Chapter 14 Typical Ugly Eight Monsters
What does it mean to have a narrow road? Wu Chaoyue and the beautiful girl are enemies, and the road is narrow! When they met for the first time on the dock before, Wu Chaoyue and the girl had already looked at each other unpleasantly, but neither party expected that the object of their forced blind date happened to be the other party! One is unwilling to marry a scoundrel, and the other loves face and does not want to lose face, so Wu Chaoyue's re-meeting with the girl is like a spark hitting a powder keg, and it explodes all at once!
It was also thanks to Liu Lichuan and the others who stopped them in time, otherwise the teacup next to the girl would definitely be smashed on Wu Chaoyue's face on the spot; Although Wu Chaoyue didn't have the habit of beating women, when he saw the girl pick up the teacup, he didn't hesitate to pick up the chair next to him, and Wu Jianzhang hurriedly stopped his baby grandson, scolding loudly, while killing a chicken and wiping his neck, he glanced at Wu Chaoyue, asking his grandson to calm down and give his right-hand man Liu Lichuan a little face.
It's easy to say, Wu Jianzhang and Liu Lichuan and others finally let Wu Chaoyue and the girl calm down, and then Liu Lichuan asked suspiciously about Wu Chaoyue and the girl's feud, Wu Chaoyue and the girl each introduced, each said their own reasons, and immediately began to sneer at each other, sarcastic and scolding, and then the grumpy girl had to clench her fists and get up, Wu Chaoyue refused to show weakness, and also jumped up with her fists, and finally the girl's father and Wu Jianzhang took care of their own children, Only then did he hold down Wu Chaoyue and the girl again.
finally understood what happened, and Wu Jianzhang and Liu Lichuan, who suddenly realized it, looked at each other and smiled bitterly, but also completely matched Wu Chaoyue and the girl's thoughts. But the girl still refused to give up, and said angrily: "Uncle Yuan, why didn't you make it clear whose home this is before?" I said that it was the home of this degrading disciple, and I didn't come, dirty my shoes! ”
"Wu Competition!" Wu Chaoyue also roared: "Send someone to invite a few monks and Taoists to recite scriptures to my family to dispel evil spirits!" Also, ask a few more people to prepare buckets, wash this flower hall three times, and smoke incense for another day! The day after tomorrow, I will ask Father Yang to read the Bible and help me exorcise evil spirits again! ”
Although it is an angry talk to fight for face, Wu Chaoyue's words are indeed too vicious for people in this era. Hearing this, not only was the girl so angry that she was smoking, but her father couldn't bear it, arched his hand to Liu Lichuan and said goodbye, and strode away with his daughter, Liu Lichuan hurriedly chased up to apologize for his nephew, Wu Jianzhang scolded loudly, and whispered to Wu Chaoyue complaining, "Little ancestor, can you control your mouth?" This Zhou Lichun's identity is not ordinary, and he is friends with your Uncle Yuan, so you can't give Uncle Yuan a little face? ”
"It's her who doesn't give us the Wu family face first." Wu Chaoyue distinguished, and complained in turn: "Grandpa, can't you choose a gentle and virtuous daughter-in-law for me?" Marry this kind of tigress into the door, do I want to have a good life in the future? ”
"The old man just wants to find you a powerful daughter-in-law who can control you in the future!"
