Golden Pink Building

Listening to Bai Shaoyi's words, Qingqiu couldn't help frowning, Zhao Zhonghua was also going to the Ministry of Communications as a legal consultant, wouldn't Bai Shaoyi be embarrassed.It must be that Shaoyi was worried about Zhao Yihan's relationship in order to reassure herself. Qingqiu was relieved very quickly. She gently supported Bai Shaoyi's shoulders and asked him to sit down: "That's fine, I couldn't bear to see you With so many positions at the same time, the life at home is very easy to live without having to work so hard. I just see that you are very happy, and I can't bear to ask you to go home. I also understand your professionalism. But this is the end of the matter, we don't have to Stay there. Others in the province will comment, saying that you are greedy for this good job, and you don’t care about your previous affection.”

Bai Shaoyi still feels a little sorry for losing this fat job: "This consultant is also helpful in my legal career, but the drunkard's intention is not to drink, and you should know why I feel distressed." Bai Shaoyi is not greedy, but in the public bond market A little bit of inside information, just toss around casually, and I really have a lot of calmness on hand.Recently, a lot of things have been added to the family. Qingqiu likes antiques and rare books. He spends more casually, and can give Qingqiu some small gifts from time to time.Money is such a good thing.Thinking of this, Bai Shaoyi raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and said mockingly: "Gold and silver are really magic weapons for sex transfer. I thought I was a person who could resist the temptation of money, but I was still a little bit unwilling."

Qingqiu knows that Bai Shaoyi is a bit reluctant to part with the extra money, being a legal consultant means spending money on transportation, New Year's hard work, gifts and so on. The real big deal is getting inside information and speculating in the bond market.She is in charge of the family's finances, and she knows that she has indeed earned a lot during this period: "Money is something external to the body. If you don't bring it with you when you die, you used to boast that you can not be tempted, but now you are a bit unwilling. It shows that money is greedy. I read it very well. If this goes on like this, I might even forget the original intention of what I did. Fortunately, you can understand, and you can still restrain your greed and not lose yourself. I always feel that public debt is unreliable. It’s just right to take advantage of this opportunity to get away. You are still thinking about how long the windfall will last.” In the bond market, they made a lot of money, but fortunately, Qingqiu and Bai Shaoyi saw it clearly, and they didn’t put their minds on it. lost nature.

"What's the second thing about inside information? In fact, I regret that I will lose a chance to exercise myself in the future. You know that railway construction is an extremely prosperous business recently. Foreign consortium banks are not stupid, and many railways have been involved. Those The rich local landlords, Mr. Qiu Ba, are foolish enough to sign contracts with others. They sold themselves and helped them count the money.” Bai Shaoyi is very ambitious and wants to do things more, but Zhao Zhonghua wants to come, he can only do it. quit.

"Listen to you usually saying that Mr. Zhao is a very prestigious person in the legal field, he will definitely not deal with it indiscriminately." Qingqiu comforted Bai Shaoyi, seeing that there was no one in the room, Qingqiu quietly leaned into Bai Shaoyi's ear and whispered She said: "I accept your kindness, and I would like to thank you very much." Qingqiu knew that Bai Shaoyi was worried about Zhao Yihan's relationship, so she immediately decided to resign from the position of consultant.After all, Zhao Zhonghua was well-known in the legal circle, and Bai Shaoyi didn't need to resign immediately for the two positions of consultants.

"It's good that you know my painstaking efforts, how do you want to thank me?" Bai Shaoyi took Qingqiu's arm and stuck to her body, sticking to Qingqiu with a shameless face.Bai Shaoyi rested her head on Qingqiu's shoulder, her claws restlessly moved upwards slowly from Qingqiu's waist, and when she was about to overstep the limit, Qingqiu let out a coquettish sound, and ruthlessly knocked off her restless claws.

Bai Shaoyi was not reconciled to persistent efforts: "What are you hiding, I want to get back the interest right now!" Qing Qiu dodged with a smile, and was making sweet-scented osmanthus come in: "Master, grandma is ready for dinner." Qing Qiu hid with a blushing face: "You still Make trouble, hurry up and eat. You are not going to be their consultant, and you should sort out the things at hand, isn't there less work?"

