Costume Mountains and Rivers

Mo Qinghe usually got up before dawn to practice her voice, but she had tossed so hard the night before that she felt weak after sleeping until the sun was up, and staggered a few times when going down the stairs while holding the railing, and almost fell down the stairs.

Shen Peinan had already arrived, and was sitting leisurely at the dining table smoking a cigarette. He was wearing a neat military uniform with neat buttons around his neck. When he heard Mo Qinghe coming downstairs, he tapped the table with his middle finger knuckles.

"Come to have breakfast, I have been waiting for you all morning."

There are six copper-plated chairs on both sides of a long table inlaid with marble, all covered with black embroidered cushions. On the table are some snacks such as sweet-scented osmanthus cakes, Hehe cakes, and rice dumplings, as well as two bottles of Samsung brandy, bought from restaurants outside. Yes, the big red suitcase is still on the side.

There were a few more strangers in the hall, and they stood in a row led by Lao Liu. On the far left was a woman in a black loose-legged fragrant cloud shirt, with drooping eyes and kind eyes, in the middle was a fat man in a cloth shirt, and on the right stood two A simple young man in a double-breasted jacket, the five of them saw Mo Qinghe coming downstairs, and greeted him respectfully.

Lao Liu introduced that these were the servants of the family, Mrs. Jin was in charge of cleaning the room, the fat man was the cook, and the two young men, one named Arong and the other named Afu, were in charge of running errands for compradors and cleaning the garden, and they recognized each other with Mo Qinghe Then they broke up, leaving only Mrs. Jin to serve.

Mo Qinghe walked slowly to Shen Peinan's side, the man stretched out his arms to hug him, took his body temperature first, and pinched his waist tightly.

"The fever has subsided." Shen Peinan slid his hand to his hip, "It still hurts here?"

Mo Qinghe shook her head: "It doesn't hurt anymore."

Shen Peinan hugged him to his lap, and pulled the unsightly place violently, Mo Qinghe groaned in pain, and sat on Shen Peinan's lap hissing and gasping for air.

"It doesn't hurt, the upper mouth is more liar than the lower mouth." Shen Peinan reached into Mo Qinghe's shirt to play with his nipples, and fed him a piece of red and white osmanthus cake, "Hungry, eat first, I have something to give you after eating."

Mo Qinghe subconsciously glanced at Aunt Jin from the corner of her eye. The woman was not as familiar as Lao Liu and Shen Peinan, she was so ashamed by the sight that she lowered her head and dared not look at it again.

Mo Qinghe blushed all of a sudden, thinking that Shen Peinan treated him like this in front of outsiders, it was clear that he regarded him as a commodity in the brothel, her head was buzzing, but she was still thinking about offending Shen Peinan because of her senior brother last night With difficulty, he squeezed out a smile and said: "The general must have given you something good."

Shen Peinan didn't know that Mo Qinghe had changed his mind, and saw that he just lowered his head in thought, and squeezed his chest deliberately: "You little bitch, why are you ashamed now, Mrs. Jin is also your movie fan, next time you sing a song , let me call her and Lao Liu, let's listen together, okay?"

After finishing speaking, he blew into Mo Qinghe's ear: "I really want everyone in the audience to see your coquettish look on the bed. The number one actor in the capital sells the same stuff as Yanzhi Hutong. You said you are so Be obedient, are you afraid of being beaten or you are afraid of hurting your brother?"

Mo Qinghe was determined to meet him all the way to the end, but she couldn't help shaking when she heard the word "senior brother", and said with a smile: "The general is paranoid, Liu Chuqing and I are innocent, but when I was young, I was beaten by my master and he always blocked me. , Get used to shouting."

After finishing speaking, she touched Shen Peinan's forehead coquettishly: "I am a hero when I am a general, so I am narrow-minded and jealous."

Shen Peinan put down the spoon: "If I'm narrow-minded, why bother to be your senior brother in the middle of the night?"

Mo Qinghe didn't understand, he remembered last night that his senior brother annoyed Shen Peinan, he tossed and turned on the bed half the night thinking about the countermeasures, and then he was so dazed with fever, as for his sickness, he kept looking for his senior brother, calling Shen Peinan a rabbit master, and Shen Peinan pretending in the middle of the night He completely forgot about Mo Liuchu's coming to coax him.

Seeing that he was confused, Shen Peinan stopped talking, peeled off an egg yolk dumpling and handed it to him, casually said: "Although she has a fake face, I like this soft temper very much, it saves a lot of trouble."

Mo Qinghe restrained her anger and bit the zongzi bit by bit, as if it was Shen Peinan's flesh and blood, gnawing murderously.

