[Republic of China] The paradise of rebirth

From Shanghai to Hubei, we need to transfer multiple times. We first arrived in Nanjing, and then took a train from Nanjing to Hubei. When we arrived at Dazhimen Railway Station in Hubei, we had to take a car to get to Daye.

The journey was tiring, and when we arrived at Daye, all four children fell asleep, and the four of us were exhausted, but it was better than taking a carriage all the way. pain.

Although the second master had a foreigner's car, it would be too ostentatious to drive outside of Shanghai, so we chose to take the train, and finally arrived in Daye, and it was Xiao Dongzi who came to pick us up.

When we arrived at the mansion, the servants in the mansion helped us pick up the children. After we settled down, the second and fifth masters went to the study. The owner and I had nothing to do, so we went to the backyard to make tea and chat.

"The scenery here is not bad." The owner of the garden said in admiration, the location of the second master's mansion is good, not far from the Yangtze River, and the neighborhood is very quiet, it is a good place to rest.

"Owner, I didn't deliberately hide the matter of the mine from you. I hope you and the fifth master will not be offended." I spoke carefully, and the owner was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "I thought you were going to say something, but it turns out that File matter."

"Don't worry, Hou Zhai won't care about it." The owner of the garden said with a smile, and I was relieved. At that time, the second master and I hesitated again and again before deciding to hide it from the owner and the fifth master.

"Hou Zhai has been in contact with many things in the past few years, and his horizons have also been opened. He has become more and more familiar with business matters. He knows that the second master must have his intentions in making such a decision." The owner of the garden said lightly.

In fact, the fifth master's change is obvious to all. At first, he was afraid that he would put on airs as a relative of the emperor, but he didn't expect him to adapt quickly and his mentality adjusted well. He soon regarded himself as an ordinary commoner.

"Aren't you sad?" I asked hesitantly. The owner of the garden paused the hand holding the teacup and said with a sigh, "How can you not be sad? When Emperor Xuantong abdicated, he locked himself in the study room for a whole day. One day."

"But he also knows that the Qing Dynasty is about to die, and it won't last long." The owner of the garden said in a low voice. In fact, we may not be able to understand the fifth master's mood in our whole life. After all, our surname is not Aixinjueluo.

"Let's not talk about that, come to Daye this time, let's relax and take a look at the different scenery from Shanghai." The owner and I looked at each other and smiled, and started talking about other trivial matters, leaving annoying topics aside .

Once Second Master and Fifth Master entered the study, they didn't come out until after dinner. The four children had a good night's sleep and their spirits were much better. On the contrary, the garden owner and I were a little out of sorts.

After a hasty meal, I went back to my room to rest. My two sons were left to Er Ye and Xiao Dongzi, and Yuan Qi was still there, so I fell asleep in peace.

As soon as it dawned, I got up very early the next day, the house was quiet, and the servants hadn't even woken up yet, so I got out of bed lightly, not waking up the second master, and planned to visit my sons.

Since Daye's mansion is not as big as Shanghai's, there are not many courtyards and wing rooms, and the four children are arranged in the same room. I came to the front of the room and opened the door carefully. I got up quickly.

I waved my hand to tell her to ignore me, and I walked into the room softly. Since the little girl is a girl and the youngest one, the second and fifth masters asked the servants to move another small bed for the little girl to sleep by herself.

The other three boys slept together. Fortunately, the bed was big enough, so it didn’t look crowded. After I covered them with the quilt, I walked out of the room. The nurse had already got up, and I was a little embarrassed, “Nurse, I woke you up. .”

This time we came to Daye, we only brought one nanny, Wuye and the others also brought one, the two nanny agreed to take turns to take care of the child, the ones who were outside yesterday happened to be the nanny of Jia Gu and Jia Zhang.

I talked to the nanny for a while, then left the room, intending to go to the kitchen to prepare breakfast for the little ones, and help the garden owner get some medicinal food, and the second and fifth masters can also make up for it.

One after another, the servants got up one after another, and I nodded one by one, then came to the kitchen, after a long time of busy work, Xiaodongzi came to find him, "Qingyi, I knew you were here, the second master got up and was looking for you. "

"Well, ask someone to bring these to us." Just as my work at hand came to an end, I washed my hands, and after explaining to Xiao Dongzi, I went back to our wing.

"Why don't you sleep a little longer?" I opened the door and went in, and saw Er Ye sitting at the table with a file in his hand, feeling sorry for his tiredness. He had just arrived in Daye, and there were a lot of things to do wait for him.

"Enough sleep, how about you? Where did you go so early in the morning?" The second master smiled lightly and got up, and pulled me to sit beside him. I took the opportunity to sit down and explained my whereabouts in the morning.

"Don't be tired, it's good to have someone cook breakfast." The second master felt a little distressed, and I smiled and said, "I'm afraid that the ingredients in Taoyuan will be wasted, so it's safer to do it myself."

