Chapter 24
No matter how cold the winter is, it will eventually come to an end.
When the biting cold northwest wind gradually turns into a warm and low-temper southeast wind, when the grass on the ground has survived the winter tenaciously, some spiky grass emerges again, when the dry branches of the willow tree begin to envelop The upper layer of light velvet yellow, you can't feel it when you look closely, but when you look at it from a distance, the surrounding poplar branches are also dyed with light green, and the long-awaited spring of Fengtian finally proudly wanders in the on the way.
In almost two months from the Lantern Festival to now, Ning Zheng has never been alone with his fiancée who is violent from time to time: he came to the door three times, and only once saw Feng Jiu. Other than that; I made two appointments on the phone, but the beauty was determined, and she would stay behind closed doors even if she said anything; even if she went out occasionally, she would go with her elder brother, sister-in-law or father. took her away in front of her elders and family members.
Ning Zheng could only figure out Feng Jiu's preferences, sending her flowers and various small things.
For example, the rare orchids, lilies, lilies of the valley, and tulips that are rare in Fengtian this season, I don’t know how hard it was to deliver these delicate flowers to her intact; many newly published original English and French novels, magazines; some elegantly patterned linen and silk handkerchiefs; uncommon desserts and other snacks in Fengtian, most of which were accepted, but people still couldn’t see them.
Ning Zheng could only look up to the sky and sigh, this little girl is really hard to please.So, if a girl really decides to hate someone, she can turn things around by giving them something, but she doesn't really hate it, and accepting insignificant gifts is nothing more than not wanting to completely freeze the relationship.
Especially Fengjiu, who is extremely assertive, and the synonym of "assertive" often means stubbornness.
In the middle of February in the lunar calendar, Feng Jiu told his father that he was going to Guangdong for a trip.
After hearing this, Tang Du thought to himself that once June got married, the second girl really wouldn't be able to go wherever she wanted.Fengjiu has been a very worry-free child since he was a child. Although he was weak and sick when he was young, he took good care of him when he was four years old. Even if he was sick, he took medicine happily and didn't make trouble; She is so cute, I am afraid that she will work hard; when her mother dies when she is ten years old, her relationship with herself is getting colder and colder, and she will make fewer extra demands.
This time Fengjiu was engaged, how did Tang Du know that Fengjiu had made so many moths, except for the mischievous little Taohong, of course that was harmless, the second girl readily accepted this door and was escaped by her incomprehensible elder sister Yes, and she herself is not satisfied with the marriage, what a considerate child.
Tang Du is not the kind of father who follows the old ways and looks like a patriarch, so it is inevitable that he feels guilty for making such a marriage for his daughter, but he still feels that it takes at least a month to go back and forth and play for such a long distance. Yes, she is about to get married, and she has been away for such a long time, what if something goes wrong?
He hesitated a little, so he didn't give Feng Jiu an answer right away.
Unexpectedly, Tang Du answered a phone call in the study and hurried out. After returning for a long time, he looked blank, holding a small leather box firmly in his hand. If you look carefully, you will find that the hands holding the box are constantly shaking. Shaking; but that's not the point, the point is that Tang Du immediately called the eldest son into the study, and when the two of them came out after a long time, their faces were ashen.
Then he gathered himself together, called Feng Jiu, and said that he promised her to go to the south to play, not only to play, but also to have fun!One month is not enough time, two months is enough time!
As for getting married in June... don't worry, everything at home has been taken care of for her, and it's good to be married when I come back. Even if there is anything I can't do, isn't there still that young Marshal Ning who has great powers? Humph.
Feng Jiu was surprised and delighted, this is the pie in the sky, not only can he go but also stay for a longer time, but why does Feng Jiu feel like gnashing his teeth when he hears his father's voice, especially when it comes to Ning Zheng? when.
His father's feelings towards Ning Zheng had always been neutral, but he always warned himself to respect his future husband and live in harmony with him, but his performance today was extraordinary.Feng Jiu murmured in his heart, this is a good feeling, could it be that his father also found out that he is a beast in clothes?
The elder brother's expression is better than that of his father, and he thoughtfully told his younger sister that she doesn't need to worry about the transportation and accommodation on the way to Guangdong. go.
Then my father twisted open the small suitcase that Feng Jiu had noticed as soon as he entered the study room. The suitcase should have come from Russia, because there was a religious painting in the style of the Russian Orthodox Church painted on the cover of the suitcase. There was a cardinal embroidered with a golden cross hanging on his chest and a white tall hat on his head. His thick and exaggerated white beard grew to cover most of his chest.
The master of the Tang family took out several boxes of canned food and told Feng Jiu that this was sturgeon caviar brought by his "friend" from Russia. It tasted close to butter, and Feng Jiu would probably like it very much.
There are many good things. Feng Jiu drifted all the way back to his residence. At noon, he and his sister and Buku had lunch in Xiaopianxia. When they opened the can, each of them took a spoonful. Sure enough, this olive green sturgeon The caviar is the top taste, clear and full, fresh and sweet, not greasy.
In the study room here, Tang Fengxian asked his father for instructions in a low voice, "Then, don't you tell Lao Ning's family?"
Tang Du frowned, but his emotions still hadn't completely calmed down, "It's too much of a bully, don't tell."
Here, Feng Jiu planned to take his younger sister Feng Ling to go with her, and his father kindly arranged a long vacation for Feng Ling and Tongze Girls' School; of course, there were also Qiu Sheng and Wu Ma, such opportunities are rare , so it is better for those who are close to Fengjiu to go together. If grandma is too old to travel far, and Xiao Buku is too young to be away from her mother, she would want to pack them up and take them away together.
On the day of departure, Feng Jiu and his party formally bid farewell to grandma, father, and Lu Shi. They hugged Xiao Buku, who was crying with snot all over his face, and promised to bring him back a "gift as high as a mountain". When I got down to the station, I unexpectedly saw Bao Buyi who had only seen him once since the first month of the lunar year and had been seeing his head and tail all the time.
He was accompanied by two entourages, who were carrying a lot of his luggage. Only then did Feng Jiu understand why the elder brother said he was responsible for arranging the journey.
Tang Fengxian greeted Bao Buqu politely, and thanked him in advance for accompanying the two younger sisters on the trip. On the southbound train, I happily waved goodbye to my eldest brother on the platform.
After hearing Zhi Changsheng's report, Ning Zheng, who went back to Xiaohonglou to look for the seal, threw the document under review on the table with a "slap", raised his thick eyebrows, "...Guangdong? Two months?"
Zhi Changsheng wiped off his sweat, but didn't dare to speak any more.
For a while now, because of the old commander’s militarism, Ning’s military expenditures are tight. Wang Minyuan, who is in charge of finance, strongly recommends that the status quo must be changed. Caught between his father and Wang Minyuan, Zheng was constrained, and his monitoring of Feng Jiu was also relaxed.
