Chapter 30: Empty Grief and Indignation
Because of the second copying, Si Ying was left with only a blank piece of paper, and she was extra careful when she copied the article, and she typed the manuscript in her heart before writing, and finally completed it in one go. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The next morning, after Song Wanqing received her homework for the calligraphy class, she ran to Si Ying and said, "Si Ying, can you go with me...... I...... I'm a little scared ......."
Si Ying thought for a while and nodded: "Then let's go." He took half a stack of homework from Song Wanqing's hand, got up and walked with her, and the homework left by Mr. Jingxue Zhong was placed on the table.
When Song Wanqing handed the notebook to Mr. Lin, her heart rose to her throat, and Mr. Lin took it and glanced at it casually, and put it aside. When she went out, Song Wanqing breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled at Si Ying: "You really said it well." ā
Si Ying smiled: "Now you can rest assured, okay, let's go back, don't you still have to accept the homework left by Mr. Zhong?" ā
Song Wanqing nodded and followed Si Ying back to the school.
Si Ying returned to his seat and found that the article on the table was missing, and he hurriedly searched for it, and the article somehow floated to the ground behind the seat. She hurried over and picked up the paper, but was dumbfounded. I don't know when someone sprinkled a puddle of water, and the article she wrote happened to fall on it, soaked a large area, and the handwriting on it was blurred.
She then held up the wet article and asked angrily, "Who did this?" ā
The crowd turned to look at her, but no one spoke. Si Ying asked the two people in front of her again: "Do you know who got my homework to the ground?" ā
The two of them hurriedly said: "We don't know this, we just came back, and that's it when we come back." ā
Si Ying saw Qiao Lirong in front of the left diagonal again: "Lirong, you just came here, who soiled my schoolwork?" ā
Qiao Lirong lowered her head and said, "This...... I didn't see it either, sorry......"
Seeing her dodgy eyes, Si Ying knew that she didn't want to cause trouble, so she didn't say anything, and when she looked back, He Menglian and Zhuang Xuemei were looking at her proudly. She knew that this matter had nothing to do with them.
But at this time, she had no choice but to endure her anger and asked again: "Forget it, do you have paper?" Lend me one and I'll copy it. ā
Qiao Lirong shook her head: "I don't have any extra ...... I didn't bring ...... today."
Si Ying then walked to the front and asked the students, "Excuse me, who is still rich in paper?" Can you lend me one? ā
Someone was just about to speak, and suddenly He Menglian stood up: "I also need paper, whoever has paper, I bought it, fifty yuan a piece." As he spoke, he took out two handfuls of money and piled them on the table. An ordinary-sized piece of rice paper is less than two pennies, and the poor quality is less than a penny, and He Menglian paid dozens of times the price.
Sure enough, a few students from not very wealthy families gave He Menglian their extra paper, one of them had two pieces of paper, she looked at Si Ying, and asked He Menglian: "Or, I'll sell you one?" ā
He Menglian sneered: "Either sell me, or don't sell me." Whoever gives the paper to Gu Siying is against me, you think clearly. ā
The man smiled embarrassedly and gave the paper to He Menglian, and He Menglian exaggerated the count of a hundred and gave it to her.
There are a few girls with good backgrounds in Zhai, although they don't look down on He Menglian's style, but because she is not an ordinary rich family in terms of food and clothing on weekdays, and there are many rumors about her background, they don't dare to offend her easily, so they don't speak.
Although Si Ying was annoyed in his heart, he was helpless.
Song Wanqing has finished her homework and put it on the lesson plan. Seeing Si Ying standing in front of him in trouble, he walked over and whispered: "The first class is Mr. Zhong's, he will come later, you can talk to him well." After saying that, he quickly lowered his head and left.
Si Ying felt a little resentful of Song Wanqing in her heart, in order to help her copy the notebook, she used up the saved paper, otherwise why not. But she knew that Song Wanqing couldn't help it, and it was useless to blame her.
After a while, Mr. Zhong walked in with square steps. Si Ying said to Mr. Zhong: "Sir, the article I wrote somehow fell into the water and got dirty. Can I hand it in a little later, and I don't have any paper, can you send me another piece of paper. ā
Mr. Zhong liked Si Ying very much, and said with a smile: "Then let's do it, you have copied it in this class and handed it to me, but I don't have any paper there, I have to take the exam, I want to judge your papers, there is no place to put them, I took everything back two days ago." Why don't you go to your chief and ask him. Don't worry, we're a female student, so there's no paper. ā
Si Ying nodded and said, "Thank you, sir." "Hurry out and look for the fasting chief.
Peng Zhaichang was sitting at his table, and Si Ying walked in and said, "Zhaichang is good." ā
"What's the matter?" Peng Zhai asked.
