Chapter 107 The one hundred and fifth chapter proudly makes Huajiao's wealthy family knock down at night and disappears, shocking the house and closing the old alley

With all her strength, Yanxi ran to Bai's house.Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the gate, the concierge's mouth was quick, and the first sentence greeted him and asked: "Why did Master Qi come by a foreign car today?" , or come by car in the future.I thought about it all the way, and walked in all the way.The Bai family is very familiar now, just go in, and there is no need for any notification.Walking down the corridor of the upper room, I met Bai Xiuzhu directly.Yanxi lowered her head and never saw anyone.Xiuzhu laughed first and said, "What's on your mind? When you came to my house, you still kept your head down and thought about it." Yanxi raised her head and smiled, "I saw something on the street, so I kept thinking about it. " Xiuzhu said: "What's the matter? It's so intriguing." Yanxi thought for a while and smiled: "It's okay not to say." Come and sit in her small study, past this small study is Xiuzhu's bedroom, where Yanxi has not been invited in for a year.Yanxi suddenly saw that she was being given special treatment today, but she didn't know what the intention was, but when he wanted to cooperate with her, it was gratifying to be so close to her.Sitting down, first sighed.Xiuzhu said: "You are really following that superstitious saying. Now is your bad luck. If your house catches fire, you have nothing to lose, but burned down a few houses you live in." Yanxi said: " Cough! This may be in line with that sentence, there is no escape in the calamity." Xiuzhu said: "This is wrong. It's not that you have suffered a calamity or a disaster, how can you mention the sentence that there is no escape in the calamity ?" Yanxi supported her head with one hand, sat leaning against the chair, and sighed slightly.Xiuzhu said: "I heard that besides things, there are other losses, is it true?" Yanxi nodded, and suddenly asked: "Don't you know?" How could I know about it?" Yanxi smiled and said, "You don't know about my family, why did you call to comfort me yesterday?" Xiuzhu said, "According to what you said, I'm troublesome, so I'm going to comfort you Is it broken?" Yanxi heard that, she quickly stood up and bowed to Xiuzhu a few times.He laughed and said: "It's really my fault. I didn't even know whether it was good or bad. I offended you with words. I'm here to apologize to you." After Xiuzhu had spoken, her face was tense.After Yanxi made two bows, she also smiled, and immediately tensed her face again.Yanxi said: "Are you still angry with me?" Xiuzhu said: "I can't be so ignorant of good and evil? People say good things to me, and I blame them." Yanxi felt that Xiuzhu's words , still scolding herself, but when she had to ask a few more questions, Xiuzhu would be even more angry.Because of this, he smiled at Xiuzhu and sat aside.Xiuzhu remained silent, Yanxi also remained silent, and the room fell silent.After all, Xiuzhu couldn't bear it, so she said: "You came here at night, you must do something?" Yanxi said: "It's nothing." How could you run here?" Yanxi smiled at her and said, "What don't you understand? We haven't seen each other for two or three days, so please excuse me and call several times to comfort me. I should come to see you and thank you." Xiuzhu smiled and said, "Is this the thing? You are too polite." After hearing her voice and looking at her color, Yanxi felt that she was the boss's dissatisfaction. Comfortable.But like a year ago, when she had something to say, she pushed him back, but now she doesn't have the courage.However, if he didn't push back and make amends with her again, he was a bit unwilling, so he sat on the back of the chair, crossed his right leg, and just shook it, as if meditating on something.Seeing Yanxi's uncomfortable look, Xiuzhu said, "You've already had dinner, do you want a drink?" Seeing her talking, Yanxi already had a smile on her face, so she followed suit. , then said: "No need to trouble." Xiuzhu said: "It doesn't cost anything?" Yanxi laughed and said: "I have a kind of misinterpretation, thinking that I come to the house, it's best for you alone to know, don't Let everyone pay attention. If you want to eat and drink again after you come here, you will be disturbed in all directions, and I feel very tasteless." Xiuzhu smiled and said: "I will say that I criticized you again later. Make friends every day, come once a year, not seeing each other is rare, once a day, not seeing each other closely, it depends on how you get along with each other? Why are you here, and only I am the only one to know? And as soon as you enter the gate, The concierge saw it, and it would be impossible for you not to let others know. I was a little unhappy when I heard what you said." As he spoke, his face immediately became rigid again.Yanxi really didn't expect Xiuzhu to get angry so easily. If she refuted her, she was