Unexpectedly, today Zhi Changsheng took Ning Zheng’s colleague from the Southern Department of the United States to the station, and accidentally bumped into Tang Fengxian who was sending the future three young mistresses and the young master’s friend Bao Buyi to the car. Zhi Changsheng was surprised and immediately mobilized Ning Zheng to arrange After inquiring from many insiders of the Tang family, it was only then that Feng Jiu was going to Guangdong, and the time would not be short.
The insiders were also very puzzled, so the Tang family dared to decide on such a major matter without notifying the Ning family?We are going to get married soon, this is really... rare.
Zhi Changsheng peeped at the head of the Ning Army, who was looking down like water: In the future, the three young mistresses will go on a trip. Although the fiancée is not obliged to report her trips to her fiancé, in Zhi Changsheng's view, he still feels that the Tang family should do this. Not very authentic.
However, even if he knew it in advance, he couldn't do anything. After all, this is a wife who hasn't married yet. As a fiancé, he has no right to prevent her from going, and he doesn't have time to accompany her, right?
But I heard that Sixth Miss Tang is going to go for two months this time, two months!
Zhi Changsheng sighed deeply, looked at the third young master who was staring at the picture of Miss Tang Liu on the wall with a sullen face, and couldn't help feeling sympathetic to him, it seems that the young master Half a year of trying to please my future uncle is of no use.
Ning Zheng pondered for a while, then suddenly ordered Zhi Changsheng, "Check and see if Tang Fenglin has contacted the Tang family again? Hmm—maybe she didn't come forward herself, but asked someone else."
"Yes." Zhi Changsheng led the order and went out.
After Ning Zheng thought about it, the Tang family obviously wanted Feng Jiu to leave without saying goodbye this time. The reason is that they finally discovered the truth about Tang Fenglin's escape from marriage.
Tang Fenglin didn't keep her word... Ning Zheng kept a straight face. He had directly sent someone to find Tang Fenglin, who was studying in Peking, and asked her to go back to Fengtian to have an interview with him about the divorce. Only then will she be able to restore contact with her family. When the time comes, it's up to her to tell the truth or not.
After all, it was not a lie that she joined the Revolutionary Party and was eager to rescue her accomplice comrade who was wanted by the whole country. He, Ning Zheng, just pushed the boat along and made a decision for her.
Now, that's not even a year away.
................................................... ..
All the way to Fengjiu, I sat in the first-class carriages. When it was time to eat, I went to the nearby dining car to eat. The meals were all Chinese and Western, and they were very delicious.
The speed of trains during the Republic of China was not slow, about [-] kilometers per hour.Fengjiu read books, played chess, played games with Fengling, chatted with Bao Buqu, and quietly watched the passing scenery outside the window when he was tired.
It's the beginning of spring now, walking all the way, from the north to the south where there is not much greenery, the scenery becomes more and more colorful and full of vitality, so everyone's mood is getting more and more flying and happy.
Leaving Fengtian and temporarily leaving the place of right and wrong, Fengjiu is like a bird out of the cage, free and easy, her face is more and more beautiful, and there are smiles in her eyes, making people feel happy for her.
After Bao Buqu had a heart-to-heart conversation with him last time, Feng Jiu's impression of him was much better——
This person is very emotional, enthusiastic, well-informed, and not as twisted and twisted as Lao Guang admits.
The train ran for four days before arriving at Dashatou Railway Station in Guangzhou: the speed is not a problem, mainly because during the period of the Republic of China, the railways were divided into fragments by the forces of various provinces, and there was no direct access, so passengers had to go underground section by section. Cars, tickets, and transfers, so can we not waste time?
Since ancient times, Guangzhou has been a pioneering territory. Various new trends of thought and new industries often arise from it. The same is true for popular movements. They are broad-minded, tolerant, confident, and never afraid to communicate with foreigners. This city has always been a place in the history of human civilization. Since 2000, it has existed like a pearl that has been prosperous for a long time.
Bao Buqu is a very emotional and revealing person. This year's Lunar New Year, because of some business twists and turns a year ago, he didn't have the chance to go home for the New Year. So he hasn't been back for more than half a year.
After getting off the train, I immediately heard the babbling Nanyin and the crisp sound of clogs coming from the back alley of the train station. I felt the damp heat on my skin. What floated to my nose were white magnolia flowers and rice rolls. The unique flavor of Guangzhou mixed with Tingzai porridge and bamboo noodles made Bao Buqu's eyes a little moist.
Feng Ling gave him a curious look, and Feng Jiu gently poked his sister.
Bao Buqu caught a glimpse of the small lawsuit between Feng Jiu and his sister, and couldn't help sighing: "When you return to the Northeast after spending several months in Guangdong, you will be like me, wanting to cry before you arrive in Fengtian." It would really be the first time I had such an experience, so many days away without going home, so I nodded in agreement.
Unsurprisingly, Feng Jiu and his party were warmly welcomed by the Bao family who lived in a large and beautiful courtyard in Xishan District, Guangzhou: the Bao family was the head of the family, and Bao Buqu’s father, Bao Tingfa, was already a member of the Xiaoxiang Bao family. The sixth generation descendant is very familiar with Tang Du, an important business partner in the Northeast, but this is the first time seeing his family members; Ninth Miss is a bit shy and innocent, and the two servants are also dignified and polite, which shows that the Tang family is strict in running the family and has a good family style.
Feng Jiu took his younger sister, Wu Ma, and Qiu Sheng to live in the courtyard on the west side of Baojiayuan. Walking along the promenade, at night, under the bright moonlight, lying on the waves, listening to the sound of lotus leaves, the scenery is excellent, and it really lives up to the name.
Bao Buqu went back to his "Yinlvzhai" which was separated by a courtyard, so that he could contact them conveniently.
The next day, Bao Buqu took Feng Jiu and his party, who said he had rested, to wander around the city of Guangzhou. Feng Ling listened to "Brother Bao" always talking to his sister about the sea market in the Ming Dynasty. Wallpapers from England, porcelain from the United States, cigarettes sold in Humen in the Qing Dynasty, etc. I was really impatient to listen, so I went to join Qiu Sheng and Wu Ma, looking at flowers, trees and people, which was much more interesting than what they said.
Bao Buqu didn't take it seriously, and told Feng Jiu, "Right now, the wealthy people in Guangzhou City have gone to Dongshan to build houses, because there is no room to build here in Xishan."
Indeed, according to Fengjiu's eyes, the Bao family has already occupied the largest area, and other private gardens, either magnificent or elegant, also occupy the area next to the West Mountain.
