Chapter 124

Hua Ting followed Jian Yi to Nanjing. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

When the car stopped in front of the courtyard gate marked "Jane's" Mansion, Shi Yinai actually showed her around in the style of the hostess of the house.

There are two buildings in this Jian Mansion, the one at the Yingyuan Gate is a Western-style two-story building, and the one inside is a Western-style three-story building, with a blue brick and clear water exterior wall, and the roof is paved with distinctive fish scale tiles. There are also four bungalows in the courtyard, which are used by servants and orderlies to live. With a total of 22 rooms on 6 floors and a total construction area of more than 700 square meters, it is a luxury mansion with a very grand and eye-catching appearance.

Although these garden houses did not seem to have much novelty in the eyes of Hua Ting, the scale and grandeur of this Jane's Mansion still greatly exceeded her expectations.

But thinking of what Jian Yi said to her when she ate roast duck that day, I can't help but feel a little funny when I think about it, "Jian Yi, where did you get the confidence to say that I promise I will like it?" โ€

"Don't all girls like castle-like architecture?" I didn't think he still had a princely heart.

"Die!" Hua Ting slapped him in the face with an octopus claw, "Lao Tzu doesn't have a princess dream." โ€

Jian Yi smiled and took the palm and said, "I'll make you a princess." โ€

After rolling her eyes, to her surprise, Shi Yinai, the little girl, was quite familiar with the fact that she quickly walked around from the corridor end of the Jian Mansion to the end of the corridor, and then opened a door to enter, and naturally opened the cabinet door, and there were all ladies' evening dresses inside.

After carefully selecting in the wardrobe for a long time, Shi Yinai took off her pants today and put on a Western-style dress with a waist tie. The length of the skirt is in the middle of the calf, the texture is soft white silk, and the skirt is embroidered with a row of bright red roses underneath, and the overall effect is both delicate and beautiful.

When looking at the mirror, Shi Yinai was satisfied with her image, and her good body was also suitable for wearing skirts. The waist-cinching style sets off the light willow waist, and the mid-length skirt reveals two straight and slender calves, and the skin of the legs is as white as jade. The advantages that are not usually shown in pants are fully revealed in skirts.

After changing into a dress, Shi Yinai turned around with satisfaction and said to Hua Ting, who was leaning in front of the door frame, "I am usually busy, and I fly between Nanjing and Shanghai, so Jian Yi gave me the key to him." โ€

Hua Ting shrugged, "So what?" โ€

Shi Yinai also found that the deliberateness in her words just now was too obvious, so she stroked the hem of her skirt unnaturally, and smiled as casually as possible, "Don't you think your situation is very dangerous?" Miss Bai? โ€

"Dangerous?" Scold! Lao Tzu has seen a lot of this kind of routine, "I don't think my situation is in any danger, I believe you should be able to see this." โ€

"Really?" Shi Yinai smiled, "Can you tolerate having a confidante by your husband's side?" โ€

"Are you sure you're his confidante and not a colleague, or is it ...... Partner? โ€

Shi Yinai was stunned for a moment, and Jian Yi's urging voice sounded in the corridor outside the door, "Hurry up, you two, there's no time." โ€

At night, Nanjing, as the capital of a country, was still busy and lively. People walking around the streets may be wearing robes and horse coats; or wearing cheongsam dresses; There are also quite a few young students in tunics. The means of transportation on the road include rickshaws; Footbrake bicycles with manganese steel white tile covers; Cars with roaring motors; There is also the carriage of the horseshoe Dada. What a magnificent and prosperous scene!

But the latter scene is different.

In the 21st century, Hua Ting has watched a lot of TV movies set in the Republic of China. I know that the bustling cities of Nanjing, Shanghai and Beiping at that time seemed to be singing and dancing, but in fact they were not peaceful. But after she really came to this era, she found that it was not just not peaceful, it was simply very uneven.

There are often ostentatious foreigners on the streets, calling Chinese like dogs; At night, there are often gang fights, and suspicious bloodstains can always be seen on the road after dawn; The patrolmen always walked the streets rudely, wielding batons and beating people at every turnโ€”of course, the most vulnerable poor at the bottom, and sometimes it was not the same thing to kill people.

These phenomena often occur on the streets of Shanghai and Nanjing.

What Jian Yi is going to at this moment is said to be a large song and dance club on Changle Road comparable to Shanghai Paramount.

Due to the urgency of his task, he had to leave Nanjing and return to Shanghai early the next morning, so this kid gave up his car and took flowers to visit on the way to the song and dance club.

