Five days after Chen Jintang and Pei Gejin led the headquarters of the National Defense Forces to the capital, Zhang Zhidong, Wan'er and other military government ministers arrived smoothly by horse-drawn carriage from Tianjin Port. The convoy entered from the east gate of the outer city and entered the east gate of the inner city. Deng Zixuan, Li Hongzhang, Chen Jintang, Pei Gejin and others greeted them at Dongzhimen. The convoy of horses, escorted by the guards, came in a hurry, almost without a tail in sight. The first convoy was seated by important members of the military government, followed by family members led by Wan'er.

Zhang Zhidong was obviously a little excited when he saw Deng Zixuan, and he was the first to jump out of the carriage, and Sheng Huaixuan, Hu Xueyan, Qin Fan and others were not far behind. Deng Zixuan was obviously a little excited, and stepped forward to hold Zhang Zhidong's hand first and said, "Brother Zhang! Fortunately along the way, I said that we would meet soon, and we met in the capital in just 6 months. "The commander-in-chief, as if in a dream mirror, is really unimaginable, and we are so excited that we can't control it along the way." There is no need to introduce Zhang Zhidong and Li Hongzhang below, the two shook hands cordially and talked warmly.

Deng Zixuan talked cordially with Sheng Huaixuan, Hu Xueyan, and Qin Fan for a while, and then looked at the female dependents gathered behind. Wan'er stood in the sun with a spring breeze on her face, her beautiful eyes were clear and indifferent, and she was full of the charm of a mature woman. Biying and Danxia were still by his side, looking at him with a smile, and everyone stopped talking and their eyes were focused on them. Deng Zixuan suppressed his impulse, stepped forward and graciously took Wan'er's hand and said affectionately: "Madam, welcome to the capital, you have been fortunate along the way." ”

Wan'er's face turned red, and she was a little embarrassed and said, "Zixuan, you said that we met in the capital." Didn't expect it so soon. Deng Zixuan realized that this occasion could not be too presumptuous, so he had to continue to suppress his high mood and began to greet the female dependents. This kung fu Chen Jintang and Pei Gejin also found their wives and children. The scene of the meeting was full of strong family affection. Because Deng Zixuan's mansion was not renovated, the couple had to go to Li Mansion to continue to live temporarily.

Zhang Zhidong's house was arranged by Li Hongzhang, after all, the two have a personal relationship. Sheng Huaixuan and Hu Xueyan both have houses in the capital, so they are familiar with the road. Hu Xueyan had more than one house in the capital, so he specially gave Qin Fan a house, so Qin Fan saved a lot of trouble. Danxia and Biying will not live in the capital in the future, so they will be with Wan'er for the time being. Deng Zixuan announced that everyone should settle down first. At night, I personally picked up the wind and washed the dust for everyone in the Li Mansion.

The convoy continued to march towards the inner city, and Deng Zixuan specially prepared a Western carriage. Since Wan'er was used to making Western carriages in Guangzhou City, the guards were extra careful. The capital has become a sensation. A large number of people gathered on the streets along the way, and they spontaneously gathered on both sides of the street, scrambling to witness the dignity of Deng Zixuan and Wan'er. Where the convoy passed, the people on both sides spontaneously knelt down. And chanting hooray. The populace acted entirely voluntarily. There is simply no way to stop it.

Wan'er was a little apprehensive and didn't adapt at all: "Zixuan, why are the people here like this!" Deng Zixuan said with a smile: "This is the root of the imperial city, and the people are used to it." The emperor's travel formation may be more serious than this, and the new government in the future cannot bow down, but can only let them slowly adapt. Today, the people are expressing their wishes, so let them vent to their heart's content! Soon Wan'er entered the role and frequently waved to the sides.

Today's Li Mansion is boiling again, just like the New Year. Wan'er met Li Hongzhang's wife and aunt. And give the gifts you bring to everyone, such as mirrors, soap, cosmetics, clothes, high-heeled leather shoes and other things that women like. The women of the Li Mansion were going crazy with joy. Wan'er's new wave quickly broke through the conservative atmosphere of the Li Mansion. Li Hongzhang's wife, aunts, and wives, including their daughters, quickly changed into trendy cheongsams, climbed into high-heeled leather shoes, and gathered in front of the mirror to admire their figures, and reveled in them.

Frankly speaking, Li Hongzhang is very traditional and conservative, and the reason why the ladies and ladies dare to be so bold and presumptuous is completely Wan'er. Wan'er's trendy appearance represents a kind of fashion, which also means that Deng Zixuan appreciates this fashion. In addition, these clothes and high-heeled shoes were given by Mrs. Deng, who would dare to refuse this kind of honor, so the women of the Li Mansion naturally had no scruples.

In a huge hall, the seats had been placed, and Deng Zixuan and Li Hongzhang were the first to sit down and wait for the guests to arrive. This kung fu Wan'er appeared on the stage in a black cheongsam, black and white, glamorous and moving, which shocked the audience. Then Li Hongzhang's wife, aunt's wife, and young lady appeared on the stage. Li Hongzhang was a little dizzy, and found that his wife and aunt suddenly grew taller, and their usually bloated figure became graceful.

