……

"Lan Xiang, do you hear some voices coming from somewhere?"

"Mrs. Hui, this voice seems to be coming from the Huxin Pavilion in the back garden."

"Come on, let's go take a look"

"Oh"

Early in the morning, the eldest wife (Hui Yi) came to the back garden to inspect the layout of the birthday banquet after paying her respects from the wife's room (Li Yue), and after the tea was served.

……

……

……

Approaching the edge of the Huxin Pavilion, the eldest wife (Huiyi) saw the second concubine (Yiyi)'s close maid, Juxiang, walking in front of her.

"Ju Xiang, where are you going?"

"Back to the eldest wife, the second aunt said that she will practice her voice today, so she won't go to the side hall for breakfast, let me tell you."

"How did she have the energy to practice her voice today?
"I am cured?"

"Second Aunt, how is she feeling today?

"Is there any trouble for you?"

"Back to the eldest lady, the second aunt is in a good mood today, and she treats me very well. I'm fine now. Thank you, the eldest lady."

"This second sister is really serious. When she wakes up, she doesn't go to greet her mother and offer tea, but she is here to practice her voice. What does she mean?"

At this moment, it turned out that the third concubine (Minxiu) also passed by the back garden, heard the sound of singing, and came to the Huxin Pavilion.

……

……

……

"ho"

The third concubine (Minxiu) coughed, then walked towards the phonograph, walked over, and turned off the phonograph all at once.

"Minxiu, why did you turn off my phonograph?"

"Did you know it would break my phonograph?"

"This is the birthday present my master gave me on my birthday last year. It's very precious."

"Second sister, I know, I just turned it off on purpose."

"You wake up early in the morning and don't eat breakfast, but you don't go to greet your mother and serve tea, but you come here to disturb people's dreams. Unfortunately, my mother was worried about your body yesterday. You are too much .”

"Now everyone in the family is busy, preparing for your mother's birthday, and you don't do anything, just sing and dance there, can you justify it?"

"Minxiu, you're nagging and talking non-stop, it's annoying to death, you remember, I'm the big one, you're the young one, I don't need you to take care of me,"

"Broken my gramophone, be careful and I will make you pay for it."

"Isn't it just a gramophone, do you need to be so nervous, really."

"That's right, that's right, I remembered, for a showgirl like you, the second sister, the gramophone is your livelihood tool, no wonder you are so nervous"

"Enough. Enough, have you two said enough, have you argued enough? Shut up."

"How old are you two? Is it interesting to quarrel endlessly over such a trivial matter and let the maids watch jokes?"

"I don't look at it, and I don't think about who I am. I am making a lot of noise in the public. If it gets to the mother and the master, wouldn't it be."

"I believe you don't want to make mother and master angry, right?"

The second concubine (Yiyi) and the third concubine (Minxiu) fought back and forth, causing the eldest wife (Hui Yi) who was standing beside her to have a headache and anger.

……

... (after a moment)
……

"Ma'am, a man called Yu Zhenhong came to the door. He said he was the younger brother of the second concubine (Yiyi). Butler Song asked him to sit in the hall and let me come and report."

At such an embarrassing moment, the gatekeeper Ding Wangcai ran over and reported to the eldest lady.

"Wangcai, you mean, my brother is here?"

"Back to Second Aunt, yes, that's what Steward Song said, and that's how people call himself."

……

……

……

Venue: Song House (Lobby)

"Zhenhong, you're here. Why are you the only one? Where's your wife? Why didn't she come with you?"

"Sister, long time no see, how are you?"

"I think you are getting better and better. In the Song family, you eat well and dress well."

"Sister, your appearance has not changed for so many years, and you are still so beautiful. It seems that brother-in-law treats you very well."

"Sister, don't mention my wife. She ran away with someone, and now the child is with me. I'm suffering. Otherwise, I wouldn't have come to seek refuge with you."

"how?"

"Didn't I give you a sum of money to do business before?"

"what happened?"

"You lost everything?"

"Hey, sister, don't mention it. When people are in bad luck, they will choke on their saliva, let alone business?" "Anyway, I owe a lot of debts now, and I have children with me. Life is very difficult."

"If it wasn't for thinking about being in Shanghai, and my sister, I'm afraid I'd even have the heart to die. Just thinking about the child is still young, I can't bear it, and I can't let it go."

"How is the child now?"

"Why didn't you bring her with you?"

"Yingzhi, she is waiting for me in the hotel, and I asked the hotel owner to take care of her for me."

