When Second Sister Chen arrived at Xizhimen, she immediately changed to a rickshaw and went back to Bird Clothes Lane, as if she had something urgent to do.In fact, it has nothing to do with herself, even if she passed the message to Mrs. Jin, she was not in a hurry.But in her heart, she only wants to get to the old residence of the Jinzhai as soon as possible.When she got to the gate, the first thing that caught her eyes was a little strange, the gate that had never been closed before had been closed, and only one was opened for people to enter.It was empty outside the gate, not a car nor a person.A few locust trees had fallen many half-yellow leaves on the ground, and the wind was blowing, rolling up the black sand and whirling around.Second Sister Chen gave the fare, and entered through the open door. The gate was closed tightly, and a note was pasted on the door.Second Sister Chen knew a few characters at first, but she half guessed and half recognized. Seeing that it said that the postman please deliver the letter at the inner gate, there was probably no one at the front door.From here, the outer living room and the house where the messenger coachman lives are all closed.More than half of the bonsai placed outside the corridor had also been moved.When he reached the second door of the building, Jin Rong poked his head out and asked, "Second sister is back, where is the old lady?" Second sister Chen said, "I came back alone. Why is there no one in front?" Jin Rong said, "Where is the old lady inside?" Is there someone else?" Second Sister Chen said: "Why is there no one inside?" Jin Rong said: "Look." Second Sister Chen walked back, it was really quiet.There are many wooden utensils upside down in the corridor, which seem to be here, waiting to be moved.The hall downstairs used to be the greatest reception room, but now it is empty, with only two or three tables and chairs scattered around, the windows are closed everywhere, and there are still some glass windows that have fallen from the glass windows, hanging everywhere. All the curtains were removed, and there were a lot of shredded paper and wood chips and a bit of thick dust all over the floor.I was thinking like this in my heart, why is it so chaotic?I saw Li Sheng carrying a burden and came out with a sad face and bowed his head.Second Sister Chen said: "Master Li, where do you send the things?" Li Sheng squatted down and said, "Second Sister Chen, I'm leaving." Second Sister Chen said: "Yo! Master Li is an old man." Li Sheng stood and looked back , said in a low voice: "It's only my fault that I said a few more words. But again, we are not the kind of people who eat the master's food and hope that something will happen to the master's house. If you say this, you can always listen to it." The uncle is not happy, he said to me today, let me go home to rest, the wages were paid according to the day, and I was rewarded with a hundred yuan. This burden is the old clothes that Qiye rewarded me. Sister Chen, I did not expect With this ending, I plan to go up the mountain tomorrow to bid farewell to the old lady." Second Sister Chen said, "Don't go." Then she told about Mrs. Jin's situation on the mountain.Li Sheng sighed and said: "Then, please say goodbye to my wife for me. Uncle will move to live in a new house in Xicheng the day after tomorrow, and I will come again in the next two days. Goodbye." Then he rubbed his eyes with his sleeve and left .

Second Sister Chen went to the upper room, and first saw Feng Ju coming. He stepped on a pair of shoes, but the buttons of his jacket were unbuttoned, and he paced back and forth down the corridor with a cigarette in his mouth.Before Second Sister Chen stepped forward, she called out to me from a long distance.When Fengju saw it, he was surprised, and asked, "Why are you here? Is there something wrong?" Second Sister Chen said, "It's nothing. Fifth Miss, Sixth Miss and Seventh Master are leaving the day after tomorrow. The old lady asked me to come and have a look." " Fengju said: "The weather is bad today, otherwise, I will go to Xishan today, and I will go tomorrow. What are you looking at?" Second sister Chen said: "The old lady said, I won't let you go." Peifang listened to her , stretched out his hand in the room to beckon her, and let her in.When Second Sister Chen went in to take a look, the house was completely different. The first thing was that the surrounding walls were empty, and all the calligraphy and paintings were removed.Even the number of tables and chairs has decreased a lot, but there are more chests and cabinets, all piled up everywhere.Peifang said: "Look, we are all gone, we are the only two left, and we can't guard this big house. So we have to leave. We moved the day after tomorrow. Why doesn't the old lady let people go? I still have There are many things to report." After hearing this, Second Sister Chen didn't know if she could tell the truth, so she said in a general way: "You don't know about the old lady's temper?" Pei Fang didn't expect that either. If there are any special circumstances, I never asked.

