Chapter 33: Looking Back Again
"Governor, you seem to be in a good mood lately."
Xiaobai looked at Tang Youchen sitting in an office chair, he rarely drank at night recently.
"I think you've been in a good mood lately, why are you with Lishu?"
"How did she confess to you?"
"No, Governor, it was me who confessed to Lishu."
Tang Youchen really couldn't imagine that this wood would also bloom, looking at his usual appearance with a proud face, as if he had lived with anyone for the rest of his life, but now it doesn't seem to be the case.
"Oh? It's really a rare thing. ”
"However, Governor, you should be more careful recently, the Fang family can't find anyone, and it is estimated that you will be the next one to be called on a blind date."
Before Tang Youchen understood what Xiaobai meant, the chief pushed open the door of Tang Youchen's office, originally saying that it would be a few days later, but he wanted to see what Beicheng had become under Tang Youchen's governance.
"Chief, why didn't you give advance notice when you came?"
"I informed you, I informed you that I was going to arrive the day after tomorrow."
Tang Youchen hurriedly got up, but the chief still sat on the sofa opposite him.
It's not that he came to laugh at him, I heard that Li Sisi and Shang Yu got married, and a relative in his family had a little business relationship with Shang Yu, but he didn't know what was going on.
I thought it was Li Sisi who didn't want to wait for Tang Youchen to get married, which is why he was about to laugh at Tang Youchen, some people believe that love is not terrible, because they don't believe that they can't limit others, but it's a pity to take their future on the line.
I think that he was also a person from Beicheng back then, and his life is different from Tang Youchen, he couldn't have such a position in four years, so from the day he left Beicheng, he just came back today.
Those people and things in the past were probably blown away with the wind, after all, it is absolutely impossible for one person to wait for another person for decades.
"You're still so fond of joking."
"Oh, my nephew who is not a good person is still here, and he still has the face to come to work, and Miss Fang's complaint has come to my house."
The chief has never been married in his life, and he doesn't know who he is waiting for or what's going on, but Xiao Bai is his nephew or Tang Youchen really doesn't know, so he told himself that Xiao Bai was absolutely sincere.
That's why.
"Uncle, I already have a girlfriend."
"You have a girlfriend, you are still on a blind date, haven't you been beaten recently, your skin is tight."
"No, it was only after I got in touch with Miss Fang that I found the person who could walk with me for the rest of my life."
"You talk a lot of, if you don't have any, get out of here, it's annoying to see you."
When the chief was in Beicheng, Xiaobai was always taken by the chief, and after the chief left, the previous governor took Xiaobai, and the previous governor was also the one who promoted the chief, so Xiaobai had such a big grudge against Pei Zhou.
Looking at it this way, it is simple and clear that the chief wants Pei Guan's life, in the name of rebellion, pretending to be public and private.
"What is the big deal with the chief's visit this time?"
Xiaobai poured tea for the chief and left.
"I just heard that you were dumped, so I came to see if you regretted going to Beicheng, but Beicheng was well governed by you, and I saw it too."
"I'm an adult, and I never regret my choice."
"That girl from the Li family betrayed you, aren't you angry? I heard that the Li family is now obedient to Pei Zhou, should I use the power of tripping Pei Zhou to cut down the Li family to the roots. ”
"I was afraid of your suspicion at the beginning, if I married a girl from the Li family, would you think that I had formed an alliance with Pei Xuan."
"You know I won't."
"I know you will, you don't believe that love in this world is great, because you have experienced betrayal, so you think that people who believe in love are stars, isn't that what you think?"
Although the relationship between the two people is good, it is normal to strengthen the help when they speak.
It's because the chief doesn't believe in this love, so he feels that Tang Youchen has been wronged in Beicheng, but looking at the current situation, it's hard to say what the relationship between the two people is like, and he has time to ask Xiaobai in person.
"What has Pei Zhou been doing recently, I heard that Shang Yu's kid married a girl from the Li family, so will there be a ...... between him and Pei Zhou?"
"I don't know Shang Yu's thoughts for the time being, because although he said that he wanted to support my forces in Beicheng, there is no substantive contact between us, you come this time, I will prepare a party, that is, I am ready to test him."
"Good boy, even I counted it in."
"I have no other way to hold a banquet, do you know this, you come to Beicheng, do you need Adjutant Bai to take you around?"
"No, I made an appointment, you can get busy first, rest early."
It's not too early, although the old chief said that he had made an appointment, but in fact he didn't, he wanted to find someone to complete the only regret in his life.
I heard that I got married a few years ago, and I don't know who I married, but that family was a big family at the beginning, so let's go and have a look.