"I thought that if the address was wrong and I couldn't find you, it would be better for me to run back and forth alone than two people. After all, she is still young, and I don't want to tire her."

……

... (after a moment)
……

"The eldest lady is here." Maid A announced.

"Master Uncle is here"

"Hello, Mrs." Seeing Mrs. (Hui Yi) approaching, Uncle and Young Master (Zhen Hong) immediately stood up from his seat and nodded respectfully.

"Master Uncle, sit down, sit down, everyone is from our own family, so you don't have to be so polite, just order casually." The eldest wife (Hui Yi) walked slowly to the seat of the host, sat down, and said politely.

"In the past few years, Mrs. Tai has gotten older, and her body has begun to feel a little weak. Many times when guests come to the house, she will rest in the room and don't see guests very much. Don't be surprised, uncle and young master."

(In fact, although the wife Li Yue dotes on the second concubine (Yiyi), she doesn't like such a poor person at all to his younger brother, so she let the eldest wife say this on purpose)
"It's rare for you to come here, and it happens to be Mrs. Tai's birthday in a few days. This time, I will stay for a few more days and go back after drinking the Mrs. Tai's birthday wine."

"Ma'am, I don't want my younger brother to go back when he comes back. There is something wrong with his family, and now he is alone with his daughter. I feel uncomfortable and distressed. I want them to live together. Song family, do you think it's okay?"

"What? Live in the Song family?"

"Well, yes, I am just such a younger brother. Both my parents died when I was young, and our two siblings depend on each other. If I hadn't come to Shanghai and married into the Song family, I would not have abandoned him. This time, I can't do it again." Leave him behind."

"I think if the master is at home now, he will definitely agree with me to do this, and my mother loves me so much, if I speak, I believe it will be all right, what do you think, eldest lady?"

"This is not a trivial matter. Now that the master is not at home, I have to discuss it with my mother first. Your brother will stay here for a few days."

"Thank you ma'am, thank you sister"

"You're welcome, uncle, you can stay here in peace for a few days, and we can talk about everything after the master comes back in a few days."

"Song Butler, go and order your servants to tidy up and arrange a guest room for Uncle and Young Master. See what Uncle Young Master needs, and prepare for it."

"By the way, Steward Song, you should prepare another guest room for the young master's child. The child is a girl after all, so it's inconvenient to live with her father. You can arrange another maid to take care of them."

"Understood the eldest lady, I will give orders and do it right away."

……

... (after a moment)
……

"Brother, then hurry up and bring the child here. I haven't seen her for so many years, but I miss her."

"Oh, sister, then I'll go first, see you later."

"Ma'am, I have nothing to do. I'm going back to my room. I'll have dinner with my brother and the others in my room tonight, so I won't come over."

"go Go."

……

... (afternoon)

……

"The old lady is back. The master is back."

"The old lady is back. The master is back."

"The old lady is back. The master is back."

……

……

……

Following the calls of the eldest lady (Hui Yi) from her maid Lan Xiang, the eldest wife (Hui Yi) who was reading at the desk quickly put down the book in her hand, stood up from the desk, and rushed to the hall.

"Master, you are back." The eldest wife (Hui Yi) looked at the master affectionately.

"Huiyi, I'm back, how is everyone at home?"

"Mom, how are you doing?"

"Have you made arrangements for her birthday?"

"Ruoli, Ruoxian, are you all right?"

……

... (Eldest Wife (Hui Yi) hadn't had time to reply to the Master, at this time, the second concubine also heard the news and came to the hall)

……

"Master, you are coming back"

"I miss you so much. I miss you so much. As the saying goes, if I don't see you for a day, it's like three autumns. Master, I missed you a few days ago, and I thought I was sick. Do you know?"

"Okay, okay, I see, it's only been half a year, I'm back, have I recovered from my illness?"

……

... (While the master and the second concubine (Yiyi) were talking, the third concubine also rushed to the hall)

……

"Master, you are back. The eldest wife and we miss you very much. During the period when you were not at home, Ruoxian missed you every day. Now that you are back, she must be very happy when she comes home from school."

……

... (Just after the master and one wife and two concubines got together and chatted for a while, the master and the eldest wife returned to the room together)
……

... (Here, the content of the chat between the master and one wife and two concubines is omitted.)

……

Venue: Mrs. (Huiyi) Room

"Sir, please drink tea."

"This is?"

"Biluochun?"

"Well yes, your favorite tea"

"Since you went to Hong Kong, I have brewed a pot every day at home. I thought that in case you come back one day, when you want to drink, can't you just drink it?"

