by☆, beacon smoke 23
This year’s Spring Festival in Jinling City was extremely lively. Not long after New Year’s Day, the twelfth lunar month entered, and the firecrackers in the streets and alleys were put off from the 20th of the twelfth lunar month to the fifteenth of the first lunar month.As the new president opened the seal after the New Year, the official offices of the cabinet and the presidential office were moved from the capital to Jinling one after another, and there was a sudden uproar inside and outside the city.
The Kong family also became busy. Mr. Kong had been an official in the previous dynasty for many years. After retiring and returning to his hometown, he still had many friends from the same year in the capital. This time someone in the family who was an official in the cabinet came to Jinling to take up a post, so he naturally had to pay a visit.The old man had not interacted with anyone for a long time, and this reunion with old friends added a bit of joy to his gloomy face in recent days.
Yao Ji watched from the side and couldn’t help but feel relieved. If she was most afraid of upsetting anyone regarding her and Li Zheng, it would be Mr. Kong.The old man was a man of great importance. He was so angry that he refused to acknowledge his eldest granddaughter because Kong Yu insisted on studying abroad. Yao Ji had high hopes for him, but now she has a relationship with her nominal brother-in-law. Although she knew that this matter could not be hidden and could not be concealed, she still felt guilty and uneasy.
To her surprise, the old man did not call her over and curse her. When Li Zheng came to pay her New Year greetings, he even received her kindly. However, after Li Zheng left, he locked himself in the study and did not come out all afternoon.
After that day, he seemed to let go of the matter, and then his family received a telegram from Kong Yu. Kong Yu said that he originally wanted to come back to celebrate the New Year, but something happened at school and he was delayed. He also introduced his foreign boyfriend Paul in the telegram and said that he would bring Paul back during the Mid-Autumn Festival.
The old man didn’t get angry. He read the telegram with a complicated expression for a long time, and suddenly called Yao Ji: “Second Sister.” – Yao Ji couldn’t help but be startled. Since Li Zheng broke off the engagement, he has never said a word to his granddaughter.Yao Ji hurriedly stood up and bowed her head to listen to the lecture. He waved his hand to signal Yao Ji to sit down. He didn’t say anything, just some ordinary inquiries about how his studies were and how he was getting along with his classmates at school.Yao Ji answered respectfully, stood up and returned to the study.
Mr. Kong was standing behind the pillars, but he just came out: “I am not angry with you anymore. This matter is not your fault. If you want to blame it, it is also our fault. I must know it in my heart.” heIt was rare to have such a kind look on her face. Yao Ji couldn’t help but feel a sore nose. She lowered her head and said “hmm”, and then heard Master Kong say, “Times have really changed. Parents are not the ones who can decide such a big thing as marriage. It’s not the parents who can make the decision.”
It’s just that in this era of alternation between the old and the new, new waves are coming, but the old tide has not receded.The Li family still invited a matchmaker to come to their house according to the old rules, and the date set was the third day of the third month of the third lunar month to propose marriage.Because the Kong family wanted to keep a low profile, not many people knew about it, and Yao Ji only told Yi Qiu.
Yi Qiu was surprised and happy: “You are only seventeen, and you are going to get married now?” He then tugged on her sleeve and said, “Mrs. Marshal Li, you have such a prestigious name. Please invite me to play at Fengshan Villa in the future.”
Yao Ji nodded with a smile, and said she: “Don’t just talk about me. I know your family doesn’t control you strictly, but you still have to have a plan in mind.”
Having said this, Yi Qiu couldn’t help but feel a little frustrated. She hesitated for a while and then said: “I, I actually have someone in my heart…”
Yao Ji hurriedly asked who she was. Seeing that she was hesitating and looking extremely embarrassed, an idea suddenly occurred to her: “Could it be… that she is a senior?”
Seeing Yi Qiu nodding, she understood why Yi Qiu was so depressed.Yi Qiu is the eldest daughter of a rich family, and she is the only one in the family. Mr. Shen, Mrs. Shen and Mr. Shen love her terribly. Mo Jiaping was born in poverty, lost his father in his early years, and has only a widowed mother. With such a disparity in family circumstances, no matter how enlightened the Shen family is, they will not be happy for their daughter to endure hardship.
She could only comfort Yi Qiu: “Don’t worry, your family will probably not let you get married. There is still room for change in this matter.”
