Wang Maoru also knew that time was pressing, so he said: "Today I will officially introduce you to everyone, you are my Wang Xiusheng's fourth lady, hurry up and put on makeup, I want you to attend tonight's farewell dinner." ”

Okay, Zhiya, who had just attempted suicide, was busy now, looking for clothes, putting on makeup, and pushing Wang Maoru out saying that she wanted to put on makeup so as not to embarrass Wang Maoru. Wang Maoru was at a loss for the second monk, this woman, one second she was going to die or live, and the next second she couldn't tell what she was going to do.

The clothes of the four ladies are also something that makes the guests appreciate, and each of them dresses differently, revealing four very different styles. The eldest lady, the ninth princess, Ulan Tuya, was wearing a white Mongolian skirt, small leather boots on her feet, a round apple face and big eyes, and the pride and open-mindedness of the steppe daughter between her gestures were fully revealed. The second lady Yuzhuo is wearing a dress, she is a mixed-race child, wearing white Western women's clothes looks like a princess, with the three-dimensional facial features of Westerners and the charm of Oriental beauties, and the two styles linger on her with a fatal attraction. The third lady Jade Cicada was wearing a blue modified cheongsam, which was originally particularly revealing her figure, and Jade Cicada's plump figure was matched with her pitiful style like a jade funeral flower, which made all the guests praise. The fourth lady, Wang Zhiya, wore a traditional Japanese women's kimono, but under Wang Maoru's strong opposition, light makeup was always appropriate, and a good family education gave people a noble and elegant temperament. If you say who of the four ladies looks the most like a noblewoman. There is no doubt that Zhiya's gestures inadvertently reveal the temperament of a wealthy family, and she is worthy of being the daughter of the Kawada family.

Wang Maoru's four wives envied all the guests, and couldn't help but feel that the world is really unfair, what about Rhodes, the U.S. consul in Harbin? James walked up to Wang Maoru. He said in English with envy: "Wang, you are really a lucky man, as long as a man has one of these four angels, he is already the luckiest person in the world, I didn't expect you to have four such angels." I envy the polygamy of your East, especially in your country, where as long as men are strong enough, they can have enough wives. "Westerners have always been very direct. Praising other people's wives is also a kind of politeness and cultivation, and it is also a way to get closer to each other. Of course, people who don't understand this culture will definitely make jokes, thinking that this foreign devil has a crush on his wife.

Wang Maoru laughed. Speaking in English, he replied, "Consul James, as far as I know, polygamy is also practiced in Mormonism in Utah, your country, so polygamy is not unique to the East. Consul James, I wonder what kind of religion you follow? What do you think. What about this Mormon doctrine? ”

James shook his head and said, "I'm a devout Christian, not a Mormon, I believe in God." God ordained that a man could only marry one woman. As for Mormonism, it was denounced as a cult in Europe and expelled into exile. And only in a liberal and democratic America can survive. ”

Wang Maoru said: "You are right, American-style freedom and democracy are the greatest achievements in the world. The French created freedom and democracy, but the Americans let people know what freedom and democracy are. To the great freedom and democracy, the great American sages, Washington, Franklin, Jefferson, cheers. ”

James raised his glass and exclaimed, "Cheers, too, for your erudition." ”

Whether it is a politician, a soldier, a scholar, or a gentry, they all admire Wang Maoru at this moment, looking at a man, in addition to status, he must look at his woman, one is quality, and the other is quantity. Some people have more wives, but the quality is too poor to take a shot, just like Zhang Zuolin, five wives, the eldest wife is an old lady from the Northeast, and the fourth wife is also a nun. And Zhang Zongchang has many wives, but none of them can take them out. Therefore, from the perspective of the quality of his wife, Wang Maoru's pursuit is obviously more than a grade higher than theirs. Look at what people are marrying? Princesses, half-breeds, daughters of Japanese nobles, who do other warlords marry? In addition to the designated marriage match since childhood, most of them are dramas, or they were snatched by seeing the beautiful daughter of the small family on the street.

In fact, as far as Wang Maoru is concerned, it is much more difficult to face four wives than to face strong opponents, and how to get along with four women is also a headache for him. It's just that on today's occasion, the four wives are very decent, although Yu Zhuo and Yu Chan have been servants of small families since childhood, they also have a good experience, especially with a good learning example Zhiya sitting next to them, and their gestures are the objects of imitation by the two. The two couldn't learn it after studying for a long time, and they couldn't help but feel a little lost. Wang Maoru's eyes looked over, and couldn't help laughing, Zhiya has undergone much etiquette training since she was a child, and she has developed an elegant temperament between gestures. He put down the wine glass and walked over, and whispered in the ears of Yu Zhuo and Yu Chan: "You don't want to learn, what you like is the aura on your body, you don't need to learn Zhiya, Zhiya has her temperament, you have your temperament, don't you?" Jade Zhuo, your beauty overshadowed the audience, and Jade Cicada, your Chu Chu touching touched the hearts of all men, you don't need to learn, you know? ”

After receiving Wang Maoru's praise, the two of them turned rosy, and Yuzhuo smiled happily and said, "Master, are we really so good?" ”

"Very, very, very, very good." Wang Maoru exaggerated affirmation, and the jade cicada lowered her head and pursed her lips and laughed.

