Lin Hongwen nodded yes, Ru Ting pushed the wine glass to him, "I still remember when I asked you what kind of daughter-in-law you wanted, you blushed, can you marry a wife now?" ”

"Not yet", Lin Hongwen said with a smile, "I have been very busy in the past few years, and I can't take care of it anymore, and if I marry, I will snub others, so it is better not to marry first." ”

"You don't think much about your daughter-in-law like this", Ru Ting said, "I welcome the delivery here every day, and many people not only have wives at home, but also concubines, who still come to spend all day drinking and letting their wives and concubines stay alone in the empty room." ”

Lin Hongwen took a sip of leather wine, he likes to drink this in the summer, although it is a little bitter, but the feeling of bubbles bursting in the mouth is really refreshing.

"They are left and right," Lin Hongwen said with a smile, "I don't have that kind of blessing." ”

Ru Ting likes to see him laugh, Lin Hongwen's eyes are slightly long, the tails of his eyes are thin and curved, although he is black and white when he is not smiling, and his eyes are full of affection. But Ru Ting still likes the way his eyes look like crescents when he laughs.

"What does it mean to be unblessed", Ru Ting interrupted him, "If I can't marry you, that's no blessed." ”

"You've praised me to the sky for a while", Lin Hongwen shook his head.

"My brother is a cold-faced and warm-hearted person", Yuan Ting looked at him and said, "I remember that although my brother didn't pay much attention to me at that time, he was really good to me." ”

"You remember it clearly."

"How can I not remember clearly", Yuan Ting closed her eyes and said with a smile, "As soon as I close my eyes, I can see what you looked like at that time, clearly." ”

"Okay", Lin Hongwen said, "What do you do with that stupid look so clearly?" ”

"Who said stupid?" Yuan Ting pretended to be angry and said, "My brother was very well-read at that time. ”

"Stop", Lin Hongwen couldn't stand it and interrupted her, "Are you praising me, or hurting me, I haven't read a lot of books until now." ”

Yuan Ting knew that she had said it, and smiled a little shyly, "My brother came over today to ......"

"Oh, talk about some business," Mr. Lin said.

"Where is my brother doing things now?"

"United Firm," replied Lin Hongwen, "have you heard of it?" ”

"Is it the one on Xinxing Street?" Yuan Ting asked, "The style of clothes there is very good-looking, and they are often changed to new ones." ”

"Yes, that's it," Lin said, "and there's a semicolon on the streets of China, and I'm there." ”

Yuan Ting nodded and said, "Coincidentally, the boss I just greeted also talked about your firm." ”

"Which boss is it?" Lin Hongwen asked quietly.

"His surname is He, and his name is He Gui", Yuan Ting said, "He said that your firm had a batch of woolen wool that sold well before, and he also wanted to buy some goods." It's just that it's hot, and I can't sell it if I enter, so I have to wait until autumn to talk about it. ”

Lin Hongwen nodded, "I've also heard of this Boss He, and it is said to be very generous?" ”

"Yes, every time I come to make a move, I am very generous", Yuan Ting smiled, "I thought he was in the silk business, but it doesn't seem to be very similar." I've heard him say a lot of things, silk, cloth, hardware, medicinal herbs, everything. ”

"Do business, do whatever you want to make money", Lin Hongwen said, "You don't have to stick to your own one-third of an acre." ”

Ru Ting looked at Lin Hongwen with her chin on her chin, looking at herself happy, Lin Hongwen said funny, "What are you happy about?" ”

Ru Ting said, "I don't know, probably because I'm happy to see you." ”

Lin Hongwen shook his head helplessly, "I didn't let you say it before, you talked endlessly, why are you getting older now, and you don't talk much." ”

Ru Ting smiled and said, "Do you remember? ”

"Remember", Lin Hongwen looked at Ru Ting and said, "I remember everything." ”

I remember that you broke into the hospital when I was ignorant and smiled at me, I remember that you spoke exquisitely but had a suspicious heart, I remember that you cried freely, I remember, Lin Hongwen thought with a smile.

The two chatted for a while, and Lin Hongwen excused himself and said that it was too late to go back, and Ru Ting sent him all the way to the door. Lin Hongwensai gave her some money, "Take the flowers, I see that your clothes are still the fashionable style last year, next time I come, bring you a new one." ”

Lin Hongwen looked at Ru Ting's gradually red eyes, reached out to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said softly, "Don't cry." ”

After Lin Hongwen appeased Ru Ting, he went out along Peach Blossom Lane, the alley was long, he walked slowly, and he didn't look back once. So he wouldn't know that Ru Ting had been standing at the door and watching him quietly until he couldn't see it.

60.

