Chapter 026: The Ye Family in Hankou (3)
The black-clothed young man sitting next to him hurriedly got up, hugged the white-clothed young man who was angry, and then nodded slightly apologetically at Wang Zhenyu.
Wang Zhenyu naturally didn't care, since he had tasted the taste of Western food and had important things to do, he didn't stop staying longer.
He no longer bothered the ignorant little brat, but made a gesture and called the waiter.
"How much is it? Including these two turtles. "Wang Zhenyu paid the bill and didn't forget to be angry.
The waiter said the price, Wang Zhenyu directly dropped 5 oceans, and said very embarrassedly: "No need to change, the rest is a tip." ”
Things in this world are really coincidental, looking at the young man in white who dropped his hat on the ground, revealing half of his hair, oh no, it should be a beautiful woman in white. Wang Zhenyu coughed, withdrew the smile on his face, and was thinking about what to say next. At this time, Indian Ah San, who had never seen him before, suddenly appeared with a whistle.
Wang Zhenyu glanced at Ye Ziwen, who was still with a tear-stained but still disdainful expression, and said very seriously: "These two young ladies, no matter how much misunderstanding everyone had in the Western restaurant before, if we don't run now, I think we will definitely be in big trouble in a minute." ”
So the three men and two women ran and went as fast as they could, into an alley on the side of the main road. The Indian patrol is also very old and sophisticated, and he did not chase it endlessly. quickly shrank back to the scene of the crime, and then directly called a few teammates to carry the people lying on the ground back to hand over the errand.
Seeing that the patrol was gone, Wang Zhenyu breathed a sigh of relief, after this experience, the good mood of any hero to save the beauty was gone. Zi said: The gentleman does not build a dangerous wall, he still decided to leave the concession as soon as possible and return to his own defense area, God knows what will happen if he continues to stay here.
As for the arms at hand, it doesn't matter if you can't find a buyer and can't dispose of them. Lao Tzu was relieved and sank directly into the Han River, no one would think about it, hum......
"Okay, these two young ladies, it's okay, you go back, we still have something to do, it's time to leave" Wang Zhenyu carefully watched the movement at the entrance of the alley, and said with his back to Ye Ziwen.
Ye Ziwen, who has received Western-style education since childhood, is very dissatisfied with Wang Zhenyu's behavior of not looking at people when he speaks, because it is very impolite, coupled with his frivolous behavior just now, Wang Zhenyu's impression in her eyes is now negative. But someone had just saved herself, and she couldn't be angry. She hesitated to turn the buttons of her suit sleeves, and said to Wang Zhenyu very softly.
Wang Zhenyu waved his hand: You're welcome. After speaking, he was ready to leave, this place of right and wrong is indeed not suitable for a long time, and safety is still the first thing for now.
"Hey, you guys wait a minute" Ye Ziwen saw that the three of them were really saying that they would leave, and hurriedly stopped.
"What's the matter, you're still ready to make a promise!" In later generations, the problem of talking to girls without holding back was committed again.
Ye Ziwen was so angry that her face was full of shame, she was very scared and wanted these three people to send her home.
But the young man in front of him spoke too frivolously, and he didn't look like a good person no matter how he looked at it. She is not grateful at all now, only the contempt for these uneducated rough people, she stabbed Xiaoyue in the back with her fingers, and she was unwilling to deal with Wang Zhenyu anymore.
"Three righteous men, we live in the Ye Mansion not far from here, in this British Concession. I don't know if the three righteous people can send us back, if they can help, my lord will be very grateful" This maid in black is half a year younger than the young lady, but she speaks very decently.
Wang Zhenyu immediately refused, originally, he risked his life to save these two chicks (it seems that he didn't do it himself). It turned out that it was actually two tomboys who had offended in the western restaurant before, what luck.
And Xiao Meimei naturally didn't give herself a good look, so she almost didn't directly write the words "you are a hooligan" on her face. However, Wang Zhenyu in later generations is often judged by girls like this, and he has already accepted it. Second, he is a man, and he doesn't want to worry so much about a little girl, it's too bad. Just think that you are busy in vain (despise again, you don't contribute), and leave quickly.
I don't know weishenme, when the words came to his mouth, looking at the red eyes and locked jade eyebrows of the little beauty in white, Wang Zhenyu's heart softened, and he agreed again......
Hankou British Concession, Dongting Street Liuye Village, Ye Mansion.
"Three righteous men are above, please bow down to Zuwen. I have already heard the little girl say it, this is really Ye Mou's lack of discipline, causing trouble to the three beneficiaries. ”
Ye Zuwen, who strode into the living room and thanked Wang Zhenyu and the others, was in his early forties, tall and thin, with eyes like pools, with a popular mustache of this era, a black suit, and a calm gesture.
This Mr. Ye Zuwen is originally from Nanjing, and he was originally a scholarly family, and his great-grandfather also served as a political envoy of the Qing Dynasty, but in his father's generation, he repeatedly failed to fall into the family. In order to make a living, Ye's father entered the scene and became a master, and he didn't make a name for himself, so Zuihou could only use the relationship of the yamen to start a business that scholars despised very much.
