"Don't worry." Shen Chi smiled lowly: "Although Yu Bingliang is also a major general, he is not a worry for me. ”

Seeing Lin Xiaoling's puzzled face, he affectionately hugged her waist and whispered in her ear: "Where did you get his rank of major general?" ”

"Yu Bingliang has no ability, and he has no backstage, if it weren't for his luck, let alone a major general, he would probably have died on the battlefield."

"Luck?" Lin Xiaoliang was a little puzzled, he didn't understand what kind of luck could make people rise to the top and sit in the position of major general.

"yes." Shen Chi quickly kissed her and said, "The old chief who just passed away should know, during the period of aiding the dynasty, that old man personally went to the battlefield because of the sacrifice of his eldest son, and was saved by Yu Bingliang. Because it was a disguised way to save New China, which was already in turmoil at that time, after discussion by the General Staff, he was promoted from a lieutenant to a major general. ”

"From lieutenant to major general!?" Lin Xiaoqian looked incredible.

"Yes." Shen Chi was a little amused, "Actually, where is this honor, those people in the staff department are scolding him, and of course they are also blocking the mouths of the soldiers below." It's a pity that Yu Bingliang is a self-feel-good person, and he doesn't understand what they mean at all, and he really takes himself seriously. ”

Lin Xiaoliang was even more puzzled, "Listening to what you mean, the staff doesn't seem to be friendly to Yu Bingliang, why is this?" "You know, the old chief was very popular at that time.

"Are you really the old chief of Yu Bingliang who has the ability to save Rong Ma's life?" Shen Chi sneered: "The older generation knows about this, if it weren't for him grabbing the old chief's hand and slapping his ass, the old chief wouldn't be unable to react when the grenade was thrown." Forget it, the old chief didn't settle accounts with him. Yu Bingliang told others that the old chief was saved by him, and the picture of him pulling the old chief to the side was indeed seen by others, and others didn't know it, so they naturally believed it. It didn't take long for Yu Bingliang's 'glorious deeds' to spread throughout the barracks. ”

"Including the old chiefs at the time. The high-ranking members of the military department were choked by him, pinched their noses and gave him the rank of major general, but did not give him any real position. How many years have passed, and other people with the same rank as him have risen more or less, only he has been in the position of major general and has not moved. ”

If it weren't for the fact that he kept talking about how he saved the old chief back then, the matter of his illegitimate daughter would have been publicized a long time ago. How can you be as free as you are now? After all, the top brass of the military department did not want the soldiers to think that they were "ungrateful."

"Can you do this!?" Lin Xiaoliang said in surprise.

She suddenly had a sense of understanding where Lu Rong's strange attribute came from.

"So you don't have to worry, Yu Bingliang can't pose a threat to me, don't look at him as a major general, but his real power in the military department is not as good as a major and lieutenant colonel."

On Sunday evening, Zheng Cuicui came to take Lin Xiaoliang to the banquet as promised.

"When does the banquet end?" Shen Chi asked Zheng Cuicui.

"Twelve o'clock. But you don't have to stay that late, you can be back around nine o'clock. Zheng Cuicui looked at Lin Xiaoliang, who was wearing a mint-colored cheongsam with an elegant and beautiful temperament, and couldn't help but admire: "My younger brother and sister look really good in a cheongsam, and the fragrance of books on their bodies can't be covered, just like what came out of the painting." ”

Shen Chi was unhappy, although he also thought Wanwan was good-looking, but he didn't want other men to see it!

He began to regret encouraging Wanwan to follow his sister-in-law to the banquet. I almost said something remorseful in my mouth.

"Be careful, I'll pick you up then." Because it was decided that Zheng Cuicui, the sister-in-law, would take Lin Xiaoliang into the social arena, Shen Chi would not be able to go.

But with this experience. Next time she said anything, she wouldn't let Lin Xiaoliang go to the banquet alone, what if she was targeted by wolves!

"I know, you and Xiao Rice Cake also have a good dinner, remember to supervise him to eat all the vegetables." Lin Xiaoliang admonished.

Zheng Cuicui took Lin Xiaoliang into the car, and Shen Chi watched the car disappear from sight.

"Nervous?" In the car, Zheng Cuicui asked softly.

"It's fine." Lin Xiaoliang shook his head. Some coquettishly said: "Isn't there a sister-in-law?" Because Zheng Cuicui's personality is not aggressive, although she and her do not meet much. They got along well.

"Don't count on me." Zheng Cuicui was a little ashamed and said: "In the past, because of the relationship between Liu Yuzhi and Dong Fei, I almost never participated in this kind of banquet. The only few experiences I had were when I was still in the Zheng family when I was a child. ”

"It's okay, let's remind each other." Lin Xiaoliang said with a smile.

She really didn't feel nervous, firstly, Shen Chi's current identity gave her enough security, and secondly, although she didn't like it in the later generations, she had also participated in many banquets, although the specifications were not as high as now, but no matter how high the people who held the banquets now, they could not be compared with the extraordinary ordinary banquets in later generations.

"By the way, where are you going this time?" Lin Xiaoliang looked at the darkening sky outside the house and asked.

