Chapter 56 The concierge of the big generation!
In Chen's mansion, two guests were welcomed in the early morning. Unlike those decent people in suits and leather shoes, these two were big men dressed in coarse cloth and short. When the servants in the mansion saw the two people, they just raised their eyes slightly. They didn't look at them directly. It's not surprising that the prime minister's house was a seven-grade official, and these servants first. He has been a servant in this Chen's garden for many years, and his vision is naturally high.
In the lobby of the Western-style mansion, the two did not realize the eyes of the servants, but they were a little embarrassed, especially the middle-aged man, who rubbed his palms from time to time. The rustling sound of thick silkworms between their palms echoed in the lobby, and sometimes swallowed nervously.
In the play, what does it feel like for Grandma Liu to enter the Grand View Garden? Zhang Renkui said yesterday that he didn't know, but now he entered this magnificent "Chen's Garden" to make it clear what Grandma Liu was like when she entered the Grand View Garden.
"Master! I'm afraid that the place where the emperor lives is just like this!"
Lu Guozheng looked at the Western crystal lamp above his head and asked a little dazzlingly.
Zhang Daqi stabbed Tian Laoliu from a year ago. Who in Shanghai knows that when Zhang Renkui, the 21st generation of the Qing Gang, joined the Boxers in Shandong Province, when he cut the foreign devils with a big guachete in the capital, he also protected the emperor's driving westward, or the court was afraid that he was a foreigner. He turned his head and turned his face to suppress the Boxer, afraid of Zhang Daqi. Maybe the knife can be used to protect the meritorious officials.
According to reason, since the master has protected the emperor's car, Lu Guozheng feels that his master must have been to the palace.
"Hmm! Uh-huh!
Zhang Renkui, who didn't know what the palace was like at all, didn't want to lose face, so he had to take it lightly.
As soon as Ruisha, dressed as a Western-style servant, came out of the side hall, she heard the rustle of Zhang Renkui's palms rubbing, so she looked at the two guests in the early morning, especially the middle-aged man with vicissitudes of life. His palms were thick and his finger bones were thick, which was particularly strong and powerful. The bones were full of old silkworms on the bones, and the man next to him. Although they are young, the old silkworm between the thick fingers and bones also revealed the identity of the two. Obviously, both of them are from martial arts.
Immediately, Ruisha understood the young master's intention of inviting them. The large Chen's garden lacked a little nursing home.
"Mr. Zhang, come here!"
After veing through the joints, Resa respectfully reached out and asked for instructions.
At the beginning of a large family, Zhang Renkuina also had the prestige of Zhang Daqi's knife in the past. When he saw that this person who seemed to be a Western beauty was so polite to himself, he was busy punching. This large family has many rules. When they go to the house first, those servants call her Ruisha housekeepers. This Chen's house is not ordinary, and even a housekeeper is a foreigner.
"Housekeeper, housekeeper, please!"
After receiving the gift, Resa led the two of them to the young master's smoking room. Before the three of them could walk to the door, the servant next to the door opened the thick black oak door. Seeing that the young lady who led the way was walking fast, Zhang Renkui quickly put down his steps. Although he had not seen a big scene since he was a child, he still knew these gifts. .
After entering the room, Risa gave a salute to the young newspaper who was reading the newspaper.
"Young master, Mr. Zhang has arrived!"
Chen Moran, who had already got the news, knew that Zhang Renkui had arrived and threw the newspaper on several times.
"Please come in!"
"Master Chen, what happened yesterday, Brother Xu doesn't know the sky is high. Please forgive me if you are offended!"
As soon as Fang entered the room, Zhang Renkui held his fist and gave a long salute.
"Mr. Zhang!"
After receiving a salute, Chen Moran stood up and looked at the Renkui in front of him. If he hadn't called Jialiang yesterday, he was afraid that he had really forgotten this figure. It was this figure that made Chen Moran react. This Anqing Gang was the youth gang of later generations.
When he was in college, Chen Moran had read a stall book of "Shanghai Rogue Tycoon". In front of him, Zhang Renkui was the first generation of rogue tycoon in Shanghai, and he was also known as the godfather of the Republic of China and the grandfather of Shanghai. Later, the "Shanghai Three Tycoons" also had a lot of connection with Zhang Renkui: Huang Jinrong is a disciple; Du Yuesheng is a grandson; Zhang Xiaolin is his nephew. The disciples can be said to be all over the world, not to mention the military, political and business circles, even the elders of the Kuomintang have ever accompassed with this old man, including Chiang Kai-shek.
But now, Zhang Renkui is far less popular than ten years later. According to the book, two years ago, he and his master Ma Fengshan fled to the west to protect Cixi and Guangxu. Later, Man Qing Dynasty killed the Boxer and bought the great powers. Ma Fengshan's head was cut off. Fortunately, he was alert. When he saw that the situation was not good, he fled out with more than a dozen apprentices. He wandered around the world for a period of time, but when he went to Yangzhou, he followed his brother Xu Baoshan, who was also a "big" generation, to smuggle salt.
