Chapter 194: Contradictory Physiognomy
Qiu Gubo didn't expect that he would be scolded by An Wanghai, he comforted himself, maybe An Wanghai is really a complete madman as Cai Qianqing said, and only such a madman can deal with people like Hu Shen.
However, Qiu Gubo also knew in his heart that An Wanghai actually trusted him, otherwise, he would not have made it clear that he and his father would have killed him a long time ago when he found out his identity.
An Wanghai has that ability, Qiu Gubo knows it.
Before the great changes in Yongcheng, Qiu Gubo became a character himself, at least it was difficult for others to harm him. Only now did he realize that he was just an ordinary person to be slaughtered, and that all that had protected him for a long time was his surname and the skin he was wearing.
Wu Sihe saw that Qiu Gubo didn't say a word after leaving the Eight Kings Courtyard, and couldn't help but ask: "Qiu Yutan, what did An Wanghai say?" β
Qiu Gubo shook his head and said, "I didn't say anything, just let us wait and see." β
Liu Luoqu wondered: "Wait and see? What does he want to do? β
Qiu Gubo shook his head, not going to say anything, because he really didn't know.
When the three of them returned to the gate of Qiufu, they unexpectedly saw Tang Anshu who happened to walk to the door.
"Anshu!" Qiu Gubo quickened his pace, rushed up directly, and hugged Tang Anshu.
And Wu Sihe and Liu Luoqu also rushed forward happily, but their eyes quickly fell on Ye Xin's body.
My good girl, where did Tang Anshu get a fairy? The first reaction of the two of them when they saw Yexin was this.
Tang Anshu pushed Qiu Gubo away: "What are you doing?" β
Qiu Gu Bo said: "I finally hope you back, oh, this is ......"
Tang Anshu said: "This is ......"
Yexin immediately introduced herself: "I am his fiancΓ©e Yexin." β
Everyone was stunned, including Tang Anshu himself.
Qiu Gubo, Wu Sihe and Liu Luoqu looked at Tang Anshu, but Tang Anshu didn't know how to answer.
Ye Xin grabbed Tang Anshu and asked, "Anshu, who are the three of them?" β
Tang Anshu coughed and immediately said, "This is Qiu Zhutan, these two, one is Senior Brother Wu Sihe, and the other is Senior Brother Liu. β
Yexin said generously: "Qiu Zhutan, Senior Brother Wu, Senior Brother Liu, hello, I am a newcomer, and I will ask you to take care of me in the future, and thank you for taking care of An Shu for me." β
Ye Xin's voice was gentle and soft, and the three of them didn't come back to their senses for a long time.
Seeing this, Tang Anshu coughed, Qiu Gubo came back to his senses and said, "Okay, let's go in, let's talk again, you two definitely haven't eaten, I told the kitchen to cook a few good dishes." β
While the five of them were sitting in the hall waiting, Qiu Gubo told the story of Yongcheng, and after saying that, he was almost seated, and during the meal, Tang Anshu also told everything that happened on Fengyan Island.
And when eating, Yexin almost didn't eat herself, and she kept serving Tang Anshu vegetables, which made Qiu Gubo and others feel uncomfortable.
As a last resort, Qiu Gubo had to leave under the pretext of leaving and quickly called Shen Qingmeng out.
Shen Qingmeng was very surprised when he heard that Tang Anshu was back, but he saw Qiu Gubo with a sad face.
Shen Qingmeng was puzzled: "Mr. Tang is back, aren't you happy?" β
Qiu Gubo said: "It's not that I'm unhappy, he brought back a woman, who is the granddaughter of the paper bodhisattva, called Yexin, who looks like a fairy, and people are also gentle, sensible, and ......."
When he said this, Qiu Gubo saw Shen Qingmeng looking at him with strange eyes, and he hurriedly said: "That's not what I mean, I mean, she has been sitting next to An Shu, all kinds of gentleness, sweetness, we guys don't know what to say, it's so crooked, you hurry up, go get her away, take her to the room, talk to her, it's considered to save us." β
Shen Qingmeng smiled: "The rain of bullets is coming, and a woman makes the three of you afraid of being like this, as for it?" It's not a point. β
Qiu Gubo said: "You don't understand, no, I don't understand, it's because I don't understand, you understand, so you go, hurry up, good wife, thank you." β
Shen Qingmeng shook his head and entered the front hall with a smile, and after a brief introduction, he led Yexin away.
