Chapter 100 It's all a misunderstanding
He had a gaunt face and was wearing a long gown that looked a little pale from being washed, looking like a teacher.
He was about 30 years old, tall and thin. He took the tea brought by the servant, took a sip and put it down.
Tian Moxuan didn't think it was possible that he had met the other person and forgotten him.
There can only be one possibility, that is, they don't know each other.
"Sir, you have come from afar. I am so engrossed in my studies that I have lost my manners. I am sorry to have embarrassed you!"
Tian Moxuan took two quick steps and apologized as soon as he entered the door. After all, the man was the one who brought the news about his daughter, so he could not be too polite.
"No, no! Mr. Tian, you are too polite." The man quickly stood up and bowed like a scholar.
In fact, the etiquette of bowing has only been around in this era. Students have to bow to their teachers when they see them, and teachers have to bow back.
When scholars meet, they also have to bow and greet each other, and of course they have to return the greeting.
This is called etiquette, mutual respect.
After that, it’s gone. I don’t know where it went , but it’s gone.
In fact, compared to Western etiquette such as shaking hands, hugging and kissing on the cheek, bowing should be the best etiquette.
Especially during World War I, when the Spanish flu was rampant, no matter what it was!
Tian Moxuan quickly bowed in return: "May I know your name, sir? And how did you hear about my daughter?
Where is my daughter now?"
In fact, the second and third sentences are the key points. Ever since Tian Xiaoyu left the etiquette school and disappeared, his beard and hair have turned a few strands white, and he doesn't look like a man in his early 40s at all.
Even his wife, who usually loved reading, couldn't read anymore. She could only go to the theater to listen to opera occasionally to relax.
After all, she was the only daughter in the family, the apple of my eye. I asked people to look for her for a long time, and heard from my classmates at school that she had joined the army.
However, he had asked people with connections to check in Chongqing for several months, but still found no news.
Well now, there is finally news.
So when he asked the second and third questions, his voice was trembling.
This is different from the original TV series. In the original TV series, when Lao Li and Xiao Tian came to the house, the daughter was already very old and was no longer at the age to be worried.
It’s different now. I’m only seventeen or eighteen years old and still the apple of my parents’ eyes.
But this is only true for a scholarly family like theirs. If they were ordinary people, they would have two children by the age of 17 or 18.
"My surname is Sun. I own a bookstore in Shanghai. Mr. Tian, you can call me Shopkeeper Sun.
The news about Mr. Tian’s daughter was brought to me by a distant relative of mine.
Mr. Tian's daughter is now working as a nurse at the Eighth Route Army Headquarters Hospital in Shanxi."
Shopkeeper Sun told the news about Tian Xiaoyu with a smile.
Tian Moxuan understood that the shopkeeper Sun in front of him was from Yan'an, but he didn't care. The most important thing now was the news about his daughter.
I quickly asked him to sit down and asked the servant to bring hot tea.
Then, I urged him to explain in detail.
"As a bookseller, I have no idea how Mr. Tian's daughter went to Shanxi and joined the Eighth Route Army.
But I do know something else. Your daughter met the fiancé you, Mr. Tian, arranged for her in Shanghai while she was in the Eighth Route Army.
I got married in Shanxi two days ago. I had planned to invite you two to Shanxi, but the journey is long and there are Japanese-occupied areas, police and bandits everywhere. I was worried about your safety, so I didn’t wait for you two to go before holding the wedding…”
Before he could finish, he was interrupted by Tian Moxuan: "What? What fiancé?
As soon as I arrived in Shanghai, I received the news that she had run away from home. I then realized that my daughter had such a strong personality. How could I be willing to force a marriage for her?
So I politely rejected the other party. Where did my Xiaoyu get her fiancé?
Could it be that I was deceived?"
…
When I got up in the morning, the first thing I did was to check Chen Xiao's wound and change the dressing.
"Oh! The wound has opened again. You moved too much last night..." Tian Xiaoyu said with heartache, and then her face felt a little hot.
“Hehehehe!”
Chen Xiao turned around and hugged her, breathing in her scent intoxicatedly. He finally had a little sense of belonging in this world.
Although it was always said before that he might leave this world after the war.
But who knows if we can find a way to leave by then.
Everything is unknown, he is confused and sometimes has wild thoughts.
But now, he also has family in this world.
Although this was sent by the headquarters to monitor me.
"It's okay, you know I have thick skin, I'll be fine in a few days!
Look how deep the cut was originally. Isn't it more than half healed now?"
Tian Xiaoyu also enjoyed his embrace. After thinking for a while, she finally decided to ask her own question.
"Chen Xiao, I want to ask a question!"
"Well! You ask!"
Tian Xiaoyu spent half a minute organizing her words, but didn't know how to start the question. Up to now, based on everything she knew, there was a 60 to 70 percent chance that Chen Xiao's marriage was not the one her father had arranged for her as she thought.
But some things still need to be confirmed to avoid being caught off guard.
“I like you, so I am willing to marry you, but before I liked you, I thought you were the fiancé my father arranged for me.
Now that we are married, I want to confirm that you...are you?"
Chen Xiao was stunned. Fiancé?
Does Tian Xiaoyu have any other engagement like this?
I never heard of this happening in the original TV series!
etc!
Tian Xiaoyu likes to marry herself because she misunderstood that she was her fiancé?
He pushed Tian Xiaoyu away with both hands, lowered his head and stared into her eyes: "You still have a fiancé?"
Tian Xiaoyu understood that Chen Xiao was not the one and she had misunderstood.
Nodding: "Yes! My father was going to Shanghai to arrange a marriage for me, and then I ran away. I didn't want to spend my whole life with someone I had never met.
At that time, all I could think about was that the person I married must be chosen by me.
Later, I met you, and you gave me a notebook. I misunderstood you as my fiancé, and slowly I fell in love with you."
(Let me say here that girls in the past were different from girls today! There was once a girl who had a sudden idea to put a letter in the military shoes she made, and then she found her future husband. Girls at that time were very innocent.
It’s not that I don’t know how to write love scenes, but the love scenes at that time were so simple. You can’t write a plot like I love him, he loves her, and she loves him like the directors do now!)
Chen Xiao was stunned, and after a while he said, "I thought you were sent by the headquarters to monitor me!"
He showed a certain amount of respect to people like Brigade Commander Zhao Gang, including Tian Xiaoyu, and did not use his teaching eye on them.
Therefore, he always thought that Tian Xiaoyu married him to carry out a mission!
He also knew his situation. If it were any other leader, it would be impossible for him not to have a spy.
However, for the sake of anti-Japanese resistance and future development, and most importantly, Tian Xiaoyu is not ugly, not only not ugly, but also very beautiful.
So he accepted it.
But unexpectedly, it turned out that Tian Xiaoyu was not there to monitor him, but it was a misunderstanding.
As for what fiancé?
What are you thinking about?
Who cares about his parents' orders or the matchmaker's words? If you make me angry, ask the monk to get him a boat ticket and take him to Southeast Asia or some remote corner to play in the mud by himself!
What he really meant was, don't try to reason with me. What's the point of talking about reason when you're just trying to steal his wife?
he does not know.
There was a man who thought he was a liar. His father-in-law and his mother-in-law were packing their bags, preparing to travel a long way to expose him and take their daughter away.
Um!
He has asked for two months' leave from school and asked another teacher to take over his classes.