Originally, he should have brought a group of apprentices to Shanghai at the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the People's Republic of China. He had a situation in Shanghai. Somehow, he came to Shanghai now, and Xu Baoshan also came.
No matter how he came, just aimed at his big guise knife. Chen Moran is going to settle this person. As for the godfather of the Republic of China and the lord of Shanghai in the future, now, he will be my Chen Moran's keeper in the future!
Hearing Master Chen call himself a gentleman, Zhang Renkui hurriedly clenched his fist again.
"Dare to call me a gentleman in front of the young master, please don't kill me!"
"Well, I'll call you Renkui!"
pointing to the sofa beside him, Chen silently motioned to the two of them to do it.
"Sit down!"
"Mr. Xie!"
I just sat down after holding my fist and saluteing again, sitting or sitting empty.
"Ren Kui, you know Jia Liang!"
Although Jialiang had told himself about his relationship with Zhang Renkui on the way back yesterday, Chen Moran didn't mind asking again
"Return to my husband's words, although Jialiang's father and Renkui are not brothers of the same family, they had a life-saving kindness to Renkui in the capital in those years. The fourth brother was determined to rush forward every battle. For this reason, Renkui and the fourth brother swore that he suffered from each other. He decided to take care of his family and return the kindness of the fourth brother. Later, after the foreign devils broke the city, Renkui followed the master and the teachers. The brothers protected the Buddha and the emperor moved to the west. The fourth brother took Jialiang back to Baoding's hometown. Later, Renkui wandered in the world. He once looked for the fourth brother in Baoding. He never thought that the fourth brother was a hero, and finally died tragically..."
Thinking of the fourth brother's family, Zhang Renkui couldn't help sighing.
"I heard that Jia Liang took his sister to the south. The fourth brother had a life-saving kindness to Renkui, so he went all the way to the south..."
When Zhang Renkui spoke, Chen Moran carefully looked at his look, and there was no hypocrisy in his expression. Although this paragraph was not mentioned in the stall book he read in later generations, it seems that he is still a man who knows how to repay kindness. I remember that the book says that Zhang Renkui's death is actually the end of the traditional youth gang, Zhang Renkui's era. The Youth Gang still has strict rules and formal etiquette. In the hands of Huang Jinrong and Du Yuesheng, the Youth Gang has lost the soul of "theft also has a way", leaving only the shell. As mentioned in the book, the combination of the two things now seems to be at least a man.
"...Mr. Chen's chivalrously saved the Liang brothers and sisters and saved the blood of the fourth brother. Such great kindness can't be repaid, and the gentleman who thanked the fourth brother for his chivalry."
Speaking of this Renkui, he knelt down, and he kowtowed three times in a row. When Lu Guozheng, who was sitting beside him, saw that the master knelt down, he quickly got up and knelt down with the master and kowtowed.
"Ren Kui, how can I treat you as such a big gift!"
Seeing Zhang Renkui rushing to such a big gift, he was stunned and hurriedly stood up to help him. At this time, Zhang Renkui held his fist again. At this moment, Zhang Renkui took out a bright sharp knife and said.
"I have no eyes, but I actually raised a knife to my husband. Now I'm here to plead guilty to you!"
After saying that, Zhang Renkui cut his hand and inserted it into his thigh.
Chen Moran, who had come to him, saw it, quickly waved the crutch in his hand and hit his arm. The sharp knife was inserted and pierced the floor fiercely, making a shallow hole in the marble floor.
When Zhang Renkui raised his head, Chen Moran said lightly with a crutch.
"I don't like the bloody misery. This punishment of three knives and six holes is a rabbit."
In later generations, Chen Moran has read more or less TV and novels. He knows the rules of the gang. If he does something wrong and asks the other party to forgive him, he has to use a sharp blade to pierce three holes in his body, which is called "three knives and six holes." "Three knives and six holes" is a punishment second only to "self-deadness".
Speaking, Chen Moran leaned over and looked straight at Zhang Renkui, raising the corners of his lips.
"There are still a few empty houses in my garden. If you want to return the kindness of your fourth brother and take care of Jialiang, you can stay!"
"Ah! First...sir!"
Hearing this, Zhang Renkui stared at the young master in front of him.
"If I don't want to, I will never force it!"
Looking up at Mr. Chen in front of him, Zhang Renkui took a look at Lu Guozheng beside him. His apprentice's eyes were full of eagerness. For more than a year, Zhang Renkui or Lu Guozheng had been tired. Looking at Chen Moran with a sincere face, Zhang Renkui kowtowed to him and said.
"Ren Kui, thank you... Mr. Xie's great kindness, Ren Kui will live up to his kindness."
