Mr. Minguo's kitchen

Lin Fuxuan carried a book borrowed from the library and walked through the campus with an oil-paper umbrella. The girl wore the most plain blue dress and black dress without makeup, but her beautiful face and cool temperament seemed more and more out of date in the haze of mist and rain. Independence has attracted the attention of many students.But not everyone appreciates it.

Lin Fuxuan looked suspiciously at the woman who blocked her way in front of her. The woman had curly hair in Western style and was wearing a lace dress that could only be afforded by wealthy families. Her skin was ringing in the rain, her round face was white, and she was pretty. But the arrogance on his face spoiled the beauty.

"What does this lady want from me?"

Kong Shiying looked her up and down, and when she saw her muddy and slightly patched skirt, a slight contempt flashed in her eyes, and when she looked up at her face carefully, this superior contempt added a little more Annoyed with exasperation.

A seductive vixen everywhere!

"You are Lin Fuxuan?"

No matter how dull Lin Fuxuan was, she still felt that the visitor was not kind, not to mention that this young lady didn't seem to have any intention of hiding her malicious intentions, and immediately turned cold, "Miss's teacher didn't tell you that before asking someone's name, you need to report yourself first." name?"

"You!" Kong Shiying didn't expect this woman to be so sharp-tongued, and she was even a little annoyed.Seeing this, the two maids next to her also stood up and said, "Don't even look at who our lady is? You, a low-ranking maid from the countryside, are you worthy of calling our lady by her name?"

"That's right, miss asked you the answer is yes, don't talk too much nonsense."

Lin Fuxuan laughed angrily, "Why, isn't your lady the Princess Gege of the previous court, who can't call her by her name directly, and has to kneel down when she meets her? I don't know how long this lady has stayed in the boudoir without going out, so that even before The dynasty is gone, and now it is the era of freedom and equality for all in the Republic of China, and we don’t even know it.”

The students who passed by laughed when they heard it, but no, now that the Republic of China was established, the slogan of equality for all is being shouted in society, especially among the students who accept the trend of progress.Even if there are still class differences in fact, at least on the surface it cannot be expressed so straightforwardly.It would really be contemptuous if one still practiced the set of high and low in a superior manner.Unexpectedly, this young lady was dressed in such a trendy dress, but she was still full of feudal dross, and everyone couldn't help casting a strange and contemptuous look.

Kong Shiying's beautiful face was almost distorted by the eyes of the people around her and Lin Fuxuan's words, and she said directly: "What a girl with a sharp tongue, I don't know how many men you have won the favor of with this sharp mouth. This woman, a little She looks a bit pretty, but she thinks she can seduce a man to fly on a branch and turn into a phoenix, and she uses all her means to seduce other people's fiancés, and she doesn't even look where she came from."

What she said was short of directly saying that Lin Fuxuan had shamelessly seduced someone else's fiance.

Splashing such a pot of dirty water on her body will undoubtedly ruin any woman in this conservative era, let alone on the school road where people come and go.Lin Fuxuan was naturally furious, "Miss, I don't know you, let alone your fiancé, but when you show up, you speak empty teeth and slander me for no reason. If you don't, I apologize, and I will go to the police station to talk to you." You talked about it."

Kong Shiying raised her red lips and said with a mocking smile: "You said I slandered you? You still have to go to the police station to argue with me, what a joke! Oh, then do you know Yanxi? Let me tell you, Yanxi is my fiancé, We are going to get engaged in a few days. You'd better stay away from Yanxi in the future, or I will visit your principal and let him judge. Will a student with a bad academic style affect the reputation of the school..."

"It's impossible! Yanxi doesn't have a so-called fiancée at all, and he and I..." After all, she was a girl with a thin skin, and she didn't say that they were a legitimate relationship between boyfriend and girlfriend.

But this is enough for Kong Shiying to make use of the topic, "Hey, yo, don't be shameless. I am a cousin of Changfu, and I am a childhood sweetheart of Yanxi. The two adults have already agreed, so I am naturally cousin Yanxi. A serious fiancee. As for you, you are just a plaything, man. If you don’t want to be kicked out of Beiping City, then give me some advice and stay away from Yanxi.”

Pedestrians talked a lot, the rain was getting heavier, and the thin oil-paper umbrella could no longer withstand the torrential rain, and fell from the owner's hand to the ground...

