Marriage of the Republic of China

The dirt road was bumpy, and the car drove forward slowly.Luo Gan glanced in the rearview mirror and saw Fu Wenge's sullen face, full of displeasure, as if the car was sending him to a den of thieves.Just when Fu Wenge dared to challenge Ban Bai Hanchen, Luo Gan was as clear as a mirror in his heart. This was the confidence given to him by his status as "the eldest son of the Chief of Staff of the Baoding Garrison".

Although Baoding is not as prosperous as Beiping, it is an important strategic city.Just like in the past, when Baoding was laid down, there was no way to defend the south of Beiping, so we could only make a "gentlemen's agreement" to transfer military power.The Baoding Military Academy is also the birthplace of today's powerful people in power. The generals' mentors, colleagues, and clan relatives are deeply rooted here, so that the status of the chief of the Baoding garrison is even higher than that of some senior officials in Nanjing.

It's just that Luo Gan didn't expect that Fu Wenge looked weak as a scholar on the surface, but just like his father, he had a temper that couldn't rub the sand in his eyes.Moreover, the students from this foreign school are really not very popular in the market, and I am afraid that they will suffer a lot in the future.

Thinking about this, Luo Gan put forward his identity as the elder of the clan, and advised: "Wen Ge, listen to Uncle's persuasion, now that you are out, it is not as quiet as in school. In the future, please be careful when you talk and do things. Too serious."

"Uncle Luo, if your stall was kicked today, would you be able to swallow this breath?"

"Didn't Second Master Bai lose money?" Luo Gan asked back, "You think, keeping such a dilapidated stall and being exposed to the sun all day long, how much money can you make in the end? A dozen yuan is the ocean, a month's money. Who wouldn't be happy when the chewing grain came out?"

"What about dignity? Is it worthless?" Fu Wenge raised his eyes, his gaze was firm, and he met Luo Gan's gaze in the rearview mirror.

Luo Gan sneered: "I can't even eat enough, I have the dignity of a fart. Wen Ge, I live at home, I want to be safe, I don't have such a hard back as you students, see Tian Jie shouting about strengthening the country and rejuvenating the country. Eat less What the hell, your feet feel fluttering when you walk. If you talk about dignity with him, isn’t that playing the piano with a cow?”

"..."

Fu Wenge lowered his face, his eyes were completely buried under the brim of his hat, and he didn't speak any more.

The Bai Family Mansion is located on the west side of the Forbidden City and along the northern edge of Houhai. It has a wide regulation and covers an area of ​​more than [-] mu.There are five doors in the outer courtyard wall and street gate. After entering, it is divided into three courtyards, the Eastern, the Western, and the Eastern. There are about a hundred rooms, large and small.Fu Wenge heard from Luo Gan that this place used to be the Prince's Mansion.During the Gengzi period, the Eight-Power Allied Forces entered the city, and after looting it, they set fire to it and burned it beyond recognition.The existing building was rebuilt on the original site after the master of the Bai family bought the title deed from the landlord whose family was in decline.

The reconstruction is still in the style of the palace of the Qing Dynasty.Fu Wenge got out of the car, looked at the heavy copper nailed gate, and couldn't help but secretly sighed in his heart that the owner of the mansion was old-fashioned.Now they all prefer to live in small western-style buildings, like the one in his home.There is a courtyard in the vestibule, and a small white three-story building is inside, and the car can drive directly to the door of the building.

Unlike here, the car can only be parked on the side of the street, and you have to lift your legs to cross the one-foot-high threshold to enter the door.Although the decorations are all new, the overall look is old-fashioned and outdated, which is completely the traditional regulation of the old-fashioned royal relatives.

The building is old-fashioned and the rules are old.Visitors can't enter the house right away, they have to wait in the porter's room to be notified.Not long after, the concierge old Feng came back and told them that the wife had arrived in the front hall and invited the guests in.

When walking through the corridor, Luo Gan asked softly with a smile: "Wen Ge, can you see what's special about the old Feng who is watching the door?"

Fu Wenge thought for a while, and said, "The voice is high-pitched, and the behavior is like an old lady."

"He is a eunuch, and he entered the palace at the age of 11." Luo Gan's mouth hung a trace of disdain, "I served the empress dowager, but when the Qing Dynasty died, I lost power. He was kicked out of the house with his butt naked. Hey, if you want to say that this old Feng Tou thinks he was also a tyrant in the past, look at the present... So, if you are a slave for a day, you will be a slave for the rest of your life."

However, Fu Wenge disagreed: "It is the life of a slave to have the heart of a slave."

Luo Gan frowned slightly, the two of them had already arrived at the front hall while speaking.According to the old system, there were no seats in the front hall, and Mrs. Bai stood dignifiedly in front of the hall. Seeing Fu Wenge, she faintly smiled.

"Madam is auspicious." Luo Gan entered the room in the same old-school way of greeting: step back with his right foot, bend his left knee slightly, take off his hat with his left hand, clasp his right hand in front of him and point to the ground obliquely.

Fu Wenge didn't like the behavior of the old and young in the imperial city, so he just lowered his head, handed over the gift he brought, and said, "Mrs. Bai, hello."

