Chapter 413: A Heavenly Match
On the vast sea, a passenger ship belonging to the Swire Albion Company is moving at full speed towards the Kingdom of Jin. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
After a long journey, the ship will soon arrive in Jinguo, and the mood of the passengers on board will also become cheerful because they are about to arrive at their destination. At this time, sailing at sea is an extremely difficult thing.
The passengers in the third class and even in the cargo hold endured hunger and thirst, and fell asleep in the torture of a disgusting stench, hoping that this journey of suffering would end soon. Travelers who stayed in the dining room began to celebrate their journey in various ways, with high-end drinks, food, and pastries being delivered here like a stream, and those that could not be eaten were thrown into the sea.
Here, there is no smell of peculiar smells, and perfume is sprinkled all over the room to cover up the peculiar smell as much as possible. The passengers are decent people, and naturally they will not spare a bath fee to ensure the cleanliness of their bodies. Female passengers will even apply fat powder flower dew to their bodies, so as not to lose face.
On the deck, several Chinese students are performing a small civilized play, and the water in this area is gentle, which is very suitable for the performance. They were extremely involved in acting, and even foreigners were attracted to watch it attentively. The performance has come to an end, and the old speaker is a young man in a white suit, holding a civilized stick and shouting: The earth has sunk for hundreds of autumns, and the smoke is billowing and blood is flowing. Sadly count the current events, who is the same kind of shameful hatred?......
At the end of an impassioned speech, there was a burst of applause on deck, and the foreign travelers, even if they did not know what he was saying, applauded his enthusiastic performance.
The female character in the civilized drama is played by a young and handsome man in his early twenties, and as soon as the performance is over, he immediately goes to the cabin and takes off his skirt. I changed into a shirt and trousers, picked up a civilization stick and walked out. The person who served as an old student of speech had also changed his clothes and walked out from the other side, just in front of him.
The old student who served as a speech veteran was an Oriental woman in her twenties. She wears a white Western hat on her head, the hat is inlaid with delicate Western lace, and she wears a snow-colored tunic dress, which shows her graceful figure to the fullest. The skin is like snow, the eyebrows are picturesque, the face of melon seeds, the high nose and cherry mouth, the eyebrows are like distant mountains, and the eyes are like autumn water, dressed as a man, he has already let the Taixi Jiali Qiubo on the boat secretly send it, restore the true appearance of his daughter, and it is enough to turn all beings upside down and make men in the world bend their waists for it.
The two walked all the way, performing on the opposite strings, and they were already very familiar with each other, but seeing this woman's beautiful face still made the man a little dazed, and he refused to take his eyes away.
The woman didn't notice this, but wore sheepskin boots and walked over briskly, "David, what are you thinking, why are you frozen?" ”
The man named David Li was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly covered up his smile and said, "No...... It's nothing, Leng He, I'm just thinking, your performance is so good. If you don't know the details, you won't be able to find out that you are a reverse string. ”
"Oh? David, are you saying I'm neither male nor female? I'm angry. Chen Lenghe, who was just twenty years old, was still childish, and turned around playfully, as if he was really angry.
David quickly explained, "No...... I don't mean that, I mean that you are very emotional, your voice is very powerful, and this kind of power, even men may not be able to have, as a woman, it is even more rare. Absolutely no offense. ”
"Heh, look at your urgency, I'm just joking with you." Chen Lenghe turned around with a mischievous smile on his face, which made David shake his head helplessly. Chen Lenghe said: "This is not my performance, but the credit of the author. This paragraph turned back sharply, and the words written were powerful, like an iron horse prominent, and the sword was sonorous, and when anyone recited, they would be infected by the emotions of martyr Chen Tianhua, and unconsciously, let themselves be involved in it. Besides, I don't think that women's emotions will be weaker than men's, what men can do, women can do, even if it is Ge Ming and change, these major events for the country and the people, women can also serve as the main force. Even if you can't charge into battle and fight with white knives, you can lose to the front line and take care of the wounded, in short, Ge Ming can't leave female compatriots behind. ”
David Lee has learned that Chen Lenghe is a staunch supporter of equal rights for men and women, and has written articles in Albion to support women's right to enjoy equal jobs, benefits, and elections with men. Naturally, she would not go against her intentions, and echoed:
"That's right, Mr. Dixiang, in fact, has always supported equal rights for men and women and worked together to save the Chinese nation. In this business, there is only a difference between men and women, but there is no difference between high and low. ”
Chen Lenghe nodded and said: "When Mr. Sun was in trouble in London, I also wanted to visit him, but unfortunately it didn't work, if you have the opportunity, you must take me to meet him." I have long heard of Mr. Sun's name, compared to the road of improvement proposed by Kang Zuyi, Liang Rengong and others, Mr. Sun's path of Ge Ming is the right way. It can be seen from the Imperial Cabinet that the bannermen have no desire for reform at all and will not hand over their power. If you want to save this country, you can only overthrow this court and take back power through an armed Ge Ming. ”
