1928: The rise of giant merchants

"The eldest young master is back! The second young master is back!"

"Open the door quickly, it's the eldest young master's car! There is also a second young master in the car!"

Ye Mansion.

At the closed door, the only remaining old housekeeper and Xiaoli, who was looking around, saw Ye Hao's Ford car and immediately ran over to open the large iron door to facilitate the car's entry.

When the people from various forces who quietly gathered around Ye Mansion saw this, they also waved and sent their younger brothers to go back and report to their boss.

The second young master of the Ye family, Ye Luo, has not left Shanghai!

Ma Yongzhen parked the car properly, got out of the car and looked around, then opened the car door for brothers Ye Hao and Ye Luo and escorted them into the lobby of Ye Mansion.

Xiao Aqiao hugged Ye Luo's arm, looked at the big words "Ye Mansion" above her head, and felt emotional.

Ten years ago, twelve-year-old Ye Luo bought her sixteen-year-old daughter at Shiliupu Wharf for ten yuan.

Since then, she has been waiting for an opportunity to enter Ye Mansion in a dignified manner.

Even though Ye Luo later made money, she was asked to run a brothel that could easily ruin her reputation. Little Ah Qiao had no complaints and worked diligently for ten years, putting her heart, her body, and everything she had into Give it all to him!

Even though she knew that once she forgot her real name, Shu Qiao, and accepted the title of "Big Sister, Little Ah Qiao" given to her by the world, she might not be able to stand by his side in public for the rest of her life.

She still accepted them all without hesitation.

In the past six years, when he was not in Shanghai, she accompanied him back here again and again in many nights' dreams, walking into Ye Mansion as his woman, not as the proprietress of a brothel.

Unexpectedly, something that I have been thinking about for so many years suddenly happened today.

So much so that after hearing Ye Luo officially say that he wanted to take her home in the car, she couldn't listen to other information he said about business and changes in Shanghai's pattern.

Xiao Aqiao hugged Ye Luo's hand and squeezed slightly.

The eldest sister who was famous in Shanghai was now as timid as a little girl, and her legs and feet were a little weak.

What if his parents don’t want to see him?

What if Miss Qingqing looks down on her origin?

What if the servants in the family don't recognize their identity?

The more she thought about it, the more confused she became, and her steps became much stiffer.

"Are you sometimes scared?" Ye Luo held her slender waist, biting her ear and chuckled, "I thought the eldest sister was not afraid of anything."

"I'm afraid." Little Ah Qiao stopped speaking harshly now, her cheeks turned red, and she admitted truthfully.

"Don't be afraid. From today on, you are my family, and this is also your home." Ye Luo said to her. His voice was not loud, but it was heard by everyone around him.

There was a buzz in Xiao Aqiao's mind, and she was pulled into the hall by him like a marionette.

The corners of Ye Hao's mouth turned up slightly, and he followed them through the door without saying anything.

Ma Yongzhen stopped going in and stood guard at the door with the old housekeeper, watching the last Xiaoli enter the hall.

Xiaoli jumped into the hall, but her little head was in a mess!

"Oh no, no, no, no! Something big has happened now! Why did the second young master bring the eldest sister home!"

Xiaoli wanted to rush over and remind the second young master, but seeing how intimate he and the eldest sister were, she couldn't find a good opportunity.

When she finally plucked up the courage to rush forward and speak, another voice spoke before her.

Then, Xiaoli felt that the sky had fallen.

"Ye Luo. Brother?"

"Xiuzhu, sister?"

"Xiuzhu?!"

"Miss Bai?!"

Four people and four different voices sounded in the hall.

The hilarious and hilarious scene made Ye Yuqiao and Li Shuzhen, both of whom looked sad, burst into laughter.

"Ye Luo!!! I hate you!" Bai Xiuzhu was wearing a floral dress, and it was obvious that she had put on light makeup. She was holding a thick yellow paper bag in her hand, and there was a faint smile on her beautiful face. Tear stains.

She was talking to Ye Qingqing in a low voice, but when she saw Ye Luo and the others walking in, she stood up happily.

Then she saw a scene that made her feel dizzy!

I have been thinking about it for many days, but now I have encountered a big change. Brother Ye Luo, who is worried that something will happen, just smiles and walks outside with a coquettish and lustful woman in his arms!

He put his hands around the vixen's waist and leaned so close!

Bai Xiuzhu was instantly trembling with anger. She got up and threw the yellow paper bag in her hand at Ye Luo.

Ye Luo was also confused. Fortunately, he had quick eyesight and blocked it with his hand.

It’s such a thick paper bag, and I don’t know what’s inside it. It must hurt if I hit my head!

