Chapter 9 Chapter Ninth: There are still popular guests who come to the old mansion. I really don’t have any relatives. The emergency and disabled flowers

But Guan Xiugu saluted old lady Fan, turned around, and was about to sit down, when Mrs. Tao stopped her, but said she had something to say.Old Madam Fan said with a smile: "Xiu Gu is very tall and thick, don't joke with her." Mrs. Tao said: "I'm not joking, there are two people standing in front of me, don't you care? " Because he said to Xiugu, "there is a Mr. Fan and a Miss He. You could call them that in the past, but now you can't! I'm still confused. I don't know how old Ms. Guan is?" Xiugu said, "I I'm twenty-five years old this year." Mrs. Tao said with a smile: "The eldest family tree is two years old. Then, it's the eldest sister. This should be the family tree's coming to salute. Ms. He, you also come to see my sister."

He Lina glanced at the family tree and thought to herself: This clever lady is playing a prank again, why both of them came to pay homage to the eldest sister?Aunt Xiu had noticed it a long time ago, so she shook her hand and said, "No, no, the uncle is younger than me, so Miss He may not be younger than me, right?" Mrs. Tao said: "Miss He and Jiashu are equal. If the tree is bigger than you, she is bigger than you; if she is smaller, she is just as small. Besides, she is only twenty-four years old. Besides, you are still full of uncles and ladies, and you are also shy. From here on, you will call them by their names. "Old lady Fan said with a smile: "That's right, you can't be so polite as a family." Jiashu had an idea in his heart, and immediately smiled at Xiugu: "Eldest sister, let's change our words." Saying this, he bowed .He Lina was even more clever, and took Xiugu's hand forward and said: I have already called you eldest sister, so there is no need to change my words.nod.Old Mrs. Fan was angry and regretted that she had not given birth to a girl, but now she suddenly had a girl, but she was extremely proud.She looked at Xiugu with a smile, and said to Mrs. Tao: "Let me pay some money for some dishes to come back in the evening, so I can take care of Bohe."The wife said with a smile: "You are an elder, how dare you be, and cousin and cousin..." When she said that, she looked at He Lina, then changed her smile and said: "Both Miss He and Miss He came back from foreign countries, of course we have to greet them .Besides, you have such a heroic daughter. This is a great joy, so why don't you congratulate me." They talked lively here, and Bo He also came, so he also smiled and asked for invitation.The old lady was happy and felt that she had some face, so she agreed.

At that moment, everyone flocked to Uncle and Na into the house like a gust of wind.When He Lina saw that the two large albums with the photos were still there, she suddenly remembered that she had stolen a photo from Fengxi to prevaricate Shen Guoying. ——I don't know if Fengxi is still in the madhouse, and I don't know if Shen Guoying has found out that it is Fengxi?When she was paying attention to the photo album, Mrs. Tao had noticed it a long time ago, so she smiled and nodded with her, pulled He Lina into her bedroom, and said with a smile: "You just took a sheep and took a picture like yours." It's not your photo, you are just for fun, but it has created a relationship." Yin told her the news of Fengxi that she had received from Xiu Gu.But about Fengxi still thinking about the family tree, he refused to say.He Lina pondered and said: "This person is so strange! Shen Guoying treated her like this, why didn't she marry?" Mrs. Tao smiled and said: "Think about it, so I asked Aunt Xiu not to tell everyone about it. In fact, I would like to ask you one more thing. When she came to Peiping, she took a letter of introduction from the family tree and wanted to live in my house. I am a person who admires her very much. Of course she is welcome. She will live here for a while. She didn't have any personal affairs for a month, and was nothing more than running around for the Volunteer Army. Two days ago, she was calling someone to inquire about Feng Xi's condition. I bumped into her, and she told me the truth. She even kept it from me. Can you still tell the family tree?" He Lina laughed and said: It doesn't matter if you tell him!I have been classmates with him for five years in Germany, do I still not know what is on his mind?But... It's fine not to let him know, if he knows, it will only add another layer of sadness to his heart. "She said so, but saw the shadow of the family tree flashing outside the window. He Lina gave Mrs. Tao a wink, but came to the outside room. Sure enough, the family tree also came in from the house. He Lina laughed : Cousin always teases people. It doesn’t count if it’s public, but she has to talk on the sidelines. The wife smiled at her and didn’t argue.

