Zhuang Sheng spent a month sleepwalking in a busy and chaotic situation, and he turned a deaf ear to the outside world because he was busy with family matters.

One day, Yan Weiwen came over.

"Who is the emperor now?" Zhuang Sheng asked.

"Now it's not called the emperor, it's called the president, Yuan Shikai was elected as the interim president."

Zhuang Sheng smiled ashamedly and asked again, "Are your Yan family still serving the new imperial court?" ”

"Brother Zhuang, now there is no imperial court, only the government," Yan Weiwen said, "The new government has its own new officials, and it is difficult for us old people to win a place in the officialdom." ”

"I see, I'm so lonely and short-sighted."

"You don't have to say that, people have their own aspirations, you don't seek fame, you are tired of officialdom, it is rare in this troubled world, who doesn't want to work hard to climb up, just want to be powerful and powerful, and live a better life."

Zhuang Sheng sighed and bowed his head silently.

"By the way, how is Miss Yun'er doing?"

"It's fine."

"My father took it upon himself to divorce me, I didn't know about it before, and now—"

Zhuang Sheng shook his head, feeling bored, his father was gone, and he couldn't do happy events in the past two years.

Yan Weiwen also knew that ** had just passed away and couldn't do a happy event, so he didn't ask deeply, and after a while, he asked again: "What are you going to do next?" ”

"I don't know."

"With your background, why don't you go into the regime?"

"It's still difficult for the new dynasty to use the old ministers, and besides, it's the new government or something, I don't know anything about it, what can I do?"

"Although it is said that the new government rejects the old members, but the famous and capable can still take the position, Brother Zhuang will not try?"

Zhuang Sheng smiled bitterly: "The Qing Dynasty is dead, my father is also dead, I am worthless, worthless...... I don't want to do anything, I don't want to stay here anymore, I want to get away from here. ”

"Get away from here...... So where do you want to go? ”

"There is a lot of war in the country, the situation is turbulent, there is no place to tolerate, Yun Yun has been to the United Kingdom, and it is interesting to listen to her." Zhuang Sheng smiled slightly.

"There are a lot of new gadgets for foreigners, and it's really interesting, but it's too far, so it's better to go to Japan and take a boat to a coastal city to get there quickly."

Zhuang Sheng's eyes lit up, he thought for a while, and said resolutely: "Okay, *** Ben." ”

"Do you want to come back?"

"Of course," Zhuang Sheng said, looking around the mansion, "I can't forget my home, and I'll be back in a year or two." ”

Yan Weiwen thought that he could wait for a year or two, so he said, "I'll wait for you to come back, and I'll wait for Yun'er to come back." ”

Zhuang Sheng understood what he meant, "Okay, then you, take care." He said.

Yan Weiwen nodded.

In early spring, Zhuang Sheng, Yun Yun, and Fluttershy take a train to Shanghai, then buy a ferry ticket and travel east to Japan.

Zhuang Die recovered quickly, and her bones soon became no different from ordinary people, and her learning ability was much higher than that of ordinary people, only one month, which was worthy of a few years of knowledge from others.

There were many people at the ferry, and the three of them only carried two small wooden boxes, which contained some daily necessities, clothes, money, etc., and when they got on the boat, pushing and shoving was particularly uncomfortable.

A whistle is heard, the ferry starts slowly, and the sun rises in the east, and they squint at the redness of the east, and the soft sunlight shines on Yunyun and Fluttershy's faces, making their faces look red.

"Big brother." Fluttershy exclaims, looking unusual.

"What's wrong?"

"Someone in the crowd touched me just now."

"Huh?" Zhuang Sheng was taken aback.

"These men are rascals!" Yun Yun hurriedly asked, "Where did you touch you?" ”

"Here." Fluttershy points with a sad look on her face.

Zhuang Sheng said solemnly: "Fluttershy, you remember, no man can touch you, otherwise he will be taught a lesson, and Yun Yun, you are the same, you know?" ”

"Got it."

"Especially in Japan, we don't know each other well, so we have to be careful." Zhuang Sheng said.

"Well, but how do you teach those scoundrels a lesson?" Yun Yun asked, "How can my sister and I fight?" ”

"Isn't a woman the best at slapping, scare him, and he won't dare."

"So how?" Zhuang Die asked.

"I don't know?" Zhuang Sheng said, "Yunyun, hit me and show it to your sister." ”

"I've never hit you." Yun Yun thought, "When have you offended me?" Then she took a small step back and raised her hand to brush his face lightly.

Zhuang Sheng smiled, "Sure enough, it's my own sister, Fluttershy, do you see, that's it, but with force." ”

"Understood." Zhuang Die swore and said.

Zhuang Sheng and the three of them were chatting, and a handsome man on the right side walked out of the cabin slowly.

"Hello sir, we... Have you ever seen it? He asked.

Zhuang Sheng looked at him, indeed déjà vu.

"You're the young master of the Zhuang Mansion, right?"

"He actually knows me, and I see that he is also familiar, why can't I remember?" Zhuang Sheng frowned and thought, and replied again, "My surname is Zhuang, but I am not a young master." ”

Yun Yun leaned over and whispered a few words in Zhuang Sheng's ear, Zhuang Sheng thought about it, and suddenly realized: "I remember, you are surnamed Su." ”

"Su Beicheng."

"yes, I remember, we must have met two months ago." Zhuang Sheng asked, "Are you going to Japan too?" ”

"Yes," Su Beicheng asked again, "You only have two brothers and sisters together?" ”

"And her." Zhuang Sheng pointed at Zhuang Die.

Su Beicheng looked over and felt surprised, he had never seen such a cold woman, and the indifference in his eyes made people stay away.

"This is also my sister, Zhuang Die," Zhuang Sheng said, "this ...... Yunyun, you know each other too. ”

Su Beicheng nodded at Yunyun, thinking that the three brothers and sisters were leaving, presumably ** was no longer there, so he didn't say anything about it, so he asked, "Why did you go to Japan?" ”

"What can you do, go abroad and see it." Zhuang Sheng asked, "What about you?" ”

"Study."

"Studying in Japan?"

"Yes, I studied in Japan a long time ago, studying political economy, because I have a relationship with my teacher Zhao Cheng, I was ordered by him to return to China, at that time the Qing court was imitating the Japanese constitutional monarchy, and the teacher was also involved, I came back to the teacher's door, I thought I could make some contributions to the court with the teacher, but now the Qing court is dead, the teacher is naturally defeated, I am an unknown person, what can I do, I will return to Japan to study, take a step at a time."

"Oh." Zhuang Sheng nodded in approval, admiring and envying these ambitious people in his heart, thinking that he didn't learn and didn't know how to do it before, not only did he achieve nothing, but he also looked down on these people, and now he thinks that he was wrong.

"Where are you three siblings going? I'm more familiar with Japan than you, so it's better to travel with you and take care of it. ”

"I was going to make plans when I arrived, but if you want to go with us, we can't ask for it." Zhuang Sheng said. "Besides, our brother and sister don't know Japanese, so we have to bother you with everything."

"It's a great honor." Su Beicheng said, "I have a good friend in Japan, deep feelings, his home is not far from the ferry, after arriving to go to his house to stay for a few days, he also studied history, Chinese customs, historical features are particularly curious, Brother Zhuang and he must also get along." ”

"That's for the best." Zhuang Sheng said with a smile.

The two of them talked happily, and Yun Yun also looked at her with a smile, but only Fluttershy, as if she had a grudge against Su Beicheng, ignored her indifferently, and Su Beicheng didn't dare to look at her more, feeling very puzzled.
