Chen Qimei laughed and said, "Child, do you know who I am? ”

Xiao Chen Zikun said proudly: "I don't know." ”

"I am Chen Yingshi, the revolutionary parties in Jiangsu and Zhejiang are under my control, and in the future to overthrow the Manchu Dynasty, am I the governor of Shanghai, do you understand?" Chen Qimei quite smug introduced, in fact, it was similar, two years later in the Shanghai Uprising, Chen Qimei mixed into the position of the governor of the Shanghai army, during the second revolution, he was the commander-in-chief of the Shanghai Yuan army, throughout the Xinhai Revolution, he was the leader of Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

"That can't be my dad either." Chan did not flinch.

"Who is your dad and what does your dad do? Am I good? Chen Qimei deliberately teased him.

"My dad is the best carpenter in San Francisco, better than you." Xiao Chen Zikun was-for-tat, and he didn't fall behind in language, which made others laugh more than once, how can a carpenter be compared with Chen Yingshi.

Suddenly, Chen Qimei suppressed her smile and said, "Child, you are wrong, Ling Zun is not a carpenter, he is a big hero." ”

Liu Yanzhi next to him listened interestingly, could it be that the revolutionary party knew his origin?

Chen Qimei said: "Lingzun Liu Yanzhi is the imperial guard next to the first emperor, during the Gengzi Rebellion, he protected the first emperor to hunt in the west, cut foreign soldiers, boxers and bandits, on martial arts, not to mention the first in the world, but also ranked high, and later because of his military merits by the Empress Dowager of the West, he was invited to buy, and he was released as a commander, but Lingzun witnessed many injustices, was disheartened, and did not want to serve the Qing court anymore, so he went overseas, lived in seclusion in San Francisco, and became a carpenter. ”

Everyone was dumbfounded when they heard this, they thought that this child was just an orphan who was casually found by the Restoration Society, but they didn't expect it to have a big background.

Chen Qimei sighed and said: "It's a pity that the San Francisco fire, your parents died in the fire, otherwise it would be a big boost to the revolution, after the Jianhu Woman heard the bad news, she made you a member of the bronze plan, but unfortunately Qiu Jin died early, otherwise this jade pendant should be handed over to you by him personally." ”

Xiao Chen Zikun heard others praise his father, he raised his head proudly, and Liu Yanzhi on the side also showed a slight smile, it turned out that everything was destined, and the moment he met Lin Su, his fate had already been arranged.

Chen Qimei said: "I have always admired heroes and knights, Ling Zun's tablet is still in my house, if you don't believe it, I will take you to see." After saying that he would pull Chen Zikun and leave, Tao Chengzhang and others also followed, went out and got into a four-wheeled carriage, and went straight to Chen Qimei's mansion.

The back hall of Chen's mansion really has many tablets, including Qiu Jin and Xu Xilin, martyrs, and Liu Yanzhi, little Chen Zikun has a good impression of Chen Qimei and no longer resists, but he still asks his most trusted uncle Chen Yongren with his eyes.

Liu Yanzhi nodded, saying that he could recognize this godfather and not be ashamed.

So Xiao Chen Zikun worshiped Chen Qimei as his father-in-law on the spot, and this surname Chen also has another big origin.

After worshipping her father-in-law, Chen Qimei happily couldn't do it, and said that she would find a big backer for the child.

"Sun Wen and they are mixed with Hongmen, we rely on the brothers of the Qing Gang, the seniority is too low, it is better to worship Li Zhengwu as an old man, he is a big character, you will be a Tongzi generation in the future, what do you think?"

Everyone applauded, the Qing Gang in Jiangsu and Zhejiang is very powerful, Shanghai is the base camp of the Qing Gang, the level of the big characters itself is very high, plus Chen Zikun is young, more advantageous, with Chen Qimei's fame, Li Zhengwu can't refuse at all, after handing over the post, the two sides agreed on a time, in the Li Mansion Xiangtang, officially worship the old man, Xiao Chen Zikun is a disciple of the Green Gang.

