The fate of the Republic of China is you

On the third day of the Lunar New Year, visiting relatives and friends, the Zheng family arranged gifts for the Hou family.

"Are you sure you don't need me to accompany you when you go back? If my father finds out, it's my fault." Zheng Jiawen was mainly afraid that the Hou family would find fault with her for not understanding etiquette, and also worried that Hou Shuyi would be wronged when she went back alone this time.

"Don't worry, my father won't tell your father to flatter your family. Besides, if you don't go this time, it will appear that you don't like me. Otherwise, what I said earlier that I can't speak in Zheng's family will be self-defeating." Already?" Hou Shuyi sat on a chair and buckled her high-heeled shoes, stood up after putting them on, touched Zheng Jiawen's cheek and said, "Okay, don't worry, if you are bored, why don't you take the offerings and go to worship and chant Nian's mother, I'm leaving, I may stay with my mother for lunch at noon, and I won't come back."

After Hou Shuyi finished speaking, she walked out, Zheng Jiawen raised her hand and stroked her hair, and then walked out to prepare things for worship.

Zhang Ma prepared a small basket for Zheng Jiawen, which contained steamed buns with different names and styles, two apples and a bottle of water, and paper money and incense to be burned on it.

"Second Miss, you don't need to leave all these steamed buns there. When burning paper money, just throw a little bit of each style of steamed buns into the fire, and you can still eat the rest of the steamed buns." Zhang Ma instructed.

"Okay, got it." Zheng Jiawen took the small basket and left the house, and walked all the way to Lingshan. She had never been here before to offer incense to Wang Pingjuan. This time, she just asked Mr. Xu for the general location, looking for the tombstone by tombstone. with.

After searching for a long time, I finally found Wang Pingjuan's name on the far left of the third row. Zheng Jiawen stared at the photo on the tombstone in a daze for a long time.

"Sister Pingjuan, I'm here to see you." Zheng Jiawen bent down and put down the basket, and took out something from it, "I didn't expect that we would meet again in such a way after we parted that year."

Zheng Jiawen squatted in front of the tombstone in silence for a long time, holding paper money in his hand, and burned it for a long time.

"I'm sorry, I still thought about a lot of things to say on the way here. When I came here, my mind went blank, and I couldn't remember a lot of things I wanted to say. I'll just say something casually." Zheng Jiawen sent paper money to the small fire, Then a little bit of each steamed bun was thrown into the fire.

After the paper money was burned, Zheng Jiawen stood up with water and sprinkled it in front of the grave, then looked at Wang Pingjuan's photo and smiled bitterly: "I still remember you coming to my house to sing, and you always come to me every time you sing." , please let me teach you how to read and draw red, you are easy to learn and very lively, you let me see a beam of light in the dull night, in my eyes you have a lively and lively soul, maybe I should not confess to you, In this way, I will not go abroad and still study in Wuxi. I can watch you get married, and we can still be good friends. I am really sorry. I was young and impulsive, and I caused you a lot of trouble. I hope you can have no worries in your next life. Don’t worry about being yourself, I hope you will be happy and happy in the next life.”

Zheng Jiawen approached slowly, touched the tombstone and said, "Don't worry, I will find Nian Nian and bring her up by my side. I will bring her to worship you next time. Sister Pingjuan, goodbye."

Zheng Jiawen bowed in front of the tombstone, turned around and went down the mountain without looking back. She was afraid that when she turned around, she would already be in tears, and she didn't want Wang Pingjuan to see her cry.You will meet a lot of people on the road of life, no matter whether you live or die halfway, it will always make people uncomfortable.

This time she didn't tell Wang Pingjuan that she was going to get married. She thought that if the souls of the dead were really alive, they would know about it.

Zheng Jiawen went down the mountain, passed by Hou's house on the way back, stopped in front of the gate for a while, thought about respecting Shuyi, and went back home.

"Second Miss, where are the basket and the rest of the steamed buns?" Mama Zhang asked Zheng Jiawen when she saw that his hands were empty.

"Oh, I'm sorry Zhang Ma, I fell down the mountain." Zheng Jiawen's face flushed slightly, and he wanted to leave after bowing at that time, because the tears couldn't stop, so he just forgot things in a daze.

