Listening to Yi Zhi's contentment and say please have dinner, Xu Yixuan tilted her head and said, "Who wants to eat with you?" ”

Seeing this situation, Jin Lanxiang hurriedly turned around and said: "I have a good proposal, 'Datong Smoke and Rain' is one of the eight scenic spots in Guangzhou, Wujia Fuyin Garden is near Datong Temple, I heard that Fuyin Garden has beautiful scenery, it is a good place to spend time and escape the summer, 'Huatian Poetry Society' often holds poetry meetings there, our sisters have not had a party for some time, it is better to punish the shopkeeper to lend Fuyin Garden to us for a day for a party, how does my sister feel?" ”

"That's a good idea." Xu Yixuan said: "However, he can't be too cheap, he has to pay all expenses, and he has to invite a troupe." ”

The Wu family has long heard of the Fuyin Garden in the flower field, he has been to the flower field a lot, but he has not been to the Fuyin Garden once, with his relationship with the Wu family, to use the Fuyin Garden to hold a party, naturally it is a small matter, and the banquet troupe is not a problem, even if he said happily: "Okay, you will inform me after the date is set." ”

Seeing that he readily agreed, Xu Yixuan took the hat, but asked curiously: "What kind of freedom law is the freedom of marriage?" ”

Hearing this, Yi Zhizhi wanted to laugh, but he quickly held back and said slowly: "Freedom of marriage means free love, don't respect the orders of your parents, don't listen to the words of the matchmaker, I am the master of my marriage!" ”

"My marriage, my decision?" Jin Lanxiang widened her beautiful eyes and said suspiciously: "How does that work?" ”

"What's not going to work?" Yi Zhicontent said disapprerovingly: "I persuaded my parents that the marriage is up to me, and I don't want to marry a woman who I have never even met in the cave room." You have to know each other and fall in love. Re-married. As he spoke, he glanced at Xu Yixuan. Said: "There is a poem in the West that is widely praised - life is precious, love is more valuable, if it is for freedom, both can be thrown." ”

Coming out of the Yuanqi General Account, Xu Yixuan has been silently reciting this simple and popular poem, seeing that her expression was a little trance-like, Jin Lanxiang said coldly: "Sister shouldn't be tempted, right?" ”

"Tempted? What is tempting? Xu Yixuan said a little dazed.

"Divorce."

"Divorce? Is it so easy to get out of a marriage? Xu Yixuan said with a bitter face, she knew it very well. The Dongting Xi family is not a small family, if the Jin family withdraws from the marriage, the Xi family will inevitably be regarded as a great shame, and the two families must turn their faces into enemies!

At seven o'clock in the morning, the chimney of the Changle Machinery Manufacturing Factory began to smoke, in order to speed up the silk reeling machine, the factory director Tang Degui will start work a full hour earlier, but because the factory gives high enough wages, no one has an opinion. Even a group of foreign technicians have no complaints, and there are opinions about a group of students who act as translators. They were with foreign mechanics almost all day long, an hour earlier, which affected their morning jogging training, but they didn't dare to mention any opinions.

Yan Yangtian and a foreign mechanic walked into the door talking and laughing, and the porter Lao Wei stopped him and said, "Brother Yan, Director Tang asked you to go." ”

Hearing that Tang Degui had something to look for him, Yan Yangtian didn't dare to slack off, and hurried to the factory after explaining, and entered Tang Degui's office, he said generously: "Director Tang, do you have something to find me?" ”

"The sky is coming." Tang Degui said with a smile: "The big shopkeeper sent someone to come early in the morning, and I told you to leave four or five students who are fluent in English, and all the others brought back to Yuanqiyixue, and all their belongings were brought back." ”

"Okay, I'll arrange it."

"Wait." Tang Degui hurriedly said: "I'm sorry for you to tell the big shopkeeper, there are a lot of foreign technicians in the factory, and four or five translators are afraid that they won't be busy." ”

"Okay." Yan Yangtian replied with a full mouth, and then trotted to the forging workshop.

Yan Yangtian took everyone to rush back to Yixue by boat, and happened to meet Yi Zhifen on the Yixue pier, and on the pier, a group of students bowed down to salute, Yi Zhizhi nodded, and ordered: "Yan Yangtian stays, everyone else will go back to the dormitory first, and gather in the playground half an hour later." ”

Everyone who was waiting for them dispersed in a hurry, and Yi Zhizhi asked Yan Yangtiandao: "How many people are willing to serve on the battleship?" ”

"Back to the principal." Yan Yangtian hurriedly replied: "During this time, the students first went to Shunde and then in Changle, secretly visited the matter of recruiting service personnel, the students entrusted it to Dong Dazhuang, I don't know the specific situation, before going to Shunde, there were seventy-four Yuanqi apprentices who expressed their willingness to serve on the battleship, and the other students had ninety-five. ”

"Call Dong Dazhuang." Yi Zhizhi said: "I am on the viewing platform in the playground. ”

Yi Zhizu stepped up to the viewing platform on his front feet, and Yan Yangtian came up with a tall and sturdy young man on his heels, and the young man stepped forward

He bowed down and said, "Student Dong Dazhuang has seen the principal. ”

Glancing at him, Yi Zhizhi said with a smile: "This year, it seems that he has grown a lot taller and stronger, and now it matches your name a little." ”

"Back to the principal, the food is good, and I exercise every day, so it's hard not to grow tall." Dong Dazhuang said loudly: "Not just one student, most of them have grown taller. ”

"Not bad." Yi Zhishu nodded, he configured a high standard of food for Yixue, just to let the physical fitness of these students keep up as soon as possible, these years are not rich in material, Yixue's students are all malnourished and short and thin like mung bean sprouts, Yuanqi's apprentice is slightly better, but it is also limited.

Dong Dazhuang was originally a little nervous, but after two sentences, he was already relaxed, and took the initiative to report: "Principal, there are now 218 people who are willing to serve on the battleship, including 78 Yuanqi apprentices and 140 other students. ”

"That's a different story." Yi Zhisuff said with a smile: "The Governor has allowed Yuan Qi to form a five-hundred-person merchant protection group, which can be openly recruited and joined the merchant protection group, which is equivalent to joining Yuan Qi and enjoying all the benefits of Yuan Qi." ”

The two of them were stunned, and Yan Yangtian immediately asked, "Principal, then go to the battleship to serve." ”

"The matter of serving on a warship will not change, but now it can be recruited in the name of the Merchant Protector Group." Yi Zhizu said slowly: "Tell all those who know that this matter still cannot be made public, in the future, the battleship service personnel will be recruited from the merchant protection group, and after class, notify these two hundred and eighteen people to gather in the playground, from today onwards, the military training will officially begin, and I will personally train you." ”

Two hundred and eighteen people were divided into two companies by Yi Zhizu according to the three-three system, a squad of twelve people, a platoon of three squads, a company of three platoons, military training naturally starts from standing in a military posture, Yi Zhizu explained while demonstrating, "The two heels are close together, the legs are straight, the chest is naturally straight, the upper body is straight, the body is slightly leaning forward, and the arms are naturally drooping."
