Chapter Eighty-Nine
There is a South Lake in Mengzi, and there is also a Green Lake in Spring City. The latter also built embankments along the coast, planted many willow trees in dense pressure, and built pavilions and pavilions on the small islands in the middle of the lake, which are more suitable for visitors to enjoy. The two did not go to the small pavilion in the middle of the lake, but only sat down on a large rock by the lake, and deliberately separated themselves by a distance.
Feng Yi didn't say anything, only picked up a handful of stones from the side to float.
Everywhere the stones reached his hand, and when they were thrown out again, they seemed to become a live fish, and they jumped four or five times on the paper, until the surface of the lake also spread out a circle of ripples, and then they flicked their tails and plunged into the water. In the distance, there was a layer of pale green water duckweed on the water surface, and I don't know whether I was disturbed by this water wave, or I was blown by the breeze, shaking slightly.
Wen Jianning watched from the side for a while, and also picked up stones, and was about to follow his example. Suddenly, the person next to her asked her, "I saw the way you came before, it seems that you were in a bad mood?"
She didn't speak, threw the stone in her hand, and fell into the lake not far away.
Although he and Feng Yi are nominally friends, there are some things that Wen Jianning still doesn't want to tell outsiders.
Feng Yi didn't seem to care about her silence, and his voice was still calm: "Although it may be a bit presumptuous to say this, if there is any problem in your family, there is a place where I can help, you can speak." ”
Wen Jianning blurted out: "How do you know that I am worried about family affairs?"
Feng Yi turned to look at her: "I guessed randomly, I didn't expect to guess correctly." ”
Wen Jianning lowered her head and hesitated for a while, but still told Wen Baiqing that they wanted her to withdraw from school.
During this period, Feng Yi listened quietly and did not interrupt her once.
Wen Jianning was just talking at first, but he couldn't help but reveal his true feelings as he spoke.
She lowered her head and muttered: "Actually, I also know that I have done something wrong, but I still will, I still feel wronged, and I don't want to bow down to them, even if I know that they are indeed for my good." Aren't you too willful to say I'm like this?"
Feng Yi said: "It doesn't seem to be a big bad thing for girls to be willful. ”
Wen Jianning disagreed: "I don't like to hear such words, should girls be born to mess around? Men are born to understand things? This kind of logical low-level fallacy should not appear in the top students of the physics department." ”
Feng Yi knew that she was in a bad mood and that she was hitting the muzzle of the gun, but she just smiled dumbly and didn't care about her.
Just when Wen Jianning thought that he wouldn't say anything more, he suddenly said: "You should be able to guess it, I also ran back to China against the will of my family." ”
Wen Jianning opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say.
She knew the situation of the Feng family, and Feng Yi's resistance to returning to China was much greater than her.
Feng Yi's voice was still calm and powerful, just like his whole temperament: "The people in my family are similar to your cousins and sisters-in-law. They all wanted me to finish my studies in the United States and stay abroad without going back to my home country after graduation, but I still insisted on running back. I can understand the thoughts of my family, I can understand the thoughts of your cousins and sisters-in-law, and if your loved ones are going to dangerous places despite dissuasion, I will probably be their feelings. ”
Wen Jianning thought of Mr. Qi in Shanghai, and lowered his eyelids: "Are we wrong?"
"We're not wrong, and neither are they. But what is in the world is not black and white, only right and wrong. ”
Wen Jianning was silent for a while before saying, "I understand the reason, but what should I do? I can't do what they want, and they may not be able to listen to my thoughts." ”
The hardest thing in the world is to have it both ways.
"You don't have to do what they want, but at least don't leave yourself with regrets. ”
Wen Jianning was silent for a while, and suddenly asked with some embarrassment: "Then should I write to my cousin-in-law to apologize when I go back?"
Feng Yi pushed the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose and looked at the lake in front of him: "If you don't have the courage to say it in person, it's best not to say it in the letter." What's more, you only decided to apologize to your cousin-in-law after listening to me, and when you go back and think about it again, maybe you will change your mind again. Let's talk about it when you can really think about it. ”
Wen Jianning turned his head and frowned at his side face: "I think you seem to mean something, as if you are saying that I am a wall grass, and I can change my mind with a few words." You don't even need to be blown by the wind, and after a while you will change your mind. ”
Feng Yi helplessly: "The female student of the Chinese department, is she so good at writing skills?"
Wen Jianning made a straight face: "That's nature." ”
After finishing speaking, she couldn't hold back her laughter, and after laughing, she sincerely thanked Feng Yi and said, "Don't worry, I understand, thank you so much today." ”
Feng Yi accepted her thanks very calmly, and got up from the grass with the book: "Okay, now that the task of enlightening the guests has been completed, I should go back to busy business." ”
He said that he patted the grass clippings on his long shirt, said goodbye to Wen Jianning, and left alone.
Wen Jianning stood in place, watching the thin and tall back gradually fade away, before he lowered his head and smiled slightly.
......
