Chapter 3 First Sight Shooting, Military Exercise
The weather in Lindong is not like the UK, but fortunately it is an inland area, and there are not many rainy weather, and it is a sunny day in the blink of an eye.
This Xiao Qin's popularity is also very good, and the good Xu Zhengting is a little skeptical that this guy has come back a long time ago, how can he have more appeal than his son-in-law. Xiao Qin just said that he would go to the Dongshan shooting range to shoot targets, and for a while, this officer and that officer responded one after another, and even brought their family members with them, and the originally cold and deserted Dongshan instantly became lively.
Dongshan is the property of Xu Zhengting's Gu Jing Gu family, which was originally only used to prepare for the summer vacation, plus she herself likes to be quiet, and she does not often entertain guests here, but Xu Qishao's friends come more.
As soon as Shen Qiu got out of the car, he saw Xiao Qin wearing a righteous Scottish riding hunting suit, and couldn't help laughing, "I thought that if you joined the army, there would be changes, but I never thought that you would be the same as before." Xiao Qin shook hands with him with a smile. Turning his head, he saw the woman standing beside him, a little petite, and very good. Seeing his gaze, Shen Qiu smiled and introduced to him, "This is my cousin, Su Ruo, you met it when you were a child, I'm afraid you don't remember." "
Xiao Qin looked at her and smiled, "How can you not remember, Miss Ruoruo is really getting more and more beautiful." "
Su Ruo smiled slightly, "What does Mr. Xiao mean that I was ugly before?" Xiao Qin didn't know what to say all of a sudden, the Shen family's family education was very strict, and her daughter was generally raised in the boudoir during school, and she didn't easily participate in the banquet, and Su Ruo was even more of a baby that the Shen family was afraid of melting in her mouth and afraid of falling in her hand.
Xiao Qin looked at Shen Qiu and couldn't help but wonder, "Haha, it seems that the horse's fart is slapped on the horse's hooves." He hammered Shen Qiu's shoulder, "Good guy, forget it if you don't notify me when you return to China, if my mother didn't tell me that you came back to get married, you wouldn't be ready to tell me, right?" "
Shen Qiu rubbed his shoulders and smiled helplessly, "I'm not going to tell you, I'll send you an invitation when the specific time is set." "
The three of them walked in with a smile, the decoration in this manor is in a British style, but it gives Su Ruo a feeling of returning home, the furniture is elegant and exquisite, and there are popular abstract paintings of this period on the wall.
"Mrs. Xu studied in the UK, and everything here was arranged by her. Mrs. Xu especially liked the rural life in England, so she built this manor, in addition to the shooting range, there are also swimming, shooting, and other things. Even Qi Shao, she rarely let him come to live. Listening to Xiao Qin's introduction, the brother and sister couldn't help laughing.
Shen Qiu looked at the wisteria that was just right outside the window, and said, "That Qishao should also come today." "
Xiao Qin shook his head, with a joke expression on his face, "He, the Fifth Army has just been established, and he is busy." I don't know where I'm going to be burned. "
When Shen Qiu heard this, he knew it in his heart, and said, "I was so entertained by the seven young people, but it was disrespectful, and I will definitely go to visit the seven young people another day." "
Xiao Qin said with a smile for his words, "You don't have to be polite to him, he is the most fun-loving, and now that so many people have come, he may run back tomorrow." "
"Bang bang", with a few gunshots, one by one the darts turned into colored smoke in the air, Xiao Qin smiled complainingly, "You have a heart to get along with me, don't you?" I'm not as good as you as an entrepreneur as a chief of staff, which makes my subordinates know that they can't laugh at me. "
Shen Qiu smiled, and before he could say anything, Su Ruo next to him stood up with a smile, picked up a shotgun, and banged a few times, and there was another burst of colored smoke. The smile on Xiao Qin's face froze instantly, and he shook his head helplessly, "You brothers and sisters are really... When Qishao comes back, he will definitely help me win back face, and he is the champion of the lawn shackling competition in Washington for several consecutive years. "
"Bang bang bang", a rapid gunshot rang out, all three of them were startled, in the colorful smoke in the sky, a tall man smiled and walked over, white shirt and brown coat, particularly vibrant.
