CHAPTER XXXI
When I looked up, it turned out to be Uncle He. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info he walked outside in a black windbreaker, looking like a dusty man, but the female students got up one after another, looking at him walking to He Shujun in the front row with envy on his face. This is the charm of Gu Shaoqing and He Shutong, they always have the ability to provoke others to lock their eyes on them, regardless of them.
He Shujun couldn't think of the purpose of her brother coming in front of everyone, but she was also very proud, as soon as her brother appeared, she attracted those female students who had never seen the world to marvel again and again, such a personable person was her own brother, how could she not be happy?
"Brother, why are you here?"
The young lady of the Wang family next to He Shujun saw that He Gongzi, who she had only met yesterday, was striding in the direction where she was at this time, and her heart instantly fluttered and beat violently, and her face was also dyed with a layer of red. It's just that she didn't have time to react correctly, Uncle He had already pulled his sister and whispered in her ear: "You immediately pack up your things and go home with me, right away!"
"Brother, what's wrong? Is something going on at home? He Shujun looked puzzled, looking at his brother's face, it was obvious that he was very unhappy at this time. The fact that he was clearly going to Shanghai and was here at this time was an unusual signal in itself.
He Shujun obediently packed up his things and didn't forget to say hello to his friends: "There may be something at home, Sister Wang has a good class, and I will call you in the evening."
Wang Wanyin wanted to ask a few more words, but after thinking about it, she felt that she had no reasonable position, so she could only nod stupidly and ask her to call at night.
Uncle He had already walked to the door with his sister, paused, and asked the driver to send the eldest lady out first, and then turned back to the classroom and walked towards me.
I avoided him and pulled Zaoe to ask about the homework that had fallen, but the other person had already walked to him, his tall body blocking the sunlight outside the window, and he only said one sentence without a head: "Han Zhao, please forgive Shujun, she ...... She's not sensible, I'll keep her in good hands. You ......" He didn't finish speaking, and turned back and left. There was a lot of talk, but they didn't understand what was going on. Only I know that those peaceful days that belong to me will probably not be ......
For two days, there were always tabloid calls coming in from the family, and the reporters got the news from nowhere, swearing that they had the latest reliable information, and they called just to confirm what kind of attitude Liu Fu held in the news of the sister falling in love with father and son?
At first, my father and mother were just angry about who had leaked the news, but soon this anger turned into anger, because some newspapers had already made a special feature of the news. The second aunt who hadn't come to the door for a long time came, and when she heard the news, Gu Rulin, who came from the government meeting, came, and the teacher picked me up from the school and went home directly from the side door. People from all walks of life gathered one after another, waiting for me and my sister to be tried.
The second aunt even held her waist with one hand and supported the door with the other, like when I came back from Beiping, she stood at the door and didn't come in, but this time she didn't wear the old-style palm skirt that she wore before, but wore a popular oblique long-sleeved flannel cheongsam, dark blue fabric lined with a skinny face, a pair of triangular eyes swept around, and hummed: "Everyone is all together, just right, save me from waiting." As she spoke, she tucked the handkerchief into the jade bracelet in her right hand, and slowly moved her feet into the chair, glanced at her mother, and then sat down.
"Sister-in-law, I won't make trouble today. You and the eldest brother give me an explanation, we Changzhao finally let me fall in love with a family a few days ago, the girl is handsome, and the family is also well-off. Being messed up by your news, people are not happy, and today I dragged the matchmaker to ask for a return to Geng Tie, and I can't stop it. Your long room has been out of the news one after another, and now it's good, just in time for my son to throw such a bomb, but you can tell me, what kind of bad luck has happened to our second room, because of the inappropriate behavior of the nieces and nephews, and suffer from the black pot? It just so happens that Mr. Yaoshan is also here, but you are giving my parents a commentary! Good child, Pingbai was burdened by his cousins, it was my incompetence to be a mother, married a second room, was trampled under the feet of the long house for no reason, couldn't turn over, couldn't be the master of his own family after being divided, and had to go back to this old house to reason, what kind of reason is this? ”
Her cry was full of tears, affectionate, and people who didn't know saw it, and really thought that this woman had suffered a great grievance and had nowhere to tell. Maybe the second aunt is really wronged, if Changzhao can't marry because of my sister and me, then cousins like ours are really harmful.
