Jin Yu Dynasty

It's not that Lin Qijun deliberately didn't go to the Bai family's appointment.

He has always been a young man who loves beauty. After finishing his work at Daxing Foreign Firm during the day, he found a wrinkle on the hem of his suit, which was not very good-looking, so he went home by car, intending to change into a silk gown before going to Bai Yunfei.

Here in the capital, the Lin family is not an old mansion with an area of ​​tens of acres like their hometown.

Lin Qijun is young at heart, and likes to be European in everything. When he first arrived, he bought a very delicate three-story small western-style building with a garden from a bankrupt banker, and used it as a temporary place to live.

The car stopped at the gate of Lin's house, and the driver came over and opened the door for Lin Qijun.

As soon as his feet landed, a footman ran out of the gate, with a flustered expression on his face, he leaned into Lin Qijun's ear and said in a low voice, "Master, the old lady is here. If you want you to come back, go to the study to see her."

When Lin Qijun heard this, his face changed slightly.

He hurriedly walked into the gate and asked the servant as he walked, "Why did mother come suddenly? Why did you want to see me all of a sudden? What are you doing to eat? You should call the foreign company, so I can find out sooner..."

The servant said with a bitter face: "The old lady said that you are not allowed to call to tell you. Who would dare to go against her wishes? I see her old man's face, it is really not very good, young master, you should be careful to agree."

Lin Qijun went up the stairs in three steps and two steps. Looking at the door of the study at the other end of the corridor, his steps suddenly slowed down.

Taking a breath, he deliberately walked slowly and calmly to the door.

Looking down at himself, he wiped the wrinkle on the hem of the suit with his palm, raised his hand and knocked lightly on the door.

Immediately, I heard a person inside say, "Come in."

It was the familiar voice of my mother.

Lin Qijun heard the sternness in that voice, he felt uneasy, but he had already knocked on the door, and he had to go in, so he had to push the door and go in. When he saw his mother, he stood at the door first, called "Mother", and slowly Walking up to her, he smiled and asked, "When did you arrive? Don't tell me. I should pick you up at the station."

Mrs. Lin is a typical old-fashioned person, unsmiling, about 40 years old, wearing a dark blue silk coat with an old-fashioned style, and sitting in a grand chair.

Lin Qijun spoke to her, but she ignored her, her eyes rolled sideways, and she just stared at him fixedly.

When Lin Qijun was stared at by her, his heart was pounding even more, and he smiled unnaturally, and said, "You still don't like sitting on the sofa. In fact, the sofa in my study room is very comfortable to sit on. Why don't you give it a try?" I want to bring up the heavy chair from the first floor.”

Mrs. Lin just opened her mouth, and she said very coldly, "Kneel down."

Lin Qijun was taken aback, but didn't dare to ask, and just knelt down in front of his mother honestly.

Mrs. Lin shouted on top of his head: "You are lawless, can you be more presumptuous?"

Lin Qijun smiled wryly and said, "I don't know why you are angry..."

The old lady Lin said angrily: "You have handed over our Lin family's foreign firm to foreigners. Look at the high mountains and the emperor's distance. Your father and I don't know, do you? Damn it!" Lin Qijun's heart sank.

The matter of allowing foreigners to participate in the shares was done in the capital. He knew that his family might disagree, so he never said it. He also prohibited the stewards of the capital from reporting to Guangdong.

I originally planned to wait until next year to make some sensuality, and it will not be too late to report.

My mother is also a housekeeper and a businessman. As long as she sees the benefits of cooperating with foreigners and listens to herself talking about the difficult times, she will naturally feel relieved.

Who thought the news would spread there so quickly?

Lin Qijun hated the unknown informer so much that his teeth itch, but he didn't dare to show any resentment on his face, and said cautiously: "Mother, this matter is hard to explain... I was also forced by the customs, so I had to find a foreigner. Be a backer."

Tell me about the customs inspection.

He also said: "You often say that the people don't fight with the officials. I also tried to deal with the customs, but they wanted to kill me. If I hadn't heard the news a day earlier, our foreign firm would have been confiscated that day. It’s not what it looks like now. The foreigners are powerful now, and they have a share. Our Lin family will suffer a little money loss, and we will share some profits with them, but we can be saved.”

Mrs. Lin snorted and said, "Our Lin family has been in business for generations. We have seen many storms and never asked foreigners to protect you. You keep saying that the customs will not let you go. Isn't the head of the customs, Bai Xuelan, your classmate? Why doesn't he Embarrassing others, only embarrassing you?"

Lin Qijun said, "I didn't know, he was the one who disliked me."

