Ninety-eight. Troubles
George came back with a letter from Xie Huaichang, which was written in mid-July, but when he arrived at Xie's mansion, it was already close to the end of September, and the mansion was busy, because Chen Ji had sent an invitation to invite the old mansion to go to Shanghai to watch a foreign opera. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½fo
Even Wanlan has never seen a foreign opera, the kind of thing projected on a screen, there is no sound, only one villain after another moves on the screen.
She told Wantian and Wanxian about these things she heard, and described them as a matter, Chen Ji listened and laughed on the side, and dismantled Wanlan's platform: "Actually, she hasn't seen it either, it's all hearsay." β
Wanxian said: "Ah! Sister, you wasted a year in the capital! β
Wanlan punched Chen Ji in the shoulder: "Call you to talk too much!" β
Chen Ji waved his hand and begged for mercy: "Oh, Xiaosheng didn't notice it for a while, and he lost his words, so I ask the young lady to forgive me." β
Wanlan snorted, gave him another slap in the face, and then turned to Wanxian and said, "It's just that there are more important things to do, which is a waste." β
Chen Ji continued: "Yes, I am busy drinking tea and coffee with the ladies and ladies every day, and I am very busy from this banquet to that salon. β
Wan Tian didn't hold it, "poof" laughed, and hurriedly covered her mouth with a handkerchief: "No wonder George said that the eldest sister knows all over the world." β
Wanlan looked at Chen Ji and didn't speak, Chen Ji raised his hand again to beg for mercy: "Xiaosheng lost his words again, and when he turned around, he came to apologize to Miss Lilly." β
Wanlan snorted: "Manager Chen has serious things every day, and nothing is left behind in the capital, and the Rongling sisters in front of me also told me that they all think that you stayed in Kangli because of your admiration for Zhengtian Meizi." β
Chen Ji said calmly: "Really? Then they thought it was wrong. β
Wan Tian and Wan Xian covered their mouths with handkerchiefs and laughed quietly, and the former was not to be outdone and complained to Chen Ji: "Brother Yuji must not know that when Sister Yu made a marriage contract, it was actually to exchange the marriage for the opportunity to go to the capital. β
Wanlan said: "I finally agreed, he didn't even respond, or his mother made a small decision with me without telling him, Ah Tian, you said this, but you can't threaten me." β
Chen Ji held the lamp in one hand and nodded with a smile: "Indeed, I have never agreed to the marriage that my mother has set for me. β
Wanlan snorted, and her tone was cool: "Look." β
Chen Ji continued: "Ah Lan is such a talent, if I marry you because of my parents' orders, wouldn't I have wronged you. β
He put his hand on Wanlan's shoulder, and didn't make too intimate movements because he was afraid of someone else's presence, only gently stroked her shoulder, and asked her with a smile: "Aren't we happy with each other?" β
Wanlan couldn't get used to him making these intimate descriptions in front of others, and even her neck stiffened at the moment, she subconsciously glanced at Wantian and Wanxian's reactions, shook her shoulders, and reluctantly smiled: "It's nonsense again." β
Chen Ji took advantage of the situation to withdraw his hand from her shoulder, and said, "Okay, no kidding, after talking so much, have you two decided?" Hengzhu Zhenjiang is not far from Shanghai, you can go to the same day and return on the same day. β
Wan Tian looked at Wan Lan's blushing face, she didn't want to let go of this opportunity to make fun of the eldest sister, so she was deliberately startled: "Sister! What's wrong with you? Why is your face so red? Don't have a fever, do you want to invite Lang Zhong to take a look? β
Wanxian laughed, and she didn't know if she didn't understand Wantian's meaning, or if she deliberately added fuel to the fire, she pulled the second sister's sleeve, and pointed to the eldest sister and said, "Sister Tian, this is the girl Huaichun." β
Wan Tian suddenly realized again, dragging a long "Oh-": "Then Sister ......"
"Chen Yuji!" Wanlan snorted, she didn't drink Wantian didn't say Wanxian, but took Chen Ji out to blame, glared at him angrily, and turned her face away.
Her cheeks were red, and the light in her eyes seemed to be feathers with hooks, Chen Ji's heart fluttered, and he reached out to shake her hand, but Wanlan got up and walked away, and went to sit next to Ah Tian.
The two sisters in the pavilion burst into laughter, Wan Tian patted lightly on the table, and asked Chen Ji again: "Brother Yuji, to be honest, have you ever thought about getting married?" β
Chen Ji said: "No, really, it has never been used." β
Wanxian followed up and asked, "Haven't you used it before you met Sister A?" I don't believe it. β
Chen Ji couldn't help laughing: "Chen Xie's engagement can be withdrawn?" Even Xiaoding has been decided, if one party inexplicably withdraws from the marriage, I am afraid that the two families will break up because of this. β
This is the truth, Wanxian is a little stupid, because she wants to hear Chen Ji say something about her original plan to withdraw from the marriage, and she regrets it after seeing Wanlan.
