Chapter Thirteen Chen Family Banquet

As soon as I left the gate, there was a long and large RV parked with a sign of Parker, pulling a sun flag, and a driver in black Zhongshan suit sat in front of the car, and a Japanese military policeman in grass-green uniform next to him.

The Japanese are also human beings, and they now have something to ask for by themselves, so Chen Bin has nothing to be afraid of. On the contrary, the military spy who is also a Chinese military commander, is determined to take his own life, which makes him, a "traitor" who is "in Cao's camp and in the Han Dynasty" have to be more careful.

"Let's go," Chu Minyi seemed to be worried that someone would attack him, so he immediately patted the driver on the shoulder and urged him to drive quickly.

It took several days to come to this war-torn era. Except for Chen Mansion in the high-walled courtyard, Chen Bin had never seen the outside world, so he couldn't help but lean against the car window and enjoy the surrounding scenery without saying a word.

The road is wide and the trees are shaded, and dozens of villas of different styles stand on both sides.

More than a decade ago, this area was filled with river networks, and a place where rural and wild citizens rode their horses to outing. No wonder the American overseas Chinese community specially chose a location to build the Columbia Country Club. This 48-acre club made this area unique regional characteristics and fashion, and became a new landmark on Shanghai at that time.

As a result, the value of this suburban track and field has suddenly increased.

Around the east and south sides of the country club, the pioneering Columbia Road and Anhesi Road are also worth a hundred times the price, which is in line with the universal iron rule of the real estate industry: location, location or location! For a time, this place became a place where Western overseas Chinese gathered at sea, where they were neither rich nor noble.

As a veteran villa broker, Chen Bin also knew that both buildings on both sides were from the Hungarian designer Wu Dake. Since 1928, a number of small villas designed by Wu Dake have extended from Anhesi Road (now Xinhua Road). There are 29 villas with different styles. They are residential areas of famous Western overseas Chinese. Shanghai people call it "foreign alleys" and officially named "Colombian residential Circle".

Because of this, the Hungarian Pavilion at the Shanghai World Expo decades later also opened and exhibited its statue because it left 65 architectural works to Shanghai and became an immortal symbol in Shanghai's urban culture.

More than 48 million!

Chen Bin, who lived in such a villa, could not even imagine that he could live in such a villa eight days ago. In addition to being approved by the owner and taking clients to see the house, even as a veteran villa agent, he could only experience the Colombian style of the Shanghai beach from Spielberg's movie "The Sun Empire".

In fact, if it weren't for the fall of Shanghai and the informal concession of crossing the border, the original European and American expatriates felt that this place was not a place to stay for a long time, and moved out one after another, and the one in the urn would not have thought of living in this garden villa.

It looks like it, it's so similar!

The wide road, beautiful villas, meticulous greenery, pale-faced pedestrians, ragged beggars... Everything around is no different from "The Sun Empire", but the sky is not as dark as in the movie, and there is no little beggar outside the car shouting "No father or mother! No whiskey soda!"

Maybe he was too nervous, maybe there was an outsider in the car, Chu Minyi, who was still polite in Chen Mansion, leaned on the back of the chair and closed his eyes to rest.

The car was very fast, and soon drove to the bridge in North Sichuan Road. Chen Bin's heart suddenly sank because the memory left to him by Chen Jizu was very clear - he had to bow to the guards of the Japanese army ninety degrees when crossing the bridge, otherwise he would be slapped a few times! Fortunately, when crossing the bridge, the people in the car not only did not have to get off, but the Japanese military police standing guard saluted the people in the car with guns.

It was already dinner time to enter the heavily guarded "Plum Blossom Hall". I don't know if it was because Chu Minyi called in advance or if it was a coincidence that the two got off the car and were taken to the restaurant enthusiastically by Chen Changzu and said it was a family dinner.

"Cousin, come on, come on, sit next to my cousin."

Wang Jingwei was not present, and the men who were accompanying him were not afraid to show up. The wives who were laughing loudly and laughing like goose were Chen Bijun. The wives of Chen Yaozu, Chen Changzu, nephew Chen Chunpu, Chen Guoqi and his son-in-law Lin Baisheng and others were careful and active in accompanying some interesting words, and from time to time they responded loudly to her laughter.

"Jizu has met his cousin," Chen Bin did not dare to neglect, so he quickly bowed and greeted others "cousin" and "cousin-law" one by one.

Chen Bijun was extremely enthusiastic. While holding his hand, he said with a machine gun: "Auntie Yu-Gui passed away early, and the two families rarely walked around. It was all blamed for my cousin if he had known that his uncle was doing business in Shanghai, so there would never be such a big deal. Did you see that... Our cousin is still filial and sensible."

Chen Bijun, who was over fifty years old and was as short, thick, fat and black as a erect pig, treated herself so intimately. Chen Bin was very awkward and quickly bowed again, took his arm back on the excuse, and said earnestly: "I am worried about my cousin, especially my cousin-law, who is busy with state affairs all day long, running around and calling out for the people of the world, and can also take time out of his busy schedule to write elegy couplets for his father. This great kindness and honor are unforgettable. This is a gift to my nephews, and I hope my cousin will never retreat."

After saying that, he took out the check that had been prepared from his arms.

