Costume Mountains and Rivers

Mo Qinghe never expected that Shen Peinan would invite Mo Liuchu to his home as a guest, and never thought that his words of trying his best to please him would be heard by the seniors in the cloakroom. Mo Qinghe slowly sat up straight from Shen Peinan's arms, I wish I could go back in time and start over again.

But there was no chance, he and Mo Liuchu looked at each other across the grand hall and the square beech wood floors, both pale and speechless.

I haven't seen him in three months, but Mo Liuchu is still the same, with a long face, tall figure, the corners of his eyes are raised a little, and he looks very fair and heroic.Wearing the most common woven silk shirt, the neckline was soaked with sweat, and his hair was shaved very short. Probably because of the hot weather, his forehead kept dripping sweat, and he raised his slender eyes and stared at Mo Qinghe in a daze.

Mo Qinghe's brain roared, and she finally pulled out a thread from the mess, which was shame for her behavior, and another thread, which was hatred for Shen Peinan.His face was burning, as if he was not here because of the mission, but because he was caught for adultery and his self-esteem was completely destroyed.

He moved his butt on the sofa twice, twisted his hands, and managed to squeeze out an awkward smile: "Brother, why are you here, is your foot injury better?"

Mo Liuchu stood where he was, his voice was very clean, like white bamboo shoots, and he said politely, "I'm still a little lame, but it's okay now."

"A few days ago, I heard that you were injured and hospitalized. I wrote to the family to ask for a visit. Master Shen sent a car to pick me up early this morning."

"Oh, the general is very thoughtful." Mo Qinghe opened his mouth, he felt stupid when he heard himself say that, and his expression must be stupid too, he wanted to shrink himself and melt into the surrounding air Go here, as long as Mo Liuchu doesn't see it, as long as this catastrophe can be avoided.

Mo Liuchu didn't answer, hesitation, doubt, heartache, anger, struggle and other emotions flashed in his eyes one by one, and he was suppressed again. He bowed to Shen Peinan according to the old etiquette, respectfully said: "Shen Peinan Hello General."

When he bowed and lowered his head, Mo Qinghe trembled involuntarily as if being pricked by a quenched needle.

Shen Peinan was very aware of the difference between his identity and his own, so he didn't stand up to greet him, but made a slight gesture to the single sofa next to him, and said, "Mr. Mo is here, please sit down."

He took out two cigarettes from the cigarette box, one for himself and the other for Mo Liuchu, but Mo Liuchu said no, so he didn't persuade him any more, and leaned over to Qing He to let him light a cigarette, and smoked slowly a mouthful.

"Mr. Mo asked to visit earlier, but I didn't agree. One is that Xiao Mo's injury needs to be recuperated. The two of you have a very close friendship. It is really unusual for Mr. Mo to come and leave without saying a few words; the other is that the hospital eats too much. Poor, I'm afraid I'll neglect you sir, why don't you meet at home seriously, and I'll treat you well, too."

Shen Peinan asked Mrs. Jin to make a pot of Longjing, flicked the ashtray twice, and looked at Mo Liuchu with interest: "I really like this kid, Mr. Of course, Mr. is also a distinguished guest of my family. In the morning, a fresh shad came from Tianjin." I asked the cook to steam the fish, and I asked Quanjude to give me two ducks, all because Xiao Mo was mischievous and took my gun to play, and I was in the hospital watching him eat noodles every day, today I can ask Mr. Lai to cook some meat."

Mo Qinghe looked at Shen Peinan, he seldom talked so much, he seemed to be in a particularly good mood, but Qinghe couldn't rest assured, he suspected that Shen Peinan was taking the opportunity to test out that he and Liu Chu played well, because he betrayed his favor, If the acting went wrong, Mo Qinghe bit his lip, he didn't even dare to think about it.

After thinking about it, Mo Qinghe suppressed all the grievances, snatched the cigarette from Shen Peinan's hand with a smile and extinguished it, and scolded him: "You should smoke two less, and see if I will let you touch it if you smell like cigarettes." .”

