Republic of China

In the future, I hope you can stay. Although the old man is under attack, we still defeated Guo Songling. The Northeast will be more stable in the future, and our Shen family can take root here and thrive. "He is a supporter of the old marshal, but he is also very respectful to the young marshal, because when the old marshal gets older, he will naturally give way to the young marshal, but now the young marshal is still young and can't monopolize the overall situation. He always told his confidants to assist and lead the young commander.

He, Shen Muhan, is usually very humble, low-key, and doesn't take credit for things, so he can keep his head in peace, but because of this, he is repeatedly plotted by others, and he is kicked for everything dangerous. His son also joined in, and he really began to doubt his original choice. Maybe he should have gone into business with his father-in-law long ago, what kind of wars should he fight, what kind of army should he join?But the matter has come to this point, he can't get off the tiger, even if he wants to sue his old man and return to his hometown, the old man will not agree, not to mention what he has spent half his life as a soldier, isn't it just to get out early?Giving up halfway is against his principles of life.

Shen Yuezhi smiled bitterly, and then faced his father and said: "In your eyes, you don't look down on anyone at all. Let's not take our Liyuan branch as an example. You think that no matter whether you are a businessman, a literati, or a doctor, you can't compare to a soldier. , having a gun in your hand is the most remarkable thing, no one dares to mess with it!"

Shen Muhan breathed a sigh of relief: "Of course, even if you go to Beijing, they will not dare to provoke you because you are my son, and you will benefit from it, too?" It seems that it is difficult for Yuezhi to agree with him If it doesn't work, he will force his son. Now he has nothing to do.

Although he has a few confidantes, in this troubled world, people are still close to each other. Guo Songling's incident not only taught the old man a lesson, but also sounded the alarm for him, so he had to get Yuezhi to his side.Of course, if his son refuses to agree, he won't force it, but at least Yuezhi's marriage should be done so that the Shen family can embrace their grandson earlier.

"You're right. I did reveal your name to others. I admit it." After he finished speaking, he picked up the tea bowl and took a sip of tea. He was emotional just now, and now he must calm down. Talking to your father unreasonably is really unfilial.

Shen Muhan felt that if he continued to talk like this, he would quarrel with his son again, and maybe he would fight uncontrollably. He couldn't do this anymore, he had to learn restraint, so he put down the tea bowl and said calmly: "Think about it." Okay, but the blind date can't be delayed any longer, you are already 25 years old, you should have started a family long ago, no matter how you come back this time, you will marry your daughter-in-law."

"Oh, I see." Although Shen Yuezhi was reluctant in his heart, he had no choice but to agree. For this crisis, the last thing he could not shirk was the responsibility of getting married and having children. yes.

Seeing his younger son Yuezhi walk out of the study door, Shen Muhan was relieved. It seemed that his son had agreed to get married. As for joining the army, let's discuss it later. After all, Beijing opera is what Yuezhi likes. , although he looks down on the Liyuan business, he should respect his son's choice, not to mention that he is also a movie fan, otherwise it would be impossible to know Xian'e.

Many discomforts when first arriving in Guangzhou

After bumping on the road for several days, Tong Fulai, his mother, and Zhao Yaochen came to the bustling and prosperous Guangzhou.

Fulai feels that the air here is very humid. Although it is the end of January, it is like spring and autumn in Beiping. I can't get used to it, I can't understand it at all.

Moreover, Guangzhou gave him the impression that it is fashionable and western. Many young men on the street wear suits, which are probably their casual clothes, but sometimes they find that they are not wearing western leather shoes, but Chinese cloth shoes. There are quite a few people wearing suits, but Chinese-style sausage pants. This kind of non-Chinese dress looks a bit nondescript.Although the temperature in Guangzhou is not low, young people like to wear scarves. Scarves of various colors fill the streets and alleys, reminding Fulai that he has come to Guangzhou, a big city in the south of the country, all the time.

The temporary residence that Zhao Yaochen arranged for them was in an apartment near Shamian Island. Most of the people living here were foreigners, and there were very few Chinese people around.Shamian Island is surrounded by water on all sides, with green trees and elegant environment, which is very suitable for Mrs. Tong to cultivate.

This apartment is Western-style, and it happens to have three independent rooms, and there is also a bathroom that foreigners are most used to, instead of a bucket, a spittoon, and a white ceramic toilet, but it cannot be flushed automatically. Fetching water for washing, the bathroom even has a bathtub for bathing, of course, the water still needs to be boiled by oneself, and the apartment is cleaned twice a day by the old lady, so there is no need to bother Tong Chunyan to do it.