Yi Qiu was also a very optimistic girl. She cheered up and said, “You are right. He and I have discussed it. He will graduate this year and has decided to work in a newspaper. If he works hard for a few years, I think my father will not miss it.”
In the evening, Yao Ji went to the handsome man’s house for dinner, and she told Li Zheng about it. The Li family also had a rule of not saying anything before eating, but Li Zheng was too busy, and they had very little time to get along before marriage, so Li Zheng broke this rule by himself and just wanted to talk to Yao Ji more.he put down his chopsticks and thought for a while: “Mo Jiaping, he must be the president of Nanyuan Club.”
Yao Ji might as well know Mo Jiaping: “So the senior’s reputation is so big?”
“The last time Nanyuan Society went to the consulate area for a parade, there was quite a big fuss,” Li Zheng said lightly. “I heard that Mo Jiaping was really brave. They happened to meet the British ambassador’s car, and he threw the leaflets directly into people’s faces.” What he didn’t say was that the British ambassador was very angry about this and even sent a telegram to Li Zheng, demanding that those progressive students be punished.
Yao Ji couldn’t help but be speechless after hearing this. Li Zheng thought for a while and said, “I don’t mean anything else by saying this. It’s a good thing for you to engage in progressive activities, but propriety is also important.”
But what Li Zheng said is very difficult to implement.There are several left-wing radical students in Nanyuan Club. Although Mo Jiaping is the president, he cannot control them.Ours, besides, young students are prone to being passionate. After listening to what Yao Ji relayed, Mo Jiaping sighed: “Thank you Marshal Li for his kindness. I also know that doing this kind of thing is walking a tightrope. Not to mention, when Feng Changyuan was the president, the capital shot many progressive students. But speaking gently is a false proposition. If we don’t shout at the top of our lungs, those people will not listen to our voices.”
By late February, something happened.
Yao Ji did embroidery work at home because there were no classes at school that day.Because the Li family followed the old rituals, the Kong family also had to follow the rules. They decided on the required purses and Li Zheng’s underwear, all of which needed to be sewn by Yao Ji, stitch by stitch.She was splitting the silk thread into three extremely thin strands when she suddenly heard a commotion outside. Yi Qiu hurriedly rushed in, with a look of panic on her face: “Xiao Yao, it’s not good, it’s not good…”
“What’s wrong?!” Yao Ji quickly stood up and supported her.
“Senior He,” She cried loudly, “He was captured by the detective team!”

It was already late at night, and several electric lights were on in the room. However, because the study was so large, the green light shining on the carpet still looked dark.Li Zheng was sitting behind the table reviewing official documents when he heard three knocks on the door. It was so regular that it must be Jin Xian.
“Come in.” As soon as he finished speaking, the door opened. Jin Xian was holding a military report. In the cold winter weather in February, sweat was shining on his forehead. Li Zheng frowned and asked him, “What’s the matter?”
“Third Young Master…”
But before he finished speaking, the phone on the table rang. Li Zheng motioned to him to wait and picked up the receiver.Only a few people who were extremely close to Li Zheng could call this internal phone line. It was also late at night, and Jin Xian, who was originally anxious to get angry, couldn’t help but feel more and more uneasy.Li Zheng’s voice was as usual, and he said, “Don’t be anxious yet,” and then said, “I don’t know about this matter, I will ask someone as soon as possible, don’t worry.” He paused for a moment, and finally said softly, “It’s late, you should go to bed early and don’t stay up late.” – He just hung up the phone.
Jin Xian knew it was Miss Kong who called him. Li Zheng asked him: “Do you know that the detective team arrested a few progressive students?”
Jin Xian couldn’t help but be stunned. He is Li Zheng’s personal secretary. Although Li Zuo is the president now, anyone with a discerning eye knows that it is Li Zheng who is actually in power. Therefore, in addition to participating in the military affairs of the Huai Army, he also intervened in the affairs of the presidential palace. However, the detective team is not controlled by the Huai Army.
There are many factions in the cabinet, and not everyone is related to the Huai Army faction. Among them, the one who is least willing to buy into Li Zheng’s account happens to be Chen Lihai, the chief minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs – the police department is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Li Zheng saw he shook his head and said: “Forget it, you go and ask the detective team to release those students. I don’t think Chen Lihai will not give face to this small matter.” After handling the matter, he asked Jin Xian, “What were you going to say before?”
Jin Xian put the military newspaper on the table and said with a serious look: “Wu Yongping tore up the peace agreement. Half an hour ago, Yonggu was attacked at night.”
