When Wei Nian got home, he told Chen Xuan, "My hair stood on end at that moment."
Chen Xuan glanced at Wei Nian and asked, "Mrs. Wen and Miss Wen are talking, why are your hairs standing on end?"
"Don't you think Madam Wen is scary?"
"What's so scary about that? Madam Wen is very knowledgeable. She even taught me Japanese. She speaks Japanese or English very well." Chen Xuan had a very good impression of Madam Wen. "She is a good person and knows right from wrong. That Miss Wen is really blind. We are already married, but she wants to dance with you, a married man. It's not good for her, a newly divorced lady."
Wei Nian said, "I don't want to dance with her either. She's like that. If I reject her, it would be like insulting her."
"Brother Anian, you have to be more careful in the future." Chen Xuan said seriously, "Don't dance with her all the time. I think she wants to seduce you."
Wei Nian almost choked on his saliva and waved his hands repeatedly, "What are you thinking? With Miss Wen's arrogant personality, only Wei Yin thinks she is sincere in dating us. Besides, we are good friends. Xuan'er, except for you, I have never looked at other women straight in the eye."
Chen Xuan made a request to Wei Nian, "Then don't dance with her in the future. I will be unhappy when I see you dancing with her."
"Okay, got it." Wei Nian smiled and leaned over to ask, "Are you jealous?"
"Yes." Chen Xuan admitted directly, "The first time she asked you to dance, I was not very happy."
"I will never dance with her again."
"I'd rather dance with Madam Wen." Unlike her dislike for Wen Yaying, Chen Xuan had a favorable impression of Madam Wen. "Madam Wen is so nice. She knows that it's not good for Miss Wen to always dance with a married man like you, Brother Anian. Madam Wen didn't ask Mr. Rong out at all, but she knew this. She stopped Miss Wen without us having to find an excuse. This is what a sensible elder should do."
Whenever Chen Xuan mentioned Madam Wen, Wei Nian always felt a little uncomfortable. He touched the hairs on his body and said, "I always feel that Madam Wen is not so easy to get along with."
"No, she's very easy to get along with, sensible, knowledgeable, and beautiful." Chen Xuan was full of praise. "No wonder the book says that appearance is determined by the heart. This saying couldn't be more true for Madam Wen."
Chen Xuan yearned, "If I could only have half of Madam Wen's knowledge and beauty, I would be satisfied."
"You are too modest." Wei Nian did not think that Madam Wen was wonderful. He looked at Chen Xuan and said, "My Xuan'er wants to be a first-class professor."
Chen Xuan nodded, "This is my ultimate ideal."
Wei Nian stretched lazily and put his arm around Chen Xuan's shoulders. "I will go to fewer dances like this in the future. Even at Wei Yin's, I'll talk to her. There's nothing wrong with dancing, but don't let it get to your head. We're not like those young men and women at the dance. We still have to focus on business."
Chen Xuan nodded, "Also remember to read and study every day. Knowledge is the ultimate foundation of a person. Look at Madam Wen, she is knowledgeable and well-educated." Yearning for Madam Wen, Chen Xuan said, "I didn't get to talk to Mr. Rong much today. Mr. Rong is in Beijing. Tomorrow I will pick some strawberries and ask Shopkeeper Li to send them to Mr. Rong. I should also send some to Madam Wen, but unfortunately I don't know her address."
"It's better to stay away from the Wen family." Wei Nian shook his head, "I always feel that the Wen family is a little weird."
"Except for Miss Wen, I think Mrs. Wen and Mr. Wen are all very polite people." Chen Xuan was very jealous. She quickly came up with an idea and clapped her hands, saying, "Ashu likes Mrs. Wen very much. She will definitely go to Mrs. Wen's place. When the time comes, ask her first and ask her to take her along."
Wei Nian also went with Chen Xuan.
Wei Yin didn't even need Wei Nian's advice as he left the social scene in despair.
It's not that Wei Yin suddenly saw through the world, but something happened that made Wei Yin feel discouraged about the social scene. To be honest, this matter had nothing to do with Wei Yin or Qin Shu. The reason why Wei Yin knew about it was because Wei Yin knew both parties involved in the matter and had some business contacts with one of them.
This is a bit far-fetched. This year, Wei Yin accepted the commission from the editor-in-chief of Beiping Daily, Ji, to draw the calendar for Beiping Daily. As a result, she became familiar with Editor-in-chief Ji. Wei Yin has always been lively and generous. She is also in the cosmetics and clothing business. After a few visits, she became familiar with Mrs. Ji. As the editor-in-chief of a newspaper, Editor-in-chief Ji is a big figure in the cultural circle of Beiping. Editor-in-chief Ji has a son. This son Ji is now studying at Peking University and is dating Miss Han, the daughter of Mayor Han.
