Chapter 51: The Clouds Are Treacherous
Haicheng, Changqing Road, "Haitang Spring" clothing store closes on time at ten o'clock every night, this clothing store has seven or eight masters from Suzhou, who have made cheongsams for most of their lives, the craftsmanship, the workmanship, the color matching, are among the best in Haicheng, therefore, Haicheng's celebrities and actresses like to customize clothes in this store.
At half past nine o'clock in the evening, the apprentice cleaned the three-storey, 400-square-meter shop, and was about to close the door, when suddenly a telephone rang from behind the counter.
A delicate-looking waitress picked up the phone: "Hey, hello......"
There were voices on the phone that were so hoarse that I couldn't hear the voices of men and women: "Is Miss Zhang there?"
The hostess held the microphone and was stunned: "Who are you looking for?" The hostess goes to work at six o'clock every night and leaves work at ten o'clock, and is responsible for answering the phone during this time. There are three telephones in the store, but the only people who know about this phone are the top executives of the clothing store or the most important customers. The hostess knew very well that the content of the order placed by these guests would never be a beautiful dress. Therefore, these guests must not be offended.
But this girl has undergone the most professional training, and her vigilance is very high, she did not take it lightly, and the waitress smiled apologetically: "I'm sorry, we don't have this person in the store."
"I'm looking for Zhang Yunxiu." The voice on the phone was so rough that it hurt people's ears. The waitress said "oh" and said, "Sister Yun is busy making a cheongsam with a hundred butterflies wearing a flower pipa collar and inlaid with pearls, I'm afraid I won't have time to answer the phone."
There seemed to be a laugh: "But my young lady wants to make another cheongsam of the same style as the moonlight on the lotus pond."
The waitress frowned, and her voice revealed a little embarrassment: "Since you want to use it next week, make another one at this time, I'm afraid you won't be able to catch it out." You also know that, in addition to a few familiar customers, these orders in the store are usually made by a few masters and apprentices. Miss Zhang made your clothes, which was an exception. ”
"My young lady said that the price is negotiable." The person on the other end of the line didn't want to just give up.
The hostess showed a hint of helplessness: "Okay, I'll let Miss Zhang tell you." The waitress put the microphone on the table and shouted at a young apprentice, "Ah Cai, go to the third floor and call Miss Zhang." ……
When Chen Xi came back in the evening, she personally bought a table of wine and food, she wore a light green light gauze skirt, embroidered with slim white magnolia flowers at the skirt, and the soft smoke and light gauze shawl of azure on the crook of her arm.
A flash of surprise flashed in Chen Xi's eyes, and he sat down by relying on Chang'e, who waved away the servants and poured wine for Chen Xi in person.
The sweet and fragrant Jiuyuchun wine has been stored for 30 years, and when she opened the bottle and poured the crystal clear liquor into the white jade bowl, the thick aroma of the wine came to her nose, and the air was filled with a fragrant drunkenness.
Chen Xi sandwiched a chopsticks crab stuffed orange, he didn't like this dish originally, but Xi'e loved this taste very much, and over time, Chen Xi could also clip a few chopsticks.
Auntie personally sandwiched a basket of cherry meat onto Chen Xi's plate, raised her eyebrows and smiled: "I made this dish myself, do you taste it?" The taste of cherry meat is sweet and sour, Chen Xi doesn't like sweetness, and when she makes this dish, she always puts less sugar, and Chen Xi eats most of the plate for face.
Auntie raised the white jade wine glass in her hand: "Husband, I respect you."
Chen Xi took a sip of the jade bowl, with a moving smile in the corner of his flying eyes: "What a good day today, the wine is on the table."
Auntie smiled coquettishly: "It's rare that you have time to come back to accompany me, this is not a good day?"
Her charming and affectionate words made Chen Xi's heart happy, and she took the bowl and drank it very happily. Chen Xi is a good wine, and he is not drunk in a thousand cups. But Chang'e hates the smell of wine, and Chen Xi never dares to come back with the intention of drinking. Tonight, the person he put on the tip of his heart was able to accompany him to drink, and Chen Xi was overjoyed.
But she deliberately wanted to get Chen Xi drunk, and after dinner, she took Chen Xi's hand and went to the piano room, which was usually where she practiced.
On a walnut table in the corner of the piano room, there were fresh melons, fruits and wine, and Chen Xi was pulled to sit down, and said with a light smile: "Husband, wait for me." After speaking, he walked out of the piano room.
The maid combed her hair in a bun, changed into a light, flowing water-red half-arm fairy dress, pasted a kingfisher flower on her forehead, and painted a half-open peach blossom with gold dust and rouge at the end of her eyebrows and the corners of her eyes.
The sound of silk and bamboo sounded in the next room, and Chen Xi, who was drinking alone, raised his head suddenly, only to see Auntie stepping in with a dance dress, her water sleeves were lightly raised, her waist turned slowly, her toes were low, and her dancing posture was light and elegant, like a wild goose flapping its wings, volleying in the air.
She smiled with her lips, the bright moon swayed on her ears on the side of her snowy cheeks, and a pair of bright eyes saw stars and moonsets, and her brilliance was unparalleled.
The music is gradually as dense as raindrops, the toes of Auntie are spinning, the thin waist is about to be folded, the flying coat is blowing the clouds, the tenderness is graceful, the dance steps are like riding the lotus and breaking the waves, and the shadow posture is like the snow lingering in the wind. The beautiful dancing posture is graceful like the wind and waves, and the wind flutters uncertainly......
The wine glass in Chen Xi's hand had been spilled, and the wine was dripping down the edge of the table and spilling on the carpet. His handsome eyes were full of fascination, and his heart rose and fell with the dance of Xi'e, and he didn't settle down or up.
