[Chapter 22 61 The Thunder That Suppresses the Clouds and Destroys the Wind]

When the guys in the Evergreen leather shop took off the wooden planks outside the window one by one and stacked them in one place, the street was already bustling with activity. On the morning of early August, it was already cold. The leather store has been deserted for a summer, and finally looks forward to the cool days of autumn.

The men rubbed the glass window and looked out from the inside, and the ladies and gentlemen passing by the window occasionally stopped to look at these high-quality leather goods from Siberia.

The shopkeeper was crackling and calculating, and from time to time he looked up at the guys who were busy in the storeβ€”it was about to open, and everyone was too busy to gossip. On the month card hanging on the counter, a big red circle is drawn on today's day, which means that there is an important agenda today. The shopkeeper Xu has a good memory, and he doesn't need to check the records to know that the seventh young grandmother of the Tao family will come to pick up the goods in person after a while.

The clothes were made to order about a month ago, and then three additional pieces were added to the size. At this time, Grandma Qishao will send someone to check it every few days. The owner is a picky guest, and the seventh young grandmother is closely watched, and they are very attentive to this batch of goods.

The shopkeeper Xu instructed the guys to prepare everything early, and don't wait for someone from the Tao Mansion to rush around.

A fellow came in from outside, and in a panic knocked down the shelf that was resting by the door, and nearly scattered all the stacks of fox skins on top of it. The shopkeeper Xu hissed and glared at the triangular eyes from behind the glasses. The two men hurriedly stepped forward to help set up the shelf. The guy who caused the trouble came over with a red face, and was scolded by Xu's shopkeeper, saying that there were suddenly many patrol policemen on the street, who were asking questions from door to door. Shopkeeper Xu looked at him in surprise and said, "Why are you panicking when the patrol police come?" Could it be that he has been a thief? ”

The guy shook his head and said, "The patrol is not afraid, but why are there so many soldiers?" ”

Shopkeeper Xu frowned and said, "What does that have to do with our businessmen?" Get to work. ”

drove away the guy to do something, and the shopkeeper Xu took his purple clay pot and walked to the door of the store. Sure enough, there were a lot of military and police outside, although there was no shouting, but the intensified patrols and door-to-door inquiries made people feel a little nervous. Now the city is not at peace. In the past month, Commander Tao of the Northwest Army has heard that the suppression of white bandits has been quite effective, but there has been no stop fighting on the radio and in the newspapers. Some say that it is good to suppress bandits, and some say that the territory is being encroached upon, and they can still take care of exterminating their own people first, which is called a traitor to the 'country'...... The common people listened to their noisy and lively, and looked back and still remembered how not to delay the beef noodles in the pot of soup in the morning. The court faction has little to do with them, and food and clothing are what they care about. In contrast, the military and police patrols and inspections have been very intensive recently, and the inspections are always very long, not only losing time but also smiling faces, which really delays business.

The shopkeeper Xu sipped hot tea, looked up at the sky, took out his pocket watch and saw that it was already ten o'clock.

Look inside the store, the deep room is filled with the special smell of fur, and the sun is abundant. The guys were pretty much ready to open their doors, and the glass-wiping guy was trying to get a little dust on his head...... He looked upstairs at the window, which was airtight.

The boss was meeting friends at the top early in the morning, and he hasn't come down yet.

He took the time to take a look, and told the men to go up and deliver breakfast. When the guy came down, he said that the boss was arguing with his friend, and he couldn't understand what the two were saying...... He sipped his tea again, looked at the sky, and the sun went up a few inches.

The sound of cars sounded, and two cars in front of and behind drove in this direction. The carriage did not speed away, and the horse-drawn carriages and rickshaws in the street were easily overtaken by them.

He held the purple clay pot and looked into the distance. In addition to military trucks and motorcycles, only a few cars pass by on the city's busiest streets in a day. The shiny black sedan in front of him was recognized by him as the Tao family's car at a glance.

The guy had already run out to greet the guest, but he turned around and handed the purple clay pot to the junior apprentice behind him, and motioned for him to send it in and search for it. Watching the little gray mouse deftly enter the shop, he turned back to look at the black car that had stopped. The driver got out of the car and opened the door, and a handsome girl got out of the car, dressed very refreshingly, and got out of the car and smiled at him reservedly, but immediately turned his head to look behind - the white convertible was driving more slowly, and at this time it was also approaching, and a young woman wearing a sunhat in the car got out of the car and asked, "Uncle Zhang, how did I drive today?" ”

She was wearing a beautiful blue dress, with a half-cut veil down her sunhat of the same color, and her chin slightly raised, as if she was smiling. The old driver of the Tao family said with a smile: "The young grandmother's car is driving very well." It's okay to drive out by yourself in the future. ”

"There are a lot of people on the street, but I'm still not brave enough." Cheng Jingyi said, turning to look at the treasurer and the guys of the Evergreen.

