Chapter 201: Rushing to Nanjing (I)

On the carriage, An Zhuang, who had been silent since just now, suddenly asked Xu Changqing, "Sir, what do you think of Song Jiaoren and Chen Qimei?"

Xu Changqing turned his head to look at An Zhuang and said, "Be a masterpiece in the world." Hearing Xu Changqing's evaluation, An Zhuang's eyes showed a hint of gloom, and then Xu Changqing said: "It's a pity that his face died early, and he probably didn't live for a few years." ”

This sentence surprised An Zhuang, and then a subtle hint of joy appeared on his face, and he didn't ask anything more. An Zhuang's expression naturally did not escape Xu Changqing's eyes, he looked out the window, as if talking to himself, and as if he was mentioning something to An Zhuang, and said: "The Chen family, whether it is now or in the future, will play a pivotal role in the three worlds of Chinese politics, business and military, so not everyone in the Chen Mansion is qualified to be the housekeeper. ”

After hearing this, An Zhuang's expression showed a hint of enlightenment, and he turned to Xu Changqing and hugged his fists and said, "Thank you, Mr. Mention." ”

There was no reason to stay in Shanghai, and the Huang family brothers and sisters had accumulated a lot of worldly experience, and there was no benefit in continuing to stay in Shanghai, so Xu Changqing prepared to leave. At this time, Chen Deshang, who participated in the funeral of Zhang Zhidong, returned to Shanghai, and when he returned, there was one more person by his side, and that person was Li Wenjun. Seeing that Chen Deshang placed Li Wenjun next to Chen Dejun to do things, it can be guessed that Li Wenjun should have been initially recognized by the head of the Chen family, and the next thing he has to do is to use his own strength to make all the Chen family members agree with him.

When he learned that the Chen family had become the largest coffee plantation in South America, Chen Deshang was overjoyed. He naturally knows what this means for a long time in the business world, which not only means that the Chen family has established themselves in the Americas, but also that they can officially enter the U.S. futures financial market through the coffee beans in their hands, and become a market maker who controls the market from a peripheral bystander. Its role in the Chen family was no less than Chen Jingguo's purchase of seven light industrial factories in Britain and France that were on the verge of bankruptcy at a low price.

Xu Changqing played a crucial role in the whole transaction, which Chen Deshang also knew well, but he really didn't know how to thank Xu Changqing. When he learned that there was a heaven and earth spirit object in Europe, he decided to spend a huge amount of money and offer a reward on the European black market, hoping to find that heaven and earth spirit object so as to surprise Xu Changqing. In this way, the whole of Europe was stirred up by a small stone brought from the East, and the official, civil and religious forces showed their powers, just to find such an inconspicuous small stone, and the vendetta incidents that arose one after another, almost every day in Europe can see the relevant news when you open it.

Just when Europe was making a fuss about Xu Changqing's small stone, Xu Changqing had already boarded a river boat to Nanjing to continue his trip back to his hometown.

Nanjing, known as Jianye, Jiankang and Jinling in ancient times, is the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, with the spirit of Shenglong, and the Taiping Tianguo Capital was the Nanjing that was chosen. Although Nanjing is recognized as a treasure land, few people know that there is no way to extend the pulse here. Because if there is no extension of the pulse of the qi to assist the natal dragon qi, the national fortune will not last long, that is to say, this place can be the founding capital, can be used as the capital of the dynasty, but it can never be the capital of the country, any Nanjing as the capital of the dynasty is short-lived.

When Xu Changqing set foot in this strange city, his first feeling was prosperity, which was not the materialistic vanity of Shanghai, but a kind of thick and steady that made people feel at ease. The boats on the docks, the crowds on the streets, and the shops dotted throughout the city all show the vibrancy of the city. Unlike the Shanghai business community, which is full of the excitement of getting rich overnight, the Nanjing business community is more particular about the long stream.

The ancient city of Nanjing suffered a devastating blow in the struggle between the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and the Qing court, and although it has gradually recovered over the years, you can still see many ruins left behind on the streets. Perhaps the people of Nanjing have not forgotten the war when they were born here, and they have learned to be people with their heads down, and they have always abided by the standards of the Qing court in their thinking. When there were other places that had one after another Westernization and enlightenment movement, the place has always maintained calm, and the academy still teaches the eight ancient texts, even if there are professors of Western studies, they dare not put it on the surface. As a result, apart from foreigners, there are very few Chinese people wearing Western clothes on the streets of Nanjing, and there are no progressive students who dare to convey their enlightened ideas in the downtown area.

"Master, where are we going?" Huang Shan took his sister to avoid a strong man who had just come out of the restaurant, ran quickly to Xu Changqing's side, and asked.

Xu Changqing said expressionlessly: "A place where the master doesn't want to go, but has to go." ”

The reason why Xu Changqing stayed in Nanjing this time was mainly to go to the Shen family's ancestral house to find the whereabouts of the Shen family. When he was in Shanghai, Xu Changqing also asked Chen Zhenshan to inquire about the whereabouts of the Shen family who moved to Europe. But the final result was not very satisfactory, the news that came back knew that after the Shen family moved to Europe, they changed their Western surname, and then lived in seclusion in central Europe, where no one knows, and the Shen family's ancestral home in China was handed over to a family of servants who had served the Shen family for generations. Since there is no news from Europe, Xu Changqing can only find a way to find his whereabouts from the Shen family's ancestral house, although he also knows that there is little hope, but he still wants to try.

Although the Shen family has been away from Nanjing for many years, there are still many Nanjing people who have a fresh memory of this rich family in Nanjing, and when Xu Changqing asked where the Shen family's old house was, Nanjing people were able to quickly point out its location.

The Shen family in Nanjing can be described as a real family, in the folk is rumored that its ancestor is the Ming Dynasty rich Shen Wansan, but many people, is the Shen family themselves do not believe in this statement, from its genealogy can be seen that its ancestors came from Hunan, in the Qianlong period only settled in Nanjing. Although the Shen family has also made a lot of explanations, but the people of Nanjing don't care about these, and it is the same everywhere to do the things of the living in the name of their ancestors, not to mention that Shen Wansan also has the name of a cornucopia, and the people of Nanjing borrow this name.

The Shen Mansion is not the largest in Nanjing, but its architecture is deeply Jiangnan style, which can be regarded as a scene in the suburbs of Nanjing, and it is also quite eye-catching among the many houses in Nanjing, Xu Changqing did not take long to find the location of the Shen Mansion.
