( ) When they were about to reach the intersection, Zuo Shaoqing stopped and said, "Yuhong, we've sent her so far, so don't send her away."
Qian Yuhong stopped, still lowering her head. After a while, she said softly: "Shaoqing, I want to ask you one thing."
Zuo Shaoqing looked at her carefully, "What's the matter, tell me."
Qian Yuhong raised her head, looked at Zuo Shaoqing silently, and said: "Shaoqing, I am just a woman who wants a man. I have no abilities and I dare not do any bad things. I beg you, don't come to me again in the future.
Can I?"
Zuo Shaoqing looked at her and asked cautiously: "Yuhong, why do you say that?" [
Qian Yuhong took out a white silk handkerchief from her pocket and said, "I don't mean anything else. I'm just a little scared. I don't want to stir up any trouble. Shaoqing, if you promise me,
I will give you something." She slowly unfolded the handkerchief and spread it on her palm, "What I give you is not this handkerchief, what I give you is a seal on this handkerchief."
Zuo Shaoqing saw that there was indeed a seal printed in the middle of the handkerchief. She looked carefully and recognized the three characters "Yi Gongzi" in seal script. She was a little surprised, this should be Ye Gongjin's seal. She once
Yu Zhidao, chief of staff of the Joint Logistics Headquarters, was asked to guess who "Mr. Yi" was. Yu Zhidao guessed it. But what did Qian Yuhong mean? She couldn't figure it out for the moment.
Qian Yuhong said softly: "Shaoqing, this is Ye Gongjin's seal. He has an account in Jingye Bank and has deposited a lot of money, part of which is my money. I know that when Ye Gongjin evacuated Nanjing, he had a lot of money."
It was very urgent, but he did not withdraw his money. Ye Gongjin used this seal to withdraw money from his account."
I believe the judges still remember the seal on this handkerchief. Chapter 75 of this book, "Scrupulous", is about this matter.
Zuo Shaoqing looked at her quietly and said nothing.
Qian Yuhong added: "Shaoqing, I don't know what you are going to do when you return to Nanjing, and I don't want to ask. But I guess you may need money. Maybe you can try to see if you can withdraw money from Jingye Bank.
"
Zuo Shaoqing said: "I see you don't have a penny on you, so why don't you take some out and use it for yourself?"
Qian Yuhong smiled and said, "I'm afraid and don't dare to take it. Besides, Brother Fu supports me, so I don't need money. Now Jingye Bank has been nationalized and is a branch of the Commercial Bank. I heard,
The money from past regular customers is still being kept and can be withdrawn. Shaoqing, if you can withdraw it, just take it and don't come to me again."
Zuo Shaoqing didn't want to agree to her request. She might need Qian Yuhong's help in the future. She changed the subject calmly, "Yuhong, I know, Ye Gongjin is in Taiwan, don't you miss him?"
?”
Qian Yuhong's mouth opened slightly, and there were tears in her eyes, "Shaoqing, don't mention him to me again. He left me behind, which made me feel cold. I served him so well and obeyed him so much."
.In bed, I will do whatever he wants me to do, as long as he is happy. Say something shameless, and there is nothing I can’t say to you. At that time, I sometimes had my period and was inconvenienced.
, I also used my mouth to do it to him. However, this heartless person finally threw me away without even a word of farewell or an apology. I hate him, hate him all my life. So, I don’t want to use his
Money. If you can take it out, take it all, I'm happy."
She pointed at the handkerchief in Zuo Shaoqing's hand and showed a cat-like smile, "Shaoqing, I'm giving this to you. I just ask you not to come to me again in the future."
After Zuo Shaoqing and Qian Yuhong broke up, they were walking alone on the street. She thought of Qian Yuhong's request when they finally parted, and she felt a little entangled in her heart.
In fact, she really sympathized with Qian Yuhong and wanted to let her go. However, she had to find the 'Water Hyacinth'. Therefore, regardless of whether Qian Yuhong was related to the 'Water Hyacinth', she would have to come back to find Qian Yu sooner or later.
Red. She believes that Qian Yuhong's husband must be a lurker. She needs to find a lurker as a bait to lure out the 'water hyacinth'. This is the task she must complete now!
However, she is not sure at all how and when she will be able to find the 'water hyacinth' that is pressing on her heart. It may take a long time. Therefore, whether she will come back to look for Qian Yuhong again in the future?
We can only talk about it at that time.
Zuo Shaoqing thought about everything in her mind one by one and knew that she still had a few things to do this afternoon.
She went to the Confucius Temple first. The Confucius Temple was still so lively, and there were always people coming and going on the street. The shops on the street put their goods all the way to the street, shouting loudly to attract customers. The vendors carried baskets.
, carrying a load, shuttled back and forth among the pedestrians. The former rickshaws have now been replaced by tricycles, with bells ringing "dangdang" and pedaling forward quickly.
