Traveling through the Republic of China

Beijing city in early spring is still a little chilly.

In the morning, the boat dock.People entering the city, unloading goods, and shouting people come and go.There are also people who stand on the shore and look into the distance.Among them, a man in a blue gown and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses was the most conspicuous.But when people were impatient, the sound of whistling whistle came from afar, indicating that the ship was about to arrive at the shore.

The gentle man in a green shirt was looking around anxiously, when suddenly someone patted him from behind, and when he turned around, he saw Carlisle, who was wearing a delicate suit and a paralyzed face.

"Xiao Jiang", Carlisle said in a good mood when he saw Liu Chunjiang whom he was thinking about day and night as soon as he got off the boat.

"So you're here! Really, I was shocked. You must be tired after sitting on the boat for so long. Take a rest and catch up with you at night." After finishing speaking, the man in the green shirt and Carlisle walked out of the pier .

"Xiao Jiang, I really didn't expect you to come to pick me up." Hearing Liu Chunjiang's concern, even Carlisle, who always had an iceberg face, twitched his lips.

"Of course I'm coming, we are good friends!" Liu Chunjiang lowered his head and pushed his glasses with his hands, just missing the dark light in Carlisle's eyes.Butler Joey, who is familiar with the character of the second young master, looked at Liu Chunjiang with sympathy in his eyes, thinking in his heart that he didn't know whether it was luck or misfortune to be attracted by the young master... There is a Chinese saying Author: Weasels give chickens Christmas──Uneasy and kind.It should be the young master.I really don't know how Master Carlyle can learn Chinese so well.

"Joy, what are you doing? Hurry up and leave." The butler was getting more and more incompetent.Carlisle looked at Joey in disgust as he thought about it.

Our butler Joey is crying silently...

The villain in Joey's heart raised his handkerchief to wipe away his tears, and quickly stepped forward to lead the way.

A group of people walked out of the pier and got into the car that the British Consulate came to pick them up.

Sitting in the car, Carlisle looked at the receding scene outside the car window, feeling deeply moved for a moment. In the city of Beijing in the [-]s, the smoke of war was concealed under the extravagant lights and feasting. On the surface, singing and dancing were peaceful, but danger was quietly approaching.Carlisle wanted to do something for his devastated country.

Seeing Carlisle in a daze, Liu Chunjiang asked concerned: "What are you thinking? So serious. Hey, by the way, why did you come to China? I thought I would never see you again, and I was so sad for so many days."

Carlisle secretly laughed in his heart after hearing his words, but still said with a slumped face: "I want to give you a surprise, this time I came here to help the family develop the Chinese market." Of course, this is secondary.I thought it was mainly to chase you, Carlisle said silently in his heart.

"Well, then if I treat you to dinner tonight, I'll take it as a cleansing for you."

"Okay, then I will visit my uncle and aunt tomorrow. How have you been in the past two months since you returned to China?" Carlisle looked at the handsome Liu Chunjiang and said.

"I'm okay. Now I'm working as the chief surgeon in Sacred Heart Hospital. The job is good, but there are many people who look down on the doctor. They can only wait for death slowly. I feel very uncomfortable when I see it." Liu Chunjiang said that the last emotion was also down.

After hearing this, Carlisle slowly embraced him by the shoulders: "It's not your fault, but a mistake of this era." Seeing that Xiao Jiang's mood was still not high, he thought about it, and then said, "If you really It’s difficult, we can set up a charitable organization with the purpose of helping the poor. We can also invite some celebrities and gentry to expand our influence and call on people to take action.”

Liu Chunjiang's eyes lit up when he heard his idea, "How did you come up with this! It's amazing!" The more Liu Chunjiang thought about it, the more excited he became. Liu Chunjiang was wilted again, and said dejectedly: "But, I don't know how to run a business! And the most important thing is that I have no money!" After speaking, he looked at Carlisle pitifully and blinked.

Carlisle looked at Xiao Jiang like this, and instantly softened his heart, and he couldn't bear to refuse. "It's okay, don't think so much, isn't there me. I will help you."

After listening to Carlisle's words, Liu Chunjiang was no longer worried. He knew Carlisle's energy, and he said that he had never failed in anything that could be done.

After regaining his senses, Liu Chunjiang realized that the posture between himself and Carlisle was too ambiguous, and he wanted to break away immediately, but he didn't expect that Carlisle, who was upright, continued to have a serious face, and then said: "I'll tell you about this again." How can charitable organizations set up rules and regulations..." In an instant, Liu Chunjiang's attention was drawn away.

The two sat in the car and chatted warmly until the car stopped in front of a European-style villa in the British Concession.

In the evening, Carlisle and Liu Chunjiang walked side by side on the streets of Beijing, chatting about interesting things in England.

Liu Chunjiang, who was talking, saw the dessert shop by the road, and suddenly made fun of Carlisle: "I still remember that in England, I found out that you actually liked chocolate, and I was surprised to say that I missed it, but they I still don’t believe it, and said to go and see if you really like chocolate, something that little girls like to eat.”

