In fact, Lu Xiaoman and Wang Geng have been hiding upstairs and eavesdropping, this kind of love triangle has always been Lu Xiaoman's favorite, she even prepared a handkerchief to wipe her tears, ready to listen to a tear-jerking vow, but she heard a logical and calm analysis of international relations.

Lu Xiaoman was a little disappointed, but Wang Geng was overwhelmed, and said that Chen Zikun deserves to be our West Point alumni!

This matter has to be put on ordinary people, there are no more than three results, one is to sacrifice personal happiness for the family, and Xiao Lang is a passerby from now on; the second is the martyrdom of both people, using death to indict the cruel reality; The third is to abandon all worldly shackles and elope, and since then there has been no news from the ends of the earth.

But none of these expected bitter scenes were staged, Chen Zikun directly hit the nail on the head, and dispelled all Yao Yilei's concerns in a few words. couldn't help but let Wang Geng high-five and admire.

Seeing Lu Xiaoman and his wife appear, Yao Yilei was slightly embarrassed, but she quickly returned to nature, she was not the kind of shy girl, when Lu Xiaoman was a good girl in the French Sacred Heart School, Yao Yilei was already a witch in the mixed world in Beijing's social circle, as the saying goes, the country is easy to change and the nature is difficult to change, don't look at her age A few years older, she seems to be much more stable than before, in fact, she is still as bold as before, love and hate.

Suddenly, the clouds and the sun were cleared, the haze was swept away, Yao Yilei's mood was very good, and the whole person looked much brighter, Lu Xiaoman knew that the two of them must have a thousand words to say at this moment, so he pulled Wang Geng to avoid it, and created a two-person world for Chen Zikun and Yao Yilei.

"You...... There must be no shortage of women around. After being silent for a long time, Yao Yilei asked.

"I'm not married." When Chen Zikun said this, he was a little weak-hearted, Jian Bing was clamoring to come to Beijing for the summer, but he couldn't make the trip because of the house problem, if the two women got together, then his good life would come to an end.

Yao Yilei smiled faintly: "Not getting married doesn't mean that there are no women, there must be women around an excellent man like you, by the way, where do you live?" ”

"Still living in the old place." Chan had a premonition that something was wrong.

Yao Yilei continued: "Your identity is different now, you are also an official of the Ministry of War, go back and find a house that is not big or small, I still have some savings here, buy it and paint it, add some furniture or something, it looks like a mansion, and you always live in a car factory." ”

Seeing Chen Zikun's embarrassed appearance, Yao Yilei felt like a mirror in her heart, and said: "Don't worry, I still have to deal with the affairs at home, what about you, also hurry up and dismiss those Yingying Yanyan and confidantes, I estimate that three months is enough...... What do you do in the War Department? ”

Chen Zikun replied honestly: "The third-class staff member of the general affairs department is in charge of the tea furnace room. ”

"That's a bit low, my parents won't be satisfied." Yao Yilei pondered for a moment and said: "The chief of the army is concurrently served by Premier Zhang Shaozeng, this person is still very measured, and he will never fight Wu Peifu for you, but Jin Yongyan, the deputy minister who is currently in charge of the Ministry of the Army, is a shameless villain, maybe he is deliberately giving you small shoes to wear." ”

Chen Zikun said: "But I haven't offended him, I came to Beijing this time, and these fists haven't opened meat yet." ”

Yao Yilei said: "There is another possibility, Wu Peifu is deliberately honing your heart, you must control your emotions, don't show complaining, but do your best to manage the tea room, I think it won't take a few months, you will soar." ”

Although Chen Zikun did not agree with this statement, he was still surprised: "Where did you learn these ways of officialdom?" ”

Yao Yilei sighed and said: "Anyway, I am also a young lady from an official eunuch's family, my father was the deputy chief of transportation, my grandfather was a Taoist in the former Qing Dynasty, and my grandfather used to be Li Hongzhang's staff. ”

Chen Zikun said: "Then why don't you see your political marriage issue clearly. ”

"If you care about yourself, it's messy, besides, the height of the problem is different, Daddy is full of the position of vice president, I am full of my own happiness, and no one thinks about that level."

The two of them conspired in the living room of Wang Geng's house for a long time like conspirators, and waited for Wang Geng and Lu Xiaoman and his wife to come back before hurriedly saying goodbye and leaving. Go back to Yao Mansion to pick out Ming or elope? ”

Lu Xiaoman said: "According to Miss Yao's temper, I probably went to the Six Nations Hotel to cook the raw rice into rice." ”

"What raw rice? What cooked rice? Wang Geng said ignorantly.

"Let you pretend." Lu Xiaoman pinched the soft flesh on Wang Geng's waist and was about to pinch it violently, when he suddenly saw a rickshaw driving over in the distance, and there was a handsome man with a worried brow sitting on the car, it was the poet Xu Zhimo.

Lu Xiaoman's pinching hand suddenly stopped, and affectionately grabbed Wang Geng's arm, and the couple waited for Xu Zhimo to come to the door, and greeted warmly: "Shima, you are here." The poet was expressionless, just nodded indifferently.

