Chapter 1384 Madam Ruyu
Guo Xiaohai and his men and horses flew high and flew away like eagles, without a trace, and soon disappeared. Chen Bao, a giant bandit, was in a different place in the mountain, and the Qinglong bandits' troubles disappeared.
Guo Xiaohai returned to Xinmin Mansion and was silent for a while. Everything was calm. There was no movement on both sides of Japan and the Maoist Kingdom, as if nothing had happened. A few days later, Xinmin Mansion and Fengtian General Zeng Qi wrote a letter to the court to ask the court for the commander of the Xinmin Mansion Guo Xiaohai and others. A few days later, the court ordered Guo Xiaohai to be promoted to two levels and serve as the commander of the Fengtian Patrol Camp (equivalent to being promoted from the original regiment commander to the brigade commander), and became one of the real power figures in the military and political circles of Fengtian. His subordinates, Hu Yuanjia and others, were all promoted to one level and were rewarded. Guo Xiaohai's subordinates also expanded from the original fifth battalion to the seventh battalion, and their strength increased greatly.
Fengtian Provincial Capital, Governor's Office.
Guo Xiaohai, dressed in military uniform, turned over and dismounted at the door. Liu San and his servants were led by their servants to have a tea and rest. Guo Xiaohai followed Butler Hu and walked forward, passing through the pavilions and towers, and heading straight to the backyard.
Soon, Butler Hu took Guo Xiaohai to a Liang Pavilion and stopped. "Master, the lady is inside, just go in, so I don't need to report it."
"Thank you, Butler Hu." Guo Xiaohai said, "I have a little bit of a word, please don't dislike the old butler." As he said that, he stuffed a small golden leaf into Butler Hu's hand.
When Butler Hu saw it, he smiled and said, "Thank you, thank you, thank you, sir!" He went down happily.
Guo Xiaohai tidied up his collar and stepped up the steps of Liangge.
"Come in." A nice woman said in her voice.
Guo Xiaohai pushed the door open and entered. There were only two people in the room. The one sitting in the middle was the beautiful and noble lady, and a maid behind her, but not Haruko.
Guo Xiaohai couldn't help but be slightly stunned, but he hurriedly said, "I've seen my wife."
It was summer now. Although it was windy in Liangge, it was still very hot. The lady was wearing a thin silk shirt with a water-green silk bun, and the maid was slapping beads next to her, but fine beads of sweat still oozing from the tip of her forehead and nose. However, this made her look even more charming. Guo Xiaohai couldn't help but tighten her throat, and she felt her whole body sticky, and she felt an indescribable restlessness.
The lady seemed to see his embarrassment and took action. The maid brought a bowl of soup from a static porcelain jar next to her.
"This is iced black plum juice, which can quench thirst. Commander Guo should drink a bowl to remove the heat," said the lady, "This is what I made by myself. I learned the skills I learned when I was at my mother's house, and I haven't forgotten..." As she said that, the lady smiled, with a bit of homey atmosphere.
"Thank you, Madam," Guo Xiaohai took it and took a sip. It was indeed sour and sweet, cold and refreshing, so he drank it all in one go. The maid took it and served another bowl. He drank three bowls in a row before giving up.
The lady kept looking at her with a smile, and then said, "From your expression just now, she didn't tell you about Qing'er?"
"What's wrong with her...?" Guo Xiaohai was shocked.
"Oh..." The lady sighed, "You may also know that the general will return to the pass soon. The world is not peaceful, and internal and external troubles are difficult to do..."
Guo Xiaohai didn't say anything. General Fengtian Zeng Qi was soon transferred to the inner palace. As for the reason, he couldn't blame him. The outer palace has always been highly valued by the Qing Dynasty's Municipal Party Committee. Zeng Qi was obviously not an ordinary person to be sent to guard this place. However, as the wife said, the world is really too difficult, not to mention it inside. Outside, the Maoist soldiers and the Japanese were both eyeing the three eastern provinces. The Qing court was weak and did not dare to provoke the two great powers. Even the two great powers were launched, and the battlefield was actually in the northeast, and the Qing court remained neutral in life!
