Xie Huaichang really took Xie Wanxin to Jiang Fangzhen's banquet, Xie Daoyong talked about the big truths one after another, but these big truths were all ineffective in front of his wife and daughter, he could run all the way back to Zhenjiang to find the brother who had not spoken for nearly 20 years, but he couldn't persuade his daughter to learn some foreign Chinese with her, so she could only let her grow up and become more lawless under Mrs. Feng's favor.

Xie Huaichang told Xie Wanxin about going to the banquet after dinner, and also added fuel and vinegar to say bad things about Chen Ji, saying that Wanxin was high-spirited, and he had to frustrate Chen Ji's spirit. Not only did she not wear a dress, but she also specially picked out an old-fashioned flag suit, wore a pair of shoes at the bottom of a flower pot, and was dressed up full of pearls.

Xie Huaichang's jaw was about to fall: "You went out in the name of Sister Lan today, I'm afraid it's not good to come out like this......"

Wanxin stood in front of the carriage, pulled the neckline and necklace, and said: "What are you afraid of, the real Li Kui is still living in the house, my fake Li Ghost is just making a scene, we are not deliberately hiding it, it's good." ”

Xie Huaichang took a "hiss" breath of cold air, and circled around Wanxin, still a little worried: "You say...... We're not going to mess up this marriage, are we?"

Wan Xin was even more eager to try: "It's just right to stir up the yellow! If it's yellow, I'll match Sister Lan and that Young Master Jiang!"

Xie Huaichang looked at such a demon king who didn't know the height of the sky, and didn't say anything for a long time, but Wanxin got into the car with his skirt on his own, and stretched out his head from the car to urge him: "What are you hesitating about?

He had no choice but to follow him into the car, and told in vain: "Be disciplined, don't get away with it." ”

Jiang Fangzhen booked a private room in Taixing Building, perhaps because he was afraid that Wanlan would be embarrassed by a female guest, so he specially brought a woman over, the girl was not young, and she wore a fashionably tailored dress, which looked decisive and capable.

Xie Huaichang asked the little guy downstairs, pushed the door in with Wanxin, saw the lady on Jiang Fangzhen's right, and then thought about Wanxin behind him, and was embarrassed to stick his head into the ground.

Jiang Fangzhen stood up, left the table with a smile and came over to greet him: "Ning Yin, you are here, where is the eldest lady?"

Before Xie Huaichang could speak, Wan Xin turned out from behind him, pinched his handkerchief, and whispered to Jiang Fangzhen: "Ah Lan has seen my lord, Wanfu Jin'an." ”

Jiang Fangzhen paused, seemed to be a little surprised, looked at Wan Xin carefully several times, and then hesitated: "This ...... Is it Miss Xie?"

Xie Huaichang raised his hand to cover his face, and said to Jiang Fangzhen quite embarrassedly: "No, this is my cousin Wanxin." ”

Jiang Fangzhen understood Xie Huaichang's plan in just a moment, and couldn't help laughing: "Ning Yin, Ning Yin, you are really ......" He didn't continue, only smiled and returned the salute to Wan Xin: "New Miss, I've heard of it for a long time." ”

Wan Xin saw that the main lord had not yet come, Xie Huaichang had already picked out his identity, and he didn't bother to pretend, and smiled at Jiang Fangzhen: "Have you heard of me?"

Jiang Fangzhen's words were just polite words, but she didn't expect her to be more serious, and choked for a moment before saying: "I heard that Lord Xie's daughter is smart and clever before. ”

Wanxin laughed, and didn't break it, but said: "Pretend." ”

These four words were enough for Jiang Fangzhen to be embarrassed, she didn't care, turned around and greeted the girl, and said domineeringly: "Chen Ji hasn't come yet?"

Jiang Fangzhen and Xie Huaichang sat down together and replied, "The place where Yuji works is some distance from here, I'm afraid I won't be able to come until later." ”

Wanxin said "um" and asked again, "Who is this young lady?"

"I'm just here to accompany the guests," the woman opened her mouth to speak, her voice soft, and although she tried her best to hide it, she could still hear a little stiffness: "My name is Mu Qinfang." ”

Wanxin couldn't hear it, but Xie Huaichang immediately set his eyes on Jiang Fangzhen: "This Miss Mu is Japanese?"

Jiang Fangzhen nodded: "Miss Qinfang is a reporter in China, and she knows me and Yuji, so I was afraid that there would be only one female guest, and Miss Lan would be embarrassed, so I specially asked her to accompany her." ”

Xie Huaichang went to tell Wanxin again: "Chen and Xie are world friends, you can almost do it today, but don't go too far." ”

Wan Xinhun "sighed" indifferently: "You are the one who came up with the idea, and you are the one who regrets and is afraid in the end." ”

Jiang Fangzhen interjected with a smile: "Don't worry, Yuji won't have to worry about women." ”

Xie Huaichang smiled bitterly at Jiang Fangzhen: "I'm just lifting a stone to shoot myself in the foot." I forgot to tell you, Baili, the eldest sister was invited by a girlfriend yesterday and went out for coffee, and she had to be absent today. ”

Jiang Fangzhen said: "Originally, I just wanted to play tricks on Yuji, but now I am really curious, if I have a chance in the future, I must meet him, and ask Ning Yin to introduce him on my behalf." ”

Xie Huaichang hurriedly clenched his fists: "If you don't give up, you must be sure, yesterday the eldest sister also said that when you are free, she will personally make this banquet." ”

As soon as his words fell, the courteous hospitality of the little guy sounded outside the door, and a dark shadow paused in front of the door, as if he had given the little guy some reward before pushing the door in.

