"Lu Ming, why did you think of bringing me to see Han Qing today?" Sheng Muyi asked with a smile.
Sheng Muyi also drove here. After meeting up with Lu Ming, she got into Lu Ming's car. Her car followed behind her, and her bodyguards sat inside.
"Today Miss Zhao Si came from Peiping to meet Han Qing. Han Qing held a dance specifically for this purpose and invited me to attend..." Lu Ming said with a smile.
"Oh, so I am your dance partner today." Sheng Muyi blinked her angelic eyes and smiled.
"No, I don't dance. I came today because I have something to tell Brother Hanqing." Lu Ming explained.
"Then what do you mean by bringing me here?" Sheng Muyi asked with some confusion.
Lu Ming had a close relationship with the young marshal, but Sheng Muyi had much less contact with the young marshal. Maybe it was because of taboos. Sheng Youde only invited the young marshal for a meal and then never interacted with him again. Du Yuesheng and Yan Hong, on the other hand,
These big guys have close contacts with the young marshal.
Although the young marshal lost the Northeast, he was still at the top of the power of the Republic of China government. He was also the deputy commander-in-chief of the national army, Mr. Chiang's brother and deputy.
Although the actual situation is not consistent with his status, this does not affect everyone's pursuit of him.
People like Du Yuesheng and Yan Hongdao have been friends with the Young Marshal for a long time. The Young Marshal's heroic deeds made these gangs and business people admire him even more. Of course, the Young Marshal's personal achievements are far less than that of the Old Marshal, but his personal charm is better than that of the Old Marshal.
Much stronger.
"Well, it was Miss Zhao Si who suggested it. She knew you were my sister and wanted to meet you, the number one socialite in Shanghai." Lu Ming said with a smile.
"Really? This Miss Zhao Si is the number one socialite in the Republic of China. How could she know that there is such a person as me?" Sheng Muyi said as if she was self-deprecating and sarcastic.
"My reputation is no worse than Miss Zhao Si. If I had not gone to Hong Kong and gone to Northeast China...hehe." Lu Ming said with a sly smile.
"Zhao Si is romantic and Zhu Wu is crazy, the butterflies are walking in the right way, Gentle Township is the Tomb of Heroes, who cares about the Eastern Division entering Shenyang. The urgent military letter comes in the middle of the night, the opening strings and strings urge each other, Shenyang has fallen into sleep, looking back, even hugging Gillian to dance
How many times?" Sheng Muyi ignored him and chanted in a manly voice.
"Sister, let's not talk about this today, okay?" Lu Ming smiled bitterly. This was a big stain on the young marshal's life.
When the Northeast War first broke out, the young marshal was holding Zhao Si, Zhu Wu, Hu Die and other beautiful women on the brightly lit dance floor at the Liuguo Hotel in Peking.
It is said that after receiving the emergency telegram, he did not deal with it immediately, but continued to dance a few times.
After the fall of Shenyang, Ma Junwu, a famous scholar at the time, immediately wrote a poem and published it in a newspaper, satirizing the young marshal and Miss Zhao Si for having a romantic affair and ruining the country. They only pursued luxury and enjoyment and did not care about national affairs at all.
This poem by Mr. Ma Junwu is also modeled after a poem by the famous poet Li Shangyin in history.
Li Shangyin's poem satirized Gao Wei, the leader of the Northern Qi Dynasty at that time.
The country will perish with a smile, why bother with the thorns and thorns to start hurting. When Xiao Lian's jade body lay in ruins, he reported to the Zhou army that he had entered Jinyang.
Qiaoxiao knows that he has thousands of enemies, and the most beautiful thing is the military uniform. Jinyang has been captured and he looks back, and he invites the king to hunt for him.
Comparing the two poems, we can see obvious traces of imitation. Li Shangyin's poem is naturally unparalleled by future generations, but Mr. Ma Junwu's poem was more suitable for the occasion, so it was praised throughout the country at that time. The young marshal also fell into trouble because of this poem.
The lowest point in life.
Although Sheng Muyi was not influenced by this poem, she had always had a strong opinion of the young marshal because of the fall of Northeast China, and she did not have a good impression of Miss Zhao Si. Therefore, she did not care when she heard that Miss Zhao Si asked to see her by name.
I don't think there's anything to be happy about.
"Sister, you have to give the young marshal face today, especially in front of Miss Zhao Si..." Lu Ming warned with some worry.
He was afraid that Sheng Muyi would be at odds with Mai Mang after meeting Miss Zhao Si. In this case, he and the young marshal would be in trouble.
Sheng Muyi is modest on the surface, but very proud in her heart. She often says that the person she admires most is her father Sheng Youde, and the person she loves most is her younger brother Lu Ming. Except for these two people, no one else in the Republic of China is with her.
in the eyes.
It is inevitable for women, especially beautiful women, to fight with each other, and same-sex repulsion plays out vividly in them.
As for men, it is better to view their fight as mutual praise, because it comes from the heart and cannot be stopped.
"Don't worry, I have seen bigger scenes than today. No matter how big or small the scene is, I will never fail to pay attention to social etiquette." Sheng Muyi said with a smile.
