Costume Mountains and Rivers

Mo Qinghe retorted: "If you are really not stingy with money, just sign the check generously. I have nothing to do with you to buy a house or land, so why go around in circles? Besides, you know what I like, so you have to use those things that have nothing to do with you." It's urgent to prevaricate."

Shen Peinan laughed straight at his lawless remarks, and said: "I want to buy fun, not to teach students. If you don't know too much about it and it's too late to return it, I really want to throw you out immediately."

"You are reluctant." Mo Qinghe proudly said: "Stop pretending, you told me, you obviously love me."

Shen Peinan clicked his tongue and raised his hand to hit him, but Mo Qinghe didn't hide, and bumped into his arms, but dishonestly touched his legs, grabbing his belt buckle, threatening him face to face. Said: "You tell the truth, do you like me? Do you like me?"

Shen Peinan couldn't bear the teasing, afraid that he would really get angry in the car, pushed him hard, frowned and said: "Isn't it that your man won't be able to marry a wife, seeing how happy you are, you are destined to be a concubine. "

While Mo Qinghe pursed her lips and snickered, Shen Peinan turned over, pushed him on the seat, strangled his chin with one hand, and glanced at him disgustingly: "I don't look good, I have a bad temper, I'm lazy, Life is sloppy and you can't have a son yet, how can you get into our house..."

Before he finished speaking, Mo Qinghe was agile and slipped out of his hand like a loach, raised his fist to fight back, and the two of them quarreled in the back seat of the car.After all, he was small, and after tossing around for a while, he began to pant heavily. Shen Peinan pinned his chest horizontally with his forearm when he was inattentive.After finally begging him to let go, Mo Qinghe also gave up struggling, relaxed her limbs, put her two legs on Shen Peinan's lap, squinted her eyes and lay down to look out the car window.

It was a fine autumn day, the sky was as blue as washed water, high and far away, the warm sunlight turned his pupils into amber gold, the car was a little hot, his body was sweating profusely, he felt refreshed and comfortable.

The European-style steeple of a bungalow appeared in his field of vision, and the dark brick wall like a fortress, reflecting the clear sky, was very impressive.Mo Qinghe turned over, sat up straight and looked out, and suddenly found that this was the garden that she passed by just now. After walking for so long, the car only reached the middle.

The bungalow was old, the walls were covered with vines, and the shade looked very cold. There were a few white wreaths on the marble stairs at the gate, as if there had just been a funeral.

Shen Peinan was also very surprised, rolled down the car window and looked carefully for a while, and saw several men in black talking at the door, so he asked the driver to stop the car, told Mo Qinghe to wait in the car, opened the door and went up to talk to the owner Greetings.

Mo Qinghe frowned. Since leaving Beiping, the organization has not sent a new leader to connect with him out of prudence, and he is too busy with the Shen family's family affairs. These three days are equivalent to cutting off contact with current affairs, and just now Shen Peinan His complexion was obviously not good-looking.

After about a quarter of an hour, the car door was pulled open, Shen Peinan got into the car, patted the back of the driver's cab to let the driver continue driving, turned to Mo Qinghe and said, "Do you know whose property this is from?"

Mo Qinghe became nervous: "Who?"

"Chen family, now there is a saying, 'Jiang family belongs to the Chen family party, Song family sister Kong Jiacai', that is the Chen family."

Mo Qinghe's eyes widened. He knew this. During the brief training before his mission, he had heard of a mysterious faction in the Kuomintang called the CC faction. It was formerly known as the Zhejiang Revolutionary Comrade Society. The Party Affairs Investigation Section of the Organization Department is in charge of intelligence, investigation and other security fields. It was later renamed the Secret Service Headquarters, and it specializes in combating the CCP and Wang faction and other hostile forces of Chiang Kai-shek. Its development and growth can be called the Communist Party's henchmen.

The leaders of this faction are the two brothers Chen Lifu and Chen Guofu. They have controlled the Organization Department for ten years, and their influence spreads throughout the entire party.The most astonishing thing is that this organization, which is also the intelligence department of the Kuomintang, has always had irreconcilable conflicts with the Blue Shirts Club, where Zhou Rubai and other Whampoa soldiers belong.

When Mo Qinghe heard about this for the first time, it took him a long time to figure it out. It turned out that the KMT purportedly pursued the principle of 'no party outside the party, no faction within the party', and internal factions fought openly and secretly, but most of the backbones were unwilling to admit it, so It becomes even more confusing.

Shen Peinan mentioned these things to him, and Mo Qinghe was well aware of the pros and cons, so she grabbed Shen Peinan's hand in shock and asked, "Is Chen Lifu dead?"

Shen Peinan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, she took off a white glove and slapped him on the forehead: "He doesn't live here, besides, if he's dead, can I go out with you for a walk? Donkey brain."

After finishing speaking, ten fingers crossed, lightly pressed against his chin, pondered for a while, and said: "It is said that he died by mistakenly taking medicine. From the look on the porter's face, I guess someone poisoned him. It's nothing. Not a big shot, and as far as I know, he didn't hold an important position, just a clan member who intends to join Japan."

He glanced back through the car window, and murmured to himself in a low voice: "The brothers of the Chen family are Lao Jiang's right-hand man. Something happened to his family at this time... Zhaoming is preparing for peace talks, and Lao Jiang is not going to declare war for the time being. It must not be the case." Those two factions, those so-called national righteous people, have always been bluffing, which is not their style."

Shen Peinan thought about it, raised the corners of his mouth, leaned back on the back very comfortably, and said: "The gang of mud legs finally can't wait, are they going to put pressure on Lao Jiang? This is very good."

