Respectfully

"Monk?" Marshal Lou raised his head in surprise, "It's just a lucky thing to confuse the public, and he doesn't even have an official position. What effect can it have?"

"Father, Rasputin is not an ordinary monk. He has won the trust of the Tsar's family. Especially Empress Alexandra, this Hessian woman is arrogant and likes to play tricks. She has a deep influence on the Tsar. I am in Germany When I was studying in the military academy, I also heard rumors about the Russian court. It is said that the tsar’s queen has a very unusual relationship with this Rasputin, and she almost obeyed him.”

"That's it." Marshal Lou hesitated for a moment, "But this is a national event after all."

"You can always try."

Marshal Lou leaned on the back of the chair, pondered for a while, and finally nodded and said: "Okay, I will arrange someone to do it."

"Yes."

"Also," Marshal Lou changed his tone, "Lao Maozi has increased his troops at the border again, we have to be prepared, we can't wait to be beaten with stretched necks. Qian Boxi's first division will be dispatched in three days, you Go back and get ready, the Independence Regiment will go to the border with the First Division."

"As ordered!"

"The independent group didn't have to go with them originally, it was my order."

Lou Xiao straightened his back and stood up straight, like a bloodthirsty saber out of its sheath: "It is the duty of soldiers to protect the land and borders!"

"Okay!" Lou Dashuai slapped the table and stood up suddenly, "I told that old boy Qian Boxi that my Lou Shengfeng's son is not a coward!"

"Yes!"

Marshal Lou sat back on the chair, his expression softened, and he continued, "Xiao'er, the family business I have laid down will be yours in the future. I will not follow the example of Emperor Han Jing and kill Zhou Yafu to pave the way for his son. Our building You can't learn from the literati, whether you are conservative or go a step further, you have to use your own ability to convince these old brothers under me!"

"A son will never live up to his father's expectations!"

"it is good!"

Marshal Lou stroked his bald head: "There is one more thing. On the battlefield, swords have no eyes, and you have to keep a back hand. Your wife can't give birth. Your sixth aunt and I mentioned her niece, what do you think..."

"Father!" Lou Xiao interrupted Marshal Lou, "I will never take a concubine in this life."

"What did you say?" Lou Dashuai glared, "Don't take concubines, you want the Lou family to become extinct?!"

"You can live."

"You, you..." Marshal Lou became furious, his liver ached from anger, he grabbed the ashtray on the table, and threw it at Young Marshal Lou. Young Marshal Lou didn't move, the ashtray rubbed against his shoulder It fell to the ground with a blunt sound.

"Father, there is nothing else, I will go down first."

Lou Xiao paid a military salute, turned around and left.

Lou Da was so handsome that he yelled, "Get out! Get out!"

Marshal Lou opened the door and got out.

When the door was closed, the angry look on Lou Dashuai's face disappeared without a trace. He sat back on the chair and cursed: "Damn it, this bastard, who is he with?"

Outside the study, Young Marshal Lou happened to meet Mrs. Lou who came to see Marshal Lou.Mrs. Lou stretched out her hand and patted Young Marshal Lou on the shoulder, looking at the soot on her finger: "Are you making your father angry again?"

"Mother, in three days, I will set off with the army."

"Oh, I know about this." In the early years, Marshal Lou went out to fight every three days, and he was at home for a few days all year round. Mrs. Lou was used to it.Since the son was born in Lou's family, it is impossible not to go to the battlefield and lead soldiers to fight, otherwise, no one will obey him, "What else?"

"A concubine." Lou Xiao looked at Mrs. Lou: "I refuse."

"Who do you want? The niece of the sixth child?"

Marshal Lou nodded, and Mrs. Lou's mouth curled into a sarcasm: "You don't care about this matter, mother will take care of it for you. If you don't want it, don't want it. No one can force my son!"

When Lou Xiao turned to leave, Mrs. Lou did not go directly into the study, but turned to the girl and said, "Go and tell the second housekeeper, doesn't that niece of the sixth concubine like to serve others? It just so happens that the girl on the third concubine's side met not long ago." , send her there."

"Yes."

"Tomorrow will be New Year's Day, so I will send people away tonight to avoid bad luck."

"Yes, ma'am."