"Really, sister, tell me what big scenes you have experienced..." Lu Ming became interested, and he asked this to arouse Sheng Muyi's emotions.
"I just came back from the United States that year, and you were still studying. My father took me to attend the wedding of Mr. Jiang and Miss Song Meiling. This scene was big enough." Sheng Muyi narrowed her eyes and said, as if
Recall the grand occasion of those years.
Jiang and Song's weddings were held twice, one in Christian style and the other in traditional Chinese style.
First, a Christian wedding was held at the Song family's residence on Seymour Road, Shanghai. Then, the couple went to the magnificent Dahua Hotel for a secular wedding.
"Oh, I saw photos in American newspapers at that time. The Chinese-style wedding ceremony was hosted by Mr. Cai Yuanpei, the former president of Peking University and the Minister of Education of the Nanjing government."
Lu Ming also thought of this famous wedding ceremony, which was the largest in the Republic of China.
While chatting, the car drove to Zhang's mansion. There was a young marshal's attendant guarding the door. When he saw it was Lu Ming's car, he raised his hands and saluted and let him go.
The car stopped in the yard. Lu Ming got out of the car and helped Sheng Muyi open the door. He extended his right arm to the other person and the two of them entered the mansion lobby.
Many people have come to the mansion, and the hall is bustling with people. The service staff are carrying trays among the crowd, inviting guests to drink various kinds of wine.
Lu Ming casually picked up a glass of whiskey, and Sheng Muyi followed suit with a glass of champagne. This was also a form of etiquette. On such an occasion, if you didn't hold a glass of wine in your hand, you would be an outlier who did not accept the host's hospitality.
"Oh, brother, you are here, Miss Muyi, welcome to the house." The young marshal came from the crowd with a smile and greeted Lu Ming and Sheng Muyi.
"Brother, there are many guests here today. You can go and do your work first and don't worry about us." Lu Ming said hurriedly.
At this time, a thin young woman wearing a cheongsam walked over. She was really handsome and well-mannered, which was eye-catching.
Both Lu Ming and Sheng Muyi recognized her as Miss Zhao Si, the young marshal's mistress and assistant. They had never met before, but they often saw photos of this socialite in newspapers.
"Come, let me introduce to you. This is my brother Lu Ming. This is Miss Muyi, the daughter of Duke Sheng. I don't need to introduce this one to you, right?" the young marshal laughed.
"It's brother Lu Ming. Your eldest brother has often mentioned you to me these days. I'd like to thank you for taking care of him during his time in Shanghai." Miss Zhao Si stretched out her hand to Lu Ming and said with a smile.
Lu Ming gently shook hands with her, then smiled and nodded, his expression a bit shy.
Taking care of the young marshal? How dare he.
There are people who take care of the young marshal, and there are many of them, but it is not his turn. People like Du Yuesheng and Yan Hongdao are all crowded around, not to mention important officials of the government and powerful figures in the Shanghai Municipal Government.
, he had more contacts just because of the young marshal's appreciation.
He knew his position very well. Although he was also an upstart in the Republic of China, a major general was nothing in their eyes. Zhang Hanqing was a general.
Therefore, in front of those big-shot figures, he is a junior, and everyone gives him face because there is Sheng Youde behind him.
However, it is not all like this. In the past two years, he has boldly done several extraordinary things, especially taking away the Japanese arsenal and breaking into the Japanese concession alone and killing four Japanese.
Being so bold and careful, and daring to act, he has also accumulated some reputation. At least it makes people feel that he is a young man with unlimited future.
"Han Qing, it turns out that you said Brother Lu is prettier than you. I still don't believe it. This time I saw you, you were really outclassed." Zhao Si stared at Lu Ming for a while and then shouted as if he had discovered a new world.
"Yeah, otherwise why would he be my brother? The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead, and the new ones are always better than the old ones." The young marshal laughed and patted Lu Ming's shoulder proudly.
Sheng Muyi was a little unhappy at the side. Miss Zhao Si seemed to be enthusiastic, but she was deliberately snubbing her. However, she praised Lu Ming for being prettier than the young marshal. She liked hearing this, and was even happier than praising her directly.
Sheng Muyi smiled on the side and kept looking at Lu Ming. She felt an indescribable pride in her heart. This younger brother had given her a good face.
The young marshal smiled at Miss Zhao Si and said, "Si'er, please accompany Miss Sheng. My brother and I have something to say."
After saying that, he took Lu Ming and left, leaving all the guests in the hall here.
Lu Ming also laughed. The young marshal is so willful, like a child sometimes, but no one is angry with him. Everyone is used to it, that's what his personality is.
Besides, everyone knows that the young marshal has military duties and the country is in turmoil, so sometimes it is inevitable that he cannot help himself.
The two came to the study room. The place was already full of people. Lu Ming seemed to know him at a glance. They were all the main generals of the Northeast Army, as well as the marshal's adjutants and staff officers.
"Brother, you said you have important information to tell me. What information is it?" the young marshal asked after he came to the front seat and sat down.
"I have received news from several sources, and I can now confirm that the Japanese government and military will launch a peaceful offensive against China's North China region." Lu Ming said, suppressing his smile.
