Chapter 17: Hi!? (c)
Today, the ten-mile long street where Tong's house is located is covered with red silk, and the red curtains are entangled, and the bright red silk stings the eyes of passers-by. The Tong family is also preparing for tomorrow's wedding. In the boudoir, everyone is still crowding around the newcomer, and compared to Tong Wanyan's time, it is more than a hundred times more lively. On the hanger, there is a bright red wedding dress embroidered by the embroiderer. The wedding dress was specially embroidered by Tong Zheng to find the best embroidery girl in Shanghai. The wedding dress is made of phoenix brocade, the bright red wedding dress is also embroidered with the pattern of hibiscus peony, the bottom of the skirt is outlined with gold wire to outline the pattern of joy, around the bottom, the phoenix wearing peony in the center of the wedding dress is amazing, which is enough to show that Tong Zheng is attentive and attaches great importance to this matter.
Tong Wanyan circled around the wedding dress and sighed: "Wanjing, your wedding dress is so beautiful, I envy you." ”
Tong Wanjing smiled lightly and didn't say anything. It was time to eat, so everyone followed Mrs. Tong to the front yard, leaving only Yin Cheng, Tong Wanyan and Tong Wanjing. Tong Wanyan saw that everyone had gone out, patted Tong Wanjing's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Wanjing, my mother still thinks that you are not marrying well, but in fact, these days, you are secretly having fun!" Right? ”
As soon as the words fell, Tong Wanjing did not laugh as she thought, but buried her head in Yin Cheng's arms and cried, which surprised Yin Cheng and the others. After a long time, Tong Wanjing stopped crying, and before they could ask the reason, Tong Wanjing said it herself, "When I was married a few days ago, Shao Jihong told me that he would never like me in his life, and he only had the second sister-in-law in his heart. Tong Wanjing's words were like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, smashing into Yin Cheng's heart, and also caught Yin Cheng off guard. Tong Wanjing said: "I thought I could marry my beloved, get his love, and see the world with him. But now, before I and him, the husband and wife have begun, he has cut off all my back roads, forcing me to have no way out. If it weren't for my father, I'd rather die now than marry him like this. ”
Listening to Tong Wanjing's story, the two had never felt that Tong Wanjing's temperament was so strong, Yin Cheng recalled Tong Wanjing's words, and his heart rippled, and his heart couldn't calm down for a long time. However, time has already passed, so why should the two of them be nostalgic for the past. Now, each has its own family, so why bother. After Yin Cheng thought about it carefully, he said word by word: "Wanjing, wait a few days, I will naturally talk to Shao Jihong, let him forget about me, and live a good life with you." ”
Tong Wan said quietly: "Really? Second sister-in-law, if you can do this, Wanjing will remember your kindness second sister-in-law. ”
"Don't say such outward words, Wanyan, accompany Wanjing well, it's not too early, I'll go back first." After saying that, he went back to his room.
The night passed quickly. In the early morning, accompanied by bursts of firecrackers and noise, Shao Jihong, the groom, came to Tong's house. Tong Wanjing had already put on the extravagant wedding dress, sat in front of the bronze mirror, and let the bride fiddle. When the auspicious time came, Tong Wanjing adhered to the etiquette, walked in front of Shao Jihong, let him take his hand, and walked outside the mansion to another world.
When night fell, everyone except the Tong family gathered at the mayor Qi's house to congratulate and congratulate him. Beneath all the excitement is an undercurrent. Suddenly, a gunshot rang out, and screams followed.
I saw that in the crowd, many people with guns suddenly poured out. The mayor quietly moved out under the cover of his family. Unexpectedly, he was discovered by Liu Chang. Liu Chang ordered the team to split into two roads, one to pursue the mayor, and the other to stay to protect Tong Wanjing. With Liu Chang's order, the team was also launched. Liu Chang led the team all the way to track the mayor, but unexpectedly he infiltrated Tong's house. As if he had expected it, after reuniting his own troops with Liu Chang's team, Tong Zheng said to Liu Chang: "He took the opportunity to rob Cheng'er." Now they are running towards the city gates. I have ordered the gates to be sealed. Liu Chang, success or failure is here. So saying, they ran together to the gate of the city.
Seeing that the road ahead was sealed and there was no way back, the mayor pointed a gun at Yin Cheng and shouted: "Tong Zheng, Liu Chang, I really didn't expect that my dignified mayor of Shanghai would be defeated at the hands of you two newcomers, it's really ridiculous." As he spoke, he put a gun on Yin Cheng again, and said, "But, it doesn't matter, with her in hand, I'm not afraid, and the big deal will end up together." ”
Suddenly, a voice came from behind Tong Zheng, saying, "Dad, put down the gun, don't hurt Cheng'er." With that, Shao Jihong ran over from behind. Bitterly persuasive. In an instant, the mayor's gun slipped down, and a figure stood behind the mayor, pushing Yin Cheng fiercely, Tong Mingyuan and Shao Jihong went to pick her up at the same time, but Tong Mingyuan grabbed a vacancy, and Yin Cheng just fell into Shao Jihong's arms. Shao Jihong asked softly, "Cheng'er, are you okay?" Yin Cheng broke free from Shao Jihong's arms without a trace, stood beside Tong Mingyuan, and shook his head politely at Shao Jihong.
