Chapter 147: The Night Pearl of the North Sea
Zhang Yanxi's true feelings made Yin Hong also show her truest side, she cried, until a long time later, she stopped crying, and now there is only happiness left.
"You have already entered my heart, if you start to enter my life, then you are the only one, life is not cooking, but it starts with eating." Zhang Yanxi said seriously.
"I see." Yin Hong wiped her tears and smiled, and after a while, she asked again, "When did you make the choice?" β
"This morning, on the way to Yingjiao's house."
"Oh?" Yin Hong raised her head from Zhang Yanxi's arms and asked:
"Not to me for this meal?"
"Ho, how can a meal be decided, but this meal is the beginning of our life, and it has more important meaning."
Yin Hong pursed her lips and smiled, at this moment, she was lying carefree, this kind of happiness was like falling in love for the first time when she was a teenager, but in this happiness, there was love.
Nine days later
This day is the tenth birthday of Qu Yingjiao and Zhang Yanxi's child, Zhang Yanxi said that he is not a good father, so he put the child next to Qu Yingjiao, Zhuang Yuncheng's family went to her house, after everything settled, Qu Yingjiao started life again, it seems to be back to the age of twenty, she is cheerful and lively, positive and optimistic, this attitude to life, than twenty years old, more mature and open-minded.
"Yun Cheng, accompany me to see my father, okay?" She asked.
"Of course, how long has it been since you've been there?"
"It's been half a year, am I a bad daughter?" Qu Yingjiao asked with a smile.
Zhuang Yuncheng laughed twice, shook his head, and asked again, "Are you the only one going?" β
"Yes, the eldest brother and the second brother are busy, and I think my father likes me more, so I'll just go, otherwise he will be annoyed if he goes too much."
"Yes, Old Man Qu Tianlin is practicing in the deep mountains, like an immortal, and we are just mortals."
"Also, I just asked Yunyun and Fluttershy if they would like to go to the mountains, and they want to go too, so the four of us can be together, and it will definitely not be boring along the way."
"Good. Now that you know the shortcut, you can go in the morning and return in the evening at most. β
"Well, thank you." Qu Yingjiao said.
"What's there to thank you for?"
"I'm not just referring to this time, but during this time, it's good to have you."
"It's fine." Zhuang Yuncheng shook his head.
On the same day, Qu Yingjiao kept them for dinner, played until dark, and then everyone dispersed, and agreed to visit Qu Tianlin on October 7.
Two days later, half a month after Fluttershy's assassination of Trade Minister Naganozawa, the rumors outside have finally eased a bit, but Japanese secret services are everywhere, and they must be lurking in secret, and everything still can't be too public.
On this day, Yun Yun went home from vacation, everyone was having lunch, Zhuang Yuncheng asked Yun Yun: "You have also been studying at school for a few months, can you speak English?" β
"Yes, the teacher saw that I could speak Japanese, said that I had a talent for languages, and asked me to learn English."
"Ahem, do you still have a talent for languages?" Zhuang Yuncheng said with a smile.
"It's not that I'm not as talented as you, I'm much better than others, just look down on me." Yun Yun argued unconvinced.
Zhuang Die smiled and asked again: "Then it's okay to talk to the British." β
"This one does." Yun Yun said confidently and asked again. "What do you want to do?"
"I'll take you to the British Concession tomorrow."
The three siblings looked at each other, full of doubts and expectations.
The next day, the Red Pavilion in the English Quarter
It was a place of trade, cultural exchange, entertainment, and the residence of British aristocrats and high-ranking officials, and the Englishman whom Xiao Jinyu hated lived on the second floor of the Red Pavilion apartment.
His whereabouts had been fully ascertained these days, and he went to the embassy at half-past eight, his wife went to meet friends at about nine o'clock in the morning, the Englishman came back at eleven o'clock, and his husband came back at an uncertain time, but before twelve o'clock they would go back to the apartment to change their clothes, and go down to the dining room for lunch and a cocktail party. If you want to get back the pearl of the North Sea and deal with the British, you must complete these two things after the Britlet Lady leaves and before she returns.
Zhuang Yuncheng and Yun Yun first wanted to enter the Red Pavilion to find out the situation, Yun Yun thought that the golden feather black and white wide-colored hat that Xiao Jinyu gave her could finally come in handy, she imitated the British woman to wear, and then put on this big hat, in addition to not being an Englishman, she also looked like a complete aristocrat, after all, she was really a nobleman a few years ago. Zhuang Yuncheng also imitated the British "gentlemen" dressed, there was a look, they easily blended into the Red Pavilion, there are mostly British people here, speaking some English that Zhuang Yuncheng didn't understand, Yun Yun sighed: "It's really magnificent here, and the classical tone looks very 'aristocratic'." β
She looked at the British women holding the arms of the men next to them, and also held Zhuang Yuncheng, and asked, "Brother, where are we going to play?" β
It was only half past eight, and the Englishman's wife didn't know if she was leaving, so Zhuang Yuncheng said, "Let's go to the apartment area first." β
They walked through the lobby, from the side porch, to the dining room, and from the back door of the restaurant, there was an empty apartment area, only a Western-style building, low three floors, but it looked extremely luxurious, it should be just the residence of the nobles. Surrounded by flowers and plants, set up a simple fence courtyard wall, Zhuang Yuncheng walked around the back of the apartment, looking at a room on the second floor, a blonde woman was watering flowers on the balcony, she must be the wife of the British.
"Nothing to see, let's go." Zhuang Yuncheng asked, "Where do you want to play?" Why don't you try the British breakfast? β
"But I've had breakfast."
"So be it."
"Let's go and look around." Yun Yun dragged him away.
