There was another knock on the door. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoChen Cheng, who was worried about Zhongzhong, walked out of Jiang Dingwen's bedroom. Come to the living room. Jiang Dingwen hurriedly put on his clothes and tidied up his appearance in the mirror at the head of the bed.

An Yi's chief of guard, Lin Yaodong, stood in front of the door opened by Zhu Pingzhi, and said with a smile that Commander An's meeting had ended, and he was waiting in the car below because he was worried that the chiefs would not get up.

Chen Cheng nodded, returned to his guest room, and woke up Cai Zhongxiao, who was still sleeping in the next bedroom.

Jiang Dingwen knew that An Yi was embarrassed to come up, shook his head and didn't say anything, and told the adjutant to hurry up and prepare. It would be rude to make An Yi wait for a long time.

Fifteen minutes later. Chen Cheng and the three of them came downstairs, and at a glance they saw An Yi standing next to the black middle jeep and his gentle and lovely wife Feng Jieyun.

Chen Cheng didn't say a word and strode forward. Politely called Feng Jieyun a little sister, Feng Jieyun happily asked her brother-in-law why didn't you bring me Sister Manyi with me?

Sister Manyi that Feng Jieyun said is Tan Xiang, Chen Cheng's wife and the beloved daughter of Kuomintang veteran Tan Yantian. Also known as Tan Manyi, only very close people call Manyi the name.

Three years ago, Tan Yantian suffered from a cerebral hemorrhage, and before his death, he asked the Jiang family and his wife to choose a husband for Tan Xiang among the young officers. Chiang Kai-shek and Soong Meiling lived up to the trust and selected Chen Cheng among a group of young talents. On New Year's Day last year, Chiang Kai-shek personally officiated at the wedding for Chen Cheng and Tan Xiang. Feng Jieyun and Tan Xiang are both Song Meiling's goddaughters, and the two are often together and like sisters. Naturally, she became a good sister who accompanied the bride at the wedding, and she couldn't be more familiar with Chen Cheng. Therefore, at this moment, Feng Jieyun called Chen Cheng his brother-in-law, in a sense, Chen Cheng and An Yi are still brothers-in-law.

Jiang Dingwen and Cai Zhongji were also very happy to see Feng Jieyun again in Syria, and after saying hello, they got into the car at Feng Jieyun's invitation.

An Yi drove in person, and Feng Jieyun sat in the passenger seat.

Chen Cheng, Jiang Dingwen, and Cai Zhongyu sat in the back seat of the wide carriage, not crowded at all, but they were originally ready to ask An Yi and Principal Jiang what was going on between them, in front of the beautiful and kind Feng Jieyun. But I couldn't ask.

A convoy of three vehicles passed through Xicheng Boulevard. Chen Cheng and Jiang Dingwen saw the brand-new tall buildings on both sides of the flat and widened avenue, the beautiful residential areas full of greenery and interest, the tall camphor trees along the way and the colorful flower beds at every street corner, they were envious and sighed that it was really a garden-like city. But it's a must-have in the world! ”

The "lychee green" mentioned by Cai Zhongji is the Wuliangye Yuanqu produced locally and has become famous at home and abroad. Eighteen years ago, Wuliangye wine was filled with "lychee green". On behalf of China, it won the gold medal of the "Panama International Exposition", and this famous wine has been famous at home and abroad since then, and is the essence of the three most popular Wuliangye wine series. It is said that a bottle of white porcelain bottle of "lychee green" is sold for 150 oceans in the most upscale restaurant in Shanghai, because the quantity is limited, and you have to have an identity and a way to buy it, and it is difficult for ordinary people to see what they look like.

Jiang Dingwen is also a drinker, and he is naturally very clear about "lychee green", and he has only drunk it twice in his life, so when he heard Cai Zhongji mention it, he immediately agreed.

Chen Cheng is not good at drinking, and he has no hobby in this area at all. Hearing Jiang Dingwen echo casually, he asked curiously, "What lychee green?" Lychee wine? ”

Cai Zhongxiao glanced at Chen Cheng with great contempt, remembering that Chen Cheng was puzzled, he simply turned his head out of the window, Feng Jieyun, who was sitting in front, turned his head and said politely, If Brother Cai likes it, my little sister will give you a bottle before leaving.

Cai Zhongzhi heard that this was okay? I screamed with excitement. Jiang Dingwen was in a hurry. Hurriedly said Brother and sister, you can't be so partial!

%, ten thousand

Feng Jieyun saw the two of them anxious. Covering his little mouth, he was so happy that he generously said that the three eldest brothers had a share, and the little sister each gave a bottle to show her gratitude.

