no soul

Lin Hong naturally recognized who the deep voice came from. He turned his head to look and said with a smile, "How can I meet you everywhere?"

A tall and slender figure walked towards him, "The army went all the way south, and it happened to arrive in the south of the Yangtze River in a month."

"It's you—what are you doing here?" Wan Guchuan stood in front of him.

"Come to talk about business, otherwise I wouldn't wait until the lotus flowers are all in bloom." Lin Hong looked up at him.

The deep eyebrows and eyes are the sharpest edges and corners in the soft waves in the south of the Yangtze River.

It's been a long time since I saw Xing, and Lin Hong is also a little happy.

"Thank you last time, didn't I cause you any trouble?" Lin Hong asked him, "last time" naturally refers to the time when the goods were released.

"No, your bodyguard is very efficient." Wan Guchuan said.

Lin Hong and You Rongyan accepted the praise for the bodyguards, "Naturally."

"Where are you going now?" Wan Guchuan looked at him.

"Go and see the house, and plan to open a branch in Jiangnan." Anyway, Wan Guchuan knew about it, and Lin Hong didn't hide it from him.

"Good."

"Would you like a piece?" Lin Hong handed him the sweet-scented osmanthus cake on oiled paper, "It's the season when the sweet-scented osmanthus blossoms, and the sweet-scented osmanthus cake in this shop is very famous."

Wan Guchuan took a look, "It's too big, I don't like sweets."

"Oh." Lin Hong withdrew his hand.

"Give this piece to me." Wan Guchuan grabbed his other wrist, pulled it over, and leaned close to the piece he took a bite of with his hand.

Lin Hong was stunned and looked at him.Under the eyebrows, the eyelashes are thick and black, the face is slightly sideways, the bridge of the nose is high, and the thin lips are slightly parted.

Why, why do you feel a little...

Lin Hong regained consciousness, Wan Guchuan had already bitten into his mouth.

"Brother, I bitten it." Lin Hong was dumbfounded.

"In the army, you have to eat even if you pick it up from the ground." Wan Guchuan let go of his hand and distanced himself.

sexy.

Lin Hong looked at him.

Wan Guchuan glanced at the direction of the observation deck, "I'll go first."

He walked a few steps and stopped, turned to look at Lin Hong, "Let's stay for a few more days."

"I know... I know." Lin Hong waved to him.

"Yeah." Wan Guchuan smiled, turned and left.

His slender figure stood out from the crowd even when he walked into the crowd.

Lin Hong felt his wrists were burning hot, and couldn't get rid of Wan Guchuan's face just now.

I seem to have kissed him...

Lin Hong blushed.

Wow... so good-looking what to do.

He took another piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake, but it was tasteless.

Lin Hong turned his head and saw Tu Hongxue's back was facing him.

"What are you looking at? Let's go quickly." Lin Hong patted him.

Tu Hongxue: "..." It's not that I'm looking at something, but I don't want to see something...

Lin Hong had already contacted the escort agency within a month.

It is located beside Fengqiao near the lake in Dongshi.

In front of the lacquered wood courtyard grows an old osmanthus tree, which is fragrant for miles in late autumn.

The owner led them around inside.

The more Lin Hong watched it, the more he liked it, "Just here."

After signing a bunch of papers and drawing the deposit, the owner left with a smile on his face.

Lin Hong folded his arms and looked around the lobby, very satisfied, "I will ask the master to decorate it tomorrow."

"Brother Tu," Lin Hong looked at Tu Hongxue, "I will trouble you to recruit bodyguards again."

"It's a matter of duty." Tu Hongxue also likes this hall very much.

The plaque that had been ordered a long time ago happened to be delivered.

On the pitch-black plaque, there are four golden characters of "Changying Escort Bureau".

Lin Hong watched them hang it on the gate.

Suddenly a person stood beside him.

Lin Hong saw a touch of blue from the corner of his eye, and was startled immediately.

Come on... If you meet him at this time, isn't he finished playing...

Looking sideways, as expected.

"Brother..." Lin Hong's heart pounded.

After playing...it's cool...

He originally wanted to wait until this place was dealt with before going to see him...

The man next to him was dressed in Tsing Yi, holding an oil-paper umbrella in his hand. His handsome face was five points similar to Lin Hong's, but the corners of his eyebrows and eyes were gentler and more stable, without Lin Hong's rebellious stubbornness and unrestrained youth. .

Standing there, without any sharp edges and corners, gentle and elegant.

He looked up at the plaque that was being hung, and read the words on it: "Changying Escort Bureau."

