Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty

"Miss."

Chen Xiuming is sitting at the desk and reading a book. She has been interested in the records of Emperor Kangxi since she was very young, whether it is official history or unofficial history, and now she has developed deep respect for this emperor with great wisdom.

The book in my hand was sent back by a classmate who went abroad to study. This book was written by an unknown painter who stayed in the Qing Dynasty at that time. The classmate knew that she liked to collect books about Emperor Kangxi and found it carefully. She was not happy to see some of them, and looked at the servant who knocked on the door and came in with some displeasure.

"What's the matter?" Even though she was unhappy, Chen Xiuming still knew the seriousness, and she wouldn't come to her room if there was something important at this time.

"Master came back from Shangjing, and he brought a friend with him and told Miss to meet him in case we don't know each other later." This servant has been in the mansion for several years, and he knows that it is Chen Xiuming who is reading at this time. time.

"Understood, go tell father that I will go down in a while."

"Hey." The maid closed the door behind her when she left.

Chen Xiuming put a ginkgo leaf into the book and used it as a bookmark, put down the book and sat down in front of the dressing table.I asked the maid to answer first, but I had to tidy up carefully, I didn’t go out today, I was lazy for no reason, I was afraid that my hair would be messed up or my clothes were disheveled, I would be rude to others, I took a closer look and touched a layer of lip balm before I left the room go.

When Chen Xiuming went downstairs, the butler said that Father Chen had taken the guests to the garden. When he walked outside the pavilion in the garden, he saw two people sitting on chairs with their backs to him, as if admiring the koi in the pond.

"Father." Calling someone, Chen Xiuming seemed to see a trace of frivolity in his eyes when the person beside Chen's father turned his head, but when he looked closely, he only felt that the person was a gentle and unparalleled gentleman.

"This is my little girl's embroidered tea. Nowadays, I like to read books when I am in a women's school. If Mo Yan wants to read books, I will ask her to find them in the study or go out to buy them." Father Chen said with a smile, "This is what I met in Shangjing." Boss Jin, you will be staying at home during this time."

"I have a lot of things to deal with when I come back today, so I will leave first. Xiuming, you take Boss Jin around, and I should be back by dinner time." Father Chen has been away from Suzhou for nearly a month, so there is naturally a backlog of things .

"Boss Chen, go slowly." Jin Moyan nodded to Father Chen.

"Uncle Jin..." After Chen's father left, Chen Xiuming's eyes flickered, and he called Jin Moyan, but was interrupted.

"Although I'm not yet [-] years old, I'm not too young. Miss Chen calls me uncle, but I don't like people reminding me that I'm not young anymore. Miss Chen can just call me Mr. Jin or Boss Jin." " Jin Moyan interrupted Chen Xiuming, with a look of displeasure on his face.

Chen's father is not Chen Xiuming's biological father. More than ten years ago, when Chen's father took his pregnant wife through Suzhou, his wife died of dystocia and he was left alone. On the day of his wife's funeral, he happened to meet Chen Xiuming who was thrown on the side of the road. , Thinking that this is fate, he brought her back to the Chen family and raised her like her own daughter.In the past ten years or so, I don't know why Chen's father's business has grown bigger and bigger, and the people he knows have become more powerful. Because of this, two years ago, because an official he met made a mistake and was imprisoned, he was implicated recently. Over time, the Chen family's business became more and more difficult.

It's not that Chen's father can't let go of the business at hand. He suffered a lot of losses before, but his savings over the years are enough to allow several generations to live a lifetime of wealth. He is afraid that he will give up everything to work in the factory. Thousands of people will lose their jobs.

It's hard to find a job these days, and half of what Chen's father owns are food factories, grain stores, and restaurants. Thirty percent of the grain stores in Suzhou are owned by the Chen family. , Coupled with the fact that there are many unemployed people, I am afraid that there will be chaos for a while.

Seeing that it was time for Chen Xiuming to get married soon, Father Chen thought of a way to find a husband with a strong background in the business world for Chen Xiuming.

First of all, he only has one daughter, Chen Xiuming, and has no other descendants. In the future, she will definitely inherit the family business. Those with similar or lower family backgrounds will have some thoughts after marriage. Second, those with deep family backgrounds will naturally look down on the Chen family. It would be better if these things could help the two of them develop some feelings for each other. Father Chen figured it out and thought that this method was feasible, so he discussed it with Chen Xiuming.

Chen's father searched for a long time but failed to find a suitable person. He happened to meet Jin Moyan when he went to Beijing this time. Of course, he was not interested in Jin Moyan but his nephew.The children of the Jin family have always been famous in politics, but there are two strange things, Jin Moyan's uncle and nephew. Jin Moyan and his second brother's son, Jin Wenyi, are six years apart. Now also has some right to speak in the business world.

Chen's father had business contacts with the Jin family, and after knowing that Jin Wenyi had never married a wife, he moved his mind to deliberately approach him, but most of the people he saw were Jin Moyan. This time, he came to Suzhou for other reasons. It would be good if Chen Xiuming left some impression on Jin Moyan.

