Chapter 60: Stagnant Waters
Burol smiled slightly, and his eyes were unstoppably melancholy and relieved.
Like Ji Yuan and Wan Chun, he grew up in the Jing'an Mansion, and as the eldest son and grandson of the family, he has carried much more expectations and responsibilities than others for a long time. He knows exactly what kind of mind his grandfather has and what kind of mind his parents have.
They just wanted to pave a golden road for him, even if he tried his best to win the opportunity to study in Japan, even if he tried his best to do everything to the best, in the end, they still couldn't believe him, and tried their best to push him on the set journey. So that he can go to the official career, to the wealth, to the vanity, to the gentle township arranged by the family, step by step, until he is dying, and then his children and grandchildren will take over and continue to walk.
This is the sorrow of a big family, generation after generation, always have to inherit some dreams that do not belong to them, and pay for them, in order to preserve the prosperity and prosperity of a family.
The Li family is the same, Bo Alcohol sighed silently, feeling the kindness of the fourth sister Wanchun, he had to go down this step, touch Wanchun's forehead and smile: "I'm coming back by car, I'm very tired, it's good to go to your house and sit down." ”
Wan Chun smiled, turned around and said to Li Chengxu and Li Lanfeng: "Grandpa, Dad, Mom, my eldest brother and I went to my house to play for a while, do you have anything else to say?" ”
"No, you guys go, Ji Yuan doesn't have to spend time here, just talk to your eldest brother and Nannan."
Li Lanfeng was glad that Wanchun said a word, so he broke the dullness in the house, and hurriedly ordered the human: "Has Bo Ol's room been cleaned up?" Who was sent to the house? ”
The housekeeper Li Da was waiting outside the curtain. Hearing this, he opened the curtain and came in, bowed and smiled: "Young Master Eldest Sun's room is cleaned up." The study next door has also been cleaned up, and the place for rest and study is neatly organized. The girl who used to serve the eldest young master, Xing'er. The year before last, the eldest young grandmother allowed her to marry and let her out, and I was about to discuss with the eldest and youngest grandmother, should I buy another person from outside to come into the house, or should I just pick one in our yard and wait? ”
Li Da is a person who serves his grandfather and grandmother, and he used to call Wanchun's father and mother uncles and grandmothers, but after so many years, he still hasn't changed this title. The Li family is an old-style renovated family, and some bad habits from the feudal period have naturally been abandoned. However, some etiquette rules have been retained as they are. For example, the servant who served the Venerable Master, although he was a servant in name, was still like half an elder in front of the younger generation, and Li Lanfeng and the Yu family also acquiesced to his title.
Originally, the family was considering that Burol would go to Japan to study for four years, and they wanted to send his messenger with him, but Burol did not agree, so he had to divide it in each room. Two big and small girls, a big girl Xing'er gave a dowry to go out of the house, and a little girl Duo'er gave a little more money to ask the family to take it back. If you want to find someone to serve at this time, I am afraid that the new purchase will not know the details and importance. I'm afraid that the service is not good, and the old ones can't be opened in everyone's room, so it's no wonder that shrewd people like Li Da will be embarrassed.
Yu also took this into account. In addition, the Jing'an official residence does not dare to make a little disturbance, and the garrison of the presidential palace has not been withdrawn. Who knows whether the people who buy it from outside will be friends or foes in the future, and whether they are reliable or unreliable. She looked around. Needless to say, Li Chengxu's upper room can't move a person, they are all old servants in the family, and Li Chengxu usually doesn't call them, and he doesn't dare to call them if he changes them. By his side and Li Lanfeng, after the big girl Taohong got married, she didn't choose anyone to come in, only Caizhu Huai'an and Na Lin were waiting by their side, and each of the four children's rooms was a girl and an old mother, and Ji Yuan and Bo Ol had one more errand than Wanchun Zhongqing. Zhong Qing got married and took her girl Cuizhi to Shanghai, Ji Yuan is a naughty person, there are more things in the room and what are less, it has always been the big girl Pinglu who keeps an eye on him, and without Pinglu, he doesn't know what to mess up with. The youngest daughter Wanchun is sick and calamitous, Zhou's mother is old and can't take care of her, only Xiu'er can be considerate.
After thinking about it, Yu himself didn't think of any suitable candidates, so he assigned Na Lin and said: "You go to take care of the eldest young master for a few days, he grew up with me since he was a child, and you have followed me for so many years, and you can be regarded as an adult in front of your eyes, I can rest assured that you do things." ”
"Hey." Narin smiled and agreed.
She is a maid brought by her mother Yu from the Yu family in Jinxi, compared with the colorful beads raised by the roots of Fuzhong, her mother has more trust in Nalin, and Nalin's name was given by her mother after returning from studying abroad, with a little Westerner's foreign style and fashion. Inspired by her mother, Na Lin is exceptionally sharp in her actions and actions, and her character is also first-class, loyal to her superiors and responsible to her subordinates. It's a pity that after she followed her mother to the Li family, in order to serve her mother for a long time, she never married, and she was still an old girl at the age of nearly forty, no matter how persuasive her parents and grandparents were, they couldn't change her decision. After a long time, everyone was moved by her persistence and loyalty, and she went.
