Republic of China celebrities

Hongye has never stayed at the Peace Hotel.

To be precise, she hardly ever stepped out of the Gu residence.

Before meeting the old lady, Hongye had never eaten cakes that cost one yuan and two yuan. Most of what she ate was red bean cakes that cost three copper coins and one piece. It is fragrant, but it doesn't look very good-looking, and the taste of the pastry is not delicate.

But after eating the pastry that the old man had no appetite to give her to taste that day in the old man's room, Hong Ye couldn't hold back eating while wiping tears, thinking that this world is really unfair, why can't she even hope for something that she can't afford? , Tired of others?

From that day on, she listened to Mr. Liao's advice, and with Mr. Liao's arrangement, she got into the old man's bed. From then on, she had everything in the old man's room at her fingertips, including the family property left by the old man when he died. share.

Hongye sat in the living room with the old man, looking around the room layout of the hotel with her dark eyes, and found that everything here is much more upscale than at home, even a crystal lamp with a glass cover is very beautiful.

Look at Gu Jia who was left by the old man that day. This third young master of unknown origin is very dignified. He does not have the good face when he came to see the old man before. He is sitting on the white sofa alone, with his straight legs folded on the other. Looking at her and the old man on one leg as if they were strangers, they are both superior and alienated from civilization.

But is it that such a young man who looks so innocent on the surface and looks very inviolable can really seduce Gu Wuji in order to destroy Gu's mansion? !

Hongye feels unbelievable, her eyes are both probing and contemptuous, she subconsciously feels that such a noble person is nothing more than that, but inside she is as filthy and lowly as herself, and she can give anything for money...

The old lady Gu is also looking at Gu Jia, but the initial impression has not disappeared, but the state of mind suddenly changed. Looking at the once skinny child in front of him, and the person with the first-class and unforgettable appearance, it is like looking at two people. , I didn't know how to open my mouth for a long time, as if I had exhausted all my mental energy before begging Gu Jia to let me in.

Gu Jia didn't intend to open his mouth either. Seeing that the old man was silent for a long time, he made himself a cup of coffee, and he was quite grudged so he didn't intend to respect the old and love the young, and he didn't intend to pour a cup for the old man and Hongye.

The coffee supply of the Peace Hotel may be from Indonesia. Gu Jia heard that coffee beans are produced there, but he has always drank American coffee. Compared with the two coffees, there is actually no difference. Anyway, he is both You need to add a lot of milk sugar to drink it.

The coffee was served in a white porcelain gold-rimmed teacup. This set of tea sets also looked very valuable. Hongye was in a daze for a moment, and suddenly saw a pile of gift boxes in the corner that looked like a hill. I don’t know who gave it... Four Father?

Finally, it was Mr. Gu who broke the silence. He said to Hongye beside him, "You go out first, I'd better talk to Gu Jia alone."

Hongye didn't want to leave, she whispered something in the old man's ear, the old man shook his head firmly and said, "Go out and wait, I'm fine."

Seeing the intimacy between the two, Gu Jia understood something, but it had nothing to do with him. Seeing the red leaves stepping out, Gu Jia sat across from the old man with a coffee and took a sip of the coffee first. The taste of sweetness and bitterness is mixed together, and I didn't taste anything the first time.

The air was filled with the aroma of coffee, Mr. Gu frowned at the foreign smell, and said, "This coffee belongs to foreigners..."

Gu Jia didn't know what old man Gu Qilin wanted to say.

"tasty?"

Gu Jia nodded: "The coffee itself is bitter, but with the addition of toffee, it becomes more palatable."

Mr. Gu let out an 'oh' and said, "I haven't drank it, but you young people seem to be very accepting of things from foreigners, and you don't like drinking tea anymore."

Gu Jia said: "Master Gu, if you have anything to say, just say it directly. You and I are not in a relationship that can be chatted about. There is no need to start with a charade."

Mr. Gu smiled helplessly, and said, "Well, I just come to ask you one thing."

"Please tell me, old man, but if you say it, I may not agree."

Old Master Gu lowered his wrinkled eyelids and said, "So I'm here to beg you, please let Gu Wuji let go."

Gu Jia frowned: "What do you mean?"

"It means literally." Mr. Gu said calmly, "I never feel sorry for you mother and son, nor do I feel sorry for Gu Wuji. On the contrary, I have high hopes for Gu Wuji. I believe he has enough ability to support me. After his death, he led his whole family to continue to devote himself to the Qing Dynasty. But I was wrong. Gu Wuji never accepted the thoughts I gave him. He was born with knowledge and has always been very clear about who he is. There is only one thing that I think about, which is to vent my anger for you mother and child."

Gu Jia was shocked, but it was inconvenient to show it in front of Mr. Gu. He had many questions, but he was unwilling to ask Mr. Gu, so he just continued to listen to Mr. Gu, with an inscrutable appearance as if he knew everything inside. .

Master Gu didn't seem surprised to see Gu Jia, which further confirmed his guess - Gu Jia really colluded with Gu Wuji to take revenge.But Mr. Gu never felt that he did anything wrong.

From the very beginning, it was his son, Gu Wenwu, who didn't live up to expectations.

How much I loved my childhood sweetheart Tong Yuxin back then, and how much I loved Qiao Nianjiao when I came back after running away from home.

