Chapter 3 third chapter

It was past nine o'clock, and the milk-yellow gate of Zheng's mansion was still closed.Xing Chuzhi's old Mercedes-Benz stopped at the gate of the mansion and honked the horn for a long time before Mama Liu wiped her hands with her apron and came out to open the door.Seeing Mama Liu come out, Xing Chuzhi sent the coachman and guards back to the Zhen Guojun's local office. Before leaving, the coachman and the guard asked, "When will you pick me up?" Xing Chuzhi waved his hand and said, "There's no rush, you can wait for the call at the office!" Liu Ma, who was opening the door, interjected: "It's better to come and pick it up earlier, I'm afraid the eighth wife won't have time to spend more time with you, sir!"

Mama Liu's words displeased Xing Chuzhi: What is the relationship between him and his eighth wife, Yu Wan?But it didn't show on his face, he just reiterated to the coachman and the guard: "I have a lot of things to discuss with Mrs. Eight, if you don't call, don't come." The coachman and the guards got into the broken car and left. Xing Chuzhi put the black leather briefcase under his armpit and asked Mama Liu sullenly, "What is the eighth wife doing today?" Mama Liu clapped her hands and said, "Hey, Adjutant Xing, you don't know yet? Mrs. Eight's nephew Zhu Ming'an came back from Japan, and it was about midnight yesterday. Zhu Ming'an has two friends coming today, and he will be there tonight." 'Great East Asia' treat..."

Xing Chuzhi smiled: "I really have something big to do! Isn't that the little boy from Mrs. Eight's natal family back?" After finishing speaking, he didn't look at Liu Ma again, and entered the main entrance of the living room like a master . As soon as he stepped into the door, Xing Chuzhi's eyes rushed to catch Yu Wanzhen.He decided that it was time for Yu Wanzhen to get up at this time.Unexpectedly, instead of seeing Yu Wanzhen, I saw Zhu Ming'an in pajamas sitting on the sofa in the living room drinking coffee.Xing Chuzhi was taken aback for a moment, then walked over and called out to Zhu Mingan: "Hey, isn't this Mingan? When did you come back?"

Zhu Ming'an stood up: "Oh, sir—" Xing Chuzhi laughed and said, "What sir! I am Xing Chuzhi. I used to be the captain of Zheng Dujun's guards. I used to come here..." Liu Ma came over and added: "Mr. Xing is now the deputy chief of the Zhen Guojun, and he also runs military supplies." Zhu Mingan remembered: "Oh, that's right, that's right, we've met before, and I played with your gun before." Xing Chuzhi said: "Did you play with my gun? You kid also stole my gun!" Zhu Ming'an smiled: "It's like what happened yesterday..."

Xing Chuzhi patted Zhu Mingan on the shoulder and sighed: "Yes, yes, four years have passed in a flash, Governor Zheng died, and you have grown into an adult!" Then he said: "How about it, boy, come to our town The army is here to do a job? Be an adjutant first, I can do it." Zhu Ming'an declined, "I'm a student of finance and economics. I'm afraid I won't be able to do your job." Xing Chuzhi exclaimed: "Oh, it would be even better to study finance and economics! You can get a salary in the Zhen Guojun, and just help me speculate in stocks and do business..."

As soon as I said this, there were footsteps on the stairs, and Yu Wanzhen came down from the stairs. Yu Wanzhen stood at the top of the stairs and said: "Good old Xing, I can't find your soul when I need it, and I don't need you anymore, you came here instead!" Xing Chuzhi made an aggrieved look and said, "Why don't you need me? Eighth wife, today is the time when you can use me! Since I'm here, I'll be the one who welcomes Ming An." Yu Wanzhen walked over with arms folded, stood in front of Xing Chuzhi, raised her eyebrows and said, "Isn't it just a meal? We don't care about it!"

Xing Chuzhi salivated and said, "Your Eighth Wife is not fond of it, but Ming An is rare..." He patted Zhu Ming'an on the shoulder, "Ming An and I are old friends—isn't it, Ming An?" Zhu Ming'an smiled embarrassedly: "Deputy Chief Xing, it's really hard to cost you..." Xing Chuzhi said carelessly, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I always have a reason for my work..." Yu Wanzhen said: "It can also be transferred to the official account of the Zhen Guojun, isn't it?" Xing Chuzhi laughed loudly: "The eighth wife has also become smarter!"

