The Jade of the Republic of China

At ten o'clock in the evening, Meng Liansheng talked with Zijun for a while, and after the little guy went to bed and fell asleep, he went downstairs leisurely, walked out through the corridor, and walked towards the annex.

I met one or two servants on the way, and said good night to each other politely.

The lights in the garden were still on, illuminating the green fragrance of the garden in early summer, and there were occasional whispers in the quiet night.All this is obvious, and the Cypress Park has been restored to its former order.

It was not only the Bai Mansion that restored order, but the entire Shanghai Bund as well.

Li Yongnian and his Shunhe have been a big fan along the way and offended many people. After his death, his subordinates either ran away or submitted certificates to other gangs and local merchants. The remaining unimportant workers were nothing more than It's just begging for food, just like everyone else.

Such a big Shunhe, but in just a few days, it was completely divided up by all parties, especially the Qing Gang, so there are the most rumors that Li Yongnian died at the hands of the Qing Gang.

Lixin's sites are in the public concession and South China City, and the Green Gang, which controls the transportation of tobacco and soil in the French Concession, has never interfered with each other, because this time they did not participate in the competition for Li Shunhe's business, and the two sides tacitly continued to live in peace.

The outside is calm and the sea is calm, and the inside is under the blessing of both kindness and power——Du Zan, Chen Yong, and Meng Liansheng, it is also peaceful.

Everyone said that Bai Qinghe was right.

Meng Liansheng was deeply convinced of this.

He returned to his small room, stood in front of the mirror, and took off the black veil on his arm.

Bai Qinghe's seventh episode has passed, and Du Zan took a group of people to gamble and visit a brothel tonight, and even Chang An and Chang Ping brothers went out for a big drink. It can be seen that the matter of grief is not worth mentioning, and he is not an outlier.

He made an appointment with Shen Yutong to meet at his small building tonight, and since it's been a long time since we saw each other, he couldn't help being a little excited.

He tidied up his clothes, put on his glasses, and the person in the mirror was a well-dressed young man.

From Bai Qinghe's death to now, he has never been back to the small building on Fumin Road, and only asked Mama Wu to clean it every day.Wu Ma is a conscientious aunt, and obviously she hasn't been lazy these days, because the potted flowers on the balcony are blooming brightly.

He stopped the car, looked at the lights of the small building, and couldn't help but smile, the second young master was already waiting for him in the house.

Hearing the sound of a car outside the door, Shen Yutong knew that Meng Liansheng had returned, so he hurried to the entrance and opened the door.

"You're here!" He pulled the man in with a smile, closed the door and looked him up and down, making sure that the man in front of him was intact, then curled the corners of his mouth and let out a sigh of relief.

Meng Liansheng was also looking at him, looking at his face that made him miss him for many days, he suddenly hugged him and said, "Second Young Master, I miss you so much."

Shen Yutong said, "I miss you too."

The reunion after a long absence, the two of them are a match for firewood.

It was not until the early morning that it calmed down.

The time together was too short, and no one was willing to just fall asleep like this, so they leaned against the head of the bed and chatted casually.

Shen Yutong seemed to think of something, and asked, "I've read a lot of messy news in the newspaper these days, and I don't know which is true and which is false. What happened to Li Yongnian, Shunhe, and Mr. Bai's family? Do you know the inside story? Are you Lixin involved?"

For more than a month, Meng Liansheng killed five or six people. In his opinion, whether it was revenge or healing, he was doing what he should do, and these people deserved to die.He neither considered himself wrong nor cruel.

But he also understood that Shen Yutong would definitely not think so. The other party was a rich man who grew up in Jinxiudui. He had never experienced the sufferings of the world. To him, murder and arson were a big deal.He doesn't know how insignificant human life is in this world, just like his dead parents, brother, husband, and uncle,

Since he didn't like it, there was no need to tell him the truth.

