145 CHAPTER II
"The Red Emperor eats saline, and Wei Hou wears silk. Chenghuang tribute tea, Mo Wang cast ceramics. ”
This is the most famous four families in the coastal area, although they are located on one side, but there is no entanglement of interests, the four heads of the family all appreciate each other, quite a feeling of sympathy, so a huge network of relationships is established from these four families, they are the day of Hu City.
Hu City is a natural harbor, but also the country and foreign exchange of the largest bazaar, there are endless business opportunities, but also from time to time brewing intrigues, here people come and go mixed, can control the people of this place, who can underestimate?
"There are only three generations of prosperity and decline, peeking at the heavens, and there is a way to order."
The man with a wide hat with a very low brim staggered to an imposing gate, his voice low and unusually strange.
"It's another one who came to cheat money, it's really our Wei family who is so fooled." A servant's voice sounded, and the voice that was not deliberately lowered let the visitor hear it completely.
The person who came showed the curtain in his hand, and did not say anything about seeking progress, but saw two words written on the curtain: "Si Ming".
Two well-dressed servants tried to drive the people away, and within two steps they drove out of a car, and they went to open the gate first.
By the time the servant was ready to drive away the "liar," the man had already stood in front of the car, blocking the way, and they were alarmed, and it was too late to drive the man away.
"Hello, Mr. Wei." The man took off his hat as a sign of respect.
Everyone couldn't help but be stunned, the person had a delicate and dignified appearance, eyebrows like Yuandai, but his eyes were as warm as jade, which made people feel comfortable, but he was a beautiful girl, but his temperament seemed to have gone through vicissitudes.
At this time, a man in his thirties, with a mustache and a mature temperament, walked out of the car, "Hello, I'm Wei Xi." What is your ······?"
"I'm a wandering warlock, you don't have to know my name, but you can call me a commander." She gestured to the writing on the curtain.
Wei Xi has been exposed to Western education since he was a child, but he has been exposed to it in China, and he still has a trace of respect for these similar fortune tellers, but there are too many liars in this world, who knows that this woman who looks incredibly beautiful is not a liar?
Si Ming didn't care about Wei Xi's secret suspicions and speculations, and said to himself: "The Wei family has been adhering to the belief of saving the country and trying to survive since the old man Wei abandoned the official, and when you arrived at Mr. Wei, you joined the Nanhai government and concentrated on industry to provide economic support for the Nanhai government, and you are also ······famous in Hu City."
There was a big secret in this passage, but it was easily said by Si Ming, Wei Xi's face suddenly became solemn, no matter who this person was, the information she had meant that she was definitely not an ordinary person.
"So, what does Miss Si Ming want me to do?" Wei Xi was ready for her to put forward all kinds of difficult conditions, but Si Ming only smiled deeply.
"The rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband, and the fate is free from the world, but after all, it is this territory that is born and raised, and he also admires the Wei family very much, and only hopes that when the government navy of the South China Sea is defeated by Dongying, Mr. Wei can send the young lady to Germany."
Wei Shengqing looked at the situation outside through the car window, and saw the beautiful sister smiling at her, and smiled back.
Although she is a girl, she has been with the wharf employees since she was a child, and has developed a tomboy appearance, not wearing a skirt, but running around in a Western vest or a Chinese gown.
It's not that she thinks she's a boy, it's just that it's easy to move, if she looks like a lady like Xiaohong and reads books all day long, what's the point?
But Xiaohong is a very interesting person, Wei Shengqing's big eyes are full of expectation, this time she came out to play with Xiaohong.
Xiaohong was only born a quarter of an hour earlier than her, but she behaved like a little adult, and only when she faced Wei Shengqing did she have some childishness.
When Mrs. Wei and Mrs. Hong were pregnant, the two families had an agreement, if it was a man and a woman, they would set a baby kiss, if they were both boys, they would become brothers, and if they were both girls, they would become sisters, but unfortunately Xiao Wei had never called Sister Xiaohong. This is also the child's unwillingness, calling Xiaohong a sister, don't you have to listen to her?
When Wei Xi returned to the car, Wei Shengqing glanced at his father, and when he went to see the beautiful sister again, Si Ming had disappeared without a trace.
"Dad, who is that beautiful sister?"
Wei Xi was stunned and said, "Her name is Si Ming." ”
In this era, there are very few people with cars, so there are inevitably a lot of strange eyes on the road, all the way to the dance hall in the center of Hu City, Wei Xi hugged Wei Shengqing and pulled Mrs. Wei to the private room on the top floor.
On the first floor was the sound of noisy music, Wei Shengqing had been frowning, but on the top floor was a melodious violin, and she couldn't help but laugh comfortably.
"This kid is quite sensitive to music." Someone teased.
Wei Shengqing's eyes lit up, jumped out of his father's arms, and shouted sweetly at that person: "Hello Uncle Hong." ”
"Good! Good! This elegant young man, dressed in the most popular suit at that time, glanced at Wei Shengqing gently, and said, "Old Wei, you have raised all the daughters of your family into children." ”
Wei Xi laughed: "It's still a leather boy." ”
Wei Shengqing grimaced at her father and threw herself at the little girl carved on the side.
"Little Red!"
