7days ago traverse Novels 9
This year, the Spring Festival in Jinling City was particularly lively. Not long after New Year's Day, the twelfth lunar month entered, and firecrackers in the streets and alleys were set from the 20th lunar month to the fifteenth lunar month.

Because the new president opened seals after the New Year, the cabinet and the presidential office moved from the capital to Jinling one after another, and there was a clamor in the inner and outer city.

The Kong family also became busy. Mr. Kong was an official in the previous dynasty for many years. After retiring and returning home, many friends of the same year were in the capital. This time, someone from the family who was an official in the cabinet came to Jinling to take up their posts, so he naturally had to visit him.

The old man has not been in contact with others for a long time. This time, his old friend reunion has added a bit of joy to his frowning face for days.

Yao Ji looked at her side and couldn't help but feel relieved. If she talked about her and Li Zheng's affairs, she was most afraid of causing any sadness, then she would be Mr. Kong.

The old man is the most ruling person. When Kong Yu insisted on studying abroad, he turned his head away from his eldest granddaughter. Yao Ji was highly expected by him, but now she has a relationship with her nominal brother-in-law. Although she knew that this matter could not be hidden and could not be hidden, she still felt guilty and uneasy.

To her surprise, the old man did not call her over and scold her. When Li Zheng came to pay New Year's greetings in the New Year, he even received her kindly, but after Li Zheng left, he locked himself in the study and didn't come out for an afternoon.

After that day, he seemed to let go of this matter. Then his family received a telegram from Kong Yu. Kong Yu said that he originally wanted to come back for the New Year, but the school delayed the matter temporarily. He introduced his foreign boyfriend Paul in the telegram, and said that he would bring Paul back during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

The old man didn't get angry. He looked at the telegram with a complicated expression for a while, and suddenly called Yao Ji: Second Sister.Yao Ji couldn't help but be stunned. Since Li Zheng broke off the engagement, he had never said a word to his granddaughter.

Yao Ji hurriedly stood up and lowered her head to listen to the training. He waved his hand to signal Yao Ji to sit down, but didn't say anything, just asking about her usual questions, how she got along with her classmates at school.

Yao Ji answered respectfully, and he stood up and went back to the study.

Mr. Kong was originally standing behind the pillars, but he walked out now: Mr. He is not angry with you. This is not your fault. If you blame us, you must also understand it in your heart.When he looked so kind, Yao Ji couldn't help but feel sore, and she quickly lowered her head and said, "The times have really changed." What parents' orders and matchmakers say? "A big thing like marriage, it's not that parents can make decisions."

But in such an era of alternating new and old, new waves come steadily, but the old tides have not receded.

The Li family still invited a matchmaker to the door according to the old rules, and the date was to propose marriage on the third day of the third lunar month of the lunar calendar.

Because the Kong family demanded a low-key attitude, not many people knew about this, and Yao Ji only told Yiqiu.

Yiqiu was both surprised and happy: You are only seventeen, and you are about to get married now?He grabbed her sleeve again, Mrs. Li Shaoshu, who is so majestic, will invite me to Fengshan Villa to play in the future.

Yao Ji nodded with a smile and said to her: Don’t just talk about me, I know your family is not in charge, but you still have to have a good idea in your heart.

Speaking of this, Yiqiu couldn't help but feel a little discouraged. She hesitated for a while and said: I, there is actually someone in my heart...

Yao Ji hurriedly asked her who she was. Seeing that she was hesitant, she seemed extremely embarrassed and couldn't help but suddenly appear: Could it be...a senior?

Seeing Yiqiu nodding, she understood why Yiqiu was so depressed.

Yiqiu is a rich lady, and she is the only one in the family. Mr. Chen and Mrs. Shen love her so much. Mo Jiaping was born in a poor family and lost his father in his early years. He only had a widowed mother. With such a huge family background, no matter how enlightened the Shen family and his wife were, they would not be happy to suffer.

She had no choice but to comfort Yiqiu: Don’t worry, your family will definitely not let you marry, and there is still room for maneuver.

Yi Qiuben is also an optimistic girl, so he cheered up: You are right, he and I have discussed it. He is about to graduate this year and has already decided to work at the newspaper. I will work hard for several years. I don’t think my father won’t see it.

