Chapter 229: Linglong
Qing Yu took out the powder box and touched up her makeup, "Most of the passengers on this ship are on the ship in Shanghai. ”
"Hello, afternoon tea." There was a few knocks on the door of the box, and it was the delivery staff.
Qing Yu made up her lips and opened the door radiantly, "Okay, thank you." ”
The waiter came in with a dining cart and placed a set of ladies on the table.
The ladies have three tiers, each with delicate pastries.
By the way, he poured a cup of steaming black tea for each of them, and made a gesture of invitation with his white-gloved hands, "Two VIPs, please." ”
"We'll eat in a moment." Qing Yu smiled at him.
His soul was almost taken away, "There is a casino on the third floor of the passenger ship, and the two of you can go up and have a look if you need to." ”
"Look at your hands, they are also a pair of skillful hands." Qing Yu pointed out.
The waiter said politely: "Miss, when I don't deliver food, I still work part-time as a dealer upstairs." ”
"The gentleman's fingers are so slender, presumably the way he deals the cards must be very handsome." Qing Yu praised.
The service staff gave a European-style aristocratic salute, "Miss praised it, please use it slowly." ”
After saying that, he pushed the food cart and went out.
"This is a butterfly cake, I read it in a magazine." Wanxi looked at the delicate European-style desserts, and also felt fresh.
Get up and pick up a piece and admire it closely.
Qing Yu took the butterfly crisp and put it back on the plate, "It's better not to eat the things on the boat." ”
"You're worried about someone poisoning?" Wanxi asked.
Qingyu said: "It's always good to be careful. ”
"If we don't eat what is on the ship, what will we eat?" After Wanxi married into the Wu Mansion, she also learned to be cautious in everything.
She didn't plan to eat the food sent by the waiter, but she was worried that she would go hungry all the way to Makushu.
Qing Yu opened the kraft paper and took out a tea egg from it and gave it to her, "If you don't think it's enough, I still have a small cage here, and there should be some residual warmth." ”
"Why are there so many tea eggs?!" Wanxi stole a glance at the brown paper bag and was taken aback.
There are thirty or forty tea eggs in it, and I can't eat them all because of the large quantities.
Qingyu smiled: "I bought their tea eggs and buns at the tea stall on the dock. ”
"You're so thoughtful." Wanxi wasn't too hungry and didn't peel the tea eggs to eat.
It's just that the residual temperature on it makes her very comfortable, so she keeps holding it in her hand.
After a few hours of lunch break in the box, I woke up and it was dusk.
Qing Yu was flipping through the magazine, her soft eyes half-squinted.
The long scar on the palm clings ugly, and a child's little head pokes out of the scar and looks curiously.
The eyes are very bright, faintly bloodthirsty red.
Seeing Wanxi's worried gaze after waking up, her little head retracted nervously.
Qing Yu touched the child's head with her hand, "Don't be afraid, she won't hurt you." ”
"Her spiritual power is so strong." The child looked at Wanxi in fear.
Hegu suddenly appeared in a red wedding dress, "Of course, she is my master." ”
"Huh? You are the river girl who is soaked in the Yellow River. The child knew Hegu and was quite surprised to see her.
Aunt Hegu was a little angry, and crossed her hands on her hips, "You're just soaked, you stinky little ghost, believe it or not, Aunt Ben will clean you up." ”
"I don't know women like me." The little ghost was obviously afraid of her, but he was very arrogant.
retracted into Qing Yu's palm, and after a while, he poked his head out again, and looked at Qing Yu pitifully: "Mother, I'm hungry." ”
Mother......
Wanxi's heart froze, thinking to herself, did Qingyu look like a mother at a young age?
Qing Yu is very accustomed to calling it, "There is food and drink on the table." ”
"I'm going to eat too, and I'm going to drink too." Hegu has to join in the fun.
The two ghosts glanced at each other hostilely, and came to the cold black tea one after another.
Bending over and sucking desperately, the black tea is not missing at all.
It's just that the color has changed and it has become transparent.
Hegu burped and quickly grabbed the butterfly crisp, "Eat very fast." ”
"You're not bad, Aunt He." The child also went to grab the dessert on the plate.
The two of them raced against time to eat, and soon ate all the snacks on the plate.
In the eyes of each other, no one is convinced.
Looking at the three-layer lady plate, the snacks in it are still there.
I don't know what the two little ghosts ate when they were so competitive just now.
The delivery attendant came again, "Excuse me, dinner." ”
"Come in, the door is not locked." Qing Yu finally closed the magazine.
The name of the magazine is Linglong, and it is only distributed in Shanghai.
Wanxi only glanced at it, and knew when she had just fallen asleep.
Qing Yu must have bought magazines on the ship, or something else.
The waiter came in with a food cart and collected the refreshments that had been delivered in the afternoon, "Why haven't these refreshments moved at all?" Doesn't it suit the tastes of the two? ”
"I ate at home at noon." Wanxi said softly.
The waiter nodded, and went to collect the teacup again, "Why has the color of the black tea changed?" ”
"After drinking, I got some boiling water that I brought with me." Tactful and easy to deal with.
Dinner is served with wine and steak, after being served.
The waiter also lit the candles on the candlesticks to create a romantic atmosphere, "Please eat." ”
"Okay, thanks." Wanxi nodded.
