Subversion of the plot [Comprehensive]
Chapter 56 "Half Life"
The Chinese people attach the most importance to the New Year. They start to make New Year’s goods from the beginning of the twelfth lunar month. They talk about the New Year’s celebrations in and out of the chat. No matter how busy the factories are, they have to have a three-day holiday, and the shops of all sizes are also closed.Tao Shuo's white paper store also followed the usual practice and put up a closed sign, and it didn't officially open until the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, after the God of Wealth.
On the night of New Year's Eve, Tao Shuobai stood on the edge of the window sill, looking up at the brilliant fireworks in the night sky, his ears were filled with the sound of festive firecrackers, and every family celebrated the festival, which made his place seem cold and lonely.
Originally, he had lived like this for thousands of years, so he didn't pay attention to the New Year's festival, a year's time passed by like a fleeting moment in his eyes, it was really nothing.Since taking this job, what I have seen is that ordinary people work at sunrise and rest at sunset, busy, short and full of interesting life.He remembered that in the last world during the New Year, Junshi was a prince, and he brought him steamed buns from six imperial kitchens... Well, to be precise, it was a reward from the emperor.
A slight smile flashed across his lips, and he took a drink from the wine in front of him.
After all, Tao Shuobai is not a mortal, he doesn't have the habit of eating dumplings and glutinous rice balls during the Chinese New Year, and he doesn't even prepare food, he just took a jar of peach blossom wine brewed in the previous small world.He also has a set of wine jugs and cups presented by Junshi. The jug is a heart-warming jug, and one jug holds two wines. It is also a rare treasure in the royal family. I don’t know how Junshi got it. The five wine cups are carved from white jade. , small and exquisite, the cup wall is thin and transparent, warm and moist, a set of wine utensils does not have complicated shapes or carvings, but it is elegant, noble, comfortable and warm, just looking at the materials used is already extraordinary.
Originally, Junshi said to use the luminous cup, but he thought the luminous cup was not good, because it was not as clean and bright as the white jade.Peach Blossom Wine is clear in color, like rouge in color, and has a mellow and sweet taste. It is not strong wine, but a kind of beauty and health-enhancing wine.Of course, the peach blossom wine that has been buried for nearly a hundred years is already extraordinary, with a strong taste and full staying power.The red wine is paired with white jade cups, which is particularly pleasing to the eye.
After sipping another glass of wine, Tao Shuobai raised his hand to calculate.
Very good, two months later there will be an excellent opportunity, this time the small world can bump into a Mei Ji is purely an unexpected harvest.Mei Ji's magic skills are mediocre, and her ability to escape is not as good as Wang Baochuan's encounter with Yang Qi, the evil ghost in the world.Tao Shuobai didn't dare to guarantee 100% to capture Mei Ji in one fell swoop, so he had to be prepared to deal with emergencies at any time.
In the first month, although the taste of the new year has not yet dissipated, all factories and schools have started school, and everyone is busy with work.
Shen Shijun also started to go to work early, because Gu Manzhen works in Yangshupu, and it is rare to see each other. The only time they can spend two days together is on weekends. As people in love, they always look forward to seeing each other and cannot bear to be separated.Well, maybe it's not quite accurate to say that they are passionately in love. The two of them are full of ambiguity, and they know each other well, but they never pierce the window paper.It's a rare weekend again, Shen Shijun has planned for a long time, and decided to express his heart to Gu Manzhen today.
Piansheng received a call in the morning that Fang Yipeng had come from Nanjing and invited him out for dinner.
Fang Yipeng is the younger brother of Shen Shijun's sister-in-law, and the two families are also very familiar with each other. It's just that they have grown up in recent years, and they don't get together in one place, and they rarely see each other.The other party called, and it was difficult to come to Shanghai again. Shen Shijun had to entertain him, so he could only temporarily postpone Yeo Manzhen's plan to come out.
The two met in the restaurant. During the dinner, Fang Yipeng suddenly mentioned something: "My family intends to match Cuizhi and me."
Shen Shijun was surprised, when he went back to Nanjing last October, those people still wanted to make him and Shi Cuizhi a pair.The Shi family, the Fang family, and even the Shen family are the same. They all pay attention to the right family when they meet their children, so the range of choices is naturally narrow, and there are only so many young people of the same generation, so Fang Yipeng and Shi Cuizhi may not be bad.
Naturally, Shijun wanted to say congratulations, but thinking of himself and Manzhen, he was even more eager to find out each other's feelings.
After seeing off Yipeng, Shijun returned to Xu's house, changed his clothes and prepared to go out.
"Shijun, is this a date?" Xu Shuhui joked when he saw that he was tidy and his expression was different from before.
Shijun just smiled, the matter between him and Manzhen is not really a secret, and Shuhui is his good friend, so he shouldn't keep it a secret, but firstly, the two of them haven't opened up yet, secondly, Shuhui sometimes speaks carelessly, He also didn't want to listen to Shuhui's guesswork.
Before leaving, Shijun said, "Yipeng came to Shanghai and said that he and Shi Cuizhi might get married."
The children of these families are like this. First, the elders introduced the blind date. As long as they met each other, they were almost engaged.
Shu Hui was taken aback: "Oh... this is a happy event, please say congratulations for me."
Shi Jun, who had left the house, didn't know that Xu Shuhui was bored after hearing the news, lying listlessly on the bed.Xu's mother saw that he didn't run out on weekends like he used to, and thought he was uncomfortable, and the other party ignored him when he spoke. Xu's mother was afraid that he had a cold, so she asked him to pour a glass of wine and drink to warm him before going to sleep.It turned out to be fine, when Xu's mother came over and came again, Xu Shuhui was already reeking of alcohol, and was about to drink up the bottle of medicinal wine brewed at home.
At this time, Shijun and Manzhen had just come out of the alley, walking aimlessly along the street.
"You said you were looking for something to do, did you find it? Is it convenient?"
