Chapter 82: Back home

Liu Gongzi came to ask for trouble a few days ago. He was taught by Liu Yanzhi, the gangster who was evil. Now it seems that the evil lad is a little wronged. The real evil lad will not commit suicide. As for this hapless guy, it was repaired by Liu Yanzhi. Suicide after a meal feels that she loses face, or is abandoned by Shen Xiaohong, love is frustrated and commits suicide, then it is unknown. In short, it is inseparable from these people in Meilan's book apartment.
Shen Xiaohong was very calm. He sat with the guests for a while, sent them away, went upstairs and took a nanmu box down, and then summoned the old mother and the tortoise, each of whom issued a banknote and arranged for them to go in softly. It only took half an hour to dismiss everyone.
The subordinates packed up their luggage, and Shen Xiaohong explained to everyone: "Liu Gongzi is the only son of a wealthy family, and he is also the great nephew of Liu Kun, the governor of Liangjiang. Although he swallowed cigarettes and committed suicide, he would always have some The villain is involved, the gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. Although Shanghai is good, it is not a place to stay for a long time. Let's just leave here."
Shen Xiaohong’s words are a bit unsympathetic. These days, Zhou Jiarui has taught Liu Yanzhi the culture of prostitutes in the Qing Dynasty, especially the book-house culture of Shanghai. In this era, men visiting brothels are not looking for excitement or venting their desires, but are really coming. In love, men usually get married and have early childbearing. Three wives and four concubines are also normal at home. The wife has children and reproduces. The concubine room is the solution, but love has nowhere to resolve, so you can only find prostitutes.
Mr. Shu Yu is proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and drawing, leading the trend of the times. His looks and body are first-class, and he has a set of fascinating skills. He is an expert in playing with men’s feelings. Undoubtedly, this Liu who swallows opium and seeks death The son was once a surrender under Shen Xiaohong’s pomegranate skirt. He had a good day with Mr. Shuyu. Every year, he couldn't pay for tens of thousands of taels of silver. The money was spent and people didn’t get it. He also suffered a lot of humiliation. The rich son was drunk and weak-willed. , It is reasonable to find death and life, but the fire is not right, and it is enough to make a lot of noise, why really die.
　　 Zhou Jiarui was drunk and drunk. He immediately became sober after hearing the news. The first thing he thought of was the proverb that is full of the wisdom of the working people.
Shen Xiaohong dismissed his servants and wanted to follow him to Beijing. This is not a good idea. He is in the difficult stage of working hard to start a business. It is a matter of how to bring a firework woman who has caused trouble, and let Li Zhongtang know. Great damage to their image.
　　Shen Xiaohong Bingxue is smart. You can tell Zhou Jiarui's embarrassment by looking at Zhou Jiarui's expression. He smiled lightly: "Master Zhou is about to go north, and the slave family should also go back to his hometown to visit his parents. Let's see you by chance."
　　 After a pause, he said, "If it's missed, then see you in the next life."
"You wait for me for a year, and I will come back to find you." Zhou Jiarui gritted his teeth and wrote a blank check. Shen Xiaohong smiled and said: "Okay, then make a one-year appointment." He said that, in fact, he understood. With Zhou Jiarui's talent, she will surely fly to the sky, and she will still remember herself as a firework woman at that time.
The incident happened suddenly, and everyone had to leave if they didn’t leave. Everyone bid farewell to each other. Shen Xiaohong’s house is rented. The rent is paid monthly and you can check out. The furniture and furnishings in this house can only be sold cheaply and expensively. You can also transfer your money to your peers. Don’t worry about the money stored in the bank. The banknotes are all exchanged in Suzhou and Hangzhou, but the business is doing well but you are forced to leave. I can’t help but feel sad.
"Sister, take care of me, there is nothing I can do after parting. Please accept this jade ruyi. Quan is just a thought." Lin Su took out the mutton white jade ruyi directly given to her by Liu Yan and solemnly presented it to Shen Xiaohong. .
　　 Shen Xiaohong declined for a long time, but accepted it, and said with tears: "Sister's wishes, I take it."
　　 Liu Mansion came back to find trouble at any time, Shen Xiaohong did not dare to delay, and went to Suzhou by boat overnight, and Zhou Jiarui also moved to Shanghai Daoyamen, and boarded with Li Hongzhang to Tianjin tomorrow morning.
　　 Liu Yanzhi and others still went back to the hotel. In the evening, on the streets of the main road, a gas lamp was shining brightly. Chinese in long robes and jackets and foreigners in suits and leather shoes came and went. The first city in the Far East was still in a ignorant infancy.
　　 "What's that?" Lin Su asked, pointing to a shop on the side of the road. It was a shop opened by a foreigner. There were black and white photos on the glass wall, and the signboard was written in foreign language with swashes.
　　 "It's a photo studio, do you want to take a photo." Liu Yanzhi suddenly became interested, and regardless of Lin Su's consent, he pulled her into the shop, negotiated with the French photographer who opened the shop, and stood in front of the backdrop wall.
Photographing is a big event in this era. People who come to take pictures have a sense of sacred ritual. Old-fashioned cameras are huge in size. The photographer puts his head in the black shading cloth, and then comes out again, gesturing to let the lady relax. Don't be so rigid.
　　 Facing the huge camera, Lin Su was very restrained. He didn’t know where to put her hand. 　 Liu Yan asked her to relax and relax all over, and said softly "eggplant."
