As the saying goes, there is heaven, there is Suzhou and Hangzhou, and Qiantang is equally famous in ancient and modern times at home and abroad, relative to geographical conditions, and Qiantang City has many similarities, Suzhou City was founded in 514 B.C. in the period of King Wu Lu, with a long history, a gathering of humanities, majestic scenery, giving birth to a unique charm of Wu culture.

Her beauty, elegant, like a classical beauty woman, quietly coiled in the southeast of Jianghuai Province, with the reputation of "Jiajiangnan" Suzhou City Garden, small bridges and flowing water around Gusu City, fascinating.

Since the reform and opening up, with the rapid take-off of the coastal economy, it has gradually become one of the important sub-central cities in the north wing of the Yangtze River Delta Economic Circle, and is an important economic, foreign trade, industrial and commercial center and an important cultural, artistic, educational and transportation hub in Jianghuai Province.

One day in early June, with a gentle breeze and warm sunshine, Chen Mingyuan set foot in this ancient city south of the Yangtze River.

After Mu Jiayin abruptly sent out the invitation that day, he hung up the phone without much explanation, although Chen Mingyuan was a little puzzled, but the old lady of the Mu family specially invited herself to the banquet to celebrate her birthday, presumably it would not be because of pure personal feelings, so she called home to inquire.

Sure enough, the old man Chen had already learned the news, and bluntly said that the two families had some friendship, and the old lady of the Mu family had a seventieth birthday, so it was natural that she should do some courtesy, but Chen Guoliang was busy with affairs, and throughout the family, the relationship between Chen Mingyuan and the Mu family was the closest, so it was decided that Chen Mingyuan would talk about it on behalf of the family.

Of course, this consideration also hopes to take this opportunity to resolve the previous mustard of the two families, and Chen Mingyuan, as a party, is naturally duty-bound.

It seems that the Mu family also needs the energy of the Chen family in the Zhonghai Department, hoping to get the approval of the supreme leader He Xiangdong through the relationship between the old man Chen, and at the same time, the Chen family also needs to use the Mu family's deep-rooted position in Yanjing to strive for the consensus of the traditional family, and finally achieve the goal of win-win cooperation.

As the two core families of the two major political factions in Huaxia, this birthday banquet is undoubtedly an initial signal of cooperation, and to put it mildly, it is also related to the future situation of these two major political factions.

Although it feels a little abrupt, the two families have already put out a reconciled attitude, and Chen Mingyuan can't refuse, and his original determination is ruthless, so that Dong Zhenying and Mu Tianran really can't get off the stage, and it is not impossible to take this opportunity to come to the door to explain.

When his thoughts were flying, a cold female voice suddenly came from the side: "You shouldn't be nervous, right?" ”

Chen Mingyuan followed the prestige, in the driver's seat, Ye Qingxue continued to drive the car with a familiar car, her eyes were straight and her expression was clear, the sun was projected through the car window, reflecting her ice blue women's suit with a bright luster, and her graceful and delicate body curves were also outlined, faint willow moon eyebrows, quiet almond eyes, quite pretty Qiongyu nose, plump cherry mouth, pretty white and crystal cheeks without a trace of flaws, beautiful and natural, without any pink delicacy decoration, jet black hair on the head of the bun, It is clear and refreshing.

Ye Qingxue has a great relationship with the Mu family, in addition to her personal relationship with Mu Jiayin, as well as her achievements in helping Mu Dingyin gain a firm foothold in Lingnan Province, it is said that the old lady of the Mu family also appreciates this independent and resolute woman, and this birthday, she was naturally invited to come together.

Since Qiantang and Suzhou are not far away, Chen Mingyuan simply came with her hitchhiker, and Ye Qingxue has been to Mu's house more than once, and with her to take care of it, at least it can save a lot of troubles.

Seeing that he didn't respond, Ye Qingxue's cold face showed a little narrow smile, and teased: "It's really strange, I always thought that you were not afraid of heaven and earth, and I thought that I didn't even frown when I refuted the Mu family's family affairs, but this time I just asked you to have a glass of wine, and you couldn't give up along the way, should you think that people want to take you over to vent their anger?" ”

Chen Mingyuan laughed at it, he naturally wouldn't be naΓ―ve enough to think that the Mu family would do such a despicable trick for these things.

