Golden Pink Building

Yufen's words were very blunt, and even a nervous person like Yanxi could sense something was wrong. The faces of Hesun and his wife froze, and Shu Huichang smiled and said, "I mean, we are all one family. No matter who has the accident, we are all worried. Alas, Lao Qi is suffering in there, you should rest first." Peifang regained her senses and stepped forward to Yanxi and said, "That's right, I'll ask someone to put the bath water for you. Coal has risen a lot these days. I just bought a bunch of briquettes a few days ago so I don’t have to worry about running out of hot water. When I was in Beijing, I used to burn boilers at home, but Shanghai is more humid and colder than Beijing. The briquette stove is gone." Peifang babbled about the briquette stove and the days when the boiler was fired before, and Mrs. Jin suddenly said irritably: "I think Yanxi should go back first, and you go back and clean it up yourself, and call your cousin first." Call, thank him."

The smile on Yanxi's face was gone, he nodded to his brothers and sisters-in-law, and left.Everyone saw that the color on Mrs. Jin's face was wrong, and Hesun and his wife naturally didn't dare to talk anymore, so Hesun took Huichang to find an excuse and left.Then Yufen and Pengzhen said goodbye and wanted to go back: "I have already made an appointment to have afternoon tea with some wives at Jinjiang Tea House this afternoon. They also helped Yanxi talk in front of their husbands. Now that the seventh child has come out, It’s time for me to take a rest.” Yufen is still the same as in Beijing, and she has a wide range of friends, and she even adapted to life in Shanghai before her husband.Now she is still a couple of powerful and rich wives doing public debt and so on.He has made a lot of money on hand, and Pengzhen needs his wife to help him with many things.

"You've worked hard, and Yanxi should thank you too. Don't worry, Yanxi is a person who repays your kindness, and he will naturally remember your benefits in the future. I have no more worries, and I will go back to Jinhua tomorrow. You all grow up When you grow up, it’s up to you how you want to be and how you do things. Your father is watching you from heaven, so you can take care of yourself in the future. I’ll go back tomorrow by myself. No one will give birth to me.” Mrs. Jin has been getting older these days Great, she twisted the prayer beads with a tired face.

"It's all because I didn't take good care of my mother. I've been a sister-in-law for nothing. In terms of social skills, I can't compare to Yufen, and in terms of housekeeping, I can't keep up with Huichang. I have been wronged by asking my mother to follow me these days." In front of her mother-in-law, Fang lowered her eyebrows and rubbed her vest, criticizing herself to Mrs. Jin.

"Forget it, I'm not picky about your mother-in-law, you've done a good job. In fact, I prefer your current appearance. It's better to be a blunt student than to use your mind in a crooked way." Mrs. Jin said to the elder daughter-in-law Zang Zhuo knew it well, but she didn't want to get too entangled. When the matter of Yanxi came out, Mrs. Jin's half-dead heart was completely dead.

The room was full of embarrassment, and everyone didn't know what to say to make things right. Just when the children were embarrassed and speechless, and Mrs. Jin was in meditation with her eyes downcast, the phone rang loudly. Everyone present breathed a sigh of relief, Pei Fang With rare agility, he reached the phone.The call was from Bai Shaoyi, who had just left the court and rushed to make a phone call to ask if Yanxi had come home. "Thank you for still thinking about Lao Qi. He has returned safely. He didn't suffer much in there, but he became dark and thin. Mother sent Yanxi back to rest. I heard that I will see someone in the afternoon. Qingqiu's body is still in good condition. Okay?" Peifang seemed to be grasping at a straw, and exchanged pleasantries with Bai Shaoyi.

Mrs. Jin stood up and stretched out her hand to Pei Fang. She took the phone and said, "Shao Yi, Auntie wants to visit you. Are you home this afternoon? I haven't seen Yuan Yuan and Qing Qiu for a long time. I miss them." Listen Mrs. Jin asked to take Bai Shaoyi's house, and Peng Zhen hurriedly dragged Yufen and Peifang away.