A casual word decided Xigui's fate for the rest of his life. Mrs. Lou smiled lightly. It seemed that she was too lenient with others.Although the third concubine was flamboyant back then, she still had a strong stomach and had three daughters, which is considered a contribution to the Lou family. The sixth concubine, what does she have?The elder brother of the director of the Finance Bureau?

A trace of contempt flashed in Mrs. Lou's eyes, but it soon disappeared.

When Mr. Lou heard the knock on the door, he answered, raised his head, saw Mrs. Lou, and asked, "Ma'am, why are you here?"

"Marshal, I have something to tell you." Mrs. Lou glanced at the ashtray on the floor, Marshal Lou gave a sly smile, but Mrs. Lou didn't pursue it, "What are you going to do about my brother-in-law? "

"Zhan Changqing?" Marshal Lou's expression darkened: "This matter is not very easy to handle. After all, he is still the Minister of Transportation appointed by the President himself. If he wants to hang his seal, he will..."

"Marshal, we can't ignore my sister and brother-in-law's begging. In the final analysis, we still feel sorry for my brother-in-law."

Mrs. Lou's tone was a little sad, and Marshal Lou stopped talking.

Although they are not married, Mrs. Lou and Mrs. Zhan are sisters after all, and they are still relatives.Mrs. Lou knew that Mrs. Zhan had always been brooding over the death of her eldest daughter.Miss Zhan's death was too strange, she seldom went to the lake, and the two girls beside her were all good at swimming, even if it was too late to save someone, they would always do it, right?But when asked afterwards, not only did no one hear the call for help, but it happened that all three of them drowned.Minister Zhan has been investigating overtly and secretly for the past two years, and finally got some clues a few days ago, but the finger is directed at Xing Changgeng, the deputy captain of the guard of the Presidential Palace!

Miss Ruozhan's death is related to Vice Captain Xing, President, do you know?

The Zhan family had no grievances with Vice Captain Xing, so how could he attack his daughter?If it's not personal enmity, what is it for?

After thinking about it, there is only one possibility, their marriage with the Lou family!

Mrs. Lou and Mrs. Zhan are biological sisters. If they become relatives of their children, they will become more intimate, and the relationship between the two families will be closer.The Lou family with the army, the Zhan family with pens, plus Mrs. Lou and Mrs. Zhan's natal family, these three families together, in the north, they really stamped their feet and the ground trembled three times.

Thinking of a certain possibility, Minister Zhan and Mrs. Zhan were terrified, and quickly stopped, not daring to investigate further, but it was too late.Minister Zhan's work is getting more and more unsatisfactory, and the people under him are unwilling to listen to orders. Two months ago, a deputy minister was airborne. It is said that he is a close friend of the president.

Surrounding the Zhan family's mansion, there are often some new faces.Now, everything is understood.

Minister Zhan discussed with Mrs. Zhan, and he didn't dare to hesitate any longer. He used Lou's family to organize a wedding and went directly to Mrs. Shanglou.Mrs. Lou was also surprised when she found out. Two years ago, Marshal Lou and the President had a good relationship. Why did the President do such a trick?

Could it be that the president has been in charge of the defense building from the very beginning?How deep is this person's mind?

Mrs. Lou shuddered when she thought about it.

"Marshal, after all, my sister and brother-in-law came to the door, and my elder brother also sent me a telegram, not looking at the monk's face to see the Buddha's face. This matter is caused by our family. If you can help, please help."

Mrs. Lou stopped talking until this point, and Marshal Lou sighed: "Forget it, Ma'am, you go and tell your brother-in-law that there is still a vacancy for a bureau chief in the military government. If he is willing to give in, I, Lou Shengfeng, will give in." Walk backwards, "

"The traffic bureau?" Mrs. Lou frowned, "Director Meng of the traffic bureau is an old man next to the commander."

Marshal Lou also had some troubles. All the officials in the military government, not to mention, had been with him through life and death, at worst they had been friends with him for a few years.

After thinking about it for a while, Marshal Lou finally made a decision: "Just the Finance Bureau."

Du Lianshan, the director of the Finance Bureau, is the brother of the sixth concubine Du Lianrong, and he has good abilities, but he is nothing compared to Zhan Changqing.Mrs. Lou opened her mouth. Marshal Lou had to give Mrs. face. Besides, compared to Mrs., the aunt's brother is not a serious relative.

"Master, is this okay?"

