  “打狗要看主人面,那麽,打貓要看主婦面了--”頤𠔌這樣譬釋着,想把心上一團蓬
  勃的憤怒象梳理亂發似的平順下去。誠然,主婦的面,到現在還沒瞧見,反正那混帳貓兒也
  不知躲到哪裏去了,也無從打他。衹算自己晦氣,整整兩個半天的工夫全白費了。李先生在
  睡午覺,照例近三點鐘纔會進書房。頤𠔌滿肚子憋着的怒氣,那時都冷了,覺得非趁熱發泄
  一下不可。湊巧老白送茶進來,頤𠔌指着桌子上抓得千瘡百孔的稿子,字句流離散失得象大
  轟炸後的市民,說:“你瞧,我回去吃頓飯,出了這個亂子!我臨去把謄清的稿子給李先生
  過目,誰知他看完了就擱在我桌子上,沒放在抽屜裏,現在又得重抄了。”
  
   老白聽話時的點頭一變而為搖頭,嘆口微氣說:“那可就糟啦!這準是‘淘氣’幹的。
  ‘淘氣’可真淘氣!太太慣了它,誰也不敢碰它根毛。齊先生,您回頭告訴老爺,別讓‘淘
  氣’到書房裏來。”他躬着背蠕緩地出去了。
  
   “淘氣”就是那鬧事的貓。它在東皇城根窮人傢裏,原叫做‘小黑’。李太太嫌‘小
  黑’的稱謂太俗,又笑說:“那跟門房‘老白’不成了一對兒麽?老白聽了要生氣的”。貓
  送到城南長街李傢那天,李太太正在請朋友們茶會,來客都想給它起個好聽的名字。一個愛
  慕李太太的詩人說“:在西洋文藝復興的時候,標準美人都要生得黑,我們讀莎士比亞和法
  國七星派詩人的十四行詩,就知道使他們顛倒的都是些黑美人。我個人也覺得黑比白來得神
  秘,富於含蓄和誘惑。一嚮中國人喜歡女人皮膚白,那是幼稚的審美觀念,好比小孩衹愛吃
  奶,沒資格喝咖啡。這衹貓又黑又美,不妨藉莎士比亞詩裏的現成名字,叫它‘darkl
  ady’,再雅緻沒有了。”有兩個客人聽了彼此做個鬼臉,因為這詩人說話明明雙關着女
  主人。李太太自然極高興,衹嫌“darklady”名字太長。她受過美國式的教育,養
  成一種逢人叫小名以表親昵的習氣,就是見了莎士比亞的面,她也會叫他bill,何況貓
  呢?所以她采用詩人的提議,同時來個簡稱,叫“Darkie。”大傢一致叫:
  “妙!”,這貓聽許多人學自己的叫聲,莫名其妙,也和着叫:“妙!妙!”(miao
  w!miaow!)沒人想到這簡稱的意義並非“黑美人”,而正是李太太嫌俗的“小
  黑”。一個大名鼎鼎的老頭子,當場一言不發,回傢翻了半夜的書,明天清早趕來看李太
  太,講詩人的壞話道:“他懂什麽?我當時不好意思跟他擡扛,所以忍住沒有講。中國人一
  嚮也喜歡黑裏俏的美人,就象妲己,古文作‘[黑旦]己’,就是說她又黑又美。[黑旦]
  己剛是‘Darkie’的音譯,並且也譯了意思。哈哈!太巧了,太巧了!”這貓仗着女
  主人的愛,專鬧亂子,不上一星期,它的外國名字叫滑了口,變為跟Darkie雙聲疊韻
  的混名:“淘氣”。所以,好象時髦教會學校的學生,這畜生中西名字,一應俱全,而且未
  死已蒙謚法--混名。它到李傢不足兩年,在這兩年裏,日本霸占了東三省,北平的行政機
  構改組了一次,非洲亡了一個國,興了一個帝國,國際聯盟暴露了真相,衹算一個國際聯夢
  或者一群國際聯盲,但是李太太並沒有換丈夫,淘氣還保持着主人的寵愛和自己的頑皮。在
  這變故反復的世界裏,多少人對主義和信仰能有同樣的恆心呢?
  
   這是齊頤𠔌做李建侯試用私人秘書的第三天,可是還沒瞻仰過那位有名的李太太。要講
  這位李太太,我們非得用國語文法傢所謂“最上級形容詞”不可。在一切有名的太太裏,她
  長相最好看,她為人最風流豪爽,她客廳的陳設最講究,她請客的次數最多,請客的菜和茶
  點最精緻豐富,她的交遊最廣。並且,她的丈夫最馴良,最不礙事。假使我們在這些纔具之
  外,更申明她住在戰前的北平,你馬上獲得結論:她是全世界文明頂古的國傢裏第一位高雅
  華貴的太太。因為北平--明清兩代的名士象湯若士、謝在杭們所咒詛為最俗、最髒的北京
  --在戰事前幾年忽然被公認為全國最文雅、最美麗的城市。甚至無風三尺的北平塵土,也
  一變而為古色古香,似乎包含着元明清三朝帝國的劫灰,歐美新興小邦的歷史博物館都派人
  來裝了瓶子回去陳列。首都南遷以後,北平失掉它一嚮政治上的作用;同時,象一切無用過
  時的東西,它變為有歷史價值的陳設品。宛如一個七零八落的舊貨攤改稱為五光十色的古玩
  鋪,雖然實際上毫無差異,在主顧的心理上卻起了極大的變化。逛舊貨攤去買便宜東西,多
  少寒窘!但是要上古玩鋪你非有錢不可,還得有好古癖,還得有鑒別力。這樣,本來不屑撿
  舊貨的人現在都來買古玩了,本來不得已而光顧舊貨攤的人現在也添了身分,算是收藏古董
  的雅士了。那時候你衹要在北平住傢,就充得通品,就可以嚮南京或上海的朋友誇傲,仿佛
  是個頭銜和資格。說上海和南京會産生藝術和文化,正象說頭腦以外的手足或腰腹也會思想
  一樣的可笑。周口店“北京人”遺骸的發現,更證明了北平居住者的優秀。“北京人”是猴
  子裏最進步的,有如北平人是中國人裏最文明的。因此當時報紙上鬧什麽“京派”,知識分
  子們上溯到“北京人”為開派祖師,所以北京雖然改名北平,他們不自稱“平派”。京派差
  不多全是南方人。那些南方人對於他們僑居北平的得意,仿佛猶太人愛他們入籍歸化的國
  傢,不住地挂在口頭上。遷居到北平以來,李太太腳上沒發過濕氣,這是住在文化中心的意
  外利益。
  
   李氏夫婦的父親都是前清遺老,李太太的父親有名,李先生的父親有錢。李太太的父親
  在辛亥革命前個把月放了什麽省的藩臺,滿心想弄幾個錢來彌補歷年的虧空。武昌起義好像
  專跟他搗亂似的,他把民國恨得咬牙切齒。幸而他有個門生,失節作了民國的大官,每月送
  筆孝敬給他。他住在上海租界裏,抱過去的思想,享受現代的生活,預用着未來的錢--賒
  了賬等月費匯來了再還。他漸漸悟出寓公自有生財之道。今天暴發戶替兒子辦喜事要證婚,
  明天洋行買辦死了母親要點主,都用得着前清的遺老,謝儀往往可抵月費的數目。妙在買辦
  的母親死不盡,暴發戶的兒子全養得大。他文理平常,寫字也不出色,但是他發現衹要蓋幾
  個自己的官銜圖章,“某年進士”,“某省布政使”,他的字和文章就有人出大價錢來求。
  他纔知道清朝亡得有代價,遺老值得一做,心平氣和,也肯送女兒進洋學堂念書了。李先生
  的父親和他是同鄉,極早就講洋務,做候補道時上過“富國裕民”的條陳,奉憲委到上海嚮
  洋人定購機器,清朝亡得太早,沒領略到條陳的好處,他衹富裕了自己。他也曾做出洋遊歷
  的隨員,回國以後,把考察所得,歸納為四句傳傢格言:“吃中國菜,住西洋房子,娶日本
  老婆,人生無遺憾矣!”他親傢的貫通過去、現在、未來,正配得上他的融會中國、東洋、
  西洋。誰知道建侯那糊塗蟲,把老子的傢訓記顛倒了。第一,他娶了西洋化的老婆,比西洋
  老婆更難應付。愛默在美國人辦的時髦女學畢業,本來是毛得撩人、刺人的毛丫頭,經過
  “二毛子”的訓練,她不但不服從丈夫,並且丈夫一個人來侍候她還嫌不夠。第二,他夫婦
  倆都自信是文明人,不得不到北平來住中國式的舊房子,設備當然沒有上海來得洋化。第
  三,他吃日本菜得了胃病。這事說來話長。李太太從小對自己的面貌有兩點不滿意:皮膚不
  是上白,眼皮不雙。第一點還無關緊要,因為她根本不希罕那種又紅又白的洋娃娃臉,她覺
  得原有的相貌已經夠可愛了。單眼皮呢,確是極大的缺陷,內心的豐富沒有充分流露的工
  具,宛如大陸國沒有海港,物産不易出口。進了學校,她纔知道單眼皮是日本女人的國徽,
  因此那個足智多謀、偷天換日的民族建立美容醫院,除掉身子的長短沒法充分改造,“倭
  奴”的國號衹好忍受,此外面部器官無不可以修補,醜的變美,怪物改成妖精。李先生嚮她
  求婚,她提出許多條件,第十八條就是蜜月旅行到日本。一到日本,她進醫院去修改眼皮,
  附帶把左頰的酒靨加深。她知道施了手術,要兩星期見不得人,怕李先生耐不住蜜月期間的
  孤寂,在這浪漫的國傢裏,不為自己守節;所以進醫院前對李先生說:“你知道,我這次跨
  海徵東,千裏迢迢來受痛苦,無非為你,要討你喜歡。我的臉也就是你的面子。我蒙了眼,
  又痛又黑暗,你好意思一個人住在外面吃喝玩樂麽?你愛我,你得聽我的話。你不許跟人到
  處亂跑。還有,你最貪嘴,可是我進醫院後,你別上中國館子,大菜也別吃,衹許頓頓吃日
  本料理。你答應我不?算你愛我,陪我受苦,我痛的時候心上也有些安慰。吃得壞些,你可
  以清心寡欲,不至於胡闹,糟蹋了身子。你個兒不高,吃得太胖了,不好看。你背了我騙
  我,我會知道,從此不跟你好。”兩星期後,建侯到醫院算賬並迎接夫人,身體卻未消瘦,
  衹是臉黃皮寬,無精打采,而李太太花五百元日金新買來的眼睛,好象美術照相的電光,把
  她原有的美貌都煥映烘托出來。她眼睫跟眼睛合作的各種姿態,開,閉,明,暗,尖利,朦
  朧,使建侯看得出神,疑心她兩眼裏躲着兩位專傢在科學管理,要不然轉移不會那樣斬截,
  表情不會那樣準確,效果不會那樣的估計精密。建侯本來是他父親的兒子,從今以後全副精
  神做他太太的丈夫。朋友們私議過,李太太那樣漂亮,怎會嫁給建侯。有建侯的錢和傢世而
  比建侯能幹的人,並非絶對沒有。事實上,天並沒配錯他們倆。做李太太這一類女人的丈
  夫,是第三百六十一行終身事業,專門職務,比做大夫還要忙,比做挑夫還要纍,不容許有
  旁的興趣和人生目標。旁人雖然背後嘲笑建侯,說他“夫以妻貴”,沾了太太的光,算個小
  名人。李太太從沒這樣想過。建侯對太太的虛榮心不是普通男人占有美貌妻子、做主人翁的
  得意,而是一種被占有、做下人的得意,好比闊人傢的婢僕、大人物的親隨、或者殖民地行
  政機關裏的土著雇員對外界的賣弄。這種被占有的虛榮心是做丈夫的人最稀有的美德,能使
  他氣量大、心眼兒寬。李太太深知缺少這個丈夫不得;仿佛亞刺伯數碼的零號,本身毫無價
  值,但是沒有它,十百千萬都不能成立。因為任何數目背後加個零號便進了一位,所以零號
  也跟着那數目而意義重大了。
  
   結婚十年來,李先生心廣體胖,太太稱他好丈夫,太太的朋友說他夠朋友。上個月裏,
  他無意中受了刺激。在一個大宴會上,一位冒失的年輕劇作傢和他夫婦倆同席。這位尚未出
  頭的劇作傢知道同席有李太太,透明地露出滿腔榮幸。他又要恭維李太太,又要賣弄才情,
  一張嘴簡直分不出空來吃菜。上第三道菜時,他蒙李太太惠許上門拜訪,願償心定,可以把
  一部份註意力轉移到吃飯上去。心難二用,他已經夠忙了;實在顧不到建侯,沒和他敷衍。
  建侯心上十分不快,回傢後嘀咕說這年輕人不通世故。那小子真說到就做,第二天帶了一包
  稿子趕上門來,指名要見李太太。建侯忽然發了傻孩子勁,躲在客堂外面偷聽。衹聽他寒暄
  以後,看見沙發上睡的淘氣,便失聲驚嘆,贊美這貓兒“真可愛!真幸福!”把稿子“請
  教”以後,他打聽常來的幾個客人,說有機會都想一見。李太太泛泛說過些時候請他喝茶,
  大傢認識認識。他還不走,又轉到淘氣身上,說他自己也最愛貓,貓是理智、情感、勇敢三
  德全備的動物:它撲滅老鼠,象除暴安良的俠客;它靜坐念佛,象沉思悟道的哲學家;它叫
  春求偶,又象抒情歌唱的詩人;他還說什麽暹羅貓和波斯貓最好,可是淘氣超過它們。總而
  言之,他恭維了李太太,贊美淘氣,就沒有一句話問到李先生。這事喚起建侯的反省,悶悶
  不樂了兩天,對於個人生活下了改造的决心。從今以後,他不願藉太太的光,要自己有個領
  域,或做官,或著作。經過幾番盤算,他想先動手著作,一來表示自己並非假充斯文,再則
  著作也可導致做官。他定了這個計劃,最初不敢告訴太太,怕她潑冷水。一天他忍不住說
  了,李太太出乎意料地贊成,說:”你要有表現,這也是時候了。我一嚮太自私,沒顧到耽
  誤了你的事業!你以後專心著作,不用陪着我外面跑。”
  
   著作些什麽呢?建侯頭腦並不太好,當學生時,老嚮同學藉抄講堂筆記,在外國的畢業
  論文還是花錢雇猶太人包工的。結婚以後,接觸的人多了,他聽熟了許多時髦的名詞和公
  式,能在談話中適當地應用,作為個人的意見。其實一般名著的內容,也不過如此。建侯錯
  過了少年時期,沒有冒冒失失寫書寫文章,現在把著作看得太嚴重了,有中年婦女要養頭胎
  那樣的擔心。他仔細考慮最適宜的體裁。頭腦不好,沒有思想,沒有理想;可是大著作有時
  全不需要好頭腦,衹需要好屁股,聽鄭須溪說,德國人就把“坐臀”(Sitzfleisch)作為
  知識分子的必具條件。譬如,衹要有坐性,水滸傳或紅樓夢的人名引得總可以不費心編成
  的。這是西洋科學方法,更是二十世紀學問工具,衹可惜編引得是大學生或小編輯員的事,
  不值得親自動手。此外衹有寫食譜了。在這一點上自己無疑的是個權威,太太請客非自己提
  調不可,朋友們的推服更不必說。因為有胃病,又戒絶了煙酒,舌頭的感覺愈加敏銳,對於
  口味的審美愈加嚴明。並且一頓好飯,至少要吃它三次:事前預想着它的滋味,先在理想中
  吃了一次;吃時守着醫生的警告不敢放量,所以戀戀不捨;到事後回憶餘味,又在追想裏吃
  了一次。經過這樣一再而三的咀嚼,菜的隱惡和私德,揭發無遺。是的,自己若肯寫食譜,
  準會把薩梵冷(Brillat-Savarin)壓倒。提起梵薩冷,心上又有不快的聯想。薩梵冷的名
  字還是前年聽陳俠君講的。那時候,這個討厭傢夥已算傢裏的慣客了。他知道自己講究吃,
  一天帶了初版薩梵冷的名著Physiologiedugout(《口味生理學》)來相送。自己早把法語
  忘光了,冒失地嚷:“你錯了!我害胃病,不害風痛病,這本講gout的生理學對我毫無用
  處。”那傢夥的笑聲到現在還忘不了。他惡意地對愛默說:“你們先生不翻譯,太可惜了!
  改天你嚮傅聚卿講,聘建侯當《世界名著集成》的特約翻譯,有了稿費請客。”可恨愛默也
  和着他笑。寫食譜的興致,給這事掃盡了。並且,現代人講吃經决算不得正經事業,俠君曾
  開頑笑說:“外國製茶葉和咖啡的洋行裏,都重價雇用‘辨味員’,沏了各種茶,煮了各種
  咖啡,請他嘗過,然後分等級,定價錢。這種人一天總得喝百把杯茶或咖啡,幸而衹在舌頭
  上打個轉就吐出來,不咽下去,否則非瀉肚子,失眠不可。你有現成的胃病,反正是嘴饞不
  落肚的,可惜大飯店裏沒有‘辨味員’的職務,不聘你去做廚房審定委員,埋沒了你那條舌
  頭!”寫食譜這事若給他知道,就有得打趣了。想來想去,還是寫歐美遊記,既有益,更有
  趣,是兼軟硬性的作品。寫遊記不妨請人幫忙,而不必聲明合作,衹要本人確曾遊過歐美,
  藉旁人的手來代寫印象,那算不得什麽一回事。好比演講集的著作權,速寫的記錄員是絲毫
  無分的。這跟自己怕動筆的的脾氣最相宜沒有。先用個私人書記再說,頂好是未畢業而想賺
  錢的大學生。
  
   那時候,齊頤𠔌學校裏的愛國分子鬧得兇,給軍警逮捕了一大批去,加上罪名坐監牢。
  頤𠔌本來膽小,他寡母又怕兒子給同學們牽纍,暫時停學在傢。經過輾轉介紹,四天前第一
  次上建侯的門。這個十九歲的大孩子,藍布大褂,圓桶西裝褲子,方頭黑皮鞋,習慣把左手
  插在褲子口袋裏,壓得不甚平伏的頭髮,頗討人喜歡的臉一進門就紅着,一雙眼睛冒牌地黑
  而亮,因為他的內心和智力絶對配不上他瞳子的深沉、靈活。建侯極中意這個少年,略問幾
  句,吩咐他明天來開始幹活,先試用一個月。頤𠔌走後,建侯一團高興,進去嚮愛默講挑了
  一個中意的書記。愛默笑他像小孩子新得了玩具,還說:“我有淘氣,誰希罕你的書記!”
  臉在淘氣身上擦着問:“咱們不希罕他的書記,是不是?--啊呀!不好了,真討厭!”李
  太太臉上的粉給淘氣舔了一口去,她摔下貓,站起來去照鏡子。
  
   頤𠔌到李傢這兩天半裏,和建侯還相得。怕羞的他,見了建侯,倒不很畏縮。建侯自會
  說話以來,一生從沒碰見任何人肯讓他不斷的發言,肯象頤𠔌那樣嚴肅地、耐心地、興奮地
  聽他講。他一嚮也沒知道自己竟有這樣滔滔汩汩的口才。這兩天,他的自尊心象插進傷寒病
  人嘴裏的溫度表,直升上去。他纔領會到私人秘書的作用,有秘書的人會覺得自己放大了幾
  倍,擡高了幾層。他跟頤𠔌先討論這遊記的名稱和寫法,順便講了許多洋景緻。所以第一天
  到了吃午飯的時候,頤𠔌已經知道建侯在美國做學生時交遊怎樣廣,每年要花多少錢,大學
  功課怎樣難,畢業怎樣不容易;機器文明多少可驚,怎樣紐約一市的汽車銜接起來可以繞地
  球一周;他如何對美國人宣揚中國,他穿了什麽顔色和花紋的中國長袍去參加化裝跳舞會;
  他在外國生病,房東太太怎樣天天煨雞給自己吃,一個美國女孩子怎樣天天送鮮花,花裏還
  附問病的紙條兒,上面打着“×”號--“你懂麽?”建侯嘻開嘴,滿臉頑皮地問頤𠔌,
  “你去請教你的女朋友,她會知道這是kiss的記號。在西洋社交公開,這事平常得
  很!”遊記的題目也算擬定了兩個,《西遊記》或《歐美漫步》,前者來得渾成,後者來得
  時髦。當天頤𠔌吃了午飯回來辦公,又知道要寫這篇遊記,在筆述建侯的印象以外,還得參
  考美國《國傢地理學會雜志》、《旅行雜志》、“必得過”(Baedeker)和“沒來”
  (Murray)兩公司出版的大城市指南,尋材料來補充。明天上午,建侯纔决定這遊記該倒
  寫,不寫出國,而寫回國,怎樣從美國到歐洲漫遊,在意大利乘船回中國。他的理由是,一
  般人的遊記,都從出國寫起,上了輪船,一路東張西望,少見多怪,,十足不見世面的小傢
  子氣;自己在美洲住了三年,對於西洋文明要算老內行了,換個國傢去玩玩,雖然見到些新
  鮮事物和排場,不致象鄉下人初到大都市,咋舌驚嘆,有失身份。他說:“回國時的遊歷,
  至少象林黛玉初入榮國府,而出國時的遊歷呢,怕免不了象劉姥姥一進大觀園。”頤𠔌曾給
  朋友們拉去聽京戲大名旦拿手的《黛玉葬花》,所以也見過身體豐滿結實的林黛玉(仿佛
  《續紅樓夢》裏警幻仙子給林黛玉吃的強身健美靈丹,黛玉提早服了來葬花似的),但是看
  建侯口講指劃,自比林黛玉,忍不住笑了。建侯愈加得意,頤𠔌忙說:“李先生,這樣,遊
  記的題目又得改了。”建侯想了想,說:“巧得很,前天報上看見有人在翻譯英國哈代的小
  說《還鄉記》,這名稱倒也現成;我這部書就叫《海客還鄉記》,你瞧好不好!”一頓飯
  後,建侯忽然要把自序先寫;按例,印在書前的自序是全書完稿後纔寫的。頤𠔌暗想,這又
  是倒寫法。建侯口述意見,頤𠔌記下來,整理,發揮,修改,直到淘氣出亂子那天的午飯
  時,纔謄清了給建侯過目。經過這兩天半的工作,頤𠔌對建侯的敬畏心理消失幹淨。青年人
  的偏激使他對他的主人不留情地鄙視;他看到了建侯的無聊、虛榮、理智上的貧乏,忽視了
  建侯為人和待人的好處。他該感激建侯肯出相當高的價錢雇自己來幹這種不急之務;他衹恨
  建侯倚仗有錢,犧牲青年人的時間和精力來替他寫無意義的東西。當時他對着貓抓破的稿
  子,衹好捺住脾氣再抄寫一次。也許淘氣這畜生倒是位有識、有膽的批評傢,它的摧殘文物
  的行為,安知不是對這篇稿子最痛快有效的批評呢?想到這裏,頤𠔌苦笑了。
  
