Chapter 136 Promity and Japanese
At a glance, the Hu Mansion has really been built. Yan Shizhang, Miao Tsuen Sun, Gu Jiaxiang... A swarm of bees have been squeezed into the East Vice Hall first. Let's see what level everyone's office is. They can't afford to build such a house in their lives. It's okay to use it when they are alive.
Everyone was so busy and unhappy that Wu Shuzhen also came over happily.
She didn't go to Yanjing and returned to Shanghai from Tianjin very early to run the business of jewelry and Jetta.
Hu Chuyuan was enjoying the decorations and antiques in his new study. When he heard that she was downstairs, he quietly ran to the back of the door. As soon as Wu Shuzhen entered the door, he suddenly jumped out and shouted, which scared Wu Shuzhen's face pale.
Wu Shuzhen was angry and angry, but joked, "At least you are a billionaire, just like a child. It's really... so boring!"
Hu Chuyuan smiled and waved her to sit down first. He also sat on the extremely luxurious chair. After feeling it, he said, "This is life!"
Wu Shuzhen smiled and said, "Anyway, you have a lot of money now, and you can spend whatever you want."
Hu Chuyuan said seriously, "That won't work. I really want to buy the Louvre, but unfortunately, they don't sell it."
"This...!"
Wu Shuzhen was speechless for a moment. She had seen an outbreak. She had never seen such an outbreak before. She sighed alas, but immediately smiled and said, "Oh, let me tell you a special good news. There is a gold boss who bought a big ring in our jewelry store. It is specially ordered. The platinum ring is not only inlaid with the largest in our store. The diamonds are also inlaid with four small diamonds on both sides, which is really beautiful... However, hey hey, the price is not low... Wrong, it's a very expensive price. I earned this ticket, which is basically worth eating for a year.
Hu Chuyuan asked puzzledly, "Who is so stupid? Don't you know that the profit margin of the jewelry industry is the highest?"
Wu Shuzhen giggled and said, "Please, they send you money. Why are you so polite? I'm quite polite. I only received 200,000 yuan from him. If this is in other foreign banks, he will have to charge him 230,000 yuan.
Hu Chuyuan thought for a while, slowly took out a purple-red jewelry box in his pocket, opened it, and asked with a bad smile, "Are you talking about this one?"
"Oh, why are you here?"
Wu Shuzhen can't figure it out. She is strange. If Hu Chuyuan wants to buy a ring, he will tell her directly. She won't be slaughtered. At least 60,000 to 70,000 yuan has been slaughtered.
"Ah...!"
She came up with something a little scared, covering her lips with surprise and joy, as if she was scared and happy.
Hu Chuyuan took out the ring with annoyance, played with it in his hand, and quietly muttered, "Should I send it back to the store to continue to sell, or should I stay with me, or give it to whom... to marry him as a wife?"
Wu Shuzhen was happy and angry, and said hatefully, "You guy... After all, oh, I don't want it anyway."
Hu Chuyuan smiled and said, "Fat water doesn't leave outsiders. Take the ring first. When do you want to get married... Remember to call me. I will send someone to your house to propose marriage at any time."
With this, he actually threw the ring to Wu Shuzhen as if he were throwing a silver coin.
200,000 yuan...!
Wu Shuzhen almost raised her throat, flew to catch it, and then complained angued anrily, "You guy... are too insincere, aren't you?"
Hu Chuyuan smiled. After a while, he stood up and walked to Wu Shuzhen and said, "I think these are all formalism, not the most important thing. The important thing is that I like you and want to be with you. If you think so, let's do things more tly. In fact, think about it, who is not a marriage, and who is not a marriage?
Wu Shuzhen laughed and said, "That's not necessarily true. I'll find you an old woman, ugly. Do you want to marry?"
Hu Chuyuan didn't care and said, "Sami, in 40 years, you will be that old woman. When we get married in gold and silver, I will specially build a palace for you. Other people's gold houses hides, and my brother and my golden house hides my wife."
