Chapter 4002: The listener has no intention of revealing the inside story
Chen Mu never expected that in the cruise ship that was as stable as a castle, he would be seasick!
After all, he had been in all kinds of boats, large and small, adrift in rivers and oceans, and had never experienced seasickness.
The Seberia cruise ship is like a castle on the sea, living on it doesn't feel too much shaking at all, but Chen Mu is surprisingly seasick, and can only meditate in the cabin all day, except for encountering a big storm on the way and having to wake up for refuge, Chen Mu rarely goes out of the cabin.
If you haven't experienced a big storm at sea, you don't know how small human beings are, and the sea fortress like Seberia is thrown around by the monstrous waves like a flat boat, and everyone on the cruise ship is in danger, crying dad and calling mother, which is really impressive.
Fortunately, in the end, there was no danger, and after experiencing the storm, Chen Mu calmed down, and the seasickness disappeared.
In the next few days, Chen Mu walked around on the cruise ship, and also inquired about a lot of the situation in Honolulu, plus Zhong Shuiyang would also talk about it on weekdays, so he was no longer worried.
It's just that when the cruise ship docked at the port and set foot on a foreign land, Chen Mu's heart was full of abnormal emotions.
Honolulu is the Chinese name for Honolulu, located in the southeast corner of the capital of the state of Hawaii in America, and is called Honolulu because of its abundance of sandalwood.
It's just that when he was on the cruise, Chen Mu had already heard that the sandalwood on Oahu Island had already been cut down.
Sandalwood is one of the slowest-growing tree species in the world, and it takes more than ten years to reach maturity by parasitizing on vines in the early days, but it is loved for its special aroma, especially in coastal areas such as Guangdong.
Although the Chinese came to Honolulu very early and even participated in the construction of Honolulu, these sandalwood trees were not cut by the Chinese, but the locals took the initiative to cut and sell them for profit.
At this time, the port is also very busy, laborers are loading and unloading goods, and foreign sailors are carrying wine bottles, looking for merry.
As I inquired earlier, although the people on the island have different skin colors, the number of Asians is not small, and it can be regarded as more friendly when you look at it.
It's just that after all, this is the territory of the Americans, and the ghosts are powerful, whether they are Chinese or Southeast Asians, their social status is generally not high, and they are often oppressed and exploited, and can only engage in low-level jobs.
Of course, there are classes in every place, and the Chinese in the upper class are also pampered, and they can also be respected by foreigners, and even on an equal footing with foreigners in business, even foreigners have to be afraid of three points.
Chen Qi and Chen Tong originally wanted to send Zhong Shuiyang directly to Dandao Hospital, but there were too many people accompanying them, and at Zhong Shuiyang's insistence, they had to settle Chen Mu and the others first.
After getting off the boat, Chen Qi and Chen Tong went their separate ways, and soon found a car, moved into the salute, and left the bustling port with Chen Mu and others.
To be sure, the scenery of Honolulu is truly mesmerizing, with the shadows of coconut groves, the clear water, and the sky bluer than the sea, which is clearer than the sky.
The temperature here is not too hot, and the sea breeze is refreshing, and there is no need to worry about food.
Under the leadership of Chen Qi and Chen Tong, everyone soon came to a large manor, and after introduction, Chen Mu knew the origin of this place.
In the early years, Zhong Shuiyang just came to Honolulu to make a living, and it was with the help of Zhong Muxian, a businessman from Longhua, Guangdong, that he gained a firm foothold.
This gentleman came to Honolulu to work hard when he was young, and also established a chamber of commerce, becoming a giant businessman, and even foreigners had to give him three points of thin noodles.
It is said that when Mr. Sun was arrested in the United States, it was Mr. Zhong Muxian who came to the rescue, and Mr. Sun was able to join Hongmen, in addition to Zhong Shuiyang's recommendation, but also thanks to Mr. Zhong Muxian's personal guarantee.
The Guo=An Hall established by Mr. Chung Muxian was the location of the Hongmen Organization, and the Zhongyi Hall was preserved under the cover of the Association in great secrecy.
The people from the Guo'an Guild Hall seemed to have received the telegram a long time ago, and sent dozens of people, and took Chen Mu and his party to the manor halfway through, and settled down.
The leader in charge of this contact is the eldest son of Mr. Zhong Muxian, named Zhong Yunxiang, who is also young and promising, and a talent.
It's just that his eyes will stay on the red lotus's body from time to time, and Chen Mu is not easy to say, so he introduced him.
"Mr. Zhong, this is Neiko, like me, it's the first time I've gone far away, so I'll make you smile."
Zhong Yunxiang was also frightened, his face was red with shame, and he didn't dare to look at it again, but he just apologized to Chen Mu.
"Chen Ye is a big man in the province and Hong Kong, and Zhong has also admired him for a long time, but he didn't expect Mrs. Chen to be so ...... It's rude to be so beautiful......"
Although they haven't held a wedding yet, Chen Mu has long regarded Honglian as his wife, and I heard that foreigners are not very polite, since they have arrived in this place, Chen Mu does not need to worry about this.
Zhong Yunxiang's performance was still quite satisfactory, and in the following time, he really didn't squint and no longer secretly peeked at the red lotus.
But after arriving at the place, his eyes turned to Li Qingyu again, which really made people shake their heads.
"Master Chen, I don't know who this is?"
"Oh, this is the housesister herring, I was going to follow the troupe to San Francisco, follow me first, and buy a ferry ticket for the master and other peers."
