Chen Zehang returned to the villa and just lay down on a lounge chair under the shade of the backyard. A man in a military uniform came over with the documents, "Young Marshal, Jizhou has heard news."

Chen Zehang took it and saw that the Northeast Army and the Japanese Army were unable to fight under the pressure of the great powers. Although Chen Zehang felt regretful, he also knew that this was the situation. The great powers of various countries did not want wars in the Far East, which was not in their interests.

The man waited for him to read the information and then reported: "Young Marshal, the Marshal will accept the eighth concubine in five days."

Chen Zehang raised his eyebrows. His father is really strong. He only accepted the seventh concubine three months ago. He accepted the newcomer so quickly. "Who can you take?"

"The beautiful red of the Four Happiness Class." The man replied.

Chen Zehang was stunned at first, and then asked with a sneer: "But my second brother arranged it?" The Yanhong was the little actor that the boss was promoting, and was about to be included in the mansion as the fifth concubine. Now he became the old man's pillow. I wonder if the boss would vomit blood?

"The young man is wise." The man said with a faint smile on his lips.

"What did the boss do to repay the second brother?" Chen Zehang asked.

"The eldest young master is investigating the empty salary in the army." The man replied.

"Boss is planning to kill everyone in one place, and he is not afraid of being angry with the public." Chen Zehang sneered sarcastically. He also knew that the army was empty salary, but the water was clear and there was no fish. Before he completely controlled the Hudong Army, he could only tolerate the existence of these borers. The direct line he commanded did not allow this situation.

"Do you want to arrange a car to take the young marshal back to Lin'an?" the man asked.

"No." Chen Zehang would not change his itinerary for such a small matter. It is imperative to buy weapons.

When Chen Zehang tried his best to kill those half-brothers and racked his brains to eliminate the war crisis, Yan Zihui, who had resolved the war crisis, was also finding a reasonable reason to go to Shanghai City. Although the Northeast Army and the Shanghai East Army had never fought, some generals on both sides were still alumni and classmates, and some were even relatives, his identity was too sensitive.

After seeing the news from the intelligence personnel, Yan Zi smiled and said, "The Chen family is really lively." Although his illegitimate brothers were not at ease, Yan Governor Yan's clear attitude of the legitimate and illegitimate wife was suppressed by his elder brother Yan Zikang, so he dared not do anything randomly.

Chen Zehang had ambitions, but unfortunately he was not strong enough. So he asked him to help him. Yan Zi replied to close the documents and said that I had a business to interview him."

"Yes." Xu Jin took the order slightly.

Chen Zehang, who received the telegram, was as deep as water, "I want to discuss business with me and come in person. What does this Yan Xuanling want to do?"

"Young marshal, I heard that when the Northeast Army and the Japanese Army were fighting, they seized a lot of weapons and ammunition. Will Yan Xuanling come to talk to you about this?" Sun Guangyuan speculated.

Chen Zehang thought for a while and said, "Although we have never been hostile to the Northeast Army, we will always fight in the future. It is such a stupid thing to increase the enemy's strength. Yan Xuanling should not do this." He never thought that he would go back to the river and rule with Yan Zi, and that China could only have one monarch.

"The Northeast Army is equipped with Citi's guns, and I'm afraid I look down on the weapons and ammunition of the Japanese army." Sun Guangyuan analyzed.

In this way, it seems to make some sense, but when they think that even the weapons of Japan in the northeastern land were disgusted, they had no way to buy them, they felt a little subtle. Chen Zehang threw the telegram to the side and said, "No matter what conspiracy he wants to do, arrange personnel to protect him, don't let the Japanese take advantage of it, let the Northeastern army find an excuse to swallow our Shanghai East Army. When they replied to him, they said I welcome him to Shanghai East to discuss business."

Sun Guangyuan went down to send a telegram in a good mood.

Yi Huan didn't know that Yan Zi was coming to Shanghai. In the evening, he gathered in the living room of the villa with Lu Lu and others, having a relaxing and enjoyable time, but Xu Nuode did not forget the purpose of their trip and decided to write a poem to visit the island.

Facing the sea, spring is warm and flowers blooming. This poem has been used once, and it cannot be used anymore. Yi Huan can't rise again. There are still some famous modern poems about islands. I can only think about writing a poem by myself, "The sky is blue and boundless, the coast is winding and soft, trees are swaying nearby, and the sea and sky are embracing each other in the distance. The sunset is magnificent, the sea breeze is warm and gentle, and birds are passing by in the light and shadow, elegant and agile. Children are following the footprints of the sea in the waves... The sky is so clean, the sea is so clear."

