Chapter 4: Heroes save beauty, dangers are born

Although it is not a match made in heaven, the love between Hong Zhengkai and Lao Yingyan can finally be understood, they are always infected with the new fashion, wearing Western fashion, stepping on shiny small leather shoes, and chanting a few witty trendy words.

They are all fascinated by the god of beauty to give love, beauty and freedom, just like the insight of Xu Zhimo, the representative poet of the Crescent Society in the same period. Although feelings are accompanied by time, they are not completely cut by time, it is love at first sight, just like Hong Zhengkai to Qiao Xunyi.

"Grandmother, Qiaofu is the pillar of the emerging bourgeoisie, and many people have lived a healthy and happy life through their help, and they have made indelible contributions to the fight against the Qing Dynasty and the eradication of foreigners! Now they are in trouble, we can't stand idly by! ”

"But according to the news, Miss Qiao Er didn't know where we were killed?"

A first-class, clear, soft voice floated in.

She has a pivotal position in Hongfu, controlling the "power of life and death" [employing and retiring] in Hongfu, and is the youngest daughter of Mrs. Hong, ranking thirteenth.

At this time, he finally couldn't hold it anymore and put forward his own opinions to Zheng Kai and everyone.

"Miss Thirteen, don't forget that the Beacon Volcano bandits are rampant, and they love to beat the idea of Juanxiu women the most, first stealing, and then following the vine and touching the melon, stretching their necks to the prey. I've seen it, this is their most common set, maybe Miss Qiao Er was deceived like this; If we want to suppress bandits, we must also join forces with the Lao government. ”

The person who said this was Uncle Wu, who held the important position of housekeeper. Speaking with confidence and calmness, it is his consistent nature; It is his duty to solve problems.

Hong Zhengkai suddenly cast his expected gaze to Lao Yingyi, a delicate beauty, hoping that she could express that she had solved the urgent need of Qiaofu.

There are only a handful of households with huge capital in Shanghai, only two or three.

The labor house is one of them, the gold and silver are as soft as the rolling waves, and the inexhaustible "rolling waves" pour into the labor house. Don't look at how high-spirited this surname is, but this landlord family relies on the sweat of the common people.

It can be seen that the common people hate such a "land snake" to the core.

Flower-like years, extraordinary knowledge. If you have a stubborn spirit. With the wealth accumulated over the years, you can also walk in the "temples, rivers and lakes" with ease.

But Miss Lao doesn't eat this set, Hong Zhengkai is just her climbing the ladder of secular power, to say that the relationship may be a little, but her performance in the next few years is chilling.

Lao Fu will be dragged by her into an unknowable abyss.

Hong Zhengkai was worried, pacing in the hall constantly, looking embarrassed; Others may not know that when he was young, he admired Miss Qiao Er's wisdom for a long time. He had to knock on the "stepping stone" of Lao Yingyi.

"Xiaoying, Qiao, Hong, and Lao have been standing in Shanghai for a hundred years, and the three have traded with each other, and they are still exchanging gifts. This time Qiao's Mansion is in trouble, shouldn't your Mansion come to the rescue? ”

"It's as easy as you say! I would like to ask you, what can the Lao Fu do to help, why, and why can it help? Lao Ying sipped the oolong tea purchased by Hongfu this summer.

"Lao Yingyi, you didn't get it like this when you were young, you have compassion for everything. When others are in trouble, they will never stand idly by, but now? Became so vitriol. You're such a disappointment. ”

"Qiao's mansion is rich in land and resources, so he will naturally save it, why work hard to save it. That's a lot to do. ”

"In the whole of Jiangnan, count your labor and wealth in a huge amount. On weekdays, relying on power to make a fortune, it's just that, and now in this turbulent era, you can still sit still. ”

"Stop arguing; Zheng'er, there is something to discuss; Xiao Ying. 'Saving a life, better than building a seventh-level floating slaughter'. You're so good-natured, you won't sit idly by. ”

"That's not for sure, it depends on Miss Ben's mood. Calling for help from a rival in love is rarely heard. ”

"Zheng Kai, otherwise let's use some silver tickets to redeem Miss Qiao Er, what do you think?"

"Uncle Wu, you are still sophisticated; Well thought out. ”

"But how much do you have to prepare for the specific silver ticket?" Miss Hong 13 was confused, and suddenly felt shy......

It was nearly late at night, and the sound of the stream in the back garden poured into the vegetable garden next to it. Hongfu is now a "farmhouse"; Every time in the middle of summer, the old and the young will go to the summer manor to live a pastime life. Suddenly, a beautiful shadow broke into everyone's field of vision, Hong Zhengkai was overjoyed, this person came too timely.

"Brother Zhengkai, the terrain of the Feng Volcano Sheng Xi has been explored with Mr. Tian, and he can send a cadre of people to the Feng Volcano to suppress the bandits at any time."

This person is Hong Zhengkai's cousin, and this crackdown on bandits played an important role.

"A soldier who surrenders without a fight, a good man who is good. If you directly use your family wealth to rescue Miss Qiao Er, you can not only avoid a head-on conflict with the bandits, but also ensure that the bandits do not kill Miss Qiao Er, wouldn't it be beautiful. Miss Hong Thirteen said in sections.

Miss Law, who was observing the words, finally couldn't hold it anymore, and kept flipping the violet handkerchief she had just bought. The complexion is solemn.

