Demon Book Strange

After going out for one night, when You Wenyue came home with the yawning Oriental cat, the man who was sitting in the central hall drinking tea and reading the newspaper stopped them.

You Wenyue walked into the hall, looked back and forth between his eldest brother and the comprador of Jardine Matheson, Chen Jinsheng, and asked, "What's the matter?"

Dongfang Cat looked left and right, and asked, "Where's Little Pig?" Then, his head hurt, and a righteous voice came from behind, "I said, don't call me Little Pig again!"

Dongfang Mao refused to accept it: "Second brother can bark, why can't I?"

You Wenzhu stared with dark eyes: "If I say you can't do it, then you can't."

You Wen stopped the noisy people: "Sit down." The three of them sat down obediently.He put down the newspaper and said, "Starting tomorrow, Wenzhu will go to school, and Wenyue and Maoer will work at Jardine Matheson."

The three people who were suddenly arranged said in unison: "Why?"

Chen Jinsheng, a big comprador with single eyelids, meticulously groomed hair, and a suit and leather shoes said, "This is what Wen Sheng and I mean."

You Wenyue looked at this man inexplicably: "What qualifications do you have to arrange for us?" He knew that Chen Jinsheng looked down on him, but he couldn't accept working under him suddenly.

Behind You Wen's voice, Chen Jinsheng showed him a contemptuous expression: "You Wenyue, don't trouble your brother."

Dongfang Mao barked his teeth and claws at him: "I will never resign from the position of inspector, absolutely not!"

You Wenzhu looked at the calm elder brother in embarrassment.

After listening to the opinions of the two, You Wensheng said slowly: "The monthly salary for house arrest is 30 yuan, which is thankless. But Jardine Matheson will give you 100 yuan a month. Therefore, Jinsheng and I Discuss, let you change jobs."

You Wenyue's eyes were a little cold: "He promised us a new job, so what is the price you paid?"

You asked for a while.Chen Jinsheng said: "Wensheng and I are close friends, and I will never trade such ridiculous things with him."

You Wenyue showed a cold smile: "Even so, this debt of favor is owed. Kitty can go to Jardine Matheson, but I won't."

Dongfang Mao refused righteously: "I will never give up the post of inspector."

Chen Jinsheng seemed to be sighing and said: "You Wenyue, in five years, the You family was defeated by you. Your elder brother is back now, and is still running for your affairs. I hope you can have a good future. If you refuse now, Can you consider the mood of the question?"

What's inside and outside the words, it's all about You Wen's appointment.

You Wenzhu, who was silent for a long time, shouted angrily: "What do you know? If there is no second brother, this family would have perished long ago!"

You Wen asked, "What do you mean by that?"

You Wenzhu bowed his head and remained silent.

You Wenyue pointed to his younger sister and said, "Wenzhu is going to school, but the little cat and I will not quit our work in the hunting house." After finishing speaking, he stood up, "I'm going to rest, little pig, call me for lunch .”

You Xiaomei nodded heavily: "Okay."

Dongfang Mao pointed at himself: "There is still me, and there is me." After finishing speaking, the figure leaped up the wall deftly and went back to the house next door.

Only Brother You and Chen Jinsheng were left in the middle hall.Chen Jinsheng poured a cup of tea and said, "If you don't want to, what should you do?"

You Wen said, "A twisted melon is not sweet."

Chen Jinsheng shook his head: "You Wenyue will be like this for the rest of his life... Wen Sheng, I hope you can join Jardine Matheson and become my right-hand man."

"Let me think about it."

"Okay, I'll wait for your news."

"Jinsheng, do you know what's wrong with Qiyao?"

"I don't know, I just know that one day three years ago, he had gray hair all night, and he fell ill for several days and nights in bed. After that, he ate too much, but he couldn't eat the meat from his body."

You asked no more questions, and after that, Chen Jinsheng took his leave and left.

When You Wenyue slept all morning, people from all walks of life in Shanghai came to visit one after another.After all, he was the last eldest son of Shanghai Daodaotai in the former Qing Dynasty, and he was a rare talent who returned from studying abroad, so people from all walks of life hoped to take him under his command.

One morning, You Wenzhu boiled several pots of tea, and You Wensheng filled a lot of tea.When he received an invitation from the Zhili Jiangsu Warlord, hoping that he would take up the post of civil servant, he silently folded the letter and put it in his room.

At noon, You Wenyue walked into the central hall with a mess of gray hair like a bird's nest. When he saw the gluttonous food on the table, he couldn't help asking: "What day is it today? Why are there so many good dishes?" ?”

"Today is a good day. If I knew how to go home yesterday, I should have come back and cooked a good meal for you." A woman's voice came.You Wenyue turned his head and saw Aunt Huan who was running long distance in a beautiful dress.She came in with a dish in her hand, with a smile on her flaming red lips, and beside him, there was a man wearing a finger puller, a black coat, and combing his hair back.

This man is Lu Yong, the gangster who Aunt Huan remarried last year.

Aunt Huan, who hadn't entered You's house for nearly a year, did not expect to step into the house for Lu Yong to attract Young Master You, and You Wenyue was in a complicated mood.

The Oriental Cat who had been waiting at the table looked like a cat: "Here, can Aunt Huan eat?"

You Wenzhu twitched his head: "Go and call Big Brother."

Dongfang Mao said yes, and went to the backyard to call someone. You Wenyue stood up: "Mr. Lu, please sit down. I am grateful to Mr. Lu for taking care of Aunt Huan this year."