Meng Liansheng thought for a while, then shook his head and said in a low voice, "I'm not quite sure. It should be that Shunhe and the Qing Gang had a dispute over the tobacco business. As for Bai Sanye and the others, I don't know much about them. After all, it has nothing to do with Lixin. Now Lixin is very calm up and down, you don't have to worry about me."

Shen Yutong nodded, and said again: "I think you are young, Boss Boss will leave such a big stall as Lixin to you, I'm afraid you will be under too much pressure."

"There must be pressure." Meng Liansheng chuckled, "But if Second Young Master visits me more, no matter how much pressure there is."

Shen Yutong rubbed his head: "Well, as long as Fengxian is not busy, I will come back to see you."

Meng Liansheng leaned against his neck and said, "Actually, if you can't come back in Fengxian, I can go to see you." That's all, and added, "But when the eldest son is not around."

Shen Yutong was amused by him: "Are you still afraid of my elder brother?"

Meng Liansheng said solemnly: "I'm afraid that the eldest son will find out about our relationship and won't let you meet me again."

Shen Yutong thought about it too, originally Shen Yuan was a little afraid of him now, if she knew that the two had such a relationship, she would definitely beat the mandarin ducks.He is not afraid of his eldest brother, but his father is old and in poor health, so it is a big deal to get angry with the old man.

He thought for a while and said: "Then when my elder brother is away, you come to Fengxian to find me, and I will take you to the beach to watch the sunset."

Meng Liansheng looked forward to it, and pointed out his finger to him childishly: "Okay, when we are all free, we will go to the beach to sunbathe together."

Shen Yutong smiled and ticked him off: "It's a deal."

Meng Liansheng stretched out his arms to hug him, sniffed his neck for a while, and murmured: "My life seems to be not very good. People around me always leave me one by one. But as long as the second son is around, no matter how hard it is, It's all worth it."

This feeling of being depended on made Shen Yutong's heart full of tenderness, and he was finally able to do what he wanted to do at the funeral - reached out and touched his head lovingly, then kissed his face: "Second Young Master I won’t make you suffer any more in the future.”

Meng Liansheng said: "The second young master will always be by my side."

Shen Yutong deliberately teased him with a smile: "Then what if I want to leave you?"

Meng Liansheng raised his head, looked at him with a pair of dark eyes, and said, "Then I'll lock up Second Young Master."

His tone was very serious, but those eyes were too clean and gentle, as if they were naturally merciful, so there was no deterrent effect in saying such words.

Shen Yutong didn't care about it, rubbed his head again, messed up his short hair, and said with a smile: "Stinky boy, you are quite capable!"

Meng Liansheng leaned on him with a smile: "I don't stink."

……

The days returned to calm. Shen Yutong went back to the concession two or three times a month, and each time he stayed for two or three days. During these two or three days, he still had to spend time with his father and family, and he didn't spend much time with Meng Liansheng.Fortunately, he has grown up for a long time and has many friends. His father and brother don't interfere with his whereabouts. He doesn't go home at night, but he only says that he is going to drink with his friends, and he doesn't ask any more questions.Although the time he and Meng Liansheng got together was short, at least it was considered free.

As for Meng Liansheng going to Fengxian to see him, after three months, he was only looking for an opportunity. It was Shen Yuan who went to Suzhou to discuss business, and he didn't go to Fengxian for half a month.Meng Liansheng came to stay for four or five days. During the day, he followed Shen Yutong around the factory. In the evening, he went to the seaside salt field to watch the sunset. At night, he slept together and talked and chatted.

In the blink of an eye, more than half of the year has passed, and the clothes on his body have changed from thin shirts to thick jackets.

On this day, Shen Yutong was busy at the salt factory, and the secretary of the factory sent him a letter, saying that it was an urgent letter from Master Long.Shen Yutong only knew one Master Long in total, and when he opened the letter, it really was Long Jialin's bad writing.

He glanced laboriously, his brows gradually furrowed.

