Chapter 337: Buying and Selling
Zhou Xingzhi likes his sister Lehui very much.
Le Hui is a little different from the fashionable ladies of the day, as well as the old-fashioned women.
When she was a child, she loved to read the Book of Poetry, read the Analects, play the piano, play the violin, play the piano, and read Shakespeare's sonnets.
I like to read Chinese with lofty aspirations, and I also like to read vernacular.
Later, as she got older, she liked to wear neat dresses, but she also preferred cheongsam, and she liked the big wavy star head, but she didn't feel anything bad about combing the flag head.
She can enjoy Western food.
Of course, the most adaptable thing is Chinese food.
Breakfast is more in line with her stomach than bread and milk, drinking millet porridge, drinking soy milk, and eating steamed bun fritters.
Among his sisters, only Le Hui has a unique status in Zhou Xingzhi's heart.
It's just that later the Zhou family had an accident, the family was scattered, Zhou Xingzhi went abroad to stay abroad, a lot happened, and when he knew Le Hui again, Le Hui didn't know where to go, and his whereabouts were unknown.
Zhou Xingzhi thought of the old man, and a little joy appeared in the corner of his eyes.
Yang Yuying chuckled: "When my mother was alive, she once told me about Aunt Le Hui, and she also painted a portrait of Aunt Le Hui wearing men's clothes to study at the Tongwen Museum. ”
"It turned out to be a niece."
Zhou Xingzhi suddenly smiled, "Le Hui is naughty, and she likes to wear men's clothes when she goes out." ”
He immediately regarded Yang Yuying as his own family in his heart.
If it weren't for her own family, her mother wouldn't have been able to draw a portrait of Le Hui, let alone remember the interesting stories of her sister when she was young.
Looking at Yang Yuying carefully, I saw that her complexion was not very good, and she was tired, but she was fresh, and the fragrance of books between her eyebrows and eyes was very strong, and she was quite happy in her heart.
"Sister Le Hui was a little lonely when she was a child, but I didn't expect to have close cousins, it's really rare."
Half an hour later.
Zhou Xingzhi already regarded Yang Yuying as his own child, and his face was full of intimacy.
The two of them talked about mathematics, chemistry, physics, even medicine, literature, and occasionally a few lines of poetry.
Zhou Xingzhi didn't expect that the niece he had just recognized would be so outstanding, and when it came to Xingtou, he had already praised her as the most outstanding figure in the younger generation of the Zhou family.
Song Yu listened for a long time with a confused face, and when he heard it, black lines appeared on his head, so he hurriedly excused himself to clean up the sleeper car for Yang Yuying and avoided it.
Zhou Xingzhi heard that Yang Yuying bribed the flight attendants, so he went to the cabin attendant lounge on the car to rest, of course he refused to let his own child be so aggrieved as a young girl.
Yang Yuying finally lived comfortably in the luxurious sleeper box in the first class.
The bedding is soft and you feel like you're on the clouds.
There was a separate bathroom, she took a shower happily, leaned on the bed and looked at the scenery outside the car and stretched, if it weren't for the worry about the chaos of the train, she could enjoy this journey more.
Lin Cuiniang's mother is really called Zhou Lefen, she fled to Lin's father's village before marrying Lin's father, the specific origin is unknown, of course, it has nothing to do with the scholarly Zhou family.
Yang Yuying only saw the poems, articles and letters written by Zhou Xingzhi to his sister Le Hui on the anonymous scroll, so she had a whim and found such a cheap relative for herself.
If she pretends to be Zhou Lehui's daughter, it is easy to be recognized, in case Zhou Xing wants to know all the information about her beloved sister, if she really inquires, she will definitely be exposed at once.
But playing the daughter of Zhou Lehui's little sister, there is generally nothing to worry about.
The Zhou family is a big family, and there are a lot of relatives in the outer eight roads, and the war disasters in the past few years have been repeated, and the family tree has long been scattered, and it is not unusual for Zhou Lehui to have a distant sister named Zhou Lefen.
Yang Yuying took advantage of the fact that there was still a little time to take out the "Nameless Scroll" and brush it at a glance.
But everything related to Zhou Xingzhi and the big guy on the train now, Song Jue, the commander of the security army, she will go through it first.
Just as she was watching, an orderly came over outside, and Zhou Xingzhi invited her to have tea.
Yang Yuying smiled.
Obviously, Zhou Xingzhi is interested in the new little niece, and he has not seen his family for many years, and it is rare for someone to say some old things about his hometown.
……
Commander Song was not in a good mood today.
With his own strength, he was able to become the commander of the security army at the age of 27 without the help of his family.
