Chapter 37: The Engagement (1)
The examination of the Central Army Military Academy has finally begun, and in fact it is necessary to take two examinations to enter this school, the first of which is the preliminary examination, which is conducted by the provinces themselves, and only those who pass the preliminary examination can go to Nanjing for the re-examination. x updates are the fastest
Feng Yi and Yi Wei both passed the preliminary examination before they were ready to participate in the re-examination. But Xiao Linghu is a little special, he is an in-service officer, and he has military merits, so under normal circumstances, he should participate in the short-term officer training course held by the Army Military Academy, but Xiao Huang trusted Shangguan Hong's relationship, and Shangguan Hong added his quota to those candidates in the ordinary class, after all, the graduates of the regular class are different from the graduates of the training class, and the treatment is also different. This can be regarded as Shangguan Hong's repayment to the Jingdezhen vase that Xiao Huang gave him.
Of course, there are some more special people, who can go to formal classes without exams, and they are called escorts, but in fact they are the children of characters with a very hard background.
Ordinary students have to take the exam for two days, and they will take the party righteousness, Chinese language, foreign language, Chinese and foreign history, geography, mathematics, physics and chemistry. Xiao Linghu took the exam of the training class, so he only took the exam of Chinese language and mathematics, physics and chemistry, but he also took the exam for two days.
As soon as the exam was over, Xiao Linghu felt that the pressure on his body was relaxed all of a sudden, and hurriedly went to Feng Yi and Yi Wei to confront the question. Think about it, people take so many exams, and you only take two exams, it's really a nest.
However, what Xiao Linghu didn't expect was that when he went to Shangguan Hong's office to inquire about the situation, a large number of the instructors in charge of the exam knew him and called him a beautiful man, but it turned out that Wang Tianyu's three-day "Jinling Daily" advertisement had already been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. An instructor patted him on the shoulder and told him to rest assured that as long as he wrote about the same, he would definitely pass the test. Only then did he feel that his biggest advantage in life was the face given by his parents, and indeed, good-looking people, whether male or female, were particularly likable.
The weather is getting hotter in May, since the exam has passed, it makes Xiao Linghu feel that he has nothing to do, he doesn't have to pick up his sister from school every day, Yan Shiji was afraid that Xiao Linghu would be idle and cause trouble, so he asked him to learn business management from his cousin Liu Ping at the beginning. Liu Ping put a bunch of account books in front of Xiao Linghu and asked him to reconcile them one by one, Xiao Linghu only went to work for one day, and then felt dizzy and swollen, and finally couldn't stand it anymore, and asked his uncle to change jobs. Yan Shiji thought about it, so he let him be his own driver again, and looked at his side every day when he went to and from work, that is, when he was in the office, he also let Xiao Linghu sit on the side and read a book, in fact, Xiao Linghu became Yan Shiji's follower.
Although he felt that it was better to follow Liu Pingxue to become Yan Shiji's follower, Xiao Linghu didn't dare to give any more opinions, I don't know why, Yan Shiji had never beaten and scolded him, but he had a natural fear of this uncle, in Xiao Lingshuang's words, this is the truth that one thing descends one thing.
In March, the Ministry of Finance promulgated the "Decree on Abolishing the Two Yuan and Changing the Yuan," stipulating that all public and private money receipts and payments, contract bills, and all transactions should be changed to silver coins, and silver taels could no longer be used. This effectively kicked off the end of the silver standard system that had been in place in China for thousands of years.
As the governor of the central bank, Yan Shiji had to improve and supplement the details of the subsequent implementation, which is also the main reason why he is often in Nanjing this month.
Xiao Linghu wished that Yan Shiji would go back to Shanghai as soon as possible, why didn't Yan Shiji want to leave Nanjing as soon as possible? Now on the question of how many taels of silver are converted into one dollar of silver coins, Yan Shiji is very troubled. According to the purchasing power standard, Shanghai has come up with a plan of seven cents and five cents of silver, which is converted into one dollar of silver, but other places are not as good as Shanghai, that is, Jiangsu Province, which is the closest to Shanghai, and the same silver money can buy different things, so all kinds of boycotts and problems have come one after another.
Because he often accompanied his uncle to run between the Central Bank and the Ministry of Finance, and sometimes had to run to the Executive Yuan, the Ministry of the Interior and the Mint, Xiao Linghu did not learn other skills, but he knew a bunch of dignitaries and heads of the Ministry of Finance and the National Government at all levels.
At the beginning, Xiao Linghu was still a little embarrassed in the face of so many people's fingers, but after a long time, he accepted it calmly, he knew that he was now the most popular fashion model in Nanjing.
There really had to be a film company looking for him to make a movie, although Xiao Linghu was very moved, but he was unceremoniously rejected by his uncle. Maybe in a big family like Yan Shiji, the actor is the actor, and it is the ninth rate.
It is precisely because of being watched by Yan Shiji that Xiao Linghu has become a very honest and good child, that is, he has never met Feng Xuan and Feng Yi much, but on the weekend, Yi Wei came to Xiao's house to play and revealed the news outside to him.
Yi Wei is now very close to Feng Yi, maybe he thinks he will become classmates in the future, so he often goes to the Kangbao Pharmacy on Qingshi Street when he has nothing to do, and now Feng Yi has become the second shopkeeper of the Kangbao Pharmacy, and to Yi Wei's surprise, Xiao Linghu also heard that Leng Jinghan's jackal Ah Ming also often went to Feng Yi and asked him about some poetry and songs. After careful questioning, Xiao Linghu suddenly realized that Ah Ming had taken a fancy to whose ladies and was violently attacking.
"Hehe, that's interesting!" Yi Wei said with a smile: "That Ah Ming is a martial artist, and he has to pretend to be elegant, what messy poems he wrote asked Yi to help him change them, Yi all lost them, and then wrote a new one for him, he couldn't put it down, and after a few days he came to ask for a new one, which made Yi very annoying." ”
Xiao Linghu also laughed, I really don't know which sister Ah Ming is fancy, there are many things that love Wu and Wu, maybe Ah Ming can really write poems. But think about it, Ah Ming and Feng Yi are good friends, it should be regarded as friends in distress, they have been in the same ward for several days.
"By the way, there's one more thing!" Yi Wei said to Xiao Linghu again: "A few days ago, Su Xianmin took a group of spies to Kangbao Pharmacy to search. ”
"Huh?" Xiao Linghu's heart tightened, and he hurriedly asked, "Did you find anything?" ”
"What can you find? What else could there be besides a bunch of medicines? ”
"What are they searching for?"
Yi Wei said: "I listened to Yi, it seems that I am searching for the fugitive who escaped not long ago, and what kind of radio station or something." ”
Hearing this, Xiao Linghu's heart jumped again, it was certain that the fugitive named Chen Guang must have been planned by Feng Xuan to escape, but after so long, that person hadn't left Nanjing yet? It's no wonder that when you think about it, everything in Nanjing is loose on the outside and tight on the inside, and it is not easy for that person to escape, and it seems that that person may have been injured.