Since the two met unexpectedly last year, they often looked for opportunities to meet each other. Manzhen told Shen Shijun everything about his family, including his sister Manlu.Manzhen didn't mean anything else, Gu Zhenzhen's words and actions before caused people to misunderstand deeply, even if Manzhen kept silent in the past, she was unwilling to use words to deceive others.Later, as the relationship deepened, Shijun knew more about Manzhen, and knew that she was gentle and strong, kind and enthusiastic, and she was a very good girl!The situation of the Gu family is naturally heavy. They used to rely on their elder sister Manlu to support the family. Now that the elder sister is married, it is natural that Manzhen, who is already working, will take over the burden.Manzhen also has no complaints, full of motivation, not afraid of hardship, and finds something to do after get off work, and one before dinner and one after dinner, and she still enjoys it.
The reason why Shijun asks this is because Manzhen doesn't live at home now.
Manzhen smiled and said: "I found it. It's a colleague in our office. His sister's child needs a tutor, and their home is very close to the factory, which is very convenient."
"Will you be too tired?" Shi Jun really felt sorry for her.
"No." Manzhen shook his head.
Shijun stood still, looked at her and said, "Manzhen, I have something to tell you."
Manzhen glanced at him sideways, her face flushed slightly, and she turned her eyes away: "Say it."
"Manzhen, I'm very glad to meet you. I've always wanted to tell you a lot." Shen Shijun was very nervous, looking straight at Manzhen with his eyes, observing every change in her expression.
Manzhen burst out laughing, her face flushed again.
Shi Jun's heart was relieved, he just felt that her smile was so dazzling, it dispelled all the haze of his wandering for several days, and his heart was completely settled.He grabbed Manzhen's hand and asked, "Is it cold? Let's sit in the cafe for a while?"
"Just take a walk outside, I'm not cold." Manzhen didn't break away from his hand, but shook it back instead.
Shijun was excited and happy, his mouth became more and more clumsy, he couldn't help laughing at himself: "Sometimes I really envy Shuhui, if only I could speak like him."
Manzhen didn't think so, she thought Shen Shijun was very good, he always said what he had to say, unlike Xu Shuhui, sometimes the words made people want to hate him.Shen Shijun is a dutiful and honest person, which is somewhat inconsistent with his background, but he is truly such a person.
Shijun talked about another interesting incident: "When you went to Shuhui's house, his mother misunderstood you and thought you were Shuhui's girlfriend, and told Uncle Xu that I stole Shuhui's girlfriend away. I heard it by accident, and thought it was quite ridiculous. I always feel that falling in love is a very natural thing, and it’s like going to war at every turn. I don’t want to rob me. I don’t think Shuhui will rob me.”
Manzhen said: "I know, you won't fight with Shuhui, will you?"
Shijun paused, and said: "I think some women like others to fight for them. You are different from them."
Manzhen smiled and said, "It's not about fighting or not. Fortunately, Shuhui doesn't like me, otherwise you would have walked away without saying a word, and I would never know what happened."
Shijun was speechless for a moment.
At this moment, the two of them are just chatting here, but how could they know that their fate is just like what they said today. Shijun doubted Manzhen's feelings because of a suspicion, and after searching for nothing, he turned around and married someone else .It was too late when Manzhen escaped and went to find him after several twists and turns.Shen Shijun is a good man and a loyal man, but he is too weak, he succumbs to his family and his fate, if he persists a little longer, the fate of both of them will be reversed.In dealing with feelings, Shen Shijun is inferior to Manzhen, and Manzhen's persistence is far better than Shijun.
One month later, a major event happened in Zhu Mansion.
Bao is pregnant!
This time Zhu Hongcai's reaction was completely different from Wang Lina's. He was extremely happy, and immediately drove back after receiving Abao's call.Now A Bao is called Ms. Li in the Zhu Mansion, and she has long since ceased to be a maid. She wears a fashionable dress, a mink coat that costs hundreds of thousands of dollars, and puts on bright makeup. She looks like a fashionable girl. appearance.A Bao had a relationship with Zhu Hongcai during the Chinese New Year, and the treatment was different immediately. He also learned about Gu Zhenzhen's infertility and compromising attitude from Zhu Hongcai, so he showed a bit of contempt in his actions.This annoyed Gu Zhenzhen, so when Zhu Hongcai proposed to marry A Bao, Gu Zhenzhen disagreed, unless A Bao gave birth to a son.
Zhu Hongcai was not afraid of Gu Zhenzhen, but felt that what she said made sense. If she couldn't have a son, it would be fine to keep it for fun.
Zhu Hongcai didn't care about it, but Abao hated Gu Zhenzhen because of it.
This time when Ah Bao was pregnant, he immediately forced Zhu Hongcai to marry her, and wanted to be a serious wife Zhu. Even the concubine refused to give in, and if she didn't agree, she went to kill the child.Ah Bao is greedy for money, and he got stuck with Zhu Hongcai so soon after arriving at the Zhu mansion, how could he be careless?At the beginning, because Gu Zhenzhen was the former owner, she was a little afraid, and everything was according to the arrangement, but as her bargaining chip increased, she became more and more confident, and she didn't even take Gu Zhenzhen seriously.
Even though Gu Zhenzhen had already thought of a way to get out, she was so pissed off by a servant that she looked down upon her like this.
A Bao urged Zhu Hongcai, and Zhu Hongcai agreed without even thinking about it.His wife in the country died of illness, that's why he took his daughter to him to raise him. Although Gu Zhenzhen used to be known as Mrs. Zhu, she was not actually Mrs. Zhu recognized by the law.
"I don't agree!" Gu Zhenzhen's attitude was very cold and resolute: "Zhu Hongcai, when I married you, I didn't want your money or your power. Although I can't have children, I'm sorry, but I didn't stop you." You are looking for someone, how can you be ungrateful! You can marry your concubine, you can marry as many as you want, but I can only be your wife!"
