[Republic of China] The paradise of rebirth

After I gave birth to my second child, the second master asked the old man secretly, wondering if there was any way to conceive a child. The old man smiled and said, "Everyone hopes to have many children and grandchildren. Fortunately, you will have two children." Don't want it anymore?"

"I don't want Tsing Yi to suffer." The second master said lightly, and the old man nodded, "Don't worry, you can only conceive two babies once you drink the river water. If you want to conceive again, you have to drink another sip of river water."

After hearing this, Er Ye felt relieved, I helped Er Ye give birth to a son with both babies, although it's a pity that I don't have a daughter, but the son is good and can inherit the property of the Second Ye, so the Second Ye is very happy.

Not long after I gave birth to my second child, the owner of the garden was also pregnant. For this child, the owner of the garden tried every means and worked so hard to successfully design the fifth master. When the fifth master learned that the owner was pregnant again When he went up, the expression on his face was really complicated.

The owner of the garden is weaker than me, so the fifth master doesn't want him to suffer even more. Having a son, the fifth master is already very satisfied. I didn't expect the owner to insist on having more children. Fortunately, the second master secretly told the fifth master that the water Only two children.

The fifth master asked the second master to take good care of me, and don't let me bring that water to the owner of the garden. The second master patted his chest and promised, but he didn't know it. The old man also told me, but I knew the owner's physical condition, so I asked him to give birth to two It's already reluctant, I won't let the owner of the garden get pregnant again.

As for myself, I had two holes in my stomach. Although the second time healed faster than the first time, the scars on my stomach are really ugly. In addition, the two children are very laborious, so I don’t have any extra thoughts for the time being. to think about something else.

Just when our second son was one year old, we changed to a larger house, because the original mansion was a bit smaller considering the growth of the four children, so after discussing with the second and fifth masters, we found a good day, We moved into our new home with our family.

In the past two years, Yuan Shikai's birthday second master did not go back. Yuan Shikai now lives in Zhongnanhai. Since the last bombing in front of Dongxing Building, Yuan Shikai has rarely left Xinhua Gate and has become extremely cautious. Presumably the explosion made him linger. still exist.

When the second master heard that Yuan Shikai was living in Zhongnanhai, he just sneered and didn't say much. In the past two years, Yuan Shikai also ignored the second master.

"Be stopped by the fourth brother." I once asked in doubt, the second master said lightly, I thought about it, isn't the second master's fourth brother Yuan Keduan?In his last life, Yuan Keduan seemed to have served as a counselor in the residence of Generalissimo Zhang Zuolin.

The second master is also happy and relaxed. This year's Chinese New Year is also with me in Shanghai. Since I was with the second master, this is the first time to celebrate the New Year together. We sat down with the owner and the family of the garden to have a reunion dinner, and it was also very happy .

In this year, Er Ye and Fifth Ye opened a bank and a newspaper in succession, and the restaurant invested by Er Ye also began to operate. It didn't take long for Er Ye to break into the foreign market and gain more opportunities to do business with foreigners.

Therefore, the second master and the fifth master were very busy all day long. The second master was in charge of negotiating with foreigners, and the fifth master was in charge of other affairs.

After I gave birth to my youngest son, I took care of myself and started to go to Taoyuan again. In addition to herbs and tea, I started to make perfume again. With the launch of new fragrances, Er Ye's perfume shop became popular in Shanghai overnight.

In the end, even the owner of the garden helped me prepare the perfume. I moved the utensils for dispensing the perfume out of Taoyuan and used an empty room to store the perfume. The owner of the garden was surprised at first that I could mix the perfume. I said that the second master asked Mr. to teach me , the owner of the garden will stop asking.

In addition, I also help Erye's restaurant to make wine, and the wine for foreigners is sold to foreigners in special shops. We have made a lot of money this year, and Erye invested the money in banks and the textile industry. A lot of gold.

In the early days of the Republic of China, because the old forces of the Qing Dynasty had not been completely eliminated and the forces of the Republic of China were still immature, Yuan Shikai's forces were in power, the government was almost paralyzed, and the country was disorderly and chaotic.

However, because the concession is under the management of Britain and France, it enjoys peace alone. The second master has recently closely monitored the actions of the Beiyang Army. Yuan Shikai will propose the Hongxian Monarchy at the end of next year.

The second master is contacting Liangbi and Xu Shichang. Besides Xu Shichang, the second master also has Duan Qirui in his hands. Although Xu Duan and Xu Duan are Yuan Shikai's confidantes, they both oppose Yuan Shikai's proclaiming emperor.

After Yuan Shikai's death, Li Yuanhong became the president and Duan Qirui became the prime minister. The two would soon have a dispute in the court; apart from Li Yuanhong, Duan Qirui also had conflicts with Feng Guozhang, who was directly related.

The second master wanted to recruit Feng Guozhang, but the young master took the lead. In addition, Feng Guozhang had a good relationship with Chang Shu, so the second master didn't want to associate with him, especially after the Qing emperor abdicated, Chang Shu and his subordinates disappeared .

