Republic of China

what. "He sat down next to his younger brother as he said that, but he was thinking about finding something to chat about. Anyway, as long as he survived lunch, this man and his aunt should go back. Then he will talk to his sister and mother, and ask his father by the way. real thoughts.

The conversation lasted until after eleven o'clock at noon, and the Tong family came to the restaurant to eat.

In order not to show timidity, Fulai obeyed his mother's instructions and tried not to make any noise when eating, and he did not talk casually. Anyway, the family of Baqizizi is very particular about these old etiquettes. Although he used to be a foreign driver who sold his strength, now he must Changed roles to become Master Fulai.

Sure enough, no one in the family talked during the meal. The atmosphere was extremely uncomfortable. Fulai missed the life of living under the same roof with Boss Shen in Beijing. At that time, they often talked and laughed together in the North Room. Eat, but the good old days are gone.

After lunch, Tong Chunyan gave the prepared gifts to her sister-in-law, nephew, and niece, and then Mrs. Tong also gave gifts to Fulai as an elder. She naturally prepared a copy for each of her children, Swiss watches, walking sticks imported from England, and There is a very beautiful top hat, which shows the generosity and wealth of the Tong family.In comparison, the things Tong Chunyan gave were cheaper, but even if she was dissatisfied, she couldn't say it out.

Rong Fei and Xiao Luan brought Fu to the Chinese-style study room upstairs. The room was more than [-] square meters, with two large windows facing the sun, a dark green carpet on the floor, and three mahogany trees displayed against the white walls. The collection of books in the bookcase ranges from ancient literature and history, classics, to foreign works, but Fulai's eyes were attracted by the globe on the large desk, which he felt seemed to be something only found in schools.

On the opposite side of the desk, near the door, there are black leather sofas, one large and one small, which are enough for four guests to have a long conversation.

Rong Fei asked the old lady to bring Fulai an English-style afternoon tea, and then said kindly: "I have lived in Guangzhou for 20 years, and I am quite familiar with it. I will take you to play around in the future." He wanted to take this opportunity to find Fulai's weakness, so that he could prevent problems before they happened.

Xiaoluan also chimed in: "Yes, younger brother, you follow elder brother to get familiar with Guangzhou, and get to know the people on the scene by the way, even though father let you join the army, you still have to establish good relations with those dignitaries." Even though she was impatient, she had to promise no. This matter happened to be handled by her elder brother, so she would not have to worry about it.

Tong Fulai took two sips of tea, carefully put the cup on the tea table, and smiled faintly: "Brother can arrange it." Of course, he didn't know that his elder brother was a playboy, and he only went in and out of romantic places like dance halls and nightclubs. I don't understand the rules of the so-called high society, but Mr. Zhao has told me to try my best to cater to my brother and sister.

"I'll arrange it. There just happens to be a party next week. I'll take you there. There are many friends over there." He said with a smile, mainly because there are many famous ladies and beauties. How could he give up such a good opportunity to hunt for beauty?Maybe this "brother" is even more desperate to see a woman than himself. How many men are not lustful, unless they are really incompetent!

Sitting at the side, Xiaoluan looked at the profile of the "illegitimate son", feeling that he looked more like his father than her elder brother, but her eyes revealed a lack of self-confidence, so she simply asked tentatively, "Which school did my brother go to in Beijing before?" The book you read?"

Mr. Zhao taught him this question, so he pretended to answer relaxedly: "I went to a private school."

"Oh...Father should let you go to study abroad. You will have a different experience when you go abroad." She was mocking in her heart, although she was from a girl's family, she also went to a girls' middle school.

Fulai could only smile and say nothing, but he was very disappointed in his heart. When his elder brothers and sisters were enjoying the rich life of food, mouth and clothes, he was already running around for a living. Before the age of 17, he worked as a waiter in a restaurant. Then I started pulling foreign cars.

"Actually, it doesn't matter what kind of school you go to, but if I have a chance, I will take you out to see my brother. By the way, let's go to Hong Kong next month. There are many interesting things in the British Concession there." I go to Hong Kong almost every month to see, and occasionally I can catch blond foreign girls. It is not confused.

Tong Fulai nodded: "Okay, I don't understand English, so I need to trouble my brother."

Tong Xiaoluan raised the corner of her mouth and interjected: "You're welcome, we're all a family." Although the other party was well dressed, she still couldn't hide the rusticity of her body, and she would have to complain to her mother and elder brother soon.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Tong Chunyan took her son back to Shamian in a car.

