Qiao Shikuan put down his knife and fork and stared at the food in front of him.
Ever since he read Mu Tian in the newspaper, he has been restless, even a little bit indifferent. Coupled with the fact that Uncle Geng kept chanting "Little Master" in his ear every chance he got, it made him feel that everything was possible.
possible.
At this time, Geng Yibiao knocked on the door and came in.
He held the tray and walked up to Qiao Shikuan, bowed and said: "Master."
In Qiao's Mansion, Geng Yibiao only calls him master, and there is no such thing as first master or second master. In his opinion, Qiao Shiyou is nothing, just a weakling who is cunning and cunning. But he is the master's cousin.
His younger brother appeared in Qiao's house. As a housekeeper, Geng Yibiao also found out a lot of Qiao Shiyou's secrets, but due to the protection of his master Qiao Shikuan, he kept them in his heart. He really didn't want to see Qiao Shikuan hurt.
"Oh, Uncle Geng, sit down and have something to eat together."
"Thank you, sir. Do you still remember this object?"
Qiao Shikuan's eyes lingered on Geng Yibiao's face for a moment, as if he wanted to find out what was going on, and then he turned his eyes to the tray in Geng Yibiao's hand.
On top of that is a folded piece of fabric.
Geng Yibiao handed it forward again.
Qiao Shikuan picked up a corner and picked up the fabric.
Shawl!Russian shawl?!
Qiao Shikuan was shocked. His shawl fell on the tray and then slipped to the ground.
Geng Yibiao hurriedly bent down to pick it up and stroked it lovingly.
Seeing things and thinking about people, all the things about Su Xiaoxiao from back then appeared before Qiao Shikuan's eyes.
"This thing is a token that the master gave to Miss Su back then. Now I have found it at Mu Tian's place. There is no doubt that this is the miss's old thing. And young master, from this we can see that the young master is still alive, and even Mu Tian has no doubt about it."
"How did you get it?" Qiao Shikuan, still in shock, asked tremblingly.
It turns out that the world is full of coincidences. Since Mu Tian was sent to the police station for beating up a Japanese ronin, and Hu Ti got involved in the Taishan Society under the introduction of Uncle Yao, Hu Ti moved out of the Dahua Apartment and moved into a house in Qixingli.
Aunt Wan's house at No. 157 rents a pavilion room.
The move was arranged by Wang Dabin, and Qixingli was protected by Mount Tai. He was not afraid of foreigners, and he expected that those foreigners would not dare to make trouble here.
The principle that Wang Dabin believes in is: the soft are afraid of the hard, the hard are afraid of the violent, and the violent are afraid of losing their lives. It is understandable that the government is afraid of foreigners, because most of their children and relatives have gone to foreign countries, and they themselves
All the money collected has also been transferred abroad. If you go against the foreigners, they will lose.
Wang Dabin is not afraid. He is a native gang and has its roots in the land in front of him. No matter how awesome the foreigners are, they can only make a scar as big as a bowl. Not to mention that there are tens of thousands of brothers in the Taishan Society. They can kill no matter how hard they fight.
Enough.
There is another reason. Wang Dabin is Aunt Wan's godson. The wealth does not go to outsiders. If there is a tenant, it is natural to introduce and arrange it to his own family. And this godson, Aunt Wan recognizes him as a legend. I think back then, Wang Dabin was still a
A simple little brother who follows his senior brother to collect protection fees.
Aunt Wan was a strong-willed and sophisticated woman. When she first came up, she scolded them for having no conscience. Instead of fighting the Japanese devils, a bunch of big men went so far as to collect protection money from the residences of anti-Japanese generals in the rear!
A group of minions from the Taishan Society were actually silenced by Aunt Wan's rhetoric. They felt so ashamed that they gave up.
But Wang Dabin didn't give up. He immediately fell in love with Ouyang Hui, who was only thirteen or fourteen years old, but already a tall girl. The next day, he asked a matchmaker to come to propose marriage.
