Seeing Lin Wenjing come out, Chen Zikun hurriedly greeted with vigor and said, "Miss Lin, do you want a car?" ”

"Shhh ”

Chen Zikun didn't say a word, spread out his two long legs and pulled the car out of the alley, Lin Wenjing covered his heart and said: "It's really thrilling, I was almost seen by Uncle Zhang." ”

"Miss, are you running away from home or what?" Chen Zikun asked as he ran.

"Hehe, uncle, you really know how to laugh, Aunt Mi took my brother to the card game, my father has a dinner, and I am left at home, I made an appointment with Wang Yueqi, today I went to see the stilts, by the way, Uncle, your business is okay."

"It's good, you don't have to worry about food and clothing, Miss, why did you remember to ask this?"

"Because I took us out to play, and you were fired by Aunt Mi, I always wanted to say sorry to you."

"Haha, it's fine."

Wang Yueqi's home was two streets away, and soon arrived at the Wang Mansion, Lin Wenjing got off the driveway: "Uncle, can you wait for me for a while?" ”

"No problem."

"Thank you." Lin Wenjing jumped into the palace, and came out with Wang Yueqi in less than ten minutes. ”

Lin Wenjing didn't say anything, got into the car with her, and went to the Big Bell Temple, every year on the first day of the first month is the opening day of the Big Bell Temple, singing, juggling, stilts, and all kinds of cheap and delicious snacks, there is everything.

After arriving at the place, Wang Yueqi gave Chen Zikun two eldest sons and pulled Lin Wenjing to play, Chen Zikun gave the two eldest sons to the old man who set up a tea stall on the side of the road: "Old man, help me watch the car, thank you." ”

After settling the car, he followed behind the two girls, the temple fair was crowded, shoulder to shoulder, and the ruffians and gangsters were indispensable, and the two young girls were naturally targeted quickly, and the two scoundrels looked at Lin Wenjing's slender back in a daze, wiped the saliva on their mouths and followed.

Where can the scoundrel's actions be concealed from Chen Zikun's fiery eyes, he stepped forward quickly, grabbed a scoundrel's arm and dragged it down, dislocated when he landed, he screamed in pain, beads of sweat the size of beans dripped down, and his accomplices were at a loss, how could he care about stalking beauties.

Hearing the screams from behind, Lin Wenjing looked back, and Wang Yueqi said unfazedly: "It's okay, Xu is stepping on someone's foot, by the way, tomorrow the Six Nations Hotel will have a fireworks party, will you go?" ”

"What, I don't know." Lin Wenjing was stunned.

"A must-go, all the celebrities in Beijing will be there, this will be the biggest fireworks show of 1919, to celebrate the victory in Europe and the Chinese New Year, every guest will be dressed in a costume to dance under the fireworks in full bloom, it is like a fairy tale." Wang Yueqi narrowed her eyes and acted intoxicated.

"Oh" Lin Wenjing could only respond obediently, she had been locked up at home for reflection during this time, where did she know what was happening outside.

"I've inquired, and officials above the deputy minister will receive invitations, but there are more pro-Japanese officials in the Duan Cabinet, and they would rather stay in the house to play mahjong than join in the fun, so the invitation is easy to get, and I have asked Senior Xu to help me get it."

"Can you get one for me?" Lin Wenjing said quietly.

Wang Yueqi hesitated, but still agreed: "Okay, I want to find a way, but I can't guarantee it." ”

Chen Zikun hid not far away and eavesdropped on their conversation clearly.

The two girls walked around the temple fair for a while, having a lot of fun, and when they were about to go home, Chen Zikun appeared in time with a foreign car.

"Two young ladies, go back."

"You came just in time, send me to the Shuncheng County Mansion first, and then send your young lady home." Wang Yueqi said this with a sense of pride.

On the streets of the first day of the Lunar New Year, there were few cars and horses, Chen Zikun threw off his two legs and ran violently, all the way to the county king's mansion, this face is really magnificent. The gate of the three bays, there are three bays on the left and right, forming the main gate adjacent to the nine rooms, the momentum is magnificent, the two stone lions at the door are even more hideous, majestic, but the most bullish is still standing on both sides of the gate of the eight guards, a water of blue-gray military uniform, leather bullets with box guns, waist pole straight.