Second Sister Chen sat down for a while, and then came back to Minzhi's room. It was even more messy here, only the bed and the table did not move.The second sister Chen asked, "When I get on the bus the day after tomorrow, why did I put away my luggage two or three days ago?" The meaning told.Minzhi frowned and said: "What does this mean? We may come back in three to five years when we go out this time, why won't the old lady let us meet before leaving?" Second Sister Chen said: "I'll tell you slowly at night. You If you have anything to do in the city, just do it." Min Zhi said: "I don't understand this, is it possible that the old lady is angry with the people we are leaving and doesn't want to see us?" Second Sister Chen said: "Of course There is a reason, what are you busy with?" Runzhi listened to it, frowned for a long time and said, "Why is Second Sister Chen like this? Just keep it in your stomach if you have something to say. If you hold it back until night, tell us, We can't live a good day, and we will always think about it in our hearts." Second sister Chen said: "As long as the two ladies don't go up the mountain, I can tell you." So Mrs. Jin died in front of the Buddha for two days Sitting situation, said roughly.Minzhi and Runzhi looked at each other, silent for a long time.Run Zhi frowned and said: "The old lady's situation is such that she will be ashamed and haggard. If we leave, she will become more and more indifferent to the world. Aren't we forcing the old man to go to Liangshan?" Min Zhi sighed and said "Of course, but it's not just one or two of us who bear this kind of responsibility." Runzhi said: "We must not let our mother live on the mountain like this for the rest of my life. I won't leave now. We must settle her down. I just set off. Otherwise, we will be thousands of miles away, separated by oceans, and we will not be at ease no matter what we do." Min Zhi also nodded and said: "Sure enough, I think it is only after the mother's affairs are settled. Let's go." Second Sister Chen frowned and said, "Hey! This is my fault." Min Zhi said, "What's the matter with you? Do you think that if you don't come to report, we don't want to go up the mountain tomorrow? See the old lady That way, of course we can't leave." Second Sister Chen stood aside, silent for a long time, then suddenly smiled and said: "I think, it's better to ask Miss Fourth to come back, there must be a way." Runzhi smiled and said: " Are you saying that the two of us can't come up with a good idea?" The second sister Chen said: "My lady, how early do I dare to say that? I think the fourth lady is an aunt who has gone out of the door and has experience in some things. , or what she said, the old lady just believes a little." Min Zhi thought for a while and said: "It's not bad to find it and talk about it, then, you can go and make a phone call." Second Sister Chen is also afraid that this matter will freeze , so I called Daozhi.Daozhi originally wanted to come back because her siblings were going out, but when she got this call, she would come home right away.When he saw Minzhi and knew the details, he said: "If you want to go, just go. The old lady and these children are by her side. If there is anything else, we can't take care of it. Do you have to keep you in Beijing? And you don't want to leave?" Let's go, maybe the old lady is willing to go down the mountain, maybe she is even more unhappy because of this incident." Minzhi and Runzhi didn't make up their minds, so they called Yanxi to discuss it, and Yanxi was the best Talk, he said, and listen to the two sisters.Daozhi smiled and said: "So, why do people want you to discuss it? I think it's better for you to leave. Once you come, everyone has made plans, and there are still people waiting in foreign countries. If you don't go, the waiting people don't know yet." There is a change of mind. Second, you are not leaving obviously because of the old lady. The old lady is absolutely unwilling to take this kind of responsibility. It has missed the future of the seventh child and missed the wedding of the fifth and sixth younger sisters. The old lady was resting very well. Yes, it's just because you disturbed her, so you can't rest. For the sake of Mrs. Gu Quan, do you think you should go or not?" Hearing this, the three of them studied it carefully. I have to leave, since the fourth sister has given these reasons, there is no need to stay in Beijing.After several hours of deliberation, it turned out that they left as scheduled.But there is another question, that is, do the three people who are leaving want to go to Xishan to bid farewell to Mrs. Jin?Daozhi strongly advocated not to go, saying: "The old lady didn't want to see you, so she let the second sister Chen stop you. Why did you go? We wanted the elderly to feel at ease. We went, and the old lady felt at ease." If we don’t go, the old lady will feel at ease, so we won’t go. This is a matter that can be easily solved, so why just hesitate?” Everyone was a little uncertain at first, but after Jing Daozhi said this, he deeply felt that If you don't go, it's right, so you don't go.

