Fingertip dandy, the Republic of China Jia women want to start a career

"Shaowen!" Did he come back so soon, Yan Ying ran to open the door happily.

"You...you...who are you?" It was a stranger who came in. She stepped back and asked in fear.

"Oh, it's really you, Qiao Yanying! So you are Brother Shaowen's beautiful woman!" Jingru stepped into the door lightly, "Look, you lied to us that you came from another place, so it is him You are quite good at hiding things. Fenghuang, tell her who I am!"

"This is the Second Young Mistress who is in charge of our Li Residence. Even the wife has to listen to our Second Young Mistress." Fenghuang said loudly, now she is a celebrity by Jingru's side, and Jingru likes to take her with her wherever she goes.

"Second Young Mistress." Yan Ying was anxious, not knowing why she came, so she was careful when she spoke.

"I came here to tell you. In fact, everyone in your family knows about your affairs. From the madam to the servant girl, everyone knows that brother Shaowen secretly hid you outside, and the madam is furious. I persuaded you to make peace." Jing Ru cheated.

"Everyone...knows?" Yan Ying lowered her head and muttered in a low voice, twisting the corners of her clothes uneasily with both hands.

"Well, of course." Jingru sat down and looked around, "This house is really good, not too far from Li's house, it's a single house, it faces south, and the sun is good, the decoration is simple, but it can be regarded as a comfortable place , brother Shaowen will find you a place."

Others listened to her words with a kind of teasing, only Jingru knew that she had mixed emotions of jealousy and envy, and didn't understand what the girl Qiao Yanying in front of her was capable of With Brother Shaowen's favor, she is not as good as Sister Lan, and of course she is not as good as one of my little thumbs.

Yanying stood stupidly, she didn't know how to answer the words, and she was afraid that she would offend the powerful Second Young Mistress in front of her with some words.

"As far as I know, the eldest young mistress was furious when she heard the news of your existence, and she will definitely find a way to deal with you next. You have to be careful, she is the serious third lady of the Zhou family among the three major families in Jiangcheng, not you People who can be provoked." Jingru continued, "But I am here today, and it is definitely not against you."

Yan Ying didn't answer, from what Jing Rushen said, she couldn't judge the other party's sincerity or hypocrisy.

"You don't believe it?" Jingru thought of it, and smiled, "Guess how I found you so quickly? In fact, the eldest young mistress knew about it earlier, and the eldest young mistress is much more capable than me."

Fenghuang and her looked at each other, probably Li Shaowen never dreamed that on the day he was catching the train, when he left the house, Jingru paid attention and sent someone to follow him, and he found this place.

Where did Yan Ying go through this intangible battle, she remained silent.

Jingru felt that the heat was about the same, so she came over and took her hand, let her sit next to her, and changed her tone and expression with affection: "Don't be afraid, don't worry, I'm not Wang Xifeng, and you're not You Er Sister. I am married to the second young master. I have no entanglement with you at all. I just remind you kindly. I just need to be careful of the eldest young mistress. You will marry into the house in the future and have an official status. All of us We still have a long time to meet. I am crazy about how old you are. I only hope that you treat me like a sister. There are many right and wrong in the house of a large family. I don’t think you understand much when you first entered, but I will mention you more. Let Madam like you."

"Really?" Yanying thought about this, thinking that what Jingru said was reasonable, she still asked, "Why did you help me?"

"The last time I saw you at home, I had an inexplicable liking for you, and I felt that I should become friends with you, so I came here to remind you." Jingru smiled heartily, "Fenghuang, I'll give you to Miss Qiao. What about the meeting ceremony?"

Fenghuang turned around and took a big gift box from the car outside.

"You just moved into a new home, so you haven't done anything yet, right? I've been picking and choosing, and I don't know what you like. This is a set of dishes from Jiangxi Porcelain Factory. Just take it if you think about it." Jingru signaled Phoenix, she gently placed the box on the table.

"How embarrassing, it's too precious." Yan Ying declined.

Jingru held her back: "Now you should trust me as a friend. Come on, if you treat me as a friend, don't push me away, ouch, it's getting late, there are still a lot of things waiting for me at home, you Let's finish our work earlier and rest. I'm leaving."

Jingru got up to leave, then remembered what she had told her: "By the way, don't tell Brother Shaowen about my visit today, you know what I said, you just said you bought this set of dishes, you know? Recently, the relationship between him and his family has been a little tense, and I don't want to cause extra problems."

"Yes, I understand." Yan Ying nodded, "Second Young Madam, don't worry."

Jingru took Phoenix away contentedly.Yanying sent Jingru away, and the second young lady came to visit suddenly, she was caught off guard for a while, Yanying didn't dare to believe all Jingru's words, nor did she dare not disbelieve them.At any rate, she didn't live in the Li family's mansion, and she couldn't be disrespectful to Jingru, but these people and things can be avoided temporarily, and everything will be settled after Shaowen comes back.

And Zhilan also took advantage of Li Shaowen's opportunity to go to Shanghai to meet Yuchun again.

This time she brought money.

