Mid-Autumn night. (The fastest update speed is in Aishang Novel Network biquge.info) The moon is bright and the stars are scarce, and people who are outside the detention see the reunion of the moon, and the bright and soft moonlight is sprinkled in their hearts, and they have a special feeling.

In the evening, Chinatown was lit up with lights and festive lights, and Situ Nan then attended a banquet held by Chen Tianming.

Although there were some twists and turns during the day, everyone put aside their unhappiness at this moment and gathered together.

Eating mooncakes is a common practice during the Mid-Autumn Festival. To be honest, Situ Nan doesn't like to eat mooncakes much, but his appetite is not bad tonight.

"The moon is the hometown of Ming, and the people and the moon are reunited."

Looking up at the moon and eating moon cakes seems to be able to comfort the thoughts in my heart a little.

It is said that when the uprising against the Yuan at the end of the Yuan Dynasty was carried out, the Han people put the notes of the agreed uprising in the moon cakes, and passed the guò moon cakes to convey the message of the uprising. After Zhu Yuanzhang, who was born in mud legs, became the emperor, he has always preserved this tradition. Now although we Han Chinese have driven out the Manchu aristocracy, the fruits of our revolution have been stolen by the Beiyang warlords. After Yuan Shikai's death, Duan Qirui refused to restore the "Provisional Covenant Law", and we revolutionaries must resolutely fight against them.

The revolution has a long way to go, and we still need comrades to continue to work hard to support Mr. Sun, support the Three People's Principles, and rejuvenate our great nation. ”

It sounded impassioned, and the person who said it raised his fist at the end, looking very powerful.

Situ Nan didn't expect to meet the revolutionaries here again, and the person who gave the speech on the stage, Situ Nan, also knew Lin Yifu, who had come to his house last time, and this time he used this place as a fundraising meeting for speeches.

An Liang Tang had a close relationship with the Revolutionary Party, and Situ Meideng, the chief scoop of An Liang Tang, had always followed Sun Yat-sen, so many of the backbone of An Liang Tang joined the League, and some of them had returned to China to fight for the revolution.

More than 30 of the 72 martyrs of Huanghuagang who died in the Guangzhou Uprising (the actual number is 86) were Chinese from overseas, most of whom were Chinese from Southeast Asia and some from the United States.

There is money to pay, but there is no money to contribute. This is a very good saying, most of the righteous people who were able to return to China to participate in the uprising were young people born of workers and peasants, who lived at the bottom, were the most oppressed, were more likely to be inspired, had a more sacrificial spirit, and were a staunch force for the revolution.

For the rich, they naturally support the revolution, but they rarely participate in the revolution in person, and it is absolutely impossible for them to carry guns.

Well, it seems that the leaders of those revolutionary parties rarely carry guns, not to mention the tide of war skills, once they see a bad opportunity, they will smear oil on the soles of their feet and run away! There are very few revolutionary leaders who have died, and those who have died are all in the "Brothers, rush me!" "Flat-headed soldiers charging under the slogan.

Businessmen pay attention to harmony and make money, and it is common for them to compromise in the shopping mall, which is the so-called "two-sided nature of national capitalists"!

Both the Qing government and the Beiyang government had great influence among the overseas Chinese, because they were the central government and were recognized by the foreign powers, so the Chinese businessmen contributed to the revolution and at the same time did business with the Chinese government, whether it was the Manchu or Beiyang government.

Among the overseas Chinese, apart from the Chinese in Southeast Asia, the Chinese in the United States have the highest revolutionary enthusiasm. Lin Yifu's words resonated with a group of hot-blooded young people, and many people donated generously, like Situ Yong, who was even more screaming, eager to kill back single-handedly.

There were also some Chinese businessmen present, but it was more difficult for Chinese businessmen to mix in the United States, so there were even fewer Chinese businessmen who mixed well, and they didn't know much about Situ Nan.

But isn't this what banquets and socializing are all about? The most sociable people in the world, except for politicians, are businessmen. Politicians put on a show to expand their influence, while businessmen look for more opportunities.

Situ Nan naturally didn't need to befriend anyone, but in this harmonious atmosphere, he also met a few Chinese businessmen, all of whom were comprador businesses of foreign firms.

Some businessmen responded positively and donated a lot of money, while others followed the crowd and were polite.

Rao is like this, in less than an hour, he raised $30,000, including Situ Nan's share. He broke his promise a little, the last time Lin Yifu came to the door, Situ Nan said that it was the first and last donation to the revolutionary party, but in a situation like tonight, Situ Nan could only go with the flow.

