Costume Mountains and Rivers

Shen Peinan nodded when he heard the servant's words, but he didn't take it seriously at all. He took out a five yuan bill from his pocket as a reward.Mo Qinghe didn't ask any questions, put Shen Peinan's arm in her hands with a semblance of manliness, and followed him to the study.

There is a western-style building in Shen's residence, which is being built behind the small home of Shen Lisong and his wife. The young master Shen Lisong used to study in the building when he was young, and the later sons and daughters of the Shen family grew up and have their own in the building. After the youngest Shen Piaoping graduated, it was turned into a recreation room. As soon as the holiday came, a group of well-to-do young princes and ladies gathered together, imitating the French salon, sitting in the living room singing and playing the piano, talking about the past and the present , also play cards, listen to operas, and do some activities behind the adults' backs.

It was nearly midnight, the humid and sultry wind was blowing on Mo Qinghe's face, when she looked up, a turmeric moon hung above her head, it rose too high, it didn't look big, but it was extraordinarily bright, bright and scorching eyes .

Mo Qinghe was still smiling, with thousands of things in his heart, and he instinctively sealed it up, like a silk theater costume locked in a wooden box. They are all separated by thick wood and cannot be passed inside.

There have been many times when he accompanied the pot-bellied benefactor back to the apartment, he used this method to restrain himself, and used another person transformed from his body to paint his face and dance well in the social arena. As for his The original heart, hiding in a dark place, is quietly simple, stubborn, crying, or looking forward to it.

His heart was closed, but his mind was clear. He speculated on Shen Peinan's words, and he was glad that he didn't show any strong emotions just now.He heard the flaws in Shen Peinan's convincing words, no matter how harsh those words were, they were just speculations about his own behavior, without conclusive evidence, otherwise he would have been kicked out by this time, or died.Mo Qinghe thought, since it was speculation, the situation was not too bad, and he still had a chance.

He looked at Shen Peinan's side face, it was so cold, it looked like a stone sculpture with sharp edges and corners under the moonlight, his gaze was fixed on one place, no matter how intruded by external force it would not change.Mo Qinghe stared blankly, her heart huddled like a disturbed hedgehog, and she said in her heart that from now on, she must act seriously, this person, this person, I can't love more.

He stopped suddenly, held Shen Peinan by the corner of his clothes, and asked him: "Brother Chen, if one day I do something bad, will you really kill me?"

Shen Peinan thought secretly that he had a headache. He knew that with this little bird's temper, this matter would never pass silently. At the same time, because of Mo Qinghe's non-resistance, he regretted all the way, and felt that it was fine for his family to bully him. , Even I didn't ask myself, I got angry at him indiscriminately, he was a vicious husband, but he couldn't bear to admit his mistake for a while, and said in a muffled voice: "Come on, if you decide to betray the country or give me a cuckold? Needless to say the former one, I will consider the latter one.”

Mo Qinghe ignored his jokes, and stared sadly at a mother and son who were going to the door to take a bus. The little boy was wearing black leather shoes and his hair was combed smooth. He was smiling and showing off to his mother what he got from the dinner table Mo Qinghe found it interesting to talk about a crab claw and Barabara, so he concentrated on it for a while.

In an instant, he suddenly felt a sense of desolation, and he missed Peiping, Liu Chu and Yun Yang, the big courtyard where he learned opera when he was young, the vegetable soup without oil, the crabapple with white flowers and his memory. He thought, if mother hadn't sold him, mother and son would not be able to survive, or, after he redeemed himself, mother would come to him again, although nothing could be changed, but when he was bullied, There is always room to complain.

He was in a low mood, feeling that he had neither the care of his family nor the love of his lover, and he couldn't even perform his tasks well, so he was a useless person, so he sighed and said sadly: "I'm homesick."

After Shen Peinan heard it, the expression on his face was not quite right. He thought that he should smile when he apologized, and tried to draw the corners of his mouth upwards. Feeling that he was too insidious and obsequious, he put on a straight face again.After repeating it several times, Mo Qinghe couldn't hold her breath, and said in shock, "Have you had a stroke?"

