Golden Pink Building

Bai Wenxin is very satisfied with this daughter-in-law Qingqiu, and she is always pleasant when talking to her. Qingqiu thought about it, and said what Xiuzhu said today, Bai Wenxin frowned slightly, and played with his pocket watch subconsciously: "It seems that Yanxi is real It’s no wonder that he is looking for trouble for no reason. Forget it, children and grandchildren have their own blessings, and we are just uncles and aunts of Xiuzhu. Let’s see what she wants. Shaoyi, your Jiaoji Railway lawsuit can’t be dealt with. There are eyebrows."

"It's a bit of a clue. At the beginning, Deqing Company was the investor of the railway. In fact, as long as we redeem the shares in Germany, Japan will have nothing to do. But where can we find a sum of money? Can the government pay for it?" Bai Shaoyi said a little He looked at his father worriedly.If I am aggressive, the government is also under tremendous pressure.Bai Wenxin sighed: "You also know that there have been years of civil wars, where did the money come from! These people first use the money to buy weapons and fight for territory. All of them are short-sighted and have evil intentions. The country really needs a strong central government. These separatist warlords are all united. The president is carrying the pressure of public opinion, and the Japanese are making progress. I don’t think any maneuvers will work. They have murderous intentions and have long coveted the fundamental interests of our country.”

When talking about the political situation, Bai Shaoyi also fell silent, and the father and son sighed, and the relaxed atmosphere just now disappeared. "Both of you, this is not a state affairs meeting, and even the state affairs meeting doesn't give you much chance to speak. According to my knowledge, we are just doing our best. No matter which one is on top, it is the leader of the Republic of China. President, we are doing things for the country, as long as we are worthy of the country and our own conscience. As for the result, we can only depend on God’s will. It’s getting late, let’s rest.” Mrs. Bai stood up first, and everyone stopped Huatou rested.

Qingqiu and Bai Shaoyi lay on the bed after washing up, holding a book and reading, only the slight sound of flipping the pages of the book was left in the bedroom. "Listening to my father's tone, the situation of the Jiaoji Railway is not optimistic. If you lose the lawsuit, it will be all my fault. I should have advised you not to accept that lawsuit. Actually, think about it, what legal facts are in There is nothing in front of swords and soldiers. Youdao is a scholar who meets soldiers, and there is no reason to explain it. It is a shame that the country is too weak to resist foreign humiliation."

"Okay, you still think about that. It was the case I was going to take. I had already thought that there would be a day when I would lose the lawsuit. You would not persuade me to retreat completely just for the sake of winning or losing. In that case, you would not be you Yes, Qingqiu, I thank you for your unconditional support all the time. I don’t care about winning or losing a lawsuit now. The result of this case is the same for everyone, but I tried my best with a clear conscience. At least I did my best to fight for the interests of the country. As for I don’t care what other people say. I don’t care about what other people say. But people who understand will not be harsh. Those who criticize radically, a group of fools or have ulterior motives, I don’t care. As long as you stand by my side, I will be very happy .In life, you have to know the trade-offs, and don't pay attention to those insignificant things." Bai Shaoyi held Qingqiu's hand and looked at her with burning eyes.

Seen with embarrassment by Bai Shaoyi's eyes, Qingqiu said angrily: "You, you talk a lot of crazy things at night. I dare not talk to you anymore. It's getting late, let's rest." Bai Shaoyi put down the book in his hand , the eyes are gentle enough to drip water: "Okay, my wife." The shadow of losing the lawsuit and the uneasiness about the political situation all disappeared in Qingqiu's clear eyes.

Bai Shaoyi just came out of the Ministry of Communications when he found Feng Ju waiting for him outside.Bai Shaoyi hit Fengju twice, the long gown she was wearing was very strange, although she had a bad look on her face, she was in good spirits.He thought to himself that maybe Feng Ju ran away to the small mansion after being taught a lesson by Jin Quan last night, what did he want to do with him? "You are a very busy person now, I have been waiting for you for a long time. Come with me for the sake of standing under the sun for a long time." Feng Ju couldn't help but drag Shao Yi away after speaking.

Soon I arrived at Fengju's small mansion. Bai Shaoyi was a little tired of seeing this place in the car: "I still have something to do, and I didn't know what happened yesterday. Qingqiu went out with your third sibling for a while, who would have come back?" ——I don’t think there is any impenetrable wall in the world, this one must see the light of day. You will hide and hide, why don’t you take the initiative to plead with the old man and give in. Qingqiu asked me to say sorry to you, I should have known that Xiufang knew Now, she should persuade her." Bai Shaoyi helped Qingqiu to speak, Qingqiu returned home and thought of the quarrel between Xiufang and Fengju, still very puzzled.Although she and Yufen knew about it, neither of them said anything. Why did Xiufang quarrel with Fengju in the blink of an eye?Bai Shaoyi suspected that Huichang might have revealed it, but why did Huichang say that to Xiufang? Bai Shaoyi didn't want to think about it in the dark.

