After Xie Huaichang arrived at the Chen family's apartment, he found out that the eldest sister knew more about the re-election of the two houses in Beijing than he needed, and the woman could always get some gossip she wanted through various methods.

Xie Huai'an was playing a piano in the apartment, which Wanlan used to pass the time, but she always couldn't calm down, and she couldn't play those boring etudes over and over again to consolidate the foundation, and over time, the piano began to be dusty and reduced to a plaything.

Xie Huai'an knocked some notes that were not out of tune, and smiled at Wu Xinyi while playing: "Sister Hengzhi doesn't play either, it's better for us to pull this back to Zhenjiang." ”

Wu Xinyi laughed lightly, her demeanor was calm, compared to when she was in Zhenjiang, she walked to Xie Huai'an's side, and also reached out and knocked two keys: "You will soon become unpopular here, Chongrong, I have to stay away from you before that." ”

Xie Huai'an laughed: "Only now do I have this awareness, I'm afraid it's too late." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Ji opened the door and came in, his expression was a little impatient, but after seeing him and Wu Xinyi, he became surprised again: "Pingqing called you too?"

Xie Huai'an got up to greet him and stretched out his hand to him: "There are always some privileges when you are born early, but when I see that she can't even disobey you, I feel much better, otherwise I always think that she is just a nest." ”

"Learn more from your sister, Zhen Zhen," Chen Ji took off his coat by the door and hung it on the shelf in the hallway, "Look how she's been so strict with Chongrong over the past twenty years." ”

"Don't hurt me, brother-in-law!" Xie Huaian immediately pretended to cry, "We still have to be relatives for life!"

Wu Xinyi pinched his waist: "Brother-in-law is joking, I once heard such a sentence, saying that those who really talk at home usually pretend to be incompetent in front of outsiders, but they are showing off their power outside, so it is possible that they really don't do anything." ”

When Chen Ji heard this assertion for the first time, he was quite curious: "Oh? So, it's not that you are strict with Chongrong, but that Chongrong is strict with you?"

Wu Xinyi glanced at Xie Huai'an with disgust: "I have married him so far, this is the first time I have left the house, and my brother-in-law said that this is not strict?"

Chen Ji knew that this was the rule of the family, so he just laughed and didn't answer. It was already her blessing to be able to stand in another city outside the Xie Mansion to complain about this, how many wives and young ladies of the great families in this world had never stepped out of the mansion in their lives, compared to them, Wanlan and Wu Xinyi were obviously lucky enough.

He smiled and went into the back room to change clothes, and when he came out, he asked, "Where is Pingqing?"

"I'm going to catch the only one who hasn't been so strictly controlled by her," Xie Huai'an sat down by the piano again, "It is said that it is because of the re-election of the two houses." ”

"Rare and strange," Chen Ji muttered, went to the kitchen to make tea, and took cups for Wu Xinyi and Xie Huaichang, "Sun Yuan and the two are bright for a while, and if one person wishes, they will not succeed the other, no matter what the result of the re-election of the two houses is, the north and the south will definitely fight, even if they have to make plans, it will be too late." ”

Xie Huai'an Qi said: "Since you know so thoroughly, why didn't you tell her earlier?"

Wu Xinyi smiled and interjected: "Sister may not be unthinkable of these words, what she can't think of, maybe Ning Yin will be involved." ”

Her voice fell, and the knock on the door sounded, and Wu Xinyi smiled and answered: "Sister is back." He took the initiative to open the door, but after the door opened, it was Xie Wantian standing outside.

Wu Xinyi was taken aback and exclaimed, "Ah Tian, why did you come here?"

Xie Wantian was a little embarrassed, her hair was stuck to her face, she looked dusty, she was also surprised when she saw Wu Xinyi in the Chen family's apartment: "Sister-in-law, why are you here?"

"Sister Lan went to pick up your second brother, and we are waiting for her. Wu Xinyi sideways for her to let them out, "You come in first, your brother-in-law and eldest brother are here." ”

Xie Wantian hesitated: "Why is the eldest brother here?"

Xie Huai'an had already walked over: "What, the eldest brother can't be here, what are you about that the eldest brother can't know?"

Xie Wantian reluctantly smiled: "Big brother said he was joking." ”

Wu Xinyi continued: "Not only the eldest brother, but also the eldest brother, sister-in-law and brother-in-law here, I'm afraid they can't know." ”

Xie Wantian was let into the house by Wu Xinyi, Chen Ji handed her a cup of tea, and took out her pocket watch to see: "Pingqing should be back soon." ”

Wanlan kept pulling Xie Huaichang downstairs, and when she went upstairs, the latter was still dissatisfied, complaining that she had delayed her big event.