It's just that he has a territory and soldiers, and his ambitions have skyrocketed, and he wants better guns, even artillery fire, tanks, and more and more things.
My own arsenal has been built, and after it was built, I realized that this is a big money-eater, and what it produces is really a mess.
It was not enough to rely on the few firearms assigned from above, and their security forces were not the descendants of the president.
He wants arms, and for now he has to buy them.
Just thinking about the pitfalls he encountered when he bought arms...... Song Jue's heart was angry.
Song Yu looked serious, and he didn't dare to show the slightest smile. He only poked Staff Officer Lu with his hand to make him speak.
"Well, a comprador named Sun Mao of Liren said that they had just arrived in a batch of very good quality, and he happened to be on the train, so we can get in touch with him and have a look......"
Staff Officer Lu said in a deep voice.
Several people discussed a few words, the face of the security army, there are still people who are willing to give, and they have found a few new ways, Song Jin's mood is slightly better, and he also has time to care about his uncle.
"How is my uncle, do you still have a headache today?"
Song Yu raised his eyebrows: "Where do you still have a headache?" Mr. Zhou likes his beautiful little niece, drinks tea and chats with beauties every day, and he can't miss it, he has long forgotten what Miss Jin and Miss Yin are! ”
A few days ago, Miss Jing, one of Zhou Xing's confidantes, defrauded 500 silver dollars from him, and after defrauding the money, she sympathized with people and eloped.
That's not all, the key is that everyone knows about the matter, and the old lady also knows it, so she scolded him with a head and face, and instead of forcing him to go on a blind date, he had a headache for several days.
Song Ying raised his eyebrows: "What? ”
Before I could ask in detail, I saw a woman coming with a girl.
The eyebrows are delicate and generous.
Yang Yuying also saw Song Ying, and was a little surprised.
The commander of the security army, someone has soldiers, a high and powerful position, and he never thought that he was a young man.
And he is tall, his muscles are supple and powerful, and his facial features are three-dimensional, which is quite amazing.
(Lin Cuiniang has a love for Song Yao...... )
Yang Yuying: Where do you see this?
(Died to save Song Yao!) )
Yang Yuying: ......
Isn't there a little better?
Zhou Xingzhi saw that Yang Yuying was a little absent-minded, thinking that she was frightened by Song Jin's cold face, and then looked at the bunch of rude ** around Song Jin, and after a few simple words, he hurriedly took his niece to the dining car to eat.
"Sun Mao has arrived."
Staff Officer Lu gestured.
Song Xuan suddenly didn't have the heart to care about his uncle's affairs.
Yang Yuying entered the dining car with Zhou Xingyi, and when she passed by, she glanced at the third-class carriage opposite through the door and window, and was startled by the gray-faced guests inside.
Everyone was full of cinders, embarrassed, so crowded that there was no place to put her feet, and she saw with her own eyes that an old lady was squeezed out of breath.
There is also a young man who lifted his foot and moved, but he couldn't put down his foot, and he could only be independent of half a golden rooster.
This train was supposed to arrive at Qindao this evening, but looking at the current situation, I am afraid that it will be delayed until tomorrow at least.
She suddenly despaired of her laid-back travel plans.
With this traffic environment, she has the luxury of going anywhere. It's enough to sit in first class.
As soon as she sat down, there was a sudden commotion in front of her, and Yang Yuying looked up and saw a blonde and blue-eyed foreign old man talking while gesturing at a young translator.
The translator's face was full of ignorance.
Yang Yuying stared carefully at the foreigner's face, and with a little smile on her face, she walked over and said in a Saxon accent: "Sir, this train is late, and it will not arrive at Qindao until noon tomorrow." ”
The foreigner looked pleasantly surprised.
The translator was also relieved.
Mr. Fred was the important guest of honor of the owner of their Liren & Co., and had just cleared them of a mechanical fault with the ship's engine.
The boss explained that he wanted to entertain his old man, but he never expected that his German was also very good, but he couldn't understand people's words!
Who knows which country Mr. Fred is talking about...... German!
It was too late to find another translator, but thanks to Mr. Fred's knowledge of English, we could barely communicate. But the translator was so tormented that he couldn't hit the wall eighteen times a day, and now a girl who could communicate with Mr. Fred suddenly appeared, and he was not greatly relieved.
Mr. Fred sighed, "God, beautiful girl, you are truly an angel sent by God. ”
Yang Yuying smiled: "I don't think I have a pair of wings. ”
It was natural for the two to sit together for dinner.
Zhou Xingzhi sat on the side, also a little surprised.