It stands to reason that Zaifeng resigned as the regent of the country, and when Prince Jin returned to the mansion, Chang Shu, who was in charge of the mansion, should return to Prince Jin's mansion together. people.

The second master and the fifth master had discussed it before, and they both thought that Chang Shu's disappearance was extremely suspicious, so they secretly sent many people, but they couldn't find Chang Shu's whereabouts. I was pregnant at that time, so the second master didn't let me Use the bronze mirror to help him find it.

Later, he was delayed by the second master, and over time, the second master forgot about it, until recently he remembered that when I was free, I would help him use the bronze mirror to see where Chang Shu was hiding.

After I found out, I quickly used the bronze mirror to find Chang Shu's whereabouts. I didn't expect Chang Shu to hide in Feng Guozhang's mansion. The second master frowned when he found out. inside.

After confirming Chang Shu's whereabouts, the second master and the fifth master were not nervous, and Chang Shu did not take any action for a long time. The second master and the fifth master judged that it was because Chang Shu's forces could not enter the Shanghai Concession.

It seems that Chang Shu wanted to use Yuan Shikai to contain the second master at that time, but he did not expect that the second master and Yuan Shikai would tear each other apart. In addition, Yuan Shikai had no influence in Shanghai, so Chang Shu did not dare to confront the second master rashly.

After all, when he arrived in Shanghai, Chang Shu was nothing. If the second master moved his finger, he would have to die. No wonder he obediently hid in Feng Guozhang's mansion, but I didn't see that young lady in the bronze mirror, could it be That young lady didn't return to Chang Shu's side?

Not long after, I actually saw that young man on the street in Shanghai, and the person next to him was Yuan Qi.I was extremely surprised, Yuan Qi shouldn't be in the shop at this time, how could he accompany that young man to the street?

And looking at the familiarity between Yuan Qi and Xiao Guan, I frowned secretly, could it be that the two have known each other for a long time?Doesn't Yuan Qi know that this young man is someone close to Chang Shu?

I followed them from a distance, actually today I planned to go to Er Ye's shop to see if there were enough goods, but I ran into Yuan Qi and the others by chance, so I gave up the idea of ​​going to the shop and planned to get It is clear why Yuan Qi is with Xiao Guan.

Yuan Qi accompanied Xiao Guan to buy some items, and then they turned east and west, and came to a small alley. After Yuan Qi sent Xiao Guan into one of the small courtyards, he turned and left the alley.

"Yuan Qi." I called out to Yuan Qi, and Yuan Qi stopped in surprise, as if he didn't expect to be met by me, with a embarrassed expression on his face, he was speechless for a while.

"It's inconvenient to talk here, come with me." I glanced at the small courtyard in the alley, turned and left, Yuan Qi followed my footsteps, and I took Yuan Qi to a small teahouse nearby.

"Finally, what's going on? Don't tell me, you don't know he's from Changshu." I asked for a private room and asked in a cold voice as soon as I entered.

"Yuan Qi knows the words of the young master, but..." Yuan Qi replied respectfully, but at the end he hesitated.

"If you have something to say, why are you so hesitant!" I sat down and poured myself a cup of tea. Yuan Qi glanced at me a few times, then gritted his teeth and said, "My lord, Yuan Qi offended you."

"Young Master must also know that Xiaoyi entered Yuan Mansion instead of Young Master." Yuan Qi said, I nodded, and he continued: "Then you know, the person who found Xiaoyi was me."

"I was the one who recommended him to the second master." Yuan Qi said awkwardly, and I glanced at him lightly, "So you feel sorry for him?" Yuan Qi was taken aback and nodded.

"Do you know who sold him into the small hall?" I asked, Yuan Qi shook his head, and I said coldly: "Yuan Qi, it's in vain that you have been with the second master for so long, since he is Chang Shu Man, why do you think he is in the small hall?"

"I don't know how he told you, I only know that he is from Chang Shu, and he passed the news of Yuan Mansion to Chang Shu and the young master!" I put down the teacup with a "touch!"

"Anyone can say it if they can't help themselves, but Yuan Qi, you should be able to judge whether he has a purpose in approaching you!" After I finished speaking, I got up and left, hoping that Yuan Qi would not disappoint the second master.

If I find out, if any news leaks from Yuan Qi, I will make Yuan Qi regret it!I thought angrily, I was not in the mood to go to the shop after leaving the teahouse, so I went home angrily.

After returning to the room and drinking a few sips of water, Yuan Qi never thought that Yuan Qi would soften his heart to that young lady. Could it be that the young lady is in his heart?I can't help but feel worthless for Xiao Dongzi, how is Xiao Dongzi worse than that young man?

I paced back and forth in the room, when did that young lady come to Shanghai?Did Second Master know that Yuan Qi arranged people in a small courtyard?How could Yuan Qi be so confused?It's not like normal him at all.

The owner of the garden heard that I was back, so he came to the door. When I entered the door, he saw me with a bitter face, and hurriedly asked: "What's the matter? Didn't you go to the shop today, why did you come back so early?"

I hurriedly pulled the owner of the garden and told the story about Yuan Qi and the young man. The owner frowned after hearing this, "Yuan Qi really hid the young man in the small courtyard?" Before I nodded, suddenly outside the door With a sound of "Kuanglang", the garden owner and I hurriedly opened the door to have a look.

