Chapter 21: What

1915 was a year of great reversal for Hefu. With surpassing the Swedish craftsmanship, the foreigners match factory in Kunming was brought down in one fell swoop, and soap and new style cloth were pushed to the middle and small wealthy homes.
From a grand perspective, Master He, who was born as a landowner, became the richest man in the Ming Dynasty in Yunnan with the blowout development of this year. He also sponsored the Northern Expedition of patriotic generals such as Cai Yan.
On the small side, the scale of Hefu has expanded again. The deep-walled courtyard has become a wealthy home. And all of this is because of one person, the great benefactor in the heart of Master He Fangjiong. A genius with a vision like a torch, deeply educated in Western learning, and even capable of developing technology on his own.
Ming knows the gratitude in his heart, Zhang Shusheng has no shame. Yes, his own things come from a dream machine, but at least he is a lucky man with civilians in his heart, and he is going to fight for them, and for this nation.
Those who are lucky should not be jealous. Those who should be poked at the backbone are those who have far more luck than ordinary people, but their eyes, ears, nose, and nose are higher than ordinary people. Those who have come from riches and government officials in the later generations, or have high toes or grassy lives When civilians such as pigs and dogs are rich, the second generation of officials and the second generation are ten million times stronger.
"Shu Shengxian's nephew, come on, come on!"
Tong He Fangjiong waved back his wife and opened a chair for Zhang Shusheng himself, so that he and himself took the lead. There was a small table of eight immortals in the room, and there were six sets of tableware and utensils. The dishes had not been served yet.
Zhang Shusheng looked at it at will, this house is also a noble home, maybe because of entertaining himself, the tableware should be fine white porcelain dishes with superb color and chopsticks that are extremely suspected of ivory.
"Today there are no outsiders, they are all their own family, so you don't have to see anyone outside Shu Sheng!"
"Mr. He is polite, he is all his own."
After the two of them took their seats, He Fangjiong smiled and appeased the nephew he had identified, clapped his hands, and the housekeeper came in.
"Go and call Mrs. Master and Miss."
It turned out to be a family banquet, and the children were twinned. Zhang Shusheng was so moved that Master He was really prosperous in his family and career.
Soon, the housekeeper brought a group of Mrs. He's, and a dignified and gentle middle-aged woman brought in two "children".
The middle-aged woman was dressed in a decent cheongsam, and left handed a young boy, about seven or eight years old, wearing a small bow dress. Standing on the right is a beautiful older girl who is 13 or 14 years old.
"This……"
I looked at everything in front of me, Zhang Shusheng almost had an incredible feeling. The five or six-year-old cute little boy is just fine. The the right is really beautiful.
A well-dressed beige concise small dress, slightly taller than her peers, a slender body, a small melon seed beauty face, a small bow on her hair, a quiet face like water, without a powder, but there is a smart, watery spirit , As if not dusty.
Especially those eyes, water and spirit, there is no market slyness and cunning that the world usually has, but a kind of light, watery, very aura eyes.
It is hard to imagine that the girls of the Republic of China in the thirteenth or fourteenth century in this era should have short ears, short skirts with curled tops, and long knee skirts, always holding a beloved book in their hands.
But the girl in front of her was dressed in a very different way in the eyes of this era, with a beautiful angel face and a serene look, which completely overwhelmed Zhang Shusheng's impression.
Looking at Zhang Shusheng's fascination, He Fangjiong can be regarded as an old consolation. In the eyes of outsiders, he is the richest man in the new Yunnan. He thinks that he is most proud of his career, but only he knows it. Children are his most intimate baby.
"Shu Sheng, this is your sister-in-law."
Hearing the introduction of his wife by He Fangjiong, Zhang Shusheng returned to his heart completely, thinking that he was afraid to lose his mind. I used to say that the beautiful girls in the Republic of China had more aura than the modern girls, and those hearts were missing. And pretentiousness, now, at first sight, it is true.
"Why good!"
"Shu Shengxian's nephew should not be polite, but the master often mentions you, saying that you are the benefactor of our family." Decent and decent, at first glance, is a woman of great cultivation.
