Chapter 4 The Great Marshal's Mansion

Ye Chunhao went back to the house and put the two apples back on the table, each of the apples broke a piece of skin, but it was not so bad that he couldn't eat it. She sat down and looked at the two apples, thinking that this apple was supposed to be sent to the second brother, but the second brother did not eat it, but he took one. It's better not to spread this matter, otherwise people will think that I ran out to deliver apples to the governor without the third aunt's wife, wouldn't it become a scandalous story?

Thinking of this, she actually had an awkward feeling in her heart, no matter how she couldn't get rid of it, until it was time for class in the afternoon, she gradually threw away this thought.

In the west wing of the opposite door, she taught the third aunt to read and write, as well as the simplest English - now modern young people can speak a few words of foreign language, do not understand foreign language, and it is inconvenient to order food in the restaurant, so the third aunt and wife made up her mind that it is necessary to learn a few foreign words and pretend to be a façade.

After writing a few English words in twists and turns, the third aunt felt tired and had to rest after class. Ye Chunhao walked up to her and sat down, and said, "Third aunt's wife—"

The third aunt immediately raised her fist at her: "Beat you! What do you call me?"

Ye Chunhao reacted at this time and couldn't help laughing. The third aunt's maiden name is Lin, and her maiden name is Lin Yannong, and she is only in her early twenties, so she must ask Ye Chun to call her sister. Ye Chunhao forgot about it for a while, and this time he smiled and said, "Okay, don't use force, I'll call you Sister Yan again." Let me ask you, do you still want to go out after afternoon tea?"

The third aunt put her elbows on the table and looked out the window with her cheeks in her hands: "The weather is so good, how can you stay at home?"

"Then I won't be with you today. I want to warm the book. ”

The third aunt's wife had a pair of charming Danfeng eyes, and then the black eyes rolled under her eyelids leisurely and looked at her: "Wen Shu? I'm still hot on the book! What's so interesting about the book, it's worth looking at it over and over again?"

Ye Chunhao replied: "I just don't accompany you for a day occasionally, what's the matter." Besides, you don't lack me as a chaperone, isn't the governor always waiting for you in the theater garden?

The third aunt's wife pursed her lips and smiled: "Fool, who told you that he was waiting for me?"

Ye Chun saw that she was not funny, so he twisted his face: "I don't care who you two husband and wife are waiting for, and who is waiting for whom, isn't it the same?"

The third aunt sighed in a tone: "Husband and wife, you really exalt me by saying this." Don't mention my business for now, I just ask you, what do you think of Dashuai?"

Ye Chunhao immediately became vigilant, but his face was calm: "I've only seen him a few times, how do you know what kind of person he is?" ”

The third aunt grinned: "I don't wronged you, right?"

Ye Chunhao was stunned, and then turned his face blank: "Sister Yan, if you talk nonsense again, I'm annoyed." ”

The third aunt's eyes widened and she made an innocent appearance: "What are you annoyed about? Haven't you heard such a saying, 'I'd rather be a heroic concubine than a husband and wife'? Could it be that you are willing to go out and marry an ordinary college graduate, earn a salary of twenty or thirty yuan a month, and you can't even afford to hire an old mother, so you are so poor that you don't want anything?"

"I didn't want to marry a college graduate either. ”

"That—is it possible, the person in your heart is the messenger at the door yesterday?"

"More and more nonsense!"

The third aunt nodded: "I said, you are such a flower-like person, and you have also studied, no matter how good it is, you will not be good with a poor listener." ”

Ye Chunhao blushed and said, "Don't interrogate me, I'll tell you the truth, I don't want to marry at all." How many of today's women marry for love? Even if it is a marriage of free love, after marriage, the man likes the new and hates the old, and the love has long faded and disappeared. ”

The third aunt looked at her with a smile: "And then?"

"I don't think marriage is good for women. ”

"Why is it not good?" The third aunt retorted with a smile: "It's like me, I'm in my mother's house, and it's just that I can eat and dress warmly, but since I got married here, the delicious food is exhausted, the good clothes are exhausted, and the fun is exhausted, isn't this the benefit of getting married?"

Ye Chunhao was silent for a moment, and finally shook his head: "You don't have freedom." ”

The third aunt spread her hands: "What's the use of me wanting to be free?"

Ye Chunhao continued to shake his head, and there were more fierce words in his heart, but he refused to say it, for fear that if he said it harshly, he would offend people. Seeing that she was silent, the third aunt simply grabbed her hand, lowered her voice and smiled: "Let me tell you the truth, Dashuai likes you a lot, so I want to ask what you mean——"

Ye Chun patted the back of her hand lightly: "I didn't hear what you just said, and you don't say it again." If you say it again, I'll just treat you as if you're going to drive me away. ”

The third aunt withdrew her hand and rolled her eyes disapprerovingly: "Huh!"

Ye Chunhao couldn't deliver apples in the morning, and in the afternoon, he was said by the third aunt's wife, as if he was frustrated, and even if he was free in the evening, he was too lazy to go to see Zhangjiatian again.

