Chapter 107 Wind and Rain Converging in Jiangnan (12)
In the early morning of midsummer in the 1990s, there was often a quiet sky that was hard to see in later generations.
In a courtyard near the wall of the Forbidden City, an old man in black Tang suit was practicing slow Tai Chi at once. A lush ginkgo tree in the southeast corner of the yard covered almost half of the yard. The bright sunlight shone through the shade and sprinkled strings of light spots on the mottled and ancient blue-gray floor tiles.
In the center of the yard is a very wide lotus pond. Large oval lotus leaves cover all the space of the pond. A green frog is lying on a lotus leaf near the edge of the pond, and the lazy sheep is basking in the gentle morning sunshine.
The vermilion door sounded slightly, and a young man in a dark blue suit, a white plaid shirt and a crimson tie walked into the courtyard.
Unlike many people of the Republic in this era, even in the new century, young men wore typical British formal suits and French pleated sleeves. At the cuffs of a white shirt that had just been exposed, two silver anchor-shaped cufflinks were occasionally shining with a little bright silver glow.
The young man stood quietly under the ginkgo tree and watched the old man punching.
Five minutes later, Ning Jianzhong finished his last move, Tai Chi, and slowly closed his momentum.
"An Min, why did you come here so early?"
Ning Anmin smiled at Sun Yanfei, the chief guard of Ning Jianzhong, and said, "Uncle Sun, I'll do it."
Speaking of which, because Ning Lei won a crucial war in recent years and Yuanjia's rapid development, although Ning Jianzhong has retreated, his influence is even greater than when he did not retreat.
The guard treatment that Ning Jianzhong enjoyed when he was retired was level 2, equivalent to the treatment of member of the Politburo, ****, and deputy prime minister. The guard team leader Sun Yanfei could not be given the title of Chief Guard.
After Ning Lei successfully fought against Nansha, the central government had voices to increase Ning Jianzhong's treatment. At that time, Ning Jianzhong refused and the matter was temporarily dead. However, not long ago, after Yuanjia successfully swallowed Jardine, Ning Jianzhong's guard treatment was finally upgraded from level 2 to level 1.
Ning Jianzhong's guard leader can finally be named the more special title of Chief Guard. Generally speaking, only the leader of the guard power of the real core leaders of the Party and the country, such as the President of the Republic, senior officials, and *****, is qualified to be named Chief Guard.
For example, Comrade Li Yinqiao, who will almost become the title of the Chief Guardian of the Republic in the future.
He reached out to take the white towel and enamel teapot from Sun Yanfei's hand, and Ning Anmin walked a few steps and handed it to Ning Jianzhong.
"Grandpa, I thought about it for two days, but I still couldn't figure out what it means to ask me to take leave to Shanghai City."
Ning Jianzhong took the towel, wiped the thin sweat from his face, took a large teapot and took a sip, then stared at Ning Anmin up and down and looked again and again.
After a while, he nodded with a smile and said, "It's still the outfit your sister bought for you to look good, and it looks much more neat than yours."
"Your sister rarely participates in a Qingke competition. You, the eldest brother, ignores your concern. This outfit is really fed to the dog."
Speaking of which, the styles of the people of the Republic are almost all American in their suits.
Relatively speaking, compared with the English suits and French shirts of the old European aristocrats, it is almost the opposite of civilians and nobles. One is industrialized and large-scale production, one is hand-made, one is cheap and the other is expensive.
The biggest difference on the surface of the two is that in American suits, tie clips are the main accessories, while in old European cufflinks are the main accessories for suits.
Speaking of which, even if it is a top second generation, it would be quite boring to do a second generation if a country is not strong.
Ning Anran went abroad to study in the United States last year. The United States would not swear by whether you are Ning Jianzhong’s grandson? In terms of the history of an ordinary American scumbag, even if you know Ning Anran’s background, you will just equate him with the grandson of the Indian chief.
Then, an interesting place came. The dressing style of the second generation who were despised when studying abroad almost chose the style of British suits and French shirts. In terms of dress details and etiquette, they even strived for excellence than those from traditional European families.
The popularity of the Republic at this time is like this, so Ning'an people are naturally not immune to the common people. How could they stand on the shoulders of an era like someone, and examine the fashion and beauty of this era with condescending eyes.
However, a top custom suit on Savile Street, London, which can despise American nouveau riche, will cost a lot even in the new century. It costs 20,000 yuan for two cufflinks in this place. A suit, shirt, tie and accessories are all selected, and a hundred thousand yuan can be easily achieved.
If corruption is eliminated, the second generation of the Republic will definitely not be able to enjoy the skills of Saville tailoring.
Although the two girls didn't catch a cold with second aunt Niu Xueping, they had a very good relationship with Ning Anran. Taking advantage of Ning Anran's reasons for studying abroad, the two rich women lost money once. They booked two round-trip air tickets and sent their two brothers to the London Huntsman suit custom shop. Each of them ordered two suits. The travel expenses were included, and they spent about 500,000 yuan.
Of course, only two girls and Ning Anmin spent so much money on two sets of clothes. Ning Anran knew that if Ning Jianzhong knew that the two girls bought clothes so much, they would definitely not be able to escape the education.
The clothes on Ning Anmin were given to him by the twins.
After hearing Ning Jianzhong said this, Ning Anmin's eyebrows were shaking each other and his face turned green.
Ning Anmin Daning Wanjia and Ning Wanfei had a whole round. When they were young, they loved these exact same sisters very much. They were similar to Liang Yuan. As long as the two girls came to Beijing to reunite, Ning Anmin always followed the temperament of two girls. When they were young, they helped the two girls fight all over the courtyard and were invincible. They were twins in the capital.
After Ning Wanfei became successful in martial arts, she was reluctant to deal with someone. Instead, she often tried many skills in Ning Anran and Ning Anmin. These two people had a great headache for the female devil.
"Grandpa, please don't say that to Jiajia. Feifei, I would rather not have this boss than go there."
Ning Anmin had no interest in inheriting his father's business and joining the army. After falling out with his son Ning Jianguo, he gritted his teeth and directly entered Peking University to study economics by himself. After graduation, he was assigned to the State Planning Commission.
At present, Ning Anmin is working in the Second Department of the Basic Industry Department under the Planning Commission. However, during this period, Ning Anmin, who has retired from the old director of the Second Department, has a university diploma and five years of work experience, naturally became a popular choice.
