Sun Yonghao stuck his head out of the cab of the car and rushed out of the station shouting: "Sir, big brother, this way!"
Sun Yongzhen walked over quickly carrying a big box and scolded: "Are you itchy? You didn't even come to the station to pick me up, you just sat in the car like a young master!"
Sun Yonghao helped stuff the luggage into the trunk and explained with a smile: "Well, I have to guard the car to prevent it from being damaged."
"Where's the driver, Lao Chen?" Sun Yongzhen asked.
Sun Yonghao explained: "Old Chen went home to attend the funeral. His father passed away two days ago."
Zhou Hexuan came over with Vivien Leigh on his arm and said with a smile: "Okay, Yongzhen, stop scolding your brother. Yonghao, this is Miss Vivien Leigh."
Sun Yonghao had discovered Vivien Leigh's existence long ago and was so shocked that he did not dare to look directly at her. At this time, after hearing Zhou Hexuan's introduction, he quickly nodded and bowed to greet: "Hello, madam!"
Vivien Leigh understood the word "good", smiled and said in broken Chinese: "Hello."
Sun Yonghao hurriedly opened the car door, thinking: This foreign woman is so beautiful, she looks like a fairy. No wonder the ladies at home are angry.
Zhou Hexuan helped Vivien Leigh get into the car and asked casually: "Yonghao, are you okay at home?"
"It's all good. The two ladies are about to give birth. They are just waiting for the husband to come back," Sun Yonghao reminded in a low voice, "Sir, the ladies seem to be unhappy. They already know about the foreign wife."
Zhou Hexuan had a headache, so he waved his hand and said, "Let's drive."
"What's wrong?" Vivien Leigh asked with concern when she saw that his face was not good-looking.
"It's nothing," Zhou Hexuan forced out a smile and said, "I will take you home to meet some sisters. If you can't get along, I will arrange a place for you alone."
"That's good." Vivien Leigh had already thought so. She was not willing to "be dependent on others."
The car returned to Sanletang smoothly, and Xiao Lingjun was playing in the garden wearing a cotton-padded jacket. When she saw Zhou Hexuan, she was stunned for a moment, and then swooped over: "Dad, Dad, you are back!"
Zhou Hexuan happily picked up his daughter, kissed her little face, and said with a smile: "Did you miss Dad?"
"I think, I miss my dad so much," Xiao Lingjun said aggrievedly while lying in Zhou Hexuan's arms. "Mom misses you too. She often looks at your photos. Why did dad go away for so long?"
Hearing what his daughter said, Zhou Hexuan suddenly felt very guilty and replied awkwardly: "Dad was working outside, and he came back when he was done. He also brought a gift to Xiao Lingjun."
"Really?" Children are like this. When they hear the gift, they forget everything and ask excitedly, "Dad, where is the gift? I want to see the gift!"
"Let's go into the house and take a look," Zhou Hexuan introduced, "Lingjun, this is Aunt Vivian."
Xiao Lingjun looked at Vivien Leigh with wide eyes and suddenly said: "This aunt is so beautiful."
Zhou Hexuan smiled and said: "Mary, Lingjun is praising you for your beauty."
The moment Vivien Leigh saw Xiao Lingjun, she felt sour in her heart. This was a normal reaction for a mistress to meet her first wife's children. Now after hearing what Zhou Hexuan said, Vivien Leigh felt a little better and said hello with a smile: "Hello,
Little girl, you are also very beautiful."
Xiao Lingjun didn't understand English, so Zhou Hexuan translated: "Lingjun, aunt is praising you for being beautiful. What should you say instead?"
"Thank you, auntie." Xiao Lingjun said in a childlike voice.
Vivien Li understood this sentence in Chinese and nodded towards Xiao Lingjun with a smile.
Zhou Hexuan walked inside with his daughter in his arms and asked, "Lingjun, where are the mother and aunts?"
Xiao Lingjun answered clearly and logically: "My mother is studying opera with her master in Peking, and my mother (Zhang Leyi) works at a broadcasting company. Aunt Wanrong and Aunt Yaquan are upstairs. They seem to be giving birth to a baby, and they are on the rooftop every day."
Bask in the sun."
"Where is my younger brother?" Zhou Hexuan asked.
