Chapter 30 Chapter Thirty

On July 9, 1926, the National Revolutionary Army vowed to march north, and the Hang family was really happy that Jiaping could come back. Unexpectedly, his son Jiaping did not come back, and the governor Xia Chao was killed by Sun Chuanfang. This Xia Chao, when he was the governor of Zhejiang Province in 1926, the discord with Sun Chuanfang had reached its peak.As a result, with the secret participation of the Guangdong National Government, on October 16, he declared "Zhejiang Independence", implemented local autonomy, and responded to the National Revolution.Unexpectedly, on the 22nd, Sun Chuanfang's general Song Meicun led an army into Hangzhou, and Xia Chao was arrested and shot.

When Xia Chao fled from Jiaxing back to Hangzhou on a starry night and hid in the villa of the British Mei Tenggen on Baoshi Mountain, a small group of people heard the wind outside and came to inform Lvai.Lu Ai was so anxious that she went straight to Huamu Shenfang, and said to Tianzui, "I heard that the subordinates of Songmei Village are going to enter Hangzhou to search Xia Chao from house to house, what should I do?" "What do you say?" "Find a place to hide." Shen Lvai said, "I have already asked Jiacao to clean up the soft things." "Is there anything to clean up?" Hang Tianzui said, "Can these tea altars be moved away? Can such a Wangyou tea house be moved away? Burn it all down, and nothing will be left!"

"Isn't that still alive?" "What are you dying for?" Hang Tianzui rolled his eyes, "This life is going around in the world, isn't it enough?" Choke a green love speechless.Just not knowing what to do, the concierge sent an urgent note.It turned out to be a personal letter from Wang Zhuzhai, the chairman of the Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce, asking Hang Tianzui to go to a meeting as soon as possible to discuss how to stop Meicun from looting Hangzhou.Tianzui has been playing a false name in the Chaqi Guild Hall, and has not gone to meetings for many years.But the qualifications are there, and the chamber of commerce still makes him a director.When Tianzui saw the letter, he threw it aside without even looking at it, and said, "You're bothering me again, but you're asking for money. How much money you have, you'll give it to Luai! Don't worry, everyone."

Lu Ai knew that it would be useless to discuss this kind of matter with Tianzui, so she held up the letter to find Jiahe, asking Jiahe to go for his father. Jiahe thought to himself, to cater to Laimei Village, how can I do this kind of thing?Then he said: "Mom, what am I, the Chamber of Commerce will take me seriously? This is Dad's business." Fang Xi'an made the sign of the cross in his hand, and said, "Jiahe, why do you say that? It's a mess now, who will come out to speak for the common people? It's still a chamber of commerce, with no party or affiliation, just doing business, and then you'll be able to stand out. Think about it." Look, what if these soldiers and hooligans really burn Hangzhou down? They can do this kind of thing."

When Jiahe heard this, he immediately put on his jacket and ran out, saying as he ran, "Mom, Xi'an, don't sleep tonight, wait for me to come back to hear the news." What came back was not good news: Fang Xileng didn't have the kind of publicity that Fang Xilen was looking forward to, but it was spread out to let everyone contribute. Shen Lv'ai was also surprised when Jiahe agreed to pay three thousand: "Did the other family pay?" "It's all out. I borrowed it! The chamber of commerce will pay it back." Jiahe sat wearily on the grand teacher's chair and said, "Wu Sheng paid out five thousand."

"He gave five thousand because he had a ulterior motive. He wants to use money to buy his name and status. What are you doing with the money?" Fang Xilen said indignantly, "It's not for charity! It's for warlords; You are running a tea farm, not a gold farm or a silver farm! Where are you going to get money?" Hang Jiahe couldn't get angry because of Lv Ai's face, so he patiently explained: "You can't say that, everyone in the city is pinning their hopes on us, and Wang Zhuzhai will leave tomorrow to Jiaxing as a hostage, and come with him Negotiations in Plum Village. If the negotiation fails, his own life will be at stake. If we pay some money, what's the point?"

