Wanlan took Wanxian's paper and saw that the liberal arts were high scores, nothing to look at, and the sciences didn't understand it, so she couldn't even talk about the reprimand, so she only sighed softly and put the paper aside: "Today, Cunzhi came to look for me, saying that he would send you to Peking University to study, and asked me what major I wanted you to study." ”

Wanxian said frustratedly: "I can't get into that school, and I don't want him to write a letter to recommend it, go to a special channel to enroll, sister, I'd better stay in Zhenjiang, go to the College of Arts and Sciences to read a news, and then go to the newspaper to do things." ”

Wanlan asked her, "Because Mr. Xu reads the news, do you want to read the news too?"

Wanxian didn't speak.

Wanlan asked again: "Do you like anything else besides news?"

Wanxian lowered her head and thought about it, and said gloomily: "I don't know, if I have to choose, then foreign literature is not bad, I like to read foreign literature...... But Sister, what's the use of me learning this, I can only entertain myself, the country has become like this, but I only think about entertaining myself. ”

"Your heart is not small, what has become of the country?" Wanlan laughed: "Then what do you think is useful to study?"

Wanxian bit her lip, her eyebrows tightened, and she looked preoccupied: "I don't know which one is useful." ”

"If you can learn it well, either one will be useful. Wanlan got up from the chaise longue, Lixia hurriedly came to help her, Wanxian took a look, and hurried over to support her other hand, and said, "Sister beware!"

"Go, go," Wanlan dispersed the two of them: "What are you doing, it's only been two months, and if you are pregnant in the future, do you want to offer it?"

She walked out as she spoke, Wanxian ran to push the door for her again, and said with a smile: "That's not a confession, you look at how nervous the family is now, thanks to you, I was hungry in the middle of the night the night before yesterday, and I was able to share a bowl of hot soup from the kitchen, and the girl who watched the fire nervously told me to taste two bites, in case you want it at night, it will be gone." ”

"Tossing, I go to bed early, I sleep until dawn, how can I ask for something to eat in the middle of the night. Wanlan crossed the threshold and said: "Don't mess up the topic, I haven't finished talking yet, our family doesn't wait for you to earn the subsidy of the walnuts and dates, you just choose the one you like and study seriously, and you don't have to think about which one is useful to learn, you can learn it well, which one is useful." ”

Wanxian sighed: "Why don't I follow my second brother to be a soldier to protect my family and defend the country." ”

Wanlan laughed "sneered": "Three days of fishing, two days of drying nets, I want to come out of one, I wanted to go to women's school back then, but now I have got my wish, and I want to be a soldier again, you can't hold your shoulders and can't resist, your second brother doesn't want you." ”

Wanxian sighed and said in an old-fashioned manner: "Now that the country is about to defend itself against the enemy, what is the use of me reciting some wind and snow at home all day long? I don't think the country can be carried clearly, so we should train more soldiers in the army." ”

"As long as you can carry it, okay," Wanlan said: "Girl, you really should open your eyes and see the people's livelihood and suffering, your current remarks are simply 'why not eat minced meat'." ”

Wanxian was unconvinced and said: "I'm not, I listened to the female gentleman in our school." ”

"What she said was what she saw, what she understood, you haven't seen it, so you rashly understand other people's views as correct, don't you feel weak?" Wanlan glanced at her: "You said that the country wants to keep the enemy out of the country, so it is necessary to train soldiers, then let me ask you, where do the guns come from? Where does the explosives come from?"

Wanxian was really asked, and muttered, "How did you get here before...... How to do it now. ”

"I used to buy it," Wanlan said, "how can I win this battle if I fight with someone else, and I have to buy weapons from others?

Wanxian said: "But even so, then it's useless for me to study liberal arts, and I can't learn those things in science...... I'm so stupid. ”

Wanlan said: "Then do you say that Mr. Xu is studying liberal arts, is he useful?"

Wanxian thought for a long time, and walked to the third hall before answering her in a low voice: "I don't know, in fact, I don't see the usefulness of Mr. Xu." ”

Wanlan didn't know how to answer her...... Because she didn't know what kind of role Xu Shinian played in the revolutionary party, she had to say: "You don't know, why don't you ask him?"

Wanxian said: "Let's wait until I understand something." Sister, you said that I couldn't pass the exam when I went to Beijing to study, I knew my own catties, and I didn't have anything to learn, I didn't know which subject I should study, what I liked was useless things. ”

Wanlan secretly felt frightened, this little girl has always had her own ideas, and she will never be easily persuaded by outsiders when she makes up her mind, and now she suddenly made such a comment to herself - what she likes is only useless things, isn't it just that she herself is also a useless thing?

