Chapter 9 Clubs
Ye Chunhao quickly wrote the letter.
It was a long time before she realized what this writing that afternoon meant. At this moment, she finished writing a letter without adding points, only to feel that her pen work was good and she wrote easily. Lei Duli took the letter and read it, nodded again and again, and said to her: "I can't let you work in vain, I have to thank you." β
If he honestly and unceremoniously ordered Ye Chunhao to do something, Ye Chunhao would not feel anything; as soon as he was amiable and polite, Ye Chunhao would be uneasy. Standing up with the magazine, she smiled and excused herself: "That's not necessary, it doesn't take much to write a letter." It's just that the third aunt's wife is still waiting for me to go to class, and if the handsome has nothing else, I'll leave first. β
After saying this, she took a step back, but the heel of her shoe slammed into the leg of the chair, causing her to stumble backwards, and the perfume bottle in her pocket was not securely filled, but now she shook her whole body like this, and the person did not shake it, but the perfume bottle shook out of her pocket and fell to the ground.
The room is covered with large tiles, smooth and hard, the glass bottle is shattered when it hits the ground, it is broken, but it is filled with perfume, and the fragrance of roses explodes in an instant, so rich that people want to suffocate, but fortunately, Lei Duli doesn't care, and he is not smoked out of his temper by this strong fragrance.
Under the pretext of giving lessons to the third aunt's wife, Ye Chun left the study as if he had escaped. When she saw the sun and the wind blew, her feverish cheeks cooled down, and she hated herself for being so cowardly and clumsy.
However, it was not really a fool's errand, she thought, "I don't plan to be his little wife anyway." β
The day passed listlessly, and the next morning, an adjutant came to her and said that the marshal had invited her to the study. She came to the study as she had said, and in the big room where she had sat yesterday, she saw Inspector Lei again.
When she entered the door, Lei Duli was talking to someone in the room, as soon as she came, the person said goodbye and left, Lei Duli's eyes flashed with interest, and said to her, "Miss Ye is okay tonight?"
Ye Chunhao couldn't figure it out, so he could only tell the truth: "I have to teach the third aunt to read English in the afternoon, if the third aunt doesn't let me go out with her after class, then I should be fine at night." β
"That's not a big deal. Inspector Lei waved his hand disdainfully: "Wait for my adjutant to pick you up at night, and I'll take you out to play." β
Then he waved his hand: "Go!"
Ye Chunhao's brain turned, and he immediately smiled: "Then I'll go tell the third aunt and let her prepare in advance." β
"Don't take her. Inspector Lei said, "You're the only one." Go for it!"
Ye Chunhao looked back at the door and found that the door was ajar, and there were two officers standing outside the door, obviously waiting to come in and talk. Staying to break the casserole and ask in the end, it is obviously a little unacquainted, but if he leaves in such a daze, will he really go out alone at night?
His mind was still hesitating, but his two feet walked out on their own. Ye Chunhao decided to take a gamble, she couldn't escape from the palm of Lei Duli's hand, if Lei Duli really fell in love with her, he didn't have to play any tricks at all, just rob it.
The governor of the Republic of China is equivalent to the governor of the previous dynasty. She understands the power of Governor Lei no longer understands politics, but she understands it very well.
Thinking about it like this, she was relieved.
The third aunt's wife-Ye Chunhao didn't know if she was secretly instructed by Lei Duli-she didn't go out to play as usual, and went back to the house to obey the chatterbox after class. She was alone, closed the door and sat in front of the mirror to take a look, then got up and went out to ask for a basin of hot water, and carefully washed her face.
Sitting back in front of the mirror, she applied a thin layer of alabaster and put lipstick on her lips. Combing her hair with a small tooth comb, she turned out a bamboo-blue cheongsam, this cheongsam is seven or eight percent new, or made at home last year, the corners and cuffs of the robe are embroidered with silver threads for small butterflies, and the manual fee alone costs thirty yuan. Later, she knew that her family was finished, and she might not be able to easily buy clothes in the future, so she carefully put away this cheongsam, and she was always reluctant to wear it.
