434 Famous Shanghai Four Less (5)

The sky thundered and thundered, and the "Four Youths in Shanghai" was like a set of high-quality stamps, and they all showed off a handful of savings in front of Zhang Meixi.

Young Master Tang naturally had the same illustrious family background, his father was a famous politician, and he began to have a remarkable resume in the late Qing Dynasty, first serving as the chief tax officer in Tianjin, which was a concession, and was sent to Korea as an ambassador to North Korea because of his outstanding diplomatic talents.

Later, he was conscripted back to China by the imperial court, participated in the conclusion of a series of foreign agreements, Lhasa and Indo-Tibet, and a series of treaties on the borders of neighboring countries were signed by his staff, and the official official titles were Fengtian Governor, Governor of Liangguang, and Minister of Mail and Shipping.

After the fall of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Tang's father immediately defected to the new democratic government, or rather, became a prime minister, and when Emperor Yuan came to power, he also telegraphed the whole country to express his support, and when Emperor Yuan stepped down, he also sent a telegram to the whole country to crusade.

Trusted by the late founding president of the Republic of China, he served as the main force in the Dharma Protection Movement, and served as the representative of the South during the North-South peace talks.

With Tang's father's huge social prestige, Young Master Tang also occupies a place in the "Four Young Masters in Shanghai", which is worthy of decades of diplomatic genes in the family.

Zhang Meixi made a very small curtsy:

"Young Master Tang."

Then he kept silent, and played a very vivid and vivid appearance of a taciturn lady. However, Young Master Tang naturally didn't intend to let her go, so he got as close as possible within a rude distance, and lowered his head to stare at this slender little girl.

"Miss Chang, it's a blessing."

The gas coming out of his mouth was mixed with the smell of Colgate's toothpaste, which was cool and refreshing. It is enough to dazzle all the ladies and ladies in the Republic of China era. But it does not include Zhang Meixi.

Zhang Meixi took a step back with a look of Mu Na and grabbed Wan Xian'er's arm beside her, which in the eyes of outsiders, is a subconscious action made because of shyness, which is understandable, but it does not meet the world's requirements for everyone's beauty and generosity.

Young Master Tang gave up his hand again:

"This one, with all due respect, is it Miswan?"

It is worthy of the blood of a diplomat, and he can greet many people at the same time, covering all aspects.

"It's Miswan."

Miss Sun Qi on the side interjected and said that she had obviously supplemented Wan Xian'er's information, so she was also kind and caring for this well-known Ping An teacher.

Wan Xian'er had no choice but to stretch out a hand, and said hello with her palm outward:

"Okay."

Young Master Tang obviously intended to play an important role as a commentator, and he immediately asked:

"Do the ladies like Chinese painting or oil painting? The contemptible person must recommend himself and act as an escort to protect the flowers. ”

The name of the Ningbo Association Art Exhibition is so low-key, but in essence, it is a second-generation show-off and treasure conference of the second generation of the family, and for thousands of years in China, each generation of the young ladies and sons of the family will tout each other's painting ability and art appreciation ability.

At the beginning, this exhibition was held in the Ningbo Guild Hall, hence the name, and later changed to "Tongle Ju" donated by a big man.

Tongleju is a garden villa, taken from the old saying "benevolent people enjoy the mountains and wise people enjoy the water", and by extension, benevolent and wise people come together to enjoy the fun of ink landscape (calligraphy and painting).

The exhibition is divided into two parts, one part is the paintings of the best in the art world to show off their talents. The other part is the art and painting treasures and antiques of the past dynasties, and the collector takes them out for everyone to appreciate together. To put it bluntly, it is to show off wealth and treasure.

"We also made an appointment with friends."

Zhang Meixi immediately replied that it seems that Wan Xian'er's idea is still somewhat useful, as long as she meets with the two young masters of the Wang family later, she doesn't have to spend too much time socializing with these "four young people in Shanghai".

In Zhang Meixi's field of vision, the young master of the Sheng family was walking quickly to this side, his face was delicate and charming, his suit was very decent, and he was stepping on black rubber shoes, the football captain was very energetic, Shao Gongzi had already looked over here, he was wearing a slightly thick blazer, and he held his round thick eyes with his hand, this poet was probably not in good health, and he always had chills.

As for the young master of the Sun family, he has always stood behind his aunt in the small hall, Miss Sun Qi, wearing a military uniform and a posture like a pine.

The young master of the Tang family was thick-skinned enough, and he immediately answered:

"Your friend must be a contemporary Junyan, I don't know if Tang has the honor to meet."

Wan Xian'er refused without grace:

"It's not very convenient."

These words are simply absolute, Zhang Meixi really wants to give her a thumbs up.

However, don't underestimate the blood of a diplomat, the smile on Young Master Tang's face has not changed at all, he said:

"I'm familiar with this place, let's send a few young ladies over."

This seems to be a step back, and they don't ask to know their friends anymore, but to send them over, they have to continue to rely on them for a while.

Zhang Meixi did not refuse:

"Thank you very much."

She curtsied at Miss Sun Qi:

"Unaccompanied."

Turn and walk to a nondescript corner, where a row of bamboo benches rests. Because of the word from the middleman, he met with Second Young Master Wang at the art exhibition, but he did not clearly state the location. Although the scale of this art exhibition is so large, it should not be difficult for Second Young Master Wang.

Zhang Meixi and his party only need to find a place to wait. When they got to the corner, the young master and Apricot wiped the stool together, took out a thermos and a few teacups from the back basket, and poured out hot water. A couple of small porcelain plates with finger-sized snacks. I haven't seen a single picture at the exhibition, but I actually started a refreshment party.

This attitude of hiding in the corner and being lonely and happy didn't work, Miss Sun Qi didn't follow her despite Zhang Meixi's farewell, and in less than three minutes, the "Shanghai Four Youths" also followed her.

Apricot only brought four teacups, and one of the young master on Wednesday was missing, and as a result, so many "friends of the eldest lady" came over at once. I'm thinking about how to entertain there.

Those "Shanghai four less" errand attendants have also come around, pour water to wash tea, put fruit saucers, the rich second generation will fight treasure to show off their wealth wherever they go, with Zhang Meixi as the center, a small tea party was held warmly and grandly.

The two young ladies in the fourth room of the Huang family and their friend Miss Song saw their cousin there, and they also came over with confidence. As for the other young masters and young ladies who lacked self-confidence, they just watched from afar and did not come.

This tea party is a small circle of the second generation of Shanghai's top magnates, Zhang Meixi has upgraded by leaps and bounds with the title of "the daughter of Dean Zhang's family" and has become a top celebrity in Shanghai who can drink tea and talk about the "four young people in Shanghai".
