There are only eight plates of dishes on the table, and they all taste home-cooked, which is completely different from those in restaurants. It's not bad to eat occasionally.
"Children, even if you eat, there is not much food, but you still have enough to eat. I am not like some people, who go all out to invite people to eat without letting them be full." Chen Bijun said with chopsticks.
Everyone laughed secretly, knowing that she was mocking Mr. Jiang.
When Mr. Jiang was studying at the Army Noncommissioned Officer School in Japan, he accepted the Japanese philosophy, which believed that people can only eat half full, or at most 70% full, in order to be healthy and to keep the body colder, so he wore
There are very few clothes.
These are completely different from the Chinese people's concept of health care. However, Japanese people rarely have fat people, which is also caused by this kind of living habits, so it cannot be said that there are no advantages at all.
Of course, it is a supreme honor for anyone to have dinner with Mr. Chiang Kai-shek. However, those who go to the banquet must ask their family members to leave a table of good food for them.
pause.
Chen Bijun mocked Mr. Jiang for picking at Suosuo, but he was deliberately trying to eliminate him. Mr. Jiang was a revolutionary leader no matter what, and he was not short of money, so he wouldn't have to pick at Suosuo even if he wanted to treat him to a meal.
During the meal, Mr. Wang asked Lu Ming: "The Military Justice Department hasn't given you any more trouble, has it?"
"They didn't. They just left me hanging there and didn't care." Lu Ming said with a bitter smile.
"Lao Jiang hasn't talked to you now?" Mr. Wang frowned.
"No. They have sent extra personnel to keep an eye on me. I basically don't go out now." Lu Ming said truthfully.
"It's really outrageous. They arrest people for no reason, and then neither try them nor release them. They don't even give an explanation." Mr. Wang said coldly.
"Fourth brother, can't you ask the Military Law Office to release him directly?" Chen Bijun said.
"It's difficult. After all, he is the chairman of the Military Committee, and I am the deputy. Besides, the Military Justice Department is also acting under orders in this matter, and they have no right to release him." Mr. Wang sighed.
"By the way, son, did they pay for your expenses at the Jinling Hotel?" Chen Bijun suddenly thought of this and asked Lu Ming.
"Well, the hotel owner told me that the Military Justice Department said it would settle the bill there first, and they don't have the budget for this expenditure at the moment." Lu Ming said hesitantly.
"Dean Wang, we don't want them to pay this money, but we can't always detain people without reason. Isn't this a legal society?" Sheng Muyi couldn't help but say.
"This man is a gangster. All the comrades in the party were blinded, and they actually elected him as the chairman of the Military Commission." Chen Bijun cursed.
"He now has military power and is fully fledged. If we old comrades hadn't been here, he would have become a dictator." Mr. Wang said while holding a wine glass.
"Humph, he really wants to be a dictator. With Fourth Brother here, he can't even think about achieving his goal. Didn't Mr. Jing just oppose his dictatorship and he put it aside and idle? Mr. Jing is his great benefactor and the leader of the revolution. He is ungrateful.
Guy." Chen Bijun said.
"I think it was because of him that Lao Sheng was unwilling to join the government. Lao Sheng was probably the first among us to see through this guy's true colors," Mr. Wang said.
"If Lao Sheng had joined our camp, the chairman of the military committee would have been the fourth brother, and my son would not have been imprisoned here for no reason. It's all because Lao Sheng is too aloof." Chen Bijun complained.
Lu Ming and Mu Yi could only listen. They couldn't understand this kind of thing, and they couldn't interrupt. They were too far away from this level.
These people are all people who directly control the lifeblood of the country. Any decision they make will have a decisive impact on where the country will go in the future.
"If he really causes trouble for you in the future, you can call my office directly and I will come and talk to him. What he did is too much and I can't stand it," said Mr. Wang.
Lu Ming could only nod.
Of course, he would not be really stupid enough to let Mr. Wang come out to support him. That would be to stand directly on the opposite side of Mr. Jiang, and then wait for Mr. Jiang to deal with him.
He is just a small person, and he must not participate in the fights of these big people. Otherwise, he will be the first to die, and even his shadow will not be found after he dies.
After the meal, Mr. Wang called a photographer, and then everyone took a group photo. Mr. Wang and his wife sat in front, and Lu Ming and Mu Yi stood behind. People who didn’t know the inside story would definitely think that this was a group photo.
Zhang family portrait.
Then Mr. Wang took a photo with Lu Ming alone, and Chen Bijun, Sheng Muyi, Yuan Ziyuan, and Yuan Mingzhu also took a photo.
After taking the photo, Chen Bijun took Yuan Mingzhu aside to talk alone.
"You are Lu Ming's fiancée, right? This little appearance is a perfect match for my son." Chen Bijun held Yuan Mingzhu's hand with both hands and looked at him lovingly.
"Well, my parents have arranged a marriage at home..." Yuan Mingzhu lowered her head and said shyly.
