Chapter Ninety-Five: The Lobbyist

Xiao Yimin took the civilian clothes handed over by the guards and quickly put them on, greeted Yang Shu with a spring breeze on his face, and saw Liu Yu behind Liu Bingxian with a blushing face, Xiao Yimin was suddenly embarrassed, and asked in a low voice with a smile: "Second brother, has the matter of my little sister's enrollment been done?" ”

Liu Bingxian glanced lovingly at his sister hiding behind him:

"It's done, my father and I both wanted her to study at Yucheng Normal College, but she had to go to Chengdu to study medicine, so she couldn't be embarrassed by it, so I had to let her go, if it weren't for your big face, the German president of Chengdu Medical College and a group of professors would not accept her."

Xiao Yimin was stunned for a moment, and soon smiled again:

"It's good to study medicine, it's good to study medicine! The heart of the doctor's parents! What our country lacks is such practical talents, and a skill that can be used for a lifetime is a hundred times stronger than those so-called celebrities who are always full of mouths and pop up a few words from time to time, haha! ”

Yang Shukan on the side rolled his eyes angrily, Liu Bingxian saw that Xiao Yimin didn't give Yang Shukan face when he first met, so he could only hold back a smile and turn his head to the side.

Liu Yu, who had bright eyes and bright teeth, was even more uneasy, lowered his head and took half a step forward, shouted "Third Brother" in a low voice, and immediately retracted Liu Bingxian in a panic, which could be regarded as a salute to Xiao Yimin.

Yi Zhenying, who was holding her son, came up in time, saluted Yang Shukan and Liu Bingxian, and enthusiastically took the hand of Liu Yu, who was as beautiful as a fairy, and walked in.

When Liu Yu saw the cute little guy, he immediately forgot to be shy and reserved, holding Xiao Nanzheng's little hand while walking and teasing, and soon entered the main hall with Yi Zhenying.

Several personal guards rushed to the backyard room under the instruction of Wu San, the chief of the guard, and told the masters to add a few dishes immediately and bring them to the back mountain as soon as possible to set up a banquet.

Everyone entered the main hall and sat down to drink tea, Yang Shukan saw that Xiao Yimin was still wearing a pair of old military pants and a dark green British round-neck short-sleeved shirt, which seemed to have no intention of changing clothes to welcome guests, and talked to Liu Bingxian with a big grin as before, and didn't pay attention to others for a while, Yang Shukan's face was even more displeased, and finally couldn't help but put down the teacup, stared at the round eyes and asked: "Xiao Yiming, usually you treat guests like this?" ”

Xiao Yimin looked at Yang Shukan in surprise:

"Brother Pale, when are you considered a guest? Oh! Forget your prominent status as the deputy secretary general of the Kuomintang now, do you want your younger brother to change into a lieutenant general dress to greet you? Let's say it first, as long as I change into a military uniform, you have to speak honestly, and leave after speaking, and the younger brother doesn't care. ”

Liu Bingxian, Bao Jiqing and others laughed, Yang Shukan looked stupid, but his heart felt much better: this grandson is still the former Xiao Yimin, and he still treats him Yang Shukan as his brother.

Yang Shukan took a few more sips of tea, and just wanted to say something serious, Xiao Yimin had already stood up, and said with a smile that a few old brothers came at the right time, and they would not be drunk tonight, and then beckoned everyone to walk to the backyard together.

The back garden of the Xiao family compound, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, refreshing and pleasant, the red moon season is blooming brightly, the two loquat trees on the east side of the fence are full of golden loquats, the peach and plum in the garden are giving birth to fruits, and a plum forest around the hill and the pavilion is still standing proudly in the wind.

Entering the pavilion on the top of the hill, Yang Shukan overlooked the beautiful eyes and sighed with great emotion:

"It's been two years in the blink of an eye, two years ago, we were still talking and scolding Fang Yu together, two years later, you have become Vice Chairman Xiao of the Chinese Ming Cooking Party, but my brother and I have to avoid being wanted and die in Dongying, only this courtyard, this scenery, is still the same as before!"

