One hundred and sixty-one. Heart
They walked downstairs hand in hand, leaving a room of people looking at each other, Wanlan didn't even break free from the shock and anger, Wu Xinyi briefly "hey", turned around and chased out: "Ah Tian!"
Wan Tian stood on the stairs and looked up at her, her sideburns still messy, but her eyes sparkled.
Wu Xinyi leaned on the railing of the stairs with one hand and asked, "Where are you going?"
Wan Tian and George looked at each other and smiled: "Go get married." ”
Wu Xinyi sighed: "I know you are going to get married, what I asked is where are you going now, and the ship to the UK has been contacted?"
The pair of little lovers who were carried away by love woke up like a dream, and when they looked at each other again, they looked at each other in a daze, Wu Xinyi lined up on the railing and urged: "What are you doing in a daze? Come up, sing a big play, and only move yourself very much." ”
Wan Tian reached out to push George, and his face turned red. George turned around under her push, slowly climbed the stairs, and smiled embarrassedly as he walked: "We are really two failed plays." ”
"Where, you can't be more successful," Wu Xinyi said with a smile, "Drama is acting to move others, you just need to move yourself to succeed." ”
They walked back to the apartment, the brothers and sisters inside had already sat down, George walked in front, Wan Tian lowered his head and held the corner of his clothes, Wu Xinyi fell behind, and took the door with him, "It just so happens that Sister Lan has something to say today." ”
Wan Tian sat next to George on the sofa and said, "I said how did I get so together, I thought it was our brothers and sisters who had a good heart." ”
Wanlan grimaced: "That's how you repay your heart?"
Wan Tian saw that she was indeed angry, and she didn't dare to make a mistake, so she honestly bowed her head and sat down: "Sister, I was wrong, I shouldn't have threatened you with elopement." ”
"So you're threatening me? So you're not planning to elope?" Wanlan immediately asked, "Then you came out this time, do your parents know?"
"It's not a threat to you, it's true," George said, his mood was calm, and he said with a slight smile, "I really got in touch with the ships that went abroad and the church used to get married, and of course, our Catholic priests." I have to ask for your forgiveness, Lan, I can't wait. ”
Xie Huai'an snorted coolly: "Honestly, George, how long have you had this plan?"
George looked at him sincerely: "When Winnie went to propose marriage to Xie Weng and failed, she was desperate, and suddenly she had this idea, and then she wrote to Tian. ”
Xie Huai'an asked again: "Who made you a messenger?"
George said, "The handmaid beside her." ”
"Oh," Xie Huai'an sighed, "this must not be known to my mother." ”
Wu Xinyi bit her lip and didn't speak, if this matter was known to Mrs. Qin, she would be at least half of the responsibility and be charged with failing to run the house.
Xie Huaichang suddenly interjected and asked, "When will you leave Shanghai?"
George said: "I had planned to go with my sister, but now I obviously can't wait, I spent a lot of money to buy a few tickets from someone else, and I will leave the day after tomorrow." ”
Wan Tian added: "Mr. Xu introduced me to a newspaper editor in Shanghai, and we will publish a marriage announcement in the newspaper tomorrow. ”
Xie Huai'an raised his hand to support his forehead, and sighed exaggeratedly in George's tone: "Oh, God...... You're a ...... He left without any nostalgia, but he handed over a mess to us. ”
Wan Tian smiled and bent her eyes, looked around everyone in the room gently, and folded her hands on her chest: "Please." ”
Xie Huai'an sighed again, and then waved his hand at her: "Forget it, if you elope and get married, our family will not be able to give you seventy-two dowries, bear something for you, just be your dowry." ”
Wu Xinyi said: "I thought that I was going to discuss big things today, but now I never expected it." ”
Wan Tian smiled, turned her head to see Wan Lan's reaction, she hadn't said anything for a long time, and her expression was uncertain, Wan Tian didn't dare to look at her eyes, and after glancing at her expression very quickly, she quickly looked away, and said, "That...... Then everyone gathered here today because ......"
Xie Huaichang said: "There is something important to say, Sister, don't sell it, I have to go back to the meeting." ”
Only then did Wanlan speak: "What meeting are you going to have? Is it related to the re-election in Beijing?"
Xie Huaichang nodded: "I told you on the way here, I will go to Beijing with Mr. Song." ”
"Protect him?" Chen Ji frowned, "You are the Kuomintang?"
Xie Huaichang picked the corners of his lips, as if he was smiling: "When the Kuomintang was not a Kuomintang, I was a member of the Kuomintang." ”
"Oh," Chen Ji shrugged his shoulders and went to the bedroom to change his clothes, "It's not good to admit that you're a Kuomintang right now." Pingqing, I'm going out, I can't come back for dinner tonight, a friend from Sichuan has arrived. ”
Xie Huaichang immediately asked, "Which friend?"
Chen Ji glanced at him: "Friend of Master Wang Fangzhou's family." ”
Xie Huaichang opened his eyes, thought for a moment and then suddenly said: "Could it be Yang Sen Yang Zihui?"
Chen Ji was a little surprised and paused: "What, there is a friendship?"
Xie Huaichang laughed: "I'm not familiar, he is also from the Alliance." ”
Chen Ji frowned and thought for a while: "Then why don't you go with me?"
