Costume Mountains and Rivers

Mo Qinghe was holding the kraft letter paper in both hands, and there was a roar in his ears. He didn't pay attention to what Hang Yunyang rushed over to say. He opened the envelope in a panic, pulled out the letter paper and shook it, bowed his head, and a tear fell down , A round dark watermark is formed on the paper.

He grinned at Shen Peinan in embarrassment, wiped the corners of his eyes with his sleeve, and read the letter after his vision became clear. The letter was very short, only half a page, and recorded more than a dozen women with names and surnames, all of whom were in the 14th century of the Republic of China. She lost her child around [-], or sold her child to others. Mo Qinghe moved her gaze blankly from top to bottom, and then from bottom to top, reading the names one by one, but did not find any impression.

The envelope was bulging, and he reached out to take out the rest of the things, and found that it was a stack of deeds of sale, the paper had turned yellow and brittle, some were still intact, and some were only fragments.He picked up one at random, and saw a row of crooked brush characters written on it: Wang Ergou, male, six years old, sold to the Feng family as slaves for a 20-year limit, and he will not be held responsible if he escapes and commits suicide during the period.

Flipping through a few more casually, they are all similar contracts. The torn pieces of paper from more than ten years ago have been carefully folded. You can see how much effort the staff took to find these. Maybe even the owner used them to press the bottom of the box. File, Mo Qinghe's eyes were red again, she raised her head and said to Shen Peinan: "Thank you."

Shen Peinan is not good at sensationalism, so he put the cup of sherbet aside, raised his legs and said: "Take it back and think about it slowly, but it's a pity that the theater troupe you were in has been disbanded long ago, and it has been changed into a crab restaurant. People went in and looked through it, but found nothing." He pulled back the envelope, unnaturally avoiding Mo Qinghe's sight, "You don't need to thank me, if you suffer even the slightest grievance by my side, you will use your mother to yell at me. Disgusting."

Shen Peinan's eyes clearly hid warmth, Mo Qinghe was already choked up, and couldn't help laughing through tears at these words, pursing her lips and saying: "You are such a person, you can't say a good word."

On the side, Hang Yunyang was still grabbing the front of the little Huadan and waiting for Mo Qinghe to leave. Seeing that the two of them had reconciled first, he snorted angrily, pushed the person in front of him away, and dusted off the satin shirt with disdain. Begonia petals, wagging their heads and walking towards the card table.

It happened that Yunyang's new best friend, Mr. Chen Zongyi, heard the noise and came out to meet him. Yunyang twisted his body and threw himself into Chen Zongyi's arms. He poked his forehead hard with his fingertips, and said angrily, "I'm done arguing with others, why don't you come back?" What are you doing out there?"

After enduring this sweet punishment, Chen Zongyi pulled Yunyang's shoulders and turned him around, pushed him forward, greeted Shen Peinan, and whispered to Hang Yunyang with a smile: "I will replace you Shout out and solidify your victory."

Chen Zongyi is a well-known businessman in troubled times. Today he has a shiny back comb. The fabric of the gray suit is luxurious. He is fitted with a pair of platinum square cufflinks according to the latest style. A round platinum watch chain extends from his pocket. Stylish and decent.He is actually very young and beautiful, but because of his extravagant outfit, people will not notice his appearance. For example, if a shirt is starched too white and crisp, its texture will be easily overlooked.

Mo Qinghe didn't like his modesty and tact as a businessman, and even sneered at his strategy of only recognizing money and making the country rich. However, he received an order from the organization, saying that although this person is not involved in politics, his background is very complicated. On the one hand, the backstage is tough, his actions are of great significance to the battle situation, and he must be dealt with well.

This is not difficult to do, because Shen Peinan also values ​​Chen Zongyi, or in other words, people of some status in Beiping and Tianjin Wei want to win over him. He holds the most useful resources in troubled times-transportation, arms, medicine, intelligence, and An easygoing companion who can do business with any party as long as he has the money.

Relying on his skillful eyes and eyes and his open doting on Hang Yunyang, Mo Qinghe's incompetent little junior has completely gained a foothold in Beiping. His speech and behavior are no longer the same as they were a few months ago, and he even dared to sit up on an equal footing with Shen Peinan .

Shen Peinan walked away the little flower girl, hugged Mo Qinghe to his side, turned around and said jokingly to Chen Zongyi: "Brother Chen, I was taught a lesson by your people just now, tell me, should you take some responsibility? "

Chen Zongyi bowed his hands, and said haha: "I'm spoiled, I can't control him long ago, brother Shen, don't laugh at Chen being partial, and take care of Yunyang more for my sake."

He sat down on the sofa with Hang Yunyang, Shen Peinan raised his hand backwards, and a servant immediately handed over a cigar box, Chen Zongyi took out one elegantly, first checked the hot stamping on it, sniffed it on the tip of his nose, and said with a smile: "Authentic Cuban goods, good things that I don’t even have at my place, brother Shen has good taste.”

He inspected the quality of the cigar, and then nodded in agreement with a smile, and the servants immediately stepped forward to light it.

