Chapter 290: A Thousand Miles to Meet
On the morning of January 2, 165o, after Wang Zuxian, the young lady of the Wang family, got up, her heart was quite uneasy.
She has been in Taiwan for many days and has never felt like this.
This is not the desperation when I first learned about the marriage agreement, nor the helpless resignation later, nor the nameless panic when I first arrived in Taiwan.
It's weird, as if it's going to give birth to something, and my heart is beating so hard -- there's a vague anticipation.
She had breakfast, took the two little maids, Chunmei and Qiu Ju, and went out with a flower hoe -- at the door, after the young lady of the Wang family and the two little maids had leveled a piece of land, they dug up some wild flowers from the wild and planted them -- they had been blooming all the time, and since yesterday the wild flowers have not only not decayed, but have bloomed more brilliantly--Chun Mei and Qiu Ju said in private that there must be happy events--Miss Wang's breast name is Xiaohong, and it is said that when she was in her infancy, she saw the red object and was inexplicably happy-
Miss Wang began to play with these unknown wildflowers, and her mood gradually calmed down. During the play, she parted the green gauze on her head and looked around, nothing new appeared, it was still a normal morning, and the distant mountains were lightly shrouded in some mist-
It is said that when she first came to Taiwan, she lived in the so-called Rerancha Hotel, and her life was very convenient, and she solved everything without leaving home - but she always felt a little panicked.
For several days, she hid behind the curtains in the window and peeked out.
The various people here were dressed strangely, but they were calm and natural, and occasionally one or two walked by with a satisfied smile, and for some reason, in short, much better than the people she had seen in Xiamen—which reassured her that there was nothing to be feared in a place controlled by pirates.
What the third uncle of the Zheng family said may not be false.
So the fear in her mood subsided, and she began to settle down.
She immediately realized that there was a great inconvenience in this house, that is, as soon as she entered the door, everyone in the house was looked at one by one. For example, the waiter who knocks on the door every day, although he cleans carefully, also looks at all the private things, which is inappropriate, even if it is a mother-in-law.
The maid who accompanied the marriage found the third uncle of the Zheng family and expressed the worries of Miss Wang - the third uncle of the Zheng family agreed with a smile, and replied, easy to say, easy to say, Miss Wang has this idea, then her heart is stable, this idea is very good!
Within two days, the third uncle of the Zheng family sent green gauze screens - after they were placed one by one, Miss Wang was even more determined, took out her pen and ink, and devoted herself to writing poems - the waiter here had instructed that there should be no open fire in this room, otherwise she would have burned incense and played the piano long ago - but why should there be no open flame? Presumably it was the strangeness of this place, and it was left to them for the time being, and it was not worth asking in detail.
The two maids she brought with her often frowned at each other and secretly talked about the young lady—they had long known the young lady's sexuality.
Since this young lady of the Wang family heard about the marriage contract, her temperament has changed greatly, she does not go out of the door, she does not step out of the second door, and only the two maids are also harmed, and she no longer secretly goes out as she used to - it is really sullen.
It is said that the third uncle of the Zheng family also takes care of him, as long as he is here, someone will come to ask for requests every morning - at this time, it is the time when the two maids are chattering happily, and the two of them are happy with the boy of the third uncle of the Zheng family.
On that day, the boy came again in the morning as scheduled, and the three of them began to chirp again, and Miss Wang was disturbed for a moment when she heard it, so she whispered behind the screen: "Why don't you bring my father's telegram quickly?" See that I don't enforce family law on you—"
The little boy didn't know where he was, he shrank his neck, and he was speechless, and Miss Wang was angry and ran away.
The two maids raised their eyebrows and looked at each other, smiled secretly, hurriedly straightened their expressions, lowered their eyebrows and turned to the back of the screen, and carefully presented the telegram in their hands.
Miss Wang suddenly smiled, and her father sent another telegram—presumably as anxious as I was—and she hurriedly began to watch.
Daddy's words immediately sounded in the ears of Miss Wang:
"Zu Xian, my son, one qiē is fine. The family is peaceful, don't miss it. Last night, the old man suddenly had a dream, and saw that the flowers were in full bloom, and my son was smiling in the flowers, and I expected that my son's ending would be wonderful. Three days ago, you sent a telegram asking for something, and it must have been delivered to ...... in the near future."
Miss Wang carefully read the telegram twice before folding it and putting it into her gilded dressing dress, which contained all the telegrams of her father.
Outside the screen, the two little maids heard the sound of Miss Wang putting on the dresser, and knew that Miss Wang must be in a good mood after reading the telegram.
Both of them turned the screen with a smile, and said with a smile: "Miss, there is a great happy event, the third master of the Zheng family said that the Xiangshan villa has been repaired now, and everything in it is not worse than here, and it is much bigger, I will wait to find it, I can move there in the next few days, and the third master of the Zheng family has found seven or eight people from Xiamen, three or four mothers-in-law, plus the manpower sent by the master of my family, if the big villa must be as it should be......"
