41. A weird smile

Yandu is a suburb to the east, Lujiahezi Town, Lutong District, more than 20 years ago, it was still a rural style of Lianqian Timo, brick houses and tile houses, chickens and dogs. With the process of rural urbanization, wheat fields and corn fields 20 years ago have been gradually replaced by various factories, office buildings, office buildings, and residential areas. The kind of wind blowing wheat waves under the blue sky, the pleasant scenery of spring green and summer yellow, has long become the memory of the aborigines here. After more than ten years of development, the aborigines here have become a group of people who have become rich first, just like the people in other developed areas of Yandu. The generous compensation for relocation turned their courtyard houses and homesteads into huge Chinese dollars that they could never have dreamed of. In the face of huge interests, it is also indispensable for relatives to become strangers, and enemies are familiar at first sight. Of the ordinary people who have a lot of money in their hands, only a very small number of them have become rich, and many more are sitting on empty shoes, and those who spend extravagantly end up becoming unemployed vagrants, and eventually become migrant workers with urban hukou.

And how much has it contributed to the national economy by attracting investment, building factories and buying real estate in the development zone, and looking prosperous from the outside? Perhaps only the finances at all levels know. More than ten years ago, several large-scale chemical enterprises settled in, and the town was swept to welcome each other, which was the God of Wealth. But in the past few years, with the white smoke billowing in the chimneys of these enterprises, everyone has found that there are more foggy days, less sunny days, and the air is a little choking, but in the face of economic benefits, some sacrifices are also necessary. Until 6 or 7 years ago, ** began to pay attention to environmental pollution, if these enterprises do not increase environmental protection facilities, strict control of emissions either shut down or go! It's only slowly 3 years later, there are more sunny days, and the air is not so choking.

At the foot of Lu Ji Mountain, 20 kilometers northeast of Lujiahezi Town, there is a courtyard house that is south and north and four in and out, which covers an area of nearly 3,000 square meters, which is neither tall and majestic, nor gorgeous and exquisite. It is a green tile and red brick, gray ground and red columns, and simple. There are more than 30 main rooms, wing rooms, ear rooms, inverted seats, and rear rooms. The main house is in the second courtyard, and the outer courtyard, the inner courtyard and the third courtyard, the area of the three courtyards together is more than 1,500 square meters. This is Lu Zhengyuan's hometown, the Lu family in a martial arts family.

At this time, on the national highway leading to Lujishan in Lujiahezi Development Zone, an Infiniti QX80 was speeding away. The driver was a woman, whose name was Tian Yarong. 50-year-old Tian Yarong is the director of a large Sino-Japanese joint venture private hospital, although he is half a hundred years old, but the charm still exists, and she is at most in her thirties when she doesn't know about her figure, and she is the kind of extremely beautiful woman in her thirties. Tian Yarong is now driving to the Lu family, because today is the death day of her mother Tian Fengyu, and she is the wife of Lu Jishan, the first martial arts master recognized in the circle in the Mingguan Chinese martial arts world.

Tian Yarong's mother's surname, who her father was, Tian Fengyu didn't tell her until she died, whenever she asked, her mother's attitude became cold, and sternly warned her not to ask again in the future. Her mother was 43 years old when she gave birth to her, according to Tian Fengyu: When she was 3 years old, she fled with her all the way from the northwest to Yandu, and was finally taken in by Lu Zhengang, the old man of the Lu family. Because his mother was proficient in medical skills, he became a resident doctor in the Lu family. The Lu family is a well-known top family in the Chinese martial arts world, and there are many admirers who come to learn martial arts. And those who can live in the Lu family are all inner disciples, and they usually practice martial arts, and they will inevitably get injured. Old Man Lu took them in, firstly, with a good heart, and secondly, he took a fancy to Tian Fengyu's medical skills. Lu Zhengang took great care of their mother, because he had five sons but failed to have a daughter, so he began to regard Tian Yarong as his own daughter. When Tian Yarong became an adult, he was bright and bright-eyed, slim and slim. Old man Lu also has a heart to be close to the water and take her as a daughter-in-law. At that time, among the five brothers of the Lu family, the most outstanding was none other than the second eldest Lu Jishan. Although Lu Jishan was born burly and powerful, he was very handsome, and he was smart-witted, delicate, and pleasing to people.