Everyone happily finished dinner, He Lina said that she wanted to talk to Guan Xiugu, and asked Xiugu to come to her house so that they could have a long night's talk.Xiu Gu also thought that He Lina's family was rich and could persuade her to ask her father to help her, so she readily agreed.Mrs. Tao heard that Xiu Gu was going to He Lina's house. Xiu Gu was a straightforward person, and He Lina was a melodious person. Wouldn't it be a disturbance if she told Feng Xi all about it?So just keep your eyes on Xiu Gu.Xiugu nodded slightly, as if she understood the meaning.He Lina smiled and said, "It's okay."

The three of them were sitting on the same sofa; Jiashu, Bo and Mrs. Fan were sitting on the same sofa, so no one heard or saw her.He Lina stood up and said: "Auntie, I'm going back first." The old lady Fan said: "Yes, I just came back, and the old lady is waiting to talk to you." He Lina shook Aunt Xiu's hand and said: "Sister , go!Accompany the younger siblings to go home and come early tomorrow morning. "The old lady heard her call mother's cousin's mouth." Mrs. Tao laughed and said, "Is it just a kiss? This protects her being a girl and doesn't hurt her niece and daughter-in-law." Everyone laughed loudly. In great joy, Guan and He left.

Jiashu sat and talked with the old lady for a while, and went to rest in the study.I thought: Unexpectedly, Xiugu and I became siblings.She is becoming more and more straightforward, and her future is limitless.Having such a sister-in-law is enough, but if a man and a woman fall in love, they must be husbands?It's just that Lina and her were sneaking around, talking about Fengxi, what happened to Fengxi?Is there something wrong with her again?Tomorrow I will inquire about it.well!What is she doing?Anyway, there is nothing good, and there is nothing you can do if you find out.Because of this, he pondered for a while, then fell asleep wondering.He traveled hard all the way, and he didn't get up until ten o'clock the next day.After washing up, he was holding a cup of bitter tea, meditating by the desk.But Liu Fu came in with a name card, saying that this person was waiting at the door.Jiashu took it over and saw that it was "Shen Guoying", written in steel next to the name:

My younger brother is now a commoner, and he is determined to save his family, and he has to go to Tianjin to prepare for his departure.Customs declaration, knowing that you have completed your studies and returned to your country, you will return with great joy, and don't worry about the past. The family tree pondered for a while, then came out to welcome it.Shen Guoying rushed forward, shook hands with him in the yard and said, "It's a pleasure to meet you, it's a pleasure to meet you." Seeing his kind attitude, Jiashu invited him to sit in the living room.Shen Guoying said: "Brother, I have two things to do today, one is public and the other is private. For business, I advise you to fully contribute the chemistry you learned in Germany to the military. For private things, I want to Report a piece of shocking news to sir." So he reported his affair with Feng Xi for a while.Yindao: I took the morning train and just came back from Tianjin. Before I went home, I came to see Mr. Fan and planned to invite Mr. Fan to see her once.From now on, I can trust someone. "Jia Shu said: Brother, although you are pitiful to Fengxi, you have been too deeply stimulated, and now I can no longer accept this heavy trust." When he said that, he frowned and smiled wryly.Shen Guoying said: "Really, she is very regretful and feels sorry for Mr. Fan. No matter what you do to her, Mr. Fan, you should see her and make a final gesture, lest she just think about it." Jiashu raised his head and thought for a while. , smiled and said: "Yes, I understand. I understand Mr. Shen's meaning. Mr. Shen is now a hero who destroys his family and relieves difficulties. I should help you. Okay, let's go now. No To tell you the truth,..." At this point, he looked out of the room before continuing: "Please don't let anyone else know about this matter except brother." Shen Guoying said: "I understand. .” So Jiashu immediately walked out with him and came to General Liu’s house.

Jiashu thought all the way: Gu Xiu is at He's house, and she will never come here in the morning.So I walked through the door with confidence.Turning around a corridor, I heard the voices of two women in front of me.One said: "My heart is pounding, don't meet Shen Guoying here!" The other said: "It doesn't matter, he has gone to Tianjin. And he also plans to go out from here and not return to Beiping. Besides , he is also very good." Another laughed and said, "If it wasn't for your knight-errant bodyguard, I wouldn't have dared to come." The two women, one is He Lina, and the other is Guan Xiugu.Jiashu shrank back in fright, not knowing what to do.Shen Guoying saw him startled suddenly, but didn't understand his fate.Xin was so hesitant, but Guan and He turned around in the corridor. There was no cover in the yard, and they could see each other clearly.Xiugu was the first to call out, "Ah! The family tree is here too." He Lina blushed immediately when she saw it.And behind the family tree, there was Shen Guoying, which made her stare at him even more, speechless in a daze.The four people watched from a distance, Jiashu looked at He Lina, He Lina looked at Shen Guoying, Shen Guoying looked at Fan Jiashu, everyone was speechless.

