742 Gentleman's Road

Zhang Enling's face was ashen, he never imagined that he would become the target of everyone's attacks. Pen ~ fun ~ Ge www.biquge.info actually he faintly felt that there would be such a day, he was so different from everyone else, he was carrying a big braid, he was a pigtail in the eyes of others, and he was the spokesman for ignorance. The more he was in the limelight, the more he was hated.

Bai Xin had already turned around and left, preparing for the upcoming campaign speech. Looking at her tall and slender back, Zhang Enling felt a little heartache. Like all the boys of Lodu University, Bai Xin, who exists like a goddess, is the lover of his dreams. A scholar born in the countryside has never seen such a girl, it is a beautiful and independent one, which is enough to make people dream.

Unlike other boys, he will chase Bai Xin, write love letters, play guitar, buy flowers and romantic confessions, he knows how small he is. The other party is a princess, no matter her appearance, temperament, talent or family background, all of them are the best choice. He is just a thin scholar who is ridiculed by everyone, with no money, no power, no talent and no appearance. Among the words of the later generations, there is one word that suits him well, **silk.

He never expected to have any fate with Bai Xin, but he was even more unwilling to let Bai Xin look down on him and be angry with him.

In addition to being clumsy, the reason why Zhang Enling really refutes the disadvantage is that in his heart he knows that he does have a different view of women than men. Although it is not as unbearable as Zheng Ruolan and Yao Ying said, Zhang Enling knows that he is a bit machismo. Utilitarian Fields should be fought by men, and women should be protected to do something more suitable for them. Therefore, he blames himself in his heart, and when others are attacking him, he cannot make a perfect defense, even if he is not expressing discrimination, but he cannot deny his discrimination.

On the other end, the representative of the school was comforting Bai Xin, and said warmly: "Student Bai, don't take it too seriously, it's time to give a speech after that, so let's relax and prepare for the war with all our might." Such a student is not worthy of being a student of Los Angeles University, and the university will definitely deal with it seriously. After that, he must have been expelled. ”

Although the school representative's expression was very righteous and righteous, his deeds were two words, flattery. Why she flattered and welcomed herself, Bai Xin understood very well - because she was a princess.

For such people, Bai Xin was even more disgusted. Even though she knew that it was normal for her to be inflammatory, she was still uncomfortable, which came from Bai Nan's education to her, and the children of the Bai family would not be able to take it for granted to be superior to others, or abuse their advantages and powers.

Bai Xin frowned and said to the school representative: "We can't verify in detail whether Zhang Enling really discriminates against women, after all, he didn't fully express the discriminatory language against me or other women. Even if he took a step back and said that he really did this, according to the school rules, he would not be expelled in one step, which is an abuse of power. ”

The school representative was a little embarrassed, thinking to himself Nima, I am obviously trying to please you, but you don't accept this. The man could only smile wryly: "After all, we are a Qing international student, and we have higher requirements for international students." ”

Bai Xin frowned deeper, "Discrimination against women is a problem, isn't it a problem to discriminate against people from other countries?" The school rules mention that the students of this school are treated equally regardless of international race, just because he is a Qing national, so it makes no sense to punish them severely. ”

The school representative couldn't bear it, and asked Xiaoyi: "So what is your attitude, classmate Bai?" ”

Bai Xin said: "He has suffered a loss, and he will not be easy to mix in the school in the future, so he has to be forgiving and forgiving." After all, he will graduate in just over a year, and he is also a talent, so it is not appropriate to fire him now. ”

After saying this, Bai Xin bowed slightly to the school representative and said: "I'm just a student, an ordinary member of the student union, how to deal with it is a matter of the school, I only have the right to suggest, I hope you can be cautious, after all, it is someone else's future." ”

The school representative watched Bai Xin walk away, as if he had been gnawed by a grass and mud horse. Even in an ivory tower like a university, there are interpersonal and political aspects. Not to mention, as the first university in Datang, Luodu University itself has sent a large number of talents to the political circles. Bai Xin's kind of thing is the last thing they can do, although the overall atmosphere of Datang is fair and clear. But human affection is universal in Chinese society.