Autumn nights are the coolest, without stars and moons, and the thick clouds carry the coolness of distant rain.

A solitary lamp flickered in front of Jiangnan Linfu, and the densely planted trees in the courtyard gave off a sense of desolation.

Dip in the night, but the lobby is brightly lit, with some light leaking from the windows.

"Kang Dang", Lin Yue put down the teacup, sat on the main seat, looked at Lin Hong, his usually gentle eyes became stern, "What do you think?"

"Just... that's what I thought..." Lin Hong sat in the guest seat, anxiously waiting for the trial.

There is really no way, after Lin Yue looked at the plaque, Lin Hong picked up all the historical background and transactions of the Changying Escort.

Therefore, Lin Hong still couldn't infuse him with the enchanting soup.

"You want to run the Escort." Lin Yue did not support it, and questioned him, "You are not deeply involved in the world, how much do you know about these things?"

Lin Hong looked at him.

"Entering the business world is like facing an abyss. Do you know how to win people's hearts and how to prevent betrayal? The knife in the back has always pierced the vitals, and it is the most terrifying. Can you guard against it?"

"Of course I thought about it a long time ago." Lin Hong said.

"Competition is everywhere, old and cunning businessmen can be found everywhere, all are unscrupulous wolves, the underground network of relationships is intricate, and the power of power can cover the sky. What do you have to fight against them when you are a fledgling?"

"There are always waves in the Yangtze River."

"The Escort Bureau has involved the Jianghu. Do you know how much grievances and enmities those Escort Masters have carried on them? You protect them, and the sharp arrows will point at you, only to be shocked. At that time, who can protect you?"

Lin Hong looked at him, "Of course I know, I've been doing it for a year now, so I'm sure."

"Lin Hong, many things are not as simple as you think." Lin Yue stroked the jade wrench on his thumb.

"It's only been a year. What about after that? You are still expanding your business. The bigger the business, the more difficult it will be. Will you really be able to control it then?" Lin Yue asked him.

"I can learn and improve." Lin Hong strives.

Lin Yue looked at him for a while, and saw that he was still stubborn without a single crack.

Lin Yue sighed, "You are so stubborn. The elders have traveled more than you have eaten. Dad has been in the business world for so many years. How would he not know how the business world is doing? I have been in business for so long, I told you You are working hard."

"We just hope that you can live an easy life and avoid detours. Why don't you listen?"

"It's not necessarily a detour." Lin Hong said, "It's just doing what I want to do."

"The rivers and lakes are turbulent, and swords have no eyes. How can you feel comfortable in a temple in the capital?" Lin Yue asked him.

Lin Hong lowered his eyes, "How do you know if you don't make a dash for it? Is Chaotang really comfortable?"

Lin Yue looked at him, "Naturally, wandering and wandering are worse than stability."

"Why do you think I like stability more than chaos?" Lin Hong also raised his eyes to look at him.

"Human nature."

"There are always exceptions."

"Lin Hong, dad just wants you to get a good grade in the exam." Lin Yue said.

Lin Hong resolutely said, "But I don't want to."

"You have to know that many things in this world can't be done as you want, you can't be so selfish!" Lin Yue said, "Can't you fulfill your parents' wishes after they gave birth to you?"

"Yes, of course I have to do what they want, but it doesn't have to be everything. The choice of becoming an official or a businessman is related to the rest of my life. How can I do what they want? I have to go this journey by myself, and it is my own business. .”

Lin Hong became a little irritable, "Do I want to live for them?"

You can break branches for the elderly, but you can't carry Taishan Mountain to surpass Beihai for them. (Note 1)

"What are you talking about!" Lin Yue slapped the table, the tea cup jumped up and hit the table, there was a crisp sound, and the tea swayed and splashed out, "Shouldn't you be born and raise you? I really raised a white-eyed wolf Already!"

"The white-eyed wolf is the white-eyed wolf." Lin Hong stood up and strode outside, "I chose the road myself, and I can walk to the end on my knees."

"Get out! Don't go home after you go out!" Lin Yue was also so angry that he swept the teacup to the ground with a wave of his sleeve. There was a crisp "click", and the white jade was split into pieces.

People who look mild are not immune to anger.

"If you don't come back, you won't come back!" Lin Hong stepped out of the gate.

There was no one on the street, and the shops were already closed, except for a few solitary lights that made the darkness appear deep and shallow.

The wind in the autumn night was so cold that it blew the cover of the wine shop up and down, and the "sough" sounded, resounding in the quiet, and the night was frightened.

Lin Hong's anger was blown away by the wind, and the original temperature was also blown away, and it was cold from the inside to the outside.

