A spring rain fell, the main roads and small roads in Wuchang City, the rainwater on the road quickly flowed into the sewers, the sewers made of red bricks and cement, so that the city is no longer like the past, every time it rains, it becomes a prosperous ocean. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The rain is getting heavier and heavier, and although the street lights are bright, there are fewer and fewer pedestrians on the streets.

The night gradually deepened.

In the Far Eastern Hotel, which is not far from the Governor's Mansion, this European-style hotel that was just built half a year ago is the most upscale hotel in Wuchang as soon as it is completed.

For ordinary people, a meal here and a night stay is something to brag about, but for the rich, it is not worth mentioning, such as the Guangdong-Hanzhou Railway Company rents multiple rooms here for a long time.

In the room on the third floor of the hotel, Rong Minghui is curled up and lying on a soft spring mattress, which is to some extent a symbol of luxury - a spring costs 12 yuan, which is equivalent to two months' salary for a worker, but the skilled craftsmen of the arsenal used the principle of spring force and reaction force to create the world's first spring mattress with 14 springs half a year ago, and the Central Hotel was the first place to use spring mattresses.

Now this kind of spring mattresses, which cost more than 500 yuan, have even become an important export product - in the Paris World Fair, spring mattresses, like electric lights, were sought after by Europeans, and even limited by production so that demand exceeded supply, so the Ministry of Industry decided to set up a factory in Hankou to specialize in the production of spring mattresses.

And today Rong Minghui was lying on the soft spring mattress, not only did she not feel comfortable, but her mind became even more disturbed, her long black hair was shining with silk, covering her slightly undulating chest, red lips like petals, and she breathed evenly,

At this time, the eldest lady of the Rong family is no longer the shrewd appearance she usually has, she has a sad expression, and she looks like everyone has been greatly wronged.

She looked out the window, and it was a little bright.

It wasn't the moon, it was an electric light.

Lamp!

When she thought of the electric light, she naturally thought of the man, of the bastard who almost ruined her reputation. Lying on the soft bed like this, her brow furrowed, and she began to think about her own thoughts.

"Cousin, have you never thought about getting married?"

Again, Rong Minghui's words came to her mind.

"Actually...... Han Du is a very good man! ”

What the?

Handu!

What the? What is my cousin talking about?

Her shrewd brain suddenly became dizzy, and even exploded.

Married to Handu?

Marry that bastard?

What is my cousin talking about?

"Little sister, in fact, this time I asked you to come for the company's affairs, and secondly, it is also for your lifelong events."

Pan Zhaolin looked at his cousin a little nervously, in fact, this was not his idea, this was the governor's idea. But in his opinion, this is the best thing, and it is the best choice for the Pan family, the Rong family, and his cousin.

"A lifelong event?"

Rong Minghui looked at her cousin with a sneer, and after the initial surprise, she reacted immediately, as shrewd as she was, and immediately understood what her cousin meant.

"Little sister's lifelong event, I'm afraid it's just my cousin's way to curry favor with Han Du, in your eyes, it's probably just the interests of your Pan family!"

"Cousin, don't misunderstand me, indeed, you do have a little selfishness, but, cousin, apart from Han Du, how can the Rong family accept you to marry someone else, and how can ordinary people get into my cousin's eyes and enter your heart?"

For Pan Zhaolin, there is indeed some selfishness, but at the same time, it is also for his cousin. He wanted his cousin to have a home.

"So you're going to treat me like a thing, and want to sacrifice me to that man?"

Rong Minghui sneered, she already understood, they had planned it from the beginning.

"Cousin, you listen to me"

Seeing his cousin protecting himself like a hedgehog, Pan Zhaolin's mood changed, lowered his tone, and said a little apologetically.

"At first, I didn't agree with that. I know, cousin, you are arrogant, ordinary men can't get into your eyes, even if he is Handu, he may not be worthy of you, but ...... Later, later, the governor said......"

"Did Governor Li say that ordinary men are not worthy of me, Han Governor is the dragon and phoenix among the people, naturally he will not wronged me, and more importantly, there are no Cantonese people in the Han Governor's Mansion, and Luo joins the army and is a Cantonese person, and now the people of Huguang in the Fuzhong are dominant, and in the future, Han Governor will be a balance in the Fuzhong, and he will inevitably reuse Cantonese people. If I marry into the palace and give birth to a son at that time, I may be the crown prince of the dynasty, and the Cantonese officials will support me......"

Although she hadn't heard Governor Li say these words, Rong Minghui could still guess how he said it to her cousin, which was nothing more than a temptation.

"Not only that, but if I can enter the house, I am afraid it will be a good thing for the railway company."

