Old Mrs. Duan, Mrs. Lu, is over forty years old. Because of her excellent maintenance, she can't tell that she is a middle-aged woman of forty years old. On the contrary, her skin is fair and beautiful, mature and plump, her temperament is dignified and elegant, and her charm is amazing. It can be seen that she was young How magnificent.
Duan Shaofeng has a cold temperament, but he is filial to his mother. He traveled to the south and brought back a lot of good things for Mrs. Lu.
The Lu family was born in a big family in the south, and its family history is several times longer than that of the southern imperial court. It can be traced back hundreds of years ago when various countries were fighting for hegemony.
Even if the southern royal family claims to be orthodox, in the eyes of a noble woman from a family like the Lu family, they are just the queen of the horse thief.
"Why is this cat so listless? Ah Feng, did you hit it?" Lu Shi had no resistance to this kind of fluffy animal at all, and when he saw the little blue cat, he hugged it for a while.
Duan Shaofeng took off his military cap and put it on the edge of the table, took a sip of tea, and said: "I don't know, it should be because of acclimatization."
"If mother likes it, let's keep it." He also saw that the little blue cat was interesting with its pure fur and quick eyes. Thinking that his mother liked this kind of small animals the most, he brought it all the way from the south to the north shore.
Mrs. Lu glanced at her son: "That's what you said, this little guy will belong to me in the future, don't try to coax him away from me again."
Duan Shaofeng glanced at the blue cat, smiled lightly and said, "Why, mother is worrying too much."
Mrs. Lu knew his son's temperament well, so he didn't argue with him, and asked his servants to take the little blue cat down to take care of him.
The little guy is still too young, and his energy is listless, looking at him listlessly, he doesn't know whether it's ordinary acclimatization or illness,
"Get a good veterinarian as soon as possible." Lu ordered to the servants.
"It seems that my mother likes it very much. In fact, I found someone to show it on the road. I found more than one veterinarian, and they all said that there is nothing wrong with it. Maybe it's just homesick."
This cat is a rare breed brought over by foreigners traveling across the ocean. It is not an ordinary wild cat, and it is normal for it to be delicate.
Lu said with a smile: "Why don't you like it. Although that little guy is listless, he is very kind. He rubbed my hand just now, as if telling me not to worry. He is very sensible."
Duan Shaofeng was surprised, thinking of the scene when he first saw this cat...he didn't feel that this little guy was "very dear" at all.
Otherwise, who was the one who played around with Princess Xiangyi and lost all manners
Duan Shaofeng frowned, and briefly told his mother about the origin of the blue cat and the situation when he met it in the Royal Garden. Lu Shi was a little surprised.
"It is said that cats and dogs have spirituality and can feel the malice or friendliness of people towards them. I didn't expect this cat to understand human nature to such an extent."
"In this way, I feel relieved. The little guy looks so cute. I'm afraid that he will be coaxed away after he becomes unsuspecting."
Duan Shaofeng was helpless, his original intention was to remind his mother that this seemingly harmless kitten was not so docile. I don't want to make my mother like it more.
Duan Shaofeng was not at home for a long time, Lu had a lot to say to him, the mother and son chatted for a while, and Duan Shaofeng left when it was Lu's usual nap time.
Back in his yard, seeing that the person guarding the door of the study was an unfamiliar face, Duan Shaofeng gave him a few words.
"Back to the warlord, I'm the new gate guard. Chen Sheng, a former veteran, went back to his hometown to visit relatives. It was approved by Adjutant Li. Adjutant Li asked me to take Chen Sheng's place for half a month."
Duan Shaofeng nodded, and asked again: "Where is Li Jiuheng?"
If it was normal, when he returned to the mansion, Lieutenant Li would definitely bring someone to the gate to greet him.
But this time he didn't notify him to return home in advance, and Li Jiuheng probably went out on business.
He was not on the North Shore, and the several confidants and adjutants under him were all too busy to touch the ground.
The gatekeeper looked slightly hesitant. Seeing Duan Shaofeng taking off his military uniform and cloak and looking at him, he didn't dare to hesitate any longer, and replied directly: "Adjutant Li was called to Xingzi Alley by the old warlord."
Xingzi Hutong is a famous place on the North Shore, where there are only things that people can't think of, and there is nothing that can't be bought.
In addition to various shops and merchants, Xingzi Hutong also has the most famous casino on the North Shore.
There is a rumor in the market: If you are poor and have only a lot of money left, then go to Xingzi Casino, where you may have a chance to come back.
Regardless of what happened, the old warlord became a frequent visitor to Xingzi Casino. In a month, at least half a month is spent in the casino.
The finances of the Duan family are all taken care of by the Lu family. The old warlord only has pocket money from the Lu family, but he can't stand him looking for someone to borrow money from time to time. Every month, the bills sent by Xingzi casino to the warlord's mansion are several thousand silver dollars .
Now the purchasing power of silver dollars is very strong, a few thousand silver dollars is enough for a wealthy family to spend half a year. This is still a luxury.
Ordinary people don't use silver dollars, and some poor people in the countryside have never used silver dollars in their entire lives. You can live on copper coins.
The Lu family is in charge of the old warlord's finances, but she doesn't care much about where her husband goes.
Duan Shaofeng would occasionally go to Xingzi Casino to catch his father back. Caught once, probably can make the old warlord be honest for a month.
