Hong House.

At the beginning of the night, after a hasty dinner, Hong Jin left the table and entered his study.

There was a hint of surprise in Miss Hong's eyes.

Today, the Holy Decree and the reinstatement of the officials.

It should be a great thing for an official who has been ordered to stay at home but is always concerned about the people of the dawn and the responsibility of upholding justice for the people, at least, he can once again master the qualifications to ask for life and speak for the people.

However, looking at his father's expression, he was in a restless mood, and his usual ease and ease in the past was completely gone.

Could it be that Daddy realized that he had to carry the burden again and was in a heavy mood?

Miss Hong thought about it, dispelled the idea of going shopping, and walked into her father's study.

"Daddy—"

"Hmm. Hong Jin raised his gaze from the book in his hand, looked at his daughter, and smiled, and the slightly stiff facial muscles were obviously a little far-fetched.

"Didn't you go out for a walk?"

Miss Hong looked at her father and said, "Dad, you don't seem to be very happy. ”

"How come," Hong Jinshou increased his smile a lot, "See, what's on Dad's face, it's a smile, right?"

Miss Hong had no choice but to admit it, but she sighed and said, "My daughter is useless, and I can't help my father." ”

Hong Jin said: "What are you talking about, you have already helped my father a lot." If, if you hadn't invited Sanshao into our Hong family last year, let's climb the big tree of Sanshao, so that some people who want to attack me have scruples, otherwise, Dad's fate will be the same as that of a horse hating a water horse. ”

"Three Less—"

Miss Hong's eyes flashed a trace of gloom, and said, "Dad, don't comfort your daughter, you are different from Master Ma, you are idle at home, they are not good for your opponents, one is that you have no conflict of interest with them, and the other is that you are afraid that you will fall in front of the emperor and make the emperor dislike." ”

Hong Jin looked at her with his hand and said with a smile: "Maybe, these are all reasonable, but, daughter, you should also admit one thing, after beating the third young man to publicly say that you are his woman, you see, it has been more than a year, who else dares to make a move on you?"

Miss Hong's face was feixia, she was infinitely shy, lowered her head, and said in a low voice: "Dad, you are making fun of your daughter again." ”

Hong Jin smiled with his hand, but there was a trace of helplessness and soreness in his eyes.

Miss Hong raised her head and said with a smile: "Now that my father has been reinstated, I guess the emperor has stopped pursuing those rumors and rumors about my father?"

Hong Jinshou nodded and said, "Well, you also saw it, today Mu Lingdao personally came to deliver the decree, that is to imply to me, this time the emperor reinstated my position, he, and his group, have made a lot of efforts." ”

Miss Hong was slightly stunned and said, "Dad, haven't they always regarded Daddy as the right person, why this time?"

Hong Jin waved his hand and said, "Daughter, the water in officialdom is very deep, you don't understand." Dad needs to review some information, you should rest early. ”

Miss Hong said: "Daddy, don't stay up late." ”

"Yes, Daddy knows. Hong Jin picked up the book in his hand, and Miss Hong turned around and walked out.

Hong Jin's eyes fell on the book, but he suddenly seemed to remember something, and said, "Daughter, you send a message to Sanshao, so that he doesn't have to go to Fusang." ”

Miss Hong stopped, turned around, and said, "Daddy, I'm afraid it's too late." ”

Hong Jin's body shook, raised his head, looked at his daughter and said, "What, Mo Fei"

Miss Hong nodded lightly: "Yes, three days ago, Sanshao had already set off and sailed by boat." ”

Hong Jin said, "Do you know whose boat he is on?"

Miss Hong said: "It is a sea ship built by Jiangnan Dockyard. ”

Hong Jin said: "Is the Jiangnan Dockyard owner Huo Yunshen, the Jiangnan water transport predator?"

Miss Hong said: "Exactly. Once, the Huo family ran a single gang and monopolized Jiangnan shipping, and later, under the promotion of the three less, the four major families in Jiangnan turned into a whole, combined with the strong, and completely integrated the commercial operations in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. ”

Hong Jinshou nodded, his eyes were extremely approving, and said: "Sanshao, you are extraordinary, or my daughter has a unique eye, so good, he will come back from Sanshao Fusang in the future, I can't say, my father personally gave you Jiangnan Mengjia and his party, and he came to the door to decide this family business." ”

Miss Hong was embarrassed and said: "Everyone is a man who takes the initiative to come to the door to propose, how can there be a change, the female family comes to propose, people who don't know, I think Daddy, you are worried that your daughter can't get married!"

Hong Jin said with a smile: "The rules are here to break, what's more, who stipulated that the man must take the initiative in marriage?"

Miss Hong said: "I won't tell you, anyway, I'll talk about it later." ”

Hong Jinshou laughed and said with a smile: "Daughter, you just listen to your father, don't worry about anything else, wait to be your dream lady, haha"

Miss Hong fled in shame. "Haha, hahaha"

The laughter on Hong Jin's hand has not stopped, but the muscles on his face are stiff and stiff, and his eyes are gloomy, as if a storm is coming.

