City of Streamer - Chapter 31
He laughed twice, put the photo down, and said, “This photo is really not for Jia Shang to see. Thank you Miss Hashimoto for being careful and considerate.”
Shiori Hashimoto smiled and said, “Uncle Rong is too outlandish. The relationship between our two families is extraordinary, and this trivial matter is nothing to worry about. It’s just that Miss Du’s friend, if it is an irrelevant man, that’s all. People, we are still a little familiar. This is a little embarrassing.”
Rong Dingkun paused as he sipped the tea, slowly put down the teacup, and said, “This is a domestic scandal, and the film is not easy to be left out. I don’t know if it is convenient for Brother Ling to transfer the film to me, but I will definitely reward him well. “
When Hashimoto Shiori saw Rong Dingkun’s move, he breathed a sigh of relief. The embarrassment on her face wasn’t all pretence. After all, she was just a young girl with little experience, no matter how smart she was, she still couldn’t hold the old fox Rong Dingkun. I’m not afraid that Rong Dingkun will not recognize him, but I’m afraid that he doesn’t care.
Now it seems that the outside world’s evaluation of Rong Dingkun is still somewhat true. This person wants face and is extremely suspicious. It’s okay for a prospective daughter-in-law to steal an unrelated person, but if she steals an acquaintance around her, it would be a big taboo for him.
Shiori Hashimoto clenched his handbag and said, “It’s really unfortunate. A while ago, our wife said that the second brother always lived in an apartment outside, and forced him to move home. The move was a mess, and the film didn’t know where to put it. Where is it, only this photo was given to me long ago. I think it must be in a certain cage, wait for me to go back and let the second brother find it. “
Rong Dingkun was no longer familiar with this trick, he immediately raised his feet with a smile, lit a cigarette, and said, “Jia Shang only said that the two of you are friends, but he didn’t say that Miss Shiori is so smart and alert, which is impressive. I Seeing that your fellow brother is also dignified and has a very respectable demeanor. I heard that your wife intends to give her niece to your second brother as his wife. The other party has a noble status and rich makeup.
Hashimoto Shiori’s pretty face sank slightly. The mother’s thoughts couldn’t be more obvious. If the eldest son is ill and cannot live long and cannot give birth, then the concubine will be firmly grasped in the palm of the hand through marriage. Not only does she want to control the marriage of her second son, she also plans to marry Shiori Hashimoto to her cousin’s son.
The young master of the Anbu family was born like a wild boar and became a man. He heard from a close friend of the Japanese Overseas Chinese School that this man was very lecherous and had countless concubines and mistresses. His original partner died of dystocia. Other families were reluctant to marry their daughters, but Mrs. Tanaka felt that she could just use a prostitute for a kiss.
“My cousin and cousin are from an open-minded and generous family. My cousin is also half of Korean blood, so I don’t mind if you have Chinese blood. As long as you can give birth to a son, you will be the wife of the Anbe family in the future.” Mrs. Tanaka was at that time. If so.
Shiori Hashimoto recalled at this moment, and his blood was surging with anger. Her former lover was the handsome Rong Jiashang, and most of her suitors were young men with good looks and good appearance. How could she be willing to marry far away to Japan to fill a house with a fat pig and give birth to a child?
Young girls can’t hide their thoughts. Looking at Shiori Hashimoto’s face, Rong Dingkun knew that their brother and sister were dissatisfied with their marriage. He didn’t break it either, still smoking slowly.
Shiori Hashimoto, however, had gone through previous trials and knew that a person like Rong Dingkun would not have a lot of patience to go around in circles with his little girl. So, with sweat in her palm, she tried to open up and say, “To be honest, the second brother doesn’t like this marriage very much.”
“Oh?” Rong Dingkun said in surprise, “Then what is your opinion?”
Shiori Hashimoto took a deep breath and said with a firm expression, “Uncle Rong, I’ll open the skylight and speak eloquently. You must be clear about our family’s situation. My father listens to my wife’s decisions about everything within the family. The eldest brother’s health has improved slightly, and the wife has decided to choose a day for my father to propose to you to marry Fang Lin!”
Rong Dingkun frowned slightly and smiled coldly: “Fang Lin is still young, I plan to stay with her for a few more years. You have a good time, and you know that she still wants to study abroad in the future.”
Hashimoto Shiori sighed in relief. If Fanglin married Young Master Hashimoto, then Rong Dingkun would have to support the big room, and the second room would be completely hopeless.