Bao Buqu said, "Did you see that vacant lot on the east side?" Feng Jiu looked to the east, and there was indeed a not-so-small vacant lot. "It was originally taken by a man surnamed Huang. He is the chief of the Major General of the First Group Army's Supplies Division, and his official position is not small, but because of a small incident, he still failed in the end..." Speaking of which, Bao Buyi, who knows how to be tricky, stopped talking, looked at Feng Jiu with his eyes, Jiu immediately cupped his hands politely: "May I ask why, Master Bao?"
Bao Buqu laughed "puchi": "Because the boundary of Xishan is composed of several villages, and the village next to the piece of land captured by Major General Huang is called Daling Village, and the main surname of the villagers is 'Cai'... ' He stopped again, looking at her meaningfully.
Feng Jiu understood a little bit, and said slowly, frowning delicately: "As far as I know, Cantonese people are very fond of flattery, and they especially like to flatter their lips. Is it because the surname Cai and the surname Huang are combined together? 'The vegetables are turning yellow'?!"
Can't it?Feng Jiu looked at Bao Buqu, Bao Buqu was taken aback, and couldn't help sighing at Feng Jiu's keenness, "That's right! Cai Huang Cai Huang, the vegetables are yellow, so the villagers quit, and the surname Huang had to put this The land was sold to someone else." Spreading his hands, he looked helpless.
Feng Jiu couldn't help laughing, this is really a big difference in folk customs, but she changed her mind again: "Who did you sell it to? This major general surnamed Huang, wouldn't it be sold at a low price?"
There was surprise in Bao Buqu's eyes, he really admired this little girl, "I was sold to a 'Mrs. Qing' as you said."
Feng Jiu said slowly: "I guess, this general surnamed Huang is hypocritical - he wanted to give this piece of land to Mrs. Qing, it seems that he knew the taboos of the villagers, so he bought it at a high price on purpose. Then pretend to have to sell, and the price of the cabbage will be given to Mrs. Qing."
Bao Buyi nodded: "That's right, this Madam Qing is not an ordinary person, she has some unavoidable reasons and can't come forward to directly take the land, which is why Major General Huang made such arrangements."
"The motive is either for power or for sex. Mrs. Qing sounds like she's not too young, so it can't be for beauty." As a woman, although Feng Jiu has a peerless appearance, she has never been complacent about it. I don't even have the idea to use this advantage to do something, so I always greatly underestimate the influence of beauty on men.
Bao Buqu smiled: "You guessed wrong this time, it's just for beauty."
"Mrs. Qing is 33 years old. She is the widow of Qing Wanshan, the widow of the former dynasty. Major General Huang is her high school classmate. The two had a relationship before, but they were separated. When they met again, Major General Huang wanted to pursue her again, so that's why they did this." Go to great lengths to buy and sell land.”
"I see. It can be regarded as infatuation."
The two chatted and laughed, and turned their heads to find that Feng Ling and Qiu Sheng, Wu Ma, and Bao Buyi's entourage had disappeared, probably because they were really impatient to hear them talk further and further away.
Bao Buyi looked at Feng Jiu seriously: "If you enter the officialdom, you will definitely be a wise boss who cannot be fooled by your subordinates."
Feng Jiu pursed her lips and smiled, "I can't be an official, and I don't like to worry about it by nature." I didn't expect that behind a piece of land, there would be such a thing that would happen in a legendary novel, so she likes to travel, and she can see all kinds of anecdotes Strange events and folk customs often bring different insights.
Of course, what Feng Jiu likes most is eating, and eating wherever he goes, this is Feng Jiu's self-confessed lifelong pursuit.
Bao Buqu looked around and led Feng Jiu into a snack shop.
Feng Jiu had tested his blood type, and it was type AB, so his natural taste is lighter, which makes sense.
Although in Fengtian’s hometown, she also loves Northeast dishes with rich oil and red sauce like Baofayuan, but occasionally she is okay with it. On weekdays, she mostly eats steamed and mixed vegetables that are soft and easy to digest with less salt and less condiments. , when she was out of the house, she was even more careful everywhere, lest she would be happy with her mouth and suffer physically, and it would not be beautiful to be bedridden if she was not acclimatized.
But this Cantonese cuisine really suits her appetite - you can serve [-] or [-] kinds in one meal, a small portion, dim sum, soup, vegetables, fish and meat, not spicy, not salty, not sweet and not sour, moderate taste, easy to eat There is no burden after finishing the stomach and intestines, and she even fell in love with Guangzhou, which is a magical place.
Cantonese people are extremely pragmatic, don't want to make a name for themselves, and there are few people who swell their faces to pretend to be fat.
Bao Buqu looked at Feng Jiu's satisfied face, and asked with a smile, "Would you like some wine? I heard that the big girls in the Northeast can drink a few sips."
Feng Jiu didn't answer him directly, but just asked with a smile: "Then do you eat mice? I heard that Cantonese don't eat benches except for four-legged ones, and two-legged ones don't eat people."
Bao Buyi laughed.
"But I really saw some Northeast women hanging cradles on the beams and smoking hookahs themselves."
"Well, there are quite a few of these in the countryside. The cradle is called a car, and the child is placed in the car, because the child is afraid that the child will be bitten by a snake or a mouse; smoking a hookah is because there are few women, and it is influenced by the Manchus. , the status of women is naturally higher than that in other parts of China, and girls who have not been out of the court are called "jerks". If men can smoke, they will naturally smoke too, not to be outdone."
"So that's how it is," Bao Buqu said with emotion, "so people are full of prejudice and discrimination, many of them are preconceived, but why is it like this?"
Feng Jiu said calmly: "In order to find a sense of superiority, in order to enjoy the feeling of superiority for no reason, I don't understand it."
Fengjiu walked slowly all the way, and suddenly saw a "Watson's Pharmacy". Branch. Everything is complete."
Feng Jiu let out a "huh" and really wanted to see what's inside. When he went in, he really lived up to his expectations: "Tiger Balm Tiger Oil", "Nanyang Yonglongzheng Safflower Oil", "Kyoto Nianci'an Chuanbei Loquat Lotion" "... Fengjiu bought a few bottles and planned to give them to grandma when she went back.
Fengjiu opened his eyes all around, and saw a billboard on the ground next to it, which sold "Nivea beauty cream", but the pharmacy actually sells beauty cream?She really admired the operator of this pharmacy—as long as it is related to people, it doesn't indulge in medicines, and it doesn't stick to one style, it will be sold in it, no wonder the business is so good.
The billboard said that this beauty cream can remove blackheads and prevent clogged pores. Thinking of the many female relatives in the family, she bought a lot of bottles in one go; looking to the side, there are still standing on the shelf. How many bottles of Dutch water?
