City of Streamer - Chapter 14
Really listen.
The two faces were very close, and their breaths were intertwined. Feng Shizhen only needed to tiptoe gently to kiss the young man’s warm and beautiful lips.
Feng Shizhen used a lot of strength to resist this powerful gravitational force and took a small step back.
“Be careful on the way back.” Feng Shizhen said, no longer looking at the young man’s expectant gaze, he turned and hurried away.
The gloomy air is like an infatuated person who refuses to leave when he comes. Shanghai has been cloudy and rainy for many days in a row, and it is getting colder day by day. Pedestrians put on thick coats to resist the cold rain in the morning and the freezing wind in the evening.
At this time of year, the hospital is always crowded with patients with colds and colds. Even a non-medical staff like Feng Shizhen was borrowed to help coordinate patients in the hall.
The child who got the injection was crying. A child’s cry, like a dog barking in the middle of the night, can drive all the children in the corridor. The parents were in a hurry, and they couldn’t help but scold the nurses loudly. The little nurse was only seventeen or eighteen years old, and she was scolded until her face was flushed red, and she lowered her head to wipe her tears.
Feng Shizhen couldn’t see it, he stepped forward and pulled the little nurse behind him.
“Ma’am, the hospital is overcrowded now, I believe you can see that. If there are beds, we will divide them according to the grades, and we will never favor one over the other. The hospital has limited equipment, please understand.”
The woman thought that the clothes should be the wife of a wealthy family. She was very arrogant and pointed at Feng Shizhen: “Don’t fool me. Later, there are beds. We waited for so long, why are there still no beds? Your hospital is also Do you want to watch people cook?”
Feng Shizhen said patiently: “Your child just has a cold and fever, and does not need to be hospitalized…”
“Are you a doctor? How do you know if my child needs to be hospitalized or not?” the woman shouted, “If my child has troubles, can you be held responsible?”
The little nurse couldn’t help muttering: “They say your child is not seriously ill. Why do you still hope that your child will be seriously ill?”
Feng Shizhen hurriedly turned around and rebuked: “Don’t say a few words.”
But it’s too late. When the woman heard this, her eyebrows stood upright, she was furious, and rushed over like a tigress.
“You curse my son to death?”
The little nurse was so frightened that she hid behind Feng Shizhen and used Feng Shizhen as a human head shield. The woman showed a pair of sharp claws and was about to scratch Feng Shizhen’s face. #####
forty one
A pair of hands quickly clasped the woman’s hands, and the tall body blocked the front.
Feng Shixun held the woman firmly and smiled very tenderly: “Madam, I’m a doctor. What I say should be more credible than a nurse?”
When the woman saw that the other was a handsome young doctor, her arrogance was reduced by three points, and when she saw that his smile was gentle and refined, and his face was a little red, she said embarrassingly, “You must give me an explanation for this matter.”
Feng Shixun squatted down to examine the child, listened to lung sounds, and said, “Your child’s illness is indeed serious, but he doesn’t need to be hospitalized. I’ll prescribe you some new and effective western medicine, which will definitely be cured. It’s just that There are many sick children in the hospital, and if he continues to stay in the hospital, he is afraid that he will spread other diseases.”
The woman was already obeying Feng Shixun’s words at this moment, and she kept nodding her head. Feng Shixun prescribed a prescription. The woman asked the nanny to get the medicine, and hurried away with the child in her arms.
The little nurse came out from behind Feng Shizhen, ran to Feng Shixun with her eyes full of spring, and said with a blushing face, “Thank you, Dr. Feng. If it weren’t for you, we would definitely be scratched by that woman!”
Feng Shixun didn’t even look at her, he strode towards Feng Shizhen, looked at her up and down with his arms around her, and scolded, “Can you not be so arrogant and move forward with everything. What if you get hurt?”
Feng Shizhen didn’t say anything yet, but the nurse came over shyly and said, “Don’t worry about Dr. Feng, I will take good care of Shizhen for you in the future.”
Feng Shixun took the girl and left, and before parting, he glanced back at the nurse, his eyes were as cold as ice, which made the bones chill. It was the first time the nurse saw the always gentle and elegant Dr. Feng with such an expression. She was startled and scared, and her eyes turned red.
“Doctor Feng is too…”
While sorting out the medical records, the head nurse said coldly: “You use someone’s girl as a meat shield. If he hadn’t come in time, Shizhen’s face would have been caught by that woman. I’ll slap you in the face instead. If you have the heart, how can you still have the time to deal with you?”
The nurse burst into tears and ran away with her face covered.