After the meal, Qingqiu still felt lazy, and she didn't dare to sleep right away, so she stood under the porch and watched the swallows make their nests, and followed the instructions of Osmanthus fragrans: "In the future, wait for the big swallow to come back before you put down the curtain." Bai Shaoyi Through the window, he smiled and said, "You are still thinking about the swallows under the beam. It's really interesting. Most people are afraid that the swallows will stain their newly painted walls."

Qingqiu opened the curtain and entered the room. She lay lazily on the bed and shook her fan slowly: "I think that pair of swallows worked so hard and flew far from the south to reach this place safely. It’s so easy to make a nest out of the soil, and give birth to children in it. Do you have the heart to drive them away?”

Bai Shaoyi also leaned on the bed, lying beside Qingqiu, looking at the top of the tent with her pillow on her hands: "You are right, my wife is compassionate and sympathetic to all beings. I never thought that life could be like this before. With you, I Only then did I realize that you don’t need to drink and drink every day, and you don’t need to struggle in the whirlpool all day. Qingqiu, I really want us to live every day like this.”

Qingqiu glanced at Bai Shaoyi, and suddenly remembered that she and Bai Shaoyi had gone to the ball of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but met several famous courtesans in the capital.One of them, Ms. Du, is very famous.She was born in a famous family, good-looking, well-taught, well-mannered, proficient in English, and omnipotent in playing piano, chess, calligraphy, and painting. Almost all the people present fell under her pomegranate skirt.Qingqiu has never seen a social occasion in this era, let alone imagined it.She didn't know that a married woman could go out to socialize and dance with different men every night.In the social arena, there is a lot of luxury and money, and there are countless gossip news.People like Bai Shaoyi, Mr. Pianpianjia, are really at home.

"Did you also want to be addicted to socializing before? I don't like superficial noise by nature. Such balls and receptions are certainly full of flowers, but there is no permanent banquet in a long shed for thousands of miles. Instead of sighing after the song ends , It’s better not to get together in the first place. But you need to know a lot of people, so it’s good to go to that kind of place often.” After a long time, they understand each other’s feelings very well, and Qingqiu is very relieved that Bai Shaoyi will go to such a place.It's just that sometimes Bai Shaoyi is still pursued by some women, faintly making Qingqiu unhappy.Fortunately, Bai Shaoyi is an extremely smooth person. He is a lawyer, and his insight into human nature is much sharper than ordinary people.That's why Bai Shaoyi won't stumble on this.

"Aren't you worried that my Hong Xing is cheating?" Bai Shaoyi looked at Qingqiu jokingly with her face crooked.In the past, Bai Shaoyi imagined her future life. She was young and energetic at the time. Under the influence of Zhao Yihan, Bai Shaoyi felt that success was the key to success in life.At that time, Bai Shaoyi would think that success is to be praised everywhere, to flatter with a smiley face everywhere, and life is to constantly strive for power, wealth and fame, and then show off in front of everyone.Later, as she grew older, Bai Shaoyi slowly realized that such success was just an empty shell.Waiting to be with Qingqiu, Bai Shaoyi found that she gradually paid less attention to utilitarianism.The current Bai Shaoyi does not reject socializing, nor does he want to be a hermit, but he has no restlessness and utilitarianism in his heart. Instead, he can handle things with ease and calmly deal with them. Several times in Bai Wenxin's letter to his son, it is said that Bai Shaoyi is now Sensible and calm.

Qingqiu closed his eyes and didn't look at Bai Shaoyi, just closed his eyes and pulled the quilt over: "Your feet are growing on your body, you are willing to go out of the wall, and you deserve it if you break your leg. What have I to do with you!"

Bai Shaoyi dotingly pulled Qingqiu into her arms: "My grandson monkey can't escape your palm, why did you take all the quilt away? Cover me too, I'm sick from cold, you should feel sorry for me. I Clearly, my father has had a bad reputation in the officialdom recently. They have no choice but to use diplomats as scapegoats for the affairs of Dalian and Qingdao. I belong to the bad luck. Ms. Du, people look down on a boring person like me."

