Years of the Republic of China 1913

"Brother Xizi, brother Yuntai, why are you here?" Fang Zida hurriedly got up to greet him, feeling strange in his heart.Why did Yang Du and Yuan Keding come to find him together?Since the last misunderstanding, although Yang Du didn't say anything, he was always upset. Whenever he saw Yuan Keding, he always looked unhappy, but today they both looked happy at the same time. What's going on?

"Congratulations to Zhang Ming, congratulations to Zhang Ming! Your good deed has come!" Yang Du hurriedly approached a few steps with a smile, and cupped his hands to congratulate Fang Zida, which made the second monk Fang Zida Zhang confused.

"Did the President agree to the Central Bank?" Fang Zida asked, but looking at Yuan Keding, who was happier than Yang Du, he felt puzzled again. It would be normal for Yang Du to congratulate him on the Central Bank. , but why is Yuan Keding so happy?This matter has nothing to do with him.

"Yes, no, no, yes..." Yang Du smiled, looked around, took Fang Zida's hand and said, "Let's go, let's find a secluded place and have a few drinks."

"Uncle Yang is right, I'll invite this wine boy." Yuan Keding poked his head out from behind and said cheerfully. The two dragged Fang Zida away, and Jin Jiu who was present was completely ignored. It was as if he didn't exist at all.

Seeing them enthusiastically pulling Fang Zida away, the stunned Jin Jiu came back to his senses, the slight sense of loss that was ignored by others disappeared in an instant, and was replaced by ecstasy in his heart.

"Yang Xizi...Yuan Yuntai...good guy! Master Fang is good enough, it looks like he is just around the corner!" The appearance of Yang Du and Yuan Keding made Jin Jiu even more determined to hug Fang Zida's thigh and have a good day The idea of ​​passing, not to mention seeing the current "Prince" at close range now, this is the capital to brag about.

Grinning a few times, Jin Jiu sat down triumphantly, picked up a peanut from the plate and threw it into his mouth, shook his head and hummed a tune: "I'm... watching the mountain view from the tower, and I can hear... chaos outside the city, Banners... fluttering... empty shadows...."

Fang Zida was inexplicably dragged to the restaurant by them, and went to the private room, where he sat and watched a table full of wine and food, and two cheerful and straight-smiling guys on the left and right.

"I said you two, what's the matter? It's not time to eat yet?"

"It's alright, it's alright, eat slowly, drink slowly, come on, I'll offer you a toast first!" Yang Du raised his glass with a smile and drank it first, before he put down the glass, Yuan Keding was also holding the glass coming.

He didn't know anything, so he drank two glasses of wine for no reason. Fang Zida couldn't laugh or cry and said, "Can't you talk about things first? How can I drink this wine in a daze?"

"Hahaha!" Yang Du and Yuan Keding looked at each other and laughed, and looked at Fang Zida with an ambiguous and strange look, which made Fang Zida's goosebumps almost rise.

"Brother Xizi, is it the Central Bank's business? If you don't make it clear, brother, you won't drink this wine."

"Hehe, look, is this kid still in a hurry?" Yang Du said happily, pointing at Fang Zida with the fan handle upside down, and said with a smile: "Should I stop talking, yes or no, no yes. Zhang Ming! You are so lucky Ah! You have to agree to this good thing, let alone a central bank, no matter how many requests are made, the president will not refuse."

Fang Zida was at a loss when he heard it, and he still couldn't understand after a long time.what a good thingWhat does it mean to come down?What and what?

At that moment, Yang Du nodded at Yuan Keding, indicating that he would do the talking, and Yuan Keding was not polite, and immediately stated Yuan Shikai's plan directly.

"Ah! Me? President? Son-in-law?"

Fang Zida was stunned by the news and didn't recover for a long time.

"Brother Zhang Ming, as long as you marry my sister, we will be a family in the future. If the family doesn't talk about each other, what else can we not discuss?" Yuan Keding's face turned into a chrysanthemum with a smile, as if Like a prostitute who is a pimp in a brothel, he kept praising his younger sisters for how beautiful they are, how gentle and virtuous they are, Fang Zida's head grew dizzy.

"Extreme, extreme!" Yang Du was beating the drum on the side: "Shang Ming, you are not too young, you should have started a family long ago, there are three ways to be unfilial, and having no descendants is the greatest. Not to mention the ladies of the President I have seen both of my brothers, so they can be called a good match."

"This……."

Fang Zida took advantage of the gap between pulling out his cigar to sort out some confused thoughts in his mind. This matter was absolutely unexpected to him. Who would have thought that Yuan Shikai's recruitment of him as his son-in-law would suddenly appear because of the Central Bank matter.To be honest, Fang Zida was not mentally prepared at all, and was caught off guard by Yang Du and Yuan Keding today.But if you think about it carefully, this is not a bad thing. Fang Zida actually doesn't pay much attention to women's sex. He usually looks at beautiful women a lot. After a lot, to put it bluntly, everyone just takes what they need.