“It’s scary when you’re angry, just like your father.” On the way home, Feng Shizhen put his arms around his brother’s arm and acted coquettishly, trying to make him happy.
“I’m still angry.” Feng Shixun glared at her, “When will you be able to change your meddling problem?”
“They are all employees of the same hospital. It’s supposed to help each other. How can they be nosy?” Feng Shizhen said, “Sometimes, people who are alone in themselves often end up betraying everyone.”
Feng Shixun hummed disdainfully.
The brothers and sisters walked into the courtyard of Shikumen. Mrs. Feng saw her son through the window and hurriedly opened the window.
“Sehun, you came back just in time. Really, Jiashang brought a piece of Jinhua ham today!”
Feng Shixun asked the girl in confusion, “Who is Jiashang?”
Feng Shizhen secretly said that it was not good. Rong Jiashang has been arriving every other day recently. I didn’t think that he came here yesterday, but he came again today.
She stammered, “It’s… my student.”
“Where are the students, why are they all running home?” Feng Shixun muttered.
“Sir!” Rong Jiashang stuck his head out of the window, “I’ll bring the latest British scientific journal, you must like it!”
The young man has a handsome face and a well-dressed suit. At first glance, he looks like a rich man. Feng Shixun suddenly realized.
“Eldest Young Master Rong Family?”
Feng Shizhen lowered his head and said, “Let’s go up.”
Feng Shixun followed the girl closely, lowered his voice and said, “He often comes to you recently?”
Feng Shizhen took three steps and took two steps, quickly climbed up the stairs, and ran into the house like a rabbit returning to its nest. Feng Shixun was full of anger and followed her through the door.
Rong Jiashang pointed to a stack of magazines on the coffee table for Feng Shizhen to read, and then looked at Feng Shixun with a friendly smile.
“You are Mr.’s eldest brother. It’s a pleasure to meet. I’m Rong Jiashang.”
Reach out and don’t hit the smiling face, not to mention that after Feng Shizhen resigned, he only said that he was upset because of the noisy wife and concubine of the Rong family, and did not say the first half of Rong Jia’s bad words. Although Feng Shixun hated this son and brother at first sight, he couldn’t be inexplicably disrespectful.
“Shizhen has never mentioned Young Master Rong to me.” Feng Shixun shook hands with Rong Jiashang, and said meaningfully.
Feng Shizhen picked up a magazine and began to read it carefully.
Rong Jiashang said: “Mr. teaches many students, and I am nothing special.”
Feng Shixun said politely, “My sister is at your house, thank you for taking care of me.”
“I didn’t take good care of Mr. Rong.” Rong Jia said, “otherwise, Mr. will not resign.”
Feng Shizhen turned over a page of the magazine and looked at it intently.
Rong Jiashang changed back to the appearance of an innocent rich boy, and said with a smile, “I would like to ask my husband to go back to teach me and my sister. Doctor Feng, please help me persuade her.”
Feng Shizhen’s hand trembled as he flipped through the magazine.
“Why?” Feng Shixun smiled but didn’t smile, “Go back and continue to be angry?”
Rong Jiashang bowed his hands to Feng Shixun very respectfully and bowed: “Before, I was naughty and caused a lot of trouble for my husband. After my husband left, I reflected on it every day and regretted it very much. Now I ask him to go back, just because I want her to give it to me. An opportunity to make a change.”
Feng Shixun narrowed his eyes and stared at the overly handsome young man in front of him with a half-smile: “I believe that Shizhen has forgiven you. Now that you have your heart set, there is no need to go back. Shizhen, isn’t it?”
Feng Shizhen immersed himself in a riddle in the magazine and pretended not to hear it.
Rong Jia smiled slightly: “Mr. has always said that her ideal is to teach and educate people. Isn’t it better to be able to do what she likes, with a high salary and leisure time? Mr. is now working in the hospital, running around morning and night, very tired. What. Doesn’t Dr. Feng feel sorry for the girl?”
Feng Shixun twitched the corner of his mouth fiercely: “I feel sorry for her, so I won’t let her go back to the Rong family. Although she didn’t say anything, I can see that she resigned because she was wronged in the Rong family.”
Rong Jia last meal.
Feng Shizhen threw the magazine on the coffee table and stood up.
“Don’t fight.” She said, “I’ll go back to Rong’s house.”
“what?”
“gentlemen!”
Two men, one furious, one ecstatic.
“Really,” Feng Shixun’s voice was full of anger, “If you don’t like working in the hospital, I’ll find another one for you. The Rong family, I forbid you to go back.”
Feng Shizhen said calmly: “Brother, I am twenty-three years old, and I can make my own decisions.”
