Chapter 32 Cinderella

Seeing Lin Wenjing come out, Chen Zikun quickly cheered up and said, "Miss Lin, do you want a car?"

"Shh" Lin Wenjing saw that it was Chen Zikun, and she suddenly showed joy between her eyebrows and eyes. She made a gesture of silence. She ran over and jumped into the car and said, "Go quickly and go quickly."

Without saying a word, Chen Zikun spread his long legs and pulled the car out of the alley. Then Lin Wenjing covered her heart and said with lingering fear: "It's so thrilling, I almost saw it by Uncle Zhang."

"Miss, are you running away from home or why?" Chen Zikun asked while running.

"Hehe, Uncle, you are so good at joking. Aunt Mi took her brother to the card game. Daddy had a dinner party and I was the only one left at home. Wang Yueqi and I made an appointment to go and watch stilts today. By the way, Uncle, your business is still fine."

"It's pretty good, you don't have to worry about food and clothing. Miss, why do you think of asking this?"

"I've been trying to say sorry to you because I took us out to play, and I've been causing you to be fired by Aunt Mi.

"Haha, it's okay."

Wang Yueqi's home was just two streets away. She soon arrived at Wang's house. Lin Wenjing got off the driveway: "Uncle, can you wait for me for a while?"

"no problem."

"Thank you." Lin Wenjing jumped into Wang's house and came out with Wang Yueqi less than ten minutes later. Wang Yueqi was not surprised to see Chen Zikun, but was just confused: "Your family has changed into a new car."

Lin Wenjing didn't say it out loud, got in the car with her and went to Dazhong Temple. Every year on the first day of the first lunar month, it was the opening day of the Dazhong Temple Fair, including opera singers, juggling, stilt-strolling, and various cheap and delicious snacks. They were all available.

After arriving at the place, Wang Yueqi gave Chen Zikun two eldest sons and took Lin Wenjing to play. Chen Zikun gave these two eldest sons to the old man who set up a tea stall on the road: "Old man, help me watch the car, thank you."

After settling the car, he followed the two girls. The temple fair was crowded with people, shoulder to shoulder, and gangsters were indispensable. The two young girls were naturally targeted soon. The two scoundrels looked at Lin Wenjing's slender back in a daze, wiped the saliva from their mouths and followed.

The scoundrel's actions could not be hidden from Chen Zikun's fierce eyes. He quickly stepped forward, grabbed a scoundrel's arm and pulled it down, and immediately dislocated. He screamed in pain, and beads of sweat dripped down. His accomplices were at a loss, so he could not even care about following the beauty.

Hearing the screams behind, Lin Wenjing turned around and Wang Yueqi said unsurprisingly: "It's okay, maybe I'm stepping on someone's foot. By the way, the fireworks party will be held at the Six Kingdoms Hotel tomorrow. Are you going?"

"What, I don't know." Lin Wenjing was stunned.

"You must go. Celebrities in Beijing will be present. This will be the grandest fireworks party in 1919. In order to celebrate the victory of the European War and the Chinese New Year, every guest was dressed in costumes and dancing under the night of the blooming fireworks, which was like a fairy tale." Wang Yueqi narrowed her eyes and looked intoxicated.

"Oh" Lin Wenjing could only respond obediently. She had been locked at home for a while and did not know what was happening outside.

"I've inquired, and officials above the deputy minister will receive invitations. However, there are many officials from the Duan Cabinet who are pro-Japanese. They would rather stay in the mansion to play mahjong than join in the fun, so the invitation is easy to get. I have asked Senior Xu to help me."

"Can you help me get one?" Lin Wenjing said with a gaze.

Wang Yueqi hesitated for a moment and agreed: "Okay, I think of a solution, but I can't guarantee it."

Chen Zikun hid not far away and eavesdropped their conversation clearly.

The two girls walked around the temple fair for a while and had a great time. Just as they were about to go home, Chen Zikun showed up in time with a rickshaw.

"Two ladies, go back."

"You are here just in time. I will send me to the Prince's Mansion of Shuncheng County first, and then send your ladies home." Wang Yueqi said this with a sense of pride.

