Dr. Wen played his cards well.But he couldn't make any effort: Yuhong was at the top, Yinxiang was at the bottom, and Mrs. Yang was at the opposite door; the six squinting eyes made him restless.Yes, from the mouths of those two "girls", he knew that they were the goddaughters of the old lady; but he wondered, why did the old lady only want such goddaughters?He was suffocated.From this matter, he doubted his marriage.He still hasn't recognized which girl Mr. Tang mentioned.He was anxious to see her, to see if she was as casual as Mrs. Yang with prostitutes.He simply couldn't put all his heart on his own cards.If that Ms. Yang is also so casual, what should he do?Can you give up on her casually?No, she probably couldn't.She must not be any of these women in front of her, she is a serious lady, she must not have come out yet.I really hope she comes out; it's fine if she doesn't come out, Miss can't easily come out to meet a stranger... Thinking about it over and over again, his cards can only maintain the proper rules, not exciting at all.After two laps, he still hasn't made a draw; the chips in his hand are gradually decreasing.He knew how empty his wallet was, he couldn't lose, and if he lost, he would win on the spot; this was the first time he came to Yang's house!You shouldn't sit down at all, why is it so easy to talk?However, if you are not so easy-going, how can you go further to propose?What if we lose?Chaos, chaos, he almost forgot to make up cards!This sadness and confusion reminded him of all the sufferings of the past.He really wanted to push the cards away with a bang. Who could coax three girls into playing this kind of trick, a majestic man?But it can't be done like this, absolutely not!Who knows how much good there is here?What's more, as long as you play with them, you can get benefits from playing!Be patient!He advised himself: Wait until you get the money in your hands.Losing this opportunity, he could only blame himself for being too impatient, "Dr. Wen, please be patient!" he called to himself in his heart.

It seemed to be a little brighter in front of my eyes, I grabbed a good card at random, put all my energy on it, and prayed in my heart: If this hand draws, there must be hope for things!After two rounds, the cards were indeed drawn!He couldn't help laughing.He didn't care about this hand of cards, what he was laughing at was why it was such a coincidence, it really came out just as soon as he prayed!There is hope, there is hope!While shuffling the cards, his hand touched Yinxiang's, and Yinxiang gave him a look.He said in his heart that even if it was Yinxiang that Mr. Tang introduced, he still had to ask for it.Money is everything, the wife is just a fool, whoever she is, what does she do!

Yes, according to American rules, with just this doctorate, he should fall in love, get married through love, and organize the most perfect little family. There are sofas, carpets and flowers in the living room.However, the rules of the United States can only work in the United States, and this is China.In China, the doctor has to sacrifice love, so what can be done, anyway, the problem is in China, and Dr. Wen is right.Yes, hold on to this whiteboard!Don't let go of the hanging list! "White board? Single hang!" Dr. Wen pushed the card, his eyes lit up. Another draw.Dr. Wen was reviewing the situation of this hand, and roughly decided how to play, Yuhong stood up: "Come on!" Dr. Wen quickly moved his eyes away from the cards, and followed Yuhong's eyeliner to look out.Yinxiang also stood up quickly: "Hit me!" Dr. Wen seemed to have not clearly seen the woman who made them all stand up. She was like a cat. Instead of walking, she held a chair and held it again. The table came to Yuhong's side, light and soft, as if she had no bones in her body, panting slightly beside Yuhong, her waist softened, and she sat reclined on the chair Going up, she glanced at Dr. Wen, and she quickly put her eyes on the card.

"This is Dr. Wen," Mrs. Yang played a card and said to the woman.She raised her eyelids, seeming to see but not seeing, she nodded roughly to him, with her body still leaning, she stretched out her hand to insert the card. "Miss Six," Mrs. Yang seemed to be introducing to Dr. Wen, without taking her eyes off the card. Miss Six turned around briskly and lazily. Dr. Wen almost forgot his cards again, trying to mobilize his eyes to see the sixth girl; it must be her?He guessed in his heart.From the attitudes of Yuhong and Yinxiang, he could tell that the sixth girl must have some identity, and it was probably her!Miss Six is ​​about twenty-one or twenty-two years old.The color of the face is slightly greenish, but it is not white.A kind of dull white, with some not ugly green shadows in the white.The skin is very thin, and because it is a little greenish, it is not obviously moisturized.The ears, eyes, mouth and nose are small and well-proportioned, but the expression is very sophisticated.This thin but not moist, white and greenish, petite and mature look makes it very difficult to guess her character and temper.She looks both very young and very old, the one with small nose and small eyes looks like an immature girl, while the one who curls her lips and snouts her nose looks like a sophisticated woman.The same is true of her movements, they are all very fast, but they all have a sluggish look, fast like a child, lazy like an old man, she seems to be tired of life in the developing period of her life, and all her movements are out of necessity. like.She really can't be considered ugly.But it's just so soft.Her clothes were of good material and well-fashioned, but a little untidy, as if she hadn't taken the time to tidy them up; her collar button was not fastened, and she showed a fine white neck.She doesn't talk much, and she doesn't laugh much.It took two or three hands of cards before Dr. Wen saw her smile once, very slowly and lazily.When she smiled, she showed a short black front tooth, which was shiny black and shiny.This black tooth seemed to be fixed in Dr. Wen's heart. He wanted to judge her personality from her appearance and clothing, but all he could see in his mind was this black tooth, a black one, black and smooth, not only not ugly, but On the contrary, it gave her some special charm, like a black spot on the wing of a white butterfly.From this tooth, he seems to see something, but it is very uncertain, she is young and old, soft and light, how can she be pure and stained, like that black tooth?He didn't dare to make such a decision, but he didn't dare to rest assured, his heart was very confused.He wanted to have a word or two with her, but he didn't know what to call her: "Ms. Yang" seemed appropriate, but he didn't know why he refused to use this title. "Six girls", he couldn't say it again.