"Are you Mr. Situ?"

Situ Nan looked back, and a man in his forties and fifties, dressed in a decent suit, walked in front of him with a ten-year-old girl in his hand.

"Well, I'm Situ Nan. You are? ”

"The contemptible is Song Jiashu, you can call me Charlie Song. This is my daughter Song Meiling. Song Jiashu introduced.

Situ Nan glanced at this strange man, he didn't look outstanding, and no one recognized him when he walked on the street, but among the many long shirts around, a neat suit seemed to be more foreign!

Situ Nan is also dressed in a suit, and he is used to this past and present life. Speaking of clothing, Situ Nan usually wears denim at home, but he is exempt when he goes out. In this year, cowboy is synonymous with workers, which is more cheep and not quite in line with Situ Nan's identity.

Situ Nan's gaze would not stay next to an old man for more than three seconds, not to mention that there was a girl standing next to this old man? I think most people's attention will be wisely chosen, right?

Bright eyes and bright teeth, fair skin, combing bangs, wearing a white dress, exuding the breath of youth, this girl is good! Situ Nan thought to himself.

"Fortunately, Mr. Song, please take a seat." It was the first time Situ Nan had seen Song Jiashu, this person seemed to be well-cultivated, and he gave Situ Nan a good impression, so he warmly invited them to sit down.

"Mr. Situ is really young and promising! There aren't many such talents! Song Jiashu complimented.

During the time he returned to the United States, Song Jiashu heard some things about Situ Nan and knew that this young man was very rich, but his reputation was not big and somewhat mysterious.

This time I didn't expect to meet Situ Nan at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet in San Francisco's Chinatown, originally Song Jiashu didn't know that Situ Nan was also there, just now when he was chatting with his good friend Lin Yifu, he learned from Lin Yifu that the man who looked a little foreign not far away was Situ Nan, so he brought his daughter over.

"Mr. Song has won the award." Situ Nan wanted to compliment Song Jiashu a few words, but found that he didn't know this person at all, so he had to say: "Mr. Song is so blessed, Ling Yuan is really a lady." ”

Song Meiling was a little proud after hearing this, she looked at Situ Nan, she was generous, and she didn't want to blush when she heard other people's praise like other women. This man is white and clean, and his smile is a little good-looking, especially the deep eye sockets and hooked nose, which is a bit different, which is more in line with the aesthetics of the Westernized Song Meiling.

"I've heard some people praise Mr. Situ for his youth and promising, but I don't know what business Mr. Situ does?" Song Meiling asked curiously.

I don't even know you, how much can you know about me? Dare to love those young talents, young and promising are all clichés, as if you say to others, "Have you eaten?" And then the others came back to "eating", the same without much nutrition. Situ Nan thought.

"I've done almost any business to make money, oil, steel, food, and medicine." Situ Nan replied modestly.

"Oh! It turns out that Mr. Situ is doing the business of a foreign firm? If we have the opportunity, we can cooperate, our Song family also operates some business in Shanghai, and many machines imported from the United States in Shanghai have passed through our foreign company. ”

Song Meiling said happily.

Now she is still a little naïve, although she is well-educated, but her age is limited and her knowledge is limited, so she thinks that it is natural for her to do such a variety of business. But compared to most Chinese girls, she is rare.

Situ Nan didn't explain anything, he looked at Song Jiashu and found that Song Jiashu was smiling, looking a little kind. What his daughter said was also his idea, as for the cooperation proposed by Song Meiling, it should have been proposed by him, the father, but he loved this daughter very much, so he was not angry at all, and he couldn't ask for cooperation with Situ Nan.

In Shanghai, where there are many giant merchants, the Song Jiashu in front of him, who has changed from a missionary to a businessman, can only be regarded as a small family.

"Okay, there's a chance we can all work together." Situ Nan readily agreed, although he didn't have such a long hand to reach China, but China is indeed a big market, and many large American companies have business dealings in China. After Britain temporarily withdrew from the Chinese market, the Americans who followed in their heels were competing with the Japanese in China.

Song Jiashu chatted for a while and then left, returning to Lin Yifu's side to entertain his revolutionary party friends. Although he has had a cheap son-in-law over the years, he has not been angry to death, but Song Jiashu is too close to the revolutionary party and cannot be separated.

Situ Nan thought that Song Meiling would also leave, but unfortunately not, she stayed and continued to talk with Situ Nan.