Since ancient times, marriages have been ordered by parents and matchmakers. Now that the mind is liberated, it is the same. Jin Moyan and Chen Xiuming met a few times and left a good impression. One or two words of Ming's words are worth a thousand words of Chen's father. As for whether Jin Moyan will fall in love with Chen Xiuming, Chen's father has never thought about it.

In his early years, due to some unknown reasons, Jin Moyan threatened that he would never get married if he didn’t meet the one he loves in this life. Although Chen Xiuming is good-looking, he is not the number one. There are thousands of women in Beijing. A little girl like her.

"Mr. Jin." Chen Xiuming mistakenly thought that the person Chen's father was optimistic about was Jin Moyan. When he first saw him, he didn't know whether he would like it or not in the future, so he called him by the previous name. "Mr. Jin is a friend of my father's. Just ask me to embroider tea. Ms. Chen also thinks it's too extravagant."

"What did Xiu Ming learn in the women's school?" Jin Moyan remembered that her niece learned a lot of things in the school, and she didn't understand English very well. She might also have something she didn't understand.

"Now I mainly study literature, mathematics, and foreign languages, but my talent in mathematics and foreign languages ​​is not high." Chen Xiuming frowned thinking about her report card from last semester.

"Everyone has their own good and bad. I heard from your father that you once published an article in a magazine that received a good response. I also read that article on the way, and it deserves to be called a masterpiece. "Jin Moyan motioned to Chen Xiuming to sit down and talk.

"It's just a fantasy when I was young. How can I bear Mr. Jin's praise." Speaking of this article, she felt a little hot.

A few years ago, she learned to write articles with her classmates, but she was too young to bear the praise. After several classmates circulated the article, they thought the article was good and asked her to contribute. Fortunately, the manuscript was easily passed.After Father Chen's business failed, he didn't think about writing any more stories, and only she knew about them. Now that I think about it, what I wrote was just a little girl's fantasy about the world. It has no depth at all, and the paper is full of childish ideas.

"I'm telling the truth. Although the writing is a little lacking and unsophisticated, the idea is very special. Ten-year-old children should like it very much. This is like a local fairy tale, and the immature writing also adds a touch of aura."

This is something no one has ever said. I always felt that my articles at that time were childish ideas, but now that I have received compliments, Chen Xiuming’s desire to share stories with others has reached its peak.At this time, she was like an author eager to be recognized, hoping that the stories of the characters she wrote would be read, and she asked a very rude question with a trace of caution that others did not know.

"Does Mr. Jin have free time on weekdays? If you have time, can you read my other articles?" She regretted it as soon as she asked the question. Mr. Jin is also a businessman like her father and must be very busy on weekdays. This time Coming to Suzhou should be because of business.

"Nothing happened these few days." Looking at this girl who made him feel good for no reason, Jin Moyan felt that he could push away some unimportant things, just in exchange for her smiling face.

"It's just that I don't spend much time here and I shouldn't be able to read all the stories."

"It's my honor to see Mr. Jin."

Chen Xiuming went back to get her manuscript. The short stories she had written before were put in a small box under the desk in the room.

I dragged the box out and put it on the table, only to find that there were too many papers inside. I bit my lip and thought that Mr. Jin didn’t have much time, so I only took a stack of well-written stories, and locked the rest in the box. was put under the desk.

He trotted to the pavilion with a pile of papers in his arms, and the maids he met on the way gave way one after another, and resumed his previous work after she passed by.

"There's no need to be in such a hurry, just sit down first." Jin Moyan picked up the top few sheets of paper bound together.

Jin Moyan has read a lot of books, and he also read foreign fairy tales with a few nieces. He can write a lot of articles in his circle, but it is whimsical to be able to write something like Chen Xiuming. There are not many stories.

Originally, he just planned to take a look, but he began to indulge in this pure fantasy world. A world was written in a few pages, and one world after another was presented to Jin Moyan from the concise words on this paper. Xiao Duan had finished reading, and Chen Xiuming also saw from Jin Moyan's unfinished expression that he liked these stories very much.

"If you had submitted these stories to the magazine before, it would have been known to the world." Jin Moyan said with some regret.

"These stories aren't very good..."

"Maybe not very good, but it is very popular with children. I have several teenage nephews and nieces in my family and I often read stories with them. I know what kind of stories children like, just like you Stories like this."

Chen Xiuming talked with Jin Moyan for a long time, and finally decided to wait for Chen's father to come back and discuss with him before replying to him. Chen's father also came back during dinner.

After the meal, Father Chen called Chen Xiuming to the study room, and asked about how he got along with Jin Moyan today. Chen Xiuming talked about what happened in the afternoon. It is your good luck to publish your article, and the magazine under his name is also famous, if you want to do it."

In this day and age, it is good for a woman to have some talent and fame, so that it is not easy to be underestimated, and the marriage will be smoother in the future, but it is only a talent.
