Half a month later, the servant Niu Ben, who was sent to Changsha to take a train south to Guangzhou to ask for Jiawu and Wen Bin's peace letter, came back. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info he brought back a surprising and delightful news.

After the failure of the Wuchang Uprising, the brothers Jiawu and Wenbin participated in the protection of ****, transferred to Yunnan, and fought fiercely with Yuan Shikai's Beiyang Army at the junction of Yunnan, Guizhou and Hunan. Twenty days ago, when blocking the attack of Yuan's army at Guanshan Pass, Cai Yi, commander-in-chief of the First Army, joined hands with his confidante Xiao Fengxian to command the front line, a shell fell beside him, and his guards had not yet reacted. General Cai Ye and Xiao Fengxian were unharmed, and Jiawu's calf was hit by the blown stones, and with a "click", the calf bone was shattered and broken. Wen Bin also suffered a minor head injury......

My mother, the day when Jiawu and Wen Bin were injured by the explosion was when Tan Liang fell and smashed onto the bed in the Jiawu room of the Tusi compound! The whole Tusi Mansion was shocked into a cold sweat.

Jiawu was sent to the Dian Army General Hospital in Kunming, where he was carefully recuperated. Wen Bin captured the heart of a beautiful secretary in the commander's mansion because of this. The Li family in Tusi Mansion breathed a sigh of relief.

The domestic servant Niu Ben rode a fast horse with a letter of introduction from the government of the Republic of China in Guangzhou, went through many difficulties and dangers, endured hardships, and met Jiawu and Wenbin in Kunming. When he saw the eldest young master and the fifth young master of the owner's family, Niu Ben was so excited that he cried, saying that if he couldn't see the eldest young master and the fifth young master, he would not be able to return to the Xiangxi Tusi Mansion. After Niu Ben calmed down, he told the strange things that had happened in the Li family of Tusi Mansion these days. Niu Ben said with a dark face that when Jiawu's room fell into sandalwood, the two Jiawu brothers laughed and said that his leg had manifested. The brothers were injured here, and their home thousands of miles away fell sandalwood. The two brothers of Jiawu took out the 10,000 yuan ocean silver ticket rewarded by the **** and asked Niu Ben to go home. The brothers told Niu Ben that after exchanging it for cash in Guangzhou, they would hurry home as soon as possible. Niu Ben has been out of the house for almost a month, and the family should be in a hurry. At the end of the letter from the Jiawu brothers, he wrote: "Father, Mingjian, this 10,000 yuan of silver is intended to be used for the expansion of the silk reeling factory in the ancient town. Wen'er Fuxing shines brightly, and is now used in the army; With Wu'er's stump leg, if you are reluctant to protect the ****, it is really a drag, and it is the best policy to disarm and return to the field. After Wu'er's leg healed, he returned to his hometown to revitalize the family business for his father......"

The Eight Immortals of the Toast Master slapped the table and sighed: "The catastrophe has passed, the Li family is prosperous, and it is just around the corner!" ”

The third and fourth Wentao both wrote back, saying that their studies were about to be completed and they were running around looking for a position as a teacher.

"Haha," Master Toast slapped the fairy table again, making the tea cup on the table jump wildly. He said to himself, "What are you looking for a teacher? Lao Tzu provided you with four years of normal education, and what you are waiting for is to return from your studies. There is a new school in the town, and someone is doing the work for me. ”

On the twentieth day of the lunar month, the Xiangqian official road donated by the master of Tusi to repair the whole line was completed. On the twenty-fourth day of the lunar month, the National Elementary School of Fenghuangzhai in Gucheng County was announced to be put into use in the sound of firecrackers and Miao drums. On the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, there is good news again, Jiawu, who has been away for three years, is back! He also came back with a set of oriental artificial silk reeling machines, a technician named Chen Yukun. Technician Chen is responsible for the installation and commissioning of this set of machines. It is said that this machine is the most advanced in the world. However, the silk silk patterns it spits out every day are comparable to the hand-woven brocades of the local Miao and Tujia people carried by the horses.