This is the second time for Runzhi and Minzhi to go abroad, so they don't receive much entertainment from others.Only Yanxi was overjoyed when she thought that she really went abroad today.Thinking of going abroad because I had nothing to support myself, I felt a lot of emotion.In himself, he didn't know whether it was sadness or joy.But his group of male and female friends, knowing the news, couldn't help but treat him to a meal.It has been a month since Bai Lianhua and Bai Yuhua went there. The biggest reason is that she wants to go out. Erhua already knows a little bit about it. She pretends to be confused and desperately asks him for money to buy things.Yanxi also understood a little bit in her heart, at first she excused herself and deliberately postponed the date, but later she felt that the delay could not be done, so she said she was not feeling well and refused to see them.They called, but they didn't answer.Erhua knew in her heart that in front of Yanxi's friends, she only said that Jin Qiye was really hard to serve, and that he would turn his face if he said it, which was really chilling.We sisters, is there anything we can't live with him?Friends who don't know their affairs?They all laughed it off.Regarding this matter, Yanxi felt that it was just a waste of unjust money, so she didn't take it too seriously.The next morning, Liu Baoshan specially invited Yanxi to have morning tea in the park and had something to talk about.Yanxi thought it was special, so she came.On the way to the tea house, I saw Liu Baoshan sitting there with two women, eating melon seeds.Yanxi looked at those two people as if they were Erhua.If you really go up and talk, what have you been doing for half a month?Now that Liu Baoshan was treating guests, it was just a sign of his farewell party. He was going abroad, so he didn't give any information to Erhua beforehand, so he didn't treat him as a friend.Thinking about it this way, should I go forward or not?I hesitated a little.However, Liu Baoshan's sharp eyes saw Yanxi from a distance, stood up at the teahouse, and made two moves to Yanxi with his hands.It was impossible for Yanxi to go numb, so she had to take off the straw hat on her head and waved it in the air as a salute to him, walking forward to meet him.Bai Lianhua then stood up, took a large silk handkerchief, held it up and shook it from side to side.When Yanxi walked to the teahouse, she first smiled and called Seventh Master, with a smile all over her face, as if she didn't know that Yanxi was leaving.Bai Yuhua was not the same, she just sat there without moving.With a glass of lemonade in hand, just drink it there.It wasn't until Yanxi opened the chair and sat down that she raised her head, smiled at him and said, "Short sight, Seventh Master!" After speaking, she glanced at him and smiled at him.Yanxi laughed and said: "Short-sightedness is short-sightedness, but these days, I'm too busy packing up, so I don't see you all. Speaking of it, it can be forgiven." Bai Yuhua snorted and said: "Packing up, Will it take two or three weeks?" Bai Lianhua was also complaining about Yanxi in her heart, but she couldn't say anything about him.Now that Bai Yuhua is saying that wisecrack, it can just vent her anger.She didn't stop her, she still stood there, just kept waving the handkerchief in her hand.Liu Baoshan just didn't know how to look at the wind, he laughed and said: "Don't be busy! Waving handkerchiefs is something we do at the station tomorrow, why are you doing it here?" Bai Lianhua said: "Accordingly, we should go there I went to see them off at the station, but there must be a lot of people from Jin's mansion who went to see me off at the station, won't they kick me out of the station?" Yanxi laughed and said, "It's serious!" Erhua laughed.Yanxi was not very happy with Liu Baoshan, she thought to herself, you know that I have cut off contact with them, why did you invite her together so early in the morning to disappoint me?So he didn't say anything, just smiled.The waiter knew that everyone was here, so he handed over the menu for morning tea.When Yanxi took it to look at it, it was chicken soup, steak, assorted box, fried pudding, and coffee.Shaking his head, he said, "I don't want to eat anything in the morning, just have butter tea with me." Liu Baoshan smiled and said, "You have to eat a dish, or..." Yanxi frowned and said, "Don't you You don't know my temper?" Liu Baoshan wanted to play around, so he didn't dare to force it.He and Erhua honestly ate a full share of morning tea each.Yanxi finished a small cup of butter tea, said something happened, got up and left.Erhua said goodbye, and there will be no gift tomorrow.Yanxi said politely to others, but kept walking, and had already gone a long way.

