Chapter 3 Chapter 1 Beauty

That night, Bai Su and I came home from a busy day outside, the car stopped at the door, Bai Su went into the house, I parked the car better, and then I heard Hong Ling's call from inside the house.Hong Ling yelled, and she was still talking, but the sound was too loud, so she couldn't hear clearly, but from her voice, it could be heard that she was very excited. For this situation, I am not surprised, Hong Ling's temperament is very straightforward, easy to get excited blindly, if she suddenly becomes melancholy, that would be a surprise. I parked the car and walked into the house. Hong Ling was pulling Bai Su and was still talking. I couldn't hear what she was saying for a while, but Bai Su was holding a big business card in his hand. The ordinary format book is even bigger, and the business card is stamped with a fist-sized, bright red seal, which is a simple, elegant, vigorous and powerful "white" character.

When I saw this business card, I couldn't help being very excited and shouted, "Hong Ling, is your grandpa here?" As soon as the words were out of my mouth, Bai Su glared at me. I immediately knew that I was wrong. If Boss Bai came, he was at the home of his daughter and son-in-law, why bother to send a business card! Moreover, Boss Bai attaches great importance to his business card and will never use it lightly. I have seen that seal before. The seal was made by Mr. Qi Huang. It is said that after the master carved it, he sighed in the classics: "There is a word 'white' in my name. I have carved this word 'white' countless times. There is no one like this!"

So it is well known. And the color of the seal on the paper is so bright and vivid, as if it will jump up at any time, and it is also thanks to the ink pad he used. The ink pad was given to Bai by Miss Chen from her military governor's father's study back then. The oldest one, its color has not changed for decades, and it is not known what ingredients it is made of. I made a face to Bai Su, expressing that I was wrong, and then I saw some words written on the back of the business card, so I speculated again: "But who did the old man introduce to us?" This time I guessed right, before Bai Su answered, Hong Ling threw herself in front of me and shouted: "Here comes a beautiful aunt! That aunt..."

Then she kept describing how beautiful "that aunt" was.At this time, Bai Su handed Boss Bai's business card to me, and I took it in my hand. Looking at the two lines of Boss Bai's flamboyant words on the business card, it said: "Introduce the daughter of an old friend. If you have any request, please do your best." .” I was taken aback for a moment, and looked at Bai Su, who shook his head, expressing that he didn't know who the "old friend's daughter" that Boss Bai was talking about was. The first thing that came to my mind was that the "daughter of an old friend" that Boss Bai called and the "pretty aunt" that Hong Ling said must have a lot of background, otherwise Boss Bai would not use him so easily. Shot of specialty business cards.But even Bai Su was at a loss, which seemed strange.

When I was thinking, Bai Su looked at me: "I can't think of who that person is, you can also think about it." I just wanted to say "Boss Bai's old friend, I am not very familiar with it, and I can't think of it even if I think about it." Bai Su seemed to know what I was going to say, and before I could say anything, he handed a note to my hands. The note was folded into a very peculiar shape of "Fang Sheng", and I felt a sudden bump in my heart when I saw it--I am very familiar with this strange folding method, it was when I was a teenager, and a few good friends Only a few of us know what we create, and the purpose is just for fun. Young people always like to have something unique to themselves, and I am no exception.

So when I saw the note, I immediately thought of a few friends from my teenage years, and I couldn't be sure which one it was for a while. As I took the note, I glanced at Bai Su. In this glance, at least two questions have been included: Who wrote the note.What did you write? Bai Su didn't answer, but just motioned me to look at the note, and only then did I see that the note said: "Dearly, A Li". As soon as I saw these four words, I couldn't help but "ah", and immediately said: "It's iron egg!" Although General Tie Dan Tie is not the only person who calls me this nickname, I can recognize his handwriting.

I took a breath, and my thoughts changed: Who is this woman here? Not only can he find Boss Bai and make him write a letter of introduction for her, but he can also make him completely disillusioned, jump out of the secular world, become disheartened, and never again. Tiedan, who manages world affairs, also wrote letters of introduction for her, so it can be said that she has great powers. At this time, Hong Ling was still muttering about that "beautiful aunt", saying: "I seem to have seen this beautiful aunt before!" Bai Su and I glared at her at the same time──We had the same thought at the time, even we didn't know who the visitor was, how could you child have seen her before!

