    Chapter 388: Mei¡¯s Father¡¯s Worries

    Mei Ting was tightly surrounded by her relatives. The old man's beard was trembling. He was a man who did not reveal his inner feelings easily. The eldest daughter who had been away from home for many years suddenly came back. The previous estrangement had been diluted a lot by the years. The feeling of licking a calf  , getting older and stronger.

    Mei Ting¡¯s mother held her daughter tightly in her arms and kept stroking her long black hair, with tears of joy in her eyes, even though her daughter was already half a head taller than her and was a colonel in military uniform.

    The old man turned his attention to Tang Qiuli who was smiling at the side, "Ting'er, who is this?" His voice was slightly hoarse and majestic.

    Mei Ting smiled sheepishly, and was busy being affectionate with her family. She temporarily ignored the bad guy and hoped that he would not be overly considerate.

    "Dad, Mom, this is Mr. Tang Qiuli, who is also my boss." Mei Ting did not dare to introduce their relationship directly. She had not been home for five years, and suddenly brought such a big gift, which shocked her parents.  Don't stay here, mention it to them later.

    "Hello, uncle and aunt! I am Tang Qiuli. This is our first time meeting you. I'm sorry to bother you!" Tang Qiuli saluted him with a dignified military salute, his expression was extremely chic and generous, and he had the arrogance of a man and the valor of a soldier.  gas.

    Mei Ting's father's eyes lit up and he looked at Tang Qiuli carefully. He had a good impression of him at first sight. This young and heroic general did not have the rudeness and vulgarity of a warrior at all. He looked very talented. The eldest daughter and him  Coming back together, the relationship between the two is unusual?

    Based on the old man¡¯s life experience, how could he not see the truth here? However, he is not an outsider. He is a division commander and has held the rank of lieutenant general at most. There is absolutely no reason to hang on to the rank of general?  Moreover, his age cannot be more than 20 years old. Could it be that the military rank of the National Government has been devalued?

    Suddenly, Mei's father was shocked, as if he suddenly remembered something. He asked Mei Ting eagerly: "Ting'er, did you say his name is Tang Qiuli?" Mei Ting nodded strangely. Qiu Li was not a tiger, so he would not hurt the old man.  Is your father so shocked?

    As soon as he heard this name, he felt familiar. The old man suddenly remembered that the one who dared to come to the house with his eldest daughter was a rising star in the Kuomintang world, Tang Qiu, who was officially appointed as the Vice Chairman of the Military Commission of the Kuomintang Government.  Li, no wonder it sounds so familiar.

    Although Moling is an ancient town, because it is located in the south of the Yangtze River, the literary style is quite prosperous and the news is not blocked. Mei's father is not an old man who studies behind closed doors. He is very concerned about national affairs. He has a subscription to Nanjing's newspapers because the distance is not close.  Far away, it can be delivered on the same day.

    News of Tang Qiuli's inauguration was reported in Nanjing newspapers with large photos and long reports. He shook his head in disbelief. The country's second-largest figure was actually held by a young man who was barely in his prime. It was almost embarrassing the country.  Major events are treated as child's play, probably just another political deal by Chiang Kai-shek.

    You just finished singing and I came on stage. The good Republic of China was ruined by people like this. After reading the news about Tang Qiuli's inauguration, this matter was forgotten by him. He was dissatisfied and could  What can I do?  What's the use of complaining?

    Now, this man suddenly came to visit, and he came back with his eldest daughter. The old man's eyes changed from admiration to complicated, and he coldly and politely invited Tang Qiuli: "General Tang, as a noble person, you have come to this remote place and condescended to  I am very grateful to send my little girl home and make this poor house shine. Please come in!"

    Mei Ting was anxious. Her father's attitude towards Tang Qiuli was beyond her expectation. What happened?  When looking at Tang Qiuli, Tang Qiuli smiled at her without any displeasure. This made Mei Ting feel relieved a little. Tang Qiuli saw all the changes in the old man's attitude towards her and guessed.  How could he take it to heart and make things difficult for his lover?

    The staff of the town office had already arranged for Tang Qiuli's guards under the orders of the military special agents. When they heard that the second most powerful person in the government was coming to the town, these people who were doing business felt their calves trembling.  My mother, what is the background of the Mei family that allows such a big shot to visit in person.

    I was busy and anxious, fearing that I would not entertain these soldiers well. Fortunately, these soldiers were kind, polite, and obeyed the rules very well. None of them ran around in the street, and they didn't feel sad when they saw older girls or younger wives.  He looked like a pig brother with an eyebrow.

    Knowing that Tang Qiuli had brought a large number of guards, Mei's father was even more unhappy. The young upstart, who had just assumed an important position, was so showy. He was also a man who pursued fame and fortune, had a shallow heart, and had the style of a playboy, with no great achievements.

    This dinner is very simple, four exquisite Jiangnan side dishes, exquisite enough, but the portion is too small, the atmosphere during the dinner is also very dull, the meal is boring and boring, the old man talks very little, and there is an obvious politeness.  From a distance, Mei Ting looked at her father inexplicably, unable to guess the reason.

      Afraid that her lover would be restrained, Mei Ting ignored her father's look and kept picking up food for Tang Qiu Li, fearing that he wouldn't be full. Mei Ting, on the other hand, besides frequently warning the old man with her eyes, just looked at Tang Qiu kindly.  Li, between his eyebrows and eyes, is full of joy, a bit like the more he looks at it, the more he likes it.