Lu Yong sat down with a "hehe" smile: "Don't blame your Auntie Huan for not coming to see your brothers and sisters, she is just pregnant and it is inconvenient to go out."

You Wenyue was surprised: "Aunt Huan has a child?"

Aunt Huan smiled and said, "That child is three months old, and his name is Du You. I'll take him to see you some other day."

You Wenyao said: "No, no, I will go to see my younger brother with my eldest brother and little pig someday."

Lu Yong smiled happily: "Then I, Du Mansion, will wait for the arrival of the three of you."

You Wensheng was invited to the front hall, and after he was seated, he poured Du Yong a glass of wine with his own hands: "Thank you, Mr. Lu, for coming to be our guest." The two glasses made a crisp sound when they touched each other.She drank the wine in the glass, and Aunt Huan said, "Don't drink all the wine, come and eat the vegetables."

After thanking you, You Wensheng began to eat.

Most of the good food on this table went to the stomachs of You Wenyue, You Wenzhu and Dongfang Mao.Aunt Huan smiled and said, "The three of you still haven't changed."

You Wenzhu pouted, "Auntie Huan's food is delicious."

Looking at the little girl, Aunt Huan felt complicated about "abandoning" their siblings.Coming here today is just for another purpose.

After eating and drinking enough, the bowls and chopsticks were removed, and You Wenyue and Du Yong took tea to drink. Du Yong said: "This English tea is packaged with Chinese tea. If the eldest son likes English tea, I will send authentic ones every day." come over."

Hearing his words, You Wenyue was startled—unexpectedly, he was cheated out of money by the French.When his elder brother drank yesterday, he must have drunk it out. If he said it, he would definitely settle the score with that Frenchman.

You Wenyue said politely: "Thank you, Mr. Du, although this is not British tea, it is the same as the tea my father drank when I was a child." This is why the truth about "British tea" was not revealed.

Du Yong smiled: "It is the eldest son who deserves good tea. Now, I don't know what the eldest son is going to do?"

You Wensheng said: "I just returned to Shanghai, and I don't know anything about things here, so I have no plans for now."

Du Yong rubbed his fingers and said with a smile: "That's right. Tomorrow I will send someone to pick up the eldest son. If the eldest son wants to go, just go. This Shanghai beach is different from the past, but it is much more interesting than before."

"Thank you, Mr. Du, but I have an appointment with the boss of Jardine Matheson. I'm afraid I've appreciated your kindness."

"Jardine Matheson... Oh, I remembered. It must be the young and promising Mr. Chen."

"Yes……"

Listening to the conversation between the two, You Wenyue stood up and went to the backyard to change clothes and go out to investigate.The crow on the branch in the backyard screamed strangely, changed his clothes in the room, put the police cap on his head, and went out after saying hello.

He wasn't worried that You Wensheng would be caught. Although this man couldn't tolerate dirt, he was much more cunning than him.Therefore, not to mention Du Yong, even if the warlord commander came, he might not be able to shake him.

In the afternoon, he patrolled with his new partner on Joffre Road. After five o'clock, he went to the gun room of the arresting house and asked for a new one.The policemen who came to line up to return the guns to finish their work, manipulated the guns, accidentally fired, and the "bang bang bang" bullet grazed the head of the head of the gun room.The room chief, who was covered in cold sweat, cursed, "You're looking for death! Hurry up and register and get out!"

After the day and night patrols were over, the head of the department asked, "What do you want to do with the wooden warehouse?"

You Wenyue said, "Investigate."

"Except for the inspectors and captains who can take their guns out of the arresting room, ordinary patrols are not allowed to take their guns away without permission except for receiving their guns on duty. As the former inspector, you should know better than me."

"I only borrow it for one night, and I will pay you back tomorrow morning."

"Something happened, I can't afford it...you...what are you going to do? Put the gun down, put the gun down for me."

"Then, can we change the gun now?" You asked, holding the patrol rifle against the head of the head of the gun room.

"Yes, it's alright." The head of the room was so frightened that his legs went limp.

You Wenyue grinned his teeth, showing a devilish expression: "Thank you very much." Then, he successfully changed the number one, Mucang.With the wooden warehouse pinned to his waist, he walked out of the gun room, roaring from behind, "I'm going to expose you, I'm going to expose you!"

You Wen Yueheng laughed and left Xiafei Lu's arrest room.

On the way home, I met Dongfang Mao. The boy wrapped his limbs around him and let someone take him home.After entering the house, seeing the kitten hanging on the second brother's body, You Wenzhu stretched out his hand and slammed his head again: "Come down."

The little cat came down aggrieved, then went straight to the table, and when he saw the big pot of vegetables, he showed an excited expression: "Dinner is ready—"

Four bowls of white rice, apart from You Wensheng, the other three ate it or not, gobbling it like a ghost reincarnated from starvation.You Wensheng said: "Tomorrow I will find someone to take care of chores at home, and Wenzhu you to go to school."

You Wenzhu stopped his chopsticks, and said timidly, "Shouldn't you go?"

You Wen said, "No."

You Wenzhu lowered his head, and the second brother reached out and patted her head: "Go, don't be an illiterate person."

You Wenzhu raised her face in defense: "I can read, but there are many." In the end, she still obeyed the arrangement of entering school.You Wensheng continued to mention the matter of entering Jardine Matheson, and You Wenyue stood up directly, "I still have something to do with the little cat, and we will talk about it later." After speaking, he carried Dongfang Mao out of the house.
