Golden Pink Building

Xiuzhu didn't budge, she sat down with a smile and said to Taohua: "I ran outside for a day, and I'm thirsty, bring your good tea and I'll try some Lu'an melon slices too." Qingqiu hugged Yuan Yuan looked at her flushed face: "You played crazy with Aunt Xiuzhu, your face is so red, hurry up and go back to rest with the nanny. How much ice cream did you eat while I was not around? Wait Stomach hurts at night, I will send you to the hospital for an injection immediately!" Yuan Yuan smiled and put his arms around Qingqiu's arm and said briskly: "I am obedient and didn't eat too much, and I watched my brother not to ask him to eat more cold drinks. Uncle Xiuzhu is playing football in the park. Mom, I want to go out to play football next week, okay? I don’t want to wear a skirt, I need to change into a tracksuit!” Yuan Yuan was dissatisfied with her skirt, and she was wearing brand new white leather shoes in the morning It was so dirty that even the original color of the white lace socks could not be seen.

Qingqiu frowned, and said disapprovingly: "Little girl, she just wants to run wild all day long! How can she look like a girl!" Bai Shaoyi dotingly rescued the frowning daughter: "Okay, now The era is different from the past, and girls can’t be raised to be weak. Are you really going to tell Yuan Yuan to go out of the door? She will go to school in the future, and she will also have physical education classes. I think the country needs to improve if it wants to be strong. Women's physical fitness. If Yuan Yuan likes to play football, ask her to play." Bai Shaoyi put her daughter on her lap and asked her if she played well today.

Xiuzhu looked at Qingqiu with a helpless raised eyebrow, couldn't help laughing and said: "I have seen it, my sister-in-law said that my cousin was obedient to his daughter, and she was confessing her as a queen mother. I believe it. I came back and met several times, but I believed it. But Yuanyuan is really cute, she deserves everyone's love. But sister-in-law Qingqiu, don't be jealous of your own daughter. I think my cousin pursued you before. To be honest, it’s not so obedient.”

"Your mouth is even more open when you go abroad. You don't know, I teach the children by being a black face in my family, and your cousin is very cunning, so he has to be a red face to be a good person." Qingqiu complained about Bai Shaoyi's treachery to Xiuzhu, "Now the child is terrified when he hears that I'm coming, but he has earned the reputation of a good father. You should not be fooled in the future. People say that you are a strict father and a loving mother, but who knew that your cousin still coaxed me at that time Well, they said it was an outdated custom, they wanted to abolish the father-son-son routine, and asked me to act like a strict mother, because mothers are always soft-hearted and won’t reprimand their children too much. As a result, you see, I was a liar It's gone!" Qingqiu pointed at Bai Shaoyi and mocked.

Xiuzhu followed Qingqiu to make things worse: "Qingqiu sister-in-law, do you know that my cousin is cunning? He has been honest since he was a child, but he is actually smarter than anyone else. My brother said that when he was a child, the rule at home was that the fruit after dinner should not be eaten. Pick and choose, eat whatever you get from the plate, and eat what you don’t like, and you can’t throw it away if it’s not good. At that time, my cousin was small and couldn’t see what was on the plate. Once he felt a wrinkle Baba’s apple, just said that I ate too much, and I was so uncomfortable that I didn’t want to eat it. My aunt didn’t mind it. My cousin watched my uncle take the apple, and ran to my aunt and said that I wanted to eat it again. All of a sudden I touched a very good peach. My brother looked at it and laughed so hard that his stomach hurt. The whole family talked about it for a long time."

Bai Shaoyi couldn't keep up with the embarrassing things before being uncovered by Xiuzhu, so she hurriedly interrupted and said: "Xiuzhu, you can't do this, you just listen to your brother. You were not born at that time, and if you didn't see it with your own eyes, it can't be regarded as evidence. "

"Okay, you don't need to tell us about the legal provisions. I think you still have to prepare for the wedding of Xiuzhu, so that people will see a joke when the time comes. You are going to hold a buffet party, how do you prepare drinks and wine? ? I’ll go see my sister-in-law and cousin tomorrow to see if there’s anything I can help. It’s still very hot these days, so I think it’s better to prepare more cold drinks. Have you ordered ice cubes?” Although Shanghai is more expensive than other cities It is prosperous, but there are not many refrigeration equipment. When you want to make a large amount of ice drinks, you need to order ice cubes.

