Golden Pink Building
Chapter 53
As soon as Minzhi's words came out, everyone stared at Xiao Lian. Xiao Lian was uncomfortable being watched, twisting the ends of her long braided hair and twisting her body: "Miss Fifth will make fun of our girl, I will follow Miss Ba What does it look like around you?"
Daozhi didn't take it seriously: "I don't think Xiaolian looks like a girl at all. When we were in our house, no one took you as a servant. If you say that Xiaolian dresses up and stands out, who will know that she is a girl?" It’s not bad for you to accompany Bamei! Although we all want to go to the wedding of the Tang family, but think about it, Qingqiu’s cousin sister-in-law and we all have our own entertainment, and no one can accompany Bamei exclusively. You go It's just right, people don't know you, at most it's just a small talk, and you can always be by Bamei's side. She was spoiled and spoiled, she is very powerful at home, she is a rat carrying a gun in the den, and she becomes shy when she goes out Yes. You are by Mei Li’s side, and it’s not in vain that Mei Li has been sticking to you and playing with you before. No one will expose your identity again.” Mei Li heard that her sister was helping her to speak, and she was very happy. Looking at Xiaolian with a pitiful expression: "Xiaolian, you must help me because of the previous relationship. Could it be that you are worried that Qingqiu will not be happy? Cousin Qingqiu, I can take Xiaolian to the Tang family together Is it?"
"Xiao Lian is still your sister-in-law's girl, she just came to help me for a few days. You still go back and ask sister-in-law, as long as she is willing, I have nothing to say." Qingqiu always thinks that Minzhi's sisters' ideas are a bit wrong It's reliable, if Xiaolian's identity is exposed, the Tang family will not be able to hold back.How can anyone ask a servant to visit someone else's house?Even though Jin Quan was the prime minister, the Tang family didn't dare to say anything, but such negligence is always bad.Qingqiu first persuaded them to stop, but after all, it was their business, Qingqiu could not object.
Runzhi became interested, grabbed Xiaolian and looked him up and down: "Biao sister-in-law Qingqiu is really kind to you, these clothes are new and haven't been worn a few times. That means she is willing to give you new clothes."
Qingqiu pointed to the clothes on Xiaolian's body and said: "It's all my old clothes. I only wore them a few times when I made them. I wear school uniforms in school. I'm waiting to go to college. It's not easy to wear them too conspicuously. The material of the clothes is not too conspicuous. It's not bad. I bought the material with my mother. The old man likes bright colors, so I followed her idea. I don't dress up very much at home. I only wore it a few times, and I can't wear it now. It's gone. It's better to give it to the girls than to leave it for nothing."
"Sure enough, in fact, although the materials Qingqiu chose are bright, they are not tacky. Elegant colors are fashionable now, but the bright red and green ones were wiped out before and they are too tacky. It's just that the old ladies are still old-fashioned. I saw my mother tidying up the cabinet yesterday. , and there are quite a lot of brightly colored clothes. If Xiaolian goes, this outfit is a bit too bright, and your hair should also be changed. Either comb it into a bun, or simply cut it short. Nowadays, except for the girl Who still has a big braid. I want to go to the barber shop in Dongjiaomin Lane to have my hair trimmed. Which one of you will go with me? Xiaolian, you can go with us." Daozhi pointed at Xiaolian's dress from head to toe, she Suddenly talking about cutting hair, Minzhi and Runzhi responded immediately: "We'll go too, the hair is too long and it's a waste of time to get up in the morning."
A few girls dragged Xiaolian away to get her hair cut, Qingqiu sent Daozhi and the others out, and asked Mama Zhang to give Xiaolian a few dollars, and told her to come back by car.Watching Dao Zhi's group get into the car and leave, when Qing Qiu returned, he saw Xiu Zhu holding a book and flipping through it absent-mindedly.
Reaching out to take the book in Xiuzhu's hand, Qingqiu scanned the gold-plated letters on the back of the book: "Sister Xiuzhu has improved in learning, and you can read your brother's original law book with great interest. It's all about criminal cases. You don’t feel scared when you see someone who either kills or sets fire?” Xiuzhu has always been a little absent-minded, Qingqiu joked that Xiuzhu was sitting beside her.
Xiuzhu looked at Qingqiu helplessly, frowned and said worriedly: "Sister-in-law Qingqiu, I suddenly don't know what's wrong. Yes." Xiuzhu snuggled up beside Qingqiu, with a look of concern on her face, Qingqiu pushed Xiuzhu and said with a smile: "I think it's because Yanxi suddenly treats you better after drinking in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs last time, don't you just think The most important thing is to reconcile with Yanxi, what is there to be dissatisfied with seeking benevolence now?"
"It's really a waste of talents if you don't study law with brother Shaoyi. Could it be that you can see through other people's minds? How do you know? My sister-in-law must have whispered something to you. I knew it a long time ago. She She always makes sneaky phone calls, and hangs up when she sees me coming back. Yanxi suddenly becomes indifferent to Zhao Yihan, and often invites me out for tea or something. It's funny, I was so sad that I was going to die because of Zhao Yihan, but now I suddenly find that even if Yanxi is still with Zhao Yihan or other women, I am not as sad as before. Sister-in-law Qingqiu, tell me, am I Have you changed your mind? Don't like Yanxi anymore?" Xiuzhu looked at the distance in confusion, she was wearing a white dress, sitting on the sofa with her knees hugged, her long hair was tied down in curls, her whole body was exquisite as if Doll Qingqiu sighed silently, Xiuzhu and Yanxi grew up together, they are really childhood sweethearts, they always have feelings for each other.Why didn't I put Baoyu in my heart at the beginning, in fact, she and Xiuzhu now have made this kind of feeling into a habit, they only say to follow the inertia and go forward in love.Waiting to wake up suddenly, you will definitely be confused.Fortunately, Xiuzhu didn't wake up until she fell into the quagmire where she couldn't see the future. She was just not so lucky, and she didn't realize it until she swallowed her last breath.In Daiyu's heart, Baoyu is the first and only one, but unfortunately in Baoyu's heart, she is not the first, nor is she the only one.Yanxi must have feelings for Xiuzhu, but compared to her deep love for Xiuzhu, Yanxi's feelings are weak and pitiful.
