CHAPTER XX

Gu Changsheng didn't go home for five days after going out that day, and he still answered two phone calls in the interval, and the person replied to the third aunt the original words, and the third aunt was going home from watching a play, and the flowers and branches she was wearing were showing, and the pink fragrance hit her nose, and she only said a faint "oh" and went upstairs.

Occasionally, after dinner, Bai Qiushui stayed in the room alone, changed into light loungewear, and sat alone in front of the mirror, the wind blowing in outside made the curtains fly. She can't stand being quiet, and when she stays in this building, she just cooks and cleans for you as usual, and you have to ask them a sentence in return. She just sat there with her cheeks on her back.

At this time, she heard the phone ringing downstairs, someone downstairs had already answered, she hurriedly ran downstairs with a pair of slippers, and the person only asked one sentence, just when the third aunt came downstairs, she said: "The third aunt, your phone." ”

She didn't ask who it was, just took the receiver and said "hey", listened to the person on the phone said a few words, her eyebrows rose, and she said with a little surprise: "It's you, how do you know this phone?" So I heard her and the person on the phone say a few words, all "um", "good", "got it", after hanging up the phone, she went upstairs, the door was closed for twenty minutes, the user heard her ring the bell, went up to see what she had to say, saw the third aunt dressed too curly Tingting, but not usually swaggering, but the makeup is also very charming, listen to her said:" Prepare the car, I'm going out. ”

After ten minutes, the third aunt came downstairs, she was still checking her purse when she came down, and after waiting for a long time, she only called "the third aunt" slightly, she didn't think much about it while going downstairs and said, "Has the car arrived?"

But the employer didn't reply to her, and she realized that something was wrong, and she had already gone downstairs at the moment, and when she looked up, she saw the second wife coming out of the living room.

Bai Qiushui looked at her, the second wife was not dressed up in ordinary clothes, the cheongsam was tightly wrapped around her, staring at her all the way from afar, the second wife was holding a handkerchief in her hand, and only asked, "Where is the third aunt?"

Bai Qiushui always felt that the second wife's voice was very sharp and not mellow, and her voice when she spoke loudly was piercing, and the people in the whole building could hear it. Although she was not happy to listen to the second wife's speech, she still wanted the number of courtesies on the surface. She had to laugh and say, "The second wife is also going out, if we stop by, let's take a car together?"

The servant behind the second wife was holding a bag, and she also saw it, and the second wife walked up to her and said coldly: "Dashuai won't be back for a few days, just hung up the phone and asked me to sort out some clothes and bring them to him." The second wife's eyes were sharp, and she caught the change in the third aunt's expression, and raised her voice and said: "I'm going to the Xingyuan office, and the place where the third aunt is going is afraid that it won't go along with me, so just take the car together." After the second lady finished speaking, she was about to turn around, and remembered something, and said, "It's getting late, and I have to send the handsome clothes over quickly, otherwise he won't even have a change of clothes." I just want to tell you, I'll take the car outside, you can call another one. Then he went out with the servant.

As soon as the two headlights of the car started, I saw the car driving out.

The employee who had been standing next to him cowered and stepped forward, seeing that the third aunt was looking out with hatred, biting her lower lip tightly and pinching her leather bag with her fingernails. I also had the courage to whisper, "I'll call you another one......

Bai Qiushui was accumulating a lot of anger, stomped his feet and shouted at the employee, "Don't go yet!" Her voice echoed in the hall, unable to disperse for a long time.

In this way, when I arrived at the theater, it was late after all, and the play had already started. Bai Qiushui found Guan Yun's location and patted her shoulder from behind, Guan Yun turned his head in surprise and scolded: "You Nizi knows how to scare me!"

There were two dried fruit plates on the table, she held melon seeds in her left hand and pinched a melon seed to her mouth with her right hand, smeared a light red lipstick, the cheongsam was very fancy, and she was a charming woman.

Bai Qiushui has never been in contact with the good sisters in the troupe since she married someone and became her aunt's wife, especially Guan Yun, when they were apprentices, the two of them slept together in one room, and they were closer than others. Bai Qiushui sat down, leaned on the table with his left elbow, grabbed a handful of melon seeds and knocked them on the palm of his hand.

They chatted about the situation at first, but Guan Yun complained about her after hearing this, and leaned over and said, "What did you say?

