The fate of the Republic of China is you

After the two washed up, they left the house one after the other. Zheng Jiawen fastened a jade pendant the size of a finger belly to the button of his clothes as he walked, but because the button of the button was tight, he couldn't hang it no matter what, so he stopped involuntarily.

Hou Shuyi saw that Zheng Jiawen stopped and buried her head in tinkering with the pendant, so she turned around and walked to Zheng Jiawen, and took the jade pendant with her hand.

Zheng Jiawen glanced at Hou Shuyi, and looked at the jade pendant hanging on her by the other party's slender hands very quietly.

"Second Sister, it's so early." Zheng Jiayi, wearing a pink jacket and pleated skirt, stepped forward, "It turns out that Sister Shuyi and Second Sister are so affectionate." This is different from the news she heard.

After Hou Shuyi hung up the jade pendant, she politely smiled at Zheng Jiayi. She really didn't like Zheng Jiawen's half-sister.

"Morning, sister Jiayi."

Zheng Jiawen looked at Zheng Jiayi and said, "Jiayi, let's go to the front together to celebrate grandma's birthday."

Zheng Jiayi looked at the gift in Xiu Gu's hand and asked curiously, "Okay, Second Sister, what gift did you prepare for Grandma?"

Zheng Jiawen pursed her lips and said, "I'll find out later." She was also embarrassed, she asked in the room, and Hou Shuyi really didn't prepare a second gift, so she gave the silk scarf to Xiugu, I just ask everyone not to pay too much attention to her gift.

Xiugu followed behind Hou Shuyi with a smile on her face. Seeing Zheng Jiawen's embarrassment flashing by, she wanted to laugh in her heart. How did Second Miss know that Second Young Mistress had exchanged her gift for a thousand blessing handkerchief.

When Hou Shuyi went up the steps, she gently held Zheng Jiawen's arm with her right hand.

Zheng Jiawen's body stiffened suddenly, and although he was uncomfortable, he was still being held by Hou Shuyi. This feeling was very strange.

When we got to the front, all the members of the Zheng family had arrived, only the cousins ​​of the second uncle's family and the two cousins ​​of the third uncle's family did not come back from abroad.

"Mother, please sit down, the sons are going to give you birthday wishes." Zheng Junren helped the old lady to sit on the main seat, and when the compliments outside were finished and the firecrackers sounded, Zheng Junren brought the whole family to kneel in the center of the hall.

Zheng Junren and Tao Min were kneeling side by side at the front, followed by Zheng Jiahe and his wife, Zheng Jiawen and Hou Shuyi from the left, and the second concubine and Zheng Jiayi were kneeling on the right.At the end there were four children kneeling, and Zheng Xianglan almost knelt down holding his younger sister.

"Mother, I wish you blessings like the sea in the east, and a life like a pine tree that never grows old."

"Grandma, I wish you auspicious light, the crane dance and the sunset are very red."

"Grandma, I wish you good health and happiness every day~"

The old lady was very happy to see the whole family in the long house from the main seat, especially the baby voices of the group of dolls in the back, which made her feel softer in her heart.

"Get up, get up."

Everyone stood up when they heard the words, and some servants around the old lady came forward to pick up the presents, and opened them one by one for the old lady to see.

When it was Hou Shuyi's turn to present the gift, Zheng Jiawen looked up and took a closer look. It was a painting. After everyone opened it, it was green and green and full of vitality. The old lady carefully held it in her hand and admired it. , Surprised: "Oh, this is drawn by Shuyi herself. I really can't see it. She has such painting skills at a young age. Okay, okay, she is a talented woman. My Zheng family is very lucky."

Zheng Junren and Zheng Junxi moved forward together, and an expert can tell whether a painting is good or not. Zheng Junren looked at Hou Shuyi more kindly, and Zheng Junxi directly took the painting in his hand and looked at it.

"You are so young, so precious." Zheng Junxi looked at Hou Shuyi and said.

In just eight words, Zheng Junxi's attitude was expressed, and the corners of Hou Shuyi's mouth slightly raised and nodded towards the third uncle.

"I have to hang it up, hang it in my room." The old lady happily handed over the painting. Their Zheng family has always been a family of scholars, and they value poetry, calligraphy, calligraphy and painting very much. For the elderly in such a family, they prefer The gift of poetry and painting.

"Come on, show me the gift from Jiawen, and let me see what my precious granddaughter has prepared for me." The old lady said with a smile.

Zheng Jiawen held on to the long gown nervously. Compared with Hou Shuyi's painting, the silk scarf she bought was neither innovative nor casual.

When the servant came to the old lady with Zheng Jiawen's gift, the old lady opened the red silk and satin, and saw a long handkerchief underneath, embroidered with the word "Fu" in different ways.

The old lady asked people to unfold it, enough to be ten meters long.

Zheng Jiawen stared at Hou Shuyi with wide eyes, and seeing the other party smile and wink at her, he was relieved and felt very warm in his heart.

"Mother, Jiawen wishes you a thousand blessings and a long life." Tao Min smiled from the side. Not only is this thousand-character blessing embroidered, it takes a lot of effort to find someone to write a thousand different blessings for the embroidering mother. .

