Chapter 92
Just after the Spring Festival, the bad news came that the Japanese hijacked the puppet, the abolished emperor of the former dynasty, and established the puppet Manchukuo in Changchun, Jilin. .

The Manchu Qing survivor who participated in the "Huanggutun Incident", the proud disciple of Kenji Doihara, Japan's largest spy chief in China, and Jin Dongzhen, the spy who designed Japanese monks to be killed by fake Chinese workers and provoked the "January [-]th Incident" , has been promoted to the commander-in-chief of the Anguo Army of the Puppet Manchukuo, and it is the time of the spring breeze: she cleverly used a trick to steal the dragon and turn the phoenix, and transported the abandoned empress Wanrong from Tianjin to Changchun safely in a coffin. Now "the emperor and queen are ready" , The drama of the puppet Manchukuo can finally start with the gong.

Mr. Xiao Ai, who was studying at the Japanese military academy, returned home quickly, and urgently needed to return to his elder brother to help him; after thinking about it, he still went to Peiping to ask to see Ning Zheng, and wanted to tell his former friend what he had to do.

Ning Zheng didn't see him—why bother?The position is already different, what can we talk about when we see each other?Talking about anything is embarrassing and deadlocked.

After Ning Zheng heard that the deposed emperor was about to "ascend the throne" again, he sent a basket of fruit to him who lived in the "Jingyuan" in Xiechangli, the Japanese Concession in Tianjin, and contained two small bombs with the fuses removed as a warning; The abolished emperor was determined to "restore the country", although he was frightened, he still obeyed the Japanese's dispatch.

Mr. Xiaoai has defended his elder brother since he was a child. His elder brother has made a decision, and he can only obey. The enthusiasm of the new youth has finally cooled down in front of the natural family affection, until it is silent.

…………

In the next year, spring begins, and everything is thriving. Beiping presents the wonderful atmosphere of early spring in the north. Because the contrast with the chilling and monotonous winter is too obvious, it is dyed with light green and light yellow spring scenery, which is so lovely. .

Fengjiu gradually fell in love with Longsheng who brought Yaya and was thrown back by Melanie in his spare time. Under the guidance of the two children's favorite gatekeeper of the palace—Old Wu Touer, the old Peiping, he wandered casually and found out which Alleys are interesting, and when I heard of a fun place, I went to check it out.

People in Peiping have a hobby. They like to buy some goldfish and enjoy the living things in the spring.

As a result, small vendors carrying multi-grid fish basins carved from willow wood began to appear in the streets and alleys, surrounded by neighbors who ran out as soon as they heard the yelling: some bought a few goldfish, and there were parents who loved their children eagerly. Some people buy the small pot of toad bones, that is, the little black tadpoles. It is said that if the children in the family drink it in the spring, they can improve eyesight, clear heart and detoxify, and they will not get sick all summer.

However, how could children understand the painstaking efforts of their parents, when they saw this little black thing gliding around in the water, they were all so startled that they burst into tears and opened their mouths wide open.At this time, it is often the father who softens his heart first, stands aside in panic, with his hands open and helpless, while the mother who is usually cruel and ruthless loses no time in pouring a small pot into the child's open mouth, and closing it again...

After a while, I felt that the little tadpole had already swam to the child's stomach and could not come up again, so I was satisfied to give the child a few pieces of candy.Now that they have suffered from the dumbness, what else can they do, the children had no choice but to happily take the candy and eat it. The rare sweet taste can really soothe their injured young hearts.

Fengjiu was leading the two children for a stroll in the alley once, and happened to be watching this scene. The three of them involuntarily raised their eyes and grinned. Fengjiu felt that this was almost like committing suicide—— How many germs must there be in the water where goldfish, tadpoles, and snails are raised in Beiping?

Yaya snuggled into her mother's arms in fear, and looked up at her flatteringly, but she was thinking in her heart that she always thought that her mother was fierce enough, but looking at it this way, she was really worse than these vicious children's mothers. So much better.

