Chapter 6 Chapter 4 I want you to show your heart

The appearance of the army called "Beiyang" on the Chinese territory should have started in 1895 when the Qing government ordered Yuan Shikai to organize and train the "New Army" at Tianjin Station.Because this new army is under the control of the Beiyang Minister. In 1901, Yuan Shikai served as Minister of Beiyang, so the army he built was called the Beiyang Army.During the Battle of 1911, the Qing Emperor abdicated, and the Republic rose. Yuan Shikai became the president of the Republic of China. The Beiyang Army he built became a military group that controlled China from the central to the local. Yuan Shikai died of illness in 1916. Because his Beiyang army was restrained by the imperialist countries in the East and the West, it was divided into the Anhui Faction commanded by Duan Qirui from Anhui, and the Zhili and Hebei Factions commanded by Feng Guozhang and Cao Kun. With the Feng family under the command of Zhang Zuolin, the three pillars of the Feng family stand together.As a result, China entered the peak period of the Beiyang warlords' melee. l920 In July 1920, in the Zhiwan War, the Anhui faction dispatched the Dingguo Army composed of five divisions and four mixed brigades, with Duan Qirui as the commander-in-chief; As the former commander-in-chief of the enemy, after four days of fierce fighting, the Anhui army was defeated, and Duan Qirui announced his resignation.The Beijing regime is shared by the Zhifeng and Feng families. In late April 1922, due to the unfair distribution of loot, Zhang Zuolin commanded four divisions and nine brigades with about 120,000 Feng troops, and he served as the commander-in-chief of the Zhenwei Army; Wu Peifu commanded seven divisions and five brigades There are about 100,000 direct troops, and I am the commander-in-chief of the direct army. The two armies started the battle from Changxindian.By early June, it ended with the defeat of Fengjun.At this point, the Beijing regime fell into the direct hands, opening the door for Cao Kun's presidential dream.

People who win the world always want to be big! Cao Kun was restless in the corner of "Baoding", and he wanted to occupy Beijing. However, Cao Kun did not overestimate himself. His direct subordinates were not united as one - when Cao Kun dreamed of being a "president" in Baoding, Wu Peifu went back to Luoyang to build his "Zhongzhou".Wu Peifu's belief is: Only when the world is unified by force can the world belong to it. "Buying the votes of parliamentarians with money is not stable."However, Wu Peifu saw through Cao Kun, knowing that he must be addicted to the president in a few days, and said that he could not convince him. "Let's go our separate ways for the time being!" So, the direct line team quietly separated Cao Kun's "Baoding faction" and Wu Peifu's "Luoyang faction".

Wu Peifu, who went to Luoyang, relied on the rich Zhongzhou to manage his armed forces wholeheartedly, dreaming of taking his own "armed unification-China" road.So, on the lintel of his study, he put up a new pair to express his love.Couplets of heart traces: Longquan Sword Slashes the Ocean of Blood Thousands of miles directly drive the Yellow River Yellow Cao Kun couldn't wait. A 60-year-old cannot wait any longer.After returning from Tianjin, I was in a very anxious mood. The brothers were all willing to pay for it. If you have money, buy (the president) quickly and it will be over.He secretly opened the safe in the secret room and took out a package of presidential seals secretly brought back from Beijing—he was reluctant to leave them in Beijing, and he really wanted to tie them all on his belt one by one.If he wasn't afraid of being insecure, he would definitely do that.In this way, whenever he entered the secret room, he would always open the safe, touch them one by one lovingly enough, and then carefully lock them up——touching them one by one again.Not only the dust, but also the cinnabar red clay of the printed text were all wiped out of the "pimples" that were shining golden light, although he hadn't used them to print any official documents.How eager he was to use them, it was the most glorious thing in the world.

After a while of "touching the president's big seal", Cao Kun still sighed softly and helplessly, then wrapped them up, put them where they were, and re-locked the door of the safe. "When will it be unlocked?!" After locking the presidential seal, Cao Kun felt that "we should do something practical right away."He walked out of the secret room and said to the attendants beside him: "You find Wang Yangyi, the deputy chief of staff, I have something urgent. Wang Tan, a man in his 50s is still a handsome talent, and he doesn't even keep the popular mustache. Although he holds the post of deputy chief of staff in the army, he seldom dresses up as a soldier. In the early years, he wore long gowns and hats, and sometimes carried a civilized stick, making him look like a gentleman; Breeches and a suit with buttons on the chest, there is naturally a pair of shiny leather shoes under the feet, the civilized stick is gone, and there is an extra briefcase. This man is young and vigorous, quick in action, quick in thinking, and good at talking. He is a well-known celebrity figure. Although he is not very tall in Wu Peifu's eyes - Wu Peifu's Confucian eyes criticize him for being flashy, saying that he is a playboy who only pays attention to grooming his appearance and has an empty stomach. In Cao Kun's heart, he is a "talent" with courage and strategy, a rare talent, and a trustworthy talent. In this way, in response to the saying "people are divided into groups", Wang Tan He became Cao Kun's guest and confidant.