"It's still easy for people like Wang Jianyou to do, and the eight-sided exquisiteness will come to things, this president's daughter is really quite difficult, overly idealistic, and unpredictable." The school representative complained to his colleagues.

It is true that Bai Xin is a goddess, and it is not false that she is the daughter of the president, but she is also hated when she is beautiful and sought after. Everyone can't help but wonder why she has no good things in the world. Smart, beautiful, and has a good father, although Bai Xin is gentle, she is essentially the type that will not come to things, and she belongs to a typical gentle and cold goddess. She makes you feel like a spring breeze and at the same time unapproachable.

Not only do people at school think so, but students also feel this way. may be because of the influence of this small turmoil, Bai Xin's performance is average. Fortunately, her popularity among students is excellent, so the response is still good.

But when Wang Jianyou appeared, the direction of the wind immediately changed. Wang Jianyou has a good image, is better at incitement, he is smart and can perceive people's hearts, compared with Bai Xinlai, he is not bad, but more directly grasps several important demands of students, such as helping students strive for academic resources, such as building an alumni liaison mechanism that is more conducive to the future development of students after graduation. After all, Bai Xin was still a little immature, and the content of his speech was relatively empty, Wang Jianyou directly made a wish, and his strength was much greater.

The school liked him, and the students liked him. Of course, there is another reason that cannot be raised, many students admire the goddess Bai Xin, but they cannot accept a female president to be their leader. The dignity of men does not allow it, and the jealousy of women does not allow it. In this school, the most suitable template for Bai Xin is a bright vase.

Not surprisingly, Bai Xin lost to Wang Jianyou by a huge margin.

After losing, she was really not in a good mood, but she also understood where she lost. Wang Jianyou shook hands with the students who supported him, he had an excellent memory and knew a lot of people, so at this time, it was like his friends all over the world. When he came to Bai Xin's side, Wang Jianyou smiled gently and said, "Accept it, classmate Bai, your performance is very exciting, I was lucky this time." ”

Bai Xin said politely: "No, classmate Wang is indeed better than me." ”

Receiving Bai Xin's praise, Wang Jianyou was a little proud, but he didn't show it obviously, he still hypocritically humbled it, but he thought in his heart, with such a big limelight, would she know her excellence and become one of the many girls who are obsessed with him.

However, Wang Jianyou still decided to want to indulge, he thought that his opportunity was big, and he didn't necessarily have to take the initiative. So he confessed and shook hands with the others.

There are people everywhere who wish him congratulations, and Wang Jianyou is like a campus star. His supporters also ran to tell each other and high-five each other. The scene became a little more chaotic, and the students followed Wang Jianyou as if they were in the middle of a victory march on campus. A few people knocked over the garbage cans on the side of the road, and the garbage was spilled, while the people rejoiced and continued on their way.

The janitor of the school next to her came over helplessly, this is an Indian woman about forty years old, and her Chinese does not seem to be Tbilisso, and she does not have the courage to ask the proud children of the school to pick up the garbage.

People are paying attention to Wang Jianyou, the most dazzling person in the field at this moment, and no one will notice the garbage on the ground and a helpless aboriginal cleaner in this corner.

Bai Xin stepped forward, and as soon as he took two steps, he saw a student holding up the somewhat heavy and huge garbage can, and then bent down and picked up the filthy garbage on the ground with both hands.

