The staff member's surname is Shen, and his given name is Shen Yaorong. He is the third oldest in the family.
Shen Yaorong was a scholar in the former Qing Dynasty. Unfortunately, the imperial examination system was abolished before he had time to take the examination for scholars. He could only make a living by teaching in the village school, barely making ends meet, and could not even get a wife.
Until 1918, that is, eight years ago, Zhang Zongchang's troops were dispersed by Chen Guangyuan, and his general Chu Yupu fled to the northeast with his remaining soldiers to join Zhang Zuolin.
At that time, Chu Yupu was just a lost dog, and the army around him was less than 200 people. But to the poor teacher Shen Yaorong, Chu Yupu was a big leg, and he volunteered to work as a staff member, and finally made a living.
Relying on his cleverness, Shen Yaorong came up with a few clever ideas, and was quickly reused, and he lived smoothly under Chu Yupu. However, as Chu Yupu gradually grew bigger, Shen Yaorong's abilities were not enough, and he actually became a helper from the army staff.
Now his biggest role is to find women for Marshal Chu to have fun with.
However, Shen Yaorong often boasted of Wang Zuo's talents and believed that he fell out of favor because he and Chu Yupu were not from the same hometown, so he held back his resentment.
Especially a few days ago, Gao Enpu from Gao Village, Wenshang County came to seek refuge. Just because he was close to Chu Yupu's natal family, he was transformed from a rich country man to a member of the Shandong Provincial Council.
This is simply unreasonable!
Shen Yaorong is so envious and jealous. I wish my mother had given him birth to the wrong place. It would have been better if he had been born in Wenshang County.
After carefully arranging his gown, Shen Yaorong said to Zhou Hexuan: "It's best to be honest when you meet the commander-in-chief!"
Seeing that there was no one around, Zhou Hexuan stuffed the remaining 30 silver coins into Shen Yaorong's hand, and tried to curry favor by saying: "Master Shen, you are a popular person in front of the commander, please take good care of him in the future."
"Well, you still have some sharp eyesight." Shen Yaorong weighed the ocean in his hand and put it away with great pleasure. He no longer cared about Zhou Hexuan's previous nonsense. His monthly salary was only a little over 20 yuan.
He doesn't get the extra money he wants, and his biggest income is these filial piety money.
Not long after, Chu Yupu's adjutant came over and said, "Go in, the commander is waiting."
Zhou Hexuan respectfully saluted the adjutant with clasped fists, but Shen Yaorong held his head high and held his chest high. He considered himself a veteran and looked down on the adjutant who had only joined the army two years ago.
Shen Yaorong arrogantly led Zhou Hexuan in. The moment he saw Chu Yupu, the master seemed to have practiced bone-shrinking skills and became a foot shorter out of thin air. He nodded and bowed and said: "Commander, I brought Jin Yong.
"
Zhou Hexuan was just the opposite. He kept a very low profile in front of soldiers, adjutants and masters. But after meeting Chu Yupu, he straightened his back and looked like an upright scholar.
The reason for this is very simple, because last night he specifically asked Li Shoumin about Chu Yupu's personality. After all, he was the actual ruler of Tianjin. Zhou Hexuan had to prepare for a rainy day, but he didn't expect to use it so quickly.
Marshal Chu had been educated for several years. When the Great Revolution broke out, he went to the military academy. Unfortunately, his educational level was so poor that he failed the exams twice in a row. The whole family even became a beggar. The Chu family finally managed to cultivate land by Weishan Lake.
It was harvest time for a few acres of wasteland, and local tyrants and bullies came and took away all the crops and land.
It was under such circumstances that Chu Yupu became a bandit. He colluded with the local gentry and got money to buy guns. The number of his men quickly grew to 3,000. Later, he became a distant relative of Chen Qimei and successfully joined the Revolutionary Party and became a member of the Revolutionary Party.
The cavalry company commander under Zhang Zongchang.
Although this gentleman was uneducated and did not know a few Chinese characters, he had great respect for the gentry and literati.
