"Do you still remember that during the Boxing Movement in Shaoxing ten years ago, there was a boxing bandit leader named Xia Jinfa who was wanted by the court?"

"I have an impression that he later sent someone to assassinate Li Cunzhi on his fiftieth birthday, but it failed. What happened to this man?"

Chen Tianhua briefly recalled it and then remembered it, but he had never seen Xia Jinfa before.

"Xia Jinfa secretly appeared in Shaoxing Mansion last month. A relative of my sister-in-law's family has been following him. This time he returned to Shaoxing. It is said that Xia Jinfa was to commemorate a woman who died ten years ago. The ten-year altar is in Shaoxing.

Very particular.”

"Xia Jinfa attaches great importance to friendship. The woman he paid homage to was her sweetheart. Her name was Landie. She was the leading actress in our Shaoxing opera troupe. She was as beautiful as a flower. Ten years ago, Xia Jinfa was involved in the Boxer Rebellion.

Movement, his power reached all the way to the provincial capital Hangzhou, because Lafayette of the Qing Dynasty supported it, so Li Cunzhi, the commander-in-chief of the Huai Army stationed in Zhejiang Province, had an inexplicable fierce fight with Xia Jinlong."

"At that time, Lan Die was with Xia Jinfa. As a result, she was fascinated by Li Cunzhi and decided to marry her as his fourth concubine. The family temporarily settled in Shaoxing Mansion. However, Xia Jinfa wanted to curry favor with the Huai Army Commander Biao, who had a strong army.

In order to have a greater future, I reluctantly gave up my love and let Lan Die follow Li Cunzhi."

"Unexpectedly, half a year later, the Eight-Power Allied Forces invaded Beijing and forced Cixi to order the suppression of the Boxer Rebellion. Li Cunzhi immediately turned against Xia Jinfa, drew a clear line, and personally led the Huai army to encircle and suppress Xia Jinfa's party members.

Forced to flee, he later sent a message to Lan Die to meet him in Yuyao. Unexpectedly, the matter was leaked and Li Cunzhi found out. Lan Die's speedboat had just left Shaoxing City and was intercepted by Li Cunzhi's speedboat on the Grand Canal.

All the people on the boat were killed."

"What about the boss of the ship that hired the ship?" Chen Tianhua suddenly shuddered and blurted out these words.

"It is said that they were all beaten to death. Only one boxer escaped from the scene. He was good at water and successfully escaped by jumping into the river." Hu Yaoxiang said.

She never expected that at this moment, she would be reminded of Chen Tianhua's life-and-death time travel ten years ago. His father, Chen Shaoan, was the boss of that clipper ship.

Somehow, the death of his father Chen Shaoan was actually related to his father-in-law Li Cunzhi, and the latter was considered the murderer.

In terms of blood relationship, Chen Shaoan is his biological father, because this body is that of Chen Tugen back then, but his soul was replaced by another one.

Revenge for killing one's father is a life-and-death affair!

This news was like a thunderbolt, which made Chen Tianhua faint and dazed in the cabin. His face was pale, but it was covered by the night.

"Hey Tugen... the boss... what's going on?" Hu Yaoxiang noticed something was wrong and hurriedly shouted.

"Haha, it's nothing. I didn't expect that my father-in-law would have such a romantic affair. Hehe... You have worked hard. I respect you for this drink."

Chen Tianhua came to his senses and quickly covered it up.

He had to investigate this matter secretly. He had to get to the bottom of it. There were all witnesses and evidence. He had to confirm that Li Cunzhi was on the official ship that chased Lan Die that day. It was Chen Shaoan, the ship's boss who he ordered to be shot.

Hu Yaoxiang didn't know what Chen Tianhua was thinking. Seeing that he poured wine for her personally and handed the wine bottle to her, she felt really flustered and sweet at the same time.

When the wine bottle was passed to her, she hurriedly stretched out her delicate white jade hands to take it.

I don't know whether it was because of panic and trembling, or whether it was intentional, her white and plump fingers touched the back of his hand, and her rounded nails touched the palm of his hand.

Her fingers were soft, warm and beautifully shaped, and it felt like an electric shock.

In the past, Chen Tianhua had praised the shape of her hand many times and held it in his palm many times, with an insatiable greed.

Hu Yaoxiang's impulsive little actions should not have been hidden from the delicate and sensitive Chen Tianhua, but today he had no intention of paying attention.

Her cheeks, which were originally a little shy, became more and more rosy, and her heart was filled with a feeling of

Unspeakable feelings, nervousness, longing, shyness...

"Master, you can do whatever you want... I'll do it."

She blushed, raised the wine bottle with her right hand, covered her cheek with her left sleeve, and drank the wine in one gulp.

"You...you drink slowly..."

Chen Tianhua came back to his senses and saw that Hu Yaoxiang drank the wine in one gulp tonight. He didn't know whether it was because of excitement or depression, anyway...

He quickly stroked the back of her hand and persuaded her.

At this time, Hu Yaoxiang actually enjoyed this ambiguous interaction and her lover's concern, "It doesn't matter, I often drink alone, so I won't get drunk with this little wine."

She accidentally revealed to him that her usual method of self-regulation was drinking.

For many years, she often drank by herself. Her personal maid, Shen, saw that she was sad and would drink a few bottles with her when she had something to do.

Therefore, her drinking capacity is amazing, much better than Chen Tianhua's.

Chen Tianhua also raised his neck and drank it all in one gulp.

Hu Yaoxiang raised her head, turned her beautiful eyes slightly, and looked at Chen Tianhua uncontrollably. He was like a pair of magnets, attracting her.

"The boss..."

After so many years, she has begun to enter middle age, but she is still a lady, a beautiful woman who needs love.

Especially in the dead of night when people are quiet, I can't sleep alone and cry alone.

After falling in love, people become sentimental, weak, and even cherish their own lives.

There was often a feeling that she had never experienced before, which made her heart, which had been tempered for many times, beat wildly and uncontrollably.

"Let's watch the Hualou competition together." Chen Tianhua suddenly changed the topic and talked about the current competition.

At this time, Red Sleeves Book Apartment was already being performed on the stage.

Both of them stretched out their heads from the cabin to look at the stage, while Hu Yaoxiang and Chen Tianhua were in the dark, their hands intertwined.

"The dance of Ziyan on Fengfeitai just now is really amazing, and Fengfeitai's overall strength is very strong, and the choreography is very novel and very contagious." Chen Tianhua said.

"I heard that the shortcomings of Red Sleeve Bookstore are in dance. If this girl Luan Rong can strengthen her dance skills to make up for the shortcomings of Red Sleeves, and the choreography is coordinated with the music and singing, integrating sight and hearing,

The sound of nature blended into one is still a little better than the purple smoke of Fengfeitai, at least not inferior to theirs!"

Hu Yaoxiang commented very professionally.

Hearing such a to-the-point comment, Chen Tianhua glanced at Hu Yaoxiang curiously, and suddenly thought that she was also the top brothel in Shaoxing Prefecture, and she started singing and dancing since she was a child.

Singing and dancing, like martial arts, are the basic skills of women.

It turns out that she is also an expert in singing, dancing and music.

At this time, on the stage, the prelude to the performance of Red Sleeves Bookstore has begun.

There are dozens of flute sounds, empty and misty, and the tune is very novel.

Just when the sound of the flute was about to disappear, suddenly, there was another burst of drums, chimes and guzheng sounds in the background.