The world is huge, and he wanders on the road alone.

The autumn wind is rolling with cold rain.

It fell from the sky, and it fell on him bit by bit, and he almost couldn't feel the cold anymore.

The raindrops fell finely and densely, and the rain feet hit the lake, making ripples and ripples, breaking the mirror of the lake.

Lin Hong was still wandering, wet from head to toe.

He walked into the karaoke booth in Yinghu Lake.

The autumn rain in the south of the Yangtze River streaked across the night.

The dead leaves and withered lotus stand by the pavilion, listening to the rain with him.

Lin Hong stared into the distance in a daze.

Suddenly, the lake in front of him began to violently churn!

In a radius of dozens of miles, water waves splash!

The ground under Lin Hong's feet was shaking. He stood up from the seat and stared at the water.

The sound of water is loud!

Lin Hong saw a bucket arch covered with blue glazed tiles emerging from the water. The water flowed through the eaves and rose little by little. The huge object covered the dim light in the distance and completely covered Lin Hong.

He could hardly see the top even with his neck up.

This is a huge boat.

It is five stories high, carved with jade railings, green tiles and flying scorpions, and bead curtains.

The Jade Tower and the Golden Pavilion lie on a huge ship?

The extravagant residence of the Lin family in Pingyang is not even half as grand.

The palace is still comparable.

This boat is like a city on the water.

Water gushed out of the boat.

The sails hang high, pointing directly at the sky.

When the water ran out, the dark building suddenly lit up with lights.

The whole ship is bright, like the Milky Way pouring down from nine heavens, bursting into flames on the surface of the water, and the radius of ten miles is as bright as day.

Silk and bamboo instruments and singing are melodious like a dream, mixed with noisy human voices, all of which float from the building boats.

There were many people on board.

For a moment, it seemed like another world.

It was so shocking that Lin Hong was stunned and forgot everything.

When he came back to his senses again, he realized that Kuhe and Yinghu, Lengyu and Fangge Pavilion had long since disappeared.

He was dressed in night, standing on a pier.

The sea is thousands of miles away, surging with black waves like ink, and occasionally splashing white foam.

The huge building boat lay in front of Lin Hong like a mountain.

The wooden boards touched and made a "squeaky" sound.

The white waves beat against the pier.

A wooden ladder was lowered from the boat, and the beauty on the boat smiled coquettishly and invited him to board.

Although the shipbuilding industry was booming during the Dazheng Dynasty, with today's shipbuilding industry, it is still impossible to build such a miraculous building ship.

At the end of the Zhou Dynasty, the vassals and towns were separated, and the forces of the seven parties lingered in the territory, with the river as the boundary.

At that time, the four countries of Chen, Nan, Tang, and Yue, which leaned on the river and the sea, established huge "boat divisions", with warships spreading thousands of miles, and the shipbuilding industry was unprecedentedly grand.

After the Chen Dynasty unified the Seven Kingdoms, the ship industry was still at its peak, and they no longer made warships, but built boats for sightseeing.

It is recorded in ancient books that "flying clouds cover the sea and swallow the white waves, and the lanterns of the heavenly palace are as bright as the day at night." It is probably such a grand occasion.

This is a building ship from the Chen Dynasty.

Are you going to start again?

Misfortune never comes singly.

Lin Hong sighed and stepped onto the boat.

He felt that he could hardly climb the stairs.

Upstairs, light and shadow flow, and music is melodious.

The tiles are glazed tiles, the railings are white marble, the lacquered wood pillars are engraved with gold leaf, and the floor is covered with soft animal hair carpets.

Various delicacies, fruits, and nectar and jade dew from all over the world are displayed on the wide table.

Extremely extravagant.

The building boat carried a lot of people, and the first deck alone was filled with waving sleeves like clouds.

Merchants in rich clothes and brocade gowns talked loudly; poets and scholars leaned on the railing to look at the sea, poured wine into the wind, stroked their beards, and wrote poems and sang;

A graceful maidservant floated leisurely between them with a fruit plate and a wine glass.

Lin Hong was drenched all over, standing in the middle of it out of place.

People were coming and going, they didn't seem to notice him, someone almost ran into him.

An arm was stretched across, blocking the flow of people for him.

Lin Hong looked up.

Wan Guchuan sized him up, "How did you make it look like this?"

"Outside, it's raining."

The voice was so noisy that Wan Guchuan was almost listening.

Lin Hong could feel the heat emanating from his body.

Lin Hong was a little cold.

A piece of clothing that was still warm came down and covered the hood, "Go and change first."
