "In the past few days, he often goes to Xiuzhu's place for lunch, you might as well make a phone call to find him during lunch. When I look for him, I think there are nine out of ten chances that I can meet him." Peng Zhen said oh.Yufen said: "What are you doing? It seems that it's no wonder that he can't be found. In fact, he was there only for a while, and he didn't know where he went the rest of the time? I even hid it from Xiuzhu for him. "Peng Zhen said: "I seem to have heard someone say where he went, and I'm afraid it may not be all there." Yufen said: "Where is it? Tell me!" Peng Zhen was happy for a while, but first he didn't mean to say it up.At this moment, when he thought about it, how could he know where Yanxi was?This is a bit suspicious.After a pause, she laughed and said, "How do I know where he is? It's just a wild guess. I think he's just in two places, the theater garden and the dance hall." Yufen snorted when she heard that, Looking at Peng Zhen sneered, and pursed his lips, he nodded several times with him.Peng Zhen looked very angry when he saw his wife's situation.This is not to be provoked, so I quickly found a hat on the hanger and put it on my head, said with a smile: "I thought of something, and I have to do something, let me go and see Lao Qi." After finishing speaking, he hurried , just go outside.Fortunately, Yufen didn't pay attention to Peng Zhen's actions, so he walked outside safely.

Now Jin Rong is not in charge of all the affairs in the several yards outside.Jin Rong sat in the double gate room under the building, and he rarely left.The whole family used to have five telephones, but now there is only one left, and the telephone is downstairs.All incoming calls were answered by Jin Rong.When Peng Zhen came out, he saw Jin Rong leaning on a small table, took a piece of tea wrapping paper, and wrote some random words of uneven size with an ink pen. It looked so boring. .When he heard footsteps, he looked up and saw that it was the third master, he squeezed the writing paper into a ball and stood up.Peng Zhen said: "You are sneaky, what are you scribbling here alone?" Jin Rong smiled, but did not answer.Peng Zhen said: "I don't care what you write, let me ask you, is Qi Ye always staying with Bai Lianhua all this time?" How dare Jin Rong say where Yanxi went, he just smiled and said he didn't know.Peng Zhen said: "You just keep it from others, why are you keeping it from me? Someone called Qiye, and you can't hide it from you. Is there anyone else you don't know about where he went? As far as I think, it must be Is it mostly when he is with the white lotus?" Jin Rong said with a smile: "Of course the third master understands." Peng Zhen said: "At this time, is he there or not?" Jin Rong said: "I can't say for sure. But..." Peng Zhen said: "What are you doing hiding your head and showing your tail? Even if the seventh master knows, it doesn't matter if I ask you." Peng Zhen said, looking at the situation, he concluded that Yanxi must be there White lotus there.If you call, maybe he still doesn't answer.I have already changed to a human-chartered car, and I went straight to Bai Lianhua's house in the car.

As soon as I arrived at the door, I saw a car from my family here, and the two drivers were gone, as if they had stayed outside the door for a long time.Peng Zhen got out of the car and walked in quietly without disturbing anyone.When he arrived in the yard, he stepped heavily, coughed first, and a person from the upper room opened the curtain to greet him, it was Bai Lianhua.She smiled and said: "What kind of wind is this? It brought the third master here today?" It is to get into the curtain with the white lotus.Yanxi saw that the third child was alone, and expected that there must be something wrong here, so she didn't hide, so she came out to welcome her.He smiled and said: "You really have the ear to tell the gods, you know I'm here, I just arrived, what's the matter at home? I'll go back now." Peng Zhen said: "I don't care if you go back or not, I There is something I need to discuss with you." Yanxi couldn't imagine what happened to Qingqiu at home, so her heart skipped a beat.Peng Zhen said: "Don't worry too much, I don't care about your business. I just have two things of my own that I want to talk to you about." As he spoke, he looked into a room inside.Yanxi smiled and said, "You can sit inside. I'll introduce a friend to meet you." Then she called Yuhua, and the guest came.Then he opened the curtain and let him in.Pengzhen drilled in, and saw a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl with short fluffy hair, no powder on her face, long eyebrows on her temples, beautiful eyes, and wearing a light blue cheongsam. Merry, really cute.When she saw someone coming, she stood up slowly and bowed slightly to Peng Zhen.And gently called the third master.Peng Zhen quickly nodded with a smile and said: "You're welcome, please sit down. I didn't know you were the first two sisters to come out, otherwise, I would definitely join in." Bai Yuhua didn't say anything, just stood smiling.Pengzhen looked at her, smiled