Chapter One: Meeting the Tian Dou Family for the First Time

Thirteen years after the Communist Party of China and the Reorganization, although the country’s borders are still not so peaceful, the remaining royalist troops are still harassed from time to time , however, the inland and coastal provinces have somewhat restored their old outlook and become prosperous.

Pingnan City was the old capital of the Six Dynasties. Although it is no longer as prosperous as the new coastal cities, it still retains its former port appearance, with a graceful scene and a lush, smokey atmosphere. Rich families from old families and new wealthy families all like to buy properties in Pingna City to show off their wealth. Therefore, Pingna City continues to entertain and sing every night, and the dinner parties of wealthy businessmen have started again, making people wonder what night it is.

Yan Yufei stroked the beaded chain around her neck impatiently, feeling a little annoyed that she shouldn't have come here. Today is the birthday party for Wang Suxi, the third daughter of Pingnan's wealthy Wang Youming. If it weren't for the fact that he was in the same dormitory as her and was being talked about by her, Yan Yufei would not have come. It's not that she's afraid of such a scene, but it's just that such an unreasonable waste of time doesn't count. Yan Yufei's fingers unconsciously fiddled with the chain again. Thirty-one beads have been rolling around on her fingers for countless times. . She looked around and saw that the palace's dinner was very lively and well-organized. Those who liked fun could just play, and those who liked dancing had an all-night band. The hot drinks and cold food served in the large living room occupied the entire surrounding area, except for a few Wang Youming's friends. The remaining characters in the scene are mostly friends and classmates of Wang Suxi and other Wang family children. They are just the girls who came with Yan Yufei. There are only about ten people. Most of them were attracted by the many tricks early on, and there are not more than one or two left. They were also surrounded by children from aristocratic families, chatting and laughing together. Yan Yufei doesn't like such excitement. Although she has a beautiful face, the men who want to chat with her are impatient to look at the cold beauty for too long. After a few words of inquiry, they know that there is no hope and they all go their own ways to find fun. Yan Yufei sat alone in the shadows, just figuring out what time to leave without being rude.

The pendulum clock in the hall struck eleven o'clock. Yan Yufei took his coat, briefly said hello to his classmates and went out the door. On the April night, the air was filled with the smell of green grass. The scent of grass and the moisture of spring were suddenly liberated from the hot and noisy hall. Yan Yufei took a deep breath and started to jog. His high heels clicked on the gravel path in the garden. As the path turned, it was already... When they arrived at the gate, the car of a wealthy businessman and a wealthy businessman was parked all along the road outside. Yan Yufei spent some effort to find a three-wheeled rickshaw on the small road. The rickshaw driver heard that people go to remote universities in the middle of the night. Unwilling to do business, Yan Yufei had to double the price before getting in the car.

Not long after the driver Fang stepped out of the main intersection of Wangzhai and turned into the lane, there were shouts and shouts in front of him, and from a distance he saw several people chasing one person and fighting towards him. The driver was timid, so he stopped the car and looked around, then turned back to discuss with Yan Yufei and said, "Miss, this road is not smooth, let's go somewhere else."

Yan Yufei was anxious to go back to school. Seeing that the few men who were entangled in the dark night didn't seem to be kind, they naturally agreed quickly. However, the road was narrow and it took a lot of effort to turn the tricycle around. The car just turned around, and several people from behind had already ran up. The first one was the man who was being chased. The men behind him shouted repeatedly, and only heard someone shouting, "Shangguan Heng, don't run!"

Yan Yufei was slightly startled when he heard the name. The man being chased had already run past the car, but he turned around and grabbed the driver by the collar. The driver was dragged to the ground unprepared and was dragged to the ground. With a cry, he got on the tricycle and pedaled hard several times. This path passed the intersection of Wangzhai and turned into a long sloping downhill slope. He stepped on the intersection three times and didn't stop, and the tricycle went very fast. and galloped down the slope. Yan Yufei was stunned in the car. At this moment, he only had time to grab the side bar and let out a sharp scream before sliding down quickly with the car. The man who snatched the car seemed to have just realized that there was someone else in the car. He glanced back at Yan Yufei, then leaned forward and looked back. Behind the car, only the driver's shouts and the angry shouts of several people could be heard.