Unexpectedly, just after escaping from this difficulty, a modern girl came to meet him at the corner of the corridor.Looking closer, it was none other than Bai Xiuzhu.What a coincidence, why did she also come to the park in the morning?There are short fences on both sides of the corridor, of course it is inconvenient to step into the short fence to avoid her, so I just nodded to her and said, "Morning!" Xiuzhu said, "Does Qi Ye still have time to go to the park?" Yanxi replied casually: " It was Liu Erye who called me early in the morning, so I didn't stay long, I was leaving." Xiuzhu said: "I heard that you left early, so I didn't call you. There are probably a few more days left. Are you leaving today?" Yanxi paused, and said with a smile, "Yes, there are still a few days." Xiuzhu said, "It's weird, why did Second Master Liu call me? I'm going to check it out." She said Bi, bent down, bowed and left.Yanxi stared at her back, stayed there for a long time, nodded and sighed, and then slowly went out of the garden to go home.Since I had packed all my things, I felt that I had nothing to do at leisure, so I had to go to Min Zhi's room and sit down.Minzhi and Runzhi also had nothing to do, playing table tennis on an empty table in the room.Yanxi said: "Is this what you do early in the morning?" Minzhi smiled and said: "Everything is put away, there is no book to read, and there is no one at home, so it's boring." Yanxi smiled and took Runzhi's hand. I want a racket too.Runzhi didn't fight for it, so he stepped aside.But Minzhi refused to come, so he went for a walk in the back garden.Yanxi had nothing to do, so she also followed them.It's been a day of muddling around like this.In the evening, all the male and female brothers who moved out came back to say goodbye, and they began to disperse in the middle of the night.Early the next morning, Ah Nan packed up the personal belongings of the three of them before leaving.At noon, it was Pengzhen and his wife, who had a farewell party in the cafeteria of the West Railway Station, accompanied by the whole family.All dozens of pieces of luggage were sent to the station by Li Sheng and Jin Rong, and the luggage tickets were put on first.

After eleven o'clock, Minzhi, Runzhi, and Yanxi took a car to the places of relatives and friends. After saying goodbye, they went directly to the canteen of the West Station.Originally, these were all family members, and it was common for them to eat together.But everyone has an indescribable feeling in their hearts, which feels unusual.Yufen smiled and said: "I'm not short of people, please sit down, you must be on the train, the hearts of the three of you can be at ease." Pengzhen and his wife took the chairmanship, and everyone sat down in no order.Yufen said to the waiter: "Bring two bottles of champagne." Minzhi said: "Why bother?" Yufen smiled and said: "No! There are some reasons for this. The two younger sisters will probably get married in a foreign country. I can't congratulate you personally, so I just congratulate you first. Of course, the seventh child will go to study, it is already congratulatory, and maybe get married in a foreign country..." When she said this, she felt that she had slipped out a word, which was very unpleasant Yes, I had no choice but to raise my voice and tear things apart.Smiling and waving to the waiter, "Come, come, let's open the champagne." The waiter then took two bottles of wine and poured them to the full table.After pouring, Yufen took a glass of wine, stood up and said with a smile: "Drink it, congratulations to you three, and look good." Everyone stood up after hearing this, and naturally they all drank a little casually.Only Yanxi was different, she held the glass upside down, and drank a glass of champagne in one gulp.Yufen laughed and said, "Do you still drink, Old Seven?" Yanxi stretched out the cup to the side, nodded to the waiter and said, "Come on!" The waiter smiled and poured the champagne into the glass again, Yanxi took it up and drank it down.And he coughed, showing that he drank very happily.When Yufen was about to ask the waiter to pour wine again, Peng Zhen looked at her and shook his head slightly.Yufen understood, and said with a smile: "Why did Lao Qi increase the amount today? Champagne is very expensive, I can't invite guests, I won't let you anymore, just bring you soda." Yanxi shook her head and said: "No! The three cups are the same, at least one more." Yufen didn't answer his words, but first used her eyes to see the color of the person at the same table.Minzhi knew the intention of this very well, so he said to Yanxi: "You probably plan to get drunk and lie down in the car. When we go out, we all hope that you will take care of us. This state will make us Go and take care of you." Yanxi smiled and said, "Champagne is like sweet water, what do you want? Drinking two more glasses is just to whet your appetite and has nothing to do with your mind." Mei Li leaned against Yanxi who was sitting, holding a glass of wine in her hand He poured a glass of champagne that was 80% full, put it to his lips, sipped it, and then smiled at Yanxi and said, "Drink, Brother Seven, I will accompany you to have a glass." Yanxi walked off the table by herself, and picked up the champagne from the table next to her. He just poured the bottle into the wine glass, stood there, raised the glass and smiled at Meili, without saying anything, picked up the glass and drank it.Mei Li only drank half a glass, shook her head and put it down.Yufen smiled and said, "That's enough. Can you stop?" Yanxi put down her glass and said, "Okay! I'm going to drink it on the train. I won't drink it anymore." Everyone talked and laughed, and ate The matter of drinking is revealed.

