"Reading club?" Qi Hongyi was a little surprised. She read books and wrote books. The people in the domestic History Research Association were basically men. These guys could really be called knowledgeable and knowledgeable. Qi Hongyi was very clear that her level was below average. These people respected Qi Hongyi … her husband, so they also respected Qi Hongyi on the surface. But when it came to real historical issues, they would often discuss a conclusion first and then show it to Qi Hongyi. Among the editors, her name was in a very high position. That was all.
Looking at the complicated expression on Qi Hongyi's face, Wang She smiled. He smiled and said, "We're just sitting together, eating, and chatting."
Hearing this, Qi Hongyi's expression eased a lot. It turned out to be a private club with a reading club. That was fine. He had to be as strict and serious as possible when he worked during the day. Qi Hongyi really didn't want to be nervous when he was resting.
In the evening, Qi Hongyi went to the "reading club". As soon as he entered the room, the first thing he saw were a few books on the table and a variety of wine in the wine cabinet next to the books.
The members of the "reading club" all knew each other. Among the wives of seven or eight middle and senior cadres, the wife of Hu Chenghe, whose husband's position was second only to Qi Hongyi's. They didn't care so much. They put the books from the table to the middle of the wine cabinet.
Several bottles of wine and dishes occupied the table.
The sour aftertaste of the white wine and the light taste of the white fish matched very well. Qi Hongyi was very satisfied. Seeing that Qi Hongyi skillfully tasted the wine and food with the best combination, the members of the reading club were very appreciative. Hu Chenghe's wife smiled and said, "Hongyi, I heard this way of eating from my old man. My old man said this was taught by His Majesty. Those men eat and drink in private, but never take us with them. This is not fair. "
Hearing this, Qi Hongyi did not know how to answer. According to Hu Chenghe's wife, Vézé's image was that of an emperor who knew how to eat and drink. Qi Hongyi had been married to Vézé for many years. What she disliked the most was Vézé's ascetic behavior.
When one read about those with high morals and noble conduct, one would naturally feel a sense of admiration. However, when he met such a person in real life, Qi Hongyi realized that it was meaningless at all. However, Vézé seemed to be a man of few desires, and he seemed to be very good at eating and drinking. In terms of family background, a young lady from a Nanjing bibliophile family was much better than a martial artist from a poor mountain valley in Guangxi. However, after being husband and wife for so many years, Qi Hongyi felt that she was not as good as Vézé in terms of knowledge, enjoyment, and taste of life.
Qi Hongyi now understood that Vézé's ascetic behavior was based on a high standard of enjoyment. Ordinary eating, drinking, and playing could not enter Vézé's eyes at all.
Of course, this was a private matter. Qi Hongyi would not tell outsiders about this in any case. When women of this age were together, the content of the conversation was probably about husbands and children. In terms of husbands, Qi Hongyi had nothing to say. She already had a natural advantage. Winners were always magnanimous. Qi Hongyi also had to take care of the feelings of other people in the "reading club". The only thing he could talk about was his children.
As for his own children, Qi Hongyi found that they were really not as good as other families. Other families married their daughters-in-law and daughters. They even had grandchildren. Qi Hongyi had two sons and one daughter. One was a student, and the other was a soldier. They seemed busy and fulfilling, but they did not have a family.
"Sister Qi, I heard that your family's Wei Rui is a soldier?" Wang He asked.
When it came to his eldest son, Qi Hongyi could not talk about it. He became a captain in his twenties, and it was possible for him to become a lieutenant colonel before the age of thirty. This was indeed a very good result in an ordinary family. Becoming a field officer meant crossing the most important threshold of the social class. It meant that he had officially become a member of the ruling class from a reserve soldier.
However, Wei Rui's father, Vézé, had already become the Emperor of the Southern Dynasty at this age. Vézé officially ascended the throne before the age of thirty. So what if Qi Hongyi's son was outstanding? Moreover, his son was a soldier in the distant North America, and he had not seen him for more than two years. Qi Hongyi missed him very much.
