Ma Yong's adjutant's surname is Dong, who is younger than Ma Yong and has followed him for more than ten years.

After all, Adjutant Dong is a distant relative of Ma Yong's hometown.

Both publicly and privately, Adjutant Dong hopes that Ma Yong can live a better life.

"Commander, this is a good marriage."

The daughter of a textile manufacturer has studied abroad, can speak foreign languages, and has some connections with foreigners.

And these soldiers just covet those foreign gentlemen.

In addition to being more powerful, they can also buy weapons and medicines from foreigners.

The governor was able to arrange such a marriage for his own commander, it was definitely for the good of his own commander.

It is worth it that our commander is loyal to the governor.

"A good marriage? Haha, not necessarily!"

Ma Yong was not as optimistic as Adjutant Dong.

He is indeed uneducated, but he knows himself well.

He is thirty-six years old this year, tall, dark-skinned, and a big, rough man.

He is at best decent-looking, but he cannot read.

My family has been peasants for generations.

Apart from being able to fight and having a thousand guns in his hands, he has no other strengths.

She is a young lady from a wealthy family and a foreign student who has studied abroad. She is in good shape and should be good-looking. Why would she marry him?

I’m just afraid that this young lady has some shortcomings.

Even if she had no shortcomings, he would still look down on her if she reluctantly married him.

Rather than marrying such a girl or little ancestor to worship, he would rather not have her!

For some reason, a red and swollen pig-headed face flashed in Ma Yong's mind.

By the way, Ma Yong feels that Ms. Gu is more suitable for him.

They are all remarriages and neither of them comes from a wealthy family.

But he is smart and can read and write, and the key is that he won't look down on me.

As a warrior leading troops in battle, Ma Yong has an intuition as precise as that of a wild beast.

He can feel whether others are kind or malicious towards him, whether they are pretending to be nice or treating him sincerely.

That Gu had the air of a scholar, but he did not have the false righteousness and pretense of a pedantic scholar.

...Ma Yong couldn't describe it, he just felt that Gu was the truly noble scholar!

"Commander, you are right!"

After hearing what Ma Yong said, Adjutant Dong pondered for a moment.

He glanced at Ma Yong's expression and said cautiously, "To be honest with you, Commander, after receiving the telegram from the Governor-General, I secretly called a few brothers in the provincial capital to inquire about it."

Ma Yong raised his eyebrows.

Seeing Adjutant Dong's hesitation, he had reason to suspect that there was indeed something wrong with the lady introduced to him by the governor.

"Fuck you, if you have to fart, just fart. Why are you still keeping it a secret in front of me?"

Ma Yong was the most relaxed in front of him, and he cursed a few times as soon as he opened his mouth.

Hearing Ma Yong scolding him, Adjutant Dong became even more relaxed.

He knew his commander too well.

The commander scolded him, which meant he treated him as one of his own.

He would be even happier if the commander kicked him, because the commander treated him as a brother.

"Hehe, nothing can be hidden from the commander."

Adjutant Dong chuckled a few times, then leaned close to Ma Yong's ear and whispered, "Brothers in the provincial capital said that the young lady of the Chen family is the maidservant of the lady."

Ma Yong understood, oh, it turns out she is a concubine's daughter.

Judging from his age, this child was born during the Qing Dynasty.

The status of concubines and concubines was not high.

"The Madam also has a daughter. The legitimate daughter who went to study in the British Empire was also the legitimate daughter."

"The madam was worried, so she asked Miss Chen to go with her."

Adjutant Dong put it more tactfully.

Ma Yong understood.

Haha, what foreign students studying abroad.

In fact, she is just a girl who accompanies the young lady to study.

Saying this to the outside world now is just to elevate the status of Miss Chen.

Ma Yong estimated that given the Chen family's behavior, Miss Chen would not be able to study seriously even if she went to the British Empire.

In ancient times, this was a reading companion.

Serving others is the main thing, and learning is secondary.

Smart people may take the opportunity to learn more.

But the dumber ones may have only traveled abroad and may not even know which direction the gate of a foreign school faces.

"That Miss Chen knows some foreign languages. Her legitimate sister married a junior military governor and received half of a textile factory as her dowry."

"The Governor is very satisfied with the Chen family. I just happened to hear that there is such a sister in the family. She looks quite good and is of the right age, so I want to introduce her to you."

Adjutant Dong continued to mutter.

Ma Yong frowned slightly when he heard this.

Does it look decent?

Tsk tsk, my mother is a concubine who serves men for her beauty, but my daughter is plain-looking.

And at this age—

Yes, she is the elder sister. She was chosen by the lady of the family to accompany the legitimate daughter to study abroad, so she should be older.

After all, he is too young and can’t even take care of himself, so how can he serve others?

The young governor is twenty years old this year, and his wife should be of the same age.

From this, we can infer that Miss Chen, who accompanied the child to study, must be at least in her twenties.

At this age, in this era, she is definitely an older leftover woman.

No wonder the Chen family was willing to marry her to a rough guy like me.

"...After all, it was the Governor's good intention."

Ma Yong has weighed this matter several times in his mind.

He decided to go and take a look first.

Not to mention anything else, just the fact that she had studied abroad and could speak foreign languages ​​was enough to make Ma Yong excited.

As Ma Yong became the commander, he also formed his own team.
