As the saying goes, in three years, the Qing prefect has 100,000 snowflakes of silver.

Zhao Qinghua was well-known in the Beiyang government for his incorruptibility, but he also had a lot of money, thanks to the Xiangshan Hotel he founded in his early years.

In the Beiyang government, the officials who do business to make money to subsidize the family are all clean officials, and the officials doing business is also a kind of atmosphere of the Beiyang government, in other words, the officials can also use their influence to drive the development of the industry.

Zhao Qinghua's residence in the Austro-Hungarian Concession was a garden-style Manchu-style courtyard house, which the people of Tianjin used to call the Zhao Family Garden.

The car that sent Zhang Xueliang and Miss Zhao Si stopped at the gate of Zhao's Garden, and Zhang Xueliang and Miss Zhao Si got out of the car together.

The old mother who was sweeping the steps in front of the door stopped her movements and stared at Zhang Xueliang and Miss Zhao Si, who obviously came here on a special trip, but they were very angry.

Since Zhao Qinghua's resignation, the Zhao family has been rare, especially after Zhang Xueliang lost power, the Zhao family is even more crowded, few cars are parked at the door of Zhao's house, and it is even more rare for anyone to come to Zhao's house as a guest during the Japanese occupation.

Some time ago, Xie Tian Pang Yuan and the three of them came to visit the Zhao family, and the three prominent officials came to visit in person, and dozens of armed PLA soldiers stood guard outside the door, and the passers-by all looked sideways, and some people said that the Zhao family was afraid that they would make a comeback.

However, if someone counts the heirs of the Zhao family, it seems that none of them can take on the heavy responsibility of the Zhao family's comeback.

The old mother hesitated to look at the two people who got out of the car in front of the door, and her heart was uncertain.

Miss Zhao Si was only 16 years old when she left home in 1927 and 'eloped' with Zhang Xueliang, and now 17 years have passed, Miss Zhao Si has changed too much, and her mother is no longer recognizable.

Zhang Xueliang has been living in seclusion for several years, and he has changed a lot, the once suave Lang Lang boy is now a person with pale temples, and since 1926, the old mother has never seen Zhang Xueliang, and his memory has long been blurred.

But Zhang Xueliang and Zhao Si recognized the old mother at a glance, and Miss Zhao Si had already pounced on the old mother emotionally: "Yu Ma, it's great to see that you are still tough, woo woo ......"

Yu's mother threw away the broom to support Miss Zhao Si, who threw herself into her arms and cried bitterly, and asked helplessly: "Miss, which one are you?" ”

"Yu's mother, I'm Xiangsheng." Miss Zhao Si couldn't cry and reported her former name.

"Huh?" "Ahh Yu's mother jumped up, holding Miss Zhao Si's face with both hands, her old tears were rampant, and she screamed: "Xiangsheng, you are Xiangsheng?!" ”

"Yu's mother, it's me, it's me." Miss Zhao Si hugged Yu's mother tightly.

Yu's mother is a nurse who has been nursing her for three years, from Hong Kong to Tianjin to Beiping, Yu's mother has never left Miss Zhao Si's childhood, and for Miss Zhao Si, Yu's mother is closer than her own mother.

Yu's mother rubbed Miss Zhao Si's face vigorously, and the old tears were rampant: "Fourth Miss, my Fourth Miss, I thought I wouldn't see you in my life, woo woo woo woo ......"

The two who were not mother and daughter but were better than mother and daughter hugged each other and cried, Zhang Xueliang sighed and stepped forward and owed to Yu's mother slightly: "Yu's mother, I haven't seen you for many years." ”

In the past, when Zhang Xueliang and Miss Zhao Si met to ride a horse and play tennis at the Xiangshan Hotel, Yu's mother followed her to serve Miss Zhao Si, and she was also familiar with Zhang Xueliang.

"It's ...... Young marshal?! Yu's mother looked at Zhang Xueliang and shouted in surprise.

Miss Zhao Si snorted, wiped her tears, looked at Yu's mother and said, "We're back to visit my father, is he there?" ”

Yu's mother nodded again and again: "Yes, yes." ”

After saying that, Yu's mother took Miss Zhao Si's hand and was about to pull her into the door, but she didn't expect Miss Zhao Si to break away from Yu's mother, looked at the surprised Yu's mother and whispered: "I was kicked out of the house by my father, and I can't go in without his permission." ”

Yu's mother came to her senses, turned around and ran towards the courtyard, and when she crossed the threshold, she stumbled several steps and almost fell, but at this time, she couldn't care about this, staggered and ran directly to the second door, and she had already shouted loudly when she entered the door: "Old lady, fourth miss, Xiangsheng, Xiangsheng is back......"

Zhang Xueliang stood outside the door with his arms around Miss Zhao Si's shoulders, looking at the dilapidated vermilion lacquer courtyard and couldn't help but sigh softly.

If it weren't for the middle of the family, how could Yu Ma come to clean the door.

With Yu's mother's shouting, many people ran out from all over the courtyard and gathered on both sides of the hall to probe their brains to watch, all of them were the men and coachmen and cooks in the house.

Who doesn't know the fame of Zhang Xueliang and Miss Zhao Si, and who doesn't want to see the real face.

The emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and although the Zhao Mansion is in the middle of the road, some things on the scene can barely hold up.

If you want to blame, you can only blame the second generation of the Zhao family for not coming out with any outstanding characters.

Zhao Qinghua married a wife of the third room and had seven sons and four daughters, seven sons except for the second son who died young, although the remaining six people are not mediocre people, but they are just ordinary people among the masses, although they have gained something in their respective fields, but it is not enough for the majority of lintels.

Zhao Qinghua's three daughters are all married, and after the Japanese came, the three daughters went with their husbands, and some went overseas.

Now the Zhao family supports such a big family business because of Zhao Qinghua's solid family background, and the Xiangshan Hotel brought him a good income in those years, but before the Japanese occupied Beiping, Zhao Qinghua also sold the Xiangshan Hotel and cut off the income.

Now the Zhao family is still in Tianjin, and the whole and bottom are gnawing on the old foundation laid by Zhao Qinghua back then, although they are not down to the point of selling their property, but there is not much difference.

Zhang Xueliang and Miss Zhao Si stood solemnly in front of the Zhao Mansion, which also attracted some onlookers from passers-by.

However, passers-by can no longer recognize the powerful Zhang Xueliang and the famous Miss Zhao Si.

Passers-by just wondered what these two people were doing standing here and not going in.

There are many idlers in Tianjin, and there are many people who love to watch the excitement, and the Zhao Mansion is near the Haihe River, and the opposite side of the river is the famous Yiyi Street in Tianjin, which is a place where people come and go, and the little effort has been around a circle of people pointing and pointing.

At this time, more than 20 people surrounded an old man in a wheelchair and hurriedly came out of the inner house, and a young man of twenty-five or sixteen couldn't help but run out to Miss Zhao Si first, and before anyone arrived, he had already shouted: "Fourth sister, fourth sister." ”

Miss Zhao Si is the fourth among Zhao Qinghua's daughters, so she has the title of Miss Zhao Si.

The young man who ran over was the only one younger than Miss Zhao Si among Miss Zhao Si's siblings, the eldest of the Zhao brothers, Zhao Yansheng, and was born to Zhao Qinghua's third lady.

Although Zhao Jisheng and Miss Zhao Si are not compatriots, but the relationship is the deepest, Miss Zhao Si and Zhang Xueliang 'eloped' when Zhao Jisheng was only nine years old, and they have been separated for 17 years, and they have long been unknown.
