Double Bracelets

"Unexpectedly, Ms. Yang's student is Brother Shaoxun's daughter." The four of them sat down, and Jiang Tongmin said with a smile, "In Nanjing, I only knew that Brother Shaoxun had a son who liked to tinker with telegrams and radios. He is loved by dignitaries in the military circle. Jiang has only heard from Li Renchao once that Brother Shao Xun has a daughter, but he has not been with him since he was a child, so no one has seen her. Today is really lucky." Wang Jiyue smiled. After a while, he said lightly, "My father didn't want Jiyue and his younger brother to show their faces since they were young. He was afraid of accidents, so he stayed in his hometown in Suzhou and was raised by his uncle. Until he was 12 years old, he felt safe. My mother also felt that the education in Shanghai was better. That’s when the whole family moved to Shanghai. I don’t dare to say that it’s the Wang family on weekdays. So..."

"Jiyue, Ms. Jiang will start class next week. I have arranged for her to join your class. If there is anything, you can help her, okay?" Yang Xizhen looked at Wang Jiyue with a smile, and Jiang Xijie also smiled, A friendly and harmless look.Wang Jiyue felt a little confused: Although Yang Xizhen is not a person who does not "ruin his brows and bend his waist to serve the powerful", is this behavior to please Jiang Tongmin?But Jiang Tongmin is not an official in charge of education.Secondly, what is the need for Jiang Tongmin's current status?If you want to get Jiang Xijie in, you don't need to pay a visit to the dean. Is this Miss Jiang really useless?

"Jiyue should try her best." "Everywhere, they are all classmates, learn from each other!" Jiang Xijie was sensitive to the strange sense of humbleness in Wang Jiyue's words. Her father had always taught her to put away the temper of the official lady, no matter what the other party was People from all backgrounds should be treated as equals, and they immediately talked nonsense to smooth things over, "I'm new here, and I'm not familiar with many places, and I may not be able to keep up with my schoolwork. I would like to ask Ms. Wang to give me some advice. If Ms. Wang needs help, I will help you." also,"

"I see you, it would be nice to learn how to be a decent lady from others." Jiang Tongmin said, everyone was stunned for a moment, and in a flash, Jiang Xijie yelled resentfully, "Father!"

Jiang's father and daughter sat for a while and then left. When they were delivered to the door, Jiang Xijie still gave Wang Jiyue a lively smile and waved goodbye.Wang Jiyue had no choice but to stare at her and watch her get into the car and leave the Yang residence.This Jiang Xijie is a little different, she thought.Perhaps it is indeed different. After all, the ancestors of the Jiang family were Jinshi in the Qing Dynasty. The old man Jiang was the governor of the late Qing Dynasty, the special envoy for visiting, and later the foreign minister of Beiyang. The person that Pai tried his best to win over, to put it bluntly, in this brand new Republic of China, the Jiang family not only has a reputation in politics, but also is almost absolutely correct.

And her?The rhetoric just now was just a deceptive version, and she and her brother knew the actual situation: Wang Shaoxun had a bad reputation.But he has served all the warlords who are related to Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui, and in the process of dealing with them, he showed up and performed a "knife-cut tofu with two sides".At the same time, Wang Shaoxun can be said to have sold everything for his own survival.In the past, I didn't bring my family by my side because I didn't want to expose my weakness. Later, I brought myself by my side in order to marry myself off at any time.Whether it is an aunt, a daughter, or a brother's property, they are all weights that can be used in political exchanges.It seems that my life has been serving all kinds of transactions until now.

She doesn't want this.The compatriot brother Hao Peng chose to go to Nanjing with his father to win the appreciation of important military personnel because he wanted to break free from the shackles brought by his father. Shouldn't he also think of a way?

I remembered that day when I saw Hao Peng playing with those machines that she didn’t understand, and when I asked him why he liked these machines so much, he said, “Sister, I like these, but not only, I don’t want to be like my father, and I don’t want to be like my uncle. Same, I just want to have my own strength and lead my own life."

Thinking this way, Wang Jiyue, who was sitting in the rickshaw, thought, if her father came back and told him that she was now a classmate of Jiang Xijie, the only daughter of the Jiang family, he would definitely say, then you will stay by her side, follow her all the time, and accompany her. looking at her.It was like a tentacle of his father, tightly sticking to Jiang Xijie's side.It was as if he could rely on the Jiang family closely through this relationship.

"Jiyue is back. It's hot and hard." Back at Lafayette Road's home, his father's fourth concubine, Mrs. Sun, met him. Wang Jiyue just nodded and answered without saying much, and hurried upstairs. Hide in your room.The fourth concubine is here, the mother has returned to Suzhou, and the father and Hao Peng have gone to Nanjing, and it seems that the second concubine is also brought along, so what about the third concubine?

