Two-five-five. safety
Xie Huaichang knew that Wanlan was unwilling to show the disgraceful side of his life to others, and it was difficult for a Qing official to cut off family affairs, if Xie Huaichang stood up for Wanlan, he would inevitably have a dispute with Mrs. Chen, and then Chen Ji would be caught in the middle and embarrassed, but he was afraid that it would be more troublesome.
"Tell me about your plans to go south," Wanlan said, "How are you going to explain to Zhen Zhen?"
"I don't want to explain to her," Xie Huaichang said, "I don't want to tell her where I am, Wu Ziyu once called me to ask me about my future plans, and I said that I might go back to Zhenjiang, and he seemed very satisfied." β
He said and smiled: "He is also worried that we will become enemies, and then the sister-in-law will be in trouble." β
Wanlan asked, "Will you be enemies?"
"I don't know," he paused, then changed his words, "probably." β
Wanlan sighed: "It's really uncomfortable...... Can't you go back to Zhenjiang to help your eldest brother as you planned?"
"I'm afraid I don't have the ability to engage in business," Xie Huaichang said, "Besides, whether I will become an enemy, I don't count, it still depends on Wu Ziyu's attitude, if he has to fight Mr. Sun to the end, then he can only fight." β
Wanlan looked at him suspiciously: "Can Mr. Sun beat Uncle Wu?"
Although he himself doesn't think so, I think Mr. Sun is following the old path of President Yuan. Xie Huaichang said, "He has affirmed his political views, received help from abroad, and now he has begun to train his own army." Sister, Mr. Sun had no soldiers before, and he only relied on the Jianghu Gang to sit at the same table and negotiate with President Yuan, and then he cooperated with Chen Jiongming to occupy Liangguang, and now if he trains a group of his own troops, what will be the result, can't he predict?"
Wanlan didn't care about this, she only asked Xie Huaichang: "In the future, Mr. Sun and Uncle Wu have become enemies, what should you do?"
Xie Huaichang said: "I ...... We will do our best to persuade the two sides to resolve the issue through peaceful negotiations. β
"If peace negotiations can solve the problem, then why does Mr. Sun still need to train the army?" Wanlan shook her head, "You want me to hide it from Zhen Zhen because you know that you and Uncle Wu will meet each other sooner or later, right?"
Xie Huaichang was silent, he knew that if he nodded, then Wanlan would definitely oppose it, but what he decided would not be stopped because of Wanlan's opposition.
"No," he said, "I just don't want my family to worry about me." β
"Huaichang ......" Wanlan called his name, like an elder, with helplessness in his tone: "If you want me to rest assured, you'd better tell the truth, otherwise I'll guess and guess, and you'll have to waste your mind to fulfill this lie." β
Xie Huaichang was stunned for a moment, laughed in disguise, and at the same time stood up and paced in the living room: "It's not that I don't tell the truth, but you have already made up your mind in your heart, so no matter what I say, as long as it is different from what you think in your heart, you will doubt me." β
Wanlan looked at him: "Then I'm right?"
Xie Huaichang was stuck again, and after a moment, he reluctantly said: "Yes......"
Wanlan said: "Then why don't you tell me the truth?"
Xie Huaichang looked at her and sighed resignedly: "You guessed right, I do think that Mr. Sun and Wu Ziyu will have a battle." β
"I read an article written by Americans who thought that Wu Bo was the strongest man in China today, and that he had a better chance of unifying China than anyone else. Wanlan said, "It seems that you don't think so. β
"The person who wrote this article does not know the current situation in China," Xie Huaichang sat down again, "he does not have the ability to unify the whole country, and he must cooperate with another provincial king, but if you look at the current provincial kings, who will sincerely cooperate with him to build a country? I am afraid that even he himself does not know what kind of country he wants to build." β
"Then Mr. Sun is okay?" Wan Lan asked him rhetorically, "Mr. Sun's troops are not even half of Uncle Wu's. β
"But Mr. Sun is an outsider. Xie Huaichang said.
Since the death of President Yuan Da...... No, to be exact, it should be said that before President Yuan Da died, the provincial overseers had already begun to make their own calculations, and this brilliant figure in the annals of history was a leader who was truly capable of unifying Chinaβif he had not been crowned emperor in the end, he could have cooperated with Sun Wen to establish a truly sovereign and unified Republic.
