I rewrote family history

Chapter 140 Seeing Xian'an, complaining from the heart

She thought that she was more fashionable and more individual than the old people in the old age, because she was a young woman in the new century.But when she really lifted the veil of the times and really got to know the young women of another era, she suddenly found that...they may not be behind their younger generations, and may even be more advanced in thinking.

Chen Xian'an is like this.

The same is true for grandma.

"She... is indeed an interesting person."

Xu Er nodded in agreement with his great-granddaughter's words.

When it turned into a cub to accompany the old wife when she was young, it saw a different face from the old wife.One is housekeeping after marriage, and the other is romance as a girl.

It doesn't feel that this is the old wife deliberately concealing herself.

But everyone has a period of youth that is easy to blush when you mention it....

"Dad, it's getting late."

"Take a rest first, don't be too tired. It's still early in Xinye."

Seeing that the old man was about to talk about the story of him and his wife again, Xu Rong interrupted him and offered some persuasion.

Even though she wanted to hear about her mother, the old man was too old.

It was a long journey from Xijing in Qin Province to Xinye in Henan Province.For young people, it's just a nap.But this is not the case for the old man.The turbulence of the train, the crowd, and the noise may cut his short life span by more than half.He needs enough rest to recharge his batteries to withstand the scythe of death, and then set foot on his homeland as an old man.

"I see."

Xu Er's fool did not refuse his daughter's care.Under Xu Rong's service, he shrank carefully on the soft bunk, and breathed in safely under the blue plaid quilt.

After calming down, the whole person is empty.

He heard the laughter of male and female couples in the soft shop next door, office workers tapping keyboards hard, waiters, or pedestrians stomping on the floor with hard shoes, and the click of tearing open plastic packaging bags of snacks...

"Maybe this is the last time I'm going home."

"I don't know what Xu Cong is doing at this time?"

He was thinking silently.

He began to imagine what kind of scene Xu Cong was on the train leaving Xinye.

It was thinking about Miss Yu, but the other one was thinking about Chen Xian'an.

Different routes, different women.

……

……

In the sixth year of the Republic of China, Yanjing Railway Station.

The journey of nearly three days came to an end.As soon as Xu Cong got out of the train door, he felt that the temperature outside was suddenly higher than the temperature in the compartment. The temperature difference caused the oncoming hot wind to fill every corner of his body, and soon drained him out of his body. wet sweat.

"Goodbye."

"Goodbye."

When the young man arrived on the platform, he bowed to Xu Cong to say goodbye.

Xu never asked the name of the young man sitting opposite him.The young man didn't ask either.They are just companions on this lonely journey, and they parted naturally at the destination.If we talk about friendship, there must be some, maybe when we meet next time, we will tell each other's names without asking too much.

But it's not necessary right now.

In the vast sea of ​​people, the possibility of meeting again in the future is almost non-existent.

From the platform to the exit, there are bustling crowds, speaking dialects from all over the world, with different clothes, rich and poor.Extruding from the train station, you can see several adjacent alleys.The alleys are all bluestone roads of the same color, and there are many shops on both sides of the road, most of which are restaurants.

Every restaurant hangs a long banner with food written on it.There are wontons, beef offal soup, buns, sesame pies, dim sum.The shops in the front are for dine-in food, and travelers will leave after eating a full belly, while the dim sum shop in the back is dedicated to the gift-giving business for tourists, and there are all kinds of dim sum such as Su Pai, Jing Pai, and Guang Pai.

Although Xu Cong was hungry, but thinking of Xian'an in his heart, he endured the discomfort.He only bought a pack of ox tongue cakes and a pack of bean halva.Then I walked to the entrance of the alley, called a rickshaw, and ordered a "half-day" delivery.

The rickshaw pullers in Yanjing are different from those in Xinye.Xinye is just a small county, and the rickshaw driver can cover the entire county in less than an hour.But Yanjing is different, it is the leading big city in China today.The roots of the imperial city for many years are here.Therefore, the business of rickshaw drivers is also divided into "full day", "happy", and "half day".

Different businesses, different ways of running.

Running "half day" is faster than "full day" and slower than "jolly".Rickshaw drivers know how to measure their strength for a whole day, and calculate it by the mileage and time of three different businesses. "Happy" is tiring, you can't run for half a day, you have to nourish your body, but "half a day" and "whole day" are much easier, just use your strength like gurgling water.

From the train station to Dengshikou Street, the distance is a bit far.

