Xie Wanxian seemed to have given up her resistance to getting married overnight, because Tao began to mention the matter of finding her in-laws in front of Mrs. Qin, but she rarely said nothing, Wu Xinyi felt strange, and quietly asked her when the dinner was set up with dishes and chopsticks: "What, have you figured it out?"

Xie Wanxian smiled: "Tell my mother to toss, anyway, she can't find any good candidates this year, and when I leave school in the next year, I will be clean." ”

Wu Xinyi smiled and teased her: "It turned out that I was in Cao Ying, and my heart was in Han." ”

She had a smile on her face, but there was a worry in her eyes, Wanxian paid attention, and asked, "Sister-in-law, how do I think you are restless?"

"You stopped in Shanghai when you came back," Wu Xinyi seemed to be waiting for her to ask this, and immediately asked, "Have you seen your second brother?"

Xie Wanxian was stunned: "My second brother went south to Guangzhou with the second brother of the Chen family, don't you know?"

Wu Xinyi's heart jumped: "When is it?"

"Just before I go. Wanxian said, "The second brother of the Chen family brought back an American girlfriend, clamoring to go to Guangzhou to see General Li in China, and it happened that the second brother and sister-in-law had nothing to do, so they went together...... Maybe I'll be back at the end of the year. ”

Wu Xinyi's face turned pale: "He said that he planned to stay in Shanghai to help the family's business." ”

Xie Wanxian disagreed: "Maybe it's hard to be free, so you want to have a play, what is his plan, when you come back, you can ask?"

But Xie Huaichang did not return before the end of the year, because a major event happened in Beijing - Mr. Sun Wen died of illness.

Xie Huaichang got the news before everyone in the Xie family, because the pig man who accompanied Sun Wen to Beijing sent the news back to Guangzhou at the first time, and Jiang Zhongzheng, the principal of the Guangzhou Army Military Academy, was leading his students to start a battle to suppress Chen Jiongming.

On March 14, Sun Wen's will was first published by the "Declaration", and with his physical health, he was actually unable to write a will when he was dying, but it was drafted by Wu Zhihui, with the participation of everyone, and finally Wang Zhaoming, who had followed him for nearly 40 years, read it to him personally by the sickbed.

"Yu devoted himself to the National Revolution for forty years, and his aim was to seek freedom and equality in China. With 40 years of experience, I know that in order to achieve this goal, we must arouse the people and unite the nations of the world who are waiting for us on an equal footing. ”

Xu Shinian finished reading the will in Beijing, Xie Daozhong read the will in Zhenjiang, and Xie Huaichang saw the urgent telegram from Beijing after the Battle of Mianhu.

The students who participated in the war did not know that their leader, Mr. Sun Wen, the premier of the Kuomintang, had passed away, and only a few officers saw the will, because Xie Huaichang was personally recommended by Sun Wen to come to Whampoa, so he became one of those people who saw the will for the first time.

"I'm going to send a newspaper home. He reacted calmly, but in a resolute tone, "Headmaster, I request the use of a telegraph. ”

Jiang Zhongzheng arranged for him to use the telegraph left by Yang Kun's troops after he captured Huizhou, provided that he captured Huizhou. Xie Huaichang did not bargain with him, but immediately accepted the order and changed the subject: "Do you need to tell the students about the death of the prime minister?"

Wang Bailing, the commander of the first regiment, immediately said: "Haven't you heard the saying that the mourning soldiers will be defeated? The war has not yet ended, how dare you reveal such important news to the students at this time?"

This Wang Bailing once escaped in the name of asking for help when the battle of Mianhu began, fortunately, the student soldiers had excellent military quality, so they were not disturbed by him, Xie Huaichang once complained to the principal Jiang Zhongzheng after the war, but Jiang Zhongzheng did not seem to have heard of it, except for transferring him back from the front line, there was no treatment.

Xie Huaichang ignored him, and his two eyes only stared at Jiang Zhongzheng.

"Tell the students," Jiang Zhongzheng smiled at Wang Bailing, "there is a saying that the mourning soldiers will be defeated, but there is also a saying that the mourning soldiers will win." ”

Xie Huaichang immediately said, "I'll go gather the soldiers." ”

He turned and went out.

Wu Xinyi was still waiting for Xie Huaichang and his wife to return in Zhenjiang, she already had an ominous premonition in her heart, but her feelings forced her to believe Xie Wanxian's words - Xie Huaichang was just accompanying visitors from afar to go south to relax.

Her restlessness was so obvious that Mrs. Qin noticed it: "Zhen Zhen has been looking at her soul for the past two days. ”

Wu Xinyi cheered up and replied with a smile: "Not long ago, I received a call from my father asking what Ning Yin was doing recently, so I asked Ah Xian, but I learned that he went south with the second master of the Chen family not long ago...... I heard that there was a war going on in the south and Guangzhou, so I was a little worried. ”

She didn't plan to hide it from Mrs. Chen, one person can't step on two boats, the Southern Kuomintang is now Wu Peifu's enemy, if someone over there is an eyebrow at Xie Huaichang, then she is bound to use all her strength to pull him back on track - he can not serve Wu Peifu, but he must not serve his enemy.

