He thought that the young girl's family was interested in nothing more than these two things - net worth and appearance, so after he spoke, Yu did not agree with it, and said with a smile: "Whether the family background is good or not, whether the appearance is outstanding or not is secondary, the most important thing is good character and ability." If you just want to make a family appointment just for the sake of your family background and appearance, after getting married in the future, as time goes by, no matter how good your family background is, you can't stand the passage of time, and there will inevitably be contradictions between the two. ”

Tan Rulin couldn't help but listen to Taishui's words, so he nodded immediately and said that he was confused. Seeing that the two of them still have a lot to say, they excused themselves from the yamen to come out. As soon as he left, Zhongqing received a call from Bo Alcohol.

At that time, it had been three or four hours since they went out, and Zhong Qing was greatly surprised when he saw Bo Ol asking Wanchun if he had come back, and only said that he had gone out with him, and had not yet seen him come home. After hanging up the phone, she was still wondering where Wanchun had gone, but Yu had already understood that her little daughter was gone.

As Bo Yu thought, Yu also felt bad about her youngest daughter's absence and disappearance, she knew that the country was not peaceful now, and the bombing planned by the Japanese in the old Beijing caused the entire old capital to be panicked, and now there is nothing else to fear, I am afraid that it will be the person who will rise up again and rob Wanchun. If that were the case, there would be no salvation.

As a mother, she was more anxious than anyone else, so she just grabbed Zhongqing and asked her, "Did you say it clearly?" Is it really gone? Did she look carefully and look for her somewhere else? You go and ask your uncle, didn't you say that martial law is everywhere? How can you still lose a good living person in broad daylight? Could it be that the spies sent by the Japanese government were arrested? ”

Zhongqing made her mother anxious, and she could have sorted out a little thought. It's going to be a complete mess, and it's like a mess. She had to persuade Yu to sit down on the sofa and said, "Mom, don't panic first, the place where the eldest brother and they went is near the British and French concessions, the Japanese just want to cause trouble, and they have to take care of the British and French, they don't dare to come nonsense like this." ”

"Don't dare to come here, don't dare to come here, why is your sister disappearing without knowing anything?" Yu frowned, she was almost close to the age of knowing the destiny of heaven. After so many years of worry-free life, she has long become a standard upper-class lady, and she has always been moody. However, this time the news of Wanchun's disappearance was shocked, and suddenly the fine lines at the corners of her eyes and the wrinkles on her brows seemed to have been summoned, and now her face was brushed with the vicissitudes of life precipitated by the years and the inviolable awe.

Zhong Qing was speechless, knowing that her mother's temper was a little stronger than hers, and the more she was angry, the more she couldn't speak. Otherwise, it will only make her more angry. Because I thought that Wanchun had just arrived in Shanghai, and I was not familiar with the place, it was impossible to say who I had a grudge with, just unless

She pondered. Suddenly, he said to Yu: 'Mom, you sit at home for a while, and I'll go out.' Find someone to ask about the whereabouts of the fourth sister. ”

"Who are you going to?" Yu shouted behind her, "Is there any other way for you?" ”

Zhong Qing smiled lightly: "Mom." You also underestimate your daughter. ――I've been married for so many years, can I still make some friends? Rest assured. I'll go back as soon as I go, and I'll wait for my dad and my father-in-law to come back later, so you must calm down and tell dad that there is no letter yet, and tell him not to worry too much. ”

Yu nodded, and then waved his hand: "You go, come back early and let me know the news of your sister as soon as possible." ”

Zhong Qing walked to the door without looking back, Xiu'er and Cui Zhiyuan were standing at the top of the stairs, and both of them heard the call from Bo Ol, and they were very surprised to learn that Wanchun was missing from Zhong Qing's reply. Xiu'er hurriedly ran over and caught up with Zhong Qingdao: "Second Miss, are you going out to find Fourth Miss?" I'll go with you. ”

Zhong Qingzheng was going to Hongmen for Wanchun's business, and he didn't plan to take anyone with him, but when he heard Xiu'er say this, he scolded with a smile: "My little aunt, what can you do when you go?" A fourth sister is enough to worry me, don't make a mess, go back to accompany your wife, my fourth sister I promise to bring you back safely. ”

After speaking, he blinked to Cuizhi, and Cuizhi hurriedly pulled Xiu'er to persuade her: "Let's listen to the second miss, what is going on has not been figured out yet, what can you do if you are in a hurry?" ”

One of the two persuaded and the other stayed, but they didn't let Xiu'er follow.

Zhongqing walked into the courtyard, beckoned a messenger, and ordered the car to be prepared. As soon as he heard the message from the gatehouse, he ran back and said to Zhong Qing after a while: "The people over there said that Mrs. Your car told the uncle and the fourth lady in your house to drive away, and they haven't driven back yet." ”

"Drove away?" Zhong Qing locked his brows, and in a trance, he remembered that they were going out in their own car, which was too strange.

She didn't dare to say to her mother Yu that Tan Rumin was the deputy uncle of the eight halls in the first execution hall of Hongmen, and she, as Tan Rulin's wife, was also a member of Hongmen. Her car has always been a fixed one, as long as there are almost no people on the road who don't know her license plate number, Wanchun and they went out in her car, others are looking at her face, and they shouldn't let her have an accident.

