Chapter 100.100:
Xue Feng's jewelry box has all the jewels and diamonds, Qi Shufang's collection in recent years is nothing compared to one, among which most of them are beautiful diamonds, accounting for almost two-thirds of the total.
Xue Feng loves beauty very much, and bluntly said that he likes sparkling diamonds the most, followed by gemstones.
"Why didn't my sister say it earlier? I have a collection of diamond rings at home, all of which are popular fire oil diamonds in the old Shanghai period, and there is a big blue diamond. I knew my sister liked it, so I brought it to my sister. Qi Shufang regretted the gift she chose a little, she originally wanted to show her respect for Xue Feng, so she chose the best thing in her mind.
This pair of bracelets is flawless, gorgeous and bright, second only to her favorite imperial green bracelet, but she didn't expect that her favorite jade Xue Feng didn't particularly like it, Qi Shufang couldn't help but be annoyed.
"It's okay, I like Emerald too. "How can you dislike my sister's intentions?
Xue Feng pointed to the jewelry box and asked her to pick what she liked, "Pick whatever you want, I'll give it to you." ”
Qi Shufang was indeed very envious of Xue Feng's collection, but she also had a lot in her hand, so she shook her head, and finally couldn't resist Xue Feng, who would be angry if she didn't choose, so she chose a double-layered jade bead necklace from the jewelry box. The beads of this necklace are the same size and round, and they are made of the same material, which is a single item in the jewelry box, but it can be matched with the imperial green bracelet she bought from Chen Ning's friend.
Imperial green can be met but not sought, she likes the pair of bracelets the most, and then looked very carefully, and finally matched the bracelet with a ring and a pair of earrings of the same kind of water and the same color, that is, the neck is empty, and now it can be matched.
took Xue Feng's priceless jade necklace and gave her the blue diamond another day.
Qi Shufang doesn't like to suffer, but she also doesn't like to take advantage.
"Hey, you like Jadeite?"
"Well, compared to other jewelry, I like the variety of colors of jadeite. Qi Shufang immediately followed in her heart, she likes jadeite the most, amber beeswax and coral agate are second, and the rest of the diamonds and jades are at the bottom, although nephrite has a longer history and more cultural significance, but the color is not as smart as jadeite, and it is not as bright as other jewelry.
"Jadeite is fragile, not as hard as diamonds, I didn't expect you to like it, but unfortunately I don't have much jadeite in my collection. But I know a jadeite merchant, his home has been stolen, and now he doesn't dare to take his head, and he has time to take you to visit, and the jadeite in his hand is very cheap. ”
Xue Feng sat on the bed and flipped through the jewelry box, and finally turned out a brocade box in the corner that was bigger than two palms.
opened it and looked at it, Xue Feng handed it to Qi Shufang.
"Now, if you didn't give me a jade bracelet, I can't even remember, I still like diamonds, haha! This is the jade merchant who thanked me for saving his life and gave it to me, and the eunuch of the palace stole Fu Jin's jewelry and sold it to his father, and he gave it to me. I've given it to you, don't shirk it, give me the blue diamond you said in exchange. ”
It is two jadeite carved hairpins, as well as a pair of jade earrings and a pair of jade rings, a pair of jade bracelets, and a string of jade pearls.
It's not imperial green, it's not emerald, it's positive green.
There are many kinds of yang green according to the shade, the color of the jade bracelet is a little brighter and slightly more stable, and the color of this set of jewelry is a little more tender.
Qi Shufang was shocked, this is the whole set of jewelry made of the same material.
Xue Feng saw that she liked it, and said proudly: "The jade merchant said that the polishing skills of the old things in the past were slightly worse than those in the later ones, and before wearing this jewelry, you need to find the master to carefully polish and polish it inside and out, which is more beautiful." ”
"Hmm. Qi Shufang accepted it unceremoniously.
The two sisters chatted around jewelry, and the more they chatted, the more they became more engaged, and they talked about many things, and unconsciously, they talked about the groom Mu Qingyun.
"I had a relationship two years ago, and at that time I thought he was very old, and his sister was at least a dozen years younger than him, right? How could they be together? At such an age, have you ever been married?" Xue Feng is an unmarried young woman, looking at all kinds of amorous feelings, in fact, the relationship between men and women is not very regular, if Mu Qingyun is married for the second time, Xue Feng will lose a lot.