"I was thinking about it too. The wedding is held in the open air, so we need to prepare more cold drinks." Xiuzhu suddenly thought of something, lost her mind for a while, she approached Qingqiu and said in a low voice: "Sister-in-law, you said that I invited Yanxi to my house A wedding? My brother and sister-in-law mean to forget it, but I think almost everyone in the Jin family has been invited, but it would be very eye-catching not to invite Yanxi. Sister-in-law, please help me make up an idea."

"Since you have let go of the previous things, it's okay to invite him. If you are evasive, you will be petty. Your Mr. Tang also knows about your affairs with Yanxi, and there is something hidden. You want to invite Yanxi and him. What do you mean?" Xiuzhu is about to get married, thinking that Xiuzhu was not married to Yanxi in the past, and the two of them have been entangled for these years, it really feels like a world away.Xiuzhu and Tang Lide's wedding was jointly organized by the two families, and Xiuzhu should consider the man's thoughts when she wants to invite Yanxi.

"It was he who offered to invite Yanxi. You can rest assured that the whole Tang family is reasonable, but my brother is worrying about nothing. How petty!" Xiuzhu complained to her brother with some dissatisfaction.

Bai Shaoyi listened to Xiuzhu's words and gave Qingqiu a wink. Qingqiu immediately understood that Bai Xiongqi was not such a stingy person, and he refused to invite Yanxi to the Xiuzhu wedding because he was worried that Yanxi would come and spoil the situation, but because of other reasons. consideration.Qingqiu thought about comforting Xiuzhu first: "Your brother has his own considerations, don't worry about it, you have tried all the wedding clothes? What about the jewelry? Your wedding is going to be a sensation in Shanghai, and it is Western style and It’s an ancient Chinese style. I’d like to see what you look like wearing a top and a bottom, with flower tints on it and sideburns. But according to the beauty of Xiuzhu sister, it must be a beauty that has come down from the strokes.” Xiuzhu came to talk about the details of the wedding with Qingqiu.

Without Zhao Yiping's interruption, Qingqiu's life is much easier. She can do what she likes and be accompanied by people she loves, and can accompany her children every day.The only thing that worries Qingqiu is that her mother is getting older and her body is not as good as before.Fortunately, Mrs. Leng is doing well in her hometown in the countryside, and her uncle Song Shaoqing is quite proud of his prosperity.He can still take good care of Mrs. Leng, so Qingqiu can temporarily feel at ease.On the contrary, Bai Shaoyi thought about whether Mrs. Leng was getting old, and discussed privately with Qingqiu whether to buy another house in Shanghai, and asked Mrs. Leng to live here, so that everyone could take care of each other when they were close.

Qingqiu was grateful for Bai Shaoyi's carefulness, so she paid attention to the house.Xiuzhu's wedding went smoothly, Qingqiu was invited by Bai Xiongqi's wife to help her check if there was anything missing. "Naturally, it's full of colors. The big sister Xiuzhu's lifelong event is finally settled, and the big brother and sister-in-law's big event has been completed. Why don't you see the big brother at home?" Qingqiu recalled that Xiuzhu complained that Bai Xiongqi refused to invite Yanxi If not, she tested Mrs. Bai's tone, wanting to know Bai Xiongqi's concerns.

"Hey, your elder brother has been very busy these days. You know that people are like paper now, and he was very good when he was the prime minister. It's a pity that he became a passer-by overnight. Ken is convinced, and now he is rushing up and down, looking for a chance to make a comeback. Your elder brother has been very busy recently, I think he has some clues." Bai Xiongqi has long since stopped being an official, and he still insists that Xiuzhu's marriage can be done So grand, it seems that Bai Xiongqi is going to take the opportunity to make friends with some important people.

