Chapter 1: Under the cherry blossoms, fragrant
In the seventh year of the Republic of China, {1919} the whole country was in chaos. The imperialist aggression and the feudal system of society made the whole country very panicked, and the people wanted to live a stable life, but the government was corrupt and incompetent, and life became more and more miserable day by day. I am a student of Jingshi University, and I am also one of the few young ladies from a famous family in this troubled world, my name is Ye Duan.
In the morning, the sun was shining and cloudless, and there was a cherry blossom tree planted in the school, and I loved to read "New Youth" under the tree, which was my favorite book, and the petals of cherry blossoms would fall while reading, which was very beautiful, and I loved it very much. Whenever I'm reading, there will be a pair of hands covering my eyes, he is Song Jinjun, my childhood sweetheart, and my first love, we have been together for 2 years, he is a man of the hour, just because his appearance is really handsome, there will be some other women who love him. I'm not afraid, because I really trust him.
"Ye Dui, will you go home for the holidays in a few days?" As he spoke, he sat down beside me and handed me my favorite red bean cake.
"This cake is very fragrant, you can taste it." I wanted to avoid the topic and hand him the bread.
"Ye Dui, it's time for you to go home too." Jin Jun gently pushed my cake away with his hand.
"You also know that my dad has been looking for a matchmaker for me recently, although you are good, but my dad is him." I don't know how to answer him, although he is good to me, but he can't protect me in this troubled world, my father is thinking about my safety, but he, I really can't let go.
"I know what your father's attitude is towards us, but I don't want to see you because I have a conflict with your father, I believe you." Jin Jun smiled at me, I suddenly felt that he was more handsome than ever, I have always believed that he loves me, believes in me, he has never let me down, sometimes I feel how lucky I am, he is by my side to shelter me from the wind and rain, so considerate of me, I am more sure that he will be my true destiny, which is why I can't let go of him.
"Jinjun, you ........" I wanted to ask him if he would marry me, but I was afraid that I would be a little frivolous to ask, after all, I am a young lady, and there is always a sense of distrust in him when I ask, so I still held back, and I chose to believe him.
Jin Jun stroked my hair with his hand, looking at me affectionately, I was a little shy, but he was so handsome, I couldn't help but look at him, the red bean cake in my hand became colder and colder.
A few days later, I returned to my home - Yefu, just arrived at the door there was a bunch of dowry, it can be seen that someone came to the door to talk about family affairs, although my father was anxious to marry me, but he also did not want me to marry some so-called righteous gentlemen, I heard my nurse say that this is the seventh door to propose marriage this month. I looked into the room, and my father was sitting very seriously, and it seemed that the person who came to the door did not like my father, so I walked back to the room first, and when the person who proposed the marriage was gone, I said hello to my father. I went back to my room, and it was as clean as when I had left the house, and the flowers on the table were still fragrant, and I smelled the flowers, it was a wonderful smell. At this time, my maidservant came in: "Miss, the master told you to go to his place." ”
"Okay, I see, what kind of flower are you changing for me, the fragrance is very peculiar." As I spoke, I pointed to the bouquet of flowers.
"Miss, I didn't change this flower, it was a few days ago when a man who came to the door to propose marriage came to Miss's room to change it, and told me not to change this bouquet of flowers." The maid lowered her head and said, standing only and behaving properly, Ye Fu is really a famous nobleman.
I looked back at the bouquet and wondered what kind of man this man was, but I didn't think much of it, and followed the maidservant to my father. My father sat in the hall of Yefu, the mahogany chairs, the mahogany tables were neatly arranged, some of the old antiques used to decorate were polished, very classical, there was a tree in front of the hall, which was full of red wishing cloth that I tied with my sister, and when the wind came, those cloths flew up, which was very beautiful. My father was sipping tea, and he glanced up at me, then put down the teacup and said, "You still know that you are back, I thought you didn't want this anymore." I was a little anxious when I heard this, and then I replied, "I came back only because there is a shadow of my mother in this house." ”
When my father heard me say this, he became angry: "Ye Duan, I, Ye Guowei, have raised you for 20 years, and you have said such a big rebellious remark, can you be dealt with by family law." ”
"Family law, it's family law, you're just going to treat your family like this, right?" I was completely anxious. My father was speechless, my father was self-made, he had gone through a lot of hardships, my mother Zhang Huiwan had been with him before he was married, and then he had a quarrel with my father, ran away from home, and was brutally hurt by the Japanese on the road, which made the whole Yefu very disgusted with those foreign invaders. Since then, my father's temper has been a little irritable, and he is also strict with his family, after my mother's death, I am also a little tired of my father, if he was willing to bow his head to find his mother to admit his mistake, his mother would not run away from home, his machismo I really can't understand, and now he still knows that I have a sweetheart, and I am looking for relatives to give me, I really can't stand it, our relationship now is like a thin piece of paper, as long as one person starts a fire first, the fire will burn the two. I stared at him, he also looked straight at me, and suddenly remembered my mother, tears came out of my eyes and crossed my cheeks, the only wrong thing my mother had ever done in her life was to marry Ye Guowei, and this mistake made her never recover. I ran out of the hall, went back to my room, closed the door, and in that moment memories of my childhood and my mother came flooding back, and I tried not to think about them myself, but I missed my mother so much, really, since she was gone, this home has not felt like home anymore. I felt that I was alone, and all tears welled up, Mother, I really miss you.