Wang Tan came to Cao Kun, exchanged some greetings, and then sat aside, waiting for his commander-in-chief to "confess the mission". "Yang Yi," Cao Kun has always been straightforward to his generals. "I've only been busy in Beijing and Tianjin these days. I don't know how you're doing. See you, Datou Wu?" Wang Tan was startled and thought to himself: "You don't have any money, and you don't have a penny. How can I go about doing things? I've done things, but you are empty-handed and can't give you a penny. How can I end up?" Impatient, Sweat broke out on his forehead.He hurriedly took out his handkerchief, wiped it, and said, "Marshal, I heard that you have gone to Tianjin. I wonder how things are going there? Uncle and Fourth Master (referring to Cao Zhen and Cao Rui), what do they think?"

Wang Tanruan asked a question, and Cao Kun's heart suddenly turned cold, and his face suddenly became a little angry: "What are you talking about? If I want you to do things, can I still have money? Can the boss and the fourth child not listen to me? I If you do your duty, you will be done with what I told you!" However, this was just what Cao Kun thought in his heart, and it didn't explode.He knew that Wang Tan was a useful person, and now he had to win over him, use him, and let him work hard.He thought again: "But yes, it is difficult to intervene in such a thing if the money is not implemented. Empty words will give people a bad impression, and it will be difficult to take the next step. Yangyi's thinking is not bad." So, he took a breath and said: "Yangyi, you just need to rest assured about this point, the boss and the others will not support it, when to use it, and as much as you want. You just need to be at ease and bold to do it."

Wang Tan smiled. "Marshal, that's not what I meant." "Then what do you think?" Cao Kun asked. "I mean, do uncle and fourth master think they can do this kind of thing?" "No problem. They all say it can be done." "'That's easy to say." In fact, Wang Tan still thinks about money.He understands that spending money will most likely not be possible without the boss and fourth brother asking.Especially the fourth child, who manages a lot of money and manages it very strictly.Now, since the person in charge of the money is willing to pay, Wang Tan is still willing to do the handling of things, not to mention such a good job with a high reputation and fortune. "Marshal, don't worry, I will do my best for the big head. It's just..." Wang Tan said two big words, but left a "close".

Before Cao Kun had time to get excited, his heart tightened up. "How is it, there are still problems?" "Commander, I heard that 'Hefei' has colluded with Zhang Yuting (Zhang Zuolin's name Yuting), and they are discussing alliances with Sun Yat-sen in Shanghai. Probably there are related congressmen." Wang Tan's news is reliable, he didn't intend to scare Cao Kun. "In the past few days, congressmen have gone south one after another. It seems to be related to them, as if to seek refuge with them." "Is there such a thing?" Cao Kun was anxious.

"Yes." Wang Tan said, "The news is very reliable." "In this case, we have to act quickly." Cao Kun frowned and said, "Prepare the gift thicker so that they can be tempted. Try to stay." "Thick?" Wang Tan was taken aback. "How thick is it?" "How about three thousand yuan per person?" "In theory, three thousand yuan is not too little." Wang Tan knew that the Cao brothers had made a lot of money over the years, so he had to take this opportunity to catch him, so he said, "It's just that all factions are pulling people. A gift is always more insurance. From this point of view, handsome, look..."