A large open space in front of the palace was full of cars, carriages, and foreign cars, and there was a row of coachmen squatting in the sun at the base of the wall.

The prince of Shuncheng County lived not the prince of the former Qing Dynasty, but the hot deputy minister of the Ministry of War of the Beiyang government, General Xu Shuxuan, Xu Tingge was his nephew, and Wang Yueqi came to find Senior Xu.

"I'll do it here, Lin Wenjing, you go back first." Wang Yueqi got out of the car and said goodbye to Lin Wenjing.

"Well, goodbye, there's good news to inform me." Lin Wenjing went away in a foreign car, and Wang Yueqi came to the gate of Xu's mansion, which made it rumored that he wanted to find Young Master Xu.

The housekeeper of the Xu Mansion saw that it was a female college student who came to find the nephew and young master, and he didn't dare to slack off and hurry up, so Xu Tingge didn't make much effort to come out to greet him, invited Wang Yueqi in, and asked as he walked: "Hey, what about the female classmate who is inseparable from you?" ”

"You said Lin Wenjing, she has something." Wang Yueqi said.

"Oh, what are you doing here? Wang Yueqi. Xu Tingge was a little absent-minded.

"Senior Xu, the Six Nations Hotel is going to have a fireworks party, I'm ...... Lin Wenjing and I both want to go, can you help us find two invitations? Wang Yueqi said.

"It's hard to do, my uncle's aunts and wives want to go, and the invitations are not enough at all, but there are some tickets to watch the fireworks." Xu Tingge said and took out two tickets.

"With this, you can enter Dongjiaomin Lane, except that you can't enter the restaurant and dance hall of the Six Nations Hotel, which is similar to an invitation."

Wang Yueqi took the ticket and said, "Thank you, senior, I'm leaving." ”

"Leave without tea, wait, it's not good to call a taxi now, I'll let Xu Er send you."

Xu Tingge stopped a servant and asked him to call Xu Er over and get out of the car to send Wang Yueqi home.

Xu Er was working hard in the concierge to read a primary school textbook, and when he heard the young master's greeting, he hurriedly pulled the car to send Miss Wang away, Wang Yueqi did not go home directly, but went to the Lin Mansion first.

At this time, Lin Wenjing had already returned home, fortunately Aunt Mi and her father did not come back, no one found out that she had sneaked out to play, and when she saw Wang Yueqi coming so soon, she suddenly showed joy: "I got the invitation so soon?" ”

"How can it be so easy, dignitaries can't grab it, and they can't even get tickets to watch the fireworks." Wang Yueqi sighed.

"Oh, nothing." Lin Wenjing instead appeased Wang Yueqi.

After chatting for a while, Wang Yueqi said goodbye and left, Lin Wenjing sat at the table, opened the chicken heart box on the necklace, looked at the photo of her mother and muttered: "Mom, I really want to see the fireworks." ”

……

In the evening, Xiao Shunzi returned to the Ziguang Depot after work and was about to go back to the house to sleep, but saw Chen Zikun sitting on the Taishi chair in the main room beckoning to him.

"Big Kunzi, what's the matter?" Xiao Shunzi hurriedly went over and asked.

"Close the door." Chen Zikun said solemnly.

Xiao Shunzi hurriedly closed the door, pulled a chair and sat down, and said cautiously: "Da Kunzi, what are you doing, don't scare me." ”

"Yaoting, are we good brothers?"

Xiao Shunzi also became serious: "We are a lifelong friendship!" ”

"Okay, I have one thing now, only you can help, do you help?"

Xiao Shunzi's heart turned upside down, Da Kunzi is so serious, could it be that he caused a lawsuit outside and needed to find someone to convict?

"Da Kunzi, I am willing to help you, and my sister will entrust you to take care of it." Xiao Shunzi said bitterly.

Chen Zikun was baffled by him: "What are you talking about, I just want to ask you to get two invitations to the fireworks show of the Six Nations Hotel." ”

Xiao Shunzi let out a sigh: "I was almost scared to death by you, I thought it was ......"

