"Miss, miss—"

Jin Chunji shouted softly a few times, and Shan Xiaoman turned his head with a hint of confusion, revealing a pretty face that was happy and disgusting, and asked, "What's wrong, Chunji?" ”

Jin Chunji carefully held a stack of gorgeous Japanese-style clothes in her hand, and said with a smile: "Miss, this is a dress sent by the minister's wife, please try on whether it is suitable or not." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Shan County Xiaoman indifferently glanced at the kimono held in Jin Chunji's hand, a stunning smile exploded at the corner of his mouth, and said softly:

"Go and tell the minister's wife, that I appreciate her kindness; But I don't need to, I'm tired today and I'm not going anywhere. ”

"Huh?"

Jin Chunji looked at Shan County Xiaoman in surprise, not knowing what to say.

"Haruhime, do you hate me? Or if you had the courage to give me a knife while I wasn't looking? ”

Shan County Xiaoman said with a smile, but when these words fell into Jin Chunji's ears, it was tantamount to thunder exploding in her ears, and she was suddenly frightened, and the clothes in her hands fell to the ground with a bang.

"Miss, I'm damned, Miss, I'm damned!"

Jin Chunji knelt on the ground with a pale face and kowtowed repeatedly, and there was already a cry in her voice: "How can I have that kind of rebellious thought, Chunji has never had that hateful thought!" ”

"I know, you don't have to be afraid, I'm just talking about it."

Shan Xiaoman picked up the trembling Jin Chunji, took out a handkerchief to wipe away the tears on her face: "Chunji, we Orientals occupy your territory and persecute your king; As a North Korean, shouldn't you hate us and sacrifice your life for your North Korean country? ”

"But you have come to my house and have something to eat; Because I know Japanese, I can support my parents, younger siblings with the money I can take alone, and my mother used to sell my sister and me to pay off my debts, but now I can not only pay off my debts, but also support my family; Miss, you and the minister's wife are my benefactors! ”

Jin Chunji looked at Xiaoman in Shan County and said sincerely: "I don't know what the king is, I only know that before you came, our family was hungry every day, and I was going to be sold to a brothel, did the king take care of me?" Since there is none, then whether the king is dead or alive, whether the rivers and mountains of Korea belong to the Li family or someone else's, what does it matter to me, and why should I be killed? ”

"Haruhime, I really didn't expect you to be so thoughtful? It's good, it's good, but this kind of thing can only be done and not said, otherwise you will be scolded as a traitor. ”

Shan County Xiaoman looked at Jin Chunji in surprise, and couldn't help but feel a trace of pity in his lonely heart.

"Miss, it's not just me who thinks so, as long as we can live better than before, everyone around us says so; Since those big officials and rich men used to enjoy happiness and bullied us, even if they died for the country, should they die first? But I only see that they are all stammering you, and none of them are willing to die, so why should we poor people 'give their lives'? ”

Jin Chunji's little face was full of resentment.

"Haruhime, what you said is so good!"

Shan County Xiaoman pressed Jin Chunji, who blushed when he heard the praise, on the chair, looked at her eyes very seriously and said: "Although I don't seem to be poor, I still have no plans to sacrifice my life for the country." ”

Jinmen, Dagukou seaport.

The sun was shining, the sky was cloudless, and the sky was as clear as a wash.

At this time, the Dagukou harbor was crowded with people, all kinds of noise and laughter were endless, and everyone was carrying festive joy and laughter.

Selling tea, selling melon seeds and snacks, all kinds of shouting and drinking.

In the meantime, the prodigal son on the street took the opportunity to get to the side of the big girl and the little daughter-in-law, squeezed his chest, and looked for an opportunity to touch a handful of meat whirring big ~ buttocks, not to cause a burst of scolding from the bold and spicy women.

And the thieves and beggars of the entire Jinmen guard gathered together, interspersed with them like fish in water, each earning money with their own skills.

The Earl of the Qing Dynasty, the Governor of Zhili, the co-organizer of the University Scholar Li Hongzhang and the Minister of Military Aircraft, Sun Yuwen, the secretary of the Ministry of War, sat in the center of a color shed, and on both sides sat a large group of Zhili Mansion, the Prime Minister Yamen, and the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs of the Ministry of War.

