Golden Pink Building

Face to face with Zhao Yihan again, Qingqiu felt relieved for no reason, the previous vigilance, jealousy, nervousness and jealousy disappeared.The Zhao Yihan in front of him was still the same person, but his temperament and demeanor were completely different.She will no longer deliberately show the femininity of women in a seemingly natural way, and smile sweetly at men.I will no longer cater to other people's wishes, act gentle and generous, and will not suddenly giggle to attract others' attention.Now Zhao Yihan didn't have the deliberate decorations before, he just wore a fitted dress, his hair was tied into a bun behind his neck, and he didn't even have any jewelry.

"So it's Ms. Zhao, didn't you go to Russia for further studies? Are you coming back soon?" Qingqiu calmly smiled at Zhao Yihan and exchanged greetings.Qingqiu was secretly surprised that she greeted Zhao Yihan calmly, which was really unimaginable before.A woman's intuition is the most accurate. Qingqiu's sixth sense tells her that Zhao Yihan has completely let go of her obsession with Bai Shaoyi, and her sharpness and sharpness have been worn away.Zhao Yihan, who has been washed away and restless, is still a good person.

Zhao Yihan was also surprised by Qingqiu's calm attitude, Bai Shaoyi nodded to Zhao Yihan, ignoring the flash of surprise in her eyes: "That's right, the universities in Russia are not bad, but the weather is too cold. Are you coming back?" Are you on vacation?"

"I think that what I learned in the school over there is all about books. I spent almost the first 20 years of my life in reading. I suddenly found out why I read so many books? Then I put my good Is my time wasted in books? I did it for reading. After a few months in Russia, I figured it out. I read to pursue new ideas and live a different life. I read a novel there and finally understood The meaning of reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles. Some things cannot be understood just by reading. I am working in Guangzhou now, and I work in the women's department there. This time I came to Shanghai to pick up some Russian guests to Guangzhou. How much do I know? Now that I have learned some Russian, I can communicate with Russian guests, and it will be more convenient on the road. I will go back to Guangzhou tomorrow." Zhao Yihan lowered his head slightly, his gaze fell far away.

This is another Zhao Yiping!Fortunately, it's not too extreme. According to Zhao Yihan's temperament of refusing to admit defeat and daring to do things, taking it to Guangzhou is a good place. "You look more confident. I think Mr. Zhao will be relieved to know what you look like now. By the way, your brother is also there. You should contact him." Bai Shaoyi suddenly remembered that Zhao Zhongshu was also in Guangzhou That's right, I thought to myself that Zhao Zhongshu and Zhao Yihan had been arguing since childhood, but now they are all in the same camp, and finally the brothers and sisters have unified their opinions.It would be an unexpected result if they could pick up the brother-sister relationship.Unexpectedly, when Zhao Yihan heard Bai Shaoyi mention it, Zhao Zhongshu's face froze, she pulled the corner of her mouth, and forced out a sentence: "If you have anything to do, write to him directly. I'm not a messenger."

"It's not that Shao Yi wants to arrest the messenger, it's just that we're going back to our hometown in Yangzhou in a few days, and I want to ask if you brothers and sisters have any important messages to bring to the people in your hometown. But it seems that you are all busy people, so I won't disturb you It's gone." Bai Shaoyi didn't expect Zhao Yihan to say directly that he and Zhao Zhongshu were not familiar, which would be a bit embarrassing, Qingqiu hurriedly spoke out.

"My brother and I have always disagreed, so don't mind. I have nothing to say to people in my hometown, and I don't know about others." Zhao Yihan nodded to Qingqiu, his tone indifferent.

Qingqiu frowned, but still couldn't help lowering his voice: "We met Lingmei on the road, although it's your family's business, but after all, you are a compatriot of the same mother, if you have a chance to see her, you should persuade her."

