Section 8 Thorn Liao (8)

During the meal, there was a strange scene in the courtyard of the Liu family, the large round table in the middle was staggered, and the old man Liu and several of his wives frequently persuaded him to drink, but the tables of the soldiers on the periphery were relatively quiet, and the soldiers only occasionally made some noise when they were drinking. After Zhuang Jihua drank everyone's toast, he gave a glass in return, and then stopped drinking, he was a little uneasy in his heart, but he didn't know where this uneasiness came from.

Although Zhuang Jihua stopped drinking, he was very clever and did not spoil the atmosphere, chatting all over the world, complimenting the female surname on the table, this set of skills was practiced by accompanying customers in his previous life.

Gong Xiuhua didn't approve of staying here to eat, but Peng Fentian wanted to stay, she had to stay, at the dinner table she was very dissatisfied with Zhuang Jihua's performance today, without losing cold sarcasm, Zhuang Jihua didn't care, cleverly turned her sarcasm into a joke; After a few times, Peng Fentian quietly stopped her.

After the meal, Zhuang Jihua was left in the Liu family compound by Liu Zhenen for the night, he tossed and turned in bed and couldn't sleep, and finally simply put on his clothes and went out for a walk in the courtyard.

Zhuang Jihua and they live in the guest courtyard of the Liu family's compound, the guest house is a small courtyard, even so, the courtyard is also piled up rockery fountains, fragrant flower beds, supplemented by green bamboo, lingering in the summer night, but also happy.

The Liu family's compound was quiet again, only the sound of bangzi sounded from time to time.

After the retreat, Zhuang Jihua sat on the edge of the pool and said to Song Yunfei behind him: "You can rest, I just can't sleep, I will walk." ”

Song Yunfei and Wu Ziniu lived next door to Zhuang Jihua, and the sound of Zhuang Jihua getting up alarmed them, Song Yunfei did not let Wu Ziniu get up, but came out to follow by himself.

"I'll be with you for a moment." Song Yunfei said lightly that since he "jumped ship", he has been focusing on Zhuang Jihua and standing quietly behind Zhuang Jihua.

"Forget it, you better rest, I want to be alone, too many things have happened in the past few months, I have to take care of it." Zhuang Jihua told Song Yunfei that he had to find out where the uneasiness came from.

Song Yunfei didn't speak again, turned around and left, leaving Zhuang Jihua to stay quietly by the pool.

The moonlight is like water, quietly pouring on the bamboo and flowers; The surroundings of the courtyard were quiet as usual, except for the occasional snoring in the room where Zeng had been enlarged.

Also unable to sleep is Liu Zhenen, who lives in the second wife's room today. The second wife is a famous Cantonese opera singer, and she still sings two sentences from time to time, and the original costume is still hung in the inner room. The second wife was leaning on Liu Zhenen's shoulder and whispered, "Master, what do you think of that chief Zhuang?" ”

"How's that?" After a busy day, Liu Zhenensi's eyes were slightly closed and she didn't know what she was thinking, and she didn't pay attention to the words of the second wife.

"Master, what are you thinking," the second wife coquettishly pulled Liu Zhenen's ear.

"Don't pull it, you say, I'll listen." Liu Zhenen smiled and took the second wife into his arms with his backhand, and at this time, Liu Zhenen didn't see the calm second wife in the living room at all, and said in a low voice: "Do you think Chief Zhuang is suitable for my Shu'er?" ”

"Oh," Liu Zhenen's hand gently stroked the second wife's smooth back, and after thinking about it, he said, "I see it difficult." ”

"Difficult? Why? The second wife looked at Liu Zhenen in confusion, loosened most of her belly pocket and slipped off, and her plump ** was exposed to the candlelight. Liu Zhenen didn't seem to pay attention at all, and still closed his eyes slightly.

"Master, Shu'er is 19 years old, I am such a daughter, I have to find a good family for her, otherwise I will not follow." The second wife shouted coquettishly. She sang on stage at the age of 15, married Liu Zhenen as a concubine at the age of 18, and gave birth to her daughter Liu Yinshu at the age of 20.

"Okay, you must find a good family, Shu'er is also my heart, don't worry, my second wife." Liu Zhenen coaxed the second wife, and the second wife was satisfied with Liu Zhenen's arms.

"If Zhuang Wenge is willing, I can hold a wedding for them tomorrow, but I'm afraid people won't want to." Liu Zhenen said in a low voice.

"Why? Is my family not worthy of his family or Shu'er is not worthy of him? He's not a big official. When the second wife heard this, she was anxious and wanted to get up again.