Right in front of everyone's eyes.

The paper bag hit Ye Luo's elbow with a bang, and the unwrapped coil collapsed instantly, and the clattering dollars exploded like a goddess scattering flowers!

Ye Luo became even more confused in the rain of dollar bills.

"Oh, brat, look what you've done! Xiuzhu, be good, don't cry, mom will take you back to your room first!" Li Shuzhen quickly got up and hugged Bai Xiuzhu, who was about to lose her temper, and persuaded her to go to the room on the second floor. Walk.

As she walked up the stairs, Li Shuzhen turned around and gave Ye Luo a hard look, with an expression that said, "You have to figure it out yourself."

The inexplicable Shura field was temporarily resolved by my mother.

Ye Luo smiled awkwardly, and Ye Hao, who could hardly hold back his laughter, bent down to pick up the dollars.

Little Ah Qiao was also embarrassed. She finally worked up the courage to step into the door of the Ye family. Although she was familiar with the Ye family, this was the first time she went home with Ye Luo in this manner.

Unexpectedly, he bumped into Ye Luo's nominal fiancée, Miss Bai Xiuzhu of the Bai family!

She also bent down to pick up the U.S. dollars, but was stopped by Ye Yuqiao on the side.

"Qingqing, Xiaoxia, Wenting, you take Xiaoqiao'er to Peifen's room. She will move there in the future." Ye Yuqiao glanced at Ye Qingqing and his second and fourth aunts sitting on the sofa, and lowered his voice. said something loudly.

"Yes." Ye Qingqing stood up first and came to lead little Aqiao with a smile, "Sister Shu Qiao, come on, I will take you to the room to see!"

"Ah, okay, thank you, Miss Qingqing." Xiao Aqiao stood up and put the dollars in her hands on the table, feeling a little embarrassed in the face of Ye Qingqing's enthusiasm.

She didn't listen carefully to what Ye Yuqiao said just now.

I only heard the sentence "She will move there in the future.", is this admitting oneself?

Although he didn't know who Peifen he was talking about, didn't this mean that he decided to reserve a room for her little Aqiao in Ye Mansion?

Her eyes were slightly red, and she greeted her second aunt Li Wenting and fourth aunt Bi Yunxia, ​​and then stretched out her hand to hold Ye Qingqing's hand.

Miss Ye Qingqing is not as hard to talk to as she thought. She is a progressive female student, but she does not look down on herself at all!

"Oh, sister-in-law, you can just call me Qingqing! You came just in time, and now we have all the mahjong pieces."

Seeing Ye Qingqing and the others leading Xiao Aqiao upstairs, Ye Luo coughed a few times and hit Ye Hao hard with his elbow.

"Brother, you know that, right?!"

"Ah? What do you know? I don't know." Ye Hao vowed to pretend to be stupid to the end!

He didn't deliberately encourage Ye Luo to take little A'Qiao home just to see Bai Xiuzhu and little A'Qiao meet.

"Big brother, second brother, you go talk to dad, I'll pick it up here." Lin Yuan, the elegant Chinese teacher's brother-in-law, was also there, and he came over to pick up the money together.

"No, let Xiaoli pick it up. All three of you, come here. I have something to say to you." Ye Yuqiao glanced at them and then looked at Xiaoli.

"Yes, the eldest young master, the second young master, and the uncle, you can go and rest on the sofa, I will come!" Xiaoli lay on the ground and carefully gathered the scattered dollars together, raised her head and smoothed her hair, smiling at her they said.

Only then did Ye Luo realize that there were only two servants left in the huge Ye Mansion.

One is Xiaoli, and the other is the old housekeeper Fu Bo at the door.

He reached out and patted Ye Hao and Lin Yuan, motioning them to sit down while he continued to help Xiaoli pick up dollars.

"Second Young Master" Xiaoli crawled over to look at him.

Only then did Ye Luo realize that her eyes were a little red. She didn't know when she had cried a lot.

He sighed and pinched Xiaoli's cheek with his hand: "Why are you crying, idiot, am I not here?"

"Hmm! I want to see the second young master a few more times because I'm afraid I won't have the chance in the future." Xiaoli sniffed and couldn't bear it anymore.

She put the dollars in her hand on the table and folded them. She stood up with red eyes and wiped her tears hard.

"Why don't you have a chance? Are you saying that I'm going to be beaten to death?" Ye Luo Yile folded the last dollar on top.

It turned out that the yellow paper bag Bai Xiuzhu was carrying contained so many US dollars, all in 100 denominations. It was estimated that the total amount was 70,000 to 80,000 US dollars!

"It's not that you were beaten to death, but I arranged for someone to take you to Xiangjiang."
