Two-three-five. Wife
Wu Xinyi didn't say too much about this issue, it is difficult for a Qing official to decide family affairs, and no matter how much outsiders say, it is not beneficial.
During the meal, Wanlan said that she was about to officially join Xinmin Company, responsible for the contact work of the introduction of foreign language films. Because of the Asia Film Company and the American behind it, the work became simpler, but it still shocked Xie Huai'an: "Are you really going to work?"
"Yes," Wanlan smiled and nodded, "Mr. Zhang has already arranged an office for me." ”
Xie Huai'an subconsciously glanced at Chen Ji, and then put his gaze back on Wanlan: "Then you...... What about at home?"
"What should I do at home?" Wanlan propped up her left eyebrow, looking surprised, "Yuji also has to go out to do things during the day, I am at home by myself, and I have nothing to do, so I am in a hurry." ”
"But......" Xie Huai'an frowned, "When you lived in that small apartment before, there were only two servants even in Lixia, and if you want to go out and do something else, you will be busy." Now that the big mansion has changed, and the servants are all newly bought, and the two of you are not at home during the day, can you rest assured?"
"Everything of value is stored in the bank, and there is even a small amount of cash at home," Wanlan disagreed, "Unless they move these large pieces of furniture out, there is really nothing to worry about - not to mention Lixia." ”
Xie Huai'an sighed: "How old is Lixia, she can't stay unmarried for the rest of her life and serve you." ”
Lixia stood next to him, going around the table to help them serve the soup. Wanlan originally didn't let her do this, but she insisted on doing it, saying that she wanted to set an example for the new servants and set rules for them. When Xie Huai'an said this, she immediately said: "No, uncle, I am willing to never marry for the rest of my life and follow Miss." ”
Wanlan laughed and said, "According to my selfishness, I want to keep Lixia by my side for the rest of my life, but the girl is too old, even if I want to stay, I can't keep it." Lixia, the uncle and grandmother are here today, I will put this to you, you can go and find a good man yourself, if you can find a happy one, I will give you a dowry and marry you as a young lady. ”
Lixia also laughed, and joked with her: "I just hope that Miss is sincere in what she says, and not beat me with words, so that I know that I should go." ”
Wanlan naturally wants to point to the sky and the earth and swear an oath. Lixia is the son of the family, her mother served the girls of the older generation of the Xie family when she was young, and when she reached the age, Mrs. Qin was in charge, and she was assigned to a young and down-to-earth young man in Zhuangzi. Lixia's mother is obviously blessed, she gave birth to a total of seven children, five of them grew up safely, the sons are now working in the Xie family's yarn factory, and the daughters are also in the Xie family's various mansions, and they will marry one by one when they grow up.
"You can be in a hurry about anything, only marrying someone can't succeed," Wanlan looked at her with a smile, "If you want to live a lifetime in the future, you must be carefully selected, and you can't feel that you are old, so you can find someone to marry." ”
"What Miss said is," Lixia said, "but I don't have the blessing of Miss and Grandma to marry a man as good as Uncle Ann and our Uncle An." ”
She deliberately complimented Chen Ji, and brought Xie Huai'an by the way. Because she didn't want to see Wanlan and Chen Ji fall into a situation where they flew separately.
Wanlan realized that her marriage seemed to have been weakened by everyone, so she wanted to help and reached out to help her.
She asked the question at bedtime at night: "Yuji, do you regret marrying me?"
Chen Ji didn't understand the meaning of her question, and let out a confused "um".
Wanlan frowned and thought for a long time, trying to find an exact sentence to describe the doubts in her heart, but it was futile to search the thesaurus, she felt a little frustrated, so she simply asked, "Have you ever thought about Nasuman?"
Chen Ji frowned, did not answer immediately, but stared at her for a long time.
Wanlan felt frustrated again: "Forget it, when I didn't ask." ”
"I assumed," Chen Ji smiled, he said calmly, as if he had never intended to hide it from her, "I was just woken up by you." ”
Wanlan showed a puzzled expression, she was silent for a moment, suddenly loosened her brows and smiled, and sighed softly at the same time.
She didn't ask any more, but patted him lightly on the chest: "Rest, it's late." ”
Wanlan lay down with her back to Chen Ji, the mattress was soft, and every move on the other end could reach her, so that she didn't have to open her eyes to know that Chen Ji was also lying up, separated from her by a palm's width.
She moved, turned around, and saw that although Chen Ji's eyes were closed, his eyelashes were flickering, and she knew that he was not asleep, so she leaned over and grabbed his arm.
Chen Ji opened his eyes and turned his head to look at her: "You just asked me Su Man, what do you mean?"
Wanlan said: "It's nothing, it's just a momentary curiosity." ”
Chen Ji laughed silently: "Your curiosity on a whim makes me feel scared." ”
Wanlan also laughed: "It is my achievement to make you afraid." ”
On the second day, she took the clothes prepared for her by Wu Xinyi to the post office, and sent them to Mrs. Chen's house before going to Xinmin Company to prepare for the establishment of a working group for the introduction of foreign language films.
