Chapter 1 The Return of the Wanderer

Suzhou Changmen North Pier has always been the most lively place in Suzhou since the Republic of China. Every day, giant ships are entering and leaving, rushing and spitting out most of Suzhou's livelihoods.

As soon as noon arrived, with a long whistle, a 10,000-ton ship slowly approached the shore. The ship was printed in exquisite and neat English, and it was vaguely visible that the deck was full of gentlemen and ladies wearing fragrant clothes and shadows.

Compared with the ordinary passenger ship next to it, the giant ship is like a witch.

When traveling, it is often a matter of being together, so a lonely young man on the boat will become eye-catching.

He looked at him in his twenties, tall and tall, with a little unclearable youthful face, but he was very young and mature in a flat and upright suit, and seemed very serious.

On the box that carried with you, the letters from the medical school and the two words "Du He" marked in English are swaying. Everyone knows that they are curious about this young man, but when they see him serious, no one takes the liberty to approach him, leaving the young man with space to look out for the distance.

As soon as the ship landed, he wandered in a foreign country for four years. Du He, who was thirsty in his homesickness, flocked to the shore with the crowd.

The pier was filled with passengers and people picking up relatives and friends. Apart from the crowd of smiling people, Du He couldn't help but look for his relatives who picked up the boat with a hint of anticipation.

But he looked around and still couldn't see the mother who picked him up, and there was not even a familiar person.

"Strange, why didn't I find my mother? Uncle Hai didn't see me either? Didn't my letter be delivered?" Du He murmured, and after the crowd was scarce, he did not wait for the family who picked up the boat, and his face could not hide his loss.

He didn't show his expression. He took a deep breath and slowly walked towards a rickshaw driver who was taking care of his work, intending to return home by himself. He finally got three cars and settled his more than a dozen boxes of luggage, and then headed towards the Du family mansion.

After studying medicine abroad for four years, Du He has not returned once. He learns what he doesn't like in a foreign country. The difference in culture and habits makes Du He's personality even more closed. Every time he misses his homesickness, he almost forgets what his hometown looks like.

"Fortunately, these treasures are with me." Du He's eyes swept through a small box next to him, and he couldn't see how he was moving. He had an extra deck of playing cards in his hand, which made people move in a dazzle.

The two coachmen running side by side were very surprised when they saw it. After watching it for a long time, they couldn't help but ask: "Isn't this young master a trick just now? It's really the first time I saw it, it's very strange!"

Although Du He is easy-going, he is quite introverted. At this time, he doesn't know how to say a few words to boast about his family background. He just nodded dumbly and even answered.

He didn't say it, but another coachman had a lively vision and knew Du He's address. He immediately praised: "Whose young master is this? This is the young master of the Du family of the magic family, and that is the future young master of Lian Kuiban, the first-class magic master! I'm right, Young Master Du has a family background, right?"

Du He said "hmm" and couldn't help but correct it, "It's magic, not a trick."

The flattery was not enough, and the coachman was not shy. When he turned his eyes, he smiled and talked to the other two people about a topic, which did not make the atmosphere awkward.

Du He didn't want to talk to him, but he knew his family's affairs. Although he was the only son of Liankui's class as the head teacher, he had a few special skills.

But somehow, when he was a teenager, when he was about to prepare for elementary school, his family forbidden him from learning to pass on his skills. When he was seventeen, he was directly abroad by his family. He had wandered abroad for four years and was now twenty-one years old. He said he had returned from his studies, but he had recorded a few dizzy anatomical pictures, which were only he himself knew.

He loves magic the most and thinks he has some talent. Unfortunately, except for the little Western tricks he secretly learned, he never taught him the simplest coin to put on a cup at home.

Even his father, Du Zhongheng, the boss Du Zhongheng, who was in power in the Shanghai Liankui Ban, changed his career to Nanyang ten years ago and never encountered an old business again.

Although the Du family still has the title of a magic family, if nothing unexpected happens, the reputation will be until his generation. The family's origins are true, but he is a person who is strong outside and does the same thing.

However, Du He touched the box in his hand, then looked at the big boxes on both sides, his eyes firmly, as if he had made up some determination.

At midnight, the weather in Suzhou was the hottest, but it was already New Year's Day and the weather was only about ten degrees. However, the three coachmen still sweated heavily and sent Du He to the door of Du's house. Even his hair was soaked. He thoughtfully removed the box and placed it in a good manner. This shows his honesty.

Du He didn't say anything good, but just gave him a few more money and asked the coachmen to buy a big bowl of tea to drink.

After the coachmen left with great gratitude, Du He turned around and looked at the copper buckle door in front of him, and took his hands with nostalgia, touched the mark on the copper buckle, looked around at the door lintel, and sighed slightly.