afraid that there would be a rift in her friendship. If she apologized to her, she would be really unwilling.In an instant, several thoughts came up in my mind, but I still held back my breath and didn't say a word.Seeing that he was silent again, Xiuzhu smiled and said, "Why are you so gentle now?" Yanxi said, "I don't have Chinese ink or Western ink in my stomach, how can I be gentle? These two days, I've been out of my mind, Half of them have become idiots. We talked about everything. I burned all my things. I thought about the future. Next, what else do I have to be happy to be able to jump up?" After hearing his words, Xiuzhu saw his worried look, and couldn't bear to embarrass him again.Then he reached out and grabbed his hand, shook it, and said with a smile, "I was just kidding with you, what are you in a hurry for? If there is anything difficult for you, I am willing to help." Yanxi waited for a long time Because of this opportunity, I got a little time to talk, and Xiuzhu held on to her hand, expressing her sincerity, so she smiled and said to her: "You are my good friend after all, if others see me worrying, who will say a word of help? Begging him, he still pushes back and forth. It's only your generosity, I don't need to say anything, I think you have already won the bet." Xiuzhu smiled and said: "It's not that I won the bet , but you and I have known each other for many years, and we know each other's situation. First, you have nothing to do, and second, it is more difficult for your savings to be burned now. Besides, your... "Yanxi shook her hands wildly: "Why did you mention her again?" Xiuzhu glanced at him, was silent for a while, and said with a smile: "This is your fault. Could it be that she and you have been married for a year, and still have a relationship?" A child, she left as soon as she said she was going, isn't she not moved at all? Don't think that she is my rival in love, and I don't want you to show any pity for her. In fact, it is not the case. Now that she is gone, it means that she is in my hands. If you fail in the future, one person is afraid of another person, that's it, what else can I do to her? To say something sinful, she really committed suicide, and it's okay if she brings a child To find a living, she is from a poor background and has no economic strength, how can she maintain it? According to you, she has a bit of old morality, and this society, which refuses to mess around, can accommodate a well-behaved Is the woman going to make a living?" Yanxi smiled and said, "You are very considerate of her." Xiuzhu said: "I am not a bad-hearted person, public is public, private is private." Yanxi said: "I would like to ask for advice." , What is public? What is private?" Xiuzhu smiled.After the two talked, their relationship became better, their voices became smaller, and they chatted for a long time.Because Xiuzhu heard someone's footsteps outside the house, she thought it was servants passing by, so she said loudly: "Look at me, I talk without end. I said I'll give you a drink. Now I will drink this I forgot about it." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to ring the electric bell for the servant.Yanxi stretched out her hand to cover the electric bell, and said with a smile, "We understand each other. I said you don't need to drink. It's definitely not polite. Of course you don't need to drink. Why are you being polite with me?" Xiuzhu pinched Yanxi back. He slapped him, smiled at him, and said, "After talking for a long time, you still maintain your attitude. Then, I won't call them. You go back early, and I will call a car to take you." Yanxi said: "No need. Order Brother's car, I don't know when I will use it, I sit out when I have nothing to do, and it will delay his serious business." Xiuzhu said: "He is not feeling well today, he has already slept." Yanxi said: "He just doesn't need it. , I don’t ride in his car either. He has already said that I shouldn’t ride in a car. It doesn’t make sense for me to let go of my own car and sit in his car instead.” Xiuzhu glanced at him and smiled. Said: "You are a little afraid of him, so why?" Yanxi blushed and said, "It's not that I'm afraid of him. What he said is really reasonable. What can I say? I'm leaving, see you tomorrow." Xiuzhu Because he had something to say to each other, he nodded with a smile, held his hand, and walked out of the small study all the way.Yanxi stopped, showing a very hesitant look, because she said in a low voice, "That's my business. If you have any news, you can tell me anytime." The hand holding Xiuzhu tightened. , expressing sincerity.Xiuzhu nodded to him with a smile, and said with a smile: "I know, you can rest assured." While talking, Yanxi sent her to the heavy door, and said with a smile: "You don't have to be polite. Do we still have to make a distinction based on this cliché?" Xiuzhu smiled and said, "I didn't do it on purpose, as if I didn't give you a few steps like this, I would be insincere."

