Golden Pink Building

Why is Zhao Zhongshu here at this time? "You are going there. If there is any open letter group, you must not be the first bird. Just sign your name to avoid it. The principal has not fully grasped the situation in Shenyang. It is best to wait and see at this time." Zhao Zhongshu finished speaking In a hurry to leave.Bai Shaoyi was confused by the old friend's nonsensical words: "You came here just for this. Although we don't know what the situation over there is like, it is obvious that the Japanese are unreasonable, and the Northeast Army has never seen anything. What? I actually answered the phone just now, and Lao Li asked me to go to the bar association. I think it was a matter of solidarity with the Northeast. Could it be that the central government is not prepared to resist?"

"No, I'm rushing to Nanjing for a meeting. As far as I know, the principal ordered the Northeast Army to resist, and there are only less than 5000 Japanese troops in Shenyang. The Northeast Army is well equipped and well trained, so it should be able to handle it. I'm worried. You have fallen into another trap. You know that Rabbit’s propaganda wars are always powerful. They are unmatched in demagogy. In the past, they satirized the central government’s refusal to resist Japan, but now they seize the opportunity. Don’t do it. Other people's chess pieces!" Zhao Zhongshu nodded to Qingqiu, and hurriedly said: "I'm going to go home in Nanjing, please take care of me, Chunsheng has been sent to school by me."

"It's not appropriate for a child to live in school at such a young age. We will take care of it. You just need to rest assured and go to meetings. Qingqiu and I will naturally take care of your young master." Bai Shaoyi was also busy going out, and he took the briefcase and The hat left with Zhao Zhongshu.Thank you so much, wait for me to come back from Nanjing to thank you.You should also be careful not to be deceived by others, and to act foolishly as a cover for others.Zhao Zhongshu looked at Qingqiu and went out with Bai Shaoyi.Qingqiu knew that he was talking to himself, so he nodded with a smile and said: "Thank you for reminding, our whole family is politically insensitive, where do we think so much?"

Life seems to have been disrupted, yesterday was peaceful and peaceful, but overnight everyone only cared about the situation outside the customs.Xiuzhu returned home three days after her wedding, and all the relatives and friends of the Bai family were waiting to see the new son-in-law at Bai Xiongqi's house.But everyone's focus is on other places, even Mrs. Bai, who doesn't care much about the political situation, sighed deeply, and said to Qingqiu: "Nowadays, things about the Northeast are being talked about everywhere, and I, a woman, also feel that the Northeast Army You’re so cowardly, why did you lose the outside of the pass without firing a single shot. Your brother kept scolding the Northeast Army for being incapable of harming the country. He united a group of people and asked the leader to kill the traitors.”

On the one hand, Bai Xiongqi was angry about the fall of the Northeast, and on the other hand, he seized the opportunity and wanted a certain position in Nanjing.Qingqiu sighed, and pulled Xiaozhu over to straighten his clothes: "It's really exciting. I met many teams along the way, and the traffic on the street was all messed up. Our car came after a long detour. , It's already this time, why haven't Xiuzhu and Tang Lide come yet? Don't let it be that they are also blocked on the road. "

While talking, the concierge came in and reported: "Miss Xiuzhu and uncle are here!" When everyone heard that Xiuzhu was coming, they all stood up to welcome the new couple.Xiuzhu's face was brimming with happiness, she stood beside Tang Lide in a loving manner, her face was full of shyness.Tang Lide looked at the relatives of the Bai family with a happy face.The joy of the bride returning home temporarily dilutes everyone's anxiety about the future of the country, and everyone went forward to say hello to the embroidered beads together.

After the banquet, everyone sat and chatted together in twos and threes.Tang Lide was naturally pulled by Xie Bai Xiongqi to sit with the men of the Bai family to discuss the current situation. "The Japanese are very ambitious. I have traveled to Japan in the past and found that their country has always had the ambition to annex us, but now they have no name, and they can't seize the big land outside the customs for the sake of two missing soldiers." Land. Is the country just watching and doing nothing?" Tang Lide was also very worried about the country's situation, "My cousin wanted to join the army, and the whole family was arguing over this matter. Although my cousin is not the only child in the family, but You have all seen him, my aunt has a special preference for him, how can she ask her sweetheart to join the army, she is very sad, and she asked us to persuade him not to go. But my cousin is determined to go." Talking about the troubles at home , Tang Lide couldn't help but sighed.

