Republic of China: My great warlord, many children, many blessings.

Then, Cao Yuanzheng said mysteriously, "However, you can also try to use your connections with the Second Young Master Yuan Kewen, and have his birth mother and adoptive mother whisper in his ear. Getting the Seventh Miss out on that matter will be a piece of cake."

Shen Hao looked puzzled: "Birth mother, adoptive mother?"

Cao Yuanzheng explained, "You don't know this, but the second young master, Yuan Kewen, has a special identity."

He was the son of the President's third wife, Kim.

Ms. Jin is not from China, but a local woman whom President Yuan married during his time in Chaozhou and Korea.

The second son's adoptive mother, who was also President Yuan, doted on his first concubine, Madam Shen.

Ms. Shen was originally a famous courtesan in Suzhou. President Yuan met her when he visited a brothel.

Later, when the First Sino-Japanese War broke out, President Yuan fled back to China and, fearing punishment from the imperial court, hid in Shen's brothel.

In order to save President Yuan, Shen used all her savings from working as a prostitute to bribe officials and embezzle public funds. As a result, she was punished by the court but was later given an important position.

Therefore, President Yuan was very grateful to Ms. Shen and, despite her being a prostitute, married her as his first concubine, where she held a very high position.

Back then, prostitutes had to take large amounts of sterilization-inducing Chinese medicine after entering the profession, which rendered them infertile for life. Therefore, Ms. Shen had no descendants.

After Jin gave birth to Yuan Kewen, the second son of President Yuan, she was forced by President Yuan to be adopted by Shen.

Shen was a prostitute by origin. Although she was very intelligent, skilled in playing musical instruments and singing, and also had some knowledge of calligraphy and painting, she did not know how to educate her children.

Yuan Kewen was raised by the Shen family. Although he was well-versed in the Four Books and Five Classics, he did not follow them. Instead, he was fond of all sorts of frivolous things.

It can be said that the second son, Yuan Kewen, was extremely skilled in everything that happened in brothels, and was even an expert in Kunqu Opera.

After he came of age, he became obsessed with women, married six wives and concubines, and kept countless mistresses outside the marriage, numbering as many as seventy or eighty in total.

Besides women, Yuan Kewen also loved opium and spent an unknown amount of money to buy top-quality opium.

In addition, he was a big fan of Kunqu Opera and had always tried to perform on stage.

In those days, opera singers were considered to be of the lowest social class, on par with prostitutes and beggars. President Yuan, of course, would not allow his son to perform operas in public.

So as long as you please the second young master Yuan Kewen, then the first concubine Shen will speak up against you.

The Kim family will also help.

The second young master, Yuan Kewen? Isn't he one of the four young masters of the Republic of China?

A guy who was on par with Zhang Xueliang.

Shen Hao asked in confusion, "Then what about this and Jin, the birth mother of the second young master Yuan Kewen?"

Cao Yuanzheng chuckled lewdly and said, "Brother Shen, you don't know this."

The seventh young lady, Yuan Fuzhen, was born to President Yuan and his fourth concubine, Wu.

President Yuan's third concubine was Princess Jin of the Chaozhou royal family, and this Wu was one of the two maids who accompanied her in her dowry.

Born into a humble family, she was not favored by President Yuan and was one of his many concubines with a relatively low profile.

However, her daughter, Yuan Fuzhen, was exceptionally beautiful.

Yuan Fuzhen listens to his mother, who was a maidservant who accompanied the third concubine, Jin. Of course, she listens to the third concubine.

Of course, Madam Jin wanted her second son, Yuan Kewen, to be happy.

Therefore, the key to this is the second young master.

This guy's only vices are women and opium.

There are plenty of women in the Eight Great Hutongs, but this top-quality Bengal opium paste is a real treat, Brother Shen, you know what I mean.

Just to be on the safe side, I think you'd better win over the second young master.

