"Students in Peking have already made a fuss, and students in Shanghai are about to strike. It's not peaceful these days. Let Zhenghai and Huanzhu stay at home for two days and don't go to school." Jingxian stood up and took a sheet from the desk. Show the invitation letter to Zhaoshi. "National Congress business representatives?" "Yes, it's from the Federation of Industry and Commerce." Zhaoshi looked very excited, "Sister-in-law, you must go. Now everyone is calling for a boycott of Japanese products. The biggest impact of Japanese products on domestic products is Cotton yarn and foreign cloth, the muzzle of the gun is actually facing our family, and this is our family’s major event.” Jing Xian sighed, “I, a woman, can’t understand the important affairs of the country. But when you talk about cotton yarn and foreign cloth, I don’t understand I don’t think so. The Japanese have advanced machines and weave good and cheap foreign cloth. If we can’t weave better cloth, what’s the use of resisting? Japan’s cotton yarn is spun yarn, and ours is roving, but the price is the same Let alone the common people, even the Germans and the French all go to buy Japanese fine yarn. The common people earn hard-earned money, so why not let them buy cheap and good things?"

As Zhaoshi said, student movements broke out everywhere, and Shanghai became less and less peaceful.The National Assembly was held as scheduled, and Steward Sun was worried that it would be unsafe for a woman like Jingxian to attend such an assembly, so he offered to go for her.Unexpectedly, I met Zhaoshi at the conference—he attended the conference as a representative of the academic circles, and he also spoke on behalf of middle school students in Shanghai.Steward Sun hurriedly found Zhaoshi in the crowd, the wrinkles on his tense face were all twisted together, "My second master, you are too courageous! You have come to hold such a meeting without telling your family, and dare to speak out to encourage students to strike , If grandma finds out about this, then it’s okay? Do you know that dozens of students who made trouble in Peking have been arrested?” Zhaoshi smiled, “I didn’t mean to hide it from my family. If my sister-in-law came to the meeting today , You saw me now too. I didn’t do anything shameful, and besides, my sister-in-law even showed me the invitation card from the Federation of Industry and Commerce.” The two were talking, when there was a sudden commotion at the meeting place, surrounded by soldiers and police At the scene, the participants were excited and clashed.Butler Sun was afraid that Zhaoshi would be injured, so he held him tightly in his arms.

As a result, Zhaoshi saw a female student jumping onto the podium. The girl was wearing a lake-colored jacket, an indigo skirt, two braids, and a bow tie made of the same material as the jacket. She was standing on the podium. He said loudly: "Military lords, I know that you are also responsible, and you are not unpatriotic, so please temporarily let go of the citizens present at the meeting. Citizens, fellow workers, and schoolmates! We are all one family, don't let each other Embarrassing. Why don’t we go back separately and contribute to saving the country in our respective careers.” The leading officer replied from the audience: “This girl is right, our responsibilities are not easy to communicate with each other, please don’t embarrass us, and separate Right." Zhaoshi was amazed at the girl's courage, so he couldn't help but look back a few more times, the girl also saw Zhaoshi in the crowd, and smiled at her, and when she laughed, there was a small dimple on her face .Butler Sun muttered: "Chairman Zhu, how can such a cautious person raise such a desperate girl." Zhaoshi looked at Butler Sun, "Do you know that girl?" Butler Sun nodded, "It's the Commercial Savings Bank. Chairman Zhu’s son-in-law, Zhu’s family came back from overseas, and his daughter seems to have studied in a Chinese and Western girls’ high school. I met him at a financial reception held by their Zhu’s family.” Zhaoshi became interested: “Her family She also participated in the reception? What a civilized family. Our family has such a big house, and we have never held a reception, and I don’t often go to such occasions. Besides, he is a girl, and his parents are really enlightened.” Sun The housekeeper was still nagging: "Second Master, don't say such things again, you will be unhappy if Grandma hears it.

The crowd gradually dispersed, and Zhaoshi talked with the representatives of the academic circles, and agreed to continue the assembly and organization activities in three days, and then went to find Steward Sun and went back together.Butler Sun kept talking along the way, "Second Master, look at how dangerous this place is. What if something goes wrong? Let me tell you, I'm going to tell Grandma when I go back, so I can't help you. You are hiding such a thing." Zhaoshi didn't take these words to heart at all, but he thought of another matter, and asked mysteriously: "Sun Butler, do you know all the business representatives who are meeting today?" Didn't notice that he was changing the subject, and answered according to his words: "I know, I have been with the master for so many years, and I don't know anyone from the Shanghai Federation of Industry and Commerce." Zhaoshi thought thoughtfully, "Knowledge is Well, in two days, there may be good news." Butler Sun was confused by him, "What good news, let the second master tell you." Zhaoshi said mysteriously, "This is a premonition, but I said It doesn't matter, I have to ask my sister-in-law for advice."

