Back to the Republic of China as a commander

"Okay, these two ladies, it's okay, you go back, we still have something to do, it's time to leave." Wang Zhenyu turned his back to Ye Ziwen while carefully watching the movement at the entrance of the alley.

Ye Ziwen, who received a Western-style education since she was a child, was very dissatisfied with Wang Zhenyu's behavior of not looking at people when speaking, because it was very impolite. In addition to his frivolous behavior just now, Wang Zhenyu's impression in her eyes has already become negative.But she just saved herself, so she couldn't be angry.She hesitated while turning the buttons on the sleeves of her suit, and said thank you very softly to Wang Zhenyu.

Wang Zhenyu waved his hand: You're welcome.After finishing speaking, I was ready to leave. It is really not suitable to stay in this place of right and wrong for a long time. Safety is still the first right now.

"Hey, wait a minute." Seeing that the three of them really wanted to leave as soon as they said it, Ye Ziwen hurriedly called out again.

"What's the matter, I'm still going to make a promise with my body!" The problem of the future generations talking with girls without covering their mouths has happened again.

Ye Ziwen was so angry that she blushed, she was very scared and wanted these three people to send her home.

But the young man in front of him spoke so frivolously that he didn't look like a good person no matter what.Now she has no gratitude at all, only contempt for these uneducated vulgar people, she pokes Xiaoyue in the back with her finger, but she doesn't want to talk to Wang Zhenyu anymore.

"Three righteous men, we live in the Ye Mansion not far from here, in the British Concession. I don't know if the three righteous men can send us back. If they can help, my master will thank you very much." This man is wearing a black one The servant girl is half a year younger than the young lady, but she speaks very decently.

Wang Zhenyu immediately refused. Originally, he risked his life to save these two chicks (it seems that he didn't do it himself).It turned out that it turned out to be the two tomboys who offended in the western restaurant before, what luck.

And Xiao Meimei naturally didn't give herself a good face, she almost wrote the words "you are a hooligan" on her face.However, Wang Zhenyu in later generations is often judged by girls in this way, and he has already accepted it as usual.Secondly, he is a man, he doesn't want to argue so much with a little girl, it's too shameful.Just treat yourself as a waste of time (contempt again, you didn't contribute much), and leave as soon as possible.

But I don't know why, when the words came to his lips, looking at the red eyes and tightly locked jade eyebrows of the little girl in white, Wang Zhenyu's heart softened, and he agreed in a strange way. . .

Hankou British Concession, Liuye Village, Dongting Street, Ye Mansion.

"The three righteous men, please accept Zuwen's worship. I have already heard what the little girl said. This is really Ye Mou's incompetent discipline, which has caused trouble for the three benefactors."

Ye Zuwen strode into the living room with his head held high to thank Wang Zhenyu and the other three. Ye Zuwen was in his early forties. He was tall and thin, with deep eyes, a mustache that is popular in this era, and a black suit.

This Mr. Ye Zuwen was originally from Nanjing, and he was originally from a scholarly family. His great-grandfather was also a political envoy of the Qing Dynasty, but in his father's generation, he failed many times and failed.In order to make a living, Ye's father entered the curtain as a teacher, but he didn't make a name for himself. In the end, he could only use his relationship with the yamen to start a business that scholars despised very much.

Scholars, farmers, businessmen, and merchants are the last. Ye Zuwen's father, throughout his life, never forgot his ancestral business of studying and becoming an official. For this reason, he named his youngest and most beloved son Zuwen.It's a pity that Ye Zuwen failed to fulfill his father's ardent expectations when he grew up. He didn't like stereotyped essays, and he didn't even pass the exam many times.Later, there was nothing to do, so the doting father had to spend money to find someone to trust, and sent Ye Zuwen to Beijing Jingshi Tongwen Hall to learn English and French.For this reason, at the age of 26, Ye Zuwen also served as the English and French interpreter for Huguang Governor Zhang Zhidong.After Zhang Zhidong's death, Ye Zuwen, who had no fame, started working as a comprador in Jardine Matheson.Six years ago, relying on some of his old connections in Huguang Governor's Mansion, Ye Zuwen opened Ye's Trading Company in the British Concession of Hankou, specializing in foreign trade business for governors, such as purchasing foreign goods and selling native goods.The business was very prosperous at one time, and the Ye family gradually became famous in the Hankou Concession.However, after the outbreak of the Revolution of [-], the disadvantages of this combination of government and business were immediately apparent, and many businesses were half dead due to various reasons.Moreover, since most of the business of Ye's business is foreign-related, once the transaction cannot be completed, the prepaid part will most likely be in vain. The Ye family, which has been prosperous for the second generation, has now gone to the same place as many merchants. on the verge of bankruptcy.

Faced with such a situation, Ye Zuwen, who is in charge, is naturally very anxious. He has been looking for ways to find a way around these days, but he has been unable to get the point, and he is depressed.I don't want my favorite daughter to sneak out of the house in disregard of my prohibition. If it weren't for the three in front of me, something big would happen.Ye Zuwen was ready to reprimand his precious daughter in the study just now, but the benefactor was waiting in the front hall. He planned to thank the benefactor first, give him a big reward, and then find the dead girl to settle the score when he came back.