The husband and wife came out from Fengju's house. Yufen got in the car and looked at her husband puzzledly: "I still want to see Qingqiu with my mother. She is pregnant, so she can't come out and walk casually. Am I going with my mother?" Is it more convenient? Why did you drag me out? Let me tell you, don’t get angry with me because I exposed the words of the second family. The husband and wife became more and more obscene, and Yanxi didn’t care if something happened, just wait for Yanxi Xi came out and ran over to show his merits. They must see that Yanxi is going to be famous and want to sell favors in front of him. I can't stand it-"

"I don't like it either. When you want to go to your cousin's house, it's not easy to go. If you insist on going with your mother at this time, you didn't realize that your mother was really angry. We took the right step in the matter of Yanxi, and she I must have something important to say with my cousin. Don’t forget, my cousin is a lawyer. You can think for yourself what your mother is looking for! If they know that you and your mother went to look for your cousin together, they won’t eat us alive We don’t think about the private money in the hands of our mother, and we don’t want to be stared at by others like black-eyed chickens.” Peng Zhen woke up his wife, and it was the Huichang couple who were very calculating about Mrs. Jin’s private money.

"That's right, I even forgot that there are them. Today your second brother and second sister-in-law are really amazing. In the past, Lao Qi's courtesan friend was still able to help and run around tirelessly. There is also Qingqiu, she and Lao Qi are also worthless. How much is directly related. But the cousin is pregnant and is planning film exhibitions and various parties. She personally invited many cultural celebrities. Meili and Yanxi were not born by their mothers, and she also helped Yanxi Daozhi and Minzhi have also contributed a lot. The fourth sister has become more and more indifferent recently. I almost thought she didn't recognize anyone. Who knew that she also took action when she heard about Yanxi. The most dedicated ones are my cousin's family and Miss Qiu. , the rest of the people have contributed to some extent, but there is no movement at the second elder brother's house. He still came out to say this!" Yufen thought of the performance of the Huichang couple very disdainfully.

"Okay, let's have a clear conscience. Those who can do more work. I am a mediocre person. I can't rule the world, and I can't turn the tide. I can only follow the trend." Peng Zhen sighed and looked outside. Street View doesn't speak anymore.

When Qingqiu received her husband's call, she was talking to Chu Huan. As an old classmate, she was very emotional when they met again.Chu Huan married after graduation and the family arranged a good partner. She is now in Shanghai with her husband. Chu Huan's husband is actually the nephew of the Shanghai Police Commander. However, he did not rely on the power of his family. A chemical company was opened in Shanghai, which was also in the pharmaceutical business.Chu Huan didn't want to go to college for nothing, so Commander Tang waved his hand and asked Chu Huan to be the confidential secretary.Anyway, it's my own family, and I'm a talented student who can read and write and went to college. It's safest to teach accounts and confidential documents to my nephew and daughter-in-law.

This is great, you have something to do, and we can still see each other from time to time.It's not like me, I dragged my studies for a few years before barely completing it, what's the use of good grades after graduation, I still have to be a housewife at home.Qingqiu complained to Chu Huan with some sorrow, and she helplessly touched her swollen belly, her eyes filled with helplessness.

"I have learned your lesson. When I got married, I made an agreement with our family that we would not have children for three years. You must know that what I learned in school was the hardest law. According to the law, it’s so easy for top students to graduate, so don’t go home and have children immediately. But I’m a little tempted when I look at your little angel. Children are really amazing. I used to be at home, and I often had relatives. When the children came over, those children were dirty and yelled impolitely. I felt that children were all demons, and it would be no pity to tell me not to have children in my life. But seeing your Yuan Yuan, it is really What an angel! I'm also a little ready to move. Anyway, my job is very leisurely, and I don't feel burdened by having a baby. You are different from me. My in-laws have returned to their hometown in Hangzhou, and we are a young couple. You have always been with your in-laws Living in a big family is considered a big family. There are many more things to do than a small family. In fact, if you are bored at home, your family does not lack your wages. You might as well go to school. Follow your smart mind and don’t learn to become a Everyone is sorry for your natural intelligence." Holding the cup, Chu Huan thought of Yuan Yuan's cute appearance, and was very envious of Qingqiu's perfect family life.The world of two people is romantic, but after a long time, it becomes a bit deserted.A family is not complete without children.

"What you said is exactly what I've been thinking these days. I'm very interested in biology, and I plan to go to school to study biology. Maybe I'll be a doctor in the future, even a veterinarian or a gardener." Qingqiu contacted in the university In addition to the previous collection of classics and history, she was particularly interested in biology, and she took biology as an elective when she was in school.