Yanxi couldn't understand what she said, but her heart was anesthetized immediately, and then she walked out of the gate with a smile, and still hired a car to go home.Sitting in the car, I kept thinking about how to go to Germany to work, how to live with Xiuzhu, and how to go to a foreign country, to change my mind and do my own business, not to be like in Beijing and be confused.He thought so, and when he got home, he went straight from the gate to the courtyard, and went back to his Ersong Pavilion.Unexpectedly, when we reached the gate of the courtyard, it was pitch black, and there was no electric light. When we suddenly looked up, we saw the sky full of stars. It turned out that the house had been burnt down, and only the courtyard was left with broken bricks and tiles.Only then did I remember that there was a big fire.So he turned around and walked to his study.Because we had been talking at Xiuzhu's house for a long time, I felt a little hungry and wanted to eat something, so I rang the bell and called Jin Rong in.Jin Rong said: "You just came back at this time, the old lady has been looking for you several times." Yanxi said: "Anyway, I'm tired of listening to those few words, I'm hungry, go to the kitchen and see what's there Is there anything to eat?" Jin Rong said: "A person went to the kitchen today, and there is nothing else to prepare except two meals of rice and one meal of porridge." Yanxi said: "Is there no porridge at this time?" Jin Rong said: "Porridge I just drove past, I don't know if there are any more? I'll take a look." Yanxi said, "There's no need to look. With these few words, I'm full enough. What else do I have to eat? I'm going to sleep soon. After finishing speaking, he threw his clothes on the bed, moved his feet, took off his shoes, and dragged the pillow to rest his head.Seeing him like this, Jin Rong was full of complaints, so it was inconvenient to chatter here, so he turned around and went out to close the door for him.Lying on the bed alone, Yanxi couldn't help but patted the bed several times with her hands, thinking in her heart that this family is really going from bad to worse, and that they won't be able to eat snacks at night, it's the end of the road.Thinking of this, he turned around and fell asleep like this.

When I woke up, it was still midnight.The electric lights hanging in the room were bright and white, and there were bursts of cold air coming in from the window screens. When I fell asleep, I felt that it was a sheet, so I hurriedly got up and closed the windows.However, when the person blocked the window and closed the window outward, it happened that there was another strong gust of cool wind blowing towards him.People who wake up from sleep for the first time are physically tired, and they don't feel shivering, so they have to lie down again.At that time, I didn't feel much, but when it was dawn, when I was about to raise my head, I felt groggy, and I couldn't lift it up. At the same time, there was an unspeakable depression in my chest, and I felt that it would be pleasurable to vomit it out. .So he leaned on the edge of the bed, no matter whether he was facing the spittoon or not, he vomited on the ground.After vomiting, I turned over and felt a little better.However, it was too early at this time, and the whole family hadn't gotten up yet. He vomited for a while, but no one knew about it. There was a foul smell in his nose, which was very unpleasant. At the same time, his mouth was dry and bitter, and he wanted to rinse with water. Mouth, have another cup of tea.However, the electric bell was not in front of the bed, and he could neither get up nor press it.He called out twice, but no one answered.At this time, I hated it very much. Such a family is not as comfortable as staying in a hotel. If everyone wants to break up, I will leave too.Yanxi was furious on the bed alone, who in his family knew?Still quietly.After waiting for more than an hour, I heard footsteps in the corridor.Yanxi couldn't help but scolded: "At least someone has returned the sun, I'm really mad!" The outsider replied: "Qiye, you woke up so early? What do you want?" As he spoke, he opened the door and walked in. , it turned out to be Li