-----------------------. More than ten years ago, the Wuling, who supported her in the Bailemen Ballroom in Shanghai, was young, some of them had a top on their heads and some had frost on their temples. Some of them came to Taiwan Province to become idle consultants in iron works, cement plants and man-made fiber factories, but a few of them became the chairman of the bank and the head of the office. No matter how the personnel changes, Yin Xueyan will always be Yin Xueyan. In Taipei, she still wears her plain white cheongsam with cicada gauze, smiling all the way so shallowly that she won't even wrinkle her eyes.
Yin Xueyan is really charming. But no one can tell her true charm. Yin Xueyan never likes to wear rouge and powder, and sometimes she lights some honey Buddha on her lips at most. Yin Xueyan doesn't like to wear red and green either. It's hot in the weather. One summer, she was all silvery white and dressed up beautifully. Yes, Yin Xueyan has a snow-white skin, a delicate figure, a long face and a pair of pretty and quiet eyebrows, but these are not surprising places for Yin Xueyan. People who have seen Yin Xueyan say this, and I don't know why. No matter how much Yin Xueyan raises her hand and throws her foot, there is always a style that the world can't match. Others stretch their waist and frown, which is ugly, but Yin Xueyan is charming when she does it. Yin Xueyan doesn't say much, and she doesn't say much. On urgent occasions, she inserts a few words of Shanghai dialect with Suzhou accent, which is both pleasant to hear and flattering. Some dancers who are short of money can't climb the stage called Yin Xueyan, but they go to Paramount to watch Yin Xueyan's elegant demeanor and listen to her soft words of Wu Yi, and they are also comfortable. Yin Xueyan is on the dance floor, leaning her head slightly, swinging her waist lightly, and dancing all the way in such a leisurely way; Even though she was dancing fast foxtrot, Yin Xueyan never lost her sense of proportion. She still looked so calm and light, like a ball of catkins floating in the wind, without roots at her feet. Yin Xueyan has her own melody. Yin Xueyan has her own beat. Never because of the external migration, affect her balance.
Yin Xueyan's charming places are really unclear and countless. But one thing has greatly increased her mystery. When Yin Xueyan became famous, it was inevitable that she would be jealous. Her sister, who was jealous, started to say everywhere: Yin Xueyan's eight-character belt emphasized evil, making a white tiger, and the people who were stained with it, the light ones were defeated, and the heavy ones were killed. Who knows that it is for Yin Xueyan that she enjoys the reputation of being a heavy evil spirit, and all the men in Shanghai Yangchang have added great interest to her. When life is leisurely and wealth is abundant, you can't help but want to take risks and break into this evil star that is popular all over Huangpu Beach. Wang Guisheng, the boss of the Wangs, a Shanghai cotton yarn chaebol, is one of the explorers. Driving a brand-new Cadillac every day, waiting for Yin Xueyan to finish the table at the entrance of Paramount Gate, they went to the roof garden on the 24th floor of the International Hotel together to have a colorful supper. Looking at the moon and the bright stars in the sky, Wang Guisheng said that if a ladder could be built with his gold bars, he would climb up to the sky to pinch the crescent moon and put it on Yin Xueyan's temples. Yin Xueyan smiled and never made any noise. She held out her delicate hand like an orchid, and slowly put gold pieces of small crescent cakes coated with Russian mullet roe into her mouth.
Wang Guisheng desperately invested and made money by hook or by crook, trying to pile up the original wealth into three times of borrowing and four times of borrowing, knocking down the rich competitors around Yin Xueyan one by one, and then stringing a chain of diamonds and agates around Yin Xueyan's neck to take her home. When Wang Guisheng committed a felony of collusion between officials and businessmen and was shot in prison, Yin Xueyan stopped at Paramount for a night, which was a mourning for Wang Guisheng.
