    ☆, beacon smoke 2

    As soon as Yao Ji went to school the next day, Yi Qiu rushed up to her and asked her: “How is it? Does your grandpa… know?”

    “Of course not,” Yao Ji said with a smile, “If the old man knew about it, would I still be able to come to school without hesitation?” There must be some family action, not to mention Mr. Kong, a remnant of the previous dynasty who has always been rigid. In the eyes of most people, participating in student movements is not something a lawful person would do.

    “I knew it,” Yi Qiu patted his chest, “Young Master Li is not that kind of person.”

    “What kind of person is he?” Yao Ji glanced at Yi Qiu with a smile.

    The girl couldn’t help but blush: “Of course he is handsome, capable, steady, and gentle…” He wished that all the praises in the world could be heaped on Li Zheng.Yao Ji knew that this was the fault of her best friend, who loved to be infatuated with handsome men, not just Li Zheng, but also the influential figures in the school, the elegant secretary of the city hall, and anyone whose appearance caught her eye, she would admire.

    That day she was giving a speech in the auditorium, and suddenly a group of soldiers rushed in. Everyone on the stage panicked.Yao Ji’s heart sank when she saw the leading man wearing a navy blue military uniform with bright spurs on his boots.However, Li Zheng glanced at her and waved his hands to the soldiers behind him. The group of people who had come with great force actually retreated quietly.

    Afterwards, the classmates in the club said that it was probably because Yao Ji was present. After all, my sister-in-law was arrested for participating in the student movement, and it would not be a good thing for Marshal Li if word spread.

    Yi Qiu met Li Zheng once and became obsessed with Li Zheng. He asked Yao Ji: “Your sister must be very beautiful too.”

    Yao Ji’s eldest sister Kong Yu is not only beautiful, but also a trendy figure in the Western style.She is the eldest daughter of Kong Xi, and for a long time the only child of the Kong family. She has been doted on since she was a child. Later, Yao Ji was born, and she still had to step back in front of this eldest sister.Unfortunately, Kong Yu ignored the old man’s obstruction and insisted on studying abroad. The old man was heartbroken, so he focused all his attention on his granddaughter.

    But this was a pain for Yao Ji. She was reincarnated when Kong Yao was born and completely participated in Kong Yao’s life, which made her have a very deep feeling for the Kong family.Therefore, Mr. Kong educated her according to the old-fashioned family education method. Due to the rebellion of the eldest granddaughter, he later became very strict. Yaoji accepted it all for the sake of her grandfather’s happiness.

    In the eyes of the Kong family, the second young lady was virtuous and gentle, a complete old-fashioned lady. Although she was admitted to Jinling University, she was at ease in school and never interacted with those unscrupulous young people.But in such a turbulent era, and full of advanced ideas from later generations, how could Yao Ji remain indifferent?

    This is the first time that she has been in troubled times. Although the current situation is still stable, there are powerful powers outside and warlords fighting inside. Yao Ji has felt this when she was in the boudoir. Later, she went to university and was inspired by the classmates around her. She joined the progressive youth group without hesitation, which was what Li Zheng called Nanyuan Society.

    Nanyuan Club is quite famous among students. There are ordinary students in the club from poor families, as well as young people like Yao Ji who come from big families. But no matter what their family background is, everyone has one purpose, which is to enlighten the people’s wisdom and inspire their hearts.Yao Ji devoted herself to this and ran around, but she did not dare to tell her family about this outrageous thing.Because she was cautious, the Kong family never noticed it, but now Li Zheng bumped into her. Although Li Zheng didn’t tell Mr. Kong, Yao Ji pretended to have this in her heart and couldn’t let go.

    Thinking of what Li Zheng said last night, she quickly grabbed Yi Qiu: “Don’t talk about it yet, the senior is here.”

    #
    Mo Jiaping listened to Yao Ji’s description and pondered for a long time. He is the president of Nanyuan Club and the person who introduced Yao Ji to join the club. He has always been a cautious and careful person: “Young Marshal Li is your brother-in-law. He specially reminds you that we can’t be careless. In this case, all activities will be stopped during this period.”

    Yi Qiu was still a little worried: “Would other people in the club have any objections?”

