Chapter 92: The Evil Stepmother of the Republic of China (Twenty-Seven) Asking for a monthly ticket
After coming out of Chen's house, Ma Yong sat directly in the back seat of the car.
"Go to the Governor's Mansion!"
Ma Yong gave the order directly.
The governor was the matchmaker for this marriage.
Now that the plan has failed, Ma Yong has to go and explain everything to the commander-in-chief.
"Oh, my big brother, you have been tormenting me terribly these past few days!"
As soon as he entered the door, Ma Yong complained to his "Big Brother" with a bitter face.
The warlord didn't know about the Chen family yet, so he was a little surprised. "Who dares to mess with you?"
Although he was reluctant to admit it, the governor knew very well that Ma Dabing, the "brother" he promoted, had now become the second most important warlord in the provincial capital.
If the warlord did not have the support of foreigners, the ability to buy new weapons, and a few wealthy families as his money bags, he might not be able to maintain his position as the boss.
This kid Ma Dabing seemed inconspicuous in the past, but he grew up rapidly when the commander-in-chief was not on guard.
He is good at fighting and also good at training soldiers.
With thousands of people and only a little over a thousand guns, they were able to beat the surrounding warlords into tears.
Ma Dadan's power in some aspects has already surpassed that of the warlord! The warlord can no longer ignore Ma Dadan as he did in the past.
However, Ma Dabing is a loyal man and knows how to be grateful.
It was he who captured the provincial capital and drove away the old warlords there.
However, he did not take the opportunity to occupy the city. Instead, he stationed his troops outside the city and welcomed his big brother into the city.
It can be said that this so-called "commander-in-chief" was given up by Ma Dabao.
If he took advantage of the opportunity to take power, the process might be tragic, but the warlord would most likely be defeated.
From this point of view alone, the governor should thank Ma Dadan.
But the commander-in-chief couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart: Damn it, back then Ma Dabing was just a small soldier who led my horse!
As a result, after more than ten years, Ma Dabing has been able to stand on equal footing with himself!
...Because of these reasons, the governor had very complicated feelings towards Ma Dabing.
There is gratitude, but also anger; there is brotherhood, but also deep fear.
This time, the matchmaker for Ma Dadan was Miss Chen, who seemed glamorous on the surface but was actually full of straw!
Wait, matchmaking? The warlord thought of this and seemed to understand Ma Yong's intention.
He asked tentatively, "Dare you to say Miss Chen?"
Hearing the commander-in-chief calling him "Ma Dadan" again, a dark light flashed in Ma Yong's eyes.
A few days ago, as soon as he returned to the provincial capital, he rushed to the Governor's Mansion to report to the Governor.
After reporting on the matter of raising military funds, Ma Yong jokingly said, "Brother, I will have a name from now on."
"Hehe, the name is just 'Yong', which means the bravest of all the troops!"
Ma Yong advertised his new name almost everywhere.
Except for the commander-in-chief, everyone else also spoke up.
Even his old comrades and brothers who could joke with each other would call him "Yongzi".
Only the commander-in-chief seemed not to have listened to Ma Yong's words.
Still kept calling him "brave".
Of course, you can say that the commander-in-chief is nostalgic and regards Ma Yong as his own brother, which is why he keeps calling him by his old name.
However, Ma Yong still relied on his intuition to sense the malice from the governor.
The warlord seemed to want to remind Ma Yong by calling him by his old nickname - don't think of yourself as someone important just because people call you commander. To me, you will always be that foolish and daring person from the past!
You are the bravest among the three armies? You don't deserve it!
The governor is not like Ma Yong, he has attended military school.
It was also thanks to his military academy classmates that he had some connections with Jinling.
He was appointed as the provincial governor by Nanjing, so the title was quite legitimate.
Therefore, the governor knew the story of the Champion Marquis.
The commander-in-chief felt somewhat ashamed and annoyed that Ma Yong dared to say that he was the bravest among the three armies.
So he deliberately didn't call Ma Yong by his new name, but instead "affectionately" called him "Dadan'er".
"Isn't it her?"
Ma Yong pretended not to notice the governor's little thoughts and said casually, "Just eat steak, why do you have to order it medium rare?"
"Damn it, when we cut it open, blood gushed out. We were all soldiers, and when we were on the march, we were so hungry that we ate anything. That's why we swallowed the undercooked steak."
"And that coffee, damn coffee, it's even more bitter than the bitter medicine soup I drank. No, not only bitter, but also damn sour. I don't want to taste that taste again in my life."
"Oh, by the way, I have to learn to dance! My big brother, you know me well. I can chop people with a knife, but I can't dance. Once I get on the dance floor, I have no place to put my hands and feet!"
After saying a lot of things, Ma Yong pretended to be sad.
He bowed to the commander desperately and said pitifully, "Brother, please have pity on me."
"I really don't deserve a foreign student like Miss Chen!"
