Chapter 56 Sublimation
Chapter 56 Sublimation
Hearing this voice, Shao Quanzhong was stunned and stepped into the garden.
When he looked up and saw Rong Hui talking, Shao Quanzhong was in a trance again.
In the garden, under a clump of green bamboo, Rong Hui returned to her Shanghai attire.
With his half-long student hair and a Republic of China student outfit of his own design, he looked like exactly the kind of foreign student that a rustic warlord couldn't resist.
It was cold, so he wore a short mink coat. It was a pity that Shao Quanzhong was not from modern times, otherwise he might have blurted out "Feng Chengcheng".
This is the only woman in the world that Shao Quanzhong has ever tried hard to please.
Shao Quanzhong, who is usually very smart, speaking differently to different people, and is good at dealing with both black and white people, and who knows five thousand years in the past and sixty years in the future, now looks like a dazed rookie.
What he lacks is not beautiful women.
In his previous life, there were many wives in the brothel. Except for his original wife, all the concubines were beauties. Mr. Shao had no shortage of ways to deal with women.
What he lacked was the free, new feminine aura from Rong Hui, which was completely unfamiliar to him.
After his rebirth, he reflected on himself. In his previous life, when he was fighting against the enemy camp, he had good manpower and equipment, but he just felt that the situation was not favorable and was forced to avoid the battle. What was the problem?
Is it possible, probably, perhaps, or almost that I played the role of a stumbling block to the progress of the times?
In terms of personal ability, he thought he was no worse than that Green Gang gangster, and he was even more confident in his ability to enrich the country and strengthen the army, but he just didn't have the confidence to fight.
Most likely, it was because I was old, my mind was rigid, my behavior was too old-fashioned, and I could not feel the general trend of the world.
I am now twenty years old, in the prime of my life. Haiqing is right. If I can't beat them, I can join them. I have every chance to change sides and stand on the side that will definitely win.
Shao Quanzhong intuitively felt that what was originally missing in his mind was overflowing in Rong Hui.
I need someone like this around me to influence me, so that this life is not a simple repetition of my previous life, and I can always stand at the forefront of the world's trends and not fall behind.
Shao Quanzhong did not realize that this kind of spiritual desire was obviously at a higher level than physical pleasure.
This is a true complementary life partner, not just a tool for giving birth to a son.
He had seen and experienced too much in his previous life, and felt deeply that women were just like that. He no longer needed so many concubines in this life. He had been sublimated.
"Brother Shao, Brother Shao——"
Rong Hui waved her fingers in front of Shao Quanzhong's eyes. Seeing that Shao Quanzhong finally woke up from his inexplicable daze, Rong Hui blinked at him.
"Brother Shao, are you stupid? Are you mesmerized by my clothes? I will wear them every day in the future for you to see."
"Ahem, why are you here, Sister Hui'er?"
"Aunt Qiao asked me to come."
Rong Hui pulled over Aunt Qiao who was accompanying her around the Shao residence and said, "This is your housekeeper, don't you know her?
Lord Qiao gave you the house because he felt embarrassed when he heard that I was living in the Wen Mansion.
You got such a big house out of nowhere, why don't you thank me quickly?"
"I am poor and helpless, with no roof over my head and no place to stand. I am grateful to Miss Domeng for saving me."
"Hehe, Brother Shao, you really know how to please women with your mouth. I am just attracted to you.
Are you still a young man? No matter how much you pretend, you can't pretend to be as bookish as Le Xiucai. I just like the way you look like a bandit."
"The local bandits are going to forcefully abduct women from the people, and take you, a female student, back to be their mistress."
"Hehe, this feels right. No need to act. I know you are this kind of person."
Rong Hui puffed out her chest and said, "Come and grab it——"
Well, the beauty is too proactive, and it’s impossible to deal with Shao Quanzhong, the real bandit.
All his concubines in his previous life were obtained by him using all possible means, and some of them were unwilling to do so and later became nuns.
