Chapter 108: Making a Coincidence
After returning home with cooked food, I saw that Mrs. Li's face was much more relaxed, and she could listen to her words.
Li Fengzhu put out the dishes and chopsticks and persuaded at the same time: "In the future, I will go to the vegetable market every two or three days, you will always cook according to your own appetite, I have a place to eat, don't worry about me." Don't blame me for keeping you locked up, although they are all French Concessions, Jinmen at this time is much more chaotic than Haizhou. I'm afraid that when you open the door, you'll make a loose mistake, and when I want to entrust you with something, I won't be able to find anyone. ”
"I don't have the heart to go out. Mrs. Li took the chopsticks and picked up a small handful of minced meat on the sauce meat plate, but opened her mouth wide to greet her. Sip between your lips and teeth, and you don't feel any taste. He put down his chopsticks, gasped for breath, and pointed his hand at the wall, "Open the window and let me blow the wind." ”
After saying this, Li Fengzhu also felt a chest tightness attack. She walked over to the window, lifted the corner of the curtain, and quickly pushed it open. The street from here is not a central street, but it is also a downtown area. In an emergency, it is convenient to call for help or escape.
There was an urgent request from Mrs. Li behind her: "Open the curtains, I'm really bored." ”
Li Fengzhu not only did not comply, but also folded the two curtains tightly, and said: "I often get a problem when I run outside, and when the sun shines, my cheeks on both sides are very hot." Don't look at it as the sunset, in fact, even this light, I am afraid. ”
Mrs. Li didn't say anything more, and buried herself in two mouthfuls of food.
After eating and closing, Li Fengzhu was ready to catch up with the day's draft. It is most appropriate to go to the newspaper office to write, firstly, it means that I have also worked today, and secondly, it is inevitable that there will be more people in the family. But she didn't have the courage to go back, she knew that she had made a big mistake, and she didn't know how to explain it to her colleagues. She could only sigh for a long time, pulled out her chair and sat down at her desk.
Because she revealed a little bit about the kidnappers, Mrs. Li was also very quiet at this time. After cleaning the house, he quietly sat down behind his daughter, put his hands together between his knees, silently hoping that she would finish writing soon, and that she would go out early to deliver the manuscript.
###
The next day, Li Fengzhu got up early and looked at the wardrobe in a daze. She is going to "meet" Tang Shubai today, and it seems that she needs to dress ceremoniously. However, she had to report back to the club for the purpose of choosing a topic half a day later, and she should dress up as usual.
pondering and analyzing back and forth, she walked to the mirror and looked at the wrinkles in the corners of her eyes, and said secretly in her heart, although it is a beauty trick, the focus is not on "beauty". It's that God allowed her to be ten years younger, and at that time she was just dignified and beautiful, and there was still a distance from Tianzi and the country, not to mention the age of the half-old now. Tang Shubai has seen too many beauties, dancing and writing, playing the piano and singing gently and lovely. He is willing to pay attention to himself, in addition to the novelty, there should be a desire to conquer. Therefore, the posture has to be as high as before, and from time to time it appears to remind him that there is such a woman he can't handle. In short, it is necessary to act contrary to the average courtesan.
Pick out an ordinary outfit and sweep a layer of light makeup, it is enough.
But he said that where there are antiques, Fang Qian's figure must be indispensable, and it is the same today.
The auction was held in a high-end hotel, and when it was about to start, Fang Qian finally met with all the guests who came and was able to get out and go to the room upstairs of the venue. At his age, his body's metabolic capacity is already very slow, so the wounds left by the last assassination have not yet healed completely. To be on the safe side, you have to change your medication every three hours. I had already changed it once when I went out, but I was worried that the duration of the auction would be difficult to pinch, so I had to go up in advance to change the medicine.
When Tang Shubai went upstairs for Fang Qian, he greeted several cultural relics for him. Seeing that the time was almost up, I greeted the elevator entrance.
From the elevator to the venue, it was rare that there were only two of them left on this part of the road.
So, Fang Qian opened his mouth and instructed: "What I told you yesterday is very important, you must ask in person." ”
Tang Shubai responded, and then said with a smile: "I heard that after the end of last night, Goto talked to you very late. That's what I think. ”
The corners of Fang Qian's eyes moved slightly, but he didn't look at him, and he only snorted noncommittally in his mouth.
Tang Shubai stretched his eyebrows with confidence, and then analyzed: "If it weren't for the consul to explain it personally, your old man wouldn't have made a special request to me on such an occasion." ”
Fang Qian acquiesced, and with Tang Shubai's support, he raised the arm holding the cane a little higher. Stretching out his index finger, he kept pointing at Tang Shubai, and said, "Goto means that the mood of the people is at the right point, which is not good for us. Gotta find a way to get things out of the way. Thoroughly!" Finally, he clenched his fists to indicate that victory was in sight.
Encouraged by the intelligence that the ammunition in the treasury was only enough to last for three months, everyone from the Japanese emperor to the generals and spy chiefs, including countless soldiers and traitors under them, were full of confidence in the path they had chosen.
