The first-class cabin where Kong Xiangxi lives is also a two-person room, but after Li Kongrong entered, he realized that although it was also a first-class cabin, compared to here, the room between himself and Lin Zhun was like a fourth-class cabin. The large living room, the gold-painted wallpaper, the luxurious furniture, the expensive floor, and the oil paintings that make people look red-faced, of course, what makes him most nervous is that Song Ailing looks at him, indescribably picky and contemptuous, as if he is a servant of tea.

"I heard that Ling Yi likes to talk to you?" Song Ailing clasped her hands in front of her chest, holding only a cup of ginseng tea. She looked at this naval major, he was indeed good-looking, but he seemed to lack some manliness, and his forehead sweated when she looked at him a few times.

"Madame Report, the inferior and the eldest lady just met by chance, and they chatted casually." Major Li Kongrong was a little cramped. He and his other self set a lot of rules, the most important of which is that the major events that happen every day must be written in a diary - the conversation with Miss Kong the night before was only a general record, the point is that 'good people are not rewarded', he probably didn't know that this casual conversation would make Song Ailing call him over for personal questioning.

"A casual chat?" Song Ailing, who was sitting on the sofa, was very dissatisfied, since yesterday her daughter said that she was sick and shrunk in the room, and did not eat, according to the investigation, she went to the bar the night before, and the waiter at the bar said that her daughter left angrily after talking to the man in front of her. For this reason, Song Ailing wanted to ask this naval lieutenant to come over and ask what he said to his daughter.

"Yes, ma'am." Li Kongrong didn't know the situation very well, but Song Ailing's face was extremely bad, and the iron was blue and the iron was blue.

"What did you say? Tell me about it! Song Ailing looked at Li Kongrong again, she didn't drink the tea anymore, and just threw it aside.

"Speaking of ...... at that time" Li Kongrong's head began to have black lines, and he coughed before saying: "I talked about the things when I got married to my wife, and the eldest lady listened attentively, and then I said that I ...... I like my wife because they have similar family backgrounds and similar upbringings, so I want my wife to know what she wants, and I know what my wife thinks......"

"Oh......" Song Ailing looked at him, feeling a little surprised, she was first worried that this handsome naval lieutenant would seduce her baby daughter for some purpose, and the other was worried that young people nowadays are boldly pursuing love, and he might encourage his daughter to go against him. Both of these are not allowed by her, especially the former.

"Is that so?" Song Ailing was still a little suspicious, she didn't expect this young man's thinking to be so 'backward'.

"Yes, ma'am." Li Kongrong was sweating in his heart, he only hoped that the other person had written nothing wrong in his diary. "I conclude by saying that young people love ...... Thinking about it, I am also energetic, but after a long time, I know how important it is to find someone with a similar family background, similar experience, and opposite personality. The eldest lady probably didn't want to hear this, so I'll finish speaking... I said that she was gone. ”

"Well said! Well said! "Song Ailing silently recited the three words 'similar family background, similar experience, and relative personality', and couldn't help but look at Li Kongrong a few more times. She is a person from the past, of course she knows the meaning of this word, and this word is basically the meaning of 'the right person', she and her husband have also persuaded their daughter in the past few years. That Chen Jien is indeed a talent, but his family background is so low, not to mention that the two of them lost the face of the Kong family when they got married, and the two of them may not have a good life in the future, what if Chen Jien took a fancy to the power of the Kong family to please his daughter?

She praised two sentences here, and then said, "What did Lingyi say?" ”

"Eldest Miss......" Hearing that Song Ailing said that she said it well, Li Kongrong finally put down a big stone in his heart. Although he knew what Kong Lingyi had scolded, he didn't dare to say it, he only said: "The eldest lady left when she was angry and didn't say anything." ”

"Didn't say anything?" Song Ailing laughed, "With her temperament, she must have scolded you." ”

She said that Li Kongrong was not easy to object, so she only kept silent, and Song Ailing finally picked up the cup of ginseng tea, and she took a shallow sip before saying: "You are Yongzhi's adjutant, but Yongzhi has two adjutants, and I heard that the British coronation ceremony arranged another adjutant." Why, don't you like to be lively? The coronation of the British king is a world event. ”

"Madam, I am humbled because I have to go to Germany to buy submarines...... Temporary entry into the delegation. Therefore, according to the arrangement of the ministry, I will not go to England, so that I can have more time to go to Germany to understand the situation. Li Kongrong seemed to feel Song Ailing's kindness, but thinking that the ministry had already arranged it, he had to tell the truth.

"Is that so?" Song Ailing looked at him, but after looking at him for a while, she retracted her gaze and returned to that invincible appearance, she said, "Okay, it's okay, you can go back." ”

"Yes, ma'am." Li Kongrong's somewhat numb legs finally turned around and walked out of this top suite, and when he stayed outside, he breathed a heavy sigh of relief. He vowed to warn his other self in his diary never to provoke the Confucian family again, otherwise he would turn his face and confine him in confinement - three days and three nights without sleeping.

