Two, four, three. The spring days are long, and I can't wake up for a long time
From Wan Tian's decision to go to England with George to the time they actually went to England, they shared half a month, and they decided to return to China with the British ambassador to China who returned to China to report on their work, so they took the initiative to pay for a luxury cruise ship from Shanghai Steamship China Merchants Bureau, and only the salute that the couple wanted to take away took up half of the cabin, so that the ambassador laughed at them: "This must be the wife's idea, she is afraid that we will not be able to buy good things that we like in the British Empire." β
There was a slight mocking tone in this, Wan Tian understood, but did not refute it, these self-proclaimed noble Westerners have only passed a hundred years from admiration to contemptβnot even a ten-millionth of the time for the vicissitudes of life.
So what's the hurry? Man lives so short, but the world has so long.
Wan Tian delivered letters to the old mansion and Xie Huaichang and Xie Wanxian, who were far away in the capital, respectively, asking them to take time out of their busy schedules to come home, she had something important to announce.
The fact that she was leaving was only told to Wanlan alone, so the rest thought that what she wanted to solemnly announce must be a great joy of being pregnant. Mrs. Qin was ecstatic, and made a treasure vase with gold, with a circle of bat patterns engraved on the neck of the bottle, and a blooming lotus flower on the belly of the bottle, and a fat doll wearing a belly pocket sitting on the lotus canopy in the center, holding a treasure vase with a smile.
Wu Xinyi was a little apprehensive in her heart, and complained to Xie Huai'an: "When Zhuang Zhuang was born, my mother didn't give me such a bottle. β
"Didn't I give you a small bag of golden gourds?" Xie Huai'an laughed: "What, you just want a bottle?" Then I'll find a goldsmith to call you tomorrow." β
"That's not either. Wu Xinyi said, "What's the use of what you fight, I want what my mother gave me." β
Mrs. Qin took the lead in preparing such a big gift for Wan Tian, Wu Xinyi naturally couldn't be left behind, she couldn't take out Mrs. Qin's big money, so she could only do it herself, cut the satin and gold and silver thread to embroider a fan for her - Wan Tian notified too late, and she didn't have time to embroider the dress.
But Xie Huaichang and Xie Wanxian didn't come back, because they also thought that Wantian was going to inform the pregnancy news, so the two sent gifts from afar, and each had their own reasons for coming.
Wan Tian received the letter, and even thought that it would be over, so she only sighed and smiled: "It's good to keep it in mind, maybe when will you come back?"
Wanlan couldn't see it like her, and went home to call Xie Huaichang at night with a huff: "You are not small, you even dare to refuse your second sister's request." β
Xie Huaichang couldn't cry or laugh: "I will go back when I have a holiday, I have already asked for a leave not long ago, I can't say that my sister told me to go home, so I will ask for a second time, right?"
"Then I'll give you a good reason. Wanlan's angry voice softened suddenly, "Your second sister is going back to England with George, if you don't come back this time, it will be difficult to meet again in the future." β
Xie Huaichang was really surprised: "The second sister is leaving? Didn't you say that George planned to settle in China when she got married? Why did you change your mind after only a few years?"
"His father died, and his stepmother seemed to be planning to do something in her will. Wanlan used a pleading tone, "Can't you ask for leave to come back?"
"I'm going to take a leave of absence right now. Xie Huaichang said, "Then go to Beijing to pick up Ah Xian." β
"Let's come to Shanghai first," Wanlan said, "let's go back to Zhenjiang together." β
She originally intended to send Wan Tian back to her old mansion first, because Chen Ji promised to participate in the celebration of the Japanese consulate, and Chen Qimei also judged Zheng Rucheng's location by his car seat reference.
Wanlan originally strongly opposed Chen Ji's behavior of risking his life, she couldn't figure out why Chen Ji was so concerned about the assassination of the revolutionary party, Chen Ji explained with a smile that it was because she couldn't get used to Zheng Rucheng's actions and intended to eliminate harm for the people, but Wanlan couldn't believe a word.
"You see, you want a reason, I'll give you a reason, but you don't believe it. Chen Ji was half-lying on the bed and flipped through an idle book, he was very relaxed, his eyes were half-open, and he looked like he was about to fall asleep, "The matter has been decided, so don't ask any more questions." β
"Then I will go with you. Wanlan said resolutely, "I was also there when Hengzhu first met Qichuan Shun, and it was normal for me to follow such an important occasion as the celebration." β
Chen Ji was stunned for a moment: "No, it's too dangerous." β
Wanlan was not convinced: "If it's too dangerous for me to go, then why can you go?"
Chen Ji smiled: "You must compare with me? I graduated from a military academy, take 10,000 steps back and say, even if there is an accident on the scene, maybe I will escape faster without taking you with me." β
Wanlan said dejectedly: "According to your meaning, I still dragged you back?"
Chen Ji raised his eyebrows: "Isn't it?"
Wanlan was silent for a long time, and suddenly straightened her back: "I want to go with you." β
Chen Ji gave her a little look from the page: "Huh?"
