Chapter 132 The Ring

Yi Huan coaxed Piao Ran and asked her to play with the other children. The other three wives also came. The guests had arrived. Zeng Shaowei suggested playing mahjong, "Huanhuan is not allowed to go to the table."

"Why?" Yi Huan was puzzled.

"You are so lucky. I can't win when playing cards with you." Zeng Shaowei said hummingly.

"It seems that if you don't fight Huanhuan, you can win." Zheng Yuhong curled his lips.

Zeng Shaowei laughed, "At least I didn't lose that badly."

"Okay, I won't fight." Yi Huan said with a smile.

The people playing cards at the card table were Zeng Shaowei, Zhuang Yingqing, Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Wu, and Yi Huan sat aside to have tea and chat. At this time, Wei Meiyu saw that Yi Huan was not wearing a ring, and her eyes flashed, deliberately tilting her head, revealing the diamond ring on the ring finger of her left hand. Mrs. Wang, who was sitting next to her, saw it and asked with a smile: "Miss Wei, is there three carats of diamonds on your ring?"

"Absolutely." Wei Meiyu reached out to look at it, "A woman's wardrobe will always be missing one piece of clothing, and a piece of decoration will always be missing in the decorative box. Hey, Miss Yi, you don't wear a ring?"

"I don't like wearing rings." Yi Huan smiled.

"Miss Yi, this is not something you like or not. The ring is given a love ornament. Wearing the ring on your finger is a symbol of your emotional state. You are engaged, did Captain Yan not give you a ring? This is too inappropriate." Wei Meiyu said with a smile, thinking that Yan Zihui and Yi Huan's relationship is not as good as it looks, otherwise why not wear an engagement ring?

"The engagement ring is placed in the decorative box at home." Yi Huan did not notice Wei Meiyu's intention and answered truthfully.

"Then let's wear it out and let's see. You have nothing on your hands. If you don't know, you think Miss Yi is not engaged and doesn't want to admit this marriage." Wei Meiyu smiled.

This sentence made Yi Huan feel a little unhappy, "According to Miss Wei, Miss Wei is married, I don't know which family you married? Since you are married, you can't continue to call you Miss Wei. I don't know what we should call you? I don't know which wife you are?"

"Miss Yi, what are you saying? I'm still waiting for the word "I'm still in the boudoir." Wei Meiyu pretended to be shy and said.

"Ms. Wei just said that the ring is given an emotional ornament. Wearing the ring on the finger is a symbol of the state of emotion. I thought that Miss Wei knew that wearing the ring on the left ring finger means that she was married." Yi Huan fought back.

Wei Meiyu choked and almost wanted to take off the ring on her fingers. She stuttered her lips and said, "I just wear it just like a good-looking one."

Yi Huan laughed and took a sip of tea, "So, whether to wear a ring or not is a personal preference, it doesn't have that symbolic meaning."

"Yes, yes." Wei Meiyu smiled awkwardly.

The ring is over, but Wei Meiyu made up his mind to confirm that Yi Huan and Yan Zihui were false and kept spying on the words. Yi Huan was not a fool. He didn't realize it once or twice, but felt it three or four times. It turned out that Wei Meiyu had fallen in love with Yan Zihui and wanted to steal someone from her!

Zheng Yuhong also saw it and pulled Yi Huan to the side and said, "Huanhuan, this Wei Meiyu has bad intentions, don't pay attention to her."

Yi Huan nodded to show that he knew.

After afternoon tea, the car that came to pick them up came and each said goodbye to go home. In the car, Yi Piaoran said to Yi Huan: "Auntie, I don't like that Aren, I don't want to be his little wife."

"Whose little wife Piaoran wants to be?" Yi Huan asked with a hint of smile.

Yi Piaoran slapped his little slap and said, "I want to be my uncle's little wife."

"Ah!" Yi Huan was stunned, "No, your uncle's wife is your aunt, I, please change someone."

Yi Piaoran pouted, "Those people are not as good-looking as their uncle."

Yi Huan laughed silently, "Piaoran, you are not a pity that you are my aunt's baby niece!" She is a face-controlling like her.

Yi Huan's life was comfortable, and Yan Yuzhi became a mess. She gave Yi Huan eye drops in front of Mrs. Yan Zi was unable to teach her niece a lesson in her own way, so she went to find Yan Zikang. Yan Zikang handed over the matter of restraining her daughter to 6 Shiyin. 6 Shiyin said Yan Yuzhi and drove her back to her in-laws' house to reflect. It happened that Wu's mother was old and sick and bedridden. Yan Yuzhi, a daughter-in-law, had to serve her, and she lived for several months.