Qingqiu was lying on the bed half asleep, and when she heard that Bai Shaoyi somehow got Miss Du involved, she opened her eyes suddenly, frowned and said seriously: "Fart! You still say that you are thinking about others Why does she look down on you. Anyway, there are many people who pursue her. She is a talented woman from a famous family, and I am just a bumpkin. Don’t compare her with me. Carefully, this otherworldly fairy will not be happy if she knows. I am just a Ordinary people can't compare to that sister Lin."

Seeing Qingqiu's angry look, Bai Shaoyi smiled and said: "I found out that you didn't hate her much before, why did you hate her more than Zhao Yihan in one night? Is it because someone said she was the reincarnation of Lin Daiyu? Just mention it casually and you will get angry. Or do you think that others are holding her to be better than Lin Daiyu? My wife is a talented woman. Really talented and learned people can only be modest, not as ostentatious as her. I don’t care what others say , I have no other ideas, I just want to tease you."

Qingqiu was told by Bai Shaoyi about the problems in the center, her face blushed, and she covered up and said: "What nonsense are you talking about! I don't know her well, so I don't want to confront anyone. It's just that I don't like people like her. Too It’s a bit frivolous. Her husband doesn’t live at home often, but she still goes out to socialize every day. The ball at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is just ambassadors and counselors from various countries, and there are some other guests. It’s just a gathering for everyone, not much political interest in it. But As for the other dances, I only went to a few times and knew that there was something wrong with them. Some people actually make a living by being brokers and buying news. There are complicated and intertwined interests. She just wants to show off and show off that she has a wide network A lot. But she doesn't think about her own reputation and her husband's situation. I just think that if she continues like this, she will get into trouble one day. Also, some people seem to have a bad reputation. Now she has talent, beauty, and family background Prominent, like a fish in water in the social arena, but——" Qingqiu remembered that Miss Bao's pornographic news would not be mentioned, in the social arena, there are always some pornographic news, and the more beautiful a woman is, the easier it is to be contaminated with right and wrong.Qingqiu thinks old-fashioned, and thinks it's better to keep a respectful distance.

"Don't worry, Ms. Du doesn't like me anyway. Naturally, there are talented people who will show their love in front of her. I just declined the invitation today. You think that my father is still in Shanghai. The history of the concession is complicated, and the government has no strength to take it back. Things are complicated there. It’s hard to say a word, and it’s not right. You haven’t heard anyone criticizing traitors in Dalian and Qingdao. Father is the easiest scapegoat. Some people immediately shouted when they saw the foreign concession Losing power and humiliating the country, but how to take it back, is it by force or by legal means? Once this place is taken back, what will happen to other places? All countries have concessions in China. How do they react? Even in China, many people rely on the concessions to live and make a fortune. If the truth is taken back firmly, how can the countries give up, and the world will be in chaos." Bai Shaoyi couldn't help but feel worried when thinking about the recent reviews in the newspapers.

Qingqiu knew what he was talking about: "I saw a newspaper signed by Dufu, and the style of writing looked very familiar. I felt that this person seemed to deliberately point the finger at his father. To put it bluntly, how much can a father decide on national affairs?" Power, it’s not just doing my best to deal with it according to the government’s wishes.”

"Of course I'm familiar with it. My friends in the newspaper said that Mr. Dufu is Ouyang Yujian. His views have become more radical recently. Don't you know that Darwin's theory of evolution has suddenly become popular in schools recently, and he has a good understanding of biology. The theory got distorted in the mouths of those in Ouyang. They said that young people, especially students, are products of evolution, that new ones are better than old ones, that professors are eliminated, and politicians are panting zombies. They are young talents It is the hope of China's future. Listening to their words, it seems that after thirty, it is the dregs of human beings." Bai Shaoyi described Ouyang's deeds with a half-smile.

