Findings at sea

When Ji Xingtang woke up in the morning, she looked at Ruoyu, who was still asleep, and saw a little red eczema on her face.

When Ruoyu woke up, Ji Xingtang was shaving. He rubbed his eyes and kicked his shoes in a daze while pouted, "Brother, I don't feel comfortable all over."

Ji Xingtang put down the razor, wiped it with a wet towel, handed the mirror to Ruoyu, and asked softly, "Do you have any on you?"

Ruoyu looked at herself in the mirror, there were red spots one after another on her fair face, she didn't notice it at first, but when she saw it, she felt itchy, and wanted to reach out and scratch it.

Ji Xingtang hurriedly grabbed his hand, "Don't move around, don't leave any scars when you earn face, wash it with Western soap first."

Ruoyu unbuttoned her collar and looked, but there was nothing on her body, and she didn't mind pulling her shoes to brush her teeth.

"The toothpaste essence is gone. I'll use coarse salt to make do with it. My mouth feels uncomfortable. There are fruits on the table," Ji Xingtang said before dressing up and going out. Running around", patted his face lightly, "Don't scratch your face."

Ruoyu took the playbook and used a toothpick to put the cherries in his mouth, spat out the core and asked, "Brother, what are you doing?"

Ji Xingtang put on her hat, straightened her suit and tie and said, "You can really hold your breath, the noise outside is going to blow up the roof. I was thinking of sending you to Wang Shaoqing, but you had rashes on your face again. As soon as it gets to the fifteenth day of the first month, I'll get you some medicine first, and then go to Mu's house to discuss how to deal with this matter." He paused and said, "This room is a bit damp, I'll come back and change you to a sunny one. "

Ruoyu looked up and smiled, "Didn't you always say that the roots are deep and you are not afraid of the wind shaking, and your body is not afraid of the shadow slanting. Why can't I hold back, you go early and return early, I will stay bored by myself."

Ruoyu didn't wait for Ji Xingtang to come, but waited for her friend to come first.At lunch time, the waiter knocked on the door and came in to deliver the food. As soon as he left, the door was closed with a "bang", and the perverse voice pierced into the ears like a thunderstorm, "Little dear."

When Ruoyu saw Mu Ke, she was so angry that she felt uncomfortable all over. She gritted her teeth and clenched her chopsticks and stared at him, "Whoever asked you to come in, whoever allowed you to come in! Get out!"

Mu Ke was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed loudly, "Hey, I haven't seen you for a few days, why did I get a red rash on my face... Ugly."

It doesn't look like an ugly monster, it seems... like a rampant sika deer crashing into his heart.

Mu Ke approached unhurriedly, and said, "I know what a word is worth. I put in seven Mausers and three Maxim, and then I got the three words "Yipin Pavilion" out of Du Zihao's mouth. "

Ruoyu was standing at the side of the dining table, Mu Ke was getting closer and closer, and his hips rubbed against the edge of the table to move away.Mu Ke raised his eyebrows and squinted at him for a moment, then blatantly closed the curtains.

"You broke in suddenly in the blue sky, what are you doing pulling the curtains! If you dare to mess around, I will kill you today!"

Mu Ke grabbed him and stretched out his hand to stop him, his arms as powerful as iron hoops tightly bound him, Mu Ke put his finger on Ruoyu's lips and "shh", looked down at Ruoyu and asked with a soft smile, "Hey, do you think I didn't?"

Ruoyu struggled a few times without breaking away, tilted his head and squinted at him, his eyes were always straightforward, his watery black eyes were full of provocation and resentment, "I think, I miss you so much, I I've been thinking about how to kill your dog all day long!"

The annoyed Mu Ke was, the more he liked to tease him. He scratched his chin with his fingers like a cat or a dog, and begged softly, "I miss you too. I miss you so much. I missed you last night. No. Be good, let me kiss, just one."

Before Ruoyu could answer, Mu Ke held his chin and kissed him.He has an addiction to kissing, he gets agitated easily when he kisses, and when he gets agitated, he farts when he speaks, and he raises his hand to support the back of Ruoyu's head.

Ruoyu's push and dodge was ineffective, her jaw closed, and the small fangs bit his tongue, and Mu Ke who bit him suddenly raised his head, "Oh!"

Ruoyu just wanted to bite his flesh, and she felt elated when she heard him howl, "Repay your grievance with virtue, I will bite your tongue for you so that you can be reborn early!"

