Big Dream Chase

Liang Zhen asked: How about trying Leng Peijiu?

At first, He Chen refused. "Try it", there is suspicion and suspicion.The two had a heart-to-heart talk before, and since he had promised to trust Leng Peijiu, there was no reason to reverse the case again.

Gong Li'an knew that He Chen was hesitant, but he didn't know the reason.Liang and Gong talked a lot, but finally persuaded He Chen to "explore" Leng Peijiu.

After all, this is a party-state matter, and we have to guard against it.

He Chen slept in Leng Peijiu's room that night, and it was rare for the two of them to lie quietly together.Do nothing but look at the other person and say a few words.

He Chen hugged Leng Peijiu into his arms, and the incense in the room made him feel dizzy.He hesitated and opened his mouth, not at all like a general on the battlefield.

"Xiao Jiu, the day after tomorrow, Lao Liang and Lao Gong invited us to drink tea, you go with me."

Leng Peijiu nestled in He Chen's arms, rubbing her cheek against the other's chest from time to time, like a lazy cat: "Peijiu doesn't want to go, you soldiers get together, I'm listening to the topic of conversation again I don’t understand, what’s the point.”

"Just be with me."

"Commander's words are even more meaningless," Leng Peijiu pouted, "Peijiu is at home every day, but the time we spend together can be counted on the fingers of your fingers. It's hard to meet each other. Tell me, how many times have you recently met?" I accompany you? I think He Yu spends more time by your side than me, you just let him accompany you. What do you need me for?"

He Chen stretched out his hand and grabbed Leng Peijiu's waist, raised his eyelids and said coolly: "Such a big resentment, talk to you carefully, why are you talking about He Yu. You two are different."

"It's not the same. Adjutant He is the person who has been with you through life and death. What about me? The army commander is happy today and holds me in his palm. If he doesn't like it tomorrow, who knows what will happen."

"Tsk," He Chen didn't like it, he frowned and said, "I've been called so heartless by you, damn it, look at what you're wearing, what you're eating, and what kind of appearance you're wearing! Complain here?"

Leng Peijiu knew that this topic was boring, so she just kept silent.The incense pills burned, and the fragrance permeated the room.The lightened cigarette made the atmosphere somewhat ambiguous.

After a while, Leng Peijiu whispered, "Commander, you know what Peijiu wants."

He Chen understood that what Xiao Jiu wanted was exactly what he couldn't give, and he couldn't afford to give it.For some reason, he felt a soreness in his heart, and quickly suppressed the inexplicable emotion.He should be naked until the day of the war, and he should be free to come and go without any worries.

He Chen said: "Xiao Jiu, don't mention it again in the future."

"……Yes."

Leng Peijiu lowered her eyes, her heart was mostly cold.Under the lamp, his skin was like white enamel coated with golden light.Like a beautiful and fragile porcelain doll, her lips are like pulp, plump and rosy.

He Chen's heart trembled when he saw it, and he couldn't help but bow his head and kiss her.He held the back of Leng Peijiu's head in his big hand, kissing him deeper and deeper.Leng Peijiu had difficulty breathing and felt weak all over.Since the first kiss last time, He Chen liked to taste these lips more and more.This small mouth tastes as good as the one below.

The two kissed for a while before He Chen let go of Leng Peijiu and said, "Xiao Jiu, be obedient."

Leng Peijiu knew that objection was useless, so she might as well be obedient.

"Okay, Commander."

This day will come soon.

If you want to talk about "eating tea", you can talk about this "tea" first.

Tea, of course, is a Chinese product.Pick early for tea and late for tea.There have been many tea lovers since ancient times, and the Jin Dynasty was the heyday of teahouses and restaurants.It is said that the more chaotic the world is and the worse the economy is, the better the business of the teahouse will be.

It is probably because the money for tea is cheap, and you can sit in a teahouse for half a day without spending much money.It's really a good place to meet friends with tea, complain, and kill time.

But in Shanghai, Shanghai during the Republic of China, the situation seems to be somewhat different.Although there are many teahouses, such as Qinglian Pavilion, Yiletian, Tongyuchun and so on.There are also many densely populated teahouses on water and land piers and traffic arteries.