Asking the girl next to him to take the gift, Mrs. Bai looked at Fu Wenge calmly, and her smile gradually widened: "This is Wenge, I think. The longer I grow, the more I look like your father. Do you still remember me? More than ten years You were only this tall when I went to Baoding Mansion with the master."

As she spoke, she reached out and gestured towards the altar, about the height of a four or five-year-old child.

Fu Wenge shook his head: "Too young, I can't remember."

However, he remembered, but it was inconvenient to mention it.At that time, Mrs. Bai was still in the concubine, and she could only stand when she entered the room, watching the old lady chatting with her parents, unable to say a word.You can't go to the main table during the meal, and take your son to the table with the driver and the guard.Now that the eldest wife is finally gone, the smiling face that was flattering at that time is now full of pride that has been suppressed for many years.

Luo Gan said from the side: "Madam, according to Master Bai's order, I will deliver the person. If I have something to do later, I will... go back first."

Mrs. Bai hastened to keep him: "Master Luo, the master said, it's been a hard trip on a hot day, and I have to thank you very much. I ordered the dishes at Zhengyanglou at noon, and they were delivered as soon as I spoke. You can drink two glasses. Sweat off, rest your legs for a while, and then go."

"I really don't mind, you don't need to be too busy. I have an appointment. I have an appointment at noon." Luo Gan lightly pushed Fu Wenge's arm, "Wenge, chat with your wife for a while. If you need anything, call the guild hall. I."

Hearing this, Fu Wenge suddenly remembered his father's instructions before leaving the house, and asked, "Mrs. Bai, is there a telegraph machine at home? I want to send a telegram to my father to say he's safe."

"Yes." Mrs. Bai greeted behind her, "Yue'er, take Master Fu to the west courtyard to send a telegram to Mr. Pei."

Thanks to Mrs. Bai's family, Fu Wenge went out with the maid named Yue'er.

When Fu Wenge walked away, the smile on Mrs. Bai's face disappeared, and she gave Luo Gan a wink: "Master Luo, don't hurry, I have to delay you for a while."

Luo Gan followed her into the side hall of the main hall.

Mrs. Bai picked up the silver dollar stick wrapped in red paper on the plan and handed it to him, saying: "The master's order, the money for renting the car and driver, and your hard work are all here. "

"Hey, ma'am, what are you talking about? It's a great blessing to be able to do things for Master Bai. How dare you accept money." Although Luo Gan refused, he secretly planned to get rid of the car and driver's money. How much can I fall.

"Take it, don't think it's too little." Mrs. Bai held up the silk handkerchief and pressed the corner of her mouth, "This matter is thanks to you who made peace in the middle, otherwise Qiao Ansheng would be willing to send Fu Wenge to the Bai family... I know that he despises me and my son in his heart."

Luo Gan hurriedly said: "No, you are overthinking."

Mrs. Bai snorted coldly: "Master Luo, our family doesn't talk about each other. No one in Baoding Manor knows that Qiao Ansheng forced him to die in the side room of the chief of staff, and now let him and my side room People from different backgrounds get married, I'm afraid they will vomit old blood."

"No, if you hadn't known people with your eyes back then, and persuaded Master Bai to sell tens of thousands of dollars to Fu Junkai, he would be a shitty chief of staff! As the saying goes, if a staff officer doesn't have a chief, he won't fart. Now he pays Now that Jun Kai has gained power, can’t he repay you and Master Bai’s kindness?” As Luo Gan spoke, he suddenly remembered something, “Yo, yes, I just ran into Second Master on the road, and Young Master Fu had a little friction with him... I thought about it, these two people didn't see each other."

"It's not that, the parents' order, the matchmaker's words, the family has to listen to the marriage. Besides, Hanchen knows the importance, and with the help of Chief of Staff, the building of the arsenal and the supply of military supplies can be settled. "

As Mrs. Bai spoke, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"It won't be long before I can sit on an equal footing with those officials and wives in Nanjing."

The author has something to say: Well~ The rhythm of this article is obviously a little slower than the previous one. The background of the Republic of China, the tone is slower

Old Beijing dialect under popular science: the sound of "he" is pronounced by the guest of the visitor (as is said in many areas in the north). The "uh" means something like that; chewing grain, I think many people know it, means living expenses; the backbone of the backbone is pronounced "mother", and it sounds like a spine; and, The Luo in "Luo Gehan" is the four sounds of LAO, which should be said by most people in the north, and there are also Luojiao, Luoding (stop is also four times) and the like.

If there is anything you don’t understand, you can leave a message to ask, or you have heard some Beijing dialects that you don’t understand, and you are welcome to leave a message to discuss together (to be honest, if I listen to the old Beijing Nancheng people now, there are many things I don’t understand)

In addition, let me talk about the telegraph.I asked my grandma before, she had a telegraph at home when she was a child, and news outside Beijing was delivered by telegram instead of calling.But my father-in-law works at the post office, so it's not surprising that I can use telegrams.If other big families want to use it, they need a special person to be responsible for sending and receiving.

The main purpose of this article is the conflict between old and new ideas, and the protagonists influence each other subtly