"What is sister-in-law thinking? How should I face Yanxi?" Xiuzhu interrupted Qingqiu's distraction, eagerly asking Qingqiu for advice. "That depends on your heart. Does Yanxi understand his own intentions? If it is the same as before, Yanxi just coaxed you casually, but you are serious. Without Zhao Yihan, there will be other women appearing, From now on, you will be so confused?"
"I'm also worried about this. Yanxi invited me to play in Xishan Mountain tomorrow." Xiuzhu hugged the soft cushion on the sofa, absently twisting the tassels on it.
"Oh, so that's the case. I just said, you also accepted the invitation from the Tang family. You are not sure whether to go to the Tang family or go out with Yanxi. What kind of invitation will the Tang family send you? Their young lady is getting married. If For the sake of big brother, just invite sister-in-law. Their young lady doesn’t know you, so she will send you an invitation card for whatever reason! Their second son is actually pretty good.” Qingqiu’s words went on, Xiuzhu’s face couldn’t be restrained Red: "Sister-in-law, I'm serious about saying this to you as someone you can entrust, and you just take me to be happy. You are all necrotic, and I will never talk to you again!" Xiuzhu was said With something on his mind, he couldn't hold back his face.
"Don't be annoyed, what I said is serious. In fact, Mr. Tang is also good, you might as well try it out this time." Qingqiu whispered in Xiuzhu's ear, giving tips face to face.
Tang Shusheng, the master of the Tang family, is a member of the National Assembly. He has extensive contacts in the political and business circles, and he is also well-known in the education field.The day when the daughter of his family came out of the cabinet was naturally full of guests, and celebrities from the political and business circles in the capital all came to congratulate him.
Mrs. Bai did not go for an excuse, Qingqiu was about to shoulder the responsibility of the Bai family, and came to congratulate her.Seeing Qingqiu's arrival, the people of the Tang family were very enthusiastic. First, they greeted Madam Tang attentively, presented gifts, exchanged pleasantries, and invited Qingqiu to rest. , The house of the Tang family is very big, and the female guests are separated from the male guests. The female guests are arranged in the garden at the back. When Qingqiu was invited to the backyard, he saw a big wisteria flower stand. The dining table made of tables was covered with a snow-white tablecloth, and exquisite meals and drinks were placed on it.The young ladies of the Jin family had gone there for a long time, Qingqiu scanned the crowd and saw Xiuzhu talking to a man in a suit.From Qingqiu's perspective, she could only see the boy's back, but it shouldn't be Yanxi.Looking at the faint blush on Xiuzhu's face, Qingqiu secretly smiled and thought that perhaps Xiuzhu was so attracted to the second son of the Tang family.
"Qingqiu, I look like you from afar. Tell me to take a look, alas, being a wife is different from before." Professor Hu's wife came out from nowhere, and pulled her up and down to look up and down: "You I moved away from school, and I still miss you. In this place, there are not many people I can talk to. In school, I think you are a talkative person. Are you still used to being a daughter-in-law? Mother-in-law is easy to get along with Huh?" Mrs. Hu spoke quickly, and with her southern accent, many people could not understand what she said.In addition, she has a straightforward temper, and sometimes she can't cover her mouth, which often makes people uncomfortable. Her husband, Professor Hu, is well-educated and has a gentle personality. However, Mrs. Hu is blind and doesn't know a few words. Although the wives of the professors who have read the book greeted Mrs. Hu face-to-face, the meaning of contempt could still be revealed from their words and deeds.
But Qingqiu didn't show disgust in front of Mrs. Hu, but respected her very much, so Mrs. Hu liked Qingqiu very much.The two chose a quiet place to sit and talk.Mrs. Hu first expressed her opinions on the Tang family's wedding and the bride and groom, and then she said Qingqiu: "I heard the news that you and Mr. Bai got married, and I still think that we will be neighbors in the future. I heard that you are moving out Stay, I'm still a little disappointed. But now it seems that you'd better live outside, I don't understand, those people are like mad dogs, angry and laughing, talking behind their backs. You live outside and your ears are clean .”
Qingqiu was very surprised by Mrs. Hu's words. Ever since she married Bai Shaoyi, Qingqiu still went to school every day, and her classmates and professors had the same attitude towards her as before, except that Chu Huan's close friends occasionally saw Bai Shaoyi from a distance in the school, and Qingqiu made a joke or something, the rest is still the same as before.Why did Mrs. Hu say that someone was talking about her behind her back?
Although Qingqiu knew that she cared about those gossips, she was just looking for trouble.But Qingqiu has always been sensitive, she thought about it for a long time, but she really couldn't figure out who else would talk about her behind her back besides Zhao Yihan?Seeing Qingqiu's confused face, Mrs. Hu said angrily: "You say it's ridiculous. Recently, some people said that the bad example of teachers falling in love with students and abandoning their wives was started by your Mr. Bai. Some people even said that you —Forget it. I heard the scolding in anger."
Qingqiu suddenly understood, she didn't expect how she and Bai Shaoyi became the vixen who ruined the family and the heartless man who abandoned his wife.Qingqiu laughed angrily: "There is nothing wrong with wanting to commit a crime. I really don't know who provoked those people. Thank you, Mrs. Hu, for helping me speak. In fact, such villains like to gossip. They have common sense, so they don’t have to be mad at themselves. The turbid ones are turbid, and the clear ones are pure. It’s just a bit of chewing, and when time passes, they will chase other things like flies.” Bai Shaoyi is single and pursues Qingqiu was upright, even though they were teachers and students, they did not do anything beyond the rules, but they were arranged for a meal, and Qingqiu and Bai Shaoyi suffered an indiscriminate disaster.