and said to Yanxi: "Although she has one or two similarities with her sister's appearance, she is more gentle. Very good! Not bad!" When he said that, Bai Lianhua had already followed in, making everything clear .Peng Zhen smiled and said: "Boss Li, you have such a good sister, why didn't you mention it to us?" Bai Lianhua said: "It's been half a year, and I haven't seen the third master. Son, how can I bring it up?" Peng Zhen said with a smile: "It's my fault, I haven't seen you face to face for a long time. You Lingmei is a talented person with a bright future..." Yanxi Interjected: "Didn't you have something to say to me?" Peng Zhen smiled and said: "When I first meet someone, I have to socialize a few words. If you have something to say, you can speak slowly. What are you busy with?" If you find it, there must be something important and urgent, but now it seems that it doesn't matter, so it's very indifferent.Bai Lianhua said with a smile: "Don't say it's hard for you to talk because we are here? Then, let's avoid it." Peng Zhen smiled and said: "No matter what we say, we won't have any conflicts with you, so why bother?" This way to avoid suspicion?" Bai Yuhua was the first to stand up after hearing her sister's words.Although Peng Zhen explained and wanted to stop him, Bai Yuhua and her sister lost their eyes and walked outside.Bai Lianhua originally wanted to hear what his brother had to say, since Bai Yuhua had left, how could she stay alone in the room, so she pursed her lips and went out with a smile.

Seeing that her sister was gone, Yanxi whispered to Peng Zhen, "What's the matter with you? You came here to talk to me, and when you found me, you were at ease, as if nothing happened," Peng Zhen said. "Why not? It's inconvenient to say my words in front of others." Yanxi said: "This is even more strange. When he left just now, you kept him over and over again. Now that he is gone, you He also said that it was in front of others, so it is inconvenient to say. What is it..." Peng Zhen frowned and said: "Stop debating these nonsense, I have something to discuss with you. My name is also ticked off. Are you saying that people are angry or not? According to your third sister-in-law, this matter is not difficult to undo, as long as you ask Bai Xiongqi to write a letter in his own hand, it can be realized. It’s just that the Bai family and I have never I don't have any personal communication, and it's not right to go to someone today when I have something to do, what's wrong with that?" Having said this, his brows furrowed even more, and he looked at Yanxi, expecting him to reply.Yanxi said: "Although I often go to Bai's house, I don't often talk to him. Unless I find someone else to talk about this matter, but..." He took a breath, showing full hesitation look like.Peng Zhen said: "I just want to talk to you. I don't care who you turn to. Fortunately, Ms. Xiuzhu is very enthusiastic. As long as she can help our surname, she will definitely help us." Yes. I’ll ask you to turn this matter on to her and tell her that I’m feeling sorry for you.” Yanxi smiled and said, “Actually, if you want to find her, it’s better to let the third sister-in-law go.” Peng Zhen said: “How can she compare to you? ? She is just a relative. You..." Peng Zhen felt that it was hard to talk about this, it couldn't be said to be a friend's relationship, it would be deeper than a relative.Yin paused for a moment, and said vaguely: "Just try your best, she will naturally go, and it will be better if you do both. You can go now, and you don't have to go home if you get any news. Just give me a call. You go, you go." He was sitting, but he said you go, but Yanxi didn't stand up, but he did.Yanxi laughed and said, "This is not a matter of rushing to do it. Why is there such a hurry?" Peng Zhen didn't care, pulled his clothes and pulled him up.Yin said: "As soon as the note is issued, the Salt Bureau can keep me, or the Ministry of Finance can do something for me. I was laid off this time. It can be said that it is for the purpose of transfer, so I will not be shabby." Yanxi stood up , scratched his head with his hand, and smiled at him again.Peng Zhen said: "I know that you are in a dilemma, you just go, if Boss Li and sister have anything to say here, I can talk to you." Then he called Boss Li.Bai Lianhua came in and said with a smile: "Have you finished your private conversation?" Peng Zhen said: "There is no private conversation, but I have one thing to ask him to run away with me." Then, he bowed to Bai Lianhua She raised her fist and said with a smile, "He will come back within two or three hours. He won't miss anything if you have anything to do." Bai Lianhua laughed and said, "What are you talking about? Could it be that I can still interfere with you?" Master's action?" Peng Zhen said: "That's not what it means, because Yanxi always has an appointment when he comes to you, and the appointment is not over, how can I tell him to go away?" Bai Lianhua said with a smile: " Here, we have become Qi Ye's half family, and we come here almost every day, so what appointments do we have?"