Wu Shuzhen couldn't help laughing. After a while, she looked at Hu Chuyuan angrily and said, "I'm embarrassed to refuse what you said... Fortunately, I'm very thick-skinned, and the ring belongs to me first. In addition, as a gift for your proposal, the shares of the jewelry company and the Jetta company belong to me. As for whether I agree to marry you or not, they have to listen to my father, that... Please wait for seven or eight years. Anyway, my father should not be in a hurry to let me get married...!"
Speaking and laughing, she ran away.
"This little woman %...¥¥!"
Hu Chuyuan was anxious. This was a fucking loss. He didn't cheat, but lost more than a million taels of silver.
He really wants to find a corner to draw a circle.
Really think about it, in fact, how many men and women in this era can fall in love like later, which has generally developed to a certain extent, and it feels like they can almost propose marriage to other people's parents.
If your parents don't agree, then continue to fall in love and prepare to elope.
If other people's parents agree, the woman will marry half awkwardly and half agree.
Whether it is an American, a Chinese, or an Englishman, at this stage, parental consent is still the most important thing.
Listen to Wu Shuzhen... Anyway, Hu Chuyuan can invite someone to propose marriage. If her parents agree, she will not "too" oppose it.
That's it anyway.
After thinking about it, Hu Chuyuan wrote a letter to the aunt of the family carefully, saying that he fell in favor of Wu Shuzhen. If the family did not object, he would ask Zuo Zongtang to protect the media and settle the matter.
After the letter was written, he called the second housekeeper Hu Rong over and asked him to send the letter to Hangzhou as soon as possible.
When Hu Rong heard that it was such a thing, he was so happy that he couldn't speak. He watched Hu Chuyuan's birth. This day was really fast. It seemed that in the blink of an eye, the eldest son of the master's family was about to get married.
He cried again, saying that it was a pity that the master did not see the day.
When Hu Rong took the Tengchong number, he went to Hangzhou first. Hu Chuyuan sighed in his heart that life... I also had this day.
He was thinking in his heart. Chen Shanyuan knocked on the door with a strange look and said, "My uncle, there are a few people who want to see you!"
"Huh?"
Hu Chuyuan felt strange. Didn't he just meet Nakamura and others in Kyoto a few days ago? Why did he come to Shanghai to find him so soon?
He thought for a moment and asked Chen Shanyuan to invite them to the big living room, and he went down with him.
Not everyone can come in, especially after the Tianjin attack, there are no acquaintances who have worship posts, so they are exempted from talking about it.
When Hu Chuyuan arrived in the living room, those people also walked in all the way under the leadership of Chen Shanyuan.
Leading ahead is not others, but Shize Pingdong.
Hu Chuyuan was still very impressed by this person. Behind Shibusawa Pingdong were three Japanese warriors with knives, wearing a black Japanese kimono.
At the door of the hall, Chen Shanyuan asked them to hand over the knife first, but they refused to hand it in.
Seeing that there was going to be a dispute, Hu Chuyuan said to Chen Shanyuan generously, "Forget it, let them in!"
Shibusawa Pingdong raised his hand and signaled that the warriors did not need to come in.
He took a few steps forward, bowed to Hu Chuyuan with a rigorous look, and said, "Hello, Mr. Hu, I heard that you have been promoted to the Minister of Shipping of Fuzhou in your country. As a member of your country, it is really worthy of congratulations!"
Hu Chuyuan smiled, thanked him, and asked Shize Pingdong to sit down. Then he asked, "I didn't expect you to come. I don't know if you have anything special?"
Shibuzawa Ping said, "A few days ago, I heard that you were attacked by bandits in the Tianjin Concession and almost died. I don't know if it's true?"
Hu Chuyuan said, "It's not that serious. It's just a minor injury!"
Shibusawa Pingdong asked, "Have you found out who the murderer is?"
