Xie Huaichang did not return to the old mansion until July, and during these months, he was in a state of no news, and the old house people did not even know whether he was dead or alive.

Wu Xinyi saw the news in the newspaper and learned that the Kuomintang had completely wiped out the two Guangzhous, and an old friend was defeated by the iron cavalry of the Kuomintang army.

When Xie Huai'an entered the house, he saw her pinching the newspaper in a daze, and couldn't help but glance over: "The news of Liangguang? ”

Wu Xinyi pointed out the name to him, and Xie Huai'an read it out word by word: "Tang Jiyao." ”

Wu Xinyi nodded: "Tang Jiyao was defeated, and he was driven back to Yunnan." ”

Xie Huai'an didn't have any emotions about this name, just like seeing a stranger, and even let it go to comfort Wu Xinyi: "It's been so long, why bother worrying about the past?" ”

Wu Xinyi smiled: "Back then, a thorn in the heart can be regarded as pulling it out today." ”

Xie Huai'an laughed, he sat next to Wu Xinyi, folded the newspaper and put it on the desk, and took out a telegram from his cuff: "Ning Yin sent a report, saying that he was going to go home, and he would arrive in the next half of the year." ”

Wu Xinyi didn't speak for a while, she was still worried at the beginning of the year, but half a year has passed, she has basically guessed and determined Xie Huaichang's true whereabouts.

Xie Huaian said again: "He is in Guangzhou. ”

Wu Xinyi smiled and stood up: "I'll arrange lunch." ”

"Zhen Zhen," Xie Huai'an called her from behind her, "I'm sorry." ”

Wu Xinyi paused: "I don't think it's good to say this, but I have a conscience...... I hope he doesn't come back. ”

If Xie Huaichang has little news about this, then whether he goes to heaven or goes to the ground, it has nothing to do with the Xie family.

It's a pity that Xie Huaichang didn't hear Wu Xinyi's words, he still came back, with a gunshot wound that had not yet healed. Wu Xinyi ignored him, but Xie Huaian ran up and down, and transferred someone from Xie's pharmacy to change his medicine for recuperation.

Xie Huaichang noticed Wu Xinyi's abnormality, and he also understood how this abnormality came about. But although he felt sorry for Wu Xinyi, he didn't think he had done anything wrong.

Wei Yunru volunteered to explain to Wu Xinyi that she had prepared a big truth, what is the future of the country, and what she said was the truth, but Wu Xinyi only smiled and listened, and asked her rhetorically after she finished speaking: "So you want me to support my uncle to fight against my father?" ”

Wei Yun is like a straight color: "No, I am persuading my sister-in-law to persuade Yu Shuai, the history is vast, the obedient are prosperous, and the rebellious are dead, he is now timely to distinguish right from wrong, and join the revolutionary party, he will be the founding father of the country in the future, but if he is obsessed, he will not understand......"

Before she could say anything about me, Wu Xinyi sneered, raised her hand and applauded her righteous and awe-inspiring words: "Why bother in the name of history, it's better to directly say that your Kuomintang is a good one, a good one is a rebel, and one is dead." ”

Wei Yunru felt a little embarrassed, her face couldn't hold it, and she only then reacted to her gaffe, and quickly straightened her face again, and then said: "I am not a gold for the Kuomintang, but a sister-in-law, with the strength of Yu Shuai, I am afraid that it is not so easy to unify the country, I believe that Yu Shuai has the heart to help the world and save the country, but looking at the warlords all over the world, they are all fighting for themselves, Yu Shuai is difficult to support alone, and it is not as good as the cooperation of the Kuomintang, there is still a chance to win." ”

"Ah Ru," Wu Xinyi stood up, "For the sake of you and my concubine, I beg you to shut up, for the sake of your husband and my husband's own brothers, I beg you not to come back after you leave this time, before the world is calm." ”

Wei Yunru hurriedly called her, first "sister-in-law", then "Zhen Zhen", and finally got angry, and shouted "Wu Xinyi!" by name! ”。

But Wu Xinyi didn't even pause at her feet, she didn't even look back, and walked straight out.

