Chapter 79: The Evil Stepmother of the Republic of China (XIV) Asking for monthly tickets
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 received foreign education, can speak foreign languages, and has some friendship 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 well 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 burly man.
He is at best decent-looking, but he cannot read.
My family has been peasants for many generations.
Apart from being able to fight and having a thousand guns in his hands, he has no other strengths.
She is a lady from a wealthy family and a foreign student who has studied abroad. She is in her prime and should be good looking. Why would she marry him?
I am afraid that there is something wrong with this young lady.
Even if she had no shortcomings, he would still look down on her if she married him reluctantly.
Rather than marrying such a lady or a little ancestor to worship, he would rather not have it!
For some reason, a red and swollen pig-like face flashed in Ma Yong's mind.
Speaking of which, Ma Yong feels that Ms. Gu is more suitable for him.
They are all second marriages and neither of them comes from wealthy families.
But he is smart, 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 the precise intuition 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 nobleness 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 listening to Ma Yong's words, 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, 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, just fart if you want to. Why are you still keeping it a secret in front of me?"
Ma Yong was the most relaxed in front of him and started cursing with a few catchphrases.
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 his own family member.
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 licked his face and laughed a few times, then leaned close to Ma Yong's ear and said in a low voice, "Brothers in the provincial capital said that the young lady of the Chen family, her biological mother is the maid next to 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."
"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 maid who accompanies the young lady to study.
Saying this to the public now is just to elevate the status of Miss Chen.
Ma Yong estimated that given the way the Chen family behaved, Miss Chen would not be able to study seriously in 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 this 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 pretty and is of suitable age. I want to introduce her to you."
Adjutant Dong continued to mutter.
Ma Yong frowned slightly when he heard this.
Does she look decent? Tsk tsk, her mother is a concubine who serves men with her beauty, but her daughter is plain-looking.
And 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 commander-in-chief is twenty years old this year, and his wife should be of the same age.
From this calculation, the Miss Chen who accompanied her child to study must be at least in her twenties.
At this age, she is definitely an old leftover woman.
No wonder the Chen family was willing to marry her to a rough guy like me.
"…After all, it was the warlord'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.
It is easy to recruit soldiers and raise military pay, but the issue of weapons is troublesome.
This time he made a lot of money in this small county, enough for him to buy a few hundred more guns.
Unfortunately, he didn't know any foreigners, so he could only buy it through the warlord.
On the surface, he called the governor "Brother" every day, and the governor was also kind to him.
The two looked like real brothers.
But in fact, the governor has always been a person who believes that "personal relationships are human relationships, and business is business."
You can buy weapons through the Overseer, but you must give the Overseer benefits.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
After taking all the commissions, Ma Yong would lose at least 20% to 30%.
Even so, Ma Yong still remembered the favor from the governor.
If they are not "brothers", they may not be willing to help you even if you give them benefits.
Nowadays, whoever holds a gun is the boss.
And the one who can get weapons is the boss.
Ma Yong also wanted to be a boss, and he dreamed of having good relations with those foreigners.
It's a pity that he couldn't even explain the story of growing flowers, let alone the chirping of birds.
If you have a good wife who is fluent in foreign languages——
Ma Yong was moved.
However, Ma Yong still retains his rationality and will not be easily carried away.
"Take a look! When we get back to the provincial capital, take a closer look!"
Ma Yong scratched his head and said this to himself.
…
The next day, at eight o'clock in the morning.
Gu Qingcheng dragged her luggage and took her fat son to the county train station early.
The train station is not big and the buildings are simple, just a row of small bungalows.
There were several rows of wooden chairs in the hall, and some passengers in robes or dresses were sitting on the chairs waiting for departure.
Gu Qingcheng observed carefully and found that most of the passengers were men.
Whether she wore a long gown or a Western dress, her braids were cut off.
There were a few women among the group of male travelers.
These women do not look as confident as the men.
They were hunched over and looked timid.
Like an accessory, she followed the man obediently.
Of course, there were also a few foreign students wearing blue clothes and black skirts.
They appear much more confident.
Some had their hair cut short to the ears, while others had two braids.
Fresh clothes and snow-white long socks.
Some wore black cloth shoes, while others wore shiny new leather shoes.
Gu Qingcheng has been in this world for a few days. She is busy reading and reading newspapers every day. When she goes to church to study, she also deliberately observes her surroundings.
Therefore, she already had a preliminary understanding of this new world.
I am no longer surprised by anything I see that is different from what I know.
She gradually accepted it and began to understand and enjoy it from her own perspective.
"Although there are still restrictions on women in this era, there has been a lot of progress."
Gu Qingcheng chatted with Huoshui using her consciousness.
"That's right. In the Republic of China, not only is the public's consciousness awakening, but women are also breaking free from their shackles step by step, awakening themselves, and liberating themselves."
"Have you heard of the Jianhu Heroine? She was the first female to awaken."
"She was also a daughter of an official family, but she dared to step out and eventually gave her life for her beliefs."
Huoshui, an artificial intelligence, has a wealth of knowledge stored in its CPU.
Perhaps it was because Gu Qingcheng had entered an era of an imaginary Republic of China, and disasters would not be as cautious as in those ancient worlds.
He was afraid that he would say something wrong and let the clever Gu Qingcheng peek into the secret beyond time and space.
Now, it is much more calm.
Because of the system's restrictions, even if Gu Qingcheng had lived in the Republic of China, she could only extract one skill belonging to this era.
Others, even if she has personally experienced the world of her novels and studied them carefully, will be forcibly "diluted" by the system.
She only remembered that she had been to a very mysterious world, but she couldn't remember what the world looked like.
This is a protection for the real world that Gu Qingcheng came from.
We can't be too permissive, otherwise, with Gu Qingcheng's intelligence and ambition, she will come up with too many advanced things.
By then it won’t be a butterfly effect anymore, but a fucking tsunami of the century.
If one thing goes wrong, the good time and space will be ruined! The system will never allow such a situation to happen.
Therefore, they could only impose many restrictions on Gu Qingcheng.
With the restrictions of the main system, Huoshui felt relieved and could let go to discuss some things of this era with Gu Qingcheng.
"The Lady of Jianhu?"
Gu Qingcheng vaguely saw it in the newspaper.
However, the newspaper did not report much, and Gu Qingcheng only remembered this name.
Through the popular science of Huoshui, Gu Qingcheng learned about this man's deeds in detail.
It turns out that women can not only go out, but also build their own careers like men.
Gu Qingcheng is not a dodder who only relies on men.
But in the era she lived in, women were subordinate to men.
If Gu Qingcheng wants to realize her ambitions, she can only do so through men.
Now, the times have changed, and Gu Qingcheng's heart has also moved...
