Chapter 3: The Truth

"Are you serious?" Jin Li raised her eyebrows, and said very happily, "Then you must come to my house as a guest, our family has recently bought an Edison Parra brand gramophone, which plays the songs of Li Yujun and Mei Ruolan, we can have a dance party when you come, invite all my friends, and welcome you well." ”

She said Li Yujun and Mei Ruolan, Wanchun is no stranger, that is the famous golden-voiced sisters of Shanghai Grand Paradise, Lu Jianhao was bent on entering the Ministry of Finance of the Shanghai Municipal Hall, in order to tie up with Song Jiuming, the then secretary general of the Ministry of Finance, and took her to the Grand Paradise to accompany Song Jiuming and his wife to dance, and it was Li Yujun and Mei Ruolan who were standing and singing on the stage at that time.

Now, when I heard their names again from Jin Li's mouth, I felt a sense of parting years.

The two of them chatted a few more words, and the car stopped outside the park at the foot of Xiangshan.

Huai'an put out the fire, turned his head and said to them with a smile: "The two young ladies don't come often, probably don't know that there is a racetrack recently opened in this Xiangshan Park, and those rich young masters love to gallop at the foot of the mountain, for fear that the car will startle the horse and spoil the interest, so there is an unwritten rule, no matter whose car is, as long as it reaches the outside of the park, it must stop, and you can only walk into the park to enter the park." ”

"What's so hard about this, let's just get out of the car."

Jin Liyuan didn't know why he didn't drive in, but when he heard this, he was very understanding, holding Wanchun's hand and laughing: "They are also thoughtful, they can't always be convenient for a while, and they will spoil the fun for half a day." Jiujing is the ancient capital of hundreds of years, and the decent people are far more generous than other places. ”

Wanchun saw that Jin Li had no objections, and she was casual herself, so Huai An got out of the driver's seat and opened the car door for the two of them, and Caizhu also came out.

As Huai'an said, the park was full of cars parked everywhere. Jin Li got out of the car and caught a glimpse of Caizhu Da Follow, frowned inadvertently, pulled Wanchun's arm, but said, "It's hot, let's go to the pavilion and sit." ”

Wan Chun was about to say why she came but was lazy, Yu Guang glanced at her expression, but there was some unhappiness, thinking that she didn't want Caizhu Huai'an and her family to follow. In fact, for so many days in the Li family, for fear of the recurrence of Wanchun's old disease, he has been cared for up and down like an iron bucket, and Wanchun is also wanting to have a leisure time and do her own things.

Since Jin Li had this idea, she got off the donkey down the slope and said to Caizhu Huai'an: "Aunt Caizhu, Uncle Huai'an, we have reached our destination, you don't need to follow, go home first." Miss Biao and I only sat in the Flower Viewing Pavilion in Xiangshan for a while, and after two or three hours, you came to pick us up again. ”

Caizhu disagreed when she heard this, so she said: "Fourth Miss, it's not that I want to disturb you and Miss Biao, it's really your delicate body, if we are not careful, we have a business trip, and my wife can't explain when she comes back." ”

"What can I do?"

Jin Li Kexi Wanchun understood what she meant, and hurriedly followed the foil and said, "Aunt Caizhu, aren't you worried that I'm here?" When I came, I heard that Sister Wan had been recuperating at home for more than half a year because of an old illness, and I was afraid that she would be bored, so I went to Beijing to play with her for a few days. You're staring like this, we just don't want to play. ”

Speaking of which, Jin Li's tone was already a little dissatisfied.

Although her home in Shanghai is also like Wanchun, there are many servants in the family, but because her father He Changyuan is an official who is released, he does not live with those people in the clan, so he is much lazy in the family rules. Jin Li went to St. Mary's Girls' High School, a famous American church school in Shanghai, and her mother Li Lanzao was Li Lanfeng's third sister, and she made a lot of friends during her study in the United States.

Caizhu also understood that this young lady from the head of the Shanghai Ministry of Internal Affairs was extremely cool, and she didn't dare to confront her openly, so she had to take a compromise and said to Wanchun: "Then, let's wait outside the garden, Miss and Miss Biao whenever they have something, just call an errand runner to come out and tell us, and we will do it immediately." ”

When Jin Li heard this, her joy overflowed again, and she smiled again: "I love to hear this, I see that there are also a lot of scenery outside, you husband and wife are busy with your aunt inside and outside every day, and you must have no time to come out to play. As long as you don't go far, if there is anything, we will call you again. ”

Caizhu said yes again and again, and smiled embarrassedly: "We are old people, not younger than the young ladies, and we have seen a lot, we see flowers are flowers, and when we see grass, we can't say anything good." Let's just go and rest outside, ladies and ladies. ”

Jin Li was lucky not to follow her, but she only said a few kind words, who didn't care if she really enjoyed the scenery or not. After listening to Caizhu, he said goodbye, and pulled Wanchun into it with great interest.

Huai'an didn't dare to follow up, so he had to shout a few words in the back: "Turn left is the shortcut to Xiangshan, go straight is the racecourse, and you will see Yijiang to the right, two young ladies, you can have fun." ”

"Hey."

