Chapter 11: Brothers

As the meeting was going on, I heard a knock on the door from outside the barracks, and then a young man with a smirk walked in. He is Yu Liu, a service soldier that Chang Ruiqing just selected for himself from the team, a native of Zhangbei County, Rehe, only 16 years old this year, and he is a recruit recruited when the Gongwei Army was expanded this time, and he doesn't know any rules, and he won't even shout a report.

However, seeing his master Chang Ruiqing, the young man still bowed very respectfully and said, "My lord (this title is also a bit outdated), there is a person outside who claims to be your brother, named Chang Ruiyuan, who asks to see. ”

"Ruiyuan?" Chang Ruiqing scratched the back of his head, and recalled it vigorously, only to remember a little kid who wore open crotch pants all day long and always had two batters on his nose, that was his "cheap brother", I don't know how to find Beijing City?

After thinking about it again, it turned out that he had sent a letter to his family a few days ago, telling his parents that he had become a battalion commander in the 13th Army Division in Beijing...... In the eyes of an honest railway worker, the battalion commander is probably a great official, right? So let your youngest son come to the team and want to get an errand, right?

At that moment, Chang Ruiqing waved his hand and said with a smile: "Let him wait in my barracks first, and I will go over after the meeting." ”

Yu Liu responded lightly, bent down again, and walked out backwards. Chang Ruiqing smiled and shook his head: "Brothers in the war, fathers and sons in battle, and the Hunan army and the Huai army come over like this, but we don't have this here, and we can't do it from me." My brother, I will pay for him to go to school, and I will not let him serve in the ranks. ”

Wu Shi next to him also smiled: "I'm the same, people from my hometown will never be arranged on the team." ”

"Yes, we are the same, we all understand the truth of the clear distinction between public and private."

"We know that if we want to achieve great things, we must be strict with ourselves, and we must not learn from those old Beiyang"

It seems that these people understand that now is the difficult time to start a business, and they can't break the rules! It's just that you have to wait for the development of **, right?

Chang Ruiqing nodded with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "Of course, the virtuous do not avoid relatives, if they are really capable, we should also welcome others to work together." As he spoke, he looked out the window again, and the sun was already setting, so he said: "Comrades, it's not too early, let's stop here today, I also have to meet my brother, it's not easy for people to come all the way to the capital once." At this point, the image of a bubbling silly boy came to his mind.

However, when our Chang Ruiqing Changda battalion commander returned to his barracks, he saw a tall and beautiful young man wearing a straight tweed military uniform, tall and delicate, sitting on a chair, curiously looking around at this simple and somewhat surprisingly unexpectedly camped elder's bedroom, what made Chang Ruiqing feel a little stunned was that the young officer's head was half shaved, and there was actually a big oily braid behind him!

How can a big man's family have a braid? And he also wore a Beiyang military uniform, and the rank of second lieutenant was hung on his shoulders! What the hell is going on?

Just as Chang Ruiqing was looking at the visitor, the other party also blinked at him with big smart eyes. Not to mention, the figures and facial features of the two people are really a little similar, but Chang Ruiqing looks quite majestic and a little fierce, while this young man is a little more delicate, like a sunny boy, but it is more likable......

The two of them looked at each other for a while, and finally the young man opened his mouth first, and one mouth was an official dialect with a Xuzhou accent: "You are Brother Ruiqing, right?" I'm Ruiyuan! Do you remember? ”

This young man is really not an outsider, it is Chang Ruiqing's brother Chang Ruiyuan.

"You're really Ruiyuan!" To be honest, Chang Ruiqing really didn't recognize this brother, after all, he hadn't seen him for more than ten years. However, he is a small battalion commander, and no one will come to recognize his relatives indiscriminately. However, Chang Ruiqing's gaze quickly fell on his younger brother's half-shaved head, he raised his finger and asked, "Brother, what's going on?" Why do you still have braids? ”

Chang Ruiyuan grinned, flicked his braids, took a thick and black braid in his hand, shook it, and said with a smile: "Everyone in the 63rd battalion of Dingwu soldiers under the command of General Dingwu has braids, and they are nicknamed the Braided Army, big brother, you should have heard of it, right?" ”

"Braided Army!" Chang Ruiqing took a breath, and then remembered that his hometown Tongshan County, that is, Xuzhou, is not the current Anhui overseer, the Dingwu General Zhang Xun and Zhang Braidshuai, who have been entrenched for many years?