At that time, the most prosperous place in Nanjing City was the area around the Qinhuai River of Confucius Temple, and Huating had been visited several times in the 21st century. The antique Confucius Temple is very lively, and the dazzling flavor snacks are authentic and delicious. The Qinhuai River is more beautiful the more night it gets, and the boats are painted day and night. It is really "the sound of oars and lights for ten miles, and the singer and the boat play turbid waves".

Along the way, there is a scene of old Nanjing full of fireworks in the world, which can be appreciated.

In the 21st century, she especially likes to walk in the shadows of these old streets and alleys at dusk. bluestone floors; mottled whitewashed walls; goose-yellow sunset; Occasionally, the sound of silk and bamboo from the south of the Yangtze River wafting from nowhere lingers into the ears; Time is quiet and beautiful at this moment, and it has become a rare and valuable graceful mood in this troubled world.

Don't look at her usual big grin, she is also soft and quiet when she calms down.

But she felt that although the city of Nanjing was beautiful, it was not as deep as her affection for Shanghai.

In the past, she didn't understand the old Shanghai complex between her grandfather and grandmother, but now it is her turn, and she finally suffers from a strong "old Shanghai complex" or an authentic "old Shanghai accent".

What to say about this strong old Shanghai complex? If you're in the 21st century, you can pick a sunny noon and go to the old building near the Bund to see the mailbox in the foyer. The old-fashioned red building looks like an old general from the outside, and he has put on a military uniform on the anniversary. Inside, the sunlight follows obliquely, illuminating the floor and columns, which are carved with baroque tweeds and covered with old dust. Then you can see the entire wall of the porch, all the way up to the staircase, filled with homemade mailboxes of different colors, different styles, different room numbers and names.

There are as many of them as windowpanes filled with moisture on a winter night.

Retro and wonderful.

In modern Shanghai, there is a class of nostalgic young people in Shanghai, who know that it is not right to be nostalgic for the concession era, so they don't say the word, they call the old Shanghai of that era "the 30s".

The demolition of every old house in Shanghai, the removal of every sycamore tree on Huaihai Road, the opening of every branch of American fast food in Shanghai, they are the most staunch opponents.

Sometimes they are not understood by other Shanghainese, but Hua Ting knows that what they see is that the bits and pieces left by their past life are the most delicate and indelible; In this way, they become nostalgic people by imagining old things. And the city's dilapidated and exquisite architecture is a reason for their nostalgia.

"What's going on?" Jane also shook her five fingers in front of her eyes.

"Nothing." Don't forget to take a spiced egg from this kid's hand.

"Later, Sister Hua, you just need to sit and have a drink or something to eat."

"Don't worry, I don't bother to interfere with you."

In fact, this large song and dance hall on Changle Road is almost the same as Paramount in addition to the old and old-fashioned appearance.

I guess this is what the dance halls of this era look like.

Hua Ting picked a seat and sat down at random, and Jian Yi took Shi Yinai to say hello to a middle-aged man with a beer-belly on the sofa on the other side, the two didn't know if they were playing a couple or something, Shi Yinai naturally took Jian Yi's arm.

As soon as Hua Ting gritted his teeth, he was a glass of spirits.

They are more like a husband and wife spies, she sneered in her heart.

The curtain on the stage parted, the music played, and the dancers slowly walked out of the corner of the stage, everything similar to Paramount.

The woman on the stage is not as enchanting as Paramount, but she is also full of charm. The difference is in the eyes, some are in a trance, some are dazed, and even some are overwhelmed. Her eyelashes hung silently, fanning little by little, as if slowly filtering out some heavy mood.

The stage lights gradually dimmed, as if to deliberately create a sad atmosphere; The dancers were still singing affectionately, and the guests were laughing and drinking, but the sound of a gunshot, familiar to her, caused the audience to panic in a second.

The music stopped abruptly, but the lights in the hall did not react, Hua Ting only heard the sound of rushing footsteps, and soon saw five or six big men with long knives appearing in front of him. They were all dressed in black and pants, masked with black cloth, and only the long knives in their hands reflected the cold white light under the lamppost.

As soon as several knife hands appeared, without saying a word, they raised their long knives and pounced towards Jian Yi together. Jian also stood in front of Shi Yinai, flipped his wrist, waved out a thin iron chain tied to his arm, and instantly wrapped a long knife that originally belonged to the opponent, and dragged it for his own use. With a knife in his hand, his eyes were full of lightning, and he was as fast as lightning to scuffle with several knife hands.

Although he fought several people on his own, Jian Yi's movements were much faster than them, and his skills were much more flexible. All the blades that slashed at him were dodged by him slippery as loaches, and the blades he swung swept with a lightning-like lightning, too fast to dodge. (To be continued.) )
