Chapter 61: The Jiang Family
"You child, my mother can't say anything about you, but even foreigners who pay attention to freedom and equality are going to get married, yesterday your Uncle Shen's third son Shen Yi returned from studying in the UK, and the parents of our two families planned to meet you today and confirm your marriage." Jiang's mother was reluctant to discuss any unnecessary freedom and equality with her daughter, and after achieving the sofa in the living room on the first floor with her daughter, she led the topic to Jiang Xue's lifelong event.
Uncle Shen in Jiang's mother's mouth is the director of Shanghai Siming Office, the director of the Shanghai General Chamber of Commerce, and the registered customs Taoist Shen Dunhe, this person was born in Ningbo, Zhejiang Province like Jiang's mother's father Zhu Baosan, and studied at Cambridge University in the United Kingdom in his early years, specializing in politics and law.
Shen Dunhe initiated the establishment of the Shanghai International Red Cross Society jointly organized by China, Britain, the United States, Germany and France in the first month of the 30th year of Guangxu, and was elected as the general director of the Chinese side and the founder of the Chinese Red Cross Society.
During the Russo-Japanese War, he led the Shanghai International Red Cross Society to set up a medical team and sent it to Liaoshen to rescue the wounded and victims, and rescued hundreds of thousands of people in danger.
Like Jiang's mother's father, Zhu Baosan, Shen Dunhe is also the leader of the Ningbo Gang in Shanghai, and although the industry in his hands cannot be compared with Zhu Baosan, it is also beyond the reach of ordinary wealthy businessmen in Shanghai.
Shen Yi is the third son of Shen Dunhe and the youngest son of Shen Dunhe, who has been studying in the UK and studied at Shen Dunhe's alma mater, Cambridge University, but unlike Shen Dunhe, Shen Yi studied medicine at Cambridge University and graduated with a master's degree in medicine, so he returned to China a few years later than Jiang Xue, who studied in the UK during the same period.
In the feudal era, the power of the Chinese township party was very strong, and its main manifestation was the establishment of guild halls linked by fellow villagers in metropolises such as Beijing and Shanghai, and the most famous in Shanghai was the Siming Gongshuo.
Siming Office, also known as Ningbo Hall, is a fellow villager in Ningbo, Zhejiang Province in Jiaqing in the Qing Dynasty began to build, and in Jiaqing eight years formally completed and established Ningbo Association, its purpose is to unite Ningbo residents in Shanghai successful rich businessmen, to carry a new hometown in Shanghai a kind of friendship hall.
Zhu Baosan and Shen Dunhe are both leaders of the Ningbo Guild Hall, both in personal feelings and in business dealings, they have a deep connection, and the two families are naturally considered world friends, and Shen Yi and Jiang Xue, who are the same age, were married by very bloody fingers in this situation.
"Mother, now we all pay attention to free love, I don't want your arranged marriage, besides, that Shen Yi is a nerd in the UK, he knows how to read all day long, and his daughter must not suffocate if she marries him." Jiang Xue heard her mother mention the arranged marriage that she had hated since she was sensible, and immediately refused.
"The Shen family has a family history, and we are the right family, Shen Yi was also raised by me and your father, he has been honest and reliable since he was a child, and I don't know how many people's daughters in Shanghai want to marry such a man, how can it become a shortcoming in your mouth." Mother Jiang was a little annoyed and said.
"I want to marry you, but I won't marry anyway." Jiang Xue made up her temper and turned her back to her mother on the sofa.
"You kid, how do you speak?" Jiang Mu was really angry this time, and her tone was three points higher.
Jiang Xue saw that her mother was really angry, and realized that what she said just now was really out of proportion, so she quickly turned around and hugged her mother's arm and apologized: "Mother, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to." I just don't want to marry that Shen Yi, so you don't have to force your daughter, okay? ”
"You and Shen Yi are baby kisses that have been set since childhood, where can you be lifted casually, and besides, you don't want to marry an honest and reliable Shen Yi, do you want to marry a prodigal son with rhetoric?" Jiang's mother heard her daughter's coquettish apology, and the rising anger also subsided, so she began to count her daughter again, but when she talked about the prodigal, she suddenly thought of a phone call before, and asked a little tentatively: "Xiaoxue, you tell your mother, don't you like Sun Wei, the inspector of the public concession, right?" ”
"Ah, no, mother, don't talk nonsense." When Jiang Xue heard her mother mention Sun Wei, her face suddenly flushed, and her tone was mostly shy.
Jiang's mother is also from here, and she knew that she was tempted by Sun Wei by looking at her daughter's appearance, and said to Jiang Xue in a tough tone in anger: "Xiaoxue, we all have discussions on whether you marry Shen Yi or not, but we can't like that Sun Wei!" ”
"Why? Yes...... No, I mean......" Jiang Xue was also stunned by her subconscious inquiry, and she wanted to defend herself in a hurry but didn't know how to say it, and suddenly became at a loss.