"Chen Qimei wants to kill Zheng Rucheng, but she will definitely not provoke the Japanese. Wanlan said firmly, "Sun Yat-sen received a lot of assistance from the Japanese government and the people, and for the sake of his own interests, he would not take the initiative to provoke the Japanese." β
Chen Ji sighed softly: "I don't want you to go." β
"But I must go. Wanlan leaned beside him, curling up and curling herself into a small ball, "No matter what happens, I wish I was by your side at the time." β
Chen Ji was silent for a moment, put away the book and put it on the bedside, turned sideways and lay opposite her: "I always feel that you have changed a lot compared to a while ago." β
Wanlan laughed, and the sunlight shone into the room from behind her, outlining the shallow dimples on her face clearly: "I figured out something, so I changed it." β
She seemed to feel shy, and after saying this, she turned over and lay down, folded her hands honestly on her lower abdomen, closed her eyes and said, "I seemed to be ashamed to express it before, but I was too scared. β
Chen Ji thought it was funny, so he moved closer to her, supported her with his hand, and asked with interest: "What are you expressing, what are you afraid of?"
Wanlan didn't speak, she pursed the corners of her mouth, but her face quietly reddened.
Chen Ji raised his hand to cover her eyes: "You can be when I am not there, so I talk to myself." β
Wanlan laughed and opened Chen Ji's hand: "I hate it, how can I pretend to be this." β
She turned over and fell into Chen Ji's arms, her forehead was against his heart, and she didn't speak, but she breathed a sigh of relief.
Chen Ji put his hand on the back of her head, and suddenly pulled off the long hairpin that was coiled in her hair: "I see that many women have permed their hair, why don't you go and perm one?"
Wanlan put her head on the pillow with green silk, and some small embellishments of jewelry were sporadically revealed, Chen Ji picked out all the bits and pieces, straightened her long hair with her hands, and put the hairpin and hairpin on her head. The jet-black silk hair is like a precious ayara, and it makes the jewels shine brightly.
He seemed to find pleasure in this meaningless little game, switching back and forth the position and order of the little jewelry. Wanlan nested in his arms, obedient like a cat.
"Maybe one day if you want to get hot, you'll go to it. Her voice was muffled, coming out of Chen Ji's chest, as if it were coming from his body.
Chen Ji asked again: "You haven't said what you've figured out." β
Wan Lan chuckled in his heart: "Are you so curious?"
"Yes, I'm curious. Chen Ji swept away the gadgets placed on her hair, and played with a handful of green silk, "It's better to say this, you tell me, and I'll let you accompany me to the consulate." β
Wanlan hammered him in the chest: "How can there be such a deal." β
"Isn't this a deal to take what you need?" Chen Ji felt that his wrist holding his head was a little sore, so he simply put it down and pillowed on the pillow, "Do you want to say it?"
Wanlan only smiled, but didn't say.
Chen Ji also laughed, slid the hand that was playing with her green silk under her armpit, and suddenly pinched: "Do you want to say it?"
Wanlan trembled, laughed sharply, and begged for mercy again and again, but Chen Ji didn't plan to let her go at all, and only calmed down when she was out of breath when she laughed: "Say it or not?"
"Tell me about it. Wanlan retracted into his heart again, "What are you talking about? β
"Oh?" Chen Ji smiled again and went to pinch her shoulder again, "Don't say that?"
"Say!" Wanlan hurriedly stretched out her hand to block it, and deliberately said in an angry tone, "I don't want to ask you to take a concubine, so I treat you better." β
"Oh!" Ye Wei was stunned, not caring about her tone at all, "Don't you plan to be a virtuous and generous housewife?"
"What is that?" Wanlan said, "It seems that you have missed it in this life, so you can only wait for the next life to be careful, don't meet me, and have a chance to marry a virtuous housewife." β
"Let's talk about the next life. Chen Ji said, "The last time you yelled that you wanted to take a concubine for me, it was because of Su Man, and now you are yelling at me more closely, also because of Su Man, it seems that Su Man has hit you hard." β
"What kind of blow is she," Wanlan said, "you have the idea of accepting her, and this is the real blow." β
As she spoke, she suddenly sneered: "But fortunately, you didn't accept it, otherwise Uncle Zheng would often hate you to death, so I also protected a disaster for you." β
Chen Ji was interested: "What, you want to dismiss Su Man, does Uncle Zheng often hate you?"
"It's not just that he hates me," Wanlan said, "every time he sees me, he has to say yin and yang, but fortunately, he is a well-cultivated literati, and he can't say anything unpleasant." β
Chen Ji listened with a smile, responded with a sentence at the right juncture, and slowly stopped talking. Wanlan shook her head and said for a long time, listening to him for a long time without saying a word, she looked up suspiciously, and saw that his eyes were closed and he had fallen asleep.
"Hey......" Wanlan shook him and muttered, "What do you sleep in the middle of the afternoon, and you can't sleep at night?"
Chen Ji was woken up a little by her, grabbed her hand and replied vaguely: "I'm too tired, don't make trouble." β