Feng Shixun took a deep breath, said sorry to Rong Jiashang, then grabbed Feng Shizhen’s arm, dragged her into the room, and slammed the door.
Mrs. Feng stood at the entrance of the kitchen holding a shovel. It was the first time even she saw her son so angry, her eyes widened with fright.
In the room, Feng Shizhen shook off his brother’s hand.
Feng Shixun said angrily, “What are you thinking?”
Feng Shizhen sat down beside the bed: “The Rong family is not a tiger’s den. Of course, such a rich family naturally has all kinds of shameful secrets. But so what? I’m just a governess, do my job well , and the salary is monthly. I have taught so many students, and the young master of the Rong family is the best student to teach. Except for the last time I was made trouble by the aunt of the Rong family, I have been very happy before. “
Feng Shixun took a heavy breath and sat down beside her.
“The kid outside is not a few years younger than you…”
“Even if he is older than me, I am also a teacher, and he is just a student.” Feng Shizhen was serious.
Feng Shixun’s tone softened slightly: “Even if you like to teach, why go back to Rong’s house?”
“The school’s salary is not high, and the work is tiring. As a tutor, the wealthy family is almost the same, and the Rong family is a good choice.” Feng Shizhen said, “Brother, you have always respected my choice. Besides, I can’t see it. What’s wrong with this job?”
Feng Shixun’s cheeks were tightly tensed, and he said bluntly, “I’m afraid that kid outside will be unruly to you!”
Feng Shizhen’s cheeks were slightly red, and he said with a smile: “Big brother naturally thinks that everything is good when he sees a girl. But he is the eldest young master of the Rong family, whether it is a lady, a lady or a happy face, he has seen too many, and he will look at someone several years older than him. woman? We always have this little self-knowledge.”
Feng Shixun was blocked so much that he could not speak.
Feng Shizhen continued: “Besides, Rong Jiashang plans to go to Yanjing University to study at the beginning of next year. I can’t teach him for a few months. Brother, don’t overestimate him, and don’t underestimate me!”
Feng Shixun looked at the girl helplessly. He deeply felt that his sister had changed.
Feng Shizhen used to be a very assertive girl, but now she has an irresistible determination. It was like a sword, which had been opened before he knew it, and the sharp edge was sharp.
He felt uneasy, but didn’t know what to do? This is his only sister. She has been obedient and obedient since she was a child. He loves her to the bottom of his heart, and is reluctant to let her suffer any grievances. He only hopes that she will never grow up and live happily under his wings.
But just as he was away from home, this devastating blow made his little sister grow up quickly and become independent.
Feng Shixun felt panic and uneasy, just because he felt that his real son didn’t seem to need him anymore.
“Are you arguing?” Mrs. Feng listened nervously outside. “Sehun used to take care of his sister. But the two brothers and sisters never quarreled.”
Rong Jia supported Mrs. Feng: “Don’t worry, Auntie. I think Dr. Feng is reluctant.”
The door opened, and Feng Shixun walked out with a livid face and glanced at Rong Jia.
Rong Jia bowed.
“Master Rong.”
“Just call me Jia Shang.”
Feng Shixun gritted his teeth and said coldly, “Please make sure to take good care of your concubine this time. Although I am a small doctor, I have no power and no power, but I am the least likely to see my family suffer the slightest grievance. Small people often have unexpected things. great effect.”
“The younger generation has been taught.” Rong Jiashang was very humble.
“Don’t scare him anymore.” Feng Shizhen came out and said to Rong Jia, “I will go to the hospital to resign tomorrow.”
Rong Jiashang smiled brightly at her, “Then I’ll ask Li Ma to clean up the husband’s room tomorrow! Fang Lin and the others must be very happy to know.”
Rong Jia accepted it when he saw it, and politely declined Mrs. Feng’s stay. Feng Shizhen sent him out.
The sky is not dark, and the alley is a rich blue. The streetlights are already on, and the orange light illuminates the small place.
“Satisfied?” Feng Shizhen asked.
“Satisfied.” Rong Jiashang wagged his tail cheerfully, and reconfirmed uneasily, “Sir, are you really going to change?”
“I won’t change it.” Feng Shizhen sighed, “I really can’t beat you. I’ll say it before, don’t make fun of me this time!”
“No way!” Rong Jia looked at her with undisguised eagerness in his eyes, “If I want to do anything irregular, just slap me in the face.”
Feng Shizhen laughed and laughed: “You, you, raised your eyebrows at me before, and every three sentences you said had to be ridiculing and arrogant. It turned out to be a paper tiger. I made a lot of trouble, and you immediately relented. Now, be careful with a shy face. Are you saying you’re not making trouble for yourself?”