Shen Peinan put his hands behind Mo Qinghe and wrapped his arms around his waist. Qinghe twisted her body to avoid him, but was caught again. Shen Peinan's palm was wide and rough. Gently rubbing on his legs, it was cool, his fingers were long and thin but the knuckles were obvious.

Mo Liuchu avoided his eyes unnaturally, and when he lowered his head, he saw the shiny ring on Mo Qinghe's middle finger, and he said in a low voice: "Seeing the relationship between the two of you, I'm very glad that my junior has a good home. "

"After Master left, Qing He has been taken care of by no one. Although I want to protect him, I am powerless as an opera singer. At most, I can help out on stage. Now that the general likes him, I feel relieved."

Compared with Mo Qinghe's femininity, Mo Liuchu is much more masculine, and if he is serious, he can stand on the stage.He crossed his hands on his knees, praised his junior for being kind, and praised Shen Peinan for being approachable and approachable, without the pretensions of a teacher.

But behind the scenes, he almost jumped up in anger. In the past, Mo Qinghe performed many tasks, and the time limit was very short. Sometimes it was over after a meal and a dance. The longest time was only five or six days. It's not like being locked up by this bandit for three months now. The most annoying thing is that Shen Peinan enjoys whoring and doesn't plan to return his Qinghe for a while.

He kept telling himself that Mo Qinghe was performing a mission, and all of this was for faith, but the image of Mo Qinghe acting like a baby in Shen Peinan's arms kept flashing through his mind. Seeing that he was acting, he panicked.

Sitting in the luxurious living room, Mo Liuchu, the more he looked at the two people opposite, the more he felt like a western painting, one was decent and dignified, the other was gentle and docile, but he was superfluous, his sweat-soaked shirt was redundant and bandaged The feet are also redundant.He wished that this was a theater, in which he was a hero, but when he stepped off the stage, he was a crippled bear, there was nothing he could do.

His eyes glanced at the lily silk flowers on the corner cabinet. Underneath was a diamond-studded bracelet with a pearl net. If it was worn on the head of a drunken concubine, it would look like a messy star.

He began to hate himself for pushing Qing He in. After all, belief is one thing, but seeing himself being cuckolded is another.

Shen Peinan was not at ease over there. He felt that Mo Qinghe should have been allowed to visit and comfort his relatives after he suffered such a great crime. Feeling the discomfort of being coveted by others, he deliberately wanted to show his kindness to this annoying senior brother.

He put away his usual unsmiling demeanor, concentrated on discussing the weather and current situation with him, asked how his foot injury was getting better, and lamented that he had never heard of Mr. Mo's play, and finally brought the topic to Mo Qinghe, saying that his wound How entangled when in pain, how innocent when listening to stories.

These three people sat and talked face to face, all smiling, but the belly lawsuit had been fought so much, Mo Qinghe was exhausted, he was afraid that Liu Chu would be jealous and show his feet, he was afraid that his heart would be misunderstood by him, and he was afraid that Shen Peinan would find him and Liu Chu I endured the distress and grievances to appease both sides, with so many expressions that even the cheek muscles ached.

It happened that Lao Liu sent a large glass bowl filled with crushed ice cubes, and watermelons dug into balls were placed on the top, which were moist red and crystal white, very cool and gratifying.Mo Liuchu praised the cook in the general's mansion for his attention to detail, Shen Peinan and him were humble, it was obviously just a bowl of watermelon, being pushed back and forth like Tai Chi, no one moved for a long time.

Mo Qinghe felt that she was going to die of exhaustion, and immediately refused to let anyone, grabbed the bowl, grabbed the spoon and buried her head in eating.

In fact, he doesn't stick to details, in order to impress Shen Peinan as a little girl, he usually can't avoid putting his orchid fingers up and pretending, but when he gets angry, he forgets about it, and the food rattles, Shen Peinan and Mo Liuchu heard the sound and stared at him together.

Mo Qinghe ate and found that her talking stopped, and when she looked up and saw both of them looking at her, she was startled, stuffed her mouth full of watermelon, and muttered angrily: "What are you looking at me for, can't I be hot!"