Taking advantage of everyone's attention on Yin Cheng, the mayor injured Wang Yuwan behind him, picked up the gun on the ground, and fled in a hurry. However, just two steps later, a handsome figure flew down from the city wall, took out the revolver in his arms, and fired two shots at random, only to see that the mayor's gun fell and one leg was injured.
Liu Chang waved his hand, and someone took the mayor down. Liu Chang walked towards Wang Yuwan and the others: "Yuwan, Fugui, thanks to you tonight." Fugui, take your sister back to Liu's house first, and the doctor will rush over in a while. ”
Wang Fugui didn't flamboyate like before, just nodded, and took the injured Wang Yuwan back to Liu's house.
The mayor has been arrested, the remnants of the party have also been arrested, and Tong Zheng and Liu Chang have also completed the execution of the Nanjing government's orders. It's a pity that Tong Wanjing, the most important thing in her life, was used as a bargaining chip by Tong Zheng.
On the evening of July 16, the twelfth year of the Republic of China, Qi Desheng, the mayor of Shanghai, and his henchmen were arrested by generals Liu Chang and Tong Zheng. On the morning of 17 July, all the personnel went to Nanjing to resume their lives. On 18 July, the government appointed Liu Chang as the new mayor of Shanghai, and Tong Zheng as a second-class general and commander. In the afternoon of the same day, they all returned to Shanghai.
Dignitaries from all walks of life in Shanghai are in the city government to clean up the dust for the two of them. Tong Zheng went back to Tong's Mansion directly on the grounds that there was something at home. As soon as Tong Zheng entered the door, he instructed the housekeeper to take Shao Jihong and Tong Wanjing over, and there was something important to discuss.
The butler hurriedly sent someone. Tong Zheng walked straight back to the bedroom, changed into casual clothes, and waited with Mrs. Tong for Tong Wanjing to come back. After a while, Tong Wanjing arrived. Tong Wanjing is no longer like before, with two braids and a student. Now, she was dressed in a moon-white cheongsam without any embellishment, and her jet-black hair had been pulled up and combed into a bun. Tong Wanjing saw Tong Zheng, and she was not as affectionate as before, with alienation in her tone, and said, "Dad, mother." I wonder what my father is looking for me? ”
Mrs. Tong didn't mind Tong Wanjing's coldness, and hurriedly beckoned her to sit down. Tong Zheng looked at Tong Wanjing carefully, pondered for a long time, and finally spoke: "Wanjing, I understand that you have resentment in your heart, you hate your father for using your wedding as a bargaining chip, but your father also has a hard time. Dad was also forced to do so. ”
Tong Wanjing was extremely angry, because she was extremely angry, and she trembled a little when she spoke, "Yes, Dad, you have a hard time, you have to serve the country and think about your family." Honestly, you're thinking about yourself! I, Tong Wanjing, am just a chess piece in your eyes, a chess piece that you use to get promoted and make a fortune. ”
As soon as the words fell, I saw an extra slap mark on Tong Wanjing's face. Tong Zheng was obviously angry. Tong Zheng pointed at Tong Wanjing, but she didn't say anything for a long time, and Mrs. Tong saw that the situation was not good, so she hurriedly asked someone to send Tong Wanjing to her room, and asked someone to reduce the swelling of her face. After Tong Wanjing went out, Mrs. Tong poured tea for Tong Zheng again, and said softly: "Master, Jing'er, this kid doesn't know how to measure, and he lost his words for a while, don't be too angry, hurt your body." ”
Tong Zheng sighed and said, "I don't understand. Jing'er, this child, don't look weak on the outside, she is silent, in fact, she is also very strong in her bones. I used her marriage as a bargaining chip to destroy what she valued most, how could she not hate me! Tong Zheng recalled that when he had just received the task of arresting Qi Desheng in Nanjing, he was also embarrassed in every way. Although she doesn't pay much attention to the performance of these children in the school every day, Tong Wanjing is extremely happy every time she comes back from the school, and her eyebrows are dancing. After his own investigation and understanding, he understood that Jing'er was in love with Shao Jihong. Therefore, Tong Zheng is also embarrassed to capture Qi and win. However, in Tong Wanjing's lifelong happiness and temporary embarrassment, Tong Zheng chose the latter, so this kind of thing happened.
Mrs. Tong looked at Tong Zheng pondering, and said softly: "Master, give Jing'er a little more time." Speaking of this, Mrs. Tong seemed to be thinking about something, paused for a moment, and then continued: "Master, there are also Mingyuan and Cheng'er, this ......"
Tong Zheng is also helpless. That night, Qi Desheng infiltrated Tong's house, which was already in the plan of Liu Chang and Tong Zheng, took Yin Cheng as a hostage, and captured him while Qi Desheng was not paying attention. Tong Zheng didn't want Tong Mingyuan to take risks, so he called Tong Mingyuan to the study that night. When the family found out, after Yin Cheng was robbed by Qi Desheng, even if Tong Mingyuan was taking action, it would be useless. So now Yin Cheng must think that this matter is related to Tong Mingyuan. Tong Zheng thought of this, so he had to say: "Forget it, let them go." Madam, in the afternoon, I will send someone to Liu's house to thank the Wang family sisters and brothers, no matter what they ask, we will meet them, after all, they can be regarded as our benefactors. ”
"Okay, sir, I'll get ready in a moment. Master, you're tired too, take a good rest, I'll call you again if there's anything. After saying that, Mrs. Tong walked out.
Although the turmoil has come to an end for the time being, there is another story waiting for them.
