Hometown beacon smoke old time shadow

When Zhaoshi was still bored, Zhenghai and Huanzhu had already checked into Liuguo Hotel in Beiping.Lianzhou rolled and lay on the big carved bed in the hotel: "Sister, open a room for me too, I won't leave at night, I want to live here!" Zheng Hai threw him a key, "I'll open it for you early Room! Go take a bath and change your clothes. Shopkeeper Li of the silk and satin village is celebrating his [-]th birthday today, and I will take you to a birthday party in the afternoon.” Lian Zhou was just about to object that he would not go to the birthday party, but when he heard about the party, he brought that No word swallowed.He stretched out his arms to look at his student attire and asked Zhenghai: "That's all, I don't have any clothes to change into."

Zhenghai turned to look at Huanzhu, Huanzhu smiled and took out a royal blue heavy satin gown and a dark ocher mandarin jacket from the box, both with the same pattern of eight-treasure group flowers, Zhenghai said: "Mother said, Shopkeeper Li is an old man, and since he is in Beiping, he must pay attention to old etiquette, so I specially made another one for you." Lian Zhou pouted and took the clothes and moved them in front of Huanzhu: "Sister, it's spring, no It's so cold, can I just wear a long shirt?" Huanzhu gave him a white look, and Zhenghai said, "No!" Lianzhou muttered, "If you come, just leave me alone." Before he could finish speaking, Huanzhu threw the towel On the body, I went to take a bath obediently.

After Lianzhou came out of the shower, Huanzhu also changed into a rose-purple brocade cheongsam and wanted to take Lianzhou to lunch.Zhenghai had disappeared at this time, Huanzhu gave him a wink to indicate that Zhenghai had gone out, so Lianzhou didn't ask any more questions.Until the afternoon, when two cars came to pick them up, Lianzhou murmured in his heart that one car would be enough for three people.Just as he was thinking about it, Zhenghai came out of the hotel with a gentleman in his fifties, and he didn't evade when he saw Lianzhou: "Mr. Hong, this is my brother-in-law. Lianzhou, this is Mr. Hong, this is Zhejiang Fellow countryman." Seeing that the man was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, Lian Zhou reached out and shook his hand: "Hi, Mr. Hong, I am Shen Lianzhou, please give me your advice." Enlighten me. Zhenghai, your children are indeed full of orchids and jade trees." Zhenghai and Lianzhou both bowed halfway: "Mr. Thank you." Zhenghai helped Mr. Hong open the car door and motioned for Lianzhou to sit with Huanzhu. The car behind followed, and the four of them went to Manager Li's house together.

Lianzhou was yelling hot in the car, and finally took off a piece of clothes, only wearing a long gown.Speaking of which, the three of them were considered to be the young masters of shopkeeper Li, and they had to be hospitable and treat them as honored guests, but Zhenghai tried his best to invite that Mr. Hong to sit at the head.Huanzhu also wanted to know about business matters, so he didn't go to the female relatives' place, but sat down at the bottom of Zhenghai.Lianzhou was bored listening to the business of all kinds of cloth and satin, and shopkeeper Li also noticed it, and called a young man to come over: "You accompany the young master to the garden, and when the play starts, we will take you to the play directly. Come here." Then he looked at Lianzhou with a smile: "Young master, our garden was bought from a down-and-out beige in Qing Dynasty. There are a few Taihu stones that can be rewarded, and there is a stage for a while. That beizi originally It’s also good to watch the theater, it’s said that I wished I could throw away my identity and go to sea, and the stage at home was built with great effort.” Lianzhou was in awe when he heard it, but he didn’t dare to be too presumptuous, and replied with a straight face: “Thank you for your love, my shopkeeper. Have a slow chat with your brothers and sisters, I'll take a short walk and come back to accompany you." Zhenghai couldn't help telling: "Be careful in the garden and don't cause trouble." Lianzhou resisted her temper and answered "Yes", saluted to her brothers, sisters and shopkeeper, and turned around Then he left in a hurry.

As soon as he went out, he took out a silver dollar from his pocket and threw it to the young man: "Hey, what team did you hire today?" The well-known spring class in the capital was invited, and the leading actor was Boss Xiao Luanqiu, who embraced swords and horses in Tsing Yi. Today, she will play the whole version of "Red Horse". "Empty Mountain". Lianzhou squinted his eyes, looked at the young man and asked, "Where is the stage? Let's go to the backstage and have a look." The man was a little embarrassed: "Boss Xiao's play is very good, but he has a bit of a temper. It’s because I don’t see customers when I’m acting. After the show, I seldom have supper with me. I usually leave after drinking a glass of wine.” Lianzhou became curious: “I’ve seen Boss Mei before, and I’ve never seen such a big temper. What kind of god is this person?" As he spoke, he dragged the guy into the yard, and the guy said mysteriously as he walked, "It's hard to say, because there are people above." Lianzhou curled her lips: "I I thought he was so lofty, but it turned out that he just climbed a high branch, come on! Young master, I can see and see today, and I will see if my branch is taller, or the one he climbed is higher."

