For relatives and friends who come to him, Chen Jingyun maintains two attitudes, on the one hand, he is talented, for example, people like Yu Ruofei Chen Jingyun is not afraid of what others say about his cronyism, and in just two months, Yu Ruofei was promoted to the position of a senior officer like deputy division commander. Chen Jingyun is very welcome to these talented people, the more the better, after all, although relatives and friends are also at risk of rebellion, they always have an extra layer of protection.

But on the other hand, for those who have no talent and the like, Chen Jingyun will never look at anyone's face and reuse it indiscriminately, even if it is a person like the second brother-in-law, he just received an idle job, and if he wants to have some corruption and the like, he will be severely punished, and even his cousin Chen Jingan was driven out of the country by Chen Jingyun.

When they came to the flower hall in the backyard, they saw a young woman sitting inside, a man in a blue satin horse coat, and Luo Li was talking with them.

Chen Jingyun came in and stood up, Qian Hanlang first smiled and said: "Zihua, I haven't seen you for many years, and now you are much taller than before!" ”

Chen Jingyun's eldest sister saw Chen Jingyun's eyes moistened, and then walked over quickly: "Third brother came to show my sister, I haven't seen you for many years, and I almost forgot what you look like!" ”

The eldest sister has been married for a long time, although she has returned to her parents' house several times after getting married, but it was because Chen Jingyun was studying abroad, and because of the busy military affairs in the past two years, the two have not seen each other for five or six years.

At this time, Chen Jingyun was not easy to put on the shelf of the governor, so he relaxed the expression on his face and said: "Why don't the eldest sister and eldest brother-in-law come to Fuzhou without saying a word in advance, so that I can arrange someone to pick up the boat!" ”

Qian Hanlang said: "At the beginning of the year, I wanted to accompany your sister to Fuzhou to see my mother-in-law, but it would be delayed by things, this autumn I learned that you are going to get married, your eldest sister is planning to come to Fuzhou all day long, one is to visit her mother-in-law and her old man, and the other is to participate in your wedding." ”

Chen Jingyun said: "Oh, have you been to see your mother? ”

The eldest sister said: "We arrived in Fuzhou last afternoon, and we spent last night at home, and we only came to you this morning!" I originally wanted to go to the front yard to see you, but I heard that the secretary said that you were busy, so I didn't let him bother you! ”

Next, several people also talked, all of them were parents, Chen Jingyun tried his best to rely on the memory in his mind to speak, Luo Li on the side was very restrained in front of the eldest sister, and didn't dare to talk much, Chen Jingyun saw that she was so uneasy here, so he simply let her go to the kitchen to take a look: "Today my eldest brother-in-law and I want to have a good drink, you go and see if they can get a few good dishes to drink!" ”

Luo Li is small but very clever, as soon as he heard it, he knew that it was Chen Jingyun who took pity on him, and went out with a smile on his face.

"I think I have to give her a name, right?" The eldest sister is also careful, and she has long seen that Luo Li and Chen Jingyun are not simple.

Chen Jingyun said: "Let's wait until we get married!" ”

In the first few years, three wives and four concubines are still a normal phenomenon, and even a female surname like the eldest sister feels that Chen Jingyun can't stand the ancestors if he doesn't marry a few wives and have a bunch of sons

After the three of them talked for a while, they had lunch together, and the couple left after they were full of wine and food.

After Qian Hanlang and the eldest sister left, the eldest sister complained to her husband in a low voice: "Why didn't you let me say it just now, just start talking and give me a look!" ”

Qian Hanlang said: "What does your woman's family know, is it time to talk about that!" ”

The eldest sister said: "What are you afraid of, he is my third brother, what can't we say if our sister and brother were so good before." In the past, the second sister was not as good as me and the third brother, and people didn't work on the side of the military and political axe anymore."

"You!" Qian Hanlang was a little angry: "You don't look at what your second brother-in-law looks like now, just wait for death in an idle job!" ”

The eldest sister also sighed: "You are different from him, you are a capable person, and my brother knows it." Besides, you were originally a good five-grade official in the capital, if my brother didn't rebel, you would be implicated! ”

Hearing this, Qian Hanlang also sighed in his heart, Chen Jingyun rebelled, affecting not only his Fujian, but even himself who was far away in the capital was also affected, as soon as the court learned that he was Chen Jingyun's eldest brother-in-law, he fired himself without saying a word, and after returning to Tianjin and depressed for more than a month, he was also ready to take advantage of the name of attending the wedding to see if he could get an errand in Fuzhou.

But after a little inquiry yesterday, I found that Chen Jingyun's treatment of relatives is not uniform, there are lucky people like Yu Ruofei, and there are unlucky people like Chen Jingan. In such a situation, Qian Hanlang has to think carefully, he is not the Lin family's wreck, although his reputation was bought, but after so many years, the official's knowledge and ability have also increased greatly, and he understands in his heart that if he is like a second brother-in-law, he will come to the door and ask for an official, maybe he will be sent away by Chen Jingyun casually with an idle position.

Using favors to seek officials, it must be wanted, but how to do it Qian Hanlang has to worry about it again!

