No. 16 Coral Garden, Uncle Huang's Mansion, wrought iron gate, front and back gardens, the main building is a Western-style three-story building. Such lots and pomp houses.

Its owner's family is generally higher than the ordinary petty bourgeoisie and middle class, and has barely stepped into the threshold of Shanghai's wealthy families.

The owner of the mansion was not at home, only one cousin, Zhang Meixi, was sitting in the living room, she wanted to flip through the newspaper, and she remembered to protect her eyesight.

I had to lie on the table where the chatterbox was placed, slowly flipping the red copper button, trying to find a Suzhou bullet review to listen to, but I didn't find a satisfactory one after a long time.

The blue clouds are in the sky, the yellow flowers are in the ground, the west wind is tight, and the northern geese are flying south. Who is drunk with frost in Xiaolai? Drunkenness always leaves tears.

This is the "Legend of the West Chamber", which has been sung for thousands of years.

Zhang Meixi finally gave up choosing to find a radio station, and looked into the distance through the glass window of the large living room.

The maid of the Huang family went in several times, kept asking her about adding water and tea, and told her about the dinner menu. One of the youngest maids simply stayed with her in the living room:

"Fried chestnuts and salted peanuts with sugar, which we bought with a few pooled money, Miss Cousin doesn't dislike it, try it!"

Since she came to live in Uncle Huang's house, she has been very generous, and the servants are willing to welcome her.

Zhang Meixi peeled a few peanuts and ate them.

Suddenly, she raised her hand and put it in front of her eyes, and when she looked at it from a distance, her hands were delicate and slender, white and tender, and very beautiful. But it seems that nothing has changed in half a year. Don't children grow up fast?

Zhang Meixi walked over to the dressing mirror on the side of the hall to take a closer look. The girl in the mirror is extremely thin, with a small face, and her eyebrows slowly clenched.

The ladies of the Huang family walked into the hall with a smile, saw their cousin who was looking in the mirror, and said:

"Cousin at home? I haven't seen you in days! What is it like to be a teacher in school? ”

"Oh, my cousin doesn't have to look in the mirror, she is a beauty billet."

Zhang Meixi made a slight curtsy and asked them a series of questions:

"My sisters came back from Sincere Company? What did you buy? It's cold outside, dinner is ready in the kitchen, you want to change it, go to them and tell them. ”

A few cousins sat on the sofa in the living room to exchange some shopping experiences, and their main purchase today is all kinds of wool.

Wool dumping in Australia, this year's Shanghai Tang, suddenly popular all kinds of sweaters and wool scarves.

Although there are very few celebrities and ladies of the new school of the Republic of China, there are very few people who embroider and entertain in person, and they are also very willing to support the new trend of sweaters and scarves.

Even Miss Huang followed suit.

Miss Huang showed her sisterhood, so she had to give some wool to her cousin, and everyone discussed some needlework skills together.

Zhang Meixi thought about it, and the work of knitting scarves does not require the use of eyes. Later, when television became popular, those housewives generally knitted scarves without using their eyes.

So I picked the simplest color and stitching, and planned to try to play with it.

As a result, Miss Huang looked at each other and smiled mysteriously.

Zhang Meixi made a casual choice, but it was a bit like she wanted to make a scarf for a man.

In the various romantic scenes of gentlemen and ladies, giving scarves is one of the fashionable choices.

When dinner was ready, the maid shook the phone and called Aunt Huang, who was playing cards outside, to come home for dinner:

"The young ladies are all back, and none of the gentlemen and young masters have come back, woo, Miss Cousin is also back."

The maid lowered her voice again and added:

"I've listened to the chatterbox for an afternoon at home, the West Chamber."

Aunt Huang Si thought about it, and felt that it was time to educate her niece on scheming.

After dinner, Aunt Huang didn't go out to play cards, and Miss Huang didn't go out to dance. Everyone continued to stay in the living room, studying the techniques of needlework.

Drinking tea, doing needlework and chatting about idle days, it is natural to talk about the recent headlines in Shanghai, Huang Si's aunt commented:

"The current atmosphere, under the slogan of freedom and love, is climbing indiscriminately outside, men have nothing to do with it, the most afraid of those female students, their parents don't recognize it, the outline is often chaotic, there are no three media and six hires, there is no worship ceremony, carry a small box, dare to live with people, young and simple-minded, deceived and lose their reputation, let's see in the future, in addition to hanging and jumping into the well, what else can be done."

What Huang Si's aunt said was that it was written in the newspaper about the female student eloping with someone, and after speaking, she also observed her niece's reaction nervously, and what she was most afraid of was that her niece would have something similar. Although there are many people who follow this child when he comes out and goes in, she can't be completely relieved that she didn't watch it with her own eyes.

Zhang Meixi practiced knitting a scarf without her eyes, watched Huang Si's aunt's speech as TV, and listened to her speak, so she smiled and nodded, and she couldn't see that there was a problem at all.

But Miss Huang next to her said:

"That Miss Kang Lingke is really scheming, the divorce lawsuit is out, and the alimony of 50,000 yuan has reached the sky in one step."

Miss Huang is talking about another matter, a female clerk who sells fountain pens, because of her beauty, got a marriage certificate with a wealthy young master, and soon went to a divorce lawsuit and received a huge amount of alimony.

Aunt Huang Si was not happy that her daughter diverted her words, and pulled back:

"Don't play tricks, Mrs. Conlingk's scheming, which of you can compare. Free and indiscriminate love is unacceptable, and you must listen to the old man. ”

Miss Huang didn't blush when she heard this topic, and pulled Huang Wu's aunt's arm to be coquettish:

"Don't worry, you won't fall in love with the poor ghost."

As for the noble young master, it is difficult to say, the eldest son of the Northeast King is active in the Shanghai social circle in the past few days, and that kind of handsome and handsome has attracted a lot of celebrities and ladies to be crazy.

However, Miss Huang can't touch it.

Zhang Meixi is thinking about the problem of the female clerk who sells Kanglingke fountain pens, a rare domestic brand of light industry, fountain pen and ink, she has always strongly supported it, but the future generations have become no shadow.

She was also concerned about money at the beginning, and even had the stupid idea of holding a funeral in the Zhang family. But since when did the mind become all about the nation-state? Location determines the boundaries of vision.

Standing in the position of Mr. Shandong, who was indiscriminately fabricated, you can see thousands of miles of rivers and mountains undulating.

Huang Si's aunt and mother and daughter conducted a night of scheming education for Zhang Meixi, which can be summed up in two sentences.

You must stand in the name of marriage and not elope.

You must find a good person, you can't follow the poor Xiucai.

Aunt Huang Si spoke tactfully, the chat was very smooth, and the meaning was expressed very clearly.

Aunt Huang Wu's scheming education also began, she got a secret report from the maid, knew that her eldest niece was at home, and hurried over early the next morning to block her in the bedroom.

I took my niece's arm and said some thoughtful words to her affectionately:

"The greatest cause of this woman's family is to find a suitable person to marry. I heard that Ping An Pharmaceutical Factory is going to have a big banquet, and the people invited are some leading figures, and Nong is a teacher in Ping An, so he always has some means to get the invitation, right? ”

"If you can't get it, go to Miss Lily's door, she is good at talking, don't be brainless, this communication matter, the first thing is important."

"Little girl, the skin is thin, in fact, what is the use of the skin? Socializing with big people can have great benefits. ”

Aunt Huang Wu was also very straightforward, and immediately forced her to curry favor with Miss Lily and get the invitation.

……

Thank you for the peace charm given by "my sister doesn't play her ass".