Bai Qiushui had long forgotten what happened when Shi Cai went out, but this time he remembered it again, and a feeling of discomfort surged from his stomach. Sprinkled the melon seeds that were half-knocked in her hand, fell all over the melon seed shells, and poured herself a cup of tea, the tea was the most ordinary tea, and it was mixed with broken tea, she drank a sip, snorted twice, and only said: "Actually, it's nothing, which aunt's wife is not angry with the wife in charge?" I still have this point, anyway, we don't live together on weekdays, and she can still live perfunctory." As long as the handsome man is good to me. ”

Guan Yunyi rubbed his willow eyebrows together, and said: "Why are you so hard? When you were in the opera troupe, you were also a famous character, I wanted to persuade you not to marry in, how good is it to sing and sing? Moreover, these officials will be on the line of life and death at any time, if they don't return, how can you stay in that home? The wife of your family is not easy to provoke at first glance. ”

Bai Qiushui squinted at her, smacked her, and only said: "How can you be so cursing? Besides, I just don't want to sing with those big officials anymore, the big man is good to me, so I will follow him." I want to choose too, but which of us serious singers is willing to do it? I can only be an aunt's wife wherever I go. Anyway, I'm fine now. Tell me about you, are you still in the troupe?"

Guan Yun clapped his hands after eating the melon seeds, as if he said flatly: "I got married at the beginning of the year." He was a tailor. ”

Bai Qiushui almost screamed, grabbed her arm, and couldn't help but be surprised in her tone: "What did you say? You don't sing? How can a tailor support you?"

Guan Yun glanced at her, and only said: "My voice has long been bad, and the boss in the family drama team will not keep me anymore if I don't look for someone." My clothes are all made by Lao Li, he is good to me, the original match died and continued me, and now I have a rare life to help on the counter. It's quite comfortable. ”

After they chatted about this scene, they didn't listen to much of the drama on the stage, the play ended, and the guest officers who were doing it all stood up and left.

Bai Qiushui took Guan Yun and walked towards the door. It was dark when she came, and it was more like a black curtain, and if it weren't for the scattered lights on the street, I was afraid that I wouldn't even be able to see the road clearly.

As they walked out, the street was somehow windy, and the leaves were swirling on the ground. They were going to have supper together, there was a restaurant next to it, and there were many people with lights on in the store at that time, Bai Qiushui pulled Guan Yun and said, "We haven't eaten together for a long time, let's go, I'll invite you." Guan Yunben saw that it was getting late, and shouted to himself that he wanted to go home, but said: "I have to go home, otherwise I will be in a hurry later." ”

Bai Qiushui didn't let go and said to himself: "Take my car later, I'll send you back." ”

There are three or five tables of people gathered in the restaurant, and the smell of wine and hot dishes is coming. Bai Qiushui has never been to this kind of restaurant since he married into the Shuai Mansion, and he can't help but feel a little disgusted, but he can't find a decent restaurant nearby at such a late hour, so he endured it. And it's also trouble-free to be right with her driver.

The two of them were eating supper, ordering a table of dishes, and the dishes came up slowly, Guan Yun had saved everything since he became a tailor's wife, and he was not as generous as before. Seeing that the dishes on the table are about to be thrown away before they can be eaten, I can't help but feel a little distressed. Bai Qiushui called for a pot of wine and drank a cup, Guan Yun stopped her and said, "You drank too much and went home to be handsome and didn't scold you?"

Bai Qiushui let go of her hand and only said: "What am I afraid of, he hasn't been home for half a month, hey, today he asked the second wife to send him clothes, this is not obvious, he thought I would only spend money." At this time, she was drunk, and she was already drunk when she spoke.

She really drank the pot of wine, and when she saw that the wine was gone, she turned her head and called Xiao Er, Guan Yun immediately stopped her, waved her hand to Xiao Er, and she was drunk before she could eat anyone, Bai Qiushui said in her mouth: "He thinks I will only spend money, so I will spend all my time to show him - what about the wine, there is no wine......

Guan Yun didn't feel good, so he hurriedly hugged her and said, "Let's go back, where is your car?"

Bai Qiushui pointed to the black-painted car outside, and Guan Yun knew. Who knew that Bai Qiushui was only drunk and not really drunk, she saw that Guan Yun was going home, so she took the wallet in her wallet and paid for it.