Sheng.Yanxi said: "If I died last night, I'm afraid someone won't collect the body until this morning. I was sick last night, and no one paid any attention to it. Look at the bedside, I vomited so much." , pointed his hand to the bottom of the bed, and when Li Sheng saw it, he said, "What's wrong with you? Don't mess around." When he said that, his eyes met Yanxi's face, paying attention looking at.Yanxi said: "Do you think I was so anxious to take the poison? No matter what, I can't do that. I got up in the middle of the night and closed the window, and I got a cool breeze. My mouth is so thirsty, go get me some saliva first." Drink it." Li Sheng was talking, his eyes were still looking at Yanxi's face, he nodded and said in agreement: "Okay! I'll ask Jin Rong to clean up the house for you, and I'll get water myself." Li Sheng Walking out of the study door, without calling Jin Rong first, he ran straight to the upper room.Just in time to meet Second Sister Chen, she suddenly asked, "Is the old lady awake? Master Qi is not feeling well." After speaking, he turned and walked out.Second Sister Chen was also surprised to see him coming and going in such a hurry.Quickly ran to the house, walked up to Mrs. Jin's bed and shouted: "Old lady, get up quickly, is Mr. Qi not feeling well? Go and have a look." Mrs. Jin was awakened by her, turned over and sat up stand up.Looking at her, he said, "Who do you think is sick?" Second Sister Chen said, "Just now Li Sheng ran in, saying that Master Qi was not feeling well, and ran without saying a word. Probably..." Mrs. Jin listened Said, without asking for details, after getting dressed, he hurried out.He only walked to the door of Yanxi's study, and asked first, "Lao Qi, what's wrong with your health? Is it not important?" As he spoke, he walked into the room quickly.At this time, Jin Rong was sweeping the floor in the room, Li Sheng brought a pot of tea, poured a cup, and put it in front of the bed.Don't ask whether Yanxi is sick or not, but it definitely looks like a disease.Yin said: "Son, what's the matter with you? Don't mess around!" Yanxi said: "It's weird, I don't feel well, how do you know? It's okay, I just took a breath of cool wind and suffered a little. It's just a cold." Although Mrs. Jin didn't quite believe what he said, she stepped forward again, touched Yanxi's forehead with her hand, sat on the edge of the bed, lowered her head, and looked at his expression. Then he turned his face and asked Jin Rong: "Look at Qi Ye's situation, what's wrong?" Jin Rong said: "It was one o'clock last night, and Qi Ye wanted to eat some snacks, but there is none in the kitchen, and he is in good spirits." Before I got up today, Mr. Li came to tell me that Mr. Qi was not feeling well, how would I know?" Mrs. Jin laughed and said, "In this way, he is sick from gluttony. How can such a thing happen? ?” As soon as Mrs. Jin said, everyone laughed.Seeing Yanxi's smiling face, Mrs. Jin guessed that what he said was true but that she just had a cold, which relieved her worries.Then he stood up and said: "As long as you really have a cold, it doesn't matter, you can lie on the bed for a while, and one more thing, don't eat. I haven't washed my face yet, I'll come back later You go. Jin Rong, take care of him a little bit." As he spoke, he walked out of the room slowly, and when he reached the door, he turned around and said, "Lao Qi, don't move around, just lie down." Second Sister Chen Because Mrs. Jin didn't wash up, she ran out in a hurry to see Qi Ye's illness, and she followed to see, what's going on?I stood outside the door and listened for a long time.When Mrs. Jin came out, she smiled and said: "You really love your children. These young masters, who are not the ones who have children? But you still care about them so much." Mrs. Jin sighed Said: "It's only my fault that my heart is too kind. Who among my children cares about me so much?" Second Sister Chen said with a smile: "You are complaining like this again. As long as any young master has something to do, you don't know what to do. Okay?" Mrs. Jin smiled when she heard that.After walking back to the room, Second Sister Chen was busy carrying tea and water, while talking with Mrs. Jin.

