Chapter 173: A Mass of Harmony

Above the West Lake, the fog and water are misty.

On the surface of the green lake, the white mist is slowly rising, like a fairyland on earth.

"By the way, today is my father's 40th birthday, I wonder if you would like to attend my father's birthday ceremony?"

This Ma Rong said so, but he didn't take Runzhi as an outsider.

"Didn't you commit suicide just now, you said you, what day is not good, you have to choose the day of your father's fortieth birthday, presumably your father is in a hurry to die now", Runzhi said, implying that he agreed by default.

In fact, Runzhi just wants to walk around here, and it would be even better if he had the opportunity to visit the people in depth.

"I deserve to die in a hurry, who let him not agree to my marriage with this Fu Chen Lund in the first place, such a wonderful marriage, but in the end it ended up like this, and now it is even more embarrassing that I can't see anyone, it's really speechless!"

This Ma Rong said.

Although he said this, when he came out of Ma Rong's mouth, it was obvious that he still had some feelings for his father, after all, blood was thicker than water.

In fact, this Chenlong's family background is indeed not well-off, but with the results of the township examination Kuiyuan in the imperial examination, Chenlong has been named a subordinate official of a county government.

Although Chenlong's position is humble, but his responsibilities are relaxed, if he hadn't died because of saving people, the two of them could still happily and carefree together to create a better world for the two, what a pity!

This Ma Rong thought so in her heart, and at the same time thought that what this guy said was quite reasonable, even if he died today? Who can guarantee that I will be able to be with my lover in the future?

It's better to live every day happily, let yourself live every day to the fullest, make yourself happy, and let yourself live happily in the future, which is the only thing you can do for Chenlong.

"How can I say it, Ma Junguo is your father after all, you still have to learn to understand his good intentions, in fact, he is just a businessman, the businessman always thinks about maximizing profits, maybe he wants to marry you to a rich man in other places with whom he cooperates, wouldn't the two families be able to achieve a combination of gold and silver through marriage, so that the two families can better cooperate and make money?"

Runzhi said deliberately, this is still the truth for Ma Junguo.

"I'm not a commodity, I'm not a tool for him, I'm just me, I want my own life, why should I be a tool for him to marry, is he still short of money? No matter how poor my father is, he won't sell me, right? Even if he dares to sell it, I still don't agree to it."

Ma Rong said this, and as he spoke, he had already stood up, one hand on the guardrail, while watching a group of koi not far away chasing each other in the pure water, occasionally plucking a few green leaves from the side and throwing them down to feed the fish.

These fish are also very cooperative, and as soon as the green leaves reach the surface of the water, they all swim over, chasing each other after the green leaves that have just been thrown. It looks very cheerful.

"My family lives not far from here, my father has bought the surrounding area of the West Lake, built a lot of brand-new pavilions and pavilions, but made this area look new, and immediately became a place where people from all over the world come to visit here in Zhezhou", Ma Rong and Runzhi walked to Ma's house, while saying, "I remember my family, you say that you are a friend of Chenlong, and also my friend, and you are here to celebrate his old man's birthday."

Runzhi naturally agreed.

So the two walked one after the other, along a long wooden bridge in the lake pavilion of West Lake, to Ma Rong's house.

Along the way, the surrounding people who came to play here looked at the two with an envious extension.

One of them, a pair of gray-haired old men who were walking together with each other, raised their heads and glanced at the two people walking in front of them, and said:

"It's really a talented woman, you see, this little couple is really happy these days" Jiangsu Literature Network

"Who says it's not, I think back then, when we were young, wasn't this how we came over? At that time, it was really cool."

"You still say, if you hadn't stalked me back then, I would never have married you, a poor bastard."

"Hey, we're all old now!"

"Yes, we're all old, if we leave this world together another day, then we can still be buried together, and we can still be our husband and wife when we go to the underworld."

"If you want to be beautiful, I don't want to go to the underworld with you to be a husband and wife, this life is beautiful for you, hehe"

Runzhi and Ma Rong talked along the way, and talked about Ma Rong's father, Ma Junguo.

"Actually, I've heard of your father before, the one with fourteen wives, right?" , Runzhi said suddenly.

Runzhi said in a relaxed and witty tone.

"My father does have fourteen wives and concubines, but among the fourteen wives and concubines, only six of them have children for my father, and the rest, now old, are still cumin, fortunately, my father still has the wealth of the country, so this person will not worry about daily congestion"

When talking about these fourteen wives and concubines, Ma Rong was obviously a little unnatural, and this was naturally for a reason.

It turns out that since Ma Junguo became popular with the phrase "peerless good shoes", he has continued to build workshops all over Kyushu, making the "peerless good shoes" workshop open to every place in Kyushu.

These workshops distributed in various parts of Kyushu naturally have a lot of embroidery work that needs girls to do, so that there are no less than hundreds of women in each workshop, and there are many handsome people with all their faces.

After this Ma Junguo made a lot of money in Kyushu, it was not just as simple as opening a "peerless good shoes" workshop.

This horse Junguo quickly led everyone and opened up a new battlefield.

That is, in collusion with insatiable officials in some places, secretly and secretly controlling many of the newly discovered huge gold mines that have not yet had time to be reported.

Using his own mind and management experience, this Ma Junguo's wealth snowballed and grew.

The people around him knew only that his wealth was terrifying, and no one could tell how much gold he had.

Runzhi and Ma Rong passed by a downtown area, which is a unique flavor street in Zhejiang, and all kinds of snacks are dazzling, which is indeed easy to salivate.

Runzhi saw that above the downtown area, there was a store with a unique style.

I saw that in this shop, there was a large plaque with four big red characters carved with the four big characters of "a group of harmony", and two lines of couplets were written on both sides.

On the right, you will come to Shaxian to eat when you are angry and make money, and on the left, you will go to a small shop in Zhejiang when you are successful.

Runzhi said gently:

"I have long heard that in this place of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, since ancient times, folk people have liked to dance and ink, and now it seems that this is indeed the case, today your father is a birthday, let's go back to your father in order to book a hundred longevity noodles, we bring a copy ourselves, let this store do the rest, and then all of them will be sent directly to the house, and given to the relatives and friends who come to participate in your father's birthday to taste, isn't it interesting?"