When mentioning her sister, Zhao Yihan's eyes became complicated, but she quickly returned to normal, and said coldly: "She is already an adult, and I am not a feudal patriarch, so I can tie her down for a lifetime. I probably figured it out." Her current situation. There are times in life when you are young and frivolous, and you won’t grow up if you don’t fall hard and take a detour. I have lost her news for a long time, but I still want to thank you for helping her.” Zhao Yihan Seemingly guessing the situation of the little girl, she had a complicated expression and thanked Qingqiu.

Qingqiu suddenly remembered the relationship between Zhao Yihan and Ouyang Yujian in the past, and was a little embarrassed for a while. The two sisters were not clear about a man. Although she didn't know what Zhao Yihan was thinking, if she was in Zhao Yihan's seat, she didn't want to hear about it. All the news about my sister and her ex-husband. "Oh, it's nothing. She should be fine now." Qingqiu responded awkwardly, but she really had nothing to say.

"My sister, I know her character very well. You outsiders only see that she doesn't talk much, and never say no in front of others. You just think she is a sweet and soft temper. In fact, this sister of mine has something in mind. , she used to be young and didn't have much knowledge. She could only listen to what others said, but now she is an adult, and she has a fair idea. You know what happened to me and my sister, and there is nothing to be embarrassed about. I don’t mind, and you don’t have to worry about it. It’s impossible to say who was right and who was wrong at the beginning. It can only be said that the two of us were together because of a misunderstanding and separated because of an understanding. I complained." Zhao Yihan talked a lot with Qingqiu calmly, and Qingqiu also listened to Zhao Yihan's confession calmly and seriously.Neither of them expected that they could get along peacefully.

"It's hard to say who's right and who's wrong when it comes to feelings, like a person who knows how warm and cold the water is. You're leaving for Guangzhou tomorrow. If it's convenient, we can send you off." Qingqiu thought about Zhao Yihan, a girl struggling alone in a strange city, but poor man.

Zhao Yihan looked at Qingqiu silently for a while, and she looked Qingqiu up and down, as if she didn't know her.It's not that Qingqiu hasn't been scrutinized by Zhao Yihan before, but whether she scrutinized Qingqiu or peeped at Qingqiu in the past, there was a sense of comparison.This time Zhao Yihan's eyes were different from before, she looked at Qingqiu without jealousy and comparison, but rather with appreciation.Qingqiu felt uncomfortable being looked at by her, thinking that this Zhao Yihan is really unpredictable, she no longer had the arrogance and frivolity of the past, but people are not used to it. "Oh, it's fine if it's inconvenient. We'll see each other anyway." Qingqiu thought it was Zhao Yihan who was still wary of her, and hurriedly explained.

"I used to be blinded by vanity and blamed my mistakes on others. You are indeed a woman worthy of David's love for life. Your personalities are really suitable. I am here to pick up foreign guests to Guangzhou Yes, I have very little luggage. I am a person who is used to wandering outside, and I can handle it alone. I heard that you have a little princess, but unfortunately you don’t have time to visit her. I think your daughter will be very happy Beautiful, because her parents are a pair of lovers." Speaking of the child, Zhao Yihan's eyes and tone unconsciously became very gentle, surrounded by a group of purposeful people, speaking false flattery, Zhao Yihan His eyes fell on Bai Shaoyi and Qingqiu.

Whether a husband and wife are harmonious or not cannot be concealed. Seeing Bai Shaoyi and Qingqiu's subtle and sweet movements, and thinking of how wrong he has been all these years, Zhao Yihan couldn't help feeling that he was really too confused at the time.Letting go of her previous paranoia, she felt that Qingqiu was actually a very good woman.

"Cousin, what's wrong with you?" Meili was happily talking to Xie Yushu, but Bai Shaoyi caught her. "You heartless little thing, hurry up and call your sister-in-law over!" Bai Shaoyi made an angry gesture to knock Mei Li on the forehead. No——Bai Shaoyi really didn't have the courage to go up and take Qingqiu away, but she was also worried that Zhao Yihan might be playing tricks and slandering herself in front of Qingqiu.He thought for a long time and had no choice but to ask Meili to take Qingqiu away.

