With the Spring Festival approaching, Happy Valley began to hold the "New Year's Jockey Club" in accordance with the usual practice, which once again attracted a wave of betting.

Who knows, when Hong Kong Island horse racing betting was first approved, there were few spectators, and no one was willing to pay for a 5 yuan horse ticket, until a 100,000 jackpot was opened, which made the public swoon.

Horse racing activities with aristocratic temperament have become a game dominated by Chinese, and arrogant foreign jockeys have been pulled off the altar, and more and more Chinese jockeys have emerged.

He Dingxian sat on the viewing platform with his concubine and mother, smoking imported coconut green in his hand, looking at the track and running horses, full of interest.

Bai Yue'e held a horse ticket in her hand and shouted loudly: "Big wave girl, rush!" ”

"Rush!"

"Fat boy chatter, fat boy chatter, come up!" Mom held a horse ticket in her hand, raised her hand and waved it vigorously.

The stands of 3,000 people were packed, and the spectators held up their horse tickets and shouted loudly.

With ten horses rushing out of the cage, the atmosphere reached its peak.

Ho Ting-yin experienced the fun of horse racing on Hong Kong Island for the first time, but as a horse crossed the line for a touchdown, countless spectators wailed: "Ah! ”

"!"

"The fat boy actually won, and a new horse actually won the New Year's horse race!"

This result is difficult for many customers to accept, but it makes the winning gamblers jump and be elated.

"Win."

"Win!"

Peng Lingshan grabbed her son's arm hard, causing He Dingxian to grin: "I just bought five yuan, is it worth being so happy?" ”

The racecourse horn began to announce the winners, runners-up and runners-up, as well as the names of the jockeys......

For example, the horse's previous race rankings, front court standings, recent form, weight, jockey resume, etc., will be reported in the Book of Horses before the start of the race.

It is an important basis for spectators to buy horses and bet.

During the Spring Festival this year, Ho Ting-yin spent time with his family in Central, not only setting off firecrackers, watching horse races, eating roast goose, but also going to Tin Hau Temple to grab incense, cutting suckling pig and watching lion dances with his brothers in the restaurant.

Although he went out to line up in front of the temple at three o'clock in the morning, he was still squeezed into ashes, and he almost couldn't plug in the first incense.

Although, standing at the door of the mission hall to watch the lion dance, you have to give red envelopes to the brothers of the lion team one by one, and you have to pay out of your own pocket.

Although, when the wandering gods crossed the border, they burned a pillar of high incense to catch the gods, and the whole street was smoky.

However, he was comfortable and happily spent a Chinese New Year, and experienced the fainter and weaker flavor of the New Year in later generations.

The "hemp eggs", "popcorn", "shrimp chips", and "rice tubes" used to entertain guests during the New Year at home are also steamed and fried by the mother and the concubine, and they are done by themselves, only canned fruits, peanuts and melon seeds, and Spring Festival couplets are bought outside.

The lively New Year is full of joy, and it is also a good opportunity for colleagues and brothers to visit each other and get closer to each other.

Drinking at the end of the year is not an empty word, even the ghost guy took the opportunity of the New Year to contact everywhere, Ge Bai came to the house of the chief "Yifu" with a box of red wine, bowed and said: "Sir, happy new year." ”

Isuke was only forty years old, and it was when he was in the prime of life and his political life was vigorous, he wore a suit at home, combed a big back, and looked energetic and capable.

At the age of 19, he was admitted to the Probationary Inspector Force, and at the age of 23, he was transferred to the Hong Kong Island Police Force as an assistant superintendent.

After the outbreak of World War II, he led troops to participate in the "Battle of Hong Kong Island", and was imprisoned by the Japanese army in the Stanley concentration camp during the fall of Hong Kong Island, until Japan surrendered unconditionally in 1945 before being released.

This kind of talent will shine even if it is put in the, and it is hard to make a way without any background, recover with Hong Kong Island, return to the police force, recuperate for one year, and immediately promoted to "superintendent" when he returned to duty, and jumped three levels in three years, and he was already the rank of assistant commissioner the year before last, and is currently the second person in charge of the Kowloon Region, and the real power is still above the first person in charge.

If Ge Bai hadn't been related to Yifu, and during Yifu's imprisonment, he helped to fund and bribe the jailers, and had a friendship with Yifu, he wouldn't have been able to get along with this big guy at all.

There are four levels between him and Isuke, two big thresholds, and they can't even enter the door of their homes if they have nothing to do with each other.

At this time, Isuke put down the TV remote control, stood up on the sofa, and greeted with a smile on his face, "Peter, why did you come to the house to bring gifts?" ”

Ge Bai said naturally: "Follow the local customs, the Lord of Hong Kong has delivered a speech to congratulate the Chinese, we have to have a holiday, and we also have a New Year." ”

"I guess at Christmas, no host would refuse a gift from a guest, right?"

Isuke said, "Okay. ”

Ge Bai knew very well that Yifu could rise one level a year, not only because of his courage and loyalty during the war, but also because he stepped on the ruling policy of the new governor.

How can people have so many family backgrounds, for strong people, backgrounds can also be earned!

At this time, the governor is the background of Isuke, and Isuke is the background of Ge Bai.