As he begged, Ma Yong seemed to be unable to hold back and cursed again, "You damned thing made me wash my feet and brush my teeth every day. When my mother was alive, she never disciplined me like this!"
"What the hell, I'm leading troops in battles, I'm exhausted every day, how can I have the time to tinker with these things?"
Commander: ...This Miss Chen is indeed a bit pretentious.
But it would be better if you could do it.
With unrest at home and a fire in the backyard, how can Ma Dabing concentrate on working hard outside?
The warlord remained calm, but was thinking about how to "persuade" Ma Yong to tolerate Miss Chen.
"You are so brave, your idea is not acceptable. As your elder brother, I have something to say to you——"
The warlord sorted out his thoughts, considered his words, and said, "Now is a new era. Jinling is promoting a new lifestyle. Eating Western food, drinking coffee, ballroom dancing, and paying attention to hygiene are all representative of a civilized and advanced new lifestyle."
"Yes, I know, you may not be used to it. But, be brave, you are no longer the soldier you used to be, you are a commander!"
"As a commander, you must learn to improve..."
The warlord spoke a lot incessantly.
He was indeed well-educated and understood the principle of exaggerating things.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
With just a few words, Miss Chen's deliberate display and worship of foreign things were turned into a new civilized and free life.
Ma Yong cursed the "old fox" inwardly, but his face still had a resisting expression of "I'm sorry but I'm not interested".
"Oh! Brother, you and I are different! You are a cultured person, you can learn these new things."
"I can't do it! Others call me 'commander' for your sake, but at heart I am still that illiterate soldier who holds your horse and stirrups."
"Brother, please forgive me! I won't participate in the New Life Movement!"
The warlord narrowed his eyes. Having known each other for more than ten years, he knew Ma Yong’s true face.
This guy is a rough-looking but careful person.
He wears the mask of a reckless warrior every day, but always wins unexpectedly.
He says that he is illiterate and doesn't understand those new things.
But whenever there is a new type of weapon, he is always the first to use it.
This guy is definitely pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger.
"How dare you! Miss Chen is a foreign student who has studied abroad. She can have connections with foreigners!"
After saying so much, seeing that Ma Yong still seemed unmoved, the commander had no choice but to use his trump card.
The governor knew very well what Ma Dabing had been thinking in the past two years.
You want to bypass him and contact foreigners on your own? Humph, dream on!
Those foreigners are the warlord’s greatest confidence.
He would never allow Ma to get involved.
“…”
Ma Yong cursed in his heart.
He was just suspicious before, but after experiencing one farce after another at the horse farm today, Ma Yong was finally sure: the old guy, the governor, did it on purpose.
He should know Miss Chen's background, which is why he used the bait of being a foreign student and knowing about Western affairs to lure him into the trap.
Fortunately, there was Ms. Gu, otherwise Ma Yong would have really been fooled.
Gu Qingcheng gave Ma Yong a very good demonstration, letting him know what it is like to truly become friends with foreigners.
It's about chatting and laughing, not being servile.
Gu Qingcheng's attitude also made Ma Yong very satisfied.
He did not show off by relying on his knowledge of foreign languages, but instead fulfilled his duty as a "translator".
In helping two people who did not speak the same language communicate, Ms. Gu did not hide anything or lie, but instead took the initiative to give him advice.
Although it was only the first contact, it gave Ma Yong hope.
Unlike Miss Chen, who likes to put on airs even though she clearly has no ability.
When something goes wrong, they put the blame on others.
If Miss Chen is really capable, Ma Yong is willing to put up with all her mischief.
But she didn't! If Ma Yong could still tolerate it, then he would not only be a slut, but also a fool! However, in front of the warlord, Ma Yong could not show his doubts about Miss Chen.
Because before things were set up, Ma Yong didn't want the governor to know about Ms. Gu's existence and her value.
"Damn it, this is really difficult!"
Ma Yong pretended to be unable to make a decision and scratched his head hard.
Finally, a look of determination flashed across his face, "Forget it! Foreigners are not easy to deal with. I am not as good as you, brother. You are someone who has been abroad."
"Anyway, since I have you, Big Brother will help me buy those new weapons, right?"
The warlord frowned slightly.
He saw that Ma Yong was obviously reluctant, but still made up his mind.
The warlord couldn't help but wonder: How capable is Miss Chen to make Ma Dadan willing to give up the opportunity to establish a relationship with the foreigners? Or is Ma Dadan acting deliberately?
But, not quite.
Because the commander-in-chief knew Ma Dabing's temperament, sometimes he would compromise, but sometimes, when he was pushed into a corner, he would do something desperate.
"Damn it, what the hell is going on in the Chen family? A concubine's daughter born to a maid is actually being spoiled to such an extent."
The warlord cursed Mr. Chen inwardly, and he was somewhat angry with this cheap relative.