"Oh, I think you're overthinking. Qingqiu's sister-in-law and that Miss Zhao don't seem to be trying to figure it out. They reconciled, aren't you the biggest beneficiary?" Meili glanced at Qingqiu and Zhao Yihan in confusion. , I think my cousin is worrying unfoundedly.

This kid is not cute at all!Bai Shaoyi glared at Meili, and urged her to call Qingqiu over.Over there, Zhao Yihan had seen Bai Shaoyi's small movements a long time ago, she smiled at Qingqiu and said, "You'd better go there, otherwise Bai Shaoyi will really lose her gentlemanly demeanor and go crazy in front of everyone. We always have Goodbye chance. I have something to tell you, be careful of Ouyang Yujian, he is too paranoid and will do extreme things. You and Shao Yi are different from me. I have nothing to worry about, no one else You can threaten me. But you have families and children, so you have to think more about it."

Qingqiu remembered seeing Ouyang with other women the day he first arrived in Shanghai, and looked at Zhao Yihan with a serious face: "I think the doctrines you support are the same, why did you become like this. Thank you for reminding me, I actually came to Shanghai on the day I just saw him, it's really unworthy of your sister."

"Our beliefs are not exactly the same. I just agree with some ideas. Maybe I am still a conservative person in my bones. You know, in order to unite the revolution, I have a dual identity and have joined both parties. What does Ouyang say What? It's too idealistic, and many people in their party disapprove of his radicalism." Zhao Yihan held the wine glass in his hand and carefully looked at the clear liquid in the glass: "I left him because I was completely disappointed in him. Now, a person who can only shirk responsibility cannot be relied on."

Qingqiu thought of Ouyang's entanglement, and she sighed with empathy: "Differences do not conspire with each other. The past is over, and I will bring up your troubles."

"I'm regretting why I didn't understand it earlier, and I took a lot of detours for nothing. If I had known you earlier, I wouldn't have found many troubles in vain." Zhao Yihan smiled at Qingqiu as he spoke, and turned to greet others.

On the way home, Bai Shaoyi kept spying on Qingqiu secretly. Mei Li glanced at her cousin and then at her sister-in-law, fearing that the world would not break the news: "Sister-in-law Qingqiu, you don't know, my cousin saw you talking to Miss Zhao's family." , jumping in a hurry to ask me to find you back?"

"You girl is talking nonsense, what kind of stingy person am I!" Bai Shaoyi immediately blocked Mei Li's mouth in a very corrupt manner.

"He has the heart of a villain and the heart of a gentleman. The current Zhao Yihan is not the former Zhao Yihan. She has no love for children in her heart, only ambition. I am a little envious of her now, not relying on men, relying on herself, Go your own way, and make a career like a man." Qingqiu deliberately made an envious tone, and sighed faintly: "I didn't want to make a career before, but who knew it was born I was delayed. Mei Li, you are still young, so think about it clearly. It is good to marry, but you can no longer be casual after you are married. You see, Zhao Yihan is now independent and flourishing. She used to be the member of the Zhao family. Miss Qianjin, to be someone's wife. It's just relying on others. Everyone still treats her mostly because of her family background, and everyone stays away from her because of an accident in her family. You see, people treat her very badly now. Whether she really admires her or follows others, it is all social status she has earned herself."

"Who dares to look down on you, I think that both housewives and career women should be respected, especially housewives should be respected, they give up their career development opportunities, and dedicate themselves to their families is the greatest .Father and mother are coming to Shanghai. Our family will always go back to our hometown, and then we can go to other places in Shanghai. In fact, the universities in Shanghai are also good. An excellent student like you, no matter which one All schools are popular. From now on, your academic achievements will attract the attention of the world!" Bai Shaoyi hurriedly sang Qingqiu's praises, and secretly scolded Zhao Yihan in her heart, if you find your own stage, you will be less embarrassed in front of Qingqiu, a woman's mind is hard Thinking about it, it is estimated that Qingqiu wants to improve her career better than Zhao Yihan with her talent and learning, and she is a little disappointed.

