[Republic of China] The paradise of rebirth

The second master perfunctorily dealt with the seventh master without changing his face. In fact, in the last life, he and Zai Tao also had some friendship, but Zai Tao was too thoughtful, which made him and the fifth master open-minded. adapt.

Therefore, there has been no way to truly communicate with each other. On the contrary, he and Fifth Master, who were heart-to-hearts in the previous life, have been in love with each other in this life. The so-called confidantes are like this.

When the second master managed to get away, it was getting late, he sighed, he wanted to have dinner with Tsing Yi, but was spoiled by Zai Tao, the second master squinted his eyes, feeling really uncomfortable.

You Qi learned that today Liang Zhongbo took his men to find a perfume shop, but four years later, Zai Tao would also use such a low-level method.

The second master sat in the carriage, his face extremely gloomy, this is Shanghai, not Tianjin, let alone Beijing, Zai Tao, calling you the seventh master is already giving you a great face, I really can't see the current situation clearly.

Zai Tao's carriage took the second master home. After the second master entered the door, he did not return to the wing room, but went directly through the corridor to the backyard. Yuan Qi had already prepared another carriage and was waiting by the back door .

"Did he fall asleep?" Er Ye asked Yuan Qi as he got into the car.

"Return to the second master, not yet." Yuan Qi replied, helping the second master close the car door, then jumped on the front and drove the car to the restaurant.

The carriage went directly to the back door of the restaurant. The second master got out of the car and walked into the backyard. From a distance, he saw that the lights in the wing room were still on. There was a trace of warmth in his heart. The feeling that someone was waiting for him was really good.

The second master pushed open the door and entered the wing room. After closing the door, he found that the room was empty. He chuckled, presumably Tsing Yi was busy in Taoyuan again, he shook his head and walked towards the table.

Surprised to find that the originally messy desk case was tidied up, and the books that had not been reconciled were all stacked aside. He picked up the first book, opened it and looked, and it caught his eye. It's Tsing Yi's beautiful handwriting.

The corner of the second master's mouth was smiling, and his eyes were full of affection. He stroked the handwriting on Tsing Yi lightly, and his image of writing seriously appeared in his mind, and infinite love spewed out of his heart. His Tsing Yi always took care of him, let him It hurts to the bottom of my heart.

After I reconciled the account books, the second master hadn't come back yet, and there was nothing left and right, so I went to Taoyuan again, cleaned up the lobby of the building, and then the wing room on the second floor, where my second master and I would sometimes stay.

After everything was packed, I came to the bronze mirror and found that the wing room was still empty. Although I believed in the second master, when Yuan Qi told me that the second master was asked to leave by Zaitao, I still felt a little uncomfortable.

Now the second master has not returned for a long time, so I am a little hesitant, wondering whether I should use the bronze mirror to see what is going on. I paced back and forth in front of the bronze mirror a few times, and as soon as I gritted my teeth and made up my mind, the bronze mirror showed the figure of the second master in a short time.

After the second master left, I originally wanted to get out of Taoyuan quickly, so I could meet the second master in the wing room, but I saw a figure out of the corner of my eyes, I widened my eyes, and looked at the figure reporting to Zai Tao with some surprise.

Isn't that Mr. Chang?How could the father-in-law in Zaifeng's house follow Zai Tao to leave Beijing and come to Shanghai?

I hurriedly listened carefully to their conversation, and found that Zai Tao seemed to want to do business?Could this be his intention to invite the second master to come to the door today?I listened for a while, and then I heard some tricks, Zai Tao actually wanted to set foot in an opium den? !

Moreover, according to what they said, they wanted to use opium to control officials in the court and eradicate dissidents. I felt chills in my heart. Today's Qing Dynasty is heading towards extinction step by step, but Zai Tao is adding chaos at this time. I'm afraid it will make the situation even worse. confusion.

After I heard their plan, I thought I must tell the second master, so I hurried out of the Taoyuan. I didn't expect that as soon as I got out of the Taoyuan, I was hugged by someone. I looked at the second master in a daze, and it turned out that he was back.

"Tsing Yi, thank you." Second Master said softly with his forehead against mine.

"Second Master, I was in Taoyuan just now..." I hurriedly pulled Second Master and explained what I saw just now in detail. When Second Master heard that Chang Shu was also in Shanghai, he really raised his eyebrows in surprise.

Then he pulled me to sit by the table and poured me a cup of tea. After listening to the whole thing, the second master fell into deep thought. I didn't dare to disturb him, so I picked up the teacup and sipped the tea to let the second master think about it.

