Chapter Fourteen Typical Ugly
What does it mean to have a narrow road to enemies? Wu Chaoyue and that beautiful girl are a narrow road to enemies! When we first met on the dock, Wu Chaoyue and the girl had already looked at each other and disliked each other, but neither of them never expected that the partner he was forced to date was exactly the other! One did not want to marry a rogue and became a disciple, and the other loved face and did not want to be embarrassed. So when Wu Chaoyue met the girl again, it seemed like Mars had encountered a powder barrel and exploded in an instant!
Fortunately, Liu Lichuan and others stopped him in time, otherwise the teacup next to the girl would definitely hit Wu Chaoyue's face on the spot. Although Wu Chaoyue did not have any habit of beating women, when he saw the girl picking up the teacup, he picked up the chair beside him without hesitation. Wu Jianzhang quickly stopped his baby grandson, scolding loudly, and winked at Wu Chaoyue like killing a chicken and wiping his neck, asking his grandson to calmly give his capable thug Liu Lichuan some face.
After much persuasion, Wu Jianzhang, Liu Lichuan and others finally calmed down Wu Chaoyue and the girl. Then Liu Lichuan asked about the time when Wu Chaoyue made enemies with the girl in confusion. Wu Chaoyue and the girl introduced each other and each made their own reasons. After a few words were wrong, they immediately began to sarcastically and sarcastically and scold each other. Then the irritable girl had to clench her fists and stood up again. Wu Chaoyue refused to show weakness, and also jumped up with her fists. In the end, it was the girl's father and Wu Jianzhang each took care of their own children, which then pressed Wu Chaoyue and the girl down again.
After finally understanding the incident, Wu Jianzhang and Liu Lichuan looked at each other and smiled bitterly, but they also completely died of the thought of matching Wu Chaoyue and the girl. However, the girl still refused to give up and said angrily: "Uncle Yuan, why didn't you tell me whose home is this before? I had already said it was this home of a traitor, and I wouldn't come here, so I'll dirty my shoes!"
"Wu Dasai!" Wu Chaoyue also shouted: "Send someone to invite a few monks and Taoists to chant scriptures for my house to eliminate evil spirits! Also, ask a few servants to prepare a bucket, wash the flower hall three times, and smoke the fragrance for another day! The day after tomorrow, I will ask a foreign priest to chant the Bible and help me expel evil spirits again!"
Although it was an angry words of fighting for face, Wu Chaoyue's words were indeed a bit too toxic to people of this era. Hearing this, not only the girl was so angry that she was so angry that her father couldn't stand it. He bowed to Liu Lichuan and said goodbye, and took his daughter away with him. Liu Lichuan hurriedly chased him to apologize for his nephew. Wu Jianzhang scolded him loudly and complained to Wu Chaoyue in a low voice, "Little ancestor, can you control your mouth? Zhou Lichun's identity is extraordinary, and he is a friend of your uncle Yuan for eight years. Can't you give you uncle Yuan some face?"
"It's her that she won't give us the Wu family face for now." Wu Chaoyue decided, and then complained in turn: "Grandpa, can't you choose a gentle and virtuous wife for me? If I marry such a tigress, do I still want to have a good life in the future?"
"I just want to find you a more powerful wife who can control you in the future!"
Wu Jianchang told the truth and said depressedly: "But it seems that it won't work. Even if you want to, others will definitely not."
"Thank you, I don't want to be a concubine like this." Wu Chaoyue rolled his eyes, then looked at Liu Lichuan and others who had already left the yard, and asked Wu Jianzhang a little strangely: "Grandpa, didn't you say that Uncle Yuan's brother is just a local guard? Why did he just say that his identity is not ordinary?"
"That Zhou Lichun is not only a land guard, but also the leader of the Qingpu Tangwan Gang." Wu Jianzhang explained casually, and said: "The Tangwan Gang dominated the Qingpu Fishing Market, with a large number of people. During the last time in the Bird Party, you, Uncle Yuan, and I, originally, were planning to ask him for help and ask him to bring the Tangwan Gang to help us."
"It's a gang again!" Wu Chaoyue snorted coldly, not like the comprador grandfather who had too much contact with these too energetic social organizations, and then snorted: "Fortunately, grandpa, you and Uncle Yuan didn't speak out, otherwise, it would be like to lead a wolf into the house. That shitty Tangwan Gang must take the opportunity to intervene in the Shanghai Wharf."
Wu Jianzhang was silent. In fact, Liu Lichuan had already sent a helper to the Tangwan Gang last time. At the cost of allowing the Tangwan Gang to intervene in the Shanghai Wharf, he asked Zhou Lichun to help. However, because of Wu Chaoyue's sudden emergence, Liu Lichuan asked Zhou Lichun to temporarily hold his troops. After Wu Chaoyue solved the matter himself, Liu Lichuan was not willing to let the Tangwan Gang divide the territory and rush to trade, and could not find an excuse to break his promise and repent. Then he came up with the bad idea of serving Wu Chaoyue and his brother and daughter, intending to repay his brother with good things to marry the children of the official family, and also took the opportunity to lose the territory account, so what happened today happened.