"It's to go to the Rui family, the old man of their family is 70 years old today, because my aunt is the eldest daughter-in-law of the Rui family, I will think of bringing you here." Zheng Cuicui said with a smile.

"That birthday gift...... Lin Xiaoliang was a little panicked, she didn't bring any gifts.

"Peace of mind." Zheng Cuicui patted her hand soothingly and said, "If you want to prepare a birthday gift, I would have informed you a long time ago, but you are following me to familiarize yourself with it this time, how can I let you break the bank, I have already prepared the birthday gift." ”

Zheng Cuicui knew that her uncle's economic situation was not bad, but like her husband, thinking that this younger brother had suffered so much, she wanted to prepare everything for him.

"Sister-in-law, don't be like this in the future, the gift of the first meeting should be prepared by me to show sincerity." Lin Xiaoliang said helplessly.

"Just this once, it's up to you in the future." Zheng Cuicui chuckled and said: "What I prepared for you this time is a piece of good bloodstone, which I found before I was trustworthy, Old Man Rui has no other hobbies, he just likes to carve seals by himself, and the bloodstone will definitely be liked by him." ”

Lin Xiao smiled and said, "Let my sister-in-law bother." "I thought about when I would compensate my sister-in-law from somewhere else.

The Rui family lives not far from the military compound, and with these few words, they have reached their destination.

The two got out of the car and entered an old bungalow that was also amazing in the night.

In front of the door, well-dressed guests greeted each other, and from time to time there was a low laugh.

"Cousin Cuicui, why is it only here now?" Just then, a voice came.

Lin Xiaoliang looked up and saw a pretty woman with short hair walking quickly. When she got closer, Zheng Cuicui introduced: "This is my cousin Rui Ying, Yingying, this is my younger sister Lin Xiaoliang, you two are about the same age, but you have to get along well."

"Hello." Lin Xiaoliang smiled slightly, even if there was a night cover, the delicate eyebrows and eyes also revealed a different kind of beauty.

Rui Ying's eyes flashed, and she smiled toothyly: "Where is this big beauty?" The limelight of the capital's ladies will be suppressed by you alone. ”

These words sounded like pantothenic acid, but Lin Xiaoliang inexplicably felt that Rui Ying was in a good mood, as if she was looking forward to something.

"You dead girl, it's good to say this in private, and you can pay attention when there are a lot of people." Zheng Cuicui glared at her.

"Yes, yes. My cousin is not kind, and when I have a new person, I forget about the old person. Rui Ying sighed.

Zheng Cuicui couldn't help but smile when she looked like she was singing and writing: "Okay, okay, don't play tricks, take us in." ”

"Obey, Empress Dowager Zheng!" Rui Ying laughed and made a joke.

Zheng Cuicui and Lin Xiaoliang followed behind Rui Ying, walking away, and Rui Ying also whispered to them about today's banquet.

"There are a lot of people here today, you are early, I will take you to eat something first. Grandpa is still resting, and he will not come forward until the guests of the older generation come. Pay attention, there should be a lot of people paying attention to you today. ”

Whether it is the eldest young lady of the Han family, who lives in a simple house, or the newly released second young lady of the Han family, they will be the focus of everyone's attention.

"Aunt is in charge of today's banquet?" Because she had been mentally prepared for a long time, Zheng Cuicui did not panic when she heard this, but asked in a low voice.

Rui Ying pursed her lips when she heard this, "A few aunts wanted to intervene, but they were pressed down by grandma's bullets." ”

Rui Ying's mother and Zheng Cuicui's mother are sisters, both have the surname Sheng, but Rui Ying's mother is younger, because she has not officially participated in the work, so she was not implicated during the Cultural Revolution.

Although she is the youngest daughter, Rui Ying's mother has received the same education as the above sisters, and she was not spoiled by her brothers and sisters in that era, she was generous and hearty and behaved moderately, otherwise she would not have been hired by the Rui family to be the eldest daughter-in-law.

In previous years, because the mother's family and several brothers and sisters were suppressed, several concubines were very arrogant for a few years, if it weren't for the support of their in-laws, I am afraid that they would have no place to stand in the Rui family. Even so, life was very depressing, and even Rui Ying was affected. Now that the time is running, although the Sheng family suffered a lot of losses in the Cultural Revolution, the Sheng family brothers and sisters have been successfully rehabilitated and reused, and the aunts in the family no longer dare to be as unscrupulous as before, and she inevitably has a feeling of raising her eyebrows.

"What about your brother?" Zheng Cuicui asked.

"They're following Dad to entertain the men."

Today's banquets are not like in later generations, where the female companion will only be a fiancée or wife, so there are many single guests who come alone, so they must be received separately.

Although it is not as strict as in ancient times, and even the places where guests are entertained are divided into men and women, it is always a little more awkward for men and women to get along with each other, and they are afraid of gossip.

Handing over the prepared birthday gift to the attendant at the door, the three of them walked all the way through the hall to a large banquet hall.

At this time, the banquet was already in the form of a buffet, and although the food and drinks were not as varied as in later generations, they looked quite decent.

"You take a break here, take whatever you want to eat, and I'll entertain the other guests." Bringing them to the rest area and sitting down, Rui Ying said goodbye. (To be continued)
