A hundred flavors of life

Cheng Dieyi's aunt, named Zou Rong, lived in a foreign-style building in the Tianjin Concession. This is now the rich area of ​​Tianjin. During the Republic of China, many celebrities had real estate in the Concession, including the last emperor. , the Northeastern Marshal, Prince Qing, and the artist Feng’s grandfather who ‘missed you to death’ as soon as he came on stage.

According to the address in the letter, the car stopped in front of a foreign-style building. After everyone got out of the car, Bean Girl looked at the foreign-style building and sighed with envy:
"This is where your aunt lives. Son, look at this house. It's so beautiful and grand. It's much better than the yard we live in!"

Xiangyun nodded, deeply agreeing with what his future mother-in-law said.

Gong Er looked at his father-in-law funny.

Hua Twelve didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This is the palace of a county prince. Compared with this, this foreign-style building is nothing. However, he didn't say this because it would be useless if he said it. This is the generation gap. People in this period think that foreign things are Well, well, of course there are people like this in later generations.

He stepped forward and rang the doorbell. After a while, a woman dressed as a maid opened the door. She saw several men and women standing at the door, holding things in their hands, including large and small packages. She couldn't help but ask differently:

"Who are you looking for?"

Hua Twelve stepped aside and let the damselfly behind him in front.

Bean Girl stepped forward and said somewhat uneasily: "Does Zou Rong live here?"

The maid was a little unhappy when she saw Damn Ziang calling her master by her first name, without even using the honorific titles "ma'am" or "ma'am."
"You, who are you?"

"I'm her little sister. I came from Four-Nine City to see her." Bean Girl's voice was trembling.

The maid hurriedly said: "Wait a moment, I will notify Madam right now."

After saying that, he quickly walked back.

It didn't take long to hear the sound of high heels stepping on the floor, coming quickly from far to near.

A woman wearing a women's suit, with short ear-length hair, and an appearance that was eighty-nine times similar to that of Bean Girl, except that she was older, appeared in front of everyone. No need to think about it, just by looking at her appearance, she was definitely Cheng Dieyi's aunt Zou Rong. .

Zou Rong saw Bean Girl at a glance. After all, it was like looking in a mirror. It was hard not to notice at first glance that the two women's eyes met, and she called softly: "Little sister?"

The corners of Bean Girl's eyes were wet: "Sister!"

After saying this, Bean Girl took a step forward and threw herself into the other person's arms and started crying.

Zou Rong patted her on the back: "It's good to come, it's good to come. Little sister, you're still crying now that you're a mother, isn't it embarrassing?"

Douziniang stood up straight, wiped her tears, smiled and said to Hua Twelve: "Douzi, call Auntie!"

Hua Twelve definitely couldn't pronounce the title 'great aunt'. He was just polite, smiled and nodded: "Hello, I am Hua Twelve!"

Zou Rong showed a surprised expression when she saw that her nephew didn't call her aunt. It was only then that Bean Girl remembered her relationship with her son. She was afraid that her eldest sister would be too preoccupied, so she quickly explained:
"Sister, don't be surprised. There are some differences between us mother and son. He won't even say "mother" to me!"

Hua Twelve coughed lightly: "Beanzi is also a mother, isn't she?"

Bean Girl rolled her eyes at him: "You are the only one who can say it!"

Zou Rong was a little unhappy when he heard that his nephew didn't even call him mother. It was obvious that his little sister didn't mean to blame her, but looked a little doted on, so he didn't say anything and just said:
"Come in, we haven't seen each other for so many years, let's go in and chat slowly!"

Zou Rong let everyone into the living room of the bungalow. They saw a solid wood coffee table, a cowhide sofa, the floor under their feet, and a crystal chandelier hanging above their heads. They were all Western things and were of great value. It showed that Zou Rong's quality of life was really good.

Everyone was asked to sit wherever they wanted, and Zou Rong took Beanzi Niang to sit next to her. The servants served black tea and Western snacks.