When she said this, Bai Yuhua had already walked in, and she kept winking at her.Bai Lianhua smiled and said: "Don't worry, it doesn't matter. The third master is also our good friend. We have to ask the third master for help in many things. Why do you hide it from him?" Bai Yuhua said: "Look, I didn't say anything , How do you talk about this?" She blushed when she said this, and walked away from a distance, sitting on a small chair in the corner.Seeing this, Peng Zhen thought to himself, among Kunling, a person as gentle as Bai Lianhua is already rare.Unexpectedly, Bai Yuhua's temperament is several times gentler than her sister's, and she looks really cute.She was wearing a white pattern gown. She was thin and long, and she seemed more graceful and graceful.She lowered her head and just stroked the nails of her left hand with her right hand.Yanxi was on the side, seeing his eyes, just shooting at Bai Yuhua, she smiled and said: "Didn't you urge me to go right away? Now you are not in a hurry." Peng Zhen came to his senses and said with a smile: "Oh Yes, I'll go first, I'm waiting for your call at home." After finishing speaking, he hurried out.The white lotus chased it to the gate.Bai Yuhua was in the room, but she pouted at Yanxi and said, "You brothers all have greedy eyes." Yanxi laughed and said, "Why do my brothers all have greedy eyes? My third son watched you for a while, What does it have to do with me?" Bai Yuhua said in a low voice, "Didn't you look like this when you first met me?" Yanxi laughed loudly and said, "Do you remember the first time we met that day? What about it?" Bai Yuhua said: "Why don't I remember, I will remember it all my life. Your brother..." Yanxi took out the handkerchief on her body, took a step forward, stretched out her hand, covered her mouth, and said with a smile: "Needless to say Now, I fully understand the following sentence." Bai Yuhua turned her head and said: "Stop messing around here. Your brother has something to ask you, and you should go and do it for him. Just play, no serious business I can let it all go, what is this?" Yanxi smiled and said, "Yes! I want you to teach me a lesson, so I'm leaving now." After speaking, she looked around the room, as if looking for something.Bai Yuhua squinted at him, just smiled.After a long time, he said: "Aren't you looking for a hat? You didn't wear a hat today, so it probably fell at Miss Bai's place? You go to meet Miss Bai and take your hat with you. It would be the best." It's a slight smile.Yanxi knew that she had listened to her words, and she had enough of teasing her, so she turned around and left.After going out and taking the car, I went all the way to Xiuzhu's house.When he saw Xiuzhu, he mentioned Pengzhen's facts, and Xiuzhu said: "I already got Yufen's phone number, and I know this is the case. It's not worth anything. I'll just chase after my brother and write a letter."

