He Ying found one thing, not only does she have vanity, but this vanity is quite strong.

The He family is just an ordinary official family, and Yuan Shikai has not really developed in the era when he is very close. So there's no special interaction at home. Her teenage years were spent ordinarily.

In He Ying's view, growing up and marrying is just a continuation of her parents. The only thing that made her happier was that Chen Ke, whom she married, had several glimpses of encounters. Chen Ke was by no means a slender scholar, but a tall, mighty, square-faced man with thick eyebrows and big eyes. In the North, this is the standard of handsomeness. At least He Ying thinks Chen Ke is quite handsome.

When he didn't eat at the foreigner's drinking party, Chen Ke, a handsome young man he had seen before, took the initiative to come up and express his concern. It also explains how to eat. He Ying knew that her aunt He Qian was a woman with a strong personality, so if she didn't eat for three days, she wouldn't show her hunger in front of others. But He Ying was indeed hungry at that time. Chen Ke's frank concern did greatly win He Ying's favor.

After following Chen Ke, life is not good or bad. Rice and white flour can fill the stomach, and multigrain wild vegetables can also quench hunger. The key is that Chen Ke always cares about He Ying. And it's a care based on living together. Life is like this, and in this regard, He Ying is very content with her marriage.

He Ying doesn't care what the revolution will be, what she cares about is whether she can live a good life with Chen Ke. Whether it's drawing, going to school, running around with the team, or taking care of the kids at home. As long as she is with her husband Chen Ke, this is enough. By Chen Ke's side, although He Ying made Chen Ke happy and let herself have something to do by the way, she also learned a lot of things seriously. However, this knowledge and insight is not what He Ying really likes, she actually wants to live with her husband Chen Ke and children. Even if the People's Party's revolution was a great success, He Ying did not feel anything particularly unusual in his heart.

However, this time following Chen Ke back to Beijing, He Ying understood the psychological pleasure that power can bring to women.

In the past few days, she went back to her parents' house to save her relatives, and the He family immediately became crowded. As Chen Ke's wife, and also a wife who gave birth to a child. In the traditional view, He Ying has been given a firm position.

The dignitaries and nobles in the capital naturally know that even if he has the title of a rebel, Chen Ke also has a powerful rebel leader. Murder and arson gold belt, since even Beiyang has no choice but to take the People's Party, Chen Ke has reached some kind of agreement with the foreign devils, which has been recognized by the foreigners. Then Chen Ke is definitely not the object they can offend.

Officials did not dare to visit Chen Ke in person, but it was common to send their wives to meet He Ying. Many dignitaries and dignitaries who had not been in contact with the He family before took turns to visit. Regardless of age and generation, these ladies are polite enough to He Ying, and they all praise He Ying for her "good life" and "married to a good family".

He Ying knew very well that these ladies were not here to praise themselves, their praise was aimed at "Chen Ke's wife". However, being able to marry a husband who impresses other families is a glorious thing in this era. This kind of cheerful vanity feels good. Even He Ying knew that this kind of thinking might not be right, and there was an indescribable jealousy revealed in the praise of those female dependents, but this kind of jealousy that made these dignitaries and dignitaries have to be jealous, so He Ying couldn't help but feel a stronger sense of pleasure.

Those who visit ceremoniously can't come every day, they put down their gifts, say something and leave. Only those who are related to the He family are qualified to stay and speak for a long time. But this is the case with many things, and since these ladies have a strong jealousy in their hearts, some of the more negative things will still appear.

A distant aunt of the He family had a rich expression in her chat, and she looked at her exaggerated appearance full of emotions, she suddenly sighed, "Girl, if your mother is still alive, I don't know how happy I will be to see you marry a good family." ”

As soon as these words came out, the other ladies around immediately discovered the problem. He Ying's mother is still alive. But the distant aunt immediately stopped talking.

"His third aunt, what's going on?" Someone asked.

"Nothing, nothing." The distant third aunt replied in a sly tone peculiar to women. If it's a man, I'm afraid I'll really be deceived. But the house was full of women, and they would never think that there was really nothing.

After all, He Ying has been with Chen Ke for so long, and in terms of knowledge and insight, she is far superior to these ladies in the house. And Chen Ke is also He Ying's "teacher" in a sense. Not only are they teaching scientific knowledge, social knowledge, and revolutionary knowledge, but the husband and wife are also talking about some dark places of human nature. For the performance of others out of jealousy, He Ying can fully understand. And this also confirms another thing, He Ying actually vaguely knew that her current mother was not her biological mother. But she didn't dare to do this kind of thing, and she couldn't verify it, and He Ying's current mother was definitely not bad for He Ying. However, after the third aunt said it, He Ying finally determined that this matter was actually true.

The third aunt obviously didn't maintain too much kindness, and after she gave such a provocative word, she praised Chen Ke for having no parents, and He Ying would not be angry at Chen Ke's house. This is completely inappropriate, He Ying absolutely can't accept that someone says bad things about Chen Ke, let alone say bad things about Chen Ke publicly.

The implication that the parents are not alive is extremely bad. Even if Chen Ke's parents are not good enough for He Qian, it is He Ying's own family business, and it is not the turn of others to intervene in family affairs.

"Third aunt, your heart is too much." He Ying said in the gentler tone possible. In fact, she really wanted to say this in a very vicious tone. But He Ying really hasn't learned how to say some vicious words, she has no experience even if she wants to scold people, so He Ying sank her face, "My daughter is about to take a nap, so please go back first." ”

The ladies never expected He Ying to use such a reason to drive people away, and everyone was stunned.