In the end, Yin Xueyan was won by a hot-selling director Hong in Shanghai financial circles. Director Hong divorced his ex-wife, abandoned three children and agreed to Yin Xueyan's ten conditions. So Yin Xueyan became Mrs. Hong and lived in a luxurious garden house in the French Concession in Shanghai, which was received from the Japanese. In two or three months' time, Yin Xueyan, like a late-blooming pear flower, bloomed in an overwhelming manner in Shanghai's upper-class society.
Yin Xueyan really has the ability to press the field. Whenever there is a feast in China, no matter the nobles and celebrities present, dressed in sable and surrounded by beavers, when Yin Xueyan wears her silver fox coat with lapels and waist, like a breeze in March, the whole audience seems to be smoked by this gust of wind, and always can't help but meet her. Yin Xueyan in the crowd, like an elf turned into ice and snow, Leng Yan aggressive, stepping the steps of the wind, see the eyes of those gentlemen and ladies all burst into fire together. This is Yin Xueyan: in the ballroom of Zhaofeng Nightclub, in the aisle of Lanxin Theatre, and in the guest rooms of Houmen government in avenue joffre, all dressed in silver, leaning back on the sofa, smiling all the way, arresting managers, associate managers, yarn factory owners and small businesses, as well as some upstarts and their wives.
However, Director Hong's eight characters are a little soft after all, which can't resist Yin Xueyan's heavy evil spirit. One year lost his official position, two years went bankrupt, and he didn't even get a job when he came to Taipei. Yin Xueyan had a conscience when she left Director Hong. Apart from her belongings, she only took away a famous chef from Shanghai and two aunts from Suzhou.

Yin Xueyan's new residence is located in the senior residential area of the fourth section of Ren 'ai Road. It is a brand-new western-style house with a very spacious living room, which can accommodate two or three tables of banquets. Yin Xueyan has deliberately managed her new mansion. The furniture in the living room is mahogany tables and chairs. A few old-fashioned sofas with big backs and Xiang embroidery pillows stuffed with black silk face and mandarin ducks playing in the water, people sank into half as soon as they sat down and leaned on the soft silk pillows, which was very comfortable. People who have been to Yin Mansion all praise Yin Xueyan's living room for its proper layout, which makes people sit and refuse to leave. The mahjong room with special equipment for playing mahjong, mahjong tables and mahjong lights are all designed very exquisitely. Some guests like to dig flowers, and Yin Xueyan has specially set aside a room with sound insulation, where the guests who dig flowers can sing freely. There is a heater in winter and air conditioning in summer. Sitting in Yin Mansion, it is easy to forget the cold and summer heat in Taipei outside. The antique vase on the living room desk is supplied with flowers at four o'clock. Yin Xueyan is very particular about flower patterns, and the rose shop on Zhongshan North Road sends the fresh goods selected all the year round. Throughout the summer, Yin Xueyan's living room has a sweet and greasy tuberose.
Yin Xueyan's new mansion soon became a gathering place for her old rain and new knowledge. When old friends came, they talked about the old saying that everyone had a nostalgic affair. After a while, they complained in front of Yin Xueyan, as if Yin Xueyan was the eternal symbol of the Bailemen era in Shanghai and the evidence of the prosperity of Beijing and Shanghai.
"Yuan, look at michel platini's hair! I am still like a evergreen, getting younger and younger! "
Wu Jingli worked as the general manager of a bank in Shanghai, and was a frequent visitor to Paramount. He came to Taibei for leisure and worked as a consultant in an iron factory. Seeing Yin Xueyan, he always likes to pull her half-jokingly and can't help but say this in a tone of self-pity. Wu Jingli's hair is really all white, and he is suffering from severe rheumatism. He walks very shambling, his eyes are trachoma, his eyes are hairy backwards, and he is crying all the year round. His eyes have begun to fester, revealing pink flesh. In winter, Yin Xueyan always moves the electric heater in the living room to Wu Jingli's heel, and personally presents a cup of Tieguanyin, and says cheerfully:
"No, michel platini is old and strong!"
