Chapter 58: Returning Home
As he spoke, he was going to bring Ji Yuan face wash again.
Wan Chun saw that her hands were almost not enough, and she didn't know Ji Yuan's temper, so she said: "Why are you busy like this, there are old mothers in the room, why don't you ask them to do it?" ”
Pinglu took the brass basin in his hand and said with a smile: "Where can I move them, one or two of them have passed the third master when they were young, and their waists are very stiff, and they almost don't become half of the masters in this house." Besides, having said that, this young master is also a difficult master to serve, and he always calls me because they are slow. ”
Ji Yuan listened to her complain, grinning and just laughing. He woke up from a hangover, his head was still drowsy, and he felt tired from standing and buttoning the buttons, so he had to pull the hem of his robe, lie down on the sofa, and smiled at Wan Chun: "Did you also hear the news that the eldest brother is back?" ”
Wan Chun said: "Exactly, there are shouts inside and outside the house, how can you not know?" That's why I found you and asked if you want to go out to meet your eldest brother. ”
Ji Yuan said: "It's natural to greet him, but the train he took back to China only entered the station, and it will be an hour before he comes back." What I'm going to ask you is not about the big brother, but about the school flower competition. ”
"School Flower Contest?" Wan Chun saw that the chair opposite him was empty, with a layer of royal blue satin cushions on it, so he walked over and sat down, "I have made it very clear to you, I want you to discuss moving it back for half a month before holding it, what, is it not going to work?" ”
"How could it not work?"
Ji Yuan laughed, stretched out two fingers against the corners of his forehead, and gently rubbed them in circles around his temples. But he's used to pleasure after all. After only rubbing it twice, he didn't move, and asked Xiu'er to come over and massage him. But he laughed and said, "I just thought I drank too much alcohol last night, which caused a mistake in my hearing." If I'm not mistaken. Fourth sister, you are very cold about the school flower competition, why did you become interested yesterday? ”
Wanchun's palms were propped up on both sides of her body, and she was pressing on the soft cushion, vague and floating, and there was no place to focus, her words couldn't help but float, and she said with a chuckle: "As Young Master Fan said, the school flower contest is not a shameful thing, and I sprained my foot in the competition that time." It's a shame. If I have the opportunity to do it all over again, why wouldn't I? ”
She was willing to do it, Ji Yuan naturally welcomed it, and immediately clapped her hands twice and smiled: "If you really think so, brother, I will definitely do my best to handle this matter." When he said that, he imagined that Wanchun won the championship, and laughed again, "They all say that the eldest lady of the Nanlin family is a unique beauty in the world, in my opinion." My sister is also a stunning character, and if I am lucky enough to meet in the future, it will be really amazing. ”
Xiu'er rubbed it for so long, and it had dissipated a lot of his headache. At this time, when he heard this, he joked above his head and said: "The beauty of our fourth young lady is praised even by the old lady, I think in the future, even if I meet the eldest lady of the Nanlin family." The loser will never be Miss Four's. "Hold your head high, that smug look as if it was you who won the championship.
Wan Chun looked funny. She has another indescribable mind about the school flower competition, but she doesn't want everyone to spin on this topic. Seeing Pinglu come in with washing water, he said to Xiu'er: "Don't patronize and talk, you can also move and wait for the third master to wash." ”
When Ji Yuan heard this, he waved his hand hurriedly, and then stood up and said, "For those who don't dare to work their sister, it is enough to have Pinglu." ”
Pinglu smiled quietly beside her, twisted a handful of hot hand towels and handed it to Ji Yuan, but a long round face said to Xiu'er: "You don't come over quickly, you don't want to cherish the opportunity, and you are in a hurry to be courteous after carrying someone." ”
The jokes they made in the world, Su Xi was clueless, Wanchun and Ji Yuan didn't understand much, but Xiu'er understood it very well, and her mouth was laughing and spitting: "I take the money to serve the fourth lady, and you take the money to serve the third master, or, you give me your money, and I will take your task to serve the third master; Or, you do your thing seriously, where are you talking so much. ”
Xiu'er's hometown is in Xiangtan, and when she came to the old Beijing, she still spoke with the accent of Xiangtan, mixed with Beijing flavor, not as pungent as Pinglu and Cuizhi, and there was a different charm as soon as she spoke. Ji Yuan liked to listen to her very much, and when he saw the two of them arguing, he didn't have the temper of the young master at all, and he smiled and persuaded in the middle: "Speak well, don't quarrel." In the daughter's house, the word gentle is the most popular. ”
Xiu'er heard him say gentle, and her face couldn't help but turn red, but when he was saying that he was not gentle, she hurriedly stood behind Wanchun's chair, pushed Wanchun's shoulder and said, "Talk, don't we go out to pick up the uncle?" ”
Wan Chun saw that she was shy, and her face was also happy. Strictly speaking, Xiu'er's temper and appearance are already top-notch among girls of the same age, except for her bad background, she can hardly find any thorns, Ji Yuanai jokes with her, and it is precisely because of her poor face that it is not necessarily the love between men and women. But in the courtyard of the deep house, it is also a blessing to have someone who is willing to love her, so he also smiled and said: "Didn't you hear what the third master said, it will take an hour for the uncle to come back, and if you are in such a hurry, you can't pick up anyone, isn't it good for us to sit and chat with the third master?" ”
"What's wrong?" Pinglu splashed her face and came back, still smiling, and said while drying off the water droplets on her hands, "Who doesn't know that among the people in our house, the eldest and third masters like to chat with her the most?" She has been with Miss Fourth for a long time, and she is half a literati, not necessarily literate, but she understands more than anyone else. ”
"Oh?"
