old house bird thing

The summer in Shanghai is very difficult, because it is hot and stuffy, but it was better in Guangdong. Xiangxiang received a letter from his hometown. Master Du said that his third brother Du Liangwen had graduated and hoped to study in Whampoa. Xiangxiang can introduce one or two as a recommendation, and at the same time, Master Du also vaguely mentioned that the second aunt seems to be happy again after many years.

Xiangxiang couldn’t help feeling sweaty after reading the family letter. At this time, the Southern Government’s Whampoa Military Academy had already emerged, and it became the first choice for many aspiring young people or high-ranking officials’ children. It has gone through two enrollment expansions, and the competition for admission is still fierce. Brotou, each quota must be recommended by special personnel to be eligible for admission. Recently, many people he knows have approached him, hoping to help recommend admission to the school.Xiangxiang actually did not approve of Liangwen entering Huangpu. After all, this is a military school, and the students in it must go to the battlefield. The Northern Expedition has come, and many students in Huangpu will die in this battle. However, many people seem to only Seeing the high-ranking officials and rich salary foreshadowed here, but turning a blind eye to the danger of self-deception.

Xiangxiang thought inadvertently that the second aunt mentioned Liangwen's jealousy and jealousy towards him. They only saw the superficial scenery, and they didn't know that they had passed through the hell of war today.As for the second aunt who is nearly 40 years old and pregnant again, I have to say that Mr. Du is really old and strong. He wanders around and cultivates several wives every day when he has nothing to do, just as he himself proudly showed off in front of his three sons: "You A few useless things, my grandson has not been seen yet, I am afraid that in the future, the three of you will not have as many sons as I have, you are really three useless people."

Xiangxiang was a little worried. After all, she was almost 40 years old. She was a real advanced woman who wrote a letter back to some friends in Guangdong, hoping that they could help find some better obstetricians and gynecologists.

The hotel where Xiangxiang stayed was very luxurious inside, and of course the cost was not small. Before that, the people around Xiao Lie helped to pay in advance, and the stay in Xiangxiang was very uneasy. Fortunately, the letter from my hometown has already been sent to Xiangxiang by the way. A sum of money can solve the urgent need.

He took the reply letter and was going to post it. The lobby of the hotel was covered with thick cashmere carpets and decorated in Western style. He was walking to the door of the lobby when Xiangxiang saw a familiar figure. A man in a satin cheongsam walked in from the entrance of the hall with his hands on his arms. The two of them stuck together like two entangled earthworms in broad daylight, very arrogant.

They met here without any warning, and the woman seemed to be even more frightened by this meeting. She stood still and stared at the handsome young man opposite, the silk veil in her hand was stretched into strips, His face was pale as if he had seen a ghost, and he seemed to be screaming and running away in the next second.Xiangxiang lowered her head subconsciously, not wanting to look at her face, and quickened her pace, wanting to leave here quickly, complaining in her heart, the road to enemies is really narrow.

"Oh? Isn't this a friend of the Chu people?" The man next to Zhou Lanxin suddenly stopped Xiangxiang.

It was only then that Xiangxiang noticed that this man turned out to be Xiao Lie's eldest brother. The one who came to find fault that night had to stop to shake hands with him and greet him: "So it's Young Master Xiao, I didn't notice just now, hello, hello."

"Mr. Du, you're being polite. Since I'm my brother's friend, I'm also my friend. Just call me Xiao Yan. I don't know if I'd like to sit down and have a cup of tea?"

"This……"

"My brother is under your care. My father and I are very worried about whether he will live alone in Guangzhou in the past few years. It's just that the Chu people are afraid of us worrying. They never mention life in Guangzhou, which makes my father even more worried."

"Ok."

Xiangxiang followed Young Master Xiao into a private room, and a few dogs in black suits stood outside the door. Young Master Xiao was very generous, ordered a table of exquisite delicacies, and toasted Xiangxiang very politely.

Zhou Lanxin seemed to have calmed down at this time, she put her arms around Young Master Xiao's arm delicately and said: "Look at you men, you forget our women as soon as you have business, and you don't introduce them to me." She He glanced at Xiangxiang and asked Young Master Xiao to recommend her.

Is she trying to pretend she doesn't know me?Or did she really not recognize it?Xiangxiang thought secretly, seeing that her expression just now was not the same.

"This is my brother's friend, Mr. Du Liangyu, who is a member of the southern government. I had never heard of his name before, but later I found out that he worked directly for Mr. Sun and Mr. Liao. I really don't know Taishan."

"Where, where, you are flattering yourself." Xiangxiang hurriedly humbled.

"Oh? That's really disrespectful." Zhou Lanxin smiled and picked up a glass of wine: "Mr. Du, it's the first time we meet, my little girl Li Lanzhi, here is a toast to Mr., everyone knows each other and makes friends."

Li Lanzhi?It turned out that she changed her name and surname to say goodbye to everything in the past?That's fine, let's start again, Xiangxiang smiled and took the glass of wine: "Miss Li toasts, how can I not save face, let's do it first."