Fang Xileng said: "He is a family, he is a rich family, rich. Our family is a poor family, how can we be so generous?" Lu Ai was not happy when she heard this. She didn't like this daughter-in-law in the first place, and she thought she would come, so she couldn't listen to it now, and said, "Does the eldest daughter-in-law talk like this? You say my family is poor, you Why are you biting the bullet and wanting to marry into our family, and you can't be driven away if you want to?" When Fang Xilen heard this, she was like thunder. After all, she was born in a scholarly family and an only daughter. Her mother-in-law has always kept her at arm's length. How could she have expected that her mother-in-law would be nothing but a blockbuster.

"God," she screamed, "God, Jia and did you hear that? Did you hear what she said?" "Don't be a fake door of God." As soon as Lu Ai got angry, she simply smashed the jar, "Did God tell you to die? As long as the city of Hangzhou is not burned down, don't say three thousand, thirty thousand Let's go too." Luai stretched her sleeves and took off her Hetian jade silver coin, "Jiahe, you're done, what should you do!" "Jiahe, you useless thing, talk!" Fang Xileng burst into tears, causing Jiacao to run over and quickly persuade Lvai to leave.Unexpectedly, when Xi Leng saw her mother-in-law gone, she kept yelling, "Jiahe, do you still have the backbone? Is it her turn to teach me a lesson? If I want to be punished, it should be my own mother-in-law. What is she?" thing--"

Before the words finished, Jiahe slapped the table heavily: "Shut up and go back to the house!" This time, Fang Xileng was also frightened.But in the end, she was willful, and Jiahe never said a harsh word to her, so she stomped her foot and said, "Okay, I don't need you Hang family to chase me away, I will leave by myself!" At this time, Hang Yi and Hang Pan's sons and daughters were frightened and cried, but Hang Yi cried a little more restrained, and Hang Pan cried a little more recklessly.Fang Xileng tied the one who was crying hard, picked it up and walked away, saying as he walked, "Hang Jiahe, listen, send all my things back to my natal family tomorrow!"

Jiacao was in a hurry, grabbed Fang Xileng and said, "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, you can't go like this! Can't you talk properly if you have something to say?" "What are you doing? Let go!" Fang Xileng yelled, his voice was bright and loud, shaking the mansion of Wangyoulou, and then hurriedly walked out. "Big brother, big brother..." Jiacao grabbed Jiahe's hand again anxiously, Jiahe put down the teacup in his hand heavily, and said, "Let her go." When Fang Xilen was walking in the alley with Hang Pan in his arms, she was just confused, but when she asked the porter to open the door, she still thought of waiting a little longer, if her husband came to call her at this time, she would still go back.On the one hand, Fang Xileng is quite nervous, but on the other hand, he is also very rational.

