The necklace around Tong Amei's neck hung down as she lowered her head to examine the fabric, and was caught by Yingzi who glanced over.
A black gold necklace with a snow-white jade pendant hanging on it. In the middle of the heart-shaped pendant is a bright red spot like blood.
Yingzi's heart was pounding, what should I do?
This was something he copied from the list of stolen items on Watanabe Avenue for Mu Tian. She had read its description in detail. At that time, she felt that it would be great if she had this necklace. Of course, it should be given to her by her lover.
Gift.
what to do?
She asked herself again, rubbing her hands in circles irritably.
Su Xiaoxiao noticed something strange about Yingzi and asked with concern: "What's wrong with you? Is it very hot here?"
Yingzi couldn't answer for a while, so she just shook her head, gritted her teeth at the last moment, and ran directly towards Amei Tong.
Tong Lijuan saw Yingzi running towards her and was about to straighten up to say hello, but Yingzi walked directly in front of Tong Amei, held up the necklace pendant on Tong Amei's chest with one hand across the cloth table, and looked at it intently.
"Wow, what a beautiful necklace. Where did Aunt Tong buy it? I really want to buy one." Yingzi's surprise was real, because the back of the jade pendant was also wrapped in black gold, and it was engraved in Russian.
Author: "Marta".
She didn't know Russian, but she knew it was a special token.
I stroked Wujin's chain again, and it was extremely warm and moist. It was exactly the same as the description on the list.
At this time, Amei Tong took the necklace very gently and stuffed it into her chest, "Little sister, I didn't buy this, it was a gift from my lover. And it has a lot of history. It was a love token given to my lover by a foreign king. It's very interesting.
Come on. You can’t buy it even if you have money.”
When Su Xiaoxiao saw Yingzi staring at the black gold curtain around Tong Amei's neck, she thought she liked it. Then she heard Tong Amei say, "You can't buy it even if you have money." So she stepped forward and said, "If you like it, Mom can find a good silversmith to buy it."
You make one."
When Amei Tong heard what Su Xiaoxiao said, her face was filled with disdain. She tilted her head towards Su Xiaoxiao and said in a mocking tone: "Hit? I'm really ignorant." She took out the pendant from her chest and showed it to her in the palm of her hand.
Su Xiaoxiao, "Look, can you beat this? I'm afraid you won't be able to find such jade."
Su Xiaoxiao was about to take a closer look, but Amei Tong suddenly withdrew her hand and put the pendant back into her chest.
Seeing the blood gem pendant again, Eiko was convinced that it was the treasure described in the stolen list of Watanabe Avenue.
In this way, she became restless as if growing grass. She wanted to find Mu Tian immediately and tell him about this latest discovery. However, the two mothers were still here looking at fabrics to make clothes, and she couldn't leave.
This Mu Tian is the same. What kind of unlucky clothes should I wear at this time?
Her pink face turned red and white, and her eyes couldn't focus for a moment. Yingzi kept twisting and turning, even taking off her shoulder bag, swinging it from side to side in her hand. It was like a woman who was in urgent need of urination and couldn't find it.
Same as going to the toilet.
Su Xiaoxiao saw her uneasiness, "Daughter, go ahead and do whatever you want. Let's stay here for a while. Uncle Geng is here, so you won't get lost. Besides, I still know a little bit about Shanghai."
When Yingzi heard what Su Xiaoxiao said, he didn't hesitate at all. He thanked Su Xiaoxiao and even forgot to say hello to Tong Lijuan. He ran out of Simon and told Geng Yibiao, who was waiting in front of the car at the door, to look after Su Xiaoxiao and Xia Ruhua.
, hailed a rickshaw and went straight to the detective agency.
Tong Lijuan was a little curious and unhappy when she noticed that Yingzi had left in a hurry.
But Amei Tong saw a different meaning, thinking that she was a wild girl who should have been in Shanghai not long ago. Seeing that the dress did not look like an ordinary girl, she asked her niece Yingzi's background.
Tong Lijuan picked out the important ones.
Tong A-mei is very good at grasping the key points of conversations. She is very interested in the keyword "escape" and feels that this is a talent that can be made. She has a good foundation and can make her debut in less than half a month with some training in her own hands.