There is nothing to be ashamed of for an unmarried girl to talk about this. Shiori Hashimoto’s attitude became more and more calm, with a kind of naive seriousness and persistence, and said to Rong Dingkun: “To tell the truth, my feelings for Jia Shang have never changed. Knowing that he is engaged, my heart is broken. Knowing that his fiancee is unfaithful, I am even more angry and painful for him. In my heart, Jia Shang is the most beautiful and outstanding man in the world. If I can be his wife, I will definitely be willing to dedicate my life to him and let him forever. Happy and happy. No, do I still have this blessing in my life…”
Saying that, he turned his face to the side, and showed Rong Dingkun his reddened corners of his eyes and wet eyelashes.
Rong Dingkun saw that she could sing and recite well, and it became more and more interesting, and his eyes were kind and said: “You are a good boy. I also hurt Jiashang. Then Miss Du looked upright and generous at the beginning, and she was in the right place, so regardless of Jiashang’s resistance, The marriage was forcibly finalized. Now it seems that this marriage is too hasty.”
Shiori Hashimoto lightly wiped the corners of his eyes and said, “Actually, what if you knew my identity back then? My wife is in charge of the house, she just wants to keep the Hashimoto family in the hands of the big house, how could she be happy to see me marry a high-ranking family member? What about the house? Uncle Rong, although our brothers and sisters are half Japanese, we were born and raised in China, and we still regard ourselves as Chinese in our hearts, and have never been willing to marry the Japanese side. Besides, we are in business. The Hashimoto family’s northern route actually only took one to share with you, Uncle Rong. My second brother and I felt that the cooperation between the two could actually be closer.”
Rong Dingkun smiled and put out the cigarette butt. “It is said that the Japanese are the most reserved in their words and actions. They say three points, and the rest is up to the other party to figure out and guess. Miss Hashimoto is half Japanese, and it is not easy for a girl to talk about it. But Isn’t this what your second brother should have said?”
Shiori Hashimoto gritted his teeth secretly, and said honestly and honestly, “My second brother is really stupid. I’m afraid that it won’t be enough to fill the gaps in your teeth for Uncle Rong.”
Rong Dingkun laughed.
Shiori Hashimoto’s face turned red, and he forced a smile: “Today, I also put my face away. He is just an ignorant junior, please let Uncle Rong be more full.”
Rong Dingkun got up and walked to the Duobao Pavilion, where he played with a small sapphire ornament in his palm, and said, “Miss Shiori must have never negotiated with anyone, so it’s not easy to do this. What benefits can you gain by helping you two brothers and sisters?”
Shiori Hashimoto stood up and said cautiously, “Marry any daughter to my second brother. In the future, the second brother will be in charge of the family, and you will be your husband-in-law. Or, Du Lanxin doesn’t follow the rules of women and takes evidence to break off the marriage, and I will marry a golden unicorn. Enter Rong Jia.”
Rong Dingkun paused, turning his head to look at Shiori Hashimoto. The girl was a little uneasy under his gaze, but she tried her best to restrain her, maintaining a decent smile on her face.
“Are you so confident that your second brother can replace your eldest brother?” Rong Dingkun said, “I heard that your eldest brother is improving.”
“It’s all about returning to the light,” Shiori Hashimoto said. “That’s why my wife was in a hurry to send my second brother into a family and drive me to Japan. She also took the elder brother very seriously, and she brought the meals in person. If not The last time you visited, the eldest brother came out, and we all suspected that the eldest brother was already dead!”######

“It’s so serious?” Rong Dingkun said: “Then you can wait patiently for your elder brother to die, and the family business will naturally be inherited by your second brother.”
“We can’t wait!” Shiori Hashimoto gritted his teeth, “Let Uncle Rong laugh, if we hadn’t been pushed to the limit, we brothers and sisters really wouldn’t have to ask you. I know you want a golden unicorn, and you want to get one too. Very urgent. This is something that only my father rare. If I can reconnect with Jia Shang, I will definitely hand this golden unicorn into your hands.”
Rong Dingkun pondered and continued to play with the jade.
“Please believe me!” Shiori Hashimoto’s eyes lit up, “Only me can make the Rong family and the Hashimoto family merge into one. My second brother’s ideal in life is to eat, drink and have fun. He inherits the Hashimoto family, and I will have to come at that time. Management. I entered the Rong family, I managed it, and the Rong family management, what is the difference? “
Rong Dingkun stared at Shiori Hashimoto. The girl’s face was full of ambition, and she was no longer naive and shy. However, Rong Dingkun could smell the breath of similar people.
Rong Dingkun asked in a deep voice, “Are you willing to let the Rong family annex the Hashimoto family?”
