Outline of Meng Laicai's Legend

Late Qing Dynasty, Tianjin Wei. Meng Laicai, a beggar whose wife just died, is as poor as a church mouse. He can't afford two daughters, so he can only sell one, or he will starve to death. He asked Xiaoyun and Xiaoxue to draw lots. Xiaoxue was robbed by traffickers and sold for five taels of silver. Meng Laicai is very sad. Later, Meng Laicai met Han Naigen, a down-and-out German businessman, in the street. Because Han Naigen doesn't know how to sell arms in China, his business has been a failure and almost went bankrupt. He asked Meng Laicai to be his sidekick. Meng Laicai didn't want to work for foreigners at first, but as soon as he heard that he could get five taels of silver right away, he immediately agreed. He took the money and wanted to redeem Xiaoxue, but the trafficker had long since disappeared. ...

Meng Laicai taught Han Naigen how to "manage" and "mean" important officials, and he finally met Cao Peng, the company commander in charge of arms procurement. Genta Toshi Utsumi, a Japanese businessman who has been selling weapons to Cao Peng for a long time, beat up Han Naigen and Meng Laicai. Meng Laicai mobilized Jianghu friends, deceived Genta and Xiong Jun, and let Han Naigen take the opportunity to get the arms order. Han Naigen made a fortune, and Meng Lai became the nouveau riche boss of the foreign firm.

Xiaoxue has been resold three or four times. Finally, Master He, who is kind-hearted, redeemed Xiaoxue, accepted her as his adopted daughter, and changed her name to Why. From then on, Yin Fei took to the streets to perform with Master He.

Meng Laicai married Yao Caifeng, who looks fairly beautiful, as his second wife. He didn't know it was Tian Yuan Xiong Jun's deliberate arrangement. Xiaoyun doesn't like this stepmother. On the wedding day, Swallow followed He Dashi to perform at Meng's house. Because of makeup, father and daughter missed a chance to meet. Xiaoyun brought a bunch of poor children like Qiu Han and screwed up the wedding. Since then, the two girls have often quarreled. Meng Laicai, who was distressed by his daughter and afraid of his wife, had to send Xiaoyun to Germany to study.

Years later, Xiaoyun returned to China. Zhao, a poor child who grew up with her, has been working as a reporter in a newspaper. Xiaoyun has always had a crush on Zhao, but she never imagined that Zhao always treated her as a sister. What she really likes is Haruko, the sister of Japanese arms dealer Genta Xiong Jun. Cao, the son of the Northern Warlord, took a fancy to Xiaoyun, but Xiaoyun didn't care about this silly boy. Xiaoyun, who studies education, organized a primary school for poor girls. When she wanted to rent a school building with her father's funds, Yao's family gave her a problem. Later, Xiaoyun found that Yao had a close relationship with Shangyuantian, so he started a contest with Yao. Yao Rang sent someone to kidnap Xiaoyun, and his brother accidentally rescued Xiaoyun. ...

In order to please Xiaoyun, I took her to visit Cao's military camp. She was surprised to see Cao let the soldiers show their marksmanship with apples on their heads. Xiaoyun was shocked when she learned that all German guns used by Cao Peng were purchased from her father's foreign company. She asked her father to give up the arms deal immediately, and Meng Laicai naturally refused. Zhao disclosed the inside story of Meng Laicai selling arms in the newspaper, and progressive students destroyed Meng Laicai's foreign firm. Yao provoked that Xiaoyun and Zhao planned it together. Meng Laicai was very angry and slapped Xiaoyun. Xiaoyun ran away from home and father and daughter broke up.

Xiaoyun lives in Niu Niu's house in a slum and works as a female worker in an egg factory. Yan Fei of Hill Road took photos in the concession in Xiaoyun's clothes. Yao Caifeng, eager to marry Xiaoyun to Cao Cao, mistook Yin Fei for Xiaoyun and forcibly took her home. I have long known that Yao Yan simply stayed to tease this vicious woman. ...

