Chapter 54

Shanniang originally had the idea of being lazy and skipping school, but as soon as Mrs. Fifth beckoned, she followed without hesitation.

But what she didn't expect was that the Lin family was different from theirs, the five old men and their children were completely herding sheep and grazing, and the Lin family was really strict in family style, so they came over early in the morning to see off Lin Zhonghai, and watched Mr. Lin Er's boat go away, and when they turned around, the Lin family brothers and sisters followed Mrs. Lin into the car, saying that they wanted to go back to the academy to go to class normally.

The fifth master was happy when he heard it, and he hurriedly stuffed the eye-catching Shanniang over - he could be regarded as taking the opportunity to be alone with the fifth wife!

No further ado. Let's say that although the male and female colleges of Meishan Academy share the same mountain gate, the two colleges are not in the same place. The men's hospital is located on the east side of the mountain gate, occupying a wide area on the mountainside; However, the female school only occupies a small area of the mountain col on the west side of the mountain gate.

When the carriage arrived at the gate of the women's school, because Mrs. Lin was an elder, Lin Ruting, Lin Ruxuan and Yuan Changqing all got out of the car, and after respectfully sending Mrs. Lin into the gate of the women's school, the three of them turned around and got into the carriage again, and went to the men's academy halfway up the mountainside.

At this time, it happened to be the time of the recess of the girls' school, so the scene of these three eye-catching teenagers sending the old lady, Lin Ruzhi and Shanniang into the door made many female students see it.

And the same thing, in the eyes of different people, through the different needs of each extraction, will deduce a completely different story. Shanniang felt that she was just hitchhiking with the old lady, in her eyes, others did not look at the old lady Lin, but also the newborn Lin Ruzhi. But in fact, the eyes of many female students fell on Lin Ruting, the most popular senior in the academy. In the eyes of some girls in the Hou family, Yuan Changqing, who said goodbye to Shanniang, was the focus of attention.

It is said that when the Great Zhou Dynasty was in internal and external troubles, there were remnants of the previous dynasty inside, foreign invasions outside, and years of war led to the death and injury of men, and the battlefields went to the battlefield. As a last resort, the imperial court called on women to go out of the house and take up jobs that had previously been performed by men, and it was under such circumstances that women's studies developed. For example, as the men regained their vitality and the women were suppressed back to the back house, gradually, the meaning of the original establishment of the women's school also changed. Nowadays, many families send their daughters to school, not so much to receive education, but to gild their daughters, and to add a bargaining chip of "going to school" when they come to marry in the future, and even the bride price can be shouted higher in a bright way!

Therefore, not many female students in the women's school really love learning, but most of the female students focus on the male students on the mountainside.

However, according to the iron rule of the college, male students are not allowed to approach the women's college, and female students are not allowed to go near the men's college, and only the male and female seniors of the senior association can come and go freely on official occasions - there is no reason why they are still not allowed to visit the house. As a result, as the most outstanding of the three male seniors in the Seniors' Association, Senior Lin Ruting Lin secretly has many female fans.

Then, Shanniang, who had been absent from school for more than a month, just returned to the classroom and called someone to surround her.

In fact, Shanniang didn't like to laugh as much as she does now, but she was good at disguise, so she was quite popular among her classmates. As soon as she sat down here, she was surrounded by several girls. You Hui, who was sitting in front of Shanniang, turned around and asked her curiously, "Why did you get together with Senior Lin?" ”

Shanniang turned to look at her, her eyes bent, and she said with a smile: "Which eye did you see that I was walking with Senior Lin?" I'm obviously walking with the lady of the house. He joked again: "I haven't come to school for so long, and you don't say that you care about me, but first ask Senior Lin to come." Who the hell is your classmate?! ”

Zhao Xiang'er, who was at the same table as You Hui, also joked about You Hui, and smiled strangely: "Thirteen, you are wrong, Senior Lin is also our classmate." ”

Saying that, You Hui blushed, stretched out her hand and slapped her, and got up again to beat Shanniang, causing all the girls to laugh.

Although she was laughing, Shan Niang felt a burst of emotion in her heart - the happy time of girls is only a few years. In another two or three years, after they get married, how can they remember the friendship of their classmates in the past, and gradually only their husbands and children will be left in their eyes, and no one knows whose situation.

She was sighing, Mr. is here.

Mr. followed by Lin Ruzhi, who officially enrolled today.

Although Lin Ruzhi is one year younger than Shanniang, she has good grades and is still assigned to Shanniang's class. She smiled at Shanniang and chose to share the table with Shanniang without hesitation.

The Lin family has a very strict family education, that is, there is only one girl in the family, Lin Ruzhi, who is raised like a treasure, and she has never been given any privileges. When Mr. just introduced her, he did not deliberately explain her identity, so at this time, except for Shanniang, only Hou Fourteen and Fifteen Niang, who had seen Lin Ruzhi at the Spring Appreciation Banquet, knew Lin Ruzhi's identity.

It can be seen that the previous Shanniang disguised herself quite successfully, everyone thought she was a temperless person, and when it was another class, a girl from another class also came to ask her how she walked with Lin Ruting, and Lin Ruzhi, who was at the same table with her, couldn't help but widen her eyes.

Shanniang beat her for a while, sent those girls away, and when she turned around, she saw Lin Ruzhi staring at her with a pair of apricot eyes, and said with a smile: "I don't believe that the girls in the capital are not like this." As far as she is concerned, all boys and girls of this age are the same, that is, they pretend to be serious in front of them, and there is no one behind them who does not like to talk about those of the opposite sex secretly.