"Hey, it's nothing. It's cold. Second Miss, please go back to the house. I think Second Young Mistress has a bad face when she comes back from her mother's house." Mama Zhang sighed.

"Why is she back? Didn't she want to stay at her mother's house for lunch?" Zheng Jiawen was startled, knowing what had happened, and hurried to her room in the backyard.

Zheng Jiawen pushed open the door and only saw Hou Shuyi's back. Seeing that she was painting, she walked forward and was stunned when she saw the painting. In the painting, a female ghost with disheveled hair was pinching a bearded man. Tongue out and eyes closed, dead.

"What... are you painting?" Zheng Jiawen asked.

Hou Shuyi pursed her lips with red eyes, and wrote beside her: "I'm not happy."

"It's obvious, I said go with you, you don't have to, tell me how they bullied you, and I'll take you to teach them a lesson." Zheng Jiawen rolled up his sleeves as he spoke.

"Are you going to fight?" Hou Shuyi blinked, seeing that Zheng Jiawen's posture was about to fight.

"A gentleman uses his mouth but not his hands. Why should I beat them? I'll scold them." Zheng Jiawen said.

"You take a rest, they just said something sarcastic to me, I'm not happy because I saw my mother doing laundry in the winter, I'm responsible for it, that is, after they came back from Shanghai last time, they started calling my mother Yes, I think my dad just made it for me." Hou Shuyi put down her brush and pouted.

"Let's go back to Shanghai in a few days. I'll think of a way for your father to send your mother to Shanghai." Zheng Jiawen patted Hou Shuyi's shoulder and said softly.

"What way? My father can't be fooled easily." Hou Shuyi blinked and looked at Zheng Jiawen.

"The mountain people have their own tricks, the little lady just waits for it." Zheng Jiawen shook his head and shook his head with his hands behind his back.

"What kind of monster do you want to do again?" Hou Shuyi gave Zheng Jiawen a look.

"Just wait quietly." Zheng Jiawen walked to the table and sat down, poured a cup of tea, "By the way, did mother take the tailor to measure you?"

"I've measured it, and said I'm going to make new clothes for me. I'm afraid it won't look good, so I wanted to choose fabrics, but my mother refused, and she said I've chosen them." Hou Shuyi looked depressed, she was afraid of choosing fabrics. She didn't like the style and made it, so it was a waste of money.

"Oh, my mother has a good eye, just wait for the surprise." Zheng Jiawen smiled, she knew that her mother was going to rush to make a wedding dress, but now Hou Shuyi's wild thoughts were left to her, so she just didn't say anything.

"Second miss, the master asked you to go to Huatang. The second young mistress and her brothers, sisters and sisters came to pay New Year's greetings." Xiugu came in and said.

Zheng Jiawen blinked and said: "I was going to settle accounts with them, but they came to the door by themselves?" Zheng Jiawen stood up, took Hou Shuyi's hand and said, "Go, I will take you to vent your anger."

"Go by yourself, I'll kill you, I'll wait for your good news." Hou Shuyi pulled out her hand, walked around behind Zheng Jiawen, and pushed him out of the room.

"I'll go by myself, I'll go by myself." Zheng Jiawen turned his head and glanced at Hou Shuyi. With Hou Shuyi's narrow-minded look, how could she be so patient and not go forward?Why is she so disbelieving in her heart.

Zheng Jiawen pursed his lips and said, "Go back to the house, I'm leaving." After saying that, he went forward.

"Oh, Jiawen, come quickly, Shuyi's brothers and sisters are here, oh, everyone is so polite." Zheng Junren smiled and waved to his daughter, "Hequan and Wei met last time in Shanghai , you are also familiar, over there are Shuyi's older sister Shude and younger sister Shuxian."

"I met Second Miss. Happy New Year, Second Miss." Hou Shude and Hou Shuxian stood up.

"Happy New Year." Zheng Jiawen nodded with a smile.

Today, Zheng Jiawen is wearing a brown plaid suit, black and white British leather shoes on his feet, with eyes framed in gold wire, and his shoulder-length hair is fastened with a cylindrical hollow sterling silver hair button. He is very energetic.

"Family, where is Shuyi?" Zheng Junren asked.

"Didn't she go back to her mother's house when I went out in the morning, why, didn't she come with her brothers and sisters?" Zheng Jiawen said, looking at the four members of the Hou family, his eyes full of searching.