Seeing Li Hongzhang's expression, Deng Zixuan joked: "Women are stunners, and it is their nature to love beauty, we don't need to set rules and precepts to let them show their beauty to their heart's content." What is a woman's appearance for pleasing herself, but also for the face of the gentleman. Li Hongzhang looked a little embarrassed and said: "They are indeed new and refreshing, but I can't accept it for a while." "It's good to get used to it, and after a while, you will see that the ladies are showing off the trendy and modern, and you will not be surprised! In fact, breaking down worldly prejudices requires not only courage, but also fuel. Deng Zixuan smiled indifferently, and his words were clear. It means that you can't be too pedantic about new things, and you should take advantage of the situation.

As he spoke, Zhang Zhidong, Sheng Huaixuan, Hu Xueyan, Qin Fan, Chen Jintang, Pei Gejin and others appeared with their respective wives and aunts. Suddenly, the flowers are full of flowers, and the song and swallow language are like a beautiful landscape, which makes the hall full of a different atmosphere. Among the guests, Hu Xueyan has the largest lineup, 9 wives, and the age gap is so large, it can be called a must. There was a table for male guests and a table for female guests, and the atmosphere suddenly became warm.

After the wine and food were served, the noise in the hall stopped, and everyone's eyes invariably aimed at the table where Deng Zixuan was. The people at this table are heavyweights, so it is natural that they will be the center of attention. Deng Zixuan saw that it was almost over, and stood up with a spring breeze on his face and said: "Today, I will take the lead and wash the dust for everyone in the Li Mansion." Today's gathering in Beijing also means the beginning of a greater era, and the next step is to set up a new government, and everything must start again, come! Let's have a toast and wish the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation in advance. ”

After drinking, Deng Zixuan continued: "I want to warn everyone, don't think that we will have no worries when we sit in the capital. The war will continue, and the Western powers will not take the initiative to lay down their butcher knives, and only by defeating them on the battlefield can we achieve true peace. Therefore, the new government we will form in the future must still maintain the fine traditions of the military junta period, maintain the style of hard work and simplicity, guard against arrogance and rashness, maintain a clean and efficient mechanism, and have zero tolerance for corruption and corruption. ”

"The curtain is about to open on a greater era, and we need to go further. After several years of exploration, our national law has gradually improved, our industrial system has gradually taken shape, our economic field has become more prosperous, and our educational cause has also shown great vitality. If this momentum is to continue, all of you here must not slacken. If the Chinese nation wants to stand among the Shijie nation, we need to redouble the efforts of all of us here, including myself, in order to reach the other side of victory. ”

"Colleagues! An ancestor said well that the revolution has not yet succeeded, and comrades need to redouble their efforts. For the sake of the re-rise of the Chinese nation, I sincerely ask you here. Applause thundered, and everyone stood up, tears of excitement in their eyes??????。 Then everyone raised their glasses to celebrate this unforgettable moment. Outside, the sky was already full of stars and thousands of lights, and the capital was boiling that night, and the teahouse, a place for the people to entertain, was probably crowded.

The ladies had already left the table, probably because the fatigue of the journey had hit early, and they couldn't hold on to resting. The guest of honor table was still talking freely, and Deng Zixuan left the table to go to the next room to discuss military matters with Chen Jintang and Pei Gejin. Li Hongzhang drank a glass with Sheng Huaixuan with a red face: "You hid deep enough back then, why didn't I notice that you had a rebellious heart!" Sheng Huaixuan smiled: "I won't tell you, I got on the boat in a daze, the commander-in-chief is too clever, and we can't turn back when we know what's going on." ”

"Master Li, I was also confused on the boat, where did I think that the commander-in-chief began to prepare for a rebellion since we met, no one would believe that a 20-year-old young man actually has earth-shattering ambitions, and he is thoughtful in every move, and now I know how extraordinary he is when I look back on it." This topic aroused Zhang Zhidong's interest and couldn't help but interject.

At this time, Deng Zixuan and Pei Gejin said: "Inform Bai Sheng, Leng Yifei, He Meng, Khalid, Fan Tao, Liu Buzhan, Liu Yongfu, Feng Zicai and other generals that they must arrive in the capital in late September to participate in the founding ceremony. Chen Jintang asked, "Did Shang Hu and Seinfeld from Myanmar notify?" "Burma is a long way to go, so don't let them come, but be sure to tell them the news of the founding ceremony." Subsequently, the three studied the issue of the reorganization of the army, and the two took their leave.

Deng Zixuan returned to the bedroom and saw Wan'er sleeping sweetly. He hesitated for a moment, and walked out of the room lightly. When he came to the courtyard and looked at the starry sky, he stretched out his arms and took a deep breath and made a few movements, and he was a little dizzy after drinking a lot of wine at night.

Suddenly, a pair of small hands hugged him from behind, and Deng Zixuan took Wan'er into his arms. After intimacy between the husband and wife for a while, Deng Zixuan said apologetically: "Wan'er, Xiaohong refuses to come to the capital, so I left my daughter in Shanghai, you won't blame me!" Wan'er Xiaoniao raised her head in her arms and said: "Xiaohong is lonely enough, maybe her daughters are by her side, which can play a comforting role, Zixuan, I don't blame you!" ”

Deng Zixuan kissed Wan'er on the face, picked her up, and strode towards the house. Wan'er buried her head in her husband's arms, and a man's body fragrance suddenly entered her lungs, making her intoxicated. (To be continued......)

PS: The new curtain is slowly opening again, like a battlefield point, and there is a long way to go.