Xue Feng raised his eyebrows: "Have you seen Qingyun?" Oh, I remember, in the summer of more than two years ago, Mu Qingyun did go to Gupeng City once, it was strange, he went overnight, he left overnight, and he didn't have time to see me, I asked him, and he was vague. ”
"I can't say the specific reason, my sister will ask the person concerned another day. "She didn't even sue He Jianguo, how could she sue Xue Feng?
"I'm sure I'll ask him. ”
"So, how old are you? It's Xue Xun's uncle. ”
Xue Feng sneered: "He just looks old, twenty years old like thirty years old, thirty years old like forty years old, in fact, he is only ten years older than me, forty years old this year." Of course he was never married, and if he did, I wouldn't have taken a fancy to him!"
"Forty years old, I thought he was over forty years old more than two years ago!" Qi Shufang blurted out.
"Haha! You're not the only one who says that!" Xue Fengle was overwhelmed, and fell crooked on the bed, seeing Qijin's brows moving, as if he was about to wake up, he hurriedly reached out and patted him, allowing him to continue sleeping.
Qi Shufang asked: "Why are you only getting married now?" Forty years old, when I reach this age, my family will be twenty years old. ”
Xue Feng thought about it and said casually: "I don't have time." Ten years ago, I was young, how could I be bound by my family in a good time? I didn't want to get married, and he was busy every day, stationed in the southwest, and he didn't have time to come back, and it was only in the past few years that the situation eased. Four years ago, he returned to the capital, but I went to Gupeng City, so naturally I couldn't get married. ”
Early the next morning, Qi Shufang saw Mu Qingyun who came to find Xue Feng.
Compared with two or three years ago, there has been no change at all, he is still Xun Xun elegant, graceful, slender and slender, not out of shape at all, many people stand up after being in a high position, but he doesn't.
Seeing Qi Shufang, Mu Qingyun's eyes flashed.
"Brother-in-law. Qi Shufang pretended not to see the inquiry in his eyes, smiled and said hello, and then teased Qijin who was sitting in Xue Feng's arms, and said, "Qijin, come, give a kiss to my aunt." ”
The big eyes of the seven catties blinked, glowing with the sparkle of Qing Lingling, raised the little fat hand, kissed it in the palm of the hand, and flew over.
"Seven catties are so smart!" Father Xue laughed, and Xue Feng also praised him, "Seven catties, is it okay to kiss your aunt?"
Qijin hugged Xue Feng's neck, chirped, and skillfully imprinted a wet kiss on Xue Feng's face, and then approached Xue Feng sideways, until Xue Feng kissed him the cheek a few times, and then he was satisfied to lean his face on Xue Feng's shoulder.
Mu Qingyun's forehead was full of green tendons.
Jealous, hehe, Qi Shufang smiled secretly and quietly gave her son a thumbs up.
"Comrade Xue Feng, the Lenin costume worn at the wedding has been ready, please go with me to try it on, if the size does not fit, let the tailor modify it in advance, so as not to wear the clothes that do not fit the day after tomorrow. Mu Qingyun immediately spoke, determined to throw away the fat boy in her arms, far away.
"It's not a weekend, you don't go to work?" Xue Feng said in surprise.
Mu Qingyun smiled elegantly, "I took a leave of absence, marriage leave, a total of half a month." ”
"Oh. "Yes, he is in the military region, different from the government agencies, there are family visits and marriage leave, and Xue Feng was transferred to a leisure yamen, three days of fishing and two days of drying nets, so he sighed, turned around and said to Shufang: "Shufang, you finally came to the capital, Qingyun has a car, let's go out for a walk together." ”
When the light bulb found that Mu Qingyun's face was a little dark, Qi Shufang smiled and declined: "I've been on the train for so long, I haven't eased up, and it's windy outside, so I won't take Qijin and my sister out, and I'll go another day." ”
Mu Qingyun's face immediately turned cloudy.
Xue Feng was a little disappointed, "Okay, you have a good rest at home, I'll bring you something delicious, what do you want to eat?"
"Peking duck!" Qi Shufang burst out.
"Okay, I'll bring you a roast duck back at noon, and you and Dad will wait for us to come back and have dinner together." "The roast duck of Quanjude is a must in the capital, and it is a trip for nothing to come to the capital without tasting the taste of roast duck.