Jiang Dingwen listened to it and laughed with satisfaction, Chen Chengwang wanted to thank him, Cai Zhongxiao had already leaned up with a smile, and said flatteringly, Brother Xiu, you don't drink much. Just let me help you take it, and I'll see if I give you something to make up for it, and you won't suffer. Chen Cheng didn't know the thoughts of Cai Zhongzai, an old drunkard, and immediately replied to Cai Zhongzao's disdainful look, turned his head to the side and stopped talking.

An Yi, who was driving, turned his head and scolded bitterly that his wife was too generous, Feng Jieyun was stunned for a moment and asked: Didn't you have a lot of this wine in the cellar in the backyard? What is three bottles? The words made Cai Zhongji and Jiang Dingwen noisy as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.

An Yi regretted that his intestines were blue, and he couldn't wait to slap himself in the mouth.

The car entered the simple and atmospheric gate of the West Garden, turned a corner, and stopped under the big tree on the west side.

The laughter in the car stopped abruptly, and it was frighteningly quiet, and Chen Cheng, Jiang Dingwen and Cai Zhong were the first to open their mouths. Sit in the back seat like a puppet. Looking at the familiar faces around the several large tables in the courtyard outside the window, I didn't know what to do.

An Yi turned off the engine and got out of the car, turned around from the front of the car and helped Feng Jieyun down, looked at Chen Cheng and the three of them who were nervous and motionless in the car, and then glanced at Li Jishen, Ou Yaoting, Zhu Peide, Lao Shoudao, Zhang Hongza, Zhou Chongan, He Jing, Ye Qing, Huang Xuchu, Ma Junwu and other seniors and close friends in the military and political circles, happily beckoned to Zhan Huanqi and Gu Changfeng, a group of brothers who were waiting to see the excitement, turned to the car again, and asked pretending to be strange:

"What's wrong? All of you here are relatives and friends, so what is there to be embarrassed about by the three eldest brothers. ”

Jiang Dingwen sighed leisurely: Xiao Yi, you deliberately want to see our jokes, right? Say it earlier, Brother Ci Xiu, Brother Zhichen, go down, it's all here,"

Chen Cheng, Jiang Dingwen and Cai Zhongji could only get out of the car, the three of them glanced at each other, walked neatly and walked towards a group of smiling elders and former elders, and respectfully saluted and greeted each other.

Li Jishen and Zhu Peide were very happy. Hurriedly pulled Chen Cheng and introduced them to Ma Junwu, Jiang Yunshan, Huang Xuchu, Old Man Qi, and Zhong Mingpu one by one.

Jiang Dingwen knew Huang Xuchu, the current No. 3 person in the Gui family, a few years ago, and after greeting the old chief and a few Confucian and Taoist masters, he squeezed out a signature smile. stretched out his hands to Huang Xuchu, who was smiling very reservedly.

An Yi hugged his son who threw himself on him, stood aside with Ou Chuer and Feng Jieyun, gloating at Chen Cheng and Cai Zhong, who were unable to walk under nervousness.

Ou Chu'er smiled and slapped An Yi lightly: "You are so bad, I have never seen Brother Chen and Brother Cai so restrained before, but Brother Jiang is generous." ”

An Yi smiled: "He is an old fritter, his skin is thicker than the city wall, who tastes him." You didn't ask to play cards and win the money, Tiangui Laozi he took his hand. ”

One sentence made Feng Jieyun and Ou Chuer giggle, Feng Jieyun finished laughing, and took the promise in An Yi's arms: "Go over quickly, don't embarrass your brother-in-law and Brother Cai too much." ”

An Yi shook his head and smiled, tightened his grip on Ou Chu'er's slender waist, let go and strode up to meet it, mingling with a group of respected friends.

Lao Zhuang, who has become a famous photography master in the country, was too busy to have time to greet An Yi and other generals, commanded a group of apprentices and grandchildren, and recorded precious shots with cameras and cameras. The young man has grown into a generation of famous generals.

This time, Lao Zhuang led a huge film crew of more than 60 people to come, not only to produce a documentary film reflecting the achievements of the construction of southern Sichuan, but also to be responsible for the filming of the graduation ceremony and military parade of the non-commissioned officer school tomorrow.

The dinner was a grand spectacle, in the wide courtyard with fresh air and the fragrance of flowers, three large tables were set up, a group of honorable commanders occupied a table, An Yi, Yang Bin, Gu Changfeng and Xia Jian and other southern Sichuan generals and Chen Cheng made up a table, Chen Cheng and Jiang Dingwen, Cai Zhonglong's adjutant entourage was arranged to sit at the third table where An Jiajun and the division commanders and regiment commanders of the armies were located, and it was lively and lively, and more than a dozen orderly soldiers in neat military uniforms shuttled inside and outside, with smiles on their faces. Seeing the world-famous generals and great Confucians, I respect them very much.