Mu Ke was not angry, stuck out his tongue and slapped it, grinning and said vaguely, "No, it hurts to death, you have to rub it with your tongue!"

Ruoyu looked at his hideous hippie smile, and spat at him, "Bah!"

Mu Ke was really anxious, and suddenly hugged him tightly, his tongue was stirring in his mouth like a gust of wind sweeping fallen leaves.

But Ruoyu blushed, the color of peach petals, and his heart was so disturbed by his rubbing, it made him sick to death.

Ruoyu was wearing a light brown long gown. Mu Ke started to lift his gown. It was not easy to lift the gown when it reached his ankles, so he reached out to unbutton his gown. I lifted the cotton padded jacket and the jacket, the mountains were so tight that Mu Ke broke into sweat, "Every time I see you, you are wrapped tighter than a rice dumpling."

Ruoyu bent his knees and kicked him in the stomach, pushed him away from her body, and lowered her head to fasten the buttons of her jacket: "Shameless! Get out of here quickly! I won't provoke you, evil people will be tortured by evil people! Be careful I will turn my face! "

As soon as the Mu family got angry, he patted his stomach and turned around, pushing Ruoyu against the wall, rubbing against the wall through his clothes, restraining him and shoving him onto the bed, crushing him on the bed, "I'm a villain!" You are not a villain, little villain, if you make me ill and don’t give me treatment, it will be too late when I am terminally ill.”

Ruoyu bit and kicked and her eyes turned red, she straightened her arms, groped with her fingertips on the pillow cabinet, pushed Mu Ke away suddenly, jumped out of bed and staggered a few steps, grabbed the paper scissors, Unable to stand still, he twisted his body and tried to stab Mu Ke in the heart.

Mu Ke didn't move, and said casually, "If you can't cover your heart or let me warm your body, you want to kill me, come on."

Ruoyu gasped for breath, the point of the saber was facing each other, the arrow was on the string, missed a few inches and pierced his arm.

Ruoyu's eyes were full of panic, Mu Ke frowned slightly, the two looked at each other for a moment, Mu Ke let go of his hand holding the scissors, and pulled out the scissors, Ruoyu stopped talking, Mu Ke threw the scissors on the ground After throwing it, there was only a short panting after the sound of hitting the ground.

Ruoyu was defeated first, he didn't know how to hold a knife and a gun, so he was forced to do nothing, so he lowered his head and shrugged his shoulders and sobbed, "How did I provoke you? The previous one is not counted, but you are so powerful again Me. I am like this now, and you still force me to sleep with you, are you still human?"

Mu Ke hated him the most when he gave in. He was at a loss for a moment, and remembered what Du Zihao said yesterday: You just haven't grown up in your brain, and you only met a few times. Before people recognize what you look like, you just What are you doing to people, and you still expect people to speak nicely to you, so let me ask you, can you stand it?Can't stand it?Your heart is towards him, but it's too late for people to be disgusting, and sooner or later you will be forced to do nothing.

Mu Ke was so anxious that he casually flipped a piece of cloth on the table, and saw the playbook "A Kite Mistake" on the table from the corner of his eye——

"Good things never go wrong"

The world is chaotic, and people are confused, who can say for sure.

Mu Ke reached out and wiped his face, "Don't cry, does your face hurt? It will get worse later."

Ruoyu was as wilted as a wilted cabbage leaf.

Mu Ke pushed Ruoyu to the bed, let him lie flat, his arms were tightly wrapped around his arms, his legs crossed his body to hook him, and he turned his head to gasp on his cochlea, "Have you ever seen a sika deer?" No? I have a classmate of Fengtian, his hometown is full of wild forests, when will he take us to see it, it is much more beautiful than the tiger and leopard heads in the circus."

Mu Ke buried his head in his neck, and said softly, "Don't embarrass me, please, I like you."

Ruoyu closed her eyes, hot tears flowed from the slits, "I hate you."

Knowing that Ye Quer is not missing arms or legs, can eat, drink, jump and even poke himself, Mu Ke is at ease. He didn't close his eyes all night last night, and now he is not hungry, so he can be regarded as sleeping soundly.

Ji Xingtang took the medicine for Ruoyu and left the Tongren Medical Center, walking on the noisy street, preparing to go to Mu's house.