“Since it’s an apology, I naturally have to lower my face and be small.” Rong Jia tilted his head and smiled a bit roguely, “To celebrate, I’ll invite you to Sichuan cuisine tomorrow, okay? I know that the new opening on Fuzhou Road A very authentic Sichuan restaurant…”
“You don’t need to invite me to dinner.” Feng Shizhen politely declined, “I have completed the resignation procedures, and I will tell you. Don’t come again in the next few days. My eldest brother…”
Rong Jiashang was a little disappointed, but he didn’t force it, and said, “I am not close to Fanglin and the others, but I will try my best to protect them. This is the responsibility of the brothers in the world. Sir, you have a good brother.”
Feng Shizhen smiled gratefully and watched Rong Jia walk away briskly, then turned around and walked home slowly.
In the shadows by the side of the road, a man was smoking a cigarette in silence, sparks twinkling.
Feng Shizhen walked past him and whispered, “I’m going back to Rong’s house.”
The man exhaled a cigarette: “Seventh Master asked you to deal with that surnamed Yang.”
Feng Shizhen hummed softly and passed him by. #####
Forty-two
The news that Feng Shizhen was going to return to Rong’s house made Mrs. Rong accidentally drop a ball of wool again.
“Do you really want to come back?”
“That’s what the eldest young master said.” The aunt said, “Let Ma Li clean up Miss Feng’s room.”
“Master is actually right?” Mrs. Rong said with a smile, “I don’t think this Miss Feng is as aloof as she looks on the face, and I guess she has a bit of interest in Jiashang. Otherwise, she would be willing to come back if such a thing happened. , are not afraid of being gossiped.”
The auntie said, “I heard from Mr. Yang that Ms. Feng’s salary in the hospital is not high, and her work is very tiring. After thinking about it, she still feels relaxed at our house.”
“Whatever she is.” Mrs. Rong thought about it, “Thanks to her horizontally and vertically, I drove the little goblin from the Sun family away. Now the Sun family doesn’t have the confidence to go out alone.”
The auntie said, “Ma’am, there is no Auntie Sun now, in case the master thinks that Miss Feng…”
Mrs. Rong sneered, “It’s not Miss Feng, it’s Miss Zhang, Miss Li, can I control who the master likes? Besides, I think the eldest young master is really interested in her. The master should not rob people with his son… best Grab it! Jiashang can’t grab his father’s. In the end, either he was sent out by his father, or he went out in a fit of anger!”
Mrs. Rong thought that if Rong Jia would not return in the future, the family business of the Rong family would inevitably fall into the hands of the little concubine, and she would become the queen dowager who ruled under the curtain, so she was not at ease.
Rong Jia was sitting in the study with a cup of coffee, flipping through an English airplane magazine, and was engrossed in it.
Rong Fanghua probed her brain at the door.
“Just say anything.” Rong Jiashang seemed to have eyes behind his head.
Rong Fanghua said, “Sister Lan Xin called us to see the horse racing, and stop by Xianshi Department Store.”
“What?” Rong Jia glanced at her, “Ask me for money to buy champagne tickets? Or are you short of money to buy clothes?”
Rong Fanghua said, “Sister Lan Xin wants to buy you a birthday present, let us be a staff officer.”
“It turned out to be inquiring about my preferences.” Rong Jia said casually, “Whether it’s a watch or a lapel pin, just buy one.”
After all, he took out a handful of banknotes and gave it to his sister: “If you like what you like, buy it too.”
Miss Rong’s monthly pocket money is paid from the public service, 15 yuan a month. Rong Fanglin’s daily expenses are subsidized by Mrs. Rong, while Rong Fanghua is a concubine, and the aunt’s wife does not have enough money to subsidize it. The ladies are always socializing on weekdays and it is inevitable to compare, and fifteen yuan is not enough. Rong Jia said that the amount of money was several dozen yuan. Although Rong Fanghua said that it was not bad, he was also very moved.
“Big brother,” Rong Fanghua asked in a low voice, holding the money, “Mr. Feng really promised to come back.”
“Yeah.” Rong Jia said, “Aren’t you happy?”
“Of course I’m happy!” Rong Fanghua said hurriedly, “Both my eldest sister and I hate that Mr. Gao before, and we all look forward to Mr. Feng’s return. But… will you still marry Sister Lan Xin?”
“Probably.” Rong Jia stirred the half-cold coffee. “The marriage has not been decided, and the eight characters have not been written. What does this have to do with Mr. Feng’s return?”
“But you are not…”
“Mr. Feng is back to teach.” Rong Jiashang said indifferently, “Don’t think too much.”