Under such circumstances, Zeng Qi was in a dilemma, so she was impeached by the court for land acquisition and was transferred back this time.
"...We are going back. Qing'er said that there is news about her father and is still outside the gates, so she wants to find her father..."
Guo Xiaohai almost shouted "She is lying". Haruko has no father outside the gate, but where is she going, and why is she leaving?
A series of questions made Guo Xiaohai feel complicated and irritable.
The lady sighed and said, "
I thought you should know, you two..."
"We are nothing, we are just cousins." Guo Xiaohai said with a face. The lady glanced at him and didn't say anything.
Guo Xiaohai also felt that his tone was a little abrupt, and he calmed down and said, "Madam, today's function is cultivated by the wife and the general. He is unforgettable. He was transferred to the provincial capital this time, but he did not expect..."
"Nothing," said the lady. She knew that Guo Xiaohai's purpose of coming this time was to thank him. She waved her hand. "Everything is the result of your own efforts. The general also told me that it was Xu Shichang who came to take over as the governor of the three provinces. There was a suitable opportunity. The general would also tell him about your situation..."
"Thank you, Madam, General!"
"But, the same thing, everything depends on yourself. The more you are in this world, the more you have to rely on your own abilities and make great efforts to have the possibility of making a name for yourself. At most, others can only create opportunities for you..."
Guo Xiaohai nodded repeatedly. No matter what, this beautiful and powerful wife was still very good to him. She transformed from a beard from a low-key insurance team with a low status into a court officer and soldier, and was gradually promoted to a supervisor, stationed in Xinmin Mansion, and now she was promoted to the commander of the Fengtian Patrol Battalion. In this, the wife played a key role in almost every link.
Now Zeng Qi is going to be transferred away, and his backing is gone, but Guo Xiaohai is not too panicked. First, he still has the governor of Xinminfu Zhang Xicheng to rely on. This time, Zhang Xinmin has also been promoted to governor of Fengtianfu because of his outstanding political achievements and his contribution to suppressing bandits. Another thing is that Guo Xiaohai himself has already had the seventh battalion of troops and strong soldiers. In this world, having such a gun power in his hand is his greatest capital!
After talking about the serious matters, he said a few more gossips. In the words of the lady, she mentioned Haruko a few more words intentionally or unintentionally, as if she felt a little regretful that she and Guo Xiaohai were not together. However, Guo Xiaohai was full of his mind and what happened to Haruko? Will you have the chance to return to the original world in the future? There was no follow-up.
Although a lonely man and a widow are present, it is not suitable to stay for a long time, especially on such summer nights, they don’t wear much and the weather is very ambiguous. Guo Xiaohai stood up and said goodbye. Before leaving, he took out a small brocade box, which was a cicada pendant with white jade as warm as milk.
"People raise jade, jade raises people, this little thing is for the wife to play with." Guo Xiaohai said with both hands. When the wife saw it, she immediately loved it. She actually took it directly and hung it on her neck, picked it up, and rubbed it carefully to enjoy it. The warm white mutton fat and the warm and fair skin complement each other, and the beauty is as beautiful as jade, which is very pleasing to the eye.
"I'm so mean. How do you know that I like mutton fat jade?" said the lady, and looked at Guo Xiaohai with a smile, with a wave of eyes as water, "Well, I will carry it with you..."
Guo Xiaohai couldn't help but feel that the last sentence of his wife seemed to have some other meanings.
"Okay, that's it," said the lady, "The general will probably go to the Beijing Military Affairs Office when he goes back. If you have the chance, I hope you can go there often and see me..."
"Sure!" Guo Xiaohai glanced at his wife, but was looking at her and looking at her. His heart couldn't help but "splied" and he quickly lowered his eyes.
Not long after, General Fengtian Zeng Qi stepped down and left the three northeastern provinces with his wife. The Qing court also issued an edict to implement the official system of the three northeastern provinces. General Fengtian was no longer set up and was changed to the Governor of the three northeastern provinces.
