Benjamin was relieved when he heard that it was just such a request, quickly sat down, and carefully introduced Xing Shuang.

Now there are eighteen colleges in Cambridge, among which the Peter College where Jia Lian went is the first college established in Cambridge and the one with the strongest faculty today. And the college that Wang Xifeng went to was the first women's college established six years ago.

"We all say that Feng is lucky, she was born in a new era, and now there is even a women's college. Before that, a woman did not have the right to go to school. ”

Benjamin said with a smile: "Speaking of which, fortunately, Cynthia of the Xiul family is going to the women's college, Feng refused to go at first, but then someone accompanied her, and Lian has been encouraging her, so she made up her mind." ”

Calling Benjamin by name like this is normal in the West. However, the Oriental people were a little dissatisfied when they heard it, and the first few girls behind the screen, when they heard Benjamin call his sister-in-law's name, their faces were flushed with anger, and they couldn't wait to scold him for being a disciple.

Xing Shuang sat there listening, and suddenly heard the head behind the screen, thought about it, and understood why the girls couldn't sit still, and immediately laughed.

"Ben, I want to warn you that it is actually rude to call women by their first names in the East."

Benjamin was stunned: "Oh, my wife, I know it too, but I'm used to it for a while, I'm sorry." Ming Minglian reminded me many times, I was so confused. ”

Xing Shuang smiled: "I know that you Westerners will call your friends by their names, and sometimes even your uncles and aunts by name. ”

"Yes, yes, ma'am, you are so clever." Benjamin immediately chimed in: "Mr. Lian said that everything he was taught by his mother, and we didn't believe it at first. I didn't expect it to be true, Madam, you are much wiser and more sensible than most of our mothers, and you don't know how much we envy Lian. ”

Xing Shuang was a little embarrassed by his praise, diverted the topic, and continued to ask Wang Xifeng about it: "So is Feng still used to it over there?" ”

Benjamin immediately replied, "Oh, she was so shy at first. Really, I've never seen such a reserved woman. But fortunately, Ryan brought his sister to the party, and she met more Western women, and people gradually became cheerful.

"I've never seen a woman as funny as her, she's so attractive. And she's so beautiful! Of course, Lian is also very handsome, and they are recognized by us as the most perfect pair.

"It's a heartbreaking thing for a lot of people, and we often say that if they weren't husband and wife, there would be countless people in Cambridge who would break the rules and duel for them."

Xing Shuang laughed when she heard this, but the girls behind the screen couldn't understand what was going on.

"Speaking of the rules of dueling, it's a good thing that Cambridge doesn't have this ethos."

When Benjamin heard this, he was deeply moved: "Madame's words are so true, my father used to say that life is the most precious thing. So between Cambridge and Oxford, our family chose Cambridge. Those who can choose Cambridge are very sorry for their lives. ”

Xing Shuang asked at the right time: "I have never been able to understand what you will duel for. ”

Benjamin hurriedly explained to Xing Shuang, but in fact, this question was explained to the girls behind the screen, and Xing Shuang already knew this.

Hearing that these Westerners throw away their gloves when they disagree, and have to duel with others for various reasons at every turn, and may even lose their lives, the girls behind the screen were dumbfounded.

Tanchun couldn't help it, and whispered in her sister's ear: "Since it's so dangerous, how dare my mother send my second brother out?" ”

Yingchun also whispered back to her: "Didn't you listen to that person? Cambridge didn't have this habit, so his mother sent him there. ”

Daiyu was also a little worried: "What if someone outside goes in?" ”

As soon as a few people spoke, Benjamin heard it, and there was a screen through it, and no matter how small the voice was, there was movement.

He looked at the screen behind Madame in surprise, then at Madame, and when he saw Madame smiling and shaking her head at him, he simply pretended not to hear anything.

Benjamin sat in the Little Flower Hall all morning. It wasn't until the maid came in and informed Xing Shuang that it was time to eat, and Xing Shuang was shocked that time passed quickly.

"Our Oriental habit is that men and women are not allowed to sit at the same table, so it is inconvenient for me to keep you for dinner. But Lian's nephew will accompany you out to eat, and by the way, find a place to live for you. ”

Xing Shuang stood up and said this, which was equivalent to sending off a guest.

Benjamin understood what was meant and stood up in a salute. Jia Yun followed him out of the door, Xing Shuang turned to the back of the screen, and said to the girls: "My mouth is closed for a while, the old lady doesn't know about it, don't say it." ”

The four of them nodded hurriedly, and said one after another: "Got it." ”

Xichun asked: "Auntie is hiding from the ancestors, is she afraid that the ancestors will worry?" ”

Xing Shuang turned her head to look at her, and asked with a smile: "The boy has ambitions in all directions, he can go out to study and learn for a long time, even if the ancestor will oppose it, the rice has become porridge at this time, what can she do?" But think about it, what would happen if she knew that your second sister-in-law was also studying outside? ”

Xichun thought about the rules that the old lady usually taught, and suddenly fell silent.

The others were also alert, and the old lady really couldn't know about it. In case the news of Lian's second sister-in-law also going to the academy is leaked out, the old lady will definitely take the wife and scold her.

"Mother......" Tanchun suddenly stopped talking again.

Seeing her like that, Xing Shuang knew what she was worried about, and comforted her with a smile: "Don't worry, if you want to go one day, I will have other reasons to prevaricate, and I will not make you hope in vain." ”

"But ......" Tanchun bit his lip and felt a drum in his heart.

In this life, it is the best thing for her to live again, to have a different mother, and to have a different ending.

She knew that her mother's promise had never been broken. As long as she said she wanted to go, her mother would send her there even if she wanted to go.

But do you want to go? In this vast world, in order to take a look, I have to attach endless pressure to my mother, is this unfilial?

When I went to Xianhetang to eat, Tanchun was also a little absent-minded. Jia's mother asked, Daiyu smiled and prevaricated with the tiredness of playing in the morning, and when she returned to the quiet courtyard, Daiyu took Yingchun to Tanchun's room to "ask for guilt".

Tanchun was sitting in a daze, not noticing that her sisters had entered the house, until Xichun pushed and pushed, and she came back to her senses. 2k reading web