"Leave this to me, I have my own plan." After a long time, the second master raised his head and said, I nodded, the second master reached out and took the teacup away from my hand, then led me to get up, and came to the bed.

"It's getting late, let's rest first, what's the matter, we'll talk about it tomorrow." The second master smiled lightly, gently helped me take off my coat, then blew out the light, went to bed and hugged me.

"Second Master, what do you think will happen in three years?" I leaned into Second Master's arms and asked softly.

"No matter what happens, I'm here." The second master held my hands tightly, letting me snuggle into his arms even more, listening to the steady heartbeat of the second master, slowly falling asleep.

When I opened my eyes the next morning, the second master had already got up. He was sitting in front of the desk, burying his head in his pen and writing, looking very busy. I didn't make a sound, just looking at him quietly.

Xu felt my gaze, Er Ye stopped writing, put down the brush in his hand, turned around, saw that I was awake, smiled and said, "How long have you been awake? Why are you silent, what are you thinking alone? "

I sat up, Er Ye got up and took the clothes on the side, and put them on my shoulders, "Be careful of catching a cold, it's colder today than yesterday."

I gathered my clothes, lifted the quilt and got out of bed and asked, "Has Second Master eaten breakfast?"

"Not yet."

"I'll help you prepare it." I put on my coat and padded jacket, and I wanted to help Second Master make breakfast.

"Don't worry, there are servants who can do these things, so you don't need to do it yourself." The second master grabbed me and sat me down at the table, "Drink a cup of hot tea to warm your stomach first, I'm almost done here , I have nothing to do today, I will go to the shop with you."

Second Master mentioned the shop, and I remembered yesterday's plan, and quickly said: "Second Master, after the stock in the past few days is sold out, I want to close the shop, and when the market opens next year, I will sell something else."

"Oh? Why do you want to sell something else? Isn't your perfume selling well?" The second master was a little puzzled. I told my thoughts yesterday. After pondering for a while, the second master said: "Beware is necessary. But there is no need to stop selling perfume because of Zai Tao."

"During his stay in Shanghai, I'll avoid him for a while. It's only for a while, and he won't live in Shanghai for a long time." I don't want to be the second master's weakness. Although I have Taoyuan in my hand, it's always good to be careful .

"It's okay, I didn't tell you last night, but I actually planned to..." Second Master whispered a few words, and I exclaimed, "Second Master, is this... all right?"

"You have to find the right person, you know, I never touch the business of tobacco halls and brothels." The second master paused, and continued, "As soon as Zai Tao came, he wanted me to invest in tobacco halls as a partner, that's clear Step on my bottom line."

"Back to his help, the Yuan family was able to get away safely, but I also played a scene with him, so it's a good deal."

"I thought that after I left Beijing, I would have nothing to do with it, but I didn't expect that four years later, he would appear suddenly, not only making unreasonable demands on me, but also targeting you. If so, why should I show mercy. "

After finishing his speech, the second master picked up the teacup and sipped hot tea. Even so, Zai Tao's status was unusual, if there was a slight discrepancy in this matter, the consequences would be disastrous.

"Don't worry, if we were in Beijing or Tianjin, I wouldn't dare to make such a decision, but now we are in Shanghai, where money can turn ghosts around." The corner of the second master's mouth curled up into a smile, which was actually tight with evil spirits. .

"Is there a candidate in the second master's mind?" Seeing that the second master is full of confidence, he must have found a good candidate.

"There are a few directions, I can decide after I observe." Second Master said with a nod.

"Second Master, you must be cautious about this matter. If you are not sure, it's better not to act rashly." I was still a little worried, and felt that the assassination of Zai Tao was a bit risky.

"I know, don't worry, I won't act recklessly. If Zai Tao leaves soon, I won't attack him." The second master patted my hand, telling me not to worry too much.

"Is it possible for him to leave in the near future?" I wondered, Zai Tao had just arrived and the business hadn't been completed yet, so how could he leave?

"I think I'll give him a chance if we met once." The second master lowered his smile and said lightly, "If he's not sure, I don't mind giving him a ride."

The second master at this time is something I rarely see. The second master is always gentle and affectionate in front of me, and takes good care of me.He rarely has negative emotions in front of me, so facing such a second master, I feel a little strange.

"Scared you?" Seeing my serious expression, Second Master asked.