The cleaner thanked him and said in his not very familiar Chinese: "Let me come, don't get your clothes dirty, it will make people laugh." ”

I saw this student with big pigtails and smiled helplessly: "It's okay, there are already a lot of people laughing at me in this school." ”

Bai Xin walked over and also squatted down to pick up the garbage, her white and slender five fingers were as green as jade, which formed the most stark contrast with the garbage on the ground. Even the aboriginal female cleaner was frightened when she saw her and said: "Oh, don't pick it up, it's such a sin, you are so beautiful, how can you do such a lowly thing?" ”

Bai Xin smiled gently at this aboriginal woman, not affected by the dirt and rancid smell of garbage in the slightest, and said: "This is not a lowly job, you are a person worthy of respect and gratitude in this school, without you, where would this campus be so neat and clean?" ”

Zhang Enling was a little stunned when he saw Bai Xin picking up garbage. His face turned red again, and then he resignedly said, "Classmate Bai, that, I didn't mean to ...... before"

Bai Xin didn't look at him, he was still picking up garbage, but he said, "I also think you didn't mean to." ”

Zhang Enling seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, although he might become a rat in the school in the future, but at least Bai Xin didn't hate him.

The two helped clean up the garbage, and the cleaner thanked him a thousand times. The two went to the nearby faucet to wash their hands, Zhang Enling didn't dare to say a word, or even look at the girl next to him.

Bai Xin sensed that the atmosphere was a little awkward, and opened her mouth to break the silence and said, "You are from the College of Engineering." ”

Zhang Enling replied: "Yes, it's just that the grades are at the bottom." ”

Bai Xin asked: "I heard that you are very good at writing articles, and the head of the literature department wants you to change your major, why don't you change it?" ”

Zhang Enling replied again: "I came to Datang to learn the law of strengthening the country, dancing and writing and making ink can't save the Qing Dynasty, only by learning to build machines and guns can we save the country." ”

Immediately, he realized that his words were inappropriate. Obviously, the main enemy of the Qing Dynasty is the Tang Dynasty, which led to the great decline of the Qing Dynasty, and even the emperor was arrested and insulted, and the father of the girl in front of him was officially. Zhang Enling was even more at a loss.

Bai Xin didn't feel offended or anything, she just smiled slightly. She is clear about her father Bai Nan's ambitions, even if she doesn't know much about the details of Bai Nan's work, but Bai Nan's plan to seize the Qing Kingdom and let the Tang Dynasty seize the ancestral land of the Chinese people, many people are clear.

Bai Xin asked, "Are your family members officials of the imperial court?" ”

Zhang Enling shook his head: "The family is surrounded by four walls, and there are only two acres of thin fields. My father has been farming and studying all his life, and he has never eaten imperial grain. ”

Bai Xin said again: "The officials of the imperial court are thinking about how to transport the silver of the Great Qing Kingdom to their families, and the emperor is also thinking about how to keep their Manchurian country. ”

Zhang Enling was a little embarrassed and said: "The rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband, if everyone obeys you Tang people, and everyone is willing to be a slave to the country, then the backbone of the country will be broken." ”

Bai Xin seemed to like to hit this scholar very much, and she said with a smile: "When the Manchurians entered the Central Plains from outside the Guan, why didn't there be many people like you to protect the backbone of the country?" In the end, his knees were bent, his hair was shaved, and he became the so-called Qingren. If you want to say that you have a backbone, I am afraid it was broken more than a hundred years ago. And you have only been in Datang for three or four years, you are not blind, you can see for yourself, nine out of ten in this country are the original Qing people, when they were on the other side of the ocean, the backbone was broken, why did the backbone of North America straighten up again? ”

This is another extremely heart-wrenching question, Zhang Enling can refute it, but he knows that even if his rebuttal is logically fine, the reason will definitely not stand. It was not that there were no people who died and went to the country, but most of the so-called heirlooms of poetry, books, etiquette and music, and those who talked about etiquette and morality were indeed as Bai Xin said, bent their knees, shaved their hair, and continued to live. The Manchurians killed a person's head, so they naturally obeyed, and turned around and shouted that the Qing Dynasty was orthodox.

Now that the Qing Kingdom has declined, the Tang Dynasty originated in a foreign land, but it was a serious Han Chinese. Although the customs and upbringing are completely different, compared to the set of people who shave their hair and are easy to obey, it is basically the eldest brother who does not laugh at the second brother. The Tang people in the Qing Dynasty did not kill people and plunder, did business, cured and saved people, and preached and taught people, and the people who preached and taught were more than Manchu Qing Dynasty words.