My sister and I glanced at each other, each lowered our heads and looked at the tea cup in our hands and didn't speak, what is there to say? What she said was reasonable, although it was ugly, but it was a fact in front of her. In the past, when she came to make trouble, we laughed and ignored it at most, but now, we can't ignore it.
The teacher sat on the Taishi chair opposite, glanced at his father, and couldn't help but nod and speak. He is now the only person in our family who still retains reason and judgment, and he is also the trustworthy person we can rely on at present, and what he says always represents my father's meaning in a certain way, including not only his friendship with my father for half of his life, but also his master-apprentice affection for me. Therefore, we have no reason to believe in him, and we trust him wholeheartedly, because we have no way to do it now.
When people are most helpless, they always want to grab something, and this is especially evident in my family.
I only listened to the teacher's voice, like an old man, with a bit of solemn and deep taste: "I don't know which girl the second wife is talking about?" Has Li ever heard of it? ”
It didn't matter if he asked, the second aunt was worried that there was no one to vent, so she immediately said in response to the teacher's question: "It's not me who brags, the matchmaker has been kissing us for half a year, and the girls in Nanjing City have let me pick them all over, so I found such a good girl." The family's surname is Bai, and the ancestor has also been an official, and the girl stayed in the capital with her parents for a period of time when she was young. After the Qing Dynasty was gone, their family also returned to their ancestral home like our family, Mr. Bai started a medicinal herb business, in the past two years in Jiangsu and Zhejiang is very open, it is said that the business will be expanded to Shanghai in the coming year, the most important thing is that there is only Miss Bai in the long house, and it is not hard to hurt, and this business can also be passed on to the children in the future. The more she spoke, the more energetic she became, regardless of what everyone in the room thought of her. Over the years, we have all understood what kind of heart the second aunt is, but Mr. Gu, who first met her, did not understand. He looked at the second aunt who was talking endlessly, just like looking at a monster.
And we probably understand the situation of the Bai family, the ancestor has been an official and this item needs to be verified, and now he is a serious medicinal herb merchant, and there is only one daughter in the family, who is twenty-four years old this year. And my cousin Chang Zhao, who has just turned 20 this year and is about to graduate from the Shanghai Railway School, after his death, he seems to be the eldest son of the Liu Mansion.
The room was quiet, and only the second aunt was still taking the trouble to praise the good of the Bai family and the wonder of the Bai family. Everyone was silent, thinking about how to stop her and discuss something imminent.
The second uncle walked in at this moment, knowing that he was smoking opium in Master Min's field behind his back, I don't think he was as kind as before. Before, even if the second aunt was unreasonable, the second uncle was always enlightened. But in front of me, looking at his back that was no longer straight, I suddenly felt a trace of sadness, is there any hope for a successor in the Liu family's three-room man? It's just that I can't think about it, and the second uncle has already interrupted the second aunt's conversation with a scolding: "Do you still have the face to talk about the Bai family?" The woman's eyes are shallow, and when she saw a little profit, she pushed her son into the fire pit, and the young lady of the Bai family had a pockmarked face, so she dragged it to the twenty-four and waited for the boudoir, what is the use of the dowry no matter how rich it is? Our good son didn't marry her because of the blessing of their ancestors, and they still don't want to? Retreat Geng sticker is lining my mind, you run to your sister-in-law and don't say help to think of countermeasures, what nonsense! ”
The second aunt was scolded by the second uncle, and she was a little stunned before, but when she reacted, she replied: "Master, you ...... Before she ...... at home, "Before she finished speaking, the second uncle counted again: "If you are not convinced, go home and talk slowly, now that Mr. Gu and Mr. Yaoshan are here, let's discuss the news in the newspaper first!"
