Song Yuzhang

It was late at night, when Nie Xueping returned to the house, Nie Mao came up to meet him and said that Nie Yinbing was waiting for him in the study, Nie Xueping nodded slightly, "Tell the kitchen to make some supper."

"Okay, sir, what do you want to eat?"

"Simple."

Nie Yinbing is one of the few people in the Nie family who can come and go in and out of Nie Xueping's study at will, but he doesn't come often. Nie Yinbing is the youngest of the family, and he is missing everywhere in the house.

Nie Yinbing was sitting in the red chair in the study. After Nie Xueping came in, Nie Yinbing pointed to the wall, "Lin Mengqi's paintings are gone here."

Nie Xueping glanced at it and said, "Yes, I gave it away."

Nie Yinbing remained silent, and said abruptly, "Song Yuzhang?"

Nie Xueping sat down beside him, without denying it, "Yes."

Nie Yinbing was silent again for a long time. He didn't speak well, and he knew that he couldn't speak. Every time he thought about it, what he said seemed unpleasant and stinging.

At home, he would only talk more with Nie Xueping, because Nie Xueping could understand what he really meant, so he didn't have to worry that Nie Xueping would not understand, or that Nie Xueping would be upset if he said something inappropriate.

He was so reticent for so long that others thought he didn't like to talk to people.

That's right, he doesn't like talking with people, it's not interesting.

Zhao Jianfang is interesting, Nie Yinbing likes it, likes to talk to him, and likes to be with him, Zhao Jianfang likes to joke, pats his thigh with his palm, with a cigarette in his mouth, pointing at people and laughing and cursing that he has never heard of it Nie Yinbing likes these things whether they are separated or combined.

"You like him?" Nie Yinbing said abruptly.

Nie Xue nodded calmly with a faint look of fatigue on her face, "Yes."

"How much do you like it?"

"If he was a girl, you might have a new sister-in-law in two years."

Nie Yinbing looked at Nie Xueping calmly and clearly. He knew that Nie Xueping answered him seriously. His elder brother rarely joked, especially on such things.

"Yin Bing," Nie Xueping said calmly, "I know you don't like him very much, but for my sake, I hope you don't reject him too much."

Nie Yinbing stared at him for a long time, then stood up suddenly, with his back to Nie Xueping, looking at the dark night outside the window, he said in a deep voice, "Why? You have never been with a man before."

Nie Xueping folded his hands, his eyes slanted on a glazed lamp beside him, he sighed deeply silently, tapped his temples lightly with his fingers, and relaxed after pursing his lips seriously for a moment, he said: " Yin Bing, I'm just an ordinary person, and I also have emotions, maybe you don't believe it, but I have to tell you honestly, I have love for him."

Nie Xueping said: "I heard that you had some conflicts with him at Shen's house today?"

"They told you."

"I have no intention of spying on you. It's just that something like this happened, and they have to report to me. Your behavior, no matter what relationship he has with me, is very inappropriate."

Nie Xueping's tone was slightly heavy, and Nie Yinbing listened, the moonlight seemed to shine into his heart, both bright and cold: Big brother really likes Zhao Jianfang, big brother really likes Zhao Jianfang, not just on a whim, but also It's not a faint affection, it's a real love.

Nie Xueping looked at her brother's tall back, sighed silently for a long time, and said softly: "I'll formally introduce the two of you some other day. After you get in touch with him, you will know that he is not the person you imagined. I think You should like him too."

Nie Yinbing left, turned around and left, almost colliding with Nie Mao who came in with a late-night snack. Nie Mao frantically stabilized the tray, watched Nie Yinbing sprint out in surprise, and turned to look at the people inside the house. Nie Xueping, Nie Xueping sat up slightly, and looked out of the house with a serious face.

Nie Mao said: "Master, what's wrong with Second Master? Do you want me to go over and have a look?"

"It's okay." Nie Xueping looked away, sighed again, and waved. Nie Mao took the snack and put it down. Nie Xueping glanced at it and said, "I like drinking ice. You can also send a bowl to the drinking ice." go."

"Eh, good."

Nie Mao hurried out.

Nie Xueping held her forehead with one hand, feeling a little headache.

If Song Yuzhang was really a girl, maybe he wouldn't have to worry so much, but Song Yuzhang is a man.

Nie Xueping thought that the most difficult test might be Nie Bonian.

If Nie Bonian knew that his "Brother Yuzhang" had suddenly become his father's lover, Nie Bonian would probably find it difficult to accept it. Nie Bonian lost his mother since he was a child, and the role of mother is even more irreplaceable. Put Song Yuzhang in the position of the so-called "continued stepmother", but if things really come to the fore, he can't avoid it.

There are many things he can't give Song Yuzhang, so he doesn't ask Song Yuzhang too much.

Life is not perfect.

Some things can be encountered but not sought after. It is a blessing to have encountered them, and cherish them.

However, Nie Yinbing's fierce opposition made Nie Xueping somewhat unexpected.