She realized that if she didn't implement the next step, the whole situation would be difficult to control and mediate, so she came up with a "hand-to-hand" plan.

When everyone was thinking about how many silver taels to prepare, who would deliver them. Miss Lao Yingyi complained: "It's about the safety of the second lady of Qiaofu, how can Ying'er see death and not save her." What do you all think: the ransom money is prepared by the Lao family, and personally escorted by a respected person of our Lao family. How is it. ”

"No, since Lao Yingyi has been secretly in love with Brother Zhengkai, he is jealous of any other woman who has crossed paths with him, and there is no room for sand in his eyes. How can such a corrupt woman go? This is very bad for Sister Qiao! "Hong Shengxi - a fierce woman, often on the cusp of the storm, people give the nickname "Iron Lady".

Lao Yingyi and Hong Shengxi have always been at odds, and recently they have made a lot of trouble in the competition for the "three good students" place in Shanghai Nanyang Primary School; Lao Yingyi is notoriously tricky and unreasonable in Shanghai. Hong Shengxi couldn't stand this anymore. She could see that Lao Yingyi was affected by stubborn thoughts, and she was not the same as Brother Zhengkai. How can such a woman not be wary; Her tricks can at most deceive Mrs. Hong, who is deceived by her appearance.

"Everyone, Xiao Ying also has good intentions; If you can't believe her, the old man sees that Mr. Tian is a think tank military advisor; You might as well ask Zheng'er to go to the Beacon Fire Cliff with Xi'er and Mr. Tian to rescue Miss Xun. By the way, he made up for the loss of Hongjia No. 6 Mine. Intercept the brilliance. ”

Mrs. Hong - far-sighted, eagle-eyed and sharp-eyed, Tao Xue constantly cranked the fan to repel mosquitoes.

"Grandmother, why don't you accept Ying'er's proposal? Miss Xun is in prison, and people want to do their part! Good no good? Grandmother! Miss Lao said coquettishly.

"Then explain it: What is the reason why you categorically refused to rescue the second lady of Qiao Mansion at the beginning, and then now you are rescued by Gu Dao's hot intestines?" Miss Hung 13 was the first to raise an objection.

It is impossible to say that Miss Lo does not have a bad heart.

She was trying to win the favor of the old lady, and couldn't help but stand beside her and fan the flames: "Everyone didn't make it clear at the beginning that this matter had to be rescued, so it was necessary to let the black lights of Laofu go to fight with the bandits." That's what people don't want to see, doesn't it? ”

"The eyes of the people are shining. Don't think you don't know who you are. If you let the labor government contribute, I am afraid that you will take advantage of the fire to rob and trap your sister in danger. Sheng Xi glared angrily.

"It's just that you blame me for not contributing, why am I behaving positively now and burying me, how can there be such a reason in the world."

"Anyway, you can't go."

Hong Shengxi turned to Miss Hong 13 and looked at the map of the Beacon Fire Cliff.

The white snow drifted to the world, and the amorous lord comforted the amorous earth.

Dense ink is engraved on the white letters.

This letter will determine the fate of Miss Qiao Xunyi, Miss Hong Shisan carefully checked that there was no one around, quietly stuffed it into the letter box, and the messenger angel set off.

At the same time, he was hesitating and pacing in the west of the Lao Mansion, although he was the eldest lady of the First House, he couldn't love Hong Zhengkai.

She was full of jealousy: she was also full of contradictions and hatred, so many people protected her and loved her; The contradiction is: if she joins forces with the bandits to bring down the Qiao family, will she lose Hong Zhengkai, or even the entire Hong Mansion.

After weighing the pros and cons, her demons were resurrected. You have to disappear.

When the letter reached the sky above the Lao Mansion, Miss Law suddenly came from her meditation.

"It's out so soon. Qiao Xun is denied; Qiao Xun was reluctant. Don't look at so many people who love you; In the face of fate, you can only give in forever. I'm going to let you have no return. ”

It's unbelievable that Lao Yingyi is proficient in bird control.

I saw that she was very skilled, and the sudden fall of the messenger into Miss Law's hands was not very alarming.

The messenger is small and delicate, and the white body is hard to put down.

But Lao Yingyan was driven by jealousy, and he had no time to pay attention to these details. She took advantage of no one to take care of her, and copied [imitating Hong Zhengkai's handwriting].

In another original letter, he jumped and flipped his handwriting: he vividly described his admiration for the bandits and his desire to cooperate with the bandits to get rid of Qiao Xun.

He let the pigeon go.

It is unthinkable that the situation will develop so far under the pressure of Lloyd's Register, which is sighing.

The window lattices are carved with red lacquer, and the smell of magnolia flowers mixed with white and white is scattered all around, and no one is thinking about why they are placed in such a setting.

And Zheng Kai alone can feel the pain in his heart; He has been trapped in the tiger's den in Longtan for two days, and there has been no news.

His aunt's letter was directly related to Miss Qiao Er's life and death, and his heart was turbulent and emotional, which made him more and more restless.

The crimson jade bracelet shimmered in Miss Hong Thirteen's dowry box. This treasure has been following Qiao since she was born, and it has been preserved in the Hongfu since it was lost in an instant.

Miss Hong Shisan has been holding back in her heart, feeling that it is time to talk to her nephew.
