readx;? This theater is showing "Joyful Poster" today, a French movie, the time is very short, and it will end in less than a moment, but the plot is also interesting, it is about the life of the person in a painting. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThere is no one else in this small hall, only the distinguished guests of the Xie family invited by Chen Ji, all the guys in Western clothes are serving their group of people, and they also serve Western snacks and black tea, all of them are very attentive.

After the film ended, the lights came on, and no one drove them out, and the tea and snacks were not used up, so Chen Ji proposed to sit in the hall for a while, Deling looked around at the decoration in the hall, and said curiously: "Mr. Chen, this is a hall?"

Chen Ji said: "It was originally set up for VIPs. ”

De Ling smiled: "There was a flyer for the Yuping Cinema earlier, but I never heard that it opened to welcome customers, but I didn't expect Mr. Chen to be able to charter a hall before they opened." ”

Chen Ji smiled profoundly: "If Mrs. White likes to watch Western dramas, she is ready to wait." ”

De Ling raised his eyebrows, looked at him with some surprise and then looked at Wanlan: "This is Mr. Chen's property?"

Wanlan had never heard him talk about the movie theater, and she was also surprised at the moment: "This is your industry?"

Chen Ji laughed heartily at this time: "Yuping Yuping, I thought you could see it." ”

Chen Ji's character and Wanlan's character each choose one, which happens to be the origin of the name of Yuping Cinema, this thought is more useful than rhetoric, but because Xie Daozhong and his wife were still present, Wanlan did not speak.

Xie Daozhong was obviously satisfied with Chen Ji's thoughts, but he didn't say much, only asked if Chen Ji had any plans to move to Shanghai, after all, Shanghai was closer to Yangzhou and Zhenjiang.

"With this plan, I have already bought a Western-style apartment and will be able to move in when I get married. ”

Xie Daozhong stroked his beard and sighed slowly: "It seems that you are determined not to enter the office." ”

Chen Ji replied with a very strange sentence: "Not necessarily." ”

Xie Daozhong frowned: "The red-capped merchant is only afraid that it will be difficult to appear in the world. ”

Chen Ji smiled lightly: "What does Uncle Xie think of Sheng Xingsun?"

Sheng Xingsun is Sheng Xuanhuai's character, who followed Li Hongzhang in front of him, is a complete official businessman, and is known as the ancestor of a businessman. After Li Hongzhang's death, Sheng Xuanhuai's career was affected a little, but the Qing court wanted to do business in business, and it was inseparable from this "good friend of foreigners".

Xie Daozhong shook his head and said, "Sheng Xingsun is an official in business. ”

Chen Ji said: "Yes, since ancient times, power and money have not been separated, and when an official becomes bigger, he will naturally become a businessman, and when a businessman becomes bigger, he will naturally become an official." ”

There seemed to be a mystery in these words, Xie Daozhong looked at him for a while, and stroked his beard again: "Wealth in troubled times is not easy to keep. ”

"Only people can make money, uncle, can you make money," Chen Ji's expression had a bit of confidence in the world, and after he finished saying this, he laughed first: "In front of the reader, I am disrespectful." ”

"Say it from afar, you are the son of my old friend, and if you go in, you are my son-in-law," Xie Daozhong said: "Speaking from your own family, there is nothing disrespectful or disrespectful, you have a big idea, your father couldn't control you back then, you studied well in a military school in Japan, but when you returned to China to do foreign business, you must have a reason." ”

Chen Ji bowed to him: "Yes, thank you uncle for your understanding." ”

Xie Daozhong nodded, and asked coldly: "You took Huai'an to do business, who came up with this idea?"

Chen Ji was stunned, subconsciously glanced at Xie Huai'an, and then at Wanlan, at this time, Wanlan could never be confessed, because Xie Daozhong thought that women could only be in charge of the family in the inner garden. Chen Ji and Xie Huai'an glanced at each other, gritted their teeth and admitted the charge: "Yes...... It was me who mentioned two sentences to Chongrong. ”

Xie Huai'an immediately followed: "My son thought it was ...... The horizontal and vertical courses have been cancelled, and I don't know anything about those subjects in the Jingshi University Hall, so instead of being idle at home all day, it is better to find something to do. ”

Xie Daozhong looked at Wanlan again: "Ah Lan also knows Huai'an's thoughts?"

Wanlan hesitated for a moment, and said vaguely: "He...... I told my daughter a few times. ”

Xie Daozhong asked again: "The thread you pulled in the middle?"

Wanlan nodded.

Xie Daozhong smiled: "No wonder the correspondence between the house and the capital is so frequent, it turns out that you are the carrier pigeon again." ”

Wanlan observed the words and looks, and saw that Xie Daozhong did not mean to be angry, and hurriedly said: "Hengzhu, our yarn factory has also risen, father, this can't be regarded as a bad thing, right?"

