The courtyard is deep in summer, and the pomegranates are open all over the curtain.

In the morning, Chen Kunchen ran past a pomegranate tree at the entrance of the alley, and the flowers were blooming in late May, and I don't know why Chen Kun remembered the word "bow down the pomegranate skirt".

Many people have heard of the sentence of bowing down the pomegranate skirt, so how did the pomegranate skirt come about? In Emperor Liang Yuandi's "Wuqi Song", there is a hibiscus with a pomegranate skirt, and the pomegranate skirt also comes from this.

In ancient times, women liked pomegranate red skirts, and the main dyes for dyeing red skirts at that time were also extracted from pomegranate flowers, so people also called red skirts pomegranate skirts, and over time they were called synonyms for young women in ancient times.

Legend has it that Yang Guifei was very fond of pomegranate flowers. Emperor Tang Ming cast his favor, in Huaqing Chi Xixiuling, the Queen Mother Temple and other places widely planted pomegranates, whenever the pomegranate flowers bloomed, this merry son set up a banquet in the "red-hot" pomegranate flowers.

Because Emperor Tang Ming favored Yang Guifei too much and ignored the government, the ministers did not dare to accuse the emperor, so they were angry with Yang Guifei and refused to give her courtesy.

Emperor Tang Ming set up a banquet to summon the ministers to drink together, and invited Yang Yuhuan to dance to help the fun. But the noble concubine took the wine glass and sent it to the Ming Emperor's lips, and whispered to the emperor: "Most of these courtiers look sideways at the concubines, do not salute, are not respectful, I don't want to dance for them." When Emperor Tang Ming heard this, he felt that his favorite concubine had been wronged, and immediately ordered that all civil and military generals should salute when they saw the concubine, and those who refused to bow down would be severely punished for the crime of bullying the king.

The ministers were helpless, and when they saw Yang Yuhuan coming in a pomegranate skirt, they all knelt down and saluted. So the allusion of "bowing down under the pomegranate skirt" has been passed down for thousands of years.

Of course, this is wild history, and it is not true, people describe men as being conquered by women, saying that they bow down under the pomegranate skirt, but there are some.

"Do you think you are also bowing down under Li Qian's pomegranate group?" I didn't think I had ever seen Li Qian wearing a red skirt, shaking his head, Chen Kun walked through the alley where there were gradually more people, returned to his room, and looked at the jade pendant with tassels on the desk in a daze.

It has been more than a week since Li Qian transferred to another school and left, but the jade pendant that Li Qian returned when she was in Nanshan was put on the desk by Chen Kun and was unwilling to move.

There is no more Li Qian's playful figure in the classroom, Chen Kun listened as carefully as possible during class, after all, there is no more Qianying to solve problems for himself, and those who really don't understand go to the office to consult the teacher after class, it is estimated that he feels Chen Kun's enthusiasm for learning, and the head teacher also mentioned Chen Kun's position in advance, but he sat in the vacant position of Li Qian, and he didn't know what Chen Kun's mood was.

Whether he admits it or not, Chen Kun knows that he is out of love, this feeling is difficult to explain clearly, Chen Kun can only taste it carefully.

It tastes like an unripe green orange, green and slightly sour.

Chen Changqing's game hall has already opened, Tang Yuan also went to work, Chen Kun went on the opening day, Tang Yuan, who cut her hair short, wore a ponytail, a red plaid shirt, and dark jeans, fresh and refreshing.

It stands to reason that Chen Kun should give Tang Yuan the jade pendant that Li Qian returned to him and his own piece, but he couldn't lift his spirits, and Chen Kun didn't go to Tang Yuan on the weekend last week.

Chen Kun is not happy, Chen Changqing and Heizi and even Tang Yuan have been in a good mood recently, the business of this famous game hall is unexpectedly hot, this is the best location, and there are the latest game consoles, so whether it is a weekend or not, the turnover exceeds 20,000 in the first three days of opening, and it continues to rise, which scares everyone, and those Taishan machines account for the absolute main force, this kind of game console that has been ignored at the beginning is destined to be a gold-swallowing beast from the day it was launched。

Business is good, even if there is smoke in it, Tang Yuan is very happy, although she gets off work at ten o'clock every day, although she has a strong smell of smoke on her head every day, and she can't wash it off no matter how many times she washes it, but she feels that she has not taken Chen Kun's salary in vain, and she feels a little relieved to help Chen Kun stare at this game hall, this is a diligent girl, she is always the first to arrive every day, open the door, clean up, and leave the latest.

Even Chen Kun, a smoker, couldn't stand the smoky environment, there was not a single mosquito or fly, and he would be smoked to death anyway.

Chen Kun has only been there twice, and he can't stand that environment, and he hasn't been in a good mood recently, so he goes less.