Unwilling to tell these dirty things to his baby grandson, Wu Jianzhang waved his hand and ended the matter, sending his grandson back to his room to rest. Wu Chaoyue also vaguely had a little regret after returning to the room and said to himself: "Actually, that little girl is really good-looking, she has a good face and a figure. If she can change her temper, she will marry her as a wife, which is not impossible to consider."
Regret was useless. After another night, at noon the next day, although the foreign priests did not come and force Wu Chaoyue to the dock to help preach, Wu Chaoyue, who couldn't find anything to do, was bored and took Wu Dasai and others to the dock to take the initiative to learn about the foreign priest's missionary situation and pass the time.
The situation on the dock made Wu Chaoyue very satisfied. Almost all the dock workers had joined the ranks of reciting the Bible. The foreign priests were busy teaching and got along very well with the dock workers. The gangs of all sizes no longer interfered with and destroyed them. They all supported the foreign priests to spread the Bible to the dock workers they controlled. Seeing this, Wu Chaoyue had such thoughts in his mind, and he thought: "Do you should encourage these foreign priests to set up church schools? Using the sign of missionary preaching, foreigners contribute money and efforts to bring the children of these dock workers into schools, so that these poor children can receive some knowledge of arts and science? Well, this is a good thing, for the good of the poor children, and this should be done."
When he made up his mind and was thinking about how to encourage foreigners to provide free education to poor Chinese children, Wu Dasai, the dog-legged man next to him suddenly came up and whispered: "Young Master Sun, look, that little girl yesterday!"
Following the direction Wu Dasai's guidance, the beautiful girl who almost legally rolled the sheets with Wu Chaoyue also came to the dock. Although she had changed into ordinary outfits, she still couldn't hide her charming appearance. She was also pointing at the dock workers who were reciting the Bible together with her father, Liu Lichuan and others.
Seeing this scene, Wu Chaoyue was too lazy to pay attention to it, but unfortunately, when Wu Chaoyue was about to turn around, the girl turned her head inadvertently and happened to see Wu Chaoyue. Her eyes collided, and the girl's beautiful eyes immediately ejaculated a little bit of angry Mars, and then she quickly turned her head away.
It was destined to be involved. Wu Chaoyue wanted to go far, but a foreign priest ran to Liu Lichuan and others, chatting and wondering what he said. Liu Lichuan couldn't understand, and the foreign priest could not express the meaning clearly in rigid Chinese. The two were anxious and helpless, and they saw Wu Chaoyue walking away again. Then the foreign priest was overjoyed and immediately greeted Wu Chaoyue and asked Wu Chaoyue to come over to help translate. Wu Chaoyue had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk over, and was forced to get along with the girl with dissatisfaction with her horoscope again.
The reason why the foreign priest looked for Liu Lichuan was very simple. It was that a foreign merchant ship had to load the goods in a hurry, but could not find a free loader for a while. In order to thank the foreign ship for its voluntary assistance, the foreign priest volunteered to find the familiar Liu Lichuan to help him. After Wu Chaoyue translated the meaning of the foreign priest into Chinese, Liu Lichuan immediately asked his men to draw workers to load the rush ship first. The foreign priest then said thankfully and left. Before leaving, he hugged Wu Chaoyue intimately and kept thanking him.
The priest left happily, but Wu Chaoyue got along with the girl in embarrassment. Fortunately, the girl just kept silent and did not speak like yesterday. Liu Lichuan, who had not completely given up, was also proud to say to his betrothed brother Zhou Lichun: "Brother Lichun, do you see it? Is my eldest nephew a great talent? Even my uncle Shuang admits that he speaks foreign words more fluent than my uncle Shuang."
Zhou Lichun snorted as an answer, and took the opportunity to say, "Ayuan, it seems that your manpower is not enough. You have to borrow people from other ships to load and unload. Do you want me to help you send some people? I dare not say that if there are too many, there are 500 people and 600 people, and there will be one if you say it."
Liu Lichuan's eyes flashed strangely and he said, "Thank you, Brother Lichun, but there is no need to worry. Today, it just happened that there were so many boats, so he was a little busy. It was a normal thing. Brother, my workers often couldn't even get work, and they complained every few days."
Zhou Lichun's face changed a little, and he immediately understood that Liu Lichuan was planning to break his promise and did not want his Tangwan to help Shanghai Wharf to share the wealth. In anger, Zhou Lichun was about to make a clear decision and directly asked Liu Lichuan when he would fulfill his promise last time, but another foreign priest suddenly came to Wu Chaoyue, gave Wu Chaoyue a bear hug without saying a word, fucking fluent Chinese, saying, "Dear Wu, it's so good to see you, what happened? I heard that you hurriedly left the wharf yesterday afternoon. It seemed that there was something urgent, what urgent?"
Wu Chaoyue took a closer look and recognized that the missionary was a Frenchman. There was a Chinese name named Meng Zhensheng. He was also one of the missionaries who went to Songjiang Prefecture to complain. He smiled and replied, "Father Meng Zhensheng, I am very sorry. Something happened at my house yesterday, so I left the dock early."