"It's not a bad thing...... Xie Daozhong smiled helplessly, and sighed again: "But Huai'an can't do business all his life, he wants to have a fame, fortunately, I and your second uncle are still in power, and I will find a way to donate a platform for him in the future, and I will stay in Zhenjiang." ”

It is already a big concession to allow the eldest son to do business, Wanlan and Xie Huai'an both know that an official position is not only a requirement of Xie Daozhong, but also a requirement of the entire Xie family, and the patriarch of the Xie family must have the real power of Zhenjiang in his hands in order to ensure the stable survival of the clan in this land.

Xie Huai'an bowed to Xie Daozhong, and said respectfully: "Tell my father to bother." ”

Xie Daozhong sighed again: "You go back, pay 500,000 taels of silver from the treasury, the yarn factory led by the family, the family should invest the most shares and silver, when Huaichang comes back, let him concentrate on managing the factory, your brothers are the main officials and the other are the main businessmen, and they will be able to ensure the long-term peace of our family." ”

He had a good calculation, he didn't care that Xie Huaichang studied in a military school in the UK, and he didn't ask him if he would like to change his career to business after returning to China, Xie Huaichang had a big will, but Xie Daozhong didn't know about this matter, and he didn't plan to know.

Xie Huai'an didn't explain to him, let alone debate, he just bowed down and thanked him again, Mrs. Qin stretched out her hand and motioned for them to sit down, and praised Chen Ji with a smile: "Ah Ji is really capable, is this theater owned by you?"

Chen Ji nodded: "Yes, madam, I am my sole proprietorship, and it is troublesome to cooperate with others after all, besides, this is my first industry, and I want to be completely in charge of myself." ”

Mrs. Qin said to Xie Daozhong: "Master, let's recruit a talented uncle, that's a lucky thing, a person who can be famous in business must not be far from entering the office." Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, Ah Ji is considered to have established a business, when he is filial, the family will also become, he is young, it is not easy to do this step, his father is gone, but there is no Yue family? ”

Xie Daozhong thinks that he has a responsibility to Chen Ji, and in his heart he also treats him as the same as Xie Huai'an's brother, and he married Wanlan, Xie Daozhong hopes that Chen Ji can smoothly change from business to official, and Wanlan can also be honored and married because of this, and get an official title.

Deling and Wanlan chewed their tongues and whispered close to the root of her ear: "Your father is really strict. ”

"You haven't seen him really stern yet," Wanlan also quietly replied to her, "This is already considered mild." ”

De Ling was speechless, and sighed leisurely: "It's not a good idea to be an official in this court right now. ”

"Father doesn't believe this," Wanlan asked, "I heard that the people are making a constitution again?"

De Ling smiled: "June is making trouble, but isn't it the first thing to make trouble? The Queen Mother will not allow the constitution to be established while she is alive." ”

"Even you say the same," Wanlan said: "It seems that this constitution really can't be established, isn't the Queen Mother afraid that it will be too late to take the medicine after the right time?"

"Don't say that about her, Ah Lan," De Ling defended: "If the emperor is in power, he may not be better than the queen mother, he grew up in the court, there are only those eunuchs around him, he actually doesn't know anything, he just wants to reform, but he doesn't know how to change it is right." ”

Wanlan turned her head to look at her and said softly: "You respect the Queen Mother very much." ”

De Ling frowned and thought about it, smiled again, and didn't answer directly, but said another thing: "There is one thing, you may not believe it when I say it." ”

She said slowly: "After the first year of the first day, my father made such a judgment, he said that in no more than fifteen years, the Chinese will launch a revolution to end the rule of the Qing Dynasty, he once wanted to be the person who started the revolution, or become a part of them, but he finally became a diplomat of the Qing Dynasty, and his two daughters also entered the palace and became the female officials of the person he wanted to get rid of, and fate is sometimes so magical." ”

"I used to go on and out with my mother and my sister about our life abroad and about the political system to the old queen mother, so that she could believe that our ideas of reform could make the country better, but the queen mother didn't think so, she didn't want the country to be better, she just wanted the country to stay - or......" she organized her vocabulary and shrugged her shoulders like a foreigner: "Or it can be maintained while she lives." ”

"You should really tell my father these words," Wanlan sighed, "lest he always not understand what we are doing and think that he is not doing his job." ”

"If he doesn't believe you, then he won't believe what I say," said Deling, "because my words are the opposite of what he wants to do, and he will only want to contradict me, not listen to me." ”

She patted Wanlan on the shoulder, leaned over and hugged her again: "I know some Manchu girls in the capital, some of them have gone abroad to study, and after they come back, they are incompatible with their families, sometimes they complain to me, I think it would be good if they hadn't been abroad." Lan, you're much luckier than them. ”

Wanlan understood what De Ling meant, because she had never been abroad, so she was not incompatible with her family, and it seemed that she had successfully persuaded and changed Xie Huai'an, and he would always become the real head of the Xie family.

De Ling sat for a while, and said a few words to Wan Tian and Wan Xian, court life is really able to hone people's communication skills, what she said to Wan Tian was completely different from what she said to Wan Xian, and even what they said separately and together was very different. Wanxian immediately liked this elegant and well-informed sister, so much so that after Yu Deling had been separated for a long, long time, she still mentioned her from time to time. Of course, that's all for later.