What made Situ Nan a little strange was that the daughter of the Song family did not speak Chinese very well, and some words stammered.

"I went to school in the United States when I was 11 years old, and I usually don't speak much Chinese, which makes Mr. Situ smile." Song Meiling said apologetically.

"Hehehe. It's okay, understandable. Situ Nan waved his hand without mind, and said with a smile: "Miss Song just speaks English, I can understand." ”

Soong Meiling's English is much better than Chinese, and from her words, Situ Nan knows that this is a more Westernized Chinese than herself.

How so? Soong Meiling studied at Piedmont School and Wesley College for Women in Summit Township, New Jersey, and in May Reading, Georgia, before entering Wellesley College in Massachusetts in 1912.

No wonder this girl looks foreign, when I talked to her, I found that she was warm and sincere, direct and generous, eloquent, quick thinking, not hiding her thoughts at all, and trying to grasp the initiative of the conversation, not at all like the Chinese woman in Situ Nan's impression.

A bit of a strong woman! It's hard to say that there is a way to run a family in the future, but the skill of the imperial husband is determined by reading. Situ Nan thought with some gossip.

"By the way, Mr. Szeto, what do you think of the current war in Europe?" Song Meiling asked.

"I don't think much of it, it's a dog-eat-dog war, but it's made a lot of money for the Americans." Situ Nan didn't want to discuss the topic of war with a woman!

Situ Nan's words Song Meiling really don't know how to evaluate them well, what he said is the truth, and American newspapers also report it like this, but it is not as direct as Situ Nan, which sounds a little harsh.

"But war is always a cruel thing, it kills a lot of people, and I hope the merciful Lord will save those poor people!" Song Meiling said with some prayer.

The words of mercy for all beings actually came out of the mouth of a ten-year-old girl, this girl is really a little naïve! But it looks quite religious.

Situ Nan found it funny, he thought he was not a believer in the Lord, he was used to seeing too much death, and his heart was already as black as ink. Heaven and earth are not benevolent to all things as a donkey (this word can't be typed, and you can't find it in the dictionary, sweat!) Dogs, this is a bloody time, and people have to be kind, but they don't always have to be merciful.

Situ Nan remembered that he was still ecstatic at the outbreak of war! If the world doesn't fight, how can Americans do business? It's like being addicted, even if others don't fight, the United States will provoke a war. As for the role of the war in promoting the US economy, Situ Nan has a profound understanding.

"Mr. Situ, what are you thinking? Why don't you speak? Song Meiling saw Situ Nan's silent appearance, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

"I'm touched by Miss Song's kindness." Situ Nan had to admit that his heart was old.

"By the way, I just heard Miss Song say that she has almost graduated, do you have any plans?" Situ Nan saw that Song Meiling was very talkative, well-educated, and highly educated, wasn't this an ideal secretary? A thought flashed through him.

"I plan to go to the school after the Mid-Autumn Festival to go through the graduation procedures, and then return to China, and maybe work in the church." Song Meiling said.

"Oh!" It turned out that the people had already made arrangements, and it was to serve the Lord, Situ Nan was really embarrassed to pry the corner of the Lord, so he dispelled the idea of asking her to be his secretary.

Situ Nan was still an atheist before, but even such a bloody thing happened to him, and he had a trace of awe of the ethereal gods.

He didn't know which way he was brought by the gods, whether it was the boundless Dharma or the omnipotence of God or the mysterious Allah?

Situ Nan hasn't figured it out yet, and it's not good to casually become the servant of a guy with a halo, so he can only stay away. Far from it, it is perfunctory.

"By the way, take the liberty of asking, is that your dad's best friend?" Situ Nan saw Song Jiashu and Lin Yifu talking happily in the distance, so he pouted in that direction and asked casually.

"Uncle Lin and my family are friends, he is Mr. Sun's right-hand man, my father is a good friend of Mr. Sun, and my sister is still Mr. Sun's secretary? Mr. Sun is the leader of the revolution! Song Meiling said Mr. Sun, and her appearance became respectful.

Damn, how do you come across these revolutionaries everywhere you go?

Situ Nan couldn't help but feel that although the revolutionary party was chaotic and mixed, it could not become a big deal, but its family connections were extensive and it had inextricable relations with overseas Chinese, and it could eat well wherever it went.

"Your sister? Who is your sister? Situ Nan then asked.

Looking at this Song Meiling's appearance, you know that her sister is not far behind, Lao Song is really blessed, with such a handsome girl, can she be cheaper for herself?