Shen Peinan's experiment was declared a failure, he touched his face depressedly, and covered it up: "It's because of your slap, you bastard, you have a lot of strength."

He made up his mind for a long time, and seeing that no one was paying attention, he circled Mo Qinghe from behind, clasped his hands in front of his belly, and whispered in his ear: "Little daughter-in-law, my family has a bad temper. Just talk nonsense in a hurry, I also said it before dinner, you can take it easy."

After he finished speaking, he only felt his ears burning. Fortunately, the night was dark and he didn't show his flaws. Mo Qinghe naturally folded his hands on the back of Shen Peinan's hand and gently stroked his knuckles. Cleared the second half of his sentence.After a long time, he said ah, looked back at him in a daze, and blurted out: "Then what if I betray the country?"

Shen Peinan was almost pissed off by his frightening energy, thinking that with his thin body, he dared to give the honorable guests a blow when he came, and even ignored his hard work, which was completely a sham Because of the stupid backstage, he immediately put on airs, raised his hand and gave him a chestnut, and said: "Then I will tie you up and fuck you hard until you surrender to the enemy!"

This time Mo Qinghe heard clearly, and was very worried, covering his buttocks, and was about to run away. Shen Peinan put his arms on his arms, lifted him up like a little chicken, and carried him on his shoulders, ignoring him at all. With his angry howls and the siege of his servants, he walked through the garden and the hall of the study, rushed up to the second floor, and rushed into the small living room where the party was held. Then he let out a sigh and threw a flour bag It seemed to throw him off.

Mo Qinghe was dizzy from the toss. As soon as her feet touched the ground, before she could see which way was north, she immediately jumped up, laughing and elbowing Shen Peinan's back. The two were fighting when suddenly a voice came from behind. With a pretentious cough, the movement of his hands stopped, and when he turned his head, he was immediately dumbfounded.

The living room is covered with Erlong Xizhu carpet, and there are sofas around the wall. It is already full of people, and they all stare at them dumbfounded.Taking a closer look, all the brothers and sisters of the Shen family had arrived, and there were three gorgeous ladies in long cheongsams, two surrounded Shen Lisong, and one was sitting next to Shen Shuzhu, whispering to him forehead to forehead.The costumes of the three are very bold, the sleeves and waist are cut to a very small size, the cheongsam is slit up to the leg, the waist is thin and the buttocks are round, like three glass bottles with concave and convex.There is a card table in the middle of the living room, and several old women are busy cleaning it up. The living room is not big, and it is crowded by these people.

It turned out that this was Shen Lisong as the leader of the four brothers and sisters. Since he was 15 years old, he had set a rule. Whenever he went home for a treat, the juniors would get together after the meal as usual to discuss some children's topics. The children gradually got married and established businesses, actors and movie actors appeared in the small living room, and the brothers' repertoire became unspeakable and unspeakable.

Shen Lisong was holding a cigar at an angle, his face was hidden in the light blue smoke, his eyes were slightly squinted, and he pointed at the card table towards Shen Peinan, with a half-smile, and his gaze was always looking back and forth between him and Mo Qinghe go.

Shen Piaoping couldn't understand his behavior, so she went up to meet him with a smile: "Boss Mo came just in time, they want to play cards, my skills are too poor, it can be said that I will lose every bet, and I am looking for someone to replace me." The old lady ordered to eat, and said to Mo Qinghe in a low voice: "Don't worry, these brothers of mine play ridiculously, since the sister-in-law had a quarrel, they are not willing to bring the one in the family. .”

After all, let’s introduce one by one, the three ladies who came earlier are all singing operas in the south, and the one in a white cheongsam is the best with Shen Shuzhu, so I dragged him to the side for a chat.Beside Shen Lisong is a pair of sisters, sister named Shui Yufang and younger sister named Shui Yuling, both of them have short hair cut, their foreheads are permed into fine rolls, revealing exactly the same oval face and big eyes, the corners of the eyes are raised upwards, and the eyelashes are curled like Can hold a match.