The entire old mansion, or the entire Xie family, is now very polite to Wu Xinyi, because everyone knows that her father is now a pivotal warlord, he fought Anxiang in the first battle, defeated Anhui again, fought in the third battle of Dinghu, and defeated Kefeng in the fourth battle, "the general who always wins" The prestige spread all over the north and south of the river, because of his relationship, the warlord Sun Chuanfang, who controlled Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai, also looked at the Xie family differently, and not only did he have a lot of points during the New Year's holidays, but also gave Xie Daozhong the post of governor of Jiangsu Province quite generously, and after the latter refused, he also forcibly added him the false title of the top adviser of the Jiangsu Provincial Political Affairs Committee.

With such a strong waist as a backer, Wu Xinyi immediately spoke and acted a lot more calmly, at least when facing those ladies and ladies in the Outer Seven Mansions, he no longer bothered to ponder the deep meaning in their words - there was no deep meaning in their words except for flattery.

Mrs. Qin's attitude towards Wu Xinyi has not changed, since she did not block this marriage because of Wu Xinyi's background, now she will not look at Wu Xinyi differently because of Wu Peifu's official promotion, and immediately said: "Ning Yinfu has a great life, and he will be safe." ”

She didn't understand Wu Xinyi's off-string sound.

Wanlan went back to her parents' house with Chen Ji on the fourth day of the first month, in fact, this is the date when Wu Xinyi and Xie Huai'an go north to see Wu Peifu every year, and Wanlan usually comes back on the second day of the first month, this time she called Zhenjiang from Shanghai, saying that because Mrs. Chen is not in good health, she needs to postpone the date of returning to her parents' home, Wu Xinyi only listened to it, and her heart was half cold, but she didn't believe it, and she also called Wu's house and told Zhang Peilan that she would go back to her parents' house for the Lantern Festival this year, and she would not go back on the fourth day of the new year.

Wanlan didn't know that Wu Xinyi had postponed the time to go north in order to see her, so she put on Chen Qi and Jacqueline as agreed, because she had promised to take her to experience the Chinese New Year.

On the day she went home, Wu Xinyi went out to greet her, and until she was outside the mansion, her eyes were firmly fixed on Wanlan's face, and sure enough, she saw Wanlan's surprised and empty expression on her.

"What about Ning Yin?"

She didn't greet Wanlan, and asked directly: "Didn't you say that Ning Yin accompanied the second master of the Chen family to the south to collect wind? Why did the second master Chen come back, and he would rather not come yet?"

Wanlan didn't dare to look at her eyes, and only blindly talked about him left and right, but Wu Xinyi was rarely strong, pressing step by step, and finally even said something like "Sister must not want the Xie family to fall apart".

Wanlan was stunned by this sentence, of course she knew that Wu Xinyi was not alarmist.

"Let him tell you for himself. Finally, she said, "I don't know what he thinks." ”

This can be regarded as an answer to the question about Xie Huaichang's joining the South.

Wanlan crossed her to the long room and took Jacqueline with her, Chen Ji and Chen Qi were left to talk in the second hall, and the ladies drank tea in the third hall. Jacqueline has a good impression of Wanlan, and even has a good impression of her family, so they talked happily throughout the three halls.

Mrs. Qin found an opportunity to talk to Wanlan after dinner: "That Miss Yang just said that your mother-in-law forced Yuji to marry another woman, what's the matter?"

Wanlan wanted to hide it from Mrs. Qin, but she really couldn't stop Xie Wanxian's quick mouth, so she sighed deeply: "It's okay anymore." ”

Mrs. Qin said lightly: "You have no children so far, and you should open a house and take a concubine for your husband." ”

Wanlan didn't get angry at all when she heard such words now, she looked at Mrs. Qin with a smile, and waited until she finished saying everything that those virtuous and generous wives should do, before she shook her head and retorted: "I can't do such a thing, mother, in front of Yuji, I can't be a virtuous wife." can only be a jealous woman. ”

Mrs. Qin was taken aback by her: "What are you talking about? No child is still jealous, the Chen family can divorce you with only these two points." ”

Wanlan pursed her lips and smiled, she didn't argue with Mrs. Qin, the girl who got married was a guest of her mother's family, in fact, not only the girl who got married, but also the son who married his wife, should be a guest in his hometown, because he had already established his own family, except for the husband and wife, everyone else was considered an outsider, and they were not qualified to dictate to their family.

After Chen Ji was allowed to move back to the Chen Mansion, he didn't ask Wanlan about Su Man's whereabouts once, he just marveled at Wanlan's superb skills, because Mrs. Chen's attitude towards her has been greatly improved, sometimes Wanlan goes out during meals, and Mrs. Chen will even not move her chopsticks and wait for her to come back before eating.

"I can't stay in the old mansion for a long time," Wanlan finally said, "I don't worry about my mother-in-law, she can't leave anyone now." ”

Mrs. Qin couldn't understand the deep meaning of her words, so she only said: "Your mother-in-law is sick at this age, I'm afraid it's too much, you have to serve her well." ”

Wanlan bowed her head, and Mrs. Qin said again: "You have accompanied Chen Yuji with filial piety, and he will not be able to abandon you in the future." ”

Wanlan was speechless for a while, she and Chen Ji were husband and wife for ten years, and it was not easy to find a heart-to-heart connection, but in the eyes of Mrs. Qin, this friendship was not as good as the status of a wife.

"There's something I want to tell my mother," she said, skimming the subject, "Yuji has already purchased some properties in the United States through the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, and he is ready to move abroad." ”

Mrs. Qin was stunned and turned her head: "Is it all ready?"
