Chapter Thirty-Eight: Yuan's Mansion Rejects Guests
Although Wang Yongan tried his best to keep Jiang Dengxuan, Jiang Dengxuan had no choice but to have a good place to go, and he was determined to go to Zhu Qinglan's side, but he couldn't promise anything, so he had to give up. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info He knew that in the future, Zhu Qinglan would soon be transferred to SC and after the road protection movement occurred in SC, he went into the field together with Jiang Dengxuan, and Jiang Dengxuan was the most depressed at that time, and it was not too late for him to recruit Jiang Dengxuan.
Therefore, after Jiang Dengxuan wrote the letter of recommendation, Wang Yongan ordered Liu Tong to return to Yangzhou with his letter of recommendation, and recommended Feng Heng and Li Yunlong to Wang Yongtai.
Liu Tong rode a horse, and a stone in Wang Yongan's heart finally fell to the ground.
The convoy went west along the official road and walked for ten days before arriving at Hui County, Henan Province, but after arriving here, the people in the old courtyard of the Yuan family said that Yuan Junmen had gone to Zhangde to cultivate, and everyone spent five days to Zhangde County, Henan Province (the later AY City of Yu Province is Yuan Shikai's hometown, at this time the army stationed in Yu Province is the 29th Mixed Association, the Association Ying Longxiang, this Jun is a graduate of the second phase of the RB Non-commissioned Officer School, and the 21st Mixed Association Li Yuanhong's in-law, but because he is HB people, Therefore, the prestige of the 29th Mixed Association of the New Army in Henan Province is not high. Ying Longxiang neither visited Yuan Shikai nor made friends with local subordinates, which made him quite controversial here. Yuan Shikai sent people to show favor many times, but Ying Longxiang neither refused nor accepted, and his attitude was unpredictable, which gave Yuan Shikai a headache.
The group passed through Ying Longxiang's garrison without any hindrance or interrogation, and then the convoy arrived at Yangshouyuan in Zhangde County, Henan Province (now Huanshang Village, AY City). Yangshouyuan was originally the villa of He Bingying, a businessman from Jinmen, with a total area of 200 acres, facing Huanshui in front and Taihang on the right, with elegant scenery. After Yuan Shikai purchased this villa, he expanded and rebuilt it and named it Yangshouyuan. The pavilions and pavilions in the park are scattered, the mountains and rocks are stacked and green, the pond water is microwaved, and the willows are still there. In order to show the regent Zaifeng that he had no intention of fame and interest rates, and was bent on boating to be a leisurely guest, Yuan Shikai asked a photographer from a photo studio in TJ to take pictures of himself and his brother Yuan Shilian boating and fishing in the pond, and named it "Fishing Map" and sent it to Shanghai "Oriental Magazine" for publication.
Of course, not only did Wang Yongan know that the more Yuan Shikai behaved like an idle cloud and a wild crane, the more eager he was to regain power, and other smart people had long known Yuan Shikai's ambitions. It's just that Yuan Shikai's forbearance made Wang Yongan have to admire, the more a person can endure, the more he can do great things.
When Wang Yongan saw that Huanshang Village was actually connected to the wires and telegraph lines, he immediately laughed, if Yuan Shikai really has no intention of politics, why install telegraph lines at home, Yuanfu Yangshouyuan in Huanshang Village was actually the first to be electrified than Yangzhou, and the Wang family, as the commander of Yangzhou's urban defense, did not even have electricity, but the village was electrified, which shows that Yuan Shikai is ready to go out of the mountain at any time.
After handing over the name card to the Yuan Mansion, a middle-aged man soon walked out, and this person was Yuan Shikai's nephew and housekeeper Yuan Naikuan.
This Yuan Naikuan is a native of Zhengyang, Henan Province, after taking refuge in Yuan Shikai in the nineteenth year of Guangxu (1893), he worshiped Yuan Shikai as his uncle, in fact, the two only have the same surname and have no kinship. Yuan Naikuan followed Yuan Shikai in North Korea, managed document secrets, and later returned to China with Yuan Shikai to train troops at a small station, and established the new Army Grain and Salary Association Accountant, and later served as the assistant of the Grain and Salary Bureau. Yuan Shikai was dismissed and went home, and Yuan Naikuan loyally followed the resignation back and made a housekeeper for Yuan Shikai with peace of mind.
"This is the younger brother of Brother Dingran (Wang Yongtai, the word Dingran), Wang Yongan, the fourth son of the Wang family, right? Under Yuan Naikuan, the word Shao Ming, Tian is the housekeeper of the Yuan Mansion, the fourth son is here, please, please forgive me for the neglect. Yuan Naikuan smiled and invited Wang Yongan to the side hall, with a gift list on the table. Wang Yongan was about to speak, Yuan Naikuan pushed the gift list back, and said with a smile: "Fourth son, what your brother means, my lord already knows, but this gift, our lord doesn't want it." ”
"Big butler, this is out of sight, isn't it?" Wang Yongan said with a smile, "My second brother sent me to give a birthday gift this time, not for the public, but for the private." The Governor is kind to my second brother and to my royal family, how can we be the kind of ungrateful people? If I forget the kindness of the Governor, I am afraid that my grandfather will crawl out of the ground to repair our two brothers. ”
Yuan Naikuan couldn't help but laugh and said, "I can't see that the fourth prince is a humorous person." ”
"The big housekeeper is polite, if I take this gift back, I will be punished when I go home, alas, ......" Wang Yongan shook his head and sighed, with a depressed face.
Yuan Naikuan couldn't help but ask, "What punishment?" ”
"Blind date, get married." Wang Yongan complained, "Xiao Ke is only eighteen years old now, and he still wants to become famous, and he doesn't want to find a wife to get married." Alas...... In fact, both of us brothers are virtuous, and they don't want to be bound by women. ”
Yuan Naikuan laughed and said: "I remember, by the way, it seems that your eldest brother Wang will definitely not get married, and he is the only one among the generals, and your brothers are similar." ”
"So, this congratulatory gift ......"
Yuan Naikuan said with a straight face: "It's not ruthless, it's really this year's master's order, no birthdays, no congratulatory gifts, and no outsiders." So today I came to see you, it's really the court that is not at ease with the master, if you let the court know that the lord is in contact with the military in various places, you will have to be plotted by the court. ”
Wang Yongan submitted it again and again, but Yuan Naikuan insisted on not accepting it, and in desperation, Wang Yongan took out 5,000 from the 20,000 eagles and gave it to Yuan Naikuan in private, so that he could help him say good things. Yuan Naikuan did not refuse to give the gift, and laughed in a low voice: "Fourth son, you go back to Yangzhou and tell Wang Dingran that my lord knows his loyalty." ”
Wang Yongan said: "My second brother is helpless in the army, and he can only rely on the governor, thanks to Brother Shao Ming's kind words." ”
Yuan Naikuan smiled and sent Wang Yongan out of Yuan's house, then returned to the inner hall, walked through the main hall to the pond behind the courtyard, and saw that Yuan Shikai was concentrating on fishing, so he stood aside with his hands down. After a while, Yuan Shikai hung up the fishing rod, a small fish was hooked, he was very happy, the eldest son Yuan Keding hurriedly used his pocket to pocket the fish, unhooked the hook, and put on the bait. Yuan Shikai handed the fishing rod to Yuan Keding and said, "You catch a few fish for me." ”
"Yes, father." Yuan Keding said respectfully, as a result, the fishing rod was fishing, but he was uncertain, and his magical ears wanted to hear what his father and the housekeeper said.