There was silence in the room. Han's mother walked in with Hokkien black tea, the weather is getting cooler these days, and it is always gloomy outside, and a slight carbon fire is lit in the house, which makes a rustling sound from time to time. Fujian Gongfu tea, rich aroma, red soup color, both suitable for clear drinking, and suitable for drinking. The second aunt talked for a while, and she happened to be thirsty at this time, and when she saw Han's mother coming with tea, she got up and took a cup and sent it to her mouth. Although Han's mother was displeased, she didn't dare to speak, so she only took the tea and quickly walked to the top, took a cup for her father and teacher, and then served it to Mr. Gu and the others on the side in turn. When she walked in front of the second uncle, Han's mother's hand holding the tea paused, and then she continued to send it to the second uncle: "Second master, please use it!"
"Mother Han, you are also an old man in the family, what happened like this, don't you have anything to say?" The second uncle drank tea and asked slowly.
"The second master has promoted the slave maid, although I have entered the Han family since the old lady returned to Beijing, although the time has been long, I am just a subordinate after all. How can there be a reason for the master to talk casually without opening his mouth, such an unruly old lady has never taught me. "What Han Ma said is awe-inspiring, such a resoluteness makes me a little relieved about her previous identity, as far as the current point of view, although she is a drop of blood from the previous dynasty, she has not done anything to harm our family, at least, I don't know, maybe I don't know it yet.
In the corner of the main hall, there is an antique-style floor-standing clock, which is said to be an item that was paid tribute to the royal family by the West during the Qianlong period, and it has now arrived in our home after several times. At two o'clock in the afternoon, the hem of the old clock shook faintly, and then slowly shook and trembled, and it became more and more quiet as water in the room.
Mr. Gu sat on the Ziyu Bailing wooden chair, crossed Erlang's legs and lit a cigarette, he seemed to think for a long time before he made up his mind to speak, so he spoke extremely fluently, and people couldn't interject for a while: "Yaoshan, Qingsong, I hope I can still call you like this." I don't want to see something like this. Don't worry, I'll send someone over and promise to tell them to change their tune tomorrow, there's no doubt about that. It's just that, in this way, I have to talk to the two of you about Mingzhao. I know that Han Zhao is very good, and she is also a good match with my family, but after all, she is the person Jiu Ming wants to marry as a daughter-in-law, and it is really difficult for me to be a friend. Our family has no mother since he was a child, and I still prefer him to have a legitimate mother at this time than a lover. Ming Zhao is gentle and polite, elegant and dignified, and has many similarities with Shaoqing's deceased mother, and I believe that she will love Shaoqing. And Shaoqing will soon get out of the damage caused by this relationship, after all, this is a relationship that involves too much and cannot be blessed! ”
"Is Minister Gu taking advantage of the fire to rob?" Father asked, "Do you still think that our Liu Mansion is now soft-spoken, and we have to listen to your instructions in everything?" ”
Gu Rulin was stunned for a moment, obviously he didn't expect his father to say this, and couldn't help but smile with a smile: "I just want to show my responsible attitude towards Ming Zhao and discuss my thoughts with the two of you."
"Discuss? I see that Minister Gu only cares about his own success, and does not care about the face of our Liu family. ”
"Qingsong, why do you have to do this?"
"Why didn't the father call his son with him?" The sudden sound made everyone startled, the sky outside the house was drifting with snow at this time, the cold wind in the courtyard was blowing the windbreakers of the people who came in, and the dim light and the sincere snow all over the ground blended together, and people couldn't help but think, how could the snow come so early and so often this year?
Gu Shaoqing was wearing a windbreaker and gloves, and walked from the atrium.
