Chapter 47
"Come, nephew, try this vegetarian duck dish."

"Yeah, thank you, Uncle!"

In the living room of the Du mansion, the butler Wan Molin was waiting on the sidelines with a jug. Ma Chao and Du Yuesheng sat next to each other. On the table in front of them, there was a large table full of local Shanghainese dishes. Ma Chao looked at the I sighed in my heart.

After Ma Chao and Daozi went ashore, they found the black-covered boat that had been left before, and prepared to enter the concession while it was dark.Unexpectedly, when they were about to leave Hongkou District, the two of them were discovered by the night patrol team of the Japanese army.The little devil didn't ask any questions, but opened fire one after another.

In desperation, the two had no choice but to abandon the ship and escape.After swimming ashore, he hid from the east and west again to avoid the little devil's search.After finally entering the concession, but because the wet clothes on their bodies were stained with a lot of mud when they were avoiding the little devils, this made the two of them not very good birds at first glance.

In addition, due to the Sino-Japanese War, a curfew was implemented in the concession to prevent accidents.This is another frantic pursuit by a group of police officers from the Concession Police Station.

It wasn't until an hour ago, when the two of them stumbled to the door of Du Mansion, that they were relieved.

It was Du Yuesheng's butler Wan Molin who came out to greet the two of them. Wearing a long robe, he put the knife down first, and then led Ma Chao Xiang inside.

Wan Molin didn't take Ma Chao to meet Du Yuesheng directly, but considering that Ma Chao's image was really indecent at this time, it might cause embarrassment for the two to meet rashly.So he said tactfully: "Mr. Ma, do you think you should go to see Mr. Ma first or change your clothes first."

Ma Chao also knows the elegant meaning by listening to the string song, and he does have some things that need to be sorted out, so he followed Wan Molin's words and said: "Take me to change clothes first, it's really a bit... . . . Excuse me."

Wan Molin breathed a sigh of relief, before he had been worried that Ma Chao would go directly to see Du Yuesheng.Although Du Yuesheng won't say much at that time, he will always feel a little uncomfortable in his heart.

"Then, Mr. Ma, please come with me." Immediately afterwards, Wan Molin guided Ma Chao to the bathroom.

The bathroom in the Du mansion is not so much a bathroom, it is more appropriate to call it a small swimming pool.Ma Chao lay in the warm pool water, covered his face with a towel, and stretched his limbs, feeling extremely comfortable.

He seemed to have fallen asleep comfortably, and was constantly flipping through the identity information records that the system had instilled for him in his mind.

It is known from the records that Du Yuesheng and Ma Yaozu have not seen each other for at least 20 years.According to the above statement, apart from Ma Yaozu sending a sum of money to Du Yuesheng's account through the bank at the end of each year, he would also send a telegram to express his condolences to each other during the holidays.

Therefore, correspondingly, Du Yuesheng had never met Ma Chao himself.

This gave Ma Chao a lot of peace of mind, so after clearing up the situation he was facing, Ma Chao no longer carried it in the bath, got up quickly and came out of the bath, and changed into Wan Molin after rinsing. Clothes prepared for him in advance.

At this time, Du Yuesheng was quietly sitting on the chair in the living room and meditating, holding three or two pieces of letter paper in his hand and looking at him, and a black and white photo was placed on the coffee table next to him.The task in the photo is exactly what Ma Chao looks like.

According to Du Yuesheng, he also suddenly received a letter from Ma Yaozu, in which he described to Du Yuesheng the ins and outs of Ma Chao's return to China to join the war, hoping to provide some help, and attached a photo of Ma Chao.

The rest is a batch of equipment that has already been shipped, and it is hoped that Du Yuesheng will transfer it to Ma Chao, that is, the fifth and sixth half of the production line, and the rest is just some gossip.

While Du Yuesheng was looking at the gossips in Ma Yaozu's letter, he couldn't help but recall the days when the two brothers worked hard together.Thoughts also drifted away.

At this time, Wan Molin also walked in with Ma Chao.

"Mr. Du, Mr. Ma is here." Wan Molin just opened the door and came in, looking at Du Yuesheng with dull eyes, and he was slightly stunned. He quickly recovered his senses and raised his voice directly to remind Du Yuesheng.

In Wan Molin's memory, it was the first time he saw Du Yuesheng's wandering look just now, and he always had an expressionless look before, quite like a mountain collapsed in front of him without changing his face.

"Ah, my nephew is here. Come quickly, let me take a good look at it! Haha." Du Yuesheng also reacted quickly, covering up his embarrassment by getting up and arranging his clothes, and walked over to greet him.

"Master, hello." Seeing Du Yuesheng walking towards him, Ma Chao took two steps forward, bowed slightly and greeted Du Yuesheng.

Du Yuesheng looked at the bowing Ma Chao and didn't stop him, but said after receiving the gift, "Nephew, don't be so polite. It's a family, hehe."

For people like Du Yuesheng, this set of respect and etiquette is what they value, and this is also the core reliance for him to maintain his power.Although the deterrence of force is essential, for the most central or the top few, when the value of force is not much different, whoever has a higher seniority will speak harder.

After all, the top ten rules of the Green Gang clearly stipulate that it is not allowed to deceive the master and destroy the ancestors; it is not allowed to despise the predecessors.Coupled with the dragon head stick bestowed by Emperor Qianlong, where is the deterrent power?

Du Yuesheng took Ma Chao to the dinner table very intimately and took a seat, then the light looked at Ma Chao carefully, and was still peeling a pear in his hand.

After taking a bath, Ma Chao's gunpowder smoke has dissipated.After changing into the navy blue robe that Wan Molin prepared for him, his gentle appearance is very pleasing.Coupled with the habit of sitting posture developed after serving in the army for a long time, his gentleness is mixed with heroism.It is really eye-catching.

"Come on, nephew, eat a pear, fill your stomach first, wait a moment, we will have dinner right away." Du Yuesheng smiled and handed the peeled pear to Ma Chao.

Ma Chao suddenly felt very embarrassed. After all, as a nominal elder, he peeled fruit for himself, which really made him blush.

Wan Molin saw Ma Chao's embarrassment, and came up to explain: "Mr. Du likes to peel fruits himself to entertain those close to him, so you don't have to mind."

After hearing Wan Molin's words, Du Yuesheng also reacted.After taking the paring knife, he cut the peeled pear in half, kept half for himself, and handed the other half to Ma Chao.

Then, while eating pears, he explained: "When I first came to Shanghai, I was a fruit seller. After a long time, I also developed this tiny skill of peeling the fruit with one hand. Later, it was by relying on The ability to peel the fruit with one hand earned the first sum of money. After that, he made a fortune little by little, and gained momentum."

"Although now, this skill is no longer useful. But I'm used to peeling the fruit from time to time. I can't help it. I enjoy it when I have guests at home."

"You can eat pears with peace of mind, haha."
