Applaud for Happiness

In the winter of the 32nd year of the Republic of China, Zhao Zhenghe, the leader of the army of Lu Province, suffered a stroke and was paralyzed. His fourth son Zhao Huaiyu temporarily took over the position of leader of the army. Although Zhao Sishao had just turned eighteen, there was not much opposition from the Lu army. The strong Zhao Ershao, Zhao Huaisen, was quickly suppressed.

As for the third young master Zhao Huaichao, he dropped out of the military academy two years ago and re-entered Beijing University. It is said that he studied physics and entered the laboratory of Shen Ershao. He is not interested in military affairs. Hearing that Commander Zhao had a stroke, Came back specially to support Zhao Sishao.

Four years have passed, both Zhao Huaiyu and Zhao Huaichao have grown up a lot, Zhao Huaichao came out after visiting Commander Zhao, and saw Zhao Huaiyu under the eaves in the distance, feeling quite emotional in his heart.

Who would have thought how many of their brothers were there, but the fourth brother who was submissive in the past finally took the position. He has opened his eyes and learned a lot in the capital over the years, and he also knows that his fourth brother was just pretending at first, but Being able to endure from eight years old to more than ten years old is also very human.

For those who plan big things, patience is the most important thing. His fourth brother has endured and achieved today's position.

It's not that he didn't think about the title of young commander. When his father sent him to the military academy, at least [-]% of his thoughts were to let him inherit his position. Unfortunately, he knew himself. He dropped out of school before and took the Beijing University exam, and now doing some research that he loves is much more comfortable for him than being a young handsome man.

He paced over, Yue Mo heard his footsteps, still some distance away, the fourth child turned around and looked over.

He is a young man, but he has the appearance of an adult completely. He has no youthful spirit at all. He wears a dark green military uniform with a coat of the same color, and holds a whip in his hand with leather gloves. He looks like he has just returned from riding a horse. Looking at it with much deeper eyes, it looks like a deep pool without waves, unable to see the slightest emotion, just standing quietly, with an imposing manner.

"Third brother."

The 14-year-old Zhao Huaiyu looked at Zhao Huaichao with envy and respect on the surface, but in fact he was jealous and disdainful. Maybe there was a trace of envy that he didn't want to admit, but Zhao Huaiyu nodded slightly at him, with a calm demeanor and a calm heart.

"Fourth brother."

Zhao Huaichao stepped forward, took a closer look, and couldn't help but praised: "I was in a hurry to visit my father just now, and I didn't have time to take a closer look at you. Yes, you look like a young commander."

Zhao Huaiyu said lightly: "Just now, thank you, Third Brother, for your words of support."

Zhao Huaichao waved his hand: "You and my brother, don't talk about this." Besides, he knew in his heart that even without his few words, Zhao Huaiyu would still be a young commander. He had seen it clearly in the lobby just now, and those adjutants had no intention of objecting at all. , that's where Zhao Huaisen became distraught.

After exchanging pleasantries, the two fell silent for a while, and the atmosphere became a little awkward. After all, the two were not good brothers with deep feelings, and they hadn't been together for a long time. In the past four years, they had only met once or twice during the Chinese New Year, saying that they were brothers. I'm afraid it's better to be close to the entourage around you.

In the end, it was Zhao Huaichao who broke the silence first. Facing the snow scene under the corridor, he sighed with emotion: "So many years have passed in a flash, I still remember when we were young we played together in this yard, and in a blink of an eye we all got married and started businesses..."

Zhao Huaiyu squinted at the falling snow on the tree, not in the mood to listen to his nostalgia, and interrupted him: "Third Brother, you have something to say."

When he was a child, Zhao Huaisen and Zhao Huaichao played together. To him, it wasn't play at all, it was pain, the pain of being chased like a horse or a dog and pretending to be stupid.

Zhao Huaichao also reacted at this time, thinking of those things when he was a child, his expression was a little embarrassed: "Then I will say it directly, I want to take my mother away, I have saved some money from doing research in the past two years, and bought a room in Beijing. apartment, so I want to take my mother over."

He didn't make it very clear, but everyone understood the meaning.

His mother is just a concubine, and now that his father has become like this, the affairs of the back house are naturally left to his wife. On the way he came, he heard that his wife sent away many childless concubines, and his mother stayed at home. In the future, his wife will not know How to deal with it, of course, there is also the reason of Zhao Huaiyu.

His mother used to suppress Zhao Huaiyu for him, saying that even if he was a villain, he couldn't let his mother stay at home, so he wanted to take her away, and I'm afraid he would never come back again.

Part of the reason why he supported Zhao Huaiyu in the lobby and helped him suppress Zhao Huaisen in front of all the clans was partly for this reason.

Zhao Huaiyu raised his eyebrows: "It's up to you, as long as the wife doesn't object."

He doesn't have to pursue what Aunt Eight did to him back then, maybe because he is the winner now, and he doesn't hold grudges against her as much as before. It is already the best revenge to lose the purpose of working hard for many years, but to let him It is absolutely impossible to help her, if Zhao Huaichao can take Eighth Aunt away from his wife, that is his skill.

Zhao Huaichao also knew it in his heart, and bowed his hands to him: "Thank you, I will go to my mother's place first, and we will talk when I have time."

After taking two steps, he turned around again, with an apologetic face: "No matter what, I still want to say sorry to you, for me and for my mother, I'm sorry."

After speaking, he walked away quickly.

Zhao Huaiyu was slightly stunned, then his heart sank, and when he stretched out his hand to the side, a follower quietly came to him, handed him the hat, and he took it and put it on, and said calmly, "Go and send someone to watch over it."

"Yes."

