Marriage of the Republic of China

Chapter 24

Na Mengliu cleared the fire, and Bai Hanchen asked Qiu Dali to drive him home.Door to door service, this kid doesn't want to go wild anywhere tonight.Gambling is often a whim, and it's fine if you hold it back.

After tidying up Meng Liu, Bai Hanchen suddenly remembered that he promised his elder brother to call in the morning, and rushed to the living room.When making calls to other provinces, I have to go to the connection several times, and when I get connected, the phone rings again, and no one on both sides can hear what they are saying.Bai Hanchen thought otherwise, he would send a telegram and ask the front desk to forward it to Jin Yulin.

Mr. Pei, who was in charge of sending the telegram, had gone home early, so he had to send it again tomorrow.Bai Hanchen wrote the content to be sent to Lao Feng, and asked him to send the telegram as soon as Mr. Pei arrived tomorrow.In the telegram it was written "on a business trip, don't look for it". He estimated that Jin Yulin could understand it, so he wrote more, lest others would see the clue.

After bringing the words to the elder brother and telling him to rest well, Bai Hanchen went back to the east courtyard and knocked on the door of Fu Wenge's room.Just at the gate, when he heard Meng Liu call Fu Wenge "Second Sister-in-law", he wanted to laugh.But seeing the other party's expression of wanting to give Meng Liuye a big back, he had no choice but to hold back.

There are all things going on at home and outside, only with Fu Wenge in front of him can he feel more relaxed.This little man has a clear mind, happy and unhappy all hang on his face, and he doesn't feel tired when he gets along.But it can't be too casual, Fu Wenge's strikes are neither serious nor serious, it really gives him black eyes, he can't meet people when he goes out.

When he opened the door and saw Bai Hanchen, Fu Wenge immediately turned his head to avoid meeting his eyes.What happened just now was a joke, and he was definitely the one to be made fun of.

Bai Hanchen held back his smile, and comforted him: "Okay, don't worry about it, Meng Liu'er just plays like that, and he never has a doorman. If you want to be serious with someone like him, ten of them will be pissed off."

"What kind of friends do you have?" Fu Wenge was full of displeasure.

Now Bai Hanchen couldn't bear it anymore, and smiled with the corners of his mouth pulled: "Hey, didn't you say that making friends is the time for personal freedom?"

"It's different, both Yunfei and Xiaomo are good people, but Meng Liu—" Fu Wenge bit his lip in the middle of speaking.Educate him when he was young, don't criticize others behind his back.One is that it is inevitable to be biased and cause a bad influence on the other party, and the other is to defeat one's own virtue.

"Huh? What happened to him?" Bai Hanchen was curious.

"No...it's nothing, anyway, I don't want to see him anymore." Fu Wenge supported the door frame, "Do you have anything else to do? I'm going to study."

"Then you study and go to bed early."

"You go to bed early, too."

Fu Wenge closed the door, turned around and leaned against the door, exhaling heavily.Right now, I can't look at Bai Hanchen at all, otherwise I always feel like I'm about to be seen through by the other party.

Not long after Bai Hanchen returned to the house, Yue'er knocked on the door and said that the master called him over.After a day of tossing around, he was exhausted physically and mentally, and he listened to his father's call again, his mood that had just relaxed immediately became tense.

Seeing her son coming in, Sun Baoting patted her husband's arm, gave him a look with something to say, and went out.Bai Yukun half leaned against the head of the bed, and there was a bowl of white fungus and lotus seed soup on the small square table at hand, and he only drank half of it.

"Han Chen, sit down." He raised his hand to his son.

Pulling over the bench and sitting down, Bai Hanchen waited to listen to his father's lecture.He guessed that his dad already knew about the construction site.But Bai Yukun had always trusted his son to handle things well, and if he didn't need to spend a lot of money, he didn't ask questions at all.

Come on and leave...

Bai Yukun asked calmly, "Han Chen, how are you and Wen Ge?"

Um?Bai Hanchen had the wrong eyes.I thought I wanted to talk about my elder brother with him, but I didn't expect to talk about myself.

"That's it, it's the same as when we first came to our house." He said vaguely.

"That's it?" Bai Yukun frowned, "Han Chen, you never taught me to worry... It's been more than two months, even if you hold hands, you should have done so long ago, right?"

Raising his hand and rubbing his eyebrows, Bai Hanchen said helplessly, "Dad, then Fu Wenge has practiced in the Yanwu Hall. If he doesn't like it, he dares to throw me into the North Sea."