Yi Huan felt that he was not very good at writing, but Cheng Lu read the poems so emotionally that she felt creepy. Lu Lu asked again: "Auntie, do you really not read literature when you go abroad?"

"Don't read." Yi Huan rejected her proposal again.

"Auntie, this is really a pity." Lu Lu spread his hands.

"It's better to study literature abroad." Yi Huan smiled.

Lu Lu shook her head, "I won't read it." He quickly walked away. Yi Huan looked at her back and smiled sweetly.

After two days of playing on the island, everyone took a boat back to the city. This time, they didn't meet Chen Zehang again. I don't know if he went back to the city first or stayed on the island. However, this has nothing to do with Yi Huan, so she wouldn't ask more questions and care.

When he returned to the Lu family, Feng Xiaoxiao asked a few questions and knew that they were having a good time, so he felt relieved. After dinner, Lu Jingting said seriously: "You siblings have been playing for so long, and it's time to go back to school to study." Yi Huan had to wait until May 19 before boarding the boat. You can't let Lu Lu and siblings take leave to accompany her.

When Lu Lu heard this, her smile disappeared, and she looked like she was struck by lightning, "I don't want to go to school, I want to accompany my aunt."

"I've gone to play all the places I should play. You can go to school, you don't have to accompany you." Yi Huan said with a smile.

"Auntie." Lu Lu shouted with a sad face.

"If you don't want to go to school, then go on a blind date and get married." Feng Xiaoxiao let out a desperate knife.

Lu Lu's mouth twitched, "Then I'll go to school."

Yi Huan and others covered their mouths and laughed secretly.

When she was a guest at other people's house, Yi Huan was very conscious of being a guest and did not cause trouble for her owner. She basically didn't go out, so she stayed in the room to read and write, and only came out to eat when she was having a meal. After two days of boredom, Feng Xiaoxiao felt embarrassed and felt that she had neglected the guests. "Little sister, the wife of the Belgian Minister's wife will hold a salon tomorrow. You go and play with me." Because China split into several governments, the embassies in various countries in China were a little chaotic, and some countries sent two or three, such as the Belgian Embassy in China and the Japanese Embassy in China, not only in Jizhou, but also in Shanghai, but also in Jinyang. Of course, some countries only sent to the governments that are good friends.

"Oh." Yi Huan replied obediently. She can be willful at home. If she doesn't want to go out for social events, she won't go out. It's not possible here. Who told her to be a guest? She wants the guest to follow the host's wishes.

The next afternoon, Yi Huan and Feng Xiaoxiao went out to the concession. The buildings in the Shanghai Concession were in the style of the world. Unfortunately, although the scenery was beautiful, it did not belong to the Chinese. This is the world of foreign devils. Looking at the blonde and blue-eyed foreigners walking on the road, Yi Huan sighed lightly.

The car soon arrived at the Belgian consul's residence. As soon as she got off the car, she saw a small car coming over. Yi Huan felt the license plate look familiar, but she couldn't remember when she had seen it. It was not until Chen Zehang and Liu Bingqun got out of the car that she remembered that she had seen it on the street.

Chen Zehang also saw Yi Huan. Today, Yi Huan was not wearing an old-style dress. She was wearing a lotus-colored dress with ankles and a belt. Her waist was slender and her long black hair was braided into two loose braids and tied behind her head. She lacked a bit of classical charm and added a bit of fashion, but she was still very beautiful. Chen Zehang frowned slightly, "You are a beauty, why are you a thief?"

"Mrs. Lu, Miss Yi, good afternoon." Chen Zehang took the initiative to say hello.

"Hello Mrs. Lu, Miss Yi, we're meeting again." Liu Bingqun said with a smile.

"Good afternoon, Young Marshal, Bingqun is here to attend the salon." Feng Xiaoxiao smiled flatteringly.

Yi Huan lowered his eyelids and said, "Good afternoon, Young Master Liu, Good afternoon."

A man who looked like a housekeeper led them in. Chen Zehang, Liu Bingqun, Feng Xiaoxiao and Yi Huan entered the living room, and Zhou Zhennan and Chen Zehang's entourage stayed in the side hall for tea. Several people had gathered in the living room, seven foreigners and five Asian faces.

"Xiaoxiao, you are here." A wife who is about the same age as Feng Xiaoxiao greeted her.

Feng Xiaoxiao saw her and smiled and said, "Dingxiang, you are back."

"I came back before." Dingxiang is the wife of the deputy mayor of Shanghai City. She was absent from the Lu family because she was not at home when she went out. When she saw Yi Huan following Feng Xiaoxiao, her eyes lit up, "Xiaoxiao, who is this?"