Mo Qinghe didn't eat enough for dinner, and she didn't want to play cards when she was hungry. Seeing that the pair of sisters kept bowing their heads, they went to look at it. It turned out that they were rolling cigarettes. First, they opened a can of cigarettes. Mix the dried jasmine petals with shredded tobacco, roll them up in the same way, and place them in cigarette boxes one by one.This set took a lot of time and effort, and it took five or six rolls until the cook brought the supper.

Shen Peinan had just had a match, and strolled over leisurely. Seeing the delicateness of the cigarette, he grabbed it all and put it in his cigarette case. Shui Yufang patted the back of his hand lightly, and said angrily, "I'm so shameless. It’s not that there are no one around me, robbing us of our things.”

Mo Qinghe was smoking a pair of tooth chopsticks, holding a bowl of stewed cloud legs and eating with big mouthfuls. Hearing this, he said with a smile: "It's okay if you want me to accompany you to shoot targets, but I can't do this, my hands are very clumsy."

"Eat yours, lest you can't fill your stomach, and get up in the middle of the night clamoring for sandwich bread." Shen Peinan glared at him, but leaning over the table with one hand, leaning over to smell the aroma of Shui Yufang's temples, and said with a smile : "When will you be on stage? I'd love to give you a compliment."

As he spoke, he took out a banknote from his wallet, rolled it into a slender tube like cigarettes, and unfastened a button of Shui Yufang's cheongsam with one hand, knocked the banknote tube on the side of her neck, and stuck it on the fabric and white greasy skin. between the necks.Shui Yufang gave him a sideways look, and said, "Your family won't learn how to behave if you mess around when you meet." But she stretched out her hand and squeezed the money, with a smile in her eyes.

Seeing this, Shui Yuling hid her mouth with a handkerchief and giggled, then turned her head and said to Shen Lisong: "Master, the third master took away all the achievements of our sisters for one night. We can't pay the job, and we still buy what we promised." Don't buy it?"

Shen Lisong held a glass of wine, turned on the phonograph to play music, slumped on the sofa with Erlang's legs crossed, took a sip, and said with a smile: "Of course there will be. I have a business trip to the street tomorrow, so why not go shopping with you? Any plans?"

The two sisters looked at each other without evasiveness. One proposed and the other supplemented. For a while, they said that a foreign company had opened a new store, and in a while they said that a batch of new shoes, gold necklaces, scarves, perfume, gloves, hats and shawls had been opened. Long string, the two of them have social experience, know that this kind of occasion is not suitable to ask for expensive things such as diamonds, and they are afraid of offending their old acquaintances, so they only take small things to make up the money.Every time they said the same thing, Shen Lisong nodded with a smile. In the end, both of them couldn't come up with anything new, so they left gracefully, greeted Mo Qinghe and another sister, and formed a team to play cards.

Shen Lisong finished drinking a glass of mint wine, knocked the glass on the table lightly, made a helpless look, and cried out with a smile: "Look at these two hypocritical little things, I don't know how many times they have cheated me, It's so painful." He turned to Shen Peinan: "The third child must understand my difficulties, I don't think Boss Mo has a single bad thing in his body, let's just talk about that diamond ring..."

Shen Peinan poured himself a glass of whiskey, glanced at Mo Qinghe, and said, "So that one was good, but he threw it away in a fit of anger." He smiled and shook his hand, "He doesn't like these things, he only loves books and Guns, there are quite a few books in the place where we live in Beijing, but unfortunately they are all property of a friend surnamed Zhou, and he has not been allowed to succeed, but he has been tricked into buying several guns."

The sound of mahjong was heard from the poker table, and the female guests were having a good time playing. They glanced sideways at the few people sitting on the sofa: "Men like it, but women like jewelry and materials. I heard that there is a new one outside. Indian silk and satin shop, the colors are very good."