"The paper on which I wrote the article was stained, and Mr. Zhong asked me to copy it again, and I want to get a piece of paper from you." As soon as the words came out, Si Ying also felt the apprehension in his heart.
Peng Zhaichang frowned, looked at the stack of papers on the table, and said, "Why are you so careless." These papers are for your exam tomorrow, one for each subject, there are numbers, I don't have any extra this, now it's the end of the year, if you want paper, you have to get it from the treasury next year. ā
Si Ying knew that Peng Zhai was prejudiced against her, but she felt that no matter how she was, she would not compete on a piece of paper, and said with a smile: "Then can you please get another one from the treasury, or ask other Zhai if he is rich, Mr. Zhong's score in this homework will be included in the annual examination, you can help me think of a way." ā
Peng Zhai said: "It's not that I don't want to help you, the warehouse has been inventoried and sealed at the end of the year, and I can't get it anymore." Since you said that this score should be included in the exam, then it can't be given to you, whether it is a big test or a small test, there will be no score if you stain the paper, you should know this rule. In the future, when you take the female official exam, you will only be issued two pieces of paper for a time, and if the writing is broken, there will be no more. Besides, it's not fair to other students, don't blame me for being unkind, this incident is a lesson, you go back. ā
There were several other fasting chiefs in the room, and they looked at each other, exchanged glances, some pouted, others smiled disdainfully, but they did not speak.
Si Ying hung his head and went out of the house, and ran to the logistics, wanting to discuss with the warehouse manager, can you first She, next year and wait for the new paper, and then return it, to the warehouse to see, the door has been sealed, the stewards have taken the first step to go home on vacation, only a mother-in-law to watch the door, and she does not have a warehouse key, so that Si Ying's previous ideas have failed.
Si Ying returned to Maoxue again, pacing slowly along the corridor, she was unwilling to go back and tell Mr. Zhong that she couldn't hand in her homework, so her annual exam results would definitely be greatly affected. Thinking about it, I can only ask Peng Zhaichang, the exam paper has a manuscript paper, a copy of paper, ask her to bring her her own manuscript paper first, when it comes to the exam, she only uses a piece of paper, even if there is a mistake, it is better than no result, but how to plead to make her relax......
While Si Ying was thinking about the words, the other two fasting chiefs came out of the room, and as they walked, they whispered to Si Ying. Si Ying was afraid that he would be seen hanging out here, so he hurriedly hid behind the pillars.
I only heard one of the fasting chiefs say: "It seems that she will still take Jiazhai next year." ā
"It should be, with Jin Xuezheng covering, she even dares to call out the school governor." The other sneered.
"Look at her face today, who doesn't know that she sold all the paper to make extra money, and she was embarrassed to teach the students strictly, of course she won't go to the logistics to get it, the logistics mother-in-law said that the loss she reported was more than last year, and the students didn't have to use it, where did you say, ......"
"Heh, there's no way, she relied on Jin Xuezheng to take care of the errand of consumables, and even we are stretched, this person is too greedy, and others have to keep some spare, she is really a good person, and she doesn't leave any more......"
"Forget it, who of us can afford to mess with her......"
The two men said and stepped out of the side door and walked away.
Listening to the words of these two people, Si Ying's heart gradually cooled down, she clenched her fists, and because of money, it was just such a few pennies, I, Gu Siying, had fallen to this point, and I had to do my best to please this kind of villain, heh, but even if she gave me a piece of paper with great mercy, what kind of sage article could I write with this kind of paper......
Grief and indignation, she had already put away the intention of lowering her posture and pleading, and unconsciously paced out the door, walking aimlessly, I don't know how long she walked, and when she came back to her senses, she found that she was already in front of the garden in the northeast corner of the school palace. There is a plaque on the moon gate of the garden, with three big characters on it - Fuguang Yuan, the name comes from Chen Yinkeng's "Crossing the Green Grass Lake" in the Southern Dynasty, "with the sky clear and blue, reflecting the sun and moving the floating light." ā
She hadn't been here before, she used to go home after class, and she had been busy studying since she lived in the school palace, and it was autumn and winter, and the flowers in the garden were gone, so she didn't want to come. She stepped into the garden, where there was silence, and there was no one here. There was only decaying grass in the flower beds, and the leaves of the trees had fallen off, leaving some bare branches stretching out with teeth and claws.
In the middle of the garden was a pond with a lotus flower, which had withered at this time, and the yellowed lotus leaves could not bear the ravages of the north wind, and hung their heads tremblingly. There is a steep rockery on the edge of the pond, surrounded by a few strange rocks, through which the sheep intestine path winds through. The rockery is entangled with all kinds of vine branches, and in the summer this must be a place where the grass is lush and fragrant, and at this time only a few yellowed leaves still refuse to leave the dead vines, shivering under the cold wind. To the northwest of the pond is a forest that was originally not large, but after 80 years of growth, the trees here have grown into towering trees. In the summer, the shade is cool and pleasant, and the birds are surrounded by birds, and at this time, the cold wind passes through the branches, leaving the ground full of sorrow.