Therefore, it is more cost-effective to hire a rickshaw driver for "half a day" and save some money.

Beiman Girls' School is located in Dabogeshi Hutong on Dengshikou Street.

"Master, are you going to the girls' school to meet relatives?"

"Why don't I introduce you to a few more good inns, which are economical and affordable..."

"If it doesn't work, you can settle the score with me. My name is Pansi. There are not many rickshaw runners in the capital who don't know me."

The rickshaw moves slowly, and the pansi pulls the cart at a steady pace, neither fast nor slow.He deliberately waited for Xu Cong to get into his car before discussing other business.In this case, the outsiders in the car could not easily refuse his proposal.

If they refuse, it is not uncommon for the hot-tempered rickshaw driver to send the customer elsewhere.

Being a rickshaw driver is not the same as being honest and honest.

Thanks to Er Chaozi's previous conspiracy, Xu Cong had a few eyes when he got in the car.

He looked at the rickshaw driver in front of him.He is wearing a long-sleeved white coat, white or black hakama, slightly fat trousers, with thin belts around the ankles, and blue cloth shoes with thousand-layer soles on the soles of his feet.At first glance, it makes people feel clean and neat.

"Okay, after arriving at the girls' school, find an inn nearby."

Xu Cong looked away, glanced at the newspaper spread out in his hand, and replied casually.

Newspapers are bought at newsstands near the station.

"My lord, when you arrive at the girls' school, the inns are already full, and you can't find a few inns. Listen to me, I happen to know one, and it's not far in front. You've booked a room there now. Then I hurry up and take you there before the girls' school ends..."

The rickshaw driver is still keen.

Xu Cong's heart sank for a moment, knowing that he couldn't escape this slaughter.

If you don't know the place where you live, wait for Pan Si to pull him to the inn. Even if there is a rickshaw near the inn, the driver must know Pan Si well.

Even if it's time to let Pan Si suffer.

It will also waste his time.

"Master Hu..."

"It's a pity that Master Hu didn't follow."

"Otherwise, according to Master Hu's knowledge, he will probably be able to discuss with me and find a solution. When he first arrived in Yanjing, he was slaughtered, and it would be embarrassing to speak out..."

Xu Cong secretly sighed.

He took a deep breath and said, "I don't have much money with me, so don't introduce expensive ones, just mediocre ones. Otherwise, I'd rather sleep outside on the street than stay in a hotel."

Pan Si was killing him, and he knew that Pan Si was killing him.

Pan Si also knows that his customers know what he thinks about killing customers.

They are fighting.

No one opened the skylight to speak out.

"Okay! Grandpa, you must have listened to me."

Pan Si agreed loudly.

Xu Cong continued to read the newspaper, no longer caring about the gains and losses of a few cents.

About half an hour later, Pansi pulled Xu Cong to the inn he mentioned.The inn is called Sifu Inn, and the price is neither expensive nor cheap. It is a small inn.He booked a room for one day and spent three and a half dollars.

After booking the inn, Pan Si didn't mess with other moths, and dragged him to Dengshikou Street.

The street was full of traffic, and there was a crowd at the gate of Beiman Girls' School in Chaoli Lane.

Most of them are servants, picking up their own ladies.

Stop and lower the handlebars.

"Thank you for your hard work."

Xu Cong got out of the car, took money out of his wallet, paid the fare, took off his hat, bowed to Pan Si, and then walked away.

He had to admit that Miss Yu's humanitarianism still had a little influence on him.

If there hadn't been Miss Yu's debate with him, he wouldn't have bowed down to thank Pan Si.What he thanked was not just the rickshaw driver Pansi, but the group of rickshaw drivers.

Pan Si, who was stunned in place, suddenly felt quite uncomfortable.

He glanced at the dozen copper coins in his hand, and then saluted Xu Conghui who was a dozen steps away.

Of course, a gift is a gift....

It is absolutely impossible to ask him to take out the money he got from slaughtering customers.

Soon.

Xu Cong saw a luxurious mansion with the specifications of a royal mansion.

As mentioned in Chen Xian'an's letter, Beiman Girls' School used to be the residence of Kangxi's mother, which was Tongfu.Mansion, only princes can use it.

At the school gate, there are high eaves, red pillars and green rafters, blue bricks and gray tiles.The vertical plaque reads "Beiman Girls' School".Looking towards the school gate, you can see a six-meter-long and six-meter-wide white marble feldspar inlaid in the middle of the gate road.At the end of the feldspar is a statue of Guanyin.The brick surface of the nearby courtyard wall is also engraved with some seals from the Ming Dynasty.