Wu Jianzhang told the truth, and said sullenly: "But it doesn't seem to be possible, even if you are willing, people will definitely not be willing." ”
"Thank you, it's so spicy, I don't want to be a concubine." Wu Chaoyue rolled his eyes, then looked at Liu Lichuan and the others who had already left the courtyard, and asked Wu Jianzhang a little strangely: "Grandpa, didn't you say that Uncle Yuan's brother is just a land protector?" Why did you just say that his identity is not ordinary? ”
"That Zhou Lichun is not only a land protector, but also the leader of the Qingpu Tangwan Gang." Wu Jianzhang explained casually, and said: "The Tangwan Gang dominates the Qingpu Fishing Market, and there are many people, and the last time the Bird Party incident, you and Uncle Yuan originally planned to ask him for help, and let him bring the Tangwan Gang to help us." ”
"It's a gang again!" Wu Chaoyue snorted coldly, he didn't like that the comprador grandfather had too much contact with these too dynamic social organizations, and then snorted: "Fortunately, grandpa, you and Uncle Yuan didn't open this mouth, otherwise, it would be equivalent to luring the wolf into the house, what kind of bullshit Tangwan Gang, you will definitely take the opportunity to meddle in the Shanghai dock." ”
Wu Jianzhang was silent, in fact, Liu Lichuan had sent a messenger to the Tangwan Gang last time, and at the cost of allowing the Tangwan Gang to meddle in the Shanghai dock, he asked Zhou Lichun to agree to help, but because of Wu Chaoyue's sudden rise of the army, Liu Lichuan asked Zhou Lichun to temporarily stand still. And after Wu Chaoyue solved the matter by himself, Liu Lichuan was unwilling to let the Tangwan Gang divide the land to grab the deal, and he couldn't find an excuse to break his word, so he came up with the bad idea of giving Wu Chaoyue and his brother and daughter as a matchmaker, and planned to repay the brother with the good thing of marrying the children of the official family, and also took the opportunity to rely on the account of dividing the territory, so there is today's matter.
Unwilling to tell his baby grandson these dirty things, Wu Jianzhang waved his hand to end the matter and sent his grandson back to the room to rest. And after Wu Chaoyue also returned to the room, he vaguely had a little regret thought, and said secretly: "Actually, that little girl is really good-looking, she wants to have a face and a figure, if she can change her temper, it is not impossible to consider marrying her daughter-in-law." ”
Regret was useless, and after another night, at noon the next day, although those foreign priests did not come to harder Wu Chaoyue to go to the dock to help preach, but Wu Chaoyue, who couldn't find anything to do, was bored, so he still took Wu Dadao and other dogs to take the initiative to come to the dock to learn about the missionary situation of Father Yang to pass the time.
The situation on the docks made Wu Chaoyue very satisfied, almost all the dock workers had joined the ranks of memorizing the Bible, the foreign priests were busy teaching, and they got along very well with the dock workers, and the big and small gangs no longer interfered with the destruction, and all of them supported the foreign priests to spread the Bible to the dock workers under their control. Seeing this scene, Wu Chaoyue naturally had such a thought in his heart, and said secretly: "Isn't it time to encourage these foreign priests to set up a church school?" Under the banner of missionary service, let the foreigners pay and contribute to get these children of dock workers into schools, so that these poor children can receive some knowledge of arts and sciences? Well, that's a good thing, it's for the good of those poor people's children, and it should be done. ”
When he made up his mind and was thinking about how to encourage foreigners to provide free education to the children of the poor in China, Wu Dadao, who was a dog-legged man on the side, suddenly came up and said in a low voice: "Young Master Sun, look, that little girl yesterday!" ”
Looking in the direction pointed out by Wu Dadao, the beautiful girl who almost rolled the sheets legally with Wu Chaoyue really came to the dock, although she changed into an ordinary outfit, she still couldn't hide her moving appearance, and she was also pointing at the dock workers who were collectively reciting the Bible with her father and Liu Lichuan and others.
Seeing this scene, Wu Chaoyue didn't bother to pay attention to it, but unfortunately when Wu Chaoyue was about to turn around, the girl inadvertently turned her head, and happened to see Wu Chaoyue, her eyes collided, and the girl's beautiful eyes immediately spewed out a little angry spark, and then quickly twisted her head away.
It is destined to be involved, Wu Chaoyue wanted to go far, but unexpectedly, a foreign priest ran in front of Liu Lichuan and others, and he didn't know what to say, Liu Lichuan didn't understand, and the foreign priest couldn't express the meaning clearly in blunt Chinese. Then the foreign priest was overjoyed and immediately shouted hello, asking Wu Chaoyue to come over to help translate, Wu Chaoyue had no choice but to come over and be forced to get along with the girl who didn't match the eight characters.
