It seems that this Miss Yu is really out of luck.

Thinking of this, Aunt Shu couldn't help but feel a little pity. She looked at Bai Qianyu sitting over there and wanted to say a few words about what happened just now, or give a few words of pretentious comfort like "Miss, don't take it personally." But the other person

If she didn't open her mouth, she wouldn't be able to discuss things without permission as a servant, and it would be very hard for her to endure it.

"Miss, the gramophone is ready." Finally, Aunt Shu cranked the handle, and Bai Qianyu came over curiously. It was the first time Aunt Shu saw this look on her face, and she couldn't help but feel a little proud, and said, "This phonograph

Well, you can listen to music when the clock is fully wound. It's very simple, just shake it clockwise."

Bai Qianyu looked at the big yellow speaker. This thing was an antique to her. "How long can you listen to it when it is last wound?"

"You can only listen to one side at a time. If you want to listen to the other side, you have to wind it up again." Aunt Shu picked up a stack of records and said, "What song do you want to listen to, Miss? There are many records at home, but not opera or anything like that. Master, don't you?"

Love to hear..."

Bai Qianyu pointed at one. Aunt Shu put the record in, released the brake button, and the clockwork gear drove the turntable shaft to rotate. The turntable shaft and fly ball shaft also rotated, and the tone arm lightly contacted the vinyl record.

, and then, the sound of piano that spanned half a century instantly filled the entire room.

Bai Qianyu didn't expect that she was familiar with this piece of music. Chopin's Prelude No. 15 in D flat major. Of course, there is also a more memorable name, "Raindrops". She had practiced it before when she was studying piano, but she heard this piece of music again.

At that time, time was reversed, space was confused, the fine sand of fate was flowing in the gramophone, and everything was changed.

"It's piano music, oh, it's a Western musical instrument." Aunt Shu knew a bit about music under the influence of Master Fu, but it was only to the extent that the master would not misplace it when he told her what music he wanted to listen to.

Xiao Huan stood aside and couldn't help but look at the singing monster again and again. She cautiously approached the phonograph and blinked her eyes to observe. After these few days, the little maid already knew that this was a kind of "knowledge" and would not ask questions.

Questions like "Is there a little person who can sing in there?" came up.

"There's nothing surprising about the pattern on it. It's just that it can sing. Westerners' brains are really good." Xiaohuan listened for a while and said to Bai Qianyu, "Miss, come and take a look."

Bai Qianyu suddenly sighed and said quietly, "It's no wonder that people don't want me. I go to Xiafei Road every day. How can I understand these Western things?"

Then, she saw that Aunt Shu's expression seemed to be stained with poor quality water for a moment. She opened her mouth, as if she wanted to make a smile, but was not very successful, "Miss Yu, what are you... talking about?"

Woolen cloth……"

Bai Qianyu understood everything immediately and said sadly, "You don't have to hide it from me anymore. I know everything about that."

Aunt Shu's eyes widened, and she immediately thought of Pan Biying who had just left, and stammered, "Yes, it's Miss Pan..."

Bai Qianyu picked up a handkerchief and wiped away the non-existent tears, nodded, "Now that things have happened, I don't have any wishful thinking anymore, I just want to know... how is that woman better than me?" Her words were choked with sobs, and then

With a bit of distraction

Bai Qianyu couldn't help but feel a little proud of Hui's despair. Although she had never studied acting, one of her ex-boyfriends was a popular star on the screen at the time. She had visited the crew a few times, so she must have been influenced by it at that time.

Lots of acting skills.

Aunt Shu said in embarrassment, "As servants, it's not easy for us to discuss the master's affairs... Actually, Miss Yin is not a decent person... Look, she can't get in, either?"

Aunt Shu thought that everything about Bai Qianyu was clear, so it didn't matter if she said more or less. And in her opinion, no matter how unpopular Bai Qianyu was with the young master, he was at least engaged, so it was natural at this time

I need to help the young master make peace with him and make up for it.

Miss Yin, Xiafeilu...

Bai Qianyu said calmly, "Is that true? But Miss Pan told me that Fu Shaoze fell in love with her at first sight and would marry her sooner or later."

"Oh, don't listen to her nonsense. What does she know? She just followed the young master's car secretly, and that's how she discovered it." Aunt Shu got angry as she said this, "Let me tell you the truth. In fact, we

I don’t know the name of this ‘Miss Yin’ or who she is. I only know that the first time she appeared was a year ago..."

It was a cold winter.

Aunt Shu still remembered that evening, the young master brought back a girl who was in a state of embarrassment. At that time, the girl's clothes were in tatters, as if she had been beaten, her face was swollen, and there were blood stains. It made people feel sad to see her. The young master

He asked her to call the foreign doctor, who seemed very concerned.

While waiting for the doctor, Aunt Shu brought her water, iodine, and cotton she had prepared at home, and simply wiped the wound for her. She also got a blanket for her to wrap around, so she learned that the girl's last name was "

"Yin" is a college student.

The foreign doctor came and worked very late. The young master wanted her to stay at home overnight, but she insisted on calling a rickshaw to go back. The young master had no choice but to drive her back in person. After sending her back in the heavy rain,

, with a smile on his face.

But what happened next, and what happened between the young master and Miss Yin, Aunt Shu had no way of knowing. She only knew that after a while, the young master bought a house on Xiafei Road, and hired the most capable cook and

The servant went there, and Miss Yin's phone calls came in from time to time in the evening. The calls lasted for a long time... From then on, Aunt Shu knew that the young master had such a person outside, and he would go to Xiafei Road every two days.

of.