At noon, I walked out of the room, and walked to the wall that I used to climb when I was a child, the wall was covered with moss and a little shabby, but I didn't dislike it, although I was a young lady, but I didn't develop the character of a young lady, sometimes I had to talk to other noble ladies, I heard between the lines the comparison between them, it was ugly, fortunately, my mother didn't plan to raise me as a young lady since I was a child, but raised me as a boy, when I was a child, I loved to play with boys, compared to girls, there was a lot less intrigue between boys, It's also a lot more comfortable, and even I wish I was a young master, but fortunately, I met Jinjun, and suddenly I felt that I was a daughter, and my body was good. I turned over the wall one by one, and after a while, I got out of the Ye Mansion, although the wall was high, but it was easy for me to climb from childhood to adulthood.
After leaving the Ye Mansion, I looked around, and now at this moment, most of the people in the house are busy in the house, and rarely go out, which is a good opportunity for me to hang out. Walking to the small street where I used to go to my mother's childhood, there are still delicious sugar paintings and delicate clay figures, which have not changed here, but have just lost the figure of my mother. I walked around the street with a red bean cake in one hand and a candy painting in the other, thinking that my mother would come and hold my hand on this street like when I was a child, and look at the sky while reminiscing about my childhood. When the sun set, I slowly walked towards the house, my father was waiting for me at the dinner table, I walked over, ate quietly, no one dared to speak, and we were also separated from each other in our hearts. Suddenly, the housekeeper came to my father and said, "Sir, Master Lin and Mrs. Lin have come to the house as guests. The father suddenly became nervous and hurried away.
Lin Mansion, I also heard it when I was in school, it is the most powerful family now, and it is all about dealing with the Japanese, and it is half a traitor, but I have always hated the Japanese why my father should go to meet them, and in the past, whether it was a powerful family or not, as long as it was related to the Japanese, they were all rejected from the door, I was very curious, I hurriedly finished eating, and ran to the room, my curiosity made me twisted, I tossed and turned in bed, and I went out cautiously, I eavesdropped on their conversation very cautiously at the window next to the hall, but I didn't hear a word, I only saw that their faces were slightly serious, and the whole atmosphere was chilling, and it seemed that they were talking about something important, and at that moment someone grabbed me with a hand, pulled me to the most hidden place in the house, and forced me against the wall, the man with deep eyes, a tall nose, a man with a dazzling face, he smiled and said to me: "A girl's family, lying there, eavesdropping on people's conversations, It's shameless. After hearing this, I felt a little angry and replied: "You big man pressed my girl against the wall, maybe you won't pity the jade." The man laughed instantly, and his face came close to my ear, and I felt a little shy and a little disgusted, and he whispered and said to me, "I'm still a big man who doesn't pity the jade." Then he quickly approached my face, and his snort swirled around my face, and I was so frightened that I closed my eyes, and he said, "If you dare to shout, I will rape you." I heard such frivolous words, I am also a young lady, and I was so threatened, I was in a hurry, slapped him, and pushed his lower body with my foot, I said loudly: "Hooligans, my mother will be raped by you?" Joke. Suddenly, someone came over and shouted, "Who's where?" "When I heard this, I ran away without looking back. I ran back to the room, the whole person got into the quilt, covered my face, I didn't expect to be treated like this, the whole brain was just the picture, people were ashamed, the whole face was red, the whole body was hot, it was difficult to sleep.