Bao Buqu smiled: "In fact, in Europe and the United States, it is very common for pharmacies to have soda water counters, because the production method is simple and the profits are very rich. Behind this pharmacy is a big company, which has long established its own soda water factory. It’s been more than 60 years.” By the way, in the south, Dutch water is called soda water.
Feng Jiu nodded in surprise, can he still do business like this?She bought two bottles of orange-flavored Dutch water, and held the soda bottles in her hands and looked at them carefully: the caps of the bottles were crown-shaped—unlike the soda bottles in the north, the bottom was oval, and the cork was unstoppable. The cork is still tied with a wire - this new type of bottle cap can even be opened with a chopstick, and the soda bottle with a cork is as laborious as opening champagne, and you have to cover it with your hand, or spray it. It's everywhere.
Bao Buqu asked the clerk to help open it. The clerk took out a small tool with a strange shape and a round hole in the middle, put it on the bottle cap and opened it together.Feng Jiu took a sip and suddenly thought of something, so he looked at Bao Buyi with a smile.
Bao Buqu also smiled, and asked, "Do you want to know how I would get up if no one helped me?"
Feng Jiu looked at Bao Buqu with a glance: "I guess you can use your teeth."
Bao Buqu laughed again, revealing a mouthful of snow-white strong teeth that were not too small, "Those who know me don't ask for help."
Then he asked: "How does it compare with Fengtian's Bawangsi soda?"
Feng Jiu tasted it, and said seriously: "Each has its own characteristics, and they all taste good."
Bao Buqu also drank a few sips, smacking his lips, "It's all really good."
Feng Jiu insisted on paying the bill by herself, so Bao Buqu could only let her carry the cloth bag stuffed with a lot of things for her. After thinking about it later, he put the things down, left the address, and asked the Watsons clerk to deliver it to Bao's house go.
After walking out for a while, they met Fengling Wu Mama and the others. It happened that everyone ate what was supposed to be eaten, and went shopping, so they walked back to the parking place and got into the car. Ling and the others exchanged what they ate and played just now, which was very pleasant.
From then on, Feng Jiu took Feng Ling and the others with him when he had nothing to do. If Bao Buqu was at home, he would accompany him; and several nearby small county towns, stopping wherever I go, eating, and playing. During the period, I inevitably entered a few temples, and accompanied the devout Buddhist Wu Ma to worship again and again. Bye, it's just that Fengjiu resolutely did not agree with Wu Ma's vain attempt to make a wish, because if the wish is fulfilled, there is a rule that one must come back to fulfill the wish in the future, but who knows if Wu Ma will have time to come to Guangzhou again in the future?
The Bao family spares no effort in taking care of them, and must let the distinguished northern guests feel the sincerity of the Xiaoxiang Bao family.
Another incident was that when the Patriarch of the Bao family saw his son returning with his business partner's young daughter, he thought it was overjoyed, thinking that his son, who had always been unrestrained and unrestrained, had finally moved his mind to get married and settled down; Asked cryptically, the son who had never said anything was silent, and only told his father not to ask about this matter, he knew it well, and left without saying a word.Mr. Bao couldn't help but feel sad, it seems that Miss Tang's Sixth Miss has promised someone, and she is a high-ranking person, otherwise he is also the son of a big family and a big business, so he won't want to fight for him.
In fact, as soon as Feng Jiu arrived at Bao's house, he received a call from Ning Zheng who was far away in Fengtian. His voice on the phone was as usual, calm and calm, but he was very happy that she had arrived safely, and told her to take care of herself, and said that if he had time , he would come to Guangzhou to pick him up in person; at the end he solemnly asked Feng Jiu to write to himself on a weekly basis.
Feng Jiu didn't believe that he had the time to pick her up. After all, her father also told her on the phone that the Ning army was now rectifying the army, and many things were on him, the army commander, so he could go wherever he wanted.It's not that easy.
As for writing letters, Feng Jiu would write letters to his family and classmates on Sundays every week, so in the end he wrote a few lines to Ning Zheng intentionally, and it was not a problem to perfunctory the past.
Feng Jiu naturally did not expect that after arriving in Fengtian, the letters she wrote would lie on the table of the commander of the Third Army of the Ning Army. After writing all the letters, it is time to go where.
Ning Zheng frowned as he read the letters one by one—how to open the envelopes without any trace was simply a necessary skill for Ning Jun's intelligence agents.
He soon discovered that the letters to Melanie were the most valuable to read: in the letters, she would explain to Melanie in detail where she went, what Cantonese customs she saw, what delicious food she ate, And what kind of jokes did these northerners make, their Cantonese has improved again, and the title "Brother Bao" is appearing more and more in almost every letter, accounting for at least one third of the letters. magnitude.
Zhi Changsheng saw that the hands of the legion commander who had been under pressure for more than a month were still calm, but the increasingly cold breath was still disturbing. It is not easy to keep the letter in its original form after being crumpled into a ball.
There is an iron box on Ning Zheng's desk, and there is a bundle of letters written to him by Feng Jiu.This time, Ning Zheng read very slowly as before. Compared with the letter to Wu Meilan, the few lines of perfunctory words on the letter paper are the difference between a premature baby and a full-term fat boy, except for the dry greetings and routine Report yourself that everything is fine, nothing else.
Even so, Ning Zheng would treasure the letter to himself and put it in the tin box every time after reading the two very contrasting letters, and read it several times from time to time.
One day, after Ning Zheng finished his business, he habitually opened the tin box and took out a few five letters to read in turn. Zhi Changsheng walked in softly and put something like a tightly rolled scroll on his desk. Turned around and left without saying a word.
Ning Zheng glanced at him suspiciously, untied the kraft paper rope tied to it, and unfolded it, his eyes suddenly froze.
This... the pair of young men and women above are exactly Feng Jiu and himself. Feng Jiu lay on his back, closed his eyes, and seemed to be asleep, and his hands were bent back, hidden in the hollow of Feng Jiu's legs. A face turned slightly to look at her profile.He stood on a high step, with deep and shallow maple forests on both sides, and a silver light flashed in the distance, which should be the inner lake of Beiling, Sili Lake.Isn't this the time last year when Feng Jiu sent Wei Yuanhua away and climbed up the inner mausoleum of the Beiling, paralyzed from exhaustion, and then carried her down?
Ning Zheng stared at the eyes on the screen where he turned his head and looked at Feng Jiu. It turns out that when he looked at her, he looked like this. It cannot be mistaken, it cannot be denied...
He suddenly pasted Feng Jiu on the photo to his slightly trembling lips, his lovesickness was overwhelming, and he couldn't stop it.
In the photo, Fengjiu smiled on his lips, sleeping ignorantly and carefree, with playful braids hanging down to one side, just like its owner, looking innocent and innocent, wrinkling a pool of spring water without self-consciousness Know……
(End of this chapter)
No matter how cold the winter is, it will eventually come to an end.