Miss Liu played cards very fast and very strictly, but she didn't seem to pay much attention and effort.For a while she put her elbows on the table, as if she was going to lie on her stomach for a rest; for a while she lowered her head and closed her eyes slightly, as if she was sleepy, or impatient, as if everyone was playing too slowly. Dr. Wen felt that he had seen her enough, and he was too embarrassed to pin his eyes on her, so he began to focus on the cards again.After looking at a card on the ground, he glanced at her inadvertently. She was looking at him, fascinated, watching him with great attention but lazily.When his and her eyes met, she didn't rush at all, she was just so experienced and thoughtful, she still looked at him; he moved her eyes away first.Dr. Wen felt very uncomfortable.Sixth Miss's old-fashioned vigor is by no means what a young girl should be; maybe she lacks some insight, or does she have some heart disease?After a while, she put her elbows on the table again, as if she was thinking and writing while writing, she tilted her head and looked at him absent-mindedly.After being so stunned for a while, she suddenly smiled, and quickly pushed down all the cards with her wrist, and she won.She moved her elbows away to shuffle the cards, but she leaned over to put her feet towards him: white satin embroidered shoes.

After playing eight rounds of cards, Dr. Wen lost more than nine yuan.Everyone accepted the money unceremoniously, without even giving in.He had ten dollars with him, paid off his bills, and had only business cards in his wallet.But he didn't mind this very much, he just wanted to get to know Miss Six clearly.She stood up, her stature was not very short, but she was obviously short, she always seemed to have to support something to stand firmly, her body seemed to be curled up a bit, if there was someone next to her, she seemed to fall on that person , like a tender vine, always looking for someone to rely on.Holding the corner of the table with one hand, she stood crookedly, without speaking.Dr. Wen left, and Mrs. Yang seemed tired, so she didn't let him eat, although it was time to eat.Seeing him put the hat on, Miss Six took two steps forward briskly and softly. Instead of walking, she kneaded forward with her body and the soles of her feet. She was very light, but it seemed that she could fall down at any time. She sent Dr. Wen to the After coming out, Dr. Wen politely asked her to stop, but she didn't say anything, but her eyes were very bright, indicating that she still had to give him a few steps.When she reached the second door, she held the door and said, "Come and play!" Her voice was very low, but clear and powerful, with some hope, pleading, and sincerity in her voice, which made people feel She is very lonely, and she wishes to have visitors often.

Dr. Wen's heart was in turmoil.There was nothing particularly beautiful about Miss Six's appearance, and he knew he couldn't fall in love with her at first sight, like those love stories in movies.As for her attire, although it is very fashionable, the clothes are somewhat out of tune with the person: if she had braided hair and bound feet, it would be more appropriate.Even the clothes themselves didn't seem quite in tune, look at the white satin shoes--the whores'; put all that aside, he couldn't see what was going on with her at all.she lonely?So a big family, so rich and free, why lonely?Disadvantaged?Can she play cards so well?He couldn't figure it out.However, no matter how he couldn't guess her, he seemed unable to give up on her casually.This made him feel sad instead of puzzled.In his capacity, Doctor; as for Miss Six, at most she graduated from high school.This is too big a deal, where can he not find a college graduate?Putting qualifications aside, if it is really a union of love, love is everything for those who have graduated or not; but does he love this sixth girl or not?She made him uneasy, suspicious, never love.What to do?

However, the Yang family is indeed rich!He found another woman in his heart: educated, of the same age, and in love, but without money, if there is such a woman, who should he want?He can't decide.He had to make a quick decision, and he couldn't delay like this.Who do you want?He closed his eyes.I still have to have Miss Six, my future is everything, and everything else is false; only with money can I have a future! Having decided so, he tried to think about the benefits of Miss Six.Regardless of her knowledge, regardless of her aspirations, just treat her as a woman and see what benefits she has.She is not outstanding, but she can see it well, and she will definitely not be unable to show her hands.Besides, the girl from the rich family has seen the formation, and she will never show off like the daughter of the small family (cut).Her attitude, even if it is not lovable, is pitiful: she is so soft, as if she always needs someone to support and hug her.She must be madly in love with her husband, sticking to him like a piece of jellybean with a sweet taste.In his eyes, he saw a future version of her, Dr. Wen's wife: a little fatter; the green color on her face faded, and her body became white; wearing high-heeled shoes, she also took off a lot; such a wife, It's enough to walk hand in hand with him and love him passionately.A wife is always a wife, so what else?Besides, if she copied a hundred cases in one sentence, she would definitely bring him money and power; well, that's it!If there's a flaw in this thing, it's that it lacks a love story, he thought.It's easy to make up for, though.Ask her out to have fun; even if she refuses to come out, or if she is not allowed to come out at home, he can still go to her often; as long as he can talk a few times, Dr. Wen will always be satisfied with his love affair of.In this way, he thought about it carefully, and he didn't lack anything.
