After the Republic of China

Chapter 41 Encouraging
Studying for further studies is what everyone who loves reading yearns for, not to mention Shao Yunshi from a scholarly family.

"Okay, with what you said, my aunt didn't say these things in vain." Shao Lanxiang was really happy that her niece could figure it out, and continued to study.

Shao Yunshi was very moved by her aunt who thought of her so much, secretly thinking about what to do to repay her.

As she was thinking, Shao Lanxiang remembered the past again.

She looked at her beautiful niece, couldn't help it, and said, "Gugu, you are not young now, it's better to avoid some things, Luo..."

Just as she was talking, Xiao Cui just opened the curtain outside and came in.

With the girl here, we can only stop talking about Luo Mutou.

Shao Lanxiang looked at her niece with her head down with some regret.

Compared to Shao Lanxiang's eagerness, Shao Yunshi quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiaocui didn't understand the inside story, and didn't give Shao Lanxiang a chance to speak again, so she said directly: "Madam, Madam Zheng is here to post and invite you to the dinner party."

"Huh? Is it too late to send this post?" Shao Lanxiang's words are not bad, who invited people without notifying them a few days in advance.

Shao Yunshi also pulled away from her thoughts and stared at Xiaocui.

Xiaocui was also puzzled, and hurriedly said: "The person who came said that their wife also received a call from Director Zheng temporarily, inviting you to go."

"Madam Zheng is holding a temporary banquet, I'm afraid some important people will come." Shao Yunshi looked at her aunt and said.

Xiaocui nodded quickly, "Yes, someone told me that Nanjing is going to have a few big shots, and the dinner is considered a reception."

That's right, Shao Yunshi knew that the Zheng family didn't treat her aunt as an outsider, so she invited her on a temporary basis.

Moreover, if my aunt wants to raise funds in Yangzhou, someone must take the lead. The Zheng family has enough status and enthusiasm. If they take the lead, there will be gains.

Zheng Fengcheng is a good friend of Jiang Zhekai, and he is the head of the Yangzhou Police Department.

When Shao Lanxiang returned to Yangzhou, the first people she looked for were Zheng Fengcheng and his wife, which was also what her husband meant.

She knew that today's banquet was probably just for fundraising.

When it comes to important foreign affairs such as fundraising, Shao Lanxiang didn't dare to stay longer, so she whispered to her niece: "We'll talk about Luo Mutou's matter later, and I'll go first."

Shao Yunshi might as well call her name directly, her body froze, and she blamed: "Auntie, it's true, I'm already this old, there's no sense of restraint, you'd better go out and get busy with business."

She had already guessed that this banquet might be related to fundraising.

Looking at such a clever niece, Shao Lanxiang sighed slightly.

The matter was urgent, so she didn't say much. She nodded, suppressed her niece who was going to get up to see her off, and said, "Don't see her off, it's so cold outside, I won't come over tonight, you don't have to wait for me."

As she spoke, she already strode out.

Shao Yunshi was amused by her aunt's resolute behavior, and her aunt was even hotter than when she was a girl, probably because her uncle was a soldier.

As soon as her aunt left, she didn't have time to express her feelings. Shao Yunshi immediately put down the sewing work at hand and rubbed her chest to ease her emotions. Her hands were already sweating.

Ximei saw her lying on the bamboo couch casually throwing needles and threads by her hand, she couldn't help saying cheerfully, "Miss, stop pretending."

She was still a young lady because she was afraid that her aunt would nudge her about reading, which was the case in the past.

Shao Yunshi knew that she would definitely say that, so she took advantage of the situation and said, "Go, I'm afraid that my aunt will tell me that I always read books."

Ximei smiled as expected.

Shao Yunshi was afraid that Ximei would notice her strange appearance, so she hurriedly said: "By the way, has Leizi left? Did you say anything?"

She knew that the nanny would definitely have something to say.

Sure enough, Xi Mei hurriedly said: "Yes, Ms. Miao said that she helped Second Uncle Bu prepare the New Year's ceremony in Qingdao. There will be no difference. Let Miss feel at ease."

"Didn't I mention this before? Why did you bring it up again? The nanny has a bad memory now." Shao Yunshi sighed.

Ximei smiled, "Also, Uncle Luo from Da Luo Village wants to ask Miss for some medicine powder for trauma, and I will give you the money."

Shao Yunshi likes to tinker with pills and medicines, especially the medicines in ancient prescriptions. For this reason, in her previous life, she specially asked the hermit expert for advice.

However, the Luo family probably didn't know that she had the habit of making medicine.

Then, Shao Yunshi asked strangely: "How does Uncle Luo know that I have this? No, it's not that someone from his family has come back."

"Then who is who?" Ximei asked narrowly.

Shao Yunshi glared at Ximei, "Young poor, don't you know." After she finished speaking, she secretly became worried, frowned and said, "It seems that this person is causing trouble outside again."

Shao Yunshi's first potion in this world was used on that body.

Ximei pretended to be distressed and said: "If it is true that Master Luo is injured, should we give it? The miss is a waste of time getting those medicines. Besides, you can't ask people for money."

"Why do you ask for money? Uncle Luo is someone who has helped us a lot." Shao Yunshi cast a reproachful glance at Ximei.

Luo Congbai's father, Uncle Luo, is a man who came back from the Guandong. He is good at martial arts, warm and hospitable, and chivalrous.

It is thanks to Uncle Luo's help that Nanny Miao's family can settle down in Shao Yunshi Zhuangzi.

Of course Ximei knew the Luo family's character, so she was just joking.

Shao Yunshi didn't have the time to pay attention to Ximei's little thoughts. She thought that it might be Luo Congbai's use, but she became worried, "Ximei, where is Xiaodong?"

"I don't know. I came back early in the morning and disappeared again. I was just about to talk to Miss." Xi Mei complained, "Oh, why is this girl so wild, I can't help you at all."

"What, she disappeared early in the morning, this girl is really wild." Shao Yunshi is not afraid of Xiaodong's safety.

However, she felt dizzy when she thought about how to explain to Master Zhou when she returned to Suzhou.

Seeing the young lady frowning and rolling her eyes, Ximei knew why.

Then, she gritted her teeth and said, "Miss, don't even try to help that girl cheat, I won't help her either, if she can't turn in her embroidery work later, if she gets beaten up, she will have a long memory."

"Who cares about me being beaten?" Xiaodong, who was always elusive, suddenly appeared again.

When Ximei saw someone, she didn't worry about it. She listened to what she said, and complained directly: "You girl, you haven't seen anyone all day, how much sewing have you done? How much fabric have you recognized, and how many patterns have you drawn? Who cares about you being beaten?" , do you still need someone to worry about you?"

Ximei's words are becoming more and more sharp, it can be seen that bickering with Xiaodong is normal.

Seeing her like this, Shao Yunshi smiled. You must know that Master Zhou, who is good at needlework, is quite powerless to his daughter. Xiaodong is not sure enough, likes to move but not to be quiet, passionate about kung fu, but has a headache for needlework.

If Master Zhou checked Xiaodong's work, this dead girl Xiaodong would definitely get beaten.

Xiaodong himself was not afraid of Ximei's threats, so he made a face at Ximei, and ran directly to Shao Yunshi, asking for credit, "Senior Sister, I have made a meritorious service."

"What's the merit?" Ximei grabbed Xiaodong's clothes in disbelief, not telling her to run away.
