Respectfully

Mrs. Li's funeral was very grand, but there was not much sadness. The whole funeral was more like a formality.

When everyone in the Li family wore sackcloth and filial piety, when the filial sons and virtuous grandchildren were crying, Li Jinyan was placed behind Li Qingyun and Li Jinming. Li Jinyan didn't have much contact with this second elder brother who was always in poor health. Looking at it now, although he is thin, his facial features are He could be called handsome, but his pale face and purple lips made him look weak and sick.

Li Jinyan vaguely remembered that the purple lips seemed to be a sign of a bad heart.If it's really a heart problem, it's no wonder that Li Jinming has seen both Chinese and Western medicine over the years, but still hasn't improved much.

The Li family used to be one of the most wealthy merchants in the North, but now, although it has declined, there are still many people who come to express their condolences due to the relationship with the Lou family.But rather than saying that they sincerely came to pay homage to the deceased, it would be better to take the opportunity to form a good relationship with Li Jinyan.

Li Jinming's health was really bad, and after kneeling on the ground for less than half a cup of tea, he couldn't hold on anymore.

"Third Uncle, let Second Brother go down and rest." Li Jinyan helped to support Li Jinming's body, and he didn't know if he didn't touch Li Jinming's hand.

"Jinyan, go down with Jinming, I'm here." Master Li San wiped the corner of his eyes with his sleeve, Li Jinyan subconsciously sniffled, ginger?He said why Master Li San was crying so sadly, with tears streaming down his face...

"Third brother, I'm in trouble."

Li Jinming leaned on Li Jinyan's shoulder, and the girl came up to help him, but he waved her away, "I have long wanted to talk to you alone."

"What do you want to tell me, brother?"

"Jin Shu," Li Jinming was supported by Li Jinyan into the back hall, and he breathed a sigh of relief while sitting on the armchair, "Jin Shu was spoiled by his parents, did he almost cause trouble for you a few days ago?"

"No, she's still young, what trouble can she cause?"

"It's not young anymore. It's seventeen years old, and it's time to be sensible." Li Jinming said a few words, and was about to stop for a while. Li Jinyan poured him a cup of tea, and he got better after drinking it. "I'm not feeling well. Okay, I can't help you. Jin Shu's temperament is like this, as long as you don't cause trouble. The old lady may tell you about Jin Hua, but Dad has already made a match for her. If the old lady mentions it, you can push it away. Push it."

At this point, Li Jinming stopped, and Li Jinyan didn't answer. He was a little confused about Li Jinming's intention in saying this to him, to suppress the concubine?Or are you worried that he will have a quarrel with the third master?No matter what Li Jinming's purpose is, Li Jinyan doesn't want to get involved in the Li family's affairs from the bottom of his heart.What's more, he shouldn't have interfered with his cousin's marriage, a brocade letter was enough for him to cause headaches.

After the funeral, the people who came to the funeral left one after another. The old lady was getting old, and the cold wind was blowing in the mourning hall. Her head hurt and her complexion was not very good.Li Jinyan specially asked the doctor to show it to the old lady, and he was relieved when he saw that there was no serious problem.

The second wife also came, but she stayed in the back hall halfway through. As a widow, she is not suitable to show up in front of people.

When Li Jinyan came out of the old lady's room, he happened to see the second wife and the third wife talking in the main room. Li Jinshu and Li Jinhua were beside the third lady. The two little girls were all in white dresses, sitting quietly.

"Mother, third aunt." Li Jinyan walked to the second wife, "It's starting to snow outside, mother, let's leave early."

"It's true, after a busy day, you should let your third aunt rest." The second lady stood up, "Qinghe, Jinyan and I will leave first, and if there is anything to do in the future, send someone to find me."

"Sister-in-law, don't worry, what can happen. I sincerely say that the weather is cold and the road is slippery, so let the driver drive carefully."

"I know, Third Aunt."

Li Jinyan helped the second wife out of the room. The third wife and sister Li Jinshu stopped at the door of the backyard. Li Jinhua bid farewell to Li Jinyan obediently. Li Jinshu seemed to have something to say, but the third lady pinched his arm and bit him. lips, and bowed his head.

The snow was getting heavier and heavier. On the way to send the second wife home, it happened to catch up with the patrol battalion in the city to change defense. The car stopped for a while on the side of the road before continuing on the road.

Li Jinyan suddenly remembered something, and couldn't help but tapped his head: "Mom, I forgot to tell you before, this year I want to take you to Lou's house for the New Year."

"Nonsense." The second lady patted Li Jinyan, "Dragon Boat Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival are all right, there is no reason for me to go to Lou's house to celebrate the New Year. Did you think of this? Don't use your brain."

"No, it was mentioned by the handsome lady, and I don't want to leave you alone for the New Year."

"Mother knows that you are filial, but things don't make sense. Even if the handsome wife mentioned it, you shouldn't agree." Mrs. Lou took Li Jinyan's hand, "Mother is doing well now, so don't think too much about it. As long as you're doing well, you're better than anything."

What else did Li Jinyan want to say, but the car had already stopped, and the driver in the front seat said, "Ma'am, Master Yan, we're here."

"Don't mention this matter again." The second lady brushed the hair next to Li Jinyan's ear, "One year older, you have to be more prudent in handling things, you know?"

"But, mother..."

"Okay, don't get out of the car, it's snowing heavily outside."

The girl in the bungalow heard the car horn and came out with an umbrella. Li Jinyan looked at the second lady standing under the umbrella, smiling and waving at him. For some reason, her nose felt a little sour.

"Master Yan?"

"It's okay, let's drive."

The car drove away, and the second wife put away the smile on her face. If Jin Yan hadn't entered the Lou's house, why did the two of them end up here.

"Madam, it's snowing heavily outside, let's go inside."

