On Yuyuan Road in the Shanghai Public Concession, there is a place called "Xiaohebian".

It's not on the edge of the river, it's called "the riverside".

On the planning map of the public concession, Xiaohebian has always been designed as a high-end residential area, in the words of Meng Shaoyuan's time, a high-end villa area.

The people who live here are either rich or expensive.

Meng Shaoyuan also has his own house here.

To be precise, it wasn't what he wanted, but his butler Arau took a fancy to it.

Xu Chengbo helped Arau find a house, and it just so happened that there was a Frenchman who had made enough money in China, and now he saw the outbreak of the war in Shanghai and wanted to leave, so he was in a hurry to sell the house.

Xu Chengbo used a very fair price to get the house.

This is a set of French-style three-storey small building, the living room is particularly large, enough to accommodate more than ten people at the same time, not crowded at all, in line with the usual style of the French, is used to hold a small banquet or ball.

There is also a garden, although this garden is not comparable to Cai Xuefei's Rose Mansion, but it is enough for the owner of this place to spend a comfortable afternoon lying on a deck chair.

"This is my house?"

When Meng Shaoyuan saw it for the first time, he was dumbfounded.

What do you want such a big house?

However, according to Aarau, his new owner is a person of status, a person of status, and the place where he lives must not be shabby, and he must leave a good impression on the visiting guests.

In this way, the owner will have more friends.

And as a housekeeper, he will be even more proud of his master.

What kind of logic?

I have been on a mission outside, and when I was on the front line, I am afraid that it was far beyond the days at home, what do you want to do in such a big villa?

But if you buy it, you can't return it, right?

It seems that it was not a wise decision to casually appoint Arau as his temporary butler, this guy is strict with himself according to the British style.

Fortunately, the furniture and lighting inside do not need to be changed, just change the bed and buy brand new bedding, otherwise it is a lot of money.

According to Aarau, if you buy a house, you don't have to change the rest, but you have to change the bed, because you don't know if the previous owner of the house had any infectious diseases or skin diseases.

"My dearest master, do you know how Columbus died?" "It was because he lived at sea all the year round and didn't change the sheets and cups that he contracted a serious infectious disease and died." ”

Fart!

Columbus was fooling around in Africa and dying of venereal diseases!

Changing the bed and sheets can be pulled together with Columbus, and Meng Shaoyuan can be regarded as a servant.

Of course, in addition to these, Aarau also spent a little more money:

He bought a full set of silver cutlery.

Meng Shaoyuan almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood when he heard this.

Silver cutlery?

Poison test? Are you afraid that someone will poison your master?

This thing is fucking expensive and afraid of thieves.

"A noble gentleman's house always has to have several sets of fine silver cutlery." Arau considers himself doing something very sacred.

Gentleman, your sister!

In addition to the silver cutlery, Aarau spent a little, a little money.

He hired a cook, a servant.

Meng Shaoyuan almost fainted.

"It's a gentleman's home, essential."

Arau said earnestly: "Originally, I should have hired two cooks and three servants, which is in line with your status, my dearest master." But considering that we don't live in a manor, so many people tend to be crowded. Moreover, how to consider saving and letting the master do the most with the least amount of money is what the housekeeper should consider. ”

If you use the agents of the military command to make a black man disappear in Shanghai, you should be able to do it without knowing it, right?

Well, it's necessary.

Meng Shaoyuan began to regret it, why did he suddenly show kindness and let himself have an extra housekeeper?

By the way, there is also a little, a little, a little bit of expenses in the true sense of the word:

Arrau hosted a small banquet.

As a gentleman, when you move to a new home, you always have to have a necessary banquet.

Of course, the list of guests needs to be drawn up by Meng Shao himself, and Aarau is only responsible for informing them one by one.

Meng Shaoyuan's current head is the size of three.

"Young Master Meng, Assistant Wu said you are ...... here"

While she was talking there, Zhu Yanni broke in, and when she looked at the large living room, her whole eyes were worth it: "Young master, I just saw the courtyard outside and this three-story building, and I can't believe it's yours...... It's so beautiful, it's too big...... Feed! ”

Her face turned red and her body turned.

What's going on?

Meng Shaoyuan stepped forward for a moment, and immediately understood.

On the wall, there is an oil painting of a woman half naked.

This is the case in many Western oil paintings.

Zhu Yanni can also be regarded as having received a new education, although she will not make a fuss, but the traditional thinking of Chinese women still makes her feel embarrassed in front of two men.