The girl had already noticed Wei Shengqing, and hurriedly dodged, Wei Shengqing was embarrassed to stop not hitting the table, "Xiaohong, you are avoiding me again." ”
The child's aggrieved expression and misty eyes were too pitiful, but Xiaohong didn't mean to be comforted, and pouted: "What if you pounce on it like this, if it gets on my clothes?" ”
Xiaohong stretched out one hand from behind her back, holding a sugar gourd in her hand, with a disgusted expression on her face, "I don't know why you like to eat this kind of thing." ”
Xiao Wei's eyes lit up: "Sugar gourd!" She didn't answer, the monkey bit it urgently, Xiaohong was frightened, and said hurriedly: "You slow down, and no one is robbing you, don't choke!" ”
"This is what Xiaohong gave me." Xiao Wei said vaguely.
"It's not like I haven't bought it for you." Xiaohong rolled her eyes, but her delicate doll-like face looked extremely delicate.
Xiao Wei suddenly became frightened, "But, but, I forgot to bring you peach blossom cake······"
"White-eyed wolf."
Little Red turned around and walked to the other side.
Xiao Wei hurriedly caught up.
"These two kids have a really good relationship." Uncle Hong and Wei Xi looked at each other and laughed.
This time it was a family banquet for the four families, the heads of the four families were actually like brothers, and several families often got together for dinner, and sometimes the market in Hu City was set up while talking and laughing at the dinner table.
"We've all arrived, why hasn't Lao Mo, the host, come yet?"
As Uncle Hong was talking, there was a burst of laughter outside the door, the laughter was soft and a little feminine, but they got up and greeted him.
It was five people who came in.
"Uncle Mo, Uncle Cheng, Aunt Cheng." The two children said hello, and then pulled the other two out in the blink of an eye.
"I met Ah Cheng on the way, and we came over together. I didn't expect you to be in such a hurry to eat and come over so early. ”
Uncle Mo is a boy and a girl, but his temperament is like a hero who stands up to the sky, Wei Shengqing has always felt so. Uncle Cheng's appearance is much ordinary, but he is very resolute between his eyebrows.
The people of the four families got together, a bunch of men and men, a bunch of women and women, and a bunch of children and children.
It's strange to say, they all gave birth to girls, Wei Xi and Uncle Mo Uncle Hong are okay, Uncle Cheng wants a boy to think about it in a hurry, I heard that Mrs. Cheng is ready to use family methods to serve.
No matter how good the relationship between several people is, this matter still can't be managed.
"Chengquan, you don't go out all day to study female workers at home, do you just want to be a lady?" Wei Shengqing pursed her lips and expressed her dissatisfaction that her friends didn't come out to play.
"It's nice if you just stay in a safe place and don't worry about food and clothing." Cheng Quan's thin and small, quite shy. Only among the sisters who have played since childhood will say a few words of truth.
"I don't have big ambitions." Mo Shang did not hide his ambitions, "I want to inherit my father's wish so that all women can be with the person they like!" ”
"What kind of wish is this, you really plan to rescue all the women in the land of smoke and willows?" Hongyan propped up her head, "I also want to be like my father, support an organization that really makes a difference, let them draft laws to protect everyone's lives." ”
Wei Shengqing didn't know why she talked about her ambition, she scratched her head, and said, "I probably just want everyone to live together in peace." ”
"What ambition is this?" Mo Sheng and Hongyan shushed.
Uncle Mo suddenly interjected: "This is the greatest ambition, the most difficult ambition." He smiled a little bewitchingly.
Wei Shengqing, who was approved by Uncle Mo, suddenly puffed up his chest proudly: "So I'm the boss!" ”
"You're obviously the old ······"
"Shame on you."
"Xiao Wei, you are so stupid!"
For these children, these daily things are very mundane, to borrow a phrase from Nalan, "it was just ordinary at that time".
When Wei Shengqing goes crazy on the dock, he will hear many stories.
The men in the shirts said that Dongying is a small country, not as big as a county, and they laughed: "Can it still be a country?" ”
Later, they said that Dongying had a lot of powerful things, such as a big ship as powerful as an ancient divine beast, "I'm afraid it's the Dragon King's personal soldiers." ”
Then Wei Shengqing saw fewer and fewer familiar faces, and there were fewer and fewer stalls and vendors on the street, and her favorite sugar gourd stall could no longer be found.
The men who remained at the dock rarely had the opportunity to rest, and even when they rested, they rarely talked about the things that were not the country's Dongying.
There were a lot of strangely dressed people on the streets, their clothes were a bit like the robes of old times, but they were very strange.
Xiaohong and her have been almost inseparable for a while, but now there are few opportunities to meet, I heard that the Hong family has the intention of moving to the northwest, but it is still under consideration.
The Nanhai government seems to have had friction with Dongying, the Wei family's money was transferred out in large sums, and Wei Xi was busy looking for money all day long.
"That Dongying, there is something that can fly into the sky and drop bombs!" "What's it called······ Plane! ”
"There is no one in this bombing city."
"It's miserable."
This was the last thing Wei Xi heard before she called Wei Shengqing away.
"Say goodbye to your Uncle Hong's family."
"Why? Are they moving? Wei Shengqing was shocked and bounced very high.
"No, you're going to study in Germany soon."
Weissey exhaled a puff of smoke, he hadn't smoked in a long, long time.
