Wu Baosheng returned to the dormitory of the South Courtyard with a female freshman, named Li Hui, who looked very lively and combed two small braids.

While walking, Wu Baosheng asked her, "Which department are you from?" ”

"Geology!" Li Hui replied happily and said: "My father is the head of the Ministry of Engineering and has been dealing with mines all his life, so I applied to the Department of Geology. ”

"How many siblings do you have?" Wu Baosheng saw that she liked to talk, so he simply continued to chat.

"Six." Li Hui jumped up, "I'm the youngest, my fifth brother Li Ji and I are still students, the eldest brother and the second brother have already come out, the third sister is married, and only the fourth sister is sick and died." ”

"Do you want to go home when you go to school alone?"

"I don't know, maybe I want to, maybe I don't want to, there are big rules at home, and I'm very happy to be able to leave home. I'm not alone, I don't have an older brother, he's also a new student, and I have my brother as my company. ”

"Also a freshman?" Wu Baosheng was happy for her, it was undoubtedly much more convenient for girls to be accompanied, but unexpectedly provoked Li Hui's proud words.

"Li Ji! You didn't see it? The tallest, the most handsome, and the most imposing of men. Li Hui also seemed to be aware of the suspicion of Wang Po selling melons, and said: "In short, he is a very good person, he will always be the first in the Jinling exam." This time, my father came to Sichuan to be an official and sent him to Yunnan to study, if it wasn't for a year's delay, he was one class higher than me, and I was studying at Jinling Women's Normal School. ”

There are many Liaodong students in the school, and the students of the Jinling department think very highly of themselves and look down on people, Wu Baosheng is a little disgusted by this, seeing that she also looks superior, she frowned and said: "The sister sent to me didn't come, she is also from Jinling, she is very young, and she has the opportunity to introduce you to her." ”

"What's her name? Are you good-looking? ”

"I didn't come today, I'll tell you when the name comes, I didn't see the person."

"Learn what?"

"Literature."

"Literature? Oh, that must be a big girl. Exams are a little easier, right? ”

Wu Baosheng was reluctant to pierce Li Hui's arrogance with harsh words. "I don't know, the exam is based on the overall average score to get in, but the literature department has one less subject of arithmetic." ”

Li Hui wanted to say something, Wu Baosheng made it clear that she would inevitably touch the nail, such as Zhang Lianyi's overall average score, which surpassed the first place in Jinling Women's College, so she said: "In the future, I will call you Xiaohui." ”

"Okay." Li Hui has a lot to say, "Since I entered the school, everyone has always called me Xiaohui, because I have always been the youngest in the class. ”

"Alright." Wu Baosheng stopped. "Upstairs is the Fourteenth, and your room is the Fourteenth, right?"

"How do you know?" Li Hui was surprised.

"You have a lodging permit in your hand, and you have seen it." Wu Baosheng smiled, "Now go upstairs, there is the passage to the small courtyard, turn left is the bathroom, turn right and wait for you to know." ”

Li Hui smiled and said, "It must be a stinky latrine." ”

"Girl's, don't shout like that. Well, I live on the eleven. You can come to me if you have something. Wu Baosheng sent her away amicably, and said in his heart that such a child was sent to Shen Jia, so how could she bring it?

Pushing open the door, a light aroma wafted into my nose. Wu Baosheng knew that it must be Zhang Lianyi, because there were only three people living in her room, and the other Shi Xuanwen had not yet come.

I saw that there were empty beds in the room, including the other two beds. The sheets were neatly laid out, and the pillows were as white as snow with a dark green rim. A lake-green brocade quilt is not luxurious but not shabby.

On the bookshelf there are a dozen chic notebooks, the books wrapped in thick green paper covers; On the table was a white muslin tablecloth with green edges, and a crimson porcelain vase with pink caryophyllus flowers.

In the middle of a thick booklet, a set of Huizhou scholar's four treasures in front of the book, the curtains were replaced with elegant Hunan embroidery, the corners of the window sills, tables, chairs and benches were wiped clean.

A charming girl stood up politely, her eyes were a little red, and she cried when there was obviously no one, after all, she had to study alone in Yunnan for three years.

The family didn't understand why Ripples was sent to Yunnan, Xu Hao didn't explain, he wanted to give Ripples a precious memory that he would never forget, and Xiao Yezi was sent to Hangzhou Academy of Fine Arts.

"What a rare beauty." Wu Baosheng couldn't help but admire.

It seems that the ripples are very attractive to her eyes, or maybe it is a special identity, anyway, Wu Baosheng loves it very much, seeing the tears on the other party's face, he can't bear to ask her why she is sad, for fear of making her cry again.

Undoubtedly, Wu Baosheng was confused by the appearance of the ripples, seeing her standing there in a proper manner, the little pitiful child didn't know what to say, and felt more and more pity, for fear that the little girl was afraid of life, and her tone was very gentle and approachable.

Unexpectedly, such a careful greeting still frightened the ripples with the appearance of an angel, and said timidly: "I've been here for half an hour, trying to clean up the house, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" ”

"Really!" Wu Baosheng, who was completely confused, simply sighed, and said softly: "Don't be so careful, you are my little sister." Come, let's sit down and talk, we're not human! ”

stepped forward and sat down on her new and beautiful bed sheet with her rippled little hands, like a real sister, and said with a smile: "I already knew you, the capital is no less famous than the princess, and Mr. Xu's pearl in the palm." My name is Wu Baosheng, Princess Shu is my aunt, speaking of which you and I are also relatives, and now I am your big sister. ”

"Sister." The newly arrived ripples immediately screamed, still timid, as if with infinite surprise.

lowered his eyelids, ripples pinched Wu Baosheng's soft and boneless hands, pinching and pinching, as if to tell each other, I am so happy to have such a beautiful and gentle sister as you.