   建侯知道了這事,同情以外,還嚮頤𠔌道歉自己的疏忽。頤𠔌再沒理由氣憤了。過一天
  早晨,建侯一見頤𠔌,就說:“今天下午四點半鐘,內人請你喝茶。”頤𠔌客氣地傻笑着,
  真覺得受寵若驚。建侯接着說:“她本想認識你,昨天晚上我對她講了淘氣跟你搗亂,她十
  分抱歉,把淘氣駡了一頓。今天剛有茶會,順便請你進去談談。”這使頤𠔌自慚形穢起來,
  想自己不懂禮節,沒有講究衣服,晉見時髦太太,準鬧笑話,他推辭說:“都是生人,我去
  不好意思。”建侯和藹地說:“沒有什麽不好意思。今天來的都是你聽見過的人,衹有在我
  傢裏,你纔會看見他們聚在一起。你不要錯過機會。我有事要出去,請你把第一章關於紐約
  的資料收集起來。到四點半,我來領你進去。假如我不來,你叫老白作嚮導。”頤𠔌整半天
  什麽事也沒心思做,幸而建侯不在,可以無忌憚地怠工。很希望接觸那許多名字有電磁力的
  人,而又害怕他們笑自己,瞧不起自己。最好是由建侯帶領進去,羞怯還好象有個緩衝;如
  果請老白領路,一無保障地進客廳,那就窘了。萬一建侯不來,非叫到老白不可,問題就多
  了!假使準時進去,旁的客人都沒到,女主人定要冷笑,吃東西時的早到和遲退,需要打仗
  時搶先和斷後那樣的勇氣,自己不敢冒這個險。假如客人都來了,自己後去,衆目所註,更
  受不了。想來想去,衹有一個辦法,四時半左右,積伶着耳朵聽門鈴響。老白引客人到客
  廳,得經過書房。第一個客人來,自己就緊跟着進去;女主人和客人都忙着彼此應酬,自己
  不致在他們註意焦點下局促不安。
  
   到時候是建侯來陪他進去的。一進客廳,頤𠔌臉就漲紅,眼睛前起了層水氣,模糊地知
  道有個時髦女人含笑和自己招呼。坐下去後,頤𠔌註視地毯,沒力量擡眼看李太太一下,
  緊張地覺着她在對面,忽然發現自己的腳伸得太出,忙縮回來,臉上的紅又深了一個影子。
  他也沒聽清李太太在講淘氣什麽話。李太太看頤𠔌這樣怕羞,有些帶憐憫的喜歡,想這孩子
  一定平日沒跟女人打過交道,就問:“齊先生,你學校裏是不是男女同學的?”李太太明知
  道在這個年頭兒,不收女人的學校正象收留女人的和尚寺一樣的沒有品。
  
   “不是的——”
  
   “呀?”李太太倒詫異了。
  
   “是的,是的!”頤𠔌絶望地矯正自己。李太太跟建侯做個眼色,沒說什麽,衹嚮頤𠔌
  一笑。這笑是愛默專為頤𠔌而發的。象天橋打拳人賣的狗皮膏藥和歐美朦朧派作的詩,這笑
  裏的藴蓄,豐富得真是說起來叫人不信。它含有安慰、保護、喜歡、鼓勵等等成分。頤𠔌還
  不敢正眼看愛默,愛默的笑,恰如勝利祈禱、慈善捐款等好心好意的施與,對方並未受到好
  處。老白又引客人進來,愛默起身招待,心還逗留在這長得聰明的孩子身上,想他該是受情
  感教育的年紀了。建侯拍頤𠔌的肩說:“別拘謹!”李氏夫婦瞭解頤𠔌怕生,來了客人,
  浮泛地指着介紹,遠遠打個招呼,讓他坐在不惹人註目的靠壁沙發裏。頤𠔌漸漸鬆弛下來,
  瞻仰着這些久聞大名的來客。
  
   高個子大聲說話的是馬用中,有名的政論傢,每天在《正論報》上發表社評。國際或國
  內起什麽政治變動,他事後總能證明這恰在他意料之中,或者他曾暗示地預言過。名氣大
  了,他的口氣也大了。尤其在私人談話時,你覺得他不是政論傢,簡直是政治傢,不但能談
  國內外的政情,並且講來活象他就是舉足輕重的個中人,仿佛天文臺上的氣象預測者說,
  風或下雨自己都作得主一樣。他曾在文章裏公開告訴讀者一樁生活習慣:每天晚上他在上床
  睡覺以前,總把日曆當天的一張撕掉,不象一般人,一夜醒來看見的還是沒有撕去“昨日之
  日”。從這個小節,你能推想他自以為是什麽樣的人。這幾天來中日關係緊張,他不愁社論
  沒有題目。
  
   斜靠在沙發上,翹着腳抽煙斗的是袁友春。他自小給外國傳教士帶了出洋。跟着這些迂
  腐的洋人,傳染上洋氣裏最土氣的教會和青年會氣。承他情瞧得起祖國文化,回國以後,就
  嚮那方面花工夫。他認為中國舊文明的代表,就是小玩意、小聰明、幫閑湊趣的清客,所以
  他的宗旨仿佛義和拳的“扶清滅洋”,高擱起洋教的大道理,而提倡陳眉公,王百𠔌等的清
  客作風。讀他的東西,總有一種吃代用品的感覺,好比塗面包的植物油,衝湯的味精。更象
  在外國所開中國飯館裏的“雜碎”,衹有沒吃過地道中國菜的人,會上當認為是中華風味。
  他哄了本國的外行人,也哄了外國人——那不過是外行人穿上西裝。他最近發表了許多講中
  國民族心理的文章,把人類公共的本能都認為中國人的特質。他的煙斗是有名的,文章裏時
  常提起它,說自己的靈感全靠抽煙,好比李太白的詩篇都從酒裏來。有人說他抽的怕不是板
  煙,而是鴉片,所以看到他的文章,就象鴉片癮來,直打呵欠,又象服了麻醉劑似的,衹想
  瞌睡。又說,他的作品不該在書店裏賣,應當在藥房裏作為安眠藥品發售,比“羅明那兒”
  (Luminal),“渥太兒”(Ortal)都起作用而沒有副作用。這些話都是忌妒他的人說的,
  當然作不得準。
  
   這許多背後講他刻薄話的人裏,有和他互相吹捧的朋友陸伯麟,就是那個留一小撮日本
  鬍子的老頭兒。他雖沒講起抽板煙,但他的臉色衹有假定他抽煙來解釋。他兩眼下的黑圈不
  但顔色象煙熏出來的,並且綫形也象繚繞彎麯、引人思緒的煙篆。至於他鼻尖上黯淡的紅
  色,衹譬如蝦蟹烘到熱氣的結果。除掉嚮日葵以外,天下怕沒有象陸伯麟那樣親日的人或東
  西。一嚮中國人對日本文明的態度是不得已而求其次,因為西洋太遠,衹能把日本偷工減料
  的文明來將就。陸伯麟深知這種態度妨礙着自己的前程,悟出一條妙法。中國人買了日本貨
  來代替西洋貨,心上還鄙夷不屑,而西洋人常買了日本古玩當中國珍品,在倫敦和巴黎舊貨
  店裏就陳列着日本絲織的女人睡衣,上面綉條蟠竜,標明慈禧太後御用。衹有宣傳西洋人的
  這種觀點,纔會博得西洋留學生對自己另眼相看。中國人抱了偏見,瞧不起模仿西洋的近代
  日本,他就提倡模仿中國的古代日本。日本文明學西洋象了,人傢說它欠缺創造力;學中國
  沒有象,他偏說這別有風味,自成風格,值得中國人學習,好比說酸酒兼有釅醋之妙一樣。
  更進一步,他竟把醋作為標準酒。中國文物不帶盆景、俳句、茶道的氣息的,都給他駡得一
  文不值。他主張作人作文都該有風趣。可惜他寫的又象中文又象日文的“大東亞文”,達不
  出他的風趣來,因此有名地“耐人尋味”。袁友春在背後曾說,讀他的東西,衹覺得他千方
  百計要有風趣,可是風趣出不來,好比割去了尾巴的狗,把尾巴骨亂轉亂動,辦不到搖尾巴
  討好。他就是為淘氣取名“[黑旦]己”的人。
  
   科學家鄭須溪又瘦又小,可是他內心肥胖,並不枯燥。他曾在德國專攻天文學。也許受
  了德國文化的影響,他立志要做個“全人”,抱有知識上的帝國主義,把人生各方面的學問
  都霸占着算自己的領土。他自信富於詩意,具有浪漫的想象和情感,能把人生的豐富跟科學
  的精確調劑融會。所以他談起天上的星來,語氣宛如談的是好萊塢裏的星。有一位中年不嫁
  的女科學家聽他演講電磁現象,在滿場歡笑聲中,羞得面紅耳赤,因為他把陰陽極間的吸引
  說得儼然是科學方法核準的兩性戀愛。他對政治、社會等問題,也常發表言論,極得青年人
  的愛戴。最近他可不大得勁。為了學生愛國運動鬧罷課的事,他寫一篇文章,說自己到德國
  學天文的動機也是雪國恥:因為庚子之役,德國人把中國的天文儀器搬去了,所以他想把德
  國人的天文學理灌輸到中國來,這是精神戰勝物質的榜樣。這樁故事在平時準會大傢傳誦,
  增加他的名聲。不幸得很,自從國際聯盟决議予中國以“道義上的援助”,相類的名詞象
  “精神上的勝利”,也引起青年人的反感。鄭須溪因此頗受攻擊。
  
   西裝而頭髮剃光的是什麽學術機關的主任趙玉山。這個機關裏雇用許多大學畢業生在編
  輯精博的研究報告。最有名的一種、《印刷術發明以來中國書刊中誤字統計》,就是趙玉山
  定的題目。據說這題目一輩子做不完,最足以培養學術探討的耐久精神。他常宣稱:“發現
  一個誤字的價值並不亞於哥侖布的發現新大陸。”哥侖布是否也認為發現新大陸並不亞於發
  現一個誤字,聽者無法問到本人,衹好點頭和趙玉山同意。他平時沉默寡言,沒有多少趣
  味。但他曾為李太太犧牲一頭頭髮,所以有資格做李傢的慣客。他和他的年輕太太,不很相
  得。這位太太喜歡熱鬧,神經健全得好象沒有感覺似的。日常生活都要聲音做背景,留聲機
  和無綫電,成天交替地開着。這已經夠使趙玉山頭痛。她看慣了電影,銀幕上的男女每到愛
  情成就時接吻,海陸空中會飄來仙樂助興。所以她堅持臥室裏有時必須開無綫電,不管是耶
  穌誕夜,電臺廣播的大半是贊美詩,或是國慶日的晚上,廣播的是《卿雲歌》。可憐她先生
  幾乎因此害神經衰弱癥。他們初到北平時,李氏夫婦曾接風請吃午飯,趙太太一見李太太,
  心裏就討厭她風頭太健,把一切男人呼來喚去。吃完飯,大傢都稱贊今天菜好,歸功於廚子
  的藝術和建侯的提調。建侯說:“諸位別先誇奬!今天有趙太太,她在大學家政係得過學
  位,是烹飪的權威,該請她指教批評。”趙太太放不過這個掃李太太面子的好機會,記得傢
  政學講義裏一條原則,就有恃無恐地說:“菜的口味是好極了,衹是顔色太單調些,清蒸的
  多,黃燜和紅燒的少,不夠紅白調勻,在感受上起不了交響樂的那種效果。”那時候是五月
  中旬,可是趙太太講話後,全席的人都私下抽口冷氣。趙玉山知道他太太的話,無字不誤,
  衹沒法來校勘訂正。李太太笑着打趣說:“下次飯菜先送到美容院去化了裝,塗脂擦粉,再
  請趙太太來品定。”陳俠君哈哈大笑道:“幹脆藉我畫畫的顔色盆供在飯桌上得啦。”趙太
  太講錯了話,又羞又氣,在回傢路上忽然想起李太太本人就是美容醫院的産品,當時該說這
  句話來堵愛默的嘴:“美容院還不夠,該送到美容醫院去。”衹恨自己見事太遲,吃了眼前
  虧。從此她和李太太結下深仇,不許丈夫去,丈夫偏不聽話,她就冤枉他看上愛默。有一次
  夫婦倆又為這事吵嘴,那天玉山才理過發,她硬說他頭光臉滑,要嚮李太太獻媚去,使性子
  滿嘴咬了口香橡皮糖吐在玉山頭上。結果玉山衹好剃光頭髮,偏是深秋天氣,沒有藉口,他
  就說頭髮長了要多消耗頭皮上的血液,減少思想效率。他沒候到,把這個作為藉口,就別希
  望再留長頭髮了。李太太知道他夫人為自己跟他反目,請他吃飯和喝茶的次數愈多。外面謠
  言紛紜,有的說他剃發是跟太太鬧翻了,有的說他愛李太太灰了心,一句話,要出傢做和
  尚。陸伯麟曾說他該把剃下來的頭髮數一數,也許中國書刊裏的誤字恰是這個數目,省得再
  去統計。他睜大了眼說:“伯老,你別開玩笑!發現一個錯字跟發現一個新大陸同樣的重
  要……”舉動斯文的曹世昌,講話細聲細氣,柔軟悅耳,隔壁聽來,頗足使人誤會心醉。但
  是當了面聽一個男人那樣軟綿綿地講話,好多人不耐煩,恨不得把他象無綫電收音機似的撥
  一下,放大他的聲音。這位溫文的書生愛在作品裏給讀者以野蠻的印象,仿佛自己兼有原人
  的真率和超人的兇猛。他過去的生活籠罩着神秘氣氛。假使他說的是老實話,那末他什麽事
  都幹過。他在本鄉落草做過土匪,後來又吃糧當兵,到上海做流氓小兄弟,也曾登臺唱戲,
  在大飯店裏充侍者,還有其他富於浪漫性的流浪經驗,講來都能使衹在家庭和學校裏生活的
  青年搖頭伸大拇指說:“真想不到!”“真沒的說!”他寫自己幹這些營生好象比真去幹它
  們有利,所以不再改行了。論理有那麽多奇趣橫生的回憶,他該寫本自傳,一股腦收進去。
  可是他衹東鱗西爪,寫了些帶自傳性的小說;也許因為真寫起自傳來,三十多歲的生命裏,
  安插不下他形形色色的經歷,也許因為自傳寫成之後,一了百了,不便隨時對往事作新補
  充。他現在名滿文壇,可是還忘不掉小時候沒好好進過學校,老覺得那些“正途出身”的人
  瞧不起自己,隨時隨地提防人傢損傷自己的尊嚴。蜜裏調油的聲音掩蓋着劍拔弩張的態度。
  因為地位關係,他不得不和李傢的有名客人往來,而他真喜歡結識的是青年學生,他的“小
  朋友們”。這時大傢講的話,他接談不來,忍着一肚子的忌妒、憤怒、鄙薄,細心觀察這些
  “紳士”們的醜態,有機會嚮小朋友們淋漓盡致地刻劃。忽然他認清了冷落在一邊的頤𠔌,
  象是個小朋友的材料。
  
   今天的茶會少不了傅聚卿。《麻衣相法》不可全信,但有時候相貌確能影響人的一生。
  譬如有深酒窩、好牙齒的女郎,自然愛對人笑;出了“快樂天使”的名氣,脾氣也會無形中
  減少暴厲。傅聚卿的眼睛,不知道由於先天還是後天的緣故,自小有斜睨的傾嚮。他小學裏
  的先生老覺得這孩子眼梢瞟着,表示鄙夷不屑,又象冷眼旁觀,挑老師講書的錯兒。傅聚卿
  的老子是本地鄉紳,教師們不敢得罪他。他到十五六歲時,眼睛的效力與年俱進,給他一眼
  瞧見,你會立刻局促不安,提心吊膽,想適纔是否做了傻事,還是瓜皮帽結子上給人挂了紙
  條子或西裝褲子上紐扣沒扣好。他有位父執,是個名士,一天對他老子說:“我每次碰見你
  傢世兄,就想起何義門的評點,眼高於頂,其實衹看到些細節,吹毛求疵。你們世兄的眼神
  兒頗有那種風味。”傅聚卿也不知道何義門是什麽人,聽說是蘇州人批書的,想來是金聖嘆
  一流人物,從此相信憑自己的面貌可以做批評傢。在大學文科三年級時,指定參考書裏有英
  國蒲伯(Pope)的詩。他讀到駡《冷眼旁觀報》編者愛迪生的名句,說他擅長睨視(leer)
  和藐視(sneer),又讀到那形容“批眼”(TheCriticEye)的一節,激動得在圖書館閱覽
  室裏就象熱鍋上的螞蟻。從此他一言一動,都和眼睛的風度調和配合,寫文章的語氣,也好
  象字裏行間包含着藐視。他知道全世界以英國人最為眼高於頂,而愛迪生母校牛津大學的學
  生眼睛更高於高帽子頂,可以傲視帝皇。他在英國住過幾年,對人生一發傲睨,議論愈高不
  可攀;甚至你感到他的卓見高論不應當平攤桌上、低頭閱讀,該設法粘它在屋頂天花板上,
  象在羅馬雪斯丁教堂裏賞鑒米蓋郎琪羅的名畫一樣,擡頭仰面不怕脖子酸痛地瞻望。他在英
  國學會板着臉,愛理不理的表情,所以在公共集會上,在他邊上坐的要是男人,陌生人會猜
  想是他兄弟,要是女人呢,準以為是他太太,否則他不會那樣不瞅不睬的。他也抽煙斗,
  他說是受過牛津或劍橋教育的特色。袁友春雖冷笑過:“別聽他擺架子吹牛,算他到過英
  國!誰愛抽煙斗就抽!”可是心上總憎嫌傅聚卿,好象自己衹能算“私吸洋煙”,而聚卿用
  得安南鴉片鋪的招牌上響當當的字眼:“公煙”。
  
   客人有的看表,有的問主人:“今天想還有俠君?”李太太對建侯說:“我們再等他十
  分鐘,他老是這脾氣!”假使頤𠔌是個多心眼的人,他就明白已到的客人和主人恰是十位,
  加上陳俠君是十一位,這個拖泥帶水的數目,表示有一位客是臨時添入的,原來沒他的份
  兒。可是頤𠔌忙着想旁的事,沒工夫顧到這些。他還沒打破以貌取人的成見,覺得這些追求
  真、善、美的名人,本身也應有真、善、美的標志,仿佛屠夫長一身肥肉,珠寶商戴着兩三
  個大戒指。想不到都那樣碌碌無奇,他們的名氣跟他們的儀表成為使人失望的對照。沒有女
  客,那倒無足惋惜。頤𠔌從學校裏知道,愛好文藝和學問的女學生大多充不得美人樣品。所
  以今天這種知識分子的聚會上,有女客也决不會中看,衹能襯出女主人的美貌。從容觀察起
  來,李太太確長得好。嘉寶(Garbo)式的長發披着,和她肩背腰身的輪廓,融諧一氣,不
  象許多女人的頭髮自成局面,跟身體的外綫不相呼應。是三十歲左右的太太了,俏麗漸漸豐
  滿化,趨嚮富麗。因為皮膚暗,她臉上宜於那樣濃妝。因為眼睛和牙齒都好,而顴骨稍高,
  她宜笑,宜說話,宜變化表情。她雖然常開口,可是並不多話,一點頭,一笑,插進一兩
  句,回頭又和另一個人講話。她並不是賣弄才情的女人,衹愛操縱這許多朋友,好象變戲法
  的人,有本領或拋或接,兩手同時分顧到七八個在空中的碟子。頤𠔌私下奇怪,何以來的人
  都是近四十歲、久已成名的人。他不瞭解這些有身傢名望的中年人到李太太傢來,是他們現
  在惟一經濟保險的浪漫關係,不會出亂子,不會鬧笑話,不要花錢,而獲得精神上的休假,
  有了逃避家庭的俱樂部。建侯並不對他們猜忌,可是他們彼此吃醋得利害,衹肯在一點上通
  力合作:李太太對某一個新相識感到興趣,他們異口同聲講些巧妙中聽的壞話。他們對外賣
  弄和李傢的交情,同時不許任何外人輕易進李傢的交情圈子。這樣,李太太愈可望而不可即
  了。事實上,他們並不是李太太的朋友,衹能算李太太的習慣,相與了五六年,知己知彼,
  呼喚得動,掌握得住,她也懶得費心機更培養新習慣。衹有這時候進來的陳俠君比較上得她
  親信。
  
   理由是陳俠君最閑着沒事做,常能到李傢來走動。他曾在法國學過畫,可是他不必靠此
  為生。他嘗說,世界上資本傢以外,和“無産階級”的勞動者對峙的還有一種“無業階
  級”,傢有遺産、不務正業的公子哥兒。他勉強算屬於這個階級。他最初回國到上海,頗想
  努力振作,把繪畫作為職業。誰知道上海這地方,什麽東西都愛洋貨,就是洋畫沒人過問。
  洋式佈置的屋子裏挂的還是中堂、條幅、橫披之類。他的大伯父是有名的國畫傢,不懂透
  視,不會寫生;除掉“外國墳山”和自來水,也沒逛過名山秀水,衹憑祖傳的收藏和日本的
  珂羅版《南畫集》,今天畫幅山水“仿大癡筆意”,明天畫幅樹石“曾見雲林有此”,生意
  忙得不可開交。這氣壞了有藝術良心的陳俠君。他伯父一天對他說:“我的好侄兒呀,你這
  條路走錯了!洋畫我不懂,可是總比不上我們古畫的氣韻,並且不象中國畫那樣用意微妙。
  譬如大前天一個銀行經理求我為他銀行裏會客室畫幅中堂,你們學洋畫的人試想該怎樣畫
  法,要切銀行,要口彩好,又不能俗氣露骨。”俠君想不出來,衹好搖頭。他伯父呵呵大
  笑,攤開紙捲道:“瞧我畫的!”畫的是一棵荔枝樹,結滿了大大小小的荔枝,上面寫着:
  “一本萬利圖。臨羅兩峰本”俠君看了又氣又笑。他伯父又問“幸福圖”怎樣畫法,俠君真
  以為他嚮自己請教,源源本本告訴他在西洋神話裏,幸福女神是個眼蒙布帶、腳踏飛輪的女
  人。他伯父拈着鬍子微笑,又攤開一捲紙,畫着一株杏花、五衹蝙蝠,題字道:“杏蝠者,
  幸福諧音也;蝠數五,諧五福也。自我作古。”俠君衹有佩服,雖然不很情願。他伯父還有
  許多女弟子,大半是富商財主的外室;這些財翁白天忙着賺錢,怕小公館裏的情婦長日無
  聊,要不安分,常常叫她們學點玩藝兒消遣。最理想的當然是中國畫,可以賣弄而不難學。
  拜門學畫的先生,不比旁的教師,必須有名兒的,這也很掙面子,而且中國畫的名傢十九上
  了年紀,不會引誘女人,可以安心交托。俠君年紀輕,又是花天酒地的法國留學生,人傢先
  防他三分;學洋畫聽說專畫模特兒,難保不也畫紅樓夢裏傻大姐所說的“妖精打架”,那就
  有傷風化了。俠君在上海受夠了冷落,搬到北平來住,有了一些說話投機的朋友,漸漸恢復
  自尊心,然而初回國時那股勁頭再也鼓不起來。因為他懶得什麽事都不幹,人傢以為他上了
  勁什麽事都能幹。他也成了名流。他衹有談話不懶,晚上睡着了還要說夢話。他最擅長跟女
  人講話。他知道女人不喜歡男人對她們太尊敬,所以他帶玩弄地恭維,帶冒犯地迎合。例如
  上月裏李太太做生日,她已到了願有人記得她生日而不願有人知道她生年的時期,當然對客
  人說自己老了,大傢都抗議說:“不老!不老!”衹有陳俠君說:“快該老了!否則年輕的
  姑娘們都給您比下去了,再沒有出頭的日子啦!”
  
