Chapter 3 A Hundred Years of Qiu Tong
Located in the south of Yejin, the children's house has just been converted from an old-style courtyard house into a new-style Western-style building, which makes Qiu Zeyuan, a frequent visitor here, a little uncomfortable. At this time, the white belly of the fish on the horizon was just fainting, and the little maid and maid of the Tong family were still cleaning the courtyard and preparing breakfast. The gatekeeper saw the overseer's visit, and hurriedly went to report to the housekeeper, but Qiu Zeyuan ordered someone to stop him, and he got out of the car and walked in the courtyard, the building near the gate of the Tong family is now inhabited by the servants of the Tong family, the center of the courtyard is a small chrysanthemum-style fountain, and further north is the main building, now the owners of the Tong family have not yet gotten up, and Qiu Zeyuan is not convenient to go inside, so he simply stopped at the fountain and listened to the sound of splashing.
Although the children's house only has the name of a private house, not to mention the people of Yejin, it is the people of Pudong who know the status of this mansion in Pudong. Because of its status, no one in Pudong dares to call the children's house a house, and they all respect the children's house. Now the owner of this Tong Mansion is Tong Fengyi, the financial secretary in charge of Pudong's finances. If you want to talk about the origin of this Tong Fengyi and Qiu Zeyuan, the current overseer of Pudong, you have to start from a hundred years ago......
A hundred years ago, there was a strong enemy invasion outside Puxin Prefecture, and there were warlords fighting inside. For a while, mourning was everywhere, and the people were miserable. At that time, the Pudong overseers did not care about the lives of the people, wantonly looted the people's fat and ointment, and colluded with foreign enemies to blindly march westward, intending to take the entire Puxi Prefecture into their pockets. From time to time, there was a person who raised troops in the northeastern border of Pudong, and denounced the overseer Fu Renjiu to the outside world, not for wealth but for survival. This sentence "not for wealth, but for survival" aroused the resentment and fighting spirit of the people of Pudong, who had been oppressed by the warlords for a long time. In just half a year, he gathered enough strength to confront the Fu family's army, and then overthrew the Fu family's regime with a devastating force, and that person also became the new Pudong overseer. In the past, names were not taken seriously, but now as an Overseer, how can they not have a resounding name? However, this person has been an orphan since he was a child, and he doesn't know who his surname is, so he simply takes Qiu as his surname and takes his life as his name. Since then, Pudong has opened the era of the Qiu family's governance. Since ancient times, Ming Jun will have several capable ministers to assist, and Tongle is the "money bag" that Qiu Sheng relies on. Tong Le was originally the son of a cloth vendor in Yejin City, and his acquaintance with Qiu Sheng stemmed from a theft. In fact, the facts of the case are not difficult to investigate, it is nothing more than that Qiu Sheng did not have enough clothes for the winter, and stole a few pieces of fabric from the Tong family to wrap around his body. More than ten years later, Qiu Sheng became a soldier, and he remembered this old friend from a small time and asked him to be his bookkeeper.
A hundred years of light is enough to consume the initial deep friendship, and it is also enough to stitch up the blood of the past. Qiu Tong's two families can be in the same boat in this century-old troubled world, which shows the wisdom of the ancestors of the past generations. As the descendants of Qiu Tong's two families, Qiu Zeyuan and Tong Fengyi are lucky, they were born to enjoy the rich shade left by their ancestors. At the same time, they are also unlucky, it is easy to fight the country and it is difficult to defend the country, they must be cautious every step they take, and every word they say must be carefully considered.
Now there is one thing that makes Qiu Zeyuan hesitate, so the genius Meng Mengliang came to Tong's house to discuss with Tong Fengyi. This matter also weighed on Tong Fengyi's heart, so Qiu Zeyuan didn't enjoy the scenery for long before it was interrupted.
"Zeyuan? Why are you standing outside and not coming in? Steward Yao, go and see how the people outside are doing badly! The Overseers came without a word. Tong Fengyi shouted.
"No need, Steward Yao. I didn't let them know. You're still asleep, and I'm coming to disturb you early in the morning, and I'm too embarrassed to wake you up. Qiu Zeyuan smiled, and there was a boyish narrowness between his eyebrows.
Tong Fengyi saw that he was speaking seriously, but there was this expression on his face, and he couldn't help but be witty, so he said, "Since Lord Overseer is so compassionate, then I'll go back to breakfast first and then entertain the Overseer!" So saying, he turned and went into the house.