The reason why Father Yang looked for Liu Lichuan was very simple, that is, a foreign merchant ship had to load goods in a hurry, but he couldn't find any idle stevedores for a while, so Father Yang volunteered to find Liu Lichuan, who was quite familiar with him, for help. And after Wu Beyond translated Father Yang's meaning into Chinese, Liu Lichuan immediately asked his subordinates to dispatch workers to give priority to loading the ship that was in a hurry, and Father Yang left with a thousand thanks, and hugged Wu Beyond affectionately when he left, constantly thanking.
Father Yang left happily, but Wu Chaoyue was very embarrassed to get along with the girl again, fortunately, the girl just kept a straight face and didn't speak, and didn't open her mouth to scold Wu Chaoyue for being a scoundrel like yesterday, and Liu Lichuan, who was not completely dead, was also quite proud to worship his brother Zhou Lichun and said: "Brother Lichun, do you see it?" Is my eldest nephew a great talent? Even my Uncle Shuang admitted that he spoke more fluently in foreign languages than my Uncle Shuang. ”
Zhou Lichun snorted and replied, and then took the opportunity to say: "Ah Yuan, it seems that you don't have enough manpower, and you have to borrow people from other ships to load and unload cargo, do you want me to help send you some people?" I don't dare to say more, 500 people and 600 people, I will say it. ”
Liu Lichuan's eyes flashed with a strange look, and he hahad: "Thank you, Brother Lichun, but don't bother, I just happen to have so many ships today, so I'm a little busy." When it was time to change to normal times, the workers under my brother and I often couldn't even receive work, and they complained twice for three days. ”
Zhou Lichun's face changed a little, and he immediately understood that Liu Lichuan was planning to break his word and didn't want his Tangwan gang to go to the golden nest of Shanghai Wharf to share the wealth. And in anger, Zhou Lichun just wanted to make the matter clear and directly ask Liu Lichuan when he would fulfill his promise last time, but another foreign priest suddenly came to Wu Chaoyue, gave Wu Chaoyue a bear hug without saying a word, and said in fluent Chinese: "Dear Wu, it's so good to see you, what's wrong?" I heard that you left the dock in a hurry yesterday afternoon, it seems that there is something urgent, what is the urgency? ”
Wu Yue took a closer look and recognized that the missionary was a Frenchman, with a Chinese name named Meng Zhensheng, and he was also one of the missionaries who went to Songjiang Mansion to file a complaint, so he replied with a smile: "Father Meng Zhensheng, I'm very sorry, something happened to my family yesterday, so I left the dock early." ”
"What's going on in your house?" Meng Zhensheng was a warm-hearted person, and immediately said: "If you need my help, just ask, I will do my best." ”
Wu Chaoyue smiled and thanked him and said that he didn't have to, but Meng Zhensheng broke the casserole pattern to the end, and he must ask what happened, Wu Chaoyue was forced to be helpless, so he could only tell the truth, and said: "Yesterday, my grandfather arranged a family affair for me and called me back to meet with the woman, and the servant in my family didn't make it clear at that time, so I also thought that something was urgent, so I hurried home." ”
"Wu, you're getting married?" Meng Zhensheng is also worthy of being French, and he is most interested in this kind of romantic thing, so he immediately asked: "Who is the woman?" Is it beautiful? ”
Speaking, Meng Zhensheng couldn't wait to pay attention to Zhou Lichun's daughter next to him, because Meng Zhensheng and Wu Beyond spoke Chinese, the girl understood the meaning, and saw the blonde Meng Zhensheng looking at him, and his pretty face was inevitably a little red. And Wu Chaoyue was afraid of making trouble again, so he hurriedly said: "Father, it's not her, and I'm not very satisfied with the woman, so my marriage hasn't been confirmed yet." ”