The Spring Festival has arrived, and the Tusi Mansion has had a Spring Festival that can be described as a glorious ancestor and infinite scenery.

The injuries of Jiawu and Wen Bin have healed, and on the day they were discharged from the hospital and returned to Hunan, Commander Cai and Xiao Fengxian came to say goodbye. Wen Bin wanted to go to Europe, America, Japan, and Germany with a group of young officers or progressive students to study and further his studies, so he and Huang Xing, who was hunted down by Yuan Shikai, and other leaders of the Brotherhood Association, transferred to Shanghai to board the ship and left first; This can really be described as a knowing feeling, a life-saving grace, everyone is reluctant, and the old wine is drunk one after another. Finally, Commander Cai asked: "What job do you want to seek when you return to Hunan?" ”

Jiawu replied: "It is impossible to join the army and it is inconvenient to serve in the local government. Before I went north with Mr. Nakayama to revolutionize, I was in business for my father, and when I returned, I would like to return to my old business. ”

"It's good to be in business!" Commander Cai was in high spirits, then sighed and said, "Why don't I want to take the road of economic salvation?" In Yunnan, I had already designed a series of economic revitalization plans, but it was difficult! The revolution has not yet succeeded, and comrades still need to work hard. I dare not forget Mr. Nakayama's teachings. Wait until Yuan Shikai is defeated and the warlords are pacified. Hey, the mainland is not more developed than the coastal silk reeling industry in Guangdong, does Ling Zun have a business? ”

"Don't hide it from the commander, my father runs a silk reeling factory in Phoenix." Jiawu said with great interest: "After I go back, I want to focus on managing this factory. ”

Commander Cai was overjoyed, sent his entourage back, took an order, and said: "A few years ago, I ordered a set of Japanese-made silk reeling equipment in Shanghai, which arrived three months ago, and the payment has been paid in full, and I still owe three months of rent for the storage of the equipment. If you don't dislike it, this set of equipment will be given to you. ”

"How dare you accept such a precious thing? I ......"

Commander Cai waved his hand and said, "If it is precious, isn't my life more precious than this equipment?" And if my life had not been saved by you, how could it have survived today? You and I are friends of life and death, and we must not be separated. This is one. Second, this set of equipment was originally planned to be placed in Qujing, but the Sannong of Qujing was keen on the cultivation of tobacco leaves. Without cocoons, this set of equipment becomes a rice-free cook. If it is empty for decoration, it is better to give it to you, this set of machines will not be wasted, and it will be useful! ”

Commander Cai's words made Jiawu both moved and embarrassed, and he couldn't describe his complex feelings in words.

Commander Cai laughed and said, "I can see your mood at a glance. In this way, this set of equipment is my investment in Lingzun's silk reeling factory. In the future, if there is any profit, I will donate my share to the National Revolution, and I will be satisfied, regardless of how much I have. ”

Jiawu stood up, saluted a military salute, and said, "A word is a certainty!" ”

Commander Cai also wanted to stand up, but suddenly there was a sharp angina pain, and a layer of fine sweat suddenly appeared on his forehead.

"Commander, what's wrong with you?" Seeing that General Cai's face suddenly turned pale, Jiawu was taken aback and hurriedly asked.

"Old problem, old problem. Nothing to speak of. Cai Yi smiled with difficulty, "For the installation and use of the equipment, I have hired a professional technician in Shanghai. His name and address are written on the order. When you arrive in Shanghai, you find him, and there is no other danger. ”

Jiawu limped to Shanghai on the front foot, accompanied by his confidante Xiao Fengxian, General Cai Yi dragged his sick body to Shanghai on his hind feet, and set off from Shanghai to Japan for treatment. Soon after, he died in Fukuoka, Japan, at the age of 34...... And Yuan Shikai, who stole the president of the Republic of China and then ascended the throne for less than 83 days, went to see God amid the scolding of the people of the whole country......