Zou Rong said to Douziniang: "For so many years, you have been the most worrying thing for me. I was afraid that when my family was in poverty, I would sell you for money just like I did to me back then. How have you been doing these years? "

Judging from the meaning behind these words, Zou Rong hadn't returned to Sijiu City for so many years, obviously because he was jealous of his family for selling her in the first place.

After hearing this, Bean Girl began to wipe her tears: "Mom, dad, elder brother, and younger brother are all gone."

She recounted what happened that year. Although Zou Rong felt very sad that her parents had betrayed her, when she heard that they had contracted the plague and died in the Northeast, she closed her eyes deeply and shed two silent tears.

The two sisters were sad for a long time. Zou Rong asked about what happened next, and then Bean Girl continued.

When Zou Rong heard that her little sister was sold into the palace, her knuckles turned white: "You blame me. If I didn't have any hatred in my heart and went back to see my house, my little sister wouldn't."

Douziniang hugged Zou Rong: "Sister, I don't blame you. If my parents hadn't used the money from selling you to buy food, I might have died of hunger long ago. I owe you all my life."

She wiped her tears: "When I entered the hall, I felt that my previous name could no longer be used. If I used it, I would be sorry for my ancestors, so I changed my name to Yanhong. Later, I didn't know who I had a child with, and it was Xiaodouzi."

She said, looking at her son, and finally smiled: "I brought Douzi to six years old, and the hall couldn't support him anymore, so I sent him to learn opera, but they didn't accept him. They said Douzi was a six-fingered son. That was because the master didn't appreciate it. To eat, I chopped off one of his fingers with my own hands."

"Later Douzi started singing and made money, so he ransomed me. He raised me but didn't call me mother. I knew he wouldn't be able to pass the test when he was a child. I signed the contract of sale with my own hands, so Douzi didn't I don’t blame him for calling me mother!”

After Zou Rong heard what her little sister said, she looked at Hua Twelve with a different look. Her nephew had experienced the same thing as her. She felt the same way and understood him instantly.

She showed a friendly smile to Hua Twelve: "My aunt wrongly blamed you. You are good, manly and better than your aunt!"

Hua Twelve smiled: "You are so proud!"

Only then did Zou Rong notice Gong Er next to Hua Twelve. For a moment, she felt that this woman's appearance and temperament were too outstanding. She frowned slightly, unable to guess the relationship between this woman and her nephew. Let's call it a couple. They looked just different in age, so they weren't a couple, and they were sitting too close.

She asked directly: "Nephew, who is this next to you?"

Douziniang rushed to introduce her: "This is Douzi's wife, her surname is Gong, Gong Ruomei."

She introduced Gong Er, Xiang Yun and Wang Shuang all.

Zou Rong was shocked. His nephew didn't look very big, and he didn't seem to be very capable, but he actually had a wife, concubines, and a driver. This was incredible.

Seeing Damiang Niang remembering something again, she added: "By the way, Ruomei's family also practices martial arts. Sister Gong Yutian, have you heard about it? That's the father-in-law!"

Zou Rong was moved when she heard this: "She is actually Gong Lao's daughter!" She looked at Gong Er and then at Hua Twelve, feeling somewhat clear in her heart.

Zou Rong was really surprised when she saw two cars at the door just now. She thought to herself how well her nephew was doing now. Anyone who has a car these days must be a high-ranking person. Even though she is a member of the Jinmen Martial Arts Alliance. First, she doesn’t even have a car, so she relies on a rickshaw to get around.

Now I understand, it turned out that he was relying on his mother's family. He took a closer look at his nephew and said, "Well, he looks really good. No wonder he can marry a girl from the Gong family."

Zou Rong usually doesn't like reading newspapers, so although Hua Twelve's photo was published in the newspaper, she didn't know that this nephew was Boss Cheng from the famous town of Jinghua.

