Golden Scale Club [Republic of China + Jiang Chengyan X Mu Bingci]

Mu Bingci opened his eyelids slightly, looked at him in a daze, then pulled his arm back and put it on his lap.

Jiang Chengyan sighed slightly: "Bingci, I'm not in a hurry recently, I'm really sorry. I heard that you want to be a teacher in a university, please give me some time to think about it. If it is feasible later, I will arrange it for you. Do you want to Which school are you going to?"

Mu Bingci closed his eyes and didn't answer. He didn't know whether he was immersed in closed thoughts and didn't perceive the people around him, or he was demonstrating against Jiang Chengyan by giving up on himself. At this time, he was enjoying the sense of accomplishment of torturing and destroying each other.

Jiang Chengyan's several hours of filtering just now have suppressed the grief and desolation in the evening, and he showed a patient and lenient attitude towards Mu Bingci.There was silence for a while, and he said in a good voice: "You want to find something to do, I agree very much. If a person can't find his own value in life, time is wasted, and he is wasting the energy that supports life .I don't disagree with you teaching at the university, I just want to give you some advice-"

Just after saying this, Mu Bingci suddenly opened his eyes and stared at him, interrupted and said, "What suggestion do you want to make? Your suggestion is nothing more than not allowing me to do this, not allowing me to do that. Your tongue I’m tired of hearing the great truth about Canlianhua. Don’t you just want to find a reason to suppress me? Don’t say anything, just take an iron chain and lock me up!”

When two people communicate and talk, the most fearful thing is that only one person speaks while the other avoids it. This method will definitely not work.Although the listener didn't object, he didn't accept it at all.If Mu Bingci opened the attitude gate like this, Jiang Chengyan would be able to swim against the current instead.

Jiang Chengyan smiled and said: "Don't be angry, I don't want to stop you this time. I am more afraid that you will torture yourself to death than I am afraid of you leaving. Bing Ci, I think very clearly, everything I did The starting point is to think of you, so I should put your needs first. If I keep you, I can only watch you die slowly, and I am more willing to give you freedom within my reach. Bingci, I just want to say two points, you just listen."

Mu Bingci stared fixedly at Jiang Chengyan with his dull eyes, as if trying to tell how credible his words were.After a while, he reluctantly nodded and said, "Say it."

Jiang Chengyan said softly: "First of all, you must get rid of your drug addiction. Not to mention that this thing hurts your health, how many people have ended up in miserable death; secondly, no matter what work you go out for, others will Seeing that you are a drug addict, everyone avoids you and belittles you, which has an extremely bad influence on your society, let alone your job as a teacher. The second point is that you want to be a teacher for a while, and that’s okay. It’s just that you need to think carefully about it. Is the teacher a temporary solution, or is it a job that you are very passionate about? Once you decide that it is what you really like, you can invest in it happily for a long time, which will really make you happy Happy choice."

Mu Bingci sneered and said, "The thing I really love and love is leading soldiers to fight. Do you want me to go?"

These words were deliberately trying to block Jiang Chengyan and embarrass him, but Jiang Chengyan just sighed softly and said: "Bing Ci, you don't like to lead troops to fight in your heart. I fully agree that you are indeed very talented in leading troops, but this Not something you like."

Jiang Chengyan held down Mu Bingci's arm as he spoke, and also blocked his words that he wanted to refute.

"If you really have military ambitions, how could you have been avoiding the burden of the family in the past? Although your father also does not want you to participate in military affairs, but Bing Ci, you are a very smart child, and you actually know your father's attitude very well. , so you don’t object to Yanqiu coming to take over his class, right? So you are willing to leave Huizhou, and even stay in Shanghai. If it weren’t for such a big change in your family, you would never have taken a step into military affairs. From Zhejiang to Beiping to Xi'an, you want to lead troops to fight with all your heart and soul, but in fact you are paying for your guilt, it is atonement. You feel deeply guilty about your father, sister and Yanqiu, thinking that they all died because of you, for them You are willing to give up the life you want to carry the burden for the Mu family. Bingci, I feel sorry for you like this."

"But I have no reason to ask you not to do this, because I have not suffered the pain of bereavement like you, so I cannot make decisions for you. Now you are not allowed to participate in the military. Of course there are political reasons, and I can only persuade you to be lenient On the other hand, if you live your best life, it is also the best consolation for the loss of a loved one. And this best appearance must be based on your devotion to the career you really like, and it is true to your inner feelings .When committed to this career, you have an inexhaustible life force, driven by your heart, and mold you into the person you want to be."

"Bing Ci, please think about it carefully. Don't think about expediency, what kind of career you really want to do. When you figure it out, I will help you achieve your wish. Before that, we Get rid of drug addiction first, Bing Ci, you can definitely do it. No matter how hard it is, I will accompany you."