Xie Huaichang guessed that the person who came was Chen Ji himself, and immediately turned his head to look, he did have a good face with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, he was five feet tall, wearing a Western-style coat, and he looked slender and extraordinary.

Jiang Fangzhen stood up to greet him, and complained with a smile: "I've been waiting for you for a long time." ”

"It's not easy to find time to come over," Chen Ji said, "You don't know the intensity of my work, and the banquet is scheduled for noon." ”

As he spoke, he took off his coat and hung it on the hanger, turned his face, nodded to everyone at the table, greeted Mu Qinfang first, and then said to Xie Huaichang: "Presumably this is Xie Ningyin who was mentioned for a hundred miles." ”

Xie Huaichang greeted him, and when he got up, he secretly poked Wan Xin to remind her to get up, but Wan Xin didn't even raise her head, took a sip of tea by herself, and said dissatisfied: "What kind of tea, dare to bring it to entertain me?"

Xie Huaichang stretched out his hand to shake hands with Chen Ji, a look of crying and laughing appeared on his face, and he turned his head to Wanxin and said, "Ah ......"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Wanxin: "Second brother, look at what kind of place you are brought." ”

Xie Huaichang glanced at Jiang Fangzhen, then at Mu Qinfang, sighed, and resigned himself to his fate: "The dishes in the capital are not the same as the taste of the eldest sister. ”

Jiang Fangzhen walked to his seat and sat down, with a playful expression, and did not forget to beckon Chen Ji to sit down, and said to Wanxin apologetically: "Is this Jiang's, I don't know what tea the eldest lady likes to drink, so I'll ask someone to prepare." ”

Chen Ji took his hand back, sat down opposite Jiang Baili, and said in an indifferent tone: "Zhenjiang people love to drink green tea. ”

"Oh, you know very well," Wan Xin raised his chin to him, and asked Xie Huaichang sideways, "Who is this person, he is so clever that he can barely come and serve me." ”

Jiang Fangzhen laughed out loud, immediately met Xie Huaichang's resentful eyes, and hurriedly took over the conversation to relieve him: "It's my fault, it's my fault, I didn't introduce the eldest lady in time, this is Chen Ji Chen Yuji, the manager of Kangli Foreign Bank, the eldest young master of the Chen family in Yangzhou, and a friend who studied in Japan with me." ”

"Oh, it's Chen ......" Wanxin paused, as if taken aback, immediately looked at Chen Ji a few times, and then lowered his eyes shyly, and his previous arrogance was swept away: "It turned out to be a world friend." ”

Chen Ji no longer paid attention to Wanxin, and even Xie Huaichang didn't bother to take care of it, so he only said to Jiang Fangzhen: "I heard that you went to Germany ahead of schedule?"

Jiang Fangzhen nodded: "I'll leave in November." ”

Chen Ji asked again: "Military Academy?"

Jiang Fangzhen nodded again: "The old business." ”

Chen Ji glanced at Xie Huaichang: "It's hard for you to be a Qiu Ba, but you can talk with the literati, and what new doctrine has you recently studied?"

Wan Xin interjected and asked, "What is the Three People's Principles?"

Chen Ji still ignored her, didn't answer this conversation, and only pretended to bow his head and drink tea. Xie Huaichang had no choice but to explain to her: "It was Mr. Sun Wen who proposed democracy in Japan...... A democratic program. ”

Wan Xin asked: "What is democracy, and what does this program say?"

Xie Huaichang originally just wanted to tease Chen Ji, but he didn't expect to lose Wanlan's face by coming out with Wanxin, and Wanlan is the most important image, if this news reaches her ears...... Xie Huaichang sighed weakly and continued to explain to her: "It's nationalism, populism, and people's livelihood, these things are very complicated, and you don't need to understand them. ”

Chen Ji raised his head and glanced at Xie Huaichang, Xie Huaichang hurriedly seized the opportunity and smiled awkwardly at Chen Ji: "I'm really sorry to be ......."

Chen Ji smiled back at him and continued to bow his head to drink tea. Before the dish was served, Chen Ji had already drunk two full pots of tea, he was still in good cultivation, and his expression was calm between his eyebrows, as if anyone and anything at this table had nothing to do with him, except for the two pots of tea poured into his stomach, the rest did not show anything unusual.

Finally boiled to the end of the dish, Chen Ji got up to say goodbye to the busy affairs of the foreign bank, and Jiang Fangzhen had no intention of keeping him, and personally sent him out of the restaurant. Chen Ji held his coat in his arm and glanced at him lightly: "This is the new-style woman you said 'will definitely surprise me'?"

Jiang Fangzhen pretended to be confused, and he also had a puzzled expression: "Look at Ning Yin, the Xie family doesn't look like a family that can raise such a person." ”

Chen Ji sneered: "For the Xie family, are you clear or am I clear?"

Jiang Fangzhen looked at him with a smile and didn't argue with him: "You know, naturally you know." After speaking, he added a mischievous sentence: "But what can you do if you know it? You two families have given the dowry and sent the marriage letter, you know that you still have to marry her." ”

Chen Ji turned his face to stare at him, snorted heavily, and walked away.
