The Red Mansions Across the Four Seas

Chapter 540 The Season of Harvesting Love

Three days later, news came from Feng Ziying.

Negotiations between Beihai and Ross have already begun.In other respects, there was little controversy on both sides.Only disputes arose over Tamara's territory.

Feng Ziying insisted that Tamara's territory belong to Beihai, while Bakiyev insisted that it belong to Rus.At the time of the stalemate, Feng Ziying proposed to suspend the negotiations and let Tamara decide the ownership by herself.

In desperation, Bakiyev agreed to the proposal, so Tamara went to Fort Sergei to express her decision.

At the same time, she will replace Miaoyu as the interpreter.Miaoyu came back to visit the old lady.

In order to show her close relationship with Jia Min, Tamara asked Jia Min to see her off in person.

In order to make Tamara happy, Jia Min agreed without saying a word.

However, some people later said that the reason why Jia Min was so happy was to trick Tamara into giving her her fief to Beihai.

Daiyu held this point of view, and said it outright among the girls.

After seeing off Tamara, Jia Min came to the arsenal.After entering the yard, Liu Cheng was sitting in a corner blankly, as if he was thinking about something.

Jia Min wanted to go over and call him, but Dai Zhi came out and mysteriously pulled Jia Min into his room.

"What's wrong with Liu Cheng? It seems that something is on his mind?"

"Oh, that boy doesn't fall in love, and that girl doesn't cherish spring?"

Dai Zhi said something very philosophical.

This sentence was also learned by Dai Zhi from Jia Min.

Of course, Jia Min copied it from Goethe.

When they went to France together, Jia Min's words were once all the rage among the French upper class.

"Oh, is it a girl you fell in love with? Do you know whose girl it is?"

"Whose girl didn't say anything, but after the old lady of your mansion came, I went to the pier with Liu Cheng to meet him, and then I visited your mansion once. After returning, Liu Chengcheng once asked me, what is the old lady's side?" Who is that girl, her words are full of compliments."

"There are eight maids around the old lady. At the beginning, Qingwen and Xiren came from the old lady's room. Now the most outstanding one is Yuanyang. When I held an annual meeting in the mansion, Yuanyang was named the chief maid. Secondly It's Amber. Could it be that Liu Cheng has taken a fancy to the mandarin duck girl?"

"I think it's the mandarin duck girl."

"The two of them are a good match. The mandarin duck girl is not only smart, but also has a good character. The old lady trusts her very much. If she gets married in the future, she will prepare a dowry for her. Mr. Dai, go ask Liu Cheng If it is a mandarin duck, I can help him with this."

Dai Zhi went over and said a few words to Liu Cheng, and the two of them came together.

"Then thank you, Chief Min."

Liu Cheng didn't say anything, just said this without thinking.

"What's the matter, you just thank me like that. You can explain clearly."

"This, that is, that is..."

"The mandarin duck girl he fell in love with. Liu Cheng was a little shy, and he was too embarrassed to speak out. In this matter, he is still not as good as Chief Min."

Not as good as me?What does it mean?
"Hey, Chief Min, I don't mean anything else, it's just that Liu Cheng is a bit shy after all."

That means I'm not shy anymore?Well, these people think of me like that, probably everyone knows about me and Tamara by now.

Several people studied the relocation of the arsenal for a while, and Jia Min was about to leave.

"Liu Cheng, about Yuanyang, I'll go back and ask Ping'er to ask about it. She and Yuanyang are as close as sisters. Tell her to ask Miss Yuanyang in private. If Yuanyang agrees, I'll tell the old lady again, and you can call Your uncle came to my house to propose marriage. If she doesn't agree, it means you two don't have this fate, so we shouldn't force him. "

"That's natural, I'll leave everything to Chief Min."

With this incident, Jia Min went directly to the pier to find Ping'er.

When Ping'er was in Bukui, he had been in charge of the tobacco affairs of the Fubingtuan.Now the tobacco affairs belong to the Beihai Self-Government Association, and Ping'er is still in charge of tobacco planting, curing, and purchasing.

Baochai is now mainly responsible for the processing and sales of the remaining cigarettes.

Ping'er followed Jia Min almost all the time, and after Jia Min withdrew from Bu Kui, he followed Chen Yejun to preside over the affairs of the government corps in Bu Kui, and he was capable of management.

Needless to say, Baochai has experience in France.Under the auspices of the two of them, the tobacco business in Beihai is booming.Now it has become the most important source of income in Beihai.

When I arrived at Ping'er, Baochai, Ping'er and Qingwen happened to be there.

They are all from their own family, so Jia Min is not polite.

"Does the mandarin duck girl have someone she likes now?"

Seeing what Jia Min said, Baochai smiled.

But that smile seemed a bit weird to Jia Min.

"I haven't heard of anyone I like, but I think Yuanyang and Fourth Brother are quite compatible."

When Baochai said this, Qingwen seemed to understand Baochai's intention immediately, and acted as a vanguard for Baochai.

"No, I asked her when I saw her a few days ago. Could it be that the fourth master has taken a fancy to Yuanyang? Then go and ask the old ancestor to come. Yuanyang is good with us. If we come, everyone will be our company." Son, it’s cheaper for outsiders.”

"You guys misunderstood. I'm not doing it for myself. I'm trying to find a marriage for Yuanyang. Someone has taken a fancy to her."

So Jia Min told Liu Cheng about it.

"I think this matter is good. I know Liu Cheng. He is a proper person. Now he can be regarded as the number one person in Beihai, and he is suitable for Yuanyang. However, if Yuanyang agrees, he must promise one more thing. thing."