It turned out that the letter said that the two factions in Jiangsu and Zhejiang were going to fight in the next two days, so he was asked to shut down the factory and return to the concession as soon as possible to avoid being affected by the flames of war.The two commanders of Jiangsu and Zhejiang have been competing for Shanghai and dominating Jiangdong for a long time. Recently, there have been frequent frictions. This battle will be fought sooner or later.

Shen Yutong didn't expect it to be so fast.

Since Long Jialin specially sent him an urgent message, the soldiers from Zhejiang might come in immediately.His brother Shen Yuan had just returned to the concession, so he hurriedly called home to tell him the news.Shen Yutong was also well-informed, saying that the hundreds of thousands of troops in Zhejiang had already prepared half a month ago.

The Shen family is a family of merchants, it doesn't matter who controls Shanghai, but if there is a war, they will definitely suffer losses.After the two brothers discussed, Shen Yutong asked his brother not to come to Fengxian, and he arranged the workers here and returned to the concession immediately.

In fact, the salt factory is by the sea, and the terrain is remote. Even if there is a war, the possibility of being affected by the flames of war is very small. But just in case, after hanging up the phone, Shen Yutong called the manager and ordered the shutdown. The workers whose homes are nearby returned immediately. The rest of the workers stayed in the factory and were not allowed to go out.

After arranging everything, it was already dusk, he got into the car and prepared to go back to Shen's garden.Unexpectedly, the car had only been driving for more than half an hour, and suddenly there was a burst of gunfire ahead, and then a huge group of ordinary people ran away from the front.

Cheng Da stopped the car, opened the window and asked loudly, "What's going on?"

"When there was a war, when there was a war, the roads were smashed by cannons!"

Shen Yutong looked at the chaos outside the window and guessed that there were soldiers fighting ahead.Long Jialin was careless, and there was no date of signature on the letterhead. I'm afraid that the urgent letter was actually two days late, and soldiers from Zhejiang had already entered.

Rushing forward to return to the concession, I don't know how many lines of fire I have to cross.Guns have no eyes, and the tin box under him cannot withstand shelling.

After hesitating for a moment, he told the driver: "Cheng Da, turn around and go back to the saltworks."

"clear."

Back at the factory, Shen Yutong originally wanted to call his family to explain the situation, but he didn't know that the phone couldn't get through. He was afraid that the line was damaged, so he had to give up and stay in the factory honestly waiting for news.

The exchange of fire was obviously intense, and even though the factory was located in a remote seaside, the sound of gunfire that continued all night could still be vaguely heard.

In the early morning of the next day, Shen Yutong had breakfast, came out of the room, and strolled to the factory gate to check the situation outside, but saw a group of people crowded outside the gate, all of them described as embarrassed, like beggars, reaching out for water.The concierge gave some water through the gap in the iron gate and began to drive away.

Shen Yutong called the concierge over and asked, "What's going on?"

The porter replied with a bitter face: "It is said that they came from Songjiang. There was a fierce exchange of fire yesterday, and many houses were blown up. In order to save their lives, the people had to flee. They were living well. , I became homeless all of a sudden, and I don’t know when it will stop.”

Shen Yutong glanced at the refugees outside. There were twenty or thirty refugees in total. Most of them were women and children.In troubled times, it is common people who suffer.Looking at these poor people, he couldn't bear it, thinking that if there was a war, it would be unsafe outside, so he said to Cheng Da: "Go and ask the manager to bring some people, settle these people in, and get them some food."

Cheng Da ordered, Dian Dian ran to work.

The factory's rice and pasta reserves are enough for the remaining two or three hundred workers to eat for ten days and a half a month, and it is not a problem to take in dozens of refugees temporarily.

The refugees who were taken in were so grateful to him as the young master of the Shen family, they knelt on the ground and kowtowed to him.Shen Yutong felt that he couldn't bear this great gift, so he hurriedly asked someone to help them up, and he only hoped that this battle would end soon, no matter who wins or loses.