At the end of the song, Chen Xijun's face was drenched in three points of drunkenness, and he stretched out his long arms and pulled the person into his arms...... She smiled and poured him wine, glass after glass...... A pair of bright eyes like water are charming......
After a night of indulgence, Auntie got up, and the bedside was empty. Last night, the jade was soft and soft, unbearable wind and rain, and her bright eyes were wet and sweaty, in exchange for Chen Xi's promise to allow her to go to Jane's house to stay temporarily for three days.
She went out as usual and took the car to the riverside garden where Jane lived.
As soon as she entered the door, Jane Jenny welcomed her into the study on the first floor, and four large suitcases were packed in the study, and Chang'e changed her clothes, and took Feiqiong and others out of the back door of the villa, and the two cars were parked low-key on the sparsely populated back street.
She got into the car, and the car drove smoothly towards the train station.
In the carriage, Feiqiong went out silently carrying the kettle, and Auntie raised her hand to stop: "When you go out, don't attract attention, others can drink, I can drink too."
A kettle, no matter how much it is washed, is not something that she brought with her, and she is ready to endure the inconvenience of this journey before making a decision.
"Master, where the young marshal, can Miss Biao hide it?" Jichun was apprehensive. Once the young marshal knows, the fate of these people will not be good.
"He's going to call tomorrow night at the earliest, and I'm all in Sioux City by this time." If he lives in Jane's Mansion by himself, Chen Xi will not be relieved, so he has to call and ask. It is this time difference that is calculated by Auntie. "As for Jenny, she won't even have the ability to get out of it."
Auntie lay on the bed and slept for more than ten hours, the train arrived in Haicheng in the middle of the night, Feiqiong got off the train with Jichun and Zaoxiu, and Auntie looked out the window at the three beautiful shadows in the distance, her eyes were dark and unclear.
Ju Huo came in with a few aluminum lunch boxes, she opened the lid of the box, a box of tamales, a box of vegetarian fried cocoon, and a box of white rice, Ju Huo used chopsticks to pull the white rice aside, and picked up a long strip wrapped with a layer of oiled paper from the bottom of the lunch box, she tore off the outer skin, and handed the small paper strip rolled into a roll to Xi'e.
A pair of white hands as white as jade unfolded the note, and after seeing the handwriting on it, her eyes narrowed slightly, and there were only four words written on the paper: Dream in the Garden.
"Di-" The whistle of the train arrived at the station, and as soon as the sky was bright, Chang'e got off the train with two girls. Out of the station, Ju Huo beckoned over three rickshaws and said in the Sioux dialect: "Master, go to Qingque Lane."
Chen Xi went to the office, Tang Ping waited there with a solemn face, and when he saw Chen Xi coming in, he hurriedly stepped forward to help him take off his military jacket. "Young marshal, Madame is really not in Jane's House. According to our secret whistle report, Madame took a few maids to Haicheng, but only three maids got off in Haicheng, and Madame's real destination was Sioux City. ”
Tang Ping's news did not surprise Chen Xi much. It was also ten days ago that he found out that his wife was actually connected with the largest underworld force in Haicheng.
HONGMEN'S POWER IS ENTRENCHED IN MOST OF THE SOUTH, AND ITS TERRITORY EXTENDS TO LIANGGUANG, AND THE OLD NEST IS LOCATED IN HAICHENG.
After changing a mysterious new boss, this Hongmen took the helm and supported five generals single-handedly, and the "Five Tigers" of Hongmen were famous, which made the road frightened, not to mention that Hongmen also has a more mysterious, Tsing Yi Society specializing in assassination, but in a few years, everyone in the entire underworld was in danger.
On the side of the couch, how can others snore and sleep, Chen Xi has always paid a lot of attention to the Hongmen of Haicheng, and a lot of spies have been inserted, but he has never been able to enter the core of the Hongmen.
But one of the spies got into a good position in the Hongmen account room. It took the spy two full years to discover from a pile of real and fake ledgers that there has always been a mysterious force behind Hongmen's Tsing Yi Society secretly supporting, this force is rich, and the flow of money on the books is an astronomical amount every month.
When Chen Xi received the news, he immediately arranged for someone to secretly investigate, during which it took a lot of effort, and by chance, he found out that the person who funded the Tsing Yi Club was actually the boss behind the Heng Dredging Stack. It was only at this point that this humble warehouse revealed its tip of the iceberg in front of everyone.
Heng Dredging Stack started with transportation and groceries, and it seems that they are all small business with small profits, and I am afraid no one would have thought that this Stack is rich and rivals the country.
When a complete investigation report was placed on Chen Xi's desk, Chen Xi couldn't believe his eyes, if the "Sparrow" was not the intelligence agency he set up, if the "Eagle" was not the best among them, he would not believe the authenticity of the investigation results. Who would have thought that a wealthy businessman who had opened warehouses all over the country would be a little woman, and she was also his wife Chen Xi!
The woman who used to be as gentle as water in front of him, as if she was wearing a perfect mask, he broke this mask with his own hands, revealing her pampered, charming, lively, domineering, willful, and pungent faces, he loved every one of her temperaments, but now he knew that in front of him, she was still wearing countless masks, and the incorruptible shell of King Kong wrapped her softest inside, and her parents, husband, and brother could not peep into it, whether it was only in front of that person that she would reveal her truest self.
Chen Xi squeezed the pen in his hand tightly, a night of love, there seems to be that blow-breakable, warm and soft touch between his fingers, obviously the skin is on a blind date, the ears and temples are grinding, but between him and her, there is a moat!
Chen Xi hated so much that his heart was dripping blood!
