Golden Pink Building

Zhao Zhongshu wanted to put on his usual black face to tell Song Xiuzhi to retreat, but unfortunately he was lying on the hospital bed now, his complexion was so bad that he had no usual power.Song Xiuzhi is also a fledgling child. Although her family is not rich, she is also a well-loved child. Naturally, she ignored Zhao Zhongshu's resistance.She scooped up water with a spoon and brought it to his mouth, imitating her mother feeding her younger brother and saying, "Ah, open your mouth!"

Zhao Zhongshu had never met a woman like Song Xiuzhi again, and he was speechless when he looked at Song Xiuzhi's clear eyes.Although Zhao Zhongshu has never married, he has come into contact with a lot of women of all kinds, some of whom are flirtatious socialites, and some of whom are introduced by warm-hearted relatives and friends.No matter whether it is a girl in a party or a girl from a family who is cautious, arrogant or reserved, there is no one who is as ignorant of the world as Song Xiuzhi, with the energy of a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers.

Zhao Zhongshu suddenly felt a little stubborn, and said with pursed lips on purpose: "Do you really know how to take care of people? I have to wash up first when I wake up in the morning." Song Xiuzhi remembered that this person was still sleeping when she came in. When I came up, I was rash and clamored for water and food, and boasted brazenly that I could take care of others.Thinking of this, Song Xiuzhi blushed slightly, and hurriedly stood up: "I'll fetch water to wipe your face." As she spoke, she ran into the bathroom attached to the ward.

Yufen and Peifang made an appointment to see Zhao Zhongshu, Peifang was holding flowers, and Yufen was carrying fruit and followed the nurse's instructions to the ward.The guard at the door of the ward had seen the two of them before, stood up respectfully and opened the door to invite Yufen and Peifang to enter.Yufen raised her eyebrows at Peifang, and said in a low voice: "You see what I said is right, Lao Zhao's official is really impressive. A few days ago, I also followed someone to see a sick chief executive, or In the ward downstairs, there is no guard in front of the door. It’s just that there are more people coming and going. You can’t come here to visit patients without an appointment. Didn’t you see that from the stairs to the ward, flowers are full. Old Zhao The power in Shanghai, think for yourself."

Peifang couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "You're right, I'm regretting it now. If so, Qing Qiuyang, the girl I introduced to Old Zhao would be unsuitable. She lost her father and lived with her mother and brother. Barely going to middle school After graduating, her brother worked under Feng Ju. The only thing he could do was look good. His family background is all floating clouds. You didn't remind me, I already told the woman's family." Pei Fang complained a little Looking at Yufen, she came to talk about the blind date with Zhao Zhongshu. Qingqiu and Bai Shaoyi are very popular, and they came forward to introduce the blind date for Zhao Zhongshu.So relatives are also willing to help.

"I wanted to help introduce it before, but after hearing the words of a few well-informed people, I was too scared to do anything. They are serious students who graduated from foreign military academies, and they also worked as teachers in military academies. The leader has always been the closest. In the past, the Minister of Military Aircraft could enter the palace to counsel the military aircraft at any time. Can the flowers and plants we introduce catch people's eyes? He naturally has high vision. If not, why are you single until now? Have you? This work is better than helping Qingqiu’s cousin find a good marriage. I think she is not bad, but her background is mediocre, and she might be a little out of place in Shanghai. But ordinary people don’t need to marry a wife who can communicate.” Yufen Talking to Peifang in a low voice, while pushing the door inside.

The two of them glanced at the situation inside and immediately smiled ambiguously, "Oh, it's very unfortunate that we came here, Lao Zhao, let's go first and don't disturb you." Yufen and Peifang looked at each other as if to Close the door and leave.

Zhao Zhongshu saw that it was Yufen and Peifang, and smiled slightly, his expression as usual: "You guys like to joke around, thank you two wives for coming to visit me."