The handover of military power in Lu Province, as the new head of the army, although Commander Zhao did not really pass away, there is an adverb, but the handover still has to be done, such as going to Beijing to report on the award of rank.

When things calmed down in Lu Province, it was already mid-January, and the new young marshal Zhao Huaiyu and his brother Zhao Huaichao took the train into Beijing.

At the same time, Shen Qi was on a blind date.

To be exact, it was to participate in the blind date party for appreciating plum blossoms specially prepared for him that Shen Sanshao held in name.

President Hua made a regulation at the beginning, and both men and women can only register for marriage when they reach the age of [-]. Before the age of [-], it is illegal. Therefore, although boys and girls at this time start to declare love at the age of [-] or [-], they usually don’t get engaged until they reach [-]. Twenty officially married.

Four years have passed, and Shen Qi is 22 years old. He has exceeded the legal marriage age for two years. From his mother, the president's wife, to his six-year-old nephew, Dou Jin, all eyes are on his marriage.

Since Shen Qi passed her twenties, she couldn't bear it anymore, and set up another courtyard outside, and spent more than half of a month in the other courtyard.

It's not that the eldest wife is not open-minded, but in this general environment, it's better not to get married at least first, but Shen Qiling has never expressed affection for any girl so far.

Just when the eldest wife began to suspect that there was something wrong with him, Shen Qi had no choice but to confess that she was only interested in men, and said that she had no intention of marrying a woman in her life.

This has stabbed a hornet's nest, not to mention the eldest wife, even President Shen, who has always been tolerant to him and allowed him to grow up, turned his face. In his mind, Shen Qi will inherit the Shen family's family business in the future, and even continue To inherit his title, he would rather be more romantic than not get married.

The tug-of-war lasted for nearly a year, and the husband and wife resorted to various methods. Shen Qi had no choice but to come out in front of the whole country through the radio.

It is estimated that in the future history, he will not be able to take off the title of the first person who came out of the closet in the Republic of China.

Now the Shen family and his wife had no choice but to calm down and help him deal with the aftermath, but Shen Qi had planned it long ago, he didn't want to pretend to live his whole life, as long as he had absolute strength, what were he afraid of? The emperor, and even those who almost had male queens, not only still held great power, but even among these warlords, there were quite a few actors who had male favorites.

Furthermore, the Shen family is now in the limelight. The first three of the Shen family's four sons already know that there is no hope. He is too young, so once he is made public, the attention on him will be reduced a lot.

And he is young, young and frivolous, who can say right or wrong.

President Shen and the eldest wife had to accept this disturbance, but Shen Qi underestimated the acceptance ability of people in this era, the eldest wife's attitude changed, and she resolutely chose him as a fiancé.

In the words of the eldest wife, if you don't marry a woman and like a man, then I will find you a male wife. Whether it is audition or recommendation, you must start a family.

Even if Shen Qi was outside, no matter how majestic and domineering he was, he still felt weak when facing his old lady.

As for President Shen, President Shen said that he listened to his wife.

Henceforth, the so-called plum appreciation banquet was held, and it was not the first time, but it was obvious and secret, everyone knew what the banquet was for, whether it was a genuine admiration for Shen Qi, or purely for profit, or A lot of people really came.

Shen Qi was sitting under the pressure of Third Brother Shen in the pavilion, and there were a group of young and beautiful young people in the plum forest below, from 14 years old to [-] years old, with all kinds of young people.

Shen Qi felt that the eldest wife probably made a mistake. He liked men, but he didn't say that he was above. Of course, this kind of thing was a matter of face, and he would never publicize it. Let everyone misunderstand like this. .

"What do you think of that?" Third Brother Shen took a fan and pretended to be elegant in winter, pointing at a young man standing quietly under a plum tree, wearing a blue gown, he looked a bit like a handsome young man.

"Too thin." Shen Qi propped his chin indifferently.

"Then what about that one?" Third Brother Shen turned the handle of his fan, and it landed on a young man in a suit and coat in Meilinli who was smiling brightly.

"too short."

"Then that?" Third Brother Shen was not discouraged, he didn't believe it, none of the 32 people he selected after auditioning for so many days could succeed.

However, Shen Qi was unceremonious and vetoed them one by one. He had already despaired of Sange Shen's taste, and each one was better than the other. Did he want to attack with tears in his eyes?

He had no choice but to raise his forehead, and it seemed that he could only blame him for showing too strong an image to the outside world over the years, even his own family thought so, let alone outsiders.

Just as he was about to say something implicitly, Shen An stepped forward and whispered in his ear: "Qi Ye, Fourth Young Master Zhao has come to Beijing, and he came directly to find him, just outside the garden."

Shen Qi narrowed her eyes in an instant, and was about to order to make arrangements, when the kiss from four years ago suddenly appeared in her mind, and she had an idea: "Tell him to come to see me directly."

"Yes."

Facing Third Brother Shen's curious gaze, he raised his lips: "Third Brother, tell these people to go back, I already have someone to choose."

"Who is it?" Third Brother Shen immediately sat up straight.

"Hey, people are here." Shen Qi raised his chin, motioning him to look down.

It snowed last night, and the entire garden was covered with snow. Out of elegance, the snow remained unmoved except for the aisle. The pure white snow and the bright red plums are like a painting when you look up at random.

But in the picture scroll right now, a straight and firm figure walks, like a sharp sword, splitting the comfort in the picture scroll, showing the chill of winter.

When they could see each other's faces clearly, the figures paused, raised their heads, and looked straight at Shen Qi with a pair of deep eyes through the brim of the hat.

Shen Qi propped his chin up and looked back at the past condescendingly, with a casual smile on his lips.

Red plums bloom all around.

Just like seeing you at the beginning of the year.