The shopkeeper Xu was already waiting on the side, bowed his hand, and said, "Seventh young grandmother, you are here in person, please come in and sit down." The little one immediately asked someone to take something for Grandma Qishao to look at. ”

Jingyi smiled and nodded. Listening to the patrolman shouting in the distance for some reason, Uncle Zhang went over to deliver. Jing Yi looked and knew that the patrol officer thought that their car was in the way. Seeing that the patrol officer recognized the license plate and nodded, she handed the car key to Qiu Wei and said, "Let Uncle Zhang drive the car to the east alley, so as to save you long-windedness." ”

The shopkeeper Xu was busy asking Jingyi to go inside. When I entered the store, I invited her to sit as usual, and let people serve tea.

Qiu Wei came back and said that the car had been parked, "Uncle Zhang is sulking, the car is not in the way, it is the patrol police's blind command." ”

"Little things, don't worry about them." Jingyi sat down, smiled and said to the shopkeeper Xu: "I remember when I came back, I took a fancy to the appearance of two big sweaters, and the guy in the store said that there was no goods." Now you have it? ”

The shopkeeper Xu hurriedly asked what it looked like, and took the album to Jingyi to see. Jingyi pointed to show him, and then said, "It's for her, if you have it, it's the best." No, I'll take two pieces another day, and I'll bother the shopkeeper to find the master to change it...... The three pieces that I ordered back last time were also for her, but I got them all? Take it out and give it to her. ”

"Miss!" Qiu Wei stood behind her, and when she heard this, she suddenly realized, and hurriedly pulled her sleeve, "I don't want this...... Where are you going to let me go? ”

Jingyi looked at her and smiled: "My you are not suitable for wearing, otherwise there will be less trouble." I just don't wear it much, I always have to have one or two pieces. ”

Although she didn't say it explicitly, the shopkeeper Xu also understood when she heard it, so she smiled and said, "What the young grandmother said is true." Madame Shi's coat is already ready. It will take a few days for you to explain the few things. There is only one such thing in the album now. Do you look at things well? He motioned for the man to go and get it.

Qiu Wei was still fighting with Jing Yi, Jing Yi didn't pay attention to her, just discussed with Xu Da's shopkeeper, the guy first brought the coats customized by Mrs. Shi, she looked at it carefully, signed the list, and asked people to put it in the car first. At this time, the man also brought two camphor wood boxes, opened them and took out the silver fox skin, the coat color was oily and smooth, like a new life.

Jingyi motioned for Qiu Wei to take a look, Qiu Wei looked at it, came back and whispered, "Miss...... I saw the whole fox skin, and when I turned around my clothes, I always felt that there was a fox hanging on my body. ”

Jing Yi looked at the faces of the guy and the shopkeeper Xu, and almost laughed, so she deliberately asked Qiu Wei with a straight face: "This is not good, that is not good, you can tell me, what do you want?" ”

Qiu Wei hesitated for a moment, pointed to the fox skin and said, "Just ...... Just need a scarf. I saw that our old lady had a silver fox scarf like this. The fox bit its body and was like that...... I might as well have one. Miss, oh? ”

Jing Yi knew that it would not make sense to say that she was afraid, so she smiled and said, "It's not difficult to ask for this." Annoying the master just do what is good. I really want to consult with you, and the negotiation will not come to a conclusion. Luckily, I had an idea. ”

Tu Huyi returned to Lanzhou because of the wedding of Cen Gaoying and Ming Jiaojiao, and after the ceremony, taking advantage of the festive atmosphere, he formally proposed to Tao Xiang to marry Qiu Wei, and asked Tao Xiang to tell her. Tao Xiang really came to talk to her, and in front of them, he officially passed the Ming Road. Although she had already seen some signs, she still went to ask Qiu Wei what she meant. This girl is not afraid of anything on weekdays, and she was embarrassed to ask, but she still nodded. And so it was settled. When she said to Tao Xiang, she was still a little melancholy, and she didn't know why...... Tao Xiang said that this is probably the heart of marrying a girl.

She thought maybe it was. I always want to prepare all the good things for Qiu Wei. Zhang's mother couldn't stand it anymore, and said with a smile that the young grandmother can't be like that, it's too much, there will be this thing in the future, but it will be difficult to do. Although she thinks that what Zhang's mother said is reasonable, Qiu Wei is the only one in the world for her.

"Miss, that's it." Qiu Wei said with a smile.

Jingyi said to the shopkeeper Xu: "Just follow her." ”

The shopkeeper Xu smiled and ordered someone to collect the fur, and Jingyi picked out a few small items for Qiu Wei. There were no other customers in the store, Jing Yi chose things leisurely, and suddenly heard the sound of cars whistling outside, the harsh sound was endless, she looked back at the window, and saw the military trucks and jeeps stopped at the door of the store, and people got out of the cars one after another, the gray uniforms were ordinary soldiers, mixed with black uniforms, which were police ...... She frowned slightly.

There are also men in casual clothes. The clothes are very ordinary, but by looking at their demeanor, they know that they are agents.

"Young grandma, please come here." Xu Da shopkeeper said. He looked outside and motioned for the man to ask.
