George came to Zhenjiang in early October and took the Brown tailor from Jinghua Hutong in the capital to give Wanlan a big gift. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

It seems that this Western wedding is set and will not be changed, Wanxian was very excited, flipped through the patterns brought by Brown's tailor, picked the fat and thin, Wantian also joined in with great interest, and commented from time to time with a picture: "This skirt is too wide, and flat, very strange, not suitable for Sister Lan at all." ”

Wanlan was calm, pretending not to care about drinking tea: "I didn't mention it, what's the hurry." ”

"Of course it's urgent," Wanxian said excitedly, "It takes time to make clothes, Sister Lan, I also want Tailor Brown to make me a dress, okay?" I only have one dress, I bought it in the UK, and now it's a little small, and I want to wear it to your wedding! ”

Wanxian patted her on the head gently: "I really don't know how to pick the time, now everything has to be done by the eldest sister, if you want a dress, you can go to Shanghai to find a tailor, don't make trouble for Mr. Brown." ”

She said, handing a drawing to Wanlan: "This set is good-looking, what do you think?" ”

Wanlan took it and looked at it, the picture showed a narrow waist and plump hips, soft lines, layers of silk decoration on the shoulders, but the sleeves hung down widely, like the sleeves of a praise coat on an ancient painting.

She liked it very much when she saw it, and couldn't help but imagine how the dress would look on herself: "It looks good!" ”

Wan Tian immediately laughed, as if she had made a great contribution: "Then set this one?" ”

Wanlan thought about it again: "Do you still have to have a bridesmaid?" ”

Wan Tian deliberately asked her, "Who do you want to be a bridesmaid?" ”

Wanlan laughed: "Of course it's my own sister, Ah Tian, looking at George like that, I'm afraid that it won't be long before he will come to propose, doesn't it mean that a married woman can't be a bridesmaid?" I've got to settle you before that day. ”

Wan Tian wanted to make fun of her, but she was countered, she lowered her head and coughed lightly, muttering: "What nonsense, nothing to do." ”

Wanlan said: "I'm not joking with you, you have to think about it, if he really comes to propose, are you willing to do it?" ”

Wanxian looked at her with her head propped up, smiling, and a little narrow: "Yes, Sister Tian, will I have a foreigner brother-in-law?" ”

Wan Tian glared at both sides, and before she could speak, Wan Lan hurriedly interrupted her: "I'm not joking with you, you have to think about this sooner or later, it's better to give us a thorough understanding in advance, and I can help you when the time comes." ”

Wan Tian sighed: "Father won't agree, so it doesn't matter what I think." ”

Wanlan let out a long "oh": "What a regretful tone, it seems that you agree." ”

Wan Tian smiled at her: "I don't agree very much, I think we have been communicating like this, meeting occasionally, and if we get together, we will disperse, so it's good, I don't want to bear the firewood, rice, oil and salt in marriage." ”

Wanlan asked incredulously, "But you can't never go unmarried for the rest of your life." ”

"So," she laughed, shrugging her shoulders, rather in a European and American manner, "maybe he's the best candidate, if we can get married and settle in China, I won't have to entertain his family, and I won't have to worry about any personal contacts." ”

Wanlan shook her head and said: "This is impossible, George always has his own industry, and it is impossible for you not to worry about his personal contacts." ”

Wan Tian smiled and said, "Are you ready to worry about the relationship between Brother Yuji's people?" ”

Wanlan was stunned for a moment, and sighed exaggeratedly: "It's really troublesome." ”

Chen Ji's personal contacts are different from ordinary businessmen or officials, they can be called mixed, and the three religions and nine streams can be related, and what Mrs. Qin taught her does not seem to be applicable to all occasions, she has to explore a lot by herself.

Someone knocked on the door, so Wanlan raised his voice to invite him in, Xie Huai'an went to the table and sat down, and took a teapot to pour tea: "I'll take a look at the bride's wedding dress, I heard that it's very beautiful." ”

Wan Tian handed him the selected drawing and said, "Brother, you have to go to Shanghai and invite another tailor, I was just invited by the bride to be a bridesmaid, and I also want a dress." ”

Wanxian hurriedly said: "And I still have me, I also want a dress." ”

Xie Huai'an smiled and lit the heads of his sisters: "Take advantage of the fire to rob, it's not that you don't have dresses, what kind of dresses do you want." ”

The two sisters chattered to him for reasons, this one stopped, and that one picked up again, Xie Huaian just joked, and the two sisters got up endlessly: "Okay, okay, do everything, aunts and grandmothers can spare me." ”

He was about to leave: "I'm going to hire a tailor for you." ”

"Sit down, pretend," Wan Tian reprimanded: "The tailors are all in Shanghai, where will you invite them?" ”

"I'm going to Shanghai in the next two days, and I happen to be with my uncle," Xie Huai'an explained in a few words, but the second half of the sentence was said to Wanlan: "Zhang Xiangshuai has passed away." ”

Wanlan was stunned: "When?" ”

Xie Huai'an said: "It was only two days ago that the imperial court issued a nickname, Wenxiang. ”

Wanlan said: "There is virtue in the land, there is labor in the armor, there is merit in the matter, the perseverance is just Xiang, the praise is successful, and the virtue is far away, he has done everything, but I regret that he has fought with Li Wenzhong all his life, and in the end he is still a cut short of him in the nickname." ”