Chen Jingyun knew a little about the thoughts of these relatives, but he didn't care much about it. He still said that those who are talented will be promoted, and they will be promoted quickly. As for those who plan to come and eat and wait for death, don't think about any future, ordinary relatives Chen Jingyun directly ignore it, and he really can't refuse to give them an idle job.

Chen Jingyun is now thinking about the situation in the whole country, the political wrestling within Fujian, the army and other things, and he doesn't pay much attention to the trivial things like the family.

Although Chen Jingyun didn't care much about these private matters, Chen Jingyun still tried to put down his official affairs for several days, and ran home almost every day, for only one reason, that is, marriage.

Chen Jingyun's marriage has actually begun to prepare for Chen Yu's as early as the day of his next appointment, but at the beginning, he was preparing for a traditional style wedding, and later Chen Jingyun tried his best to make himself an enlightened politician in the eyes of outsiders for the sake of his reputation, so he persuaded Chen Yu's not to engage in a traditional wedding, but to have a wedding that combines Chinese and Western. Chen Yu is a woman's family, and she doesn't understand the influence of what her son said, but she knows that her son is different from the past, and many things can't be seen from the previous eyes, so she followed Chen Jingyun's meaning.

And then for this wedding ceremony that combines Chinese and Western styles, not only did the Chen Mansion work hard, but even many people on the military and political axe side were busy with it, after all, Chen Jingyun was the governor, and his wedding was no longer a simple wedding in a sense, but a political gathering.

Even the guest list was divided into two parts, one was the relatives and friends of the Chen Mansion and the Lin family, and the other was the political list drawn up by the secretariat, which not only invited influential local officials, businessmen and gentry in Fujian, but also some important political and military figures in neighboring provinces sent invitations, such as the former celebrities of Zhejiang, the former governor Tang Shouqian, the general of the Zhejiang army Zhu Rui, several powerful factions in Jiangsu, Huang Xing and others in Nanjing, Chen Jiongming in Guangzhou, and so on.

Of course, no one, including Chen Jingyun, can expect these powerful figures to come to Fuzhou to attend Chen Jingyun's wedding, but the invitation must be sent, although these people can't come in person, but basically they have sent cronies to Fuzhou to congratulate, for example, Tang Shouqian's third son has arrived in Fuzhou two days ago, ready to attend Chen Jingyun's wedding, and Cai Yi, who is far away in Yunnan, even sent his personal representative to Fuzhou at the Shanghai Governor's Conference.

Seeing that this wedding is about to turn into a political gathering, Chen Jingyun does not dare to be sloppy, although most of the affairs are arranged, but there are still many things that need to be done by him personally, and he is busy after a few days of hard work.

In addition to some facial expressions, Chen Jingyun is more busy meeting people, the first batch is the local wealthy businessmen and gentry in Fujian, among whom are qualified to come from the explosion of the family to see, Chen Jingyun will basically take time to meet, maybe only a few minutes, but it is very effective for winning the hearts of the people. Then there are the local political axe officials in Fujian, and then there are the generals of the national army, large and small, among the generals who came this time, basically all the majors and above have met in person, although the time is not long, but so many people add up to a lot of wasted effort.

As for the other powerful figures in China, none of them came in person, and basically sent cronies to congratulate them, such as Tang Shouqian's third son, Cai Yi's personal representative, and even after Yuan Shikai learned that Chen Jingyun was going to get married, he secretly sent a commissioner to congratulate him, and sent a congratulatory message written by Yuan Shikai himself!

also brought Yuan Shikai's message: "If the provinces are like Zihua, China's rise is just around the corner!" ”

On the surface, this is to boast about Chen Jingyun, but in fact, Yuan Shikai still wants to say that if the governors of the southern provinces are as knowledgeable as you Chen Jingyun and all of them take refuge in my old Yuan, then my old Yuan will soon be able to unify China, and then China's rise is just around the corner!

Among them, Sun Wen also publicly sent a special envoy to congratulate him, and Sun Wen has always done enough to save face, and this time the special envoy sent to Fuzhou just arrived in Fuzhou and said to the media: "President Sun said that young people should take on the heavy responsibility and lead the country to a republic!" ”

The young man in his mouth is naturally Chen Jingyun. However, after the envoy had just met with the reporter, after seeing Chen Jingyun in Chen Jingyun's study, he conveyed a handwritten letter from Sun Wen.

In his letter, Sun Wen greatly praised Chen Jingyun's lofty revolutionary consciousness, which was actually the best embodiment of the members of the League, and after some boasting, he changed his pen and hoped that Chen Jingyun would take the general direction of the League as the direction of Fujian, send the two central divisions to the periphery of Xuzhou, and ask Fujian to pay all this year's taxes.

After reading the letter, Chen Jingyun wanted to laugh but was embarrassed to laugh, and finally held back and said to the envoy: "I know and understand the difficulties of the president. It's just that our Fujian is barren, although the finance is less than a quarter of Guangdong, less than one-fifth of Jiangsu, and the tax revenue of this barren land is difficult to even meet for self-use. ”

When the envoy heard this, the color was naturally extremely ugly.

If the envoys sent by Sun Wen and Yuan Shikai were of no practical significance to Chen Jingyun, then the people sent by Cai Yi were a bit interesting.
