He Wanzhi listened to the persuasion to hold back her tears, held her daughter's hand, and talked about being a mother. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info Liu Jin'e put incense on Mrs. Lin, prayed a few words, and went to Shu Yufeng's house. Lin Zhengfang is not there, Shu Yufeng is the backbone of this big gang, and she has been suffering for Lin Shulan in the hospital for so many days, she is really tired, she hasn't taken off her clothes at this time, and she is crooked on the kang.

Liu Jin'e saw her lying with a tired face, hesitated, turned around and was about to leave, Shu Yufeng said loudly: "I didn't sleep, come in and talk about something." He sat up.

Liu Jin'e hurriedly stepped forward and took a pillow for Shu Yufeng to cushion behind her back: "I'm tired of my eldest sister these days, dozens of people of all ages rely on you, fortunately, Miss Lan is safe."

"yes. I finally saved one, otherwise I wouldn't know how to see him when the head of the house came back. "Japan is sure that people will do it, and Lin Zhengfang believes that the judgment of General Huang Xiansheng and others is on guard. At the beginning, the two of them said that once the fight really started, Shu Yufeng's responsibility was to take the old and young to take refuge. But who would have thought that the hundreds of thousands of Northeast Army, with guns, artillery and tanks, did not resist, so that the Japanese came so quickly!

Thinking of Lin Shuyang's cuteness of the five-year-old little fat man, Liu Jin'e had red circles in her eyes, and said hatefully: "Little Japan can't die well!" ”

"You have also read the news in the newspaper, looking at the situation of Little Japan, we will not be able to return home for a while. The third child, at home and outside the home, there are many people and many things, and you are also tired these days. ”

Liu Jin'e's mother's family has a lot of business in Beijing, and these days she buys odd and easy work, and her nephews and nephews follow up with the errands. This big family, who is not familiar with the place, is too busy to rely on the old seventh uncle and seventh aunt alone.

"Sister, is this a slap in my face? Why did the family tell me this! The kang in the house has been burned, Liu Jin'e took a thin quilt and put it on Shu Yufeng's lap, "You have to rest well this time, the kang is hot, don't sleep there at night, you have been boiling hard these days, I'm afraid of being empty, don't get on fire again." ”

Liu Jin'e's courtesy made Shu Yufeng smile: "Just now I asked Chenglin's daughter-in-law to buy meat and make dumplings at night." After a while, you go out to have a look, clean up, and eat in that flower hall, let's be lively. ”

"Hey, I see. The children have also suffered, and none of our families have stewed meat for three days or five days, how can they be so tight now! ”

"Hurry up, my father and the head of the family have said that the Japanese are hungry wolves who can't be fed and have no conscience, and they are worried about our Northeast for not a day or two, since the Ming Dynasty. If you really occupy it, can you pay us back cheaply? The days are long! ”

Liu Jin'e said to her lips, but she still changed: "Sister, you rest, I'll go out and have a look." After all, I was thinking about things in my heart, and there was hesitation under my feet.

Shu Yufeng couldn't see it, so she asked, "I've been taking care of Lan Yatou these days, there's nothing going on at home, right?" By the way, why didn't I see the fourth. ”

Shu Yufeng asked, and Liu Jin'e said directly: "I was about to tell you too, the fourth child, she has been out for a few days." ”

"What do you mean? What day did you go out? Where did she go out? "Shu Yufeng's intuition is not very good, the fourth wife, Shen Xiuying, has been wrong since her five-year-old son Lin Shuyang died that night. The common pain of losing a child is not seen in her at all, she does not cry or make trouble, she eats and drinks correctly, but her eyes are straight, and her expression is sometimes in a trance.

But when you talk to her, it's all clear and clear, like a good person. He Wanzhi cried for Lin Shulan, and Shen Xiuying followed suit, without mentioning her son. It made Shu Yufeng's heart furious, and instructed Liu Jin'e to pay attention to it.

"On the day Lan Yatou woke up, we ate together in the second sister's house in the morning, and at noon you came back and said that Lan Yatou woke up, we were happy, now I think about it, I didn't see her at lunch. Later, I heard Jingyi's daughter-in-law say that she saw the fourth senior sister coming to look for her. ”

"It's been four or five days, why did you tell me!" Shu Yufeng was a little angry.

"Sister, don't be angry! Didn't the fourth child go to her sister's place before, I thought about it and came back the next day, who knew that the fourth child would go out with him this time. I looked for it, and her sister's neighbors said that their opera troupe went to the temple fair, and they couldn't come back when they would....... "Liu Jin'e knew that this matter was her own negligence and did not take advantage of it.