   客人齊了,用人送茶點上來。李太太叫頤𠔌坐在旁邊,為自己斟第一杯茶,第二杯茶就
  給他斟,問他要幾塊糖。頤𠔌客氣地躊躇說:“謝謝,不要糖。”李太太註視他,微笑低聲
  說:“別又象剛纔否認你學校裏有女學生,這用不到客套!不擱糖,這茶不好喝。我幹脆不
  問你,給你加上牛奶。”頤𠔌感謝天,這時候大傢都忙着談話,沒人註意到自己的窘態,李
  太太的笑容和眼睛表情使他忽然快樂得仿佛心給熱東西燙痛了。他機械地把匙調着茶,好一
  會沒聽見旁人在講什麽。
  
   建侯道:“俠君,你來的時候耳朵燒沒有?我們都在駡你。”
  
   陳俠君道:“咱們背後誰不駡誰--”
  
   愛默插嘴說:“我可沒駡過誰。”
  
   俠君左手按在胸口,坐着嚮愛默深深彎背道:“我從沒駡過你。”回頭嚮建侯問:“駡
  我些什麽呢?何妨講來聽聽,‘有則改之,無則加勉。’”
  
   馬用中喝完茶還得上報館做稿子,便搶着說:“駡你臭架子,每次有意晚到,耽誤大傢
  的時間,恭候你一個人。”
  
   袁友春說:“大傢說你這藝術傢的習氣是在法國拉丁區坐咖啡館學來的,說法國人根本
  沒有時間觀念,所以‘時間即金錢’那句話還得嚮英文去藉。我的見解不同,我想你生來這
  遲到的脾氣,不,沒生出來就有這脾氣,你一定十月滿足了還賴着不肯出世的。”
  
   大傢都笑了,陳俠君還沒回答,傅聚卿冷冷地說:“這幽默太笨重了,到肉鋪子裏去稱
  一下,怕斤兩不小。”
  
   袁友春臉上微紅,睜眼看傅聚卿道:“英國人用磅作單位的,不講斤兩,你露出冒牌英
  國佬的馬腳來了。”
  
   陳俠君喝着茶說:“可惜!可惜!這樣好茶給你們潤了嗓子來吵嘴,真冤哪!我今天可
  不是故意纍你們等,方纔送一個朋友全家上車回南邊去,所以來遲了。這兩天風聲又緊起
  來,好多人想搬傢離開這兒。老馬,你說,這仗打得起來不?你的消息該比我們靈通羅。”
  
   曹世昌涵意深微地說:“你該看他的社論。國傢大事,私人訪問,恕不答復。”
  
   幾張嘴同時說:“為了讀他的社論,看不出所以然,所以要問他。”頤𠔌也覺得這關係
  到切身利害,衹等馬用中吃完了“三明治”騰出嘴來講話。李太太說:“是呀!我也得有個
  準備。北平真危險的話,衹有把上海出租的房子要回來,建侯得先到南邊去料理了。可是三
  年前的夏天,比現在緊張多呢!日本飛機在頭上轉,大傢都搶着回南,平滬特快車頭二等的
  走廊裏站滿了乘客,三等車裏擠得一宵轉身不得,什麽笑話都有。到後來,大事化為無事,
  去的人又回來,白忙了一趟。這幾年來,我們受慣了虛驚,也許什麽事兒沒有。用中,你瞧
  怎樣?”
  
   馬用中好象沒忘記生理衛生關於澱粉應在嘴裏消化的教訓,仔細咀嚼面包,吃完了把碟
  子旁的手巾拂去胸前沾的面包屑,皺着眉頭說:“這事很難肯定地說……”
  
   李太太使性說:“那不行!你非講不可。”傅聚卿道:“為什麽這樣吞吞吐吐?何妨把
  你自己的眼光來决斷一下。老實告訴你,老馬,我就從來沒把你的話作準;反正你在這理講
  話又不是做社論,你不負什麽文責。要知道禍福吉兇,我們自會去求簽卜卦,請教擺測字攤
  的人,不會根據你大政論傢的話來行動。”
  
   馬用中衹當沒聽見,對李太太說:“我想戰事暫時不會起。第一,我們還沒充分準備,
  第二,我得到消息,假使日本跟我們開戰,俄國也許要乘機動手,這消息的來源我不能公
  布,反正是頂可靠的。第三,英美為保護遠東利益,不會坐視日本侵略中國,我知道它們和
  我們當局有實際援助的默契。日本怕俄國,也不能不顧忌到英美,决不敢真幹起來。第四,
  我們政府首領跟希脫勒、墨沙裏尼最友善,德國、意國都和我們同情,斷不至於幫了日本去
  牽製英美。所以,我們的觀察,兩三年內還不會有戰爭。當然,天下常有意料不到的事。”
  
   李太太恨道:“你這人真討厭!聽了你一大堆話,剛有點放心,又來那麽泄氣的一
  句!”馬用中抱歉地傻笑,仿佛戰事意外發生都是他失察之咎。曹世昌問:“那麽,當前的
  緊張局面怎樣了結呢?”
  
   袁友春輕衊地說:“哼!還有什麽?我們衹能讓步。”
  
   “那可糟啦!”建侯說,頤𠔌心裏也應聲回響。
  
   “不讓步事情更糟,”傅聚卿、陸伯麟同時說。
  
   陳俠君道:“讓步!讓到什麽時候得了?大不了亡國,倒不如幹脆跟日本拼個你死我
  活。老實講,北平也不值得留戀了。在這種委屈苟安的空氣裏,我們一天天增進亡國順民的
  程度,我就受不了!衹有打!”說時拍着桌子,表示他的言行一致,好象證明該這樣打日本
  人的。坐在他右面的趙玉山嚇得直跳起來,把茶都潑在衣服上。
  
   李太太笑道:“瞧你這股傻勁兒!小心別打破我的茶杯。‘打!’你肯上前綫去打
  麽?”
  
   俠君正在嚮玉山道歉說:“都是我不好!回頭你太太又該藉這茶漬跟你吵了--”聽見
  這話,回臉過來說:“我不肯,我不能,而且我不敢。我是懦夫,我怕炮火。”
  
   建侯聳了聳肩,對人傢做個眼色,傅聚卿說:“你肯承認自己懦弱,這就是最大的勇
  氣。這個年頭兒,誰都不敢講自己怕打仗。敢這樣坦白講的,你還是第一個。有些人把他們
  的畏縮掩飾成政策,說維持和平,說暫時妥協,不可輕舉妄動,意氣用事。有些人高喊着抗
  戰,衹希望虛聲奪人,把吶喊來嚇退日本,心上並不願意,也並不相信這戰爭真能發生。
  句並一句說,大傢都膽小得要裝勇敢,就沒人有膽量敢誠實地懦弱。可是你自己怕打仗,又
  主張打仗,這未免有些矛盾。”
  
   俠君把牛奶倒在茶碟裏,叫淘氣來舔,撫摸着淘氣的毛,回答說:“這並不矛盾。這正
  是中國人傳統的心理,這也是貓的心理。我們一嚮說,‘善戰者服上刑’,‘佳兵不祥’,
  但是也說,‘不得已而用兵’。怕打仗,躲避打仗,無可躲避了就打。沒打的時候怕死,到
  打的時候怕得忘了死。我中國學問根柢不深,記不起古代什麽一位名將說過,士兵的勇氣都
  從畏懼裏出來,怕懼敵人,但是更怕懼自己的將帥,所以衹有努力嚮前殺敵。譬如傢畜裏膽
  子最小的是貓,可是我們衹看見小孩子給傢裏養的貓抓破了皮,從沒見過傢裏養的狗會咬痛
  小孩子。你把不滿一歲的小孩子或小狗跟小貓比一下,就明白貓和其他兩種四足傢畜的不
  同。你對小孩子恐嚇,裝樣子要打他,他就哭了。你對小狗這樣,它一定四腳朝天,擺動兩
  個前爪,仿佛搖手請你別打,身子左右滾着。衹有小貓,它愈害怕態度愈兇,小鬍子根根挺
  直,小腳瓜的肌肉象張滿未發的弓弦,準備跟你拼命。可是貓遠不如狗的勇敢,這大傢都知
  道。所以,怕打仗跟能打仗並不象傅聚卿所想象的那樣矛盾。”
  
   袁友春覺得這段議論頗可以留到自己講中國人特性的文章裏去用,所以一聲不響,好象
  沒聽見。陸伯麟道:“我從沒想到俠君會演說。今天的事大可以編個小說回目:‘拍桌子,
  陳俠君慷慨宣言;翻茶杯,趙玉山淋漓生氣’,或者:‘陳俠君自比小貓;趙玉山妻如老
  虎。’”大傢都笑說陸伯麟“缺德”,趙玉山一連搖頭道:“鬍說!不通!”
  
   曹世昌說:“我沒有陳先生的氣魄,不過,咱們知識分子有咱們對國傢的職責。咱們能
  力所及,應該趕快去做。我想咱們應當喚起國際的同情,先博得輿論的支持,對日本人無信
  義的行為加以製裁。這種非官方的國外宣傳,你們精通外國文的人更應該做。袁先生在這一
  方面有很大的成績,傅先生您亦何妨來一下?今年春天在倫敦舉行的中國藝術展覽會已經引
  起全世界文化人士對中國的註意,這是最好的機會,千萬不要錯過。打鐵趁它熱——假使不
  熱,咱們打得它發熱。”這幾句話講得頤𠔌心悅誠服,想畢竟是曹世昌有道理。
  
   傅聚卿道:“你太瞧得起我了,這事衹有友春能幹。可是,你把外國的同情也看得過
  高,同情不過是情感上的奢華,不切實際的。我們跟玉山很同情,咱們中間誰肯出傻力氣幫
  他去製服趙太太?咱們親眼看見陳俠君害他潑了一身茶,陸伯老講話損他,咱們為他抱不平
  沒有?外國人知道切身利益有關,自然會來援助。現代的輿論並非中國傳統所謂清議。獨裁
  國傢裏,政府的意旨統製報紙的輿論,絶不是報紙來左右政府,民治國傢象英國罷,全國的
  報紙都操縱在一兩個報閥的手裏,這種報閥不是有頭腦有良心的知識分子,不過是靠報紙來
  發財和擴大勢力的野心資本傢,哪裏會主持什麽公道?至於倫敦畫展呢,讓我告訴你一句耐
  人尋味的話。有位英國朋友寫信給我說,從前歐洲一般人對日本藝術開始感覺興趣,是因為
  日俄之戰,日本人打了勝仗;現前斷定中日開戰,中國準打敗仗,所以忽然對中國藝術發生
  好奇心,好比大房子要換主人了,鄰居就會去探望。”
  
   陸伯麟打個呵欠道:“這些話都不必談。反正中國爭不來氣,要依賴旁人。跟日本妥
  協,受英美保護,不過是半斤八兩。我就不明白這裏面有什麽不同。要說是國恥,兩者都是
  國恥。日本人誠然來意不善,英美人何嘗存着好心。我倒寧可傾嚮日本,多少還是同種,文
  化上也不少相同之處。我知道我說這句話要挨人臭駡的。”
  
   陳俠君道:“這地道是‘日本通’的話。平時的日本通,到戰事發生,好些該把名稱倒
  過來,變成‘通日本’,——伯老,得罪得罪!冒犯了你,我們湖南人講話粗魯,不知忌諱
  的。”後面這幾句話因為陸伯麟氣得臉色翻白,捻鬍子的手都抖着。中國各地衹有兩廣人、
  湖南人,勉強湊上山東人,這四省人可以雄糾糾說:“我們這地方的人就生來這樣脾氣。”
  他們的生長地點宛如一個辯論的理由、挑戰的口號。陸伯麟是滬杭寧鐵路綫上的土著,他的
  故鄉叫不響;衹有旁人背後藉他的籍貫來駡他,來解釋或原諒他的習性,在吵架時自己的籍
  貫助不了聲勢的。所以他一時上竟想不出話來抵擋陳俠君的“我們湖南人”,再說,自己剛
  預言過要挨駡,現在預言居然中了,還怨什麽?
  
   鄭須溪趕快避開爭端說:“從政治的立場來看,我們是否該宣戰,我不敢决定。我為了
  多開口,也已經挨了青年人的駡。但是從超政治的觀點來講,戰爭也許正是我們民族精神的
  需要,一個大規模的戰爭可以刺激起我們這個民族潛伏着的美德,幫我們恢復精神的健康和
  國傢的自尊心。當然,痛苦是免不了的,死傷、恐怖、流離、饑荒,以及一切伊班涅茨的
  ‘四騎士’所能帶來的災禍。但這些都是戰爭歷程中應有的事,在整個光榮壯烈的英雄氣魄
  裏,局部的痛苦得了補償。人生原是這樣,從醜和惡裏提煉出美和善。就象桌子上新鮮的
  奶、雪白的糖、香噴噴的茶、精美可口的點心,這些好東西入口以後,到我們腸胃裏經過生
  理化學的作用,變質變形,那種爛糊糟糕的狀態簡直不堪想象,想起來也該替這些又香又甜
  的好東西傷心叫屈。可是非有這樣骯髒的過程,肉體不會美和健康。我——”
  
   李太太截斷他道:“你講得叫人要反胃了!我們女人不愛聽這種拐彎抹角的議論。人生
  有許多可恨、可厭,全不合理的事,沒法避免。假如戰爭免不了,你犯不着找深奧的理由,
  證明它合理,證明它好。你為戰爭找道理,並不能擡高戰爭,反而褻瀆了道理,我們聽着就
  對一切真理發生猜疑,覺得也許又是強辯飾非。我們必需幹的事,不一定就是好事。你那種
  說法,近乎自己騙自己,我不贊成。”頤𠔌聽得出了神,註視着愛默講話時的側面,眼睛象
  兩星晶瑩的火,燃燒着驚奇和欽佩。陳俠君眼快,瞧見他這樣子,微笑嚮愛默做個眼色。愛
  默回頭看頤𠔌,頤𠔌羞得低下頭去,手指把面包捻成一個個小丸子。陳俠君不放鬆地問:
  “這位先生貴姓?適纔來遲,荒唐得很,沒有請教。”頤𠔌感到十雙眼睛的光射得自己兩臉
  發燒,心裏恨不能一刀殺死陳俠君,同時聽見自己的聲音回答:“敝姓齊。”建侯說:“我
  忘掉嚮你介紹,這位齊先生是幫我整理材料的,人聰明得了不得。”“唔!唔!”這是陳俠
  君的回答。假使世間有天從人願那一回事,陳俠君這時臉上該又燙又辣,象給頤𠔌打了耳光
  的感覺。
  
   “你倒沒有聘個女——女秘書?”袁友春問建侯。他本要說“女書記”,忽然想到這稱
  呼太直率,做書記的頤𠔌聽了也許刺耳,所以忙改口尊稱“秘書”,同時心裏佩服自己的機
  靈周到。
  
   曹世昌道:“這不用問!太太肯批準麽?女書記也幫不了多少忙。”
  
   李太太說:“這還象句話說。隨他用一屋子的女書記,我管不着,別扯到我身上,建
  侯,對不對?”建侯油膩膩地傻笑。
  
   袁友春道:“建侯纔可以安全保險地用女書記,决不鬧什麽引誘良傢少女的笑話。傢裏
  放着愛默這樣漂亮夫人,他眼睛看高了,要他垂青可不容易。”
  
   陳俠君瞧建侯一眼道:“他要引誘,怕也沒有膽量。”
  
   建侯按住惱怒,強笑道:“你知道我沒膽量?”
  
   俠君大叫道:“這簡直大逆不道!愛默,你聽見沒有?快把你們先生看管起來。”
  
   愛默笑道:“有人愛上建侯,那最好沒有。這證明我挑丈夫的眼光不錯,旁人也有眼共
  賞。我該得意,决不吃‘忌諱’。”
  
   愛默話雖然漂亮,其實文不對題;因為陳俠君講建侯看中旁的女人,並非講旁的女人看
  中建侯。但也沒人矯正她。陳俠君繼續說:“建侯膽量也許有餘,胃口一定不夠。咱們人到
  中年,食色兩個基本欲望裏,衹要任何一個還強烈,人就還不算衰老。這兩種欲望彼此相
  通;根據一個人飲食的嗜好,我們往往可以推出他戀愛時的脾氣——”
  
   陸伯麟眼睛盯在面前的茶杯上,仿佛對自己的鬍子說:“愛默剛纔講她自己决不捻酸吃
  醋,可是她愛吃醋溜魚,哼!”建侯道:“這話對!俠君專門鬍說八道,好象他什麽都知
  道!”
  
   俠君不理會陸伯麟,把頭打着圈兒對建侯說:“因為她愛吃醋溜魚,所以我斷定她也會
  吃醋。你小心着,別太樂!”
  
   李太太笑道:“這真是信口開河!好罷,好罷!算我是醋瓶兒、醋罐兒、醋缸兒,你講
  下去。”
  
   俠君象皮球給人刺過一針,走漏了氣,懶懶地說:“也沒什麽可講。建侯吃菜的胃口不
  好,想來他在戀愛上也不是貪多的人。”
  
   “而且一定也精益求精,象他對烹調一樣,沒有多少女人夠得上他的審美標準,”傅聚
  卿說。建侯聽着,洋洋得意。
  
   “此話大錯特錯,”俠君忍不住說:“最能得男人愛的並不是美人。我們該防備的倒是
  相貌平常、姿色中等的女人。見了有名的美人,我們衹能仰慕她,不敢愛她。我們這種未老
  已醜的臭男人自慚形穢,知道沒希望,决不做癩蛤蟆吃天鵝肉的夢。她的美貌增進她跟我們
  心理上的距離,仿佛是危險記號,使我們膽怯、懦怯,不敢接近。要是我們愛她,我們好比
  敢死冒險的勇士,抱有明知故犯的心思。反過來,我們碰見普通女人,至多覺得她長得還不
  討厭,來往的時候全不放在眼裏。嚇!忽然一天發現自己糊裏糊塗地,不知什麽時候讓她在
  我們心裏做了小窩。這真叫戀愛得不明不白,戀愛得冤枉。美人象敵人的正規軍隊,你知道
  戒備,即使打敗了,也有個交代。平常女子象這次西班牙內戰裏弗郎哥的‘第五縱隊’,做
  間諜工作,把你顛倒了,你還在夢裏。象咱們傢裏的太太,或咱們愛過的其他女人,一個都
  說不上美,可是我們當初追求的時候,也曾為她們睡不着,吃不下——這位齊先生年紀雖
  輕,想來也飽有經驗?哈哈!”頤𠔌聽着俠君前面一段議論,不由自主地佩服他觀察得入情
  入理,沒想到他竟扯到自己頭上,漲紅了臉,說不出話,對陳俠君的怨恨復活了。
  
   李太太忙說:“俠君,你這人真討厭——齊先生,別理他。”
  
   袁友春道:“俠君,你適纔講咱們的太太不美,這‘咱們’裏有沒有建侯?”曹世昌、
  趙玉山都和着他。
  
   李太太笑道:“這不用問,當然有他。我也是‘未老先醜’,現在已老更醜。”
  
   俠君慌的縮了頭,手抓着後腦,做個鬼臉。陸伯麟都忍不住笑了。
  
   馬用中說:“你們說話都不正經。我報館裏有兩個女職員做事都很細心認真。玉山,你
  所裏好象也有女研究員?”
  
