Chapter 183: Spiritual Comfort
"Hey, hey, hey...... Dream, didn't I tell you before, even if your official family gave me the seat under his ass, I wouldn't be nostalgic. To put it mildly, I'm not a cheap bone, if I want a country, I can make a bigger and richer country in minutes, and there is no need to bite on the stinky meat of the Great Song Dynasty. The Han people, the Song people, the Nanfan people, the Mongols, the Great Cannibals, the Great Qin people, in fact, are all the same for me, no different. The reason why I want to help the Great Song Dynasty is not only because my ancestors are Han, but mainly because your official family is quite good, and there is room for salvation. But I can only do this, let me pay more for your Da Song, don't say I don't agree, and the board of directors of Jinhewan will not agree, people in this world don't all revolve around Da Song. ”
"It's useless to think so much, it's better to do the things in front of you first. You and Brother Luo came back just in time, you still have to deal with Zhao Fan's people, Brother Luo helps me deal with the officials in Mingzhou, I still have some things to finish here. Hong Tao knew Wen Nan's thoughts, although he joined Jinhewan, his heart was still on the side of the Great Song Dynasty. He hopes that Hong Tao can be attracted by the Great Song Dynasty, even if he is attracted by power, he is willing. even hopes that Hong Tao can call for wind and rain in the Great Song Dynasty, so that he can follow Hong Tao and do more, bigger, and more fulfilling things. He felt that the fish tank in Jinhewan was still a bit small, which did not fit his future plan. Hong Tao will not make the slightest concession on this issue, let alone a Wennan, even if the directors of Quanjinhewan have this mind, he will not agree. Don't bother yourself with this kind of thing, otherwise you will pat your ass and leave immediately, even if your daughter-in-law and children don't go with you, it doesn't matter. That's his bottom line. Insurmountable.
With the addition of Wen Nan and Luo Youde. Hong Tao is idle again every day, in the matter of ushering in the matter of talking about business, Luo Youde is more patient to deal with the details, he is not annoyed with Mingzhou officials and businessmen all day long, and he is quite happy, and he enjoys this feeling of hugging everywhere he goes. The officials of Mingzhou also preferred to associate with Luo Youde, a purebred Song man, and compared with Hong Tao, he was considered his own person. They are also more disciplined. It's okay to be unconventional once or twice, but if you don't be vulgar every day, then most people won't be able to bear it, because most people are laymen, and they don't have the brains to deal with Hong Tao's habits that are incompatible with Da Song all day long.
Wen Nan went to Lin'an, he was going to report to Zheng Qingzhi, although the boat transfer envoy was a township soldier, but this township soldier had a very special status, it was approved by the emperor, and the entire court knew about it. It's not just about knowing. It has also become a key point in the political struggle of the imperial court, and it looks inconspicuous. You may be able to decide when you win or lose a game of chess. Whether Wen Nan likes it or not, he has been branded as Zheng Qingzhi's faction, or the main battle faction. At present, Emperor Lizong supports the main battle faction more, but the emperor will not make a clear statement, in case the main battle faction has the upper hand, he will immediately stand with the main war faction and criticize the unlucky people in the main battle faction. And Wen Nan's face, no matter how he looks like that unlucky guy, no matter what the purpose, Zheng Qingzhi will not protect him.
Wen Nan knows this, and Hong Tao also knows it. Wen Nan didn't care about carrying this black cauldron, for him, if he could be as heroic as Yue Xianggong, even if he was wronged, it would be a blessing. Hong Tao didn't care about Wen Nan going to carry the black cauldron, but he didn't care about the weight of the black cauldron. For everyone in the Great Song Dynasty, this black cauldron is very big and very heavy, and the prime minister of the court does not dare to carry it, and whoever carries it will be ruined. But Hong Tao doesn't see it that way, the black cauldron of the Song Dynasty is not even a fart for a Jinhewan person, Wen Nan is a Jinhewan person and his own student, so this black cauldron is useless to him. He wanted to sacrifice his life for the country, but unfortunately he had to ask himself first if this gentleman agreed.
After the business was done, the main fleet of Jinhewan should leave Mingzhou, either continue to plague Dengzhou and Mizhou, or return to Jinhewan to rest. But this time Hong Tao did not leave in a hurry, but stayed in Mingzhou temporarily, the reason was to wait for the final battle report from the imperial court to see what the effect of this northward harassment was. This reason can really be taken out, and the post-war evaluation is very important, and it has a very important guiding role in future actions.
But this is not Hong Tao's true words, the reason why he is not in a hurry to leave is not waiting for some battle report, that thing is not of great use to him. He is playing a war method dominated by me, and what the enemy thinks is not in his scope at all, if you are uncomfortable, I have to fight, and you don't care if I still fight. So what is he going to do in Mingzhou? He's waiting for someone, or rather enjoying a kind of fun. This person is Jiang Zhuyi, this kind of interest is the indescribable feeling when I am with her, both like a lover and like a business partner, sometimes mixed with a little hatred, the more I can't clean it up, the more interesting it is. To be precise, Hong Tao derailed mentally!