Shen Peinan was upset by his actions, and sarcastically said: "Brother Chen is too modest, you don't have such goods, is it possible that your fleet rests in Japan Harbor to catch squid? I am afraid that in your place, not only tobacco, but also Smoke soil is one of the best."

Chen Zongyi started his business by building a fleet in the Pacific Ocean and conducting a smuggling business. Now, almost everyone knows that he is making black money by selling arms.Another big incident happened recently. Seven or eight of his ocean-going fishing boats were intercepted by Shen Peinan's soldiers when they entered Shanghai Port. After searching, a large amount of smuggled goods such as smoke, cameras, watches, etc. were found in the dark layer of the cabin. The soldiers thought they had taken advantage of it, so they detained the boat first and sent a telegram to claim credit for Shen Peinan.

Shen Peinan is usually willing to let his subordinates scrape off the oil and water of these unscrupulous merchants, but when he heard that it was Chen Zongyi's boat, he immediately put the fishing boat under custody and transferred the goods to the military supply warehouse. In the bureau, Tuomo Qinghe brought a message to Hang Yunyang and waited quietly for Chen Zongyi to come to his door.

Chen Zongyi was well aware of Shen Peinan's desire to negotiate terms, so he immediately brought Hang Yunyang to visit. He didn't question the crime or inquire about the whereabouts of the goods. He played bridge with Shen Peinan every day with great interest, spoke respectfully and politely, and meant to compete with him patiently.

After nearly two weeks of stalemate, the aquatic products in Shanghai Port had already been divided up by the soldiers. He finally heard something about the fleet from Shen Peinan, and borrowed the slope to say: "Brother Chen praised Chen, everyone knows that Chen is A dutiful fish merchant, Brother Shen has inspected my boat, so he naturally knows my character."

He exhaled a stream of blue smoke, crossed his legs, showed his shiny brand-name leather shoes, and said with a smile on his face, "These seven or eight boats have been detained by Brother Shen. It's hard to do business. In autumn, the crabs are getting fat. What about these boats?" As a reward to the soldiers, I hope that brother Shen will hold his hand high, even if he doesn't want to take Chen's face, don't let Mr. Mo's precious junior brother can't even buy the clothes he likes because of my financial problems."

Shen Peinan was not interested in those ships of smoke and earth, he had his eyes on Chen Zongyi's transportation channel, and hearing that he was taking the initiative to give in, he asked Aunt Jin to make a pot of good Longjing tea, poured him a cup himself, and said calmly: " I haven't touched Mr. Chen's goods, and I've been waiting for the opportunity to return them to Zhao, but since Brother Chen proposed it today, I do have a request."

Chen Zongyi made a gesture of please, and Shen Peinan pondered: "Money is a good thing, everyone loves it, but Shen is a soldier, and he likes collecting guns and ammunition more than money. Today I want to talk to Brother Chen about something." For business, if Brother Chen meets Shen’s request, don’t say that I won’t take any money to protect you from passing through Shanghai Port, as long as it’s Mr. Chen’s ship, it’s no problem to sail all the way into Chongqing.”

Since the end of the Northern Expedition, the KMT's top leaders have been secretly involved in various underground businesses to expand their industries. Shen Peinan has a bad reputation recently. Chen Zongyi thought he would ask to borrow merchant ships to transfer assets abroad, but he didn't expect him to buy arms.

Glancing at the poker table where Zhou Rubai and Dai Changming were, Chen Zongyi lowered his voice and said to Shen Peinan: "Arms trading is too risky, and I won't do business that loses money."

Shen Peinan lazily took a puff of cigarette, and pouted at Old Liu. Old Liu was ready and opened a suitcase. Inside were rows of yellow gold bars. Shen Peinan said: "This is the deposit, I want it The quantity is large, and when the goods arrive, I will pay according to the average black market price."

Chen Zongyi's eyes lit up, he secretly thought about the number of gold bars, as if he had made up his mind, he picked up the teacup and drank the tea in one gulp, saying: "Okay, brother Shen is a straightforward person, I like it, I will take this business."

Shen Peinan waved his hand and asked Lao Liu to take the suitcase away, then took out a piece of paper folded into small squares from his shirt pocket and stuffed it to Chen Zongyi, and said in a voice that could hardly be heard by outsiders: "If there is morphine, you can bring it in." As much as I want."

Chen Zongyi was startled: "What do you want those for?"

Shen Peinan showed an ambiguous smile of "don't ask", as if implying that this is a personal matter for him. There are not a few high-ranking officials who smuggle drugs at the right time. He himself raised his voice and said, "Isn't it because Mr. Wang is going back to China, and there are too many hidden dangers in the country, so plan to get up early."

The two chatted earnestly, but Hang Yunyang played with buttonholes and rings for a while. He was really bored and panicked. Finally, he couldn't help but patted the back of Chen Zongyi's hand hard, and reprimanded him: "Are you going to finish? I came to see Senior Brother, and then American and Japanese, my senior brother understands reason, unlike you who only know how to get money, if you get involved again and I annoy him, see how I deal with you!"

