After the Republic of China

Chapter 1054: First Touch
The aroma of tea in the large study is refreshing.

Unfortunately, the room was filled with worries, leaving no place for the fragrance of tea to stay.

Shao Lanxiang looked at her father's gloomy expression, feeling sad, and suggested, "Then Dad, don't go back to Peking. We have a house in Shanghai."

Old Master Shao waved his hands and said dejectedly, "I can at least take care of him in Peking. I can't let him be deceived like a fool."

Even if you look down on your son, he is still your son.

Shao Lanxiang knew that her father still had some father-son affection for her brother, and she sighed secretly.

Mr. Shao knew that his daughter had misunderstood him, so he didn't argue any more. "Okay, don't worry about your brother. As long as I'm here, I won't let him get in your way."

These words were a bit harsh, Shao Lanxiang said hurriedly: "It's not that bad, brother still has..."

What? She couldn't come up with an answer at the moment, and she ended up blushing.

Mr. Shao just looked at her quietly, as if waiting for her to finish editing.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the room was so stagnant and awkward.

Butler Zhang looked at this with a sad heart. It was really not easy for the old man.

He glanced at the father and daughter and coughed twice, "Old Master, do you want to go to the Bai family?"

As soon as he spoke, Shao Lanxiang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Old Master Shao didn't want to embarrass his daughter, so he calmed down and changed the subject, "Not only does the Bai family have to watch over it, but the eldest brother has to watch over it too. So, since it's still winter vacation, let him stay at home to cultivate his character."

"Ah?" Butler Zhang was a little embarrassed.

Shao Lanxiang mustered up her courage and advised, "Brother is a university professor after all, and he is quite knowledgeable. There will definitely be people who want to visit him for exchanges. Dad can't confine him to his home."

Butler Zhang tried to make peace, "Master, you still know your limits when it comes to foreign affairs."

Shao Mingkang is a bit pedantic in his studies, and to be honest, he has no major problems in teaching.

Mr. Shao sighed, "Do you think I'm like this because I'm angry?"

Isn't it? Shao Lanxiang didn't dare to answer.

Butler Zhang had been with the old man for many years, and suddenly understood, "The old man is taking this opportunity to arrange the eldest lady's marriage."

Shao Lanxiang also came to her senses and looked at her father with great admiration.

Mr. Shao glared at her and said, "You are still like this. You never think twice before doing anything."

Even after being taught a lesson, Shao Lanxiang was not angry, she just chuckled twice.

Mr. Shao said with a sullen face: "Our family situation is complicated. If we are not careful, disaster will come soon..."

This was a bit ominous, Shao Lanxiang hurriedly called out, "Dad"

Mr. Shao waved his hand indifferently, "I am still alive, my mind is clear, and I can still keep calm. What would you do if I became old and confused?"

Shao Lanxiang was already crying, "Dad, you are not old at all, I don't allow you to say that."

Mr. Shao is not afraid of life and death. "Everyone will have this day. Why are you in such a hurry?"

Shao Lanxiang was getting older after all, and felt a little embarrassed by what she said. She rolled her eyes and asked, "Dad, do you want my brother to pretend to be sick so that you can explain why he didn't come to the wedding?"

Old Master Shao sneered and said nothing to his daughter. He followed her words and said, "It's not just that. The main purpose is to cut off his connection with the Bai family."

"Do you think this matter is so serious?!" Butler Zhang was shocked.

Old Master Shao pinched his brows tiredly, "I guess this is not a small matter, I hope..."

Shao Lanxiang felt sorry for her father, "Don't worry, even if this matter is not a small matter, it has nothing to do with our family." Old housekeeper Zhang also advised: "With the eldest daughter in charge of this matter, there will definitely be no problem, just relax."

Now, the people of the Shao family have great confidence in Shao Yunshi's ability, not to mention that the hexagram is not bad either.

When Mr. Shao thought about it, he felt a little relieved.

Shao Lanxiang didn't want her father to worry, so she said, "I've also heard about the abilities of the Bu brothers. I think they'll be able to figure out Xiuxue's situation in just one day."

She felt that as long as the second girl was chosen, no matter how difficult or dangerous things were, it would have nothing to do with them.

Mr. Shao was not optimistic and didn't say much.

However, he recalled his second granddaughter's past behavior and said with disappointment, "This child has been raised astray."

"Maybe he just wanted to have fun and followed his uncle to play for a while." Butler Zhang advised.

Mr. Shao waved his hand, "Things are not as simple as you think."

Old Butler Zhang and Shao Lanxiang looked at each other helplessly, because they also felt that the matter was not simple. After all, the timing was too coincidental.

Shao Lanxiang was also worried. She was afraid that the second girl's departure was intentional by her mother. After all, her mother didn't like to hide her aunt, so she might have deliberately let the second girl come to Shanghai to cause trouble.

On this side, Shao Yunshi had no idea of ​​the helplessness of everyone in the study.

Because the matter was rather tricky, she went straight back to the small flower hall and called Xiaodong.

Xiaodong happened to be at home today, and was quite surprised when he was called, but he didn't hesitate.

She was originally in the pharmacy. She walked from the back building to the small flower hall in the front building, crossed the nursery, and walked straight. She arrived in a short while.

As soon as she entered the room, she was shocked to see her senior sister with a gloomy face. "What happened? Did the little aunt know about my meeting with Brother Luo?"

Shao Yunshi was not in the mood to argue today. She glanced at her and told her the whole story of the Bai family in short.

Xiaodong, who has a bad temper, couldn't stand it anymore when he heard this. He rolled up his sleeves and said, "I knew that it wouldn't be easy to have a smooth marriage."

Shao Yunshi was left speechless by her. What was going on?

Seeing her like this, Xiao Dong said anxiously, "Senior Sister, I've been worried for a long time that the people over there might be up to no good. Look, they're here now. It's a good thing that Butler Zhang said it was okay."

"Xiaodong!" Shao Yunshi saw that she was dragging Grandpa and the others into it, and hurriedly stopped her, "You're talking nonsense to show off your ability before you know what's going on."

Cuixiang and Cuilan also came and listened to the end of it, and they both tried to hold back their laughter.

Seeing that they were still in the mood to laugh, Xiaodong unhappily told them the whole story and asked, "Can you still laugh now?"

Sisters Cuixiang and Cuilan really couldn't laugh anymore, and even felt that this matter was not that simple.

Shao Yunshi glanced at them and said, "This matter is quite confidential, so I won't call Uncle Bu to inform him. Xiaodong, you go."

Xiaodong didn't hesitate when it came to important matters and immediately agreed to the task.

Seeing that she was happy, Shao Yunshi stopped saying anything to her.

Cuilan and Cuixiang hurriedly said that they could also do the job.

Shao Yunshi looked at the Cuilan sisters and said, "Well, go home and see what Luo Cheng and Brother Feihong are busy with. If they are not busy, ask them to follow Uncle Bu to investigate this matter."

Because of the upcoming wedding, Shao Lanxiang keeps an even closer eye on her niece.

Therefore, Shao Yunshi had already put aside what she was doing.

Luo Cheng and Feihong were in charge of the shop outside, while Uncle Bu and his wife were in charge of the house.

Because Shao Yunshi was getting married, no one would tell her anything, no matter big or small.
