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

As your status rises, you must understand who your enemies are.

After Yuan Datou finished speaking, Shen Hao nodded repeatedly, as humbly as a student seeking knowledge.

Yuan Shikai was very satisfied with this attitude.

Immediately, Yuan Shikai took a letter of appointment, signed his name, and stamped it with the presidential seal.

"Take this letter of appointment. In ten days, I will send a telegram to the whole country, and then you will be the real commander of the 18th Division."

Shen Hao saluted and said, "It is the President."

"Well, as for the personnel issue, you can handle that yourself. As for equipment and military pay, just give me a number of people and I'll issue you the necessary approvals."

"However, there can't be too many people, otherwise the way they eat will be unsightly," Yuan Datou instructed Shen Hao.

Shen Hao's brigade has nearly 10,000 men, which is about the same as a division in other countries.

The Central Division is organized into two mixed brigades. If you send out a total of 20,000 men, how will others cope?

If everyone follows suit and goes to such lengths, the Beiyang government's finances will be bankrupted.

Shen Hao said, "Yes, Uncle, I will listen to you."

Yuan Datou nodded, then waved his hand and said, "Okay, it's alright, you can go about your business."

Yes, Uncle.

Just as Shen Hao turned to leave, Yuan Datou spoke up again: "By the way, about your matter with Fuzhen, come here for a meal in three days."

Yes, Uncle.

Shen Hao slowly backed away and closed the door.

After coming out, I felt extremely happy.

These are truly wonderful days.

After they came down, Yuan Kewen put his arm around Shen Hao's shoulder and asked, "How did the talks go?"

"The wedding will take place in three days."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Fuzhen was overjoyed, her beautiful eyes filled with happiness.

She was very satisfied with Shen Hao as her husband.

She felt that God had been really good to her.

Now that the marriage was arranged, Shen Hao stopped pretending to be a gentleman, took Yuan Fuzhen's hand, and gently whispered sweet nothings to her.

Yuan Fuzhen had never been in a relationship before, so she couldn't resist Shen Hao's flirting. Her beautiful eyes even misted over.

Meanwhile, the other sisters didn't scatter; instead, they stayed around Shen Hao, chatting happily.

The conversation always revolved around Shen Hao.

Normally, they travel to different places on their own.

After all, they weren't born to the same mother.

Moreover, there were conflicts among the concubines, so it was inevitable that there would be some estrangement among the sisters.

Today, Shen Hao's appearance has ironically become a medium, giving them endless topics to talk about.

Even Yuan Zhongzhen, an old maid who had broken off her engagement and was still trying to get married, sat quietly next to Shen Hao and listened to him speak.

Of course, these days, if you're not married by 20, you're considered an old maid.

The second daughter, Yuan Zhongzhen, is only 25 years old this year.

There was also Yuan Shuzhen, the third daughter of the young emperor Puyi, and Yuan Bozhen, the eldest daughter who had married, who was also a beautiful young woman. She was happily eating nuts and melon seeds and talking about something.

···Requesting 0 flowers···

The fifth daughter, Yuan Jizhen, who has always been physically weak, was clearly unwell, but she still forced herself to sit on the sofa.

She didn't know why, but sitting next to Shen Hao and listening to his stories about the martial arts world made her feel inexplicably better.

Shen Hao was a master at picking up girls, and he had a thorough understanding of women's psychology.

Although there were many women, he was able to cater to all of them in every topic, which made them feel very comfortable.

After finishing their afternoon meal, they were still reluctant to let Shen Hao leave.

The outspoken and straightforward third daughter, Yuan Shuzhen, insisted on dragging Shen Hao to play mahjong.

The three daughters are Yuan Shuzhen and Shen Hao, the second son is Yuan Kewen, and there is also a sixth concubine of Yuan Datou.

The women all gathered around to watch, but most of them stood next to Shen Hao.

While chatting and eating sunflower seeds, Shen Hao, being a first-timer, couldn't win any money, so he kept losing, allowing the three of them to win several hundred dollars, making them all grin from ear to ear.

Yuan Fuzhen pouted in dissatisfaction. Seeing Shen Hao lose money, she felt sad for him.

Taking advantage of everyone's inattention, he quietly returned to his room and took out all his savings, including foreign bank checks worth about five thousand silver dollars.

This is Yuan Fuzhen's private savings from childhood to adulthood.

Without the slightest hesitation, I hurried downstairs.

He gave all the money to Shen Hao.

'oh!'

This drew a burst of laughter from the sisters;

"She's not even married yet, and she's already paying him off?" the third daughter, Yuan Shuzhen, teased.

"Hahaha, it's all your fault. You won all of Ahao's money. What's wrong with Fuzhen feeling sorry for her husband?" said the eldest sister, Yuan Bozhen, indignantly.

“Tsk tsk, then we have to win it all back for them, we can’t let Fuzhen lose money,” Yuan Shuzhen said.

Shen Hao laughed and said, "Alright, I think my luck is about to change. I don't believe you guys will keep winning."

"Hmph, just you wait and see," Yuan Shuzhen said defiantly.

She just loves to argue with Shen Hao.

Teased by the women, Yuan Fuzhen blushed, but remained standing beside Shen Hao without saying a word.

Then, the big names continued.

Suddenly, Shen Hao felt his leg being gently kicked and even rubbed.

Shen Hao discreetly lifted the tablecloth, glanced at it, and discovered that the foot actually belonged to the sixth concubine across the table.

And then she gently slid her hand across his calf—such an obviously seductive move left Shen Hao completely bewildered.

What is she trying to do? (Part 3)

116. The sixth concubine of the young mother-in-law

The sixth concubine was considered the most beautiful of Yuan Shikai's ten wives and concubines.

However, Shen Hao and she have no relationship, so why is she suddenly flirting with Shen Hao?

Seemingly sensing something, the sixth concubine looked up at Shen Hao and found him looking at her with a puzzled expression.

I glanced down instinctively, and that glance made me blush furiously; my cheeks turned as red as a steamed shrimp.

He quickly withdrew his foot.

The women looked at the sixth concubine with puzzled expressions.

Yuan Kewen asked with concern, "Sixth Aunt, what's wrong?"

Sitting opposite Yuan Kewen, his third daughter, Yuan Shuzhen, said, "What's wrong? What kind of card did you draw that made you so excited?"

Hearing this, the sixth concubine breathed a sigh of relief, seized the opportunity, and immediately covered up the card, saying, "I won't tell you."

Even the sixth concubine didn't expect that she kicked the wrong person; she originally intended to kick Yuan Kewen.

Unexpectedly, he kicked Shen Hao's leg.

Because the Yuan family members are not tall, the table is not very high either, and it's just right for them to sit on.

But Shen Hao, who is 250cm tall, felt a little uncomfortable sitting here and could only feel comfortable by stretching his legs out.

This caused the sixth concubine to make a huge blunder.

However, for some reason, a strange feeling arose in my heart, a feeling more intense than ever before, and my palms were inexplicably covered in sweat.

I can't even breathe properly.

Could it be that you haven't eaten meat in a long time and are craving it?

Yuan Kewen said, "Alright, alright, let's get started playing cards."

The women didn't pay much attention either.

Shen Hao finally realized that there was something going on between Yuan Kewen and this sixth concubine.

Tsk tsk, interesting, really interesting.

Yuan Shikai's second son had an affair with his most beautiful sixth concubine.

Shen Hao's gossipy nature was burning brightly.