When it was time to serve coffee, Yanxi stood up first, and said with a smile, "We can go to the East Station to have a look." Then, she asked the waiter for a hand towel, and went out of the cafeteria first.Mei Li followed behind and said with a smile, "Seventh brother! Let's go together, we've only been lingering for an hour or two." Walking to the archery tower of Zhengyangmen, Yanxi looked at the archery tower, and then looked at the archery tower. He nodded to the stone lion and said: "Friend, we will see you again." After finishing speaking, he waved his hand.Meili helped him with one hand and said, "Are you really a little drunk?" Yanxi ignored her words, looked at the pedestrians and horses on Qianmen Street, and then raised her head sighed.Meili thought he was really drunk, so she took his arm and dragged him towards the east station.At the luggage office at the station, both Jin Rong and Li Sheng had finished taking care of their luggage.Seeing Yanxi walking in, he greeted him and said, "Qi Ye is here. It's early, and there is still an hour to drive." Yanxi said, "I'll take a look first." So Jin Rong led the way and drove him away. Brother and sister led to the first-class train.The three of Min Zhi asked for two private rooms in total, and the two rooms were connected.The two got into the car, Yanxi sighed first.Meili said: "A man is a man, he lives all over the world, why are you always so unhappy when you go out today?" Yanxi sat and looked at her and said, "Sister, look, we are in such a mess, I can't live happily ever after." I have no choice but to go abroad. Is there any joy in this? You have to know that I am going abroad this time, and my future is not sure at all. Whether I can go back to Beijing, of course I can’t say, even if I can go back to Beijing, it may not be the first class. How about a car? So when I leave Beijing today, I am going to change my environment greatly. Thinking of such an intimate and familiar Beijing, can I not sigh a few times?" Hearing what he said, Mei Li couldn't help feeling a deep feeling in her heart. Immediately, his eyes turned red, he pressed his hands on his knees, sat on the soft chair, and just lowered his head.When Yanxi arrived at this time, she didn't have anything to say. She dug out a tube of cigarettes in the basket and slowly found a match, lit the cigarette slowly and smoked.Turning his head to see the men and women on the platform outside the car, he just lost his mind.I don't know how many times, when I looked back, I saw two tear stains on Meili's face.She squeezed a handkerchief in her hand and kept wiping her cheeks.Yanxi said: "You have a child's temper again. Just now you taught me that you want to make your home in the world. Why did you start crying after only a while? Isn't this a joke?" He didn't say anything. After saying that, Meili simply whimpered and burst into tears.Yanxi said in a low voice: "Don't play childish temper. There are many people seeing off guests. It will be seen after a while. Look how embarrassing it is." Meili tried her best to hold back her crying, and kept crying Wiping his eyes, he sat on the side silently.

