Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Kowtow Journey

"Feihong, look, that's the island of Taiwan," Young Master Liang put his arm around Huang Feihong's shoulders and pointed to a dark shadow looming on the sea in front of him. The two brothers were now standing shoulder to shoulder on deck, basking in the sun, looking east and west, and the curiosity and playfulness of the young man's habits were revealed at this moment.

Huang Qiying returned to Guangzhou before the Chinese New Year, and Tieqiao San still stayed on the border of Guangdong and Jiangxi; Young Master Liang came to his master to pay New Year's greetings to him, and Huang Qiying entrusted his son to him, and asked Huang Feihong to replace Liang Qiang and Liang Zhuang as his attendants, so that the brothers and sisters could practice martial arts together sooner or later. In fact, Huang Qiying thinks a lot and far, this apprentice is undoubtedly a genius, and his future is going straight to the Forbidden City, his son follows him through the experience, which is more practical than what he learned in school, and this experience will be more helpful to his son's future future, their father and son can be regarded as completely working for the apprentice, but what credit can be compared to the dragon's work? Alas, for the sake of his son's future, the kind-hearted Master Huang is about to catch up with Yue Buqun.

At this moment, Young Master Liang is taking the British steam clipper to Shanghai to pay New Year's greetings to his future father-in-law Xu Shou, and then join Rong Hong to go to Tianjin to pay New Year's greetings to his teacher Zeng Guofan.

This is the tradition of our Chinese; Young Master Liang now has two fiancées who are said to be like flowers, so he has to go to see his father-in-law and mother-in-law during the New Year; After worshipping the two masters, I have to pay New Year's greetings to the master according to the ceremony, and I worship the first person of today's Han officials, Zeng Guofan, as a teacher, so I have to pay New Year's greetings to the teacher.

Since the poor young master Liang returned to Guangzhou for the New Year, he has kept kowtowing to the New Year, kowtowing in Liang's house, going to Pan's house, and now he has to take a boat to Shanghai and Tianjin. If this continues, his Hongquan has not yet been practiced, and the iron head skill will definitely improve a lot.

Before leaving Guangzhou, he and his fifth uncle Liang Haowen did not find a chance to have a deep conversation with Old Man Liang, so they could only talk about it later; It is estimated that it will take a month for him to come back when he goes out this time, and the recruitment of people in the navy can only ask Liang Haowen to worry about it. For the safety of Young Master Liang's travel, Liang Haowen also equipped him with a guard team composed of five people, the captain was transferred from the special combat team Zhang Sanyue, who was the apprentice of Tieqiao San and the senior brother of Young Master Liang.

At this time, Zhang March and four team members were scattered on the deck, seemingly casually but attentively observing the surroundings, although not as arrogant as the black suit and sunglasses of later generations, if there were strangers who wanted to get close to Master Liang, they would definitely be put down and pressed first.

"Senior brother, come over here", Young Master Liang gestured to Zhang Yue, and the captain of the guard immediately hurried over in three steps and two steps; "Senior brother, after arriving in Shanghai, you can help me send a telegram to the special combat team, asking them to go to Taiwan to reconnoitre, first investigate whether there are any Japanese firms or other forces in Taiwan, and if they find anything, they will secretly eradicate all of them; Remember, this kind of thing can't be left behind, and it can't be discovered by the people around you; Also, go to Yilan, Taiwan, to check out the terrain and local conditions, and I plan to build a base there this year."

Although this March is a martial arts practitioner, he is very careful, so he was selected by Liang Haowen to be the captain of the guard; He understood that what Young Master Liang said was important military affairs, so he didn't dare to slack off, so he immediately returned to the cabin and found a pen and paper to write it down secretly.

And Huang Feihong, who was playing with his senior brother next to him looking at the scenery, was secretly frightened, his senior brother's sudden change of style of speech would kill him, Huang Daxia, who had not grown up yet, really couldn't adapt, could he still play happily together?

Young Master Liang looked at Huang Daxia, who had a pale face, and patted him on the shoulder: "Feihong, do you think I'm cold-blooded and want the lives of those Japanese at every turn?" ”

Huang Daxia nodded indifferently, and then immediately worried that he would be scolded by this senior brother who was also a chief, because his father had repeatedly told him to obey his senior brother's words, but he didn't know what to say at the moment, and his face immediately became unnatural to cry and laugh.