Wu Baosheng didn't see the cunning in the other party's eyes, only saw the round shoulders and beautiful hair when he hung his head.

Talking to each other about their daughter's affectionate words, Ripple said heartily: "I'm so happy, sister, I'm so happy!" I was so happy. ”

Wu Baosheng smiled: "I was homesick just now, right?" ”

"Nope." Ripple was suddenly overwhelmed, "No, no, I also thought a little." ”

"Don't talk about it." Wu Baosheng put the other party's small hand on his face, "I saw your tears, and I saw you so careful, I really want to, I really want to." Actually, I cry sometimes. ”

"Huh!" Ripple smiled playfully, feeling her kindness, and didn't want to be cautious, and talked about the two boys he met in the morning, and told him why he didn't go to the orientation party.

Wu Baosheng listened carefully, looking like a kind mother, and the lovely girl in front of her only got along with her for a few minutes, which actually attracted a delicate and subtle psychology that she had never had.

Wu Baosheng's childhood was not happy, his mother died early, and his father married his stepmother. The family is intrigued, and they have tasted the warmth and coldness of the world at a young age. Her beauty is innate, but she herself has never felt that in order to study, she has worked too hard since she was a child, and she is too smart, keeping in mind the teachings of the King of Shu, and her heart must be as clear as a mirror.

The new school gave her three years of unconcerned student life, smiling happily every day. Dreaming happily, at this moment, in front of this bright girl with a bright complexion who is more beautiful than her, she has found another happiness for girls, which she has been pursuing. The favor of the family.

This kind of happiness is like a sultry miscanthus, stirring the heart of her daughter who is not worldly and non-earthly, and she was stunned to see the ripples for a while, and suddenly said: "I really envy you." ”

Suddenly, someone downstairs shouted, "Miss Wu." Miss Zhang, Mr. Lu is looking for you, in the reception room. ”

The two looked at each other and smiled. went downstairs together, Mr. Lu accompanied Xu Hao and his wife to talk, and the ripples flew down the stairs in an instant, threw himself into his aunt's arms, and couldn't push away.

Xu Hao suddenly smiled, and said to Wu Baosheng, who was a little restrained: "Miss Wu is very good, and her homework and conduct are all first-class characters, and I will trouble you to take care of my ripples in the future." ”

"The younger generation doesn't dare to be." Wu Baosheng was flattered.

Mu Ningxue said with a smile: "Ripples, handsome for more than ten years, can be compared to Miss Wu." ”

Ripple only smiled and didn't speak when he heard this, Wu Baosheng hurriedly said: "How dare Pu Liu's posture be compared with my sister." ”

Ripple said, "My sister is really beautiful. ”

"Miss Wu, you have to be careful of my family's rippling ecstasy soup in the future!" Mu Ningxue kindly reminded and asked, "Don't you miss home?" ”

Xu Hao also looked at her seriously with a joking gaze, only to see Ripple nod slightly, and then lowered it again.

Mu Ningxue reluctantly pushed her up, and said with a smile: "With sisters, I will have to stay at school in a few days and don't want to go home." Because she regards Ripples as her daughter, the mother said that she felt a little sad when she married her daughter, "Don't hug me, they all went to college, and they are big girls." ”

Bidding farewell to the ripples of reluctance, Xu Hao and his wife returned to their residence. At night, Mu Ningxue suddenly asked, "I don't know why my husband is so keen on running a school?" ”

Xu Hao, who was lying down, hugged his wife and said: "Without him, the Four Books and Five Classics are long outdated, and if you don't change resolutely, sooner or later you will be eliminated by this world." ”

"Are you alarmist?" Mu Ningxue said softly.

"How so?" Xu Hao thought for a while, "I am deeply disappointed in Guozijian, do you know that there have been universities in Europe for a long time, the University of Toulouse in France, the Sorbonne Theological Seminary in Paris, the University of Oxford and Cambridge in London, which bring together outstanding talents from their own countries, just like our various disciplines. Nowadays, the students' papers, the Hanlin Academy actually said that they are the same as the book of heaven, and they can't understand it at all, and it has only been a few years, and so many words have been created? If it is still under the framework of the Eight Strands, the hundred schools of thought will only decline more and more, and the society will be like a day for thousands of years.

Although the current European Yiqiē is based on the doctrine of the Bible, similar to our Confucianism dominating the world, as society develops, it will not long be brewing a storm of intellectual and spiritual liberation that will completely change the whole world. You can never imagine that a ship made of steel can still fly in the sky, and a thousand-mile road can be reached in a few hours. ”

Mu Ningxue asked, "Why are you so convinced?" Could it be that the husband is really a god-man? ”

"It's just a mere man." Xu Hao smiled: "Isn't the current change enough to prove it?" As the saying goes, be prepared for danger in times of peace, the sages left us priceless wealth, as a descendant, we should continue to create a zào, instead of sitting back and enjoying its success, not thinking of forging ahead, once it is surpassed by a foreign race, the heavenly kingdom has become the sick man of East Asia, so how will our descendants view us?