Of course, we later realized that our thinking was wrong. From this, we can see that many things we think must be the case, but the fact is not necessarily the case. If our own thinking is regarded as inevitable, we will make mistakes. At that moment, Hong Ling didn't dare to say anything more. I used a very skilled technique to disassemble "Fang Sheng". To disassemble Fang Sheng folded by this special method, you must have certain skills, otherwise it will be easily torn. torn paper. After it was opened, the paper read "Ali: The daughter of an old friend, if you have any unfeeling requests, please agree as much as possible, and please talk to her about everything. Egg."

I saw it, and couldn't help being angry and funny: "It's so funny, I don't even have a name, and I'm the 'daughter of an old friend', and I know it's an unfeeling favor, and I'm asked to do my best. Isn't this a difficult thing for someone to force you to do?" Bai Su glared at me: "The two letters of introduction are all written by your closest people. They are also the people who know you best. If you write them like this, there must be their reasons. You don't know that they have It's too much to complain if I beg you for anything!"

Regarding Bai Su's accusation, I have nothing to say, so I can only say: "It seems that the father of this person is a mutual friend of Boss Bai and Tie Dan—it's hard to imagine that these two are completely different, as if they live in two worlds." People in the middle will have mutual friends!" Bai Su obviously agrees with my statement and nodded, but she said: "I can't say it's completely impossible..." I said, "Try an example to explain it." Bai Su thought for a while: "There is a martial arts master, nicknamed 'Thunder Nine Heavens'──"

