Chapter 169: Chronicles of the Red Pavilion

At this time, Fluttershy and Yunyun are in the lobby of the front hall, flowers, wine, lights, and musical instruments...... These things from foreign countries whitewashed this place very elegantly, and after a casual walk around Yunyun, she found a Western-style pastry on the table, and the people around her did not touch it, "I wonder if I can eat it?" Yun Yun was puzzled, she was indeed a little hungry, so she picked up the fork next to her and picked a piece, which melted in her mouth, sweet and greasy, and quite delicious.

"These things are all here to see, what are you eating them for?" Fluttershy nudges her and looks at her quizzically.

"What's the use of looking good, it's better to eat it to fight hunger," Yun Yun forked a piece to Fluttershy's mouth, saying, "Sister will eat a piece too." ”

Fluttershy shakes her head to dodge and sees a tall alien approaching, "Someone's coming!" She hurriedly reminded.

Yun Yun saw that he was a typical Englishman - tall with yellow hair, a straight nose, and blue eyes.

Yun Yun used the flower next to her to block the pastry that was half eaten by herself, pursed her mouth, and turned sideways to face the British man who was slowly walking.

"You ...... Is it Chinese? The man asked in English.

Fluttershy doesn't understand English, and Yun Yun turns her head to see a little contempt and disgust in the man's eyes, and she gets angry and says, "Yes! ”

It was supposed to be open to everyone, but it was the home of the British, and some of them looked down on the Chinese.

"Oh - don't get me wrong, I don't mean anything else, it's just that the pastries here are never eaten."

Yun Yun thought to herself that this is really hypocritical, since you can't eat it, why bother putting it up, just to decorate this place? These people are simply robbers, earning Chinese money, occupying Chinese land, building a house, thinking that this is his territory, looking down on the people who belong to this place, shameless! scolding in my heart, thinking of Chen Rundong, he is poor and simple, straightforward and not hypocritical, thinking like this, I feel that this place has lost all its superficial brilliance, and the inside is dark and dirty!

"Sister, I want to go back." Yun Yun turned her head and said.

"What's wrong?"

"These foreigners are hateful." She pulls Fluttershy away.

This foreigner came to make amends, Yun Yun ignored him, and walked away quickly, and the British sighed behind his back: "Beautiful, but stingy and impolite Chinese girl!" ”

The two walked all the way and saw a man pestering Katoriko on the corridor railing on the second floor, so they went up to look.

Recently, Nozomi Aso has shown more love for Katoriko, and every time she sees it, she is entangled, so Katoriko hasn't been here for a long time, but this person has sent someone to follow her home, Katoriko is extremely annoyed, and comes to make a decision with him tonight.

"It's come to this, I won't hide it from you, I have a fiancΓ©." Katoriko said.

"Who?" Nozomi Aso asked.

"I'm telling you, do you want to send your men with guns to threaten people?"

"I won't threaten him this time, if you say it, I want to see how I compare with him, it's not as good as him!"

Katoriko was almost speechless, frowned and said, "You don't understand at all!" You are the son of a foreign minister, rich and powerful, this is your good, although my fiancΓ© may not have the advantage of being as rich as you, but he naturally has his advantages, how can you compare? Besides, I don't like your money and your power, so I won't choose you because of that. ”

Nozomi Aso was so angry that he slammed the railing, thinking to himself how could there be someone in this world who didn't like money and power! When he sighed, he saw a familiar face - it was Zhuang Yuncheng downstairs.

"Is it him?" Nozomi Aso asked, pointing at him.

"It's not!" Katoriko slapped Aso's hand and said indignantly: "If you dare to threaten people again, I-I will be a stranger to you in the future!" ”

Aso looked back with a sad brow, thinking that Katoriko's words just now seemed to have another meaning, so he asked, "Don't you hate me so much now?" ”

Katoriko glanced at him and said, "You're not bad, I can't hate you, otherwise I would have cleaned you up a long time ago." ”

Nozomi Aso thinks she's even more cute, except for her parents, no one in this world dares to say that she can clean herself up.

"Is it still possible between us?"

"Absolutely not!" Katoriko said, "And you are not allowed to hurt my friend, or I will spare my life and not let you go, don't look at me as a girl, I have the ability." ”

Although Aso Nozomi was lost, he was not so lost, after all, he had no love in his heart, and the appearance of a person like Katoriko next to him also made him feel that life was interesting, and he immediately smiled: "No, no, no." ”

Yun Yun and Fluttershy watched from the side, and Katoriko caught a glimpse of it, smiled at them, and said to Nozomi Aso, "My friend is here, you can go." ”

Nozomi Aso glanced over there, turned around and said, "Then don't hide from me, I just hope that I can see you every other time and be satisfied." ”

"Okay, okay, you can go."

Aso walks away, and Fluttershy comes over, looks at Aso's back, and asks, "Who is he?" ”

"A man who has been pestering me for a long time."

"Such a person should have taught him a lesson a long time ago."

