After a while, the door of the courtyard opened, and a kind-looking old man stood at the door and said, "Miss, where have you been again? Just now, the old man was looking for you."
"I went to the next town to have a party with some friends." Miss Wang said, "what's the matter with dad?"
"It's not about your fiance."
"What fiance, I don't know!" Miss Wang said impatiently, "I'm going to study abroad soon, so I don't want to get married!"
"Ah, after you get married, you can also study abroad. Miss, your fiance also came back from abroad..."
"If you don't listen, after you get married, you must have children and take care of them. I don't want that." Miss Wang waved her hand and said.
"You'd better tell the master about it, miss." The housekeeper says helplessly.
"Hum, my father loves me so much. If I don't marry, he won't force me." Miss Wang said, "Oh, by the way, I found a man by the river just now. Please ask someone to carry him in quickly."
Miss Wang pointed to the man at the door and said.
The housekeeper noticed that there was a man lying on the ground. He looked puzzled and said, "Miss, what do you mean to find a man by the river?"
"Ah, he drifted down from the upstream. We can't wait to see if we can't help him. Let's carry him in and call a doctor to have a good look." Said Miss Wang.
The housekeeper hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "OK, I'll call someone now. Miss, you'd better go to the master's side."
"All right, all right, I'm going."
After that, the man went into the yard and looked up at Miss Wang.
She went straight to her father's study, stood outside the study, knocked on the door and said, "Dad, I'm back."
"Come in." A majestic voice came from the room.
Miss Wang came into the room. A man with a national face and a beard was sitting at his desk reading. When he saw his daughter coming in, the man put down his book and said, "Xi'er, where have you been?"
"To the next town."
"With those poor students again?" The man said with a frown.
"Dad, what do you say? What is a poor student? They are all aspiring youths. They plan to go to Peiping together in a few days to join the strike movement."
"Nonsense!" The man patted the desk and said, "you students, what do you know! There's a strike. It's a strike. What you eat is what you use! "
"Nonsense, what nonsense!" Wang Xi said: "we are defending our rights! It is no longer feudal society. Everyone has his own rights! "
"If you put it in the past, you should..."
"The one who's going to be beheaded." Wang Xi turned his lips and said, "Dad, it's over in the early morning. Now it's the Republic of China! You have to put down your old and pedantic ideas and keep up with the new era
The man sighed, waved his hand and said, "forget it, I can't say you. I didn't ask you to come here to discuss it
"Well, there's nothing else. I'll go first." Wang Xi said.
"Stop!" The man said, "I haven't finished my words. What do you do when you leave in such a hurry?"
"I'm not..." Wang Xi's eyes wandered twice and said, "I've met a new friend."
In fact, Wang Xi wants to go to the guest room and meet the man she picked up.
"I don't care about your new friends, old friends. In two days, your fiance will come and get engaged with you. Then you will follow him to Shanghai. " Said the man.
Wang Xi a listen, immediately fried hair, loudly said: "what!!? Why didn't you tell me about it earlier? "
"I've already told you. You've never heard a word of it."
"No, I won't go!" Wang Xi said.
"It's not up to you!"
"Anyway, if I don't go, I won't marry that man." Wang Xi opened his eyes and said, "if you force me, I'll run away from home right away!"
"You, you unfilial son! Great treason, great treason
"I'm just looking for my own freedom! Arranged marriage was originally an old custom of the feudal period and should have been abolished long ago. " Wang Xi said: "in a word, I won't marry him. If that man comes at that time, you can just find a yellow flower girl in our town who is willing to go to Shanghai to enjoy her happiness and marry her."
"Anyway, that man also wants to have a relationship with the Wang family. It's the same for everyone who marries him."
The man's face was blue and green, but he thought of his daughter's character. He could only temporarily restrain his anger and waved his hand and said, "you go."
Wang Xi thought he had convinced his father and left the study with a smile on his face.At this time, the housekeeper came up to Wang Xi and said, "Miss, the man wakes up."
"Wake up? Let's go. Take me to see him now. " Wang Xi said excitedly.
Under the leadership of the housekeeper, Wang Xi came to the guest room.
At the door of the guest room, a doctor just came out. Wang Xi came up and asked, "how is he?"
"Nothing. I'm just a little weak. Just take a few days off." Said the doctor.
"Oh."
Wang Xi walked into the room and saw the man sitting on the bed, his eyes full of dazed looking at the surrounding environment.
After a little hesitation, Wang Xi knocked on the door and said, "may I come in?"
The man looked at the door. When he saw Wang Xi, his face was shocked, as if he had seen something incredible.
"Well, may I come in?" Wang Xi said again.
The man just slightly recovered, nodded and said, "come in."
Wang Xi quickly walked into the room, looked at the man and said, "Hello, my name is Wang Xi. What's your name?"
After a little hesitation, the man said, "my name is Yunhao."
"Yunhao?" Wang Xi muttered the name again, and thought it was quite nice. At least she had not met a few people surnamed Yun.
"By the way, where are you from? Why do you come all the way down from the river? I'll tell you. Fortunately, you were saved by the people in our town. If you continue to drift down for a few kilometers, there is a big waterfall over there. If you fall down, you will die." Wang Xi said.
"Thank you." Yun Hao said, "I am Shencheng people. "
"Shencheng? Wow, that's a long way off. "
"Miss Wang, please tell me something."
"Well, you say."
Yun Hao hesitated and asked, "where is this place?"
"Here, Qinghe County."
"Qinghe County Is it Wangjia town in Qinghe County? "
"Yes."
"Now, what year, what month, what day?"
"Now? May 7, 1919. " Wang Xi said.