But after thinking about it, his face elongated again: "Da Kunzi, my good brother, you are more difficult than my life, this banquet is set up by the envoys of various countries through the venue of the Six Nations Hotel, and the invitation is either diplomatic envoys or dignitaries, I am a small messenger in the cloakroom of a hotel, and I can't get an invitation if you skin it alive." ”

Chen Zikun pondered for a moment, feeling that Xiao Shunzi's words were very reasonable, and he was a little embarrassed.

Xiao Shunzi rolled his eyes and said, "Are you confused, what I said yesterday was a ticket to watch the fireworks, not an invitation, if you want a ticket, I can get one or two." ”

Chen Zikun said: "It's okay to have a ticket, I want it now." ”

Xiao Shunzi really took out an admission ticket from his arms, "This is given to you first, in fact, you don't need a ticket, it's my buddy who guards the door, and I can bring you in when the time comes."

"You're a good bastard." Chen Zikun praised casually.

Xiao Shunzi danced with his eyebrows: "Of course, my eyes are alive, my mouth is sweet, who doesn't buy my face, the one who guards the door is my little brother, the eldest sister in the laundry room throws me flattery all day long, and it is even more trivial to get some leftovers in the kitchen." ”

"Hehe, that's good." Chen Zikun praised him meaningfully.

……

Early the next morning, Lin Wenjing woke up from her sleep, and when she was sitting at the table in a daze and combing her hair, she suddenly saw a pink note on the table, and picked it up to see that it was the ticket for the fireworks show of the Six Nations Hotel!

"Mom, did you hear your daughter's prayer?" Lin Wenjing opened the chicken heart box on the necklace again, and wept happily at the photo of her mother.

With the ticket, I had to ask my father for leave, after dressing up, I came to the main room carefully, the family sat at the table for breakfast, Mrs. said that there was a card game in the evening, and I wanted to play eight rounds with Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Li, and my father was eating while reading the newspaper, and said casually: "Don't come back too late, I also have a party at night, Mama Lin, you only need to be a lady alone when you cook." ”

He said to his daughter again: "Don't go anywhere at night, honestly study at home, and when the time comes, you will not be able to pass the entrance examination to Peking University, only you ask." ”

Lin Wenjing didn't dare to mention it now, buried herself in eating, and quietly sorted out her clothes after eating, she only had two winter coats, one blue and one white, thinking about it, she was still going to wear that Yin Dan Shilin blue, and then a long white scarf, the best effect.

I took out my shoes from under the bed, carefully wiped them with a muslin cloth, poured another glass of water, dipped my comb in water and combed my hair, and finally took out my wallet, counted my belongings, and spent two dimes a month, which I had accumulated for half a year, and there was a huge amount of more than one dollar.

Finally waited for the afternoon, Mrs. took Wenlong to the card game, Mr. also drank with his colleagues, Lin Wenjing dressed neatly, sneaked out of the house quietly with the admission ticket, and saw the familiar figure at the mouth of the alley, and immediately said happily: "Uncle, hurry up, Six Nations Hotel." ”

"Okay." Chen Zikun pulled up the car and left, today he is still a capable short fight, green cloth cotton jacket, crotch pants, leg straps, an old cotton hat on his head, a pair of leather shoes under his feet, pulling the car and walking briskly on the street, everyone praises it, this coachman is really neat.

Coming to Dongjiaomin Alley, today's embassy area is particularly lively, with lights everywhere, foreigners following the customs of the country, celebrating the New Year according to the rules of the Chinese, and the foreign soldiers on patrol are also wearing mighty dresses, leather boots and bayonets, and there are well-dressed Chinese and foreign guests everywhere, laughing and laughing.

Lin Wenjing got out of the car, gave Chen Zikun a son, and went happily with the admission ticket.

Chen Zikun put the foreign car away and entered the Six Nations Hotel through the side door, but a Chinese guard stopped him: "What are you doing?" ”

"Dude, I'm Li Yaoting's eldest brother." Chen Zikun said with a smile, handing over a cigarette roll and three forts.

"Dude, wait, I'll call him over." The guard immediately became pleasant and didn't make much effort to find Xiao Shunzi.

Chen Zikun pulled Xiao Shunzi aside and whispered a few words, Xiao Shunzi's face changed: "Brother, you give me a problem." ”