Liu Zhenen gently pressed her: "Big official? You're underestimating people. Although I haven't been to Guangzhou for a long time, it's not that I don't know the current situation. Why should I agree to rent and interest reduction today, this is the trend, it can't be stopped at all, the hard top can only be powdered, the tiger is too small, I don't understand it at all, it's good that the dragon is here. ”

"What does this have to do with Shu'er." The second wife asked suspiciously.

"You, you know Shu'er." Liu Zhenen patted her back gently, and the second wife twisted her body coquettishly: "Tell me, people don't understand anything, just talk about it." ”

"Zhuang Wenge was born in Huangpu, Huangpu is Chiang Kai-shek's power, and now Chiang Kai-shek is very popular in Guangzhou, and Chiang Kai-shek will definitely be able to go one step further. What about the Zhuang Cultural Revolution? Just look at the fact that he presided over the reorganization of the Sichuan Army at a young age, and his future is limitless in the future. Those wealthy businessmen in Guangzhou stared at him with many pairs of eyes, and they all wanted to send their daughters to his room. You see, as long as Chiang Kai-shek goes one step further, I don't know how many people will propose relatives to Zhuang Wenge. Liu Zhenen said lightly.

"Ah," the second wife suddenly became nervous, although the door of the Liu family is big, but who let Liu Yinshu out of her belly, and there are very few daughters who marry well: "Then, what about Shu'er?" Master, Shu'er is tempted by him. ”

"Oh, how do you know." Liu Zhenen was a little surprised, he knew that his child had been proposed since he was 16 years old, and many of them had a good family background, but they were either rejected by themselves or by his second wife.

"I'm her own mother, I don't know." The second wife said in a coquettish voice: "I don't believe that the Zhuang Cultural Revolution is a stone, so I won't be moved." Sir, you just have to think of a way. ”

"Not necessarily." Liu Zhenen's words gave the second wife hope: "I think this Zhuang Wenge is a new-school character, this new-school character is not interested in the matchmaker's words, and likes to fall in love freely, so the key is Shu'er." ”

The second wife seems to understand whether she understands or not, free love, she hasn't heard of this new term, but the Liu family is not allowed to do this in this style, and now the lord actually proposes free love, which means that the lord agrees with this marriage, and he has to talk to Shu tomorrow.

Early the next morning, Liu Kan called the whole company to prepare to leave, Liu Kanlian stayed in the Liu ancestral hall last night, and the four of them were also driven back to the company by Zhuang Jihua. Hearing the whistle, when the soldiers in the ancestral hall were hurriedly dressing, Zhong Bin ran out of the door, and Liu Kan was already standing at the door neatly dressed, so he asked if he was still out of trouble today, Liu Kan asked lightly Who said that he would not be out today, and you dare to break the rules of the Cultural Revolution? Qiu Qingquan, who came out with him, expressed doubts; Liu Kan sneered and wanted to make a bet with him, betting that Zhuang Jihua would not come to see them today. Qiu Qingquan didn't dare to bet, he had heard that Zhuang Jihua was out on time every day, and Zhuang Jihua also went to the ancestral hall last night to see the soldiers' accommodation. Sure enough, he didn't run far with his platoon when he saw Zhuang Jihua coming to the ancestral hall with Song Yunfei and Wu Ziniu, and Qiu Qingquan secretly stuck out his tongue.

When he arrived at the ancestral hall, Zhuang Jihua saw that Liu Kan was seriously training the soldiers, so he didn't disturb him, just stood by and observed, and only after he collected the soldiers did he tell Liu Kan that after breakfast, let the soldiers rest for a while, and then go back.

Then Zhuang Jihua first went to the peasant association to find Peng Fentian and Gong Xiuhua, and said goodbye to them, Peng Fentian was fine, but Gong Xiuhua did not give him a good face at all, she was still worried about Zhuang Jihua's performance yesterday, Peng Fentian was helpless, Zhuang Jihua didn't care, anyway, the etiquette was done.

When he returned to the Liu family's compound, Old Man Liu and Zeng Guangqing had been waiting for him in the living room for a long time, Liu Zhenen decided to touch Zhuang Jihua's attitude, and the second wife went to her daughter Liu Yinshu early in the morning, and the two of them whispered.

After Zhuang Jihua sat down, Yahuan brought breakfast, Zhuang Jihua did not refuse, Song Yunfei and Wu Ziniu didn't know what etiquette was, and the three of them gobbled up in the living room.