Mrs. Lin scolded: "Shut up! Do you really think I'm an old fool? I don't know that you are jealous with others outside because of that surname Xuan? How many times have I told you about Xuan Huaifeng, don't provoke me. Don't provoke me! You just don't listen! His father is a warlord who kills people without degrading his eyes, his sister is a shrew, and when he was studying, it was rumored that he was indiscriminate with other people, and they all lay on the same bed. His father found out, and sent him abroad to cover up his embarrassment. The whole family is not a good guy, and you just love being close to him!"

Lin Qijun was stunned for a while, but for some reason, he felt very uncomfortable, and boldly said: "He is not so bad. When Commander Xuan was still alive, I took him to play at home, didn't you appreciate him a lot?" Do you write seven words? Say he writes well."

Mrs. Lin poked the tip of his nose with her finger, and shouted, "You! You are out of your mind! Talking to your mother like this!"

Unable to draw a breath, he fell back while clutching his heart.

Lin Qijun panicked, got up from the ground quickly, supported his mother and called, "What's wrong with you? Don't worry, take a breath."

He rang the bell desperately to call the footman to pour water.

The servant immediately poured a cup of warm water, and Lin Qijun hurriedly took it, and personally fed his mother a drink or two. While stroking her back, he said: "My son is wrong. You can beat and scold me, why are you so angry? Take a break." rest."

Mrs. Lin managed to calm down, her face was as white as paper, and for a moment, she half closed her eyes, shaking her lips like dead leaves, and said: "I can't help my mother, your wings are hard, just be mad at me. At home Since all of my business is in your hands, I have fulfilled my responsibilities, and now, I will die early..."

Lin Qijun's back felt cold, and he smiled wryly, "What are you talking about? I wrongly killed my son."

Old lady Lin opened her eyes suddenly, stared at him and said sharply: "You are wronged? I am more wronged than you! Ever since your father was paralyzed on the bed, I haven't spared a single day. Isn't it because of you? Because you can take over in the future The foundation of the Lin family? Well, now, because of a person surnamed Xuan, you are going to offend a person surnamed Bai. In order to deal with this person surnamed Bai, you gave half of the foundation property of the Lin family to foreigners. Young master Lin, you are so bold! Damn it, raising you... a thing that forgets its ancestors!"

Pushing Lin Qijun, he stood up tremblingly while supporting the armrest of the Taishi chair.

Lin Fenjun respected and feared this mother, he was pushed back a step by her, and quickly came to support her, saying: "Mother, please calm down. My son made a mistake, just correct it, don't get angry."

Mrs. Lin sneered and asked, "Change? Can you change it?"

Lin Qijun said, "Of course. I haven't seen Xuan Huaifeng for a long time."

Mrs. Lin shouted: "Don't mention that shameless thing in front of me!"

Lin Qijun could only make no promises.

Mrs. Lin said: "Okay, since you said to change it, I will believe you once today. If you do it, we will still be mother and son. If you can't do it, don't come home from now on, just stay in the capital." , live your happy life, even if your father and I die, don’t come back to attend the funeral. If you don’t take my words to heart and dare to go back to Guangzhou, someone will invite the patriarch to come out and show you the family law of the Lin family! "

Lin Qijun frowned and said, "This kind of condition is too harsh. Even if I can't do what you mentioned, it's just that I don't have enough ability. Could it be that because my son is incapable, even my parents and family will abandon me?"

The old lady Lin said sharply: "Lin Qijun! Are you using your business experience to deal with your mother? Now, negotiate with me? Then we have nothing to say!"

Lin Qijun hurriedly said: "No no, mother, you said, I am omnipotent."

Mrs. Lin said: "Give me back the foreign ginseng shares immediately. Our Lin family's business has always been unique. Let alone foreigners, even Chinese people will not share it. If you are not a member of the Lin family, you are not allowed to hold it." The shares of the Lin family."

Lin Qijun showed embarrassment, and said: "This...I'm afraid it's not suitable. We signed the contract. It's the most honest business..."

Mrs. Lin said: "What is the contract? At most, I will pay the foreign devil a sum of money. Anyway, the Lin family must not be affected by foreigners. The court changed, the Boxers killed people and set fires, and foreign guns and cannons were scattered all over the world. Didn’t he survive? Why do we, a dutiful businessman, partner with foreigners? Holding foreigners’ stinky thighs is a betrayal of our ancestors! His spine will be broken! If your grandfather is alive, he will know that you did this kind of licking of foreigners’ feet Do you expect that you can still live here safely as a young master? Have someone take you back early, and deal with you! You must do this for me, otherwise, it will be what I just said!"

