The Republic of China. A Dream of Mandarin Ducks and Butterflies

After the future son-in-law left, Zai Kun also went out in a rickshaw, and unknowingly came to the door of the bookstore, next to the shop of a foreign company, and the lights on the second floor were still on, so Kelso probably hasn't come home yet.

He directly pushed open the fence door, went up to the second floor from the side stairs, opened the door, and saw only the viscount who was busy all day sitting in the large office.

"Kun, why are you here, sit down quickly." Kelso put down the order form and hurriedly made tea for him.

"I saw that the lights on the second floor were still on, so I guessed that you hadn't left. Why is it so late today?" He sat on the sofa diagonally across from the desk, staring at his ex-wife non-stop.

"Our apartment is about to start construction. I'm looking at the order contract and receipt. He will take it to Shanghai tomorrow, and Yinger will follow him in a few days." The Viscount put the teacup on the side table and sat back When he got to his desk, he raised his eyes and met Belle's eyes, and immediately avoided them subconsciously.

"I'd have forgotten if you didn't tell me. I'm upset today, so I want to talk to you for a while." After speaking, he took out his cigarette, frowned, lit it, and took two puffs.

"Is it because of Qingzhu's marriage? I heard from Defang." Kelso couldn't help worrying for the girl, but since Qingzhu chose this person, others shouldn't obstruct him, let alone he is an irrelevant person , not even qualified to offer opinions.

"Well, I agreed, but let them live at home, so that I can supervise Wu Tianci. Even if they live with me for a lifetime, I have no problem. The key is that Qing Zhu has to live well." He held a cigarette between his arms. , pouring out the unhappiness in his heart, it turns out that people want to get married not only to have children, but also to find a close companion for themselves, otherwise there is no one to talk to, this is the most tragic .

"Do they agree?" asked the Viscount.

"I agree, if you don't agree, don't even think about getting married." Only this condition, he will never compromise.

"Don't stare too closely, the young couple will get into trouble, who will handle the marriage?" Kelso wanted to help, but he didn't know if he could. Will appreciate it.

"They handle it by themselves. I said that if the money is not enough, you can just ask, but Wu Tianci is not willing to use my money. At least it proves that he is a man." Now he has to think about the best, or he will be more entangled.

The Viscount asked softly, "Are you reluctant to marry Qing Zhu?"

"It turned out that she couldn't find her husband's family, so I was anxious. Now that she is going to marry, I feel lost. If Jasmine wants to marry in the future, you will be reluctant." He has seen Kelso's daughter, like Bai Xue She is as pretty as a princess, and she has a sweet smile. Jin Kai also loves her very much, but it's a pity that he doesn't have such a blessing. It would be great if he had another daughter.

Kelso nodded: "Well, it will definitely be, but she is only seven years old and will not get married until more than ten years later. We don't have any extravagant expectations. We just hope that she can have a stable life in the future. Don't ask for it." That rich."

"So, that's what I'm asking for. Although Wu Tianci has never studied and doesn't have strong skills, he still likes Qingzhu. I hope he can cherish my daughter... Or, you can come over tomorrow night. Stay here, he's not at home anyway." It's been more than half a month since the two were happy last time, and he really wanted to kiss Fangze again.

Kelso's face immediately turned red, and he said embarrassingly, "I'll take a boat from Shanghai to England in April. I'll set aside three days to come." won't find out.

"Then I have to wait another month, and I won't see you for another two or three months. I will miss you." Lord Belle said with a smile, but he had promised to set aside three days for himself. You should thank God for His grace, this is a wonderful thing that you can only wish for!

"We are all so old and sticky, it shouldn't be." He wanted to avoid the topic again, but his heart was beating non-stop. He is not young anymore, he has lost his youth a long time ago The impulsiveness and delusion, but the spring heart sprouts like a big girl, it is really shameful!

"I don't think there's anything wrong with it. It means we're still young." Zai Kun was about to say a few flirtatious words when he heard footsteps downstairs, and someone came upstairs.

Jin Kai, who was wearing a neat suit, appeared at the door of the office. He saw that the two were sitting and chatting, with a look of displeasure flashing across their faces, but he had to hold on to his face, so he said politely: "Master Baylor is here. "

"Ah, I came up to sit when I passed by a foreign company, didn't I disturb you?" Zai Kun asked with a smile. The last time we met was in London, and it has been almost two years since now.

Jin Kai is already a mature man. Because he is busy with the start of the apartment building and purchasing construction materials, he has no time to shave. He is a bit decadent. He looks about the same age as Zai Kun, but in fact he has just turned 30.

"How come, let's talk!" Although Jin Kai was worried about letting the two of them get along alone, he understood the reason why he should not look at the Viscount like a thief. For a person with strong self-esteem like the Viscount, the more he is restrained, the worse it will be. .

Kelso stood up and said, "Why don't we talk another day, it's getting late, we have to go back, if you need help with Qing Zhu's marriage, just ask."

Although it was a bit disappointing, Zai Kun had no choice but to say: "Okay, we will talk another day, I will take a step first."

