Golden Pink Building

Qingqiu was very surprised and said: "Why do you become the same person as Lao Zhao, whether you are an official or not, you are not the same person as Lao Zhao. Just now the eldest brother and sister-in-law said..." Qingqiu's words continued, Bai Shaoyi stretched out her finger and pressed Qingqiu's lips: "I heard everything you and the elder brother said. Qingqiu, thank you for understanding my heart. In fact, you are worried about the children in your heart. Let me tell you, little pig and Yuanyuan are still in love. Little ones, when they grow up, the world may change in another way. Your book says that blessings come from misfortunes, and blessings depend on them. Others now seem to have a natural advantage, so maybe you can’t take it 20 years is another world. The current advantage may be the entanglement or even the original sin at that time. We gave them life, and they still have to control their own life in the end when they come to this world." Bai Shaoyi's eyes were dim Glittering under the moonlight, although standing very close, Qingqiu couldn't fully see the expression on Bai Shaoyi's face.But Qingqiu could hear Bai Shaoyi's tone of joy.

"Big brother will definitely be sad when he sees this face of yours. In his eyes, you are also a deviant person, just like Xiuzhu was crying and arguing to marry Yanxi. Your family, big brother is really worried Fate, really pitiful!" Qingqiu suddenly felt emotional, in the eyes of outsiders, Bai Xiongqi is extremely deep, ruthless, and slick, he is a character not to be trifled with.But from Qingqiu's point of view, Bai Xiongqi is really a good brother, he only takes the responsibility of raising his younger sister, and at the same time cares about planning for his cousin's official career.He is willing to do his best to plan big and small things in the family, so he is considered a very good person.In fact, there are no purely bad people in the world, nor are there purely good people.

"I didn't expect that my brother's bosom friend turned out to be you. Others slandered my brother's behavior a bit, saying that he is too powerful and powerful! I am sorry for my brother, but I didn't expect you to want to go with me. Wait. Tell your brother another day, he might start crying excitedly, let's go back, it's cold outside." Bai Shaoyi held Qingqiu's hand cherishingly in his palm, and pulled her into the room.

The husband and wife went up to see the children first, because today was a treat, Yuan Yuan and Xiao Zhu were eating upstairs by themselves, and the nanny naturally watched them go to bed early.Waiting for Qingqiu to go up, the two children fell asleep.Bai Shaoyi picked up the doll that fell on the ground, put it on the head of her daughter's bed, and said to Qingqiu in a low voice: "Let's go out." Qingqiu pulled Bai Shaoyi to dim the lights and walked away together.

After waiting for the couple to finish washing, they finally lay down and rested.Bai Shaoyi was lying in the dark without sleepiness, with his hands on his pillow: "I think it's better sooner rather than later. I'll return the gift to Zhao first, and people should understand what we mean. It's just that you and those wives are socializing in this way." At that time, people’s husbands were all officials’ wives, don’t you feel inferior. I am comfortable but you are going to be wronged.” Bai Shaoyi firmly believes that the wife’s face is all earned by her husband, and he is obliged and responsible. Responsibility to give Qingqiu the best.Now because of his political disagreement, Qingqiu would be humiliated when he went out to socialize with Qingqiu.

Hearing the self-blame and guilt in her husband's tone, Qingqiu turned over and said to Bai Shaoyi: "You think too much, why do I feel inferior. Now it is the Republic of China that advocates equality for everyone. If they still think that they rely on their husbands If you want to get an imperial order, you can use other people as servant girls. It’s fine to ignore such people. Likes gather together and people are divided into groups, so I have nothing to say with them. Of course a husband and wife are one, and when you are an official, someone will come up to you. It's flattering, but what's the fun in such hypocritical words and false excitement? If I use your reputation to be a tyrant, it won't hurt our face? Although I can't match your ability, who can underestimate my hard work? It's me. It's Sima Niu's sigh, go to bed early." Qingqiu felt a little tired, she yawned and wrapped herself in the quilt and turned around to fall asleep.

Bai Shaoyi suddenly remembered something, and said hesitantly: "Do you think there is something wrong with Lao Zhao? If he really likes your cousin, he shouldn't sweep her face like that. Whoever proposes a marriage gift is not a serious matter. It would be better for him to write a check as casually as buying something in the market, if I were your cousin, I would be so angry."