Xiao Lingjun immediately complained: "My younger brother is a big lazy boy. He doesn't even play with me. He just stays lazy in the house all day long."
Zhou Hexuan entered the house happily, ordered the servant to arrange a room for Vivien Leigh, and then ran to the rooftop with Vivien Leigh.
Her husband didn't show up when he came back from Europe, just sunbathing on the rooftop. Obviously Wanrong and Liao Yaquan were deliberately showing off. Zhang Leyi and Meng Xiaodong were also similar. They knew that their husbands were going home today, so one stayed in Peking to study, and the other continued as usual.
Not showing up for work.
These four women should have discussed it in advance!
As soon as he got to the second floor, Zhou Hexuan bumped into Cui Huifu. Sister Cui greeted with a smile: "Sir, is this Miss Vivien Leigh back?" She greeted in English, "Hello, Miss Fei, my name is Cui Huifu, and I am the housekeeper here.
"
Vivien Leigh said quickly: "Hello, Ms. Cui, your English is very standard. However, my original surname is Atli, and now my surname is Zhou, not Fei."
In many European and American countries, like China, women must take their husband's surname after marriage. Now Vivien Leigh's official name is "Vivian Marie Chow".
Cui Huifu smiled solemnly and said: "Let's not talk about whether your surname is Zhou. When you arrive in China, you must follow Chinese rules. Since your Chinese name is Vivien Leigh, your surname should be Fei, don't you think?"
This is a killing stick!
Zhou Hexuan felt his scalp numb.
The four women hid and did not show their faces, but pushed Cui Huifu out and beat Vivien Leigh, making it clear that they wanted to show Vivien Leigh her strength.
Hey, that's not right.
When did Cui Huifu become the housekeeper of Zhou Mansion?
Vivien Leigh was not a fool. She immediately understood what Cui Huifu meant. She suppressed her anger and said, "In this case, my surname will be Fei from now on."
"Mary, you go to your room first. I have something to say to Miss Cui." Zhou Hexuan sent Vivien Leigh away.
Vivien Leigh nodded and said, "Then I'll pack my luggage first."
After Vivien Leigh left, Zhou Hexuan asked in a low voice: "Miss Cui, what's going on with the ladies?"
Cui Huifu said: "They are very unhappy. It's okay for you to bring a Chinese woman back, but you bring back a foreign woman. Wanrong and Yaquan are pregnant. You must not make them angry again."
Zhou Hexuan nodded and asked again: "Why did you become a butler?"
Cui Huifu spread her hands: "I'm not used to working outside, so Wanrong kept me here. If sir doesn't like it, I will resign immediately."
"No, no, no, of course I'm happy that Miss Cui can stay as a housekeeper, but it's too inconvenient." Zhou Hexuan said.
Cui Huifu is as famous as Lu Bicheng, a talented woman from Tianjin. Historically, she was also the head of the Internal Affairs Bureau of the Puppet Manchukuo Kingdom. With her in charge of the Zhou family, Sanletang will definitely be in good order.
Cui Huifu is already 36 years old. She is a mature beauty with a dignified face and a plump figure. She is very eye-catching at home. She has never been married, never been in love, or even had an engagement.
For a woman who has made a vow not to marry for the rest of her life, her loyalty is not a problem.
Zhou Hexuan asked casually: "Is Miss Cui Er's studies okay?"
Cui Huifu smiled and said: "Huimei has been admitted to the preparatory class of Nankai University. If her studies go well, she will be able to officially study at Nankai University in half a year."
"The Cui family has another talented woman." Zhou Hexuan took advantage of the opportunity to praise.
Cui Huifu was particularly happy with this. She placed all her hopes on her sister. Naturally, the better the sister, the better. She whispered: "Sir, it is normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, but what you did is too reckless and shouldn't be done."
Bring your new love back directly. I can help you deal with it, but you should also try your best to say nice things and ask the new wife to lower her arrogance. These ladies are all reasonable women. As long as you sincerely admit your mistake, they can slowly accept it.
.”
"Then let Miss Cui deal with it." Zhou Hexuan felt that this housekeeper was really a treasure. Not only was this woman excellent in ability, but she also had feudal ideas and knew how to share the worries of the male master. I believe that the back house will be very harmonious from now on.