Mrs. Jin drank a cup of tea and sat quietly for a while, but after all she couldn't hold back, she got up again and walked to Yanxi's study.By this time he was up.He took a thin blanket to cover the lower half, and lay reclined on a sofa.He still had a cigarette in his mouth, and he was reading a newspaper with both hands comfortably.Mrs. Jin said: "Look at your child, you're all fine now, and I was so shocked." Yanxi put down the newspaper, then stretched out her feet to the floor to step on her shoes.Mrs. Jin shook her hands again and again and said: "You and I stick to these etiquettes, as long as you are less dissolute and let me worry less, everything is enough. Are you feeling better now?" Yanxi said: "What's the matter? Are you still dizzy?" Mrs. Jin said: "Since your head is dizzy, why are you still smoking and reading newspapers?" Yanxi said: "How can I read newspapers? I will look for newspapers, and I will Did Qingqiu reply to the notice you posted?" Mrs. Jin said: "You are stupid, she has nowhere to communicate, if there is a reply, wouldn't she write a letter? Why spend that money and post an advertisement? "Yanxi said: "I think so too, but since our announcement was published, she has not made any noise. I guess there must be some reason for this, so I looked for it in the newspaper. Maybe she has some reactions. She is a person who has to read newspapers every day to enjoy herself, and the newspapers I published are all newspapers she often reads, so she must have seen our advertisement." Mrs. Jin said: " It’s strange to say that, it’s been three days today, and your mother-in-law has never been here again. Her mother and daughter are dependent on each other. Could it be that such an older daughter ran away, and she, like you, ignored it. Can't you ask?" Yanxi said: "I can't admit what you said, why should I ignore it?" Mrs. Jin said: "We don't need to raise these arguments ourselves, I just ask you, you Have you inquired about Leng's family in private?" Yanxi said: "Why am I inquiring? If he doesn't come to me, should I go to him instead?" Mrs. Jin said: "Look! Listen to what you say, you Just don't worry too much. My child, don't be confused. There is no such thing as an easy settlement in the world. If you ignore him, maybe he is planning a trick to move your hands. Wait until someone's hammer hits your head, and then think about it It will be too late if there is no way to recover." After hearing this, Yanxi thought it was reasonable.Mrs. Leng and Qingqiu are very dear to each other. If Qingqiu is lost, she will lose half of her life. There is absolutely no reason for her to let the Jin family go and not seek someone from the Jin family.Since there is no such reason, he must be thinking of some way to play tricks on the Jin family.So he clapped his hands on his legs and said: "What mother said is very correct. I will go to her house immediately and have a look. If she expresses anything, we will try to deal with her." Mrs. Jin said: "You My child, I always have this temper. If I don't like to do something, I am not afraid to extend it to the anniversary half a year. If I want to do something, I will do it immediately." Yanxi said: "It's not that I said that I want to do it." I just do it, but when I think of this incident, I have a big knot in my heart, and I have to get rid of it." Mrs. Jin said: "It's not a knot tied up today, why are you so busy today that you want to get rid of it immediately?" Yanxi He said: "I don't know what the reason is. It would be unpleasant not to do so. I'll have something to eat and go in the morning. I still have a car. I took the car to go. Although there is something wrong with it, it doesn't matter much." Jin The wife said: "I also know your problem. If you want to go, go first. Who let us be unreasonable? After seeing your mother-in-law, you have to say a few words well, don't add fuel to the flames, and cause trouble again. Please come." Yanxi agreed, then rang the bell to call Jin Rong in, and offered him something to eat.Mrs. Jin saw that he was not feeling well, and she had something to do in the room, so she left first.

