In the early morning, a passenger ship sailing south from Peking was swimming on the vast Yangtze River. ====23wx=Luxury crops, bright rivers, houses with white walls and green tiles, and rolling green mountains slowly passed by the passengers on the deck.

The guests sucked enough fresh air and were tired of seeing the scenery. They all slowly turned around, some yawning, and some searched for novel things on the boat.

Soon people's eyes were focused on a small luggage roll, with Nanhu, Xiao, and flute wrapped in beautiful white silk, and neat pipa, moon qin, and bamboo sheng next to it.

Is this a musical instrument sold? Passengers pay attention to the owner of their luggage. It seems that they are not a businessman, but a girl of sixteen or seventeen years old, who is lonely guarding these elegant plays.

The girl was wearing a white silk long skirt, white thread socks, white cloth shoes, and a plain white handkerchief in her hand, all over her body was white. She seemed to be alone, sitting quietly on a hardwood seat at the corner of the deck, staring at the outside without moving.

Her face was a little pale, and her big eyes were black and bright. This simple, lonely beautiful girl immediately attracted the attention of the people on the boat, especially the men began to whisper and discuss.

But the girl seemed to have seen nothing and felt nothing. She was immersed in a state of numbness for a long time.

Her unusual expression, extraordinary beauty, and the unusual behavior of guarding a bunch of musical instruments even more surprised the people on the same boat. In fact, as early as the first few days of the journey, she had become a material for people to chat with. It was nothing more than living in a separate room and it was difficult to see the true face of Mount Lu.

"Is this a lady from a wealthy family who escaped from marriage?" a big-bellied official whispered to his companions.

"It's not like it." The companion was a little confused.

"This pile of slap things should be worth at least dozens of taels of silver. If it is in some era, it will be invaluable." A fat businessman came over and glanced at the instruments and the girl, "What did this girl bring this to Jinling for? Singing?"

The official looked down on the businessman. He glanced at him and ignored him. He continued to secretly look at the simple and elegant girl, and then talked about something to his companions.

Because the court attached great importance to the safety of the Grand Canal of Beijing and Hangzhou, no accidents were allowed for business travelers, otherwise local officials would be severely punished. Therefore, at least on the official ships during the Hongxi period, traveling far away was no longer a dangerous journey.

At the same time, in Songjiang Prefecture, Linhai, Xu Luan, who graduated from the Women's Normal School, was lying on the bed with a heavy head. She was Xu Yingxu's second daughter. The low-key Xu Yingxu became the assistant general of the Central Army. Her inherited commander, and is now stationed in Bancang, Anhui.

Just like the Xu family, the brothers Xu Yingxu and Xu Zengshou also separated. Xu Zengshou inherited the title. Xu Yingxu lived in Anhui for many years and once entrusted Xu Qingtang to take care of his daughter.

Without her parents' constraints, Xu Luanfeng secretly entered the Women's Normal School with a pseudonym and graduated with excellent grades three years later. However, as soon as she graduated, she was ordered to get married by her parents.

Fortunately, the groom is her childhood sweetheart, and she met her frequently when she was a child. However, in recent years, she is a little unfamiliar and familiar with her.

On a tired bridal night, the couple did not fulfill their obligations, so they washed up and went to bed.

The next day, Xu Luanfeng dressed up neatly. She picked up tea in front of her parents-in-law and relatives of her elders in the morning. After a little snack, she sat down in the new house for everyone to appreciate and make jokes.

As for the groom, he dare not stay in the room for a long time, otherwise he will be ridiculed and his parents will be unhappy.

The people in Songjiang Prefecture (Shanghai) have a famous personality all over the world. The new house is filled with people, men, women, young and old, and they all come up to surround the bride in the center.

Xu Luanfeng sat alone, her nose was itchy due to the cold. She just wanted to sneeze and hurriedly blocked the scarf around her nostrils, and soon she burst into tears.

She was helpless and felt very sad. Her husband caused her to get cold, but she didn't know where she had left.

Why are you afraid of being ridiculed by others? Wouldn't you learn from my third brother's character? Shouldn't the groom take care of the sick bride? Almost all kinds of people you know and don't know are surrounded by our house. Don't you feel disgusted? Of course, my parents-in-law will not easily enter the door of my daughter-in-law. By the way, she, the young woman in silver clothes, has disappeared.

"She won't mess around with Xian'er outside, right?" Xu Luanfeng didn't know why she thought of this, but there was a thorn in her heart.

