Chapter XXIV Declarations

Holding the newspaper in his hand into a ball, Wan Chun brushed his thoughts, at this time he was already frowning, and he didn't have the time to confront Zhao Chunmei and Feng Yuzhang clearly, the first thing to do was to prevent the school flower contest from changing hands.

His eyes were glued to the ceiling, and the more anxious Wan Chun became, the more she couldn't think of a way.

Li Hui saw that she didn't speak for a long time, because she thought that she was originally from the third young master's side, and without the permission of the third young master, she went on a few errands for the fourth young lady in private. secretly raised his feet, and when everyone was silent, he turned his head and walked away.

Xiu'er saw it in the wrong eye and understood his difficulties, so she just couldn't see it and let him go. He poured a cup of tea himself, handed it to Wan Chun and said with a smile: "Don't think about it, for that school flower competition, I sprained my foot, not to mention, I am still tired of so much now, why bother?" Since the third young master has an idea, you can handle it by the third young master. ”

Wanchun was very upset, took the tea but didn't drink it, just held it in the palm of her hand and rubbed it. After Xiu'er finished speaking, she sneered and said, "If the third brother really handles this matter with full authority, I'm afraid that I won't have to see Jingyu in the future." ”

Xiu'er stuck out her tongue, she didn't think that Miss Liu and Miss Liu had a deep friendship before, and this time she saw Wanchun's efforts to maintain Jingyu, and knew that she couldn't joke about the school flower contest anymore, so she hurriedly flashed out of the house by changing the water for Wanchun's rubber hot water bottle.

As soon as she left, the room fell silent. Wan Chun was unable to move one leg, so he curled up the other leg and pressed it against his chin, quietly contemplating.

Just now Li Hui said that Ji Yuan had already gone to find Young Master Liu, the news was published in silence, and Ji Yuan's visit to the Liu Mansion was nothing more than reconfirmation. What she would do after it was confirmed, she didn't know.

It was an accident at the presidential palace, Wan Chun thought that Zhang Jingtong was not dissatisfied with himself that day, although he didn't know what they meant by asking the newspaper to issue an unfair statement, but the starting point was always harmless.

What to do...... What to do......

Wan Chun put her head against her knees, and gently shook her body back and forth, very sad. The newspaper she held in a ball was lying under her feet, densely stamped with lead letters. Wanchun just stared at it in a daze, after a long time, her eyes couldn't help but be sour, looking at the word big for a while and small for a while, as if she was magical.

She could see that she was smiling and rubbing her eyes, and scolded herself for being stupid. Like the Liu Mansion in the Presidential Palace, the Jing'an Mansion also has its own news agency, although she can't agree with Ji Yuan's statement that the school flower contest has changed hands, but she can borrow the method of Zhao Chunmei and Feng Yuzhang to publish in the newspaper a certificate that she abstained from the school flower contest due to a foot injury.

In this way, wouldn't the school flower contest be over?

Thinking like this, Wanchun couldn't help but call Xiu'er and asked, "Who is in charge of our family's news agency?" And thou hast brought him for me, and said that I have something to ask him. ”

Xiu'er stopped and thought about it, in recent years, due to the popularity of gramophone and radio, most of the people in the old Beijing have lost the habit of reading newspapers, and the news agencies of various mansions have not been abolished just because they follow the old rules. In the past two days, people have been puzzled, why have all the news agencies been used?

But since Wanchun had given the order, it was inconvenient for her to ask more questions as a subordinate, so she went out to find a messenger, asked him to go to the news agency, and called Mr. Zhang, the person in charge of the news agency.

Mr. Zhang has always been running errands outside, and he also serves as a bookkeeper, Ji Yuan will occasionally come to him to transfer some money to make up for his shortfall, and the two of them know each other well. And Wan Chun's monthly money is paid directly through the Yu family in the upper room, and it is usually not as big as Ji Yuan's, and the two of them have never met.

At this moment, Mr. Zhang was only surprised when he heard that the fourth lady was looking for him, and followed the messenger to the outside of Wanchun's house, and stood under the window to avoid it, and replied a few words inside.

Wan Chun carefully explained what he was going to say, and said to him: "I don't want to participate in the school flower competition, and I'm afraid that if I publish a waiver from us, others will misunderstand that I am Sima Zhao's heart, so after your manuscript is written, don't send it out from the Jing'an Residence, if you have someone familiar with the "Beijing Daily", please please trouble you to hand over the manuscript to him and publish it in his name." ”

Mr. Zhang nodded, he didn't seem to understand, and vaguely remembered that the third young master had also looked for him once in the morning for the school flower competition, but he regretted it halfway through. Now that the fourth miss mentioned it again, he couldn't help muttering in his heart, but the school flower contest was only a school flower competition, and Yu Jing'an's official residence didn't have much to do with it, since the fourth miss declared that he would not participate, he had to do it.

After finishing the reported work, Wanchun only felt tired, not physically tired, but mentally tired.

I thought that the title of Miss Li Jiasi would bring endless wealth and glory, but unexpectedly, there were so many bends behind the glory that she needed to deal with.

