"Did you get a name?" Zhang Youyi asked Song ML.

"I took it, the small name is Xiaobao, and the big name is Song Qingfeng. Originally, I planned to take Song Qingshu, but he disagreed, saying that the name Song Qingshu was not good, so he changed it to Song Qingfeng. Song ML said.

Let his son follow his mother's surname, ordinary people can't pass the threshold in their hearts, so Situ Nan is willing to do it. And there has long been a convention, Wu Manli's son is called Wu Sinan, and he does not have the surname Situ Nan.

Seeing that Zhang Youyi was a little puzzled, Song ML smiled and explained: "He can see who the child's surname is, Wu Manli and He Xiangu's children don't have his surname or mother's surname, and Qingfeng is no exception. ”

Originally, Song ML didn't care about the child's surname at first, but then he cared a lot, and felt that he had made up for it a lot. This move also won the favor of Mrs. Song and the Song family, and the old lady and the second sister Song QL have already lived in Meilu and helped take care of Song ML's mother and son together.

The one who touched the most was Song Ziwen, who ran home a lot these days, while looking at his nephew, and talking to Song ML about the shares of the American-Chinese Bank managed by Song ML.

However, Song ML has not yet figured out how to negotiate this stake with Song Ziwen.

What is certain is that the shares of Meihua Bank will not fall into the hands of the Song family, but can only be inherited by the descendants of Song ML. If something happens to the heirs, the shares will be donated directly to the US-China Foundation.

Before Situ Nan returned to the United States, he had already divided the shares of the American-Chinese Bank under his name, and Wu Manli, He Xiangu, and Song ML could all get 10% of the shares of the American-Chinese Bank in escrow, and held this huge asset on their behalf and Situ Nan's descendants.

Although the three women's safes all had agreements signed by Situ Nan himself, they all coincidentally entrusted the shares to the Meihua Foundation to take care of. will not directly intervene in the affairs of the Bank of America.

Meantime. Song ML and Wu Manli themselves were high-ranking officials in Wuhan and New Tangshan. Their positions are closely related to the Bank of America and China, which is enough to ensure their influence within the Zhi Gong Party and the government.

Zhang Youyi didn't know that the little baby in front of her was actually linked to the fate of the country and the nation, except for Song Ziwen, the rest of the Song family didn't know about the transaction behind the scenes, but it didn't prevent them from liking this little baby that Situ Nan pinned his hopes on.

Zhang Youyi taught Song ML parenting experience, Song ML learned seriously, and the relationship between the two women suddenly pulled in a lot, and they almost became best friends who had nothing to say.

Song ML has little talent in parenting. There is no opportunity to brush up on experience in the "novice village", but the old lady of the Song family and her sister Song QL have become the main force in taking care of the baby, and Song ML, who has been immersed in happiness and excitement, has to devote part of his energy to deal with outside affairs.

Song family, only Song Ziwen, Sheng Aiyi, and Song QL were at home on this day, and the eldest sister Song Ailing, Mrs. Song, Song Zi'an, and Song Ziliang all stayed in Meilu and did not come back.

Talking about the excitement over there in Meilu, Sheng Aiyi said: "The third sister has become a great hero of the Song family this time, and the old lady and brothers and sisters are much more active than when I gave birth to a child." ”

Song Ziwen was silent, Song QL felt funny when he heard the vinegar taste in his sister-in-law's mouth, and took Sheng Aiyi's hand: "You, don't be so aggrieved." Which of your brothers and sisters in the family does not respect you and love you? Ziwen hurts you, and he hasn't said a word about you. Isn't it? Don't eat the vinegar of the third sister! You know what's going on on her side. ”

Sheng Aiyi was a little embarrassed, and also felt a little stingy, and said: "How lively the house is on weekdays, but now it is deserted, Ziwen is often not at home, I am a little unaccustomed." ”

"After a while, when the freshness is over, won't the house be lively? I'm afraid I'll have a headache. Song Ziwen smiled and comforted. I don't think much of my wife's little vinegar.

There are many women in the family, and it is inevitable that the concubines will not look good, the eldest sister and the second sister are generous people, and they have a good temper, and everyone respects them, but the relationship between Song ML and Sheng Aiyi is relatively cold.

Sheng Aiyi was born in the Sheng family, can be inside and out, has her own opinions, and has a tough temperament, Song ML is even better, two proud women meet together, it is inevitable that they will not like each other.

Sheng Aiyi thinks that Song ML is pretentious and domineering, and secretly looks down on Song ML as someone else's lover and has children out of wedlock. Song ML felt that the sister-in-law didn't know what to do, and helped her mother's family do those things that couldn't be put on the table under the banner of the Song family, and those brothers of the Sheng family could only eat, drink and have fun, and they were all involved in pornography, gambling and drugs.

However, they didn't know how to restrain themselves, and as soon as something happened, Sheng Aiyi came forward to fish for people and ruin the reputation of the Song family.

