The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

Chapter 64 Preparing for the Wedding
There were many guests who came to help out, most of them were ladies from wealthy and powerful families. They were probably instructed by their husbands and fathers to go to the Governor's Mansion to show their faces and curry favor with their boss.

The purpose is not to please, but these means must be used to achieve the purpose.

Hai Huixin couldn't help curling her lips and whispered, "There are so many flatterers."

Flatterer?
You make it sound like the three of us are so noble, but aren't we all here to pay our respects to Mr. Zhang?

There are docks everywhere in the Northeast, it just depends on whether you can choose.

But when it comes to choosing a pier, is there anyone in this era who can judge the situation better than him, a time traveler?

Jiang Cheng made a "hush" gesture, shook his suit jacket and walked inside.

There were too many people coming these days, so the soldier guarding the gate glanced at the three of them and didn't stop them. He gestured to let them in.

"Hey, be careful! Those are all good stuff from the West, don't let them go to waste!"

"What are you two doing standing there? Didn't we tell the ladies upstairs to pick out the fabrics that were delivered?"

"Here, here, come and move this vase over there. I don't think it's suitable..."

As soon as he entered the main hall, Jiang Cheng first heard Yu Shuai's fifth wife Shou Yi, her personal maid, and several wealthy ladies directing a group of servants to run around.

They were chatting animatedly, either complimenting the grandeur of the Marshal's mansion, or praising Shou Yi for her good vision, and how the Marshal always did things with pomp and circumstance, etc. No one paid any attention to the three young men who had just walked in.

However, when Jiang Cheng reported his name when he entered the room just now, he was almost certain that it was true that the Marshal had asked others to "report" to the Marshal's Mansion before, but "staying in to accompany the students" and the like were probably just politeness.

If you really want to arrange for him to enter the house, wouldn’t the gatekeeper not know about it?

"I don't think I can get a word in."

The clever Hai Huixin knew the purpose of her visit today very well. She first glanced at the women, but then lowered her voice to the lowest possible level, "Except for the Fifth Madam, I don't know any of them!"

You don’t even know him, let alone me.

In fact, Jiang Cheng doesn't like this kind of occasion - whether he was in school or in the army, he always couldn't help hiding when he saw his leaders. In the words of the 21st century, he has social phobia.

Looking around, Jiang Cheng immediately saw Zhao Xishun, who was leading the guards to move wine to the back.

"Slow down! Those are not loose baskets. If you ruin them, I will skin you alive!"

He trotted up to him and patted his shoulder: "Brother Xishun!"

"Ouch... Fei Lan!"

Zhao Xishun turned around and smiled when he saw him, "When did you arrive? Master Shuai was still talking about you yesterday."

"What are you talking about—"

Jiang Cheng pretended to be aggrieved, "Why are you nagging me? No wonder my ears were always burning during the journey."

"Hey you little brat, what can I say to you? I'm praising you!"

Zhao Xishun punched him on the shoulder in a chastised tone, "Master Shuai said that Feilan is now quite successful. He is no longer like when he was a kid studying with Liuzi and the others, always making trouble."

"Are you here to register for the entrance exam as well? How long do you plan to stay? My brother's house happens to have two empty rooms. You and Pingchuan can come together!"

Well, after hearing this, Jiang Cheng was even more certain that the Marshal was just being polite by letting him live in.

It seems that cleaning up the Hai family's old house was a smart decision, as he still has to rely on others.

"Don't bother me, Brother Zhao. We have cleaned up our ancestral home and it is close to the school on Zhulin Road."

Hearing the other party mention him, Hai Pingchuan immediately responded and stepped forward and said with a smile, "We brothers and sisters, plus Fei Lan, can take care of each other." "That's right, Brother Zhao, don't worry about it!"

Hai Huixin also smiled, "Hey, come over when your brother is not busy, you three can have a few cups!"

"Let's talk about it again, haha. Fei Lan has been making great contributions, catching bandits and killing spies. He has become a good helper to our family! Master Shuai always says that he is not like Xiao Liuzi..."

He stopped talking about the second half of the sentence in time. Of course, Jiang Cheng didn't need to listen to the whole thing. He thought about it and compared his son with "other people's good sons" and scolded his own son for not living up to his expectations.

Hearing this continuous praise, Jiang Cheng quickly said modestly: "Oh, Master Shuai, your compliments make me blush!"

"It's not just Master Shuai who praises you, even the two Japanese consultants have mentioned you to Master Shuai one after another,"

Zhao Xishun always spoke directly to him, "Speaking of you, you are good at dealing with those who are interested in Xinmin... You will become a great man in the future."

"Tsk, use them to praise. If they try to please you for no reason, they are either traitors or thieves!"

If you praise the devil, it will be a different story. Jiang Cheng curled his lips and said, "Where is the handsome man?"

"The gifts I prepared should have arrived at the Marshal's residence two or three days ago, right? Things have been a bit volatile lately, so I asked the butler to send them away on a convoy. Everything should be done safely."

Zhao Xishun looked at the Hai brothers and sisters who had been silent, and smiled, "Here they are! They were all collected by the Fifth Madam, and Master Shuai also informed us, saying that you and your son are very thoughtful."

"Master Shuai is upstairs right now, and Master Wu and the others are all here too."

They must be discussing the matter of Feng Delin and Tang Yulin.

Jiang Cheng's heart suddenly skipped a beat and he couldn't help but feel itchy: I really want to go up and listen to what they are talking about.

"Hey, this is all about the higher-ups. Are you planning to get involved?"

Zhao Xishun was not stupid, he saw through his thoughts immediately, raised his hand and knocked him on the head, "I have to remind you, Master Shuai is not happy recently... Don't do it if you have nothing to do."

However, before he could finish his words, a chaotic yet extremely loud sound of footsteps was heard from the front door of the front hall.

Even Zhao Xishun was immediately attracted to look over, and saw several men in suits and ties rushing in with uneasy and anxious looks on their faces.

The man with round glasses who took the lead was none other than Wang Yongjiang, the then director of the Fengtian Police Department.

"We want to see Master Shuai!"

"Ladies, please make way..."

The men looked hurried. Wang Yongjiang, who was walking in front, looked worried and almost tripped while rushing up the stairs.

"What happened?"

Now Jiang Cheng was scratching his head.

The old guys upstairs must be discussing the affairs of the 53rd Brigade - and why did Wang Yongjiang come here at this moment? What big thing happened?
Could it be that those two tigers have done something earth-shattering and tear-jerking again?
While thinking, he vaguely heard Shou Yi among the women, looking confused: "What on earth could have happened in broad daylight?"

"My Fifth Madam, from what you said, I guess you haven't been out much lately, right?"

Shou Yi looked back, even more puzzled: "Oh, I've been so busy with Liuzi and Fengzhi's affairs lately that I don't have time to go out for a stroll."

"That's it... Recently, big things have happened in the ticket offices in the provincial capital!"
