Ma Yong's adjutant, whose surname is Dong, is younger than Ma Yong and has been with him for more than ten years.
After all, Adjutant Dong is still a distant relative of Ma Yong's hometown.
Publicly and privately, Adjutant Dong hopes that Ma Yong can live a better life.
"Commander, this is a good marriage."
The daughter of a textile manufacturer has drunk foreign ink, can speak foreign languages, and can have some friendship with foreigners.
And those of them who are soldiers are very jealous of those foreign adults.
In addition to being relatively powerful, you can also buy weapons and medicines through foreigners.
It is definitely for the good of the commander that the military governor can propose such a marriage to his commander.
It's not in vain that his commander is loyal to the governor.
"A good marriage? Haha, not necessarily!"
Ma Yong is not as optimistic as Adjutant Dong.
He is indeed uneducated, but he is self-aware.
He is thirty-six years old, tall, dark-skinned, tall and thick-set.
He looks like a Zhou Zheng at most, but he is still illiterate.
Counting up my family, I have been a poor person for several lifetimes.
Apart from being able to fight and having a thousand guns in his hand, he has no other strengths.
She is a girl from a wealthy family, and she is a foreign student who has studied abroad. She is quite old and looks good, so why should she marry him?
I'm just afraid that there is something wrong with this young lady.
Even if there are no shortcomings, she will look down on her if she reluctantly marries him.
He would rather not marry such an aunt and have his little ancestor come back to provide for her!
Inexplicably, a red and swollen pig-headed face flashed in Ma Yong's mind.
By the way, Ma Yong thinks this Ms. Gu suits him more.
They are all second marriages, and they are not from wealthy families.
But people are smart and literate. The key is that they don't look down on themselves.
As a warrior who leads troops in battle, Ma Yong has an intuition as precise as a beast.
He has a feeling whether others are kind or malicious towards him, whether they are being hypocritical and conciliatory, or whether they are treating him sincerely.
That Mr. Gu has a scholarly air, but he doesn't have the false aloofness or seriousness of a rotten scholar.
... Ma Yong couldn't describe it, he just felt that Mr. Gu was the kind of truly noble scholar!
"Commander, you are right!"
After listening to Ma Yong's words, Adjutant Dong pondered for a moment.
He glanced at Ma Yong's expression and said cautiously, "To be honest with you, Commander, after receiving the telegram from the warlord, I quietly called a few brothers in the provincial capital to inquire."
Ma Yong raised his eyebrows.
Seeing Adjutant Dong's hesitant look, he had reason to suspect that there was indeed something wrong with the young lady introduced to him by the warlord.
"Mom, you're a bitch, just let it go. How can you stand in front of me?"
Ma Yong was the most relaxed in front of him. He opened his mouth and cursed a few words.
Listening to Ma Yong scolding himself, Adjutant Dong became more relaxed.
He knew his commander too well.
The commander scolded him for treating him like one of his own family members.
If the commander kicks him, he will be even happier, because the commander treats him as a brother.
"Hey, you can't hide anything from the commander."
Adjutant Dong licked his face and laughed a few times, then he leaned into Ma Yong's ear and lowered his voice and said, "Brothers in the provincial capital said that the daughter of the Chen family is the daughter of my wife."
Ma Yong understood, oh, she turned out to be a concubine.
Calculating my age, when I gave birth to this child, I was still in the Qing Dynasty.
The status of concubines and concubines was not high.
"My wife also has a biological daughter. The serious master who went to study in the country where the sun never sets was also the legitimate daughter."
"My wife was worried, so she asked Miss Chen to follow her."
Adjutant Dong put it more tactfully.
Ma Yong understood it.
Haha, what kind of foreign students studying abroad?
In fact, she is just a girl who accompanies the young lady to study.
Saying this to the outside world now is just to raise the status of Miss Chen.
Ma Yong estimated that with the Chen family's behavior, Miss Chen would not be able to study seriously if she went to the country where the sun never sets.
In ancient times, this was just a companion piece.
Serving others is the main thing, and learning is secondary.
A smart person might take the opportunity to learn more.
But for those who are more stupid, they may have just traveled around a foreign country and may not even know where the foreign schools are.
"As for Miss Chen, she can speak some foreign languages. Her legitimate sister married a young governor and gave her half of the textile factory as a dowry."
"The Governor is very satisfied with the Chen family. I happened to hear that there is such a sister in the family. She looks pretty decent, mainly because she is of the right age, so I would like to introduce her to you."
Adjutant Dong continued to chirp.
Ma Yong frowned slightly when he heard this.
Looks passable?
Tsk tsk, my mother is a concubine who serves people with sex, but my daughter is mediocre in appearance.
And at this age——
Yes, she is the elder sister. She must have been relatively older when she was chosen by the wife of the family to accompany her legitimate daughter to study abroad.
After all, you are too young to take care of yourself, how can you serve others?
The young governor is twenty years old this year, and his wife should be about the same age.
It can be deduced from this that the Miss Chen who accompanied me was in her twenties at least.