"I don't think it's good or bad for you to be a doctor. You are such a beautiful person who becomes a doctor, and patients forget their illnesses when they see you. Doctors are also very hard. I don't think your husband will ask you to do such a hard job." Yes. It’s too disharmonious for you to be a veterinarian for such a spotless person. It’s better to be a botanist. It’s best for you to take care of flowers and plants.” Chu Huan talked Qingqiu up and down a lot, and added with a smile: “I’m just worried about you Such a perceptual person, when the time comes to see the flowers bloom and fade, he forgets to study, and becomes emotional when he writes poems there.”

Listening to Chu Huan's words, Qingqiu angrily said, "Yes, you are very accurate! Maybe I will pack up Luohua and bury it in a clean place, and cry loudly over it."

Chu Huan choked her throat with a mouthful of snacks. She blushed and drank a few cups of tea before she could calm down: "Forget it, that's not Lin Daiyu anymore. But Lin Daiyu quarreled with Baoyu. Why are you crying when you live a happy life?"

Qingqiu didn't expect Chu Huan to reveal her feelings in a single word, so he quickly covered up a smile: "How do you know that she is sad because of Baoyu? Maybe she is sad because of her own life experience. Let's not talk about those useless things, tonight you It would be nice to stay and eat at my house."

Chu Huan was a little hesitant to talk to her husband, but suddenly Bai Shaoyi called and said that Mrs. Jin would come over to talk to him about something important in the afternoon.

Chu Huan listened to Qingqiu's family affairs and declined Qingqiu's invitation smoothly: "I'm here to see you today, and I still have activities to arrange in the evening. There are quite a few movies released recently, and you and Mr. Bai will never be able to return tonight." Everyone hold a book and immerse themselves in their studies. Shanghai is very lively at night, compared with it, Beiping looks like a rural place."

Qingqiu speculates in his heart about Mrs. Jin's intentions, so he doesn't want to keep him anymore.Chu Huan looked at the time and was about to leave, she suddenly remembered something, and said mysteriously: "I heard a rumor that Ouyang Yujian, an activist in the school when I was in Beijing, insisted on pulling What speech meeting did you attend. He is the illegitimate son of the former Prime Minister Jin Quan. Isn’t Jin Quan the uncle of your Mr. Bai? Mister is still a relative. Let me tell you—" Chu Huan pulled Qingqiu to gossip with a mysterious expression on his face.

Ouyang Yujian's identity was not particularly sensational at that time, even though the monogamy system was stipulated when the Republic of China was established, and concubinage and private prostitution were abolished.But how can the millennium history be changed at once?Taking concubines to keep slaves and maidservants, brothels and Chu houses still exist.Bastards and concubines are also a reality.However, the illegitimate son of the former prime minister's family, especially when Jin Quan was in power, always appeared in a daily advanced and civilized face, and Ouyang Yujian's identity was so eye-catching.

What's more, since Ouyang Yujian surrendered, he either frantically arrested people or published some confession articles in the newspapers that he had changed his mind and started a new life.There are quite a few rabbits caught in Shanghai, but obedient and cooperative defectors like Ouyang Yujian are rare. People in the party department naturally like to use Ouyang as an example.His reputation spread throughout Shanghai.Chu Huan talked about Ouyang's recent experience.First, he annoyed Mr. Liu, who has a background, and was beaten up and sent to the hospital.

Ouyang Yujian was unwilling to suffer. He lay on the hospital bed for a few days, gnashing his teeth with hatred, and vowed to go out for revenge as soon as he could move.Who knows that Mr. Liu is not a vegetarian, Ouyang offended many people, and everyone was secretly happy to see him deflated.Someone whispered in Mr. Liu's ear, "That person is the most mean and vengeful, and he will take revenge. We had no background before, so we dared not say anything. You are really a chivalrous Wu Song, but killing a tiger is a way to eliminate harm for the people." It's just that I went to the hospital to see Director Ouyang last time, and wanted to persuade him not to hold grudges. But before I entered the ward, I heard him curse you viciously there. He said that he would wait until he got out for revenge. Mr. Liu, although there are people above you , but the county magistrate is not as good as the current one. After all, there are many gods in Shanghai, and your father is far away in Sichuan..."

