Golden Scale Club [Republic of China + Jiang Chengyan X Mu Bingci]

Troubles come out of poor mountains and bad waters.When there are too many troublemakers, bandits will start appearing.

I used to be a bandit, and I lived a life of looting and looting houses. In times of peace and prosperity, I can't make any mistakes, so I can be happy.

Unexpectedly, in troubled times, a few peasant brothers read some books, their brains were cramped, and they gathered a large group of peasant brothers to protest against the Qing government.

The Qing government also failed to live up to it, and was beaten up by such a group of refugees.The yamen in various places are unbearably disturbed, and the central government can't allocate funds to support the soldiers. As a last resort, a few bastard masters cleverly proposed a plan: Have you read the Water Margin?Recruit the bandits to fight the rebels.

There really were a few bandit leaders who didn't hold back and recruited Ann.

As for the post-recruitment, the bandit business is definitely not going to work anymore.Some were organized into the local army, and some couldn't get along with the officials and turned to become refugees.

There are also a very small number of bandit leaders who are really tough. Seeing that the legions all over the country have become independent warlords, they put their guns on the heads of local officials and forced them to hand over control. They recruited local troops and became local tyrants Warlord chief.

Such a sudden change from bandit to warlord, that is to hold a certificate to work, and immediately become tall.

This is the origin of the Mu family, the warlord of the Huizhou and Anhui cliques.

His ancestors became bandits in the Jiaqing period of the Qing government, occupying mountains and becoming kings, and Yuan Shikai proclaimed himself emperor in the fourth year of the Republic of China. The Mu family developed from a bandit leader occupying a mountain in Chuzhou to an iron law warlord dominating Huizhou.The local emperor has been confirmed.

In the 16th year of the Republic of China, Mu Chengshan's power from Anhui Province ranked among the top ten warlords in the country, and he also had a cousin Mu Qishan who served as the prime minister of the Beiyang government, and his limelight even overwhelmed other miscellaneous armies.

As far as the boundary of Huizhou is concerned, there is nothing but Bai Daiwa's horse head wall.Take a look at the Nine Links on the eighteen-mile mountain road. At a glance, it's either trees or grass, or it's cattle, sheep, horses and donkeys grazing in the grass.

The roar of the engine of the foreign car came from the mountain road, and the cattle, sheep, horses and donkeys in the wild grass in the valley stopped to graze, and flicked their tails to look at the machinery whizzing by on the mountain road.

"If you want to talk about the most famous scenery in Huizhou—it's nothing else, it's the young master of Mu Shuai's mansion. Mr. Jiang, you don't know that when the young master came back from overseas the year before last, Mu Shuai specially organized a dust-cleaning banquet , introduced the young master to those gentry and celebrities. There was nothing that night, but the next day, all the matchmakers from all over the world came to the door. They really stepped on the threshold of the house! Just enter the colorful glass door, you Remember? That door literally shattered and nearly hurt—”

The driver was a man in his forties, with a trendy oily hair and gold crystal sunglasses, looking very western.All the way in the car was his voice, chattering about the young master.

There were two young gentlemen sitting in the back seat of the car, one of them had red lips and fair skin, Danfeng eyes slanted, and he seemed to be smiling even if he wasn't smiling.Wearing a robe of crab shell green, he is not as beautiful as a man, but even more beautiful than a woman. People who don't know him can really think he is an actor just by looking at his appearance.He heard the driver chanting in his ears, and he always had that kind of smiling expression. He just let go of his senses, and looked out the window with his chin resting on one hand.

Surprisingly good patience.

The other man has a dark complexion and a simple face.I couldn't bear to listen anymore, so I smiled and said to the driver: "Brother Zhao, take a break. If Bingci is here, he will lose his temper when he hears these words. Besides, Third Brother Jiang is tired all the way, you let him Rest."

"Hey! Yan Qiu—Master, you also know that my husband and I watched the little boy grow up, let me kiss him!" The driver Lao Zhao answered casually.The tone of speaking is nonchalant, and the attitude towards people is more or less the same.

Young Master Mei turned his head around, raised his eyebrows at Mu Yanqiu, and the corners of his mouth widened.

Mu Yanqiu smiled apologetically at him, and stopped talking to Old Zhao.Old Zhao was not so verbose at ordinary times, but for some reason today he was crazy, and the journey would take six or seven hours, which was really embarrassing for Jiang Chengyan's ears.

Jiang Chengyan shook his head slightly, brushed his forehead hair with his fingers, and sat up straight.The original lazy expression suddenly became brighter, and he took up Lao Zhao's words and said: "Then what happened later? Does the young master have a fancy for a lady from a great family?"