Xie Huaichang waved his hand: "I'm still here to listen to the teachings of the eldest sister, I can't intervene in your business affairs." ”
Chen Ji thought about it again, then nodded and went to the bedroom to change clothes. Wanlan sat on the sofa with a straight face, and said to Xie Huaichang: "Remember, you are a person from the Republic of China and a person from the president, even if you go to Beijing with Mr. Song, you must keep your distance from him, go to see Uncle Wu first, and see what he says." ”
Xie Huaichang sighed again: "It seems that you have been persuaded by Wu Ziyu." ”
Wanlan frowned: "Wu Ziyu doesn't have to convince me, I can figure it out myself, Huaichang, will my sister harm you? You don't want to think about it, when most of the soldiers and horses are owned by President Yuan today, those soldiers and generals are all trained and promoted by him personally, and then Mr. Sun, what about the soldiers in his hands? What about the generals? Do you want to expect a group of gentlemen with civilized sticks to help him fight the world?"
Xie Huaichang was quite unconvinced, but he had to admit that she was right, Wu Xinyi played a round between the two, comforting Wanlan on the one hand, and persuading Xie Huaichang to relax on the other. Xie Huai'an listened on the side, and also stood up at this moment: "I think Sister is right, Huaichang, you should listen to her, after all, filial piety is not suitable for loyalty in troubled times." ”
Wanlan's expression really eased a lot, and she said to Xie Huaichang and Yan, "What are you going to do when you stand up?"
Xie Huaian took his coat on the hanger: "I have to go too, Sister, I have a backlog of medicinal herbs, and I'm looking for a chance to get rid of it." The purchase price of this medicinal material is quite high, and it has already restrained the silver on my account, so I really can't donate it to the army, so I can only find a way to sell it to the army. ”
This was a serious matter, and besides, he had figured out the purpose of her gathering of people here today, and agreed with her opinion, so there was really nothing to delay, so he nodded in agreement.
Wu Xinyi went to serve Xie Huai'an to dress, and said to George and Wantian: "If you two have nothing important, let's go first." ”
George immediately stood up: "I'll go with Huai'an, after all, there are also my shares in the pharmacy, and if I sell this face, maybe I can break up the hospital that sells it to foreigners." ”
While speaking, Chen Ji also packed up and walked out, Xie Huai'an and George rushed to take his car and left together, Chen Ji stopped at the door of the apartment, looked at Wanlan and said, "Pingqing, you made a big fuss this time." ”
Wanlan didn't react yet, but Wu Xinyi suddenly became nervous, she was used to the rumors in the old house, and she could figure out two or three meanings in a casual sentence.
But Wanlan's expression was still very calm, Xie Wantian didn't leave, she stayed in the living room, but she didn't look at her, and set her eyes on Xie Huaichang again: "What I mean, can you understand?"
China has always been a magical country, from ancient times to the present has experienced countless divisions and foreign invasions, and finally can always magically return to unification, Luo Guanzhong said very clearly in the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", the world's major events must be divided for a long time, and they must be divided for a long time, which may not meet the philosophical definition of those acts, but it has become a social law that has been running so far. They all know that this troubled era will eventually end, but they don't know whether it will be ended by President Yuan Da or Mr. Sun, or maybe both are just passers-by of history, and the real founding monarch has not yet had time to appear on the stage - but in any case, this is a matter for historians or descendants, and for those of them who are unfortunate enough to be born in troubled times, the only purpose is to live.
However, men and women are different after all, women value stability, and men want to use it to make a career in the situation of making heroes. Xie Huaichang doesn't take the word "family" seriously, at least not as much as Wanlan and Xie Huai'an, he is just a concubine, he only values one family, and in that family, there is also a seat order.
Wanlan looked at him with earnest eyes, hoping that he would change his mind, but Wu Xinyi saw that Xie Huaichang had a resentment about this huge family in his heart, and he didn't open his mouth to refute Wanlan, maybe it was just because Wanlan was on his seat list.
She felt that the atmosphere was a little depressing, so she coughed lightly: "What did President Yuan do to make you so dissatisfied with him?"
When Xie Huaichang heard this, he was suddenly shocked, and he couldn't say a word for a while, so Wu Xinyi continued: "He did it to overthrow the imperial system and establish a republic; Ning Yin, I don't know you people in the Kuomintang, and I don't know your grand cause, but just because of the feeling you gave me, I'm very curious, do you hate him, or do you hate the person who eventually became the president, not Mr. Sun?"
Xie Huaichang's shoulders shook and he took a step back suddenly: "You...... How can you ......"
Wu Xinyi hurriedly raised his hand and pressed it down gently, and softened his tone to soothe his emotions: "I'm not slandering Mr. Sun, I admire him tightly, a scholar, running for the country when his future is not famous, and regardless of success or not, this mental strength alone is enough to be admired." It's just you who I'm wondering, Ning Yin. ”
Why are you following him in such a hurry to make a revolution, is it for the sake of your family and the country? Or is it because you are depressed in the Xie family's old mansion, so you hold your breath to get ahead, and want to do something earth-shattering, so that you can teach those who once despised you to applaud you?