"Is it good or not?" Marshal Lou didn't care: "Just wait and arrange for him. He has earned a lot in this position for more than a year, which is enough for him. The Lou family didn't treat him badly. "

Mrs. Lou nodded: "Then I'll go and talk to my sister and brother-in-law."

"kindness."

Mrs. Lou left the study room with a brighter smile on her face. As soon as she went downstairs, she saw the sixth concubine rushing over, followed by Xi Gui who was wiping tears, and the second housekeeper who looked embarrassed.Aunt Six was so anxious that there was still a hint of anger. Madam Lou raised her eyebrows, and Aunt Six had already asked, "Ma'am, what did Xigui do wrong? You want to send her to such a place?" !"

"Oh?" Mrs. Lou walked to the sofa and sat down, and immediately a girl offered hot tea, "Tell me, where should I take her?"

"Such a madman..."

"Lianrong," Mrs. Lou's face darkened, "Cuihua came in earlier than you, and gave birth to three daughters for the commander. According to the rules, you have to call her sister."

"Ma'am, I..." Seeing Mrs. Lou's expression was wrong, Aunt Six suddenly realized what she had done?Why is it that after Xigui cried a few words, he came to make trouble with his wife regardless?Suddenly, cold sweat broke out on the forehead.

Mrs. Lou stopped looking at her, but said to the second housekeeper: "Uncle De, how many years have you been in Lou's house? Why are you still so useless in doing things? And you," Mrs. Lou turned to the two who followed Aunt Six. A girl: "Don't stop your concubine, what is this place? Upstairs is the handsome's study! If you meet outsiders, the Lou family will lose face!"

The two maids kept silent, and the second housekeeper also felt disgraced, and looked at Sixth Aunt and Xi Gui with resentment.

"Okay, I don't blame you for today's incident, I just think you love my niece." Mrs. Lou smiled gently: "I can also understand your heart. It just so happens that Cuihua has lived alone for so many years, and there is always something wrong with her." Lonely, you might as well go and accompany her. You can also take care of your niece nearby, everyone is cheap."

Sixth Aunt's eyes widened in disbelief. Is Madam going to lock her up too? !

"Ma'am, I was wrong! I was really wrong!" Aunt Six immediately knelt down for Mrs. Lou and raised her voice, hoping that Mr. Lou in the study could hear her. Crazy together.

But Aunt Six was so disappointed, Marshal Lou didn't show up from the beginning to the end.

Mrs. Lou looked at the distraught Sixth Aunt, and smiled softly: "I told Cuihua before, and now I will tell you again. If this person wants to die, no one can stop him." Yes. Lianrong, take your niece and think about it carefully, maybe, one day you will come back if you think it through."

Xigui was already scared out of her wits, and when she was dragged down, her body was already limp into a ball.

Mrs. Lou raised her head and glanced at the door of the study room. She had long understood and understood Lou Shengfeng.Fortunately, fortunately, the son is not like him.

However, no concubine... Mrs. Lou covered her belly with one hand and lowered her eyes.

Lou Xiao told Li Jinyan about the departure in two days. Li Jinyan was a little surprised, but he also felt a surge of heat in his chest. Are you really going to fight the old man?

All Chinese feel humiliated and indignant when they read modern Chinese history.

In this chaotic era, Li Jinyan has already made up his mind to do his part.When things came to an end, he found that there was extremely limited what he could do.Thinking in his heart, if he can't go to the battlefield, at least he can help a little, right?It was terribly cold in Manzhouli, and there was a backlog of homemade cloth and cotton in his cloth shop, which could be used to make knee pads, waistcoats, and gloves. He should have time to find more people... As for losing money or something, he would be happy. !When the soap factory starts operation and sulfonamide is developed, there is no need to worry about money.

Lou Xiao saw Li Jinyan lowered his head, and pressed the top of his head with one hand: "I will come back, I promise."

Li Jinyan raised his head in surprise, looked at Lou Xiao, and moved his lips. If he said that this was not the reason for his depression, would Young Master Lou draw his gun and shoot him with bullets?

Imagine the serious consequences, Li Sanshao is still a gentleman who knows current affairs, and he acquiesced.

Thinking that Lou Xiao would leave in three days, Li Jinyan asked, "Young Marshal, what happened to the job I asked you to find?"

"There are clues." Lou Xiao let go of Li Jinyan, "Tomorrow, they will come to see you."

"Tomorrow?" Li Jinyan nodded.