Although Mr. Liu is young and energetic, he is not a fool. He said calmly: "Ouyang Yujian is a fart. An illegitimate child dares to challenge me. I don't need to ask the old man to come forward. I can easily crush him to death. You guys Never mind, isn't he just a small director, or the director of the Press and Publication Inspection Office. If he is the director of the Kuomintang party department, I will have to think about it. A rebellious traitor will be three knives and six holes in Brother Pao. Throw it into the Jialing River."

Mr. Liu went to Nanjing directly after hearing those words, and he didn't know how he was active. Before Mr. Liu came back from Nanjing, Ouyang Yujian was dismissed for being unfavorable.

"Uncle said that there are hidden dragons and crouching tigers in Shanghai, so don't offend people casually. I used to think that Ouyang Yujian was a bit inexplicable. I only thought that his boastful talk was similar to that of a liar who bought cloth from Tianqiao. Now he really is—" Speaking of here Chu Huan couldn't help shaking his head and sighing. "What happened to the Jin family is really depressing. Your family must be worried. Let me tell you, you have always had a simple family. You used to live with your mother when you were a girl, and your family was harmonious after you got married. I grew up Growing up in a big family, for things like Ouyang Yujian, especially when Prime Minister Jin is not around, you have to be careful when he comes to recognize the ancestors and divide the family property." Chu Huan patted Qingqiu's hand and gave it to him. Her advice.

Regarding the friend's advice, Qingqiu nodded again and again: "Thank you, if you didn't take my confidant, you wouldn't tell me this. Although it's my uncle's house over there, it's two families after all. But it's not good to meddle in other people's housework."

After Chu Huan said goodbye, Qingqiu was finally free, and Yuanyuan couldn't play like crazy all day now, she went to school for half a day, had lunch and rested, Qingqiu went to see the child.So I told Zhang Ma to prepare tea and snacks and wait for Mrs. Jin to come in the afternoon.Qingqiu didn't have the heart to rest, she walked around the house a few times, but her heart became more and more depressed.

Fortunately, Bai Shaoyi rushed home soon, and Qingqiu's mood calmed down a little. She told the news that Chu Huan had come, and Bai Shaoyi raised her eyebrows in surprise: "Oh, I still remember her. I didn't expect her to be with Tang Huan." The commander still has such a relationship. Her husband is a scholar, and there is a soldier in the family who is a scholar. It is really unexpected. Is your aunt still here?"

Qingqiu gave her advice about Ouyang's dismissal that Chu Huan told her: "Ouyang and Yujian are to blame. I asked Chu Huan what to do after Ouyang was dismissed? She couldn't explain clearly. I was very confused, really I'm worried that Ouyang will come to recognize his ancestors and return to his clan to divide the family property. When you say that—" Qingqiu twisted her fingers and looked at Bai Shaoyi worriedly.At that time, Mrs. Jin must ask her nephew for help, she really didn't want to get involved in anything about Ouyang.

"Acknowledging the ancestors? There is no clear regulation in the law. My uncle is no longer here. There is no evidence to say whose son he is. What about dividing the family property? According to the past law, illegitimate children cannot divide the family property, and now they are distributed according to the will. It's customary. Ouyang doesn't occupy either side, even if he is a lunatic, he can't make such a fool of himself. Don't worry, I think my aunt is here for her own affairs." Bai Shaoyi thinks that her aunt seems to be getting older these days , I feel a little sad.

In the afternoon, Mrs. Jin arrived in a rickshaw alone, and Bai Shaoyi and Qingqiu greeted her. "Really, aunt, why didn't you ask me to pick you up. You can just call and ask for a car. It's so hot this afternoon, wouldn't it be our fault if you got sunburned?" Qingqiu looked at Mrs. Jin's head The fine beads of sweat couldn't help complaining.

"I can enjoy both happiness and hardship. The sun is nothing. I don't feel too hot when I am old." Mrs. Jin sat down and wiped her face with a warm towel from Osmanthus fragrans, and took a sip of tea from a cup.

Qingqiu avoided it with the excuse of going to see the child, and here Mrs. Jin and her nephew closed the door and talked for a long time.The next day Mrs. Jin called all the children in front of her, and everyone looked at Mrs. Jin and Bai Shaoyi eagerly.