Mo Qinghe's heart was pounding. He heard that the Northwest Long March reunion was imminent, and that the Northeast was already intensively preparing for an alliance between the two parties, but he hadn't heard a word about this assassination.For underground activities that are strictly kept secret, this is not surprising, but the assassination close at hand made him feel a little flustered for no reason. What are comrades doing?Will it affect the Shen family who has a deep relationship with Wang Jingwei?Or... Will Shen Peinan be involved?

He hugged Shen Peinan's arm, leaning against him, his forehead against his shoulder, like a frightened cat.Shen Peinan didn't tease him this time, stretched out his hand to embrace him, pinched his cheek lightly with his fingers, and said with a smile: "Are you scared?"

Mo Qinghe nodded and took a deep breath to calm down.He leaned against Shen Peinan's chest and heard the same rapid heartbeat as his own, but it was not out of worry or fear.He looked up to seek some comfort, but he saw a trace of rare excitement in those stern eyes, like a famous general who has lived in seclusion for too long, eager to fight for the war to finally come.

Misunderstood, Mo Qinghe's eyes were filled with mist, he held Shen Peinan's hand tightly, choked up and said: "Brother Shen, don't die."

"Unlucky, you're the fucking dead!" Shen Peinan scolded, turned her head and saw Mo Qinghe's appearance, and her heart softened again. She lowered her head and kissed the bridge of his nose, and said softly: "I won't die, I will wait and see with my bird Let’s see a new China together.”

Mo Qinghe's tears flowed down, he didn't know why he was crying, maybe it was because of Shen Peinan's words, maybe it was the sentimentality caused by death and autumn thoughts, he couldn't find suitable literary words to express the turbulent emotions at this time, He just buried his face in Shen Peinan's chest, grabbed his military uniform, rubbed it, thumped it, vented, and secretly made up his mind in the depths of grief.

He has to make a selfish decision. Even if the organization issues an assassination order, no matter what the purpose and righteousness are, even if Zhou Enlai orders him personally, he will never touch Shen Peinan and his family, even if they look down on him.Not only that, anyone who wants to hurt them has to step over Mo Qinghe's corpse first!

He has nothing but the man in front of him, the man in front of him who wants to fight for the beautiful rivers and mountains, and says he wants to see a new China with him. , are his beliefs.

Shen Peinan held his shoulders, took out a white handkerchief to wipe his tears, and said with a smile: "If you don't cry, you're dead. How can a boy be so timid."

Mo Qinghe turned her face away from him, looked out the car window at the constantly receding street scene, wiped the corners of her eyes with her sleeve, nodded vigorously, and stopped crying.

Shen Peinan remembered another thing, frowned, and said to Mo Qinghe: "Xiao Mo, do you remember your concubine of Junior Brother Yunyang, named Chen Zongyi?"

Mo Qinghe nodded and said he remembered, Shen Peinan hummed lightly, and said, "Do you remember that I said that he has a strong background, has been doing shipping business with the Japanese in Tianjin Concession and Shanghai Port, and even bought arms for me?"

"His background is the Chen family of Jiang Chensong Kongzhong. He has always said that he is an honest and responsible businessman. He only recognizes gold bars and does not talk about politics. In this day and age, who is not involved in politics, who dares to do such a big business?" Shen Peinan Said: "I have touched Chen Zongyi's background, and I am not worried about him, but the Chen family behind him has too deep a relationship with Chiang Kai-shek, and now the Communist bandits are using public opinion to press on step by step. Let Lao Jiang make up his mind, in this sensitive period, you should keep less contact with Hang Yunyang, if he asks about our family, don't reveal a word, understand?"

Mo Qinghe let out a cry. He thought that his younger brother had followed the safest master, but he didn't expect that he would also unintentionally get involved in political disputes. He was a little anxious, and said: "Yun Yang said that he might follow Chen Mister is going east to Japan."

Shen Peinan nodded, stared at his fingers thoughtfully, and said to himself: "That's good, at least it's safer than being in China." After speaking, he smiled and put Mo Qinghe's hand on his lap and gently rubbed it. He said, "You don't have to worry about me. It's your junior brother. It's dangerous to follow Mr. Chen now. The pro-Japanese family member of the Chen family who died today is a lesson from the past. The Communist bandits want to use the name of anti-Japanese to win people's hearts. Form an alliance, they will be impatient."

Mo Qinghe didn't take his words seriously, but he was also a little confused. He had too many things he wanted to convey to senior brother Li Mosheng and Liu Chu, and he also had too many questions to ask. At the same time, he was also anxious about the safety of his junior brother.He raised his face and said worriedly: "Brother Shen, since you are no longer married and Mrs. Shen is in good health, when will we return to Peiping?"

Shen Peinan didn't answer, he patted the back of Mo Qinghe's hand, rolled down the car window, and immediately, the wind mixed with the fragrance of green grass and fresh water vapor filled the interior of the car, blowing their hair.Mo Qinghe poked her head out and looked out, only to see that during the tense conversation just now, the street view outside the window had changed. Outside were continuous green hills and a lake that could not be seen at a glance, like a star embedded in the distant sky. The wet night pearl in the vast land, and the picturesque scenery, also rushed to the two of them with the breeze of the fragrance of Longjing tea.

Shen Peinan opened the car door, took Mo Qinghe out of the car, and said with a smile: "There are good mountains in Beiping, and good water in Hangzhou. I should show you. Facing these beautiful lakes and mountains, all worries are gone."

A black car in front also stopped. Shen Shuzhu, wearing a lotus-colored hang silk shirt, jumped out of the car with a smile and walked towards the two of them. He quickly unfolded a golden peony folding fan, and fanned it on his chest. .

Shen Peinan went up to meet him, punched Shen Shuzhu's shoulder, draped his shoulders, turned his head and made a follow-up gesture to Mo Qinghe, and said, "Come on, I'll show you someone!"