   趙玉山道:“我們有三個,都很好。象我們這研究所,一般年輕女人會覺得沉悶枯燥,
  决不肯來。我的經驗是,在大學專修自然科學、中國文學、歷史、地理的女學生,都比較老
  實認真。衹有讀西洋文學的女學生最要不得,滿腦子的浪漫思想,什麽都不會,外國文也沒
  讀通,可是動不動要瞭解人生,要做女作傢,要做外交官太太去招待洋人,頂不安分。從前
  傅聚卿介紹過這樣一個寶貝到我們所裏來,好容易我把她攆走了,聚卿還怪着我呢。”
  
   傅聚卿道:“我不怪你旁的,我怪你頭腦頑固,胸襟狹小,容不下人。”
  
   鄭須溪道:“這話不錯。玉山該留她下來,也許你們所裏的學術空氣能把她潛移默化,
  使她漸漸跟環境適合,很可能成為一個人才。”
  
   陸伯麟笑說:“我想起一椿笑話。十幾年前,我傢還在南邊。有個春天,我陪內人到普
  陀山去燒香,就住在寺院的客房裏。我看床鋪的樣子,不很放心,問和尚有沒有臭蟲。和尚
  擔保我沒有,‘就是有一兩個,佛門的臭蟲受了菩薩感應,不吃葷血;萬一真咬了人,阿彌
  陀佛,先生別弄死它,在菩薩清靜道場殺生有罪孽的。’好傢夥!那天我給咬得一宵沒睡。
  後來纔知道真有人聽和尚的話。有同去燒香的婆媳兩人,那婆婆捉到了臭蟲,便擱在她媳婦
  的床上,算是放生積德,媳婦嚷出來,傳為笑話。須溪講環境能感化性格,我想起和尚廟的
  吃素臭蟲來了。”大傢都哈哈大笑。
  
   鄭須溪笑完道:“伯老,你不要笑那和尚,他的話有一部分真理。臭蟲跟佛教程度差得
  太多了,陳俠君所謂‘心理距離’相去太遠,所以不會受到感化。智力比較高的動物的確能
  夠傳染主人的脾氣,這一點生物學家和動物心理學家都承認。譬如主人愛說笑話,來的朋友
  們常哈哈大笑,他養的狗處在這種環境裏,也會有幽默,常做出滑稽引人笑的舉動,有時竟
  能嘻開嘴學人的笑容。記得達爾文就觀察到狗能模仿人的幽默,我十幾年前看德國心理學家
  潑拉埃講兒童心理的書裏,也提起這類事。我說學術空氣能改變女人的性格,並非大帽子空
  話。”
  
   陸伯麟道:“狗的笑容倒沒見過,回頭養條狗來試驗試驗。可是我聽了你的科學證明,
  和你絶對同意。我喜歡書,所以我傢裏的耗子也受了主人的感化,對書有特別嗜好,常把我
  的書咬壞。和尚們也許偷偷吃肉,所以寺院裏的虱子不戒腥葷。你的話對極了。”說完話嚮
  李太太擠擠眼,仿佛要她註意自己諷刺的巧妙。
  
   鄭須溪搖頭道:“你這老頭子簡直不可理喻。”袁友春道:“何必舉狗的例子呢?不現
  成有淘氣麽?你們細心瞧它動作時的腰身,婀娜剛健,有時真象愛默,尤其是它伸懶腰的姿
  態。它在李府上養得久了,看慣美麗女主人的榜樣,無形中也受了感化。”
  
   李太太道:“我不知道該駡你,還是該謝你。”
  
   陳俠君道:“他這話根本不對。淘氣在李傢好多年了,不錯,可是它也有男主人哪!為
  什麽它不模仿建侯?你們別笑,建侯又要誤會我挖苦他了。建侯假如生在十六世紀的法國,
  他這身段的麯綫美,不知該使多少女人傾倒愛慕,不拿薪水當他的女書記呢!那時候的漂亮
  男女,都得把肚子凸出--法國話好象叫Panserons--鼓得愈高愈好,跟現代女人的束緊
  前面腹部而聳起後面臀部,正是相反。建侯算得古之法國美少年,也配得做淘氣的榜樣。所
  以我說老袁倒果為因。並不是淘氣學愛默的姿態,是愛默參考淘氣的姿態,神而明之,自成
  一傢。這話愛默聽了不會生氣的。傾國傾城,天字第一號外國美人是埃及女皇剋婁巴德拉-
  -埃及的古風是女人愈象貓愈算得美。在朋友們的太太裏,當然推愛默穿衣服最稱身,譬如
  我內人到鼕天就象麻口袋裏盛滿棒子面,衹有你那合式樣兒,不象衣服配了身體做的,真象
  身體適應着衣服生長的。這不是學淘氣的一身皮毛麽?不成淘氣會學了你纔生皮長毛?”
  
   愛默笑道:“小心建侯揍你!你專講廢話。”建侯把面前一塊Eclair給陳俠君道:
  “請你免開尊口,還是吃東西吧,省得嘴閑着又要嚼咀。”俠君真接了咬着,給點心堵住了
  上下古今的議論。
  
   傅聚卿說:“我在想俠君講的話。戀愛裏的確有‘心理距離’,所以西洋的愛神專射冷
  箭。射箭當然需要適當的距離,紅心太逼近了箭射不出,太遠隔了箭射不到;地位懸殊的人
  固然不易相愛,而血統關係太親密的人也不易相愛。不過這距離不僅在心理方面。各位有這
  個經驗麽?有時一個女人遠看很美,頗為可愛,走近了細瞧,纔知道全是假的,長得既不好
  看,而且化妝的原料欠講究,化妝的技巧也沒到傢。這種娘兒們打的什麽主意,我真想不
  出。花那麽多的心思和工夫來打扮,結果衹能站在十碼以外供人遠眺!是否希望男人老遠的
  已經深深地愛上她們,到走近看明了真相,後悔無及,衹有將錯就錯,愛她們到底?今天聽
  俠君的話,纔明白她們跟槍炮一樣,放射力有一定的距離,這種女人,我一天不知要碰見多
  少,我恨死了她們,覺得她們要騙我的愛,我險的上當。虧得我生在現代,中國風氣開通,
  有機會對她們仔細觀察,矯正一眼看去的幻覺。假使在古代,關防嚴密,惟有望見女人憑着
  高樓的欄幹,或者瞥見她打起驢車的簾子。可望而不可即,衹好一見生情,倒煞費心機去追
  求她,那冤不冤!我想着都發抖。”說時傅聚卿打個寒噤。建侯笑得利害,不但嘴笑,整個
  矮胖的身體也參加這笑。
  
   陳俠君早吃完那塊糕,嘆口氣說:“聚卿,你眼睛終是太高呀!我們上半世已過的人,
  假如此心不死,就不能那樣苛求。不但對相貌要放低標準,並且在情感方面也不宜責備求
  全。十年前我最瞧不起那些眼開眼閉的老頭子,明知他們的年輕姨太太背了自己胡闹,裝傻
  不管。現在我漸漸瞭解他們,同情他們。除非你容忍她們對旁人的愛,你別夢想她們會容忍
  你對她們的愛。我在巴黎學畫的時候,和一個科西嘉的女孩子很要好,後來發現她是虔誠的
  天主教徒,要我也進教纔肯結婚,仿佛她就是教會招攬主顧的女招待,我衹好把她甩了。我
  那時要求女人全副精神愛我,整個心裏裝滿的是我,不許留一點點給任何人,上帝也是我的
  情敵,她該為我放棄他,她對我的愛情應該超越一切宗教的顧忌。可是現在呢?我安分了,
  沒有奢望了,假如有可愛的女人肯大發慈悲,賞賜我些剩餘的溫柔,我象叫化子討得殘羹冷
  炙,感激涕零。她看我一眼,對我一笑,或臉一紅,我都記在心上,貯蓄着有好幾天的思量
  和回味。打仗?我們太老啦!可是還不夠老,衹怕徵兵輪到我們。戀愛?我們太老啦!可是
  也不夠老,衹怕做情人輪不着我們!”
  
   馬用中起身道:“俠君這番話又喪氣,又無恥。時候不早了,我先走一步。李太太,建
  侯,謝謝您,再會,再會。別送!齊先生,再見。”曹世昌也同時說俠君的議論“傷風敗
  俗”。建侯聽俠君講話,呆呆的象上了心事,直到馬用中叫他名字,纔忙站起來,和着愛默
  說:“不多坐一會兒麽?不送,不送。”頤𠔌掏出表來,看時間不早,也想告辭,衹希望大
  傢都走,混在人堆裏,七嘴八舌中說一句客氣話便溜。然而看他們都坐得頂舒服的,不象就
  走;自己怕母親盼望,實在坐不住了,正盤算怎樣過這一重重告別的難關。李太太瞧見他看
  表,就說:“時間還早啊,可是我不敢多留你,明兒見。”頤𠔌含糊地嚮李太太謝了幾句。
  因為他第一次來,建侯送他到大門。出客堂時建侯把門反手關上,頤𠔌聽見關不斷的裏面說
  笑聲,武斷他們說笑着自己,臉更熱了。跳上了電車,他忽然記起李太太說“明兒見”。仔
  細再想一想,把李太太對自己臨去時講的話從記憶裏提出來,揀淨理清,清清楚楚的“明兒
  見”三個字。這三個字還沒僵冷,李太太的語調還沒有消散。“明”字說得很滑溜,襯出
  “見”字語音的清朗和着重,不過着重得那麽輕鬆衹好象說的時候在字面上點一下。那
  “兒”字隱躲在“明”字和“見”字聲音的夾縫裏,偷偷的帶過去。自己絲毫沒記錯。心止
  不住快活地跳,明天這個日子值得等待,值得盼望。頤𠔌笑容上臉,高興得容納不下,恨不
  得和同車的乘客們分攤高興。對面坐的一個中年女人見頤𠔌嚮自己笑,誤會他用意,惡狠狠
  看了頤𠔌一眼,板着臉,別過頭去。頤𠔌碰到一鼻子灰,莫名其妙,纔安靜下來。到了傢,
  他母親當然問他李太太美不美。他偏說李太太算不得美,皮膚不白啦,顴骨稍微高啦,更有
  其他什麽缺點啦。假如頤𠔌沒着迷,也許他會贊揚愛默俏麗動人;現在他似乎新有了一個秘
  密,這個秘密初來未慣,躲在他心裏,怕見生人,所以他說話也無意中合於外交和軍事上聲
  東擊西的掩護策略。他母親年輕結婚的時候,中國人還未發明戀愛。那時候有人來做媒,父
  母問到女孩子本人,她中意那男人的話,衹有紅着臉低頭,一聲不響,至多說句“全憑爹媽
  作主”,然後飛快的跑回房裏去,這已算女孩兒傢最委婉的表情了。誰料到二三十年後,世
  情大變,她兒子一個大男孩子的心思也會那麽麯折!所以她衹打趣兒子,說他看得好仔細,
  旁的沒講什麽。頤𠔌那天晚上做了好幾個顛倒混沌的夢,夢見不小心把茶潑在李太太衣服
  上,窘得無地自容,衹好逃出了夢。醒過來,又夢見淘氣抓破自己的鼻子,陳俠君駡自己是
  貓身上的跳虱。氣得正要回駡,夢又轉了彎,自己在撫摸淘氣的毛,忽然發現撫摸的是李太
  太的頭髮,醒來十分慚愧,想明天真無顔見李氏夫婦了。卻又偷偷的喜歡,昧了良心,牛反
  芻似的把這夢追溫一遍。
  
   李太太並未把頤𠔌放在心上。建侯送頤𠔌出去時,陳俠君道:“這小孩子相貌倒是頂聰
  明的。愛默,他該做你的私人秘書,他一定死心塌地聽你使喚,他這年齡正是為你發傻勁的
  時候。”愛默道:“怕建侯不肯。”曹世昌道:“俠君,你這人最要不得!你今天把那小孩
  子欺負得夠了。年輕人沒見過世面,怪可憐的,。”俠君道:“誰欺負他?我看他睜大了眼
  那驚奇的樣子,幼稚得可憐,所以和他開玩笑,叫他別那麽緊張。”陸伯麟道:“你自以為
  開玩笑,全不知輕重。怪不得建侯惱你。”大傢也附和着他。說時,建侯進來。客人坐一
  會,也陸續散了。愛默那晚上睡到下半夜,在前半覺和後半覺接榫處,無故想起日間頤𠔌對
  自己的表情和陳俠君的話,忽然感到興奮,覺得自己還不是中年女人,轉身側嚮又睡着了。
  
   明天,頤𠔌正為建侯描寫他在紐約大旅館高樓上望下去,電綫、行人、車輛搞得頭暈眼
  花,險的栽出窗子,愛默打門進來。看了他們一眼,又轉身象要出去,說:“你們忙着,我
  不來打攪你們,我沒有事。”建侯道:“我們也沒有事,你要不要看看我遊記的序文?”愛
  默道:“記得你嚮我講過序文的大意了。好,我等你第一章脫稿了,一起看,專看序文沒有
  意思。建侯,我想請頤𠔌抽空寫大後天咱們請客的帖子,可以不可以?”頤𠔌沒準備李太太
  為自己的名字去了外罩,上不帶姓,下不帶“先生”,名字赤裸裸的,好象初進按摩浴室的
  人沒料到侍女會為他脫光衣服。他沒等建侯回答,忙說:“可以,可以!就怕我字寫不好—
  —”頤𠔌說了這句謙詞,算表示他從容自在,並非局促到語無倫次。建侯不用說也答應。頤
  𠔌嚮愛默手中接過請客名單,把眼花腿軟的建侯拋擱在紐約旅館第三十二層樓窗口,一心來
  為愛默寫帖子了。他替建侯寫遊記,滿肚子的委屈,而做這種瑣碎的抄寫工作,倒虔誠得象
  和尚刺血寫佛經一樣。回傢後他還追想着這小事,似乎這是愛默眼裏有他的表示。第二天他
  為愛默復了幾封無關緊要的信,第三天他代愛默看了一本作者贈送的新小說,把故事撮要報
  告她,因為過一天這作者要見到愛默。頤𠔌並不為這些事花多少心力,午後回傢的時候卻感
  到當天的生活異常豐富,對明天也有不敢希望的希望。
  
   寫請帖的那一天,李先生已經不很高興。到李太太叫頤𠔌代看小說,李先生覺得這不但
  截斷了遊記寫作,並且象燒熱的刀判分豬油,還消耗了中午前後那一段好時間,當天別指望
  頤𠔌再為自己工作了。他不好意思當場發作,衹隱約感到不安,怕愛默會把這個書記奪去。
  他當着愛默,冷冷對頤𠔌說:“你看你的小說,把稿子給我,我自己來寫。”愛默似笑非笑
  道:“抓得那樣緊!你寫書不爭這一天半天,我明天得罪了人怎麽辦?你不要我管傢事的
  話,這本書我早看了。”頤𠔌這時候衹知道愛默要自己效勞,全聽不出建侯話中用意,當真
  把稿子交與建侯。建侯接過來,一聲不響,黃臉色裏泛出青來。愛默看建侯一眼,嚮頤𠔌笑
  着說:“費心!”出書房去了。頤𠔌坐下來看那小說,真是那位作者的晦氣!頤𠔌要讓愛默
  知道自己眼光兇、標準高,對那書裏的情節和文字直挑錯兒,就仿佛得了傅聚卿的傳授似
  的。建侯呆呆坐着,對面前的稿子瞪眼,沒有動筆。平時總是他看表叫頤𠔌回傢吃飯的,今
  天直到老媽子出來問他要不要開飯,他纔對頤𠔌強笑,分付他走,看見他帶了那本小說回
  傢,愈加生氣。建侯到飯廳裏,坐下來喝湯,一言不發,愛默也不講話。到底女人是創世以
  來就被壓迫的動物,忍耐心好,建侯先開口了:“請你以後別使喚我的書記,我有正經事兒
  要他幹。你找他辦那些瑣碎的事,最好留到下午,等他幹完我的正事。”
  
   愛默“哼”了一聲用英語說道:“你在和我生氣,是不是?女用人站在旁邊聽着,好意
  思麽?吵嘴也得瞧在什麽地方!剛纔當着你那寶貝書記的面,叫我下不去,現在好好吃飯,
  又來找岔子。吃飯的時候別動火,我勸你。回頭胃病又要發啦!總有那一天你把我也氣成胃
  病,你纔樂意。今天有炸竜蝦,那東西很不容易消化。”那女用人不懂英語,氣色和音調是
  詳得出的,肚子裏暗笑道:“兩口兒在嘔氣了!你們嘰哩咕嚕可瞞不過我。”
  
   飯吃完,夫婦到臥室裏,丫頭把建侯睡午覺的被窩鋪好出去。建侯忍不住問愛默道:
  “我講的話,你聽見沒有?”
  
   愛默坐在沙發裏,抽着煙道:“聽見!怎會不聽見?老媽子、小丫頭全聽見。你講話的
  聲音,天安門、海澱都聽得到,大傢全知道你在教訓老婆。”
  
   建侯不願意戰事擴大,妨害自己睡覺,總結地說:“聽見就好了。”
  
   愛默一眼不瞧丈夫,仿佛自言自語:“可是要我照辦,那不成。我愛什麽時候使喚他,
  由得我。好一副丈夫架子!當着書記和用人,對我吆喝!”
  
   建侯覺得躺着吵架,形勢不利。床是女人的地盤,衹有女人懶在床上見客談話,人地相
  宜。男人躺在床上,就象無險可守的軍隊,威力大打折扣。他坐起來說:“這書記是我用
  的,該聽我支配。你叫他打雜差,也得先嚮我打個招呼。”
  
   愛默扔掉香煙,騰出嘴來供相駡專用,說:“衹要你用他一天,我有事就得找他。老實
  說,你給他的工作並不見得比我叫他做的事更有意思。你有本領寫書,自己動筆,不要找
  人。曹世昌、陸伯麟、傅聚卿都寫了好多書,誰還沒有雇用個書記呢!”
  
   建侯氣得把手拍床道:“好,好!我明天叫那姓齊的孩子滾。幹脆大傢沒書記用。”
  
   愛默道:“你辭掉他,我會用他。我這許多雜事,倒不比你的遊記——”
  
   建侯道:“你忙不過來,為什麽不另用個書記,倒侵占我的人呢?”
  
   愛默道:“先生,可省儉為什麽不省儉?我不是無謂浪費的女人。並且,我什麽時候跟
  你過分傢來?”
  
   建侯道:“我倒希望咱們彼此界限分得清一點。”
  
   愛默站起來道:“建侯,你說話小心,回頭別懊悔。你要分咱們就分。”
  
   建侯知道話說重了,還倔強說:“你別有意誤解,小題大做。”
  
   愛默冷笑道:“我並不誤解。你老覺得人傢把我比你瞧得起,心裏氣不過。前天聽了陳
  俠君的鬍說,?找個相好的女人。嚇!你放心,我决不妨礙你的幸福。”
  
   建侯氣勢減縮,強笑道:“哈哈!這不是藉題發揮是什麽?對不住,我要睡了。”他躺
  下去把被蒙頭不作聲。愛默等他五分鐘後頭伸出來,又說:“你去問那孩子把那本小說要回
  來,我不用他代我看了。”
  
   建侯道:“你不用假仁假義。我下午有事出門,不到書房去。你要使喚齊頤𠔌,就隨你
  便罷。我以後也不寫什麽東西了,反正一切都是這樣!我名分下的東西,結果總是給你侵占
  去了。朋友們和我交情淡,都跟你好;傢裏的用人搶先忙着為你,我的事老擱在後面,,我
  的命令抵不上你的方便。僥幸咱們沒有孩子,否則他們準象畜生和野蠻人,衹知道有母親,
  眼睛裏不認識我這爸爸。”李太太對養育兒女的態度,正象蘇聯官立打胎機關的標語:“第
  一次光顧我們歡迎,可是請您別再來!”但是婦科醫生嚴重警告她不宜生産,所以小孩子一
  次也沒來投胎過。朋友們背後說她真是個“絶代佳人”。她此刻回答道:“說得好可憐!真
  是苦命丈夫哪!用人聽我的話,因為我管傢呀。誰愛管傢!我煩得頭都痛了!從明天起,請
  你來管,讓用人全來奉承你。講到朋友,那更笑話!為什麽嫁你以後,我從前同學時代的朋
  友一個都不來往了。你嚮我計較你的朋友,我嚮誰要我的朋友?再說,現在的朋友可不是咱
  們倆大傢有的?分什麽跟我好,跟你不好?你這人真是小孩子氣。至於書記呢,這種時局今
  天不保明天,誰知道能用他多少時候?萬一咱們搬傢回南,總不能帶着他走呀。可是你現在
  就辭掉他,也得送他一個月的薪水。我並不需要他,不過,你不寫東西也犯不着就叫他馬上
  走,有事時可以差喚差喚。到一個月滿期,瞧情形再說。這是我女人傢算小的話,我又忍不
  住多嘴討你厭了。反正以後一切歸你管,由你作主。”建侯聽他太太振振有詞,又講自己
  “小孩子氣”,不好再吵,便搖手道:“這話別提,都是你對。咱們講和。”愛默道:“你
  衹說聲‘講和’好容易!我假如把你的話作準,早拆開了!”說着出去了,不睬建侯伸出待
  拉的講和的手。建侯一個人躺着,想明明自己理長,何以吵了幾句,反而詞窮理屈,嚮她賠
  不是,還受她冷落。他愈想愈不平。
  
   以後這四五天,建侯不大進書房,成天在外面跑,不知忙些什麽。有一兩次晚上應酬,
  也不能陪愛默同去。頤𠔌的工作並不減少。建侯沒有告訴他遊記已經停寫,仍然不讓他空
  閑,分付他摘譯材料,說等將來一起整理。愛默也常來叫他寫些請帖、謝帖之類,有時還坐
  下來閑談一會。頤𠔌沒有姊妹,也很少親戚來往,寡母衹有他一個兒子,管束得很嚴,所以
  他進了大學一年,從沒和女同學談過話。正象汽水瓶口儘管封閉得嚴嚴密密,映着日光,看
  得見瓶子裏氣泡在浮動,頤𠔌表面上拘謹,心裏早蠢攪着無主招領的愛情。一個十八九歲沒
  有女朋友的男孩子,往往心裏藏的女人抵得上皇帝三十六宮的數目,心裏的污穢有時過於公
  共厠所。同時他對戀愛抱有崇高的觀念,他希望找到一個女人能跟自己心靈契合,有親密而
  純潔的關係,把生理衝動推隔得遠遠的,裹上重重文飾,不許它露出本來面目。頤𠔌和愛默
  接觸以後,他的泛濫無歸的情感漸漸收聚在一處,而對於一個毫無戀愛經驗的男孩子,中年
  婦人的成熟的姿媚,正像暮春天氣或鴨絨褥子一樣泥得人軟軟的清醒不來。戀愛的對象衹是
  生命的利用品,所以年輕時癡心愛上的第一個人總比自己年長,因為年輕人自身要成熟,無
  意中挑有經驗的對象,而年老時發瘋愛上的總是比自己年輕,因為老年人自身要恢復青春,
  這夢想在他最後的努力裏也反映着。頤𠔌到李傢第二星期後,已經肯對自己承認愛上李太太
  了。這愛情有什麽結果,他全沒工夫去想。他衹希望常有機會和她這樣接近。他每聽見她的
  聲音,他心就跳,臉上布滿紅色。這種臉色轉變逃不過愛默的眼睛。頤𠔌不敢想象愛默會愛
  自己,他衹相信愛默還喜歡自己。但是有時他連這個信念都沒有,覺得自己一味妄想,給愛
  默知道了,定把自己輕鄙得一文不值。他又忙忙搜索愛默自己也記不得的小動作和表情來證
  明並非妄想。然而這還不夠,愛默心裏究竟怎麽想呀?真沒法去測度。假如她不喜歡自己,
  好!自己也不在乎,去!去!去她的!把她冷落在心窩外面。可是事情做完,睡覺醒來,
  現她並沒有出去,依然盤據在心裏,第一個念頭就牽涉到她。他一會兒高興如登天,一會兒
  沮喪象墮地,蕩着單相思的鞦韆。
  
   第三個星期一頤𠔌到李傢,老白一開門就告訴他說建侯昨天回南去了,頤𠔌忙問為什
  麽,李太太同去沒有。他知道了建侯為料理房子的事去上海,愛默一時還不會走,心纔定下
  來,然而終不舒泰。離別在他心上投了陰影。他坐立不安好半天,愛默纔到書房裏,告訴他
  建侯星期六晚上回來,說外面消息不好,免不了開戰,該趁早搬傢,所以昨天匆匆到上海去
  了。頤𠔌強作鎮靜地問道:“李太太,你不會就離開北平罷?”象病人等着急救似的等她回
  答。愛默正要回答,老白進來通報:“太太,陳先生來了。”愛默說:“就請他到書房裏來
  ——我等李先生回來,就收了這兒的攤也去。頤𠔌,你很可以到南方去進學校,比這兒安全
  些。”頤𠔌早料到是這回事,然而聽後絶望灰心,衹眼睛還能自製着不流淚。陳俠君一路嚷
  道:“愛默,想不到你真聽了我的話,建侯居然肯把機要秘書讓給你。”他進來招呼了頤
  𠔌,對愛默說:“建侯昨天下午坐通車回南了?”
  