There were few cars and horses on the streets on the first day of the Lunar New Year. Chen Zikun shook his legs and ran all the way to the Prince's Mansion. The door was so grand. The three-bedroom gates had three-bedroom gates on both sides, forming a main gate adjacent to nine rooms. It was magnificent. The two stone lions at the door were even more ferocious and majestic. However, the most awesome one was the eight guards standing on both sides of the gate, Yishui's blue-gray military uniform, leather bullets turned with box cannons, and his waist was straight.

There was a large open space in front of the palace gate, full of cars, carriages, rickshaws, and a row of coachmen squatting in the sun at the wall. Needless to ask, the owners of these cars came to greet the high officials living here.

The residence of the Prince of Shuncheng County was not the prince of the former Qing Dynasty, but General Xu Shuzheng, the hot deputy chief of the Beiyang government. Xu Tingge was his nephew, and Wang Yueqi came to find Senior Xu.

"I'll do it here. Lin Wenjing, you go back first." Wang Yueqi got out of the car and saw Lin Wenjing goodbye.

"Well, goodbye, please inform me if you have good news." Lin Wenjing walked away in a car. Wang Yueqi then came to the gate of Xu's mansion and made people tell me that she was looking for Mr. Xu.

When the housekeeper of the Xu family saw that it was a female college student who came to find the young master of the nephew, he did not dare to neglect and quickly reported it. In a short time, Xu Tingge came out to greet him, invited Wang Yueqi in, and asked while walking, "Hey, where is the female classmate who is inseparable from you?"

"You said Lin Wenjing, she has something to do." Wang Yueqi said.

"Oh, what's wrong with you here? Wang Yueqi." Xu Tingge was a little absent-minded.

"Senior Xu, Six Kingdoms Hotel is going to hold a fireworks party. I... Lin Wenjing and I want to go. Can you help us find two invitations?" Wang Yueqi said.

"This is difficult. My uncle's concubines want to go there. The invitation is not enough, but there are some tickets to watch the fireworks." Xu Tingge said as he took out two tickets.

"Only by having this can you enter Dongjiaomin Lane. Except for not being able to enter the restaurant and dance hall of the Six Kingdoms Hotel, it is similar to the invitation."

Wang Yueqi took the ticket and said, "Thank you senior, I'm leaving."

"You'll leave without tea, wait, it's hard to call a taxi now, I'll ask Xu Er to take you there."

Xu Tingge called a servant and asked him to call Xu Er over and take Wang Yueqi home from the car.

Xu Er was working in the concierge and studying a junior elementary school textbook. When he heard the young master's greeting, he quickly pulled the car to take Miss Wang away. Wang Yueqi did not go home directly, but went to Lin's house first.

At this time, Lin Wenjing had already returned home. Fortunately, Aunt Mi and Dad did not come back. No one noticed that she had sneaked out to play. Seeing that Wang Yueqi was coming so soon, she immediately showed joy: "I got the invitation so soon?"

"It's not that easy. Even the high-ranking officials can't grab it, and even the ticket to watch the fireworks can't be obtained." Wang Yueqi sighed.

"Oh, nothing." Lin Wenjing comforted Wang Yueqi instead.

After chatting for a while, Wang Yueqi said goodbye and left. Lin Wenjing sat at the table, opened the chicken heart box on the necklace, looked at the photo of her mother and murmured: "Mom, I really want to go and see the fireworks."

...

In the evening, Xiao Shunzi returned to the Ziguang Car Factory after work. He was about to go back to the house to sleep, but saw Chen Zikun sitting on the chair of the Taishi in the main room with a big golden knife, waving to him.

"Da Kunzi, what's the matter?" Xiao Shunzi hurried over and asked.

"Close the door." Chen Zikun said seriously.

Xiao Shunzi quickly closed the door, pulled a chair and sat down, and said carefully: "Da Kunzi, what are you doing, don't scare me."

"Yaoting, are we good brothers?"

Xiao Shunzi also became serious: "We are living a life-long friendship!"

"Okay, I have one thing now. Only you can help. Do you help?"

Xiao Shunzi's heart was overwhelming. Da Kunzi was so serious. Could it be that he had a life lawsuit outside and needed to find someone to convict?

"Da Kunzi, I am willing to help you, so my sister will entrust you to take care of you." Xiao Shunzi said sadly.

Chen Zikun was confused by him: "What are you saying? I just want to find you to get two invitations to the fireworks party at the Six Kingdoms Hotel."