"Feihong, you haven't seen the Japanese, and you don't know the ferocity of these Japanese; This Japanese in the Ming Dynasty was called the Japanese Bandits, specializing in the southeast coast of our country to do robbers, burning, killing and looting, for evil, and later by General Yu Dayou and General Qi Jiguang to rein in; Now that our Qing Dynasty is so weak, the Japanese have begun to attack our idea again; You have to remember that this is a struggle between nations, and in this kind of struggle, human life is as worthless as ants! ”

Huang Feihong was ignorant, is our Young Master Liang trying to instigate his junior brother into an iron-blooded soldier? Woohoo lament, then in the future, that ancient and hot-hearted Huang Feihong Huang Daxia will still have wood?

The boat traveled for two days and arrived in Shanghai; The steamer entered the Huangpu River and sailed to the Shiliupu Wharf; When passing by the Bund, you can see a tall Western-style building standing very swaggering in the center of the Bund, the whole building is more than 100 meters wide and has seven floors. The tallest of the other buildings around the Bund is only five storeys, and this building that stands out from the crowd is the Shanghai branch of Tianbao Xing.

"Feihong, you see, this tallest building is the office of our Tianbao Xing, and there are many houses in the back, and we will live here today", Young Master Liang put his arm around Huang Feihong's shoulders and showed off with him, but Huang Feihong, who has been instilled with iron-blooded military thinking by his senior brother in the past two days, is obviously not in a state, plus the first time he took the sea ship, at this time, he didn't come back to his senses like a stunned person, and grinned reluctantly: "Oh, senior brother, I may be a little seasick, and now I think I can lie down and sleep for a while."

Well, Master Liang stopped ravaging this cute baby and continued his kowtow journey. A group of people took a rickshaw to the Shanghai Education Center, the 800 acres of land that they had bought had been enclosed by a wall, and on the tall gatehouse, the six characters of the University of Shanghai for Science and Technology inscribed by Zeng Guofan had been made into a plaque and hung on it; The walls are divided into several areas to build different colleges, and at present, only the campus of the University of Shanghai for Science and Technology has been completed, and several other colleges are under construction.

When Rong Hong heard that they were coming, he was already outside the door, and he heard his loud voice from afar: "Haha, Senior Brother Liang, can I look forward to you, it's always good to be away for many days?" ”

"Happy New Year, senior! To tell you the latest good news, Senior Huang Kuan's new daughter-in-law is pregnant, two days ago he took Qiao'er to Liangjiazhuang for New Year's greetings, Qiao'er's belly has been clearly seen to be pregnant with a baby."

Rong Hong was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Brother Jiechen is blessed, I said Senior Brother Liang, you are not kind this time, you are patronizing Brother Jiechen, there is another senior here, why don't you think about it?" ”

Oh, Young Master Liang was stunned: "Didn't the senior say that he liked American girls last time?" ”

"I said this, but now that I'm back to China, the imperial court has not approved the plan for this schoolboy to stay in the United States, how can I get to the United States?"

Young Master Liang's laughter was almost uncontrollable, thinking that Rong Hong was probably holding back enough, today's words were so direct, he immediately forgave him repeatedly: "Senior forgive me, how could I forget you?" This time for the Chinese New Year, I also sent someone to bring New Year's goods to visit your brother in your hometown in Nanping. It's just that you and I have a wrong idea, and I thought you were bent on finding an American girl. I figured it out today, that's easy to do, I asked Senior Huang Kuan to pick two candidates, one is called Xiaozhen, 21 years old, relatively beautiful, and the other is Qiao'er, 27 years old, with average appearance, both of them are very well-behaved; Senior Huang Kuan picked the older Qiao'er, that young and beautiful Xiao Zhen is still in my grandmother's room, if the senior thinks it's okay, this matter will be wrapped up in me."

Rong Hong's personality is more bold than Huang Kuan's, and his face is also a lot thicker, and he immediately laughed and said: "I also learn what you say, and I don't dare to ask for ears if I want to!" ”

Okay! Young Master Liang came to the Qing Dynasty, and he has done a lot of virtues, bought so many orphans, and solved lifelong events for two super old and difficult young people; It's just that history has been tampered with a lot by him, and the American daughter-in-law of Rong Hong in the original history still has wood? His two mixed-race sons still have wood?
