In the winter of the 32nd year of the Republic of China, Zhao Zhenghe, the leader of the army in Lu Province, was paralyzed by a stroke, and his fourth son Zhao Huaiyu temporarily took over the position of the army leader. Zhao Ershao, Zhao Huaisen, who protested the most, was quickly suppressed.
As for the third young master, Zhao Huaichao, he dropped out of the military academy two years ago and re-examined at Beijing University. It is said that he studied physics and entered the laboratory of Shen Ershao. He was not interested in military affairs. He came back specifically to support Zhao Sishao.
In the past four years, both Zhao Huaiyu and Zhao Huaichao have grown up a lot. After Zhao Huaichao came out to visit Commander Zhao, he was quite emotional when he saw Zhao Huaiyu under the eaves in the distance.
Who would have thought of how many of their brothers, but the old fourth who was obedient to his promises finally came to the throne. He opened his eyes and learned a lot in the capital over the years. He also knew that his fourth brother was just forbearing and pretending. To be able to endure from the age of eight to more than ten years old, is also very capable.
For those who seek great things, forbearance is the top priority. His fourth brother endured and achieved today's status.
It's not that he didn't think about the name of the young marshal. When his father sent him to the military academy, at least 70% of his thoughts were to want him to inherit his position. Unfortunately, he knew that he was not expected to lead the army to seek government affairs, so for two years He dropped out of school and went to Beijing University, and now doing some research he loves is more comfortable for him than being a young handsome man.
He paced over, and when he heard his footsteps, the fourth child turned around and looked over.
The eighteen-year-old boy was already fully grown, and he was not at all juvenile. He wore a dark green military uniform with a coat of the same color, and he held a horsewhip in his leather gloves. It seemed that he had just returned from riding a horse. A pair of eyes that are much deeper than ordinary people looked over, like a deep pool without waves, without a trace of emotion, only standing quietly, with a threatening aura.
"Third brother."
Fourteen-year-old Zhao Huaiyu, on the surface, envied and respected Zhao Huaichao, but was actually jealous and disdainful, and perhaps there was a trace of envy that he didn't want to admit, while eighteen-year-old Zhao Huaiyu nodded lightly at him, with a calm demeanor and a calm heart.
"Fourth brother."
Zhao Huaichao stepped forward, looked at it carefully again, and couldn't help but praise: "I was in a hurry to visit my father, but I didn't have time to take a closer look at you. Yes, you really look like a young marshal."
Zhao Huaiyu said lightly: "Thank you third brother just now for your support."
Zhao Huaichao waved his hand: "You and my brother, don't say that." Besides, he knew that even without his words, Zhao Huaiyu should still be the young marshal. He just saw clearly in the lobby that the adjutants didn't mean to object at all. , and Zhao Huaisen was furious there.
After the exchange, the two lost their voices for a while, and the atmosphere became a little awkward. After all, the two were not good brothers with deep feelings, and they hadn't gotten along for a long time. In the past four years, they met in a hurry during the New Year, saying that they were brothers. I'm afraid it is better to get close to the entourage around you.
In the end, it was Zhao Huaichao who broke the silence first. Facing the snow scene under the porch, he sighed with emotion: "After so many years, I still remember that we played together in this yard when we were young, and we all started a family and a business..."
Zhao Huaiyu squinted at the falling snow on the tree, not in the mood to listen to his nostalgia for nostalgia, and interrupted him: "Third brother, speak directly."
Zhao Huaisen and Zhao Huaichao played with each other when he was a child. For him, it wasn't play at all, it was pain. The pain of being driven as a horse and riding as a dog and pretending to be stupid.
Zhao Huaichao also reacted at this time, remembering those things when he was a child, his expression was a little embarrassed: "Then I will say it straight, I want to take my mother away, I have saved some money for research in the past two years, and bought a room in Beijing. The apartment, so I want to pick up my mother."
He didn't say it too clearly, but everyone knew what it meant.
His mother was just a concubine. Now that his father has become like this, the affairs of the back house are naturally all up to his wife. On the way he came, he had heard that his wife had sent many barren concubines, and his mother stayed at home. In the future, the wife would not know about it. How to take action to rectify, of course, there is also the reason for Zhao Huaiyu.
At the beginning, his mother suppressed Zhao Huaiyu a lot for his sake, saying that he could not let his mother stay at home no matter how small he was, so he wanted to take her away, and I am afraid he would not come back in the future.
He had strongly supported Zhao Huaiyu in the lobby before, helping him suppress Zhao Huaisen in front of the clans, and part of the reason was for this.
Zhao Huaiyu raised his eyebrows: "As long as your wife doesn't object."
He didn't need to hold him accountable for what the Eighth Auntie did to him at the beginning, perhaps because he was the victor now, and he didn't hold the grudge against her as he did in the past. His goal of working so hard for so many years was in vain. It was already the best revenge, but asking him It was absolutely impossible to help her. If Zhao Huaichao could take the Eighth Concubine away from his wife, that would be his ability.
Zhao Huaichao was also clear in his heart, and bowed his hands to him: "Thank you, I will go to my mother's place first, and I will talk when I have time."
After taking two steps, he turned around again, with a guilt expression on his face: "Anyway, I still want to say sorry to you, for me and for my mother, I'm sorry."
After speaking, he left quickly.
Zhao Huaiyu was stunned for a while, then he was stunned, and when he stretched out his hand to the side, an attendant quietly came to him, handed him his hat, he took it and put it on, and said lightly, "Go and send someone to keep an eye on it."
"Yes."
