After Huang Weitian became pregnant, she became the focus of Chen and Huang's family. She had always loved to be cute, but now she was even more unscrupulous. Li Shaoyong had already become the next sentence at home. Since Huang Weitian had a child, she had not gone to the card games for those social gatherings and dinners. She surrounded Huang Weitian every day, and even Huang Weitian was afraid that her feet would be sore when she was walking in the yard.
Chen Yiyu had experience having a baby, so he told Li Shaoyong: "It's okay to walk smoothly, don't worry too much."
Li Shaoyong said: "Jiahe, I have only the first child when I am over 30 years old, and I can't control my mood."
Huang Weitian ate fruit while eating, saying, "Jiahe has experience, listen to her right." After that, she told Chen Yiyan that she wanted to eat the beef made by her own hands. Chen Yiyan naturally agreed and washed her hands and changed clothes to cook for her.
Huang Weitian took a bite and said, "It still tastes like this for so many years." The eldest lady nodded from the side and said, "I have never abandoned this craft."
After the few people had dinner, Chen Yiyu led the young lady to take a walk in Bailou Garden. At this time, the earliest blooming beauty in Bailou Garden had already had flower buds, and it looked thick red and green, very beautiful.
As soon as they got off the bus, they could see a few foreigners standing by the park. They were holding the drawings and gestured at the Bailou Garden. They were obviously imagining how grand and magnificent the building built here would be in the future.
It has been a while since Chen Yi-chan sold this land to Gu Fancheng. Through her relationship, my second brother happily loaned the money to Gu Fancheng, but Gu Fancheng's land is now mortgaged to the central bank. Zhang Shaobai also laughed and said, "No matter how you calculate it, you can't even calculate the banker."
After getting the money, Gu Fancheng started to look for German foreign companies to measure land and do architectural design. Although Gu Fancheng is a big man, he also knows that the houses built by Germans are good, Americans have good toilets, and French crystal lamps. He has ambitions for this place, so the things are bought according to the best at that time.
The eldest lady said, "Is that the piece of land you once said in the letter?"
Chen Yiyan nodded, led her to the garden, and pointed to the four-story white building, saying, "I have sold this land, leaving only the white villa and the small garden in front. I expect to sell Western goods and foreign books in that building, sell Western glass stockings, soap, pens and other things that I need most in daily life."
The eldest lady said lightly: "You always like this. You like to make these trivial little money. The 'food corner' I opened in Conton back then earned thousands of pounds a year, which is not enough to worry! Now that you are starting to sell these things again, do you really think of yourself as a small vendor? If you invest money in US stocks, you will earn much more than you are now, and it is much easier. Why do you have to be so troublesome?"
Chen Yiyan naturally knew that making money with a penny was not as fast as land speculation or stock speculation. Especially she also knew the direction of some famous stocks, and it was easier to make money. However, whether she runs a medical school or is preparing to sell Western books and daily necessities, it was just because she knew the turmoil in the next twenty years and made some preparations for the future.
Chen Yiyan said: "Actually, I don't want to make money. Selling Western books and things here is just to provide a more convenient and cheaper channel for the literati and people in Pingcheng." She couldn't explain so much to the eldest lady, so she could only say this simply.
Based on the eldest lady's personality, after hearing Chen Yiyan's words, she naturally said to her: "Bored."
Chen Yiyan smiled and led the young lady into the villa in Bailou. She said, "I have even thought of my name, and it is called 'Fansen Western Department Store'."
The eldest lady obviously looked like she accompanied Chen Yiyan to visit her industry. She just walked around and looked around without commenting too much. Chen Yiyan said to her: "I want to sell Western department stores, but I have to let your housekeeper worry about me. When I turn around, I will make a list of what I want, and I will ask you to help me with more care."
The eldest lady snorted, not paying attention to her, obviously she didn't like such a little bit of so-called 'business'. She said, "You can discuss it with him yourself."
Chen Yiyan led her to the fourth floor and said, "I expect to open a Western bookstore here, but in fact, I sell books not for the public, but for a few literati who can understand foreign languages. I hope they can translate some wonderful Western books and spread them to the country, so that they can read them to more ordinary people in the future so that they can also have channels to understand abroad."
She also said: "Last year I bought a small publishing house, and now I only have four exquisite sets of replica ancient books. If my vision can be realized, this publishing house will publish excellent translated books."
When the eldest lady heard her say these words, she suddenly said, "Chris, I only realized today how much you love your country."
Chen Yiqian: "When I was at home, I didn't understand what I mean by living here every day. Only when I was bullied in foreign countries can I understand the meaning of the country. It's just that my country is now in such a state, with constant civil strife. What kind of national sovereignty is talking about? And I am just a small person and cannot save the world. I just do my best."
Chen Yiyan smiled and said, "I love this land, the culture here, and the relatives and friends here, but after all, I am a selfish person, and I only love everything I love."
The eldest lady said, "I really didn't expect to hear you say such sensational and toothless words one day. It's so boring." She turned around here and walked around, through the Western retro window lattice, she looked at the white building garden outside, and said, "But you hope for such a boring thing, and I will help you."
She looked at Chen Yi-chan and said, "Who let fate let me live in your dormitory that year? Even I can't get rid of God's arrangements, right?"
Chen Yi-chan said: "Actually, I think the two luckiest things in my life are that I met Mr. Huang in the most difficult time and got his help to attend Condon University. The second thing is that I met you and became friends with you when Condon University. These two things make me feel that I will be my lifelong wealth."