Xie Huai'an continued: "The imperial court has always valued Beiyang, and it is not surprising that Li Wenzhong is a higher rank. I have to say that Zhang Wenxiang is indeed inferior to Li Wenzhong in terms of knowing people. ”

"Gu Tangsheng is not good enough?" Wanlan glanced at him: "It can be regarded as a moment of brightness with Yuan Weiting in Beiyang." ”

"If the future generations are more than hopeful, it may be like this, but not now." Xie Huaian waved his hand: "There is one more thing, do you know Yu Youren?" In the past, a "Minhu Daily" was set up, and the editorial office was specially set up in the concession, but in the end, it was still seized by the palace, and now it is being run again. ”

"Oh, I've just heard about it," Wanlan paused: "What's wrong with this person?" Is it worth mentioning specifically? ”

Xie Huaian smiled: "It has nothing to do with you and me, he is one of the directors of Fudan Public School, and he is a good friend of Mr. Four." ”

"Oh, are you worried that Zhang Jizhi was implicated by him?" Wanlan said casually: "Don't worry, Sixian has lived until now, and he has never seen any winds and waves, and he is still the chairman of the Jiangsu Provincial Consultative Bureau, so he will not be affected by the founder of this unsuccessful newspaper." ”

"You really should look at the content of the newspaper," Xie Huai'an said: "It's not a newspaper without a score, the writing is sharp and spicy, if you are a leader, it is definitely a well-known pen." ”

Wanlan didn't react yet, but Wanxian became interested: "There are so many newspapers ordered at home, is there any his?" ”

Wanlan said: "Those newspapers were all ordered for you, but you threw them away in two days, and you are not as diligent as my father to read, if you want to know, you can go through it yourself, so I won't tell you." ”

Wanxian grimaced at her, kicked and ran away. Xie Huai'an continued to say to Wanlan: "Yu Youren's newspaper has made it clear that it wants to work against the imperial court, and it seems that it is either intended to be mixed with the revolutionary party, or it has been mixed with the revolutionary party. ”

Wanlan smiled: "It can't be underestimated, this can't be regarded as political speculation, I'm afraid that there is a lot of blood." Why, you want to make friends too? ”

Xie Huai'an said: "I have this plan, so I came to talk to you, do you think it's feasible?" ”

Wanlan thought for a while: "Do you want to make friends because you admire this person's popularity, or do you want to touch the melon behind him?" If it's the latter, then forget it, the horizontal and vertical thing has nothing to do with you, and the fruit on the melon vine won't be your turn. ”

"And what about the former?"

Wanlan said: "Then it's even more unnecessary, what to say when you go to the door?" "Hello sir, I am Xie Huai'an, I have admired the name for a long time, and I am here to pay my respects today"? ”

Xie Huai'an laughed: "Then you just say that there is no need to go, and go around in such a big circle." ”

Wanlan spread her hands: "I think it makes no difference whether you go or not, you can go if you want to, I'm afraid I won't have anything to say if I go." ”

She pushed the page of drawings, "By the way, bring this to Brown Tailor for me." ”

Xie Huai'an picked it up, got up and said, "There are still a lot of words, Sister, if there is a real change of dynasty, we can't survive just by relying on the relationship of Brother Yuji." ”

Wanlan was taken aback by his words: "I don't recommend you jumping into this troubled water, once a son of heaven and a courtier, it is always dangerous to stand in line, we don't seek power to dominate the world, nor do we seek to be rich and rival the country." ”

Xie Huai'an was surprised: "Where do you want to go, I just said that we want to be useful to the new government, at least like the ancestors did back then, it is best to mix up the seal." ”

Wanlan calmed down at this time: "What are you going to do?" ”

Xie Huai'an said: "I want to make medicines, and I can use George's connections to find one or two reliable suppliers in Europe. Moreover, if George made up his mind to stay in China for Ah Tian, then he should be called to take care of this part, and the name of Sir Spencer is good in the end. ”

After hearing this, Wanlan couldn't help but applaud him: "Good plan, but do you have the money?" ”

Xie Huai'an said: "The share dividend of the family in the yarn factory can be used as the initial capital, and then ask George to add a little, which is enough." ”

Wanlan said: "I just said that the baht accumulation is based on profits, and you have to take the profits to invest in another line." ”

Xie Huai'an said: "You can't invest all the profits in one industry, the scale of the yarn factory is already very large, but there are so many markets, and new factories outside will continue to be built, we have to learn to stop in moderation." ”

Wanlan thought for a while: "I don't know much about this, why don't you discuss it with Yuji?" ”

Xie Huaian shook his head: "If the medicine is made, then it must be our idea from beginning to end, and we can't ask for the meaning of Brother Yuji, our family must always have something that has nothing to do with him." ”

"It has nothing to do with him, but it has something to do with George," Wanlan said, "Isn't it the same?" ”

"It's different," Xie Huai'an said with a smile, "Do you really think George can stay in China for the rest of his life?" He was, after all, a British knight. ”

Wanlan looked at him dumbfounded, and after a while, she applauded piecemeal: "You can really plan." ”

Wan Tian coughed lightly again: "You can really plan, but it seems that I have been missed, if he can't stay in China for the rest of his life, then what about me?" ”