"What I want is to coax him to be happy. Who are you worse than in terms of eloquence?" Bai Yukun picked up the bowl, picked up the spoon, and put it down with a sigh.

Looking at his father, Bai Hanchen felt that within a day, silver strands appeared on his temples, which made people feel distressed.As for his father, he has spent most of his life worrying about the Bai family's business and the face of his ancestors. He has a great reputation in front of him, but he has never slept a few nights.

As for him, even though he was a concubine of the second wife, he had never suffered any grievances at home.Bai Yukun treated his sons equally, regardless of food and drink expenses or education and training, all had the same standard.When he was admitted to university, the old man set off firecrackers at the entrance of the alley for three days, wishing that the whole of Beiping would know that there was a college student in the Bai family.For another month, a porridge shop was set up at Dengshikou, doing a lot of good deeds to comfort the spirits of the ancestors in heaven.

Now that his father entrusts him to take care of most of the affairs outside the house, and he has full trust in him, he really shouldn't teach his father to worry about himself.But Fu Wenge said that he can only marry for love, if he deceives the other party's favor with sweet words, he will lose the integrity of a man.

Frowning, Bai Hanchen said: "Dad, you take care of me steadily, I know it well."

"When will the marriage between you two be finalized, and when will I be able to feel at ease." Bai Yukun shook his head, "Oh, yes, Hanchen, take some time to go to Yanshan Hotel tomorrow and help me take a look at You Lin. Tell him this I have something to do in two days, so let's not pass it."

"Understood." Bai Hanchen stood up, "Dad, if it's okay, I'll go back to the room first, I'm going to be tossed and disabled today."

Bai Yukun waved his hand, telling him to go back to the room to rest.

At the dinner table in the morning, I heard Bai Hanchen talking about going to see Rong Youlin, and Fu Wenge asked him if he could help me bring the German materials there, and asked him to translate them.

"Brother Fu, do you want a German translator?" Bai Hanxing said, "Our homeroom teacher came back from studying in Germany. I can ask you about it. Uncle Rong is inconvenient, so don't bother him."

"What's wrong with him?" Fu Wenge didn't know what was going on with Rong Youlin.

"I'm going to be an older brother." Bai Hanxing held the chopsticks in his mouth, and gestured on his stomach with empty hands.

Bai Hanchen pulled the chopsticks out of his younger brother's mouth, and said displeasedly: "You are not allowed to pick up the chopsticks, you have forgotten the rules of the dinner table."

"Brother, I'm your younger brother, not your subordinate, please don't always speak in an orderly tone." Bai Hanxing curled his lips, "You always talk to Brother Fu as if you are giving orders, no wonder people hate you."

These words made Fu Wenge feel a little embarrassed, and secretly glanced at Bai Hanchen.To be honest, he really doesn't hate Bai Hanchen so much now.Aside from Bai Hanchen's feudal patriarchal style, there is really nothing to be picky about in other aspects.

Oh yes, going to Bada Hutong is quite disturbing, but it seems that he hasn't smelled powder on him recently.

"I'm not Xian Dayang, how can anyone like it when they see it?" Bai Hanchen said something, "No, some people don't like money, as the saying goes, 'Money is precious, but love is more expensive'."

As he spoke, he glanced at Fu Wenge.Marry love?Oh, do you always know what love looks like?

"Brother, did you study for nothing in college?" Bai Hanxing showed contempt, "That's called 'Life is precious, love is more expensive'."

Bai Hanchen sneered: "Do you teach me? The following is 'If it's for freedom, both can be discarded', how about I recite it for you in Hungarian?"

"Really? Brother, you can speak Hungarian. Come, come, come and listen."

"Did you understand what I said?",

"..." Bai Hanxing narrowed his eyes, "Oh, so you helped me."

"Believe what you say, you, be careful, don't turn around and tell people to sell it and pay for it."

Fu Wenge just heard that Bai Hanchen used words to run on him, so he put down his chopsticks and said, "Second Young Master, let's listen to it, I can understand it."

Bai Hanchen raised his eyebrows: "Do you understand Hungarian?"

"I don't understand, but I still know the original text of "Ode to Freedom." Fu Wenge looked at him provocatively, "Senior Zheng taught me, and he is also good at Latin. He is our teaching assistant for elective courses."

As soon as he heard the three words "Senior Zheng", Bai Hanchen's mouth was full of teeth.Pushing the bowl away, he ignored the problem of reciting poems, but said to Wen Ge, "Don't you want to translate German materials? Go get them, I'm going out soon."

