Jagged Warlord

On December 1915, 12, Li Mohan received a good news from Xiao Wenlong in Xiao County in his study. He put the telegram on the desk with satisfaction and rang the electric bell on the desk.

After a while, a well-mannered young man with glasses knocked on the door and came in, "My lord, do you have any orders?" The name of this man is Shang Yifu, a native of Shangqiu, a graduate of Nanyang Public School, and one of the Shang family of the seven major families and eight families in Shangqiu. The second young master.His current identity is Li Mohan's secretary.

Li Mohan pointed to the telegram on the table, and said: "New Year's Day is coming soon, and the soldiers on the front line are also suffering. You prepare some delicious food and drink to send to the front line. At the same time, let the soldiers on the front line have a three-day holiday. Just take a break."

"New Year's Day?" Shang Yifu pushed his eyes on the bridge of his nose

"Yes, New Year's Day. Is there a problem?" Li Mohan's reaction to Shang Yifu was a little strange

There has been a "Spring Festival" in Chinese history, but it refers to the "Lichun" in the 24 solar terms. Zheng also." In the Northern and Southern Dynasties, "Spring Festival" refers to the whole spring.It is after the Revolution of [-] that the first month of the first month must be designated as the "Spring Festival".

On New Year's Day in 1912, the Republic of China was proclaimed in Nanjing, and Sun Yat-sen became the interim president. He immediately announced that China would abolish the old calendar and adopt the Gregorian calendar (that is, the Gregorian calendar) and use the Republic of China to record the year.This has the tradition of changing the dynasty and re-establishing the "imperial calendar", and it also implies a complete break with the feudal dynasty.Unexpectedly, the people did not accept Sun Yat-sen's suggestion for a while, so two kinds of calendars, the lunar calendar and the solar calendar, became popular among the people at the same time.On February 2 of that year (the first day of the first month of the Renzi year), the folks still celebrated the traditional New Year, and other traditional festivals also remained the same.

However, in the end, Yuan Shikai only approved the first day of the first lunar month as the Spring Festival (because it was a "republic of five nationalities" at that time, and it was not appropriate to list Han festivals such as the Dragon Boat Festival as national holidays), and agreed to a routine holiday for the Spring Festival, which began to be implemented in the following year (1913).Since then, the beginning of the Lunar New Year has been changed from "Chinese New Year" to "Spring Festival".Since this "Spring Festival" was approved by Yuan Shikai, many people who turned against Yuan refused to celebrate this Spring Festival.

Shang Yifu kindly reminded: "My lord, although the government of the Republic of China stipulated that January 1st of the Gregorian calendar is the New Year's Day holiday, the folks still count according to the lunar calendar."

Li Mohan smiled and said, "It's okay. The soldiers on the front line have three days off for food and drink, so they don't care whether it's the Gregorian calendar or the lunar calendar. Let's do it this way."

Shang Yifu thought it was not a big deal, so he recorded it in his notebook and then went to implement it.

"Oh, my lord, I would like to ask for a leave this afternoon." Shang Yifu said

"What's the matter?" Li Mohan asked

"Family matters, my younger brother and sister are coming back from Beijing, I'm going to them at Station Street." Shang Yifu replied

"Oh, anyway, I won't go out in the afternoon, let the driver drive you there, and take your brothers and sisters home together." Li Mohan said

Shang Yifu hurriedly declined, "How dare you work."

"Really not?"

"Adults are caring, humble and considerate, and really dare not disturb." Shang Yifu was flattered

Li Mohan happened to have nothing to do, so he approved Shang Yifu's leave, "Shaw, are your younger siblings studying in Beijing?"

"Yes!" Shang Yifu said proudly, "My younger sister is a top student at Jingshi Women's University, and my younger brother is a student at Baoding Military Academy. They both graduated~"

As soon as Li Mohan heard that there were military students, he became interested, "Baoding Military Academy? What subject? Artillery? I urgently need talents from the artillery department."

Shang Yifu smiled apologetically, "To be honest, my lord, I don't care enough for my younger siblings. They have been studying in Beijing for many years, and I, as an older brother, don't know what they are studying."