Ye Qingxue really thought that he was worried about the embarrassment of the meeting, so she groaned and said with relief: "Don't worry, it's been so long, Xiao Ran has long been fine, Jiayin's brothers and sisters-in-law are all sensible people, there is no such small belly, on a big day, you come to the door to send your heart, they will not be difficult for you." ”

After a pause, she said softly with a strained face: "In addition, I will also help take care of the ......"

Chen Mingyuan glanced at her and said with a smile: "Then you will have to work." ”

"It's nothing, don't get me wrong, I just don't like to owe people favors." Ye Qingxue tried her best to pretend to be indifferent, and said, "In Wenhai, you also helped me." ”

Chen Mingyuan knew that she was referring to her help to say hello to Liang Qiru, take care of Cai Jinhua's company, and asked, "Everything over there is fine, right?" ”

Ye Qingxue nodded, and said with a little ease: "It's almost over, with Mayor Liang's face, those partners don't dare to mess around anymore, my mother's body has recovered, and the company is basically back on track." ”

After hesitating, she frowned and said, "But...... My dad still didn't change his mind, and he had to invest money to buy the original shares of Wengang Company, and I had no choice. ”

Ye Wanshun was already ready to move before, and now once the news of Wengang's listing was announced, he naturally would not easily change his mind, seeing that he could not move the funds, he simply sold the tannery at a low price, and took all his savings to the securities market.

"If he has to live this gambling addiction, let him play well enough." Chen Mingyuan smiled meaningfully: "It's okay to say that if there is a change in the plan, he will lose some money at most, and he should pay the tuition fee and remember it for a long time." ”

Ye Qingxue glared at him angrily, and complained: "You said it easily, when that person is really bankrupt, my mother and Jianwen will also be implicated!" ”

"Don't worry, as long as you and your mother don't lend him any more money." Chen Mingyuan handed her a relieved smile and said, "Judging from the current situation, even if he wants to play big, he can't play it." ”

"What do you mean?"

"Don't leak it!"

Chen Mingyuan pretended to smile profoundly, causing Ye Qingxue to throw him a big look, "In short, don't worry, this matter won't be too dangerous, I can also assure you that your family will be safe, Ye Wanshun and his money will definitely be safe and stable, if you really lose it at that time, at most I will help compensate him." ”

Ye Qingxue's political sensitivity is not weak, hearing this, and then connecting with the current undercurrent within the provincial party committee, her chest jumped, and she suddenly guessed that Ning Lizhong was probably about to make a move!

"Wait a few more days, I'm sure everything will be clear soon."

Chen Mingyuan looked in the direction of Qiantang City, sighed leisurely, Ning Lizhong happily approved a few days of vacation for himself, presumably he also hoped that he would leave that stormy place for the time being, and when he went back, everything should be settled.

Along the way, the two chatted from time to time, and time flew by, and around sunset, the car arrived in the territory of Sioux City.

Ye Qingxue did not go to the city, but turned to the suburbs, with the passage of the road, the surrounding population is becoming more and more scarce, to the most lull back, all around is green shade grass and lakes and flowing water, catkins are flying, a beautiful scenery of the south of the Yangtze River, particularly poetic and picturesque.

Seeing Chen Mingyuan enjoying the surrounding scenery with great interest, Ye Qingxue explained: "Not far away, in front of the Mu family's old mansion, the house has a history of hundreds of years from the late Qing Dynasty, it is said that Jiayin's great-grandfather was the governor of Liangjiang at the end of the Qing Dynasty, after coming to Suzhou City to take office, he saw the beautiful mountains and rivers there, and he was there in the Daxing mansion. Jiayin's mother has always loved quietness, so a few years ago, she spent money to circle dozens of acres of land around it, repaired and expanded it several times, and the scale was quite good

Chen Mingyuan listened silently, thinking of his old house, why hasn't it experienced a similar trajectory, maybe for many older generations, the meaning of the old house cannot be replaced by anything new!

Speaking of this, Ye Qingxue remembered something, hesitated, and reminded: "You have seen most of the people in the Mu family, this time, Jiayin's second brother will also be present, you had better be mentally prepared first." ”

Mu Jiayin's second brother is naturally Mu Tianyu's father, Chen Mingyuan said curiously: "Could it be that the official authority of this Governor Mu is more prosperous than Ning Shuji." ”

Ye Qingxue seemed to be speechless and stopped: "That's not what I said, Jiayin's second brother is still quite kind, and his main thoughts are a little difficult to figure out, you are visiting on behalf of your family this time, it is best to be cautious in your words and deeds......"

