After the Republic of China

Chapter 938 Banquet
In the study, Shao Yunshi was left sitting alone, and the space was silent for a while.

Shao Yunshi was thinking about the war that had started in September last year and had continued until this spring, with the radio and newspaper reports becoming more tragic day by day.

Although, during the journey, she received a brief letter from Mu Tou through Tian Chen's hands, but judging from the damage of the letter, his situation was definitely not good and it was worrying.

Just as I was thinking about it, Hero Ling came in a hurry.

Shao Yunshi didn't bother to talk too much with him and asked directly, "Uncle Ling, is there any news on the street these days?"

Ling Daxia also got the news. "Yes, since September last year, the National Army has launched the fifth encirclement and suppression campaign against Jiangxi. This time, not only a large number of troops were dispatched, but also a lot of armored weapons."

Perhaps it was because he was too scared. Even Master Ling, who had already seen through everything, took a breath when he heard this.

Shao Yunshi read the newspaper, listened to the radio, and even got news from her friends every day, so naturally she knew all this.

"Uncle, what you mean is that it's dangerous over there this time?" Shao Yunshi said this with some trepidation.

Hero Ling nodded seriously, "Yes, so we have to make more preparations."

The news brought by Hero Ling added another layer of gloom to Shao Yunshi's heart.

Shao Yunshi took a deep breath and said, "What do you think of the words Xiaodong brought you?"

Hero Ling also came to discuss this matter. "This is feasible, but we have to do it quickly, otherwise we will be passive."

Shao Yunshi thought about it and said, "Who do you think you can take with you?"

Hero Ling shook his head, "No, I'll go alone, it's safer this way."

Shao Yunshi frowned, "You have a lot of contacts and are easily recognized. It's better to bring someone with you."

Hero Ling still objected, "No, I can disguise myself and no one will recognize me."

Seeing that he insisted, Shao Yunshi had no choice but to say, "Then be careful. We will wait for your news at home."

Hero Ling was not afraid of these things. He just smiled and left. The things outside were not simple and could not be delayed any longer.

When Shao Yunshi saw that Master Ling had left, she knew that this was the only thing she could do no matter how anxious she was, so she turned her mind away.

It just so happened that she was going to Teacher Hu's place today. Maybe she could get some useful information by going out for a walk, which was better than staying at home and worrying.

Shao Yunshi got up quickly, packed up and prepared to leave.

Xiaodong walked into the study and saw the young lady packing up her books. He hurriedly asked, "Where are you going this weekend?"

Shao Yunshi said: "I'm going to Teacher Hu's house."

"Ah, Ximei is going to bring Jinrong here today, what will we do if you are not at home?" Xiaodong said hurriedly.

"There's this matter?" Shao Yunshi was stunned. "Yes, yes, I talked about this last week. I've been confused these past few days."

Xiaodong knew that his senior sister had been forgetting things these days because she was worried about the situation in Jiangxi, so he didn't make fun of her.

Because Jin Rong was coming, Shao Yunshi had to cancel her plan to meet Teacher Hu.

Ximei saw that the wedding date was set, and Shao Yunshi had already sent her home to get married.

Their coming today is also the Shao residence acting as the bride's home to entertain the engaged couple.

Since you are entertaining guests, you have to get the standards right.

Shao Yunshi temporarily put aside all the confusion and said directly to Xiaodong, "Go tell Chef Zhang to make a few dishes from Jinrong's hometown. Also, get some of the nourishing ingredients in the warehouse. Don't be reluctant."

Xiaodong particularly likes to eat seafood. When he heard this, he hurriedly said, "I'll ask Master Zhang if he bought any marine fish, clams, etc. today. If he didn't, it's still not too late to buy them now."

Seeing her so positive, Shao Yunshi felt much better.

Ximei and Jinrong didn't arrive early. They were about to set off after lunch was ready.

Fortunately, everyone in the Shao family knew that Jin Rong was busy, and they didn't blame him. Ximei was very embarrassed and was tense all the way.

As soon as she got off the car, she hurriedly said to Xiaodong who came to pick her up, "Jinrong was late for get out of class today, and then he went to buy some fruit, so he was even later. Miss, are you not angry?"

Jin Rong also hurriedly confessed his crime.

Xiaodong glanced at Jinrong and said to Ximei, "It's okay. The young lady is reading a book. Others can wait. Let's go in."

Ximei became happy as soon as she heard what she said.

Jin Rong is not Ximei. He knows Xiaodong is talking to him, and he appreciates that everyone values ​​him so much.

Then, he said flatteringly: "Everyone who is tired is waiting for us. I will definitely drink a few more glasses to make amends later."

His words were frank and Xiaodong smiled.

The Shao family had already set up the banquet, so the three of them went directly to the small flower hall.

Today, Feihong, Luo Cheng and others are sitting at the table.

Originally, Uncle Bu should have come, but in order to conceal the whereabouts of Hero Ling, Shao Yunshi let him stay in her room.

They saw each other, exchanged a few words of greeting, and then sat down at their tables.

Now in the Shao Mansion, Shao Yunshi no longer followed the rules and formalities, and just sat at a table.

However, the presence of Shao Yunshi was somewhat of a hindrance. Although the atmosphere was good, it was too lukewarm.

Shao Yunshi understood, and took Ximei and Xiaodong to use it quickly, and then left it for the men to use by themselves.

As soon as she left, the atmosphere at the banquet became lively.

Nowadays, Jin Rong, Feihong and Luo Cheng get along quite well.

It was also a banquet to entertain the new son-in-law, so naturally both sides drank to their heart's content.

The warm spring breeze blowing in the corridor, mixed with the noise in the small flower hall, created an unusual harmony that made people feel very comfortable.

Shao Yunshi led her sister Xiaodong back to the living room in a good mood.

As soon as he entered the door, Xiaodong made tea.

Ximei looked at Xiaodong like this and said with emotion: "I didn't expect that Xiaodong would be so well taken care of when I was not around."

Xiao Dong sneered: "You talk as if others are fools."

The two had been together since childhood, and to be separated so suddenly, not only was Shao Yunshi not used to it, Xiaodong was also not used to it, but she always liked to speak in a sarcastic way.

Ximei is now married, and her mind has grown a lot. Knowing Xiaodong's personality, she just looked at Xiaodong with a smile and said, "You are really not stupid, you are very capable."

Seeing that she didn't oppose him, Xiaodong felt bored and just pouted and stopped talking.

Seeing them like this, Shao Yunshi didn't care and just asked Ximei, "Is the house decorated? Where is the dowry?"

Ximei was now much more confident and nodded, "Don't worry, Miss. Jinrong hired someone he knew to buy the house. It's very good. My mother has already prepared the dowry."

"Has the Jin family given any response?" Xiaodong interrupted.

Ximei blushed and said, "Well, although the Jin family is ordinary, they are not stingy. They sent a lot of money and some old jewelry."

That was enough. Shao Yunshi smiled comfortably, "Don't look down on those old jewelry. The older they are, the more it shows that they are family heirlooms."

Ximei nodded, "Yes, my mother said so, and the old lady also said that the Jin family knows how to be polite."

That's good. Shao Yunshi asked again, "The date is set a little too hastily. Will anyone from the Jin family come to watch the ceremony?"