She rubbed her fat face against Feng Jiu's body, twisted her body, and acted coquettishly.The handsome Long Sheng watched from the side, secretly reached out to poke his sister's chubby belly, and smiled knowingly.

Feng Jiu specially consulted Qiaozhi about this matter, and sure enough, Qiaozhi, who was trained under the Western medicine system, criticized these folk remedies and traditional folk practices, and her voice trembled with anger.

After returning from the outside, Long Sheng, who took off his hat early, had a slight cough. Fengjiu remembered that children are prone to lung dryness in spring, so he ordered the kitchen to make some almond tofu, and he ate two bowls for Long Sheng, and it was really good; How could the little greedy cat not eat it? Although the taste of almonds is very special, there is a kind of greasy, weird and slightly bitter that is not easy to get used to, but she saw that Brother Lailai ate it all, so she ate it all .

After a while, the spring was strong, and the three children came out again to be "Hutong Chuanzi", walking under the rows of willow trees that looked green and yellow, while listening to the tea drinkers sitting under the trees shaking their heads and sighing, Because of the small Japan, it is impossible to have camels from outside the customs this year. Fortunately, there are people raising camels in Balizhuang and Beixin'an in the west of Beijing. Order a small business for children to walk around.

While listening, Feng Jiu looked up and saw two tall and big camels. The camels that began to shed their hair in spring did not look very energetic. Their bodies were covered with patches of skin and hair, and they turned into mottled camels, more like mangy dogs.They shook their noses loudly, and dripped down from their two big nostrils, tearing them long and hard. Yaya didn't feel dirty at all, and looked at them curiously.

Feng Jiu took care of the camel owner's business. The camel owner hurriedly made a camel kneel down, and then sat between the two humps with Ya Ya and Long Sheng. Long Sheng hugged Ya Ya's small thick waist. Just stood up "tiger", suddenly became tall, Yaya screamed, then laughed, and Longsheng's small white teeth were also exposed: Children often like to be stimulated, the more scared the merrier , The owner of the camel understands children's mentality very well, and after walking around slowly for two times, the two children came down with a lot of enthusiasm.

Just as Yaya stood still, when she raised her head, she happened to see a person passing by her mother, with a black eagle squatting on her arm--the eagle was full of spirit and spirit, and it seemed that it was serving very carefully, with extremely sharp eyes. They all stared, as if they owed it at least eight hundred hangs, which reminded the three of them of Fengtian's Haidongqing; but Feng Jiu knew that Haidongqing was safe and sound.

Ya Ya was already naughty, and had more hands than the little monkey, so she tugged at the corner of her mother's clothes.Fengjiu understood, led the two children and left.The man went into a big teahouse called "Longhaixuan", and they followed them in, and found that there were many bamboo strips, copper frames, and gilded bird cages hanging on the grille, with red and blue indigo jaws, dark green embroidered eyes, and red beaks in green. Avalokitesvara...everything.

"Carrying cages and racking birds" is originally a hobby of Baqi's children. These birds have already competed with each other while the master is keeping calm. Crisp and melodious.Long Sheng and Ya Ya had never seen this posture before, they looked at it with surprise, Feng Jiu found an empty table and pulled them to sit down, the waiter came over, Feng Jiu ordered a pot of "Zhulan tea".

The waiter hurriedly explained that the pearl orchids are not in their best season yet, so it is okay to add the "Milan Dafang" made by Zhangzhou Milan Scented with special old bamboo Dafang?
Naturally, Feng Jiu prefers Milan's delicate fragrance compared to Zhulan's faint scent.

After a while, the tea came, and the waiter skillfully lifted the teapot, allowing the tea to be poured slowly from a height into the thin-bodied tuanhe teacup in front of Fengjiu.Feng Jiu looked at it, blew it, and tasted it: the soup is bright, mellow and refreshing, the flower buds are as thin as rice beads, the tea leaves are smooth and dark green, mixed with Dinggu's generous chestnut aroma and elegant Milanese aroma, the serving is good Tea.