"Mother, I paid attention to what you told me last time. This is my savings. It is convenient for you to do things outside. Can you help me buy a house?" Zhilan said, "When I get out, I have You have a way to retreat, and you have a way to retreat."

"Are you really thinking about it? Don't miss it at all?" Yuchun took the money box and asked again.

"Yes. There is not enough money here, please tell me, I still have jewelry to be used as." Zhilan kept asking herself these days, she had already made her mind clear, "I am not afraid of hardships, I want to be independent. I I'm still young, and I have to create a place in Jiangcheng by myself. In this way, I can be free from any restrictions, and have the ability to correct my identity and tell everyone that I am an upright Qi family."

"Okay." Yuchun looked at her with complicated eyes, as if she was looking at her young self, but Zhilan was braver than her and thought more clearly, "I will help you, you just wait for my news. Watch the timing over there and keep your head clear."

Zhilan nodded in response: "Thank you, mother."

Yuchun got up and hugged her encouragingly: "Lan'er, be more careful in everything, and be more careful with yourself."

At the invitation of Teacher Qi, Li Shaowen stayed in Shanghai for a few days longer than planned. This trip to Shanghai was very fruitful for him. With the important things in his arms, he stood at Dazhikou Railway Station with his luggage and waited for the driver. Chen came to pick it up.

Lao Chen took his luggage back to Li's residence, and Li Shaowen went to Guanshengyuan Tea House on Fifth Avenue alone.It is said to be a teahouse, but it was inexplicably built in a back alley on Wumalu where there are many vehicles and horses. There is a bamboo tea shed at the door, and some rickshaw pullers and people in bunts who look like laborers sit in the tea shed and drink tea.

The first time Li Shaowen came here, he went straight in to look for the shopkeeper.

The inside of the tea house is not small, it is not as simple as it looks from the outside, there are Eight Immortals tables and long benches in the shop, and there are several private rooms in the depths.

"Guest, what would you like to drink?" Xiaoer stepped forward to entertain.

"Where is your shopkeeper?" Li Shaowen stood still in front of the counter and said loudly, "I came here specially to find him."

"Who is looking for me?" A tall, thin man heard the movement from the counter and opened the door from the back, and walked slowly, holding a Yixing purple clay teapot in his hand.

Li Shaowen only made one movement in front of him, and the other party hurriedly cupped his hands, put the teapot on the cabinet, and respectfully led him into the room.

He picked up the curtain and entered the door. When the light dimmed, Li Shaowen squinted his eyes and took a while to adapt to the environment.

Sitting in front of the Eight Immortals table was a man, dressed in a gray robe, with an ordinary appearance. The shopkeeper stepped forward and whispered something in his ear, and went out first.

"Isn't this the famous Young Master Li? I didn't expect that he was also our family manager." The man also bowed his hands to him, pointing to the stool next to him to sit down.

"Are you?" Li Shaowen sat down and asked, "What's your name?"

"I, He Qian, am now the confidant of Master Shen Shan of Tianmen Mountain, and I am responsible for contacting him. I wonder if Young Master Li has any advice for coming here?"

"I brought a handwritten letter from Master Ji. I hope to meet Lord Shen Shan and hand it over to him. Please help me get in touch with it." Li Shaowen pointed to the things in his pocket.

"Master Ji?"

"Old man Ji Yunqing of the 'big' generation of the Qing Gang, I have already worshiped him as a teacher, so I came to recognize him today." Li Shaowen laughed.

"It's easy to talk, I'll take you there." He Qian led Young Master Li out of the tea house.The two walked to the intersection of Wuma Road. He Qian led Li Shaowen into the car and went to the Huchang Guild Hall.

The car parked at the entrance of Huchang Guild Hall in Hunan Lane.Li Shaowen looked from the car window, and there was an antique plaque on the door inscribed with four big characters "Huchang Guild Hall".It's not too long after the new year, and the red lanterns hanging in front of the door have not been taken off, swaying with the wind.

Seeing that it was He Qian who came, the gatekeeper didn't ask any more questions.He Qian led Li Shaowen inside, Li Shaowen lifted his robe, stepped over the high threshold, and followed He Qian to Jingshen.There are carved beams and painted buildings, and a wide and deep courtyard. It is impossible to imagine that there is something special here only from the outside.

Pushing open the door of the East Wing, He Qian asked Li Shaowen to wait in front of the door, and went in to report by himself.

"Please come in." Li Shaowen only heard this sentence outside the door, it was a deep man's voice.

He Qian came out and made a "please" gesture.

Since Li Shaowen took over Zhihe Commercial Bank, he has never been through any storm or encountered anyone. He calmed down and stepped in calmly.

"Young Master Li from the three major families in Jiangcheng will also patronize places like ours."

As soon as he entered the door, he could smell the sweet smell of crow smoke paste.The room was filled with smoke, and the sound came from the middle-aged man reclining on the couch.

Shen Hanzhi was lazily and greedily swallowing clouds and fog, and beside him was an enchanting woman in a gorgeous cheongsam who was skillfully burning cigarettes for him.