It has been nine years since he came to the Great Song Dynasty, and Hong Tao basically has no emotional life except for daily calculations, planning, creation, and inventions. Bo Zhu is a good woman, the standard marriage of a chicken and a dog is a dog, but she and Hong Tao have no common language, so there is no spiritual communication. Senya is even more not, her culture and habits are too far from Hong Tao, and Chinese is not very neat, that is, she can communicate normally, and she is still far from spiritual comfort. Bai Xiang can't even speak Chinese now, Bo Zhu can still talk to Hong Tao about work, and Senya can also talk about European culture, but she doesn't have anything to talk about with Hong Tao at all. She also doesn't understand that people still need spiritual communication, the only thing she cares about is whether Jinhewan will have a part of her children in the future, if Hong Tao dies, who will be the next elder, and whether they will drive their mother and son away. Even though Hong Tao had to explain to her every time he went home that Jinhewan was different from the Li tradition, she still couldn't understand.
But Jiang Zhuyi is different, she has been to private school since she was a child, she knows a lot of poetry and songs, and she can dance and play the piano, and all kinds of history books and allusions throw Hongtao eight streets. She can talk to Wen Nan on literary and historical issues for an hour without falling behind, and she can write a word or something when she puts pen to paper, even Wen Nan will praise her sincerely, she is a standard talented woman. That's not all, this woman's emotional intelligence is still very high. Although she can't figure out Hong Tao's roots, she knows what Hong Tao likes and hates, and she can make full use of her own advantages, and she can also grasp a degree, neither aggressive nor too cold, which can always make Hong Tao feel a sense of freshness.
Sometimes Hong Tao even wondered if she was professionally trained, and that the enemy had specially sent her to confuse her. He also tested her in various ways, and the conclusion was that no, she was not pretending to be these things, nor was she trained, but innate. There is such a kind of woman, they are born to fascinate men, and Jiang Zhuyi is this kind of woman. And she also belongs to the customized version, not all men look at her pleasing to the eye, with her appearance, figure and temperament, it does not conform to the aesthetics of most Song Dynasty men. She is a customized version of the customized version, and it seems that it is specially customized for Hong Tao. The most important thing is that she herself also looks at Hong Tao pleasing to the eye, this thing is too coincidental.
It is said that it is difficult for men to chase women, and it is easy for women to chase men, but this is indeed the case in reality. Jiang Zhuyi would run to the Jinhe to find Hong Tao every once in a while, for many reasons, such as asking for advice on the production process and sales method of perfume. But she can't come to ask for advice every day, so she became interested in navigation again, as long as Hong Tao did not refuse, she ran to the ship to listen to Hong Tao's lectures. She learned geography, mathematics, physics, Latin, and English, and in her words, she was the daughter of a maritime merchant, and of course she had to inherit her father's business, and these things had to be taught by Hong Tao, because Hong Tao owed her.
Will Hong Tao be persuaded by such far-fetched reasons? If he were someone else, he would definitely not, and he was forced to let Swan trample the person who said this to death, and then throw him into the Yongjiang River. But for Jiang Zhuyi, he felt that what people said was very reasonable, and he nested in the cabin from 9 to 5 every day, willingly gave her lectures, and had to take care of the food. Of course, it is not clear whether the two of them are just lecturing in the captain's room, or whether there are other on-site practical experiments. Whenever Jiang Zhuyi came to class, Swann stood on the back deck with a big axe, not to mention the captain's room, and the entire stern was not allowed to be approached.
"All Australian women dress like this?" If someone enters the captain's room at this time, they will definitely be shocked. Jiang Zhuyi was wearing a light green round-neck dress, a pair of wooden wedge leather sandals on her feet, and a delicate small leather bag with a bunch of LV words branded on it with a soldering iron. In addition to the standard Song Dynasty women with hairstyles, Jiang Zhuyi was a fashionable girl in later generations.
"Well, it's summer dress, and they'll wear their hair down and roll it up, and it would be perfect if they had sunglasses." Hong Tao's desk has become a tailor's shop, and he still has a piece of silk thread in his mouth, looking at Jiang Zhuyi standing in front of the big bronze mirror, he is about to flow down.
Hong Tao really hasn't made any out-of-line behavior with Jiang Zhuyi these days, at least in Hong Tao's concept, if according to the morality of the Great Song Dynasty, he and Jiang Zhuyi should be sunk into the river! Where did an unmarried girl run into a married man's room, undressed, and changed again, and the clothes she changed were showing her arms and thighs, almost as cool as a female sumo wrestler. The most hateful thing is that a woman walks out of the bedroom after changing her clothes, and she has to scratch her head in front of this man, which is so immoral! (To be continued.) )
