Chapter 2: Arranged Marriages

When Wang Defu walked out of his dormitory and saw the scene on the campus called "Soochow University", he was further convinced that his soul had penetrated into this specious "Republic of China", no, it should be said that the Chinese empire that dominated the world never set.

Soochow University, where Wang Defu is located, is undoubtedly a famous university in the empire, even if it is not compared to the two world's top universities, Shendu University and Huaxia University, but if you use Wang Defu's original world universities as an analogy, at least it can be regarded as a "985" famous university.

In his previous life, Wang Defu only went to an ordinary second normal university, if he really went to a "985" famous school, then he would not go back to his small county town to become a teacher, and he would definitely have to go to a metropolis like Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou.

Soochow University, a famous university in the empire, is located in Suzhou, adhering to the spirit of the school motto of "nurturing the righteousness of heaven and earth, perfecting the ancient and modern people", and cultivating young students with "simplicity, enthusiasm, perseverance, and professional general knowledge", but this cannot change the essence of being a private university.

Wang Defu can go to this imperial famous school, not because of how good his grades are, in fact, the Chinese empire in this world does not have the kind of "one test for life" relatively fair college entrance examination system, but two examinations, that is, the national unified examination at the beginning of June every year is called the "University Entrance Center Examination", mainly basic subjects, Chinese language, foreign languages, mathematics, science, social subjects, the purpose of this examination is to help universities determine the high school education level of candidates. For most candidates, this exam is crucial because it is the first hurdle to get into college.

After the results of the first exam are released, candidates will take the second exam of the school they applied for in mid-June, which is conducted by each university itself, that is, the independent entrance examination. According to the candidate's desire and strengths, the candidate's professional knowledge and thinking ability are mainly measured. Each university has a different date for the second test, from mid-June to the end of June, so candidates can choose two universities to take the test.

Since there is such a university independent entrance examination, it naturally gives the opportunity to operate in the dark, and those public universities, under the will of the state, have very high requirements for the scores of the first "university entrance center examination", while private universities will naturally not do much high, and private universities are not running at a loss, but to make money.

In capitalist countries, the industrialization of education is a matter of course, and if you have money and connections, you can of course go to prestigious private universities.

Wang Defu's family is the local landlord in Suzhou, of course, not in the big city of Suzhou, but in Pingwang Town, Wujiang County, below Suzhou, the Wang family is the big family of Pingwang Town, and they can speak in the county, through the relationship in the county, of course, they can get to the city, and then spend a considerable amount of money, so they can naturally send Wang Defu, a guy who has never attended a new high school, to Soochow University.

That's right, although the imperial government is now vigorously promoting new-style schools and encouraging girls to go to school, in fact, the effect is not good, Wang Defu has been studying ethnic studies, private schools, learning ancient classics, similar to the Four Books and Five Classics and other things, but in this process, he came into contact with magazines such as "New Youth", "New Tide", "Juvenile Huaxia", etc., which strengthened his idea of going to university.

In order to go to college, he studied hard to learn the content of high school, and at the same time the relationship with his family was very stiff, anyway, the old lady of the Wang family looked at him unhappy, and felt that he was too rebellious and trendy, he was with the help of his eldest brother Wang Dexin, and he went to college as he wished, for which he also owed Wang Dexin a lot of money and favors.

Wang Dexin actually doesn't care if Wang Defu can pay it back, after all, this is his own brother, the father of the three brothers died early, he is the eldest brother, of course, he wants to treat his younger brothers like a father, after all, blood is thicker than water, and the feudal family-style education also makes Wang Dexin willing to help his younger brother, but Wang Defu himself is the kind of person who is never willing to owe favors, so he remembers the kindness of the eldest brother and vows that he will pay it back one day.

Just when Wang Defu was admiring the campus scenery of "Soochow University" and combing his memories, suddenly a classmate wearing a university uniform came over, of course, this school uniform is also very "Republic of China style", very similar to a Zhongshan suit, but I don't know what this world is called, after all, there is no Mr. Zhongshan in this world.

This classmate is Wang Defu's roommate, his name is Liu Qingshan, he has a letter in his hand, and when he saw Wang Defu, he said with a smile: "Mocun, it's a letter from your family again, and there have been three letters this week, what is so urgent?" ”

"Silent Storage" is Wang Defu's word, generally close to each other's classmates, are called by words, in fact, this is like another world's "nickname", "nickname", otherwise acquaintances directly call the name, always feel awkward, if there is a word, there is obviously no such problem, save sometimes the nickname is too indecent.

Wang Defu took the letter, and then thanked him, he couldn't help but miss his college career, he also gave his roommate help to get a courier, brought a meal, and now his roommate also did the same to him, he couldn't help but sigh, although the times have changed, the world has changed, but the friendship between the roommates in the university is similar.

After he worked, what he missed most was a free college career, but now he is a college student again, and he is still in a prestigious private school, which makes him feel that he has earned it.

However, when he opened the letter and saw the contents, his whole expression became gloomy, and he finally knew why the family sent letters one after another, it turned out that the family had given him a family affair when he was only eighteen years old, and the other party was also a young lady from a certain big family in Pingwang Town, and now urged him to go home to prepare for marriage......

There are three so-called unfilial pieties, and no queen is the largest, and before getting married, of course, you have to stand aside when you go to college.

Wang Defu felt that the whole person was confused, not to mention that this era is the time for the rise of free love, how could all evil arranged marriages fall on his head, in his previous life, he was so repulsive to blind dates, and now he actually asked him to marry a woman he had never seen at all, maybe only fifteen or sixteen years old, how could this be acceptable to him?

In the matter of marriage, even his eldest brother Wang Dexin could not give him support, he also wrote to his third brother, saying that studying in college and getting married are not conflicting, and then Soochow University does not accept women for the time being, looking for a girlfriend in college, that is a dream, and he is not interested in falling in love this year.

Wang Defu said in his heart that although there are no women in our university, but this is not a women's university and a girls' high school nearby, this girl who has read a book is better than a girl who has not read, fortunately there is no such bad habit as "wrapping small feet" in this world, otherwise he is really worried that he will marry a woman with small feet.

All in all, if Wang Defu wants to escape the fate of an arranged marriage, then he must be prepared to be cut off from his family's financial resources, and whether he can continue to go to this university is a question.
