Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Occasional Family Makes Two Places
Between Chen Mu and Isabella, it was a deal, Chen Mu helped her win the trial of the Knights, ruined her political marriage with Francois, and she would release Hebo and others.
Now that the transaction is over, this subordinate knight is actually just in name, Chen Mu wants to get out, it shouldn't be difficult to think about it.
But it's not very easy to find an excuse for the foreigner's set, what kind of award ceremony has been carried out, of course, Chen Mu wants to fight hard, it's not impossible, it's just that the breakup is ugly.
Tencho reprimanded Chen Mu for dereliction of duty, but Chen Mu thought of a way, if he had been derelict in his duties, would Trio be dismissed? If so, it's an excuse.
However, Chen Mu didn't want to use this way, because foreigners originally discriminated against the Chinese, and if they were dismissed by being rotten, it would be equivalent to discrediting themselves and the Chinese, and Chen Mu was not very willing.
The bell must be tied to the bell, whether this matter started because of Isabella, and in the end it is up to Isabella to solve it, as long as Isabella nods, Trio will be easy to say.
Originally, it was only an expedient measure to send people under the fence, but now that he knows that He Huyong's main purpose is to compete with him for Hong Shuntang, Chen Mu has Sun Youlin and other people as the foundation, so he wants to find out the black hand behind Gong Fuzi as soon as possible and rebuild Hong Shuntang.
From what happened today, Chen Mu also felt the crisis.
Hongshuntang is the largest rudder of Hongmen, this non-governmental organization has been passed down for hundreds of years and has not fallen, and finally has his truth and heritage.
But the times are advancing, and now it is different from the past, Hong Shuntang is going downhill, and it has reached the point of emaciated camels, which is also an indisputable fact.
Although Senior Lin and the female student are stubborn to the point of madness, they are not alarmist, and they are really in a national crisis at the moment, whether a non-governmental organization like Hong Shuntang can survive and continue under such a wave is the general direction that really needs to be considered.
If you want to complete this plan, you must have a premise, that is, to get free first, which is the starting point of Chen Mu!
Chen Mu was thinking about how to solve this problem and how to open his mouth to Isabella, but the old butler of the consulate walked in and reported to Chen Muyu.
"Chen, there's a Mr. Lin out there who wants to see you."
"Mr. Lin?" Chen Mu suddenly became nervous, could it be that Senior Lin knew his identity and wanted to ask for his help to release those students who were parading the streets?
"It's really bold to dare to come to the consulate, this group of people is really fanatical......
Chen Mu also shook his head and smiled bitterly, thinking of Senior Lin and the female student's stubborn appearance to the extreme, it was not impossible to come to the consulate for help.
But this is extremely risky, if people recognize it, even Chen Mu will also be implicated.
Chen Mu didn't know why he wanted to help them until now, although he decided to help them get out of danger when he considered Hong Shuntang's future, but now that he thinks about it, this reason is actually not so sufficient.
In fact, Chen Mu also knew very well that helping them was the same as hating them, that is, the almost fanatical and pathological ideals in them.
Chen Mu hated and even hated this kind of stubborn idealism, and at the same time admired it, so much so that he wanted to help them.
To put it bluntly, I was moved by their behavior, and helping them get out of danger was purely impulsive, as for Hong Shuntang's future, it was just an excuse.
Although Chen Mu said that he wanted to leave the consulate, he must not discredit himself, and he did not want to be kicked out of the consulate because he was involved with these street students.
"Bring him in!"
Thinking of this, Chen Mu didn't think about it, and hurriedly took it in, so as not to let others see it.
The old housekeeper saw that Chen Mu was a little nervous, and he didn't dare to slack off, so he quickly brought people in, and Chen Mu laughed self-deprecatingly when he saw it.
It turned out that it was not Senior Lin, but his own dear Lin Sheng, who really had a ghost in his heart and scared himself.
"Qi Ye, why are you here!" Chen Mu has entered the concession since he entered the concession, and Lin Sheng, the deed master, has never come to bother, and it is rare to visit today.
Chen Mu led Lin Sheng and asked him to sit down, but he stood up, which also followed the rules, but Lin Sheng was a little displeased.
"Although I am your father, but we are brothers first, you are now a knight of foreigners, you stand like this, where am I embarrassed to speak."
Chen Mu also smiled, knowing that Lin Sheng was a man of his word, so he sat down with him, and Lin Sheng nodded with satisfaction.
"I have settled down with them, and I came here today to take you home for a gathering."
Chen Mu knew that Qi Ye was a righteous person, and he would inevitably settle down Hebo and the others, but it was a little strange to let Chen Mu go home for a party.
"Qi Ye, is there anything important?"
Lin Sheng heard Chen Mu's words, and he also made a straight face: "You became a knight of the ghost guy, and you forgot about me, the third master?" Let you go back and sit down, all condescending to you? ”
Chen Mu subconsciously asked, but he didn't expect to offend Qi Ye, so he hurriedly explained: "Qi Ye, you know that I don't mean that!" ”
Lin Sheng laughed at this time: "It's just a joke, it's your eldest brother who came back from the Japanese University Hall and picked him up tonight, wanting you to go back and meet him." ”
"Big brother is back? That's great, I'm going to go back and see you! ”
Chen Mu knew that Lin Sheng had a son, but he just stayed abroad to study, but he didn't expect to come back so soon.
