Wanxian returned to Zhenjiang after getting the exact news from Xu Shinian, since she was in high school, the time spent in the old house has been getting less and less, and now that the dust has settled on the matter of going to school, she wants to take advantage of this stress-free summer vacation to stay in Zhenjiang for a while.

Her biological mother Tao has been heartbroken about Wanxian's marriage recently, and it happened that Mrs. Qin was choosing a wife for Xie Huaichang, so she went to see Mrs. Qin every day, hoping to take this opportunity to choose a good husband for Wanxian. She had such thoughts, but she didn't dare to say it openly, so she secretly planned to wait for Xie Huaichang's side to finalize the candidate, and then look at Mrs. Qin's eyes to mention Wanxian's matter.

It's just that she hasn't mentioned it yet, and her mind has been broken by Wanlan, this married aunt and grandmother have raised the fetus in her mother's house for seven months, and her mother-in-law has not urged her to say a word, and Chen Ji has not said a word. Tao originally expected Wanxian to marry an official family, especially after her first two sisters married businessmen and foreigners respectively, the girls who Xie Jianeng married to officials were the only ones left Wanxian, but now looking at the married life of her two sisters, I can't help but feel that envy of Mrs. Zhengfang is naturally noble, but how can it be more in line with what a woman thinks about a lifetime and a couple?

Wanlan didn't know about the change in her mind, so she only said to Mrs. Qin: "I see that Aunt Tao has been here recently, but I'm afraid that she wants to ask her mother to plan for Ah Xian." ”

"Ah Xian still has to go to school, what are you going to do?" Mrs. Qin got up from her lunch break, let the girl take care of her hair, and dozed off, "At least wait until she graduates." ”

"Ah Xian is already seventeen this year, and when she graduates, I'm afraid she will be twenty," Wanlan said, "Our girls are really late married." ”

"I think Ah Xian is better married than your sisters," Mrs. Qin said with a smile, "She is a female jinshi." ”

Wanlan glanced at her mother in the mirror, and said half-truthfully: "It's really enviable, now our three sisters, on the contrary, Ah Xian is the most powerful, if you want to overpower her, it seems that you can only go abroad to study." ”

Mrs. Qin's sons and two daughters all stayed in the country, according to her ideas, each started a family and started a business, and did a safe and stable business, but she was a concubine and a concubine who went to the sea, and those who studied in the university hall studied in the university hall, Mrs. Qin first felt that these two things were a bit shocking, and she was unwilling to let her own son wade into troubled waters.

Mrs. Qin sighed: "If I go back to the time when you were not married, I can make decisions for you, I will be approved, now you are not only married, but also have children, listen to your mother-in-law in everything, even if I want to send you to the sea, I have no position to speak." ”

Wanlan sat up straight suddenly: "So, I want to go abroad now, my mother is on the right track?"

Mrs. Qin was taken aback by her actions: "Do you really have such a plan?"

Wanlan nodded: "I have this idea, but I can't say when I will go." ”

Mrs. Qin looked at her cautiously: "At least wait for this child to be born and grow up safely, right?"

Wanlan looked at her mother's eyes, pursed her lips and smiled: "Maybe, maybe I want to go overseas with him?"

Mrs. Qin laughed, as if relieved, she sat down next to Wanlan, reached out and gently stroked her high bulging belly, feeling that there was a rumbling movement inside, and couldn't help but be surprised: "Is he moving?"

Wanlan leaned back, propped her hands behind her back: "Perhaps, he has been restless lately. ”

"It's good to be restless, and it's good to be restless. Mrs. Qin said, "Your husband is a restless person, so he has today's achievements, look at his peaceful brother, at his age, he has achieved nothing." ”

Wanlan said: "Speaking of the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, my mother-in-law is also looking for a good woman for him, I think Aunt Tao meant, she once planned to marry Ah Xian to him." ”

"That's not possible," Mrs. Qin said, "Ah Xian is a female jinshi, and if you want to marry, you have to marry a better one, a university professor or something, then it's okay." ”

Wanlan smiled: "I thought my mother would want to marry her to an official." ”

"What's so good about Mrs. Guan," Mrs. Qin sighed softly, "It's good to be an official in a prosperous era, and it's not easy to be an official in troubled times. I only hope that everyone in our family will be safe and survive this troubled time. ”

Wanlan was speechless for a long time, and when this passage happened, Tao was listening at the door, mixed with joy and sorrow, she now believes that Mrs. Qin does indeed regard Ah Xian as her own and is dedicated to her future, but the sad thing is that she herself was born in the family of the official eunuch, and married in the family of the official eunuch, it is inevitable that she will have Long Wangshu, and she does not know the benefits of having power and money.

At best, he is a teacher of the country, who eats imperial grain and receives the salary of the state, but in real terms, he is just some sour and rotten literati, who have no power and no money.

She sighed for a moment in her heart before politely asking the girl to pass it on, first asking Mrs. Qin to say goodbye, and then greeting Wanlan, who was in good health, then lightly set up half a chair and sat down: "Is there a new candidate for Mrs.?"

