"Dad, this... Is this all true?" He Wenliang asked with a trembling look at the document in his hand with both excited and surprised expression. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Of course, in order to investigate this information in your hands, my father has been verifying for three years, and he can finally be 100% sure that the Chinese People's Army in Nanyang is actually under the control of the Huo family in Taiwan, and the mysterious young master in their mouth is Huo Shan, the only heir of the Huo family's estate! That is, your future son-in-law, Wen Yi's future husband!" He Jing touched his beard and said with a smile.

"Doesn't that mean ......?" Although He Wenliang did not finish speaking, he could see what he was thinking from the brighter and brighter brilliance in his eyes.

"Well, as you think, if the Huo family will go north in the future, overthrow the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and ascend the throne as emperor, then our He family will become a real relative of the emperor!" He Jing, who is already seventy years old and has a sophisticated mind, couldn't help but say excitedly.

Now, he is really glad that he made the decision to make a family relationship with the Huo family! Originally, he just thought that the marriage of the Huo He family would ensure that after he became a prince, he could ensure that the He family could rely on the Huo family's commercial achievements to let the He family continue to grow and develop, but he didn't expect that after the hook of this marriage was thrown out, a golden beetle son-in-law was caught, no, it was not a golden beetle son-in-law, but a golden dragon that was still hidden in the dark!

At this time, He Wenyu, who is He Jing's eldest son, and He Wenhui, the second son, couldn't help but look at their third brother with envy, and they didn't think about a marriage that they didn't pay attention to. So much in return. However, although the two of them have their own children, they are not the same age as the young master of the Huo family!

Looking at the excited face of his third brother, he was obviously already immersed in the excitement of becoming a national ruler in the future! He Wenyu, who had already been confirmed to be the next generation of the He family, turned his head and asked: "Dad, the current Chinese People's Army is a Western republican system, and the prime minister is a Hong Kong man named Huang Sheng who studied in the West! Can you be sure that it is the Huo family who controls Nanyang?"

Although his father has repeatedly assured, this matter is a little untrue no matter how you look at it, so He Wenyu couldn't help but ask again. Of course, if it weren't for the joy of seeing the old man today. In other words, he didn't dare to question the old man's decision.

"Of course, our He family has had a lot of business contacts with the Huo family over the years, and we are very familiar with the personnel of the Huo family. Other than that. If you look at the list of ministers of the Government Council released by the Chinese People's Army in Nanyang, almost half of them are surnamed Huo, and basically they are all important positions! Leave aside the fact that others say it for the time being, I know Huo Tian, the minister of industry and commerce. Before the Chinese People's Army in Nanyang was established. He is the general person in charge of the Huo family's shops in Guangdong and Fujian! In the past, when the Taiwan Railway was being built, he once came to the Fujian and Zhejiang Governor's Mansion! Therefore, it was determined for his father that the Huo family was the behind-the-scenes controller of the Nanyang Chinese People's Army!" He Jing said with a decisive tone.

"Dad, what this Nanyang is practicing now is the way of foreigners, will the Huo family be like this in the future, and not be called emperors? Let the prime minister and parliament run the country?" He Wenliang, who had already come back to his senses, asked next.

After looking down and thinking for a while, He Jing slowly shook his head and said, "No." China is not Europe, and wants to engage in a foreigner, democratic republic, here. It simply doesn't work. And with the expansion of the Nanyang Huo family's army, more and more people have been attached to the Huo family, even if my grandson-in-law wants to implement the republican system, then the people under him will not agree!"

"Oh, that's good! That's good!" He Wenliang said again and again.

"That's right, Dad! I heard that this Chinese People's Army occupies a lot of land in the United States in the Americas, and the foreigner newspaper says that the Huo Jiajun is preparing a big war with the Americans with nearly three million participants! This United States is a foreigner, and if it loses, it will ......!"

Listening to the words of the second son, He Jing's face also showed a gloomy color, as a person who came from the two opium wars, he had already seen the power of foreigners, and those foreign guns and foreign cannons far exceeded the weapons and equipment of the Qing Dynasty, so he was also hesitant about the victory of the Chinese people's army over the Americans with only five years of development! After all, the powerful image of foreigners was already deeply rooted in his heart.

"Forget it, we can't get involved in this kind of thing, just let the Huo family make their own decisions, didn't the newspapers in the previous two years often say that the Chinese People's Army defeated the Americans, I believe that this time they can also win the war again!" He Jing said with a hint of helplessness in his tone.