If that's great, it's really inappropriate for eldest brother to be an apartment at home in his prime.He heard that many of his former subordinates had found positions in Nanjing.How can someone as capable as elder brother waste talents at home.A few days ago, Xiuzhu and I wanted to invite Yanxi to the wedding. I saw that many people from the Jin family had been invited to the wedding banquet, but it was puzzling not to invite Yanxi alone.What happened before was in Peiping, when Xiuzhu was still young and naive.Now that everyone is grown up and sensible, let's turn it over.Qingqiu brought up the idea of ​​embroidering beads.

"That's what I mean. Equality between men and women is advocated now. Divorce lawsuits are also very common. I talked to your elder brother a few times and he didn't agree. I chased him last night to ask the truth. Your elder brother said that Mr. Yanxi It’s because he got too close to those left-wing people, and he didn’t like the recent movies he made. Your elder brother is a conservative person, and he can’t see any left-wing radical ideas the most. So he didn’t go back to invite Yanxi to avoid suspicion. I am also in a dilemma now, on the one hand, Xiu Zhu has to worry about the face of the past, and I am worried that the Tang family will see that we are secretive about Yanxi, and think about it. On the other hand, your elder brother is far away from Yanxi. I am really on the wrong side." Mrs. Bai said a little With a nerve-wracking sigh, it's too uncomfortable to be caught between my husband and sister-in-law.

"Since this is the case, sister-in-law can talk to Xiuzhu directly. In fact, elder brother doesn't have to be so cautious. No one knows the relationship between the Jin family and the Bai family. Not to mention that Yanxi made a movie with radical ideas, even if Yanxi went there, I also know the Bai family. Even the leader sent his eldest son to Russia, let alone us ordinary people." Qingqiu was a little ambivalent about Bai Xiongqi's caution, it seemed that Bai Xiongqi was genuine. I really want to go back to the officialdom again, lest there will be a slight disobedience with the authorities.

Mrs. Bai thought about Qingqiu's words, and she also agreed: "You are right, your brother is a prime minister at least, so there is no need to rush to curry favor with them. According to Xiuzhu's meaning, since the Jin family has already invited , there is no shortage of Yanxi alone. By the way, who is Yanxi with now? He should have a family when he is not young." Back then, Yanxi and Xiuzhu were engaged, although the two were really unsuitable , but Yanxi's divorced marriage was more or less caused by Bai Xiongqi's manipulation, and Mrs. Bai was a little bit sorry after all. "Our embroidered beads were also responsible for the incident back then, wouldn't it be hard to slap. When Yanxi gets a good marriage, I will give you a generous gift." The Jin family fell, and Yanxi didn't get much. For money, although he made great movies, being an actor and director to Mrs. Bai looks similar to singing in the sea. It is also a helpless move for a rich man who has lost his livelihood.

"I heard Meili say that Yanxi and Ms. Qiu are very close. They knew each other when they were in Beijing. The last time Yanxi was wrongly arrested and imprisoned, it was Ms. Qiu who helped her out. Things in the world are really hard to say. Who would have thought that Yanzi and Ms. Qiu could be together." Qingqiu felt that the fate of people is really amazing. At that time, Yanxi and Xiuzhu were a pair of relatives who were incomparable. Zhu has deep feelings for Yanxi, and it would be a beautiful thing if they get together.Unexpectedly, Yanxi was half-hearted. In the end, both of them got engaged or broke up. Looking back now, it's really embarrassing.

Xiuzhu's wedding was successfully held. Qingqiu and Bai Shaoyi sat in the seats of the woman's family members and watched Xiuzhu's stunning appearance in a wedding dress. When Bai Xiongqi took his sister's hand and slowly stepped onto the red carpet covered with rose petals , Qingqiu felt that the whole venue suddenly became quiet.The people present were breathless, and there was no sound. Everyone stared at Xiuzhu, and couldn't help admiring in their hearts: "What a beautiful bride, what a lucky groom!" Tang Lide opened his eyes wide, and first stared at Xiuzhu in surprise. Bead for a few seconds, and then there was only a silly smile on his face.

