Chapter 16 Each has his own mind
Yangcheng in October, just like the name of the city, seems to respond to the poem of the Tang Dynasty poet Huang Chao, "The town of Chongtianxiang penetrates Chang'an, and the city is full of golden armor".
Under the sun, the garden of the old house near the lake is full of autumn.
This is the old mansion of the Mo family, which has been prosperous for eight generations now. Businessmen pay attention to feng shui and are also somewhat superstitious. Therefore, for the Mo family, the old mansion is an heirloom left by the ancestors. Each generation of family members will spend millions of dollars on repairs.
In the pavilion, she looked at the pond, swimming fish, chasing after her little by little fish food, the weather-beaten wrinkles on her forehead seemed to be stretched out at this moment, a pair of eyes had already narrowed into a curved crescent, silver hair, half-hidden, looming. The wrinkles on his face are like twists and turns of the past. Wearing an English black top hat, a new black tweed coat and a pair of mixed trousers, and a pair of shiny flat leather shoes on his feet, he looked like he was of high quality. Simple yet atmospheric and solemn. Judging by his appearance, he can't tell that he is 80 years old at all.
There was a slow sound from the wooden trestle, and she slowly approached again and again, and she raised her head to follow the voice.
"Old lady, excuse me."
The person who stopped in front of her, who seemed to be a middle-aged man in his forties and fifties, said respectfully to her.
"Say it. "The person who spoke was Mrs. Wei, the head of the eighth generation of the Ink House.
"It's the little master, he... The middle-aged man spoke, looking up at her face.
Old Madam Wei didn't stop her movements when she heard him mention the ink marks.
"Little master, he embezzled public funds privately, and two-thirds of the entire branch was embezzled. The middle-aged man, watching the fish food in her hand sprinkled into the pond one by one, a group of fish swarming up, said slowly.
"Hmmm... Lao Zhang, look at the fish in this pond, how cheerful they are. Originally, when they first came to the old mansion, they were just a group of small fry, but they have grown so big in just a few months. The more I look at it, the more I like it, and the more I look at it, the more gratified I become. At first, they were scared away when they saw the figures. Now, whenever they see someone coming, they all flock to it. Old Madam Wei took a deep breath and said in a steady tone. Then he put down the small round bowl of blue and white porcelain in his hand and took the handkerchief handed by the maid on the side.
"You are right, old lady, because they know who is the master and who can feed them. Zhang Da on the side, after hearing her words, echoed.
"By the way, you just said that you embezzled public funds?" After carefully rubbing the hands. Wearing a pair of white lace-trimmed gloves, it looks particularly neat. turned around and picked up the faucet crutches on the side and asked Zhang Da on the opposite side.
"Yes, old lady. “
"Is there a report because there is something to use? ”
"The little young master just asked Yunhai to mention the account. We don't know exactly what it will be used for. ”
"He is the only male of our Mo family, the future heir, and this little money should be taken out for him to play. Send a message to him, and do not forget your own home, and his daughter-in-law, who has not passed through the door. Those warblers and swallows outside, just play with them, you don't have to take them seriously. After Mrs. Wei finished speaking, she slowly left with the support of the maid.
"By the way, let's send the message tomorrow, the current country A, I'm afraid it's getting late, let him sleep well today" After walking a few steps, Mrs. Wei told again.
Zhang Da looked at her figure that was gradually moving away, and thought to himself, no one has ever told the old lady that the little young master went to country A, and he has only been there for two days, and she actually knows...
Beihai Mountain Garden, Lan Qi looked at Helian Mufeng, frowning and thinking, the young master asked him to guess... The person who can buy equity shares from the old man is definitely not an ordinary person. Could it be ...
"Young Master. You can't be talking about him... Lan Qi suddenly had an idea.
"Well, even if you haven't followed me for so long in vain, you're finally smarter. ”
"But... Young master, he can't be crazy, I originally thought that you would be ten times the price... I didn't expect anyone to be more than you... ”
"What more than me?"
"No... It's nothing, that's good, I'll go now... You need to be specific about where to go. Lan Qi almost said the word retarded, looking at Helian Mufeng's unhappy expression, he quickly diverted the topic.
"Moonlight," Helian Mufeng said casually.
"What?。。。 How do you like to hang out at bars whether you're a man or a woman... ”
"If you don't drink, how can you talk about business. If you let you go, you will go where so much nonsense. ”
Lan Qi, listening to his instructions, turned around and quickly left the study.
Inside the mansion, Moji looked at the contract in front of him. He took a deep breath and kept his elbows on the armrests of the couch and his hands on his forehead.
"Young master, if you do this, the old lady must have noticed it, and you are going to... Yun Hai looked at him and reminded.
"The soldiers will block, and the water will cover the earth. Inkmark had a slightly tired, hoarse voice.
"But... Is it worth it? You have been obedient to the old lady for so many years, for the sake of it... Yun Hai was halfway through his words, and he still looked at the ink marks with some distress and stopped.