"You don't know this. Your marriage with Professor Bai has aroused many people's thoughts. Not only our school, but some teachers in other schools have always been entangled with female students. However, the elders in the family have already married him. I have a daughter-in-law, and I dare not talk about divorce because of my elders and filial piety. Now that your marriage is in front of you, I am a little bit tempted. Although you are all professors’ wives, some people worry that their husbands will follow suit. , They dare not argue with their husbands, so they can only vent their anger on you." Mrs. Hu patted Qingqiu comfortingly: "Everyone knows the character of your husband and wife." Listening to Mrs. Hu's words, Qingqiu could only sigh with emotion. Baochai said that some people may become worse when they study, and today it seems that this is true.Those who were tempted to abandon their wives desperately made excuses for themselves, and those wives who were afraid of being abandoned just vented their anger indiscriminately. She and Bai Shaoyi could only lie down.
"Mrs. Bai, I didn't expect us to meet again. By the way, I'm going to Shanghai tomorrow. Do you have anything to tell David, oh, is it Shao Yi?" Zhao Yihan held a parasol in his hand and smiled Turning out from behind the rockery, she seemed to have heard everything Qingqiu and Mrs. Hu said.
Qingqiu was stunned immediately, for the first time she deeply felt that this world is not perfect, in the past, that girl would definitely be regarded as a nymphomaniac if she said such a thing.Even an actor advocating excellence can no longer say such shameless words.But this Zhao Yihan still said it confidently, as if she was Bai Shaoyi's wife and Qingqiu had become a lover.
"You girl, what do you mean by inquiring about the private rooms of the young man-machine couple? Let's go, maybe the host is busy arranging his daughter's marriage and is confused, and invites everyone to be a guest. I wanted to find someone Talking in a quiet place, who would have met a lunatic. Let's go." Mrs. Hu came to her senses first, she pulled Qingqiu, raised her head and ignored Zhao Yihan.
Qingqiu walked a few steps before recalling it, she didn't expect Zhao Yihan to be like this - Qingqiu couldn't even find words to describe this woman.She despises herself, but Qingqiu can't hold on to her status, and doesn't want to argue with her.Although Zhao Yihan was stabbed a few times by Mrs. Hu, and she also knew that even if Zhao Yihan went to Shanghai, Bai Shaoyi would be fine, but Qingqiu's heart was still a little flustered. "Who is that person? She has a vixen face. As soon as Mr. Bai of your family left, she came out to avoid you? The Tang family is really strange. What do you want this woman to do? A woman like this in our hometown will be pretended Dip in the pond in the pig cage." Even though Mrs. Hu didn't know Zhao Yihan, with her keen intuition, she could still detect that the person who came was not kind.
Qingqiu said vaguely: "That was Shaoyi's classmate in Europe before. She must have been infected with the open atmosphere of foreign countries when she studied abroad. Thank you sister-in-law for helping me out. It's getting late, let's go to congratulate the master."
"What is the openness of foreign countries? Although I have never been to a foreign country, my husband also has many foreign friends. They came to my house and I entertained them. Women who know foreign books and etiquette are professors themselves, or professors. Ladies and gentlemen, like our serious women, they treat others with a kind and gentle manner. Except that they look and dress differently from us, and they have to hug and kiss their cheeks when they meet, the rest are also very reserved. How can this woman be like this? Like a bitch in heat, she will jump on a man regardless of whether he has a family or not. I hate this kind of woman. I have studied for several years and drank foreign ink. As a result, foreigners have not learned the good things, but they are bad. I have learned everything." Mrs. Hu vented all her grievances through Zhao Yihan.Qingqiu had heard Shaoyi's gossip about Professor Hu once having a female student he admired, and she was a little bit emotional.She just smiled and pretended to be confused and let Mrs. Hu vent.
Except for Zhao Yihan's sudden support for Qingqiu, this visit went smoothly. I heard Mei Li from the Jin family say that their elder brother Fengju seemed to be less interested in Xiaolian these days, and he didn't go home all day.Qingqiu guessed that the problem of Fengju and his wife had been resolved, so she called Xiufang first to test her tone.As expected, Xiufang's tone on the phone was very relaxed, and Qingqiu sent Xiaolian back, but Xiaolian was a bit reluctant to part with her. Qingqiu spent the most comfortable days here in Qingqiu, Qingqiu not only didn't make things difficult for her, but also treated her very well. Give her the book to teach her how to read and write.But after all, he is the daughter of the youngest mistress, so she can't rely on relatives' house, so Xiao Lian reluctantly got in the car and went home.
Bai Shaoyi is not at home, Qingqiu finds that life is a bit boring, the whole sky seems to be missing something.In addition, Xiuzhu once confirmed from the side that Zhao Yihan is indeed returning to Shanghai. Even if Qingqiu believes that Bai Shaoyi will not rekindle his old love for Zhao Yihan, he feels a little uncomfortable after all.On the one hand, Qingqiu was worried about whether Bai Shaoyi's lawsuit in Shanghai was going smoothly, and whether her daily life was a habit. Fortunately, Bai Shaoyi wrote to Qingqiu almost every day, and every detail was clearly written in the letter. From the progress of the lawsuit to the daily necessities of life, she wished she could She can write it even when she sneezes, and seeing Bai Shaoyi's rambunctious, lengthy letters, Qingqiu feels at ease.She also wrote back to Shao Yi every day, and the two of them passed on the letter, even though they couldn't meet each other, their relationship grew deeper.