"A man wants to do great things, so you have to let him go. But if he dares to bully you, just tell me and I will teach him a lesson." Chen Bijun acted like a "mother-in-law".
"Well, I listen to you. If he bullies me, I will come to you to complain." Yuan Mingzhu followed the other person's words obediently.
"Yes, yes, come to me if you have anything to do. But Lu Ming is a good boy and will be very successful in the future. The fourth brother is also very passionate about love. By the way, when are you going to get married?" Chen Bijun asked.
"Well, we plan to do it in the second half of the year. The specific date has not been determined yet, probably by the end of the year at the latest." Yuan Mingzhu said.
"How about letting Fourth Brother be your witness?" Chen Bijun said without losing any opportunity.
"Uh, well, it seems that the family has already invited Uncle Sheng..." Yuan Mingzhu knew that Lu Ming would definitely not be willing, so she immediately lied.
In fact, it is not a lie. According to normal circumstances, the most suitable candidate for their marriage witness is Sheng Youde. Of course, with General Wenbai, it will be even more perfect. This is a story later.
Afterwards, Yuan Mingzhu told Lu Ming that she had lied and rejected Chen Bijun's proposal. Lu Ming laughed and praised Mingzhu for being smart.
A few people sat drinking tea and chatting for a while. Lu Ming and Sheng Muyi stood up to say goodbye, saying that they would not affect Mr. Wang's rest.
Chen Bijun agreed. Mr. Wang's physical strength now is incomparable with that of his youth, and his daily rest time is getting longer and longer.
Mr. Wang asked the attendant to drive Lu Ming and the four back to Jinling Hotel.
As soon as they returned to the top floor, the four of them let out a long breath.
"My mother, you almost choked me to death." Yuan Ziyuan said exaggeratedly, covering her chest.
"I'm also panicking. Is this eating or suffering?" Yuan Mingzhu also said.
Although Mr. Wang and Chen Bijun treated them very affectionately and did not have the airs of revolutionary leaders, they still felt that they did not dare to breathe and did not say a few words.
Because Sheng Muyi was very familiar with Mr. Wang and his wife, she didn't feel this depressed. However, she was influenced by her father and didn't like the couple's behavior, so she didn't feel happy either.
Lu Ming was used to it, and he didn't feel uncomfortable after enduring it. Last time, he packed his bags quickly after coming back and fled Nanjing the next morning.
"This old witch is so unreasonable. She insists on taking Lu Ming as her godson. This won't work. I have to ask my father to argue with her when I get back." Sheng Muyi said angrily.
"Forget it, just let her take advantage and don't let me conflict with her. My godson is only in Wang's Mansion. It doesn't matter if I leave Wang's Mansion." Lu Ming said with a bitter smile.
Lu Ming knew that Mrs. Wang was famous for being tough in the party and dared to point her nose in Mr. Jiang's face and yell at her. Mr. Jiang could only stamp his feet and call her a shrew, and then he hid as far away as possible.
"How can this be done? He can't let him take advantage of this, otherwise Mingzhu will become her goddaughter-in-law." Yuan Ziyuan gave up.
Yuan Mingzhu snickered there, but didn't say a word.
"Otherwise, what else can we do? Forget it, just try not to see her in the future." Lu Ming said with a headache.
After thinking about it, Sheng Muyi could only listen to Lu Ming. She didn't want her father to quarrel with a shrew over such a trivial matter. If they quarreled, they really couldn't quarrel with her.
Anyway, Lu Ming didn't agree to be her godson, so he just called her Madam. If she likes to talk, just talk.
"Did everyone not eat well?" Lu Ming asked.
"Does this need to be said?" Yuan Ziyuan rolled her eyes at him.
"Then go down and continue eating."
Several people went down to the second floor, ordered a sumptuous banquet and started eating and drinking.
There are indeed a lot of dishes prepared by Mr. Wang, but who dares to eat too much, especially Sheng Muyi, Yuan Ziyuan, and Yuan Mingzhu have to pretend to be ladies and eat the dishes leaf by leaf. They can't wait to count the meals.
Eat it with grains of rice. Cats won’t be full this way.
Of course, Mr. Wang invites you to dinner, which is an honor in itself. What you invite to eat is no longer important. Even if it is just a plate of scrambled eggs, it is still an honor.
This is the same as the emperor giving banquets in the past.
The four of us ate until twelve o'clock again, eating more than we had last night.
Perhaps it was the effect of psychological compensation. They all felt even hungrier after eating Mr. Wang's family dinner tonight, and they all seemed to have become gluttons.
When they went back to their houses, Sheng Muyi told Lu Ming that she and Yuan Ziyuan planned to leave early tomorrow morning and would not say goodbye to them until he and Mingzhu returned to Shanghai to meet again.
Yuan Mingzhu hugged Sheng Muyi, held her sister's hand and whispered a few words, and said goodbye.
