Chapter 28 chapter eight

The seventh young master respects two people the most, one is the young master Deren who left home six years ago, and the other is Yuan Jizhi. After the eldest young master Deren left home, he went to a university in Beijing, participated in the student movement, and beat the head of education in the capital, which made the seventh young master very admired.The seventh young master always thought that if he also left home and entered a university in Beijing, he might dare to pick a useless chief to beat him up.After the young master hit the head of the education department, the limelight came to an end. At that time, the three newspapers in the province all published the young master's photo, and all the foreign students in the city would give a thumbs up when the young master was mentioned.The students in several schools in the city also learned to make trouble. They couldn't find the head of education to beat them, so they wanted to beat the old man who was the warlord.The old man became angry, he slapped the table and ordered to arrest him, and he was arrested three hundred and two in one night.Later, whenever I talked about Deren with my family, I shook my head and sighed, scolded Deren for not learning well, and said that there were two most hopeless things in Hao's family-the eldest young master Deren and the seventh young master Dexian, a natural killer , a useless waste.The seventh young master saw that the old man compared himself with Deren, and he was extremely proud. He believed that Deren was a hero, so he himself was a hero.

However, what makes the Seventh Young Master quite sad is that the Eldest Young Master is too arrogant, he is a hero himself, and he is unwilling to admit that others are heroes.When the Eldest Young Master and the Seventh Young Master communicated, they always had to teach the Seventh Young Master a lesson, and asked the Seventh Young Master to quit smoking opium and become a healthy and progressive new citizen.Three months ago, he said in the letter that if he made up his mind, he could leave the feudal lair of Hao Mansion and come to Hankou where he was looking for a job, and he could urge him to quit smoking.

The Seventh Young Master was displeased, but he was still moved—not because he was determined to quit smoking, but because he wanted to see the scenery in Hankou.So I sent a letter back to the young master, saying that I will go after the autumn cool, and ask the young master to send three hundred yuan of money first.What a smart young master, how could he do such an unrealistic thing?He ignored it, and the seventh young master took the letter from the eldest young master and asked his mother, the fourth wife, for a hundred dollars.But in the end, he didn't go to Hankou, and gave the one hundred yuan to the smoke shop as usual, and then he didn't dare to mention the matter of smoking cessation in Hankou to the young master.

The seventh young master respects the young master, but he is a little afraid of the young master in his heart.Fortunately, the young master is always far away, and the fear of the distance is not very compelling. Yuan Jizhi was different.Yuan Jizhi is really capable, and it doesn't make people look intimidated.Yuan Jizhi himself does not smoke opium, but he does not object to others smoking.Yuan Jizhi said that this is a good time, although chaos is chaos, but it emphasizes freedom and democracy. If you want to smoke opium, you have the freedom to smoke opium. As long as you have money, no one can control it.But the problem is that the Seventh Young Master has no money, so it is often difficult to enjoy this freedom.

The more money he had, the more the Seventh Young Master couldn't do without Yuan Jizhi—Yuan Jizhi always had money, as long as Yuan Jizhi walked around the official street in Tongrenli, he could get a hundred and ten yuan, which made the Seventh Young Master admire him all over. The seventh young master didn't know where Yuan Jizhi's money came from at first, but later he got to know that the money was given by the aunts and wives in various mansions, and he became more and more convinced of Yuan Jizhi, feeling that he could be promoted by Yuan Jizhi It is very happy to be a good friend who never changes his head.

After Yuan Jizhi hooked up with the tenth wife Nan Rulin, the seventh young master was not surprised, but Yuan Jizhi asked him to help, and he was a little embarrassed, thinking, it doesn't matter if he helps Yuan Jizhi get other women, Nan Rulin is always his old man's concubine anyway, It's hard to justify doing it yourself.Yuan Jizhi said, this is called free love, which is very normal, but it is not normal for their old man to lock so many young and beautiful concubines in the deep house compound! The seventh young master remembered the words of the young master Deren. As Deren said, the Hao mansion is a feudal lair, declining and decaying, like a building that is about to collapse, and young people with hope should stay away. .That being the case, this favor can help—help Shi Niang Nan Rulin stay away, Shi Niang is also a young man!Maybe Shi Niang won Yuan Jizhi's heart, and it's unknown if the old man dies and Yuan Jizhi will grow old together.

