Two days later, Sister Fuling stopped working in Fenghai, and her room was tidied up, just like her, delicate and capable, and she would not bother others when she left.

Xiaoxiao hid in her room and didn't go to see her off. Hua Manyi and the sisters downstairs sent off Sister Fuling, and Nuo Da's dance hall returned to its original vitality and excitement.

The snow in front of the door was getting thicker every morning, but it was quickly shoveled off in time.Soon, the sisters noticed that Xiaoxiao had been depressed for the past few days, thinking that something happened to her family, they stepped forward to care for her.

Xiaoxiao had no choice but to reply one by one with a smile on her face. Only Hua Manyi knew what was going on. She went to the street two days ago and heard the news that Sister Fuling returned to her hometown to get married. When they came together, they lied that their eyes were swollen from the cold the night before.

Hua Manyi saw it, and her heart was extremely complicated, and it was not good to intervene. If she intervened, it would appear that she was gossiping and meddling.

"Man Yi, you and Mama Gong will go to Paramount tonight, remember to dress up nicely." Sister Fang came to her suddenly and said such a thing.

Hua Manyi was surprised, and put down the lavender sachet she had just sewn in her hand, "Paramount? Where is that?"

Fang Yu replied to her, "It's also a dance hall."

And it is more luxurious and extravagant than Fenghai.Standing four or five stories high, it is an obvious Baroque building, with white bricks and tiles, arched balconies, and uneven stained glass windows, which are extremely symmetrical.

When Hua Manyi got off Gong Yan's Ford car, she saw such a scene. The gate in front of the door was tall and magnificent, and there was a string of arched English letters "PARAMOUMT" on the "Paramount" plaque. At night, the sky is as dark as ink, but this building is as bright as day, with golden lights shining from top to bottom. This is the largest social venue in Haicheng.

Gong's mother was waiting for her in front, Hua Manyi trotted forward when she saw this, stepped on her high heels and carefully took her hand, Gong Yan glanced at the extra thin hand on her arm, said nothing, just pretended that she hadn't seen her After this kind of scene, I felt timid.

Sister Fang stood on the other side, covered her mouth and smiled when she saw her like that, sure enough, the underage girls are full of vitality.

The three of them are all very outstanding in appearance, one is young and charming, one is lazy and arrogant, and the other is mature, but there is no big age difference.

The number of famous nobles who came tonight is twice as high as usual. In front of Bailemen, there are pick-up vehicles for rich young masters and aunts. They all have a happy chat. When they get out of the car and see a beggar approaching, they all turn away in disgust. With a proud face, tell the servants to drive away these homeless people quickly, and don't dirty their eyes in front of them.

"Hey, Fourth Aunt Meng, I heard that your son has returned from studying abroad and drank foreign ink for several years. When will you bring it out for our sisters to see?" A gorgeous lady held an aunt with her left hand. Holding an aunt with her right hand, several of them were entering Paramount together.

The Fourth Aunt Meng was very upset, these people were going to see her mother's jokes, didn't they just want to see if her son would still have his place in the family after he came back?She is not as good as they want!

"I'm learning to do business with his father these days. It's convenient to be able to speak fluent English when dealing with foreigners. His father can't do without him now. Let's talk about it after two days when he's not too busy!"

"Really?" The lady who asked the question was not convinced. There are three other concubines in the Meng Mansion, all of whom have sons, and their methods are not bad. Brothers stepped in.

Fourth Aunt Meng smiled smugly, "Could I lie to you?"

"Boss Sun should be in a hurry, let's go, people are freezing to death outside, hurry up and go in." The other Aunt Chen couldn't stand it anymore, and the two would poke each other's hearts, annoyed to death, "You don't go in , then I’ll go in by myself.”

"Don't!" The two said in unison, glared at each other and followed.

Entering Paramount, there is a brick-high platform in the center of the hall, with steps on three sides, the platform is covered with red blankets, and behind it are winding stairs from both sides. Dancers stand on the platform and sing. A board with glowing lines spreading out from the middle, like a huge shell.

Hua Manyi has gained insight, and it turns out that this is Haicheng's gold-selling cave. Compared with Fenghai, this place is completely a social place for upper-class people, and it is common to have fun.

They sat on the left seat with Gong Ma, and a waiter poured wine for them.

Hua Manyi figured it out, it was the [-]th birthday of Boss Sun of Paramount, and he had invited various dignitaries and dignitaries to celebrate the occasion. No wonder Uncle Fu gave them gifts when they first entered the door.Dare to love is a gift from Gong's mother to Boss Sun.

"Everyone here can participate in my Sun's [-]th birthday, it is my honor and blessing..." The man holding the microphone on the stage turned into a man, it seems to be this Boss Sun, and said eloquently A bunch of polite words, and the people below applauded and echoed it.

"I, Sun, will definitely entertain everyone with the highest treatment. I, Sun, will pay for all the consumption of Paramount tonight. Ladies and gentlemen, please enjoy yourself!"

"Boss Sun is generous!"

Soon, everyone realized what the highest treatment Boss Sun was talking about was.

The music on the stage changed, and the clear sound of lingling came from a woman with her back turned. The woman was slim and thin, and she was wearing an indigo sleeveless cheongsam that twisted gently with the melody. The complicated and symmetrical patterns added a bit of nobility. .