Now she thinks that Hua Twelve's ability to ride in a car and redeem Yanhong from the palace are all because of the Gong family, and her nephew is taking advantage of the woman.

Zou Rong's thoughts were all instantaneous. Here Gong Er saluted her: "Gong Er has met my aunt!"

"Okay, I have admired Mr. Gong for a long time. When my husband was still alive, he often said that he was the leader of the martial arts in Jinmen, but he is far inferior to Mr. Gong. How can my nephew marry Gong? His daughter is truly a blessing to him!"

When Gong Er heard what Zou Rong said, he shook his head slightly and corrected him sternly: "My aunt is wrong. Being able to marry Twelve is my blessing and the Gong family's blessing!" Hua Twelve is helpless, this wife Things about him were particularly serious. He immediately reached out and took Gong Er’s hand:
"They are just kind words, so you don't have to take them too seriously!"

Zou Rong couldn't help but smile bitterly, her nephew's wife was protecting the calf, she had offended someone unintentionally.

"It's okay. This girl knows how to protect men. It's not too late for my aunt to be happy for you!"

Zou Rong said and changed the subject: "By the way, my man and Brother Zheng Shanao, the current martial arts leader of Jinmen, are also from your Bagua Sect. They studied under the Grandmaster Zhang Zhankui of the Bagua Sect. Let's start from here. It’s a family.”

Gong Er nodded: "Uncle Zheng is the old man of the Bagua Sect. When he comes to Jinmen this time, Gong Er will pay him a visit!"

Hua Twelve turned around slightly and asked, "Do you know him?"

In his impression, except for meeting Gong Yutian when Gong Er came to this world, he had little contact with the Bagua sect of this world. He didn't know how she met Zheng Shanao.

Unexpectedly, Gong Er raised his lips and said, "You also know that Uncle Zheng is the Fifth Master!"

Hua Twelve instantly remembered who it was.

Speaking of seeing this aunt, he knew that this should be a plot in the movie "Master", and Zheng Shanao was the leader of the Jinmen martial arts in the plot.

I remember that in the 'World of Grandmasters', after Gong Lao left, he rushed to the Northeast and slaughtered all the Lao Baguamen in the Gongjia Tea House north of Fengtian Drum Tower. The fifth master among them was not the same as Zheng Shanao from 'Master' Looks the same.

After arguing for a long time, these two people were basically the same person.

However, the endings of the two fifth masters seemed to be different. In another world, this Zheng Shanao might have been a good person.

Zou Rong looked at his nephew: "Do you also know Brother Zheng?"

Hua Twelve could only nod: "I have long admired your name!"

Zou Rong smiled and nodded: "Okay, I will take you couple to meet him later!"

While he was talking, suddenly the hand-cranked phone in the living room rang. The servant answered it, turned to Zou Rong and said:
"Madam, it's the call from the martial arts school!"

Zou Rong invited everyone to have tea and cakes, then stood up to answer the phone. After saying a few words, his face darkened.

After hanging up the phone, Yan Hong hurriedly asked: "Sister, I see you don't look good. Did something happen?"

Zou Rong didn't hide anything, and said to Gong Er: "Just now, Brother Zheng was injured by his apprentice. His appearance was disfigured and two ribs were broken. The injury is a minor matter. He has handed over his reputation for the rest of his life." .”

After speaking, he sighed and turned to Yan Hong with a smile: "Little sister, I will ask the servant to arrange your stay first. I will go out and deal with this matter and then come back!"

Yanhong nodded, turned to her son and said, "Douzi, follow your aunt!"

Hua Twelve rolled his eyes inwardly. He had been driving for a whole day, and he had not even taken a break before he ordered him to work. He knew that Douziniang was also afraid that Zou Rong would get into trouble and wanted him to help his aunt. I really forgot about my son when I had my sister.

He immediately nodded helplessly and said: "Okay!"

Zou Rong said quickly: "No need, this is all about the martial arts practice. My nephew looks like a well-mannered and elegant young man. He can sing well, but he can't help with the martial arts practice!"

