The news of the upcoming peace talks between the north and the south spread all over the country, and the whole country was eagerly hoping that the peace talks would bring hope to this ancient country to rise again. Whether it is a young student, a gray-haired old gentry, or a street vendor pawn, they are all looking forward to the fact that this North-South peace talks can calm down the war and give birth to a quiet and prosperous life, and they are even more looking forward to their own lives being better and better after this peace talks.

Although there are no large-scale battles on the Hubei front line and Jiangsu, there are small-scale conflicts every day, and at the same time, Huang Xing in Nanjing initially controlled most of the military forces near Nanjing, and made a Northern Expedition.

At the same time, the Beiyang Army also made frequent moves, and after a period of mobilization, the remnants of the Sixth and Fourth Towns of the First Army in Hubei had arrived in Hubei from the Gyeonggi area, and at the same time, the third and second towns of Hubei had also set off for the north. After this rectification, the strength of the First Army in Hubei increased instead of decreasing, and the two town soldiers came to the city of Wuchang, so that Li Yuanhong could not sleep steadily. On the Jinpu line, most of the troops of the Fifth Town had already reached Xuzhou, and together with Zhang Xun's Jiangfang army, they not only ensured the northward passage of the Jinpu line, but also could use the Jinpu line to threaten Nanjing at any time.

The military confrontation is far less eye-catching than the political confrontation, and Yuan Shikai's representative for the peace talks, Tang Shaoyi, has not yet made it to Tianjin, and the north and the south have had violent contradictions because of the location of the peace talks. Huang Xing and others in the south naturally wanted to hold peace talks in Nanjing, so as to take advantage of the home advantage to gain a negotiating advantage, and at the same time, in this way, they also determined the capital of the future provisional political axe.

The people of Beiyang are not stupid, so naturally they will not be stupid enough to go to Nanjing, they advocate in Tianjin. As a result, the peace talks between the two sides had not officially begun, so they were shelved because of the location of the talks, and Tang Shaoyi had to wait in Tianjin.

Seeing that time passed slowly, in the end, both sides took a step back and chose the Shanghai Concession. As for security and other issues, it will be guaranteed by the concession authorities.

When Tang Shaoyi and a group of Qing court representatives headed south from Tianjin again, Chen Jingyun was also busy with the day's work early and rushed home before noon.

After entering the hall, Chen Jingyun saluted Chen Yu before sitting down, and soon after, the mother and son had lunch together. Because Chen Jingyun had already received Luo Li's instructions before going home, the chefs in the house had already prepared, and although the cooking dishes were all home-cooked, they were extremely exquisite, which could be described as full of color, flavor, and flavor.

After the mother and son finished eating, Chen Yu got up and went to the backyard to walk a few steps in order to eliminate food, and asked Chen Jingyun to go with him.

The Chen family was originally a big family in Fuzhou, and there were officials from generation to generation, and the family business was quite rich, and the scale of this mansion was naturally not small, but the Chen family's father's generation had already separated, and Chen Jingyun himself had no brothers, so that after Chen Jingyun's two sisters married out, the huge Chen Mansion turned out to be withered, if it weren't for dozens of servants and maids, I am afraid that this huge Chen Mansion would be even more empty.

The scale of Chen's house is not small, the nature of this backyard is also excellent, like most of the houses in the south of the Yangtze River, the backyard has introduced living water, dug a small lake, there are also a continuous lotus flowers planted in the lake, the south side of the lake extends out from the shore with a small bridge with railings on both sides, after crossing the bridge is a small pavilion, if it is Xia Yueli in this lake pavilion to eat wine and enjoy the flowers, it is excellent.

Chen Yu's family was walking along the bluestone path by the lake, Chen Yu's family was already a woman in her fifties, and her little feet were wrapped in her early years, so she didn't walk fast. Chen Jingyun followed slowly beside him, followed by a few waiting maids, and more than ten steps back was Chen Cai, and there were more than ten guards guarding the backyard in the light or dark. Chen Jingyun has always been very concerned about his own safety, and among the purchased Mauser C96s, the first one to be equipped is Chen Jingyun's guards, including Chen Cai, with two handfuls pinned to his waist. Chen Jingyun's guard is now quite a few people, a company of nearly 150 people, divided into three squads for 20 hours a day, the members of the guard are all selected from the elite of the guard brigade, several major officers of the guard are selected by Chen Jingyun personally, and the equipment is a rifle per person, and each person has two Mauser C96s. From close combat and in the face of unexpected events, this firepower is already extremely sufficient.

Of course, this guard is mainly faced with assassination and the like, and if it encounters a large number of enemy troops, it will have to rely on the guard brigade.

Walking slowly with his mother Chen Yu, Chen Jingyun did not have any impatient thoughts. Since arriving at this age, Chen Jingyun has spent almost every day in the green, and when he has a little free time, he is also worried about various things. Today, I accompanied Chen Yushi to talk softly and walk, and for a while, I actually had a rare sense of relaxation, and the tension and worry that accompanied Chen Jingyun made Chen Jingyun feel relaxed for the first time.