Hua Manyi heard the men around her yelling a name excitedly, it seemed to be "Jiang Yin", she didn't know very well, when she looked at the stage, the woman on the stage turned around, revealing a face full of water .At first glance, Hua Manyi felt that this woman had a sense of fragility, her skin was a little fairer than ordinary people, her clavicle was obviously thinner, and the protruding part of the bone formed a thin, thin strip with Bai Shengxue's skin. The lines are so beautiful and eye-catching.

Very thin and fragile, but it doesn't give people the illusion of being too thin, as if that's what she looks like.

Hua Manyi couldn't help looking at it twice, and felt a little familiar, but couldn't remember it for a while.

She couldn't help asking, "Who is she?"

But the woman sitting across from her seemed to have never heard of it, her legs were crossed, smoking a cigarette, her eyes were still as lazy as usual, but she was looking at the stage from beginning to end.

It was as if being attracted by the people above.

Hua Manyi was stunned, something flashed through her mind quickly, and before she could catch it, Sister Fang who was sitting beside her interrupted her thoughts.

"Her name is Jiang Yin, the top singer of Paramount, the most famous singer in Haicheng, and those movie directors have asked her to act."

Fang Yu glanced at her, thinking that she had been hit, "Although you sing well, you are no worse than her, Manyi."

Each has its own style.

Otherwise, the child would not have attracted most of Paramount's guests when he sang on stage for the first time that day.

"Oh..." Hua Manyi replied absent-mindedly, her eyes slowly shifted from Mama Gong's face to the stage, and that shadow was reflected in her pupils, making her lose her mind for a moment.

"Come on, drink." Fang Yu poured wine for Hua Manyi and asked her to drink, but tactfully did not disturb the woman beside him, "Manyi, do you know what this wine is called?"

Hua Manyi forced herself to look at Fang Yu, and smiled, "What's your name?"

Fang Yu raised the goblet and shook it, "It's called Falcoplan wine, try it, isn't it delicious?"

Hua Manyi took a sip, savoring it carefully, the mouth was slightly astringent, like the mouth of ordinary wine, but soon a sweetness exploded in the mouth before it reached the throat, like a white plum blossoming suddenly in the cold night.

Very strange feeling.

Hua Manyi's eyes suddenly became pleasantly surprised. She fell in love with this kind of wine, thinking about whether it is expensive or not. If it is expensive, ask Gong Mama to order more of this kind of wine in Fenghai. If she goes to drink with her, she will recommend it by the way. Those who are taken advantage of by drinking can drink it by themselves, which really kills two birds with one stone.

The little abacus made a lot of calculations, but Fang Yu said leisurely again, "This is made by Gong Ma's Luhe Winery."

"Mama Gong brewed it?" Hua Manyi was startled, and looked at the opposite woman with doubts, but Fu Bo was standing next to her, and she turned sideways as if ordering something.

Forbe nodded, turned around and went down.

Mama Gong turned her head to look at the two of them, and before Hua Manyi could speak, Mama Gong said, "I will ask Uncle Fu to send you back tonight."

"What about you?" Hua Manyi subconsciously said, but Fang Yu accepted the arrangement without objection, "Fang Yu will take good care of Manyi."

Holding the wine glass, Hua Manyi was dumb, not knowing what to say, asking too many questions made her appear to be neither big nor small.

When the banquet was about to end, the woman on the stage received a bouquet of flowers, very romantic blue snowflakes, which looked very special under the bright red and white rose bouquets.

When Hua Manyi and Fang Yu went out and were about to go back, they looked back inexplicably, and saw the delicate and fragile woman holding a bouquet of flowers when she put down the microphone, her eyes were looking at a certain place below the stage, showing a faint smile .

"What's wrong?" Fang Yu noticed her strangeness.

Hua Manyi shook her head, suppressed the discomfort in her heart, and said as if nothing had happened, "No, Sister Fang, let's go back."

It was snowing outside, Gong Ma's Ford car was covered with a thin layer of snow, Uncle Fu drove them back to Fenghai, the wind and snow were whistling behind the car's buttocks, and the lights of the two cars shone in the cold night , like a night traveler walking alone.

After about an hour, the car stopped.

"Here we are, Miss Fang Yu, Miss Manyi." Fu Bo opened the car door for them.

Fang Yu calmly got out of the car, "Thank you, Uncle Fu."

Forbe accepted humbly, "It should."

Fang Yu took two steps towards Fenghai, and suddenly realized that the people behind her hadn't followed, she couldn't help but look back.

Uncle Fu was stopped by someone, and Hua Manyi stood in front of him, frowned and asked in a low voice, "Uncle Fu, will Mama Gong come back tonight? Are you going to Paramount to pick her up later?" "

Fu Bo replied a few words, and then drove away.

The snow fell on the little girl's head, shoulders, and even her ruddy face. At that moment, she looked confused and lost, just like a little girl who lost her way in a snowy night.

Fang Yu frowned, feeling like he had overlooked something.

"I'm going back, I'm going to close the door, Manyi." She couldn't figure it out, so she called Hua Manyi.

"okay."

Seeing that people were following, Fang Yu didn't plan to study it any further. It was freezing cold, so she quickly took a shower and went back to bed to sleep.