Zhong Qing didn't have time to ask more, as soon as he raised his head, he said, "Then there are any other cars, whoever it is, ask him to drive over and take me to a place." ”

The messenger said: "The master's car has just driven to the yamen, and he hasn't come back yet, only a car to pick up the passengers is still there, does the wife want to sit?" ”

"Sit, get there." Zhong Qing urged two sentences, and ran over to ask someone to drive the car into the yard.

Zhong Qing got into the car, hurriedly gave a few words to the coachman, and went straight to the Hongmen headquarters.

In fact, as early as after Tan Rulin was promoted to the town guard, he was afraid of being entangled with Hongmen, so he hadn't returned to Hongmen to visit his brothers for a long time, and Hongmen had already regarded him as an outsider, welcoming him, and not bothering him if he didn't come. Therefore, Leng Buding saw Zhongqing, the wife of the town guard, in Hongmen, and the brothers of all sizes were puzzled.

The current mountain owner of Hongmen is Hua Wusheng, one of the three tycoons of Shanghai, who is in his fifties, and he is rarely in good spirits, and his kung fu is still very neat. Different from the extravagance of the Qing Gang, the Hongmen faction pays the most attention to the word 'light', believing that the friendship between gentlemen is as light as water, and there are thirty-six oaths to warn the brothers below. In connection with this, the headquarters of Hongmen is also very simple, but it is an ordinary horse race, with a large square and spacious courtyard, the roof goes up to the second floor, and there are cloisters on all sides. Hua Wusheng was learning kung fu with a little apprentice in the courtyard.

The surname Hua was not his original surname, because there was a folk saying of 'red flowers, green leaves and white lotus roots', and he changed his surname to the surname Hua in order to be able to better match the identity of the head. When Tan Rulin entered the master's sect, he should be his apprentice grandson according to his seniority, but because all the brothers in the Hongmen were already in charge, so this time Zhongqing came over, and when he saw Hua Wusheng, he just respectfully called his eldest brother.

Hua Wusheng was also very surprised to see her, stopped what he was doing, and smiled at her: "How can my brother and sister come over today?" Isn't Thou shalt not be with thee? ”

Zhong Qing said with a smile: "He has a lot of things, and he won't be able to come over for a while, so ask me to say hello to your eldest brother." ”

Hua Wusheng smiled and nodded his finger to the air, and said, "Maybe it's okay to be a little busy, but ask you to say hello to me?" I'm afraid it's a lie. ”

"My disciple, how dare you lie in front of your eldest brother?" Zhong Qing smiled slightly, seeing that Hua Wusheng was about to sit down, he hurriedly took a handful of white towels on the stone table in the courtyard, twisted a few handfuls in the wash basin on the side, handed them to Hua Wusheng's hand, and said, "It's really too busy, otherwise I will let him come over tomorrow and accompany my eldest brother to practice a few handfuls?" ”

"Hey—that's not necessary, not necessarily." Hua Wusheng took the towel and wiped it on his face, sat on the rattan chair next to the stone table, stretched his muscles twice, and then smiled, "Brother and sister, you also have nothing to do today, right?" Let's say, our family doesn't have to be so polite, what can the brothers help with? ”

He is an old man, his ability to see people is first-class, and his mind is also first-class and clever, regardless of the truth of Zhong Qing's words, just by virtue of their status in Shanghai now, as the wife of the town guard, Zhong Qing can also respectfully call him a big brother and hand him a towel, this sincerity to treat him as a guest is enough for him to help. Besides, in the world, who does not have a time when he is not satisfied, maybe one day in the future, he will have to go to the door to ask her, now to be kind to others, is to be good to himself, why not do it?

Zhong Qing had already typed the draft when he came, just waiting for Hua Wusheng's accurate words, and seeing that he was willing to help at this moment, he smiled unconsciously and said: "Don't hide it from the eldest brother, there is indeed something to trouble the eldest brother and his brothers." My fourth sister went out shopping with my eldest brother this morning, I don't want to be bizarre and disappear on the street, the family is in a hurry, and people are looking for it everywhere, I want to come to the eldest brother to ask, have you heard anyone who has seen a young lady on the street today? Almost seventeen or eighteen years old, very beautiful. ”

She suspected that it was the people on the road who saw that Wanchun was beautiful, and she was a newcomer, so she was afraid that she would be coaxed away by means to make a fortune. No matter who did it, there would be some rumors here in Hongmen, and she couldn't take this road.

"Seventeen or eighteen years old, you look beautiful? Hmm-" Hua Wuchang groaned, and slapped the towel on his hand twice, as if it were pumping in people's hearts. Zhong Qingning froze and only looked at his appearance.

Hua Wusheng thought about it, and finally called a brother and said, "You go out and ask, has anyone gone out to do the business of kidnapping tickets today?" If there is a young lady who is tied up, let him treat others well, I am afraid that our flood will wash away the Dragon King Temple - the family will not recognize the family. (To be continued.) )