   愛默說:“你消息真快!是老白告訴你的吧?”
  
   “我知道得很早,我昨天送他走的。”
  
   “這事怪了!他事先通知你沒有?”
  
   “你知道他見了我就頭痛,那裏會巴巴地來告訴我?我這幾天無聊,有朋友走,就到車
  站去送,藉此看看各種各色的人。昨天我送一個親戚,誰知道碰上你們先生,他看見我好象
  很不得勁,要躲,我招呼了他,他纔跟我說到上海找房子去。你昨天倒沒有去送他?”
  
   “我們老夫老妻,又不是依依惜別的情人。大不了去趟上海,送什麽行?他也不要人
  送,衹帶了個手提箱,沒有大行李。”
  
   “他有個表侄女和他一起回南,是不是?”俠君含意無窮地盯住愛默。
  
   愛默跳起來道:“呀?什麽?”
  
   “他臥車車廂裏衹有他和一個十七八歲的女孩子,樣子很老實,長得也不頂好,見了我
  衹想躲,你說怪不怪?建侯說是他的表侄女?那也算得你的表侄女了。”
  
   愛默臉色發白說:“他哪裏有什麽表侄女?這有點兒蹊蹺?”“是呀!我當時也說,怎
  麽從沒聽你們說起。建侯輓着那女孩子的手,對我說:‘你去問愛默,她會知道。’我聽他
  語氣嚴重,心裏有些奇怪,當時也沒多講什麽。建侯神氣很落落難合,我就和他分手了。”
  
   愛默眼睛睜到無可再大,說:“這裏頭有鬼。那女孩子什麽樣子?建侯告訴你她的姓沒
  有?”
  
   陳俠君忽然拍着大腿,笑得前仰後合。愛默生氣道:“有什麽可笑的?”頤𠔌恨陳俠君
  闖來打斷了談話,看到愛默氣惱,就也一臉的怒氣。俠君笑意未斂,說:“對不住,我忍不
  住要笑。建侯那大傻子,說做就真會去做!我現在全明白了,那女孩子是他新有的情人,偷
  偷到南方去度蜜月,沒料到會給我這討厭傢夥撞破。他知道這事瞞不了,索性叫我來嚮你報
  信。哈哈!我夢想不到建侯還有那一手!這都是那天茶會上把他激出來的。我衹笑他照我的
  話一字沒改地去做,揀的對象也是相貌平庸,態度寒窘,樣子看來是個沒見世面的小孩子,
  一頓飯、兩次電影就可以結交的,北平城裏多得是!在她眼裏,建侯又闊綽,又偉大,真好
  比那位離婚的美國女人結識了英國皇太子了。哈哈,這事怎樣收場呢!”
  
   愛默氣得管束不住眼淚道:“建侯竟這樣混賬!欺負我——”這時候,她的時髦、能幹
  一下子都褪掉了,露出一個軟弱可憐的女人本相。頤𠔌看見愛默哭了,不知所措,忽然發現
  了愛默哭的時候,她的年齡,她相貌上的缺陷都顯示出來,她的臉在眼淚下也象潑着水的鋼
  筆字,模糊浮腫。同時愛默的眼淚提醒他,她還是建侯的人,這些眼淚是建侯名分裏該有
  的。陳俠君雖然理論上知道,女人一哭,怒氣就會減少,宛如天一下雨,狂風就會停吹,但
  真見了眼淚,也慌得直說:“怎麽你哭了?有什麽辦法,我一定盡力!”
  
   愛默恨恨道:“都是你惹出來的事,你會盡什麽力。你去罷,我有事會請你來。我旁的
  沒什麽,就氣建侯把我蒙在鼓裏,我自己也太糊塗!”
  
   俠君知道愛默脾氣,扯個淡走了。愛默也沒送他,坐在沙發上,緊咬着牙。臉上的淚漬
  象玻璃上已幹的雨痕。頤𠔌瞧她臉在憤恨裏變形換相,變得又尖又硬,帶些殺氣。他意識到
  這是一個厲害的女人,害怕起來,想今天還是回傢罷,就起身說:“李太太——”
  
   愛默如夢乍醒道:“頤𠔌,我正要問你,你愛我不愛?”
  
   這句突兀的話把頤𠔌嚇得呆呆的,回答不上來。
  
   愛默頑皮地說:“你別以為我不知道呀!你愛着我。”怎樣否認這句話而不得罪對方,
  似還沒有人知道。頤𠔌不明白李太太問的用意,也不再願意嚮她訴說衷情,衹覺得情形嚴
  重,想溜之大吉。
  
   愛默瞧第二炮也沒打響,不耐煩道:“你說呀!”
  
   頤𠔌愁眉苦臉,結結巴巴道:“我——我不敢——”
  
   這並不是愛默想象中的回答,同時看他那為難樣子,真教人生氣,不過想到建侯的事,
  心又堅决起來,就說:“這話倒有趣。為什麽不敢?怕李先生?你看李先生這樣胡闹。說怕
  我罷,我有什麽可怕?你坐下來,咱們細細的談。”愛默把身子移嚮一邊,讓出半面沙發拍
  着叫頤𠔌坐。愛默問的用意無可誤解了,頤𠔌如夢忽醒,這幾天來魂夢裏構想的求愛景象,
  不料竟是這麽一回事。他記起陳俠君方纔的笑聲來,建侯和那女孩子的戀愛在旁人眼裏原來
  衹是笑話!一切調情、偷情,在本人無不自以為纏綿浪漫、大膽風流,而到局外人嘴裏不過
  又是一個曖昧、滑稽的話柄,衹照例博得狎褻的一笑。頤𠔌未被世故磨練得頑鈍,想到這
  裏,愈加畏縮。
  
   愛默本來怒氣勃勃,見頤𠔌閃閃躲躲,愈不痛快,說:“我請你坐,為什麽不坐下
  來!”
  
   頤𠔌聽了命令,衹好坐下。剛坐下去,“啊呀!”一聲,直跳起來,彈簧的震動把愛默
  也顛簸着。愛默又驚又怒道:“你這人怎麽一回事?”
  
   頤𠔌道:“淘氣躲在沙發下面,把我的腳跟抓了一把。”
  
   愛默忍不住大笑,頤𠔌哚着嘴道:“它抓得很痛,襪子可能給抓破了。”
  
   愛默伸手把淘氣捉出來,按在自己腿上,對頤𠔌說:“現在你可以安心坐了。”
  
   頤𠔌急得什麽推托藉口都想不出,哭喪着臉鬍扯道:“這貓雖然不是人,我總覺得它懂
  事,好象是個第三者。當着它有許多話不好講。”說完纔覺得這句話可笑。
  
   愛默皺眉道:“你這孩子真不痛快!好,你捉它到外面去。”把淘氣遞給頤𠔌。淘氣掙
  紮,頤𠔌緊提了它的頸皮——這事李太太已看不入眼了——半開書房門,把淘氣扔出去,趕
  快帶上門,衹聽得淘氣連一接二的尖叫,銳利得把聽覺神經刺個對穿,原來門關得太快,夾
  住了它的尾巴尖兒。愛默再也忍不住了,立起來順手給頤𠔌一下耳光,拉開門放走淘氣,一
  面說:“去你的,你這大傻瓜!”淘氣夾着創痛的尾巴直嚮裏面竄,頤𠔌帶着熱辣辣的一片
  臉頰一口氣跑到街上,大門都沒等老白來開。頭腦裏象舂米似的一聲聲頓着:“大傻瓜!大
  傻瓜!”
  
   李太太看見頤𠔌跑了,懊悔自己太野蠻,想今天大失常度,不料會為建侯生氣到這個地
  步。她忽然覺得老了,仿佛身體要塌下來似的衰老,風頭、地位和排場都象一副副重擔,自
  己疲乏得再挑不起。她衹願有個逃避的地方,在那裏她可以忘掉驕傲,不必見現在這些朋
  友,不必打扮,不必鋪張,不必為任何人長得美麗,看得年輕。
  
   這時候,昨天從北平開的聯運車,已進山東地境。李建侯看着窗外,心境象嚮後飛退的
  黃土那樣的幹枯憔悴。昨天的興奮仿佛醉酒時的高興,事後留下的滋味不好受。想陳俠君準
  會去報告愛默,這事鬧大了,自己沒法下臺。為身邊這平常幼稚的女孩子拆散家庭,真不值
  得!自悔一時糊塗,忍不住氣,自掘了這個陷阱。這許多思想,攙了他手同看窗外風景的女
  孩子全不知道。她衹覺得人生前途正象火車走不完的路途,無限地嚮自己展開。

  The most delicate point is rich in the widest intercourse of her. And her husband the most docile, the most harm. If they be of us in these
  , But also stated she lived in Peking before the war, you'll be a conclusion: she is the top of the ancient civilization of the world's first elegant country
  Luxury wife. Because Peking - celebrities like Tangruo Shi Ming and Qing dynasties, Xie curse in Hangzhou are the most popular and most dirty Beijing

  The same ridiculous. Zhoukoudian "Peking Man" remains the discovery of Peking residents also proved excellent. "Peking Man" is a monkey

  More than all the south. Southerners who lived in Peking for their pride, as if the Jews love their country naturalization naturalization

  Outside interests.
  Qing Li's wife's father were survivors, the father of the famous Mrs. Lee, Mr. Lee's father money. Lee's father
  Before the Revolution of months in what the province Fantai release, full of money to make up for a few years Xiangnong shortfall. As the Wuchang Uprising
  Professionals like him trouble, he hated the Republic of teeth. Fortunately he had a protege, Republic of the high officials were disloyal, sent monthly
  Pen honor to him. Concession in Shanghai, where he lives, hold thoughts of the past, enjoy the modern life, with the future in pre-money - on credit
  Meeting of the account to a monthly fee, etc. and then also. Yu Gong gradually realize his own way of making money. Today, the son of a wedding to be witnesses for the upstart,
  Matheson comprador mother died tomorrow, the main points, all need it the remnant of Qing Xie device often capable of reaching the number of monthly fee. Miao comprador
  Not the mother died, the son of nouveau riche parents must all. He Arts and normal, do not write well, but he found just cover a few
  Titles of their own stamp, "a year of Scholars," "a provincial lieutenant-governor," his words and articles on the people to demand a big price.
  He knew death was a price the Qing Dynasty, remnant is worth doing, calm, but also willing to send her daughter to school to study the ocean. Lee
  Father and his fellow, a very long talk about foreign affairs, had been to do when the alternate channel "the rich people rich," the article Chen, Feng gazetted to Shanghai to
  Foreigners ordered the machine, the Qing dynasty died too early, did not appreciate the benefits of Article Chen, he has only himself off. He has also made foreign travel
  Entourage, returned home, the investigation proceeds, divided into four pass on motto: "eat Chinese food, live in Western house, to marry in Japan
  His wife, life with no regrets now! "Through his relatives in the past, present and future, is worthy of him to bring together China, Japan,
  Western. Who knows Jianhou that idiot, the father's home and training in mind upside down. First, he married the wife of a Western than Western
  Wife difficult to cope. Aimo fashionable women in the American-run school graduate, originally was sultry hair, cut the hair girl, after
  "Two Westerner" training, she not only did not obey her husband, and a person to serve her husband not enough. Second, he couples
  Both self-confidence of a civilized man, had to go to Peking to live in the old Chinese style house, equipment, of course, no more westernized Shanghai. S
  Third, he had stomach to eat Japanese food. This long story. Lee grew two points of their own are not satisfied with the face: skin is not
  Is the white, do not double eyelids. The first point is also irrelevant, because she did not care for the kind of red and white doll face, she felt
  The original appearance was cute enough. Single fold it, is indeed great defects, did not fully reveal the rich inner work
  Tools, like the country did not harbor the mainland, property not easily exported. Into the school, she knew single fold is the national emblem of Japanese women,
  So the resourceful, sly beauty establishment of national hospital, the length of the body can not get rid of the full transformation, "Japanese
  Slaves "of the country had to endure, in addition to all facial organs can repair, ugly becomes beautiful, monster into a monster. Mr. Lee to her
  Marry him, she made a number of conditions, Article XVIII is the honeymoon to Japan. One to Japan, she entered the hospital to amend the eyelids,
  The wine with the left cheek dimple deepened. She knew the surgery facilities, people can not see to two weeks, Lee lost its fear of the honeymoon period
  Loneliness in this romantic country, and did not remarry for themselves; so Lee said before the hospital: "You know, I am the cross
  Zheng Dong Hoi, all the way to be suffering nothing more than for you, to please you. My face is your face. I kept the eye,
  Pains and dark, and you the nerve to eat, drink out of a person living in it? You love me, you have to listen to me. You must not like people to
  At the run around. Also, you are the most greedy, but I entered the hospital, you do not the Chinese restaurant, dishes do not eat, can only eat at Dun Dun
  The dishes. You promise me not? I tell you love me, with me suffering, pain when I have some comfort in mind. Eat something bad, you can
  The ascetic, and will not nonsense, waste of a body. You're not high, eat too fat, not pretty. You cheated me back
  I, I know, no longer have a relationship with you. "Two weeks later, Jianhou to the hospital afterwards and meet his wife, the body has not been weight loss,
  Yellow face just wide, listless, and Lee took the new gold bought five hundred Mongol eyes, as if the art electro-optical camera, the
  Her original beauty Huan Ying contrast are out. Her eyelids with the eyes of various gestures of cooperation, open and close, light and dark, sharp, dim
  Hazy, so Jianhou see God, and suspicious of her two eyes, two experts in the scientific management of hiding, or else the transfer will not be cut, as cut,
  Expression would not be so accurate, the effect is not as precise estimates. Jianhou could have been his father's son, from now on fully refined
  God do his wife's husband. Private meeting friends over, Mrs. Lee, as beautiful, how could marry Jianhou. Have money and family background and Jianhou
  Capable people than Jianhou not absolutely not. In fact, the day the two of them did not mismatch. Lee made the kind of woman's husband
  Husband, is three hundred and sixtieth line career in specialized positions, even likened to the doctor is busy, compared the porters also tired, does not allow
  Next to the interests and goals in life. While others laughed Jianhou behind, said he was "the wife of your husband," Mrs. soiled light, small operators
  Celebrities. Lee never thought so. Jianhou his wife's vanity is not an ordinary man the beauty of his wife, doing masters
  Proud of, but a being possessed, doing servant's pride, just like other people's Bipu wide, and big people's personal attendants, or the Colonial Bank
  Indigenous employees in the executive authorities to the outside world to show off. This is the vanity of possession of a husband who is the most rare virtues, can
  He minded, acting by wide. Lee may not know that the lack of the husband; like Bo digital sub-zero thorn in itself no value
  Value, but without it, ten hundred million can not be established. Because any number plus a zero behind it into one, so the zero
  It also followed a number of great significance.
  Married ten years, Mr. Lee Xinguangtipang, his wife called him a good husband, wife's friend said he enough friends. Last month, the
  He inadvertently affected by the stimulus. At a banquet, a bold young playwrights, and his couple with seats. The not out
  Head of the playwright know I have the same Lee, transparently revealing filled pleasure. He also compliments Lee, but also show off talent,
  Simply too close to empty a mouth to bite. The third course, his wife Lee Hui Hui Meng come to visit, the heart is willing to _set_ compensation, can
  Attention to a part of the meal up. Difficult to do two hearts, he already busy; really care less Jianhou, did not and his perfunctory.
  Jianhou heart very unhappy, muttering that this young man home unreasonable sophisticated. That guy really comes to do the next day with a bag of
  Manuscript to catch up at the door, wanting him to see Lee. Jianhou Jin suddenly made a silly boy, hiding in the reception room outside eavesdropping. I had heard a greeting
  After sleeping on the sofa to see naughty, they wonder aloud, praise the cat, "so cute! Really happy!" The manuscript "Please
  Education ", he often came to inquire about a few guests that want an opportunity to see. General said Lee asked him to tea some time,
  We get to know. He did not go, then go to naughty, saying he also loved the cat, the cat is rational, emotional, courageous three
  Germany FULL animals: rat fight it, like getting rid of the knight; it sitting Buddha, like meditation enlightenment philosophers; it is called
  Spring courtship, but also as song lyric poet; what he said the best Siamese cats and Persian, but naughty over them. General and
  In short, he complimented Mrs. Li, praise naughty, there is no word asked Lee. This is to raise awareness Jianhou reflection Men Men
  Not happy for two days, for the transformation of personal life under the determination. From now on, he does not want his wife by the light, it has to have a collar
  Domain, or official, or writings. After a series of calculations, he would like to work hands-on, one does not pretend to express their gentle, Furthermore
  Work can also lead to an official. He _set_ the plan, initially afraid to tell his wife, afraid that she poured cold water. One day he could not help but say
  , Lee unexpectedly in favor of his wife, said: "You have to show, this is the time. I have always been too selfish, did not care to indulge
  Missed your career! After you concentrate on writing, do not run outside with me. "
  What does work? Jianhou mind is not very good, when the student, by copying the old lecture notes to students, graduates in foreign countries
  Paper or spend money on hiring Jews contracting the. After marriage, contact with many people, he heard a familiar term in many fashionable and public
  Type, can be properly applied in the conversation, as a personal opinion. Fact, the average content of the masterpiece, it just so. Jianhou wrong
  Through the teenage years, do not write articles written abruptly, and now the work too seriously, and there are middle-aged women to raise their first child
  That kind of worry. He carefully consider the most appropriate genre. Bad brain, no thinking, no good; but sometimes a large book
  All need a good mind, just better ass, listening to be Xi Cheng said, the Germans put the "hip seat" (Sitzfleisch) as
  Intellectuals will be a condition. For example, as long as the ride of, Water Margin, or the mansions of the names do not bother compiled can always be attracted

  Not worth it yourself. Also only write the recipes. At this point their is no doubt the authority of his wife treat non-mention
  Transfer is not, friends, not to mention the push service. Because of the stomach, and abstain from the alcohol and tobacco, even more acute sense of the tongue, for
  The aesthetic taste of even more strict. And a good dinner, eat it at least three times: in advance of its expected taste, first in the ideal
  Eat once; eat when guarding a doctor's warning not a big bang, so reluctantly; to finish later recalled, but also eat in the recollected
  Once. After such repeated and the three of chewing, the food hidden evil and Private, revealed completely. Yes, if you are willing to write their own recipes,

  Department. "That guy has still never forget the laughter. He maliciously on Aimo said:" You do not Mr. translation, too bad!
  Maybe you can talk to Fuju Qing, employed Jianhou when the "integration of the world famous" freelance translator, with royalties treat. "Detestable Aimo also
  And his laugh. The mood to write recipes, give this thing sweeps the. And, by the accounts of modern people not serious about the cause of eating, Xia-jun was
  Open Wan Xiao said: "The foreign-made tea and coffee Matheson, and all the heavy price of hiring 'tasting staff', poured out all kinds of tea, cook a variety of
  Coffee, asked him to tried and grading, pricing of money. The one hundred a day gotta drink tea or coffee, but, fortunately only in the tongue

