Chapter 2 School Presentations
Han Zhongqiu was at ease, and slept until twelve o'clock before he dragged his feet and went to the yamen to answer the law.
Shen Chuyun couldn't look at it, so he first avoided the new house and gossiped with Xiang Lan for a while. And because the aunts and sisters of the family have come here to see the bride. There were too many people, so it made Shen Chuyun, who was sleep-deprived, buzz in his head, so he used the excuse of taking a step in advance.
When I was about to walk into my yard, I felt that staying alone always had to touch the scene. I can't make myself cry every day for a stinky man with no conscience. Because he thought that Liang Xiuzhen would not go to the new house to play, he turned around and went to chat with her.
At this time, Liang Xiuzhen was in front of the mirror, fiddling with the silver-gray silk robe on her body.
When Shen Chuyun saw it, he smiled and said: "In the morning, I saw that you were still wearing new green clothes, not to mention the good material and fashionable style, and I also embroidered a peacock on it with silk thread." When the sun shines, even ......" wanted to say that even the bride was compared, but he was afraid that these words would hook Liang Xiuzhen's full of complaints, so he hurriedly changed his words vaguely, "In short, it is very beautiful, and the people and clothes are also beautiful." Why do you want to change it again? ”
With this praise, Liang Xiuzhen could not hide her smugness, and she was still modest.
In fact, the new dress was expensive, and it was supposed to be worn when preparing for an important occasion. Because he saw the new daughter-in-law at home being an eyesore, he wore it out and deliberately suppressed her momentum.
Liang Xiuzhen turned around and beckoned Shen Chuyun to sit down, and then couldn't help exclaiming: "Oh, why are my sister-in-law's eyes swollen like this, didn't you sleep well last night?" ”
Shen Chuyun smiled bitterly and sighed.
Liang Xiuzhen raised her eyebrows slightly, made a sympathetic look, and said, "Sister-in-law, don't blame me for being troublesome. I've heard...... Big brother was at home last night. Why is it still making trouble? ”
Shen Chuyun, who only cared about fiddling with the flowers on the table, replied with a little frustration: "That's it, let's not talk about it." Talking too much is like an old-fashioned resentful woman, not civilized at all. ”
When Liang Xiuzhen heard this, she was funny: "Sister-in-law is a new woman in the end, and every casual sentence carries a new trend of thought." No wonder the newspapers call you Mr. Shen instead of Mrs. Han, you are really a model of the new woman. According to this momentum, the next president of the Women's Promotion Association will not be Mr. Shen. ”
Shen Chuyun's face was slightly red, and he waved his hand and humbly said: "I also catch ducks on the shelves, where is the real new style?" I can't hide what I used to be like from my family. After that, I couldn't help but be stunned.
"Anyway, my father always appreciates my sister-in-law." Liang Xiuzhen shook her head and sneered, "Actually, the topic of women's independence is just a mirage in the current world. If there is no little wife in the family of the court official, even the master of our family is also ......" The words at the bottom somewhat offended Han Yansun, so she swallowed it with a smile, and then said something else to persuade, "According to the theory of Western philosophers, human desires are difficult to resist, and I am afraid that this is the case at the level of flowers." Sister-in-law might as well learn from me, just don't care. If you let go, the eldest brother may still have a trace of guilt and respect you more. What's more, my father doesn't advocate any news in the family now, even if he has one or two confidants, he can only communicate secretly. Thinking about this, don't you feel more relieved? ”
No matter what Shen Chuyun's original intention was to join the Women's Promotion Association, in short, in the past few years, she has been exposed to a lot of new ideas, and it is difficult to understand this old-fashioned concept. Sit down again, and continue to listen to these words of patience and duty, I am afraid that there will be a quarrel.
Shen Chuyun said perfunctorily, "It's not me", and then while getting up, he laughed at himself: "I'm just a little stinky temper, and my father has always encouraged me to make some achievements in women's work, so I have become an idealistic and stubborn. ”
Liang Xiuzhen hurriedly pulled her and wanted to leave her for lunch together.
Where is Shen Chuyun willing, as soon as he slips away, he will disappear.
Liang Xiuzhen made a gesture and chased her outside, then leaned against the door and smiled contemptuously: "Heh, new thoughts." ”

As soon as she entered the courtyard, Zhang's mother ran out and said with a smile: "The eldest young grandmother is back, but it just so happens that I was about to look for it, and the principal of the fourth girls' middle school called to find you." ”
Taking a deep breath, Shen Chuyun sorted out his thoughts, picked up the earpiece inside, and politely called the other party "Principal Wang".