Wan Tian was already sitting in the hall, she had a plate of honey-pickled plums in her hand, and she was eating happily, and when she saw the Wan Lan sisters coming in, she hurriedly greeted: "Come on, come on, the small kitchen is specially pickled, let's touch the light of the eldest lady." ”

Wanxian cheered, let go of her and ran over, smiling and smiling, not at all showing the depressed feeling of Fang Cai. This made Wanlan feel even more worried, and there was a kind of sudden realization that the years have passed: the child at a young age will also grow up, and she will hide her bad emotions, and will report good news to her family but not bad news.

She called Wanxian to the room after dinner: "I think a good school should still give it a try, Ah Xian, if you don't want to say that you are married, you have to gain the ability to live independently, don't be anxious to think about what you like and whether this thing is useful, the world is so big, you are so small, you haven't seen most of the things in the world, how can you know what you like." ”

Wanxian pursed her lips and said, "I'll try my best, but don't be in a hurry this year, I want to finish middle school well, and then talk about taking the entrance test of Peking University." ”

Wanlan said: "You study hard, don't go to class anymore, I will put your "Pride and Prejudice" for you, and I will give it to you when you graduate." ”

She asked Wanxian to tell Xu Shinian about these plans and reasons, and Wanxian used her lunch break to go to Zhenjiang College of Arts and Sciences to look for him, she knocked on the door, and heard Xu Shinian talking on the phone in the office, so she stood outside and waited for a while.

There are one or two sentences or a few words that come out vaguely, all of them are "Beijing", "Nanjing", "Senate" and the like, Wanxian put those words together, and the sentences spelled out were also incomplete, and Xu Shinian could only be seen with a particularly serious expression, as if something was wrong.

When she was allowed to enter the house, she asked him, "What's the matter, sir?"

Xu Shinian would never fool him about the questions she raised, if he could say it, he would make it clear, and if it was confidential or he didn't want to talk about it, he would tell her bluntly: "There are some things that haven't been dealt with yet." Why are you here?"

Wanxian said: "Sister Lan asked me to tell you my decision about Peking University, sir, thank you for the road you prepared for me, but I want to get a middle school diploma according to the normal process, and then take the entrance test over there according to the normal process. ”

Xu Shinian pursed his lips and listened, smiled at her first, and then said, "Okay, if it's your own will, then do it." ”

There were only two of them in the office, and Wanxian didn't want to say goodbye so quickly, so she didn't have anything to say, and told him the reason why she planned to do so. Xu Shinian didn't show any joy or regret, but just repeated what he had just said: "If this is your own will, then do it." ”

He clearly didn't want to talk about it.

When Wanxian went home in the evening, she learned the news of the resignation of Premier Tang Shaoyi, who had just taken office on March 13 and was about to step down after only three months as prime minister, but people in the capital also said that in just three months, he had squandered the relationship with Yuan Shikai that had accumulated for decades.

Tang Shaoyi once served as Yuan Shikai's plenipotentiary representative in negotiations with the Nanjing government, and Sun Wen personally took the oath to join the China League, so it can be said that it is very good for him to be the first premier of New China, this gentleman is erudite and talented, capable, and is also a rare person who can be trusted by Yuan Shikai and Sun Wen at the same time.

But this trust is so fragile that no one expects it.

Xie Huaichang went back to Zhenjiang after Tang Shaoyi's resignation and lived in the house for a few days, he had already stepped down from the capital, and he would go to the Military Academy every two days to officially take up the post of director of academic affairs. When he left the capital, he had participated in Tang Shaoyi's farewell banquet as a friend of his family, and Tang's experience made him tremble, because he was also a person who could be trusted by both Yuan Shikai and the revolutionary party, so he was given the position of the Academic Affairs Office of the Military Academy.

After he stayed at home for two days, Wu Peifu called, and told him that he didn't have to go to the academy anymore and went directly to him as an officer.

Wu Peifu said: "I know that your position in the new government has changed several times, and you may be the last one in this life." ”

Mr. Xie is now reluctant to make any connection to a place of power like Beijing, where politics is in chaos — Mr. Yuan is in real power, and he doesn't want to be complacent about having his statue on the table as a symbol. Therefore, the new prime minister is Lu Zhengxiang, the former head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, who was once evaluated as "modest and peaceful, but clumsy in making decisions".

A person who knows current affairs better than Tang Shaoyi and likes him more.

At the beginning, in order to prevent Yuan Shikai from monopolizing power, President Sun deliberately withdrew from the "Provisional Covenant" shortly after he took office, but if Yuan Shikai could be limited by a mere law, he would not have become the president of the country today.
