Golden Pink Building

Qingqiu did not expect Zhao Zhongshu to say such a thing. Zhao Zhongshu stared at Qingqiu silently with an expression on his face that I knew everything: "Although it is a society ruled by law now, you should be careful as a weak woman. Don't worry, I am not that kind." People who like to gossip, if you want, I won’t even talk to Shao Yi. He definitely won’t agree with you, but think about it, if Shao Yi handles this matter, there will inevitably be conflicts. You just want to Shao Yi thinks, he can't be asked to go." Zhao Zhongshu spoke sincerely.Qingqiu looked at Zhao Zhongshu without saying a word, she weighed in her heart for a long time, and finally opened her mouth: "Thank you for your kindness, I went to change clothes." Zhao Zhongshu looked at the two people standing in the living room waiting for Qingqiu, and sent her off Give a reassuring look: "Just change your clothes at ease, I'll send those two people away." Qingqiu nodded silently, there was really nothing she could do against such a person.

When Qingqiu came down from upstairs, the two men in black were gone, Zhao Zhongshu looked at Qingqiu and his eyes lit up, he just wanted to say something, but he wanted to swallow the words that came to his lips. "Don't worry, I've sent those two slaves away. They just used this trick to frighten you women. He didn't dare to do anything in Shanghai. Let's go. I'll be your servant today. Please leave first." Saying that, Zhao Zhongshu made a gesture of invitation, bent down respectfully and opened the door to invite Qingqiu to go out.Qingqiu looked around, but she didn't see Zhang Ma.

Zhao Zhongshu knew what she wanted to say, and gave Qingqiu a reassuring look: "I asked Mama Zhang to go out. In fact, there are some things at home that don't need to be known by servants. Mama Zhang is a good housekeeper, but unfortunately she likes to talk too much sometimes. It’s better to have more things at home than to have less things.” After all, Madam Zhang was trained by Mrs. Bai Jin Ying for many years. Waiting for Bai Wenxin and his wife to return home, Mama Zhang had to tell Mrs. Bai everything about the family. Qingqiu is very innocent, but some mother-in-law likes to hear her daughter-in-law being pursued by others.They will definitely be unhappy, especially if the suitor is still in a high position. Even if Bai Wenxin and his wife are enlightened people, they will still have doubts about Qingqiu's character.

Qingqiu didn't expect that Zhao Zhongshu was so amazed and thoughtful, she even thought of this, she never thought that Bai Wenxin and his wife would know about this, now that Zhao Zhongshu reminded her, Qingqiu's heart suddenly tightened, his words were terrifying, back then Mrs. Bai loved her very much, and she didn't mean to belittle or neglect her at all.If she found out, how should I deal with myself in front of my elders?Thinking of this, Qingqiu couldn't help turning pale and trembling all over.

"Why are you crying? Don't worry, I'll discuss it with Bai Shaoyi, and I will definitely not let your old man and wife know. Don't cry, your face is stained. If you go out like this, you might think I'm bullying you." A soft voice Things fell on Qingqiu's face, and Qingqiu, who had been immersed in his own thoughts just now, suddenly realized that it turned out that Zhao Zhongshu was wiping her tears with a handkerchief.This behavior is too intimate and a bit inappropriate.Qingqiu dodges for a moment, and wipes the tears on his face with his own silk.Although she was surprised by Zhao Zhongshu's behavior, her heart was full of other things, and she didn't think deeply about it.Zhao Zhongshu was as usual, he didn't feel embarrassed, he just put up the handkerchief calmly, opened the door and told Qingqiu to go first.

Zhao Zhongshu looked at the cars in the yard and said to Qingqiu: "My car is more convenient, you should take my car." Qingqiu naturally knows that Zhao Zhongshu's car can go unimpeded in Shanghai, that place must be guarded, Qingqiu thought Just nodded here, and got into Zhao Zhongshu's car.Zhao Zhongshu whispered something to the driver, sat in the driver's seat himself, started the car and drove away.

The two of them were silent all the way, Zhao Zhongshu saw Qingqiu's head down in dissatisfaction from the rearview mirror, he suddenly twisted the rearview mirror and said to Qingqiu: "Don't worry about my skills, don't you ladies all like it?" Do you touch up your makeup on the car, the road in front of you is very smooth, I guarantee that there won’t be any accidents causing you to get your lipstick on.” He also deliberately tapped on the rearview mirror.Qingqiu looked up at Zhao Zhongshu in confusion, and she subconsciously asked: "Why do you still need to use lipstick while driving?"

