Chapter fifty-seven love for three lives six
Zhou Tao was forced by his mother Chen Xinran and lay down on the bed for three days.
In the past three days, Chen Xinran was very happy to see that Zhou Tao was indeed not seriously injured.
My daughter's body seems to be better than before. Her originally delicate and slim body has become fresher and more nourishing day by day.
Now, my daughter is like a budding lotus, and her daughter is gradually starting to bloom. The beauty and charm of her daughter now exudes from her body, and her pure and natural temperament make Chen Xinran, a mother, feel unstoppable.
In the past two days, Zhou Tao's grandfather, grandma and father also sent telegrams from the United States. The three of them expressed deep concern about Zhou Tao's physical condition. Judging from the telegram, the father, son and the old lady seemed very anxious, and they wanted to rush to Zhou Tao's side immediately to visit their precious granddaughter and daughter.
Chen Xinran was whispering in her heart. Judging from this posture, she didn't know that she would be scolded by her father-in-law when she went back this time. How could her father-in-law complain and scold her? Why did her father-in-law feel so heartbroken about her beloved granddaughter?
In the eyes of the old couple, none of this family is as valuable as this precious granddaughter.
Fortunately, Taotao was in danger this time. If she really had any problems, they wouldn't have to complain. She would just follow her and let us have a companion on the road to the underworld.
Thinking of this, Chen Xinran's eyes were a little red again, and Zhou Tao quickly comforted his mother with kind words.
Three days later, Chen Xinran saw that Zhou Tao was really not seriously injured, and Zhou Tao's personal bodyguard Zhou Xuan gradually recovered.
So, Chen Xinran decided to put down all the itinerary and prepared to return to the United States immediately with his daughter.
Zhou Tao wanted to make a good trip in China to see what the difference between the current motherland and the future generations, but Chen Xinran firmly disagreed. Zhou Tao, who could not bear to disobey his mother's wishes, could only follow his mother's wishes and embark on a journey back to the United States with his mother.
On the morning of the 29th, Chen Xinran and Zhou Tao hurriedly bid farewell to their relatives and friends in Huzhou and stood up with their entourage to Shanghai.
Chen Xinran and Zhou Tao brought a total of four followers during this trip to China. Following Zhou Tao was her personal maid Suoer and her personal bodyguard Zhou Xuan.
Following Chen Xinran is Chen Xinran's personal bodyguard Zhou Ying and Chen Mei, the dowry girl who has been with Chen Xinran for many years.
Zhou Ying is 43 years old this year. It was the personal bodyguard that Chen Xinran had just married into the Zhou family. When she was married to the Zhou family, the old couple Zhou and his wife helped her to match her.
Zhou Ying was also from the Zhou family's martial arts hall. When she was young, she was selected as the personal bodyguard for the Zhou family's eldest daughter-in-law because of her superb martial arts and excellent character. Over the years, Zhou Ying's skills have become more and more advanced.
Xiao Zhoutao always called her Aunt Ying, but Aunt Ying saw Zhou Tao growing up and liked Xiao Zhoutao the most.
Chen Mei is Chen Xinran's dowry girl, two years older than Chen Xinran. She was also bought by the Chen family since she was a child and grew up with Chen Xinran.
Chen Mei has been very sensible and well-behaved since she was a child, and she is very clever and flexible, and she is very decent in doing things. Zhou Yuanqing and Chen Xinran trust and rely on him very much. Over the years, their status in the Zhou family has become increasingly higher and higher. Now they have become the head and housekeeper of Zhou Yuanqing and Chen Xinran and his wife. Zhou Tao has always called her Aunt Mei.
Zhou Ying and Chen Mei were arranged to rest in the outer room of Chen Xinran's suite, while Suoer and Zhou Xuan were arranged to rest in the outer room of Zhou Tao's suite.
In the past two days after coming to Shanghai, Zhou Tao had the opportunity to talk to Suoer and Zhou Xuan. Suoer was indeed well-behaved and sensible. Her baby face made people look very cute. Zhou Tao also liked her very much and talked to her a lot.
The bodyguard Zhou Xuan has basically recovered from illness in the past two days, but she is still a little weak. After seeing Zhou Xuan, Zhou Tao thanked Zhou Xuan very sincerely, and asked Sister Xuan to take good care of her. She also said a lot with her, which made Zhou Xuan, who was usually less talkative, feel a little flattered.
In the past two days, Zhou Tao kept pestering Aunt Ying and asked Aunt Ying to teach her martial arts, saying that if she had learned martial arts, she would not be able to get into the water when the strong wind blew.
Zhou Ying was shocked by Zhou Tao's request. How could this young lady endure the hardship of learning martial arts? She quickly coaxed Zhou Tao and said that learning martial arts was not a matter of one or two days, but she had to make a long-term plan.
Chen Xinran was even more confused by Zhou Tao's sudden idea. Why did his baby daughter suddenly remember to have a sword and a gun? You know, Xiao Zhou Tao hated fighting and killing the ground the most in the past.
Of course, Chen Xinran firmly disagreed at first, but she could resist Zhou Tao's persistence.
Along the way, Zhou's mother was really helpless by her daughter. She was worthy of promise. Aunt Ying could try to teach her some basic skills. However, if she could not bear it herself, she had to stop immediately. She must not harm her body by learning martial arts.
