Chapter 138: Thorn in the Back

Two days later, Liu Zhen came down in a loss and said gloomily: "It's no fun." ”

"What?"

"Zhang Yanxi and his father completely fell out, Zhang Yanxi was kicked out, he was happy to live with his lover, but the poor Miss Qu family, but the beauty was not in a good place."

"What's wrong with her?"

"Her husband has been evicted from the house, what can she do? I can't keep with it, I can't keep it, she can't stay in the Zhang family, she went back to her parents' house yesterday, and this matter will become a topic of conversation after dinner. Liu Zhen sighed helplessly, "I thought this was a farce, under such huge pressure from public opinion and his father, Zhang Yanxi would turn back, but I didn't expect him to be so resolute, these literati are really arrogant in their bones." ”

Zhuang Yuncheng was just worried that Qu Yingjiao, an almost perfect woman like her, would have to suffer these pains.

"Once Zhang Yanxi breaks with his father, it will be impossible for us to connect with Zhang Yanxi's father through Qu Yingjiao, and the mission will be cancelled."

Zhuang Yuncheng didn't care whether this task was canceled or not, she just wondered if her deal with Qu Yingjiao was also over.

"Also, the East China Commercial Bank has not made any moves recently, but there is no guarantee that it will not start in the future, and recently there are arms and tea purchased from the south that have been approved to transit in Tianjin, you have to personally escort it back, and it is best to leave the day after tomorrow."

"How many days does it take to come and go?"

"It can be as little as ten days, as much as half a month, depending on the situation on the road." Liu Zhen said, "In five days, He Dujun will have a feast to celebrate his birthday, and I can't be absent, so I can't go." ”

Zhuang Yuncheng couldn't help but agree, so he had to respond.

Qu Yingjiao returned to her parents' home, even though the outside world was in an uproar, making a big fuss around them, entertaining herself, she seemed to have evaporated, disappeared from people's sight, Zhuang Yuncheng couldn't find anything, and she was going to Tianjin again, her trust could only be disappointed.

Time flies, a month later

Xiao Jinyu came back from the British Embassy in a hurry, his face was not good, he walked to the hall, saw a cup of warm tea on the table, frowned solemnly, sipped it, it was not hot, he drank it all in one gulp, spit out the residual tea residue, and threw the cup on the ground, a girl was so frightened that she hurriedly took a step back, and several people also ran over to see.

"What's wrong?" Jin Ni hurriedly walked in from outside the door and asked.

"It's fine." Xiao Jinyu glanced at her coldly and went straight back to the room.

The little girl hurriedly came to clean up, and Jin Ni asked the little girl: "What do you don't like him?" ”

"Nope." And so they all said.

Jin Ni was also puzzled, and when she heard her daughter's cry, the nurse came with her in her arms, and Jin Ni took it and coaxed her in her arms. She still thought that she had done nothing wrong, and that he should be angry outside, so she went to his room to look.

Xiao Jinyu was looking out the window, and outside the window were glowing green trees, but Jinni couldn't see anything in his eyes.

"You ......"

Xiao Jinyu came back to his senses, saw Jin Ni and the daughter in her arms, half of his anger was gone, he didn't wait for Jin Ni to speak again, he walked up to her, stretched out his hand to scratch his daughter's face, the little girl stared at him, smiling, Jin Ni was also happy.

"How old is my daughter?"

Jin Ni glanced at him and said angrily: "You are still a father, I don't know this?" ”

"I know she was born on October 10 of the year before last, but I don't know how many days it has been until now."

Jin Ni pondered and said, "Today is September 10th, and I will be two years old in one month. ”

"It's fast." Xiao Jinyu smiled and said, "You have been married for three years. ”

Jin Ni looked at him and smiled slightly, happy and faintly painful in her heart, but the joy was much more than the pain.

"Do you want to hug her?" Jin Ni asked.

As soon as he stretched out his hand, he retracted it and said, "Wait until I come back." ”

"Where else are you going?"

"Yun Cheng's family."

"Can you go tomorrow?"

"Unless I don't want to sleep tonight." With that, he turned and walked away.

Jin Ni was stunned for a moment, Xiao Jinyu had just walked to the door, and she suddenly said, "What can't you tell me?" ”

Xiao Jinyu looked back at her, and Jin Ni's heart jumped suddenly.

"You don't like to hear about these things."

"But you never asked me, you never told me, I never knew what you were thinking."

Xiao Jinyu looked at her seriously, she actually felt a little fresh when she said this, and she had never said these words. "It's just...... Business matters. Xiao Jinyu kept blinking and said slowly.

Jin Ni was stunned, she seemed to be frightened by herself, and in her mind, she never dared to say these words.

Xiao Jinyu saw that she was stunned, and said, "I'll be back later." ”

Jin Ni stopped asking, walked to the window, and watched him leave the porch.

In the afternoon, Zhuang Yuncheng went to the spice shop after taking a nap, he thought that Qu Yingjiao would come again, but she didn't.

Xiao Jinyu arrived at the gate and asked Ju An: "Is your young master here?" ”

"Yes." Juan said, "I'll report it." ”

Xiao Jinyu nodded, and was walking into the hall, Yun Yun came home from school, also entered the door, saw Xiao Jinyu, and asked, "Brother Jin Yu, what are you doing here?" ”

Xiao Jinyu smiled: "Don't worry, I'm not looking for you." ”

"Huh...... I'm not afraid you'll find me. ”

"Yes, then I'll make a special trip to find you another day, don't hide and disappear."