Hashimoto Shiori smiled sweetly: “If I marry Jiashang, I will naturally belong to the Rong family. Whether the Rong family or the Hashimoto family will belong to my children in the future? I am not such a short-sighted and selfish person. You can only see one-third of an acre in front of you.”
Rong Dingkun looked at Shiori Hashimoto gloomily, but when she was apprehensive, he let out a loud laugh.
“Okay! You gave me a surprise. I didn’t expect Jia Shang to know a woman like you!”
Shi Hashimoto broke out in a cold sweat and sneered: “Kashang is upright and honest, in fact, he is really a very good man.”
The creatures in the dark are especially sunny, and they like the kind of pure and bright people. Therefore, Rong Dingkun loves pure female students the most, and Shiori Hashimoto is infatuated with Rong Jiashang.
“Then,” said Rong Dingkun, “that friend of Du Lanxin…”
Hashimoto Shiori rolled his eyes and said with a smile, “That’s just a trivial matter. But what does Uncle Rong think about our eldest brother?”
Rong Dingkun disapproved and said: “Since you are a seriously ill person, you should go out less, exercise less, and be less stimulated. Otherwise, if you are a little careless, you will get sick outside and it will be difficult to rescue it.”
Hashimoto Shiori looked thoughtful.
Rong Dingkun asked, “Is it true that you said Lingtang was interested in Fanglin?”
“It’s absolutely true!” Hashimoto Shiori said, “My wife wanted to try it, but my father felt hopeless, so the two had a fight in the study! My wife was so excited by this that she was in a hurry to get rid of our brothers and sisters. “
“I see.” Rong Dingkun thoughtfully, glanced at the wall clock, “It’s getting late, I’ll ask the driver to take you home.”
“Call a taxi for me.” Although Hashimoto Shiori wanted to ask more clearly, he restrained himself, “Then the junior will leave first, and go home to wait for the good news from uncle.”
Rong Dingkun nodded. Hashimoto Shiori bowed gracefully.
After walking out of the Rong family business, when the cold wind blew, Hashimoto Shiori realized that his back was soaked with cold sweat. She breathed a long sigh of relief, rubbed her stiff face, and got into the taxi.
As soon as the car started, Shiori Hashimoto saw Rong Jiashang get out of a car that had just stopped.
“Wait!” Hashimoto Shiori hurriedly patted the back of the driver’s seat.
Rong Jia had his coat open, and the gray scarf fluttered in the cold wind. The whole person was thin and straight, like a straight pine tree, or an unsheathed knife, with a sharp edge. He threw the car keys to the footman, and strode into the door of the chamber of commerce with a dashing posture, like an eagle homing home.
Shiori Hashimoto’s heart was beating like a drum, and her eyes were full of warm love.
She will get him!
This goshawk would be fastened by her with a gold chain and could only rest on her arm.
When Rong Jiashang walked into the office, Rong Dingkun was looking at a pile of invitations. When Rong Jia was reporting, Rong Dingkun was also absent-minded. When Rong Jiashang finished speaking, he only asked, “Where’s the Feng family?”
Rong Jia expected his father to ask such a question, and replied calmly, “I also signed the contract and left with two gold bars.”
“Feng Shi didn’t make trouble?” Rong Dingkun was a little surprised.
Rong Jiashang said truthfully: “She is very unhappy, but there is nothing she can do. I will think of another way to coax her.”
Rong Dingkun saw that his son could handle it clearly, so he stopped talking.
“This,” Rong Dingkun suddenly picked out one from a pile of invitations, “On the evening of December 22, it is very interesting to hold a charity auction for antiques in central China, which is held every five years in the big world. of.”
“Dad want to go?” Rong Jia asked.
“All of our family will go and bring Du Lanxin with you.” Rong Dingkun said, “The Hashimoto family will come too. I heard that their eldest son is getting better. You can take a closer look at that time.”
“Understood.” Rong Jia said nothing.
Rong Dingkun suddenly raised his head and stared at his son.
“What’s wrong?” Rong Jia was confused.
Rong Dingkun smiled meaningfully, and said proudly, “My son is really handsome and extraordinary!”
Rong Jia was inexplicable, and the corners of his mouth twitched stiffly, “Dad, what happened to me today?”
Rong Dingkun sat in the chair, threw the secretly photographed photo to Rong Jia, and said, “Just now Shiori Hashimoto came to visit and brought this photo. She said a lot of things, but just one meaning: we The family and the Du family break off the engagement and marry her. She is confident to marry the Hashimoto family property and that golden unicorn.”
