"Drive, drive, drive."
Wu Sinan sat on a foal in a bright riding suit, waving a small whip, and snorting to the foal in a milky voice, looking very spirited.
Situ Nan held the reins and looked back from time to time to look at his little red-faced son, who was crazy for fear that he would accidentally fall.
"Okay, Brother Pony is tired and needs to rest, you have to take care of it, you know?" Situ Nan put Wu Sinan down and took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from his little face.
Wu Sinan nodded, stroked the horse's head with a look of regret, hugged the foal and made each other affectionate, and the little face was licked by the little white horse and giggled.
Tong Guò is a little white horse, and the relationship between father and son is a lot closer. The foal was specially brought back from Africa by Situ Nan as a gift to his son, and he named it "Little Pony".
"The child is still young, don't be too spoiled, what if you accidentally fall down?"
Wu Manli looked at Situ Nan with some reproach, her son was her lifeline, and she was heartbroken when she was missing a single hair.
"My son isn't that vulnerable, don't be too him. This boy is so lonely, you see, just a foal is so happy. ”
Situ Nan smiled, held Wu Manli's hand, and enjoyed the rare joy of family, under Wu Manli's strict control, Wu Sinan did not develop a brutal temper, but his temperament was a little silent.
"You're always right, and I'm always the one to do the wicked. I'm a father and a mother, and I can't be gentle like gentleness. ”
Wu Manli looked at Situ Nan with some grievances, she usually manages a lot of things, and she really can't take care of her son gently like an ordinary mother, but she doesn't regret her original decision, it's worth it.
"Why don't you find a child daughter-in-law to help you?" Situ Nan smiled evilly, hiding the guilt in his heart, thinking that his son needed playmates, and always being locked up at home was not conducive to his growth.
After thinking for a while, he said, "We have few children, why don't we adopt a few orphans?" I can accompany him. "Situ Nan doesn't want his son" was born in the deep palace. longer than a woman's hand".
"Makes sense, listen to you."
Wu Manli smiled sweetly, thinking: Her son is going to do great things, and he wants to inherit the Situ Mansion in Nanhua. She cares more about her son's future plans than anything else.
After He Xiangu became pregnant, she lived in the Situ Mansion with Situ Nan in a grand manner, which made Wu Manli feel threatened, even though she had already expected this outcome.
Recruiting orphans and cultivating future helpers for Wu Sinan are all part of Wu Manli's plan. Even if Situ Nan doesn't mention it. She'll do it too.
Poor Wu Sinan was still laughing and having fun, but she didn't know that her parents were designing his future on the sidelines. Situ Nan saw this very openly, and did not intend to interfere in the future of his children, but he did not oppose Wu Manli's approach.
A few days later, a father and daughter came to the house, the man was in his forties, dressed in a modest suit. She looks delicate, and speaks a non-standard Nanhua version of Mandarin.
The South Chinese version of Mandarin is closer to Cantonese, on this result. As the initiator, Situ Nan was a little funny, feeling relatively light, but was welcomed by most of the Cantonese immigrants in South China, and the literati of the two Cantonese were highly respected, in their words, the Cantonese language was transmitted from the Central Plains of the Han Dynasty, and was a treasure of Chinese culture, after the "fall" of the Central Plains, the birthplace of Han culture, the ancient Han culture gradually declined. It is a great thing to carry forward in Nanyang now.
When Liang Qichao visited Wèn Nanhua last year, he talked about this matter, criticizing Nanhua's simplified Chinese characters and praising the Nanhua version of Mandarin.
The so-called arguments are all bullshit to Situ Nan, in his opinion. None of the 100 top literary masters can compare to the 10,000 industrial workers with ordinary Chinese proficiency.
Listening to the awkward Nanhua version of Mandarin spoken by that strange man, Situ Nan felt a little proud in his heart, which showed that the reform of Nanhua's language and writing was fruitful, and it was rapidly popularizing among ordinary people, and the overall quality of Nanyang Chinese was gradually improving.
"This is my husband Situ Nan, this is Mr. Nguyen Youyou and his daughter Nguyen Huu Lan...... Wu Manli introduced.
Nguyen Youyou, Nguyen Huu Lan? The names of this father and daughter are a bit special.
Situ Nan looked at the man in front of him, judging from his appearance, the Mr. Ruan in front of him should be Chinese, similar to the Nyonya in Nanyang, with foreign characteristics. And the surname Ruan is more common in Annam, and he casually asked, "Mr. Ruan is from Annam?" ”
"Yes. After my grandfather failed to join the Taiping Army, he retreated to Annam, and he took root in Annam. However, I have always dreamed of returning to my homeland, but the shape of my motherland is not good?????? This time I came to Nanhua to see if there was a suitable opportunity, and I hope Mr. Situ will take care of him. ”
Ruan Youyou smiled kindly. In fact, he didn't know Situ Nan, but he heard that the owner of Situ Mansion was very mysterious and powerful, and relatively speaking, Wu Manli's identity was more important to Ruan Youyou.
"I can't talk about it, Mr. Ruan is polite."
Situ Nan also saw the politeness of this Mr. Ruan, and thought to himself that Ruan Youyi should be an Annan Chinese capitalist supported by the South China Intelligence Department! After all, ordinary people Wu Manli would not let him appear at home.
Realizing that Wu Manli had something to talk to Ruan Youyou, Situ Nan sat for a while and went to play with his son, and there was also that Miss Ruan, who was good-looking and beautiful, was a good little Lori, who looked smart and well-behaved, ** years old, and gradually became sensible. The Nguyen child told Situ Nan that her father was going to send her to school at the church in Nanhua.