Zuo Shaoqing walked slowly on the street. Finally, she saw a small carving stall behind a corner. A wrinkled old man in his sixties sat in front of the stall, lowering his gray head.
, a pair of hands like eagle claws, holding a carving knife, were carving words on a seal.
The old man slowly raised his head and stared silently at Zuo Shaoqing standing in front of him with his old eyes. When he confirmed that this woman might be one of his patrons, he put a small stool in front of Zuo Shaoqing and said:
"Madam, please sit down." Then he continued to lower his head and carve the seal in his hand.
Zuo Shaoqing sat down next to the stall and said nothing. She picked up an engraved seal and looked at it carefully. She actually couldn't see anything, but she had to look at it carefully and slowly turn the seal.
This seal seems to be making an expert judgment on this seal.[
She finally put down the seal in her hand. This action made the old man slowly raise his head and look at Zuo Shaoqing with his old eyes. Zuo Shaoqing smiled at him, and then took out the seal from his pocket.
A white silk handkerchief, showing the seal on the handkerchief to the old man.
The old man silently stared at the seal on the handkerchief for three minutes before looking up at Zuo Shaoqing.
There was a smile on Zuo Shaoqing's face, and she could almost see the old man's inner thoughts exactly.
There is no doubt that this is not an official seal used by the "government", nor is it a name seal used by private individuals. It is just a casual seal. The three characters "Yi Gongzi" may be the nickname of a famous person. Such a casual seal is not easy to engrave.
No effort. So, the lady used a handkerchief to make a show for him, with only one purpose: to seek resemblance.
The old man finally spoke, "Madam, this seal may not be the same when it is engraved."
Zuo Shaoqing shook his head, his eyes showing a hint of firmness in his gentleness, "Old sir, it must be the same."
"Oh, madam, that's expensive." The old man was silent for a moment and finally said softly.
"How much do you charge?" At this time, she saw the old man's Adam's apple moving up and down slowly, and she judged that he was making up his mind to offer a big price. She smiled and said: "Old sir, how much is it?
, you tell me."
"Madam, it costs fifteen yuan." The old man said almost through gritted teeth.
"When will the contract be due?" Zuo Shaoqing asked softly.
"Two days later, it will still be this time."
Zuo Shaoqing looked at him calmly and shook his head, "Old sir, I'll pick it up in three hours. Can you finish it?" When she said this, she glanced around casually, as if to say, you
If that doesn't work, I'll find another stall. She looked at the old man calmly and reached for the handkerchief on the small table.
One of the old man's eagle-like fingers pressed down on the handkerchief, and there was a plea hidden in his old eyes, "Madam, then... then three hours, okay."
Zuo Shaoqing smiled gently, but with firm eyes, "Old sir, if you don't look like this, if you can't pay the job, I won't pay." After saying that, she stood up gently and left quietly.
The next thing Zuo Shaoqing has to do is to go to the bank to withdraw her little savings. She only has a few dollars in her pocket, which is not enough to pay the old man's wages. She must withdraw her little savings today.
She took the bus for a few stops and found the bank where she used to make deposits. A branch that used to look very grand was now just a savings bank with three or four staff busy at the counter.
The whole withdrawal process was very simple. Zuo Shaoqing's bankbook was gone long ago. If she still had it, it was in Taipei. But her good mind remembered the eighteen-digit account number on the bankbook. She dipped a bald one into it.
With a pen, she wrote her name and the eighteen-digit account number on the withdrawal receipt. Then she told the clerk at the counter that her passbook was lost.
The clerk at the counter found her account, and then patiently told her the ratio of old currency to new currency and the calculation method of deposit interest. "Comrade, because your account has not been touched since it was liberated, so according to the instructions of your superiors,
According to regulations, we can only calculate current interest for you."
Zuo Shaoqing smiled gently, "Comrade," this was the first time she said these two words, "I understand, please just follow the regulations of your superiors. I want to take them all out."
Her principal and interest totaled one hundred and thirty-four yuan and sixty-nine cents. Among them were thirteen large bills of ten yuan, which made Zuo Shaoqing very satisfied. She carefully put the money into her pocket and smiled at the bank clerk.
Wave goodbye.
She looked at her watch and saw exactly three hours later that she would appear in front of the old man carving words in the Confucius Temple.
The old man looked at her silently with an expression on his face. He quietly put a small stool in front of her. After she sat down, he sent the white silk handkerchief to Zuo Shaoqing. Still without saying a word.[
Zuo Shaoqing unfolded the handkerchief, and there was a new bright red seal next to the original seal. Zuo Shaoqing lowered her head and compared the two seals carefully. She was finally convinced that the two seals were really the same.
Exactly the same. When she raised her head and smiled at the old man, she could clearly see that he was relieved. (Literature Zone-Short Stories enxuequ)