Shen Peinan lived in Zhou Rubai's mansion in Beiping, and the cook belonged to Zhou's family. He was very good at making some authentic Beiping snacks. At noon, he busily set up a large table of dishes and opened a bottle of brandy to celebrate Mo Qinghe's discharge from the hospital. It can be regarded as a welcome for Mo Liuchu.

The atmosphere of the dinner was not pleasant. After recovering from the astonishment of the first meeting, Mo Qinghe truly believed that the person he was thinking about day and night was sitting in front of him, but he couldn't get close. The yearning for Liu Chu and being beside Shen Peinan The grievances he suffered surged into his heart, his eyes couldn't help sore, afraid of being seen, he had to lower his head and eat the fish piece by piece with chopsticks.

Mo Liuchu couldn't stop asking Qinghe about his health, asking about his injuries for a while, and then asking about the accommodation and food in the hospital, just like his elder brother.

Shen Peinan saw that the two wanted to talk but couldn't let go, so he moved his chopsticks a little, expressing that he had accompanied the guests before leaving the table. Mo Qinghe thought he was going to work in the study, but he went around to the second floor and changed a table. Putting on a short-sleeved white shirt and was about to go out, Qinghe poked her head and saw that his adjutant was standing stiffly at the gate of the courtyard, and had been waiting for a long time.

Mo Qinghe and Liu Chu stood up at the same time: "The general is going out?"

"I made an appointment with Rubai to play cards, and I won't come back for dinner tonight." Shen Peinan buttoned up his shirt, and Mo Qinghe hurriedly wiped his hands to help him tidy his clothes. Shen Peinan raised his head, took out two 50-yuan bills from his wallet and threw them away. Give it to him, and said: "I will leave the car at home for you. In the afternoon, I will accompany your senior brother to go around. In the evening, let Mrs. Jin clean up the bedroom, and leave Mr. Mo at home for two days."

The movement of Mo Qinghe's hands stopped, he felt that Shen Peinan, who was so possessive, said this because he didn't want the weasel to give the chicken New Year's greetings, and he had no good intentions.But before he figured it out, Shen Peinan had already strode out the door.

When Shen Peinan walked to the entrance of the courtyard, he couldn't help but look back. The window panes of the western-style building were half covered by the off-white curtains, revealing the shadows of two people. Feeling restrained and feeling dry, he got into the car and closed the door of the jeep vigorously, simply out of sight.

Beiping in June was as hot as magma pouring down from the sky. Mo Qinghe and Mo Liuchu braved the scorching heat and walked side by side under the shade of a tree. From the corner of their eyes, they could see the shadow of each other's clothes. He was not as Shen Peinan said. Accompanying my brother to "go around" did not dare to use the car.Instead, as soon as he went out, he hailed a rickshaw on the street, and followed Liu Chu back to the small courtyard where he lived.

I haven't been home for several months, this Chinese-style house is covered with dust, and the front hall with the grand master's chair and mahogany square table is dusty and empty.Mo Qinghe closed the door carefully, feeling that his chest was about to explode, he grabbed Liu Chu's sleeve and explained the cause and effect of his injury, but he didn't expect to receive a series of severe criticisms from Mo Liuchu just after he finished speaking.

"What's the matter with you, did I tell you before that you are only responsible for monitoring Shen Peinan's relationship with the Japanese and Wang Jingwei, and you don't have to worry about the rest. It's good for you to take care of the special envoy's defection. Fortunately, when you report to your superiors It was discovered that something was wrong, and the information was stopped, or the gods would not be able to save you!"

Mo Liuchu is the most upright person, and he is a bit cold. He is wearing a long gown at the moment, and his face looks like a schoolteacher: "The whole operation was almost exposed because of your carelessness. This is not the first time you have performed a mission, Qing He. If you are not careful, are you worthy of the comrades who ran back and forth for you?"

Mo Qinghe lowered his head, he felt that Liu Chu was extraordinarily serious today, as if he was suppressing an evil fire, which made him dare not refute.
