After the meal, the men stayed in the three halls to drink tea, and the women gathered in the Wanlan room to talk, and Mrs. Qin was also there, asking her about her body, and nagging and saying a lot of things to pay attention to.

"I don't have a good memory now, my mother said this, I can't remember nine out of ten sentences," Wanlan said with a smile: "It's better to talk about it in detail when it comes to the present." ”

Mrs. Qin laughed: "Yes, women have to become stupid when they are pregnant, and it will take a long time to rest after giving birth." ”

Wan Tian said: "It's bad now, I heard that Sister A has been helping Brother Yuji take care of business, if his brain becomes stupid, won't Brother Yuji lose his arm?" ”

"It's not so exaggerated, it's just that I'm idle all day long, looking for some work to do," Wanlan said: "I can't help." ”

Chen Ji's cinema and film company are just to hide people's eyes, and his real business is Wanlan can't get involved, and he doesn't agree with him taking this as a pillar, so he has to try his best to run the two shops on the surface, and want them to develop into industries. Chen Ji didn't dare to let her let go of her hands and feet, so she followed it very carefully for more than ten days, and after a month passed, it really took effect before she really let go.

Mrs. Qin said to her: "It's okay to teach your husband and children with peace of mind, what to toss around." ”

Wanlan said: "Isn't this safe to raise the fetus, and when the child is born, he has to be busy again, so there is still time to toss around." ”

Mrs. Qin said: "Ah Ji will send you back, and he will return to Shanghai by himself?" ”

Wanlan nodded: "He can't do without people over there." ”

Mrs. Qin leaned towards her: "Is there anyone around him?" ”

Wanlan was stunned, and subconsciously shook her head: "Not yet, what mother means ......"

Mrs. Qin said: "I think it's better to let Lixia follow him back and serve his life, in the end, the people around you are more at ease than those found outside?" ”

Wanlan didn't speak, so Wantian hurriedly said: "Mother, what are you doing, Sister Lan is just pregnant, and you are worried about taking a concubine for your brother-in-law." ”

"What kind of concubine, Lixia was originally the one who was prepared for my uncle," Mrs. Qin said: "Whether to give a name or not, doesn't it still depend on what your eldest sister means?" ”

Wan Tian said: "So, Zhongqiu is also the person who prepared for my husband?" ”

Mrs. Qin nodded reasonably: "Then what's not?" If you want your head to give birth to a child, will you drink newcomer tea at that end? ”

Wan Tian didn't speak again, but her face was obviously uncertain, Mrs. Qin told her this, which meant that her marriage had been put on the agenda - it was time to put it on the agenda, she was not a few years younger than Wan Lan, and she was about to be twenty.

There was silence in the room, Wu Xinyi became pale in this silence, she never knew the secret backyard rules of big families, and she didn't have a maid when she got married, but Mrs. Qin would even take care of her uncle, how could she ignore her son, she was not prepared, but I am afraid that Mrs. Qin was ready early in the morning.

Wanlan saw that her face was wrong, and she could guess the reason in her heart, but it was difficult to bring it up directly because of Mrs. Qin's presence, so she casually pulled up a topic and wanted to turn the page over this matter.

"Ah Tian," she called: "Everyone is here, it's inconvenient for me to ask, it's all my own family now, tell me, what's going on?" ”

Xie Wanxian still wanted to play stupid with her: "What's going on......

"What's going on with Pride and Prejudice," Wanlan said: "When I didn't send you to school, I was making a fuss about going there every day, but now I'm in class again." ”

Wanxian frowned and snorted, "I don't like to study chemistry, I can't learn it." ”

"If you don't understand it, you can ask, how can you not learn?" Wanlan also frowned: "If you don't want to learn, then go home and get married, okay?" At your age, it's time to say kiss, just with your second sister. ”

Wanxian hurriedly shook her head: "This is learning, you must study hard." ”

The sisters all laughed, and Mrs. Qin poked her head: "Aunt Tao reminded me not long ago that I am interested in your marriage, and begged me to find you a famous and good mother-in-law." ”

Wanxian hurriedly got tired of her side: "Mother is kind, I don't dare anymore, I must study hard." ”

Wan Tian also answered: "If you can be admitted to the Beijing Normal University and go to the capital to study, your mother will have to give you a favor." ”

Wanxian immediately nodded like garlic: "I must pass the exam, I just don't want to go to the capital because I am reluctant to go to my parents and brothers and sisters." ”

Wanlan just laughed and didn't speak, and when Mrs. Qin was about to go back to the room, she left Wanxian alone: "Do you respect Mr. Xu very much?" ”

Wanxian understood what she wanted to ask, and before she opened her mouth, she blushed half of her face first: "Yes...... I revere him very much......"

Wanlan asked again: "You don't want to say goodbye, you don't want to go to the capital, it's all because of him?" ”

Wanxian lowered her head even more fiercely, and didn't move for a long time.

Wanlan said: "Yes, yes, no, no, what's the twist, are you still shy to talk in private among our sisters?" ”

Wanxian said softly: "No one has ever asked me this, I ...... Of course I'm going to be shy......"