"Isn't it just a Western oil painting?" Meng Shaoyuan watched it with relish: "We must look at it with an artistic aesthetic eye." ”

As for whether he used an artistic aesthetic vision, or if he had other ideas in his head, only he Young Master Meng himself knew.

"Hurry up and change the picture, hey, who is this black man?"

Aarau has lived in China with Daniel for many years, but he can only understand some simple Chinese, which is basically not considered.

Meng Shaoyuan was triumphant: "My housekeeper, amazing, right?" ”

"Butler?" Zhu Yanni's eyes widened: "Hey, you ask him, which is the best room here?" ”

"Arau, what's the best room in this?"

"Ah, please come with me."

"Xiao Zhu, Aarau asked you to go with him."

Meng Shaoyuan had just finished speaking, and suddenly realized something: "Hey, hey, what do you want to do?" ”

"Looking for a room to live in?" Zhu Yanni was confident: "The place where I live in Shanghai now is temporary, the conditions are too poor, you are so big here, you can't live alone, I requisitioned the best room." ”

"Huh? I wish Yanni, you come less! Aarau, Aarau! ”

Who has provoked you?

Hey, that sounds good, huh?

Living together?

Living with a beautiful beauty, seems like a good thing?

Meng Shaoyuan laughed evilly.

"Shao Yuan-kun."

Just then, another voice came from the door.

Yuri Yamashita Ai!

"Mr. Yamashita." Meng Shaoyuan hurriedly invited her in: "How did you find here?" ”

"I'm sorry to bother." Yamashita Yuriai bowed slightly politely: "You forcibly left me with you, Mr. He and the other students have been settled, but I am a woman, so it is not convenient." Mr. He said, you forcibly detained me, let me find a way. Your assistant, Ms. Wu Jingyi, said that you live here, so I came here. ”

This Wu Jingyi, everyone stuffs it here.

Looking for a place to live? Where can I find you......

Slow, it's not ready-made here?

A Chinese beauty, a Japanese beauty.

developed.

Meng Shaoyuan immediately took it seriously: "Teacher Yamashita, since I invited you here, I must be responsible for you to the end." You see, I'm so big here, you can just find a room and live here. I have a cook and a housekeeper, so you don't have to worry about life, just be your translator, that's the biggest help to me. ”

How generous it is.

The image of a righteous gentleman is about to come out.

Yamashita Yuria seemed a little hesitant: "Thank you very much for your kindness, Shohara-kun." However, you and I are both unmarried, and it seems a little inconvenient to live here at the same time. ”

Nonsense, do you want to bring your husband to live with you?

Meng Shaoyuan said very sincerely: "I have already taken this into consideration, so I have specially arranged for my subordinates, Miss Zhu Yanni lives here, and you two women live together, so that others will not have gossip." ”

"That's great...... However, Shao Yuanjun, Mr. He just asked me to come to you just now, why did you think about it before? ”

"This ...... Aarau, Aarau, hurry up and get me down! ”

In this way, Meng Shaoyuan's happy cohabitation life with two beauties began......

Dinner was eaten here, a French meal, using silver cutlery that I had just bought.

Just try your hand at the chef's craft.

At first, Zhu Yanni was still wary of this teacher named Yuri Yamashita.

The person is beautiful, or Meng Shaoyuan's teacher?

The most important thing is the Japanese?

But after all, they are both women, and there are many topics of the same, and soon, the two women let down their guard against each other and talked very intimately.

Instead, Meng Shaoyuan, who was in infinite reverie, was left out in the cold.

What is this?

It is the cohabitation of a man and two women, not the cohabitation of two women.

And why did they keep whispering, and glancing at themselves from time to time, with a very wary expression on their faces?

Are they guarding themselves against something?

After dinner, Meng Shaoyuan hurriedly took a shower, and then took out a bottle of red wine and two glasses.

He put on his nightgown, went outside Yuri's room at Yamashita, and knocked politely on the door.

"Who?"

"I, Meng Shaoyuan."

"Ah, what's the matter with you?"

"I brought a bottle of red wine, and I want to discuss something with you."

"Shao Yuanjun, it's late, can you talk about it tomorrow?"

No way!

"Who?"

"Yanni, it's me."

"Get out!"

What the fuck is this cohabitation life?

"My dearest master, why don't you rest so late?" Aarau, who had just finished inspecting each floor, saw Meng Shaoyuan standing there stupidly carrying a bottle of red wine and two glasses.

"Ah, this, I'd like to have some drink, go around."

Arrau glanced at the two cups with a hint of displeasure in his eyes: "My dearest sir, you are not a gentleman's behavior. ”

I'll rely on it again!

This is definitely not the cohabitation life that Meng Shaoyuan imagined!
