Chapter 110: Where the Mountains and Rivers Are Wide (Part I)
"I'm happy for a while, but I forgot to greet him, and I hope Dong Gongzi won't be surprised."
Nalan then said to Hongli: "Back then, I met Dong Gongzi through my brother, I remember that at that time, he was still a literati, who knows that in the past few years, he has turned into a businessman, and sometimes he will not understand the rules, if he commits it, please don't meet him in general." Nalan said this, on the one hand, to break the atmosphere of the stalemate between the two just now, and on the other hand, to prevent Dong Sixian from saying something in the future, so that he could make a round.
Dong Sixian heard that Nalan was talking for himself, and when he was happy, he hurriedly greeted: "Haha, it's still Miss Nalan who understands me as a rough person, you see, why are you just standing, please take a seat, my side is not as luxurious as in the palace, so I am wronged." ”
The reason why Dong Sixian can speak so meaninglessly is because he wants to see if Nalan Wei does not defend him, and secondly, the merchant and the palace have always been closely connected, and it is impossible for the two to offend each other.
Hongli didn't say anything again, glanced at Nalan, then calmly walked to the table and sat down, this Dong Sixian is now one of the richest businessmen in the capital, of course, the main force behind this is still his family, when his grandfather was in power, he had heard of that family, and they were also loyal to the court at that time.
"I heard that Dong Gongzi's hometown is from the Jiangnan area?"
I didn't expect Hongli to ask his hometown directly, he has been in the capital for many years, not to ask himself whether he is a person from the capital, but to ask himself directly if he is in the Jiangnan area, it seems that he knows about him, but today is the first time to meet him, and he came to know.
"Fourth elder brother, this news is really well-informed, Dong has been in the capital for many years, but few people know that I am not from the capital, even the Nalan girl has never known."
Hongli squinted at Nalan and saw that she was still silent, so he pushed the incense burner in front of him, sniffed it carefully, and said with a smile: "This is just looking at Dong Gongzi, gentle and elegant, not like he has the domineering spirit that the Manchus should have, but has a bit of the scholarly atmosphere in the south of the Yangtze River." ”
"Fourth elder brother, it is really discerning, Dong is indeed Han as you say, and he was also born in Yangzhou City, but he followed his father to the capital since he was a child, and within a few years, his father went back, but Dong stayed in the capital intentionally, but who knows, this treatment is decades." Dong Sixian said, walked towards Nalan, and said with a smile: "Look at you, you are standing here, but you seem to be restrained, so let's take a seat quickly." ”
When Hongli saw it, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he seemed to smile and said: "Your treatment is also prosperous, and I really admire it." ”
"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, the fourth elder brother has been promoted." Dong Sixian pulled out the chair, inadvertently moved the position of the chair to his own position, and let Nalan take a seat.
"Thank you."
"You and I don't have to be so polite, but we seem rusty."
Hongli snorted coldly in his heart, without speaking, he looked at Nalan, Dong Sixian's actions just now, Nalan also saw it, and knew that Hongli was looking at her, and at the moment when she sat down in the chair, she moved the chair in the direction of Hongli, and Hongli said: "However, you have been away from your hometown for decades, but there are people in the capital who can't let go." ”
Dong Sixian saw Nalan move the chair back, and he was really a little disappointed in his heart, so he returned to his seat and replied: "It's really a pun, it's a shame to say, my parents are just my son, and I can't always be by my side, it's really unfilial, I don't plan to go back a year ago, and accompany his old man well, as for the people who can't let go." Dong Sixian glanced at Nalan after speaking, turned his head to Hongli and said, "If you can't let it go now, you have to put it down." ”
