The second volume is full of glory and splendor in the capital, and the spirit is full of vitality in the foggy city. Chapter 305: Being an Idol
This chapter's subtitle: My Big Star Apprentice
Saturday morning, July 16, 1921.
Our Master Yuan was reading today's newspaper while eating breakfast.
The first headline on the Times he picked up was "Crown Prince of Japan arrived in London yesterday and was personally greeted by the Prince of Wales."
There was also a photo of the two little princes. Both were dressed in full military uniforms, looking... The future Edward VIII looked okay, a bit handsome. However, the future Hirohito looked rather simple and honest.
The most striking thing is the contrast between the two. Prince Di Gong, who is less than 1.6 meters tall, looks like a child next to the Prince of Wales, and the military uniform looks even more ridiculous on him.
Anyway, people are finally here!
"Ding-ling-ling..."
"Boss, your phone."
Well, are the Japanese going to look for me so soon?
Yuan Yan stood up suddenly and answered the phone: "Hello...Qi Sen. It's you."
"What? My sister-in-law wants to treat me to a meal? My sister-in-law is really too polite."
Is this to thank me for my “grace of giving you a new life”?
He thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I don't have anything to do anyway. But... can I bring a female companion?"
"Which female companion of mine? I need to think about it...Anyway, I'll see you tonight."
Guess which female companion our Master Yuan will bring with him?
Hey, do you need to guess?
“Tap, tap, tap.”
Master Yuan, holding a bouquet of flowers, knocked on the door of Prince Residence.
"Hongjian, you come... eh?"
"Qi Sen, I'm here. This is for the hostess." He pressed the bouquet into Xu Zhimo's hand, then pointed to his female companion and said, "You must recognize this person. She's the daughter of Dou Fei Gong, Miss Lin Huiyin."
“…”
The infatuated man and woman looked at each other for a long time without saying a word.
"Hahaha, you two are already grown-ups, why are you still so shy?" Finally, Master Yuan tried to smooth things over and said, "Qi Sen, aren't you going to invite us in?"
Xu Zhimo gave him a very "resentful" look. Instead of inviting them in, he closed the door, dragged Yuan Yan aside , and said in a tearful voice, "Hong, Hong, Hongjian, why did you bring her here?"
Our Master Yuan said disapprovingly, "Why are you panicking? Your sister-in-law doesn't know your relationship with her."
It’s no wonder that Zhang Youyi really didn’t know that her husband’s philandering partner was Lin Huiyin.
“But, but…”
"But, but, but what? You're about to get divorced, what are you afraid of?"
"Qian Sen, why don't you invite the guests in?"
Before Xu Zhimo could reply, Master Yuan said to the room in a familiar voice, "Ah, sister-in-law, Qi Sen wants to have a private conversation with me. We'll be right there."
Then he walked into the room holding Xu Zhimo in one hand and Lin Huiyin in the other.
"Oh my god!"
Seeing Zhang Youyi, Yuan Yan suddenly switched to Northeastern dialect: "Young lady, don't look at me like that for three days. How come you are so beautiful?"
A hundred years later, our classmate Yuan Hongjian is on Zhihu and Kuaishou, enjoying a mixture of elegance and vulgarity.
Of course, if you watch those "face-changing" videos regularly, you will know how terrible the four major evil spells in East Asia are.
In fact, if you look at the small photo, you can find that her nose is not well-shaped. How can a girl look good with a big bulbous nose in the middle of her face?
However, it is too easy to use makeup to adjust the shape of the nose, so at this time, Mrs. Xu has red lips, white teeth, bright eyes and a charming look, and is actually a little more beautiful than Lin Huiyin without makeup.
Yuan Yan first glanced at "my friend Xu Zhimo" and thought to herself that it was no wonder that the kid hadn't mentioned divorce recently. However, this scumbag was also disappointing. In June of the original timeline, he started to divorce his wife, and the dispute lasted until August, and finally resulted in the birth of a second child.
The worst thing Xu Zhimo did was that after he knew his wife was pregnant, he forced her to have an abortion.
Zhang Youyi said, "But I heard someone died from abortion!"
Xu Zhimo replied: "There are people who have died from riding the train. Have you seen people not riding the train anymore?"
So our Master Yuan let his good friend ride the "roller coaster".
He looked at Lin Huiyin again. The expression on her face was a little complicated. She seemed a little unconvinced and a little angry... In short, it was very complicated.
Zhang Youyi said gratefully, "I have to thank Brother Yuan for his guidance."
Then she turned her attention to Lin Huiyin and said, "This is..."
"Oh, let me introduce you. This is my eldest disciple, the daughter of the Minhou Lin family."
Our Master Yuan slapped his forehead and said, "Oh, in terms of seniority, she is still the junior of you and Qia Sen."
He immediately opened his mouth to guide her: "Huiyin, call me auntie."
"Ah, hello, Auntie."
"By the way, your Uncle Xu was talking to me just now, but you forgot to say hello. That's really rude."
"Hello, Uncle Shi."
Is this correct? According to their seniority, this is how the three of them should address each other.
Yuan Yan, who had finally put things right, said enthusiastically, "Sister-in-law, I haven't had local cuisine in a long time. All I've been eating is either Western food with all sorts of raw or cold dishes or bland Cantonese food with simple broths. I've lost my appetite. What delicious dishes did you cook today?"
Zhang Youyi said modestly, "Brother Yuan, there's nothing fancy here. It's just some home-cooked dishes. Sweet and sour pork ribs, eight-treasure duck...it's summer now, so I even got some leftovers."
"Oh my, you're making me drool!"
Master Yuan turned around and looked at Xu Lin and the others and said, "What are you guys still standing for? Come and take your seats!"
Yuan Yanshu was full of praise for this dinner, Xu Zhimo was very uncomfortable, and Lin Huiyin was speechless.
Zhang Youyi, who knew nothing about it, had the rare opportunity to meet Master Yuan, a fellow villager. The two of them ate and talked about local dishes, which helped them to relieve their longing for water shield and sea bass.
In short, both the host and the guests had a great time... Anyway, our Master Yuan thought it was very enjoyable.
"It's getting late, and I still have to take Miss Lin home, so we'll take our leave first. Please stay a while."
Yuan Yanshu took Lin Huiyin into a rented carriage.
He looked at his unhappy female disciple and couldn't help but chuckled, "Huiyin, do you think you're not as pretty as your Aunt Xu, or do you think your Uncle Xu has changed his mind?"
Lin Huiyin smiled bitterly and said, "Sir, did you bring me here just to make me break up with Hamilton?"
"Huiyin, what does it have to do with me whether you two want to break up? Your father supports your freedom of love, so as your master, I have no right to interfere."
Master Yuan said sternly, "I brought you here to stimulate you. Do you want to become the woman who controls your own destiny?"
He didn't wait for Lin Huiyin to answer and continued, "If you want to, then cheer up for your teacher!"
He took out a book called "The Four Great Evil Arts: Makeup" and said, "Please study this book carefully for the next few days."
He took out a few more sheets of paper and said, "Memorize these thoroughly and rehearse them carefully."
"In the next two days, I will take you to make an evening gown and a set of custom jewelry."
"Huiyin, as long as you perform well this time, don't worry about being called the most beautiful woman in China or the most talented woman in the Republic of China..."
"You will become an idol for women all over China... and even the world!"
