The Sick Beauty in the Republic of China

"You didn't see anything?" Qi Chensheng didn't intend to listen to the argument between the two brothers, but just looked at Yao Jifeng coldly and repeated his words.

Yao Jifeng seemed to grit his teeth, Wang Luan saw that he didn't mean to tell the truth, so he wanted to speak, but Qi Chensheng held his hand unexpectedly.

Wang Luan turned his head to look suspiciously, but seeing Qi Chensheng's attitude of denial, he had lost patience, as if giving an ultimatum: "You really didn't see anything?"

"...Yes." Yao Jifeng's eyes flickered, and his tone weakened.

"Tap, tap, tap—" Wang Luan heard the gentleman's stick in Qi Chensheng's hand hitting the ground again. In fact, he was also a little puzzled. It stands to reason that the second shopkeeper who can really support Tianjinfang is not a weak and timid person. people, but why doesn't he say it?

"Tap—" There was another sound, Qi Chensheng no longer looked at Yao Jifeng, but directly pointed at Yao Jihui with his cane, and said in a deep voice: "If he doesn't say anything, you can say it for him."

Yao Jihui was trembling all over, looking at his second brother, but he really didn't dare to disobey Qi Chensheng's intentions, so he apologized and said with a smile: "Second Young Master Qi, don't blame it, don't blame it, it's really too unbelievable that Jifeng can't explain it clearly... ..."

Qi Chensheng squinted at the past, and Yao Jihui swallowed the extra words with all his strength, and said after deliberation: "Jifeng, he is a person who has been abroad, and he talks about those gods and gods, so he--just took advantage of the gate of hell to open it." That night, I went to drink in the restaurant by Yunshui."

"Then," Yao Jihui said to himself when his second brother was so frightened that he lost his soul, "then he saw with his own eyes that Miss Suxi was dragged into the river by a paper figurine."

Wang Luan listened quietly, Yao Jihui's rhetoric seemed to make sense.But he still turned his eyes and looked at Yao Jifeng again: "Why did the second shopkeeper choose that day to drink, because he wanted to see the paper carts and paper horses?"

Yao Jifeng didn't answer, the eyes behind the gold-rimmed glasses dodged helplessly, but before he could speak, Wang Luan gave him the answer: "No."

"But, what is it for?" Wang Luan's words did not have much momentum compared to Qi Chensheng's, and even had faint coughing and panting.

But Yao Jifeng had no choice but to raise his head, and in an instant, it seemed like golden sand was sprinkled in his sight.

He opened his eyes wide in surprise, and the long stretch of golden sand disappeared, only a white figure stood in front of him.

Although the face was only hazy and not real, Yao Jifeng still knew who the person standing in front of him was.

She seemed to be still wearing a plain dress, and her long hair was sometimes loose and sometimes braided. It was rare for her to stay away from the noisy loom and look at herself quietly.Then she spoke mistyly, and asked a question similar to Wang Luan's: "Why do you have to drink that night?"

"Why?" Yao Jifeng seemed to have forgotten something, and he was unwilling to answer any questions. He just looked at the person he hadn't seen in more than ten years and muttered.

His voice was very low at first, and then became heavier each time, no longer talking to himself, but more like a menacing question: "Why, why!"

"You still ask me why?"

His eyes were foggy, but his expression was real and excited. He poured out the resentment accumulated in his heart for more than ten years: "Since you wanted to leave back then, now you're going to worry about what I do!"

After speaking, he stretched out his hand, wanting to grab the hand of the person in front of him fiercely, but in an instant, the figure once again covered the golden sand, and then scattered down like thousands of pieces of golden broken feathers, condensing into a real look like.

There is no woman in plain clothes in front of me, only Wang Luan who is standing by the window sill facing the sun, lowering his beautiful eyes like a bird, hiding the broken gold and sighing.

And Yao Jifeng's outstretched hand has been ruthlessly blocked by the slender and cold gentleman's staff, and the back of his hand seems to still have the burning pain after being whipped.

The scene seemed to freeze. In the eyes of others, they didn't see any golden sands and golden feathers, or any women in plain clothes. It's just that Yao Jifeng suddenly went crazy and wanted to attack Wang Luan, but was woken up violently by Qi Ershao up.

But for Yao Jifeng, he figured out what was going on very quickly, knowing that he had completely leaked.Dejectedly, he withdrew his hand and took off his golden eyes: "I...I can say anything."

Wang Luan glanced at Qi Chensheng, who immediately retracted his cane, but still hugged him possessively.

Fortunately, such a posture is not in the way, Wang Luan sighed and smiled, and then listened to Yao Jifeng's narration.

Compared with the previous legends about paper carts and paper horses, the story between Yao Jifeng and Su Xi is much simpler.

It is nothing more than the young master who returned home from overseas and fell in love with his weaver. The two were in love, but the weaver told him that she had already been engaged to someone else and was going to leave the weaver to get married. .

That day coincided with the closing of the ghost gate. Yao Jifeng hated Su Xi for playing with his feelings, so he ran to the restaurant regardless. The store refused to do business on that day, so he insisted on spending a lot of money to get drunk here. Now comes the scene where Su Xi is dragged into the water by the paper figurine.