"Yes, yes." Cao Kun was very generous, "You can figure it out." Then he said: "Especially for Datou, be sure to give a generous gift." "I understand. There has to be a certain amount." Wang Tan said: "Commander, I think so, the councilors are limited to 5,000 oceans per person, which is enough. Where is Datou Wu, give him a round number. what do you think?" "You said one hundred thousand?" Cao Kun glared. Wang Tan was startled: "Don't you think Cao San is too many fools? Cough, when is the time, you are still holding copper coins as a mirror!" He quickly said: "Big head, don't look at his ability. He has a seat. The members still listen to him. If there is less, I am afraid that he will not be able to move his heart.,,

"Yangyi," Cao Kun smiled. "I have always admired your courage. Why are you a little heroic today? Doing such a big event, holding one hundred and eighty thousand, not to mention that others are not tempted, we are not handsome enough. In this way, you take four hundred thousand first Go to the big head, and make up for it later.” "This... this..." Wang Tan was taken aback: "The old guy didn't spare any money!" He hurriedly said: "Marshal, with your intention, this matter is 120% sure. Then... I will do it That's it." With that said, he backed out. "Wait a minute." Cao Kun stood up and said, "Here are two (silver) bills. Take control first, and hurry up, so as not to have long nights and dreams." Then, he pulled out the drawer, took out the paper bag, and Take out two HSBC checks and hand them to him. Wang Tan didn't say anything to back off, he took it in his hand, and walked away with a smile. The determination to buy the president no longer wavered, Cao Kun really spared no expense.Once he was really going to lose his family, he felt that the family assets were too small and not enough-he was afraid that his success would fall short because of his small insufficiency.It is not as good as wide and narrow, and it is handy.Therefore, he wanted to do some work in the inner house, and asked his wives and concubines to help each other. "Sure enough, the event was a success. They are all characters in the palace courtyard. A little blood is not too much." Thinking this way, he walked out of the front hall and walked towards the inner house.For money matters, Cao Kun has racked his brains these days.In the past, no matter where and how much money was obtained from? All he needed was a wink and a gesture.For example, several large-scale payments are all like this: du8.com copyright ——The oil and water in the military pay was handled by Li Yanqing. Li Yanqing, 24 years younger than Cao Kun, was originally a boy in a bathhouse in Changchun.Cao Kun met him while taking a bath.At that time, Cao Kun had just been appointed as the governor of the third town. He was transferred to Changchun and often came to the bathhouse to take a bath.every shower.Always shouting and hugging, bluffing.Li Yanqing is a boy, about 20 years old, very clever and talented, every time he circles around Cao Kun, beats his back, pinches his feet, massages and kneads, making Cao Kun's whole body crispy.Soon, this Li Yanqing was taken by Cao Kun's side as an errand.When Cao Kun returned to Baoding from Changchun, he brought him back to Baoding, and married the daughter of a domestic servant to him as his wife.Li Yanqing crouched in front of Cao, earnestly kowtowed three times, and then said: "My lord, you have made a family for me, so I will entrust my life to you. I will take care of it in the future." You just have to tell me about it, I won’t even blink.” Cao Kun smiled and said, "What should be done is not to tell you what to do. You have to think with your clever little brain. Do you understand?" Li Yanqing nodded.Soon, he was promoted to adjutant.When Cao Kun served as the inspection envoy to Zhilu and Henan, Li Yanqing actually became the director of the military supply department of the inspection department.This little Li used his brain: "Master Cao asked me to take care of the military supplies, and all the food, clothing, housing and transportation of the army belong to me. I have to use my 'brains'!" For military pay, each division will deduct 20,000 yuan as a reward for the general, and the miscellaneous army will pay a little more, and no one will refuse.At that time, the regular army of the direct line had 25 divisions, and for this alone, Cao Kun's monthly "outside" income was 500,000 yuan.Cao Kun accepted the silver money with a smile, and said to Li Yanqing with a smile: "Xiao Lizi, you can do it. You can do it!" ——The issue of military expenditure, in the process of Cao Kun's fortune, using war to make a fortune has become his usual method.Let’s just say that in 1917, the resumption of the war, Duan Qirui appointed him as the commander-in-chief of the West Road Rebellion Army, and the task was for him to lead the third division from Baotou to Beijing.There were no battles during the march, and by the time he reached Beijing, Marshal Zhang Xun had already fled to the Dutch legation.His army was hardly more than a short march away.After arriving in Beijing, Cao