The Nanhai faction's residence is quite majestic, with a series of main buildings scattered and undulating, and many separate courtyards looming under banyan trees and coconut groves. It's not too far from the sea, and you can faintly hear the sound of the waves. According to Li Mo, the Nanhai faction is very low-key, although they have their own wharves and their own large bays, but their wealth is not out of the South China Sea state capitals.

Since it was an official visit, Nangong Jin needed to know something about the Nanhai faction.

For example, the wealthy families in the surrounding state capitals of the South China Sea have a tradition of sending their children to the South China Sea to study art, so this makes the South China Sea faction one of the major factions in the south, and it may also be the fundamental reason why the South China Sea can have such a scale.

In addition, the Nanhai faction has been steadily developing its own inherent territory, and to put it mildly, it is to stick to a domain, and this characteristic is even more prominent here in the head of this year, Xu Baoshen, because he is rich.

Also, although the Nanhai faction is not a family-based sect, the position of head has always been passed down in the hands of the three surnames Zhang, Han, and Ying. If it weren't for Xu Baoshen's involvement, the South China Sea faction Han would be extinct. Of course, Xu Baoshen also became the head of the Nanhai faction.

They have a lot of business categories, after all, one sect almost includes the wealthy families of several state capitals, and they can do everything. However, because it is located on the coast, it is deeply disturbed by the Japanese pirates, but in recent years, I don't know whether it is because the government has cracked down strongly, or whether the Nanhai faction has become more and more powerful, and gradually has the strength to resist the small group of Japanese pirates, which is similar to the situation of the Nangong clan on the northern border.

The Nanhai style parlor is small and exquisite, which is very different from the style of Binh Duong.

"So, the virtuous nephew is here to see if Nanhai and Xiang Kee can cooperate in shipping?" Xu Baoshen smiled, very meaningful.

"Yes. The little nephew also knows that the South China Sea is very wide, but Xiang Kee is mainly engaged in north-south transportation affairs, and should be able to reach cooperation with the South China Sea. Nangong Jin replied respectfully.

"Transportation? As far as I know, there are three ships in Xiang Kee? Going to the ocean? Xu Baoshen asked again.

Nangong Jin nodded, "Indeed, there is currently an empty ship that is ready to sail in two months." ”

"However, the last thing we lack in the South China Sea is ships."

When Han Cuiping brought Yao Fangyu in, Xu Baoshen and Nangong Jin were still chatting aimlessly.

"Ma'am." When Xu Baoshen saw Han Cuiping, he immediately got up with a smile on his face and greeted him.

Han Cuiping didn't look at him, and smiled at Nangong Jin: "It's rare for Nangong Xian's nephew to come to the South China Sea, and he is still being pulled to talk about business, which is too boring. Business is inexhaustible, and if you don't have a good walk in the South China Sea, then it's not ours. ”

"Ma'am." Nangong Jin stood up with Xu Baoshen and saluted Han Cuiping.

Han Cuiping smiled and waved her hand, "Where did you come from so many false courtesies, we haven't known your father for a day or two, how is he now?" ”

"My father is all right." Nangong Jin replied.

"That's good." Han Cuiping pulled Yao Fangyu over and continued, "I found you a guide." Authentic Nanhai people, she knows what to eat and fun. ”

Yao Fangyu generously saluted Nangong Jin, "Second son, long time no see." ”

"It's really troublesome to ask Miss Yao to be the guide." Nangong Jin returned the salute.

"You're welcome."

Seeing that the two of them were so restrained, Han Cuiping walked to Xu Baoshen's side with a smile, "Okay, while the sky is still bright, you can go out." Don't rush back, it's good to have dinner and talk more. ”

"Yes, Master." Yao Fangyu nodded to Nangong Jin again.

Nangong Jin said embarrassedly to Han Cuiping and his wife: "That little nephew will retire first." ”

**********

As soon as he left the division, Yao Fangyu took Nangong Jin to the beach. At this time, the sun is gradually setting in the west, the sea breeze is caressing, and children can occasionally be seen catching the sea on the beach.

"Why are you here?" I didn't speak all the way, and when I got to the beach, Yao Fangyu said as she walked.

"If I say that I am going to Quanzhou to do some business, and I will come over casually to see if I can do some business with your master, do you believe it or not?" Nangong Jin asked with a smile.