Gu Zhenzhen knows that Zhu Hongcai loves face the most, so she wants to step on his face with every sentence, and put on a posture of refusing to give up, all in order to anger Zhu Hongcai, and finally achieve the goal of leaving.Even if she wants to leave, she can't take the initiative to leave, so as not to cause trouble in the future.
Zhu Hongcai was really angry, and jumped up violently, wanting to strike.
Gu Zhenzhen fell to the ground crying in an instant, her hair disheveled, and she was very embarrassed: "Zhu Hongcai, do you still have a conscience? I have only been with you for a year, and even if I didn't give birth to you, there is no other place to feel sorry for you, you How dare I live with you because a little bitch who doesn't know if she can give birth to a son is going to beat me now. If you must let her be Mrs. Zhu, then I will go!"
"Manlu, you said that. I wish the mansion and temple are small, but I really can't afford to hold this big Buddha like you. Don't worry, you followed me. Even if you take it apart, I won't wrong you. I will give you a piece of paper. A house, 1000 yuan, and from now on, we will go back to each other and have nothing to do with each other. How about it, I wish Hongcai did not wrong you, right?" Seeing that Manzhen had no extravagant hopes, Zhu Hongcai naturally felt more annoying towards Gu Zhenzhen, now Gu Zhenzhen backtracked on her disapproval of him marrying A Bao. Zhu Hongcai, who had been praised by others since becoming rich, was naturally very dissatisfied.Anyway, it was Gu Zhenzhen who said it himself, and he is not short of that little money now, so he sent people away, so as not to spread the word that he Zhu Hongcai is stingy.
Gu Zhenzhen cried loudly with her face in her hands, she looked really ugly, Zhu Hongcai didn't bother to talk to her, and walked away.
"Hey, miss, do you really want to leave? Where can you go now? Back home? So many mouths, medicine, food, clothes, and school... Ouch, the expenses are quite a lot. If you leave, Then it has nothing to do with the Zhu Mansion, and Hongcai can't afford to help Gu's family anymore." Ah Bao had been watching the excitement outside the door, seeing that Gu Zhenzhen was about to be kicked out, he felt very happy, and deliberately said these words to provoke and ridicule Gu Zhenzhen.
"Get out!" Gu Zhenzhen raised her head and yelled at A Bao, got up and slammed the door.
Hearing Abao swearing away outside the door, Gu Zhenzhen stopped her tears and curled her lips in disdain.
She doesn't want to stay here anymore, Zhu's mansion is like a prison, and now she is finally going to be free again.Holding back his excitement, he dragged out the suitcase containing clothes and jewelry, while thinking in his mind.Zhu Hongcai said that he would give her a house, even if it was smaller and more out of the way, it would cost thousands of dollars, and she had 1000 yuan in cash, plus her own savings, it was quite a lot.
Gu Zhenzhen acted angry and packed two large suitcases, but there were still many clothes left, and there were still a few cosmetics on the dressing table. In fact, all the good clothes and valuables were packed.She was too thoughtful, afraid that Zhu Hongcai would be suspicious, so she left these things on purpose, and made a false appearance that she was expecting Zhu Hongcai to pick them up when she left in a fit of anger.
Seeing that Gu Zhenzhen was about to leave, Mei Ji, who lived in her body, became anxious.
Meiji naturally knew that Gu Zhenzhen wanted to leave Zhu Hongcai, but she didn't expect that it would be today, and now that she let Zhu Hongcai go for nothing, she was very unwilling.Another one, the current luck of this body is ready to talk, but once the luck is swallowed up, it is necessary to find someone to possess again, but Gu Zhenzhen does not go back home, so there is no way to attach to Gu Manzhen.But now he doesn't care much, Zhu Hongcai's fortune has not yet reached its peak, Meiji is reluctant to let go, Meiji must stay in Zhu's mansion.
In a hurry, Mei Ji chose the object to possess——A Bao!
Gu Zhenzhen, who was carrying a suitcase and was about to go out, suddenly had a headache and felt dizzy. She grabbed the door frame and didn't fall, but before she could stand still, there was a sharp pain, and she fainted immediately before she could bear it past.Meiji had no choice but to use her magic power to knock Gu Zhenzhen unconscious.
Meiji is very familiar with everything in the Zhu Mansion, and knowing that Abao is going to take a nap at the moment, she swallows the luck on Manlu in one go.She licked her lips with unrestrained desire, abandoned Manlu's body, and was about to walk through the corridor to Abao's room, but suddenly a violent heart palpitation came, and she instinctively felt a huge crisis, so she turned around and wanted to get back into Manlu's body again.
"Mei Ji!" Tao Shuobai shouted coldly while showing her figure, at the same time, the soul-binding rope whipped across like a long whip, whipping away Mei Ji who was trying to get close to Man Lu.
"Ah!" Mei Ji screamed, terrified and inexplicably shouted: "Young Master Soul Slayer!"
Unexpectedly, she would meet Tao Shuobai, who made the whole underworld tremble. a way out.
Tao Shuobai saw her plan, snorted coldly, and the soul-binding rope wrapped around her again.He cared about the bodies of Gu's sisters before, but it doesn't mean he also cared about Gu Zhenzhen's soul. Even if Gu Zhenzhen is considered to be half a ghost, but this woman's temperament is selfish and sinister, and she is a strange soul intruding from the outside world. If the other party is drawn out of their wits, it is just a loss of a little income.
Little did they know that Mei Ji's actions just now were a cover-up, but her real purpose was to forcibly strip off her remnant soul, and use Gu Zhenzhen's soul as energy to use secret techniques to attack Tao Shuobai.Tao Shuobai saw a ball of dazzling white light coming directly towards the door, the power of the abundant and dangerous soul body is ten times that of ordinary ghosts, and it is divided into two, two into four... until it becomes a dense net with dots attached. The luck is brilliant and the speed is fast.At the same time, Mei Ji fled at high speed in the opposite direction.