Yanxi was very happy to see that she was willing to help, and went home in the car to report.As soon as I arrived at the door, I saw an unknown car parked there, which is very rare.Who is it?Thinking so in my heart, let's not go to Pengzhen, first go to the living room and look around, who is it?Outside the carved glass door, looking from a distance, you can see the shadows of several people swaying inside, and there is a lot of laughter.Unexpectedly, Yanxi's house suddenly became lively, and he hurried inside, and the first person he saw surprised him. It turned out that it was Liu Chunjiang who had kidnapped Xiao Lian.Under this shock, Yanxi backed away, and Liu Chunjiang was also taken aback when he saw his surprised look.He waited for Yanxi to stand still, then took a step forward, stretched out his hand to hold him, and said with a smile, "Seventh Brother, it's been a long time." Yanxi suddenly heard the word Seventh Brother, which was a bit harsh.Originally, the friendship between each other was not very deep, and it was reluctant to even call each other by names.Now he suddenly called brother brother, but it was a little sudden.Seeing Fengju and Hesun sitting in the room, very calm, he calmed down and said with a smile: "I heard that you went to Japan, when did you come back?" Liu Chunjiang said: " It's been a week since I came back. There are two friends here, do you know them? This is He Mengxiong, and this is Yu Jianer." When he said that, two friends in suits had already come forward to meet him.Yanxi said: "We know each other, we know each other." So they shook hands one by one.Yu Jian'er smiled and said, "You are a little surprised when we come here, right? Brother Chunjiang is very welcome in the family after returning to China. I heard it is very good. In fact, in this twentieth century, marriage issues only need the consent of the protagonist. It's not a problem. We persuaded him to leave the family as a relative, and he naturally agreed, and his wife..." When he said the word "Madam", his voice was extremely low, and he paused before continuing. : "I also want to come back and have a look. As soon as Brother Mengxiong and Brother Ling talked on the phone, Sister-in-law Ling immediately asked her to come. We are going ahead, and the Generalissimo will be here soon." As he spoke, he laughed.It was only then that Yanxi realized that Liu Chunjiang was considered a new relative today, but he said "Seventh Brother" in his head, but he came from here.Of course what he said was true, and he was happy to be a good person.Then he smiled and said: "Then we are very welcome. She... Mrs. Chunjiang, we are like brothers and sisters. It would be better... to get along with each other." Liu Chunjiang saw Yanxi talking so hesitantly, and felt that she would Forcing him to say that he was very embarrassed, turned around and talked to Fengju and Hesun.After all, the two big brothers are good at talking, they don't talk about Xiao Lian at all, they only talk about Japanese customs.After talking for a while, I only heard the sound of footsteps in the aisle outside, and some people were joking.Yanxi knew in her heart that this must be the female relatives, no one had introduced her before, so it was inconvenient to come in, so let's take a peek at this young master Liu, the handmaiden in love, what kind of person is he?Yanxi couldn't keep her composure when she heard someone shouting outside, so she slipped out while Liu Chunjiang and the big brothers were having a lively conversation.When I went outside to look, there were four people, Anan, Qiuxiang, Xiaoyu and Lan'er.Yanxi waved to them, stepped forward and asked, "What are you looking at? Are you a little unconvinced?" Xiaolan has always been honest and never dared to joke with the young master. After hearing this sentence, she blushed.Because there were people in the living room, Yanxi couldn't talk and laugh anymore.Yindi asked: "I was hoping that it was my sister-in-law who came out. It turned out to be you." Qiuxiang curled her mouth and said in a low voice: "Whatever Xiao Lian does now, she always escapes here as a maid, young mistresses. It's all right if you don't blame me, but can you still come to welcome her?" Yanxi shook her hand and said in a low voice, "Don't talk nonsense, don't talk nonsense." As she spoke, she pointed to the room.At this time, there was a horn at the door, which indicated that the car was coming.Ah Nan smiled and said, "Here we are." Holding Qiuxiang in one arm and Yu'er in the other, she ran outside.Yanxi walked out slowly.Before I got to the gate, I saw a young woman wearing a white background with red dotted flower gauze blouse, coming gracefully.Yanxi couldn't help thinking of seeing her wearing a flowered dress last year and laughing at her for being like a Guanyin master. Time is easy, personnel have changed drastically, and it is completely different from before.Xiao Lian was not as petty as before, when she saw Yanxi, she bowed to Yanxi with a smile and called Qi Ye.Yanxi was stunned, for a moment she didn't know what to call someone?Just smiled and nodded.Qiuxiang and her group couldn't be separated, they had already swarmed up, some were holding Xiao Lian's hand, some were holding Xiao Lian's skirt, they all surrounded and called you hello!But no one called her anything.Xiao Lian still yelled at her sister for a while, saying hello and agreeing, and everyone made a fuss for a while.So everyone surrounded her and walked up the room.This kind of intimacy is naturally indescribable.