Li Mohan smiled, "You brother really doesn't care about what you do." He stood up and put on a windbreaker, "Come on, I'll go to the station with you to pick up someone."

Shang Yifu panicked, "How dare you go pick it up yourself?"

Li Mohan straightened his face and said: "Back then, Han Gaozu was able to give his subordinates his clothes to wear, and his own food to his subordinates to eat. Today I just stopped by to pick up your younger siblings. Do you think I am inferior? Or I am not worthy ?”

"Uh~ this!" Shang Yifu was speechless, and could only let Li Mohan stuff himself into the Ford car that was transported from Tianjin.

"Xiao Yang, the train station." Li Mohan yelled, and the driver immediately drove to the train station.

In the car, Li Mohan asked Shang Yifu, "How old is your little sister?"

Shang Yifu replied: "Little sister Yunzhi is 19 years old this year."

"Oh!" In recent days, Li Mohan was really free, so he insisted on going with Shang Yifu to pick up the fourth lady and the third son of the Shang family.

When they arrived at the station and entered the platform, Li Mohan and Shang Yifu chatted with each other.While chattering, Shang Yifu suddenly stretched his neck and looked behind Li Mohan, then smiled and said, "Little sister is here."

Li Mohan turned his head to look, and suddenly his eyes lit up.A girl wearing a school uniform from the period of the Republic of China, with sharp shoulders, a slender waist, not too tall, and a small face, with snowy skin, thin willow-leaf eyebrows, and eyes that are as agile as spring water, pure as Danfeng eyes of the lake.Although this girl is plain and does not wear makeup, but the hibiscus comes out of the clear water, and she is naturally beautiful.

"Cough~!" Shang Yifu cleared his cough, stood between Li Mohan and that girl, and blocked Li Mohan's unscrupulous gaze without fear. "Yunzhi~ It's just in time for you to come, and my second brother introduced you. This is General Li Mohan, Major General Li Mohan, the Army Guard of Eastern Yudong."

"Oh? Really?" Shang Yunzhi was very bold. With her hands behind her back, she hopped around her second brother Shang Yifu and stood directly in front of Li Mohan. She also stared at Li Mohan with bold eyes.

"General Li, hello. My name is Shang Yunzhi~" Shang Yunzhi extended her right hand generously.

"Hello, my name is Li Mohan." Li Mohan straightened her chest and retracted her stomach, then lightly grasped Shang Yunzhi's jade hand, the snow-white hand was soft and slippery.If it wasn't for Shang Yifu's presence, Li Mohan didn't plan to let go.Li Mohan bent down and kissed Shang Yunzhi's little hand lightly.

Shang Yifu was stunned, but he didn't feel like having a seizure.

But Shang Yunzhi giggled and said, "I heard that our parent officer in Shangqiu is a foreign student studying abroad, and he is indeed full of foreign style." After finishing speaking, he pulled his hand hard from the big bad wolf's paw go back.

Shang Yifu coughed again, and said to Shang Yunzhi: "Yunzhi, I hired a rickshaw to take you back. I still have to wait for your third brother. You should go home first."

Li Mohan smiled and said, "Shaw, anyway, I have a car, let's go together."

Shang Yifu hurriedly said: "How dare you work hard, I still have to wait for my third brother here!"

But Shang Yunzhi smiled and said to Shang Yifu: "Brother, just wait, I want to take a car." After finishing speaking, she stood beside the Ford car unceremoniously.

Li Mohan hurriedly opened the car door, and Shang Yunzhi sat in generously. Shang Yunzhi rolled down the window and said to Shang Yifu: "Then, second brother, see you at home."

Li Mohan also got into the car, and he said to the driver: "Send Miss Shang home first."

Didi, beep, beep, the car smoked away, leaving Shang Yifu shaking his head on the platform, "I really shouldn't be sending him to Beijing to study, his heart is wild, and there are no rules~ What's wrong with that?" .”

Shang Yifu was shaking his head when a young man dressed as a soldier shouted from afar, "Second Brother, Second Brother."

Shang Yifu saw that it was Shang Jinghuan, the third younger brother, "You are back~!" Shang Yifu looked at his younger brother happily, "You are taller and thinner."

Shang Jinghuan looked around and asked, "Where's Yunzhi?"

