Everything seemed normal, without any disturbance. But just when Yuan Su thought things would go on smoothly, a cold "hum" sound suddenly came from the door of the restaurant, followed by sarcastic words: "Huh, who do I think it is?"
Well, it turns out that you are still a little-known gangster, but now you are so proud that you have finally joined the great president."
After saying this, the atmosphere in the entire restaurant suddenly changed, and the relatives of the Yuan family who had been chatting immediately fell silent.
Everyone looked in search of the voice and saw that it was Yuan Keduan, the Fourth Young Master of Yuan, standing at the door of the restaurant. He was dressed in a foreign style, wearing a pair of round sunglasses, and the most popular middle-parted hair, which seemed to reveal his personality.
A tricky atmosphere.
Yuan Su knew very well that what Yuan Keduan just said was aimed at him. When he sent Zhang Zhenfang to Kaifeng to take office in Baoding, he had already had some conflicts with Yuan Keduan, but he never expected that the other party would still be so unscrupulous on this occasion.
"It turns out they are four brothers. They are all fine." Naturally, he would not be like a playboy. You must know that Yuan Keduan has been pampered since he was a child, and even the job assigned by Yuan Shikai has reached the point where he can't go to work. Instead of competing with such a person, it is better to
It is better to show your open-mindedness with a tolerant attitude.
"When you entered our house today, you really didn't regard yourself as an outsider. You really had a reason to become a relative. I can tell you, if my father hadn't been so soft-hearted, because of your surname, he would have
I will definitely not give you this opportunity. You have to remember, don’t get carried away thinking that you can sit at the same table with us today, you have to think carefully about your identity!" Yuan Keduan said as he walked in,
The combination of the way he walks and the tone of his speech is "arrogant".
His words were not meant to humiliate Yuan Su, but they were more hurtful. The directness in his words was as if an elder was lecturing a disobedient junior.
"What the four brothers are saying is that my uncle is now the president after all, and all rules and etiquette are indispensable. I will be more careful. Thank you four brothers for the reminder." Yuan Su's face changed slightly, but he deliberately pretended to listen.
He looked like he didn't understand and talked in a roundabout way.
"Assuming you are wise, I can tell you that if you dare to make any mistakes, I want you to take a look..." Yuan Keduan only thought that Yuan Su was being obedient, so he went even further and tried to teach him a lesson.
However, before he finished speaking, another person came outside the restaurant and interrupted Yuan Keduan in a calm voice: "Fourth brother, what are you talking about? Keli is my brother. In terms of age, he is still your cousin. Look at you, the more you
Is it bigger or smaller?"
After finishing his words, he walked in with a bump, it was Yuan Keding. Yuan Keding also didn't take Yuan Su seriously from the bottom of his heart, but as the eldest son of Yuan, he must show the quality and courage of the eldest son.
What's more, he had a lively chat with Yuan Su today. Since Yuan Su is currently in charge of Shanhaiguan's power position, he will definitely be entrusted with important tasks in the future, so what should be protected must still be protected.
Yuan Keduan did not dare to talk back to Yuan Keduan, he just muttered a few words in a low voice and then sat down aside to mind his own business.
Yuan Su stepped forward to greet Yuan Keding with a grateful expression. Yuan Keding responded with a few words with a smile, and said that Yuan Shikai and several ladies would be arriving soon, and invited him to sit down and drink tea.
After a while, an attendant outside the door reported that the master and his ladies had arrived at the restaurant. Yuan Keding stood up first and called all his contemporaries to get up and go to the porch to wait to greet them. As footsteps and conversations came from outside the corridor, Soon I saw a group of figures approaching slowly, led by Yuan Shikai, who was wearing casual clothes.
Yuan Shikai is not tall and has a protruding belly. He walks like a round pumpkin. But even though his overall figure is funny, his steps are bold and calm, and he already reveals a soldier's toughness. With the leader's calm but powerful spirit. Following him, in addition to Mrs. Yu and Mrs. Shen, were several personal servants, and several other concubines would have to wait for a while before arriving one after another.
After crossing the threshold of the restaurant, Yuan Keding stepped forward to salute and introduced Yuan Su.
Yuan Shikai looked Yuan Su up and down, only to feel that Yuan Su looked very young and mature, and he had already secretly had a preconceived idea in his heart: This son's city is rich. Then he smiled kindly at Yuan Su, and said something about the elders caring about the younger ones. words, such as "It's been a hard journey", "I was too busy today so I didn't meet in time" and so on.
Naturally, Yuan Su was polite and pretended to be frightened like a junior and his subordinates, and followed Yuan Shikai's tone and said some very polite words.
Yuan Shikai held a banquet this time to entertain Yuan Su, so he warmly invited Yuan Su to sit next to him, and personally introduced the other Yuan family members. On this occasion, he didn't seem to have the airs of a president, just He acted like an elder of a big family, and he was very kind and considerate in his hospitality to Yuan Su, even better than he was to his eldest son Yuan Keding.
After the banquet officially started, several other concubines arrived one after another. The status of these concubines in the family was very different, and they all seemed to be very far back in the seats. However, Yuan Shikai always attached great importance to traditional etiquette, so he specially asked Yuan Su to meet him. After passing these aunts, Yuan Su paid homage to them one by one. As for the meeting gifts, naturally he could not present them at this time. Yuan Su had already asked his servants to deliver them to each aunt's room alone after the banquet.
The whole banquet was very lively, with people talking and laughing. Yuan Shikai also discussed some military topics with Yuan Su, but they didn't talk too deeply, they just gave some superficial advice.
However, Yuan Keding, who was sitting on the other side of Yuan Shikai, was quite diligent and changed the topic to national affairs from time to time. At first he complained about the Kuomintang's criticism of current affairs, and then he accused the government of not being too weak. As they talked, they brought it up again and again. In terms of the national system, the words "the Yuan family is in charge of the country" are also mentioned very explicitly.
Before Yuan Keding finished speaking, Yuan Shikai's face gradually became gloomy. However, he just calmly took out a few slices of uncooked mutton from the hot pot and put them thoughtfully into Yuan Keding's bowl, which was not cold. He said nonchalantly: "Eat something."
Yuan Keding glanced at the undercooked meat in the bowl, and naturally understood what his father meant, but he didn't take it seriously at all, and said with a smile: "Dad, there is no need for you, today I am specifically talking to Keli." However, both Keli and Keli agree that we should strengthen the centralization of power at this time. After all, Keli is our own family and there is no need to see outsiders."
After hearing these words, Yuan Su changed his face and looked very embarrassed. Yuan Keding clearly meant that Yuan Shikai was unwilling to talk about these things in front of outsiders. It would be better not to say this. Saying it would not only make Yuan Su embarrassed. , which put Yuan Shikai in an embarrassing situation. Even if Yuan Shikai did not truly regard him as one of his own, he could not say this clearly.
As expected, Yuan Shikai's cousin flashed with embarrassment for a moment, but in order to keep the atmosphere of the scene, he just reprimanded in a low voice and sternly: "Eat when I tell you to eat. This is a family dinner, not a dinner meeting!"
Yuan Keding was stunned, quickly silenced, and quickly put the uncooked mutton in the bowl into his mouth.