"No, it's just that I seldom see this side of you, and I'm not used to it." I shook my head, not frightened, but just wondering why he would show this side in front of me.

"Actually, I'm a little uneasy. I'm afraid you'll think I'm too cruel and cold-blooded." After a moment of silence, Second Master spoke lightly. Just as I was about to speak, Second Master raised his hand to stop me, "Listen to me first."

"You mentioned three years later last night. You and I both know how unstable the situation will be three years later. To survive in such turmoil, generosity and gentleness are impossible."

"If I want to protect you, I must become strong. I will eradicate anyone who will endanger your safety." The second master looked at me firmly, and continued: "The me in front of you has always been the most sincere I."

"So whether it's the good side or the bad side, I don't want to hide it from you." Having said that, the second master was a little apprehensive, with unease hidden deep in his eyes.

"Second Master acts decisively, how can he be a bad side?" I held Second Master's hand and said with a smile, "I am very happy to see every side of Second Master, maybe it will be a little strange at first, but it is all Second master, so I am not afraid."

What the second master said is that the Qing Dynasty will no longer exist in three years. In such a turbulent era, if the personality is too weak, how can it survive? Only by being strong can we face the difficult environment.

The times make heroes. In order to be able to adapt to the turmoil in the future, it is understandable for the second master to show his edge. I should also learn to be on my own. I cannot rely on the second master for everything, otherwise it will only become his burden in the future.

Not long after the servant brought breakfast, we ended this heavy topic. After the meal, the second master really accompanied me to the shop. In fact, I was very happy in my heart. After all, the second master is very busy on weekdays, and it is rare to have the opportunity to accompany me.

When we arrived at the shop, the clerk was very surprised to see the second master. I took the second master to sit at the back of the shop, then took out the stock from Taoyuan, and walked to the front with a plate of bottles and cans.

"The boss is in a good mood today." The man took the tray and said with a smile.

"Obvious?" I touched my cheek, is it so easy to see?

"Yes, the boss has a smile on his face all the time." The guy was joking with me while placing the perfume bottles.

"Boss Du, long time no see!" At this moment, a surprised voice came from the side, and I turned my head slightly. It turned out to be Mr. Ke.

Ever since the second master told me to avoid him last time, I no longer meet him. Every day when I go to the shop, I stay at the back and rarely come to the front. I didn't expect that today is such a coincidence that I rarely get to the front , was caught by him.

"Mr. Ke." I nodded slightly, with a calm expression, completely different from his surprise.

"Are you busy recently?" Mr. Ke couldn't see my expression, so he leaned over and asked.

"It's okay." I replied indifferently, thinking about the second master in my heart, fearing that he would be too boring behind him.

"Then why haven't you been to the shop yet?" Mr. Ke asked, I looked at him with a puzzled look on purpose, "Mr. Ke, it seems that I don't need to explain to you if I can't get to the shop?"

I don't want to hurt people like this, but Mr. Ke is too good at reading people's faces. I have already put on the appearance that I don't want to talk, and he can still come to me to make fun of me. It's really helpless.

Mr. Ke was choked by me, as if he finally realized my impatience, and stopped talking. After I told the waiter to entertain the guests well, I gave Mr. Ke a slight nod, and then walked into the back.

If he hadn't thought about me, I wouldn't have rejected people thousands of miles away. After all, Erye and I just arrived in Shanghai, so it would be nice to have one more friend.

It's just that the admiration in his eyes is too obvious, I will not and cannot approach him, since I can't give a response, then I shouldn't give hope in the first place, so I can only choose to refuse indifferently.

When I came to the back, I saw the second master sitting on a chair with his eyes closed and resting his mind, playing with the jade pendant in his hand. I walked over to help him squeeze his shoulders, "I'm sorry for the delay, but are you bored of waiting?"

"It's all right, who's here?" The second master relaxed and enjoyed my massage.

"Mr. Ke." I said lightly, and the second master paused slightly when he heard it was him, and then asked, "What did you say to him?"

"I didn't say anything, he just asked me why I didn't go to the shop." I rubbed the second master's shoulder and said with a light smile.

"How do you answer?" I laughed out loud, Second Master opened his eyes and looked back at me, I held back my smile, "Second Master Yuan, I told him that there is no need to explain Xiao's whereabouts to him, such an answer, Is Second Master satisfied?"

The second master was a little embarrassed, he rubbed his nose and turned around, I didn't expect the second master's vinegar jar to be so big that he would eat even a few words, I found it interesting, and also saw the second master's desire for monopoly.