As long as Zhou Hexuan shows the demeanor of a scholar, acts awesome and coaxing, and flatters a few words at critical moments, he will definitely win Chu Yupu's favor.
"Are you Jin Yong?" Chu Yupu sat on the sofa with his eyes straight and looked Zhou Hexuan up and down.
Zhou Hexuan was also observing Chu Yupu, and found that this guy was actually a short man, standing tall at 1.6 meters tall. However, although he was short, he had a gangster air all over his body, and he looked like the kind of master who would kill without blinking an eye.
"My name is Zhou Hexuan, and Jin Yong is my pen name." Zhou Hexuan replied in a neither humble nor overbearing tone.
Chu Yupu waved her hand and asked Shen Yaorong to step back, then asked: "Where are you from?"
"People from Zhili." Zhou Hexuan said.
Chu Yupu was a little disappointed after hearing this. In his eyes, only people from Shandong are heroes, and people from Wenshang are the best among heroes. He asked again: "Have you ever been abroad?"
Zhou Hexuan raised his head and replied: "I grew up in Nanyang. I spent ten years traveling around Europe and the United States. In the past few years, I visited Japan, even the Soviet Union, and Australia. I am familiar with English, French, Japanese, German, Russian, and Italian.
Six languages.”
After this awesome boast, Chu Yupu finally became interested and asked, "Why can't you speak American?"
"Uh..." Zhou Hexuan didn't know what to say.
"What the hell?" Chu Yupu said unhappily, "You scholars always hide your words behind the scenes, which is not helpful at all."
Zhou Hexuan sweated furiously and said: "Commander Bing, these American words are British words."
"Fart, the United States is the United States, and the United Kingdom is the United Kingdom. How can Americans speak British? You think I'm being fooled!" Chu Yupu slapped the sofa angrily.
Zhou Hexuan could only explain: "Commander, the United States was a colony of the British more than a hundred years ago, so they speak English."
Chu Yupu smacked his lips: "It seems that is the case."
Zhou Hexuan did not dare to show off his reputation as a scholar. He was afraid that the commander-in-chief would not understand the secret and flattered him: "The commander-in-chief is wise."
Chu Yupu dug his forehead with his fingers, and suddenly had a new idea: "Since you can speak so many languages, you can stay with me as a foreign language secretary from now on." He cursed, "His grandma is a bear, last time I saw her
Marshal Zhang, he has three secretaries with him, a Chinese secretary, an English secretary, and a French secretary. Now I am also a commander-in-chief. The well-known governor of Zhili Province has to have a few foreign-language secretaries to cover his appearance.
.”
Chu Yupu is an upstart among the warlords. He became the commander of the army the year before last due to his military exploits. This year he served as the commander-in-chief of the former enemy in the First Army of the Zhili-Shandong Allied Forces. He led his troops to conquer Pingjin and finally had his own territory - Zhili Province. He is now proud of his success.
, he didn’t even take his old boss Zhang Zongchang seriously, and imitated Zhang Zuolin and his son in everything, such as this foreign language secretary.
Zhou Hexuan really didn't want to follow this useless commander, and he didn't even know if he would be shot to death one day. He declined and said: "Commander, I'm used to having a leisurely life, I'm afraid..."
"Bang!"
Chu Yupu stood up, kicked the stool over, pulled out the gun from his waist and said, "If you don't want to do it, you have to do it, otherwise I will shoot you!"
Nima than!
Zhou Hexuan raised his middle finger in his heart and said with a wry smile: "Okay, let the commander alone make the decision."
Chu Yupu then sat back, leaned on the sofa and said, "Just agree. From now on, you will hang out with me. I guarantee you will be popular and drink spicy food. By the way, go and write the scenes behind "The Legend of the Condor Heroes"
, I’m still waiting to hear it tomorrow.”
Zhou Hexuan regrets that. You must not show off as a person. If you show off, you will definitely be struck by lightning. If he didn't brag about his proficiency in multiple languages, he would never have been left as a foreign language secretary. At most, he could write "The Legend of the Condor Heroes"
