Blood-quenched mountains and rivers

In Yang Wei's memory, the last time he went to Beijing was one or two years ago, but the Beiping city that he sees now is 80 years away from Beijing in later generations. But I actually had the opportunity to see Beiping City during the Republic of China with my own eyes. wwv m)

The three-storey city tower looks tall and majestic, with suits, leather shoes and robes and jackets coexisting, corresponding to which, cars, horse-drawn carriages and rickshaws overlap, and the stream is endless. Standing in the crowd, Yang Wei seems to feel the powerful force of the changing times, like a tsunami storm, And he became a witness to history.

When he first entered Beiping City, Yang Wei naturally felt that Beiping in his eyes was completely different from Beijing in the future. However, for Tieniu who had never been in Beiping since childhood, this imperial city was solemn and majestic, full of charm, As if standing on this land is the highest glory, Tieniu sniffed excitedly and said, "Commander, I'm not living in vain by following you!"

Yang Wei glared at Tieniu, he came to Beiping this time to do jade business, the identity of the army commander immediately seemed to be a bit of a hindrance, not to mention that there are all kinds of forces in Beiping city, including Zhang Zuolin, Feng Yuxiang and Yan Xishan. There are also foreign consuls in the embassy area. If they want to do business safely and smoothly among these various forces, low-key is naturally the top priority.

At any rate, he had gone out with Yang Wei a few times, Tieniu understood immediately, and quickly changed his words: "Mr. Yang."

Yang Wei nodded with great satisfaction. He straightened his suit and wore shiny leather shoes. Yang Wei looked like a businessman. Standing aside, Fang Shaohua, who was polite and wearing glasses, looked like a secretary or something, with big arms and round waists. Tie Niu knew it was a bodyguard at a glance, and the three of them would not arouse suspicion when they walked together.

Seeing that Yang Wei was very satisfied with this, Tieniu leaned closer to Yang Wei and said: "Mr. Yang, I, Tieniu, have never traveled far, and this is the first time I have come to Beiping City. I wonder if there are any interesting places in Beiping City. ?”

Although what he said was a fun place, Tieniu looked around and his eyes fell on all kinds of restaurant plaques. Yang Weina said with a naive smile: "Okay, okay, I want you to go out, there is no credit. After hard work, there is naturally something to eat, but we need to find a place to stay first."

When it comes to the restaurants in Beiping, the most famous one is of course the Liuguo Hotel. In the long river of history, the Liuguo Hotel is not only a hotel, but also a witness to many historical moments. One of the few major events in the world took place in this luxurious building, but because of this, Yang Wei could only give up the idea of ​​staying in the Liuguo Hotel. In terms of the purpose of coming here, living here has a lot of inconvenience.

Yang Wei, who is low-key based, chose a Tianhua Hotel opened near the embassy area. It is low-key but not out of class. Most of the people who come and go are businessmen, which just meets Yang Wei's requirements.

After a short rest, Yang Wei couldn't stop Tieniu's expectant eyes, so he got up and said: "Since Tieniu is already salivating, if you don't hurry up and find a restaurant to satisfy your hunger, I'm afraid you will have to prepare a spittoon to drink water for him. "

Even Fang Shaohua, who is usually unsmiling and unsmiling, smiled helplessly when he heard this, Tieniu blushed, and followed behind Yang Wei embarrassedly: "I'm not hungry, I'm just afraid that I will be hungry. Room staff."

Yang Wei, who had just arrived at the door, stopped, looked at Tieniu with a serious look, and said, "When we come to Beiping this time, everything must be kept low-key. Although the three of us are after this time, if we get used to talking, I'm afraid it will be a big deal." Avoid mistakes."

After being educated by Yang Wei, Tieniu bowed his head and admitted his mistake like a child who did something wrong, and opened the door for Yang Wei attentively, and then slowly came to the street behind Yang Wei and Fang Shaohua.

There are all kinds of hotels in the embassy area, but Yang Wei is not in a hurry, he wanders around like a traveler, walking in the city of Beiping 80 years ago, not everyone has such an opportunity.

Just when Yang Wei was watching the surrounding scenery leisurely, a horn sounded suddenly behind him. Yang Wei felt a sharp pain in his eardrums, and turned his head rudely. But before Yang Wei could speak, he saw a British driver getting out of the car. Li stuck his head out and cursed loudly in weird Chinese: "You bastard, you're blind, aren't you? Don't you know how to make way for the master?"

Yang Wei squinted his eyes to look at the driver, and said with a sneer, "It seems that your Chinese is not very good. The title of master is reserved for you. "

Although it is said to act in a low-key manner, it does not mean that you have to swallow your anger when you are bullied. Generally speaking, other Chinese people just keep silent and let it go, but it is a pity that they met Yang Wei today. For a domineering person, Yang Wei will not give an inch.

The British driver seemed to have never encountered such an upright Chinese as Yang Wei, and was taken aback for a moment. After coming to China, what they learned the most was to observe the words and expressions, and looked up and down Yang Wei's clothes, and his tone Thinking about it, I am afraid that he is a person of extraordinary status. The British driver frowned and said, "Haven't you learned to respect the noble people of the British Empire?"

Yang Wei squinted at a young British man sitting in the car. At this age, he might be a businessman or a family member in an important position. However, it is not good to learn to dominate others at a young age. The spirit of helping others patiently taught: "Listen clearly, although I don't know how honorable you people in the British Empire are, this is China, the territory of the Chinese, and the most honorable in the territory of the Chinese is our Chinese people. people!"

The quiet street became lively because of Yang Wei's words. It was like boiling water, and there were sounds one after another. People walking to and fro stopped because of Yang Wei's words. , or those who can speak but dare not speak, Yang Wei's righteous words today are just to vent their anger on them.

Just as Yang Wei was speaking, a petite and dexterous satin sedan chair slowly passed by Yang Wei and the others. When they passed by Yang Wei, the people in the sedan chair seemed to be interested in what they said, and the bearer slowly slowed down. After a few steps, he rushed into the crowd again.

Seeing the sedan chair, the young man sitting in the car suddenly babbled a long series in fluent English loudly. The people onlookers didn't understand why, but Yang Wei heard the meaning, to the effect that it was something like a bitch or a beast. After cursing, the vulgar words seemed to be inappropriate for this young man's identity. The driver hurriedly bowed to apologize, and saw the young man waved his hand, pointing to the sedan chair in front of him, and asked the driver to chase him quickly.

The sedan chair seemed to be avoiding the people in the car, but at this moment there were pedestrians watching the fun, and the road was completely blocked. The British young man was so anxious that he jumped out of the car and rushed to the car without saying a word. In front of the sedan chair, he stretched out his hand to open the sedan door. [

Seeing this situation, the bearers on both sides immediately went to stop them, but the young man waved his fist at the bearer, and started to scare people with fists and embroidered legs. Looking at the funny appearance, Yang Wei shook his head and said, "Look, this The monkeys played really well."

There was a burst of laughter all around, especially from the sedan chair in front, there was a petite, short but very clear sound, that calm and long voice made Yang Wei a little interested in the people in the sedan chair.