"Look at Tang Lide's appearance, he is so stupid! He and Xiuzhu are not the words of a matchmaker. They haven't seen each other before they got married, so why are they still stupid?" Bai Shaoyi felt funny at Tang Deli's bewildered look, and whispered in Qingqiu's ear Muttering in a low voice. "The most beautiful time for a woman is when she is a bride. Embroidered beads are already outstanding. She is the protagonist today, so she is naturally dazzling." Qingqiu's thoughts are all on Yuan Yuan, who is a flower girl, watching her daughter carry her hands in a serious manner. Walking briskly in front of the newcomer with a small flower basket, Qingqiu couldn't help but gently waved at her daughter with the corners of her mouth upturned.

"Cousin still laughs at others, why don't you remember that when you got married, you also looked at Qingqiu foolishly! I still have the original photos at home, wait for me to find them, do you still laugh at others?" Yufen Behind Qingqiu and Bai Shaoyi, they could clearly hear their husband and wife's conversation.

Embarrassed, Bai Shaoyi immediately turned her face to Yufen and said, "I only saw Peifang, why didn't I see my cousin?" Bai Shaoyi was a little surprised that Fengju didn't come to Xiuzhu's wedding.

"Hey, you don't know that my eldest brother is getting better at doing business. He went to Beijing to discuss business. I think it's a big business. Otherwise, he wouldn't leave his sister-in-law and run away. You didn't realize that my sister-in-law is spending a lot of money now, you see The wedding gift she gave to Xiuzhu, a brand new set of gold-plated silverware, that's the weight! All made by the best silver building in Shanghai, and a pair of Qianlong pastel vases. Those bottles are not very cheap. I It looks like my eldest brother is getting rich! I heard that my sister-in-law is going to send their girl to a missionary school." Yufen looked enviously at her sister-in-law Peifang who was not far away.Fengju's business is doing well, and Peifang's face and body are brightened.

What kind of business does my cousin do? Is dumping kerosene very profitable in Beijing?Bai Shaoyi thinks about Fengju's kerosene business, but transporting kerosene from Shanghai to Peiping doesn't make much money, does it?It is very convenient to go to Beijing from Tianjin port, and it is far away from Shanghai to Peiping.

"It's a kerosene business. Now my elder brother has a lot of hands and eyes. What's in demand is what he does. He's doing foreign goods business in Beijing, and the newly imported materials, cosmetics, and cars in Shanghai. Anyway, what's new in Shanghai shopping malls?" He can tinker with things and go to Peiping. You don’t know that the price of French perfume in shopping malls is doubled in Beiping. Not only in Beiping, but also in Tianjin and the markets outside the customs. Big brother has made a fortune! Recently I heard people say that big brother I bought a large amount of fabrics, yarns and western medicines that are in short supply and sent them outside the customs. It’s worth tens of thousands of net profits after changing hands!" Yufen has good eyes and ears, and she can't hide anything from her eyes.

Bai Shaoyi frowned slightly: "The situation outside the customs is tense, and the local emperors in the Northeast are all in Beiping. He is not afraid of danger?" Feng Ju has a lot of contacts who helped Jin Quan in the past, and now he is doing business again. It is easier to raise sources of goods than other traders, even luxury goods.There is no shortage of rich people there.However, cloth, yarn, and western medicine are all strategic materials and are sent outside the customs at this time, which makes people worry.

"My sister-in-law also told me her worries in private, but my elder brother swore that the businessman with great strength and reputation was approached there, and the one who made the match was an old acquaintance of my father before. My elder brother said that the Northeast Army's equipment is insufficient, and there are many things I have to prepare it by myself. His things are genuine, and he has done business several times with money and goods, and they are very trustworthy. My sister-in-law saw that the profit is very high, so she didn't stop her." Yufen posted an exclusive news with some pride .

Bai Shaoyi frowned even more when she heard Yufen's words. Just as he was about to say something, Qingqiu reminded them in a low voice: "It's a luncheon later, sit down and talk slowly if you have something to say. The newlyweds are going to read their vows. " Yufen didn't say any more, and everyone waited quietly for the witness to read the marriage certificate.