Wang Maoru sat next to Zhiya and asked, "Zhiya, I'm sorry, I haven't had time to ask you about your hardships these days, so I need you to be my female companion, it's hard." ”

Zhiya shook her head and said with a faint smile: "This is what I should do, from now on I will be your person, and everything will be centered on Xiushengjun." The man is the sky, the woman is the earth, and only when the heaven and the earth are together will they be happy. I just don't know how the child is now, I'm worried about him. ”

"Don't worry, Mama Hu is taking care of you." Wang Maoru said, someone came over there, it was Gao Shibin.

Gao Shibin is also Meng Enyuan's nephew, and when another nephew, Gao Fengcheng, was overwhelmed, Meng Enyuan promoted Gao Shibin, a staff officer from the Army University, and entrusted him with important tasks. Gao Shibin married the fifth princess Wuren Tuya (Shuguang), and Meng Enyuan originally wanted to use his relationship to develop in Dongmeng, but was reconciled by Wang Maoru.

But it's always okay, and in this way, the two have become brothers-in-law.

Gao Shibin came to visit this time, and he also accepted Meng Enyuan's intention to test him, since it was a brother-in-law, Wang Maoru naturally greeted him with a smile.

"General Shangwu." Gao Shibin, like Meng Enyuan, is also a native of Tianjin, and he speaks Tianjin dialect, which is very joyful.

"Don't call General Shangwu, call me Xiusheng, I won't call you anything else, it seems that we are so estranged, isn't it brother-in-law?" Wang Maoru said with a smile, pointed to a young woman who was also wearing Mongolian women's clothes and was talking and laughing with Ulan Tuya, and asked, "That's the fifth sister, right?" I remember the last time I got married...... Now I'm blessed, haha. ”

"When a woman gives birth to a child, she will be fatter." Gao Shibin said with a smile, "I just added a big fat boy to my Gao family half a year ago, and this time I also took the opportunity to go back to my parents' house to have a look." ”

"Congratulations brother-in-law, congratulations brother-in-law." Wang Maoru said with a smile.

"Xiusheng, actually, I have something to ask." Gao Shibin suddenly said with a straight face.

Wang Maoru raised his hand, waved his hand, and said, "Brother-in-law, I know what you want to ask, so let's talk about it separately after that, what do you think?" ”

"Okay, that's for the best." Gao Shibin nodded.

Wang Maoru frequently walked among the guests, saluted and thanked everyone, walked to the representative of the Japanese Kwantung Army, and hurriedly said: "Governor Nakamura, your arrival has made this place shine, I hope you can stay longer, I don't know what Governor Nakamura wants?" ”

Nakamura shook his head and said, "Thank you General Shangwu for your kindness, but I'm already old, and it's time to retire." Let me introduce you to Lieutenant General Yujiro Nakamura, the next governor of Kanto. After attending your parade visit, it's time to change shifts when you get back. ”

"Your Excellency, Lieutenant General, hello." Wang Maoru nodded to him.

Yujiro Nakamura stood up and bowed and saluted: "Hello, General Shangwu, the Chinese god of war." ”

Wang Maoru hurriedly said: "Receiving such praise from the next governor, Xiusheng is sincerely afraid." ”

Yujiro Nakamura raised his glass and smiled: "Worthy, of course worthy, General Shangwu is the first person in China in terms of combat record and knowledge." ”

When Wang Maoru heard him say the word Zhina, his smile immediately turned into embarrassment, his heart chuckled, full of resentment, his face smiled dryly, and said quietly: "General Nakamura, Governor, you enjoy it slowly, I'll go over there to greet the guests." ”

Although he didn't show his anger, Wang Maoru's attitude was obvious, and after he walked away, Nakamura Satoru smiled and asked Nakamura Yujiro, "Nakamura, how do you feel this time?" ”

"Xiushengjun is a high-spirited person." Yujiro Nakamura immediately laughed, "I just tested the words for a while, and he got angry, it seems that the forbearance is insufficient." If you can't endure the suffering that people can't bear, it's hard to achieve great things. ”

"So, you're not going to support him?" Satoru Nakamura asked.

"Quite the opposite." Yujiro Nakamura laughed, "I want to support him, such a person has personality, character, and ability, just like the overlord of Western Chu." On the contrary, I don't like Zhang Yutingjun, who endures no matter how we try, he is too enduring, enduring humiliation, but with hatred. I saw something I didn't like in Zhang Yutingjun's eyes. ”

"What?"

Yujiro Nakamura said coldly: "Zhang Yutingjun's eyes are full of hatred, Zhang Zuolin is an opponent who is more difficult to deal with than Wang Maoru. ”