"Oh, Jiawen, grandma didn't love you for nothing." The old lady smiled from ear to ear, "It's not easy to write these thousand blessings, let alone embroider them for the embroiderer after they are finished."

"Jiawen really put his heart into it this time, and this thousand-character blessing puts ours down, and we are all embarrassed to take out our own gifts later." Zheng Junwei's wife smiled and said.

"Grandma, this thousand-character blessing was actually prepared by Shuyi." Zheng Jiawen listened to everyone saying that she was hardworking and blushed so much that she stepped forward to tell the truth.

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was stunned for a moment, and then they all laughed, because every family is like this, the couple's two gifts were actually prepared by one person.

"Stupid child, isn't it all like this? What Shuyi prepared for you is yours. When everyone praises you, they are actually complimenting you as a young couple." Zheng Junxi's wife, the third aunt, stepped forward and said.

Zheng Jiawen glanced at Hou Shuyi, and his face became even redder.

Hou Shuyi tugged at Zheng Jiawen's sleeves, stepped aside, and watched the others go up to give gifts.

After the three-bedroom Zheng Junxi's family finished their birthday celebrations, the sound of firecrackers started again outside, and some good families came to the door one after another.

"Second brother and third brother, follow me to the front to meet the guests." Zheng Junren left with the two younger brothers.

"Old lady, the people from the photo studio are here." Uncle Xu came in and said.

"Then, let's take a photo first, Jun Ren and his three brothers will call to take a family photo later." The old lady smiled and asked Uncle Xu to invite people from the photo studio.

The third room took pictures with the old lady on a per-room basis. Before the old lady went to meet the guests, she took a separate photo with Zheng Jiawen and Hou Shuyi, and then left with a smile.

Seeing that grandma had left, the Zheng family went up to their cousin Zheng Jiawen and said, "Jiawen, you and Shuyi should take more photos. When you got married, it was an old-fashioned marriage. I saw the photo album at home and you didn't even take a picture together." No, I just took this opportunity to take a few more photos, including Xiang Lan and Xiang Tong."

"No need, cousin, you know that I don't like taking pictures very much." Zheng Jiawen felt awkwardly that it was inappropriate.

"Why don't you use it? It can't be that my hometown doesn't even have a group photo." Zheng Jiaru said and took Zheng Jiawen's hand and walked to Hou Shuyi who was chatting with the third and second aunts, "Shuyi, my sister said that you didn't take pictures when you got married. Photos, now I want to take a few more photos, you go back and pick out some clothes, I will take the master of the photo studio to your room later."

Hou Shuyi looked at Zheng Jiawen in surprise when she heard the words, Zheng Jiawen wanted to take more photos with her? ?Is the sun coming out in the west? ?

"Yeah, take a few more photos and save them for later. You go first. Your third aunt and I will go to the front to find your mother to help you." The second aunt winked at the third aunt as she spoke, and the two left Huaxia together. Church.

"This can be regarded as an anecdote about their old Zheng's family. When I went to Harbin with my master, I felt that Jiawen couldn't marry. I really guessed it." The second aunt said as she walked.

The third aunt heard the words and sighed: "This matter was decided by the old lady. She has loved Jiawen since she was a child. It is not particularly strange to agree to this matter. I hope this matter will not spread to Tianjin. I am more or less afraid of Jun. Xi’s colleagues and students know that although Jiawen is a good kid, it’s somewhat awkward for two girls to get married.”

"It's not awkward. It's not my daughter, so I can accept it. But then again, Shuyi is really a good girl. I like it very much. If it wasn't for the joy, this girl must be a lot of high society. The son chases after."

The third aunt felt quite the same when she heard the words: "What the second sister-in-law said is that this girl is a good painter, she is not ostentatious, she is well-mannered in her speech and conversation, and her appearance is outstanding. Marriage, I want to introduce him to Jiazhen, Jiazhen is also 24, and he is not married yet, and he sent a letter from abroad saying that he has not found a suitable one. If the sisters of the compatriots are equally outstanding, you can also ask for a photo."

"It's the old lady's birthday today, so the Hou family must come. After all, the two families are married. I'll go and have a look later, and ask around." Second Aunt said as she walked out of the Moon Gate.

Over there, Zheng Jiawen and Hou Shuyi walked towards the backyard one after the other.

"Shouldn't this be your idea?" Hou Shuyi pushed open the door and asked.

Zheng Jiawen nodded and said, "This is my cousin's idea."

"Hey, what are you doing so honestly?" Hou Shuyi sighed, took out some clothes from the suitcase and put them on the bed, "If you really don't want to, I'll take pictures with Lanlan and Tongtong alone?"

"Everyone is here, let's go together." Zheng Jiawen bit his tongue when he spoke.

Hou Shuyi heard the words and picked up a dark blue embroidered cheongsam and white shawl and went inside to change. When she came out, she saw Zheng Jiawen in a blue and white buttoned gown sitting on a chair and had already taken a few photos with Xiang Lan and Xiangtong.

The photographer smiled and led Hou Shuyi to sit on the other side of the round table.