Shang Yifu shook his head and said, "Go home first, and tell you slowly."

So the two brothers hired a rickshaw and went to Shangfu.As soon as he arrived at the door, he saw Li Mohan's black car parked in front of the house.Li Mohan and Shang Yunzhi got out of the car one after the other, and after the two exchanged a few words, Li Mohan unceremoniously wanted to kiss the back of Shang Yunzhi's hand again.

"Dengtuzi~" Shang Jinghuan doted on his younger sister since he was a child, and when he saw this scene, he jumped off the rickshaw and rushed towards Li Mohan like a leopard, trying to grab the back of his neck.

"No~" Shang Yifu hurriedly shouted

On the other side, Shang Yunzhi also screamed

It was too late, and then it was too late, and Shang Jinghuan's hand was about to grab Li Mohan's collar, but Li Mohan seemed to have eyes behind his back, and his figure flashed, allowing Shang Jinghuan to catch him.At the same time, I saw Li Mohan lightly stretching his ape arms, twisting his wolf's waist, and made a beautiful grapple movement, using his anti-joint to control Shang Jinghuan.At the same time, Li Mohan swept his right leg, pushed with both hands, and threw Shang Jinghuan out of the sky.

Shang Jinghuan rolled several times on the ground and stopped, making dust all over his body and face.Just as he was about to get up, he saw a flash of a figure, and Li Mohan had already come to him. At the same time, his temple felt cold, and a pistol had already pressed his head.

"You are?" Li Mohan looked at his attire as a student soldier, and saw Shang Yifu running quickly beside him, and he already guessed who he was. "Are you Shang Jinghuan, the young master of the Shang family?"

"Where are you from, since you know I'm the young master of the Shang family, how dare you belittle my sister?" Shang Jinghuan poked his neck

"Bastard, this is Li Mohan, General Li, the envoy of Eastern Yudong. Why don't you apologize to General Li soon?" Shang Yifu held Shang Jinghuan down

"Eh?" Shang Jinghuan was stunned, but he still said: "But even the guardian envoy, you can't flirt with good women in broad daylight."

Shang Yifu gave him a hard twist on the back, and cursed: "Nonsense, what nonsense are you talking about?"

"I didn't~" Shang Jinghuan wanted to say more, but he saw his younger sister Shang Yunzhi walking down the steps jokingly, making a face at herself, then hid behind Li Mohan, and said with a chuckle: "Third brother fell to death!" Earth turtle ~ hee hee."

Shang Jinghuan was not stupid, he soon understood, and could not help but secretly groaned in his heart, he hurriedly lowered his head and bowed to Li Mohan, and said: "I don't know Taishan with my eyes, General Li, please make amends."

Li Mohan was also a little embarrassed, so he smiled and said: "My brother is eager to protect my sister, this is human nature, it's okay, it's okay."

Everyone laughed, and after a few polite words, Li Mohan left in the car.

In the evening, at the family banquet in Shang's mansion, after Master Shang heard about this, he did not stop training Shang Yunzhi.But Shang Yunzhi didn't pay attention to that at all, she just put her arms around Mrs. Shang and acted like a baby.

Mrs. Shang said: "I heard that Li Mohan and General Li didn't marry a real wife, and how can our Xiaozhi not be worthy of him? If this is true, who would dare to provoke our Shang family? Besides, our Xiaohuan To become the eldest uncle of Brigadier Li, at least to be a battalion commander, regimental commander, etc. is not just a matter of words?"

Master Shang straightened his face and said: "Nonsense, our Shang family is a scholarly family, do we want to exchange our daughter for wealth? I am afraid that she will not know how to love herself and let others look down on her! When the time comes, people will turn their backs and refuse to admit it. Wouldn't it be a chicken and an egg?" ?”

Shang Jinghuan also shook his head and said, "Mother, I want to rely on my real skills, not nepotism."

Shang Yunzhi seemed to have been greatly insulted, "Am I such a person?" After saying that, she tossed the bowl and chopsticks and went back to her room

Mrs. Shang felt sorry for her daughter, and hurriedly chased after her. Before leaving, she did not forget to curse: "You old man, do you ever say that about your daughter?"
