Master of Pretenders

?After all, the Spring Festival in Paris cannot be compared with that in Shanghai. There is neither a theater with gongs and drums, nor a city god's temple full of people.Fortunately, it's still winter vacation, Ming Lou and Ah Cheng don't have much work to do, so they can spend more time with their eldest sister.Huqin failed to bring Paris, but there is an old-fashioned piano in the living room.Ming Jing turned on the piano and sat on the piano bench.Chopin's piano nocturnes flowed slowly from her fingertips.Minglou put down the coffee in his hand and looked at the eldest sister quietly.

Time flies to 20 years ago, and his sister sat on the piano bench and played the piano for him in the same way. He still remembers that her sister was wearing a lotus-colored dress that day, with two braids dancing behind her head to the music.The music that day was not so quiet, it was a mazurka.The young Minglou once danced to the beat in the living room, and his sister watched him laugh while playing, and finally put down the piano, and danced in the living room with her in her arms.The bright and happy girl and the innocent and lively boy disappeared in the blink of an eye.Minglou became sad, not daring to cry in front of his sister, he picked up the coffee and took a sip to cover up his inner confusion.

Mingtai suddenly ran over and sat on the piano bench, "Sister, change to a happier tune!" The familiar mazurka dance sounded again, and the siblings played with four hands in unison.Minglou didn't want to be sad about the past, stood up, took her sister's hand, and left the piano bench, and the two danced happily again in the living room.After one spin, Ah Cheng took over his sister's hand from his elder brother, and spun along with the music again.Mingjing laughed loudly, "You are exhausting me, I can't jump anymore." As soon as Mingjing sat back on the sofa, Minglou transformed a rose from behind her sister, "For Eldest Sister, I wish you better and better!" Young." Ming Jing rubbed the delicate flowers, half-annoyed, "As long as the three of you don't get angry with me, I won't grow old." Mingtai was surprised when he saw the big brother's tricks, "Brother, when did you learn magic, teach me quickly Give it to me!" Ah Cheng laughed at him, "Which girl do you want to coax?" Mingtai didn't show weakness, "Which one do you want to coax! Big brother must learn this kind of trick to coax girls!" Minglou laughed "That's right, it's the girl in front of me." As she said that, she pouted at the elder sister, and the elder sister patted them "one by two, the bigger the bigger the less regular."

After the new year is over, Ming Jing is anxious to go back to Shanghai, but Ming Tai is still clinging to his sister and doesn't want her to go.Ming Jing sighed, "Elder sister is also reluctant to part with you, there are still many things to deal with at home." Then he turned to Minglou, "I plan to transfer all the family's financial business to Hong Kong. It is inconvenient to relocate other businesses, so I can only take a step in Shanghai. Let's take a step." Minglou bowed, "For business matters, my sister's arrangements are naturally appropriate." Mingtai curled his lips, "Hong Kong is not a good place, why don't you move to Paris?" Minglou disdains, "You think Paris Is it a safe nest? I think the Germans are very ambitious.” Mingtai pushed forward. “The eldest sister said that politics is not allowed at home.” Minglou really shut up when the eldest sister was present.

Mingjing pretended not to hear the two brothers arguing, "Mingtai's study, you should arrange it earlier, it's not a problem for him to stay like this every day." Minglou agreed, "Yes, I have already arranged for Ah Cheng to contact him with a language school. I can go as soon as school starts. I am also worried that he will cause trouble at home." Mingtai is not convinced, "Brother, I don't want to go to a language school, I want to go directly to a higher education." Minglou glared at him, "Can you understand if you go to a higher education? Cheng has studied Western literature for a few months before going to school. Can your language level be compared with Ah Cheng?" Then he said, "Ah Cheng, you give Mingtai a set of French papers. If he can If I pass the test, I will contact him with the university, and if I fail, I will study the language obediently.” Ming Tai was immediately discouraged when he heard about the exam, “Brother Ah Cheng, take a rest, can I go to the language school?” Ming Jing greeted Mingtai sat down next to her, "I have to listen to my elder brother when it comes to studying. Don't be stubborn. If you don't study hard, your elder sister will not obey you." Send me the ruler, this place really doesn’t sell it.” Mingtai quit, “Sister, I want to go back to Shanghai with you. I have to work like a cow and a horse in this ghost place, and I have to be beaten. Don’t stay here.” Ming Jing nodded his head, “It’s up to you.” Ming Lou said, “You’re just being beaten here, Shanghai is fighting a war, you might get shot when you go back~” Before he finished speaking, he was slapped by the eldest sister.” What nonsense are you talking about?" Minglou knew that he had slipped his words, and hurriedly lowered his head, "Yes, what the elder sister taught me is that Minglou doesn't dare." Mingtai snorted and went upstairs triumphantly.

Minglou blushed and helped the eldest sister pack her luggage, Mingjing suddenly remembered something, "Oh, go out and buy me a new watch for women tomorrow." Minglou was puzzled, "Sister, do you want a new watch?" No, I promised Mrs. Zhou to help him bring a watch back when I came." "Mrs. Zhou?" "Ah, it's Zhou Fohai's wife, the eldest lady of the Yang family in Shanghai, Shuhui. You've seen her before." Minglou understood. "Didn't Mr. Zhou go to Chongqing? Didn't he bring his family?" "Oh, who knows what these politicians think. Back then, they begged thousands of people to marry, but now it's a good thing. His wife left in Shanghai, and he left by himself. Mr. Yang He is the leader of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry, and I have to follow his path to bring the industry to Hong Kong this time. Fortunately, I have a little boudoir friendship with Ms. Yang, and I have been in contact more recently." Minglou sighed secretly, the eldest sister is so Just because of his temper, for the sake of his family's business, he still talks to people in the mall, and he talks nonsense.I had to remind the elder sister, "The Wang family is also walking very close to Zhou Fohai, elder sister, be careful." Ming Jing frowned, "I know, just leave these dirty things alone." Minglou lowered his head, a tear rolled in his eyes, They are all people with a clear heart, who wants to wade in dirty water?The eldest sister took it upon herself, but only for their brothers to walk a bright and clean road. ?
