Section 4: Mrs. Aunt
Section 4: Mrs. Aunt
For Li Fangjing, Murong Painting Building is very familiar. She loves to read history books, and even more loves those men in history who are unbridled but admired by thousands of people, Li Fangjing is one of them. According to the biography of the historical books, he was born in the last years of the previous dynasty, entered Shengjing University at the age of 14, studied law, and dropped out a year later and entered the Wannan Military Academy; He graduated from military academy at the age of eighteen and went to Germany for further study; At the age of twenty-nine, he became the military undersecretary of the Northern Cabinet; At the age of thirty-eight, the cabinet collapsed and a new democratic government was established. At the age of forty-two, he was elected vice president and diplomat of the democratic government.
That year, the aggressor country withdrew its troops from the empire. The land has just been liberated, but everything is in ruins, and the domestic economy, politics, and military are in chaos; There are economic sanctions from Western powers. In this way, he used his strong and graceful diplomacy to exhaust twenty years of time, and saved the empire step by step, becoming one of the most powerful countries in the East, and the economy and military went hand in hand with the Western-style empire.
Li Fangjing contributed a lot, and the history books spoke highly of him, surpassing everyone at the beginning of the empire. There is another one, which is also clearly recorded in the history books, he never married in his life!
It is because of this that later generations of films, television, and novels have all kinds of speculations about him, and he has never been in the limelight...... Why didn't such a suave and talented man marry in his life?
Judging by his current appearance, he should not be more than twenty-five years old, and he has just returned from Germany. At this time, he shouldn't have any fame, right?
Standing beside him was a tall Chinese woman, with clear snow muscles, thick and curly green silk, and a dark long dress of taffeta, but her own faint smooth body shined. Her eyes were deep and bright, and she was smiling slightly at the moment, meekly snuggling up to Li Fangjing's side.
Murong Hualou glanced at it, and then vigilantly restrained his curiosity, pretending to be very clumsy, and resting his hands on his knees. The third young grandmother in the second room of the Bai family is very timid, and she is so nervous every time she sees a stranger, and then she clasps her hands tightly on her knees. Murong Hualou learned very similarly.
"Adjutant Li, who are these two beautiful young ladies, why don't you introduce them......" Li Fangjing looked at them with a smile on his arms with a beautiful crispy jade shoot-like arm.
Adjutant Li looked a little displeased, didn't get up, and said lightly: "Sixth Shao...... This is the Overseer's wife, and this is the Overseer's sister...... This is the sixth son of the Li Mansion......"
Seeing Adjutant Li's ignorant look, Murong Hualou sat still and smiled with a dull expression; Bai Yun's spiritual heart is like glass, he can see it clearly in an instant, and naturally he sits still, smiling lightly, and said six less, and the etiquette is thorough.
Li Fangjing's eyes fell on Murong Hualou's face, and when he saw her demeanor, the corners of his lips smiled slightly, and said, "It turned out to be Mrs. Overseer and Miss ...... It's the first time we've met. The beginning of next month is the birthday of the old lady of our house, and Mrs. Wang and the Overseers will arrive...... Didn't bother the three of us to eat......"
Li Fangjing took his female companion and walked away lightly, but he took away an amazed gaze, handsome men and beautiful women, splendid costumes, and they matched very well. Even Bai Yunling sighed: "A good match.....
After they left, Adjutant Li's face was a little pale, and he told the two of them about Li Fangjing: "...... The Li Mansion was a prominent prominent family in the south. The eldest son served as governor in Shengjing; The second son is the Cabinet Treasurer of the North; The third son, Xuefu Wuche, is now a professor at Kyoto University; The fourth son-in-law is a fierce general under General Mu Cheng, who guards the northeast and is now a major general; The fifth son-in-law is the chief financial officer of our province; But this Li Fangjing is extremely uncompetitive. The year before last, he came back from studying in Germany, and at the beginning of his post in the security department, he lost his hand and injured his superiors in less than three months...... This person is frivolous, if Mrs. Sixth Miss meets him in the future, try to say a few words of greeting......"
Bai Yunling sighed and said, "I don't want to think that the gold and jade will be ruined outside...... It turned out to be such a person......"
Murong Hualou also sighed, merit must be conclusive, who would have thought that Li Fangjing, who would have been evaluated as frivolous and incompetent when he was young?
It was just a small episode, and then I forgot about it and didn't talk about him again. After eating, Adjutant Li asked them if they would go to the movies or go home to rest.
Murong Painting Lou and Bai Yunling both said that they would go back to rest, and after taking the train for a few days, both of them were a little lacking in energy. On the way back, we bypassed a quiet path planted with tall plane trees, and the veins of the street lamps were clearly reflected on the ground through the dark green leaves.
Bai Yunling greeted Adjutant Li and asked what the Overseers had been up to lately.
"Usually it's also military, and I don't have many days at home. If you are at home, you will play chess and drink tea with Aunt Yun, and occasionally come out to sit and listen to plays and watch movies......" Adjutant Li said.
It seems that Aunt Yun has been mentioned inadvertently twice, and Murong Hualou thinks that it will not be unintentional. Why mention her?
When he mentioned it for the first time, Bai Yunling didn't have a good conversation, but at this moment, he didn't know what to say, Murong Painting House was sitting next to them. Talking about my aunt's wife in front of the main room always makes people feel unpleasant.
Murong Hualou saw that Bai Yunling was silent for a moment, and smiled himself: "Is Aunt Yun's wife the aunt named Yun Yuan?" I've heard the third uncle say it a few times in my hometown, and it's a very beautiful woman......"
Throw a stone first and see if it can cause a wave.
The third uncle is the third in the second room, the last time he returned to China, he passed by Yuzhou, and he was picked up by Mrs. Yun herself, and stayed idle in the Overseer's Mansion for two days, Mrs. Yun took good care of her, and she felt at home, and secretly told her family a few times after she went back. The five aunts and eight women in the family, all of whom love to chew the root of their tongues, will naturally reach the ears of Murong Hualou.
"Yes, madam......" Adjutant Li's tone was relaxed, as if he didn't know how to shy away, "Mrs. Yun used to be a popular singer in the Eisenhower Club, but then she followed the Overseer, and she hasn't been out to socialize...... It is beautiful, and it was called the first beauty in Yuzhou back then. ”
Bai Yunling coughed, feeling that Adjutant Li, who had always been steady, could say such frivolous words in front of Murong Painting Building now. He turned his eyes and looked at Murong Hualou's face, still a little dazed, and didn't seem to be very angry.
"Is that ......" Murong Hualou laughed in his heart, and asked in passing, "Then why don't you see Aunt Yun today?" ”
"She suddenly contracted smallpox half a month ago and moved to a small mansion...... She said that when the smallpox was over, she would come back to ask her wife for ......," Adjutant Li said with a smile.
Smallpox, what a wonderful disease! If it's light, you can refuse to visit, and if it's heavy, you can die with a whimper!
It turned out that Adjutant Li spared a circle, just to tell Murong Hualou about this. She smiled in her heart, and knew that the topic of Aunt Yun was over, so she made a gesture and said, "Smallpox...... It's not convenient for me to see her...... Wait until she's well and pick her up and sit ......."
Adjutant Li hurriedly said goodbye, and then talked about some interesting things about Yuzhou. Sure enough, I didn't mention Mrs. Yun anymore.
Bai Yunling breathed a sigh of relief.