When Lin Qijun listened to her words, he didn't have the slightest leeway.

He sighed wistfully.

Mrs. Lin said decisively: "Don't act so aggrieved in front of me. Clean up the good things you did yourself! Also, from today onwards, you are not allowed to associate with the Xuan family anymore. I see that after you arrive in the capital, Completely changed a person, prostitutes and actors, promiscuous and indulgent, doing everything. Not only the Xuan family, but also other unscrupulous people are not allowed to make friends with anyone! I heard that you recently got mixed up with a guy named Bai Yunfei, right?"

Lin Qijun bowed his head and said, "Mother, don't listen to people's gossip. I'm busy with foreign business affairs now, and I have no contact with this person for a long time."

Mrs. Lin sneered and said, "You know best whether you have a relationship or not. I was entrusted by your father, who was dying of illness, to take the train for such a miserable journey. His entrustment was not fulfilled, and I can't do it for a day." Go back. I will live here, let’s see how this capital has corrupted you from an upright young man.”

Lin Qijun forced a smile and said: "Mother wants to stay here, of course it would be great, I'm afraid that you will leave in a hurry when you come."

He rang the bell again, called the servant over, and asked him, "The old lady is going to stay here for a while, you waiters have been careful to me. Has the old lady's luggage been settled? Hurry up and vacate the master room where I sleep. That room is equipped with hot water pipes. I’m afraid the old man’s hairdressing maid didn’t bring it, so I ask the best hairdresser in the city to come over every day, and it’s six o’clock in the morning, so don’t be late.”

After setting things up inside and out, a little girl came and invited them to eat in the small dining room on the first floor.

So far, Lin Qijun has completely forgotten about Bai Xuefei's dinner appointment.

+ + + + +

However, although he had forgotten Bai Yunfei, no one had forgotten him.

After dinner and another lesson, Lin Qijun kept his duty as a son of man, so he could only wait on him with his hands down, bowing his head.

Finally, Mrs. Lin looked tired, and he hurriedly sent his mother to the room on the second floor, said some soft words, said good night to his mother, and then tiptoed out.

Because he gave up his master room for his mother to sleep in, he temporarily moved to the suite on the first floor.

The servant saw him go down to the first floor, went up to meet him and said, "Sir, your bed is ready. Let me fetch a basin of hot water and wash your face?"

Lin Qijun didn't look good, and said, "What kind of hot water is there? The suite on the first floor is also connected to a boiler and equipped with hot water pipes. It's just that no one lives there and the water gate is closed. How long have you been working here? You don't even have this." Understood? Tell someone to open the water gate on the first floor.”

After entering the suite, I felt a chill down my spine, and I was actually sweating.

The shirt sticks to the skin, which is extremely uncomfortable.

Lin Qijun frowned, took off his suit, looked at the uneven folds that intentionally provoked him, suddenly an evil fire rushed to his forehead, gritted his teeth, and threw the silk suit that he had only worn once to the ground. He fell, and the leather shoes stepped on the expensive fabric, stepping hard.

knock knock.

Suddenly someone knocked on the door.

Lin Qijun was taken aback, raised his head and stared in the direction of the door, and asked, "Who?"

The servant said outside: "Young master, your phone number."

Lin Qijun heaved a sigh of relief, with a sullen expression on his face, and said after a while, "Got it."

He kicked the suit on the ground to the corner with his bright leather toe, opened the door and went out, went to the telephone booth, picked up the microphone and asked, "I'm Qijun Lin, where are you?"

The other party smiled at the other end of the microphone, "Master Lin, you are so busy."

Lin Qijun heard Zhan Luzhao's voice, which was another nemesis. He sighed in frustration, laughed twice, and said enthusiastically, "How can I be so busy with my little business? The army commander is doing it." It's a big deal. Is there anything I need to do next? Tell me something, and I will never refuse."

Zhan Luzhao said: "Okay, you are refreshing, and I am refreshing too. Tomorrow, my acquaintance has a batch of goods, and I will borrow your boat to cross the land."

Lin Qijun fell silent.

Seeing that he shouldn't, Zhan Lu smiled and said, "I just let you know, not begging you. You should be smart and tell the people on board as soon as possible. Honestly, there are a few things missing. I just look for you."

Lin Qijun said, "Understood. But..."

Zhan Luzhao asked, "But what?"

Lin Qijun hesitated and said, "There is one thing I would like to ask you to do."

Zhan Luzhao asked, "What's the matter?"