Maybe men are like this when they see one and love the other, but Gu Wenwu is doing his own death if he gets caught in the smoke!Making Qiao Nianjiao a broken shoe is because Qiao Nianjiao doesn't love herself!The deformed child was the evil result of these two people's crimes, and it was the evil result of Gu Wenwu failing Tong Yuxin!

Mr. Gu used to be lenient and let Gu Jia and Gu Wuji live, which is already very magnanimous. Otherwise, based on the pain of the eldest daughter-in-law, Mr. Gu, who only loves the benefactor's daughter, would have been taken away by others. Jia and Gu Wuji sank into the pond together, and asked the Qiao family to take back Qiao Nianjiao, who was full of self-love and said 'we are free love'.

If you don't regret it later, Mr. Gu must have regretted the lenient back then, or regretted that only Gu Wuji should have been left behind, leaving the one-year-old Gu Jia to stay on the operating table forever...

"But if you really want revenge and feel that what I did to you and your mother was too much, you might as well come directly to me and don't give me back all the money I got from selling the house deed and land deed, I agree Mr. Cheng donated it to His Majesty together, his has already been donated, and mine cannot be left behind."

Hearing this, Gu Jia reluctantly explained: "I didn't intend to target you, but you targeted me." He will not have unreasonable malice towards anyone, even if others make things difficult for him, he can ignore it , it can be embarrassing for his Wuji, this will not work!

Mr. Gu didn't want to argue, he only thought that Gu Jia was unwilling to tell the truth because of his bad attitude towards him before, so Mr. Gu stood up, threw away his cane, then "plopped" down to his knees under Gu Jia's surprised eyes, and He kowtowed to Gu Jia slowly, but he didn't lift it up...

Gu Jia frowned, and her voice became colder and colder: "Mr. Gu, even if you die here, I don't know what your intention of looking for me is. I can't help you get the money back if you beg me. You sold the house yourself, and your manager Liao lost the money. It has nothing to do with me and Wuji, let alone you don’t want Wuji? Then we have nothing to do with it from that day on, and... ...Do you still want Wuji to be restored with you? Wake up, it’s gone early in the morning! Even if there are rumors everywhere that Manchuria is to be established, think about it, even if it is established, so what? Now the Republic of China A political center, who will obey him? Which warlord and commander is willing to follow him? Taking another [-] steps, even if Manchukuo is really established, do you think he has the ability to bring back all the concessions? Do you want to get back the real money that was paid out?"

"Master Gu, you are getting old, don't you think the world has changed? You can't go back."

"Do you want women to bind their feet again? Or do you want to restore the old ritual of being in groups and accepting everyone's kneeling? Do you want to continue to close the country?"

Gu Jia is not sensitive to politics, but following the ears and eyes of the seniors, she is also very eloquent.

Mr. Gu wanted to argue on purpose, but he couldn't keep up with Gu Jia's train of thought. Finally, his dry lips moaned a few times, and said, "But this world, after all, belongs to His Majesty..."

Gu Jia knows that there are many survivors nowadays, partly because of conservative thinking, nostalgia for the past, and feeling that the Qing Dynasty was better in the past, so they support Puyi's re-enthronement; Economic sources, so for their own vested interests, they are very supportive of restoration.

But no matter what it is, Brother Ding has said that it has become history. History is constantly advancing and will never retreat!

"No, the Qing Dynasty disappeared in 1912, and now it is called the Republic of China. This country belongs to everyone, not Puyi." Gu Jia said.

Afterwards, how the old man left the Peace Hotel, the old man is not very clear.

He didn't let Hong Ye follow him, and stood alone on the busy road, as if he had just woken up from an old dream suddenly, and heard the sound of cars and horses in the world from the voice of shouting "Long Live".

A passing coachman saw the well-dressed old man and immediately came over with a smile to solicit customers. The coachman also wore very little in the winter, but his smile was full of vigor and his voice was loud. He asked the old man, "Master, where are you going? You go there, it's very cheap."

Old Master Gu looked at the rickshaw, but he didn't get on it, and walked towards the Summer Palace on his own.

The reason why Old Master Gu came to Gu Jia was because he suspected that the whole matter, including the death of Director Liao, was a conspiracy between Gu Jia and Gu Wuji, so he hoped that Gu Jia would let go of his money. After all, the money did not belong to him. It is used by His Majesty to recruit soldiers and horses.

But after hearing Gu Jia's words, the old man Gu suddenly felt discouraged. He was not greedy for the benefits that the Qing Dynasty could give him, but felt that young people nowadays are no longer focused on restoring the Qing Dynasty. And thoughts confuse the mind and start thinking only for myself...

It's like the street vendors, foreign goods stores everywhere, restaurants in various countries, and schoolgirls dressed in messy clothes...

He found that no matter how much the old guys like himself wanted to go back to the past, they were powerless, because even if they had money, they couldn't change the way of thinking in the whole society, so what was he insisting on for so many years?

The old man Gu was very disappointed, his blood froze along with the laughter of all the young people around him.

When he walked to the Kunming Lake in the Summer Palace, he sat quietly on a big rock and smoked a pot of tobacco. The tobacco was shredded orchid tobacco, which tasted very good. He had only smoked this kind of tobacco for ten years.

When the last cigarette was exhausted, Mr. Gu exhaled blue smoke, put the cigarette stick on the big rock, took off the wrench in his hand, bowed three times and bowed nine times in the direction of Tianjin, and then jumped into Kunming. In the lake, Lord Wang Guowei, who also died in the Qing dynasty four years ago, sank to the bottom of the lake...