Qingqiu suddenly lost sleepiness, she thought about the situation at night, and sighed helplessly: "You have seen my cousin, although he is not a very greedy person, it is a pity that he is a small businessman in the countryside. The squire should be cautious about everything, let alone in front of Lao Zhao. It’s just that his cautiousness makes people hate and sad. Xiuzhi, a girl, came to a big city for the first time, and she just followed her parents. , I also think Lao Zhao is a bit weird."

"He's weird, please listen carefully!" Bai Shaoyi immediately questioned Qingqiu, thinking that she seemed to have gone too far, Bai Shaoyi immediately added: "I mean, let's talk about it, let's see what we think It's different." Qingqiu didn't think about anything else, she leaned on Bai Shaoyi's shoulder and said in a low voice: "I don't think Lao Zhao really likes Xiuzhi, but that's just a feeling, or Lao Zhao's temper is originally That's it. Maybe he thinks that my cousin is really not on the stage. Although Xiuzhi is good, but her personality is too dull, she is a little impatient. You, a friend from childhood to adulthood, are sometimes really unpredictable. You can say that he is a bad person. If nothing else, he is very good to his family and friends. Although he is very ruthless in handling things, especially official business, but that is his responsibility, so what can you do? If it is said that he is a good person, but sometimes he always acts with indifference. It is like the matter of Chunsheng, he is good to the child, but Zhao Yihan took the child to Nanjing, and Lao Zhao didn't seem to care about it at all. Chunsheng is a bit unfamiliar, but a child still has feelings after being around for a long time. I didn't expect Lao Zhao to be like a normal person. I just hope that Xiuzhi will become more lively after getting married. Let's get along and get along with each other. As for tonight, Lao Zhao is annoyed by the noise made by my cousin."

"You always think of people in a good way. In fact, you are right. Your cousin is really not respectable. But your cousin is not bad, she is a calm person. We don't care about other people's gossip, let's rest first Go." Said Bai Shaoyi turned over to hold Qingqiu, lowered her head and sucked her lips in her mouth.Qingqiu complained coquettishly: "You, haven't you made enough trouble?"

No, there is never enough for you and me.Bai Shaoyi swore domineeringly, while pulling off the lamp on the bedside, the bedroom was plunged into darkness, only panting and moaning.

The next day, before Bai Shaoyi could figure out how to return the things, someone brought an invitation to invite Bai Shaoyi and Qingqiu to the banquet.Putting the invitation card on the coffee table with a snap, Bai Shaoyi looked at Qingqiu helplessly: "Look, they came to invite us before we could reply. Forget it, let's just talk about it at the banquet. You see Woolen cloth?"

Qingqiu picked up the invitation card and looked at it, and suddenly thought of something: "Are you inviting us or all of you? You see, the place where they treat guests is a box. We have been to that place before, and the biggest box can't accommodate your group. People, not to mention family members. I think you should ask others first, and then talk about the situation after clarifying the situation."

Oops, if you didn't tell me, I really ignored it.I'm going to call and ask someone else.Bai Shaoyi was reminded by Qingqiu and immediately woke up like a dream, turned over and went to make a phone call.A few minutes later, Bai Shaoyi said to Qingqiu with a helpless face: "We only invited the head of the group and us. I think the banquet is not a good one, and it must be something ulterior motive. Let's take a look at the situation first. "Qingqiu nodded, she called Mama Zhang and told her and Bai Shaoyi to go out tonight, first arranged dinner for Yuanyuan and Xiaozhu, and asked the nanny to take care of the children.

In the afternoon, just as the big clock in the foyer rang five times, a car came to pick up Bai Shaoyi and Qingqiu for the banquet.Bai Shaoyi adjusted his tie in the mirror, and saw Qingqiu wearing an autumn-colored cheongsam wrapped under a black cashmere shawl.In fact, Qingqiu likes delicate dresses very much, she has unique views on decoration and clothing, although Qingqiu doesn't like to be in the limelight, leading the fashion of the ladies in Shanghai.But Qingqiu's unique dress has many people secretly imitating it.Qingqiu prefers bright colors, and once she goes out to socialize, she also dresses up very brightly.It's just why Qingqiu is dressed so dimly this time.