    It was Mei Ting's sister, Mei Xue, who kept stirring up topics and livening up the atmosphere at the table. This twenty-year-old girl was by no means inferior in appearance to her sister, but she had a completely different temperament.

    She has a strong bookish air, a well-educated demeanor, and big black and white eyes, full of agility and intelligence. At first glance, she is a crystal clear girl. If Mei Ting is a blooming rose, Mei Xue is  A swaying lily, spring orchids and autumn chrysanthemums are all equally pleasing to the eye.

    Mei Xue was studying at Jinling Women's University, and she was at home during the winter vacation. There was a large photo of Tang Qiuli in the newspaper. His deep gaze seemed to penetrate people's hearts, and it also aroused the infinite reverie of girls like him. Such a handsome young man, with equal emphasis on talent, appearance, and status.  It is also the charming prince in their boudoir dreams at night, the charming fantasy of marrying into a wealthy family.

    It's just that it's too far away from them, like another world. Now, Tang Qiuli, who is already the idol in the hearts of the students at Jinling Women's University, is sitting at her own dining table, eating with her at the same table. Mei Xue's mood  Nervous and excited.

    There are also blessings for his sister and a little jealousy and loss. He is so lucky. Judging from the look in his eyes and Mei Xue's ice and snow intelligence, how could he not know the relationship between his sister and him.

    Mei Ting's younger brother, Mei Ling, is a young boy of fifteen or sixteen years old, with a strong body and a very honest appearance. He is very afraid of Mei Xue and quite envious of the shining general star on Tang Qiuli's collar badge. He is also at the dinner table.  The person who talked to Tang Qiuli the most ignored his old father's warning eyes and competed with his second sister Mei Xue from time to time. He pulled Tang Qiuli and asked him questions. He was especially interested in military matters.

    After finally finishing the meal, to be honest, with Tang Qiuli's appetite, these four side dishes were just enough for him to finish the meal, not to mention it was a large table of people, so Tang Qiuli had no choice but to chew slowly like a boudoir.

    Returning to the guest room prepared for him, Tang Qiuli smiled bitterly and touched his belly. He probably would only be hungry at night. A plate of hand-caught mutton at this time was the greatest enjoyment for him.

    The courtyard of the Mei family became quiet, with a few soft lights and the sound of family members closing and locking doors, but it seemed even more peaceful.

    Although Mei Ting's father's attitude towards her is a bit unexpected, it is also reasonable. If she were an ordinary person, Mr. Mei's attitude might be more easy-going or much easier.

    At this time, Mei Ting is probably being interrogated by three courts?  From the way she looked at him, he knew that this girl was also uneasy. Tang Qiuli shook his head helplessly.

    It's raining. The sparse raindrops that are unique to Jiangnan in winter are tapping the branches and leaves of the green bamboos in the courtyard. The "rustling" sound seems to come from the distant sky, but it adds to the loneliness. The cold air suddenly rises, as if it penetrates the body through the pores.  , Tang Qiuli couldn't help but shiver. At this time, in his hometown in Northeast China, there was a blazing fire in the house. How could it be so damp and cold?

    The door was gently pushed open, and a light and plump figure walked in, bringing a delicate fragrance to the room. It was Mei Xue.

    Her green-white fingers were placed on her rosy lips in a warning manner. There seemed to be a little pride in her eyes that the trick had succeeded. She stopped Tang Qiuli's words. She held a large plate of exquisite snacks in her hand and gently  Put it on the table and make a gesture of eating.

    Then, he tiptoed out, turned around, and smiled sweetly at Tang Qiuli. In an instant, the room was filled with spring like blooming flowers, and the coldness of winter in the south of the Yangtze River was gone. Tang Qiuli was a little stunned. This girl was pretending to be mysterious.  What fame?

    However, his mind was quickly attracted by the plate of snacks, and the fragrance rushed into his nostrils. Tang Qiuli chewed it, taking a sip of snacks and a sip of tea, with a face full of enjoyment.

    In the main hall, Mei Ting was sitting uneasily on a chair, opposite her father and mother, and the conversation had been going on for a while.

    Father Mei is sincerely happy that his daughter can break away from the military. The obstacle between father and daughter is no longer there, and his daughter has developed very well in the military. At a young age, she has already reached the rank of colonel. The old man is very satisfied.

    However, the old man was full of concerns about Tang Qiuli. He was a man who had experienced many ups and downs in the officialdom. He had experienced many changes in the political arena of the Republic of China, and had seen many people who had risen through the ranks. When he first started, he was high-spirited and proud, but fell into the dust in an instant.  They are worse than ordinary people, and there are many people who lose their lives.

    ??Leave aside, Zhang Xueliang is a living example. When the Northeast changed its banner, Zhang Hanqing was under one person and over ten thousand people. What is the fate now?  I haven't become a prisoner of someone like him, Jiang, now?Chiang Zhongzheng, no one can defeat him.

    The Tang Qiuli of today is so similar to the Zhang Xueliang of the past. How can we know that the Zhang Hanqing of today is not the Tang Qiuli of tomorrow?

    The old man really didn't want his biological daughter to put his life's happiness on Tang Qiuli, who seemed to have a prominent position, but was just a pawn of his Jiang. Once the situation changed, Tang Qiuli suffered a big fall. According to legend,  The Mei family, which has been here for hundreds of years, will also be implicated and suffer unforeseen disasters.

    Mei's father's concerns are reasonable. The political arena of the Republic of China was very treacherous and dangerous. How could a strong man accept the throne? He held the important position of military and political minister, so he did not leave sadly and fall into silence.