During the Chinese New Year, Wu's mother recovered from her illness. Yan Yuzhi returned to her parents' home to pay New Year's greetings, and was about to find Yi Huan's bad luck. When she found out that Ruan Wenwen was pregnant with Wu Liming's child, Yan Yuzhi was blown up.

"Wu Liming, how can you be worthy of me?" Yan Yuzhi asked.

Wu Liming didn't expect that Ruan Wenwen just happened to meet him. After saying a few words, Yan Yuzhi grabbed him and shook him away, "Yuzhi, listen to me, I have nothing to do with her."

"She has nothing to do with you, is the child in her belly has nothing to do with you?" Yan Yuzhi could hear it clearly.

Wu Liming was about to say it was okay, but Ruan Wenwen touched his stomach and looked at him with tears in his eyes, saying in a sweet voice: "Zhide, my son moved, he kicked me."

Yan Yuzhi was very angry, but she had no intention of divorce. Wu's mother was not happy for two or three years. If the Yan family had not been pregnant, she would have let Wu Liming divorce her wife. In the Yan family, it was a bit inappropriate because Yan Yuzhi had never been pregnant, not to mention that men had three wives and four concubines. It is normal for men to have three wives and four concubines. Yan Governor Yan and Yan Zikang were both people with concubines. Although they were angry, they could not stop their grandson-in-law (son-in-law) from taking concubines. Besides, the woman was pregnant and it was unreasonable to not let her enter.

Taking a concubine is not about marrying a wife, so there is no need to pay attention to it. On March 7th, on the third day of the second lunar month, Ruan Wenwen entered the Wu family's gate, presented tea to Yan Yuzhi, and became Wu Liming's second wife's concubine. After Yi Huan learned about this from others, she did not give any comments. It's like the spring breeze passed by, so forget it if you heard it.

The next day was the International Women's Day. Fortunately, Mrs. Yan came forward and led the wives of the senior officials to visit the orphans in the nursery, and sent some food and cloth. The government organized a celebration meeting to the south. The huge parade passed through the streets and attracted a wave of attention.

"Hey, father and mother, look, those aunts are not wearing clothes." The little boy watching the fun pointed to the popular team and said.

When the woman looked, she covered her son's eyes and called her husband, "Close your eyes."

The dozen naked women in the parade attracted the scolding of the onlookers: "It's unfair."

“It’s indifferent.”

"Unbeatable."

The one walking in the front was a famous prostitute in the south. She waved colorful flags and shouted slogans, "Long live the liberation of Chinese women!"

"Long live the liberation of Chinese women!" The naked woman behind her shouted.

This parade is for breast tightening. Although the west wind is rising east, the Chinese women are not less restricted than the previous dynasty, and only the foreign women do not use breast tightening. But just put their breasts on, there is no need to run naked in public.

Yi Huan felt that the revolutionary parties in the south had made this paranoid movement too much and was "depressed."

Wei Meiyu said righteously: "Ms. Yi, you have been studying abroad, why are you still so old-fashioned and feudal? Calling for women to liberation is a great thing for women."

"No one is walking naked on the street abroad." Yi Huan didn't expect to come to Su Jiayi's house and meet Wei Meiyu again. If she knew she was here, Yi Huan would not come. "Breast binding and foot binding are persecutions against women. We should firmly resist, but this method should not be used."

"What method should Miss Yi think?" Wei Meiyu asked.

"Step by step." Yi Huan was unwilling to discuss this issue with Wei Meiyu, so he threw out a mahjong card, "Ninety thousand."

The "Tremella Movement" was very upset in the south, but there was not much movement in the north. The restless Wei Meiyu felt that this was an opportunity to reflect her and urged Su Jiayi to jointly open an underwear factory. "Now that women are liberation, they can be put on their breasts. If they don't wear Western underwear, it will be embarrassing for women to go out. Jiayi, this is a good business, believe me."

Su Jiayi acted cautiously, and after getting along with everyone, she felt that Yi Huan could do all three businesses so well, and she must be a person with vision. If so, she came to ask Yi Huan for her opinion. Yi Huan voted against it, "Business is a good business, but if it doesn't work in the north, it will be denied as a detriment. Maybe one day the factory will be sealed off. If you really want to open an underwear factory, then go to the south, produce it there, and sell it there, and wait for the north to accept it before you can sell the underwear to the north."