When the biting cold northwest wind gradually turns into a warm and low-temper southeast wind, when the grass on the ground has survived the winter tenaciously, some spiky grass emerges again, when the dry branches of the willow tree begin to envelop The upper layer of light velvet yellow, you can't feel it when you look closely, but when you look at it from a distance, the surrounding poplar branches are also dyed with light green, and the long-awaited spring of Fengtian finally proudly wanders in the on the way.
In almost two months from the Lantern Festival to now, Ning Zheng has never been alone with his fiancée who is violent from time to time: he came to the door three times, and only once saw Feng Jiu. Other than that; I made two appointments on the phone, but the beauty was determined, and she would stay behind closed doors even if she said anything; even if she went out occasionally, she would go with her elder brother, sister-in-law or father. took her away in front of her elders and family members.
Ning Zheng could only figure out Feng Jiu's preferences, sending her flowers and various small things.
For example, the rare orchids, lilies, lilies of the valley, and tulips that are rare in Fengtian this season, I don’t know how hard it was to deliver these delicate flowers to her intact; many newly published original English and French novels, magazines; some elegantly patterned linen and silk handkerchiefs; uncommon desserts and other snacks in Fengtian, most of which were accepted, but people still couldn’t see them.
Ning Zheng could only look up to the sky and sigh, this little girl is really hard to please.So, if a girl really decides to hate someone, she can turn things around by giving them something, but she doesn't really hate it, and accepting insignificant gifts is nothing more than not wanting to completely freeze the relationship.
Especially Fengjiu, who is extremely assertive, and the synonym of "assertive" often means stubbornness.
In the middle of February in the lunar calendar, Feng Jiu told his father that he was going to Guangdong for a trip.
After hearing this, Tang Du thought to himself that once June got married, the second girl really wouldn't be able to go wherever she wanted.Fengjiu has been a very worry-free child since he was a child. Although he was weak and sick when he was young, he took good care of him when he was four years old. Even if he was sick, he took medicine happily and didn't make trouble; She is so cute, I am afraid that she will work hard; when her mother dies when she is ten years old, her relationship with herself is getting colder and colder, and she will make fewer extra demands.
This time Fengjiu was engaged, how did Tang Du know that Fengjiu had made so many moths, except for the mischievous little Taohong, of course that was harmless, the second girl readily accepted this door and was escaped by her incomprehensible elder sister Yes, and she herself is not satisfied with the marriage, what a considerate child.
Tang Du is not the kind of father who follows the old ways and looks like a patriarch, so it is inevitable that he feels guilty for making such a marriage for his daughter, but he still feels that it takes at least a month to go back and forth and play for such a long distance. Yes, she is about to get married, and she has been away for such a long time, what if something goes wrong?
He hesitated a little, so he didn't give Feng Jiu an answer right away.
Unexpectedly, Tang Du answered a phone call in the study and hurried out. After returning for a long time, he looked blank, holding a small leather box firmly in his hand. If you look carefully, you will find that the hands holding the box are constantly shaking. Shaking; but that's not the point, the point is that Tang Du immediately called the eldest son into the study, and when the two of them came out after a long time, their faces were ashen.
Then he gathered himself together, called Feng Jiu, and said that he promised her to go to the south to play, not only to play, but also to have fun!One month is not enough time, two months is enough time!
As for getting married in June... don't worry, everything at home has been taken care of for her, and it's good to be married when I come back. Even if there is anything I can't do, isn't there still that young Marshal Ning who has great powers? Humph.
Feng Jiu was surprised and delighted, this is the pie in the sky, not only can he go but also stay for a longer time, but why does Feng Jiu feel like gnashing his teeth when he hears his father's voice, especially when it comes to Ning Zheng? when.
His father's feelings towards Ning Zheng had always been neutral, but he always warned himself to respect his future husband and live in harmony with him, but his performance today was extraordinary.Feng Jiu murmured in his heart, this is a good feeling, could it be that his father also found out that he is a beast in clothes?
The elder brother's expression is better than that of his father, and he thoughtfully told his younger sister that she doesn't need to worry about the transportation and accommodation on the way to Guangdong. go.
Then my father twisted open the small suitcase that Feng Jiu had noticed as soon as he entered the study room. The suitcase should have come from Russia, because there was a religious painting in the style of the Russian Orthodox Church painted on the cover of the suitcase. There was a cardinal embroidered with a golden cross hanging on his chest and a white tall hat on his head. His thick and exaggerated white beard grew to cover most of his chest.
The master of the Tang family took out several boxes of canned food and told Feng Jiu that this was sturgeon caviar brought by his "friend" from Russia. It tasted close to butter, and Feng Jiu would probably like it very much.
There are many good things. Feng Jiu drifted all the way back to his residence. At noon, he and his sister and Buku had lunch in Xiaopianxia. When they opened the can, each of them took a spoonful. Sure enough, this olive green sturgeon The caviar is the top taste, clear and full, fresh and sweet, not greasy.
In the study room here, Tang Fengxian asked his father for instructions in a low voice, "Then, don't you tell Lao Ning's family?"
Tang Du frowned, but his emotions still hadn't completely calmed down, "It's too much of a bully, don't tell."
Here, Feng Jiu planned to take his younger sister Feng Ling to go with her, and his father kindly arranged a long vacation for Feng Ling and Tongze Girls' School; of course, there were also Qiu Sheng and Wu Ma, such opportunities are rare , so it is better for those who are close to Fengjiu to go together. If grandma is too old to travel far, and Xiao Buku is too young to be away from her mother, she would want to pack them up and take them away together.
On the day of departure, Feng Jiu and his party formally bid farewell to grandma, father, and Lu Shi. They hugged Xiao Buku, who was crying with snot all over his face, and promised to bring him back a "gift as high as a mountain". When I got down to the station, I unexpectedly saw Bao Buyi who had only seen him once since the first month of the lunar year and had been seeing his head and tail all the time.
He was accompanied by two entourages, who were carrying a lot of his luggage. Only then did Feng Jiu understand why the elder brother said he was responsible for arranging the journey.
Tang Fengxian greeted Bao Buqu politely, and thanked him in advance for accompanying the two younger sisters on the trip. On the southbound train, I happily waved goodbye to my eldest brother on the platform.
After hearing Zhi Changsheng's report, Ning Zheng, who went back to Xiaohonglou to look for the seal, threw the document under review on the table with a "slap", raised his thick eyebrows, "...Guangdong? Two months?"
Zhi Changsheng wiped off his sweat, but didn't dare to speak any more.
For a while now, because of the old commander’s militarism, Ning’s military expenditures are tight. Wang Minyuan, who is in charge of finance, strongly recommends that the status quo must be changed. Caught between his father and Wang Minyuan, Zheng was constrained, and his monitoring of Feng Jiu was also relaxed.
