King of Secret Service

"It's all for you," Liang Xiao said with a smile.

Fu Fangyi picked up a string of jadeite bracelets and asked, "I'm afraid it will cost tens of thousands of French coins to buy this?"

Liang Xiao smiled and did not speak. The jewelry in this small box was specially brought back from Shanghai to Fu Fangyi by him, that is, as a filial piety, to make her happy.

"Xiao Er, where did you get so much money?" Fu Fangyi asked happily.

"You forgot, I am now a major general." Liang Xiao laughed with a pun.

"Yes, my son is a general, so there must be many people who would like to give gifts." Fu Fangyi's words were full of pride.

"Yes, my son is a general, so there must be many people who would like to give gifts." Fu Fangyi's words were full of pride.

Liang Xiao talked with her for a while.

Fu Fangyi is just a son like him, so he can't be too pampered. No, when he came here, he brought Liang Xiao a suit, which was the most popular style this year. She asked a tailor to make it a few years ago. I don't know that Liang Xiao went home to celebrate the New Year, and originally wanted to take it out when he came home next time, but Liang Xiao really went home to celebrate the New Year, so she hurriedly sent the finished suit to her son.

"Mother, it's getting late, you should go back and have a rest." Liang Xiao looked at the time, it was indeed getting late, and he even chatted with him about the daily routine for over an hour.

"I know you think your mother talks too much, but mother can't see you for a year, and finally go home for the New Year, so mother wants to talk more with you."

For this, Liang Xiao was also very helpless, so he had no choice but to continue chatting with her. Most of them were about the family of the seven aunts and eight aunts. Whose son was promising and became a high-ranking official, whose son married a wife this year, whose family My daughter is married to a good man, and so on....

Fu Fangyi said these words because she wanted to urge Liang Xiao to get married quickly. After all, he is already in his 20s, and if he delays for a few years, he will not be able to find a good girl.

In this regard, she also searched for some daughter-in-law candidates, such as a young lady from a certain family who was well-educated, dignified, and matched Liang Xiao's birth date, etc.

Hearing this, Liang Xiao could only smile wryly.

But Fu Fangyi didn't think so. In the era of the Republic of China, men generally got married early, and some got married at the age of twelve or thirteen. When they were in their 20s, children could be soy sauce.

Liang Xiao is in her 20s, and it's time to get married and have children, otherwise, how can she feel at ease as a mother.

In the end, Liang Xiao sent her away after talking all kinds of things.

Before leaving, she was still talking about Liang Xiao's marriage.

Fu Fangyi was sent away.

He returned to the room and played mahjong with Tang Menghan and others.

The next day.

New Year's Day.

This day is a day for relatives and friends to pay New Year's greetings.

The old man took the old Wu Liangdong to pay New Year's greetings to several living uncles early in the morning.

Liang Xiao lived a very peaceful day, reading books and newspapers, tasting tea and discussing wine, he really lived very freely.

He only spent three days in such a leisurely and leisurely life.

Big Year.

The old man invited relatives and friends of the Liang family, as well as dignitaries from the political and business circles of Suzhou, to celebrate Liang Xiaorong's promotion to major general.

This is the top priority of the Liang family, after all, there is a general's son, and the old man's face is very bright.

In the morning of the third day of junior high school, a hundred people in the Liang Mansion were busy. There were more than a dozen Zhuozi at the entrance of the Little Red Building, and the mansion was decorated with lights and festoons everywhere, making it more lively than during the Chinese New Year.

The old man's brothers also came early in the morning. After all, the old man had the same roots as them. Liang Xiao was promoted to major general, and they, the Liang family, were also honored.

When these uncles like Liang Xiao came, they brought their younger generation with them to let them get along well with Liang Xiao and build a good relationship. After all, they are all from the Liang family, and it is imperative to ask Liang Xiao for help in the future.

Uncle Liang Huitao, with three sons and two daughters, has a well-to-do family and runs a silk and satin cloth business. He has branches in Nanjing, Shanghai and other big places, and he also runs dyeing workshops in various places. His fabrics sell well in Nanjing and other places. .

Chapter 181

His second uncle, Liang Huiyue, had a son and a daughter, and he ran a baijiu business. His baijiu sold well in the north and south, and he was known as the King of Liquor in Suzhou.

The fourth uncle, Liang Huiwen, a writer in Suzhou, has two daughters under his knees. He is a contemporary celebrity. His short story Yinguangting is widely circulated among scholars.

Wuwu Liang Huiwu, the next daughter, joined the army in his early years and served as the head of Zhang Fakui's regiment during the Northern Expedition. Later, after the merger of Ning and Han, he resigned from the army and returned to Suzhou to establish a martial arts school, where he served as the principal.