After getting here, Xu never dared to enter again.

Girls' schools generally prohibit men from entering.

As Pan Si said, he pulled Xu Cong over before the girls' school was over.So Xu Cong didn't wait long, and heard the bell ringing for the end of class from the school building.

Before the bell stopped, a group of female school students in blue clothes and black skirts filed out.

Fortunately, there are not many students in girls' schools.

Except for the students of Peiyuan Mengxue (Peiman Primary School), there are not many students in the girls' school, only about two or three hundred.

Therefore, it is not difficult to find someone.

"Xu... Cong?"

"Why didn't you write me a letter when you came, why did you come directly?"

In the mixed crowd, the two people seemed to have a heart-to-heart glance, they both saw each other, and then moved closer to each other and got together.

The first sentence of the meeting was Chen Xian'an's questioning.

"Xian'an, is this your male companion?"

The young female student accompanying Chen Xian'an's eyes widened. She glanced at Chen Xian'an to the left and Xu Cong to the right. She roughly guessed the relationship between the two, so she asked.

"wrote."

"It's just that it comes slower, and I come earlier."

Xu Cong choked his throat a few times, paused for a while, and replied in a muffled voice.

Probably due to having an outsider, he became a little shy.If Chen Xian'an was the only one, maybe a lot of love words could be blurted out.

"you……"

Chen Xian'an had two beautiful blushes on her face, she bit her lip lightly, and did not continue talking about the topic above.She pointed to the classmate beside her, "This is Chu Yu, I mentioned it to you in the letter, let's get acquainted."

Xu Cong and Chu Yu then introduced each other.

"You... why did you come to Yanjing suddenly?"

After school, the people in the alley became thinner.Yanjing is much more developed than Xinye, and the lights in the alleys have already been connected.Under the dim light bulb, the three of them took a walk.Chen Xian'an did not avoid his friend and asked.

"You know, I graduated from Hongwen Academy this year. Mr. Liu has always planned to let me study in Japan, but... I didn't get the quota for government-funded students studying in Japan. The government moved public funds and cut down a lot of places..."

"If there is no official quota, it can only be private expenses. There is no need to worry about private expenses. I am a little hesitant now, whether to come to Yanjing to study, or to study in Dongyang..."

Xu Cong stopped and said softly.

Not being able to win a place for an official fee student made him feel that he had lost a little face in front of Chen Xian'an.It's just that this matter is still related to the current situation. The warlords are fighting each other, and too much education funds have been embezzled. It is imperative to reduce the number of places.

"Come to Yanjing to study, is it for Xian'an?"

"You two have communicated for so long, and you have already established a relationship. If he goes abroad again, when will you get married? Wait another four or five years?"

Chu Yu didn't have any pressure to talk about some things that Xu Cong didn't want to explain clearly.

Although Yanjing is one of the centers of education today, the reason why Xu Cong came to Yanjing, you don't need to guess, you know it must be for the people in front of you.

"You are so good at Japanese literature, it would be a pity to give up now."

"You can't delay your future for me."

Chen Xian'an persuaded.

She had no choice but to come to Yanjing to attend Beiman Girls' School.The only girls' school she could choose was Beiman's.But Xu never had to, didn't have to come to Yanjing to go to school just for her.If he came to Yanjing to study, the Japanese that Xu Cong had been studying would be almost equivalent to giving up.

"It's not there yet."

"After studying in Yanjing, it is not too late to go to Japan to study again."

Xu Cong shook his head, "I came to see you because I was afraid that if I really went abroad, what should you do? I think... a person's perseverance in love can be three years, but if it takes four or five more years, the love will last for three years. Loyalty can be doubted, and I don't want to gamble on it."

"Are you afraid that I will empathize with you?"

Chen Xian'an's face darkened.

What is the loyalty of love is worth doubting.To be unfaithful to love is not to empathize with others.Even though she thought what Xu Cong said had some truth, such blatant statements still made her feel a little uncomfortable.

"No, afraid of me too."

"Because I fell in love with another girl at that moment a few days ago. I know, I have been in love with you for so many years, and I can't fall in love with other people..."

Xu Cong let out a foul breath.

During the few days with Ms. Yu, probably because of the blind date, he developed some unique love for Ms. Yu.