Mrs. Qin looked at her and said with a smile: "Said that Cao Cao Cao arrived, and only then did he marry the eldest lady Ti Axian." ”

Tao said: "Mrs. Labor and the eldest lady are worried, I want to thank Mrs. and the eldest lady for Ah Xian, thank you the eldest lady." ”

Mrs. Qin waved her hand: "I don't know if you heard it outside, but the eldest lady and I both feel that Chen Yuanchu is not good, and we have to find a better in-law for her." ”

Tao has always been submissive in front of Mrs. Qin, and she will do whatever Mrs. Qin says, but this time there is a reason for it, and there is probably no one more concerned about her daughter's lifelong event than herself.

She pondered the words in her heart for a long time, wanting to tell them her doubts, but she was afraid that she would use the wrong words and anger Mrs. Qin.

Wanlan waited for a while, covered her mouth with her hands boredly, and yawned: "Whatever Aunt Tao wants to say, just say it." ”

Tao glanced at Wanlan and lowered his head again: "Then I don't know if the eldest aunt has every good candidate." ”

"Yujina?" Wanlan was stunned, "Most of his friends are businessmen, and Aunt Tao wants to marry Ah Xian as a businesswoman?"

Tao couldn't hold it on his face, and his cheeks turned red: "I think that a merchant woman also has the benefits of a merchant woman, at least she doesn't have to worry about food and clothing after she gets married." ”

Mrs. Qin frowned and said: "My mother-in-law's family is not good, whether it is good or bad, and my mother's family, can't our family still afford their little two?" I don't really want to marry Ah Tian to an ordinary businessman, but if she can give up literature and start a business like her eldest brother-in-law, then I can still consider it." ”

Dow stammered, "But but"

Wanlan waved her hand impatiently: "Forget it, Ah Xian has just been admitted to the university hall, even if she wants to discuss marriage, she has to wait until she finishes her studies. ”

Tao Shi looked at Mrs. Qin and Wanlan's faces, and finally bowed his head and responded: "Yes, it is up to Mrs. to decide." ”

Mrs. Qin picked four alternatives for Xie Huaichang, two of them were squires in the countryside of Zhenjiang, her favorite, and the other two were the ladies of Nanjing and Suzhou respectively.

Wanxian returned home, saw these two options, and was happy for a long time: "Didn't the second brother tell his mother?"

Mrs. Qin was stunned: "What?"

"He himself fell in love with one in the capital, he was a student of Peking University, he was beautiful and beautiful, and he was very wise, I think that girl is also quite friendly to the second brother," Wanxian chuckled, "Even if the second brother didn't say it, didn't the eldest brother say it, he smiled for the Pomeranian, and specially called the eldest brother for help." ”

This conversation took place at the family banquet for Wanxian, when Mrs. Qin turned to Xie Huai'an, her eyes were already unkind, Xie Huai'an hurriedly raised his glass to apologize, and said: "He did tell me about this young lady, but he didn't even know where the family was doing for a living, which inevitably made my mother happy, so I told me to hide it, and I wanted to wait until the matter was clear." ”

Mrs. Qin said unhappily: "Even if he doesn't say it now, he should have a message, so that I don't have to worry about his marriage anymore, and it's a shame that Ah Xian is back, otherwise my candidates have been selected, if he comes to meet the other party again, won't he say anything too late then?"

Xie Huai'an smiled and said again and again: "But didn't you say it now? Mother's four candidates, let's put it aside for the time being." ”

Mrs. Qin ignored him, lowered her head and drank half a bowl of soup, and suddenly remembered something, staring at Wanxian: "Ah Xian has also been outside for a long time, could it be you."

Wanxian didn't react yet, but Tao was already so frightened that he bounced up from his seat and knelt down and kowtowed: "Don't think like this, Mrs., Ah Xian will never do anything insulting." ”

Wanlan frowned: "What is Aunt Tao doing? Hurry up, what is insulting, if she can look down on a good man with an innocent family background and a good man, it will be a good story." ”

Xie Huai'an nodded: "Yes, aren't Sister Ah and Brother Yuji acquainted with each other in Beijing?

He knew that he was speechless, so he hurriedly stopped his mouth, and changed his words and ordered the girl to pick up Tao: "Okay, if you don't have these things, Ah Xian will not get married tomorrow." ”

Wanxian lowered her head and sipped the soup slowly, looking at a relaxed look, but Wanlan saw that she was absent-minded, presumably thinking about someone in her heart.

The turmoil of the 21st article in the capital has not yet dissipated, and the matter of the president proclaiming the emperor has been boiling again. Xu Shinian's first task when he arrived in Beijing was to find out the truth of this matter and get first-hand news.

On the 20th of last month, Liang Qichao had already made a statement about the so-called national system problem, telling Yuan Shikai and his ilk not to "have no wind and waves, stir up demons and make monsters, and confuse the people and the country with infinite relatives". He was a high-ranking talent that Yuan Shikai personally sent a letter to invite back from abroad, and once formed three parties with his own strength to oppose Sun Wen's Kuomintang during the first parliamentary election, and was the person who campaigned for the democracy he hoped for all his life, and now even he stood on the opposite side of Yuan Shikai, and it is self-evident whether the emperor is true or false.

He interviewed Mr. Yuan's constitutional adviser, the American politician Goodnow, through his previous connections, and before that, early last month, the benevolent brother had just published a republican and monarchical treatise intended to advocate the imperial system. This is really ridiculous, if the British or the Japanese had done this, there would still be so much truth in it, but an American who also practiced a monarchy did it.
