Chapter 14 Is My Daughter Beautiful?
At this time, Miss Li and Mr. Hu were dancing .
By the end of 1994, most of the upscale dance halls had their own band accompaniment, and the performers danced ballroom dances and sang various popular Hong Kong and Taiwan songs. Occasionally, amateur singers would come on stage and sing a few popular songs or some bel canto or folk songs.
Both of them had learned ballroom dancing in college. Their movements were standard and they worked in perfect harmony. Together with the handsome man and beautiful woman, their dancing was extraordinary, lively and intoxicating on the dance floor.
"Mandarin ducks live together and butterflies fly together. The spring scenery in the garden is intoxicating. I quietly ask the holy monk, "Is my daughter beautiful?" "Is my daughter beautiful?" "What's the use of royal power and wealth? What's the use of precepts and rules? I just want to be with my beloved forever. I love her, love her, and wish to always be with her in this life... always be with her..."
Slow three steps, the woman on the stage is middle-aged and has good singing skills.
The two pairs of eyes stared at each other, intoxicated by each other. As the song sounded for the second time, Li Juan asked softly, "Am I beautiful?"
In the song, "I quietly asked the holy monk..."
Hu Jiao had already been heated up by the curves of the beautiful body in his arms. Seeing the seductive look, he couldn't help but stick out his butt, leaned close to Li Juan's ear, and said with hot breath, "The little monk's performance is the best answer."
The hand on Hu Jiao's shoulder couldn't help but pinch him a few times, but there was no anger in his heart. If it was in the past...what if Hu Jiao acted like a hooligan like this?
The lights in the dance hall were changing unpredictably, sometimes bright and sometimes dim, and people's faces, their eyes, and the tenderness in their eyes also emitted colorful light.
I could clearly feel Hu Jiao's hand around my waist moving down.
Her heartbeat was faster than a drum set, her blood kept heating up, and her skin was trembling layer by layer. Li Juan was eager, but also afraid. Her lower abdomen was pressed against her, and as she danced, the strength in her body gradually disappeared.
A girl's love finally came to an end.
There are booths surrounding the dance hall. Today is the weekend, so many people came. Hu Jiao and Li Juan did not reserve seats before, so they came in and started dancing the quick three, cha-cha, rumba, and then the slow three.
It is now impossible to find a seat.
"Juanjuan, go home." The entire dance hall was filled with people moving around. Not to mention the seats, there were even piles of people standing.
Li Juan had no choice but to nod and agree.
As the two of them went out, a short-haired man rushed over and slapped Li Juan on the shoulder, shouting.
Li Juan was so scared that she closed her eyes and wanted to scream, but Hu Jiao quickly pulled her back and said, "It's your cousin."
Li Juan's mother has five brothers and sisters and four uncles. Li Juan's mother is the youngest and the most beloved sister in the family.
The man in front of her with a short flat head, small eyes, small nose, small ears, small mouth and delicate facial features is He Miao, the only son of Li Juan's fourth uncle. He is also the only male of the third generation of the He family and the only one in the family.
It’s strange to say, Li Juan’s mother and her family have five siblings, four boys and one girl, but by the third generation, except for He Miao, all the children were girls.
And they were born in order. The eldest uncle had three daughters, the second uncle had two daughters, the third uncle had one daughter, and only the fourth uncle had an only son.
But He Miao completely inherited the appearance and physical characteristics of her mother's family, with a typical southerner body shape. He Miao's mother was a beautiful girl from a small family. After He Miao was born, Grandpa He was very happy, as the He family finally had a successor.
Unexpectedly, the Miao people are just like their name, they will always be a small seedling, never growing up. They are 165cm tall, weigh less than 100kg, and have small and delicate facial features.
However, one must not be fooled by his appearance, as his temperament is that of a typical rich young master, uneducated and unskilled, the number one dandy in the provincial capital.
The entire He family has a headache when talking about him and Miao.
But what can we do? There is only this one and no second one.
Li Juan said that He Miao was a very well-behaved child, even a little shy and introverted. He always spoke in a soft voice, especially when interacting with girls. He would blush as soon as he spoke, even to his own sisters.
But since entering high school, the whole person has suddenly changed.
This transformation was very abrupt. The originally well-behaved child seemed to have become a different person overnight. He had long hair, smoked, wore ragged bell-bottom jeans, a belt with a big copper tiger head on it, a floral shirt with a bow on the corner of his shirt, and wore sunglasses.