"We went for dinner, why are you making a scene like a lawsuit?" Bai Shaoyi joked about Qingqiu's plain attire.It caused Qingqiu to give a reproachful look: "We went there to have a happy meal, and you didn't worry at all. You brought that thing with you? Don't forget it. I don't know if people can tolerate your ignorance of current affairs." down."

Is there anything that can and cannot be tolerated? Does the cow press its head forcibly without drinking water?I've seen people ask officials to do so and ask for attention, which makes those who are not superior unhappy.I haven't seen anyone who is angry that someone doesn't come to ask for an official. Let's go. You don't know that the position of the deputy minister has already been arranged. I suddenly kicked him to be an airborne force, and I have already asked someone to bother.I'm a sensible person, and I quit on my own initiative, and it's too late for them to be happy, so why would they be angry.Bai Shaoyi took Qingqiu's hand and went out together to get into the car without mentioning it.

The car stopped at the gate of Shanghai Hotel, the unsmiling driver got out of the car first and opened the door, asking Bai Shaoyi and his wife to get off.Standing in front of the restaurant, Qingqiu suddenly noticed something unusual. Mei Li liked the afternoon tea at the Shanghai Hotel very much. Qingqiu also came to this place very often. It was usually very lively in front of the hotel at this time, but today it was deserted in front of the restaurant.Almost no one came to eat and entertain.

"Let's go, do you think the big man is here, and you can let the common people come and go? In the past, the seventh-rank officials had to have a few yamen servants who shouted when they went out, let alone a prime minister." Bai Shaoyi murmured in Qingqiu's ear .

"You watched it on the stage, right? It's all other people's nonsense. Generally, if there is nothing important, the official will put that on? When you go out in front of the official, a group of people will ring the gong to clear the way. Are you going to the court? Don't mess with it." It's a joke." Qingqiu thought about the exaggerated performances on the stage, and remembered that his father in his previous life was never so ostentatious even if he was a first-rank official.Qingqiu's eyes swept away, and suddenly saw a somewhat familiar figure flashing past outside the hotel, that person was sitting on the coffee seat in front of the hotel with a pretentious make-up, holding a newspaper to cover half of his face, it looked like a While reading the newspaper, he was actually staring at the people who came in and out.That person seemed to be the subordinate Zhao Zhongshu sent to protect them.

Qingqiu looked over in surprise, that person seemed to have noticed that Qingqiu was staring at him, immediately stood up and left, what are you looking at?It's time to go in, Bai Shaoyi followed Qingqiu's line of sight to look over, a man in overalls hurried over with a delivery box.Qingqiu hesitated and said to Bai Shaoyi in a low voice: "I seem to have seen Lao Zhao's men, why is he still serving as his bodyguard?"

"It's there to serve as guards for others, and it's nothing more than worrying about inquiring about each other's news. Don't mention it, just be careful not to spoil other people's affairs." Bai Shaoyi immediately understood that this was just a means of fighting, and the position of the executive director was nothing more than He agreed reluctantly, but in fact, he would not hand over such an important position to someone who opposed him just now.Qingqiu also understood immediately, she was a little worried, all the time it was the gods who fought and the little ghosts suffered, the Jia family fell in the last life, apart from those men who went out to support the family and did not practice morality, standing on the wrong team was also the main reason for the collapse of the Jia family .In this life, she just wanted to live a stable life, and didn't want to get involved in any party struggles.After entering the restaurant, someone greeted him, took a special elevator to the restaurant on the top floor, Qingqiu thought he was in a private room, but who knew that the entire sightseeing restaurant on the top floor was booked out.Anyone who sits in front of that window can see the scenery of the Pujiang River.

The previous tables were gone, and there was only a large dining table in front of the window with the best view, covered with white linen tablecloth, embroidered with delicate patterns, silver tableware shining in the candlelight, and The sterling silver cutlery on the table complements each other.Bai Shaoyi's heart moved, something was wrong, and she was not particularly outstanding, so how could He De be so valued by the dean?

"Mr. Bai and Mrs. Bai are here. I was not greeted. I was caught up in trivial matters. I can't come to welcome Mr. and Mrs. Xian in person. Please forgive me." A gentle male voice suddenly sounded behind them. When Qingqiu and Bai Shaoyi turned to look , I saw a handsome, high-spirited man surrounded by a group of people, looking at them with a smile.