He raised his hand and flicked it, and the light went out.

He slowly walked out of the study with his hands behind his back, and stood in the corridor watching his daughter's room go from lights on to out. With a slight touch of his toes, he rose up and disappeared into the vast snowy night.

When Hong Jinshou's figure reappeared, he landed in the wooden mansion.

Mu Lingdao's's throat passed through the wind and snow and floated over: "Who?"

"Hong Jinshou. ”

"Oh, Lord Hong. Please speak inside. ”

Hong Jinshou actually walked into Mu Lingdao's study very calmly. In fact, Mu Lingdao was not reading at all, but reclining on the Taishi chair, closing his eyes and recuperating. Perhaps, for him, sleeping in the study is far more cultured, cultivated and deep than in bed.

When Hong Jinshou walked in, Mu Lingdao sat up very politely, reached out to get the wine bottle on the bookshelf, I have to say, Mu Lingdao is a person who knows how to enjoy life, people's bookshelves are books, and his bookshelves are wine, there is no way, people have money and power, they are so capricious.

Of course, although people are rich people, they are not philanthropists, cats and dogs come to the wine and entertain, just like the eighth and ninth uncles of the dream family came to Mufu in the past, and asked him, he is not a bird, let alone wine and hospitality, almost too lazy to greet tea.

In other words, the people who can be entertained by the father-in-law of Mu Lingdao are by no means lightweight.

Facing the honor that many people crave, Lord Hong didn't seem to be interested, he waved his hand and said, "Does Grandpa Mu know about the Jiangnan Dockyard?"

Mu Lingdao thought for a while and said, "In the past, Fu Gongwei and the Huo family had a period of cooperation, and later, as you know, with the collapse of the Mengjia Group, the relationship was interrupted. As far as I know, the forces in Jiangnan have been reintegrated after the three less, and the four major families jointly control the business operations in Jiangnan, and the Huo family's customer resources have been brutally blocked, almost collapsing, in order to survive, the Huo family had to put down their bodies, bow to the alliance, and join the alliance. What's the matter, Lord Hong?"

Lord Hong said slowly: "I just learned that Sanshao has gone to Fusang on the Huo family boat. ”

Mu Lingdao shook and said, "When did it happen?"

Lord Hong said: "It is said that three days ago. ”

Mu Ling said, "Three days ago?"

Lord Hong said: "Hmm. ”

Mu Lingdao glanced at him, as if he wanted to ask him why he had happened three days ago, but he only said it at this moment. However, first, Master Hong said that he had just received the news, and second, the holy decree to restore his official position was also conveyed to him during the day today, and before that, he must not be blamed for fighting for his innocence. Mu Lingdao pondered for a while and said, "Lord Hong, what do you mean?"

Lord Hong secretly scolded the old fox, at this moment, it was clear what everyone meant, but he wanted to force him to make a statement, he was not a fuel-efficient lamp, rolling in the officialdom, which one is not the old oilman, yes, he said lightly: "I just passed a message to Grandpa Mu, and I really didn't think much about anything else." ”

"Hehe, okay, the miscellaneous family surrenders," Mu Lingdao smiled, "It's just that if the third young man suffers any misfortune, it's all because of your news, he day, your daughter will get up and find the miscellaneous family to ask for a husband, Lord Hong, you have to share more beside you, hahaha"

Speaking of this, Lord Hong's face sank like water, and a trace of deep apology flashed in his eyes.

Yume-san lies on the deck and feels the sky of the sea. Actually, there really isn't much to look forward to in the sea and sky.

Why?

First, the blue sky is like a wash, except for the occasional few seagulls flying by, there is nothing special to speak of.

Second, if there are clouds in the sky, you have to worry about these clouds now snow-white, like the face of a bear child, maybe one moment they were laughing happily, but the next moment they are suddenly covered with clouds and crying.

And the most frightening thing is that the cry of the sea and the sky is not as gentle as that on land, and the whirlpool produced by the pull of tornadoes, storms and gravitational infinitely amplified, overturned people and ships in minutes, capsized to the bottom of the sea, and the unfortunate ones were sucked into the eyes of the sea, pulled to nowhere, and turned into minerals after hundreds of thousands of years and millions of years. It was a four-masted ocean-going merchant ship.

Carrying ceramics, grain, and cloth from Middle-earth, it traveled east to Fuso for trade.

On board, in addition to a dozen or so shipwrights and sailors, there were more than a dozen dealers or agents, among them, there were two young couples, one because their wives were proficient in the Japanese language and could save money for the interpreters, and the other was newly married and had just gotten married and were traveling with their wives -- well, honeymoon tours, so happy.

Happy people are generally much happier than others.

So, along the way, it was the laughter of this couple.

After learning that they were a couple, Huo Su, the boss of the boat, arranged a cocktail banquet for everyone, especially to congratulate and bless the couple. Therefore, it is easy for everyone to remember the names of this pair of newcomers: the man Lin Liben, and the woman Bu Susu.

At sunset. The air was getting colder, and the wind was getting stronger.

