Jinyu Dynasty 7 Quenching Mirror

The next day it was getting colder, Xuan Huaifeng was pulled out of the bed by Bai Xuelan, and he rubbed his eyes in a daze.

Sitting on the side of the bed for a while, seeing that the clothes for going out had been taken out and neatly placed at hand, Bai Xuelan brought over a pair of black leather shoes that the footman had already polished, and Xuan Huaifeng was embarrassed to say no more. I moved, so I had to get out of bed and wash up in the bathroom.

When going out, Bai Xuelan caught her unexpectedly, kissed her, and jokingly said, "The ugly daughter-in-law will finally see her husband, right?"

Xuan Huaifeng asked, "Am I an ugly wife?"

Bai Xuelan smiled and said, "You are very handsome. Who dares to say a word about you is not good, I tore him raw and dipped it in marinade to eat."

Xuan Huaifeng covered his face with his hand, "I'm sorry, but your integrity has been lost. Who said you can sleep after taking a shower last night? How come you are in the bathtub again in a blink of an eye..."

Before he finished speaking, he blushed first, took the clothes prepared on the bed, and slowly put them on one by one.

Bai Xuelan reneged on her promise and gained weight last night, probably a little guilty, she didn't make excuses, she smiled and helped pass the clothes and vests, and when Xuan Huaifeng put on the big wool coat, she brought a white scarf and wrapped it around her lover with her own hands.

The two had breakfast together, and when they went out to the gate, Song Ren had already been waiting beside the Lincoln car.

As soon as I saw them, I greeted them and said, "Finally here, if I don't see anyone in a little while, I will go in and invite them."

Bai Xuelan smiled and said, "There are still thousands of miles away from Shandong, and you are so anxious that the ants are on the hot pot? If you want to see your wife and children, you don't have to do this."

Song Ren smiled embarrassingly, "I'm afraid of missing the bus. Chief, please get on the bus."

Open the door.

After getting into the car, Xuan Huaifeng felt strange and asked Bai Xuelan, "Why didn't I see the luggage?"

Bai Xuelan said, "I asked Adjutant Sun to bring a few people to the train station long ago. Wait until this time?"

The railway station in the capital has never been idle. It is always crowded with people in the morning and evening. It seems that passengers from all over the world are always on their way in a hurry.Just looking at the gate from a distance, there are countless heads, young students with rattan boxes, fashionable couples in western suits, parents with children, all of which can be seen everywhere, passing by, no one has time to pay attention who.

For unknown reasons, some people who had nowhere to go spread out the old newspapers they picked up on the ground, piled their luggage on top of it, and people lay next to the luggage, sleeping like no one else was there. Sleep means.

There are also those coolies who are still wearing only a tattered vest jacket in the cold weather, carrying hemp rope and shoulder poles in their hands, looking for business at any time.As soon as the Lincoln sedan stopped in front of the train station, a large group rushed over, yelling, "Sir, sir, I will carry your luggage for you, and I will carry two large boxes for a dime! I will keep them and deliver them to the carriage door!"

The guards didn't allow them to get close to Xuanbai, they had already surrounded the car, and whoever dared to get closer just pushed hard, "Stay away! Stay away! You ran into our chief and put you in prison." Go to the cage!"

Except for the coolies who came over, even the passers-by who passed by the car were pushed staggeringly by them.

Xuan Huaifeng was getting out of the car. Seeing that the guards were so domineering, he was about to speak when Song Ren rushed to the front and shouted, "Little bastard, how many times have I told you that Adjutant Xuan is a gentleman. If he is here, be gentle to me." some!"

When Xuan Huaifeng heard the words "he is here", it was really remarkable, but he couldn't say anything, so he could only smile bitterly at Bai Xuelan.

After being scolded, the guards calmed down, stopped pushing and scolding passers-by, and guarded back and forth with long guns, clearing a path for Xuanbai two people in the crowd.