Last time, Sheng Aiyi's brother was used as a pretext to smuggle big cigarettes, and was arrested and imprisoned by the tax police team.

Song Ziwen was caught in the middle, in a dilemma. At the insistence of Song ML, the government severely punished smuggling and shot more than a dozen opium merchants with serious circumstances. Sheng Aiyi's brother almost ate a bullet and stayed in prison for several months before being quietly bailed out by Song Ziwen.

Sheng Aiyi has been holding a grudge against Song ML since then, and she is jealous of Song ML, and only after this incident did she know that Song ML is not a vase of the Song family, and her power is not inferior to her brother Song Ziwen.

And Song ML's power comes more or less from Situ Nan, so Sheng Aiyi didn't dare to talk about the relationship between Song ML and Situ Nan.

Therefore, Song ML tried not to come to Song Ziwen's side, and Sheng Aiyi rarely went to Meilu's side.

The Song family persuaded Song ML and Sheng Aiyi several times to no avail, so they had no choice but to admit it. Except for the two of them, everyone else has a good relationship.

But today Song QL didn't come to Song Ziwen to say something trivial, she had another purpose.

After Sheng Aiyi walked away, Song QL asked Song Ziwen: "After dragging on for so long, there should always be an explanation for things in the north, right?" ”

Song QL looked at Song Ziwen with a smile, as if to say, "What excuse are you looking for?" ”

Song ML, who had the strongest opposition attitude, is now uninterested in government duties, and the diplomatic part is in the hands of Song Ziwen, so if you don't take this opportunity to urge Song Ziwen, when will you wait?

Compared with the stubborn Song ML, Song QL thinks that Song Ziwen should be more reasonable and reasonable, and his attitude is not as tough as Song ML.

Song Ziwen had a headache, but it was still for the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the Soviet Union. The Soviets urgently needed to break the blockade of the League of Nations. The best way to do this is to establish friendship with your neighbors. The more countries we have diplomatic relations with, the better, and we will pay attention to China.

"Sister, let's take a long-term view of this matter! Although the strength and actual control of our Zhi Gong Dang government is stronger than that of Beijing, the central government is the central government, and the affairs of dealing with the Russians should be left to them. ”

Song Ziwen said perfunctorily.

"I knew you would say that, and that's what you said last time. This is clearly in the interest of both parties, so why are you hesitating? ”

Song QL said angrily and glanced at Song Ziwen. "Can't you give me a word?"

Song Ziwen was silent, because of the foreign debt and the Qing government left a large number of treaties, in China, whoever is the central government will be unlucky, the Southern Customs Union zone is still established with the tacit consent of Britain and the United States, and the establishment of diplomatic relations with the Soviet Union can certainly get some benefits, but offending Britain, France and the United States for this will outweigh the losses.

The Americans are also doing business with the Soviets, but they will not jump out to establish diplomatic relations with the Soviet Union, and I, Song Ziwen, will not have the ability to help the Russians slap the British.

The second sister was angry. It's not good to perfunctory her anymore, so he said: "Haven't our trade with Russia been interrupted?" Last week, 500 tons of rubber were sold to Vladivostok, so why should they rush to claim a name? Isn't this forcing us to turn the other cheek with the British?

The consequences of turning the other cheek with the British are very serious, the domestic industrial products have just opened the British market, the British investment in the country is second only to the United States, once the British withdraw their investment and close the market, then many domestic engineering projects will come to a halt, hundreds of enterprises will go bankrupt, such a big loss can the Russians compensate?

The attitude of the Nanhua side also depends on the consideration that once the British make trouble in Nanyang, then the national security of Nanhua will be threatened, and the millions of disaster victims in China will not be able to go to Nanyang to make a living, and they will either starve to death or make trouble in the country.

I don't want to see a peasant uprising, a mess together, maybe give people a chance to fish in troubled waters. ”

Song Ziwen is frank about the pros and cons, and there are many exaggerations.

Song QL heard it, Song Ziwen said so much, just one reason, now we are not strong enough to turn our faces with the British, and it is not worth it to turn our faces for the Russians and the British! You're so good that you're dead!

Song QL thought that the Song family started from Anglo-American relations in the early years, and now the Song family has a rich industry and has extensive contacts with the British and American economic circles and political circles. The Song family not only represents the Song family, but also represents the interests of the families who started from industry and commerce in the thirteen southern provinces.

The Zhi Gong Party is dominated by this trend of thought, under the banner of industrial salvation and industrial power, but in fact it is satisfied with economic interests and has no intention of carrying the mess of the Beiyang government, otherwise how can it explain that the troops of the Zhi Gong Party have advanced to Henan and Shandong, why can they no longer push the Beiyang government and unify the whole country by going north?

Is this because they are short-sighted and have no courage?

Song QL has such thoughts in her heart, but in recent years, the industry and commerce in the south have developed rapidly, and they have become stronger day by day, which gives her hope, which is also a fact.

