Beijing·Qianmen Street.

Newsboy runs away.

"Extraordinary! Extraordinary! Consul Jin Fengju in Fusang lodged solemn representations!"

"Extraordinary! Extraordinary! The governors-general of all provinces jointly sent a telegram to the outside world, and we will never compromise!"

"Extraordinary! Extraordinary! The great powers have condemned Fuso for interfering in China's internal affairs with the threat of force!"

"Extraordinary! Extraordinary! Foreign Affairs Minister Lu Zixin sternly rejected Fusang's unreasonable request!"

"Extra! Extra! General Zhang Zizhi led the Fifth Division into Tianjin Port, and the war is about to break out!"

"Extra! Extra! Fuso is afraid of our military might, and the combined fleet has all retreated!"

On the streets, in the alleys, and in teahouses all over the capital, what people are discussing is the changes in the current situation.

The turmoil was finally settled with a complete victory, otherwise all the princes would be considered heroes now.

Let’s just talk about people like Duan Huhu, Feng Zhonggu, and Cao Sanfool. They are all tough and resounding in terms of their courage and structure.

Duan Laohu and Cao San were fools, but when Fusang came later, they thought to themselves that these two people were so uncooperative that if one could not be won over, the other would surely be won over, but in the end no one paid any attention to them.

Feng Zhongquan was even more forceful. When Fusang mentioned the twenty-one points, Feng Zhongquan directly led the nineteen governors to send a telegram: Anyone who intends to destroy the integrity of the Chinese state will be rejected with deadly force. Although the Chinese state is weak,

However, the citizens will rise up and die for their country.

They all have shortcomings, Cao San is a fool and can't stand up to the stage, Feng Zhongquan is greedy for money, and Duan Laohu likes to appoint private individuals, but in the end they are all characters.

But it didn't work anymore later on, especially after Zhang Huzi, Wu Xiucai and others also quit the stage, the warlord melee was really like scum fighting scum.

Although many major events have happened in the country, Jin Yanxi is not interested in them because after the joint announcement yesterday, he played with Duan Hongye all day long and did not go home until midnight. Finally, he went to Zhen'er's room to sober up.

As for what I did in the second half of the night, no one knows.

The criminal investigation ability of this non-patrol policeman came into play. He was destroying the corpse and extinguishing all traces, and all he had to do was burn the suit.

When Jin Yanxi returned home, Bai Xiuzhu said nothing, but directed her servants more diligently than usual to help Jin Yanxi change clothes, pour tea, and finally sat next to Jin Yanxi and stared at the man.

Jin Yanxi apologized: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have told you nothing. It's useless to just let you worry for nothing. This time I underestimated Fusang's ambition."

Bai Xiuzhu said with tears: "I called my brother yesterday, and he actually said that you might be used as a scapegoat. Fortunately, my father called and said that you were fine. Mr. Duan took all the responsibilities for you."

Jin Yanxi really underestimated Fuso's ambition this time, and also underestimated the crazy land speculation by the great powers. The speculation was so fierce this time, and the total amount was conservatively estimated to exceed 10 million. You must know that the total amount of the rubber craze was only 60 million.

.

Such an uproar was unexpected by Jin Yanxi. Although the incident was caused by the great powers and the outcome could be determined from the beginning, Jin Yanxi was still worried about it.

Fortunately, there was no danger, but Jin Yanxi also gained a deep understanding of himself. In his previous life, he was just an ordinary citizen. Even with the blessing of identity, he still couldn't play political games, especially the politicians of this weak country.

Dancing on the edge of a knife, Jin Yanxi admits that she does not have the mental quality and will have a heart attack if she continues to play.

Jin Yanxi promised: "Don't worry, I will never get involved in such violent storms again."

Bai Xiuzhu said gratefully: "This time we must thank Mr. Duan."

Jin Yanxi apologized: "So I played with him all night yesterday. I'm sorry. I promised you that I wouldn't stay up all night."

Bai Xiuzhu understood: "Yes, I didn't expect Mr. Duan to be so generous. We should give him another gift to thank him. What do you think he likes?"