"As long as it's for her, it's worth it. Naturally, Ink Marks understood what he meant.
There was a knock on the door, and Yunhai went to open the door. The housekeeper who came in looked at him, "Assistant Yunhai, just now a Mr. Lan called, saying that he wanted to meet the little master." ”
"Okay, I got it. After Yunhai heard it, the natural ink marks were also heard.
"It seems that some people can't sit still. Ink Mark still held his forehead and slowly spoke.
"Their Helian family, obviously let you almost empty the funds of the entire branch, and now they take the initiative to invite them. I don't know what kind of medicine is sold in this gourd. Yun Hai said with some indignation.
"Write back to them, I'll see you. Ink Mark said indifferently.
"Leng Lemon has not returned to the cold house. Ink Mark looked at the back of Yunhai who was about to leave and asked.
"The people below said, Miss Leng, I'll go back in the afternoon. He never came out again, but ... ”
"But what"
"It was Helian Mufeng who personally sent it back, and Miss Leng was wearing his clothes. Yun Hai replied without dragging mud and water this time.
When Ink Marks heard this, they were silent for a long time.
"Young master, you haven't closed your eyes for a few days, so your body can't bear it. Yun Hai looked at his pale face and reminded again.
"Let's go down," Inkmark waved his hand and motioned for him to get out.
After the sea of clouds went out, Moji slowly lay down on the sofa. On a scorching summer day, he was punished to kneel in the courtyard of the business school. Because of the summer vacation, the campus is exceptionally quiet. Gently raised the back of his hand and wiped the sweat from his forehead in one fell swoop.
"Why are you kneeling here?" suddenly a milky voice came. He raised his head, the sunlight was slightly dazzling, and in front of him was a little girl of seven or eight years old, with long hair as thick as seaweed, slightly curled, eyes like seawater, very white skin, ivory, and the whole person looked obedient and faint. Obviously smiling, his crystal-transparent eyes showed a hint of indifference.
"Who are you. He asked.
"My name is Cold Lemon. You can call me Lemon. So little brother, why are you kneeling here on such a hot day," Xiao Lengning replied obediently and asked again.
"I just want to see my mother" Ink Marks is three years older than her, and he doesn't know why he said what he thinks when she faces her questions. Maybe he was the same age, but he didn't think too much about it.
"I want to see my mother... Little brother, you'd better get up first. Your mother will definitely feel distressed when she sees you like this" Leng Ning heard her mother's words, her heart was sour, and then comforted.
"She can't see me anymore because she's gone. Little Ink Marks, hearing the words that my mother would feel distressed, said a little lowly.
"Then you, like Ningning, won't be able to see your mother for a while. But my grandfather said that being obedient and growing up well is what my mother wants me to do. She'll be back to see me later. If I hadn't grown up properly, then I wouldn't have been able to wait for her. She's going to be sad. Leng Ning looked at him, with big watery eyes, and said in a milky voice word by word.
"If you don't grow up well, you won't wait for her... Inkmark repeated her words. Suddenly, there was a light in his eyes. Only by living well can he see the people he wants to see and protect.
"Okay, little brother, don't kneel, your legs will hurt. Leng Ning looked at his brightened expression. Walked forward and stretched out his little white and tender hand, squatted down to take his hand, and helped him up.
"Thank you. ”
"Little brother, I'm leaving. I'll be going back with my grandfather in a moment. Leng Ning said and ran in the direction of the principal's office. But he didn't run a few steps. was picked up by several men who suddenly rushed over. Then a lady who looked to be sixty or seventy years old came and spoke. "If you don't listen to me, then you can't protect anyone you want to protect, including her. With that, a group of people walked away. He got up and tried to chase after him, but he knelt for too long, and as soon as he got up and ran two steps, he fell to the ground again. Looking at Leng Lemon who was taken away, she cried in fear and tried to break free from the person who hugged her.
He shouted helplessly, "I listen to you, I listen to you for everything." Please let her go!"
A sudden sadness and fear woke him up from his dream. There was also dense sweat on his forehead. He sat up from the couch, walked to the coffee table on the small balcony, picked up a glass of water, and drank a glass of water. Looking at the branches in the yard, swaying back and forth with the autumn wind, he dreamed again.
At eight o'clock in the evening, Lan Qi and Helian Mufeng took the lead in arriving at the 'Moonlight Bar'. Sitting on the leather sofa, Helian Mufeng shook the wine glass in his hand, and couldn't help but think of the scene when he and her first met. Then he chuckled.
"Young Master, don't you think of Miss Leng" Lan Qi on the side was attracted by his chuckle, and couldn't help but quip.
"How could it be, this young master has read countless women, how could he think of a little girl liar... Just talk a lot about you. When he asked him this, Helian Mufeng naturally refused to admit it.
Lan Qi didn't refute him, just smiled.
On the table near the entrance, the phone rang. Lan Qi glanced at it, thinking that they had arrived. So he got up and went to answer the phone.