Xiao Shunzi breathed a long sigh: "I almost got scared to death by you, I thought it was..."

But when I thought about it, my face lengthened again: "Da Kunzi, my good brother, it's harder than killing my life. This banquet was held by envoys from various countries who borrowed the venue of the Six Kingdoms Hotel. They invited either diplomatic envoys or nobles. I was a little listener in the cloakroom in the hotel. I couldn't get an invitation if you peeled it alive."

Chen Zikun pondered for a moment, thinking that Xiao Shunzi's words made sense and that he was a little embarrassed.

Xiao Shunzi's eyes turned and said, "Are you confused? What I said yesterday was to watch the fireworks tickets, not invitations. If you want the tickets, I can get one or two."

Chen Zikun said: "The ticket is OK, I want it now."

Xiao Shunzi really took out an entrance ticket from his arms, "I'll give it to you first, but it's okay if you don't need a ticket. My friend is the one who keeps the door, and I can bring you in at that time.

"You're doing well." Chen Zikun praised casually.

Xiao Shunzi danced: "Of course, my eyes are alive and my mouth is sweet. Who doesn't buy my face? The one who keeps the door is my little brother. The eldest sister in the laundry room is glamorous. It's even more confusing to get some leftovers in the kitchen."

"Haha, not bad." Chen Zikun praised him meaningfully.

...

The next morning, Lin Wenjing woke up from her sleep and was sitting at the table combed her hair in a daze. Suddenly, she saw a pink note on the table. She picked it up and saw the ticket to the Fireworks Gala of Six Kingdoms Hotel!

"Mom, did you hear your daughter's prayer?" Lin Wenjing opened the chicken heart box on her necklace again and shed tears happily at her mother's photo.

After getting the ticket, I had to ask my father for leave. After finishing my makeup, I came to the main room carefully. The family sat at the table for breakfast. The wife said that there was a card game in the evening and wanted to play eight times with Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Li and the others. My father was reading the newspaper while eating, and said casually: "Don't come back too late. I also have a social event in the evening. Mom Lin, you just need to be a lady alone when cooking."

He said to his daughter again: "You are not allowed to go anywhere at night. You are honestly reviewing your studies at home. If you can't get into Peking University, then you will ask."

Lin Wenjing didn't dare to mention it now, so she buried her head in the meal. After eating, she went back to tidy up her clothes quietly. She only had two winter coats, one blue and the other white. Thinking about it, she was going to wear the Yindanshi Lin blue and a long white scarf, which was the best effect.

I took out the leather shoes from under the bed, wiped them carefully with a small cloth, poured another glass of water, dipped the comb into water and combed my hair, finally took out my wallet, counted my belongings, and had two cents a month pocket money, which had been accumulating for half a year, and it was more than one yuan.

After finally waiting for the afternoon, the wife took Wenlong to the card game, and the husband also went to drink with his colleagues. Lin Wenjing was dressed neatly and sneaked out of her house with the ticket. Seeing the familiar figure at the entrance of the alley, she immediately said happily: "Uncle, hurry up, Six Kingdoms Hotel."

"Okay." Chen Zikun pulled the car and left. Today he still had a pair of capable short-dressing, blue cloth cotton jacket, crown-crotch pants, leg straps, an old cotton hat on his head, and a pair of leather shoes under his feet. He pulled the car and walked quickly on the street. Everyone praised him when he saw it. The coachman was so smart.

When we arrived at Dongjiaomin Lane, the embassy area was particularly lively today, with lights and decorations everywhere. Foreigners followed the customs and celebrated the New Year according to the Chinese rules. The patrol soldiers also wore mighty dresses, leather boots and bayonets, and were covered with well-dressed Chinese and foreign guests, laughing and laughing.

Lin Wenjing got out of the car, gave Chen Zikun a son, and went there excitedly with the ticket.

Chen Zikun put the rickshaw cart and entered the Six Kingdoms Hotel through the side door. A Chinese guard stopped him: "What are you doing?"

"Brother, I am Li Yaoting's eldest brother." Chen Zikun said with a smile, handing over a cigarette roll and three cannons.

"Brother, wait, I'll call him over." The guard immediately became kind and found Xiao Shunzi in a short time.

Chen Zikun pulled Xiao Shunzi aside and whispered a few times. Xiao Shunzi's face changed: "Brother, you're just asking me a problem."
