Chapter 1: Ten Years of Revisiting

At the turn of the spring and summer of 1931, on the campus of Yenching University, a girl wearing a blue slanted jacket with a waist and an ankle-length black pleated skirt stopped in front of the lake for a while, and sighed deeply, as if she had a great sorrow.

Xie Shuyao was originally a good young man living in the 21st century after a hundred years, inexplicably came to the Republic of China period a hundred years ago, when he woke up, he became an eight or nine-year-old girl in the Republic of China in 1921, it is said that the little girl somehow slept in bed for five or six days, when the girl who had been asleep for a few days woke up, the whole family was immersed in joy, but they didn't know that it was Cao Ping from the 21st century who woke up more than 100 years later. In his previous life, he was also a chic and uninhibited person, although it was difficult to accept that he had become this little girl at first, but gradually accepted this identity and slowly integrated into the life of this little girl.

And when he woke up on this little girl, his father Xie Yingchang was teaching at Jinling University at that time, Xie Shuyao just thought that his family's economy was not bad, so that several children in the family went to school, and even the daughter of the family, Xie Shuyao, was allowed to go to school.

A few years ago, the Northern Expeditionary Army made a big fuss, and when he heard that he was going to attack Nanjing, his father moved to his grandfather's house in Peking with the whole family. Xie Shuyao always thought that his current family, just a better petty bourgeois family, came to his grandfather's house in Beiping, only to know that his family began to support the Westernization movement in the former Qing Dynasty, and later turned to Yuan Shikai and other Beiyang warlords in the Northern Expedition. When my father was ten years old, he was arranged by my grandfather to go abroad, and I studied to open my eyes and open my mind.

Later, the eldest brother went to college in Shanghai, and last year, at the request of his grandfather, the eldest brother went to the Whampoa Military Academy, although his mother tried her best to prevent the eldest brother from going to the military school, but after all, he still couldn't stop it. After the grandfather learned that the eldest brother was admitted, he immediately sent the eldest brother 1,000 silver dollars, you must know that the salary of an ordinary worker is only 15 silver dollars a month, you can imagine how much this is (the monthly salary of the police chief at that time was 40 silver dollars). You must know that after graduating from the Whampoa Military Academy, the eldest brother can follow Chairman Jiang's ass and become a member of the Whampoa Department under the old Jiang. Afterwards, Xie Shuyao was envious and wanted to go to the Whampoa Military Academy by himself to get a good sum of money.

The second brother was finally admitted to Yenching University a year ago, in 1930, that is, last year, and in the same year, Xie Shuyao himself was admitted to Peking University. Because Yenching University is a private church school, the tuition fee is naturally much more expensive than other national universities, and the tuition fee of Peking University is only 11 silver dollars per semester, 22 yuan a year; Yenching University's various fees add up to 81 silver dollars per semester, or 162 silver dollars per year. It's not a small difference, but it's definitely worth the money. Xie Shuyao compared it and found that this is similar to the tuition fee of tens of thousands of dollars a year in aristocratic universities in later generations and the tuition fees of thousands of public universities, Xie Shuyao knows that his parents' monthly salary is indeed a lot, but his father entertains friends and some celebrities every day, and the money he can save is indeed not much.

That year, his father Xie Yingchang quarreled with his uncle, and was later kicked out by his grandfather, so he moved to Jingshan East Street in Beiping, and rented a courtyard house near Peking University. Xie Shuyao was admitted to Peking University, and his father wanted Shuyao to also go to Yenching University, but Xie Shuyao refused and insisted on entering Peking University. Seeing that his daughter Shuyao insisted on going to Peking University, the father thought of Shu Yao's incomprehensible character, so he followed his daughter Shuyao's thoughts, Xie Yingchang thought that although the environment of Peking University was broken, Peking University was closer to home, so he could live at home without living on campus, and Xie Shuyao's mother Zhou Mengya also wanted her daughter to stay by her side, so she agreed after thinking about it.

Thinking of the admission exam, Xie Shuyao feels that the students living in this world are so happy, just take the Chinese language exam she took as an example! There are not many questions in the Bahasa Malaysia test paper, which are the contents of a piece of paper, including: translation of ancient poems into vernacular; Give you some titles and ask you to write about its author; What are the Four Books and Five Classics, and who are the eight masters of the Tang and Song Dynasties; wrote five pre-Qin books; Plus essay questions that can be chosen. Compared with the test papers of later generations, Xie Shuyao was simply shocked, and Xie Shuyao was undoubtedly admitted.

Later, a friend of my father's surname Wen came to Beijing from other places to do business, and he accidentally talked about the university entrance examination in the casual chat with his father, saying that a candidate in their school scored zero in mathematics this year, and wrote three lines of poetry in his composition. The poem goes like this: "Life is always chasing phantom light, but whoever sees the phantom light as phantom light sinks into the bottomless sea of suffering." Xie Shuyao intentionally transcribed this poem in his precious diary.

