Chapter 302: Brothers in Life and Death Meet Again
Chapter 302: Brothers in Life and Death Meet Again
The next morning, Shao Quanzhong paid a visit to Prime Minister Disraeli.
The Prime Minister had been waiting for him. Even if Shao Quanzhong was just here to hang out and make his presence known, and had no serious business, he would have to find something as a result of his visit, and the two sides would have to have a meeting.
We talked for a whole morning, and it was actually mainly Zeng Jize's assistant who did the talking. Shao Quanzhong just showed up to show that he was in the talks, so both sides had equal status.
Who made Shao Quanzhong not know English? In fact, he doesn't know any foreign language and doesn't want to learn it.
After a morning of talks, the official mission of the visit was completed.
This time, Shao Quanzhong went to London mainly to accept the title and honor from Queen Victoria.
Because of the success in blocking the Russians in Central Asia, Britain wanted to reward this loyal brother. The reason why the Queen has not yet rewarded Shao Quanzhong is to see how much benefit he can bring to the British big brother this time, so as to weigh the reward. After the meeting with the Prime Minister, the dust settled.
Afternoon, 15 Kensington High Street.
This is a row of ordinary old-style apartments. Shao Quanzhong finally has some private time to come here to visit Mr. Luo Weilin, the founder of Beijing Union Hospital.
Old Man Luo saves the dying and the wounded, cures illnesses and saves lives, and has noble medical ethics. Shao Quanzhong respects such a foreigner.
Of course, the main purpose was to see Rong Hui, who was boarding at the old man's house with his two sons.
Rong Hui certainly has the money to buy a house in London, but that would defeat the purpose of letting Jiming study abroad. Only by boarding can one fully understand the UK and learn more.
Rong Hui, who is already 24 years old and has given birth to two sons, has not become mature and is still wearing the Republic of China student uniform designed by Shao Quanzhong.
Even though Shao Quanzhong was wearing a marshal's uniform with three medals on it, she still couldn't scare her. As soon as they met, she punched Shao Quanzhong and said, "You bad guy, you finally knew to come to London to see me."
Shao Quanzhong suddenly felt as if a stream of clear spring was pouring down from the top of his head, making his body and mind feel refreshed.
That's the feeling. When I went on the Western Expedition, led troops to Luoyang, and visited foreign countries, I was either leading troops to fight or wallowing in the vortex of power.
Everything is done according to his warlord instinct, and he keeps climbing up.
It was as if I had returned to my previous life, except that the environment and conditions had changed, and I might be able to climb higher.
Rong Hui appeared in front of him, and he seemed to have suddenly returned to his youthful twenty years old.
A fledgling militia leader met a foreign student who made his heart beat fast in Shanghai, a very fashionable place.
Now Shao Quanzhong has married four wives, and there are two foreign girls waiting in line to be married as concubines.
But Ronghui was the only woman he had actively pursued.
Rong Hui's appearance in his life made him feel that this life was different from his previous life. He was not an unyielding stone. In this life, he could have more advanced knowledge than in his previous life and experience a brand new life.
Rong Hui is the anchor and harbor for Shao Quanzhong to survive in this strange era, and her influence on him is unparalleled.
The country bumpkin Shao Quanzhong was filled with emotion and wanted to say something gentle, but what he said was: "Let me see where my son Ji Zeng is?"
"You are an old feudalist, and all you know is to care about your son, right?"
His parents were concerned about and doted on Shao Quanzhong. His father Shao Shucai sometimes showed off his feudal patriarchal style and scolded Shao Quanzhong.
In fact, it was a deliberate expression that no matter how high an official you are, even if you become the emperor, you are still my son and must listen to my teachings. This was a way of expressing the immense pride of having such a promising son like Shao Quanzhong.
The children were all afraid of him, and the other wives, including Wenxiu, had to give him enough face and didn't dare to offend him. Ronghui was the only exception, and she and Shao Quanzhong were in a completely free love relationship, and they had never held a formal wedding.
Whether Shao Quanzhong was the head of a regiment, a general in the Western Expedition, or even the commander-in-chief today, in her mind, he was just her beloved lover. In front of Shao Quanzhong, she could always say and do what she wanted.
In this world, the vast majority of people have to put themselves in a difficult position and be squeezed and deformed by the world.
Only Rong Hui lived sincerely according to her own nature, maintaining the liveliness and freedom she had when she first met Shao Quanzhong at the age of sixteen.
This is the result of Shao Quanzhong's indulgence. This flower blooming in troubled times was carefully protected under the wings of Shao Quanzhong, the big tree. It is a forbidden place in Shao Quanzhong's heart, and no one is allowed to enter. It is the goal that Shao Quanzhong, a layman, is willing to protect at all costs.
Yes, all costs, including the throne.
Shao Jiceng is already over one year old. He is lively, cute and very smart.
Shao Quanzhong was surprised for a while, but when he saw Ji Ming coming home from school with his schoolbag, he didn't give him a happy look at all.
Shao Jiming was no longer a little fat boy. He was very dissatisfied with his father for sending him to this hellhole with an extremely poor food culture, but he didn't dare to show it.
His results were average, better than most British children, but not amazing.
It’s okay. A king who maintains the status quo does not need to be too smart. What’s important is stability. Shao Quanzhong scolded his son a few words, but he was basically satisfied in his heart.
The door opened, and five people came in at once, making Luo Weilin's living room seem small all of a sudden.
When Shao Quanzhong looked up and saw the person coming in, his eyes suddenly became moist. He went up to hug him and said, "Siwen, you have grown up too."
Zhang Siwen has short hair, a jacket and sunglasses, and looks like an American tough guy. Now he is 26 years old and full of the masculinity of a mature man.
When he saw Shao Quanzhong, a long-lost silly smile appeared on his face, as if he was the huge eater Zhang Ershazi who followed Shao Quanzhong to beg for food many years ago.
This is my friend of life and death, my most reliable brother who has saved my life many times.
"Second brother, this is your sister-in-law."
The red-haired beauty Jessica, dressed in a dress, knelt down to greet Shao Quanzhong.
Behind Jessica are Wenxiu's son Shao Jisi and Shao Hengzhong's son Shao Jishu, who are boarding at the home of Dr. Du Dezhen, a disciple of Luo Weilin.
"Dr. Du's house is also next to Hyde Park, not far from here. I'll bring them over to see my second brother."
Behind the two children followed a little girl about thirteen or fourteen years old. She was dressed simply and had a determined look in her eyes, which surprised Shao Quanzhong.
"This is Zeng Xiaoyi's girlfriend, Elena. I came to London to talk to Elena's father about her and Xiaoyi getting married. But I met that economics PhD too late and learned a lot. I have decided to stay in London to study for a few years."
Shao Quanzhong laughed, "Siwen, you haven't even been to college, how can you learn directly from a doctor?"
Zhang Siwen nodded, "That's right, so I plan to take extra classes, donate some money to Oxford University, and enroll in Oxford University to audit economics classes. Once I have a foundation, I will be able to learn more from my in-laws."
"Oh, didn't you go to the United States to learn advanced systems? Why did you change your mind and want to study economics? Well, this is much better than rebelling for no reason. When we conquer the world, I will let you be in charge of the economy."
Zhang Siwen's eyes are now firm, and he is no longer confused as before. "Yes, I have this plan. However, China is a big country, and we can't mess around easily. I plan to conduct different economic experiments in South America, Cuba, and Luzon in the future to find the most suitable development model for China."
"Good! My fourth brother has finally grown up and is reliable. China's economic development in the future depends on you."
