Chapter 36: Urgent Electricity
Zhou Xiang didn't pay attention to asking Wanchun to push into the car, so he had to sit down resentfully.
Ji Yuan was still angry when he saw her, he was not very happy, but this time he was amused first, so he asked Wan Chun: "What are you doing sneaky?" If people don't want to take our car, don't force them anymore. ”
Wan Chun ignored his ridicule, sat in after Zhou Xiang and asked with a smile, "Why did you come here today?" Didn't you say that you would call a rickshaw to pick you up, you came so suddenly, it scared me. ”
Ji Yuan said: "I have already asked Xiao Deng to pull back the rickshaw first, it is not me who deliberately made trouble for you today, but the Fengqiao Mansion called and said that the second sister had a tire gas last night, and now the situation is not very good, so my mother asked me to come and pick you up and go home, while you have not officially attended the class, she will take you to Shanghai to see the second sister." ”
"Second sister has fetal gas?"
Wanchun's expression changed, and she vaguely remembered that Jin Li had said that Li Zhongqing's due date was in October, and now it was mid-September.
She was also a person who had a body in her previous life, not to mention the death of a baby, so she was even more worried about Zhongqing's situation, and hurriedly urged Ji Yuandao: "Then send Mi Sizhou back, and we will rush back to the Jing'an Mansion." ”
Ji Yuan couldn't help her, so she had to turn the car around, send Zhou Xiang to the Counselor's Mansion first, and go back to the Jing'an Mansion with Wan Chunfang.
Entering the upper room, Yu was anxiously restless, and when he saw their brother and sister coming in, he urged: "Nannan, I have asked Xiu'er to pack your bags, you go and change your clothes, and we will go to the station immediately." ”
Wan Chun hurriedly agreed, and immediately returned to her room, Xiu'er had already been notified, and had opened the door of the wardrobe, Wan Chun was in a hurry, and took a set of clothes to put on and go out, Xiu'er hurriedly carried her suitcase and followed.
Yu Shi was ready, and when he saw Wanchun coming, he ordered someone to prepare the car, and told Na Lin Caizhu and them: "When I am not at home with the fourth lady, you should pay more attention to the diet of the old gentleman and the gentleman, the weather is going to be cold, and the winter clothes should also be taken out to wash and dry." As he spoke, he saw Ji Yuan also standing next to him, and said to him, "You should start school tomorrow, sort out all the things you need, save you Lao Tzu from coming back and ask you what you don't know, Li Hui and they also passed on my words, if you dare to pry you or cover you to go out and mess around, I will come back from Shanghai, and I will definitely not spare him." ”
Ji Yuan touched his nose, saw that what she said was a little true, and quickly nodded with a smile.
The messenger outside came over and said that the car was ready under the door, so Yu took Wanchun and walked to the gate, put the luggage in the trunk, and got on the train and went straight to the train station.
Because the Ministry of Railways had already received a call from the Jing'an Residence, and knew that the wife and lady in the Secretary of State's Mansion were going to take the train today, they packed up a first-class carriage for his mother and daughter to sit in, and in the next carriage were the attendants and guards sent by Li Lanfeng, all dressed as ordinary messengers. Wan Chun and Yu rested on the train all night, and it was not until six or seven o'clock the next morning that the attendant came in and called the door: "Madam, miss, Shanghai Station has arrived." ”
Wan Chun got up with Yu in his arms, and the attendants took the luggage and went to the platform first, checked left and right, and saw that there was nothing unusual, so they found a car and sent their mother and daughter to the town guard embassy - Fengqiao Mansion.
Wan Chun grew up in Shanghai in his previous life, and after marriage, he worked hard with Lu Jianhao among Shanghai celebrities, and he was already used to seeing the streets and alleys of Shanghai. On the contrary, Yu didn't know the reason, although Zhongqing was in danger, but thinking that Wanchun was the first time to go out, he said to her: "This is the Oriental Paris - Shanghai that foreigners often say, you haven't been here, if Zhongqing is fine, you can find someone to take you out for a walk." ”
Wan Chun nodded, her eyes just looked out of the car window, watching the tram rolling past the car, the rickshaw driver in short clothes lowered his head and ran to pull, the ladies and ladies on the car were all dressed up fashionably and brightly, carrying a calfskin bag in their hands, and a huge diamond ring shining dazzling light between their fingers, as if they saw themselves going to the mahjong field in order to explore Lu Jianhao's future.
She was there alone in a daze, and when Yu saw it, she only thought that Wanchun was a new place, and she was still very unfamiliar, so she didn't pay attention to her performance. The car drove on the street for more than half an hour before turning onto a cement avenue, and after driving for less than a quarter of an hour, Yu shook Wanchun's arm and said, "Don't look, we've arrived, let's get ready to get off." ”
Wan Chun came back to his senses and glanced out in the direction the car had stopped. I saw a large green lawn in front of the car, surrounded by a white jade railing, enclosing a garden, and a few white pigeons fell sporadically outside the railing, cutting their pointed beaks into the railing.
