One hundred and thirty-four. loyal
Lixia was not taken away by Chen Ji in the end, because Wanlan didn't mention this matter to Chen Ji at all, but Mrs. Qin hinted at two sentences, and I don't know if Chen Ji really didn't understand, or pretended not to understand.
Wu Xinyi was very happy with this result, and probably saw his hope from Wanlan. But Mrs. Qin said: "Don't be complacent because of his loyalty, it's not too late to be happy when you give birth to the child safely and he doesn't bring back the newcomer." ”
Wanlan smiled and said: "The two aunts of my father in the family were not your girls before, didn't something happen, if he can stick to the end with his loyalty, it will be good, but if he really brings someone back, I will just answer it." If a man wants to take a concubine, how can he prevent it by putting a girl by his side?"
Wu Xinyi couldn't help but ask: "If he takes a concubine, won't the eldest sister be angry?"
Wanlan asked her rhetorically: "What's the use of being angry?
Wu Xinyi smiled and didn't speak, but she quietly thought in her heart that if Xie Huai'an took a concubine when she was pregnant, she would definitely make a big fuss...... No, not only when he was pregnant, but he couldn't take a concubine in this life, he obviously promised it personally, but he couldn't talk about it.
Xie Huai'an went to Shanghai, naturally lived in Chen Ji's house, and when he called Zhenjiang at night, Wu Xinyi took the opportunity to ask him if he had found any confidantes in Shanghai who Chen Ji had a close relationship with. ”
"Of course Sister doesn't care, but she has already been mentally prepared to watch her mother fight wits and courage with the concubine all the way," Wu Xinyi said dissatisfiedly: "Why do you men have to take concubines, that daughter-in-law cares for your children at home, and you have to prepare a concubine first, what is the reason!"
Xie Huaian said helplessly: "Look, what are you anxious about, Brother Yuji didn't take a concubine, and besides, isn't your mother also fighting wits with concubines." ”
Wu Xinyi snorted: "What if he thinks about it? It's because my mother and concubine have fought wits and courage yet, and I know what kind of day it is, so I don't want my eldest sister to live such a day." ”
Xie Huai'an was silent for a while, and softened his voice: "Brother Yuji has never thought of taking a concubine, don't worry." ”
Wu Xinyi said with a low "um": "That's the best." ”
Xie Huaian said again: "I won't either." ”
The woman on the other end of the line smiled silently and repeated what she had just said: "That's for the best." ”
Xie Huai'an stayed in Shanghai until late March, and his return date was always postponed repeatedly, and it seemed that he would not be able to return in March, let alone delay until April...... Well, according to the calendar of the Republic of China, it should be the end of May. In the five months since the establishment of the Republic of China, there has indeed been a lot of peace in the country, the capital has been slowly restored, and shops have opened one after another. There was no uprising and turmoil every now and then, and the small people of Shengdou also began to share their lives in peace, planting the landlord's land and paying their own grain - it seems that there is no big difference from when the former Qing Ai Xinjueluo was in power.
After Yuan Shikai took office, he ordered the officials at all levels of the former Qing Dynasty to remain the same, and those local officials successfully kept their crowns, but had to begin to adapt to the requirements of the new government.
First of all, everyone's official titles have been changed, the etiquette prevailing in the officialdom of the former Qing Dynasty has been abolished, and the governors of the provinces who serve as soldiers are the majority, and the civil servants have been lowered. In addition, with the promulgation of the "Provisional Covenant Law" by the Nanjing government, a number of decrees were issued to the provinces: to open new yamen and build new schools...... Xie Daozhong was so busy that he didn't even eat lunch in the house.
The two schools left by the former Qing Dynasty in the capital, the Beijing Normal University Hall and the Tsinghua School, resumed classes one after another, and both changed their names, one called Peking University and the other called Tsinghua School, and both invited a famous Hongru as the principal. The president of Peking University is Yan Fu, who was once a classmate of the late former Japanese Prime Minister Ito Hirobumi, and even he is full of praise, while the Tsinghua school is Tang Guoan, a student of the second batch of officials sent abroad by the former Qing Dynasty -- Xie Daoyong has also met him in Beijing.
Xu Shinian came to the house again, because he wanted to recommend Xie Wanxian to study at Peking University, and this matter had to be discussed with the Xie family, including the major she wanted to study in the future, she had to get their approval.
When he went to the mansion, he caught up with the Xie Mansion to distribute this month's money, this matter was done by Mrs. Qin for the first two years, Wu Xinyi followed to learn, and now Wanlan came back, Mrs. Qin threw it to Wanlan, and asked Wu Xinyi to still follow and learn.
Wanlan didn't feel anything, but Wu Xinyi felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, she had been married for almost two years, and the only thing she really did in the Inner Mansion was to let the old servant buy a new girl, she asked herself that thing was done quite beautifully, Mrs. Qin was obviously satisfied, why didn't she let go and let her handle some things independently?