You cried when you came out, won't you put some powder on your face?Zhao Zhongshu stared at Qingqiu's face from the mirror, and couldn't help turning his head to look at her.It's really strange, Zhao Zhongshu has seen a lot of women of all kinds, those so-called socialites and courtesans who are ladies or in the social arena, there are also dancers, concubines who are raised by others, and even his own sister. China, the so-called intellectual women studying abroad.Which one of them doesn't wear foundation on their faces, and they look very good from a distance, white is white, red is red.Later, Zhao Zhongshu slowly discovered that he had never seen those women without makeup.Sometimes he would mockingly think, if one day Zhao Yihan, Song Xiuzhi and the women who usually appear around him don't wear makeup, how many people can he still know.

But compared to those women who regard their face as a palette, Qingqiu is a master of all kinds. She should have put a lot of effort into makeup, and the makeup is the same as without makeup.

Only then did Qingqiu understand what Zhao Zhongshu meant, she said angrily and amusedly: "I'm not going to a real banquet, and I still have to dress up? You are different from before, and you are also clear about the makeup and powder in the boudoir It’s too much.” Along the way, Qingqiu’s heart became even more confused, the threats and pressures over there had already made Qingqiu feel ashamed and angry, and when Zhao Zhongshu mentioned that Mrs. Bai might know about this, Qingqiu’s heart became even more confused.She couldn't imagine how she would face her family if her parents-in-law and elders knew about it.Along the way, Qingqiu's heart was full of ups and downs and mixed feelings. She thought for a while that if the other side still insisted on threatening her, she would certainly not want to abuse herself and do something disgraceful.The big deal is that even if you die, you won't be able to make the wicked people get what they want.But on second thought, although death is easy, what should we do without the child and Bai Shaoyi?If they took their anger out on Bai Shaoyi and the child, wouldn't she have killed the whole family.Suddenly Qingqiu worried again that if the elders in the family knew about it, they would think she was indiscreet.Zheng Qingqiu felt like a fish who had mistakenly searched the Internet, and there was no way out.When she was burning inside and her mind was lingering, she was amused by Zhao Zhongshu's words.When she came out, she didn't think about being gorgeously decorated, and her face was completely unpainted.

Zhao Zhongshu was teased by Qingqiu, he turned his face to look at Qingqiu carefully in surprise, and said with a smile: "I used to think that it was an exaggeration to say that the hibiscus comes out of the clear water to carve naturally, there is no perfect person in the world. Unexpectedly, I was blinded by a leaf and didn't realize that there was such a natural beauty beside me. I was really hurt by them before."

Who are they?Qingqiu's heart moved: "Who are they? You can just say this in front of me. If you want to carve it naturally, you should go home and tell your wife. Maybe it will make Xiuzhi happy, and she won't stay still. I'm angry with you. You are really strange. Although you have your own reasons for setting up your family in Nanjing, Shanghai is not a tiger's den and Longtan really can't stay. You might as well take Xiuzhi to live for a few days to save her Nanjing is full of resentment, I am worried that you are thinking about other people's makeup, makeup." Qingqiu listened to Bai Shaoyi and Zhao Yihan talking about Zhao Zhongshu's love affair, it seemed that he still didn't restrain himself after he got married, and the Yingying, Yanyan, and Yanyan around him were full of flowers. .

