Fingertip dandy, the Republic of China Jia women want to start a career

The more he stayed at home, the more upset he got, so he asked the driver to drive to Siniang's teahouse.
The servant girl led him to a familiar place with ease.
"Master Li, you are here." Si Niang's voice came, and today she delivered the tea herself again, "Hey, why didn't Madam come?"
"She's at home." Li Shaowen didn't want to answer, so he said lightly.
"You and Madam had a quarrel, didn't you?" Si Niang came over with a clear body, and she knew what happened by looking at her face, "Come, let's have a cup of tea. Although tea is not wine, it can relieve a thousand worries when drunk, but tea With the character of tea, the first drink is bitter and unbearable, but after swallowing, good tea will naturally return to sweetness."
There was something in Si Niang's words, Li Shaowen understood at once, and she tried different ways to comfort herself.
Li Shaowen took this ginseng oolong, a unique aroma overflowed, and he drank it like wine.
"Fortunately, my teacup here is small, otherwise I would really be drinking mules and horses." Siniang said with a smile, which made Li Shaowen smile lightly.
"I have a few new singing girls here. One of them has a good voice and is spiritual. Do you want to let her sing a song? It's just for fun and fun." Si Niang asked.
"You are really good at doing business. I know the reason why shopkeeper Ji's golden house hid your beauty back then. If I were shopkeeper Ji, with someone as exquisite as you, I would also be a golden house to hide you." Li Shaowen praised, "Go and call."
Not long after, a girl came holding a pipa.
When Li Shaowen saw it, the girl was pretty and shy, and her dress was simple and not fancy.For some reason, looking at her reminded me of the Zhou Zhilan I saw again in Liyuan Pavilion. At that time, Zhilan and Zhou Yuehua were arguing, joy and sorrow floated on her face, far more lively and lively than her after marriage. At that time He took a look at her who was different from others.
Li Shaowen was engrossed in his thoughts.
"Hmm." Si Niang gently cleared her throat beside her.Her voice brought back Li Shaowen's thoughts, "Master, do you still listen to the music?"
Li Shaowen smiled politely, and raised his hand slightly: "Girl, please sit down, and pick up any tune you are good at and sing."
"Yan Ying." Si Niang said, "Did you hear Young Master Li's orders?"
Yan Ying timidly sat on a stool in the corner, holding a pipa and sang "Flower Tune".Her singing voice is melodious and melodious, and her fingers are lightly pinched and slowly twirled and picked, like big pearls and small pearls falling on a jade plate.
At the end of the song, Li Shaowen was fascinated by it.
"Your name is Yanying? Good singing. Thank you!"
Li Shaowen came out of the tea room, feeling a little dizzy. The girl Yanying who was playing the pipa just now, her face was still swaying in front of Li Shaowen. After getting in the car, the driver turned around and asked him where he was going, then shook his head and let go of his wild thoughts.

He didn't want to go home at first, but when it got dark, he said, "Go back."

Along the way, guessing what would happen to Zhilan, he was a little afraid to face her.

The car drove to the gate of Li's Mansion, butler Fu came out to greet her, and said anxiously: "Master, you came back just in time, the young mistress didn't bring in any rice today, and even a bite of the food that was brought in, you should go and persuade her, it stands to reason I shouldn't talk too much, as the saying goes, if a couple quarrels at the head of the bed and quarrels at the end of the bed, it will be fine if you persuade them."

Li Shaowen hummed, and went into the room, and just knocked on the door, he heard Zhilan's voice: "I don't want to eat, take it away!"

He unscrewed the door and met Zhilan's eyes.

"Why are you here?" she said to him coldly.

"Have you had enough trouble? If you have an opinion on me, don't vent your anger on the servants." Li Shaowen sat on the couch.

"Why do you blame me?" Zhilan snorted coldly, "Why don't you reflect on what you have done."

"That's right, I sent your brother Zhou Muqing to the police station's prison. I admit it. I just have plans for Wan De. What do you think? Do you think you can stop it?" Li Shaowen heard Zhilan say this, Instead calm down.

"You! It's ridiculous that I plan to show you my paintings." Zhilan picked up the painting on the table without any hesitation, struck a match and lit it. Her resolute face was reflected in the light of the fire, and she was extremely cold "I'd rather burn it than share it with you. You don't deserve it, Li Shaowen, you don't deserve it at all."

Li Shaowen suddenly stretched out his hand to grab it anxiously.

It was too late, the painting had been burned into pieces, and she threw the pieces into the prepared brazier mercilessly.Looking at the tongue of flames happily licking the fragments, Li Shaowen was stunned for a moment.

"Get out!" Zhi Lan said, thinking that half of the relationship between husband and wife is over.In fact, her heart surged with sadness.At this moment she is envious of Jingru, at least she has a family, she has no family to rely on, the Zhou family is not her own, the Qi family has long since abandoned her, thinking about it, there is nowhere to go, since she chose Li Shaowen, she has no any way out.

"Okay, don't regret it." Li Shaowen said harshly, "You can burn the paintings, and you don't have to eat the rice. Let's see who suffers in the end?"

Since getting married, there has been no peace at home, and my mother is still lying in the room unable to get up.He is a man who is not good at handling housework, and the fire in the backyard annoys him a lot.

When he was told to "get out", he raised his foot and left the room without looking back.

