Wang Maoru naturally didn't know about the bends inside, and when he saw Mu Tianjia coming, he hurriedly invited him to take a seat. According to the Chinese tradition, Mu Tianjia, as the godfather of Jade Zhuo and Jade Cicada, naturally let him sit in the position of the chief elder. However, Wang Mao's identity at this time was here, and Mu Tianjia was humble, but everyone hurriedly said that it was not in accordance with the rules, Wang Maoru said that my godfather didn't let me break the rules of my ancestors, so I had to sit on the head. also received three New Year's greetings from Wang Maoru and other juniors kneeling elders' heads (the juniors kowtow to the elders during the New Year, this rule is no longer available in many places, and this rule still exists in the northeast countryside when Ximen was a child).

Mu Tianjia's face was happy, and his two sons Mu Xiaochun and Mu Xiaodong were also proud, look, General Shangwu, General Shangwu, who has an army of 300,000, is now my brother-in-law (brother-in-law), see who dares to look down on us again.

The New Year of the Republic of China is not the beginning of the Chinese New Year's Eve, but the period from the 23rd year of the lunar month to the 15th day of the first month, plus the cold weather in the northeast, the people are "cat winter", or a few friends invite each other to go up the mountain to hunt with shotguns, come back to eat and drink, and the family is happy. Maybe you don't understand the environment of the Northeast, in the Republic of China, the land here is fertile and oily, and the game is everywhere, but in the later special period, natural disasters, the Northeast rarely starved to death. But the difference is that Henan, Hubei, Hunan, and Sichuan, the land of fish and rice in history, starved to death by millions. Therefore, people in the Northeast sometimes seem a little lazy, after all, the environment is different.

With its abundant wildlife and fertile land, it's no wonder that the Japanese are greedy for it, and it's no wonder that Tohoku pays more attention to sake culture than the rest of the country, and basically doesn't expect to sober up at a friend's house as soon as you arrive in Tohoku......

So is the Mu family. Coming to Harbin is basically a small banquet a day and a big banquet for three days, plus Mu Tianjia is the godfather of the commander-in-chief, who doesn't come to stammer. This night was the twenty-eighth year of the year, and Wang Maoru's family got together to drink again, and there were no outsiders in the family. Halfway through the drink, Mu Tianjia took advantage of the strength of the wine to talk to Wang Maoru, saying that his uncompetitive second son wanted to ask for an official and a half-position.

As soon as I heard this request. Wang Maoru's face immediately changed with a smile on his face, and Zuo Yuzhuo and Zuo Yuchan, who were accompanying him, also changed their faces. The two of them know that Wang Maoru has a rule. That is, his own woman must not participate in politics, and she must not mix politics with politics, Yuzhuo immediately glanced at Mu Tianjia and gave a hint.

The eldest lady Ulan Tuya didn't care about any of this. continued to eat the meat, but a disdainful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. Wang Maoru built a horse farm for her and collected world-famous horses for her to play. Yuzhuo is shrewd, and it can be seen that Wang Maoru does not allow women to interfere. Jade Cicada's temperament is even more indisputable, just accompanying three children every day is enough. The fourth lady Zhiya is not accompanied today, she has recently become obsessed with writing novels, and has become a literary young woman, and has recently been writing a masterpiece that is said to be a long masterpiece behind closed doors, Wang Maoru asked what it was, it was actually a story similar to Hamlet's Chinese Tang Dynasty version of the prince's revenge plus three or four corners. Therefore, he doesn't care about politics at all, and these wives are quite worry-free. 、

Unexpectedly, Mu Tianjia, the godfather, was not worried, and when he saw the embarrassing scene, Yu Zhuo hurriedly laughed, and interjected: "Let's only talk about family affairs during the New Year, only family affairs." What kind of official, let's not talk about it. ”

Mu Tianjia is a smart person, an old man and an old spirit, and he immediately saw that something was wrong from Wang Maoru's face, but Mu Xiaodong said with a longing expression: "Brother-in-law, I am your brother-in-law." Who can have their own relatives. "I can't see people's faces at all, and it's no wonder that he was hunted down and killed by the Qing Gang in Shanghai. Mu Tianjia hurriedly kicked him, and Mu Xiaodong also said, "Dad, why are you kicking me?" Am I not right? My brother-in-law's country, I will definitely help my brother-in-law, and change it to someone else, in case someone has a bad heart to take away my brother-in-law's country. Brother-in-law, do you say? ”

Wang Maoru said in his heart, with your IQ and eyesight, can I use you? Fu felt ridiculous again, this brother-in-law is really a Qiba, he has seen something that he has no eyesight to see, but he has never seen such a lack of eyesight, so he laughed out loud and said, "This matter will be discussed later, I will discuss it with my father-in-law." ”

Mu Xiaodong nodded and said: "It's negotiable, you see, I graduated from high school, and I became an official, so I was a shame on my brother-in-law, and I was an official, and I was jealous." So, I don't even know what to do......"

Everyone looked at each other......

After the banquet, Mu Tianjia said to Wang Maoru helplessly: "Xiusheng, I didn't say anything about Dongzi. ”

Wang Maoru said: "Father-in-law, I, Wang Maoru, have only three principles for employing people. ”

Mu Tianjia asked, "What are the three principles?" ”

"First, be loyal to me, second, be talented, and third, know how to advance and retreat." Wang Maoru said, "Which one of the winter sons matches?" ”

"Loyal ......"