Father Xue is Mu Lao's guard, Xue Feng knew Mu Qingyun at a very young age, at that time Xue Feng was still a little girl in the countryside, black and thin, I didn't know a word, generally speaking, a child like her should be very inferior, very intimidating, dare not speak in public, but she is different, before being adopted by Xue's father, she knew how to observe words and feelings, diligent and clever, everyone liked her, taught her to read and write, after being adopted by Xue's father, in the face of children whose families were more powerful and domineering than her, she was not afraid.
Probably her character made everyone accept her, in a few years, the longer she looks, the better she looks, and her popularity is getting better and better, even Father Xue doesn't know how Mu Qingyun will wait for Xue Feng to wait for more than ten years.
Qi Shufang stayed in the Xue family and asked Xue's father about her sister's past and the Mu family's opinion on the marriage.
She was very curious about this matter, and asked Xue Feng yesterday, but unfortunately Xue Feng's mouth was like a closed mussel shell, and she couldn't pry it open, so she was embarrassed to ask further. However, she had a feeling that their story must be a romantic legend.
Father Xue told her a lot, what it was like to see Xue Feng for the first time, how she adopted her later, and how she watched her mingle with the surroundings, but with Mu Qingyun, Father Xue didn't know very well, "Mu Lao has no opinion, and he is happy to see this marriage come to fruition, with your eldest sister's ability, only she bullies people, and no one can bully her." Your eldest sister has a lot of eyes, and now she is in charge, and she is in charge of my retirement salary, and the bloody rain in the capital has never affected our father. ”
Father Xue is a big boss, his daughter has the ability, so he directly handed over the house to her, anyway, after his daughter took care of the house, the living standard of the family has risen sharply, and he is very comfortable eating and drinking, or talking and laughing with a few old chiefs.
Although the status of the two elders of Mu Xue is high, the two families are really close.
In terms of the power of the Mu family, the wedding of Xue Feng and Mu Qingyun can be described in two words, simple.
I don't know if it's because the more powerful the person is, the more low-key he is, anyway, compared to He Shengnan's wedding, Mu Qingyun and Xue Feng's wedding is really simple.
Newcomers: Mu Qingyun and Xue Feng, one wears a military uniform, the other wears a Lenin suit, straight and straight, the former is neither new nor old, the latter is a new clothes, and it is woolen wool, the two of them wear a leader's badge and a big red flower on their chests, and the watch given by Qi Shufang is worn on their wrists, shining.
Officiant: Mu Lao, wearing an old military uniform, shining epaulettes, and not carrying a meritorious medal.
The family members present are also witnesses: the Mu family was present Mrs. Mu, Mu Qingyun's brother Mu Qingshan, sister-in-law Li Yang, niece Mu Xuexun, and the Xue family was Father Xue and Qi Shufang's mother and son, except for Mu Lao's entourage, everyone was dressed very normally, and Mrs. Mu still had two patches on her clothes.
Counting seven catties and newcomers, a total of ten people, just a table, no matter how small the seven catties are, it is not a person!
Before the wedding began, there was a little interlude.
When Mu Xuexun saw Qi Shufang beside Xue's father at first glance, she couldn't help but rub her eyes, when she learned that Qi Shufang was attending the wedding as Xue Feng's family, she screamed in surprise, and quickly rushed to Qi Shufang and circled around her twice, chattering endlessly: "Sister Shufang, it's really you! I can't believe it, we will meet here! How could it be? Why didn't I hear you say that my aunt was your sister? Is this seven catties? It's so big, I haven't seen it once!"
The question was like a series of cannons, and without waiting for Qi Shufang to answer, she introduced it to her family and said solemnly: "This is my good friend Qi Shufang, I really didn't expect it to be my aunt's sister, her son is so cute!"
The Mu family knew what happened to Mu Xuexun, although it was inconvenient to say it, and they didn't even mention it, but they were very kind to Qi Shufang.
In fact, Mu Lao and Mrs. Mu Lao had long known that Xue Feng had found his sister, and after Zheng Lao came back, he praised him several times and showed them photos, but they thought it was the same name and surname, and they didn't think of Mu Xuexun's life-saving benefactor. As for the Mu Qingshan brothers and Mu Xuexun's mother and daughter, the former is busy with work, the latter lives in Shanghai and has never seen photos at all, and the latter doesn't know about it.