But Aunt Wan heard that the other party was from a gang and was seven or eight years older, so she politely declined.
Wang Dabin refused to give up. While dressing up like a polite company executive, he planned some small tricks for his brothers, and then intervened to smooth things over, so that Aunt Wan would be moved.
But Wang Dabin didn't say anything more about proposing marriage. He only said that he wanted to recognize Aunt Wan as his godmother. Aunt Wan naturally knew what Wang Dabin was thinking, but it didn't hurt to have a godson with such a background. As for her daughter, that depends on her. If
If you can get along well, in this time of war and chaos, you can get married. And it is better to marry early than to marry late.
Save worry.
However, Ouyang Hui had never felt anything about this godbrother. Apart from bossing Wang Dabin around and exercising her "sister" right to act coquettishly, she never thought about men and women at all.
Wang Dabin admired Ouyang Hui for being both brave and strong, as well as extremely smart and knowledgeable. From then on, he obeyed his advice and responded to all requests. After that, the matter of marriage was not mentioned again, but the brother and sister had a deep love for each other.
That's what happened, just like Qiao'er met the grandma of the Seven Fairies - Qiao arrived home. Who is this Aunt Wan? She was the personal mother Qiao Shikuan hired for Su Xiaoxiao who was expecting child. At that time, Ouyang Hui was just one month old and her milk was
Feng Ying, and Aunt Wan’s ancestral home is Quanzhou, Fujian, and she is fellow villager with Su Xiaoxiao.
It was at that time that Geng Yibiao, who was the housekeeper of Qiao Mansion, met Aunt Wan.
Some women are born with love affairs. As soon as Geng Yibiao saw Aunt Wan, he fell in love with her. He often came to the small mansion just to see Aunt Wan on the excuse of his master's instructions.
However, Aunt Wan had a husband in her hometown. Old Ouyang was a fisherman in Quanzhou, so Geng Yibiao could only restrain himself and stop being polite.
Heaven sometimes fulfills people's wishes. A few years ago, old Ouyang's fishing boat was capsized by the wind and waves, and he was also buried in the belly of the fish. Originally, the man wanted to take a concubine, but now that there is no bond, the matter of men and women is no longer the same.
Of course. Geng Yibiao was delighted to be a father and regarded Ouyang Hui as his own son. The three of them lived happily, their love became stronger, and they also found mutual warmth in this troubled world.
However, Aunt Wan is afraid that she will wrong her daughter Ouyang Hui in the future, and Uncle Geng is also afraid that he will not be able to take care of Qiao Shikuan wholeheartedly after getting married, so they have always kept silent about getting married, but their feelings have not diminished at all, and you
It got even worse. In this way, for twenty years, they have been living a "walking marriage" life.
On this day, Geng Yibiao went to Qixingli to visit Aunt Wan as usual, and met Hu Ti moving in. He saw Hu Ti in the background of the newspaper photo, knew that he was with Mu Tian, and praised him as a hero who beat up the Japanese ronin.
.
After all, Hu Ti was young. After some good words, Hu Ti immediately felt extremely comfortable and excited. He almost put everything he knew about Mu Tian and the details of Niang and Erniang, including conjectures and imaginations, against Geng Yibiao and Pan.
Presented. Even Geng Yibiao took the shawl by surprise without noticing.
Now the shawl has a different taste in front of Mr. Qiao Shikuan.
"I want to recognize my relative." Qiao Shikuan's tone was long but firm. "Uncle Geng, what do you think?" He asked, holding back tears.
Geng Yibiao was shocked, took a step back, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed, "Thank you, Master, but I will worry about the next thing. I am wise."
Qiao Shikuan stood up and helped Geng Yibiao, "Don't be like this. Just get up and talk. I couldn't blame you back then."
Geng Yibiao stood up and bowed again: "But it depends on the master's orders."
"Go and ask the second master to come over. I have something to say."