Jin Li and Wan Chun heard it in front of them, and hurriedly agreed, but they didn't look back, only Jin Li raised her arms and waved twice.

When they entered the garden, the porter who guarded the gate saw them, and hurried out to greet them, and asked where they were going.

Wanchun asked Jin Li what she meant, Jin Li saw that the sun was still very big, and said that walking the horse was too sunny, so she said, "Let's go to the flower pavilion." ”

The porter smiled and stretched out his hand, handed over two pieces of paper one finger long and three fingers wide, and said, "This is a ticket to the Flower Viewing Pavilion, a total of four cents, and the two young ladies take it." ”

Wanchun didn't know that she still had to collect money here, thinking that there was no such thing when she was scolded by Lu Jianhao last time, thinking that the porter was bullying them as raw guests and deliberately blackmailing, so she said: "When did you set the rules, didn't you want money before?" ”

When the porter heard this, he laughed: "My young lady, are you not here for some days?" We've been setting this rule here for half a year. ”

Jin Li wondered: "Why is it uncertain for a long time, but now it is decided?" ”

The porter looked at no one left and right, and then lowered his voice and said, "Haven't you heard of it, young ladies, we have a life lawsuit here." It is said that there is an official who drove his wife and children to Xiangshan to play, and planned to circle around from Yijiang and then go around to the flower viewing pavilion, not wanting the car to slip on the road, and even people and cars rushed into Yijiang. The official's life was so great that he smashed the car window and escaped, but unfortunately his wife and children did not have the strength to climb out and were drowned alive. When the police department learned about this, they sent someone to salvage the body, and when the official saw that the adults and children who had been fished up were all angry, he fainted from crying on the spot, and tears fell from people's eyes. Later, for fear of following in the footsteps, the police department decided to send a patrol in the garden, but the cost exceeded the advance, so they had no choice but to find some additional money from us to make up for it. ”

Jin Li was greatly surprised when she heard this, and didn't want to have such a reason in it, so she asked him again: "So, forget it?" Where is the official, and how old are his wives and children? ”

The porter said: "I don't know where it is, I hear the accent like it's from the south, and his wife is very young, but she is in her twenties." The most pitiful is their daughter, who is only one year old. When she died, she was hugged tightly by her mother, and she couldn't break it, so the two of them had to go into the coffin together. ”

Baby...... Coffin ......

Wan Chun was shocked when she heard this, her hands and feet became weak inexplicably, and she collapsed on Jin Li's body at once.

The bluffed Jin Li screamed, and hurriedly hugged her and said, "Sister Wan, isn't she scared?" ”

Wan Chun was cold and terrified, she never knew that hearing the news of her and her baby's death from others was such a terrible thing.

She didn't hear Jin Li's question, and the porter was afraid that she would make trouble by talking too much, so she hurriedly stretched out her hand to help.

Jin Li shook Wanchun's body twice, Wanchun woke up, waved her hand and said, "It's okay, it's my own cowardice." He barely stood up with Jin Li's arm.

Jin Li saw that the porter still had the two tickets in his hand, so he quickly took out a dollar from his handbag and gave it to him: "Don't listen to you, this money is for you, and you don't have to look for the rest." I'll help Sister Wan to sit down in the pavilion, and you can get us two cups of tea to suppress the shock. ”

The porter took Qian Mali's promise, handed the ticket to Jin Li, and watched her two sisters slowly walk towards the pavilion, so she went to the tea house next door and ordered two Biluo spring teas and sent them to the flower viewing pavilion.

Fortunately, the Flower Viewing Pavilion was not far from the gate, and Wan Chun and Jin Li walked dozens of steps to the white jade steps of the pavilion. Because it was noon, everyone was afraid of the heat, and there were few people entering the garden, and there was nothing to play in the flower viewing pavilion, so it was empty.

Jin Li let go of her hand, reminded her to be careful, took out her handkerchief and wiped it on the vermilion lacquer railing in the pavilion, before she came down and helped Wanchun to sit on it and said, "Sister, let's sit here." ”

As soon as the words fell, the concierge brought tea up, put it in the hands of Jin Li and Wanchun, sat slowly, and hurriedly walked away without daring to bother.

Wan Chun held the tea, and the residual heat in the palm of his hand slightly dispelled the chill of Fang Cai.

Jin Li saw that her complexion had changed slightly, and she breathed a sigh of relief and said: "You scared me to death, it's just someone else's business, it's just a matter of hearing about it, sister, don't take it to heart." ”

Wanchun slowly clenched the cup, how could this be someone else's business? The scenes before his death seem to have happened yesterday, and I remember them vividly. It's just that I didn't expect that Lu Jianhao is not only a villain who opportunistic camping, but also a good actor who sings and acts, and after killing his wife and children, he also directed and acted in a play 'Crying Yijiang', he is really good.

If she could see her again at this moment, she thought that she would rush forward without hesitation, eating his bones and meat!

"Sister, sister......"

Maybe she didn't see Wanchun respond, Jin Li was afraid that she would be uncomfortable again, so she screamed twice.

Wan Chun took a sip of tea, knowing that revenge was not easy, and she needed to think about it in the long run, so she put her thoughts aside for the time being, raised her head and asked her, "What's wrong?" ”