It's 100,000 yuan! Since I received the call in the afternoon, Chen Bijun, who has been excited until now, took it away without hesitation, and complained angrily: "If you don't talk about two families, then you'll be dissatisfied. Since this is a gift for the children, my cousin will accept it for Wen Jin, Wen Xing, Wen Bin, Wen Xun and Wen Ti (children of Wang Jingwei). I will return it when you have a child in the future."

Come back and dream! Since I have sent it out, I am ready to go and beat the dog without going back.

Seeing that Chen Bin was a little restrained, Chen Changzu, who had been in a relationship, immediately stood up and said, "Sister, don't just talk, let's eat and talk."

"I met an old friend in a foreign land, not to mention that it is not only an old friend, but also a relative. Look, I am happy," Chen Bijun stretched out his chubby right hand and pulled Chen Bin to his side. "Today is a family dinner. There are no outsiders. You should eat and drink what you should drink. Don't be restrained, otherwise my cousin will be really unhappy."

Women who have read some books always stand tall with purity and purity. The ones that I promised are all from Bing and Xue. Bingru is the sign that Chen Bijun hangs for herself. In fact, the brand that the general public recognizes is Feihuan.

Fat and lazy, greedy, Heng is a mother of compatriots, "eat", "eat all", "eat everyone", "don't eat, don't you waste it?" She kept talking nonstop, and she kept eating, and she cleared the dishes at the table.

A large pot of braised sheep head with sharp mouths and fangs was steaming up, with a ferocious face. Not to mention the female family of the Chen family, even Chen Bin was a little hesitant. Chen Bijun actually grabbed a sheep head first, grabbed it with both hands, gnawed off a piece of sheep face, and chewed it heavily while dancing the sheep head to everyone to eat. A braised sheep head instantly turned into white bones.

Regardless of whether it is a family dinner or not, it is always inevitable to discuss the current situation. While eating, Chen Bijun did not forget to brainwash Chen Bin's newly joined cousin, "The Japanese invaders invaded, the country was lost, and the people suffered. Is this Mr. Jiang's responsibility or your cousin's responsibility? Say your brother-in-law treason? In the areas under Chongqing, your cousin's rule cannot be sold. Other areas are occupied by the Japanese, and there is no inch of land that is ruined by your brother-in-law. On the contrary, only by regaining the rights from the Japanese, there is no way to sell the country..."

The endless talk was full of fallacies and evil sayings about the hopeless war of resistance, but it sounded like a little reason. If she hadn't known the general trend of history, she might have been fooled by her.

There is often such a strange phenomenon in the Celestial Empire. When it comes to a person's name, it is known to everyone, but when it comes to asking about the person's life and deeds, it is little known. There is such a special person in front of me. He can be said to be a household traitor in China, but he doesn't know about her and her husband's "deeds of the country".

Chen Bin also, in addition to knowing that she was a big traitor, remembered that the book said that Wang Jingwei sacrificed himself and went to Beijing to assassinate the regent of the Qing Dynasty. He concluded that no matter whether he succeeded or failed, his cousin, who had never lived, chose to follow him resolutely.

At that time, someone said, "You have a British passport anyway, and the British consulate will naturally save you if you are arrested." After hearing this, she immediately took out her passport and tore it to pieces on the spot, making the sarcastic person ashamed of himself. The woman who put herself in her shoes and dared to tear foreign passports and died generously did not dare to say that there was no one before, but she was definitely rare.

When Chen Bin saw me at this moment, he was filled with emotion.

From a human perspective, he appreciates this woman; from a man's perspective, she is definitely not suitable to be a wife; from a standpoint, he respects her; and from a historical perspective, she is undoubtedly a loser... After all, history is always written by the winner.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors, she had not stopped yet. Chen Bin raised his glass and looked out the restaurant secretly. He was attacked by a military spy in Hong Kong. Lin Bosheng, who had not healed his wounds so far, seemed to see through his thoughts and whispered, "Your cousin-in-law is in the study and discussing matters with Mr. Zhou and Mr. Mei. After finishing his work, he will naturally come to greet you."

"How dare you, how dare you? I'm just a little curious."

"Cousin," Chen Bijun seemed to realize that he had lost his composure, so he immediately put down his chopsticks and said sideways: "I am very pleased to support your brother-in-law in a 'harmony'. I am both a relative and like-minded person. From now on, we will be a real family. I heard from Chongxing that Columbia Road is not very peaceful, and you are the only uncle's seedling, so you can't tolerate any mistakes. I'd just move here to live with us so that we can take care of each other."

Chen Bin dared not agree easily, and saw these cousins, cousin-in-law, cousin-law, cousin-in-law, and even "cousin-law"

Lin Bosheng stared at him with anticipation, but could not refuse flatly, so he came up with a delaying plan, "It is natural to move here, at least safety can be guaranteed. Unfortunately, my father has only been over the top, and even if he moves here, it will be until the beginning of next month."

"It's still our cousin's filial piety, Chunpu, Guoqi, Guoqiang, and Guofeng, you all learn a little," Chen Bijun nodded and said with satisfaction: "Since that's the case, then wait until my uncle breaks the seventh day before moving over. By the way... you don't need to worry too much about safety. Go back and say hello to Ding Mocun and Li Shiqun and let them help take care of it for a while."
