[Republic of China] The paradise of rebirth

Zai Tao was stunned on his seat, looking at his face, he must have never thought that the second master would be so merciless and directly threaten him, but I didn't expect that the so-called second master's so-called giving Zai Tao a chance was to let him choose Dead or Alive.

The second master stopped talking after he finished speaking, and Zai Tao didn't make a sound. There was silence in the box for a while, I looked at Zai Tao gloatingly, wondering how he would choose?

But wouldn't it be a problem for the second master to threaten him like this?The second master will leave Shanghai tomorrow, if Zai Tao finds trouble, he may not be safe on the way back to Tianjin.

The second master ate the dishes on his own. After a long time, Zai Tao said hoarsely, "Han Yun, are you really so disregarding people?"

"Qiye is serious. Han Yun just told Qiye the bottom line of principles. It is Qiye who makes the decision. If Han Yun doesn't care about feelings, he will directly make the decision for Qiye." The second master said lightly.

Zai Tao's face became even more ugly when he heard the words, and he jumped up, "Don't rely on the Lord to be tolerant to you, how dare you be so presumptuous!"

"Qiye, this is Shanghai, not a place for you to show off." It seems that the second master has made up his mind to tear his face apart, and he is merciless. In fact, in such a situation, I can also guess that Zai Tao is It is impossible to give up the tobacco shop business.

Zai Tao walked away in a fit of anger, the second master watched him leave coldly, neither asked him to stay, nor got up to see him off.After Zai Tao left for a while, Second Master said calmly, "Come out and have dinner with me."

After Zai Tao slammed the door and left, Yuan Qi had closed the box door again, no one dared to enter the box without Second Master's order, so I came out of Second Master's jade pendant and sat beside Second Master.

"Second Master, you have to leave tomorrow, don't drink too much wine." I pressed Second Master's hand that was about to pour the wine, he had already drank a lot, and I was afraid that he would have a headache the next day.

"Tsing Yi, have you made up your three wishes?" The second master suddenly asked about the wish. I was taken aback and shook my head. I haven't had time to think about these in the past few days.

"Think about it while I'm not around tomorrow." Second Master said lightly, I was puzzled, "Does Second Master not want to?"

"That's your jade pendant, and the wish is naturally yours too." The second master said, I frowned slightly, "Do you still need to distinguish so clearly between us?"

"Opportunity is rare, Tsing Yi, you should seize it well." The second master held my hand, as if there was something in his words, I looked at his expression suspiciously, but I couldn't see anything unusual.

"I will think about it carefully." I had no choice but to agree first, but I was thinking about my wish to help the second master.

After the second master and I had eaten and drank enough, we planned to go back home. I directly used Taoyuan and went back to the room to wait for the second master. The second master brought his servants and went home in a carriage.

Because it was the last night before our separation, my second master and I were a little emotionally agitated. We spent most of the night upside down on the bed before we retreated out of breath.

Early the next morning, the second master left without waking me up. When I woke up, the place next to the bed was already cold. I sighed. Every time I was separated for nearly three months during the Chinese New Year, it was a difficult time.

I lay on the bed and grieved for the Spring and Autumn Period, thinking that the left and right shops were closed, and the second master was not there, and I didn't know what to do when I got up early, so I closed my eyes with peace of mind, and fell asleep again.

When I woke up for the second time, it was almost noon, I stretched my waist, I felt weak and a little lazy, maybe it was because of the cold weather, I always felt that it was easy to be lazy in the past few days.

"My lord, you're finally up." Hearing the movement in my room, Xiao Xia hurried in with a basin of hot water. After helping me take care of it, she asked worriedly, "Your lord, are you all right? You woke up very late today."

"It's nothing, just feeling a little tired." I waved my hand to let Xiaoxia not worry, and then asked, "Xiaodongzi went to the shop?"

"Well, I went out early in the morning. Manager Yuan is not here, so Brother Dong has to be in charge of patrolling." Xiao Xia replied while checking the charcoal fire in the room.

"Where are the fifth master and the owner of the garden?" I have been busy with the business of the shop these days, and I haven't seen the owner of the garden for a long time.

"Fifth Master is out, and Lou Master is in the study." After finishing making the bed, Xiao Xia asked, "Young Master, do you want to eat? I didn't eat breakfast today, do you want to have lunch earlier?"

"Alright, I'm a little hungry." After Xiaoxia brought me lunch, I started to gobble it up, thinking in my heart that I had exhausted too much energy last night?Otherwise, how come I feel very hungry today.