Feng Ju ignored Bai Shaoyi for helping Qingqiu clear the suspicion. He held Bai Shaoyi alive: "Although we are cousins, we also grew up. I don't blame anyone for this matter. In fact, it's good that Xiufang knows. I'm I have something to ask you. If you were at home, Xiufang would still be angry, and it would be inconvenient for us to talk. Tell me, why I built this place is not for the convenience of communication. Xiufang has a rigid personality. If she is as good as your wife If I could do it, I wouldn't even think about it. Besides, Yanhong is very pitiful, she was sold by my mother, can I watch her fall into the fire pit?" Feng Ju said that she was upright and flawless.Bai Shaoyi smiled inwardly, and followed Fengju in.Let's take a look at what medicine is sold in his gourd first.

The sons of the Jin family were all there, but Liu Baoshan, who was inseparable with the sons of the Jin family, was gone. Seeing Fengju and Bai Shaoyi coming in, everyone stood up: "It turns out that the elder brother went to find brother Shaoyi, and we were worried that it would not be the father." I called my elder brother to give a lecture."

Everyone greeted each other when they met, Yanhong brought the old lady up, and she took out all kinds of fruits from the tray held by the old lady, Bai Shaoyi looked at the plate of fruits, fresh apples, bananas and oranges were cut into delicate small pieces, served with Serve dark purple grapes and bright red cherries on a brown-black dish.Bai Shaoyi looked at Yanhong subconsciously, but found that the old lady behind her looked strange.Feng Ju said to Yan Hong: "You go down and stay for a while, I have something important to tell my brothers." .

Hesun whispered in Bai Shaoyi's ear: "This is a new old lady. Even though she is a Korean from outside the customs, her behavior is much more charming than the stupid old lady we usually see. Yanhong is too much. You stared at the old lady beside him, I remembered, you have been idle recently. In fact, as a man, it’s okay to go out and have fun. Just don’t disturb the whole family.”

Bai Shaoyi gave Hesun a hard look, and suddenly remembered Huichang's call for equality between men and women, insisting on monogamy, and abolishing public and private prostitution. If she heard what Hesun said just now, what expression would she have. "I don't have any hobbies, don't talk nonsense in front of me! I looked at the interesting arrangement of fruit plates today, as if they looked familiar. Is this old lady new here? I remember when I came last time, have I seen her before?" .In Beijing, there are mostly old ladies from Hebei, and some are servants brought up from my hometown in the south. I've been really ignorant recently, is it possible that foreign old ladies are still popular?"

"No, this old woman was met by Yanhong by chance. She said that she was originally in North Korea, but later married a husband outside the customs. Unexpectedly, after her husband died, her husband's family refused to take her out and exiled her to Beijing. Yanhong was greedy for petty gain, so she Accepted." He Sun was well-informed, talking about the trivial matters of the eldest brother's small mansion with great interest.

"What are you whispering about? I invited you here today, but I have a serious business to entrust." Feng Ju lost her tongue and sent Yan Hong out. Looking at Fengju, it turned out that Fengju was sent by Jin Quan to Shanghai to do business, and he was about to leave soon.Fengju was worried that Yanhong would go to Jin's house to make troubles if she left, or would become restless, so she asked her younger brothers and Shao Yi to help watch Yanhong. "Actually, it's not really important. I've already given her a lot of living expenses, so life is definitely fine. It's just that she's a woman at home. If something happens, a man needs to advise. So I put my face down and beg everyone, come Give me a hand when you are free. I will definitely thank you for waiting for me to come back."

Yanxi had a face of reluctance: "Brother, I think it's better for you to break up with her. Father will know sooner or later, and where you put your sister-in-law. She is still pregnant, and I don't see you begging for help to take care of her." .”

"Old Qi, you are now in love with Miss Bai, and you really think about the things between a man and a woman as pure and flawless as it is extremely simple. Your sister-in-law is at home and has many servants around her, so your mother must take care of her. You're not married yet, so you don't know what's going on here. Even if you marry a fairy, you'll get tired of it after a long time. Yanhong is not as bad as you think, she's just a prostitute, and now you follow me, and you don't have to worry about being bullied , those bad problems on her body will be corrected in the future." Feng Ju taught his younger brother in the tone of someone who has experienced it.

Bai Shaoyi's heart suddenly moved: "You have a lot of things on hand. The Jiaoji Railway has to negotiate with the Japanese. Why did you leave?"