Speaking of the three people in front of him, Ye Zuwen, who thought he was well-informed, couldn't help being secretly surprised.

These three people are very interesting, only one person is sitting on the sofa, it seems that the three people are obviously headed by this person.So Ye Zuwen took a closer look at the man who was sitting still. Although he was wearing a long gown, with sword eyebrows, single skinned eyes, wide nose and wide mouth and oval face, he was a blessed man from his appearance.Especially the sharpness emanating from between the brows, it seems that he is not young, but he is only in his early twenties.A person's temperament can be so inconsistent with his age, this is really strange to Ye Zuwen, who considers himself to have read countless people.

The two standing behind him were all dressed in bunts, one of them was of medium build, with slightly protruding cheeks, calm eyes, and a solemn expression.On the whole, looking at the nose with the eyes and the heart with the nose is very tolerant to the impression that humans and animals are harmless, but Ye Zuwen can feel that this person exudes a kind of ruthlessness in his bones, and he is by no means an ordinary character.

The other one was tall and strong, and the thick padded jacket couldn't cover the explosiveness in his body, and a sturdy aura was naturally exposed outside, which couldn't be concealed at all.Ye Zuwen, who traveled all over the world, only saw the blue veins on the thick neck of this man, and he knew that he was a practicing family man, and his skills must be extraordinary.

Ye Zuwen also noticed one thing in particular, the standing posture of these two people is very strange, which is definitely not what ordinary guards thugs should have.Rather, this posture is very familiar. It seems that I often saw it when I went in and out of the Governor's Mansion. Yes, this is the unique standing posture of the new army. The general party and the old army do not stand in this way.Therefore, Ye Zuwen made a very accurate judgment. [-]% of the three people in front of him are soldiers, and they are also new soldiers.It's just that the three towns of Wuhan are currently gathering troops, so it's unknown whether these three are from the six towns of Beiyang or the new army from Hubei. . .

Now that the situation is chaotic, the most sought-after ones are no longer those masters in the yamen, but these soldiers with guns.Ye Zuwen immediately adjusted his attitude. After thanking the three people very sincerely, he didn't choose to see off the guests immediately, but sat down gently and chatted.

First of all, I naturally asked out of habit: "Dare you ask the names of the three benefactors?"

"Hehe, my surname is Wang Wenzheng. Hehe, this is my cousin Ma Cheng, and this is my righteous brother Zhao San." Wang Zhenyu directly stated the name as his name. After all, he is in a different place, so be careful.

Zhao Dongsheng was still standing straight behind him, his chin raised slightly, and he still didn't say a word. This kind of behavior made Wang Zhenyu who was sitting in front of them look very imposing.Wang Zhenyu knew this a long time ago. When he went to recruit the student army in Hankou, Wang Zhenyu deliberately took Zhao Dongsheng with him. Why, he just wanted to use this kid's big size to help him suppress the situation.

When Ye Zuwen heard the other party's application, he naturally believed that the young man in front of him must be extraordinary. The report was a false name, probably because he had an opportunity, and it was inconvenient to tell his real name.

Ye Zuwen is also in the lake, he laughed very wisely and didn't point it out.

"Three benefactors, my little girl can be rescued by three benefactors, it can be considered that our Ye family has a predestined relationship with the three benefactors. Ye has nothing to repay, so he can only prepare a small gift to show his gratitude. Please don't dislike the three benefactors. Respect Please accept it."

Chapter 027 Hankou Ye Family ([-])

The housekeeper of the Ye family came up with a plate, and on it were three packs of silver dollars wrapped in red paper, each pack was fifty. This also shows Ye Zuwen's love for this daughter, and the Ye family is also in a quagmire right now, but For the 150 Mexican eagles, Ye Zuwen took them out without even frowning to thank the benefactor in front of him.This move was sincere. If something happened to Ye Ziwen, Ye Zuwen, who regarded her as the apple of his eye, would probably completely collapse under the internal and external difficulties.So compared with my precious daughter, this little money is really nothing, alas, poor parents all over the world.

Ye Ziwen, who is curious by nature, has slipped out of the study at this moment, leaning against the corner of the second floor, secretly revealing half of her head, her big watery eyes are peeking at everything that happened in the living room.When her father asked Uncle Zhong, the housekeeper, to take out three packages of Ying Yang, she secretly said to Wang Zhenyu who was sitting on the sofa: "Big rascal, accept this money, and I won't owe you anything after Miss Ben's death."

Unexpectedly, the next scene almost made Ye Ziwen's chin hit the floor.

Wang Zhenyu did not take the silver dollar from the butler, but waved his hand very gracefully and said: "Mr. Ye, you are welcome. If you see injustice, it is my duty to take action. The three of us appreciate your kindness." , this money is absolutely unacceptable to Zhang, please take it back."

