After the Republic of China

In the countryside, things that have no owner are, by convention, owned by the people living nearby. Others cannot possess it at will.

After hearing Luo Congbai's explanation, several people felt a little regretful. However, they didn’t want to pick lotus flowers, they just looked at them, which was fine.

Luo Congbai didn't know what the girl was thinking, so he smiled and said, "No one said anything about just taking some lotus leaves."

The boat soon arrived at the lotus pond, which looked even more spectacular up close.

Not to mention that the girls were happy to see it, but the men were also relaxed and happy to see it.

Now that you are here, there is no reason to be empty-handed.

Several people cooperated and picked a lot of lotus flowers and leaves.

Lingzhu asked curiously, "Gu Gu, why are we picking so many lotus leaves?"

"It's good to make lotus leaf tea and drink it in summer." Shao Yunshi replied without raising his head.

While talking, she also instructed Luo Congbai on how to select edible lotus leaf stems.

The fragrance of lotus is refreshing.

Lingzhu had no time to get involved in Shao Yunshi's affairs. She was pulling Chang Shanchun to test the carrying capacity of the water lily.

Because of this lotus pond, the four young people had a great time playing.

However, no matter how fun it is, you can't do it for too long.

After having such a good time, Shao Yunshi was still thinking about something important, so he took everyone back.

Chang Shanchun saw Ling Zhu happy and wanted to stay a few more days, but before he could express his thoughts, Ling Zhu stopped him. After all, official business cannot be delayed.

A few people went back to Zhang's house and got a bunch of lotus flowers, leaves and stems. They asked Nurse Miao to look at them and she said there were too many.

Shao Yunshi was afraid that the wet nurse would nag her, so she quickly took Ling Zhu back to the main courtyard.

Several people freshened up before getting together again.

Ximei and Caixin prepared melon and fruit tea early.

After drinking a mouthful of tea, Lingzhu sighed, "Ximei is so considerate. What will I do if I turn around and leave you?"

Ximei doesn't take credit, "Miss Zhu, please don't praise me. This tea was prepared by Caixin. You, don't worry about not having enough tea in the future."

Shao Yunshi also took a sip, "This tea is indeed not brewed by Ximei."

Shao Yunshi likes her tea to be light, so Ximei's tea is light. This tea has a moderate taste as soon as you drink it, which shows the craftsmanship of Cai Xin.

Ling Zhu felt that Cai Xin still had this skill, and smiled and said: "My mother loves me so much that she gave me such a clever person as a gift."

Cai Xin hid in the kitchen, so naturally she couldn't hear the compliments, but she still heard everyone's laughter, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

These days, she worried about it every day, fearing that she would not do well and make the lady uncomfortable.

Ximei came back from delivering the dishes. Seeing her relaxed look, she smiled and said, "That's how you should be. The ladies are so easy to get along with. What are you worried about?"

When Cai Xin was in the Lu family, she got along well with Ximei, and now it's even better.

After hearing Ximei's words, she was not shy and whispered: "Ximei, miss, why are they laughing?"

Ximei knew Cai Xin's virtue and said happily: "They praise your tea-making skills."

When Cai Xin heard this, she knew it was Ximei who was helping her, and hurriedly said: "Sister Ximei, I didn't make the tea by myself. If it weren't for your guidance, how could I have made it well?"

Ximei smiled and teased: "Just remember the good things about your sister, don't think too much about anything else." Cai Xin nodded honestly, "I will definitely remember the good things about my sister, and also the things I hide from my aunt, Miss Zhu,... …”

Seeing how honest she was, Ximei was startled and hurriedly stopped her.

The kitchen is bustling, and the yard is no less lively.

While the mood was high, Shao Yunshi glanced at Ling Zhu, who looked happy, and secretly made a decision.

She thought for a moment, put down the tea cup, and said to Chang Shanchun: "Brother-in-law, do you know what Sister Zhu and I discussed yesterday?"

Although it was something the two women had just discussed last night, Chang Shanchun really knew about it.

Then, he nodded calmly, "Well, thank you sister for the tip. I was negligent in this matter."

Luo Congbai naturally knew the general idea. He looked at Chang Shanchun and asked, "Do you have any specific plans? If it is useful to us, just tell us."

When Ling Zhu got up early in the morning, she told Chang Shanchun what she had said to Shao Yunshi yesterday, and the two of them had initially made a summary.

Now that everyone mentioned it again, although Ling Zhu was still a little embarrassed, she was much calmer after all. She didn't interrupt, just looked at Chang Shanchun quietly.

Chang Shanchun looked into Ling Zhu's eyes, gave her a comforting expression, and said: "As soon as we return to Wuhan, we will have a banquet. Naturally, we directly said that we got married in Qingdao in the presence of my father-in-law and mother-in-law. This time it is a supplementary invitation. guest."

"Okay, do you want to get married in the newspapers?" Shao Yunshi was not enthusiastic about getting married in the newspapers.

Ling Zhu obviously didn't care either, she shook her head and said, "No, we're getting married ourselves, and we don't have any other relatives to notify."

Luo Congbai thought for a while and said, "That's okay. The matter in Qingdao is not over yet, so don't attract the attention of others."

"Isn't it possible? Can the person surnamed Jin still chase him to Wuhan? The Cao family's mother and daughter should have too much to take care of themselves right now, right?" Shao Yunshi shook her head.

As soon as Shao Yunshi finished speaking, Ling Zhu immediately turned pale and said, "It's really possible, let alone the one named Jin. This Cao family mother and daughter are not easy to deal with, so it's better to avoid them."

Seeing that Lingzhu was frightened, Chang Shanchun's eyes darkened and he comforted him: "Don't be afraid, even if the Cao family's mother and daughter know her whereabouts, so what? I'm so messed up now, can't I still protect my wife?"

Ling Zhu's hand was gently held, and her heartbeat gradually calmed down. She blushed and said, "I know, but I just don't want to embarrass you."

In his previous life, when Shao Yunshi's country was ruined and his family was destroyed, he was as worried as Lingzhu all day long. He could worry about trivial matters for half a day.

She fully understood Ling Zhu's mood at this moment. When Cao Yun and her daughter were desperate, they would go to Wuhan to blackmail Ling Zhu.

However, Lingzhu doesn’t need to know any of this now.

Then, she comforted her and said, "Don't worry. Before we left, dad said that he would keep an eye on the Cao family's mother and daughter. Even if dad misses something, the Mai family will never do it."

Ling Zhu looked up at Shao Yunshi in surprise, "Really? Godfather really looked at Cao's mother and daughter?"

She simply didn't want to mention the Mai family.

Shao Yunshi felt very sad when she saw Ling Zhu's surprised look, and nodded in confirmation.

She then said to Chang Shanchun: "Brother-in-law, if you plan to make up for the banquet in Wuhan, we may not be able to get there in time. Later, I will ask my aunt and uncle to be Lingzhu's mother-in-law. Do you have any objection?"

Chang Shanchun laughed and said: "Mr. Jiang is my old commander, how can I object? I wish I could. With Mrs. Jiang coming forward, Zhuzhu will not only have a place to go in Wuhan, but also a backstage, and no one will dare to give her any shame." Saw it."

His words were sincere and grateful.

Shao Yunshi didn't know that her uncle was already a teacher. Thinking that Wuhan and Jiangxi were so close, she suddenly felt bad.

Luo Congbai was sitting next to her. When he saw her expression change, he immediately thought of something.

Worried that her whereabouts would be revealed, he hurriedly said: "Don't you have something to give to Lingzhu? Go get it quickly. After lunch, they will have to leave in a hurry."
