After the Republic of China

Chapter 96

In the cold night, a gust of cold wind blows away the heat from the whole body, causing people to shiver suddenly.

Bu Yi gathered his outer shirt, looked at the frowning second younger brother, feeling uncertain, and sighed, "By the way, the person who visited Huaiyuan at night a few days ago, how did you check?"

"There are some shadows." Bu Er was in charge of intelligence, and he was not ambiguous at all when he talked about the business, and he did not make any judgments.

"Well, hurry up, this is related to the safety of the young lady." As soon as the words were finished, Bu Yi had already drifted away.

"Brother, wait for me. What are you in such a hurry for? You didn't speak clearly." Bu Er suppressed his voice and shouted, "What did Miss order?"

As Bu Er was talking, he was dumbfounded when he saw the elder brother who was more handsome in kung fu, and he didn't dare to stop.

Fortunately, they were familiar with the terrain, chose to walk where no one was around, and stayed away from Shao's house, otherwise, with this posture, they would definitely be exposed.

Bu Yi probably knew it in his heart, and he didn't intend to stop at all, so he went straight to the back and said, "These days, you stay in Huaiyuan in person, and I'll go out of the city."

"Out of the city?!" Before Bu Er had time to ask, Bu Yi was already out of sight.

In the vast night, no matter how much Bu Er stomped his feet, he could only sigh and stop if he couldn't catch up.

"Second Master, do you really want to stay?" Seeing Bu Er sighing, his subordinates hurried out of shape.

"What's the matter, you didn't hear what the old man said, let's go!" Bu Er turned over neatly, and he climbed onto the outer wall of the Huai Garden.

Seeing the second master enter the courtyard, his subordinates did not dare to hesitate, and followed behind.

In fact, Shao Yunshi did not agree with them guarding the garden in the cold night, this was a private agreement between Bu Yi and the others.

It's also fortunate that the people who stayed behind had strong bodies, otherwise they would definitely be frozen into lumps of ice.

Early the next morning, Xiaodong, who got up early, found several people guarding the courtyard.

The few people hid well at first, but it was a pity that they had been frozen all night, and their movements must have slowed down a lot. That's when Xiaodong discovered it.

Xiaodong knew about it, and Shao Yunshi naturally followed suit.

She didn't care about getting angry, and hurriedly called Ximei to the kitchen to make a soup to dispel the cold. It was frozen overnight, and the simple ginger soup would definitely not work.

Ximei also knew how powerful she was, so she went to the small kitchen in the courtyard without saying anything about serving the young lady first.

After the guards ate the soup, Shao Yunshi also made arrangements.

She didn't care about breakfast, so she called Uncle Bu directly into the big study.

Because Xiaodong lived in the big study yesterday, it is very warm now.

When Bu Eryi came in, he immediately shuddered.

Shao Yunshi looked at it, both a little moved and a little helpless.

Then, she shook her head and said, "You keep watch, but Uncle Bu arranged it?"

Bu Er laughed aloud twice, and said: "It's not peaceful outside, Yangzhou City suddenly flooded with so many people from the south, we'd better be more cautious."

Yesterday, on the 21st of the twelfth lunar month, that is, January 1932, 1 in the Gregorian calendar, the war broke out in Shanghai.

All of a sudden, people from the surrounding areas of Shanghai ran to Nanjing.

Shanghai, Guofu, Yangzhou City.

The three places have convenient transportation and close contacts.

When the war broke out in Shanghai, Yangzhou City was the first choice of refuge compared to the surrounding areas of Nanjing.

For a while, ships, cars, and people flowed, noisy.

Although Shao Yunshi had never seen the chaos outside, she knew it well. The chaos of war was the scene she least wanted to see.

Shao Yunshi sighed secretly, and said to Bu Er: "Since we want to guard the Huai Garden, let's discuss it. If you are like this, it won't be worth it if you get sick from the cold later."

The words were a bit loose, Bu Er was more lively than Bu Yi, and smiled directly: "Miss, do you agree to our night watch?"

Shao Yunshi nodded and said: "Well, I can't stop it, I can only arrange it well, I don't have to make you freeze."

Next, the two discussed the matter of guarding.

Shao Yunshi had just finished delivering cloth two here, before serving the bowl, Xiaodong came to report, and little aunt Shao Lanxiang came.

Due to the young master's illness in the Shao family, Mrs. Shao canceled the activity of greeting him in the morning, and no one was allowed to move around in the house.

Therefore, the surroundings suddenly became quieter.

So, Shao Yunshi was not surprised, she didn't know the news until her little aunt arrived in Huaiyuan.

Shao Lanxiang came quickly, as soon as Shao Yunshi got out of the second gate of the inner courtyard, she was right in front of her.

"Auntie, did you come here this morning for something?" Shao Yunshi grabbed the little aunt's arm.

Shao Lanxiang came alone, and her girl Xiaocui was sent out to find out the news.

Shao Lanxiang obviously had something to do, nodded directly and said, "Well, have you had breakfast yet?"

"I'm about to use it. Has my aunt used it? If not, let's eat some together." Shao Yunshi felt that the little aunt probably came with an empty stomach.

Sure enough, Shao Lanxiang did not refuse, nodded and said: "Well, since you are using it, I will eat some with you. I originally planned to use some snacks on the way."

"Auntie is going out?" Shao Yunshi asked strangely.

Shao Lanxiang sighed and said, "The war broke out in Shanghai yesterday, so there is an urgent need to raise donations."

This topic is too heavy, Shao Yunshi sighed, "What can I do to help?"

Shao Lanxiang patted her niece's hand and said, "What is lacking now is not only funds, but also manpower and supplies, and the most important thing is emergency kits."

Shao Yunshi's eyes flashed, "Auntie and Uncle are talking?"

Ever since that principal Jiang came to power again, it has been difficult for my aunt to contact my uncle.Shao Lanxiang and Shao Yunshi murmured about this matter.

Shao Lanxiang knew that her niece was very clever, so she didn't dodge it. She nodded and said, "Well, your uncle said that he won't be on the battlefield for a while."

Hearing that her uncle didn't need to go to the battlefield, Shao Yunshi breathed a sigh of relief, "Then aunt can feel more at ease."

Shao Lanxiang couldn't tell what his mood was, and said again: "The government is busy moving to Luoyang, and your uncle is busy with it."

Shao Yunshi's eyes flashed, and she said, "It seems that the government is determined to fight to the end."

"Well, the purpose of moving the capital is to show our determination. The country can no longer have the three eastern provinces." Shao Lanxiang said in a low tone.

Although Shao Yunshi didn't have much feeling for this government, but the country was still that country, so she naturally felt the same way.

However, she was not discouraged, and said directly: "The government's determination to fight the war is the savior of the nation. China is a big country after all, and it will not just be depressed like this."

The niece's words were the most inspiring words Shao Lanxiang had heard these days.

Shao Lanxiang was probably ignited by her niece's words, and her mood improved a lot. She smelled the warm fragrance unique to her niece's room, and she felt even more at ease.

She stared directly at her niece with shining eyes and said, "Do you know what I'm here for today?"

ah?Shao Yunshi was a little dumbfounded. She knew that her little aunt must have something to ask her, but she didn't know what it was.

Seeing her aunt making fun of her rarely in a good mood, she could only guess cooperatively: "But aunt wants to take me out to see the world?"