As soon as she looked up, she realized that the two dolls didn't look at the bird at this time, and they both wanted to taste something to drink—nothing else, as long as it was an adult drink, they both wanted to try it.

Feng Jiu smiled, and asked the waiter to serve half a pot of "glass", that is, hot water, and diluted the tea twice before pouring a cup for each of them; At first glance, it can be seen what a wealthy wife is going to do. After watching this reckless drinking method, and thinking about the price of the pot of "Milan Generosity" just now, I can't help shaking my head.

This was the first time Longsheng and Yaya drank tea. They pecked at the tea cautiously with their pointed beaks like birds, and tasted it tentatively. Yaya frowned after drinking it, and stopped drinking immediately—for the two For her at the age of [-], the bitterness and sweetness of the tea was too complicated for her to enjoy; but Long Sheng tasted the taste and drank it all.Feng Jiu's face was full of joy, and he felt more and more that this godson really suits him everywhere.

Fengjiu likes Fengtian's teahouses very much, especially those in the North Market, she is a frequent visitor.However, I won't be able to go back to my hometown for a while, so it would be good for the two little Fengtians to experience the teahouse culture from time to time.

This teahouse belongs to the "Red Furnace Hall" in the teahouses in Peking, and it also sells some salty and sweet food like pastry.At this time, it was approaching noon, and lunch had already been served on the tables of many old customers, and the two children were hungry again after seeing it.

Fengjiu saw that there was a pan bag fire, green plum box, three fairy cake and lazy dragon at the next table, so he also ordered a portion.Both Longsheng and Yaya had good appetites. As soon as the pastry came up, Feng Jiu wiped their hands with a hot towel, and each of the two children took a bag and burned it and chewed it carefully; Feng Jiu asked for a bowl of poached fish himself. The toppings are very particular, slightly spicy and sour, very tasty.

It was rare that there was still soy milk at this point, so I ordered two more bowls.Beiping's most famous bean juice, these three Fengtian people can't drink it——

Fengjiu drank it once at breakfast, but she couldn't vomit it out purely because of table manners, it felt like drinking swill.She was thinking about whether to go out and spit it out, but Ning Zheng, who was sitting opposite her eating, saw it, leaned over and kissed her directly, sucking half of the bean juice in her mouth, Feng Jiu was startled by this, " "Gudong", the other half swallowed by itself.

Fengjiu thought about it and almost laughed out loud. Suddenly, he recalled the news when Melanie sent Longsheng to him a few days ago. He felt that he should have told him the news, and he couldn't help but sulk again.Ning Zheng was too busy these days, and the couple could only speak a few words every morning, and she hadn't had time to settle accounts with him yet.

She came back to her senses, and suddenly found that the Yaya on the opposite side had a piece of burnt skin in her mouth, and she was staring blankly at the mother who had changed her face. Breaking off a small corner and handing it over, Yaya opened her mouth to catch it in confusion.

After eating, when it was time to pay the bill, the clever waiter came over early to ask questions, and immediately wrapped the remaining pastries in printed oiled paper, covering the top with a square red paper with the name of the teahouse, and a piece of hemp rope three times. The next five divides two, and the cross flower is mentioned again and again, and you can carry it away.Fengjiu rubbed her wrist, only to remember that she didn't hang a money bag - she rarely took the children out by herself, she even forgot to bring money, and she was not a regular customer, so she couldn't do things on credit.

Feng Jun hurriedly asked the waiter to go out to see if there was a tall young man wearing a black top hat at the door.The waiter went away in response, and after a while, a young man with a strong Kong Wu, who belonged to the guard brigade, was Ning Zheng's specially appointed bodyguard for Feng Jiu when he was out, so he settled the bill so as not to make a fool of himself.

After staying home for a long time, Ning Zheng came back from his office at Tongrentang—today he received the investigation team from the League of Nations who came to Beiping to investigate the "September [-]th Incident". It seemed that he could be cautiously optimistic, and his mood was a little more relaxed.

