5.Look at Zhu Chengbi

A few days ago, I received a phone call from Cheng Bi, saying that their family is going to China for vacation, and they want to go home first. I'm delighted, of course.

Although Cheng Bi and I have no blood relationship, but it is very close, biological brother and sister are no more than this. She grew me and thin film seven years old, very painful pet maintenance for us. Although she and thin film is a sister, but different looks and personalities. Thin film clear and clever, gentle and careful, into Bi is charming sweet, soft and silly. Thin shadow and I secretly called her "book lover", because she loves reading, as long as a book in hand, everything is not worried.

When Cheng Bi was 17 years old, her parents sent her to the University of Florence to study archaeology, her favorite major. There, she met her Belgian classmate who majored in the same field and is now her husband philippe. She used to write about philippe's perfect Greek profile. When she brought philippe home to meet her parents, we called philippe "Greek Profile" in front of them. We all like philippe very much and hope that they can get married soon.

But later, when Cheng Bi fled from Italy crying and came back, we learned that philippe was the Crown prince of Belgium and hid his identity when he was in contact with Cheng Bi. philippe's mother, ann-sophie, the Queen of Belgium, found out about their love affair, and hid from her son to find Cheng Bi, telling her that the royal family and the parliament could not accept an Asian woman of common origin as the queen of Belgium, and if philippe married her, he would have to give up his right to inherit the throne. Into bi dont want to miss his future, leave without saying goodbye, quietly back home.

As a result, philippe chased him all the way to Beijing and wanted to be with Cheng Bi regardless, saying that what he loved most in his life was Cheng Bi and archaeology, and when he became king, he would not have the same, so giving up the throne was relief for him, not sacrifice. Eventually Cheng Bi was persuaded by him to change his mind, the two people married together, and worked together for the international Joint Archaeological Association, to participate in cultural relics unearthed projects around the world, the cause of love. The succession to the Belgian throne passed to philippe's brother felix.

When their daughter, Princess gisele, was born, I, now 13, and my family went to the Royal Palace in Brussels to see Cheng Bi and the newborn baby.

Because my father is already a well-known painter in Europe, and our family background, the king and Queen of Belgium, philippe's parents, treated us with great courtesy. Especially when the Empress, who was originally from France, heard that both my father and I could speak French, she became even closer to us.

But the queen is very cold to thin film, thin film later told me that the queen in shaking hands with her, only extended his three hands to let her hold. This open contempt because thin film is into Bi's sister. From then on, I knew how incongruous the relationship between the queen and Cheng Bi's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was.

The first time I saw Princess gisele, she was two months old, lying in a cradle of satin flowers, wrinkling her little nose and crying. Her grandmother, her parents, her magistrates, her maids, no one could coax her.

I approached curiously, but suddenly she was silent, sobbing and looking at me with her big, wet eyes. Everyone laughed and said I was destined for her and let me hug her.

I have never held a child in my arms rigidly, holding her in my arms, carefully looking at it - this is a beautiful pink and white hybrid baby, with only a few fluffy little head with a pink bow, slightly open mouth, with a pair of black brown eyes staring at me.

Cheng Bi said: "gisele this small appearance, looks like Shuying when she was a child."

"gisele looks like an angel," Shuying said with a faint smile. "I'm afraid I didn't look that good when I was a kid."

gisele gave me a chuckle and pucked up her little nose to reveal her pink bare gums.

My heart warmed and I smiled back at her. I thought that the thin shadow of the baby must be so lovely.

Her full name is Her Royal Highness Princess Giselle Reneclaire - josephinemarie, and Cheng Bi gave her a Chinese name, Yunshen.

When thin film died six years later, Cheng Bi and philippe rushed home to see her for the last time, but did not bring gisele. He said the child had been living with his grandparents in the royal Palace in Brussels, and it would be difficult to take him out once. Between the words, she could not hide the helplessness and bitterness.

In the following years, I was busy with my work, and Cheng Bi and philippe were also traveling all over the world. Even a meeting is a quick one. But the little baby Yunshen, or Princess gisele, I had not seen for twelve years.

Their return this time is also a long reunion, I and Wei aunt are very happy. Wei Aunt, in particular, let people clean up their room early, and busy arranging their favorite dishes.

The morning after they arrived, I returned home from Stockholm after the annual organizing meeting at the Swedish Medical School.

Once in the door, fran? ois came up with a smile and took the bag in my hand: "How was your journey, Sir?"

fran? ois is Swiss and in his late fifties. His father had been our butler in Geneva, serving my grandfather and my father for two generations. When my parents decided to move back to Beijing from Geneva 20 years ago, his father was too old to accompany them. ois took his father's place and moved with us to China, where we remain today. He married a Chinese woman, Ju Fen, whom I'll call Aunt Ju, who is now the family's cook. They have an 18-year-old son, Geran, who went to university in Lausanne last year. Their family has been with us for many years, and I already regard them as members of the family.

"It's fine. I took a break from work this time to visit Geran in Lausanne. He's doing fine. He's doing well in school, he's settled in, and he's got a girlfriend." I smiled at fran? ois said.

"It is very much your trouble. His mother didn't know whether to be happy or worried." fran? ois was a little emotional.

"I saw the girl, a pretty, shy Polish girl. You'll like it." I ease his heart.

At this moment, a familiar voice called me from upstairs: "Jing Ping!"

I turned with a smile, and Cheng Bi ran down quickly, gave me a big hug, and then pulled me up to look at it: "Oh, ah, how is it that when I saw you in Zurich a year ago, nothing has changed or red lips and white teeth, fine skin and tender flesh." Not like an old woman like me, who is getting worse."

I looked closely at her, still lithe and picturesque, but with a slight tan and fine lines under her eyes as she smiled. Want to do this line of archaeology, wind and sun, digging holes, this hard work is not ordinary women can withstand.

I smiled and answered: "You are a female, both talented and beautiful, and wearing a popular bronzing skin tone, who has seen such a beautiful old woman your 'Greek profile' this time to let you fly alone, will not be afraid of accidents?"

"philippe stayed in Brussels to deal with some family matters, and I didn't want to stay in the palace any longer, so I came here with Yunshen first." philippe will come back a few days later."

"What is the depth of the cloud?" I asked, somewhat curious, what the little baby of that year, now a 12-year-old girl, had grown into.

'In her own room. I'll call her." Cheng Bi turned to go upstairs.

At this moment Aunt Wei hurried down from the upstairs: "She is not in her room, perhaps she has gone to the garden to play." It's a big garden. Don't get lost or fall into the water."

Cheng Bi was startled, and quickly went separately with me to find.

At this time, Wei Aunt called me: "Jing Ping!"

I looked back at her, but she stopped talking, sighed and said, "You go, be careful."

I did not care to think much, first to find someone important, then promised, and walked out quickly.