After returning to the dormitory, Wen Jianning apologized to Zhong Hui, and then sent a letter to Liao's house and a letter to Shanghai. However, Meng Li's letter from Shanghai quickly replied, informing her that the Liao family had moved to Hong Kong Island before the outbreak of the Yangcheng War, and everything was safe.
Wen Jianning also expected this result, but she at least did what she should have done, and there was nothing to regret.
But that's for later.
A few days after that day, when she and Feng Yi came out of the Lu Mansion together, Feng Yi handed her the seal and painting: "The painting is rough, something was delayed a few days ago, you see if you are not satisfied, I will paint it for you when I go back." ”
Wen Jianning unfolded the scroll and said, "No, no, I think it's good enough." ”
Sure enough, as she requested, there were only a few orchids painted on the paper, without roots and soil, but there was no sense of decay and decay, and the lines of the orchid flowers and leaves were smooth and vigorous, and the charm was vivid.
She carefully put the paper in her arms and hurriedly said, "Thank you." ”
Feng Yi didn't look at her, and still seemed to be looking forward very intently: "You're welcome." ”
After going back, she took the painting and compared it on the wall for a long time, but she was reluctant to stick it on the wall, and finally pressed it on the glass plate on the desk to write, and she didn't notice that Zhong Hui next to her was staring at her for a long time.
Even Ruan Wenyun came over and asked, "This bluegrass is so well painted, who gave it away?"
Wen Jianning said with a smile: "This is a giveaway, I bought someone else's seal, and they gave me a painting." ”
"Is there such a good thing?" Ruan Wenyun looked at it carefully for a while before he said, "I watched Mo Lan grow without soil and stones, and only painted these few brushstrokes, which seemed to be a bit like the rootless orchid of Zheng Sixiao of the Southern Song Dynasty." However, the person who painted this Melantu has a deep foundation and must have put a lot of thought into it. Although this painting is a weak bluegrass, it looks like a bamboo. ”
Wen Jianning was happy when she heard her praise for the good painting, and she didn't care about anything else, but said, "If you think it's good, I'll take you to buy it again." In this way, she can be regarded as pulling a business for Feng Yi.
Ruan Wenyun shook his head: "Forget it, I also know some Chinese paintings, although I may not be as good as the owner of this Melantu, but there is no need to spend this unjust money." ”
Wen Jianning knew that she was strapped for money, and although she didn't persuade her again, she was still a little unconvinced.
Can painting be the same as painting, she is also a person who can draw a few strokes.
Thinking about it, she gradually lost her mind.
In the past, when they were in the Mid-Levels Villa, their aunt Wen Jingshu invited many teachers for them in order to let them know a little bit of everything, and they would be able to handle it in front of people in the future. Among the sisters, Jianwan learned piano and ballroom dancing the fastest, and the best painting was Jianxiu.
Thinking of this, Wen Jianning was stunned again.
This is the first time she thought of seeing embroidery after coming to Yunnan.
Wen Jianning once thought that she would be able to write and embroider and paint, and if the two escaped together, they could sell literature and paintings for a living in the future. Now the two have parted ways, each going their own way, she is studying in the southwest, and she sees embroidery living a safe and stable life in Hong Kong and Island, and has no worries about food and clothing.
But the thought only crossed her mind, and she quickly came to her senses and opened the small bag containing the seal. I used to focus on painting, but I forgot the most important things. The small seal is pale cyan throughout, moist and delicate throughout the body, and the texture is as solid as jade.
Wen Jianning didn't understand stones, so he could only continue to ask Ruan Wenyun for advice, and only relieved himself after hearing her say that it was just cheap Qingtian stone. She has already won the giveaway from others for nothing, and if she takes advantage of others in terms of price, it will only bother her.
Fortunately, Feng Yi didn't embarrass her.
After arriving in Spring City in July and August, due to the chaotic organization of the school headquarters and the successive air raids by the Japanese army, Wen Jianning and her sisters have never been able to attend classes properly, and most of the time is spent adapting to the new environment and participating in club activities.
It wasn't until the end of November of this year that they officially started to choose courses to prepare for the next school year.
The University implements a credit system, and students are free to take other courses outside the compulsory classes, and even choose from other colleges. However, this choice is not completely unlimited, the school pays attention to cultivating the comprehensive quality of students, and students in the Faculty of Science are required to study literature and history, and their liberal arts students are also required to choose at least one natural science and two social sciences as compulsory subjects.
It is good to say that the social sciences are divided into the Faculty of Arts, but the natural sciences are mostly taught in the Faculty of Science and Technology.
In the past, when I was in Mengzi, because the Faculty of Arts was separated from the main school, it was inconvenient for teachers to come and go, and they could not even attend classes. Now that the Faculty of Arts has finally moved to Kunming, this natural science course can finally be taught well.
Wen Jianning was a little moved when he saw that the School of Physics had opened an astrophysics course. She happened to be interested in astrophysics lately, but she was also interested in botany and entomology, and she didn't know which one to choose. When she was hesitating, Zhong Hui next to her urged her: "What are you still doing, of course it's a physics class." ”
She glanced at Zhong Hui and turned around to choose another native plant.
