Chapter 54: The Lecture I

In fact, there is no recognized school flower in the university, not to mention those acting school beauties such as Chinese opera and Beiying, even in institutions of higher learning such as Tsinghua University and Peking University, there is rarely a beautiful woman who can really conquer the male livestock of the whole school, after all, in the era of information explosion, beauty is no longer a legendary figure, for many boys, the emergence of the Internet gives them more opportunities to choose the type of girl they like as the goddess of their dreams. Naturally, the school flowers in real life will also be crowned on different people because of people's different preferences.

However, Tang Xin is in the English Department, and now she is a well-deserved number one beauty, and according to the news that Ye Leiyang got from Zhang Ye's mouth in her last life, this title has always accompanied her college career, from the beginning of her freshman year to the graduation of her senior year, the six senior sisters and sisters, like the champion in the ring, Tang Xin has always firmly occupied the title of the first beauty in the English Department.

Such a girl is destined to make waves among men.

Just like the lecturer standing on the podium now, Ye Leiyang could clearly perceive that the moment Tang Xin appeared in the classroom, the lecturer's breathing was a little shorter, and the tone of the lecture was also raised, especially when he began to recite Li Shangyin's poems, Ye Leiyang shook his head and smiled bitterly, this Tang Xin's charm is too high.

As an adult, he could perceive that the lecturer surnamed Chen looked at Tang Xin with a subtle heat in his eyes, but compared with the group of hairy boys in the university, this one probably knows better what is step-by-step, so the way he shows it is very different, which can be seen from the fact that the objects of his questions several times are those boys who are around Tang Xin, Lecturer Chen is using a special way to make the other party retreat.

"Why don't you sit down?" Jiang Zhi lowered his voice and asked Ye Leiyang.

Ye Leiyang shook his head: "There's no need. ”

He just came to see, there was no need to get too close to Tang Xin, for Ye Leiyang, he hadn't figured out how he wanted to get along with Tang Xin, to be exact, he just didn't want Tang Xin to follow in the footsteps of his previous life.

Looking at Ye Feng, who was sitting at the door not far away, Ye Leiyang was very curious whether his "rival in love" would be named by Lecturer Chen.

Since Lecturer Chen wants to make an example of chickens and monkeys, he naturally has to show his real skills, he sold a pass first, and said with a smile: "His life is short, but it is very fulfilling, and his works are richer than countless days." Alas! This worker of astonishing strength and never tires, this philosopher, this thinker, this writer, this genius, has experienced among us the kind of life full of storms and struggles that all great men cannot avoid. Today, he rests in peace and quiet. Now, he is free from all quarrels and hatreds. On the same day, he entered the grave, but also the realm of honor, and he will continue to shine above the clouds above our heads, among the stars of our homeland...... Tell me who this writer is. ”

His finger pointed at Ye Feng.

His brows furrowed slightly, Ye Feng stood up, hesitated and shook his head gently, and said honestly, "I haven't heard of it." ”

At the same time, Tang Xin and Ye Leiyang were sitting in different positions, but they spit out four words almost at the same time: "Balzac!" ”

"Okay, it's okay to be ignorant, but remember to read more." Lecturer Chen mercilessly ridiculed Ye Feng, waved his hand to sit down, and then wrote the name Balzac on the blackboard.

Balzac, a French novelist, known as the father of the modern French novel, was born in a middle-class family in Tours in central France, entered law school in 1816, and after graduation, despite the opposition of his parents, he resolutely embarked on the road of literary creation, but his first work, the five-act poetic tragedy "Cromwell", was a complete failure. Later, he co-authored the creation of burlesque novels and monster novels, and for a time abandoned literature to engage in business and run a business, publishing a series of famous books, etc., all of which failed. The failure of business and business left him with a lot of debt, which dragged him down for life, but it also laid a solid foundation for his later creations. In 1829, he took the first step in realism with the publication of his novel The Juan Party, and in 1831 he became famous with the publication of The Donkey's Skin. He wanted to make himself a literary Napoleon, and in the 30s and 40s he produced a large number of works with astonishing perseverance, and wrote a great deal in his lifetime, writing 91 novels and creating 2,472 lifelike characters, collectively known as The Human Comedy. It is known as an encyclopedia of capitalist society. ”

"Among the greatest men, Balzac is one of the first rank; Among the finest personalities, Balzac is the tallest one. ”

"Balzac wrote about the tragedy of the bourgeois family in The Human Comedy. In Eugenie Grande, under the rule of the principle of money, the family becomes a place where people deceive and plunder each other. And "Tall Old Man" shows that the daughter depletes her father's property, and then throws the father away like a squeezed lemon. As for "The Usurer", it depicts a father who forces his wife to death for money, and buries his daughter's life, and as a mother, he tries to usurp his husband's will in order to deprive his children of property. ”

Lecturer Chen began to tell the story, constantly disassembling and reorganizing the scenes of "The Human Comedy", and expounding Balzac's writing skills and literary conception through some contrasts.

During the recess, Ye Feng walked up to Tang Xin and said a few words, as if inviting Tang Xin to have dinner together, but Tang Xin shook his head and refused, he didn't insist anymore, and left with great grace.

Lecturer Chen nodded with satisfaction, it seems that his questions are still very effective, and many people have chosen to leave. Immediately, his brows furrowed, because he saw that Ye Leiyang actually sat behind Tang Xin. smiled, perseverance is a good thing, but the harder you work on the wrong path, the more digression, and he will teach the profound truth of the "love enemy" who is not on the same order of magnitude.

"Tang Xin, next week's school celebration is said to have a three-day holiday, will you go back to Beihai?" Ye Leiyang, who was sitting behind Tang Xin, naturally didn't know that he had been remembered, but said to Tang Xin with a smile.

Tang Xin was stunned for a moment, tilted his head and thought about it and said, "I don't have to." ”

Ye Leiyang nodded: "Okay, if we go back together?" ”

Tang Xin was a little surprised, but still nodded: "Okay, let's go together." ”

And at this time, Lecturer Chen's voice sounded: "That male classmate, you come and read this passage and translate it." ”

The classroom fell silent.