The meal was very peaceful, Young Master Xiao naturally didn't know about the affairs between Xiangxiang and Zhou Lanxin, he just inquired about Xiao Lie's affairs in Guangzhou, such as whether he had any property in Guangzhou, who he knew well , Why did you return to Shanghai and so on.

Halfway through the meal, a man came in and whispered a few words into Young Master Xiao's ear. Young Master Xiao's broad bean-sized eyes lit up, and he apologized to Xiangxiang, saying that something happened temporarily and he had to go first leave.

"I'll go with you." Zhou Lanxin raised her hand and stood up.

"No, it's inconvenient for me to take you with me. You can go back here by yourself after having dinner with Mr. Du." Then he turned to Xiangxiang: "I'm really sorry, but I have to go first when I invite Mr. Du to dinner. Treat you well for me, Miss." After finishing speaking, Young Master Xiao rushed away with a group of people with him.

Only Xiangxiang and Zhou Lanxin were left in the private room.

Zhou Lanxin opened the leather bag, took out a tin box, took out a cigarette from the box, struck a match and lit it, leaned her legs on the chair, and smoked slowly, during which she did not say a word.

Xiang Xiang looked at her for a long time, then said, "Miss Lan Xin."

She snorted coldly: "Miss Lan Xin, who is that?"

Xiangxiang sighed: "It doesn't matter if you don't admit it, but I didn't expect you to come to Shanghai, let alone meet you again. I heard that you are singing in the dance hall now."

Zhou Lanxin smoked a cigarette without answering a word, so Xiangxiang could only continue to say: "Since you don't want to talk, then goodbye."

Xiangxiang got up and was about to leave, but Zhou Lanxin suddenly slapped the table hard and said sharply, "Stop!"

"Did you make me like that, and leave without saying a word?"

"I made you like that?" Xiangxiang frowned.

I saw her viciously sweeping the things on the table to the ground, the knives and forks made a clanging sound, and the white porcelain dishes fell into pieces. She stared and said, "Who else could it be if it wasn't you! When I did that It's all thanks to your Du family, you still have the face to appear in front of me, pretending to be okay!"

Xiangxiang frowned even tighter, he narrowed his eyes and said, "Are you rescuing old scores? With me? You owe it to who you did that you know."

"If it wasn't for that old man who cut off our family's livelihood, I wouldn't have fallen into that kind of place. Your whole family owes me, owes me!" Zhou Lanxin raised her neck excitedly, showing all her veins: " Now that I have finally managed to live a better life, you are here, and I warn you, if you dare to tell about my past, I will fight you hard! When the time comes, we will go in and out with red knives."

Xiangxiang was a little impatient. Originally, he also felt that Zhou Lanxin was a little pitiful, and couldn't bear to sprinkle salt on her wounds, but he couldn't bear her naked slander: "Zhou Lanxin, do you know how you left the brothel?"

Zhou Lanxin paused. She really didn't know who redeemed her from that place at that time. Looking at the man in front of her, her heart skipped a beat. Could it be him?

"That's right, I was the one who ransomed you. Do you think I didn't inquire about you when I sent someone to ransom you? How dare you talk nonsense with red lips and white teeth, and just pour dirty water on others Splash it."

Zhou Lanxin's face turned pale, and she was so bitter that she couldn't speak.

"Master just sent someone to smash up your vegetable stall. Does this mean that your family's livelihood has been cut off? Will your family be unable to survive after smashing the stall once? I heard that your parents still buy vegetables in their hometown. My younger brother works as a long-term worker nearby, and even your sister and brother-in-law’s family has never changed. Why did you go to that kind of place alone? At that time, I really thought it was my family’s relationship that made you like that, which made me and my family almost There was a quarrel, and I found out after I sent someone to inquire about it. After you ran home, your parents married you to a lame fish seller. You thought he was poor and old, so you cheated on him with a male classmate in the past, right? ? After being found out, he eloped with that male classmate. It’s a pity that you met an unkind man. He has no money, no job, and no food. He sold you into a brothel for 100 yuan, right or wrong!”

Zhou Lanxin bit her lip, and suddenly sneered: "Yes, so what? Why should I marry an old and ugly cripple? I feel disgusted when I see him. You are also my former classmate. You have the heart to look at me Is it like that?"

As she spoke, she picked up a glass of wine on the table and poured it on Xiangxiang's body, crying and ran out.

Xiangxiang sat slumped on the chair, he felt a little weak in his body, he had never had such a fierce argument with anyone for many years, not to mention that the object of the argument was still a pretty poor woman.

No matter who you are, you have desires. Is it wrong to be true to your own desires?Can you criticize her approach?At first she wanted to pursue a rich life, but after her pursuit failed, she wanted to have someone who at least matched her appearance, but this era is not like a new society where freedom and democracy can be shouted 100 years later. Under the traditional ethics, their indulgent desires are The beginning of disaster.In the society 100 years later, women who are lost in various desires and cannot extricate themselves are almost everywhere, but they are lucky. Maybe they will also be condemned by public opinion, but they will not be condemned for violating the world's morals. Become a heinous sinner, so women in this era are sad.