"He Ning, He An, come here and see your Shusheng brother." He Fangjiong greeted the two children, the little one ran over shaking his head, black eyes rolled slowly, shouting fragilely: "Hello Brother Shusheng!"
However, He Ning, who was thirteen or fourteen years old, was somewhat ashamed, biting her red lips slightly, but couldn't come over and didn't speak.
"What's the matter with your child. Huh!" Seeing his daughter shyly, He Fangjiong was a little angry, thinking that even his father and father's words were not good enough, they were used to by her mother on weekdays.
He Hening was trained by He Fangjiong, his eyes were suddenly misty, his mouth was slightly opened, but he still didn't shout out, and he couldn't come. Zhang Shusheng felt a little bit crying when he saw this. This is considered to have seen the real family style of every lady in the Republic of China. He Ning is not stained with dust. It is estimated that even the door has not been out. Little etiquette need not be said:
"Boss Ho, don't force her, it's almost noon."
"Yes, yes, start the meal first. Butler let the people serve." He Fangjiong signaled his wife to let both children sit, and He Ning returned to her natural face and sat opposite Zhang Shusheng.
"I said Shu Sheng, your uncle He has always regarded you as a nephew. This boss's name is really out of sight."
"Yes, yes, my wife said that after he was born, Mr. Shu was not allowed to call me Mr. He or Mr. He was short. To say the boss, I should call you right, haha ​​..." He Fangjiong was very happy today, for himself What the wife said is more reasonable.
"That Shusheng is more respectful than obedience." Zhang Shusheng smiled, but his eyes were always consciously or unconsciously looking at He Ning, who was calm and quiet. The whole table was the quietest person, just sitting quietly and listening. He An, the little guy next to him, was different. He took ivory chopsticks and poked at him. He was glared by Mrs. Fangjiong secretly.
Amaranth soon came up. Fortunately, it was not extravagant. Seven or eight dishes were exquisite, but not luxurious. They were hot and cold, and they were very suitable for Zhang Shusheng.
When a table is officially opened, the old Chinese habit is that the table is the dinner table, and that's what matters.
"Uncle He, your business is getting bigger and bigger now, but you must pay attention not to be too tired." Zhang Shusheng said.
He Fangjiong took a small sip, Zhang Shusheng didn't drink, didn't force him, and drank a few glasses of wine, and this interest came. When he mentioned his career, he was somewhat proud, he laughed: "Tuo Shusheng Your blessing, this business is really big now. I think a few years ago, just a match factory, I had to be squeezed by the foreigners to survive. Now, hum, even his foreign devils must go to me Far away to open the factory, opened a family and closed him down. The pressure on prices also killed them. "
Hearing He Fangjiong's rhetoric, Mrs. He smiled slightly and said, "You don't know Shu Sheng, now your uncle is busy and dark in the factory below every day. Match factory, spinning mill, garment factory, soap factory It ’s true that the bigger the business, the more tired the person is. No, it ’s time for Ninger to go to the middle school. I used to study at home, but I do n’t see him caring more after going to Kunming.

"Hehe!" Zhang Shusheng chuckled.
At a table, people talked while eating. He Fangjiong was very interested. He drank one by one and kept drinking.
"What does a woman's family know, who said that I don't forget about Ning'er? Huh." The rise of He Fangjiong did not want to have general knowledge with women, and turned to Zhang Shusheng: "Shu Sheng, you are afraid that there are no less than a dozen factories in your company Let ’s go home. Is this person busy? I do n’t think you ’re too young, but do n’t delay your marriage!
Alas, Zhang Shusheng heard of the marriage event, and almost sipped his tea. He was twenty-one years old this year. Before he put it, it was a student cub who had not stepped out of the university gate. In the past year, in order to develop Lishuping, to develop Xiaoqingshan, and to expand his influence and sphere of influence as soon as possible, he has been working hard at Xiaoqingshan with painstaking efforts, and has never really considered marriage.
I must know that it is now 1016. At this age, in this age, you should be ready to hug your children like Laixi.
"Master, you drink too much, everyone who asks Shu Sheng is embarrassed." Although Mrs. He said so, the corner of her mouth was smiling, making Zhang Shusheng incomprehensible.