Father Xue asked how they got acquainted, and the Mu family replied in unison that Qi Shufang had helped Mu Qingyun find their grandson Xu Shaowen, and Mu Xuexun later wrote a letter of thanks, and they became familiar with it after coming and going.
Xue Feng glanced at Mu Qingyun with a smile.
Mu Qingyun coughed, and was seriously sure of what his parents said, as if he had been agreed by his family the day before yesterday, and the person who was honest with Xue Feng was not him.
Xue Feng retracted his gaze and looked at Mu Xuexun who was chattering.
"Sister Shufang, I get my salary now, I invite you to eat Quanjude's roast duck......! Oh no, go to Dongfeng Market for shabu and kebabs!
No matter what, with Mu Xue looking for the middle, the atmosphere of the wedding is very harmonious.
took the oath to receive the marriage certificate, the marriage certificate was received early in the morning, Mu Qingyun's identity is destined to need to go through layers of review, and now it is issued by Mu Lao to the two of them.
After the end, the nine adults and one elementary waited around the table to be served.
The wedding was held at the Xue family, that's right, it was the Xue family's small courtyard, which was no different from usual, the wedding banquet meals were made by the Mu family and the Xue family's nannies and guards, the wine and candy were brought by the Mu family, and the ingredients were also. After the wedding, Xue Feng still lived here, because Mu Qingyun worked in the army, and it was too far away from where Xue Feng worked, and if he lived in Mu's house, it would be even more inconvenient to enter and exit.
The Mu family and the Xue family don't pay attention to what new house is not a new house at all, and they don't pay attention to whose house they should live in and whose house they should not live in, anyway, no matter where they live, the bride and groom are two people.
This is the most incredible wedding Qi Shufang has ever encountered.
After being full of wine and food, except for Mu Qingyun and Xue Feng, the two newcomers, what should the others do, Xue's father also took Mu Lao's car to the courtyard to chat with the old chiefs, only Mu Xuexun had a lot to say to Qi Shufang, ran to Qi Shufang and stood still, teasing Qijin to play and refused to leave.
Qi Shufang glanced at Mu Qingyun and Xue Feng, and said with a smile: "Xue Xun, let's go to my room, I see that Qijin is sleepy." ”
Mu Xuexun chuckled: "Sister Shufang, you are really understanding!"
Mu Qingyun was sitting in the living room, the old god was drinking tea on the ground, Xue Feng's face didn't even blush, and suddenly said when they were stepping: "Shufang, wait a minute, I have something to tell you." ”
Qi Shufang stopped and asked what was the matter.
"Didn't you tell me about the traffickers on the train the night you first came?"
"Yes, what's wrong?" Qi Shufang felt very strange, when she talked to Xue Feng, Xue Feng told her an unexpected news, Wang Cheng and Zhang Hongjube were the adoptive father and adoptive mother of her third sister. When Xue Feng found them, he was very angry when he learned of his sister's death, because his sister had no food, so she went to the river to wash her clothes and drowned.
The adopted son was abducted and trafficked when he was four or five years old, and he has a little sporadic memory, when he first came to Wang Cheng and Zhang Hongjuo, he cried every day to find his father, and he was beaten by Wang Cheng and Zhang Hongjuo, unforgettable, and he always hated Wang Cheng and Zhang Hongjuo.
Xue Feng gave him a chance, and he accepted it without saying a word, although he hadn't found his family yet, he had a new identity and a new life.
The Mu family has experience in abduction, and when Mu Qingyun heard Xue Feng say this, he immediately sensed that something was wrong.
When Qi Shufang and Qi Zhenghui contacted, Qi Zhaozhao had been missing for just four days, minus the time of sending the telegram and the time from Qingdao to Gupeng City, there was not much time left, and it was only one day.
Wang Cheng and Zhang Hongjube went to Qingdao City because the seller had children to sell, of course, nominally saying that there were relatives who could not raise their children, and wanted to ask them to adopt, they set off after confirming the news, from the time they had the news to their arrival in Qingdao City, one day was definitely not enough. Mu Qingyun called the Gupeng City Police Station to confirm that the day Qi Zhaozhao disappeared was also the time when Wang Cheng and Zhang Hongjube arrived in Qingdao City, so Qi Zhaozhao was definitely not the child that the seller said he wanted to sell to them.