Kun only winked at the Military Supplies Office, and the Military Supplies Office reimbursed Duan 600,000 yuan for the consumption of the Ocean War.Duan Qirui knew that it was "stuck", so he had to allocate the exact amount. ——The most bizarre thing is greed. In 1920, after the failure of the Anhui Faction in the Zhiwan War, when receiving supplies from the Anhui Faction, Cao Kun insisted on confiscating all the Northwest Frontier Bank run by Xu Shuzheng, a key member of the Anhui Faction. pillar.Someone reported: "How to deal with private equity capital of one million yuan in the bank, such as Wang Zhilong, Wang Yitang, Zhu Shen, etc., who are dignitaries of the Anfu Department?" … It’s different now, instead of taking money from the enemy’s side or the national treasury, but from the pockets of your relatives, you can’t cheat, cheat, rob, or plunder, you can only persuade them, you can only make them willing, Gao Happy.In this matter, I have to do it myself, and no one can replace it. Cao Kun entered the inner house and first walked to his wife Zheng's residence. Mrs. Zheng was Cao Kun's wife when he sold cloth.Now, he is also an old man who never stays out of the house.It is said that he burns incense and prays to Buddha three times a day, and does not care about anything else.It's just that this Mrs. Zheng has an extremely kind heart, and she is also generous in housework.Therefore, whenever the concubine and the children had any unresolvable matters, they would always come to her and let her discuss justice.Mrs. Zheng didn't ask about money matters, not even about her own food and clothing.Cao Kun walked outside her door and stopped to listen. The room was quiet, the door was closed tightly, and a light smoke with a strong scent of rosin drifted through the crack of the door.Cao Kun simply didn't want to go in. "She doesn't have much savings here." Cao Kun basically knows the "private houses" of wives and concubines.As far as he knew, Mrs. Zheng did not ask for money all her life.Although the 200 hectares of wased rice fields in Xiaomachang in Junliang City outside Tianjin were purchased in the name of his wife, they have been managed by his wife's older brother Zheng Dagan.This Uncle Zheng Dalang is another character who eats early in the morning and doesn’t ask for noon, and can spend five with three dollars. In recent years, he has stopped “slapping” Cao Kun. Cao Kun is already thankful, and he will ask them for more money , Cao Kun frowned and shook his head - he didn't call the door for his wife, he just stood outside the door for a moment, and then left. Leaving his wife's house, he suddenly thought of his second aunt Tai Gao. "Oh, if only she didn't die. She'll help me." The second concubine is Tai Gao, a lady from a famous family in Tianjin Wei, who is good at playing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.Cao Kun married Cao as his wife when he was battalion commander.After she got married, she found out that Cao had a wife, so she was depressed, gave birth to only one daughter and passed away.After Gao's death, Cao Kun knew that she had brought a huge dowry, but returned it to her natal family because of depression.For this reason, Cao Kun always has deep nostalgia.Therefore, even though she was gone, he still set up a special house for her, where only the widowed lady Xi and the nanny lived; and because Cao Kun loved Shixi very much, he always came to look after her.Today, when I came to the house for money, I felt sad, and hurried away without stopping. The residence of the third wife, Chen Hanrui, is a small building completely westernized. It looks just like her, handsome and handsome. There is a tall and dense poplar tree outside the door, with palm-sized broad leaves. The sound of "哗哗啦啦", the cheerfulness of this sound is also the same as the third aunt's personality—— Chen Hanrui, a native of Dagu, Tianjin, is the hometown of Cao Kun, and the Chen family is also a wealthy Dagu businessman second only to the Cao family.It is probably because the patriarch of the Chen family decided to marry his beloved daughter to him when Cao Kun was transferred from Changchun and Changtu in the northeast to Beijing and Baoding in order to find a backer or a "bodyguard" for the property, willing to be his concubine.At that time, Cao Kun was already 50 years old, his face was full of wrinkles, and there were silver threads on his temples.And Chen Hanrui is just 20 years old.When this beautiful girl with a high heart and good poetry and painting skills heard that she was going to marry a fool 30 years older than herself, she burst into tears and cursed: "If I don't marry him, I won't marry him even if I die. Who doesn't know Cao Kun is one of the three idiots in Dagu Town, a prodigal son, fearful of all five poisons; the Cao family is also a local family who commits all kinds of crimes, blackmail, extortion, and property seizure. How can I marry such a person? , marry such a family?" The girl's innocent heart was hurt, and she would rather die than marry. The head of the Chen family had other ideas.Grandfather and father snuggled up beside