On the day of the Xiangtang, there were not many guests in the Li Mansion, which was also at the request of Chen Qimei and Tao Chengzhang, as low-key as possible, but there were still people who came uninvited, this person was dressed in white, with a hand-cranked folding fan, oily hair and flour, and everyone was shocked when they saw it.

It turned out to be Yuan Kewen, the second son of Yuan Shikai, an important minister and a revolutionary enemy.

Yuan Kewen is different from his brother Yuan Keding, he has no political ambitions, he only likes to make friends, he is also a member of the Green Gang, and he is a big character like Li Zhengwu.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we don't talk about politics today." Yuan Kewen bowed his hands, found a chair to sit down, cocked Erlang's legs, picked up the hookah, and didn't care about the vicious eyes of Tao Chengzhang and others.

Or Chen Qimei is more sleek and flexible, he knows that Yuan Kewen will not be bad, but it will come in handy to make friends with this son in the enemy camp, so he stepped forward to talk, Yuan Kewen nodded from time to time, and looked at Chen Zikun's eyes also changed: "I know that this child's father, the Queen Mother of the West, Lafayette, gave the yellow coat, the blue feather guard with the title of Baturu, the tiger spear general, and picked no less than a thousand lives on the road to the west hunt, the tiger father has no dogs, such a good seedling has been picked by you, congratulations, congratulations." ”

"Where, where." Chen Qimei was happy in her heart.

……

After worshipping Li Zhengwu, Xiao Chen Zikun's fundamentals were almost done, Tao Chengzhang was a person wanted by the Qing court, and his personal safety in Shanghai was not guaranteed, and the bronze plan went smoothly, so he was relieved to buy a ticket to go east to Japan, and before leaving, he gave his badge to Xiao Chen Zikun.

This is a round badge made of white porcelain, with two seal characters "Guangfu" printed on it.

"What is the oath of the Liberation Society, do you remember?" Tao Chengzhang pressed Xiao Chen Zikun's shoulder and asked with blazing eyes.

"Restore the Han nationality, return my mountains and rivers, promise the country with my body, and retire after success." Xiao Chen Zikun recited impassionedly.

"Very good, our Restoration Association will talk most about saving the country with martial arts, and when I come back, I will have to consider your martial arts." Tao Chengzhang left this sentence and boarded the ship.

The whistle sounded, the sea ship left Hongkou Port, the Sixteen Pu Wharf was parked by British and American steamers, Hongkou Port was specially opened to Japan routes, at this time Xiao Chen Zikun and Tao Chengzhang did not know that this was the last time they met, and in two years, Tao Chengzhang was assassinated by his current close comrade-in-arms Chen Qimei.

After Tao Chengzhang left, Chen Qimei was busy with the great cause of the revolution, and gradually stopped coming to visit Xiao Chen Zikun, Yin Weijun also left the Tianbao Inn, and had another task, only Master Huo Yuanjia continued to teach martial arts every three days according to the agreement, and sometimes brought his son Huo Dongge to come, the two children were of the same age, and they had a companion to learn martial arts together, and it was more fun to learn.

Liu Yanzhi is not satisfied with these practices of the Restoration Society, the Restoration Society started with an assassination group, and his favorite thing to do is either to throw bombs or to be assassins, their so-called bronze plan will not be to cultivate a few super assassins, no wonder they only teach martial arts, not culture, how can this work.

Liu Yanzhi's body is Chen Yongren's, this is a terminally ill person, if it were not for Liu Yanzhi's blessing, I am afraid he would have died on the cruise ship long ago, so he has no skills, but he is limited by the shell, he can only be a weak scholar, and do as much as possible for his son.

Chen Yongren has no job, and he can't work even if he is sick all day long, and the entanglement brought from the United States has long been spent, and the high-rollers of the Restoration Society are screaming loudly one by one, and they are not willing to pay more, so it is more difficult for them to pay for Chen Zikun's schooling, which is more difficult than ascending to the sky.