This is what Wei Yin said.
Wei Yin was not shooting in the dark.
Wei Yin had told Chen Xuan more than once about the relationship between Ji and Han. Even when Chen Xuan was lucky enough to see Miss Han at a dance, Miss Han was often with Mr. Ji, and the two often danced together at the dance. Even in Chen Xuan's opinion, the two were dating.
However, just after the dance ended that day, Miss Han and Mr. Ji broke up.
Mr. Ji had no place to confide his love, so he committed suicide at home that night. Fortunately, he was discovered by Mrs. Ji in time. Mrs. Ji was heartbroken and sent her son to the hospital to find out the truth. Why did a healthy child suddenly commit suicide
Wei Yin knew about this because a young lady named Bai who went to the store to pick up a custom-made handbag casually mentioned it. Wei Yin was a little surprised and even more puzzled, "They were very good before, how come they broke up suddenly?"
Miss Bai's fingers, painted with bright kohl, casually stroked the handbag decorated with snow-white mink. She smiled sweetly, but the words that came out of her red lips were cold and ruthless, "Can it be considered a good match if the two families are not well-matched?"
Wei Yin was a little anxious, "Aren't they in love?"
Miss Bai's lips curved, revealing a sharp look, "If they were not in love, why would Miss Han associate with Master Ji? Miss Han is the daughter of a mayor, would she marry the son of a newspaper editor? It's OK if they were in love. Miss Han is already at the age of marriage, and the man she wants to marry must be worthy of her family. Wouldn't it be a disgrace for her to marry the son of the editor-in-chief?"
Wei Yin wanted to say, but, they were so good before. Miss Bai seemed to see what Wei Yin was thinking and smiled, "How many young masters are in love with the current celebrities, who would really marry a current celebrity as his wife? When talking about love, you want to dig out your heart and soul, but when it comes to marriage, both parties must be weighed on the scale. Family background, origin, dowry, betrothal gifts, even a penny difference will not do."
Miss Bai smiled and said goodbye. When she paid the bill, she asked Wei Yin to give her a 20% discount. Wei Yin said, "Your price is already much cheaper."
Miss Bai blinked her elf-like eyes and said, "I have taught you the truth. This 20% discount is a discount for the truth."
Wei Yin was almost mad at this shameless person, so she just rolled her eyes at her and asked Shopkeeper Li to give her a discount. Only then did Miss Bai leave with her handbag in a satisfied and happy mood. Wei Yin suddenly felt bored, and couldn't help but think more about the friends she met at the dance. Were they just joking around for the sake of face, or were they really interested in making friends with her
In addition, Wei Nian advised her to calm down and not be so realistic. A beautiful girl like Wei Yin would be eye-catching even at a dance party. There were also several young men pursuing her. Wei Yin randomly picked one who came to her shop to show her affection and asked, "Are you going to marry me? When will you come to my house to propose?" Since then, the young man has never been seen again.
Wei Yin was depressed, but fortunately she was not a frivolous woman. Wei Yin told Qin Shu about these things, and she felt bored with social occasions without Wei Nian's persuasion. "This dance party is fine for fun, but it's too stupid to talk about feelings."
Qin Shu came from a different background, and she had never met anyone who wanted to play around with her. Those boys who pursued her wanted to talk about feelings with her. Of course, the premise was that everyone knew that Qin's father was the director of the Shanghai Education Department. Qin Shu was not stupid, and she understood it after a little thought. In addition, there was the matter of Master Ji's suicide. Fortunately, he was fine. If Master Ji had been in trouble, the Ji family would have only had such an only son.
Why-
In addition, Wei Nian didn't want them to go to the dance all the time. The key point was that without Wei Nian's company, Wei Yin and Qin Shu really didn't have the courage to go out at night. And Madam Wen came to Beijing, and Qin Shu was busy hanging around Madam Wen, so he didn't go to the dance anymore.
Mrs. Wen said she wanted to send Qin Shu cakes, and she sent the driver to deliver them the next day. Moreover, Mrs. Wen was very resourceful and knew that Qin Shu was renting the Wei family house, so she simply made two copies, one for Qin Shu and the other for Chen Xuan.
With the cakes and buns sent by Mrs. Wen, Chen Xuan naturally told Qin Shu that she wanted to give Mrs. Wen some strawberries, and wanted Qin Shu to take them along.
Qin Shu smiled, "It's just right. I bought some braised pork in clear sauce and wanted to send it to Aunt Wen. And I also got some strawberries from Second Sister-in-law. One meat and one vegetable, just like one civil and one military. Second Sister-in-law, why don't you come with me? I think Aunt Wen likes you very much."