"Prepare me a bed in the study." He gambled and said to Steward Fu, "In the future, don't care whether the young mistress eats or not. If she likes to eat or not, don't bother with her."

Steward Fu looked worried, but he couldn't say much.

"However, if she makes a fuss about going back to her mother's house, don't allow her to go back. Steward Fu, please explain to Shuanghua, and ask her to report to me anytime there is any new situation." Li Shaowen added after thinking.

Butler Fu agreed, and Li Shaowen felt relieved when he heard his answer.

Qi Mei slept in a daze until midnight, when she suddenly heard loud noises in the yard, she woke up with a start.

As soon as she left the room, Bichun hurriedly took her hand and said, "No! Something really happened, your second sister is missing.

While talking, several servants came to report that a woman's hair ornament was found at the foot of the south wall, and they took it to the third lady to identify it, and it really belonged to the second lady.Qi Mei remembered seeing Tang Minghai sneaking around at the base of the wall this afternoon, there must be something wrong there.She asked a few servants to lead the way, and within a few steps she arrived at the place where she found the hair ornament.

A wall that separates the inner and outer worlds.

She squatted down and pushed aside the long grass covering the base of the wall. It seemed that there was no flaw, it was just an ordinary wall, and there were traces of cracks on the wall after a long time. She pushed it casually, and heard "哗哗" With the sound of dust falling, several servants hurried forward to help push, and replaced Qi Mei.Where the loose bricks could withstand the force, a hole immediately collapsed leading directly to the road outside.

Qi Mei knew in her heart that it was impossible for Third Sister to do this kind of thing alone, so someone must help her.She thought of something, bent over and got out of the hole.

Bi Chun hastily ordered: "Go and follow Missy."

Before anyone could pass by, Qi Mei came back from the hole.

"Where is that over there?"

"On the street, it's exactly as I expected." Qi Mei understood, winked at Bichun, and whispered, "Mother, don't say anything about this matter, let's wait for Dad to come back and deal with it."

Bi Chun understood, and hurriedly said to the housekeeper and everyone: "It's nothing over there, it's all right, everyone should leave. Steward Qi, arrange for someone to repair the fence tomorrow."

"Mother, the second sister must have eloped with Tang Minghai." Qi Mei said firmly in the room.

"What? Elope? How do you know that? Don't talk nonsense."

"I just got out of that hole, and what I saw was the place where Tang Minghai was found in the afternoon. He must have planned it long ago. In the afternoon, Mu Qing exposed his identity. In order to avoid having a long night and dreaming, he took advantage of his father's absence tonight. , took the second sister away, if you don’t believe me, you can check, there must be someone around the second sister who can inform her.”

Qi Mei's analysis was so detailed that Bichun couldn't help but not believe it.If it was an elopement, the daughter's handling in this way was absolutely correct.

"Then I'll send someone to invite your father back." After a while, I heard the roar of a car outside, and the sound of the car engine humming was particularly ear-piercing in the quiet night.

Sure enough, he heard Master Qi's hurried footsteps.Hearing that someone came anxiously to report that Second Miss was missing, he woke up most of the wine in fright, left in a hurry, got in the car and drove home.

"what happened?"

"Father, I suspect that Second Sister and Tang Minghai eloped." Qi Mei calmly told Master Qi what happened before.Sometimes he frowned, sometimes thought, and finally heard her relay Mu Qing's words, and said angrily: "Tang Minghai is a bastard and a liar. I have hunted geese for many years, but I never thought that this time I was pecked by geese."

"Father, the second sister is missing, should we report it to the police?" Qi Mei asked.

"No! This is our family matter after all. Your grandma doesn't know yet. Once the policemen come and make the city stormy, where do you want your father to put his face?" Master Qi firmly objected.

"But master, what if Tang Minghai takes her to another place by train?" Bichun said worriedly.

"It's up to you, Meimei." Master Qi thought for a while.

"I?"

"That's right, go and ask Zhou Muqing to help out. Based on his relationship with Chief Zhang, as long as he talks to Chief Zhang in private, Tang Minghai's whereabouts can be found under the martial law at the city gate."

As expected of Mr. Qi, everyone who has dealt with him said that he was very smart, Qi Mei didn't believe it at first, but she couldn't help but believe it when she heard his words.

"Father, as the saying goes, people should not be taken lightly. Besides, I haven't married Mu Qing yet. It's not good to let him run around for our family's affairs at this time." Qi Mei said worriedly.

"What are you afraid of? It's when he is courting you. For example, your father and I are like this..." Master Qi realized that he was talking too much, so he hurriedly stopped the topic.

"How about...it's important to find someone, try it." Bichun said, Qi Mei had to agree.

"Father, don't forget to check the people around Second Sister."

"You told me, I know it."

She immediately went to Zhou's house to find Mu Qing and told the whole story.

"I didn't expect Tang Rong to resort to such a dirty trick. I'll take care of this matter." Qi Ying reminded him of Zhilan, and he was afraid for a while. If he hadn't intervened back then, maybe Lan'er would have acted the same stupid way. thing.

"Muqing..." Qi Mei looked at him a little touched, couldn't help hugging him and kissed him, Zhou Muqing was taken aback again.

Master Qi specially went to Cailing Courtyard to comfort Yaochun, seeing Yaochun's red and swollen eyes from crying, and his weak body, how could he still have the same charm as before, he hurriedly asked the housekeeper to invite a doctor to treat her illness.
