A few days later, Jianwan finally got out of the customs.

Although everyone did not show it on their faces, they all inevitably wanted to ask how her poems were written. But no one was embarrassed to speak first, and it wasn't until dinner that Mei Shan was the first to ask.

Wen Jianwan was a little surprised.

She has been locking herself in her room to write poems for the past few days, but how can poems be so easy to write. She scribbled and changed, but she was not satisfied, and after seven days, only six words were left on the paper, and she was really depressed in the room, so she came out, but how embarrassed did she say it.

Fortunately, Mei Shan rescued her in time: "Okay, how can this poem be made one day." Locking yourself in your room all day is going to suffocate you. We see that we are so beautiful and clever, but don't be like the nerds in the ancients, in order to recite a poem, we don't even know that we bumped into people. ”

Wen Jingshu also laughed: "That's the reason." ”

Wen Jianning listened from the sidelines, knowing that Mei Shan was talking about the allusion to Jia Island, and she didn't know where she heard it. She thought quietly in her heart that if Wen Jianwan could really have Jia Dao's scrutiny energy, maybe she could really make a career.

In the past few years, she and Jianwan have been competing openly and secretly, and she knows a little bit about Jianwan.

Wen Jingshu suddenly asked, "I don't know how the writing is going?"

Wen Jianning lowered his eyes, put down his hand and said, "It's just writing and playing, and I don't plan to cast it." I remembered to write it, but now I don't know where I lost it. ”

Mei Shan glanced at her and smiled: "I remember that when you were a child, you were very good at speaking ancient humanistic crepes, and you worked so hard, maybe you can write about it, and we can produce two talented girls in our family." ”

The knowing smile on her face made Wen Jianning feel annoyed, she didn't answer out loud, and lowered her head to drink tea as a cover.

Wen Jingshu, who was listening on the side, had a thoughtful look on her face, and she didn't know what she thought.

Seeing that Wan had never seen the topic fall on Wen Jianning, he hurriedly pulled the topic back: "I said before that I would wear new clothes at the coming-of-age ceremony next month, but today I asked the tailor to ask me, but I was told that it was not done yet." The new styles of dresses in the department store are fine, but they are not custom-made, and they don't fit in the end. ”

That's right, Jianwan is sixteen years old this year, and according to British custom, it's time to hold a coming-of-age ceremony for her and officially enter the social occasion. The coming-of-age dance will be held on the day of Jianwan's birthday next month, when Wen Jingshu and her friends will invite all the celebrities they know to come to celebrate Jianwan. Wen Jianning and the others are younger, although they are not yet old, but as Jianwan's sisters, they will also dress up together to attend at that time.

Seeing that they were enthusiastically discussing the details of the coming-of-age ceremony, Wen Jianning was not interested in these things, so he casually found an excuse to go upstairs.

When he returned to the room, Wen Jianning opened the lock of the drawer and pulled out the envelope that had been prepared.

It contains a short story she just finished yesterday, and she plans to submit it to a tabloid called "Sing Tao Miscellaneous Talk".

This tabloid is one of the relatively large tabloids in the market recently, and the newspaper has been established for more than a year, which is considered to be the long-lived of many small tabloid companies in Hong Kong. Wen Jianning estimated that it would not go out of business at least next month, so he dared to submit it.

Before the letter was returned, the day of Wen Jianwan's coming-of-age ceremony arrived soon.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, everyone gathered in the living room to prepare for the evening ball. But after waiting for a long time, Wen Baiqing still didn't arrive. It was supposed that he should arrive at the Kowloon Pier at noon today, but so far there has been no news of the person sent to pick him up.

Wen Jingshu kept looking at the wall clock on the wall and said, "What time is it, why hasn't Bai Qing arrived yet?" ”

Mei Shan glanced at the sky outside and said with a smile: "It may be that the weather has been bad these days, and the ship has been delayed." ”

Wen Jingshu frowned and said, "This kid, I sent him a telegram to buy a ticket early, but he won't arrive until today." ”

Mei Shan soothed: "Okay, let's send someone to the dock to see what's going on." ”

Seeing Wan said casually: "What are you anxious about, it's just that the ship is late." Could it be that Cousin Bai Qing can't arrive today, so the guests don't have to entertain. After all, someone picked him up at the dock, and he didn't know the road, he was such a big person, and he was afraid that he would lose it. ”

As soon as her voice fell, everyone in the living room looked at her with strange eyes.

Jianwan only felt inexplicable, but she didn't forget to mock Wen Jianning: "Look at what I do, am I not right? Third sister, what do you think?"

Wen Jianning didn't want to say more to her, so he got up directly: "I'll go to the dock." ”

Mei Shan hurriedly reminded: "If the Baiqing people haven't arrived yet, don't forget to come back early, don't miss the dinner." ”

Wen Jianning nodded, indicating that he understood.

Jianxiu on the side also reminded: "It looks like it's going to rain outside, you remember to bring an umbrella." ”

Seeing Wan sneered when he heard this: "The sky outside has been overcast for a few days, but anyone with long eyes knows that they have to bring an umbrella out, and they need you to remind them." ”

Seeing that Xiu was silent for a moment.

Wen Jianning turned his head and sneered: "Anyone who knows etiquette knows that when others talk, they should listen quietly on the side, and they need you to remind them." On weekdays, she is too lazy to worry about Jianwan, but it is another thing to involve Jianxiu.