Upon hearing this, Shen Lisong immediately interjected: "Go, go buy, my younger sister will also go, and I will hand over to my elder brother to account for how much I buy. I just can't understand her virtue, and go to school every day to hang out with a group of young people , there is no guard against men and women at all, even changed his name, what is his name Piaoping, it sounds like he is homeless, he doesn't think about major events in his life, he runs around wearing men's clothes, and he doesn't know who will dare to marry in the future you."

This topic was picked up, and everyone had a lively discussion about the marriage. First, they taunted Shen Lisong and Manni for their divorce, discussed meeting the new sister-in-law outside, and then talked about Shen Shuzhu. With the Chinese rose he loves, and Shen Peinan's love history with beautiful actors.While talking, the topic turned back to the material of the clothes, only to hear Shen Piaoping shouting with a smile: "Don't try to persuade me, I have clothes, and I sent all my clothes to Bald Jiang."

Shen Lisong wondered: "Why did you send him your clothes?"

Shen Piaoping laughed and said, "Last time I played cards with the wives of several high-ranking officials, and they also disapproved of the Anti-Japanese War, claiming that the war would cause unnecessary harm at the beginning, and that Manchuria did not belong to China at all, but was brought about by the entry of the Qing army. Subsidiary, it would be good if the Japanese avoided war. This is a woman's argument, and Generalissimo Jiang adopts a policy of non-resistance like them, isn't he a woman?"

"I thought, since I'm a woman, I naturally have to wear women's clothes, so I packed four big bags when I got home, and sent all my clothes to him!"

Mo Qinghe was drawing cards, and when she heard her say this, she burst out laughing, and couldn't stop laughing, even throwing away the cards in her hand.Shen Peinan walked behind Mo Qinghe, looked at his innocent and happy appearance, compared with the other kunlings present, and thought of the girly looks of Hang Yunyang and the little actors he had raised, the more she looked at him, the more she felt that Qinghe was cute , the more he looked at it, the more he cherished it. He couldn't help but put on a straight face, pinched the back of his neck, and said bitterly, "I'll make you happy."

He lowered his head and leaned into his ear and said, "I bought so many clothes for you before, and you haven't even touched them. Why don't you pack a bag and send it to the chairman?"

Mo Qinghe remembered the whole glass box of colored materials that he received when he first met him, and hurriedly nodded vigorously, but not thinking that Shen Peinan was teasing him, raised his hand and slapped him on the back of the head, and said coldly: "I see You and Piaoping are like a pair of brothers and sisters, hurry up and ask for help, this way you will have a lot of relatives."

Shen Lisong immediately lowered his face, and just wanted to say that you were joking, but he didn't want Shen Piaoping to brush her hair behind her ears with both hands, and said with a big laugh: "That's very good, I can lend him all the books in my collection, Taking advantage of the good weather these two days, we can go out and visit the second-hand book market together..."

She didn't finish her sentence when she heard the door of the living room slam open. The concierge rushed into the room, stood firmly on the door frame, and bowed deeply to everyone: "Eldest young master, second young master, third young master, fourth miss, Boss Mo! boss……"

He finished speaking in one breath, almost flickering his tongue, but he couldn't catch the second half of the sentence, he took a deep breath and said: "The wife is here, the wife took Miss Xu Minjuan downstairs, and said she would come up and have a look."

Everyone in the room changed their expressions. Everyone knew that those few Kunlings were not counted, and Mo Qinghe alone was enough to start another war. They looked at each other for a while, not knowing what to do.But Shen Peinan reacted quickly, ran to the window in a few steps, pushed open the sash, and said to Mo Qinghe: "You go back first, I will find a way here."

A high-pitched voice sounded in the corridor outside the door, getting closer and closer: "...Unlike some people, who don't even want to face for that little money, good man, but serve others..."

Mo Qinghe was so frightened that she was so panicked that she was about to jump out of the window. Shen Piaoping thought that he was frightened, and hurriedly chased after him: "This is the second floor!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he quickly climbed up the window sill like a bobcat, took a deep breath, and jumped down.