Feng Xiaoxiao and Dingxiang had a good relationship. When they saw her like that, they knew that she remembered her precious son. She sat down next to her and smiled: "This is my sister-in-law of Lanting's sister-in-law, Yi Huan, the fourth lady of the Yi family in Jizhou."

Dingxiang's eyes faded, and she was a poor person. Although she could discuss her own things, Feng Xiaoxiao would definitely not want to be shorter for no reason. Chen Zehang's eyes moved slightly. Is the Lu family really not knowing her identity when they helped her like this, or is the Lu family also a nail that someone else had put in Shanghai?

Feng Xiaoxiao took the opportunity to introduce Yi Huan, "Little sister, this is today's master, Ronina, the wife of the Belgian consul, Valerie, the wife of the French consul, Salice, the daughter of the head of Citibank's Shanghai City, and Mr. Ronald, the deputy editor-in-chief of the Times." She didn't know another foreign woman.

Ronina immediately responded: "This is Eresa, a female reporter from the Frankfurt Daily."

Yi Huan said hello to them one by one. In addition to Dingxiang's known identity, there was one of the five Asian faces. Judging from her salutation, Yi Huan knew that she was a Japanese. Sure enough, Ronina introduced, "This is Matsuzaki Sakurako, the wife of the Japanese Consul."

The two young men and one woman are: Wang Mayu, the eldest daughter of the deputy chief of the Finance Department, who is also Wang Jiayu's sister, Fang Lingyun, the son of the famous doctor Fang Yiling in Shanghai, and the young painter Xue Zhifo. Wang Mayu and Fang Lingyun have an engagement, and the two sat together and talked lovingly.

Liu Bingqun often attends such salons, and everyone knows that Chen Zehang is the young marshal of the Shanghai East Army and a celebrity, so there is no need to be deliberately introduced. Feng Xiaoxiao was pulled by Dingxiang and sat together. Yi Huan casually found a chair to sit down. Chen Zehang sat down on the chair next to her. When he saw Yi Huan's eyes and nose, he looked at his heart, behaved and quiet, his eyes flashed slightly, and when he stretched out his long legs, he touched Yi Huan's feet, Yi Huan was shocked and hurriedly shrank in.

Liu Bingqun moved a chair to Yi Huan's left, "Huanhuan, we have a fate to meet each other, we meet again."

Yi Huan pursed her lips and said nothing. Liu Bingqun continued to make noise in front of her, and invited her to dance, go for fun, etc., which made Yi Huan very annoyed and said coldly: "We are not familiar with each other, please call me Miss Yi."

Chen Zehang frowned slightly. As an intelligence officer, it is impossible for him to know Liu Bingqun's identity. Is she playing hard to get?

"We have met twice and become familiar with each other, and we are acquaintances." Liu Bingqun's face is thicker than that of the city wall.

Yi Huan frowned and shouted, "Sister-in-law, what are you talking about?"

Feng Xiaoxiao then realized that Liu Bingqun was pestering Yi Huan, and her face was slightly dark. Liu Bingqun's reputation in Shanghai was not good. If Yi Huan suffered a loss, she would not be able to explain to the Yi family, "Bingqun, although Yi Huan is older than you, she is younger and it is the first time she has participated in a salon. Don't bully her. Can Mrs. Matsuzaki ask you to give her a seat?"

"Hi." Sakurako Matsuzaki stood up with a smile.

Feng Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "My sister is here, Dingxiang wants to go to Jizhou. Come and tell her what places are worth visiting in Jizhou."

Yi Huan sat over, and a sharp light flashed in Chen Zehang's eyes. Lu Jingting's wife was really defending her. She didn't know how many intelligence personnel from other factions were hidden in the Shanghai City government. It seemed that it was time to clean up. This Shanghai City was about to become the world of intelligence personnel.

Some people came in one after another, including men and women, and those who had seen them at the dinner last time, and they had never seen them. Everyone chatted freely. After a while, the guests arrived, and the servants brought coffee and tea. Ronina put a record on the phonograph, and soothing light music sounded in the living room.

After chatting about recent experiences and some new things, Ronina began to guide the topic. Everyone turned to literature and painting. The wife of Mexican Consul Salice obviously liked the young painter Xue Zhifo very much, and intended to help him become famous in the literary and artistic circles in Shanghai. She opened the paintings brought by Xue Zhifo, "Let's appreciate it. This is Mr. Xue's new work this year."

However, most foreigners do not know how to appreciate Chinese ink paintings, and there are several Chinese-language levels that can only communicate daily and cannot say more. Therefore, they only looked at it a few times without expressing their opinions. Yi Huan thought his paintings were pretty good and said: "The method of drawing is simple, the brushwork is delicate and has a clumsy taste, the tone is soft and cold, and the style is unique."