Tao Shuobai scattered these light spots with a whip, and immediately went after Meiji regardless of what would happen to Gu Zhenzhen.Not to mention the injured remnant soul, even the intact Mei Ji couldn't escape Tao Shuobai's pursuit.When Meiji tried desperately to get into a certain girl's body, she was trapped by a Yanghuo chain, followed by a trick, and Meiji, who was burnt by Yanghuo and became more and more dilapidated, was put into a peach wood bottle with a howl.
"100 million." Tao Shuobai was in a good mood.
Returning to Zhu's mansion, he released Manlu who had been kept in a porcelain vase.
After a period of cultivation, there was no hostility in Man Lu's body, her soul and body were radiant and pure, and her breath was peaceful.Manlu went mad in the bottle, she didn't know what day and night, her consciousness was all entangled in the tragedy of the previous life, if there was no Tao Shuobai's help, Manlu would either be possessed by demons, or her soul would be scattered.
"Thank you, Mr. Tao." Man Lu bowed and returned to her body.
Tao Shuobai thought of that Gu Zhenzhen, pinched his fingers, raised his eyebrows, and felt that the things in this world were really interesting.I don't care about it now, and left Zhu's mansion.
At this time, Man Lu was sitting in front of the mirror, looking at herself in the mirror, she really felt a world away.Looking at the two big suitcases that had already been packed, Man Lu really had to thank Gu Zhenzhen. If it wasn't for Gu Zhenzhen's planning, she would have to find a way to leave Zhu Hongcai now.
After picking up the suitcase, Man Lu took the things Zhu Hongcai gave her and left the Zhu mansion.
Man Lu didn't go home, but went to the house given by Zhu Hongcai. After seeing it, she found an intermediary to transfer the house, and then she called Manzhen's factory.After get off work that day, Manzhen invited a day to rush over.
"Sister? Sister, it's really you!" Manzhen's eyes were red with excitement, tears were falling down, and she cried while hugging Manlu.
Man Lu also smiled with tears in her eyes: "Okay, okay, don't cry, everything is fine now."
Manzhen hurriedly asked: "That Gu Zhenzhen won't come back again?"
Previously, Gu Zhenzhen possessed Manzhen first, and then Manlu. Manzhen was afraid that one day the other party would find her again, or that another possessed person would appear around her.
Man Lu said: "No, Mr. Tao is here."
Now Man Lu trusts Tao Shuobai very much, thinking that Gu Zhenzhen must be dealt with.
In fact, Tao Shuobai did not deal with Gu Zhenzhen, even though it was easy for him.At that time, Tao Shuobai captured Meiji and came back, after counting, he calculated that Gu Zhenzhen was attached to A Bao by chance.At that time, Gu Zhenzhen was used by Meiji as the medium for casting spells, and the power of luck in her whole body was mobilized. The attack on Tao Shuobai was unsuccessful, and most of the luck had already collapsed. On the nearest Abao, and knocked away the soul of Abao who was not lucky.
If it weren't for Gu Zhenzhen's luck being drawn out by Meiji to condense into an attack force, it wouldn't be possible to shatter a soul of the original body, but this does not mean that Gu Zhenzhen will be reborn from now on.On the contrary, Gu Zhenzhen's luck has been used up, so even if she becomes Ah Bao and has another life, she is doomed to have constant bad luck and ups and downs.
Tao Shuobai left Gu Zhenzhen in order to calculate Gu Zhenzhen's future fate, it was unlucky to drink cold water and stuffed his teeth, so he was destined to not live long.And now the child in Abao's stomach has no chance of being born.
The Gu family sisters didn't know about this, so Manlu called Manzhen over because she had something to say.
"This house was given to me by Zhu Hongcai. I plan to sell it and save it in gold. I don't know what will happen to the world in the future. I still have some money with me, but I have to keep everything except cash. Make a retreat. Don’t tell your family about the money.”
"Sister, this is your money. Naturally, it's up to you to use it as you like. I won't tell Mom and them." Manzhen said hastily.
Man Lu suddenly asked her: "Who is Shen Shijun?"
Manzhen blushed: "Sister, how do you know him?"
"I heard." Man Lu walked over vaguely, and from Manzhen's reaction, she guessed that she and Shen Shijun were walking together again.It seems that it is really fate, Gu Zhenzhen made such a mess, and even Manzhen changed another factory, but the two can still get together, it is not fate.Thinking about her previous life, Man Lu tentatively asked, "How long have you been dating? When do you plan to get married?"
"It hasn't been long, how can we talk about marriage so quickly." Manzhen lowered her head, with a hint of daze in her shyness.Although Manzhen didn't know much about the Shen family, from what he knew on weekdays, the Shen family was not an ordinary family.Manzhen believes in Shijun's feelings, and she is not afraid of the family resistance that may be encountered, but she is afraid that the Shen family will use her sister as a dancer as an excuse. She is not worried that she will be affected, but she is worried that the attitude and words of the Shen family will hurt her sister.
"Manzhen, it's not easy to meet someone you like, so don't be a fool. I know you're worried about getting married, but I want to tell you, don't think too much about them. You see Look at me, what did I get in exchange for seven years of hard work?" Man Lu laughed at herself, but she didn't feel much sadness, and stopped Man Zhen from comforting her, and said, "I figured it out, not only Wei Min and the others look down on me, Even I look down on myself. You see, when my mother talked to me before, did she think that my mother was accommodating me? Even pleasing me? But in fact, I was making money while pleasing everyone in the family, grandma, Wei Min, Xuemin, Jiemin, I didn’t pay attention before, but now that I think about it, I looked down on myself as a dancer at that time, and I was afraid that they would look down on me. Although Mom is sometimes confused, she is her own mother after all, that is, she can tolerate Me, but sometimes she speaks too irritatingly, and too eccentric, and the younger brothers seem precious if they are boys... It seems that I can always quarrel with her. "
Man Lu said again: "I didn't let you tell the family about the money because I thought about it. Weimin and the others only talk about food and don't care where the money comes from. He despises and reprimands him, why should he! They should also understand the pain of not having a father, they should also know that it is not easy to get a copper coin, and they should also understand how rare it is to be able to eat, clothe, and even go to school."
