After Waking up Beside the Villain

Yu Jingzhi put the breakfast in his bedroom, and as soon as Chu Yunsheng entered, he saw that the man who was alive and well yesterday, with a bullet hole who couldn't forget his happiness, was now a sick Xishi, with pale face and bleeding lips. Dry and blue, the whole person is unhappy.

Before Chu Yun could ask, Yu Jingzhi raised the corners of his lips and smiled: "Chu Shao laughed at the craftsmanship of the little maid in the house."

After saying this, Chu Yunsheng could see that Yu Jingzhi's face was covered with powder. He was already too fair, and the powder was only a thin layer. Found something wrong.Looking at Yu Jingzhi's posture, it was clear that he wanted to scrape off a layer of skin from Du Tianming's body, but it was not good.

Chu Yunsheng suddenly recalled Professor Yin in the first two worlds. Compared with the present, it really has changed a lot.This is not only the revelation of the inside, but also the reflection of time.

Of course, compared to Professor Yin who has no memory in every world, the changes in himself may be even more earth-shaking.

After breakfast, Chu Yunsheng went to the small study in Yu Jingzhi's courtyard, and wrote a letter to his family after careful consideration of words and sentences.

He pretended that he was still in Beiping, reported to the Chu family that he was safe, and talked about the establishment of the factory in the same tone as before. He only said that he had met a good friend, that things had already begun, and that he would be busy in the near future, so he might not be able to do so in time Get in touch, so Father Chu and Mother Chu don't have to worry.

At this time, the writing movement had just started, and the written sentences were still somewhat nondescript and half-literate. Although Chu Yunsheng had been an ancient person, he still had some difficulties in writing this type of writing.

After writing the letter, he entrusted the servant guarding the door to deliver it to Yu Jingzhi, while he himself read the books and newspapers of this era in the small study with great interest.

This is a time when the whole country of China is breaking down the old and welcoming the new, and undergoing drastic changes. Ideology, culture, industrial technology, and customs and traditions are all experiencing internal and external collisions. Countless free and enthusiastic sparks bloom, and countless capable people and strangers rush to the surging trend——Chu Yunsheng Temporarily unable to leave Yu's mansion, and unable to see the complete outside world, it is enough to be able to get a glimpse of one or two from the book.

"Young Master Chu, sir, please move to the Yisheng Academy, the play is about to begin."

At sunset, the clock on the wooden cabinet rang five times, and there was a sudden knock on the door of the small study.

Chu Yunsheng didn't expect that in the scene where Yu Jingzhi invited Du Tianming, he even arranged a role for himself.But he knew that Yu Jingzhi was not a reckless person, since he made such an arrangement, he must have his own intentions.

After finishing his clothes, Chu Yunsheng turned off the lamp on the table, walked out of the small study, and asked, "Have all the guests arrived?"

The servant was leading the way, his steps were light, he looked like a trainer, he said with a smile: "Yaomo is coming soon. Don't worry about Chu Shao, sir, let the little one tell you, just listen to the music and have fun. "

Chu Yunsheng nodded without asking further questions.

Most of the courtyards in Yu Mansion imitated the layout of Suzhou gardens. Chu Yunsheng walked through a winding corridor with others, and saw the Yisheng Courtyard which was not far away.

There was already music in the courtyard, but there was no libretto yet, so there should be no official opening.

When Chu Yunsheng entered the yard, he saw several rows of tables and chairs with pineapple flowers on the corridor opposite the stage, and there were some melon and fruit refreshments that were not common in this season.

The main seat and the front seat are still vacant, but there are a few people sitting in the back. It can be seen that there are wealthy gentry and merchants, soldiers with guns, and gentle officials. Their status and status are very different, but they can sit together and chat happily If there is no barrier, they must all be under Yu Jingzhi's hands.

The arrival of Chu Yunsheng attracted the attention of those present.

It's just that although the Chu family has a few pharmacies, they are far from being ranked in Haicheng. In addition, Yuanshen stayed abroad when he was young. Now that he returned to China, he didn't stay in Haicheng for a few days, so he ran to Peiping. Therefore, in half of the yard, there are people from all schools and schools in Haicheng, but no one recognizes him.

The chatter and laughter in the courtyard fell for a while, and a rich middle-aged businessman with a shiny head parted in the middle first smiled at Chu Yun, and looked at the servant who was leading the way: "Brother Ping An, this is..."

Ping An asked Chu Yunsheng to sit in a seat not far behind the main seat, and said with a smile: "Boss Meng, this is Mr. Tonggu, Chu Tonggu, my husband's friend in Beiping. I want to open a private hospital in the city, and my husband is very interested, so I invited Mr. Tonggu to live in the mansion."

Chu Yunsheng sat down, bowed his head to everyone, his expression was calm and indifferent, and he didn't show any surprise to Ping An's words.

What Ping An said was obviously ordered by Yu Jingzhi. This remark can firstly clarify the identity of Chu Yunsheng, and secondly, it can prepare an excuse for the pharmaceutical factory that is to be opened first, which is considered appropriate.