"I did n’t drink much. I was like this child when I was born. I am smart, have a courageous attitude, and have a good way. He is proficient in Western science, good at researching technology, and even the Swiss match was driven out of Yunnan by his formula. This is the biggest fact. Madam, you do n’t understand. I told you that Shu Sheng ’s child will have a bright future. Nothing else, now on the battlefield in Europe, hundreds of thousands of people wear his factory to produce it. The clothes are at war ... well, good wine ... you see Ninger at home ... wow, good wine, get me some more ... "
"Master, you really drink too much. Come here, take the master to the backyard to rest." Seeing that Zhang Fang Jiong was getting drunk more and more, Zhang Shusheng said with a mouthful of wine, even if he stunned, little angel Ho Ning's face turned redder than He Fangjiong who had drank the wine. Madam He called someone and sent He Fangjiong back to rest.
"Shu Sheng, look at this. Really, the lord is just the couple, and I am happy to see you today ..." Mrs. He secretly blame her lord, didn't she say she just met today, said so much to do? .
"It's okay, sister-in-law, you have to take care of Uncle He. I'll have enough to eat and drink, so I will leave first." Zhang Shusheng was a little confused, and he would stay a little longer when he saw the situation, ready to leave.
"Okay, Shu Sheng, you will come often in the future. Lest you uncle He miss you often."
Zhang Shusheng agreed, and even though he left the house and walked in the yard, it was strange that the housekeeper did not give away the guests, but a sound of nature sounded behind him.
"me……"
He looked back, He Ning, a pure and refined face with some redness, stood there, lowering his head slightly, grasping the corner of the garment with his left hand, and hiding his right hand behind him.
"He Ning?" Zhang Shusheng turned around, took a few steps, and stopped three steps away from her. "What's matter?"
Wu Hening seemed to have made a great deal of determination, raised his head, and Zhang Shusheng looked trembling with a beautiful and pure face. "My mother has to take care of father and let me see you off."
"Hmm!" Zhang Shusheng didn't know what to think, and surprisingly didn't object, the guards were waiting outside the gate of Hefu, and he was just one person.
Neither of them spoke, Zhang Shusheng walked to the left, He Ning lowered his head to the right, and started to circle around the courtyard where He Fu entered and exited.
Zhang Shusheng was pretending to be calm, but always wanted to look at the 14-year-old girl next to her. In 1916, the girl was a bit premature compared to her own era. And there is something very special about her, always attracting herself, if not, UU reading www.uukanshu.com may be the breeze that sends the refreshing lotus fragrance.
He Ning, with her head down, stared at small leather shoes, bit her lip and didn't speak, but she thought about what her father said to herself last night, and her face turned redder, her heart was more chaotic, and she was shy. There is tension, weakness, and unwillingness.
I walked and didn't know how long it had elapsed. Zhang Shusheng never felt He Fu was so big. He looked up and suddenly collapsed.
The two ghosts walked away for a long time, and actually returned to their places.
"I ..." He Ning also found that he had gone the wrong way, and absent-minded himself had gone the wrong way in his own house, taking a big turn. ring. Son is back.
"What do you want to say?" Zhang Shusheng turned his head, and the afternoon sun shone from the tip of his eyebrow.
He Hening avoided the sun slightly, looked at this good-looking man, was asking himself, and thought of what his father said. Then I said a little worriedly: "You, do you think women should go to school?"
Woman? Zhang Shu gave birth to a while, and He Ning in front of her could only be called a girl. Why not read a book? Of course I had to read a book, smiled, and said, "Of course I should read a book. In the future, if I have the opportunity, I will see you in Kunming's girls' school."
"Um. Then I'll go back first."
"it is good!"
Zhang Shusheng did not return until He Ning's figure disappeared at the corner of the corridor, cursing himself for saying something that was just as nutritious as plain water. But my heart was sweet, and there was a feeling that I had never felt before, rising from my heart. Looking at the setting sun in the west, he felt extraordinarily beautiful, sniffing the faint fragrance in the wind, as if it had just been blown from a distance by the wind.
"He Ning, what a nice name!"