I said "ah": "'Lei Dong Jiu Tian' Lei Jiu Tian!" Bai Su nodded: "This Mr. Lei was originally a figure in the world, but he joined the army later, so it is possible that he is someone both Dad and General Tie know." This Mr. Lei is a very outstanding martial arts master with a noble personality. In the story of Dr. Yuan Zhenxia, ​​I know that he used to be Hai Tang, Huang Chan, Hibiscus, Liu Xu, Shui Xi... their martial arts teacher: also It is extremely great to know that he died to save people.If the visitor is his descendant, of course I have a duty to do so, no matter how difficult the situation is, I will do my best. And at this moment, Hong Ling interrupted: "No, that beautiful aunt's surname is not Lei, her surname is Yu." Bai Su and I looked at Hong Ling together, and saw her smiling and sly, obviously she knew a lot about the visitor, but she didn't intend to tell us straightforwardly, but asked us to guess. I found it funny and criticized her first: "You don't have to add the adjective 'beautiful' every time you mention her!" Hong Ling refused to accept: "This beautiful aunt is indeed very beautiful!" I said: "Your mother must be more beautiful, don't you have to call 'beautiful mother' every time?" When Bai Su saw me say this about Hong Ling, she was obviously very interested in seeing how Hong Ling would respond, but Hong Ling didn't even think about it, and said, "Mom is Mom: every time I call Mom, I also have adjectives in my heart. It's just that I didn't say it. And my mother is beautiful, which is different from that aunt's." For a moment, I had nothing to say, because I couldn't draw a clear line between "beautiful" and "beautiful", and I didn't know what standard Hongya used to divide beauty and beauty. The reason why Hong Ling knew the lady's surname was Yu, of course, was because she had a conversation with the visitor. She wanted to test our ability to speculate, so of course I couldn't ask her for an answer. I glanced at Bai Su first, Bai Su frowned, also thinking. I thought about it for a while, and thought of a person from the iron egg.I said: "The surname 'Yu' is quite unpopular. In the history of modern warfare, at the same time as General Tie, there was a fierce general with the surname Yu and his name was Yu Fang. , He has experienced many battles, he has been wounded, has one eye and one arm, he is a legendary figure, could it be his daughter?" Hong Ling applauded loudly and applauded vigorously, obviously I guessed it right. Bai Su looked puzzled, and said: "I know this general—not long after conquering the world, his fate was worse than that of General Tie. It is said that he was tied to a post and starved to death." I said: "It's not just a rumor, it's a fact! Not only was he starved to death, but he was also beaten to death—there was a definite report that was proud of at the time, which clearly recorded that he broke four of his limbs during the torture. Copperhead belt!" Hong Ling kept blinking her eyes when she listened to what Bai Su and I were talking about, obviously she didn't understand how such a thing could happen in the world at the time she was living in! It would take a lot of time to explain such a thing to her, so I gestured to Hong Ling that I would tell her the details in the future. Bai Su heaved a sigh of relief, obviously sighing at such a thing.She was still puzzled, and said, "But Dad doesn't know this general!" Hong Ling smiled and said, "Think about the reason." I was just about to ask Hong Ling not to waste our time, but Bai Su laughed and said, "It's very simple, your grandfather knows the mother of the visitor." Hong Ling laughed loudly: "It's that simple!" I also find it funny--a very simple question, but if you get into the corner, it will become very complicated and difficult to figure out. To put it bluntly, there is no mystery. But there is still a problem, what kind of woman is the visitor's mother, who will have friendship with Boss Bai, so that Boss Bai is willing to write such a letter of introduction. I looked at Hong Ling, because only she had seen the visitor, and naturally only she could know the real identity of the visitor. At this time, Bai Su was also thinking about which lady among Boss Bai's old friends could make him write such a letter of introduction, which obviously didn't make sense. Hong Ling said: "Then... my aunt talked to me a lot, but she was the one who was asking and I was answering. She didn't say anything about herself, nor did she say why she came, she was just leaving When you are here, give me these two letters of introduction and ask me to pass them on." Bai Su and I frowned as we listened, both felt very uncomfortable——according to what Hong Ling said, the visitor was obviously protecting herself, but at the same time, he was bullying children. Hong Ling is natural, she doesn't know the dangers of the world, and she doesn't know the treacherous people. The visitor originally wanted something from me, so she should have explained to Hong Ling her intention and origin, but instead she let her know about Hong Ling and our relationship. many things. I knew it must be because the visitor's appearance was very flattering, and Hong Ling had a good impression of her, so she, who had no intentions in the first place, was even more unguarded. I took a breath: "Didn't she even say her own name?" Hong Ling said: "Yes, I opened the door, and as soon as I asked who came, she immediately announced her name!" I couldn't help being annoyed and funny: "You already knew her name, why do you still only call her beautiful aunt?" Hong Ling replied naturally: "She is indeed a beautiful aunt!" Bai Su made a gesture to me, signaling me not to entangle Hong Ling on this issue, she said to Hong Ling: "When you asked who came, you must not have seen clearly who came, right? " Hongya nodded. When the doorbell rang, Hong Ling rushed to the door, opened the door, and shouted, "Who is here!" She didn't know that her voice was loud, so when the door opened, she saw the person who was standing