The topic of the women on this side is not influenced too much by national affairs, it is still about clothes and jewelry, but the most important topic is not the young lady who gave birth to a son, nor the famous opera singer who came to Shanghai recently.Now the topic of the ladies has become whether to exchange their spare money for gold bars, and whether to buy an extra house in the concession.Qingqiu listened silently to everyone's experience in housekeeping, secretly rejoicing in her heart that in order to buy a house for Mrs. Leng a few days ago, she had already bought a house in the French Concession.Mrs. Leng can't live in so many houses by herself, and she can rent out the remaining rooms in the future.The real estate in the countryside should also think about how to deal with it.Although the harvest has been good in the past few years, once wars swarm, the real estate in the countryside can only be a burden.

While Qingqiu was thinking about how to deal with the future situation, Xiuzhu quietly tugged on Qingqiu's sleeve, seeing Xiuzhu's hesitant expression, Qingqiu pulled Xiuzhu to excuse that the air in the house was too stuffy, the two of them were in the garden The walk inside went raw. "Sister-in-law Qingqiu, yesterday Yanxi suddenly called me to borrow money, and he said he wanted to borrow money from me to make a turnaround."

Yanxi spends a lot of money. Although she is now a famous director and actor, and has made many famous movies, Yanxi's photos can often be seen hanging high on conspicuous seats in the windows of photo studios.But the salary of an actor is only so much. Yanxi has always been extravagant, and she likes to show off more when she is a star. It is understandable that she has no money.But how could Yanxi borrow money from Xiuzhu?

"Your current status should keep a little distance from Yanxi. You should not get too close to Yanxi. He asked you what happened to borrow money?" Borrowing money from Xiuzhu must be something Yanxi wants to do.

"He said he wanted to make a film to promote the anti-Japanese war, but unfortunately he didn't have any money and asked me if I could help him with some money. I don't need money to spend, and I think I should do my best for the affairs of the country. But How should I tell Lide?" Xiuzhu has completely let go of her previous obsession with Yanxi, she also wants to do her best for Yanxi's proposal, and only Xiuzhu is worried about Tang Lide's thoughts.

"What's so hard to say? You just talk to him. Yanxi must have no other way to find you. Since you and Tang Lide are married, it's not good for husband and wife to hide each other. You should be a husband and wife. That's right." Qingqiu and Xiuzhu were talking about how husband and wife get along.

"If I tell him, Lide will definitely support Yanxi's filming. You don't know, sister-in-law Qingqiu, since the accident outside the customs, he hasn't mentioned the matter of starting a company again. I think he also wants to join the army?" Xiuzhu The worry was not that Jin Yanxi came to borrow money, but that Tang Lide was really going to join the army.

"To serve the country, a passionate man should be like this. Don't look at your cousin who hasn't said anything all day, but I know that he must have the same meaning in his heart as Tang Lide." Qingqiu seemed to have a premonition, deeply sigh.

The newlywed happiness disappeared from Xiuzhu's face, she frowned and looked at the light gray sky: "It's going to rain again, when will it be sunny?"

Qingqiu's premonition was quickly verified, and winter came early after a month of continuous rain.Zhang Ma helplessly chattered with Qingqiu about how much money was spent on buying coal this winter: "The price of rice is still stable now, but the price of coal is rising day by day. This year, I bought it at once according to the young lady's order Coal for the whole winter, even if it is like this, it still pays a lot more than last year? I heard that the price has risen again today, and those who can only buy coal by the day have a hard time." Zhang Ma was very helpless and said : "Nowadays the prices of many things on the market are rising accordingly. Young Mistress sees if we need to buy more winter vegetables for storage. In previous years when we were in Beiping, no one in every household would buy hundreds of catties of cabbage and radishes for storage."

"What's the weather like in Beiping and what's the climate in Shanghai? Where do you go to buy cabbage? In this weather, you can buy hundreds of catties of vegetables and put them away in less than a month. I think it's better to bring more food from the countryside, dry goods. You can prepare more appropriately. Both Yuanyuan and Xiaozhu can’t lose their children’s growth when they grow up. As for other things, I see that you have been nagging all day long to save some cotton and fabrics. Seeing what you mean, let's go to the streets tomorrow." Qingqiu felt that Zhang Ma's practice of saving everything that could be saved could only temporarily relieve the crisis, and once China and Japan went to war, it would definitely be a long-term process.Who can save what lasts a lifetime?At this point in the country, personal safety is not worth mentioning at all.