The Seventh Young Master helped, thinking he had done a good deed. As a result, both Yuan Jizhi and Nan Rulin treated the Seventh Young Master well and often gave him money.Yuan Jizhi was rich, and he always gave thirty or fifty yuan, but Nan Rulin had no money, and he always gave ten or eight yuan.The seventh young master actually had some extra money, so he thought of quitting smoking as an excuse to go to Hankou's young master to play. The Fourth Wife, the mother of the Seventh Young Master, will not be fooled this time, saying that going to Hankou to quit smoking is a good thing, but there is no money to ask for, so I can only book a ticket for you.The Seventh Young Master was wronged, and he had some money on hand, so he didn't care about it, and immediately followed his mother's wishes, and asked Captain Wang of the guard team to book a seat in the first-class carriage.

Unexpectedly, just after getting the ticket, the young master Deren came back with a female student. That day, the Seventh Young Master was walking the birds at the gate of the mansion, and he saw the Eldest Young Master first.The seventh young master didn't dare to recognize him—the eldest young master was much thinner than when he left home six years ago, and he was dressed poorly. His blue jacket was very old and faded, and the white leather shoes under his feet were open, like a The only new thing about the child's mouth is the oiled-paper umbrella under his armpit.The female student who came with the young master was cleaner than the young master, but they were not extravagant. They wore a red and blue plaid scarf and a light green cloth burqa. hair.When the Eldest Young Master and the female student were walking towards the gate of the mansion, the Seventh Young Master glanced at them and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

The eldest young master smiled: "Little Seven, I am your elder brother!" The Seventh Young Master took a closer look and found that he was the eldest brother. He was so happy that he rushed to welcome the young master into the house, yelling everywhere that the young master had returned, and led the whole family to the living room in the front yard. The second wife, the young master's mother, cried when she saw the young master and hugged her, and the young master also wiped away tears.The brothers and sisters also cried and laughed, and all of them said that they dreamed that their eldest brother would come back.The wives who were acquainted with each other rushed to talk to the young master. The ninth wife, Ruifang, and the tenth wife, Nan Rulin, came in late. They had never seen the young master before, so they just stood aside and watched. The eldest wife Hao Keshi also had a sullen face. make a sound.

Later, Hao Keshi spoke up, pointing to the ninth wife, Ruifang, and the tenth wife, Nan Rulin, and said, "Deren, this is your Jiu Niang and Shi Niang. Those of you who have never seen each other are here today, so let's meet together." !" The eldest young master looked at Ruifang, then at Nan Rulin, and said with a smile: "I heard that the seventh brother mentioned you in the letter, it seems that you have all studied and have some knowledge, don't you?" Ruifang said: "Eldest young master, I can't compare to you. We just read some "Daughter's Book" at home, and it's out of fashion now."

