Young Master Yi may forget other things in the blink of an eye, but when it comes to romance and beauty, he remembers them more clearly than anything else.
I heard that a foreigner opened a movie theater in the city, which attracted many young ladies and gentlemen to watch it.
There's a movie playing in theaters these past two days.
It tells the love story between a military nurse and an officer on the battlefield. The female lead is a rising star who is said to be very attractive.
Yi Mu sent someone to buy two tickets and specially invited Miss Liu from the Chamber of Commerce president's family to watch the show together.
Ms. Liu, who had just returned from abroad, exuded a sophisticated and fashionable aura, and couldn't help but utter an English word or two while speaking.
Seeing others' puzzled expressions, she would cover her mouth and giggle like a hen.
Yi Mu really didn't want to tell her that if she wanted to learn how foreigners behaved, she should first stop laughing so openly in public, which would draw attention.
The picture quality of old movies from the Republican era is incomparable to that of modern cinemas, the dubbing is exaggerated and crude, and there are no special effects.
Yi Mu watched with little interest, and was almost asleep in his chair.
Ms. Liu, standing to the side, was crying her eyes out. She even forgot to eat the popcorn she had bought, stuffing it all into Yi Mu's arms and wiping her tears with a tissue.
Yi Mu's gaze fell on the row in front.
Zeng Guangzhao finally changed out of his military uniform today, put on a three-piece suit, and combed his hair into a slicked-back style.
Standing next to Miss Gu, who was wearing a modern blazer and deerskin boots, they were a perfect match.
Actually, what my second sister said about Miss Gu's childhood experiences that day was not complete.
Yi Mu knew a little more than she did.
When Miss Gu was young, she went on a field trip with her classmates and teachers, but they encountered a gang of bandits who were returning from robbing and looting.
The ruthless bandits, seeing the beautiful and charming female students and teachers, were overcome with lust and kidnapped them all.
Before Zeng Guangzhao became a division commander, he was the youngest sworn brother of the leader of that bandit gang.
He was about the same age as Gu Lanjun and couldn't bear to see her defiled, so he secretly released her under the cover of night.
After Gu Lanjun was released and returned home, Commander Gu returned from the battlefield.
Upon hearing that his daughter had been kidnapped by a group of audacious bandits, Commander Gu was furious. He personally led a battalion of men and fought for two days and one night, eventually destroying the bandits' hideout.
The bandit stronghold had nearly a thousand people, mostly emaciated old people, women, children, and the young and strong who died in the fighting between the two sides.
Of the remaining children, only a dozen or so were half-grown and survived.
Before the commander came out, his daughter repeatedly told him that there was a man named Zeng Huan who must not be killed.
Zeng Huan was taken away and became the commander's adjutant.
The commander originally only took this little kid with him out of respect for his daughter, but he never expected that Zeng Huan was not a good-for-nothing at all.
He not only saved his life twice while fighting alongside the army, but he was also a genius strategist.
If it weren't for his unintentional remark, in that battle with his arch-enemy, Commander Gu's 100,000 troops would have been completely wiped out on the battlefield, suffering a total loss.
It's a waste of Zeng Huan's talents to make him a mere adjutant.
Let's put him in charge of a small company commander position, with about a hundred men, and see how he manages them.
How could a seasoned soldier accept being overtaken by a little kid?
During the period when Zeng Huan was the company commander, one trouble after another plagued the company.
Either the military pay sent from below was several hundred dollars less, or someone was secretly taking weapons to sell.
Zeng Huan's ability to become sworn brothers with the bandit leader in the bandit's den is enough to show that he was not a pushover.
Within two months, the previously chaotic company settled down.
When they saw their company commander, they were like mice seeing a cat, each one with their tail between their legs, their faces fawning, not daring to speak loudly.
That being said, Zeng Huan's rise through the ranks, from a small company commander to a division commander before the age of thirty, truly made him no ordinary person.