Xiao Yimin was pouring tea for everyone, and when he saw Yang Shukan's nerdy attack, he couldn't help but sarcastically:

"Come on! President Yuan's wanted warrant is useful for ordinary people, but it is useful for you revolutionary party leaders, who doesn't know that police stations, garrisons, and business circles along the coast are full of your party members? Otherwise, how could Brother Pale come and go freely?

"Don't get cheap and sell well, if you really want to talk about it, my younger brother still envies you high-ranking Kuomintang officials, you don't have to work hard to make money, you can have a lot of money from capitalists and patriotic overseas Chinese everywhere with a few words; You don't have to worry about the firewood, rice, oil, and salt of all your subordinates, just write a few letters of appointment printed by yourself, and you can make thousands of people throw their heads and spill their blood

"Once your career is frustrated or you are in a bad mood, you can shake your sleeves and run to Yuben for a vacation, soak in hot springs, play with Yuben women, eat and drink at public expense every day, and enjoy the full service of obedient Yuben women, tsk...... Don't talk about it, if you talk about it, you'll get on fire, drink tea, drink tea! ”

The brothers burst into laughter, Yang Shukan was furious, and suddenly raised his hand to point at Xiao Yimin, but he couldn't say a word.

Liu Bingxian took the opportunity to pull Yang Shukan to the seat, picked up the teacup and handed it to him:

"Have a cup of tea, don't quarrel with Yiming, this guy's eloquence is getting better and better, as long as he grabs the slightest handle, he can kill you, his stinky mouth is extremely mean, he dares to say any, you should know this."

Everyone laughed again, Yang Shukan couldn't help but smile, and scolded the hammer turtle son in a low voice, asking for some cheapness, which can be regarded as a little comfort.

The two chefs led a few subordinates to arrive, one after another exquisite dishes were put on the table, Xiao Yimin and the two chefs joked easily, and when everything was done, the chef and the subordinates retreated, Xiao Yimin immediately resumed the proper etiquette, raised his glass, gave a brief speech respectfully, and then toasted Yang Shukan with all the brothers, making Yang Shukan, who was so sentimental and emotional, almost shed tears.

After three rounds of drinking, Yang Shukan picked up the special tissue made in the Xiao family's compound, wiped his mouth elegantly, and prepared to say a few kind words, and then lead the topic to business.

Xiao Yimin quickly grabbed the chopsticks, sandwiched his favorite spicy boiled fish head into Yang Shukan's bowl, and instructed the brothers to eat more vegetables, and kept saying a series of novel and unique gluttonous food scriptures.

Under his infection, the brothers all threw off their cheeks and ate violently, and none of them showed the intention of speaking, which made Yang Shukan, who was full of worries, painful, so he had to eat silently like everyone else.

He wiped his mouth, cleared his throat, and was about to speak, Xiao Yimin picked up the wine glass and handed it to him to toast, so angry that the corners of Yang Shukan's mouth cramped, and finally suppressed his anger, picked up the wine glass and touched Xiao Yimin, put down the wine glass and was annoyed:

"Okay, right? Enough fun, right? Lao Bao, and a few of you, are getting more and more tacit with each other, right? Especially you Liu Bingxian, what's the matter with you? You actually helped your hateful third brother to bully me......"

The brothers couldn't help laughing, Xiao Yimin saw that Yang Shukan's face was flushed, and a few green tendons appeared on his neck, worried that he would be angry and nerdy, so he hurriedly picked up the teapot next to him and poured a cup of tea for Yang Shukan:

"Brother Pale, don't be angry, it's too late for the brothers to see that you are happy, how can they bully you? You are our brother, too, and you are talented and respected, and the brothers respect you very much! ”

"Respectable? Is Lao Tzu very old? Yang Shukan glared at Xiao Yimin in annoyance, and provoked a burst of irrepressible laughter from the brothers.