The car quickly slid to the bottom of the slope. The man stepped on the brakes hard but was unable to withstand the momentum. The whole car hit the sycamore tree on the side of the road at an angle and shook for a few times before stopping. Yan Yu Fei was so shocked that he sat down on the footrest. When his right foot landed on the ground, he immediately felt a heartbreaking pain. The man who stole the car had quickly jumped out of the car and landed on the grass. At this moment, he stood up and patted the grass clippings on his body. After looking back, he came over to help Yan Yufei as if nothing was wrong.

Yan Yufei's eyes were red with pain, but he avoided his outstretched hand and stood up holding the car. However, his feet hurt when he moved them, so he had to sit back on the pedals.

The man saw this and said very apologetically: "Miss, I'm very sorry, I really didn't know you were in the car at first."

Yan Yufei raised his head and looked at him. , I saw that he was dressed in military uniform, with handsome appearance and a high rank. He originally looked like a handsome man in the army, but at this time, his straight clothes were torn several times and he was very embarrassed. Someone just called him Shangguan Heng. If she hadn't I remember wrongly, Shangguan Heng should be the nephew of Shangguan Duan, the current commander-in-chief of the Southeast Military Region. How could he be in this situation now?

The man saw her frowning and not speaking, only biting the corner of her mouth, her eyes were red and pitiful. He knew that she was seriously injured, so he thought for a moment and said, "How about you wait here? I'll drive over here."

Before he finished speaking, two lights came over the road, and several cars drove down from the top of the path. Yan Yufei was secretly surprised, could it be that the few people who just chased him down again were still there. The struggle failed. Now that she injured her foot, she had nowhere to hide. The man had the same idea. He straightened up, frowned and took a few steps back. Before the car came in front of him, the housekeeper of Wang's house was in the car far away, shouting: "Master Shangguan, are you okay?"

Shangguan Heng relaxed his brows and waved to them. When the car arrived, he jumped out of the car, the housekeeper and servant of the Wang residence and the longevity queen Su Xi, and then Yan Yufei said hello. Wang Suxi was also shocked to see her here. Shangguan Heng felt embarrassed and said: "I didn't notice that this young lady was also in the car just now, which caused her trouble. She probably injured her foot. Suxi, please help her get into the car. I will personally Send this young lady to the hospital."

Wang Suxi laughed and said, "I'm afraid your uncles will know if you make such a fuss again tonight. You'd better go back and wait for punishment, Miss Yan. You are my classmate, so I will take care of you. Go back as soon as possible. It won’t be too late to apologize.” Shangguan Heng smiled and said, “I just disturbed your birthday. I’m sorry. If they hadn’t bothered me, I wouldn’t have. I'm too lazy to fight with them." After saying that he apologized repeatedly to Yan Yufei, Yan Yufei just nodded.

Wang Suxi waited for Shangguan Heng to get into another car and then said to Yan Yufei: "The tricycle you guys slid down along the way, the housekeeper saw it and told me, and brought people down quickly, otherwise I don't know what happened. How about it. It's so late, and your foot is injured again, it's better to stay at my place for one night and ask the doctor at home to see you first."

Yan Yufei had no choice but to agree. Wang Suxi added: "What a coincidence, why did you end up in that car? Shangguan Heng and the nephews of the deputy commander and chief of staff are always wrong. There is a fight every ten days and a half. Recently, the commander-in-chief was killed I had a hard talk with the deputy commanders-in-chief before I got better. I started making trouble again after drinking today. I will definitely be angry when I go back."

Yan Yufei curled his lips and thought, "Dandy." This is what my son is like.

The doctor diagnosed Yan Yufei's foot injury as just a sprain and nothing serious, so Yan Yufei only stayed one night and asked Wang Suxi to send her back to school the next day. Yan Yufei's family lives in Tinglan. Although they are also a wealthy family, they have lived in poverty for generations and have not sought to be famous. They are completely different from the wealthy families in Pingnan City. She is lazy by nature and does not like appearances, so she lives in Wang Suxi's house. I was always very uncomfortable and only breathed a sigh of relief when I returned to school.

As soon as we arrived at the dormitory, the roommate smiled and said: "Tang Zixu has already called countless times. If you don't come back, he will probably climb up the dormitory building to find out."