Yanxi looked out, and saw Liu Baoshan and Kong Xueni, a group of acquaintances, totaling twenty or thirty people standing on the platform in a disorderly manner.Yanxi lowered the glass panel on the window and stuck out her head to greet everyone.This group of people, I don't know who is the right person to talk to?It's just that he nodded to anyone who came close and said a few words.Then Minzhi and Run got into the car, and the female relatives who saw off the guests also came one after another, and a scent of powder was immediately added to the crowd.Some of the female relatives, who were closer, came to the car to talk.At this time, apart from the two private rooms already crowded with people, even the small aisle outside the private room was also crowded with many people.People who come and go feel extremely inconvenient.Minzhi came out of the private room and nodded to everyone: "Everyone, please go ahead, it's very uncomfortable in the car because it's so crowded." Everyone got on the car to send off foreign tourists, but when they got on the car, they couldn't find them. It is also very boring to say goodbye to distant guests, but to see them off and talk to each other.Since it was Minzhi who asked everyone to get out of the car, some people took the opportunity to get out of the car.Only his own people in Jin's mansion were still sitting in the car.Later, the people in Jin's house also got off the car one after another because the hour was up.Mei Li was sitting in Yanxi's private room and never left.Yanxi said: "It's almost time, you should get off the train, or you will take the train to Tianjin." Meili stood up, looked at her watch and said, "There are still ten minutes, I'll take another Let's go." Yanxi was reluctant to leave not only her sister, but also everyone in the train station.Mei Li looked out of the car for a long time and was stunned.Minzhi came over and held her hand and said with a smile: "Good sister, get out of the car, do you really want us to go to Tianjin? It won't be long after this farewell, maybe we will go back to Beijing in two or three years. Here we come, maybe two or three years, we will meet in Europe." Mei Li said: "How can we meet in Europe?" Min Zhi smiled and said: "It's a good thing for you to ask, do foreign countries allow us to go? Were you not allowed to go?" At this point, there was a bang, and there was a commotion in the car, and the people who saw the guests got out of the car.Minzhi also urged Meili, "Get out of the car, get out of the car." Then he took her arm and helped her out of the private room.Mei Li was also afraid of being taken away by the train, so she hurriedly walked out of the train.When I got to the platform, I saw the people seeing off the passengers raised their hats and waved them in the air.The people in the car couldn't say anything more, they just smiled and nodded to the person seeing off the guests.In the busy schedule, the whistle was whistling, and the train thumped.The wheels rolled to the east, and the car was already driving away.The people in the car window moved slowly away. Minzhi and Runzhi both took a long handkerchief, stretched it out from the window, and waved it in the wind.But as the figures got farther away, the car went faster, and many people stretched out their hands from the windows to wave their hats and handkerchiefs, but they could no longer recognize the hands of Minzhi and Runzhi.Meili also waved her handkerchief, and followed the train for a few steps, then stopped suddenly, staring blankly at the shadow behind the train.Among them, only Yanxi's method is the most noticeable. He used a small paper strip of several tens of feet to roll it into a small paper cake. He had already pulled out a paper end from the heart of the paper cake and handed it to the car. On the way, he was holding paper cakes in the car window.As the train started, the note twitched and stretched quite long.However, the paper note, which was several tens of feet long, was finally not enough for the train to hold for a minute. When Mei Li looked at it in a daze, Dao Zhi still held the end of the long paper note on the ground.A note can't hold the train, but the train can carry Jin Yanxi, who is looking out of the window, out of the east gate.On the train, Yanxi first couldn't see his family, and then he couldn't see the city walls of Beijing. His relationship with Beijing stopped for a while.

Yanxi left the east side gate, and the people sent here also left the east station one after another.Meili lived with Daozhi, but she didn't get into Daozhi's car at this time.My family owns a big car, Feng Ju is still sitting in it today, so Mei Li and Pei Fang go up together.Daozhi opened the door of the car and shouted.Meili said: "Tomorrow I will take this car to Xishan, and I won't go to your place today." So she followed Fengju and his wife all the way back to Wuyi Lane.After arriving home, there was no sound at the gate.The door was ajar, got out of the car and walked straight in, but no one asked.Under the door of the building, where the second concierge used to be, there is an old rattan chair, and an old concierge is dozing there.He stood up abruptly when people came to him. Feng Ju used to be very strict about family rules, but now