"Eh...well, Sanmei left home this morning, why, didn't she go back to Zheng's house?" Hou Hequan asked.

"She left from Hou's house in the morning? No, what she told me was that she wanted to stay at her mother's house for dinner with her mother. Why did she come back right after she went back?" Zheng Jiawen blinked his eyes with a dazed look on his face.

Zheng Junren also felt that something was wrong at this time, and secretly observed the expressions of the four brothers and sisters.

"Oh, it's like this, Second Miss, Third Sister, she contradicted my father with words, and ran back after arguing with my father." Hou Shude stood up and explained.

Zheng Jiawen frowned slightly when she heard the words, she wanted to blame, but she didn't expect the other party to be so thick-skinned.

"She's having a tantrum with your father? Could it be that the Hou Shuyi you saw and the Hou Shuyi I've known are two people?" Zheng Jiawen walked to the side and sat down, picked up an apple and peeled it casually, "She usually does things very well and understands things very well. Politeness, how can you contradict your elders?"

Hou Shude choked for a moment, what does this mean?Doubt that she is lying? ? ?

"I don't know the specifics. I just saw my third sister running out of my father's study and left immediately." Hou Shude tried hard to control her voice, "Second Miss doesn't believe it, you can go to my house to inquire."

"Strange, you just said that you saw Shuyi crying and leaving, which means that you neither saw the situation in the study nor heard the voice inside. Why did you insist that it was Shuyi who contradicted me?" Zheng Jiawen raised his eyes and looked at the other party as if, He looked at his father helplessly, "Father, Miss Hou's words are so strange."

Zheng Junren glanced at his daughter and said: "Okay, what else do you want to come up with? Ms. Hou is a guest, and she is happy to come to pay New Year's greetings. Don't make trouble for me. If you are bored, you can find Shuyi."

"I didn't look for it, I was so angry with her, she is now a member of our Zheng family, and when I went back to her mother's house, she was bullied and left crying, disgraceful to the Zheng family." Zheng Jiawen said and glanced at the four of the Hou family. Brother and sister, "It seems that the Hou family didn't give our Zheng family any face, or is it that Master Hou complained or despised my marriage with his daughter, thinking that I am a woman, so this marriage can be regarded as nothing."

"Second miss, my father has always attached great importance to the marriage with the Zheng family, so why would there be any complaints?" Hou Hequan quickly stood up.

"Then tell me, Shuyi went to pay New Year's greetings in the morning, why did she leave crying?" Zheng Jiawen put down the knife and handed the peeled apple to his father.

"Well, we were not in the study at the time, so we didn't know what happened." Hou Hewei said.

"Okay, then I'll ask the person concerned. Go back and tell your father that Shuyi left from Hou's house and has not been seen yet. I don't care about anything else, I just ask him for someone. The Zheng family regrets the marriage, so before sunset, he will find someone for me and bring him to me, otherwise, I won’t let it go.” After Zheng Jiawen finished speaking, he shouted: “Uncle Xu, see off.”

The expressions on the faces of the four brothers and sisters of the Hou family changed, and finally they had to leave.

"Where did you sing? It's not easy for me to tear you down in front of outsiders. Now you have made it clear and calmly looked for someone from the Hou family. If Shuyi really disappeared, how could you be so angry?" Take it easy?" Zheng Junren put down the apple, annoyed, "They are Shuyi's family after all, why are you so offended? The monk looks at the face of the Buddha, you are hitting Shuyi in the face, do you know that?"

"Father." Zheng Jiawen sat back and smiled, "The Hou family always bullied Shuyi's mother. It's only the third day of the Lunar New Year. I was washing clothes in ice water. Shuyi came back crying. Of course I have to vent my anger on her."

Zheng Junren was stunned when he heard the words and said: "Is Shuyi's father so ruthless? After all, he gave birth to a daughter, and the man is so ruthless, why is he so ruthless?"

"Who said it wasn't? I feel sorry for Shuyi. She must be feeling uncomfortable. Dad, don't worry about today's matter. I started the scene today for a purpose, and I will definitely take care of the end of the scene." Zheng Jiawen stood up while speaking, "Father, I won't talk to you anymore, I went to talk to Shuyi about the script behind today's scene."

Zheng Junren watched his daughter walk away, and shook his head, why is he so fond of playing tricks!