When Xie Wanxian returned to the old mansion during the summer vacation, she found that there was an abnormality between the two concubines, because they didn't speak to each other, and they didn't even make eye contact, Wei Yunru would be able to avoid the place where Wu Xinyi was, and Wu Xinyi was much calmer than her, she completely regarded Wei Yunru as an invisible person. When the two of them went to the long room to serve Mrs. Qin together, Wu Xinyi acted like there was no Wei Yunru as a person, and they still talked or joked with Mrs. Qin as if no one was around, they were all cultivated according to the standards of the old lady, and they had endless common topics in terms of female celebrities and other aspects, and they got along day and night. Under the deliberate cultivation of Mrs. Qin, Wu Xinyi has taken over the entire inner mansion in an all-round way, and she even began to inquire about the affairs of the outer seven mansions.

When the two of them talked, Wei Yunru didn't even have a chance to interject, and even Xie Wanxian couldn't stand it, so she took the initiative to talk about some topics that Wei Yunru and Mrs. Qin knew to alleviate Wei Yunru's embarrassment.

In this entire old mansion, except for Xie Huaichang, Wei Yunru only has old friends with Xie Wanxian, and when Wu Xinyi showed obvious dislike for her, the girls in the entire old mansion stood on the side of the grandmother, just like the entire old mansion was isolating Wei Yunru.

In this case, she inevitably got closer and closer to Xie Wanxian, and even took the initiative to curry favor with Tao, saying that she knew several young talents from good families in Guangzhou and could be Miss Xie San's son-in-law.

Xie Wanxian couldn't cry or laugh: "Why are you doing this? You're going to go, too. ”

"Ning Yin feels sorry for her sister-in-law, and wants to get her sister-in-law's understanding before leaving," Wei Yunru frowned sadly, and sighed as she spoke, "Actually, I don't understand why my sister-in-law is angry, if Yushuai can lead the army to return to Guangdong, then he will be the founding father of the country in the future." ”

Xie Wanxian stared at her with strange eyes: "Are you sure that the Kuomintang will definitely be able to open the country?" ”

Wei Yunru nodded vigorously: "The army, ideology, foreign aid, and internal aid are all available to the Kuomintang, will there be a second party in the world that is more qualified and hopes to build a country than him?" “

Wanxian's eyes flew out, looking ethereal and long, as if she saw something in the void.

"Come to think of it, it is." She retracted her gaze and smiled, "The second sister-in-law is right. ”

Wei Yunru looked at her suspiciously: "You don't seem to agree with me very much." ”

"No, no," Wanxian hurriedly waved her hand, "Since the founding of the Republic of China, so many prime ministers and presidents, back and forth, I really don't know who will end up in this world, so I am a little unaccustomed to hearing you say this today." ”

Wei Yunru pursed her lips and smiled, and said gently: "Sometimes I would like to invite you to Guangzhou, I think you will definitely like it there." ”

"When I was young, I was ambitious, I wanted to do a groundbreaking career, I wanted to leave a name in history, I used to feel lucky to be born in this era, I felt that I was witnessing the advancement of history, but now I only feel that I was young and didn't know what it was like......" Wanxian said in a fog for a long time, and in the end, it seemed that she couldn't react to what she said, she quickly stopped and added, "I think it's good to be a teacher now, politics is too complicated, and I can't figure out who is right and who is wrong." ”

Yuan Shikai established the Republic of China, and then he fell into a power struggle with Sun Wen, Sun Yat-sen founded the Kuomintang, turned around and began to split with Chen Jiongming, and then fought endlessly, they were all people who wanted to revitalize China, but before they could revitalize China, they had to ensure their status first.