Manzhen instantly understood her intention and naturally agreed.
The two sisters talked a lot, most of which were arrangements for the past.
On the night of New Year's Eve, Tao Shuobai stood on the edge of the window sill, looking up at the brilliant fireworks in the night sky, his ears were filled with the sound of festive firecrackers, and every family celebrated the festival, which made his place seem cold and lonely.
Originally, he had lived like this for thousands of years, so he didn't pay attention to the New Year's festival, a year's time passed by like a fleeting moment in his eyes, it was really nothing.Since taking this job, what I have seen is that ordinary people work at sunrise and rest at sunset, busy, short and full of interesting life.He remembered that in the last world during the New Year, Junshi was a prince, and he brought him steamed buns from six imperial kitchens... Well, to be precise, it was a reward from the emperor.
A slight smile flashed across his lips, and he took a drink from the wine in front of him.
After all, Tao Shuobai is not a mortal, he doesn't have the habit of eating dumplings and glutinous rice balls during the Chinese New Year, and he doesn't even prepare food, he just took a jar of peach blossom wine brewed in the previous small world.He also has a set of wine jugs and cups presented by Junshi. The jug is a heart-warming jug, and one jug holds two wines. It is also a rare treasure in the royal family. I don’t know how Junshi got it. The five wine cups are carved from white jade. , small and exquisite, the cup wall is thin and transparent, warm and moist, a set of wine utensils does not have complicated shapes or carvings, but it is elegant, noble, comfortable and warm, just looking at the materials used is already extraordinary.
Originally, Junshi said to use the luminous cup, but he thought the luminous cup was not good, because it was not as clean and bright as the white jade.Peach Blossom Wine is clear in color, like rouge in color, and has a mellow and sweet taste.

After sipping another glass of wine, Tao Shuobai raised his hand to calculate.
Very good, two months later there will be an excellent opportunity, this time the small world can bump into a Mei Ji is purely an unexpected harvest.Mei Ji's magic skills are mediocre, and her ability to escape is not as good as Wang Baochuan's encounter with Yang Qi, the evil ghost in the world.Tao Shuobai didn't dare to guarantee 100% to capture Mei Ji in one fell swoop, so he had to be prepared to deal with emergencies at any time.
In the first month, although the taste of the new year has not yet dissipated, all factories and schools have started school, and everyone is busy with work.
Shen Shijun also started to go to work early, because Gu Manzhen works in Yangshupu, and it is rare to see each other. The only time they can spend two days together is on weekends. As people in love, they always look forward to seeing each other and cannot bear to be separated.Well, maybe it's not quite accurate to say that they are passionately in love. The two of them are full of ambiguity, and they know each other well, but they never pierce the window paper.It's a rare weekend again, Shen Shijun has planned for a long time, and decided to express his heart to Gu Manzhen today.
Piansheng received a call in the morning that Fang Yipeng had come from Nanjing and invited him out for dinner.
Fang Yipeng is the younger brother of Shen Shijun's sister-in-law, and the two families are also very familiar with each other. It's just that they have grown up in recent years, and they don't get together in one place, and they rarely see each other.The other party called, and it was difficult to come to Shanghai again. Shen Shijun had to entertain him, so he could only temporarily postpone Yeo Manzhen's plan to come out.
The two met in the restaurant. During the dinner, Fang Yipeng suddenly mentioned something: "My family intends to match Cuizhi and me."
Shen Shijun was surprised, when he went back to Nanjing last October, those people still wanted to make him and Shi Cuizhi a pair.The Shi family, the Fang family, and even the Shen family are the same. They all pay attention to the right family when they meet their children, so the range of choices is naturally narrow, and there are only so many young people of the same generation, so Fang Yipeng and Shi Cuizhi may not be bad.
Naturally, Shijun wanted to say congratulations, but thinking of himself and Manzhen, he was even more eager to find out each other's feelings.
After seeing off Yipeng, Shijun returned to Xu's house, changed his clothes and prepared to go out.
"Shijun, is this a date?" Xu Shuhui joked when he saw that he was tidy and his expression was different from before.
Shijun just smiled, the matter between him and Manzhen is not really a secret, and Shuhui is his good friend, so he shouldn't keep it a secret, but firstly, the two of them haven't opened up yet, secondly, Shuhui sometimes speaks carelessly, He also didn't want to listen to Shuhui's guesswork.
Before leaving, Shijun said, "Yipeng came to Shanghai and said that he and Shi Cuizhi might get married."
The children of these families are like this. First, the elders introduced the blind date. As long as they met each other, they were almost engaged.
Shu Hui was taken aback: "Oh... this is a happy event, please say congratulations for me."
Shi Jun, who had left the house, didn't know that Xu Shuhui was bored after hearing the news, lying listlessly on the bed.Xu's mother saw that he didn't run out on weekends like he used to, and thought he was uncomfortable, and the other party ignored him when he spoke.

At this time, Shijun and Manzhen had just come out of the alley, walking aimlessly along the street.
"You said you were looking for something to do, did you find it? Is it convenient?"
Since the two met unexpectedly last year, they often looked for opportunities to meet each other. Manzhen told Shen Shijun everything about his family, including his sister Manlu.Manzhen didn't mean anything else, Gu Zhenzhen's words and actions before caused people to misunderstand deeply, even if Manzhen kept silent in the past, she was unwilling to use words to deceive others.Later, as the relationship deepened, Shijun knew more about Manzhen, and knew that she was gentle and strong, kind and enthusiastic, and she was a very good girl!The situation of the Gu family is naturally heavy. They used to rely on their elder sister Manlu to support the family. Now that the elder sister is married, it is natural that Manzhen, who is already working, will take over the burden.Manzhen also has no complaints, full of motivation, not afraid of hardship, and finds something to do after get off work, and one before dinner and one after dinner, and she still enjoys it.