The dishes were all laid out and the wine was full, Li Jishen was quite surprised and pointed to the dazzling array of northern and southern flavors on the table, and asked, "Brother Dao, where did you invite so many chefs from all over the world?" ”

"That's right, the younger brother also has such questions," After a closer look, the table full of dishes was beautifully prepared. The color and fragrance are complete, but there is no craftsmanship of the dishes cooked in ordinary buildings, and it is mouth-watering without a chop. I love it! A few comments from Ma Junwu, the veteran of the League and president of Guangxi University, immediately won the unanimous approval of the surroundings.

Lao Shoudao shook his head and smiled, turned his head and called out to An Yi at the next table in a harmonious voice: "Boy, come here." Tell the elders about the origin of these dishes. ”

An Yi hurriedly stood up and walked over, and replied respectfully: "All the dishes tonight are all cooked by the wives of the brothers in our army. Your predecessors also know that the officers and men of our army come from all over the country. The ladies are also industrious and virtuous. After being stationed in southern Sichuan, the brothers' wives organized their own women's associations, and in their spare time, they often met together to learn about cooking and raising children. All of them have a pair of skillful hands. Tonight's wine is a secret wine generously given by Zhong's predecessors, that is, the famous "lychee green" is so loved, so that the younger generations are sincerely afraid! ”

There was a burst of exclamation, then laughter, and many people couldn't help but look at the kitchen on the west side of the main building, but the women didn't want to show their heads, and set up three tables in the charming backyard. So no one could see them, and they couldn't hear this heartfelt admiration from the bottom of their hearts.

Only Zhong Mingpu, a local celebrity and business leader, looked proud, twisted his beard, stood up politely, and returned the salute to the thanked bigwigs.

Zhu Peide said with emotion: "Only the An Jiajun, who is like a brother and sister, has this kind of blessing, if so many of you go to the little brother's humble house in the future, the little brother can only take you to a few time-honored hotels in Kunming City to eat, if you want to eat such an authentic north and south flavor." But it's hard again. ”

Everyone laughed again, Zhang Hongza laughed, and said with emotion: "Your brothers may not know that it is in the administrative area under the jurisdiction of An Jiajun. All officials must pay for their own receptions, and only important foreign affairs receptions will be hosted at the expense of the government, and the prior consent of the Secretary for Finance and the Chief Civil Affairs Officer must be obtained.

"An Xian's nephew has always set an example, and the lieutenant generals and colonels in the army have also strictly abided by, therefore, the entire government at all levels in southern Sichuan has not spent a penny of hospitality expenses, and the officials are honest and honest, and they have won the hearts of the people. Ha ha

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and Ma Junwu asked Jiang Yunshan beside him in a low voice: "Brother Yucheng." Is this serious? ”

"Seriously, even the little brother, the head of a school with more than 2,000 teachers and students, is no exception. The regulations established by the Office of Pacification and the People's Assembly must be strictly observed. Otherwise, those cool officials from the Inspectorate will come to the door. Jiang Yunshan replied with a smile.

Ma Junwu turned to Huang Xuchu, who was thoughtful beside him: "Brother Yixing, can a government do such a thing in such a seemingly innocuous matter, can it still not be supported and embraced by the people?" ”

Huang Xuchu saluted Ma Junwu respectfully: "Thank you, sir, for your teachings!" This time I must take a good walk, it will only be a day and a half here. It's so impressive in every way. ”

After a while, the dinner officially began. There were no speeches, and there were no politenesses. Each table raised a glass to celebrate this rare gathering, and laughter and laughter ran throughout.

Only Chen Cheng and Jiang Dingwen laughed bitterly, and they originally planned to have a good talk with An Yi tonight to slowly untie the knot between An Yi and Principal Jiang.

Chen Cheng has already prepared a large number of moving and reasoning speeches, and Jiang Dingwen has also collected a touching scene and friendship between the brothers and the principal since the Northern Expedition, but now, facing a. One, the call of the elder, facing the frank and unrestrained wine glasses of dozens of generals. I didn't have a chance to say anything.

In the early morning of the 7th, Chen Cheng got up, stared blankly at the morning light outside the window, and painfully recalled how he came back last night? Thinking about it, the phone in the living room rang, and the voice of adjutant Guo Xin soon came:

"Sir, in one hour, Brother An will send someone to pick him up, rush to the non-commissioned officer school after breakfast, the graduation ceremony and military parade will officially start at nine o'clock, Brother An will ask if we need to prepare a dress."

"Wait! What parade? How did the graduation ceremony have a military parade? What does Xiao Yi mean by doing this? ”

"The subordinates don't know, it seems that this time Brother An is not reluctant"
