Mengshan Army

Chapter 43 Chen Shu

Long Qian did not see Feng Guozhang, Feng went to Zhili on business, probably summoned by his old boss.Long Qian thought, even if Feng Guozhang was willing to talk to him calmly, regardless of previous suspicions, there would be nothing substantive to talk about—under the current circumstances, he has no power to "covet" other state capitals in Shandong, and Feng has no Bing, it is estimated that he will not fight the idea of ​​the two states in southern Shandong.Therefore, it is possible for both parties to live in peace.This is enough.

Instead, he stayed in Luoyuan Academy for a day, and generously donated 2 taels of silver as support for the establishment of the first university in the modern sense in Shandong.Yuan Shikai has a vision. In fact, many people in this era have an admirable vision and enthusiasm for establishing modern education, and Yuan Shikai is not the only one.However, Yuan's founding of Shandong University is in any case a good thing for the country and for the future.So when Zhou Xuexi accompanied Long Qian to inspect Luoyuan Academy, Long Qian praised Yuan Shikai's vision very much, and with Long Qian's generous donation, Zhou Xuexi's impression of Long Qian became even better.Zhou Xuexi, who has experience in running an industry, deeply agrees with Long Qian's idea of ​​being inclusive and emphasizing on science and engineering.Long Qian took the opportunity to suggest that after two or three years, Shandong University will be on the right track, and a branch school can be established in Lunan, and Lunan will bear all the funds.Of course Zhou Xuexi would not object.

周馥没有食言,立马下令给龙谦办了25万两银子的拨款。龙谦立即将2万两划给了周学熙。2万两银子是什么概念呢?清末一两白银的购买力大致相当于后世rmb250~260元,2万两就是五百来万巨款了,足以盖一栋像样的教学楼了。所以周学熙在其父面前很是为龙谦说了一番好话。

The once hustle and bustle of Zhengjiazhuang was completely quiet. During the days when Long Qian went to Jinan to pay a visit to the new governor, the headquarters of the Mengshan Army also moved away after the main force left.Ning Shijun moved to Yizhou with his staff, logistics and other departments according to Long Qian's instructions.The formerly bustling Zheng Family Courtyard fell silent.On this day, Zhou Yi, who had entered Yanzhou with the second bid, sent people to pick up Zheng Chan and Wen's carriage to Yanzhou. Wen's originally didn't want to go, but she couldn't bear to leave her daughter and granddaughter, so she finally agreed to Zheng Chan. Chan's request, go to Yanzhou with Zheng Chan to start a new life.

A few female companions who are usually friends with Zheng Chan came to say goodbye after hearing the news.Chen Shu who heard the news also rushed over to help Zheng Chan pack her luggage.Zheng Chan saw Wang Yuechan, who was covered in sweat, and wondered why she didn't go with the medical center. Wang Yuechan said that she and Sun Juan had asked for leave, and they would go a few days late.The medical center was divided into two this time. Sun Juan took some people to Yizhou, Zhang Hongcao took a small number of people to Yanzhou with the second bidder, and became the medical care center under the logistics department of the second bidder.Wang Yuechan was assigned to Yizhou, which was also her own request.Zheng Chan tried to persuade Wang Yuechan to go to Yanzhou with her many times, but Wang Yuechan refused.Zheng Chan guessed that she wanted to bid farewell to her old life, one of the main signs of which was to leave the Zheng family.

However, Wang Yuechan and Zheng Chan do have a relationship, in a sense they have broken through their original identities and become good sisters.After deciding not to go to Yanzhou with Zheng Chan and the Wen family, for three nights in a row, Wang Yuechan and Zheng Chan fell asleep together and had a deep talk.From the memories of the past life to the prospect of the future, I have spoken a lot from my heart.Wang Yuechan's opinion of Zhou Yi was acceptable, and he felt that Zhou Yi was still a good man. Although he had taken a fancy to Zheng Chan's beauty at the beginning, he treated Zheng Chan fairly well after marrying him. Now it is the standard of the regular army of the imperial court. , with two thousand people under his command, the future is boundless, and Zheng Chan follows him, life is safe.What Zheng Chan has to do is to give him a few sons as soon as possible, which will completely tie his heart.

Zheng Chan hoped that Wang Yuechan would go to Yanzhou with them and still live together like a family.As for Wang Yuechan personally, Zheng Chan directly expressed the hope that Wang Yuechan would remarry.Say you are young and beautiful, and you have no children. Even Huang Yusunjuan and the others can marry, so can you.There are a lot of bachelors in the team, according to your conditions, it is not difficult at all.Let me talk to him and let him find one for you.