Soon he will become the number one in his place. He has no foundation in Shanghai yet, so he should be able to control it. In this way, his money will flow in.
Amei Tong asked Tong Lijuan if she was familiar with Yingzi.
Tong Lijuan immediately understood what this aunt meant.
This aunt is not an ordinary person. Her life today is all the foundation laid by her aunt.
Their family is from the countryside of Suzhou. Guoqiaobang is an enclave of no one cares about others. It is close to Shanghai. When the folk customs first started, the place prospered overnight. First there were various food streets, and later there were chicken houses.
The opium den, as well as various supporting facilities, became famous in Shanghai and Ningbo for a while. When Tong Amei was just fifteen years old, her father contracted tuberculosis and died. Originally, her family had several acres of paddy fields, which was just enough for food and clothing. She also had an older brother who had been with her since she was a child.
His health was not very good and he could not work in the fields, so his family asked him to learn tailoring. He opened a small tailor shop in the town of Guoqiaobang, got married and had children, and started his own business. After his father died, the family fields became
There was no one to farm anymore. Her mother, Tong Liang, was not engaged in farming, but she allowed her younger brother, Tong Dasheng, to wander around in the streets, so she bought the land. The three of them just sat there and ate the land. Tong Liang complained all day about giving birth to a girl, a girl.
The person who filled in the living money, Tong Amei, was a very kind-hearted woman. She couldn't bear her mother's nagging all day long, so she went to work as a helper in a bookstore in the town. They took care of food and accommodation, so she could escape her mother. All she had to do was give the money to her family.
The fates of Tong A-mei and Shen Yue'e were very similar. From being a helper to becoming the owner of a study apartment, this was the upward path for many girls from poor families and some pretty girls. But Tong A-mei had more means, and by chance, she rose even further.
Just quick.
Later, several businessmen jointly bought the enclave, almost encompassing Guoqiaobang. In order to sell the newly developed houses more easily, a road was built to connect Shanghai and Nanjing. The owner of the book apartment took the demolition fee
The money has landed, and the sisters inside have also dispersed.
At this time, Amei Tong was faced with a choice between life and death. If she went left, she would just go to Shanghai and return to her old career and create greater glory; if she went right, she would return to her hometown in the countryside, marry Fu Gen, who was already in love with her from the same village, and wear clothes, eat, farm, and have children.
However, she decisively turned left.
Amei Tong is a maverick and responsible woman. She got on the train from Shanghai to Nanjing and it was already midnight when she arrived in Shanghai.
He got off the bus at Zhabei. Unaccompanied, she didn't know where to go and just planned to spend the night at the station.
However, it was this night that demonstrated the entire essence of traditional Chinese philosophy.
Let me first say that blessings come in pairs and misfortunes never come alone.
At that time, there were state-owned regular troops stationed in Zhabei area. Qin Liansheng was the platoon leader of a certain platoon and was responsible for the defense near Zhabei Station. In this way, Tong Amei was taken in by the platoon leader Qin as a "three noes" personnel and imprisoned in the original prison.
A special confinement room for soldiers who violate discipline.
Besides, misfortunes are where blessings depend. Fortunes are where misfortunes lie.
It was midsummer at that time, and the summer in Shanghai was sultry and humid. The confinement room was only a small space, and the sweltering heat was the only memory of her life.
The harshness of the natural environment often destroys the dignity of civilization.
Amei Tong has been immersed in the study apartment for many years, and of course she knows the role of a woman's clothes, but at this time she couldn't care about that, so she took off her woolen blue blouse, leaving only a silk close-fitting gown.
Even though Amei Tong is thin and tall, she still has what she wants. She is not inferior to other women at all, and she has a unique style. In addition, she is in the prime of her life, when she is full of youth.
This made Tan Liansheng, who had originally planned to come and let her go, still be able to hold on and did everything he could in this small space that was still full of urine smell.
Amei Tong helped the study room, if I had known that women, no matter how noble you are, will end up like this sooner or later, not to mention you are not noble now. I have heard how wonderful this is, and I have had the idea of trying it.
A handsome and strong coachman. She couldn't even remember that handsome guy's name.
