After the Republic of China

The happiest thing between lovers is nothing more than a spiritual connection and willingness to care for each other.

Luo Congbai is a busy man. Even if he is so busy, he is willing to treat his lover with the utmost patience and ability. This is enough for Shao Yunshi.

Now, hearing him say that drawing was more important, Shao Yunshi was so happy that he no longer hesitated and led the person into the small study.

In fact, if the hairpin hadn't represented a betrothal token, Shao Yunshi wouldn't have delayed Luo Congbai's time.

The two of them discussed the style of hairpins together, and they were happy for a while. It was not until Ximei came calling that someone was looking for Luo Congbai in front of them, that the two of them were finished.

Shao Yunshi pointed to the prepared manuscript and said to Luo Congbai: "The wood is in this style. Please be careful and don't confuse me. By the way, do you have a carving knife?"

Luo Congbai was very skilled with his hands and did not need a special knife. He shook his head and said: "No need for those guys, I have a knife in my hand. By the way, in addition to the hairpin, that piece of wood can also be used to make other things." , what else do you want? Tell me later. "

Ximei stood aside, sighing secretly as she saw Master Luo and Miss Luo talking so unhurriedly, but the boy in front spoke in a hurry. But when she saw the young lady smiling happily, she was reluctant to urge her.

Fortunately, Shao Yunshi was sensible. After listening to Luo Congbai's words, he stood up and said, "Just carve the hairpin first. I'll see how much more wood I can cut later."

Luo Congbai was in a hurry to leave, so he nodded in agreement.

As soon as Luo Congbai left, Ximei came to life.

Shao Yunshi rolled her eyes angrily, "Are you so afraid of Brother Luo?"

Ximei said "hehe" twice, then approached Shao Yunshi and looked at the hairpin on the drawing, "Miss, Master Luo is really good at carving hairpins. Hey, I've never seen this style before."

Shao Yunshi smiled and nodded: "He has always been smart and dexterous, and he can learn anything at once. By the way, who called him just now?"

Ximei said hurriedly: "It's the boy at the guest room in the front yard. He said it was Master Luo's classmate who called him."

Hearing that it was Luo Congbai's classmate who shouted, Shao Yunshi felt a little heavy in her heart. She didn't know how their affairs were progressing? Can Mu Mu really accompany him back to Yangzhou?

Luo Congbai, who had returned to the front yard, didn't know that Shao Yunshi was worried about him.

When he met Saint Beard, he asked directly: "How is the matter?"

The bearded saint was waiting for him anxiously. When he saw the person, he hurriedly said: "Something has gone wrong. It seems that we really need to ask Mr. Lu for help?"

Luo Congbai glanced at him and said, "My father-in-law doesn't help enough, so why do I care about one or two more times? Tell me, what's the matter?"

Knowing that he had said something wrong, Saint Beard did not take it seriously and said directly: "Mao Haisheng led me to Tiger Island. I didn't expect Tiger Island to be under martial law. I'm afraid things won't be shipped out for the time being."

"Martial law on Tiger Island? Why?" Luo Congbai didn't understand.

The holy bearded man shook his head and said, "I don't quite understand. The reason behind Mao Haisheng's secret on Laohu Island has not been found out."

This issue? Luo Congbai was not very familiar with Qingdao, let alone the forces entrenched on the islands at sea. After thinking for a while, he said: "Does Mao Haisheng have anything else to say?"

The holy bearded man nodded, "Mao Haisheng said that the in-laws of Mr. Ma from the Aolong Gang are from Laohu Island. If Mr. Ma can be asked to help, this matter can definitely be done."

Luo Congbai thought of Shao Yunshi's request for Mao Haisheng to make peace, and couldn't help but asked: "Where is Mao Haisheng now?"

The bearded saint hurriedly said: "Just outside the house."

It seems that he came prepared. Luo Congbai thought for a while and said cautiously: "Mao Haisheng is the captain of the Maritime Transportation Brigade. He also has contacts with the underground party in Qingdao. He should still have connections. Why did he choose Ma Erye alone?" ?”

The bearded saint shook his head and said: "It's better to ask Mao Haisheng about this. By the way, isn't his sister Mao Ya working as a maid next to Mrs. Lu? Otherwise, ask his sister to go out and bring people in?" Luo Congbai thought about it , nodded and said: "It's okay, so outsiders won't be suspicious when they look at it."

If he wanted to ask Mao Ya for help, he had to find Ximei to take the lead. Luo Congbai turned around and ran to the backyard helplessly.

Before Shao Yunshi could clear up the drawings spread out on the table, Luo Congbai turned back again and asked strangely: "Is the matter finished so soon?"

He was running a little hastily, even though Luo Congbai was practicing martial arts, he was also a little out of breath.

He slowed down, shook his head and said, "No, I'll go find Ximei and call Mao Ya."

Upon hearing Mao Ya, Shao Yunshi could probably guess what was going on, and without any delay, he directly ordered Ximei to go.

Luo Congbai sat on a chair, took a sip of tea, and sighed: "Something went wrong on Tiger Island. Mao Haisheng wants to ask his father-in-law to ask Mr. Ma to help."

Shao Yunshi has been to Mr. Ma's house and knows Mr. Ma very well. He is loyal and capable.

However, it seems that Mr. Ma has some problems with his relationship with his in-laws.

To be on the safe side, she couldn't help but say: "It's not a problem to ask Second Master Ma to intervene. However, Second Master Ma's Yue family doesn't seem to buy into Second Master Ma's account."

Luo Congbai remembered that Shao Yunshi had treated Ma Erye's only son, and knew that her words were true. He said with a headache: "Then it depends on what Mao Haisheng thinks. We are not as familiar with Qingdao as he is."

This is all that can be done for the time being, Shao Yunshi sighed, feeling a little irritated inexplicably.

Unexpectedly, a few days later, Shao Yunshi finally understood her inexplicable irritability in the past few days.

Because there were some problems on Laohu Island, the engagement could only be postponed.

Although the Lu family understands this matter, they still feel unhappy.

Mrs. Lu said to Lu Liushun with some resentment: "Originally, the engagement banquet was simple enough, but when it comes, Cong Bai still can't spare the time. What do you mean by this?"

Lu Liushun knew what Luo Congbai and the others were busy with, so he also helped him. Moreover, the disguised Luo Congbai and the others were doing something that could be regarded as helping him.

After getting the benefit, he can't hold back his son-in-law. Besides, it’s not a bad thing if a man is busy with big things.

Then, he hurriedly advised: "It may not be possible to make it in time, don't worry."

Mrs. Lu didn't want everything to go smoothly, but she felt uneasy after finding out what Luo Congbai did.

Lu Liushun didn't like his wife to be bothered, even if it was for the sake of his children.

With a bit of domineering attitude, he hugged his wife and said, "Don't be aggrieved. Think about it, the Shao family is even more aggrieved. We here are taking advantage of it, hiding it from my aunt before going to the Shao family to hold the engagement banquet."

Thinking that her daughter would hold an engagement banquet at her home first, Ms. Lu felt a lot more comfortable. She smiled and said, "Mr. Shao is indeed a sensible and generous person. I don't blame dad for not blaming him for so many years."

Thinking that Mr. Shao specially wrote a letter to explain Luo Congbai's situation, and even solemnly entrusted the affairs of the two children to his family, this made the children's engagement party justifiable.

Lu Liushun had to sigh with emotion at Mr. Shao's intentions.

At the same time, he also felt that the old man was indeed an upright man, but it was a pity that he married a wife who could not understand what he was doing, raised an indiscriminate son, harmed Zhao Di, and also implicated Aunt Nao.