Neither is the big win.
His name is not Da Sheng, his nickname is Da Sheng, and his big name is Miao Jiasheng.
Dasheng disappeared later than Qi Zhaozhao, it was lost in the evening, Dasheng's parents mentioned it when they came to pick up Dasheng, and they finally lost their baby when they went to the city.
Coincidentally, both babies were lost near the train station.
According to the confessions of Wang Cheng and Zhang Hongzao, they didn't catch the seller, they acted so quickly, the Qingdao police station dispatched so many people, and the above attached great importance to it, if Wang Cheng and Zhang Hongzao confessed the facts, even if they couldn't catch the seller, they should find a little clue, right? But no, the seller disappeared as if he disappeared out of thin air.
"Doesn't anyone suspect that Wang Cheng and Zhang Hongjube are human traffickers? The child I encouraged to leave told me that when he was young, there were occasional children in the house, and then the children would soon disappear, and when he became sensible, this did not happen. I was a little skeptical, but I couldn't find any evidence, so I let it go. Xue Fengdao, "As far as I know, the punishment for traffickers and buyers is different, traffickers are extremely heavy, and buyers are slightly lighter. What's more, these two people vigorously said that they were for the adoption of children. ”
Qi Shufang frowned: "I only care about the two children, and when they find their families, I don't pay attention to the follow-up development of the case." ”
Thinking about it carefully, Mu Qingyun and Xue Feng's analysis makes a lot of sense!
Qi Shufang was extremely annoyed, she forgot to ask the two children who took them away, I don't know if the parents of the two children asked after they took the children home, if they did, they should be able to detect something, right?
It's really the authorities, the fans, the bystanders, the clear.
The Mu family hated human traffickers very much, especially Mu Xuexun, although the injury had been healed, the scars were still there, and they immediately said: "This matter must be investigated! If they are really human traffickers, they will definitely be able to find other abducted and trafficked children!"
Mu Qingyun said in a deep voice: "Leave it to me." ”
He asked Qi Shufang for Qi Zhenghui's contact information, and Qi Shufang hurriedly asked Xue Feng for a pen and paper, and wrote down Qi Zhenghui's home address and a phone number that could be contacted through Guò's unit.
Mu Qingyun took it in his hand and left in a hurry.
Qi Shufang was stunned for a long time, and couldn't help but say, "Today is the wedding day!"
"It's okay, it's more important. "For Mu Qingyun's coming and going like the wind, Xue Feng has long been accustomed to it.
Except for Xiao Qijin, they all wanted to know the result, but the waiting time was very difficult, Xue Feng held the Qijin and played around for a while, "What are you doing with sad faces? Although those two people were not sentenced as human traffickers, they were in a labor camp, and it was not easy to re-interrogate?"
It's the same, Qi Shufang and Mu Xuexun's expressions were relaxed, their hearts were relieved, and the atmosphere became brisk.
"Second aunt, the last time you went to Shanghai to go back to the capital with me, why didn't you mention that Sister Shufang was your sister? Mu Xuexun complained.
Xue Feng smiled lightly: "I'll give you a surprise!"
"It's a surprise, seven catties is the biggest surprise, Sister Shufang doesn't bring seven catties to me, but there are joys and surprises!"
Mu Xuexun hugged seven catties, but the little guy yawned, rubbed his eyes with his little fist, kicked his legs and refused to let her hug, and when he arrived in Qi Shufang's arms, his eyes were closed, and he fell asleep on Qi Shufang's shoulder.
Qi Shufang carried him back to the bedroom and put him on the bed, and Xue Feng and Mu Xuexun followed.
As the three of them spoke, they lowered their voices together.
"Sister Shufang......"
Xue Feng interrupted her: "You call me aunt, call her sister?" ”
"No, I'm used to it, so I'll call it Sister Shufang. Auntie, we have to talk about each other, I knew Sister Shufang before you knew each other. "Mu Xue doesn't care.
Xue Feng shook her head and smiled, but she didn't take it to heart, she didn't care about these red tapes in the first place.
The three of them were talking happily, and suddenly someone came to Xue Feng.