The eldest lady turned her face over and hummed twice and said, "Don't please me, I'll eat the chicken shredded noodles you made for Vivian the day before yesterday."
Chen Yiyan naturally said okay, leading the young lady down from the white villa. She pointed to a low house on the east side and introduced to her that she had sent someone to buy that house and was preparing to build another beautiful garden when it was connected in the future, making it a place for the people of Pingcheng to take a walk and romantic things happen.
The eldest lady listened to her describing her dreams. Sometimes she opened her mouth to evaluate her dreams. Sometimes she was silent. Sometimes she would hear her praise Chen Yiyan seriously. Chen Yiyan teased her and said, "It's rare to hear you praise me."
The eldest lady said, "It's rare that you have something to praise." She raised her chin and looked very noble.

Since Wang Shouyun went to the garrison, the eldest lady took over Chen Yiyan's bed openly and commented on Song Dinghai: "This general did something extremely right, and men should defend their country." What should we do with her Chris!
In the evening, the two of them changed their pajamas and lay on the bed. The eldest lady suddenly asked her: "Chris, when will you go back to Shaffer?"
Chen Yiyan thought for a while and said, "I'm afraid there will be no chance to live for a long time in a short period of time. After all, my relatives are all here."
The eldest lady was silent for a moment and said, "But your country is too turbulent and very unsafe."
Chen Yi-yong also knew, but she knew that Pingcheng was relatively safe. She deliberately said: "This time you led me to visit Ambassador Schaffer and the General Office of the Works Department. Under the care of Miss Bielson, no one would bully me."
He also said: "I know that the boring social engagements you have attended during this period, including Mrs. Song's party, are all for me, and I know them in my heart."
The eldest lady said: "Don't put gilds on my face. I participated in these social engagements for myself. After all, she is also the future queen's wife of your country."
Chen Yiyan said: "Yes, yes, you will beg her to help you expand the influence of Duke Baierson through half an ocean."
The eldest lady was so angry that she turned her back to her and hummed. Chen Yiqiu hugged her waist from behind and said, "Okay, I won't say it anymore. I promise you will definitely attend the wedding, okay?"
The eldest lady was comforted for a moment, and then she said reluctantly: "I have to stay for a while."
Chen Yi-chan said: "At that time, we will still lie together like we are now, as long as the future Mr. Bielson does not protest."
Chen Yi-chan talked to her about her fiancé Earl Andrew Brann again. They rarely talked about him. The eldest lady said, "A big bear, what's there to talk about?"
Chen Yiyan said: "Mr. Big Bear, who only has you in his heart, I still remember how he was waiting at the gate of the college to send you flowers."
The eldest lady probably thought of the situation at that time, and her lips curled up unconsciously. Then she snorted a few times with Chen Yiyu. The two of them started to talk about the matter between Mr. Big Bear and the eldest lady one after another.
But in fact, everyone knows that the time for parting is coming again.
Knowing that the eldest lady was leaving, Huang Weitian burst into tears. Li Shaoyong was so scared that he kept coaxing her, afraid that the pregnant woman would be sad and not good for her health. Huang Weitian thrust and said, "Can't you live for a longer time?"
The eldest lady said: "Pregnancy is just to make multiple children in your belly. Why does it seem like your tear glands are broken?"
Huang Weitian said with a striking remark: "I want to be a mother, so I naturally become sentimental."
The two of them started to argue again, diluting the sorrow of separation.
Chen Yiyan silently prepared things for the young lady to leave. When the young lady came, more than a dozen servants from the Baierson family came with boxes, and when they left, they brought more boxes and gifts.
The young lady frowned and said, "No matter how large the space in the higher cabin is, it cannot accommodate the things from half of the Pingcheng."
Chen Yi-chan said: "There are not only gifts for you, but also for the Duke and the Lady, and for you to give me the gifts to Mrs. Cavendish and the Minister, as well as to Seid and Albert."
The eldest lady waved her hand and said to the servant, "Then move it into the luggage compartment."
Chen Yi-yong laughed and reminded her that there was a pair of beautiful vases from the front dynasty for Minister Cavendish, a set of snuff bottles for the Duke, and a jewelry for the enamel and filigree for the Duke, as well as a beeswax bracelet for the Duchess. She said a lot, and finally she hugged the eldest lady and said, "My dear Susanna, there is no words to express the joy you can come to Pingcheng. You are leaving, and I don't know what to say to express my sadness."
The eldest lady's height is about the same as Chen Yi-chan, and she has always adhered to the noble demeanor. She was very straight when she stood lying. However, when Chen Yi-chan hugged her, the eldest lady slowly put her slightly raised chin on Chen Yi-chan's shoulder and said, "I don't know when the next meeting will be."
Chen Yiqian said: "Farewell is for better reunion. When we gather, we cherish the happy time and put away our sorrows when we part. My dear, I will go back to see you soon."
The eldest lady said: "Although you haven't written for a long time, don't comfort me with such boring words to show to housewives, I don't need it."
Chen Yiyan smiled and said, "If I cry like Vivian, can you still leave?" He said to her again, "All the way is good, my Susanna."
The young lady half-hung her head and said softly "Yeah".
Chen Yiyan held up her head and saw the water in Susanna's eyes. She fell on her forehead, but she didn't let her tears flow down. She just promised to go back to see her next year. When Susanna was about to fall, she dipped her handkerchief into her eyelashes. Tears in the street are not in her dictionary.
She said, "I'm waiting for you in Shaffer." Then she straightened her back and returned to the same proud lady as before, and slowly walked onto the boat.
