CHAPTER XXIII
The hall of the Shen family was solemn and quiet, and the old man of the Shen family, Shen Hong, accompanied him with a smiling face to talk to a man in military uniform sitting on the side, and behind the man stood a delicate and timid girl, who was extraordinarily beautiful, and looked closely, it was really a response to the words of the Qing Dynasty:
The two bends seem to be frowning and not frowning, and a pair of eyes that seem to be happy but not happy. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info is sad about two souls, a delicate illness, tears are dotted, and the delicate pant is slight. When it is quiet, it is like a delicate flower shining on the water, and the action is like a weak willow supporting the wind. ”
At that time, as soon as Cao Gong's "Dream of Red Mansions" came out, this kind of beauty was even more popular throughout the capital, but it was a pity that at that time, Manchu women grew up on horseback, and they couldn't do it at all. So there was the appearance of Yangzhou thin horses, and the delicate women of the Han family were more favored by men.
But no matter what kind of nobody, no one can only look like him, and he can't compare with the person in Cao Gong's pen, and now the woman standing behind the man really has the beauty of the rumors, which is rare in a hundred lifetimes.
Shen Hong looked at this girl with a smile, and the more he looked at it, the more he liked it. While looking at it, he also looked out of the door from time to time, anxious why his son hadn't come yet.
He whispered to the butler beside him:
"Go to the door and see why the young master hasn't come yet."
The housekeeper nodded and turned to go out, and Shen Hong smiled and said to the man in military uniform:
"General Mo, don't be impatient, the dog will be there soon, just here."
As he spoke, he picked up a piece of tea on the desk and handed it to the man:
"You drink tea, drink tea."
The man took the teacup with a cold face and took a sip slightly:
"Master Shen, this batch of goods is very important, you have to be careful."
"Yes, yes, yes."
Shen Hong nodded as diligently as a chicken pecking rice.
"Dad, what's the matter with me?"
While the two were talking, Shen Shuren took his robe and walked in with strides accompanied by the housekeeper.
The boy is in the prime of life, and the charming charm exudes all over his body. The calm and seductive voice, every place, every movement deeply attracted the eyes of Mo Chuchun, who was standing behind General Mo Shenwei Mo.
The girl Huaichun quietly blushed, holding a handkerchief to cover her shyness, and a series of actions made Mo Chuchun even more moving.
Shen Hong was even more happy when he saw the arrival of his son, and got up and pulled him to General Mo, who also got up opposite, and introduced:
"General Mo, this is the dog Shen Shuren. Forgive me, this is General Mo. ”
Shen Shuren respectfully bowed slightly towards Mo Shen:
"General Mo is good."
Mo Shenwei stood and looked at Shen Shuren with his eyes, his eyes were stern, and Shen Shuren was covered in hair, and soon opened his mouth and said with a smile:
"Shen Gongzi is really handsome, a talent."
Shen Shuren lowered his head and bent his eyebrows and smiled:
"General Mo is really ridiculous."
General Mo smiled and pulled Mo Chuchun behind him:
"Young Master Shen, this is the early spring of the daughter."
Shen Shuren bowed his head and greeted Mo Chuchun, and Mo Chuchun responded with a half-salute. After seeing that the children of the two families knew each other, Master Shen came out with a smile and played haha:
"That's all knowing, come on, let's sit down and talk."
The people came up with chairs, and the four of them sat down one after another, and the tea was hot and slow, and the fragrance was full of fragrance for a while.
General Mo fumbled with the tea bowl, looked at Shen Shuren and asked:
"The old man heard that Young Master Shen is a person who has gone abroad and stayed abroad, and this person who has seen different worlds is naturally more open-minded."
Shen Shuren cracked the corners of his mouth and took a sip of tea slightly:
"General Mo exaggerated, and when I went out, I realized that everything outside is so good, and it is not as sweet as a bowl of water at home.
"Oh."
General Mo nodded slightly, took the hand of Mo Chuchun, who was sitting beside him, and said with a bit of helplessness and pampering:
"This daughter, I've been spoiled by me since she was a child, and she never likes to read any female rings or anything, she likes to study some miscellaneous books, and the woman has never done what she does."
When Shen Shuren heard this, he replied with a smile:
"Although I advocate Chinese studies, there are some things that I disagree with. Just like this female precept, it seems to be better, but in fact it is an injustice to women, and such a clear precept is simply a violation of women's physical and mental health. ”
When General Mo heard these words, his eyes lit up, and his words were meaningful:
"It seems that it's really old, old, and can't keep up with the times, so it's better for young people to talk to young people."
"yes, yes."
Master Shen also hurriedly accosted:
"This stinky boy has been choking me at home every day since he came back from studying abroad. Say I'm old-thinking, old-feudal. ”
"Haha!"
General Mo laughed heartily twice:
"Times have changed, and we are old."
After saying this, he turned to Shen Shuren and said:
"Shen Gongzi, the old man came here to negotiate a deal with your father, but just now the little girl was so inconvenient here, and the parents didn't dare to let her walk around, now that you are here, can you take the little girl around for sightseeing?"
Shen Shuren was still thinking about the little kraken Yao Tianxue in his yard, and he was a little embarrassed at the moment, but before he could refuse, Master Shen had already quickly responded:
"Yes, yes."
Shen Shuren looked at Master Shen in surprise, a little surprised that he would make such a decision, he didn't believe that his father didn't hear the potential meaning of General Mo.
"Daddy......"
Shen Shuren whispered to pull Master Shen underneath, but was stopped by Master Shen, who glared at Shen Shuren with his eyes.
General Mo is a person who has experienced a hundred battles on the battlefield, how could he not see the interaction between the father and son, General Mo sat and waited as steady as Mount Tai, and opened his mouth without moving:
"What's the matter, is Shen Gongzi very busy, or is he unwilling?"
Mo Chuchun's ten fingers under the table were tightly twisted together, and he looked at Shen Shuren with an uneasy expression, the man she liked at a glance.
"The dog is naughty, the joke just said, don't mind the general. If you can lead the lady to watch, what's the trouble? ”
General Mo turned his gaze to Shen Shuren again:
"What do you think, Shen Gongzi?"
Shen Shuren received the warning from his father, and in desperation, he opened his mouth a little reluctantly:
"Yes, please come with me Miss Mo."
Master Shen smiled when he heard this, and hurriedly got up to make way:
"Go, go."
Shen Shuren reluctantly took Mo Chuchun and disappeared outside the house. Master Shen just began to discuss the matter of freight with General Mo.
General Mo looked at the tea leaves fluttering on the tea bowl on the table:
"In the entire Hong Kong Island, only your Shen family's freight is strong enough, so this batch of arms is very important, can Master Shen be sure?"
