Chapter 224
At three in the morning,Yang Yuyan returned to Zhu Jia Lou and took a shower in the bathroom.
This point, Zhu family building is much more convenient than Professor Dai’s small red building. When the Zhu family building was built, they paid a lot of money to lay a gas pipeline in their own building, and installed a gas water heater, which allows you to take a shower, and if you want to take a bath, there is also a bathtub!
But only Zhu Yan Shu mother and daughter live in this house, other floors are only the master bedroom. Renters in the time, Zhu Yan Shu was very stingy to the master bedroom are locked, rented out are functional rooms, what study living room type of room.
After the Zhu family mother and daughter three people moved away, they live in this room is also locked, today is Yang Yuyan to come back, Su Chunjun only in advance to open the door, so that Auntie Ma clean up and organize a little.
Fortunately, Auntie Ma has used a gas water heater in the Golden Mansion and knows how to use it. Before using it, she also knows that she should first open the ventilation window above her head, then turn on the gas switch, and then boil the water.
The bedsheets have been replaced with new ones, and a fan with a rotating head is placed in Yang Yuyan’s room, blowing cool air.
When Yang Yuyan came out of the shower and changed into her pajamas, Auntie Ma came in to deliver an iced soda, in a glass cup with a straw.
Auntie Ma was wearing a clean and tidy green and brown striped cotton cheongsam, walking without a sound, and opening the door without a sound. She gently placed the soda on the bedside table and said, “Second Miss, have some soda to cool off. I’ve also cooked some sweetened horseshoes in the kitchen, would you like to have a snack?”
Yang Yuyan put her coiled hair down and said, “Thank you, no need.”
Auntie Ma: “Then if you don’t have anything else, I’ll go out first. If you have anything to ask me later, just pull the bell.”
Yang Yuyan turned her head and saw the bell above her bed. This overly aristocratic contraption had been in a state of limbo before. Zhang Ma lived in the house, just open the door and shout, no need to use the bell.
Now Auntie Ma had redeveloped the function of this thing.
Yang Yuyan hurriedly said, “No no no, I’m a heavy sleeper, I won’t call out at night, just rest well for you.”
Auntie Ma promised, “Good, then I’ll go down first.”
Yang Yuyan called out to her, “Wait a minute, Auntie Ma, can you tell me about Miss Jin?”
Auntie Ma froze for a moment, although it was a bit strange, she didn’t inquire much, she cautiously said, “Miss Jin is served by someone else, I don’t know much about Miss Jin. However, she is a very polite and amiable young lady, and when I was in the Jin family, I never heard her hit or scold anyone.”
What peculiar standards you have for evaluating your hosts.
But associating it with the fact that the Ma family was beaten up before being kicked out, it’s clear that in the Ma family, corporal punishment was probably a common occurrence for the subordinates, so it’s special that Miss Jin never hit or scolded anyone.
At this time, Mr. Su came and knocked on the door, originally it was late at night, it was not appropriate for him to come back in, but he was more than just a fiancé, he was also once Miss Yang’s teacher, and he also knew Miss Yang especially well.
Therefore, he knocked on the door and saw that Second Miss Yang had taken a bath and had no intention of going to bed yet, he purposely came to remind, “Yan Yan, it’s too late, go to sleep first today, if there’s anything, we’ll talk about it tomorrow.”
Yang Yuyan could only obediently go to bed.
Auntie Ma was especially nervous and purposely waited for Teacher Su to leave before she left, and also reminded Second Miss Yang once again at the door to call her if there was anything at night, she would definitely be able to hear her.
Su Chunjun closed the door when he thought, before in the book often see that the mansion door to steal love don’t know how so easy, the red lady alone can steal the lady out of the house, the old lady guarding the door of the old lady? In the middle of the night to take down the bolt of the courtyard door did not move a little?
He has eyes and ears everywhere, not to mention stealing a person, it’s hard to steal a scent.
When he woke up, it was 10:30 in the morning.
Classes, definitely not necessary.
