Jin Yu Dynasty

Here Xuan Huaifeng was led respectfully, and walked around the office for more than half of the time. These government agencies are all similar, with doors and glass windows, a few desks with lamps and documents on them. The people in the office saw the chief. When I was in the car, I had already made preparations for the officer to patrol, and everything was tidied up.

In this way, no matter who came, he couldn't see what happened for a while.

On the other hand, Xuan Huaifeng himself, wearing a neat and brand-new military uniform, was in good spirits, handsome and tall. Everywhere he went, the members of the army bowed their heads and wrote vigorously, as if there was something wrong with him. A job that can never be done in a lifetime. In fact, outside the door and windows, I don't know how many pairs of eyes were squeezed to peep at the celebrity next to the chief.

Rather than saying that he inspected various departments, it is better to say that he was inspected by various departments.

After watching it for a long time, Xuan Huaifeng also felt that it was not interesting, so he asked the member who led the way to take him to the adjutant's room. When he arrived at the adjutant's room, he thanked the member and asked him to do his own thing.

Xuan Huaifeng pushed the door open by himself, only to find that Adjutant Sun hadn't come back yet.

I don't know what important business to discuss with Bai Xuelan, and the chat is not over yet?

He planned to review some documents and waited for Adjutant Sun to come back. He went to the table and saw that there was a neat stack, all of which had been approved, and the ones waiting for approval had probably not been delivered yet.

As a result, there was nothing he could do, and Xuan Huaifeng didn't want to wait, so he simply left the adjutant's room by himself, and went upstairs to find Bai Xuelan according to the route he remembered just now.

As soon as he reached the corner of the stairs, a purple shadow suddenly appeared above, if Xuan Huaifeng hadn't stopped his steps so fast, he would have almost bumped into it.

That purple shadow was hurrying down, looked around again, suddenly saw Xuan Huaifeng, dazed for a moment, didn't stop: "Ah", she yelled softly, and tilted her body.

"Be careful!"

Xuan Huaifeng suddenly stretched out his hand to support the man, and when he saw it, he couldn't help being surprised: "It's you?"

It turned out to be Shu Yange's pear blossom.

This is also half an acquaintance.

Lihua was wearing a used purple satin cheongsam, carrying a small satin handbag with a gold handle, and smiled at Xuan Huaifeng, then suddenly frowned, showing a painful expression.

Xuan Huaifeng was startled, and hurriedly asked, "What? Where did you get hurt?"

Lihua nodded, and said softly, "It looks like I sprained my ankle."

While talking, he looked around and said quietly to Xuan Huaifeng: "I don't want to be seen, Adjutant Xuan, where is there a convenient place for you, I will just sit down and leave." There was a little pleading in his eyes.

A woman who was injured and begged like this, no man with dignity can ignore it.

Xuan Huaifeng had no choice but to help her to the adjutant's room and let her sit down.

Just about to find some medicine for her, Lihua said: "Don't make such a big noise, lest people don't know? Look at the glass cold water bottle on the office cabinet. Please, bring it here. I use this water bottle." Just apply it."

Xuan Huaifeng fetched the cold water bottle, and Lihua wetted it with her own handkerchief, and stuck it on her right ankle, as a cold compress.

Xuan Huaifeng watched her take off her high heels, put a snow-white foot across the opposite chair, turned her eyes to the other side, and asked curiously after a while, "Why are you here?"

Lihua had already guessed that he would ask this question, Shui Lingling stared at him for a moment, then replied with a smile: "It's another one, I'm not going to tell the truth, just find any reason to prevaricate. But since you spoke, I have no choice but to tell the truth, but there is one thing that you can't pursue to the end after I tell you."

Xuan Huaifeng said: "Tell me, I'm just asking casually, what can I pursue?"

Lihua pursed her lips and smiled: "You don't know, I hurried downstairs just now, and it was you who hid."

Xuan Huaifeng was even more surprised: "Why are you hiding from me?"

Only then did Li Hua whisper: "You know that a place like our Shuyang Pavilion needs a group of regular customers to support it in order to survive. As regular customers, not only will they come to the pavilion, but occasionally they will ask the girls to meet outside .Today, a senior official in your department called my note. Who knew that you and your chief executive arrived just after I arrived, which surprised my guest. The superior should know about this matter. Is he still an official? Just because of this, he hurriedly asked me to hide. When you were patrolling just now, I hid behind the cabinet and watched. Oh, you are wearing the clothes of an officer, and someone is leading the way. You don’t even dare to look up, but you’re so majestic.”

