CHAPTER IX
Zhou Guangxi scolded with a sharp voice: "What not, you just think I give little money, don't think I don't know, as long as you give more money, don't say it's to sing one or two songs, even if you...... it's okay." ”
Zhou Guangxi was about to scold, but was stopped by Zhu Guichao: "Secretary Zhang, congratulations ......." Zhu Guichao deliberately diverted his words and quarreled with him, and the girl ran out with tears in her eyes.
In the next few days, Zhu Guichao always met the girl on the way to the government or back to his residence. At first, although Zhu Guichao recognized her, he always tried his best to avoid it, but every time the girl met him, she always had to sincerely thank her, and thank Zhu Guichao for relieving her that day.
In this way, after going back and forth, the two gradually got to know each other. In Zhu Guichao's view, although Lin Zhifeng is a humble woman who makes a living by singing in the streets and alleys, it is very commendable to be able to take care of herself without succumbing to power and money, so she has a feeling of pity and cherishment. Who knew that this girl seemed to be able to see through Zhu Guichao's thoughts, as long as Zhu Guichao thought of her, she would appear like a shadow in the streets and alleys and talk to Zhu Guichao.
Just a few days ago, Zhu Guichao met Lin Zhifeng on the street again, she was coming out of an alley holding a pipa, a pair of phoenix eyes seemed to be shining with tears, and two thin eyebrows were slightly lame on her forehead, looking pitiful. Zhu Guichao saw that no one was paying attention, so he stepped forward to stop Lin Zhifeng and asked her what happened.
Lin Zhifeng saw that Zhu Guichao was in front of him, so he forced a slight smile on his sad face and said, "Zhu Lang, why do you say that people in this world are ......." Lin Zhifeng choked up a little. Before he finished speaking, he shed two lines of tears.
Zhu Guichao is a kind-hearted scholar, and his heart is about to break when he sees a young and beautiful girl crying in front of him. I can't wait to go and fight for the girl immediately.
Lin Zhifeng was silent, lowered his head and walked forward with the piano in his arms, Zhu Guichao didn't know what to do, and followed silently behind a few steps away. When he arrived at an alley, Lin Zhifeng raised his head and said to Zhu Guichao: "Zhu Lang, thank you for sending me home." If you don't dislike it. Go and sit at home. You are a good person, I always want to find an opportunity to thank you, but I am like this. I'm afraid of causing you trouble. ”
is still the system, students and students are not allowed to have anything to do with the smoke and dust woman, if it is verified, it is very likely that they will be stripped of their status. And this identity is the lifelong hope of every student.
Zhu Guichao was stumped by this euphemistic invitation. Now. His heart boiled like boiling water, and how could he refuse such an invitation from such a girl? In his mind, women should be pure and good, and Zhu Guichao can't force himself to avoid these beautiful things.
This is a dead end, and Lin Zhifeng's home is in a very inconspicuous little red door in the deepest part of the alley.
Ever since Lin Zhifeng came in and closed the door, Zhu Guichao's heart was pounding. He knew that a gentleman should know how to respect himself, and he would avoid the suspicion of being under the melon field. And now he was alone in the same room as a young girl. In case it is going to be known.......
At this moment, Lin Zhifeng opened his mouth and said, "Zhu Lang." Sit down for a moment, and I'll pour you a cup of tea. Saying that, Lin Zhifeng went around behind a screen. Zhu Guichao was left alone in the outhouse, so nervous that he could hear his heartbeat.
"Zhu Lang, please have tea." After a long time, Lin Zhifeng came out from behind with a cup of tea.
Zhu Guichao's word "Xie" stopped on his tongue before he could say anything, and Lin Zhifeng had already changed his outfit.
She combed her hair again, stripped the silver hairpin and the floral ornaments from her bun, loosely tied it in a knot, and fastened it to the back of her head with a bamboo skewer, and a few strands of green silk still hung down from her sideburns; The thin powder on the face and the rouge on the lips were a little brighter, presumably reapplied; The tunic of the placket had been removed, revealing a long, white neck; The scarlet underwear was tightly bound and tall, but it inevitably showed a trace, and a small lake crepe jacket was put on the outside, which was worn openly, and only a button was fastened on the chest.
"Zhu Lang, please have tea." Lin Zhifeng reminded Zhu Guichao.
Zhu Guichao's gaze involuntarily stared at Lin Zhifeng's body for a long time, his cheeks were slightly red, and after being reminded, he realized that he was a little rude, hurriedly took the tea bowl, and took a sip with his head down: "What kind of tea is this?" The taste is weird. ”
"This is my family's ancestral recipe, drinking a cup every day can replenish qi, which contains chrysanthemum root, skullcap, honeysuckle ......." Lin Zhifeng introduced to Zhu Guichao like a few treasures.
Zhu Guichao didn't wait for her to finish, he drank a cup of tea, and suddenly felt moisturized and refreshing in his internal organs.
At this moment, Zhu Guichao suddenly heard footsteps outside the gate, and immediately stood up and said goodbye, but fortunately no one found him.
That night, Zhu Guichao was lying on the bed, licking his lips with his tongue, as if there was still a lingering fragrance, and suddenly recalled Lin Zhifeng's words: "Drinking a cup every day can replenish your energy...... ”
Zhu Guichao suddenly felt that this was her hint to herself. I don't know if it's the aroma of tea or the charm of people, so for two days in a row, Zhu Guichao's feet walked towards the little red door ...... without obeying the call.
Speaking of this, Zhu Guichao's words stopped. Jiang Yansi's eyes looked at his mouth without blinking, paying attention to the development of the story as if listening to a drama.
Zhu Guichao picked up the wine cup and found that it was empty, and slammed it on the ground: "Shame, I don't understand why I am so spineless, I later went to Lin Zhifeng and just sat opposite her, listening to her while drinking tea, or watching her bow her head and be silent." She was also a poor person, but would not say anything but her childhood and her mother. Several times I offered to save a sum of money for her so that she would stop singing with humiliation, but she always shook her head and smiled bitterly, and said that people like her were not worthy of my attention. ”
Jiang Yansi filled his cup with wine and handed it to Zhu Guichao, asking him to moisten his throat.
Zhu Guichao took it and drank it all: "I always feel that I am an otherworldly person." I don't seek fame and fame, I don't covet officialdom, why would I make myself so passive for a woman? Hey, blame me for being too shallow in the world, I really don't know that a woman's heart is like this. ”
Zhu Guichao said and gently placed the empty cup in front of Jiang Yansi.
Jiang Yansi was confused by his last sentence, and wanted to ask what was going on, but he was afraid that he would inadvertently hurt Zhu Guichao.
Zhu Guichao saw Jiang Yansi's thoughts, reached out and took Jiang Yansi's cup, poured it full of wine and poured it into his stomach, and continued: "On the third day, I went to the yamen and met Zhou Guangxi at the gate. (To be continued......)
