He Hanzhu sat quietly beside the bed for a long time.

Finally, slowly, he lay down on his back, lying on the pillow, and closed his eyes.

That day, he set off for Tiancheng. The news of his sudden arrival was left on the platform. Seeing that she was about to be taken away by the train, he intuition told him that he would see him next time, perhaps many days later. In an impulse, he jumped onto the train and put the thing he wanted to deliver last night but could not deliver it in her hands.

After coming out, in nearly a month, several times, he wanted to ask his subordinates that night, asking him to pass the message to her, how did she react and whether she had said anything.

But every time the words come to your mouth, you can't say them, and finally, it's left alone.

When it was late at night, when he couldn't fall asleep, he told himself that with her temper, she didn't immediately hand over the things to Ding Chunshan for him to return them, which was the best news.

In fact, he also knew that this was just a kind of self-comfort for him.

He Hanzhu did not expect that she not only left the ring with his name and promise engraved, but also left him a message like that.

How did this guy Ding Chunshan do things? It took so long to turn her words to the point!

But He Hanzhu no longer had the intention to blame this careless subordinate.

His whole mind was filled with her message.

What did she say? She hoped that he would go back soon and listen to him explain his meaning to her in person?

It turned out that she had forgiven him at that time and was not angry with him at all!

How could there be such a cute girl in the world?

What kind of virtue does he have to say to Hanzhu? A man who was trapped in a mud and could not help but not only had the honor to meet her, but also gained her favor.

In the dark night, He Hanzhu tossed and turned on the pillow, trying his best to stop the strong impulse that surged out of his heart to set off and see her immediately overnight.

Bear with it.

This trip to the Xu Mansion is a must. He has to go there again whether it is for thanks or for any other reason.

But he missed her so much. He couldn't fall asleep at all. With his eyes closed, he could only repeatedly recall the short three days and nights of soul-dissolving life with her, so as to pass this long and difficult winter night.

Those three days and nights were the time that belonged entirely to him and her. Every minute and every second, they were almost all stuck together.

He pestered her on the bed of the house in the suburbs of Xishan, and took her freely. Whenever she woke up, she asked her to do the closest thing between men and women. Later, maybe she couldn't stand his enthusiasm and forced him to go out to climb the mountain. He pulled her to the old holly tree next to the mountain road, pressed her on the mottled trunk, and secretly kissed her.

In his palm, there was a velvety touch of her body. In his breath, there was a fragrance radiating from her skin. In his ears, it seemed that she was lingering with the song of the Siren in Greek mythology.

The desire for heat is like a fire ball that breaks out of the cage, rushing in the blood vessels under the skin, rushing and has nowhere to be placed.

The breathing in the dark night was no longer stable, it became heavy and rapid, and the man's heartbeat became faster and faster, hitting his chest violently.

After a while, with another long sigh of relief, everything finally came to peace.

It was cold in the winter night, and a thin layer of sweat oozed out of He Hanzhu's forehead. He couldn't control himself, and he temporarily solved the desire that his body had caused her. He thought in his heart how long it would take to go back and slowly fell asleep.

The next day, Director Ding, who was a little uneasy, got up early to make up for his dereliction of duty.

He felt that after hearing his remarks last night, his boss's reaction was unusual.

It seems that... Xiao Su's two words are quite important to him.

When he came out, it was still dark. Because he drank some wine last night, everyone rested late. He thought he was early enough, but he didn't expect that his boss was even earlier than him! He stood on the highest stairs in the courtyard, with his hands in his pockets, his back to him, facing the east sky that had just turned a little pale and looked into the distance.

He must have heard his footsteps, and he turned his head and glanced lightly, "Go and call your brothers up, so let's go."

When Ding Chunshan heard that he had no reproach, he breathed a sigh of relief, responded quickly, and hurriedly asked someone to prepare to set off.

Before dawn, when the morning light was dim, He Hanzhu was light and simple, and only brought Ding Chunshan and several other subordinates to the south again. On this day in early February, he entered the Syrian Mansion again.