Hu Chuyuan did not hide it, saying, "The British Concession Industry Bureau has been investigating with all its strength, and the court has also sent people to investigate. As far as we know, the other party may be a group of pirates from Zhejiang, and some are locals from Tianjin, and there is not much progress in other aspects."
Shibusawa Pingdong said with a sigh: "You even dare to attack. These people are really bold. Mr. Minister of Shipping, you must strengthen your personal escort.
Hu Chuyuan didn't know that he always grasped this problem and said what special it meant, so he said, "It has been strengthened. At present, Xiang Yong's elites are responsible for the defense, and it should not encounter the past again!" Shize Pingdong said, "I personally don't think this is a very appropriate thing. Doesn't it let the court know that your relationship with the Hunan army is extraordinary?"
Hu Chuyuan felt more and more strange, and asked simply, "Do you have any suggestions?"
Shibusawa Pingdong smiled and said, "The three warriors I brought this time are all the most famous swordsmen in Japan. If you think it is necessary, you can hire them as your personal escort. You can rest assured about their loyalty and swordsmanship. I think it is absolutely impossible for your country to have such a powerful swordsman.
It's like this...!
Hu Chuyuan felt funny in his heart, and suddenly felt that his attack had something to do with him.
Zhejiang pirates have never completely got rid of their ties in history. They have always been the main force of the so-called Japanese pirates. Among other things, in recent years, Zhejiang kelp has often tried to attack Ningbo and Cixi with my support and cooperation.
He smiled and said to Shibuzawa, "Thank you for your kindness, but I don't need it, if it's just...!"
Shibusawa Pingdong suddenly interrupted him and said, "Mr. Hu, if you don't believe in their swordsmanship, you can send your nurse and bodyguards to fight with them."
Hu Chuyuan smiled, but said, "I don't have a martial arts master here. There are only 200 soldiers with guns in their hands."
Shize Pingdong frowned slightly and said, "Mr. Hu, I have another idea when I come here this time. Now the European and American countries are emphasizing the quality of individuals and the quality of the nation, but Asian countries are heisting. I think that with your appeal in your country, you can definitely change this situation. If you are interested, I would like to hold a martial arts exchange competition with you in Shanghai. Each side will send five martial arts masters to win or lose, so as to awaken the martial arts spirit of the people of our two countries.
At this time, he added: "Although there will inevitably be some frictions and misunderstandings in the process of holding, and even misunderstandings between the people of the two countries, it is very beneficial for both of us. I think that it is the best way to strengthen the country by making people's spontaneous and courageous efforts to strengthen their physique and enhance their fighting spirit.
"Is that so?"
Hu Chuyuan didn't say anything.
Shibusawa Pingdong is a smart person. What he said is very reasonable and powerful.
Yes, no matter who loses and who wins, it is actually the winner.
If the Chinese lose, everyone will be very excited and work hard to learn martial arts, and the style of martial arts will be significantly enhanced. But if the Chinese win, it's just a joke, and they won't care.
If you lose, you will also be more excited, and it will be crazy for the whole people to work hard... Terrible.
If you win, the result will be even more annoying. The Chinese people work hard, and I'm afraid that my self-confidence will be strengthened collectively.
There is no small matter between Chinese and Japanese.
Several dumplings can make a big fight, let alone a martial arts competition?
After thinking about it, Hu Chuyuan categorically refused and said, "I'm not interested in this. In a few days, I'm going to Fuzhou. I don't have time to do such a thing. If you are really interested, advertise on the Declaration!"
Shibusawa Pingdong said, "I think this is a win-win situation. It's better to hold it with a semi-official surname. If it's just for us to organize, it's more like provoking your country."
Hu Chuyuan smiled and didn't say anything more. Obviously, he didn't agree at all.
At this time, one of the three warriors at the door suddenly stepped forward. He was about thirty-four or thirty-five years old. He was not tall, but he was extremely fierce. His eyes were as sharp as an eagle, and there was a slender scar on his left cheek, which looked particularly fierce.