"Huiyi, we have been husband and wife for so many years, and you are still so considerate, so caring, and so sincere to me. You are really a good wife for me, Song Yaoguang. It is the greatest blessing in my life to be able to marry you."

"Master, I'm just a little woman. In my heart, you are my husband. My God, you are the whole of my life. For you, I am willing to do anything. Being able to marry you is the greatest thing in my life." happiness."

……

... (Talking and chatting, the two embrace each other, after a while)

……

"I went to Yiyi's place. I heard that she said she was sick today. I want to go and see. By the way, I just heard from you that her brother is coming and wants to live in our house. I'll go over and find out about the situation."

"Then for dinner tonight, will the master dine in the second aunt's room?"

"Well, I'm having dinner at Yiyi's tonight, and you make the kitchen ready."

"Good sir, I'll give orders. Go slowly."

……

……

Location: Second Aunt (Yiyi) Room

The second concubine (Yiyi), the master, the uncle and the uncle's daughter had dinner together in the room, and the uncle took his daughter back to the room to rest in a sensible way.

... (After a short break, Second Aunt Tai Yiyi changes into a charming dance dress)

……

Then, the sound of singing and dancing slowly sounded, and the second concubine (Yiyi) began to show moving dances and sing beautiful songs for the master (Yaoguang).

"Rose is the most beautiful rose
Roses are the most beautiful
Long summer blooms on the branches"

... (dance omitted here)

……

"Okay, it's a really good dance, it's a great dance"

"Yiyi, I didn't expect you to dance besides singing."

"I haven't seen such a pleasing song and dance for a long time."

"Really? Do you mean it, sir?"

"It took me three months to practice. Every day before dawn, I got up and danced to the sound of chickens." "This dance is not easy, it is very difficult."

"In order to make you happy, master, I specially asked the teacher to teach me."

"Now that the children are grown up, and I am not young anymore, I am afraid that you will no longer love and love me, master."

"What nonsense?"

"No matter what, you have been with me for so many years, and you have given birth to me. Even if you are usually spoiled, as long as it is not too much, I will not care about you. In short, I am not at home, you must listen to your mother and Huiyi's. Their words represent my words, do you understand?"

"Don't keep getting in trouble with Huiyi and Minxiu, even if it's for me, you have to get along well with them, you know?"

"Also, it's not easy for the maids. They all have parents and mothers. Don't worry about them all the time. You know, you are the second concubine, not a shrew on the street outside. Don't lose face to the Song family and me, understand? "

"Master, is it true that the eldest lady was in the room just now, and she chewed my tongue again in front of you, telling stories and accusing me of being a pillow?"

"Look at you, what I just said is here again, you have fallen in your ears again, haven't you?"

"Huiyi didn't say anything about you, don't just think about it. She just told me that your brother is here, and she wants to live in the Song family forever."

"Master, my younger brother's business in his hometown is losing money, his wife ran away, and now he is alone with a daughter, living a life of ups and downs. I am really sad to see that, so I want them to live in Song's house, so as to treat them There is a follow-up."

"Master, you also know that my brother and I have both died of parents since we were young, and we depended on each other for life. If I didn't want to earn money and come to Shanghai to be a singer, I would be lucky enough to marry you, Master."

While talking, the second concubine (Yiyi) burst into tears, and lay in the master's arms choked with sobs.

"Okay. Okay, don't cry. Why don't you just have two more people come to live at home, and they're not outsiders. I'll go and talk to Mother and Huiyi."

"You can rest assured that your brother will stay here."

"Master, thank you, thank you so much, my brother lives in the Song family, it is actually a good thing for the master."

"how do I say this?"

"Master, look at my singing and dancing tonight, isn't it wonderful?"

"Yeah, it's pretty good, I really like it."

"Today's song and dance, in fact, the dance music was created by my younger brother when he was in his hometown. I have always kept his dance music. I didn't expect it to be useful today."

"Master, my brother is not only good at choreography, he is also good at keeping accounts."

"There are so many people in the entire Song family, and it's so big. They need help anyway. How about letting her assist the eldest wife and housekeeper Song in managing the daily accounts?"

"With the help of my younger brother, the eldest wife and housekeeper Song won't have to work so hard in the future. In addition, I can learn more new dances and perform them for you, master. How great is that? Are you right?"

"Okay, for the sake of your excellent dance tonight, I'll give you everything."

"I'll talk to my mother and Huiyi to see what position I can arrange for him. You can rest assured about that."

"Thank you sir."

After finishing speaking, the second concubine (Yiyi) kissed the master's face.

Then the two went to bed together.