Wanlan smiled: "You are sixteen years old this year, and you all complain that our girls are late, otherwise you will be afraid that the children will be pregnant." ”

Wanxian complained: "The eldest sister is married, and she has no doorkeeper on her lips, so she can say anything." ”

Wanlan reprimanded: "Don't want to change the topic, is it or not?" ”

Wanxian's face turned red again: "Then you...... Don't you see it all......"

Wanlan gasped: "You...... Are you really...... I thought I was overthinking, after all, you guys are so much age...... Ah Xian, Mr. Xu is almost forty this year! ”

"What's wrong with forty," Wanxian said disapprerovingly, "hasn't he married a wife yet?" ”

Wanlan didn't say anything for a while, Chen Ji rushed back to the room, and when he saw the two people who were speechless, he was frightened: "What's wrong?" ”

Wanxian told this secret, as if her heart was suddenly relieved, she grinned at Chen Ji, and pretended to be a blessing: "It's nothing, my brother-in-law is back, I won't quarrel with you, good night sister!" ”

She jumped out like a deer, and didn't forget to help them close the door, Chen Ji put his hand on the side of the warm basin, and shook his head with a smile: "Big girl, still like a child." ”

"Yuji," Wanlan turned her face to look at him, her expression was complicated, and her tone wandered: "If you have a daughter, wait for her to grow up in the future, and look at a man thirty years older than him, what should you do?" ”

Chen Ji gasped: "Ah Xian? ”

Wanlan nodded.

Chen Ji continued to be shocked: "Who did she fall in love with?" After speaking, he didn't wait for Wanlan to answer, so he took care of himself and said: "Xu Cunzhi? ”

Wanlan smiled bitterly and nodded again.

"The girl in your family is really powerful," Chen Ji said with a smile: "The second lady looks at the foreign knight, and the third lady admires the revolutionary party. ”

Wanlan smiled and said, "That's nature, my face is blessed." ”

Chen Ji laughed, touched her face with a warm hand, and lowered his head to kiss again: "Don't worry, I see that Xu Cunzhi is very good at Ah Xian, and he should have no idea in his heart, besides, he said that if he doesn't have a wife and concubine, he really doesn't have a wife?" Maybe it's just that he doesn't want to tell the truth. ”

Wanlan was only anxious, but she didn't expect this, she was persuaded by him and became happy again, got up and went over to widen his robe for him: "Your business in the Chamber of Commerce, do you want to participate in Huai'an?" ”

"He's very concerned," Chen Ji stood a little farther away from her: "The cold on my body hasn't dissipated yet, be careful of you." Huai'an is going to Shanghai in a few days, and plans to take this opportunity to open a western pharmacy, and I want to introduce him to the Chamber of Commerce, so that it will be more convenient to act on the field in the future, and I can also benefit from it. ”

He said that the Chamber of Commerce was established in Shanghai last year, led by patriots in the business circles, and Chen Ji was one of the first members to be invited, called the China National Products Maintenance Association, and there is a 16-character slogan: Advocate domestic products, develop industry, improve technology, and promote trade.

This boycott of foreign goods is still led by this maintenance association, and is jointly initiated by the other chambers of commerce in Shanghai, and the address is selected as a newly opened Huacui domestic goods company, which also has business dealings with Xiejia Yarn Factory.

Two days after Chen Ji told him about this, the Nanjing government promulgated the Provisional Constitution of the Republic of China, giving the people the freedom to operate capital enterprises freely. The government-run industrial units or the industrial units jointly run by the government and business left over from the former Qing Dynasty took this opportunity to take off their official hats and made a special trip to the private sector completely, and Zhang Jian was one of them.

Xie Huai'an dispelled the idea of expanding production, and invested part of the prepared funds in Western pharmacies, and the other part was used to buy gold, and there were rumors that the government of the Republic of China was going to issue new banknotes, but the situation was turbulent so far, and paper money was always more reassuring than real money.

Chen Ji couldn't stay in Zhenjiang for too long, he seemed to have a very urgent matter to deal with, and he only stayed for two nights before returning to Shanghai, and Xie Huai'an walked with him. The two married women bid farewell to their respective husbands in front of the mansion, Chen Ji told Wanlan a few words, suddenly glanced at Xie Huaian and his wife, and whispered to Wanlan: "I think you might as well teach your younger brothers and sisters about business matters, and Mrs. diplomacy is also very effective." ”

Wanlan often accompanies Chen Ji to socialize, because the wine hall without female dependents will always be arranged in the Qinlou Chu Pavilion, Wanlan said that she didn't care, but she looked down on those women a little in her heart, and didn't want Chen Ji to go to that kind of place to play. After going back and forth like this, I got to know the wives of many people in the Shanghai business community, and occasionally helped Chen Ji a little.

The relationship between the wives is different from that of the concubines, if they are more detailed, there is a difference between Mrs. Guan and Mrs. Shang, although both of them like to talk about some fireworks powder, but the friendship between Mrs. Guan is more inclined to know her husband through this wife, so as to find a helper for her husband; The merchant's wife is a comparison, occasionally getting together to scold the concubines in the family, and then ask for the secret recipe for two sons.
