The last time I saw Wan's letter was in March, and I don't know if it was because the word "read" she replied successfully made her angry, or because there was a war in the places along the way, the letter was delayed on the road for a few days, and this letter actually came after so long.

Wen Jianning opened the envelope, and the familiar smell of light pink stationery and Parisian perfume was still familiar.

Seeing that Wan still does not change her old problem of showing off in this letter, she is still bragging about how she is sought after by men in the Shanghai beach social scene. However, compared with the previous letter, Wen Jianning could still see the faint sense of anxiety between the lines, probably because the Wen family was replanning her marriage. After all, seeing that Wan was still young and beautiful, it was impossible for the Wen family to let her go on like this forever.

The Wen family has not been doing very well lately, as the Japanese army recently captured Huaicheng. The big families in the city all ran away, and the people from the Wen family's old house also hurried to the French Concession in Shanghai for refuge. Mrs. Wen is very old, and she can't stand the bumps and tosses all the way, and she disappeared within two or three days after arriving at the Wen Mansion, which made everyone feel very unlucky.

But after all, he is an elder, and he is already dead, so everyone can't say anything, so they can only pinch their noses and hurry up to organize a funeral for his old man. I didn't want to be at this juncture, the third aunt and grandmother who came to Shanghai with the old lady suddenly cut their wrists and died. Before she died, she left a suicide note, saying that she was going to follow the old lady.

The Wen family was angry and funny, Mrs. Wen collapsed on the rocking chair many years ago and couldn't move, her aunt who couldn't get on the stage was already old, and what kind of talented and beautiful woman did she learn to be martyred. But no matter how dissatisfied they are, they still have to bury the third aunt and grandmother, after all, people are affectionate and righteous, if they don't give affection again, they will become wicked people if they spread it.

Wen Jianning has been in the old mansion for a short time, and her impression of the third aunt has long been blurred, if it weren't for Jianwan suddenly mentioning it in the letter this time, I'm afraid that in a few years, in her memory, the shadow that stood outside the gate of the Wen Mansion many years ago and watched the car carrying them go away would also be worn away by time.

For the third aunt and grandmother, perhaps it is the best choice to go with Mrs. Wen early.

The Wen family is such a cold-hearted family, she is an old aunt who has no reliance on staying there, and in the days to come, she will inevitably have to look at people's faces everywhere, and if she barely lives for more than ten or twenty years, she will just endure humiliation and steal her life.

To Wen Jianning's surprise, Jianwan had such a mean temperament, but it was rare that he didn't say anything cool about the matter of the third aunt and grandmother, but instead revealed a bit of depression. Wen Jianning remembered that Jianwan's mother was just an aunt, and she had a difficult birth when she gave birth to her, and the eldest wife was unwilling to support her, and when Jianwan was young, she was taken care of by the third aunt and grandmother.

Wen Jianning paused for a moment, and then continued to read.

The successive funerals of the Wen Mansion in the French Concession made Jianwan feel bad, and she turned around and went to Hong Kong Island to relax.

Although Mrs. Wen died, Mei Shan, who was nominally his aunt's wife, still refused to go back to Shanghai for funeral, and stayed in the mid-level villa to get drunk and dream of death. However, a few times when I went back to the car after the banquet, I saw Mei Shan crying in the dark night outside the car window. Although I don't know what she is crying about, I also know that these tears will definitely not be shed for Mrs. Wen.

Jianwan mentioned in the letter that Jianxiu is now very addicted to smoking, and he has lost a lot of weight. She also heard that Jianxiu and Yan Tingchen were playing their own games, but Jianxiu seemed to be in good spirits recently, and the whole person was radiant, so she didn't ask too much.

In addition to these trivial matters, for Jianwan, the biggest gain from returning to Hong Kong this time is that she met her ex-boyfriend Lu Jiajun again.

Earlier, when she was still in Shanghai, she heard that he and the daughter surnamed Zhao had a bad married life, and after this reunion, it was really the case. She deliberately pretended to be open-minded, and gently and generously persuaded Lu Jiajun a few words, but the negative man was really dizzy again, saying that he wanted to divorce Miss Zhao and regain his old friendship with her, and he didn't want to think that he was also worthy.

happened to see Wan saw Wen Jianning's "Yongding Bridge" in the newspaper, and then suddenly remembered that Wen Jianning is now a famous writer. So at the end of this letter, Miss Jianwan also specially asked Wen Jianning if she could write a satirical article for her to satirize a negative man like Lu Jiajun, and she could buy it at a high price.

Wen Jianning was almost laughed at by her, she could always underestimate the vanity and shamelessness of this eldest lady.

However, she sat alone at her desk for a while, and still pulled out the letter paper and decided to reply to Jianwan.

First of all, she is not interested in anyone or anything related to the Wen family, please Miss Wen does not need to mention it in the future; secondly, she does not care about her love entanglements, please Miss Wen respect herself; finally, if there is no important matter, please Miss Wen do not write to disturb her life, and both parties will be fine.

This is the end of the letter, which should have ended.

But Wen Jianning sat quietly at the desk for a while, and finally slowly crumpled it into a paper ball.