Wang Yuechan smiled and refused.Of course she wouldn't keep the chastity for Zheng Jing, but she didn't want to hang out with Wen's anymore.But this is not willing to tell Zheng Chan.There are arrangements in the evasion team, and Long Qian also gave her a special task, and she must go to Yizhou with the headquarters.

Zheng Chan was somewhat reluctant to part with Wang Yuechan.Wang Yuechan said with a smile, they are all soldiers of the Mengshan Army, are they afraid that they will not have a chance to meet each other?How long is this?Commander Long has already made such a situation, maybe he will enter Jinan Mansion in the future.

The task Wang Yuechan mentioned was the internal suppression that Long Qian gave her to find out and reveal Long Qian's whereabouts.During this period of time, Wang Yuechan was mainly busy with this, but so far she has no clue.So every time I see Chen Shu, I feel a little hard to explain.In fact, Chen Shu didn't know that Wang Yuechan was still working as a spy.It was the same today, after helping Zheng Chan pack her luggage, Wang Yuechan deliberately chatted with Chen Shu.

"Miss Chen, it's time for you to go to Yizhou with the commander, right? When are you leaving? I'm sure I can drink your wedding wine, but it's hard for Xiaochan." Wang Yuechan said with a smile.

Chen Shu was a little embarrassed.Why didn't she want to make her wish one day earlier.But since getting engaged with Long Qian, the two haven't chatted alone, especially recently, it's hard to even see each other, "I don't know﹍﹍"

"Is Miss Chen worried that the commander will change his mind?" Seeing Chen Shu's expression, Wang Yuechan joked.

"I, I," Chen Shu lowered her head when she was told what was on her mind.

"Sister, let me tell you, don't say that Commander Long is officially engaged to you, even if there is no such ceremony, he will not break the contract. I can see this very well. I have been here and have more experience than you. You are an experienced Fortunately, I have never seen a man as well-behaved as the commander. We have many female soldiers in the Mengshan Army, but the commander has never had a heart for anyone. You can tell from his eyes. I thought it was a man at first, just like Cat, how can there be someone who doesn’t steal? Ever since I met the commander, I admit that I was wrong. There are men who are not lecherous. So, you are blessed. I don’t know how many girls in our base area secretly envy you. "

Chen Shu's face immediately glowed.

"However, I think that since you are married to the commander, you have to get used to him. He is a man of great importance and will not accompany you all day like ordinary men. Moreover, the best way for a man like the commander is to Can help him do things. So, you have to learn a lot, not only to be able to bear children for him."

Chen Shu blushed.But Wang Yuechan's words hit another layer of her mind, "I just feel that I am so stupid and don't understand anything. Besides, he doesn't tell me anything﹍﹍"

"You are not stupid at all. Really, when you get married, you will be his closest person. Why didn't he tell you? I think the commander is quite pitiful. He has no relatives around him, not even his own. It’s not easy to wash and sew clothes by hand. So I hope you’ve already married.”

The problem that has been bothering her has finally found someone to talk to, "Sister Yuechan, I think he might not like me. He has seen the world, how could he like me, a silly girl who doesn't know anything? Back then, Well, it might have been a hindrance to my uncle's face, but now the situation is different﹍﹍I think I shouldn't force him﹍﹍" Speaking of this, Chen Shu's eyes turned red.

"Huh?" Wang Yuechan never expected Chen Shu to have such an idea, "What nonsense are you talking about? What do you mean you are not good enough for him? Appearance or figure? Or something else? Didn't you come out one by one?"

"No, I know, there are some ladies in the city who are prettier than me." Chen Shu wiped her eyes with her hands.

"No. I was wrong. I think the commander doesn't value a woman's appearance! What the commander likes is your personality!"

"My surname is not good. My aunt has told me countless times to change my surname, but I just can't change it, and I don't want to."

"What are you changing! What's wrong with your surname? I think the commander just likes your straightforward surname, unlike those ladies from rich families who are coy about everything! Don't worry, I won't make a mistake. .”

"no﹍﹍"

"I said yes! When I met the commander, I told him that he is a great hero, don't care about those old rules, and marry you earlier! By the way, the commander is going to Yizhou, won't Uncle Ling go with him? "

"I don't know﹍﹍" Chen Shu really didn't know.Uncle is so busy every day that he never said whether he will go to Yizhou with the headquarters.Although my uncle did not join the Mengshan Army, because of her relationship, many people regarded him as a member of the team.My aunt did mention it, but she didn't count.What's more, there are Chen Xian and Chen Zhi﹍﹍

Chen Shu had never been to Yizhou, not even Fei County.It was because of Long Qian that she knew the vastness of this world. Outside the mountains, there were countless places that she yearned for.