All his thoughts were broken by his cousin's words, Pan Zhaolin nodded silently, and then sighed.

"Cousin, you know that this time the Pan family is almost bankrupt, and the railway will be built no matter what...... Otherwise, the Pan family will be finished. ”

Maybe the Rong family still has a chance, but at that time, I am afraid that there will be no more Pan family in Guangzhou. In this regard, Rong Minghui would not have doubted that he knew that his cousin had pressed everything on this railway, if this railway was built, the Pan family would no longer have to worry about their livelihood from now on, and Guangzhou would surely prosper again at that time, but if the railway could not be built. Not only will the Pan family cease to exist, but even the Rong family will probably be greatly damaged.

In this case, Pan Zhaolin and the other dozen or so families naturally wanted to have an additional guarantee, just like the insurance of Westerners and merchant ships, and sending Rong Minghui into the mansion was naturally the best choice.

Pan Zhaolin looked at his cousin and said in a heavy and earnest tone:

"Cousin, if you don't want to, my cousin won't force it, and I'm not qualified to force it, but ...... Think for yourself, who can be worthy of you but him? And apart from him, how can ordinary people be accepted by the Rong family? ”

What Pan Zhaolin said is the truth, one of the most fundamental reasons why the Rong family keeps refusing to propose marriage to outsiders is that the Rong family's business can be said to have no successors except Rong Minghui, and several men of the Rong family are not business people at all, this point, his uncle knows very well, if it weren't for this, how could he have handed over the business to his cousin a few years ago.

Even if it is rich, those cousins and cousins will oppose it, they are afraid that the Rong family's family business will be controlled by their cousins for a long time, and in the end, they will be cheap "outsiders". And the man who is willing to join the family, the cousin can't look down on it.

Because of this, my cousin is still unmarried. First, ordinary people's cousins don't look down on it, and secondly, because the Rong family has been opposing it in private.

In the past, the Rong family had the ability to oppose ordinary people, but if the cousin was married to Han Du, how could the Rong family dare to say a word?

Of course, privately speaking, Pan Zhaolin knows very well that the second largest shareholder in the future railway company is the Rong family, and it is the only one who can threaten him, some things must be prepared in advance, as long as the cousin enters the house, it naturally has nothing to do with the Rong family, as for the shares, in the hands of those cousins, it is better than in the hands of Rong Minghui, she is too shrewd. Maybe the biggest rival in the railway company in the future will be her.

Whether it is public or private or reasonable, in Pan Zhaolin's opinion, marrying his cousin and marrying Han Du is the best choice!

And just like Governor Li said.

"In the future, when Han Du ascends the throne as emperor, Guangdong also needs a mother."

What the governor was thinking was not something that Pan Zhaolin could see, but he knew that there was a lady from Guangdong in the palace, and she was related to the Pan family, which was beneficial to him and harmless.

"Hey...... O human heart! ”

With such a long sigh, Rong Minghui's tone seemed a little helpless, she could understand her cousin and other people, but who could understand her? Why is it that women are always tools in the eyes of men? This is the case in the Rong family, and now in the eyes of outsiders, it is also the same.

Maybe it's because it's been too long, maybe it's a little tired, a wave of tiredness hits, Rong Minghui slackened down, so she took a nap, in a fog, she was like the bride of the West, wearing a white wedding dress, sitting in a number of white horses pulled by a Western-style carriage to a huge mansion, the door opened, and out of it came a young man in a dress, the man walked to the horse, and gently picked himself off the horse. She was anxious to struggle, but she didn't have any strength in her body, she wanted to curse the man, but she couldn't think of anything to scold. The man carried himself into the mansion and into a red room.

Then she saw a big happy word pasted on the head of the bed, it was actually a cave room!

How can it be a cave house? How did you end up here?

In astonishment, the man holding him was now wearing the clothes of the bridegroom, he smiled wickedly, his hands were irregular, he touched himself and gradually slid down...... Until...... When she looked down in shame to take the hand away, she found herself lying naked in the man's arms. She was so embarrassed that she was about to beat the man with a bruised nose and swollen face.

Don't, don't, please, don't...... Rong Minghui got up from the table in a cold sweat, looked at the room, and reacted for a while.

It turned out to be a dream!

Rong Minghui touched her head and muttered.

"That stinky man, if I meet you again, see that I don't pull your tendons and pick your skin!"

Rong Minghui remembered the culprit in the dream, and muttered with a red face, but after thinking about it, she couldn't remember what the stinky man in the dream looked like.

Although she didn't see the stinky man's appearance clearly, in the bottom of her heart, she vaguely knew an answer...... (To be continued.) )