"It doesn't matter." Yao Fangyu really smiled indifferently.

Nangong Jin felt that she didn't seem to be in a good mood, and said with a smile: "Actually, I came to you on purpose." ”

Yao Fangyu turned around and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Nangong Jin was not embarrassed, lowered his head and said, "I haven't been at home before, and there are some things that the family hasn't ......discussed with me," glanced at Yao Fangyu, and saw that Yao Fangyu was still looking at him, so he looked away and continued, "Well, that's the case, I want to ask, um, do you agree with our business?" I don't want to force you, in my heart, you ......, um, if, you don't agree, I, um, I'll say ...... with home. ”

After listening to Nangong Jin's squeaky explanation, Yao Fangyu smiled and asked, "You want to ask my opinion?" ”

Nangong Jin nodded and looked at her expectantly. Yao Fangyu didn't answer, just continued to walk forward.

"I was born here, I have a father, a mother and a sister, it's very ordinary. The Yao family is not a big or rich family, if I have such a family background, I will not be able to enter the Nanhai faction. Yao Fangyu stopped and looked at the sea, "You may not know that the South China Sea Sect has been the dream of our children here since childhood. But I, a girl from an ordinary family, entered the Nanhai faction before I was old enough to apprentice. I kept thinking that if it weren't for my dad, I wouldn't be like this in my life at all. should be like all the daughters of ordinary families in the South China Sea, grow up quietly and start a family peacefully. However, the man who changed my life, I have never seen it. ”

Yao Fangyu was blown by the sea breeze, and after a long time, she said softly: "I don't know, is it so good, or is it better for the family to live an ordinary life?" ”

"It's okay now, you can't go two ways at the same time." Nangong Jin picked it up, thought for a while and said, "I want to know, how do you plan to go in the future?" ”

"What do you think?" Yao Fangyu asked rhetorically.

Nangong Jin smiled, "If you decide that we will go together in the future, then this matter will be done like this, of course, as long as you want, we can also discuss what to do." If you think, well, it's better that we're just friends, I'm not against that. I、I hope you'll come to me if you're in trouble, but for now, I'll be, I'll leave, I'm at home, well, I'll deal with it. Nangong Jin felt that the more she talked, the more difficult it became.

Yao Fangyu still looked at the sea, as if she didn't hear the emotion in his words, "When my father passed away, I was three years old, and he never came back. I remember that one day my sister and I were left in the house, and it was she who helped me get dressed, carried my hand, and sat together in front of the house, from morning to night, for several days. ......" sighed slightly, and said after a long time: "I don't know, why did you suddenly come to me and ask me to give me this choice?" Shouldn't it be the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker? Don't you know that many people have never even met each other before they got married? We, we even know each other. ”

Nangong Jin was embarrassed, "I'm sorry, I, I just want you to be happy." ”

"I guess I've always been happy. Although I don't have a father and mother, Master and Master are very good to our sisters, and even my sister is buried in the Nanhai Sect. A small garden, the master has always sent someone to take care of it very beautifully, as long as I can go to see her every day. I must be happy, because of the Nanhai faction, I can marry your Pingyang Nangong clan, and I know that your family will never be able to find a woman from a small family to enter the door. What's reason for me to be unhappy? Yao Fangyu said happily, but there was only sadness on her face.

Nangong Jin looked at her, a little lost in her heart, and smiled: "I know that your master and mother are very good to you, well, Pingyang is indeed a ......little farther away." ”

Yao Fangyu smiled bitterly, "I know that I ......, if a woman doesn't have a good reputation, she will have nothing." Turning his head to look at Nangong Jin, "Before, I came to Jingzhou to ask you for help because I hadn't been back to the South China Sea for a year and a half at that time. You must also know that Shi Niang gave me the identity of the Great Disciple of the South China Sea and the Master of the Lingxiao Pavilion, but it was just that I would not return to the South China Sea. But I don't want these titles at all, I want to come back, because everything I have is here, here is my sister. ”

Nangong Jin lowered her head and avoided her gaze. Is this a rejection? Or something else? Ask softly, "Do you need my help?" ”

Yao Fangyu thought for a long time, and finally smiled, "I don't know." ”