On the other hand, Song Xiuzhi listened to Yufen's joking words, she was stunned for a moment, and then her face turned red when she understood the meaning of Yufen's words.She immediately stood up, twisting the corner of her clothes, not knowing what to say.Peifang was worried that Yufen's indiscretions would offend others, so she teased her secretly: "You're joking again, Qingqiu's cousin is thin-skinned and you still say that, be careful that Qingqiu will settle accounts with you if she finds out." Yufen Fen said with a smile: "Qingqiu won't be angry with me for this anymore. Your name is Xiuzhi. Don't stand there. I've always been ignorant." Without expression, she knew that Zhao Zhongshu didn't like Xiuzhi, so she changed the subject without showing any signs, and pulled Peifang forward to greet Zhao Zhongshu. "We came to see you today. It was all caused by Qingqiu. She said that you were alone in Shanghai, and Yihan couldn't get away to see you. She was worried that you would be bored in the ward and asked us to come and see you often. She said that Qingqiu is careful. She is worried about what to do if the doctors and nurses do not take good care of you alone. We often visit you and save you from loneliness. In fact, I said that those people are here, where we can be used. But Qingqiu said that all the servants in your family can’t talk about it. Those guards are all men and can take care of others? She has a lot of things to do, so please invite us to come and have a look. By the way, some good servants will introduce you to you. Speaking of which, I have a few good servants to recommend to you. Mrs. Zhang’s family is going to Nanjing University, and her cook is good, how about I introduce it to you?”

Zhao Zhongshu lay on the bed, and said very politely: "Thank you for your trouble, I don't have many servants at home, just cleaning. I don't need so many servants by myself. But those of you who are wives, it takes a few actions. Personally serve, if there are any good servants, let’s keep them for ourselves.”

Yufen and Peifang sat on the sofa next to the wall, and asked about Zhao Zhongshu's physical condition. Yufen was a quick talker, chatting about the latest Shanghai news for everyone.Song Xiuzhi also sat on a chair far away, silently peeling fruit with a fruit knife.

Peifang looked at Song Xiuzhi's silent side face, and said with a smile: "I found out that Qingqiu, a cousin, looks very similar to her. At first glance, she looks like a real sister. You have been studying for a few years. Are you coming to Shanghai to further your studies? Which school did you take the exam? Why are you here today?"

Xiuzhi blushed, and said in a low voice: "I went to middle school at home. My aunt came to see my cousin and brought me here to see the world. I'm not very smart. How can I get into a university in Shanghai? But my cousin is the one who really reads. I don’t understand more than half of the books she reads every day. These days Yuanyuan and Xiaozhu have to go to school, and my cousin has to send their children to school. I can’t bear to look at her I went back and forth with her to take care of Mr. Zhao's errand, and I will go home later, cousin Qingqiu picked up Xiaozhu and Yuanyuan and came to pick me up." Song Xiuzhi was busy with Zhao because of Yufen's joke Loyalty draws the line.

Yufen listened to Song Xiuzhi's words and smiled, but said nothing.In her opinion, Zhao Zhong is homeless everywhere. A few days ago, he heard a few wives from Nanjing gossip about the current celebrities. This Mr. Zhao has quite a few golden homes in Wuhan and Nanjing.It's just that none of those women can come to the surface.Qingqiu is a smart person, she won't watch her cousin jump in. "Your cousins ​​still have a good relationship. You should go out when you come to Shanghai. I think your cousin doesn't have time to go out with you. I'll accompany you when I'm free." Song Xiuzhi stood up timidly, and thanked Yu Fern.

Everyone was chatting for a while, and then they heard the voice of a child talking, Xiaozhu and Yuan Yuan jumped in and called, "Uncle Zhao, are you feeling well? Do you still need an injection?" Qingqiu followed behind the child, Unlike usual, her eyes were rolling around today, with a faint joy on her face.Peifang looked at Qingqiu: "Why have you lost a lot of weight, and you are in good spirits." Yufen looked at Qingqiusheng and said with a smile: "Let me guess, there must be good news."

Qingqiu said to Xiaozhu who was about to climb onto the bed: "Come down, don't touch your Uncle Zhao's wound." Yuan Yuan immediately pulled his younger brother down nervously, and the two children guarded the side of the bed cautiously, their faces not daring to breathe , They held their breath and said cautiously: "Uncle Zhao, is your wound still hurting? It's not bleeding." Yuan Yuan looked at the adhesive plaster on the back of Zhao Zhongshu's hand, and immediately frowned: "Oh, I still need an injection. Just blow it to Uncle Zhao." Yuan Yuanzhen puffed his mouth, and carefully blew into Zhao Zhongshu's hand, and said softly, "Just blow it, it doesn't hurt or it doesn't hurt, baby !"