At that moment, Xiugu turned around to meet Shen Guoying and said, "Mr. Shen, didn't you go to Tianjin?" He took off his hat, bowed to He Lina, and said, "Miss He, it's been a long time. Please don't mind about the past. I'm going to leave Peiping soon." Hearing what he said, He Lina smiled and said, "I I heard our sister Guan said that Mr. Shen is amazing, he ruined his family and relieved the difficulties, I admire it very much. Because I heard that Ms. Shen looks like me, but I have never seen it before. This morning, I asked sister Guan to bring me here Look, this is also my heartbreak, but unexpectedly I met Mr. Shen here." Jiashu said: "I also because Mr. Shen must call me to say a few last words to her. I am here for Mr. Shen I have to come here." He Lina said: "In this case, you can go to see her first, we, a large group of people, rushed into the room, some she recognized, some did not, and she was confused again when she turned around. . "Shen Guoying said: "That's true, please ask Mr. Fan and Ms. Guan to see her first. "

Faced with this request, Jiashu couldn't help but hesitate.The four of them stood in the middle of the courtyard, looking at each other, unable to explain why.Suddenly, on the other side of the flower fence, a woman walked over with the help of a young woman.oops!This young woman is none other than Fengxi.Aunt Shen was supporting her.Just because Feng Xi couldn't get bored, she helped her to walk in the yard.At this moment, Feng Xi caught sight of Fan Jiashu, and couldn't help being startled, immediately stopped, stared blankly from afar, and pointed at him, "Isn't that Uncle Fan?" She nodded her head and said, "Are you better?" Feng Xi looked at him and smiled slightly, she couldn't help lowering her head, and then looked at the family tree again, unable to move three inches at a time, walked to the family tree, and slowly moved her body. A little trembling, but the eyeballs were straight and did not turn, and suddenly asked: "Are you really Uncle Fan?" Jiashu stood upright, and said in a low voice: "Don't you know me?" Feng Xi burst into tears He got up and said: I, I waited hard!Helping Feng Xi, she said: "You are just a little bit more energetic, why are you crying again?" Feng Xi cried and said, "Mom, I have been wronged to death, and people don't understand..." Xiu Gu also walked forward and gave her a hug. He said with one hand: "Good girl, don't worry, I'll lead you to meet someone." He said, pointing at He Lina.

