"Who is this Mrs. Cai?"

Out of the elevator, Meng Shaoyuan asked.

"You don't even know her?" Gao Heqin's face was surprised: "The famous 'Lady Rose'"

Lady Rose?

Grow roses.

Gao Heqin wanted to know that Meng Shaoyuan was thinking about this, but he was afraid that he would be so angry that he would vomit blood on the spot: "Her name is Cai Xuefei, and in her great-grandfather's life, she moved her family to Singapore, and after decades of struggle, she finally became a local wealthy." She was sent to the United States to study at a very young age, and later arranged by her family to get engaged to the grandson of Shen Liyuan, who had served as the vice minister of foreign affairs of the Beiyang government.

Cai Xuefei accepted Western ideas since she was a child, and she originally refused, but later his parents forced each other, and his mother even did not hesitate to hang herself and threaten to commit suicide, Cai Xuefei had no choice, so she agreed. She was twenty-three years old. In foreign countries, it is youthful, but in China, it is considered to be old and unmarried.

The Shen family lives in Shanghai, and when Cai Xuefei was still on the boat from New York to Shanghai, it was also Shen Liyuan's grandson who was unlucky and was killed by a stray bullet in a street gang shootout. ”

It's funny.

Previously, the Shen family had obtained the consent of the Cai family, and the trustee had completed the marriage certificate, which had all the witnesses, introducers, officiants, and witnesses.

Even the wedding venue was booked.

So this caused Cai Xuefei to just get off the boat and not see her future husband, so she became a widow.

Meng Shaoyuan didn't know much about these, what was the marriage certificate like in the Republic of China?

"It's a pity, it's pitiful. Cai Xuefei is a peerless beauty, but she has not yet been in a cave house, but she has become a widow. Gao Heqin shook his head, regretful.

Meng Shaoyuan couldn't help it: "Lao Gao, I've never been married, what is written on the marriage certificate?" ”

Gao Heqin was not surprised at all, closed his eyes slightly, and said softly:

"The marriage of two surnames, a contract, a good relationship forever, matching the same name. Look at the peach blossoms burning on this day, it is appropriate to have a room for IKEA, and the melons are full of melons in the year of Bu Ta, and Erchang is blazing. I would like to take the covenant of the white head, and write to the Hongjian, so that the alliance of red leaves will contain the mandarin spectrum. This certificate. ”

Holy!

Meng Shaoyuan was dumbfounded.

In my own time, the words of blessing spoken by the host at the wedding were simply weak compared to those written on the marriage certificate of the Republic of China.

In this Republic of China, there are many talented and famous ladies, which is too romantic.

Although she is not officially married, Cai Xuefei can be regarded as a member of the Shen family.

The Shen family treated her well, and gave Cai Xuefei a garden house on Yaerpei Road that was originally used as a wedding room for them.

Cai Xuefei has settled in Shanghai since then.

Because she planted roses in the garden, when the flowering season came, it was beautiful, so people gave her the name "Lady Rose", and the place where she lived was called "Rose Palace".

Cai Xuefei has lived in Shanghai for three years. Her own family is extremely wealthy, lives a luxurious life, likes banquets, likes to socialize, and quickly became known as a Shanghai celebrity. Admirers appear every day outside the Palace of the Roses.

It's a pity that Cai Xuefei turns a blind eye to all suitors.

Gradually, the hearts of those suitors faded, but as long as Lady Rose appeared, it always caused quite a stir.

Celebrity?

Is there another name for courtesans?

Meng Shaoyuan was thinking nonsense.

Sure enough, when he and Gao Heqin entered the dance scene, they saw that there was already a large group of people around Cai Xuefei, Mrs. Rose.

Whatever age, all dressed.

They were all there to be courteous to Cai Xuefei, hoping that Madame Rose would be in a good mood, and they would be satisfied if they could have a dinner with her.

"That, Lu Boming, the chairman of Baohua Foreign Company, Ji Yunqing's friend, has close contacts with the Japanese." Gao Heqin pointed to the people around Cai Xuefei and introduced them one by one: "There is also the one in the horse coat, He Qinhan, the manager of Changlong Commercial Bank, nicknamed 'Fake Oriental', who opens his mouth and closes his mouth about how advanced Japan is and how backward China is. ”

Meng Shaoyuan's gaze fell on the corner of the front side door.

He saw Ayako Ito!

Ayako Ito is wearing a small white dress today, and she is whispering to a man, and her eyes are patrolling left and right from time to time.

Meng Shaoyuan sneered.

Ayako Ito loves balls, and she won't miss a ball like this.

She said something there, and the man next to her kept nodding, then bowed, and hurried away through the side door.

Then, Ayako Ito walked back as if nothing had happened.

"American Dance King Henry arrives ...... British Dancing King Beasley to ...... Italian dancer Mancini to ......"

In the melodious singing of newspapers, the so-called "dancing kings" appeared proudly.

Then, the singer stretched his voice again: "A celebrity in this port, the former director of the anti-smoking inspection department of Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, Mr. Ji Yunqing has arrived!" ”

Ji Yunqing!

In the applause, Meng Shaoyuan's eyes looked there.

Ji Yunqing is sixty-eight years old, thin, white and clean, wearing a gray robe, followed by two bodyguards in suits, and as soon as he came in, he smiled and smiled:

"You've been waiting, you've been waiting."

Don't look at this guy who sees everyone with a smiling face, but kidnapping, blackmail, killing people and doing all kinds of bad things, he is ruthless.

Lately, though, he's been a little upset.

Yang Xinli, the proud protégé of the base camp Wuxi, was killed, causing him to lose a large arm.

Then, Nanjing's "Shengyitang" offended the Lixing Society again and got into trouble.

One thing after another.

In addition, his reputation is very bad, and his status in Shanghai has been completely replaced by Du Yuesheng, so he also hopes to make some influence for the World Ball this time and strengthen his face.

As soon as Ji Yunqing arrived, the protagonists were all there.

Ji Yunqing likes to sell his reputation the most, and as soon as he opened, he said hypocritically: "Shanghai's prosperity and peace and prosperity all depend on the national government's indignation and strength. However, China is so big that there are many barren lands. Ji heard that there was a famine in Sichuan, and there was a tragic incident of cannibalism. Ji couldn't bear it, so before the opening of the Universal Ball, he proposed to hold a charity sale for disaster relief, and all the proceeds were sent to Sichuan to help the local victims. Ji took the lead in auctioning a gold watch. ”

Lu Boming and He Qinhan were unwilling to give up such an opportunity to pat themselves on the back, and immediately took the lead in applauding vigorously.

This gold watch, which was finally sold for 1,000 yuan, can be regarded as a high price.

In due course, the country's legal tender should be legal tender, and the legal tender is pegged to the US dollar, and one hundred legal tender is exchanged for thirty US dollars, and the value of the currency is very strong.

However, the people are still willing to use the ocean as the unit of settlement. Depositing to a foreign bank is more cumbersome, and it is exchanged for the equivalent of US dollars and pounds according to the comparison of the price of the day.

As soon as Ji Yunqing took the lead, the atmosphere suddenly became lively.

Everyone is willing to show off at this time, showing how compassionate and compassionate they are, and how bodhisattvas are heartfelt.

Just when it was lively, Steward Qiu walked to Ji Yunqing's side and whispered a few words.

Ji Yunqing suddenly became excited: "Be quiet, please be quiet, Madame Rose is willing to donate her own gem-encrusted pearl necklace!" ”

Lady Rose stuff!

The vast majority of men's eyes lit up.

This time, the atmosphere of the scene suddenly reached its peak!