She has always felt that the housekeeper is no worse than Shu Yufeng, but she really entrusted things to herself, but she mishandled it and made mistakes. Therefore, his voice became smaller and smaller, and his head was lowered, not daring to look at Shu Yufeng.

Shu Yufeng slowed down her breathing and suppressed her anger: "Has her senior sister's family moved?" ”

"No, everything is here." Seeing that Shu Yufeng's tone was gentle, Liu Jin'e settled down a little and replied very quickly, "They left at the beginning of the month, and when they left, they renewed the house money for three months." ”

OK. The troupe has to come back, so I'm not afraid that they will hurt Shen Xiuying. As for whether the troupe will encounter any trouble and affect Shen Xiuying, it's useless to think about it now.

Shu Yufeng thought for a while, and said: "If the fourth child is a good person and wants to go out for a walk, I won't stop him." He stopped and looked at Liu Jin'e, who was ashamed, and said, "The troupe is rushing to the temple fair, and they have to run around, there are many people outside, and it is chaotic, we are not familiar with the place, and there is no man, so we can't find it, so it is best for her to come back by herself." That's it. ”

Liu Jin'e breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly said: "I know it's my fault, when the fourth child comes back, I will definitely follow closely and never do it again." ”

The house where the Lin family lived here was originally part of a Manchu Qing Dynasty government. After the establishment of the Republic of China, only Emperor Puyi was given preferential treatment, and the Manchu and Eight Banner nobles lost their income. First of all, it can no longer be obtained without hard work, and the silver and rice that were originally born will be stopped; secondly, without political status, the princes and nobles not only have no opportunity to take bribes, but in turn have to pay bribes to the nouveau riche of the Republic of China in order to seek asylum; In addition, there is the "Zhuang land" that was forcibly occupied by the horses in the early Qing Dynasty, and because of the tenants and peasants taking the opportunity to resist rent, they have lost a huge amount of land rent income and all kinds of agricultural and sideline products for nothing.

The income is gone, but the word "sitting and eating the mountain" is not used on these Eight Banners magnates, because the "mountain" is too large-scale, if you only maintain a rich life, at least until the grandchildren of these people can have no worries about food and clothing.

But the aristocrats who are accustomed to extravagance and extravagance have not reduced their expenses, and they are still more pompous and talk about identity, and the speed of sitting and eating is like sailing with the river and the wind. Soon, when the gold, silver and jewelry in the house ran out, they sold the farmland, and when the farmland was sold, they pawned the antique property. Moreover, these noble children are almost all cowardly and incompetent, and in the past, the power in their hands could make people fearful, but at this time, they lost their power, and a large amount of property was swallowed by the original steward and the head of the village. Therefore, after the fall of the Qing Dynasty, all the nobles in Beijing were defeated in just twenty or thirty years.

Lin Shulan's Guogong Mansion, where they live now, is one of them. Originally, the wealth of this branch started from Nurhachi, and every emperor had this number one, and after so many generations of accumulation, the family background was quite rich. But the last Guogong and his descendants were still eating, drinking and having fun after their income was cut off, and because of the government of the Republic of China, the restrictions on the Eight Banners nobles making friends and visiting relatives, leaving Beijing, etc., were gone, and the money was spent more and more tricks to renovate.

First, they sold their land at a low price, and the money they got to build gardens was learned, and they learned from those fashionable nouveau riche families to install telephones and buy cars, and they didn't want to think about it, and people bought these, which was part of the money, and in their hands it was just a thing to burn money; Then sell antique jewelry, get a lot of money, but let a group of wine and meat friends take the words, go to Tianjin, a few days of work, even flowers and gambling, the money will flow out like water; In the end, I could only borrow money by pawning the house, but it didn't take long to spend it again, and I couldn't even pay the interest, so I was sued by the creditor.

So the house was seized by the court. Originally, the house was sold to pay off the debt, but when the cowardly, incompetent and ignorant widow saw the court seal, he thought that the house and things belonged to someone else, so he was so frightened that he moved in a hurry, and the car in the house was given to the driver as wages.

And because there is no big house, there is not enough place to live, and quite a lot of things can only be temporarily stored in the pawnshop because there is nowhere to store them, but only a few hundred yuan pawn ticket is opened.

What's even more outrageous is that no one cared about these things later! When I think about it, it has become a dead pawn, and it is all cheap pawnshop. The descendants of the last prince were so incompetent that in the end, it didn't take long for them to set up a stall to make ends meet, and they died of poverty and illness at the door of the old house.

At this time, the Guogong Mansion had already changed to a new owner, an important member of the Beiyang government. This person was born in a wealthy family in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, an authentic returnee, a young man, and he was in a high position before he was confused. However, not long after buying this mansion, the important person surnamed Fang stepped on the air and fell when he went up the steps when he returned late from a party.