"It turned out to be Brother Tonggu, lucky to meet!"

Hearing this, the expressions of the people in the seat all relaxed, and they became a lot closer, smiling and greeting Chu Yunsheng.

Most of them are older than Chu Yunsheng, but because of the introduction of "Mr. Yu's friend", they dare not belittle him.There are even some people who are Yu Jingzhi's confidantes, who know what Yu Jingzhi is doing behind the scenes, understand his admiration for those new school people, and look at Ping An's attitude, so they can't help but guess in that direction, and they dare not. Show more.

Fortunately, although Chu Yunsheng was indifferent, he was not indifferent. At this time, when he started to communicate with each other, he still didn't talk much, but his sentences were measured. In the blink of an eye, the scene of happy conversation was restored in the corridor.

Boss Meng asked curiously: "Tonggu wants to run a hospital, but he is a Western medicine doctor?"

"I know a little bit about both Chinese and Western medicine." Chu Yunsheng replied.

Boss Meng seemed startled, and immediately thought of something, and asked, "Then... you want to practice both Chinese and Western medicine?"

Before Chu Yunsheng could answer, Boss Meng shook his head: "Tonggu, if you want to open a larger hospital, you still need to practice Western medicine. If you open a hospital, don't practice Chinese medicine. Listening to your words, you seem to have stayed abroad. , I don’t know what’s going on in our area, Chinese medicine and Western medicine are so hot now, and the newspapers have scolded me for so many rounds. If you want fame, avoid it.”

"You see, even Mr. Yu, who ran a hospital and a clinic before, didn't dare to bring these two together, for fear that the quarrel would go on forever, which would miss the original intention of running a hospital."

Chu Yunsheng also knew a little bit about the dispute between China and the West in this era. He never thought that something like the integration of Chinese and Western medicine must be done here, so he nodded kindly, and then asked: "Mr. Hospital?"

"In the past few years, there have been many clinics, both inside and outside the concession, and sooner or later there will be free clinics." Boss Meng said, sighing, "But by this year, half of them will not be able to continue. The total number of western medicine in the entire Haicheng Not many, and many of them are foreigners, no matter how powerful Mr. Yu is, he can’t control the freedom of foreigners, and no matter how high the salary allocated is, he won’t be able to keep them.”

"The most irritating thing is those fake foreigners with eyes on their foreheads! They are from China, but they feel that they have learned some medicine and left the country. Healing! It was a face in the free clinic, but it was another face in the home of a high-ranking official..."

Chu Yunsheng was listening, when Director Zhou in suit and leather shoes in front of him suddenly turned his head and interjected with a smile: "Boss Meng, are you not among the high-ranking officials?"

Director Zhou said: "Whether it's foreign doctors from outside or Western doctors in our country, there are still many people who save lives and heal the wounded and have noble medical ethics. The epidemic in Haicheng County last summer and autumn caused chaos even in the suburbs, and the concession was semi-blocked. People were forbidden to enter and leave, but many doctors came to me, begging for favors, and went outside to save people. Some even sneaked there at night. A doctor Lu I knew at the time ran out of the French Concession and was arrested by the French. The soldiers chased him and broke his leg, and he was laughed at for a long time."

Boss Meng laughed: "I know! Dr. Lu doesn't like to listen to other people's talk, but he likes to talk about it himself, making it a joke at the dinner table..."

Director Zhou also laughed, and said: "He is a good doctor. There will always be such good doctors, but there are few at present, but there will be more and more in the future. will be one of them.”

Chu Yunsheng understood the deep meaning of Director Zhou's words, and couldn't help laughing in his heart. Yu Jingzhi's subordinates and friends are really interesting and caring people.

The three chatted a few more words on the topic of the hospital, and then heard footsteps coming from far and near outside the hospital, and immediately, several figures turned around from the moon cave gate.

The leader is Yu Jingzhi, who has already changed into a black-bottomed robe and a dark red mandarin jacket with narrow sleeves.The fabric of the mandarin jacket is shiny and soft, woven with dark patterns, and in the thick red dusk of half-brightness, there is a gloomy color flowing. He passed under the plum tree at the gate of the courtyard, and when the wind picked up, the color was blown up from the skirt of his clothes. His cheeks, compared with his deliberate sickness, had a special charm.

Behind him, more than a dozen men in Tibetan and blue shorts surrounded the two of them, and also stepped into the courtyard one after another.

The one who came in first was a foreigner with yellow hair and blue eyes. He seemed to have never seen the battle in this courtyard, and he made no secret of his curiosity and surprise, and frequently cast his gaze at the stage that had been set up.

The one who gave way with a smile was a short-bearded man in a long robe and top hat.The man was about forty years old, and his figure was a little fat, but his movements showed dexterity.Although this person looks ordinary, like a rich man, but his imposing manner is not weak, it looks like he has been in a high position for a long time and has blood on his hands.

This should be the president of the Tianming Society, Du Tianming understood.

Chu Yunsheng got up together with the crowd, greeted them, and took a look at them at the same time. Apart from the three leading men, he also noticed that among the men behind him, a young man stood out a bit.

