Wanlan and Wantian went to pick them up at the Shanghai Railway Station, but their husbands didn't come, this is what Wanlan meant, she felt that Xie Huaian shouldn't want to see anyone other than her relatives at this moment. The house was found after they received the news, and Wanlan paid the money to rent a small apartment, which was very close to Wanlan's residence and Wantian's residence.

Xie Huai'an covered his face with his hat all the way in the car, and when he got out of the car, he pressed the brim of his hat low, his eyes were red, and his face was full of tiredness. Wanlan picked him up outside the station, and when she saw his ghostly appearance, the words of blame turned into boulders and blocked her heart, so that she couldn't spit out a word.

Wan Tian hugged Xie Huai'an and called him gently: "Brother." ”

Xie Huai'an reluctantly smiled at her: "Ah Tian, happy newlywed." ”

Wan Tian said "um", and wrapped his arms around his heart with both hands: "Brother, get better, you still have to come to my wedding." ”

Xie Huai'an was sent to the prepared house, and the nurse in white was already waiting, whether he had nothing to do with the Xie family's pharmacy, or a foreigner, presumably it was George's arrangement.

"There is another old man," Wanlan said, "but he can't come to the door, so we have to go to the doctor ourselves." I asked, you haven't been smoking for a long time, it's not serious, and smoking a cigarette is not a heinous thing, and many young masters and young ladies from rich families in Shanghai are smoking. ”

Xie Huai'an sat down on the sofa and glanced at Xie Huaichang: "I don't want to smoke, sister, I want to be cured, it's not a good habit, I don't want it." ”

Wanlan walked over, squatted down beside him, and patted him on the knee: "Then we will be cured, and we will not smoke again." ”

Xie Huai'an's eyes were red, and his eyeballs were full of bloodshots, he looked at Wanlan for a moment, and buried his head in his hands: "I have to go back to Zhenjiang first, and I have to arrange everything in the yarn factory." ”

Wanlan nodded: "There is a good reason, Ah Tian wants to hold a wedding in Shanghai, you take Ah Tian and George back to Zhenjiang, stay for four or five days, and then come back under the pretext of preparing for the wedding." ”

Wan Tian immediately said: "I hope that you and Brother Yuji can also go back together, and then Brother Yuji can take the lead in bringing up the matter of returning to Shanghai." ”

Xie Huaichang stood by the door and interjected: "I can't go back to Zhenjiang with you, I have to go back to Beijing quickly, maybe I have to leave today or tomorrow, Sister Lan should have heard that something happened in Beijing." ”

Wanlan looked up at him, lowered her voice and asked, "Is it President Yuan?"

Xie Huaichang nodded: "After a while, I may send the second aunt and the new sister back, maybe there are Wu Ziyu's families, do you think it will be in Shanghai or Zhenjiang?"

Wanlan was shocked: "Beijing is going to use a knife?"

Xie Huaichang said: "If a real knife and a real gun can't be moved in Beijing, who dares to make trouble under the nose of President Yuan? ”

Wanlan sighed: "If President Yuan Da is determined to settle down, then even if you send those family members here, it won't help." ”

Xie Huaichang said: "That's better than death, before I came, Yang Huizi was very popular with the president, and he often went to the presidential palace, this person used to advocate a constitutional monarchy in the Qing Dynasty, and now he is active again, presumably the president has moved his mind." ”

Wanlan didn't know who Yang Huizi was, but she could always understand the meaning of "constitutional monarchy", and couldn't help but change color in horror: "The president wants to be the emperor?"

Xie Huaichang spread his hands: "It's hard to say." ”

Wanlan hesitated: "But...... What is the difference between him and the emperor now? It's just that his name is different, what is the difference between him being the president and preparing for the establishment of a cabinet in Congress, and being the emperor of a constitutional monarchy, or preparing for the establishment of a cabinet in Congress?"

Xie Huaichang smiled: "The emperor is better than the president." ”

Wanlan was speechless for a long time.

Xie Huai'an suddenly said: "You can't bring their families from Beijing, you should take the people from the old house to Beijing." ”

All the people in the room were taken aback, except for Wan Tian.

Xie Huai'an said: "If President Yuan Da wants to be the emperor, then the revolutionary party will definitely be the first to stand up against it, especially Mr. Sun, who finally overthrew the imperial system, how can he let the imperial system make a comeback." And Mr. Sun's capital is all in the south, especially Nanjing, and President Yuan Da changed the capital of Jiangsu from Nanjing to Zhenjiang, which is not obvious enough? Once the two sides go to war, the first unlucky one will be Nanjing, and the second will have to be Zhenjiang. ”

Wanlan couldn't help but be frightened when she heard what he said: "Then according to your meaning, our family has to go to Beijing." ”

"That's not necessary, the Xie family is very important in Zhenjiang, whether it is President Yuan Da or Mr. Sun, they have to give a few colors," he said, only feeling that his addiction to smoking had recurred, he didn't want to show tears in front of Wanlan and Wantian, so he hurriedly sent the foreign nurse to buy Mo Phesan.