He would hang out with friends all day, in groups of three or five, and would either get drunk or fight. At first, he could still hold back the old man, but in the third year of high school , he and Miao started to get worse.
He changes his girlfriend every three to five days, saying that a wife is like clothes and needs to be changed frequently, which is beneficial to the healthy development of the body and mind.
Because of this, he got into a lot of trouble and harmed a lot of girls. The master of the family and four uncles kept coming forward to clean up his mess.
He Lao Si was so angry about this that he had a heart attack. He was the only one in the He family who inherited the old man's favorite career, a soldier.
He joined the army at the age of 18 and is now the political commissar of the provincial military region, at the army level, and a major general.
Seeing that He Miao was becoming more and more daring and his behavior was becoming more and more outrageous, He Laosi had no choice but to force his son to join the army.
But within two days, this guy actually went to steal from the armory, but fortunately he was caught.
He and the fourth child had no choice but to beg his son with tears in his eyes, "Miao Miao, tell Dad what legitimate thing you want to do?"
He Miao was probably stunned and frightened by the scene of live ammunition, or perhaps moved by his father's pain, and finally lowered his rebellious head and said, "Send me to a technical secondary school. I want to study accounting."
So, He Miao studied accounting at the Provincial Finance College for three years and was assigned to work at the Provincial Finance Department.
The whole family was happy that Miao Langzi had returned, except for the old man who was worried and said it was the calm before the storm.
As expected, the old man becomes more shrewd and clever, and what he said is right.
Not long after He Miao started working, his old habits reappeared. Fortunately, this time his buddies were of a much higher level, all of them were children of provincial and department-level cadres or above.
He Miao led this group of people to form the largest force in the entire Nanzhao. They were called He Yanei, and this group of people was called the Yanei Gang.
All members of the He family wanted to draw a line between themselves and He Miao, but Li Juan was an exception. Those sisters did not regard He Miao as a relative, but He Miao got along best with Li Juan, the youngest granddaughter of the He family.
Maybe it was because Li Juan's mother, He Miao's aunt and Comrade He Banghui had no sons, and He Miao happened to be the only male in the He family. He Banghui had always loved her nephew since he was a child. Every time He Miao was about to be beaten by his family, He Banghui would come forward to protect him.
Because of this, He Miao escaped many fights, and Li Juan also got along well with He Miao. The age difference between the two was not much, and He Miao was a few months older than Li Juan, so communication between people of the same age was relatively easy.
When she heard that it was her cousin, Li Juan reacted quickly. Seeing He Miao's naughty look, she couldn't help but get angry. She pounced on him fiercely, grabbed "little" He Miao, and beat, bit, pinched and scolded him.
He Miao was very depressed. When it came to dealing with women, he and Yanei were famous in the provincial capital, but they couldn't do anything about this little cousin.
"Juanjuan, stop fighting, I surrender!" He Miao raised his hands, and several figures rushed over. They thought the boss was being beaten up, but they didn't expect that it was Yanei's nemesis who was there.
Li Juan grabbed He Miao's ears and glared fiercely at the people who surrounded him. These brothers usually patted their chests loudly and talked about loyalty, but now seeing He Miao suffering, their eyes flickered and they went back to where they came from.
Hu Jiao secretly laughed at what he saw, and couldn't help but cough dryly, "Juanjuan, pay attention to your image."
It was probably that Li Juan just remembered Hu Jiao's existence at this moment. Her pretty face flushed and she quickly let go of his hand in embarrassment, fearing that Hu Jiao would dislike her "ugly appearance" just now.
He Miao looked at Hu Jiao with his eyes flashing. He had met Hu Jiao several times. At that time, Hu Jiao and Li Juan went to college together. They passed by the provincial capital several times. He had a good impression of Hu Jiao, who could be regarded as the version of He Miao before high school.
"Ha, haha, Hu Jiao? It's you! Okay. Let's go over and sit down. Juanjuan is coming too." Although He Miao looks small, he has big movements and appears to have a very generous personality.
Maybe everyone will deliberately hide their own flaws, whether psychological or physical. He Miao, who looks small, just likes to show the roughness of a "big man".
Little do people know that this kind of behavior often backfires and fails to achieve the desired effect. Instead, it makes people feel humorous, funny, or even obviously artificial.