"Aunt Shu, I'm from here. Man, just because of the novelty, the young master will never marry this woman. Just saying it's the master's side won't agree. Who in this mansion has never heard the master talk about you?

Marriage with the young master? The master has wanted to send people to pick you up several times.

What about marriage..." At the end, Aunt Shu made a concluding speech with great sincerity, "Young master, you are still young and your mind is uncertain, but as long as the master speaks, he has to listen even if you don't want to, right? So,

Don't worry, just pretend that you haven't heard of this kind of thing, the days are still long."

Under the worried eyes of the maid, Bai Qianyu nodded obediently, indicating that she understood and would never mess around.

"Miss, this vixen is a powerful character. He has the young master in his hands without saying a word. You have to be careful... This kind of person is the most disgusting. Men are always sympathetic to women, and their ears are soft.

, I can’t see a woman crying, you must not take this matter to make the young master angry, and you can’t bear it for a while..."

After Aunt Shu left, the little maid babbled about her experience in the back house. Bai Qianyu leaned on the sofa, and the piano music was still playing on the old-fashioned gramophone.

She looked out the window, the sky was getting darker and night was falling...

…

Night, Xian Lesi Ballroom.

The intoxicating jazz, the charming neon lights, the slender dancers, and the sweet champagne outlined a picture of drunkenness and wealth. Fu Shaoze looked at the gorgeous dance floor over there through the champagne glass, raised his head and drank the wine in the glass.

The woman next to him wanted to give him more, so he waved his hand, sat back on the sofa, and took out a box of cigars from his arms. Immediately, a dancer came over and lit the fire, and glanced at him sweetly,

"Master Fu, you are tired from playing, do you want to take a rest?"

Fu Shaoze didn't look at her, just held the cigarette in his mouth and flicked it with two fingers. The dancer stood up and left reluctantly.

He pulled off his tie and leaned casually on the sofa. When the neon lights moved away from the area, there was only darkness. Only the firelight on his fingertips flickered occasionally, but he had no intention of immersing himself in that strange and bizarre scene.

, just looking at the dance floor, a little absent-minded.

On the side, young men and women in groups of three or three glanced at him from time to time, but no one dared to come forward and interrupt him. Only Duan Kaiwen, who had just danced, sat down next to him and said, "Why are you sitting alone? Why don't you go?"

Dance?"

"Go and play by yourself, don't bother me." Fu Shaoze flicked the ash from his cigarette and put his feet casually on the table, looking very cool.

In the circle of young people in the upper class, Fu Shaoze's family background is known to be superior, and his temper is also known to be moody. He looks graceful on the outside, but in fact he is cold and arrogant in his bones. No one will be let go by him.

In the eyes.

Duan Kaiwen was not afraid of this, and winked and said, "Do you miss your lovely wife at home? You guys all know about it." He and Fu Shaoze were good brothers who had known each other since they were studying abroad, and they always talked well.

No meat or vegetables are taboo.

Before Fu Shaoze could answer, the men and women who heard them beside him became excited.

"What kind of wife? I want to listen too!"

"Kevin, what do you know?"

"That's right, tell it for everyone to hear."

Although they are not as distinguished as Fu Shaoze's family background, the families of these young people are all well-known figures in the Shanghai market. Their parents have more or less business or personal contacts, which can be regarded as a small circle with the top of the pyramid. At this time, here

In such a sensual occasion, everyone was having fun, so when they heard such gossip, they naturally started to make noises.

"Hey, that's his fiancée!" Duan Kaiwen was particularly excited at times like this, "I originally went to see Fu Shaoze that day, but he was not at home, and I happened to bump into his fiancée... That look, tsk tsk tsk..."

Fu Shaoze didn't say anything, and everyone booed curiously, "What kind of thing? Tell me, tell me!" Naturally, they had also seen the news in the newspaper, but they were well-informed, so they were half-convinced about this kind of news, and would not be like

Ordinary people just believe whatever they see.

"He looks... not bad, and he's not that old, but his clothes are very old-fashioned. None of our servants dress like this anymore." Duan Kaiwen recalled the scene that day, "I was just curious, so I took a few more looks.

, and guess what? Her maid had a straight face and told me not to look at anything inappropriate. How did she say that... Oh, she told me not to be rude to the female family members!"

"Hahahaha..." Everyone burst into laughter, "Isn't this a living antique..."

"Did she have her feet bound..."

"There really are people like this..."

"Don't look at anything inappropriate, it's so funny...hahahaha..."

Smiling and laughing, the voices became smaller and smaller. Everyone silently stopped talking, looked at Fu Shaoze who had not said a word in the corner, and then looked at each other.

Although they usually laughed and cursed unscrupulously, this was only for their subordinates, and they would never dare to make Fu Shaoze unhappy.

"Well, Mr. Fu, it's not worth it for everyone to do it for you..." The oily little fat man said cautiously at the beginning.

"Yes, yes, this marriage is too outrageous..."

"How can such a village woman be worthy of you..."

Fu Shaoze finally raised his eyes, glanced at the group of people, and finally landed on Duan Kaiwen, half-smiling but not smiling, "What does it have to do with you?"

Duan Kaiwen was so excited by what he saw that his eyes wandered and he suddenly shouted, "I'm going to dance!" Then he casually handed the champagne in his hand to the person next to him and ran away.

Fu Shaoze immediately stood up and passed by a group of silent men and women. Some people said something like "What's wrong?"

Left the ballroom.

After getting in the car, Fu Shaoze said, "Go to Xiafei Road." Seeing that he was not in a high mood, the driver said in a low voice, "Master, there is something..."

Fu Shaoze pressed his eyebrows and said impatiently, "If you have anything to say, just tell me."

The driver said cautiously, "...The master will be back soon."