After there were two people left in the room, Ruan Youyou's attitude became more respectful, and he looked at Wu Manli with a sincere face: "Minister Wu, do you look at the railway...... The investment is not in my charge, I will help you inquire, and I will inform you when there is news. Wu Manli said with a smile.
This Nguyen Youyou estimated that he heard from the French that the South China Consortium was going to invest in the Southwest Railway with Crédit Agricole CIB, and it was like participating in it.
The railroad was a big deal, and when Situ Nan was in Paris, he had reached an agreement with the Bank of France to build a railway from Guangxi to French Annam.
The South China Intelligence Department took this matter very seriously, ostensibly as a cooperation between the American-Chinese Bank and the Crédit Bank, but the intelligence department's involvement was not low at all.
Nguyen Youyou is the agent of the South China Intelligence Department, and he has done well in French Annam, which is not enough to qualify him to participate in this national event, but Wu Manli does not mind giving Nguyen Youyou a little benefit.
"Tomorrow there is a ceremony to celebrate the completion of the Java Island Northern Railway, Mr. Nguyen come along!" Wu Manli reminded.
"Definitely, definitely." Ruan Youyou's heart was overjoyed when he heard it, and he felt that there was a play.
The Java Railway is a landmark project in South China, and it borrowed heavily as soon as it was founded. Huge sums of money were invested in the construction of the Java Railway, and in order to speed up the progress, the army engineers were also involved in the construction, which shows that the elites in South China attach great importance to this railway.
Tomorrow's celebration is sure to be a grand event for the upper class of South China, and it is a rare opportunity for Nguyen Youyou, who is in dire need of expanding his contacts in South China. He had already received the invitation letter, but Wu Manli's invitation was even more distinctive, which made Ruan Youyou secretly grateful in his heart.
Ruan Youyou went back satisfied, I don't know what Wu Manli told him, but that Ruan Youlan little Lori stayed in Situ Mansion and faintly became Wu Sinan's playmate.
"Sister Youlan, let's go see Brother Xiaoma! It's beautiful. Wu Sinan deliberately showed off his "toys". Ruan Youlan, who was restrained, ran to the stable.
The little girl was playful and walked away after Wu Sinan, not knowing that his father seemed to have sent her to the Situ Mansion.
"Slow down!" Situ Nan didn't forget to tell in the back.
"This child bride is good, isn't it?" Wu Manli stood in front of Situ Nan and looked at Situ Nan with some pride.
"What did you say?"
Situ Nan squirted out coconut juice with a puff, and looked at Wu Manli with a surprised expression, "This age difference is too big, right?" ”
"Youlan, this kid is sensible and well-behaved, and he is beautiful, what's wrong with that? I'm getting busier and busier at work. There is a sister who looks at Sinan and can solve a lot of trouble. ”
Wu Manli said with a smile, her slender and white fingers gently plucked the grass clippings on Situ Nan's clothes, and she was playing with the child just now. Situ Nan's clothes were dirty.
"Well, you just get a babysitter who doesn't cost anything. Don't think too much about it, let's talk about it later! Maybe in the future, when the child is older, we won't be allowed to help him decide. ”
Situ Nan smiled and shook his head, he had said it so casually before, but he didn't expect Wu Manli to take it seriously. Secretly envious of that kid's good life, his mother helped him find such a good maid and nanny, I hope I don't want to raise a gentleman.
The mouth that eats people is soft, and the hands that take people are soft. The Ruan family sent such a precious ring. Naturally, there are a lot of benefits. Soon after Nguyen Youyou left, Wu Manli mentioned to Situ Nam that Nguyen Youyi was involved in the Southwest Railway.
From Wu Manli's mouth, Situ Nan knew the origin of this Ruan friend. Ruan Youyou's family is poor, and the reason why that guy is where he is today is mainly by marrying the only daughter of Li Fa, a wealthy businessman in Annan, as his wife, and he has struggled for a few lifetimes at once.
"This guy is so close to the French. Isn't it reliable? Situ Nan frowned, in his impression, the Vietnamese were not so reliable.
"It's ok. That guy has no bad deeds, and he is not dead set on the French. Now the Governor of Saigon is very interested in his family property, and I think I can win it over. ”
Wu Manli affirmed.
"Alright! I'll look for a chance to talk to him. Situ Nan nodded, following Wu Manli's wishes.
After talking about business, Wu Manli's delicate body was completely lying in Situ Nan's arms unconsciously, and through the thin silk, Situ Nan completely felt the heat on his body.
Among the girls, Wu Manli gave Situ Nan the most coquettish feeling, a kind of greed, and she swore not to give up if she didn't squeeze Situ Nan dry.
The two of them were like a horse, **, like the scorching sun burning outside??????
When I woke up, it was already sunset, and the tall coconut trees were swaying in the evening breeze, which made people feel refreshed. The touching Ruan Xiao Lori felt lonely in this new home, and she smiled a little.
"Sister, are you crying?" Wu Sinan quietly climbed onto Ruan Youlan's bed, held her cheeks, and sighed helplessly, "Loneliness is the natural enemy of human beings, everyone has to endure loneliness, but that is occasionally a kind of beauty." ”
"What do you know, little brat?" Ruan Youlan pretended to be mature Wu Sinan a little angrily, and asked casually, "Who said this?" ”
"My dad!"
"Your dad?"
"Hmm. That guy doesn't show up all year round, and every time it's just those toys that please me??????" RQ