"You also said that you don't like that Sun Wei, do you know that he Sun Wei is a married person, do you want to make him a little can't be a child, and you still don't let me and your father be people in Shanghai?" Annoyed and her daughter's lack of self-respect, what Jiang's mother said can be described as heartbreaking.
"Mother, what are you worried about, how can I be small for others." Jiang Xue argued.
"I don't care, you must promise your mother, you don't have anything to do with this Sun Wei in the future." Jiang's mother said.
"Okay~ Okay, I promise you that I will not have any dealings with this Sun Wei in the future, so that you are satisfied, can you not go to see that Shen Yi?" Jiang Xue assured.
"You kid, why are you talking about this again?" Mother Jiang was a little speechless at her daughter's leapfrog thinking, and then persuaded: "Xiaoxue, you must see this Shen Yi, otherwise your father and I will not be able to explain to your Uncle Shen, at most find time for your father to postpone the marriage in the future." ”
"Mother, this is what you say, you have to keep your word." Jiang Xue said.
Sun Wei, who had made the call, naturally didn't know what happened afterward, and he was a little bored, and he suddenly thought of the Japanese girl that Takeshi Yamashita gave him the day before yesterday, and he didn't know what her situation was now.
When Sun Wei arrived at Cuiyunxuan, it happened that Cuiyunxuan saw off the last batch of guests, and there were only a few turtles who were cleaning in the huge Cuiyunxuan, which seemed very empty.
"Boss, you're here, I'll go inform the manager." A turtle boy near the door looked up and saw Sun Wei who had just walked in, so he immediately stepped forward to say hello.
The manager in the mouth of this turtle is Wei Tong, the manager of Cuiyunxuan, and I don't know if he sees the grandiose and managerial names in other foreign banks, so he asked his subordinates to call him manager in the same caliber, which also attracted a burst of ridicule from Sun Wei's other disciples.
"No, you can just be busy, I'll just go up myself." Sun Wei stopped the Turtle Gong's courtesy and walked straight to the stairs leading to the second floor.
In the past, although Cuiyunxuan was big, it was not famous, and there were not too many girls in the Xuan, and nearly half of the houses were empty in normal times, but now Sun Wei was walking all the way in the corridor on the second floor, and every house could feel the breath of a girl living in it, no wonder Xie Xiaoshu and Wei Tong wanted to expand Cuiyunxuan.
Of course, the prosperity of Cuiyunxuan naturally benefited from the miraculous Cuiyunxuan miracle medicine that was rumored in the market.
At first, most people didn't know how to eat this medicine, and used it as an aphrodisiac, so that there were rumors that this medicine was exaggerated, but under the personal demonstration of the girl Cuiyunxuan, most people understood the use of this medicine, so under the eyes and ears, Cuiyunxuan's magic medicine has been fried from ten taels of silver priced by Cuiyunxuan to nearly a hundred taels, and it is so that those giants who disdain to come to Cuiyunxuan to line up are still flocking to it.
A few days ago, when Sun Wei came to Cuiyunxuan to check the business situation, he chose a private room in the back in order to be clean, and since then, this house has been used as a place for Miko Yamashita to settle temporarily.
"Ah, boss, you're here." When Sun Wei walked to the door of Yamashita Miko's room, he happened to meet the maid who was waiting for her coming out of it with a basin, and saluted with a little surprise after seeing Sun Wei.
"Well, is Miko-sama up?" Sun Wei replied and asked.
"I've gotten up, just washed up, and the little maid is about to go and pour out the washing water." The maid replied.
"Okay, there you go." Sun Wei turned sideways slightly, let the maid walk by, and then said to Ah Hua and Ah Jian, who were following behind: "I'll go inside to see the situation, you two don't have to follow me, go down and rest for a while." ”
"Yes, boss." The two have been by Sun Wei's side for a long time, and they have also learned to observe words and feelings, so they naturally know that they should not disturb the boss's Yaxing at this time.
After Sun Wei saw his two bodyguards leave, he gently pushed open the door of the private room, but he didn't see Miko Yamashita outside the private room.
"Xiaohuan, didn't you go to buy breakfast, why did you come back so soon?" When Sun Wei walked into the private room, Miko Yamashita suddenly heard the voice of Miko Yamashita asking in the private room.
Hearing Miko Yamashita's inquiry, Sun Wei suddenly had a sense of déjà vu, this is obviously the bridge section where the flower thief entered the boudoir of a large family in the film and television in the previous life, according to the development of the plot of the bridge, the young lady will definitely ask loudly "Who are you" when she finds that a thief has sneaked in, and then the flower thief is laughing and saying "Beauty, it's useless for you to cut your throat".
"Ahem, it's me." Sun Wei responded a little embarrassed.
"Master, why are you here? Oops...... "The young lady in the room did not ask in horror as in the film, but seemed very happy, but in her eagerness, she pulled the wounds on her body.
