Chapter 30: Finally Got a Taste for It
Chapter 30 finally has a taste for it
Little Lori glared at Zhou El with a flat mouth, and said in her heart: "Didn't you say that you helped me rebel against the feudal arranged marriage?" Now that he has been fooled by the handsome Beiyang warlord, is he ready to be a matchmaker for this girl? Hum! This girl is not uncommon...... What about you, matchmaker! β
Thinking of this, Xiao Lori wanted to say yes, but before the words came out, she felt inappropriate. I have a girl's family, I ran out to meet my fiancΓ© privately, and I have to let myself out, and the other party, a handsome warlord, still ignores me, isn't this too cheap? It's like you can't get married...... Xiao Lori secretly glanced at Chang Ruiqing who was smiling again, and she didn't know what was going on, her cheeks turned red after brushing it, her head was lowered, and she said in an inaudible voice: "I don't marry ......" and then added: "I'm still ...... young."
Eh, this probably means that when you grow up, you will marry Chang Ruiqing as your wife, right?
After befriending Zhou Dashen, Chang Ruiqing's attention returned to the little Lori Wang Ruonan. This little girl deserves to be a school flower-level Lori! At most, he is thirteen or fourteen years old, but this posture is already beautiful, and if he grows up, it will definitely be beautiful and bring disaster to the country and the people...... Hehe, after more than ten years, now it's finally time to wear some taste.
Chang Ruiqing is a human being in two lifetimes, and has practiced hard for many years of "flickering magic skills", deceiving a little girl is naturally hand-to-hand, he smiled slightly, took out a jewelry box that had already been prepared from the pocket of his military uniform, and after opening it, he took out a pair of very beautifully made diamond-encrusted engagement rings from inside, walked to Xiao Lori, and put one of the female rings on the slender and slender ring finger of her left hand. Then he said softly to Xiao Lori: "Ruonan, this is an engagement ring, we can get engaged first, and when you graduate from Nankai, we will officially get married, okay?" β
"Wow, it's so romantic......" Little Lori hadn't spoken yet, and several female classmates who accompanied her to resist the feudal arranged marriage couldn't help but scream. Among them, there is also a slightly older and somewhat beautiful female student who is already there to flatter a handsome Beiyang warlord, probably wanting to book a second room, right? Well, it's the early years of the Republic of China after all!
"Well, okay!" Little Lori's sixth sense has already told her that a competitor may have appeared! I have to quickly label Chang Ruiqing as "owned by Wang Ruonan"! Otherwise, let someone else rob it! So she also followed Chang Ruiqing's example, picked up another engagement ring and put it on the ring finger of the other party's left hand, which was considered to have completed the most basic engagement ceremony, and then swept the few little sisters around her with a warning look......

The winter in Beijing is a slaughter of all things, and bursts of wind and sand are tearing the sky and the earth, shrouding the whole city in a twilight. The streets were empty, there were basically no pedestrians, only a few camels ringing bells in the wind and sand, these camels were the official property of the Quartermaster Department of the 13th Division of the Army, and were now being lent to Chang Ruiqing's model regiment to buy supplies. However, the 13th Division was stationed in the Nanyuan Barracks in the south of Beijing, which was almost close to Fengtai County, and I didn't know what the officers in charge of the procurement of the Model Regiment were thinking, and how they brought these camels to the Zhongguan'er in the northwest of Beijing.
This area called "Zhongguan'er" was also known as Zhongguancun in the future. However, in the early Republic of China, it was a desolate and dilapidated place. It was originally a gathering place and burial place for retired eunuchs, and when the Qing Dynasty did not fall, it was still a bit popular, and there were often some powerful eunuchs who would come here to choose a cemetery for themselves, and at the same time give relief to those "retired" eunuchs who were helpless and had never gained power. But now that it is the Republic of China, the Emperor Xuantong in the Forbidden City has long been unable to take care of his relatives and nobles, so where can he take care of these old eunuchs who have "retired"? However, in the area of this Zhongguan'er, there are not only old and deaf old eunuchs, but also some young eunuchs who were laid off by the Internal Affairs Government after the Republic of China on the grounds of saving expenses, and they have nowhere to go, so they also gather here, build a broken shed, rent a few acres of thin fields, and chat to make a living.