Wanlan stayed in the office all day, and didn't even go back to the house to eat at noon, but found a local restaurant near the company to deal with the problem. She drew up a work plan and showed it to Zhang Shichuan.
Zhang Shichuan may not want to save Wanlan's face, she made a request, and found a job for her, in fact, she didn't attach much importance to this so-called introduction of foreign language films in her heart, so when Wanlan handed over the departmental work plan she prepared to him, he didn't read the content carefully, but praised her beautiful regular script.
Wanlan saw his carelessness and felt displeased, but she didn't have a chance to argue with him, so she could only secretly make up her mind to make some achievements to show him. But the two deputies assigned to her were both preparing new feature films, and they couldn't spare their hands to work for her.
Zheng Zhengqiu was very dissatisfied with her dismissal of Su Man, and deliberately said to her when she met her in the company: "Now that there are not enough people, Mrs. Chen can't start working, so it's better to go home and rest." ”
Wanlan didn't seem to hear the yin and yang weirdness in his tone, and raised a smile to greet him how the new script was written and how the new troupe was prepared.
Zheng Zhengqiu is a scholar, simple, and often treats people with kindness, and it is precisely because of this that he was deceived when he was asked by his father to engage in business in his early years, and suffered several times. Wanlan has a good impression of such people, so she doesn't care about his temper.
But it's one thing not to care, and it's another thing not to take things seriously. His appearance reminded Wanlan, and after taking the work plan back to the office, he took his leave and made a special trip to Dongsheng Theater in Shanghai.
Zheng Zhengqiu's wife Yu Lijun is a senior ticket holder, and she has a lot of experience in watching dramas for so many years, because of Zheng Zhengqiu's name, Yu Lijun is also well-known in the Chinese drama circle, and she is often invited to comment on the play.
Wanlan went to find her, because Zheng Zhengqiu could not listen to her, but he could not listen to his wife.
Before again, Wanlan and Yu Lijun were not familiar with each other, but if the two women wanted to get acquainted, it would be easy, they only needed to praise her to please her, share some fat powder supplies with her, and talk about gossip anecdotes, not to mention close friends in the boudoir, at least they became acquaintances. Wanlan entered Dongsheng Theater to consult them about the price of the record, so naturally she met Yu Lijun, who was being invited to palm.
She introduced herself to the team, not saying that it was Xinmin Company, but only that it was the wife of Manager Chen of Yuping Cinema.
Yu Lijun knew Chen Ji, and when she reported to her home, she took the initiative to come up and say hello: "Mrs. Chen." ”
Wanlan looked at her in surprise and asked her name.
Yu Lijun is a little shy, she is an old Shanghainese, she speaks Shanghainese, delicate and soft: "You don't recognize me...... But I don't know my husband, my husband is Zheng Bochang. ”
Wanlan made a look of sudden realization: "It turned out to be Mrs. Zheng, it's really rude, what's the matter, you are the owner of this home?"
"I don't have this blessing," Yu Lijun waved her hand and laughed, "I just sang and listened, so I am familiar with the class." ”
Wanlan nodded, and suddenly showed an embarrassed look: "I didn't expect to meet Mrs. Zheng here...... Now that we have met, it can be regarded as our fate, I want to ask Mrs. Zheng to go back and apologize to Mr. Zheng for me. ”
Yu Lijun didn't know that she was deliberately leading her to trap, so she asked blankly: "What's wrong?"
Wanlan pinched Su Man's head and tail, and said it again, in front of Yu Lijun, naturally it was different from Zheng Zhengqiu, deliberately exaggerating her dedication to climbing high branches, how to please her mother-in-law, and recognize her father as a brother, and at the end she sighed with a sad heart, and put her heart in her heart: "If it is a good girl from a serious family, it is naturally a good thing to enter the door to be a family, but such a thoughtful and good girl in the camp, Mrs. Zheng, to be honest, I am 10,000 unwilling." ”
Women are naturally interested in this kind of affair and are easily impulsive, but after a few words, they began to sympathize with her.
Wanlan continued: "I originally wanted to dismiss her, but Mr. Zheng disagreed...... Speaking of which, I don't know how to be considerate of others, I heard that he was writing a civilized drama book in his hand, and he ordered that Miss Su to act, we were so on the same head, we had to talk a few words. ”
She said, grabbing Yu Lijun's hand: "Mrs. Zheng must say no to Mr. Bochang for me." ”
Yu Lijun's face was already a little wrong, but she still maintained her demeanor and did not lose control - maybe because she didn't fully believe what Wanlan said, but Wanlan was not in a hurry to make her believe it immediately, just to lead her to suspicion, she would go home and question Zheng Zhengqiu herself.
