Chapter 76 Li Family Drama

As the sound of the 'fake foreign devil' was clearly heard by everyone, the surroundings seemed to become quieter in an instant. There was no voice to speak, and even the breathing of the crowd was much lower.

The surroundings were quiet, as if time had stopped. From Zhao Dongyun's perspective, the old lady Li in front of him looked serious, but Li Jian and Li Ziquan on the right side looked slightly pale, and the corners of their mouths seemed to want to say something. There was a trace of panic and worry in her eyes, and several Li behind them The faces of the family have changed greatly. Whether they pretend to be calm or show panic, there is no normal person who keeps calm.

Even Lin Yongquan, standing behind Zhao Dongyun, frowned slightly. Obviously, he was very unhappy with the sentence 'fake foreign devil', because now he is wearing a full set of officer dresses, a command knife hanging around his waist and black leather shoes. His dress is just one more than Zhao Dongyun's. The others are the same.

This fake foreign devil is actually talking about him!

Although this is not the first time to be scolded as a fake foreign devil, in fact, since the new army period after Jiawu, Yuan Shikai's new army, which fully imitated the German army, has been scolded as a fake foreign devil by outsiders. It is inevitable to walk on the street and be pointed out by the public. It has been a long time. Zhao Dongyun and Lin Yongquan are used to being pointed behind their backs.

However, it is only limited to pointing behind their backs, but few people have the courage to scold them as fake foreign devils in front of them, but there is a first time in everything. Obviously, Zhao Dongyun and Lin Yongquan met for the first time today.

When Zhao Dongyun listened to the fake foreign devil, he began to frown, and then turned his eyes from Mrs. Li to the girl who was narrated.

During the period when he came in, Zhao Dongyun did not look at everyone like radar. In fact, he has maintained a slightly high and direct view since he came in. The reason is also simple. No one present is worthy of him to turn his head and move his eyes to focus on observation, saying rudely, although he has just talked with Many Li's family greeted him, but it is certain that except for Li Jian and Li Ziquan, as long as he turns around, he will never recognize him again.

For those passers-by who have no sense of existence, Zhao Dongyun has always been unwilling to waste even a little memory space for them. And in the eyes of others, there will be two feelings. The first is that he is a senior official of the imperial court and has the majesty of the superior. The second is that there is no one.

Obviously, there is a second feeling in the girl's heart.

Zhao Dongyun turned his head and looked at the girl. The girl is estimated to be 16 or 17 years old. She is just a middle school student in later generations, but in this era, she can already marry and have children. The face of the melon seed face is not so beautiful. If you want to buckle some adjectives such as charming, sinking fish and falling geese, it must be too much, but it also has a beauty that conforms to the public's aesthetics. There is a trace of perseverance in the bright eyes. Instead of Zhao Dongyun, he bravely greets it.

Just under her brave face, it can be seen that her neck is slightly red. Although the chest under her shirt is not big, it is obviously full of tension. The light blue water-patterned skirt under her shirt has been covered with embroidered flat shoes under her feet, but Zhao Dongyun pays attention to it. She is not wearing high-sole bow shoes, but obviously a footless one.

The woman's senses are **. Maybe she found that Zhao Dongyun's eyes were looking at her from top to bottom and stayed on the feet under the skirt. She subconsciously retreated, as if she wanted to shrink the pair of feet back into the skirt.

In this era, although some Han daughters are no more entangled, most of the women in the nobles, especially in the families of scholars and doctors who have strict etiquette, most of them still have entangled their feet. In the big family, only the etiquette is not strict, and those who have no tutor will let their daughters go. Of course, the daughters of small families and ordinary families More without entanglement.

There is no comment here on whether it is good or bad, but that people think and do it in this era.

The Li family is obviously the kind of rich and unteaching businessman's family in the hearts of contemporary people. This is not wrong them. For example, on today's occasion, the Li family invites Zhao Dongyun and Lin Yongquan. According to convention, even if they watch plays and listen to music after drinking and eating, it is impossible for a group of female members of the Li family to appear. It is even more impossible to sit and watch a play and listen to music together.

This behavior may be open to future generations, but it is a corrupt custom in modern times.

However, these are only the views of Lin Yongquan and other contemporary people, but have no impact on Zhao Dongyun. The etiquette of this era is dispensable for him. If it is useful to him, take it and discard it if it is useless to him.

To talk about etiquette, Zhao Dongyun married Fang Ruolian, a Catholic, and a nun who grew up in a Western-style environment. She didn't know what three virtues and four virtues are, let alone Fang Ruolian's heavenly feet.

At the beginning, several elders of the Zhao family also opposed the marriage. As a result, Zhao Dongyun directly kicked back the children and grandchildren who sent the old stubborn people to ask for errands back to Xuzhou, they all shut up obediently, and then brazenly continued to beg Zhao Dongyun for a good future for their children and grandchildren, but at that time they never dared to Relying on old and selling old in front of Zhao Dongyun.

Zhao Dongyun shook his head secretly at the Li family!

However, at least he is also a third-grade member of the court. Naturally, he will not turn against a little girl. At this time, he still looked at her with a smile. At this time, Li Yujian has come over and said with a panicked face, "Lord Zhao, forgive me. The little girl is used to beating Ono. I will compensate you for her!"

