Golden Pink Building

Mrs. Leng and Meili originally had a cabin each, but it was only when they were waiting to board the ship that they realized that they had made a mistake. Mrs. Leng and Meili each had a cabin. Osmanthus took Yuan Yuan to live in a double room. Qingqiu and Bai Shaoyi lives in a two-person cabin.As a result, only one single person remained in the two single cabins.Meili offered to live with Mrs. Leng.Waiting for Qingqiu and Bai Shaoyi to go in, they saw Meili comforting Mrs. Leng, and a woman in a mess was standing in the corner of the room, she was wrapped in a blanket, only showing a pair of panicked eyes.

"I know this person, mother of the Leng family, don't be afraid." Meili said, seeing Qingqiu and Shao Yi coming in, she lowered her voice and said, "Cousin, cousin, who do you think she is?" Between his wife Meili and the strange woman, Bai Shaoyi nervously pulled Qingqiu and carefully looked at the girl in front of her.The girl lifted the blanket from her body, Qingqiu and Bai Shaoyi were greatly surprised: "Why are you? Didn't you follow Ouyang Yujian to the south?" Zhao Yiping stood in front of them in rags.

Mrs. Leng had never met Zhao Yihan's sister, and she felt relieved after hearing what her daughter and son-in-law said: "Mei Li and I just went out for a walk, but we saw the commotion downstairs after a while. We came back in a hurry. When we entered the door, we saw a person coming out from behind the window. We were shocked when we saw it. Since it is someone you know, it’s okay. Go ahead, girl, it’s fate to meet you on the road. Where did you and Qingqiu meet? Why haven't I seen you before?" Mrs. Leng thought it was Qingqiu's classmate, and when she and Mei Li saw a stranger when they entered the room, they were all terrified.

Qingqiu and Bai Shaoyi quickly exchanged clear glances, and they probably guessed why Zhao Yiping appeared here, Zhao Yiping was wrapped in a blanket, probably mixed with someone who has no cabins and can only live on the lower deck and has no money to buy the lowest-class ferry ticket people inside.The ship is divided into first class, second class and third class. All three classes of tickets have cabins where you can rest, but the degree of comfort is different, and the size of the cabins is also different.There are also some people who can't even afford the third-class ticket, so they can only wrap blankets or quilts on the deck outside the third-class cabin at the stern, braving the sea breeze to shelter on the deck.Looking at Zhao Yiping's appearance, she definitely didn't escape here because she didn't buy a boat ticket.The chaos outside has a lot to do with Zhao Yiping.

"Mei Li, just now Yuan Yuan was clamoring to find you. I have something to say to her, so I will send Yuan Yuan here, and you can play with her for a while. It seems that we are going to go ashore, waiting to go ashore, I Treat you to dinner with your cousin." Said Qingqiu took Zhao Yiping away and sent Yuanyuan to Mrs. Leng and Meili's room. "Cousin, that's Zhao Yihan's younger sister. Didn't I hear that she followed her brother-in-law to the south, why did she become like this? I didn't recognize her at first sight. How could she—" Meili suddenly remembered Zhao Zhonghua's death, The two sisters of the Zhao family lost their backing and fell to this point. They couldn't help but feel cold, thinking of their own situation, their faces darkened.

"She's different from you. If someone asks later if you've met the stranger, don't say anything." Qingqiu had a premonition that Zhao Yiping would be troublesome, and told Mei Li and her mother not to talk too much.

Watching Zhao Yiping clean up the snacks on the plate, Qingqiu poured her another glass of water: "Don't worry, eat slowly. If you are not with Mr. Ouyang, you should go to your brother or sister. A girl every family Yes, it's not a problem to be alone outside. I'll ask the waiter to arrange a place for you to live in later. It seems that you have to wait a while before landing."

Hearing that Qingqiu was going to call someone, Zhao Yiping stood up like a frightened rabbit, faltering in a panic: "I got lost and came here to disturb you by mistake. I'm leaving now." Saying that, Zhao Yiping wanted to Walk.

"I see that many policemen and patrols outside are here because of you." Bai Shaoyi said coolly, listening to Bai Shaoyi's words, Zhao Yiping's face changed drastically, and he stayed where he was.

"Don't worry, your brother and I grew up together, and we can never watch his sister being taken away. I don't care who you are or what you do. You don't have to explain to us, and we don't want to hear it. Here They shouldn't come to hinder the search of the house, you just stay here. I'll find a way to get you ashore when the boat docks." Bai Shaoyi said while carefully observing the expression changes on Zhao Yiping's face, watching Zhao Yiping change from panic I became a little more at ease, and I was more sure of my speculation in my heart.Sure enough, she was led by Ouyang Yujian to take another path, and she didn't agree with Bai Shaoyi's idea that Ouyang Yujian admired.He thought that was too radical, completely different from the ideas he had accepted since childhood.Bai Shaoyi comes from a legal background, and the most methodical temperament.In his opinion, he can sit down and say anything, and politics is the art of compromise.