After entering the big iron gate of the railway station, and walking further inside, there is a wide waiting hall, which is also crowded with people.After Prime Minister Bai came to power, he once approved a sum of money in the treasury for the repair of public places in the capital. Although most of them were swallowed up by officials, there were still some practical uses, so the hall was decorated quite cleanly and beautifully. There are many wooden seats on both sides, so tired travelers can sit down and have a rest, and they can also drink a glass of plain water at no cost.

As Bai Xuelan, she naturally didn't need to wait here. The group went straight through the waiting hall and went to the platform.

As Xuan Huaifeng walked, he looked out through the figures of the guards, and saw that the railroad tracks on the platform here were empty, and there was a train parked on the opposite platform, and many people were rushing there with their luggage. This is probably the one they will take today.

His eyes inadvertently glanced not far ahead, but he was suddenly taken aback.

In the crowd, two people dressed as employees of a foreign company were struggling to carry their luggage. Behind them, a young man in a suit walked with empty hands, as if he had just got off the train.The man's facial features were clear and handsome, but as if he had experienced some suffering, his face was covered with a layer of slightly burnt yellow.

Who is not Lin Qijun?

Coincidentally, Lin Qijun was probably attracted by the movement of the guards clearing the way. When Xuan Huaifeng saw him, his eyes were also looking in this direction, and the eyes of the two met in midair.

Xuan Huaifeng parted his lips, wanting to say hello to him, and suddenly remembered that Bai Xuelan was the most concerned about this kind of thing, not to cause trouble for no reason, so although his lips parted, he didn't make a sound, instead Sweep your eyes at Bai Xuelan first.

This action fell into Lin Qijun's eyes, and the surprise that had just appeared on Lin Qijun's face disappeared immediately.

It turned out that Bai Xuelan had also discovered Lin Qijun.He seemed unaware of Xuan Huaifeng's hesitation, but seemed very at ease, and walked straight towards Lin Qijun.

As soon as he passed, Xuan Huaifeng followed him without a trace.

Arriving in front of Lin Qijun, Bai Xuelan reached out her hand, shook hands with Lin Qijun, and asked generously, "Just arrived?"

Lin Qijun said, "Yes."

Bai Xuelan said, "I'm going to take Huaifeng back to my hometown. What a coincidence, you just came back, and we are leaving. This is called fate but no share, what a pity."

This remark was very revealing, Xuan Huaifeng was listening, and couldn't help being very embarrassed, thinking that Lin Qijun might be embarrassed too, so he couldn't help but steal a look at Lin Qijun.

The smile on Lin Qijun's face was bitter and sad, and he said lightly, "You are still good at joking like that, there is no use for you and me. Besides, I think this is also a temporary farewell, don't you put He took it there, and never brought it back for the rest of his life? However, I am very envious of you. When you go back to your hometown, you also take an adjutant with you. Along the way, there will be someone to take care of everything."

When speaking, his eyes stopped on Xuan Huaifeng.

Xuan Huaifeng didn't know why, but he was secretly startled by this look, and he was afraid that people would know that he was uncomfortable, so he wanted to pretend to be calm, and looked at Lin Qijun quietly for a moment, moved his eyes slightly down, and stopped. On the piece of black gauze pinned to the sleeve of Lin Qijun's suit, remembering that his family was having a funeral, he said earnestly, "My condolences are changing. I made a phone call to Guangdong a while ago, and asked Mr. Zhang who taught us before, On the day of my aunt's burial, I bought a wreath for me, did you receive it?"

Lin Qijun stared at Xuan Huaifeng deeply, and said in a low voice, "I have received the wreath. I am very grateful for your care. I just thought..."

Halfway through speaking, it seemed that there was a sudden wave in his heart, and his voice was a little choked up, so he didn't continue talking, just put his finger on the black gauze, and stroked it as if reminiscing.