At this time, a noble lady walked out of the building, although she was only wearing a brocade nightdress, not wearing powder, but also showing a graceful temperament.
"Look at the two of you, how old you are, and frolicking like children. The autumn breeze is very cool in the morning, Zeyuan come into the house quickly. Steward Yao, quickly order someone to prepare breakfast. Mrs. Tong He Yanjun said.
"It's still my sister-in-law's wife, who is not as unkind as some people." Qiu Ze grumbled as he walked inside.
As soon as Tong Fengyi was about to reply, He Yanjun took over: "Okay, you are so childlike, let's fight at the table in a while." Zeyuan, you came to the door early in the morning, I'm afraid it's not to quarrel with him. I've ordered someone to prepare the tea, so please two of you. She then opened the door to the study, and when the two of them entered, she closed the door tightly.
He Yanjun turned around and instructed the people around him: "Sister-in-law Yao, it's still the old rules." ”
Sister-in-law Yao nodded in response, "Yes, madam." ”
Inside the study
Qiu Zeyuan and Tong Fengyi's faces were as flat as water, without a trace of waves, and they didn't see Fang Cai's playful expression for half a minute.
"If you want to eradicate the root cause, I will not object." Tong Fengyi said. He said this without a clue, but Qiu Zeyuan fully understood what he meant.
Tong Fengyi put his hand on his forehead and sighed: "It was late at night when Yuqing returned home last night, but she still told me about Lu Tiansheng's private house. Not to mention how lavishly the mansion was furnished, the location of the house alone is shocking. The eastern suburbs of Yejin! He can stick a nail in your back for Lu Tiansheng, in case it hits Yejin one day, the inside and the outside should be together, and Pudong is in danger! In the past, he did all that nonsense, but this time, he was too out of line! ”
Qiu Zeyuan patted Tong Fengyi on the shoulder, "It's just that everything is still under our control, you don't have to blame yourself too much." ”
"But ......"
"Don't be, I said long ago that he is him, you are you, and his sins are not your fault. If you have time to sin yourself, you might as well help me think of countermeasures......"
Last night there was another turmoil, but Tong Yuqing did not dare to slack off on her work, she entered the financial department for two years, from the trivial matters of logistics in the department to the major events of strategy formulation, Tong Fengyi asked her to learn. However, the huge financial secretary, let alone let a teenage girl grasp everything thoroughly, even Tong Fengyi, who has been in the world for a long time, may not be able to handle everything properly. Therefore, Tong Yuqing never dared to make any mistakes in doing things, but she knew her current strength very well, and she could only "not seek merit, but no fault".
This morning, she has been studying the tax situation of Yejin over the years, staring at various data indicators, she can only look up to the sky and sigh, "Woohoo, lament!" ”
Just as he was sighing, there was a knock on the door outside the room, Tong Yuqing hurriedly sorted out the documents on the table and said, "Please speak." ”
A gentle female voice soon came from outside the door, "Miss, I'm Miao Wen, and the director asked me to invite you to the VIP room." Tong Yuqing packed up the documents, archived the lock box and walked out of the confidential room. She locked the door and asked Miao Wen, "Who is here?" ”
Miao Wen said: "Miss Hui, it's Bai Qiaoxuan and Bai Gongzi who are coming, but they haven't arrived yet." ”
Tong Yuqing thought about it for a few moments, didn't she say that she would greet Bai Qiaoxuan at the Overseer's Mansion tonight? Besides, Uncle Qiu and his father don't need to deal with last night's turmoil? Why did you let Bai Qiaoxuan come to the division at this time......
When Tong Yuqing turned around, she saw Miao Wen standing nine feet away from her with her back to her, she couldn't help but sigh secretly, and then smiled: "Let's go......"
"Sister Wen, how many times have I told you not to be so nervous in front of me, you have been a secretary by your father's side for so many years, I doubt that no one will doubt you. If you come into the confidential room to find me, I won't tell my father. Tong Yuqing said as she walked.
"It is Miao Wen's honor for Miss to trust, but this rule cannot be abolished. The study of the two houses of the Qiu Tong Mansion, the confidential rooms of the Overseer and the Financial Secretary, these four rooms are not allowed to enter without the permission of the Overseer or the Chief, and anyone who violates them will die. Even if the young lady is tolerant, Miao Wen can't hide it from the guard. Miao Wen said meticulously.