A woman in high heels walked up to her. She looked about 20 years old. She was wearing a high-necked pink brocade cheongsam with exquisitely crafted jasmine flowers on the piping, and a lotus-colored soft waistcoat.The big curly waves are neatly draped behind her back, and her eyebrows and bangs are also slightly curly when she gets close. With a little powder and daisy, she has clean eyebrows and eyes, and an exquisite mouth and nose.

Behind the woman were two men in suits and leather shoes, who looked like bodyguards.

Ji Xingtang smiled and walked forward, "Wan Xiang."

This girl is Du Wanxiang, Du Jinming's niece.

Du Wanxiang turned her head to look at the people following behind her, her eyes waved and she swept the pink leather bag in her hand helplessly, then she clenched her hands and turned her head, and said with lowered eyelashes, "Go there and wait first, Brother Ji San here."

The bodyguard called "Second Lord is good", looked at each other and nodded.

Du Wanxiang raised her head and called out, "Brother Ji San."

I haven't said anything yet, I am so wronged, and a tear bursts out of my eyes.

Confused, Ji Xingtang took out a handkerchief from her arms and handed it to her, "Wan Xiang, what's wrong?"

Du Wanxiang took the handkerchief and gently dabbed it with tears. His watery eyes were filled with bloodshot spots. He turned his head to look at the people behind him, and said, "Third brother, I didn't expect to meet you on the street. There's something I want to tell you."

Ji Xingtang looked at his watch. It was still early, so the two walked to a coffee shop.The coffee shop is filled with the smell of cocoa beans, western music and petty bourgeoisie. The waiter bends down to gently put the coffee on the tea table, and adds a few spoonfuls of sugar with a smile while holding a small spoon.

When the waiter left, Ji Xingtang said, "Wan Xiang, I'm a straightforward person, so you don't need to hide from me, just speak up if you have any grievances."

Du Wanxiang looked at Ji Xingtang, rolled her eyes and shed two more tears. She held Ji Xingtang's hand holding the spoon with her snow-white hand, and her eyes were full of pleading, "Third brother, promise auntie, I can't marry Mu Er Master."

"What?" Ji Xingtang was at a loss for a moment, and patted the back of her hand reassuringly, "Wan Xiang, what did you say? Sister Xiang wants to marry you to Mu Ke?"

Du Wanxiang nodded with tears, "Old Mr. Mu just found his uncle and aunt a few days ago. They planned a marriage together and let me marry into the Mu family as the second young lady." The dandy prodigal son, and now he is making such a show with Brother Bai again, not to mention the deep love, even if An Sheng can't survive, I don't agree. I don't know why my uncle and aunt readily agreed. , I was afraid that I would run away, so I sent people to follow me every step of the way, and said... and said that the wedding date is set on the fifteenth day of the first month, what do you think I should do?"

Ji Xingtang frowned slightly. Du Jinming and Mu Rusong were old buddies, and they were friends in private. But ever since Mu Rusong decided to clean up his sins, he had absolutely no entanglements with the gang in business. Mu Rusong was an absolute clear water merchant. This is also the reason why no one in the gang holds shares in his mine to this day.

Soldiers are the major events of the country, the place of life and death, and the way of survival.The source power of the arsenal is the coal mine. It is uncertain whether the situation is chaotic or not. The government will not stop making weapons. With the shares of the mine, you can deal with the officialdom. The profit is everyone's envy.However, no one dared to force Mu Rusong to give him shares, after all, Du Jinming's face was there.Could it be that Mu Rusong is also joining forces with the gang?In comparison, wouldn't the power of the eldest brother and the second brother be a little weaker?

Ji Xingtang's mind is a little confused, now is not the time to think about business and influence.Ruoyu is his good younger brother, who is wronged for a while; Wan Xiang is his good sister, who is wronged for a lifetime, but the palms and backs of his hands are full of flesh, and Mu Ke disturbs his good days. Now I just want to grab that bastard and beat him up.

Ji Xingtang comforted, "Wan Xiang, don't worry, listen to me: first, Mr. Mu is a person who cares about face, and if his son did such a thing to discredit his own family, he must first find some way to suppress it." Pressure, but it’s just out of affection, he doesn’t want to have too much involvement with us, maybe it’s just a gimmick; second, Mu Ke’s way is very wild, it’s the time when he is young and energetic, eating, drinking and having fun. The master can't control his people, let alone his heart, don't say you two don't know each other well, even if he likes you a little bit, he may not agree to marry you; third, you grew up under sister Xiang's knees since you were young , those feelings are still there, if you are unwilling to die, she will not ignore your feelings. This matter has not yet been settled, and I will deal with this matter today, so don't hold this breath in your heart. Take it easy, it's okay."