he ignored him.Walking in, there are many courtyards, all of which are locked upside down.In Fengju's yard, although the door is open, everything in the house has been moved to one place, and the middle room is even more empty, and there is no one there.Pei Fang then repeatedly called Nurse Mama and Mama Jiang twice, and someone from outside the corridor came out in agreement. It wasn't Mama Jiang and Mama Jiang, but Jin Rong and his sister, Second Sister Chen.Peifang asked, "Where did Mama Jiang go?" Second Sister Chen said with a smile: "The rags and pieces of paper left in these empty rooms, clean them up, there are a lot of good things in them, maybe you can find them in them." Here are the banknotes. Everyone is not at home, why don't they pick up some bargains?" Pei Fang said, "It's just a wet nurse, she hasn't been here for many days, Mama Jiang has seen the world, why did she make such a fuss?" Second Sister Chen smiled and said, "Who doesn't hire workers here? It's not just Sister Jiang's business." As she spoke, Mother Jiang came with a big burden, and when she saw Peifang came back, she smiled and stepped back.Meili saw this situation, and felt that the old lady who had been using these years was still unavoidable for the sake of money, regardless of the rules and sympathy. The ugliness are exposed.She thought so, but she didn't believe that there would really be money to pick up in the empty room, so she walked a few rooms by herself, stretching her head to look inside.One room is fine, but the room is more surrounded by another room, which is empty and much wider.One person was coughing, and there seemed to be an echo in the room. In addition, the latticed double doors in the room were shaken and shaken, as if something was wrong in the empty room. He shrank his feet in fright and went back immediately.When she came to see the vacant house, she walked all the way, unconsciously walking a few yards.Walking back at this time, I passed the old courtyard where Yanxi lived, and there was a scene of fire.It was getting late, and the setting sun shone golden on the bare walls, making the yard very desolate.There were a few thin bamboos that hadn't been burned to death, blown by the wind, among the rubble, nodding to Meili, as if they were several people.Meili didn't feel the creeps on her body, she turned around and ran, walked past the moon gate, forgot to cross the threshold, and fell with a big splash.Fortunately, no one saw it, so he stood up and patted the black ash on his legs, and then walked towards Peifang's yard.When I got to the house, I still couldn't help panting.Feng Ju saw her face turning blue and white, and asked why?Mei Li said that she was scared when she saw the empty house.Feng Ju said that she was too childish.Peifang also laughed.Meili was a little angry, so she didn't say anything to them.When it was time for dinner, she only scooped up more than half a bowl of rice with boiling water, and said she was a little dizzy, so she went to bed.

When I got up early the next morning, the sky was still so groggy, and it was yellow sand again.When Meili got up, Second Sister Chen was wandering in the yard, just looking up at the sky.Seeing Mei Li coming, she said: "Miss Ba, the weather is very bad, you don't want to go out of the city today." Mei Li said, "No, I'm leaving right away. Sleeping here last night is like staying in a temple. It’s the same as in the house, there’s no sound at all, looking out the window, it’s dark.” Second Sister Chen said: “Today, the young lady is moving, and she doesn’t live here at night.” Mei Li said: “If you don’t live here at night, it’s daytime. I'm also a little scared. Miss Wu, Miss Six and Master Qi are gone, I'm so sad. Go to the mountains for a day or two and come back, you won't feel it anymore, you can find a coachman to drive." Feng Ju was packing things in the house , then replied: "Yes, I have the car. The driver borrowed it for a few days. He left last night. If you want to go out of the city, you have to ask Jin Rong to drive you there." Which, Second Sister Chen is going to urge Jin Rong to drive.Jin Rongzheng also wanted to see Mrs. Jin so that he could decide what to do, so he happily agreed to drive.As soon as Meili wanted to leave, she was in a hurry more than anyone else, and she was busy washing up, so she bid farewell to Fengju.Peifang walked all the way to the gate, and smiled at her: "You must go in such a yellow sandy day. When you see the old lady, don't say that we don't want to keep you. Tell the old lady, we will leave today." Go live in the new house, this place is completely vacant." Mei Li agreed to get in the car and waited for a long time, but she didn't see Second Sister Chen coming out, Mei Li was so anxious that she just jumped.Jiang Ma ran out and reported: "Miss, let's leave in the afternoon. Second Sister Chen suddenly became dizzy and couldn't get in the car." Mei Li said: "You can't get in the car, she just doesn't go, why do you want me to wait?" While talking, he tapped the glass panel in front of the seat with his hand, and said to Jin Rong, "Go quickly." Jin Rong thought, fortunately, it was his own car, and it didn't matter if he ran again in the afternoon, so he drove the car He ran out of the city.

