Chapter 16: The Feast of the Hung Gate (I)

Far away from the Wu family garden, I heard melodious music, and through a flower tree, I saw more than a dozen musicians in Western-style dresses with pigtails playing Western musical instruments, and an old butler in a big tuxedo was welcoming guests at the door.

"So many foreigners?" Kwong Haishan was a little surprised.

"Look, half of that foreign woman's breasts are exposed... Lu Kai's eyes were smiling.

Kuang Haishan glared at him and shook his head helplessly.

In front of the Western-style building is a garden, where more than a dozen Westerners are staggering, and groups of servants are pouring cigarettes, cigars, Dutch water, and whiskey.

Self-respect?

Chai Dongliang smiled coldly, shook his head and said to Lu Kai and Kuang Haishan: "You two are waiting outside, Master Gao, let's go in!" ”

Chai Dongliang didn't wear a military uniform today, let alone the eye-catching Nike sportswear, but learned from the Confucian students of this era, wearing a bamboo cloth green shirt, and swaggered in. Master Gao Ming laughed, holding a gift box in his hand, picking up the hem of his robe, and also breaking in with his hands behind his back.

The housekeeper is also well-informed, and when he looks at the three wisps of mouse whiskers with Gao Ming's surname, he can probably guess the identity of his master in Shaoxing, and the one who can let the master accompany him must be a dignitary. He saw that Chai Dongliang was dressed normally, but he was full of careless and chic energy, and he was followed by a master with a big score, of course he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly took a few steps forward to greet him.

"Greetings to the master, may I ask what the official of this master is called?" The housekeeper saw that Chai Dongliang and Gao Ming were dressed in long shirts, so he made a thousand, and practiced Chinese etiquette.

The old butler was dressed in a tuxedo, but with a gray braid, which was strange enough, and now he was even more funny. Chai Dongliang couldn't help but laugh and said with a smile: "Please tell your master, Chai Dongliang is here to worship!" ”

With that, he took out the gold-painted post from his sleeve and handed it over. The housekeeper took the post and was about to hand it over to the next person when he heard someone running down the stairs quickly.

"The arrival of adults in the house is really full of brilliance! My father has a leg disease and can't welcome him, please forgive me! Wu Jintang said respectfully.

Chai Dongliang smiled slightly: "Mr. Wu is a well-known industrialist in the country, and he has also heard of a big name for a long time, so Brother Yinfu doesn't have to be polite!" ”

Wu Jintang was originally uneasy, Chai Dongliang invited himself to the banquet, but he released the pigeon and fled halfway, for fear that Chai Dongliang would not come or would not give himself face when he came, and embarrass himself in public, but seeing Chai Dongliang speak humbly and politely, and call his cousin Yinfu in his mouth, his heart was slightly relaxed.

Walking into the house, there were already hundreds of people crowded inside, about half of Huayang, and the banquet was also a combination of Chinese and Western. Some of these Chinese were met by Chai Dongliang yesterday, and most of them were the leading figures of the Wuhu Chamber of Commerce.

When the Chinese businessmen saw Chai Dongliang, they came over to make a thousand moves, Chai Dongliang also bowed slightly, and the foreigners did not say anything about Chai Dongliang's arrival, just as he was air, and continued to enjoy the food with knives and forks, and some people sat on the sofa next to them, smoking cigarettes, cigars, and drinks provided by the host. Several servants wearing Western-style vests and dragging pigtails waited on the side, and when they saw that someone's wine glass was empty, they hurriedly filled the wine bottle carefully.

Wu Jintang arranged for Chai Dongliang and Master Gao to sit down, and then walked towards the inner hall.

Chai Dongliang had a smile on his face, but he was very unhappy with the Wu family's trick, looking for a group of foreign devils to scare Lao Tzu?

A servant brought a plate with foreign cigarettes, hookahs, and cigars, and asked respectfully, "My lord, what do you need?" ”

Chai Dongliang picked up a "Neil" cigarette made in the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and the servant playfully lit the paper medium to put together the fire for him. Chai Dongliang ignored him, took out the limited edition "zippo" lighter, lit the fire with a "click", and lit it himself.

The servant had never seen such a thing, and was startled, and squinted for a long time.

Gao Ming took a hookah and smoked it with his own "grunt".

The sound of musical instruments outside the house is getting more and more cheerful, and the foreigners outside have already hugged and danced together, while the Chinese merchants are whispering on the sidelines, watching this rare Western scenery.

