When Wan Chun and Ji Yuan heard the sound, they hurriedly stood up, bowed slightly to the person who came, and shouted, "Father." ”

Li Lanfeng stepped in and smiled and waved his hand, motioning for their brother and sister to sit down. He has been busy with some things in the yamen these days, and today he finally has time to go home and rest for half a day, and as soon as he arrived at the door, he heard their mother and son talking inside, so he interjected a sentence outside.

At this time, he sat down next to Yu at random, and asked Wanchun first: "Are you going to report today?" ”

Wan Chun replied with a smile, Li Lanfeng nodded approvingly a few times, Fang turned his head and asked Yu: "What were you talking about just now, how did you talk about comfort?" ”

Yu Shi saw that he had the posture of asking for guilt, so he smiled and said: "Who said anything more, you will be on the platform as soon as you come." It's just that Zhongqing sent a letter from Shanghai, because our uncle asked him to ask Ji Yuan about Ji Yuan's situation in the letter and persuaded us to find a clerical job for Ji Yuan, so I said that he should take a few hundred yuan a month and live a comfortable life. ”

"A few hundred dollars in pocket money? Ha! ”

Li Lanfeng sneered, shook the cigar in his hand, knocked it on the glass ashtray, and said disdainfully: "Madam, don't say this kind of thing that makes people laugh and lose your teeth, you also go out to inquire, now that the economy is in such a recession, whose salary can be worth a few hundred yuan a month?" What's more, it's still a spare spend, so are you planning to add some more money to him and do serious things? If you want to live a comfortable life, firstly, you have to have that comfortable mind, and secondly, it depends on the current situation. ”

As he spoke, he took a hard drag on his cigar.

Ji Yuan has always been in awe of his father, listening to him criticize himself as incomplete and worthless, only silent, but he will never dare to disobey.

However, Yu and Li Lanfeng have been married for many years, and when they saw him smoking, they knew that he was in a difficult situation, so they vented their anger on these unwarranted little things, and it was difficult for them to refute his words, so they asked with a smile in his voice: "We almost don't go out of the door at home, and we don't step out of the second door, what can we know?" Why, isn't the situation good enough today? ”

Li Lanfeng shook his head, he originally didn't want to bring official business home, but this time the problem was really tricky, the people in the yamen were unpredictable, and he didn't know who to discuss. Since Yu asked, he said: "I only say this at home, and the current situation is very bad." Have you heard, ma'am? The Japanese want to cut off the land of our three northeastern provinces. ”

"Cut the three northeastern provinces?" Even though Yu has not been involved in politics for many years, he was also taken aback when he heard this.

Everyone knows that today's presidential palace was established by Zhang Zuoling from the uprising of the three northeastern provinces, where the elite forces of Zhang Valve's old department are still stationed, and they always control the military movements of the nine provinces and eighteen districts. The more famous Flying Eagle troops at home and abroad can cross the Yalu River as far as possible to aid North Korea to resist the United States, and they can go straight to the Forbidden City and sacrifice their lives to protect the commander.

The Japanese are really whimsical, and they dare to open their mouths to divide the three northeastern provinces, no wonder Li Lanfeng is so angry.

After thinking about it in his heart, Yu Shi said again: "Isn't Japan already friendly to us, how can it kill the horse gun at this time and want to start the three northeastern provinces?" ”

Li Lanfeng said coldly: "People's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants!" They are only a small place in Japan, and looking at our vast land and resources, where is there no greed? What's more, in order to establish a new policy/power, we fought with the people of the previous dynasty many times, and we have already lost most of our energy, and now all departments are still in a period of recuperation. If nothing else, even our navy yamen cannot say that we can board ships and set off immediately in the event of a war. Speaking of this, he was probably really trapped here, so he sighed and continued, "That's why Japan dares to come to blackmail without fear." ”

"So, give it to them like that?"

Ji Yuan asked first, he was from a military background, of course he knew the important relationship here, and his expression couldn't help but become nervous. With his elbows propped up on the armrests of the sofa, he just stretched his neck and looked straight at Li Lanfeng.

Li Lanfeng's sword eyebrows were raised, and he snorted coldly in his nose, but said, "How can it be given to them?" Not to mention the three provinces in the Northeast, even if it is a grass or a stone in the Northeast, it is impossible for us to let them get involved in half a point! ”

Ji Yuan said again: "If you don't give it to them, you can only solve it by fighting, right?" ”

"Having said that, it is best if this matter can be reconciled, and if it cannot be reconciled, there must be war imminent." Li Lanfeng spat out a cloud of smoke and was silent for a long time before turning his head to look at Ji Yuandao, "I heard that the students of your martial arts hall are very unprofessional, and they don't even touch the barrel of a gun, right?" ”

Ji Yuan's expression was stunned, and he shrank his head and said, "Where did my father hear nonsense, my marksmanship is very good." ”

"Really?" Li Lanfeng sneered, seeing that he was wearing fashionable Western-style clothes, abandoning his personality, just looking at his appearance, he was just a little boy of Sven's lineage, where did he have the courage to gallop on the battlefield at the beginning? Such people are put on the battlefield, let alone fighting, marching is a problem.

So the worry in my heart couldn't help but get heavier, so I simply smoked and stopped talking.