Wang Maoru interrupted: "It's true that Dongzi is my brother-in-law, but he is not really loyal to me, let me show you what loyalty to me is." After speaking, he took out the silver Browning pistol on his waist, signaled from the adjutant Ma Liang, Ma Liang came over, he unloaded the bullet in Ma Liang's hand, asked him to put it away, and then took Ma Liang and Mu Tianjia to the side of the junior guard, and said to a junior officer: "Yu Xiaomao, come here." ”

The fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy immediately ran over, saluted and said, "Yes, Enshuai, what do you command?" ”

Wang Maoru pulled out the Browning pistol and said, "Are you loyal to me?" ”

"Yes, Enshuai."

"Can you die for me?"

"Yes, Enshuai."

"This gun is for you, kill yourself with it right now."

"Yes, Enshuai." Yu Xiaomao took the pistol and shot himself in the head without hesitation, there was a bang, there was no bullet, Yu Xiaomao put down the pistol, Wang Maoru said: "Okay, Yu Xiaomao, you have passed the test, from today onwards, I officially appoint you as the captain of the Young Guard." ”

"Yes, Shane." Yu Xiaomao held the pistol in both hands.

Wang Maoru pushed it over and said, "You are the captain, you should be equipped with a pistol, this one will be handed over to you, be your matching gun, go down." ”

"Yes, Enshuai."

After Yu Xiaomao left, Mu Tianjia smiled bitterly: "This ...... This...... Alas. ”

Wang Maoru said: "What if I test Dongzi in this way? ”

Mu Tianjia said bitterly: "I'm afraid he will cry with fear." ”

"It's still my father-in-law who knows his character, but in fact, if he picks up a gun and points it at me, I think he's a man." Wang Maoru said.

"How dare he point a gun at you?" Mu Tianjia smiled bitterly.

Wang Maoru said: "Of course, the one who pointed the gun at me was a man, but he was also killed by me, and those who didn't dare to take the gun to me could at least live." Father-in-law, I heard Yuzhuo say that Da Chunzi ...... him"

"Alas, when I was seven years old, I accidentally fell into the ice water, I was a poor scholar at that time, how could I know so much, I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, is my Mu family going to be the last?" Mu Tianjia looked up to the sky and sighed sadly.

Wang Maoru suddenly laughed and said, "Is Dongzi okay?" ”

"Fuyuko is fine."

Wang Maoru said: "In this way, you go back and say to Dongzi, when will he leave three grandchildren for the Mu family, when will I use him." ”

Mu Tianjia's eyes widened and he said, "This ...... What kind of trick is this? ”

Wang Maoru said: "His character is not bad, but he has few eyes, lacks experience, and has no words, and when he goes home and gives birth to three sons, how can it be ten years later, and if he can't sharpen it in ten years, this person will live in vain in this life." After ten years, he has sharpened his temperament, and I will let him be a petty official and spend his life in peace. Sometimes the higher you get up, the more dangerous it becomes. ”

Mu Tianjia has been an official for many years, so he naturally understands the true meaning of it, strokes his beard and says: "Yes, when the surface scenery is infinite, it is very dangerous, it is difficult to be an official, it is even more difficult to be a big official, Dongzi's character is indeed not suitable for being a big official, if he is a big official, he will either be killed by the enemy that day, or he will be framed by his own people." Alas, okay, I'll tell him to go. Fu said: "People often say that you gave birth to a seven-trick exquisite heart, I used to think it was an exaggeration, but I didn't expect it to be true." ”

"My father-in-law has won an award, so I dare not be ashamed." Wang Maoru said with a smile.

In the evening, another movie was shown in the house, and it was still a new movie directed by director Jin Xiushan, called "The Legend of Yue Fei", and Jin Xiushan also played the role of Yue Fei very shamelessly. Of course, this movie is a silent film, unlike "The Great Military Parade", which is generally played with a record, so how much money it costs. In this "The Biography of Yue Fei", Yue Fei played by Jin Xiushan takes the story line from his mother-in-law's lettering to the battle against Zhu Xianzhen and then to the Twelve Gold Medals Recall Unjust Death Storm Pavilion, and tells Yue Fei's story roughly. However, Jin Xiushan's film company seems to be influenced by his time in the United States, and he likes this kind of long-term movie, and the audience feels that it is worth the money when they watch the movie, after all, the average movie ends in half an hour, and the audience spends the same money, an hour and a half an hour, in this era of extremely scarce entertainment culture, it is natural for the audience to choose nature at a glance.

Wang Maoru is very speechless about this kind of silent film, what's so good about it, but the people in the house are stunned and tearful when they watch it, it's really ...... Entertainment is low-end, entertainment in this era......

was watching the movie, Luo Hao, the director of the security department, walked in and whispered, "Xiushuai, my subordinates have something to report." ”

"What?" Wang Maoru stood up and led him to a secret room.

The security department is now gradually decentralized, Luo Hao is more and more in charge of international affairs, Li Muyu is more and more in charge of domestic affairs, and Zheng Ergen, the head of the third intelligence section who is subordinate to the two of them, is responsible for management training, of course, in view of Zheng Ergen's lack of education, he also has many staff officers to assist.

Luo Hao said in a low voice: "According to our spy reports in Japan and Xu Shuzheng's information, a total of three Japanese cargo ships have been shipped from the Osaka Arsenal in Japan, arrived in Dalian Jinzhou Bay five days later, and arrived in Qinhuangdao three days later. ”