Mu Xuexun stretched out her head to take a look, she hadn't been in the capital for several years, she didn't recognize her, looking at the dress, which chief's guard was it, but Qi Shufang recognized it as Zheng Lao's side, and Xue Feng was of course very familiar with it, "Xiao Zhang, what's the matter?"
The person who came scratched his head, "Comrade Xue, there is a dance party in the dance hall tonight, and Elder Zheng asked me to ask when you are going." ”
Although there was a lot of turmoil outside, and the weekend balls held by the various units were cancelled because the balls belonged to the bourgeois way of life, the weekend balls of the chiefs were held as usual, and the leaders were frequented.
"Xiao Zhang, you go back and tell Zheng Lao, today I married Comrade Mu Qingyun, and my sister came from afar, I have to entertain her, I may have to miss the ball! Next week, wait for next weekend, I will definitely accompany Zheng Lao to dance together, three in a row. "It is very important to participate in the leaders' ball, but it is not more important than his own family, Xue Feng has a scale in his heart.
Xiao Zhang was stunned for a moment, "Comrade Xue, are you getting married today?" ”
"I didn't have a treat, I had a meal with my family, of course you don't know. Xue Feng said with a smile.
Xiao Zhang snorted, came again not long after leaving, and said to Xue Feng: "Elder Zheng said, I haven't seen Comrade Shufang and Comrade Qijin for a long time, and I really want to see him." Coincidentally, several chiefs were in front of me, so they asked who it was, and then asked what was going on, and I said, and the old chiefs said that you got married today and should attend a ball to celebrate, and called Comrade Mu Qingyun and Comrade Shufang together. ”
Then he added: "There are also seven catties, the old lady is also at the ball, you can take care of it." ”
Qi Shufang was stunned for a moment, she also went? No, right? She didn't have any psychological preparation.
Xue Feng's heart moved, and he nodded in agreement.
Waiting for Xiao Zhang to leave, Qi Shufang immediately took her sister's hand, "Sister, I haven't learned to dance, and I'm just an outsider, how can I be embarrassed to go to that kind of big occasion?
Xue Feng said sternly: "Don't miss the opportunity and don't come again, a fool will refuse! Since the leaders have spoken, you can't help but go." Dancing and seven catties are trivial things, I didn't hear Xiaozhang say that Mrs. Zheng took care of her, and Mrs. Zheng never danced when she participated in the ball. The prom is held at night, you can't dance, I'll teach you now, I take the male step, you take the female step. ”
After speaking, she asked Mu Xue if she wanted to go.
Although Mu Xuexun has not appeared in the capital for a long time, she is clear about the situation at the ball, "Go, I'll accompany Sister Shufang." ”
Qi Shufang is extremely smart, has a strong memory, and her limbs are very flexible because of her martial arts practice, she opened the obstacles in the living room and used it as a temporary dance hall, and soon learned ballroom dancing.
Mu Xuexun clapped his hands and applauded.
After explaining the matter, I waited for the news to walk in the door and see it, and asked what was going on.
Hearing that he was going to the ball, Mu Qingyun was a little helpless, Xue Feng stopped dancing and wiped his sweat, "It's okay if you don't go." ”
"Go, why don't you go! Our two fathers should go too. "Today is a newlywed, Mu Qingyun booked his wife's dance partner from the beginning to the end in his heart, except for him, there is no one else, even if Zheng Lao speaks, he will not let him, isn't this Qi Shufang and Mu Xuexun? Both of them can be dance partners.
In the night, the group of people who had taken a shower and changed their clothes were able to enter the ballroom after many checks.
There, is the political center of the country.
Qi Shufang never thought that she would enter this red wall one day.
As soon as they entered, they heard a lot of laughter, and the old people who appeared here were all stomping their feet, and the whole country was trembling, and many of them had never seen each other in their lives.
Zheng Lao's eyes were sharp, and he beckoned: "Hurry up and let me hug Qijin, it's been almost a year, do you still recognize me for Qijin?"
Old Mrs. Zheng came over and took the seven catties, "It's a rare opportunity to come here, you two sisters have a good time." ”
Seven catties of this child has a little benefit, that is, he is not afraid of life, the more people in front of him, the more energetic he plays, it is simply crazy, to Mrs. Zheng's arms, kiss this, rub that, make Zheng Lao and Mrs. Zheng smile, especially Mrs. Zheng, get several kisses from seven catties.