It was at this moment that Li Fengzhu walked into the hotel lobby. In fact, she had already rushed to the door, but because she was not an invited guest, Ta Kung Pao was not among the invited media, and although she had a press card in hand, it was not easy to sneak in.
Worried that the time would soon pass and he didn't know if he would be stopped outside the last door of the venue, the sharp-eyed Li Fengzhu found Tang Shubai's figure. and Fang Qian, it seems that he has recovered from his injuries.
Fang Qian has the meaning of leaving. Tang Shubai tried his best to stop: "The auction hasn't started yet." Besides, if you had planned to go back, why did you bother to make the extra trip just now? ”
"I've just made up my mind, so it doesn't matter much here. Fang Qian paused and looked around.
Li Fengzhu immediately turned around and flashed behind a marble pillar in the lobby, pretending to be waiting for someone.
I saw Fang Qian beckoning and asked Tang Shubai to come over: "Only good things will never fall into the auction, I don't bother to consume this time when I think of this." ”
Tang Shubai couldn't help laughing and replied, "That's why you can't leave." You think, some people don't know how to look at things, but they are very clever and know how to act according to people's eyes. Your eyes have always been vicious, and when they see that you are in a hurry to leave without waiting for the hammer to fall, they must know that it is difficult to gain today. This person is gone, can the auction still go on?"
"You stay and greet me, isn't it? As he spoke, Fang Qian raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder.
"I'm afraid I'm not qualified. Tang Shubai refused, and his face showed a rare well-behaved appearance that only he had when he was a student.
Li Fengzhu saw that they were avoiding people talking, and he inevitably moved his thoughts and wanted to step forward to eavesdrop. Who knew that as soon as she took a step, Fang Qian was also taking a step out. This had to be done to turn around in place to avoid a head-on encounter.
It wasn't until Tang Shubai sent Fang Qian to sit in the car, he held the staff with both hands, and said: "By the way, I sent a few words to Goto yesterday - suspicious people don't need to be suspicious, and they don't blame the past and fight side by side." I think I should give it to you sooner or later, so let's send it to you today. ”
Through the revolving door of the hotel, Li Fengzhu saw Tang Shubai on the roof of the car with one hand, holding the door with the other, his body bent into the car, but his neck was stiffly tilted. Just as she was about to take another step forward, the car motor suddenly rattled. Tang Shubai still stood like that, and only then did he let go of the car door when the car began to slip forward.
This is inconvenient to move forward, Li Fengzhu thought about it, turned around and hurriedly dodged.
"Is Miesli also interested in antiques?"
When someone was questioning behind him, Li Fengzhu instinctively thought of Tang Shubai. And because of the sneaky behavior just now, it is inevitable that I will make a mistake in my heart, and I am afraid that my small actions will already be noticed. Yes, when I turned around, I deliberately put a little more smile out.
didn't think about it, but when he looked at it, that person was not Tang Shubai, but Sakamoto Lin Zhi.
Good fluency in Chinese! Li Fengzhu sighed secretly and nodded slightly. Holding up his press card, he shook it twice and replied, "I came to pick up news by the way." ”
As they asked and answered, Tang Shubai came slowly. Seeing this, he couldn't help laughing and said, "How did you two get together?"
Li Fengzhu curled the corners of his mouth, lowered his head and combed back the short hair that had fallen off his forehead. Secretly asserted in his heart that he and Fang Qian must have talked about some unpleasant topics.
Sakamoto Lin Zhi turned around and saw that Tang Shubai was still more than a dozen steps away from them, so he stretched out his hand and said far away: "This is no coincidence, no book is written." ”
The three of them walked outside the venue one after another.
The usher, who was wearing a black suit and white gloves, first nodded to Tang Shubai, who was the last to fall. I took the invitation card from Sakamoto Hayashi again, and handed it back immediately after inspecting it. In the end, he opened Li Fengzhu's press card and set his embarrassed eyes on the three words "Ta Kung Pao". Raising his eyes to look at Tang Shubai's face again, he saw that he didn't know, but he clearly wanted to wait for this lady to enter together.
Li Fengzhu easily sniffed out useful details in the performance of the usher. Secretly squinted the corner of his eyes, and as soon as the afterglow swept on Tang Shubai's face, he immediately took it back.
When I entered the market, I had already already bid for a round of lots. The front seats were already full, and only a few seats were left in the last two rows. Li Fengzhu took a step forward and sat down on the separate vacant seat in the last second row. So the remaining two men sat side by side in the two seats diagonally behind her.
At this time, the auctioneer is introducing and displaying a new lot: "This statue of Topaz Birthday Star is about 19 inches high. The implication is auspicious, the selection of materials is exquisite, the carving is exquisite, and its owner is either rich or expensive. The evaluation opinions given by experts are likely to be works of the Yongle period. Therefore, it is valuable, and there is more room for appreciation in the future. ”
"Looks pretty good. Sakamoto Lin Zhi seemed to be moved, tilted his head and leaned into Tang Shubai's ear, and wanted to ask him to help the staff officer.