The waiter came out of the box, and before closing the door, he asked again, "Why didn't the two young ladies come to the casino in the afternoon?" ”
"Some of them were tired, so they slept." Said gracefully.
The waiter bowed and closed the door, "Then I look forward to the two of you tonight." ”
"Don't be afraid, he didn't mean anything bad when he invited us to the casino." Qing Yu saw Wanxi's suspicious eyes and yawned.
Wanxi asked, "How do you know that he has no malicious intent?" ”
"This lustful man has fallen for her little ghost's tricks, and he just wants to be courteous to her." He Gu said with a stiff neck.
Normal living people can't pose this pose at all, and it looks as scary as a broken neck bone.
Qing Yu sniffed the wine and poured all the wine in the goblet into the flower pot on the windowsill, "It's a pity that such a good wine, the big boss of this ship is really rich." ”
"That's not cheap." Wanxi looked at the ticket that had been torn off the ticket stub, and it said 120 yuan.
Before getting on the boat, I didn't understand why it would be so expensive to take a passenger ship.
Now she understands that the ticket is really worth the price.
The steak could not be disposed of in a pot, so it was simply wrapped in brown paper.
Tie it tightly with a fine hemp rope, and take advantage of the twilight.
He threw it into the turbulent river and disappeared in an instant.
After Qing Yu threw it away, he clapped his hands, "I want to be wronged by the master like me, eating cold soup dumplings and cold tea eggs." ”
"You've been holding it in your arms, will it be cold?" Wanxi teased her, and there was a little touch in her heart.
The two of them sat and ate tea eggs and small cages, and there was still warm tea.
It's also relishing, Qingyu still tells Wanxi interesting things about Jinling from time to time, which makes Wanxi laugh constantly.
Before she knew it, it was already late at night, and Qingyu yawned.
Wanxi saw that she was really tired, and said, "You can sleep for a while." ”
"I'm going to Youzhou soon, I'm not at ease." She really cares about Wanxi's safety, and she has a safe journey to Makushu.
If she brings Wanxi back safely, she can always follow Wu Lingheng's side.
Otherwise, all the efforts will be in vain.
Wanxi gently persuaded: "Now that you are tired, we can take turns to wake up." ”
"Yes, I'm confused." Qingyu wiped her hands and slept against the edge of the window.
Wanxi put her coat over her, and she looked at her half-open, "I'm bored, you can take a magazine." ”
"Okay." Wanxi responded.
She closed her eyes and fell asleep in an instant.
The boat staggered forward in the night, and the sound of running water was as cold and cold.
The moon was hidden behind a thin dark cloud, and its light was very dim.
There were no stars in the sky, and it was a quiet and dark night.
Flipping through the magazine and casually scanning, she knew Qingyu's intentions.
This is really bold, and there are many titles in the directory for gender relations, "The Degradation of Men", "Why Buy Yin?" "How to be a new woman" and "How to become a big star in the first girl of the Moon Palace"......
The woman in the illustration is even more amorous, making people remember her appearance deeply at a glance.
"The women in Shanghai are really fashionable." She wasn't envious, she just felt that something outside her vision was really new.
The cover girl looked at her name, and she was Miss Bai Manli, the top brand of the "Moon Palace" song and dance hall.
A cabaret lady actually had a feeling of being full of light, and she was holding a man in her hand.
Because of the limited size of the cover, the man only showed a blue military uniform.
The rank on the military uniform was carefully counted, it was an extremely high level, and it looked like Duan Jiajun's, could it be......
It's him, right?
Thinking of this, a light appeared on the shore in the dark waters.
The dotted lights of thousands of homes suddenly give people a warm feeling in this cold night.
The lights fell in the water, and the shadows were like fireflies in the sky.
The "Makuhu" shook a few times and slowly stopped.
At the moment of stopping, Qing Yu immediately opened his eyes, "Have you arrived in Youzhou?" ”
"I didn't get to Youzhou Wharf." Wanxi didn't know if she had arrived in Youzhou, only that the boat was parked in the center.
Subsequently, attendants knocked on the door one by one to inform that the passenger ship was temporarily overhauled.
Qingyu frowned, "It's almost here, and it's still a temporary overhaul." ”
"Could something go wrong?" Wanxi asked.
Someone passed by the hallway outside the window, half-crouched down and smiled at her.
There were still a few black chips thrown up and down in his hands, and he asked them in Shanghainese, "Do the two young ladies play two games?" These three chips were given to you by Jin Dashuai. ”
"Kim Dashuai?" Wanxi didn't believe it.
The man put the chips on the windowsill and said, "When Jin Dashuai heard that you were on this ship, he called the ferry yesterday and asked you to eat and have fun." ”
"That'...... Thank you for me. Wanxi took the chips and held them in her hands.
The man did not linger long, but walked away.
Qing Yu sighed and stood up, "It seems that I really don't want to go out when I go to the casino." ”
"Are you really going to the casino?" Wanxi always felt that there was fraud, and the people who came from the Jin warlord were too abrupt.
Qing Yu hid the food and luggage she brought under the bed, "You bring Aunt He, I leave my little ghosts, are you still afraid of them?" Jin Shijie's face should not be easily refuted. ”
"You're right." Wanxi picked up the brown paper bag wrapped in Hegu and stuffed a few chips into the pocket of her trench coat.
Qing Yu gestured at her and wanted to pull her up, "Let's go gamble, just lose all these chips." ”