"Uh..." Lao Zhao was stunned for a moment, and then realized that the other party was finally interested in chatting with him, and immediately foamed, "Hi! Mr. Jiang, please tell me, my little son is a dragon and a phoenix. Learn about family background and appearance, and want to find a matching girl in this area of ​​Huizhou? Just one word: difficult! No matter how good the matchmaker's wife is, she won't be able to match her, don't you think?"

Jiang Chengyan smiled and said: "Of course it is. But according to what you said, if the young master does not leave Huizhou, he will never even think about getting married in this life. Should Marshal Mu die in a hurry?"

Old Zhao nodded fiercely: "That's not true! However, our commander-in-chief has far-sighted plans, aiming at letting the young lady marry your Second Master Jiang and become a rich wife in Shanghai. In the mountains, marry an unsightly country gentry and businessman's native daughter-in-law. Maybe you come this time, the commander should ask you to help take care of him in Shanghai, and together he should marry a young man who has drunk foreign wine like him. Where's Mo'er's foreign girl!"

Jiang Chengyan laughed: "I don't dare to take this matter. I'm so wrong, the young master has to hate me for the rest of his life. Brother Zhao, your thoughts are a little more anxious than Marshal Mu's mood as a father. "

"Isn't it? When the young master was young, my husband and I hugged him all the time, treating him like our own son! The young master was fighting with someone outside when he was fifteen or sixteen, and his back was injured. I fought alone. The machete went over and knocked down those hooligans! Since then, I have personally made a self-defense weapon for the young master, who dares to hurt him, it is really more annoying than hurting myself!"

As Lao Zhao started to show off that self-defense weapon again, Jiang Chengyan clenched his fist under the tip of his nose to cover up his smile, unable to continue speaking.The other hand patted Mu Yanqiu's knee, and the two laughed secretly.

Finally, the car drove to the big garden in front of the Mu Mansion, and the two finally escaped from Lao Zhao's saliva.Mu Yanqiu hurriedly took Jiang Chengyan out of the car.

It was noon, and Mu Chengshan was not there, so Mu Yanqiu and Jiang Chengyan had a simple meal in the kitchen with servants serving them, and put Jiang Chengyan's luggage in the upstairs guest room.

Mu Yanqiu put the suitcase against the desk, looked around the room, and said, "I'm really sorry to ask Brother Jiang to live in the guest room."

Jiang Chengyan smiled and said: "Where did you go, don't meet me like this. I haven't congratulated you yet, the old man promised you to recognize your ancestors and return to the clan. After the ceremony is over and the ancestral hall is finished, you will be the hard-hitting Mu family. The old man is so big The family business, there is a time for you to show your ambitions."

Mu Yanqiu smiled reluctantly, thinking about this dream-like life, Mu Chengshan's foresight, mother's ecstasy, everyone's unbelievable and jealous eyes, it is really not very happy to recognize the ancestors and return to the clan .

Since he was sensible, he has been the servant of Mu Bingci, the young son of Mu Shuai's family. In the past, he was only considered to be stable, good-tempered and skilled, so he was singled out to do this job that everyone admired.Never thought that it was because he was Mu Chengshan's illegitimate son, and Mu Chengshan couldn't admit it clearly and couldn't bear to discard him, so he made such a unique arrangement.

Naturally, when Mu Chengshan suddenly proposed to recognize him as his adopted son and let him enter the Mu family's ancestral hall, there must be his plans and considerations.Mu Yanqiu was worried about this matter at first, and didn't want to agree, and even wanted to find an errand outside after leaving and forget about it.However, the mother complained with snot and tears that she had never enjoyed any preferential treatment because of giving birth to him. She was also a low-level servant for 30 years. It was so easy to wait for such a day. The gate of the shogunate.

After careful consideration, Mu Yanqiu had to grit his teeth and agree.

The servants who used to work together, some were flattering, some were cold-hearted, and they all looked ugly.But the most difficult thing is to face the little son Mu Bingci, who suddenly changed from master and servant to brothers. Mu Bingci thought that he wanted to climb, and hated him to the bone.

Mu Yanqiu smiled helplessly: "The old man has his own thoughts, I would rather not have this, Bing Ci would not hate me so much now. I shouldn't agree, the days that were good before, but now they are full of smog all day long. People suffer."

Seeing that he was frustrated, Jiang Chengyan didn't answer his words, but said: "In the future, for things like moving boxes, just ask the servants to do it, and there is no need to do it yourself."

Mu Yanqiu was taken aback, then laughed and said, "I'm used to it."