After listening to Cao Yuanzheng's explanation, Shen Hao finally understood the key point.

I can't help but think that this box of fireworks was really worth it.

Shen Hao clasped his hands and said, "Thank you for your guidance, Brother Cao. However, how did I get to know Second Young Master Yuan Kewen? I've never fought with him."

"What a coincidence, Second Young Master likes to sing opera and has a good friend named Jin Yanxi," Cao Yuanzheng said with a smile, patting Shen Hao on the shoulder.

"Thank you so much, Brother Cao, for your guidance. It really saved me from taking countless detours," Shen Hao said happily.

"Haha, easy. Brother Shen, now that you've dealt with the second young master Yuan Kewen, getting into President Yuan's house will be much simpler," Cao Yuanzheng said.

"It was worth coming today, Brother Cao, just wait for my good news!"

"They all say they're family."

"I cannot express my gratitude enough. It is getting late today. I will definitely come to thank you again after this matter is settled."

"Haha, alright, remember to come often. Don't forget your brother when you've made it big!"

"I will never forget Brother Cao."

After exchanging a few polite words with Cao Yuanzheng, Shen Hao got up to take his leave.

After returning, Shen Hao prepared to contact Jin Yanxi.

As for befriending the second young master, Yuan Kewen, Shen Hao felt no burden whatsoever.

He still has more than twenty boxes of opium paste in his spatial ring.

I was originally planning to use some lime to destroy it in front of everyone that day, but now it seems that this stuff works quite well.

It makes a wonderful gift!

It's not ordinary people who are being cheated, it's all the powerful and wealthy, so Shen Hao doesn't really feel much burdened.

It's a good thing if a few more of these woodworms die.

109. This is what art is!

The private room on the second floor of Zuixianglou.

Jin Yanxi and Shen Hao hugged.

He was still dressed in his usual flamboyant style, wearing a white suit and sunglasses.

Shen Hao was also wearing a suit.

He wasn't used to wearing long or short jackets.

The Zhongshan suit now mostly represents revolution.

They are easily misunderstood.

"Brother Shen, you're amazing."

I've seen your deeds all over the capital. My father has mentioned you several times, saying you have a profound influence on young people.

Jin Yanxi said happily;

It's clear that Shen Hao is genuinely happy to be back this time.

Shen Hao said, "That was just good luck, it's nothing."

"Brother Shen, please don't be modest. Now everyone in the capital knows you're my buddy."

Those guys who used to look down on me are now all giving me a thumbs up.

"This is all thanks to you," Jin Yanxi said excitedly.

Having a warlord friend like Shen Hao is truly a source of pride.

He walks with a breeze.

In the past, Jin Quan would get angry whenever he saw Jin Yanxi, always thinking he was a spendthrift.

Now, I find him much more agreeable.

Even if Jin Yanxi were a fool, he would know that all these changes were because he had made a friend in Shen Hao.

Therefore, Shen Hao was truly grateful to Shen Hao.

At least, the label of "spoiled brat and incompetent" is rarely used anymore.

Moreover, Jin Quan specifically instructed him to befriend Shen Hao so that he could have a good future after the Jin family's decline.

Jin Quan is not optimistic about the future of the Jin family.

All of his sons are good-for-nothings, only knowing how to eat, drink, and have fun.

Once Jin Quan loses power, the Jin family's fate is predictable.

Shen Hao raised his hand to look at his watch, frowned and said, "Hasn't that Second Young Master Yuan, Yuan Kewen, arrived yet?"

Jin Yanxi didn't reply, but stared intently at the gold watch on Shen Hao's wrist, unable to look away.

"Brother Shen, your watch is so cool! Where did you buy it?"

Jin Yanxi was practically drooling.

Shen Hao smiled and said, "It was a gift from a friend in Germany."

"Oh my god, you asked him if he had any more? I want some too!"

Jin Yanxi said excitedly;

To be honest, I fell in love with this watch at first sight.