But he did not leave a complete national heritage for future generations, but left a group of warlords who divided the land for the country and did not obey anyone, Duan Qirui did not accept Li Yuanhong, Cao Kun did not accept Duan Qirui, Feng Yuxiang did not accept Cao Kun, everyone is a praying mantis that catches cicadas, and they will become yellow finches behind the praying mantis at any time.
In this comparison, Sun Wen, who is in the middle of the world, is indeed the least noticeable one, his territory is in the area where foreigners are concentrated, not a rich tax-collecting province, and there is an old Gui family in the centerβit is indeed the least threatening one.
Xie Huaichang sighed gloomily: "President Yuan Da has only one mistake in his life, but this mistake has ruined the entire democratic country. β
Wanlan listened to his high-minded talk and couldn't help but sneer: "You actually think that all the fault is on President Yuan?"
Xie Huaichang was stunned: "What did Sister say this?"
"There is no room for two tigers in one mountain," Wanlan said, "President Yuan and Mr. Sun are only one person who can be the leader, and they cannot coexist." β
Whether it is a common ideal or a common goal, there is only one chair at the pinnacle of power, so it must be prioritized.
Xie Huaichang wanted to argue with Wanlan, but Wanlan waved his hand: "I don't know who is right and who is wrong in your high-level fighting methods, the newspaper will not tell me the whole truth, maybe those reporters are also confused." It can be said that no matter how fanciful it is, the lives of the common people are really living, at least when President Yuan Da was there, our own people did not beat our own people much. I'm just a short-sighted woman, and my daily attention is just some firewood, rice, oil, and salt, no matter how good I say, I can make people eat a full meal and sleep peacefully, which is much more effective than saying 10,000 big words. β
Wei Yunru came over with Jacqueline with freshly baked bread and sat down beside Wanlan with a smile: "What woman with short knowledge can talk about state affairs like Sister A?"
"It's because of my short-sightedness that I talk about it. Wanlan took the silver fork with the bread on it. Jacqueline was just taken to the kitchen by Wei Junru, and now that the two have returned together, she is not suitable for talking to Xie Huaichang in Chinese, so everyone here tacitly changed to English, wanting to talk to Jacqueline about some topics she is interested in.
Jacqueline felt comfortable here, Xie Huaichang spent a lot of effort to explain to her that the people she met here and the people she met there were not a family, Jacqueline understood the in-law relationship between them, and immediately felt sorry for Wanlan, saying that she was so beautiful and should marry a better family.
Wanlan covered her mouth and smiled softly, and said to Wei Yunru: "Although it's not good to say this, if you touch your conscience, Jacqueline's words really make me happy." β
Wei Yun is as unfamiliar as Chen Ji, and he has no feelings at all, so he said: "What husband can't afford a character like Sister A?"
"You're complimenting me. The resentment that Wanlan had accumulated in the Chen Mansion vanished under these obedient words, and even the emotions between her eyebrows and eyes became cheerful, "Has Jacqueline already decided to leave?"
"Oh yes, I'm going to buy a ticket early tomorrow morning. Jacqueline said, "I hope I don't come again, this is really a land inhabited by demons." β
Xie Huaichang's face sank, and even Wei Yunru showed displeasure.
Wanlan hurriedly interrupted her: "I haven't asked you how you are the same, huh...... Henry knew. β
"We were classmates, he had good grades, you know, an Asian guy in the United States, at the top of the list, it's not easy. Jacqueline shrugged, "I thought he was different from the American guys I knew, so I took the initiative to say hi, and we got to know each other...... This is probably the decision I regret the most. β
Xie Huaichang answered coldly: "Because you are not satisfied with a person, you are not even satisfied with his motherland?"
"Alright, Ning Yin. Wanlan didn't want them to have a conflict, and wanted to try to change the topic, "Then I'll accompany you to buy a ticket tomorrow morning, and then I'll go back to pick up your luggage for you, okay?"
"If you go back on your own," Jacqueline worried, "are you safe?"
Wanlan was silent for a long time, not knowing how to answer, she was going back to her home, but an outsider worried that An was not safe.
