"Well, you're in trouble. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info" Xu Lang said secretly in his heart, "This is not the May Fourth period, let alone any new youth with emancipated minds. ”

"Gao Chen." Cheng Yiyi asked, "If you really don't want to, haven't you told your parents?" ”

"Sister Yiyi, I haven't been home for almost a year." Gao Chen said depressedly, "As soon as I go home, my family will force me to get married." ”

Everyone was a little speechless for a while, this situation was neither good to persuade Gao Chen to get married, nor to let him withdraw from the marriage.

"I'm sorry, sir, everybody." Gao Chen raised his glass again, "I've disappointed everyone, let's not talk about me, celebrate Chief Ye's homecoming." ”

It was already the middle of the night after sending away Ye Zhan and Gao Chen, Zhao Zhiruo finished cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks and returned to the bedroom, Xu Lang and Cheng Yiyi did not sleep.

"Zhiruo." Xu Lang asked, "What will be the consequences if Gao Chen must withdraw from the marriage?" ”

"It depends." Zhao Zhiruo thought for a while, "If there is something wrong or something bad on that girl's side, then Gao Chen's divorce is nothing." But if the other side is innocent and nothing happens, then Gao Chen will generally not be able to get married. If you insist on retiring from the marriage, once you sue the government, the government will ask about it. ”

"The government still cares about this?" Xu Lang smiled bitterly, "The government has enough management." ”

"Isn't Gao Chen in Yulin Bay now?" Cheng Yiyi said, "Can't you let Shi Xianyang adjudicate?" ”

"But don't bother with that." Xu Lang said with a smile, "The girl's family is in Yazhou, and we can't control people in Yulin Bay." Even if he can manage it, he can't do this, if Shi Xianyang really sentenced Gao Chen to withdraw from the marriage for no reason, his court would have to be smashed. ”

"Xu Lang, Sister Yiyi, what will you do if there is such a situation in your homeland?" Zhao Zhiruo asked.

"Zhiruo." Xu Lang took out a cigarette and lit it, "In our homeland, there is no such thing as the order of parents and the words of matchmakers." Any marriage must be between two people, and if one party does not agree, you cannot be engaged or married. Even if you are really engaged, if one party regrets it, although it is not suitable, it will actually be withdrawn, after all, the twisted melon is not sweet. It's a tragedy to tie two people together who have no feelings. ”

"Heh, it's better to say than to sing." Cheng Yiyi sneered, "There is no emotion and another life, do you dare to say that you have feelings for me and Zhiruo, how deep are your feelings?" ”

"You want to know how deep my feelings are for you, it's easy, you'll know right away." Xu Lang walked over with a wicked smile and hugged Cheng Yiyi, reaching out to untie her clothes.

"Get out of the way." Cheng Yiyi slapped Xu Lang's hand open, "I can't hold it back, there is Zhiruo, my body hasn't recovered yet." ”

"Ugh." Xu Lang pretended to be disappointed and walked to the chair to the side and sat down again.

Zhao Zhiruo looked at the frolicking of the two and suddenly pursed her lips and laughed.

"Zhiruo, what are you laughing at?" Xu Lang and Cheng Yiyi asked at the same time.

Zhao Zhiruo's face flushed slightly: "I secretly asked Bihe today if Ye Zhan would be good to her after he came back." ”

"What did Bihe say?" Xu Lang asked anxiously.

"What are you anxious about, what's your business?" Cheng Yiyi scolded with a smile, "You go out first, and I will talk to Zhiruo in a whisper." ”

"Why is this none of my business?" Xu Lang tilted his head and smiled, "If they really have children, I will be 。。。。。。 ”

Xu Lang suddenly stopped halfway through his words: "I should be, should I be a grandfather or an uncle?" ”

"Hehehehe." Cheng Yiyi and Zhao Zhiruo laughed at the same time, "You can do whatever you want, uncle and grandfather, uncle and grandfather can do it." ”

"What the hell did Biho say?" Xu Lang couldn't help but ask again.

"Bihe said that Ye Zhan came back two or three times a day in the past few days, saying that he wanted to let Mrs. Ye hold a grandson as soon as possible."

"This kid." Xu Lang smiled, "The ability is quite strong." ”

"I know I can't do it." Cheng Yiyi said with a smile, "It's not good to be old, it's not okay to be old." ”

"Am I really old?" Xu Lang threw down the cigarette, walked to Cheng Yiyi's side, pressed her on the bed and began to tear her clothes, "I'll let you try whether I'm old or not." ”

"Zhiruo, come and save me." Cheng Yiyi shouted, and her two arms wrapped around Xu Lang's waist.

Two days later, the plan to reinforce Singapore was approved by the Military Council. Xu Lang led four warships of the First Fleet to carry Ye Zhan's Fourth Infantry Regiment to Priango, where he joined Li Fuqiang before heading to Singapore. Because of the need to take into account the problem of garrisoning troops in Hainan after the collection of taxes, the 4th Infantry Regiment went only half of the men, and the insufficient ones had to be replenished from Vietnam. The Military Council's directive was, if possible, to drive the Westerners out of Malacca and take full control of Malacca. If it is not possible, stick to Singapore and wait for news from Taiwan and home.

Xu Lang began to prepare for going to Singapore, and Xia Yang and Lu Tianxiang came to Qiongzhou Mansion by land under the escort of a platoon of cavalry to formally negotiate with Wang Kezong on the issue of collecting industrial and commercial taxes.

The director of the Qiongzhou office is now Tao Shouqing, Tao Shouqing has not changed places for so many years since he came to Qiongzhou Mansion a few years ago, and now he even has his home in Qiongzhou Mansion.

After everyone finished the reception banquet, the rest of the people went home, and Tao Shouqing placed Lu Tianxiang and Xia Yang in the sugar factory to stay, because this is the safest place.

In the sugar factory's office, three people sat with each teacup.

"Lao Tao, is there anything new here?" Xia Yang asked.

"Nothing big has changed." Tao Shouqing replied, "The imperial court's will on tax collection has been coming for more than half a month, but Wang Kezong's side has not made any moves. I asked Chen Mincheng, but he didn't explain it to me. ”

"They are still figuring out Chongzhen's true intentions, and they dare not act rashly." Lu Tianxiang said with a smile, "Do these merchants in Qiongzhou Mansion have any reaction?" ”

"I asked He Wenhuan to spread the news, and the resistance of the merchants is still quite large, which is probably the reason why Wang Kezong has not acted for a long time."

"Can you arrange it first, let's meet with Chen Mincheng first?" Xia Yang asked.

"That's fine, I can arrange it at any time." Tao Shouqing replied and said, "Macau has changed a little in the past two days, and I haven't had time to report it to my family." ”

"What's wrong with Macau?"

"It's not a big deal." Tao Shouqing straightened out his thoughts, "It's that Portuguese businessman Mourinho who has been more diligent recently, and what he said means is that he wants us to increase the amount given to him." ”