at the door stepping back again and again. Hong Ling saw that it was a very beautiful woman, so beautiful that she opened her mouth wide in an instant, unable to make a sound.You must know that Hong Ling has no feeling for the beauty of women, and the women she has seen, from her mother to Lan Si, Hibiscus, Shui Hong, etc., are all outstanding beauties. You can imagine how beautiful she is when she is tongue-tied in just one meeting. At this time, the visitor had come to his senses amidst Hong Ling's loud shouts, and smiled naturally without saying a word: "My surname is Yu, and my first name is. This is Miss Hong Ling!" Hong Ling looked at the other party, knowing that the other party was much older than herself, but she still said: "I am Hong Ling, so please come in, Miss." Perhaps because of the influence of the other party, when Hong Ling opened her mouth, she was extremely refined, and the visitor smiled brightly: "I'm still a girl, it's almost as good as you call me aunt!" Hong Ling immediately changed her words: "Beautiful aunt, please come in. Parents are not here, so it's the same if you have anything to say to me." This lady with a very special name, Yu, entered the room, sighed, and said, "I have something to do, and I need your father's help." Hong Ling had a great affection for him, and she actually betrayed her father. She said: "My father is not very willing to agree to his request for help. Why don't we talk about it first? Let's discuss it and see how we can make him not refuse. .” So she laughed, and hugged Hong Ling tightly: "My child, you are so cute!" Then she took a breath: "I also know that your father is hard to find, so I brought two letters of introduction. I hope he will agree to help me for the sake of the two introducers." As she spoke, she took out the two letters of introduction. As soon as Hong Ling saw Boss Bai's business card, she was happy on behalf of others, and said: "With the introduction from Grandpa, Dad will definitely agree, you don't have to worry." Instead, she comforted Yu Yu, who was much older than her, as if he were a child. So after handing over the two letters of introduction, I chatted with Hong Ling, but never told Hong Ling what kind of help she wanted from me. Hong Ling had no intention of asking me several times, so she didn't answer, and she didn't let go. on heart. After waiting for a long time, Bai Su and I still haven't come back, so we looked worried and restless.Hong Ling was more anxious than the guests, she kept jumping in and out, and went to the door to look around every ten seconds, muttering to herself: Why haven't you come back, why haven't you come back. Under such circumstances, Hong Ling certainly didn't have the heart to ask about the origin of the guest and the purpose of the visit. After disturbing for about forty minutes, the guest sighed, walked towards the door, and said to Hong Ling: "I still have some important things to do urgently, and I can't wait any longer. Please tell your father, it will be midnight at the latest, and I will Will definitely come again.” She didn't have any appointments before she came, and it wasn't my fault that I wasn't there, but Hong Ling felt very sorry because she had a good impression of her, and said a lot of sorry words to her. When I heard Hong Ling say this, I couldn't help but interrupt her: "You don't have to apologize to her at all!" Hong Ling said: "Yes, she said the same thing. She said that it was all her own fault, and she said that Wesley is a great figure, and that people all over the world would come to him when they have difficulties. She said that she only came here once. , even if it is the ninth time to see Wesley, it is quite normal." As the saying goes: "Thousands of clothes, ten thousand clothes, flattery and no clothes." At first, I was very disgusted with this lady who asked me for something, because before she came to ask me, she got letters of introduction from Boss Bai and Tie Dan, so that Even if I don't want to, it's hard to refuse, which means that I have to agree to her request, which makes me feel disgusted.But after listening to Hong Ling's recitation of her words, I snorted, and the degree of resentment eased a lot.He just muttered: "Before midnight? You mean to keep people awake and wait for her to come?" Bai Su glared at me: "Which day did you go to bed before midnight?" I said, "Not going to bed before midnight and not being able to go to bed before midnight are two completely different things." Although my words are very reasonable, but Bai Su and Hong Ling's mother and daughter don't pay any attention to me, and discuss who is the lady. Bai Su asked Hong Ling: "Just now you said that aunt looks very familiar, is that true?" Hong Ling thought about it seriously, and kept beating her head with her hands: "That's true, but no matter what, I can't remember where I saw her." Bai Su kept reminding Hong Ling, but Hong Ling just shook her head. I felt bored, so I went into the study by myself. I don't know how long they discussed it, I didn't think about it at all──Because she will come, I will understand when she comes, why waste my brain! Before midnight, around nine o'clock in the evening, the doorbell rang, and then I heard Hong Ling's cheers, and I knew it was the lady who had appeared again. I immediately opened the study door and went downstairs, only to see Bai Su chatting with a lady who walked in, I walked halfway up the stairs, and said loudly: "Welcome! Welcome!" Following my words, the lady raised her head and met me face to face. In an instant, there was no exaggeration. Grabbing the handrail quickly, I felt dizzy for a while—in the records, it seems that only the beauty of a modern yellow rose lady has such magic power.I knew from Hong Ling's mouth that the coming person was very beautiful, and I was mentally prepared, but because the scene that suddenly appeared in front of me was too far from what I had imagined, and the scene in front of me was beyond my imagination. So I was still so shaken that