Not long after, Xiaodongzi brought the breakfast, and I asked him to invite the garden owner and fifth master. After the four of us finished our breakfast, the four children just woke up.

"Today, you can go for a walk around the neighborhood. Fifth Master and I are done with our work, and I will take you to a farther place tomorrow." Second Master said, I nodded and let him go to work, and ignore us.

The second master and the fifth master took Yuan Qi out and left Xiaodongzi to us. I took the opportunity to ask Xiaodongzi how things were going with Yuan Qi. Xiaodongzi was too shy to speak. He makes a clearance.

We chatted and laughed for a while, and the four children came over after breakfast, and asked us to take them out to play. Xiao Dongzi said that the nearby scenery is good, so we can go for a walk.

We took our four children, plus a few servants, and went out for an outing. Sitting in the carriage, looking at the surrounding scenery, the four children were very happy.

The place Xiaodongzi took us was not far away. There was an open grassland. Xiaodongzi also prepared paper kites, which made the four children very happy. There was a gazebo next to the grassland. We sat in the pavilion and watched the little carrot heads laying paper kite.

"Xiao Dongzi, is everything going well in Daye's factory?" I asked seemingly unintentionally, Xiao Dongzi glanced at me and said with a smile, "Everything is fine, do you want to ask Mr. Ke?"

"Well, tell me if you know." I glanced at him and urged him. The owner of the garden was also very curious, wondering if Mr. Ke had been made things difficult by Yuan Qi after he came to Daye.

"That Mr. Ke is an idiot, he doesn't know anything about the mine, and he just points fingers when he arrives, which makes Yuan Qi very angry." Xiao Dongzi said angrily, and I imagined that scene in my mind.

"I'm still relying on the fact that there is a big president behind me, and I'm pretending to be a tiger here." Xiaodongzi said disdainfully, and I was a little curious, "Did Yuan Qi not fight back?" suffer.

"Yes, Yuan Qi sent a telegram to the President to remove Mr. Ke's position." Xiao Dongzi smiled and said, I was slightly taken aback, this Yuan Qi is also a ruthless character, so he went directly to Li Yuanhong.

"Will the President listen to Yuan Qi?" The owner of the garden glanced at me with a half-smile, I touched my nose and confessed leniently, "Second Lord has informed the President in advance."

"What happened later? What happened after Mr. Ke was dismissed?" The owner of the garden changed the topic and continued to ask Mr. Ke. Yuan Qi kicked back to Beijing."

"Is he giving up so easily?" I asked suspiciously, Xiao Dongzi shrugged, "I don't know the details, anyway, Yuan Qi only said that he drove him away."

"Then who is Li Yuanhong's current subordinate?" Mr. Ke has been replaced, and the President will definitely send another person over, and it is unknown who will take over.

"I haven't seen it yet, I heard it's only here today." Xiao Dongzi said, looking at the backs of Jia Gu and Jia Zhang running on the grass, I felt uneasy for some reason.

When the four children had had enough fun, we headed back to the mansion and sat in the carriage, feeling more and more uneasy. When we got back to the mansion, I hurriedly asked the servants, and learned that the second master and the others hadn't come back yet.

The owner of the garden saw that my expression was wrong, and asked, "What's the matter? You're in a daze." I asked Ai Ai expectantly, "Master, I'm a little worried." The owner raised his eyebrows, "What are you worried about?"

"I don't know, I'm just flustered." I clenched my hands and frowned, the garden owner pulled me into the front hall and sat down, and poured me a cup of hot tea, "Have some tea first, calm down. "

I was holding the teacup, but my face was still ugly. At this time, Xiaodongzi hurried into the front hall, "Qingyi! Come on! Follow me to the hospital!" When I heard that, I got up quickly, "Why do you want to go to the hospital? What's wrong?"

"Second Master is injured! Hurry up!" Xiaodongzi pulled me to go out, the garden owner hurriedly said, "Go and see, I will take care of the child at home and wait for your news."

Xiaodongzi took me to the hospital near the factory. The fifth master was already waiting outside the ward. When he saw it was me, he felt apologetic, "Tsing Yi, I'm sorry, Han Yun is here to protect me..."

"What's the matter? What happened?" I panicked. It turned out that when they went to the station to pick up the people sent by Li Yuanhong, someone rushed out and swung a knife at Wu Ye.

The second master reacted quickly and pulled the fifth master to the side, but he was stabbed. Fortunately, it was only stabbed in the arm. I breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the chair outside the ward.

"The doctor is still treating me, so I'll send someone back to inform you first." The fifth master said in a low voice, and I nodded, "Thank you for the notification, the fifth master, and don't think too much. protect you."

Fifth Master pursed his lips and did not speak. After a while, the doctor walked out of the ward and signaled that we could go in. As soon as I entered, I saw Second Master hanging his hands, leaning on the hospital bed weakly.