Xiao Xia was also taken aback by my appetite. In the past, it was rare for me to finish one bowl for every meal, but today I ate two and a half bowls and drank two bowls of soup.

"Young master, don't eat too much at one time, be careful of stomach pain." Just when I was about to drink the third bowl of soup, Xiao Xia stopped me, and he looked at me with a look of surprise, wondering why I suddenly ate so much .

I am also very puzzled in my heart. Today, I feel that my appetite is particularly good. Not only that, but I also ate some dishes that I didn't really like.

Since I fell into a coma for two days last time, the second master thought about my health. Every meal not only prepares my favorite dishes, but also mixes them with dishes that I don't like but are good for my health.

Today, without Xiao Xia's supervision, I almost ate the whole dish that I didn't like. On the contrary, there were some dishes that I liked before, but I suddenly lost interest.

"Young master, do you want to invite the doctor?" Xiao Xia saw that I got up so late today, and now I didn't finish my favorite dishes when I was eating, so I was a little worried.

"Don't make a big fuss, it's just that the taste changed suddenly." I didn't take it seriously, but the dishes I liked had changed, and it wasn't a big problem, and there was nothing wrong with my body, so I asked the doctor to do something.

"By the way, I suddenly want to drink sour plum soup. I'll let the kitchen prepare it later." I took a clean handkerchief and wiped the corners of my greasy mouth. I suddenly wanted to eat or drink something sour.

"Okay." Xiao Xia tidied up the table and went to the kitchen to prepare sour plum soup.

I thought about it, got up and put on the padded jacket and cape, opened the door and walked to the study. I heard that the fifth master seems to have found a mansion, and he will move out of our home with the owner of the garden in the next year.

When I came to the study, I saw Xiao Anzi guarding the door, stepped forward and asked, "Is the owner in?"

"Well, Master Lou is not in a good mood." Xiao Anzi nodded, lowered his voice to remind me, I was a little surprised, "What's wrong?"

"Fifth Master and Lou Master had a quarrel this morning." Xiao Anzi covered his lips and whispered, my eyes widened, quarreled?

Xiao Anzi also nodded helplessly. How old are the fifth master and the owner of the garden, and they still quarreled. I shook my head, raised my hand and knocked on the door, "Owner, I am Tsing Yi."

"Come in." The owner of the garden said lightly, unable to detect any emotion, Xiao Anzi and I looked at each other, then pushed the door open and walked in.

"Don't you need to go to the shop today?" The garden owner put down the book in his hand and asked me suspiciously.

"Well, my shop is closed, and the market will only open after the year." I sat on the couch by the window and replied lazily.

"So early?" The owner of the garden was about to pour tea for me, and I hurriedly stopped him, "No need, I've just had enough, and I don't want to drink tea yet."

"Lunch so early?" The garden owner asked casually, and I nodded, "I got up late today, so I ate breakfast and lunch together."

"Why did the second master let you sleep until you didn't eat breakfast?" The owner of the garden slapped his hands when he heard the words. The second master usually urged me to eat on time, just because he was afraid that I would suffer from stomach problems again, so the owner heard that I slept without breakfast today , very surprised.

"Second Lord is going back to Tianjin today." I leaned on the couch, looking at the snow-white yard outside the window, fortunately there was no snow today, Second Master did not have to brave the wind and snow to rush on the road.

"It's time again." The owner of the garden sighed, since Emperor Xuantong came to the throne, and the fifth master took the garden owner to leave Beijing, the fifth master never went back.

The owner of the garden doesn't have any family members, so they don't have to be separated from each other every New Year's Eve, unlike Erye and I, who have a Yuan Mansion in Tianjin, waiting for Erye to go back for a reunion dinner.

"...Tsing Yi, do you know the situation of the second master's house?" The garden owner asked after deliberation, I turned my gaze back from the window, looked at the garden owner and nodded, "I know."

"What if Mr. Yuan decides to marry the second master?" The garden owner asked in a low voice, I shrugged, "Nothing."

I didn't answer this way out of compulsion, nor did I give up on myself, but I believed in the second master. Since he promised me his life and lived it again, if this obstacle can't be resolved, I don't think he would dare to come to me.

"I believe him." I smiled, and the owner of the garden was slightly stunned with worry. I just knew that the owner of the garden would misunderstand me, so I hurried to make it clear.