Although she said it quite vaguely, Chen Mingyuan knew that she was reminding herself not to accidentally fall into the Tao of Mu Jiayin's second brother, so as not to teach the truth and suffer a loss in the cooperation between the two families in the future!

Although he has never been in contact with Mu Dingyin, as a 'person who has come over', Chen Mingyuan clearly knows that this banner man of the Mu family will be among the highest power centers of the Huaxia Kingdom in the future, and he has learned from different channels that Mu Dingyin's behavior is quite exquisite, and the relationship with the major factions has always been good.

Such a political tyrant, whether it is Tao Strategy or the city government, how can it be compared with ordinary magnates, I am afraid that Chen Guoliang is not half a star apart from others!

As if he was worried that his psychological burden would be too heavy, Ye Qingxue was relieved again: "But you are just a junior, and Governor Mu will not pay special attention to you." ”

Chen Mingyuan was not too nervous, but a little surprised.

It stands to reason that Ye Qingxue was single-handedly supported by the Mu family, and she should be in the same breath as the Mu family, but this time she specially revealed the internal information of the Mu family to herself, no matter how you look at it, it is a little intriguing, it seems that she is still on her side.

Ye Qingxue was a little weak by him, and she also realized that she was acting too deliberately, coughed clearly, and tried her best to hide the embarrassment, but she still held back a sentence in her heart, and endured it for a long time, after all, she was worried about the result of Chen Mingyuan's trip, and said softly: "However, I think you are the most cautious, or how to face Jiayin's mother......"

Chen Mingyuan was puzzled for a while.

Ye Qingxue refused to reveal more, but muttered something like nothing: "It's been a long time and you've become a sperm......"

Soon after the end of this paragraph, a manor with an area of several hundred square meters appeared in front of it, in the eyes of outsiders, this is the sanatorium of a certain unit, but when you see the 'Mu Family Garden' engraved on the plaque, you can understand that this is where the Mu family is.

Mujiayuan adopts the design method of "three paths and four courtyards" of the classical Soviet-style garden, covering an area of thousands of square meters, with pavilions and pavilions, but the five-meter-high fence around it, and the trees next to the wall will be planted with lush foliage, completely blocking the view of the outside world.

The car arrived at the door of the manor, Ye Qingxue didn't knock on the door, and waited for about a minute or two, and the half-fan-shaped copper door slowly opened, revealing the shocking beauty of Mujiayuan.

Ye Qingxue obviously didn't come for the first time, and after driving the car in, she parked in an open space under a green bamboo.

Chen Mingyuan was about to open the door and get out of the car, suddenly a shadow shrouded him, looked up, couldn't help but be stunned, I don't know when, a sturdy man stood quietly next to him, like a giant tower, with a cold face and cold eyes, even if the blue sky and the white sun are falling, it makes people shudder.

"Guardian Rong, long time no see."

Ye Qingxue opened the door and got out of the car and said hello familiarly.

Rong Weishi had a calm face, nodded lightly, and said lightly: "The three little sisters are all waiting in the lobby, please come with me." ”

"I'm sorry for you."

Ye Qingxue thanked him, saw Guard Rong walking forward by himself, glanced at Chen Mingyuan, and explained in a low voice while following behind: "This is the captain of the guard of Mujiayuan, who has been on an errand in the Yanjing Military Region and the Central Central Security Bureau, and has also participated in the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam, and has made brilliant achievements, but he took the initiative to resign from the title of the Security Bureau five years ago and came to take care of the Mu family's home and nursing home. ”

Chen Mingyuan couldn't help but look at the bear's back in surprise, Ye Qingxue still wanted to chew the root of her tongue again, but she was afraid of the extraordinary ear power of this Rong Guard, so she took it back.

Under the guidance of Rong Wei, the three of them shuttled through the winding manor, the pavilions and pavilions in the park, the mountain stone pool, the flowing water, the green bamboo, the environment is extremely elegant.

Walking here, listening to the birdsong in the treetops, facing the warm evening breeze, Chen Mingyuan's heart couldn't help but shake.

Before he had time to savor this beautiful scenery, there was a sudden cry of surprise from the pavilion in front of him, and the next moment, Mu Tianyu, who had not been masked for a long time, pounced on him, gave Chen Mingyuan a bear hug, and grinned: "Looking forward to the stars and the moon, I finally gave you a look, how about it, do you always think about me?" ”

Chen Mingyuan smiled bitterly, to be honest, since there was less Mu Tianyu tire noise in his life, his ears were really quiet.