He took a step forward and bowed politely, and then said in some proficient Chinese: "In Shimomatsukawa Takamasa, I heard that the third generation of famous knives and Izumi Shou were collected in your house, and I have always admired the third generation of Hequan. For you, who have hundreds of millions of dollars, this may be just a small thing. For me, this is my lifelong wish. I hope you can make it and buy this famous knife with all your money of 6,4 hundred yuan!"
Hu Chuyuan said, but said cruelly, "I won't sell it. I heard that the Shibusawa family has more Hequan and Shouding. You can buy it with him first.
Is it when I'm Sabi?
Hu Chuyuan scolded secretly.
As a result, Matsukawa's face turned red, and the conspiracy failed.
He was so angry and said, "Well, please send a person to fight with me. I'm willing to use my last name as a bet in exchange for the three generations in your hands and Quan Shouding!"
?
Hu Chuyuan didn't expect that the broken knife would cause so many things.
Since he received it, he has left it in the warehouse and doesn't know where it is. He has to ask Hu Rong to find out.
He was embarrassed. Xiang Yong, who was in charge of protecting him in the hall, took the first half of the step and said, "Your Excellency, the little one is willing to fight."
"Huh?"
Hu Chuyuan couldn't help but be a little curious. He took a closer look at this look. The man was also thirty-four or forty-five years old. His figure was not very burly, but he was also a little imposing. He was also good-looking and elegant.
Hu Chuyuan thought for a moment and asked, "What's your name?"
General Manager said, "Little Li Cunyi, a native of Zhili Shenzhou, has studied art since he was a child and studied art in Beijing for 15 years. He just arrived at Liangjiang Yamen a few years ago. Because he still had some skills, Lord Mengzhongtang appreciated him and stayed around to be a general manager in the barracks and was responsible for teaching martial arts. It didn't take long for this job to be done. Lord Zhongtang asked the little one to come to the house with Mr. Xiao Qian to protect you.
Li Cunyi?
Hu Chuyuan feels a little familiar, but he can't remember who it is.
It is estimated that a fight will not kill anyone. He said, "Os, then you fight."
Li Cunyi hugged his fist and said, "Thank you, my lord!"
After saying this, he gave the rifle in his hand to the soldiers beside him, and he came up with only a single knife.
Only then did Hu Chuyuan find that his sword is different from normal Xiang Yong. Generally, Luying Xiangyong uses a lance knife, and his knife is like a ring knife that the people are good at.
The hall of Hu Mansion is large, and dozens of people look very generous.
I don't think he will play too much. If he can't change places, Hu Chuyuan will do whatever they want and solve it on the spot. Whether he wins or loses, it will be convenient for him to send customers. Let's send these away first.
Li Cunyi was very direct. He stepped forward with a single knife and said that he, Songchuan Longzheng, held his fist and said, "A disciple of Xingyiquan, Liu Qilan, the master of the capital, is polite!"
Matsukawa Takamasa also bowed and said, "Jingxin Yingliu Kendo, my master Shenyuan Jianji, please teach me!"
Sum!
Hu Chuyuan didn't pay attention to it. The blades of the two people touched each other together, and then they touched each other for a while. After a while, he felt that his knife was not as good as his opponent. Li Cunyi was not hard. The wind of the knife was straight and hard, but it seemed to step on the hot wheel under his feet, which was fast and flexible.
He doesn't understand this. Shibusawa Pingdong is the east.
After just looking at it for a while, Shibusawa Pingdong's expression became rigorous.
Hu Chuyuan, he only felt that both of them were very dangerous, and the speed was fast. The blades swayed around each other, as if he could stab his opponent at once, but he couldn't stab them.
After a while, Matsukawa Takashi suddenly snorted. A blood spot had appeared on his chest, and the kimono was also cut out.
Li Cunyi also stepped back four or five steps. It turned out that his shoulder was cut by Matsukawa Takashi. His blood was red. Fortunately, it was not very deep.