Yan Yufei blushed and smiled. Tang Zixu was a senior at the same school. He had been pursuing Yan Yufei for two years since he entered the school. Although the two did not have a formal contract, they had long been a real couple in the eyes of others. Right. As soon as the roommate finished speaking, the phone rang in the dormitory. The roommate pushed Yan Yufei and said, "Hurry up and pick it up. It must be Tang Zixu again."

Yan Yufei had no choice but to answer it. After calling the phone, Tang Zixu was already shouting on the other end of the phone, "Yu Fei, you're finally back. I'm so worried. You didn't come back from last night to this morning. I thought something happened to you, and then It's not convenient to call Wang Suxi, I'm worried now."

Seeing the secret smile on his roommate's face, Yan Yufei turned to face the wall and whispered: "I sprained my foot last night, so I'm here. I stayed at Su Xi's house for one night and didn't have much else to do.

"

When Tang Zixu heard this, he immediately shouted: "It doesn't matter, has the doctor seen it?" Do you want me to come see you now? I'm coming to see you now, so don't move.

Yan Yufei said hurriedly: "No, no, it's just a sprain. It's much better. Let's meet again tomorrow. I still have a lot of homework to do today."

Tang Zixu then gave up, and You kept telling him, "Be careful yourself. If you have anything to do, call me. I'll wait in the dormitory. You must not move around."

Yan Yufei responded before hanging up the phone. His roommate couldn't help but said: "Tang Zixu is such a filial boyfriend. He looks good and reads well. Yu Fei is really lucky." "

Yan Yufei smiled and spread out the book. In the past two years with Tang Zixu, she had become somewhat accustomed to his temperament of being anxious about everything, but she had developed her own temperament of not being anxious about anything. Anyway, Tang Zixu was in front.

Early the next morning, Wang Suxi took Yan Yufei and whispered, "Do you know what happened to Shangguan Heng and the others?

Yan Yufei only made a gesture of inquiry. She knew that Wang Suxi could not hold back her words. Sure enough, Wang Suxi said with a smile: "I won't tell you what they were fighting, but it was because they were at my birthday banquet." The fact that he used violence and implicated you made Commander-in-Chief Shangguan lose his temper. He had always doted on him, but now he was sent to work at the grassroots level for a month to build a flooded embankment. It was really an incredible punishment. The remaining few were also sent to work as coolies at the grassroots level. The commander-in-chief and deputy commanders were very angry and said that next time something like this happened again, they would be sent to the frontier. Now it can be more or less peaceful for a while. "

"What are they doing wrong? "Yan Yufei, who never liked to inquire about information, couldn't help but become curious because he was somewhat involved.

"The left and right were just the liangzi formed by the young and energetic people in the military academy, and now they are all in the staff department. Here, there are always times when opinions differ. Liangzi just adds one layer to another, but that's all. "Wang Suxi said it in an old-fashioned way.

The appearance of Shangguan Heng appeared in front of Yan Yufei's eyes. Such a proud man must have never allowed anyone to go against him. The remaining few are also equally arrogant. When they got together, they either had similar feelings or disliked each other. It was no wonder that after the morning class, Tang Zixu was waiting at the door of the classroom. Wang Suxi looked at him and smiled, and asked Yan Yu. Fei pushed himself away. Yan Yufei waited until everyone in the classroom was almost gone before saying, "You don't have to wait for me all the time. There are so many classmates watching. "

Tang Zixu said disapprovingly: "What does it matter? It's you. Don't always be with people like Wang Suxi. You don’t know what kind of people they are, but they asked you not to go to her birthday party. Look, they twisted their feet again. "

Yan Yufei knew that Tang Zixu had always been prejudiced against the wealthy children of Pingnancheng, and was especially offended by Wang Suxi's straightforward words, but he couldn't help laughing when he heard that he was so far-fetched: "Even This makes sense, your prejudice is really deep. Su Xi is always frank and says whatever comes to her mind. This time she injured her foot and she paid for her to stay with me for one night. You sent someone else to do it, and you even want this.

Tang Zixu snorted softly and said: "I'm worried about you. None of these rich young ladies and gentlemen are spoiled by pampering servants. There is no benefit in getting close to them." ”

Yan Yufei was slightly angry. She knew that Tang Zixu came from a middle-class family and was considered a scholarly family, but the sourness of this eunuch was so strong in him that it always made people feel She was so stingy that she pursed her lips and said nothing. Tang Zixu saw her eyebrows furrowed and the corners of her mouth sank slightly. She was so pretty despite her anger. He immediately surrendered and said softly: "I won't say anything. You love Wang Suxi." It's not just with you.