Qingqiu frowned displeased, recently Ouyang Yujian returned to school, Qingqiu deliberately avoided suspicion, she used to go to the law school to find Bai Shaoyi, now Qingqiu doesn't set foot there at all.For the news of the law school, Chu Huan was limited to a few words. "Is it really so troublesome? What does he want to do?" Ouyang was very provocative, and Bai Shaoyi's life at school was definitely not as comfortable as before.Qingqiu stared at Bai Shaoyi's calm face, and said worriedly: "Did he cause trouble for you? I hate the villain. I didn't expect that there would be someone who is a good-looking person, but he is a villain who seeks personal revenge and narrow-mindedness. What a hypocrite! When will he move to the world?" Yi, we still have to throw the mouse at the mouse." Qingqiu suddenly remembered that when Ouyang Yujian pursued him but was rejected, he might not be able to vent his anger on Bai Shaoyi, but it seemed that he had caused Bai Shaoyi to suffer.Thinking of this, Qingqiu hated Ouyang for being narrow-minded, and was even more sad that Bai Shaoyi was harmed innocently. She felt that she had been tolerant and low-key, and was coveted and framed by villains, so she couldn't help crying sadly.

"Why are you crying? He is a thorn. The professors and students in the school know that speech is free, but the school's rules are still in place. Ouyang Yujian can only express opinions and cannot influence academic affairs. In class, we do not discuss things that have nothing to do with the course. Something. I don't need to confront him head-on. If you really love me, you might as well thank me well. Waiting for the summer vacation, let's put aside our worries and go sightseeing." Bai Shaoyi grinned, There is no expression of anger and sadness at all.

"If I want to implicate you, I would be worse off alone." Qingqiu said sadly as she fell on Bai Shaoyi's chest, sobbing.

"What are you talking about? I must marry you. I can't even protect my own wife! You are a choice to fight for. You are still single if you want to. Ouyang Yujian has Lao Zhao's son-in-law and the prime minister. The background of the illegitimate child, how could that villain let you go so easily. I think Ouyang Yujian don’t look at the radical thoughts that are full of mouth. He is simply greedy for profit. When he pursued you, he had a little respect and equality, and he looked superior He treats you like an ignorant child, not just looking at your family background, only widowed mother depends on life. He thinks he is nobler than you in life. But for Zhao Yihan, he is always accommodating, wishing to treat her like a Buddha statue When enshrined, he really loves Zhao Yihan, but he was suppressed by Zhao Yihan's identity and aura. The most terrifying thing is that this kind of taming comes from the heart and subconsciously. It can be seen that this person's power is born. If you are still single Wouldn't a person be bullied by him for nothing?" Bai Shaoyi pierced Ouyang Yujian's heart with blood.

"Hey, we can bear the temporary anger now. I just feel tired recently, so I might as well ask the school for a few days off." Qingqiu thinks about it, and Ouyang Yu will only cause troubles for the current plan. It's better to avoid the sharp edge and watch the future situation. "Don't worry, if you are tired, you can rest for a few days. His tricks are still not in my eyes. I heard something. The girl Xiuzhu told me mysteriously that she saw Zhao Yihan and Zhao Yihan on the street. Liu Baoshan is together. Liu Baoshan is a well-known broker and the publisher of inside information on public debt. He has been hanging out with several young masters of the Jin family before. He and Zhao Yihan are nothing more than inside information on public debt. This matter will be resolved sooner or later. When the trouble broke out, at that time the fame of Old Zhao Yishi was ruined. What else can Ouyang do?" Bai Shaoyi's eyes flickered, and he patted Qingqiu's shoulder lightly.

"Yeah, although I don't know much about economics, thanks to you, I also learned how to make public debt for a few days, which is a bit interesting. The reason why inside information is inside information is that few people know about it. She made a fuss about collecting information fees. The city is full of wind and rain, dealers and retail investors are not happy. How will it end if you provoke public anger? But why did Zhao Yihan spread the news and not do it himself?" Qingqiu has a clear understanding of the greed of people.