Jin Yanxi joked: "I took a picture of a pair of twins at Baihua Tower yesterday and gave them to him. If you are interested in giving them gifts, please report the debt to me."

Bai Xiuzhu was furious and said: "You want me to spend money when you buy a woman, don't even think about it."

Just when Bai Xiuzhu was helpless about Jin Yanxi's shamelessness, Huaihua came in to report that it was revealed that Liu Shouhua left Fusang's concubine in the capital, so Jin Yanxi and his wife decided to go and have a look.

……

Beijing·Jin Mansion·Shangfang.

When Jin Yanxi and his wife entered the door, the drama had already begun. Black Panther was interrogating Jin Daozhi in the third hall, but Liu Shouhua was not at home at all. It seemed that this guy had hidden.

Jin Quan said loudly: "The woman Shouhua outside said she was sent back to Fusang, but she was actually lying to us. He didn't do anything decent outside, he only did such good things."

The golden mother said in disbelief: "Is such a thing really possible? Why don't I know who you heard this from?"

Jin Quan scolded: "He always brought that Fusang woman with him to all the big and small banquets he attended during the Chinese New Year. Especially during this sensitive period, he should be lucky that it didn't appear in the newspapers."

The Golden Mother scolded: "Taozhi, that Fusang girl is still living in the hotel. Why didn't you tell us? I think your tolerance is many times better than mine."

/p>

Jin Daozhi explained: "I wanted to explain it earlier, but Shouhua said that he had done something wrong and asked me to hide it for him. When the time is right, he would take the initiative to confess to the two elders."

Jin Quan scolded: "I have said before that I am most opposed to the Fusang people. How could you agree to take a Fusang girl from Shouhuahua as your concubine?"

Jin Yanxi defended: "Actually, I have asked Director Wu to use the detective department to investigate the Fuso servant girl in detail. Her background is very clean and she is not a Fuso spy."

Jin Quan said angrily: "You also know that even Wu Jingtan knows that I was the only one who was kept in the dark about the co-authorship."

The golden mother said doubtfully: "I heard that Fusang is a monogamous couple. This is strange. Marrying in your own country requires no equality, but marrying abroad can be a concubine."

Jin Quan explained: "What's wrong with this? You are restricted by the laws of your own country. There is no way. If you marry a foreign country and fly away, you are not restricted by the laws of your own country."

Jin Daozhi said coquettishly: "Dad, I won't mention this matter anymore. Can you just stop talking about it?"

Golden Mother came to the rescue and said: "She has already acquiesced, so don't be angry anymore."

Jin Yanxi pleaded: "That's right, Dad. I originally wanted to beat him up to vent my anger on him, but the fourth sister couldn't bear it, so let's forget it."

Bai Xiuzhu pleaded: "Dad, please don't embarrass the fourth sister."

Jin Quan said helplessly: "You..."

Jin Daozhi pleaded: "Dad..."

Jin Quan sighed: "Alas..."

……

Capital·Jin Mansion·Seven Bedrooms.

That night when Liu Shouhua came home, he bowed down and thanked her repeatedly. His attitude should be as humble as that of Jin Yanxi after she took over her home.

I also invited Jin Daozhi to have a candlelight dinner, and of course I finally coaxed Jin Daozhi into a good mood.

The next day, Jin Daozhi took Tian Chuan Yingzi to his home. Yes, he gave Liu Shou a concubine at the Jin family. You say the Jin family is conservative. The Jin family can hold a concubine ceremony for their son-in-law. You say Jin family

The family is open-minded, the Jin family takes concubines according to ancient rituals.

So this era is very contradictory and complicated. For example, if there is equality, kneeling should be cancelled. But no, in this era, after bowing to the elders, you have to kowtow.

On the surface, etiquette has indeed improved, but the existence of these old etiquette is deep-rooted. When a junior sees an elder, a junior should kowtow to a junior, and when an ordinary person sees an equal, he should kowtow.