Rong Jia opened and closed his upper lip several times, digested the meaning of his father’s words, and laughed loudly: “Where does her confidence come from? If she has this ability, who would she marry? Is she really so infatuated with me? ?”
Rong Dingkun said: “She needs our help to get rid of her eldest brother.”
Rong Jia’s face turned cold, “That’s Hashimoto Saburo’s eldest son, father. It’s not a cat or a dog. If this lawsuit is provoked, it will be a scandal for the entire family, and it will offend the entire Hashimoto family and faction!”
“I only promised to provide convenience, but I didn’t say that I would get my hands dirty.” Rong Dingkun got up and patted his son’s shoulder heavily, “With the Hashimoto family, the Du family will be insignificant. It just so happened that Du Lanxin made it herself. The scandal, we can justly break off the marriage. But don’t worry, Shiori Hashimoto, this woman, I will not let her be the mother of my grandson. The concubine of a humble Japanese origin, she is very scheming at a young age. Seeking power and profit is not hesitating to murder blood relatives. Such people can cooperate with each other and use each other, but it is not good to be a family member.”
“Yeah.” Rong Jia sneered, “You can kill blood relatives, and others are nothing but ants to you.”
Although Rong Jia only agreed casually, Rong Dingkun felt guilty. Hearing this, it was as if he had been stabbed by an ice knife, his whole body froze and his face changed drastically.
Rong Jia glanced at his father, frowned and said, “Dad is planning to cross the river and demolish the bridge with Hashimoto Shiwe?”
Rong Dingkun slowed down, coughed awkwardly, and said, “Naturally, we still want to marry her, and we’ll talk about getting the golden unicorn.”
The corners of Rong Jia’s upper lips twitched, revealing a sarcastic smile, “Father, it is said that a strong woman does not serve two husbands. Although I am a man, I can’t stand changing my fiancee twice or three times.”
“I’m not doing this for your own good!” Rong Dingkun said angrily, “What’s wrong with marrying you the best wife?”
Rong Dingkun said indifferently, “Only I know who is the best wife for me.”
Rong Dingkun and his son didn’t talk much, and they didn’t bother to talk nonsense. They waved their son away, and then called Hashimoto Saburo.
In the evening, Saburo Hashimoto returned home and said to his wife Tanaka: “Boss Rong said that there will be a charity auction in the local antiques industry on the 22nd. He went with his family and invited us to go, and he also specially greeted Taichi’s body. Listening to what he meant, it seems that his wife has taken a fancy to Taiyi and wants to take a few more glances, and also wants the two children to get along more.”
Mrs. Tanaka’s eyes lit up immediately, “Taiichi has used a new medicine, as long as you are careful, you can still go out! It’s good that the Rong family has this intention. It’s better if it’s his first daughter, or the second daughter will do. We must negotiate a deal!”
Hashimoto still gave no hope for this matter, but he couldn’t bear to spoil his wife’s interest. Mrs. Tanaka was elated, and she was very pleased with the sight of several concubines, and generously took the girls out to make new dance dresses.
Hashimoto Shiori didn’t expect Rong Dingkun to act so quickly, but he took action in half a day. As long as Mr. Hashimoto can go out, it is not anyone’s responsibility if any accident happens. Thinking of this, she and her second brother exchanged a knowing sly smile.
The father is busy calculating other people’s fortunes, while the son is still worrying about how to restore his sweetheart’s goodwill to him.
Rong Jiashang doesn’t ask Feng Shizhen to love him now, just ask her not to despise him anymore. However, how to pursue a girl who has a feud with you is not taught in this military academy, nor is it taught in Xiaokai’s poker game, Rong Jia can only rely on his own exploration.
In any case, there’s nothing wrong with sticking around in a deadly manner. So Rong Jia kept an eye on Feng Shizhen’s every move. #####
ninety three
The Feng family got the gold bars, which were exchanged for money on the same day and deposited in the bank. When Feng Shizhen returned home, he would not go out. Mrs. Feng went out to buy food all by herself.
“Doctor Feng said that he wants to accompany his sister back to the countryside to visit the grave.”
It was Feng Shixun’s little secretary who helped Rong Jia to inquire about the news. This girl and Rong Jiashang were only one-sided, and she secretly promised, Rong Jiashang gave him a hint, and she responded internally for him, and inquired about all kinds of Feng family news through Feng Shixun.
The female secretary said, “Dr. Feng asked me to buy two train tickets for the day after tomorrow to visit a place called Bailiu next to Jiaxing to visit an elder’s grave.”