Qingqiu mentioned the news of Zhao Yihan's going to Shanghai in the letter, but Bai Shaoyi replied disapprovingly, "Shanghai is famous and wealthy, and there are many young talents. Ms. Zhao must have no time to think about me, who was a yellow flower of yesterday. Besides, I am busy with the progress of the lawsuit all day long." , I have no time to care about the gossip outside, I just hope that the lawsuit will be successfully concluded and I can return to Beijing to reunite with you." Qingqiu couldn't help laughing when she read Bai Shaoyi's letter, is he showing his loyalty?Zhao Yihan's family is in Shanghai, and she went to Beijing first when she came back from abroad. It seems that she intends to reunite with Bai Shaoyi, but Luohua intends to be ruthless, and time has passed.Zhao Yihan probably figured it out, and went home determinedly.She is a very resourceful woman with a wealth of talents in Shanghai. She should be able to find a more suitable candidate soon.With Bai Shaoyi's guarantee, Qingqiu is completely at ease.
"Young Mistress, Madam called and said that she is not feeling well." Osmanthus came in in a hurry, interrupting Qingqiu's good mood. "Mother is sick, it's not serious, have you hired a doctor at home?" Qingqiu hurriedly got up, and Osmanthus said: "It's nothing serious, I asked the doctor to see it, and said it was a cold in the new season, rest for a few days and it will be fine. "Although Mrs. Bai's illness is not serious, Qingqiu still wants to go back and have a look.She was busy packing up her things and went back to the house in the city with Osmanthus fragrans.
The car quickly returned to the city, seeing Qingqiu getting off the car, it was Zhong Ma who came out to welcome her: "Young mistress is back, Madam has already asked the doctor to see her, and now she is lying on the sofa, Madam is even happier that young mistress is here. "
"Is mother better? What did the doctor say? I thought that my mother would like light food when she was sick. There are fresh vegetables outside the city. I asked Mama Zhang to prepare some. I put them in the car and called the kitchen later. Make some side dishes." Speaking of Qingqiu and entering the house, Zhong Ma said with a smile: "Young Mistress is still filial, especially bringing fresh vegetables. Although the weather is warm in spring, the vegetables are green and yellow."
"Qingqiu is here, and it's all because of Zhong Mama's fuss. I have a little cold, and I'll be fine after lying down for a few days. The doctor who will be hired here is also good." Mrs. Bai's illness is not serious, she is lying in the small living room under a blanket Holding a book on the sofa, seeing Qingqiu came back, half-sitting and talking to her.
Qingqiu greeted her mother-in-law's health, and then talked about Shaoyi's situation in Shanghai. Mrs. Bai smiled and listened: "You should pay attention to your health at school by yourself. There is nothing important at home. In fact, if you want to go back to your mother's house to see when you are free, just Go. They are all in the same city, why don't you go back and have a look?" Qingqiu said with a smile: "Mother Zhang and Osmanthus are very nice, and the service is very thoughtful. My mother likes to be quiet, and she doesn't want me to run back and forth to disturb She is quiet. My mother loves me, but I always have to talk to my mother when I go back to my mother's house. These days I simply live at home and stay with my mother. "
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were talking, when Madam Zhong came in and said, "Ma'am, Dr. Liu is here." Qingqiu knew that it was the doctor who came for a follow-up visit: "Why isn't it the old Dr. Clark? I haven't heard of this doctor before." The Bai family has a special private doctor. Doctor, Mrs. Bai just has a slight cold. In fact, as long as she rests for a few days, she can recover without medicine.Why is this doctor still rushing to the door for a follow-up visit?
Mrs. Bai said with a smile: "Although this Mrs. Liu Chunjiang is young and has just returned from a foreign country, she has good medical skills, a better attitude, and is patient and serious. Dr. Clark is well-known and has many patients every day. He personally recommends this doctor." Dr. Liu said that although Dr. Liu is young, he has excellent medical skills." Mama Zhong led in a very young doctor, wearing a suit and wearing round tortoiseshell glasses, with a dignified expression.Madam Bai stood up and said, "Doctor Liu is here, this is my daughter-in-law."
"We met once at the Tang family's wedding, but Mrs. Bai didn't see me. At that time you were talking to the eighth miss of the Jin family." Doctor Liu said, Qingqiu remembered that at the Tang family's wedding, This person appears to be a friend of the best man.Qingqiu greeted him with a smile: "It's really my blindness, I didn't recognize the doctor." As he said that, Liu Chunjiang seriously checked Mrs. Bai's body.Waiting for him to measure the blood pressure: "Your body is completely recovered. It is spring now, and the temperature changes greatly, so it is easy to catch a cold. I can prescribe some vitamins for you to prevent colds." Liu Chunjiang prescribed a prescription Madam Bai noticed that Liu Chunjiang's eyes glanced at Qingqiu from time to time.She deliberately handed the prescription to Qingqiu: "Look, my eyes are a bit blurred." Qingqiu was also shown by Liu Chunjiang, his whole body was hairy.She hurriedly found an excuse to go out and give Zhong Ma the prescription.
Mrs. Bai chatted with Liu Chunjiang and asked about his family and education. It turned out that Liu Chunjiang was the son of the director of the Ministry of Health and had just returned from studying in Germany.Mrs. Bai looked at Liu Chunjiang's speech and behavior did not look like a frivolous person, but why did he just stare at his daughter-in-law?
Liu Chunjiang and Mrs. Bai exchanged pleasantries for a while and said the things to pay attention to before leaving. Mrs. Bai asked Zhong Ma to take him out. Mrs. Bai listened to the sound outside, and it took a while to hear the sound of the door opening and closing.Then Qingqiu came in with a puzzled face, looked at Mrs. Bai hesitating to speak.Mrs. Bai gave Zhong Ma a wink, and Zhong Ma went out, leaving only the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the living room.Qingqiu said to her mother-in-law: "Just now, Doctor Liu asked me about Xiaolian from the Jin family. How did Doctor Liu know Xiaolian? What's going on?"
"Minzhi and the others have the temper of the young lady, and they don't care about it on a whim. It turned out to be good, and something happened. I thought Dr. Liu must have known Xiaolian's identity. Not only did he not dislike Xiaolian as a girl, but he was tempted. But this It's other people's business, we don't talk about it." Mrs. Bai was so smart that she immediately guessed the strangeness between them, and she also expressed her position by the way, she didn't want Qingqiu to intervene in the Jin family's affairs.