"It's better if it weren't for her, I was almost worried that you made the wrong choice." Meng Zhensheng spoke bluntly, and immediately said happily: "How can such an ordinary woman be worthy of such an outstanding and excellent Chinese as you Wu?" Wu, if you want to get married, I can introduce you to some beautiful Western girls, we Western girls are also full of curiosity about the mysterious China, and they must be very willing to know you. ”
The girl's face turned a little pale, she never expected that in the eyes of foreigners, she was not worthy of the thin and ugly Wu Chaoyue at all. Zhou Lichun and Liu Lichuan on the other side were also dumbfounded, and they also didn't expect Meng Zhensheng to say such a thing. Only Wu Chaoyue knew the truth, so he said with a smile: "Thank you, respected Father Meng Zhensheng, I will definitely ask you to introduce me if you have the opportunity." By the way, Mr. Priest, do you have something to do with me? ”
"I almost forgot." Meng Zhensheng slapped his forehead and hurriedly said, "Wu, I'm looking for you something, I don't know if you have time tomorrow?" I have a compatriot who would like to meet with you and talk carefully, I wonder if you would like to? ”
"Well, I'd love to meet more French friends."
Wu Chaoyue agreed, Meng Zhensheng was overjoyed when he heard it, and agreed to meet on the dock the next morning, and Meng Zhensheng took Wu Chaoyue to meet the Frenchman, and then Meng Zhensheng said goodbye and left. And Meng Zhensheng had just walked away, and the girl, whose face had always been very ugly, couldn't help but take a sip and scolded secretly, "Foreign devils, your eyes are blind!" ”
Seeing the girl's anger, Wu Chaoyue was uncomfortable, so he pulled Liu Lichuan and said, "Uncle Yuan, do you know why foreigners think your niece is ugly?" ”
"Why?" Liu Lichuan asked curiously, and the girl immediately pricked up her ears.
"Because the aesthetics of foreigners are completely different from ours." Wu Chaoyue finally couldn't help laughing and said: "The beauty in the eyes of foreigners is a high nose bridge, plump lips, and a tall chest and a thin waist, foreign women have slammed their waists since they were young in order to have a long and slender waist, and your niece has neither a high nose bridge, a small mouth, but not that ......, and the waist is not thin enough, so in the eyes of foreigners, it is a typical ......, a typical ugly monster." ”
Liu Lichuan laughed out loud when she heard this, but the girl's face completely turned iron blue - she was very confident in her appearance, but the more beautiful the woman, the more she cared about what others said about her appearance, and the girl who was considered an ugly girl by foreigners could barely bear it, but was called an ugly monster by Wu Chaoyue in front of her - of course the girl had the urge to hack Wu Chaoyue to death on the spot.
The girl's father, Zhou Lichun, snorted heavily, and Zhou Lichun pulled his daughter away again - and this time, Liu Lichuan not only did not blame Wu Chaoyue for speaking too directly, but also quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and said secretly: "Thank God, it's finally over, it's best to get out of Shanghai immediately, otherwise, take out my letter and force me to divide the territory, I really can't find a way to refuse." ”
Wu Chaoyue and Liu Lichuan were secretly happy here, but what Wu Chaoyue and Liu Lichuan didn't notice was that behind a tea stall not far away, Yuan Wuba, the former head of the Shanghai County government official team who had been dismissed, had been quietly paying attention to their situation. Seeing Zhou Lichun's father and daughter walking away angrily, Yuan Wuba was still very puzzled, and said secretly: "Zhou Lichun of the Tangwan Gang, isn't he a friend of Liu Ayuan?" Why do two people seem to be turning faces? ”
After blinking his triangular eyes and thinking for a moment, Yuan Wuba, who was carrying Yuan Zu's secret order, made up his mind, threw a copper to give tea money, and then quietly chased in the direction where Zhou Lichun's father and daughter left............
