Chapter 18: Who Uses Whom?
In the backyard of the resting house, on the bright moon of the snowy night, in the middle of a Huanghuali Changxiang case, there is a three-foot-high red-faced bronze statue of Guan Gong.
I don't know whether it is true or fake, next to the Xuande furnace, there are two silver candlesticks, and the two thick red candles are shining with dark red flames and gently fluttering in the cold wind.
Two plates of dim sum and two plates of vegetarian fruits are placed in front of the Xuande furnace.
On the left side of the incense case, Mrs. Jiang, who was wearing a dark green jade button cheongsam and a young ferret shawl on her shoulders, stood there with a graceful and luxurious smile on her face, not knowing what she was thinking.
On the right side, Wang Shihe caught a bloodcrested rooster out of nowhere and carried it in his left hand, holding a cold and shining kitchen knife in his right hand.
Next to Wang Shihe, Tang Zong and Dai Yunong were holding three high incense sticks in their hands, which were obviously prepared for Chairman Jiang and Commander Cheng.
As soon as the auspicious time arrived, Lao Jiang and Cheng Gong first took the high incense from Tang Zong and Dai Yunong, saluted Guan Erye with a solemn expression, and then knelt on the futon in front of the incense case.
"The sky is above, Guan Erye is in front, I Jiang/Jie/Shi, the word is positive, today I am willing to marry Cheng Jincheng as brothers with different surnames, share blessings and blessings, share difficulties, share honor and disgrace, advance and retreat together, do not seek to be born in the same year, the same month and the same day, but to die in the same year, the same month and the same day! If there is a joke, you will not die well, and you will be cut off from your children and grandchildren! ”
No way! Lao Jiang, aren't you, you actually swore this poisonous oath in front of Second Master Guan!
Cheng Gong was depressed in his heart, so he mentioned it. But no matter what happens now, I can only catch ducks on the shelves.
"The sky is above, Guan Erye is in front, I am Cheng Jincheng, the word is peaceful, today I am willing to be brothers with Jiang Zhongzheng with different surnames, share blessings and hardships, share weal and woe, advance and retreat together. I don't want to be born on the same day and month of the same year, but I want to die on the same day of the same month and month of the same year. ”
Although Cheng Gong read it like this in his mouth, he said vigorously in his heart: Anyway, I am Cheng Gong, Cheng Jincheng, Cheng Weihe, those are all pseudonyms, and they can't be taken seriously. If there is really a god in this world, then a thunderbolt will split the buddy back! Even if I miss QQ, WeChat, Crossfire, League of Legends......
Cheng Gong and Lao Jiang kowtowed three times to the sky and the statue of Guan Gong, and then got up and wrote their respective vows on the yellow paper handed by Madame Jiang and exchanged them with each other.
Immediately afterwards, Wang Shihe cut off the head of the rooster with a knife, put the chicken blood wine on the yellow paper in the hands of Lao Jiang and Cheng Gong, and the two of them lit the yellow paper with incense candles at the same time and turned it into ashes in the incense burner.
At this time, Tang Zong opened a jar of aged Shaoxing old wine placed next to the incense case, poured a large bowl of a large wine, and then pulled out the Zhongzheng sword he was wearing and presented it to Lao Jiang with both hands.
Lao Jiang took the Zhongzheng Sword, cut the thumb of his right hand with the sharp tip of the sword, squeezed out a slip of blood and dripped it in the wine bowl, and then handed the Zhongzheng Sword to Cheng Gong.
Cheng Gong did the same, and secretly instructed TX to open the protective layer of the fingers of his right hand, use the Zhongzheng sword to break the index finger, squeeze out a few drops of blood and drop them into the same wine bowl, shake the wine bowl for a while, and then hand the wine bowl to Lao Jiang.
Lao Jiang, who had never drunk alcohol, took it with both hands, raised his head and took a big sip, and then handed the remaining wine back to Cheng Gong with both hands.
Cheng Gong took it and raised the bowl to drink the wine in the bowl in one gulp, and then slammed the bowl to the ground.
Ignoring the blood still dripping from their hands, the two of them clasped their right palms tightly together, and then looked at each other.
"Virtuous brother!"
