Chapter 17 The most anticipated wedding

"Vivi, what's wrong with you?"

Bai Tiannan saw his daughter crying suddenly, and asked with concern, but he thought to himself: Is his daughter having anything to do with this Zhili Admiral Ye Zhikui?

Bai Weiwei wiped her tears with regret, forced a smile, pretended to be relaxed, and said, "Dad, what can my daughter do? I just suddenly sighed, just when I feel sad for a moment, Dad, you go out and let Weiwei stay alone."

Bai Tiannan knew his daughter and knew that Bai Weiwei was stubborn and stubborn. Even if she didn't want to say something, she would ask for nothing. She pretended to be indifferent, but said with some point of view: "Vivi, it's fine. You are the pearl in your father's hand. Even if the admiral of Zhili Ye Zhikui bullied you, telling her father that even if she pulled down this old face, she would seek justice for you."

As expected, Bai Weiwei's eyelids jumped slightly, but she didn't say anything. Bai Tiannan had no choice but to leave the room helplessly.

In the afternoon, Nie Shicheng was in a hurry to handle government affairs in the Supervisory Office. Due to the war, he had already lost a lot of things.

However, when he saw the imperial court dispatching Wu Yi's army to his name to assist Shandong in suppressing bandits and training Shandong's new army's telegrams and documents, Nie Shicheng couldn't help but sigh. It seemed that the imperial court had already begun to be prepared for Congyun.

"Governor, Lord Bai is asking for a visit outside the door." The officials of the Governor's Office came in and reported to interrupt Nie Shicheng's reverie.

Nie Shicheng put down the official documents, calmed down, nodded and ordered: "Come in quickly."

Soon Bai Tiannan entered the door and sat down. Seeing the official documents of the mountain pile and the exhausted governor next to him, Bai Tiannan had to say that he was a good governor.

He still admires the newly appointed Old General Nie and secretly admires him. He does not mention Nie Shicheng's great contributions in North Korea, but after the German lesson plan occurred, Nie Shicheng also handled it in time and did not give foreigners any excuses. Afterwards, he used a tough attitude to reject Germany's unreasonable demands, release innocent people, defeat the German army, and won unanimous praise from all over Shandong.

Nie Shicheng thought that Bai Tiannan had some business to discuss with him. After waiting for a long time, he saw Bai Tiannan saying embarrassedly: "Old Nie, my daughter is so willful and arbitrary in Jiaozhou Prefecture this time. Thanks to your secret care, I am grateful. I would like to thank you."

Nie Shicheng smiled peacefully when he heard this, and knew that Bai Tiannan had some other words, and said, "What a small matter! Besides, this child Weiwei is sensible and well-behaved, and I like it very much."

Bai Tiannan's old face was slightly red, unable to hide the worry on his face, and continued, "But since he returned to Jinan, the little girl has been depressed. She has not stepped on the front door and has not left the second door, and has become thinner and thinner. The subordinates are very worried. When asked about the reason, they refuse to say that they are my father. Thinking about it, they must have had some unpleasant things happening in Jiaozhou. If Mr. Nie knows, I hope he will tell you the truth."

It seems that Bai Tiannan loves Bai Weiwei's daughter very much, and she is willing to put down her old face and ask her boss about these private matters.

Nie Shicheng was speechless after hearing this. Of course he knew this clearly, but he just didn't know whether he should tell Bai Tiannan.

Without thinking for a long time, Nie Shicheng still felt that it would be better to tell the truth. As for how to solve the problem, it would be better to give him a headache during the day.

Nie Shicheng picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said with a smile: "The left and right are just some children's affair. In my opinion, the white niece probably fell in love with Congyun's nephew and suffered from lovesickness. I also persuaded her, but the effect is unknown. Now it seems that it is of no use."

What! The disease of lovesickness, Bai Tiannan was stunned, but he saw that his daughter was not thinking about food and was confused all day long. If this continues, it was really a disease of lovesickness.

Bai Tiannan leaned forward a little and asked in a somewhat anxious tone: "Is this really a matter? Why don't I know the news about my father?"

Nie Shicheng cursed inwardly, you, a father, are busy all day long, and Bai Weiwei will not take the initiative to tell you, you can know nothing, but he still nodded to show his affirmation.

Bai Tiannan sighed when he saw this, "What should I do? Ye Zhikui is about to get married, and he also married two of them at the same time. The little girl has no chance."

Nie Shicheng was surprised. Bai Tiannan didn't want to advise his daughter, but he thought about how to marry his daughter to Ye Zhikui. It was really pitiful to the hearts of all parents in the world.

Bai Tiannan saw Nie Shicheng's face was surprised and funny. When he understood, he couldn't help but smiled awkwardly and explained hurriedly: "Old Nie, you don't know the temperament of the little girl. This little girl is very stubborn. Once you decide it, it will be difficult to turn around, so the official can only say this."

Nie Shicheng was interesting to hear, and he smiled and said, "It's true that he has a father and a daughter. Look at Tiannan, you will still dare not give in to me in the future!"

Nie Shicheng is saying that Bai Tiannan insists on his own opinions on some official matters, and even does not retreat from him, the governor.

Bai Tiannan said proudly: "That's right, can my Bai's daughter be worse?"