Ouyang Yujian knocked everything down, it really didn't suit his appetite.Zhao Yiping is young, and she admires Ouyang Yujian very much. Naturally, she regards everything Ouyang says as her standard.But for Zhao Zhongshu's sake, he can't watch Zhao Yiping go to jail, or even lose his life.The Beijing authorities have gone on a killing spree against opinion elements, and all prominent leaders have been killed, let alone a small guy like Zhao Yiping?However, Bai Shaoyi has a lot of opinions on those in power in Beijing, and now seeing Zhao Yiping, whether in public or private, she will not hand over her.

Qingqiu was a little surprised by her husband's attitude, he once said that he would respect everyone in the Zhao family except Zhao Zhongshu, why did he suddenly change his mind at this juncture today.Although Zhao Yiping is pitiful, her identity as being hunted down and the background of the Zhao family make Qing Qiuyu hesitate.They came south to avoid disaster, so why make trouble again.But she immediately understood that for Zhao Zhongshu's sake, they couldn't sit idly by.What's more, among the girls in the Zhao family, it is Zhao Yihan who makes people angry.The girl in front of me was a poor girl.It's a pity that she is young and ignorant, she was born without a father, she has such a mother and sister, and she also met Ouyang Yujian. "Don't worry, we believe that you will not do illegal things. You have your own reasons for being in such a situation. After all, you are a girl, and we can't watch you be taken away." Qingqiu stepped forward and pressed Zhao Yiping's shoulder and called He stayed in the cabin at ease.Since Bai Shaoyi decided to help, Qingqiu and her husband would naturally advance and retreat together.

Bai Shaoyi didn't expect that Qingqiu could help Zhao Yiping without any grievances, and she was very moved. His wife was connected with him and could support her unconditionally. "What your sister-in-law said is that your brother and I have grown up as friends. Before he left Beijing, he also told me that if I meet you in the future, I will help you if I can. You can stay here with peace of mind. I will go and see The direction of the wind." Bai Shaoyi gave Qingqiu a grateful look, and turned to go out.

Qingqiu held Bai Shaoyi's overcoat: "It's cold outside, put it on. If there is anything important, send me a message." As she spoke, Qingqiu helped Bai Shaoyi put on the overcoat, sent her husband out, stood at the door, Qingqiu looked deeply at A glance at Bai Shaoyi: "Be careful yourself." Bai Shaoyi gave his wife a reassuring look, opened the door and went out.

Only Qingqiu and Zhao Yiping were left in the room, and they were relatively silent, sitting silently.Some cries, yelling, and scolding came indistinctly.Suddenly a sharp gunshot pierced the silence.Qingqiu's heart tightened suddenly. "Thank you, Mrs. Bai. I'd better go out. You are all very good people, and I shouldn't implicate you. "

"Since we decided to keep you here, we won't regret it. How are you doing these days? Although I don't know what your plan is. But that kind of thing is too dangerous. You are a girl and your family must be stable, Ouyang Why isn't Yu Jian with you?" Although Qing Qiu had a big rock hanging in her heart, she still calmly persuaded Zhao Yiping to stay.

Zhao Yiping heard Qingqiu mention Ouyang Yujian, her dim eyes suddenly became sparkling, she lowered her voice, but couldn't suppress her excitement and excitement: "I used to live in a muddle, only after I was with my brother-in-law did I know that I can also Be my own master. In the past, I was not an independent individual. I was just someone's daughter, someone's sister. If I didn't know my brother-in-law, I might have been in a daze for the rest of my life. Relying on others to decide my life. My parents would casually treat me When I marry someone, I either listen to my parents or rely on my husband, and I will rely on my son in the future. I am like a marionette in other people's hands. But now I am free, have my own thoughts and opinions, and are strong. I am not afraid of being arrested, nor do I regret my current life. I have a mission to go to Beijing this time—”

She didn't finish talking, Bai Shaoyi opened the door and came in.Qingqiu stared at Bai Shaoyi closely, and quickly scanned her husband's whole body.Seeing him intact, Qingqiu breathed a long sigh of relief, "How is it outside? Are the police going to come and search one by one?" Qingqiu was worried that if they really searched the rooms next to each other, even if it was a first-class cabin, there would be nothing they could do. There is a big living person hiding.