In the garden are two rows of neatly trimmed evergreens, with a few empty beds in between, planted with imported tulips and English roses, in the right colours and arranged in a very elaborate manner. In one corner of the garden is a native phlox, with lilacs, which have passed the flowering season, and the lilacs can only see a few leaves.
Further inside, there is a two-story white western-style building, geometrically patterned structure, similar to a children's tangram patchwork patchwork, the roof is white lacquered wooden boards, the bottom of several large green glass windows, chanterelle yellow inlaid with a narrow red border. The windows are covered with carved iron fences, also painted with chanterelle yellow.
The door of the front living room extends an eaves, the top made of blue glazed tiles, and under the eaves stands a person who looks like a cub in the west. ”
Yu said, "What about your wife, how is she now?" ”
The man said, "Madame is resting in the room, and the old man called the doctors of the East and the West in the morning, and she is still in the house." ”
"Did you call so many doctors?" When Yu Shi heard this, he panicked, and hurriedly grabbed Wanchun's hand and said, "Quick, let's go in and have a look." ”
Wanchun told her to pull it back, and she couldn't help but follow her, and entered the bedroom through the glass door of the living room, and the servants on the way knew that they had gone to the Jing'an Mansion in the old Beijing by phone.
As soon as Yu arrived in the room, the two doctors called by his son-in-law Tan Rulin were whispering together, they were all ordered by various mansions, and they had some friendship between them.
It's just that this situation is very bad in the eyes of the Yu family, and he privately thought that Zhong Qing couldn't do it, and said with tears before he stepped into the door with one foot: "How do you say this, what a good person, how can you take care of it like this?" ”
Tan Rulin was comforting Zhong Qing behind the bamboo screen at that time, and when he heard that someone dared to say depressing words at this time, he scolded him without looking at it: "What kind of nonsense is this!" Don't fight out yet? ”
Wan Chun saw that he had misunderstood, and hurriedly walked two steps into the house and said, "Sister, brother-in-law, my mother and I saw that you were here." ”
Tan Rulin was really surprised at this moment, and Zhong Qing was also stunned when he heard it in the confusion. When she didn't feel very good yesterday, she did ask someone to call home, but she was afraid that in case, her relatives would be able to see each other, but she didn't want Wanchun to come so quickly.
So he pushed Tan Rulin's arm on the bed with the sick body, Tan Rumin suddenly woke up, and hurriedly got out from behind the screen, and smiled at Wanchun and Yu: "Why don't you call someone to say something when your mother and sister are here?" I don't know it's you, and you're offended by what you say. ”
Yu Shi waved his hand, didn't care about anything with him, dragged Wanchun to the back of the screen, looked at Zhong Qing lying on the bed with a dry face, couldn't see the half bright scene of the past, sat on the edge of the bed with tears in his eyes, held Zhong Qing's hand and said, "Child, what's wrong with you?" Didn't you write your letter home well that time, why is this the case today? ”
Zhong Qingyuan is a strong character, because he married Shanghai from the old Beijing, except for his aunt Li Lanzao, there is no one who can shush the cold and ask for warmth, as soon as he saw Yu's face, he vented all the grievances accumulated in Su Ri, and said with tears in his eyes: "Mom, my daughter has been living so hard these days." ”
As soon as the words fell, the two mothers cried and choked. Wanchun stood beside Yu's side, although she was not very familiar with this sister who was picked up for nothing, but when she looked at her situation, she felt uncomfortable, and her nose was sore, and she burst into tears.
A few people cried together, Tan Rulin asked two doctors, as soon as he heard this cry, he remembered that Zhong Qing could have this thing completely because of himself, in case of a little accident, the Jing'an Mansion couldn't spare himself first, and the relationship between himself and Zhong Qing for several years was in vain, so he came in with red eyes and persuaded: "Mom, the doctor has already said that this matter is not as serious as we thought, I am afraid that it is just going to be born prematurely, and we are told to prepare the news of the midwife in the house first." ”
"Waiting for news? What news are you waiting for? Yu wiped his eyes with a handkerchief, raised his head obliquely and looked at Tan Rulin and said, "Let me ask you, Zhongqing's body is not as weak as Nannan, when she was pregnant, I also asked someone to inquire three times and twice, and they all said that it was very good, how could there be such a thing that alarmed the fetus when she was about to give birth?" ”
When asked about Tan Rulin's heart disease, he knew how powerful this mother-in-law from the Yu family in Jinxi was, and he didn't dare to talk nonsense in front of Zhongqing, so he changed the topic and said: "I'm also in a hurry, seeing that I am going to give birth in October, who knows that it will be called preparation now." Mom, you are from the past, you must know how to deal with this matter, I don't like it, our family is a poor family, my father and mother grew up farming, and the body is not as delicate as my mother and Zhongqing, giving birth to a child is like laying eggs, where do you know a lot of ways? I didn't dare, and I couldn't ask them, but when my mother came, I put down a stone in my heart. ”