On this day, the fiancée of the eldest son of the Chang family approached a talented woman from the Beiping Women's Normal School, and the news that two women competed against one man was staged, and the news quickly spread throughout the circle.

Some people say that Lin Fuxuan has no sense of shame, and that a fiancee who seduces others deserves to be found; In the past, Lin Fuxuan was probably kept in the dark because of her fame.

Everywhere she went, there were people pointing and pointing, and some even threw rotten eggs at her. Lin Fuxuan's life was in dire straits and became unbearably disturbed. Even her teachers began to talk to her.

Lin Fuxuan was so confused by Kong Shiying's news that day that she didn't even know how to get back to the dormitory. Later, she realized that she even forgot to go to work in the tailor shop. she.

After the proprietress found out about this, she was very indignant, but she still persuaded Lin Fuxuan not to worry about those rumors. What Miss Kong said may not be the truth of the matter, the most urgent thing is to ask Chang Yanxi.

However, the person who used to haunt and haunt Lin Fuxuan from time to time was nowhere to be found.Lin Fuxuan wanted to find someone, but found that she knew nothing about many things about Yanxi, and she didn't even know their home address and phone number.After inquiring about the address of the Governor's Mansion, Lin Fuxuan ignored the strange eyes of others and guarded under a banyan tree in front of the Governor's Mansion for a day, but was finally driven away by the guards without seeing the person she was looking for.

After returning home, Lin Fuxuan immediately contracted the cold and fell ill due to the excessive cold wind.The next day, the president of the Progressive Poetry Club came to visit her, and he was a witness to the relationship between the two.

The sick beauty was haggard and pitiful. The first time he saw Lin Fuxuan, he sighed and said, "I don't know about this either. If...well, let him tell you."

He gave Lin Fuxuan a phone number, "This is the inside line of the Governor's Mansion."

Lin Fuxuan thanked him, but she did not call immediately, but leaned on the bed, took out a collection of poems from under the pillow, and looked through it. It was a collection of Tagore's poems that Chang Yanxi gave her. It is old, and there are traces of a lot of flipping, but there is no curl on the pages. It can be seen that the owner cherishes it very much on weekdays, and he must fold it neatly every time he reads it.

In the silent night, under the dim light, a girl's soft voice sounded——

"The birds of summer, flew to my bed and sang, and flew away again.

The dead leaves in autumn, they have nothing to sing, they just sigh, where do they fly down...

If you weep for losing the sun, you will lose the stars too..."

The rumors outside became more and more intense, and some people even made rumors that Lin Fuxuan was messing around with men and women. Don't look at the superficial appearance, but in fact, she was debauched and corrupt in private. She spoke in a decent way, as if she was there at the time.Three people become tigers, not to mention that there are more than three people spreading the word now. Some sensitive people, such as the tailor shop owner's wife, have already noticed that the cousin must be behind it.

But Lin Fuxuan, who was recovering from illness, thanked guests behind closed doors, devoted herself to reading, and ignored other people's comments, as if she didn't care about them at all.

A few days later, Lin Fuxuan, who had recovered from her illness, went to the phone shop and dialed the number of Dudufu. After a long beep, a somewhat arrogant male voice rang out: "Dudufu, who is it?"

"Hello, I'm Chang Yanxi's classmate, please ask him to answer the phone."

"Our Eldest Young Master is busy preparing for the engagement, so how can we have time to deal with you female students of unknown background?" When he hung up the phone, Lin Fuxuan vaguely heard him say, "The current female students, Everyone has no sense of shame, what books are they still reading..."

She pursed her lips tightly, with bluish and white marks on her finger bones, and handed the phone to the proprietress. Seeing that the female student looked like she was about to cry, the proprietress kindly advised: "If you want to be open about everything, don't take advantage of it." Tip. You female college students were born in a good age when you can go to school. You will be the main force in the construction of the Republic of China in the future. You have a bright future! Unlike those of us who were born early, with bound feet, parents make decisions, and wrap headscarves So he got married in a daze."

Although Lin Fuxuan's face was pale, she still smiled and thanked the proprietress. Her back was fragile, but her steps became more and more determined.

Lin Fuxuan didn't try to find Chang Yanxi anymore, she just read books and worked in peace, but obviously, someone was unwilling to settle down and let her go.When the teacher came to the door for the second time, and they were all together, Lin Fuxuan vaguely knew that she might be targeted.