However, during the whole process from opening the gate to calling the carriages and horses from the porter, Wangyoulou Mansion was silent, it was quiet, as if dismissive of her attack, and seemed to ruthlessly kill her. Picked out.Fang Xileng started a cold war. It was the first time she thought of Wangyou Tea House after being married for six years. Sometimes it is really a cold place. A few days later, Hang Jiahe and his business colleagues mobilized all walks of life in Hangzhou to go to the station to welcome the warlords to Meicun, so as to protect Hangzhou from military love.Before leaving, his father-in-law Fang Boping came to the door and had a private meeting with his son-in-law. Weng and his son-in-law have always been polite, like educated businessmen in the trading market.But the father-in-law was already prepared in his heart.When the daughter returned to her mother's house crying in the middle of the night with her granddaughter in her arms, the mother-in-law was taken aback. She spoke with her daughter about her enemies, but she lost her mind.Seeing no movement from her husband, she said, "Why don't you say a word of justice? Who is my daughter, and she is angry when she is told by their tea seller's family? People like us marry into their tea seller's family." , it was a matter of grievance—" The husband stopped his wife and said, "What kind of talk is this! Is it something that a well-educated family said? I don't need to ask. You know what kind of spoiled daughter you are?" "You know how to praise my uncle. I don't see what's so good about this uncle who is neither yin nor yang? You can get three thousand with a loose finger! It seems that he still has a few three thousand to leak. If this continues, I will see this building Sooner or later, the mansion will be taken away by others—" "Short-sightedness! Women are bad because of their long hair and short-sightedness." The father ignored his daughter as he said this, and walked away. The daughter is too headstrong, and the son-in-law might as well teach her a lesson. He didn't expect his son-in-law to teach him endlessly.For several days, the Fang family was waiting for Jiahe to visit, but there was no sign of him for several days.That morning, Attorney Fang finally couldn't take it anymore and went to the door in person, but was blocked by his son-in-law at the door, so their private meeting was actually completed on the road. "You go out." The father-in-law said. "Go out." "That's right, turn a corner and bring Hang Pan back." "Whenever they want to come back, they come back by themselves." "Jiahe." Attorney Fang was a little displeased, "It's almost done, it's time for Sireng to step down." Jiahe said lightly: "Father, after all these years, are there still few steps for her?" Fang Boping was stunned for a moment, his face became hot, and he was secretly surprised. It turned out that this kid knew in his heart that he still remembered the turmoil before and after his marriage.He thought that he had underestimated his son-in-law. "Jiahe, I know Sireng is headstrong." "Not capricious." "what is that?" "She never really knew our Hang family." Jiahe said, keeping her eyes on the front. "She misunderstood our Hang family." "It's serious." Fang Boping said. "Dad, I'm going to the train station. I have something to do. Let's talk about it later." "You go to the train station? You go to meet the warlord?" "It's not the same thing as meeting a warlord. I'm going to pick up the head of the trade union. He was taken hostage by Songmei Village, and he came back from Jiaxing in the same car—" Fang Boping stomped his feet quietly: "Jiahe, you are so confused! The Northern Expeditionary Army is coming soon." "But the Northern Expeditionary Army hasn't come yet." Jiahe said, "Those people can do anything with murder and arson, and someone has to stop them." "That shouldn't be you." Fang Boping pulled his beard in anger, "The National Revolutionary Army is about to attack, why don't you sell your tea and wait for them to come, why are you going to join in the fun? That's all, go down to greet Lai Meicun in broad daylight—you, why are you so confused?" "I'm not going to pick up Plum Village, I'm going to pick up Wang Zhuzhai." "I don't allow you to pick up Wang Zhuzhai!" Fang Boping shouted, and the voice rang. Jiahe was taken aback by his father-in-law's voice. He had never thought that his father-in-law had such a voice.It turns out that the daughter still resembles the father. Jiahe took out his pocket watch, looked at it, and said, "I have to go." As soon as the rickshaw driver ran hard, Fang Boping was thrown on the road.This father-in-law has only experienced the demeanor of a son-in-law today. Jiahe didn't think that there was some unexplainable reason for his insistence on going to meet Wang Zhuzhai.It seems that fate is arranged like this: it makes you quarrel with Xi Bian, let Sireng go back to your mother's house, let your father-in-law come to add fuel to the fire, and let you feel that you can go to the train station or not, but you have to go.You went, but you didn't accompany Wang Zhuzhai back to the chamber of commerce.You meet a boy you've never seen before and a woman you