Daozhi didn't take it seriously: "I don't think Xiaolian looks like a girl at all. When we were in our house, no one took you as a servant. If you say that Xiaolian dresses up and stands out, who will know that she is a girl?" It’s not bad for you to accompany Bamei! Although we all want to go to the wedding of the Tang family, but think about it, Qingqiu’s cousin sister-in-law and we all have our own entertainment, and no one can accompany Bamei exclusively. You go It's just right, people don't know you, at most it's just a small talk, and you can always be by Bamei's side. She was spoiled and spoiled, she is very powerful at home, she is a rat carrying a gun in the den, and she becomes shy when she goes out Yes. You are by Mei Li’s side, and it’s not in vain that Mei Li has been sticking to you and playing with you before. No one will expose your identity again.” Mei Li heard that her sister was helping her to speak, and she was very happy. Looking at Xiaolian with a pitiful expression: "Xiaolian, you must help me because of the previous relationship. Could it be that you are worried that Qingqiu will not be happy? Cousin Qingqiu, I can take Xiaolian to the Tang family together Is it?"
"Xiao Lian is still your sister-in-law's girl, she just came to help me for a few days. You still go back and ask sister-in-law, as long as she is willing, I have nothing to say." Qingqiu always thinks that Minzhi's sisters' ideas are a bit wrong It's reliable, if Xiaolian's identity is exposed, the Tang family will not be able to hold back.How can anyone ask a servant to visit someone else's house?Even though Jin Quan was the prime minister, the Tang family didn't dare to say anything, but such negligence is always bad.Qingqiu first persuaded them to stop, but after all, it was their business, Qingqiu could not object.
Runzhi became interested, grabbed Xiaolian and looked him up and down: "Biao sister-in-law Qingqiu is really kind to you, these clothes are new and haven't been worn a few times. That means she is willing to give you new clothes."
Qingqiu pointed to the clothes on Xiaolian's body and said: "It's all my old clothes. I only wore them a few times when I made them. I wear school uniforms in school. I'm waiting to go to college. It's not easy to wear them too conspicuously. The material of the clothes is not too conspicuous. It's not bad. I bought the material with my mother. The old man likes bright colors, so I followed her idea. I don't dress up very much at home. I only wore it a few times, and I can't wear it now. It's gone. It's better to give it to the girls than to leave it for nothing."
"Sure enough, in fact, although the materials Qingqiu chose are bright, they are not tacky. Elegant colors are fashionable now, but the bright red and green ones were wiped out before and they are too tacky. It's just that the old ladies are still old-fashioned. I saw my mother tidying up the cabinet yesterday. , and there are quite a lot of brightly colored clothes. If Xiaolian goes, this outfit is a bit too bright, and your hair should also be changed. Either comb it into a bun, or simply cut it short. Nowadays, except for the girl Who still has a big braid. I want to go to the barber shop in Dongjiaomin Lane to have my hair trimmed. Which one of you will go with me? Xiaolian, you can go with us." Daozhi pointed at Xiaolian's dress from head to toe, she Suddenly talking about cutting hair, Minzhi and Runzhi responded immediately: "We'll go too, the hair is too long and it's a waste of time to get up in the morning."
A few girls dragged Xiaolian away to get her hair cut, Qingqiu sent Daozhi and the others out, and asked Mama Zhang to give Xiaolian a few dollars, and told her to come back by car.Watching Dao Zhi's group get into the car and leave, when Qing Qiu returned, he saw Xiu Zhu holding a book and flipping through it absent-mindedly.
Reaching out to take the book in Xiuzhu's hand, Qingqiu scanned the gold-plated letters on the back of the book: "Sister Xiuzhu has improved in learning, and you can read your brother's original law book with great interest. It's all about criminal cases. You don’t feel scared when you see someone who either kills or sets fire?” Xiuzhu has always been a little absent-minded, Qingqiu joked that Xiuzhu was sitting beside her.
Xiuzhu looked at Qingqiu helplessly, frowned and said worriedly: "Sister-in-law Qingqiu, I suddenly don't know what's wrong. Yes." Xiuzhu snuggled up beside Qingqiu, with a look of concern on her face, Qingqiu pushed Xiuzhu and said with a smile: "I think it's because Yanxi suddenly treats you better after drinking in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs last time, don't you just think The most important thing is to reconcile with Yanxi, what is there to be dissatisfied with seeking benevolence now?"
"It's really a waste of talents if you don't study law with brother Shaoyi. Could it be that you can see through other people's minds? How do you know? My sister-in-law must have whispered something to you. I knew it a long time ago. She She always makes sneaky phone calls, and hangs up when she sees me coming back. Yanxi suddenly becomes indifferent to Zhao Yihan, and often invites me out for tea or something. It's funny, I was so sad that I was going to die because of Zhao Yihan, but now I suddenly find that even if Yanxi is still with Zhao Yihan or other women, I am not as sad as before. Sister-in-law Qingqiu, tell me, am I Have you changed your mind? Don't like Yanxi anymore?" Xiuzhu looked at the distance in confusion, she was wearing a white dress, sitting on the sofa with her knees hugged, her long hair was tied down in curls, her whole body was exquisite as if Doll Qingqiu sighed silently, Xiuzhu and Yanxi grew up together, they are really childhood sweethearts, they always have feelings for each other.Why didn't I put Baoyu in my heart at the beginning, in fact, she and Xiuzhu now have made this kind of feeling into a habit, they only say to follow the inertia and go forward in love.Waiting to wake up suddenly, you will definitely be confused.Fortunately, Xiuzhu didn't wake up until she fell into the quagmire where she couldn't see the future. She was just not so lucky, and she didn't realize it until she swallowed her last breath.In Daiyu's heart, Baoyu is the first and only one, but unfortunately in Baoyu's heart, she is not the first, nor is she the only one.Yanxi must have feelings for Xiuzhu, but compared to her deep love for Xiuzhu, Yanxi's feelings are weak and pitiful.
