Double Bracelets

Things in this world sometimes change too slowly, so slow that people can't detect them; sometimes they change too quickly, so quickly that people can't accept them.When Jiang Xiyao got married and was promoted later, when he was about to take his new wife to the station, Feng Jun first withdrew from the customs, Fu Fenglang took the opportunity to surrender {9}, and then Zhang Zuolin was bombed to death in Huanggutun.For a moment, the eyes of the whole country were on the young marshal Zhang Xueliang.Of course, including Fu Yuanying.

From what she knew, she pledged her life. Of course, it wasn't her father who sent someone to assassinate Zhang Zuolin. He didn't dare, and wouldn't.But at this time, Zhang Xueliang has no choice but to doubt, even killing the uncle who was a hostage in Fengtian.

Even if she was in a hurry, she could only live a life close to house arrest.Jiang Xize went to the front line again, and Jiang Xijie was really busy all of a sudden.She has to go to school and prepare for the exam. The exam lasts for six days, and she is almost exhausted.Fortunately, no matter what, she finally got admitted to the English Department of Hujiang University together with Wang Jiyue as she wished.Originally, she wanted to take this opportunity to rest and play, but she was busy all summer vacation. She was either taking care of the lives of the Fu family siblings, or negotiating on behalf of her elder brother. School.Only Fu Yuanying, who always showed her face, had nowhere to go and could only stay at home.Finally, this trip was considered to be over, but Wang Jiyue went home to attend the funeral.This trip lasted nearly two months, until the day before yesterday when Xiruan was planning to go to live in school.

It was sweltering in Shanghai at the end of August. The two stood in front of the gate of Hujiang University, waved goodbye to the driver, and stood side by side.Jiang Xijie held the bag in her left hand, and covered her eyebrows with her right hand, "Ah, what a beautiful campus." A lot." Wang Jiyue said while walking forward. "Hey, wait." Jiang Xijie caught up with her, handed her a parasol, and then grabbed the luggage in her hand, "I'll carry it, you open the umbrella. That's it." Then she walked forward happily.

Wang Jiyue just lowered her head and smiled, as if she was used to Jiang Xijie's bravado, she might complain that her arm hurts at night.Many new students just like them passed by on both sides.Although there are students from all corners of the country who come to Hujiang University, they are the only ones who are dressed in splendid clothes like the two of them.Unlike when they were in Chinese and Western girls' schools, they seemed to be more isolated from all living beings.Since Liu Zhanen became the principal, the school has established many work-study programs, and more children from poor families—of course, relatively speaking—began to enter Hujiang University.At that time, Jiang Tongmin was attracted to Liu Zhanen and Hujiang University—in his head that loves Britain and France, he always felt that the education in church schools was the strictest and most comprehensive, and Liu Zhanen's approach could also make his Daughters are exposed to a wider range of people, a wider world.

For Wang Jiyue, there are not so many "noble children" in Hujiang University, and his father may not be thinking about which young master he will marry all day long.Of course it won't happen now, because in her father's eyes, her value lies in her attachment to the Jiang family through attachment to Jiang Xijie.The whole French Concession is rumored how the two should get along.

"Here we are. The girls' dormitory. Women's Hall." Jiang Xijie put down her luggage and took a breath. "Let me come." Wang Jiyue wanted to reach out to pick up her luggage, but Jiang Xijie left without thinking, "I can do it, it's fine." Wang Jiyue looked at her, seeming a little unhappy.No wonder, she originally wanted the two of them to live in a dormitory.It's a pity that they didn't get assigned, the two were separated by a wall.Go up to the third floor, go east to the room at the end, facing south, is Jiang Xijie's bedroom, and her roommate has already come inside.Next door was Wang Jiyue's bedroom, but it was empty.Jiang Xijie put down her luggage, and without saying a word, she carried her things to help Wang Jiyue pack up.Leaving the one in the room looking at {10} with his family, why didn't he even say hello?

This family came earlier, and they also learned from the senior school administrators that the person living with their daughter is Jiang Xijie, the daughter of Jiang Tongmin, a prominent figure in Nanjing. "Heh, you really have the temperament of a young lady." Dangniang was wearing a well-tailored cheongsam, with heavy makeup on, her face could not hide her viciousness, and she didn't know what she did before Congliang.

The dormitory is in good condition, with two single beds, shelves on the wall for personal belongings, and a separate bathroom. The school supplies hot water throughout the day. There is also a small kitchen in the middle of the corridor for the girls to cook for themselves.Pushing open the Gothic wooden windows, one can see the Huangpu River {11} from the side.The wind blew in slowly, blowing the off-white curtains, Wang Jiyue turned her head to look over,

Jiang Xijie became more and more beautiful, and there was almost an inexplicable aura about her.It's inexplicable, but Wang Jiyue still can't find the words to describe it.Seeing her with her elbows on the window sill, her loose long hair being gently blown by the wind, the sunlight almost gilded her pretty outline with a layer of gold, quiet but extremely fascinating.