After resting for a while according to her forehead, Xiu'er didn't know where she went, and there was no shadow of anyone in front of her. Wan Chun said so many words, and then she felt thirsty, and hated that she couldn't move freely at all, so she had to raise her voice in bed to call someone.

After a sentence, I heard a movement outside the door, and Wan Chun vaguely saw a few figures walking into the courtyard through the white screen window. The leader was the girl Xiu'er in her room, and two women in long skirts followed closely behind her, not looking like their mother and Nalin.

Wan Chun frowned, who would come to her at this time?

Just as she was puzzled, the door of the room had been opened, and Xiu'er came in to see her sitting on the bed, and couldn't help laughing: "I was worried that you would disturb you when you fell asleep, but it turned out that you didn't sleep." Coincidentally, the sixth lady of the presidential palace and the second lady of the Zhao Mansion knew about the young lady's sprained foot, so they came to see you together. ”

As she spoke, Zhao Chunmei and Zhang Manyi, who were behind her, walked in together, greeted Wanchun with a smile: "Miss Li, is your foot injury better?" ”

Wan Chun thought about it for a long time, but she didn't expect it to be these two people coming, so she turned her head and glared at Xiu'er coldly. Xiu'er made her heart tremble, and she didn't know where she offended her, so she brought two cups of tea, and stood beside Wanchun's bed with her hands hanging down silently.

Wanchun knew that she couldn't ask Xiu'er what was going on at this time, so she had to look back with a smile on her face and said, "I didn't expect Miss Zhao and Miss Zhang to come over together, forgive me for the inconsiderate hospitality, please sit down." ”

Li Wanchun's grandmother, because she liked the layout of the boudoir, did not ask someone to replace the bed, table and chairs in the house, but laid out a layer of Indian woven wool carpet, pulled wires from the front yard, and replaced the candlesticks with a few wall lamps. Zhang Manyi and Zhao Chun looked around happily, but they didn't find any sofas, chairs and other things, so Xiu'er hurriedly carried two rattan embroidery piers, covered with embroidered handkerchiefs, and waited for them to sit down.

Zhang Manyi grew up in the Presidential Palace since childhood, and his father Zhang Zuoling was originally the overseer of the three northeastern provinces, and had some friendship with the envoys of the Oriental, American and other countries, so after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the table, chair, grass and trees in the presidential palace have inherited the architectural style of the United States to some extent, and the smell of the West is full. Therefore, she was very envious of Wanchun's antique boudoir, and while looking around, she said with a smile: "We originally planned to visit you again tomorrow, but because the humanities college where Sister Chunmei is located will open tomorrow, we made a decision in a hurry to come over and take a look at the fourth lady's injury." As he spoke, he saw the pair of beauties standing on the carved lacquer case shrugging their shoulders, and couldn't help but praise in their mouths, "Your house is really beautiful, even if you change to a fairy, you can live in it." ”

"Miss Six." Wan Chun smiled indifferently, but his eyes chased straight to Zhao Chunmei and said, "These are all old things left over from the previous dynasty, and I don't have much credit for them, since the two of you are very busy, there is no need to come here, the doctor has already said that my foot injury will be recuperated for a few days, it is not a big problem." ”

Zhao Chunmei listened to her words, as if she was not as welcoming as she said about the visit of herself and Miss Six, so she coughed lightly and laughed: "Anyway, the current owner of this house is Miss Fourth after all, and it is too late for others to envy you." With that, she got up, and suddenly reached out and touched Wanchun's ankle and said, "I saw the fourth lady suddenly leave the field at the school flower contest that day, I must have been seriously injured, right?" Although the Western medicine in the Liu Mansion is very convincing, if the fourth lady does not dislike it, we also have a family doctor in the house who specializes in surgery, and he is very good at treating bruises, so it is good to ask him to come to the house to treat the fourth lady. ”

Wanchun was taken aback by this surprise attack, and when she came back to her senses, she realized that Zhao Chunmei's rash visit was just to confirm the extent of her injuries, and it must have been the two statements from the Liu Mansion and the Presidential Palace in the morning that stimulated her, so she made this decision.

It really made her work in vain, if she was willing to wait patiently, she should have seen her abstention statement tomorrow, and there was no need to come to Jing'an Mansion today to find out the truth.

However, it was a coincidence that she was worried that the abstention statement would cause Ji Yuan's temper to be short-tempered, and now that Zhao Chunmei was willing to send it to the door, she might as well venturize and ask her to be a scapegoat for herself. In this way, he simply responded to Zhao Chunmei's words, and replied with a smile on his face: "That's really good, I complained that this foot injury is too slow, since your mansion has such talents, you have to trouble him to come here, no matter how much it costs, we will pay it truthfully." ”

"Why should Mies Lee be so polite."

Zhao Chunmei saw that half of her goal was easily achieved, and she smiled and said: "The monthly expenses prescribed to these doctors in our house are enough for them to have no worries about food and clothing, and they don't need to be funded by your mansion, so I will call him to come and show the fourth lady tomorrow." ”