Lin Su was very obedient, calmed his emotions, stood side by side with Liu Yan, and said eggplant to the camera. In an instant, the flash magnesium powder in the photographer's hand burned violently, bursting out a bright fire, white smoke rising, and frightened. Lin Su Huarong paled and held Liu Yanzhi's hand tightly.
　　 "Very good." The photographer poked his head out and held out his thumb, "Madam, one more picture."
　　 This time Lin Su was no longer afraid, smiled at the camera, and the magnesium powder exploded again, and the lady of the Qing Dynasty was frozen in the memory of history.
　　The speed of washing photos is very slow. It will take three days to get them. Liu Yanzhi can't wait that long. After paying the urgent fee, you can get them tomorrow.
　　……
　　 The next day, Liu Yan came straight to the photo studio to take a photo, a group photo, and a solo photo of Lin Su. The black and white silver salt photo from a hundred years ago was extremely clear, and the edges were carefully cut into lace.
Liu Yanzhi wanted to take away the film along with it for later processing, but he said that photographers like film for a long time didn’t understand, and finally realized that the camera uses a glass film, which is very thin, fragile and difficult to store. Humidity is required, so customers are not recommended to remove the film.
　　 "Why not use soft materials?" Liu Yanzhi said in half-baked French, "Silver bromide material is applied to the film, and one roll can take dozens of pictures, and the size of the camera can be reduced many times."
　　 "The technology you mentioned will be realized in about a hundred years." The photographer is not cold about this Chinaman's whimsical.
　　 Lin Su admired Liu Yanzhi's five-body attitude. The lover not only speaks English, but also speaks French fluently, not much better than Master Zhou.
　　 After taking the photo, the four of them went to Shiliupu Wharf to take a boat back to the near river. They still chartered a passenger ship and went upstream, passing the Yangtze River to Nanjing and then into the Huaijiang River, arriving at the near river mansion seven days later.
　　 When the boat arrived at the dock, Liu Yanzhi accompanied Lin Su and his second wife, and asked the housekeeper to come to the city to inquire about the situation.
The old butler was anxious. He first came near the home of a familiar princess in the prefect’s Yamen, and did not dare to enter the door. He only waited outside. After waiting two hours, he waited for people to come and greeted him from a distance. The official looked intently and was surprised: "Steward Lin, where did you go? Master Lin is looking for you everywhere."
　　 "My master is safe and sound?" The old housekeeper trembled.
　　 "It's more than safe and sound, and he has been promoted." The code official grabbed him, "Quickly follow me to Yantai Yamen, your adult has been promoted, and now I am the chief ambassador of Jiangdong Province, the second grade member."
Chief ambassador Siyamen, Lin Huaiyuan sat in a new official uniform sitting in the consignment room smug, he got a blessing in disguise, from the fourth-rank prefect to the second-rank chief ambassador, accomplishing something unattainable in the past twenty years High, thanks to the empress dowager Lafayette and the emperor Longen, but also Liu Yanzhi and Zhou Jiarui for their help.
What is even more happier is that Lin Huaiyuan’s extremely jealous immediate boss, Jiangdong Governor Wei Fushun, was removed from the post by the Queen Mother by a telegram for killing foreigners. He took off his head wear. Maybe the next step is to beheaded and transferred from Nanjing. A governor Wen happened to be a colleague of the Hanlin Academy with Lin Huaiyuan. Twenty years ago, he half-joked about dating his children’s relatives. Later, when the days were separated, this matter was no longer mentioned. Only recently did he know that Governor Wen had a rightful year. The son, born in Yushu Linfeng, was no less literate than his father. He was hit by Juren at a young age, and he was born with his own daughter.
　　 Half a month ago, Lin Huaiyuan sent someone to Shanghai to inquire about his daughter. So far, there is no news. He is anxious. The officer came to report that the old housekeeper is back.
Lin Huaiyuan personally went out to greet him. When the master and servant met, they were speechless. Only a thousand tears were left. They cried for a while. UU read www.uukanshu.com and sat down to talk. The housekeeper watched Lin Huaiyuan grow up since he was a child. He was loyal to him, without any false words, and took the experience of this period one by one. When he heard that his daughter was in prison, Lin Huaiyuan couldn't help crying. When he heard that he was rescued, he danced with his hands and heard the aunt. Too was abducted by Master Zhou, and Lei Ting immediately furiously said: "This is something horrible, and the officer will go to the sea to arrest him and punished him with a capital crime of abducting people."
　　 The butler said: "The eldest aunt is not a good person, and the second aunt is unruly. She actually took her to live in Shanghai... anyway, it's not a good place."
　　 "What's in Shanghai?" Lin Huaiyuan saw that he was hesitant to say something, his expression tangled, and he knew it was not a good thing, so he quickly asked.
　　 "Books in Shanghai." The old housekeeper said with a heartache, "The master's fame was ruined by her."
　　 Lin Huaiyuan was shocked. Isn’t the book apartment just the third hall? In the brothel of Shanghai, her daughter has fallen into the dust! He started shooting the crime and cursed: "This bitch!"
　　 The old housekeeper saw that the master was furious, and then he realized that he had said something wrong. He hurriedly explained that he was only living in the book apartment and did not go to the sea to pick up guests, but...
　　 "Just what!"; Lin Huaiyuan gritted his teeth.
　　 "It's just that I am a little unclear with that surnamed Liu." The butler said, "Melon Tian Lixia, I don't know what to say, the master had prepared early, and the female congress was rejected."
　　 Lin Huaiyuan's expression changed drastically, and his face went dark, and he was silent for a long while: "How many people know about this?"
