The heart of the pretender is sincere

Ah Cheng told Lingxi the whole story about Liu Lili, including his plan with his eldest brother in front of Nantian and his persona outside, all of which were clearly explained to Lingxi. I don't want someone to suddenly take out a photo in front of Lingxi to tell lies in the future, and I want to prevent any possibility of misunderstanding between them.

Lingxi smiled twice, and she thought of the 71 lives in Mengjia Village, "The Liu family father and son were all about clinging to the Japanese, but they died in the hands of the Japanese. Look who the heavens have spared!"

"Yeah, but it's really cheap for them to just die like this." Ah Cheng's eyes flashed. It's really easy to die these days, and it's a blessing to die happily.

"You hugged Liu Lili, I know I shouldn't do this and I should even thank her, you passed the risk that should be borne by me to her, but I'm just stingy, I don't want you to hug her." Lingxi thought Her words were a little teasing, but she still felt aggrieved.

Ah Cheng touched her head, "It's not your stinginess but my problem. I can't protect you without hurting her, so you don't need to feel guilty because I'm sorry for her."

Even if Ah Cheng said so, it is false not to feel guilty. Why would they put other girls in a dangerous place? It’s just that this matter has already happened and there is no way to change it. Then we have to think about how to make up for it, Lingxi She raised her head and looked at him, "Should we give her some money? It's not easy for the two of them, mother and daughter, to live in this troubled world, and they will need money everywhere in their lives. If you don't give too much, will you think we are Are you insulting them?"

"I gave it to her before, but she refused to accept it, so I found my elder brother, who has already greeted the clan elders in Suzhou. As long as their mother and daughter are still in the boundary of Suzhou, they will protect them a little bit, so Do not worry."

She finally relaxed a little bit, thinking that there would be no problem if the eldest brother came forward, she thought of the scene between them and Nantian again, "Then do I want to lose my temper with you now to cooperate with you to finish this scene?" A play?"

Ah Cheng shook his head, "Not for now, they may not be able to use this photo after they took it, just in case you receive this photo one day, you can just get angry with me again, now you just pretend you don't know about it."

Since this is the case, Lingxi decided not to think about this question for the time being. She remembered that Chen Xuanyu invited her to the celebration ball at the Japanese Consulate a few days later. She dragged Ah Cheng to the closet and discussed with him which one would be better to wear.

"Brother and I are not going to this reception, so you should not go either, I don't worry about you alone." Ah Cheng knew that Mingtai would definitely go to this reception, and if Lingxi went, it might affect Mingtai's completion The task, it seems that there must be a reason to stop her.

"But I've promised her, can't you really go? You can't go with me?" Lingxi roughly picked out a few suitable dresses and put them on the bed, "You can help me choose some clothes first."

Ah Cheng looked at the few dresses on the bed, and suddenly felt that these colors were a little eye-catching. He hugged Lingxi's waist from behind and leaned his chin on her shoulder, "Then find a reason, you know the kind The reception is actually quite boring, and most of them are Japanese, if you go there alone, a piece of meat will fall into the wolf's den!"

"You are a bit alarmist. I am from the Ming family. The eldest brother is still in the position, and there is Chen Xuanyu. No one has the guts of a bear." Lingxi was held tightly by Ah Cheng. Then he turned around and pushed him away vigorously, and looked at Ah Cheng with a hesitant look on his face, "You stop me like this, do you have a mission? I know the person doing the mission?"

"I just don't want you to go to the dance alone. You haven't danced with me since I returned to China. You are not allowed to dance with other men before me!" Ah Cheng thought for a while and decided to change the topic. He bent down and stretched out his right hand to make a standard dance invitation, "Beautiful lady, may I invite you to dance now?"

Lingxi looked at Ah Cheng in front of him and helplessly put down the clothes in his hands and put his hands on his hands, "I haven't danced for many years, so I actually don't know how to dance, and how can I dance without music."

Music and everything else are trivial matters. Ah Cheng quickly embraced the beautiful woman's slender waist. In his opinion, Lingxi must be modest when she said that she can't dance. Which young lady from aristocratic family can't dance these days, it's all about whether she dances well or not , but soon he found that Lingxi might not be very good at dancing. Her limbs were a little stiff, and she was all focused on her feet for fear of stepping on the wrong foot. "Don't stare at your feet all the time, just relax and follow me. , It doesn’t matter if you jump wrong, anyway, no one will see it.”

Lingxi kept counting the beats in her head and at the same time paid attention to the steps under her feet. As soon as Ah Cheng spoke, her concentration was disrupted, and she stepped on the wrong beat several times in a row. When I speak, it disturbs my counting time, you let me find my own feeling."

Seeing her coquettish look, Ah Cheng couldn't help laughing, he rubbed her head, "Okay, it's my fault, I promise not to talk without your permission, you take your time to find the feeling. "

The dance moves again, Lingxi is still looking for her with her head down, but Ah Cheng feels that Lingxi seems to be more proficient, and gradually she can no longer look at her feet, but the room is a little small, which affects her performance.After finding the feeling, Lingxi slowly followed Ah Cheng's steps, obviously jumping better and better.

