After the funeral was over, Zhang Jiaguang seemed to really realize that his mother was leaving, and he looked at his mother's photos alone in the study and shed tears.

Since he was young, he has been studying everywhere, and after returning to China, he has been working outside, only returning to Baoshan to visit his mother during the New Year's Festival, and he has a small family, and he rarely thinks of his mother.

There are many children in the family, and when he was a child, his mother's love was distributed to everyone, and there was not much left, but he looked like his mother, and his mother always caressed the top of his head, and then went to take care of the housework that could never be finished.

Now that his mother is gone, he has not left a word, which caught him off guard. Looking back, it seems that I haven't done anything to honor my mother, and I always feel that there will be many opportunities in the future. He lay on his desk, crying like a child, and no one touched the top of his head.

Shen Mengxi came to the fourth brother's house, and the fourth sister-in-law pointed to the study with her finger and signaled that someone was inside.

Shen Mengxi knocked on the door, heard the answer, and pushed the door in.

As soon as the brother and sister met, they couldn't help crying, and both of them had the same round faces as Zhang's mother.

"Mother really said to leave, didn't leave a word, a few days ago, I didn't know what I was busy with, it turned out, I was busy with my mother's funeral......"

Probably everyone who has experienced the sudden death of a loved one will have this feeling: it takes a few days to be quiet before they can truly accept the reality of losing their loved ones. Those were the hardest days.

"My mother usually has no root disease, and when I was decorating, I saw that her lips were purple, which should be a myocardial infarction." Shen Mengxi is still struggling with this matter, she doesn't have much affection for Zhang's mother, and she doesn't like her patriarchy, but people are emotional animals, and she has been a mother, she can always feel that Zhang's mother loves her daughter in her own way, and people die greatly, and people will always remember her good when they pass away.

"Then you can't say that about the third brother, at most, he usually doesn't take good care of him, making it seem like he deliberately murdered his mother, and you will hurt the feelings of your brother and sister." Zhang Jiaxuan persuaded bitterly.

"Father is also covering up, sooner or later I will find out everything!"

"What to check! The death of his mother was an accident, and the third brother was sad enough. Don't just because he said you in a hurry, he has been haunted by it, brothers and sisters for many years, why can't he stand this little thing! Zhang Jiaxuan pressed Shen Mengxi to the chair.

Shen Mengxi reluctantly agreed, her sixth sense told her that things are definitely not so simple, Zhang Jiaheng's expression and performance are too abnormal, it is not a simple inability to heal her mother's pain, but also mixed with some other emotions, Shen Mengxi guarantees with many years of life experience, there is definitely a problem. It's just that there is no evidence, and there is no way to start.

After experiencing too many life and death partings, Shen Mengxi understands that people will eventually die, and there may be people like her who will be reborn with their souls, but the grievances and hatreds between the physical body and this life will always be severed.

She is not very entangled anymore, Zhang Jiaxuan is not obsessed anymore, she is a later one, there is no reason not to let go.

Zhang Jiaxuan patted Shen Mengxi's shoulder, "Mother just has limitations in her thinking, she doesn't want you to remarry, she is thinking about the reputation of the Zhang family, but she doesn't love you." ”

"Heh, it's nothing, I haven't thought about getting married anyway." Shen Mengxi smiled nonchalantly.

"Don't talk nonsense, you're still young, and you still have to go one step further when you meet the right one." Zhang Jiaxuan couldn't help but think of her sister's eyes when she looked at Wang Shouqing.

"yes, got it." Shen Mengxi perfunctorily agreed.

******

At the end of the year, Zhang Jiaguang was promoted to General Manager of Bank of China.

Zhang Jiaxuan, who had just removed the black arm veil after wearing a hundred days of filial piety, did not hold a drinking party and quietly took office.

In the new year, Shen Mengxi followed President Zhang and others to Northeastern University for inspection and exchange, she could have gone or not, the school was mainly aimed at the emerging discipline of architecture, she was a German professor, and she couldn't beat it, but President Zhang knew that there was a female professor in Northeastern University, so he wanted to take the female professor of Guanghua out to show off.

Shen Mengxi also wanted to go back to the Northeast once, anyway, it was a holiday, Ah Huan returned to Kipshi, and agreed to go with him.

Shen Mengxi's preparations were very sufficient, and when he arrived at the Fengtian Railway Station, the reception staff of Northeastern University saw a woman wearing a mink hat, a long mink coat, and long leather boots, who got off the train behind several men, took a deep breath of cold air, spit out a cloud of white mist, and smiled happily, as if she remembered something happy.

"Professor Zhang likes Mukden?" Director Li at the reception desk asked Principal Zhang to board the bus that drove to the platform, and did not forget to take care of the only woman in the group of four.

"Hmm!" Shen Mengxi happily replied, "I still want to go to Harbin to see if I have a chance!" ”

Shen Mengxi stepped on the snow a few times, making a creaking sound, before getting into the car behind.

The car drove to Northeastern University, Shen Mengxi suddenly saw two Japanese people wearing kimonos on the street, she was taken aback, and hurriedly asked the reception staff: "How can there be Japanese?" ”

"It's been a long time coming, they're here to do business." The receptionist smiled and said, "Not only in Shanghai, but also in Fengtian, and even more in Harbin!" ”

Shen Mengxi's good mood disappeared all of a sudden. She remembered the non-resistance general.

When she arrived at the school, Shen Mengxi was surprised to find that the non-resistance general she had just muttered about was actually the president of Northeastern University!

She was embarrassed, this time, she was here for decoration, there was no place for her to speak, she just learned about architecture-related knowledge, and did not find out when Northeastern University had changed its president.