Mr. Su also, in order to take care of his fiancée, is not going to work today either.
When Ms. Yang got up, Auntie Ma had already made breakfast, and the dinner companion was Su Chunjun. Auntie Ma made it in the kitchen downstairs, and Ma Tianbao brought it upstairs, and gave it to Auntie Ma in the doorway, and Auntie Ma set it up in the original dining room of the Zhu family.
Su Chunjun sat in his original seat in the dining room and read the newspaper. He had already eaten, and the milk and bread on the table were for Miss Yang.
Second Miss Yang came out of the house in a daze before Su Chunjun put down the newspaper and called out to her with a smile, ”Up? Wash up and come over for breakfast. There are buns on the fire, want some fried eggs and bacon?”
Returning to her hometown, Yang Yuyan was a bit unresponsive, so she called out to Zhang Ma, “Zhang Ma, I want to drink corn soup.”
There was no Zhang Ma, but there was Auntie Ma. Aunt Ma said, “Okay, second young miss go wash up first, I’ll cook it now, this will be quick.”
Thanks to Mr. Su’s blessing, there are now a lot of canned goods of all kinds in the Zhu Family House, canned ham and canned corn from the United States, a lot of them. About half of America’s fortune from the war is to be counted on these products.
Yang Yuyan was shocked and quickly said no, no, no, she was fine with bread and milk. But she couldn’t stop her. Auntie Ma went downstairs to make corn soup.
Su Chunjun saw Auntie Ma go out and hurried to have a private word with Second Miss Yang.
He said, “Guess, what would Zhang Ma say if she were here?”
Yang Yuyan thought for a moment and mimicked Zhang Ma’s tone, “To make others know how to be polite, but not me, I’m only worthy of being your family’s servant.”
Su Chunjun laughed and slapped his thighs, “Right, that’s the tone!”
Not waiting for him to say a second sentence, Ma Tianbao brought in the small buns he had just taken down from the stove, and two bowls of congee, and stood in the doorway and said, “Second Miss, Mr. Su, these are the buns and congee for breakfast.”
This is the second young miss Yang get up before end down the fire things, specially prepared for her breakfast.
Ma Tianbao’s usual walking already doesn’t look too bad, he put down the buns and congee, Yang Yuyan thanked him and took the initiative to ask him, “Do you still plan to go back to school?”
Probably because she stayed in school for a long time, she had a feeling of thirst for all kinds of talents. Ma Tianbao had gone to college and excelled in his studies, it was too condescending to be an underling here. Outside the company will dislike him bad legs, but the school does not dislike ah, his level, as a literacy class teacher is very qualified, a person can be the language, mathematics, foreign, biology, biology all these classes to open.
Ma Tianbao is of course very tempted, but remembering his father, he was silent again.
Su Chunjun knows that Ma’s father is now counting the days. Some time ago, Ma Auntie and Ma Tianbao wanted to move out and rent another house to wait for Ma’s father to pass away. He stopped them. It’s not peaceful out there now, and if something happens to their family, he won’t be able to explain to the Zhu family’s mother and daughter.
He said to Yang Yuyan: “Uncle Ma’s health is not very convenient right now, let’s wait for a while.”
Yang Yuyan also remembered that Ma Tianbao’s father seemed to have never recovered from the beating, so she quickly apologized and said, “It’s because I was reckless. In this way, when it’s convenient for you in the future, feel free to look for me, our side is in great need of talents like you.”
Ma Tianbao agreed gratefully.
Su Chunjun saw that he came and didn’t leave, replacing Auntie Ma as the guardian here, and sighed in his heart, so he had to just hold one of Second Miss Yang’s buns hostage to eat.
Second Miss Yang also happened to have no time to eat the bun now, she asked Ma Tianbao, “Do you know Miss Jin? What kind of person is she?”
Ma Tianbao was much less cautious than Aunt Ma, and he didn’t see what he couldn’t say about this, not to mention that it was to Mr. Su and Second Miss Yang.
He thought for a moment and said, “I knew Miss Jin when she first came back from England.”