However, thinking of Bai Weiwei's current state, her face turned down again and she asked, "Old Nie, you have to give me some advice. You have a close personal relationship with Ye Zhikui, right?"

Nie Shicheng joked calmly: "It depends on how you think about Tiannan. In my opinion, they are lovers and concubines. If you want to break them up, I just need to ask Congyun to write a letter of breaking up with friendship. But I can't guarantee how your daughter reacts. If you are willing to let it go, I have a way."

"Old Nie, Governor, you should stop being humble and magnanimous, come on." Bai Tiannan thought of his daughter's half-dead look, and felt that it was unreliable to break up. If his daughter couldn't think of her at that time, where would he find a place to cry?

Nie Shicheng said slowly, "Since Tiannan said that, I had to fulfill it. Fortunately, Congyun, a child, was very well-informed. Soon, Shandong Wuyi Army will send hydrogen balloons back to Tianjin. Then you can let Ling Yan follow him. In this way, the young people's affairs will be left to them to solve. No matter what the result is, I believe Vivi will not blame you."

Nie Shicheng decided to help Ye Zhikui. Bai Tiannan was talented and was the second-ranked figure in Shandong. If he could become a relative of the Bai Mansion, Shandong would take all the military and political power and help a lot of great things.

Nie Shicheng is upright and resolute, and he will not be bothered by others. From the moment he did not report to the court, he had already given up his heart and worked with Ye Zhikui. Moreover, Ye Zhikui said it is reasonable. Since he cannot be a loyal minister in his life for a hundred years, let me do my last effort for this nation.

Not to mention that Nie Shicheng and Bai Tiannan secretly conspired to help Bai Weiwei, but in Lu Zutang, Tianjin, the leader of the Boxer Regiment finally came up with a relatively reliable military rules and regulations, which were nothing more than some people who were not allowed to rape and plunder or kill innocent people at will.

Of course, the Boxers were still a very loose military alliance. It was impossible for them to introduce a president. On the one hand, no one had such prestige, and on the other hand, the court did not allow this situation to occur.

Seeing that the big thing was finally accomplished, Cao Futian couldn't help but smile that he hadn't seen for a few days, and then a senior brother came to report.

"Old ancestor, General Ye sent someone to send wedding invitations!" The eldest brother smiled.

Cao Futian was stunned and said, "General Ye, which General Ye?"

After saying that, he thought that there was only such a general Ye in Tianjin, and that he was about to get married, so he couldn't help but feel happy and asked in disbelief: "Are you talking about the Admiral?"

The eldest brother nodded quickly and claimed that he was.

Cao Futian was overjoyed and turned around to Mr. Wu, Lin Heier, and Liu Chengxiang beside him sighed and said, "The invitation was sent by General Ye, the admiral of Zhili, and we were finally recognized by the court."

Cao Futian's words were for reasons. The Qing court has always been imitating the Boxer Rebellion, and it is hard to explain it. The generals of the various provinces even looked down on the Boxer Rebellion. Those who are more kind will ignore them, and those who are more powerful will send troops to wipe out them.

Now that Ye Zhikui stands up and issues wedding invitations to the leaders of the Boxer Rebellion, it can at least represent that the court has begun to change its direction and be recognized by the regular army. It has a great significance and has a far-reaching impact on the development of the Boxer Rebellion.

The reason why Ye Zhikui dared to do this was that the princes and ministers of the court, Zai Yi and others were already making good comments about the Boxer Rebellion in the ears of Cixi, and Cixi began to decide to focus on pacification. Second, as the admiral of Zhili, Ye Zhikui could not ignore the Boxer Rebellion that appeared in Tianjin. Even if he pretended to behave, he had to ask Ronglu for instructions. Ronglu received a secret report from Cixi and immediately changed his policy and began to win over the Boxer Rebellion. Ye Zhikui's request happened to give him a chance, so he wanted Ye Zhikui to come forward to appease the Boxer Rebellion.

Of course, Ye Zhikui was desperate to ask for it, so that he could have an open relationship with the Boxer Rebellion. In this way, a simple wedding brought so many political purposes.

As soon as Cao Futian announced the news, it immediately caused the Boxer leaders to exclaim. It was Ye Zhikui's wedding. Who wouldn't want to go? Not to mention that he could take the opportunity to meet General Ye, even if he had a good relationship with other officials of the court, it would be very good.

Seeing that everyone was excited and rushing to the top, but because there were too many people and the invitations were limited, Cao Futian was helpless and had to select a representative from each Boxer Rebellion. Soon, Zhao Sanduo, Zhou Laokun, Zhu Hongdeng, Ni Zanqing, Zhang Decheng, and Monk Xincheng were selected.

With the help of landlords, the Tianjin Boxer Regiment suddenly occupied three places, namely Cao Futian, Lin Hei'er and Liu Chengxiang. Originally, Cao Futian wanted to invite Mr. Wu to go with him, but Mr. Wu smiled casually but refused. This made Cao Futian admire him very much. The military advisor was the military advisor. Looking at this demeanor, he was calm and calm, which was not comparable to ordinary people.

Only Mr. Wu smiled bitterly in his heart. Although he also wanted to attend Marshal Ye's wedding, it was not the time. He was sensitive to his identity and was better off showing up and not paying attention to his low profile.
