This soldier named Wang had a face with Chinese characters and a serious and meticulous expression. He turned to look at me and asked, "Are you Colonel Zhang?"
"Yeah." I scratched the back of my head in embarrassment and said, "Sorry yesterday, it was a misunderstanding."
"Needless to say." The soldier raised his hand to stop me from talking and said, "I brought Xiaomei here today specifically to apologize to you. Colonel Zhang is young and promising. He became a colonel at a young age and was arrested.
In the Demon Bureau, as long as you make meritorious service, you might have a chance to become a general."
"Thank you for the compliment." I nodded awkwardly. Of course, what the soldier said was basically just a compliment, nothing more. How many colonels are there in China? How many major generals are there?
There is a watershed between colonel and major general. The word "general" is not so easy to bear. General Dong fought in his youth and was only a major general in the end. How can it be so easy to become a major general?
"Xiaomei, apologize." The soldier shouted to Wang Chunmei next to him.
Wang Chunmei glared at me and Zhao Shanyu, obviously reluctant, but she still said, "I'm sorry."
General Dong Lao said with a smile: "Okay, since you apologized, it will be fine. Xiao Wang, go to the kitchen to cook some food. You will have dinner at my house today."
"Yes, Uncle Dong." Seeing Wang Chunmei's apology, the soldier also laughed, stood up and walked to the kitchen.
"General Dong, um, I brought some gifts for you." After saying that, I took out the gift box.
"Oh." General Dong raised his eyebrows, while Wang Chunmei, who was sitting next to General Dong, frowned and said, "Grandpa Dong doesn't need you to give gifts, and Grandpa Dong doesn't like what you give."
When I heard what Wang Chunmei said, I felt unhappy. I gave something to General Dong, not to you.
It's true that Wang Chunmei was pampered and raised. Anyone with a little bit of brains can see that her father had this attitude towards us just now. Even if he didn't like me and Zhao Shanyu, he wouldn't be so obvious about it.
.
"Let me see what you gave me." Dongxie took the gift box with a smile, opened it and asked, "What is this?"
As he said that, Dongxie took out the Sanqing Health Talisman from the box.
When Wang Chunmei saw that it was a talisman, she quickly said: "Hey, I thought it was something. It's this kind of broken talisman that I took. There are as many stalls on the street as you can get."
"No, no, grandpa, do you think this talisman is the one hanging in General Li's house when you and I went to Beijing last time?" Dongxie said and handed over the talisman.
Mr. Dong was still casual at first, but when he heard Dong Xie's words, he became interested. He took the talisman and looked at it, and he laughed: "Haha, Fengzi, this is the Sanqing health talisman, right?"
"Hey, Mr. Dong knows this?" I nodded.
"How could I not know? The General Li Xiaodong mentioned just now is my former comrade-in-arms. Now he has become a lieutenant general. Somehow he got lucky and asked Master Shangguan to draw a health charm for him. Every time he has
When guests come to his home, he has to brag about it for a long time." Mr. Dong took the talisman and obviously couldn't put it down.
I nodded beside me.
Although the Sanqing health-preserving talisman does not have any function of catching ghosts and eliminating demons, it is definitely a very advanced talisman. Most people cannot draw it at all. I only learned this talisman from the "Mountain" book. This kind of talisman is not about catching ghosts.
The talisman is originally a deviant, but it also has the function of nourishing the body.
The average Mr. Yin Yang doesn't have too many ghost-catching charms, let alone such high-level health-preserving charms. Even those in Maoshan probably don't know much about it, and those who do know are too lazy to draw such charms as gifts.
These officials may not be able to draw even if others ask for them.
Maintaining one's health is one aspect, but the main thing is having face.
These old generals who have fought in wars have seen too much money, gold, and jewelry. Money is not very important to them in their seventies or eighties, and it has no meaning in bragging, but this kind of talisman is different.
I thought about it and said, "I had planned to come to visit Mr. Dong before, so I specially asked the head of Maoshan, the head of Li Shigao, to draw it. I hope the old man likes it."
The old man who was originally happy, when he heard that it was painted by the head of Maoshan himself, he said: "Okay, okay"
Of course, this was just to make Mr. Dong happy, so I said it was painted by Old Man Li. I wanted to use Old Man Li's reputation, and with my relationship with him, he wouldn't say anything.
"Xiaodong, go out and find someone to make a photo frame, hang this talisman for me, dismantle the eagle picture for me, and hang this talisman." Mr. Dong was so happy that he even cursed.
In fact, all the generals who fought in the past were like this. They couldn't talk clearly. When the wars were fierce in the past, everyone would call their father or mother. Even if they were educated and educated people who had been in the army for two years, they would say swear words smoothly.
"Old man, if you wear this talisman with you, it will be good for your health." I said with a smile.
Wang Chunmei, who had previously said that the things I sent were of no use, now looked at the happy General Dong with a dark face, and muttered: "What's so great about it? I'll ask my grandfather to find someone to draw one as soon as possible."
Mr. Dong smiled and said: "How can Lao Wang have such a treasure? Haha, go back and tell your grandpa and ask him to come to my house if he has nothing to do. I will have a good chat with him about the origin of this talisman, haha."
Seeing Mr. Dong happy makes me feel quite comfortable.
"Uncle Dong, why are you so happy?" The soldier who was still cooking inside came out and asked with a smile.
Wang Chunmei walked up and explained the matter. The soldier looked at me a little differently and said with a smile: "You are young and promising, and you are actually friends with the leader of Maoshan. Brother Zhang, let's have two more drinks later."
.”
After Mr. Dong was happy, he coughed twice and asked Dong Xie to put the talisman in place. Then he looked at Zhao Shanyu next to me and asked: "Xiao Feng, this is your girlfriend, the one who took Xiao Wang's cousin yesterday."
Someone who gave me a beating?"
"Cousin Xiao Wang?" I realized then that the person who came yesterday was the cousin of Wang Chunmei's father. I quickly shook my head and said, "No, I just had a few casual exchanges."
"An officer in our army can't even beat a woman." Mr. Dong said, squinting his eyes at Zhao Shanyu and saying, "But your girlfriend has a murderous aura, which is not easy."
"Murderous?" I frowned.
"Old man, I speak frankly, don't mind. You can't pretend to be murderous. Only those who have killed many people will show it." Mr. Dong looked at Zhao Shanyu and said, "It looked the same yesterday.
Your girlfriend showed mercy."
"I'm just a little old man just talking casually." Mr. Dong shook his head and said, "After all, in today's society, people with such murderous intent are too rare."