Hanrui, rubbing their teary eyes, persuading them, saying: "Girl, I don't know if I marry you to Cao San, idiot, I put flowers on the pile of cow dung. But, what can I do? In Dagu Town, we are no match for the Cao family. One day, the Cao family stretches its claws towards our Chen family, and our pots, pots, chickens, cats, dogs and rats are all gone. My daughter, don’t think you’re marrying a man. Think of it as an exchange for a loyal bodyguard and a watchdog for the Chen family! Can't we ask him to watch over our house and keep our gold and silver treasures for us? Be the savior of the property. On the day you marry, half of the Chen family’s property will be given to accompany you.” The elders said while crying, one by one. When Han Rui saw it, her heart turned cold - this girl was also educated and reasonable, with a little heart.While weeping, he thought: "Yes, it is not easy for the Chen family to have the wealth they have today. Generations of people have sweated and bled, worn stars and worn moons, and lived frugally. It would be a pity if they were snatched away by the powerful. As The descendants of the Chen family, who can not cherish this family property? I sacrificed myself to keep the Chen family's ancestral property, I will marry, I will marry Cao Kun—the three fools." Thinking of this, he rubbed his eyes and said yes The parents around said: "Don't cry, don't beg, I just marry the Cao family." "My daughter agreed to marry?" the family members asked together. "I agree." Chen Hanrui said: "However, I have to make a condition. If I agree to my condition, I will remarry; if I don't agree to my condition, I will not marry until death." "Say it, you can agree to any conditions." "You tell Cao Kun that I want to have a face-to-face conversation with him. If the conversation is successful, I will marry him; if the conversation is not good, I will have my own way to deal with him." "What are you talking about?" Dad was worried. "A girl's family, what can I talk to others about?" "Father, don't worry, I have my own opinions on what I want to talk about." The family agreed.Passing the word to Cao Kun, Cao Kun smiled: "What a girl, how dare you talk to a man about the conditions before leaving the cabinet! I want to see what conditions you have and how to negotiate?" So the two families met, and they met This special negotiation was held in a large restaurant in Tianjin. Cao Kun pretended to be simple, as if he was on a blind date. Chen Hanrui is neither shy nor shy, and is generous. After the two sat opposite each other and looked at each other for a moment, Cao Kun spoke first. "Miss Chen, if you have anything to say, please tell me." Chen Hanrui nodded with a smile, and said, "I heard that you asked a matchmaker to propose to my family. I wonder if there is such a thing?" "There is such a thing." Cao Kun said. "I don't know whether you are proposing to the Chen family with the official position of the third township, or the in-laws of two ordinary families who are well-matched in Dagu Town?" "This..." Cao Kun was stunned for a moment, and quickly said: "Since they are all from the same people in the village, of course the two families are the best for Qin and Jin." "I know you are married, and you married a concubine, who died. Cao Chen married Qin Jin, and I am at most just your concubine, concubine. I don't care about it. I have to ask you, would you When I marry, should I treat each other as a loving couple or as a servant, a daughter?" "Of course it is a relationship between husband and wife with affection and intention, and there will never be any discrimination." "Is it the truth?" "You can confess to God." "Okay, I'll remember." Chen Hanrui said: "Then, when I come to Cao's house from now on, I have to ask for freedom in terms of family status, money, contacts, and hobbies. Of course, I don't do whatever I want, but follow the rules. Follow the new rules of life in a democratic republic." "It's absolutely fine!" Cao Kun also said: "You have arrived at Cao's house, and I will invite you to participate in social activities as my wife."——In fact, Cao Kun has no choice. She left too early and married the Chen family, so it's natural for her to show up. ...Everything went well, and Chen Hanrui became Cao Kun's third concubine. Ten years passed in a blink of an eye, and during the ten years, Cao Kun really doted on her very much.Always treat her as a lady.Mr. Chen had a daughter and later gave birth to a son.This is Cao Kun's only son. Cao Kun was 57 years old that year, and he had a son at the age of 57. In addition, the direct army conquered Yuezhou. Double happiness came, and he was very happy.So it was named Deyue.For Cao's son, Chen Hanrui naturally became an important woman, and financially, she also had a lot of money.Let's talk about the Northern Aviation Company of the fifth brother Cao Jun. Chen Hanrui has one-tenth of the stock capital. In addition, Chen Hanrui also invested 100,000 oceans in Tianjin Dahua Fuel Company; The Cao family's nine pawnshops in Tianjin and Baoding all have large shares of Chen Hanrui; in addition, Cao Kun also