After four years, there seems to be no change in the family. He is the only one who grows from a young boy to a young man.

Du He smiled and buckled the copper ring at the door. A heavy collision sound came out. Soon, a man in black-clothed man opened the door and showed his head.

As soon as he saw Du He, the manager immediately rubbed his eyes, then said "Oh my God", took a step back, and asked tentatively: "Young Master, are you back?"

Du He nodded with a smile, called Uncle Hai, naturally stretched out his hand to shake the manager's hand, and asked again: "Where is my mom, have you received my letter from me at home? I didn't see her at the dock."

Uncle Hai looked at his hand that had just been shaken by Du He with a weird expression, and subconsciously said, "Miss is still in the yard to have a cool cold. I haven't heard that the young master is back today..."

Du He was stunned for a moment, then walked quickly towards the patio. From a distance, he saw his mother's familiar black velvet cheongsam. Her mother was wearing fashionable hair and a relaxed expression. She was holding a pair of exquisite scissors to build flowers.

Du He didn't know how many times the mother and son met in his dream. When he saw it, he shouted excitedly: "Mmma!" and he walked over quickly.

Du's mother paused when she heard the sound and turned to look at Du He, but her face darkened. Before Du He could approach, she frowned and shouted softly: "Ahe, what are you doing when you are back?"

Du He's movement stopped. He opened his hands in a bit at a loss and said, "Mom, I, I've finished my studies..."

Du's mother raised her eyebrows, a little confused, but her face was a little better. She whispered to the servants, comforted her son, placed Du He's luggage, and took Du He into the front hall with her.

Du He noticed at a glance that the image of Lu Zu, who was originally hung in the front hall, disappeared, and was replaced by a brand new Fan Li.

Du's mother sat happily on Du He's head, and asked with Du He's hand.

At first, Du He was still a little restrained, but later when he saw Du's mother smiling, he gradually let go. In addition to medical courses, he told all the latest things he saw in Europe, and carefully mixed them with several things performed by the magician.

Du's mother didn't say anything, but suddenly asked Du He: "Ahe, I heard that a new bloodletting therapy has been released in England that can treat chronic diseases? I wonder if it can cure my mother's cough?"

Du He casually rejected it, "Oh, mom, there are, yes, but the new method always needs to be tested for a few days. If mom wants to see a doctor, it is better to use mature medical skills."

Du's mother's face changed slightly, she said nothing, but only urged her son to wash up and rest earlier. After Du Hexin left the main hall with satisfaction, it gradually became gloomy.

The old butler Ah Heimo came to the hostess silently. Du's mother suddenly spoke as if her eyes were on her back: "Ah, Ah He is not focused on medical skills, and he didn't even notice the scam we heard here..."

Du's mother's voice continued to be hard, and she slapped the table with some pain, "Since that evil son is not doing his job properly, he must have learned magic!"

The folds on Ah Hai's face shook and he said slowly: "Madam, maybe the young master is tired of travel..."

"It's impossible! He talked to me about those things, and he was so polite. But when I asked about my studies, he was lost," Du's mother suddenly raised her eyebrows and asked suddenly, "Have Ahe's luggage been put back to his room?"

Ah Hai shook his head, "The person below has been put in the ear room. Mrs. Li said that she would wash the master's clothes first to remove the dust."

He sighed and tentatively opened his mouth to defend the young master, "Madam, the young master is also determined to inherit the master's skills. He has no intention of not doing his job properly."

Du's mother had already stood up, stroked the cheongsam's buckle, and walked out, whispering: "Ahai, my own son knows that Ahe certainly has no bad intentions, but since the master explicitly prohibits the Du family from getting magic again, he can't get it!"

Ahai closed his mouth and followed Du's mother closely, and went to the ear room. As soon as he entered the room, Ahai heard a crisp sound, but found that Du's mother was standing among the ten open boxes, trembling all over.

The servant explained guiltily that he did not mean it, but the place where Du's mother was angry was obviously not here, but those boxes.

The box was full of magic props, and I had never seen them before, and they were full of dazzling arrangements. Ah Hai was a little confused. If the master had not yet retreated, he would definitely be happy to see him. Unfortunately... the Du family is not the original Du family now.

Du's mother gritted her teeth and stood among the trembling servants with a white face, saying word by word: "Take all these things for me to burn them, and no one is allowed to be left!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Du Helanyang's voice came over, "Mom, why are you burning? I can't even sleep if you make a noise...What are you doing?"

Ah Hai's waist bent deep, and his small ear room was immediately silent, and the needle fell to him.