"There's no need, he's only one year older than Yunyun, and he's just a kid in my eyes, he doesn't understand anything, I can handle it." Katoriko said, "I just saw Yun Cheng, he was strolling downstairs, why aren't you together?" ”

Yun Yun leaned on the railing and looked down, the person was gone:

"He should be looking for us, too." Yun Yun asked, "Sister Yuyu, when are you going home?" We're going too. ”

"I'm going back, too." Katoriko said.

The three of them went downstairs together, found Zhuang Yuncheng, and went home separately.

On the way, the night was bleak and clear, and Katoriko was still accompanied by Takeshi Fujitawara, who was worried that Takeshi Fujitahara would tell Eikurasuke about Nozomi Aso, which would only cause more trouble, so she turned her head and ordered: "Fujita, do you have any ideas?" ”

"What do I think?" Fujitawara Takeshi lowered his head slightly and asked suspiciously.

"Don't play dumb, your eyes are always on me, I told you to pay attention to that person, you don't know he's been harassing me lately?"

"Oh, yes."

"If you know, don't tell anyone, especially Eikurasuke." Katoriko said, "He's too ruthless, I'm afraid that he will cause a big deal because of such a small matter." ”

"Hmm." Takeshi Fujitawara nodded and asked again, "If Mr. Kitawa asks about your recent situation, should I say it?" ”

He ...... Feel free, he knows me, and he won't do anything about it. ”

"Oh."

Katoriko looked up at him, feeling that Takeshi Fujitawara was becoming more and more like a friend and confidant than a person who watched over him, so she felt more at ease.

In the evening, in the study

Zhuang Yuncheng always felt that something was haunting his heart, and when he saw the book of "Linxian Notes" on the table, he was relieved, and promised to complete the ending part of the book for Old Man Qu and pass it on to the world.

Zhuang Yuncheng wrote a few sentences, only felt that his writing was clumsy, and the old man's original text was simply like mud, so he had no intention of continuing to write, but this note was written by the old man Qu about his own life, his life was over, this book should have an ending, Zhuang Yuncheng had to write it hard, but he thought that even if this book was handed down, I am afraid that the treatment of this content he continued should be the same as the treatment received by the continuation of "Dream of Red Mansions" - not accepted, at this time he scolded himself shamelessly in his heart, even if the continuation of the book is not good, is also better than his own, how can he still have a face to compare with him.

He wrote and wrote, he was inspired, wrote until midnight, yawned, and wanted to sleep, but if he didn't finish writing at this time, he would write worse in the future, and there wasn't much left, he only needed to write from the last time they met, and it was over after he was buried, and it was only a few thousand words in total, and he stepped up his writing, and finally finished writing until one o'clock in the morning, and thought that people like this should have a preface throughout the scene, so he imitated the writing of the ancients and made a preface:

"Qu Tianlin, the word Pingjing, the number Linxian Jushi, Kyoto people. There are famous virtues in the world, few ambitions, and I am willing to promise myself to the country. When Pingjing was young, his father died in battle, Jing was dripping blood Mingzhi, Wen was more and more attacking poetry and books, and Wu was forging his physique. In the seventeenth year, he raised a military service, but he was exiled from Beijing, although he did not say anything, the more bitter he was, the more courageous, and then he worshiped the captain of the horse, joined the military, and moved to Fujianβ€”β€”"

Zhuang Yuncheng wrote, feeling that he was really not good, this ancient text was really difficult to write, so he thought that it would be better to ask Zhang Yanxi to write, he was Qu Tianlin's son-in-law, and he was talented, the most suitable! Zhuang Yuncheng breathed a sigh of relief, tore the paper to shreds, and burned it to ashes, he was worried that Yun Yun might write better than himself, and if she saw it, she would definitely laugh at herself.

The next day, after Fluttershy washes up, she meets Zhuang Yuncheng and asks, "Yunyun was there when I went home yesterday, so I didn't have a good time asking you, what did the Nantian regime say to you?" ”

"It's just asking me why I want to reduce the working hours of the workers and increase the pay instead."

"What do you say?"

"I made up a reason, saying that it was to accumulate manpower, and after the workers were controlled, I would increase the working hours and reduce the salary."

"He believed?"

"I believe it, but it behaves strangely, but it seems to agree," Zhuang Yuncheng said, "In this case, we have completely embarked on a dangerous road, and this factory will go bankrupt at any time." ”

"There is no need to be so pessimistic, we have done the opposite, and we have known the consequences."

"Yes, from now on, step up the training of some technicians, as well as raw materials, equipment, we can't rely too much on Japan, they may terminate the cooperation at any time, we need to have our own technicians, to find some other raw materials and equipment merchants who can cooperate with us."

"It's better to be Chinese as well, so that you won't be threatened and controlled by foreigners."

"Well, although the quality may not be as good as that made by the Japanese, at least there is no need to ask them in a low voice." Zhuang Yuncheng said.

Fluttershy nodded.

Zhuang Yuncheng noticed that Fluttershy's hair was still fluffy, and he must not have been seriously combed yet, so he casually helped her comb it with his hands, while looking at her black and shiny hair, and felt that this hair was really like three thousand troubles. When he caught a glimpse of her face, he was relieved again.