"What is sister-in-law thinking? How should I face Yanxi?" Xiuzhu interrupted Qingqiu's distraction, eagerly asking Qingqiu for advice. "That depends on your heart. Does Yanxi understand his own intentions? If it is the same as before, Yanxi just coaxed you casually, but you are serious. Without Zhao Yihan, there will be other women appearing, From now on, you will be so confused?"
"I'm also worried about this. Yanxi invited me to play in Xishan Mountain tomorrow." Xiuzhu hugged the soft cushion on the sofa, absently twisting the tassels on it.
"Oh, so that's the case. I just said, you also accepted the invitation from the Tang family. You are not sure whether to go to the Tang family or go out with Yanxi. What kind of invitation will the Tang family send you? Their young lady is getting married. If For the sake of big brother, just invite sister-in-law. Their young lady doesn’t know you, so she will send you an invitation card for whatever reason! Their second son is actually pretty good.” Qingqiu’s words went on, Xiuzhu’s face couldn’t be restrained Red: "Sister-in-law, I'm serious about saying this to you as someone you can entrust, and you just take me to be happy. You are all necrotic, and I will never talk to you again!" Xiuzhu was said With something on his mind, he couldn't hold back his face.
"Don't be annoyed, what I said is serious. In fact, Mr. Tang is also good, you might as well try it out this time." Qingqiu whispered in Xiuzhu's ear, giving tips face to face.
Tang Shusheng, the master of the Tang family, is a member of the National Assembly. He has extensive contacts in the political and business circles, and he is also well-known in the education field.The day when the daughter of his family came out of the cabinet was naturally full of guests, and celebrities from the political and business circles in the capital all came to congratulate him.
Mrs. Bai did not go for an excuse, Qingqiu was about to shoulder the responsibility of the Bai family, and came to congratulate her.Seeing Qingqiu's arrival, the people of the Tang family were very enthusiastic. First, they greeted Madam Tang attentively, presented gifts, exchanged pleasantries, and invited Qingqiu to rest. , The house of the Tang family is very big, and the female guests are separated from the male guests. The female guests are arranged in the garden at the back. When Qingqiu was invited to the backyard, he saw a big wisteria flower stand. The dining table made of tables was covered with a snow-white tablecloth, and exquisite meals and drinks were placed on it.The young ladies of the Jin family had gone there for a long time, Qingqiu scanned the crowd and saw Xiuzhu talking to a man in a suit.From Qingqiu's perspective, she could only see the boy's back, but it shouldn't be Yanxi.Looking at the faint blush on Xiuzhu's face, Qingqiu secretly smiled and thought that perhaps Xiuzhu was so attracted to the second son of the Tang family.
"Qingqiu, I look like you from afar. Tell me to take a look, alas, being a wife is different from before." Professor Hu's wife came out from nowhere, and pulled her up and down to look up and down: "You I moved away from school, and I still miss you. In this place, there are not many people I can talk to. In school, I think you are a talkative person. Are you still used to being a daughter-in-law? Mother-in-law is easy to get along with Huh?" Mrs. Hu spoke quickly, and with her southern accent, many people could not understand what she said.In addition, she has a straightforward temper, and sometimes she can't cover her mouth, which often makes people uncomfortable. Her husband, Professor Hu, is well-educated and has a gentle personality. However, Mrs. Hu is blind and doesn't know a few words. Although the wives of the professors who have read the book greeted Mrs. Hu face-to-face, the meaning of contempt could still be revealed from their words and deeds.
But Qingqiu didn't show disgust in front of Mrs. Hu, but respected her very much, so Mrs. Hu liked Qingqiu very much.The two chose a quiet place to sit and talk.Mrs. Hu first expressed her opinions on the Tang family's wedding and the bride and groom, and then she said Qingqiu: "I heard the news that you and Mr. Bai got married, and I still think that we will be neighbors in the future. I heard that you are moving out Stay, I'm still a little disappointed. But now it seems that you'd better live outside, I don't understand, those people are like mad dogs, angry and laughing, talking behind their backs. You live outside and your ears are clean .”
Qingqiu was very surprised by Mrs. Hu's words. Ever since she married Bai Shaoyi, Qingqiu still went to school every day, and her classmates and professors had the same attitude towards her as before, except that Chu Huan's close friends occasionally saw Bai Shaoyi from a distance in the school, and Qingqiu made a joke or something, the rest is still the same as before.Why did Mrs. Hu say that someone was talking about her behind her back?
Although Qingqiu knew that she cared about those gossips, she was just looking for trouble.But Qingqiu has always been sensitive, she thought about it for a long time, but she really couldn't figure out who else would talk about her behind her back besides Zhao Yihan?Seeing Qingqiu's confused face, Mrs. Hu said angrily: "You say it's ridiculous. Recently, some people said that the bad example of teachers falling in love with students and abandoning their wives was started by your Mr. Bai. Some people even said that you —Forget it. I heard the scolding in anger."
Qingqiu suddenly understood, she didn't expect how she and Bai Shaoyi became the vixen who ruined the family and the heartless man who abandoned his wife.Qingqiu laughed angrily: "There is nothing wrong with wanting to commit a crime. I really don't know who provoked those people. Thank you, Mrs. Hu, for helping me speak. In fact, such villains like to gossip. They have common sense, so they don’t have to be mad at themselves. The turbid ones are turbid, and the clear ones are pure. It’s just a bit of chewing, and when time passes, they will chase other things like flies.” Bai Shaoyi is single and pursues Qingqiu was upright, even though they were teachers and students, they did not do anything beyond the rules, but they were arranged for a meal, and Qingqiu and Bai Shaoyi suffered an indiscriminate disaster.