There are a lot of people here, and there are miscellaneous places in all directions.Except for the rich and leisurely middle-class residents, and the old tea drinkers in the teahouse all year round, most of the other customers go to the teahouse to settle disputes.

What's wrong?

Throughout the ages, no matter whether it is Chinese or foreign, there are right and wrong, and there are no such types.First, we should talk about literature and martial arts, eat and talk about tea, arbitrate right and wrong, kindness and resentment.Second, they eloped, kidnapped and negotiated, women ran away with men, and most of them met here.

Third, right and wrong are not counted as right and wrong—the meddlesome, the bored, to pass the time, either to watch the excitement, or to gossip.Not to mention how boring it is.

At that time, more than half of the teahouses in Shanghai were dedicated to these types of people.Without their support, it probably wouldn't be possible.And the ones in the Town God's Temple, or some small teahouses near the living area and the vegetable market, these places are the real tea shops.

Once you go in, the atmosphere is nice.Those who chatted, those who closed their eyes and meditated, and those who read newspapers with "Shenbao" and "Good Friends" in their hands, there were all kinds of people in one room.

The development of Shanghai's tea culture to a peak is really inversely proportional to the country's weak economy and fragmented national conditions.

Coincidentally, on the same day, Su Muyu and Lian Ming happened to be free.The two had long wanted to go to the Yu Garden behind the Town God's Temple to have afternoon tea, which is called the "Old Man's Garden" by foreigners.

Yang Guangfu's "Songnan Yuefu" once chanted: "Songnan is good, the ruins are gray and red, the temples are renewed, and the Yu Garden is still exquisite, and Pan Gong is drinking wine."

There is also Zhang Chunhua singing the pavilion in the center of the lake: "The lake is shining brightly, the blue sky is shining, the lotus pond is in summer, and the Yuyuan Garden is disappearing, and the green stems are shaking green, and the road passes through the Jiuqu Bridge."

The beauty of the Huxin Pavilion does not need to be described, it can be seen from just a few lines of poems.Nine zigzag corridors, red lotus planted in the pool, water and wind send ripples, and purple dyes the glow.Red windows, brown tiles, golden bamboo mats, young masters and young ladies in red and green shirts, and all kinds of people's livelihood are reflected on the emerald green lake.

Su Muyu and Lian Ming had nothing urgent to do, got out of the car in front of the Town God's Temple, and walked back unsteadily.There are quite a lot of businessmen along the way, and there are also some emaciated beggars or working people.Who benefits from the war and who suffers in the end.

Su Muyu sighed, but Lian Ming suddenly patted him: "Ayu, look over there, there is a person just passing by."

"Who is it?" Su Muyu looked up and followed Lian Ming's fingers, "No one."

"Passing by, the speed is too fast. I look familiar."

"In this direction, go to Yu Garden?"

Lian Ming thought for a moment: "It should be, I see the back is quite familiar."

Although Lian Ming didn't name them, but here, the two of them can be regarded as "familiar" people, and there may really be only one person.

Su Muyu asked: "See clearly?"

Lian Ming said: "I'm not sure, I just feel like... Do you think..."

"Nine times out of ten, at this point..." Su Muyu looked down at the time, "Maybe go to have afternoon tea, maybe He Chen is there too."

"But I feel something is wrong." Lian Ming touched his chin, put one hand in his suit trousers pocket, and walked very handsomely.

Su Muyu also wore a coat and a suit today, and the two most modern young masters walked together, no matter how you look at it... a couple.

"What's wrong?" Su Muyu asked.His eyes fell on the food stalls on the street. Not long after lunch, he bought another pancake to start with.

"Eat less, the streets are not clean," Lian Ming frowned, "Eat less for lunch, and eat snacks when you are hungry. Putting the cart before the horse is not good for your health."

"Yes, yes, yes, I understand, even Auntie!" Su Muyu took a bite of the pancake, his lips were shiny, very attractive, "Tell me what you think is wrong."

Lian Ming sighed, took out a handkerchief from his jacket pocket, and helped Su Muyu wipe off the grease from the corner of his mouth, saying, "How could He Chen let Leng Peijiu walk, or be alone."

Su Muyu paused, and slowed down his chewing.They walked a few steps, and Boss Su finally swallowed the pie: "It's 100% that person, ouch, this time really bothered me."