Welcomed Xu Zhimo into the living room, poured coffee and handed over paper cigarettes, the poet's spirit was very sluggish, a lock of soft hair hung down on his forehead, extremely decadent, took a few puffs of cigarettes, and said gloomily: "I fell out of love." ”

"Shima, are you out of love again?" Wang Geng was surprised.

"Yes, my wandering heart has never found a harbor to rest, and yesterday, Hui Yin and Si Cheng were engaged, and the source of my poetry has since dried up, and my muse has abandoned me forever." Xu Zhimo suddenly put his ten fingers into his hair, and trembled hysterically.

Wang Geng rubbed his hands, he didn't know how to comfort him, Liang Qichao and Lin Changmin had already decided to kiss the baby, and now Liang Qichao's eldest son Liang Sicheng and Lin Huiyin's marriage is also favored and blessed by everyone, although Xu Zhimo abandoned his pregnant wife Zhang Youyi for Lin Huiyin, but the Lin family has never officially recognized his identity as a coquetter in the east bed, and now the newcomer laughs at the old man and cries, which is also a cycle of cause and effect, and the retribution is on his head.

The public always has an inexplicable sympathy for lovelorns and a sense of trouble, and Wang Geng and his wife are the same, listening to Xu Zhimo tell about the past with Lin Huiyin Qingqing and me when he was in London, the two of them are also embarrassed, but Wang Geng takes out his pocket watch from time to time to look at it, and finally has to say: "Shima, there is an important military meeting in the ministry, and I must attend." ”

Lu Xiaoman said: "You go, I'll accompany Shima." ”

Xu Zhimo's face was like ashes, he didn't say a word, Wang Geng was a little uneasy, Lu Xiaoman waved his hand to signal him to leave quickly, he half-squatted in front of Xu Zhimo, grabbed his hand and persuaded: "Shima, don't be depressed......"

Wang Geng nodded, picked up his cane and coat, and went out.

……

Chen Zikun and Yao Yilei did not go to the Six Nations Hotel to open a room, but went back to prepare, today's Yao Yilei is no longer the coquettish and petty young lady who loves to play a little temper back then, the Yao family has experienced ups and downs in recent years, and has also exercised her temperament, either she doesn't make a move, and she is nirvana.

At present, the most important issue in front of Chen Zikun is his military rank and position, he does not think that Wu Peifu will deliberately arrange his rank of lieutenant, if that is the case, he will not be awarded the rank of colonel when he is in Luoyang, there must be villains in this.

He wrote two letters, one to Wu Dashuai in Luoyang, directly stating his experience at the War Department, and the other to Jianbing in Shanghai, asking her to come forward to St. John's University to issue her academic certificate.

The two letters were written quickly, Chen Zikun personally went to the post office to send them, and on the way back, he thought of one thing, so he turned around to the police department to find Xu Guodong and asked him about one thing, how the four apprentices who molested girls on the street during the Chinese New Year were dealt with.

Seeing Chen Zikun personally come to the door for help, Xu Guodong didn't dare to slack off, but this matter was not handled by the detective team, and he could only go to the patrol police station to inquire, but the result was unexpected, there was no case record in the patrol police station, but the police on duty still remembered the incident and told them that the four Hua Tai Sui were personally called by the police director to ask for release, and the background was quite good.

Chen Zikun vaguely guessed something, and asked Xu Guodong: "How many Pontique cars are there in Beijing, and can you find the name of the registrant?" ”

This matter is not difficult for Xu Guodong, he immediately took Chen Zikun to the vehicle registration office to check the file, the car is no better than the rickshaw, the whole Beijing is only a few hundred, search and quickly found all the Pontic car registration certificates, one of which is very dazzling.

Registrant: Kim Yong-yan, the occupation column is filled in with the deputy minister of the War Department.

Chen Zikun understood, Xu Guodong also understood, and the detective captain didn't rub sand in his eyes: "Brother, don't care whether it's the chief or the second chief, let's do the same, as long as you say a word, my brother will never be ambiguous." ”

"Don't worry, he looks good." The situation between the enemy and us is clear, Chen Zikun is more calm, the name of the deputy minister of the War Department looks bluffing, but in fact, it is not bullshit, the power is all in the hands of Cao and Wu, Jin Yongyan dares to give himself small shoes to wear, that is, he will not give Wu Peifu face, offend Wu Dashuai, and Jin Yongyan's position as deputy chief will not last long.

After thanking Xu Guodong, Chen Zikun returned to the Ziguang Depot, and Baoqing took out a post and told him excitedly: "Mr. Liang Qichao sent someone to send an invitation to invite you to the banquet." ”

Chen Zikun was taken aback, Liang Qichao is such a popular figure, since the former Qing Dynasty, he has been famous all over the world, after the Republic of China, his prestige is even more prosperous, whether it is in the eyes of scholars or peddlers, Mr. Liang is a god-like existence, the last time I saw him in the Crescent Society, Mr. Liang mentioned that he wanted to invite himself to come over to the house, and at that time I thought it was a polite word, but I didn't expect it to be true.