"What happened to your family?" Meng Zhensheng was very enthusiastic and immediately said: "If you need my help, just speak and I will do my best."
Wu Chaoyue smiled and thanked him and said no, but Meng Zhensheng broke the casserole pattern to the end. He must ask what happened. Wu Chaoyue was forced to helplessly, so he could only tell the truth and said, "Yesterday, my grandfather arranged a marriage for me and called me back to meet the woman. At that time, the servant in my family didn't explain it clearly, so I thought that something urgent happened, so I hurried home."
"Wu, are you going to get married?" Meng Zhensheng is worthy of being a Frenchman. He is most interested in such romantic things. He immediately asked: "Who is the woman? Is she beautiful?"
As he said that, Meng Zhensheng couldn't wait to pay attention to Zhou Lichun's daughter next to him. Because Meng Zhensheng and Wu Chaoyue were speaking Chinese, the girl could understand the meaning. When she saw the blonde and blue-eyed Meng Zhensheng staring at her, her pretty face inevitably turned red. Wu Chaoyue was afraid that there would be some troubles, so she hurriedly said: "Father, it's not her. I'm not very satisfied with the woman, so my marriage has not been confirmed yet."
"It's better if it's not her. I almost worried that you made the wrong choice." Meng Zhensheng said bluntly and immediately said with gratitude: "How can such an ordinary woman be worthy of being as outstanding and outstanding Chinese as Wu? Wu, if you want to get married, I can introduce some beautiful Western girls to you. Our Western girls are also full of curiosity about the mysterious China. They must be very willing to know you."
The girl's face turned pale. She never expected that in the eyes of foreigners, she was not worthy of the thin and ugly Wu Chaoyue at all. Zhou Lichun and Liu Lichuan on the other side were also dumbfounded. They also did not expect Meng Zhensheng to say such words. Only Wu Chaoyue knew the truth, so she smiled and said, "Thank you, respected Father Meng Zhensheng, I will ask you to introduce you if you have the chance. By the way, Mr. Father, are you okay with me?"
"I almost forgot." Meng Zhensheng slapped his forehead and said hurriedly: "Wu, I have something to ask you for trouble. I wonder if you have time tomorrow? I have a compatriot who hopes to meet you and have a closer talk. I wonder if you are willing?"
"Okay, I'm very happy to meet more French friends."
Wu Chaoyue agreed immediately. Meng Zhensheng was overjoyed when he heard this and agreed to meet at the dock the next morning. Meng Zhensheng took Wu Chaoyue to meet the Frenchman, and then Meng Zhensheng said goodbye and left. As soon as Meng Zhensheng walked away, the girl who had always looked very ugly couldn't help but spat and cursed, "Foreign devils, my eyes are blind!"
Seeing the girl's anger, Wu Chaoyue felt uncomfortable, so he pulled Liu Lichuan and said, "Uncle Yuan, do you know why foreigners think your niece is ugly?"
"Why?" Liu Lichuan asked curiously, and the girl immediately raised her ears.
"Because the aesthetics of foreigners are completely different from ours." Wu Chaoyue finally couldn't help laughing and said, "The beauty in the eyes of foreigners is that they have a high nose bridge and plump lips, and their chests are straight and thin waists. Foreign women have been slim since childhood. Your niece has neither a high nose bridge, a small mouth, and not that... and her waist is not thin enough, so in the eyes of foreigners, she is a typical..., a typical ugly monster."
Liu Lichuan burst into laughter when he heard this, but the girl's face turned completely blue - she was very confident in her appearance, but the more beautiful the woman was, the more she cared about other people's evaluation of her appearance. The girl could barely endure it by foreigners, but she was called an ugly monster by Wu Chaoyue in person - the girl of course had the urge to kill Wu Chaoyue on the spot.
The girl's father Zhou Lichun was also the one with a bad face. She snorted heavily. Zhou Lichun pulled her daughter away again. This time, Liu Lichuan not only did not blame Wu Chaoyue for speaking too directly, but instead quietly breathed a sigh of relief and said to himself: "Thank God, I finally got out of Shanghai. Otherwise, I would like to take out my letter to force me to divide the territory. I really can't find a way to refuse."
Wu Chaoyue and Liu Lichuan were so proud that they were secretly happy here, but what Wu Chaoyue and Liu Lichuan did not notice was that Yuan Wuba, the former Shanghai County Yassan leader who had been dismissed from his tea stall not far away, had been quietly paying attention to their situation. Seeing Zhou Lichun and his daughter walking away angrily, Yuan Wuba was puzzled and said in his heart: "Didn't Zhou Lichun from the Tangwan Gang befriend Liu Ayuan for eight years? Why did the two seem to be about to turn against each other?"
He blinked his triangle eyes and thought for a moment. Yuan Wuba, who was carrying Yuan Zuqi's secret order, made up his mind and threw a copper coin for tea, and then quietly chased Zhou Lichun and his daughter to leave...