Zhang Jiatian didn't know what happened to Ye Chunhao, and when he woke up in the afternoon, he sat in the gatehouse, listening to the old messengers chewing their tongues and gossiping. There are always expired newspapers in the concierge, and some people recognize the newspaper word by word, and after recognizing it for a while, they lowered their voices and said, "Our wife made a divorce, why did she report it again?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the concierge immediately changed the topic, Zhang Jiatian listened for a while, heard a little eyebrows, and was surprised: "What? Divorce? Divorce - what is it?"

The man who read the newspaper replied: "This word is a foreign word, to put it bluntly, a man's divorce from a woman is tantamount to divorce his wife, and if a woman wants to divorce a man, it will be considered a divorce!"

Zhang Jiatian used his brain and recalled: "Isn't it a foreigner who divorces?"

The reader of the newspaper said, "Our wife is a foreigner!"

"Would the Governor be willing?"

"Hasn't this been a lawsuit for more than a year? My wife secretly went to the Tianjin Concession at the end of the year before last and never came back. ”

When Zhang Jiatian heard this, he laughed: "This is really strange." If you want me to say, if the girls are disobedient, they will be beaten up directly with their hair and stink, and wrap up!"

Reading the newspaper, he slapped his thigh: "Who says it's not! Our wife is so beautiful that our superintendent is reluctant to beat her, so she is used to the sky." If you don't talk about the red face!"

At this point, it turned to the relationship between the governor and the childhood sweetheart of the troubled water, Zhang Jiatian couldn't interject, he could only sit aside and listen, but he gained a lot of knowledge. It turned out that Lei Duli and Wo Shui had known each other since they were teenagers, and they were clearly a pair of golden boys and girls, and no one would have thought that now the jade girls would divorce the golden boys. In addition to Mrs. Jade, there are two other aunts and wives in the Golden Boy Governor, and the two aunts and wives are also girls from good families - excellent fireworks women, although the Inspector occasionally loves, but resolutely does not recruit at home. It is precisely because of this that the governor has gained the reputation of a "righteous gentleman".

Everyone said something, Zhang Jiatian was listening to it with taste, but there was a bustle outside the gatehouse. He was sitting at the door, when he got up and pushed the door and looked out, and saw several soldiers carrying a huge wooden box, shouting to enter the door. An adjutant stood inside the door, shouting loudly for directions, but the threshold of the gate was too high, and the soldiers were already so tired that their legs trembled. Zhang Jiatian saw that one of the thin soldiers was shaking and about to fall, and without thinking about it, he took a big step over and helped him carry a corner of the box: "Brother, be careful!"

As soon as he carried it, the soldier stumbled down, humming and never getting up again. The adjutant scolded, and then said to Zhang Jiatian: "You are big, help, thank you back!"

Zhang Jiatian knew that he was currently a person in the "mansion", not a person in the team, and he was not in the same faction as the adjutant, so it was understandable that the adjutant would be polite to himself. He was in good health, and he had always spared no effort, he smiled at the adjutant and nodded, he was not timid, and asked, "Where is this big guy going?"

The adjutant turned to lead the way and replied, "Go to the marshal." ”

When Zhang Jiatian heard this, he was quite happy, because he was tired of staying in the gatehouse, and he had long wanted to find an opportunity to walk deep into this house. After only passing through a courtyard, the adjutant asked them to stand in front of a western-style building. The wooden box fell to the ground, and two soldiers stepped forward with crowbars, and with three strokes and five by two, they pry the nails and opened the box, which turned out to be a piano.

The piano is wrapped in a white cloth, which is impermeable. Seeing that the adjutant did not let him go, Zhang Jiatian sent the Buddha to the west, and carried the piano all the way into the building with the soldiers.

The piano weighed him down, and he gasped into the building, and suddenly heard the adjutant shout "Great Commander" in front of him. At the same time, a drop of his hot sweat fell, not broken into eight petals, because the carpet more than an inch thick was spread in the building, which absorbed his sweat silently.

Then, for the first time, he heard Inspector Lei's voice.

Inspector Lei instructed the adjutant to carry the piano to the empty room, and his words were concise and to the point.

The empty room was at the end of the first floor, but it wasn't empty at all, it had all the furniture it should have, except for a corner that was waiting for the piano to come. Everyone cooperated to put down the grand piano steadily, and the soldiers sweated silently, without a trace of atmosphere, but Zhang Jiatian was an ignorant of the rules, wiping sweat with his sleeves, he took a few steps back, shook his shoulders and twisted his waist. Panting and raising his head, he took the opportunity to look at the furniture in this room, his eyes turned from the inside to the outside, he panted and turned his head again, and saw Inspector Lei.

He had no idea when Inspector Lei had arrived!

With his arms folded around his chest, he stood leaning against the doorframe, just a stone's throw away from him. He was shocked, he took a breath of air, and with a snort, it all sprayed on Lei Duli's face.

Lei Duli looked at him in amazement, but he didn't turn his face.