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Mei Shan hurriedly came out to be a peacemaker: "Okay, okay, Jianning, you go and come back quickly, and Jianwan, you should also hurry up and go upstairs to try on the dress again." ”

Only then did the two of them die down, and they both sneered and left.

Wen Jianning stood under the corridor and saw that the sky was overcast and drizzling.

She opened her umbrella and walked down the stairs to get into the car outside the gate.

The car was still halfway through the road, and the rain was getting heavier.

Dense raindrops smashed on the car cover, making a subtle clattering sound. The raindrops swept by the wind on the car glass meandered into transparent water marks, blurring everything outside the car window.

By the time we got to the pier, it had turned into a downpour.

Wen Jianning had just gotten out of the car with an umbrella, when he heard the driver say, "Isn't that Young Master Bai Qing?"

She hurriedly looked up, only to see that it was Wen Baiqing and his party who were hurrying towards them in the rain.

Wen Jianning hurriedly stepped forward and tiptoed to hold an umbrella for him, "Why did you arrive so late." ”

Six years have passed, Wen Baiqing has grown into a young man in his twenties, and now Wen Jianning is not at the position of his chest.

Wen Baiqing entered the military academy three years ago, and he will graduate in another year. Such a long period of military school career has already made him take off the youthful spirit of the year, and his body is always as straight as a pine when he walks, sits and lies down, his eyebrows are crisp and sharp, and his whole body reveals a tough military temperament.

He naturally took the umbrella in her hand and held it for the two of them, and said with a sneering face: "The ship has already sailed into the port, but it has been parked there and refused to let go." A Japanese officer lost something and searched the whole boat, and then he put us off the boat. ”

Wen Jianning only felt that the Japanese were bullying people too much, and couldn't help frowning: "Don't talk about anything else for the time being, the British and French on the ship are willing to be humiliated by the Japanese like this?"

Wen Baiqing sneered: "The Japanese are not fools, they naturally politely ask the British and French to cooperate, and they naturally call us Chinese." ”

Wen Jianning saw that his anger had not subsided, and knew that there must have been a lot of unpleasantness in it, so he hurriedly changed the topic: "Okay, let's not talk about this, let's go back first." ”

The two got into the car one after the other and sat side by side in the back seat chatting.

The black car drove away from the dock and was stuck in a mud puddle on the way.

The driver and the servant finally pushed the car out, but found that the car was turned off and did not move, and the car lid was opened and looked at for a long time and could not be repaired, so they could only tell Wen Jianning the truth about their bad situation.

Wen Baiqing glanced at the pocket watch, estimated the time, turned his head to Wen Jianning and said, "It's already here, let's just walk for a while, and then sit back when we see the passing car, there should be too late." ”

Wen Jianning nodded: "You go find someone to tow it, and we'll take a taxi back." ”

The two got out of the car together and walked for a while with an umbrella before they felt regretful.

The weather was really bad, not to mention the car on the way, and I couldn't even see a single person.

The wind was fierce, the rain was pouring down, and the rain was pouring down from the top of the umbrella, bending the umbrella bones. Fortunately, the umbrella bones are quite strong, and they were not tossed apart by the wind and rain, and barely covered the wind and rain above their heads for the two of them.

But this little shelter did not have much effect on them, and the wind carried the rain from all directions, and in a short time, the clothes below their chests were all soaked.

And that's not even the most embarrassing.

Only then did he hear the horn of the car behind him, and before Wen Baiqing could pull Jianning to dodge, the car sped past them, throwing them all over in mud.

At this time, the brother and sister completely became soup chickens, not only soaked all over their bodies, but also splashed with mud spots everywhere.

Wen Jianning glanced at it and saw the license plate clearly before saying, "It's the Yan family's car." ”

Wen Baiqing does not live in Hong Kong permanently, and he knows very little about the celebrities here: "What Yan family?"

The Yan family is a well-known Chinese businessman in Hong Kong, and it is said that their ancestors went up and down the South Seas, started from scratch there, and later bought a British knighthood and came to Hong Kong to do business. After more than ten years of operation, it has now become one of the famous local snakes in Hong Kong.

After she finished speaking, Wen Baiqing looked suspicious: "How do you know so clearly?"

Wen Jianning explained: "A daughter of the Yan family is friends with Wen Jianwan, and I have seen her family's car. ”

Wen Baiqing was a little relieved after hearing this, and he still said in an old-fashioned tone: "You are still young now, don't think about socializing all day long like them." Only by studying hard can girls not get married and have children at a young age in the future, and go to other people's homes to be old mothers. ”

Rao didn't understand it before, but after so many years, he already knew what the hell the Wen family was fighting.

He didn't want Wen Jianning to be led by the Wen family's people to a detour.

Wen Jianning didn't want to talk to him.

She lifted the soaked sleeve of her arm and sneezed.

When she came out, she was only wearing a short-sleeved gown, which would be poured by the wind and rain, and the whole person was shivering with cold.

Wen Baiqing glanced at her, took off his coat and draped it over her shoulders.

After being wrapped in a wide coat, Wen Jianning's faintly blue face improved.

But it didn't take long for the coat to get wet.

The two people who were not very big in their hearts all remembered the Yan family in their hearts, and walked forward side by side for a while, Wen Jianning suddenly remembered and asked, "What happened to you, why did you suddenly think of borrowing money from me." ”

Wen Baiqing pursed the corners of his lips, looked at the vast rain curtain in front of him and did not speak.