Everyone couldn't help laughing at Yuan Yuan taking care of the doll. Qingqiu sat down beside Peifang and looked at the child with a smile: "Your Uncle Zhao will not be as delicate as you, didn't you say that you prepared it specially for Uncle Zhao?" A gift? Take it out." Yuan Yuan immediately turned to look through her schoolbag: "I drew a condolence card in art class and gave it to Uncle Zhao."

Yufen over there is holding on to Qingqiu: "Don't be tricky, don't try to hide it from me, what's the good thing?" They plan to come back next week." Although Qingqiu didn't look particularly happy, the corners of her eyes and brows were uncontrollably beaming with joy.

Yufen and Peifang both congratulated Qingqiu: "That's it, you can be regarded as a family reunion, don't be sad all day long, I feel uncomfortable and panic when I look at it. You husband and wife have never been separated for so long Time, this time my cousin came back, but Xiao Biesheng was newly married. By the way, how was the result of the negotiation?"

Qingqiu cast a coquettish glance at Yufen's teasing: "You just talk nonsense in front of the child, wait until the day I see your Hesun to see how I ask him. Of course we won the negotiation, and the overwhelming majority called Japan is returning to the Northeast." Qingqiu's face did not show any joy, she frowned slightly and sighed: "Hey, when have you ever seen someone who can spit out the fat that has been eaten."

Peifang sighed helplessly: "I think not only Northeast China but also North China are in danger. Fengju is going to Peking again this month."

With a bang, the storybook in Zhao Zhongshu's hand fell to the ground. Little Pig hurriedly picked it up and put it in Zhao Zhongshu's hand: "The story is not finished yet." Zhao Zhongshu was leaning on the pillow to give the child When telling a story, it may be that the book was dropped on the ground because of the lack of energy in the hand after recovering from a serious illness.

Qingqiu frowned slightly, and came over to call Yuanyuan and Xiaozhu away: "It seems that we have disturbed your rest, and your complexion is not good these days. I think it's better to ask a good Chinese medicine doctor to take care of you. I will take care of you today. I came here to tell you that Shaoyi will be back, and you must have a good drink when he comes back. How can you drink to your heart's content like this. I called Yihan today, and she said that she just came from the countryside Come back and come over to see you tomorrow." Qingqiu stretched out his hand to adjust the pillow behind Zhao Zhongshu, his face was full of concern.

"That's good news. I'm lying on the bed and I'm exhausted. I'm a hard worker by nature. After lying down for a few days, I feel like rust. I'm almost fine. I don't need any doctors. Thank you very much. For your care these days, I will go home to recuperate tomorrow, and you don’t have to run back and forth anymore. My illness this time has made everyone tired. I should treat you well in a few days, thank you for your care.” Zhao Zhongshu looked sincere, his words were sincere, and the gratitude between his words was beyond words.He nodded to Qingqiu, and then said to Peifang and Yufen who were on the side: "It's time for labor, I can't lie in the hospital anymore, and it's really ruining my life to cause you to come to see me every few days. ah."

"We're all old friends, why are you talking so strangely? Qingqiu, let's go together, don't disturb Lao Zhao's rest." Pei Fang smiled and stood up, pulling Yufen and Zhao Zhongshu to leave.Qingqiu wanted Quan Zhao Zhongshu not to leave the hospital in a hurry, but seeing his resolute face, he had no choice but to swallow the words of persuasion, take his children and cousin and leave.Zhao Zhongshu really went home to recuperate the next day, but he did not refuse the servants introduced by Qingqiu.Zhao Yihan rushed to Shanghai quickly. Did she stay to take care of Zhao Zhongshu for a few days?

The resolution of the League of Nations condemning Japan was quickly published in the newspapers, and public opinion suddenly became relaxed.Many people think that as long as the League of Nations comes forward, the lost land can be returned.Qingqiu didn't agree with those optimistic voices. Many relatives and friends came to congratulate Qingqiu. There was even news that Bai Shaoyi would be able to work in the legal department after Bai Shaoyi came back. Some even said that Bai Shaoyi was going to come back to join the Supreme Court.Qingqiu just smiled and said nothing to these words, Qingqiu was more concerned about Bai Shaoyi's safety about her husband's official career.