Chen Ji saw her thoughts, so he smiled and said, "But it was the idea of leaving her with my mother after getting married. β
Wanxian came to the spirit again: "Hey, the girl has been so bad for a good life, it's better to say it to that Jiang Gongzi." β
Chen Ji was taken aback: "Which Jiang Gongzi?" β
Wanxian said: "It's the one Ah Xin said, the Jiang Gongzi who went to Germany." β
Chen Ji asked incredulously: "Baili? β
Wanlan pulled Wanxian and played the round with a smile: "Ah Xin is just talking nonsense, it's a joke, you take it seriously." β
Chen Ji said with a smile: "It's okay, you can't get married for a hundred miles, and Ah Lan can't get married, so Miss Wanxin can only think about it." β
He said, paused, and smiled again: "It seems that I made a bad impression on her. β
Xie Wanxin said a lot of bad things about Chen Ji in front of the Xie sisters, and they were all said in front of Wanlan, she would also observe her words and feelings, knowing that these words were only jokes when they were said in front of people, and they would become completely bad words when they were put behind their backs.
"She just met me, how can she be so dissatisfied," Chen Ji said, and then turned to look at Wanlan's eyes, with a smile on the corner of her lips, and suddenly there was a sense of affection: "As long as her cousin is satisfied." β
Wanlan's face began to have a fever again, and she glanced at her two younger sisters before she mustered up the courage to respond to him: "Yes, very satisfied." β
There was laughter in the pavilion again, and it was at this juncture that George, who had been absent for a long time, was led by the servant, and his face was full of smiles: "Ladies and gentlemen, I haven't seen you for a long time, it seems that you are all doing well." β
The people who were greeted were startled, and they were stunned for a moment before they came back to their senses, Chen Ji stood up and shook hands with George, and the three sisters saluted him again. George was still dressed as a long journey, sat down beside Chen Ji, and went to greet Wan Tian first.
Wanxian looked at them and laughed, and wanted to joke again, but Wanlan pulled her behind her back and took the conversation over: "George, you came back just in time for Yuji to invite us to Shanghai to watch a movie." β
"Oh!" George smiled: "I have always been a man favored by Lady Luck, so sir, can I receive an invitation?" β
"Of course, very welcome," Chen Ji said, "but I invited my fiancΓ©e to please her family, so Mr. Spencer, you ......."
George immediately said, "I'm Lan's teacher. β
Chen Ji was stunned for a moment, and George said again: "I know what you want me to say, sir, but I won't say it." β
He had a mysterious smile on his face, so Chen Ji also laughed and shook his head: "That...... Good luck? β
Chen Ji took care of all the affairs of the trip, from the traveling boat to the car to and from Shanghai, they took the ship to Shanghai, and when they arrived at the dock, the car was already waiting on the dock, and sent people directly to the cafΓ© opposite the theater.
Wanxian leaned on the glass lattice and looked out, pulled Wanlan's sleeve and said, "Sister, look, the movie theater is called Yuping." β
Wanlan glanced at it, and replied absentmindedly: "Why did you come up with such a name, I thought it would be called in English." β
She also invited guests, it was the Yu Deling couple who had just married and settled in Shanghai, Wanlan was very attentive to her, because she wanted to envelop this friend, she firmly believed that the value of people is the value of their connections.
Yu Deling came in a hurry, carrying a bag in his hand, and apologized to Wanlan to explain that her husband, White, was resting at home because he was sick and had to be absent from the invitation.
"I just bought him medicine," Deling raised the bag in his hand to her and complained: "The pharmacies opened by the Japanese are too expensive, and no one dares to get sick, just a few small pills, it is more than twice as expensive as the capital." β
Wanlan comforted her with a smile, called the waiter to order coffee, and introduced her to Xie Daozhong and his wife.
There were not so many people at one table, so Xie Daozhong and his wife were accompanied by Chen Ji and George to sit in the booth, Wanlan took De Ling to ask for peace, and still returned to their table to talk.
Wanlan patiently listened to her complaints, the woman who served the Queen Mother in the past got married, and she would also become a nagging woman, and even she didn't notice it.
"I said I wanted to write a book," Wanlan asked her, "Have you started writing?" β
De Ling smiled embarrassedly: "Not yet, there are too many miscellaneous things at hand." β
Wanlan comforted her: "It's just right, I haven't had time to learn English yet." β
De Ling glanced at the booth of Xie Daozhong and his wife, and said to Wanlan, "Why, you have hired Sir Spencer as your personal tutor?" β
Wanlan waved her hand and smiled: "How can I have that ability, it's because George himself hasn't lived enough in Jiangnan." β
De Ling glanced in the direction of the booth again, just met George's gaze, and smiled at each other, she withdrew her gaze, put her hand to her lips, and whispered to Wanlan: "Where is the capital in Zhenjiang fun, no matter how bad it is, Nanjing is better, I don't think it's that I haven't lived enough, but that there are people in Jiangnan who can't leave, right?" β
Wanlan's heart suddenly changed, and she didn't know whether she should tell her that George had a longing for Wantian, Wantian hadn't promised to marry yet, if the two of them became successful, it would naturally be a good marriage, but if it couldn't be done......
She settled down and smiled at De Ling: "Perhaps, you also know the rules of the inner courtyard of the mansion, and I usually don't see him." β