The reason why Shijun asks this is because Manzhen doesn't live at home now.
Manzhen smiled and said: "I found it. It's a colleague in our office. His sister's child needs a tutor, and their home is very close to the factory, which is very convenient."
"Will you be too tired?" Shi Jun really felt sorry for her.
"No." Manzhen shook his head.
Shijun stood still, looked at her and said, "Manzhen, I have something to tell you."
Manzhen glanced at him sideways, her face flushed slightly, and she turned her eyes away: "Say it."
"Manzhen, I'm very glad to meet you. I've always wanted to tell you a lot." Shen Shijun was very nervous, looking straight at Manzhen with his eyes, observing every change in her expression.
Manzhen burst out laughing, her face flushed again.
Shi Jun's heart was relieved, he just felt that her smile was so dazzling, it dispelled all the haze of his wandering for several days, and his heart was completely settled.He grabbed Manzhen's hand and asked, "Is it cold? Let's sit in the cafe for a while?"
"Just take a walk outside, I'm not cold." Manzhen didn't break away from his hand, but shook it back instead.
Shijun was excited and happy, his mouth became more and more clumsy, he couldn't help laughing at himself: "Sometimes I really envy Shuhui, if only I could speak like him."
Manzhen didn't think so, she thought Shen Shijun was very good, he always said what he had to say, unlike Xu Shuhui, sometimes the words made people want to hate him.Shen Shijun is a dutiful and honest person, which is somewhat inconsistent with his background, but he is truly such a person.
Shijun talked about another interesting incident: "When you went to Shuhui's house, his mother misunderstood you and thought you were Shuhui's girlfriend, and told Uncle Xu that I stole Shuhui's girlfriend away. I heard it by accident, and thought it was quite ridiculous. I always feel that falling in love is a very natural thing, and it’s like going to war at every turn. I don’t want to rob me. I don’t think Shuhui will rob me.”
Manzhen said: "I know, you won't fight with Shuhui, will you?"
Shijun paused, and said: "I think some women like others to fight for them. You are different from them."
Manzhen smiled and said, "It's not about fighting or not. Fortunately, Shuhui doesn't like me, otherwise you would have walked away without saying a word, and I would never know what happened."
Shijun was speechless for a moment.
At this moment, the two of them are just chatting here, but how could they know that their fate is just like what they said today. Shijun doubted Manzhen's feelings because of a suspicion, and after searching for nothing, he turned around and married someone else .It was too late when Manzhen escaped and went to find him after several twists and turns.Shen Shijun is a good man and a loyal man, but he is too weak, he succumbs to his family and his fate, if he persists a little longer, the fate of both of them will be reversed.In dealing with feelings, Shen Shijun is inferior to Manzhen, and Manzhen's persistence is far better than Shijun.
One month later, a major event happened in Zhu Mansion.
Bao is pregnant!
This time Zhu Hongcai's reaction was completely different from Wang Lina's. He was extremely happy, and immediately drove back after receiving Abao's call.Now A Bao is called Ms. Li in the Zhu Mansion, and she has long since ceased to be a maid. She wears a fashionable dress, a mink coat that costs hundreds of thousands of dollars, and puts on bright makeup. She looks like a fashionable girl. appearance.A Bao had a relationship with Zhu Hongcai during the Chinese New Year, and the treatment was different immediately. He also learned about Gu Zhenzhen's infertility and compromising attitude from Zhu Hongcai, so he showed a bit of contempt in his actions.This annoyed Gu Zhenzhen, so when Zhu Hongcai proposed to marry A Bao, Gu Zhenzhen disagreed, unless A Bao gave birth to a son.
Zhu Hongcai was not afraid of Gu Zhenzhen, but felt that what she said made sense. If she couldn't have a son, it would be fine to keep it for fun.
Zhu Hongcai didn't care about it, but Abao hated Gu Zhenzhen because of it.
This time when Ah Bao was pregnant, he immediately forced Zhu Hongcai to marry her, and wanted to be a serious wife Zhu. Even the concubine refused to give in, and if she didn't agree, she went to kill the child.Ah Bao is greedy for money, and he got stuck with Zhu Hongcai so soon after arriving at the Zhu mansion, how could he be careless?At the beginning, because Gu Zhenzhen was the former owner, she was a little afraid, and everything was according to the arrangement, but as her bargaining chip increased, she became more and more confident, and she didn't even take Gu Zhenzhen seriously.
Even though Gu Zhenzhen had already thought of a way to get out, she was so pissed off by a servant that she looked down upon her like this.
A Bao urged Zhu Hongcai, and Zhu Hongcai agreed without even thinking about it.His wife in the country died of illness, that's why he took his daughter to him to raise him. Although Gu Zhenzhen used to be known as Mrs. Zhu, she was not actually Mrs. Zhu recognized by the law.
"I don't agree!" Gu Zhenzhen's attitude was very cold and resolute: "Zhu Hongcai, when I married you, I didn't want your money or your power. Although I can't have children, I'm sorry, but I didn't stop you." You are looking for someone, how can you be ungrateful! You can marry your concubine, you can marry as many as you want, but I can only be your wife!"
Gu Zhenzhen knows that Zhu Hongcai loves face the most, so she wants to step on his face with every sentence, and put on a posture of refusing to give up, all in order to anger Zhu Hongcai, and finally achieve the goal of leaving.Even if she wants to leave, she can't take the initiative to leave, so as not to cause trouble in the future.
Zhu Hongcai was really angry, and jumped up violently, wanting to strike.
