Essie stayed away from Aunt Twelve and felt that she was a good material. If she writes novels in the future, she could consider writing a heroine like this.

Just when she was feeling better, an unusually disturbing voice suddenly came from the front, Cousin, cousin is here to see you!

Essie: ...

It had been quiet for several days, and Ai Xi had almost forgotten this person...

Jia Renlu was dressed very modernly today, wearing a snow-white shirt on his upper body, but unfortunately it was a bit transparent. He was wearing a pair of black trousers, but they were a little too tight. I finally got bangs on my head, but unfortunately they were a little oily. The breeze blew across his face, and his bangs did not move at all. Jia Renlu shook his head and felt that he was extremely cool and said to Ai Xi: Cousin, I heard that you are not engaged. My cousin is really happy for you. This is a real choice and a wise choice. .

...

Essie took a step back and took a deep breath, as if she could smell the smell of oil filling her lungs. She covered her chest and said, What about my cousin? I won't talk to you if I have something else to do. My dad is at home. You go find him.

Jia Renlu frowned, and Ai Qian realized that things were not that simple. Sure enough, I heard him say: Cousin, tell me if you have something to do. I drove here today. I will send you to do whatever you have to do.

Essie numbed her paws, I just want to go shopping.

Also, I also like to go shopping. Jia Renlu said: I just happen to be running out of cream.

Elsie: Your cream?

Huh? Jia Renlu stared, Is there any problem?

Oh... no problem. Elsie's uncomfortable hands didn't know where to grab it, I didn't want to buy cream, I just need a little... perfume.

Great. Jia Renlu said, My perfume is about to run out.

Essie: ...No, I...

Cousin. Jia Renlu stamped his foot, Do you have a problem with me if you try to refuse like this?

No, no, no, that's absolutely not possible...

If not, then let's go. Jia Renlu pulled Ai Qian out. This is a new Ford I bought. It's very comfortable to sit in. It's much more comfortable than a rickshaw.

Ai Qian was pulled into the car by him. She thought clearly that her father was Bai Yuan, and even if Jia Renlu had a hundred courages, he would not dare to do anything to her. After thinking about it clearly, Ai Xi felt much more comfortable. This car was indeed more comfortable than a rickshaw.

Jia Renlu took Aiqi to the largest cosmetics store in the city first. The counter lady said to Jia Renlu enthusiastically: Sir, are you here to take the lady to buy cosmetics? The new products in our store are particularly delicate when applied on the face. …”

Let's not look at the cosmetics for now. We want to see the cream. Jia Renlu said.

Oh, okay. The lady at the counter said again: The latest cream has an improved formula, which is more suitable for women than the previous one. When you touch it, the skin on your face will be white and rosy...

Is it just suitable for ladies? Jia Renlu took a bottle of cream and played with it in his hand. Is it effective for men?

The counter lady's expression froze, ...for men?

As she spoke, she looked at Essie with incredible eyes. Essie put a hand on her forehead and covered half of her face.

Can't men use it? Jia Renlu squinted his eyes and looked at the counter lady dangerously.

No, no, it can be used. The lady at the counter has also experienced strong winds and waves. How could this kind of situation faze her? She said politely: Seeing that you are such a refined and tasteful gentleman, the cream is perfect for you. How much do you want?

Buy two bottles first to try the effect. Jia Renlu suddenly came closer and said, Is this whitening?

...whitening. The lady at the counter said extremely seriously: The whitening effect is very good. Why don't you take a look at our product? It is very delicate when you touch it on your face, and it covers blemishes. After you touch it, you will feel like you are already like this. As white as white.”

Essie stood aside stiffly, as if she were an unconscious pillar.

Lu Ange found the maid of the twelfth concubine, bribed her with money, and asked her about what the twelfth concubine had said to Ai Xi recently. The maid was originally very dissatisfied with the nervous twelfth aunt, so after receiving the money, she told Lu Ange everything she knew and didn't know, relevant and irrelevant.

Lu Ange learned that his twelfth aunt actually accused him and Luan Hong of being bribed. He was angry and at the same time thinking, how can he make Xunmei believe that he and Luan Hong really have nothing to do with each other?

He went to the Tibetan Flower Class and found Luan Hong. Lu Ange came to the Hidden Flower Class very frequently recently, but Luan Hong was not very happy every time.

Sure enough, it was the same this time.

Lu Ange found Luan Hong and wanted Luan Hong to explain to Ai Qian with him that there was nothing between them.

Luan Hongxin said that the problem didn't lie here at all. Bai Xunmei wanted to leave you because she knew about the hatred between you and the Bai family. Even if I went with you to explain, it wouldn't help. She laughed dryly and said, Is this too deliberate? It would be bad if she thinks that the two of us colluded to deceive her.

Lu Ange said: Then what should I do? I can't even see her now.

Luan Hong felt pain in her heart, and she said: Do you really like Bai Xunmei so much? Can you give up hatred for her? I think you should think more clearly, in case you regret and suffer in the future.

Although she has selfish motives, she hopes Lu Ange can like her. But if he really didn't like her, there was nothing she could do about it. She said this for Lu Ange's sake. After all, in her mind, it was impossible for a filial person like Lu Ange to let go of the hatred between his parents. If he was with Bai Xunmei and his lover was the daughter of his enemy, he would never be happy.

Lu Ange felt that Luan Hong didn't want to help. He also understood that for an idealistic and noble woman like Luan Hong, it was normal for her to be unwilling to do such a thing. He and Luan Hong are friends, and he shouldn't embarrass his friends. Since Luan Hong didn't want it, he couldn't embarrass her anymore, so he nodded and said, Then I'll think about it again.