"When did you join the Braided Army?" Chang Ruiqing smiled reluctantly, trying not to show disgust on his face. To be honest, he didn't have a good impression of most of the Beiyang warlords, and he hated Zhang Xun even more when he arrived in the Republic of China and still wore braids......

"It's been more than two years, right? I can't compare to my eldest brother, I don't have the brain to read, and I can't always eat Lao Tzu at home, so I joined the Braided Army. People saw that I was handsome, and I was also smart, so I sent it to the pigtail handsome as a messenger...... The pigtail handsome can afford it, and he also rewarded the background of a platoon commander. This time, I am waiting for our pigtail marshal to come to Beijing to attend the meeting of the Overseer Army, and by the way, I will come to see the eldest brother. When Chang Ruiyuan talked about the pigtailed handsome, his face was respectful, and it seemed that he had gained a lot of benefits from his old man.

Chang Ruiqing looked at his younger brother's appearance, smiled wryly and nodded. In the officialdom of the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, it was this rule, those who became big officials, they all liked to make a group of handsome attachés around them, and they didn't do anything serious, just took them out to stinky and show off, the Qing Dynasty called it "Goshha", and the Republic of China changed its name to "Listen to the errand" or "run on the errand" or something like that. His younger brother is also a talent, and he looks very clever, so it is not surprising that he can find a job by Zhang Braidshuai's side...... However, it is an advantage to be an errand for the marshal, if you talk about income, it is probably not less than that of yourself, a battalion leader with clean sleeves! It seems that he doesn't have to arrange any way out for him for the time being.

He took a breath and beckoned to his brother: "You come with me, let's go out and find a tavern to have a drink or two." "Chang Ruiqing set his own rules, the rooms in the barracks are not for the private banquets of officers, if there are any relatives and friends, go out to the restaurant by yourself! I didn't expect this rule to be set for myself. With that, he took his brother's arm and walked out together.

Chang Ruiyuan smiled indifferently, and followed, and said as he walked: "Brother, who of us is with whom, just get two side dishes in the barracks, how troublesome it is to go out!" ”

Chang Ruiqing just smiled and diverted the topic: "Ruiyuan, are your father and mother okay?" Does Dad still work on the railroad? ”

This time, it was Chang Ruiyuan's turn to smile bitterly: "Okay, it's all very good, the old man has a tough body, he has gone up on errands, he has been promoted to a steward, and he has also purchased a farm house in the countryside, uh, and I'm going to give us a little mother!" ”

"Mommy?" Chang Ruiqing was stunned and stunned. Chang Ruiyuan waved his hand: "Hey, the yellow flower girl who spent a few hundred yuan to buy, let him go, the old man has been suffering for most of his life...... Finally, both sons are out of breath, and it's time to enjoy it. ”

Hearing this, Chang Ruiqing almost fainted to the ground, what kind of world is this! For Mao, others are filial piety, and it is the father's kindness and filial piety, and it is his turn to Zhang Luo's little mother!

"By the way, the old man is also helping you with Zhang Luo's family affairs...... "Then Chang Ruiyuan said again." Brother, what do you want? ”

Chang Ruiqing's face sank slightly, "Are you also going to spend a few hundred yuan to buy one for me?" ”

"Brother, what are you kidding? You're a camp leader now! Of course, you have to find the right one, where can you buy one casually? ”

Chang Ruiqing hurriedly waved his hand: "I'm a new-style soldier, and I don't want that kind of arranged marriage!" He paused and quickly changed the subject: "By the way, Ruiyuan, what did you just say about the Overseer Legion meeting, what's going on?" ”