For example, after Duan Laohu went out to the countryside, his brother-in-law had to kowtow when he came to visit him. Then Duan Laohu, probably because he was old, did not kneel down and instead bent his knees to touch the ground. As a result, Mrs. Duan, Zhang Peiheng, was very unhappy.

I was happy, but I felt it was very rude, so I forced my husband to kowtow again.

So now the four rituals for wives and concubines are unavoidable. Tagawa Sakurako respectfully kowtowed four times to Jin Daozhi in public, held out the life-saving money, and finally accepted a sip of tea from Jin Daozhi.

Fortunately, Jin Daozhi is a kind person. After the ceremony, he directly helped Sakurako Tagawa. In fact, she can also set rules, which is to announce a series of torture methods, such as not allowing people to enter the ancestral graves, not allowing children to have children, and not allowing children to have children.

You can’t show your face during the holidays or anything like that.

Of course, Jin Daozhi is not that vicious, and he even brought Tagawa Yingzi to meet everyone in the Jin family. Of course, few of them looked at her well. Only Jin Meili was more enthusiastic, and she was dragged away by Jin Runzhi. In the end, she was kind to her.

The agreeable Bai Xiuzhu took them to Xiao Lian's room to relieve the embarrassment, which allowed the two wives and concubines to have a good chat because Bai Xiuzhu could speak Fusang dialect.

Tagawa Sakurako bent down and bowed: "Seventh Young Mistress, please take good care of me."

Bai Xiuzhu ordered: "Get up quickly, how dare you do this, Mother Li, bring some tea and snacks."

Jin Daozhi introduced: "Her family conditions are not good and she has never gone to school. Now that she has come to China, she is quite accustomed to living and eating. She is very sensible and has a good relationship with Shouhua."

Bai Xiuzhu said in Fusang dialect: "You can speak Fusang dialect and I can understand it. Qifang is quite different. You can come to me at any time."

Jin Daozhi agreed: "In the future, you can visit the Seventh Young Madam often."

Tagawa Sakurako nodded and said: "Hai."

Bai Xiuzhu took the tea and said: "You're welcome, come, please use it."

Tagawa Sakurako took the tea cup and said: "Seventh Young Madam is very kind, and she is also very kind to this Aunt Lian."

Wu Xiaolian introduced herself: "Aunt Tagawa, I have been an orphan since I was a child. I was changed hands by traffickers several times since I was a child. Fortunately, I met our eldest mistress. She taught me how to read and write, how to embroider women's clothes, and how to behave and etiquette. She also betrothed me to

The seventh young master and the seventh young mistress are also very kind to me. Now I just want to serve the seventh young master and the seventh young mistress wholeheartedly."

The two pairs of wives chatted for a long time until Jin Yanxi came home from get off work. However, Jin Yanxi had nothing serious to do and went home early.

When the male owner of the seventh room came home, Tagawa Sakura looked a little flustered. She suppressed her shyness and stood up to give her a blessing.

Tagawa Yingzi bowed and said: "Seventh Young Master, you are back and you came to the door to make trouble, please forgive me."

Jin Yanxi nodded and said, "You must be Aunt Tagawa. If you have anything to do from now on, just talk. I have some official business. Xiuzhu, Xiaolian, please stay with me. We will set up a banquet table in the evening for the fourth sister to share."<

/p>

Jin Yanxi's words were polite, and Jin Daozhi naturally didn't take them seriously. In fact, it was certainly inconvenient for men to meet female guests in this era, so after Jin Yanxi finished speaking, he walked around the central hall and went to the study at the back. No one could be seen, <

/p>

Jin Daozhi said goodbye: "It's late today. Sister Xiuzhu, come to my place to talk and do acupuncture when you have time. Yanxi and his fourth brother-in-law won't get off work until very late."

When they saw the guests off, the two wives and concubines had already become handkerchiefs, because Bai Xiuzhu understood Fusang dialect and did not need Jin Daozhi as a translator. There were many common topics between the aunts. Of course, the premise was that each wanted to please the other and the female family members