After breakfast, Ah Rong and Ah Fu brought up the gift that Shen Peinan had mentioned. It turned out to be a large glass box, inside which were neatly stacked new and expensive fabrics, sapphire blue, emerald green, vermilion, gamboge spring crepe, brocade, etc. , Indian silk, all in gorgeous and extravagant colors, it is still a bit frivolous to say that they are prepared for ladies, let alone gifts for men.The clothes are also very fancy, with piles of floral prints, hidden flowers and gold embroidery. There are also several sets of ready-made clothes, including blue satin robes, silk mandarin jackets, and even suits, top hats and leather shoes.

Mo Qinghe took out a set for comparison, the size was just right.

"Pick a few that are pleasing to the eye first, and I'll ask someone to cut them overnight." Shen Peinan lazily pulled out a set of water-red jinyunge gown and threw it to him, "Go and change this one, I invited a friend to play cards at home, clever Come on, don't embarrass me."

Mo Qinghe stared blankly at the pink opera-like clothes in her bosom. For some reason, when the student standing on the high platform giving a speech in the university flashed through his mind, the white school uniform on him and the young people in the audience revered him. Mo Qinghe closed her eyes, pinching the satin tightly with her fingers.

Shen Peinan glanced at him: "Don't like it?"

Mo Qinghe laughed suddenly, and said out of nowhere: "General, I really hope that one day, I can be regarded as a human being by you."

That afternoon, a bright car came to Shen Peinan's house, and a couple dressed in western style came in. The man was 40 years old, wearing a woolen suit, a pair of Tolic glasses, and two mustaches.The woman was holding his arm, her hair was permed into fashionable curls, a string of pearls hung around her neck, her arms were bare, her whole body was gorgeous and capable.

As soon as she entered, the whole living room was filled with a strong smell of French perfume.

Mo Qinghe sang old dramas, and most of the people she met were old-fashioned people. She didn't know how to respond politely, so she greeted her with a smile.

Shen Peinan called out to Rubai, went up to shake hands with the man in the suit, and added a hug, then raised the Western-style woman's hand, and pecked lightly on the back of her hand with his lips.

The woman laughed heartily: "Long time no see, Pei Nan left the battlefield, I really want to treat him like a gentleman."

"He is a bandit at heart, and no amount of education can change him." The man in the suit teased, "I also received a report last year that his soldiers tied up a very powerful squire in Hunan and beat him up. It was the squire who took over the sheep of the villagers! I was dying of laughter, and I called Pei Nan all night to question Pei Nan, and as a result, this brat rushed to the squire’s house himself, arrested him and beat him up!”

"Listen, this is something the teacher can do!"

The couple laughed, and Shen Peinan followed suit. Mo Qinghe found that the banditry on his body had disappeared at this moment, and his every move was measured with a knife, like a dignified general of the national army.

Shen Peinan gestured for a seat please, then turned to Mo Qinghe and said, "Little Mo, go make coffee."

Seeing that he was still in a daze, he added: "Ask Mrs. Jin, she knows."

The man in the suit is named Zhou Rubai. He is the real owner of this western-style building. He is also Shen Peinan's friend and Whampoa alumnus who has been with him for ten years. Internal staff, responsible for intelligence work within the party, have been directly under the leadership of Dai Li since the Blue Shirts Society period.

He has a special status, Shen Peinan invited him this time, and naturally it was not just for playing cards.

Seeing that Mo Qinghe was gone, Zhou Rubai took out a thin file bag from his briefcase and handed it to Shen Peinan. Shen Peinan unsealed it, took out the paper and quickly scanned two lines, and said in surprise, "So many people?"

Zhou Rubai patted him on the shoulder: "Brother, you have to be mentally prepared for this mouthful. This kid looks pure like a student from Peking. He has accompanied more patrons than you have."

Shen Peinan poured him a glass of brandy, poured a small half of it for himself, drank half of it in one gulp, and muttered: "You know I don't care about this, what else?"

"The political record is very clean, and no partisan connection has been found." Zhou Rubai said, "But don't be careless. Recently, both the Kuomintang and the Communist Party have infiltrated heavily, and the Japanese side...you are an old man in the national army, so be careful. that is."

Shen Peinan didn't answer, crossed his fingers and propped his chin, and nodded thoughtfully.

Zhou Rubai took a sip of wine, and his glasses were stained with concern: "Speaking of which, you are not young anymore, and you should seriously find someone to live with. What's the matter with hanging out with opera singers all the time? Yufen always said that she wanted to introduce you to someone." It's safe, and I'm afraid that if you are used to messing around, a virtuous and virtuous person really can't trap you."

