Episode 23 Planning
Xiang Xiaoqiang and Xiu Xiu's family came out of the train station. Surrounded by a large number of reporters, they got into several cars that came to pick them up and drove away. Most of the reporters did not have cars and were left outside the train station. But
, and several well-known reporters from major newspapers. The boss equipped them with cars. They immediately jumped in the car and followed Xiang Xiaoqiang's cars and watched where they drove. In addition, many reporters gathered at the People's Guard Headquarters
Everyone nearby is speculating on what kind of luxurious residence Commander Xiang, Her Majesty the Queen's most loyal minister, will use to settle his mother-in-law.
Unexpectedly, these reporters watched helplessly as these vehicles filed into the headquarters and never came out again.
Reporters all speculated: Could it be that the commander wants to place his mother-in-law in a simple dormitory?
After a while, a junior officer came out with a leather bag under his arm, as if he was going out to do something. The reporters immediately recognized him. He was one of the guards who had been guarding Commander Xiang all the time. Judging from his military rank, he was still a guard platoon leader. Several
The reporters gathered around and asked Commander Xiang where he planned to place his mother-in-law and brother-in-law, and whether they would live in a dormitory. The reporters all understood that Xiang Xiaoqiang’s mother-in-law was not just the commander’s mother-in-law.
She is still the woman who had an affair with Prince Shang back then, and her news value is quite high.
Hu Jiong was hesitant at first and reluctant to say anything, but later he said "with no choice but to do so":
"...I don't know, I guess I just live in the dormitory... It depends on whether the old lady will stay. If not, I might live in the dormitory... Haha, even Mr. Xiang, we still live in the dormitory..."
The reporter is very interested in the last sentence. Since Xiang Xiaoqiang became a general and became famous, many media want to find out where he lives, and then send paparazzi to guard him. But there are so many people coming and going from the People's Guard headquarters every day
God knows which car Xiang Xiaoqiang is sitting in. Everyone guesses that Commander Xiang is probably like Princess Liaoyang, living in some mysterious and unknown mansion.
Now the guard who was addressing the commander "randomly said" a sentence, which immediately caused the reporters at the door to explode. They rushed to ask:
"Does Commander Xiang really only live in the dormitory?"
"Commander Xiang doesn't have a house yet?"
"Will you still live in the dormitory after marrying Commander Xiang?"
Hu Jiong was surrounded by reporters and seemed very uncomfortable. He also realized that he had "blinded his words". He shook his head repeatedly, said no more, asked for a rickshaw and drove away.
Xiang Xiaoqiang, the youngest general of the Ming Dynasty, the first imperial celebrity, and the commander of the People's Guards, actually does not have his own house! The income of senior officials of the Ming Dynasty is extremely high. For officials of Xiang Xiaoqiang's level, there is no one who does not live in a mansion or villa. But Xiang Xiaoqiang
They also live in the dormitory like junior officers. The commander lives in the dormitory, so needless to say, the two wives-to-be also live in the officer's dormitory. This is really newsy.
But this matter was not at the level of a public announcement. The reporters took out their notebooks one after another, stood there and wrote the story, then tore it off and asked their assistants to send it back to the bureau, so that they could catch up with the evening newspaper in the afternoon.
Hu Jiong went out for a walk, bought a few things for Xiang Xiaoqiang, and came back through the back door of the headquarters. Then he happily went to see the commander and reported to him the reporter's reaction.
Xiang Xiaoqiang is leading his mother-in-law and brother-in-law to arrange accommodation. He has arranged a suite for each of them in the headquarters guest house. The female soldiers below are cleaning up and packing their luggage. Xiang Xiaoqiang is showing them around and following
The mother-in-law apologized:
"I really feel wronged by my mother-in-law... It's all my fault that my son-in-law has been an official for so long and has been busy without bothering to look for a house... Haha, it's nice to live in a dormitory to patronize a bachelor... Now it's...
We’re getting married, and it’s still like this, it’s really…”
Shang Xiaojun smiled and nodded, but she was very satisfied with his simple style. She knew how many pairs of eyes her son-in-law was staring at now that he was in this position. Regardless of whether this simplicity was a gesture or not, it was better to have this gesture than nothing.
Much. She smiled and said:
"No grievance, the conditions here are much better than where we usually live... Now that you are in a high position, you are so simple, which is rare... Haha, Xiaoqiang, don't worry, if you still live in the dormitory after getting married, I will definitely let Xiuxiu
Stay in the dormitory with you."
