Time Travel: Female Cannon Fodder of the Republic of China

Ai Shutong looked up and saw that the servant's clothes on his chest had been pierced by the whip and blood was trickling out.

"Liu Shun, match the young lady with two sensible maids." Jin Hengsu turned his head and gave the order, then put his arm around Meng Bailu's waist and left the front yard.

Ai Shutong was confused and was helped back to Chunyi Pavilion by two young girls in their prime.

I thought about it for half the night, but still couldn't figure out what play Jin Hengsu and Meng Bailu were singing.

She got up late in the morning and didn't even have time to eat breakfast.

In the carriage, facing the strange looks from Jin Minfan and Jin Minqian, I yawned all the way to Dengshikou Street.

After getting off the bus, she hurried to the school cafeteria, hoping to buy some staple food. She hadn't eaten for two meals and was starving.

After a listless day, he returned to the Jin Mansion and was about to go to bed to catch up on some sleep when Cai Lian called him, "Miss, here is an invitation for you!"

Cai Lian and Shuang Xi were the maids that Liu Shunxin gave to Ai Shutong.

The two little girls don’t look even older than Ai Shutong.

"Put it on the table and get out!"

Ai Shutong's attitude can't be said to be good, but it's not bad either.

Since she was just a passer-by here, there was no need for her to have too much involvement with them. It would be better for both parties to keep a distance.

When I woke up again, it was already dark.

Ai Shutong was too lazy to get up and just lay on the bed thinking about her problems.

Tomorrow is the weekend, and it is the day I have an appointment with Xia Yu. How should I tell her?

After thinking for a while, he felt that this was the best arrangement. He sighed deeply, then slowly got up and turned on the light.

I walked to the table and sat down, then poured myself a cup of herbal tea. Just as I was about to drink it, I saw an elegant invitation with a picture of orchids on it on the table.

When you pick it up with your hand, you can almost smell the fragrance!

The address is Zheng Mansion in Dongtangzi Hutong!

Dongtangzi Hutong is full of celebrities!

Mary's home and Jin Hengsu's boss, Director Li's home are both there.

She opened it curiously and found out that it was the second daughter of the Director of Health, Zheng Ruyue, who was celebrating her birthday. There would be a dance party at home on September 28th and she was invited to attend.

Oh?! Isn't this the senior named Beiman that Mary introduced?

Her family also lives in Dongtangzi Hutong, so they are neighbors with Mary's family! No wonder they are good friends.

After figuring it out, Ai Shutong casually put the invitation on the table and started drinking tea.

After a while, there was a knock on the door. It must be the maid coming to bring dinner.

"Come in."

Cai Lian and Shuang Xi walked in one after the other.

Strangely, the two of them were not holding food boxes or trays.

Instead, he was holding two large boxes.

Ai Shutong asked curiously: "What is it?"

Cai Lian said crisply, "The Second Madam bought you clothes and jewelry, saying that you will need them in a few days!"

Ai Shutong laughed sarcastically and said in a strange voice, "Oh my! She is really capable, good at fortune-telling, a versatile person!"

Cailian and Shuangxi carefully placed the box on the table, lowered their heads, and opened the lid.

Ai Shutong stretched her head to take a look and saw a pink lace dress in a box. She didn't expect Meng Bailu to have such a childish aesthetic.

Another box contained a set of pearl jewelry, each one round and full.

The pearl necklace was coiled in several circles, and the beads on it were exactly the same size.

Ai Shutong became happy again, because this time Meng Bailu didn't comb Jin Heng's hair!

"Leave it there, go and bring me dinner, I'm hungry!"

Cailian and Shuangxi breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the young lady was not angry and seemed to be in a good mood.

Nodding, "Yes."

He walked out the door with light and quick steps.

After turning off the lights at night, Ai Shutong took advantage of the moonlight to secretly prepare money for Xia Yu.

There were one hundred taels of silver and more than seventy dollars in cash in the space, and the rest were items.

Because there was a Lin Ma in her former residence, Ai Shutong didn't dare give all the cash she had saved to Xia Yu.

She counted out forty dollars, took out two gold hairpins and a pair of silver bracelets, and wrapped them in cloth.

Put two letters and a note prepared in advance on it.

After thinking for a while and finding nothing else missing, he put the things into the space.

Early the next morning, Ai Shutong got up and went running.

Since she came here, Ai Shutong has paid special attention to exercise. She feels that the risk factor in this era is too high, and it would be better if she met a short man or woman.

If she happened to meet a strong man or several men, she would definitely not be able to defeat them.

At this time, if you want to save your life, you either need a weapon or good legs and feet - the ability to run.

As for weapons, she hasn't found a way yet.

To prevent any accidents, you should exercise your legs and feet first!

After breakfast, Cai Lian cleaned up the dishes and left.

Shuangxi stood at the door motionless.

Ai Shutong calmly took out the English novel she had read last time and continued reading.

A quarter of an hour later, she looked up at Shuangxi and said, "Shuangxi, my friend is going to have a business in a few days, and I need to buy a birthday present in advance."

"But I don't have any money. Go ask Butler Liu if I can get the money from the accounting office!"

Shuangxi said "ah" obediently and walked away on tiptoe.

Ai Shutong pretended to stand up, walked around the room, and seeing that there was no one outside, she took out the things she had prepared in advance from the space and walked towards the small park at a very fast pace.

As soon as I stepped into the hanging flower gate, I saw Xia Yu pacing there.

"Miss, you are finally here. Last time I waited here for a long time, but you didn't come. Did something happen?"

Xia Yu took a few steps forward, took Ai Shutong's hand, and began to talk.

Ai Shutong stuffed the cloth bag in her hand into her hand.

"Something happened, don't worry about it!"

"Let's cut to the chase. I don't plan to stay in this Jin Mansion anymore. I want to go to Shanghai."

"But I'm worried about you. If you're discovered by Li Yanran, you'll be dead. I want to send you to Shanghai."

"What do you think?"

After hearing this, Xia Yu panicked, "Miss, I, I..."

Ai Shutong interrupted her, "There are forty dollars and a few pieces of jewelry in this cloth bag. If you don't leave, you can hide it and spend it slowly."

Xia Yu cried and shook her head, "No, no, I'll go with you."

Ai Shutong: "It's not that you come with me, but that you go to Shanghai first. I will come to find you after some time."

"If we go together, we will be too conspicuous and our chances of escaping will be much smaller. It is safer to go separately."

Xia Yu was dumbfounded, "But I can't read, I don't know how to get to Shanghai!"

Ai Shutong handed her a letter and said, "I have asked someone to buy you a train ticket. You will leave on October 1st."

"Take this letter, take a rickshaw to Peking University, find Professor Shen Jiaxing, give him the letter, and he will arrange for you to board the train."

"You should clean up in the next two days and sew a few pockets on your underwear and put your money inside. I heard there are a lot of pickpockets on the trains, and it's easy for money to be stolen if it's out in the open."

"When you get to Shanghai, don't stay at the train station. When you get out of the train station, take the main road, not the side roads. Walk a few miles, hail a rickshaw, and ask it to take you to No. 15 Xujiahui Road."
