The temperature of the midsummer night in the north is still slightly cool, the air is floating with the refreshing fragrance of lilacs, and the blue brick buildings of the Marshal's Mansion are brightly lit, and the light shines through the double-glazed windows, reflecting the English roses in the Western-style flower garden in front of the entire blue brick building as if painted with a layer of dark shadows, and the burgundy color is more and more delicate and blurry.

Xue Zhenting stood in front of the wide dressing mirror, looked at his appearance in military uniform, and asked Xu Huaiyou, the adjutant who had followed him for many years: "Jingzhi, do you think I'm a little old?" ”

Xu Huaiyou said with a smile while arranging the gold thread tassels on the epaulettes of his dress: "The Overseer is just a year of not being confused, and he has just been appointed by the cabinet as the overseer and governor of Fengtian, which is the age of majestic and heroic, how can you say that you are old?" ”

Xue Zhenting glanced at Xu Huaiyou, gently stroked the faintly itchy old wound on his arm, and said with a faint smile: "You will comfort me......"

After finishing speaking, he sighed softly: "In the twenty years of his career as a horseman, I am used to seeing life and death, but I am biased against my own people who are old and frail, and people who are used to blood, even if they die, they hope to die on the battlefield......"

When Xu Huaiyou heard that Xue Zhenting was compassionate for no reason, his heart moved slightly, and he said in a low voice: "Overseer, do you remember something?" ”

Xue Zhenting smiled, turned around and took the saber in the hand of the attendant, pinned it lightly to his waist, looked in the mirror again, and then asked, "What about Chengxuan, go and see if it's okay ......?"

Xu Huaiyou stood aside and said softly, "Da Shao has been waiting for the Overseer in the Flower Hall for a long time......

Xue Zhenting smiled lightly: "This kid, after coming back from Russia, it seems like a different person, I thought that I raised him such a demon king of the world, I have no hope for the rest of my life, no matter how big the family business is, he will be ruined sooner or later, who knows that he has only been in Russia for four years, and when he comes back, he will become like a person......

Xu Huaiyou laughed unconsciously when he heard what he said: "In fact, the overseers have always been too strict with Da Shao, a young man like him, in this troubled world, which one is not a freshly dressed angry horse, wanton and happy, it is only because he was born in a military honor family that he has to restrain his temperament for ......."

Xue Zhenting was silent for a moment, and said lightly: "Sooner or later, my merits will hit him, I am desperate to protect my family and defend the country, if I can't benefit my children and grandchildren a little, then what am I trying to do?" ”

Xu Huaiyou bowed his head and said: "The young man has a strategy, and he is young and old, and with time, he will become a great ......."

Xue Zhenting frowned and sighed: "I'm not worried that he is less strategic and not old, I'm just worried that he is too conceited and his methods are too ruthless......"

His own son, he naturally knew, acted ruthlessly and perversely, which was his usual practice.

Xu Huaiyou hesitated and said: "Da Shao is still young......

Xue Zhenting turned to look at him and smiled: "Don't talk about him, let's go...... Fan Qiming should be in a hurry......"

When I went downstairs, I had just walked to the corner of the stairs, and the young man who was sitting on the dark green sofa reading a book in the middle of the flower hall heard the footsteps, slowly stood up, raised his eyes slightly, and called out respectfully, "Father." ”

Xue Zhenting saw him and smiled: "Wait a minute." ”

Xue Shao put the book next to the phone and said lightly: "Don't be in a hurry......"

Xue Zhenting glanced him up and down, only to see that he was wearing a white shirt on his upper body, a pair of dark blue military pants on his lower body, and a brown thick cowhide belt around his waist.

He is handsome, and this one is simple, but it also looks heroic.

He is only nineteen years old this year, but he has a rare stable temperament, and he acts and speaks in a measured manner.

It is still a little undignified for him to dress up to go to the banquet, but Xue Shao has no military rank, and tonight is just a celebration reception held by the Zhejiang and Suzhou Chamber of Commerce for himself, the protagonist is him Xue Zhenting, and Xue Shao is willing to wear it as he likes.