bought her a residence in Yuanguo's Mansion in Beijing's Tan'er Hutong for 30,000 yuan.Among women, Chen Hanrui had already become the richest man. Cao Kun stopped outside the small building for a while, then went upstairs. Chen Hanrui, who has just arrived in the "Erli" year, is dressed in fashion, and even her hair is cut to match her ears.When Cao Kun arrived, he quickly stood up, straightened his sky-blue cheongsam, and took out a pink handkerchief from his right armpit. Wiping his lips lightly, he said, "Hey! What's the wind today, why not?" Are you here please?" du8.com copyright "I miss you, Ma'am." Cao Kun said, "How about I come and see you?" "I don't believe it." Chen Hanrui turned his face away, only gave him a back view, and said: "You have so many important things these days, and a group of capable people can't help you. Will you come to see me when you have time?" come to see you. Cao Kun said: "By the way, there is also a little matter, and I want to discuss it with my wife." " "Let me tell you. Are you serious about small things that need to be 'discussed'?" Chen Hanrui said, "Let's talk, whether it's big or small, I'll listen to you.I can do it for you. " Cao Kun smiled and told the truth about the plan to donate to the councilors to win votes.He also said that he wanted to embezzle some money from her, and then said: "This money is only temporarily borrowed for use. Once the big thing is done, there will be enough money in the treasury, and it will be easy to pay you back with a few profits. What's more , by then, you guys will all be the masters of the palace, what do you want? Think about it." Chen Hanrui smiled. "I knew about you a long time ago, and if you were willing to hide it from me, I also pretended not to know. You told me today, and I told you sincerely, you can do whatever you want, I don’t have any money. " "Madam's words are too far away." Cao Kun said: "If I become president, what is your status? You don't need to tell me. If you don't pay money, is it harm or benefit? You also know. If you don't pay money , I don’t force it, so don’t blame me for not having you when I reward you.” After finishing speaking, Cao Kun got up to leave. Chen Hanrui hurriedly turned around and smiled. "Yo, before you sit on the throne, you put on airs. You go, I won't force you to stay. However, I have to say something up front. My son will never take the title of 'Prince'. It depends on your pass. For whom?" Cao Kun turned around, took her hand, yelled "be nice" for a while, and said, "I don't use your money for nothing. I know you have money. Besides, Dagu just moved three Five million won't be too difficult. Please help me, madam." "Let's talk about it at that time, there is no more or less, you have to show your heart." "I'll just thank my wife first." As he spoke, he was intimate with her for a while before walking downstairs. " The next place to go is naturally the "villa" of Fourth Aunt Liu Fengwei. Liu Fengwei's living room is also a unique small building.However, there are no poplar trees in front of the building, but a flower garden full of colorful rose flowers—Fengwei likes flowers, especially roses, saying that it is short in stature, without arrogance, with several or single flowers, or Crimson or reddish or white, they are always so suitable; she especially likes the pinnate divisions on the edge of the sepals of rose flowers, saying that they are the soul of flowers! In addition, rose flowers bloom for a long time last year, and the whole body is full of medicinal materials .Therefore, when she has free time, she always picks up leaves and petals in the flower garden for medicinal purposes.When Cao Kun came to the building, he saw Feng Wei walking around the flower garden again.Knowing that she was picking petals or leaves, he wanted to see what new fun she had? Feng Wei was bored sitting upstairs, and wanted to practice the song, but he couldn't get interested.So, I went downstairs, wanting to chat with Rose.The rose flowers are newly blooming again, fresh and delicate, with a strange appearance and a strange color, and the dark musk is charming! "Ah. No wonder people call you the 'Queen of Flowers', which is nothing but a reputation!" Thinking and watching, Unexpectedly, he quietly recited a poem about rose flowers in seven rhythms that he didn't remember who it was: It is only said that flowers are red every ten days, and this flower is spring breeze every day.Yichen has peeled off the rouge pen, and the four are broken like emerald velvet.Don't have a fragrance beyond peaches and plums, but also in plums and snows. Happy New Year's Eve, Forget that this morning is winter season. "Good poem, good poem! Good sound, good rhyme!" Cao Kun shouted loudly and walked towards her, clapping his hands gently. Liu Fengwei's expression tightened, and he turned to see the old man, and said angrily, "What are you doing here, why don't you even say hello, and just secretly listen to someone reading poems?" Cao Kun said with a smile: "My home, my wife, wife, what else do I need to say hello to? Reading poetry is a pleasure, and you are afraid