CHAPTER XV
Relationships between women have always been delicate, and they can quickly form friendships with a few words, or they can establish hostility as soon as they meet. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info I think I don't have much friendship with He Shujun, and I don't necessarily have a good conversation, but from the rare two times I get along, I see a sense of contradiction that is both repulsive and close.
The girl's face was faintly powdered, and under the black eyebrows, a pair of big eyes flashed smartly, like a god who saw through everything, and like an ignorant girl.
"What? Don't know each other? He Shujun asked.
"I really haven't known each other much." I turned to leave, unwilling to entangle her further, and it was clear that our meeting belonged to the latter.
"You don't know me, but I know you." Uncle He didn't let me get away, while holding my hand with his hand, he used his body to block the sight of Gu Shaoqing and Uncle He, and slowly spoke: "Is this the second lady of the Liu family?" Do I really think highly of you? ”
I thought to myself, is it interesting how advanced and profound I am at my age?
"What do you want? Let me leave Gu Shaoqing? Or stay away from your brother? ”
"What...... Is it? He Shujun obviously didn't expect me to ask such a question, and there was a clear pause in his speech.
"Isn't that what you're sneering about? Other than that, I can't think of any other reason why Miss He is so hostile to me. ”
"Since you're so happy, I'm not going to beat around the bush. Yes, I do want you to stay away from them. ”
"Uncle, this is a bit difficult to do...... Gu Shaoqing walked behind me at some point and said with a hippie smile.
"Brother Shaoqing, you ......"
"Uncle, your brother is waiting for you over there." Gu Shaoqing said, pointing to Uncle He who was standing not far away and beckoning to him.
Uncle He understood and immediately walked over to his sister: "Uncle, my father called us."
He Shujun saw that his brother and Gu Shaoqing were bullying her, stomped his feet, and left in a huff.
On the contrary, I was stunned, and I couldn't reflect how Gu Shaoqing quietly paced to my side from there.
"I'm afraid you'll say, 'Okay, I'll leave them right away.'" Gu Shaoqing said, touching his nose, looking uncomfortable.
"That's why you came to bully other girls?" I asked, feigning annoyance.
"How can I be so despicable as you say, isn't that my uncle's idea?"
"Brother He will let you bully your sister-in-law?" I don't believe it.
"Didn't I let him carry the black cauldron for the time being?"
"Oh, this black pot back ......"
"How?"
"I like it."
"Looks like we're really a couple."
At this time, the music on the gramophone was replaced by the most popular Shanghai dance music, and the number of people on the dance floor suddenly increased, and many guests who were eating at the buffet table put down their utensils and walked into the dance floor to dance to the music. Gu Shaoqing put down the wine glass he was holding, made a very gentlemanly invitation to me, and led me onto the dance floor.
Driven by the sound wave, people began to swing in the middle of the dance floor with the rhythm, and the round glass lamp above their heads shone brightly, although it was afternoon, it made people feel lazy in the middle of the night.
It turns out that the glass windows of this venue have long been covered with thick velvet, and from the inside, the sunlight outside does not affect the music field inside, so whether you are wearing silky soft satin or fashionable dress, you can find a dance music that suits you in this streamer.
I felt like a bird stepping on the clouds, led by Gu Shaoqing and kept circling, hovering and circling again. The arms of the person in front of him were calm and powerful, his face was handsome and extraordinary, and his good-looking eyebrows and eyes brought out a smile because of joy, which instantly weakened the dignified heroic spirit between his eyebrows.
"What do you think?" Gu Shaoqing asked.
"I'm thinking about the guy you said made a fool of our family."
"Be obedient, concentrate on this dance first, and I'll tell you about your troubles later."
"Oh......," I replied, weakly.
"Uncle Tong is right, it seems that my charm is not enough, so you can't concentrate." Gu Shaoqing said, smiled slyly, and held my waist and hands with both hands, easily taking me off the ground.
The sudden movement startled me and I hugged his shoulders tightly and threw myself into Gu Shaoqing's arms, and the guests in the audience couldn't help but stop to enjoy this sudden dance performance.
After a while, the tone of the music changed, and the field was lively again. The enthusiastic rumba music carries the eager beating of people, and the rich perfume smell mixed with the smell of cigars is transmitted to the human senses in a daze. In the midst of this murmuring sound, I saw a figure that was too familiar to be familiar - my second uncle Liu Rensong!
It felt like taking a good bath in a hot water tank, and suddenly a thunderbolt swept by, and it fell into the ice water cave, cool and cloudy, and cold all over the body.
"Senior brother......" I called out to Gu Shaoqing in panic, expecting that I couldn't see clearly enough.
Gu Shaoqing also saw the second uncle in a big robe, but he was obviously much calmer than me: "I wanted you to relax and relax, but I didn't expect him to come out first."
"You...... What did you say? Is that really my second uncle?"
Gu Shaoqing nodded, and said solemnly: "Ah Zhao, what you see next, you must be mentally prepared."
With that, he pulled me off the dance floor and into a nondescript room. The inside of the door turned a few more times, and I pushed the door to a completely different world.
It was a smoky dark room, the chaotic air choked people's eyes, and there was a loud noise in their ears, and when my eyes slowly adjusted to the dark atmosphere, I could see what kind of illusion everything was in front of me.
At this time, the second uncle took off his shoes and sat cross-legged on the leather sofa with his eyes closed. There was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy standing next to him, who was diligently loading his pipe, and when I got a little closer, I could smell that the smell of the smoke was something special, sweet, and seemed to have a strange and choking fragrance.
What is it?
I turned around suspiciously and saw Gu Shaoqing's deep frown. It's not a great thing to think about that can make him so serious, but what is it? There was a sudden movement in my mind, and the white and gray-brown paste was not exactly what the teacher said about opium paste? The thing that has plagued us for nearly a hundred years is now lying in my second uncle's pipe!
My lips trembled with excitement, I could never have imagined that I would see my second uncle in such a situation, the man who had always been timid and cowardly and indulged in his wife, running in the meeting hall of government officials and secretly smoking what the Liu family had expressly forbidden.
Gu Shaoqing held me tightly, for fear that if I was not careful, I would rush up and tear off the cigarette holder in his hand desperately.
"Calm down, there are other government dignitaries here!" Gu Shaoqing said, and dragged me to the mahjong table where the four of them were sitting on the other side.
