Time Travel: Female Cannon Fodder of the Republic of China

He was thinking excitedly, but was interrupted by the annoying knock on the door, and felt unhappy.

He lowered the corners of his mouth, dropped the brush in his hand, and leaned back in the chair with his eyes closed.

A few minutes passed, and he couldn't continue his thoughts. He shouted angrily, "Come in!"

As soon as Liu Shun heard the voice, he knew that the master was in a bad mood. After opening the door, he couldn't help but take a step back, exposing Ai Shutong's entire body in front of him.

Ai Shutong also heard that Jin Hengsu was in a bad mood, so she lowered her head and walked in slowly.

After Liu Shun closed the door, he stood guard outside and the room fell silent.

Seeing that Ai Shutong didn't say anything, Jin Hengsu secretly hated her in his heart, what a blockhead she is, what else can he expect from her!

"Did you go to the Beijing Hotel today?"

Ai Shutong still lowered her head: "Before leaving, I asked Dongmei to consult the master, and she said the master agreed."

Jin Hengsu was choked for a moment and didn't know what to say next.

After thinking for a few seconds, he suddenly smiled and said, "What does Miss Mary want to see you about?"

Ai Shutong: "She's going to have her eighteenth birthday and invited me to attend!"

Jin Hengshu's eyes lit up, "This is good news! It's Miss Mary's birthday, Sir John will definitely be there!"

Ai Shutong: "When his daughter does business, her father is usually present."

Jin Hengshu: "Okay, okay, okay, I'll go with you then!"

Ai Shutong sneered in her heart, but said seriously: "I have already refused."

Jin Hengshu's voice suddenly raised: "What?"

Ai Shutong lowered her head and pretended to be frightened, "It's Miss Mary's birthday, and the guests must be dignitaries. The gifts must be very expensive. The British open their gifts on the spot. I don't have any money..."

Jin Hengsu was almost mad at this stupid daughter. You have no money, but I have money!

Won't you come back and tell me?

Would I not give you money to buy a gift?

He was heartbroken that he missed such a good social opportunity!

Ai Shutong was still mumbling without knowing whether to live or die: "I don't have any good clothes to wear. If I go like this, I will definitely become a laughing stock. I don't want to go!"

Jin Hengshu's face darkened, and he gritted his teeth and asked, "When is Miss Mary's birthday?"

Ai Shutong: "The third day of July."

Jin Hengshu: "There's still more than a month left, there's still time."

He shouted loudly to the outside of the door: "Liu Shun, come in."

Liu Shun walked in with his head bowed, "Master, what do you want me to do?"

Jin Hengshu: "Tomorrow you will take out two thousand taels of silver from the account and accompany the young lady to the foreign company. Make sure to make up for all the shortfalls of the young lady. Do you understand?"

Turning his head, he told Ai Shutong, "Go around these few days and get everything you need for Miss Mary's birthday. If you don't have enough money, tell me. Got it?"

Liu Shun replied respectfully: "I understand, sir."

Ai Shutong was not so polite and pouted, saying, "I have already refused and I haven't even brought the invitation back. How can I go?"

Jin Hengshu said sternly, "Invite Miss Mary out to play these few days, apologize to her, and say that you refused to attend her birthday party because you were confused for a moment."

"After taking good care of her, it shouldn't be difficult to ask for an invitation, right?"

Without waiting for Ai Shutong to refuse, Jin Hengshu made the decision, "It's settled. If you need money, tell Liu Shun and let him deduct it from the two thousand taels of silver."

Ai Shutong looked like she had to compromise, but she was actually very happy in her heart.

The next day, Ai Shutong started shopping. She not only bought clothes and shoes, but also pens and some jewelry.

After spending a few days in a row.

"Uncle Liu, please give me some more money. I just remembered that the Western skirt I bought needs to be matched with a handbag." Ai Shutong said with a smile.

Liu Shun looked at her expressionlessly, "Miss, you have already used up the two thousand taels of silver that the master gave you."

Ai Shutong was surprised. "How is that possible? I feel like there are still many things I haven't bought."

As soon as he finished speaking, his face changed drastically, "Uncle Liu, I haven't bought Miss Mary a birthday present yet! What should I do?"

Liu Shun didn't even move his eyes, and uttered words one by one, "Go, find, the old man."

Ai Shutong turned around quickly and went straight to the study room, but she didn't know that Jin Hengshu had just taken a bus to the Education Bureau and would not be back until the evening.

She rolled her eyes and went to find Liu Shun again, "Liu Shun, the master just left in the car. You know how much the master values ​​Miss Mary's birthday. He must buy her a gift."

"How about we go pick some first? I'm afraid we won't be able to find anything good in a short while."

Liu Shun lowered his head and thought about it. The master really attached great importance to the birthday of the British ambassador's daughter.

And he also told me last time that if you don’t have enough money, come to him.

How about going and taking a look first?

Seeing him hesitate, Ai Shutong tried her best to persuade him, "Let's go to Xidan North Street. There are many shopping malls there, selling everything."

"Let's go take a look today and see what gifts to buy."

"It's free to take a look ahead of time, and I can explain it to the master when I come back. How great!"

Liu Shun thought so too, it didn’t cost any money to take a look.

In this way, he and Bai Guo accompanied Ai Shutong to Xidan.

Ai Shutong's outfit this time was completely different from last time. She was wearing a white lace western dress and a pair of bright red leather shoes. She stepped on the ground, making a rhythmic "da da da" sound.

She first went to a gold counter, picked and chose, and then deliberately complained to Bai Guo: "These don't look fashionable at all. I'm sure Miss Mary won't like them."

Bai Guo smiled and comforted her, "We just arrived, this is the first one, Miss, you can go look somewhere else."

Ai Shutong pouted and nodded, agreeing with her opinion.

Liu Shun did not express any opinion from beginning to end, he just followed them wherever they went.

After looking at four or five shops, the three of them came to Henry's Watch Shop.

When she lowered her head to walk up the stairs, a bright light flashed in Ai Shutong's eyes. This mechanical watch from Europe is more valuable than gold.

The salesperson who received Ai Shutong this time was not a man in a robe, but a young man in a suit. The man had a row of neat and white teeth, and he was particularly attractive when he smiled.

People of this era do not pay much attention to oral hygiene. After Ai Shutong came through, she saw such beautiful teeth for the first time and couldn't help but take a few more glances.

Bai Guo noticed it and pulled her clothes hard.

Ai Shutong turned her head naturally and asked, "Why are you pulling me?"

This made Baiguo's face turn red all of a sudden.

Humph! As long as I am not embarrassed, others will be embarrassed!

The after-sales clerk smiled and asked, "Miss, do you have a favorite brand? I can take you to have a look."

Ai Shutong raised her head and said proudly, "I heard that Omega is pretty good!"