At this time, Ping'er spoke unhurriedly.

"what's up?"

"You can't take concubines in the future. Yuanyang told me about this."

No wonder just now when Baochai and Qingwen said that Jia Min had accepted the mandarin ducks, Ping'er kept silent.It turned out that she had known about Yuanyang's condition a long time ago, so she was not in a hurry at all.

"Ping'er, you can ask Yuanyang to see if she agrees. If she agrees, Liu Cheng will agree to this. After the two of them agree in private, talk to the elders."

"I just wonder if the ancestors will let the mandarin ducks go?"

Baochai was a little worried.

"I think the ancestors will agree. After all, the mandarin ducks are grown up now. If they don't get married again, they will become leftover women."

"Fourth Master, what are leftover women?"

Qingwen asked again.

"Leftover women are women who are too picky and who haven't married when they get older."

"Fourth Master has done a good thing, I'll go over and ask Yuanyang now."

Ping'er said, and went out.

"Fourth master has done a lot of good deeds in this matter, and I will follow along."

Qingwen also went out.

"Fourth brother has done something serious, and I went over to persuade Yuanyang not to lose Liu Cheng's fate."

After Baochai finished speaking, she also went out.Only Jia Min was left in the room.

What do you mean I did something serious?Have I been doing unscrupulous things?

After staying in the room for a while, Jia Min was about to leave when he saw Xue Pan looking inside.

"Brother Xue, come in quickly, is there anything wrong?"

Jia Min noticed Xue Pan's changes, and was very happy for him now, so when he saw Xue Pan, he was much more polite.

"Fourth Brother Min, I'm here to find Miss Ping'er, and I need her help with something."

"Ping'er has gone to the mansion. If I can help, you can tell me. I will tell her when the time comes."

"this……."

Xue Pan hesitated for a moment, went out, and pulled in a person, it was Liu Xianglian.

"It's okay to tell fourth brother Min about this matter, we are here for Miss Xiren."

Assault?

This seems a little wrong, Xiren is Jiang Yuhan's fate, why do you two good friends miss Xiren?

"Since it is for attacking people, what is the purpose of finding Ping'er?"

"Miss Ping'er is close to Xiren. We have a good marriage here. We want to become Miss Xiren."

Heh, these two guys actually have the same goals as me, and they have also started the business of media protection.

"But for Jiang Yuhan?"

"Brother Min is an expert after all, and he can't even hide such a thing from you. We are indeed here for this matter."

Liu Xianglian couldn't help admiring Jia Min.

"Is it really about Jiang Yuhan and Xiren?"

"Exactly. Ever since Jiang Yuhan met Xiren that day, he has been obsessed with it. He doesn't think about tea or food every day, and he is getting thinner and thinner. We can't see it. Every time we ask, he doesn't say anything. I only found out about this when Miss Panpan was there."

"Yeah, we thought Miss Ping'er was on good terms with Xiren, so we came to find her, and wanted her to be in the middle of it. If Xiren is interested, we will propose marriage according to the etiquette. If not, we can ask Jiang Yuhan to die. Be careful, so you don’t have to suffer for it every day.”

"I think this is a good thing. Don't worry, I will definitely pass it on to Ping'er. I think this matter is likely to happen."

"That's the best, then thank you Brother Min."

"This is also their fate, so you don't need to thank me. However, I think Brother Liu should think about his fate."

"Brother Min, what fate do I have?"

"Sister You, Third Sister."

When Miss You was mentioned, Liu Xianglian's expression darkened.

"What's the matter, Brother Liu, is there something unspeakable?"

"Oh, let me tell you the truth, brother Min. When I was still in the imperial capital, someone once mentioned our relationship. At that time, I was impulsive, so I rejected it. I am afraid that it hurt the third sister's heart because of that. That's why she came here." to the North Sea."

"After I got here, I wanted to renew my relationship, but my third sister kept ignoring me. Now I'm also worried about it."

"It depends on whether Brother Liu is sincere. Sincerity is as good as gold and stone. As long as Brother Liu recognizes this fate, he will definitely get what he wants. Men, for the sake of the woman you love, you have to lower your figure , or even stalking and stalking, can move your heart."

"Yeah, I said you have to let go of your arrogance, Brother Liu, you have to learn from Brother Min on this point."

You big fool Xue, you're in a daze again.When did I stalk you?

"Also ask Brother Min to teach me."

Liu Xianglian climbed up the pole.

"Well, it's in Beihai now, which is different from our Han land. The third sister is also an unusual woman. So you have to take an unusual path. As long as you persevere, you will win the hearts of beauties."

"As long as Third Sister is willing to forgive me, I'm willing to do anything."

"You've been in Beihai for so long, why don't you learn the courtship methods of local young people?"

"You mean, ask me to sing love songs outside Third Sister's room?"

"Why not? Looking at Beihai, how many people can sing better than Brother Liu? Wouldn't it be a waste if they didn't use it with Third Sister?"

"Yeah, brother Liu, what the fourth brother Min said seems to have some truth. If you sing at the third sister's place, if others know about it, no one will go to snatch it from you. The third sister will be helpless at that time, seeing your sincerity, She also has face, so maybe she agrees."

"This plan is very good, thank you Brother Min, I will leave."

"Brother Liu, why did you leave in such a hurry?"

"I'm going back to prepare the song, and I'll sing it tonight."

Liu Xianglian got on the horse as she spoke, and ran away in a hurry.