Just as he was talking, a voice behind him said: "Comparing with others based on the wealth of the family, what is the ability!" Lianzhou turned his head and saw a man in his forties, tall and thin, with fair skin and fair skin. The cotton gown is very old, but it has been washed very clean.The cloth shoes on the feet are also very old, probably just came back from the outside, with a layer of dust on them.In his hand, he was holding a half-sized glass fruit plate filled with a plate of cut seasonal fruits.Lian Zhou was amused, this man looks like a teacher in his clothes, looks like a down-and-out nobleman, looks like a butler in a mansion gate by looking at the plate in his hand.Only the sound of opening his mouth just now, if he turned his head to look at it, he would think that the second uncle was standing behind to teach him a lesson. "

After all, Lian Zhou was a child who grew up beside Jingxian. Just now, he was bragging with the little guy, but now he would not dare to do anything when he met strangers.But the young man went up and said: "Brother Leng, don't talk nonsense, this is the young master of the Shen family, the young master of our shopkeeper." Then he turned to Lianzhou and said, "Young master, this is Boss Xiao. We all call him Big Brother Leng." Lian Zhou curled his lips: "When one person attains enlightenment, he doesn't pay attention to him anymore." Mr. Leng's face turns red and turns pale when he heard this, and he stomps his feet to leave.In the distance, Zhenghai, Mr. Hong, and shopkeeper Li also came over, and shopkeeper Li asked the guy, "I just saw that Mr. Leng looked unhappy, what's the matter?" talk.Zhenghai immediately asked: "What's the matter with you again?" Lian Zhou raised his head: "I didn't! It was he who didn't take people seriously." Shopkeeper Li hurried out to smooth things over: "Cough, cough, young master Don't be angry, Mr. Leng has a bit of a bad temper. The one who makes the bag is not all-round, but he has a cold face every day, and he is not easy to deal with people. No wonder, his little character has a different temperament from others. This is really like gathering things together and dividing people into groups." Hearing this, Zheng Hai let it go, and said to Lian Zhou: "Your sister has already had a banquet over there, hurry up and accompany her, otherwise she will feel uncomfortable. And She said, I still have something to do here, I'll go to her when I'm done." After the show, Zhenghai still wanted Lianzhou to accompany Huanzhu to go back first, and went to supper with Mr. Hong himself.Lianzhou turned around and saw that Xiao Luanqiu boarded the same car with them.He bumped Huanzhu with his elbow: "Hey, sister, brother Zhenghai went to supper with that little actor, you can't let him in! If you come back at night, you can't let him in if you don't have a clear trial." Huanzhu laughed, Lianzhou leaned her head on her shoulder: "Sister, I also want to get married. It's great to get married, and no one will care if I go back late." Huanzhu poked him on the forehead pretending to be angry.

Lian Zhou returned to the hotel and didn't fall asleep for a long time, Zheng Hai's behavior was too strange.Among the family members, Zheng Hai was not interested in things like listening to operas and watching movies. He actually let Huanzhu go home by himself, and he went to supper with an actor.And that Mr. Hong, who is he?If it's a person in the business field and a fellow from Zhejiang, why didn't I hear my mother mention it, and besides, on this occasion, Zhenghai is the owner, why did Mr. Hong take the seat?If this person is not a businessman, what is he doing?That big brother Leng is also very strange, there is no one who looks like Bao Bao, like a teacher in the school.

Just as he was thinking, he heard footsteps outside, probably Zheng Hai had returned.Lian Zhou raised his hand and looked at his watch, it was already two o'clock in the morning.He lifted the quilt, went to the door with his bare feet, and listened with his ears on the door. It was the footsteps of three people, Zhenghai entered the next room, and the other two walked towards the depths of the corridor, and he quietly opened the door. A gap is the back of Mr. Hong and Boss Xiao.Lianzhou still didn't give up, she put her ear against the wall and listened again, there was the sound of rushing water, it was Zhenghai taking a bath.He suddenly laughed - no matter how angry my sister is, she won't be able to quarrel with Brother Zhenghai.Of course, there is another possibility that my sister knows all of Brother Zhenghai's actions, so she is not angry at all.

After thinking about it, Lianzhou realized that there must be something wrong with Zhenghai Huanzhu. He wanted to solve this mystery, so he decided to go to Xiaozhen early the next morning.

When he passed Huanzhu's room in the morning, he tiptoedly stuffed a note, saying that he suddenly remembered that there was an important lecture at school in the morning, and he had to go back.After leaving the gate of the hotel, he hailed a foreign car and rushed to the printing factory where Xiaozhen worked.The entrance of the factory was a bit chaotic. The newspapers of the day had just been transported away, and the paper ropes used for binding were still left on the ground. The vehicles transported came and went, pressing out two ruts of ink.Xiaozhen hadn't gone to work yet, so Lianzhou had no choice but to buy a bowl of noodle tea and a pancake at a nearby breakfast stand. While eating, he missed Shanghai's small wontons.A few days ago, he invited Huiqiu to eat Shanghai cuisine, and served a sweet and sour short rib. Lian Zhou laughed and said, "You northerners don't understand that sweet and sour ribs are actually Suzhou's morning tea snacks." Huiqiu pursed her lips. Said: "I really admire you southerners. You get up early in the morning to eat such a plate of greasy pork ribs." Lianzhou retaliated: "You guys in Beiping still get up early in the morning to eat a bowl of thickened pig intestines." Huiqiu has no objection , the two fell down on the table and laughed.

The person sitting next to him ate his breakfast, wiped his mouth and got up and left. The newspaper he just bought was left on the stool.Just as Lian Zhou was about to take it back to him, a photo in the newspaper made him stop—isn’t that Mr. Hong?

The title of the photo surprised Lianzhou even more: "Hong Fei was appointed as the Chairman of the Beiping Affairs Committee of the Government Administration Council".He rolled up the newspaper and left. When he arrived at Xiaozhen's office, her colleague said that Xiaozhen had gone to Peking University to reconcile the accounts.Lianzhou hurried back to the school again, and there was a familiar figure at the school gate, standing there was not Xiaozhen but Huanzhu.