"Young master is back." With the sound of peach blossoms, Bai Shaoyi came in with a gust of cold wind: "Oh, it's very cold today, it's so chilly in the room, why don't you light a fire! No one else will talk about it , what do you do if you are freezing?" Bai Shaoyi rubbed her cold hands, walked to the fireplace in surprise and looked at the darkness inside the hearth, and asked Qingqiu in surprise: "I heard that the price of coal has increased, why is the money at home Not enough?" He had predicted that many things would rise in price, but he didn't expect the price to rise so ridiculously.

"No, I didn't feel cold in the house. It's just that Mama Zhang is crying here. The price of everything has gone up. She just said that she would save hundreds of catties of winter vegetables. It's very rare for you to come back so early. Recently, you still picked it up. A lot of cases fail? I thought everyone didn’t want to go to court.” I don’t know if it’s because of the influence of state affairs, people’s hearts fluctuate and everyone likes to go to court.Bai Shaoyi's law firm took over several property settlement lawsuits and divorce lawsuits at once.What lawyers like most is the estate settlement lawsuit of a big family, because no matter how the lawsuit is filed, the lawyer's fee is very generous.

"It's really a chaotic world. Some people have already quietly moved into the concession. Once they moved and transferred their property, the things that were well covered up before were exposed. Some wives found out that their husbands were in the small mansion outside. Not only They raised their concubine and even had children. Some old men were in poor health and wanted to rush to separate the family. The brothers suddenly found that they had more brothers. Anyway, they were all kinds of people, and they were even more confused. The old man was swept away by his concubine. I am faced with these things every day, and I am getting tired of my job." Sitting on the sofa, Bai Shaoyi reached out to touch Qingqiu's palm: "Your hands are very cold, why don't you take care of your body like this? How can I go out in peace?"

Qingqiu heard that there was something in Bai Shaoyi's words, and she stared at Bai Shaoyi intently: "Where are you going?" For an international lawsuit, they have selected a delegation, and I am in it." Bai Shaoyi stared into Qingqiu's eyes, and announced word by word that she would go abroad for a while.

"Don't worry, I predict that this long-term lawsuit will come to nothing. The government puts its hopes on others, but it doesn't want to go to war with Japan immediately. I think it is impossible to return to the Northeast by peaceful means. The government should be clear. The intervention of the League of Nations is limited, and it cannot achieve the expected effect at all. But other than formally declaring war, this is the only way. Otherwise, how can we appease the heated public opinion? Don't worry, I will be back soon. You and your child should be relatively close in the concession It's safe, I've already asked my eldest brother and sister-in-law to take care of you and your children. In case of war, they will take you back to your hometown together." Bai Shaoyi looked at Qingqiu firmly, and the heat in his palm continued to spread. To Qingqiu's hands.

Qingqiu's eyes were red, she hurriedly lowered her head and forced herself to hold back her tears, then raised her head and Qingqiu gave Bai Shaoyi a forced smile, although she was reluctant to leave her husband, but in Yu Guoyu's family, she couldn't even hold Bai Shaoyi selfishly. Tell him to show his ambition.Bai Shaoyi reached out and took Qingqiu into his arms. He hugged Qingqiu tightly, wishing to rub her into his body: "Don't worry, I'm safe on foreign cruise ships, and Europe is very safe. I'm not going to the battlefield with a gun , and I will be back soon. You can rest assured that I have greeted my relatives and friends. My eldest brother and my sister-in-law welcome you to move there with your children and live with them. My eldest brother got his wish and became a consultant in Nanjing. He has great ambitions I am ready to show off again. My sister-in-law is the only one left in Shanghai. She is eager to have you as her company. My sister-in-law also likes Yuan Yuan and Xiao Zhu very much. You can see that my sister-in-law loves embroidery beads. Two children They are all grown up, and it must be difficult for you to watch them alone. Isn’t it good to have someone help you? Someone will help you look after the children, and you can have more time and energy to focus on your own research when I am not at home .Do you think it would be better for me to go out for a while?"

"You have to be careful on the way, when you plan to get up, I'll pack your luggage for you." Qingqiu raised her head and looked deeply at Bai Shaoyi, wishing to imprint every detail of Bai Shaoyi's face in her heart.

Seeing that there were no traces of tears on Qingqiu's face, and his expression was as usual, Bai Shaoyi was a little relieved, but he didn't know that Qingqiu had swallowed all the tears into his stomach. "I'm going to Nanjing tomorrow, and I'm going to board the ship in five days. Because there is no suitable flight recently, we can only take the boat to Hong Kong first, and then board the boat to go to France." Hearing that Bai Shaoyi will be leaving in a few days, Qingqiu finally couldn't hold back the tears that fell down.