Miss Wang pondered for a while and said, "Then how busy has the third uncle of the Zheng family been lately?" I saw him coming in and out...... Swift as the wind......"
"So that the young lady knows, Yongsheng Bo is victorious...... I heard that the Zheng family army was in that Tong'an land, and they broke the Tartars and gained countless ......"
"Tong'an and Quanzhou, where is the army of 10,000 people? On such a day, Hugh will have to talk about the blood of the soldiers again! ”
The two maids immediately closed their mouths, but at the same time pouted in their hearts.
Miss, haven't you ever danced a sword in the past? Don't you want to hear about the confrontation between the two armies? Ever since I knew that there was this covenant...... I didn't talk about dancing all day long, and I didn't even go out of the gate......
Miss Wang felt that her words might be a little heavier...... He deliberately said, "Who should deliver the telegram today, and who should go to the market of Geranza to shop?" ”
"I'll go shopping, Chunmei will go to the queue to deliver the telegram!"
"No, it's time for me to go shopping, Qiu Ju will go to the queue to deliver the telegram!"
The two immediately quarreled, chattering endlessly. Seeing this, Miss Wang smiled slightly, ignoring the two of them, knowing that the two of them would not be able to finish talking without half an hour.
Miss Wang began to think about how to reply to her father's telegram.
After the Zheng family boldly asked the Xiamen Commercial Station to provide radio station services for the Zheng family, Li Zheng of the Xiamen Commercial Station simply mentioned that this business should also be opened to the people of Xiamen, and when the relevant report reached the Hantang Group, the Hantang Group believed that this move was conducive to promoting cross-strait commercial exchanges, and there was no wear and tear on the radio station equipment, so it agreed to the request of the Xiamen Commercial Station, and asked them to set the price according to the actual situation, and then consider the redistribution of profits.
Li Zheng privately discussed with Commissioner Ma Dehua of the Gelanza Customs, and set the price of one word and one horse ticket, or the same silver taels.
His assistant He Yang said in surprise: "I said little brother, you are too expensive......
Li Zheng rolled his eyes and said, "It's not expensive at all." If it's too cheap, damn me, if they're all hydrology, can you stand it? My parents were both high school Chinese teachers in that world, and the letters I wrote to me when I was in college were about 5,000 words...... I have a headache when I see it. ”
He Yang said: "Okay, I don't think anyone dares to telegraph...... I'm going to wipe the solar panels. ”
He Yang was wrong, there were really a lot of telegraph people.
Not to mention the Zheng family's own family members receiving telegrams, other small and medium-sized businessmen are also actively joining.
But in addition to the Zheng family, the majority of Ming people did think that this telegram was too expensive, and it cost as much as a pound of rice per word...... Therefore, the number of words is compressed, and the most complete meaning is expressed with the least number of words...... This lasted for at least twenty years, and finally forced a unique form of literary fiction: the telegraph novel.
You see, why don't you say that the arts and sciences promote each other?
Li Zheng, who inadvertently gave birth to a genre of literary fiction, didn't know anything about it at the time, and at that time he often had drinks with Jiang Tiesheng, and the two were closer, and sometimes he took He Yang to party with him......
He Yang said with some worry: "Little brother, I think this Jiang Tie is weird......"
"Hehe, Xiaohe, what's the blame...... It's just that he has some ideas of his own...... For example, it is very reasonable for him to propose a civil law...... And he also contacted a lot of like-minded friends, horseside technicians, strong power over accountants...... Would you like to get involved? ”
He Yang thought for a while and said, "No, didn't Chairman Wu say that now is to talk less about doctrine and do more practical things?" ”
"Xiaohe, what does civil law have to do with doctrine?"
"Well, when I didn't say ......"
"Xiaohe, Jiang Tiesheng has another point that makes sense, let's not just look down and pull the car, but also look up and look in the direction...... Make your voice heard...... What, are you too tired of the task of receiving telegrams right now? ”
"Little brother, don't be tired, type into the computer, just use the software...... More than a dozen servings a day. ”
Li Zheng patted He Yang's arm affectionately and said, "In this way, let's set the time, one, three, five, two, four, six, and rest on Sunday, so that they know that there is a fixed time, and I will help you when the time comes...... Jiang Tiesheng said that when we are united, we are strength, and we should not live ordinarily, but start with the formulation of civil law...... You don't have it now, we don't have legal authorities? Everyone is on the same level! ”
He Yang glanced at Li Zheng with some concern and didn't say anything......
After the Ming people knew the fixed time of the Hantang Group, they came to collect it when the time came...... They also learned to line up according to the requirements of the Hantang Group.
Queuing, of course, is a boring job, and of course Chunmei and Qiuju are reluctant to go...... At the same time, going to the market to shop is a happy thing, except for Carrefour, where you can't bargain...... It's an interesting thing......
A few days later, the third uncle of the Zheng family arranged for a number of people to pick them up and go to live in the Xiangshan community, saying that a place had been built there in advance, and everything was cleaned up......
The group moved there to live, and sure enough, as the third uncle of the Zheng family said, everything was packed up and they could live directly.
