Hu Jizhong didn't listen to the old man's words. In his opinion, wasn't he just a foreign wine seller?

I have so many things to do every day, how can I have time to deal with such things?

I have to help the imperial army check people entering and leaving Yueyang every day.

To arrest the anti-Japanese elements in Yueyang City.

He also has a sweetheart to support.

Not two days after arriving in Yueyang with Hu Hongye, he quietly picked up his sweetheart.

His sweetheart was called "Miss Seventh" by everyone.

This seventh lady has some background.

Their family was originally the Luo family, a prominent family in Antong County, Wuhan.

Luo Boran, the head of the Luo family, was also a scholar and served as an official in the government of the Republic of China.

When his son Luo Yicun reached his generation, he switched to business.

Luoyitun gave birth to seven daughters, and the eighth finally got a son.

When the Anti-Japanese War broke out, the Japanese army attacked Wuhan. The Luo family, who usually seemed to be full of benevolence, morality, loyalty, filial piety and justice, turned out to be the first to become traitors.

After the fall of Wuhan and Antong County, the Luo family acted as an aide, killing their compatriots and doing all kinds of bad things.

Also, good and evil will be rewarded in the end.

Taking advantage of the large-scale Japanese troops' deployment and the county's military strength being depleted, the anti-Japanese armed forces attacked the county.

The city was destroyed and everyone in the Luo family was executed.

Only the seventh lady, Luo Manjing, who was in Hunan at the time, was lucky enough to escape.

Just when she was panicking and at a loss what to do, she met Hu Jizhong.

These two people also had their own plans, and they soon got together.

The seventh lady, Luo Manjing, was very pretty and was treated like a treasure by Hu Jizhong.

Luo Manjing has been studying for a few days. She graduated from high school and also studied at Wuhan Normal University for one year.

What she yearns for most is the United States, and she originally wanted to study in the United States.

Unfortunately, this can only become a dream after all.

Luo Manjing likes romance very much.

After lunch every day, she would go to a nearby park and read for two hours.

Hu Jizhong tried to persuade me several times not to go to the park, not to the park.

If she is attracted by the Japanese, the Japanese will not care who she is.

Luo Manjing didn't listen either, but fortunately, nothing happened.

The afternoon sun is warm.

Luo Manjing was basking in the sun and reading a book, with a box of snacks at her hand.

She was reading the American novel "Gone with the Wind".

“You also watch ‘Gone with the Wind’?”

At this moment, an English voice sounded.

Luo Manjing looked up and saw a young man.

Wearing a three-piece suit, a black windbreaker, a top hat and glasses.

And he still speaks English.

The first impression left a very good impression on Luo Manjing.

Luo Manjing also replied in English: "Yes, sir."

"The love story of Scarlett O'Hara and Rhett Butler is really fascinating. Ah, you are still reading this book during the war. You must be a romantic and passionate woman."

The other party's series of English words made Luo Manjing a little unable to cope with it, and she couldn't help but blush.

The other party probably discovered this, and then naturally switched to Chinese: "The correct translation of this book should be 'Gone with the Wind', but in Mr. Fu Donghua's writing, it was translated into 'Gone with the Wind'. This is really

It’s the finishing touch.”

"Yes, sir, 'gone with the wind' sounds more artistic than 'gone with the wind'." Luo Manjing replied with a smile.

The young man seemed to be deeply moved: "I remember when the movie based on this novel was released in Shanghai, the translation was even more brilliant, 'Gone with the Wind', what a beautiful and desirable name."

"Have you also seen 'Gone with the Wind'?" Luo Manjing was surprised and delighted.

Under the wonderful writing of Mr. Fu Donghua, Scarlett O'Hara has a beautiful Chinese name "Scarlett Hao".

Luo Manjing always felt that she was Scarlett Hao.

It's a pity that she didn't meet the male protagonist "Red Butler".

Hu Hongye once served as the director of the Department of Education, but his eldest son Hu Jizhong had no interest in studying and was extremely vulgar.

Luo Manjing actually had nothing in common with him.

Several times Luo Manjing tried to talk to him about some artistic topics, but Hu Jizhong always yawned.

If she hadn't relied on this man, how could Luo Manjing have taken a fancy to him?

The young man in front of me was different.

He is personable, speaks foreign language, and has considerable literary attainments.

And they have the same hobbies.

"I am Tom Cruise, and my Chinese name is Aaron Kwok."

"Luo Manjing."

Therefore, our "Aaron Kwok", the absolutely shameless Master Meng, took a step forward and actually took Luo Manjing's hand and kissed the back of it gently.

Luo Manjing's face turned red.

But she also knew that this was the etiquette of foreigners.

"Can I sit down?" Meng Shaoyuan asked politely.

"Of course, sir."

Not only that, Luo Manjing also took out her snacks: "Do you need them?"

"Thanks."

A pleasant chat began.

This was the first time for Luo Manjing to chat with someone who was so knowledgeable and experienced.

This "Aaron Kwok" seems to know everything.

We talked with him about American novels, British culture, and famous Russian poets.

This is definitely something you can't get from Hu Jizhong.

"Do you have Anna Karenina?" Luo Manjing was a little surprised: "This book is difficult to find."

"Of course, at my home." Meng Shaoyuan said politely: "Miss Luo, I sincerely invite you to come to my home and read this book together."

Luo Manjing was a little hesitant: "I'm afraid it's not good for us to go to your home just after we met, right?"

"I insist, Miss Luo." Meng Shaoyuan said seriously: "I feel that you and I have too much in common. You are so beautiful that my heart skipped a beat when I first saw you.

"

"You, you are going too far." Luo Manjing's face turned red again.

"No, I don't think I went too far." Meng Shaoyuan said sincerely: "Just like Rhett Butler, when he saw Scarlett Hao for the first time, he was deeply fascinated.

Regardless of whether Scarlett Hao has a lover or not, Rhett Butler has no scruples. Under the cynical surface, hidden is the strongest love.

You are Scarlett Hao, and I am Rhett Butler, and I cannot restrain my love for you. But I am not a womanizer, I am just willing to exchange literary experiences with you to deepen your understanding of me."

No one has ever been so bold to confess to himself.

Just like Rhett Butler and Scarlett Hao in "Gone with the Wind".

Such a thing finally happened to Luo Manjing.

Haven't you been looking for your own Rhett Butler?

"Go to you, we are just reading and communicating." Luo Manjing still couldn't resist the temptation from "Red Butler": "Can you guarantee that you are a gentleman?"

"Of course, I said that I am not a womanizer." Master Meng said without blinking, "I am a gentleman, a true gentleman."

How do you say something?