Xiang Xiaoqiang smiled and said:
"How can that be done? How can I let Xiuxiu stay in the dormitory with me... I said I won't treat Xiuxiu badly. I have already asked people to look for houses. Fortunately, now that the war is over, real estate is very cheap. It should be a few
You can buy it within a few days.”
Qiu Qiu also came to join in the fun happily and took the initiative to help Xiu Xiu's mother pack her luggage. Seeing Qiu Qiu suddenly appearing in front of her mother, Xiu Xiu was a little embarrassed, and Xiang Xiaoqiang was also a little embarrassed. This is Xiu Xiu's mother, Qiu Qiu came
Joining in the fun, isn't it a bit... But Shang Xiaojun liked Qiu Qiu's appearance very much. He hugged her with a smile and asked questions lovingly. Only then did Xiang Xiaoqiang remember that Qiu Qiu had visited Shang Xiaojun at Xiuxiu's house.
They have known each other for a long time. Moreover, when Shang Xiaojun was ill, Qiu Qiu paid for her treatment. Shang Xiaojun must know this.
Alas, but their identities are different. At that time, Qiu Qiu and Xiu Xiu were just classmates, but now they are two women who share the same husband... Shang Xiaojun loves his daughter very much...
At this time, Hu Jiong saw the opportunity and stood in front of him. Xiang Xiaoqiang looked at Hu Jiong and asked:
"Going out? Did you tell me everything?"
Hu Jiong nodded. Xiang Xiaoqiang confessed to his mother-in-law, and then went to the corner with Hu Jiong and listened to what he said to the reporters and their reactions. Xiang Xiaoqiang was very satisfied and patted him on the shoulder.
, nodded and smiled:
"Very good, I knew it would be okay to leave this matter to you. It seems that you have chosen it just right, and the effect is much better than if I said it myself... Well, it's just a show of poverty. After all, you can't live together after getting married.
Dormitory, that’s too pretentious. Okay, you go ahead, it’s a good job!”
Hu Jiong saw that the master wanted to accompany his mother-in-law and brother-in-law, so he resigned. He was overjoyed. Just as he expected, his status would be different immediately after returning from this trip. The master began to treat him as a confidant.
…
Xiang Xiaoqiang arranged for Xiu Xiu and his daughter, and asked Qiu Qiu to accompany them. Firstly, it was rare for Qiu Qiu to be enthusiastic, and secondly, since Xiu Xiu was not with him, Xiang Xiaoqiang could not bring Qiu Qiu with him.
Xiu's mother is watching here. This mother-in-law is so powerful...
Since they "mothers" can get along harmoniously, it is the most rare thing. Based on Qiuqiu's sincere character, it would be best if Shang Xiaojun likes her. But Xiang Xiaoqiang doesn't dare to think too much. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have never been together.
They are natural enemies. Now this is worse than the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. One wife and the mother of another wife, alas...
Xiang Xiaoqiang returned to the office. He immediately summoned his confidants and held a small meeting to understand the situation in the past two days. First, Yuhuacong manager Zhang Fushan misappropriated property and falsely accused Xiang Xiaoqiang. The case was judged, and Zhang Fushan was sentenced.
Ten years in prison.
"Well, what do you think?"
Xiang Xiaoqiang looked around at his subordinates. Anyway, after hearing the verdict, he felt uncomfortable and did not have the pleasure of complete victory. Although Zhang Fushan was the executor who framed him, he was instigated by others after all, and now he is also a proxy
Got it.
Shi Shi Ge Ge looked at everyone, then looked at Xiang Xiaoqiang, and said with a smile:
"We had a discussion yesterday and we all thought it would be more appropriate for you to come forward and ask His Majesty to pardon Zhang Fushan."
Xiang Xiaoqiang understood immediately and understood exactly what he meant. To be honest, he couldn't bear to see this poor man imprisoned for ten years. Zhu Yourong couldn't bear it even more. However, even if Zhu Yourong wanted to pardon him, no one proposed it first
It is too exaggerated to ask that an ordinary company manager who commits a crime can be personally pardoned by the Queen.
Now Xiang Xiaoqiang and the Queen are asking for a pardon, which is different. Xiang Xiaoqiang is the victim in this case, and he is asking for a pardon for the perpetrator. In the eyes of the public, he is showing his magnanimity, repaying evil with kindness, and gaining popularity for himself. It is not very out of the ordinary.
.Furthermore, he is a recognized loyal minister of the Queen, and Zhu Yourong is recognized as a kind figure, so it is reasonable to agree to the pardon.
Xiang Xiaoqiang was very grateful to Shi Shigege for coming up with this solution for him. He nodded:
"Well, Her Royal Highness the Princess is right. It is indeed appropriate to do this. I will tell Your Majesty about this when I enter the palace tomorrow."