"Is it possible to drag it out like this? You must know that Britain and the United States are not kind and will not make us strong easily, in contrast, the attitude of the Russians is still relatively sincere, and the prime minister also said before his death that he would unite with Russia to support the policy of peasants and workers......"

Song Ziwen listened and disagreed, the powerful factions in the Kuomintang were all co-opted by the Zhi Gong Dang government, and those powerful factions would not join forces with Russia to help the peasants and workers, their attitude was just the opposite.

You can't handle it yourself, so how can you ask someone else to do it?

Only a few idealists will continue to uphold the second brother-in-law's set, but they have no strength, and there are no people, and there are only some literati around the second sister, who can't afford to turn the wind and waves, otherwise the second sister would not have come to persuade herself to establish diplomatic relations with the Soviet Union.

Song Ziwen did not refute, the second sister has always been an idealist, and Song Ziwen maintains a respectful attitude towards those who adhere to their ideals, not to mention his relatives.

"Second sister, don't get involved in this matter, even if you convince me, the comrades in the party don't agree, I can't help it. However, everyone was willing to do business with the Russians in private, as the Americans did, provided that they did not provoke the British warships. ”

Song Ziwen advised.

failed to persuade Song Ziwen, Song QL was a little regretful, but he didn't have too much displeasure, after all, his younger brother still regarded himself as a relative and told him the truth, so it was not good to embarrass him anymore.

Looking at the white hair on Song Ziwen's sideburns, his face has aged a lot, Song QL secretly regretted that he has worked hard all these years! It is gratifying that the friendship between brothers and sisters will not turn against each other because of political differences.

Instead, he asked: "Since you are not opposed to trade with the Soviet Union, they have increased the import of goods and technologies from our country in the fields of rubber, construction machinery, medicine, etc., and they pay for them with minerals and timber, is this no problem?" ”

"Absolutely." Song Ziwen agreed, and added, "Rubber may be a little troublesome, after all, domestic factories still have to compete with factories in Nanyang for rubber resources, and at the same time meet the needs of exports to Europe and the United States, and the amount sold to Russia will definitely not be too large." I'll try my best. ”

ended the conversation with Song Ziwen, Song QL went to his brother-in-law Sheng Aiyi to make a family routine and persuade her to think more about Song Ziwen.

The Sheng family originally had an unclean butt from Sheng Xuanhuai, after Sheng Xuanhuai's death, the descendants were not angry, if you were not careful, the end would not be too good, you Sheng Aiyi could protect your brother for a while, but you couldn't protect it for a lifetime, and the Song family's friendship with the Sheng family will always be overdrawn one day.

And pointed out Song ML's status in the Song family, non-principled issues, try not to go-for-tat with Song ML.

Sheng Aiyi didn't know whether to listen to Song QL's persuasion, or to save face, so she decided to repair the relationship with Song ML.

The two went to Meilu to visit Song ML together, and also brought gifts to the baby.

In the face of the kindness released by his sister-in-law, Song ML responded positively, showing his generosity, knowing that Sheng Aiyi's brother Sheng Jia's fourth child likes to run horses, Song ML specially selected four sweaty BMW horses to give to him through Sheng Aiyi, expressing a little apology for putting him in prison last time.

The horses in China's military horse farm are specially introduced by Situ Nan, who has a lot of BMWs under his name, but Situ Nan is not very keen on horse racing, so most of those BMWs fall under Song ML, who likes to ride horses.

It is also worth giving the Sheng family a few horses, giving the Sheng family face, and repairing the relationship with the sister-in-law.

Why four horses, the unlucky number of four?

Because the Sheng family is the fourth in line, they love the number 4. The first imported Mercedes-Benz car in Shanghai was bought by him, and it was specially equipped with the license plate number 4444! This guy is absolutely superb.

"Thank you ML for my brother! For him, my mother and I have a lot to worry about, he is reckless, often deceived by the villains around him, take the last time he partnered with someone to do a big tobacco business, the Sheng family is not short of money, but he can't stand the face of others, and he was poured ecstasy soup to do foolish things. ”

Sheng Aiyi sighed sincerely, this is a hint to Song ML, my brother is a bad person, so don't be like him.

However, she couldn't criticize Song ML, and then said, "It's okay to let him eat prison for a while, and he will have a long memory." After coming out, his temperament has calmed down a lot, he is no longer involved in the big tobacco business, he doesn't smoke big anymore, and he is cooperating with others to open a nightclub in Shanghai, which is not bad. ”

Song ML looked at Sheng Aiyi, and saw that she said this sincerely, and there seemed to be no grudge in her tone, maybe she was covering it up too well, Sheng Aiyi said this, Song ML would not pour cold water on her, saying that the fourth child of the Sheng family has knowledge and diplomas, and he will be able to do a career in the future and carry forward the Sheng family.

The nature is difficult to change, having said that, Song ML actually doesn't believe that the fourth child of the Sheng family can get rid of his poor and extravagant desires and squander. (To be continued.) )