Hu Chenghe's status was very high, and coupled with the Min dynasty's system, Hu Chenghe's wife smiled and said, "Hongyi, why don't we also see if there are any suitable daughters for you to choose from? No matter where Wei Rui is serving in the army, call him back. If the two of you like each other, then get married. "
Speaking of this, Qi Hongyi sighed and said, "Wei Rui's father is talking about free love, and all the young children follow his example. I also asked Wei Rui, and he is very reasonable. He said that he is busy with work, and that he is not in the mood. What mood do you need when you are getting married? "
At this time, the members of the "Reading Club" had all drunk a few glasses of wine, and were in a good mood after the alcohol kicked in. Hu Chenghe's wife smiled and said, "Not only your family's Wei Rui, but also our children. The boys feel that getting married is troublesome, and the girls feel that getting married is tiring. Our old man was not willing to interfere, and almost let them fool around. I also quarreled with the old man several times, and in the end, he came forward and asked these children to get married as soon as possible. My old man said that he was not so tired even when he was fighting a war. "
"Isn't that so!" Wang He also smiled and said, "Nowadays, the children just want to learn from their fathers. Seeing that their fathers are already in power at such a young age, they all feel that they are stronger than their fathers. But they don't think about it. Back then, their fathers put their heads on their belts and followed His Majesty in the revolution. They themselves suffered, and they don't want their children to suffer as well. My child is the same. I told him that a house has already been prepared for him, and he is just waiting for him to get married. But they only want to make progress, and they feel that after getting married, their families will be a burden, so they can't concentrate on their work. In fact, what do they work for? They eat and brag with that group of friends all day, and they don't look like their father at all. "
The book had long been thrown aside, and the wine was getting more and more. As the alcohol kicked in, the women of the "Reading Club" complained about the children's disobedience. How could the older generation have so many thoughts? It was good to just get married and live a good life. Nowadays, young people still felt that they didn't like this and that. Their fathers' generation was already rebellious enough back then, but in the second generation, this group of children was even more outrageous than their fathers' generation.
In the end, none of the problems could be solved, but they drank a lot of wine. Qi Hongyi felt a little dizzy, but she felt very comfortable. Finally, she could speak out the depression in her heart, and her mood was unconsciously much more relaxed. She took out an envelope and handed it to the leader of the "Reading Club", Wang He. Meng He. "This is my membership fee. In the future, we still have to read more."
When she got home, Qi Hongyi saw that the light was still on in Vézé's study. She knocked on the door and went straight in. Vézé had a lot of attainments in music. Occasionally, he would hum songs by himself, and sometimes he would sing for everyone. The song that left a deep impression on Qi Hongyi was "The Song of the God of Wine". "After drinking our wine, one dares to walk alone. After drinking our wine, one dares not to kowtow to the emperor!" At this moment, she felt the urge to pull the emperor down from his horse. As for her son, Qi Hongyi had long wanted to talk to Vézé about it, but she always felt that there was no time. Now, the time had come.
"The true colors of the Reading Club have been revealed. It seems that madam is very satisfied!" Vézé added some hot water to his cup and handed it to Qi Hongyi.
After taking a sip of tea, Qi Hongyi felt even better. She dragged Vézé away from the chair and sat on the sofa in the study. Then, Qi Hongyi sat directly on Vézé's lap and put her arms around Vézé's neck. Feeling Vézé's gentle embrace around her waist, Qi Hongyi felt very warm and at ease. She said, "Vézé, I just want to ask you. Do you want Wei Rui to inherit the throne? "
Vézé sighed. "I've said this many times. If he really has the ability to be recognized, I won't refuse this kind of thing. What I refuse is …"
Qi Hongyi also didn't want to argue with Vézé about this issue. All that could be said had already been said in the past. She lowered her head and kissed Vézé hard on the lips, blocking Vézé's mouth and not letting him continue. After a while, she let go of Vézé's lips and said straightforwardly after a drink, "Then do you want Wei Rui to marry? As his father, you have to say something about this. "
"That's possible." Vézé smiled.
"Really?" Qi Hongyi tilted her head and looked at Vézé. She smiled and confirmed whether Vézé was sincere or just being perfunctory.
Vézé looked at his wife and said sincerely, "Really. I think he should get married at this age. If he doesn't get married now, it will be hard for him to find a partner in the future! "
Hearing her husband say this, Qi Hongyi was not happy. She said in a seemingly angry tone unique to drunkenness, "What! Why is it hard for my son to find a partner at this age? Even if he is thirty years old, there are still a lot of seventeen or eighteen-year-old girls to find! "
"Achoo!" Lieutenant Qi Rui sneezed in North America. Rubbing his nose, Lieutenant Qi Rui yawned and continued to write the report. He had never seen his mother act coquettishly to his father. If he saw his parents being so intimate, Lieutenant Qi Rui would probably be stunned.
However, the captain didn't think about his parents at this time. The matter of Li Guangzu was almost at the final stage. Li Guangzu himself had been sent to the military court for trial. Everyone generally believed that this guy was basically going to be shot. All Lieutenant Qi Rui had to do on this matter was to testify. His most important job was to reorganize the company through this matter. He also had to report his thoughts and results to his superior.