Nan Rulin also greeted and said: "How is it that the young master is away all the time? We have never met the young master, but we always hear about the young master from the family, saying that the young master..." Hao Keshi kept sullen, Nan Rulin didn't dare to speak anymore. The young master stared at Nan Rulin's face and asked, "What are you talking about?" Nan Rulin said in a perfunctory way: "Yeah... didn't say anything, I just said that the young master is smart and capable..." The Seventh Young Master interrupted and said: "Brother, that's not true, the family members always call you a murderer, dare to beat the chief executive in the capital!" The young master laughed loudly, "The boss should be beaten! Even if I don't fight, others will too! Besides, I'm not the only one who beat the boss..." The Seventh Young Master followed suit and shouted: "Yes, I will fight if I have to! If I go with my elder brother, I will also fight." The fourth wife gave the seventh young master a blank look: "Why do you want to coax me!" At this time, Hao Keshi gave a dry cough and spoke again: "Deren, have you seen your Jiuniang and Shiniang?" The second wife was most afraid of Hao Keshi, knowing that Hao Keshi blamed her son for not showing respects to Ruifang and Nan Rulin, so she also peeked at Hao Keshi timidly, and said to the young master: "Quickly give you Jiuniang, Shiniang." kowtow!" The young master was very embarrassed, he looked at Ruifang and then at Nan Rulin, he hesitated for a long time but did not bend his knees.Then he blushed, pulled the foreign student he had brought, bowed to Ruifang, and then to Nan Rulin, and said: "Our classmates made an agreement when we left the university. From now on, we can't Feudal kowtow ceremony. Nine Niangs and Ten Niangs will accept this bow from me and Yuwei!" The ninth wife, Ruifang, and the tenth wife, Nan Rulin, didn't say anything, but Hao Keshi was annoyed. He gave the second wife a bitter look, got up and left without saying a word. After Hao Keshi left, the living room became even more lively.The young master introduced the foreign student he had brought to everyone and said: "This Miss Liu Yuwei is my wife who loves freely, and she also beat the chief with me!" The Seventh Young Master looked Liu Yuwei up and down, his face was full of surprise, "Sister-in-law is so powerful, if I don't tell you, I really can't see it!" Liu Yuwei just laughed and didn't speak. Seventh Young Master said again: "Sister-in-law, why are you still wearing a scarf when you're inside? Quickly untie it." The young master hastily stepped forward and untied the small red and blue plaid scarf that Liu Yuwei was wearing. The fifth young master said: "Look, elder brother treats elder sister well and doesn't shy away from others!" The Seventh Young Master said: "Fifth Brother, what do you know! This is called freedom and equality, the most fashionable thing! The gentlemen in the capital wash their wives' trousers and pour out the chamber pot - don't they, Big Brother?" Everyone in the room froze for a moment, then laughed. Nan Rulin and Ruifang bent over laughingly. The seventh young master didn't mean to be joking, he was very serious when he spoke, so he got anxious, Zi asked the eldest young master with a blushing face: "Brother, just say it, don't you?" The eldest young master scratched his forehead and said: "I don't know, anyway, I haven't washed your sister-in-law's trousers, let alone poured the night pot." The seventh young master was still dissatisfied, and wanted to ask more questions, but the fourth wife stepped on his foot severely. Then we got down to business.The young master said that it is not easy to mess around outside these days, so he worked as an engineer on the Hankou Railway because of favors, and this time he came home on a business trip, first to visit his mother, second to pick up the seventh young master, and to stop smoking in Hankou .The second wife asked, how long can I stay this time?The young master said that as long as the old man does not come back, he will stay for a few more days, and if the old man comes back, he will leave early, so as not to make the old man angry again after meeting. Nan Rulin, who hadn't spoken much, said: "It's rare for the young master to come back, so it's better to stay longer, even if the master comes back, he won't be afraid. No matter what happened, it happened so many years ago, master How can you care about it?" The eldest young master sighed and said, "Shi Niang, you don't know what happened between me and my father. He wished he could kill me at that time. As for me, although I have some regrets after many years, I still believe that I am Dalu is a good way, and I don’t want to give in to him.” Nan Rulin said again: "You won't lose face if you give in. He is your father anyway." Only then did the young master say: "Let's talk about this later, it's not like leaving tomorrow." Seeing the young master and sister-in-law in their attire, the seventh young master already knew that his elder brother and sister-in-law were not doing well outside, and he was not interested in going to Hankou anymore, so he also hoped that the young master would stay at home for a few more days and play with everyone. He also said: "Brother and sister-in-law should stay for a few more days, or our brothers and sisters can't remember your appearance clearly, and we won't recognize you when we walk across." The Eldest Young Master smiled and slapped the Seventh Young Master on the chest: "The only one who doesn't know us is you, the Little Seventh." Turning around, he introduced to Liu Yuwei, "This Little Seventh has been a little confused since he was a child. I can't recognize his Ba Niang, and always regard Ba Niang as his second sister." Mrs. Eight blushed a little: "Isn't that right, I have been beaten a lot!" But Liu Yuwei said: "It's no wonder that the seventh brother has too many mothers." This made everyone unhappy, but the first time we met, it was not easy to make trouble in front of the second wife, and several older wives—including the fourth wife found excuses and left. This made the second wife very uneasy, so the second wife said to Liu Yuwei: "Girl, this place is not as good as outside, you have to be careful when you speak!" Liu Yuwei didn't know where she was wrong, Liu Ye raised her eyebrows and asked the young master: "Deren, what did I say wrong?" The eldest young master looked at his mother, then at Liu Yuwei, rubbed his hands in embarrassment, and said, "Yeah, there's nothing wrong with that. Mother said this for your own good, just to remind you." She said to Liu Yuwei with a wry smile, "You see! This is my home, it's lively but lively, and there are rules." Nan Rulin and Ruifang noticed that when the young master said this, the second wife's face was very sad.
