At the breakfast table, everyone in the Xi family talked about the declaration of war against Germany.
Fourth Master Xi and Xi Wenqing felt that they must declare war on Germany and the Austro-Hungarian Empire, restore China's thousand-year glory, and take the opportunity to drive out the great powers.
Du Xiaoqin thought: "If we can't win, let's give them some land. We have a lot of land anyway."
Fourth Master Xi: “Woman’s foolish opinion!”
Du Xiaoqin was furious.
She asked Wenlan: "Wenlan, tell me, in this mess right now, few warlords everywhere listen to the cabinet, so why declare war?"
Xi Wenlan didn't know where her opinion came from. She said: "Aren't the Japanese helping us? We are all Asian countries and should help each other."
Fourth Master Xi: "This is drinking poison to quench thirst."
"Dad, you are too extreme. The main writers in the newspaper used to sympathize with the reformists, but now they secretly support the revolutionary party. Their remarks are not credible.
Look at the side of Peiping, it's very close to the Japanese Embassy." Xi Wenlan was justified.
They talked about family and country affairs, but Yun Qiao didn't say a word and drank porridge in silence.
Du Xiaoqin saw that Xi Wenlan and Fourth Master Xi had different opinions, and the father and daughter were about to quarrel, so he took the initiative to pull Yun Qiao in: "Yun Qiao, you are as old as Wen Lan, what do you think my sister said?"
"The only way out is for the government to join the war, declare war on Germany, and drive the Japanese out." Yun Qiao said, and then added, "That's what the newspapers said."
"You know how to pick off people's wits." Du Xiaoqin was displeased.
Fourth Master Xi seemed to have found an ally: "Look, Yun Qiao, who stays at home every day, knows that declaring war on Germany is the only way out.
If we win in the future, we will be allies of Britain, France, Russia, Italy and the United States. From now on, we will no longer have to be bullied by the big powers."
Yun Qiao glanced at Fourth Master Xi.
The idea is really nice, but in reality it is probably not that ideal.
She put down her chopsticks: "I've finished eating."
She went upstairs to get her wallet, and when she went downstairs again, Fourth Master Xi and Xi Wenlan were still discussing the matter, and Yun Qiao went out.
She met students on the street raising funds to urge the government to declare war on Germany.
Yun Qiao gave away all the money in his wallet.
After a pause, she asked the student again: "Do you want some jewelry?"
Several female students looked at her in surprise.
Gold bracelets and necklaces were very eye-catching on Yun Qiao's neck and wrists. Gold jewelry can be easily converted into money. The female student nodded hesitantly.
She took it off and gave it to them.
The female students were overjoyed and kept saying that Yun Qiao was very conscientious and that if the war was victorious in the future, Yun Qiao would have a share of his merits and so on.
Yun Qiao bypassed them and went to the restaurant.
When the waiter saw her plain clothes, he should have been wary. But she was so beautiful, the kind of charm that would make a man willing to spend money for her, so the waiter poured her water respectfully.
She waited in the restaurant for more than an hour before Zhu Yucheng arrived.
There is still an hour left before the time they agreed.
Seeing Yun Qiao, Zhu Yucheng's expression behind his gold-rimmed glasses was as gentle as the spring breeze: "Yun Qiao."
Yun Qiao stood up: "Brother."
"You arrived early?" Zhu Yucheng smiled, "We made an appointment at half past eleven."
"It's boring to be at home, so I go out early." Yun Qiao said.
Zhu Yucheng looked at her carefully, smiling brightly: "You seem to have grown up a lot."
Even more amazing.
She has light makeup and light shades, and her eyes are as full as water.
"By the way, brother has something to ask you." Zhu Yucheng said again before Yun Qiao could answer.