Fu Wenge was taken aback: "But didn't Gang Hanxing say—"

"I majored in English and minored in German in college." Bai Hanchen said coldly.

Can you speak Latin?Can you translate German materials?

Fu Wenge brought two German medical journals to Bai Hanchen, and ticked off a few articles to be translated on the catalog page.Bai Hanchen took a look, then ran to the backyard with the book in his arms.After getting in the car, I asked Qiu Dali to drive to Yanshan Hotel first.

Yanshan Hotel is located in the suburb of Beicheng, very close to Yenching University and National Tsinghua University, where academic masters often stay.The whole building is in Baroque style. The original owner was a Portuguese envoy to China. After returning home, he sold it to a wealthy Shanxi businessman.This wealthy businessman was also surnamed Bai, and he looked up several generations of genealogy and found that he was related to the Bai family.

Rong Youlin lives here every time he comes to Peking, one is convenient for walking to Yenching University, and the other is that he likes the decoration style of the hotel room.His grandfather was the secretary of the Portuguese governor in Australia, and his grandmother was the governor's niece. The family was once very famous in the local area.Later, the governor was dismissed due to changes in the upper-level situation. The new governor did not like the old governor's old department and often pushed out Rong Yulin's grandfather.

Grandfather was in his early forties, just when he was about to show his ambitions, but because he was not reused, he was depressed and spent all day drinking to drown his sorrows.Within two years, he suffered a sudden liver disease and passed away.The grandmother returned to China with her underage children and remarried, leaving the eldest son, Rong Yulin's father, who had already married and established a business, to live in Macau.

Father Rong has a loyal personality, but he is not good at learning, so he was sent to learn how to make furniture from his master early on.Because of his handsome appearance and down-to-earth personality, he was chosen by his master's daughter. After marriage, with the support of his father-in-law, he opened a furniture store, which specializes in making luxury furniture for local Portuguese and upper-class Chinese.Father Rong has two sons. The eldest son follows his father's personality and stays in the shop to learn his craft.The second son, namely Rong Yulin, was gifted and intelligent since he was a child. He traveled across the ocean to study in Europe at the age of 14. At the age of 26, he returned to his hometown and became a famous lawyer serving dignitaries in Hong Kong and Macau.

When seeing Rong Youlin for the first time, besides being shocked by his overpowering appearance, Bai Hanchen also wondered why such a man who acted like a European noble would willingly abandon his successful career and go back to the North to live with his father.At first he thought that Rong Youlin was interested in his father's money, but when he heard that Rong Youlin didn't plan to enter the Bai family, he didn't even want a title, which made him puzzled.

As a concubine, if the man is gone, not to mention having no children, even if you give birth to ten or eight children, you can't get a penny from the rightful owner.The rules are the rules, and the laws of the government are also set in this way.Bai Hanchen believed that, as a lawyer, Rong Youlin would not be unclear.

So it must be because of love?

Sometimes he looked at his father who seemed to be a different person in front of Rong Yulin, and his conversation was extremely gentle, and he would think of the way his parents were when they got along: one talking, the other listening, the speaker was eloquent, and the listener responded accordingly.It's totally different from Rong Youlin, if Bai Yukun's views are slightly biased, he will bluntly point out, and every time he can hit the crux of the problem to the point.

Indeed, Bai Hanchen knew better than anyone that his father needed such a person.Nowadays, unlike in the past, the door of the country is wide open, and new ideas and new cultures are pouring in, and those old concepts are gradually becoming obsolete.It's as if all the pawnshops with billing numbers have gone to open banks, and those who run north-south lines have also switched to investing in shopping malls.

What's more, Rong Youlin is not only good at speaking, but also has a wide range of interpersonal relationships, and he is also well versed in management. The Tianjin branch was established under his operation.When Bai Yukun went to Nanyang, he rented the boat, but now he rents the boat to others.The captains are all carefully selected by Rong Youlin. All Portuguese are rich in experience, and the least one has been at sea for 20 years.

After a long time, Bai Hanchen finally understood that the love between his father and Rong Yulin was because they both saw the future in each other.

The author has something to say: Tomorrow will be uploaded, so it will be updated after 11:[-] p.m.

Let me say a word.

What I want to say is that if everyone thinks the same and has the same values ​​and morals, the world will never be what it is now.Each character has its own personality traits, and the decisions it makes are all caused by personality, growth experience and environmental influences. Of course, I don't mean that I have a certain grasp of it. I just try to create a three-dimensional character.

In addition, the characters and plots created by literary works are welcome to discuss, but please do not rise to the author's three views.