Mu Bingci quietly half-lyed in the rocking chair and didn't speak, but looked at Jiang Chengyan with complicated eyes.He didn't say any more tit-for-tat words, as if he had listened to Jiang Chengyan's words, the dry corners of his eyes became red and wet.

Jiang Chengyan gently stroked his fingers, and chuckled: "I won't leave tonight. Go to sleep, I'll watch over you."

Then Jiang Chengyan asked Lu Chaosheng to arrange for Mu Bingci to move back to the villa on Fuxi Road. Because he wanted to take care of Mu Bingci's detoxification, Jiang Chengyan arranged all the business affairs in the villa.After all, Chongming Island Road is far away and inconvenient. If you have to go to Nanjing for the office, Fuxi Road will be beneficial after all.

At the end of July, Jiang Chenghan came to visit Jiang Chengyan once.At that time, Jiang Chenghan had already sold all his domestic property and planned to emigrate abroad with his daughter.Before leaving, come say goodbye to Jiang Chengyan.The domestic situation is not good, and the Japanese war is imminent. Jiang Chengyan disclosed the news to Jiang Chenghan, and asked him to consider whether to go or stay.

In the end Jiang Chenghan decided to leave.

Jiang Chengyan nodded: "When will the second brother leave?"

Jiang Chenghan said: "It's the day after tomorrow. I bought the plane ticket, and it's just me and my daughter, and the servants have already been dismissed. I didn't bring much."

After a pause, he added: "Actually, I didn't necessarily have to leave. If I was alone, I would never leave Qinxue so far away. It's just that now that I have a child, I have to think more about her. It's really a big deal in China. In the end, the children will be affected after all. This is the only thing I can do for Qinxue."

Jiang Chengyan naturally understood his feelings, it was not an easy choice after all to be thousands of miles away from home.However, many things cannot be unique and beautiful. It is more of a balance between the two phases, what fruit to seek, what cause to plant, and what suffering to suffer.If you want to ensure the safety of future generations, you have to suffer from the pain of separation, and the fallen leaves will not return to their roots.

Jiang Chengyan said: "When you go to the United States, be careful. If you go there and need money, just tell me. No matter how chaotic the country is, there will always be telegrams. Don't make yourself miserable."

Jiang Chenghan's eyes were a little red. After parting, people are always very fragile.He pressed the corners of his eyes with his palms unnaturally, and forced a smile: "It will be so miserable somewhere. I will settle down there, and I will always find some business. At that time, I will write to you. But You, now still-"

Jiang Chenghan sighed, hesitated for a while, and finally spit out the following words: "Chengyan, do you still remember how the sister-in-law disappeared?"

When Jiang Chengyan heard him mention this old matter suddenly, he naturally knew what he meant.Can't help smiling bitterly: "Of course I remember. Second brother, are you trying to remind me to beware of elder brother? Do you also think that elder brother is the kind of person who can do anything?"

Speaking of Jiang Chengbo's first wife, the Helan family, she was also the niece and daughter of a certain prince in the old dynasty system.At that time, the Jiang family was in trouble, and Jiang Chengbo tried every means to marry the Helan family. Relying on the remnants of the old connections of the declining Helan family, he started a business with the Beiyang government.Later, he entered the government to serve, which brought the Jiang family back to the list of famous families.After Jiang Chengbo became the Minister of Finance, he had a close relationship with Prime Minister Mu Qishan.Once when he accompanied Mu Qishan back to his hometown to visit relatives, he met Mu Qinxue, a girl from the Mu family's boudoir in Huizhou.

Somehow the Helan family knew about this, and the Helan family quarreled with him every day, so Jiang Chengbo had to move out to live alone.During those days, it was rumored that He Lan's mind was a little unclear, and one day he went to Jiang Chengbo's residence to look for him, but for some reason he slipped and fell into the well and drowned.

Jiang Chengbo was heartbroken because of this, because his deceased wife kept his filial piety, and he was willing to give up the marriage with Mu's family.Half a year later, Jiang Chengbo persuaded Mu Qishan to marry Miss Mu for Jiang Chenghan.

At this time, recalling the trifles of the past, we all know that Jiang Chengbo's so-called keeping filial piety and abandoning in-laws is killing two birds with one stone.One is that he restored his reputation after He Lan's death, and set up a moral monument of affection and righteousness; the other is that Jiang Chenghan's proposal to marry Mu Qin came naturally, and the Mu family was still under the control of the Jiang family after all.Jiang Chengbo worked every step of the way, never failing at every step.