A capable middle-aged female voice came from the earpiece: "Mr. Shen, it was originally planned that there would only be a speech event tomorrow. But just now the Children's Hospital called and asked for our help. Because of the recent flood situation in southern Anhui, the hospital has treated a group of girls who have been abandoned due to the disaster. The director wanted to wait for them to recover and then contact the welfare home for adoption. However, in response to the initiative of the Zheng government, both public and private welfare homes have set up some rooms as temporary shelters for the victims, but they are no longer able to accept these children. So, I would like to ask us if we can allow them to send someone to do a fundraiser in front of the auditorium while they are speaking tomorrow. If it's convenient, I hope you can help appeal at the end of your speech. ”
Shen Chuyun heard that the hospital only mentioned the girl, so he could imagine the reason for the abandonment, and he couldn't help but be stunned.
There is not only one thing in this world, there is not only one thing about marriage, there are many colors and darkness, and there are so many things to worry about. In comparison, Han Zhongqiu is nothing.
Principal Wang thought that silence represented a refusal, so he smiled and said that this was not something that had to be agreed, and he was about to hang up the phone.
Shen Chuyun turned around and said continuously: "No, no, no, Principal Wang, don't misunderstand." I'm just thinking...... These children must have suffered a lot, and thinking of their pity was just a momentary distraction. I only have one arrangement tomorrow for your school to speak, and it does not hinder other things, and I am happy and honored to participate in it. ”

The next day, Shen Chuyun wore a silk white dress and a black skirt. With a thin powder on his face, he stretched out his fingers and tapped his lips in the mirror, and the lipstick became extremely natural. The whole body is also refreshing and refreshing, without wearing a piece of jewelry, and it is a new school of civilized people to dress up.
The auditorium of the fourth girls' middle school was already packed.
Although such an occasion has been passed many times a long time ago, the more he experienced, the more Shen Chuyun could feel the weight of the burden on his shoulders.
Principal Wang is an educator, and giving speeches is her specialty, and the atmosphere in the auditorium became warm.
A few female students who helped organize this event looked at the flow chart in their hands and whispered: "It's Mr. Shen who will be on the stage later." ”
"Is it the eldest and youngest grandmother in the Foreign Minister of Han's mansion?"
"That's natural, how could she be missing on such an occasion!"
Another female student returned to her seat from the backstage and excitedly joined their discussion: "I saw Mr. Shen, his skin was as white as snow, and his cherry mouth was red without a dot. Whether sitting or standing, the waist is straight. It is not at all like some women, who always bend forward slightly, as if they are accustomed to oppression, ready to nod their heads at any time. I think she is what the newspaper said, both the soft beauty of Eastern women and the confident beauty of Western women! ”
Before they could continue, the applause swallowed up all their beautiful words.
Shen Chuyun walked on stage, looking at his demeanor in the eyes of everyone. Only she knows that her heart has jumped to her throat at this moment.
Principal Wang, who stepped down from the podium first, had already walked to the back of the auditorium to confirm that the microphone and large speakers were bringing the sound to all corners.
The door to the auditorium was carefully pushed open by a third. Then a round girl's face was revealed, and then she wore pale red clothes, and half of her body was hung with a goose yellow silk scarf around her neck.
I saw that the woman tried her best to control the sound of footsteps and the sound of the door shaft turning, and sneaked in.
At this time, Shen Chuyun was speaking on the stage to make his final summary: "I think that when we pursue equality, we must first pursue equality between men and women. Give women the opportunity to get an education and sow the seeds of equality from generation to generation......"
The woman who was late was looking to see if there were still empty seats in the auditorium, but when she heard this, her eyes lit up, and she stood still with a smile and applauded with everyone.
Principal Wang also applauded, but there was a trace of confusion in his eyes. I felt that the person who came was a little kind, as if I had seen it somewhere, but I couldn't think of it for a while.
A female student in the back row, a loyal follower of Shen Chuyun, heard a speech from a person she admired for the first time at the scene, excitedly held up a newspaper and waved it vigorously on the page with Shen Chuyun's interview.
This move happened to allow Principal Wang to see another interview with the character on the back of the newspaper.
There is a half-length photograph of a young woman with her fashionable curly hair unkempt on the right side and a sweet smile on her face. A long oval drop earring hanging on the left ear alone shows a new aesthetic that is different from the traditional symmetrical aesthetic. The title reads: The Communicator of Civilization - Teresa Teng.
Principal Wang suddenly realized, hurriedly grabbed the girl who was about to leave, stretched out his hand, and smiled at her: "This is the famous Miss Deng, I have admired her for a long time." ”
It turned out that she was in this newspaper, and Teng Lisa occupied half of the page.
As the headmistress of the best girls' middle school in Beijing, Principal Wang is naturally very prestigious in society. Teresa Teng had also seen her photo, so she didn't hesitate, and stretched out her hand to shake it back: "Principal Wang, it should be me who said Jiuyang." ”
"The afterlife is terrifying and gratifying." Principal Wang was polite, and then led her to the backstage to meet Shen Chuyun. Along the way, she kept praising Teresa Teng, "I have always heard that Miss Deng went abroad to study art, but after returning to China, she has been engaged in helping newspapers translate some foreign articles on protecting women's rights and interests." We are all comrades on the same front, and we should communicate with each other more often in the future. ”