I lost my way. Not to mention at that time, even if I describe this story now, it has been a long time since then: But when I describe this scene, I still feel shocked when I recall the situation at that time! Cantonese dialect describes the feeling when seeing a beautiful woman for the first time, and it is said to be "dizzy", and in The West Chamber, it is said to be "the soul flies to half the sky"... There are too many examples, but none of them can really describe this feeling real situation. I don't have any purpose for the beauties I see, and even so, if I have the intention of admiring her, the shock I feel must be ten times, a hundred times that of me! I am not going to describe the face of the beautiful woman I saw, because I know that I don't have this ability—and no one in the world has this ability. The so-called "cannot be described by pen and ink words" is true. of. I also forgive Hong Ling for saying "beautiful aunt" when referring to the visitor, because the visitor is indeed extremely beautiful. I tried to gather my mind and took a breath to maintain normal state and walk down the stairs.My mind changed quickly: This lady is obviously not young, she is about thirty to fifty years old, and people can see her feel such a shock. It is really hard to imagine how she felt when she was rejuvenated. moving. And when I went downstairs, I had regained my composure and could see her face more clearly—although I was greatly shocked by the meeting just now, I hadn’t really seen her face clearly yet. In an instant, she seemed to be enveloped by a brilliance, which is probably the so-called "beautiful brilliance that cannot be stared at directly". When I came close to her, I still needed to adjust my breathing speed, and at this moment, I suddenly felt that the beauty in front of me was very familiar, and I should have seen her somewhere. However, this is really impossible—who would not remember such a beauty after seeing it? I immediately looked at Bai Su and gave her a questioning look, but Bai Suo had a half-smile and didn't give me any hint. I said first: "Ms. Yu is so beautiful!" It seems inappropriate to say this to a strange female guest, but since I was shocked by her beauty just now, and I really have such a feeling in my heart, if I don't say it, it will be artificial and not frank enough. I believe that she must have heard the same compliment countless times since she was a child, and she has long been used to it.Sure enough, she smiled lightly and said: "Thank you, I am far behind my mother." I shook my head involuntarily, because the first reaction was that there was no such possibility, but because she mentioned her mother, and we had already deduced that Boss Bai knew her mother, a flash of inspiration suddenly came to my mind, and I remembered Coming alone, I immediately knew why Hong Ling and I felt that she looked familiar! I took a breath: "Lingtang is---" She immediately answered: "My mother's surname is Dou, and her name is Qiaolan—Mr. Bai said that Mr. Wei will know who my mother is immediately when he sees me." I took a deep breath, Boss Bai was right, I definitely knew it already, although I didn't know that extremely common Chinese female name, but her appearance was half or half of her mother's Similar, to be sure. It's weird to say--I haven't actually met her mother at all, but I've only seen a portrait of her mother, and the portrait was drawn by Boss Bai. I already knew exactly what her mother was, and it was amused to hear her say her mother's common name. My thoughts have always been in a mess, and at the same time, I also thought that I always thought that Boss Bai's ability to draw portraits is extremely high, and he is unique in the world, but now I feel that it is nothing more than that.Because in the portraits I have seen, although the person in the portrait is an outstanding beauty, it is far inferior to Ms. Yu in front of me.And then he said that she was far behind her mother, so it can be seen that Boss Bai's painting skills cannot express the beauty of the people in the painting. At this time, I smiled and said, "It's the first time I've heard Lingtang's name, but Lingtang's nickname is like thunder, and I've heard it for a long time!" So he laughed and said, "It's just that good things don't go out, and bad things travel thousands of miles!" Bai Su obviously already understood our conversation like this, so she didn't find it strange at all.But Hong Ling was completely puzzled, she was very interested, and asked loudly: "What is the nickname of beautiful aunt's mother? Why is it a bad thing?" Bai Su took Hong Ling's hand and patted the back of her hand twice, signaling her not to worry.Hong Ling's eyes widened, as if she couldn't associate "bad things" with her beautiful aunt at all. I took a breath again: "Lingtang was known as 'Nv Zhuge' and 'Sai Guanyin' back then, so he is no ordinary person!" As soon as I said this, Hong Ling yelled, jumped up, pointed at Ms. Yu, opened her mouth wide, and said after a while: "No! No!" So he turned to her and said with a smile, "Why is that wrong?" Hong Ling said: "I have seen the portrait of your mother, you are more beautiful than her: just now how did you say that you are far worse than her?" So he laughed and said: "No matter how good a painter is in the world, he can't fully express the appearance of a real person. It is because people are alive, as if they are dead. The so-called lifelike is just talking!" Of course, she didn't mean to belittle Boss Bai by saying this. In fact, Boss Bai also said later that although his portrait was already a masterpiece, it was not even 10% compared to the real person! Hong Ling still shook her head, expressing her disbelief, she was very happy: "I feel like I've seen you somewhere, so that's how it is." As soon as I uttered Yu's mother's nickname, Hong Ling immediately understood --- friends who are familiar with the story I described must have understood at the same time.This "female Zhuge Saiguanyin" once appeared in this story.