Along the way, Zhao Yaochen kept asking about Fulai's situation. It seemed that everything was going well. At least the wife, the eldest young master, and the second lady were doing well on the surface. This was all because Mr. Tong was sitting on the sidelines. It's quite different, the young master not only won't get half of the family property, but will also be completely rejected by the Tong family, so now we must let Fulai become self-reliant quickly, and after he can support himself, he can live comfortably even without the ancestral property , which is the best.

Tong Chunyan sat at the back and looked out the window thoughtfully. She felt that nephews and nieces were not easy-going lamps. It would be better if she didn't step into that gate in the future. As for her brother's future arrangements for Fulai, she had to think carefully. Let her son do dangerous things, she will definitely not allow it!

After returning home, Fulai went into the room, took out a pen and letter paper, and impatiently wrote a letter to Shen Yuezhi, telling him about his recent situation:

Boss Shen:

Hello, I have been in Guangzhou for the fifth day, and I just met my brothers, sisters and aunt today. They were very kind to my mother and me, and even sent some expensive gifts.

Guangzhou is really different from Beijing. People here speak Cantonese, which I can't understand at all, but there are also people from all corners of the country.The aunt who works as a helper for my family is from Shandong. My mother often chats with her, and my mood and complexion improve. When I am bored, I read newspapers and books. Mr. Zhao bought them for me. He is a very good person. He is a steady and mature person who always tells me what to pay attention to. One of the most incisive words he said is "too much talk is bound to fail", so now I try to talk as little as possible and listen to what others say.

In order to make me a decent person, my father and Mr. Zhao bought me a lot of clothes, mostly suits, but also long gowns and short jackets. My mother also threw away almost all my old clothes, which I feel is a pity!

How is Boss Shen doing in Fengtian? Is your eldest brother recovering?I would like to hear from you about things over there, but it will take some days before I hear from you...

He put down the pen and sighed. Although his handwriting is still neat, it is still far from beautiful, and he needs to practice more in the future.Although it will take some time to adapt to the new life, what makes him most unhappy is that he cannot see Shen Yuezhi anytime. They are friends after all, and this person is his first "friend".

Lao and Yan fly separately and have their own troubles

After dinner, Tong Rongfei, Xiaoluan and their mother chatted in low voices in the small living room on the third floor, and the conversation was all about Tong Fulai and her aunt.

Guijuan rested her chin in annoyance, frowned and said: "The things they sent are really not top-notch, don't you know that our Tong family is a very well-known person in Guangzhou?" She has done enough for her husband's face and is generous Fang sent a watch, a wooden cane, a top hat and a foreign suit, which one is not a high-end foreign product?Look at what my sister-in-law gave, ginseng and deer antler are abundant at home, so she doesn't like it.

Xiaoluan took her mother's hand and said: "Don't worry about it, they are just earth leopards who have never seen the world, that Fulai only went to private school, not even middle school, it's not worth mentioning, I see father It’s just that I want to find a follower, at least it’s more reassuring than using an outsider.”

Rong Fei was standing in front of the window smoking a cigarette. He turned his face and said, "Don't think so simply. If he follows Dad in the future, he will have an advantage over us." They are the ones with the most power, maybe the illegitimate son catches up with the opportunity and will rise to the top and rise steadily, not to mention the fact that his father is helping him.

"Don't talk about that person again... Your aunt is the one who is difficult to deal with. She keeps telling me how sensible and filial Fulai is. She doesn't mention how you and your father hid the matter of raising an illegitimate child from me, as if it should be taken for granted. I'm so mad!" She's still feeling tight in her chest, but luckily they don't live at home, if they don't see each other when they look up, then she will definitely die of anger.

Rong Fei took a cigarette and sat opposite to his mother: "You can't hold back forever, you should protest with your father, don't quarrel with him, show your position, neither humble nor overbearing, you accept the illegitimate child is your generosity, but you can't let it go They are riding on their heads and bullying, so that father will miss you and consider your feelings more in everything." It is definitely not a good thing for them to argue with their parents, so they have to be persuaded tactfully, although he does not want to do it again. I saw Tong Fulai, but no matter what he said, he was his father's son, and he was legally entitled to inherit the family property.

When Guijuan heard what her son said, she put down her hand resting on her chin, leaned on the sofa and closed her eyes and said, "I don't want to think about it, Xiaoluan will accompany me to the massage therapist tomorrow, and I feel uncomfortable all over now...Rong Fei, Your father is urging you to get married, you have to hurry up,