Lin Qijun said: "Mr. Charters, you are an acquaintance with the military commander. My family members know about my cooperation with him, and they have some opinions. They say they hope he can withdraw the shares. Of course, Mr. Charters money I will try my best to make up for the loss in the world..."

Zhan Luzhao laughed coldly on the phone, and said, "It's none of my business. I introduced you, but I didn't connect you. Your kid used someone as a knife to deal with Bai Xuelan. Now I want to cross the bridge." Smacking? Those blond-haired, blue-eyed foreigners all grew up eating raw meat. It would be good if he didn’t swallow you, flesh and bones. Do you have the guts to smack him? Huh, it’s up to you? I just look at you end."

Lin Qijun thought of the identity of Mr. Charters, the high-ranking relative behind him, and his heart sank.

If the other party refuses to withdraw the shares, Daxing Foreign Bank is no better than them in terms of power and reason, and can only be in a helpless predicament.

It's just that my own mother doesn't know how to understand my own difficulties.

How can the old stuff in my hometown be copied and used in the capital?

Lin Qijun was at a loss, when Zhan Luzhao suddenly asked, "Can you still visit Bai Xuelan's mansion now?"

Lin Qijun was startled, and subconsciously said: "We are at a deadlock now, and it's hard to see each other. What's wrong with the Bai Mansion?"

Zhan Luzhao said, "The newspaper said that the head of the customs office killed bandits outside the city, did you know that?"

Lin Qijun said, "Of course I know, this incident caused a lot of trouble."

Zhan Luzhao said: "I'm the bandit leader. Damn it! I hugged and kissed him outside the city, but Bai Xuelan killed him on the way, and led someone to rob him. Bai Xuelan killed me more than ten years ago. This subordinate also kidnapped Xuan Huaimin. This time he really lost his wife and lost his army. I see that Xuan Huaimin is still in his hands. The batch of corpses sent to the police station, Lao Zhou said, there is no such little bitch in it .”

Swearing a bunch of unbearable swear words.

Lin Qijun's heart shrank suddenly, and the blood on his body seemed to congeal suddenly, and he couldn't move. After a while, he gently tested, "You said that outside the city...is Huaifeng? You almost got it?"

Zhan Luzhao said: "Who else but him? He is also ruthless enough. He shot at me with a pistol, but fortunately he ran out of bullets. His grandma's. When he is in my hands, let's see how he pays the bill." .”

He insulted Xuan Huaifeng, Lin Qijun was full of anger when he heard it, but he didn't dare to curse at him, he frowned and asked, "How is Huaifeng now?"

Zhan Luzhao said: "Bai Xuelan snatched him back and hid him in the mansion all the time. Recently, he finally came out twice, each time with guards, followed by two cars behind him, so you can't get close to him in the city. You In the mansion surnamed Bai, is there anyone who can buy news?"

Lin Qijun said: "If there is someone who can buy information, I would have bought it long ago. Bai Xuelan is strict in running the family, and the servants and guards are all afraid of him, so who dares to sell the information inside. I will think about a way in this regard later. "

After saying a few more words, I hung up the phone.

Going back to the room, sitting on the edge of the bed, I also forgot that my body was sticky with sweat, and sat down on the sofa to show symptoms.

Thinking of his mother's harsh words for a while, and thinking of the consequences of offending Angel Charters for a while, he was filled with depression, and suddenly remembered that he had missed the dinner appointment with Bai Yunfei.

He had to go to the phone booth again, make a call to Bai Yunfei, and explain why he didn't show up today, but he just couldn't bring himself to do so.

Putting aside the fact that Bai Yunfei is not in the mood to appease Bai Yunfei at this moment, if he let his mother know that he called an actor at night again, it would be another hard lesson, why bother?

He put the matter of Bai Yunfei aside, and Xuan Huaifeng's figure broke into the heart lake again.

Zhan Luzhao said that he "hugged and kissed him outside the city", Lin Qijun felt pain inside, and his liver and intestines were so uncomfortable that he twisted his hands, and dripping acid juice would come out.

This uneducated soldier is also worthy of hugging Huaifeng's body and kissing Huaifeng's mouth?

Xuan Huaifeng's exquisite face, light-colored thin lips, holding a book, and bowing his head with a reserved and elegant smile, seemed to have been firmly engraved in the bottom of his heart for many years, and the thick layer of ash was washed away by the acid juice, Immediately came to life.

"Huaifeng..."

Lin Qijun couldn't help calling out the name, and the next moment he was afraid of being discovered, and suddenly covered his mouth tightly.

But it hurts more and more unwilling.
