In the past, Zhang Tinglan would participate in the planning and implementation of various things, but when it came to marriage, he could only act as a marionette, and he would listen to how others arranged.

With the wedding date approaching, all the guests and friends have also arrived, not only the characters of the three eastern provinces, but also many people in Beijing and Tianjin, although the Feng army tossed in Beijing and Tianjin, so that some people feel uncomfortable, but the strength of the Feng army is there, you are not used to it, you have to stammer, otherwise the consequences are very serious, plus the Zhou family has such a deep relationship, no one can not give face.

Even the old man Xu Shichang of Beiyang came to Fengtian in person, although Xu Shichang now has no official position, but his identity is still very special, when he was the governor of the three eastern provinces, Zhang Zuolin was still his subordinate, so many years have passed, Xu Shichang has been dying, and Fengjun is in full swing, which is grateful.

In addition to his qualifications, Xu Shichang is also the matchmaker of this marriage, and Lao Zhang asked him to come forward and help talk about it. In fact, asking Lao Xu to come forward is more to appease the Wang family, originally the Zhou family was ready to marry Wang Shizhen, both parties had a will, and there was no zuihou finalized, let Lao Xu come forward, the Wang family naturally did not continue to lose face, saving a lot of trouble.

After Xu Shichang arrived in Mukden, Zhang Zuolin had to give him enough respect in all aspects, and personally took Xu Shichang into the Shuaifu, and the welcome ceremony was also very grand.

Lao Xu also had a smile on his face: "Yuting, you did a really good job, I also did it in Fengtian back then, at that time, Fengtian had just experienced the Russo-Japanese War, the people's livelihood was withering, the people were displaced, and thieves were everywhere." Now Yuting is in charge of the three eastern provinces, where the people are happy and prosperous. Looking at the scenery, it is not inferior to Beijing and Tianjin, which is all due to Yuting. ”

"Elder Xu Ju, Fengtian can have today, and it is not unrelated to the good foundation laid by your old man, as the so-called predecessors planted trees and later generations enjoy the shade, you don't have to be too modest!"

"Yuting is getting better and better at talking, this time I came to Fengtian, I want to be a good matchmaker, let's not talk about business, only about family affairs. Zhou Yatou has grown up since I was a child, and I am happy to find a good home. ”

Speaking of this, Xu Shichang looked at Zhang Tinglan and said with a smile: "Humble words, I remember that you accompanied Yuting to Beijing at the beginning. immediately negotiated a business with Zhu Erdian, which is really terrifying. ”

Xu Ju praised it. It's just a matter of following the trend. Because of the situation, the British were embarrassed, so they were a little hungry! ”

"It's easy to follow the trend, but it's hard to do, if you want to follow the trend, you must first see the general trend. In the face of foreigners all these years, we have all bent the knee to do diplomacy, only knowing that they are strong, but we do not know their weaknesses. can't see through their details, so they have repeatedly suffered losses. At that time, Yuan Gongbao also talked to me about this matter, and he said that a young man knows how to make money from foreigners, but the government officials can't think of it, which is really dereliction of duty. I remember your words or Yuan Gong escorted, this is a rare honor, but in the blink of an eye, things are wrong. ”

Xu Shichang sighed and stopped talking, Lao Zhang listened to him talk about the past, and also knew that Xu Shichang was not untargeted, he must have a purpose, so he said with a smile: "President Yuan, although there are mistakes, but still contribute to the country, there is no promotion of the president, and there is no Zhang today, although the president is gone, this sentiment cannot be forgotten." ”

"Yuting's loyalty and righteousness are known to the world, I, a bad old man, have a sentence to say to Yuting, although Duan Zhiquan is a little stubborn and self-serving, but he is also dedicated to inheriting the cause of palace protection, working for this country, you are both the pillars of the country, you should understand each other and support each other."

After going around in a circle, Xu Shichang finally said the key point, he actually came with a mission, mainly wanting to take advantage of the opportunity of this marriage to talk about the relationship between Fengjun and Beiyang, and let Lao Zhang Bei and Duan Qirui work against each other.

Zhang Zuolin also nodded: "Elder Xu Ju, Yuting guards the northeast, it is necessary to ensure the tranquility of the three provinces, with Shanhaiguan as the boundary, Beiyang does not knock on the customs, and the Fengjun does not go south, and the three eastern provinces naturally respect the orders of the central government in terms of government affairs, but the central government must also respect the interests of the Fengjun and cannot sell the resources of the three eastern provinces." ”

"I'm relieved that Yuting can think so." Xu Shichang said with a smile: "I don't even say that I don't mention official business, and I am involved in this again, I am really a little old, and I am always confused." ”

Everyone present laughed secretly in their hearts, this old man from Beiyang had been very prosperous in the Qing Dynasty in the past, and until now, he had been confused, but everyone didn't break it. Beiyang needs to stabilize the situation, the Feng army needs to recuperate, and seize the time to lay the foundation of industry and agriculture.