Rong Jia hung up the phone and pondered for a moment, then called a vice president of the Red House Hospital.
The vice president is British, and Rong Dingkun is a card friend. The face of the eldest young master of the Rong family always has to be sold for a few points.
Rong Jiashang said politely: “There is a resident doctor in your hospital named Feng Shixun, who is my good friend. He has helped me a lot recently. I would like to thank him and give him a surprise with my friends. Could you please give it to him? Adjust the shift date?”
The foreign dean thought it was a young man who wanted to make a joke, smiled and assured that there was absolutely no problem, and then greeted Rong Dingkun, and then hung up the phone.
So on the third day, Feng Shixun finished the night shift and was about to take a shower. When he went to the train station to meet Feng Shizhen, he was informed that there was a major operation in the hospital and he needed to be his deputy.
Not to mention that it is not easy to disobey the orders of the hospital leaders, this major operation is very crucial, and it is still performed by a medical master himself. A group of young doctors in the hospital were eager to move, but only Feng Shixun was selected as his deputy. Feng Shixun was really reluctant to give up such a good opportunity, scratched his head for a while, and finally chose surgery instead of his sister.
Feng Shixun wrote a note before entering the operating room, explaining the situation to Feng Shizhen and asking his secretary to take him to the train station.
The little secretary left the hospital with a note and walked straight to a car on the side of the road.
Rong Jia smiled lightly, took the note, and handed the girl a box by the way.
“Perfume!” The girl exclaimed with ecstasy on her face, “Young Master Rong, you are so kind to me!”
“As long as you like it.” Rong Jiashang smiled slightly, and the car window rose, covering his handsome face.
Feng Shizhen carried a small suitcase and waited in front of the platform for a long time, but Feng Shixun did not wait. The car whistled to urge her, so she had to get in the car first.
The small box is a four-seater, with a young couple sitting opposite. The man was short in stature, with a head that looked like a potato just pulled from the ground. His wife was quite handsome, with heavy makeup and only half the age of a man.
The couple are both wearing new and modern suits, and they can see that they are financially well off. The young woman’s eyes swirled a few times on Feng Shizhen’s delicate face and simple clothes, and she smiled smugly. When Feng Shizhen put the suitcase down and sat down, she warmly greeted her.
“It turns out that the eldest sister is also our hometown in Jiaxing. No wonder the accent is familiar. If the eldest sister goes out alone, the family can rest assured?”
Feng Shizhen smiled politely: “My eldest brother will come over in a while.”
“Oh, you still have to be careful.” The young woman said, “My uncle’s house is in Bailiu. Even now, there are always people kidnapping people around. Not to mention when the world was chaotic in the early years. There’s more to do.”
Feng Shizhen’s biological mother was killed by gangsters on the way. Feng Shi was really uncomfortable, and looked out of the window, wondering why his brother hadn’t come yet.
The train whistle sounded twice, and it was about to drive. Feng Shizhen was a little restless, considering whether to get out of the car and go to the hospital to find Feng Shixun first.
“Big sister,” the young woman gave a narrow smile, “I think you’re a ‘brother’, I’m afraid that you won’t come. Oh, men are like this. When they promise you, they talk like crazy, and they turn their heads and throw you out of the sky. It’s cold. The ground is frozen, it’s better to go home…”
Is this a misunderstanding that he is dating his lover to elope?
Feng Shizhen laughed and laughed, “No…”
“Sorry for being late!”
The door of the carriage opened in an uproar, and a tall figure walked in with the chill outside the car. The man took off his hat, revealing a fair and handsome face.
Feng Shizhen’s unspoken words got stuck in his throat. The young woman widened her eyes in surprise.
“Fortunately, I caught up.” Rong Jia smiled gently at Feng Shizhen, sat down next to her, and handed the note to her, “Dr. Feng asked me to pass it over to you.”
Feng Shizhen gave him a fierce look and took the note.
Rong Jiashang calmly took off the sheepskin gloves and scarf, and moved gracefully. The young woman looked at her fascinatedly, as if her eyes were about to fall on Rong Jia. The man sat next to her and rolled her eyes desperately, and she thought she couldn’t see it.
The whistle sounded, the car shook, and finally started.
Feng Shizhen folded the note expressionlessly, Rong Jia said with a different word, and turned his head to look at the scenery outside the window. The atmosphere in the car dropped to the lowest point for a while, and it smeared everyone’s face like noodles with too much water.
When the young woman saw it, she had already imagined seven or eight wonderful plays in her mind. She is not someone who can look at her face, and she immediately broke the deadlock with a chatter.