Jizhou City is so peaceful, Su Jiayi finally took her son to her side, and she didn't want to go to the south. She rejected Wei Meiyu's proposal. Wei Meiyu knew that Yi Huan was interfering, so she didn't let Su Jiayi go with her. She chose a place to build a factory and insisted on building an underwear factory to make Yi Huan look at him with admiration.

The riots in Ning Province were finally suppressed in mid-March. Yes, it was suppression and bloody suppression. So Yan Zihui, who was just touted as the hope of China in the newspaper, was criticized. The newspaper published: "The head of the brutal warlord shot and killed progressive people", "The regression of human civilization, warlords are cruel and unkind", "How different is the beast at this point?" Yan Zihui's reputation became bad.

Li Ying read the newspaper and said, "How could Xuanling order the shooting? She also arrested so many people."

"We should use heavy rituals in troubled times." Yi Huan said calmly. The government's policies are obviously very good, but the revolutionaries are still urging to cause trouble. In her opinion, those people are just doing things to fight for power and profit under the guise of democracy, and are not really seeking welfare for the people.

"Will Governor Yan seal these newspapers?" Tang Shuangyun asked.

"It should be sealed, what is this written in a mess." Yi's mother protected her shortcomings. Even if her son-in-law did something wrong, she would not tolerate anyone else slandering her, saying that her son-in-law was reincarnated by an evil ghost and had a green face and fangs. Oh, with her son-in-law's appearance, there is no handsome man in Jizhou City.

Governor Yan did want these random newspapers to seal them up, but remembered that Yan Zihui once said, "It is better to lose money than to block them. The more they don't let them report, the more they want to report. If one news becomes old news, they have to create another big news."

Governor Yan believed the words of Yan Zihui the most. Although his son was not by his side now, he immediately summoned his aides to find a way. The newspaper was still waiting for Governor Yan to arrest and seal the society, but there was no movement at all. The newspaper was a little confused, but the wording was much better when reporting on the riot in Ningsheng, and he did not criticize Yan Zihui again.

"They can't be allowed to report on the riots in Ning Province again." Governor Yan was still dissatisfied.

"The Governor, it will be the 30th birthday of the last emperor of the previous dynasty in ten days. Do you think he will do it?" an aide suggested.

Governor Yan's eyes lit up, "Good idea, go and send 10,000 yuan to Qingyuan to let them take care of it." After the last emperor abdicated, he originally lived in the palace, but Governor Zhang drove the people out before. Later, Yan's army occupied Jizhou City, and the last emperor could not move back to live.

On March 16th, the 12th day of the second lunar month, the weather was sunny and the spring was bright. The Qingyuan was decorated with lights. Early in the morning, the last emperor put on a dragon robe and led his concubine to the yard. The altar and three animals were placed in the yard. After all, he was the emperor who had retreated. He could not go to the Temple of Heaven and Earth, so he could only sacrifice in the yard.

"The emperor is so energetic today." The butler of Qingyuan praised with a smile.

The last emperor was in a good mood and said with a smile: "I'm working hard."

"As a lord of the Qing Dynasty, I should do my best for the emperor." said the butler.

At around ten o'clock in the morning, many old and young people came to Qingyuan and kowtowed, "Long live my emperor! I wish the emperor a thousand years, and I wish my Qing Dynasty eternal prosperity!"

The corner of the mouth of the last emperor, who was sitting next to the last emperor, was twitched. It disappeared early in the morning and was still forever. Where could it go? But she would not say this disappointing thing.

"Everyone is flat!" The last emperor supported his hands with a smile on his face.

After a quarter of an hour, Yan Zisi came with his wife and children. Then consular officials and family members from various countries also came to congratulate him. The last emperor smiled happily and said generously: "Look at the reward."

All those who came to celebrate their birthday were rewarded with a large reward, a birthday banquet at noon and a birthday party in the afternoon. The newspaper reported this matter extensively, which made the ignorant of the matter think that Governor Yan was going to restore the dynasty. In addition to the last emperor's birthday festival, there were other things that finally made the riots in Ningsheng fade, and there were no longer any discussions on the streets and alleys.

Ten days passed in a blink of an eye. On the 20th day of the second lunar month, Yi Huan's birthday, Yan Zihui was unable to come back. However, in the early morning, she received the birthday gift that Yan Zihui ordered for her earlier. A bracelet with turbulent oil diamonds, the diamonds were shining brightly, and it was obvious that it was not an ordinary product.

"Miss Yi, the turret diamonds on this bracelet are all very good. They were selected by our shopkeeper personally. If it weren't for Young Master Yan Qi personally, our shopkeeper wouldn't have planned to release them." The guy from Xinyuan Yinlou said with a smile.
