Chapter 79(1/2)
The Vicious Stepmother of the Republic of China (14) Asking for monthly votes
Ma Yong's adjutant, whose surname is Dong, is younger than Ma Yong and has been with him for more than ten years.
After all, Adjutant Dong is still a distant relative of Ma Yong's hometown.
Publicly and privately, Adjutant Dong hoped that Ma Yong could live a better life.
"Commander, this is a good marriage."
The daughter of a textile manufacturer has drunk foreign ink, can speak foreign languages, and can have some friendship with foreigners.
And those of them who serve as soldiers are indifferent to those foreign adults.
In addition to being relatively powerful, you can also buy weapons and medicines through foreigners.
It is definitely for the good of the commander that the warlord can propose such a marriage to his commander.
It is not in vain that his commander is loyal to the governor.
"A good marriage? Haha, not necessarily!"
Ma Yong was not as optimistic as Adjutant Dong.
He is indeed uneducated, but he is self-aware.
He is thirty-six years old, tall, dark-skinned, tall and thick-set.
At best he looks like Zhou Zheng, but he is still illiterate.
Counting up my family, I have been a mess for several lifetimes.
Apart from knowing how to fight, and having a thousand guns in his hand, he has no other advantages.
She is a young lady from a wealthy family, and she is a foreign student who has studied abroad. She is quite old and looks good, so why should she marry him?
I'm just afraid that there is something wrong with this young lady.
Even if there are no shortcomings, if she reluctantly marries him, she will look down on her.
Rather than marry such an aunt and have the little ancestor come back to support her, he would rather not marry her!
Inexplicably, a red and swollen pig-headed face flashed into Ma Yong's mind.
In other words, Ma Yong thinks this Ms. Gu is more suitable for him.
They are all married for the second time, and they are not from wealthy families.
But if someone is smart and can read and write, the key is that they won't look down on you.
As a warrior who leads troops in battle, Ma Yong has an intuition as precise as a beast.
He has a feeling whether others are kind or malicious towards him, whether they are being hypocritical and conciliatory, or whether they are treating him sincerely.
That Mr. Gu has a scholarly air, but he doesn't have the false aloofness or seriousness of a rotten scholar.
...Ma Yong couldn't describe it, he just felt that Gu was the kind of truly noble scholar!
"Commander, you are right!"
After listening to Ma Yong's words, Adjutant Dong pondered for a moment.
He glanced at Ma Yong's expression and said cautiously, "To be honest with you, Commander, after receiving the telegram from the military governor, I quietly called a few brothers in the provincial capital to inquire."
Ma Yong raised his eyebrows.
Seeing Adjutant Dong's hesitant look, he had reason to suspect that there was indeed something wrong with the young lady introduced to him by the warlord.
"Mom, you're a bitch. If you fart, just let it go. Why do you care about me in front of me?"
Ma Yong was the most relaxed in front of him. He opened his mouth and cursed a few words.
Listening to Ma Yong scolding himself, Adjutant Dong became more relaxed.
He knows his commander too well.
The commander scolded him for treating him like one of his own family members.
If the commander kicks him, he will be even happier, because the commander treats him as a brother.
"Hey, I can't hide anything from the commander."
Adjutant Dong licked his face and laughed a few times, then he leaned into Ma Yong's ear and lowered his voice and said, "Brothers in the provincial capital said that the daughter of the Chen family is the daughter of my wife."
Ma Yong understood, oh, she turned out to be a concubine.
Calculating my age, when I gave birth to this child, I was still in Qing Dynasty.
The status of concubines and concubines is not high.
"My wife also has a biological daughter. The serious master who went to study in the country where the sun never sets was also the legitimate daughter."
"My wife was worried, so she asked Miss Chen to follow her."
Adjutant Dong put it more tactfully.
Ma Yong understood it.
Haha, what kind of foreign students studying abroad?
In fact, she is just a girl who accompanies the young lady to study.
Saying this to the outside world now is just to raise the status of Miss Chen.
Ma Yong estimated that with the Chen family's behavior, Miss Chen would not be able to study seriously if she went to the country where the sun never sets.
In ancient times, this was just a companion reading.
Serving others is the main thing, and learning is secondary.
Smart people may take the opportunity to learn more.
But for those who are more stupid, they may have just traveled around a foreign country and may not even know where the foreign schools are.
"As for Miss Chen, she can speak some foreign languages. Her legitimate sister married a young governor and gave her half of the textile factory as a dowry."
"The Governor is very satisfied with the Chen family. I happened to hear that there is such a sister in the family. She looks pretty decent, mainly because she is of the right age, so I would like to introduce her to you."
Adjutant Dong continued to chirp.
Ma Yong frowned slightly when he heard this.
Looks passable?
Tsk tsk, my mother is a concubine who serves people with sex, but my daughter is mediocre in appearance.
And at this age——
Yes, she is the elder sister. She must have been relatively older when she was chosen by the wife of the family to accompany her legitimate daughter to study abroad.
After all, you are too young to take care of yourself, so how can you serve others?
The young governor is twenty years old this year, and his wife should be about the same age.
It can be deduced from this that the Miss Chen who accompanied me was in her twenties at least.
At such an age, in this era, she would be considered an older leftover girl.
No wonder the Chen family is willing to marry her to a big boss like themselves.
"...After all, it is the warlord's will."
Ma Yong has weighed this matter several times in his mind.
He decided to go take a look first.
Not to mention anything else, just having studied abroad and being able to speak foreign languages made Ma Yong's heart flutter.
As Ma Yong became the commander, he also raised a team himself.
It is easy to recruit troops and raise military salaries, but the issue of weapons is troublesome.
This time he made a lot of money in this small county, enough for him to buy hundreds more guns.
It's a pity that he doesn't know foreigners and can only buy it through the warlord.
On the surface, he calls the warlord "big brother, big brother, short brother" every day, and the warlord is kind to him.
The two looked like brothers.
But in fact, the warlord has always been a person who believes in "favors are favors, and business is business."
You can buy weapons through the warlord, but you must give benefits to the warlord.
After taking the profit from one pass, Ma Yongshao said that he would lose 23/10 of it.
Just like that, Ma Yong still wants to remember the favor of the warlord——
If you are not a "brother" and you give others benefits, they may not be willing to help.
These days, if you have a gun in your hand, you are a master.
And the one who can get weapons is the uncle.
Ma Yong also wants to be an uncle, and he dreams of establishing good relations with those foreigners.
To be continued...