“Big sister, it’s fine if that person doesn’t come. You are so young and beautiful, how can you worry that you don’t have a good man to appreciate? I think this gentleman is very good. Ouch, I have never seen anyone born as beautiful as you. Yes. I saw that movie star Li Mingming at the dance a while ago. He is not as good as you! Master, look at his style and the workmanship of his clothes… Oh, this watch is so beautiful! It’s a diamond, isn’t it? Then it’s worth thousands of dollars! Where are you, sir? Oh, look at me, you must be a young master. I don’t know if the mansion is…”
Rong Jia glanced coldly at the young woman, took out a ten-dollar bill from his wallet, and handed it to the man between his fingers.
“I saw that there are still empty boxes on the other side. The gentleman can take his wife to have a quiet time.”
The man couldn’t get used to the way his wife was scratching her head around other men, and immediately grabbed the money, carrying her luggage in one hand, and her wife in the other, and hurried away. The young woman’s complaint went all the way away, until Rong Jiashang closed the box door again, blocking out the noise outside.
There were only two people left in the carriage, and there was an awkward silence.
Feng Shizhen got up, moved to the opposite side, sat by the window, tilted his head and looked at the regressing scenery outside.
The sky was fine, and the thin winter sun shone through the car window on her pale and delicate face, making her eyes as clear and silent as the lake in autumn.
“You’ve lost weight.” Rong Jiashang suddenly said, “Have you not rested for a while now?”
Feng Shizhen did not speak. Her determined profile and tightly pursed lips conveyed to the other person her determination to refuse to talk.
Rong Jia stared at her and said, “I have no other intentions, I just want to spend more time with you. If you don’t want to see me, then I will come to see you.”
Feng Shizhen’s slender eyelashes trembled, as if someone had tapped her on the chest.
“Just let me accompany you like a friend. There is no one else around you right now.” Rong Jiashang begged softly, a helpless man, begging a cruel woman.
“I try to like you less every day, and maybe I won’t bother you like this after a while. Just show the patience that you used to tame me and tolerate me for a while. I will abide by the etiquette and don’t let you Dislikes.”
Feng Shizhen’s clear eyes flashed with a thin water light, and he finally turned his eyes to the man opposite.
Rong Jia smiled at her with a clear and calm smile, “Let’s create some last and beautiful memories. I just hope that when you think of me in the future, it’s not all hatred.”
Feng Shizhen moved his lips and said, “I don’t hate you, Jia Shang.”
“That’s better.” Rong Jia put her hands together and kissed her cold fingertips passionately, “Let’s all lock that matter in the box for the time being. You want me to be a student or a friend. Well, even if I do errands for you, I’m willing. Shizhen, I just ask you for a few days. You have pity on me, okay?”
The face is a locked door, which firmly seals the emotions and desires, but there are always traces of emotions, lingeringly drilled out, like flowers blooming from the cracks in the rock, giving the gloomy and cold silence Adds a precious touch of color.
Feng Shizhen didn’t say anything, she acquiesced to Rong Jiashang’s request.
The train whistled and carried them through the deserted countryside in the middle of the winter, all the way into the distance.
Rong Jia said that he would follow the rules, so he really showed a gentleman’s demeanor, and treated Feng Shizhen politely and affectionately.
Although Rong Jiashang was a senior in the army and had not received much of a gentleman’s education in a Shanghai mission school, as long as he wanted to flatter someone, he was able to do everything in every possible way. He asked the person in charge of the car for a teacup, scalded it with boiling water, and some of his men came out of nowhere, and brought a pot of freshly brewed coffee, as well as a large plate of assorted pastries.
“The new Brazilian coffee from the import and export company, Shizhen, do you want to try it?”
Feng Shizhen got up early to catch the train, but he didn’t use much of the time. He was just hungry. She didn’t take Joe either, and ate and drank liberally.
“What are you going to use that money for?” Rong Jia asked.
Feng Shizhen said: “Buy a house first, set up my parents, and use the rest as a betrothal gift, and find a daughter-in-law for my eldest brother. The rest is my dowry.”
“That’s all?” Rong Jia was a little disappointed.
Feng Shizhen said with a smile: “Ordinary people live their lives, but they only need food, clothing, housing and transportation, weddings and funerals, and what else can be new.”
“For example, you can study abroad.” Rong Jiashang said.
Feng Shizhen was stunned for a moment and smiled: “The boss is not too young, and he has long since dreamed of studying abroad. If you want to learn knowledge, where can you learn it?”
“You shouldn’t be buried.” Rong Jiashang said seriously, “You are far more than just an ordinary teacher.”