Bai Xuelan didn't seem to care much about this scene, seeing the silence between the two of them, she asked Lin Qijun peacefully, "Lingtang's death was so sudden, Huaifeng and I were shocked when we heard it. I heard you fell down?"

Lin Qijun didn't know what he thought of, and there was a kind of extremely regretful pain in his expression, he just glanced at it, and then hid it, nodded and said, "Yes. She likes to get up early to sit and drink tea on the terrace. There was fog and water, the ground was slippery, and I fell if I didn't pay attention. There was no one at the time. When I found out, I rushed to the hospital. It was...too late..."

Bai Xuelan sighed, "It's really impossible for an elderly person to be less careful."

Lin Qijun smiled wryly, "That's right. Why don't I hate myself. If I stay with her all the time and pay more attention to my mother, there may not be something tragic."

Xuan Huaifeng hurriedly interjected, "Qi Jun, don't be too careful. Xue Lan didn't mean to accuse you of not being careful. He never speaks thoughtfully."

Lin Qijun's eyes fell on Xuan Huaifeng again, feeling a little bit lost inside.

Xuan Huaifeng was stunned, knowing that it was Xuelan who did not speak well, and secretly regretted his slip of the tongue, and then looked at Bai Xuelan, who was looking at him calmly, with a gracious smile on his face, which was really a bit hateful.

At this time, a long bell rang on the platform, probably a train was about to enter the station.

Bai Xuelan looked at the foreign gold watch on her wrist, "We should go too."

After saying hello to Lin Qijun, he left with Xuan Huaifeng.

As for how Lin Qijun looked at their backs from behind, how sad and lonely, he didn't pay attention.

When we got to the opposite platform, there were already many people, waving tickets in their hands, crowding at the doors of the train carriages. There was a conductor standing at the door of each carriage, checking one before letting another go up.

In the third-class compartment, the most crowded people are in front of the door, and further on, there are fewer people in the second-class and first-class seats.In the farthest distance, you can vaguely see that the color of the carriage is different from the others, it is a brand new bright blue.

Xuan Huaifeng saw Bai Xuelan walking forward boldly, apparently heading for the blue carriage, and couldn't help asking, "Isn't that blue?"

Bai Xuelan smiled and said, "Of course it's blue. The capital is not close to Shandong. People like us, why do we still sit in those hard and smelly ordinary ones?"

Xuan Huaifeng disagreed, "According to what you said, the first-class seats are hard and smelly, so wouldn't the third-class seats be tolerated in the world? This blue leather carriage has only been imported from foreign countries for a few dozen cars, and now it is all assigned by the government. For official use. Did you take the prime minister’s official car for private use? This is too extravagant, and it’s a waste of public property. It’s going to be another storm if you want to provoke newspapers and public opinion.”

The old god Bai Xuelan said authentically, "Don't worry, I should be afraid of those who write tabloids. What's more, this time, my cousin asked me to take a walk to Licheng and Zhangqiu to check the bandits. Tolerance?"

Just as he was talking, he suddenly heard a woman's scream from somewhere, and someone shouted "Hurry up!", and there was a commotion in the crowd.

Song Ren didn't know what happened, and was asking the guards to protect the two of them, when suddenly a dirty child shot out from the crowd like an arrow, but he panicked and fled straight to Xuanbai's place.

Before he got there, a patrolman just stopped him, stretched out his hand and slapped the child on the ground, and cursed, "Is there a mother who was born but not taught by a mother, can't beat you to death?"

Lift your feet and kick.

Xuan Huaifeng hurriedly shouted, "Stop! In the clear sky, are you just beating a child like this?"

After hearing this, the patrolman looked back and saw that Xuan Huaifeng was well-dressed and handsome. Knowing that he was not an ordinary person, his face quickly changed into a smile and said, "You misunderstood. Don't think he is young, he is an old pickpocket."

Xuan Huaifeng took a look. The child was slapped until the corner of his mouth was bleeding, and he was lying on the ground. A half-new and old embroidered wallet fell on the ground beside him. It can be seen that the policeman did not lie.

