Chapter 128: Sheng Shuyi
Chapter 128 Sheng Shuyi
Although Yao Yun had some impressions of the guests staying at her house, after all, there were differences between men and women, and she didn't even know what the person's name was. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info even, if she hadn't had a good memory, maybe she wouldn't even remember what that person looked like.
"Or, I'll ask the third brother?" Seeing Shuyi's expression of excitement and eagerness, Yao Yun said with some uneasiness, "But that person is my eldest brother's friend, and the third brother may not understand, so don't get your hopes up too much." ā
"I know, Jiaojiao, don't be too psychologically burdened, it's better, it's not nothing. Sheng Shuyi took out her wallet from another world under the cover of the inner pocket of her clothes, opened it and took out a photo of her, her mother and Aunt Xu when she was a baby and handed it to Yao Yun, saying, "This is a photo of Aunt Xu when she was young, please take the time to show your third brother, and ask if it is very similar to your eldest brother's friend......
Yao Yun knew that Shuyi regarded Aunt Xu as her own aunt, and she looked calm on the surface, but in fact she must be very anxious in her heart, so after taking the photo, she immediately ran back to the third brother to inquire. Unfortunately, the servant said that the third brother had just gone out and didn't know where he had gone, so she had to return to the deck disappointed.
"It's okay, Heng Zhu is on the boat now, what's the difference between a day earlier and a day later?" Yao Yun not only provided clues, but also tried his best to help, which was already very good, Sheng Shuyi thanked herself again and again, and forcibly suppressed the eagerness in her heart.
Because of yesterday's incident, a few half-grown children did not dare to drill into the secluded place anymore, so they chatted on the deck with the sea breeze.
"I really want to eat hot steamed buns, I don't know if I can eat them in London......"
"Yes, in the past, I thought Western food was foreign and delicious, and I couldn't wait to eat it every day. Now that my wish has come true, I miss our own meal, not a big fish or meat, just a hot steamed bun!"
"Yes, I don't think there's any food, I can eat a big pot of steamed buns!"
āā¦ā¦ I heard that it was very humid and cold over there, and I don't know if we can stand it. ā
I heard from the teacher who taught me English, in fact, it is not as cold as our capital in winter, but there are few sunny days, wet and cold, and it is good to get used to it. ā
"Ahhh
"You still have the heart to bask in the sun, let's think about how to spend the time of living abroad safely!" Yang Jiamin is the oldest and most mature among them, and I heard that this time he went to his uncle's house that immigrated a few years ago. "Do you think that only our country is fighting wars everywhere? Europe is fighting more fiercely? Moreover, it is a fight between countries, not like those warlords in our country who are close to each other. It is said that although Britain was the victorious country, it was also a narrow victory, and even London was full of ruins, and in the first two years there was a shortage of materials, and I heard that there were many unemployed poor people. Those poor people have nothing to eat, so they go to rob others, especially people like us with oriental faces, and they are the focus of their robberies. Not only do they steal things, they kill people......"
Where had a group of young ladies who were ignorant of the world heard of such a terrible thing, they were immediately frightened and turned pale. Of course, they know that Europe is also at war, and even started earlier than Huaxia, but the capital is the imperial city of several dynasties in China, it is said that the dragon vein is located, and the sky has been turned upside down outside, and the capital has not been in chaos, at least they have not experienced the war and chaos in person when they are so big, and this time they hurriedly went out of the city, but the head of the family is not sure of the temperament of the new master of the capital, leaving a way back for the family. Therefore, these pampered ladies think that London is like the capital, and no matter how hard they fight outside, it will not be affected, not to mention that the large-scale war is over!
"Chinatown should be better, right?" asked Yao Yun timidly. One of her ancestors, who lost the bid for the position of patriarch, fled in a fit of rage, and later went to sea with a foreign fleet, went to England, and finally settled in London, where he was an early builder of Chinatown. Today, that group has become one of the major forces that operate and even control Chinatown.
"People in their own country are miserable, how good can a group of strangers be?" Yang Jiamin's uncle's house is in Chinatown, running a small restaurant, and her uncle often sees her aunt crying poor during correspondence, so in her impression, London is not much better, if it weren't for her cousin serving as the confidential secretary of the high-ranking officials of the original government, their family would not have fled from the capital in a panic for fear of being affected, and went to the uncle's house that she had always despised.
Sheng Shuyi listened silently, she felt that although Yang Jiamin could see through it better than several others, she was too pessimistic. The situation in London will not be as rosy as others think, nor will it be as miserable as she says, and perhaps her uncle's family has exaggerated the current state of life for some purpose.