She opened the door, and the people in the room turned their heads to look at her, which made Wanlan stunned: "What's wrong?"

Xie Huai'an exposed Xie Wantian behind him and teased: "There is a lost little girl crying and coming to you." ”

Wanlan frowned and walked over: "Ah Tian, how did you get here?"

Of course Wan Tian didn't cry, under Wu Xinyi's comfort, her emotions had calmed down a lot, and she also stood up to greet her sister at this moment: "I said I was going to see Ah Xian, and then I came, I came by water, but I didn't expect my sister to have something important." ”

Wanlan asked again: "You came, your parents don't know?"

Wan Tian shook her head: "I don't know, Sister, I have to tell you something." ”

Wanlan said "um": "What's the matter?"

"I'm going to marry George. ”

Wanlan was stunned for a few seconds and didn't react, she glanced at the people around her at a loss, and saw the same shocked expression on their faces.

Wan Tian laughed lightly: "If you can't understand, then I can say it more clearly, I want to elope with him." ”

Wanlan immediately shouted: "No! Absolutely not! You are a young lady from a serious family of poetry, books, etiquette, and righteousness, haven't you heard the phrase that the runner is a concubine?"

"If I were a concubine, then George would not have a wife in this life. Her voice was still so soft, but the glitter in her eyes was firm and unquestionable, "Sister, I'm not asking for your opinion, I'm just here to inform you, I hope you can come to my wedding, as well as the eldest brother and sister-in-law, the second brother and my brother-in-law, I hope you can all come." ”

Wan Lan was about to speak, but Wan Tian grabbed ahead of her: "But if you don't want to, I won't force everyone." ”

Wanlan was completely out of words, she had nothing to consol, nothing to threaten, she could only subconsciously turn her eyes out to look at the people around her, who were invited to this unjustified wedding with her.

Wu Xinyi was the first to speak: "Why did you tell us about such an important matter?"

"He's contacting the ship back to England that we're going to have a wedding in a Catholic church to tell the Western world that we're married. Wan Tian pursed her lips and smiled slightly, "Then return to Shanghai to hold a Chinese wedding." ”

"It's ......"

"Okay, sister," Wu Xinyi opened her mouth to stop Wanlan's angry reprimand, and said to Wantian: "You have to know that your sister is just worried about you." ”

"I know, sister-in-law, you don't have to explain it to her. "I want to tell everyone that I have made it clear that all the consequences of this decision, whether good or bad, are borne by me." But I know this to everyone but you. ”

"But Sister," she walked over slowly, stood in front of Wanlan, and stared into her eyes, "Do you really think that if I marry the young master of the Zheng family, it will be better off than marrying George?"

Wanlan waved her hand and said, "I don't object to you marrying George, on the contrary, I really hope that you can make a good deed, but I am against you marrying him like this." ”

"What is the title, sister, who gave it to me, parents? Because of their opposition, I can't even get the title given to me by others?" Wan Tian took another step forward, tears in her eyes, "Sister, I just want you to bless me, not everyone has the good luck of you and your brother-in-law, you can attract each other and love each other with your marriage partner, and not everyone has the same life as your sister-in-law, you can marry the person you want to marry." Sister, God didn't give me the blessings at my fingertips, I have to reach out to him myself. ”

Wanlan actually took a step back under her pressure step by step, Chen Ji stood behind her, stretched out his hand to support her waist: "Okay, Ah Tian, don't talk to your sister like that." You also know that when you suffer the worst, there is nothing you can stop her from taking it with you. ”

As he spoke, he raised his chin and motioned for Xie Huai'an to get the phone: "Call George over, even if he is determined to abduct our girl, then he should come to the door himself, instead of letting our girl run away from the house to find him." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door, Xie Huaichang stood by the door, opened the door easily, and saw George's smiling face: "Is it over?"

Xie Huaichang looked at her in disbelief: "You are waiting at the door, and you really let the woman go to charge for you?"

"I've just finished the charge for her, and although you don't understand it, that's the way it is," George smiled, "and we'll go back to England for a wedding dedicated to God, and then come to China and have another one for all who love her." If you think that having a daughter who eloped with someone in the family would affect your reputation, then we can settle in the United States, where I have a stake in a large plantation. ”

Wan Tian looked at him in the room, leaned sideways, smiled at him, her eyes sparkled, and then she stretched out her hand to him, palm down, and then walked over step by step, as noble as the Queen of England, awe-inspiring and inviolable. George, who was waiting for her outside the door, also raised his hand, palm up, and grasped her slender white fingers.

"Have you won, dear?" he asked in a low voice.

Wan Tian smiled: "Let's go." ”