Gu Zhenzhen fell to the ground crying in an instant, her hair disheveled, and she was very embarrassed: "Zhu Hongcai, do you still have a conscience? I have only been with you for a year, and even if I didn't give birth to you, there is no other place to feel sorry for you, you How dare I live with you because a little bitch who doesn't know if she can give birth to a son is going to beat me now. If you must let her be Mrs. Zhu, then I will go!"
"Manlu, you said that. I wish the mansion and temple are small, but I really can't afford to hold this big Buddha like you. Don't worry, you followed me. Even if you take it apart, I won't wrong you. I will give you a piece of paper. A house, 1000 yuan, and from now on, we will go back to each other and have nothing to do with each other. How about it, I wish Hongcai did not wrong you, right?" Seeing that Manzhen had no extravagant hopes, Zhu Hongcai naturally felt more annoying towards Gu Zhenzhen, now Gu Zhenzhen backtracked on her disapproval of him marrying A Bao. Zhu Hongcai, who had been praised by others since becoming rich, was naturally very dissatisfied.Anyway, it was Gu Zhenzhen who said it himself, and he is not short of that little money now, so he sent people away, so as not to spread the word that he Zhu Hongcai is stingy.
Gu Zhenzhen cried loudly with her face in her hands, she looked really ugly, Zhu Hongcai didn't bother to talk to her, and walked away.
"Hey, miss, do you really want to leave? Where can you go now? Back home? So many mouths, medicine, food, clothes, and school... Ouch, the expenses are quite a lot. If you leave, Then it has nothing to do with the Zhu Mansion, and Hongcai can't afford to help Gu's family anymore." Ah Bao had been watching the excitement outside the door, seeing that Gu Zhenzhen was about to be kicked out, he felt very happy, and deliberately said these words to provoke and ridicule Gu Zhenzhen.
"Get out!" Gu Zhenzhen raised her head and yelled at A Bao, got up and slammed the door.
Hearing Abao swearing away outside the door, Gu Zhenzhen stopped her tears and curled her lips in disdain.
She doesn't want to stay here anymore, Zhu's mansion is like a prison, and now she is finally going to be free again.Holding back his excitement, he dragged out the suitcase containing clothes and jewelry, while thinking in his mind.Zhu Hongcai said that he would give her a house, even if it was smaller and more out of the way, it would cost thousands of dollars, and she had 1000 yuan in cash, plus her own savings, it was quite a lot.
Gu Zhenzhen acted angry and packed two large suitcases, but there were still many clothes left, and there were still a few cosmetics on the dressing table. In fact, all the good clothes and valuables were packed.She was too thoughtful, afraid that Zhu Hongcai would be suspicious, so she left these things on purpose, and made a false appearance that she was expecting Zhu Hongcai to pick them up when she left in a fit of anger.
Seeing that Gu Zhenzhen was about to leave, Mei Ji, who lived in her body, became anxious.
Meiji naturally knew that Gu Zhenzhen wanted to leave Zhu Hongcai, but she didn't expect that it would be today, and now that she let Zhu Hongcai go for nothing, she was very unwilling.Another one, the current luck of this body is ready to talk, but once the luck is swallowed up, it is necessary to find someone to possess again, but Gu Zhenzhen does not go back home, so there is no way to attach to Gu Manzhen.But now he doesn't care much, Zhu Hongcai's fortune has not yet reached its peak, Meiji is reluctant to let go, Meiji must stay in Zhu's mansion.
In a hurry, Mei Ji chose the object to possess——A Bao!
Gu Zhenzhen, who was carrying a suitcase and was about to go out, suddenly had a headache and felt dizzy. She grabbed the door frame and didn't fall, but before she could stand still, there was a sharp pain, and she fainted immediately before she could bear it past.Meiji had no choice but to use her magic power to knock Gu Zhenzhen unconscious.
Meiji is very familiar with everything in the Zhu Mansion, and knowing that Abao is going to take a nap at the moment, she swallows the luck on Manlu in one go.She licked her lips with unrestrained desire, abandoned Manlu's body, and was about to walk through the corridor to Abao's room, but suddenly a violent heart palpitation came, and she instinctively felt a huge crisis, so she turned around and wanted to get back into Manlu's body again.
"Mei Ji!" Tao Shuobai shouted coldly while showing her figure, at the same time, the soul-binding rope whipped across like a long whip, whipping away Mei Ji who was trying to get close to Man Lu.
"Ah!" Mei Ji screamed, terrified and inexplicably shouted: "Young Master Soul Slayer!"
Unexpectedly, she would meet Tao Shuobai, who made the whole underworld tremble. a way out.
Tao Shuobai saw her plan, snorted coldly, and the soul-binding rope wrapped around her again.He cared about the bodies of Gu's sisters before, but it doesn't mean he also cared about Gu Zhenzhen's soul. Even if Gu Zhenzhen is considered to be half a ghost, but this woman's temperament is selfish and sinister, and she is a strange soul intruding from the outside world. If the other party is drawn out of their wits, it is just a loss of a little income.
Little did they know that Mei Ji's actions just now were a cover-up, but her real purpose was to forcibly strip off her remnant soul, and use Gu Zhenzhen's soul as energy to use secret techniques to attack Tao Shuobai.Tao Shuobai saw a ball of dazzling white light coming directly towards the door, the power of the abundant and dangerous soul body is ten times that of ordinary ghosts, and it is divided into two, two into four... until it becomes a dense net with dots attached. The luck is brilliant and the speed is fast.At the same time, Mei Ji fled at high speed in the opposite direction.
Tao Shuobai scattered these light spots with a whip, and immediately went after Meiji regardless of what would happen to Gu Zhenzhen.Not to mention the injured remnant soul, even the intact Mei Ji couldn't escape Tao Shuobai's pursuit.When Meiji tried desperately to get into a certain girl's body, she was trapped by a Yanghuo chain, followed by a trick, and Meiji, who was burnt by Yanghuo and became more and more dilapidated, was put into a peach wood bottle with a howl.