In fact, after he learned that the controller behind the Nanyang Chinese People's Army was actually the Huo family in Taiwan, he was a little puzzled why the Qing Dynasty, which was close at hand, did not overthrow it, but went to war with the Americans thousands of miles away! Of course, he also wanted to personally send a letter to the Huo family in Taiwan to inquire, but in the end, after thinking about it, forget it, after all, this kind of thing is too secret! Moreover, the Huo family can develop such a large force in Nanyang, and it is completely prepared!

"Dad, in the future, our connection with the Huo family will be closer, as long as we have the help of the Huo family, the day when our He family will become a big family like the Guangdong Wen family and the Jiangxi Chen family is not far off!" He Wenyu said with some longing in his tone.

"Yes, Dad! When Wen Yi marries, she will be the eldest wife and the wife! If the Huo family becomes the emperor's family, then Wen Yi will also become the queen's honor, which is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for our He family!"

"There is a way that 'one person attains the Tao, and the chicken and dog ascend to heaven', as long as we can closely follow the Huo family, there will naturally be a time when our He family will soar in the future!"

Listening to his son's discussion, He Jing couldn't help but look forward to the future, and he has been an official for decades, so he naturally knows that no matter how close the relationship is, it must be contacted more to last!

"Wen Liang, Wen Yi should be fifteen years old this year, right?"

"Yes, Dad! In May this year, Wen Yi had just reached Lu (after an ancient woman was 15 years old and Lu, it meant that she was an adult and could get married)!" He Wenliang said hurriedly.

"Well, it's time to get married!" After bowing his head and muttering to himself, He Jing said again: "Wen Yu and Wen Liang, the two of you will go to Taiwan tomorrow to discuss the marriage date with the Huo family and set the date! By the way, bring Wen Yi over and let her meet her future husband!"

"Dad, is this appropriate?" He Wenliang asked with some surprise. You must know that according to traditional customs, an unmarried woman cannot meet her future husband before she is married in the church.

"I said okay, what age is this, don't you see that Nanyang has begun to vigorously promote Western learning now?" said the old man with a glare.

"You go this time, and you have prepared enough gifts! In addition, remember, the wedding date must be set, and our family Wenyi must become the wife of the young master of the Huo family, do you understand?"

"We remember, Daddy!"

"It's getting late, so go down first!"

"Hehe, Li Hongzhang is ahead of you this time, although you have also noticed the extraordinaryness of the Huo family, but after all, you still fall behind the old man, this time your granddaughter can only be ranked after our family Wen Yi, and she will be in the position of a flat wife, hehe! Haha, the old man can't win you in the officialdom, but this time he finally won you!" Sitting on the main seat in the main hall of the He family, He Jing said to himself excitedly.

"Brother Lu, are you still worried about running away from home this time?"

Hearing his companion's words, Lu Dong couldn't help but smile bitterly, he didn't expect that he, who had always been calm, was confused by this unscrupulous friend around him, using an old newspaper "**" issued by the Nanyang Chinese People's Army, and then followed him secretly goodbye, climbed from the Jinmen dock to the cruise ship heading south to Nanyang!

Looking at the expression on his companion's face, Wang Wei said magnificently: "Brother Lu, don't think about it! This time I went to Nanyang to study, but it doesn't matter if you and I can fly Huang Tengda in the future! Otherwise, even if we are in the family, as concubines, we have no chance to become human beings at all!"

"Brother Wang, why do we have to go to Nanyang to study, isn't there a school within the family?

"Family?" Wang Wei's face showed a thick look of disdain.

"What age is it now, and the school at home is still using those old routines! It's not the Eight Strands, or the Four Books and Five Classics of Confucianism, which have long been old-fashioned. Moreover, business, medicine, physics, chemistry, biology, geography, and so on have long been permanent subjects in foreign universities, but they do not attach the slightest importance to them within the family, and they are still called by strange and obscene skills!

After finishing speaking, Wang Wei patted the shoulder of his partner next to him, "Brother Lu, there is a way to 'read thousands of books, travel thousands of miles', the current Qing Dynasty has long been decayed, and this vast world outside is developing with each passing day, we want to get rid of the control of the family in the future, really get ahead, and have something to do, then leaving is the best choice!"

After hearing his words, Lu Dong's expression was stunned, he didn't expect that his good friend, who usually looked very wooden, would have such extraordinary insight! Moreover, he could really give up the glory of the children of the Wang family in Shanxi and go to Nanyang to study! However, seeing the blue sea in the distance, Lu Dong smiled in his heart, he is not the same as his friend today! He gave up the help of the Lu family in Hebei and walked out of the Qing Dynasty and began to break into the world!

"Let's go, let's go back to the cabin! We will be able to get to Dongwanlu in five days!" Lu Dong patted his friend on the shoulder and smiled. (To be continued.) )