Qingqiu gave Bai Shaoyi a sensible look, then changed the subject and talked about Xie Yushu with Mei Li.Meili's shy and coquettish complaints and Qingqiu's kind sarcasm were heard next to her ears, Bai Shaoyi breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that Zhao Yihan's turmoil was completely over.Zhao Zhongshu should be relieved to see his sister on the right path, but when will Zhao Yiping end.

Bai Wenxin and his wife finally came to Shanghai from Beijing. When the family met, they remembered the reasons for leaving Beijing, and everyone had mixed feelings.Qingqiu looked at the tiredness showing from the corners of Mrs. Bai's eyes, and said apologetically, "It's because we are ignorant, we can't accept joy, be filial to our parents, and let our parents suffer. It's really unfilial."

"We are satisfied with your filial piety. That matter has nothing to do with you. If you have to find out who is wrong, it is that kid who must have behaved badly in school and laughed at everyone. I told you, This place is different from England. You put away that gentlemanly demeanor for me outside, and you are very attentive to that woman. It’s no wonder that people will get it wrong! Why don’t you meet a fierce and fierce woman and call her I misunderstood that you wanted to tease her, so I gave you a good spanking so that your memory will be long! Do as the Romans do! I taught you for nothing." Mrs. Bai patted her daughter-in-law's hand in relief, told Qingqiu not to mind, and turned around and said nothing. The son glanced.

"When we first met, I didn't like my eyes. I was surprised. Who is your biological child, Qingqiu or me? As soon as we met, you will attack me!" Bai Shaoyi rubbed his nose boredly and complained in a low voice.

"Your mother's words are all wise and well-known. You are too reckless. You have a lot to learn in the future." Bai Wenxin taught his son with court training style. The tradition of the Bai family is to marry a daughter-in-law. Extremely cautious, but after the daughter-in-law entered the door, there were conflicts between the young couple, and the elders always spoke to the daughter-in-law, at least in face.It is also the way to harmony and prosperity not to pick on the faults of the daughter-in-law easily.

Naturally, Bai Shaoyi knew how the family behaved. He made an aggrieved look, touched his nose and said sullenly, "Where did I say a few words to her? It's a disaster. Let's go back first." After talking, everyone got into the car. carry.Because her parents also came, Bai Shaoyi couldn't live in Lawyer Li's house anymore. They packed up the house in Shanghai and moved in.Mrs. Leng had gone back to her hometown in Gusu to visit her mother a few days ago. The Bai family and the Jin family's ancestral home was in Yangzhou, so they also wanted to go back to visit their hometown.

When they entered the door, Osmanthus fragrans was chasing Yuan Yuan all over the yard. Yuan Yuan saw many people coming in. She flickered her eyes and watched them carefully for a while. Bai Wenxin smiled at his granddaughter: "It's been a few months apart Forget about grandpa and grandma. See what grandpa brought you?" As he spoke, Bai Wenxin took out an extremely small grasshopper cage from his pocket.It was the filigree inlay that Bai Wenxin bought from Liulichang, and he used gold silk to weave the grasshopper cage.

Yuan Yuan stared at her grandparents, as if she was thinking about something, she smiled for a while, ran to Madam Bai and threw herself into her arms.Mrs. Bai bent over to pick up her granddaughter, Yuan Yuan hugged Mrs. Bai's neck and kissed her cheek: "Grandma, the journey has been hard." Yuan Yuan smiled at Bai Wenxin and went to kiss her grandfather on the cheek.

Bai Wenxin and his wife listened to the little granddaughter's words, and their happiness almost melted. Mrs. Bai hugged the child excitedly, and kissed her chubby little face: "My little baby, I miss you so much. We are on the way No hard work, seeing you as a little thing, there is no hard work."

"Yuan Yuan can speak eloquently at only one year old. This child is definitely precocious. If he is properly cultivated in the future, he will definitely become a great talent." Bai Wenxin teased his little granddaughter in his wife's arms.