As everyone knows, the two men who looked not too old to eat in the small restaurant saw the bells and whistles of the two women wearing late at night, and they looked like they had a breath of wind and dust, and thought that they were soliciting customers on the street next door. So the two of them stared at them, and when they saw them going out, they stepped forward with bad intentions, and a man stepped forward and patted Bai Qiushui's arm, and that hand was like a sifting of candy and couldn't get down, so he only said: "Miss, why are you drinking alone so late?" Do you want me to accompany you?"

Guan Yun was holding Bai Qiushui, and the strange man who came up suddenly startled her, and another man slipped to her in a daze and echoed: "Yes, it just so happens that the four of us can drink a few more taels of wine together." ”

"We're not soliciting, you're looking for the wrong person, go away," Guan Yun opened his hand, helped Bai Qiushui and went out, who thought that the man who was beaten hardened, stepped forward and grabbed her, and only said: "Hey, I give you face, you don't want to, you look at your dress is not soliciting or what? What is pretending to be high--if you don't want to drink today, you have to drink with me!!"

Bai Qiushui was dizzy, but she was not drunk, and seeing that the man was arrogant, she suddenly picked up her wallet and hit the man, crossed her waist and said, "Do you know who the old lady is?

The blow was heavy, and a long red mark was scraped on the man's face, and the man was indignant and scolded: "Okay, you stinky woman who doesn't know whether to live or die, dare to beat Lao Tzu!" But she hadn't recovered from what happened, and when she saw that the man was about to be slapped down, she opened her eyes wide, and she didn't have time to think about anything, knowing that she was going to leave a slap mark on her face. In the next moment, the man fell to the ground like a fly, and a rickshaw pulled forward, and the driver braked sharply, alarming the guests in the car, and the driver scolded the man who was kicked away.

Bai Qiushui looked at it stupidly, and she didn't know where it was from nowhere, and she saw that he was dressed in very ordinary clothes, but he looked the same age as her. The man on the ground got up, he wiped the blood on the corner of his mouth, cursed and picked up his fist and jumped up, and was knocked down by the young man with a punch, and the man who had been beside Bai Qiushui started a fire and rushed up, and said: "Which yellow-haired boy are you, dare to beat my brother!"

The young man reacted quickly, grabbed his wrist and twisted it, and the street suddenly resounded with screams that could not fall. The man knelt on the ground and shouted "help", and another person came out of it, who was acquainted with the young man, and stepped forward to say a few words, obviously not wanting him to cause trouble, the young man let go and said, "Let you bully women." ”

Hearing this sentence in Bai Qiushui's ears, it was like a warm current surging into her heart, she stood there, the young man thought he was scared stupid, and asked her: "Miss, are you okay?"

She immediately shook her head, wanting to come up and ask his name so that she could thank him later. The driver on the opposite side noticed the abnormality here, and ran over with the guard, only saying, "Third aunt." When Bai Qiushui saw them, his temper suddenly came up, and he scolded: "What are you all doing? I was bullied and you came here? Dashuai raised you rice buckets!"

The guards apologized again and again, and asked, "The third aunt is not injured, right?"

Bai Qiushui said angrily, "I was almost injured! It was they who were injuredβ€”" pointing to the hooligan who threw him on his knees. The guards went up and coerced them. Bai Qiushui said again: "Fortunately, someone came to save us-" After speaking, he looked around, and the young man and the people around him left at some point.

The two men suddenly realized that the identities of the women in front of them were different, and they heard them talk about "handsome" and "third aunt", so they knew that they were in trouble, and knelt on the ground begging for mercy, Bai Qiushui turned around, and the guard took out the gun on his waist, which was against a person's head, and said: "You have eaten the bear's heart and leopard gall, dare to touch our third aunt, let's say, how do you want to die." ”

The two men's whole bodies softened, and it turned out that the woman in front of them was Gu Dashuai's newly begged third aunt, and suddenly her soul was gone, and she heard them begging for mercy in a loud voice, "Third aunt, third aunt, we didn't know it was you, we also drank more wine, spared, spared our ......"

At this time, the pedestrians on the street couldn't help but look over, but they didn't dare to come over, and hurriedly walked away. Bai Qiushui only felt that it was annoying to be so noisy at night, and said to the guards: "It's cold to death in the middle of the night, you find a place where no one is there to solve them, this person touched my arm just now, it's really dirty!"

The guard said yes. The entrance to the alley was gloomy, and at this time every family had fallen asleep, and the coachman hurried back to the car to drive for the third aunt.