The handover of military power in Lu Province, as the new commander of the army, although there is a sub-word because Commander Zhao did not really die, but the handover that should be done still has to be done, such as going to Beijing to report for the award.
When things calmed down in Lu Province, it was already mid-January, and the new young marshal Zhao Huaiyu and his brother Zhao Huaichao took the train into Beijing.
At the same time, Shen Qi was on a blind date.
To be precise, it was to participate in the plum-appreciating blind date banquet organized by Shen Sanshao in name.
President Hua set a law that both men and women can register for marriage after they reach 20. Before 20, it is illegal. Therefore, although boys and girls at this time began to declare love at the age of 14 or 15, they generally did not get engaged until they turned 18. Twenty officially married.
Four years later, Shen Qi was twenty-two, and he had exceeded the legal age for marriage by two years. From his mother, the first wife of the president, to his six-year-old nephew Dou Jin, all eyes were on his marriage.
Since Shen Qi was over twenty, he couldn't bear it anymore, so he bought another courtyard outside, and spent most of the month in another courtyard.
It's not that the eldest wife is not open-minded, but in this big environment, it's better not to get married at least first, but Shen Qi is surprised that she has never expressed a good impression of any girl so far.
Just when the eldest wife began to wonder if there was something wrong with him, Shen Qi had no choice but to confess that she was only interested in men, and said that she had no plans to marry a woman in her life.
This has stabbed the hornet's nest, not to mention the eldest wife, even President Shen, who has always been tolerant and let him grow up, has raised his face. In his mind, Shen Qi will inherit the Shen family business in the future, or even continue Inheriting his title, he would rather have a little flair than marry.
The tug-of-war lasted for nearly a year. The husband and wife fought together by various means. Shen Qi had no choice but to go out to the closet in front of the people of the country through the radio.
It is estimated that in the future history, he will not be able to take off the title of the first person who came out of the closet in the Republic of China.
At this time, the Shen family had to die and help him deal with the aftermath, but Shen Qi had a plan long ago, he didn't want to pretend to live his whole life, as long as he had absolute strength, what are these afraid of? There are not people who have an open disposition in history. The emperor, and even those who almost had a male queen, still held great power, and even among these warlords, there were also many who kept actor male pets.
Furthermore, the Shen family is now in the limelight. The four sons of the Shen family, the first three are known to have no hope. Many people's attention falls on him. The next five years will definitely not be the father Shen, his son. He is too young, so the publicity will reduce the attention paid to him.
And he is young, young people are frivolous and flirtatious, who can say right or wrong.
President Shen and the eldest wife had to accept this trouble, but Shen Qi underestimated the acceptability of people in this era, and the eldest lady's attitude changed, and she chose a fiancé for him resolutely.
In the words of the eldest wife, don't marry a woman, like a man, well, then find you a man-in-law, whether it's an audition or a recommendation, you must start a family.
Rao is that Shen Qi is more powerful and domineering outside, and he still feels weak when facing the old lady.
As for President Shen, President Shen said that he listened to his wife.
Since then, the so-called plum reward banquet was held, and it was not the first time, but it was secretive. Everyone knew what the banquet was for, whether it was true admiration for Shen Qi, or simply for profit. A lot of people really came.
Shen Qi was sitting in the pavilion by the third brother Shen, and there were a group of green and beautiful teenagers in the plum forest below, ranging from fourteen to eighteen years old, of all kinds and everything.
Shen Qi felt that the eldest wife had probably made a mistake. He liked men, but he didn't say that he was above. Of course, this kind of thing was a matter of face, and he would never publicize it, so let everyone misunderstand. .
"What do you think about that one?" Brother Shen held a fan in the winter and looked elegant, and pointed to a young man standing quietly under a plum tree, wearing a blue long gown, looking quite elegant.
"Too thin." Shen Qi propped his chin indifferently.
"What about that one?" Third Brother Shen turned his fan handle and landed on a young man with a bright smile in Merlin's suit and coat.
"too short."
"Then that?" Third brother Shen was not discouraged, he didn't believe it, none of the thirty-two people he had selected in the audition for so many days was successful.
However, Shen Qi was unceremonious and rejected them one by one. He had already despaired of the taste of the third brother Shen. This one is more than the other, is he going to attack with tears
He helped his forehead helplessly, and it seemed that he could only blame the image he displayed to the outside world over the years for being too strong, even his own family thought so, not to mention outsiders.
Just as he was about to make some subtle words, Shen An stepped forward and whispered in his ear: "Seventh Master, Zhao Sishao has come to Beijing, and he came directly, just outside the garden."
Shen Qi squinted his eyes for a moment, just as he was about to order the arrangement, the kiss from four years ago suddenly appeared in his mind, and his mind moved, and he had an idea: "Tell him to come to see me directly."
"Yes."
Facing the curious gaze of the third brother Shen, he raised his lips: "The third brother tells these people to go back, I have already been selected."
"Who is it?" Brother Shen immediately sat up straight.
"Hey, someone is here." Shen Qi raised his chin and motioned him to look down.
It snowed last night, and the whole garden was covered with snow. For the sake of elegance, the rest of the snow did not move except on the aisle. The white snow and the bright red plums were like a painting when you looked up at random.
In the picture scroll at the moment, a straight and firm figure came, like a sharp sword, splitting the comfort in the picture scroll, showing the chill of winter.
When they could see each other's faces clearly, the figure paused and looked up. A pair of deep eyes looked straight at Shen Qi through the brim of the hat.
Shen Qi held his chin high and looked back down, with a casual smile on his lips.
Plum blossoms bloom all around.
Just as we met at the beginning of the year.

Zhao Huaiyu: Blind date, hehe.