When Yanxi sees Mrs. Jin leaving, how can she sit still?I grabbed a long gown from the hanger, and I didn't have time to put on the hat. I put it on, buttoned it up, and walked out.When he arrived at the gate, he called De Hai to drive. The car drove from the garage to the gate. As soon as it stopped, Yanxi opened the door and got in the car. He knocked on the glass and said, "Go! Go!" De Hai replied. Turning his head, he asked, "Where are you going? If you don't say anything, where am I going?" Yanxi said, "Leng's house in Shangluohua Hutong. Don't you often go there? What else don't you know?" Dehai knew Qi Ye got angry, so he didn't want to ask more questions, so he drove the car and came straight to Luohua Hutong.Yanxi was in the car, full of worries, and when she saw Mrs. Leng, she was ready to say something.Unexpectedly, the car drove to the door of Leng's house, and saw that the doors were closed tightly in the car.Yanxi jumped out of the car in a hurry, and was about to ring the doorbell, when suddenly a red note came into view, but she couldn't help being surprised, it turned out that there was a word "for rent" on it.It turned out that the electric light wire leading to the outside was also cut off, and the button of the electric bell was also missing, so I had to knock on the door with my hands.After patting several times, an old man came out to open the door, and asked Yanxi, "Is this the house inspector?" Yanxi said, "I'm not inspecting the house, I'm here to visit friends. So the people who live here Leng's family, where did you move now?" The old man shook his head and said, "I can't say that, I'm looking at the house." Yanxi said: "When did the Leng's family move out, you always know, right? "The old man said: "I came to see the house yesterday. I don't know anything about the past." As he said, he was about to close the door with both hands.Yanxi saw that this stubborn old man seemed to have nothing to say to him.I thought to myself, the door is closed here, and the house next door to the Poetry Society was rented out by Qiu Xizhen's family, why not go to Qiu's house to ask.So instead of taking a car, I walked around to the circle alley.The rickshaws parked at the entrance of the alley, and those rickshaw drivers parked here all the year round, doing business with regular customers.At this moment, when they saw Yanxi walking, two or three people yelled, one talkative rushed forward, greeted Yanxi, and said with a smile: "Qi Ye, long time no see, how are you? Yanxi nodded, walked a few steps, turned around again, and asked: "Our relatives moved, did you pull the cart?" The coachman said: "We don't need us when we move. We didn't see you." Yanxi wanted to inquire again, but she knew that these coachmen were fast-talking, and it was not good to let them know why, so she nodded and walked away.Yanxi turned to the side of Quanzi Hutong, and saw that the gate of Qiu's house was also tightly closed.It turned out that there was a bright bronze plaque at the gate, engraved with the word Qiu Yu, but now the plaque is gone.It's just that where the signboard was originally nailed, there is still an imprint of the nailed signboard, and under that imprint, there is also a red letter for rent posting.In this way, it is of course an empty house, so there is no need to go up and knock on the door.I planned to ask the coachman to ask, but I was afraid that the coachman would see through the situation and the news would leak out, which had something to do with decency.After hesitating for a while, the car chased him from the alley next door.Yanxi thought, it's not good to ask around in front of the driver.He paid for the car and drove to the entrance of the alley to wait, walking slowly by himself, just lost in thought.Suddenly someone called Qi Ye from behind, and he called over, but when he looked at it, it was Wang Desheng, the caretaker.He rushed forward to greet him, and said with a smile, "I don't see you." Yanxi frowned and said, "My family is unlucky. The Prime Minister passed away, so I don't go out very often. After the house was handed over to the Qiu family, they are not short. Is it the rent?" Wang Desheng said with a smile, "Qi Ye introduced me, is that wrong? Why did the Qiu family leave last month when they said they were going back to the South?" Yanxi then knew that Qiu Xizhen's family had returned home. south.Then he laughed and said, "When they left, I was inconvenient to go out. I don't know why." Wang Desheng said, "Why is your old lady so busy? On the first day I leave the house, and when I arrive on the second day They moved away in two days?" Yanxi didn't know the details when he heard his voice, so she pretended to ask him a question and asked him to guess, because she said, "Do you know where they moved?" Wang Desheng said, "Say They moved out of the big city, I don’t think so?” Yanxi was talking to him, but saw the rickshaw puller parked by the street, he was very careful, and afraid of revealing his feet, he just nodded with a smile.Wang Desheng couldn't figure out what his intention was.After saying a few words, he left.Yanxi walked around the alley alone for a while, but couldn't get any results, so she had to turn out of the alley, got in a car, and left dejectedly.