Xuan Huaifeng said, "Even so, you can't fight like this."

The patrolman smiled and said, "Your husband is merciful. Since he opened his mouth, I will not beat him. But he often picks up money from the crowd at the train station, and he will inevitably be beaten in the future. Our subordinates still know the seriousness. Those who were stolen Those who got money hated pickpockets so much, they would beat them to death if they caught them, and I don’t know how many they killed in a year.”

At this time, a woman with an anxious expression squeezed out from the crowd, saw the embroidered wallet on the ground, and said with a sigh of relief, "Here it is."

Bending down to pick up the wallet, looking back, the child was still lying on the ground, curled up timidly, she couldn't help pitying him, helped him up, took the handkerchief, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said with a sigh, "You At this age, you should go to school. Do you have adults in your family? If so, go back and tell your adults that there is a freshman primary school outside the city that teaches poor children. There is no tuition fee and there is food to eat. Ask them to send you there. It's a pity that I have to catch a train, so I can't show you the way, otherwise I would like to take you there."

When Xuan Huaifeng heard the voice, he thought it was familiar, but when he looked carefully, it was the young and beautiful female principal of Xinxin Primary School?He couldn't help but walked up and called out, "Miss Dai."

Dai Yun looked up and saw him, straightened up quickly, nodded, "Mr. Xuan, what a coincidence."

Xuan Huaifeng asked, "Did you get stolen?"

Dai Yun said, "It's me. It's said that the law and order at the train station is chaotic. I didn't know that the situation was so chaotic. I was not careful."

Turning his eyes to Bai Xuelan beside Xuan Huaifeng, he nodded politely and greeted softly, "President Bai."

Probably because of her own carelessness, she fell into Bai Xuelan's eyes, she was a little embarrassed, and a little blush appeared on her cheeks.

Bai Xuelan also nodded with a smile, "Miss Dai."

While they were talking, the little pickpocket turned around and wanted to run away, but the policeman grabbed the nape of his clothes and shouted, "Hey! Hey! You are not honest? I can not beat you, but I will send you to the patrol room Go, otherwise, you will be reopening today."

The child probably entered the patrol room, was very frightened, and struggled even harder, but he was thin and weak, and under the patrol's hands, he was like a chicken being twisted. burst into tears.

Xuan Huaifeng showed a look of unbearable expression on his face, but he remembered that patrolling and catching pickpockets is a natural duty, so it's not good to ask others to bend the law for personal gain.

Bai Xuelan saw what he was thinking, called the policeman over, randomly took two banknotes from his pocket, handed them over and said, "Such a small thing, if you send him to the policeman's room, you can't take credit for it, and you have to pay for a few meals. , It’s not worth it. Take this money, send him to the hospital, find a doctor for him. If there is no serious problem, send him to the freshman elementary school outside the city. You don’t need to ask his parents. Yes What are those adults who asked him to come out to steal money to survive, probably he is also a thief."

Song Ren who was standing next to him said, "The chief is very happy to say this, what kind of adults would ask their children to come out to be pickpockets? If there are such people in the world, they are not worthy of being children's parents."

Seeing that Song Ren called out such a high-ranking title as "Chief", the patrolman dismissed the idea of ​​sending him to the patrol room, and replied respectfully, "Yes, yes."

Bai Xuelan said, "The money is left over after seeing the doctor. Don't swallow it, but give it to the child so that he can buy some food and clothing. I will never treat people badly when I ask people to do things. It's your hard work."

Reaching into his pocket, he took out two banknotes and handed them to the patrolman without looking at them.

What he puts on his body is naturally big bills.

The policeman suddenly received more than two months' salary for hard work. He couldn't help laughing, scratched his patrol cap and said, "How dare you accept your money? You are doing good deeds. In fact, these children, I sympathize with them."