Wan Chun looked back at Xiu'er and asked intuitively, "Did Uncle know you before?" ”
Xiu'er was completely ashamed now, her ears were hot, she lowered her head and just pulled her clothes and didn't speak. Ji Yuan saw Wan Chun's strange question, so he said: "Fool, when my eldest brother didn't go to Japan to study, you and him were much more intimate than me." The people in his room, the people in your room, don't go back and forth three or four times a day, and Xiu'er is the one you take with you most often, how can the eldest brother not be familiar with it? ”
This is strange, Wanchun thought silently. According to Xiu'er, the eldest brother is seven or eight years older than her, and she thinks that the eldest brother is between herself. There should be a barrier, but I don't know it's so intimate. So when we meet later, what do you want her to say?
Then. Ji Yuan's messenger Li Hui walked in, saw that his brothers and sisters were there, and said with a smile as soon as he bowed: "Third master, fourth miss, don't sit in the house, the old gentleman has come back from the political hall, and Mr. and Mrs. have sent someone to call the third master and the fourth lady to go to the front hall to talk." ”
Li Chengxu's schedule from Monday to Friday is very punctual, and he will come back this time, so he doesn't have to think about it. Naturally, it's for Lieberol's business. Wanchun and Ji Yuan got up and took Xiu'er and Pinglu to the front hall together.
Before I reached the door, I could hear the voices inside through the bright red straight window.
It was his mother Yu's voice, sharp and angry: "The older he gets, the more he doesn't take us as old people in his eyes, and he always insists on going his own way." Dad, you can't get used to him like this anymore. ”
Grandfather Li Chengxu coughed twice, he has not been in good health for nearly a year, and now he has suffered from a cold in late autumn. Half of the year I have a non-stop cough. However, the cough of others is just a cough, and there is nothing else, but my grandfather's cough is very different.
He couldn't refute his daughter-in-law's face. Because she will always represent the Jinxi Yu family in this mansion, she can't just let her daughter-in-law keep nagging, so she can only cough. so that she can listen to the thunder in a silent place.
Sure enough, Yu stopped talking. His father, Li Lanfeng, said: "It is not necessarily a good thing for Bool to return to China, nor is it necessarily a bad thing. It's all about how we arranged him. He studied economics, and my Admiralty was afraid that there would be no suitable position for him, otherwise my father would transfer him to the Ministry of Finance, which would be useful for his studies. ”
When Wanchun heard this, she realized that her grandfather was discussing her eldest brother's rash return to China and his future. Ji Yuan also listened completely, and muttered a few words to Wan Chun with a wink outside the window, but it was just that the eldest brother was going to have trouble this time.
Wan Chun smiled secretly, motioned to the servant woman standing under the eaves of the porch to open the curtain, and entered the door with Ji Yuan. Grandfather sat on the Taishi chair where he often sits, and didn't say anything when he saw them coming, but his mother Yu's face was still a little angry, only his father asked them a few words about their homework. This house has recently been under the surveillance of the presidential palace, and everyone's heart seems to have grown a weed, and the heartstrings are tugging at every now and then, and it is always not calm, so there is very little time for family members to sit and talk to each other.
At this time, Li Lanfeng asked, Wan Chun and Ji Yuan had to report everything they had learned around them, the father and son talked, and slowly survived many hours, just when Li Lanfeng was about to ask Wan Chun if he had learned anesthesia, Li Da had already bowed outside the curtain and shouted: "I'm going to pick up the uncle's car and come back." ”
Wan Chun hurriedly stood up, Li Lanfeng looked at her very solemn appearance, then sat down and said with a smile: "When Bo Ol comes back, he will definitely come to the front hall to see us, you don't have to go out, just wait here." ”
Wanchun nodded, but still standing. She didn't know what Burol looked like, and she didn't know how he would treat her, she just felt that her eldest brother was like a father, so she shouldn't go wrong with the way she treated her father.
As he thought about it, the curtain hanging on the door of the antechamber had been lifted, and in the direction of the light, he saw a tall man bow his head slightly and stride in. He wore a very new blazer, and on top of the coat was a navy blue tweed cardigan with a structured stand-up collar that reached down to his chin. Underneath was a pair of new suit trousers, shiny leather shoes, neatly dressed not like a man who had come back from the dust.