"Madam is really a wonderful person. Maybe Zhao Yihan doesn't want to do public debt, but she doesn't have the capital." Bai Shaoyi immediately flattered Qingqiu. "Young Master, Master has sent a telegram from Shanghai. The matter in the concession has been successfully concluded. Master's position as Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs has been resigned." Zhang Ma learned a lesson and did not dare to go in casually. She stood under the window and faced the room. Shout out the good news.

"Mother Zhang, come in, let's get up. Did father say when he will be back?" Bai Shaoyi and Qingqiu hurriedly got up, and Mama Zhang came in and said beamingly, "I will arrive in Beijing in three days. I just called from Prime Minister Jin's house, please young master." Go have dinner with grandma."

Shao Yi asked Zhang Ma to go out, and faced Qing Qiu who was adjusting her makeup in the mirror: "Look, no one asks you if you are poor in the downtown area, but you have distant relatives in the deep mountains when you are rich."

"The warmth and coldness of human beings are nothing more than that. It is easy to make icing on the cake, but it is difficult to give charcoal in the snow. You just need to know it in your heart, and you can just talk about these things yourself. People value face most, so why not give face to others." Qingqiu also smiled helplessly. Since Jin Quan treats guests, they He also accepted it frankly.

In the evening, Bai Shaoyi and Qingqiu prepared gifts and went to Jin Quan's house as guests. When they first entered the door, they saw Yufen coming out with a smile on their face.She was used to seeing Yufen's cynicism, and suddenly seeing her amiable and amiable was a bit unreal. "Cousin and sister-in-law are here, mother is waiting for you to go in quickly." Yufen came up to meet her, took Qingqiu's hand and said earnestly: "I was confused before, and I was careful when I was ill. Think about it, I have wronged you in many places before, and I will apologize to you in front of my cousin."

Qingqiu was surprised inwardly, but said with a smile on his face: "Why didn't I know that you offended me? I've seen people picking up money, but I haven't seen people vying for money. I heard that you've been sick these days, but we didn't Gu Shang sees you." Bai Shaoyi echoed from the side: "Recently, there are many things at school, so I can't come here in person. Is cousin Peng Zhen here?"

Yufen saw that Qingqiu and Bai Shaoyi were both amicable and not displeased at all, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, she smiled and let Qingqiu and Bai Shaoyi go inside: "Thank you for thinking, I have nothing serious, just feel tired and rest at home for a few days God. The elder sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law are happy events. Our family can't stay at home, but he is still at home today. I have a few theater tickets for tomorrow, why don't we go to the theater."

Without waiting for Qingqiu to decline, Bai Shaoyi said first: "I don't have time to watch the show, my father and mother are coming back, and we still have a lot of things to do. Wait until you have time later." Said Mei Li and ran out with a smile: "I will It is said that cousin and sister-in-law are here, how can third sister-in-law run faster than me." Said Meili took Qingqiu's arm and started laughing with her.

Both Jin Quan and Mrs. Jin were there. Seeing his nephew and his wife coming in, Jin Quan had a look of excitement on his face: "Do you know the news about your father's promotion? Is the president not influenced by those bastard words? Deputy Minister. In fact, I think that with your father's ability, it is possible to be a minister. I called you husband and wife here today to tell you about this, and second, I have something to tell you. "

Mrs. Jin interrupted Jin Quan's words in a hurry: "Dinner is ready, let's eat first. It's rare that everything is ready today, let's eat together." The people below are all there.Jin Quan put down his pipe, fell silent for a while and said in a deep voice, "Since the wife has spoken, let's eat."

After the meal, Mrs. Jin's young ladies and grandmas all talked to Qingqiu in Mrs. Jin's living room. Yufen changed her normal routine, and no longer held guns and sticks to Qingqiu, but warmed up instead.She pulled Qingqiu and pointed at Yanxi and said, "Did you see that a young master, Lao Qi, is hanging around with us. He obviously wants to inquire about news with your sister-in-law. In the future, when Xiu Zhu and Lao Qi get married, he will I want to call you sister-in-law."

