After the Republic of China

Chapter 18 Surveillance
The comrade-in-arms Paoze can trust his life and death, not to mention a few words, what else can be said or not said.

Naturally, Gan Tang and Luo Congbai have no polite relationship.

He thought that what he wanted to talk about was not about the task, and he had nothing to say, so he turned to Luo Congbai and said bluntly, "Didn't you let me take care of the Shao family?"

"That's right, is there something wrong with the Shao family?" Luo Congbai immediately sat up straight.

Seeing how serious he was, Gan Tang hurriedly said, "Don't be nervous, it's not a big deal."

"What's the matter, tell me quickly." Luo Congbai was anxious.

Gan Tang hurriedly said: "That's right, I found that there are more than one group of people staring at the Shao family."

"More than one group of people?" Luo Congbai frowned, "Have you figured out where they came from?"

"Well, there were local ones a few years ago, and this year another group, or two groups came from the north." Gan Tang said uncertainly.

In this way, Luo Congbai was a little worried, and solemnly entrusted him: "Ah Tang, I don't have time to go to Shao's house these days, so I have to ask you to take care of him for a few more days."

"Don't worry about that, I have never withdrawn my troops." Gan Tang waved his hand.

"Then please. Also, can you help me find out who came from the north." Luo Congbai didn't have time, so he had to ask his friends.

Gan Tang smiled, "It's up to you to say, I've already started working on it, but these people are very ghostly, and it's a bit difficult to find out."

Luo Congbai cupped his hands, "Thank you."

Seeing him like this, Gan Tang joked, "You're too concerned about the Shao family's affairs, it can't be..."

"Stop, stop." Luo Congbai didn't want to talk about this topic, so he quickly stopped.

Gan Tang is also a straightforward man, so he immediately shut up.

Luo Congbai had a lot of things to do, and after chatting for a while, the two broke up.

Looking at his friend's back, Gan Tang sighed deeply, in their line of work, they can't even reveal their liking for girls.

Luo Congbai was busy arranging for the wounded, Shao Yunshi was worried because of his accident, and arranged for Xiaodong to go out every day to find out the news.

On this day, Xiaodong went out to look for someone again, but she didn't get any useful information, so she walked back dejectedly.

No, after entering the house, she was walking, and found that there was a lot of movement in the main courtyard, so she turned around while hiding her figure.

This visit did not make her mad at all.

No longer caring about hiding her figure, she rushed to Huaiyuan in one go.

She was in such a hurry that she just collided with Ximei who was holding the quilt.

Fortunately, she still knows how to hold back a little bit of strength, otherwise, Ximei's quilt would be in vain.

"What are you doing in such a hurry, are you going out to be a thief?" Xi Mei complained while hugging the quilt, before she could catch her breath.

Xiaodong didn't have the time to grind his teeth with her, "Where's Senior Sister? You haven't woken up from your nap yet?"

Xi Mei looked up at the sun, and said with a sneer, "It's so late, and I'm still taking a nap."

Xiaodong ignored her and ran directly to Xiao Qi's room.

Seeing her like this, Ximei knew that something must have happened to this girl.

She was in a hurry, and she didn't care about going back to the bedroom to put the quilt, and chased people into the small seating room.

Shao Yunshi was looking at the account book and saw them barging in one after the other, especially Ximei was still hugging the quilt.

"What's the matter, are you guys arguing again?" She put down the account book and said with a smile.

Xiaodong panted and shook her head, "No noise. Senior sister, before I came back, I turned around the main courtyard. Guess what I saw?"

"See what?" Xi Mei asked directly.

Xiaodong ignored Ximei, looked at her senior sister, and waited for something to say.

Shao Yunshi gave her a hand helplessly, and thought for a while, "You can't be, have you seen Mrs. Bai move into the main house?"

Shao's house is big.

Ever since Mr. Shao married his main wife, the old lady moved to the Xifutang near the front yard, leaving the main house in the back yard to his son and daughter-in-law.

The Bai family can't be regarded as a regular wife.

The surname of the old lady of the Shao family is Niu, a common Manchu surname, and she has many rules and etiquette.

As for Mrs. Bai, the old lady doesn't like her very much.Therefore, when she returned to Yangcheng, she could only live in a side room in the main courtyard.

Even though, later, Shao Yunshi's mother-in-law Lu Shi and Li returned to her natal family, Bai Shi couldn't move into the main house.

This matter is like a taboo in the Shao family, and no one dares to mention it.

When Xiaodong mentioned it at this time, Ximei covered her mouth in shock.

Seeing that her senior sister guessed right, Xiaodong picked a big brother for her.

Shao Yunshi said angrily, "Is this hard to guess?"

Seeing what the young lady said, Ximei exclaimed, "What! Can this be true?"

Xiaodong nodded with a sullen face.

Xiaodong acquiesced to the news that Mrs. Bai had moved into the main room of the main courtyard, and the atmosphere in Xiao Qi's room dropped to freezing point.

When Ximei got the definite news, her blood surged and she couldn't even breathe well.

Unlike Ximei's gaffe, Shao Yunshi was much calmer.

Seeing that, she sneered and said, "Bai Shi finally got what he wanted."

Seeing her senior sister showing displeasure, Xiaodong regretted telling the news too early, it didn't have to make everyone unhappy all afternoon.

Xi Mei didn't think much, and directly said angrily: "No wonder, when I greeted you this morning, the young lady just followed the old practice and didn't have a good word to say to Mrs. Bai, so the old lady Shao turned her face off."

Shao Yunshi was also a little unhappy when she thought about what happened in the morning.

Xi Mei glanced at the young lady, and said: "Old lady Shao deliberately only talks to the second young lady, if you think about it, you should be here."

Ximei is still brooding over this matter.

In a well-behaved big family, the status of Shao Yunshi who was born as a descendant is more than a little bit higher than the younger sister who was born as a concubine.

It is really unreasonable for Mrs. Shao to promote the concubine to suppress the concubines.

So, in the morning, Mrs. Shao's indifference to Shao Yunshi was quite a slap in the face.

Shao Yunshi is noncommittal to Ximei's guess.

Xiaodong usually does not go to Xifutang to pay his respects to his senior sisters.

Then, when she heard that there was still trouble, she immediately became angry, "This is really bullying, isn't the old lady the most polite?"

Xi Mei drooped her face, "Now, Second Miss and the others will be proud."

Xiaodong rolled up his sleeves irritably, "Old Mrs. Shao has no face for Senior Sister, is it to make face for Mrs. Bai?"

Xi Mei frowned, "Why is that? Mrs. Shao probably doesn't like Bai Shi?"

"Who knows what happened to this old lady?" Xiaodong waved his hand, "By the way, Mrs. Bai dared to move into the main hall, did Mrs. Shao agree?"

"Could it be, do you think she moved it secretly?" Xi Mei opened her mouth wide, feeling faintly excited.

"Who knows?" Xiaodong rolled his eyes, "I think it's likely that Mrs. Bai doesn't have the courage, and it's probably the old lady's instruction."

Shao Yunshi waved her hands indifferently, and said, "That's not the case."

Seeing the senior sister's appearance, Xiaodong felt a little unsteady, and hurriedly asked: "What does the senior sister think about this?"

"Miss, you already expected that Mrs. Bai would steal into the main house?" Ximei still remembered the miss's guess right just now.

How could Shao Yunshi expect Bai's housing problem, that's all she said just now, after all, Bai's thoughts have been like a day for many years.
