Chapter 114: The Family and the Country are the World
"The sunset is red, the autumn is strong, the breeze sends words to the cold pine, I don't know how many times we meet. On the mountain, in the bluestone, proudly looking at the wind and clouds, smiling at the wind and clouds. Shen Ruoyu read it softly again, pondered for a long time, and sighed: "Young Master Su is really talented!" When I made this painting, I didn't have such a majestic momentum in my heart, but it was Su Gongzi's words that gave this painting lofty aspirations, which can be described as the finishing touch......"
"Miss Shen is too modest,......" Su Lian said with a smile: "When I first saw this painting, I felt a majestic and magnificent aura rushing to my face, and my heart was churning, so I had this poem." It should be said that it was Miss Shen who gave me the inspiration to ......" Shen Ruoyu pursed her lips and smiled, and said: "Su Gongzi said so many good words, are you really worried that I will hate your ridiculous words last time?" ”
"Uh, this...... Of course not, there is no ......" was poked by her, Su Lian was embarrassed again, and said with a dry smile.
"I'm just borrowing the topic to play, I just want to ask Su Gongzi to write an inscription for me, I hope Su Gongzi doesn't really think that I am a woman with a small belly and chicken intestines...... " Shen Ruoyu said with her head bowed.
"Of course ......not" Su Lian shook his head and smiled: "Miss Shen's temperament is graceful and luxurious, which makes people dare not look directly, and no one will think of Miss Shen in the worst way......"
"Really?" Shen Ruoyu asked with a smile, seeing Su Lian nodding, he said again: "Then I'll be cheeky again, and ask Su Gongzi to sign my painting, how about it?" Su Lian was stunned again, and then relieved.
Shen Ruoyu should have wanted to collect this painting, and he was no longer polite, so he added it after the Sauvignon Blanc
The words "Su Lian Question". Shen Ruoyu looked at it, nodded with satisfaction, took a white jade seal from the table, sighed, and covered it after Su Lian's inscription.
Bright red seal, square round characters, Shen Ruoyu's three characters looming, a painting of green mountains and pines and cypresses jointly completed by Shen Ruoyu and Su Lian, even if it is successfully completed.
The three of them sat down at the table again, and while drinking, Su Lian asked about the purpose of Shen Renxi's visit to Jinling. Shen Renxi sighed and said, "Brother Su, I believe that even if I don't say it, you can guess it?" ”
"The birthday banquet of the left prime minister of Jiangsu and Zhejiang also pity the real class?" Su Lian asked in surprise, seeing Shen Renxi nodding silently, he couldn't help but say again: "Brother Shen is far away in Jiangnan, and he actually wants to come to attend Prime Minister Zuo's birthday banquet in person?" ”
"If it was in previous years, I wouldn't have had to come here in person, but this year's situation is indeed a bit special......," Shen Renxi said with a frown.
"Oh? Brother Shen seems to be full of troubles, I don't know what to do? Su Lian asked.
"Actually, to put it bluntly, it's just a money word......" Shen Renxi sighed: "The imperial court has started the change of the banknote law, which is called breaking the old and bringing out the new, relieving the tension of the treasury, but in fact, the treasury is empty, and printing silver banknotes in the name of changing the banknote law to fill the treasury......" Su Lian shook his head and said: "I am not an expert in this matter, but I also understand that if you print new banknotes, if you are not careful, it will cause prices to soar, public resentment will arise, and business will decline......" After a pause, he said: "This matter is related to people's livelihood, Brother Shen's trip should not be just for his family, right?" Shen Renxi smiled helplessly and said, "Talking to Brother Su is transparent." Yes, I am here on behalf of the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce. The business of the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce is all over the country, and once the new banknote law is implemented, not only Jiangnan, but also the Central Plains, Guanzhong, and the north will all be affected. I'm here to have a face-to-face interview with the Yilian Zhenban, after all, he was also a member of the Central Committee before, so he might be able to speak in Zhongshu Province......" Su Lian shook his head and said: "Brother Shen actually knows in his heart, since this matter was started by Zhongshu Province, I'm afraid that Yuanshui won't be able to save the fire." If you talk to him, I'm afraid it's a drop in the bucket, and it won't help......"
"Although it is a helpless move, it is not useless...... Shen Renxi said with a wry smile: "At least you can convey the people's intentions to the imperial court through him, and it is best to delay the process so that we businessmen can also make preparations...... Su Lian sighed and said: "Brother Shen may be able to earn a breather for himself, but for more Li people, there is no respite......
"Brother Su still has the world in mind, worries about the country and the people, admirable......" Shen Renxi shook his head and said: "It's a pity that I and other third-rate businessmen have small profits all day long, mundane affairs, and are overwhelmed, and they are always not as frank and happy as Brother Su, free and chic......" Su Lian laughed and said, "Brother Shen said that he was laughing." The so-called everyone has something on their minds, and it is difficult for every family to recite scriptures. The laity and the world, all kinds of changes. Brother Shen is worried about the family's affairs, why don't we worry about eating a full meal? The court changed the law, did not ask about public opinion, and came easily, and one day the people would be stripped of their food and clothing. I'm just looking at the future from the point to the face. If I don't do something, someone else will do it. Maybe one day in the future, Brother Shen will be like me, for the world, for the people, for the people, and for ambition......" To Shen Renxi, Su Lian doesn't have to beat around the bush, he always speaks very thoroughly, he believes that Shen Renxi can understand and understand the meaning of his words.