Then Li Gensheng reported on the preparations for the expansion of the Mobile Corps. The People's Guard has established an expansion office, which Li Gensheng is directly responsible for. A detailed first-phase recruitment plan is now being prepared. The second batch of 150 tanks allocated by Her Majesty the Queen yesterday
It has arrived. In addition, a large number of auxiliary vehicles and artillery have mostly arrived in Nanjing. Now the mobile team is busy receiving and organizing them.
Then, Li Changgui reported on the "reform" of the Imperial Guard. Li Changgui had followed Xiang Xiaoqiang's instructions and "conspired" with Tumache to replace a batch of the main officers of the original Imperial Guard with the National Guard Security Team.
officers. Then the headquarters of the Praetorian Guard was located in the headquarters of the People's Guard, and a floor was allocated to them in an office building. The headquarters of the People's Guard is very close to the palace, so this is perfectly fine.
As the highest officer of the Imperial Guard, Li Changgui's office is located in the headquarters. The senior officers of the Imperial Guard are usually also in the headquarters. However, the soldiers below are mainly on duty in the palace. In order to maintain firm control, Li Changgui
Like the control of the fourteenth grid, a "duty officer system" was also arranged. Two officers were rotated to the palace every day as the highest officers of the imperial guards in the palace, and any military transfer required the signature of two people at the same time to take effect.
Xiang Xiaoqiang deliberately let Li Changgui work in the headquarters to prevent him from being left outside for a long time and easily turning the Imperial Guard into his own. In this way, although Li Changgui was sitting in the headquarters, he could also keep the Imperial Guard in the palace firmly
The control is in the hands, that is, the control is in the hands of Xiang Xiaoqiang.
…
Below, Stomachache reports on the search for the commander's official residence. Stomachache has very efficiently found a house in Qinhuai District, a two-story building with a small courtyard. It is very quiet and located on Zhuanlong Lane.
Xiang Xiaoqiang didn't pay much attention at first, but he spread out the map of Nanjing and pointed there, and Xiang Xiaoqiang immediately leaned over. He found that Zhuanlong Lane happened to intersect perpendicularly with Scissor Lane, which was about only 10 meters away from Shifengge's mansion.
Walk for a few minutes.
He glanced at Stomachache meaningfully, and found that the latter was looking at him with a smile and attentively. Xiang Xiaoqiang felt something in his heart: He likes Shi Shigege, and this kid has noticed it? Otherwise, how could he be so smart again?
Did you buy a house so close to Shifengge?
Xiang Xiaoqiang hummed and praised a few words, and he was very satisfied with the cleverness of his stomachache this time. He could also see the stomachache, and he was very happy. He rubbed his hands gently, glanced at the others, and found that they
I didn't even see any clues, so I was even happier.
Then Snail reported on the preparations for the wedding the day after tomorrow. According to Xiang Xiaoqiang's requirement of "keeping everything simple", the wedding was not extravagant and the number of people was controlled within a hundred people.
Xiang Xiaoqiang only invited the Princess of Liaoyang and several senior officials from the Ming Dynasty military circles, including a few old men from the General Staff of the Sea and the General Staff of the Land, and of course, Wang Hantang of the Capital Garrison and Commander of the Army Aviation Li Guoliang, who followed him to Pukou.
Several group army commanders and some officers of the People's Guard. Of course, they also sent a courtesy invitation to Zheng Gongyin, asking him to come with his family. As for whether he came or not, it didn't matter.
Qiu Qiu has many relatives and friends. Qiu Laohu and his eldest wife are here, so they can be Qiu Qiu's parents. There are also several close relatives of his family and several hall masters of Tiandihui.
.Normally, these underworld bosses would never have the opportunity to talk to the top figures of Ming Dynasty. Now, because of Xiang Xiaoqiang, they can even drink together.
No one came to Xiu Xiu's side, only her old boss Jiang Mei Lu. Now that Xiu Xiu is married to Xiao Qiang and has completely integrated into the People's Guard camp, her Dongchang status is not that important, so Jiang Mei Lu doesn't matter.
Worried.
Several senior generals from the Yangtze River Fleet and the Submarine Force, as the old bosses of the two Mrs. Xiang, were also invited. Of course, there were also ten comrades from the original Grasshopper, comrades with good relations with the submarine force, and those currently in Nanjing.
All classmates from Naval University were invited.
In this way, there were only more than sixty people. Xiang Xiaoqiang put down the list, raised his head and said:
To be continued...