Butler Sun is a man with a knife mouth and a bean curd heart. Although he scares Zhaoshi a lot on the way, he didn't tell Jingxian about meeting the second master at the venue when he returned.He knew that the eldest grandma had always been very strict with this little uncle, and since nothing happened that day, he didn't plan to make any more troubles.Unexpectedly, Zhaoshi had more important matters to discuss with his sister-in-law, so he confessed to attending the National Assembly.In the end, he still underestimated his sister-in-law's reaction to this incident.

As soon as he finished talking about meeting Butler Sun at the National Assembly, his sister-in-law's face darkened.Zhaoshi couldn't sit still anymore, stood up and said, "Sister-in-law, I'm a few years older now. Didn't you say last time that I also have a good idea? I see that you also talked about being a business representative before, I think Seeing that you have no objection, I made up my own mind." Jing Xian's face was as deep as water, without a trace of expression.Seeing that his sister-in-law didn't speak, Zhaoshi felt a little flustered, collected himself and continued, "A few days ago, I mentioned to my sister-in-law about asking my sister-in-law to recognize Zheng Hai as a foster son, but now I've thought of a way. See you at the meeting yesterday. I went to Steward Sun, and saw that he was doing well among those people in the Chamber of Commerce. I asked carefully, and he was very familiar with these people and things. How about my sister-in-law appointing him as the assistant of the company, and a reliable helper in business, He doesn't need to help at home, everyone looks good to each other, and there is no scruple about Zhenghai's affairs." Jingxian sneered, "The second master really made a big idea, butler Sun will hide it for you and go out to hold the National Assembly privately You just give him such a big grace. In the future, I don’t need me in this family’s affairs, but you can make up your own mind.” Zhaoshi was also frightened by his sister-in-law’s serious words, and quickly explained: “Sister-in-law, you Misunderstood, I didn't ask Butler Sun to help me hide this matter, but I laughed at him for making a fuss, saying that since you entrusted him to the meeting, you must not object to this matter. You can ask Butler Sun, he doesn't know me Let me tell you about Zhenghai."

When Butler Sun came, Jingxian knew that Zhaoshi was not lying after asking a few words, and she was secretly regretting that she had blamed Zhaoshi.Butler Sun said hesitantly: "Grandma, there is one more thing, I think I have to tell you, it's inappropriate to keep it a secret." Talking to Jingxian, but speaking to Zhaoshi Yu earnestly said, "Second Master, this gathering is dangerous after all, so don't go there again. I heard you discuss with a few students that you are going to organize a gathering again, this is too dangerous It’s better for the students in Peiping to be arrested. Fortunately, they were fine last time. Those military and police officers can’t be relied on. If they turn their backs, it’s a big deal.” Zhao Shiwan didn’t expect Sun Butler to beat him up in front of his sister-in-law. Jun, angrily, turned his head away to ignore Butler Sun, and didn't speak.

Jingxian asked from the side: "Did you hear what Butler Sun said?" Zhaoshi had the courage to ignore Butler Sun, but he didn't have the guts not to answer what his sister-in-law said, so he could only whisper: "I heard you." Oh my God, I don’t want to go, so I just read at home.” Zhaoshi was dejected: “Yes, I understand.” Zhaoshi was grounded for no reason, and was taught another lesson.As soon as he was so angry, he slammed the door of the room with his hands when he went out. Jingxian called him in the room: "Come back!" Zhaoshi had no choice but to turn around and go into the room again.Jingxian also looked at Zhaoshi quietly for a while without saying a word, and said, "If you dare to take a step outside the gate, you can go to the ancestral hall to receive family law. Go." Zhaoshi frowned, but when he turned around again , took the door lightly, not daring to make a sound.

The next day, Jingxian told Butler Sun to invite him to work as an assistant in the commercial firm, and made new clothes for Zheng Hai for four seasons, and prepared several gifts, ready to recognize this godson.When the auspicious day came, the family invited Butler Sun and his wife to sit together in the living room, watching Zhenghai kowtow, and called her godmother.Jing Xian smiled: "Go and kowtow to the second uncle, although he is not a few years older than you, but he is still an elder, he must be obedient in the future." Zheng Hai kowtowed to Zhao Shi as he said, and called the second uncle.However, because of Sun Butler's words of persuasion in front of Jing Xian two days ago, Zhao Shi kept his face in a bad mood, and he didn't dare to show it in front of Jing Xian, so he had to force a smile and helped Zheng Hai up.Zhenghai was overjoyed, and said to Zhaoshi: "I know it was the second uncle who told the godmother to recognize my son. The second uncle has always loved me the most." Zhaoshi curled his lips, and said in a strange way, "No, it's because of you. The second uncle even got scolded about it." Jingxian's face was hesitant, "Zhaoshi!" Zhaoshi stood up, and Jingxian thought that this occasion should not be angry, so she just said: "In front of children, there must always be some elders. identity of."