The two officers who had brought the caravan here were not wearing military uniforms, but were wearing thick cotton robes, fur hats, and scarves to wrap their heads tightly, and they saw that they had reached the front of a tattered shack. One of them said to the other, "Sir, this is it." As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed to the middle of the broken shack: "The eunuch Meng I mentioned to you lives there." β
The chief said with a little complaint: "Isn't it just a eunuch, he was still driven out, what kind of shelf, and we have to look at the thatched house...... Hehe, this shack is worse than a thatched hut......"
The man smiled at the beginning: "No matter how this Meng eunuch is broken now, he has always been in the limelight before, I think he was a popular man in front of Xiao Dezhang at the beginning, if it wasn't for the change of dynasty, the next chief eunuch might be him." This man was found with a lot of thought. β
As he spoke, he tugged on the reins again and led the caravan in the direction he had just pointed to. The chief muttered to himself: "Xiao Dezhang is so wide now, and I don't know if Zhou Ji is his old subordinate, this eunuch is really a cold person...... " He shook his head as he spoke, and followed.
The two men and a few camels finally stopped at the door of a small dilapidated courtyard, and the man who was in front of him raised his hand and began to knock on the door, and with great strength, he shook the broken door panel vigorously, and only after a few beats, he heard a male duck complaining in the door: "What is the beat?" If you smash this piece of wood, what will you pay? β
The door creaked open, and a young man in a tattered cotton coat with a vegetable face was looking at the two somewhat mysterious visitors with disgrace. This young man has no beard on his face, his hair is messy like a straw nest, but the braids have been cut off, although these "former eunuchs" were abandoned by the little emperors of the Manchu Dynasty, but there are really few who have twisted their braids.
The man who knocked on the door tore off the turban that wrapped his head, and smiled at the young eunuch: "Xiao Meng, it's my brother, your broken shack has been lived in to the end, and the door panel will be broken if it is broken." β
The man who spoke looked like a gentleman, with a pair of rimless glasses on the bridge of his nose, and looked like a reader. His surname is Yijiang, the word Yichen, is a person from Jinghai County, has some fields in his family, his father is a small landlord and a teacher, and he has a reputation for talent, if it were not for the "Gengzi National Change" (the "Xinchou Treaty" stipulates that all provinces that have made trouble with the Boxer Rebellion must stop the imperial examination and fall into the dry year), maybe they can still be lifted before the fall of the Manchu Qing Dynasty or something. And Ren Yijiang himself read the "Four Books and Five Classics" in his father's private school, this thing is useless after the abolition of the imperial examination, no matter how well he learns, he is a clerk for the bureaucrats and warlords, and he drafts official documents, and now he is the clerk in the model camp...... In addition, I don't know what path he took, he was also absorbed into the Red Brigade by Wu Shi, the deputy commander of the Model Battalion! And Wu Shi, who was about to be promoted to deputy head of the regiment, now followed Ren Yijiang and ran to the dilapidated and desolate Zhongguan'er to meet this Meng eunuch. Now he was twisting his eyebrows and carefully looking at Eunuch Meng in front of him.
Eunuch Meng glanced at the two of them, and a hint of surprise flashed on his face, but in a blink of an eye, he looked impassive: "Oh, it's Brother Yichen, this is ......"
Ren Yijiang looked a little excited, pulled Eunuch Meng to Wu Shi, and explained loudly: "Xiao Meng, Meng Li, is also a fellow villager of Zhili Jinghai and me, I have been in the palace since I was a child, and I have served the chief eunuch Xiao Dezhang - this is Mr. Wu, our leader, that is, he wants to reward you for your errand, Xiao Meng hurry up and clean up, come with me!" β