Hearing what Ji Xingtang said, Du Wanxiang nodded repeatedly as if drinking a cup of hot water to warm her heart, "Third Brother, I'll follow your orders."

After seeing off Du Wanxiang, Ji Xingtang left the cafe and walked for a while to the main square. The chiming clock rang twice, and when she looked up, it was eleven o'clock.He was about to turn to the Mu Mansion, but he was stopped by someone before taking two steps.

The one who stopped him this time was not a good person - the shareholders of the six giants.

The cause of the matter still lies in Hao Guan.

In Shanghai, the existence of casinos is recognized by everyone, but it is also an underground industry. If the government intends to suppress it, the operation of casinos will definitely encounter difficulties.

Haoguan is located at the junction of the public concession and the French concession, which is a security buffer zone, and business is relatively easy.

The nature of gambling activities is very special, and security measures in casinos are necessary. On weekdays, the gates are locked tightly, and credentials are required for entry and exit. There are people patrolling the gate with guns.

Under Bai Xiaohong's painstaking management, Haoguan is resplendent and resplendent, accommodating many famous old gamblers in Shanghai. Haoguan's gambling reputation has also become a sensation all over the country. Gambling cave is a quick gamble.Hao Guan's reputation is getting bigger and bigger, gamblers from all over the world flock to Shanghai with huge sums of money, betting big in casinos, winning or losing a total of more than a thousand taels of gold, the scale of the betting is staggering, and even gambling in the casino involves cheating , is a veritable gold-absorbing hole.

However, it is not only their tycoon operators who make money, but also the blessing of the upper class of the French Concession to a large extent. If the authorities give them a little color, the business of the casino will definitely be affected, so Haoguan "respects" the French embassy every year. The Shanghai Consul General's personal money is as high as 28.

People from the chamber of commerce also came to join in. Francis and the people from the consulate collude with each other and ask for the contribution fee to be increased to 50 per year.

Bai Xiaohong just said, "It can't be done anyway." He ignored those French guys.

Francis learned that Bai Xiaohong did not know how to stabilize the high commissioner who banned smoking, and held a grudge. He immediately discussed with the people in the consulate and ordered to rectify the order in the concession. Haoguan was unable to operate normally in just one day, and was paralyzed the next day. .

If it continues to be suppressed like this, the rate of decline of Haoguan will be no less than its prosperity. Once Haoguan falls, these ants-like guys will not only lose money, but also lose the shares they invested in.Bai Xiaohong turned a deaf ear to this matter, and these shareholders could only come to Ji Xingtang.

Ji Xingtang looked at the burning gazes of these people, then looked up at the idle clouds in the distance, sighed and said, "Everyone in Ji knows about your difficulties. This is a major matter and I have to discuss it with my elder brother. Don't worry, just cooperate." For many years, even if something happens, just ask me, Ji, for how many debts you have, and I will pay off your debts even if I go bankrupt, and I won't let you friends suffer."

The shareholders looked at each other in dismay, and the leader said, "We are not trying to collect debts, it's just that something happened and Mr. Bai didn't come out to express his opinion. The group of dragons has no leader and there is nothing to do. This matter is not to blame Mr. Ji, so how can you take care of it alone. We just want to see Let's see if I can meet Master Bai so that I can negotiate with the French."

In the end, Ji Xingtang had to go back to find him. He was so tired, the debts of favors and lovers weighed him down, so he just nodded and said, "Understood."

Ji Xingtang walked on the road dully, it's good that the crown is broken, it's good that it's broken, he has long been unwilling to earn this black money, when will he be able to do some serious business and be a decent person.

Fumbling on this road, devoid of conscience calculations, the two of them also walked farther and farther, and the occasional happy moments were drowned by tears and quarrels. Will Huiji be hurt?

Ji Xingtang went to the Mu Mansion, Master Mu was worried about this matter, and sloppyly dealt with it, probably saying that we all compromised, let Mu Ke admit his mistake to Bai Master, and marry him a wife to calm down, Bai Xiaohong really The shares in the mine can be discussed, but Bai Ruoyu's fault lies in Bai Ruoyu's fault. People can call him Young Master Bai and call him a bitch. If it is destroyed, it will be safe.