Zhang Enling stayed in Los Angeles for three years, and the Tang people saw what life they were doing, how could they not be touched at all?

In the end, he just said: "But after all, it is my country, and I was born a Qing person." ”

Bai Xin seemed to be very happy with this kind of thing to change other people's perceptions, she looked the other party in the eye and said: "People have bad habits, and they always use similar excuses to prevaricate themselves. I was born like this, so I don't have to change it. But is that really the case? I was born knowing nothing, so I didn't need to study. The people of the Qing State were born to be exploited by the bureaucratic landlords, so they did not need to be saved. My father has been doing the same thing as you all his life, except that he knew exactly what he had to do and how to do it from the beginning. What he wants to save is our entire Chinese nation, so that all Chinese people have food, clothing, and housing, the hard-working and wise will succeed, the kind and benevolent will be respected, and the sages and sages can carry forward and inherit. Ask yourself what kind of country you want to save and how you should save the country. This country is just the word Qing Dynasty? All you want is a name? Presumably not, then the question returns, what exactly is a country? The country you want to save is to save a group of Manchu nobles who are lying on the heads of hundreds of millions of Li people and sucking blood, and they want them to be cattle, horses, pigs and sheep? Or those corrupt Confucians, bureaucrats and landlords who oppress and bully the people, but are full of benevolence and morality but are incorruptible and shameless? Or is it the country you want to save, the 30,000,000 people who are just struggling to survive? ”

Zhang Enling was sweating profusely, he couldn't imagine that this woman he admired on weekdays would have such sharp words, so that he couldn't say a word of rebuttal. He was instilled by his talented father since he was a child, but he never exhausted the essence of things. He was not stupid, but extremely intelligent. What the Qing Kingdom is like, what the Tang Kingdom is like, at a glance. He grew up in the countryside and has seen many injustices, even if it is his own family, it is not that he has not been oppressed by the government and humiliated by the landlords and bullies in the village.

His old father wanted him to get ahead and shine on the lintel, not staring at the money and power behind the black hat. In the past, there were scholars and those who gained fame, and a few of them really wanted to save the country and the people, not for the glory and wealth of themselves and their families, and they did not call themselves the oppressed party.

In that society, if you don't want to be a person who is oppressed, you can only be a person who oppresses others. This is Zhang's father's expectation for his son, if you want to achieve all this, you must conform to that set of social norms, you must be benevolent, righteous and moral, you must be able to write Bagu articles, and you must be loyal and patriotic.

But is this what Zhang Enling himself depicts?

With his face blushing and his head bowed, his fingers rubbing uneasily, he was dazed, and began to remember. Thinking about his original intention when he first stepped on the steamship to the other side of the ocean. He didn't quite remember what his father said at the time, but what he remembered clearly was that he was admitted to the international student quota of Los Dudo University and got a scholarship, and when he brought it home, his father held the pile of gold coins and couldn't let go for a long time.

He remembered the embarrassment of his neighbors in the village when they were bankrupt and hungry, and remembered the brutal appearance of the soldiers in the government, and remembered too much. He wasn't sure what his father's wish was, or what he had learned since he was a child. He looked at the girl with clear eyes but a little dust on her body, and knew the most important thing in his life - to follow his heart.

Yes, I want to save the country, save this miserable country, and save those miserable people, not to be a loyal dog who is willing to accompany the funeral, not to be a powerful lord. Putting aside those red tape and ritual packaging, what I want is the most primitive gentleman's way.

What is the way of a gentleman?

The benevolent are not worried, the knowers are not confused, and the brave are not afraid.

There are benevolent people, there are people who know how to teach people, and there are people who have the courage to save people.

This is the gentleman's way.

Bai Xin looked at this guy, and the moment he raised his eyes and looked at himself again, the light touched her heart.

The light was familiar to her, for it was the light that had been unique to her father's eyes. (To be continued.) )
