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

Hong glanced at Yuan Kewen, then ignored him.

Shen Hao laughed and said, "There's nothing I can do about being handsome."

"You're not humble at all."

I heard that Tang Xiangming filed a complaint against you.

Shen Hao said, "This news travels really fast."

“Haha, Tang Xiangming is really stingy, good for nothing but causing trouble. He dares to disrespect Ahao. We’ll have to teach him a lesson sooner or later. I believe in you,” Yuan Kewen said.

"necessary"

"Hurry up, we can watch a play tonight after dinner," Yuan Kewen said.

Shen Hao looked puzzled: "Watching a show? Who's fighting?"

Yuan Kewen was speechless: "It's just a normal opera performance, what fighting? Where did you get that idea?"

Tonight at Yiyuan Theater, we're watching "Meilong Town" with Wang Keqin as Sister Feng. It's absolutely fantastic, her singing is incredible, and it'll definitely be worth the trip!

Young nobles and warlords of the Republic of China era all enjoyed watching plays, but Shen Hao couldn't appreciate them.

Having never been exposed to these kinds of environments since childhood, I naturally don't feel anything about them.

Besides, I wouldn't understand anyway.

Shen Hao wasn't interested, but Qingqing, Cheng Shuzhen, and Hong Guniang's eyes lit up.

They had certainly heard of Wang Keqin's name, but had never had the chance to meet him.

After all, their fame is so great that they perform all over the country, and most people really can't hear them.

Yuan Kewen laughed and said, "Ah Hao, look, all your concubines want to go see it. Aren't you going with them?"

"Alright then, let's go take a look," Shen Hao said;

They arrived at Duan Zhigui's governor's mansion.

As soon as Shen Hao's carriage came to a stop, the band at the entrance began to play music, and the honor guards began to salute.

A hundred-meter-long red carpet was laid out, and Duan Zhigui personally went out to greet them.

The spectacle was impressive and caused quite a stir!

It can be said that they gave Shen Hao a lot of face.

Duan Zhigui's first impression on Shen Hao was that, like Yuan Shikai, he had a shaved head.

No wonder he's his godson, even his hairstyle is similar.

"Haha, I've long heard that Governor Shen is a young hero, and seeing him today, I can confirm that he is indeed extraordinary and dignified."

"It is an honor to have you grace our humble abode with your presence."

Shen Hao laughed and said, "Governor Duan is too kind. You are a senior, and I should be learning from you."

Duan Zhigui was very satisfied with Shen Hao's humility.

"Haha, what's with the title 'Commander Duan'? I'm a few years older than you, just call me Brother Duan and I'll call you Brother Shen. Come in, come in!"

Once inside, Duan Zhigui's family members all greeted him in unison, "Greetings, Governor Shen!"

Shen Hao nodded, as a return gift.

Duan Zhigui said, "What are you all standing there for? Go serve the dishes!"

"Yes"

Upon entering the living room, Duan Zhigui said, "Brother Shen, there are rumors that you can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk. I don't quite believe it. You'll have to have a good drink later!"

Shen Hao laughed and said, "Then let's have a good drink later, and not leave until we're drunk!"

"Alright, let's drink until we drop. I want to see if Governor Shen is really as good at drinking as the rumors say."

A moment later, the servants brought out a number of dishes.

These are all unique to Hubei.

"Come and try our Hubei specialties: Honghu lotus root, cured meat, crayfish, bean curd sheets, and Huangpi steamed pork with sugar," Duan Zhigui said.

Shen Hao took a bite and nodded, saying, "It's really good."

"That's a must. Come on, have a cup of our local rice wine."

"Our Xiaogan rice wine is as white as jade, with a delicate fragrance, sweet and refreshing taste, rich yet not cloying, thin yet not runny, and leaves a lingering, warming aftertaste," Duan Zhigui said with a smile.

Yuan Kewen said, "You've only been governor for a few days, yet you're so familiar with Hubei."

"That's a must. I'm a foodie, a gambler, a mahjong player, and a fan of opera. That's about all my hobbies."

"On my first day here, I tried all the local snacks," Duan Zhigui said.

“That’s right, that’s what you call enjoying life,” Yuan Kewen nodded.

After taking a few bites, Duan Zhigui had someone pour him some wine, a low-alcohol rice wine.

Duan Zhigui was initially quite arrogant, thinking that Shen Hao's claim of being able to drink a thousand cups without getting drunk was an exaggeration.

But when the two of them finished five bowls of food, Duan Zhigui gave up.

"Brother Shen, I'm convinced, I'm truly convinced. You really are the God of Wine, I have no more doubts."

Duan Zhigui was dizzy and felt bloated even after drinking five bowls of water; his mouth was agape.

However, Shen Hao remained very calm.

It seems there was no impact whatsoever.

Shen Hao said, "This is nothing, we've just had our fun, let's continue."

Duan Zhigui's expression changed, and he shook his head, saying, "No, Brother Shen, I really can't. You should go find Kevin."

Knowing Shen Hao's alcohol tolerance, Yuan Kewen shook his head and refused.

"No, I'm no match for them. I think we should skip the drinking and play mahjong instead."

Upon hearing about playing mahjong, Duan Zhigui, who had been feeling dizzy, immediately perked up.

"Great idea! Let's play mahjong, hahaha!"

"Someone, bring me the mahjong tiles!"

Duan Zhigui didn't give Shen Hao a chance to refuse and immediately pulled him to play mahjong.

Then, Shen Hao, Yuan Kewen, Duan Zhigui, and Duan Shuyun, the imperial inspector of Hubei, started playing mahjong.

After playing for more than an hour, Shen Hao lost a thousand silver dollars, which made Duan Zhigui extremely happy.

They addressed him as "Brother Shen" repeatedly, showing him great affection.

"Brother Shen, I'll reimburse you for all the activities tonight. I'll make sure you're completely ecstatic," Duan Zhigui said mysteriously with a smile.

Shen Hao said, "Oh, are you going to see a play?"

Duan Zhigui chuckled and said, "I know that Governor Shen doesn't like gambling, but he likes drinking and playing with women. We've drunk the wine and played mahjong."

You're a guest from afar, and I've won your money, Brother Shen. How can I possibly feel at ease?

We must arrange it for you, so your trip won't be in vain.

Shen Hao's lips twitched. When did he become known as a womanizer?

Who the hell leaked this?

Seeing that Shen Hao remained silent, Duan Zhigui assumed that Shen Hao had tacitly agreed and laughed, "Brother Shen, don't worry, I've arranged everything perfectly for you tonight, making you feel incredibly satisfied. You'll even want to stay in Hubei and never go back home 2.0."

Yuan Kewen asked curiously, "Oh, what kind of person makes you so confident?"

Duan Zhigui whispered in Yuan Kewen's ear, "A theatrical troupe recently came to Yiyuan."

Among them, the duets of the mother and her two daughters, "The Gathering of Heroes" and "Huarong Road," are truly exceptional.

The key is that these two sisters are still young, only 15 years old, and their mother is also quite good.

Do you think this actor's ventriloquism skills are bad?

"I guarantee Brother Shen will be so happy he won't want to leave Guangdong."

Shen Hao, with his sharp hearing and keen eyesight, heard a cough.

Damn it, I treated you like a brother, and you actually tried to harm me.

Yuan Kewen laughed and said, "You know what, Ah Hao really likes this kind of thing."

Are those two sisters still alive?

"Kevin, don't you trust your older brother to handle things?"

Haha, just you wait and see!

"That's fine. You can make arrangements after the show tonight."

"no problem".

202. No wonder he's the number one pimp.
