1928: The rise of giant merchants

Chapter 288 Family affairs, state affairs, and world affairs

January 8, the 18th year of the Republic of China (1929).

As expected, several major warlords, including Feng Yuxiang, Yan Xishan, and Li Zongren, cursed and almost fought in the Great Hall of the People over plan issues.

The principal who was watching the fight pretended to persuade them to make peace, but in fact he was so happy that he wished that several people would pull out guns and shoot at each other on the spot, leaving him alone to clean up the mess.

Feng Yuxiang disagreed with the principal's initial plan and insisted on using the one that was most beneficial to him. Naturally, Yan Xishan refused to agree, and would rather harm others than himself and argue with him to the end.

Li Zongren was very sinister. He thought carefully and did not want to see an alliance between Feng and Jiang, so he helped Yan Xishan speak.

In this way, the principal's clever killing of two men with one peach not only favored the troop reduction plan in his favor, but also alienated the relationship between Yan Xishan and Feng Yuxiang.

By this day of the meeting, the senior management knew that many things could not be improved.

That afternoon, several warlords left Jinling full of resentment.

Before leaving, Li Zongren specifically went to find Feng Yuxiang and had many secret talks with him. The implication was that the principal wanted to be dictatorial and he could not be allowed to succeed.

No matter which troop reduction plan is adopted this time, they will refuse to comply. If the principal uses force to force them, then the two of them will join forces and fight the principal to the death!

Then Li Zongren hurried back to Wucheng and asked Bai Chongxi to transfer all the troops stationed near Peking back and put them all on standby to prepare for the war.

The principal paid close attention to the movements of several major warlords, and soon realized that the Gui army was abnormal, and immediately dispatched large armies to garrison at the border of Hucheng and Anhui Province.

The starting point of the Central Plains War, the battle between Jiang and Gui is imminent.

Now the only one who can be as stable as a mountain is Zhang Hanqing.

He had just led the northern tycoons to join the National Government, and was in the honeymoon period with the principal. There were still Japanese invaders watching, and the temporary reduction of troops would not affect him.

Hula——

There was a loud roar of an engine.

The principal looked out of the office window.

Several planes flew over the city.

"Wow, it's a plane~" Bai Xiuzhu took little Aqiao's hand and walked towards the courtyard, "Sister Shu, look, look. Oh, what is this?"

These planes flying over various places on the beach kept throwing things on the ground.

Thousands of small parachutes fluttered in the wind like dandelion seeds, falling slowly.

"It's a flyer." Little Aqiao's right hand, which had been protecting her bulging belly, opened up and caught a small parachute, with a thin piece of printing paper hanging under the umbrella.

Opening the slightly rough printing paper, the big characters "Yip's Film Company" first came into view.

"Yip's Film Company's latest talkie film "Sisters" will be released in major theaters on January 15, starring Hu Die and Ruan Lingyu"

Bai Xiuzhu read the words above, gently rubbed the poster next to the words with her slender fingers, and couldn't help laughing.

"It turns out that Brother Luo has been running to British military bases recently to do this."

"He always has a lot of unexpected ideas in his head. This painting should be by Zheng Mantuo, and it's hard for him to draw on such a small printing paper."

Little Aqiao is almost four months pregnant, and her belly is beginning to show. Ye Yuqiao and Li Shuzhen pay special attention to the first third generation of the Ye family, and they want her to move back to the Ye Mansion (after Ye Luo and Bai Xiuzhu got married). , she moved out of Ye Mansion on her own), and hired a dozen experienced maids to hold her up like a treasure.

To this day, everyone in the Ye family knows more or less about Ye Luo's affairs. If it were anyone else, even Ye Hao would be scolded by Li Shuzhen.

But Ye Luo is different.

He is the only pillar of the Ye family now.

In the hearts of the two elders, anyone in the Ye family can die, but not Ye Luo.

For this reason, Li Shuzhen went to talk to Bai Xiuzhu several times at night, hoping that the eldest lady from the Bai family could be considerate of Ye Luo and understand the Ye family's situation.

After all, Ye Luo had no intention of putting Little Ah Qiao in the position of concubine. If Little Ah Qiao hadn't sternly refused, she would have gone with Bai Xiuzhu that day!

Not to mention that kind of scene, how much shock and embarrassment it will bring when so many important guests are present.

Li Shuzhen knew in her heart that if Xiao Aqiao had persisted, her good son would have dared to marry two wives in one day!

She also admired Xiao Aqiao's general knowledge from the bottom of her heart.

As both women, with similar thoughts, Li Shuzhen knew little Aqiao's suffering and sacrifice, so she took the initiative to find Bai Xiuzhu.

Unexpectedly, Bai Xiuzhu, who is famous for being unruly and willful, did not make a fuss, but accepted it happily.

He even personally brought little Aqiao in, ate and lived with her, but drove Ye Luo, the groom, out.

Bai Xiuzhu said that she would be the godmother of her unborn child, and little Aqiao agreed wholeheartedly.

At this time, Li Shuzhen, who was walking over with snacks, looked at the harmonious scene between the two daughters-in-law and suddenly remembered what Ye Luo had said.

"Mom, you underestimated Sister Xiuzhu. If she really cared about this, she would never have fallen in love with a man like me from the beginning. She knows what kind of person I am better than anyone else, but she still loves me without hesitation."

"Do you think I married Xiuzhu because of the Bai family? I simply love her and love her. I can't bear to see her becoming another man's bed partner. It has nothing to do with anything."

"My younger brother, among other things, is a very good judge of people."

This was what Ye Hao felt when Ye Qingqing got married.

Nowadays, Ye Qingqing and Zhang Anyi are still studying in the United States. Their son-in-law Lin Yuan, who has little presence because of the intrusion, has taken the lead to become famous in Ye's investment.

The parachute advertisements flying all over the sky, as well as all the newspapers in Shanghai at the moment, are all in the hands of this Chinese teacher son-in-law who was once looked down upon by his old man.

"A Luo is good at everything, but the love debt is too much." The second concubine, Li Shuting, appeared next to Li Shuzhen at some unknown time, pursing her lips and smiling softly.

"Ah? This guy has messed with other women?" Li Shuzhen was stunned for a moment. She guessed that Ye Luo still had women outside, but from what Li Shuting said, it seemed that there were quite a few.

Her heart skipped a beat.

"Sister, don't you feel something's wrong with the way Jianqiao looks at A'luo?" Li Shuting is someone who has been there, and she said something to wake up the dreamer.

"There are also Miss Feng Chengcheng, Miss Tang Ying, Lu Xiaoman, who always come to the house to play mahjong a few days ago, and this one." She picked up the printing paper and touched Hu Die's name with her fingertips.

"Hey - this bastard, I want him to have more children, not just like a cow." Li Shuzhen suddenly felt very worried.

While several elders in the family were worried about their male and female affairs, Ye Luo was having a great time in the studio of Ye's Film Company.

After Xiao Aqiao became pregnant and could not take care of her work, he acted as the boss of Yip's Films and went to the filming set every day.

Everyone likes the guidance of the second young master, not to mention his many novel ideas and aesthetics that transcend the times. Every time he comes, there are constant benefits such as red envelopes and late-night snacks. Who doesn't love it?