Chen Zongyi was opening his wallet, and took out a small bag of morphine in the interlayer to show the purity of the sample to Shen Peinan. Hearing this, he immediately put his arms around Hang Yunyang's shoulder and nodded with an apologetic smile: "Okay, let's not talk, I will listen to you. My Yunyang is happy. I'm happy."

Sure enough, he immediately stopped the conversation with Shen Peinan, turned his head and made out with Yun Yang, who turned around like a young daughter-in-law who had just been neglected, sulking, and Ren Chen Zongyi didn't pay him much attention no matter how much he apologized.

Mo Qinghe didn't expect that a person of Chen Zongyi's status would favor Hang Yunyang to such an extent. He smiled and saw his younger brother and his lover were inseparable. Thinking of his younger brother's selfishness and Chen Zongyi's selfishness, a sentence suddenly appeared in his mind, called Fish look for fish, shrimp look for shrimp, turtles match cuckolds, neither of them is a good guy, but being a pair of mandarin ducks is enviable.

He bowed his head and took a sip of tea, and laughed out loud, thinking that if the organization sent him to monitor Chen Zongyi, he would save a lot of trouble now, he would never fall in love with this kind of person, and he would never waste energy getting angry with him, let alone Impossible to spend time talking about dreams and beliefs.He smiled and stared at his junior brother's sweet smile and coquettish appearance, the more he looked at it, the more he looked like Yu Qiao, he couldn't help sighing, thinking that Shen Peinan must have cherished him a hundred times more than he did to himself, the two of them still didn't last long, he was neither obedient nor obedient , I don’t know how long it can last?

The playful part of his character suddenly made him feel lost, he quietly rested his head on Shen Peinan's shoulder, and said softly: "I haven't talked to you properly for a few days, you can accompany me today."

Shen Peinan hummed, seeing that Mo Qinghe was displeased with Dai Changming's invitation to a courtesan, and didn't intend to pamper him, so he reminded: "Do you remember what I told you?"

Mo Qinghe looked at his icy face, and the only hope in her heart was gone. She responded in her heart that you reminded me over and over again that you would never have a relationship with me, and told me not to fall in love with you, but you were kind to me, isn't it? When my heart is made of iron?He didn't have the guts to ask, so he replied, "I remember everything." Then he stopped talking.

It happened that Lao Liu brought a plate of washed strawberries to the table. Seeing that the two lovers looked at each other affectionately, each of them looked very handsome, and the background of the living room was luxurious and spacious, he held a glass plate and praised: "It's so beautiful, but it's a pity that there is nothing at home. There is no camera, or if you take a photo and publish it in a magazine, you must be more beautiful than those models."

Chen Zongyi picked the reddest strawberry, took off the leaves and handed it to Hang Yunyang's mouth to coax him. Hearing this, he said with a smile: "Yunyang and I have nothing serious to do every day. Is it true that Brother Shen is going out to sell his lust for extra money? ?”

Now even Zhou Rubai and Dai Changming couldn't help laughing. They threw away the cards in their hands and came over to eat strawberries to join in the fun. They deliberately stood behind Lao Liu and looked at the faces of the four of them. As far as the artistic vision is concerned, Boss Mo, Boss Hang, and Brother Chen are all so white that they can squeeze out water, Pei Nan looks like a general, and he is incompatible with other people, so he should be excluded."

Shen Peinan swallowed one of the biggest strawberries, and said with a smile: "If you remove it, remove it. I've been reading newspapers every day recently. There's nothing good about it. It makes me want to hide when I see the camera."

Dai Changming is a person who likes gossip the most. When he saw Chen Zongyi showing Shen Peinan a sample of morphine just now, he threw the wallet on the table and forgot to collect it, and shouted as if he had discovered a new world: "Speaking of photos, I found a new world." A new gadget!"

Before Chen Zongyi could make a move, the wallet was snatched by Dai Changming quickly, and he stood in front of his face to prevent everyone from seeing him, showing a pair of eyes, looking at Hang Yunyang sneakily and saying: "You are really a civilized person, this kind of photo is placed every day In front of Brother Chen, aren't you afraid that he will get angry as soon as he sees it and delay the business?"

Hang Yunyang is the most open-minded person, he didn't take it seriously and said: "You look like you've got a baby, all of you here are men, can I be as shy as a big girl?" He grabbed the wallet and threw it on the table, then Everyone circulated it, and Mo Qinghe glanced at it. It turned out to be an extremely erotic half-length photo of Hang Yunyang, dressed in women's clothing, wearing only a red apron embroidered with blue phoenix birds, revealing snow-white arms. There was a romantic smell, as if she could be abducted to bed at any time.

Mo Qinghe is now used to the behavior of his junior brother, tsk tsk and hit him with a feather fan with a smile, Hang Yunyang hid while arguing, and jumped to Shen Peinan's side, now he kissed him hard on the face, and then went to touch him With the wallet in his pocket, he said coquettishly: "I want to see what my brother looks like in the wallet of the teacher. If I see nude photos, I will make fun of him!"