At such an age, in this era, she would be considered an older leftover girl.
No wonder the Chen family is willing to marry her to a big boss like themselves.
"...After all, it's the warlord's will."
Ma Yong has weighed this matter several times in his mind.
He decided to go take a look first.
Not to mention anything else, just having studied abroad and being able to speak foreign languages made Ma Yong's heart flutter.
As Ma Yong became the commander, he also raised a team himself.
It is easy to recruit troops and raise military salaries, but the issue of weapons is troublesome.
This time he made a lot of money in this small county, enough for him to buy hundreds more guns.
It's a pity that he doesn't know foreigners and can only buy it through the warlord.
On the surface, he calls the warlord "big brother, big brother, short brother" every day, and the warlord is kind to him.
The two looked like brothers.
But in fact, the warlord has always been a person who "favours are favors, and business is business."
You can buy weapons through the warlord, but you must give benefits to the warlord.
After taking one pass, Ma Yongshao said that he would lose 23% of the money.
Just like that, Ma Yong still wants to remember the favor of the warlord——
If you are not a "brother" and you give others benefits, they may not be willing to help.
These days, if you have a gun in your hand, you are a master.
And the one who can get weapons is the uncle.
Ma Yong also wants to be an uncle. He dreams of establishing good relations with those foreigners.
It's a pity that he can't even understand the allusions to planting flowers, let alone the chirping of birds.
If there was a virtuous housekeeper who was proficient in foreign languages——
Ma Yong was moved.
However, Ma Yong still retains his sense and will not be easily carried away.
"Take a look! Let's take a closer look when we return to the provincial capital!"
Ma Yong scratched his head and said to himself.
…
The next day, eight o'clock in the morning.
Gu Qingcheng dragged her luggage and her fat son to the county train station early.
The train station is not big and the buildings are simple, just a row of small bungalows.
There are several rows of wooden chairs in the hall, and some passengers wearing robes or dresses are sitting on the chairs waiting for departure.
Gu Qingcheng observed carefully, and she found that most of the passengers were men.
Whether wearing a gown or a dress, they all had their braids cut off.
Among the group of male passengers, there were also a few women.
These women look less confident and confident than men.
They hold their breasts and their backs are hunched, and they look timid.
Like an accessory, he followed the man submissively.
Of course, there are also a few foreign students wearing blue clothes and black skirts.
They appear much more confident.
Some had their hair cut short to the ears, while others wore two braids.
Fresh clothes, snow-white stockings.
Some wore black cloth shoes, while others wore shiny leather shoes.
Gu Qingcheng has been in this world for a few days. She is busy reading and reading newspapers every day. When she goes to church to study, she also deliberately observes her surroundings.
Therefore, she already has a preliminary understanding of this new world.
He is no longer surprised by anything he sees that is different from what he knows.
She slowly accepted it and began to understand and enjoy it from her own perspective.
"In this era, although there are still restrictions on women, they have also made a lot of progress."
Gu Qingcheng used his consciousness to chat with Huoshui.
"That's right. In the Republic of China, not only the people's consciousness was awakening, but women were also breaking out of their shackles step by step, awakening and liberating themselves."
"Have you ever heard of Jianhu Heroine? She was the first person to awaken women."
"She was also a lady from an official family, but she dared to go out and ultimately gave her life for her beliefs."
Huoshui, the artificial intelligence, has very rich knowledge stored in the CPU.
Perhaps it was because Gu Qingcheng had entered the era of the Republic of China, and he would not be as cautious as he was in the ancient world.
Lest he say the wrong thing, he lets the clever Gu Qingcheng spy on the secret that transcends time and space.
Now, it is much calmer.
Because of the restrictions imposed by the system, even if Gu Qingcheng had lived in the world of the Republic of China, she could only extract one skill that belonged to this era.
Others, even if she has personally experienced the world and studied it carefully, will be forcibly "diluted" by the system.
She would only remember that she had been to a very mysterious world, but she could not remember clearly what the world was like.
This is the protection of the real world that Gu Qingcheng comes from.
Don't be too indulgent, otherwise with Gu Qingcheng's intelligence and ambition, she will come up with too many advanced things.
By then it will no longer be a butterfly effect, but the tsunami of the century.
If one thing is not done well, then the good time and space will be ruined!
The system will never allow this to happen.
Therefore, many restrictions could only be imposed on Gu Qingcheng.
With the limitations of the main system, Huoshui felt relieved and could let go and discuss some issues of this era with Gu Qingcheng.
"Jianhu Heroine?"
Gu Qingcheng had vaguely seen it in the newspaper.
However, the newspapers did not report much, and Gu Qingcheng only remembered such a name.
Through Huoshui's popular science, Gu Qingcheng learned about this man's deeds in detail.
It turns out that not only can women go out, but they can also start their own careers just like men.
Gu Qingcheng is not a dodder who only relies on men.
But in the era she lived in, women were subordinate to men.
Gu Qingcheng can only realize his ambitions through men.
Now, times have changed, and Gu Qingcheng's heart has also moved...