Qingqiu secretly thought that Xiuzhi's anger might be due to her sad husband's indifference, and that's why she was angry with Zhao Yihan, looking for awkwardness everywhere.Qingqiu wants to persuade Zhao Zhongshu to restrain his mind and stop messing around, unlike before.Unexpectedly, he was dragged into himself, an unnatural smile flashed across Zhao Zhongshu's face, the corner of his mouth twitched and he changed the subject: "You don't need to hold on to the determination to die this time, with Shao Yi and I here, they Don’t dare to do anything about it. In fact, that person is also a literati with a temperament, and he thinks he is a romantic talent. He may just want to ask you to talk about poetry and painting, or other meanings. But as a person, he still can’t do it. Things that other people wish." Zhao Zhongshu glanced at the small handbag that Qingqiu was holding all the time, implying that she should not do stupid things.Qingqiu was caught by Zhao Zhongshu, and she felt a little embarrassed on her face, "You are really scary, you can't escape your eyes, I don't want to do anything, but I just felt it for the first time today. I can't do anything about myself, I used to think that I could be my own master. But in the end, I was still a helpless grass man, I hate that I couldn't be born as a man, so I can come out and create a world." Qingqiu smiled wryly, she At the beginning, she was very happy to come to this world. This world calls for equality between men and women, and she can go to school now.During this time in Shanghai, Qingqiu saw quite a few women who came out to work and could support themselves without looking at others. Although she didn't come out to do things like those professional women to support their families.Firstly, the children at home have to be taken care of, and Bai Shaoyi is reluctant to let Qingqiu go out to do errands.Qingqiu is often free to help with proofreading and other work, as well as her usual manuscript fee, which is an objective sum of money accumulated daily.The happy life and the enlightened social atmosphere give Qingqiu a sense of confidence that life is beautiful and everything is under control.

Unexpectedly, when she encountered such a thing suddenly, Qingqiu suddenly discovered that everything she thought was fundamental was just a mirror image, like a bubble in water that suddenly shattered.Zhao Zhongshu listened to Qingqiu's words, of course he didn't know what Qingqiu was thinking, so he casually comforted her: "How can there be so much reason in this troubled world? I was born in the military and was sent to a military academy since I was a child. To your Shaoyi The set of beliefs is very disapproving. Freedom and equality are all made up to deceive people. If you have a gun, you are the king of grass. Look at this world, if everyone obeys the law, it will not be in such a mess, will it?"

After listening to Zhao Zhongshu's words, Qingqiu became silent. She smacked her taste in silence, and sighed for a long time: "Hey, I am really a woman who has never seen the world. I am in a troubled world but dreaming of being in a prosperous world. It's ridiculous."

Zhao Zhongshu heard Qingqiu's tone very sad, and hurriedly said: "Please don't cry, although I can be called a hard-hearted person, I can't bear to see you cry."

Qingqiu was busy restraining her emotions, and she glanced at Zhao Zhongshu not in a good mood: "You can drive safely, but I hate that I can't drive. If I can drive, I definitely don't want a half-hearted person like you to drive. When did I like to cry? "

Yes, it's all my fault, I'm concentrating on driving and please don't be angry, my wife, if you despise me, I will lose my livelihood.Seeing Qingqiu's relaxed expression, Zhao Zhongshu joked to her and started laughing.

The car left the urban area of ​​Shanghai and was driving along a concrete road at high speed, Qingqiu couldn't help but feel a little worried when he saw the increasingly desolate scenery outside.She summoned up the courage to ask, "Didn't they say they invited me to drink tea? It should be in a restaurant? Why did I come to this place?"

"I asked those two people, and they admitted that inviting you to a restaurant for tea was just a way to delay the attack. They were worried that you would not go, so they lied to you that you were in a restaurant. In fact, they were planning to change lanes directly when they arrived at the restaurant or on the road. , to bring you here. This place used to be a military camp, but it was converted into some kind of training base. In fact, it is not the same thing. It is a place where they hold meetings to discuss things in secret. You can rest assured that they dare not do anything." Zhao Zhongshu Holding the steering wheel full of confidence, a glimmer of coldness flashed in his eyes.Qingqiu felt even more uneasy when he heard Zhao Zhongshu's words.

Zhao Zhongshu was lazily sitting on the sofa in the hall, fiddling with a delicate lighter in his hand, with the tinkling sound of the piano, the sterling silver lighter cover was closed and lifted, and an orange flame jumped out in a short while. It will go out in a while. "Mr. Zhao, please have coffee." With a charming voice, a gorgeously dressed woman came over with a tray, and put a cup of coffee in front of Zhao Zhongshu's eyes.A smell of perfume went straight to the nose, Zhao Zhongshu leaned back as if disgusted, as if the woman had an infectious disease, Zhao Zhongshu didn't lift his eyelids, and said coldly: "I'm not used to drinking coffee, you can change it Tea."

