Space-time SWAT

In August, hibiscus flowers bloom all over the city, which is extremely beautiful.

A convoy came meanderingly and entered the north gate of Rongcheng. There were a few cars in the front carrying people, and more than a dozen carriages in the back were full of boxes and cages. The guards, bodyguards, and riders who followed were strong and strong, with a Beijing accent, and went straight to Duyuan Street. Soon into the Governor's Palace.

Not long after, Lu Zhaolin and Mu Boming, who were busy in the military academy, received a report from their family that Erye Mu and Miss Mu from Beijing had arrived. Along with them, there was Mr. Zhan Tianyou who Lu Haocang sent to invite.

The two immediately got on their horses and galloped back home, attracting countless people's attention along the way. The big girl and the young daughter-in-law all had bright eyes, watching their figures running past the gorgeous hibiscus flowers intently, as beautiful as a long scroll.

It has not been a year since they came back, and their reputation has spread throughout the three provinces in the Southwest. Newspapers and magazines praised them as "Double Pieces of Rongcheng". ", they are all among them, and they are among the best.As soon as their names are mentioned, there are countless noble ladies, Xiaojiabiyu, Jianghu chivalrous women, and brothel prostitutes who are full of enthusiasm.Fortunately, they were usually either in the military camp or in the military academy, or back to the governor's mansion, otherwise they would not know what it would be like to be entangled.

The more ambitious girl in the Governor's Mansion was beaten and sold after she failed to climb the bed, and the others stopped.Seeing that Lu Zhaolin is not attractive, those girls had no choice but to turn their attention to Lu Haocang again. Although he is over the age of [-], he is still handsome, strong and healthy, and can still attract girls' hearts. There is endless glory and wealth, if you can give birth to a son and a half for him, you will be dependable for life.

Lu Zhaolin never cared about the undercurrents in the backyard, except to pay his respects to the elders, he rarely entered the backyard.At this time, he entered the governor's mansion, went to the outer study first, and met Mu Bowen and Zhan Tianyou.

Both of them had studied in the United States, and they were equally unrecognized when they returned to China. They hit it off right away, and they had a lot to talk about along the way, and they became friends.

Lu Haocang introduced the current situation in the Southwest and future plans, and said straight to the point: "The governor plans to build railways in the three southwestern provinces, and at the same time take back the Yunnan Railway from the French. Mr. Zhan's help is needed. In addition, the governor plans to open the Southwest Bank. I would like to ask my second uncle to be the president. The governor needs money to train new troops, build railways, start companies, build factories, open up business routes, and introduce foreign technology, so I ask my uncle to help me."

Mu Bowen is 35 years old this year. He is gentle and elegant. He has been suppressed for many years.He also volunteered for this errand to see off his relatives, just wanting to hide.Unexpectedly, as soon as he came to Rongcheng, he would be entrusted with a heavy responsibility by Lu Haocang, so he was at a loss for words and couldn't make a decision.

Zhan Tianyou was very excited, "I studied hard in the United States for many years. After returning to China, I was determined to revitalize China and build railways. This is the foundation for economic growth. To be appreciated by the governor and let me realize my lifelong ambitions is what I wish for." He is about the same age as Lu Haocang, with a slightly chubby body and an honest face. He looks like a steady and practical person.

Lu Haocang was very happy, "The governor has established a railway company, and asked Mr. Zhan to be the chief engineer of the company. Mr. Zhan traveled long distances and crossed mountains and mountains. It was really hard work, and he will rest for a few days before taking up his post."

Zhan Tianyou couldn't wait, "I'll go to the company tomorrow, time waits for no one."

"Okay." Lu Haocang did not dissuade, "Tomorrow the governor will ask the company manager to pick up Mr. in person."

Zhan Tianyou waved his hand quickly, "That's not necessary, just ask the governor to send someone to take me there."

Lu Haocang said with a smile: "Mr. Zhan, you don't have to be polite, let the governor arrange this matter."

After a few words of politeness, the two settled down, and Zhan Tianyou stopped disturbing them to reminisce about the old days, and went to the guest house to rest.

Mu Boming and Lu Zhaolin walked into the study, only to see Lu Haocang and Mu Bowen who were talking happily.They didn't ask much, and went forward to salute first.

When Mu Bowen saw the young man beside his younger brother, his eyes lighted up.Lu Zhaolin is wearing a military uniform, his eyebrows are like distant mountains, his eyes are like autumn waters, he is as gentle as jade, and he is as tall and straight as a pine tree.

Mu Bowen felt relieved, the elder niece married this polite nephew, not only did she not lose money, but she made a lot of money.He put up the airs of an elder, but without losing his kindness, he smiled and said: "Renrui, dragon and phoenix are like Zhilan and Yushu. If my elder brother finds out that he has such a good son-in-law, he will celebrate with his forehead and hands. Although my Ruier has learned some piano Chess calligraphy and painting, after all, I have never gone out to practice, my temper is innocent, I don’t know the world, I hope Renrui will take care of it in the future.”

Lu Zhaolin cupped his hands respectfully, "Second uncle is serious. Miss Mu has a long history of education and a pure and kind nature. I am very grateful to be able to marry me, and I will treat her kindly."

Mu Boming didn't bother to watch them come and go and talk politely, and asked directly: "Second brother, how is the situation in Beijing?"

Mu Bowen was naturally not polite to his younger brother. He took a sip of the tea and said simply: "The emperor has killed Rong Lu and Yuan Shikai, which can be regarded as letting go of the anger that has been pent up in his heart for many years. Now that it’s calmed down, it’s probably about to issue a decree to create a constitution.”