Mrs. Jin looked coldly at the three couples, Fengju, Hesun, and Pengzhen. Daozhi came alone, and Yanxi and Minzhi were still unmarried.Mei Li has a stubborn temper. Ever since she quarreled with Huichang, she really never came to see Mrs. Jin again.This morning Mei Li specially called and said that if Mrs. Jin went out, she would come to see her off. If Mrs. Jin said something about her afterlife, she was not born by Mrs. Jin, and she would not come to cause trouble with her brothers and sisters. Don't want Mrs. Kim's money.

Looking at the group of children with different expressions, Mrs. Jin was expressionless.She suddenly remembered that when she was in Peiping, it was New Year's Eve when she and Jin Quan sat in the top seat, and a group of people congratulated them on the New Year.She distributed the New Year's money to everyone, and the smiling faces of the children are still the same people now, but time will never go back. "Shaoyi, please read my will." Bai Shaoyi guessed right, Mrs. Jin came to find her nephew to make her will.

Hearing that it was the mother's will, everyone's expressions were terrified. Just as Feng Ju was about to speak, Mrs. Jin spoke up first: "You don't need to say some hypocritical reassurances. I know that since you lost your father, you all feel that you have a lot of money in your hands." Tight, I really regret that I didn't educate you well at the beginning. The most important thing to be a human being is to be self-reliant and self-reliant. Now that you are sitting on your shoulders, you start thinking about my little private money. Now I tell you honestly that you don't want to think about that money. "

Listening to Mrs. Jin's words, some people present were disappointed, some were surprised, and some were indifferent. Mrs. Jin asked Bai Shaoyi to read the will she made yesterday, which probably meant that Mrs. Jin was going to practice in Tiantai Mountain, and all her money was donated to Inside the temple.If she has a surplus after a hundred years, that child, no matter if it is a son or a daughter, will be given to whoever takes care of her at the end of her life.Listening to Mrs. Jin's will, Huichang said unwillingly, "How mother disposes of her property is her own business, and we, as juniors, can't take care of it. It's just that my mother is old and it's too far to go to the rooftop. In fact, it is near Shanghai. There are quite a few temples, mother might as well choose a closer one."

Feng Ju agreed, but Mrs. Jin firmly said: "I have been a grandson and daughter-in-law of the Jin family since I was a teenager, and now I am also a grandmother. In the past few decades, I have not lived for myself. I used to think that the child was young and had to take care of the child, and later I had to take care of your father and maintain the family for fear that you would suffer. Your father is gone and I still have to maintain the relationship between your brothers and sisters. I am also a flesh and blood body and have my own emotions. I I understand now, you still think about relying on me, who cares about my life and death. All my thoughts are in vain. Now I have to live for myself for a few days. If you still think that I am your mother, you have to learn Live on your own, wait until you don’t rely on the wealth of your ancestors, come and tell me, I will feel at ease even in the grave. The seven of you brothers and sisters are all one parent, don’t forget that the same blood is flowing on your body. "

Listening to Mrs. Jin's words, the children of the Jin family lowered their heads, Feng Ju's face was a little ashamed, Dao Zhi's eyes flashed, and it seemed that he had regained his previous anger.The rest of the people lowered their heads and couldn't see their expressions clearly.

Mrs. Jin got on the bus to Hangzhou and left the noisy Shanghai.Bai Shaoyi and Qingqiu sent their aunt back, but they heard the baby crying as soon as they entered the door.Osmanthus hugged a child and said with a embarrassed face: "Mother Zhang went out, and the cook went out to buy vegetables. Taohua went to the park with Mr. Yuan Yuanhe, and only me and Lao Kang, the concierge, were left at home. This child is a young The woman brought it here, she put down the child and only said a word." Osmanthus babbled nonsense in a circle, her eyes still dare not look at Qingqiu and Bai Shaoyi.

Qingqiu looked at the child in Osmanthus's arms. The child seemed to have been born just a few days ago, and the swaddling clothes on her body looked good. She asked: "You stupid thing, who would leave the child at someone else's house casually? She said Who is she, and what is the matter with this child?"

"Young mistress, that woman said that the young master knows what's going on with this child!" Osmanthus peeked contemptuously at Bai Shaoyi. The woman who delivered the child today was dressed very fashionable. There is an illegitimate child!