Shen Peinan smiled wryly: "Who doesn't like serious people, but unfortunately, there are 360 ​​days a year, and I would say that there are [-] days floating on the front line. It is not harming anyone to find anyone? Why don't you just go and play wherever you go, men and women are not the same. Same, no matter how obedient you are, you won’t be able to keep it.”

Yufen interrupted with a smile: "This is strange, the team is full of men, whoever you like can just take him into the team?"

"Well, let all the teachers know that their teacher has a young man, and they kiss and touch when others are shot..." Shen Peinan suddenly stopped talking, Zhou Rubai was taken aback, and spit out all the wine in his mouth with a puff. Choked and coughed.

Yufen came to her senses, her face flushed with shame, and she slapped him hard: "A bandit is a bandit, listen to this!"

It happened that Mo Qinghe brought his sister-in-law to deliver coffee, and Lao Liu directed a few delivery men to come in, each carrying two vermilion boxes, which were the bird's nest mats delivered by Xilai Restaurant, each dish A table was set, and Mo Qinghe helped to set things up. The water-red gown was lined with off-white soft mandarin jacket, which looked like a cloud of clouds in the European-style setting. While setting the dishes, he smiled and talked to the boy who delivered the food.

I don't know who took the lead, the three people sitting on the sofa chatting all stared at Mo Qinghe, Yufen played with the diamond ring on her hand, raised her eyebrows and said: "It's the first time I saw Mo Qinghe taking off makeup, really A beautiful and virtuous little nightingale."

As soon as the words were finished, the doorbell rang suddenly, and then the door slammed open, sucking in a gust of wind mixed with the fragrance of powder and peach blossoms.

The three of them stopped discussing, and saw that there was also a fashionable young man involved at the same time, twisting his body while walking, his hair and leather shoes were shiny, he was wearing a white suit, with a big red tassel hanging from his side, his expression was frivolous, his eyes always Turn faster than your head.

"Mr. Shen, Mr. Zhou, Mrs. Zhou." The young man greeted Su Bai with a mouthful.

"This is the beautiful little nightingale." Shen Peinan went up to meet him, wrapped his arms around his waist, turned to Zhou Rubai and his wife and said, "Yun Yang is in a concert in Beiping, and just came to play cards with us."

The young man was a regular customer, so he hooked Shen Peinan's neck and slapped him on the face, "The teacher is not kind, he lived in Beiping for four days before posting, but if you have a newcomer, you will forget about him?"

Shen Peinan just bowed his head and kissed, not avoiding outsiders at all, and kissed Yunyang inside and out.

Zhou Rubai and his wife are members of the new faction. They are used to seeing high-ranking party officials holding Kunling as their mistress in the social arena. They just let them make out with each other with a smile. Shaking all over.

"Crack." The wine bottle fell to the ground and shattered. The crimson wine juice spilled all over the floor, mixed with glass shards gushing out from the broken bottle.

The four people here turned their heads at the same time, only to see Mo Qinghe clenching her lower lip, holding the table with one hand, her face turning red and turning white.

"Yo, is this jealous? Brother Peinan's backyard is on fire." Before Zhou Rubai finished teasing, the smile on his face froze suddenly, and Mo Qinghe took a stride and forced Hang Yunyang from Shen Peinan's arms. He snatched it out, examined him from top to bottom, raised his hand and slapped him hard on the ear.

With all his strength this time, Hang Yunyang was beaten until his eyes were staring, and the left side of his face was swollen a lot.

"What the hell is the little bitch!" Shen Peinan pushed Hang Yunyang behind him and raised his hand to teach Mo Qinghe a lesson. He didn't hide or retreat, he took a step forward and said in a trembling voice: "You let him do it himself! I'd rather See what face he has to meet me!"

Hang Yunyang had never suffered such a loss before, and wanted to get it back aggressively, but looked up at Mo Qinghe but was stunned, hesitated for a long time, and cried out in a crying voice: "Brother!"

Mo Qinghe closed her eyes, and tears rolled down her face.

People are not interested, and I am afraid of checking the water meter, or I don’t want to involve politics at all. This is a story of faith and love. I have always believed War and politics cannot cover up the brilliance of human nature. No matter Jiang Zhongzheng, Wang Zhaoming, or the red grandfathers, they are all holding their ideas to save China. I may not be fair, but I will try my best not to vilify any party on the basis of limited information. Seriously, in fact, they are still in love, touching their chins, Xiao Mo was abused a bit, and his mother felt distressed.