In fact, Mr. Lu also has a brother Lu Zhenyuan, but he died in Qinghai when he was young, and he didn't even leave an heir. Fortunately, the inheritance of the Lu family is spreading here in Lu Zhengang, and Lu Zhengang died of a sudden illness 23 years ago, and Tian Fengyu also died 9 years ago. The five brothers who are now in charge of the Lu family are in the prime of life. After the market was opened, the Lu family's industry also developed very well, with various martial arts schools, security companies, and private training institutions, which can be described as a lot of income. Tian Yarong was intoxicated by his mother and obsessed with medicine since he was a child, and before marrying Lu Jishan, he had graduated from Yandu Medical University and became a trainee doctor, specializing in neurology. She was diligent and studious, studied hard, cured many incurable diseases in more than ten years, and gradually became famous in the medical field, but she still couldn't stand the backwardness of the system, abided by the old rules, ranked seniority, and finally broke away from the system and applied to become the president of a private hospital.

Lu Jishan is waiting for his wife to come back at the moment, and in order to make it easier for Tian Yarong to go to work, the two bought a property in the city. And Lu Jishan usually practices martial arts in his hometown, except for weekends, as long as Lu Jishan is free, he goes to the city to meet his wife. To say that Lu Jishan is extremely fond of Tian Yarong, the two are also childhood sweethearts, although he is 5 years older than his wife, but since Tian Yarong became an adult, he thought that she was the love of his life. Over the years, the husband and wife have lived and flown together, raised their eyebrows, and never even blushed, and they have accommodating and tolerating each other in the event of disputes. At this time, Lu Jishan was fiddling with an iron box, and when he heard the sound of cars outside the courtyard, he knew that his wife was back, so he hurriedly put down the box and ran out to greet his wife. When he saw his wife get out of the car, he walked towards him with a dignified manner, and immediately greeted him with joy on his face.

"Wait a minute, Jishan, I'm sorry, there is a traffic jam on the road." Tian Yarong said softly. Two men went into the courtyard arm-in-arm. Lu Jishan understands Tian Yarong's character, is gentle and virtuous in life, and meticulous in work.

"No, let's go now, we can arrive before noon, after worshipping our mother, let's eat some food in the temple, today is also Friday, let's go back together in the afternoon, we can be together for these two days" Although Lu Jishan is tall and burly, he has always spoken softly to his wife. Tian Yarong heard him say this, and there was actually a trace of shyness on his face. The two came to the room, Tian Yarong was about to go into the inner room to change into casual clothes, but at a glance he saw the iron box on the table, "You are fiddling with this box again!" Tian Yarong said casually, and at this time, Lu Jishan had a trace of nervousness flashing on his face, "Yes!" Our mother left this box and don't know what's inside, and can't open it by exhausting all means, if it is hard to open it with fire welding, and I'm afraid that there are some valuable items in it that will burn out together, and my mother has never told you what is in it? Lu Jishan asked.

"Brother Shan, how many times have you asked me, if I knew, would I still be able to bother you here? I asked my mom when I was a child, and she just wouldn't tell me, just said that maybe she would never be able to open it, and wouldn't let me ask more! I always felt that if I wanted to open it, it had something to do with these little holes on the side of it. Tian Yarong had already changed into casual clothes and travel shoes, and came out of the inner room and pointed to the box.

"Hey! It's been so many years, let's study it again if I have time, go back and ask Shengyuan, what new weapons and new technologies does the military have, which can open it without hurting the things inside, let's go! Lu Jishan put the iron box into the cabinet and walked out of the room with his wife in his arms.

The so-called feast is difficult to repeat, gather less and leave more, Qiu Sihai and their table banquet is also very late before the wine is dispersed. The wedding date was still set during the banquet, which was set on the weekend of Zheng Shuang's first week of school, mainly to avoid the long holiday. It seems that a week is a lot, but for Liu Zhenjiang, it also needs to be in full swing. Although the old couple of the Zheng family are in good spirits on happy occasions, they are also a little tired after a long time, and Liu Zhenjiang arranged for the car to go home separately.