Qi Shufang was relieved when she saw that there were people beside Old Madam Zheng who followed her inch by inch.
Zheng Lao saw Mu Qingyun standing beside Xue Feng and refused to leave, "Ha, Qingyun, I forgot about you, you don't squeak when you get married, I told your father just now." You and Xiao Xue dance, I'll find Shufang to dance. ”
Zheng Lao did this because he was worried that Qi Shufang would not be comfortable dancing with strangers when she first arrived, so she volunteered to be her dance partner.
In fact, Qi Shufang was not nervous at all, she either hadn't seen a big scene, or she felt that it was too sudden, and no one here cared about her status. Although she is not dressed well, she looks beautiful and dances beautifully, no worse than Xue Feng, who dances with Mu Qingyun, and after a dance, another chief invites her to dance.
Qi Shufang is really a little nervous now, this Zhang Lao has a higher status than Mu Lao and Zheng Lao.
"Girl, don't be nervous, dancing, just to rest, if you're nervous, how can you dance?" Zhang Lao said with a smile, amiable.
Qi Shufang quickly let go of her hands and feet.
Many of the leaders are old, and they stop to rest after dancing two dances.
Xue Feng took Qi Shufang to meet the old chiefs one by one, as well as the ladies and secretaries who appeared in the dance hall.
As for those temporary dance partners, Xue Feng didn't make any introductions.
Just the people who were introduced required Qi Shufang to spend a lot of energy remembering.
She was very cautious, not taking one more step, not saying a word, she only answered when others asked, if a group of people gathered together to talk, she smiled and listened, and did not interject casually, but as long as someone turned the topic to her, she could naturally continue, and she saw no less than anyone present, so she left a deep impression on everyone.
The dance party ended at midnight, and Qi Shufang came home only to realize that her underwear was wet.
Mu Xuexun smiled: "It's good to get used to it, the first time I danced with Zhang Lao, I was so nervous that I had nowhere to put my hands and feet." Hurry up and rest, don't think about it, you will stay in the capital for a few days, and you won't have to go next weekend, it's a pity, you dance so beautifully. ”
Mu Xuexun really regards Shufang as her best friend, and she really wants to be a guide to take Qi Shufang to play, and take her to eat Quanjude roast duck, Donglaishun mutton, and Moscow milk tea, but after she came back, her family arranged an accounting job for her, and she needed to go to work the next day, so she had to leave reluctantly the next morning, and agreed to wait until she got off work to eat.
Mu Qingyun stuck to Xue Feng and never left.
Qi Shufang was secretly funny, middle-aged, more romantic than young people, don't think that she didn't see Mu Qingyun through the window in the morning when she went out to fold a plum blossom and gave it to Xue Feng.
Xue Feng pushed his head, "Shufang and I will go to see Elder Zheng, and you will drive us." ”
"Good. ”
Zheng Lao's residence is also a courtyard house, the specifications are much higher than Xue's father, the security is tight, after strict review to be able to enter, seeing Qi Shufang and Qijin, Zheng Lao and Mrs. Zheng are very happy, and they left a meal at noon before letting them go back.
In the afternoon, Xue Feng pulled around to play, and Mu Qingyun followed relentlessly.
Qi Shufang followed Xue Feng to the department store, entered the thrift market, secretly went to the black market, and secretly visited Duan Liangcai, the jade merchant she said. Now he can't buy and sell, Duan Liangcai can't afford to do business, so he just secretly takes off the jade in his hand and exchanges it for money, the price is about the same as the black market price, and it is cheaper.
Even so, it is difficult to find a buyer because jadeite is really useless.
was raided, and he hasn't done business for more than 20 years, the jade jewelry in his hand is no better than Qi Shufang's hand, even if there are a few, they are all single products, but there are a few pieces of rough stones that are not big and small are very good, the leather shell is wiped off more than half, and the watery inside is all jade and jade meat, and Qi Shufang bought it all, and it only cost a total of 200 yuan.
Mu Xuexun still invited her to eat roast duck, mutton and milk tea, and she had to make an appointment every night.
Quanjude roast duck costs eight yuan a piece, and the east comes to the ...... Ah no, now I have to say that the mutton shabu in Dongfeng Market costs two yuan a plate, and the grilled mutton skewers are two cents a skewer, which is full of weight, and Qi Shufang ate it when she came out.