He Miao's identity is there. He is the eldest son of the He family, He Bangyun Provincial Personnel Department Director, the second son, He Bangyou, Deputy Director of the Water Conservancy Department, the third son, He Bangmin Provincial Party Committee Organization Department Executive Deputy Minister, and the fourth son, He Bangjian, He Miao's father, is the political commissar of the provincial military region.
There is also the old man of the He family. Although he is no longer in the position, he has been the provincial party secretary for ten years. He has promoted people personally, such as the current second-in-command of the provincial party committee, Wu Chengjing, and his influence still remains.
Not to mention that no one dared to laugh at He Miao in person, few dared to mock him behind his back.
Only one person was not affected by He Miao's boldness, and that was Li Juan. She was about to go up and bully her little cousin, but then she thought of Hu Jiao and wanted to be a lady. She rolled her eyes and snuggled up to He Miao, "Brother, we are going home."
He Miao was about to try to persuade her, but he saw Li Juan staring at him intently without moving her beautiful big eyes.
He Miao felt a chill in his heart, "Okay, go home on time, okay!" He turned to Hu Jiao and said, "Let's drink some other time!"
Hu Jiao smiled reservedly and nodded. Compared with He Miao, Hu Jiao was really too tall. He originally wanted to hug her neck, but when he stretched out his hand, he found that he couldn't reach her. He had to pull Hu Jiao's arm, let Hu Jiao lower his head, and whispered in her ear, "If you take down Juanjuan, I owe you a favor! Go to Xiao Guobin to get a room and tell her my name." After saying that, he gave her an ambiguous look.
Hu Jiao gritted his teeth and tried hard to hold back his laughter. How heartless! This cousin is worse than a beast.
Li Juan, with a fake smile on her face, pulled Hu Jiao over and asked, "What are you two discussing? Brother, I'm warning you, don't bring Hu Jiao to meet those people! Especially women!"
Taking her arm from He Miao, Li Juan protected Hu Jiao like a hen, looking as if she would fight you to the death if you dared to disobey her.
He Miao didn't care. He had to put on airs and act in front of others, but that was meaningless in front of Li Juan.
"No way! How is that possible? I told Xiao Hu to come to my house some other day. This is because of your special relationship. It's a good thing. Good things should be shared with the old folks at home, right?" He Miao said this in a righteous manner, and his expression showed that he was extremely concerned about his sister's lifelong happiness.
Hu Jiao was helpless. This brother and sister pair is rare. Just now, they asked me to take them to a hotel for shooting.
Li Juan really took the flattery and smiled with narrowed eyes, "Then we'll go, little brother, take your time."
He Miao looked at Hu Jiao. In his impression, this boy was very gentle. He was afraid that he would not follow through with the request to book a room. His eyes rolled around and he turned his head to Li Juan and said, "Juanjuan, Hu Jiao rarely comes here. Take him to the Little State Guesthouse to take a sauna."
Seeing Li Juan's suspicious expression , He Miao hurriedly interrupted, "Hey, hey, don't look at me like that. If your provincial party committee compound can't even provide this kind of service, tell me my name and put it on my account, okay?"
Li Juan's eyes lit up when she heard this. The Provincial Party Committee Office often entertained important figures at small state guest houses. As deputy section chief of the secretariat section, she had also accompanied family members of leaders or female leaders to enjoy such banquets.
The reason why it is called the Small State Guesthouse is that it was built in imitation of the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse. It can be regarded as a window to the outside world in Nanzhao. Many important receptions, meetings and activities are held in the Small State Guesthouse.
Therefore, all relevant supporting facilities are set up to five-star standards.
Of course, the most famous is the Xiao Guobin Bathing Center. First of all, it is hygienic and decorated in a natural style. In addition, it provides five-star service. After going there twice, Li Juan liked the environment and atmosphere there very much.
He Miao's suggestion hit the nail on the head. He remembered that Li Juan had praised him several times. But Li Juan didn't know that the Xiao Guobin Bath Center was contracted and operated by him.
Seeing that Li Juan was excited, He Miao struck while the iron was hot, "I'll go to the bar and call to book a table for you guys. Just say my name. We must go."
He waved goodbye to the two of them, and his little figure disappeared on the dance floor in a few seconds.