"You kid!" With this thought, Li Kongrong, who was about to return to the cabin and write in the diary, was stopped by Zhou Yingcong, who rushed in, before he entered the door. Obviously, he had also heard that Madame Kong had asked her servants to ask him to talk. "How dare you provoke Miss Kong?!" Zhou Yingcong pulled Li Kongrong aside and asked reproachfully.

"How to provoke?" Li Kongrong shook off his arm and said, "It's nothing." I'm a family man. ”

"You still dance with Miss Kong in your family?" Zhou Yingcong didn't quite know what was going on, but he knew that it would definitely be nothing good to be called by Mrs. Kong. "People say that you are a toad who wants to eat swan meat and seduce Miss Kong."

"Fart!" When honest people are angry, Li Kongrong said angrily, "What's the matter! Didn't you make me dance? ”

"I made you jump?!" Zhou Yingcong pointed to his nose and said with a smile: "When did I let you dance with Miss Kong?" ”

"You!" Li Kongrong glared at Zhou Yingcong for a long time before he said, "Didn't you say don't refuse a woman's request at the ball?" This is what you will say when prom etiquette, you don't say you forgot! ”

didn't expect to pull out this play, Zhou Yingcong was immediately dumbfounded, but he did say so at the time, but ......, he said: "Okay, let's not talk about dancing, you don't talk to Miss Kong in the future, she is now messing with her family." ”

"I'll talk to her again, and I'll be my brother!" As soon as Li Kongrong was excited, Fuzhou dialect came out. When he was angry, he was bold and immediately asked, "What do you say about the submarine?" I'll be blunt, I just want to be the captain, what commander is not the commander, I don't care! ”

Chen Shaokuan decided to let him go back, he didn't want him to dream of being a captain, Zhou Yingcong sneered, he felt that he should appease him first, so he said: "Now Mr. Yongzhi hasn't nodded and said to buy a few submarines." If there are fifteen, of course you can be the captain. ”

"I don't fight with Zun! The first one is his, of course, but the second one should be mine. Li Kongrong looked at Zhou Yingcong, "I don't care about anything else, I just want to drive a submarine to fight the Japanese!" ”

By this time, Major Li Kongrong had come to believe that there would be a major war between China and Japan, and he agreed with the idea of getting a submarine before the war. Don't think about any wolf pack tactics, but even if you attack in a single boat, with the results obtained by the two people together, you can be proud of your colleagues and be rewarded by the party and the state. That's enough, there are achievements, and the family background is all fart.

Li Kongrong expressed his heart directly, but Zhou Yingcong laughed. He concluded: "I will let the minister think about it." ”

"Consider?!" Li Kongrong was puzzled, "Now just me and Zunzhi, what else do you have to consider?" ”

"Brother Shaosheng......" Zhou Yingcong lit a cigarette, and at the same time handed Li Kongrong one, and only after both of them lit it did he say: "You don't know, the navy has only added two ships in Ninghai and Pinghai in the past ten years, and now I heard that the ministry wants to buy German submarines, and those people, not to mention majors, even colonels want to be able to be a captain." It's okay to buy fifteen ships, you must have a share, but if you buy three or five ships, one or two ......, there are more people with higher ranks, older qualifications, and deep connections than you, you say, why did the minister appoint you as the captain? You're a engineer!

In my opinion, you should do your best to get the time done when you go to Germany, and the minister may agree as soon as he is happy. So those who rush to be captains have nothing to say. ”

Zhou Yingcong was stunned halfway through his words, Li Kongrong was stunned, after all, he was still an errand runner, he went to Germany just to marry someone, his mind was in chaos, and after Zhou Yingcong finished speaking, he stammered: "This... This... There's always... First come, first served. ”

"Dude, this isn't a queue!" Zhou Yingcong looked at poor Li Kongrong, and there was one sentence that he couldn't say: Whoever asked you to offend Lin Zhun, even if you stayed in Germany, Lin Zhun, the chief official, would not give you good fruits to eat. "You better go back and practice your German and think about how to open up in Germany." If you can satisfy the minister with the matter of buying submarines, maybe you, the captain, will be the captain. He encouraged again, and then warned Miss Kong not to mess with Miss Kong and walked away easily.

Major Li's problem is Li Kongrong's problem. When he woke up at night to the sound of Lin Zhun's snoring, he saw this thorny problem in his diary -- not to mention being the deputy commander of the submarine fleet, I am afraid that he could not even be the captain of the boat. That's not easy! If you can't be the captain of the boat, you can only go back to China to lay mines, what can be the point of this? Bomb a civilian ship requisitioned by the Japanese?