Ever since Mr. Li kidnapped Yuan Yuan to blackmail Qingqiu last time, Qingqiu deeply felt the danger of the situation for the first time, and a lot of people are still immersed in the blind optimism of passing by.Qingqiu couldn't help feeling a little worried. Once Japan refused to return the land it occupied, the war between China and Japan would rage. I really don't know how the family will deal with themselves.Although Qingqiu is worried about the future of the country, but after all Bai Shaoyi is coming back, her mind is fully occupied by the upcoming reunion of husband and wife.She wanted to tidy up Bai Shaoyi's things so that he could use them when he came back.

Although Bai Shaoyi's clothes are well packed in the box, they should be taken out to wash and dry after a long time. The kitchen has to buy Bai Shaoyi's favorite food, and Qingqiu even went to the basement to count his wine collection .See if you need to buy some more.

Mrs. Leng naturally wanted to help her daughter with housework. Seeing that Qingqiu was busy every day not only with housework but also with schoolwork, she took the initiative to take over the task of taking the children to school every day. Qingqiu was worried that her mother would not trust Mrs. Leng Going out alone with the child, Xiuzhi and Mrs. Leng took the initiative to help Qingqiu pick up Yuanyuan and Xiaozhi to and from school.Although Qingqiu is busy every day, her heart is full. She will take a pen to make a date on the calendar at night, and calculate Bai Shaoyi's itinerary in her heart.

After finishing the housework and Song Xiuzhi's marriage, Qingqiu has to help Xiuzhi plan her life.After getting along for a few days, Qingqiu felt that Xiuzhi had a gentle personality. Although she didn't study much, she was a quiet and gentle person.But being a good wife and mother is also a rare talent, so Qingqiu finds some free time to talk to Mrs. Leng about Xiuzhi's marriage.

"I've been thinking about what my mother told me these days. There is a good candidate for Peifang. The boy has no father at home and only follows his mother and sister. He works in the company of the young master of the Jin family and is also a university student. After graduation, although the family is not rich, it is still passable. His sister is also talking about others, and the population of the family will be simple in the future. The most rare thing is that he is from our hometown. We live together and have a good temper. I think my mother will talk to Xiuzhi first. , if she wants to meet, I've made an agreement with Peifang over there, how about an appointment?" Since hearing Yufen's words and seeing Zhao Zhongshu's momentum, Peifang also introduced Zhao Zhongshu to a blind date in the media The subject's words.But since meeting Xiuzhi, Peifang has been very enthusiastic to help Xiuzhi introduce Fengju's young people.

Since it was introduced by the eldest mistress of the Jin family, it should be good. I think she and the third mistress of the Jin family are enthusiastic people.A few days ago, your sister-in-law came to see me and told me that she would help Xiuzhi find a suitable candidate in the government department.I see that all of you relatives and friends are excellent people, so I am relieved.I'm going to ask Xiuzhi tonight. This kid has a good personality and good looks, so I'm sure he can find a good family.Mrs. Leng thought about coming to Shanghai by herself, and met many relatives and friends of the Bai family.Both Bai Xiongqi's family and the Jin's family are very close and friendly, Mrs. Leng used to worry that the relatives and friends of the Bai family were either rich or noble, if they looked down on Qingqiu's background, how good would it be to bully her.Seeing that Qingqiu is getting along well with the relatives and friends of the Bai family, she is relieved.

"Mom, don't worry, the fate of marriage also depends on fate. Let the cousin make up her own mind. In fact, I don't think the one introduced by Peifang is the best. First, he grew up with his mother, a widowed mother and only son. The daughter-in-law is more likely to be angry. The second is that he runs business with the uncle over there, and stays in Peiping for five or six months a year. It is not good for a husband and wife to get together and stay away. I think my cousin is a material for studying. If she can If you find an enlightened family, you may still be able to go to school. Although she is not pointed out to go to school and work to support the family, it is a good thing for a girl to study more. Mom, what do you think?" Qingqiu has a deeper and more comprehensive view of marriage. On Zhi's marriage, she saw things more comprehensively than before.

"Oh, you silly boy, you think that everyone is as lucky as you, and found a son-in-law like Shao Yi. You are different from your cousin, and I am not a girl who praises myself. Xiuzhi is much stronger. Although Xiuzhi is good-looking, she is too soft. She has no opinions. The important thing for a woman is to be clear in her heart and not to be confused." Mrs. Leng has her own opinions.