After these uncles like Liang Xiao arrived, the old man's face was greatly improved. One must know that the boss Liang Huitao is a silk tycoon, and he usually lives in seclusion, even if the old man came to the door in person, sometimes he would not see him in person.

When Liang Huitao heard that Liang Xiao had been promoted to major general of the national army, he not only condescended to be there, but also brought his son Liang Mao and daughter Liang Ting with him. "Six and Seven" is very proud, and usually treats their brothers more strictly than they are close to each other.

The old man personally greeted the brothers and welcomed them into the living room.

Liang Huitao asked, "Where's Liang Xiao?"

"He has something to do, he hasn't come here yet." The old man muttered to himself, he sent two groups of people to call Liang Xiao, why didn't he come over until now, he is the protagonist of today's banquet.

"Third brother, I didn't realize that Liang Xiao had any special features before. How could he be promoted to major general so soon after graduating from the military academy?" The fifth brother, Liang Huiwu, was straightforward, and he would say what he had to say directly without holding it back in his heart.

"After Xiao Er graduated, he was favored by the commissioner, so he was promoted to major general in such a short period of time. Moreover, he was awarded the rank of major general by the commissioner himself." When the old man spoke, he smiled and was full of pride.

"It makes sense to get the favor of the committee."

"He has gained the trust and attention of the committee, and he must have a bright future in the future."

"Third Brother, you have given birth to a good son. From now on, we will point to Liang Xiao's nephew to honor the lintel of our Liang family."

The old man smiled and said: "I dare not take such a compliment, he is still young after all, it's just that he has better luck."

"Luck is sometimes a kind of strength. Many of our Liang family's relatives and friends are in the army. Why haven't we seen them come back as a major general?" said the boss Liang Huitao.

"Brother is right, Liang Xiao has earned enough face for our Liang family this time. Our Liang family has been developing in the business world for a long time. Over the years, we have often been bullied by people with power and soldiers. This time Liang Xiao After becoming a major general, let's see who dares to bully us with a few broken guns in the future," said the second child, Liang Huiyue.

"Second brother is right. We have been bullied a lot these years because our Liang family has no soldiers or guns." The fifth brother Liang Huiwu said in agreement.

The old man smiled and said: "Xiao Er's troops are stationed in Hangzhou, not far from Suzhou."

"It's great to be stationed in Hangzhou." The second child, Liang Huiyue, clapped his hands and applauded.

The old man gathered in a room with several flesh-and-blood brothers, and naturally they had endless things to say, while the younger generations couldn't stand the boring talking of the older generation, so they all sneaked out of the little red building.

Around ten in the morning.

Relatives and friends of the Liang family began to visit the door.

Butler Liang Gao greeted the distinguished guests at the gate.

When these distinguished guests came, they all carried expensive congratulatory gifts in their hands.

Among these distinguished guests were the mayor of the Suzhou Municipal Government, the chief of the police station, the leaders of local gangs in Suzhou, and the head of the Suzhou Security Corps.

In short, all the leaders and brains on the ground in Suzhou came to the Liang family to congratulate them.

When more than half of the guests arrived, the old man still couldn't see Liang Xiao, so he had to send someone to urge him. After all, these guests came for Liang Xiao. If he didn't show up, how could he explain to the guests.

Small courtyard.

Liang Xiao was discussing marksmanship with Ozawa Mili when he suddenly saw the old fifth Liang Dong rushing over the guards and running in from the yard. Because there were so many guests today, Li Huan set up a sentry post at the gate of the yard to prevent anyone from entering without authorization.

The several waves of people sent by the old man were all stopped by the guards.

Liang Dong shouted as he ran, "Third Brother, Father told you to come over. Uncle, Second Uncle, Fourth Uncle, and Fifth Uncle are all here, waiting for you."

"Have all the guests arrived?" Liang Xiao asked.

Liang Dong ran up to him and said, "More than half of the guests are here. The mayor, the police chief, the head of the security team, and the leader of the Suzhou gang, they are all here."

Liang Xiao pondered for a while, and said: "Go back and tell your father, I'll go right away."

"Ok."

Liang Dong glanced at Ozawa Mili and asked, "Third brother, is she your unmarried daughter-in-law?"

"roll. ...."

Liang Xiao snorted coldly.

Liang Dong was a big kid, and when he saw that his third brother was angry, he ran out of the yard quickly.

"I don't like this kind of occasion, but the old man has invited everyone here. If I don't show up, I can't justify it." Liang Xiao smiled wryly.

"Tuan Zuo, I won't go, shall I?" Ozawa Mili knew her identity, and it was better for her to show up less in public places like this.