This may be the meaning of the word mother!

"Yesterday, Luo Li said that the chef in your governor's mansion is not good, I made a few characters colorful, and I will let them go back with you when I turn around!" Chen Yushi was worried about Chen Jingyun's bits and pieces: "There are clothes and the like, Luo Li's girl is good for everything else, but this embroidery thing is not good at how to do it, although there are tailors outside, but some of the clothes that are often not as comfortable as those made by their own families!" I'll ask Aunt Seven to move to your side as well. ”

Listening to Chen Yu's talk about these trivial matters of clothing, food, housing and transportation, Chen Jingyun felt a long-lost warmth.

"My son has written it down, and I'll take them back later!"

Chen Yushi continued to nag, it was all some small things in life, Chen Yushi was a woman, although she knew that her son was doing earth-shattering things, but she didn't know the specific details, at least she didn't understand what the word revolution was. Therefore, Chen Yu never said this to Chen Jingyun, as long as Chen Jingyun was doing well and there was no danger, it was enough.

She doesn't care about Chen Jingyun's official affairs, but she is still extremely concerned about Chen Jingyun's other things.

"A few days ago, my mother-in-law came again, and by the way, she also brought Lin Yun over and accompanied me for a day." Chen Yu has always been satisfied with Lin Yun, and when he talked about her, the corners of his mouth were curled up to show a happy smile: "Talk about some things about her studying at Beiman Girls' School!" ”

Chen Jingyun was a little surprised when she heard her mention Lin Yun, but he didn't think much about it and continued to respond: "Hmm! ”

At this time, Chen Yu's words changed: "I heard my mother-in-law say, you have only been there once in a long time?" ”

Chen Jingyun was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then thought about it carefully, as if he had really only been there once, and what he said was only a few words.

At this time, Chen Yu continued: "Your wedding date is still years old, so you don't need to avoid it so much. If you have time, go to the Lin family to sit down! ”

Chen Jingyun could only nod his head and say yes!

Sometimes Chen Jingyun can't tell what he feels about Lin Yun, if he says love, he must be a lie, Chen Jingyun just saw her, even if he thinks she is beautiful, he is also a little curious about her, but this is reality not a novel, Chen Jingyun asked himself if he didn't have the great quality of love at first sight. It would be a lie for Dan Yao to say that he didn't like it, and he didn't care about anything else, but her appearance made Chen Jingyun have a good impression of her.

To put it simply, Chen Jingyun occasionally thinks of such a beautiful woman who is about to become his wife.

Feelings are either love at first sight or long-term love, for example, Chen Jingyun and Luo Li are even the kind of long-term love, but Chen Jingyun and Lin Yun are neither.

I don't have that memory in my heart, and Chen Jingyun is usually very busy, and when I have a little free time, I also accompany Luo Li's girl in the house, so I forgot about Lin Yun back and forth.

The head promised Chen Yu to go to see Lin Yun more, and Chen Jingyun didn't plan to delay too much, anyway, since he shirked his official business and went home to ask for his surname, he would go to Lin Mansion again.

In the afternoon, Chen Jingyun took people to the outside of the Lin Mansion, and like last time, the Lin Mansion showed great enthusiasm for Chen Jingyun's arrival, and Mrs. Lin happened to be absent today, so Lin Hao accompanied Chen Jingyun to speak.

Lin Hao is not very old, only sixteen years old, but he is extremely tall, even taller than Chen Jingyun, but Chen Jingyun heard that this person's conduct is not good, and he lingered in the Qinglou gambling house at a young age, and now he knows that the rumors are true when he looks at this person's pale face.

Chen Jingyun was perfunctory to Lin Hao while drinking tea and waiting.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for a maid to come out, saying that Lin Yun was waiting for him in the pavilion in the backyard.

Chen Jingyun came here to see Lin Yun, so naturally he was not interested in continuing to talk nonsense with Lin Hao, so he immediately went with the maid, and on the way, Chen Jingyun couldn't help but turn his mind, the backyard gazebo, how do you feel that there is a feeling of backyard Xiucai and Miss Hua before the moon?

Walking all the way, I thought about it all the way, and tried to recall the appearance of Lin Yun on the way, but for a while, I couldn't think of her careful face, but I knew that she was very beautiful.

The journey was not long, and before he could figure out how beautiful Lin Yun was, the maid who led the way in front had already stopped walking, Chen Jingyun looked up, and saw a girl leaning on the railing in the corridor, and seemed to smile when she saw herself.

The girl has quietly retreated, Chen Jingyun walked over slowly, getting closer and closer, she is getting more and more real, there are faint traces of fat powder on the face of the melon seeds, and the eyebrows are also described, wearing a pink and green gauze skirt, seeing Chen Jingyun come over, his face showed a sweet smile, and when he got closer, Chen Jingyun could smell the faint jasmine fragrance, at this time, the question that was still bothering Chen Jingyun just now is still the same, she is beautiful, but how beautiful is it, Chen Jingyun can't describe it, and can't even find the answer.

But what does it matter?

If he thinks she's pretty, she's pretty......