The next day, Qiu Sihai still got up early regularly, and Zheng Shuang definitely couldn't get up for a while, because Zheng Shuang was so tired last night that he made an appointment to take wedding photos at 10 o'clock, and Zheng Shuang didn't get up until about 9 o'clock. The two cleaned up early after eating, said a word to their parents and went out. Because the distance was less than one stop, the two walked hand in hand.

When she arrived at the photo studio and was received by the waiter, Zheng Shuang found that she really didn't choose the wrong one, the photographic equipment and photographers were very professional, and the dazzling array of wedding dresses and dresses made them a little dizzying. When Zheng Shuang made an appointment, he knew that the price of this photo studio was slightly higher, but now it seems that it is worth the money, the service staff is patient and thoughtful, and the makeup artist is also very professional, and what makes Zheng Shuang even happier is that wedding dresses are also available for rent here, and promises that the wedding dresses rented each time are dry cleaned, disinfected, ironed and dried, and there will be absolutely no worries about moisture and bacteria, but the price is also slightly expensive, and both of them can accept it.

Everything is negotiated, let Zheng Shuang choose the wedding dress first, and Qiu Sihai choose the dress. Men are quick to choose clothes, and then they are waiting to admire the beautiful bride. Although it is a reservation system, since it is a Saturday and a long holiday is approaching, there are still several couples trying on clothes in the fitting hall. When the curtain of Zheng Shuang's fitting room was opened, and under the backdrop of a white off-the-shoulder wedding dress, Zheng Shuang, who was fairy-looking and jade-looking, floated out, and everyone in the hall was attracted to it. The slightly shy Zheng Shuang's face is like a peach blossom, his real character is Chu Chu moving, the surrounding guests and service staff, looking mediocre in appearance, wearing ordinary Qiu Sihai, I really don't know how this passer-by-like middle-aged man, how can He De get the favor of this fairy in the world, Qiu Sihai is also distracted.

The clothes have been chosen, and the two of them go to put on makeup. Qiu Sihai is still a little resistant to makeup, but in order to take pictures, he can only reluctantly make it difficult, he first changes into a dress and then sits outside the dressing room to wait, because there are fewer makeup artists for men than women, so it takes a longer time, maybe the guest in front of Qiu Sihai may also be more demanding, and waited for 30 minutes before coming out, at this time Zheng Shuang has finished putting on makeup, and she is more bright and moving after putting on makeup, Zheng Shuang came to accompany Qiu Sihai to make up together, Qiu Sihai sat in front of the mirror, looking at Zheng Shuang with a wry smile. Zheng Shuang touched his head to show encouragement, she understood that Qiu Sihai would be a little disgusted with makeup. But when she saw that Qiu Sihai had already shown a handsome aura after putting on the dress, she wanted to see how he looked after putting on makeup.

Today's men's skincare products are changing with each passing day and are effective. The makeup artist saw that Qiu Sihai's facial skin was a little dull and rough, so he first gave him an exfoliating whitening mask, and after removing the mask after ten minutes, various essences, moisturizing whitening creams, and brightening lotions were applied to his face one after another. Qiu Sihai kept his eyes closed and let him do what he wanted. After the makeup artist finished cooking, Qiu Sihai opened his eyes and looked at his fair face, which did look much younger. And Zheng Shuang was full of surprise when he saw him now. At this moment, Qiu Sihai's soft facial features were originally coordinated, and against the backdrop of the skin that had become smooth and smooth, he highlighted a compelling heroic spirit, those calm and deep eyes, exuding an indescribable charm, Zheng Shuang was also a little stunned, it turned out that this guy was so handsome, if he was young, he would be pursued by a group of beauties just by his appearance. She was secretly glad in her heart that Qiu Sihai never used skin care products, and to wash her face was to make some soap, and the water was flushed.

When Zheng Shuang was overjoyed here, Qiu Sihai kept staring at his face, but cold sweat slowly oozed from his back. He rarely looked in the mirror for many years, and only had a vague impression of his appearance, but now looking at this face in the mirror, he was inexplicably very familiar. Suddenly! The face in the mirror flashed a smile to himself, it was a sneer, with unruly contempt and extreme coldness, this moment Qiu Sihai's heart was like a hammer, his weird smile in the mirror made his heart tremble, and a stream of coldness emanated from his bones, making him shudder, and he was so frightened that he was about to stand up and run away.