However, Tong Fulai was treated like an emperor in such an environment, but he only had a short rest for three days. The next day, Zhao Yaochen took Fulai to the streets, and went to a department store and a clothing store on Jixiang Road. , Mr. Tong specifically told Fulai to buy some new clothes, so that his son had to change from a coachman to a respectable second young master of the Tong family.

From the beginning to the end, Zhao Yaochen played the role of a follower, rushing to carry things, but he was the one who made the decision, because Fulai didn't seem to have enough aesthetics, and the clothes he picked were all rustic like a poor man in the market. It's no wonder the second young master , people have never even been to school, how can there be aesthetic awareness?

In the western clothing store, he changed into a gray woolen suit, matched it with a light yellow tie, and wore a Swiss silver watch on his wrist. Fulai, who was wearing black leather shoes on his feet, looked like another person. There is a fragrant pomade on her hair, but Fulai, who has never used pomade, finds it particularly awkward. She always wants to scratch her hair, but she is afraid of ruining her new hairstyle.

He stood in front of the mirror, pulled his tie, and frowned in embarrassment. He always felt that this kind of clothes were not suitable for him, but Mr. Zhao said that sometimes it is necessary to go to some special parties. A person must pay attention to his appearance, even if he is 1 unhappy, he must learn to adapt.

"That's right, there must be many daughters in Guangzhou who are willing to marry you." Zhao Yaochen looked at the man in front of him and smiled. Mr. Tong was a handsome man when he was young, and Young Master Rong Fei was also handsome and handsome. Although the second young master has experienced many years of difficult life, but he is the flesh and blood of Tong's family after all, his facial features are more delicate and delicate than the young master's, especially those almond eyes like a girl, it is difficult to distinguish from the pupils of the other party's eyes if you look carefully. In the middle, the first impression of the second young master is not very outstanding, but as long as you look closely, you will find that he is beautiful and unforgettable.

Fulai smiled "hehe", turned his face and said: "How is it possible, Miss Qianjin likes to stay abroad. I haven't even studied in school for a rich young master with knowledge. I don't deserve them."

"You can't say that. Many accomplished people have never studied. What's more, Mr. Tong asked me to help you study culture. We have half a year." He looked at his watch after he finished speaking, and it was almost time It's time to go back. The old lady is waiting for them to eat. Mr. Tong will come to take the second young master to Tong's house tomorrow morning to meet his wife, the eldest young master and the second young lady.But he is also worried about Fulai, because the second young lady and the eldest young master are very scheming people, and the second young master may be squeezed out by them if he is simple and honest, so Mr. Tong specially told him to give advice to the second young master behind him. Keep informed.

Hearing what he said, Fulai was suddenly full of confidence in the future. Maybe it would be good to follow his father's arrangement. If he has a culture, he can earn a living even if he doesn't pull a cart. He must work hard and learn more useful things. Knowledge.

"Brother Zhao, it's almost time for us to go back. My mother said that she made lotus root pork ribs soup and barbecued pork tonight. She said she would reward you. Thank you for your care these days." Tong Fulai was already hungry. Being so good will surely whet Zhao's appetite. When he was in Beijing, Boss Shen was full of praise for her cooking skills, and said that her mother definitely has the level of a restaurant chef.

"Okay, let's go." After saying that, Yaochen walked out of the dress shop with two big bags of clothes and Fulai, and came to the bustling and lively Jixiang Road.

There is a lot of traffic and people here. Different from Beiping, Guangzhou has more foreigners, even foreigners. In addition to Cantonese, you can also hear the familiar northern accent and various accents from other provinces. People in Guangzhou are more lively and lively than the traditional or even somewhat closed-off Beijingers, both in expression and mental state. People are more willing to enjoy life and take time out for entertainment and relaxation, rather than caring too much about political affairs.

On the street, Tong Fulai found that everyone around him seemed to be looking at him. Could it be that there was something on his face?There are many young women looking at him, some bold and cheerful smile at him affectionately.

Zhao Yaochen hailed a foreign car, took the second young master into the car, and then said with a smile: "A man depends on his clothes and a horse depends on his saddle. As long as you change your outfit, you will become a classy person, and the way people look at you will change. Young master, you have to adapt to the new life and learn to be a person of status, which is what you deserve." These few days of getting along let him know Fulai and Mrs. Tong better. It's time for them to enjoy the hard times. In fact, he still blamed Chief of Staff Tong for this matter, but 20 years ago, Mr. Tong was just
