Chapter 27: Preparations for the Dinner

After showing the results of his attempts to Jiushan Ming, it will be the end of the semester in less than a month.

The review month of the third year is completely different from the freshman and sophomore, because the freshman and sophomore year also have evening self-study, although there is also a difference between excellent and mediocre among the students, but the gap is not too big; Jiang Yan's junior year, everyone has already determined their own development direction in the first two years and this semester's long thinking, and there are no tough evening self-study requirements after the junior year, so those who want to rush to graduate school or want to rush to the review committee, the army and the big family's open foreign editor positions have already mustered up enough strength to prepare to sprint from the end of this semester. At this time, there is no shortage of rotten, maybe there is a good position in the family waiting to be determined, or thinking that it is enough to get by and make a living, and the results are becoming more and more miserable, and almost every time you need the marking team to get a handful to be spared.

This gradually enriching atmosphere of the two contradictory atmospheres is pulling and confronting the entire junior group, and it is becoming more and more weird. The library of the medical school was almost full of juniors and seniors, and when I entered, I found that half of them were familiar faces, and the library was surprisingly quiet, only the sound of reading and recording one after another.

It is becoming more and more difficult to make reservations in the library, and it is often necessary to refer to a certain book, only to be told that the book has been borrowed half a month ago.

When I asked Jiushan Yunsong, I knew that such a situation existed in any hospital, but the medical school was more extreme. After all, it is a "sinkhole" major, either rotten to death, or can only study desperately to the death, and its own blood talent is inferior, and it only takes more effort than others in hard work.

"To be honest, I think the old man and Director Ye are a little too hasty with you, you shouldn't directly experience this kind of high-intensity competition, because you lack the thinking and exploration in the previous two years, and you will be led astray by this anxiety that arises out of nowhere." Jiushan Yunsong shrugged, "If it's really hard to get out, apply to the young family master to go to the Jiushan family's lounge, we have a whole courtyard in the joint school." ”

Jiang Yan was inconvenient to disturb Jiushan Ming because of this, as if they were not familiar with each other to this extent, so he could only squeeze silently in the congested library and grab a reference book with a group of hungry wolves.

The project he was involved in was already in the submission stage—in fact, he was already halfway through when he joined—which gave him more time to devote more attention to the revision of his undergraduate major subjects.

As exam week approached, his social interactions became extremely limited, and his use of communication tools went from remembering when he needed to be in touch to looking at them in the morning and evening, and the one hundred and sixty pages of notebooks filled four large volumes, and there were often impromptu crammers who came to borrow these condensed knowledge, even the four major books were scarce enough in the eyes of this group of medical people—if compared to the professional books they piled up to be two-thirds tall.

The revision month is tough, but the exam week is relatively easy. After surviving the seven days like a nightmare, the students were visibly haggard with the naked eye, but they couldn't lose their professional books and notes after the exam, and they had to keep this pile of things to prepare for the more difficult long-distance run for the graduate school entrance examination.

After Jiang Yan finished the exam, he roughly answered a pair, and was stunned to find that his top three were almost impossible to keep, and some students with average talents had already caught up unconsciously, and the scores of the two were already very different.

"See, right? A genius will not always be a genius, there will always be someone who will go up and pull him off the throne, and the last thing our school lacks is such a desperate person. Jiang Ling sometimes takes a break from the laboratory to see Jiang Yan's mental state, she participated in the marking of the third year and the secretary of the senior graduation thesis as a teacher's assistant this year, and knows it well, "When it comes to the second semester of the third year to the first semester of the fourth year, it can torture you to death." ”

"This is too curly...... Jiang Yan sighed, now he can sneak in a white coat and go to the laboratory to catch his breath in a white coat.

"You're also pretty bad, and you're not the first in your class. When I recorded the results, you were the third one to record, how could you protect the research under Director Ye's hands? ”

Jiang Yan drank hot tea and smiled bitterly: "Wait for the senior year, I can finish Director Zhang's class in the senior year, and deal with it according to the double degree of the special recruitment, and I can recover a lot of energy......"

"That's not necessarily, listen to Director Ye's meaning, he seems to want you to be straightforward......"

………

A week after the final exam, the spirit that had been exhausted by the devil's exam week had largely recovered, and the library was crowded with tireless people, even waiting on time to reserve seats. Every day, before dawn, the room was full of people, and those who couldn't grab the library went to empty the classrooms, until the middle of the night when the supervision team came to catch up with the talents.

Jiang Yan didn't understand this kind of life-scrolling behavior very much, and he repeatedly came up with the idea of dissecting these people and taking a closer look at the internal structure to solve his inexplicable puzzle: where did these people get the strength to support them to fight so desperately?

So much so that when he was in a bright mood, he went to borrow a famous book from the list of must-read recommended by the medical school, and as soon as he returned to the dormitory, he opened the book and dropped out a motto, which read, "Foot on the third, punch the second", and his name Jiang Yan was written.

The corners of Jiang Yan's mouth twitched, and he stuffed the card back into the book very seriously, returned the book respectfully, and turned around to find Jiushan Ming to apply for self-study in the lounge.