A moment later, only the advisor was heard shouting in a long voice: "British Empire Elias. Sir Sassoon has arrived! ”

The crowd made a stir, the foreigners outside stopped dancing, and the women all lifted their dresses and squatted in salute. I saw a luxuriously decorated carriage coming, a coachman in a kilt, politely opened the door, a middle-aged man wearing an English high hat and a jeweled cane jumped down, first looked around, and then tilted his chin and walked in arrogantly.

After another moment, a carriage drove by, and the counselor dragged a long voice again: "** The consul in Nanjing, Lord Glenn, has arrived!" ”

This person is not as big as Sassoon, and he frequently takes off his hat to greet the lady who is holding a skirt to salute.

"The Great Empire, Baron Kuroda of Mitsui & Co., has arrived!"

Kuroda is a short man with a full face, and he has a smile on his face all the time, but the natural coldness in his eyes is very uncomfortable.

Kuroda wore a robe and a horse coat and a small melon skin hat, and if he didn't know his identity, he would think that he was a rich man in the Chinese countryside.

Hearing the name Mitsui & Co., Chai Dongliang's eyes narrowed into a needle. During the Sino-Japanese War and the Russo-Japanese War, Mitsui & Co. was almost a semi-open secret agency, and the Russian Baltic Fleet, which was annihilated by the Combined Fleet, was discovered by a Norwegian merchant ship hired by Mitsui & Co.

Kuroda's dress, Chai Dongliang is not surprised, the Anti-Japanese War in his memory, the Chinese experts of the Kwantung Army who wantonly provoked the 918 Incident, are almost all dressed as local rich people in the rural areas of Northeast China. From this dress, Chai Dongliang judged that Kuroda should be a member of radical organizations such as the Asian Winter Society, Tianyouxia, and Xuanyangsha.

Since the First Sino-Japanese War, there has been a strange phenomenon between China and China: the more they understand China, the more they love Chinese culture, the more ambitious and hostile they are to China!

And those Chinese students studying in Britain and the United States are also very strange, they all fall in love with Britain and the United States, and respect Britain and the United States to the point of obsession, while those who study abroad almost without exception hate it.

"See, people have set up a Hongmen banquet!" Gao Ming looked at the Oriental and Western people and sneered.

Chai Dongliang is a little excited, Wu Xingzhou, the head of the Wu family in Wuhu, seems to be also famous, relying on a few foreign devils to support him on the scene, this trick is of course no problem to scare the officials of the Manchu Dynasty, but it is useless for himself...

After Kuroda entered the door, he walked through the crowd, saw the table where Chai Dongliang was sitting, walked straight over, respectfully called a thousand, and then introduced himself: "Contemptible Kuroda Saburo, the person in charge of Mitsui & Co. in Wuhu, is really fortunate to be able to meet Chai Tuanren... I like China very much, I like Chinese culture more, and I admire the revolutionary feat of the adults who are committed to overthrowing the barbaric rule of Manchuria, and I hope I can be fortunate to be a friend of adults!" ”

Chai Dongliang held a cigarette in his mouth, crossed Erlang's legs, and said with an arrogant smile: "Friend? We're not that acquainted yet, are we? ”

"Perhaps, the adults will need our help? Isn't your lord Mr. Sun's envoy? Then you should know Miyazaki Inzo and Hirayama Zhou, right? They are all ourselves, but they are all sworn to follow Mr. Sun's revolution to the death, and they are all brave men who are willing to throw their heads and shed their blood for the liberation of China and Asia! There are many such strong men who are willing to understand China and help China! Kuroda's smile was very humble, but there was an indescribable feeling in his eyes, which made Chai Dongliang very uncomfortable.

"I don't know much about it, and the only thing I'm interested in is the woman!" Chai Dongliang said lightly.

Kuroda's face suddenly turned iron-blue, but it was changed to a smile in an instant: "I can't imagine that adults can favor the women of the contempt state, and change it to the contemptible people to sweep the courtyard, prepare thin wine and singing and dancing, and ask the adults to taste the customs of the contempt state!" ”

Chai Dongliang sneered: "The baron's kindness is appreciated in my heart, but the woman who is contemptible is not in the mansion of Lord Baron... Master Gao, this room is too turbid, how about going out to breathe?" ”

Ozawa, Hatano, Aoi, and the people's artist Iijima, who lives forever in the hard drive, Lao Tzu likes them all, do you have them? Chai Dong said brightly!

Anyway, it doesn't matter if Kuroda still has something to say, he walked out with his hands behind his back flutteringly, leaving only Saburo Kuroda with angry eyes and green eyes!

Gao Ming followed out and couldn't help laughing: "Dong Weng, you can't do it, the city is not deep enough... ”

Chai Dongliang touched the short hair on his head, looked at the cold moon in the sky, and said leisurely: "Old master, this play has just started!" The protagonist hasn't played yet! ”