"That's it, I can't talk about you, so I'll leave it to you." Saying that, Tong Yuqing knocked on the door of the VIP room and walked in.
"Father, why did you call me?" Tong Yuqing said and sat on the golden silk nanmu round chair on Tong Fengyi's right.
Tong Fengyi looked at his daughter's expression and praised: "I just experienced an accident and can still look as usual, and my joy and anger are invisible, which is very good." ”
Tong Yuqing said with a smile: "When I went home last night, I saw that you only asked me where I was taken, and I wasn't worried about whether I was injured at all, so I knew that this was a bureau set up by you and Uncle Qiu." You originally knew that the Lu brothers were coming, so you let Youyou pretend to be sick and let me pick up Bai Qiaoxuan for her. By the way, it depends on whether I can deal with Lu Jingpeng. It seems that you are happy with my performance? ”
The approval in Tong Fengyi's eyes faded a little, and he said solemnly: "I just praised you for being happy and angry, and your true form was revealed so quickly." Let me ask you, if it wasn't Lu Jingpeng who asked you to face last night, but Lu Tiansheng. Is there a way for you to get out of it? ”
Tong Yuqing pursed her mouth and shouted, "Father, you are always so harsh on me. That Lu Tiansheng is the Puxi Overseer, and you and Uncle Qiu still have to rack their brains to deal with him, let alone me. ”
"You know how heavy it is? And that still get carried away? ”
"Yoyo is still the daughter of the Overseer, why haven't I seen Uncle Qiu want Yoyo to know the severity." Tong Yuqing muttered quietly, but Tong Fengyi still heard it.
Tong Fengyi immediately raised his sword eyebrows, and said in a deep voice: "What did you say?!" ”
Tong Yuqing saw that her father's face was wrong, and hurriedly said, "Oh, I know...... I can't compare it to Yoyo. ”
Knock, knock, knock
Tong Fengyi wanted to tell his daughter a few more words, but when he saw someone outside the door, he didn't say more.
Tong Yuqing asked, "Do you need me to avoid it?" ”
"Not necessarily." Tong Fengyi replied, and then raised his voice: "Please come in." ”
The afternoon sun turned into one spot after another, chasing and frolicking on the snow-white wall like a child, causing Tong Yuqing to raise her hand to cover her vision. A long figure suddenly covered these arbitrary points of light, Tong Yuqing was safe, slowly lowered his hand, and looked out......
The face is like a crown of jade, the eyebrows are long into the sideburns, the eyes are like a star, the nose is like a hanging gall, the lips are like a smear, and a white suit makes the already hidden body more upright. Tong Yuqing secretly praised, what a white boy!
Here, Bai Qiaoxuan was also carefully looking at Tong Yuqing, who helped her last night, only to feel that she was different from the deep boudoir she had seen in the past, even if she looked directly at herself, it was difficult for her to peek into what she was thinking from her eyes.
"Bai Qiaoxuan, the general manager of Baijiawan, has seen Director Tong and Miss Tong."
Tong Fengyi stepped forward to help Bai Qiaoxuan and said kindly: "Qiao Xuan, you were frightened last night, how did you rest?" ”
Bai Qiaoxuan saw that Tong Fengyi's eyebrows were warm, and the tension in his heart dissipated a little, and replied, "Director Xie cares, Qiao Xuan is all right." It's just that Miss Tong waited for a long time at the train station yesterday afternoon, I'm really sorry. ”
After Tong Yuqing went home last night, he knew that Lu Tiansheng sent someone to intercept Bai Qiaoxuan yesterday morning, and he felt guilty for misunderstanding Bai Qiaoxuan yesterday, and today he apologized again, Tong Yuqing didn't dare to slack off anymore, got up and replied: "Bai Gongzi doesn't have to worry about this matter anymore, Yuqing also has bad manners, please forgive me." ”
"Where, where, I would like to thank Miss Tong for standing on the platform to relieve the siege."
"That's not necessary, yesterday it was the Overseers who took precautions and relieved you and me. If you want to thank you, you should also thank the overseer. ”
……
Tong Yuqing and Bai Qiaoxuan greeted each other back and forth, and when they finished their polite words, Tong Fengyi said: "Sit down and talk, I have something to inform you." ”