Now Xiuzhu and Jin Yanxi are back to the same situation as before. It may be that Jin Yanxi went around and found that she and Xiuzhu are the ones who really have a chat, and Xiuzhu is not as important as before. Yanxi is gone, with Tang Lide's help, and other love rivals who appear from time to time.On the contrary, Yanxi's attitude towards Xiuzhu became better.Usually when Xiuzhu and Qingqiu talked, the meaning revealed in the conversation was more towards Yanxi, although Qingqiu felt that Yanxi was not a good match for Xiuzhu, but she couldn't hold back Xiuzhu's willingness, so she could only pretend to be confused.

"Now we talk about free love, and they have to decide their own affairs. Our school is going to take exams, and I haven't visited my aunt for a long time." Qingqiu knew well that Yufen must have figured out something, or got some news before condescending to her. The expensive ones make friends with her.Qingqiu hates Yufen's behavior, but she doesn't want to make a scene too stiff, and just perfunctory in a lukewarm way.Mrs. Jin said with a smile: "You still have to go to school, of course you have a lot of things to do. Look at our family, the young mistresses have nothing to do all day long, and the young ladies have to go to school. Everyone is like a hero. The family affairs It doesn't matter. No wonder your mother-in-law likes you very much, she is more sensible and capable than them."

Mrs. Jin changed the subject: "Xiufang and Huichang are inconvenient, let's go to rest first. What are you doing here, Yanxi? You don't read well. If you wander around all day carefully, your father will say you." Seeing Mrs. Jin After driving people away, everyone walked away in a sensible manner.Soon there were only Qingqiu and Mrs. Jin left in the room.Mrs. Jin said slowly: "You should also know that Zhao Yihan's father went to the Ministry of Communications as a consultant. I persuaded the Prime Minister for a long time because of this. Whether it is a relative nephew or an inexplicable so-called in-law is important. However, the Prime Minister listened to others You know about our family, if he is my child, I can say that he scolds him. It’s just—hey, I can only pretend that I don’t know. You and Shao Yiqian Don't think otherwise. In my heart, you are the same as Shao Yi and my own child."

Qingqiu said with a smile: "What does my aunt say? Shaoyi has a lot of things to do. I just feel powerless to hold so many positions at the same time. It's good to push down one of them. We naturally trust uncle and aunt. As for other people and other things, we don't care. Take it to heart. Uncle is the prime minister, and he holds a high position, so he has so many eyes on him, so naturally he can't be too partial to his relatives." Seeing what Qingqiu said, Mrs. Jin was a little relieved.

When Jin Quan wanted to pull Zhao Yihan's father away, Mrs. Jin was absolutely unwilling, but Jin Quan didn't know what kind of ecstasy he had taken. As soon as Mrs. Jin said it, she said with a sullen face that Mrs. Jin's obstruction was because of Ouyang and Cousin Lan. matter.The angry Mrs. Jin stopped talking.Knowing that Bai Shaoyi had resigned as a consultant, Mrs. Jin was even more upset, and couldn't help complaining to her husband: "You know what happened to Zhao Yihan and Shaoyi in the past, but you still put Lao Zhao in the Ministry of Communications, isn't that embarrassing to my sister's family? "

Jin Quan suddenly thought of something, patted his head and said, "I've been so dizzy recently about talking about the foreign concessions, I actually forgot about it. How can this be good?"

It just so happened that when news of Bai Wenxin's promotion to vice minister came out, Jin Quan followed Mrs. Jin's suggestion and invited his nephew and his wife to dinner.By the way, listen to their tone.

It turns out that Qingqiu is a crystal-hearted person. She looked at Jin Quan and didn't know that the public opinion criticizing traitors and traitors was aroused from Ouyang Yujian.Qingqiu thought about it in his heart.Gossip with Mrs. Jin, and soon after Bai Shaoyi and Jin Quan finished talking, they came to pick her up and go home.

"What kind of medicine do you think Yufen took wrongly? Almost scared me." Bai Shaoyi asked suspiciously.

"I'm also wondering, could it be that she knows you have inside information? If so, she should curry favor with Zhao Yihan now, why is she so close to us?" Qingqiu was also puzzled.