Seeing that she said so calmly, Lin Ruzhi didn't know what to say. After a pause, she said: "It's the same in Jingli, my classmates are also this virtue every time they see my Senior Brother Yuan...... But," she whispered, "don't you think that's not good?" The women's school was originally used as a place for learning, but they ...... it like this," she gestured with her hands, "as if they were using the women's school as a springboard." ”

Shanniang smiled wryly. She didn't want to come to school, just because she knew that she was different from Lin Ruzhi, she was not a person who really did learning, and even before she actually used this female school as a springboard. She sighed silently, "It is said that 'learn to become a literary and martial artist, and sell it to the emperor's family', how many men come to study in the academy, and how many are not utilitarian?" Women can't enter the court again, and they take 'learning literature and martial arts and marrying a good husband' as their goal, which is normal. Everyone just wants to find a better future for themselves. ”

Shanniang is just sighing about the world here, and she doesn't want Lin Ruzhi to listen to that sentence in her heart.

There is no lunch at school, and Shanniang didn't plan to come to school today, so she didn't prepare lunch. The fifth master had already taken the fifth wife to be happy, and he still remembered her at this time, let alone asked the family to bring lunch. Shanniang was thinking about finding someone to bring a letter to her brother halfway up the mountain, to see if she could get a little lunch from Hou Rui, but Lin Ruzhi couldn't help but pull her to find Old Madam Lin.

Just like all the students are not happy to see the principal, Shanniang is also very unhappy to have lunch with Mrs. Lin, but she is not as strong as Lin Ruzhi, and she is not as faceless and skinless as Lin Ruzhi.

This is Lin Ruzhi's first day of school, and when she eats at noon, the old lady naturally wants to ask her how she gets along with her classmates. That Lin Ruzhi suddenly remembered Shanniang's words, so she learned those words from the old lady.

When the old lady heard this, she couldn't help but look at Shanniang and groaned.

Although Shan Niang has been the leader of female studies for several years, Mrs. Lin's impression of her is actually not very good, and she always feels that this girl just looks at people kindly, but in fact, she is very indifferent in her bones, and she is very clear about the benefits and losses.

Nowadays, all the academies in Dazhou implement the senior system, and the students who are selected as seniors need to help their husbands manage the academies and help the students solve problems, so the seniors always have to pay more hard than ordinary students, but there is not much substantial benefit. Before Shanniang, in previous years, the leaders of the men's and women's colleges would share the position of seniors, but after these thirteen mothers took the leader, they found various reasons to shirk and were unwilling to take up this position. Speaking of which, it seems that this thirteen niang is humble, but the old lady has sharp eyes, how can she not see that Hou Thirteen just thinks this job is thankless.

At first, Mrs. Lin didn't know that Lin Ruzhi would become good friends with Shanniang, but then she knew that she didn't plan to stop it. has been in charge of the academy for a lifetime, and she knows that there are some things that children need to explore by themselves, that is, Lin Ruzhi does not know people clearly, and he has planted a heel in this Hou Thirteen, which may not be a kind of learning for the simple Lin Ruzhi.

However, this does not mean that she will let Lin Ruzhi be infected by wrong thoughts.

After pondering for a while, the old lady said, "It's not right to study with this attitude." If you only take learning as a step to advancement, what you learn is only some scratches after all, but you can't learn the essence, and it is impossible to learn fun. Like this dish," she said, pointing to the dish in front of her, "if you aim at it, your eyes will only see this dish and nothing else." If you stare at this dish every day, I am afraid that no matter how delicious it is, there will be a day when you will get tired of eating, and then learning will become a painful thing. And if you open your eyes, you will see that there are other things on the table that are more delicious, and you can have more choices. The purpose of learning is to broaden one's horizons and open up the boundaries of one's mind. The sadness of most women today lies in the fact that they only regard their husbands and children as their future, and they only know how to stare at the husband's children and the one-third of an acre of land in the back house all day long, but they forget their own self-save. Once a person loses herself and pins herself completely on others, she can no longer be regarded as an independent person. If the person she entrusts is unwilling to carry her, then what is left of her? ”

These words made Shanniang feel terrified. Isn't the old lady referring to her past life?! Since she was reborn, she has been full of doubts and denials about her past, just like the divorced women of later generations. is that she has some new understanding of herself, and the future is still an impenetrable fog in her eyes. She didn't want to repeat the mistakes of the past, and she didn't want to spend her life in an escaping way like Mrs. Five, but she was at a loss as to where to go......

"So, what should I do?" She asked, almost subconsciously.

The old lady's words were not so much for Shanniang as for teaching Lin Ruzhi. She never thought that Shanniang would feel her words. Looking at Shanniang's eyes full of confusion and seeking answers, suddenly, the old lady's impression of her changed.

"As the saying goes, 'the heart is served', if the heart is free, people will not be servant to the form. Only when a person knows who he is and what he wants can he not lose himself and be troubled by all kinds of constraints imposed on him by others......"

Xu felt that he had spoken too much, the old lady paused, and suddenly smiled: "I guess the reason why you were reluctant to accept the position of senior before was because you felt that this work was hard and not beneficial. In fact, there is not only one algorithm for the gain or loss of a thing. And if you just do something for a certain purpose, you miss out on most of the fun of it. Right now, I'm working on this year's spring fundraiser, and I'd love for you to help. Try to participate in something without any purpose and see what kind of insights you end up with. ”

Shan Niang lowered her eyes in contemplation for a while, then raised her head, looked at Old Madam Lin and nodded, "Okay, I'll try." ”