But Yu Wanzhen turned her pink face hard: "If you really want to give us Ming'an a chance, you have to pay for it yourself sincerely, otherwise, we won't go!" Xing Chuzhi nodded again and again: "Okay, okay, I will pay for it." Yu Wanzhen then sat down on the sofa in the living room, and asked Xing Chuzhi to sit down as well. Xing Chuzhi sat down and said, "Eighth Wife, I'm here on business. I'm going to Nimic to organize a batch of arms for the Zhen Guojun. At the same time, I also want to hold a preparatory meeting for our Jiangnan Silk Exchange..."

Yu Wanzhen asked lazily, "How many days can you stay here?" Xing Chuzhi said: "Seven or eight days. Anyway, we will leave when we are done. Our students are negotiating and making trouble for Shandong again. The Governor's Mansion is very busy." Yu Wanzhen frowned: "Didn't the negotiation in Shandong happen in May last year? It's been a year, what's going on?" Xing Chuzhi said: "Who knows! I don't know who is behind the student!" Yu Wanzhen said: "It's good for the students to be noisy, otherwise, your life is too easy." He also said: "Anyway, you don't leave within a day or two, and you still have time. Let's talk about Jiangnan affairs when we have time. Today I will I have to help Ming An entertain two friends..."

It was also a coincidence that at this moment, the doorbell rang, Zhu Mingan was startled for a moment, rushed to open the door, and turned to Wanzhen and said, "Auntie, it must be Sun Yaxian and Xu Jiansheng who are here." In the blink of an eye, Zhu Ming'an led two young and handsome men in.The one walking in the front was dressed like a teacher, with a long gown and top hat, and gold-rimmed glasses, and looked quiet; The style of the earthlings. Zhu Mingan introduced to Yu Wanzhen and Xing Chuzhi: "The long shirt is Sun Yaxian, a business reporter from the Huaguang Newspaper; the suit is Xu Jiansheng, an early revolutionary, and now a young and promising industrialist."