The people from the Nie family did not follow up with the Shen family, they just waited outside in the car. They had never seen what happened with their own eyes, and the people from the Shen family were strict with their mouths, but it was certain that there would be a conflict. Went to have a meal together, Nie Yinbing walked away...

Nie Xueping sighed deeply again, picked up the supper and didn't eat two bites, Nie Mao went back and forth, "Second Lord rode away and ran away."

"Ran?"

Nie Xueping put down the spoon, wanted to stand up and sat back down, he said: "Let him go."

He has already made it very clear. With Nie Yinbing's temperament, it should be that he needs to vent. Nie Xueping took a sip of the soup and said: "Tomorrow morning, you will write a post for Boss Meng and say that I am the host. Please He and Director Liao had lunch together at noon."

"it is good."

Nie Maofang wanted to leave, but was stopped by Nie Xueping, "Send a post to President Song and ask him to come along."

"Eh, good."

Song Mingzhao did not get the same treatment as before. He took a shower and waited for him on Song Yuzhang's bed. Song Yuzhang came in, ignored him, took off his coat, put the gun back in the desk drawer, turned to him and said with a smile: "fourth brother, During your absence, your room has been cleaned by servants, and the quilts are freshly dried two days ago."

Song Mingzhao understood what he meant, and hurriedly said: "I, I will go back to sleep, I, let's talk, okay? I haven't talked for a long time."

Song Yuzhang didn't object and went straight to the bathroom.

Song Mingzhao was sitting on the soft bed, and the quilt was still cold. He just lay down and wanted to warm Song Yuzhang's quilt. It was cold, and Song Yuzhang would like to warm the quilt.

But Song Yuzhang only likes to warm the quilt, not him.

No, it's not fair to Song Yuzhang to say that, Song Yuzhang likes him, treats him as a poor and useless good-for-nothing brother, and generously gives him a little love. , It's all his fault.

Song Yuzhang came out of the bathroom full of heat. He got into bed and sighed, "It's really cold."

"Yeah, the weather is so cold, two days ago..." Song Mingzhao wanted to say that he had a fever from the cold two days ago, but after thinking about it, he still didn't say, isn't he pitiful enough in front of Song Yuzhang?Why bother to use these things to gain sympathy, "...it started to get cold two days ago."

Song Yuzhang smiled, "Tomorrow I have to ask the servants to heat up the hot water, and I will tell my third brother later, don't freeze you."

It's changed, it's changed no matter what, Song Mingzhao tried his best to restore the intimacy with Song Yuzhang, but it was useless, he even had to consider every word he said, how could there be intimacy?It’s just that it needs to be whitewashed, and it’s forced to keep it, like a meal that’s been left overnight, it’s half rancid, and there’s nothing to see on the surface, but it smells like it, and it’s even worse when you eat it.

Song Mingzhao was on the bed as if he was being tortured. He found himself guilty and suffered. When Song Yuzhang told him to go back to sleep, he lifted the quilt and got out of bed. He suddenly asked Song Yuzhang, "Where's my book?"

"Which one?"

"That Madame Bovary."

"I don't know. The servant may have put it away. You can look for it on the bookshelf over there."

Song Mingzhao's heart was very cold, he forced a smile and said: "Oh, it's okay, I've almost finished reading that book, I'd better go to bed first."

Song Yuzhang saw Song Mingzhao's displeasure, but he had no idea to coax him. He was introspecting himself, wondering if he was a little too cute, and now he didn't seem to have such an urgent pursuit of "love". With banks, railroads, and U.S. stocks all on my mind, there really isn't much room left to think about "love."

Song Mingzhao returned to the room. Indeed, as Song Yuzhang said, the room was clean and the quilt had been dried. Song Mingzhao was lying in the quilt. He was a healthy young man, and he felt the heat in the quilt soon. Suffering, so uncomfortable that I want to cry, I cry when I want to cry, no one cares anyway, what is left of him?A position as a teaching assistant at the school, and the room left by the brothers on both sides. If it is gone, everything will be gone. He is still the fourth son of Song that no one looks up to.

"Don't blame them, I'm worthless..."

Song Mingzhao murmured.

He shrank into the quilt, hid his face in the quilt, smelled the sunshine, and waited for the dawn.

At eight o'clock in the morning, Nie Mao went to tell Nie Xueping that Nie Yinbing had returned.

Nie Xueping said, "Just come back."

Before going out, Nie Xueping asked about Nie Yinbing's situation. After learning that he had fallen asleep, she felt relieved, "When he wakes up, ask the doctor to come and look at the injury on his back."

Nie Xueping booked an entire floor of the International Hotel for guests.

Song Yuzhang came first, and not long after sitting down, Meng Tingjing also arrived. Meng Tingjing was still wearing a filial piety, still wearing a black robe, and his expression was calmer than last time. It seemed that he had finally recovered his vitality. Without shyness, he sat directly on Song Yuzhang's right hand side.

Song Yuzhang looked at him, and Meng Tingjing also looked at him with a calm expression.

"President Song, how are you doing recently?"

What's rare is that Meng Tingjing's tone is also very peaceful.

