Chapter 124 The noble daughter of a noble family
I really underestimated this Matsui Yasukawa!
I thought it was a big vase, but I didn't expect it to be a tiger.
"Niece, don't underestimate anyone in this building. They all have their own unique skills."
"If you're not careful, your jaw will drop!"
Jin Guirong choked the veteran to death on a single horse and defeated Chen Zhen in another round.
Lost! All lost!
I originally thought that during this period of time, I was strategizing and winning a victory thousands of miles away.
I didn't expect it, it was just a joke.
The power struggle is really not as simple as you think.
It seems that it was Matsui Yasukawa who made Gao Bin suspicious of him.
High! Really high!
Chen Zhen lost interest in playing chess and threw all the chess pieces on the golden ebony chessboard. With a look of frustration on his face, he shouted: "No more!"
"No more!"
"It's so damned to let someone plot against you!"
After he finished yelling, he took a look at the record and found that he had played nine games in total and he didn't win any of them.
He took out his wallet from his pocket, counted out twelve hundred-dollar bills, and pushed them over.
"How embarrassing is this!"
"Besides, didn't we say before that it would cost ten yuan a game?"
"How come there are so many?"
Although Jin Guirong was polite, his hands were not idle and he began to count the sheep's skewers handed over by Chen Zhen.
(The largest ticket value in Manchukuo is one hundred, which is exchanged one-to-one with the Japanese yen. It is slightly lower than Yuan Datou. There is a lot of sheep on the back, which is called Sheep Zazi.)
Chen Zhen had seen a lot of things that he didn't mean to say during this period of time.
Hypocrisy in words and truth in hands is the norm.
"This is Zhu Andong's protection fee, one thousand yuan per month."
"Better than nothing!"
"Gao Bin wants to rob his opium den, so he has to blame me."
"I divided it into three parts, Matsui, me, and you, each with one thousand yuan."
"However, if Zhu Andong asks for help in the future, I will pay it to you, but don't mind the trouble!" Chen Zhen said with a hint of disgust.
Look! This is the result of the eldest young master not eating the fireworks of the world.
Jin Guirong stuffed the money into his pocket with satisfaction, and lectured Chen Zhen, who was lying on the sofa, "This is a lot!"
"As a person, you must be content with your content, and you will always be happy with what you have."
"Go and ask Xiao Anzi if the annual salary given to him by the Metropolitan Police Department is enough for one thousand yuan."
"The female workers in my family's match factory can only earn more than ten yuan a month."
"Then you still have to work hard, twelve or thirteen hours a day."
"With your small body, if you enter the factory, you won't be able to survive for three months, and you will become seriously ill."
"Just go ahead, there's someone else who came in through some connections!"
"Okay, I see you don't look good. Why don't you go find a place to have a drink tonight?"
Chen Zhen turned over like a lazy ass, climbed up from the sofa, shook his head with a wry smile and said, "How can I have time to drink so much!"
"A big shot is coming to Xinjing and he needs me to pick him up."
"You should also pay attention! There is a big chaos in Harbin these days!" After saying that, he stood up, said goodbye and left.
Is there a big mess?
Jin Guirong was a little confused, what kind of trouble could happen in Harbin, which is peaceful and peaceful.
This naughty kid is just talking alarmist here.
Forget it, if he doesn't go, he will continue to study ancient Chinese with Jiu Yitai.
...
Xiao Anzi stood in the hall of Qixin's house, looking around boredly.
Originally, it would have been better to let Tong Zhong come to take Dongxiang home.
But he needed to go to Yu Qiuyan's cafe to deliver information, so he happened to be on his way, so he came over to greet him personally.
Speaking of which, this is the first time Xiao Anzi has come to Qixin's home.
However, this royal major general was on duty at the dock and was not in his mansion.
Because the Xi family and the Chen family are in-laws, it was Qi Xin’s wife, Lu Jingyun, who came to entertain this time.
Speaking of Qi Xin, this wife, she has a really good background, she is a descendant of the orthodox Fan Yang Lu family.
Of course, the saying "five surnames and seven wishes" has long been extinct and is only spread in some ancient books.
But this does not prevent these unscrupulous descendants from later generations from using this name to cheat.
However, according to rumors, this Ms. Lu Jingyun is really a direct descendant and can be found in the genealogy.
Even the top brass of the Kwantung Army respected her very much.
"This must be Director Liu!"
Lu Jingyun held Dongxiang's hand and walked down the stairs side by side. When she saw an elegant man in police uniform standing in the hall, she asked.
"I'm Liu An."
"sister in law!"
"You must be brother Qixin's wife. In terms of relationship, I have to call you cousin."
"So don't be polite, just call me Xiao An!"
Xiao Anzi took off the police hat on his head and showed his identity with kind and polite words.
The words brought everyone closer together.
Lu Jingyun sighed in her heart about the upbringing of the Chen family, and was also surprised by Xiao Anzi's ability to treat others.
He is a difficult person!
Lu Jingyun was curious and wanted to know if this Liu An was engaged. He had a cousin who was not yet married, and her age and appearance matched her.
Chen Zhen, the leader of the Chen family, is now a hot shot in Harbin.
Lu Jingyun has taken Dongxiang to attend several wives' gatherings in the past few days.
When these snobs heard that Dongxiang was Chen Zhen's fiancée, they swooped on him like flies and tried their best to establish a relationship with Dongxiang in order to take advantage.
Mrs. Wang said that her goods lacked approval signatures, and Mrs. Huang wanted to help her children get two positions.
Everyone regarded Dongxiang as a life-saving straw.
Lu Jingyun managed to stabilize the situation and took Dongxiang away from the banquet after some hard talking.
After returning, Lu Jingyun told Qixin about this matter, and Qixin said that she was making a fuss and was being petty.
He also said that gifts from each family would be delivered tomorrow morning.
Unexpectedly, this damn ghost guessed it correctly. All the ladies attending the banquet brought gifts to the door, begging Dongxiang to do something.
This made Lu Jingyun aware of the power of the Chen family in Harbin.
"Haha, we are all relatives, so don't stand in the hall and blow the cold wind."
"Come, let's talk in the living room!"
Lu Jingyun smiled warmly and invited Xiao Anzi into the room to chat.
The three of them walked into the living room, made some concessions, and took their seats.
As soon as Xiao Anzi sat down, he explained his purpose: "Cousin, sister-in-law."
"My brother asked me to come over and take my sister-in-law back."
"The ground in Harbin has not been peaceful recently. I thought my sister-in-law has been here for a while and it's time to go home!"
When Dongxiang heard this, he did not speak, but lowered his head and remained silent.
She has been staying at Sixth Brother's house for almost a week. Logically speaking, she should go back.
But she has always been afraid of the manor No. 309. She always felt that it was cold and devoid of any liveliness.
Even though the house is full of servants, there is no popularity at all.