Xie Huaichang stayed in the old mansion until late July, Wu Xinyi still refused all communication, he originally wanted to spend time with Wu Xinyi, but Xu Shinian suddenly went south from Beijing and brought him a piece of news: "Mr. Liao Yibai has been assassinated." ”

Liao Yibai, Xie Huaichang is no stranger to him, on the contrary, he is quite familiar with him, he is a veteran of the revolution, he has been conscientious for decades, a person who really has ideals, and dedicates all to his ideals.

"I have resigned from my position as a reporter for "Declaration" and am ready to go south to Guangzhou, to Guangzhou "Shenzhou Daily", and continue to engage in my old profession." Xu Shinian said these words in the third hall of the Xie family's vestibule, and Xie Wanxian was also present, but he didn't look at her at all, "This time I disturbed the mansion, mainly for two things, one is that I heard that Ning Yin is in Zhenjiang, so I came to inquire about the date of your return to Guangzhou, if it is convenient, we can go together." ”

"I'll go back to Guangzhou immediately," Xie Huaichang said immediately, "how could Mr. Liao be assassinated?" And is it at this juncture? ”

"It's because it's at this juncture that it's not surprising. Liao Yibai agreed with the leftist line of the United Russia and the Communist Party to support the peasants and workers, but Hu Hanmin and Mr. Sun's son Sun Ke hated the Soviet Union and hated the Communist Party and wanted to become a one-party leader, and Chairman Wang had been Mr. Sun's deputy for decades...... He couldn't stop these two factions at all. Xu Shinian was sneering, and the corners of his eyes were piled up, adding a bit of sadness to this sneer full of contempt: "Less than a year after Mr. Sun's death, the struggle for power in the party began before the bones were cold. According to the land of Liangguang Projectile, before the Northern Expedition was completed, they had already fought in the same room first. ”

The warlords in Beijing fought for turf, and the revolutionaries in Guangzhou fought for power.

Xie Huaichang felt his powerless anger, which was like a false fire, which seemed to be huge, but in the end nothing could be done.

"Why did you quit your job at Declaration?" Xie Huaichang said, "You have rejoined the Kuomintang?" ”

"I've never **, how can I re-enter? I was also a veteran of the Kuomintang before the founding of the party. Xu Shinian's tone was secretly ruthless, as if he was lamenting his misfortune and angry with him, "I want to go to Guangzhou to see what Mr. Sun expects the Republic of China to look like." ”

Xie Huaichang was silent: "When Mr. Liao was assassinated, Chairman Wang must have been furious. ”

"He has already ordered your boss, Principal Jiang, to investigate this matter thoroughly, and it is estimated that the case will be clear when we arrive in Guangzhou." After Xu Shinian finished speaking, he took a deep breath, his chest and abdomen bulged, and then slowly deflated. He relied on this action to calm his emotions, and then took out an envelope from the bag he was carrying, "The second thing, the loan of seven thousand taels of silver." ”

Inside the envelope was a money order, from the British bank HSBC, opened in Beijing: "This is the last one." ”

Xie Huaichang and Xie Wanxian were both taken aback, the latter was agile with his hands and feet, snatched the envelope first, took out the money order, and read it carefully many times.

Xu Shinian's thin face showed a smile, he was wearing a coarse cloth gown, washed white, with a few bamboo embroideries of the same color, that was because he didn't want to patch the worn place, so he could only embroider a flower to block it - or Wanxian, who was embroidered by Wanxian himself, was in the capital.

"This matter is finally settled," he said, "and I can honestly say in the future that I have financed the revolution." ”

Xie Wanxian felt sad and said softly: "Sir, why bother. ”

"I'm just a poor scholar, and I don't have anything to grow, but this flesh and blood, if there is a use, please take it." He slowly repeated this sentence and said, "But for so many years, I have neither sacrificed my life for the revolution, nor have I made any contribution that I can make my hands on. ”

Xie Huaichang took the bill of exchange from Wanxian's hand, held it in his hand preciously, and instructed the girl to take a pen and paper, and wrote a receipt for him.