Yan Yufei just whispered: "Where to eat at noon?" "

Tang Zi said hurriedly: "There is a Shandong cuisine restaurant nearby. I heard it is good. No need to make a reservation at noon. Let's go there." "While taking Yan Yufei's book, he stretched out his hand for her to hold.

Yan Yufei sighed softly and said: "You know that my grandfather knows people from the Wang family, so I am going because of my face. Besides, Su Xi and I have always been very good, so why do you have to lose your temper over this. "

Tang Zixu lowered his head and smiled, saying: "How dare I lose my temper with you. ”

Seeing that he was being submissive and careful, Yan Yufei said no more, smiled slightly and took his arm.

Tang Zixu thought of her foot injury and asked, "Has your foot healed? What happened?"

Yan Yufei said, "It's out of the way for a long time. It's just a sprain. I just applied safflower oil for two days and it was fine. You see, I am not walking well."

Tang Zixu endured it for a while before swallowing his words of blaming the Wang family. Yan Yufei knew it. He was unhappy again, and just said: "I wore high heels at night and got stuck on the gravel path in the garden. It's not a big deal." On the other hand, he thought of the frightening night, when the tricycle slid straight down from the top of the path, and the wind roared on the roadside. Scenery flew by from both sides, and she only saw Shangguan Heng's fearless face when he turned around.

The two of them arrived outside the Shandong Cuisine Restaurant when they heard the commotion inside. It turned out that the restaurant was newly opened and attracted many people to try it out. The seats were full, and some people couldn't wait and wanted to take a seat, which naturally caused a stir. Outrage. It's just that the person who dominates is a well-known gangster in the school, and others don't dare to provoke him, so they can only whisper. Yan Yufei couldn't help but wanted to make fun of him, but Tang Zixu pulled him back and said, "It's so noisy here, let's go eat somewhere else."

Yan Yufei knew that he didn't want to They got into an argument, but in the end they got angry and stamped their feet before turning around. But they heard Wang Suxi's voice behind them: "The restaurant is full, so you should queue up properly. What kind of tricks can you do with the crowd? It's really "It's embarrassing."

Wang Suxi is Wang Youming's third daughter. She is a socialite, and there are few people in Pingnan City who don't know her. At this moment, the servants in the restaurant saw her standing up, and they had the courage to go up and ask those people to look after her. They were waiting for seats, and the others started to help each other. Although a few people were angry, it was hard to get angry at this time, and they knew they couldn't offend Wang Suxi, so they had no choice but to leave the restaurant in despair.

Yan Yufei glanced at Tang Zixu. Tang Zixu understood what she meant, but couldn't help but murmured in a low voice: "If she is not Wang Youming's daughter, let's see if she dares to stand up."

Chapter 2: See you again when the flowers are falling

The spring days pass quickly, and in a blink of an eye, the pink willows and pinks are replaced by thick shades covering the ground. After the exam, it was summer vacation. Tang Zixu sent Yan Yufei to the train station and said goodbye reluctantly. Yan Yufei leaned down in front of the car window and laughed at him: "It's not like we're all the way across the world from now on. Don't be so sad. You If you have time, come and play in Zinglan." After saying this, she blushed. They had been together for two years and had never met each other's relatives and elders. Her words could not be more like inviting Tang Zixu to meet his parents.

Tang Zixu's face immediately became happy and he said: "My father wants me to work in the company during the summer vacation. When I have time, I will tell my father that there are always a few days off."

Yan Yufei regretted saying more, but after hearing what he said, he said: "Of course it is your family's first priority. You are graduating soon. Of course your father hopes that you can help immediately. It is good to study more during the summer vacation. ."

Tang Zixu held her hand, still beaming, and kept telling her to be careful in the car. He reluctantly let go until the train whistled. Yan Yufei saw his figure gradually disappearing amid the rumble of the car, and felt nostalgic and relieved at the same time. In fact, his mother's letters home had asked her several times in a vague way, but she never gave a clear answer, which hindered her. For the sake of her being a girl, her mother didn't ask any questions, but Yan Yufei's eagerness to look forward to it made Yan Yufei very uneasy. Although girls now don't have to wait until they get married, their parents always hope that she will settle down as soon as possible.