Since there is someone who wants Platoon Leader Qin who has a gun, let him give it to him. He also tries to cater to him and wants to realize the beauty of what others say.
Also, it is a blessing, not a curse, it is a disaster that cannot be avoided and a blessing in disguise.
After Tan Liansheng was as gentle as jade and had tasted all the rain, dew and sweet rain, he wanted to stay together forever, so he hid him in a small hotel and played and sang every night.
A few days later, after the fun was over, but still feeling uneasy, Tong Amei said, this hotel is nice and convenient for meeting, but after all, it is not home, and I feel uneasy. If I have my own house, I can enjoy it as much as I want.
De Huanxi didn’t have to worry about military and police rounds or anything like that. He also said that he came out from home with some silver coins. The platoon leader was familiar with the area and someone had a gun. He was not afraid of being tricked by others, so he went to rent a small room first.
live.
When Tan Liansheng was in a state of passion, he was anxious to vomit his saliva, so he said with great enthusiasm, "There will be a house, and there will be money. Don't worry, I am here, where will your money be used?" Then...
Tan Liansheng was a shameless man. Within a week, he bought an apartment with a three-bedroom apartment in Shaibuli, two miles away from where he lived, and the two started living as a couple.
After some time, Tong Xiaomei saw a news in a newspaper from a week ago, saying that the Jin Dafu Silver Building in Minhang was robbed, and the waiter on duty was shot and seriously injured, and his life was in danger.
Tong A-mei was thoughtful at the time, but she still put the newspaper in the stove and lit it, and they still lived a happy life. However, past experiences made Tong A-mei think about luxury after she got stability, but luxury is necessary
It was supported by the tickets. So, the matter about the tickets was put on the agenda again.
But although Tan Liansheng still has people and guns, and was promoted to company commander, Jin Dafu's matter cannot be normalized, otherwise it will lead to loss of head. Therefore, Tong Amei has to figure out a solution for the money matter, because she was the one who caused it
This kind of demand.
So Amei Tong wrote to her old sisters in Daqiaobang, telling them that people in Shanghai are stupid and have too much money, so come quickly.
But most of the sisters in Daqiao Bang got some demolition compensation and went ashore. They exchanged letters, but in the end only one came. His book apartment was a bit lonely, and sometimes he had to go to the end himself, although he kept the bottom line.
: Tan Liansheng must not be allowed to know, but you can know this with your buttocks. If you often stand by the river, how can your shoes not get wet?
However, Tan Liansheng is also open-minded. As long as it doesn't hit him in the face, he just pretends that he doesn't know. Sometimes he can extort a lot of money by making insinuations, and he can still be cool with it outside. This situation of soft food and hard food has been maintained for many years.
, and it is precisely because of this that he has been putting off his request for Tong Amei's marriage for various reasons.
Over and over again, Tong Amei has lost her youth. The matter of getting married is just a gimmick. She occasionally uses it to threaten Tan Liansheng, so she doesn't take it seriously. With a man as a sign, she can avoid being bullied by others and can gain happiness in many ways. Why?
What about enjoying it but not doing it? In this way, Tong Amei's mentality began to change.
What bothered her recently was that although she tried her best to use her talents to lure women from good families into seduction, and there were indeed many successful cases, the world was changing too fast, and people's hearts were not as old as they used to be. The girl in her study apartment...
It takes almost three months for a new job to be replaced. Although the key to success in this industry is fresh blood, it is too fast. People leave as soon as they become familiar with it.
No, some time ago, Qiu Manli, who had done the longest job and was trained by her own leader, also started her own business and became her competitor. She originally planned to let her niece Tai Lijuan inherit her mantle, but Tong Lijuan didn't seem to think much of her.
I thought my career was too low-paying and unromantic, so I was only willing to work part-time.
When I saw Yingzi today, I thought in my heart that this is a gift from God. It is rare that this little girl is so interested in jewelry. Her experience is that women who are interested in things that can enhance their beauty are very easy to hunt.
But she didn't know that Yingzi's interest in jewelry was just the necklace.
And this necklace was just given to her by Tan Liansheng, who had always been with her and seemed to be her first love.