When the cold wind blew, Qi Shufang was excited, and she was secretly glad that she and Mu Xue came out to eat without seven catties.
The wind in the capital was very cold and strong, blowing on the face like a knife, cutting the tender face and making it painful, Qi Shufang quickly pulled the scarf, surrounded most of the face, and then looked at Mu Xuexun, who was also fully armed.
Mu Xuexun wanted to go to Xue's house with her for one night, and the next day she went to work, and the two walked along the road as food.
When she walked to the Houhai area, Qi Shufang suddenly remembered the things in the mezzanine of the jewelry box, recalled the address on the house deed, she pulled Mu Xuexun to pass in front of the door, it was a very large courtyard, I thought it would be inhabited by many households, but it turned out that the two stone lions at the door were still there, but the guard was very strict.
"Who lives here?" Qi Shufang asked Mu Xuexun quietly.
Mu Xue didn't even look at it, and replied: "Old Liu! After the retirement of the older generation, some of them live in the compound, like my grandfather, and some live outside, all of which are allocated by the state. ”
Far away from the door, Qi Shufang asked her who the original owner of the yard was.
"I don't know. Mu Xue pondered for a moment and shook her head, "Since I can remember, this courtyard is a public house owned by the state, allocated to the older generation of revolutionaries, several groups of people have lived in it and moved away, it was almost smashed a few years ago, I don't know why it is gone." Why do you ask this?"
"It's nothing, I just think this yard is very magnificent. ”
"That's for sure, I didn't hear that this used to be the residence of the Qing Dynasty officials, and it was beautiful inside, there are all kinds of pavilions, rockeries and flowing water, but unfortunately Liu Lao is not in the capital, otherwise we can go in and have fun." Because of Li Yang, Mu Xuexun didn't like Liu Lao's wife, and when she was at home, Mu Xuexun never went to play.
Qi Shufang nodded, indicating that she understood.
As soon as he walked to the door of Xue's house, he heard the cry of Qijin, and quickly pushed the door in, Mu Qingyun was pacing in the living room with Qijin in his arms, Xue's father teased him with several toys, including a tank made of bullet shells, and when he saw Qi Shufang, Weng and his son-in-law immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"Little sister, come and hug seven catties, and go out for a while when you meet, he won't be happy. Mu Qingyun said.
Qi Shufang received it in her arms, and the crying of Qijin stopped.
Mu Xuexun laughed and pulled up, "Seven catties are so fun, I won't cry when I get into my mother's arms, is it because my uncle is ugly?"
"Who do you say is ugly?" Xue Feng came in with fruit and glared at her angrily.
"Uncle, listen, I'll just say a word, and my aunt will be unhappy!" Mu Xuexun stuck out her tongue, grimaced, jumped up and took the bag of fruit, "I'll wash the fruit." ”
During this time, news came from the city of Gupen.
After re-interrogation, it was determined that Wang Cheng and Zhang Hongjube were human traffickers, and there was no such thing as a seller, and their punishment was naturally increased, and at the same time, they opened their mouths to find the children who had been abducted and trafficked by them. They basically can't remember where the children were abducted more than ten years ago, the time interval is too long, but most of them remember who they sold to, and the police station immediately sent people to find them, and as for the whereabouts of the children who don't remember, even the police can't do anything.
When the case appears in the newspaper again, what is the use of making the people who read the newspaper sigh? As long as there is a sale, there will be people who will take risks.
Because this matter was brought up again, Qi Zhenghui and his wife knew that Qi Shufang had come to the capital, so they hurriedly came to visit, thanked them again and again, specially invited Qi Shufang to dinner, and prepared a gift for Qijin.
Last time, she was in a hurry to find a child, Yu Mulan didn't thank her or express anything, she was very ashamed, and she made up for it immediately this time.
Qi Shufang has many old friends in the capital, Liu Xiaomei is one, and Yunbai is one.
She saw Liu Xiaomei, but she didn't see Yunbai, it turned out that after receiving a year of training, she had been selected to be a conductor on the chief's special train, and now she was on a mission, not in the capital, so she could only go home with regret. Who knew that the day before she was about to leave, she received a message from Zheng Lao and Xiaozhang, saying that she was dancing very well and stayed for a few more days to participate in this weekend's dance.