He did not alarm anyone. In the morning, he was mixed with merchants from Sichuan, Yunnan, upstream and downstream, and numerous crowds of opium dealers, brokers and gamblers. He quietly entered the city gate of the city and settled in the hotel where he lived last time.

The hotel is located by the river, not far from the pier, with convenient transportation. It has three floors. Although it is old and over the years, the towering blue brick walls carved with ancient flowers and auspicious clouds are covered with dark green moss, but it still remains as grand as a Hongwu. Those who move here are mostly Da Shangs from other places. Now in the first month of the year, businesses in various industries have long resumed. People are coming and going downstairs, with various accents, and some messy accents.

He Hanzhu sent someone to the third leader of the Shuihui Association to send a message to Zheng Longwang. Then, he stood in front of the window on the top floor of the elegant room, looking into the heart of the river, thinking about his own thoughts, suddenly, there was a burst of footsteps coming up from outside the room, stepping up the stairs. Then, Ding Chunshan knocked on the door and said that a guest was visiting.

The visitor is Ye Ruchuan.

Ye Ruchuan was in Xu Mansion these days and arranged to ship the first batch of goods to go out after the New Year. He was busy at the wharf just now. Ye Da, who had been to Tiancheng with him before the end of the year, hurried to look for him, saying that he would take the guests to the guild hall, passing by the hotel by the river, seemed to have seen He Hanzhu at the door, but he just glanced at it and before he could take a closer look, he went in. It was not very certain. He was a servant and didn't dare to go up rashly, so he came to see him and told him the news. Ye Ruchuan put down the matter and rushed to the hotel, inquired with the shopkeeper, and described his appearance. He knew that Ye Da had not recognized the wrong person and came upstairs to look for him.

"Ah! It's really Commander He! When did you arrive! I didn't even know how to say anything to me when I got here!"

Ye Ruchuan was very surprised and greeted people when he saw them.

"I also have a guild here. Although it is not good, I can't compare with the foreign hotels you are used to staying in, Commander He, but it is at least a little more purified than here. I told you last time I had dinner in Tiancheng. When you arrived, I didn't ask someone to tell me, it would be too disgusting!"

He also complained that He Hanzhu did not inform him and did not go to his own club.

He Hanzhu didn't expect to meet Ye Ruchuan so soon.

In fact, early that morning, before leaving, he was also wondering whether to take this opportunity to visit her uncle, even her mother, the female leader of the Su family who had heard from Zhuang Tianshen before. But he was always a little hesitant in his heart, feeling that he didn't deserve it, but finally hesitated after leaving, but he still didn't make a decision.

Now, for her reasons, He Hanzhu felt an unprecedented sense of intimacy when he saw this "distant cousin" who had been here. He invited the person into the room, sat down, and served tea. He first accused him of guilt, and then explained the reason, saying that he had gone to Guanxi for a business some time ago and received help from King Zheng Long. Now that the matter is over, I come to thank him.

"It's not that I was arguing, but because I came suddenly. I knew you were busy and afraid of disturbing me. I thought it would be more convenient to contact the third chief here. Without thinking too much, I stayed there. Please forgive me. Actually, I originally thought that after I had a visit to King Zheng, I would like to ask you to reminisce about the past."

This descendant of the He family actually gave him a respectful title. His attitude seemed to be even more respectful than when he met and had dinner in Tiancheng last year, and he even felt like he was a descendant of his own opinion.

This made Ye Ruchuan stunned and felt deeply unable to bear it. He waved his hand quickly: "Commander He, don't say that! It's worth it. Just call me a cousin. I understand, your business is important."

He Hanzhu subconsciously resisted this title, and he naturally remained calm on the surface. He skipped and responded vaguely.

Ye Ruchuan didn't notice it at all and continued to ask enthusiastically: "Where are you replying now?"

He Hanzhu said that he had just asked someone to send a message to the third leader to find the third leader and asked him to pass it on his behalf. He has not received the news yet.