Wu Jingli felt intimate in his heart and recovered a lot of self-confidence. Blinking his presbyopia with rotten eyelashes, he voted for a "sitting in the palace" in public in Yin Mansion and sang in a desolate hoarse voice:
I am like a shallow water dragon,
I am trapped on the beach.
Yin Xueyan has both skills of attracting men and women. The ladies who made friends with Yin Xueyan have been criticizing her behind her back since Shanghai. When Yin Xueyan rose to the top of the world, this time the ladies were angry and said, Zuo is just a woman with a waist, depending on how you climb. When Yin Xueyan's backer was unlucky, they sighed: Life can't escape, and women with heavy anger can't be provoked. However, for more than ten years, none of the ladies could bear to leave Yin Xueyan. When they arrived in Taipei, they all flocked to Yin Xueyan's mansion. They had to admit that Yin Xueyan really had something alarming about her. Yin Xueyan got a 25% discount in Hongxiang Silk and Satin Village in Taipei, and picked out the most beautiful embroidered shoes in the small garden. The Shaoxing drama in the Red Chamber was Yin Xueyan's best. When Wu Yanli sang "Meng Lijun", Yin Xueyan could get a free front seat ticket, and when it came to Ximen Ding's Beijing-Shanghai snacks, Yin Xueyan was full of tricks. So this time, the ladies, led by Yin Xueyan, visited Ximending, watched Shaoxing Opera, and ate sweet-scented osmanthus dumplings in Sanliuli. They often threw away the unpleasant things in the past ten years, as if Yin Xueyan was full of musk of Shanghai's world glory, and the middle-aged women who smoked this vicissitudes of the past all entered a state of semi-drunkenness, and they could not help but relish the crab-yellow noodles in Shanghai Wuxiangzhai. These wives are often easily emotional. Yin Xueyan showed extensive sympathy for them all. She always listened patiently to their grievances and grievances, and said a few words of comfort when necessary to smooth out their anxious temper.
"if you lose, it would be nice to lose everything! Anyway, there are old cows and horses at home, and I don't lose, and others lose for me! "
whenever Mrs. Song loses money playing mahjong, she complains bitterly to Yin Xueyan. In Taiwan Province, Mrs. Song suffered from obesity in women's menopause. Her weight soared to more than 18 pounds, and her shape was very bloated. If she walked too much, she would suffer from asthma. Mrs. Song has a lot of sad words, because her husband, Assistant Song, had an affair and gave her a cold shoulder, and the other party was a slim little wine girl. More than ten years ago, Mrs. Song made a splash in social occasions in Shanghai, so she was particularly longing for the past days. Yin Xueyan is naturally the right person for Mrs. Song to pour out her heart, because only she can understand Mrs. Song's sense of the past and the present. Sometimes when it comes to sadness, Mrs. Song can't help hiding her face and crying.
"sister, a Song family, said,' No one is as good as a thousand days, and no flowers are as red as a hundred days'. Who can guarantee to enjoy splendor and be rich all his life?"
So Yin Xueyan handed the overheated towel to Mrs. Song to wipe her face, and pleaded with pity. Mrs. Song refused to accept her fate, and she always sobbed out her resentment:
"I don't believe my life is worse than others! Like Yiba, Yin Jiamei, you don't have to worry about it all your life. Naturally, someone will come to help Nong. "
Third
Yin Xueyan really doesn't have to worry. The horses and chariots in front of Yin Mansion have never been broken. Although old friends regard Yin Mansion as a paradise, general new knowledge also finds rare attraction elsewhere in Yin Mansion. Yin Xueyan Mansion has always maintained its style. Yin Xueyan never lowered it to the ostentation and extravagance of avenue joffre. People who come in and out, even though some of them are out of date, have their identity and style, so when they enter Yin Mansion, everyone feels important. Even the titles that were abolished more than ten years ago, after being called by Yin Xueyan with a charming voice, have recovered a lot of sense of superiority psychologically as if they had been sealed by letters patent. As for the general new knowledge, Yin Mansion is a good place to establish social relations.