"I have two older sisters, the eldest sister Song Ailing and the second sister Song Qingling. They all worked as secretaries for Mr. Sun, first the eldest sister, and then when she got married, my second sister took her place. However, my second sister later married Mr. Sun, but the family did not agree. Song Meiling sighed.

Song Ailing? I don't know!

Song Qingling? Sound familiar? also married Sun Dacang???

By the way, her name is Song Meiling, isn't this the three sisters of the Song family?

My day! it! It seems that I have eaten too much steak, and my memory is not very good! I really don't know Mount Tai, and I still lose myself as a traveler!

There is a **oss in front of me, I don't even think of it, is there anything louder in this Republic of China than the three sisters of the Song family? In history, except for the three sisters of Empress Wu Zetian, there is no three sisters of any family who can be as prominent as the three sisters of the Song family. Why didn't you react at all?

Situ Nan patted his head with some annoyance, "Is your brother Song Ziwen?" Know a bald guy with the surname Jiang? Situ Nan stared at Song Meiling, and wanted to make a final confirmation.

"Yes, my brother's name is Song Ziwen, how do you know that my brother's name is Song Ziwen!" Song Meiling was surprised, "Jiang bald, don't you know?" Who is he? Song Meiling was a little puzzled by this question.

"Don't you know? I don't even know each other. Situ Nan didn't say anything, he had already confirmed that the Westernized girl in front of him who couldn't even speak Chinese well was the famous first lady Song Meiling in the future!

Three of the four major families of the Republic of China, Jiang Song Kong Chen, and the one next door were opened by their friends, and several of them colluded with each other to monopolize the military, political, and economic resources of the Republic of China government, and they were extremely powerful for a while! What is **, this is it, the army is opened by our son-in-law, the Executive Yuan is also opened by our family, and the bank is also opened by our family, well, sometimes I get tired of playing, so I will change the Executive Yuan and the bank to play, of course, you can go to work in the party department, I will call Chen Guofu.

Song Meiling felt that Situ Nan was startled at first, and then looked at herself as if she was smiling, her attitude was a little playful, and she couldn't help but wonder.

"Is there anything wrong?" Song Meiling asked.

"Nope."

Situ Nan thought to himself that he had just overdone it, and now the Song family has not yet made a fortune, it is just a small comprador in Shanghai, and Song Meiling, who is sitting in front of him, is even a somewhat naïve little girl who has not graduated. (Although it is well developed). As for Jiang Guangtou, he hasn't been a gangster anywhere!

As the saying goes, the name of a person is the shadow of a tree, and the name of the Song family is so thunderous that Situ Nan was a little frightened at first and made a big fuss.

Actually, it's not necessary at all! Situ Nan comforted himself and slowly settled down in his heart. Now there are still more than ten years before the Song family has made a fortune, and now they are much stronger than the Song family, they are the strong, they are the weak, even if they have a career in the Song family?

The Four Great Families are just a flash in the pan of the nouveau riche, even when they were in their heyday. Can it be compared to a consortium in the United States?

After reversing his mentality, Situ Nan became calm and confident. Although he had a good impression of Song Meiling and even wanted to secretary her, after knowing her true identity, the little enthusiasm in Situ Nan's heart was gone.

The Song family started by speculative revolution, and their fate was closely linked to the revolutionary party, and it was really difficult for him to get too close to them, to be honest, he had a very bad impression of the four major families.

Jiang Guangtou is still a brother-in-law with Sun, no wonder Sun passed the position to Jiang. But this grandson is really a meat and vegetarian sacrifice, the uncle fell in love with the little Lori, and turned his old friend Song Jiashu into a father-in-law!

Poor old Song, this old face, Balabala is disgraced!

This great man is different! Compared to this, it is really a small thing to take Mary into the house by himself, far from it! It seems that I really can't become such a great man! Situ Nan shook his head.

However, not having deep friendship does not mean not making friends, keeping a certain distance from the Song family, and not combing or kissing is just right. Besides, knowing the future glory of the Song family, when they have not yet fully developed, it is also a good choice to invest in them.

Situ Nan thought a little meanly.

"Bang Bang!" There was a sound of gunpowder Aishang novel net burning.

"Wow! Watch the fireworks! It's so beautiful! Song Meiling was surprised.

Situ Nan looked up, the bright fireworks were like the scattered flowers of the heavenly maiden, and they were gorgeously burning in the air, and the brilliance and brilliance of that moment disappeared after a while.