  Head! "If writing recipes for him to know this, there was a jokes. After much deliberation, or the European and American travel writing, both beneficial and more
  Fun is part of the soft and hard work. Travel writing may wish to ask for help without having to declare co-operation, as long as I did swim across Europe,
  By other people's hands to write impression that is nothing about. Lectures like copyright, is no sketch of the recorder
  No points. This fear started to write with his temper is not the most affordable. First with a private secretary to say, the top is not graduated and want to make good
  Money college students.
  At that time, Qi Yigu patriots schools became fierce, to a large number of military police to arrest, with charges to sit in jail.
  Originally Yigu timid, afraid that their son to his widowed mother, the students implicate the temporary suspension at home. Was removed through the introduction, the first four days
  Times on the Jianhou door. The nineteen year old big kid, blue cloth coat, drums suit pants, black shoes, square head, used to the left
  _Insert_ed in the pants pocket, the weight of the hair less equatorial, rather pleasant face with a door to the red, a pair of fake eyes to the black
  And bright as he is absolutely not good enough for the heart and intelligence of his pupil deep and flexible. The young Italian Jianhou very, slightly asked a few
  Sentence, and ordered him to start work tomorrow, the first trial month. Yigu left, Jianhou a group happy, go talk to Aimo pick
  A favorite secretary. Aimo had laughed at him as a child a new toy, said: "I have a naughty and who need your secretary!"
  Body in the naughty rubbing his face asked: "We do not care for his secretary, is not it? - Oh! Bad, really annoying!" Lee
  Face powder to the naughty wife licked a go, she fell off the cat, to stand up to the mirror.
  Two half days in Yigu to Li, and Jianhou also Xiangde. Shy, he met Jianhou, does not take very daunting. Since the Council Jianhou
  Since speaking, life has never met anyone willing to let him continue to speak as willing as Yigu serious, patient, excited
  Listen to him. He did not know what has been surging as much as turning such eloquence. These two days, his self-esteem, as _insert_ed into the typhoid fever
  Human mouth thermometer, helicopter up. He understand the role of the private secretary, a secretary who will feel that they amplify a few
  Times, driving up the layers. He discussed this with first Yigu name and travel writing, by the way about a lot of ocean views. So the first day
  To eat lunch, Yigu already know a student Jianhou make friends in the United States how wide, how much money each year, the University
  How difficult homework, how graduation is not easy; machine civilization, the number of surprising how a New York City, you can link up the car around the Earth
  The ball of one week; him how to promote Chinese Americans, he wore what color and pattern of the Chinese gown to the fancy dress ball to be;
  He was sick in a foreign country, simmer chicken every day, the landlady how to eat, how an American girl every day, send flowers, flower there is also
  Disease with a note asking children, above the name of "×" number - "you know it?" Jianhou hee opened his mouth, his face and asked Yigu naughty,
  "Go and ask your girlfriend, she will know that this is kiss marks. In Western social openness, this was usually
  Very! "Travels of the subject can be considered to develop the two," Journey to the West "or" Walking in Europe and America ", the former is more muddy, and the latter is more
  Fashionable. Yigu lunch that day back office, they know to write this travelogue, the impression in the pen outside Jianhou above, have to participate in
  Consider the U.S. "National Geographic Society", "Travel Magazine" and "must have" (Baedeker) and "did not come"
  (Murray) city guide published by the two companies, seeking material to supplement. Tomorrow morning, before deciding which travel the Jianhou down
  Write, do not write to go abroad, but returned to write and how to roam from the United States to Europe, in Italy by boat back to China. His argument is that a
  Travel like people are starting to write from abroad, on the ship, all the way to look around, less is more strange, full of small family does not see the world
  Son gas; their lives in the Americas for three years, with the Western civilization, not old experts to, and another country to play, though to see some new
  Fresh things and show and not like the country people first arrived in Metropolis, speechless wonder, demeaning. He said: "When traveling home,
  Lin Rong-entering the country at least as the government, and when traveling abroad it, fear will inevitably like Grandma Liu entered the Grand View Garden. "Yigu gave
  Friends to listen to opera great Mingdan good pull of "Farewell China", so have seen full body strong Lin (as if
  "Continued Dream" in Jing Huan Lin fairy to physical fitness eat panacea, served to advance her is like a funeral flower), but see
  Jianhou talking about refers to the program, since the ratio of Lin Tai-yu, could not help but laugh. Jianhou even more proud, Yigu quickly said: "Mr. Lee, so that travel
  Remember the subject is again changed. "Jianhou thought and said:" Coincidentally enough, the day before the newspaper was in the translation of the UK to see the small Hardy
  Said, "Return of the Native mind", this name is pretty readily available; my book called "Haike Return of the Native mind", you see ok! "A meal
  After the preface to the first to write Jianhou should suddenly; routinely printed in the preface before the book was written after Quanshu Wan draft. Yigu thought to himself, which in turn
  Is written down. Jianhou oral comments, Yigu down, organize, play, edit, until the day of the lunch naughty go wrong
  Only when a fair copy to look over Jianhou. After two and a half days work, Yigu psychological disappearance of the fear Jianhou clean. Young people
  The extreme that he was unsparing in his contempt for the owner; he saw Jianhou boredom, vanity, intellectual poor, neglected
  Jianhou benefits for people and others. He should appreciate Jianhou offered a fairly high price to hire its own to do such a matter of no great urgency; he Zhihen
  Jianhou relying on the money, sacrifice time and energy of young people to write nonsense to back him. He was facing the draft cat scratch
  Son, had to copy a Nazhu temper again. Perhaps the creature'd naughty bits of insight, courage critics, and its destruction of heritage
  Behavior, not on this post know that the most happy and effective criticism? Thought of this, Yigu a smile.
  Jianhou know this, compassion, is also an apology to the Yigu own negligence. Yigu no greater reason for the anger. A day
  Morning saw Jianhou Yigu, said: "At half-past four this afternoon, my wife you tea." Yigu giggle politely,
  Really feel flattered. Jianhou went on to say: "She wanted to meet you, last night I told her the naughty with you trouble, her ten
  Points Sorry, the naughty curse the meal. Just a tea party today, the way you get to talk about. "This makes Yigu ashamed of it,
  Like they do not understand etiquette, not pay attention to clothes, fashionable audience with his wife, quasi-absurd, he turned down, said: "are strangers, I went to
  I'm sorry. "Jianhou said gently:" There is no sorry. Are you here today who heard only in my
  Home, you will see them together. Do not miss the opportunity. I have something to go out, you put the first chapter of the New York
  Data collected. To half past four, I'll take you inside. If I do not come, you ask for the old white wizard. "Yigu the whole half-day
  Had no desire to do anything, but fortunately Jianhou not, you can not fear to go slow. Very much hope that many names have contact with electromagnetic force
  People, who fear that they laugh at yourself, look down on themselves. Is best to lead into Jianhou, shy but also seems to have a buffer; such as
  If your old white-collar way, a way into the living room without protection, it is embarrassed by. If Jianhou not come, the old non-white is not called, the problem is more
  It! If time in, no to the next guest, the hostess _set_ to sneer, when to eat early and late retirement, you need to fight
  And as the first to bring up the rear when the courage of their own can not take the risk. If guests are coming, to go after their own, the public purpose of the note, more
  Can not stand. After much deliberation, only one way, half past four or so, the plot Ling ears to listen to the doorbell rang. Old white lead guests to the customer
  Hall, was through the study. The first guests, and went himself immediately; hostess and the guests are busy socializing with each other, their
  Not in their focus of attention under the constraint.
  When the time is Jianhou stay with him in the. Entered the living room, Yigu face to flush, the eyes from the floor before the water vapor, a vague knowledge
  Road, a fashionable woman with a smile and his greeting. Sat down after watching Yigu carpet, looked up to see Mrs. Lee did not look at the power, only
  She felt nervous on the opposite, suddenly found himself in the foot too stretched out, busy withdrew it, his face red and deep a shadow.
  He also could not hear what Lee talking about naughty words. Lee Yigu see this shy, some with compassion like and want this child
  Will normally not dealt with a woman, asked: "chai, you are not male and female school students?" Lee knows
  Road in the nian tou, just as schools do not accept a woman a woman monk monastery shelter is not the same as goods.
  "No -"
  "Yeah?" Mrs. Lee was surprised down.
  "Yes, yes!" Yigu corrected himself in despair. Lee to be a wink with the Jianhou, said nothing, only to Yigu
  Smile. This laughter is Aimo for Yigu and hair. Boxing people as the bridge sticking plaster and Europe sell for obscure poems to send this smile
  In the bedding, rich speaking we not have to really believe. It contains comfort, protection, love, encouragement, etc. components. Yigu also
  Not dare to look the other way Aimo, Aimo laugh, just as the victory prayer, charitable donations and other good intentions of giving, the other has not been good
  Department. White also cited the old customers come in, Aimo got served, the heart has to stay much longer in this clever children, and think he is subject to the conditions
  Sense of education, old age. Jianhou Yigu shoulder shot, said: "Do not stiff!" Lee Yigu shy couples to understand, to the guests and only
  Too abstract, introduction, pointing far to say hello and let him sit without striking Kaobi sofa. Yigu gradually relaxed,
  Pay tribute to these heard so much about name of the visitor.
  Loud speaker was a tall horse, the famous political commentator, every day "is on the News" on the editorial. International or national
  What political changes from within, he can always prove it just after he expected, or he had implicitly predicted. Known large
  , And his tone is also larger. Especially in private conversation, do you think he is not a political commentator, is simply a politician, not only about
  Political situation at home and abroad, and speak to rather like the one he is the pivotal human, as if the weather forecasters on the Hong Kong Observatory said, scraping
  Wind or rain, like himself for the winner. He has openly told the reader an article habits: he went to bed every night
  Sleep before the calendar day total to a tear, unlike most people, one night woke up to see or not torn off, "Yesterday
  Day. "From this section, you can imagine what kind of person he was self-righteous. This tension in Sino-Japanese relations these days, he worries about the editorial
  No questions.
  Leaning on the sofa, curled feet is Yuanyou Chun Doo smoking. He brought a young age go abroad for foreign missionaries. Follow the migration

  His aim seems to Boxer's "Support the Qing, destroy the foreign", the major principles of high Geqi foreign religion, and to promote Chenmei Gong, Qing Wang hundred Valley, etc.
  Off style. Read his stuff, there is always a feeling of food substitutes, like vegetable oil coated bread, red soup of MSG. More like
  Chinese restaurants in foreign countries, opened in the "chop suey" and only did not eat authentic Chinese food to people, it was when the thought of Chinese flavor.
  He coax the country's layman, but also to coax the foreigners - that is only a layman suits. He recently published a number of stresses in the

  Often mention it, he said he was inspired entirely smoke, like Li Bai's poems have come from the wine. Some say he is not afraid of smoked board

  Sleepy. Added that his work should not be sold in a bookstore should be in the pharmacy as a sleeping pill products on sale, than the "Luo there"
  (Luminal), "Ottawa children" (Ortal) all work and no side effects. These words are jealous of him said,
  Make no guarantee, of course.
  Behind so many people about his harsh words, there is another touted his friend Lu Bolin, the one that left a handful of Japanese

  Did not like, he said it tastefully side, own style, it is the Chinese people to learn, just like that sour wine, vinegar, both strong that in essence the same.
  Furthermore, he goes as far as the standard wine vinegar. Chinese cultural relics without bonsai, haiku, tea ceremony, the atmosphere, and gave him one yelled