Eyes full of admiration and envy slipped towards Xuan Huaifeng.

Xuan Huaifeng was embarrassed by the words.

Lihua said: "As soon as you leave, I will leave in a hurry in order not to implicate my guest. I don't have to sit and be exposed. I didn't expect to be caught by you on the stairs. It can be seen Ah, one cannot be guilty, one is always more afraid of something, more bumped into something.”

Although she said this, there was no fear on her face, and she was smiling, as if this matter was very interesting.

Xuan Huaifeng asked, "Which department is your guest from?"

Li Hua giggled, and pressed her finger on her lips: "Didn't you say you won't pursue it? Why don't you say what you say? If I say it, he will be scolded at least, or even lost his official position at the most. Not my fault."

Xuan Huaifeng asked: "A member of the government office calls a girl, does this happen often?"

Lihua said: "There is an old saying that all birds in the world are as black. Haven't you heard of it?"

Hearing what she said, Xuan Huaifeng knew that such things happened often.

I sighed in my heart.

No matter how many orders are repeated by the top, it is enough to be followed by the bottom.

Seeing that he was silent, Lihua looked at his expression secretly, feeling a little guilty in her heart, after thinking for a while, she put a jade hand on his arm, and said softly: "Don't be angry, which official is not like this now? Speaking of the Republic of China, I think it’s almost the same as when the emperor Laozi was there. Even if he was a good person, as long as he becomes an official, holds power in his hand, and sees money in his eyes, he will become lustful and wicked. The world is like this, why do you have to be so unworthy of sulk with the world?"

She paused for a while, her expression changed suddenly, she seemed to think of something, and said, "By the way, let me tell you another matter, this matter has something to do with you."

She paused for a while, her expression changed suddenly, she seemed to think of something, and said, "By the way, let me tell you another matter, this matter has something to do with you."

Xuan Huaifeng asked, "What's the matter?"

Lihua asked: "The last time you and President Bai came to Shuyang Pavilion, there was a girl who sang Cantonese tunes, named Xiaofeiyan. Do you remember her?"

Xuan Huaifeng immediately remembered and said, "Why don't you remember? She and I are still fellow villagers. What happened to her?"

Lihua sighed first: "In my opinion, if she goes with you that day, even if she is a girl who serves tea and water, she will be blessed. It's a pity that you are so high-spirited and upright, and you insist on refusing to take it. Boss Dad Wang happened to have something to ask for, so he gave her to a regimental leader surnamed Zhang."

"There is such a thing?" Xuan Huaifeng was taken aback: "Oops, didn't I harm her? Did the leader treat her very badly?"

Lihua said: "Oh, a big man who can only lead soldiers, how can he not like a beautiful girl in his teens? It's good for the head of the regiment to treat her at first. But his family has been with him all year round. Now that we are in the city, things will get worse. It’s good that the leader doesn’t want to see her, but when he shows that he likes her, the leader’s wife will naturally be unhappy.”

Xuan Huaifeng asked: "Is the head of the regiment unable to control his wife?"

Lihua said: "She is the original wife, she was married by Ming Media in her hometown, she served her in-laws for many years, she and her husband survived the hard times, and they gave birth to two sons. There are so many meritorious deeds on display, nothing compares to her. Xiao Feiyan, who entered the door halfway, is a bit better. Although the head of the group is a rough man, he is helpless when facing his wretched wife. For one thing, he is too new to Xiao Feiyan, and often outside There are more fresh game, and secondly, the wife at home had a few quarrels about Xiao Feiyan, so he got upset, so he simply handed Xiao Feiyan over to his wife, and he put aside his hands, just went outside and had a good time Therefore, the wife took her anger out on Xiao Feiyan even more. She is a concubine in name, but in fact she only treats her like a third- or fourth-class girl, cursing and beating her whenever she wants, often just for a trivial matter. If she is forced to kneel under the sun, she will be given a meal every now and then.”

After hearing this, Xuan Huaifeng felt guilty and remorseful, and couldn't help asking: "However, how do you know about other people's affairs?"