"Big brother!"
"Papa, Papa, Papa......" Mrs. Jiang, Wang Shihe, Tang Zong, and Dai Yunong, who were watching the ceremony, clapped their hands and applauded at this time.
"Zhongzheng, Jin Cheng, this head has also been drunk with blood and wine, you two hurry up and treat and disinfect the wounds on your hands first." Mrs. Jiang took out a white silk scarf from her arms, tore it into two, and handed it to Lao Jiang and Cheng Gong respectively.
"What is such a small injury!" Lao Jiang smiled very boldly, but he still took the silk scarf and wrapped his fingers.
"Thank you, sister-in-law." Cheng Gong nodded politely at Mrs. Jiang and bowed his hand, took the silk scarf with both hands, and wrapped it around his right hand casually.
"I think you two brothers should go and get some medicine first and disinfect it with alcohol, otherwise it will be troublesome if the wound is infected." Madame Jiang smiled carefully and persuaded Old Jiang and Cheng Gong.
"Where is it so exquisite, Jin Cheng and I have both been on the battlefield and fought with the enemy." Old Jiang Hao waved his big hand angrily, looked at Cheng Gong disappetically and said with a smile: "Brother Xian, did you say it?" ”
"Look at it in the future, big brother, it's right that you still listen to your sister-in-law." Cheng Gong said with a smile: "You are in danger of the safety of the party and the state, and you can't make any mistakes." ”
"Bench, Commander Cheng, I have already arranged a table of banquets, aren't you two?"
Wang Shihe was quite thoughtful, and he knew that on this occasion in front of him, it was indispensable to have another family banquet.
"That's a must!" Cheng Gong put his arm on Lao Jiang's shoulder and walked towards the house, "I heard that the eldest brother didn't drink alcohol before, but today you have to give the younger brother face, and our brothers won't return home if they don't get drunk!" ”
Obviously, Commander Cheng was a little cautious, and planned to get Lao Jiang drunk and take a small revenge first.
Anyway, with TX protection, Cheng Gong will not be fine no matter how much wine he drinks.
On this night, Chairman Chiang was unable to escape the "poisonous hands" of the commander, and for the first time since the victory of the Northern Expedition, he was very drunk. Cheng Gong was complained about by Mrs. Jiang.
was dragged by Lao Jiang to worship the handle, although Cheng Gong felt a little awkward, but in fact, Cheng Gong also understood that at the moment, there is an old Jiang who is a righteous brother, and he is absolutely equal to the emperor's relatives and relatives in the Republic of China.
Since they are using each other, it depends on who is more skilled in the end.
For the little bend in Lao Jiang's belly, Cheng Gong can basically guess eight or nine.
Lao Jiang obviously saw that Cheng Gong was restrained by the more mysterious "River Crab" organization, and he could not develop forces in China to grab territory. From this point alone, Lao Jiang was greatly relieved of Cheng Gong.
As long as you don't compete with him Lao Jiang for territory, you can do whatever you want to do the rest.
Isn't it just the population that wants more, we don't have anything else in the Republic of China, there are many people!
In the final analysis, in fact, Lao Jiang coveted the big cake that Cheng Gong painted for him.
Because if this big cake can really be eaten, then his old Jiang Ke can really become comparable to the Meihan Wu Tang Sect, which can be called the first emperor of the ages.
As for how much weight it is to kowtow, hehe! Commander Cheng could only say hehe.
Although the state apparatus of the national government is not good to the outside world, it has the absolute power of life and death for those ordinary people in the country.
The Nationalist Government came forward to act as a guarantor, and to recruit a group of laborers in various provinces in East China, Central China, and South China to work abroad to earn foreign exchange to support the national war of resistance.
Originally, there were some sour people who thought that this was the national government selling piglets in disguise, but this voice was quickly drowned out by the cries of the huge solidarity group.
The reason is very simple, all the piglets sold are young and strong laborers. But this "Jincheng International Foundation" is a family of all ages, men and women! And it is also specially noted that not every family doesn't want it!
This strange phenomenon soon attracted the close attention of some well-intentioned people.
"JC International Consortium", what kind of multinational consortium is this? Why hasn't anyone ever heard of it before?