Jiang Chengyan said: "You said it yourself, the old man has his considerations. Now the old man has only one young son under his knees, and the domestic situation is not peaceful now. The government is recruiting local warlords one by one. No matter how strong the Mu family is, they will inevitably take this political position. I It seems that the old man wants you to help Bingci. This young master Mu has always been spoiled and ignorant of the world, if there is a day when the pillars cannot support him, the old man definitely does not want the young master to end up being controlled by others."

Mu Yanqiu nodded: "I understand. What's the matter with the Mu family, I have to take care of it. I can't let Bingci be wronged. Brother Jiang is a transparent person, thank you for your advice."

Jiang Chengyan stopped, and didn't go any further, saying: "There is nothing to do in the afternoon, why don't you take me to the old house. Last year, I followed my second brother to welcome my relatives. I was in a hurry, and I didn't see the mountains in Huizhou. .”

Mu Yanqiu agreed straight away: "Okay. I'll drive the car myself, and I can't suffer from Lao Zhao again."

Jiang Chengyan chuckled: "Let's do it this time. In the future, no matter how serious the crime is, you will have to bear it."

The two went downstairs and drove directly to Mu's old house.The mountain road was rough and the car was not easy to drive. When we arrived at the village where the old house was located, Mu Yanqiu parked the car on the side of the road and walked into the village with Jiang Chengyan.

The village is very old, with uneven walls of horse heads, and a strong sense of ink and wash.There are singing frogs in the pond, and the pomegranate flowers are very red.

Jiang Chengyan was here to represent the Jiang family to a banquet this time, and he had nothing else to do, so he calmed down completely, feeling that the countryside is very charming.

The two entered the Mu family's old house and came out again. Mu Yanqiu introduced to him the characteristics and exquisiteness of Huizhou architecture, and also talked about the inkstone culture. The chat was very speculative.There is a tea house at the entrance of the village, and Mu Yanqiu suggested to take a rest and drink tea.

The crisp sound of horseshoes broke the tranquility of the countryside.The two heard horses galloping behind them, turned around to look, only to see the two horses galloping from the middle of the village, and stopped before Mu Yanqiu. Before Mu Yanqiu spoke, the first person had already sneered He said: "It's only been a few days since I became the young master of the Mu family, and you've started to raise an actor like a man? Mu Yanqiu, I didn't expect you to be just a human-faced beast."

When Jiang Chengyan heard that he was an actor, the smile on his face deepened, Danfeng glanced at the man on the horse, and saw a pair of almond eyes that were brighter than Han Xing.

He recognized it at a glance, it was the young son of Mu Shuai's mansion, Mu Bingci.Mu Yang followed behind him.

Mu Yanqiu was so embarrassed, he went up and grabbed the horse's head and chewed the bridle, and said in a good voice: "Don't be rude. Look carefully where the actor came from. This is the third master of your brother-in-law's family, Jiang Chengyan."

Mu Bingci took a condescending glance at Jiang Chengyan, and said indifferently, "Who am I? It's not that an actor looks like an actor, so it's no wonder others misunderstand." He pulled the bridle with his backhand, frowned, and said, "Let go. It's up to you to say good and bad."

Mu Yanqiu let go of his hand, Mu Bingci took two steps back with his men and horses, looked back at the direction of the Mu family's old house, and sneered, "What's the matter? I can't wait to meet the ancestors of the Mu family, and I want to get acquainted with him." , bless tomorrow's recognition of ancestors smoothly, don't make any trouble?"

Mu Yanqiu was helpless: "Bing Ci—"

But Mu Bingci turned around and kicked the entourage behind him, saying: "Mu Yang, you can imitate his white-eyed wolf, maybe one day my father will be happy to see you, and he will recognize you as his son."

After finishing speaking, he whipped the horse and galloped away from Mu Yanqiu and Jiang Chengyan, and threw a low shout from a distance: "Hurry up and keep up!"

Mu Yang half-bowed to Mu Yanqiu, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "I'm sorry, young master. Let's go first!" He also hurriedly ran towards Mu Bingci.

Mu Yanqiu looked at the dusty road outside the village, and looked at Jiang Chengyan in embarrassment, but saw that the other party smiled so much that the facial features on his face were changed, and he was as bright as a woman.Jiang Chengyan smiled sympathetically and said, "I know your difficulties, this little ancestor is your nemesis!"

Mu Yanqiu was also amused by him: "Also, Bing called you an actor, how good is it?"

Jiang Chengyan nodded understandingly: "Well, he's not the first to say that." From childhood to adulthood, there are many people who have seen him as soft and beautiful and want to mess with his brain. Most of these people have broken hand joints, and a few are not afraid. Broken a few ribs.

To be honest, he didn't mind people saying that at all.Especially a little baby like Mu Bingci.
