Chapter 1: Are You Fooling Me?
One day in the late autumn of 1929 was an ordinary day for the town of Meron, and the townspeople were preparing for the coming winter, a difficult season, especially for the poor.
But on this day, both sides of the originally depressed street were crowded with onlookers, all looking at each other, whispering and talking, and some people tiptoed to look into the distance from time to time, as if they were waiting for someone.
"You said that this Tang Sanshao is unlucky enough, marry a daughter-in-law well, this hasn't passed the door yet, hey, died suddenly, this Miss Gu is also unlucky, tsk!" A man in his thirties shook his head and spoke, only to see that he was dressed in a cloth shirt, with two or three patches on his clothes, long sharp-beaked monkey cheeks, and a yellow face.
A woman in her forties and fifties next to him, dressed not gorgeously, but still neat and tidy, gave him a blank look, "You make a small noise, let Tang Sanshao hear it, it's not just the eldest lady of the Gu family who is dead!" ”
When the man heard this, he smiled: "With my tattered body, it would be good if I could die with the eldest lady of the Gu family, and it would be a good thing to be a husband and wife in the underworld after death." ”
"Whew!" The woman snorted contemptuously: "Just because you are also worthy of being a husband and wife in the underworld with Miss Gu, and do your daydream!" At this time, I saw a commotion in the distance, and I heard someone shouting that I was coming, so I quickly stopped and looked over with the crowd.
I saw a few cars driving in the distance, it was a black car, followed by two big trucks, the cars were full of people, and there seemed to be a lot of things placed, the crowd let out an exclamation, obediently, this Tang San Shao came to hang a condolence movement is also big enough.
The car drove all the way to the richest man in Meilong Town, Gu's family, the door of the Gu family was full of white cloth and white fan, although the Gu family was the richest man, but after all, it was also a scholarly family, and the layout was simple but solemn.
I saw Gu's father Gu Qiming and Gu's mother Qi Meilan standing outside the door with their second daughter Gu Meng and adopted son Gu Liangping, Gu's mother's body was originally weak, but at this time she was even more unstable on her feet, supported by her second daughter Gu Meng on the side, Gu Meng's beautiful face still had tears on her face, and her expression was sad.
The car stopped at the door and didn't open for a long time, just when everyone began to whisper curiously, the door opened, and a handsome man in military uniform got out of the car, and the crowd let out bursts of exclamation. Tang Sanshao's name is almost known to women and children, and when I saw it today, I really felt that Miss Gu was really unblessed, marrying such a man is the dream of women all over the world, it's a pity!
Tang Sanshao got out of the car and saw the white cloth outside the Gu family, his face sank, and he raised his hand at the adjutant Tang Fanchen behind him: "Demolish!" ”
Gu Liangping had already stepped forward to greet him, and when he heard this, he immediately rushed to Tang Yifeng and stretched out his hand to block: "Sanshao, what does this mean?" ”
Tang Yifeng looked at Gu Liangping and raised his left eyebrow: "These white cloths are too eye-catching." “
Gu Liangping snorted coldly: "The white cloth is all hung because of the unfortunate death of the little sister, and the three young people came to condole, the Gu family is grateful, but this white cloth can never be removed." “
"Dead?" Tang Yifeng said and took a step forward, approaching Gu Liangping's ear and said, "Are you Gu family stupid for me?" ”
Gu Liang's face calmly took a step back, and looked at Tang Yifeng with a calm expression: "Why did Tang Sanshao say this?" Sanshao is the best man in the world, how can my Gu family look down on him?"
Tang Yifeng looked at him with a smile for a while, but ignored him anymore, spared Gu Liangping and walked straight to Gu Qi, "Uncle Gu, long time no see!" ”
Gu Qiming nodded slightly, with a sad face: "The little girl unfortunately passed away, and the three young people came to condole, Gu is very grateful!" ”
Tang Yifeng suddenly smiled: "Uncle Gu and Ling Lang really deserve to be father and son, and they all say the same thing." After a pause, he restrained his smile and continued: "However, Uncle Gu is wrong!" “
"Oh?" Gu Qiming was slightly surprised: "Dare to ask Sanshao, where is Gu wrong?" “
Tang Yifeng glanced at everyone in the Gu family and said slowly: "Yifeng is not here to offer condolences this time!" ”
"That's?" Gu Qiming's face was puzzled, and there was a hint of displeasure.
Tang Yifeng beckoned: "Lift it up!" “
Adjutant Tang Fanchen raised his hand, walked forward with the soldier door carrying the box, and the crowd began to stir, only to see that the entire twenty large boxes were wrapped with red cloth, and the red cloth on the box was in stark contrast to the white cloth hanging outside the gate of the Gu family.
Gu Qiming frowned: "Dare to ask Sanshao, what does this mean?" “
Tang Yifeng smiled, turned to face the crowd of onlookers behind him, and said loudly: "I, Tang Yifeng, came to Meilong Town today just to pick up relatives!" “
The crowd was in an uproar, isn't this Tang San Shaomo crazy? The eldest lady of the Gu family is dead, who is he coming to pick up? Miss Gu Er?
Gu Liangping on the side was a little anxious: "Tang Sanshao, it is Xiaoying who is engaged to you, and it has nothing to do with Xiaomeng, now that Xiaoying has passed away, the family matter should be stopped, how can you..."
Gu Liangping was interrupted by Tang Yifeng before he finished speaking: "Young Master Gu seems to have misunderstood, when did I say that I came to pick up the second miss?" ”
"What about you?" Not to mention that Gu Liangping was puzzled, everyone present was confused, and they didn't know what the third young master of the Tang family had in mind?
"The person I Tang Yifeng wants to marry is Miss Gu, and the person who comes to pick up the relatives is naturally the eldest lady of the Gu family, Gu Ying, what does it have to do with others?" Tang Yifeng said and turned to face Gu Qiming, and made a slight gesture: "I still hope that Uncle Gu will be successful!" ”
"This..."Gu Qiming was speechless for a while, and only replied after a while: "The third young man is very affectionate to the little girl, Gu is deeply grateful, the little girl died suddenly, Gu is difficult to accept for a while, but the deceased is dead, and I hope that the third young man can mourn!" ”
"Since Yifeng is here, I have made up my mind" Tang Yifeng looked firm: "Whether it is a person or a ghost today, Yifeng has to take it back!" “
"Are you crazy?" Gu Meng, the second miss Gu Meng, who had not spoken, suddenly spoke, she handed her mother over to the subordinates on the side to help her, and walked quickly to Tang Yifeng: "My sister is dead, she must be buried in the ground now, what do you want to do now?" You kept bullying her before she died, and you didn't let her live in peace when she died? “
Tang Yifeng frowned: "How I get along with her is our business, what does it have to do with you?" "
"She's my sister, why doesn't it have anything to do with me?" Gu Meng paused for a moment and said, "Looking at what Tang San Shao just said, don't you believe that your sister is dead?" Since it is below, then please follow me to the mourning hall and see it with my own eyes! ”
Tang Yifeng was about to say something, but he heard exclamations around him, and when he looked back, he found that thick smoke was billowing from the backyard of the Gu Mansion, what is? On fire?
"It's not good, it's not good" A subordinate ran out of the Gu family's compound, his face was already blackened by smoke, and he hurriedly ran to Gu Qiming: "It's not good, the mourning hall is on fire!" ”
"Quick, put out the fire!" Gu Qiming said anxiously as he walked inside.
Tang Yifeng was stunned, and suddenly laughed: "Okay, you Miss Gu Ying, it's really time for you to start a fire, do you really take me for a fool?!" ”