When the last remnant of the sun was about to set, between the water and the sky, the magnificent sea surface, red like fire, looking from afar, the metal liquid under the high temperature, slowly surging, the silent and huge force of nature, unstoppable, let it swallow up, most people did not dare to look at it, and they went back to the cabin to prepare for dinner. Only two young couples and their dream classmates lying on the deck remained.

The woman, who was proficient in Japanese language, glanced at Yume-san and seemed to whisper a few words to her husband curiously.

Her husband seemed to be slightly stunned, and then, as if he was very casually turned his head to look at Classmate Meng, his eyes were flat, as if he was not looking at Classmate Dream, but the air next to Classmate Dream, and when he turned his head, he nodded to his wife. Lin Liben, the husband of the newcomers, snorted coldly and said "hypocrisy".

The four of them were all standing next to the side of the boat, and the couple were very smiling about the dreams of their classmates, and the couple naturally looked at them.

In the end, young people are not used to it, and they are easy to fight impulsively.

The man was not happy, and said coldly: "Who are you talking about?"

Lin Liben sneered and said, "Whoever thinks I'm talking about is who I'm talking about." ”

This man must have been in power for a short time, with a youthful arrogance, and his temper is not small, he rolled up his sleeves, as if he was about to open a shelf, and said hatefully: "Do you believe it or not, I can knock you down with one hand and throw you into the sea to feed the sharks?"

Lin Liben said: "I don't believe it. ”

The man was stunned, feeling that this plot seemed to be out of his script development, according to his assumption, at this tense moment, the person lying on the deck should know that the conflicts and disputes happened because of him, and he should have stood up to stop or at least make a sound, but when the corner of the man's eyes looked carefully, he actually closed his eyes completely, as if, let alone fighting here, even if the sky fell, he was indifferent.

The steps were gone, and the man only found one by himself, so he said in a sullen voice: "If you don't believe it, I can't help it, anyway, I'm hungry and don't have the strength to worry about you." Mother-in-law, let's go. ”

The man dragged his mother-in-law back to the cabin.

Lin Liben dragged his wife's hand and said, "This eldest brother probably doesn't want to be disturbed, let's go over there." ”

His wife Bu Susu said: "But the scenery is okay here, let's go over there."

"It doesn't matter. Yume-san opened his eyes and sat up.

Lin Liben paused and said, "Oh." It turns out that the eldest brother is not asleep. I thought it was "

Bu Susu said: "The eldest brother doesn't want to deal with some indifferent people, you think it's you, the dog bites you, and you can't wait to eat it whole." ”

Lin Liben smiled and said: "I have this temper, I can't see a person who pretends to be high but bites the root of his tongue." ”

Classmate Meng smiled and said, "There is a saying, which one is behind no one to say, and which one is not said in front of people." If you don't even give people the freedom to speak, isn't that too authoritarian and domineering?"

Bu Susu said: "Exactly." What the eldest brother said is reasonable. ”

Lin Liben exclaimed angrily: "Big brother, you are far away, you didn't hear it, you don't know, the two of them actually said that you are likely to be your wife and ran away with someone, you can't think about it, you will commit suicide by jumping into the sea at any time!"

Dream classmate, how could he not hear the couple's words?

It's just that he is generally selectively shielded from the words of these ordinary people, otherwise, could it be that a random person will dismantle people if he says a language he doesn't like?

If so, how many people are there who say that he is a big scoundrel and a big villain? Then isn't he going to kill so many people? In doing so, is he still a human being? How different is he from a wild beast that treats each other violently at every turn?

Dream is definitely not a tolerant person, but he is a very principled person, as long as he doesn't touch his bottom line, his tolerance is beyond your imagination.

The deck was cold, and even if Bu Susu was wearing a big cotton jacket and folded the corners of his thick coat, he couldn't help jumping up with the chill to the bone, and couldn't help but look at the dream classmate who was just wearing a thin green robe, his eyes were strange, and he said in his heart: "This man doesn't look sallow, as if he is malnourished and weak, but in fact, his body quality is not bad." ”

Let me explain a little here, during Meng's trip to Fusang, he had plastic surgery for himself, and when he started, he naturally substituted the role of a middle-aged man who entered Miaojiang that day.

It is also for this reason that led to the suspicion of the young couple just now, and it is not impossible for the image of a middle-aged man who is depressed and mentally depressed to be out of the game by his daughter-in-law.

Lin Liben smiled: "Su Su, do you only now see that the eldest brother is a strange person?"

Bu Susu nodded and said, "Yes." ”

Classmate Meng smiled bitterly and said: "What a strange person, on this ship, except for the flight attendants, they are all big bosses, either rich or expensive, I am just following a crew member and relatives to walk around, ordinary people with a long experience, where do you dare to make do with it, I am afraid that everyone will be lost." ”

Lin Liben showed a trace of helplessness in his eyes, he also knew that in this world, it was still quite realistic, although many people flaunted how noble they were, and the rich and the poor looked at each other, but when they really faced it, class differences will never be indelible. (To be continued.) )