However, when Isuke came to Hong Kong Island in the early days, it was a period when the military was powerful, and it is self-evident how many times he was excluded and troubled during the process.

The position of Inspector Chen Li, Tsim Sha Tsui Dong, is operated in the hands of Yi Fu.

Yi Fu is in charge of the appointment of the criminal unit of the entire Kowloon district.

Including Inspector Zonghua!

"Poof!" In the living room, a calm and powerful bubble sounded, and Isuke pulled out a cork from the bottle picker and asked, "Peter, is there anything you want to talk about?" ”

"The chief's eyes are really sharp." Ge Bai actually chose to praise it in Cantonese, and then said: "That's the case, in view of the period of frequent serious crimes in the jurisdiction, I have an idea that I want to report to the chief......

This was the most important thing he did this time.

If things can be successfully operated and the government faction can gain power, this will also become his most important political capital in the police force.

Stepping into the superintendent level is an eyebrow.

After hearing that Ge Bai was not an important official, Yifu frowned, and a relaxed smile appeared on his face, but as soon as the idea of setting up a "serious crime team" was thrown, his eyes became cautious and cautious.

In the end, Yi Fu raised his goblet, shook the red wine, and said in a deep voice: "This matter must be reported to the deputy director of management before a decision can be made." ”

"You wait for my news."

Ge Bai hurriedly raised his glass and touched: "Yes!" ”

"Sir!"

He actually saw a strong affirmation for the first time under Isuke's serious expression.

This is something that has never been done before.

The seventh day of the first month.

After dealing with the relationship between the police force and the rivers and lakes, He Dingxian sent his younger brother to deliver a letter of worship to the Chu Mansion on Liyuan East Street.

Haibo, the housekeeper of Chu Mansion, accepted the worship posts as usual, and handed over all the worship posts to the lord after dinner every day, and handed them to Chu Mansion at least a dozen times a day, and the New Year reached dozens of them.

Except for the first day of the first month to the third day of the first lunar month, Boss Chu is either on the way to the banquet or holds a banquet in the mansion to entertain guests.

"Is this Inspector He's post?" Boss Chu put down a gilt post, and then picked up a red post, and was slightly surprised to see the name on the poster.

Hai Bo wore a white shirt and bowed: "Yes, master, Inspector He's driver Ah Kun personally sent it." ”

"On the eighth day of the first lunar month, at three o'clock in the afternoon, ask me to drink tea?" Chu Weinan opened the post to look at the time, and handed the post to the front with a smile: "Yunnan, can you see it?" ”

Chu Yunnan was wearing pajamas at home and was drinking abalone soup, and rolled his eyes when he heard this: "Lao Dou, visiting you, not me, do you like to see it, ask me to do it?" ”

"Hehe, it's not about you?" Chu Weinan smiled very happily, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and teased: "I haven't even met him, he came to visit me?" ”

"Why, I'm an old bone with a big face, and Inspector Hua wants to press my feet?"

Chu Yunnan shrugged, put down the bowl, and wiped his mouth with a towel: "You are the head of the assembly, Inspector Zhonghua will press your feet, if you speak, he will definitely be willing to press you." ”

"Hahaha." Chu Weinan laughed twice and lowered the post, and said loudly: "See, but the time will be changed, and dinner will be eaten at half past five." ”

"Yes, sir." Haiber took the post with both hands, bowed deeply, and took the post into his arms.

There is no one in ten posts that the lord is willing to see, and everyone must have something to offer, and the hospitality arrangements are necessary for several thoughtful gifts.

Boss Chu still has to manage the business even during the Spring Festival, and it is too much to see two or three customers a day.

There are domestic and foreign officials, businessmen, and relatives in the worship post, in short, there are all kinds of people, but Haibo has been in the Chu family for many years, and Boss Chu has learned from him in raising pigs, so he naturally knows that He Dingxian is quite unusual.

It seems that he has entered the eyes of Master Chu.

It can't be treated as usual.

Of course, when the housekeeper has a lot of taboo words, he won't talk about it in his heart...... You know, there are two kinds of treatment: agreeing to drink tea and holding a banquet!

Inspector He only dared to write in the afternoon when he handed over posts, for fear that he would be scolded for being rude if he wrote the meal time!

After seeing Lao Dou's decision, Chu Yunnan shook his head helplessly, with an expression of "I understand what you want", Chu Weinan also smiled and said nothing, posing as a "knowing daughter Mo Ruo's father", until he got up, he said: "Don't get me wrong, I just see that you are bored at home during the New Year, and there are no fox friends to invite you to a nightclub, by the way, I will call you a friend to stay with you in the house to pass the time." “

Nightclubs are open during the Chinese New Year, but the daughters and young of wealthy families have to attend family gatherings or go out with their fathers to visit guests. After all, the first premise of inheriting the family business of the father's generation is to inherit the business relationship of the father's generation!

"Yes!"

"I'm at home waiting for your guest to come to the door." Chu Yunnan's expression was not stunned at all, Chu Weinan smiled and shook his head again and again.

A reply was sent to the tenement building in Central.

Ni Kun was wearing a windbreaker, carrying a post, and said at the door: "Big boss, the Chu family has posted back." ”