What?The woman's slightly upturned eyes held surprise, she smiled delicately and leaned on the armrest of the sofa beside Zhao Zhongshu, her bright red lips moved close to Zhao Zhongshu's ear: "Hey, Mr. Zhao really has a sense of humor, people say Mr. Zhao is different from other officers. You have come back from abroad. You have been eating bread and drinking foreign ink since you were a child. Why did Mr. Zhao suddenly like to drink tea? Don’t be disgusted with this coffee. Don’t worry, this is very light French Even the coffee beans are specially transported from France by the master chef. Why should Mr. Zhao have a taste of it? Although we are all vulgar fans, we are not as good as the lady brought by Mr. Zhao. But I really admire Mr. Zhao." The woman sat down next to Zhao Zhongshu, she was soft and boneless, and she wanted to lean on him.

Zhao Zhongshu threw the woman out fiercely, picked up the cup of coffee and threw it at the woman fiercely: "Don't think that this is on your territory, I dare not do anything! It stands out, I really don't know what your director is doing. He must have smoked too much and his brain is full of shit. Get out, don't be an eyesore!" The woman got up from the ground in a state of embarrassment. The cheongsam and Jingxin's permed hair were all splashed with coffee, and even a lot of makeup on her face was lost. All the colors on her face were mixed together, like a trash can, filled with all kinds of Rubbish.

The woman was frightened by Zhao Zhongshu's aura, and she ran away in despair.A short and fat man in a suit slowly walked out of the shadows, and he cupped his hands at Zhao Zhongshu with a half-smile: "I didn't expect to see Mr. Zhao here. I heard that Mr. Zhao has been promoted recently. It's great." Congratulations. I arranged a banquet at the back as a small gesture, and I would like to invite Mr. Zhao to appreciate it."

"I've heard that you should change your family, but I didn't expect you to be a small director. I won't drink your wine. I always keep my promises." Zhao Zhongshu stood up and stared at the man. human eye.

His face was brushed off, and the person who came here was obviously a bit shameless. He glanced at Zhao Zhongshu with his small cloudy eyes, and said in a strange way: "People say that Mr. Zhao is the real king of Shanghai. I didn't expect you to have such a heart of sympathy. Ken will accompany—" The man looked in the direction of the stairs, and there were two bodyguards in black standing on the stairs, staring blankly at everything that happened in the hall.

"You should know that the leader has to be courteous to the gentleman. Who would have hatred for the rich and powerful? Do you know that if the gentleman is willing, he can send people to heaven or sink to hell forever. Mr. Which lady is really moved, that woman doesn't want to be the first lady? I advise you to stop being pedantic, and a person who knows current affairs is a hero." That person persuaded Zhao Zhongshu not to get involved.

Zhao Zhongshu looked at that person coldly, his face was full of disdain that he didn't want to hide, a sound of footsteps came from the stairs, Qingqiu was coming down the stairs gracefully, Zhao Zhongshu immediately stared at Qingqiu intently, wanting to get out of her face Found clues to write on the Internet.Qingqiu's expression remained the same. When she reached the stairs, she raised her head and met Zhao Zhongshu's eyes. Qingqiu smiled slightly, and walked over slowly with her handbag in her hand: "I told you to wait for a long time, let's go home." Zhao Zhongshu didn't agree. Looking at other people, he nodded to Qingqiu and followed her.Waiting for the car to drive out of the big black iron gate, Qingqiu's whole body went limp. She leaned on the back of the chair and let out a long sigh of relief: "It's a narrow escape. I was worried when I went in. I'm fine now." !"

Zhao Zhongshu stared at Qingqiu in the rearview mirror, and wanted to ask her the details after going up, but he still didn't open his mouth after thinking about it.Qingqiu seemed to be extremely tired on the road, she leaned back and looked out the window wearily.Everyone was silent along the way, and returned to Qingqiu's home quickly.

Waiting for the car to drive into the yard, Bai Shaoyi's car was already in the yard, Qingqiu was a little surprised, thinking to himself that Bai Shaoyi always had a lot of things to do in the past few days and came back very late.Why is it so early today?Seeing Qingqiu coming in, Mama Zhang stepped forward nervously: "Madam is back, something happened at home!"

Hearing this, Qingqiu grabbed Zhang Ma nervously and asked: "What's the matter, how is Shaoyi?" Before Zhang Ma could speak, Bai Shaoyi had already come out of the study.

"Someone sent me a threatening letter. I was worried that something would happen to you, so I rushed home. You went out with Lao Zhao!" Bai Shaoyi's eyes fell on Zhao Zhongshu.