He was terrified at that time, and after spending the night in the restaurant, he went home in a daze and told his eldest brother. After all these years, he kept telling himself that this was Su Xi's own retribution, and kept all those fears and hatred in his heart .

The more Wang Luan listened, the more confused he felt, and he couldn't help asking: "You never doubted whether Su Xi really had a marriage contract back then, or—"

After all, thinking about it, the Yao family would not be willing to let Yao Jifeng get involved with a weaver.

Unexpectedly, Yao Jifeng shook his head, and said with certainty: "Of course I suspected it, and I even sent someone to investigate. She, she does have a marriage contract with someone."

"The man's name is Cheng Gang. He was working as a clerk in the Lujibu shop on the street back then. He also admitted it himself... After Suxi's death, he became the son-in-law of Lu's family, and he is still in the shop now!"

Wang Luan couldn't help frowning, Cheng Gang, another character who appeared suddenly.

"That's all?" In view of Yao Jifeng's concealment before, Qi Chensheng didn't show any kindness to him, and only forced him to say more.

But after the hallucination just now, Yao Jifeng completely recognized it, and said with a wry smile: "Second Young Master Qi, this time I really told you everything... There is nothing else."

Qi Chensheng's gray eyes froze, and his seemingly lifeless eyes fell on Yao Jifeng. Yao Jifeng felt that there was no relaxation in his body, but he still held on this time: "There is really nothing else."

Seeing this, Wang Luan gently tugged on Qi Chensheng's sleeve. Qi Chensheng looked down at him, then retracted the gentleman's stick in his hand, and said to Yao Jifeng lightly: "I don't trust you very much, let's just leave it this time. If there is anything else, I will definitely come to the door to find it."

Yao Jifeng finally breathed a sigh of relief, but Yao Jihui saw that the matter was coming to an end, so he hurriedly interjected and asked, "Then, what about Er Shao Qi, my third brother..."

"Like I said, this matter is related to that ghost. First find out about that ghost and god, and the rest will naturally be answered." Mentioning Yao Jiguang, Qi Chensheng's voice became cold again.

Wang Luan also glanced at the Sanwei sisters who had retreated to the corner, and turned to smile warmly at Yao Jihui, seeming to persuade him intimately: "The business of Tianjinfang is booming, and the shopkeeper needs to pay more attention to the affairs in the workshop. Take care."

"If it's the same as before, I'm afraid there will be new funerals..."

Yao Jihui almost didn't come up in one breath, how could anyone say such irritating words in such a gentle tone.Only then did he realize that he seemed to be underestimating the good-looking person in front of him, but he kept coughing and wheezing.

He usually doesn't care much about the affairs inside the workshop, and rarely hears the rumors outside the workshop. Even the matter of Qi Ershao's request for materials yesterday was handled by the subordinates, so naturally he doesn't know about Wang Luan's affairs. .

After all, he has been flattered by others for so many years, Qi Chensheng just bullied him, but Yao Jihui couldn't bear to be humiliated face to face by such an unknown person, so he couldn't help but lower his voice: "Thank you, sir, for reminding me, I don't know what to do. How to call it?"

How to call it?Wang Luan slightly raised his eyes and looked at Qi Chensheng, it was a rare thing for him to agree to that address.

"This is my wife." Qi Chensheng clasped Wang Luan's waist tightly, and then said coldly to Yao Jihui: "The shopkeeper will call him the second young lady in the future."

After speaking, he took Wang Luan in his arms and walked out of the room.

Zhang Fengliang and others said that there were important matters in the police station, and they also left Yao's house.

It was only early in the morning when the news of Yao Jiguang's death came, but now that he was delayed in Tianjinfang for a long time, it happened to be just in time for noon.

Since the beginning of summer, Wang Luan has rarely gone out. Now that he came out for the first time, looking at the bustling scene outside the car window, he didn't want to go back so quickly.

After the two got in the car, they crossed the bridge to the south and came to the previous street. The first thing they saw was the restaurant where Yao Jifeng got drunk and was next to the Yunshui River.

Qi Chensheng noticed Wang Luan's gaze, seeing that he was still in good spirits today, so he proposed: "Brother Ninth, shall we go sit upstairs too?"

Wang Luan was slightly taken aback when he heard this, then coughed lightly and said, "Why, Er Shao Qi is finally willing to let me stay outside today?"

Qi Chensheng hugged him into his arms again, and he became magnanimous on a rare occasion, and whispered in his ear: "The birds in cages should be let out naturally, otherwise it will be distressing if they get bored."

Such words with confinement desires, desires, are often said when the two of them are private, but... if they are spoken from other people's mouths, it will really change the taste.

On the second floor of Linshui Restaurant, Qi Chensheng felt that the outside was dirty, so he specially chose a small cubicle. Due to the summer ventilation, the store was not closed, but a bamboo mat was used to separate it from the individual customers outside.

It's cool to be so cool, but the movement outside can be heard clearly.

"Have you heard? The second young master of the Qi family locked a man in the eastern mansion!"