Kuyama also attached an invitation letter to the consent form.

As soon as Jiang Yan opened it, there was a white card and a sterling silver medallion inside. On the card, a beautiful round E Chinese character was written with a dipping pen, which roughly means that the entrance invitation to the joint school's friendship ball, you can bring your own dance partner or believe in fate.

Jiang Yan silently opened his phone and clicked on Jiushan Ming's dialog box.

Jiang Yan: Young family master, what is that sorority ball invitation?

Chongming: There is still a lack of a school-level activity in your outstanding student evaluation this semester, and the teacher asked me to arrange it, this activity is funded by the Udeshi family, and I have the right to allocate some places, so I will send it to you.

Chongming: Remember the teacher's words, you need to socialize urgently.

Chongming: You will come to the lounge in the next few days, and your social etiquette still needs to be standardized.

Jiang Yan: The matter of "......" seems to have been settled, and he choked the words "I don't want to go" back into his stomach.

The next day, Jiang Yan was carried to the lounge by Jiushan Yunsong. Jiushan Yunsong really didn't coax him, it was too humble to say that it was a "lounge", and it was more appropriate to directly change it to a two-storey high-rise small western-style building with a thousand square meters of lawn.

The old wisteria piles on the edge of the main building poured out a spitting white and purple flower, exuding a refreshing fragrance.

Jiushan Yunsong waited at the door early, opened the door with a special access control card, and guided Jiang Yan upstairs, the huge lounge was full of fine mahogany furniture, and in the middle was a very wide Taishi chair carved with a sunrise dragon picture, on which a thick lamb's wool cushion was placed. Jiang Yan could see at a glance that this chair was often sat by Jiushan Ming, she liked lamb's wool very much, and it seemed that in the place where she appeared, it was always accompanied by such elements.

Jiushan Yunsong pointed to him a purple wood wide chair, covered with white woven cloud brocade, carved with wisteria cranes, saying that it was carved seventy-seven cranes of different shapes hidden in the sea of wisteria flowers.

"This is what I specially picked for you from the Jiushan family," Jiushan Yunsong was quite proud, "I look at the color or carving is quite suitable for you, the wisteria crane picture, and the old wisteria stake outside." ”

"Thank you." Jiang Yan sat down and took the access card that belonged to him handed to him by Jiushan Yunsong.

Jiushan Yunsong's brows jumped, and he said euphemistically: "I have a hunch that you should suffer a lot in this etiquette class." ”

"How?" Jiang Yan was a little surprised.

"Before entering the banquet hall, you must take off your coat and give it to the waiter to hang in the cloakroom." Jiushan Yunsong Nunu mouthed, bowed to the waiter standing in front of the door, "Also, your dress must be in line with your age, identity and season, although the school requires that the clothes must be fixed, but during the non-study period, if you have the idea of participating in a banquet or a lounge, it is best to change your clothes." ”

"It's a taboo: it's better not to wear a black shirt with a black suit in the evening or in the morning."

"Also, when you sit down, it's best to tidy up your clothes and sit down with your knees natural, not too tight and not too open, and your fists on your knees."

Jiang Yan immediately adjusted his behavior, and then asked Jiushan Yunsong sincerely: "Is that so?" ”

"It's much better, but it's still very deliberate, and it will be recognized as Xiaobai at a glance." Jiushan Yunsong said, "Of course, we still have time now, and we can practice more." ”

"Men have to walk behind women when they are on the road, except when they enter the restaurant. When the pre-locator is reached. Men should take the initiative to pull out a chair for the girl and ask her to take a seat. ”

"Before eating at the table, the waiter will come forward to help the two of them spread the mouth cloth. The correct way to use the mouth cloth should be spread on the thighs, and it should never be used like a bib, and it is very rude to wear the mouth cloth around the front of the neck. ”

“……”

“……”

When Jiushan Ming came in, Jiang Yan had already learned the etiquette before the meal, but his movements were very rusty and he looked a little clumsy.

Jiu Shan Ming looked at it, his eyebrows rose higher and higher, and with some wonderful and complicated eyes, he stared at Jiang Yan more and more, and he always felt that he was a little funny.

“…… Some progress. Jiushan Ming was silent for a moment, as if he was reluctant to praise it with encouragement.

Jiang Yan: "......, you might as well not boast."

Kuyama Ming took off his coat and handed it to the waiter, straightened his clothes and hair, walked to his chair in a dignified manner, supported the clothes on the side of his legs with his hands, and sat down elegantly, folding his hands on his thighs.

"Please serve me a table of refreshments, strawberry-themed."

The waiter standing on the side first laid out the mouth cloth for them, Jiang Yan remembered the placement and use of the mouth cloth, and did not dare to be careless, and spread it on his thighs in the way he knew.

Refreshments were quickly served, and red desserts in uniform hues were neatly arranged on the delicate refreshment shelves that rotated on four tiers. They brought a small tea tray, straightened the small teacup, and poured an appropriate amount of strawberry black tea.

"Please." With a slightly teasing smile, Jiushan Ming gently spread his palms towards Jiang Yan in front of the gorgeous desserts on the table.