"100 million." Tao Shuobai was in a good mood.
Returning to Zhu's mansion, he released Manlu who had been kept in a porcelain vase.
After a period of cultivation, there was no hostility in Man Lu's body, her soul and body were radiant and pure, and her breath was peaceful.Manlu went mad in the bottle, she didn't know what day and night, her consciousness was all entangled in the tragedy of the previous life, if there was no Tao Shuobai's help, Manlu would either be possessed by demons, or her soul would be scattered.
"Thank you, Mr. Tao." Man Lu bowed and returned to her body.
Tao Shuobai thought of that Gu Zhenzhen, pinched his fingers, raised his eyebrows, and felt that the things in this world were really interesting.I don't care about it now, and left Zhu's mansion.
At this time, Man Lu was sitting in front of the mirror, looking at herself in the mirror, she really felt a world away.Looking at the two big suitcases that had already been packed, Man Lu really had to thank Gu Zhenzhen. If it wasn't for Gu Zhenzhen's planning, she would have to find a way to leave Zhu Hongcai now.
After picking up the suitcase, Man Lu took the things Zhu Hongcai gave her and left the Zhu mansion.
Man Lu didn't go home, but went to the house given by Zhu Hongcai. After seeing it, she found an intermediary to transfer the house, and then she called Manzhen's factory.After get off work that day, Manzhen invited a day to rush over.
"Sister? Sister, it's really you!" Manzhen's eyes were red with excitement, tears were falling down, and she cried while hugging Manlu.
Man Lu also smiled with tears in her eyes: "Okay, okay, don't cry, everything is fine now."
Manzhen hurriedly asked: "That Gu Zhenzhen won't come back again?"
Previously, Gu Zhenzhen possessed Manzhen first, and then Manlu. Manzhen was afraid that one day the other party would find her again, or that another possessed person would appear around her.
Man Lu said: "No, Mr. Tao is here."
Now Man Lu trusts Tao Shuobai very much, thinking that Gu Zhenzhen must be dealt with.
In fact, Tao Shuobai did not deal with Gu Zhenzhen, even though it was easy for him.At that time, Tao Shuobai captured Meiji and came back, after counting, he calculated that Gu Zhenzhen was attached to A Bao by chance.At that time, Gu Zhenzhen was used by Meiji as the medium for casting spells, and the power of luck in her whole body was mobilized. The attack on Tao Shuobai was unsuccessful, and most of the luck had already collapsed. On the nearest Abao, and knocked away the soul of Abao who was not lucky.
If it weren't for Gu Zhenzhen's luck being drawn out by Meiji to condense into an attack force, it wouldn't be possible to shatter a soul of the original body, but this does not mean that Gu Zhenzhen will be reborn from now on.On the contrary, Gu Zhenzhen's luck has been used up, so even if she becomes Ah Bao and has another life, she is doomed to have constant bad luck and ups and downs.
Tao Shuobai left Gu Zhenzhen in order to calculate Gu Zhenzhen's future fate, it was unlucky to drink cold water and stuffed his teeth, so he was destined to not live long.And now the child in Abao's stomach has no chance of being born.
The Gu family sisters didn't know about this, so Manlu called Manzhen over because she had something to say.
"This house was given to me by Zhu Hongcai. I plan to sell it and save it in gold. I don't know what will happen to the world in the future. I still have some money with me, but I have to keep everything except cash. Make a retreat. Don’t tell your family about the money.”
"Sister, this is your money. Naturally, it's up to you to use it as you like. I won't tell Mom and them." Manzhen said hastily.
Man Lu suddenly asked her: "Who is Shen Shijun?"
Manzhen blushed: "Sister, how do you know him?"
"I heard." Man Lu walked over vaguely, and from Manzhen's reaction, she guessed that she and Shen Shijun were walking together again.It seems that it is really fate, Gu Zhenzhen made such a mess, and even Manzhen changed another factory, but the two can still get together, it is not fate.Thinking about her previous life, Man Lu tentatively asked, "How long have you been dating? When do you plan to get married?"
"It hasn't been long, how can we talk about marriage so quickly." Manzhen lowered her head, with a hint of daze in her shyness.Although Manzhen didn't know much about the Shen family, from what he knew on weekdays, the Shen family was not an ordinary family.Manzhen believes in Shijun's feelings, and she is not afraid of the family resistance that may be encountered, but she is afraid that the Shen family will use her sister as a dancer as an excuse. She is not worried that she will be affected, but she is worried that the attitude and words of the Shen family will hurt her sister.
"Manzhen, it's not easy to meet someone you like, so don't be a fool. I know you're worried about getting married, but I want to tell you, don't think too much about them. You see Look at me, what did I get in exchange for seven years of hard work?" Man Lu laughed at herself, but she didn't feel much sadness, and stopped Man Zhen from comforting her, and said, "I figured it out, not only Wei Min and the others look down on me, Even I look down on myself. You see, when my mother talked to me before, did she think that my mother was accommodating me? Even pleasing me? But in fact, I was making money while pleasing everyone in the family, grandma, Wei Min, Xuemin, Jiemin, I didn’t pay attention before, but now that I think about it, I looked down on myself as a dancer at that time, and I was afraid that they would look down on me. Although Mom is sometimes confused, she is her own mother after all, that is, she can tolerate Me, but sometimes she speaks too irritatingly, and too eccentric, and the younger brothers seem precious if they are boys... It seems that I can always quarrel with her. "
Man Lu said again: "I didn't let you tell the family about the money because I thought about it. Weimin and the others only talk about food and don't care where the money comes from. He despises and reprimands him, why should he! They should also understand the pain of not having a father, they should also know that it is not easy to get a copper coin, and they should also understand how rare it is to be able to eat, clothe, and even go to school."
Manzhen instantly understood her intention and naturally agreed.
The two sisters talked a lot, most of which were arrangements for the past.