Of course, the most attractive thing is Yin Xueyan herself. Yin Xueyan is a most competent master. Every guest, regardless of seniority, old and young, was properly greeted by her. As soon as I entered Yin Mansion, sitting on the sofa covered with black silk cushions in the living room, everyone felt a sense of being at home and not thinking about home. Therefore, the bid opening and birthday party were always held in Yin Mansion, and even if there were no tricks, everyone made a name to gather together in Yin Mansion to form a card game. In most days of the year, weddings is always in Yin Mansion.
Yin Xueyan rarely ends up. On these dates, she always arranges the cards for the guests in advance. Sometimes two tables, sometimes three tables. She has a clear understanding of each guest's brand and idiosyncrasies, so the brand partners are always perfectly matched and have never hurt her feelings. Yin Xueyan himself supervised two dry-faced Suzhou aunts and greeted them. At noon, it is Ningbo rice cake or Huzhou zongzi. Dinner is the Beijing-Shanghai side dishes of Yin Mansion's famous Shanghai chef: gold and silver legs, princess chicken and baked shrimp. Drunken crab-Yin Xueyan personally designed a rotating menu, and every day she turned out a table of exquisite banquets. In the wee hours, the two aunts held snow-white ice sprayed with star toilet water to refresh the guests, and then a bowl of chicken soup and silver noodles was taken for supper. The tables thrown by the guests are very generous, always two or three thousand at a time. Guests who win money are certainly worthy of excitement, even those who lose money are willing. After eating and playing in Yin Mansion, Yin Xueyan sent for a taxi and sent them home one by one.
When the game was in full swing, Yin Xueyan put on her light clothes and walked around several tables, walking around with her wind-like steps, like a silvery priestess, praying and offering sacrifices for those who fought.
"Yuan, michel platini is about to lose again!"
Every time he was defeated, Wu Jingli blinked his eyes with rotten eyelashes and sent a cry for help to Yin Xueyan.
"It's still early, michel platini. It's your turn to touch all the clothes in the next four laps."
Yin Xueyan put a black silk chair cushion on Wu Jingli's back suffering from rheumatism, and piteously comforted the old man with a perverse fate.
"Miss Yin, you saw it. I didn't play a wrong card tonight, so my luck is so bad! "
Female guests often appeal to Yin Xueyan for mercy. Sometimes, when Mrs. Song is in a hurry, she grabs two dice and spat:
"Bah! Bah! Bah! Don't want a face, see what a Guang Chen you are! "
Yin Xueyan also went over as usual, comforting them with a sympathetic tone. At this time, Yin Xueyan's words are as awesome as the Oracle. At the mahjong table, a person's fate is often out of control, and the guests all beg Yin Xueyan's words to restore confidence and strengthen their fighting spirit. Yin Xueyan stood by, three nines with golden mouths in her mouth, slowly spouting smoke turns, and looked at her with compassion as a group of proud, frustrated, old, mature, once all-powerful and once absolute beauty guests, killing each other and killing each other enthusiastically.

Among the new guests, there is a middle-aged man named Xu Zhuangtu, who is a graduate of Shanghai Jiaotong University. He is handsome, tall, strong and dressed in a well-tailored suit, which makes him look particularly handsome. Xu Zhuangtu is a new industrial giant in Taipei. With the industrialization of Taipei, many large enterprises came into being. Xu Zhuangtu was flexible in mind and rich in modern business management knowledge. Only in his early forties, he became the manager of a large cement company. Xu Zhuangtu has a virtuous wife and two lovely children. With a happy family and a promising career, Xu Zhuang plans to become an ambitious entrepreneur.
Xu Zhuangtu first entered Yin Mansion at a birthday party. ancient official title