Then there is status and fame. With a submarine, he could go to Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941 two hundred and twenty nautical miles north of Pearl Harbor to wait for the Japanese mobile troops, and if he was lucky enough to sink one when the devil aircraft carrier put the plane straight forward, then he would be a hero of the Navy! In this way, he, a naval hero, can be worthy of the popular singer of his little wife. If he is just a major who lays mines, he has no prestige and no status, and when the time comes, anyone will dare to step on a few feet, and maybe the woman will be robbed by others

-- Chen Jiliang, the commander of the dignified fleet, once took in a concubine, the daughter of the owner of a small slate shop in Xiamen (it is said that the Fujian woman is the most beautiful in Xiamen, with a beautiful face and a graceful figure, and this woman is the leader among tens of thousands of girls in Xiamen, and is known as the flower of Ludao), and is pregnant with his child, but he did not expect that this concubine was actually robbed by Lin Erkang's son, and she was tired of playing for several years before she was released. [note 7]

Li Kongrong couldn't believe it when he heard his colleagues on the Chuguan in the middle of the night talk about this, but this is the case, Chen Jiliang tabooed that the other party was a Japanese in Taiwan, that is, a Taiwanese with Japanese nationality, and this person lived in Fuzhou, and it seemed that he was still the president of the Taiwan Association, so the concubine was robbed, and the fleet commander had to swallow his anger. I thought I would never see each other again for the rest of my life, but people got tired of playing for a few years, and they disliked being a second-hand product with someone else's child, so they kicked it back.

In the consideration of fleet commander Chen Jiliang, 'not being able to offend the Japanese' must be the fundamental reason for swallowing his anger, but for a big naval engineer major, no one can afford to offend, which is equivalent to saying that anyone can snatch his little wife away! Thinking of this, his face suddenly became hideous, and the peach wood in his hand was even more clutched, bent so that it was about to break.

"The long night is long and I don't want to sleep, and Major Li will also have troubles?" Like a ghost, Kong Lingyi appeared in front of Li Kongrong with a smile, she seemed to be in the bar for a long time.

"How are you?!" Li Kongrong's face finally calmed down, and the peach wood that was about to break was also put down, he looked at Kong Lingyi quite unpleasantly at this time, and only said: "Miss, please go back, a lowly villain like me will tarnish your name if you are not careful, and then your mother will ask me to lecture again, no one can afford to offend me, a big major!" ”

"What happened that day was my fault, I invited you to drink, and I made amends to you." Kong Lingyi said in a harmonious voice, of course she heard someone say that her mother asked Li Kongrong for questioning, and she did misunderstand that day. People and their wives are in love, and they naturally feel that it doesn't matter if what they say is right or not, but the purpose is for their own good-Kong Lingyi, who has always been kind-hearted, thinks so.

After all, she is the eldest lady of the Kong family, and Li Kongrong, who is very important, is not easy to offend, when the white-clothed waiter brought the wine, the two touched it gently, and he was depressed and only did a small half, but Kong Lingyi dried the whole cup.

"Major Li is worried about love?" After doing it, Kong Lingyi smiled and had a rare cheerfulness, and she asked in the tone of Li Kongrong that night.

"yes." Li Kongrong, who had drunk strong alcohol and began to faint in his brain, did not hide it, "I am a little naval major, and I can't afford to offend anyone, so I really don't have a good life." What's even more unpleasant is that my wife is too beautiful, what if she is robbed?! ”

"Haha......" Kong Lingyi laughed, "The Republic of China is a civilized and legal society, and it is illegal to rob people's daughters, who would dare to rob the wives of soldiers!" Major Li was worried about this in the middle of the night? ”

The thinking of the second generation of officials and ordinary people is definitely different, and the dizzy Li Kongrong squinted at her and said, "The eldest lady is clothed and fed, so naturally she doesn't know the suffering of inferior people." Robbing a woman is really nothing, even killing people and setting fires, as long as it is big, it is just to pay some funeral expenses. I was worried that I would die in the ocean in the future, so I encouraged her to come out and show her face, so as not to lose her livelihood in the future. But if a woman makes a name for herself outside, I am not worthy of her, the person who beats her idea...... The one who hit her idea... Would definitely ......"

The strength of the wine finally came up, and Li Kongrong, who felt that the world was spinning, felt that his tongue began to knot as he spoke, and then ...... 'bang', his head smashed on the table, and he actually fell asleep like this.

"What a half-cup pour!" Kong Lingyi was a little overwhelmed at first, but after pushing him a few times, he found that he had indeed fallen asleep and was a little disdainful, the amount of wine was too bad, only half a glass of Scotch whisky.

With no one to talk to, she wanted to leave, but when she saw the corner of the photo that was easy to use as a bookmark this week, she pulled the book out from under Li Kongrong's arm, and when she opened it, she saw a four-inch photo. The photograph makes her breathe short—a woman in a white off-the-shoulder wedding dress snuggles tenderly into Ms. Lee's arms, her eyes closed and her face tilted sideways to kiss her husband, who bows his head behind her. The wedding dress is beautiful, the woman's collarbone, thin neck, pretty face...... is more beautiful, but what makes Kong Lingyi's heart hot is the sweetness and happiness of the woman immersed in perfect love, which is exactly what she wants but can't.

After reading it for a full minute, Kong Lingyi carefully put the photo back, and then pressed the book under Li Kongrong's arm again, she wanted to leave but thought of something, and after a while, a small piece of paper from the bar was also sandwiched into the book, which read: 'You can rest assured of your little wife, whoever dares to rob her, I will help you let Ling Wei deal with him!' The signature is 'The Envious Lingyi Girl'.
