After the Republic of China

The cold moonlight collided with the swaying wind chimes, giving off a different kind of light.

It’s a pity that no one can see such a scene.

Shao Yunshi looked at the unique scenery outside the window and felt a little calmer.

However, before she finished her slow words, Ximei said anxiously: "What, Miss, you are not going to tell Madam about Master Luo, are you?"

Shao Yunshi laughed at her surprise, "What are you worried about? I didn't plan to say it, but I did say it. So what can it do? Or do you dislike Brother Luo from the bottom of your heart?"

Ximei was stunned when she was asked again and again, and quickly clarified: "No, no, I just think that the Lu family is so rich, I'm afraid they will stop it, right?"

In fact, Ximei couldn't tell what she was thinking. She did have some disdain for Luo Congbai, but it didn't stop her from thinking that Luo Congbai was very capable.

In these troubled times, although wealth is important, power is also important.Besides, Brother Luo is a very nice person.

Shao Yunshi glanced at the troubled Ximei in a funny way and sighed: "You're right, I was indeed reckless today. However, I don't have much time. If I don't resolve this matter early, I'm afraid something will happen."

Yes, time waits for no one.Ximei shuddered when she thought of how the young lady was not at home today and she was called by Mrs. Lu.

The old lady, who usually seemed gentle, actually had such sharp eyes. Fortunately, she really treated the young lady well and told the truth, so the old lady became gentle. Otherwise, she really didn't dare to think about the consequences.

Shao Yunshi noticed Ximei's strange behavior and asked curiously: "I'm not at home. Is there anything I don't know about?"

Ximei didn't want to tell the young lady about this, but when the young lady asked, she couldn't lie, so she said honestly: "Mrs. Lu asked me about the young lady's situation."

so?Shao Yunshi glanced at the wilted Ximei in confusion, "Have you been reprimanded?"

"No, Mrs. Lu praised me and rewarded me." Ximei said hurriedly.

"Then what are you afraid of?" Shao Yunshi said with one glance.

Ximei confessed honestly, "I'm afraid of Mrs. Lu. Really, miss, Mrs. Lu is so powerful. I don't dare to tell a lie or nonsense in front of her."

Shao Yunshi had long expected that her grandmother or mother would look for Ximei alone and question her, but she didn't expect that her grandmother would frighten Ximei so much that she couldn't help but laugh.

When Ximei saw that the young lady was smiling, she blushed and muttered, "Everyone is scared, but the young lady is still smiling."

This made Shao Yunshi laugh even more.

However, this smile calmed her down.

Ximei also found that the young lady's expression had improved a lot, but she no longer cared about her jokes.

After the quarrel between the master and the servant was over, they started talking seriously.

"Miss, does Madam want to kiss you?" Ximei asked carefully.

Shao Yunshi twitched her lips, "Yes, I have this plan."

Ximei took a few deep breaths and said, "Miss, are you rejecting Madam's proposal?"

"It's not as urgent as you think. Mother just mentioned it. It was me who took the initiative to say Brother Luo. Alas..." Shao Yunshi calmed down and thought about it. She was not sure whether she was a little too hasty in taking this step.
"Miss, is something wrong?" The young lady sighed, and Ximei became worried.

Shao Yunshi shook her head, "No, I'm just afraid that I'll be impatient."

After hearing this, Ximei also shook her head, "Miss, you have forgotten that you are seventeen this year. If you weren't in school, you would have already made a marriage decision."

Ximei's natural words made Shao Yunshi's heart shrink.

In fact, even in school, some girls her age are engaged.For example, her classmates in middle school.After a brief silence, Shao Yunshi smiled and said: "Yes, Brother Luo's matter must be resolved no matter what, and the trip to Qingdao is an opportunity."

Ximei thought about the elderly people in Yangzhou and Suzhou, and felt that it might be easier to communicate with the Lu family in Qingdao.After all, compared to the three families, the Lu family is more down-to-earth, which is what the young lady said in the past.

Thinking of this, Ximei took a breath to dispel the fright Mrs. Lu brought to her, and affirmed: "It is true. If this matter is communicated well in Qingdao, it will be easy to discuss elsewhere."

Shao Yunshi glanced at Ximei who was summarizing in a funny way, and her mood became brighter.

Looking at the shining moonlight, Shao Yunshi unexpectedly thought of someone far away now. Does he know his situation?Do you know that you are planning for the future of the two of you?

Shao Yunshi is not entangled in these unsolvable problems. Since she identified someone in the first place, she will not regret or be afraid of difficulties.

Taking a deep breath, she told Ximei to rest.

Ximei looked at the clock and saw that it was indeed getting late. Although she still had something to say, she went to rest obediently.

And the person they mentioned had no time to think about other things at this time and was fighting in various places.

In the days that followed, Shao Yunshi felt relieved after being asked a difficult question.Only Ximei was still worried, waiting for the Lu family's reaction.

Naturally, the Lu family will not respond quickly. Finding out the news is definitely not a matter of one or two days.

However, due to the arrival of Gu Gu, the Lu family's mood couldn't be better.

Take Xiao Wu's words, he is happier and more fun these days than during the Chinese New Year.

After settling in the Lu family, Shao Yunshi's life was very comfortable. She went shopping with Lu every day, talked, and even privately taught her how women today should be good wives.

Mrs. Lu is not an idiot, nor is she a stupid woman. She does not understand her daughter's painstaking efforts. While she is happy, she is also touched by her daughter's thoughtfulness.

Therefore, with Shao Yunshi's intention and Lu's cooperation, the relationship between mother and daughter became closer and closer day by day, just like a pair of sisters.

Shao Yunshi was grateful for Lu's good deeds, so she often made some homemade rouge and gouache to help Lu, making Lu look as gorgeous as a bride. Lu Liushun, who liked her, hugged his daughter-in-law happily every day.

On days like this, even the somewhat reserved Ximei gradually relaxed, and she became familiar with the people of the Lu family, as if they had known each other for a long time.

One day, when the sun was high, a distant relative came to the Lu family.

Mrs. Lu and Mr. Lu and his wife were entertaining guests in the hall.

In the hall, the electric fan creaked loudly, and there was some laughter and chatter.

"My aunt looks much better." The visitor is Mai Can, the youngest son of Mr. Lu's cousin's daughter.

Mrs. Lu liked this nephew very much and said with a smile: "Why didn't the boss come with you? How are your mother and the others?"

Mai Can is dressed like a rich man, behaves like a gentleman, and his words are even more humorous.

I saw him smiling and saying to Mrs. Lu: "My mother and the others are quite nice. My eldest brother Qianer wanted to take my parents to the city. He talked too much, but my father was too verbose and even put up a cane to beat them."

Thinking of her cousin-in-law's temper and looking at Mai Can's gloating expression, Mrs. Lu smiled and pointed at Mai Can and shouted, "Bad boy."

Mai Can made Mrs. Lu laugh, and hurriedly begged for mercy: "Auntie, please don't tell me, otherwise my brother will definitely not be able to spare me."

"Go and tell the truth, you are becoming more eloquent now." Mrs. Lu said with a smile. (End of chapter)
