Director Zhou of the Beijing Police Department once said that when they encountered a difficult case and could not solve it, and were afraid that the people would curse them, the best way was to ask Ervin for help and ask Ervin to do something on stage, or to make a divination, or to have a scandal. In this way, the next day, all the people in Beijing would talk about was Ervin, and no one would take care of the case. This was of course a joke, but Shang Lang's style can be seen from this. Ryan's high-class banquet has also been talked about a lot these days. Drama fans and tabloids have dug up his background, including the Fan family and Commander Cao, and it was all exposed. People have been suppressed by the war for a long time, and it is difficult to make a living. They need entertainment more than ever before, and in Beijing, it has always been Beijing opera that supports the market. The depth and breadth of the rumors this time gradually deviated from Ervin's expectations. Not only were there reporters poking their heads around the small mansion, but Chachaer was also questioned by his classmates at school. Ryan asked Ervin to calm the rumors, but Ervin was calm and said, "It will be Lao Hou's birthday in two days, and they will stop talking about it if there is something new to talk about."
On the anniversary of Yu Kui's death, they had lunch at noon, and a servant of the Cheng family came and said that the eldest lady asked him to go home quickly because the Japanese had entered the house. Ryan didn't believe that the Japanese were expecting Commander Cao to defect at the last minute, so they dared to go to his house to kill and set fire. Although he said so, he was still worried. He hurriedly put on his scarf and hat and said to Ervin: "You should sing well in the evening. I will go back to see and come here in time." Ervin was not happy that he missed his good show, but he also knew the importance of it, so he didn't dare to stop him. He just said: "Come early! You haven't heard me play the drums yet! This job is not easily revealed!" Ryan nodded and left.
A Japanese lieutenant colonel really came to the Cheng family. He called himself Sakata. He had a pale face and was short. Lily and the second grandmother accompanied him to drink tea and chat. The second grandmother's Fanjiabao had conflicts with the Japanese army for many years. Finally, she could not bear the invasion and moved her family to Beiping. She had a lot of opinions about the Japanese. She came out to entertain guests in order to keep an eye on them and not allow this group of notorious hungry wolves to act rashly. She didn't talk much during the meal, and Lily was the one who dealt with them. Lily and Sakata chatted so much that she kept saying that she wanted to go to the Golden Pavilion to take a look. In the past, the third lady had a Japanese female tutor in Pingyang. The female tutor was good at art, music and cooking. She dressed them in kimonos and combed Japanese buns for them. Later, the female tutor returned to China. The Japanese sent several pieces of Nishijin weaving, but the mother and daughter didn't know the goods, so they made them all into embroidered shoes and distributed them to relatives and friends. She tried her best to reveal the pro-Japanese intentions of the Cao family. Sakata smiled in return.
As she was talking, Ryan came in from outside, laughing heartily and in a vigorous posture. He casually threw his cane to the servant and took off his coat, as if he was walking home from outside, saying, "I'm sorry to bother you, my dear guest! You've been waiting for a long time!" When the second wife saw her husband, her expression suddenly relaxed and she felt very relieved. Ryan smiled at her, but she refused to show it on her face. She ignored him with her eyelids drooping and asked the little girl to light a cigarette for her to smoke.
Lily introduced them, and Ryan and Sakata talked for a while, but nothing good came out of it. I don't know if it's because of his limited Chinese, Sakata rarely spoke, and when he did, he didn't say much. He stared at Ryan with a scrutinizing look, and never explained the purpose of this trip. He just stood there, as if waiting for Ryan to make a fool of himself. Ryan was very impatient, and looked at Lily, who gave him a look to comfort him, although she didn't know why the Japanese came.