Shinong industry and commerce, business is the last, Ye Zuwen's father has never forgotten the ancestral business of studying and becoming a scholar throughout his life, so he also named his youngest and most beloved son Zuwen. It's a pity that Ye Zuwen didn't realize his father's ardent expectations when he grew up, he didn't like the Bagu article, and he went to the exam many times but didn't even get a show. Later, there was really no recruitment, and his father, who doted on him very much, had to spend money to find someone to entrust him, and sent Ye Zuwen to the Beijing Jingshi Tongwen Museum to learn English and French. It is also for this reason that at the age of 26, Ye Zuwen also served as the English and French interpreter for Zhang Zhidong, the governor of Huguang. After Zhang Zhidong's death, Ye Zuwen, who was not famous, took up the work of a comprador in Jardine Matheson. Six years ago, Ye Zuwen relied on some of his old connections in the Huguang Governor's Mansion to open Ye's business in the Hankou British Concession, specializing in doing some foreign trade business for the governors, such as purchasing foreign goods and exporting local goods. Business was once very prosperous, and the Ye family gradually became famous in the Hankou Concession. However, after the outbreak of the Xinhai Revolution, the disadvantages of this combination of government and business immediately became apparent, and many businesses were half-dead for various reasons. And because most of the business of Ye's business is foreign-related, once the transaction cannot be completed, the prepaid part will be wasted nine times out of ten, and the Ye family, who has been prosperous for two generations, is now on the verge of bankruptcy like many merchants.
Faced with such a situation, Ye Zuwen, who is in charge, is naturally very anxious, and he has been looking for ways to find a way these days, but he has not been able to grasp the essentials, and he is depressed. I don't want my favorite daughter to sneak out of the house despite her prohibition, if it weren't for the three in front of her, something would have happened. Ye Zuwen was already preparing to reprimand his baby daughter in the study just now, but the benefactor was waiting in the front hall, he planned to thank the benefactor first, give a good reward, and then come back to settle accounts with the dead girl.
Speaking of the three people in front of him, Ye Zuwen, who thought he was well-informed, couldn't help but be secretly surprised.
The three of them were very interesting, only one of them sat on the couch, and it seemed that the three of them were clearly headed by this person. So Ye Zuwen took a closer look at the person who was sitting firmly, although he was wearing a long robe, sword eyebrows, one-skinned eyes, a wide nose and a wide mouth, and a goose egg face, but from this appearance, he was a blessed person. In particular, there is a sharp aura exuded between the eyebrows, which seems to be not small, but it looks like he is only in his early twenties. A person's temperament can be so inconsistent with his age, which is really strange and strange for Ye Zuwen, who knows that he has read countless people.
The two people standing behind him were all dressed in short suits, one of them was of medium stature, with slightly convex cheeks, indifferent eyes, and solemn complexion. On the whole, the appearance of looking at the nose and the nose and the heart is very tolerant, giving people the feeling that people and animals are harmless, but Ye Zuwen can feel that this person exudes a ruthlessness in his bones, and he is by no means an ordinary character.
The other was tall and sturdy, and his obviously thick cotton clothes could not wrap the explosiveness in his body, and a fierce aura was naturally exposed outside, which could not be concealed at all. Ye Zuwen, who traveled from south to north, only looked at the green tendons on this man's thick neck, and knew that he was a practitioner, and his skills must be extraordinary.
Ye Zuwen also noticed one thing in particular, the standing posture of these two people is very peculiar, which is definitely not what ordinary nursing home thugs should have. But this posture is very familiar, it seems that I often see it when I go out of the Governor's Palace, yes, this is the unique standing posture of the new army, and the general party and the old army do not have this way of standing. Therefore, Ye Zuwen made a very accurate judgment that ninety percent of the three people in front of him were soldiers, and they were also new soldiers. It's just that the three towns of Wuhan are gathered at the moment, so I don't know if these three are the six towns of Beiyang or the Hubei New Army......
Now that the situation is in chaos, the most popular ones are no longer those old men in the yamen, but these soldiers with guns. Ye Zuwen immediately adjusted his attitude, and after thanking the three of them very sincerely, he did not choose to send the guests off immediately, but sat down lightly and chattered.
First of all, it was naturally out of habit to ask: "Dare to ask the names of the three benefactors?" ”
"Hehe, the contemptible surname is Wang Wenzheng. Hehe, this is my cousin Ma Cheng, and this is my brother-in-law Zhao San" Wang Zhenyu directly reported the word as his name, after all, he is in a different place, and he is careful.
Zhao Dongsheng was still standing straight behind him, his chin was slightly raised, and he still didn't say a word, which highlighted Wang Zhenyu sitting in front of them very imposingly. Wang Zhenyu knew this very early, when he went to Hankou to recruit the student army, Wang Zhenyu deliberately took Zhao Dongsheng with him, weishenme, he just wanted to borrow this kid's big man to help him suppress the field.
Ye Zuwen heard the other party sign up like this, and naturally decided that the young man in front of him must be extraordinary, and the first hearing of this newspaper was a fake name, it was estimated that he had to be in the body, and it was inconvenient to tell his real name.
Ye Zuwen is also a ** lake, and he smiled and was very interested in not breaking it.
"Three benefactors, the little girl can be rescued by three righteous people, it can be regarded as our Ye family and the three benefactors, Ye has nothing to repay, so he can only prepare a small gift to show his gratitude, and please don't dislike the three benefactors, please smile."