After saying that, he also shouted in a low voice: "Why don't you apologize to Lord Zhao!"

The old lady Li next to her is not an ignorant woman, but also knows that if she doesn't give Zhao Dongyun a step down at this time and lower her posture, I'm afraid things will be big.

Immediately said to the girl beside her, "Wan'er, why don't you tell Lord Zhao no!"

The girl named Li Wan was quite brave at the beginning, saying that she was a spoiled lady or naive, but today, only she dared to look directly at Zhao Dongyun's eyes. However, this kind of bravery did not last. Originally, Zhao Dongyun's heart was a little fright, and he also regretted that he didn't speak through his brain. Now that he gave Li Jian and Mrs. Li such a drink, the courage did not know where he had flown. Tears in his eyes were spinning, and his red lips opened several times to say I apologized, but I haven't been able to speak.

Although Zhao Dongyun, as the third-level member of the court, the upstart of Beiyang and the leader of the Third Mixed Association, is young, his status has led to a very different mentality that of other peers. At least he will not give up his figure and a spoiled little girl.

From beginning to end, he didn't say a word, not even a cold hum representing dissatisfaction. He just glanced at Li Wan, and his expression changed slightly, as if the person concerned was not him, and he was more like a theater.

After an extremely embarrassing count of breaths, Zhao Dongyun also knows that it's time to appear by himself. He can't keep embarrassing the scene. At present, he said, "It's naive and frank to make love, but he has said what many people dare not say!"

This sentence has a self-deprecating meaning, which means that I agree with the fake foreign devil! Because Zhao Dongyun doesn't think this word is very derogatory. In modern times, those who are called fake foreign devils generally wear suits, leather shoes, bald heads or short hair. Most of these people are eye-opened and try to seek new young people, most of whom are international students.

Zhao Dongyun laughed at himself in his heart when he was not qualified to be scolded as fake foreign devils.

Li Wan faced the sword-like eyes of her grandmother and father and brother. The brave heart just now had long disappeared. The tears were already on the edge of her eyes and would fall down at any time. At this time, she whispered after hearing Zhao Dongyun speak, "It's my rudeness."

Zhao Dongyun didn't care, turned his eyes away, and then walked to the main position under the stage, but Lin Yongquan, who was behind him, stared at Li Yujian and his son fiercely. This moment reminded him of one day in Baoding two years ago.

I remember that after he came back from the governor's mansion with Zhao Dongyun, he was also instructed and scolded as a fake foreign devil by passers-by, so that they rode directly in the downtown to vent their depression. Two years later, Lin Yongquan once again felt that insult.

Li Yujian secretly complained in his heart, what's the matter!

In order to have a relationship with Zhao Dongyun, I sent a compound to Zhao Dongyun to stay and be the third mixed headquarters. Today's banquet is also to make friends with Zhao Dongyun, but why is it different from what I imagined? Seeing that Zhao Dongyun is not successful, I will offend him.

Looking at the face of Lin Yongquan, Zhao Dongyun's direct subordinate, Li Yijian can guess that it is difficult to do this matter today.

While screaming in his heart, he led Zhao Dongyun and the way, accompanied them to the front row. At the same time, he also winced his wife Li Jiangshi and asked her to quickly take out the trouble-making daughter out, so as not to make any more trouble. He has already decided that he can no longer spoil her. This Once you must severely punish her with a long memory. There are always no big or small to offend people. I'm afraid that she will be taken back when she gets married in the future.

Although Zhao Dongyun was a little unhappy with what happened just now, it was not a big deal. It was far from making him angry, so he still sat in the main seat. After casually turning over the play, the troupe invited by the Li family went on stage to perform.

Taking advantage of the opening of the play, Li Jiangshi, the wife of Li Jian, has quietly taken her daughter Li Wan out of the yard. After taking her out, she could faintly hear Li Jiang's low accusations. Li Wan lowered her head and left, knowing that she had made a mistake, but on the other hand, she also felt very wronged and endured for a long time. The tears finally fell down, drop by drop on the road, as bright as crystals.

The troupe has been leaning on the stage for a long time. Zhao Dongyun didn't listen to what he was singing. He didn't feel anything interesting when he saw them swinging around. He just fell into a drowsy state.

After most of the day, he sighed. When the little girl scolded him as a fake foreign devil just now, he was not very angry. At least it would not affect his judgment on business, but watching this scene made him more and more boring. This not only made him feel wasting time, but also difficult for a moment. Don't rush to make this extremely difficult play. I want Zhao Dongyun to show Li Jian a good face.

After struggling to survive the play, Zhao Dongyun quickly got up and planned to leave. Naturally, Li Yijian did not dare to stop him. However, when he saw Zhao Dongyun get up and left, he seemed to have a bad expression. At this time, he didn't know that Zhao Dongyun was bored because of the opera. Instead, he thought that his daughter had offended Zhao Dongyun just now.

Looking at Zhao Dongyun and Lin Yongquan leaving in a hurry, Li Yujian's face was also extremely ugly. He looked left and right at a large group of people. Now he wants to scold everyone, but he doesn't know who to scold. Finally, he shouted: "A bunch of bastards!" The Buddha left!