"You don't know this. Your marriage with Professor Bai has aroused many people's thoughts. Not only our school, but some teachers in other schools have always been entangled with female students. However, the elders in the family have already married him. I have a daughter-in-law, and I dare not talk about divorce because of my elders and filial piety. Now that your marriage is in front of you, I am a little bit tempted. Although you are all professors’ wives, some people worry that their husbands will follow suit. , They dare not argue with their husbands, so they can only vent their anger on you." Mrs. Hu patted Qingqiu comfortingly: "Everyone knows the character of your husband and wife." Listening to Mrs. Hu's words, Qingqiu could only sigh with emotion. Baochai said that some people may become worse when they study, and today it seems that this is true.Those who were tempted to abandon their wives desperately made excuses for themselves, and those wives who were afraid of being abandoned just vented their anger indiscriminately. She and Bai Shaoyi could only lie down.
"Mrs. Bai, I didn't expect us to meet again. By the way, I'm going to Shanghai tomorrow. Do you have anything to tell David, oh, is it Shao Yi?" Zhao Yihan held a parasol in his hand and smiled Turning out from behind the rockery, she seemed to have heard everything Qingqiu and Mrs. Hu said.
Qingqiu was stunned immediately, for the first time she deeply felt that this world is not perfect, in the past, that girl would definitely be regarded as a nymphomaniac if she said such a thing.Even an actor advocating excellence can no longer say such shameless words.But this Zhao Yihan still said it confidently, as if she was Bai Shaoyi's wife and Qingqiu had become a lover.
"You girl, what do you mean by inquiring about the private rooms of the young man-machine couple? Let's go, maybe the host is busy arranging his daughter's marriage and is confused, and invites everyone to be a guest. I wanted to find someone Talking in a quiet place, who would have met a lunatic. Let's go." Mrs. Hu came to her senses first, she pulled Qingqiu, raised her head and ignored Zhao Yihan.
Qingqiu walked a few steps before recalling it, she didn't expect Zhao Yihan to be like this - Qingqiu couldn't even find words to describe this woman.She despises herself, but Qingqiu can't hold on to her status, and doesn't want to argue with her.Although Zhao Yihan was stabbed a few times by Mrs. Hu, and she also knew that even if Zhao Yihan went to Shanghai, Bai Shaoyi would be fine, but Qingqiu's heart was still a little flustered. "Who is that person? She has a vixen face. As soon as Mr. Bai of your family left, she came out to avoid you? The Tang family is really strange. What do you want this woman to do? A woman like this in our hometown will be pretended Dip in the pond in the pig cage." Even though Mrs. Hu didn't know Zhao Yihan, with her keen intuition, she could still detect that the person who came was not kind.
Qingqiu said vaguely: "That was Shaoyi's classmate in Europe before. She must have been infected with the open atmosphere of foreign countries when she studied abroad. Thank you sister-in-law for helping me out. It's getting late, let's go to congratulate the master."
"What is the openness of foreign countries? Although I have never been to a foreign country, my husband also has many foreign friends. They came to my house and I entertained them. Women who know foreign books and etiquette are professors themselves, or professors. Ladies and gentlemen, like our serious women, they treat others with a kind and gentle manner. Except that they look and dress differently from us, and they have to hug and kiss their cheeks when they meet, the rest are also very reserved. How can this woman be like this? Like a bitch in heat, she will jump on a man regardless of whether he has a family or not. I hate this kind of woman. I have studied for several years and drank foreign ink. As a result, foreigners have not learned the good things, but they are bad. I have learned everything." Mrs. Hu vented all her grievances through Zhao Yihan.Qingqiu had heard Shaoyi's gossip about Professor Hu once having a female student he admired, and she was a little bit emotional.She just smiled and pretended to be confused and let Mrs. Hu vent.
Except for Zhao Yihan's sudden support for Qingqiu, this visit went smoothly. I heard Mei Li from the Jin family say that their elder brother Fengju seemed to be less interested in Xiaolian these days, and he didn't go home all day.Qingqiu guessed that the problem of Fengju and his wife had been resolved, so she called Xiufang first to test her tone.As expected, Xiufang's tone on the phone was very relaxed, and Qingqiu sent Xiaolian back, but Xiaolian was a bit reluctant to part with her. Qingqiu spent the most comfortable days here in Qingqiu, Qingqiu not only didn't make things difficult for her, but also treated her very well. Give her the book to teach her how to read and write.But after all, he is the daughter of the youngest mistress, so she can't rely on relatives' house, so Xiao Lian reluctantly got in the car and went home.
Bai Shaoyi is not at home, Qingqiu finds that life is a bit boring, the whole sky seems to be missing something.In addition, Xiuzhu once confirmed from the side that Zhao Yihan is indeed returning to Shanghai. Even if Qingqiu believes that Bai Shaoyi will not rekindle his old love for Zhao Yihan, he feels a little uncomfortable after all.On the one hand, Qingqiu was worried about whether Bai Shaoyi's lawsuit in Shanghai was going smoothly, and whether her daily life was a habit. Fortunately, Bai Shaoyi wrote to Qingqiu almost every day, and every detail was clearly written in the letter. From the progress of the lawsuit to the daily necessities of life, she wished she could She can write it even when she sneezes, and seeing Bai Shaoyi's rambunctious, lengthy letters, Qingqiu feels at ease.She also wrote back to Shao Yi every day, and the two of them passed on the letter, even though they couldn't meet each other, their relationship grew deeper.
Qingqiu mentioned the news of Zhao Yihan's going to Shanghai in the letter, but Bai Shaoyi replied disapprovingly, "Shanghai is famous and wealthy, and there are many young talents. Ms. Zhao must have no time to think about me, who was a yellow flower of yesterday. Besides, I am busy with the progress of the lawsuit all day long." , I have no time to care about the gossip outside, I just hope that the lawsuit will be successfully concluded and I can return to Beijing to reunite with you." Qingqiu couldn't help laughing when she read Bai Shaoyi's letter, is he showing his loyalty?Zhao Yihan's family is in Shanghai, and she went to Beijing first when she came back from abroad. It seems that she intends to reunite with Bai Shaoyi, but Luohua intends to be ruthless, and time has passed.Zhao Yihan probably figured it out, and went home determinedly.She is a very resourceful woman with a wealth of talents in Shanghai. She should be able to find a more suitable candidate soon.With Bai Shaoyi's guarantee, Qingqiu is completely at ease.