In the tailor shop, the proprietress put down the needle and thread in her hand, with an angry look on her face: "They actually let you drop out of school?! Just because of this bloody reason that affects the school spirit?"

Maybe there was a commotion in the principal's office, but Lin Fuxuan was much calmer than her at this time, "Yes, Aunt Lan."

After listening to Aunt Lan, she fell down on the chair, her face full of distress, "Is there no other way? You are still so young, if you are expelled from the school, where can you go? Other schools must also be expelled by that school. Miss Jia Biao was bought, in this world..."

Lin Fuxuan saw that her expression was not right, so she quickly supported her and helped her calm down, "Aunt Lan, don't get excited, there will always be a way!"

Aunt Lan quickly recovered from her thoughts, patted her hand, and let her sit beside her.Although the two were eighteen or nineteen years apart, they had a strong relationship. Aunt Lan, who had no children, always treated Lin Fuxuan as her daughter.Aunt Lan is actually only in her early thirties. Although she has good facial features, she has been doing housework all year round. She looks like someone in her 40s, with rough calluses on her hands that were pricked by needles from too many tailors.

The two leaned on each other, suddenly Aunt Lan sighed and said, "I was actually married..."

Lin Fuxuan looked at Aunt Lan in surprise. In her eyes, Aunt Lan had always lived alone and had never met any other family members.

"Listen to me first. I was married, but I was divorced. The reason for being divorced is very interesting..."

Aunt Lan's husband's family was neither poor nor rich, and he was also from a mud-legged background, but her husband was a well-known literary talent with a handsome appearance.The old lady of the husband's family saw that the eldest son who was engaged in a progressive career outside the country had not yet married, so she found a daughter-in-law by herself, and then tricked the eldest son who was away to come back to marry him with the news of his serious illness.

Although the eldest son was unwilling at first, but later said that he did not want to violate filial piety, so he followed the old lady's wishes and got married. On the day of the wedding, the couple said two words in total - "Are you going to sleep? "Well", not long after the marriage, Aunt Lan's husband left.

The old lady blamed the new daughter-in-law for not being able to keep the eldest son's heart, and became increasingly harsh and hard-working. Later, when she saw that Aunt Lan's stomach was not moving, she intensified and started looking for some concubines for the second son.Aunt Lan can only take better care of the old lady and a bunch of people in the house, she doesn't dare to complain at all, and she doesn't stop sewing when she is free - Aunt Lan is a well-known clothes maker in the town with a radius of ten miles. Subsidize some households.

The concubine did not come in at last, not because her husband refused, but because this new-style literati claimed to have found the true love of his life and was going to be a lifelong partner with that woman.That woman is a new-style female gentleman who has returned from studying abroad. Her parents are all working in the government. Although she looks ordinary, she is said to be a talented woman, and she is also very talented.

At this time, the poor wife who occupies the seat of the main room in her hometown is very annoying.The young lady of that family was unwilling to be a concubine no matter what, and Aunt Lan's husband was also reluctant, so he found a high-sounding reason for nothing, and ended a woman's life with a divorce letter.From the beginning to the end, Aunt Lan, who was a diligent wife, only waited for a letter of divorce, and she didn't even see her husband.

Lin Fuxuan did not expect that the plain and calm Aunt Lan had such a tragic past. When she said it, she was as plain as water, but Lin Fuxuan felt that every word was crying blood, and her voice was heartbreaking.

"My mother's family heard the news and thought I was ashamed of the family and severed ties with me. I had nowhere to go, and later on, every time I went to work, people made things difficult for me. I knew it at that time, I'm afraid that Miss Hu can't tolerate me as an ex-wife, after all, as long as I'm around, people will remember that her husband is a second marriage. I had no choice but to leave far away and come to Peiping."

"So, hearing what happened to you, it's as if I saw the me back then. I also met bad people and was persecuted by power."

Lin Fuxuan was sad, and Aunt Lan said again: "Through the matter now, that cousin is probably the same as my ex-husband's new wife, who can't tolerate a grain of sand. Fuxuan, do you have other places to go or someone you can rely on? "

Lin Fuxuan thought for a while, then nodded, "I have a cousin who is currently in Fengtian, and I will send him a telegram."