instantly recognize at the train station. It seems that Jiahe has really changed a lot.Maybe he is too well-dressed, maybe his expression is so solemn that people dare not look up seriously.In short, when the woman bowed deeply to him and asked him in pure Mandarin how to get to the road at Yangbatou, she never expected that the person she was asking was actually the young master of Hang Tianzui's boss back then Hang Jiahe. Jiahe recognized her at a glance.Unable to tell what the reason was, his scalp tightened all of a sudden, and his gaze was suppressed because he was afraid of touching something. But he looked up anyway, and he looked at the young woman.She was wearing a kimono, and the boy she was holding by her slender hand seemed to be only four or five years old.When Jiahe saw the boy, his heart moved violently, a kind of gratitude and kindness mixed with melancholy and bitterness rushed up violently. "Are you going to Yangbatou?" He asked softly. "Yes, sir," said the woman. "Are you going to Wangyou Tea House?" "Yes, sir." The woman raised her head and looked at Jiahe with some doubts. Jiahe silently took off his top hat and his gold-rimmed glasses.The young Japanese woman rushed a few steps suddenly, then stopped gracefully, bowed deeply to Jiahe, pushed the child up, and said a series of Japanese to her son.The child boldly stood at attention, took out half of a black porcelain teacup, pointed the word "Yu" to Jiahe, and said in Chinese clearly and crisply: "Uncle, my name is Hang Han, and my father is Hang Jiaping. His mother's name is Haneda Yezi, and my grandfather lives in Wangyou Tea House in China, and his name is Hang Tianzui." The experience of Hang Jiaping, an officer of the Northern Expedition Army, has been rough and simple over the years. Seven years have passed since I left my hometown of Hangzhou after the first division movement in the spring of 1920.During this period, he first organized a work-study group in Beijing, then went to France for a work-study program, and then transferred to Tokyo, Japan to enter the Armed Forces Academy.During this period, Zhong met the girl Ye Zi.at this time.Ye Zi has been learning the Liganjia tea ceremony for several years in the home built by her father.The reunion of two childhood sweethearts is also very interesting.That day, it turned out that her father took Ye Zi to go on a blind date. Ye Zi bowed her head and walked in small steps. She always felt that there was a young man following her. She couldn't help but look back. She froze for a moment. Seeing her stunned, the young man thought for a while, and took out a cardboard box from his bag, which contained half a teacup. He stretched out the side with the word "御" on the bottom of the cup towards her, and the two of them fought together. "It's you, Jiaping! I don't even recognize you." Ye Zi said. "I can't even recognize you. You look so beautiful." The two of them were talking enthusiastically, and Haneda was calmly coping with it. He was wary of the Chinese youth who used to drive him away with a three-section stick, but he also had a bit of respect. He didn't want to disturb them.As a result, when he went to visit the man's family, only the matchmaker was left.The matchmaker said: "The girl who practiced the tea ceremony had a heated argument with the Chinese people. We all saw it. I have nowhere to put my face!" Just by accident, this marriage was messed up. Jiaping and Ye Zi actually eloped.The whole process is legendary and romantic, not like it happened in Japan.Mr. Haneda felt so humiliated that even the tea master was unwilling to continue doing it.He never thought that Ye Zi would elope. Jiaping only came to propose to him once, and he didn't even sit down.He was wearing the uniform of the Armed Forces Academy, standing in the open courtyard, and suddenly said: "Mr. Haneda, please allow me to marry Miss Ye Zi as my wife." Mr. Haneda was very surprised and said, "You Chinese, do you all propose like this?" Jiaping smiled, showing his white teeth: "It's not that we all propose in this way in China, but Hang Jiaping, who is a Chinese, proposes like this." Haneda went back and said to Ye Zi: "Don't associate with Jiaping in the future, I will not allow you to marry him." "Why? Father, because he is Chinese?" Haneda shook his head and said, "Because he has nothing to fear." "Be fearless, okay?" "Being fearless will lead you and your loved ones to hell." "Father, I don't understand, isn't Kan Rikyu fearless?" "So he committed seppuku." Ye Zi thought about it quietly, and suddenly said: "Father, I understand. You are not a real tea person." Haneda was surprised and annoyed.Ye Zi is not like a standard Japanese girl, she has stayed in China for too long.The Hang family must be a rare family in China.In this mansion of Wangyoulou, women live powerfully, while men are gentle and gentle, without violence, but free in spirit and unconstrained.Perhaps, they are like this, and they have developed a fearlessness in the face of big things.Haneda loves his only daughter very much, but is always sad about her being too frank and emotionally inclined to China. He never thought that Ye Zi eloped with Jiaping so quickly.In fact, they lived in