"That's good. Trust is very important for two people to get along." The owner of the garden seemed to express his feelings. I remembered Xiao Anzi saying that the owner of the garden was arguing with the fifth master. He rolled his eyes and asked tentatively: "Why didn't you see the fifth master?" Lord?"

"Speak directly if you have something to say, without beating around the bush." ​​The owner of the garden glanced at me lightly, and I touched my nose, "I heard that the owner of the garden and Master Wu had a quarrel this morning?"

"Who has time to argue with him?" The owner of the garden snorted coldly, and he seemed very angry. I was a little curious. Over the past few years, Master Wu has loved the owner a lot. How could he make the owner angry?

"Owner, you should have the deepest understanding of Fifth Master's affection for you in the past few years." I persuaded, we were all moved by what Fifth Master did for the garden owner, let alone the garden owner.

"I didn't expect you to grow up to say such words." The owner of the garden gave me a sideways glance, as if he was very moved by my maturity.

"So why are the owner and the fifth master arguing?" I asked straight to the point, really curious that the fifth master, who was obedient to the owner, would quarrel with the owner.

"I casually mentioned that the son of the owner of the traditional Chinese medicine shop who just turned [-] is very cute, so he got into trouble with me." The owner of the garden said angrily.

"Arguing?" It's really hard for me to imagine Fifth Master's appearance in arguing.

"He insists that I want a child." The owner shaved his hair irritably, sighed, and continued, "I really don't know what he has in mind. If I really wanted a child, I would still be with him." together!"

It turned out that this was the reason, and there was no way around it. A man cannot have children if he falls in love.But I didn't expect Master Wu to be so concerned about gains and losses. The owner of the garden casually praised other people's children, which made Master Wu think so much.

"He actually said such nonsense that he wants to 'fulfill me'!" The owner of the garden said angrily, I was a little speechless, and even I began to wonder what was in the fifth master's head.

But this is a problem between them, and I don't want to talk about it, so I just sat aside obediently and listened to the owner of the garden spit out bitterness, scolded the fifth master from head to toe, and turned over some old accounts.

I was stunned to myself, I didn't expect the owner of the garden to hold grudges like this, the fifth master made the owner so angry this time, it's not easy to appease him.

The garden owner finally stopped when he was tired of cursing, looked at me and said embarrassedly, "Tsing Yi, I'm sorry for letting you listen to me vomit so much bitterness."

"It's okay, I'm idle anyway." I yawned and felt that I couldn't use my body. The owner of the garden saw me drowsy and asked, "Didn't you just wake up? tired?"

"I don't know." After I finished speaking, I yawned again. The owner of the garden drove me back to his room to rest. Seeing that I was going to sleep again, Xiao Xia frowned tightly, "Young master, please invite the doctor to come over." .”

"No need, I'm just tired, I'm going to take a nap for a while." I waved my hand, threw myself on the bed, and soon fell asleep.

Seeing this, Xiao Xia had no choice but to help me cover the quilt, and put the sour plum soup I wanted to drink on the stove to heat it up, and I could drink it directly when I woke up.After adding more firewood to keep the charcoal fire from going out, I closed the door and left.

At this time the second master had already arrived in Tianjin and was sitting in the carriage sent by the mansion to pick him up. He was leaning in the carriage, but he was thinking of me who was far away in Shanghai.

Not long after the carriage arrived at the Yuan Mansion, a group of servants greeted the second master at the gate. Since the young master's accident, the second master has taken over the property and power of the young master, and has become the heir by default.

Yuan Shikai had a wife and nine concubines. The eldest son, Yuan Keding, was born to his wife Yu, and the second son, Yuan Kewen, was born to his third concubine, Jin, but he was raised by his favored aunt since childhood.

Although the eldest son is born of the first wife, but because the Yu family is not favored, even though he is not the second master from the main family, he is very much loved by Mrs. Yuan. , but nothing lost to the young master.

Now that the eldest son has fallen, among Yuan Shikai's children, there is no one who can surpass the second master in status and ability, but the second master has been away from home four years ago to work hard, and only returned to Tianjin during the New Year.

The second master has already reached the weak crown, but he has not yet settled on a marriage, which made the matchmaker almost break through the threshold of Yuan's mansion, just to talk about the second master's marriage.But it's strange to say that Mr. Yuan actually let the second master make his own decisions and didn't forcefully interfere with the second master's marriage.

But it seems that this year is different, Mr. Yuan seems to have taken a fancy to a marriage, so he is waiting for the second master to come back and have a good discussion with the second master.And all of this, I, who was sleeping far away in Shanghai, didn't know it at all.