Unexpectedly, today Zhi Changsheng took Ning Zheng’s colleague from the Southern Department of the United States to the station, and accidentally bumped into Tang Fengxian who was sending the future three young mistresses and the young master’s friend Bao Buyi to the car. Zhi Changsheng was surprised and immediately mobilized Ning Zheng to arrange After inquiring from many insiders of the Tang family, it was only then that Feng Jiu was going to Guangdong, and the time would not be short.
The insiders were also very puzzled, so the Tang family dared to decide on such a major matter without notifying the Ning family?We are going to get married soon, this is really... rare.
Zhi Changsheng peeped at the head of the Ning Army, who was looking down like water: In the future, the three young mistresses will go on a trip. Although the fiancée is not obliged to report her trips to her fiancé, in Zhi Changsheng's view, he still feels that the Tang family should do this. Not very authentic.
However, even if he knew it in advance, he couldn't do anything. After all, this is a wife who hasn't married yet. As a fiancé, he has no right to prevent her from going, and he doesn't have time to accompany her, right?
But I heard that Sixth Miss Tang is going to go for two months this time, two months!
Zhi Changsheng sighed deeply, looked at the third young master who was staring at the picture of Miss Tang Liu on the wall with a sullen face, and couldn't help feeling sympathetic to him, it seems that the young master Half a year of trying to please my future uncle is of no use.
Ning Zheng pondered for a while, then suddenly ordered Zhi Changsheng, "Check and see if Tang Fenglin has contacted the Tang family again? Hmm—maybe she didn't come forward herself, but asked someone else."
"Yes." Zhi Changsheng led the order and went out.
After Ning Zheng thought about it, the Tang family obviously wanted Feng Jiu to leave without saying goodbye this time. The reason is that they finally discovered the truth about Tang Fenglin's escape from marriage.
Tang Fenglin didn't keep her word... Ning Zheng kept a straight face. He had directly sent someone to find Tang Fenglin, who was studying in Peking, and asked her to go back to Fengtian to have an interview with him about the divorce. Only then will she be able to restore contact with her family. When the time comes, it's up to her to tell the truth or not.
After all, it was not a lie that she joined the Revolutionary Party and was eager to rescue her accomplice comrade who was wanted by the whole country. He, Ning Zheng, just pushed the boat along and made a decision for her.
Now, that's not even a year away.
................................................... ..
All the way to Fengjiu, I sat in the first-class carriages. When it was time to eat, I went to the nearby dining car to eat. The meals were all Chinese and Western, and they were very delicious.
The speed of trains during the Republic of China was not slow, about [-] kilometers per hour.Fengjiu read books, played chess, played games with Fengling, chatted with Bao Buqu, and quietly watched the passing scenery outside the window when he was tired.
It's the beginning of spring now, walking all the way, from the north to the south where there is not much greenery, the scenery becomes more and more colorful and full of vitality, so everyone's mood is getting more and more flying and happy.
Leaving Fengtian and temporarily leaving the place of right and wrong, Fengjiu is like a bird out of the cage, free and easy, her face is more and more beautiful, and there are smiles in her eyes, making people feel happy for her.
After Bao Buqu had a heart-to-heart conversation with him last time, Feng Jiu's impression of him was much better——
This person is very emotional, enthusiastic, well-informed, and not as twisted and twisted as Lao Guang admits.
The train ran for four days before arriving at Dashatou Railway Station in Guangzhou: the speed is not a problem, mainly because during the period of the Republic of China, the railways were divided into fragments by the forces of various provinces, and there was no direct access, so passengers had to go underground section by section. Cars, tickets, and transfers, so can we not waste time?
Since ancient times, Guangzhou has been a pioneering territory. Various new trends of thought and new industries often arise from it. The same is true for popular movements. They are broad-minded, tolerant, confident, and never afraid to communicate with foreigners. This city has always been a place in the history of human civilization. Since 2000, it has existed like a pearl that has been prosperous for a long time.
Bao Buqu is a very emotional and revealing person. This year's Lunar New Year, because of some business twists and turns a year ago, he didn't have the chance to go home for the New Year. So he hasn't been back for more than half a year.
After getting off the train, I immediately heard the babbling Nanyin and the crisp sound of clogs coming from the back alley of the train station. I felt the damp heat on my skin. What floated to my nose were white magnolia flowers and rice rolls. The unique flavor of Guangzhou mixed with Tingzai porridge and bamboo noodles made Bao Buqu's eyes a little moist.
Feng Ling gave him a curious look, and Feng Jiu gently poked his sister.
Bao Buqu caught a glimpse of the small lawsuit between Feng Jiu and his sister, and couldn't help sighing: "When you return to the Northeast after spending several months in Guangdong, you will be like me, wanting to cry before you arrive in Fengtian." It would really be the first time I had such an experience, so many days away without going home, so I nodded in agreement.
Unsurprisingly, Feng Jiu and his party were warmly welcomed by the Bao family who lived in a large and beautiful courtyard in Xishan District, Guangzhou: the Bao family was the head of the family, and Bao Buqu’s father, Bao Tingfa, was already a member of the Xiaoxiang Bao family. The sixth generation descendant is very familiar with Tang Du, an important business partner in the Northeast, but this is the first time seeing his family members; Ninth Miss is a bit shy and innocent, and the two servants are also dignified and polite, which shows that the Tang family is strict in running the family and has a good family style.
Feng Jiu took his younger sister, Wu Ma, and Qiu Sheng to live in the courtyard on the west side of Baojiayuan. Walking along the promenade, at night, under the bright moonlight, lying on the waves, listening to the sound of lotus leaves, the scenery is excellent, and it really lives up to the name.
Bao Buqu went back to his "Yinlvzhai" which was separated by a courtyard, so that he could contact them conveniently.
The next day, Bao Buqu took Feng Jiu and his party, who said he had rested, to wander around the city of Guangzhou. Feng Ling listened to "Brother Bao" always talking to his sister about the sea market in the Ming Dynasty. Wallpapers from England, porcelain from the United States, cigarettes sold in Humen in the Qing Dynasty, etc. I was really impatient to listen, so I went to join Qiu Sheng and Wu Ma, looking at flowers, trees and people, which was much more interesting than what they said.
Bao Buqu didn't take it seriously, and told Feng Jiu, "Right now, the wealthy people in Guangzhou City have gone to Dongshan to build houses, because there is no room to build here in Xishan."
Indeed, according to Fengjiu's eyes, the Bao family has already occupied the largest area, and other private gardens, either magnificent or elegant, also occupy the area next to the West Mountain.
