Qiao Minzhi sometimes feels that she is a little self-deceived, and the first time she heard someone use this word about her was at the "Integrity Conference" a month ago.
At first glance, one might think that this is an official meeting to urge the middle and high-ranking officers of the various armies to be honest and diligent, but in fact, it is a ball.
When Ma Fuhua was still around, it was held once a quarter. At that time, she did not participate, thinking that it was just a group of people looking for an excuse for "clean government supervision" to get mixed up in a corrupt place.
Please ask the red corner of Beiping, the chef who came out of the imperial dining room, dressed beautifully, and the food and wine are exquisite.
Later, Ma Fuhua was gone, and after some scramble, Xie Yuru was changed to be the direct overseer, and this matter became once a month.
And the people who proposed this were none other than her two brothers.
Who doesn't love fun and excitement? Xie Yuru had just arrived, even though he knew that this would increase the cost, he still responded.
But she always felt that this situation would not last long.
At the dance last month, she danced with Xie Yuru as usual, and then socialized for a lap, and then got together with her three sisters-in-law for a table of cards.
She was standing on the terrace with a glass of milk, there were no stars in the night, and she didn't know what she was looking at.
When the second sister-in-law came over, she heard the sound of high heels early and turned around to say hello.
"How do you drink milk? Today's wines are all from French wineries. ”
Qiao Minzhi smiled, how could she not know this? Everything for the whole dance party was prepared by her, "I want a child, it's not good to drink." ”
The second sister-in-law said "hey" and looked down at her waist, "If you want me to say, your figure is good, is it because you always ride a horse in your father-in-law's training camp?" No matter how you look at it, it's still a girl. ”
Qiao Minzhi wasn't sure if it was a temptation or real envy, although she was awkward in her heart, she had the right to praise it on her face, "Horseback riding is the best exercise, and I will teach my second sister-in-law another day?" ”
The woman pursed her lips and smiled and shook her head, "Xiaomin, it's not my sister-in-law who said you." I look at you little couple, are you two awkward? I didn't feel comfortable all night. ”
Qiao Minzhi didn't answer, she felt that she was right, "It's normal for a man to have some rumors outside." Let's be big, turn a blind eye, and learn to deceive ourselves. ”
She understood what her second sister-in-law was talking about, after all, in the past two days, all newspapers and periodicals in Tianjin were saying that Xie Dujun was praising a dry dan.
"But it's just a man, and he can't have children, isn't it you who is the master of the Lu family?"
"Ma'am, the guest room is ready."
Qiao Minzhi was summoned back to her senses by the servant, walked to the door of the guest room prepared for Liao Wanyu and Xin Xiaoyue, and walked in to take a look.
The second sister-in-law is right, if it is a man, there is really nothing to worry about, but what if it is a woman? Others don't know about their fake marital status, but she herself is becoming more and more sober.
Liao Wanyu was in Tianjin on the second or third day, and she now hopes that everything is too peaceful, and there are no branches elsewhere. Instead of giving Xie Yuru a chance to get along with her, in the next few days, she pushed other things and concentrated on accompanying Liao Wanyu.
Thinking like this, Qiao Minzhi felt better again, she took out the small square handkerchief of pale yellow silk embroidered orchid and colorful butterflies on the side of the cheongsam, and wiped the corners of her eyes that were not tearful.
Liao Wanyu took a bath faster than Xin Xiaoyue came out, and she was wearing a half-new and not old wide cheongsam by Qiao Minzhi at this time, with no waist, and it was comfortable to sleep.
She was grateful to Qiao Minzhi, but she didn't know that Qiao Minzhi was unwilling to give her other clothes, so that Xie Yuru could still see her at home...... Stature.
"Madame, I'd like to go buy something before dinner." She wants to visit Yin Xuming tomorrow, and she doesn't want to waste her time in the morning. It's not getting late, and department stores or ready-to-wear stores should still be open.
Qiao Minzhi turned her head to look at the sky outside the window, and was not very happy to go out, "You just came to the house, and you are not in a hurry for this night, wait until tomorrow morning, the department store will open, and I will accompany you, okay?" ”
She pretended to be affectionate and took Liao Wanyu's left hand, and at the end of her words, she had to add "isn't it good", that is, she concluded that Liao Wanyu couldn't directly refuse her bad.
Sure enough, Liao Wanyu was silent for a few seconds to settle the matter. After that, Qiao Minzhi told her to rest first, and when it was time for dinner, she would send someone to call her, so she left her in the room and left by herself.
She thought that she was waiting, so it was better to talk to Yin Xuming on the phone first, but when she picked up her room, she found that it was just an internal phone, and it was the kitchen. They thought she was going to eat, but after asking, they realized that she wanted to fight outside the house.
After Xie moved into Ma Fuhua's house in Tianjin, he made some changes, one of which included the layout of telephone lines.