Yu Wanzhen said "Jiu Yang" with a smile, and greeted Liu Ma to make tea and serve refreshments. When Mama Liu ran over to Zhang Luo, Yu Wanzhen looked at Sun Yaxian and Xu Jiansheng again and said, "Ming An kept talking about you as soon as he came back yesterday, it seems that you two friends are closer than my aunt!" Sun Yaxian laughed and said: "Where is it, Ming An is still close to you as an aunt! In the past, when we wrote to us, we talked about you every time. Isn't it, Jiansheng?" Xu Jiansheng said: "Isn't it? Ming An refuses to accept others, only accepts you as an aunt." Yu Wanzhen laughed straight: "That's not true! You don't know, but I actually obey him! In this mansion, I am not the head of the house, but Ming An is the head of the house. Even Ming An was like this when I was in Japan, and I often wrote to tell him I, I should be like this, I should be like that..." Zhu Mingan was very comfortable being praised by Yu Wanzhen, so he thought he was really great, lit a cigar and smoked it grandly and said: "Although my little aunt is very smart, she is always a woman, sometimes I have to give She reminds me..." Everyone talked happily, and inadvertently snubbed Xing Chuzhi. Xing Chuzhi felt uncomfortable, looked at Kong Kong and said quietly to Wanzhen: "Eighth Wife, these two are Ming An's guests, let Ming An talk to them, let's go upstairs, I still want to talk to you about Jiangnan Let's discuss!" Yu Wan said really displeased: "You go up first, although I am Ming An's guest, but I am always the host here, and I am Ming An's aunt, so I have to accompany her." Xing Chuzhi had no choice but to say hello to everyone and went upstairs first. Upstairs in the small living room, Xing Chuzhi made himself a cup of Longjing sullenly, sipped it slowly, then took out the gold-lacquered cigarette tray from the cabinet, picked up Yu Wanzhen's special smoking set, and smoked. Xing Chuzhi is very familiar with everything here. When Governor Zheng was not dead, he would come here often, sometimes as the captain of Governor Zheng's bodyguard, with Governor Zheng, and sometimes quietly by himself.Since he had that relationship with his eighth wife Yu Wanzhen three years ago, he has regarded this place as his half home. I can't forget the stormy night three years ago, thinking about it as if it happened right before my eyes.That night, under the order of the old warlord, he gave Yu Wanzhen two packs of Yunnan face, and it was Liu Ma who opened the door.After opening the door, he entered the living room, intending to leave the things to Liu Ma, but unexpectedly, Yu Wanzhen came down from upstairs half naked and sleepy, saying that it was dark and rainy, so he would not leave.She didn't leave, and sneaked into Yu Wanzhen's bedroom through the balcony window just before dawn. Yu Wanzhen was sleeping soundly, her white legs and half of her white body were exposed outside the red satin quilt, which made him very excited.He didn't know what was going on, so he climbed onto Yu Wanzhen's bed and pushed Yu Wanzhen under him.Yu Wanzhen woke up from the dream and cried out, and then he was so frightened that he rolled to the bed and knelt down.Yu Wan was so powerful that she jumped off the bed with bare feet, slapped him, and kept saying that she would report this to Governor Zheng.At that time, he felt that he was in a catastrophe, so he kept kowtowing to Yu Wanzhen, and even kissed Yu Wanzhen's naked instep, asking Yu Wanzhen to forgive him this time. Yu Wan was really angry enough, and said: "Just forgive you, if you dare to do this next time, you must go and talk to Governor Zheng..." Unexpectedly, after that night, Yu Wan really fell in love with him.A month later, when I went to the mansion to deliver crabs, Yu Wanzhen invited him upstairs to talk, and asked him why he was so bold that night?He said that it was all because of the handsome eighth wife.Yu Wanzhen looked at her pretty face in the mirror, as if asking him, but also as if asking herself: "Really?" He said: "Yes." Yu Wanzhen raised her head and smiled at him charmingly. She rushed forward and hugged Yu Wanzhen... After Zheng Dujun's death, Xing Chuzhi wanted to accept Yu Wanzhen as his third concubine—it was very clear that Yu Wan was really rich, and with such a small building, he didn't need him to support him at all, and he could often give some money to her. He, such a concubine, is really impossible to find with a lantern.Therefore, Xing Chuzhi formally told Yu Wanzhen about this matter after the separation. Yu Wan really quit, and asked Xing Chuzhi with a sneer: "Am I born to be a concubine? You despise me too much!" Xing Chuzhi had no choice but to dismiss this idea first, and instead proposed to do business with Yu Wanzhen in partnership to open a silk exchange.According to Xing Chu's wishful thinking, as long as Yu Wanzhen agrees to take out the share of the family property to start a business, everything will be fine in the future - even if Yu Wanzhen does not become his third concubine, she will not be able to escape from his grasp. Yu Wanzhen was really interested in doing business, and had serious talks with him several times, and even invited Hu Quanzhen from Tengda Day and Night Bank as a consultant.It's just that this woman is too cunning, too smart, and too caring, and she quits when money is specifically mentioned. Don't try to take advantage of her, even if you coax her by the pillow. As for him, he needs money so much—especially right now, he needs share capital to set up the Jiangnan Exchange, he needs to repay the 6,000 yuan gambling debt owed to Mr. Zhao, and he can’t delay the money he embezzled last year to buy arms. That's it - if you drag it on, you might have to suffer military law.Therefore, when Xing Chuzhi came this time, he made up his mind: he must get tens of thousands from Yu Wanzhen first. Yu Wanzhen didn't get old, she just talked endlessly with Zhu Ming'an's two friends.The small living room was just upstairs, and the door was open again, so the voices downstairs could be heard clearly.At first, Xing Chuzhi only held the bong to make his own calculations, and didn't listen carefully, and didn't know what was going on next.Later, when I waited impatiently and got too addicted to cigarettes, I paid attention to it, and I was shocked when I heard it: this group of people was also talking about the exchange, about stocks, and they even had a name. "!" But it turns out that Yu Wanzhen has already started to do it, and with so many partners, it's no wonder that she has been hesitating to him... Xing Chuzhi couldn't sit still anymore, put down his teacup and wanted to go downstairs to participate in the planning of the "Far East World Exchange".Unexpectedly, she got up, walked to the stairs, and saw Yu Wanzhen stepping up the stairs to find him.This pretty woman like a porcelain figure walked upstairs holding the handrail of the stairs, while turning to Zhu Ming'an and the others downstairs, she said: "You just start preparing like this. The director of the preparations will be Mr. He first, and I will take care of Mr. He." to say..."