Qingqiu suddenly thought of something, she looked around: "Why didn't you see Xiuzhi? She just came to Shanghai and didn't know her place well." Mrs. Leng thought about it: "She went out with Yuan Yuan Xiaoyu, you forgot that today is Yuan Yuan Yuan is going to some kind of children's tea party. I was worried, so I asked Xiuzhi to follow."

"Mom, don't do this again. Xiuzhi is a guest and you can't ask her to do things all the time. Yuanyuan is going to Mr. Meili's boss's house. Yuanyuan often goes there to play. They are a group of children of the same age. Your name is Xiu How embarrassing it is for Zhi to go." Xie Yushu's boss is a true American, and their son and Yuan Yuan have always played well.

Mrs. Leng pursed her mouth and frowned, "You've taught me a lesson. I'm worried about what to do if Yuan Yuan and Xiao Zhu are bullied at the foreign devil's house!"

"It's uncomfortable because Xiuzhu's English is not good." Qingqiu expressed a headache for how much his mother doted on Yuanyuan and Xiaozhu.

"Mom, we're back!" Yuan Yuan and Xiao Zhu's voices came from outside, Qing Qiu and Mrs. Leng hurriedly got up, but found that Zhao Zhongshu and Xiuzhi came in after Yuan Yuan and Xiao Zhu.

Qingqiu looked at Zhao Zhongshu with some surprises. Zhao Zhongshu hadn't been to Bai's house since he recovered, but Zhao Yihan came a few times. She complained to Qingqiu about her brother's weird temper, and said fiercely: "What a man!" Bad-tempered tyrant, none of you should help him introduce his girlfriend, he deserves to be single for the rest of his life." Qingqiu thought about Zhao Zhongshu's illness, it is inevitable that he has a bad temper, and it is inevitable that his brother and sister have different personalities and some quarrels.Qingqiu didn't take it seriously, and just persuaded Zhao Yihan a few words.Suddenly saw Zhao Zhongshu coming to the door today, Qingqiu smiled and said: "You haven't come for a while, I thought you and Yihan were angry and even I complained, and refused to come to the door. What a coincidence, you are at the door I met you." Qingqiu turned to Xiuzhi, with a smile on her lips.

Unexpectedly, Song Xiuzhi's face turned red when she heard Qingqiu's words. She hesitated and did not open her mouth, but Yuan Yuan said triumphantly from the side: "No, Uncle Zhao and Aunt Zhao went on a date! They are waiting for the end of the tea party at Edward's house." He came to pick me and my brother home."

Xiuzhi's face turned red immediately, and she was so ashamed that she wanted to find a crack in the ground to sneak in. Qingqiu looked at Zhao Zhongshu and then at Xiuzhi with some surprise, no matter how she looked at it, she felt that these two people were not very suitable for standing together.But seeing Xiuzhi's expression and Zhao Zhongshu's calm expression, she couldn't help but believe in the authenticity of Yuan Yuan's words.

Mrs. Leng was the most shocked person. She stared at her niece, and after a while she came back to her senses: "What's going on?" Xiuzhi has been by her side these days since she came to Shanghai, how did she get into trouble with Zhao Zhongshu?For Xiuzhi and Zhao Zhongshu to be together, Mrs. Leng disagreed from the bottom of her heart. Zhao Zhongshu's identity is too special, and the two people's family backgrounds are too different. Qi Dafei, Xiuzhi really married Zhao Zhongshu would definitely not have a good life.Besides, Xiuzhi was by her side these days, and in one afternoon she had a private life with a man whom she only met a few times. The old-fashioned Mrs. Leng was not satisfied with this.

Zhao Zhongshu looked as usual, as if he usually said that the weather was good today, and announced to Qingqiu and Mrs. Leng: "I have formally proposed to Miss Song, and she has agreed. I am ready to plan the wedding."

Yuan Yuan and Xiao Zhu booed beside him: "Oh, Uncle Zhao and Aunt Zhao are getting married, Aunt Zhao is going to be a bride, let's be flower girls!"

Qingqiu has been observing Xiuzhi's expression, Xiuzhi's face is flushed with embarrassment, but there is sweetness in the corners of her eyes and brows.She felt Qingqiu's inquiring eyes, raised her head shyly and nodded seriously to her cousin.