Everyone was happy.

"Zhongtang, you are really the Bole of our Qing Dynasty!"

Sun Yuwen complimented Li Hongzhang with a smile: "This He Changying, I heard that he was still an obscure dismissal of the small sentinel the month before last, but the result was that Zhongtang was bold and discerning; No, it's only been a month, and there have been two total annihilations, such a big return. ”

Li Hongzhang smiled: "This is also the luck of our country, there are people who are outstanding in times of crisis, and they are about to turn the tide." ”

"Turning the tide is about to fall; Zhongtang, this sentence is from He Guerrilla's "Scream", right? ”

Sun Yuwen asked with a smile.

"Looks like Laishan has read that book too?"

Li Hongzhang asked with a smile.

"Such a strange book, now in Beijing, it is already expensive to make street paper, everyone reads it, how can I not know? The description of the German Army in this book is really fascinating! In the future, when He Guerrilla returns triumphantly, he will definitely meet this Beiyang rookie. ”

Beiyang rookie?

Sun Yuwen's word, Li Hongzhang listened very well, and Sun Yuwen looked at each other and smiled.

"Uhhh

The merchant ship 'Heshun', which was gradually approaching the harbor, let out a 'whine' whistle, and Li Hongzhang saw his eldest son Li Jingfang wearing eye-catching official clothes and standing at the bow of the ship against the wind.

Yixing'er tears appeared in the corners of Li Hongzhang's eyes, and his eldest son finally grew up.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

――

The Dagu Fort began to fire a salute into the sky, and the highest specification of twelve shots was fired in a flash.

"It's coming, it's coming!"

The crowd roared like a mountain shaking the sky.

Li Jingpu, Li Jurong sisters and Xue Yingchun, Audrey, Luo Hao'er, Luo Rongguang's wife Liu, Li Jingfang's step-partner Zhang, He's side room, and daughter Li Guoxiang stood in the women's shed on the third fort on the left of Dagu, looking at the merchant ships that were gradually approaching not far away.

Everyone's beautiful eyes were filled with a strange look, and Zhang's, He's and Liu's laughed and laughed, laughing and laughing.

Last night, Xue Yingchun received a post from the governor's yamen, saying that the daughter of the Li family would welcome the new military camp at Dagu Fort tomorrow morning to 'sacrifice prisoners', and please go with them.

Xue Yingchun didn't dare to refute the big face of the Governor's Palace, she got up at three o'clock in the morning this morning to dress up, and pulled up Audrey, who slept in her bed and fooled around with her for half the night last night, and tried her best to dress Audrey into a very beautiful Western doll.

As a result, in the morning, the Governor's Mansion came to greet him, and Xue Yingchun was amazed when he saw the Li family sisters, and he didn't want Miss Li to be so gentle and beautiful.

And Li Jingpu and Li Jurong were also surprised by Xue Yingchun's cuteness, and even more surprised by Audrey's cuteness.

A ray of melancholy surged into Li Jingpu's eyes at that time, she had heard that this Xue Yingchun was the wife of He Changying's sworn brother, and He Changying's sworn eldest brother was looked at by the commander of the Beitang training army because of the 'Gao Sheng' matter.

"Sister, I know what you're worried about, but it's impossible, and they will never have any private relationship."

Li Jurong saw the melancholy in her sister's eyes, and quietly 'bit her ears' at her sister.

Li Jingpu's pretty face suddenly turned red.

"Mrs. Fang, we are all the township party of Feixi, He Changying and my eldest brother are like brothers, we will move around often in the future, and if we have leisure, please come to my governor's mansion to sit."

Li Jurong said to Xue Yingchun with a smile.

"Ahh

Li Jurong's 'Mrs. Fang' shouted Xue Yingchun stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it, he realized that he was calling himself, and hurriedly said with a smile: "That's certain, as long as you nobles don't dislike me for trouble." ”

As he spoke, Xue Yingchun couldn't help but feel a little gloomy in his heart.

'Mrs. Fang'?

It turns out that I am no longer a little girl with yellow flowers in the boudoir, but a 'other woman' who has been labeled.

A widow and a widow!