After Lin Hongwen went back, he told Xu Qingzhi that Shenlancheng wanted to buy patterns, Xu Qingzhi said that Shenlancheng was very particular about things, and he also agreed to sell patterns, and said that he could cooperate if he had the opportunity in the future. Lin Hongwen brought the words to Shenlan City, and Shen Lancheng was so happy that he forced Lin Hongwen to give Lin Hongwen a wad of rubles, saying that he was grateful for helping him speak. Lin Hongwen saw that he really couldn't get rid of it, so he put it away, and said in his heart that your gift could be regarded as being sent to the main master.

Zhou Shiying was afraid that there would be no one to follow him after he left, Lin Hongwen would not be able to come forward, and He Mu was not good at dealing with these people, so only Xu Qingzhi would be left. Therefore, when the public welfare meeting was held again, Zhou Shiying introduced Xu Qingzhi to everyone, and everyone only knew that there were two bosses in Hezhong Commercial Bank, Zhou Shiying and He Mu, and this time they understood why people could eat on the streets of China, and it turned out that there was such a boss who had stayed abroad.

Although Xu Qingzhi is not as delicate as Zhou Shiying, he is also a humble gentleman with a lot of courtesies, and after chatting a few words, everyone learned that his family opened a medical hall, and they couldn't help but add a good impression to their hearts.

Everyone's attention was on Xu Qingzhi, so no one saw He Gui's face sink. He remembered that when he visited a few months ago, Xu Shihuai said that he was selling his reputation and that his son did not need to worry about him. This is only a few months of work, Xu Qingzhi is already one of the bosses of Hezhong Commercial Bank, but he really doesn't have to worry about it. It's no wonder that Xu Shihuai refused to buy it at that time, thinking that his relationship with Hezhong Commercial Bank at that time was extraordinary.

In July 1903, the entire line of the Eastern Railway was opened to traffic

Lin Hongwen sat in a rocking chair and watched Zhou Shiying pack his luggage back and forth. Zhou Shiying saw him sitting lazily in his rocking chair, angry, "What are you doing here?" ”

"Send you", Lin Hongwen said seriously.

"You sit there like an uncle, and you don't even stretch out your hand, what the hell are you doing here?" Zhou Shiying said dissatisfiedly, "Can you send me someone else?" ”

"Because I miss you the most", Lin Hongwen stood up and reached out to pick up the box that Zhou Shiying had sorted out, "I called a car and waited outside, let's go." ”

The two got into the carriage one after the other, and Lin Hongwen was absent-minded all the way, knocking his fingers on Zhou Shiying's suitcase.

After getting out of the car, Zhou Shiying finally couldn't help but ask, "Why are you so soulless?" ”

"Isn't it because you're leaving? I can't bear you, and I don't know how much to worry about when you go. Lin Hongwen took out an envelope and stuffed it into Zhou Shiying's arms, "I heard that only rubles are recognized along the Eastern Railway, I have deposited some money in Daosheng Bank, if there is not enough on the road, you can find one to take it out." ”

"I brought a lot", Zhou Shiying didn't take the envelope, "You still keep the money, although business has been good since the beginning of the spring, but after all, it didn't open for half a year last year." Originally, our foundation was not thick enough, in case something happened again......"

"There is no case", Lin Hongwen interrupted him, "You get on the train for a while, just think about how to make money along the way, and how to make money in the future, don't have the rest of the worries, I have me here." ”

Zhou Shiying lowered his head and smiled, took the envelope in his hand, and stuffed it into the mezzanine attached to his chest, "I know, even if I don't worry about you, there are still Qingzhi and He Mu." ”

Lin Hongwen glanced at him, took out two small red ropes from his pocket and tied them to Zhou Shiying's suitcase. Zhou Shiying took a closer look, and there was still a talisman tied to the rope, "What is this?" ”

"Peace charms, one is when I was doing business with the Japanese, it was that Yamada, you know, the one who always bought silk with us, he gave it. The other one is what I went to Ciyun to beg for, and I will tie it all for you", Lin Hongwen squatted next to the suitcase and said as he tied it.

"Let's discuss something", Zhou Shiying bent over and said.

"What?"

"Next time I go out again, you let Qingzhi come to see me off."

"The two of us have even been to brothels together, and you actually dislike me?" Lin Hongwen looked up at him.

"I'm afraid you're tired," Zhou Shiying said.

Lin Hongwen saw that someone had already started to get on the bus, and knew that the time was almost up, so he stood up and whispered, "Be careful in everything." ”

"You also take care", Zhou Shiying finished speaking, lifted the suitcase on the ground and got into the car.

Lin Hongwen listened to the piercing whistle and watched the train move slowly. He remembered that at this time five years ago, he had come to this land with the road construction team in a daze, and he didn't know if he would be able to survive at that time. They were building roads every day, but they never thought that the road would be like this. Zhou Shiying said that the railway could go all the way to Europe, but Lin Hongwen did not know how far it would be or how long it would take. He just thought that the people who came with him at that time were not around now, and if they were, I don't know if I would be happy or sad when I saw the road being repaired and the train roaring......