During the war earlier, Li Lanfeng was busy fighting wars every day, and the Yu family was busy taking care of the family, and rarely had time to take care of the two brothers and sisters, Bo Ol and Zhong Qing, all of whom were raised by Na Lin. I don't know where she learned the knowledge of a girl who has not been out of the cabinet, Bo Alcohol had smallpox when she was young, and no one dared to touch it, only Na Lin dared, holding him in her arms and feeding him one bite at a time. When she was born in Zhongqing, Yu's milk was insufficient, and Na Lin went around to find a good nurse.
It's just that with the passage of time, Bo Ol and Zhong Qing have grown up day by day, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Li family is full of wealth, and Ji Yuan and Wanchun at the bottom have a golden key to support their lives, but they don't need her care, she has been idle for many years.
At this time, the mistress entrusted her with the task of taking care of her, and she inevitably had a feeling that she was about to be entrusted with a heavy task, and after agreeing, she hurried to the Burol room to see for herself what else she did not like.
Wanchun, Bool, and Ji Yuan also came out and arrived in Wanchun's room.
Pinglu and Xiu'er both know their tastes, and they brew Hainan Xinglong coffee for Ji Yuan and Bo Alcohol, but give Wanchun a red date tea.
The three brothers and sisters sat down with their own things, Bo Ol looked up, and saw that the room was still the same as when he left, so he shook his head and smiled: "Such a dusty house for many years, only the fourth sister is used to living in it, I don't like it very much." ”
Wan Chun also looked at him and said: "I like this house very much, the red windows are matched with white screens, how beautiful it is, it is much better than those things that are not Chinese or Western, and they are not foreign or local." ”
After she finished speaking, Ji Yuan and Bo Ol both laughed, and Bo Ol said: "I haven't seen you for two years, and the fourth sister's conversation has become more and more lean." When I came from the station by car, I saw a lot of fashionable girls in Jiujing going out of the city to play, dressed up very brightly, but their temperament was inferior to that of their four sisters. ”
"Is that so?" Wan Chun held her face in both hands and smiled, "I don't think so." ”
Ji Yuan laughed twice, nodded her forehead and said a naughty word, before he said to Bo Yu: "Big brother, are you really planning to open a school?" I see what grandpa means, I'm afraid it will be difficult to pass. ”
Burnol took a sip of coffee, turned the thin white bone china cup in his hand, and said after a moment: "Now I don't hear any objections, whether my grandfather agrees or disagrees, it can't make me change my decision." ”
Ji Yuan sighed, maybe it was for Bool's persistence, or maybe it was for his grandfather's insistence, but as a brother, he couldn't say a word to Bool, so he had to joke with a smile: "You and the fourth sister are the people I admire the most." In order to study in Japan, you can work hard for three days and three nights without eating. In order to go to medical college, the fourth sister can make the plan deceive her grandfather. ”
"The fourth sister went to medical school?"
Bo Yu was surprised, and hurriedly looked at Wan Chun and said, "What's going on?" When did the medical school start recruiting female students, and how did Grandpa promise you? Tell me more about it. ”
Wan Chun suddenly smiled, and said busily: "It's not as the third brother said, I don't think I deceived my grandfather about going to the medical college, and I don't know what happened to his old man, but it was suddenly opened, but as soon as I said it, he agreed, and even I didn't believe it." ”
"What a joy it is!"
Bo Zhu stroked his palms and laughed: "Fourth sister, you are really extraordinary. Doctors, the good will help the world, and the poor will be good alone, isn't there a female doctor in our family who has a wonderful hand to rejuvenate? ”
"Big brother ......" Wan Chunjiao sneered, she couldn't imagine that Bo Ol was so supportive of her decision, compared to the reaction of her mother and second sister Zhongqing, which really surprised her.
Bo Ol was still excited, listening to her soft whispers, his heart was overjoyed, patted Ji Yuan's shoulder and smiled: "My education and the medicine of the fourth sister are the same truth, but the fourth sister will heal a person's body in the future, and I will heal a person's soul in the future." Third brother, what are you going to do? ”
"I ......" Ji Yuan pointed to his nose, looked at Wan Chun again, and said with a smile after a while, "You two are both characters who help the common people, I am insignificant, it is already great to be able to graduate from the martial arts hall, where do you dare to ask for anything else." ”
"That's a mistake."
Bo Ol shook his head, his eyes gradually became cold, and he said seriously: "Now the whole country is like a stagnant water, which looks calm on the surface, while the underground is turbulent, and sooner or later one day it will be exchanged for a clear spring." Your martial arts hall is a sharp sword, and you must cut through this stagnant water in the future. (To be continued.) )