After leaving the city, although the wind was not strong, the yellow sand fell extremely heavily, and it was a bit blurry a few feet away.Although Jin Rong drove the car extremely slowly, he even injured a wild dog.He had to honk the horn all the way and move forward slowly, not much faster than people walking.Mei Li hurriedly stomped her feet and said, "When will we arrive? I'm sweating all over." Jin Rong simply stopped driving, turned on the brakes, turned around, wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief, and said, "My miss , My heart is broken. Now I can’t even see anything beyond the five-zhang road, let alone be afraid of bumping into people, bumping into a tree, or driving into a ditch, what should I do? I think it’s slow Walk slowly, slower than others. When you arrive at Longevity Hill, you can send your car to the depot and change to a foreign car, then you will feel much more at ease." Meili puffed her mouth, and was so angry that she didn't make a sound.Meili was sitting in the car, wishing she could jump out.After thinking for a long time, he said: "It's better to go back." Jin Rong said: "There are many ways to go back, and I'm also afraid of something going wrong." Meili had nothing to say, she just looked out of the car.After a while, some donkeys passed by the cart.The people on the donkey looked into the car, and one of them was Xie Yushu.The two met each other, then nodded.Xie Yushu looked at the car, thinking there was something wrong, jumped off the donkey, and asked Jin Rong, "Is the car broken? Let me find some people to pull it with you." Jin Rong and him were very close I am familiar with it, and said: "The car is not broken, but I dare not drive it. The yellow sand is heavy, and I am afraid of hitting someone. When I arrive at Longevity Mountain, I will store the car in the car factory, and I can hire a foreign car to take our lady to Xishan. It's gone." Xie Yushu walked to the car door and said to Mei Li: "Miss Ba, otherwise, please ride my donkey, I will take you to the gate of the Summer Palace first, and wait for your housekeeper, so you don't have to worry in the car." Meili opened the car door, stood by the car, and said with a smile: "I let Mr. Xie go on a donkey, I'm also sorry!" Xie Yushu said: "It doesn't matter." The other way of explaining it is to stand up to Mei Li.The donkeys who were walking with him had already gone far away. The donkey driver stood behind the donkeys and looked at the two of them. He just stayed there, but he couldn't say anything.Just as he was hesitating, he found a few rickshaws parked beside the Yuelao Temple by the roadside, so he interrupted: "There are empty carts over there, sir, you'd better ride my donkey and let the lady take the cart, you Do you like it?" Xie Yushu looked at where his finger was, and said with a smile: "That's great, go and call the car over." Mei Li smiled, but she didn't refuse.The donkey driver called the car over, but the driver saw that the lady in the car wanted to take the car, and refused to say the price, just let Mei Li get on the car, saying that he would wait and see.梅丽也就只好上车,笑起来道:“现在算是人力车上前,要等汽车了。金荣,我在哪里等着你呢?”金荣听说,倒愣住了,颐和园外面,虽然有一条小街,开了几家茶饭铺,可是那种地方,如何可以让小姐进去?想了许久,才笑道:“除非是咱们倒退回海淀去,那里可以找出干净点的地方坐着,我把车子安排好了,再坐洋车重来,同到西山去。”梅丽道:“怎么着?来来去去,我们是要在大路上游春吗?”谢玉树道:“我倒有个法子,过去不远,就是敝校,八小姐可以先在敝校接待室等着。贵管家把汽车开到那里,我可以找个地方安顿着。我听说两位伯母都在西山,我今天没事,然后我可以送八小姐去,顺便和伯母请安。”梅丽笑道:“那可不敢当。”金荣道:“就是这样办罢,八小姐可以到谢先生学校里先等一等。”说着话时,谢玉树又骑上了驴背,笑向梅丽道:“趁这个机会,到敝校参观参观去,不也很有意思吗?”梅丽心里可就想着,这有什么意思?不过面子上,倒不十分拒绝。只好说:“好,我瞧瞧去罢。”人力车夫早是不肯将买卖放过,扶起车把,就拉走了。谢玉树一提缰绳,驴子由车后也追了上去,紧紧贴着,向前走来。一车一驴,慢慢地在柳树林下,走到黄沙丛里去,渐渐有些模糊了。金荣看到,却想起一件心事,那年春天,七爷骑马游春,不就是在这地方遇着七少奶奶的吗?这个样子,很有些相象,而且他二人,似乎也很有爱情,不过金家不是当年了,他俩将来又要演出一些什么悲欢离合,可不得而知呢。世事就是这样,一场戏紧跟了一场戏来,哪里一口气看得完呢?正是:西郊芳草年年绿,多少游人似去年?