The foreign nurse had already prepared, took out the medicine and syringes from the medical box on the table, Xie Huaian rolled up his sleeves, and continued as usual: "I think that I will ask Huaichang to send both his parents and Ah Tian to Beijing, and live in the second uncle's mansion for a while, which can be regarded as a gesture to the president." ”

The other three stared at the needle that had pierced his skin, at the glowing tip of the needle and at his bulging cyan veins. Wanlan and Wantian had never seen this scene, and at this moment, they both felt shocked, Wantian directly turned her head away, while Wanlan looked solemn, frowned, and watched the foreign nurse push all the liquid medicine into Xie Huai'an's body.

And Xie Huai'an really showed a relaxed look on his face, he reached out and pressed the alcohol cotton ball that the nurse gave him, and then said: "The rest of the people will stay in Zhenjiang and eat and wear as usual." ”

Xie Huaichang asked, "What about you?"

Xie Huai'an rolled down his sleeves: "I'll stay in Shanghai for now, and I'll think about it when Ah Tian's wedding is over." ”

Xie Huaichang looked at him, his eyes were complicated, he didn't speak for a long time, Xie Huaian didn't know what he meant, and inexplicably glanced at Wanlan: "What?"

Xie Huaichang shook his head: "You just stay in Shanghai, and you have lost a lot of money in your business with Guizhou, a ready-made excuse." Asked Sister A to go back to accompany her sister-in-law to preside over the feed, the things of the yarn factory are still according to the original plan, Huai continues to preside over the daily production, Sister Ah supervises from the side, and you come forward for major events. ”

Xie Huai'an was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't understand the meaning of his long words, or maybe he didn't expect him to say this.

Xie Huaichang thought that he did not understand the intention behind this arrangement, so he explained: "My parents went to Beijing, leaving only my sister-in-law in the house, my mother must not be at ease, and it is logical to call Sister Lan back, and it will not make other people in the house suspicious." And the money you lost in Guizhou can be said, so it is logical for you to stay in Shanghai. ”

Xie Huaian laughed slowly and nodded again: "Okay." ”

Xie Huaichang breathed a sigh of relief, raised his hand to look at his watch: "I want to discuss this matter with my uncle and Wu Ziyu first, and they will come forward to invite my parents to Beijing, which will carry much more weight than our suggestion." ”

Xie Huai'an leaned forward, resting his elbows on his knees, his eyes drooped, staring at the ground, and said in a low voice, "Don't tell your uncle what happened here." ”

He's talking about his addiction to smoking.

Xie Huaichang nodded and softened his tone: "I know, don't worry." ”

Xie Huai'an raised his head and smiled at him, a smile that was completely formal, full of bitterness. None of them knew about him for the past two months...... To be exact, how much cigarette paste he smoked in a month and a half, and what is even more terrifying is that he smokes more than just cigarette paste, but he doesn't dare to say these things at all, especially in front of his relatives - it is a support and a burden for his relatives.

Xie Huaichang left Shanghai that evening, and he moved quickly, and Xie Daoyong had already sent a telegram back to Zhenjiang seven days later. At that time, the news of Xie Huai'an and Xie Wantian's arrival in Shanghai was also transmitted back to Zhenjiang, and the news of his large loss in Guizhou also spread, so he had to stay in Shanghai for a few days to deal with the stagnant book funds.

When Xie Dao came back from the capital, he received a telegram from Xie Daoyong asking him to go again, and he couldn't help but be full of doubts and dialed the phone in person. The news that Xie Daoyong could give him was even more terrifying than Xie Huaichang's: President Yuan had already begun to prepare for the civil war in May, and now that the war had started in Hubei, Li Yuanhong personally suppressed the uprising, and the north and the south were already incompatible.

Xie Daozhong knew that Wan Tian and George had returned, and he still wanted to meet his daughter, so he hesitated to take Mrs. Qin to Beijing: "Am I going to go now?"

Xie Daoyong said "um": "The president has already dismissed Li Xiaru, the former Song Yuchu was assassinated, in order to appease the Kuomintang, he specifically blamed the removal of the then premier Zhao Bingjun, there is one thing you don't know, the person who was originally scheduled to succeed Zhao Bingjun was Tang Shaochuan." ”

Shaochuan is the word of Tang Shaoyi, and Tang Shaoyi is the first premier under President Yuan Da, who is quite close to Mr. Sun and supports the cabinet and supports constitutional government, so he disagrees with President Yuan Da's political views, and the prime minister was removed from office within a few months. Now that President Yuan has dismissed Zhao Bingjun and wants to use Tang Shaoyi, it can be seen that he did have the intention of peace talks at that time.

"If Li Xia is dismissed, he will definitely rebel in accordance with Mr. Sun's wishes, and it will not be delayed for too long, he has made this head, the southern provinces will not be able to sit still, I hope you can go to Beijing before the civil war begins. ”

Xie Daozhong didn't speak for a while, and after a long time, he asked slowly: "I'm leaving, what should our family do?"

"The battlefield in Jiangsu is in Nanjing, not Zhenjiang, Zhang Pigtail will not be difficult for you, and he will not let the revolutionary party enter Zhenjiang. Xie Daoyong sighed on the other end of the phone, "Big brother, you are not in Zhenjiang, their juniors are good at maneuvering, but if you are not in the capital, I will be embarrassed, I heard that Uncle Fu's son defected to the Kuomintang, and now his position is not low?"