"Cut, I'm going to school now, and I'm often not at home, so don't say I'm hiding deliberately if you can't see me." Yun Yun walked to the backyard as she spoke, and met Zhuang Yuncheng head-on.

"People are waiting for you, go quickly." Yun Yun said.

"Got it," Zhuang Yuncheng pushed her away, and suddenly turned around and stopped, "Your sister is washing her hair, you go wash it too." ”

"Okay."

Yunyun walks under the large willow tree next to the pond and sees Fluttershy washing her hair, and she dips her long hair in a wooden tub of acacia on a stone bench, rubbing it with soap. Yun Yun walked over, rolled up her collar, and scooped water to rinse.

"Why don't you live at the school?" Fluttershy asks, looking down.

"Annoying." Yun Yun said lightly, too lazy to mention a recent incident that bothered her, her eyebrows lowered, she just thought about it, and kept flushing Zhuang Die's head.

"That's enough."

"Oh." Yun Yun came back to her senses and took a dry towel to wipe her.

They don't know yet, it's still the wall, there is a thumb-sized hole in it, Liu Zhen's son, Liu Jing, but whenever he hears the sound of talking in the backyard, he will run over and peek, he pretends to be a scholar, but he can't refrain from doing this kind of demonic behavior, maybe the words of the sage book are too profound, he doesn't understand, he doesn't understand incivility, don't look at incivility, don't listen to incivility.

At this time, Aunt Li brought a basin of warm water, Yun Yun untied her hair, soaked it first, and she asked, "Sister, although it is not as hot as before, it is not cold, why do I have a cold spine?" ”

When Liu Wei heard this, he shrank his head in panic and sat on the ground.

"Who knows?" Zhuang Die said and looked around, she always felt uncomfortable like a thorn in her back, but for some reason.

vestibule

Xiao Jinyu stood like this, didn't sit down, and said angrily: "A Japanese, an Englishman, * damn it, in front of me, tore the contract to shreds-"

Zhuang Yuncheng looked at his eyes that were about to burst into flames, and knew how angry he was.

"Politics wants to intervene, the military wants to monopolize, and the economy needs to be controlled, and on the land of China, he will divide a piece, name it, and build a few houses as theirs!"

"These foreigners are originally robbers, and they are all robbers, so don't expect to take advantage of them when you interact with them."

"It's not the first time, it's not so excessive before, it's just an inch!"

"There's no reason to talk to them," Zhuang Yuncheng asked, "After all that, what is the matter?" ”

"The first one, which controlled the export of my cotton and linen and gold and stone, cut it by a third, and even tore up the contract in front of me; The second, when Prince Gong's two treasures were auctioned at the embassy, one was an ancient bronze horse face, and the other was the Beihai Night Pearl, I originally bought it, but the damn British were troublemakers behind his back, and he transferred the Beihai Night Pearl, and nine days later it was his wife's birthday, and he made a calculation. ”

"These two things, it's not an exaggeration to say that they are rare treasures, and he stole them like this? And that contract, which was also torn casually? Is this really his house, is it such a mess! Zhuang Yuncheng said angrily.

"I can't bear it anymore this time, it's not over." Xiao Jinyu said coldly, "Let them pay off all their debts at once." ”

"Who are they?"

"One is a British duke, the other is Japanese, he should be a high-ranking official, and he doesn't know the details." Xiao Jinyu had their faces in his mind, and he was angry, he said, "I have been in this Vanity Fair for all these years, and I have not suffered such a loss, these two people ......"

Zhuang Yuncheng saw that his expression was cold, his eyes were solemn, and he knew that he wanted to kill him, "Can your people do it?" Zhuang Yuncheng asked.

"What?" Xiao Jinyu asked.

"Do you want to let these two foreign robbers do whatever they want?" Zhuang Yuncheng sneered, "After all, this is China, it is Beiping City, all robbers, it is not a pity to die!" The rats crossing the street are still shouted and beaten by everyone, and these ghosts who are rampant on the street make them not overborn. ”

"I know how to breathe this out, the Englishman's wife will have a banquet on her birthday, and I will make her birthday the death day of the Englishman." Xiao Jinyu said with a fierce look in his eyes.

"That's the best, but how can I get close to him?"

"You have to deal with the Japanese first, get his invitation, and then get in and deal with the British." Xiao Jinyu said, "But there is still a long time, everything is still uncertain, let them live for a few more days." ”

"Okay, you can let me know at any time, and Fluttershy and I will go and see."

"What are you going to do?"

Zhuang Yuncheng smiled and asked, "Jin Yu, have you ever killed someone?" ”

"What do you mean?"

Zhuang Yuncheng stretched out his hands and said, "My hands have been stained with blood, and they are no longer clean." ”

Xiao Jinyu asked cautiously: "Who?" When? ”

"A couple of thieves, more than a month ago."

Xiao Jinyu laughed and said, "Yun Cheng, it seems that we are all changing. ”

"yes."

Yun Yun hurriedly washed her hair, came from behind, walked in the sun for a while, the uncomfortable feeling disappeared, Zhuang Die also came over, and saw Xiao Jinyu just went out.

"What's the matter?" Zhuang Die asked.

Zhuang Yuncheng glanced at Yun Yun, only shook his head and said, "It's okay." ”

"I see something, but I just don't tell me." Yun Yun said, wiping her hair while going to the house to look in the mirror.

Zhuang Die handed over a look, Zhuang Yuncheng blinked, nodded, she knew that something was really wrong.
