The fifth section of the Li family's birthday banquet
The fifth section of the Li family's birthday banquet
When I came to Yuzhou for six or seven days, I was accompanied by Adjutant Li, and I walked around to have a look, listening to the opera today, watching the movie tomorrow, and then I said that a new opera was coming...... I ate all kinds of restaurants in Yuzhou City, looked at all kinds of buildings, bought all kinds of cheongsam, and Murong Painting House enjoyed it.
It wasn't until that afternoon that I took a cup of rich mixed black tea and wanted to sit on the swing in the backyard, smell the flowers, bask in the sun, and hear Bai Yunling talking to Adjutant Li, that I remembered what seemed to be a shortcoming......
Before she could get past the wall, she heard a voice on the other side of the hallway with suppressed anger. She paused and listened carefully, it was Bai Yunling: "...... That's not right...... Even if he took his sister-in-law to live there, he never showed up, which is wrong...... My sister-in-law has been married to the Bai family for more than two years, and he has not returned, but my sister-in-law has not complained, abiding by women's morals, being filial to her father and mother, and assisting her younger siblings...... She has never read a book of the new era, and she does not know the theory of equality between men and women. But she is also dignified...... Since you dislike her and have been raised in your hometown, is it not good to be the same as your previous sister-in-law...... Isn't it humiliating to pick up and not see her...... My sister-in-law said kindly, I didn't dare to mention it in front of her...... Big brother is not right like this......"
"The Overseers are really busy...... Adjutant Lee explained.
"Busy? Don't you have the time to go home for a meal? If you're busy, why bother to take your sister-in-law...... I don't understand...... She was stupid and didn't know how to ask, but after a long time, she would always ask, how could I tell her......" Bai Yunling's voice was a little choked, "Big brother is like this, it's not kind!" After I go back, how will I explain to my parents...... Before leaving, my mother kept saying that my sister-in-law must be pregnant before she can go to Lincheng...... The eldest brother is thirty-five years old, and there is no ...... to come."
When Murong Hualou heard this, his heart was also warm, this sister-in-law was kind, and she was very kind to her, a woman like her mother-in-law.
is missing something, that is, her husband Bai Yungui. On that day, I saw that the white clouds returned, but they never returned. Adjutant Li had all kinds of arguments, and Murong Hualou was immersed in eating, drinking, and having fun, and he forgot to ask. On the contrary, Bai Yunling was cautious and in a dilemma.
Bai Yunling is very similar to her mother-in-law, she never provokes the love of husband and wife, she is dissatisfied, and she does not say that Bai Yungui is not good in front of Murong Hualou......
That's how the days passed.
It's the beginning of June in a blink of an eye, and the weather is slightly hotter. It has been half a month since Murong Painting House came to Yuzhou, and Bai Yun still hasn't returned. But there was something wrong with the atmosphere in the streets, and it seemed that the security was very high. Adjutant Li was still playing sloppy and fooling them. Not wanting Bai Yunling to be embarrassed, Murong Hualou only occasionally asked one day why the Overseer didn't come back, and then didn't ask again......
Murong Hualou would not be so naïve as to think that Bai Yun Gui picked her up in order to humiliate her. Nature for a reason. Specifically because of what, she has a faint outline in her heart, but many details can't be connected......
Situation...... What is certain is that the position of the overseer of Yuzhou seems to be under a lot of pressure. No matter which chess piece she belongs to, it is definitely related to the current situation.
The soldiers came to bring the enemy's water to the earth weir, Murong Hualou had such a plan in his heart, and his life was very leisurely. She was still the native lady of the countryside who was amazed at everything, and Bai Yunling was still her guide.
In the end, something happened that made her leisurely days a little turbulent.
Mrs. Li's 70th birthday is the fifth day of June. Adjutant Li told Murong Hualou that she was definitely going to attend.
"Am I going alone?" Murong Hualou paused for a moment, but still asked.
Adjutant Li smiled faintly: "Madame will go alone, and her subordinates will accompany ......."