"Today, I have received a total of 7,000 taels of silver from Mr. Xu Shinian, and this is the basis."

Xu Shinian carefully dried the ink on the paper, carefully folded the receipt, and put it in the envelope where he had put the money order before. After doing these actions, his whole person suddenly became energetic, his eyes were bright and bright, and even his waist straightened a little, like a heavy burden on his shoulders was finally removed: "I am going to leave for the south tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, I don't know how you plan?" ”

"I'll go with you." Xie Huaichang said, "Cunzhi, please deign to stay in the mansion tonight, and we will go together tomorrow." ”

Xie Wanxian kept smiling and listening, and no one asked her what she meant, but she suddenly said, "Then I will go back to Beijing, I still have students in Beijing." ”

Xu Shinian turned his gaze to her, it was gentle, sincere, and seemed to be a little relieved and relieved complex eyes, he slowly nodded to Wanxian, and admonished: "In the future, be alone, be careful in everything." ”

Xie Wanxian smiled and nodded, and replied to him with the same words: "Sir, be careful in everything." ”

They bought a boat ticket together in the afternoon and prepared to leave Zhenjiang by water. Wu Xinyi heard that Xie Huaichang was leaving, and folded his hands in front of him: "God forbid, don't come back." ”

Xu Shinian was surprised, but he was not a person who couldn't figure out the situation, Xie Huaichang and Wu Xinyi, Sun Wen and Wu Peifu, this is a very easy puzzle to solve.

Xie Huaichang finally failed to convince Wu Xinyi, in fact, they didn't have a chance to speak at all, Wu Xinyi understood better than Xie Huaichang, she couldn't persuade Xie Huaichang to stay at home, and she wouldn't really understand him according to his wishes, even if it was just to make a show and pretend to forgive, it was an irreconcilable contradiction, and the only way to end was not in their hands.

When Xie Huaichang left the old mansion, Wu Xinyi and Xie Huai'an went to the dock to see him off, they said goodbye to each other politely, and then each embarked on their own paths, these two roads seem to be opposite, but the possibility of different paths is not ruled out.

Xu Shinian boarded the ship first, and then watched Xie Huaichang and his relatives say goodbye on the deck, Xie Huai'an prepared a huge amount of money for him, if those fiat currencies were converted into silver, exactly seven thousand taels, this seems to be the old mansion implicitly expressing his attitude, this is just a group of people who are actively busy for their livelihood, and they have no intention of caring about national affairs, but they also understand the truth that the world rises and falls, and the husband is responsible.

The whistle whistled and whistled, the boatman began to urge the tourists to get on the boat, Wei Yunru went to clean up their sleeper room, and Xie Huaichang stood on the deck with Xu Shinian to look at the shore, watching the bustling crowd and the old Zhenjiang with a new look. Many years ago, he left Zhenjiang for the first time and sat in Xie Daoyong's carriage, although he was excited, but he was only excited because he finally escaped from the old mansion, and he didn't know what he was about to encounter.

He suddenly smiled and said to Xu Shinian: "I never thought that my life would be like this. ”

Xu Shinian raised his eyebrows: "Like this, what does it look like?" ”

"Words can't describe it," Xie Huaichang smiled, "although it was unexpected, but it was not bad." ”

As he spoke, he took out a folded note from his suit pocket: "Ah Xian gave it to me before I got on the boat, saying that you don't seem to have high confidence in the revolution, although she has a thousand words to persuade, but after all, it is only a lie, so I only write four sentences to express my heart and encourage you." ”

Xu Shinian and Xie Huaichang opened the note together, and there were indeed only four sentences, which were written with a fountain pen, and the handwriting was beautiful, but it did not hide the bones.

They read out in unison.

to the battlefield,

Go to war for your family and your country.

Mountains and rivers do not re-shine,

Vowed not to return to his hometown.