"Alas...... Don't be too excited, your eldest brother is an unobtrusive character, and it's been more than half a month since he came back, so he remembered to go home and take a look, I, who is a father, is also very cold-hearted......" Lin Sheng's excitement seemed to be suppressed all of a sudden.
Chen Mu also knew, and he had heard Liang Xuesong talk to him earlier, Lin Sheng's son Lin Wen was an advocate of Western studies, and he studied military studies in Japanese universities, and his ambitions were not small.
is also because Lin Wen strives for progress and innovative thinking, so Lin Sheng, an old talent in the Qing Dynasty, has always been regarded as an old feudal, and the relationship between the two has not been so harmonious, and they even quarreled over the matter of staying abroad, which can be regarded as unhappy.
It's no wonder that Lin Sheng will find Chen Mu to go back to the party, after all, his son is back, and his mood is much better, but it can also be seen from this that no matter how the two quarrel, Lin Sheng is really rare for this son.
Although he opposes his son staying abroad, after his son comes back, he can't wait to show off to others, which is the normal state of the old father.
Chen Mu can understand such a mood, when he and Lin Sheng left the concession and returned to the Lin family.
He Bo and the others were all familiar servants, and Lin Sheng did not place them elsewhere, but stayed at home to listen to the call, and everyone was happy to see Chen Mu come back, Chen Mu saw that it was not time to eat, so he said to Lin Sheng.
"Qi Ye, I'll talk about gossip first, and then I'll go over to look for you later."
Lin Sheng smiled and nodded, and let Chen Mu, He Bo and the others get together first, which is also human nature.
Hebo and the others arrived in the new environment, they were somewhat uncomfortable, and they were under the fence, although their hands and feet were diligent and quick, and they were proficient, but in an unfamiliar environment, it was inevitable that there would be some sesame mung beans and Chen Mu said.
If there was no Chen Mu, the second young man, they would not have today, they were respectful to Chen Mu, it was rare for Chen Mu to come back, and a group of people took hot water to soak Chen Mu's feet, which can also be regarded as washing Chen Mu's bad luck.
Chen Mu was also very comfortable, covering his face with a hot towel, and dozed off unconsciously, but was woken up by some familiar and unfamiliar voices in a daze.
"You are not slaves, you must be your own masters!"
"We're not...... We are mercenaries, not slaves......"
"You know, you are a helper, the helper can break the agreement, you are free, why do you want to stay here and serve others?"
"No one is born to serve, we are all human beings, so why should we serve others?"
"But we're all old, and we don't have any other skills, where can we find a bite to eat?"
Chen Mu took down the towel covering his face and walked out of the room, and saw that a person was persuading Hebo and the others, and Chen Mu suddenly frowned.
"How are you?"
The man was also taken aback: "Why are you here!" ”
Chen Mu couldn't cry or laugh, because this person was Senior Lin who took the lead in parading the streets, and the person standing next to him was the stubborn female student!
Chen Mu also knew it in his heart, but he didn't expect such a coincidence, if he guessed correctly, this Senior Lin should be Lin Sheng's own son Lin Wen.
It's no wonder that Hebo and others didn't dare to talk back, the Lin family came to persuade them to find their own way out, and it was an embarrassing topic for Hebo and others under the fence, and it can be imagined.
Lin Wen also seemed to guess Chen Mu's identity, and asked Chen Mu: "Abba said that he took in a godbrother for me, wouldn't it be you?" ”
Chen Mu didn't hide or dodge, and said to Lin Wen: "Yes, my name is Chen Youren, and the third master is my deed master." ”
Lin Wen's face suddenly turned ugly, and he said to Chen Mu: "What age is this, and the deed is still collected, it is simply the residual poison of feudal society, Aba is really, who is not good to accept, he actually accepts a foreign devil's lackey as a deed!" ”
Lin Wen was obviously still dissatisfied with Chen Mu, Chen Mu didn't say much, Lin Wen didn't recognize him, and he Chen Mu wouldn't have a hot face and a cold butt, so he immediately ironically went back.
"Yes, if it weren't for me, a lackey of foreign devils, you would have become a prisoner of foreign devils now."
Lin Wen was also speechless when Chen Mu said this, because what Chen Mu said was also true, but it just happened to stab him, and Lin Wen immediately jumped to his feet.
"Who let you save it, if you don't save me, I can still work with my classmates to endure hardships and shed blood for the sake of national righteousness, so that more ignorant people can be awakened!"
The female student next to her also chimed in: "The revolution always needs someone to shed blood, this is glorious and great, not everyone is as greedy for life and afraid of death as you!" ”
Chen Mu also shook his head and smiled bitterly, remembering that this female student was almost humiliated, the frightened posture at that time, but now she said it so greatly, it was really funny.
"Okay, well, I'm greedy for life and afraid of death, you are the greatest, it depends on you to save the Chinese nation, now I want to continue to soak my feet, continue to rot in the feudal society, I am willing to degenerate, please don't wake me up as an ignorant person."
When Lin Wen heard this, his face suddenly turned red with anger!