“Who said I can only be an ordinary teacher?” Feng Shizhen glared at him, “Listen, eldest young master, it’s fine for you, I’m unlucky. I’ll teach the most amazing and brilliant students, just watch that is.”
Rong Jiashang couldn’t help laughing and raised his coffee cup, “Then I wish Mr. Feng all his wishes, and the world will be filled with peaches and plums.”
The two of them chatted all day and finished breakfast. After his subordinates removed the dinner plate, Rong Jia took out a deck of playing cards and put it on the table.
Feng Shizhen couldn’t help but raised his eyebrows and smiled, showing constriction.
Rong Jiashang said: “You have taught me so much knowledge. In fact, you have not taught me what I want to learn most. I specifically asked about it. You are really the pillar of the bridge club of Jinling Women’s University. Your glorious deeds of killing the Quartet are circulating. If you are interested in asking for advice, please also ask Mr. Feng to enlighten me!”
Rong Jiashang clasped his fists and bowed with a smile on his face, with a flattering smile on his face.
Feng Shizhen snorted softly, “This is a master’s skill. You, a half-way monk, are not qualified to learn this kung fu.”
“You’re young, but you have enough brains.” Rong Jia said cheekily, “They all say that there is no distinction, and they say that they teach according to their aptitude. When you meet a genius like me, shouldn’t you teach me with all your money?”
Feng Shizhen rolled his eyes, took out the cards, shuffled the cards twice with slender fingers, and threw them on the table.
“Come on. I’ll only teach you this time! You are not allowed to declare my name when you go out in the future!”
When the train arrived at Bailiu Town, there was another drizzle in the air. The sky is gray and eggshell blue, the rain is like a feather, and the cold is pressing.
Feng Shizhen stepped onto the platform from the warm carriage, cold air poured into his lungs, and he couldn’t help sneezing.
A large umbrella opened overhead, blocking the drizzle and also blocking a piece of skylight. Rong Jiashang held an umbrella gracefully and turned his arms towards Feng Shizhen.
“Where did you get the umbrella from?” Feng Shizhen was puzzled and took his hand habitually. Obviously watching him get out of the car empty-handed.
“I can do magic.” Rong Jiashang smiled.
Although Bailiu Town is small and dilapidated, there are always three or two rickshaw drivers outside the station to solicit business. Rong Jiashang ignored them and took Feng Shizhen to the intersection. A beautiful little car, rarely seen in such a small place, drove up. The driver of the car was Rong Jia’s most commonly used bodyguard, and another bodyguard was sitting on the co-pilot.
“White dragon fish suit, Qianlong went to the south of the Yangtze River.” Feng Shizhen sighed.
“Come in, it’s warmer inside.” Rong Jiashang put Feng Shizhen in the back seat of the car and sat next to her.
“Master, where are you going next?” the driver asked.
Rong Jia went to see Feng Shizhen.
Feng Shizhen said: “There is a Dongfenglai Inn at Qiaotou, and I rest there every time.”
“Then go to Dongfeng.” Rong Jiashang ordered.
Dongfenglai Inn is a three-storey house, which is already quite a grand building in this small place in Bailiu Town. The house is a few years old, and it is a wooden building. When people walk in it, the floor creaks and you can hear the slightest movement of the grass.
Of course, Rong Jia asked for the two best rooms. Said to be the best, in fact, it is not close to the river, the view is wider, and there is a narrow bathroom in the room. Sitting on the bed bored, he heard the soft thud of the leather shoes on the floor when Feng Shizhen walked back and forth, and the sound of water rushing in the bathroom. His heart was itching, just like when he was still in the military academy in Chongqing, he was lying on the fence with his classmates and watched the female middle school students pass by the small road across the river. #####
Ninety four
The guy went upstairs to deliver the stove, and Feng Shizhen and the other party whispered a few words. Rong Jia stuck to the door like a thief, trying to hear what she was saying. There was a sudden knock on the door, which startled Rong Jiashang. His feet touched the stool, making a loud noise.
“Jia Shang?” Feng Shizhen asked outside.
“It’s okay.” Rong Jia gritted his teeth, adjusted his expression, and opened the door with a smile.
Feng Shizhen asked, “Are you hungry? What do you want for dinner?”
Rong Jia hurriedly said: “How can you ask the lady to come to dinner when you are away from home? I invite you to go out to the restaurant.”