Master Jin had always been childless, and everyone outside scolded him for being too lackadaisical to have a child in his life. However, everyone in the Golden Mansion knew that Master Jin and Mrs. Jin had a daughter who was studying in England.
Ma Tianbao grew up in the Golden Mansion, and the only children in the Golden Mansion were Mrs. Jin’s mother’s family, the young master of the Wang family, Wang Wanchuan.
Sun Zhao was only introduced to the Jin Mansion after college.
Ma Tianbao had only served one young master, Wang Wanchuan, as a child.
Until Miss Jin suddenly returned from England on a ship.
Miss Jin also brought back news that was very unfavorable to her. Of course, this was at the time, Miss Jin herself did not know. Ma Tianbao, on the contrary, knew more or less because he was a subordinate.
Miss Jin came back to Master Jin that Duke Megan died, and Duchess Megan, who raised her as a child, also went back to her hometown in the countryside, and it is unknown whether she can return to London again.
Ma Tianbao remembers very clearly, after Master Jin heard the news, the face of Miss Jin’s enthusiasm is a little less, Mrs. Jin is also not too happy.
When Miss Jin first returned to China, she spoke Chinese very badly. She didn’t like to speak Chinese either, only English. Only the servants who went to England with her could serve her because they were the only ones who understood English and could talk to her. At that time, if Miss Kim wanted a cup of tea, she only needed a special servant to serve her. No other servant in the Golden Mansion dared to come forward to serve her.
But Mrs. Kim soon dismissed all the servants who knew English. Miss Kim was confined to her room, and she could not go out without learning Chinese, and she could not even eat.
So, Miss Kim soon learned Chinese and became more and more fluent.
At that time, Wang Wanchuan and Sun Zhao, who were still good at English, took the initiative to speak Chinese with Miss Jin, and Ma Tianbao, who had outstanding grades, began to learn English and made friends with the three young masters and ladies.
Ask Ma Tianbao to say Miss Jin, and he says, “Miss Jin is a very simple person, a little stubborn.”
Miss Jin is not a soft person and does not like to cry and weep. She had feelings for Master Jin and Mrs. Jin, in the beginning. But later on, the feelings probably became less and less.
Ma Tianbao couldn’t say when. Then that incident happened, and Miss Jin even tried to run back to England through elopement, and he realized that Miss Jin might not want to stay in the Golden Mansion for a long time.
Ma Tianbao made a particularly evocative remark when he said, “I’ve never seen Miss Jin lying on her back and pampering herself in Mrs. Jin’s arms.”
Yang Yuyan, who always hugged and pampered the arms of Ms. Zhu, Yang Yucan, Zhang Ma, and Mr. Su, instantly understood what this meant.
Auntie Ma quickly delivered a smooth and delicious creamy corn soup, made exactly the kind Yang Yuyan wanted to drink.
After she finished drinking it beautifully, Su Chunjun said, “Do you think that woman last night was Miss Jin?”
Yang Yuyan sighed, “It should be her. Alas.”
Last night, that kimono woman didn’t say a word, from beginning to end, she was behind Yamamoto, when Yamamoto stood, she also stood, when Yamamoto sat down, she also sat down, when Yamamoto got up to go, she also hurriedly got up to follow.
But last night, besides Yamamoto, there was no one else to talk to. Mayor Feng didn’t, neither did Su Chunjun, and everyone had to listen to Yamamoto.
Yamamoto went just to once again proclaim Japan’s greatness to Mayor Feng and the others; in his mouth, Japan had already caught up with Britain and surpassed the United States, and none of the European powers were as good as Japan.
The general public may think that Yamamoto this is bragging, but know that later Japan bombed Pearl Harbor Yang Yuyan know, the Japanese is really think so, the more crazy people think so, Japan is really think that they can be comparable to Britain and the United States, he front foot bombing Pearl Harbor, the back foot by the United States to return the two bombs.
Well done.
Two enemies are dogfighting, just be a moral person and watch quietly from the sidelines.