As the president, Zhang Hanqing personally greeted the four-member delegation of Guanghua University at the school gate and held a banquet to welcome him that night.

Lin Huiya and his wife also attended the banquet, and when they saw Shen Mengxi, Lin Huiya was slightly surprised, and then shook hands with her very decently to welcome. The banquet hall was fully heated, Shen Mengxi and Lin Huiya were both wearing dresses and stockings, and Lin Huiya's thin ankles set off Shen Mengxi's ankles thick and fleshy. Shen Mengxi lamented that the beauty billet was indeed true.

During the Republican period, when the ban on foot binding was issued, men turned to favor women's thin ankles and calves, and they preferred women to be in a weak state whenever they wanted.

Shen Mengxi stood on the stake to play Tai Chi all the year round, and his two legs could almost kick over a stone lion, and he subconsciously retracted his legs back by five centimeters. Alas.

Shen Mengxi didn't have a bad feeling for Lin Huiya, but felt that she was a smart and rational woman. The two were not arranged to sit together, they only briefly said a few words about the situation after the farewell in London, and then sat in their places.

Zhang Hanqing had already recognized Shen Mengxi as the owner of Yunshang clothing store, and told her with great interest that if she could open a company in Harbin, business would be very good.

The next day, they listened to the Liang couple's course, and also read Liang Chengru's architectural drawings and manuscripts, all of which are European and American architecture, marked in English, very exquisite, Shen Mengxi admired, and thought that later the couple trekked through the landscape, drew ancient Chinese architectural drawings, and wrote the book "Ancient Chinese Architecture", and was even more emotional.

Liang Chengru has a gentle personality and high emotional intelligence, and gets along with him like a spring breeze, no wonder Lin Huiya would choose him and abandon Xu Shizhe.

Shen Mengxi went to listen to Russian and Japanese classes again, and since she saw Japanese people on the street, she made up her mind to quickly take the Japanese language.

On the last day, Zhang Hanqing actually invited them to ride horses and shoot guns, and sure enough, this person never forgot to have fun.

Zhang Hanqing regretted that in the summer, he could also invite them to play golf and tennis.

Shen Mengxi couldn't understand this person, after Zhang Dashuai was assassinated, he inherited the Northeast Army, resisted foreign aggression for the unification of the country, and obeyed the leadership of the national government.

Maybe her gaze stayed too long, Zhang Hanqing glanced at her and smiled. Shen Mengxi understood his laughter, this man who had 11 mistresses, was used to being chased by women, and his laughter was a typical "I know you like me".

Shen Mengxi didn't smile, turned her head, changed into a riding costume, and stepped on a tall horse, "Drive!" With a sound, the horse galloped away.

Lin Huiya shook her head and said that she couldn't do it, "Miss Zhang, who is both civil and military, this is the model of women of my generation!" ”

I can't remember how many years I haven't run wildly, Shen Mengxi's heart is full of joy, the big black horse seems to feel her excitement, more and more Shenjun, four hooves raise snow chips, the mane around the neck flutters, no need for Shen Mengxi to control, the wind ran around the racecourse twice in an instant, the leather gloves holding the reins were not warm at all, Shen Mengxi's fingers were stiff, and he couldn't hold the reins, so he had to stop the horse with a "driving" sound, jumped off the horse, turned around and hugged the horse's neck, and patted it affectionately, "Good baby, you are really good!" ”

The big black horse snorted loudly, as if it hadn't run for a long time, and it was still unfinished stomping its hooves.

Shen Mengxi stuffed a fruit candy into its mouth, and the horse happily ate it. When Shen Mengxi turned around and walked back, he raised his head and bit off her hat, Shen Mengxi laughed, snatched back his hat, turned over on the horse, and rode it for two laps before giving up.

The group looked at one person and one horse funny, and Zhang Hanqing also said curiously, "I haven't usually seen Da Heizi so coquettish!" ”

"No, my ears and fingers are going to freeze!" Shen Mengxi waved his hand to the big dark horse again and again, "I'll play with you next time!" ”

The big black horse was taken away by three steps and one turn, and Shen Mengxi couldn't help laughing when he looked at it.

"Miss Zhang is really a bold person!" Lin Huiya said with some envy.

Shen Mengxi raised her eyebrows, "An old woman who is thirty years old has no taboos for a long time!" Ha ha! ”

They then went to the indoor shooting range, the four people from Guanghua, the men were all angry teachers, Principal Zhang didn't even dare to ride a horse, and the shooting shot was only one of the six rings, and the other two male teachers simply missed the target.

Shen Mengxi's hand warmed up, and took the pistol handed over by Zhang Hanqing, different from others, this is the latest Browning pistol, the body of the gun is covered with exquisite patterns, very beautiful, Shen Mengxi's eyes are shining, and he can't help but caress the pistol, manual insurance, 16 rounds of double-row magazines, what a good baby!

Standing sideways, raising his arms, closing his left eye, three points and one line, "Papapa" Shen Mengxi fired three shots in a row, seven rings, eight rings, nine rings, the crowd of onlookers erupted in warm applause, and the adjutant who was doing protection on the side breathed a sigh of relief, he had been worried that as soon as the gun rang off, the southern woman would scream, and the muzzle of the gun would be pointed indiscriminately, and she had been on strict guard.

Shen Mengxi took a deep breath and shot three more shots, three ten rings! Shen Mengxi closed the insurance, put down the pistol, and smiled at everyone a little embarrassedly: "It's ugly!" ”

"Women don't let the eyebrows go! President Zhang, your school is full of talents, and we are willing to bow down! Zhang Hanqing said with a smile.

"Where, the Northeast Army is brave and invincible, and it is the protector of our citizens!"