Saying this, even Bai Yunling was not allowed to take it. Murong Hualou's mind was racing with Adjutant Li's words, and he seemed to understand a little, so he didn't say anything, just pretended to be cowardly: "I'm afraid I won't be able to deal with it......"
"It's okay, my subordinates will go with my wife......" Adjutant Li said without being salty.
Bai Yunling originally wanted to complain, but she was afraid that Murong Hualou would be even more uneasy in this way, so she also smiled and comforted her: "Sister-in-law, just go, can they still eat people?" You are the Overseer's wife, the most honorable person in the city of Yuzhou, and you have seen it and laughed with you; If you can't see it, you won't care......"
That's a good idea.
Adjutant Lee did not refute.
Murong Painting Building didn't have stage fright, but there were some things she couldn't understand. The Overseer is the most powerful person in Yuzhou City, and if he is really busy, he can not go. The real power of the Li family is in the north, and Yuzhou still has the final say in the overseer, and he is not afraid of offending the Li family. He didn't shirk it, and let Murong Painting House go alone. Knowing that she came from a small place and had never seen the world, she let her go, didn't she make a fool of herself?
Murong Painting Building is a spirit: maybe it was to make her ugly and force her to go alone.
But why did she show her timidity? Madame is stupid, and the Overseer has no face, so she should hide it, so why do you have to go?
Why do you have to go?
Many thoughts flashed through Murong Hualou's mind, but they were denied by himself one by one......
On the afternoon of the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, she began to prepare early. Adjutant Li told the painting building that the old lady of the Li family was over 70 years old and in poor health, so she should dress according to Mrs. Li's preferences. Mrs. Li is in her early fifties this year, and she has been to the United Kingdom with Mr. Li for two years, and she loves fashionable things......
The weather in June was also hotter, and the cabinet was full of clothes, and Murong Painting House chose left and right, and still chose a cheongsam with a red and lotus pattern with a high neck, short sleeves, and high slits, and then changed into a pair of white leather shoes. Both festive and unassuming.
The thick hair was pulled up, piled into a bun, and two plants were inserted.
When she went downstairs, Adjutant Li was stunned for a moment: Who said that Mrs. Overseer is a young lady who has scum in the mainland? After half a month of dependence, Li Zhenghong found that she dressed with great vision, and she could always integrate classical beauty with trendy things, which was both comfortable to look at and feminine without losing the softness of a woman, unlike a completely old-fashioned woman who was complacent, nor like a completely trendy woman who admired foreign charm.
Her delicate eyebrows and eyes seem to be becoming more and more charming.
Adjutant Li changed into a black evening dress. A man of military background, tall and sturdy, wearing evening dresses, and excellent demeanor. There is no paleness left in the complexion, and the healthy complexion sets off the temperament of the soldiers. He's a very nice man.
On the way there, Adjutant Li explained to Murong Hualou what happened after arriving at the Li family: "If anyone asks why the Overseers didn't come, Madame will say, go to the east, don't say anything else; Mrs. Li likes trendy things, if there is anything she doesn't understand, don't talk about it, and say more wrong......"
If someone asks about the Overseers......
Went to the east......
By reading the newspaper, Murong Hualou knew that the 200,000-strong army of the warlord Zhang Heyuan, supported by the Japanese, was pressing the border in the east, and the war was about to break out. Adjutant Li meant that he wanted to tell everyone through the mouth of Murong Painting House that the Overseers had something to do with the Japanese?
Why is that? Although he followed the Japanese, everyone was reluctant to pierce the window paper of being a traitor, so if Bai Yun returned to the Japanese, it would be impossible to say it with great fanfare. Since it can be said, then it is not, but it is necessary to mislead everyone......
I didn't return home for half a month......
forced her to go to the Li family's birthday banquet alone......
Japanese......
Murong Hualou thought about it a lot, but there was still one point that couldn't be connected, and it didn't make sense. She just nodded and smiled, "I see...... Adjutant Li will help me when he arrives......"