Bao Buqu said, "Did you see that vacant lot on the east side?" Feng Jiu looked to the east, and there was indeed a not-so-small vacant lot. "It was originally taken by a man surnamed Huang. He is the chief of the Major General of the First Group Army's Supplies Division, and his official position is not small, but because of a small incident, he still failed in the end..." Speaking of which, Bao Buyi, who knows how to be tricky, stopped talking, looked at Feng Jiu with his eyes, Jiu immediately cupped his hands politely: "May I ask why, Master Bao?"
Bao Buqu laughed "puchi": "Because the boundary of Xishan is composed of several villages, and the village next to the piece of land captured by Major General Huang is called Daling Village, and the main surname of the villagers is 'Cai'... ' He stopped again, looking at her meaningfully.
Feng Jiu understood a little bit, and said slowly, frowning delicately: "As far as I know, Cantonese people are very fond of flattery, and they especially like to flatter their lips. Is it because the surname Cai and the surname Huang are combined together? 'The vegetables are turning yellow'?!"
Can't it?Feng Jiu looked at Bao Buqu, Bao Buqu was taken aback, and couldn't help sighing at Feng Jiu's keenness, "That's right! Cai Huang Cai Huang, the vegetables are yellow, so the villagers quit, and the surname Huang had to put this The land was sold to someone else." Spreading his hands, he looked helpless.
Feng Jiu couldn't help laughing, this is really a big difference in folk customs, but she changed her mind again: "Who did you sell it to? This major general surnamed Huang, wouldn't it be sold at a low price?"
There was surprise in Bao Buqu's eyes, he really admired this little girl, "I was sold to a 'Mrs. Qing' as you said."
Feng Jiu said slowly: "I guess, this general surnamed Huang is hypocritical - he wanted to give this piece of land to Mrs. Qing, it seems that he knew the taboos of the villagers, so he bought it at a high price on purpose. Then pretend to have to sell, and the price of the cabbage will be given to Mrs. Qing."
Bao Buyi nodded: "That's right, this Madam Qing is not an ordinary person, she has some unavoidable reasons and can't come forward to directly take the land, which is why Major General Huang made such arrangements."
"The motive is either for power or for sex. Mrs. Qing sounds like she's not too young, so it can't be for beauty." As a woman, although Feng Jiu has a peerless appearance, she has never been complacent about it. I don't even have the idea to use this advantage to do something, so I always greatly underestimate the influence of beauty on men.
Bao Buqu smiled: "You guessed wrong this time, it's just for beauty."
"Mrs. Qing is 33 years old. She is the widow of Qing Wanshan, the widow of the former dynasty. Major General Huang is her high school classmate. The two had a relationship before, but they were separated. When they met again, Major General Huang wanted to pursue her again, so that's why they did this." Go to great lengths to buy and sell land.”
"I see. It can be regarded as infatuation."
The two chatted and laughed, and turned their heads to find that Feng Ling and Qiu Sheng, Wu Ma, and Bao Buyi's entourage had disappeared, probably because they were really impatient to hear them talk further and further away.
Bao Buyi looked at Feng Jiu seriously: "If you enter the officialdom, you will definitely be a wise boss who cannot be fooled by your subordinates."
Feng Jiu pursed her lips and smiled, "I can't be an official, and I don't like to worry about it by nature." I didn't expect that behind a piece of land, there would be such a thing that would happen in a legendary novel, so she likes to travel, and she can see all kinds of anecdotes Strange events and folk customs often bring different insights.
Of course, what Feng Jiu likes most is eating, and eating wherever he goes, this is Feng Jiu's self-confessed lifelong pursuit.
Bao Buqu looked around and led Feng Jiu into a snack shop.
Feng Jiu had tested his blood type, and it was type AB, so his natural taste is lighter, which makes sense.
Although in Fengtian’s hometown, she also loves Northeast dishes with rich oil and red sauce like Baofayuan, but occasionally she is okay with it. On weekdays, she mostly eats steamed and mixed vegetables that are soft and easy to digest with less salt and less condiments. , when she was out of the house, she was even more careful everywhere, lest she would be happy with her mouth and suffer physically, and it would not be beautiful to be bedridden if she was not acclimatized.
But this Cantonese cuisine really suits her appetite - you can serve [-] or [-] kinds in one meal, a small portion, dim sum, soup, vegetables, fish and meat, not spicy, not salty, not sweet and not sour, moderate taste, easy to eat There is no burden after finishing the stomach and intestines, and she even fell in love with Guangzhou, which is a magical place.
Cantonese people are extremely pragmatic, don't want to make a name for themselves, and there are few people who swell their faces to pretend to be fat.
Bao Buqu looked at Feng Jiu's satisfied face, and asked with a smile, "Would you like some wine? I heard that the big girls in the Northeast can drink a few sips."
Feng Jiu didn't answer him directly, but just asked with a smile: "Then do you eat mice? I heard that Cantonese don't eat benches except for four-legged ones, and two-legged ones don't eat people."
Bao Buyi laughed.
"But I really saw some Northeast women hanging cradles on the beams and smoking hookahs themselves."
"Well, there are quite a few of these in the countryside. The cradle is called a car, and the child is placed in the car, because the child is afraid that the child will be bitten by a snake or a mouse; smoking a hookah is because there are few women, and it is influenced by the Manchus. , the status of women is naturally higher than that in other parts of China, and girls who have not been out of the court are called "jerks". If men can smoke, they will naturally smoke too, not to be outdone."
"So that's how it is," Bao Buqu said with emotion, "so people are full of prejudice and discrimination, many of them are preconceived, but why is it like this?"
Feng Jiu said calmly: "In order to find a sense of superiority, in order to enjoy the feeling of superiority for no reason, I don't understand it."
Fengjiu walked slowly all the way, and suddenly saw a "Watson's Pharmacy". Branch. Everything is complete."
Feng Jiu let out a "huh" and really wanted to see what's inside. When he went in, he really lived up to his expectations: "Tiger Balm Tiger Oil", "Nanyang Yonglongzheng Safflower Oil", "Kyoto Nianci'an Chuanbei Loquat Lotion" "... Fengjiu bought a few bottles and planned to give them to grandma when she went back.
Fengjiu opened his eyes all around, and saw a billboard on the ground next to it, which sold "Nivea beauty cream", but the pharmacy actually sells beauty cream?She really admired the operator of this pharmacy—as long as it is related to people, it doesn't indulge in medicines, and it doesn't stick to one style, it will be sold in it, no wonder the business is so good.
The billboard said that this beauty cream can remove blackheads and prevent clogged pores. Thinking of the many female relatives in the family, she bought a lot of bottles in one go; looking to the side, there are still standing on the shelf. How many bottles of Dutch water?