Because of Yang Jiamin's words, several people were a little uninterested. They are not fools who believe what others say, but they also know that even if London is prosperous, as foreigners, they will not live better than in their hometown. Cowering in a tiny Chinatown, or trying to fit in with the locals, is not the life they used to want to live.
Later, I don't know who stopped talking first, anyway, when Sheng Shuyi came back to his senses, everyone had no interest in talking, and put their hands on the fence one by one, looking at the endless sea in a daze.
"Ah, big fish!" Yao Yun suddenly exclaimed.
Everyone hurriedly looked in the direction of her finger.
"It's a dolphin, right?"
"I think I've seen it in pictorials, and I've heard that it's very human. ā
"It's good-looking, if only I could touch it......"
The melancholy in the hearts of the girls was suddenly swept away, and they were all excited.
Sheng Shuyi was also infected by their happy emotions, and joined the ranks of onlookers watching the dolphins with laughter. Only Yang Jiamin, this child is probably in the youthful rebellion period of hating the world and hating the world, seeing that the group of silly musicians around him completely forgot the depression just now, and they were so heartless, they immediately rolled their eyes angrily. It's just that the dolphin is really cute, and the little girl saw that her friends didn't notice her, so she secretly glanced into the sea.
The reason why the girls are happy is as simple as that, a few dolphins can make them chat with interest for a morning, or even for several days.
When parting, Sheng Shuyi couldn't help but say a few more words, asking Yao Yun not to forget to ask her third brother about Aunt Xu's long-lost son.
When Sheng Shuyi arrived at her cabin, her mother and Dr. Field had already returned. Seeing that her mother looked very happy, Sheng Shuyi smiled and asked, "Mother, you had a lot of fun at the dance, right?"
"Well, happy. "After so many days in the cabin, it's hard to go out and relax, good music, good food, kind hosts, friendly guests...... How could she be unhappy?
Dr. Field was also very happy. He made new friends, got a stepping stone to a small circle that he didn't even dare to think of before, and most importantly, his wife was accepted into an extremely exclusive circle of wives!
To be honest, this has always been a piece of heart hidden in his heart.
London was a conservative city with a clear hierarchy, and he was of a commoner background and financially independent, without worrying about prominent family interfering in his marriage and his family not being able to influence his decisions. However, man is a social animal after all, and his wife cannot be hidden in his home like a canary. He needs to socialize, and so does his wife. However, he understood better than anyone else the narrow-mindedness of his seemingly gentlemanly and elegant friends and colleagues. Friends and colleagues may be superficially friendly to his wife, but their wives are not. He can do anything for his wife, but he can't change other people's preconceived notions, let alone force other people's wives to be friendly to his wife. So, it is obvious that the wife will be ostracized by his social circle initially, and perhaps even for a long time.
Now it's different, the wife is the first to integrate into a higher social circle, people have the instinct to seek advantage and avoid harm, no matter what friends, colleagues and their wives think, at least on the surface, they will be friendly, they will be enthusiastic, and they will try to get along with Cynthia.
Dr. Field believed in his wife's charms, and was confident that, putting aside her prejudices and getting off to a good start, she would soon be able to "conquer" those people.
Sheng Shuyi was afraid that boldly saying uncertain news would make Aunt Xu more disappointed the more hopeful, so she hesitated for a while, and finally didn't dare to say it in front of her, and only secretly told her mother while she was away.
Mother Sheng didn't expect such a coincidence, and hurriedly asked, "What did the girl say, how old is the child, what does she look like, what does she do, and why did she go to her house?"
Sheng Shuyi was dizzy by her mother's series of questions, scratched her head, and said with some shame: "Yao Yun said that she had met a few times, and she didn't even say a few words, she only knew that she was her eldest brother's friend, and she seemed to be about the same age as her eldest brother, and she didn't know anything else." ā
Mother Sheng walked back and forth in the cramped cabin several times, finally calmed down, and whispered in her daughter's ear: "Don't show your mouth, wait until we are 100% sure, and then tell your Aunt Xu." ā
"Hmm!" Sheng Shuyi nodded again and again, she didn't need her mother to tell her, she knew what to do.
The next day, Sheng Shuyi dressed up early and walked out of the cabin, and walked to the luxury cabin, wanting to see Yao Yun as soon as possible.
"Go to the inner room, my third brother is waiting for you, ask him something. Yao Yun was eating breakfast and pouted angrily when she mentioned yesterday's incident. It was the first time she had asked her to talk to her third brother about serious things, and the third brother took away the photos that Shuyi asked her to keep temporarily, but he didn't tell her anything! She asked too much, and the bad guy still glared at her! Hmph, if it weren't for the absence of her father and eldest brother, she wouldn't have swallowed her anger like this! )