The Lan family was not a big family in Beicheng at the beginning, but there were also strict protégés, so they could be regarded as having a good life.
But now I see a dilapidated house overgrown with weeds, the lake has dried up, and the small trees that used to grow taller than the sky.
He walked in, walked through the long corridor, and came to the door of the room where he was always thinking about it, and he tidied up his clothes, which were the same clothes as Tang Youchen, and he wore Martin boots, and gently flicked the dust off his clothes.
"Squeak."
The old wooden door rattled like the voice of a hoarse old man.
The contents are all crooked, as if there is nothing of value left.
The bed was covered with tattered cobwebs, and the bedding on the bed was moldy.
Heavy footsteps sounded behind him, and it was a very old woman.
"Who are you looking for?"
The old woman spoke, but her voice was like that of a wooden door, creaking.
"Is this family gone, or is there no heir?"
The chief looked at the old man in front of him, without the slightest familiarity, when he was there, all the servants in the family knew him.
"There is no one for a long time, and those who should go are gone."
The old man was about to leave on crutches, but was stopped by the chief.
"What is your relationship with this family?"
"The former owner of this house was kind to me, so I would come here when I had time, and when I was younger, I would often come to clean the room, but now I can't, I'm old."
"Do you know where this former eldest lady is?"
"Miss, is it Miss Lan Jing?"
When this name was mentioned, the old man's face seemed to have a little more melancholy and a little more sadness, and even some anger, I don't know what she thought, and let out a long sigh.
"Yes."
"Miss is a very good person, but she fell in love with someone she shouldn't fall in love with, otherwise her life wouldn't be easy today, that little helper Bai Yu was the one who hurt Miss."
"At the beginning, Miss originally had a good family to marry, but because of her fornication with Bai Yu's little worker, she was known by the lord and Mrs., and the little worker ran away overnight after knowing it, leaving Miss alone, and the Lan family style is strict."
The chief left the house with the woman's words all over his head.
The Lan family style is strict, so Lan Jing was beaten half to death, the Li family at that time was very rich, and they fell in love with Lan Jing's beauty, and the Lan family's parents sent Lan Jing to a sedan chair after knocking Lan Jing unconscious, but she swore to Li Wen to death.
Although he helped her raise a jade girl, he didn't have half an heir, and I heard that Li Wen never spent the night in Lan Jing's room.
After Pei Zhou mastered Beicheng with one hand, he asked Li Wen for Lan Jing, only by asking Lan Jing could he keep the Li family's status in Beicheng, in the past, they were secretly given away, but now Li Wen directly announced that Lan Jing was retired and asked her to follow Pei Zhou.
The chief extinguished the cigarette in his hand, he felt that Lan Jing had betrayed him, but it was he who really betrayed this relationship, how much she had been wronged over the years.
Without thinking about it, the chief went directly to Pei Zhou's house, but the people were saying that the master was newly married to the concubine.
If you want the address, you have to go to that place, as long as the chief himself and Pei Zhou want someone, he dares not to give it, he personally asks someone to give Pei Zhou benefits, as long as Lan Jing can come to his side, he is willing.
"The chief is coming to Beicheng soon, what do you say I should say in front of the chief to let Tang Youchen's evil beast go."
"I'm a woman, and I don't understand what you're talking about."
"You still know that you are a woman, so shouldn't you do something that a woman should do, and serve a good man, is it bad for you?"
Pei Xuan took off his belt, he was always beaten anyway, Lan Jing was used to it, and there was nothing in his life to cheer himself up.
The two of them were in the courtyard, but there was no one under them, and no one would pass by, even if someone passed by, it would only make Pei Zhou more excited.
The chief hid behind the tree, looking at everything in front of him, his Lan Jing, who was so arrogant in the past, now she seemed to be a corpse, Pei Xuan wanted her to go east, she was obedient, and followed her master like a rag puppet.
Although it was in the courtyard, she didn't seem to care anymore, she would do whatever Pei Zhou asked her to do, and after a few minutes, Pei Zhou didn't seem to be very happy, he didn't like Lan Jing's submissive appearance, but there was no reason to beat her anymore.
"Chief, how did you get to the North City?"
"I'm here to see you."
"Chief, what do you say, why don't you hurry up and pour tea for the chief."
When Lan Jing saw Bai Yu, she couldn't tell what emotions were in her eyes, with hatred and love.
It's not like the two of them met like they used to, as if they were really strangers.
"When did you arrive in the North City?"
"It's been a few hours since I heard that you have married a new concubine."
When she heard this, Lan Jing was obviously stunned for a moment, what is this, Jinyi returned to her hometown to mock herself?