Hearing the knock on the door, she turned around and heard a familiar and old voice at the door, "Miss." "Come in." It was Xu Ma, the old maid at home, "Xu Ma, where is the third aunt?" "The third lady should be Let's go play cards, I went out in the morning, and I don't know when." Before finishing speaking, the master and servant heard a series of shouts and commotion downstairs, Wang Jiyue sighed, alas, it can be seen that she is back. "Mother Xu," "Hey." "Help me bring my dinner up, I don't want to go down. If they ask, just say that I'm not feeling well from the heat during the day. Don't let anyone come up and quarrel with me." Good miss."

The aunts and wives were playing mahjong downstairs, making a lot of noise all night.Wang Jiyue has nothing to do with them, she has already forgotten who the third concubine and the fourth concubine are related to which important person's wife or concubine, or both are related, in short, the marriage is not for nothing.Turned Monday, Wang Jiyue, who didn't sleep well on the weekend, was almost late. Fortunately, the rickshaw ran fast. Should I ask my father to prepare a driver and a car for myself, but if I did, it would be another superficial harmony with my aunts and wives. The scheming dispute behind the scenes, the more I think about it,

"Morning." She turned her head and saw Jiang Xijie wearing a blue cheongsam school uniform, "It's great, I can meet you on the first day, otherwise I'm afraid I won't be able to find the classroom."

For some reason, even though she was eager to go to class at this time, Wang Jiyue still wanted to stop at Jiang Xijie's beauty at the moment.When I saw her the day before yesterday, it was a low-key coquetry, like azaleas looming in the bushes; but now she is obediently wearing a school uniform and wearing a bun, she is completely pure and low-key, as white as a camellia, which only makes people feel pure and beautiful.

In fact, Jiang Xijie lied.It wasn't all lies, but she really didn't meet Wang Jiyue by chance, she waited at the door for a long time on purpose.The reason is simple. I really can't find the classroom. Thinking of someone who can take me there directly, why not do it?After all, after all, this person himself also likes it.

When they first met that day, Jiang Xijie and her father heard the voice of a child reading English in the study room in the living room, and asked curiously what it was, so Yang Xizhen told the truth.Jiang Xijie was very curious about who this volunteer teacher Wang Jiyue was.Jiyue, when she heard this name, she did think of the scenery of the bright moon in the sky, and when the real person in the plain white cheongsam came out, the word that popped into her mind was, water lotus.

Wang Jiyue's eyes are very big, Gu Pansheng has a pair of almond eyes, and they are not as hazy as her own. Her eyes are very clear, with a creamy nose, a mouth with downturned lips, and straight eyebrows with appropriate shades. Everyone looks like IKEA.That day she wore a simple bun and dressed plainly, neither looking poor nor pompous, making people feel that everything was just right.If it wasn't for someone's introduction, Jiang Xijie would never have guessed that this is the daughter of the local snake king Shaoxun of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and also the niece of Wang Jianxun, a great businessman in the south of the Yangtze River.Who made Jiyue's uncle so famous? Of course, Jiyue's cousin Wang Haoxiu is even more famous—Jiang Xijie knew Wang Haoxiu's reputation before coming to Shanghai, how many actors he raised, how much he smoked, and how many juniors he played. It is said that the "gentlemen" of the Tangzi also have a good relationship with the third young master Xu of the Xu family who supported the Kuomintang a lot.

Speaking of the Xu family, Xu Dexin. . .

"Morning, Miss Jiang." Wang Jiyue responded neither humble nor overbearing, and motioned for her to come with her.Jiang Xijie was happy to keep up, and said as she walked, "You don't have to be polite to me, just call me Xijie. We are classmates anyway, so why be polite." He took a step to the right and caught up with Jiyue The footsteps walked side by side with her. "Okay... Xijie."

Jiang Xijie was as happy as if she had sugar.The two walked quickly to the North Garden.The classroom is on the third floor, and as soon as I entered the stairs, I met a tall Caucasian woman.Wang Jiyue said good morning to her, the man smiled brightly at Jiyue, and opened his mouth to speak a strange Chinese mixed with accents from the north and the south: "Jiyue, is this our new student?" Wang Jiyue nodded.When Jiang Xijie found out that it was the teacher, she wanted to stop and say hello, but Wang Jiyue grabbed her and took her upstairs.

"What's the matter??" After finally sitting down, Jiang Xijie asked Wang Jiyue, who was still out of breath, "That... Ms. Thurston is just... just..." Before she could finish speaking, Jiang Xijie saw the Caucasian woman walk in.Look at the clock, it's delayed by 1 minute.Could it be that because he saw them on the stairs just now, he deliberately walked slowly so that they would not be late and appear awkward?

The Caucasian woman on the podium was tall, with broad shoulders, high nose and deep eyes—the high nose made Jiang Xijie feel that she was the Scandinavian mountains in Northern Europe.But looking at her blond hair and blue eyes, she looks a bit like the Nordic people I heard from my grandfather.

It so happened that this Nordic woman was still talking about Chinese geography.All the way to the class, she said that she has been here, how she likes it, and she has not been there, how she yearns for it.Coincidentally, when it came to Tianjin, I asked if anyone here knew about it. Jiang Xijie raised her hand at this time, and the two chatted in class.

Wang Jiyue looked at her in a daze.