Chen Shu came out of Zhengjiazhuang and walked towards Chenjiaya.Zhuangzi was already very deserted, the soldiers all over the streets in the past were gone, and she was not used to the desertedness.Most of the people in the hospital followed Song Jinguo to Yizhou, and the other part was brought to Yanzhou by Zhou Yi.If she stays here, she will not get used to it.My uncle once told my aunt that Longqian had completely changed these ten miles and eight villages. She didn't understand it before, but now she seems to understand it.That is a man with great ambition and superb ability, the man she admires.But, does he really like himself?Is what Wang Yuechan said really true?

There was still a guard standing at the gate of the village. It was Wang Mingyuan's soldier who knew Chen Shu. When he saw her coming, he stood at attention and saluted her.

In a trance, Chen Shu even forgot to return the salute to the sentinel.After walking out of Zhengjiazhuang's village gate, she looked back at the military flag fluttering above the village gate, her mind was full of Long Qian's shadow, could he have already gone to Yizhou?When are you coming back?

The sound of horseshoes awakened Chen Shu who was in deep thought. Looking around, along the excavated canal, a group of cavalry galloped close. She subconsciously gave way to the side of the road. The cavalry slowed down, and the leading rider reined in the horse. Jumping down, "Hey, what are you doing here?" Only then did she realize that it was Long Qian who she was missing who was speaking.

"Go back." Long Qian waved to the guards.

"It's you? When did you come back?" Chen Shu said in surprise.

"Just now. Didn't this just arrive?" Long Qian took a blue cloth bag from the guard, "No, I bought it for you in Jinan."

"what's that?"

"Rouge, and a cheongsam. I don't know if you like it﹍﹍"

Chen Shu involuntarily took over the burden.It was the second time that Long Qian gave her a gift, and that time was brought back by Jiang Yun. She had always carried that delicate pocket watch with her, and she was used to the Western timekeeping method, and she was used to not telling the time but telling the time.

"Missing me?" Long Qian looked at his fiancee with a smile.

"No﹍﹍" Chen Shu couldn't help but blushed when she saw two guards holding horses and standing aside watching them from a distance.It was the first time Long Qian spoke to her like this.

"I miss you too. There are too many things going on during this time, so I can't take care of seeing you. When I come back this time, I will tell Uncle Ling that when we arrive in Yizhou, let's get married, right? I have already asked Tang Zhifu to help me Looking for a house." Long Qian said softly.

"This﹍﹍" Chen Shu finally plucked up her courage, holding the blue cloth bag in her hand, "Tell me the truth, do you really like me?"

"why would you say so?"

"I'm a stupid village girl, I know it. I don't know anything, and I'm not good enough for you. I will embarrass you in the future!"

The long-lost tenderness welled up in Long Qian's heart. He thought he would never have this comfortable feeling again. When he came to this world, he felt that he had changed a lot. From being unaccustomed to getting used to it, he had already integrated into this world.Always want a woman, you can't go on as a bachelor forever.In order to avoid a possible marriage offer, Chen Shu hastily agreed.In the rare free time, he couldn't remember how many times he thought about that dark-skinned, fit and lively girl.He admitted that Chen Shu's character is out of date and out of the mainstream for this world. It may be that she missed the due date of marriage and met herself... What this era can't tolerate for Chen Shu is exactly what he intended to see. arrived.If you are a lady like Zheng Chan, you won't be able to impress yourself... However, the basic elements of love are regardless of age. Even today, a girl with a flower letter will yearn for her own love and long for the love of the man she loves. Caring and caressing... I have done too badly in this regard...

"Don't talk nonsense. You are a good girl, really. If you don't deserve it, maybe I don't deserve you. If you follow me, you will suffer a lot and be afraid﹍﹍But it doesn't matter, I will treat you well .By the way, you went to Zhengjiazhuang just now? Didn't the logistics department go to Yizhou?" Long Qian said softly.

"Deputy Commander Zhou sent someone to pick up Zheng Chan, and I'll see her off" Long Qian's words made her happy, bold enough, she stared at Long Qian carefully, and saw that he was dusty, with an undisguised expression on his face. Tired of living, feel distressed.

"Oh, then I'll go see her off too. I'll come to your house for dinner tonight, and I'll persuade Uncle Ling, all of you should go to Yizhou with me. You have to rely on Uncle Ling for many things."

"Are the younger sister and younger brother going too?"

"Of course. Why don't you go?" Long Qian smiled at Chen Shu, "Go back, I'll be there right away." (To be continued.)