Compared with the people around him, this young man looks quite good, but his brows and eyes are very hostile, which seems to carry a sickly gloom. If Chu Yunsheng guessed correctly, this man is probably one of Li Lingbi's four partners The young master of Tianminghui, Du Qi.

"Brother Yu, it's a big battle. So many people have been invited. It turns out that I, Old Du, are not the only ones invited."

When Du Tianming saw these people in the courtyard, he laughed and waved his hands to everyone: "We are old acquaintances, you are welcome to do whatever you want, just sit down!"

"Oh, by the way," Du Tianming said, and suddenly raised his hand sideways, "This is Mr. Pete from England. He has a very high status... Brother Yu, Mr. Pete likes Huaguo opera, so Mr. Pete should take the lead. Is it too much?"

Chu Yunsheng noticed that Yu Jingzhi had been looking at Du Tianming with a smile like a monkey playing since he entered the courtyard, as if he was not worried about the sudden appearance of Mr. Pete who was obviously supporting Du Tianming.

At this time, Du Tianming's words were thrown away, and he was not surprised. The smile on his lips did not move, and he responded: "As a guest, you should respect yourself. I saw that Mr. Pete just looked at the stage, and he seemed to have narrowed his eyes. It should be due to my poor eyesight, and I may not be able to see clearly when I go to the corridor. Since Mr. Pete likes Huaguo opera, I don't want to let Mr. Pete not have enough fun."

"Ping An, someone will add a set of tables and chairs in front, closer to the stage."

Yu Jingzhi ordered, ignored Du Tianming's slightly changed expression, and sat down with his robe lifted.

That Mr. Pete didn't hear the compliments and sarcasm between the two, and the sharpness of the words, he was very happy to see him closer, and sat down happily.

Du Tianming's smile faded, and with a wave of his hand, he also led others to sit down.

Seeing this, Boss Meng, who was sitting next to Chu Yunsheng, tilted his head and said in a low voice, "This dude not only brings a group of brothers to the show, but also encourages a foreigner... This stinky foot who just got a foreigner I can't help but come here to embarrass Mr. Yu, I can't even say a word, the main position is not the main position, even a three-year-old child can't play this machine, after all these years, he still can't get on the stage..."

Boss Meng had just said a few small words, and before the newly recognized Brother Chu could respond, there was a commotion on the stage.

Most of the festive operas on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month are festive with lanterns and festoons, and they are all lantern operas, usually in the evening or at night.

The Fengxiang troupe came to Yu's house to sing the hall, and although they came to prepare before dawn, the real opening was already five or six o'clock now.

Today's play for this festival is a very well-suited "Lighting of the Lantern Moon".

Yu Jingzhi slightly raised his hand, and baskets of copper coins were sprinkled on the stage.

That Mr. Pete seemed to be really here to listen to the play, and he listened very intently, and even hummed along with some passages.

When the play was about halfway through, a Tsing Yi with a lantern came onto the stage, with a beautiful figure and elegant appearance. He only walked around the stage for a small half circle and attracted the attention of many people present.

It's just that for some reason, this Tsing Yi seemed to be a little flustered, he took two hurried steps, then tilted his body and fell down.The lamp held in his hand also fell on the lift, and the candle turned sideways, and the fire was lit in an instant.

This change shocked everyone on the stage to change their expressions.

The hand pulling the string trembled, and the string collapsed.

"Yu, Mr. Yu..."

"Mr. Yu! This is really an accident. It was definitely not intentional to spoil your luck. I beg you to forgive me—"

"Baichu! Come here quickly, Baichu, why are you still standing there in a daze! Kneel down to accompany Mr. Yu!"

For a moment, as if the sky had fallen, all the people on the stage softened their legs, and begged Yu Jingzhi on the main seat in shock and fear.

Yu Jingzhi looked at it calmly, until some theater troupe went to pick up and drag people over, then he smiled softly, and said: "How bad is my reputation, Yu Jingzhi? Could it be that I am a living king? Do you want to seduce people all day? It’s okay, it’s nothing at all, go down and clean up, after a quarter of an hour, continue singing.”

Everyone in the Fengxiang class looked up in astonishment, obviously in disbelief, and when they realized it, they hurried to the backstage with gratitude.

The courtyard suddenly fell silent again. Du Tianming sipped his tea and said, "Brother Yu is even more powerful in Haicheng than the emperor who was restored to the north last year. Look at all of them who are so frightened. It’s like chopping off your head. It’s a new era, the Republic of China, and you have to keep up with the advances of the West. Brother Yu can’t play the old way..."

Yu Jingzhi's smile remained unrestrained, and he looked at Du Tianming: "Brother Du, you have wronged me. Look at me now, this physical injury is all the result of being too complacent. A kind person like me, you can listen to me. I can’t do that. It’s just that I’ve been wondering, who spread the reputation of being domineering and disregarding people’s lives?”

"It's been passed on very well, but among the lives I've neglected, sooner or later, I don't know if his name will be heard."

When the tea bowl was lightly touched on the table, Du Tianming narrowed his eyes slightly.