Chen Xuan didn't want to see Wen Yaying, so she shook her head and said, "I just talked to Madam Wen once. Although I admire her knowledge, I can't disturb her rashly. Besides, I don't want to see Miss Wen either."
"What's wrong?" Qin Shu still didn't understand.
Chen Xuan didn't hide anything. She and Wei Nian were married, so she was open about her jealousy. Chen Xuan said, "She kept wanting to dance with Brother Anian, but Brother Anian is married. It's not good for her to do this."
"Sister-in-law, you think too much. Brother Wei rarely dances with Miss Wen. The last dance was the first time." Qin Shu handed Chen Xuan a small glutinous rice cake and took one to eat. While eating, he said, "Brother Wei usually dances with Ah Yin. Sometimes Ah Yin is not free, and he doesn't want to talk to other women, so he will use me as a shield. Brother Anian is very cautious. It was only last time that I heard that it was Miss Wen who asked Brother Wei to dance. After all, Miss Wen is Mr. Wen's eldest daughter. She is a girl who took the initiative to ask a man to dance. Brother Wei must have danced with her out of courtesy. Sister-in-law, you were there that day."
"I'm not talking about Brother Anian, I'm talking about Miss Wen." Chen Xuan put a small cake in her mouth. It was soft and sweet, and tasted very good. Chen Xuan felt much better after eating such a delicious cake. She said, "I know what Brother Anian is like."
"Miss Wen is having a hot relationship with Mayor Han's son, so it's impossible for her to have any intentions on Second Brother Wei."
After all, due to the relationship with Madam Wen, Chen Xuan didn't want to say too much about Wen Yaying's faults. Chen Xuan smiled and said, "Actually, I understand that Brother Anian knows his limits. I'm just a little jealous.
Qin Shu no longer persuaded Chen Xuan to go with her. However, Mrs. Wen lived in the Wen Mansion when she came to Beijing. Wen Yaying had her own residence and did not move back to the Wen Mansion to live with Mrs. Wen just because she came to Beijing.
When Qin Shu gave the gifts, he spoke well of Chen Xuan. He personally delivered the strawberries and the card to Madam Wen. Qin Shu smiled and said, "I bought the braised pork in soy sauce. It's the best braised pork in Beijing. Aunt Wen, please try it. The strawberries were grown by Second Sister Wei. She grows very good strawberries. Every year, the Six Nations Hotel buys out all of them. Second Sister Wei was too embarrassed to come here, so she asked me to bring them to Aunt Wen to try."
Mrs. Wen glanced at the card written in English by Chen Xuan. A smile appeared in her eyes. She put the card back into the envelope and pressed it under her palm. Mrs. Wen smiled and said, "Every time I go to the Six Nations Hotel, I see fresh strawberries. I originally thought they were shipped from abroad, but I didn't expect that they were grown by Mrs. Wei. Can strawberries be grown in China?"
"As far as I know, my second sister-in-law is the only one who knows how to grow strawberries. The ones in summer are seasonal strawberries. It's cold today, so they are grown indoors. They look like cave goods." Qin Shu introduced the skills of growing strawberries to Chen Xuan.
The waiter brought coffee, and Madam Wen handed Qin Shu a cup, smiling, "I talked to Madam Wei the other day. I knew her English was good, but her Japanese was barely passable, but I didn't know she had this kind of strawberry skill."
"My second sister-in-law's abilities are not just about growing strawberries, and knowing English and Japanese is not the only thing she can do. She wants to be a scholar in the future. I have never seen anyone more determined than my second sister-in-law." Qin Shu was full of admiration for Chen Xuan. This was Qin Shu's advantage. She was carefree by nature, but she always said what she meant. She was neither flattering nor servile. When interacting with others, she lacked the shrewdness and materialism of the young men and women who were dressed in the new style. Of course, it was also true that she was a bit rough-minded.
Madam Wen smiled at Qin Shu and said, "Ah Shu, you are doing well now. I heard that you have started a school for female workers."
"It can't be considered as my business. I just have a small share in it. However, I also help to manage the school and factory. Whenever I have time, I will go over to take a look." Qin Shu was also very happy when talking about his own career. "I was a little distracted a few days ago. I always wanted to go out and play. In the future, I have to put more energy into my career. I want to build my own career like you, Aunt Wen."
Mrs. Wen heard her flattery and pushed a plate of muffins in front of Qin Shu with a smile, listening to her chattering about her career in Beijing.
At this moment, Wei Nian and Chen Xuan were also talking with Rong Yang about expanding the scale of the cosmetics factory and adding equipment.
