After the Republic of China

Chapter 932: Dilemma
Parents always hope that young girls will have a peaceful life.

Therefore, under everyone's careful care, Shao Yunshi lived a very peaceful life.

Time passed quickly, from midsummer to cold winter, and then to the end of the year.

The situation in Jiangxi is becoming increasingly serious.

Shao Yunshi was very depressed because of this incident.

Not only Shao Yunshi in Shao Mansion was like this, but Xiaodong Feihong and others were also like this, and some were even anxious.

It was also thanks to Master Ling that he was able to remain calm and go out every day, so that he could get some sporadic gossip to ease everyone's mood.

The anxious days passed by, and as the New Year was approaching, Shao Yunshi was in a bad mood and thought about not going back to the Shao family in Yangzhou to celebrate the festival.

Shao Yunshi also happened to receive a call from her grandfather, telling her not to go back.

So, they spent this New Year alone in Shanghai.

In Qingdao, Shao Yunshi called and told them about this.

Because she was afraid of the cold and there were too many people on the road, she declined the invitation to spend the New Year at the Lu family's house and made the decision to stay in Shanghai.

Everyone thought that the old lady of the Yan family now lived in Shanghai, and with her taking care of the children, no one forced the children to go back for the New Year.

Since she wasn't going back to Yangzhou and didn't have to go to Qingdao, Shao Yunshi felt that perhaps this year she would be able to have a more comfortable New Year.

Unexpectedly, on the 28th day of the lunar year, she received a call from housekeeper Xiao Zhang.

At this time, she was decorating the house with Xiaodong and others.

The call was from housekeeper Xiao Zhang. She quickly put down the work in her hands, took the phone from Cuilan, and said hello.

"Miss, please be careful these days. The master may want to bring you to Peking." Butler Xiao Zhang responded with the word "Miss" and told her the story.

He was helpless about this and couldn't persuade the girl, so he could only call himself, and do it secretly.

Shao Yunshi's heart skipped a beat. "Do Grandpa and Old Grandpa Zhang know about this?"

At this time, housekeeper Xiao Zhang did not dare to hide anything anymore, "The old man and my father went to Wuhan. Otherwise, how could this happen?"

I went to my aunt's house. By the way, my aunt had given birth to a child. Given my grandmother's love for showing off, I definitely had to go and visit her.

Shao Yunshi asked curiously, "Why did Grandpa go there too?"

Butler Xiao Zhang sighed, "The old man must be fed up with the things happening in Yangzhou, so he decided to go out for a stroll."

This might not be true. You know, my grandfather didn't tell me when he called me a few days ago that he was going to Wuhan for the New Year. This must have been a last-minute decision.

Sighing secretly, Shao Yunshi said, "Uncle Zhang, is there anything going on in Beiping?"

Seeing that the young lady did not ask any other questions, Butler Xiao Zhang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's nothing else. It's just that there are many men of marriageable age in the families of the masters and superiors, and they are also eager to get married."

This statement contained a lot of information. Shao Yunshi's eyes flickered, "Second Miss has decided?"

Butler Xiao Zhang smiled and said, "No, the second young lady has a high standard."

It looks like nothing good is going to happen.

Shao Yunshi said helplessly: "Grandpa said that no one else needs to worry about my marriage. Didn't the Engagement Letter be given to the Master? How are they going to handle this matter?"

What a smart young lady.

Butler Xiao Zhang said, "It's a new society now, most people don't care about these things. As long as both families agree, the marriage can be considered a marriage after it's published in the newspaper."

These are the unsophisticated families.

Shao Yunshi understood, "Have you told Grandpa Zhang about this?"

Butler Xiao Zhang said hurriedly: "It's New Year's Day, I didn't dare to make this call."

"Did this just happen?" Shao Yunshi was certain. Butler Xiao Zhang's current position in Peking was somewhat awkward, so he got the news late. He sighed, "I just learned about this."

This is quite interesting. Shao Yunshi guessed that Butler Xiao Zhang had probably been sidelined.

Because of Shao Yunshi's speculation, there was an awkward silence on both ends of the phone.

It was probably Butler Xiao Zhang who called secretly and was in a hurry.

After a moment of silence, he urged in a low voice: "Miss, what are your plans?"

Just then a gust of north wind blew, and Butler Xiao Zhang shivered a few times as he stood in the phone booth.

Shao Yunshi naturally heard about his predicament over the phone and became even more worried about his situation.

Not wanting to trouble him any more, Shao Yunshi didn't say much, only said: "Well, please keep an eye on this matter, I will contact grandpa myself."

Butler Xiao Zhang did this because he listened to his father's instructions and contacted the young lady directly if there was anything.

After the conversation, he was extremely impressed. The eldest lady was indeed as his father said, a cultured, generous and courageous lady.

Feeling happy, Butler Xiao Zhang said even better, "Don't worry, Miss, I will keep a close eye on things here. By the way, I'm the only one who knows the eldest lady's phone number."

That’s good. Shao Yunshi thanked him a few words and hung up the phone.

Butler Xiao Zhang heard that the eldest lady hung up the phone, then he breathed a sigh of relief and hung up the phone.

However, he did not leave the phone booth directly. Instead, he looked around and only came out after seeing nothing unusual.

He was also extremely helpless about his current situation.

If his father had not emphasized that he must take good care of the master, he would not have wanted to stay in Peking. It was too depressing.

It was a pity that the old man entrusted all the household expenses to him to manage, otherwise, he wouldn’t have known when he would die.

Thinking of a certain situation, Butler Xiao Zhang became more hunched over.

Even if Shao Yunshi, who was far away in Shanghai, thought about the situation of housekeeper Xiao Zhang, she would never have thought that it would almost involve his life safety.

Xiaodong was by her side the whole time. When he saw her hang up the phone, he looked gloomy and a little anxious.

Just now, she also heard a few words, so she said: "Senior sister, but something strange happened in Beiping again."

When Shao Yunshi saw her approaching, she didn't reprimand her, but said in a listless tone, "I don't know why Grandpa went to Wuhan?"

Her words were incoherent, Xiaodong frowned and said, "Wasn't it a call from Beiping just now?"

"Well, Butler Xiao Zhang said that the master might recruit me." Shao Yunshi said with a headache.

Xiaodong curled his lips, "Because the old man is going to Wuhan for the New Year? They are afraid he has no good intentions."

Shao Yunshi didn't care about her eavesdropping, she just told Xiao Zhang what he said, and finally said: "They really don't have any good intentions."

Xiaodong's eyes flickered, "Could it be that the master is going to be promoted again? That's why he is doing these ghostly tricks again."

After hearing this, Shao Yunshi looked over in surprise and said, "You are doing well now. You can actually think of this."

Xiao Dong pouted, "It's just like lice on a bald man's head, it's obvious."

This was quite vulgar, Shao Yunshi said with a smile: "According to you, what should we do now?"

Xiaodong is a straightforward person. "What else can I do? I will just ignore it."

Shao Yunshi sighed, "You make it sound so easy. After all, he is my elder. I can't bear the pressure of filial piety."

Xiaodong was stunned and a little worried, "That's not what they said. Could it be that they wanted to trick you into going to Beijing under the pretext of being sick?"

Unexpectedly, what she said turned out to be a prophecy.