I put on the cheongsam and combed my hair again. She felt that she would not be ashamed wherever she went, so she sat down and looked out the window.
It was a little dark, and the adjutant who picked her up came.
She followed the adjutant out of the courtyard, and when she saw that the adjutant was going to lead her directly to the gate, she asked, "Where is the marshal?"
The adjutant was polite: "Miss Ye, the handsome man has already arrived at the club first, because I am afraid that you will go early, there is nothing to play, and I am tired of staying, so I will come to pick you up later." β
Ye Chunhao asked again: "Club...... What kind of place is it?"
The adjutant replied, "Miss Ye, please rest assured, the club is a place for games and pastimes co-organized by Dashuai and a few friends, and it is by no means a place of chaos. β
Ye Chun saw that this adjutant was a talker, and he couldn't ask anything, so he simply got into the car calmly outside the gate. The car started and galloped all the way, Ye Chunhao looked out of the car window intently, and secretly remembered the route in his heart.
Within a moment, the car stopped in an alley. Ye Chunhao got out of the car, and met the vermilion lacquer gate of a house in front of him, one door was closed, and the other was also half-open and half-hidden, and there were big electric lights hanging on the left and right of the door, illuminating the front of the door openly. Someone in the door poked their heads out to take a look, and without interrogation, they directly retracted and opened the other half of the door, and said in a low voice: "Miss Ye, please come in." β
Ye Chunhao looked back, and saw that the car he was riding in had started slowly and drove away, and he couldn't retreat, so he could only cross the threshold and walk into this deep house. The man inside the door stood with his hands down, and when he saw her coming in, he bowed: "Miss Ye, please come with me." β
The faΓ§ade of the house is already very magnificent, and the interior is full of flowers and trees, pavilions and terraces, and there are colorful electric lights hanging everywhere, which is a brilliant world. Ye Chunhao walked through the two courtyards, and finally followed the leader into an Italian-style three-story building.
Just now she was in the courtyard, and she had already seen a number of modern men and women and rich and noble lords, and now when she entered this building, she was full of gold and brilliance everywhere, and she was about to lose her direction.
She panicked, but luckily an acquaintance came down the red-carpeted stairs in front of her. This person was dressed in a military uniform, and he was Bai Xuefeng, the adjutant of Lei Governor. Bai Xuefeng saw Ye Chunhao, and hurriedly walked a few steps in front of her: "Miss Ye, the handsome man is talking to someone, and he can't withdraw for the time being, let me take Miss Ye to the dance hall to sit - can Miss Ye dance?"
Ye Chun shook his head with a smile: "I won't." β
Bai Xuefeng invited her upstairs and said, "That's okay, I'll find someone to teach you, dancing is very easy, and you can learn it as soon as you learn it." The club's dance hall is very good, Miss Ye has learned, and it is not bad to come and play often. β
Ye Chun smiled and touched the words "often come".
The two went up to the second floor, and Ye Chunhao followed Bai Xuefeng into a hall. The hall is surrounded by purple-red gold velvet drapery, rows of large glass chandeliers hang from the ceiling, and the shiny floor reflects the light, and the sky and the earth reflect each other. Tables and chairs are placed in the corners of the hall for people to rest, but there are few people resting, and there are many people standing in the hall talking and laughing. Ye Chunhao walked through the crowd, and saw that the women were all bare-chested and bare-backed, jewelry, she was wearing cheongsam, stockings and black leather shoes walking in it, obviously becoming an outlier, and she didn't have to look around, she could feel that there were many sharp eyes shooting directly at her.
Bai Xuefeng led her to a teahouse and sat down, and found a modern young woman known as "Young Grandma Chen" to be her dance teacher. When Grandma Chen saw her, she seemed to be a little confused: "This is ......"
Bai Xuefeng replied solemnly: "This is the tutor of our handsome family, Ye Chunhao Miss Ye. β
When Grandma Chen heard this, she immediately laughed. Ye Chunhao doesn't care if she is really smiling or smiling, anyway, she is willing to teach, and she is willing to learn-when she arrives at this place of fun, wouldn't it be disappointing to be disappointed if she pretends to be a fake Taoist gentleman with a straight face?