"As for me, I like Boss Leng very much. I also have some sympathy for the other person."

"What's wrong with living, why do you want to live like others."

Lian Ming took back his handkerchief and didn't answer the call.In this regard, he is noncommittal.

Walking to Yu Garden, there are more people doing business around.Teahouses all over Shanghai have a huge daily flow of people, most of whom are regular customers.Those who read newspapers and eat snacks in teahouses talked about the realization of Tuibeitu, and said that those foreigners fought wars.

There are also some different types of customers, such as the old tea drinkers in the Town God's Temple, most of whom are interested in antiques, listening to books, raising birds, and there are special maids to entertain them.

The surrounding sideline businesses are also developed, like the food stalls where Su Muyu bought pancakes just now can be seen everywhere, and at the same time, those who sell fake antiques, tell fortunes, sell tabloid cigarettes, and sell candy have also been added.

Look, how is such a scene different today?

History is probably such a reincarnation, and trends are also full of reincarnation.

The two of Su Lian entered the back garden of the Town God's Temple, and simply went to the "Jiuqu Bridge Huxin Pavilion".The reason is simple, young people love to go to "Chunfeng Deyi Building".They wore shiny leather shoes, combed their heads with oily hair, and stepped on the bright and transparent glass stairs, just to be arty.

Listen to books on the second floor, talk about the world in the elegant room on the third floor, set up kang couches and rattan chairs, with Chinese musical instruments, and beautiful scenery from high places.

Young masters, young ladies, and young ladies gathered together, and bursts of golden powder fragrance, which is particularly flavorful.

As for the Huxin Pavilion, there are more old tea drinkers. They even bring their own teapots regardless of the weather.What Su Muyu wants is this kind of atmosphere, close to life and blending into the common people.Listening to what they are talking about and what they are worrying about, you can often see the most real and naked China from the grassroots.

At this time, most of the people are in danger, regardless of state affairs.Since some people don't care about it, there are naturally some people who talk about it.But no matter what, at this time, the prosperous and peaceful Shanghai has not yet smelled danger.

These people who are leisurely eating afternoon tea are still enjoying the last piece of peace in this world.They are determined not to know what kind of earth-shaking Abi Purgatory will be brought about in just two short years.

Su Muyu and Lian Ming sat down, and they didn't talk to each other. They took newspapers and foreign materials and looked down.Lian Ming brought a lesson plan and planned to prepare lessons here.

Boss Su was a little bored, he was lazily leaning on the railing, just standing, he was already very beautiful.

Su Muyu's eyes swept over the Jiuqu Bridge. Someone was carrying a birdcage, and the cute canaries were chirping; there was a lady in luxurious clothes who came to feed the koi; Taking pictures with the camera; vendors pushing snacks around to sell.....

He sighed: "It's really leisurely..."

After a while, Su Muyu saw two familiar figures in the crowd—couldn't they be He Chen and Leng Peijiu!Could it be that Lian Ming was really wrong just now?

What's the matter with them coming to the back garden at this time?

Su Muyu called Lian Ming, and the two supported the railing.

"It's going to Deyi Building." Lian Ming said, "The purpose is not pure."

"I also think that when will He Chen have to call Boss Leng on business?"

"Come here for business, what kind of 'official' can it be? I'm afraid it's a big gathering of mole rats." Lian Ming said flatly.

When Su Muyu heard it, he immediately understood.He Chen doesn't believe Leng Peijiu?How did you find out?Has the investigation come out, or has something been revealed?

He stared at it for a while, and finally withdrew his eyes: "I'm afraid something will happen soon."

The sun, which was still bright at noon, hid in the clouds at this time.A dark cloud blowing from an unknown direction immediately occupied one part of the sky.The wind was blowing everywhere, and the tea drinkers sitting downstairs muttered about the changeable weather.

Many people put away their chairs and entered the teahouse.The room was noisy for a while, and the crowd was bustling.

Lian Ming grabbed Su Muyu's shoulder and sat back at the table.

He glanced at the clouds outside like splashed ink, and his deep eyes seemed to flash a torrential rain.

"The mountains and the rain are about to come and the wind will fill the building..."