"Okay, let's go into the house." The second lady gathered the cloak on her body and sighed, the matter has come to an end, it's useless to think about it, it's just to embarrass the child.It's better to think about it, life always has to go on.

Back at Lou's house, Li Jinyan went back to his room to change his clothes before going to see Mr. Lou and Mrs. Lou.

Lou Dashuai sat on the sofa and read the newspaper. The new issue of "Celebrity" is an exclusive interview with Mr. Meng Lao, Director of the Transportation Bureau of the Six Northern Provinces.Mrs. Lou was sitting on the side drinking tea, and the Second Young Master Lou was not there, so she must have been taken away by the wet nurse for "dinner".

"Great handsome, mother."

"Are you tired?" Mrs. Lou pulled Li Jinyan to sit next to her, "I've lost weight these days, so you can't eat well without my eyes?"

"No, absolutely not." Li Jinyan shook his head hastily, he didn't want to be drugged by Mrs. Lou again.

"Don't fool me."

"How can that be?" Li Jinyan said with a smile: "Speaking of which, I want to interview Director Zhan in the next celebrity interview. I don't know when Director Zhan will be free. Can you help me ask my aunt?"

"Oh, she told me about this two days ago." Mrs. Lou turned to Marshal Lou and said, "Marshal Lou, you don't know, my brother-in-law reads at home, saying that he is a well-educated man who studied abroad after all. After coming back, he successively served in the northern government and the military government of the six northern provinces. Although he is not as outstanding as the commander-in-chief, he can be regarded as a person, right? Why can’t you visit him? You don’t know When my sister talked to me, she laughed while talking, which made me laugh or not."

"Is Changqing really like this?"

"Can I still lie to the handsome?"

"Hey!" Lou Dashuai laughed twice, and said to Li Jinyan: "Jinyan, your newspaper is doing well, you don't know, your father and I are going out now... Even if I was a long-haired I have never been so majestic before! The old brothers under me are also staring at your newspaper, waiting for some time to be majestic."

"Don't worry, Marshal, I will keep this in mind." Li Jinyan thought about it in his heart. If he gave an exclusive interview to all these old army ruffians in the six northern provinces, it would probably take more than half a year. "The layout must be added.

Speaking of which, no matter whether it was Li Jinyan or the people in the newspaper office, it was Young Marshal Lou who wanted to do an exclusive interview the most, but it was a pity that Young Marshal Lou was always missing during this period of time.I seldom even go home and stay in the military camp all the time. The reason is because of the "military exercise".

According to the information brought back by Adjutant Ji, the military exercise is scheduled for the fifth day of the first lunar month, and the location is still a mystery.However, judging from the [-]rd Division, which was fully armed and headed to Lianshan Pass, it is really hard to say whether this is a military exercise or an actual combat.

At least for the Japanese in Dalian, the situation in front of them is really bad!If the 60rd Division and the No.[-] [-]st Division, which was originally at Lianshan Pass, attacked Fengcheng without declaring a war in the name of a military exercise, the Japanese troops stationed there would definitely not be able to stop the attack of the two divisions!Fengcheng was captured, and it was difficult for Anton to keep it.Even if the warship can be transferred, but the warship cannot land, it is impossible to stay there all the time.

"Bastard!" Yoshimasa Oshima, the governor of the Kanto Governor's Mansion, smashed the report sent by Minister of Intelligence Kawashita on his face, "This is all you can find?! Trash!"

"Yes! This subordinate is incompetent!" Hexia's forehead was cut half a finger long, and blood dripped down his cheek, but he didn't reach out to wipe it. Clearing up, it is difficult for the subordinates to obtain more accurate information, and the number of the army that was transferred this time was learned by accident."

"Oh?"

"It's a man named Pan Guangxing. He followed Lou Shengfeng in the early years, and later had a personal grievance with Lou Shengfeng because of some things, and he has a lot of complaints about Lou Shengfeng."

"Pan Guangxing?" Yoshima Oshima said gloomyly: "Find a way to find out everything about this person! If it works, you know what to do!"

"Yes!"

After Baikal

It snowed heavily for another night, and Meng Erhu exhausted all his efforts to push the wooden door half a person's width open, and when he went out, the snow was up to his knees, and even though he was wearing a thick leather jacket, the cold wind blew, Still shivering.

"Chang Danian, get up and go to work!"

Meng Erhu yelled in one voice, did not wake up Chang Danian, but called Xu Erjie.Wearing a thick cotton coat, she still couldn't hide her curvy figure. The second sister Xu leaned against the window and waved to Meng Erhu, "Erhu, where are you going? How many of the steamed buns I made here before you leave?"

"Second Sister, this woke you up." Meng Erhu couldn't help but take a step back. For more than half a year, this group of people living in Transbaikal, no matter whether they were thieves or habitual bandits before, and they don't care if they have No matter how many lives were lost, Second Sister Xu couldn't help feeling terrified.

This woman is so ruthless that even ten men can't match her.

"Look at how cowardly you are." Second Sister Xu leaned on the window sill, jumped out of the room, and patted the snowflakes that fell on her body, "Chang Danian drank too much last night, today I will go with you."

"Second sister..."

"how?"

"No." Second Sister Xu winked, and Meng Erhu quickly shook his head, "I'll just pull the sledge."

"Wait." Second Sister Xu called Meng Erhu to stop, "I heard from two old men the day before yesterday that it seems that a big man has come to the border."

"You mean?"

Second Sister Xu chuckled, "How about it, Erhu, do you dare to be the big one?"

At the same time, on a whim, the Commander-in-Chief of the Russian East Siberian Frontier Army Mikhailov accompanied his mistress to the forest. He never expected that he would be targeted by a group of desperadoes entrenched in Transbaikal...