"Han Yun, does the wound still hurt?" I stepped forward and asked softly, the second master opened his eyes and smiled slightly, "I'm worrying you, the doctor just bandaged it up, and the pain is gone."

"Han Yun, thank you very much today." The fifth master walked to the hospital bed and once again solemnly thanked the second master. The second master shook his head, "It should." After talking for a while, the fifth master took Xiao Dongzi Leave first, the owner of the garden is still waiting for him in the mansion.

"What's the matter?" As soon as the fifth master left, I hurriedly asked, although the fifth master had said it just now, but I wanted to hear the second master's opinion, the second master pondered for a while, and said: "That person seems to be It's for Master Wu."

"Fifth Master is not familiar with the place here, how could anyone want to do him harm?" I was a little puzzled, Second Master shook his head, "I don't know, but I guess it has something to do with Wan Gongzi."

"Why is it him again! Why is he so lingering." I lamented that it was really frustrating to be unable to get rid of him in Daye. Seeing my expression, the second master burst out laughing.

"Unfortunately, I have some bad news to tell you." The second master was a little helpless, and my heart skipped a beat, "Don't tell me there is something wrong with Li Yuanhong's subordinates?" The second master was surprised, "How do you know?"

"Finally, what's the bad news?" I waved my hand and prepared myself, but I was surprised by what the second master said next. Li Yuanhong's subordinate was actually that Mr. Wan? !

"Didn't Yuan Keduan want to attack Li Yuanhong? How could Mr. Wan become Li Yuanhong's subordinate?" I was really confused, what exactly did Yuan Keduan want to do?

"It seems that the fourth younger brother has a think tank by his side. He asked the fourth younger brother to make friends with Li Yuanhong on the surface, but secretly eroded his power. Otherwise, why would the big pie of the mine be sent to take over by the surname Wan? "

"So Li Yuanhong's side has been infiltrated?" I was extremely surprised, Yuan Keduan is so capable?He was able to put people beside Li Yuanhong, and let him send Mr. Wan to Daye as his confidant.

"It's not impossible, and it seems that the people I originally sent to the fourth brother's side have all been eradicated." The second master's face was a little ugly, and he didn't expect that Yuan Keduan would turn against him.

Although it was said that Mr. Ke was driven away, Mr. Wan came. He wanted to kidnap Li Yuanhong as a backer, but found that the president seemed to have been emptied. He didn't expect Yuan Keduan to make such a quick move.

"It seems that it is not unreasonable for my father to value him." The second master snorted coldly, which was an acknowledgment of Yuan Keduan's strength. There are not many times when he can be defeated by the second master. Yuan Keduan's counterattack is not unsuccessful.

"Then what should we do next?" I was a little worried, and the uneasiness in my heart really came true. The second master was injured when he came to Daye, and he had to receive Mr. Wan next, so he vomited no matter what he thought.

"It's okay, he wants a piece of the pie, and I'm not a stingy person, after all, it's my younger brother, so it doesn't matter if I let him earn some money." The second master said lightly, but I knew that he should have some calculations in his heart.

"It's just that the surname Wan offends me, and I won't make it easy for him." The second master narrowed his eyes, looking at his injury, I was also planning in my heart to teach Mr. Wan a lesson.

"Where is Mr. Wan now?" I asked, the second master raised his eyebrows, "I left him in the hotel, if he is sensible, he should stay in the hotel obediently."

Not long after, the doctor wearing a white coat came back, checked Erye's injuries, prescribed some medicine for us, and instructed us to leave the hospital.

I helped Erye get into the carriage and was about to go back to the mansion, but I didn't expect that the carriage was stopped in the middle of the journey. We listened to the coachman negotiating with the passers-by, and we looked at each other. I took Erye into Taoyuan.

When we came to the bronze mirror and looked at the condition of the carriage, the driver had been killed, and the people blocking the road were dressed in ragged clothes, like a group of bandits. My second master and I frowned, who was it? Fifth master to start?

Could it be Yuan Keduan?Could it be that he sent Mr. Wan to do business with the second master on the surface, but in fact he wanted to get rid of the second master so that he could take over the mine?If this is the case, how sad the second master must be. His fourth brother actually wants to put himself to death.

But looking at the expression of the second master, I seemed to have already thought about it, so I sighed, "Han Yun, don't think about anything, it's important to recover from your injuries, I'll take you back first."

The second master nodded stiffly. We used the bronze mirror to come to a small alley behind the mansion, walked out the alley and walked towards the gate of the mansion. The fifth master had already sent someone to wait at the door. As soon as we returned to the mansion, the fifth master came out to welcome us.

"What's going on? I heard something happened to the coachman?" The fifth master was full of worry, and the second master and I quickly told the story, omitting Taoyuan, and only said that we were attacked and managed to escape.