He Dashi's real identity is the liaison of Sun Yat-sen's revolutionary government. He bought arms from Meng Laicai and smuggled them into Guangdong. When Yuan Shikai's spy came to chase the bullet in his body, he wanted to explain to the swallow, hoping that his adopted daughter could continue to undertake the unfinished mission, but he mistook Xiaoyun for a swallow in a coma. Xiaoyun, who had admired Sun Yat-sen for a long time, was very surprised, but she accepted this sacred mission gladly. 19 17, the Beiyang government announced that it had broken diplomatic relations with Germany and became a belligerent country, and Han Naigen fled hastily. Under the planning of Tian Yuan Xiong Jun, Meng Laicai was accused of being a German spy and imprisoned. Xiaoyun begged Cao Peng to save him, but all his property was seized, and Yao Shi abandoned him. He was homeless, so he tasted everything in the world. In the early years, poor friends did not blame Meng Laicai for deliberately alienating him after he became rich, but also enthusiastically took him in. Meng Laicai returned to the slum where he lived in those years. Naturally, he has mixed feelings and mixed feelings.

When Germany was defeated in World War I, Ge Nong, the special envoy of Beiyang government, came to Tianjin to negotiate with Xiong Jungen, the Japanese special envoy, that Japan would take over Germany's interests in China. The southern revolutionary government plans to make this conspiracy public before the implementation of the traitorous agreement. Xiaoyun was determined to undertake the task and tried every means to enter Genong House to obtain the text of the Sino-Japanese Secret Treaty. Knowing Xiaoyun's identity, Ge Nong, who had long coveted Xiaoyun, showed his cards to Meng Laicai: either arrest Xiaoyun and let him die, or send him to his own house as a concubine. Meng Laicai was in a dilemma, but Xiaoyun offered to go to Ge Farmhouse. Before leaving, Yan Fei was afraid that Xiaoyun would suffer, and took the initiative to pretend to be Xiaoyun to deal with Ge Nong. In Gefu, Yin Fei got Ge drunk and finally opened the safe, only to be caught by the cunning Ge. Xiaoyun surrendered himself in Gefu to save the swallow. Meng Laicai was very anxious when he saw his two daughters trapped in the gate of hell. He used the old tricks in the Jianghu to steal the Minutes of China-Japan Secret Talks with friends in the Jianghu, and offered to exchange the documents for the freedom of Ge Nong's two daughters. Zhao advised Meng Laicai to submit this document to the newspaper for publication, and told him that if the Japanese succeeded, a large area of Shandong originally belonging to China would be occupied by Japan! Meng Laicai is in a dilemma ... Xiaoyun and Yan Fei have just been released, and Zhao published the Minutes of China-Japan Secret Talks in the newspaper, which immediately caused an uproar in the whole country ... Angry Ge Nong sent people to arrest Meng Laicai's father and daughter, but they hid in the "three cares" slum, like fish returning to the sea, where can they be found?

The news of "Paris Peace Conference" came: the powers forcibly handed over German interests in China to Japan. The vigorous May 4th Movement broke out. Ge Nong was beaten by progressive students and his home was burned down. Xiao Yun, Yan Fei and Zhao He all took part in the patriotic parade. ...

Chunzi wanted to die with her rival Xiaoyun because she couldn't get Zhao, but she mistook the swallow for Xiaoyun. Later, Chunzi accidentally ate the poison she gave and died. Her brother fled Tianjin in an angry protest, and Yao, who is rich and rich, is also crazy. ...

The sisters Xiaoyun and Yan flew back to their father Meng Laicai, who became poor again after suffering. Meng Laicai realized that in the face of national interests, personal interests are insignificant, and what he needs more is family rather than money. In the slum, Xiaoyun and Qiu Han drink for her sister's wedding. Swallow changed clothes with her sister again, drank too much and was carried into the bridal chamber. Hill took Xiaoyun and said, Your sister and Qiu Han are both in the bridal chamber. What about us? Hearing this, Xiao Yun suddenly remembered what was going on and ran to the bridal chamber and shouted, Wrong, I am the bride. ...
