Chapter 42: The Admiral comes to propose marriage
Zhang Shaojun laughed out loud: "Your name is Shaoxing, and my name is Shaojun. Brother Shen, we are indeed destined."
Zhang Shaoyun was originally generous, but after studying in the UK for two years, her thoughts became more tolerant and open-minded. She was very different from domestic women of this era, but she had some demeanor of later generations of women.
Fang Muye had the life experience of Blue Star, and he was a man. He should have taken the initiative, but in the end he was always "teased" by Zhang Shaojun. He wanted to win back the game, so he looked at Zhang Shaojun without saying a word.
As a result, Zhang Shaojun did not speak and looked back dreamily.
Fang Muye had no choice but to say: "Shaoyun, there is something on your face."
Zhang Shaojun stretched out his hand to touch his face and asked doubtfully: "What is it?"
Fang Muye smiled proudly and said, "It's a bit pretty."
Zhang Shaoyun stopped moving his hands, looked at Fang Muye and smiled sweetly: "Then does Brother Shen like Shaoyun more?"
Ugh! Fang Muye was completely defeated.
Early on the next morning, Xu Guanhe and Yan Zhendong led a group of bidders to come to pick him up. Fang Muye wore a nine-python five-clawed python robe and a unicorn patchwork coat. Coupled with his demeanor of having been in a high position for a long time, his strong official authority was naturally revealed.
.
Fang Muye waved to Xu Guanhe, whispered in his ear, and Xu Guanhe immediately followed the order and left.
With Huang Feihong seeing him off, Fang Muye walked out of Baozhilin, got into the eight-carriage sedan, and a crowd of people rolled towards the Navy Admiral's Yamen.
Seeing this grand spectacle, Baozhilin's neighbors asked the people of Baozhilin one after another. When they learned that Baozhilin actually had such a deep official relationship, they sent a bunch of compliments, which made Pork Rongrong wait.
People's vanity has been greatly satisfied.
When Fang Muye and his party arrived at the Navy Admiral's Yamen, He Yunwen received the notice and hurried out to greet them.
Although he and Fang Muye were both admirals with first-grade official titles, he knew that Fang Muye had a close relationship with his immediate superior, Sun Cailiang, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, so he naturally wanted to please him.
He Yunwen came out and saw Fang Muye, and when he saw that his appearance was as young as the rumors, he couldn't help but murmured in his heart: He is really an old monster.
Instead, he laughed and bowed to Fang Muye: "Lord God, I have admired you for a long time."
Fang Muye returned the greeting politely and laughed: "Master He, I have admired you for a long time."
He Yunwen stretched out his hand and said, "Lord God, please!"
Fang Muye followed He Yunwen to the meeting hall, and the two of them sat down and exchanged pleasantries again.
He Yunwen just said: "Lord God, it's been a tiring journey all the way. I will host a banquet for you at Songhe Tower tonight to welcome you, and I also ask Lord God to honor you."
Fang Muye cupped his hands and smiled and said, "Thank you so much, Mr. He."
He Yunwen pondered for a moment and asked, "I wonder what your purpose is in coming to Foshan this time?"
Fang Muye reached out and patted a few cases, with a hint of indignation on his face, and said: "On the way Mr. Sun came to take office, some people blocked the road and complained about injustice. They said that he and many of his fellow villagers were deceived by Chinese compradors, signed a deed of betrayal, and went to Jinshan to work as coolies.
.”
"It's a long journey across the ocean. If you get sick, you won't be treated. If it's serious, you'll be thrown directly into the sea. When you get to Jinshan, you'll be marked on your body. If you try to escape, you'll be beaten to death. It's just a shame.
I, the Chinese, are pigs.”
"Master Sun was very angry when he heard about it. He specially ordered me to come and investigate the matter. I also hope that Master He can help me a lot."
He Yunwen slapped his chest seriously: "Since it is an order from the minister, I will fully cooperate with you."
After a pause, he continued: "I was lucky enough to have met Lord Butang a few years ago, and I admired him deeply at that time. However, I never had the opportunity to see him again. Now that Lord Butang has been transferred to Guangdong and Guangxi, I can't wait to go and see you immediately."
, but I didn’t get the news, so I didn’t dare to leave my post without permission, so I asked God to help introduce me.”
Fang Muye smiled and said, "It's easy to talk about."
After getting to know He Yunwen from many sources, he found that although He Yunwen had some shortcomings, he was still a good person overall. Fang Muye also wanted to have more contact with him to see if he could be brought into his camp.
The two of them chatted for two more cups of tea before Fang Muye said, "Brother He, I have some personal matters that I need to deal with, so I'll leave first."
"Brother God, if you have anything to do, please go and do your own business. Brother, I will be waiting for you at Songhe Tower tonight!" He Yunwen replied with a smile.
One of them was deliberately recruiting, the other was deliberately trying to please. After a while, they had already begun to call each other brothers.
He Yunwen sent Fang Muye straight out of the Yamen gate, and then said goodbye with a look of reluctance.
As for Zhang Shaojun, when Fang Muye left Baozhilin, she also left with him and returned to her home.
When Zhang Weng saw Zhang Shaojun coming back, he said affectionately: "My dear daughter is back. Did she know that her father will leave tomorrow, so did she come back to spend more time with her father?"
Zhang Shaojun said with a smile: "Dad, I'm afraid you may not be able to leave."
Zhang Weng asked in confusion: "Why did my daughter say this?"
Zhang Shaoyun looked happy: "Someone will come to propose marriage to you later."
"Ah? Someone came to propose marriage?" Zhang Weng was so shocked that his eyes widened and his mouth opened slightly.
I had just returned from England a few days ago, and why did someone come to propose marriage? It was too fast, and there was no sign at all.
Although this girl is noisy and it would be good to get married as soon as possible, but it was so sudden and she didn't take my father to heart at all.
And looking at her daughter's happy expression, she is obviously very satisfied and fond of this man. She is even happier than seeing her own father. She is really not a good girl!
Thinking of this, Zhang Weng immediately asked with a straight face: "Who is it?"
Zhang Shaoyun said in a mysterious voice: "Oh, you will know when he comes."
She didn't say anything, and Zhang Weng had nothing to do, but he had already made up his mind to show off to the brat who stole his precious daughter.
For this reason, Zhang Weng specially put on a suit of gold and expensive clothes and dressed up carefully. He also tried different pronunciations to see which one sounded more powerful, hoping to get the upper hand.
When he was ready, he started waiting for someone to come to the door. As he waited and waited, Zhang Weng couldn't help but become impatient. He took out his pocket watch again and again to check the time. It was almost eleven o'clock, and the person hadn't come yet. Zhang Weng felt a little bit in his heart.
Angry: Hey, this brat has a lot of airs!
He looked at his daughter sitting beside him and couldn't help but ask: "Daughter, is that person coming yet?"
Although Zhang Shaoyun was a little anxious while waiting, he still comforted his father and said, "Dad, he will definitely come if he says he will come. Maybe there are some things that have delayed him."
Zhang Weng complained nonchalantly: "Is he the only one who has something to do, and others have nothing to do? Who does he think he is, Mr. Futai?"
Zhang Shaojun looked at Zhang Weng and smiled slyly, but said nothing.
At this time, a servant ran over in panic, shouting as he ran: "Master, Master..."
Zhang Weng was already angry, but when he saw the servant's appearance, he scolded: "How unbecoming you are in such a hurry!"
The servant ran up to him, panting heavily and looking frightened: "Sir, Lord Lu Lu, Lord Lu Lu Admiral has come to propose marriage!"