Xiaodongzi's eyes were red, and he was picking up the debris on the ground. I was extremely surprised, "Little Dongzi, why are you in the mansion?" .”

"Don't clean it up." I pulled Xiaodongzi up, took him into the room, sat him down, and asked, "Did you hear that?" Xiaodongzi nodded, and I sighed, "You Tell me honestly, do you know about this?"

"I just guessed it, I didn't see it with my own eyes." Xiaodongzi replied in a low voice, and I asked again: "The person in Yuan Qi's heart is that young man?" Xiaodongzi hesitated for a while, then nodded again.

"How can you be sure that it's the young lady?" The owner of the garden asked suspiciously, Xiaodongzi thought for a while, and then replied, "I asked him, and he said that the person he likes has a poor background."

"Just a person with a poor life experience may not necessarily be that young lady?" I said, and Xiao Dongzi said discouragedly: "He also said that the person he admires works hard. Although he has to learn things he is not good at, he never give up."

The more I listened, the more puzzled I became, this didn't sound like the young lady, and the owner of the garden was puzzled, "How did you infer from these words that the person in his heart was that young lady?"

"Yuan Qi said that he was sorry for one person. That person came from a pitiful background. He was chosen by him to replace Tsing Yi in Yuan's mansion. He not only needs to learn Tsing Yi's behavior, but also learns the way of speaking and singing." Xiao Dongzi burst into tears. It's about to fall.

Hearing this, I looked a little like that little girl again. The garden owner and I looked at each other. At first, I sounded like Xiao Dongzi, but when Xiao Dongzi said it, it seemed that he was really talking about that little girl.

"When did the young man come to Shanghai?" I asked, and Xiao Dongzi thought about it, "It's the beginning of this year. During the Chinese New Year, he doesn't have to go to the shop, but he still runs out all day, saying he's going to spend time with friends."

Hello, Yuan Qi, the golden house has kept her charming for so long, and it has been almost a year. If you want to say that Yuan Qi has nothing to do with that young lady, it seems unbelievable. Why didn't you say something important earlier?"

"Yuan Qi said that his friend's life experience was rough, so let me help keep it a secret." Xiaodongzi replied stupidly, the garden owner and I almost vomited blood, and I was so angry that my teeth itch, did the second master really not know?It's been more than half a year, I don't believe that the second master doesn't know!

After the second master came back that night, he looked at the faces of me and the garden owner in surprise, and the fifth master was also very puzzled. He didn't know why the garden owner and I were on good terms, so why did we look so ugly.

After a restless dinner, Second Master and Fifth Master pulled me and the owner of the garden into the room respectively, intending to ask carefully, what happened to make me and the owner of the garden so angry?

"Han Yun, your good subordinate is still imitating others like Jinwu Zangjiao." I said coldly, the second master touched his nose, well, it was clear that he knew about it a long time ago, and I jumped at the case, "It turns out that I was arrested Keep it in the dark!"

"I didn't deliberately hide it from you, but it's not a big deal, so I forgot to tell you." The second master hurriedly said, and I became more angry when I heard it, "It's not a big deal? Tell me, what did Yuan Qi do to that young man?" What do you think?"

"What do you think?" The second master couldn't figure it out, I gritted my teeth and said, "Didn't you forget that I asked you to find out what Yuan Qi said? Don't tell me, you don't know Xiao Dongzi's thoughts on Yuan Qi .”

"Hey, you have misunderstood Yuan Qi. How could Yuan Qi care about that young man? Don't worry, even if there is someone in his heart, it will not be that young man." The second master said firmly.

"Are you sure?" I was very puzzled, why did the second master say so with certainty?Could it be that he knows the person in Yuan Qi's heart?

"I also doubted it at the beginning. Yuan Qi assured me again and again that he had no second thoughts. That's why I let him intervene in arranging the young man, otherwise I wouldn't let him meet the young man." The second master said lightly, wanting to come That's right, Second Master won't let hidden worries appear around him.

"Then why did the young lady come to Shanghai?" I asked.It turned out that when Xiao Guan left Yuan Shikai, he had no intention of returning to Chang Shu's side, but he didn't dare to look for the second master at the beginning, so he hid for a while.

It was only later that he came to Shanghai, because the second master had said at the beginning that if he wanted to leave the Yuan Mansion, the second master would help him arrange the way forward, so he came to seek refuge with the second master.

"Don't be angry. I promised him at the beginning. Now that he has left Yuan's mansion and has not returned to Chang Shu's side, I naturally have to help him arrange it. I didn't tell you in advance. I was negligent." The second master put his arms around him. I comfort in a soft voice.

"I saw him walking on the street with Yuan Qi today. They seem to be very close. Are you sure Yuan Qi has no other thoughts?" I asked worriedly, and the second master nodded, "Don't worry, Yuan Qi won't have other thoughts. of."

"I promised Yuan Qi not to say anything, but I can tell you that the person in Yuan Qi's heart is definitely not that young man." The second master was afraid that I would be worried, so he promised me again.