Yang Shukan sighed, drank half a cup of tea and slowly put down the teacup:

"Yiming, brothers, I did come back with a heavy responsibility this time, and I don't feel solid if I don't say it! At the beginning of last month, Mr. Sun Yat-sen and Mr. Keqiang organized an important meeting in Yueben to sum up the profound lessons of the revolutionary defeat and to reunite the Kuomintang and all political parties aspiring to rejuvenate the country and the nation to form a unified Chinese Revolutionary Party.

At this meeting, Mr. Zhongshan and Mr. Keqiang and others praised Sichuan's Ming Cooking Movement, and admired and envied the situation in Sichuan, and Mr. Keqiang also made special mention of the Sichuan Army Military Academy, and gave high praise to the construction and development of the Sichuan Army, and believed that the opening of the Sichuan Army Military Academy has played an important role in inspiring and promoting the revolutionary party and the army under its leadership!

"Sichuan, which has a glorious revolutionary history, has become the focus of everyone's attention, so I was finally sent back."

Xiao Yimin leaned back in his chair, listened carefully with a smile on his face, but didn't say a word; Bao Jiqing, Zheng Yi and others nodded or nodded, and no one asked or said anything else; As a member of the Kuomintang, Liu Bingxian looked embarrassed, looked at the wine in the glass without saying a word.

When Yang Shukan saw this scene, his mood was extremely heavy, and he knew that it would not be possible to make his intention clear again, so he turned to Xiao Yimin and said sincerely:

"Yiming, I know your lofty ideals, and I also know that everything you do is for the country and the people, which is also the goal of our Kuomintang and all revolutionary parties.

Xiao Yimin smiled lightly: "Of course you can, but I don't know what benefits those people in Yuben can give to the younger brother?" Don't mention the money, and for the time being, you don't need to think about the other leaders of the China Mingzhu Party, which already has 30,000 party members, just talk about the younger brother, what position can you give the younger brother? ”

"This ...... There's really not been an in-depth discussion. Yang Shukan replied embarrassedly.

Xiao Yimin laughed: "Brother Pale, and you, see it, this is the style of the so-called revolutionaries, how can there be such a good thing in the world?" Brother Pale, the younger brother doesn't fight with his brother anymore, and only mentions one condition: if you want the younger brother to lead the Mingzhuo Party to join the Chinese Revolutionary Party, you must give the younger brother the position of first vice chairman, and also give the younger brother the post of vice chairman of the military committee, and continue to command his existing army, otherwise the younger brother will not do it! So, that's straightforward enough, right? ”

Yang Shukan had already thought about all kinds of difficulties, knowing that this trip would be bumpy and extremely difficult, but he didn't expect Xiao Yimin to give such a simple and direct answer, and the price offered was so high.

Seeing Yang Shukan's embarrassed appearance, Bao Jiqing glanced at Xiao Yimin.

Xiao Yimin stood up casually and said that since he was full, he would just go out for a walk, take a walk on the west city wall to see the scenery, look at the sunset on the horizon, breathe in the fresh air, and chat while enjoying the beautiful scenery, which is good for the body.

The brothers all happily agreed, and Yang Shukan also desperately needed an opportunity to discuss with Xiao Yimin alone, so he immediately agreed.

Everyone walked down the stone steps together, passed through the courtyard with the fragrance of melons and fruits, and just as they were about to walk to the corner gate, Yi Zhenying and Liu Yu came with their children, and said with a smile that they also wanted to walk on the city wall.

Xiao Yimin happily agreed, took his son and held him in his arms, and walked with Yang Shukan, who was full of kindness, laughing in a low voice as he walked.

Liu Yu walked beside his brother Liu Bingxian, answering his brother's question with his mouth, and his crystal clear eyes were always staring at Xiao Yimin's back in front of him.