"Young Mistress, Madam called and said that she is not feeling well." Osmanthus came in in a hurry, interrupting Qingqiu's good mood. "Mother is sick, it's not serious, have you hired a doctor at home?" Qingqiu hurriedly got up, and Osmanthus said: "It's nothing serious, I asked the doctor to see it, and said it was a cold in the new season, rest for a few days and it will be fine. "Although Mrs. Bai's illness is not serious, Qingqiu still wants to go back and have a look.She was busy packing up her things and went back to the house in the city with Osmanthus fragrans.
The car quickly returned to the city, seeing Qingqiu getting off the car, it was Zhong Ma who came out to welcome her: "Young mistress is back, Madam has already asked the doctor to see her, and now she is lying on the sofa, Madam is even happier that young mistress is here. "
"Is mother better? What did the doctor say? I thought that my mother would like light food when she was sick. There are fresh vegetables outside the city. I asked Mama Zhang to prepare some. I put them in the car and called the kitchen later. Make some side dishes." Speaking of Qingqiu and entering the house, Zhong Ma said with a smile: "Young Mistress is still filial, especially bringing fresh vegetables. Although the weather is warm in spring, the vegetables are green and yellow."
"Qingqiu is here, and it's all because of Zhong Mama's fuss. I have a little cold, and I'll be fine after lying down for a few days. The doctor who will be hired here is also good." Mrs. Bai's illness is not serious, she is lying in the small living room under a blanket Holding a book on the sofa, seeing Qingqiu came back, half-sitting and talking to her.
Qingqiu greeted her mother-in-law's health, and then talked about Shaoyi's situation in Shanghai. Mrs. Bai smiled and listened: "You should pay attention to your health at school by yourself. There is nothing important at home. In fact, if you want to go back to your mother's house to see when you are free, just Go. They are all in the same city, why don't you go back and have a look?" Qingqiu said with a smile: "Mother Zhang and Osmanthus are very nice, and the service is very thoughtful. My mother likes to be quiet, and she doesn't want me to run back and forth to disturb She is quiet. My mother loves me, but I always have to talk to my mother when I go back to my mother's house. These days I simply live at home and stay with my mother. "
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were talking, when Madam Zhong came in and said, "Ma'am, Dr. Liu is here." Qingqiu knew that it was the doctor who came for a follow-up visit: "Why isn't it the old Dr. Clark? I haven't heard of this doctor before." The Bai family has a special private doctor. Doctor, Mrs. Bai just has a slight cold. In fact, as long as she rests for a few days, she can recover without medicine.Why is this doctor still rushing to the door for a follow-up visit?
Mrs. Bai said with a smile: "Although this Mrs. Liu Chunjiang is young and has just returned from a foreign country, she has good medical skills, a better attitude, and is patient and serious. Dr. Clark is well-known and has many patients every day. He personally recommends this doctor." Dr. Liu said that although Dr. Liu is young, he has excellent medical skills." Mama Zhong led in a very young doctor, wearing a suit and wearing round tortoiseshell glasses, with a dignified expression.Madam Bai stood up and said, "Doctor Liu is here, this is my daughter-in-law."
"We met once at the Tang family's wedding, but Mrs. Bai didn't see me. At that time you were talking to the eighth miss of the Jin family." Doctor Liu said, Qingqiu remembered that at the Tang family's wedding, This person appears to be a friend of the best man.Qingqiu greeted him with a smile: "It's really my blindness, I didn't recognize the doctor." As he said that, Liu Chunjiang seriously checked Mrs. Bai's body.Waiting for him to measure the blood pressure: "Your body is completely recovered. It is spring now, and the temperature changes greatly, so it is easy to catch a cold. I can prescribe some vitamins for you to prevent colds." Liu Chunjiang prescribed a prescription Madam Bai noticed that Liu Chunjiang's eyes glanced at Qingqiu from time to time.She deliberately handed the prescription to Qingqiu: "Look, my eyes are a bit blurred." Qingqiu was also shown by Liu Chunjiang, his whole body was hairy.She hurriedly found an excuse to go out and give Zhong Ma the prescription.
Mrs. Bai chatted with Liu Chunjiang and asked about his family and education. It turned out that Liu Chunjiang was the son of the director of the Ministry of Health and had just returned from studying in Germany.Mrs. Bai looked at Liu Chunjiang's speech and behavior did not look like a frivolous person, but why did he just stare at his daughter-in-law?
Liu Chunjiang and Mrs. Bai exchanged pleasantries for a while and said the things to pay attention to before leaving. Mrs. Bai asked Zhong Ma to take him out. Mrs. Bai listened to the sound outside, and it took a while to hear the sound of the door opening and closing.Then Qingqiu came in with a puzzled face, looked at Mrs. Bai hesitating to speak.Mrs. Bai gave Zhong Ma a wink, and Zhong Ma went out, leaving only the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the living room.Qingqiu said to her mother-in-law: "Just now, Doctor Liu asked me about Xiaolian from the Jin family. How did Doctor Liu know Xiaolian? What's going on?"
"Minzhi and the others have the temper of the young lady, and they don't care about it on a whim. It turned out to be good, and something happened. I thought Dr. Liu must have known Xiaolian's identity. Not only did he not dislike Xiaolian as a girl, but he was tempted. But this It's other people's business, we don't talk about it." Mrs. Bai was so smart that she immediately guessed the strangeness between them, and she also expressed her position by the way, she didn't want Qingqiu to intervene in the Jin family's affairs.