At this time, the White Russian band began to waltz.
Ye Chunhao followed Grandma Chen in and out, at first a few steps were still clumsy, but after a few steps, he understood the trick, and his movements became smooth. After dancing a song, Chen Shao's grandmother found a handsome teenager to be her new dance partner, she looked to the side, and saw that there were men and women dancing in pairs, if she was too restrained, she would show timidity, and the young man was in a suit and leather shoes, and he was not a dirty person, so he learned from the generosity of others, and the young man also danced.
At the end of the song, she gasped slightly, the young man took her hand, very lingering, she quietly withdrew her hand, and did not feel that she was lovedβthe young man was a little squirming, and she looked down on her.
Vaguely perfunctory, she wanted to get rid of the young man, turned around and glanced at the tea room in the corners on all sides, she wanted to find the seat she had just sat in, but in a flash, her eyes looked through the gap between the two red velvet curtains, as if she saw Lei Duli's eyes.
It's like seeing it.
The gap was just a line, and she was stunned, not so much to see as to feel. And just then, a gust of wind blew the curtain open, and in the moment when the red velvet floated high, she realized that there was another space behind the curtain.
A voice sounded in her ears, it was Bai Xuefeng who walked behind her at some point: "Miss Ye, Dashuai, please come over." β
She looked back blankly and asked, "Where are you going?"
Bai Xuefeng bowed slightly with a smile, and at the same time stretched out a hand to the fluttering red curtain: "Please." β
Ye Chun walked over step by step as if he was exploring. Bai Xuefeng accompanied her and lifted the curtain for her in time.
Behind the curtain, there was a place similar to a private room, with a coffee table around the sofa on three sides, and the sofa was full of people, and the person who occupied the chief alone was none other than Lei Duli.
Inspector Lei was wearing a gray tweed military uniform, the military uniform jacket was not properly worn, only draped over the shoulders, revealing the white shirt inside, and the hem of the shirt was tied into the military trousers by a wide cowhide belt. With his arms folded around his chest, he leaned back into the couch, his two riding booted feet resting on the coffee table in front of him.
Ye Chunhao saw him at home on weekdays, and always felt that he was not worthy of his name, not like a warlord, but like a good gentleman. Now that he suddenly saw his rough sitting posture, he couldn't help but be stunned, and Lei Duli beckoned to her, and pointed behind him: "Sit here." β
Ye Chunhao walked over and sat down on a soft chair diagonally behind him. Lei Duli leaned back on the back of the sofa, turned his face and whispered to her, "I see you dancing outside alone, it's not interesting, it's better to sit here with me." After I finish these few words, I will accompany you. β
Ye Chunhao hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no, no, no, it's okay for me, your business matters." β
Ignoring her, Inspector Lei raised his head and continued to speak. Ye Chunhao listened for a while, probably heard a little eyebrows, and then looked at the few characters present, only to see that two of them were born tall and big, one looked like a martial artist, and the remaining three, one was old and longzhong, and actually had a white braid, one was chubby and plump, and he looked like a rich man, and the last one was a Japanese.
When the conversation was over, the men left together. Lei Duli glanced back at Ye Chunhao, and this time put his legs down.
Without waiting for him to speak, Ye Chunhao opened his mouth first: "Since the marshal has military affairs to be busy, why do you have to take me to play in a hurry? I'm really embarrassed that the marshal treats me as a guest like this." β
Inspector Lei lay back again, pillowed the back of the sofa, and asked without looking back: "Military affairs are too busy." Have you had dinner?"
"Eat. β
"I saw you a long time ago, and I was going to let you play freely, but I saw that you were alone, and I didn't have a companion to play, so I called you over. Speaking of this, he turned his head to look at Ye Chunhao: "I have long seen that you are smart, you are really good, you can learn to dance as soon as you learn it." β
Ye Chunhao was looked at by him so burningly, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed, and the modern beauties outside the curtain were all entwined with beads and gorgeous clothes, which made her bare.
Lei Duli said again: "I'll ask you to dance a dance in a while, will you give me this face?"
Ye Chunhao lowered his eyes and nodded.