"Dad said that I must dance with him on the first dance after I'm full. I haven't danced for almost eight years now, so I have fulfilled your request."

Ah Cheng was a little surprised. Lingxi kept her promise to her father, but was willing to dance with him, "So, I beat Uncle!"

Lingxi laughed a little. In fact, she has never been able to understand men's strange possessiveness and desire to win. "Then you haven't told me yet. Do you have a mission? It's at the Japanese consulate."

Ah Cheng didn't expect his topic to diverge here, and Lingxi was able to go back to the original question, "I can't tell you whether there is a task or not, this is organizational discipline.

"Hmph! I don't want to know about your mission." Lingxi was obviously upset, but when the subject changed, she smiled again, "Brother Ah Cheng, didn't you major in economics in college, then you must have read Marx's "Das Kapital."

"Well, I have read it, so what?"

Lingxi kept dancing, "Capitalism is the exploitation of social surplus value and oppression of the working people. We should oppose exploitation and resist oppression. Do you agree with this sentence?"

Ah Cheng didn't quite understand Lingxi's meaning, "Miss Li, you are a capitalist yourself, you are not qualified to say such a thing, are you going to oppose yourself?!"

"I'm not talking about an individual but rising to the country. I am indeed a capitalist, but I am an individual. I exploit the working people but I also assume corresponding social responsibilities. For example, I pay huge taxes to the government and I also contribute to the society. It has provided many jobs and has done its part to promote the harmonious development of the society. So of course individuals can be capitalists, otherwise is this society a harmonious society? But the country cannot. The country is to serve the people. If you are a country To exploit the working people at the bottom, and the country does not protect its own citizens and only serves the capital, then the society of this country will definitely be in turmoil and will not exist for a long time. Therefore, judging from the actual situation, the capitalist society is not in line with China today. In terms of national conditions and development, the only way to save China is to follow the socialist road of the Soviet Union and unswervingly develop socialism.”

"Having said so much, you just want to instigate me against me. Where did you learn the fallacy, and you still have a set of tricks."

Lingxi nodded, "Yes, I want to instigate you, and this is not a fallacy, it is the truth tested by practice!"

Ah Cheng suddenly wanted to see how far Lingxi's instigation could go. He raised his eyebrows, "You didn't even join them, so why did you instigate me? It has nothing to do with you."

Lingxi was a little anxious. What she was most afraid of was Ah Cheng's indifferent attitude, and she only took her words as a joke, "How can it be irrelevant, Brother Ah Cheng, have you ever thought that now it is the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, and we will fight in the future?" After the Japanese are withdrawn, the rest may be civil war, and how will we deal with ourselves at that time."

Ah Cheng naturally knew about this question, but there was no such question between them at all, so he never thought about it, Lingxi asked him for a while, but he didn't know how to answer it.

"Brother Ah Cheng, are you thinking that the two parties can coexist? You must know that others are not allowed to snore on the side of the couch. Your Chairman Jiang is not a generous person. Everyone knows how the first cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party broke down." I know it well, and after Xi’an’s remonstrance, the two generals Zhang and Yang should still be imprisoned in Chongqing.”

The more Ah Cheng listened, the more frightened he became, he stopped dancing and quickly covered Lingxi's mouth, "My little aunt, can you say such nonsense, you can take it easy!"

Lingxi was very happy to see Ah Cheng's terrified expression. What she wanted was this effect, she smiled and pulled Ah Cheng's hand away, "Brother Ah Cheng, let me tell you another secret, I am a half-immortal, I can pinch I know how to count, I'll count on your boss Dai and Chairman Wang are not long-lived faces, and they won't live well for a few years, you'd better switch to the camp earlier or else..."

Ah Cheng hurriedly covered Lingxi's mouth again. He felt that if he died one day, he must be scared to death by Lingxi. She dared to say anything outside her grades, so No matter how Ren Lingxi pulled his hand this time, he didn't let go.

He looked at Lingxi seriously, "Don't say that in the future!"

Lingxi nodded hurriedly.

"Don't say anything at home or outside!"

Those who know current affairs are Junjie, nodding wildly.

Ah Cheng finally let go of his hand, he saw Lingxi rubbing against him with bright eyes and hugging his arm, he smiled smugly.He curled up his fingers and tapped her forehead, "What kind of expression do you have, you still don't know what's wrong, be careful, big brother knows the law and told you to do it, last time you were punished to stand for two hours, you forgot!"

Lingxi rubbed his arm coquettishly, "I'm telling you this in private, and I don't tell outsiders. I just want to distinguish the pros and cons with you so that you can see it more clearly. How can my instigation today have any effect? ?”

Ah Cheng wanted to laugh, "For us to instigate a rebellion, we must first find out the details of the other party's personality, then discuss the motives and methods of instigating the rebellion, and then determine who instigates the rebellion and formulate a set of rhetoric. It’s okay if you instigated me with just a few words, but it’s not impossible to instigate me.”

Lingxi, who was still very disappointed,'s eyes lit up again, "What method?"