The two stepped out of the noisy dance hall. Hu Jiao had never been to Xiao Guobin, but he had heard about the enjoyment there. Just now, when they were dancing, he was very angry with Li Juan and was still thinking about how to keep her.
He still lived in a guesthouse near the Party School, next to Professor Wang. Of course, it was okay if he didn't go back, but it was a bit difficult to bring Li Juan back.
He Miao's sudden interference made Hu Jiao laugh and cry, and he even said that he owed him a favor. Hu Jiao thought that if something really happened tonight, he could owe He Miao a favor in return.
What you think is one thing, what you do is another.
"Juanjuan, let me take you home." Hu Jiao did not use a negotiating tone. He had to confirm Li Juan's attitude. If Li Juan readily agreed to go home, it meant that there was no hope for the time being. If Li Juan hesitated, it meant...
His expression was resolute, his eyes were passionate, but his heart was calling for a shower...
Li Juan was stunned for a moment and looked at the watch. It was only nine o'clock. It would be fine if she went home at eleven o'clock.
"But my brother has already called and made a reservation. If you don't go, they will still charge you. And my brother will definitely book a room for you. If you don't go, it will be more than a thousand yuan." Li Juan was afraid that Hu Jiao would refuse, so she looked at him weakly.
Is your daughter beautiful?
You’ll know only after you take it off!
Hu Jiao said with a look of embarrassment, "Well, then, I'll avoid being scolded by your brother next time."
When Li Juan heard Sheng's words, she immediately hailed a taxi and headed straight for the small hotel.
Hu Jiao smiled all the way, with his eyes narrowed into a pair of crescents. If Teacher Li Aiju saw this, she would definitely remind Juanjuan that it was very dark behind the crescents.
When they arrived at the Little State Guesthouse, Li Juan took Hu Jiao around the lobby and headed straight to the small building area at the back, then crossed the garden to reach the bathing center.
Li Juan reported He Miao's name, but came back with a strange look on her face and a number plate in her hand.
Hu Jiao had never been here to take a shower, so he didn't know the situation, but judging from Li Juan's expression, it was probably a good thing.
Sure enough, after Li Juan came over, she whispered, "Brother has booked a Turkish room..." She didn't dare to say the rest, that this is a private bathing room for couples.
Just now at the front desk, they have made it clear that all other halls are occupied except the Turkish Room, which is usually reserved for emergency use by the province and is not open to ordinary people. If He Miao hadn't called, they would not have opened it.
Of course Li Juan didn't know that her brother had sold her out a long time ago, so she accepted the arrangement reluctantly. But when the time came, she became a little nervous.
After changing their shoes, the two followed the guide and walked to the second floor. Except for the lobby which was on the seventh floor, the entire hotel was composed of two-story buildings. Surrounded by green trees and intersecting gardens, the environment was quite quiet, creating a peaceful atmosphere in a bustling city.
The bathing center is fully decorated with solid wood, with a strong primitive forest style. Green pine forest patterns are hung on the ceiling, rows of wood with annual rings are on both sides of the walkway, and the ground is covered with soft forest path floors.
The entire second floor is divided into three areas: an ordinary area with fifty bathrooms, a distinguished area with only ten bathrooms, and a mysterious area with only three bathrooms.
Turkish style is one of them.
After entering, three waiters brought white bathrobes, towels, and bathing supplies, as well as snacks and seasonal fruit platters.
The entire Turkish-style garden is decorated in Turkish halal style. The golden light reflects the desert girl. There are two huge wooden cabinets on the left and right outside, and a mural in the middle with many hot men and women hugging and entangled on it.
There is a pointed, arc-shaped door on the mural, and inside is a bathing pool paved with white sand and pebbles. The water in the pool is divided into two halves, one hot and the other cold.
There are two doors on both sides of the pool, one is the sauna and steam room, and the other is the rest room, which has a large bed with a dome-shaped white tent, a sofa, and a bathroom.
It is called a rest room, but it looks more like a luxurious bedroom.
The two of them were not in a hurry to change their clothes. After the waiter had arranged various items, he was about to explain, but Li Juan waved her hand to indicate that she understood.
After Hu Jiao ran through several rooms, he returned outside and stood in front of the mirror on the large wooden cabinet, clicking his tongue, "Corruption, corruption! If the paintings on the wall were real, this would be a place of debauchery and wine."
Li Juan looked at Hu Jiao timidly, "Do you want to... change?"