He had never experienced this kind of free love between two people who were in love with each other in his two lives. What? Was it progressing too fast?
In this era, men and women don’t know each other before getting married. Two strangers go straight to the final step in the bridal chamber, and no one thinks that the progress is too fast.
Shao Quanzhong and Rong Hui fell in love with each other at first sight. This was their third meeting.
It's like modern people go on a date. If both parties are interested, they will have a meal together the first time, hold hands and go shopping the second time, and if the third time is to watch a movie - ahem.
Now the two of them are just talking nonsense, which is already very gentlemanly.
"Let's go and have dinner with me!"
The nickname Zhang Ershazi came from the Shunyi County yamen runner who served as Shao Quanzhong's scapegoat.
Zhang Siwen actually came from a scholarly family and had nothing in common with those yamen runners who did everything they could to oppress the good and exploit the poor people.
I was too lazy to pay attention to them and always responded with a silly smile to avoid trouble, which is why I earned this nickname.
When you laugh at others for being stupid, there is a high probability that you are the stupid one...
Seeing three people eating at the table, Zhang Ershazi was not stupid at all. Without saying anything, he took the bowl and went to the side room to eat with his personal soldiers.
The Shaw family's new house has maids, servants, a housekeeper, a coachman, a cook, and a gardener. It is the standard configuration of a mansion, and the living standard is many times higher than that of a military camp.
There were four dishes on the table for two people, including stewed crab meat and lion head, boiled dried shredded pork, three-piece duck, and squirrel mandarin fish, authentic Huaiyang cuisine.
Rong Hui had never enjoyed such a high-end life before, but she behaved elegantly and naturally. This was because she was educated in a church school and had received civilized training, and was no worse than the daughter of a Jinshi family.
You have to admit that both the East and the West have civilizations, and the Eastern civilization is at most a few thousand years old.
In fact, for more than a hundred years thereafter, Eastern civilization was constantly devalued until the Eastern powers rose again...
Rong Hui ate a little bit of everything and also tried two rice straw buns and some Taizhou Sanma snacks. When she put down her chopsticks, Shao Quanzhong, who was used to eating in the military camp, had already finished all the food in no time.
Rong Hui looked at Shao Quanzhong with a smile, "Brother Shao, please accompany me to the garden."
It was quite cold in the winter, and Shao Quanzhong couldn't do something like strolling in a garden by himself. This was the first time he had strolled in a garden in his life.
The garden was not big but elegant, with pine, bamboo and plum, the three friends of winter. The two walked slowly in the garden at dusk. Rong Hui turned around and naturally grabbed Shao Quanzhong's hand.
Rong Hui has the most open-minded father of this era. He has completely broken away from the shackles of feudal ethics and is not bound by Western religions. He is the closest free man to modern Chinese women.
Ahem, they are truly independent modern women, not a small but very vocal group of postmodern women who want both the dowry of the feudal era and the freedom of modern people.
The vast majority of modern women are still good, right?
Ahem, I am getting off topic. Anyway, actively pursuing one's own happiness is something that is natural to Ronghui.
Rong Hui led Master Shao, who had become inexplicably reserved, up to the pavilion and pointed at the plum trees below, "The plum blossoms will bloom in a few days, and this place must be very beautiful..."
A cool breeze blew, "Brother Shao, I'm cold."
Shao Quanzhong tried to put the woolen coat on Rong Hui, but Rong Hui punched him lightly and said, "Silly, hug me."
Shao Quanzhong gently put his arm around Rong Hui's round shoulders and said, "How about we go to the room and hug each other?"
He was just teasing, but Rong Hui bit her lower lip unexpectedly, as if she was thinking seriously.
Shao Quanzhong's lust was aroused——
Suddenly, in the quiet evening, the sound of hurried horse hooves was heard.
The sound of horse hooves stopped at the door of Shao's house, and a member of the troop rushed into the house, shouting, "Commander Shao, urgent military information! Captain Tian asks you to return to the village immediately."