Si Ying looked at the decay in front of him, and his heart was even more desolate. Originally, although she was not the proud daughter of the sky, she also had her parents holding her in the palm of her hand to love, and now anyone can bully her, in the past, He Menglian took out that little money just to laugh and be generous, Peng Zhaichang probably forgot how to meet him at the beginning, and the appearance of the front and back is really disgraceful.
It's just such a villain, so that she can't move, it's all because she has no money, even if she has a few pennies, and she has prepared some paper, why was she forced to this extent by them, it's ridiculous to say, women's school is a place to study, the most important thing is paper and pen, but there is no one for her to use, is there such a ridiculous thing in the world? She was angry and hateful, so sad and indignant that she walked to a lesson willow tree next to the rockery, looked at the sparkling lake and couldn't help but whimper. The garden was originally very quiet, and her mournful cry echoed in the rockery, startling a few birds, fluttering across the water, as if the heavens and the earth were also responding to her sorrow.
At this time, there was a sound of Xixi Suo from the rockery, Si Ying remembered the story he had heard before, someone broke through other people's selfishness by the lake, and was pushed into the water, and said in his heart: "It shouldn't be so unlucky, and someone will be killed when you go to a garden." The more I thought about it, the more frightened I became, my heart rose to my throat, and the crying stopped, only to hear the sound of footsteps accompanied by the rustle of dead leaves, approaching step by step, Si Ying wanted to run, but his legs and feet were weak for a while, and he couldn't move.
A figure walked out of the hidden rocks, Si Ying took a closer look, it was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old young man, his face was like a cut, sharp edges and corners, his eyebrows were like ink paintings, he flew obliquely into the sideburns, the corners of his eyes were slightly raised, his eyes were deep, his body was long, and he was wearing a very common pale green shirt on the market, but he wore an outstanding and noble bearing, and there were no luxurious ornaments on his body, but no one dared to treat him as an ordinary scholar.
With a natural elegance in his gestures, he exudes calmness and restraint beyond his age, but his gaze is cold, with a penetrating indifference, as if everything is not worth his attention. This kind of temperament in other teenagers will only make people feel pretentious, but in him it is taken for granted, because it is a kind of thoroughness based on strong self-confidence, as if there is no problem in front of him, and there is no difficult doubt to solve.
Si Ying felt his strength, and felt very down-to-earth for no reason, and for a while she forgot to be afraid, and she forgot to be sad, and even Fang Cai's anxiety dissipated unconsciously, she looked at the young man quietly, and there was a tear on her cheek.
And the young man saw the little girl with tears in Pear Blossom, frowned slightly, Si Ying was slightly nervous in his heart, I don't know how he looked at his appearance, and he faintly looked forward to what he would say to himself, but this young man didn't seem to be interested in other people's affairs, only glanced at her, then stopped looking at her, and picked a big stone not far from Si Ying to sit down.
Just when she thought that the young man would ignore her, and a faint disappointment rose in her heart, a sentence fluttered in her ear, but it knocked heavily on her eardrums: "Instead of crying uselessly on the side, it's better to jump down." The voice was low and magnetic, low back in the ear, infiltrating the heart, although alienated and indifferent, but so good, people couldn't help but listen to it, but the meaning of the words was clearly full of malice and mockery.
Si Ying was stunned for a moment and reacted, and a look of shame instantly rose on his face, igniting the anger and grievances that had accumulated in his heart over the past few days, and he was angry for a while, leaving all his upbringing and demeanor behind, glaring at the young man fiercely, and shouting: "Don't say anything if you don't know how to speak, who do you think you dare to point fingers at me, do whatever I want, you should die!" This pool is left for you to jump slowly! ā
Si Ying's reaction was somewhat unexpected by the young man, because none of the girls who cried in front of him didn't want to cry and beg him, even if they said this kind of thing, it would only make them cry more aggrieved, and their posture should be lowered, the weak begged for the mercy of the strong, and the lower ones pinned their hopes on the alms of the superior, which was a common reason for him. But the girl in front of her was like a fried kitten, with an aggressive posture and a fierce look in her eyes, as if if he said anything more, she would rush up and push him into the pond.
The young man was not angry at such rudeness, but as if he had discovered something interesting, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, and a little light appeared in his eyes, as soon as his alienated and indifferent expression disappeared, the world around him seemed to come alive, looking at the girl in front of him, he turned his head to look at Si Ying with a lazy smile, and said lightly: "It seems that he is still quite energetic." ā
Si Ying glared at him fiercely, snorted, and turned to leave.