"The old man only called Li Jiuheng alone?" Duan Shaofeng sat in front of the desk, clasped his hands and looked at the bowed guard.
"Yes, I only called Lieutenant Li, and ordered the people below not to speak out."
The guards were also distressed. The warlord father and son fought guerrilla warfare, and they were in a dilemma.
Duan Shaofeng responded to express his understanding, and then waved his hand to signal him to back down.
He picked up the phone next to him, shook a string of numbers, and after a while, a light but still soft female voice came out of the receiver.
"Inspector Duan?"
"it's me."
There was a little smile in the woman's voice, "I didn't expect you to come back from the North Shore so soon. I haven't seen you for such a long time. I miss the Overseer very much."
Duan Shaofeng didn't like unnecessary small talk, and he didn't have the habit of flirting with women, so he misprinted that he didn't talk nonsense with women, and said straightforwardly: "Is the old man at your place?"
"Old rules, you can't owe him a piece of ocean on credit. I'll take someone there to pick him up in half an hour."
The woman seemed a little disappointed by Duan Shaofeng's indifference, and her voice was filled with disappointment: "I understand, I will let someone take care of the old warlord, waiting for you..."
The woman wanted to say something, but Duan Shaofeng had already hung up the phone.
"What an incomprehensible stone." The woman cursed in a low voice, and then lazily leaned back on the recliner.
A slender and powerful hand reached out and fed her a grape.
After the woman finished eating the grapes, that hand reached out in time to take the grape skins in her mouth, but she didn't want the woman to open her red lips and spit the grape skins on his face.
The man didn't care about the dirt on his face, he quickly knelt down in shock, and said repeatedly: "Boss, forgive me, boss, forgive me."
Boss Ji smiled and raised a thin white leg, and the graceful toes lifted the man's chin, forcing him to raise his head, revealing a handsome face full of "fear and anxiety".
Boss Ji seemed to sigh and said: "Yingnu, it's better you, he is too frustrating."
She didn't specify who the "he" was, but Ying Nu, who was kneeling below, understood it and buried her head lower.
Whether it's the boss or that person, it's not something that a little servant like him can ask.
"Master Duan, are you playing big or small in this round?"
A half-bald man in a mandarin jacket with a flattering smile stood beside the old warlord and asked cautiously.
The old warlord didn't speak, but glanced at Li Jiuheng behind him.
Li Jiuheng stood on his left side with his arms folded, and his right little finger moved three times in succession.
The old warlord's eyes lit up: Three o'clock, keep it small!
He was about to push out all the chips on the table, but suddenly his arm was held down.
"Damn, who is so short-eyed and dares to..."
The old warlord turned his head while cursing, and when he saw who was coming, he became as quiet as a chicken.
Duan Shaofeng took out his gun and loaded it unhurriedly: "The car is waiting outside, I'll give you three minutes to get in."
The old warlord watched his son's movements, his eyelids twitched, and the veins on his forehead came out: "You bastard, I'm your father! What's the matter, if I don't leave, are you going to shoot me!"
Duan Shaofeng raised his head and looked at him indifferently, and shot quickly, the bullet grazed the old warlord's arm and hit the gaming table with a bang.
"Ah—" the casino exclaimed for a while.
The old warlord gritted his back molars and stared at him fiercely. If he hadn't seen his wife's child with his own eyes, he would have doubted whether the evil god in front of him, whom the six relatives didn't recognize, was his own son.
Is there anyone who treats him like a son? Say you shoot me and shoot me
"You still have a minute and a half." Duan Shaofeng stated lightly.
The old warlord clutched his broken and bleeding arm, and took a step forward to confront Duan Shaofeng. Li Jiuheng, who was next to him, saw that the situation was not going well and quickly stopped the old man.
"Old man, the warlord is in a fit of anger. We can't afford to confront each other right now, otherwise we will make a fuss, and we won't be able to explain to the old lady when we return home."
Hearing Lieutenant Li mention the Lu family, the old warlord's anger was half extinguished.
The father and son confronted each other for a long while, but the old warlord was defeated, and went out with Lieutenant Li to get into the car with a stinking face.
Before leaving, he did not forget to ask the soldiers brought by Duan Shaofeng to exchange his unused chips for silver dollars.
The old warlord left, but Duan Shaofeng didn't leave in a hurry, instead he pulled a chair casually and sat down in front of the gaming table.
"Don't you want to make a bet, buy it and leave it, let's make a bet."
As he finished speaking, a soldier behind him exchanged a whole plate of chips at the counter.
Duan Shaofeng didn't even look at it, he suppressed all his chips.
"open."
The croupier looked at the pile of chips on the table, his eyelids twitched. With such a big bet, he was sure to win, and he couldn't make the decision at all.
But he didn't dare to disobey the overseer, and he was in a dilemma, so he heard a pleasant female voice say: "Since the overseer has said it, this round must be opened."
"Xiao Wu, go down, I will open this one for the governor." Boss Ji went to open the dice dish after speaking.
It's just that her hand didn't touch the dice dish, and was pressed heavily on the table by a black cane, unable to move at all!
Boss Ji showed pain on her face. She was already beautiful, and this posture made her even more charming.
Duan Shaofeng didn't feel any pity for the fragrance and the jade, and the cane didn't move at all, so he said to Xiaowu lightly: "Open."