Xie Shuyao thought back to the past ten years, this ancient country in crisis, and truly realized such a turbulent era, how small his existence was in this great troubled era! It's like a drop of water on the calm lake, no matter how hard it tries, it can't set off the stormy waves, what is waiting for her is to merge into the lake, what is the use of powerless resistance! I'm afraid it's just adding a lot of troubles to myself, the more Xie Shuyao understands this era over the years, the more powerless she becomes, she is not a great man, she can't call on the people to resist, and she can't stop the warlords from fighting each other. Xie Shuyao saw that the hard-earned money of those ordinary people was just barely enough to starve to death! I have even heard that Chinese workers are not treated as human beings in foreigners' factories, and even Chinese workers are killed. Xie Shuyao felt that she couldn't change anything, in this troubled world, it was good to have a clear conscience for the country and the people, she was like a drop in this lake, insignificant!

Just like the turmoil that Beijing suffered in the past few years, Feng is a warlord who has taken control of Beijing. Later, the Northern Expeditionary Army occupied Beijing. Including Yan Xishan, Feng Yuxiang, Li Zhongren, etc., who broke out the Central Plains War with Chiang Kai-shek for seven months last year, and in the end it was Chiang Lao who won. No one can change history, fate seems to let him observe this troubled world as another observer, just like now she is looking at the water of this unnamed lake, and she is not a drop of water, she just looks at the waves of the lake quietly, and stays there quietly, as if the whole world has nothing to do with her. What Xie Shuyao didn't know was that in the eyes of passers-by, the woman by the lake had completely integrated with the lake, as if she should be there, she belonged there, and this good woman had become the scenery of the lakeside.

To outsiders, she quietly looked at the calm lake in front of her. At that time, when he came to Beijing for a trip during the summer vacation of college, he also went to Peking University, and took pictures on the shore of the Weiming Lake of Peking University. Xie Shuyao couldn't help but have a smile on the corner of her mouth when she thought about it, but at this time, Weiming Lake was not from Peking University, and Weiming Lake was now on the campus of this Yenching University. Yenching University was founded by the famous Situ Leiden, and Xie Shuyao thought that he would definitely meet this legendary figure if he had the opportunity.

Suddenly, a small stone fell into the lake in front of the girl, breaking the originally calm lake surface and interrupting Xie Shuyao's memories. Not far away, a girl in a white cheongsam smiled and asked, "Shu Yao, what are you smirking at there alone?" Not yet to keep up with us. ”

The woman who threw pebbles and splashed water to interrupt Xie Shuyao's memories was called Zhao Ting, the daughter of her father and friend. Her father was able to teach at Peking University, but her father at Peking University helped him, and of course his father and her father were also very good friends.

Xie Shuyao smiled and pointed to the scenery not far away: "You see that there is a boya tower, there is a lake here, and there is a library, and together there is a tower lake map (a mess)." ”

"A tower lake map, a mess. It's really only Shu Yao's brain that can come up with these things. The man on the side couldn't help but be amazed when he heard it. The other boy next to him was smiling and silent, and his eyes looking at Xie Shuyao seemed to be a little unusual.

Not far away, the woman suddenly found a new continent and exclaimed in surprise: "Ah! Shu Yao! That's true! There's a tower, a library, and this lake, why didn't I think of it? Shu Yao, you are so smart, you have discovered this. Then Zhao Ting quietly came to Xie Shuyao's side, covered her hand in Xie Shuyao's ear and said softly: "Do you know that you were just in a daze by the lake, and many passers-by are looking at you." ”

After Xie Shuyao listened, he suddenly thought of a poem that had been circulated for a long time, so he turned his head and whispered in Zhao Ting's ear playfully, "I suddenly thought of a poem I once saw, which said: You stand on the bridge and look at the scenery, and the people watching the scenery are watching you from upstairs." The bright moon decorates your windows, and you decorate other people's dreams. ”

After speaking, seeing the pink face of the girl in front of her, she was a little embarrassed, and quickly kissed Zhao Ting's cheek. After succeeding, he hid to the side and snickered, as if it had nothing to do with her at this time. The man who praised Xie Shuyao just now seemed to be shocked by this scene, while the other man was startled at first, and after seeing the twitching expression on the corner of his friend Xie Chen's mouth, he was also relieved, and looked at this bold woman named Xie Shuyao with interest.

The girl who was kissed this time blushed with shame, stomped her feet in place in shame, looked at Xie Shuyao's resentful eyes, and wanted to dig off a piece of her meat, Zhao Ting saw Xie Shuyao covering her mouth and snickering, snorted angrily, and ignored the thief who stole the incense. Xie Shuyao saw Zhao Ting's resentful eyes, and suddenly thought of another sentence, if the eyes could kill, he didn't know that he had been killed hundreds of times by that resentful eyes.

Xie Shuyao realized how eye-catching her actions were just now, and many people by the lake were frightened by her behavior, that's right, Xie Shuyao saw the fright in the eyes of passers-by, Xie Shuyao realized that this is the Republic of China, and her little prank doesn't seem to fit this conservative era, no wonder they are so surprised. grabbed Zhao Ting's arm and made a playful grimace at her, which made Zhao Ting, who was strained in her face, laugh, and easily eliminated Zhao Ting's resentment.