Mu Tianyu felt quite good about himself, and put his arm on his shoulders and said: "Don't worry, after Young Master Ben's unremitting resistance and efforts, my family has pardoned my grounding, as long as my grandmother's birthday banquet is over, I will be able to excuse myself, and I really think about the brothers in Qiantang." ”

"Before the eight characters were skimmed, people went crazy again, and when the time came, grandma saw it, and one was unhappy to extend your grounding, and I won't help you say good things anymore."

A melodious and clear voice came, under the eaves, Mu Jiayin's figure walked out one by one, the emerald light gauze long skirt, green silk hair holding a high bun, like clear water out of hibiscus, natural carving, with her beautiful jade face, long and slender beautiful posture, and gently rippling skirt with the wind, indescribably graceful and feminine, elegant like a fairy.

As soon as he saw this aunt, Mu Tianyu quickly restrained herself, and said with a sneer: "It's not like I haven't seen the old brother for too long, and I can't help myself......

Mu Jiayin ignored him, turned her head to look at Chen Mingyuan and the others, and said with a smile: "It's been hard all the way, let's sit inside for a while." Then he turned and went into the lobby.

Immediately, Chen Mingyuan and Ye Qingxue entered the lobby, but they didn't see the old lady of the Mu family, but Mu Lunyin and Hou Nanshu, who met in Yanjing last time, were sitting at the front, and Mu Tianfeng, who was dressed in military uniform, was standing next to his parents.

"There are more affairs to handle the banquet, and you can't go out to greet you in person, so don't be surprised."

Mu Lunyin still has that friendly attitude, and her conversation and etiquette are not leaky, "My mother happened to be resting inside, I'm afraid she won't wake up for a while and a half, you guys are running all the way, and you are probably tired, so it's better to go to the guest room to wash and rest for a while, and when the meal will be served, I will let someone invite you to come." ”

"Thank you, Director Mu."

Chen Mingyuan was polite and gave Hou Nanshu another salute, compared to the last time he was unkind, this time Hou Nanshu returned the salute with a smile.

"Uncle, I'll lead Mingyuan and Sister Ye over."

Mu Tianyu took the errand diligently and beckoned the two of them to go out, but not far after they walked out, Mu Jiayin followed, and said crisply: "Chen Mingyuan, you wait." ”

Mu Tianyu and Ye Qingxue knew that the two of them had something to say, so they left first.

Mu Jiayin walked up to Chen Mingyuan, put her hands behind her back, and said with a smile: "I thought you wouldn't dare to come."

"How so?" Chen Mingyuan joked: "Anyone's face can not be sold, at the invitation of Sister Mu, I still have to run with oil on the soles of my feet." ”

"I don't know if the soles of your feet have been greased, but this mouth must have been smeared!"

Mu Jiayin glared at Xingyan and pointed to his mouth, and then pursed his lips and smiled, his smile was touching, and he raised his face and said, "But the words are quite good, my ears are comfortable to hear." ”

Chen Mingyuan smiled, "How are you doing in the past six months?" ”

"I'm just asking now, will it be too late?"

Mu Jiayin's face changed as soon as she said it, and she snorted coldly: "What did you do before!" I have to wait for the meeting to be polite! ”

Mu Jiayin looked at him fixedly for a long time, and after half a sound, he suddenly lowered his head slightly, and said softly: "I just want to ask you, what if...... I mean, if, if there is no political thing to think of coming to me...... Won't you call me? ”

Chen Mingyuan was speechless again, although his voice was very soft, it was exceptionally clear in the quiet manor.

After waiting for a long time to respond, Mu Jiayin smiled, with disappointment in her tone: "Hmm...... Okay, you don't have to say it, I get it. ’

"Wait!"

Chen Mingyuan gritted his teeth and said in a heartless manner: "I don't want to lie to you, I, I've thought about calling you, and I've thought about it more than once." But......" he smiled bitterly and said embarrassedly, "However, I always feel that it will be a little abrupt, and I don't know what to say." ’

Mu Jiayin was stunned, her eyes flashed, but she smiled and said angrily: "Idiot! ”

The gloom just now seemed to be swept away in her coquettish voice, and she turned and walked forward, walking much more cheerfully, taking two steps, and whispering, "As long as you think about it, I am very happy." ”