At this time, the children were already asleep, and Feng Jiu was writing the first draft of her dissertation on a typewriter in the study, preparing for the defense at the end of the year—just like when she was an undergraduate, her master's defense was planned to be held a year in advance, so it was the right time to start preparations.

As soon as Ning Zheng entered the door, the voice of the guard at the door saluted and greeted him. Feng Jiu gave a happy "ha" and immediately got up to meet him. Suddenly, he hesitated again, and finally reached the stairs on the second floor. mouth.

Ning Zheng crossed the hall and was about to go up to the second floor. When he looked up and saw his wife, he first smiled, then frowned as if remembering something, and just stood there.

The husband and wife stared at each other for a while, but Ning Zheng still had nothing to say, "Did Long Sheng and Ya Ya sleep?"

What time is it, can you not sleep?Feng Jiu slandered, but still nodded.

Ning Zheng walked up to Feng Jiu, stretched out his hand towards her, and Feng Jiu, who was wearing a light and light ivory white crepe de chine nightgown, stepped back slightly.Ning Zheng sniffed the military uniform on his body that hadn't been changed, and smelled the strong smell of smoke, thinking that Feng Jiu disliked him again, so he showed his face and smiled, "I'll go wash it."

The two entered the living room, Ning Zheng took off his military cap and military belt, put the military uniform on the sofa, and went into the bathroom.Hum words and deeds without words!Feng Jiu lowered his eyes slightly, sat on the sofa for a while, then went into the bedroom, took a set of his nightgown, walked to the bathroom door, knocked on the door meaningfully, and handed it in.

A wet hand suddenly stretched out and grabbed Feng Jiu's wrist.Feng Jiu let out a low cry, and even the belt of the nightgown was pulled in, and it was pulled under the shower head.

The silver shower head sprayed out thin and dense rain, like a bead curtain, separated between the two.Feng Jiu was drenched all over in an instant, and couldn't help being angry. He raised his head and stared at him, and scolded him in a low voice: "It's so late at night, why are you crazy?!"

Ning Zheng thought about what Ke Weili said to himself during the day, and felt that this heart was like a sponge, which had absorbed bitter water during the day, but now that it was squeezed, it began to spit out bitter juice, making the whole person bitter.

"Wen Xiuwei and Ke Weili are having an awkward fight, do you know that?" Ning Zheng asked in a low voice.

Well?How would she know?I probably know that Fengjiu is too busy with things now, and Wen Xiuwei has never heard of anything other than occasional visits or chatting on the phone.When asked, the couple are always in harmony.Awkward?Is it strange that any couple won't quarrel?

Ning Zheng stared into Feng Jiu's eyes, and slowly stretched out his hand to hold her shoulder, "Ke Weili was very angry because Wen Xiuwei said that she didn't want to have children in recent years, and probably said something too exaggerated; I didn't expect Wen Xiuwei to say..."

What did you say?Feng Jiu questioned with his eyes.

"She said that you once said that for 'unordinary' girls like you, who 'have knowledge, education, family background, and wealth', if your marriage is not satisfactory, you will only be left and right on the road of 'one beat and two break up'. You guys, 'can afford it.'".

...Well, it sounds familiar, I said it: About four years ago, she was asked by the old man to come to Beijing to accompany Ning Zheng to host the thank-you dinner at the Liuguo Hotel, and the next day she accompanied Ke Weili to Yanda University Visiting Xiuwei, it was at that time that the two of them fell in love.

At that time, she and Ning Zheng hadn't consummated their marriage; at that time, they were far from being as close as they are now...

Feng Jiu changed his mind and thought again, if it wasn't these two couples, why would they say everything?

——What she said to Weiwei, Weiwei turned around and told her husband; her husband, turned around and told her husband... Hey, it's really "not a family, don't enter a house".

However, these words sound a bit unfeeling, even unfeeling.But the truth is not rough-no matter what the time, what's wrong with planning for a rainy day?

Fengjiu became more courageous, and just wanted to refute a few words, hiss!Ning Zheng's hands became stronger and stronger, finally pinching her, Feng Jiu raised his eyes and frowned at him to express his dissatisfaction.