Jiang Chenghan said: "The dowry girl next to my sister-in-law back then went crazy for no reason after her death. Everyone in the Helan family rumored that something strange happened that day. Chengyan, I can't believe that my elder brother can really do such a thing. But elder brother acted Always put his own interests first, and I'm not sure that my elder brother must not have done this. Now that I'm leaving, I didn't help you much in the past, and I won't take care of you in the future. You—be careful yourself. Ten thousand people You can't believe everything, you have to take care of yourself more."

Jiang Chengyan said: "This is also the reason why I don't want to get caught in the political situation. Thank you for reminding me, my second brother, I will pay attention. You leave the day after tomorrow, and I will see you off."

The two talked in the study for half the night, and Jiang Chenghan didn't get up until the sky was light and left.

On the day Jiang Chenghan left Shanghai, Jiang Chengyan went to see him off in person, and Mu Bingci was watching an opera in the theater.Since Jiang Chengyan talked with him that time, the guards have relaxed a little bit. For example, watching operas and other activities are no longer reserved by Jiang's family. A group of guards surround the theater.

Sitting next to Mu Bingci was a small man in a neat suit with a mustache who twirled his fingers from time to time.It doesn't look very hygienic.Mu Bingci still has the problem of cleanliness. The little man leaned on the armrest close to him and couldn't stop twisting his beard. He didn't pay attention at first, but when he realized that the man's oily head was almost rubbing against his shoulder, he immediately felt his whole body Goosebumps are up.

After holding back for a few times, I finally couldn't help it, and said to him in a low voice: "Excuse me, move away a little."

Mustache turned his head to look at him, smiled indifferently, and Mung Dou glanced around.Then he deliberately stretched out his head, almost touching Mu Bingci's shoulder, and said, "Master Mu, Boss Feng is greeting you."

Mu Bingci couldn't prevent such a sentence, he was very surprised, and then quickly reacted and pushed his mustache, and said deliberately: "Please get out of the way! You don't have hypochondrosis, what are you doing lying on the armrest!"

Mustache smiled and was pushed away by him.Mu Bingci was sitting upright, looking at the stage with his eyes, but thoughts were spinning quickly in his mind.After a while, the mustache turned sideways again. Taking the opportunity of twisting the beard, he put his hands around his mouth and said in a low voice: "Don't talk, listen to me. Boss Feng asked if you were tired of staying in Shanghai, and would you like to move it for you?" A place?"

Since he reported Feng Shilai's name, Mu Bingci naturally knew their intentions.Feng Shi came to rescue him.But why?If it was said that they were in Peiping at that time, they wanted to win him because he still had the Southern Army as a bargaining chip. Now that he is no longer the leader, why would the League help him?

Mustache seemed to see through his doubts, and said again: "Boss Feng said, one is to thank you for saving Beiping, and the other is that you are brave and resourceful in the military, and the League also needs a leader like you. Let me say this, you Don't you doubt it?"

Mu Bingci watched the opera on the stage with his eyes, but his heart was beating wildly.The appearance of the mustache was like a flash of lightning. Originally, he had nothing to do when he was locked in a door, but this flash of lightning was able to split the door open.He also remembered what Jiang Chengyan said to him before, if he had to choose between doing what he liked in his heart and freedom, he would choose freedom without hesitation.

As the saying goes, give me liberty or give me death.

He didn't want to end his remaining life just like that, and spend his whole life on endless sex.

Even if he leaves, he will be gone forever with Jiang Chengyan in this life.

Thinking of this, Mu Bingci hesitated for a moment.

Mustache continued: "Next month's Qiqiao Festival, at ten o'clock in the evening, you find a way to get out of the villa. There is a lantern festival in the Town God's Temple. You go to the temple to burn incense, and someone will take you through the back door. The connection code is Boss Feng. Codename: Phantom."

After the mustache finished speaking, Mu Bingci's heart sank as well. He held on to the arm of the chair tightly, knowing that such an opportunity would never come again.

Until the end of the opera, Mustache didn't speak again.When the show was over, he left first.Mu Bingci walked out slowly behind the crowd, feeling a little dazed, what happened just now was like a dream.He didn't pay attention to the surrounding environment, and he didn't notice that there was a man with a stiff face pushing through the crowd to approach him in the corner closest to him. Mu Bingci only felt that someone hit him from the back, and suddenly the crowd burst into panic shouts.

Mu Bingci looked back alertly, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw a black ball thrown from the crowd.Instinctively, he stepped on the seat and climbed onto the back of the seat, and then flew out of the theater with all his might.

Bang!

The crowd behind him crushed him.Mu Bingci put a dozen people on him.When he was dragged up with tinnitus and dizziness, and his blurred vision was flooded by a crimson liquid, Mu Bingci folded his head back, and fell straight into the arms of the bodyguard who rushed over.