Gong Er stood up and said, "Auntie, what you said is wrong. Twelve is the son-in-law of the Bagua Sect. Of course he has to step in if something happens. I'll follow you too!"

Zou Rong thought it was right, the Gong family is here, nodded and said: "Okay, I'll take you to see Brother Zheng!"

Ask the servant to arrange guest rooms for Douziniang and Xiangyun, and then take Hua Twelve and Gong Er out.

Hua Twelve originally wanted Wang Shuangquan to drive a few people there, but Zou Rong waved his hand and said no, saying that the place he was going to was not good and too high-profile. He waved his hand and called three rickshaws on the side of the road, and took the three of them straight to the racecourse road. Go to a private mansion.

When they arrived at the place, they saw it was also a bungalow. A young man in military uniform was waiting at the door. Zou Rong walked over with Hua Twelve and Gong Er. The young man immediately came up to them, handed over a stack of things, and whispered. Chatted a few words with Zou Rong.

It means that this is an apology to Mr. Zheng.

When Zou Rong took it over, the young soldier glanced at Hua Twelve and Gong Er, turned around and got into a car and left. Zou Rong then called Hua Twelve and Gong Er to walk into the bungalow together.

In the living room of the bungalow, the lights were dim. An old man in shorts was lying on the long table in the living room with a bruised face. It seemed that his body had undergone simple treatment. He was Zheng Shanao, the fifth master of the Bagua Sect.

Hua Twelve stepped forward and touched Zheng Shanao's wrist: "It's not bad. With his physical condition, he will be fine in half a month. Ordinary people can't get out of bed after two months!"

Zou Rong looked at his nephew and said differently: "Twelve, do you know how to heal?"

Hua Twelve smiled: "Don't be overwhelmed by the many arts. It's not a bad thing to know more things these days. At least you won't starve to death!"

Zou Rong smiled and said: "That's right, but if you marry the daughter of the Gong family and recognize me as your aunt, it will be difficult for you to starve to death in your life!"

Hua Twelve chuckled: "Thank you very much. If I don't have enough food then I will come to your place to eat and drink!"

"My aunt is alone and deserted. I'm afraid you won't come!"

While the two were talking, Zheng Shanao suddenly made a sound of "uh", then let out a long breath, his eyelids moved, and after a few breaths, he opened his eyes.

The first thing the old man said when he woke up was: "I fell into the scheme of my apprentice!"

Gong Er stood up at this time and asked: "Fifth Master, I am Gong Yutian's daughter, and you are the elder of the Bagua Sect. Please make this clear. As long as you are reasonable, the Bagua Sect will stand up for you!"

Zheng Shanao was startled and turned around to look over. Although he had never seen Gong Er, he still nodded and said with approval: "Well, it's Yin Sect's Bagua airs. Girl, you've practiced this boxing to the core!"

Gong Er asked what was going on, but Zheng Shanao was too embarrassed to say it. Zou Rong sighed: "Let me tell you!"

He immediately explained the cause and effect of the matter, but Mr. Zheng had an apprentice who was the adjutant of Marshal Cao in Sijiu City. He asked Mr. Zheng to help him study the usage of the bayonet. After Mr. Zheng finished the study, he would pass on the usage to the other party. He also proposed to make a film and show it to the commander-in-chief, and then promote it throughout the army.

Unexpectedly, during the filming process today, when the master and apprentice were sparring, the apprentice suddenly struck hard and not only injured Mr. Zheng, but also recorded the entire process.

This apprentice is stepping on Zheng Shanao, a master of martial arts in Jinmen, to gain a higher position in the army. It is really chilling for the apprentice to plot against his master like this.

"Adjutant to Marshal Cao?"

Hua Twelve thought of a person and immediately said to Zou Rong:

"Please help me contact the other party and tell him that Mr. Zheng's nephew has arrived in Jinmen. I want to record it again with him and ask him if he dares to come!"