"I, I'll go back and pack mine first. I'll call you later, let's go to the auditorium together." "Well, good." But the girl was still unhappy when she turned around, alas, Wang Jiyue thought, it's just that they didn't get together , don't do this.

During the ceremony, Liu Zhanen spoke on stage.Although both Jiang Xijie and Wang Jiyue were among the best in the entrance examination, they were naturally not the ones who could speak on behalf of the freshmen.Wang Jiyue was listening carefully to the speech of the people on the stage. The girl mentioned the school motto of Hujiang, Faith, Righteousness, Diligence, and Love. "Well, LIVE, LOVE, GROW." Jiang Xijie said, "The church always puts love in an important position. Oh, not everyone can always love everyone like Jesus Christ."

Wang Jiyue glanced at her with a smile, and there seemed to be a bit of reproach and a bit of love in her eyes, "It's just compassion, and it's not difficult. For example, you, taking care of sister Yuanying and the others a while ago is a kind of love." "Christ willed himself I dedicate my life to everyone, good is good, great is great, but I can't do it." Jiang Xijie curled her lips, frowning, Wang Jiyue was a little annoyed and funny, she turned her head to look at her, wishing to hear her "I can only love one person. If you are good to someone, you will be good to the end, and you will not give up until death. There will be no interruption, and there will be no end until death, so there will be no sadness."

After she finished speaking, she looked at Wang Jiyue, but the other party just had an expression of understanding her thoughts.

Anyway, Wang Jiyue didn't know what she dreamed about, nor did she know that she was entangled and wandering all the time.I wonder why I have such a dream, and what does that dream mean.

However, even if the two are inseparable and aspiring together, when it comes to choosing a career in life, they will naturally be different—Jiang Xijie majored in English literature{12} and minored in economics.While Wang Jiyue is majoring in English education, she is more concerned about education.As soon as college life unfolds, there are occasional quarrels, and the quarrel between the two inevitably leads to this matter-is it education or economic prosperity, which is more important and effective?

Quarrels often lead to such a chicken-and-egg problem—whether high-quality education can be discussed only when money is available, or can the people become rich only when education is popularized. "I don't argue with you. Anyway, every time I argue, I can only apologize first. Why bother if I can't argue with you." The two returned to the dormitory after class, and Jiang Xijie sat on the bed with a slightly dejected look on her face. ——Today, she wrote the composition for three days and was dismissed as useless by the professor. She couldn't help feeling frustrated.It just so happened that Wang Jiyue was in a good mood. After all, she had been praised, and there were activities in the tennis club in the afternoon, so she swaggered her mouth like a razor blade: "Are you timid to fight, Miss San, you can't do this, the new era How can a new woman give in so easily?"

After finishing speaking, she was still sitting beside Jiang Xijie, with a wicked smile on her face. "You!" Jiang Xijie wanted to pretend to be a teapot, but her tutor didn't allow it; she wanted to go back, but she didn't know where to start.It happened that her roommate came back at this time, "Hey, aren't you two going to the tennis club this afternoon?"

Jiang Xijie, this roommate, comes from a scholarly family. Although the middle way is a bit down, and her mother's background is also shady, fortunately, the tutor is good, and the two of them get along peacefully on weekdays. Said to the other party.This girl is short in stature, and she was used to being raised in a deep boudoir by her family since she was a child. She doesn't work hard, so she doesn't know anything about tennis. Jiang Xijie told her, she was curious, so Jiang Xijie explained,

"...Yes, take a break and let's change clothes. I've been tired for several days, exercise!" She lay on her back, her tired and ladylike posture can only be seen in the dormitory.Wang Jiyue smiled, and didn't intend to continue to tease her, so she patted her thigh lightly and said, "Go to sleep for a while, I'll tell you to go when the time comes."

However, Jiang Xijie, who didn't wake up, went to the tennis court in the afternoon and hated her decision to the core—what kind of tennis is she playing on a hot day?I'm going to die in the sun.But Wang Jiyue likes it, and she can't do it if she doesn't come—who told her to play everything when she was in Tianjin, ah, playing tennis and riding horses is nothing, she, Miss Jiang San, is the one who has played sex.

What's more, she doesn't like others to teach Wang Jiyue to play tennis, and she feels uncomfortable when she thinks that someone will teach her by hand.

The author has something to say:

{9}Again, I made it up.As far as I know, no one surrendered from Fengjun at that time.

{10}Because I couldn't find any old photos of the dormitory of Hujiang University, from here on all the internal settings of the dormitory refer to Yenching University, which is also a church school.According to research, the Yanda dormitory is a two-person room.But I also saw pictures of quadruple rooms.In the end, I decided to write it as a two-person room.

{11} Theoretically, it can be seen that next to Hujiang University is a tributary of the Huangpu River, then Fuxing Island, and further east is the Huangpu River.

{12} The subject setting also refers to Yenching University and other historical materials, so it is a combo.