"A constitution will really be established?" Mu Boming didn't believe it. "How could he give up the imperial power that he just acquired?"

"Don't be naive." Mu Bowen glanced at him indifferently, "Promoting constitutionalism seems to be advocated by Han Chen and the opposition parties, which has loosened the emperor's attitude. In fact, it is mainly foreigners who persecute him more and more. The emperor had no choice but to do it. Will foreigners have any kindness towards us? Certainly not possible. They promote the establishment of a constitution, in fact, they want to use this method to better control our country. Just buy more members, and gradually we can control our country. Become their colony, just like the countries in South Asia and Southeast Asia. The emperor agreed to the constitution, but it was just a stopgap measure, but in fact, he was secretly brewing and wanted to re-centralize power in the hands of the Manchus. Lord Weng, Lord Kang, Lord Liang and the eldest brother The Manchus are opposed to the centralization of power, but each has their own ideas about the establishment of a constitution, and Mr. Weng disagrees."

"I see." Mu Boming nodded, "Foreigners are indeed determined to kill me, so we must guard against it."

"Actually, foreigners are not smart. It's just that the imperial court was afraid of being beaten, so they let them get whatever they want." Mu Bowen looked at Lu Haocang, "I heard that when the Dongyang people were building a concession in the mountain city, Master Lu tricked them into enclosing a piece of wasteland. Most of them are sandy beaches, which will be flooded during the summer flood season, and after ten years of tossing, only a few houses were built, and even the Orientals are unwilling to go to the concession, but live in the mountain city."

"Yes." Lu Haocang chuckled, "When they came to enclose the land, my old man was still the governor. I had studied in Dongyang, so I went to Shancheng to receive them. They asked for a large piece of land, and Shancheng is a mountain city. Isn't this an intentional embarrassment? I finally found such a piece of land that meets their requirements, and it is also cheap for them."

Mu Bowen couldn't help laughing, "There are so many foreign concessions, only the one in the mountain city didn't hurt us, but the Orientals suffered a lot. My brother-in-law is a great talent, and my younger brother admires it."

The four of them laughed for a long time for the sake of stealing chickens for the Japanese, and Mu Boming said: "Second brother, I knew you were coming, and I have already bought a house. It is by the Jinjiang River. The scenery is beautiful and the yard is big enough. I will renovate it. After a few months, it is very able to live. The second brother will take over his sister-in-law, nephew and niece, and let him make a home here. I also bought a few shops and some fields, and I will add makeup to the eldest niece. The eldest niece came from us Married in the pasture house, there is a second elder brother and second sister-in-law, and there will be a mother's family here in the future."

"It's not big or small." Mu Bowen glared at him, "You are my master. When did I say I want to settle down here?"

Mu Boming had a playful smile, "Second brother, although there is Wuhou Temple here, let's not learn from Zhuge Liang, okay? Do you want your brother-in-law to pretend to be Liu Bei and visit the thatched cottage? That's too hypocritical."

Mu Bowen immediately hated this younger brother who made trouble, "I think you are itchy, so I will write a letter to tell my father and elder brother later that I must take good care of you."

"I won't go back, let's see how they deal with me." Mu Boming played a rogue, "Why don't we take all our parents here and settle down here. The capital is surging, so it's good to have a big brother there, our father and mother Stop being frightened."

"You don't hurt your back when you stand and talk." Mu Bowen snorted, "It's not that easy..."

Lu Haocang and Lu Zhaolin drank tea leisurely, watching the two brothers bicker with a smile on their faces.When Mu Bowen was so pestered by Mu Boming that he agreed to stay and have a look, Lu Haocang opened his mouth to express his warm welcome.

The four of them drank a few cups of tea, discussed some matters of getting married, and then went to the Dexin Courtyard at the back together.

Miss Mu is also here, chatting with Mrs. Mu, Mrs. Huang, and the young ladies from the Lu family, but she feels a little uneasy.She was implicated by her father in the middle of the capital, and she was divorced twice, and it has been delayed until today.However, she got acquainted with many foreign wives and ladies who settled in the capital, and her vision was broader than that of ordinary ladies. She was not depressed or inferior to being unable to get married after the age of twenty.Knowing that her father betrothed herself to her uncle's son, she didn't reject it. When she heard that the man's biological mother was an actress, or a concubine sold by her uncle's family back then, she immediately felt that this person had such a bad background and was really not a good person. There was a lot of trouble in Beijing.Mu Bowen told her that the man was a close friend of her uncle, who went to study in England and Germany when he was a teenager, and he was called a genius. Now he has been recorded under her aunt's name, and he is the eldest son of the governor of Sichuan in terms of etiquette. , more than enough for her.Although she approved of this marriage, she didn't know what kind of character he was, and she was always a little uneasy.

When Lu Zhaolin strode in and saluted the elders of the Lu family and the Huang family, she secretly looked at him carefully, and saw that he was tall and tall, handsome and mighty, with a pair of phoenix eyes shining brightly, and his close-fitting military uniform outlined his waist and a pair of Straight and long legs, appearance, temperament and character are all top choices. Suddenly, her heart is pounding, her pretty face is flushed, blood is rushing in her body, and she can't help trembling slightly.

On the surface, Lu Zhaolin was very polite, and he didn't look around. With a glance, he saw the woman sitting next to Mrs. Lu.She has the tall figure of a northern woman, with straight shoulders, round waist, beautiful appearance, clear eyebrows, and looks very healthy.He is quite satisfied, this is a woman who does not need to be coaxed and pampered by men every day, very good.