When everyone entered the house, they thanked each other for their hard work. Bai Wenxin leaned on the sofa relaxedly and looked around the furnishings in the house, "The house hasn't changed. I bought this house in Shanghai when your mother and I got married. It hasn't changed all these years." How has it changed? It’s just that the decoration inside the house is a bit outdated. Wait for it to be repaired slowly. I have no official position and a light body, so I should enjoy a few days of leisurely life with my grandchildren and gardening of flowers and plants.” Said Bai Wen The letter talked about the situation in Beijing.The situation in Beijing is becoming more and more tense, and many dissidents have been arrested and killed.Some teaching scholars have deep opinions on the tyranny of the authorities. Some of them have already left Beijing or went to Shanghai, or went to Guangzhou, Fujian and other places.

Many officials were panicked, but they depended on others to make a living, so they could only bear with their dissatisfaction.However, some well-connected people have already begun to find a way out.As he said that, Bai Wenxin frowned slightly: "Xiongqi wants to invite you to walk around with Guangzhou. His prime minister is really tasteless, and it is difficult to get away if he wants to shake his hand. You and Zhao Zhongshu are not close friends, but he still strongly invites you. Where are you going. What do you mean?"

"I'd like to go over there to have a look. I haven't seen Zhongshu for a long time. Although we often correspond, we still need to talk face to face. As for going to Guangzhou to find a job, father, do you think they still have to hold back in the southern corner of the country? ?The north side is already in its prime and declining. It looks huge, but in fact, the inner capsule is all empty and only an empty shelf is left. It looks like a monster made of paper. It can be collapsed in one breath. I don’t need this either. It’s time to rush to the past, but people will look down on you.” Bai Shaoyi has her own views on the situation, and things will happen in Guangzhou sooner or later.

"You're right. It's getting late. Everyone is tired on the road and rest early. We will leave for our hometown Yangzhou the day after tomorrow. It's really a long time since I left my hometown." Bai Wenxin remembered how little he was Leaving home, I sighed with emotion.At the beginning, he wanted to start a career, but after years of struggling outside, Bai Ding returned home alone.

My father is returning to his hometown in desperation. I think someone must have contacted my father to take up a job in the new government.There are quite a few old students of yours in Guangzhou.Knowing that her father still had something to tell him, Bai Shaoyi went up to help Bai Wenxin go upstairs.

The Bai family set off from Shanghai and arrived in Yangzhou soon along the river.When Qingqiu set foot on the ground of Yangzhou, she suddenly remembered that she boarded a boat from this canal pier and left Yangzhou, and never came back since then.Although Lin Ruhai was originally from Gusu, his family spent most of their time in Yangzhou.This place has the best memories of her last life. Her parents love her, she talks and laughs casually, and there are many servants to serve her. Everything can be done according to her mind.It's just that happy life is short.Since Jia Min's illness, her life has lost the sunshine.

"What do you think? Yangzhou can't compare with Shanghai and Beijing, but the Slender West Lake is worth a visit. Let's go to the lake when we have free time." Bai Shaoyi interrupted Qingqiu, who was in a trance, and the car from the Bai family to pick them up was already waiting. It's been half a day.

Qingqiu smiled slightly, thinking to herself that she may not know less about Yangzhou than Bai Shaoyi, it was Bai Shaoyi who really left her hometown when she was young, and followed her parents to other places.

After all, Yangzhou is a prosperous place in the south of the Yangtze River. Although the streets are not as modern and prosperous as Shanghai, they are still densely populated, and the shops on the streets still retain the characteristics of the past.The car walked for a while and turned into a deep and narrow alley. Qingqiu sat in the car and looked at the scenery outside. The feeling of familiarity in his heart became deeper and deeper. Waiting for the car to stop, Qingqiu raised his eyes to see the two closed doors. There are two inconspicuous bluestone gates at the gate, with patterns of lotus and egret on them.On the door pier on one side, there is a mandarin duck hidden under the lotus leaf.Suddenly, Qingqiu's heart felt hot, and she went around for a while, and she came back again, but things were different, and her parents were long gone.

"Qingqiu, what's wrong with you? Why are you crying?" Bai Shaoyi's concerned tone brought Qingqiu back to reality.