Rong Fanghua blushed and ran away with her head down.
Yang Xiucheng was walking across the living room and almost bumped into Rong Fanghua, who was running around. Rong Fanghua was startled.
“What’s wrong with Fanghua? What about the master?”
“Father is in the small study.” Rong Fanghua said.
When Yang Xiucheng passed by the big study, he said to Rong Jia, “Shang Jia, you’d better come and listen to this matter.”
Rong Jiashang heard the strangeness in his tone, closed the book and stood up.
In the small study, Rong Dingkun stood by the window, carrying a small pot, carefully watering two pots of orchids.
For more than half a month, he seemed to be four or five years old, with gray temples, heavy bags under his eyes, and his clear eyes began to become cloudy, finally becoming in line with his original age.
Yang Xiucheng lowered his voice and said in an orderly manner: “I found a teacher from the Academy of Fine Arts. According to the description of the delivery guy that night, I drew a few portraits of the robbers and sent them to my brothers to see. I was at the dock before. The two brothers who saw Miss Sun on the boat recognized one of them with a scar on his chin, and he was one of the men who sent Miss Sun to the boat.”
With the first bang, the copper pot fell to the ground, splashing everywhere. Rong Dingkun waved again. The pot of precious orchid that he had carefully maintained for many years was also swept to the ground, and the pottery pot fell to pieces.
Yang Xiucheng lowered his head and lowered his eyes: “These people are all raw faces, and their origins cannot be found out. I have discussed with Master Zhao, and I suspect they are from the south. It may be the Ruan family who robbed us of the waterway last year. But it has not been determined yet. .”
“How did they get in touch with the Sun family?” Rong Jiashang asked coldly, “How can the Sun family contact the outside world without leaving home?”
Yang Xiucheng said: “There are only two people who have contacts with Miss Sun and can often come and go in and out of the Rong Mansion. One is Feng Shizhen, and the other is from the Sun family.”
Rong Jia’s eyes were sharp and sharp: “Feng Shizhen doesn’t do any good to help the Sun family.”
Yang Xiucheng glanced at Rong Jia embarrassedly, and said, “We also think that Miss Feng is not too suspicious. Then it’s the Sun family…”
With red eyes, Rong Dingkun pushed Yang Xiucheng and Rong Jia away without saying a word, strode out of the study, went straight to the second floor, and kicked open the second concubine’s door.
There was a thud, followed by a loud slap. The second concubine’s sharp cry resounded throughout the house.
“Master—Master is wronged! I really don’t know!”
Rong Dingkun’s furious roar was like a wounded lion, mixed with thunder, and was about to slash the second concubine to death.
“You can’t even take care of yourself, you can’t give birth to a son, and you’re helping your mother’s family to pit me. Why don’t you die?”
There was a crackling sound from the room, mixed with the miserable cries and pleadings of the second concubine, and the weak voice of the old mother persuading her to fight.
Rong Jiashang stood under the stairs with Yang Xiucheng, and saw the two eldest girls of the Rong family hurried over from the yard, their faces full of horror.
The twin girls born to the second concubine were frightened and stood at the door crying hysterically. Rong Fanglin hurriedly asked the old mother to hold the sisters down.
Mrs. Rong sat in the living room, her face flushed with excitement. She couldn’t help listening to it for a while, then she slowly got up and took her aunt upstairs to persuade her.
“Master, take a breather and hurt your body, but your loved ones hurt your enemies quickly. If you lose something, you will lose it. Your body is the priceless treasure of our family.”
Rong Dingkun stood in a mess, his face was purple and he was panting. He smashed the room to a pulp, the vanity mirror was shattered, the powder was scattered all over the floor, the perfume bottle was smashed, and the smell was choking.
The second concubine’s hair was messy, and she was crying in the arms of the old mother with her big belly. Mrs. Rong looked at the red five-fingerprints on her pretty face, and felt as happy as she drank iced sour plum juice on a hot summer day.
“Second sister is pregnant. It’s not good to hurt the child in her stomach.” Mrs. Rong stretched out her hand to support Rong Dingkun, “Let’s go out first, and don’t be in a hurry to say something.”
Rong Dingkun waved her hand irritably, pointed at the second concubine, and said ruthlessly: “You better pray that your sister never comes back. Otherwise, if she steps on the pier in front of her, I will tear her to pieces in the back. It’s gone!”
The second concubine was both wronged and afraid, so she couldn’t speak, so she beat her chest and cried.
“In the future, no one from the Sun family will be allowed to come to the door!” Rong Dingkun threw his hand away.