"Don't worry, those patrols won't come. You never thought that I would meet an acquaintance on the ship. He is British and is now a patrol officer in the International Settlement. I told him that I brought my family and children , need to be quiet. He will not arrange for people to check one by one. Just need to check the documents when you are waiting to disembark. You can stay here for the time being, and you and I will go back when you disembark. I will call your brother Call and ask him to pick you up." Bai Shaoyi said to Qingqiu: "You ask Osmanthus to bring some clothes to the second lady, and during the inspection, she said that she is a servant of our family, and she accidentally lost her ID on the way. I am on the side Find someone to accommodate and you'll be fine." Bai Shaoyi looked calm and arranged the next thing.

Zhao Yiping twisted the corner of her clothes, and said gratefully: "Mr. Bai, Mrs. Bai, you don't need to take risks for me anymore. I'll go out among the third-class passengers later. I won't go with my brother. I still have Things have to be done. I thank you all." She said, bowing deeply to Qingqiu and Bai Shaoyi.

"Oh, can you really get off the boat? We are going back to our hometown after a few days of rest in Shanghai. I will definitely tell your brother about you, and he will definitely not allow you to run around outside." Bai Shaoyi listened to Zhao Yiping Can't help but frown, this Zhao Yiping is too young and reckless.Politics is too complicated for a girl to mix with, and she is still very young and has no rich experience, so Ouyang Yujian just dragged her into it.How could she have found such an irresponsible husband, and she didn't know if she and Ouyang Yujian were considered husband and wife now.

"I still have a companion. My brother begs you not to tell him." It was already quiet outside, and the crew began to blow their whistles, telling the third-class passengers to line up on the deck and prepare to disembark from the other side. "Thank you, I'm leaving." Zhao Yiping took a deep look at Qingqiu, opened the door resolutely and left.

The room became quiet, and Bai Shaoyi sighed after a long while: "It seems that Zhongshu is going to be disappointed. Recently, he wrote to me and told me that the family members of the Zhao family used to be separated from each other. He felt guilty for not being able to take care of his younger sister. If he knew that his younger sister had joined a radical party, how would he feel? In fact, since Zhao Yiping wants to make revolution and work hard to change the status quo, he might as well go to Guangzhou to find her brother. I heard that in Guangzhou The weather there is completely new, completely different from Beijing.”

"Everyone has their own ambitions, and they can't come by force. How can Zi Feiyu know the joy of fish? I talked to her when you were away, and she really regarded Ouyang Yujian's words as an imperial decree. It's just that a big man Ouyang actually put What kind of dangerous thing does my wife push out? It's really shameless!" Qingqiu thought of his words and deeds when he got along with Ouyang before, and suddenly felt uncomfortable in his heart.Ouyang Yujian's pursuit of his ideals is not bad, but he can't ask his lover to risk his life to pay for his ideals. No matter what doctrine he believes in or what he does, this kind of person is unfeeling, mean and selfish.Poor Zhao Yiping is still willing, and doesn't think there is any problem with Ouyang Yujian's character.

Sure enough, women are more willing to pay for their feelings than men. "She is infatuated, but I don't know if she can be cherished. I hope she will have a good end." Qingqiu sighed with Zhao Yiping and calmed down: "Let's pack up and get off the boat quickly. Right. Mom and Meili are exhausted from the journey." Bai Shaoyi also smiled: "The things have been packed long ago, just take the suitcase and go. I can't leave her alone because of Zhao Zhongshu's affection. Why do you want to help? Although you are sincere, you will not be a bad person casually. Zhao Yiping's sister is Zhao Yihan."

Listening to Bai Shaoyi's words, Qingqiu gave her husband a funny look, "Am I the kind of narrow-minded person? She didn't do anything wrong at all, she just meddled in the party dispute for no reason. You have to take care of the friendship between friends. Is it possible to separate the two families? You know in your heart and still use your words to mislead me." Bai Shaoyi saw a layer of anger rising on Qingqiu's face, and quickly apologized with a smile and bowed and begged for mercy: "Madam Shengming, I am confused, my lord If you don’t remember the faults of villains, please forgive me. If I share your thoughts with you in my heart, I will die a terrible death!”

"You are a person who talks nonsense without thinking about it!" Qingqiu raised his hand to hold Bai Shaoyi's mouth, "Qingqiu, we are disembarking!" Mrs. Leng knocked on the door outside, urging them to disembark quickly.

Waiting for Bai Shaoyi and his family to disembark from the passage dedicated to the first-class cabin, he also deliberately looked at the pier, where the third-class cabin and deck passengers were getting off the boat from another trestle, but Zhao Yiping was no longer seen. Figure up.Bai Shaoyi's friends in Shanghai were already waiting for them on the pier, so he put aside Zhao Yiping's whereabouts, waved to his friends, hugged his daughter and helped Qingqiu get off the boat.