He didn't speak, and the Yu family didn't want to talk anymore, and Ji Yuan and Wanchun didn't know what to say, and the room was quiet for a moment.

Na Lin and Cai Zhu Xiu'er stood beside them, and seeing that they were in a stalemate, Na Lin's eyes moved, pretending to be inadvertent, and shouted twice outside the door: "What did you just say, are you going to eat?" Okay, tell the big kitchen, Mr. and Mrs. and the third young master and the fourth lady are all eating in the front hall, and tell them to bring all the food. ”

After speaking, he didn't hear anyone answer outside, so he walked back and smiled at Yu: "Madam, the people outside said that it was time to eat." ”

Yu Shi was also about to order the meal to be set up, so as to divert everyone's attention, and when he saw that Na Lin had said something in front of him, he smiled at her appreciatively, and said to Li Lanfeng and Ji Yuanwanchun's brothers and sisters: "Let's eat first, and we will talk about big things when we are full." ”

Li Lanfeng was full of sorrow, and there was no way to solve it for a while, so in desperation, he got up with the Yu family and went to the front hall. Ji Yuan and Wan Chun gestured to each other, got up busily, and went to eat with them, swallowing the matter of Japan's desire to divide the three northeastern provinces into their stomachs, and did not dare to mention it again.

Ji Yuan didn't go out that night, followed Zhao Guodong and them to mess around, and nested in Wanchun's room to watch her reply to Zhongqing.

Wan Chun had never met this sister before, and she didn't know what her temperament was, so she inquired from Ji Yuan while writing. learned that Zhongqing's temper was eight points similar to that of his mother Yu, and he was just as happy when he did things, and even his brother-in-law Tan Rulin was three points inferior to her when he was proud.

Wan Chun had some eyebrows in her heart after hearing this, and a letter from home was also written with deep sisterhood. Ji Yuan was afraid of trouble, and after seeing her finish writing, Ji Yuan took the pen and chatted a few words at the end of her letter, thanking Zhongqing and his wife for their kindness in persuading him to enter politics.

After the two of them finished their work, they saw that it was already midnight on the wall clock, and Wanchun had to go to the academy tomorrow to register for classes, so she couldn't continue to stay up, so Ji Yuan smiled and told her a few words, and then went back to her room and rested.

The next day, when Wanchun just got up, Xiu'er came to get her clothes, rummaged through the cupboard, and didn't find the short shirt with flowers on a white background that she wore yesterday, so she turned her back and asked her, "What about the clothes you changed into yesterday?" I've only been wearing it for a long time, so there's no need to wash it, so I'm still wearing that today. ”

Wan Chun blinked, the dress had already been stuffed into the box by her, and she was going to take it out at this time, according to Xiu'er's temper to the end, she would definitely have to ask clearly, it was better not to take it out, so she shook her head and said: "I only wore it yesterday, and it would be embarrassing to go out again today, let's change it." I see that dark green shirt with bean green silk under your hand is good, so wear it today. ”

When Xiu'er heard this, she had to take the dress she said from the cabinet and change it for her.

In the small kitchen, the rice porridge was boiled on the fifth watch, and it was carried by Zhou's mother into the Wanchun room. Wan Chun ate a few bites, remembering that he still had to use the rickshaw to go to the academy today, and Xiao Deng, who pulled the rickshaw, was most familiar with what happened yesterday. So he put the white porcelain spoon in the porridge bowl, and under the pretext that he had accumulated food yesterday, he was a little indigestible, and he couldn't eat so much, so he took his schoolbag and went out, trying to find Xiao Deng to hide the car accident.

Who knew that outside the gate, Xiao Deng was already sitting on the rickshaw with his feet crossed, looking at the world and waiting. Wan Chun took two quick steps, patted him on the shoulder and smiled: "You are really early, I thought I would wait for you here." ”

Xiao Deng Zheng wandered out of the world, asked her to come back to her senses, and hurriedly jumped off the yellow envelope lane: "Is this still early?" When we were in the army, we had to get up and run on the third watch, but now that we have left the army, we are much lazy in terms of work and rest. With that, he lowered the bar and let Wanchun get into the car.

Wan Chun watched him pull the car and asked him how much it cost to repair the car. Xiao Deng said that he had repaired a car handle for two yuan, so Wan Chun took out two yuan from his bag and handed it to him, laughing that he had reimbursed him for the expense, and said that he didn't have to report to the Jing'an Mansion.

Xiao Deng originally planned to be scolded, after all, he was pulling the young lady of the Secretary of State's family, no matter what happened, it was a big deal for him. didn't think Wanchun was so good-tempered, not only did he not tell his family, but he asked him not to be public, so he got off the donkey down the slope, and put yesterday's incident in his heart as soon as he closed his mouth.

According to the admission instructions, the morning class of the medical school was registered on time at seven o'clock, and Xiao Deng calculated the time and pulled Wanchun to the school gate just before seven o'clock.

Wan Chun looked around in the car, and saw that not far from him, a few rickshaws were sparsely parked, and they had just sent the students over. In one of the cars was sitting a girl who seemed to be about the same age as herself, holding a Ruyi bun, wearing a set of lake blue dresses, rolling around her body with thin braids, simple and pleasant, vaguely similar to Zhou Xiang's figure.

She got out of the car, beckoned to the man and smiled, "Miss Zhou, we're meeting again." ”