After all, reading is the most important thing for Chen Kun during this time period.

My father and mother went to ZQ together, and then to CD.

The location of the hot pot restaurant has long been chosen, Chen Dakuan also asked Xia Donghai for help in this matter, last year the Municipal Public Security Bureau moved a new office building, but the location of the old city bureau is located in the most prosperous business district in the entire Yuzhang City.

The public security system is rich and wealthy, and several shops at the entrance of the old city bureau have not yet begun to rent to the outside world, so Chen Dakuan found Xia Donghai the idea of hitting these shops.

The so-called people in the court are good at burning incense, Chen Dakuan is not a stingy person, there is Xia Donghai to see, should burn incense, should worship Buddha and worship Buddha, things are done quickly, two hundred square meters, only a little more than 3,000 monthly rent, but also free of rent for two months, the name of the decoration time.

You must know that this is a first-class wharf in the city, that is, Chen Kun's father does nothing, and he has a lot of income when he subleases it.

The so-called short hands and soft mouths of eating people, anyway, it is a public thing, everyone will do it if there is a favor, the national situation is like this, everyone is like this at that time, and the parties are not the same thing, in fact, it is not a thing.

The decoration procedures have not been completed yet, the store has already begun to be renovated, and the happiest person for Chen Kun's father to open a hot pot restaurant is Xia Donghai, in fact, no matter what he does, as long as Chen Dakuan is starting his own business, Xia Donghai is supportive.

The relationship between the two is iron, and they have said more than once that they want to bring people to support the opening, and it is also the best thing to help, and it is Xia Donghai's driver Xiaowen who is busy arranging people to decorate in the store at this time.

Everything is moving in a good direction, and everyone is full of energy, only Chen Kun is a little unrefreshed.

It's just that I can't lift my spirits anymore, life has to go on, and I still have to go to school.

Pick up the backpack and slung it over your shoulder, your fingers casually running over the tassels hanging from the backpack.

Today is the day of the exam, but you can't be late.

Chen Kun stepped on the bluestone slab that was still carrying dew, turned out of the alley and walked towards the school in the morning sun.

The wind on a May morning is pleasant, and the air is filled with the unique fragrance of camphor trees, which is cool and refreshing.

Chen Kun shook his head, as if he wanted to get all the messy disturbances out of his head, and quickened his pace and ran towards the school.

"Everyone is working hard, Chen Changqing, Heizi, Dad and Mom, Tang Yuan and even Li Qian, everyone is climbing up, why don't you work hard?"

I thought again: "If Li Qian goes to the United States, what kind of expression will she have when she suddenly appears in front of her?"

Thinking of the funny and couldn't help laughing, "Today is the time for the exam, in a sense, it is the first test after being reborn, this more than a month of hard work has ushered in the first test, come on, young man, crush it, give everyone a surprise." Chen Kun cheered himself up.

When Chen Kun walked into the classroom, everyone was basically together, sat down, took out the books and read them, and it was good to hurry up and review them.

Until the bell rang, Chen Kun put the book on his desk and waited for the teacher to come in and start distributing the test papers.

In the process of waiting, Chen Kun looked around at every face around him, and the impressions that could not be erased in his memory, at this moment, the teacher began to distribute the test papers, and with the rhythm of the drumbeat as the exam approached, his blood boiled.

Chen Kun's new tablemate is a girl wearing glasses, two strands of braid hanging down from her neck, wearing a close-fitting vest, slacks and canvas shoes, white and tender skin, and her face is also delicate.

The teacher who walked next to Chen Kun put the distributed test paper on Su Can's desk, saw Chen Kun probing around, knocked on the table with his bone joints, and glanced at him with some dissatisfaction.

Seeing the teacher walk away, the woman next to him raised her head and glanced at him through the glasses, Chen Kun smiled back with an embarrassed smile, spread out the test paper in front of him, and the big title of the test paper instantly came into view.

It's finally here!

Chen Kun roughly glanced at the test paper first, and then there was ecstasy, there was an essential gap between junior high school mathematics and high school mathematics, and the difficulty was extremely high. I have the impression that the difficulty of mathematics in this year's high school entrance examination is relatively large, and looking at the test papers that Chen Kun sees now, it can be so simple.

It is almost two levels less difficult than the internal exercises of the attached middle school mathematics that Li Qian reviewed for herself before.

Chen Kun didn't think about it, and buried himself in writing, and at this time, the whole classroom was only the rustle of the tip of the pen on the paper.

Most of the time has passed, and a few people have already finished writing and handing in the paper first, and the glasses girl next to Chen Kun also stopped writing and picked up her own things. Without looking at anyone around him, he walked out of the classroom proudly and confidently.

Chen Kun checked it one last time and got up to hand in the papers.