  Man, tend to Wealthy. Because the skin dark, heavy makeup on her face, as is appropriate. Because the eyes and teeth are good, but slightly higher cheekbones,
  She should laugh, should speak, should change in expression. Although she often open, but not much, a nod, smile, _insert_ed into one or two
  Sentence, back again, and another speech. She was not a woman to show off talent, just love manipulating so many friends, like magic
  People who have skills or throw or take his hands at the same time taking into seven or eight points of the plate in the air. Yigu privately wonder how the people since the
  Are nearly four-year-old, long-famous people. He did not understand the middle-aged man to have a net worth of the prestigious Lee house, is that they are
  The only economy in the romantic relationship between the insurance will not go wrong, will not absurd, do not spend money, but to the spirit of the holidays,
  With the club to escape the family. Jianhou not on their suspicions, but they have interest in each other jealous, only willing to pass the point
  Power Cooperation: Lee acquaintance of a new interest, they both speak ill of some clever liking. Sell their foreign
  Lane and Lee's friendship, but no one was allowed outsiders easily into Li's friendship circle. In this way, Lee is more elusive
  The. In fact, they are not Lee's friends, can only be considered Lee's habit of phase five or six years, know ourselves,
  Call move out, master is maintained, she do not bother to worry about machines, develop new habits. Only this time came in the comparison of Chen Xia Jun was her
  Cronies.
  Chen Xia Jun reason is nothing to do most often to go to Lee to move around. He studied painting in France, but he does not rely on this
  Living. He tasted that the capitalist world outside, and the "proletariat" of the workers there is a confrontation between the "jobless Order
  Class ", or having a heritage, proper job Gongzigeer. He barely count belong to this class. He first returned to Shanghai, quite like
  Efforts to emerge from the painting as a career. Who knows Shanghai this place, what love foreign goods, that is, no one say in Western painting.
  Western-style layout of the house or hanging hall, banners, Hengpi and the like. His great uncle is a famous country artist, but not the permeability
  TV, not paint; get rid of "foreign cemetery," and tap water, nor shopped famous Silk Market, but relies on the collection and Japan ancestral
  Collotype "South Estampes", frame landscape today, "like big buff pen meaning" tomorrow frame trees and rocks, "have seen Yunlin have this" business
  Busy. This is a rage of artistic conscience, Chen Xia ruler. He told him that his uncle: "O my dear nephew, you
  The wrong way! Western painting I do not know, but smaller than the one we have paintings of the artistically, and not intended as subtle as Chinese painting.
  For example, a bank manager asked me before that his bank parlor frame hall, you learn foreign paintings of people imagine how to draw
  Method is to cut bank, a good color to mouth, and not tacky explicit. "Xia Jun imagine, had to shake his head. His great uncle Oh
  Laugh, spread out the paper roll and said: "Look at my painting!" The picture is a litchi tree, covered with large and small, litchi, says:
  "Lucrative Fig. Pro Lo the two peaks of the" Xia Jun looked angry and laughed. His uncle asked, "happiness map" how to painting, Xia Jun true
  Thought he to himself to ask, Yuanyuanbenben told him that in Western mythology, the goddess is happy with the eye bandage, female foot flywheel
  People. His uncle Nianzhao beard smile, but also spread out a roll of paper, painted an apricot, five bats, inscription: "The apricot bat who
  Homonym of happiness also; bat count to five, Dr. Chen is also harmonic. Self passed away. "Xia Jun only admire, though reluctantly. His uncle as well
  Many female students, most of the outer room is a rich businessman; these financial Weng busy during the day to make money, afraid of the mistress of a small mansion was no longer at
  Chat, or law-abiding, often called recreation items can they learn. Ideally, of course, Chinese painting, you can show off and easy to learn.
  Thanks to the door to study painting sir, better than next to the teachers, children must be known, it also earned face, and the masters of Chinese painting on the nineteenth
  The age, not to lure women, can safely be entrusted. Jun Xia young, but also a life of debauchery of the French students, people first
  His third defense; study Western painting painting models specifically heard, there is no guarantee does not also draw the Dream of Red stupid sister called "fairy fight", then
  Immoral by. Xia Jun cold enough in Shanghai and moved to live in Peking, had some friends say speculation, gradually restored
  Self-esteem, however, that kind of momentum can no longer return home early drum it up. Because he too lazy to not do anything, people thought he was on the
  King could do anything. He also became a celebrity. He was only talking not lazy, still talking in your sleep at night to sleep. He does best with female
  Human speech. He knew that women do not like men too much respect for them, so he played with a compliment, to meet with the offended. For example,
  Birthday last month in Lee, she has to remember her birthday wish was to know her birth year rather than the period was, of course, customers
  Said they were old, we all protest, said: "not old! Not old!" Only Xia Chen Jun said: "The fast of the old! Or young
  The girls gave you lose out, and then in his early days without it! "
  Guests Qi, employing up to send refreshments. Lee called Yigu sitting next to pour the first cup of tea for himself, the second cup of tea
  Pour him and asked him to a few sugar. Yigu politely hesitant, said: "Thank you, do not sugar." Lee looked at him, smiling softly
  Said: "Do not they just deny that you like and female school students, which in less than polite! Do not put sugar, this tea does not taste good. I simply do not
  Ask you, give you add milk. "Thank Yigu days, this time Dajiadoumang the conversation, no one noticed his embarrassment, Lee
  Wife's smile and eyes look as happy as if his heart to suddenly hot stuff hot pain. He mechanically transfer the tea spoon, a good one
  Others will not hear what he was saying.
  Jianhou said: "Xia Jun, when you come to the ears burning yet? We all call you."
  Xia Chen Jun said: "We who do not Mashui behind -"
  Aimo interrupted: "I scolded who did not."
  Xia Jun left by the chest, sitting Aimo deep bend to the apostate: "I never scolded you." Back to Jianhou asked: "curse
  What do I do? Why not talk to hear, 'There are corrections, if any, Tsutomu. '"
  Horse drinking tea in the newspaper have done on the manuscript, he cut in and said: "yells at you haughtily, each intends to late, we delay
  Time, waiting for you alone. "
  Yuanyou Chun said: "People say you that the artist's habit of sitting in the French Latin Quarter cafe learned, saying people do
  No sense of time, so the 'time is money' the phrase had to borrow the English. I have a different view, I think you were born this
  Late temper, no, not born there this temper, you must rely on the October meet also refused born. "
  We all laughed, Xia Chen Jun has not answered, Fu Juqing coldly said: "This humor is too bulky, and to the butcher house to call
  Look, afraid of no small weight. "
  Yuan Youchun reddish face, eyes open to see Fuju Qing said: "The British use the pound as a unit, do not speak weight, you are exposing counterfeit British
  Chinaman's true features came. "
  Chen Xia Jun drinking tea, said: "Unfortunately! Pity! This tea to you run a voice to quarrel, which really wrong! I can today
  So you did not mean tired, had just sent a friend of the family on the train back south to go, so late. Within two days the wind, tight
  Years, a lot of people want to move out of here. Horse, you say, it does not play this battle? Your message to the Law better than we do. "
  Cao Shichang micro deep meaning to say: "You look at his editorial. National affairs, private visit, will not answer."
  A few mouth and said: "To read his editorials, do not see why they are, so to ask him." Yigu also think that this relationship
  To vital interests, such as horse only finished in the "sandwich" free mouth to speak. Lee said: "Yes! I have to have a
  Preparation. Peking really dangerous, only to rent the house to come back to Shanghai, south to the food Jianhou should get out. But three
  Years ago in the summer, more intense than it is now too! Japanese planes in the head turn, we are rushing back to the south, flat front of second-class Shanghai Express
  The corridor was full of passengers, the car packed for a third night to turn around, what a joke there. Later, a major event into nothing,
  People who go back, a gift for a trip. In recent years, we're used to a false alarm, What is it perhaps not. Use, you see
  How? "
  Seem to have forgotten horse in the physical health on starch digestion in the mouth should be a lesson, chew bread, finished off the disc
  Child brushed the chest next to the towel dipped in bread crumbs, frowning, said: "It was difficult to say for sure ... ..."
  Lee made sex, said: "No! You can not not talk." Fuju Qing said: "Why hesitant? No harm to
  Your own decisions about perspective. Honest with you, old horse, I would never put your authentic; anyway you speak in this Manager
  Editorials are not doing so, you are responsible for what live. You know good and bad fortune, we would go to divination, divination, ask spread _set_ Word Analysis
  People, not according to your words of great political commentator action. "
  Only when the horse did not hear, and Lee said: "I think war is not being played. First, we have not fully prepared
  Second, I get the message, if we go to war with Japan, Russia may have to take advantage of hands-on, which I can not the source of the public
  Cloth, because it is the top reliable. Third, the Far East to protect American interests, will not sit idly by Japanese aggression against China, I know them and
  The practical assistance we have a tacit understanding. Japan's fear of Russia, we still have scruples to the Anglo-American, never afraid to really dry up. Fourth,
  Our government leaders with the hope off Le, Mexico Shali Ni most friendly, Germany, Italy States and our sympathy to help the Japanese to break Buzhi Yu
  Contain the Anglo-American. Therefore, our observation, two or three years there will not be war. Of course, the world is often unexpected things. "
  Lee hate said: "You are so annoying! Heard you a lot of words, just a little worry, again so much of a
  Sentence! "I am sorry to giggle in the horse, as if the accident was his oversight of the war of blame. Caoshi Chang asked:" So, the current
  How to end the tension it? "
  Yuanyou Chun said contemptuously: "Well! What? We can give."
  "That Goodness me!" Jianhou said Yigu heart also crashed response.
  "Do not give things worse," Fuju Qing, Lu Bolin also said.
  Xia Chen Jun said: "concessions! Got so until when? Big deal perished, might as well fight to you die with me in Japan
  Live. Honestly, Peking was not memorable. In this situation and sustainable air grievances, we improve day by day people perished along
  Level, I can not stand! Only fight! "Just at that banged the table, said his match words with deeds, as if playing in Japan proved that this
  People. Yushan Zhao, sitting in his fright right jump, the tea is poured on clothes.
  Lee smiled and said: "Look at you that shares stupidity! Careful not to break my tea. 'Fight!' You are willing to fight on the front line
  Why? "
  Xia Jun is an apology to Jade, said: "all my fault! Back to your wife what should take this tea stains arguing with you -" heard
  This, come back to the face said: "I would not, I can not, and I dare not. I am a coward, I'm afraid of fire."
  Jianhou shrugged his shoulders, to be a wink to the others, Fuju Qing said: "You are willing to admit weakness, which is the greatest courage
  Gas. The nian tou, no one dare not speak their own fear of war. Dare to speak so frankly, you are still the first one. Some people consider their
  The shrink cover into policy, said that peacekeeping, said a temporary compromise, not to act rashly, impulsively. Some shouted anti-
  War, virtual sound away people just want to cry to scare away the Japanese, heart and do not want to, it does not believe that this war really occurred. Thousands
  Sentence and the sentence to say, we are timid and too brave to be installed, no one had the courage to dare to be honest cowardice. But you afraid of war, but also
  Advocate war, which is somewhat contradictory. "
  Xia Jun pour the milk saucer and told to lick the naughty, naughty stroking the hair, said: "This is not contradictory. This is
  Is a traditional psychology, which is the cat's psychology. We have always said, 'and skilled service which Shangxing', 'good soldiers ominous'
  But said, 'no alternative but to use military force'. Fear of war, to avoid war, no to avoid a hit. When not playing afraid of death, to
  Forgot to play dead when scared. I have a foundation in Chinese studies is not deep, can not remember what a famous ancient said, the soldiers have the courage
  From out of fear, fear of fear of enemies, but more afraid of fear of their own generals, only to move forward against the enemy. For example, in the guts of livestock
  Is the smallest sub-cats, but we only saw the young child to the family cat, scratch the skin, never seen family dog will bite pain
  Children. You put the children under one year old cat or dog with you compared to understand the cat and the other two is not four-legged animal
  The same. Your child intimidation, pretend to hit him, he started to cry. Your dog this way, it must be legs in the air, swinging the two
  A front paw as if waving please do not fight, rolling around the body. Only the cat, the more fear it more fierce attitude, mustache stud is quite
  Straight, feet melon full of muscles, as Zhang has not issued a bow string, ready to tell you hard. However, much less a dog brave cat, which Taijiaduzhi
  Road. Therefore, the fear of war with the war not as Fu Juqing can imagine that contradiction. "
  Yuan Youchun think this argument can be left quite to the characteristics of their own articles about the Chinese people go by, so quietly, as if
  Did not hear. Lu Bolin said: "I never thought would address Jun Xia. Today's something they can compile a novel back to the head: 'pound the table,
  Chen Xia Jun generous declaration; turn the cup, Zhao Yushan dripping angry 'or:' Chen Xia Jun from the ratio of kittens; Zhao Shan Qi, such as old
  Tiger. '"Everyone laughs Lu Bolin" unethical, "Zhao Yushan row shook his head and said:" Nonsense! Barrier! "
  Caoshi Chang said: "I do not have the breadth of Mr. Chen, but we intellectuals are we on the national responsibility. We can
  Force could be done and should be up to do. I think we should arouse international sympathy, first won the support of public opinion, not the Japanese letter
  Behavior defined for sanctions. This unofficial propaganda abroad, you are more proficient in a foreign culture should be done. Yuen in this
  Have great achievements, Mr. Fu also no harm to your little? Held in London this spring, Chinese Art Exhibition has been cited
  People from the cultures of the world's attention on China, which is the best opportunity, do not miss. Strike while the iron while it is hot - if not
  Heat, we played it hot. "It was a few words of Yigu convinced, like, after all, Cao Shichang sense.
  Fuju Qing said: "You are too think much of me, this is only capable of Friends of the spring. But, you have a little too sympathetic to foreign countries
  High, but emotionally sympathetic to the luxury and unrealistic. We sympathize with Jade, who is willing to let the middle of a silly effort to help
  He went to Mrs. Chao uniform? Chan Man Chun we saw that he poured a tea harm, Lubo old speech, loss of him, let him against injustice
  No? Vital interests of foreigners know about, it will naturally come to aid. Modern so-called traditional media is not clear proposal. Dictatorship
  Countries, the intention of the Government control of public opinion paper, not about the newspaper to the Government by the people as the British national strike, the country
  Newspapers have reported that the valve controlled by one or two hands, this report is not intelligent valve intellectuals with a conscience, but to rely on newspapers
  Ambitions of wealth and expansion of capitalist forces, where will be hosting what is fair? The London exhibition it, let me tell you a resistant
  Xunwei words. A British friend wrote to me that most people in Europe used to start to feel interested in Japanese art, because
  Russo-Japanese war, the Japanese won the battle; is determined in the days before the war, defeated the Chinese standard, so all of a sudden occurrence of Chinese art
  Curiosity, like a big house want to change the owner, the neighbors will go to visit. "
  Lu Bolin yawn said: "These words do not need to be discussed. Anyway, the Chinese do not fight to gas, to rely on others. Properly with Japan
  Society, by the Anglo-American protection, but much to choose. I do not understand that there are any different. Say it is humiliation, both
  National humiliation. The Japanese had come true poor, true that British and American people keep the good intentions. I would rather tend to Japan, more or less the same, the text
  Also a lot of similarities. I know I say this, people have to pay the curse roundly's. "
  Xia Chen Jun said: "This tunnel is the 'Nippon' words. Peacetime Japan through to the war occurred, the name of the back better
  Come into 'pass Japan', - Bo old, offend offend! Offends you, we speak of Hunan rude, I do not know taboo
  The. "Followed by these words because Lu Bolin discolor angry face, hands are shaking twist beard. Chinese people around the only Guangdong and Guangxi,
  Hunan, Shandong Coushang reluctantly, it may valiant four provinces, said: "We are born in this place to temper that."
  They debate the growth of sites like a reason to challenge the slogan. Ning Lu Bolin is the Shanghai-Hangzhou railway line of the indigenous, and his
  Name does not ring home; only beaten by his native scold behind him, to explain or excuse his behavior, his membership in the quarrel
  Not consistent momentum to help the. So the moment he actually can not think of words to resist Chen Xia Jun "we Hunan", Besides, he had just
  Predicted to be scolded, now actually in the prophecy, and also blame what?
  Zheng Xi Sign avoid disputes shall be said: "From the political point of view, we are the declaration of war, I can not decide. I order
  More openings for young people has suffered a curse. But from the ultra-political point of view, war is perhaps the spirit of our nation
  Needs, a large-scale war can stimulate latent virtues of our nation, to help us restore the health and mental
  State self-esteem. Of course, pain is unavoidable casualties, terror, displacement, famine, and a Qieyi classes Kuznets's
  'Four Horsemen' can bring disaster. But these are the things should be the course of the war, the hero in the whole glorious heroic spirit
  , The partial compensation for the pain got. Life was originally a way, from the ugly and evil in the refined beauty and good. As fresh on the table
  Milk, white sugar, fragrant tea, beautiful and delicious dessert, after the entrance of these good things, to our students through the gut
  The role of chemical management, metamorphism and deformation, the kind of mushy state is simply unimaginable bad, think of it is also the sweet incense for the
  Sad good things done an injustice. However, such non-dirty process, not the United States and physical health. I - "
  Lee cut him: "You speak Jiaoren to nausea it! We women do not want to hear the arguments that beat around the bush. Life
  There are many hateful, repulsive, all the unreasonable things, can not be avoided. If the war inevitable, you worthwhile looking for esoteric reasons,
  Prove that it is reasonable, prove it better. You find reasons for war, and can not raise the war, but desecrated the truth, we listen to
  Occurrence of all suspicion of the truth, that maybe is not decorated chicanery. We need to do, not necessarily a good thing. You kind of
  Say, almost deceive myself, and I do not. "Yigu hear from God, watching the speech Aimo side, eyes like
  Two-star crystal fire, burning surprise and admiration. Chen Xia Jun eyes quickly saw him like this, smile, Aimo to be a wink. Love
  Mo Yigu look back, Yigu shame looked down, his fingers twisted into a small ball of bread. Jun Xia Chen asked not to relax:
  "This gentleman name? Had just been late, very absurd, not to ask." Yigu are ten pairs of eyes, light from the two faces have their own
  Fever, heart wished he could have a knife to kill Chen Xia Jun, and hear my voice and replied: "My name is Qi." Jianhou said: "I
  Forget to introduce to you, this chai is to help me organize the material, who had not smart. "" Oh! Well! "This is Chen Xia
  Jun answer. If one day the world would like that thing from the people, Chen Xia Jun and then face the hot and spicy, like a slapped Yigu
  Feeling.
  "You do not hire a woman down - secretary?" Yuanyou Chun asked Jianhou. He had to say "female secretary", I suddenly thought it said
  Call was too plain, so maybe listening Yigu secretary harsh, so busy honorific title changed to "Secretary", and admire his heart machine
  Spiritual and thoughtful.
  Caoshi Chang said: "It do not ask! Wife is willing to approve it? Female secretary would not help much busy."
  Lee said: "It is also, as saying. With his female secretary with a house, I have no control, you're busted on me, building
  Hou, right? "Jianhou greasy giggling.
  Yuanyou Chun said: "Jianhou can secure safe to use the female clerk, and never any trouble to lure decent girl joke. Home
  Aimo such a beautiful lady stood, his eyes high, do not want him to go down easy. "
  Chen Xia Jun Jianhou a look and said: "He wants to lure, fear has no guts."
  Jianhou hold anger, strong laughed: "You know I cowards?"
  Xia Jun shouted: "This is simply outrageous! Aimo, do you hear? Is driving you up, Mr. custody."
  Aimo laughed: "Some people fall in love with Jianhou, it is best not. This proves that the eyes of my husband to pick good people around me were eyes
  Tours. I am the proud, and never eat the 'taboo'. "
  Aimo, then although beautiful, in fact, irrelevant; for Chen Xia Jun fancy about Jianhou next to a woman, not about the woman at the next
  In Jianhou. But no one corrected her. Jun Xia Chen continued: "Perhaps more than Jianhou courage, appetite will not be enough. We were to
  Middle-aged, food color two basic desires, as long as any one also strongly, and the person is not too old. Both desire to each other
  Pass; according to a person eating habits, we tend to love when you can launch his temper - "
  Lu Bolin eyes fixed on the front of the cup, as if his beard, said: "Aimo just said she will never eat sour twist
  Vinegar, but her favorite sweet & sour fish, oh! "Jianhou said:" That is right! Xia Jun specialized nonsense, as if he knows anything
  Road! "
  Xia Jun ignore Lu Bolin, head of Jianhou name of circle, said: "Because she likes sweet & sour fish, so I concluded that she would
  Jealous. You be careful with, do not be happy! "
  Lee smiled and said: "This is lip service! Good stop, good strike! Count me in vinegar Pinger, vinegar jug, Cugang children, you say
  Down. "
  Xia Jun stab people over the ball like a needle, the gas leak, said idly: "have nothing to tell. Jianhou appetite does not bite
  Well, want to come, nor is he in love and more people are greedy. "
  "And some are better, like his cooking, like how many women did not qualify his aesthetic standards," Fu poly
  Qing said. Jianhou Listen, triumphantly.
  "His words wrong," said Xia Jun could not help: "Men love the most was not the beauty. We'd preparedness
  Looks normal, pretty middle of the woman. Met a famous beauty, we can only admire her, not love her. This is not our old
  Ugly smelly men have been humbled, knowing no hope, no way to do toad eat Tian Erou dream. Enhance her beauty with us her
  Psychological distance, as if a dangerous sign, make us timid, cowardly, afraid to close. If we love her, we like
  Gansi adventurous warriors, have knowingly mind. In turn, we met a woman, saw that she was not up to
  Hate, and from the time and do not have excuses. Scared! Suddenly one day find themselves unwittingly, I do not know when to let her in
  Our hearts to do the pits. This really makes love for no reasons, love was wrong. Americans like the enemy's regular army, you know
  Alert, even if defeated, but also good show. Women usually like the Spanish Civil War in the Franz Brother's 'fifth column', do
  Spy work, you reversed, you still dream. Let's home as his wife, or we loved the other woman, a are
  Can not say the United States, but we had to pursue when they have to sleep, eat - although the old chai
  Light, want to come full experience? Ha ha! "Listen Yigu a talk in front of Xia Jun, could not help admire his observation and fair
  Reasonable, did not think he had side-tracked on his head, blushing, could not speak, Jun Xia Chen's resentment to life.
  Lee quickly said: "Xia Jun, You are so annoying - chai, ignore him."
  Yuanyou Chun said: "Xia Jun, your wife had just been speaking we are not the United States, this 'we' there is no Jianhou?" Caoshi Chang,
  Zhao Yushan all and him.
  Lee smiled and said: "This is without question, of course, him. I was 'not the first ugly old', is now old and more ugly."
  Xia Jun panic in the reduction of the head, hands clutching the back of the head, make a face. Lu Bolin could not help but laugh.
  Horse said: "You are not serious talk. I have two female staff member in the newspapers very carefully to work seriously. Yushan, you
  The women in the researcher seems to have? "
  Zhao Hill: "We have three, all good. Like our research, usually young women will feel boring boring
  Decision would not come. My experience is that the university specializing in science, Chinese literature, history and geography of the female students are relatively old
  Real serious. Only female students read Western literature the most objectionable, head full of romantic ideas, nothing will, nor a foreign culture
  Reading through, but at every turn to understand life, do women writers, to do his wife to entertain foreigners, diplomats, top restless. Before
  Fu Juqing introduced a baby to come we are in, with great difficulty I am rid of her, and together with Colin still blame me. "
  Fuju Qing said: "I do not blame you next, I blame you mind stubborn, narrow-minded, can not tolerate people."
  Cheng Xi Road, to be: "That good. Yushan down the left her, and perhaps you are in the air to bring her academic nurture
  Gradually with the environment is suitable for her, is likely to be a talent. "
  Lu Bolin says with a laugh: "I think one thing, a joke. Ten years ago, my family is still the south. There is a spring, I accompanied my wife to the Cape
  Tuo Shan to burn incense to live in the temple room. I do like the bed, do not feel comfortable, ask, and there are no bugs. Buddhist monk
  I do not have security, 'is to have one or two bugs by the Bodhisattva Buddhist sense, do not eat meat blood; if really bite people, Ami
  Tuo Buddha, Sir, do not kill it, kill the Buddha are quiet gym sins. 'Dude! That night I slept for a bite.
  And then I really was listening to the words of a monk. To burn incense in-law are both the same, and that her mother caught the bug, then resting on her daughter
  Bed, be released Jide and his wife cried out, pass as a joke. Environment could be the Probation River about personality, I think of the temple monks
  Vegetarian bugs come. "Everyone laughed.
  Xi Zheng to be finished laughing and said: "Bo old, you do not laugh the monk, his words are part of the truth. Bug with the degree of difference was the Buddhist
  Too much, Chen Xia Jun-called 'psychological distance' difference in incomes, it will not be subject to probation. Relatively high intelligence of animals can indeed
  Temper enough to infect the host, which is recognized biologists and animal psychologists. For example, the owner likes telling jokes to friends
  We always laughed, he kept the dog in this environment, there will be humor, laugh often introduced to make the move funny, and sometimes actually
  Scholars can laugh Open your mouth smile. Remember that Darwin observed in dogs can imitate the human sense of humor, I see more than a dozen years ago, German psychologist
  Pour la's book about child psychology, but also bring such things. I said that a woman can change the character of the academic air, not the big hat empty
  Words. "
  Lu Bolin: "The dog's smile not much seen a dog go back to trial test. But I listened to you based on scientific evidence
  Absolutely agree with you. I like books, so my family is also affected by the host mouse probation, the book has a special hobby, often to me
  Bad books bite. Perhaps the monks secretly eat meat, so the lice do not ring the temple fishy meat. Your words are absolutely right. "Finished speaking to the
  Lee wink, as if to her to watch her clever satire.
  Xi Zheng to be shaking his head and said: "You old man absolutely ridiculous." Yuanyou Chun said: "Why give the dog's example? Not now
  Into a naughty it? Look at it carefully when you move the waist, graceful energetic, and sometimes the truth Aimo, especially its stretch of the position
  State. It is your family grow too long Li, a model used to seeing the beautiful mistress, is also affected by the influence indirectly. "
  Lee said: "I do not know Gaima you, or the thank you."
  Xia Chen Jun said: "He made these remarks did not. Naughty for many years in Lee, yes, but it also has what man of the house! As
  What it does not imitate Jianhou? You Do not laugh, but also get me Jianhou dig him. Jianhou if born in the sixteenth century France,
  His curves of this figure, I do not know how many women in the dumping of the love, not salaried when his female secretary of it! Beautiful time
  Men and women, had the belly bulge - like France, then called Panserons - drum was as high as possible, with the tightening of the modern woman
  Rises in front of the abdomen and the back of the hip, it is the opposite. France and the United States considered ancient Jianhou youth, but also have to do with naughty example. The
  Lao Yuan back to me that cause and effect. Aimo's attitude is not naughty school is Aimo reference naughty attitude, God out of, since as
  One. Aimo heard these words will not be angry. Empress Dowager, bully the Egyptian foreign beauty queen Chloe Badra -
  - Egypt's antiquity is more like a cat woman considered more beautiful. Wife in their friends, of course, the best fit to push Aimo dress, for example,
  Ma winter as my wife pocket full of cornmeal, and to you that fit gentile, is not like clothes with the body to do, the truth