"It turned out that you told them. I said why someone has been secretly staring at me for a while, and the culprit is you." Carlisle still had no expression, but said in a tone of enlightenment.

Liu Chunjiang pushed down his glasses embarrassingly, and murmured: "What! I didn't do it on purpose, how did I know they would really come to watch you?"

Carlisle looked at Liu Chunjiang's flushed face, squinted his eyes, and concealed the deep feeling in his eyes.

On the third floor of the Karen Hotel, Carlisle and Liu Chunjiang sat in a private room and had a meal.From time to time, Carlisle gently helped Liu Chunjiang pick a dish or wipe the corners of his mouth, but at this time they obviously didn't realize how ambiguous the atmosphere was.

Soon it was the next day.Carlisle got up early, washed up and had breakfast, and then went out with the housekeeper.First, I went to the department store to buy some high-end tea and a set of ruby ​​jewelry as gifts for my uncle and aunt, then took the car to Liufu.

"Dong dong dong" Carlisle asked the butler to come forward and knock on the door.

"May I ask you what's the matter?" The porter who came out asked in surprise when he saw two foreigners.

"My young master is a friend of Mr. Liu in your house, and he is here to visit you." The housekeeper said and handed over a bronzing card.

The concierge knew that the young master had just returned from England, so he said to wait a moment, then hurriedly turned around to report.

"Master, there are two foreigners visiting outside the door, and they say they are friends of the young master."

"Foreigners? Come to the flower hall quickly, by the way, go and call the young master." Liu Chunjiang's father said hastily.Liu's father had been the finance minister for a long time, and during this period, he had a lot of dealings with foreigners.He knew that the arrogance of these foreigners was afraid that a single neglect would offend them.Although he is said to be a friend of his son, but I don't know if the relationship is good or not.Thinking of this, Father Liu walked quickly to the flower hall.

Carlisle walked through the corridor led by the servants of the Liu family, and saw Father Liu sitting in the flower hall with a military look.

Carlisle stepped forward quickly: "Hello, Uncle, I am Xiao Jiang's classmate in England and also his good friend. I am here to visit this time. A little kindness is not a respect." He said and motioned the housekeeper to give the gift to the servant next to him.

Liu Chunjiang also arrived at this time, and after paying respects to Father Liu, he said to Carlisle, "It's so early, I thought you would wait until the afternoon?"

"Since you are here to visit, of course you have to come earlier, so that you can be sincere!"

After hearing this, Father Liu laughed heartily: "Since I'm a friend of Chunjiang, I'll come here often from now on. Besides, there are very few foreigners who can speak such standard Chinese, not bad!"

After hearing Father Liu's words, Carlisle hastily agreed.

Afterwards, he started talking with Liu's father, and asked for advice from time to time, saying that Liu's father was in a bad mood.Until lunch time, the two of them were clearly dating each other.

Liu Chunjiang looked at Carlisle who usually had a cold face, but today he became so enthusiastic.Taking advantage of the time when the food was served, he quietly poked it from the bottom of the table, "Why are you so enthusiastic today? It's not like you." I usually pull a face, but this time I can talk so well, and finally whispered, "I've never seen you treat me so well."

Although Liu Chunjiang's voice was very low in the last sentence, it did not escape Carlisle's trained hearing.Seeing Liu Chunjiang's slightly jealous expression, Carlisle felt a little dumbfounded, but he still comforted me gently, "I am kind to my uncle and aunt, and it's not because of you. If others look at me, I don't care." This is also a preparation for abducting you in the future. It is necessary to please, Carlisle thought to himself.

Hearing Carlisle's words, Liu Chunjiang was obviously embarrassed, but he still pretended to be calm, and said stiffly: "Why is it because of me? You did it voluntarily. It's none of my business." It is undeniable that there is still a feeling of being filled in a feeling of.

In this way, lunch was spent in a harmonious atmosphere, and Carlisle also bid farewell and left.

Back at the villa, although he still had a cold face, the housekeeper who had been with him for many years could still see Carlisle's good mood.The housekeeper thought that today's trip to the Liu Mansion was a success, but the young master still has a long way to go if he wants to embrace the beauty back, so let's deal with things first.

"Master, there is an invitation from the consulate, saying that you are invited to attend the birthday banquet of Prime Minister Jin Quan two days later." When Carlisle heard the butler say this, he always had a familiar feeling, but he couldn't remember it.Forget it, I don’t want to think about it.

So he told the butler: "Okay, I just want to run a charity organization, and I can get to know more people at the banquet. Just get ready when the time comes. By the way, I have to ask Xiao Jiang if he will go?"

Then he picked up the phone: "Hey, Xiao Jiang, are you going to the Prime Minister's birthday banquet the day after tomorrow? Yes, let's go together, and I will pick you up when the time comes. All right, good bye!"

Carlisle, who hung up the phone, went upstairs in a better mood.