In fact, as early as about forty minutes after the bell rang, Chen Kun finished all the exam questions, but he still couldn't believe that the mock exam that the whole school took seriously solved so quickly?

Seeing that everyone else had handed in the papers, I handed in the papers with trepidation.

Walking out of the classroom, all classes in the entire grade were taking exams, and there were few people in the entire corridor, Chen Kun walked to the end of the corridor, lit a cigarette at the corner of the corridor, and waited for the arrival of the next exam at a loss.

The location of Chen Kun's station is the dead corner at the end of the entire corridor, and he is not worried about being seen by the teacher, at this time, he saw a young man in his twenties with a sharp-beaked monkey cheek, walking from the other end of the corridor, Chen Kun didn't care, the school management is not strict, and people from outside the school often enter the school.

Suddenly feeling wrong, he turned his head and stared at the gray jacket that the young man was wearing, and the memories that had disappeared for a long time surged in the deepest part of his mind.

On the eve of the high school entrance examination in 96, at the middle school where Chen Kun studied, a drug addict from outside the school entered the school and left a female student in the third year of junior high school off the teaching building.

This incident had a very bad impact at the time, and it also caused an uproar in society.

Because it happened in his school, Chen Kun was deeply impressed, and remembered that Chen Kun also went to the scene to take a look, but the person had been taken away by the police at that time, and Chen Kun did not meet him, only a large bloodstain left by the girl in the courtyard of the teaching building.

In the years that followed, the small patio garden became a taboo for the students.

I remember that a large photograph of the suspect that appeared in the newspaper a few days later was a young man with sharp beak and monkey cheeks, wearing a gray jacket.

At that time, the young Chen Kun still fantasized about what he would do if he was around at that time, how to stop it from happening.

Chen Kun stared at the young man looking around in the corridor, "It's this gray jacket." Chen Kun felt that he was not mistaken.

I couldn't help but get nervous, I felt that my heart was beating faster and faster, my palms were full of sweat, and I wiped and wiped on my pants, and I couldn't wipe it clean.

"What should I do, call the teacher over?" Chen Kun thought.

But it was too late, and the screams of girls were already heard at the other end of the corridor, and the young man pulled a girl who had just walked out of the corridor and dragged her to the guardrail of the corridor.

What is hot-blooded Chen Kun didn't know, he just felt that the blood in his whole body was surging up his head, watching a fresh life disappear in front of him, and standing by and watching, Chen Kun definitely couldn't do it.

Looking around the corner, there was not a single piece of paper, let alone a tool to take advantage of.

I didn't have time to think about it, so I shouted: "What are you doing?"

Chen Kun ran with a boost, and at the moment when the man was stunned, his whole body jumped up and kicked heavily on the opponent's chest.

This kick was estimated to be not light, and the man took two steps back in a row and let go of the hand holding the girl.

Taking two steps back is very far, in fact, the current few people are just one or two steps apart, and I don't think much about Chen Kun taking a step sideways, blocking between the young man and the girl.

The girl who was freed glanced at Chen Kun, turned around and ran down the stairs crying.

The female student ran away, and the man chased after him with red eyes, and Chen Kun couldn't avoid it, so he could only open his arms and hug the young man who was about to catch up.

Thanks to the fact that Chen Kun has been insisting on physical exercise after being reborn, he feels that his body reaction and strength are much greater, and the young man estimates that because of long-term drug use, his strength is actually not great, and the two have been entangled for a few minutes, and it is estimated that he feels that he can't break free from Chen Kun for a while.

The man raised his red eyes and stared at Chen Kun, and smiled cruelly: "Originally, I was looking for a back, it doesn't make a difference if you die or she dies." ”

As he spoke, he pulled back his waist, took out a switchblade, pressed the blade with a brush, and stabbed at Chen Kun.

Chen Kun's heart jumped and shouted that it was not good, "The newspaper didn't say that this person also brought a knife," I knew that this was broken, and I had the intention to dodge, but the two of them were very close but couldn't dodge, and reluctantly twisted their bodies to avoid the vital point.

The man was holding a Mitsubishi scraper, the blade was thin and long, with a shallow blood groove, and his body sank into Chen Kun's lower abdomen.

Chen Kun felt a chill in his lower abdomen, and then felt that the heat in his whole body was surging towards his lower abdomen, and he felt a little cold, so much so that he didn't have time to feel much pain.

also knew that it was really the time to fight hard, and grabbed the young man's hand holding the knife with both hands, preventing him from pulling the knife out.

The desire to survive exploded, dragging the man to the ground, the man has been taking drugs all year round, and he really can't pull out for a while.

Then the sound of shouting and footsteps sounded, the fat face of the physical education teacher imprinted into Chen Kun's eyes, and he vaguely saw the girl he saved standing in the crowd crying, a noisy voice came from his ears, and his eyes were black and fainted.