Luan Hong breathed a sigh of relief, she was afraid that Lu Ange would get into trouble regardless of her. She said: You must have been so upset lately that you haven't eaten well. The Lao Li Beef Noodles you used to like has opened again. Do you want to go and have a bowl of noodles together?

Thinking of that taste, Lu Ange really missed it. After the noodle shop closed, he thought he would never be able to taste that taste again. When he became interested, he nodded and said, Okay. It was just a good opportunity to relax. He had been too tense recently.

Ai Qian stood in the cosmetics store and watched the lady at the counter applying smear on Jia Renlu's face. After wiping it off, the lady at the counter put a mirror in front of Jia Renlu and said, Sir, look at it, is it a lot whiter?

It's true. Jia Renlu said happily: I have never been so white.

He turned to Elsie and said, Cousin, am I much whiter like this? Much more handsome?

Essie really couldn't stand a man, especially a black man, with his face painted like this. In the words of the book, it looked like frost on an egg of donkey dung. She said tactfully: Cousin, what are you doing for nothing?

The counter lady knew something bad was going on as soon as she heard this, and the business would probably not be successful. Jia Renlu said sadly: I have been black since I was a child. When I was in school, the little girls liked those fair faces. One white face covers three ugliness. Even if I am white, I can attract little girls.

The corners of Essie's mouth twitched and she said: One white color covers three ugliness. Only ugly people need white color to cover up their ugliness. You are not ugly, so what does it matter whether you are white or not?

Jia Renlu felt that he had never heard anything so agreeable in his life. If his cousin hadn't come from the sincerity, how could he have said such a high-level statement? He looked at Essie, his eyes full of infinite tenderness, Cousin, you are so kind. Just tell me what you like and I will buy you all the watches.

Essie breathed a sigh of relief, finally no longer having to endure the visual torture.

Then she heard Jia Renlu say: You want to buy perfume, right? Do they sell perfume here?

Sell it! the lady at the counter said, Authentic French perfume, you can't buy it anywhere else.

Great. Jia Renlu said: Is there any perfume suitable for men?

Essie: ...

She was about to persuade Jia Renlu to forget it, when suddenly she caught sight of Lu Ange and Luan Hong walking side by side from the corner of her eye. The two of them had a good atmosphere as they said this. Ai Xi quickly turned her back to them. Originally she thought Lu Ange had fallen in love with her, but now it seemed that he still liked the heroine. The heroine is so good, it is destined that he likes her.

Ai Qian said in her heart that not getting engaged was indeed the right choice.

Jia Renlu suddenly approached Ai Qian, and Ai Qian was startled, What are you doing?

Jia Renlu said: Cousin, please smell it, is this rose-scented perfume suitable for me?

As he said that, he sprayed twice on Essie, and Essie said, Ah, cut! Ah, cut! Ah - cut!

The current policy of the Revolutionary Party is to unite all warlords who can unite to form a new government, and fight until those who are unwilling are willing. Bai Yuan felt that this was beneficial to him, so as a warlord who participated in early revolutionary activities, he took the title of Commander-in-Chief.

Although this title is not that powerful yet, he thinks that with the development of the revolutionary movement, he will become a well-deserved commander-in-chief sooner or later. Ai Qian was frightened a lot by Jia Renlu, and when she came back, she heard that Bai Yuan was going to fight.

The main job of warlords in this era was to fight, and Essie wasn't too worried. A guy like Bai Yuan wouldn't personally go to the battlefield with a gun, and he would be the first to run away if he couldn't be defeated. Ai Xi even hoped that Bai Yuan would lose the war, and it would be best if the warlord could no longer continue, so that she could convince Bai Yuan to take her and the money to the United States and escape from all the dangers here.

So Essie was very supportive. She said, Dad, I don't have any expectations for you anymore. I just want you to come back alive.

... Bai Yuan struggled: Although I know you care about me, I always feel that these words are weird.

Ai Xi said: Dad, since you are leaving, then give me more money.

What do you want money for? How much do you want?

Essie thought for a moment and said, Gold bars, can I have ten boxes of gold bars? I need to prepare money for the trip.

Bai Yuan's face darkened, You should sell your father.

In the end, Essie only got ten large gold bars. Although many people have never seen so much money in their lives, Essie still found it too little. She and Bai Yuan were both people who were used to enjoying themselves. After they went abroad and there were many places to spend money, these ten gold bars would definitely not be enough.

After Essie went back, she said to Xiaoxing: Take out all my jewelry.

Little

Xiaoxing said: Miss, why do you need so many gold bars?

In this era of war, gold bars are the common currency, and foreign countries are all on the gold standard. Only gold is stable wealth. Essie blinked and said, I don't know if housing prices abroad are expensive?

She was settling accounts when Lu Ange's voice came from outside, Xunmei, come out for a moment. I have something to say to you.

Ai Xi was stunned for a moment, and then said to Xiao Xing: Go, tell him that I just came back and am so tired that I fell asleep now, and let him talk to me tomorrow if he has anything to do.

Oh, oh. Xiaoxing nodded and ran out, Mr. Lu, Miss, she came back after being dragged out by her young cousin to go shopping. Now she has fallen asleep from exhaustion.

Lu Ange said: Then you go call her and I will say a few words.

Xiaoxing said: As you know, young lady cannot be disturbed when she is in poor health. Please be considerate of me and come back tomorrow if you need anything.

After saying that, Xiaoxing hurried back. Lu Ange took a step forward, but stopped. He touched the photo in his hand, which was the photo taken by Essie that day. The photo was beautiful, and he wanted to give it to her himself.