Song Yuzhang was surprised, but there was nothing on his face, "The TOEFL is not bad, how about you, Boss Meng?"

Meng Tingjing said: "Some machines in the cotton mill broke down and stayed up all night."

"Is it fixed?"

"It was fixed yesterday."

"That's good."

The two were silent for a while. Song Yuzhang could not remember the last time he sat with Meng Tingjing without gunpowder. He felt uncomfortable while sitting. He glanced over from the corner of his eye, and it turned out that Meng Tingjing was also watching. His eyes collided, Song Yuzhang was slightly taken aback, Meng Tingjing preemptively said: "You peek at me."

Song Yuzhang had never experienced such accusations in his life, and Meng Tingjing's tone was firm and upright, as if he was a beautiful woman and Song Yuzhang was peeping at him lewdly.

Song Yuzhang wanted to laugh, so he really did. He laughed quite teasingly, "Yes, I saw it. Why, does Boss Meng want to charge me money?"

Meng Tingjing turned her face away and looked at the entrance in front of her. "After all, it's a good time, forget it."

Song Yuzhang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, propped his face with one hand, and looked sideways at Meng Tingjing, "Why did you suddenly change your sex?"

Meng Ting didn't look sideways, "I'm still young, I haven't identified myself, how did I change my nature?"

Song Yuzhang didn't taste it at first, and after putting his little finger on his lips, he suddenly thought of the words "old and strong", and glanced at Meng Tingjing from the corner of his eyes, and found that he had a beautiful and fair face, a cool and noble temperament, and it was just when he was neither mad nor vicious Like an orchid in an empty valley.

Meng Tingjing couldn't help it after being stared at twice by him. She turned her face and stared at Song Yuzhang's eyes, "What is Nie Xueping better than me? Would you choose him or me?"

Song Yuzhang was slightly taken aback, with a faint smile, "Ting Jing, don't you feel guilty when you say this? If you didn't push me every step of the way..."

Song Yuzhang's words gradually extinguished in Meng Tingjing's bright eyes, and Meng Tingjing said: "Why don't you continue? If I don't force you, what will you do? You are nothing more than Nie Xueping—"

"Boss Meng! President Song!"

Liao Tiandong rushed into the private room happily like setting off firecrackers.

Meng Tingjing sat upright, with his face tilted to the outside, and Song Yuzhang also sat upright, with his face still leaning towards Meng Tingjing's direction. Liao Tiandong didn't feel guilty of disturbing their conversation at all—what did Song Yuzhang and Meng Tingjing have to say?If you are alone together, you will be pinched. If he comes, that will save the day!

Liao Tiandong picked up a chair consciously, and forced his way into the gap between the seats of Song Yuzhang and Meng Tingjing, "Come, come, sit together, sit together."

Song Yuzhang moved his buttocks, and moved aside with the chair. Liao Tiandong successfully squeezed between the two of them. After sitting down, he glanced at Song Yuzhang first. At one glance, Meng Tingjing's face was frosty, and Liao Tiandong's back was chilled by his sight. He put his hands on his chest and looked forward nonchalantly, thinking that it was really not easy for him, and there was nothing he could do. For the stability of this small group, someone always If you want to sacrifice, he will take advantage of it, so let him come!

Nie Xueping came late, and apologized to the three of them when she came in, "There was a small accident in the mine, I'm sorry, but I, the treat, came last."

Liao Tiandong quickly smoothed things over, "Hey, what's the matter, they are busy people, and they can be considerate, right, President Song, Boss Meng?"

Song Yuzhang said yes, but Meng Tingjing ignored him, so Liao Tiandong judged in his heart that Meng Tingjing must have been bad before he came and provoked Song Yuzhang.

Nie Xueping organized the meeting this time for two reasons. One is to determine the construction location of the first section of the railway. Actually, they have discussed this once before. once.

Nie Xueping's main purpose was actually for the second matter, which had nothing to do with Song Yuzhang, but Nie Xueping was worried that if he invited Liao Tiandong and Meng Tingjing alone, Song Yuzhang would think too much, so they held a party together.

"Ashamed to say, this matter is actually a private matter in our family."

Nie Xueping clasped both hands at a slant, and leaned on her raised thigh, she was really ashamed, "Brother Sister made a friend I liked a while ago, but that friend disappeared, and I have never looked for it again. Well, now that the war is raging, Director Liao, you are a member of the government, I wonder if you can borrow the power of the government, I am really ashamed to say these things, but my younger brother values ​​that friend very much..."

"Well," Liao Tiandong said briskly, "No problem, I will definitely help."

Nie Xueping looked at Meng Tingjing again, "Boss Meng, there is a lot of information on the pier, and I need your help."

Meng Tingjing was noncommittal.

Nie Xueping finally looked at Song Yuzhang, who was sitting beside him, with his head lowered as if in a daze.

Nie Xueping turned her face back, and said to Liao Tiandong and Meng Tingjing: "I have sent people to Jiangzhou to invite a few people who have seen that friend. They will arrive by water, and they will arrive the day after tomorrow. I will trouble you two then."