Ye Ziwen's eyes narrowed into a line, this person is so strange, why is there such a relic from the past, the contrast between the front and the back is too great!

Ye Zuwen, on the other hand, was surprised by the young man Wang Zhenyu. He signaled Uncle Zhong, the housekeeper, to put the money on the tea table. He didn't continue the topic, but chatted with Wang Zhenyu in an easy-going way.

Ye Zuwen said: "How old is Brother Zhang? Where is he from?"

Wang Zhenyu said: "Twenty one, from Hunan."

Ye Zuwen said: "I don't know where brother Zhang is looking for a job?"

Wang Zhenyu said: "Hehe, I live with my uncle. No, I came to the concession to see what business can be done?"

Ye Zuwen: "Business? Hehe, this Ye is good at it. I don't know what kind of line Brother Zhang wants to do? Let's see if Ye can help?"

This is a bit shallow, Wang Zhenyu hesitated for a moment, no matter what, he has no acquaintances in this concession, so if he bumps into it like this, sooner or later something will happen, he might as well tell the truth to Mr. Ye in front of him.

Wang Zhenyu said: "I have some weapons in my hand, and it is inconvenient to take them back to Hunan. I want to dispose of them here in Hankou. Mr. Ye can also do this business?"

Talking about business again, Ye Ziwen suddenly felt that these people are really boring, especially Daddy, these people are just helping her once, just give some money and leave.She actually started talking about business with someone, Miss Ye was stubborn, she was not interested in listening, she turned around and went back to her room.

But Ye Zuwen fell into a short thought: Arms!As a veteran comprador, he naturally knew that the most sought-after commodity in the concession right now was arms.

Seeing the very calm young man in front of him smiling at him, Ye Zuwen suddenly had a strange feeling that maybe this person could help him solve the difficulties in front of him.

Ye Zuwen turned around and said: "Uncle Zhong, let me know and ask the cook to prepare some special dishes and put more chili peppers. I want to host a banquet to thank the three benefactors. In addition, please make preparations, and I will have dinner with us here later." , no need to go to the backyard."

"Yes" the butler bowed and stepped back.

Ye Zuwen said to Wang Zhenyu again: "There is nothing to entertain at home, you three, don't be polite to me. As for the business, Brother Zhang, it is fate that we met, so don't worry, let's not eat and talk."

Wang Zhenyu chuckled: "The guest is up to the owner, so we have to disturb Mr. Ye."

Ye Zuwen nodded: "Those three rest in the living room for a while, and Ye Mou also goes to change clothes and leave."

As soon as Mr. Ye left, Wang Zhenyu breathed a sigh of relief. He pretended to be very hard just now, but dealing with a shrewd businessman like Ye Zuwen, he didn't pretend that he might be sold and paid for it.He stood up from the sofa and took a closer look at the European-style Ye mansion, and found that he found something very fresh, and from time to time he would comment with Ma Xicheng and Zhao Dongsheng.

"I said Zhao Dongsheng, do you like this house?" Wang Zhenyu said half-jokingly.

"The beams in this house are too high. You can see that the place where he lives is on the second floor. This person will not be down-to-earth after living for a long time; there are some paintings on the wall, but they are not New Year pictures, and there is no joy at all; the door is too small , not to mention that there are no couplets hanging, and there are no stone lions in front of the door, how can I say it? It is not as grand as the big house of rich man Xu in my hometown." Zhao Dongsheng scratched his head and answered truthfully, unexpectedly one by one, logically.

"Hehe, yes, when you get promoted and get rich in the future, Mr. Zhao, remember to go back to your hometown and build a big house that is bigger and more magnificent than Mr. Xu's house. The kind of carp. You, Brother Zhao, can have many children and grandchildren, and attract wealth and wealth! Hahaha" Wang Zhenyu was happy with Zhao Dongsheng again.

"What a land turtle!" A melodious female voice came to Wang Zhenyu's ears. Wang Zhenyu followed the voice and was stunned.

A woman with delicate features is wearing a white evening dress and is walking down the handrail of the stairs step by step. The tall figure and the long floor-length evening dress are really a perfect match, and the woman's fair skin is pure Against the background of the white evening dress, it looks even more innocent, like snow lotus in Tianshan Mountain.The western-style perm combined with two shallow dimples made all men intoxicated, and the beauty and purity were perfectly integrated in this woman.

It's so beautiful, the whole house goddess, even Wang Zhenyu, an airplane king who thinks he has countless girls, can't help sighing in his heart.

Unexpectedly, the woman narrowed her eyes suddenly, smiled slightly, and ran up to Wang Zhenyu abruptly, carefully stared at Wang Zhenyu's eyes with her big watery eyes, then boldly put her head under Wang Zhenyu's eyelids and whispered Asked: "Am I beautiful? A soil turtle."

The last word brought Wang Zhenyu back to the world from heaven, and he immediately recognized that the beautiful woman in front of him was none other than the ghostly Ye family who had been rescued by the three of them (are you among them?) Miss Ye Ziwen.
