As the sound of the 'fake foreign devil' was clearly heard by everyone, the surroundings seemed to become quieter in an instant, there was no sound of speaking, and even the sound of everyone's breathing was much quieter.

The surroundings were quiet, as if time had stopped, from Zhao Dongyun's point of view, the old lady Li in front of him had a stern face, but Li Erjian and Li Ziquan on the right hand side were slightly pale, the corners of their mouths moved slightly as if they wanted to say something, and their eyes had already revealed a trace of panic and worry.

Even Lin Yongquan, who was standing behind Zhao Dongyun, frowned slightly, obviously feeling very unhappy with the phrase 'fake foreign devil', because now he is the same as Zhao Dongyun, wearing a full set of officer uniforms, a command knife hanging from his waist, and black leather shoes, his outfit is just one more braid than Zhao Dongyun, but the others are the same.

This fake foreign devil is actually talking about him!

Although this is not the first time that he has been scolded as a fake foreign devil, in fact, since the beginning of the new army period after the first Wu Dynasty, the new army under Yuan Shikai, which fully imitates the German army, has been scolded as a fake foreign devil by outsiders, and it is inevitable to be pointed at by the people when walking on the street.

However, it is only limited to pointing fingers behind their backs, but few people have the courage to scold them in front of them for being fake foreign devils, but everything has a first time, and it is obvious that Zhao Dongyun and Lin Yongquan met for the first time today.

When Zhao Dongyun listened to this fake foreign devil, his thick eyebrows began to wrinkle, and then he turned his gaze from Mrs. Li to the girl who was narrating.

During the time he came in, Zhao Dongyun didn't look at everyone like the radar, in fact, he has maintained a slightly high and direct gaze since he came in, and the reason is simple, no one present is worthy of him to turn his head, move his eyes to focus on observation, and say unceremoniously, although he has greeted many Li family members just now, but it is certain that except for Li Yijian and Li Ziquan, as long as he turns around, he will no longer recognize other people.

For those passers-by who have no sense of zài, Zhao Dongyun has always been unwilling to waste even a little memory space for them. And in the eyes of others, there will be two feelings, the first is that he feels that he is a court official and has the majesty of a superior person. The second is that there is no one in sight.

Obviously, there was a second feeling in the girl's heart.

Zhao Dongyun turned his head and glanced at the girl, this girl is estimated to be sixteen or seventeen years old, and she will be a middle school student in the next life, but in this era, she is already the age when she can marry and have children. The face of the melon seed face is not very stunning, if you want to deduct any adjectives such as "captivating the country and the city", "sinking fish and falling geese", it must be too much, but it also has a delicate appearance that conforms to the public's aesthetics, and there is a trace of perseverance in the bright eyes, and he did not hide his gaze at Zhao Dongyun, but bravely greeted him.

It's just that under the brave face, it can already be seen that her grub neck is slightly red, although the chest under the shirt is not big, but obviously there are obvious ups and downs because of nervousness, and the light blue water-patterned long skirt under the shirt has been covered by the embroidered flat shoes at her feet, but Zhao Dongyun noticed that she was not wearing high-soled bow shoes, and it was obviously a person who did not bind her feet.

The woman's senses are sensitive, and she may have noticed that Zhao Dongyun's gaze was looking at her from top to bottom, and her eyes stayed on the feet under the skirt, she subconsciously stepped back, as if she wanted to retract the pair of heavenly feet into the skirt.

In this era, although there are also some Han daughters who do not bind their feet, but in the high-ranking dignitaries, especially in the families of scholars and doctors with strict etiquette, most of the women still bind their feet.

I don't comment here on whether foot binding is good or bad, just that people think and do it this way in this day and age.

The Li family is obviously the kind of businessman family with money and no family education in the hearts of contemporary people, this is not to wronged them, for example, on this occasion today, the Li family invited Zhao Dongyun and Lin Yongquan to a banquet, according to the convention, even if they watch the opera and listen to the music after they are full of wine and food, it is impossible for a group of female members of the Li family to appear, let alone sit and watch the opera and listen to the music together.

In the eyes of later generations, this kind of behavior may be considered an open atmosphere, but in contemporary times, it is an out-and-out corruption of customs.

However, the above are just the views of contemporaries such as Lin Yongquan, but they have no impact on Zhao Dongyun, the etiquette of this era is dispensable for him, take it if it is useful to him, and abandon it if it is useless to him.

If you want to talk about etiquette, Zhao Dongyun married Fang Ruolian, who believes in Catholicism, and she is also a nun who grew up in a Western-style environment, and she doesn't know what the three obedience and four virtues are, let alone Fang Ruolian's heavenly feet.

At the beginning, several elders of the Zhao family opposed this marriage, but after Zhao Dongyun directly kicked back to Xuzhou the children and grandchildren who were sent by the old diehards to ask for official errands, they all obediently shut up, and then they were cheeky and continued to beg Zhao Dongyun to give their children and grandchildren a good future, but at that time, they no longer dared to rely on the old and sell the old in front of Zhao Dongyun.

This Li family, Zhao Dongyun secretly shook his head at them in his heart!

However, he is also a member of the third grade of the imperial court, so naturally he will not turn his face with a little girl, at this time he still looked at her with a smile, at this time Li Yijian had already hurriedly walked over, showing a look of panic and said: "Lord Zhao, forgive me, the little girl is used to beating Xiaoye, I will compensate you for her!" ”

After that, he also shouted in a low voice: "Don't hurry up and make amends to Lord Zhao!" ”

The old lady Li beside her is not an uninformed woman, and she also knows that if she doesn't give Zhao Dongyun a step down at this time, if she doesn't lower her posture, I'm afraid things will make a big fuss.