These words were not impassioned, but they also made Shen Renxi's eyes shine.
"Haha......" Shen Renxi laughed loudly and said: "Listening to Brother Su's words, it always makes people feel heart-wrenching and happy. I am not far from Brother Su in age, but this mind and courage are far from you. But the strange thing is that I think drinking and chatting with Brother Su is even a deed, and it is rare, haha......" At this time, Shen Ruoyu covered her mouth and snickered, and said: "Second brother and Su Gongzi are both ambitious people, but the place where this mind is used is different." Su Gongzi, what do you say? ”
"Miss Shen is right!" Su Lian took a sip and said loudly: "Dare to say that I am for the country and the world, and Brother Shen is for the family, in the final analysis, the road I and Brother Shen have taken is actually the same path......" Shen Renxi was stunned, couldn't help but slap the table, stood up and laughed and said: "Okay! is a good country and the world, and the family is the world, and they have the same end, just by virtue of this sentence, I, Shen Renxi, did not make a friend of Brother Su in vain. Come, Brother Su, let's have a drink! ”
"Good!" Su Lian also stood up, picked up the wine glass and said: "Speaking of which, I have been taken care of by Brother Shen along the way, and I have not thanked Brother Shen properly, so I will borrow Brother Shen's glass of wine today to solemnly thank Brother Shen!" Brother Shen, please! "Drink it all.
Shen Renxi also raised his head and drank, and said, "Brother Su is polite. I treat you as a friend, so it's natural to give you some care along the way. For my Shen family, this little thing is not worth mentioning......" and then said: "However, if Brother Su wants to do something big, I am afraid that I will not be able to reach out to help." If you have time in the future, please Brother Su may wish to go to Jiangnan and make a trip, I will introduce you to my old man......" The hint of these words is not obvious, Su Lian was surprised in his heart, but at this moment, he just raised his glass calmly, and smiled at Shen Renxi: "Okay, if I go to Jiangnan, I will definitely know Brother Shen!" Shen Renxi smiled slightly, raised his glass and dried the wine.
A few people then chatted about what they saw on the road, interesting stories about the rivers and lakes, etc. Speaking of tomorrow's birthday banquet, Shen Renxi was happy when he learned that Su Lian would also attend, and drank a few more glasses.
This meal of wine was drunk from dusk until the night was hazy, and the lights were on. At the wine table, Shen Ruoyu didn't say much, and occasionally poured wine for the two.
However, as soon as she interjected, she could always guide Su Lian and Shen Renxi's thoughts in one place just right, making the two feel even more sympathetic to each other.
Shen Ruoyu is clear-minded, knows people and knows her heart, and is paving the way for her future trip to Jiangnan.
It seems that a trip to Jiangnan is imperative, Su Lian thought secretly in his heart. The next day, Su Lian got up early to clean up and explain to Yan Han and Ma Xiuying to take care of Yan Shuang, and only took Cheng Mo to the birthday banquet.
Ma Xiuying was also clamoring to go, but Su Lian told her that there were Tartar officials all over the place, and she couldn't move around at will when she sat down, and she didn't come out until the end of the noon banquet, so Ma Xiuying shook her head and didn't go.
When I came out of the inn, a mahogany carriage was already waiting at the door. curtains on one
The word "Luo" made Su Lian feel warm and cordial in his heart. He stepped forward with a slight smile and found that it was Luo Yan sitting on the frame, and hurriedly smiled: "Chunli, why are you in the car?" That's not true! You go in and let Cheng Mo catch the car......"
"Master Su, the slave's name is Luo Yan, why can't you always remember it?" Luo Yan pouted, his face full of resentment.
"Well, I remember! Don't worry, Chun-Li! Su Lian said loudly. Luo Yan rolled his eyes, in the car
"Poof" laughed, Luo Qianyin said inside: "Luo Yan, come in, let them both catch the car outside......"
"Yes, Miss!" Luo Yan smiled and agreed, then opened the curtain and went in. Su Lian touched his nose, asked Cheng Mo to catch the car, and said: "Cheng Mo, look at it, being a man is like this, if you want to carry forward your demeanor, you have to suffer some grievances...... "The anger of grievance is self-evident.
"Brother Lian, you want to catch the car yourself, but it's not that people want to wronged you......" Luo Qianyin laughed inside.
"Well, that's right! It's me who is self-inflicted, self-inflicted! It's okay, I'm not wronged! Su Lian said seriously.
"Giggle......" Luo Qianyin couldn't stop laughing, and finally couldn't bear it, and said: "Okay, I won't wronged you, you can come in......" Su Lian laughed, opened the curtain and went in.
Luo Qianyin didn't dress up, she was still plain and facing the sky, but she just changed into a corn yellow silk skirt, which still couldn't hide her elegant and elegant temperament, as simple as a fairy.
"Luo Yan, you go to the door a little bit and show Cheng Mo the way. He doesn't know how to go, don't take us all to sell, giggle......" Luo Qianyin was in a good mood and said funny.
"Oh......" Luo Yan reluctantly moved to the door, and a large space immediately became vacant next to Luo Qianyin.
Su Lian was not polite, and sat down swaggeringly.