Originally, the telephone in each room of the house could be dialed to an outside line, and after the telephone bureau received it, it was not clear which room was broadcasting. Later, since he moved in, he left only three telephones on the outside line.
One is in his own study, and the other is in Qiao Minzhi's bedroom, although it is not locked, there are people waiting for him all day. The last one is left in the large living room on the first floor, where people come and go, and there are small soldiers standing guard outside the gate, which can be regarded as constant people.
It's not that he is suspicious, it's just that who revealed Ma Fuhua's itinerary to the Japanese has not yet been investigated. He also had to guard against it.
Liao Wanyu wanted to go to the hall to make a call, but when she got to the railing of the cloister on the second floor, she heard someone downstairs who seemed to be reporting to Xie Yuru on official business.
Qiao Minzhi's bedroom is a suite, with a separate small living room that serves as her reception room. Acquaintances come to visit, and this is enough.
When Liao Wanyu found her, she was telling the housekeeper what dishes to prepare for dinner. I don't know what the housekeeper said, Qiao Minzhi didn't sound very pleasant. He reprimanded the people, and only said that they had to have them, and then drove them away.
She stood in the hallway, and took a picture with the butler who came out, only to nod her head slightly in embarrassment. The housekeeper is also a human being, and he naturally has some emotions when he is scolded, and he is not good at acting in front of the hostess, but for the borrower who is obviously not very kind to the hostess, he does not mean to reluctantly pay for the smile.
Liao Wanyu doesn't care, the other party is a few years younger than her parents, she just treats her as an elder. After standing outside the door for three to five minutes, she hesitated, and finally took two steps and knocked on the door.
Qiao Minzhi scolded the housekeeper away, and casually picked up a pictorial from Paris to read, the pictorial was all in color, and it was the most fashionable clothes over there.
She raised her head and saw Liao Wanyu, and squeezed out a smile, "What's wrong?" ”
Liao Wanyu expressed that she wanted to call, but Qiao Minzhi was also generous, raised her hand and pointed to the telephone on the chest of drawers, telling her not to be polite.
Although the large suitcase was lost, the small cloth bag that Liao Wanyu carried with her when she ran down from the car was full of valuables, in addition to cash and a small yellow croaker, there were also two pieces of jewelry from her, and the other was the contact information of each family who had business dealings with her.
The book is not big, and she even stapled it with coarse cotton thread by herself, and the inside is fine and dense, and all the addresses, phone numbers and contact names are written. There are a few people who don't get along well, and she even used three or five adjectives to note the appearance and height of others.
There should be no one in the company at this time, and she knew before she came out that Yin Xuming's factory had been shut down, so she directly dialed the Yin family's home electricity, and only after asking did she know that the person was still living in the hospital and had not gone home. But when asked about the specific condition, the other end of the phone refused to elaborate.
Liao Wanyu thanked Qiao Minzhi and planned to go back to her room to wait quietly for dinner with Xin Xiaoyue, but she was still in the corridor when she heard the outside phone and remembered again. She was afraid that the Yin family would come back to look for her, so she stayed for a while, and later heard that she was looking for Qiao Minzhi, so she returned to the room with peace of mind.
Xie Xin was downstairs to report on military affairs, but when he heard the phone ringing, he took it, and then tilted his head and shouted "Madame's phone" upstairs, and then returned to official business.
Qiao Minzhi took the phone, and when she heard that it was the second sister-in-law, the two exchanged a few words, and the other party finally came to a serious topic.
"I heard that my brother-in-law brought a woman home?"
Qiao Minzhi didn't know how this matter spread so quickly, "Yes, it's just a fellow villager." When you go out, you should take care of it. ”
The second sister-in-law laughed twice over the phone after listening to it, "Yes, yes, yes, I'm afraid that you have a pimple in your heart, it's best for you to think like this." It's really a bit of something to look back, my sister-in-law advises you, don't have to drive people out, they all live under your nose, it's much better than keeping them outside. ”
She said this, and it was clear that she didn't believe in the reason of her fellow villagers. Qiao Minzhi was a little upset by her, but she didn't lose her temper, "I don't always live at home." They brought their assistants to Tianjin on business, and they will return to Shanghai in a few days. ”
"Shanghai?" The second sister-in-law smashed these two words in her mouth, and suddenly realized, "Is it the female representative who works as a bank in Shanghai?" ”
Qiao Minzhi frowned, "What kind of female representative, tabloid reporter scribble." You don't know that the shareholders of her bank are all indiscriminate scholars, and they don't know how to get the business. ”
As soon as the second sister-in-law heard this, she understood that she had thought things right, squeezed her eyes with her own man beside her, and continued to add fuel to Qiao Minzhi's fire. Both of them are now anxious to provoke the relationship between Qiao Minzhi and Xie Yuru, if their marriage breaks down, they will have to think anew if they want to come to the southern government.
"Then listen to what you mean, I think she shouldn't be a pure white person, such a woman, but she can't be called to live at home!"