According to Jianwan's temperament, if she is really as good as the letter says, I am afraid that she will not think of writing to her.

She was patient and replied to Jianwan with a long letter.

Wen Jianning wrote in the letter, after all, the third aunt and grandmother used to be kind to Jianwan, if she planned to live in Shanghai in the future, at least the third aunt and grandmother were graved on the Qingming Festival every year, which was also considered to be their love for the year;

As for Jianxiu, she is married, and if Jianwan, the eldest sister, can't help her, don't take care of other people's private affairs.

There are also aunts Wen Jingshu and those in the Wen family, if they force her to marry, she can ask Liao Jingqiu for help, and if she drags on for a while, she can come to her if she can't do it. However, seeing that Wan has been doing nothing since graduating from college, she suggested that she should find a job as soon as possible, at least learn to support herself with her own hands first.

At the end of the letter, she also attached a short story called "All Are Happy".

In this article, Miss Wen and Mr. Lu were a pair of lovers, and later because the woman made the small temperament and Lu's mother oppose, the cowardly Mr. Lu married another young lady, and he didn't want the two to live in harmony after marriage, so that the family was jumping, and Lu's mother regretted marrying a dominatrix back. Miss Wen was in a state of grief when she happened to coincide with the death of a distant uncle, who inherited a large inheritance, and reunited with Mr. Lu by chance.

Mr. Lu was disgusted with the blandness of the original match, and when he saw the lively and enthusiastic Miss Wen, he soon rekindled his old feelings.

After Lu's mother heard about this, her impression of Miss Wen suddenly changed greatly, and she wanted to drive the original partner away, and the original partner also wanted to get rid of the suffocating atmosphere of the Lu family and pursue freedom, so she agreed without saying a word.

At the end of the story, Mr. Lu and his original partner were divorced, and everyone was overjoyed and got their wish. But she believes that as long as Jianwan is not really coaxed by her group of suitors, she can understand the ending that was not written.

When he first saw the grievances between Wan and the Lu family, Wen Jianning didn't know much about it, and some details were only heard later.

Seeing Wan is certainly wrong, but it is only the right and wrong between the young couple with Lu Jiajun. But the Lu family was reluctant to accept Jianwan, and at the same time dragged her and tricked her into marrying a young lady from another family, it was really difficult not to despise her family style.

As for Lu Jiajun, he is a shameless and ungrateful lover.

Seeing that he is so complacent now, if he gets close to this person again, he will suffer another loss sooner or later.

Wen Jianning sent this long letter after writing it, anyway, everything she could persuade had already been written in the letter, and the rest of the matter depended on how Wen Jianwan handled it herself.

Unexpectedly, this matter was dealt with, but she was told by Zhong Hui that she could not accompany Wen Jianning to the summer camp.

But when Wen Jianning asked if something happened to her family, she only shook her head and said no, and then asked why she wanted to go back, but she refused to say. In fact, as soon as Wen Jianning saw her reaction, she knew that she must be very unhappy because of Jiang Xuwen.

Zhong Hui hurriedly clasped his hands together, apologized and begged, but made Wen Jianning cry and laugh. In fact, she wasn't really angry about this little thing, but the first time she was a friend like Zhong Hui, she was inevitably a little depressed.

In the end, one of the two friends packed their bags and returned to Hong Kong Island, while the other packed their bags and set out on the journey alone.

......

This summer vacation, Feng Xin and Chen Hanxiang, who were in the same dormitory, also went home, Zhang Tonghui went to Yunnan-Myanmar Road to run business, Ruan Wenyun was not in good health and couldn't withstand the long-distance bumps, so Wen Jianning could only go on the road alone. Fortunately, there were some acquaintances in the Faculty of Arts who also participated in the excursion, so she didn't even know no one.

But soon, on the first day of the trip, she met an old acquaintance, Feng Yi.

Wen Jianning feels that the fate between people is really a wonderful thing.

Some time ago, when she talked to Feng Yi about the past, she found that in the past years, they had actually missed it several times. For example, she was in Shanghai that year, and it happened that Feng Yi came back from the United States to accompany her family for the New Year, but because the letter was lost halfway, the two did not even see each other. One day they even went to a department store with their family, but they never met once. This is still the case in small Shanghai, but in the vast land of Yunnan Province, they seem to be able to meet them wherever they go.

However, it is reasonable for Feng Yi to participate in this summer trip. As early as the early spring of last year, he followed the school's walking group through Hunan and Guizhou and other places, and saw a lot of people and things along the way. The purpose of his trip this time is similar to that of Wen Jianning, and it is also to see more of the customs and customs of other places in Yunnan.

In July and August, Yunnan Province is still in the middle of the long rainy season, and the rain along the way has stopped and stopped, and the ground is wet. Halfway through, the tires of the car got stuck in the thick mud on the road and could not move, so everyone had to change to mule carts, one for male students and one for female students. When the weather is nice, everyone sits on the edge of the rickety car, hangs down their legs, and debates in the air. The blue sky and white clouds overhead are long, and the green hills on both sides are slowly receding.

Yunnan's landform is bizarre, with plateau cliffs and river valley terraces, and the scenery is really refreshing.