the same city, but Haneda couldn't see Ye Zi.He didn't want to see her either. Jiaping is so bold and reckless in everything he does, without fear.He settled the leaves, and the two were happily married.That night, Ye Zi was shy and didn't know what to do. Jiaping came out of the shower, knelt down in front of Ye Zi, and said, "Let me see, let me see, what does it look like?" He sculls on the left and right, and sculls Ye Zi's shoulders. The smooth shoulders are shiny and satin-like, and the breasts are like bunnies, white with red eyes. Jiaping couldn't help exclaiming: "Yezi, you've grown so big." Ye Zi was shy at first, but now she couldn't help laughing and said, "Bad thing! When did you see it?" "You saw it when you were at our house! You took a shower and the window was left open, so I saw it. The bunny is still very small." "What, did you really see it?" Ye Zi jumped up and covered her face again, "You lied to me!" "How did you lie to you? My name is Jiahe and I came to see it." "He saw it too?" "Of course I saw it." Jiaping was still very proud, "But he is too complicated, he won't let me see it after just a glance, he closed the window tightly, and pulled the hook solemnly, not letting me say anything." "Oh, oh, you, what should I do." Ye Zi covered her face, half naked, and fell on the tatami. "What is there to do? There is nothing to do but marry me." Jiaping rushed forward and got into a mess with Ye Zi.He'd never had sex, didn't know what it was, and he'd never even touched a woman's little finger.Of course, this is not to say that he has not shaken a woman's hand.During the days when he and Miss Fang Xilen called each other comrades, they often shook hands. Sometimes Miss Fang Xilen shivered from hot to cold, Jiaping was very strange.Jiaping knew that Miss Fang Xilen had a crush on him.But he felt nothing for her.Unlike Ye Zi, when he saw Ye Zi, he wanted to swallow her in one gulp. Two innocent young people who can't make love, laughed, made noise and nervously tossed all night, finally figured out what's going on between men and women.They sleep on each other's necks, like two swans, they don't care what happens tomorrow. When Hang Han was one year old, Jiaping returned to China and went to Guangzhou. Before leaving, he said: "Yezi, wait, I will come to pick you up." Ye Zi knelt on the tatami and did not speak.Jiaping already knew her well, and she just talked when she didn't say anything. After thinking about it, he found out the word "御" and said, "Seeing things is like seeing people." When Hang Han was four years old, Ye Zi received a letter from Jiaping. It turned out that the Northern Expedition was about to begin, and it turned out that Jiaping was still alive. Ye Zi held her child and went to visit her father three days before leaving Japan.When she walked into the open courtyard, her father was wearing a kimono with a warm cloth over his chest, walking up and down on the cobbled ground, taking the wet cloth to suck the dust in the air.Ye Zi looked very familiar with this action. Seeing her daughter, Haneda stopped and said, "Are you back?" The daughter pushed the child to her lap and said nervously, "This is my son." "I know this is your son." The wet cloth that Haneda was wearing fell off.He walked over and hugged Hang Han. "Grandpa." He said. "Grandpa." Hang Han said. "Like his father," Haneda said to his daughter, "he was bold." The daughter said again: "I want to go back to Hangzhou." My father was stunned again, picked up the wet cloth, stuck it to his chest, and walked around the yard without saying a word. "My distant relatives from Kyoto are coming for a while." He said, "I want to move to Kyoto." The daughter was silent for a moment, and said, "It's good to go there, someone will take care of you." Haneda sighed and asked, "Do you have to go to Hangzhou?" "Sure." "What... do you like about this Chinese man?" "...don't be afraid," said the daughter. Haneda thought for a moment and said, "He might make his son an orphan." Ye Zi also thought about it, raised her head, and said, "Yes, it's possible." "Then, I have nothing to say." The father and daughter knelt down in front of the niche.There is a large basin of clear water on the table, which is filled in a large tile-blue shallow wash basin, which contains pebbles at the bottom, and there is no trace of green. They performed a tea ceremony.When the father held the teacup to his daughter with both hands, the daughter stuck to her lips where the father had chewed, and then called her son to stick to her lips where she had sucked. In any case, 1927 can be said to be a special year.Even the natural world of that year was hinted at by the society. As a complementary presentation, it gave the Hangzhou people who were so excited that year an unexpectedly warm spring.On the iron-green old leaves of tea camellia in the outskirts of Hangzhou, the buds bloomed ahead of time, and finally opened their tongues like sparrows. After a night of spring breeze, they became densely packed and light green, and the flowers became waves one after another. On the Shili Langbai Ridge, a long and magnificent tea belt spreads out, with green sleeves and long dances, reaching the distance.
