Chapter Seventy-Five: Yenching University
"This is Yanjing. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Stepping off the train, Tang Qian stretched, then looked around, muttering to himself.
Although the location where he is standing now is only Yanjing Railway Station, through the train station, he can already see the tall buildings and overpasses outside, and the sound of cars roaring by.
All this is telling Tang Qian that Yanjing has arrived!
This is Tang Qian's first time in Yanjing, and he has never been here in his previous life. As the capital of China for six or seven hundred years, especially the place where the emperors of China are still there, Tang Qian is naturally very excited to come here.
"After the report, I have time to visit Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City."
Tang Qian thought in his heart that although this world was different from Tang Qian's previous life, after Emperor Shizong of Dashun reformed the law more than 100 years ago and returned to the people, Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City were changed to their current names, and the Bauhinia City, which used to be the emperor's residence, was renamed the Forbidden City and opened for tourists to visit.
Of course, there are still a large number of places in it that are not open, and the emperors of China currently live in them, such as Zhongnanhai.
Tang Qian had naturally heard about Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City for a long time, so he decided that he must take a good look when he had time.
However, Tang Qian knew that the top priority now was not to plan a trip, but to report to Yenching University. Most universities will arrange people to welcome new students at the train station, and Yenching University is no exception.
Therefore, Tang Qian looked for it now and looked around, wanting to see where the people who welcomed the new students at Yenching University were. As soon as he looked over, he saw that there were indeed many people standing in front of him, each holding a sign with the name of Yenching's university written on it.
However, after a glance, Tang Qian did not find the sign of Yenching University.
"Where?" He muttered to himself, ready to walk over and take a look.
"Tang Qian, wait."
Just then, a voice came from behind. Tang Qian was stunned, and when he looked back, he saw a girl with a peaked cap standing in front of him, who was one of the three girls on the train before.
"You, what's the matter?" Tang Qian was stunned.
"This, Tang Qian, are you going to report to Yenching University?" The girl with the cap asked with a little whims.
"yes." Tang Qian nodded, but he was a little confused in his heart, not knowing what this girl was looking for him.
"That's right, I'm a student at Yenching Guowen University, and our school is right next to your Yenching University. So, so. The girl said, stammering a little, "So can you add me to WeChat?" I am also from the Chinese department, and I want to communicate more with you on Chinese learning in the future. ”
As she spoke, the girl looked at Tang Qian expectantly.
This is the first time she has asked someone for WeChat, in the past, it was usually boys who talked to her, and asked her WeChat for various reasons, of course, she didn't give it. But this time Tang Qian is really the object of her great admiration, she really wants to know Tang Qian so much, especially after seeing Tang Qian's talent with her own eyes on the train, she feels that she must know Tang Qian.
Originally, after talking to Tang Qian on the train, Tang Qian would take the initiative to ask her for WeChat, but who knew that Tang Qian had never spoken, after the train docked at the station, he actually said hello and immediately left with his suitcase, it seemed that he didn't want his WeChat at all.
At this moment, she was both a little frustrated and a little unable to sit still. Although she knew that she and Tang Qian's school were not far away, if she missed today, she might not have the opportunity to meet in the future.
Therefore, gritting her teeth, she walked in front of Tang Qian with courage and asked him for WeChat. This is the first time she has taken the initiative to ask for WeChat, and she feels a little apprehensive.
"Kokubun University!" Tang Qian didn't answer her immediately, but remembered her words, he had also heard of Guowen University, and it was definitely not comparable to Yenching University, but it was also a good school. More importantly, this university is a normal school, and most of the people in it are normal students.
"This girl is also a normal student."
The girl was still anxiously waiting for Tang Qian's answer, but Tang Qian remembered these inconsequential things. All of a sudden, the girl's heart was lifted, and the longer it passed, the more nervous she became.
"What, what's inconvenient?" In the end, the girl spoke, her words were a little desperate, she didn't expect Tang Qian to refuse her at all.
"Ah, no, no, no, no inconvenience." Tang Qian reacted and quickly shook his head. He took out his phone and added the girl's WeChat.
After adding it, the girl showed a happy expression on her face, and then said, "If I still have any problems in the future, I will trouble you." ”
"Okay." Tang Qian also smiled.
With that, the girl turned and walked towards her friend, and at the same time secretly raised her hand in front of her, making a triumphant gesture to her friend.
"Wait."
At this moment, Tang Qian suddenly spoke.
"What, what's wrong?" The girl turned her head, thinking that Tang Qian was going to regret it, so she didn't add her anymore, so she hurriedly covered her phone tightly.
"It's okay, I just want to ask your name, WeChat has been added, I don't even know your name yet." Tang Qian said with a smile.
"Oh, yes." The girl also smiled, "My name is Li Qiao'er, Tang Qian, you can call me Qiao'er." ”

"This is Yenching University, and it's exactly the same as the photos on the Internet."
Sitting in the car, Tang Qian looked through the window at the outside gate. After breaking up with Li Qiaoer, he carefully looked for the station, and sure enough, he found the orientation group of Yenching University, and after showing that he was also a freshman of Yenching University, he was brought to the bus and then sent to the gate of Yenching University.
"Okay everyone, let's get off at the school gate now, the orientation point of each department is in the school, a little far from the gate, everyone will follow me and walk towards the orientation point together, it will take about twenty minutes." At this time, the person in charge of the car spoke.
"Oh, no, it's going to take twenty minutes."
"Why don't you go in directly, twenty minutes is too far?"
"Let's just get in the car."
The freshmen immediately complained one after another, they didn't expect that it would take twenty minutes to welcome the new students.
"No vehicle is allowed to enter Yenching University, this is a rule that has been established since Emperor Sejong established our Yenching University, and even cabinet ministers must abide by it, do you want to break it?" The person in charge spoke, a little reprimanded.
Tang Qian learned this allusion in history class, when the Opium War Dashun Army was vulnerable in front of the foreign army, and had to pay reparations and cede Hong Kong Island to the British.
Later, Emperor Sejong learned from the pain and decided to learn from the West and reform the law. One of the great measures taken to reform the law is to establish two new universities, Yenching and Huaqing, to train talents for law reform.
At that time, in order to get rid of the ills of the feudal era, when Yenching University was established, Emperor Sejong stipulated that no one entering the university should be allowed to travel in a sedan chair or horse-drawn carriage.
Later, horse-drawn carriages and sedan chairs were replaced by automobiles, and the natural rule became that no vehicles were allowed to enter Yenching University. Since then, not to mention ordinary people, even the cabinet ministers at the top of the current Chinese political circles have to get out of the car and walk when they enter Yenching University.
Of course, it is impossible for a university in general to have such a rule.
The people who had those doubts on the car just now were obviously science students and didn't know about this history, but after being reprimanded by the person in charge, they all understood.
One by one, they honestly closed their mouths, got out of the car and took their own salutes, and followed the person in charge and walked inside.
Tang Qian was the same, when he walked into the gate of the university, he looked up and saw a tall statue standing inside the gate, it was Emperor Sejong.