Liu Yanzhi taught his son Chinese by himself, and Xiao Chen Zikun has some Chinese foundation, plus he is talented, and he can master hundreds of commonly used Chinese characters in just a few months, can recite 100 ancient poems, and can write beautiful hard pen techniques with a fountain pen, but the brush writing is not very good, and Liu Yanzhi does not force it.

As the days passed, Liu Yanzhi's savings were exhausted, and he was tortured mentally every day, which was Chen Yongren's suppressed spiritual power, Chen Yongren was from Hunan, he had a wife and daughter at home, and he didn't go home for a long time and missed becoming ill, and even Liu Yanzhi couldn't hold back this kind of pain.

It seems that he is bound to go back, Liu Yanzhi decided to take his son on a long trip, traveling to famous mountains and rivers, and visiting Chen Yongren's family by the way.

That time through the end of the Qing Dynasty, Zhou Jiarui, who stayed in this era, is now the big comprador of the British Jardine Matheson & Co., of course, he did not continue to use Zhou Jiarui's name, but changed to a Western name, he took Shen Xiaohong, a good friend of the year, and married the distant niece of the court member and industrialist Sheng Xuanhuai, and changed from the prime minister of the Qing court, the Yamen of the Yamen of National Affairs, to the chief Chinese comprador Jerry of Jardine Matheson. Week.

To deal with the Qing court and do business with the Chinese, foreign banks must use natives who are familiar with the people's conditions, and compradors are such figures, looking up to people and snorting for tigers, but the wealth is rolling, the identity is transcendent, and they are like two devils, and even the official master does not dare to provoke them.

Jardine Matheson is one of the largest foreign firms, the status of the comprador is noble, it is not easy for the Taoist of Shanghai Road to see Zhou Jiarui, let alone a flat-headed common man like Chen Yongren, but this is not difficult for Liu Yanzhi, he made a new set of clothes, printed a famous post, and personally went to Zhou Jiarui's mansion, which is a garden house with a combination of Chinese and Western styles on Jing'an Temple Road, which is not inferior to Hartung Garden.

In order to ensure that Zhou Jiarui could see it, he pretended to be Sun Wen's name, and the porter was also knowledgeable, and when he saw the post of the leader of the revolutionary party, he hurriedly rushed in to make a report.

Zhou Jiarui was tailoring a dress at home, and when he saw the name on the post, he raised his eyebrows: "Let him in." ”

So Liu Yanzhi was invited into the garden, after a long car road, on both sides of the green grass, the whole garden covers an area of at least tens of thousands of square meters, if these lands can be kept until a hundred years later, the price is unimaginable.

Zhou Jiarui hung him for a long time before coming to meet the guests, and glanced at Liu Yanzhi when he met: "You are Sun Wen's messenger?" ”

Liu Yan said straightly: "I have nothing to do with Sun Wen, I am here for other people." ”

"Oh?" Zhou Jiarui smiled, "You dare to lie to me, and said, if you don't satisfy me, you will have a big tea bag." ”

Mr. Zhou cocked Erlang's legs, smoked a cigar, and had two beautiful mustaches on his lips, looking arrogant.

"You are a master's degree in history from Jiang University, so don't speak pidgin English, I'm ashamed of you." Liu Yan said straight.

Zhou Jiarui jumped up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on: "You, you, who are you!" ”

"Do you remember Liu Yanzhi on Cuiwei Mountain?"

"I'm me, I'm not...... I remember, so what? Zhou Jiarui's white hair and sweat have come down, and what he is most afraid of is that the traverser will come to the door and ruin his good deeds.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here for Liu Yanzhi, he's on another mission now, and he's a little tight on hand, so I'm looking for you to fight the autumn wind."

"Fight the autumn wind, it's easy to say, how much?" Zhou Jiarui regained his vigor and slapped the maid in: "Let Steven bring my pen and checkbook." ”

"No, I don't want a check, just a banker's bill and a silver dollar." Liu Yan said straight.