After watching Lord Baylor leave, Jin Kai turned around and said to the Viscount tenderly, "Go home, don't keep the children waiting."

"I'll pack up and leave." Kelso hurriedly put the unfinished documents into his briefcase, but his heart was in a state of panic. Ever since he slept with Kun last time, he had been trembling for fear of being discovered by Jin Kai. Although it is shameful to have an affair, he couldn't bear to refuse Kun's soft-heartedness. After all, he was the one who failed the other party, and he was a sinner.

"In the future, let Lord Baylor come to sit at home, the children like him very much." He implied that he didn't want his "wife" to meet this person secretly outside.

"Yeah." Kelso's hands trembled for a moment, but he returned to normal immediately. This sentence was more uncomfortable than scolding himself directly.

After Jin Kai and the Viscount drove away from the foreign firm, Zai Kun came out from the corner of the alley holding a cigarette. His mood became even worse, so he called a foreign car and drove to Zai Yu's new home, wanting to be with him. People have a few drinks happily.

Seeing him coming, Zai Yu and Zai Yan immediately greeted the old lady to cook and entertain the distinguished guests.

The three sat in the living room and chatted while eating. Zai Yu heard that Wu Hai had found his cousin specifically for Fang Lian's affairs and wanted them to separate, so he said dejectedly: "I thought our affairs could be handled in a logical manner, but no. Thinking of Wu Hai just disagrees."

"It's okay to disagree. Fanglian wants to marry you, but being a father can't stop her. How can I help him persuade you to break up with Xiao Furong? I'd rather demolish a temple than ruin a marriage." Stop drinking, the only way to eliminate depression.

Zai Yan asked: "You and the Viscount are reconciled now?"

"The two of us can only count as an affair now." He sighed, but I'm afraid it's impossible to be together openly. Judging by Jin Kai's posture, it's impossible to quit, and he won't give Kelso up.

"There's nothing wrong with having an affair. It's said that a wife is worse than a concubine, a concubine is worse than a prostitute, and a prostitute is worse than a thief. You guys are not as talkative as before when you get along like this. As long as you are happy together, don't think too much about it. Who can guarantee to love you for 100 years?" Zaiyan spoke from the bottom of his heart, and what he encountered proved this fact. He was abandoned by his family, and now he can only be taken in by his younger brother. Even the chaff despises himself, and would rather live alone with his son than hang out with him, a big smoker.

"Don't be too pessimistic. There are still people in the world who know how to cherish, just like hibiscus." Zai Yule is in his heart. Although they can't be together justifiably now, he believes that one day they will be able to touch the future father-in-law. .

"What's the use of saying this, Furong is no longer in this world, so of course it can be with you forever." Zai Yan said sourly, and poured the wine by himself.

"Who says he is no longer in this world, Fanglian is Furong, and Furong is Fanglian." He hasn't mentioned this to others yet, but they are both members of his family, so it's okay to say it now, I'm afraid they won't believe it .

Zai Kun asked with a wry smile, "Are you thinking too much and feeling crazy?"

"Of course not. I didn't want to say it at first, but you are all my relatives, so I won't hide it." Zai Yu told the two elder brothers the whole truth, but they looked skeptical. No one will be easily convinced, no wonder they will be suspicious.

"How did Fanglian become a lotus, and where did the real Fanglian go?" Zaiyan asked.

"I'm afraid he died a long time ago. After falling into the water, it was Fanglian who died, but Furong who came back to life. This kind of thing is not impossible. Is it possible to resurrect the soul with a dead body?" The old Furong and the little Furong are very similar in figure, demeanor, and pronunciation. Although they are from the same school, there is no reason for such a similarity. What's more, Zaiyu wrote several plays specially for Furong back then. It will be done once, it is too exaggerated.

"If that's the case, I feel a little cautious!" Zai Yan got goosebumps, whether the future sister-in-law is a human or a ghost!

"Brother, Fu Rong is a real person, don't think about it, her body is so hot that she doesn't care about people at all." Zai Yu drank the wine and took two more bites of vegetables.

Zai Yan was startled: "Are you both like that?"

He gave his elder brother a blank look: "How is that possible? I want Ming Meizheng to marry Fu Rong. I have to be patient before the bridal chamber."

Zaiyan smiled and said: "It's the Republic of China and you still have to deal with it. Hurry up and do things. Otherwise, Wu Hai will not let you get married after sleeping with long nights and dreams?"

"In the Republic of China, people have to be shameless?" Zai Yu asked.

Zai Kun interjected: "There are a lot of shameless things now, even more than when we were in the Qing Dynasty. It is said that it is monogamy, but many people marry concubines, or they are cruel to their original spouses. Divorce, regardless of the other party's life or death, the abandoned woman has no means of earning a living, either prostitution or suicide, it's really not as good as it was in the Qing Dynasty."

"There are policies and there are countermeasures. Chinese people are very smart in this regard." Speaking of this, Zai Yu felt at ease, because he gave Ulan enough real estate to make a living, and the two would not owe each other.