Seeing that Mr. Fred was just speaking the language of his hometown in a foreign country from the beginning, he was a little excited, and it developed into a very happy conversation with Yang Yuying, and after a while, it became a year-old friend.
He was astonished, and in fact the interpreter was even more astonished, and he watched with his own eyes until at last Mr. Fred took out his notebook, which he had never revealed, opened it, and pointed at the girl, who did not know what she had said, and who smiled sometimes with annoyance, sometimes with surprise.
Translation:...... He suspected that Mr. Fred had sprouted from an old tree and had been fascinated by a beautiful Chinese girl.
Here, Commander Song's face became more and more gloomy.
Song Yu and Staff Officer Lu also looked quite unsightly.
The two of them, as the main force, bargained with the comprador named Sun Mao and talked dryly, but the other party looked as soft as dough, but in fact they didn't eat it softly and hard, and bit to death sixty dollars for a rifle, which was twenty dollars higher than the normal price.
The commander is not wronged, how can he admit it?
I really want to make this business.
Bargaining and tossing until now, Song Jue is already very annoying, and his patience is not so bad on weekdays, but there have been a lot of bad things that have happened one after another recently, and everything is not going well, and he has long been very unhappy.
Song Yu didn't see it well, so he hurriedly gave Staff Officer Lu a look, and the two of them coaxed and deceived Song Yu to the lounge for a while.
For the weapons that are about to arrive!
In these years, the one who has the territory is the uncle, and with the gun, there can be more people.
Song Jue was not happy when he returned to the lounge, and recently for the sake of weapons, he simply encountered all the setbacks he had never encountered in his life.
The weapons and ammunition allocated above are getting worse and worse, and there are problems with the original door, and the people of the foreign bank arbitrarily increase the price......
Song Jue thought: If it really doesn't work, he will also move some other thoughts.
It's not that he can't do things like black eating black.
"Commander."
Song Yu was closing his eyes and pondering, when Song Yu suddenly pushed the door in, with surprise and incredulity on his face, "The price given to us by Liren Foreign Company has been lowered, and they promised thirty-five dollars for a rifle." ”
Song Jue: "Oh? ”
"Other mountain guns, machine guns, heavy machine guns, etc. are in stock, and the price is very advantageous."
Song Jue: ......
"We met a nobleman, there is a German Yankee, who seems to be a big man in Liren Foreign Company, as soon as that person appeared, but after a few words, Sun Mao immediately became very easy to speak, expressing his willingness to give us the greatest preferential price."
Song Jue hurriedly pushed the door out, returned to the box with Song Yu, and saw the big man Song Yu said.
It was a blonde and blue-eyed foreign old man, and sitting next to the old man was actually his uncle's newly recognized niece.
Waiting for Sun Mao to tell the price, this time Song Jue didn't have any stumbles at all, and immediately signed the contract and directly asked Song Yu to pay the deposit.
The already respectful smile on Sun Mao's face became more respectful: "Miss Lin is a friend of Mr. Fred, that is, a friend of our foreign bank, if the commander has any other needs, please feel free to speak." ”
Song Jue raised his eyebrows, Song Yu and Staff Officer Lu hurriedly said good words politely, and held Sun Mao high: "It's all comprador Sun's help, we will lead you to this favor." ”
The business was negotiated and these people were sent away, and Song Jue looked at Yang Yuying for the first time, and she was quite curious.
Zhou Xingzhi was more concerned than Song Jue: "Wan'er, how did you know that Mr. Fred?" ”
Yang Yuying said with a smile: "It's also a coincidence that I have a teacher, he used to be a person from Yuanyang Cargo Shipping Company, and that company is actually an international intelligence organization to put it bluntly, and what it does is intelligence trading." ”
"It was also when I met Mr. Fred that I remembered that when the teacher taught me German, he casually talked about him, his status in Germany is not low, and the master behind Liren Foreign Company is asking him for something, and I heard my uncle say that you are preparing to do business with Liren Foreign Company, so I went to get a little close."
Yang Yuying smiled softly.
Song Yu was surprised: "Miss Lin's little trick is almost, but it has saved us nearly half of the military expenses, which is really amazing!" ”
Zhou Xingzhi was also quite surprised.
For most of the next day, Yang Yuying and Mr. Fred were always chatting together.
Song Yu watched from the sidelines, and when he came back, he sighed: "I think the German guy is about to offer Miss Lin." ”
In particular, Fred learned a few sentences of broken Chinese from nowhere, and in front of the public, he gave a thumbs up and praised Yang Yuying: "...... You're a genius, you're a walking encyclopedia, amazing, amazing! ”