"You stay and have a good rest." Liang Xiao said meaningfully.

"Yes."

There was a shyness in Ozawa Mili's eyes. Last night, her soul was sublimated again, and her legs still hurt today.

Liang Xiao tidied up his military appearance, and led the guards to Xiaohonglou.

At this moment, the guests gathered at the entrance of Xiaohonglou, all talking about Liang Xiao's promotion to major general.

At this moment, a sharp-eyed guest pointed over there and said, "The Lord is here."

All the guests looked up, and sure enough, Liang Xiao, who was wearing a general's uniform, stepped on military boots and walked over with his head held high, looking heroic and extraordinary.

Liang Xiao walked to the entrance of the small red building, nodded towards the guests, then walked towards the old man's table, and said, "Uncle, Uncle, Uncle, Uncle, Uncle Fifth."

"I thought it was someone's young man. When I walked in, I saw that this is our Liang family's thousand-mile horse." 5.4 fourth uncle Liang Huiwen laughed.

"Why did you come here?" The old man asked dissatisfied.

Liang Xiao thought in his heart that it would be good if he could come here. In the eyes of the old man, these guests were all people of status, but in his eyes, none of them could stand on the stage.

The mayor of Suzhou, the chief of the police, the head of the security team, and the leader of the gang, these people simply couldn't get into his eyes.

Moreover, Suzhou is also under the jurisdiction of the Songhu-Hangzhou Military Intelligence Special Zone, and the police chief and the head of the security team are all under his control. In comparison, he even dared to lose face of Wu Tiecheng, the mayor of Shanghai, let alone a mayor of Suzhou.

Of course, everyone who comes is a guest.

These people have no grievances or enmities with him, and he will not put on airs as the director of the military intelligence department in front of these people. .

Chapter 182 Camouflage

This banquet made the old man earn enough face.

After the banquet, the five brothers of the Liang family entered the small red building, murmuring and wondering what to discuss.

Liang Xiao returned to the small courtyard. Today's guests were all for him, and everyone took the opportunity to toast him to make friends. After a banquet, he drank at least two catties of white wine.

No, as soon as he returned to the yard, the guard reported that his cousins ​​came to see him.

He pondered for a while, and asked the guards to reject these cousins. First, he was not familiar with these brothers and sisters, and he had nothing to say when they met. Second, he knew why these brothers and sisters came here. There is no need for them to make friends, as a member of the Liang family, he will naturally take care of the Liang family within his ability.

Miri Ozawa made him hangover tea.

After he drank it, his stomach felt much better.

He called Li Huan and asked him to go to Xiaohonglou in person and invite his uncle Liang Huitao over.

Then, he asked Ozawa Mili to clean up the marble table outside and cook a pot of hot tea. He was going to discuss a business with his uncle today.

after awhile.

Li Huan invited Liang Huitao to the courtyard.

Liang Xiao greeted him personally, and said with a smile: "Please sit down quickly, uncle, I will cook you a pot of hot fragrant tea."

Liang Huitao is over 60 years old, dressed tightly, wearing a black brown cap on his head, and leaning on a cane in his hand. He sat down at the marble table and asked directly: "It is not easy for you to invite me. Shall I drink tea?"

"Uncle, please drink tea." Liang Xiao personally poured him a cup of hot tea and said, "That's right, I want to do business with Uncle."

"Business? Let's hear it?" Liang Huitao frowned, wondering if the third child would hand over Nuo Da's family business to Liang Xiao?But this kid is a major general officer of the national army, and he will surely become famous in the military in the future. Could it be that he is willing to give up his honor as a major general officer and come back to take over the business of the third family?

Liang Xiao didn't care what he thought, he took out a drawing from his coat pocket and handed it to Liang Huitao.

Liang Huitao held it in his hand and looked at it for a long time, then asked, "What kind of clothes are you painting? They are colorful, and this collar is not a Chinese tunic-style round collar, nor is it like a suit collar in Western countries."

"This is called a camouflage uniform. It is composed of black, green, yellow and other colors. It can achieve a good concealment effect in different combat areas." Liang Xiao explained.

"You want me to produce this kind of clothes?" Liang Huitao revealed Liang Xiao's purpose.

"That's exactly what my nephew means. I know that uncle's silk business is spread all over Shanghai and Nanjing, and there are many dyeing factories. I would like to ask you to make [-] sets of camouflage uniforms immediately." Liang Xiao said.

"Making [-] pieces of camouflage uniforms is not a problem. What is difficult is the coloring materials and fabrics. For this kind of clothing, all fabrics should not be too thick, and should be made of smooth and thin materials. Moreover, whether the colors can be evenly applied is also a problem." Liang Huitao said slowly.
