A high-ranking big man like Zhuge Weidao is gearing up, ready to provoke a big war that is enough to change the world pattern. When the Ming Empire seized the right to dominate the world. A small person like Lu Benwei doesn't care about this world war at all. Although he had just returned to the Ming mainland from the Persian Gulf Fleet, which was at the forefront of the war, he was also promoted from a sergeant to a third major non-commissioned officer for his outstanding performance in the battle of Goa. But there's only one thing on his mind now - get married, hurry!

Here's the lesson he learned in the Battle of Goa - he almost died! If you die without even marrying your wife, won't you live in vain in this life? So when he returned to China with his old boss Lei Teng, he said that he wanted to retire and return to his hometown in Yunnan to get married.

But that Lei Teng didn't want to let him go! Lu Benwei has good eyes, and he is born with night eyes, and his skills in using rangefinders are also clever, one test is accurate! How reassuring is resting on the mast?

So the colonel Lei Da told him that it was difficult to get a wife without land in the countryside, and his points were not enough, and he had to work for a few more years to divide the land in the countryside, and if he was in a hurry to get married, it was better to go to a big city like Shanghai to find it. There are a lot of young girls there, and they don't require their husbands to have a field at home, as long as they have a good house and a good job, that's basically enough.

Lei Teng also told Yu Benwei that the economy is not good now, and it is difficult for a non-commissioned officer like him who has not studied any books and has no skills to find a job after retiring, so it is better to work as a third-level non-commissioned officer first - for ordinary people, this is a high-paying job!

Moreover, if he now takes the "points" to exchange for a house in Shanghai, he can still be taken care of by the navy, and it will not be difficult for him to build a small building with a single family near the Wusong Military Port.

With such conditions, if he is lucky, he can still find a beautiful one with a lot of dowry, then he will be lucky.

Colonel Lei also patted his chest and said that he had a cousin named Lei Tianying, who was the manager of the Wusong Military Port Navy Club in Shanghai.

So. Lu Benwei fooled him into coming to Shanghai, the most prosperous city of the Ming Empire. Now he is sitting in a Shanghai car with Feng Mingshan, a third-class noncommissioned officer of the Naval Aviation.

The owner of this car is Lei Teng's cousin Lei Tianying, he is a retired lieutenant commander of the navy, dignified, tall and burly, although he is no longer in active service, but he has obtained the position of a naval club manager, and continues to serve the navy of the Ming Empire.

He is still known for his warm-heartedness, and he can arrange all the naval colonels and admiral-level officers who come to Shanghai for vacation. And he also likes to protect the media for officers and non-commissioned officers, and the success rate is quite high. Over time, he also had two very loud nicknames in the navy, one was called "Yue Lao Lei" and the other was called "Pimp Lei".

Today, he is "Yue Lao Lei", and now he is driving his newly bought Shanghai brand car, pulling two naval sergeants who want to please the lady, and walking on the bright four-horse road.

Together with Yu Benwei is a twenty-four or five-year-old airship pilot, who is also a third-class non-commissioned officer, a native of Liaoning, surnamed Feng, and named Mingshan. Like Yu Benwei, he is a "third-level non-commissioned officer major" with no background, no diploma, and no family. So there are a lot of requirements for the other half, and they are talking to Lei Tianying about this all the way.

"Lieutenant Colonel Lei, do you think that a poor and white person like me can marry a lady with white skin, beautiful skin, long legs, and gentle and considerate dowry?"

Lu Benwei, who was sitting on the side, said: "This is a toad that wants to eat swan meat, right?" ”

Lei Tianying thought for a while and said with a smile: "Long legs can't do it, look at how many tall girls are there outside the car window?" ”

When Lu Benwei heard this, he also looked out of the car window with Feng Mingshan, and there were many restaurants on this four-horse road. It's almost time to eat now, and there are many waitresses on the street, most of them are short, and most of them are tall, but they are really rare. But the little waitresses all had good faces.

In addition, there are many fashionably dressed women coming and going on this street, walking in a hurry, and I don't know if they are in a hurry to go on a blind date? Looking at their height, they are mostly short.