  The growth of the body to adapt to the clothes. This is not a naughty school coat it? Not a naughty will learn only hides your long hair? "
  Aimo laughed: "Be careful Jianhou beat you! You specifically talk nonsense." Jianhou to the front of an Eclair Xia Chen Jun said:
  "Please avoid open Zunkou, or eat it, save the mouth to chew Tsui idle again." Xia Jun bite really picked up, to the dim sum blocked
  Up and down the ancient and modern discussions.
  Fuju Qing said: "I think Xia Jun saying. Love where there is indeed a 'psychological distance', so the cold-shooting Western Cupid Profile
  Arrows. Archery course need the proper distance, approaching the red arrows so no, not too far away the shot; status of poor people
  While not easy to love, and blood is too close to people is not easy to love. However, this distance is not only the psychological aspects. You have this
  An experience? From a distance, sometimes a woman is beautiful, quite lovely, approached Xiqiao, before we know all is false, neither good looks
  See, and make-up of raw materials due to stress, did not make-up skills at home. Wives of what this idea of playing, I do not really want to
  Out. Spend so much thought and effort to dress up, only to stand ten yards away for people to overlook! Do you want a man all the way
  Has been deeply in love with them, to look closer to understand the truth, no regret, and that only the wrong, love them in the end? Listen Today
  Xia Jun, then they would understand that they, like with guns, radiation force a certain distance, this woman, I do not know want to meet more than a day
  Less, I hate them, I feel that they have to lie to my love, my insurance fooled. Glad I was born in modern Chinese culture opened,
  Have the opportunity to observe them carefully, correct the illusion of a glance. If in ancient times, close tight defense, only saw a woman With
  Tower railing, or caught her playing donkey cart curtains. Unattainable, but to see the students a love, chase down evil ingenuity
  Begged her, that Yuan Buyuan! I think all shaking. "Said Fu Juqing make a cold shiver all the time. Jianhou laughed interest, not only mouth smile, the entire
  Stocky body also participate in this laugh.
  Jun Xia Chen finished piece of cake back, sighed and said: "The accumulation of State, your eye is always too high Yeah! We passed on the Half a person
  If the heart die, not as demanding. Not only to lower the standards of appearance, and emotional requirements should not be blamed
  Whole. Ten years ago I most despise the old man eyes closed eyes open, knowing that they back his young concubine nonsense, play the fool
  No matter. Now I come to know them, sympathize with them. Tolerance of others unless you love them, do not dream that they will tolerate
  You love them. I have the time to study painting in Paris, and a girl is better than Corsica, and later found out that she is a devout
  Catholics, wanted me to teach before they agree to marry into, as if she is the church to attract patrons of the waitress, I had dumped her. I
  At that time I asked a woman fully the spirit of love, filled my whole heart, not allowed to leave a little to anyone, God is my
  Rival, she give him that for me, I love her beyond all religious scruples should be. But now? I am law-abiding, and
  No luxury, if there is a lovely women who would have mercy, and gave me some gentle left, I like beggars please the leftovers cold
  Sunburn and replied. She looked at me and smile for me, or blushed, I keep in mind, several days of storage consider sporting a long
  And unforgettable. War? We are too old! But old enough, I'm afraid our turn conscription. Love? We are too old! But
  Not enough old, I'm afraid we do Valentine's round of vain! "
  In the horse got up and said: "Xia Jun words and frustrated, and shameless. Late, I take one step ahead. Li, Jian
  Hou, thank you, bye, bye. Do not send! Qi, bye. "Said Xia Jun Cao Shichang also the discussions in" cold defeat
  Vulgar. "Xia Jun Jianhou hear speech on the mind as blankly until the horse in his name is called, was busy stand up, and the Aimo
  Said: "What more than to sit for a while? Do not, do not send." Yigu out his watch to see the hour is late, but also want to leave, just hope that the big
  Homes are gone, mixed in the heap, rushes in to say kind words will slip. However, the top to see them all sitting comfortably, not as to
  Walk; their fear of the mother looking really sit still, are contemplating how to bid farewell to have this heavy storm. Lee saw him
  Table, said: "It was early ah, but I can not stay on you, see you tomorrow." Yigu vaguely grateful to Lee a few.
  He first time, Jianhou take him to the door. When the reception room off the backhand Jianhou door, keep off the inside of Yigu heard that
  Laughter, they say with a smile arbitrary themselves, face more heat. Jumped into the train, he suddenly remembered Mrs. Lee said, "See you tomorrow." Aberdeen
  Fine think again, to Mrs. Lee when his temporary to speak words from the memory up to, pick the net clarify, clear the "morrow
  See "words. These three words not turn cold, Mrs. Lee has not dissipated the tone." That "the word made it very slippery, show off
  "See" the word voice cool and bright and focused, but the focus seems so easy just to say, when literally tap. That
  "Child" hide hidden characters "that" words and "see" the word voice cracks, the secretly with the past. Themselves did not remember correctly. Heart only
  Could not jump in joy, tomorrow is worth waiting for this day, it is worth looking forward to. Yigu smile on the face, happy to accommodate high, not hate
  Have and share with the other riders were happy. A middle-aged woman sitting across from Yigu to see his smile, misunderstood his intentions, ferocious
  Yigu a look, with a straight face, carried away to go. Yigu met with a rebuff, somehow, only quiet. To the home,
  His mother asked him, of course, Lee was beautiful. He said Lee a lot of money the U.S. side, the skin is not white matter, slightly higher cheekbones you, more
  What are the disadvantages of other friends. If Yigu not fascinated, perhaps he will commend Aimo pretty impressive; now he seems to have a new secret
  Secret, the secret is not used to the early, hiding in his heart, afraid of meeting strangers, so he also inadvertently talking together in the diplomatic and military Shangsheng
  Hit the cover of East West strategies. When his mother married a young Chinese people have not invented love. At that time was to be a matchmaker, the parent
  My mother asked the girls, the man she was Italian, then only bow blushing, silent, at best, just say "depends on father and mother
  Decisions ", and then ran back to the room to go fast, this girl has been considered the most tactful expression of the house. Shuiliao to three decades, the World
  Situation became pale, her son will be a big boy's mind then the twists and turns! Only son, so she jokes that he see a good closer,
  Did not talk about next. Later that evening I Yigu several reversed chaos dream accidentally spilled the tea dress in Lee
  , The embarrassed shame, had escaped from the dream. Wake up and dream of naughty scratch his nose, he is accused Chen Xia Jun
  A cat flea. Anger going back to cursing, dream and turn the corner, his hair in touch naughty, suddenly found that Lee was too touching
  Too much hair, woke up very ashamed, like tomorrow, see Lee couple of really discredited. But secretly like it, ignorant of the conscience, bovine anti-
  Chu Wen chasing a dream like this again.
  Lee does not take Yigu heart. Yigu Jianhou sent out, Chen Xia Jun said: "This kid looks'd Cong top
  Specified. Aimo, he should be your personal secretary, he must have done his utmost to listen to your beck and call, he was that age is for you hair's Folly
  Time. "Aimo said:" I'm afraid Jianhou not. "Caoshi Chang said:" Xia Jun, why are you the least desirable! You put the kids today
  Child bullying was enough. A naive young man, Pity. "Xia Jun said:" who bullied him? I see him stare
  It looks amazing, childish and pitiful, so, and he joked and told him not to be so uptight. "Lu Bolin said:" You think you
  Joke, all I do not know the severity. No wonder you Jianhou angry. "We all go along with him. Said, the Jianhou come. Guests to sit in a
  Will also gradually dispersed. Aimo sleep that night after midnight, the first half of sleep and sleep half of the joint to place undue Yigu thought of the day
  Their expressions and words of Chen Xia Jun, suddenly excited, do not feel middle-aged woman, turned sideways and fell asleep.
  Tomorrow, Yigu describe him is for the Jianhou large hotel tower in New York, looking down, power lines, pedestrians, vehicles do a dizzy eyes
  Flowers, insurance planted out the window, Aimo hit the door came. They looked at one, then turned like to go out, said: "You are busy, and I
  Not to disturb you, I did not do. "Jianhou said:" We do not have something, you do not see my travel in the preface? "Love
  Murdoch: "I remember you told me about the preface to the effect that the. Well, I'll give you the first chapter finalized, and to watch, see the preface is not professionals
  Meaning. Jianhou, I would like to find time to write Da Houtian Yigu we treat the post, you can not? "Lee not ready Yigu
  For his name to the housing, with no last name on the next without the "sir", the name of naked, as if first entered the massage bath
  People did not expect the maid to strip naked for him. He did not wait Jianhou answer, and quickly said: "Yes, Yes! Afraid I can not write the word -
  - "Qian Yigu said word phrase, said he counted calmly comfortable, not cramped into incoherent. Jianhou Needless to say yes. Yi
  Aimo, who took over the dinner Valley list of the blurred legs were resting on the New York Jianhou throw its thirty-second floor hotel window, one and all
  To post a love of dictation. He writes for the Jianhou travel, belly full of grievances, and to do such trivial copying work, down like a devout
  Buddhist monk to write the same Bloodletting. After returning home he also recalling the small things, it seems that this is Aimo has his eyes said. The next day he
  Aimo complex a few letters for the letter does not matter, the third day he read a book on behalf of Aimo presented new novel, the story of a summary report
  Sue her, because a day to see this on Aimo. Yigu does not matter how much effort as these things, but a sense of the afternoon to go home
  Unusually rich life that day, hope for tomorrow, hope there are not.
  Written invitation that day, Mr. Lee has been not very happy. Lee called on behalf Yigu to read the novel, Mr. Lee felt that not only
  Cut off travel writing, and like a hot knife sub sub lard, but also consumes a good time around noon that day, do not expect
  Yigu again for their work. He embarrassed the spot attack, only vaguely uneasy, afraid Aimo would take away the secretary.
  Aimo his presence, cold on the Yigu said: "You see your novel, the manuscript to me, I have to write." Aimo nearest approach
  Said: "hold it tight like that! You do not fight this day half a day writing a book, I'll offend a person how to do? Things you do not want my housekeeper
  If I had read this book. "Yigu Aimo this time to his serve only know, the whole can not find words Jianhou intention of seriously
  The manuscript submitted and Jianhou. Jianhou took it quietly, his face in the glow green to yellow. Aimo see Jianhou one to laugh Yigu
  And said: "trouble!" Went out of the study. Yigu sat down in that novel, really unlucky man of! Yigu make Aimo
  Know that they look fierce, high standards, the plot of that book and picked the wrong child until the text to appear as if the teaching had Fuju Qing
  The. Jianhou sat slumped on the manuscript before the stare, do not write. He usually always watch Yigu called home for dinner, and this
  Days until the old maidservant asked him to do dinner out, and he fishes Yigu strong laugh, allotments should he go see him brought back to the novel
  Home, more and more angry. Jianhou to the dining room, sit down and soup, without a word, Aimo is not speech. In the end is the creation by women
  Come to the oppressed animals, patience a good heart, Jianhou the first to speak: "Please do not order me after the secretary, I have a serious thing
  Him to do. You ask him to do those things trivial, it is best left to the afternoon, I get down to business and other He was done. "
  Aimo "Well," a cry in English, said: "You're angry with me, is not it? Maid, stood listening, kindness
  Think it? Quarrel have to look at what place! Just in front of your precious secretary of the face, call me Xiabu Qu, now eat well,
  Has come to trouble. Do not get angry when to eat, I advise you. Back to stomach but also made it! You always have that day I gas into the stomach
  Disease, you just be happy. Today, deep-fried lobster, the thing is not easy to digest. "That's maid does not speak English, color and tone is
  Long drawn, dark belly laughs: "Liang Kouer in pique it! You can be hiding from me gibberish."
  After dinner, the couple into the bedroom, the girl's bed to take a nap Jianhou laid out. Aimo Road Jianhou not help but ask:
  "I say, you hear?"
  Aimo sitting on the sofa, smoking a flue: "Hear! How can they not hear? Old maidservant, little girl all to hear. You speak
  Sound, Tiananmen Square, Haidian hear it, we all know you're in the lessons of his wife. "
  Jianhou do not want the war to expand, impair their sleep, concluded that: "heard enough."
  Aimo one does not see her husband, as if to himself: "But should I do so, it fails. I love when the beck and call him
  From the get me. Good a husband shelf! In the presence of secretaries and servants, shouted to me! "
  Jianhou argue that lying, the situation was unfavorable. Bed is a woman's site, only lazy women see off the bed talking, people in phase
  Appropriate. Man lying in bed, just as no risk and defend the military, the power reduced. He sat up and said: "This secretary is what I used
  , And the listen to my disposal. You tell him to do odd jobs is poor, first I have to say hello. "
  Aimo throw away cigarettes, make your mouth to criticize for the phase-specific, said: "As long as you use him for a day, something I have to find him. Honest
  That you give his work any more than I asked him to do more interesting. Do you have skills writing a book, his pen to paper, not to find
  People. Caoshi Chang, Lu Bolin, Fu Juqing have written many books, who do not hire a secretary! "
  Handle anger shot Jianhou bed and said: "Well, well! I'll call it names roll children together. Altogether we did not use the secretary."
  Aimo said: "You quit him, and I will use him. I have so many chores, does not take more than your travel -"
  Jianhou said: "You are busy, why not the other with a secretary, down upon my people?"
  Aimo said: "Sir, why do not you can Xingjian Xingjian? I'm not wasting a woman. And when I told
  You come home too? "
  Jianhou said: "I would hope that we can distinguish the boundaries with each other."
  Aimo stood up and said: "Jianhou, you say be careful, do not regret looking back. You have to sub-let to points."
  Jianhou know the words heavy, but also stubborn, said: "Do not intentionally misleading, fuss."
  Aimo sneered: "I am not misunderstood. You always think people think much of me than you, my heart, but gas. The day before yesterday after listening to Chen
  Xia Jun nonsense,? Find a good friend of the woman. Scared! Do not worry, I will not interfere with your happiness. "
  Jianhou momentum reduction, strong laughed: "Ha ha! This is not the ulterior motive for that? On live, I want to sleep." He lay
  Continue to be hooded silent. Aimo five minutes waiting for him to come out and said: "You ask the child to go back to the novel
  , I do not read him for me. "
  Jianhou said: "You do not hypocritical. I have something to go out the afternoon, less than the study to go. You have to handle homogeneous Yigu to as you
  Will stop. I will not write anything, and anyway, all this! Things under my birthright, the result is always to give you occupied
  Go. Friends and my friendship short, related to Hello; home employing the first to busy for you, I put in the back of the old things, and I
  Command not worth your convenience. Luckily we had no children, otherwise they must be like the beasts and barbarians, only know a mother,
  Eyes do not know my father. "Mrs. Lee on child-rearing attitudes, just as the Soviet government organ abortion slogan:" No.
  We welcome the time to patronize, but you do not come! "But seriously gynecologist warned her not production, so the children of a
  Did not have time to be born. Friends said she was really behind the "Beauty Queen." She now replied: "Well said poor! True
  Which the husband is the hardy! Employing listen to me, because I housekeeper Yeah. Who loves housekeeper! Bores me to head all the pain! From tomorrow, please
  You take care of, so that all employers to flatter you. Talked about friends, it is more a joke! Why did you marry after the age of my former classmates friends
  And from the Friends of a no. I care about you to your friend, I told anyone who my friends? Moreover, have not we friends
  The two of us there? What good points with me, with you not? This man is really little childish. As secretary of it, that the current situation today
  Days, not guaranteed tomorrow, who knows how much time can he? If we move back to the South, we can not take him walking up. But you now
  Him to quit, they have to send him one month's salary. I do not need him, but things are not worthwhile do not you call him to write immediately
  Go, when something bad call bad call. To the expiry of one month, see the situation say. This is my Nvren Jia considered small, I could not help
  Speak out of turn make you feel tired of living. Anyway, after all your concern, up to you. "Plausibly Jianhou listen to his wife, also speak their own
  "Little childish," bad argument to be, then waving: "The words do not mention, are you right. Let's make peace." Aimo said: "You
  Just say 'make peace' with great difficulty! I If you would prevail, as early as apart! "Then go out, know yourself out to be Jianhou
  Pull the hand to make peace. Jianhou a person lying down, to reason clearly their long, how noisy a few, but stumped Li Qu, lost to her
  No, but also by her cold. He Yuxiang Yu grievances.
  After this four or five days, not Jianhou into the study, to go out all day, I do not know what busy. There is a two evening entertainment,
  Aimo not accompany with him. Yigu's work is not reduced. Jianhou did not tell him to write travel has stopped, still would not let him empty
  Busy, allotments he Excerpt materials and speaking together in the future finishing. Aimo often to him write invitations, thank posts and the like, sometimes sitting
  Down and chat for a while. Yigu no sisters, relatives and few between, his widowed mother only a son, bundles a very strict, so
  He entered the university year, and never talked to female students. Just as the soda bottle closure suite, despite the thick, sun and swayed to see
  To see bubbles in the bottle floating on the surface Yigu stiff, stir the heart as early stupid love Lost without the Lord. An eighteen-year-old did not
  The boy has a girlfriend, a woman often hidden heart is worth the number of the emperor thirty sixth house, filthy heart sometimes too public
  Total toilet. He also have lofty ideas of love, and he hopes to find a woman fit to your heart that matter sorted out, there are intimate
  Pure relationship, the physical urge to push too far separated, and wrapped in heavy paper decorated, not allowed to reveal its true colors. Yigu and Aimo
  After exposure, the proliferation of no return his feelings gradually gather in one place, and no experience in love for a boy, middle-aged
  Mei Zi mature woman, just as the late spring as weather or duck down bed, soft mud was clear people do not come. The object of love is
  The use of chemicals of life, so in love with a young man infatuated first person older than himself, because young people themselves to be mature, no
  Italy pick experienced object, and old age is always love crazy younger than he, because older people to restore their youth,
  This dream in his last years also reflects the efforts. Yigu to the second week after Lee had been willing to admit their love Lee
  The. What are the results of this love, he was no more time to think about. He only hoped that many chances and so close to her. He heard her every
  Voice, his heart jumped, his face covered with red. This change can not escape his face Aimo eyes. Yigu not imagine Aimo will love
  Himself, he only believed Aimo also like their own. But sometimes even this belief he did not, feel that they blindly delusional, to love
  Mo knows, will be worthless themselves humbled by the scorn. He himself headlong search for Aimo and expression can not remember a little trick to prove
  Ming is not a delusion. However, this was not enough, Aimo mind how to think really you? Really no way to measure. If she does not like himself,
  Good! Themselves do not care, go! Go! To her! Out of her cold in the pit of the stomach. But things done, sleep wake up, hair
  She did not go out now, still offer far in the heart, first thought to involve her. One moment he pleased, such as impossible, while
  Frustration as the fall, the Dangzhao unrequited love swing.
  The third Monday of Yigu to Li, the old white and one opened the door yesterday to tell him that Jianhou went back to the south, Yigu Why Mangwen
  Why, Mrs. Lee to go with no. He knew what Jianhou for the cuisine of the house to go to Shanghai, Aimo for a moment, will not go, the heart was _set_
  Years, however, does not create a feeling of the end. Absence cast a shadow on his heart. He fidgeted for ages, Aimo only Daoshufangli, tell him
  Jianhou back Saturday night, said outside the news is not good, inevitable war, the move as early as possible, so yesterday rushed to Shanghai
  The. Yigu strong for calm and asked: "Lee, you will not strike left Peking?" Like patients waiting for emergency like waiting for her return
  A. Aimo was about to reply, the old white come in communications: "My wife, Mr. Chen came." Aimo said: "to invite him to Daoshufangli
  - I'm so Lee came back to receive a share also went here. Yigu, you are to go to the south into the schools, safety than here
  More. "Yigu had expected that such a thing, but hear despair despair, but also made the eyes do not cry. Cried all the way Chen Xia Jun
  Said: "Aimo, can not think you really listened to me, confidential secretary Jianhou actually willing to give you." Greeted him in Rhythm
  Valley, on the Aimo said: "The opening of Jianhou yesterday afternoon ride back to the south is it?"
  Aimo said: "You really quick message! Tell you the old white, right?"
  "I know very early, yesterday I sent him go."
  "This is something strange! You did not notice him?"
  "You know he saw me a headache, there will be Baba to tell me? My boring these days, a friend walked to the car
  Station to send, to look at a variety of colored people. Yesterday I sent a relative, who knows what hit you sir, he saw me like
  Very awkward, to hide, I called him, he said to me looking for an apartment to Shanghai. Yesterday you did not go to send him back? "
  "We're an old married couple, not a parting of the lovers. Big deal to go to Shanghai, to send what line? He was not man
  Sent, only brought a suitcase, no big baggage. "
  "He has a niece with him back to the table the South, is not it?" Xia Jun Aimo pegged to the meaning of infinity.
  Aimo jumped up and said: "Yeah? What?"
  "He sleeper compartment, only he and a seventh-year-old girl, looks very honest, looks are not ideal, I met
  Just want to hide, do not blame you blame? Jianhou niece said that his watch? It is also considered your niece the table. "
  Aimo pale said: "What is the table where his niece? It a bit strange?" "Yes! I had said, how
  What you heard from the start. Jianhou holding the hand of the girl, said to me: 'You ask Aimo, she would know. 'I heard him
  Serious tone, and my heart a little strange, at that time did not say anything more. Yo Jianhou air is not fit, I broke up with him. "
  Aimo eyes open to no longer big, said: "This first ghosts. That girl look like? Jianhou not tell you her last name
  There? "
  Chen Xia Jun suddenly patting thighs, convulsed with laughter. Emerson Air said: "What funny?" Hate Yigu Jun Xia Chen
  Break to interrupt a conversation to see Aimo angry to have a look of anger. Xia Jun smile is not convergence, said: "could not, I could not help
  Live to laugh. Jianhou that big a fool, saying that doing so would be to do it! I am all, and some of the girl is his new lover, stealing
  Stolen honeymoon to the south, I did not realize I would hate the guy that crashed through. He knew this could not hide the truth, simply told me to report to you
  Letter. Ha ha! I never dreamed there was Jianhou hand! This is the day tea party out of his shock. I just laughed at him as I
  Do it if the word did not change, pick the object is mediocre looks, attitude and cold embarrassed, did not see the world like appears to be a child in
  A meal or two can make the film, the Peking city are so high! In her eyes, Jianhou and generosity, but also great, nice
  American women who divorce than met the Crown Prince of Britain. Haha, how this end it! "
  Aimo tears of anger could not bundle: "The Jianhou hast so darn! Bully me -" this time, she's stylish, capable
  All at once faded, revealing a weak poor woman Benxiang. Yigu see Aimo cry, overwhelmed, suddenly found
  The Aimo cry, her age, she looks the defects are displayed on her face as the tears are pouring the water under the steel
  Pen words, fuzzy edema. Aimo tears at the same time to remind him who she was Jianhou, these tears in this particular sub has Jianhou
  The. Although the theory that Chen Xia Jun, a woman crying, anger will be reduced, like Tianyi rain, wind will stop blowing, but
  Really met with tears, but also Huangde he says: "how you cried? Is there any way, I must try!"
  Aimo bitterly said: "You're mess out of things, you will do what force. You go to strike, I will ask you to something. I next
  Nothing, for me dark Jianhou gas, I am also very confused! "
  Xia Jun Aimo temper know, pull a short walk. Aimo did not send him, sitting on the sofa, clenched teeth. Face tear stains
  Like the rain on the glass has dried marks. Yigu see her face in anger in the deformation of commutation became pitched hard, with some murderous. He realized
  This is a powerful woman, frightened, and want to go home today or stop, got up and said: "Lee -"
  Aimo dream Zhaxing said: "Yigu, I was going to ask you, you love me do not love?"
  Sentence, then abruptly slumped over the Yigu scared, not answer.
  Aimo mischievously: "You do not think I do not know! You love me." How not to offend the other party denies this statement,
  No one seems to know. Yigu do not understand the intention of Mrs. Lee asked, no longer willing to tell her inner feelings, only to find the situation serious
  Weight, want to leave the territory.
  Aimo did not see the second shot fired, impatient and said: "You said it!"
  Yigu frown, and stammered: "I - I do not -"
  Aimo imagine this is not the answer, while difficult to see him that way, really teach people to get angry, but think of the things Jianhou,
  Hearts firmly together, said: "That fall interesting. Why not? Afraid of Lee? You can see that Lee this nonsense. That fear
  Me, and I have nothing to fear? You sit down, let's talk about thin. "Aimo to lean toward one side, let out half of a sofa shoot
  The name Yigu sit. Aimo no intention of asking misunderstood, Yigu dream suddenly wake up, this dream vision of the past few days courting the soul scene
  Unexpectedly, was actually all about. Xia Chen Jun He had just remembered the laughter, the love that girl Jianhou and others see the original in
  Just a joke! All the flirting, affair, since all that lingering in my romantic, bold and romantic, but to an outsider, but his mouth
  Is an ambiguous and funny conversation drifted, as usual, only to win sex obscene smile. Yigu be stupid not worldly temper, think of this
  , The even more daunting.
  Aimo anger have been dynamic, see Yigu sparkling Duo Duo, the more unpleasant, said: "I invite you to sit, why not sit down
  Come! "
  Yigu heard the command, had to sit down. Just sit down, "Oh!" Sound, straight jump, spring shock to Aimo
  Also bumped. Aimo Youjingyounu said: "This man how about you?"
  Yigu said: "Naughty hiding under the sofa, put my heels and grabbed a handful."
  Aimo could not help but laugh, Yigu indole lips and said: "It is painful grasp, socks could have scratched."
  Aimo reached out to catch the naughty, according to their legs, on the Yigu said: "Now you can sit at ease."
  Yigu anxious can not think of what evasive excuse, long face nonsense: "This cat, though not, I'll always think it knows
  Things, as if a third party. Not much to say in front of it. "Having just find this funny.
  Aimo frowned: "You kids really do not, too! Well, you catch it to go outside." Handed the naughty Yigu. Naughty earned
  Bar, Yigu tight to mention its neck skin - this is not pleasant to see Mrs. Lee has been - the half-open study door, the naughty throw it out, catch
  Fast with the door, only to hear even a naughty then two screams, sharp thorns have to right to wear the auditory nerve, the original door is closed too fast, clip
  Living in the tip of its tail. Aimo no longer bear it, stand up easily to Yigu about the face, opened the door let go of naughty, a
  And say: "Damn you, you idiot!" Naughty vertical tail tucked inside pain channeling, with a pungent piece of Yigu
  Cheek breath rushed into the street, no other old white door to open. Tsuishine mind like the cries of Dayton as a: "big fool! Large
  Fool! "
  Lee saw Yigu run, regret his too brutal, to today's large degree of disorder, only to be angry to this place for the Jianhou
  Step. She suddenly felt old, as if the body is falling like aging, thunder, status and ostentation are like a vice burden, since the
  Can not afford to get tired and then have to pick. She was only willing to have a place to escape, where she can forget about pride, do not see these friends now
  Friends, do not dress up, not extravagant, not for anyone who looks beautiful, seen young.
  At this time yesterday, opening the transport vehicles from Beijing, has entered the Shandong territory. Li Hou looked out the window, like the backward state of mind feitui the
  Haggard as the dry loess. Yesterday's excitement seemed happy when drunk, the taste left after having a hard time. To Chenxiajunzhun
  Aimo will go to the report, this big trouble, his can not step down. This is normal for the naive girls around breaking up families, really worth
  Too! Zihui moment of weakness, could not help gas, dug out the trap. So many thoughts, mixed with his hand out the window with the view to see the female
  All children do not know. She felt the future of life just as the train could not finish the road, the infinite expansion to their own.