"Look, Cao Cao Cao is here, and I can't get out of it. Brother Shen, this is Qishao. "
Xu Zhengting walked up to Shen Qiu, stretched out his hand to shake hands with him, and said with a smile, "I have long admired Brother Shen's name, I am Xu Zhengting." Maybe it's time for me to change my tune, cousin-in-law? "
Shen Qiu chuckled, "It's really better to meet than to be famous, Qi Shao is polite." This is my cousin, Su Ruo. "
Xu Zhengting looked at Su Ruo, she had an extremely positive melon seed face, a pair of amber eyes looked at her quietly, her eyebrows were picturesque, she couldn't help but smile, and then glanced at the colored smoke in the air, "Miss Su is good, Miss Su's marksmanship seems to be good." "
Su Ruo bowed his head and said lightly, "Mr. Xu has won the award, so naturally he can't compare to Mr. Xu." Xu Zhengting only felt that her tone was really indifferent, and she was not even perfunctory and thoughtful.
Su Ruo was recommended by her mentor abroad, and after returning to China, she worked as a current affairs reporter at the Central Daily, and at the moment she was sitting in a rickety car, going to cover military exercises. Su Ruo felt that she should think of something now, otherwise she was really worried that she would not be able to control her churning stomach in the next second.
Thinking about something, although she has always lived abroad, she is really fascinated by the architecture of this ancient country, the pavilions, the pavilions, everything is exquisite and elegant, of course, all this is what her mother told her. However, this nation has a bad fate, not to mention that it was breached by the Eight-Nation Alliance, and now it has allowed an island country to be presumptuous in its own country. And in whose hands is the military power, the center? No, it should be in the hands of warlords everywhere, just like Lindong, headed by Zeng Overseer, and the Li family in the west has a grudge against him for killing his son, as well as Japan in the north. I heard that there has never been a big friction, but the small fights have never stopped.
The car was still bumping, Su Ruo was really afraid that she would vomit, that would be too bad, she felt that what she needed most now was to breathe fresh air. The scenery outside the window shook with the bumps of the car, where is this a highway!
After most of the day, the car finally stopped. Su Ruo was the first to jump out, greedily inhaled a few breaths of fresh air, and only felt that his stomach was finally a little more comfortable. After a long time of bumping, the car finally stopped in the open space in front of a very delicate mansion, in Su Ruo's opinion, this should be regarded as a castle, Chinese-style. The carved beams and paintings are antique, and the identity of the owner should be quite noble. She grew up abroad, and most of the compatriots she came into contact with were the remnants of the former dynasties who emigrated overseas during the revolution, and the legendary stories of the former dynasties that she talked about made her fascinated.
As soon as they got off the bus, there were many neatly dressed and beautiful young officers who came to help these reporters and ladies carry their luggage, which was ridiculously courteous. Are they really here to cover military exercises? Is it really not a party under the cloak of covering military exercises? Otherwise what about the troops? Oh, no. It was her misunderstanding that the invitations sent to major newspapers and magazines seemed to be specifically about the ball. This ball is formal, with the chief of staff as the head of the reception, and the beautiful officers carrying their luggage, and when the ball begins, it will be a big party. She had a friend in England whose father was in the cavalry, and she had gone to see their exercises, and it wasn't much different from this one, but it was all for the Union anyway.
There was no rain in the afternoon, the weather was sunny, cloudless, the sun was dappled on the green bamboo, and the water droplets hanging on the bamboo leaves shimmered brightly, like a small diamond, seeing such a scene, she was in a good mood, took out the camera from the big bag, took a few close-ups, and pulled the lens away, and ingested the misty bamboo sea into the lens, it was really beautiful here. Mother once said that her hometown is more beautiful, but her mother's hometown is on the other side of the river, and now her uncle has come to Jiangnan instead of her hometown, which is to affirm the current position of the Shen family, although she is not surnamed Shen, but it is not appropriate to go back.
Out of the corner of Su Ruo's eyes, she saw a very handsome officer walking towards her and smiled, "Miss Su, the room has been arranged for you, you can go to rest after a light meal, and there will be a press conference at four o'clock in the afternoon." Su Ruo's delicate eyebrows raised, wow, awesome, there was actually a press conference.
