[Pretender] Makoto Honya

Writers can't talk about fishing, but poets can't talk about going to the beach.

This is a strange and neutral, diverse and converging, huge and rich city.

This is an occupied area covered by abnormal prosperity. The Suzhou River is separated by water, with the sound of artillery on one side and the sound of singing and dancing on the other.When night fell, the torches lit all night in the concession, through the dark night sky, connected with the flames of Zhabei, reflecting half of the sky red.

This is a city that requires tragic and solemn, tenderness and tenderness, sublime and sublime, mediocre and mediocre.All dramas, tragedies, comedies, and absurd dramas in the world are staged here.

This is Shanghai during the Anti-Japanese War.

*****

From Yuyao, Zhejiang, who came to Shanghai at the age of 16, with only an ancestral medicine book in his arms, to the age of 1931 in 59, when he became a wealthy generation in Shanghai, Qiao Chujiu spent more than [-] years in the This complicated big Shanghai has left its own traces.

He is a business prodigy and a pioneer of Western medicine, but he is extremely confused about family affairs alone, and has many wives and concubines.As soon as he died, the tree fell and the monkeys scattered, only the third concubine had one son and two daughters for him, and they could be regarded as successors.

But when he died, his eldest son, Qiao Baizhou, was only 18 years old. In the past, Huang Jinrong and Du Yuesheng from the Green Gang were eyeing his property, and later there were groups of wives and concubines waiting to separate and fight for property. How could he protect most of his life's hard work?

But the tiger father has no dogs. Although he is only 18 years old, Qiao Baizhou is a strong man with extraordinary courage. He decisively handed over the filthy Big World Playground to Du Yuesheng for protection, and was able to preserve the pharmaceutical factory and the Qiao family. The hospital allowed the Qiao family to recuperate.

"Director Wang, you don't have to go to the Three Treasures Hall if you have nothing to do. If you have anything to do, just say it."

In the lobby of Qiao's house, Qiao Ruyuan took a sip of coffee, her posture was lazy, and she even said sarcasm in an elegant and calm manner.

Wang Manchun frowned, forcibly suppressing the dissatisfaction in his heart.

Shanghai is full of fish and dragons, and although the Japanese are powerful, they cannot cover the sky with one hand after all.Her No. 76 seems to be beautiful, but there are always some places that cannot be visited and some people cannot touch.And the Qiao family where she lives is one of them.

When it comes to big names in Shanghai, Huang Jinrong and Du Yuesheng of the Green Gang are well-deserved.But Huang Jinrong is getting old, and Du Yuesheng moved to Hong Kong and Shanghai to escape the war, which is no longer their world.

Today's Shanghai Bund, when it comes to Qiao's family, how many people don't give a little face?Not to mention that the Qiao family holds 100% of the medicines in Greater Shanghai, there are more than [-] shops and factories, and the number of workers directly or indirectly working for the Qiao family has reached as many as [-], but the interest relationship between the Qiao family and the French consulate is deeply intertwined. Qiao Jingshu, the eldest daughter of the Qiao family, married into the American consulate, and even the Japanese could only give up three points.

"It's like this. There will be a dance party on the 76th in a few days. I was ordered by Section Chief Nantian to invite Mr. Qiao to come." Wang Manchun handed the invitation to Qiao Ruyuan with some respect.

"I'd like to trouble Director Wang to send the invitation in person. The Qiao family deserves it." Although she doesn't like No. 76, Qiao Ruyuan's courtesy is still very considerate. Recently, I have been busy preparing the full moon banquet for my little nephew, so I may not be able to attend."

Qiao Ruyuan had a very good relationship with her sister since she was a child. When her elder brother scolded her, her sister would always help her out.This time, my sister gave birth to a little nephew, a soft and sticky dumpling. She was so happy when she saw it, and a smile naturally appeared on her brow.

"It doesn't matter. Mr. Nantian said that Mr. Qiao is not free. If Ms. Qiao is willing to show her favor, it will be the same."