Lit up the cigar and took a puff, Fang Zida carefully considered the pros and cons of this matter, he knew very well that this was not only a hydrangea thrown by Yuan Shikai, but also a temptation for him.If he refused, Fang Zida would cut off his own way of retreat and draw a clear line between Yuan Shikai and Beiyang. Fang Zida would never do such a reckless move.

As for the promise, there are many benefits to Fang Zida's failure.Not to mention that through marriage, Yuan Shikai and Beiyang have achieved a good deal of separation. After becoming Yuan Shikai's son-in-law, whether it is Yuan Shikai himself or the big men of Beiyang, they will become his political backing, just like what Yang Du said just now Yes, not to mention a mere central bank, Yuan Shikai will support even more requests.

In China today, Beiyang is the most powerful. After the failure of the "Second Revolution", Yuan Shikai's prestige among the people has reached a new height.With Yuan Shikai's support, no matter from the point of view of future reform or development, taking this step will definitely not suffer a loss.

Of course, Fang Zida also considered the reactions of Song Jiaoren and kmt, but he threw this idea behind him after thinking about it for a while.Today's era is not the era of a hundred years later. It is common for aristocratic families and political struggles to marry each other. Everyone will leave a way out for themselves and their families. This has been a common practice in China for thousands of years. Song Jiaoren and others As for the unavoidable views, Fang Zida felt that as long as he communicated well with Song Jiaoren and others, these were trivial matters.

As for which daughter Yuan Shikai wants to marry, is this daughter really as beautiful as a flower and jade, gentle and virtuous as Yang Du and Yuan Keding said?This Fang Zida is not very worried.Looking at the appearance of Yuan Keding and Lao Yuan in front of him, Yuan Shikai's daughter will not grow into the virtue of a sow. As long as people are sensible and obedient, Fang Zida will be satisfied.

Fang Zida has always been a decisive person. After hesitating for a while, he figured out the pros and cons, and immediately laughed.

"The great love of the President, the hard work of Brother Xizi and Brother Yuntai, how can I, Fang Zida, not know how to praise? To be honest, I just want to ask the two of you these few days to ask if there is any family in Beijing who is a lady who has not yet left the cabinet." I didn’t expect the two of you to bring such news before I even opened my mouth, which really surprised and delighted Zida! It’s just that... Zida is a little talented, the daughter of the president, who can see fuck me?"

Seeing Fang Zida being so forthright and knowledgeable, Yang Du and Yuan Keding were overjoyed at the same time. They immediately patted their chests and promised to leave the matter to them. As long as Fang Zida agrees, they will take care of the rest. When the time comes, they will go to the presidential palace as a guest. By the way, call the daughter of the Yuan family out to meet, and if neither party objects, the matter will be settled.

After the matter was settled, Yang Du and Yuan Keding were in a better mood, and the relationship between the three of them suddenly became much closer, and they were very cordial. They drank the wine until the night, and the three of them broke up.

After breaking up with Yang Du and the others outside the restaurant, Fang Zida looked at the two people who had gone away. He who was still half drunk just now straightened up suddenly. How could he still be half drunk?

"Interesting, it's really interesting..." Thinking back to what happened just now, Fang Zida couldn't help laughing secretly. Youdao planted flowers intentionally, but unintentionally planted willows and willows to make shade!

Looking at the time on the watch, Fang Zida did not go home, but immediately went to Song Jiaoren's house.

"you've been drinking?"

"I drank with Yang Du, Yuan Keding and the others, from the afternoon to just now." Fang Zida nodded, sat down and unceremoniously took the tea on the table and drank it down.

"Yuan Keding?" Song Jiaoren was taken aback, he wouldn't be surprised if it was just Yang Du, but why did Yuan Keding invite Fang Zida to drink with Yang Du?And judging by the way Fang Zida rushed over, something must have happened.

"I have something to tell Brother Dunchu." Fang Zida said bluntly: "Today they were entrusted by the President to find me. Guess why?"

"For the Central Bank?" Song Jiaoren blurted out, but he shook his head as soon as the words came out: "No! What does this have to do with Cripple Yuan? Why did he come here to intervene?"

"Haha! I thought so too at the beginning." Fang Zida laughed and said, "I later found out that this was not the case at all. The two of them came here to propose marriage to me."

"Proposal? What kind of marriage?" Song Jiaoren was taken aback for another moment, then he immediately understood, stood up in surprise and said, "Could it be..."

"That's right, President Yuan wants to recruit me as his son-in-law!"