After the matchmaker arrived, the preparations for the marriage were almost over, and on the right day, guests and friends from all walks of life gathered together, and it was very lively. However, the groom's official Zhang Tinglan also encountered a little trouble, that is, the problem of dress, if according to the Western wedding, the snow-white wedding dress with the suit, Zhang Zuolin and Zhang Zuoxiang They will definitely not be used to it.

Similarly, if it is wearing a horse coat or something, Zhang Tinglan is still unwilling, after all, this outfit is left by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, after thinking about it, Zhang Tinglan simply wore a military uniform, with a reasonable cut and exquisite workmanship, and the lieutenant general's uniform was worn on his body, revealing a spirit from the inside out.

In addition, Zhou Xinyao's new makeup also has to take a lot of twists and turns, zuihou adopts the basic style of Hanfu, using a bright red color, the clothes are not embroidered with dragon and phoenix Chengxiang, mandarin ducks playing in the water and other things, just a simple embroidery of a little orchid, the cuffs and placket are made of bright yellow, embroidered with plum blossoms, and a long skirt, which is similar to the wedding dress, but it also reveals the festivity and luxury of the East.

There is no phoenix crown or the like on the head, just a simple embellishment of some jewels hairpins, but when you pick it up like this, everything looks very suitable, not too luxurious to show off, and it is auspicious and peaceful.

The red and green gemstone jade, against the white face of Zhou Xinyao, looks extremely moving, a heroic officer, a charming lady, the two of them glanced at each other, and they all had a trace of distraction.

Not only the two of them, but everyone else was also like this, and the young marshal Zhang Xueliang couldn't forget this kind of excitement, so he hurriedly slapped the cameraman who was a little dazed.

"Don't stand stupidly, hurry up and take a photo, humble words, this dress is thought of by you, I'm afraid that after others see it, the wedding outfit will be set, compared to the wedding dress, compared to the new trend such as the phoenix crown and the xiaxia, why did you say I didn't think of it at the beginning!"

"If you want, can you get married again?"

"Humble words, you'd better be polite to me today, otherwise there are so many of us, let's go to the cave room together today, I'll see how you end."

Between the words, a group of little brothers came over, Zhang Xueming, Wu Kaijie, Feng Yong, Zhang Shaoxing, Ji Yonghua, and there is a Zhang Tingshu in the back, the lineup is quite strong, and these scum of the Fengjun gathered together, and they all had bad smiles, full of bad intentions.

After Zhang Tinglan saw it, he was also big for a while, but he didn't have anything to do, who called the custom like this. After taking the wedding photos, Zhou Xinyao was surrounded and returned to the manor outside the city. In a blink of an eye, it was three o'clock in the afternoon, which was the auspicious time personally selected by Lao Zhang and several people.

Zhang Tinglan was surrounded by a group of little brothers, and went to greet his relatives together, and at this time Zhang Tinglan also rode on the sweaty BMW streamer, at this time the streamer has almost completely grown up, compared to other war horses, almost a head higher, facing other war horses, like a spirited king.

Maybe it's because I know that today is the master's big day, the streamer is exceptionally obedient and tame, honest, not troublesome at all, the pale golden fur is also brushed and clean, in the sun, as if it is a golden sculpture, majestic and majestic.

Seeing that these little brothers are envious, they have such a good horse, and they are really more popular than any car, no wonder Zhang Tinglan is unwilling to arrange the use of a car, everyone is surrounded by the mighty groom official, and when they arrived outside the city, they ushered in a newcomer.

Zhou Xueyuan personally took his daughter's hand and handed her over to Zhang Tinglan, and the old man's face also looked very excited.

"Don't treat Xin Yao badly, otherwise the old man will definitely not be polite!"

"Don't worry." Zhang Tinglan took the jade hand of the beauty, welcomed her back to the house, and according to the traditional etiquette, saluted Zhang Zuoxiang, thanked the matchmaker Xu Shichang, and the wedding also reached the most lively climax.

Zhang Tinglan had to cheer up, barely parryed, and walked past a few tables in a row, and suddenly Zhang Tinglan's chief of guard, Shen Hua, walked quickly to Zhang Tinglan's ear, and whispered a few words, Zhang Tinglan's heart chuckled, but he still didn't show any abnormality, but frequently raised glasses with these people.

After a round of entertainment, Zhang Tinglan pretended to be overwhelmed, left the hall, and walked quickly to the side of the private room, only to see two tall Russians sitting inside, it was the governor of the Far East, Felix, and his henchman Kretchkov.

"Zhang, I heard that today is your wedding, I want to congratulate you, this is a little gift from me!"

Zhang Tinglan glanced at the extremely precious gemstone necklace, and then turned his head to look at Felix: "Old friend, if you sincerely congratulate me on my marriage, you shouldn't come over today!" ”

Felix shrugged helplessly, and said with a wry smile: "I can't help it, Li Vov has stepped down, the provisional government has fallen into Kerensky's hands, he has always regarded the loss of the Middle East Road as the biggest shame for Russia, and is trying to mobilize troops and gather in the Far East, this time he sent Liliang in the air, there are twenty combat planes, I know you don't have an air force yet, if you are not ready, I am afraid you will suffer a big loss!"