In the evening, Yao Ji went to the Shuai Mansion for dinner and told Li Zheng about this. The Li family also had rules that they would not talk about, but Li Zheng was too busy and they could spend very little time together before marriage. Li Zheng broke the rules himself and just wanted to say a few more words to Yao Ji.

He put down his chopsticks and thought for a while: Mo Jiaping is the president of Nanyuan Club.

Yao Ji might as well know that Mo Jiaping: It turns out that the senior is so famous?

The last time Nanyuan Club went to the consulate area, it was quite a big deal. Li Zheng said lightly, "I heard that the Mo family is really brave. They happened to meet the car driver of the British ambassador, and he threw the leaflet onto the face."What he did not say was that the British Ambassador was very annoyed by this matter and even sent a telegram to Li Zheng, demanding that those progressive students be punished.

Yao Ji was shocked when she heard this. Li Zheng thought about it and said: I have no other meaning in saying this. It is a good thing for you to engage in progress activities, but it is important to be a measure.

But it is so difficult to implement what Li Zheng said.

There are a few radical students from the left in Nanyuan Club. Although Mo Jiaping is the president, he can't control them. Besides, young students are prone to being passionate. After hearing what Yao Ji reposted, Mo Jiaping sighed: Thank you for your kindness for me. I also know that doing this is originally a tightrope. Not to mention the distance, when Feng Changyuan was the president, many progressive students were shot in the capital, but speaking gently was originally a false proposition. If he didn't shout at the top of his lungs, those people would not listen to our voices.

In late February, something happened.

That day, Yao Ji did embroidery work at home because there was no class in school.

Because the Li family was traveling with old gifts, the Kong family also had to follow the rules, and set the purse needed and Li Zheng's close-fitting clothes needed by Yao Ji.

She was splitting the thread into three extremely thin strands when suddenly she heard a disturbance outside. Yiqiu rushed in and was full of panic: Xiaoyao, it's bad, it's bad...

What's wrong?!Yao Ji hurriedly stood up and supported her.

Senior, she burst into tears and was captured by the detective team!

It was already late at night, and several electric lights were on in the room, but because the study was so big, a little green light shone on the carpet, it still looked dim.

Li Zheng sat behind the table to review the official documents and heard three loud knocks outside the door. This was regular, probably Jin Xian.

Come in.As soon as he finished speaking, the door opened. Jin Xian held a military newspaper. In the cold winter of February, there was a bright sweat on his forehead. Li Zheng frowned and asked him, "What's the matter?"

The third son...

But before he finished speaking, the phone on the table rang, and Li Zheng signaled him to wait and pick up the receiver.

Only a few people who were very close to Li Zheng could call in this inside phone. It was midnight again. Jin Xian was anxious and became angry, but at this time he couldn't help but feel more and more uneasy.

Li Zheng's voice was as usual, and he only heard him say: Don't worry, and then say, I don't know much about this matter. I will ask someone to ask as soon as possible. Don't worry, stop for a while, and finally said softly, "It's too late, you should rest earlier and don't stay up late."I just hung up the phone.

Jin Xian knew that it was Ms. Kong who called him, and Li Zheng asked him: Do you know that the detective team has arrested several progressive students?

Jin Xian was stunned. He was Li Zheng's personal secretary. Although Li Zuo is the president now, anyone with a discerning eye knows that Li Zheng is actually in power. Therefore, in addition to participating in the military affairs of the Huai Army, he also intervened in the affairs of the Presidential Office. However, the investigation team is not controlled by the Huai Army.

There are many factions in the cabinet, and not everyone is in the same relationship with the Huai Army. The one who is least willing to buy Li Zheng's account happened to be the police department under the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Chen Lihai.

When Li Zheng saw him shook his head, he said: Forget it, you ask someone to go and let the detective team release those students. I think Chen Lihai will not be embarrassed about this little thing.After handling this matter, he asked Jin Xian, what were you going to say before?

Jin Xian put the military newspaper on the table, his eyes calmed down: Wu Yongping tore up the peace agreement, and half an hour ago, he attacked Yonggu at night.