Mrs. Rong said with a sneer, “Let the aunties come up and clean up the house. No one can live here for the time being. Let the wronged second sister sleep in the guest room for the time being.”
After everyone left, the second concubine held the old mother she brought from her parents’ house and cried so hard.
“People are still being killed these days? Isn’t this forcing me to die? Qing’er, the unscrupulous hoof who kills thousands of knives, she just left, and she still hurts me like this! Rong Dingkun, you ruthless widow. Righteous, I’ve been with you for ten years, and you don’t even give me this trust. Let’s just go to the Huangpu River with the mother and daughter, and save yourself from being abused here!”
The old mother wiped her tears and persuaded: “Miss, think about the young master in your stomach.”
The second concubine hugged her stomach, “I don’t know if it’s the young master. If I’m still a girl, I really won’t survive in the Rong family.”
The old mother tried her best to coax her. The two packed a package of important things in the house and moved to the guest room opposite.
The old mothers who were watching the lively outside rushed into the room to clean up, looking around, trying to find something to go to Mrs. Rong for credit.
The battle between the wife and concubine of the Rong family is about to come to an end, and Mrs. Rong is seeing a steady victory.
People may not be able to work, but they are very capable of holding high and stepping down. That night, the second concubine didn’t even bring dinner, but the old mother went downstairs to beg for food and hot water.
The second concubine cursed Mrs. Rong every time she took a bite of food.
“Master can’t live without a woman, and he will definitely find another one. When will she be proud?”
The old mother said, “I heard in the kitchen just now that Miss Feng is coming back to teach again.”
“What?” The second concubine was furious. “She had such a trouble with the eldest young master, and she still has the face to come back?”
“I heard that the eldest young master spent ten days and came to apologize every day to beg her back.”
The second concubine sneered, her eyes shining: “The eldest young master is indeed worthy of the kind of the master, and even the women he likes are all the same. But I don’t think the Huang family can see the eldest young master’s goodness, I guess he wished that he was abolished by women. Rong. Dingkun, if you think you are powerful, I think you will be ruined by women sooner or later!”
After such a riot, the second concubine felt that her body was not good, and she tossed and turned at night and couldn’t sleep. In the second half of the night, I finally fell asleep, but was suddenly awakened by a severe abdominal pain.
The old mother turned on the light and lifted the quilt, only to see a large mass of blood stains soaked on the quilt under the second concubine, like a red lotus blooming in the snow.
That day happened to be Feng Shixun’s night shift. He fell asleep in the duty room when he was woken up by a nurse who said that an ambulance had brought a pregnant woman who was born prematurely.
Feng Shixun asked the nurse to contact the obstetrician on duty while going out to pick up the car.
The pregnant woman was only accompanied by an old mother and a footman, and she was emotionally excited and kept crying.
“Doctor, you’re going to save my child. He’s going to die, and I’m not going to live either!”
Feng Shixun saw that there was still a purple five-fingerprint on the pregnant woman’s face. She must have been beaten not long ago. Obviously, premature birth was related to this.
The nurse ran over and said, “The phone number of Dr. Zhao’s house on duty can’t be reached.”
Feng Shixun looked at his watch and said resolutely: “The amniotic fluid has broken, so I can’t hold it. Enter the delivery room, I’ll deliver the baby!”
“Can you do it?” the family’s footman insisted, “I can tell you what happened to this child, you can’t afford to lose your life.”
Feng Shixun hummed: “If you want the child to be safe, why beat a pregnant woman before?”
The steward was at a loss for words, and said again: “No matter what the adults are, you must protect the children!”
Feng Shixun was walking to the delivery room. Hearing this, he turned his head and said sharply: “Tell your master, in our hospital, the size is life, and it must be protected!” #####

At dawn, a faint cry of a baby heralded the arrival of new life.
The second concubine lay sweating profusely on the delivery bed and asked eagerly, “Is it a boy? Is it?”
Feng Shixun held the child to her: “It’s a boy. Congratulations.”
Seeing the little soft flesh between the baby’s legs, the second concubine slackened, and her pale face burst into ecstasy.
“Great! Haha! I have a son! Huang Shujun, I have a son! Rong Dingkun, I gave birth to a son for you!”
When Feng Shixun heard Rong Dingkun’s name, he turned to look at her in astonishment.
“I have a son…” The second concubine muttered, and she was so tired that she fell asleep.
The servant called Rong Mansion to announce the good news. After listening for a long time, the auntie put down the phone, looking a little embarrassed.
“How is it?” Mrs. Rong stared at her. “Have you given birth? Is it a male or a female?”
“I was born…” The aunt stammered, “Yes… a boy…”
Mrs. Rong stayed for a moment, then slowly sat down with the back of the sofa.