However, contrary to expectations, the flames of war did not fade away as soon as Shen Yutong had hoped. In the evening of this day, the sound of gunfire was getting closer and closer.Refugees at the gate also came one after another.Since a group had already been taken in in the morning, there was no reason to keep the latecomers out. By nightfall, more than a hundred refugees had been taken in in the factory.

There must be a lot of people. When eating at night, several refugees almost fought over a few steamed buns.Fortunately, Shen Yutong and Cheng Da led people to watch all the time, but seeing this situation, no matter how hearted he was, he didn't dare to let more people in. He only asked the kitchen to prepare food and water and distribute them through the big iron gate.

That night, he lay on the bed, listening to the occasional cannon fire, without closing his eyes for a moment.

After midnight, Cheng Da suddenly knocked on the door and said, "Second Young Master, Xiao Meng is here!"

"What?" He stood up abruptly from the bed, put on a coat and went down to the ground, opened the door, and stood beside Cheng Da at the door. The man in the dusty world was not Meng Liansheng, who else could it be?

Surprised and delighted, he grabbed the opponent's arm and said, "Why are you here?"

Meng Liansheng said: "I heard that there was a firefight in Fengxian, Songjiang, and I couldn't get through the phone. I'm afraid something will happen to you, so I'll come and have a look."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was another cannon fire in the distance. Shen Yutong regained consciousness immediately, pulled Meng Liansheng in, and ordered Cheng Da to look at the refugees, and then closed the door.

The electric circuit was damaged, there was no electric lighting in the house, and a kerosene lamp was lit on the table, the light was weak, and the shadow of the lamp was pupils.Meng Liansheng was probably thirsty, so he reached for the teapot on the table, poured a cup of tea, and drank it with his head raised.

Shen Yutong looked at him. He was wearing a brown leather jacket. The jacket looked new, but it was covered with a layer of dust. There were two fresh cuts on the shoulders. The trousers and riding boots were even more stained. Rolled in the pit, but the face is still clean, it should be wiped with the handkerchief before entering the house.

Heh, if you have the ability, change your clothes and come in again.

The author has something to say:

Ah, Xiaolong is coming back to Shanghai soon~

Xiao Meng: Bad luck!

I talked about the spiritual novel "After Calling the Wrong Soul" before, but after writing some, I found that there was a problem with the setting, so I went back and understood it before writing.Let's start with a simple and easy sweet article "Don't Pretend, I Know You Like Me". If you are interested, please bookmark it.

Double birth, Gong thought that Shou had been secretly in love with him for many years, and after being reborn, he made up his mind that the other party pursued him. In fact, Shou loved another person.

Copywriter:

At the class reunion five years after graduation, Song Huan and Cen Yue, the high-altitude flower who had hardly met in those years, had a good time after drinking, and accidentally discovered (mistakenly) discovered (will) that the other party had a secret love for him for many years.

Waking up the next day, Song Huan found that he was back in college.

Looking at the young Cen Yue's cold face, he smiled indifferently: Don't pretend, I know you like me.

And decided to give each other a chance.

When Cen Yue was young, his family was poor and his personality was withdrawn. He had a crush on the male god Su Han. He thought that the other party was a straight man and dared not confess his love, so he finally missed it.

Many years later, at a class reunion, I accidentally learned that the male god came out of the closet, and immediately got drunk, and spent the night with Song Huan, the arrogant and rich second generation who didn't like it in school.

Fortunately, he returned to nine years ago the next day.There is still time, this time he not only has to repay those scumbags back then, but also take the initiative to chase after the male god.

just why...

The gift he carefully prepared was taken away by Song Huan.

Song Huan intervened in the chance encounter he planned so hard.

The most frightening thing is that he finally decided to confess his love. Why did the person he made an appointment with become Song Huan?

The other party still had a proud face: Because you are so infatuated with me, I promise to be with you.

Cen Yue:? ? ? ?what are you saying?