Chen Mu didn't want to go into such detail, but Zhong Yunxiang was in charge of their daily life, and he would have to ask him to buy a ferry ticket at that time, so Chen Mu also mentioned it first.
Zhong Yunxiang nodded, but shook his head again, and said to Chen Mu: "Master Chen, you don't know, because of the hurricane destruction and the pirate blockade, the shipping channel to San Francisco has been blocked, and it has been reported to Hong Kong two months ago, how can it ......?"
After saying this, Zhong Yunxiang turned his eyes to Li Qingyu, but the latter had a weak face, and just muttered in a low voice: "Master, they didn't tell me this ...... either."
Chen Mu didn't think about it, and immediately thanked Zhong Yunxiang: "Thank you, Mr. Zhong, for reminding you, you may have to trouble you later, we need to send a telegram back, so as to save the troupe a trip in vain......"
Zhong Yunxiang nodded and agreed: "Master Chen, please rest assured, it's just a trivial matter." ”
Li Qingyu wanted to speak and stopped, after arriving at the room, Zhong Yunxiang gave a brief explanation, and then went outside to wait, Chen Mu took the opportunity to say to Li Qingyu.
"Come here, I have something to ask you."
Chen Mu's brows were furrowed, his face was displeased, Li Qingyu could also feel it, but he walked over uneasily, lowered his head, and didn't dare to look directly at Chen Mu.
"Say it yourself, what the hell is going on."
Li Qingyu was full of grievances, and finally said, "Big brother, don't you remember at all?" You said when you brought me out of the saltwater village that you would take good care of me in the future......"
"But you want to come to Honolulu, and you just want to go, and you don't even notify me, if I don't take the initiative to find the door, whether I can see you again in the rest of my life, it's hard to say!"
"I know that your mind is all on your sister-in-law, I don't expect anything, I just want to follow you, even if I give you a slave and a maid, I am willing, as long as I can stay by your side, what are these?"
Li Qingyu has never dared to express his heart directly, but now he finally cut it first and then revealed his heart.
Chen Mu was certainly moved in his heart, but he couldn't delay Li Qingyu, he brought Li Qingyu out of the saltwater village, just to give her a good life, follow him Chen Mu, what is it?
Chen Mu knew that this kind of thing should be decided, otherwise it would not be a good thing for him and Li Qingyu, so he immediately straightened his face and scolded Li Qingyu.
"You're messing around! You and I are brother and sister, you are always going to get married, what is it to stay with me! You have a good rest for a few days, wait for the next boat, and send you back to Hong Kong! ”
Chen Mu had never been so strict with Li Qingyu, she suddenly burst into tears, her eyes were red, and she yelled at Chen Mu: "I won't go back!" Even if you die, I will follow you, how can you be such a brother! ”
Chen Mu slapped the table: "How long will you mess around!" ”
Chen Mu still had to teach another lesson, and suddenly there were two dry coughs outside, Zhong Yunxiang knocked on the door and said gently: "Master Chen, lunch is ready, and my father also wants to see you......"
Chen Mu knew that Zhong Yunxiang was relieving them from the siege, so he eased up, and said to Zhong Yunxiang: "Okay, trouble Mr. Zhong, let's clean up and go over." ”
After saying this, Chen Mu said to Li Qingyu: "Let's clean up first." ”
Looking at Li Qingyu's pear blossoms with rain, Chen Mu felt very uncomfortable, and when he walked outside the door, he heard Li Qingyu's crying behind him, and he couldn't help but sigh lightly.
Seeing that Zhong Yunxiang was still outside the room, Chen Mu also smiled awkwardly: "Let Mr. Zhong smile......
Zhong Yunxiang shook his head: "Chen Yeyan's blessing is not shallow, and he envy others......"
Chen Mu shook his head and solemnly explained: "Qingyu is my sister-in-law, and it is reasonable that she has relied on me since she was born and died, and has gone through the most difficult days. ”
Zhong Yunxiang hesitated for a moment, and actually made a big gift to Chen Mu: "Zhong has something to ask for, and ask Chen Ye to fulfill it!" ”
Chen Mu hurriedly helped: "Mr. Zhong can't be like this, there is something to do, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”
Zhong Yunxiang gritted his teeth and said with a red face: "It's not a secret, my father is a person who has relocated to a peaceful land, and now that he is old, he has always wanted me to return to my hometown, recognize my ancestors and return to my ancestors, marry a woman in my hometown, and inherit the family lineage......"
"To tell the truth, Sister Ling is beautiful and generous, and the contemptible person is also in love at first sight, if Ye Chen can fulfill one or two, I can take Sister Ling back, and there will be a care along the way, if she is also ...... Wouldn't it be a good place to be? ”
Chen Mu didn't expect that this Zhong Yunxiang would be so straightforward.
Although it was the first time they met, Chen Mu still knew something about the situation of the Zhong family, but he didn't dare to judge Zhong Yunxiang's character.
If you only look at it from the perspective of family background, Zhong Yunxiang is indeed a good golden beetle son-in-law, and if you really love Li Qingyu, it is not impossible.
It's just that Chen Mu's heart was sour for some reason, and he just said to Zhong Yunxiang embarrassedly: "Mr. Zhong is quick to talk, I don't know how to answer, after all, it depends on what the sister means, I'll help you find out her tone when you go back......"
Zhong Yunxiang's face was full of joy: "Then thank you Chen Ye!" ”
Chen Mu smiled and was about to go down to the banquet, but saw Honglian standing at the end of the corridor, and estimated that he saw all this in his eyes and ears.