“Ma’am,” the aunt said hurriedly, “it’s a seven-month-old premature baby. The hospital said that he was very weak and is still in an incubator. They told us to be mentally prepared.”
Mrs. Rong’s face finally improved after brushing the lime mortar. She exhaled, and the corners of her mouth twitched twice with a half-smiley smile.
“Go and wake up the master.” She said lightly, “Tell him that he has another son.”
Feng Shizhen came to the hospital in the morning to go through the resignation procedures. She only worked for half a month, and according to the contract, she could only receive a salary of five yuan. Besides, she left in a hurry, and the hospital couldn’t find someone to replace her.
When Feng Shizhen was done, he went downstairs to look for his elder brother, and saw Feng Shixun leaning against the pillar in the corridor smoking a cigarette with a tired face.
“Are you busy on the night shift last night?” Feng Shizhen took his brother’s hand and waved the five-dollar bill in front of him, “I made a fortune, my sister, please go to Guangzhou Guild Hall for morning tea, okay? cut?”
Feng Shixun looked at his sister’s pretty smiling face, and the exhaustion from all night’s work suddenly disappeared.
“There’s something you should know,” he said. “In the early hours of the morning, I picked up a pregnant woman who was born prematurely, your employer’s concubine. At dawn, a son was born.”
Feng Shizhen’s smile froze.
Rong Dingkun is so lucky, can he have another son?
Feng Shixun put out the cigarette and said, “I see that Rong’s house is really messed up. Is this concubine the one who doesn’t deal with you? Now that she has given birth to a son, I’m afraid she will get tough again in the Rong’s house. You go back at this time. ,I’m worried.”
“I’m here to teach!” Feng Shizhen said heavily, “Brother, you always think too much.”
Feng Shixun smiled: “Yes! I’m tired and confused. Let’s go and have morning tea!”
Feng Shixun went back to the dormitory to take a shower, changed into a neat long gown, and took the girl’s hand to eat morning tea.
Walking to the entrance of the hospital hall, several stylish black cars drove over, blocking the sidewalk. The bodyguard in a suit opened the car door, and the Rong family and children got out of their cars.
Feng Shizhen and Rong Dingkun met face to face, quickly reacted, and called out, “Boss Rong.”
“Miss Feng?” Rong Dingkun was also a little surprised, “You are…”
Feng Shizhen said: “I came to the hospital to go through the resignation procedures. This is my brother.”
The footman who brought the second concubine to the hospital whispered to Rong Dingkun. Rong Dingkun immediately smiled warmly at Feng Shixun: “It turns out that Dr. Feng delivered Lin’er, and he is really the benefactor of our Rong family.”
The steward immediately gave the prepared red envelopes with both hands.
“Picture a lottery head, and ask Dr. Feng to accept it with a smile.”
Since they said so, Feng Shixun had no choice but to take it over.
The red envelopes are heavy, presumably the amount is not small.
“It’s inconvenient today. I’ll have a good life and thank Dr. Feng another day.” Rong Dingkun hurriedly went to see his younger son, and left after speaking in a hurry.
The two young ladies of the Rong family were very happy to see Feng Shizhen, and took her to talk for a while before leaving. Even Mrs. Rong gave Feng Shixun a few more glances.
The whole family, Rong Jia did not come. It seems that this person is rejected by his family, and sometimes it is not unreasonable.
After taking a seat in the restaurant, Feng Shixun calmly opened the red envelope and gave Feng Shizhen a look.
At least five hundred yuan, Feng Shixun’s salary for a whole year!
“Your boss is really generous!” Feng Shixun sneered, remembering the five fingerprints on the mother’s face.
“Come on.” Feng Shizhen said, “I see how many times Mrs. Rong has won or lost at the poker table, it’s the same number.”
Feng Shixun bluntly put away the red envelope.
Feng Shizhen returned to Rong’s house three days later.
The Rong family was quiet, somewhat unusual, as if there was a feeling of people going to the empty building. Feng Shizhen felt that it might be his own delusion. She felt that the grass in the yard had grown taller, but no one came to mow it. The entire mansion was already lush with vegetation, but at this moment it showed a gloomy aura.
“gentlemen!”
Rong Jiashang, wearing white clothes and grey pants, walked out of the living room, stood upright under the eaves, and smiled brightly at Feng Shizhen.
In an instant, the entire courtyard was illuminated.
“Why don’t you say it first, so I can pick you up.”
Feng Shizhen said: “After moving, the tram just arrived at the intersection, and it was very convenient to walk there.”
Rong Jia took the small suitcase in her hand and walked upstairs with her.