Bao Buqu smiled: "In fact, in Europe and the United States, it is very common for pharmacies to have soda water counters, because the production method is simple and the profits are very rich. Behind this pharmacy is a big company, which has long established its own soda water factory. It’s been more than 60 years.” By the way, in the south, Dutch water is called soda water.
Feng Jiu nodded in surprise, can he still do business like this?She bought two bottles of orange-flavored Dutch water, and held the soda bottles in her hands and looked at them carefully: the caps of the bottles were crown-shaped—unlike the soda bottles in the north, the bottom was oval, and the cork was unstoppable. The cork is still tied with a wire - this new type of bottle cap can even be opened with a chopstick, and the soda bottle with a cork is as laborious as opening champagne, and you have to cover it with your hand, or spray it. It's everywhere.
Bao Buqu asked the clerk to help open it. The clerk took out a small tool with a strange shape and a round hole in the middle, put it on the bottle cap and opened it together.Feng Jiu took a sip and suddenly thought of something, so he looked at Bao Buyi with a smile.
Bao Buqu also smiled, and asked, "Do you want to know how I would get up if no one helped me?"
Feng Jiu looked at Bao Buqu with a glance: "I guess you can use your teeth."
Bao Buqu laughed again, revealing a mouthful of snow-white strong teeth that were not too small, "Those who know me don't ask for help."
Then he asked: "How does it compare with Fengtian's Bawangsi soda?"
Feng Jiu tasted it, and said seriously: "Each has its own characteristics, and they all taste good."
Bao Buqu also drank a few sips, smacking his lips, "It's all really good."
Feng Jiu insisted on paying the bill by herself, so Bao Buqu could only let her carry the cloth bag stuffed with a lot of things for her. After thinking about it later, he put the things down, left the address, and asked the Watsons clerk to deliver it to Bao's house go.
After walking out for a while, they met Fengling Wu Mama and the others. It happened that everyone ate what was supposed to be eaten, and went shopping, so they walked back to the parking place and got into the car. Ling and the others exchanged what they ate and played just now, which was very pleasant.
From then on, Feng Jiu took Feng Ling and the others with him when he had nothing to do. If Bao Buqu was at home, he would accompany him; and several nearby small county towns, stopping wherever I go, eating, and playing. During the period, I inevitably entered a few temples, and accompanied the devout Buddhist Wu Ma to worship again and again. Bye, it's just that Fengjiu resolutely did not agree with Wu Ma's vain attempt to make a wish, because if the wish is fulfilled, there is a rule that one must come back to fulfill the wish in the future, but who knows if Wu Ma will have time to come to Guangzhou again in the future?
The Bao family spares no effort in taking care of them, and must let the distinguished northern guests feel the sincerity of the Xiaoxiang Bao family.
Another incident was that when the Patriarch of the Bao family saw his son returning with his business partner's young daughter, he thought it was overjoyed, thinking that his son, who had always been unrestrained and unrestrained, had finally moved his mind to get married and settled down; Asked cryptically, the son who had never said anything was silent, and only told his father not to ask about this matter, he knew it well, and left without saying a word.Mr. Bao couldn't help but feel sad, it seems that Miss Tang's Sixth Miss has promised someone, and she is a high-ranking person, otherwise he is also the son of a big family and a big business, so he won't want to fight for him.
In fact, as soon as Feng Jiu arrived at Bao's house, he received a call from Ning Zheng who was far away in Fengtian. His voice on the phone was as usual, calm and calm, but he was very happy that she had arrived safely, and told her to take care of herself, and said that if he had time , he would come to Guangzhou to pick him up in person; at the end he solemnly asked Feng Jiu to write to himself on a weekly basis.
Feng Jiu didn't believe that he had the time to pick her up. After all, her father also told her on the phone that the Ning army was now rectifying the army, and many things were on him, the army commander, so he could go wherever he wanted.It's not that easy.
As for writing letters, Feng Jiu would write letters to his family and classmates on Sundays every week, so in the end he wrote a few lines to Ning Zheng intentionally, and it was not a problem to perfunctory the past.
Feng Jiu naturally did not expect that after arriving in Fengtian, the letters she wrote would lie on the table of the commander of the Third Army of the Ning Army. After writing all the letters, it is time to go where.
Ning Zheng frowned as he read the letters one by one—how to open the envelopes without any trace was simply a necessary skill for Ning Jun's intelligence agents.
He soon discovered that the letters to Melanie were the most valuable to read: in the letters, she would explain to Melanie in detail where she went, what Cantonese customs she saw, what delicious food she ate, And what kind of jokes did these northerners make, their Cantonese has improved again, and the title "Brother Bao" is appearing more and more in almost every letter, accounting for at least one third of the letters. magnitude.
Zhi Changsheng saw that the hands of the legion commander who had been under pressure for more than a month were still calm, but the increasingly cold breath was still disturbing. It is not easy to keep the letter in its original form after being crumpled into a ball.
There is an iron box on Ning Zheng's desk, and there is a bundle of letters written to him by Feng Jiu.This time, Ning Zheng read very slowly as before. Compared with the letter to Wu Meilan, the few lines of perfunctory words on the letter paper are the difference between a premature baby and a full-term fat boy, except for the dry greetings and routine Report yourself that everything is fine, nothing else.
Even so, Ning Zheng would treasure the letter to himself and put it in the tin box every time after reading the two very contrasting letters, and read it several times from time to time.
One day, after Ning Zheng finished his business, he habitually opened the tin box and took out a few five letters to read in turn. Zhi Changsheng walked in softly and put something like a tightly rolled scroll on his desk. Turned around and left without saying a word.
Ning Zheng glanced at him suspiciously, untied the kraft paper rope tied to it, and unfolded it, his eyes suddenly froze.
This... the pair of young men and women above are exactly Feng Jiu and himself. Feng Jiu lay on his back, closed his eyes, and seemed to be asleep, and his hands were bent back, hidden in the hollow of Feng Jiu's legs. A face turned slightly to look at her profile.He stood on a high step, with deep and shallow maple forests on both sides, and a silver light flashed in the distance, which should be the inner lake of Beiling, Sili Lake.Isn't this the time last year when Feng Jiu sent Wei Yuanhua away and climbed up the inner mausoleum of the Beiling, paralyzed from exhaustion, and then carried her down?
Ning Zheng stared at the eyes on the screen where he turned his head and looked at Feng Jiu. It turns out that when he looked at her, he looked like this. It cannot be mistaken, it cannot be denied...
He suddenly pasted Feng Jiu on the photo to his slightly trembling lips, his lovesickness was overwhelming, and he couldn't stop it.
In the photo, Fengjiu smiled on his lips, sleeping ignorantly and carefree, with playful braids hanging down to one side, just like its owner, looking innocent and innocent, wrinkling a pool of spring water without self-consciousness Know……