of being overheard?" "Not serious!" Saying that, Liu Fengwei withdrew the rose petals in his hand towards Cao Kun.Scattered all over his face. "You're not busy outside, what are you doing here?" Cao Kunfu threw the flower petals all over his head and said, "I missed you all of a sudden after finishing my outside business. I came to see you." "Look at me?! What are you looking at me for? Still that ugly?" Cao Kun took Liu Fengwei's hand and walked into the small building together.Since the unpleasant listening to the music that day, Cao Kun never came to this small building again, and Liu Fengwei also ignored him in anger and refused to go downstairs.She knew that Cao Kun doted on her far more than the third concubine Chen Hanrui.Therefore, she is proud and confident, and feels that the old man will not alienate her, and he will come to her.Now, he really came.She acted like a baby, and she didn't want to talk to him, so she went back to the building, deliberately turned her back, and didn't look at him. Seeing him like this, Cao Kun smiled and said, "What's the matter, little thing? Are you angry with me?" He said and pulled her into his arms, "I'm fine today, I want to listen to a song, you can sing a song for me." let me listen. "" Don't sing. "Liu Fengwei said without turning his face. "You are fine, I am busy." " du8.com copyright "What's the matter? I don't even sing songs." "It's just that I don't like singing." "Don't be angry, sing a song." "Let me ask you, where have you been these few days? Why can't you even see a shadow." Cao Kun didn't want to hide it from her, so he briefly talked about his trip to Tianjin and the "big things" he had with Wang Tan and Wang Yuzhi, and then said: "I'm exhausted, and you're still angry. Don't you lie to me again." , I am suffering even more." When Liu Fengwei heard that it was a big deal, he burst into tears and laughed. "I blamed you, Mr. Cao. You are not to blame, Mr. Cao, I will apologize to you." Saying this, he gave Cao Kun a "Fu". "Sing a song." Cao Kun hugged her tightly. Liu Fengwei didn't break free, leaned into his arms, and sang softly: Deep red apricot flowers.Calamus shallow buds.Spring is getting warmer.Bamboo fence hut sprinkles flag forks, after the rain, a wisp of cooking smoke slant... "Okay, okay. Stop singing, stop singing." Cao Kun shook his hand and said, "I have business to discuss with you." "Business? Discuss with me?" Liu Fengwei was surprised. "Is there anything you want to discuss with me?" Cao Kun simply talked about the money, and then said: "I don't want you to use the money to do big things, but everyone will pay for it." It’s not good if you don’t come out. Don’t be afraid of more or less, if you do, it’s considered to be dedicated to this matter. That’s what it means.” When it comes to money, Liu Fengwei is guilty of thinking—— To be honest, this little girl who entered the Cao family at the age of 16 really doesn't care much about money.No matter big money or small money, you spend it as soon as you get it, and if you don't have it, someone will give it to you, and you never want to accumulate any accumulation.After marrying Cao Kun, she lived in a pile of money, and sometimes she couldn't think of how to spend the money. Once, she led a maid to change clothes and went to the market. When she was interested, she asked a fortune teller.The fortune teller looked at her delicate and elegant appearance, and flattered her a few words, saying: "Look at your dress, you look like a servant; look at your noble face, you must be a first-class lady!" Liu Fengwei was very happy, and immediately took out one hundred yuan to pay the fortune teller. However, Liu Fengwei was unwilling to intervene in Cao's various businesses. It was Cao Kun who favored her and made private savings for her, so she invested 100,000 yuan in Quanli Chengbuzhuang on Tianjin Beima Road. item does not.I heard that Cao Kun bought another 800 mu of land for her somewhere. The land deed was given to her, and the land rent was collected by her. She only entrusted someone to manage it.Among the wives and concubines of the Cao family, she is considered the poorest.So, when she heard about the money, she frowned and smiled. "Master Cao, you are not joking with the little girl, are you? You know it best, you know how much meat I have. This is exactly what the sentence in the book says, 'The warehouse mouse stores food for the crow—— It's hard to fly if you keep it." Cao Kun said: "I can't make things difficult for you. At worst, I want you to show your heart. If you have such a heart, the tailoring is over. How can you insist on how much money you must pay?" "That's good," Liu Fengwei said generously. "At that time, if you tell me what I can come up with, Dun will definitely give it. My lord has become the president, and I have a clear conscience when I am appointed." "Thank you, darling, what I want is your heart!"- Cao Kun still wanted to stay in the small building for a while, but at this time, someone came to report: "Deputy Chief of Staff Wang Tan asked to see him, saying he has urgent business!" He left in a hurry.