"Miss Xiang Lan stood behind the second lady, put her hands on the shoulders of the second lady and leaned forward, hey, come on, come on, second young lady, you hug Miss Xiangtong, okay, come on, look ahead and keep smiling," said the photographer. He got into the cloth cover of the camera and came out after a while, "Second Miss, smile?"

Zheng Jiawen pursed his lips and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

...... The photographer was stunned, it was uglier than crying.

"You just hugged Miss Xiang Lan's smile just now, let's try again." The photographer went in again, just in time to see Hou Shuyi smiling at Zheng Jiawen from the side, Zheng Jiawen also laughed out under the influence of her smile , clicked, and took a picture, "Not bad, the smile is very happy."

Zheng Jiawen took out his handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his palms.

"Come on, let's take a few more solo ones. Second Miss, you stand up and walk behind Second Young Mistress, yes, that's where you are. Okay, put your hands on Second Young Mistress's shoulders. Okay, keep smiling." The photographer said again It was done with a click.

"Okay, come again, change to the old man's chair, come on, Second Miss, sit down."

Hearing this, Zheng Jiawen took a deep breath, walked to the old man's chair and sat down.

"Second Young Mistress, go and sit on the armrest of the old-fashioned chair. Okay, the sitting posture is very beautiful. Come and put your left hand on the back of the chair. Okay, put your right hand lightly on your thigh. It's perfect. Come on, look at the camera, one two three."

"Second young lady is very good at taking pictures, she is very beautiful, okay, go on, come on, you two stand up, walk to the side of the bookshelf, second miss, lean your shoulders gently on the bookshelf, okay, put your left foot on the right side of your right foot Point your toes on the ground, um, very good, the leather shoes look good. Come on, the Second Young Mistress approached, hey, very good, put your right hand lightly on the Second Young Lady’s right shoulder, Second Young Miss, put your left hand around the Second Young Mistress’ waist, okay, let’s look at the camera .”

After the filming, Hou Shuyi leaned closer and asked with a smile, "Can you hold my waist without sweating?"

Zheng Jiawen looked at the camera silently after hearing the words, she didn't know what to say.

"Are you nervous at such a close distance?" Hou Shuyi smiled and looked at Zheng Jiawen, with her left calf tilted back, just as Zheng Jiawen turned her head to look at Hou Shuyi, this scene was captured by the photographer.

When the sound of taking pictures sounded, Zheng Jiawen was startled.

"Okay, the second lady is going to change clothes, choose a suit to wear, come to the second young lady, and take some photos of you and your two children."

"Okay." Hou Shuyi smiled and nodded, "Is my photo okay? Is there any bad one?"

"There is nothing wrong with your photos. Your figure and appearance are very photogenic." The photographer said and took a few photos of Hou Shuyi and the two children, including holding hands and playing. After taking four or five photos At that time, the photographer asked Hou Shuyi to change her clothes, and caught the two children and snapped them.

Children don't need to make special movements, and the pictures taken casually are very vivid and cute.

After Zheng Jiawen changed his clothes, the photographer moved outside to take pictures. Under the sun, beside the corridor, a young girl dressed in calligraphy and ink was sitting there reading a book. Zheng Jiawen felt artificial after taking the photo.

"Okay, come on, the two of you hug each other and kiss."

"What?" Zheng Jiawen was stunned, "This won't work, it's not good to be seen by people when you shoot it, it's not good." Sweat broke out on Zheng Jiawen's forehead.

Hou Shuyi rolled her eyes, she was stubborn and rigid, and she had the feeling that she would never kiss her in this life.

"Then kiss the forehead instead," said the photographer.

Zheng Jiawen took a deep breath, even though her lips were close to Hou Shuyi's forehead, she didn't really kiss. She felt that she and Hou Shuyi hadn't formally entered into that kind of relationship with each other, and they didn't make any promises to each other, so it was not easy to kiss.

Hou Shuyi lowered her head slightly, feeling amused and at the same time relieved, Zheng Jiawen treated her like this at this time, so she wouldn't worry about having any intimate behaviors with others outside, which was reassuring.

The photographer thought this scene was beautiful, so he asked Xiang Lan and Xiang Tong to play casually in front of him. He found the right time to snap a photo that he was most satisfied with. After the photos were developed, anyone who looked at them felt that the family was happy.

"Second Miss." Xiu Gu ran out from the corridor.

Hearing the sound, Zheng Jiawen quickly let go of Hou Shuyi's hand and looked at Xiu Gu.

"Second miss, the second young lady's natal family is here. The master and wife are in the front seat. The master asked me to call you to the front."

Zheng Jiawen's heart beat faster when she heard the words, she didn't want to go to see the Hou family, but in the current situation, she would not look good if she didn't go to see everyone.

"Is it my mother or Mrs. Hou's family?" Hou Shuyi asked.

"Obviously, all the wives of the Hou family have come." Xiu Gu replied.

"Go and see, can you help me invite my mother here? I want to see her." Hou Shuyi's eyes are no longer playful, but there is a bit of eagerness and longing in them.

"Okay, you wait here, I'll go to the front." Zheng Jiawen walked up the corridor and left quickly.