Lihua said: "I didn't know at first. Just a few days ago, a little girl was sent to the pavilion, crying and begging. I took a closer look and realized it was her. It was me who was meddlesome, so I went over to ask After asking, she told me these things while crying. It turned out that the head's wife still couldn't tolerate her, saying that she stole money and wanted to sell her to Shuyange. She is so young and beautiful, and has learned to play and sing. The mother in Li really wanted to accept it. But before paying the money, the head's family came back again and said they wanted to take her back. Probably because they wanted to sell a concubine into a kiln, so they have a bad reputation. I changed my mind temporarily. Well, if it were me, I would rather sell it and let it go. At least I have food and clothing. Who is not raised by her biological parents? I see that she has such a tiny bone in her thin arm, it is really pitiful. Xuan Adjutant, you are a powerful person, can you help her? As the saying goes, saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda."

Looking at Xuan Huaifeng expectantly.

Needless to say, Xuan Huaifeng also felt righteous indignation.

But things can't be done without thinking.

He pondered for a while, then frowned and said, "If it is possible to redeem her with money, that's no problem. I'll just raise money. However, she is now someone else's concubine. Even if we are willing to spend money, she will They may not be willing to let us redeem her. If you want to get things done, you have to go through her husband's test. Have you ever asked Xiao Feiyan, what is the full name of the head of the regiment? Where did he lead the soldiers? Where do you work?"

Lihua smiled and said, "We only met for a short while, so how can we ask so many questions. But she told me that the head of the group is from the same hometown as her, and she often praised her for singing Cantonese opera. So I think that the head of the regiment is probably from Guangdong. By the way, there are a lot of military masters from Guangdong in the city recently, not counting other places. In Shuyange alone, there are guests who speak Cantonese almost every night. Wearing a military uniform and leading the guards, he looks vicious. However, he is very generous. I don’t know if Xiao Feiyan’s regimental leader Zhang is also part of that group.”

When Xuan Huaifeng heard that he was from Guangdong, he thought of the group he met yesterday.

If this is the case, you can ask the third brother to inquire about it.

Thinking of this, Xuan Huaifeng said to Lihua: "Don't worry, I am responsible for this matter, and I will not stand by. Let me inquire about the news first, and when it is confirmed, I will see if there is any way to help her. "

Lihua was also very happy and said, "If this is the case, I can count as helping to do a good deed."

At this time, the pain in her ankle also subsided a lot, so she said she wanted to go back to Shuyange.

Xuan Huaifeng asked, "Do you want me to call a car to take you back?"

Lihua quickly waved her hands: "Don't forget, I am a person who should not appear in the office now. If I call the car, won't everyone know? No, just let me go out quietly by myself. Hire a rickshaw and leave without a sound."

Xuan Huaifeng became an accomplice in the cover for no reason, and he also found it funny.

I had no choice but to help Lihua to the door and open the door for her.

Lihua wrote a small note, looked at him affectionately, and said in a low voice: "If you rescue Xiao Feiyan, give me a letter of approval, and I will be happy for her too. Shu Yange also has a phone , Write the number here, don’t take it seriously and lose it.”

Putting the note in Xuan Huaifeng's jacket pocket, he bit his lower lip and smiled.

Only then did he step out of the door of the adjutant's room, leaning on the wall and walking slowly.

After Xuan Huaifeng let Lihua go, he thought for a while in the adjutant's room.

The last time I saw the third brother, Xuan Huaifeng wrote him the number of the Bai residence, but he left in such a hurry that he didn't remember to ask the third brother for the number.

If I knew it earlier, I should have a way to contact you.

It's all right now, I need to find my third brother for something, but I can't for a while.

But since Lihua said, there are a lot of Guangdong soldiers in the city recently, so it probably won't be too difficult to find. Xuan Huaimin is now the commander's adjutant anyway, so he should be able to find it by just asking.

If Adjutant Sun is free, I can entrust this matter to him.

Thinking of this, Xuan Huaifeng simply left the adjutant's office and went upstairs to the chief's office.

Raising his hand, he knocked on the door twice, and the door suddenly opened from the inside.

Bai Xuelan was standing in front of the door, holding his arm, leading him into the office, and asking: "Where did you go shopping? It took so long. If I don't come back, I will find someone myself."