Ye Ruchuan said: "You came here unexpectedly. I happened to see the Sandang going out at the dock two days ago. I don't know when I will be able to go back."

"How is the boss's injuries? Is there any new news?"

"I may not have met the boss outside for a long time. I have been guarding the boss over the years and the waterway is safe. The mansion I came to three days ago. I prepared some gifts and asked someone to send them over. I gave them a look and said hello with a gun. The boss confiscated them and returned them. But I had a word and said it was safe and sound. Commander, don't worry."

He Hanzhu nodded: "It's good if the boss has nothing to do."

"How about this..."

Ye Ruchuan pondered for a moment, "I don't know when the third leader will return. You sincerely come to thank the boss. You can't just wait in vain. Why not I try to urge the person I know in the water club and help you hand me a post."

He Hanzhu hurriedly thanked: "That's the best, I'm sorry."

Ye Ruchuan smiled and said, "Don't be outside my family. I really want to thank you. My nephew is here to take care of you in Tiancheng. I should thank you. Without further ado, I will send it to you."

He hurriedly left with the post. After about half an hour, he came back and said that he had sent the post. He waited for Zheng Longwang's reply and said, "She Mei's husband's family is in Baoning County. If you walk faster, it will take only half a day to go. Commander He, you have nothing to do today. Since you have arrived, no matter what, you must go and sit there. Let the Si Mei have a little bit of friendship with the landlord."

News will not be available tomorrow as soon as possible for King Zheng.

Her uncle spoke up and took the initiative to invite her home to visit.

He Hanzhu is not unwilling to do so.

But to be honest, what he was hesitating was about to come true. At this moment, in He Hanzhu's heart, an unprecedented sense of timidity arose again-

He was silent for a moment.

Ye Ruchuan wanted to get the twists and turns in his heart. Seeing that he didn't speak, he thought he was unwilling to do so, so he invited him again: "Comrade He, if you don't go, my sister will definitely blame me for not asking me. In the future, I'm afraid I won't be able to enter her door again. To be honest, on the way back, I've sent someone to the county to send a message that if you don't go, my sister will come here to invite guests."

He Hanzhu knew that he could not refuse, so he was determined and followed the situation and responded to the situation.

Ye Ruchuan was overjoyed and knew that he needed to change his clothes and prepare some preparations. He said that he would go to prepare his carriage and horses by himself. He agreed to meet him at the dock in half an hour and go first.

After the farewell banquet a few days ago, Ma Guansheng, Feng Guobang and others all privately sent farewell gifts. The gifts were of great value, including gold bars.

This kind of thing is a favor, and it is not accepted. It is like a contempt for the other party. He Hanzhu naturally accepted it all. But before leaving, he didn't think about whether to visit her family, so he didn't take a closer look. He only brought a box of gold bars and two old ginsengs that he didn't have the chance to give to King Zheng Long this time to express his feelings. Now that he is the first time he has been visiting the Su family, he naturally cannot enter empty-handed. When Ye Ruchuan leaves, Ding Chunshan immediately prepares a souvenir for him.

Ding Chunshan has always been capable and has a good job. He will come back soon. Two pieces of cloth and two cans of tea.

When He Hanzhu saw it, he asked him to take it back to the capital for his own use.

The boss is dissatisfied with what he has prepared.

In fact, things are all good things, and they are not cheap. The relationship between the boss and the Su family will not be rude to bring such a souvenir to the door.

Ding Chunshan felt a little aggrieved and did not dare to object, so he said he would buy it again, but He Hanzhu called him and went out in person.

The business of the Xu Mansion is well developed, and various shops are lined up. Knowing that her mother should be an old-fashioned woman, He Hanzhu prepared two top-notch satin pieces, a sable fur coat, and a pair of phoenix bird jewelry with gold and jade. Ding Chunshan was surprised.

Indeed, compared with the gifts prepared by the boss, the things you bought are not enough to take them back for your own use.

He Hanzhu prepared things and came back to change his clothes.
Chapter completed!
