Chapter 1: The Banquet (2)
When the car drove into Nanhu Road, which led to Huiren's official residence, there was a sentry check. It was the first time that Qing Qian had seen so many heavily armed guards with military and police solemnity. After all, I had never seen such a battle, and even if I thought I was bold, I couldn't help but sit up.
Deliver the invitation to the banquet and enter the Huiren Mansion unimpeded. It's not the first time I've come to Nanhu, but I don't know that there is such a good scenery near Nanhu.
The oil road is close to the lake, and the afterglow of the setting sun falls on the surface of the lake, and the lake water shines like gold, brilliant and quiet. It is the summer season, and the green leaves of the maple trees on the roadside overlap repeatedly, echoing the red glow on the horizon. There are some hibiscus trees and green branches, which are very eye-catching.
Qing Qian looked at the beautiful scenery in front of him and couldn't help sighing. Half a month ago, who would have thought that he would be able to get acquainted with the daughter of Luo Rongkai, the commander-in-chief of the south.
Half a month ago, Qing Qian returned late because of school business. Walking to Qingpu Road near his home, he bumped into a nearby hooligan ruffian who was flirting with a woman dressed as a student. In front of his house, he went over and reasoned with those little hooligans. It is estimated that the little rascal was intimidated by the shallow momentum, and dispersed after a few words of scolding.
Qing Qian looked at the drunken female student in front of him, and he didn't know what to do. No, Luo Chuanhua, who I hadn't seen for a long time, actually appeared. However, the female student who was saved by himself for a while turned out to be Luo Chuanhua's sister.
has had a crush on Luo Chuanhua for several years, and has imagined the scene of the two meeting countless times. Luo Chuanhua graduated, but he thought that he would never meet again, but he didn't want to meet again. Thinking of Luo Wanhua and Luo Chuanhua, Qing Qian frowned lightly and smiled slightly bitterly. In the end, how can I understand the lives of those people.
Although it was a small farewell party, there were still a lot of people who came. Like my father, it is not uncommon for people to make friends with warlord officialdom, but there are only a few. After all, even if you can't get to know Commander-in-Chief Luo, it's good to be able to get close to the son of the Luo family. Moreover, it is rumored that this son is very kind.
Qing Qian actually doesn't like such an occasion, but because it was Luo Chuanhua's invitation, it was the last side. In a few days, Luo Chuanhua will go abroad to study, but he still has to come. Sitting in the corner with Wanhua eating dessert and chatting, Luo Chuanhua stood on the red carpet and said some etiquette Xing words as the opening, and the dance began.
The arrangement of the party is not luxurious, but the dim sum is extremely delicate and delicious, and I ate two plates in a row. was thinking about whether to eat this third plate, Luo Chuanhua and his party came over, three suave sons - Luo Chuanhua, the son of Luo Rongkai, the commander-in-chief of Jinyuan, the protagonist tonight; Qi Huo, the eldest son of the Qi family, the "No. 1 merchant in Jinyuan" - these two are known to each other, but the one standing on the right is the first time I have seen him.
The man was dressed in a military uniform, with a clear silhouette and an excellent bearing. Although he is also standing in a group of people at will, he has a different temperament. It's like, as long as he stands there, no matter how many people there are, it's hard to be ignored. Naturally it is a kind of coldness.
This uniformed officer must be a man not to be underestimated. 'Shallow and calculating.
"Hello Miss Yan, let me introduce you, these two are Major Qi Huoqi and Major He in wet clothes." Because of Wanhua's relationship, Luo Chuanhua is always very thoughtful to Qingqian, but this thoughtfulness is what Qingqian doesn't want.
"Major Qi is good, Major He is good." Qing Qian put down the small plate in his hand and shook hands with the two opposite.
"Hello Miss Yan." He Shiyi's hands are very warm, Xu is the reason why he has been holding a gun all year round, and it feels a little rough.
How to describe the look in the look of the man in uniform opposite? Confused? Explore? ……
For a moment, Qing Qian had the illusion that the way he looked at himself was special.
However, this is the first time the two have met!
Just as the music sounded, He Shiyi let go of his shallow hand and bowed slightly; "It's an honor to ask Miss Yan to dance."
Qing Qian learned to dance in school, although he rarely attended such banquets. But he was also generous, raised his hand slightly, and said with a light smile: "It's an honor." ”
Soothing music resounded in the hall, and the men and women at the dinner party stepped onto the dance floor. The crystal lamp hanging above the head is brilliant and glazed. A soft golden light illuminates the hall and shines on the dancers.
"Miss Yan, Ling Zun, but Mr. Yan Ye Zhengyan?"
"It's my father." Qingqian, but I don't know when my father's reputation has been pushed into the army.
I have a friend who was rescued by Ling Zun, and he has never forgotten Ling Zun's kindness and wants to thank him in person. Qing Qian looked up, and the bright light fell right on the top of He Weiyi's head. Under the streamer, the young lieutenant's face was handsome and distinct, and his expression was sincere.
"Really?" Qingqian pursed his lips and smiled. My father practiced medicine for several years, and when he encountered illness, disability and weakness, he would always come to the rescue. He Shiyi said this, but he didn't think it was novel. It's just that this Major He has friends like Luo Chuanhua and Qi Huo, what kind of person is the friend who was rescued by his father?
"It's just that he's not in Jinyuan now." He had an apologetic smile on his face.
"The heart of the doctor's parents, the father just abides by his duty. Please don't worry about that friend of yours. ”
"Miss Yan is too modest. Miss Yan and Chuanhua have known each other for a long time? He Shiyi stopped talking about his friend's affairs.
"Mr. Luo is my senior, Miss Luo I met half a month ago." Qing Qian didn't want to explain too much to the officer in front of him, and his acquaintance with the Luo family brothers and sisters had to pass by.
"Oh." He wet clothes have an understanding.
Qing Qian didn't know what he understood.
Across the dark night, south of Jinyuan City is where the twin office buildings of the military department are located. The twin buildings of the military headquarters at night always give people a sense of silence and tranquility.
At this moment, it echoes the bright lights of Hyeren's official residence.
In the corridor, the orange light flashed a faint halo, and the wind blew, and the lights swayed. Gu Xiyan, the secretariat, carefully checked the important documents before putting them in the safe, and then locked them in the safe. Turn off the office lights and solemnly lock the door before slowly walking out of the building.
Gu Xiyan had already left the building, stood at the steps and stopped slightly, and glanced back at the office building. The building behind him was quiet, and it became thicker and more solid in the night. Gu Xiyan carefully recalled the details of the work to see if there was anything missing, and then shook his head with a wry smile: "The secretary has been doing it for a long time, and he has become more and more suspicious. ”
As the night gets darker, unknown insects chirp softly in the flower beds. The moonlight sprinkled on the courtyard like silver, and the breeze was gentle. In Jinyuan City, it has been rainy for several days, and it is rare to have such a cool night.
Looking at the tall guards standing at the gate, Gu Xiyan dispelled the idea of going back to check.