But she held these words in her heart, Xie Huai'an was not there, and she couldn't complain to others, the rain in front of her made her even dare not believe the girl around her, so she could only try her best to suppress the displeasure in her heart and whitewash the peace.
Wanlan listened to Mr. Accounts in the inner study, Wu Xinyi sat beside her, and found that those old servants had a much more respectful attitude towards Wanlan than her, and she was unhappy for a while, and couldn't help but wonder if the people in this family had not recognized her as this young grandmother.
Wanlan pays attention to maintaining her, and the account report is a report, she has no problem listening to it, and she has to ask Wu Xinyi's opinion again to finalize it, but Wu Xinyi always feels that this is just a formality, even if she has objections, Wanlan will persuade her...... Besides, she had no objections.
Xu Shinian was led in by the girl at this moment, first greeted the two wives, Wanlan pointed at her with a smile, and said to Wu Xinyi: "He called me Pingqing back then, but now he has become Mrs. Chen, it's terrible." ”
Wu Xinyi nodded: "I've never been called Mrs. Xie, why don't I hear it, I have goosebumps all over my body." ”
Xu Shinian sat down opposite the two, and said with a smile: "Then I'll call Mrs. Xie twice, so that you can get used to it first." ”
Wanlan instructed the girl to serve tea to the guest, and asked him, "Why did you come here at this point?
"I didn't have any classes this morning, so I just came over to talk about business," Xu Shinian said: "I want to write a letter to Principal Yan in Beijing, recommending Ah Xian to study in the capital, to ask for your opinion." ”
Wanlan was stunned and said, "She is only fifteen years old this year, and she can study at Peking University?"
Xu Shinian said: "With Ah Xian's knowledge reserve in liberal arts, it is not difficult to get an admission score, so it is better to read early while you are young, and if you want to study in the future, there is no difficulty in age." ”
Wanlan said: "But she doesn't have a diploma from middle school." ”
"I will be able to take the final exam in July this year," Xu Shinian said, "I only need to make up for a science subject, and it is no problem to get a diploma." ”
Wanlan thought for a while: "So, she can only study liberal arts when she goes to the capital?"
Xu Shinian nodded: "What, isn't liberal arts good?"
Wanlan hesitated: "Not really, it's just that she studied liberal arts, what can she do in the future?"
Xu Shinian never seemed to think that she would ask this question, and couldn't help but be stunned: "This...... There are still a lot of things you can do, if you read journalism, you can become a journalist, if you read literature, you can also become a teacher. ”
Wanlan looked at him and said in a joking tone: "I know the meaning of being a teacher today, Mr. Xu, how many students do you have, and each of them has to worry so much?"
Xu Shinian said: "That's not it, it's just that Ah Xian was instigated by me to go to women's school, if she gives up halfway under my nose, wouldn't I be sorry for you? ”
Wanlan smiled: "Speaking of marriage, I seem to remember that you said before that you are not married yet?"
Xu Shinian nodded: "No, what, you also want to care about my marriage?" Then don't bother with this thought, I have no plans to get married at the moment." ”
Wanlan said: "The boy starts a family first and then starts a business, what is the matter if you drag it to this age." ”
"Mrs!" Xu Shinian begged her for mercy: "You got married, but your mother-in-law and mother got up, let's talk about Ah Xian's affairs." ”
Wanlan turned her head and smiled at Wu Xinyi again: "I care about him, but he is still impatient, let's go, I will do Lu Dongbin once." ”
Wu Xinyi has not made a sound, she is quietly observing Wanlan's words and posture habits of treating people, she is completely relaxed in the chair, showing a sense of laziness, and speaking slowly, but there is a sense of calmness - on the other hand, she has a straight waist and her upper body is erect, her knees are close to the side, and she sits a little along the edge of the chair - the etiquette and demeanor are enough, but there is always a little bit of the meaning of being in charge.
Wanlan turned her head back and looked at Xu Shinian again: "Have you talked to Ah Xian about this idea?"
"I mentioned it, but I haven't said it in detail, I want to hear your opinion first," Xu Shinian took a sip of tea and asked, "What do you think?"
"I think what's the use, doesn't it depend on what this little ancestor means?" Wanlan said, "But I think she probably wants to read the news." ”
Xu Shinian frowned: "Oh, she's interested in the news?"
Wanlan looked at him again: "Maybe it's okay." ”
A few days ago in the school, the results were sent today, Xie Wanxian was wilted when he went home, and he knew that the score was not satisfactory at first sight.
Wu Xinyi asked quietly first, Wanxian wanted to pull her to be a helper, so she told her the truth, and finally begged her pitifully: "Sister-in-law, say good things for me in front of the eldest sister." ”
Wu Xinyi deliberately straightened his face: "You are so afraid of her, aren't you afraid that I am actually the more terrifying one?"
Wanxian said: "My sister-in-law must be reluctant to reprimand me, I know this, but my eldest sister is not necessarily, look at her, she can't do anything." ”
Wu Xinyi smiled and didn't speak again, but said in her heart that I was reluctant to reprimand you, I obviously didn't dare to reprimand you.