Xuan Huaifeng said, "I was waiting for Adjutant Sun in the adjutant's room, but he never came down."

"Him? I asked him to go outside to do some business."

"No wonder."

Xuan Huaifeng originally wanted to ask Adjutant Sun for help in private, but now he can only keep quiet for the time being.

Bai Xuelan asked Xuan Huaifeng to sit on his chair, and brought him a cup of half-warm tea: "Drink some."

Seeing that he didn't avoid suspicion, Xuan Huaifeng directly took his own cup to share, but he was a little shy, and he didn't like his kindness, so he bowed his head and took a sip.

Bai Xuelan watched him drinking tea with a smile, raised her hand, stroked the strands of short black hair on his forehead, and asked, "Have you looked everywhere? Did you see anything interesting?"

Just as Xuan Huaifeng wanted to open his mouth to talk about Xiao Feiyan, he suddenly remembered the earth-shattering jealousy of this person.

To talk about Xiao Feiyan, we must first explain the encounter with Lihua.

If the meeting is explained, I am afraid that the part where the two of the adjutants are alone will require an explanation.

Such one after another explanations may be nothing to others, but to Bai Xuelan, they do not know how many strange suspicions can arise.

The more Xuan Huaifeng thought about it, the more he felt that it was inappropriate to speak, and he said perfunctorily, "It's almost the same, I can't see anything for a while."

After a pause, he added: "However, to prevent problems before they happen, I think some rules in each department should be reiterated. What can and cannot be done in the office must be clearly explained. In case someone comes to the office, Always busy with personal things."

Bai Xuelan smiled evilly, and asked: "You guessed my heart, you know that I plan to do some private things with you in this office?"

Xuan Huaifeng didn't expect him to say such a lie suddenly, he was caught off guard, and his ears were red.

Bai Xuelan tilted her body, sat halfway on the desk, and looked down at him: "Don't be afraid, if you guess my heart, I can naturally guess yours too. This is really a match made in heaven."

Xuan Huaifeng was told too much by his frivolous words, so he couldn't bear it all the time, and asked in resistance: "What do you think of me? What do I want for you to guess?"

Bai Xuelan said: "You think in your heart that we should do private affairs after dinner. If we do it now, it's neither the occasion nor the time, right?" She smiled amusedly.

Of course Xuan Huaifeng understood what those "private affairs" after dinner were. It turned out that Bai Xuelan never forgot.

It was like waiting for the hour to come.

After dinner, I still don't know how this man will become lawless.

The more I think about it, the more hot and itchy air rises from my neck.

He shrunk his neck suddenly, it turned out that Bai Xuelan had wrapped her hands behind her and was gently scratching the base of his neck like a cat.

Xuan Huaifeng knocked off his unscrupulous hand, and gave him a look: "Stop making trouble, you are still the chief, and you are in the office, and you don't know how to lead by example. It turns out that your subordinates are all learners. set your example."

Bai Xuelan snorted arrogantly: "It is a blessing for the country that someone can learn from my example."

Xuan Huaifeng said: "Stop bragging, and do some real things seriously. By the way, when will the documents to be approved today be delivered? I should also do the things I have to do first."

While talking, the phone on the desk rang.

Bai Xuelan sat at the table side by side, stretched out her long arms, grabbed the microphone deftly, and said "Hello" in an old-fashioned way.

Seeing that he had business to do, Xuan Huaifeng quickly stood up, gave him the chair, looked at the teacup again, unknowingly drank to the bottom just now, and simply went to the door to find a thermos bottle and a tea jar from the public house , made another cup.

Returning to the office with a half-full glass in hand, he opened the door and looked up inadvertently, a gloomy and cold look on Bai Xuelan's face flashed across his eyes like lightning.

The biting cold sent hairs down the spine.

But only a glimpse.

In a blink of an eye, it all disappeared without a trace.

Xuan Huaifeng was secretly surprised, put the cup on the table, and asked him, "What's wrong?"

Bai Xuelan hung up the microphone and said flatly, "It's nothing serious."

Picking up Xuan Huaifeng's freshly brewed tea, he lowered his head and blew it, took a sip along the rim of the cup, gritted his teeth and sneered.

I don't know what I'm thinking about.