David Li nodded and said, "I very much agree with you. Compared with the fierce head you just recited, I am more deeply touched by another passage of martyr Chen Tianhua: "Wake up! Wake up! Wake up! Wake up! Don't sleep like a dead man. …… I will be able to build a very complete country, across the five continents, I dare to wish my compatriots: Long live the Han race! Long live China! ”
"That's right, we just want to spread this kind of thinking to every compatriot, so that everyone can wake up, fight, attack, so that these foreigners can no longer enslave us, and they can no longer be bullied by foreigners. When I return to China this time, I must persuade my father to let him come up with the money to support Ge Ming, instead of building a villa and a good hall. Only Ge Ming can save China and the Chinese nation. This is a major matter about the life and death of the nation and the country, and none of us can stay out of it. ”
The two walked while talking, and they had already arrived outside David Li's room. He originally lived in a second-class cabin, but after meeting Chen Lenghe on the ship, Chen Lenghe paid the captain an upgrade fee and referred him to the dining room. The two entered the room, and David Li took out a porcelain plate with a silver lid on it, "Guess what's inside." ”
"No, I'll just ...... Hard grab! Chen Lenghe was very agile, rushed up, lifted the lid on it, and then laughed, "Spring rolls!" David, you are wonderful, where did you get the spring rolls on this Albion ship? What's stuffing? ”
Seeing that she was very imageless and eating, David smiled and handed over the handkerchief, "The secretary on the ship is our Songjiang Datong, and the taste of his hometown is made by himself." As soon as I talked to him about nostalgia, he gave me some of it, and he cheapened you slanderous cat. What else do you want to eat, I get along well with him and can let him do it. ”
Although the two did not make a clear statement, they had already identified the identity of each other's lovers, and Chen Lenghe did not shy away from eating in front of him. After eating a few spring rolls, she smiled and said:
"The flavor of the bean paste is very good, it is an authentic old Matsue taste. I'm never reserved in front of good food, so I can't eat it. I want to eat it now...... Dexing Pavilion's sauce fried cherries, Lao Zhengxing's spring bamboo shoots ham Sichuan lees, Lao Heji oil-drenched pigeon, Nanxiang xiaolongbao...... Anyway, there are too many good things, and now I want to fly back to Songjiang to eat them in one step. ”
Seeing David Li smiling at himself, Chen Lenghe was also a little embarrassed, "David, thank you very much, this journey is because of you, our civilized opera performance can be so smooth." That ......" she stopped, her jade face slightly red, "After returning to Songjiang, can you come to my house?" I would like to formally introduce you to Dad. ”
This is what it means to see parents, David Li smiled awkwardly, "I...... Of course I would like to, but you know, my dad just runs a very ordinary textile factory, compared to Boss Chen......"
Chen Lenghe shook his head and said: "David, you disappoint me too much when you say this, you are also studying in Albiang, why do you have such a feudal and decadent concept of the family?" When we fall in love, it is a fair and honest thing, and we don't have to feel shy or invisible. In the same way, the love between the two of us is a matter between the two of us, and has nothing to do with the third person. You are asked to meet my parents because they are the closest people to me, and they should know who I am in love with, not report to them. This does not mean that they can interfere with us, love is a very sacred thing, and it should not be affected by family, money, or status. Men can choose their wives, women can choose their husbands, and this is the new world we should build. Besides, I asked you to see my father, in addition to this reason, I also want you to help me and promote progressive ideas to him, after all, he is too traditional and old-fashioned, and he has a bad opinion of the Ge Ming Party. ”
Li Dawei naturally couldn't explain at this time that he had just joined the Xingzhong Society, and he was still far from the backbone, and as for Leng He's idol Sun Dixiang, he only knew the other party by himself, and the other party did not know himself. I had to deal with "certainly, promote Ge Ming, I have no shirk responsibility." If Boss Chen can be generous, our career will be more promising. After Ge Ming succeeds, Mr. Sun will not forget Boss Chen's contribution and will definitely compensate for it. ”
Chen Lenghe shook his head and said: "Don't talk about compensation, the people with lofty ideals shed blood and sacrificed for the country, we just donated a little money to help food and arms, this is what should be done, how can we compensate." If our country remains strong, it will only be slaughtered by others. Just like the Albiang stock turmoil this time, foreigners blatantly cheated, broke financial rules, took advantage of the lag in news, caused China's economy to suffer huge losses, and passed on the financial turmoil of Tessie to China. If our country was strong, all this would not have happened. ”
David Li was also worried about whether his father's textile factory would survive the storm, but the information on the ship was inconvenient, so there was no way to get in touch. can only envelop Chen Lenghe, with this relationship, it is always more convenient to take a loan from the Chen family.
He moved forward and shouted, "Leng He, I'm ......"