"My Wenqing is very distressed about my daughter. On weekdays, when I was out marching and fighting, I had to ask my daughter if she had eaten and slept on time when she came back from writing. Our mother and daughter followed Wen Qing back by train, but my daughter didn't sleep well, and she was comforting her to resume her work and rest time these days. Speaking of this, He Ying flashed the watch on her wrist, "It's time, let's go back." ”

In the past few days, He Ying doesn't know how many times she has heard the words "If you give birth to a boy, it would be better", for the female relatives of the official eunuchs, whether they have a son to inherit the family is a big deal. Although this is very reasonable, He Ying feels awkward how she listens to it.

The People's Party has always preached equality between men and women, and Chen Ke has repeatedly publicly spoken of "equality between men and women" and "women can hold up half the sky", not only outside but also at home. And this is not a simple propaganda, the right of women to work, women's independent property rights. These are the basis for guaranteeing the independent status of women. The BJP has been working tirelessly to promote the basic work of women's emancipation.

The People's Party implements property transparency within the Party, and Party members and cadres must disclose their assets. The five thousand taels of silver given to He Ying by He Ying's father, He Ruming, were directly in He Ying's name. The bank passbook was opened by He Ying herself, and Chen Kepingsu's salary was all handed over, and He Ying controlled the vast majority of the family's property. This is not the model of the female master in the capital. Rather, the BJP is guaranteed by the legal situation.

When the husband and wife talked about this, Chen Ke also jokingly said: "If we get divorced, then I will have to leave the house except for a few clothes." He Ying was so angry by these words that she didn't talk to Chen Ke for a day. Chen Ke apologized a lot to make He Ying relieved of the word "divorce".

drove away these female dependents, and He Ying suddenly realized the boredom brought by vanity. Chen Ke is really good to He Ying, this kind of good is not only in the ordinary sense, but also Chen Ke has always believed that He Ying and himself are completely equal in family life. Most of the young cadres of the People's Party in the base areas are not married, but they do not treat He Ying with humility as a "master mother", but treat a revolutionary comrade equally.

When she was with these people, He Ying didn't really feel the preciousness of this equality, and it wasn't until she was "respected" that He Ying found that these people who came to contact her with selfish intentions were more reliable and lovely than those comrades who worked together on an equal footing. So He Ying told her father He Ruming that night that she and her daughter Chen Qianru were "sick" and would not be seen to visit anyone in the future.

He Ruming didn't make a fuss about this, he just nodded, "I'll go to the Ministry of Civil Affairs tomorrow to ask for a leave, and I won't go out on an errand for a few days, so I'll help you block those people at home." ”

He Ying was very grateful for her father's concern, "Dad, I've embarrassed you." ”

He Ruming said with a loving smile: "What do you say? When Wen Qing returns to Anhui, you will definitely have to go back with you. It's so easy to get home. You must not be wronged. ”

He Ying's mother also nodded slightly. He Ying looked at her "mother" and suddenly had the urge to ask her father what happened to her biological mother. But she thought about it, those tongue-chewing ladies originally wanted the He family to make trouble themselves. No matter how his father He Ruming answers, once this matter is clarified, it will be impossible for this originally warm family to return to the way it was before.

This question must never be asked. He Ying made up her mind.

Although He Ruming said that he wanted to ask for leave, he did not come back early the next day as he said before going out. Fortunately, the butler was quite competent, and he received the visiting guests alone, and politely drove them away.

It wasn't until the evening that He Ruming hurried back. As soon as he got home, he pulled He Ying aside. "Girl, I heard a message. The Germans seem to be going to do something to the People's Party. I'm going to investigate more, everyone is talking about noses and eyes, you have to talk to Wen Qing about this matter. ”

"Germans ......, foreigners?" He Ying immediately became alert.

He Ruming replied with a calm face: "Well, it's a foreigner." As far as I heard, the Germans were very dissatisfied with the seizure of the southeastern part of the mountain by Wenqing, and were ready to make a move. It's inconvenient for me to go to see Wen Qing, I'll write a letter about today's events, you can go and bring it to Wen Qing quickly. ”

He Ying knew that the matter was indeed urgent, so she took a carriage to bring He Ruming's letter to Chen Ke that night.

The next day, Yuan Shikai got the report. He Ruming was really fooled, and the Germans' decision to attack the People's Party had been correctly conveyed to Chen Ke. Zhao Bingjun, the minister in charge of the matter, reported to Yuan Shikai in detail on He Ruming's performance, and that the spies found that Chen Ke's wife He Ying rushed to the People's Party's residence "Prince Yi's Mansion" that night.

"President, Chen Ke thought that he could join forces with these foreigners, but now that he thinks about it, he already knows that he is powerful." Zhao Bingjun is very proud of this.

Yuan Shikai did not answer, he originally thought that it might be better to let Chen Ke be caught off guard by the Germans. But if you think about it carefully, Chen Ke is the age of blood and strength after all, and if he is raided by the Germans, Chen Ke may be desperate.

If Chen Ke gets the news in advance, Chen Ke will at least have a mustard in his heart when he goes to negotiate again. At that time, he would never have had the momentum he has now. The practices of Britain and France Yuan Shikai are very clear, as long as Chen Ke is timid, Britain and France will immediately follow up and exert pressure, how is Chen Ke going to deal with it at that time?

Thinking of this, Yuan Shikai said to Zhao Bingjun: "This matter is well done. But let's not do anything about it, we'll wait and see. ”
