Chapter 30 I finally got a taste
Chapter 30 Finally, I feel a little bit
The little loli stared at Zhou El with a mouth flattering, and thought to herself: "Didn't you say that you would help me resist the feudal arranged marriage? Now that I'm fooled by the handsome Beiyang warlord, are you going to match this girl? Humph! I don't care about it... Where are you, a matchmaker!"
Thinking of this, the little loli wanted to agree, but before she could say it, she felt it was inappropriate. She was a girl from every family. She ran out to meet her fiancé and had to make her promise in person. Moreover, the handsome warlord of the other party ignored her. Isn't this too cheap? It seemed like she couldn't get married... The little loli secretly glanced at Chang Ruiqing with a smile on her face. She didn't know what was going on. Her cheeks turned red, and her head drooped low, and said in an inauspicious voice: "I won't marry..." Then she added: "I'm still young..."
Well, this means that you should marry Chang Ruiqing as your wife if you grow up?
After making friends with Master Zhou, Chang Ruiqing's attention returned to the little loli Wang Ruonan. This little girl is worthy of being a school beauties loli! She is at most thirteen or fourteen years old, but her appearance is already beautiful. If she grows up a little longer, it will definitely be beautiful to harm the country and the people... Haha, after traveling through time for more than ten years, now she finally feels like wearing it.
Chang Ruiqing was a man of two lives and had been practicing "scam tricks" for many years. He naturally got it by cheating a little girl. He smiled slightly and took out a jewelry box that had been prepared from his military uniform pocket. After opening it, he took out a pair of diamond-set engagement rings that were made very exquisitely, walked to the little loli, put one of the female rings on the slender ring finger of her left hand. Then he said to the little loli softly: "Ruonan, this is an engagement ring. We can get engaged first. When you graduate from Nankai, we will get married officially, okay?"
"Wow, it's so romantic..." Before the little loli could not speak, the female classmates who accompanied her to resist the feudal arranged marriage could no longer help but scream. Among them, a slightly older female student who was quite beautiful was already glaring at a handsome Beiyang warlord there, probably because she wanted to book a second bedroom? Well, it was the early years of the Republic of China!
"Well, okay!" The little loli's sixth sense had already told her that the competitor might have appeared! She had to quickly label Chang Ruiqing as "Wang Ruonan"! Otherwise, she would let others snatch it away! So she also imitated Chang Ruiqing, picked up another engagement ring and put it on the ring finger of the other party's left hand, which was considered to have completed the most basic engagement ceremony. Then she glanced at the warning eyes and glanced at the younger sisters around her...
...
In the winter of Beijing, everything is slaughtering, and gusts of wind and sand are shattering the sky and the earth, covering the entire city in a dim state. The streets are empty, and there are basically no pedestrians. Only a few camels pass by the ringtones in the wind and sand. These camels are public property from the Military Supply Office of the 13th Division of the Army. They are now lending to Chang Ruiqing's model regiment to purchase supplies. However, the 13th Division's headquarters can be located in the Nanyuan Barracks in the south of Beijing, almost close to Fengtai County. I don't know what the officers responsible for purchasing the model regiment were thinking, how did they lead these camels to Zhongguaner in the northwest of Beijing.
This area called "Zhongguaner" was the famous Zhongguancun in the future. However, in the early Republic of China, it was desolate and dilapidated. This was originally a gathering place and burial place for retired eunuchs. When the Qing Dynasty was not destroyed, there was still a bit of popularity here. Some powerful eunuchs often came here to choose cemeteries for themselves, and at the same time, they also helped those "retired" eunuchs who had no support and had never had the power to gain power.
.But now it is the Republic of China. The Emperor Xuantong in the Forbidden City had long been unable to take care of the Eight Banners relatives, so how could he care about these old eunuchs who had "retired"? However, in this area of Zhongguaner, there were not only old and stupid eunuchs, but also some young eunuchs who were eliminated by the Ministry of Internal Affairs on the grounds of saving money. They had nowhere to go, so they gathered here to build a broken shed and rent a few acres of thin fields to make a living.
The two officers who led the camel caravan here were not wearing military uniforms. They were all wearing thick cotton robes, fur hats, and wrapped their heads tightly with scarves. They saw that they had already arrived in front of a torn shack. One of them said to the other, "Sir, this is here." As he said that, he raised his hand and pointed to the middle of the shack: "The eunuch Meng I mentioned to you live there."
The chief said with a little complaining tone: "Isn't it just an eunuch, or he was driven out. What kind of airs do we have to visit the thatched cottage three times... Haha, this shack is worse than that of the thatched cottage..."
The man laughed and said, "No matter how devastated this eunuch Meng is now, he has always been in glory. I think he was a celebrity in front of Xiao Dezhang. If it weren't for the change of dynasty, he might have been the next eunuch. This person was found by a very humble person."
As he said that, he pulled the reins again and led the camel caravan to the direction he had just pointed. The chief said to himself: "Xiao Dezhang is so rich now, and he doesn't know that Zhou Ji's old subordinates. This eunuch is indeed a cold and slutty person..." As he said that, he shook his head and followed him.
The two men and a few camels finally stopped at the door of a dilapidated small yard. The man who was in charge raised his hand and started knocking on the door. He used his strength a little more and pounded the broken door panel and shook it. After a few beats, he heard a duck complaining in the door: "What are you hitting? If you smash this broken piece of wood, what are you paying for?"
The door creaked open, and saw a young man wearing a torn cotton coat and a dish-like face looking at the two mysterious visitors in anger. The young man had no beard on his face and his hair was messy like a straw nest, but his braids had been cut off. Although these "former eunuchs" were abandoned by the Qing emperors, there were not many braids that were really twisted.
The man knocked on the door to pull off the headscarf wrapped around his head and laughed at the young eunuch, "Xiao Meng, it's me, your broken shack has been settled in the end, and the door panel will be broken if it breaks."
The man who spoke was gentle and had boundless glasses on his nose, looking like a scholar. His surname was Ren Yijiang and his courtesy name was Yichen. He was from Jinghai County, Zhili. He had some land in his family. His father was a small landlord and teacher, and his fame of a scholar. If it were not for the "Gengzi National Change" (the Treaty of Xin Chou stipulated that any province that had caused the Boxer Rebellion would stop the imperial examination and end in the New Year), he might have won a juren or something before the Qing Dynasty was destroyed. Ren Yijiang himself was in his father's private school.
The "Four Books and Five Classics" I read, this thing is useless after abolishing the imperial examination. No matter how good you learn, it is to serve as a document for bureaucrats and warlords and draft official documents. Now he is the document in the Model Camp... In addition, he is not sure what path he is going, but he was also absorbed into the Red Brigade by Wu Shi, deputy battalion commander of the Model Camp! Wu Shi, who is about to be promoted to deputy commander, is now following Ren Yijiang to the desolate and desolate Zhongguaner to meet this eunuch Meng. He is now frowning and looking at eunuch Meng in front of him.
Eunuch Meng glanced at the two of them, a hint of surprise flashed across his face, but in a blink of an eye he looked calm again: "Oh, it's Brother Yichen, this one is..."
Ren Yijiang seemed a little excited, and pulled Eunuch Meng to Wu Shi and explained loudly: "Xiao Meng, Meng Li, also from Jinghai, Zhili, and I are fellow villagers. I have been in the palace since I was a child. I have served the eunuch general manager Xiao Dezhang - this is Mr. Wu, our leader, and he wants to reward you with his job. Xiao Meng quickly clean up and go with me!"