After Yexin left, Qiu Gubo hurriedly said: "Anshu, it's good for you to come back, what should I do now?" I really don't understand this An Wanghai. β
Tang Anshu said: "Everyone has a different personality and temperament, you can't understand him because you don't understand him, he is indeed very strange, but he is not a bad person, he just doesn't want to approach anyone." β
Wu Sihe was very strange: "Why? β
Liu Luoqu ate roast chicken and said, "That's right, even if you don't get close to anyone, you don't need to add bad words, right?" β
Tang Anshu sighed and said: "An Wanghai is from a family of eunuchs, he is a Manchurian, belongs to the yellow belt, he is a nobleman in the former Manchu Dynasty, a person who has struggled in the sea since childhood, and has witnessed too much cold-bloodedness, so that he has become what he is today." β
Qiu Gubo said: "The official eunuch family, but he is a businessman? β
Tang Anshu explained: "He is very aware of the importance of material to people, but no matter in that era, to quickly obtain a large amount of material to satisfy himself, he must either be an official or a businessman. β
Liu Luoqu said on the side: "You can also rob, be a killer or something." β
Wu Sihe looked at Liu Luoqu and smiled bitterly: "Shut up." β
Tang Anshu said again: "His father is also a good person, more duty, in the imperial court, he belongs to the group of people who do not fight or rob, even so, his father has been imprisoned twice, was implicated in several major cases, and later the Manchu Dynasty collapsed, his family's life is not as good as day by day, even so, he is still being left behind, these experiences have created the current An Wanghai, he doesn't trust anyone, and he doesn't need a partner, he said that a partner is a burden, but in fact, he is worried that reality will strip off people's disguises, He was worried about seeing the truest side of someone he trusted. β
Qiu Gubo understood: "Actually, he is evading, right?" β
Wu Sihe said: "No, doesn't he still have two friends, you and Cai Qianqing?" β
Tang Anshu said: "Because there is no conflict of interest between the three of us, and before we became friends, An Wanghai tested us several times, doubting with money and women, I am not interested in women, I think men, for a lifetime, belong to a certain woman who only belongs to him, this is the best result, and Qianqing has only loved Yulan from beginning to end." As for money, what do you say? Take An Wanghai's words, people who know that they have the ability to make money will not be confused by the immediate benefits. β
Liu Luoqu spit out chicken bones: "No wonder you can be called friends, the three of you are not normal people." β
Yes, none of the three of them are normal people, how many normal people can withstand those temptations?
Tang Anshu said again: "But before us, An Wanghai had a close friend, but he was betrayed by that person, and it was because of that person that An Wanghai's real temperament changed greatly, but even so, he is still a kind person in his bones, and he knows the national righteousness." β
Qiu Gubo wondered: "National righteousness? β
Tang Anshu said: "You all know that during the Manchu court, especially in the early period, the Han people were inferior, and the Manchus had a high status, and An Wanghai never thought so, you all know Liang Qichao, right?" β
Qiu Gubo nodded: "Of course I know." β
Tang Anshu recalled: "Liang Qichao published an article called 'Narrative of Chinese History' more than 20 years ago, in which he put forward a concept, that is, the 'Chinese nation', and the following year, he officially wrote this concept as 'Chinese nation'. β
In 1902, Liang Qichao wrote in the article "On the General Trend of Changes in Chinese Academic Thought": Who cares if it is the largest country in the largest continent among the five continents? I am also Chinese; Who cares if the population is one-third of the world's population? I am also Chinese; Who cares if the history of more than 4,000 years has not been interrupted? I'm Chinese too.
A few years later, Liang Qichao wrote "Observations on the Chinese Nation in History", which focused on analyzing the diversity and mixed types of Chinese nationalities from the perspective of historical evolution, and concluded that the Chinese nation was not a single ethnic group from the beginning, but was actually composed of a mixture of multiple ethnic groups.
This is the first time that someone has put forward the concept of the "Chinese nation", and An Wanghai's father, who saw this article back then, admired Liang Qichao's theory very much, and he taught An Wanghai: "In this land, no matter what nationality you are, no matter what you look like, no matter what different eating habits you have, no matter what kind of beliefs you have, you and them, you are all Chinese, and you are all part of the Chinese nation." β
Therefore, An Wanghai's father is also one of the Manchus who opposed the restoration of the Manchu Dynasty, he believes that the times have changed, and the time of great national integration should be born, and China will move towards the future and become strong, relying on the comprehensive strength of the Chinese nation, not just the lone struggle of a certain nation.
After Tang Anshu finished speaking, he said: "Wanghai, it's very contradictory, in fact, he also needs friends, sometimes he talks and does things very out of line, but it's just a kind of protection for himself." β
Wu Sihe looked at Qiu Gubo: "I think you were unlucky and bumped into him, when we went to find Mr. An, he was not like that." β
Qiu Gubo shook his head: "I don't know what to do, it's good that you're back." β
Tang Anshu said: "I'll go to the Eight Kings Courtyard to see him now." β
Qiu Gubo said: "If you go like this, the news of your return will spread all over Yongcheng immediately." β
Tang Anshu said with a smile: "It's okay, sooner or later I will know, and besides, my master is not an ordinary person, An Wanghai's concealment of identity, he is estimated to have seen through it, so he just wants to cover it up." β
Qiu Gubo said: "I'll send you there." β
Tang Anshu got up and said, "No, I'll just go by myself." β
Qiu Gubo had no choice but to say, "Then what do you need?" Qingmeng and I are ready to put your room, and from now on, you will live with me. β
Tang Anshu wanted to say something but held back, he originally wanted to explain his relationship with Yexin, but he was afraid that Yexin would be unhappy when she learned about it, after all, this was the first time she had left Yelong Island and came to the outside world.
Qiu Gubo saw Tang Anshu with a look of wanting to speak and stopping: "What's wrong?" β
Tang Anshu said: "It's nothing, let's talk about it when I come back." β
Qiu Gubo sent Tang Anshu away, and before leaving, he stuffed one of his guns into him: "The city is not peaceful, it's better to bring a guy with you." β
Tang Anshu looked at the pistol: "Yes, when will I be able to go to the street without a gun." β