At night, Jingxian leaned on the pillow, half-closed her eyes to see Xiaozhen half-sitting on the edge of the bed and beating her legs.She suddenly patted the back of Xiaozhen's hand, and asked, "Tell me, am I being too strict with Qiao Shi?" Xiaozhen looked at Jingxian, lowered her head, and said, "Grandma has always been kind to others, and she treats me a little bit harder." The maids and servants in the family are all good-natured, and they don't really pursue their mistakes. They just teach the second master a few words, and they are more serious to the second master, and they can't tolerate any mistakes. Several times you sent me to send a message to ask him Come on, I see that he looks very nervous. Speaking of elder sister-in-law, who is like a mother, but who would be so frightened when seeing his own mother, and the second master is only a teenager, younger than me." Jing Xian sighed, "Who told him to be the second master of the Shen family?" Xiao Zhen hurriedly took over the conversation, "Yes, the second master is no match for us, he is the man who wants to stand up for the family, isn't he?" Jing Xian Laughing: "It would be great if he could understand as well as you do. This kid doesn't know what's wrong. He's confused for a while and then understands for a while. I'm actually worried that I'm going to take too much care of him, so that he doesn't know what to do." Xiaozhen said : "Grandma, please be more relieved. You see, Lianzhou didn't take care of it so tightly, didn't she learn to be bad? A few days ago, Master Zhenghai was playing with that old clock, and it was too tight, and the strings broke, so he couldn't go well. I think the second master is similar to the clock at home." Jingxian smiled: "Your metaphor is right. Lianzhou is still young, and besides, I am not his mother. I am worried that he will have a bad relationship with me if he is too strict. Speaking of which, this child was used to being cruel before, and his mother was like that again. When the child grows up, he must establish rules. Hey, then again, such a small child can How big a disaster did you cause? It’s not as good as Zhaoshi’s one-year-old and two-year-old, and he has more thoughts, and even has the ability to make troubles with the students.” Xiaozhen asked tentatively: “I heard from Butler Sun that the party that day It was a girl from someone's family who came to the rostrum to persuade them. This girl is really courageous. Speaking of it, she didn't want to worry her parents to death. The lady in the foreign school must be that mansion It’s a good thing that Huanzhu is obedient, otherwise I won’t be able to sleep just thinking about it.” Jingxian closed her eyes, as if she wanted to see her daughter again in her mind, “Huanzhu just can’t talk, if I can tell, but I'm afraid it's not a cheap lamp. Have you forgotten that she had her hair cut when she just went to school?"

Xiaozhen gently helped Jingxian lay her legs flat and covered her with a blanket, but Jingxian said: "It's getting hot, this blanket can't cover it, let's change to a cocoon quilt." Xiaozhen smiled: "Huang Meitian Here it is, the cocoon silk thing is not separated from the moisture, and the wind is cool in the morning and evening, grandma, don't be too greedy for coolness." Jingxian waved her hand: "I feel very hot and hot, and I can't cover such a thing." Xiao Zhen While rummaging through the quilt in the cabinet, he said: "I see that grandma's boring meals are not delicious these days. I pickled some green plums a while ago, and gave you two to suck, to see if it makes you feel better. You too Worrying too much, I combed my hair early today, and I saw two white hairs again." Jing Xian sighed: "Being a parent means worrying about the children, and now there is another Zheng Hai. I think that child has nothing to worry about. Well, it’s just too strong, I heard that I got into a fight with someone in the school a few days ago.” Xiaozhen comforted her: “You are also worrying too much, what’s the point of a ten-year-old boy fighting with someone It's rare, didn't you let the second master call you into the study when you came back?" Before finishing speaking, Lianzhou's small head squeezed in, "Mother, do you want to listen to me recite "A Thousand Family Poems"" Jingxian said with a smile "Since you brought me to your door, you must have memorized it by heart. Okay, I'll ask my aunt to bring you the quilt and come up to sleep." Lianzhou immediately ran to the bed, kicked off her shoes, and climbed onto the big bed. The bed lay behind the mother.