Immediately, he said to the girl next to him: "Wan'er, don't you tell Lord Zhao no!" ”

The girl named Li Wan was quite brave at the beginning, whether she was a spoiled lady, or that she was innocent and reckless, but today she was the only one who dared to look directly at Zhao Dongyun's gaze. However, this kind of bravery did not last, it made Zhao Dongyun feel a little hairy in his heart, and he also regretted that he didn't speak through his brain, and now he gave Li Yijian and Mrs. Li such a drink, that trace of bravery didn't know where to fly, tears were rolling in his eyes, and his red lips opened several times to say apologies, but he never spoke.

As a member of the imperial court, a new upstart in Beiyang, and Zhao Dongyun, the leader of the Third Mixed Association, although he is young, his mentality is very different from that of other peers, at least he will not let go of his figure and see a pampered little girl.

From beginning to end, he didn't say a word, not even a cold snort on behalf of dissatisfaction, he just glanced at Li Wan, his expression changed slightly, as if the person concerned was not him, he himself was more like a spectator.

And after an embarrassing few breaths, now Zhao Dongyun also knows that it is time for him to appear, and he can't keep embarrassing the scene, no, he said at the moment: "Ling Ai is naïve and reckless, but he said something that many people dare not say!" ”

This has a self-deprecating meaning, indicating that I agree with the statement of fake foreign devils! Because Zhao Dongyun doesn't think this word is very dejorative. In contemporary times, those who are called fake foreign devils generally wear suits, leather shoes, bald heads or inch hair, and most of these people are young people who have opened their eyes and tried to seek new ideas, and most of them are international students.

Others don't have the qualifications to be scolded as fake foreign devils, Zhao Dongyun laughed at himself in his heart.

That Li Wan faced her grandmother and father and brother with that sword-like gaze, the brave heart just now had already disappeared, and the tears were already on the edge of the eye sockets, and they would fall at any time, at this time, she heard Zhao Dongyun speak before she whispered: "It's me who is rude." ”

Zhao Dongyun didn't care, looked away, and then walked to the main seat under the stage by himself, but Lin Yongquan, who followed behind him, glared at Li Yijian's father and son fiercely, and this moment reminded him of a day in Baoding two years ago.

I remember that after he followed Zhao Dongyun back from the Governor's Mansion that day, he was also pointed at and scolded by passers-by behind his back as fake foreign devils, so that they rode horses directly in the downtown to vent the depression in their hearts, and it has been two years, Lin Yongquan once again felt that insult.

Li Yijian secretly complained in his heart, what is the matter!

In order to have a relationship with Zhao Dongyun, he sent a compound out to Zhao Dongyun to stay and be the third mixed headquarters, and today's banquet is also to befriend Zhao Dongyun, but how things are different from what he imagined, seeing that he will offend him if he can't make friends with Zhao Dongyun.

Looking at the face of Lin Yongquan, Zhao Dongyun's descendant, Li Yijian could guess that it would be difficult to be good today.

He complained bitterly in his heart while smiling and guiding Zhao Dongyun and the two of them, accompanying them to the front row of the main position, and at the same time giving his wife Li Jiang a look, asking her to quickly take the daughter who got into trouble out, so as not to make any more bad things, he has already decided, he can no longer get used to her in the future, this time he must give her a long memory, always no big or small, not to say that offending people, I am afraid that I will be divorced in the future.

Although Zhao Dongyun was a little unhappy with what happened just now, it was not a big deal, and it was far from the point where he could be angry, so he still sat on the main seat, and after casually turning over the play, the troupe invited by the Li family came to the stage to perform.

Taking advantage of the start of the big play, Li Erjian's wife Li Jiangshi had already quietly taken her daughter Li Wan out of the courtyard, and after taking it out, she could vaguely hear Li Jiang's whispered accusations, then Li Wan left with her head down, knowing that she had made a mistake on the one hand, but on the other hand, she also felt very wronged, and the tears that she had endured for a long time finally fell, drop by drop on the road, bright as crystal.

The troupe was on the stage for a long time, and Zhao Dongyun didn't listen to what they were singing, and he didn't think there was anything to see when he saw them dangling around, and the whole person just fell into a state of drowsiness.

He sighed after most of the day, he didn't get angry when the little girl scolded him for being a fake foreign devil just now, at least it didn't affect his judgment on the matter, but watching this scene made him more and more bored, which not only made him feel that it was a waste of time, but also a moment of difficulty, just rush to this extremely difficult play, don't want Zhao Dongyun to give Li Yijian a good look.

finally made it to the end of the play, Zhao Dongyun hurriedly got up and planned to leave, then Li Yijian naturally didn't dare to stop him, but when he saw Zhao Dongyun get up and leave, he seemed to have a bad expression. At this time, he didn't know that Zhao Dongyun was bored because of the opera, but he thought that his daughter had offended Zhao Dongyun just now.

Watching Zhao Dongyun and Lin Yongquan leave in a hurry, Li Yijian's face was also extremely ugly, and he looked at a large group of people left and right, now he wants to scold anyone, but he doesn't know who to scold, and finally burst out with a loud shout: "A group of bastard things!" "After the Buddha sleeves go!