As he said that, he put the banknotes on his body, took the little dirty hands of the child, and said kindly, "Don't be afraid, just follow me. After seeing the doctor, I will treat you to two warm meat buns." .You are lucky."

Bai Xuelan stopped him and asked, "Wait, do you know how to get to Xinsheng Primary School?"

The patrolman stood still and said with a sneer, "But, I don't know. Tell me the address, I will remember it, so I can take him there."

Bai Xuelan cast her eyes on Dai Yun.

Dai Yun saw that Bai Xuelan was calm and generous, with a unique masculine charm in every word and deed, and unconsciously, her eyes were on him.Suddenly Bai Xuelan's gaze swept over her, and her heart trembled suddenly. Then she came back to her senses, and hurriedly told the policeman the address of the school, and said, "The place is remote and not easy to find. If you can't find it, just ask." Let’s talk about the nearby farmers. When you get there, tell the vice principal, Dai Min.”

The patrolman agreed and led the child away.

At this time, the long bell on the platform rang deafeningly again. Seeing that there was no excitement, the onlookers dispersed one after another and continued their respective journeys.

Xuan Huaifeng saw that Dai Yun was carrying a rattan box, and knew that she was not here to give someone away, so he asked, "Miss Dai, are you going on a long trip too?"

Dai Yun said, "I have a real aunt who married far away in Jinan, and we haven't seen each other for many years. Yesterday, a telegram came from her family, saying that she was really seriously ill. So I rushed there. Oh, I hope I can see you again." For the last time. My own mother has been dead for seven or eight years. She is the only sister."

Xuan Huaifeng asked strangely, "Why didn't your brother go, but you?"

Dai Yun sighed, "Brother took the students to pick vegetables in the vegetable garden a week ago. He slipped heavily and his ankle was swollen. So I persuaded him to stay. But he refused to lie on the bed. , go to the office every day on crutches.”

Turning around and looking at the platform behind him, many people have already boarded the car, and said, "Mr. Xuan, it's not good to talk anymore, I'm afraid I'll miss the train. I'll take my leave first. President Bai, take my leave."

Xuan Huaifeng said goodbye to her, but did not turn around. Looking at the direction she was walking, it seemed to be the third-class car at the end of the train. He couldn't help but catch up with her and asked, "Miss Dai, what you bought is a third-class car?" seat?"

Dai Yun said, "Third-class carriages have no seats. I received the telegram yesterday, but today I squeezed half a day to get a standing ticket. This is already very lucky. Many people can't buy a ticket." "

Xuan Huaifeng said in surprise, "The train is mixed with fish and dragons, and you are alone and squeezed in by a woman, it will be unbearable."

Dai Yun smiled wryly, "I thought that when I got on the train, I would find a place to put the rattan box and sit on the rattan box, and I would be able to get through it. But now I see that many of these people are standing tickets. I'm afraid I have to stand on tiptoe, so I won't talk about anything else. But there is nothing I can do. I'm afraid we can't delay any longer on the aunt's side."

Xuan Huaifeng turned his head and looked at Bai Xuelan.

In Bai Xuelan's heart, she really didn't want an extra outsider to appear on the carefully arranged, comfortable and sweet journey for two people.But being watched by Xuan Huaifeng pleadingly like this, he also knew that there was no way to avoid it, so he smiled gracefully, "Miss Dai, we are also going to Jinan. There are vacant seats in this carriage, I really want to invite Miss Dai Together, I don't know if you are willing to show your face."

After all, Dai Yun is a young woman, and she is also worried about getting into the third-class carriage and spending a few days with those smelly men she doesn't know. Since Bai Xuelan said that there are vacancies, it is definitely better than a standing ticket. The acquaintances are going the same way, and their safety is guaranteed, so they smiled generously, "Then I won't bother you. Mr. Bai, thank you very much."

Bai Xuelan replied with a smile, "You're welcome."

He called another guard, "Help Miss Dai carry the box."

This kind of thoughtfulness made Dai Yun even more fond of her.