"Well, having my uncle here as a novice is just helping out with errands. Father has already told uncle and the minister, and I will leave the matter to others." Feng Ju looked mysterious: "Father asked me to see People from the south." So it turned out, Bai Shaoyi didn't expect Jin Quan to have contact with Guangzhou.

Everyone gossips, eats casually and separates, while waiting for the banquet to break up, Yanxi said to Bai Shaoyi: "I'll take my cousin home first, I'm not sure about some things and I need to ask my cousin's opinion. "

Bai Shaoyi seemed to know what Yanxi wanted to ask, and the two of them got into the car and headed all the way to Bai's house.It turned out that Yanxi heard the conversation between Xiuzhu and Qingqiu that day, and thought that Xiuzhu was bewitched by Tang Lide, and she was a little shaken by him. "Tang Lide must be behind the scenes. I didn't expect him to be so insidious and speak ill of me in front of Xiuzhu. Now Xiuzhu doesn't believe my sincerity anymore! Cousin, tell my cousin sister-in-law to help me Say something nice to Xiuzhu." Yanxi irritatedly hit the backrest with her fist, and the veins in her clenched hand burst out.

"It's best for you to talk to Xiu Zhu yourself. Since you have heard what Xiu Zhu is saying, you should know what you are going to do. If you ask Qingqiu to help you make peace, it will only treat the symptoms but not the root cause." Bai Shaoyi performs Tai Chi on Yanxi.According to Bai Xiongqi's intention, he is still undecided about Xiuzhu marrying Yanxi.Everyone in the Bai family felt that Yanxi was immature and really not a good match for Xiuzhu.

"But Xiuzhu doesn't see me at all, and won't answer the phone! I really can't do anything recently. I think these are Tang's tricks, I have to beat him up again!" Yanxi suddenly realized that she had only The embroidered beads that stick to him are also a very popular girl.Xiuzhu has a good family background and looks beautiful. Although she is a little self-willed sometimes, the petty temper of girls, especially the beautiful girls can only be a plus.Seeing Xiuzhu getting close to other boys, Yanxi realized that the girl who had been following behind him like a little follower had disappeared.Just like a child with many toys who suddenly finds out that someone wants to touch his neglected toy, he immediately becomes possessive. Jin Yanxi cannot allow her embroidery beads to be snatched away by others.

"You are still messing around! Take care of Xiuzhu and ignore you again." Bai Shaoyi warned Yanxi not to do stupid things: "I think you really like Xiuzhu, so you should talk to her and let him understand your sincerity and determination." Bai Shaoyi threw After saying this, she got out of the car and left, Yanxi thought about Bai Shaoyi's words by herself, and suddenly realized.

Waiting for Bai Shaoyi to enter the house, Housekeeper Yu came over and said, "Young Master, Master asked you to go to his study."

In the study, seeing his son come in, Bai Wenxin raised his head from the document: "You went out to socialize today, I think of a way, you said you just need to buy back the shares of the German side, although we have no money now, but the Japanese People may not be willing to spend money. First let the wind say that we will buy back the shares of the German side, and the Japanese will definitely follow suit and pay for the shares in the hands of the German side. We just increase the price and wait for the price to be raised to the sky. , the Japanese let go. At that time, we will raise money again, and the price can be lower than before.”

"This idea is very good. I think it will be more likely to win if we unite with the powerful people in the Jiangsu-Zhejiang Consortium. Firstly, the railway is very profitable, and secondly, it is for the good of the country. But how do I contact them now? I may go to a A trip to Shanghai?" Bai Shaoyi regained her spirits, her eyes sparkling.

"No, you are a Chinese lawyer. If I'm not mistaken, the Japanese would have paid attention to your whereabouts. I have already told the minister and your uncle, and your uncle wants to ask Feng to go. The president also knows this method. Success and No, it’s all about it. Your uncle is a good-looking man, and he has met many rich men from Jiangsu and Zhejiang in Fengju, and he has also made money for himself.” With his son Bai Wenxin, he lost his scruples and directly expressed Jin Quan’s selfishness. batch out.

"Maybe I can also communicate with the revolutionary party in the south." Bai Shaoyi added with a smile. For some reason, the low-browed North Korean woman in Fengju's small mansion always called Bai Shaoyi a bit weird.

"Father's plan is good, but it must be kept secret. I think father should be more cautious. The Japanese have always worked hard on details and like to do some shady things. The less people know about this matter, the better." Bai Shaoyi is worried. to add a sentence.

"Don't worry, only the president, your uncle, and you and I know, and Feng Ju can't know everything!" Bai Wenxin was full of confidence.