He withdrew and hugged his fist and said, "Brother Tai is so handsome. I'll ask for advice later!"
Matsukawa Takashi seemed to be unfinished, but he didn't kill again. He bowed and quietly retreated.
All right.
Finally, it can be delivered to the guests.
Hu Chuyuan is so impatient. He is annoyed when he sees these things. They are polite on the surface, and what they hide are all kinds of small abacus... What's the point? They use the wrong place in their minds!
Hu Chuyuan stood up rudely and said to Shi Zeping, "I have something urgent to deal with. If you have anything else to do, you can only come back in a few days."
Shibusawa Pingdong didn't seem to find a reason to force Hu Chuyuan to hold a martial arts competition with him, so he had no choice but to leave.
When these people left, Hu Chuyuan couldn't help laughing and asked Li Cunyi with great concern, "Is your injury serious?"
Li Cunyi smiled disapprovingly and said, "This little injury doesn't matter. I have my own golden sore medicine. Just go back and use a little. However, the Japanese knife method just now is really good. Fortunately, I have learned the old fight of Miao Dadao from a senior before. That's a special way to deal with Japanese knives. Fortunately, there is such a chance of winning.
"Is that so...?"
Hu Chuyuan thought, no wonder he would take the initiative to stand up to meet the challenge. It turned out to be prepared.
However, this person's kung fu is really good!
Hu Chuyuan immediately told him, "Follow me in the future. You usually point out the nursing homes at home for me. I'll give you 60 yuan a month first. Let's discuss the specific amount later."
Li Cunyi smiled and said, "Your Excellency, you don't need to discuss this amount anymore. It's seven or eight times better than when I was a darts master before. Thank you, my lord!"
Hu Chuyuan smiled and said nothing more.
Li Cunyi said again, "Your Excellency, Rong Xiao said that these Japanese came from the wrong way. Although they have suffered a little loss here today, they will definitely come back later. The rules in the world are like this. As the saying goes, there is no first place in writing, and there is no second place in martial arts, especially Matsukawa Takamasa. Sooner or later, he will still decide the winner with me.
Hu Chuyuan asked him, "Are you sure to beat him again?"
Li Cunyi thought for a moment and said, "The skills are almost the same, but it's a pity that the knife is not as good as people. What's more, I alone can't stop their car [***] battle. My lord, I want to go back to Beijing and invite a few more friends to help me.
Hu Chuyuan said, "Okay, then you can go to Beijing to take care of me. You tell them that if you are willing to work as a nursing home with me, the salary is always easy to say. If you don't want to, you can also be my guest. There are always places to live, and the food and use are also included in my account.
Li Cunyi thought for a while and said, "Your Excellency, I think I'm right. Nowadays, China smokes a lot of smoke everywhere, and even the children of poor families smoke by themselves. Looking up, the Chinese people are weak, and most of them are sick men who have no power to capture chickens. You are famous in China. You might as well shake your arms and hold a sports club to revitalize our Chinese martial arts style.
Hu Chuyuan couldn't help hum. He had always been determined to do this, but he couldn't find time and couldn't find the right person to do it.
Thinking of this, he said to Li Cunyi, "Os, then you can do it and find some suitable people to discuss it. The problem of funding is not a problem."
Li Cunyi was overjoyed and thanked him, "Thank you, my lord. I'll do it now."
Hu Chuyuan smiled casually and said to him, "You are also a talent, and you also have some ideas and ambitions in your heart. OK, I'll talk to Lord Zhongtang and transfer you to me for appointment. With your talent, it's too aggrieved to be the president. I want to talk to Lord Zhongtang and mention you as my personal soldier. What do you think?
Li Cunyi was even more surprised and thanked again: "Thank you for your appreciation. The little... subordinates will swear to the death."
Hu Chuyuan smiled and remembered another thing. He asked him to follow him to the back hall - the Rongbao Hall. He finally found the three generations of Hequan and Shouding from it and gave the knife to Li Cunyi.