Liu Zhenen looked at the three of them with great interest, he had just found out some of Zhuang Jihua's situation from Zeng Guangqing's mouth, although Zeng Guangqing was not stupid, he was not the opponent of this old fox, and he was surrounded by the old fox in a few clicks, some of Zhuang Jihua's basic information was leaked, unmarried, not good, Huangpu student leader, leader of the reorganization team, fully responsible for the reorganization of the 20,000 Sichuan Army, etc., was completely tricked by the old fox. The situation revealed by Zeng Guangqing made Liu Zhenen more and more moved the more he listened, so he looked at Zhuang Jihua at this moment like a shareholder in his previous life who had found a potential stock with unlimited potential, which was extremely kind.

Just when Zhuang Jihua was eating, the second wife came out of the backyard with Liu Yinshu, and the mother and daughter were like two flowers, one mature and blooming, and the other budding to be released; One is full of charm, and the other is infinitely shy. Zeng Guangqing was thundered again, and even Song Yunfei lost his mind for a short time.

Zhuang Jihua was also stunned when he saw the well-dressed Liu Yinshu, a hot current rose from his lower abdomen, he quickly suppressed his distracting thoughts, and felt in a trance that last night's uneasiness was not on this woman.

"The Cultural Revolution started early." Liu Zhenen, who cut everything in his eyes, smiled faintly.

"Get used to it." Zhuang Jihua hid his embarrassment, and then looked at Liu Yinshu, who was snuggled up to his mother: "No way, I loosen one point here, and I have to loosen two points below, and let go down layer by layer, and the troops will cross without fighting." ”

"Well, that's the reason, when I was working with the prime minister to make a revolution, I hoped to have an iron army, and it seems that there is one now." Liu Zhenen sighed.

"I also heard that my predecessors once participated in the Xinhai Revolution, but for some reason... The rapids retreated. Zhuang Jihua asked.

"Rapids retreating? It's almost the same to say that it's discouraged. Liu Zhenen did not shy away from the events of that year: "After Xinhai, the revolutionary party was divided, fighting and grabbing, I can't look past it, it just happened that my father died of illness, I simply went home and let them fight for it, and the country was torn apart." ”

Zhuang Jihua sighed in his heart, this is another retreat, he was just about to speak, and a person ran in from outside the door, half of this person's body has been infiltrated by sweat, his hat is crooked, and his face is full of sweat, but he has no time to wipe it, when he saw Zhuang Jihua, he immediately stopped, gasped and said: "Report the report... Report. ”

Zhuang Jihua frowned and recognized it as Hu Qiru, and was shocked when he saw his embarrassed appearance, and immediately stood up and walked to him: "Something's wrong." ”

Hu Qiru whispered in his ear: "The Liao Party representative was assassinated, and Wushan asked you to go back quickly." ”

The thing he was worried about finally happened, Zhuang Jihua was dizzy, Hu Qiru helped him, helped Zhuang Jihua to sit down in the hall, and when he saw Zhuang Jihua's appearance, Liu Yinshu couldn't help but sigh, quickly poured a cup of herbal tea, and carefully tested the water temperature before bringing it to Zhuang Jihua.

Zhuang Jihua sat on the chair, his expression was miserable, he still couldn't defend left and right, he gritted his teeth and shouted: "He Jinhan, what are you doing to eat!" Waste, I let you watch them, why can't you watch them. ”

Zeng was shocked, he didn't know why Zhuang Jihua suddenly became angry with He Jinhan, could it be that it was Guangzhou that had an accident? Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shudder, could it be...

"Ziqing, what did you say happened, is it a school..." Zeng Guangqing stared at Hu Qiru in fear, but the latter was silent.

Zhuang Jihua stood up angrily, took the tea on the table and drank it dry, this cool water made him calm down a little, but the cup he put down was quietly taken away by a pair of white and delicate hands, and soon a cup of herbal tea was placed in front of him.

Zhuang Jihua walked up to Zeng Kuoqing, whispered about Liao Zhongkai's assassination, and then said to him: "I'll go back first, you and Liu Kan will lead the team back, and you must arrive before two o'clock in the afternoon, otherwise military law will be involved." Be careful on the road, since others dare to start in Guangzhou, they also dare to do it in Qingxin. Hu Qiru, you follow the expansion of brother and their actions. ”

Then he turned to Liu Zhenen and said, "I'm sorry, Senior Liu, I have something important to go back immediately, please forgive me." ”

Zhuang Jihua and their actions, of course Liu Zhenen knew that something big would happen, and hurriedly stood up: "Military affairs come first, Chief Zhuang please." ”

"Yunfei, Ziniu. Let's go first. After Zhuang Jihua finished speaking, he hurriedly went out.

As early as when Zhuang Jihua was helped into the living room, Song Yunfei and Wu Ziniu had already stood in front of the living room, looking around vigilantly. Hurry up at the moment.