Chen Lenghe had already thought of something, and jumped up violently, "I'm going back to the cabin, this Albiang stock turmoil is a good negative teaching material." I studied economics in Albion for so many years to save the country. I will now sort out the gains and losses and lessons of this stock turmoil to prepare for the future development of the bank, and maybe what I write in the future will become a reference book for domestic finance students. ”
"You're still thinking about setting up a women's bank? This...... I'm afraid it's very difficult in the current gold country. ”
"Yes, that's why Ge Ming is needed, and when Ge Ming succeeds and men and women have equal rights, a women's bank with women as general managers can be established in Jinguo. I need to be ready now to avoid getting scrambling. You're busy first, I'll go back to writing, by the way, thank you for the spring rolls. ”
In the corridor, there was a sound of brisk footsteps, and David Li shook his head with a wry smile, and the plan to make love with her was in vain again. Although this Chen Lenghe is not as indifferent to himself as his name, and he is also very lively and active by nature, he is not. Even after the relationship between lovers is confirmed, they are not allowed to kiss Kazawa. Over the years, Albion has studied abroad, although she has developed a sense of equal rights between men and women, but it has not allowed her to develop the habit of openness, which is difficult to get started.
Lying on the soft bed and looking up at the roof, Li David secretly thought in his heart that after arriving in Songjiang, he should discuss with his father what method he could use to promote this marriage. As long as the marriage is completed, the textile factory of his family can obtain financial support and develop and grow. Then take this opportunity to train an armed force in the name of training the factory protection team, and when Ge Ming starts, seize the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau, and rely on the weapons there as the foundation for making a fortune, or he can also open a government and do a big business.
He was thinking about his life plan, and he couldn't help but show a smile on his face, the beauty is favored, this is a good sign, and he should be lucky.
When the boat finally arrived at the Songjiang wharf, Chen Lenghe dragged a heavy suitcase and looked around the wharf for a long time, but he didn't see his own servant, so he couldn't help but stomp his feet and said coquettishly: "Where have all the people gone?" Really, it's too unreasonable not to pick me up. ”
"Maybe they're too busy, you see, my family didn't come either." Li David comforted and accompanied Chen Lenghe to Albiang, and her aunt, who took care of her diet and daily life, came over and helped her carry the box. and deliberately used his body to separate David Li from his own miss, "Miss, let's go home first, let the master scold them, and they must be lazy again." ”
David Li stepped forward and said: "Let me help you, when I was studying in Albiang, I walked for two hours by myself, and this little road was difficult for me." ”
"Mr. Li, don't bother, I'll do it. Everyone got off the boat and went their own way. Gao's mother didn't have much affection for this half-poor guy, like a hen guarding her cubs, hindering him from getting close to her own young lady.
The two dragged their luggage off the boat, and the coolies on the dock were no less than ten times more than in the past, and as soon as they got off the boat, a group of people surrounded them, startling the two of them. At this time, an old man came in panting from the crowd and apologized when they met, "Third Miss, I'm sorry, I'm too old to squeeze them, so I'm only here now." ”
When Chen Lenghe saw the housekeeper of his family, he was slightly relieved, "Uncle Zhong, you are so old, why do you still come by yourself, Ah Fu, Ah Bao, they know how to be lazy when they are young, and they are not like words." ”
"This ...... Let's go home first, and then we'll talk about anything. I've hailed a taxi and I'll be right over. He reported his name, and the coolies at the dock did not dare to harass him, so they all hid to the side, and a few people took the initiative to come over and help Chen Lenghe carry his luggage. Chen Lenghe looked at David Li again, "Uncle Zhong, this person is my friend, you can also help him call a car." ”
"No need, I can go by myself, you go home first, I'll go back and visit." David Li picked up his suitcase with a gentlemanly demeanor and walked out of the dock, while Chen Lenghe and Gao's mother followed the housekeeper out of the dock. Sitting in the foreign car, she looked around, "Huh? Uncle Zhong, why didn't my father come to pick me up, no matter how busy he is with work, there should always be time to pick me up, right? ”
"Sir...... The old man has something to do, he can't leave, and he will see him when he gets home. ”
"Oh, what, is Matsue in trouble? Why are there so many porridge sheds on the road? Zhao Guanhou, the governor of Shandong, gave relief...... It's inexplicable why this governor of Shandong came to Songjiang to give relief. Where is the place where our family gives relief, take me to see, I want to see if the porridge they put is thicker than the porridge of the government, and the government has always been unable to eat enough porridge. ”
"Miss...... Let's go home first, the lord and the lady are waiting for you, there is something urgent to discuss. ”
Although Chen Lenghe was very dissatisfied with the housekeeper's attitude, the old manager was old and virtuous, and she was not easy to reprimand, so she had to follow the car all the way to the door of the house, but there were fewer words. When I arrived outside the villa, I saw more than a dozen Chinese patrolling with guns standing outside the villa. On the door, there was a big red happy word, and when she got out of the car, she saw a man in his fifties coming out of the door, turning back as he walked: "This matter is so decided, we will do a happy event in the next two days, the location is in the mansion, I want to ask for a cup of happy wine to drink."