Ning Zheng relaxed his hands and rubbed her shoulders, his voice became ambiguous and low, and he murmured, "Does it hurt? Let me see..."

He began to peel off the clothes on her body. The ivory white nightgown was already clinging to her body, outlining the enchanting appearance of a new mother, like tuberose, which is the favorite of Peking people. It is an extremely beautiful woman carved with Western wet gauze technique, and every wrinkle is dynamic.Feng Jiu looked at Ning Zheng's eyes that instantly became dim, and his dissatisfaction disappeared suddenly, but he didn't say a word, he just closed his collar and gritted his teeth to compete with him for the little fabric left in his hand.

After a while, both of them let out a long sigh, and then a hoarse male voice sounded from the bathroom, "You eat and wipe out my life, and you only think about the little bastard who has always given up! What a good idea, do you want to take two shots together? Where are you going to go, tell me, huh?"

As soon as the "hmm" came out, the original aura of gnashing of teeth weakened a lot, and even traces of lingering meaning was added to it very disappointingly. "I was wronged, I didn't... Besides, isn't that the past... Well, I don't want to be here, it's uncomfortable..."

With a chuckle, the bathroom door was kicked open with a "boom", and a strong figure with a delicate body wrapped in it hurriedly returned to the bedroom—it was hard to come from the country, and the two of them seldom had such interest in sharing fish and water Tonight's little quarrel has finally turned into a little love that stimulates lust, and the night in Beiping in spring is still very long.

The sky was bright, and the two of them who had just woken up after falling asleep very tiredly hugged each other, murmured, and said what was in their hearts: Ning Zheng made Feng Jiu swear that no matter what, he could not leave him, especially now that he had Ya Ya, and even more so. You can't just run away with your daughter if you are unhappy.

Feng Jiu saw that although Ning Zheng was smiling, the smile in his eyes was very shallow, as if a gust of wind could blow it away.His heart is still gloomy, how can she make him worry about it anymore?Of course he agreed.

She also defended Wen Xiuwei: Xiuwei must feel that she is only 23 or [-] years old. Although she is not too young, her heart is like a child. mother.

Whether it is Wen Xiuwei's best friend, Feng Jiu didn't need to ask, he guessed the mind of Weiwei who was a few years younger in mental age.

Ning Zheng nodded, but Feng Jiu pouted again, and asked unwillingly, "When you were hospitalized, did Yang Zhidi go there?"

Ning Zheng was taken aback, as soon as he saw Feng Jiu yesterday, he was anxious to break up with her what he had said before, but he didn't expect Feng Jiu to be dissatisfied with him.However, he smiled, "It seems so, and I didn't care." Thinking of it this way, he should have come with a large group of Zhu Wu and the others. A classmate in middle school in Tianjin.

After several years of "exile" in Shanghai, Yang Si was finally picked up by his father, Yang Qinghua, who knew that there was no hope for a relationship with Ning Zheng.

Feng Jiu acted as if he hadn't heard, raised his hand to gently caress the neckline of his nightgown that was a little loose, and suddenly grabbed his collar viciously, "You didn't protect yourself well, let other women Taking advantage of the loophole, what should I do?"

Ning Zheng was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and immediately burst out laughing.

Feng Jiu was stunned. During this period of time, she thought of many ways to make him happy. Yaya, who could speak long sentences just now, also understood the changes in her father, and would pester him to play with her from time to time. It seems that he can smile more; but that kind of loud laughter has never happened again; his smile always appears for a short time, and then disappears again.

Unexpectedly, pretending to be jealous would make him so happy.This kind of creature like a man is quite strange. Feng Jiu never felt that it would be good for Ning Zheng to be jealous of other men for his own sake.No matter what, write it down, and if you see him unhappy in the future, you can give it a try.

However, while resisting Ning Zheng who was pressing up and entangled again, she thought bitterly: After getting up, the most important thing is to have a good chat with Weiwei, who has a big mouth...