“You came back just in time. The elders are not at home. My wife and Aunt Wang have gone to Lingyin Temple in Hangzhou, and my father has not been home recently. Therefore, the family will be quiet for a long time recently.”
Feng Shizhen heard his voice outside the picture and smiled.
Rong Dingkun lost such a large amount of goods, even if he didn’t accompany him to bankruptcy, it was enough to hurt him for a long time. And the loss is so big, he must be eager to make up for it from other places.
Without Meng Xu’an’s detailed explanation, Feng Shizhen could analyze it himself. Rong Dingkun is likely to do a desperate but extremely profitable business in the near future. It’s almost the end of the year, if this account is not done well, the year will be unhappy.
That’s why Meng Xian sternly told Feng Shizhen to return to the Rong family as soon as possible, so as not to miss the good show.
Rong Jiashang sent Feng Shizhen to the bedroom door and did not go in.
“Look, sir, what else is missing, I’ll ask my mother to bring it up.” He looked calm, but there was a glimmer of hope in his eyes, like a child waiting to be praised.
The room has been rearranged with a larger desk and a brand new lamp. Feng Shizhen also noticed that there was a pot of orchid on the windowsill. The slender and elegant grass blades are stretched out, and the autumn gray-blue sky is outside the window, which has a quiet and calm atmosphere.
“What kind of orchid is this?” Feng Shizhen fiddled with the blades of grass.
“Jianlan.” Rong Jia’s eyes were like orchid leaves, and he was moved by the woman’s white and slender fingertips, “It’s very easy to raise, you don’t need to worry about it. The gardener has already fertilized when he moved the pot, so he only needs to water it occasionally. When the time comes, it will bloom, and it is very fragrant.”
During the Chinese New Year, he may not be still in the Rong Mansion.
Feng Shizhen smiled at Rong Jia, “It is said that orchids are raised by lazy people, but they are just right for me. Thank you.”
The elders were not at home, so they didn’t pay much attention. Feng Shizhen went downstairs directly to eat with Rong Jia and them. The young people have many topics, and there is no restraint during the banquet. They happily chat about movie stars and foreign news.
Rong Fanghua greedily drank more wine, blushed and said, “When I saw Mr. Feng the first day, I thought you were very kind, like a big sister of my own.”
Rong Fanglin also said: “I can’t stand that Mr. Gao for a long time. I often ask three questions and I don’t know, and in turn scold me for being so arrogant. Big brother finally did one thing right this time, that is, coaxing Mr. Feng back.”
Rong Jiashang sat across from him. Hearing this, he raised his head and smiled at Feng Shizhen, who was looking at him. The soft, warm light of the dining room made him even more handsome, with a charm that could deceive people.
Feng Shizhen also calmly returned him a gentle smile.
After dinner, the two girls went back to Xiaoyanglou. Feng Shizhen, according to his habit, still walks around the yard to digest food before going upstairs.
The wind picked up at night, blowing the trees in the yard rustling, making the yard more and more dark and gloomy.
The lights in the west hall were dark. After the accident, Rong Dingkun had no intention of going back there.
Feng Shizhen was also very embarrassed to put all the responsibility on Sun Shaoqing, who had gone far away. She only hoped that before Sun Shaoqing came back again, Rong Dingkun had been completely defeated and would not threaten her safety again.
The back door of the mansion opened, and a man in a white Chinese gown came out. When the two met, Feng Shizhen saw that the other party turned out to be Rong Jiashang, and his eyes widened unexpectedly. #####
Forty-four
Young people like Rong Jiashang have always liked Western styles and always only wear suits. This is the first time Feng Shizhen has seen him wearing a Chinese-style gown. Rong Jiashang has an excellent stature, broad shoulders, a straight back, and has a kind of noble elegance with a strong scholarly fragrance.
Rong Jia was also carrying a large bag in his hand. Feng Shizhen was stunned again when he saw the half-exposed red incense candle.
“It’s a coincidence.” Rong Jia smiled bitterly.
Feng Shizhen asked, “What day is today?”
“Come with me.” Rong Jia said, “You’ll know in a while.”
The two walked to the opposite side of the pool and found a shelter by the water. Rong Jia struck a match and lit the incense candle. Feng Shizhen helped him insert the incense candle into the soft soil.
Rong Jia lit incense, swayed towards the water, and whispered, “Brother Xin, eldest brother is here to see you.”
It turned out that today was the death day of the second young master of the Rong family who died.
“I was eleven years old and my second brother was eight years old. I was studying in a church primary school.” Rong Jia lit the paper money with an incense candle and said softly, “After school, my wife will always come to pick us up in person.