Wang Manchun curled her lips secretly, Qiao Jingshu, the eldest daughter of the Qiao family, is Wang Manchun's senior sister, Minglou's senior sister, the No.

When she was in school, Wang Manchun was also jealous of Minglou because of her. After Minglou left for France, Miss Qiao got married.

"Director Manchun kindly invites you, and Ruyuan will definitely be there." Qiao Ruyuan thought for a while, and agreed.Although her Qiao family is a staunch anti-Japanese element, after all, it is not time to tear up their face, and the face that should be given is still to be given. After all, the Japanese are powerful, and head-to-head encounters will not lead to good results.

"Then Manchun will be waiting for you." Wang Manchun glanced at Ruyuan quietly, but felt infinitely moved in his heart.

The three brothers and sisters of the Qiao family are all dragons and phoenixes. If Qiao Jingshu is a model of a famous lady in Shanghai, then although Qiao Ruyuan has a quiet appearance that is in line with the Qiao family, she is wanton and lazy in her bones, as if nothing can trouble her .Even though she was a few years younger than her, it made her feel ashamed.

Regarding the identity of the Qiao family as a red capitalist, both No. 76 and the Japanese are well aware of it, but the Qiao family has a deep relationship with the concession.

There are so many anti-Japanese elements who have not been arrested yet, how can they offend the foreign concessions when they have time.What's more, the Qiao family has always had a good face, and occasionally provides medicines to the Japanese as comfort, so they just turn a blind eye.

After seeing off Wang Manchun, Ruyuan knocked on Qiao Baizhou's door.

"Send it away?" Qiao Baizhou sat at the desk and put down the newspaper in his hand.

"Well, let's go." Ruyuan walked behind the eldest brother, and thoughtfully massaged his sore shoulder and neck.

"For the dance on the 76th?" Qiao Baizhou has never liked Wang Manchun, he is cruel, scheming, and plotting.

"Yeah. I told her I'll go there." Talking to her elder brother, Ruyuan was very frank, "Actually, I don't think Wang Manchun is annoying. Compared with other women, although she is vicious, at least she can see the reality clearly. This In the world, a woman who only cares about singing and dancing can't survive."

"It's not bad that you have this awareness." Qiao Baizhou nodded, "Ten years ago, my father was forced to death by Du Yuesheng and Huang Jinrong. Little by little, the Qiao family has been developed into what it is now. You must know that if you make a careless move, you will lose everything. The most unacceptable thing for a family like ours is simplicity and kindness. "

They belong to the same family and have similar experiences, but unlike the Qiao family, the bright mirror of the Ming family just hopes that the younger brothers will stay away from disputes and become scholars.Although he, Qiao Baizhou, also admires Ming Jing's courage to support the Ming family alone, but he disagrees with her education method. He will never allow his younger sisters to be dodders growing up in the greenhouse.

"Brother, I understand." I have heard this experience more than once, and the thrill in it is not only the ease and freehand brushwork in these few sentences, but Ruyuan has always learned from the past.

"Okay." Qiao Baizhou nodded gratifiedly, and then put on a serious expression, "Wusongkou has a batch of goods to be shipped at [-] o'clock tomorrow night, I have a government ball and I can't go in person, you go and watch, this batch of goods is worth a lot They are very high, and they are all the most in-demand western medicines in the pharmaceutical factory, you have to watch the boat sail away by yourself.”

Hearing the business, Ruyuan immediately became serious, "I see, brother, don't worry."

"Let Qiao Yan follow you tomorrow, be careful."

Looking at his neat younger sister, Qiao Baizhou was relieved.His eldest sister is like his late mother, gentle and kind, and a good marriage is his greatest comfort.His little sister is the most like him, smart and tough, so he wants her to have the ability to protect herself. Dangers are everywhere in Shanghai. I don't know how long he can protect them. He can only let them learn to protect themselves.