Seeing that Chen Xinran agreed, Zhou Ying had no choice but to wait for the cruise back to the United States. When there was nothing wrong along the way, she could try to teach Zhou Tao some basic martial arts skills and let Zhou Tao try to learn.
Zhou Tao, who had received his mother's consent and promised Aunt Ying, was of course very happy. She was not really happy that she could really learn how many skills she had from Aunt Ying.
To be honest, even ten or eight Zhou Yings are not her alone. The martial arts of these two people are not on the same level at all.
After the breakthrough of her realm when she was reborn, even she herself didn't know how powerful her own abilities were now.
She has never had a chance to test it since she was reborn. I think it should have been a big improvement compared to her previous life.
I guess I am invincible in this world, Zhou Tao thought proudly.
However, Zhou Tao immediately thought that in order to truly exert his abilities, although Xiao Zhou Tao's body bones are very good, he has not received special training since he was a child, so he is still a little loose and needs to be polished.
Zhou Tao wanted to learn martial arts from Aunt Ying, mainly to exercise her body in a dignified manner, so that her body can truly withstand the infusion of her internal energy and true energy as soon as possible, and to truly exert her abilities.
Besides, if you learn martial arts, you will have an excuse to expose your martial arts at critical moments in the future, so that you will not arouse too much suspicion from others.
That's why Zhou Tao planned to pester Aunt Ying to teach her martial arts.
Aunt Ying didn't know what Zhou Tao was thinking. She was still worried that Zhou Tao's body would not be able to withstand the hardships of learning martial arts. However, although Zhou Tao was weak and sickly when she was a child, she could persist in learning the dance art she liked, which gave Aunt Ying some confidence in Zhou Tao's martial arts learning.
Chen Xinran and Aunt Ying didn't pay much attention to Zhou Tao's need to learn martial arts. They thought it was just because Zhou Tao accidentally fell into the water this time and was definitely unhappy, so they thought about learning martial arts.
There should be many factors of curiosity and anger. I guess she will give up after a while.
After all, Xiao Zhou Tao has a gentle and quiet personality, so how could he really like this kind of fighting and killing skills?
Therefore, the two of them didn't care much.
Everyone talked and laughed along the way, but they didn’t feel lonely or bored at all.
Especially Zhou Tao, a fashionable girl from later generations, was very fascinated by the simple and rural style of the motherland in the 1930s. Along the way, he admired the beautiful scenery of Jiangnan and kept asking about various folk customs, which was like a curious baby who knew nothing.
Many childish questions asked often make Chen Xinran and the others laugh.
Chen Xinran and Zhou Tao, the group of six people, unknowingly completed the two-day itinerary.
After two days of bumpy journey, Chen Xinran and Zhou Tao arrived in Shanghai on the afternoon of the 30th.
In the 1930s, there were many concessions, with bright lights and wine.
Shili Western Farm, as the largest metropolis in the Far East at that time, seemed extremely deformed and prosperous.
The Huamao Hotel where Zhou Tao and his friends stayed was built in 1929. It is a Chicago School Gothic building with a building of 77 meters high and a total of twelve floors.
The Chinachem Hotel was built by the wealthy British Jewish people Alis Victor Sassoon, so it is also called the "Sassoon Building".
The Sassoon Building was designed by Gonghe Foreign Company and was constructed by the Chinese Business Xinrenji Construction Factory.
It was the tallest building in Shanghai at that time. The facade was mainly vertical lines and carved patterns were found at the waistline and eaves.
Except for the ninth floor and top of the exterior wall, the Taishan stone-faced bricks are used for veneering.
A corrugated copper-skin roof with a pyramid-like dark green shape is built on the top of the building's east facade. The slope is very steep and the height is about ten meters.
Rooms on the Bund on the ground floor of the building are rented to Bank of the Netherlands and Huabi Bank, while the rest are in the lobby of the Huamao Hotel.
Entering from the revolving hall door, the lobby floor is paved with milky Italian marble, and the bronze carved chandeliers at the top are luxurious and elegant, and are known as the "first floor of the Far East".
The fifth to seventh floors of the building are rooms of the Huamao Hotel, and its design is quite distinctive:
The five-story rooms are available in German, Indian, Japanese, and Spanish.
Sixth floor is American, French and Italian rooms;
The seventh floor is a Chinese-style and British-style room.
The eighth floor has a large bar, a dance hall, and a Chinese restaurant;
There is a night club on the ninth floor and a small restaurant;
The tenth floor is a British-style residence in Victor Sassoon, exquisite and luxurious;
There is also a large restaurant in the pyramid room.
Chen Xinran, Zhou Tao and his group stayed in a Chinese-style room on the eighth floor, with the rooms decorated in a rather antique style.
Chen Xinran and Zhou Tao each opened a luxury suite, each with three rooms.
Chen Xinran took Aunt Ying and Aunt Mei to live in a suite, while Zhou Tao took Suoer and Zhou Xuan to live in another suite.
After settled down in the suite of Huamao Hotel, Chen Xinran and Zhou Tao each washed up in their rooms, soaked in a flower and milk bath, and washed away the dust all the way.
Afterwards, Chen Xinran took Zhou Tao to the luxurious restaurant, Jiuxiao Hall, Jiuxiao Hall, at the Chinachem Hotel.