After Xie Shuyao finished grimacing, he turned to the man behind him who kept twitching the corners of his mouth and asked with a knowing smile, "Brother, what's wrong with you?" Do you want my little sister to show you? ”

Xie Chen, who was familiar with this smiling little eye, was so frightened that he hurriedly flashed to the side, cautiously vigilant, he had suffered a lot of losses since he was a child, and there were many bad ideas in his smiling eyes!

"No, you don't! Not at all! Xie Chen was so frightened that he hurriedly shook his head and waved his hand.

"Okay, let's stop messing with you. By the way, it's not early, we're almost done, let's go back! Xie Shuyao saw that it was not early, and it was time to go back.

"It's a little late, Lu Ming, go back to the dormitory first! I'm sending my sisters back, and I won't be going back to the dormitory tonight. Xie Chen said to the boy beside him.

This person named Lu Ming smiled and said to Xie Chen: "I'll send you to the school gate, just as I'm going to go outside to buy some things, let's go together!" ”

At the moment when Xie Shuyao and his party walked out of the gate of Yenching University, they suddenly thought of Situ Leiden again, turned around and glanced at the plaque on the school gate, and suddenly blurted out: "Farewell, Situ Leiden." ”

"Farewell, it's a mess!" Zhao Ting also pretended to be reluctant to face the gate of Yenching University.

"Seriously, I'm really reluctant to leave, what people said is true, Peking University is old, Normal University is poor, and Tsinghua Yanjing can be accommodating. Look at other people's schools, you look at our school, you can't compare! Xie Shuyao pouted and complained indignantly.

Seeing Xie Shuyao so sentimental, Zhao Ting took Xie Shuyao's arm and comforted: "What is there to be reluctant to!" If you want to play, you can come! Am I not in this school? Feel free to come to me! ”

"You've got it! Is this good for your environment? Xie Shuyao said the hardest.

"Why not, there is heating and telephone ...... in the dormitory," Zhao Ting said one by one with her fingers crossed.

"Stop, stop, your school is good, it's okay!" Xie Shuyao really didn't want to hear her show off, so she hurriedly shook Zhao Ting's arm and begged for mercy.

(Xie Shuyao said this because Yenching University was not a coeducational school, and at that time, many girls went to college.) Boys and girls went to school separately, and many people at the time thought that co-education was not in order, so they taught them separately. Girls' schools, as the name suggests, are all women, those who teach are women, and those who do chores are women, which is also one of the reasons why Xie Shuyao is reluctant to apply for Yan University, after all, Xie Shuyao is from the era of co-education in later generations. And Xie Shuyao said: 'Peking University is old, the teacher is poor, and Tsinghua Yan is accommodating!' This is a standard for choosing a mate among female students in Beijing at that time, which means that the boys who go to Peking University are older, and even many of them are married and have children; As the name suggests, the students of the Normal University were relatively poor, and most of the normal schools at that time were attended by children from poor families, because the Normal University did not need to pay tuition fees at that time, and some families with difficulties even had subsidies; Tsinghua Yan University can be accommodating, that is to say, the boys in these two schools are still very good, and the family background of Tsinghua Yan University is very good, after all, they can afford to pay their high tuition fees, and their education is also very good, and it is rare to find a boyfriend in these two schools. ）

……

After everyone chatted a few words at the school gate, Lu Ming also said goodbye to Xie Shuyao and the others and went alone. After Xie Shuyao saw the man leaving, he breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably, Xie Shuyao didn't know what was wrong with him, thinking about it, that guy's eyes were really sharp, as if he could see people's hearts, it was really uncomfortable. Although he is polite everywhere and gives people the feeling of being gentle and elegant, he is still quite afraid of this person in his heart, this fear even Xie Shuyao doesn't know why he is afraid, maybe he is too worried, Xie Shuyao comforted himself like this.

After sending Zhao Ting back to school, she returned to her home on Jingshan East Street, saw her father chatting with a foreigner, and politely greeted the guests, so she pulled the second brother to push the door and came to the second brother Xie Chen's room, sat on Xie Chen's bed and asked, "Who is that Lu Ming?" ”

Xie Chen said with a smile: "My classmate roommate! What does this do, you ask? You're not going to be interesting to him, are you? ”

Xie Shuyao stared at Xie Chen's eyes wide, poked Xie Chen's head with his finger and pretended to be annoyed. "What do you think! It's all dirty stuff in my head! I see that this person is inconsistent, don't be deceived by him! ”

"Little sister! How old are you, you still poke me in the head, what should I do if I poke stupidly! If you do this again, be careful that you can't find your in-laws in the future! Xie Chen said a little angrily, and after finishing speaking, he realized that it was impossible to joke about finding her sister-in-law's house. Xie Chen saw the eyes that could kill, as if he had seen something terrible, and hurriedly wanted to grab the door and run for his life......

A few seconds later, a pig-killing scream was heard......