Ah Cheng took out the arm that was held by her and sat down at the end of her bed, and tapped his lips with his finger, "Whether you can instigate me depends on your ability, after all, I only eat your beauty! Man! Trick! "

As soon as these words came out, Lingxi knew that Ah Cheng was teasing her, she turned her head and continued to choose her dress, "Beauty tricks, you can find someone outside to use beauty tricks, I will not use beauty tricks."

Ah Cheng naturally also knew that Lingxi would not listen to his request, and it was just a joke, just to let her face the difficulties and stop thinking about it after she retreated. What they say is fatal, and if they say it in private, it's fine, if they really want to put it outside, they would have died hundreds of times.

Lingxi picks up the clothes on the bed one by one, but what she thinks about is still the matter of instigating rebellion, she should get rid of this matter sooner, if she can't even instigate Ah Cheng, let alone elder brother, but as long as she Successfully instigated Ah Cheng, the eldest brother should be able to hand it over to the eldest sister.

Ah Cheng was still thinking about how to stop Lingxi from going to the consulate's ball, but suddenly he heard the sound of wooden hangers smashing together. He recovered and found Lingxi dropped the two dresses in his hand on the bed, with a very unhappy expression on his face There was a little taste of seeing death as home, and he asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?"

Lingxi didn't speak but looked at Ah Cheng, and after thinking for a long time, she threw her whole body on Ah Cheng's body. He was thrown down by her when he was unprepared. Fortunately, there was a bed behind him.

Ah Cheng was taken aback, and in his panic, he still didn't forget to hug Lingxi for fear that she would be bumped and hurt, but he didn't think that before he recovered, Lingxi took a bite on his Adam's apple. Ah Cheng pushed her away with great difficulty.

"Lingxi, what are you doing?!"

"Beauty~person~design~"

***

In the end, Lingxi felt that she should be a dove to Chen Xuanyu. She had a hot brain and used a beauty trick, and then the two of them couldn't control it well, and the scale and scope were a bit large. Although the final bottom line was still held, it turned out that The gown that was left on the bed was crumpled by their tossing and turning. It wasn't a little bit crumpled, but it was so crumpled that it couldn't be seen. Even after Ah Cheng tried to save it and ironed it with tools for a long time, it didn't recover much.

Of course, it’s fine if it’s just the dress. After all, the clothes can be bought again. It’s just that Lingxi has a string of strawberry marks on the side of her neck, which can’t be covered even by wearing a high-necked cheongsam. Her skin is white and the marks are particularly obvious, and It’s not easy to get rid of it. According to past experience, it takes about five or six days for it to fade completely. In this era, there is no concealer for her to use, and the effect of foundation is not very good. Fortunately, she has long hair and put it in front to cover it. One or two, as long as the movements are a little smaller, it won't be obvious, but Ah Cheng is more difficult, and his marks are also clustered at the Adam's apple. Lingxi tried the foundation on him, but the effect was even worse when he used it. Xi's complexion is two degrees whiter than Ah Cheng's, so the color of the foundation doesn't match Ah Cheng's skin tone very well, and it can barely cover a little trace after using it, and it will be awkward if used a little more. Also for the sake of his own reputation, Ah Cheng dragged Lingxi to mix it with painting paint for most of the night, and finally mixed a color similar to his own skin color to cover up the marks.

Ah Cheng still told Minglou about being instigated by Lingxi, and of course skipped the part about beauty tricks. to use.Then he casually took a copy of the inner chapters of "The Analects of Confucius" and "Zhuangzi" to Lingxi, saying that a friend is a school teacher, and he needs textbooks to teach the school children, and asked her and Ah Cheng to copy them by themselves with a brush. One, and he thanked them on behalf of the students at the school.

At first, Lingxi didn't think there was any problem. After all, the eldest brother was very sincere when he said it, and she was punished by her grandfather to copy books since she was a child. For this reason, she didn't pay attention and copied the famous sentence "There is a fish in the North, and its name is Kun, and the Kun is so big that it can't be stewed in a pot", but the more she wrote it, the more she felt something was wrong.

Lingxi put the pen on the inkstone, "But brother Ah Cheng, it's so strange."

"It's so strange." Ah Cheng tried hard to copy the book without raising his head.

"Brother's friends need these two books. Brother, go and buy two copies and send them over. Why do you want us to copy them? Although these two books are not thick, it is really tiring to copy them with a brush. You can only copy at home."

"So you're just reacting now?"

"what?"

Ah Cheng also put the pen on the inkstone, and pointed Lingxi's forehead with his upper finger, "Oh, what, write quickly, don't write that pot of stew anymore, or I will punish you to copy it again when the elder brother sees it." !"

Lingxi was very aggrieved, "I trust my brother so much, but my brother is punishing me?? Why did my brother punish me? I didn't do anything bad!"

At this time, Minglou came into the study from the living room with a newspaper, and he smiled when he heard Lingxi's words, "I haven't done anything bad yet, do you think I don't know about the two of you mixing paint in the middle of the night! Upstairs and downstairs It's making a lot of noise running!"

"Ahem, cough, me, me, me..."

"Cough cough cough cough cough cough..."