"Then I don't want to have long legs, girl, it's good to be petite." Feng Mingshan looked at the woman passing by outside the car window, with a happy smile on his face.

"That is, white-skinned, beautiful, gentle, considerate. Have a dowry? Lei Tianying asked seriously, "Is there anything else?" ”

"It's gone." Feng Mingshan also seemed to know that he was a little "toad", and asked again, "Can it really work?" ”

Lei Tianying Road; "How much is the dowry?"

"Yes, can you ask for 6000?" Feng Mingshan tried to report the number.

Lu Benwei on the side laughed when he heard this: "6000? The annual income of our third-class non-commissioned officers is only 600 if you don't count the military merit bonus."

"It's not a problem within 10,000," Lei Tianying paused, "Mingshan, do you have any other requirements?" Now that I've said it, don't increase the price then, it won't be interesting. ”

"It's gone, it's gone." Feng Mingshan shook his head suspiciously, "Can it really work?" ”

"Okay!" Lei Tianying said, "But people also have conditions. You have to settle down in Shanghai, you can't go to the countryside to farm. ”

"That's no problem," Feng Mingshan said with a smile, "I want to plant it, but my family's land has to be planted by my brother, so I can only get a small broken house in Shanghai (a small broken house with a yard)." ”

"I'm the same," Lu Benwei said, "and all the land in the Yunnan countryside has been given to my brother, and I have nothing, so I can only go to Shanghai to get a small dilapidated house." ”

"That'll do." Lei Tianying asked again, "Alu, what else do you want?" ”

"Me?" Lu Benwei glanced at Feng Mingshan beside him, he was not as handsome as anyone else. The requirements couldn't be so high.

Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth and said, "I want to be white-skinned, beautiful, gentle, and considerate. No dowry! ”

"What?" Lei Tianying was stunned, "No dowry?" Your requirements are a bit high, it's not easy to do! ”

"Huh?" Lu Benwei looked at Lei Tianying stunned, "Then what do I want for a dowry?" ”

"That's fine! Then ask for 10,000! Lei Tianying said, "Do you two have any other requirements?" ”

"It's gone!"

"It's gone!"

Lei Tianying suddenly stepped on the brakes at this time, stopped the car, and then turned back to the two and said, "You two non-commissioned officer commanders had better keep working until they can't do it, and the woman I introduced to you especially likes to be a soldier." ”

"Okay! I'll keep working in the Navy until the Navy doesn't want me! ”

"Me too!"

Lei Tianying laughed and said, "Okay, get out of the car. We're here. ”

Where?

Feng Mingshan and Lu Benwei got out of the car, looked up, and found that they were standing outside an antique building that looked a little more delicate and less magnificent. At the entrance of the building, a small wooden sign was hung with the words "Big Black House".

"The Big Black House?"

"Manager Lei, what is this place?"

Lei Tianying smiled: "This is the best Japanese restaurant in Shanghai. ”

"A Japanese restaurant?"

"Is the best expensive?"

Lei Tianying nodded and said, "It's definitely expensive, but you don't have to pay the bill, it's the woman's treat today." ”

"The woman has a treat?"

"This. How embarrassing? ”

Lei Tianying smiled: "What are you so embarrassed about? Soon it's a family, and they're not yours. Tidy up your uniforms and follow me! ”

As he spoke, he pulled one in one hand and pulled Feng Mingshan and Lu Benwei, the two third-level non-commissioned officers, into the big black house, which was the big black house where Zhuge Weidao and Da Heikong met for the first time. In addition to being the most exclusive Japanese restaurant in Shanghai, it is also a stronghold of the Daikoku family's high-end leather and meat business.

The transnational skin and meat business of the Dahei family is very fine, and there are all kinds of grades, of which the most high-end is of course the one like Daheikong. The second-class is to train exclusive maids for the eight great families, and the second is to find Japanese concubines for the wealthy people in the Jiangnan area. And those concubines are not for life, in many cases, they will stop after a few years, and at this time, the big black house will provide them with "remarriage" services