Zhuang Yuncheng had to pay attention to the time when this blonde and blue-eyed British woman left, and Yun Yun had no choice but to go around, "Then don't go far." He said.
"How big is here, how far can it be, it's gone." Yun Yun kept urging.
Zhuang Yuncheng was dragged away by him, and when he turned back, he saw that the British woman had already entered the house.
Then, the two went to the entertainment area to take a look, they were all gambling cards, drinking, and dancing.
At nine o'clock, Zhuang Yuncheng estimated that the British woman was gone, and he went to see it first, and sure enough, he asked Yun Yun to go to the back door of the Red Pavilion together.
"Where are we going?" Yun Yun asked.
"I tell you, listen to me later, you can do whatever I tell you to do?"
"Huh? What are you going to tell me to do? β
"Don't ask now." Zhuang Yuncheng took her and hurried back.
The back door of the Red Pavilion is an iron barricade, and there are two British soldiers guarding the door.
"Yun Yun." Zhuang Yuncheng said to her, "Wait a while, two workers will enter through the back door, and those two guards will definitely not let them in, so you can say that your apartment will repair the doors and windows, and let the British let them in." β
"Why?"
"Alas, tell you not to ask, just do as I say."
At this time, the two workers in sackcloth were already arguing with the guards, and since they could not understand each other's words, they had to make a gesture, and the two guards used guns to get rid of the two workers.
"Go ahead." Zhuang Yuncheng pushed Yunyun over.
Zhuang Yuncheng only heard them muttering, and the anger of the two Britons gradually subsided, and then nodded slowly, opening the door to let the two in. Yun Yun then smiled and nodded to the two, and said something Zhuang Yuncheng listened to like "three yo", and the two British guards smiled happily, muttered, and watched Yun Yun leave.
These two workers came to inform Zhuang Yuncheng first.
"You go straight to the bathroom on the second floor and make sure there's no one inside." Zhuang Yuncheng commanded.
"Yes." The two left directly.
Yun Yun came over and was surprised: "You are strange today, are you doing something?" β
"Talk as you go." Zhuang Yuncheng said cautiously, "If I say no, I'm lying to you, but this matter can only be said to one person." β
"What?"
"The British stole one of Jin Yu's North Sea Night Pearls, do you think you should take it back?"
"Ah, you're going to steal it back?"
"Shhhhh
"Oh, well, how do you take it?"
"There's already a plan, you just listen to me." Zhuang Yuncheng said as he took Yunyun to the second floor of the apartment, there were still two guards in front of the apartment, but they ignored the passers-by, and the two went straight to the second floor, whether it was the corridor or the lobby, there were British people walking around.
"Brother, where did you call those two workers just now?"
"Bathroom."
"Bathroom? Where there is, I'm going. β
Zhuang Yuncheng pointed to the end of the corridor and said, "Go to the end, turn left, and you can see it yourself after walking for a while." β
"Okay, you wait for me here."
"Well," Zhuang Yuncheng looked around on the railing, and suddenly said, "See clearly, don't make a mistake, divide men and women." β
"When I can't read."
Yun Yun walked to see that the door frame was written in English, "If you don't know English, you may really be able to make a mistake." She laughed, and pushed the door open.
The two workers went into the next bathroom, and in order to eliminate all idlers, they locked the door and refused to allow everyone to enter, waiting for only that one person.
Zhuang Yuncheng waited for a short time, Yun Yun returned, and the two of them went to the front lobby, where Fluttershy and Xiao Jinyu were also there.
"Are they ready?" Xiao Jinyu asked.
"Alright." Zhuang Yuncheng sits down, and Fluttershy pours him and Yunyun a glass of wine.
"Is it good?" Zhuang Yuncheng said, "I smell a kind of rotten petals. β
"Foreigners like to drink this, you taste it."
Zhuang Yuncheng took a sip, astringent and slightly bitter, the taste was indescribable, anyway, it was not delicious, he pouted, this high-end place, it was not elegant to spit out, so he had to swallow it forcibly.
"Oops, it's hard to drink, Yunyun, don't drink it."
As soon as Yun Yun brought it to her mouth, she felt uncomfortable when she smelled it, and when she heard him say this, she put it down.
"I couldn't get used to it at first, but slowly it got better." Xiao Jinyu said.
"Sister, let's go play, there's something nice over there."
Fluttershy smiled and shook her head, looked around, and muttered, "No, I can't go." β
"What's the matter, you said yesterday to bring me here to play."
"Ha, you've been fooled." Xiao Jinyu smiled, "They won't take you, I'll invite you another day." β
"You, you people, reallyβ"
In the middle of his words, Xiao Jinyu suddenly saw the British guy appear at the entrance, "He's back!" Xiao Jinyu hurriedly got up and said, "Hurry up!" β
Several people stood up suddenly, Yun Yun was at a loss, and asked, "What's wrong?" β
Zhuang Die and Xiao Jinyu had already left, and Zhuang Yuncheng hurriedly said, "Come with me." As he spoke, he followed the British.
Allowed to chase all the way behind you. "Slow down." She shouted.
Stumbling along the way, she had to hold her hat in her hand, still bumping into the person on the side, and saying sorry, sorry......
When he arrived at the apartment area, there were fewer people, Zhuang Yuncheng stared at the British guy who was walking in a hurry, and said to Yun Yun: "When this Englishman opens the door, you immediately lead him to the bathroom door, no matter what method you use!" Do you understand? β
"I understand, butβ"
"No, do you know how to do it?"
"Got it, wait for him to open the door and lead him to the bathroom."
"Yes." Seeing that he was starting to go upstairs, Zhuang Yuncheng quickened his pace, urging as he walked: "Hurry up and keep up with me." β
Yun Yun was out of breath and trotted all the way to keep up.