    Mo Jiaping said: “I will explain it to them.”

    When Yao Ji heard this, she couldn’t help but feel a move in her heart. She hesitated for a moment and said, “Senior, can you please… don’t reveal that the news was told to me by Li, my brother-in-law.”

    Mo Jiaping reacted quickly. Thinking of she’s consideration, he smiled and nodded: “That’s natural. Marshal Li has done us a big favor. I won’t cause trouble to him.”

    Since then, most of the activities of Nanyuan Club have stopped, and Yao Ji has also been idle.She studied traditional Chinese studies in college because Mr. Kong asked her to do so. The homework was not tight and she could learn easily. Now that she had nothing to do, she picked up the piano that had fallen down.This is the only trendy thing that the old man allows her to learn, but she doesn’t want to learn too much.The teacher in the music club also knew about her family situation. Later, Yao Ji was busy with Nanyuan Club and rarely participated in club activities, so the teacher didn’t say anything.

    She herself felt a little guilty, so she carried a few baskets of fruits over. The young people were chattering, and after a while they became familiar with each other. Teacher Lin came over and clapped her hands: “Okay, kids, let’s start rehearsing after we finish chatting.”

    Yao Ji also learned piano in previous lives. Although she didn’t practice for a few months, she picked up the piano again after playing only half a song. There were many piano practitioners in the club, but she didn’t come often, but her skills were the highest.Teacher Lin thought about it for several days and finally added her name to the list of people to perform at St. Paul’s Church.

    On the day of the performance, many celebrities and dignitaries came to the church. This was also due to the current situation. Although the nominal head of this huge country is the president, the warlords of various factions are fighting endlessly and do not obey orders. Instead, they each look for powers to support themselves to consolidate their power. St. Paul’s Church was funded and built by the Anglican Church of China, and the British were behind it.She was prepared in her heart and was not surprised when she saw Li Zheng.

    Li Zheng was wearing a suit today, a white shirt, a black tie, and two boat-shaped diamond cufflinks on the cuffs that shone brightly. He held a beauty in a vermilion cheongsam with silver threads in his arms. The two walked gracefully, and everyone greeted them attentively.Yao Ji was sitting behind the piano. Her fingers pressing the keys took a very short pause and then played without hesitation.

    He and the beauty sat down in the first row, next to Bishop Peter of the Anglican Church.Yao Ji knew that Li Zheng had grown up with a Western education. He had studied in England when he was young, and his English was naturally excellent. He sat under the stage, tilting his head and chatting in a low voice with Bishop Peter from time to time, not caring about the performance on stage.Yao Ji didn’t know if he had seen her, and she thought in her mind that it would be better to do less than to do more. What would it mean for her sister-in-law to bump into her future brother-in-law with another woman? After finishing the song, she asked her classmates to take her place and leave first.

    Just backstage, she was stopped. Li Zheng’s garrison captain—Yao Ji knew he was called Yu Cheng—was standing outside the stage, speaking in a gentle and kind tone: “Hello, Miss Kong. Third Young Master sent me to invite Miss Kong over.”

    She didn’t know what Li Zheng was planning, so she had no choice but to follow Yu Cheng out.The tall man stood in the yard, saying goodbye to Bishop Peter. The beauty next to him saw Yao Ji coming, took her arm out of Li Zheng’s arm, and faced Yao Ji: “Hello, Miss Kong.” Seeing Yao Ji’s confusion, she smiled slightly, “You don’t recognize me, I am the second sister of Dongting.”

    Only then did Yao Ji realize that she had misunderstood Li Zheng. He was the only son in the family, but he had two sisters. The eldest sister was married in Jinling. Yao Ji knew Li Zheng, but this was the first time he met the second sister.

    Li Shu was very talkative, and when Li Zheng came over, she heard she say: “I just came back from Shejiakou a few days ago, and I haven’t had time to invite Miss Kong to my house as a guest. I wonder if Miss Kong has time to enjoy her today.”

    She said it politely, so Yao Ji naturally had no reason not to agree. She looked up and saw Li Zheng frowning slightly: “Second sister, Miss Kong is still a student.”

    “It’s just a casual meal, what do you think it is?” Li Shu rolled her eyes at her brother, “If you are worried, just go.”