If you are in Shanghai and want to eat out, there are restaurants all over the street waiting for you to choose. But in a small place like Bailiu Town, there is only one street in total. When it gets dark, the shops are closed, so deserted that not even a dog can see. The only restaurant that was still open was an old bacon with flies hanging on the door. A dim kerosene lamp was lit in the store. The three diners sat silently, ghostly. Not to mention Rong Jia, even his two subordinates were a little uncomfortable.
“Do you really want to eat here?” Feng Shizhen sneered.
“I have to eat something, right?” Rong Jia was helpless.
Feng Shizhen waved his hand to the boss who came out, and smiled at Rong Jiashang: “So, I still have to do it. Come with me.”
Feng Shizhen took Rong Jia up the alley and turned several corners with ease. At the intersection, he saw a shop with lights on and a banner with “Zhang Ersao Beef Noodles” hanging. There is a stove in front of the store, a large pot is burning, and a woman is kneading dough.
“Madam, there are four servings of beef noodles, three large and one small, and small servings with more chili.” Feng Shizhen said.
The proprietress responded loudly, grabbed a large handful of freshly cut noodles, and threw them into the pot.
Although the shop was small enough to fit only three tables, it was very clean and tidy, and it was full of people. Rong Jiashang personally went to the corner with his subordinates to bring spare tables and stools and set them up, and sat face to face with Feng Shizhen. The warm yellow kerosene lamp illuminated the two faces looking particularly handsome, time seemed to slow down, and the cold wind of the winter night stopped.
“You used to come here often?” Rong Jia asked.
“I don’t come often.” Feng Shizhen said, “I only come once a year on the anniversary of my death. Bailiu Town is small and broken. I’m really afraid that you won’t be used to it.”
“I’m not that squeamish.” Rong Jiashang said, “When I was in the military academy, we went to the field to train for half a month every semester. At that time, we were all sleeping in the open air, and we had to make our own fire.”
“Can you cook?”
Rong Jia sneered: “Of course. I ate raw rice twice, and after the third time I learned it naturally. After the dry food we brought, we will go hunting in the wild, catching rabbits, pheasants and fish. We will also dig out honeycombs. , pick mushrooms. I especially know how to make barbecue. The wild rabbit takes out its stomach, smears it with salt, and bakes it half-rarely, then brushes it with honey and turns it on the fire. When it is cooked, the honey is also delicious, take a bite, That sweet…”
Rong Jia was very excited about what he said, and the boy at the table next to him who followed the adults to eat noodles was drooling.
Feng Shizhen said with a smile: “Then you go back to Shanghai, these skills are useless.”
Rong Jiashang said: “When spring starts, we can go hunting in Caohebang. There are a lot of wild ducks there, fat and stupid. Even a young lady like you who has never used a gun can always catch one or two. “
never used a gun…
Feng Shizhen subconsciously touched his index finger, which had been specially worn away.
The proprietress brought up her steaming face, which was fragrant. Both of them were starving, burying their heads in the noodles, not talking.
When I came out of the noodle shop, it was already dark outside. There was no light in the night sky, and there was still some cold rain in the wind. Deep in the alley, the sound of a gramophone and the barking of dogs could be heard occasionally.
After staying in a bustling and lively city like Shanghai for a long time, I didn’t know there are such dark and quiet nights in the world.
Rong Jiashang suddenly got closer and took Feng Shizhen’s hand.
Feng Shizhen was stunned for a moment. Rong Jia didn’t look at her, and dragged her forward. Feng Shizhen was like a marionette, being held by those warm palms and walking.
The subordinates kept a close distance and followed behind. Rong Jiashang and Feng Shizhen held hands and walked in the silent night, as if they were isolated from the world.
“Shizhen…” Rong Jia pondered and whispered, “Can you tell me something from your heart?”
Feng Shizhen was silent for a while and asked, “Which sentence do you want to hear?”
Rong Jiashang squeezed her hand tightly and said, “Tell me, do you like me?”
Feng Shizhen felt that his soft heart was inadvertently poked by the awl again, and blood beads came out in a string. Her nose was sore, and her throat almost choked. Fortunately, she has strong restraint. Fortunately, it is so dark here that no one can see who’s face.
“Shizhen?” Rong Jia looked at the woman’s blurred profile in the dark.
Feng Shizhen said in a calm voice, “What if you like it, and what if you don’t like it?”
“Please answer the question directly, Mr. Feng.” Rong Jiashang smiled lightly, “If you like it or not, it’s just a sentence. If you don’t say it, I will always be hung, and my heart will be empty. It’s very uncomfortable.”
“Oh.” Feng Shizhen said, “I don’t like it.”
Rong Jiashang laughed, “You lied.”
“how do you know?”