Then He Lina had already seen Feng Xi from a distance, she was just in a daze, now she came closer step by step.Feng Xi raised her head and looked at He Lina with tears in her eyes, but the tears flowed down her face.She looked at the clothes on He Lina's body, lowered her head and took a look at her own clothes, stared at He Lina's face for a while, and said in surprise: "Hey! Why is my shadow not the same as my clothes?" Yeah?" Xiu Gu said, "Don't talk nonsense, that's Miss He." Feng Xi stretched out both hands, stroking in mid-air, like groping for a mirror, then frowned again, rolled her eyelids and said, "No, that's not right, This is not a mirror!Worry about her.Feng Xi suddenly snorted, laughed and said, "That's interesting, my shadow is different from the clothes I wear!" Then Guan Xiugu shook Feng Xi's hand with one hand and He Lina's hand with the other, and put the two hands together. Putting their hands together for them to hold, they said to Fengxi, "Is this a person, or a shadow?" He Lina smiled and said, "I am really a person." Shrinking his hand, he shouted: "The shadow has spoken, it scared me to death!" Seeing her crazy appearance, Jiashu whispered to He Lina: "What's wrong with her?" Jiashu moved closer to He Lina when he said that When Feng Xi saw it, she jumped up and said, "Amazing! My soul is haunting Uncle Fan!" At that moment, Xiu Gu was afraid that something would happen if the quarrel continued, and it was inconvenient to tell He Lina to get out of the way, so she went forward, hugged Feng Xi by the waist, and sent her upstairs.Feng Xi jumped and said: "No, no! I want to say a few words to Uncle Fan, where is my shadow?" Xiu Gu pressed her on the bed regardless of everything, and said ruthlessly: "Don't make trouble, don't be loud, don't you Do you know how strong I am?" Feng Xi laughed and said: "This is really news! My own shadow, the clothes are not the same as mine, and she can talk." Xiugu coaxed her: "Don't make trouble, then The shadow is fake." Feng Xi said: "It's fake, I also know it's fake. Uncle Fan didn't come back, and you wronged me again, you all wronged me! Don't make fun of me like this, I made a mistake once, I won’t make a second mistake.” Then, with a wow, she started crying again. Feng Xi was crying and making noises in the room, and the three people downstairs, He, Shen, and Fan, each felt bored in three different ways.Everyone stood in a daze for a long time, but there was still a lot of trouble upstairs.It was not good for the three of them to leave, and it was not good not to leave, so they listened upstairs to each other silently.Suddenly, there was no sound from upstairs.The three of them thought that her madness had stopped when they saw Xiu Gu jumping out of the house, standing by the railing, waving her hands to the yard and saying, "It's not good, I'm dying, go to the doctor! "The three of them asked together: "What's the matter?" Xiu Gu didn't answer, but she heard Aunt Shen crying upstairs.Both Shen Guoying and Fan Jiashu raised their feet and wanted to go upstairs to have a look. Xiugu waved her hands and said, "Get a doctor quickly, it will be too late." Jiashu said, "Is there a phone here?" Shen Guoying said, "This is Empty room, where is the phone call?" Fan Jiashu said: "Is there a hospital nearby?" Shen Guoying said: "Yes." So they both turned around and walked outside, leaving He Lina alone in the yard.Xiu Gu jumped up and said: "It's really bad!"Waiting for the doctor, it is impossible to get one for a moment!Really anxious, really anxious.After Xiu Gu finished speaking, she also went in. Although He Lina didn't care about Feng Xi, most women's hearts were compassionate. Seeing this, she couldn't help panicking like them, so she went upstairs to see how Feng Xi was doing.I saw her lying on a small iron bed, with her eyes closed, her hair unkempt, sleeping on her back, without any movement.Aunt Shen sat down on a chair in front of the bed, pressed her thighs with both hands, and cried.Xiugu walked up to the bed and called out: "Fengxi! Big sister! Big sister!" As she spoke, she shook her hand and shook it a few times.Feng Xi didn't answer, nor did she move.Xiugu stamped her feet and said, "It's no good, it's useless, why are you so fast?" He Lina saw that a lively person just now had no rest, and she couldn't help feeling sad for a while, and shed tears.Xiugu jumped a few times, then jumped out of the room again, and said anxiously: "Why hasn't the doctor come? I'm so anxious!" He Lina waved her hand to Xiugu, "Don't worry, I understand a little bit, It’s just that I didn’t bring any equipment.” Xiu Gu said: “Look! We are really confused. There is a doctor who has returned from studying in Germany in front of us, but we are going outside to find a doctor. Girl, take a quick look.” He Lina walked towards Before, he unbuttoned Fengxi, listened to her chest with his ears, and then looked at her nose, it turned white, took a step back in fright, shook his head and said: "It's hopeless, my heart is broken. " While speaking, Shen Guoying was sweating and led a doctor in.He Lina pulled Xiugu's hand to the outside of the corridor, and said quietly: "The heart is broken, and the symptoms of sepsis have reached the face. This kind of disease only takes a few minutes quickly, and it is absolutely hopeless. Family tree He is here, please persuade him well." Sure enough, Jiashu brought another doctor to the yard.When the doctor came in, the doctor had already gone downstairs.Say hello to the doctor and go together. Jia Shu was about to go upstairs when Xiu Gu came downstairs and stopped him, saying: "You don't have to go up, she has passed. Finally I can meet you, everything is arranged by Mr. Shen." Jia Shu Said: "That won't work, I have to see." Then, regardless of everything, he rushed upstairs, jumped into the room, fell on the bed, and cried loudly: "I hurt you, I hurt you, early Knowing this, why not let you sing the drums at the Xiannong Altar for the rest of your life!" At this time, the former site of General Liu's Mansion was a large house with seven or eight layers of courtyards. Only the first floor was occupied by people, and it was quiet. Footsteps in one courtyard could be heard in the front and rear courtyards.At this time, the sound of crying in the building was broadcast from mid-air, and the sparrows sleeping peacefully on the eaves of the other yard were scared away.Shen Guoying's love for Fengxi is the same, but the relationship is nothing more than that, he cannot cry, and he has to cry.So a man came downstairs and only walked towards the deserted courtyard.There was no one looking around in the yard, and the long vines on the rockery were swaying in the wind.A ruined apricot tree in the corner of the house, half covered by cobwebs, blossomed all over the ground.A gopher slithered into the stone steps, full of ghosts.When Shen Guoying arrived at this time, he really saw a ghost and cried out.In broad daylight, why there are ghosts will be explained next time.
