Chapter 120: Severing Relations
The great victory in the first battle of Hangzhou in Zhejiang and Shangzhou has dampened the arrogance of the Japanese and greatly increased the prestige of the Chinese, not only in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, but also in newspapers large and small throughout the country vied with each other to report this hard-won victory. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
In the overwhelming analysis of the battle situation and the praise of the Chinese army, Qu Shizheng, as the commander-in-chief, was naturally indispensable to the attention of the outside world, and even Mr. Zhou, who had always been sharp as a knife in his pen, of different parties and factions, published articles in the newspaper, making no secret of his praise.
He was originally famous, but now he has won the battle, and there are even more honors such as the personal call from Chairman Jiang of Nanjing to commend him, and for a time all the leftovers of all sizes have been dug up, and even the grand occasion of the wedding at that time has become a topic of conversation in the streets and alleys.
When the limelight was in its prime, Duan Qi, the former premier of the Beiyang government, who had always claimed to be living in Shanghai in the south, issued a statement in the newspaper with the largest circulation in the country, officially including his grandson Qu Shizheng in the family tree of the Duan family and regarded him as his own grandson.
For the sake of kindness, the surname Qu remains the same, but it has nothing to do with the Qu family from now on.
As early as when the name of "Southern Meng and Northern Qu" sounded, there were few people in the country who didn't know that this young marshal Qu was raised by Duan Qi with him, so this belated official statement is understandable.
Besides, although Duan Qi is now under the old name, he has long since retired, and he doesn't even have any real power in his hands, so he accepts Qu Shizheng as a member of the Duan family, which can only be regarded as a family matter. Therefore, there was no movement on the Nanjing side.
There was no big reaction from the military-political-party circles, but when the news arrived in Maocheng, it blew up all at once.
What did the Qu family rely on to show off their power in Maocheng for so many years? Although Maocheng is a small place, as the saying goes, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and a mayor can be the heaven of the people of the whole city.
Although Maocheng is not a rich and noble family, but there are many squires and mayors, if it were not for the pressure of Qu Shizheng's name, just with the boss of the Qu family who was a secretary in the town government, the Qu family was an old family of poverty and whiteness, how could everyone be afraid of three points?
The shadow of the famous tree, although Qu Shizheng has never returned to Maocheng since he left home at the age of eight, he can still make people look up at the Qu family because of his status and identity, and call the Qu family "old lady".
It's just that everyone can see the truth clearly, but the Qu family was very unimpressed before.
When an old man who had served in the Qu family for many years told her the news, she almost knocked over the medicine bowl.
"What do you say? That white-eyed wolf, the Qu family gave birth to him, and he didn't know how to repay him? Qu's hands trembled: "If there is no Jingrong, can there be a little - forced - cub in this world?!" ”
If the Qu family could still be the bone before, and thought that all the status and glory of the Qu family were brought by her little grandson who was studying in the city, then since she came out of prison, she completely understood what the name Qu Shizheng meant.
People are useless when they are old, they were pushed by the little soldier before, she actually broke a bone, and after entering, she didn't eat what she wanted to eat, she didn't drink what she wanted to drink, but she had to be tortured every day to extract a confession, and she quickly only had a handful of bones left.
It wasn't until later that she drew a picture of her detention, and the prison guards stopped detaining her, but they locked her up with some extremely vicious people, and she was frightened, and she forced her breath to come out to see her little grandson, so she held on for several months.
The prison guards also thought she was an old man and troublesome, but no one dared to release her, and they didn't dare to release her in the slightest during the execution, but the mayor personally brought it, and it hurt Mrs. Qu, listening to the meaning of the mayor's words, this grandmother, General Qu, did not intend to admit it, so they naturally would not be polite to her.
As soon as she entered the gate, she saw her little grandson standing in the courtyard in a daze, and she ran and fell down with joy.
The Qu family was shocked, and hurriedly invited a doctor to come and see, and the respected old Chinese medicine doctor in Maocheng shook his head after taking the pulse, and only said five words, afraid that he was going to be paralyzed.
Qu Shirong was a little impatient, flicked his sleeves and left.
It was the eldest of the Qu family who stayed to comfort his mother, and then hurriedly went to work again.
No matter how Qu Shi didn't treat Duan Yu and Qu Shizheng, he was good at Qu Shirong, and he couldn't hold all the good things in the world in front of him, but as soon as he heard that he was going to be paralyzed, he didn't even have a good word, he just shook his face and left, saying that he was not chilling, it was impossible.
Qu sat on the bed and beat his legs and began to wipe his tears, but what he regretted was not his grandson's attitude, but that he was useless and caused trouble to his grandson.
Zhilan didn't know what Qu was thinking, she just thought that she was sad because of Qu Shirong's indifference that she didn't ask, so she stepped forward to persuade her.
"Grandma, don't be sad, Brother Shirong just came back from the battlefield, what kind of place is that, he may have been stimulated, only Brother Shirong came back alone, he must be sad in his heart, and when he passes this time, he will definitely be as filial to you as before."
Zhilan's words immediately reached Qu's heart, she has worked hard for most of her life, isn't she just expecting to enjoy the joy of teasing her grandson when she is old?
She is already paralyzed left and right, and she can't add some bad things to Shirong anymore. Thinking so, Qu actually sent his subordinates to the Qu Mansion in the suburban garrison, and asked Qu Shizheng to fulfill her filial piety and take her to the mansion to recuperate.
What kind of place is the garrison headquarters, how can ordinary people enter if they want to?
Therefore, the people sent by the Qu clan didn't even see the shadow of the Qu Mansion at all, and they were stopped by the sentry a hundred meters away.
Qu Shizheng's attitude was what made Qu Shi feel a little really panicked.
Now that I have learned such news again, it is strange not to be angry.
"Help me up, I'm going to go to that white-eyed wolf for an explanation!"
Qu Shi impatiently overturned the medicine in the hands of the subordinate, and the medicinal juice splashed all over her body, but she couldn't sit up, she opened her mouth and scolded the subordinate: "You are a dead man, don't you see me getting up?" Come and help me! ”
Zhilan, who had been listening outside for a long time, finally couldn't help but stomp her feet, opened the curtain and walked in.
"Grandma, Mr. Duan's statement has been issued, this time Brother Shizheng may have some troubles, after all, he grew up with his grandfather, you rushed over like this, it's not good to hurt your body, you want to teach Brother Shirong to feel distressed."
She patted Qu's back and gave her a sigh of relief, "Why don't I go for you." ”
"The matter of the Qu family, what do you look like when you get involved! Help me up, don't fight for steamed buns, I have to ask this unworthy descendant myself! (To be continued.) )
