Chapter Twenty-Six: Engagement! (Fourth Update!) )
On November 5th, Shanghai Tang Grand Shanghai Cafe.
Gu Hongliang squinted at Tang Chaoyuan while drinking coffee, and Tang Chaoyuan leisurely smoked a cigar and also looked at Gu Hongliang.
Neither of them spoke, as if whoever spoke first would lose.
After a long while, Gu Hongliang still couldn't help but say, "Brother Tang, your temper is still like this, and you don't know how to change it when you are so old." ”
As soon as the words fell, Tang Chaoyuan glared and said, "You sent someone to ask me to come, if you don't speak, how do I know what is going on with you." ”
Gu Hongliang shook his head and said that he didn't want to delve into this issue with Tang Chaoyuan.
He took a sip of coffee and said: "You were the same when you forced Chen Qimei, the governor of the Shanghai Army, to drink tea and look at him without saying a word, and I was stunned to scold Chen Qimei and kill you." ”
Thinking of the past, Tang Chaoyuan also rarely laughed and said: "He's an old horseman, and he killed me?" In the end, it wasn't honest to get out of Shanghai. ”
Speaking of the Xinhai Revolution, when Shanghai changed banners, Gu Hongliang and Tang Chaoyuan were all brave people.
It's a pity that with the changes of time and the current situation, the revolutionary youth of that year also became traitors in the mouth of the country.
When it came to the past, the two were silent, and no one spoke for a long time.
Maybe the two of them can't imagine how the years have turned the two of them into this field.
After half a ring, it was Gu Hongliang who opened his mouth first, and he said in a somewhat low tone: "Don't mention the events of the year anymore, it's all in the past, how can China now be the same as what we thought when we participated in the Xinhai Revolution with enthusiasm, I came to you today to tell you about the current situation." ”
"Oh? What's up? It's so important that you come out to see me in person. Tang Chaoyuan scoffed.
Since Gu Hongliang became the chairman of the Shanghai Economic Committee, he rarely interacted with these old guys.
Although Tang Chaoyuan was also one of the committee members, Gu Hongliang mixed with the Japanese.
How could Gu Hongliang not hear the ridicule in and out of Tang Chaoyuan's words.
smiled awkwardly and said, "Chaoyuan, I won't talk about this between you and me, okay, what I want to tell you is a happy event!" ”
Tang Chaoyuan extinguished the cigar and asked, "Where does the joy come from?" ”
"Your third son, Tang Yi, is not married, and so is my family's Aqiao, the two children are so old, it's time to consider starting a family!" Gu Hongliang hinted at Tang Chaoyuan.
Who knew that Tang Chaoyuan pretended to be confused and said without understanding: "Yes, yes, it's not too small, it's time to find a good family." How? Do you want to ask me to introduce one to your family? ”
"I'm bah, you old thing, don't pretend to be confused, my Aqiao wants to have a degree of education, and she wants to look good, and I can't do without her dowry, how are you going? Still don't agree? Gu Hong stood up coaxedly and pointed at Tang Chaoyuan and said.
Tang Dynasty saw that Gu Hongliang was really angry, and hurriedly stepped forward to press him back to the chair and said: "How can I disagree, isn't it free love now, these two children are children who have gone abroad and seen the world, where are they willing to ask their parents to arrange marriage!" ”
Gu Hongliang laughed "haha" and said: "You old horseman has been tricked, your third boy and my family's Aqiao have long been eyebrows.... No, it's been glued together for a long time! ”
"And this?" Tang Chaoyuan said in surprise.
"You don't know, two days ago, the three boys of your family came to pick up my family Aqiao, and went to the investigation department Director Zhou's house to attend a family banquet together. Gu Hongliang stopped talking halfway through.
At this time, Tang Chaoyuan asked anxiously: "What do the people in the investigation department say?" What are you selling to me! ”
"The people in the reconnaissance department say that they are golden boys and girls! It's been together for a long time, everyone knows it. Gu Hongliang took a sip of coffee after speaking.
Tang Chaoyuan was stunned for a moment, and slowly spoke: "Then I won't object to the two of them." ”
Gu Hongliang smiled and said, "In my opinion, the two of us will get married first!" In case he and the two young people can't hold it, I can't stand it if one day suddenly there are multiple grandchildren. ”
After hearing this, Tang Chaoyuan actually laughed and said: "You think it's all the same as you back then, your father chased you two streets with a cane, who of us didn't know your heroic deeds." ”
Gu Hongliang waved his hand awkwardly and said, "I'll arrange the time and place, right?" Sooner rather than later, I'm really scared of the same as I was back then. ”
In fact, Gu Hong's conscience also has an abacus, this time he married the Tang family, the first point is that his baby daughter finally has someone to look at.
This second point is, of course, to see Tang Yi, the third elder of the Tang family, outstanding in his career.
The third is that with the current economy of Shanghai, if the Gu and Tang families join forces, the Japanese will have to retreat, and Gu Hongliang's political status will also increase.
And Tang Chaoyuan also has his own ideas, but he can't talk about them with anyone.
"It seems that if I want the third child to get engaged to the Gu family, I can't hide some things anymore." Tang Chaoyuan said in his heart.
Seeing that Tang Chaoyuan was silent, Gu Hongliang thought that Tang Chaoyuan had acquiesced to the fact that he would arrange the engagement matters.
He was overjoyed in his heart, afraid that Tang Chaoyuan would regret it, so he hurriedly stood up and said, "I'm going to hurry up, I'll go back and prepare, and by the way, tell my family Aqiao." ”
After speaking, he didn't wait for Tang Chaoyuan to reply, so he went out with his entourage and got into the car and left.
......
When Gu Junqiao arrived home, he saw his father sitting at the dinner table, and Gu Hongliang didn't move his chopsticks on the table of dishes, as if he was waiting for her.
Gu Junqiao walked over and looked at Gu Hongliang with a smile and said, "What? What is my father's happy event today? After speaking, he sat next to Gu Hongliang.
Gu Hongliang laughed happily and said, "That's right! Is it a happy event, or is it related to you! ”
"What's the happy event?" Gu Junqiao came to be interested.
"Dad, I've got you engaged to Tang Yi!" Gu Hongliang said happily.
"What ???"
Compared to the atmosphere of the Gu family, the Tang family is much quieter.
When Tang Yi returned home, Aunt Fan greeted him and said to Tang Yi: "Third young master, the master instructed you to go to the study to see him first after you come back." ”
"Okay, I know, trouble Aunt Fan." Tang Yi said.
"Young master is polite, I'll go down first."
As soon as he entered the study, Tang Yi obviously felt that the atmosphere was a little wrong, Zhou Mingrui looked at Tang Yi quietly and said, "Close the door tightly." ”
Tang Yi went to close the door and muttered, "This is good, what kind of mystery is there." ”
As soon as Tang Yi closed the door, he came to the opposite side of Tang Chaoyuan's desk, sat down with Erlang's legs crossed, and looked like he was waiting for you to sing something.
I saw that Tang Chaoyuan took a deep breath and said slowly to Tang Yi: "Hello, Comrade Feng"! ”
"What !!"