Then Xu Luanfeng thought that she wouldn't be able to do so again. She was a widow, so she had to avoid it and try to pull out the thorn in her heart.

But until the night, the thorn finally penetrated her chest and could no longer be pulled out.

When she came back from the upper room after asking good night, holding her heavy head, dragging her tired legs and feet, and approaching the door step by step, she suddenly heard laughter and laughter in between men and women.

"Seeing that you are kind to us, your wife is afraid that she won't eat anymore. What happened to you two last night? Are you very proud?"

"Don't talk nonsense." It was Xian'er's voice, "Last night, I really did nothing with her, good sister-in-law."

"It's great." The widow's sister-in-law's soft voice came out, "What's the matter between you and your wife to me? Let's take a look, I'm so tired that I'm even black in my eyes and my nose is red. It's because you were too crazy last night that caused her to feel cold." Then, there was a giggle that could only be understood.

Xu Luanfeng almost fainted from anger, her legs were soft and her head became heavier. She cursed a shameless man and woman, who used herself as the object of her conversation at night and talked about such a thing that shouldn't have been discussed. This was outrageous! At this time, another woman's voice came out, and she said thank you, "Thank God, it shouldn't matter if she is present, right?"

Hearing the sound of his cousin, she said, "Brother, you have to take care of yourself and avoid her. Colds are easily transmitted. Zhejiang has died of epidemics due to the time, so you must be careful."

Xu Luanfeng was almost blown out of breath. As the daughter of the Xu family naturally did not realize that she was humiliated and pushed the door in with a bang.

Qi Xian hurried over and looked at his wife embarrassedly, and said softly: "You are back, we are waiting for you."

Xu Luanfeng sneered, and after a while, she raised her face and shouted loudly: "Please avoid it quickly and be careful that my cold will spread to you. Anyway."

Speaking of this, her voice trembled and she could no longer say anything. The grievances she suffered from since her marriage surged into her heart like a tide of grievances. The loneliness and sorrow of leaving home. Due to her in-laws' care and persistence, she did not even bring her nanny or a close-fitting girl. Of course, it was because she studied in the women's normal school. She did not want the maid who was like her sisters to be a husband. She is also a new woman who advocates monogamy.

But Xu Luanfeng's temper was an unhappy temperament without saying anything. So she lowered her head and tried hard to hold back her tears, "Anyway, nothing happened to me and you."

Qi Xian blushed a little, looked at his sister-in-law helplessly, and then begged to his sister: "Xing'er, you go to bed earlier, see you tomorrow."

My sister-in-law's face immediately turned pale. She stood up straight and dragged the girl with a crooked neck. While walking out, she sneered: "The groom has issued an order to expel guests. Go away quickly, don't make things boring." As she said that, she pulled the door hard and then slammed again.

With the sound of closing the door, Xu Luanfeng fell heavily on the bed, her forehead as if it was hot.

Jinling.

Xu Hao was idle and reached Wumin Academy, looking at the plaque he wrote. It felt like the later celebrities were deceived by small factories and small businesses, and also the feeling of being in the later private vocational colleges.

It is said that hundreds of school seals were asked for nothing in less than half a month, and it is possible that many students could be deceived. With the preconceived impression, Xu Hao felt uncomfortable.

When he walked in directly, no school guard came out to stop him. Xu Hao thought it was a boy's school, which was normal. He found the office building, and a woman with a charming charm was wiping the table inside.

When I saw Xu Hao, I immediately came out to receive the woman. The woman's clothes were very charming, not like the one responsible for receiving the person. Soon, an old man in a blue cloth shirt walked out of the classroom next door. He had a dark face and a loyal face.

"Is Principal Li here?" Xu Hao asked

"No, haha, do you want to know him?" the old man smiled, "Maybe I'll be back in a while."

Xu Hao nodded and said, "Then, I'll wait a little longer."

He was invited into the principal's office, which was a very cramped space. The three of them wanted to walk around in it, which seemed to be very troublesome. It seemed that Li Xiaoxian still didn't understand the importance of filling the scene.

The walls were hung with some calligraphy, paintings and inscriptions, and because the light passed by the door, it was impossible to see what was written. When Xu Hao came in, he took a rough look. There seemed to be no one on the building that was up and down three times.

This room on the second floor is an office, and the remaining two rooms have been opened. Although they are not very big, twenty chairs can be placed and can accommodate twenty or thirty students.

Xu Hao could hear the students inside were very casual, some were cursing each other, some were eating melon seeds, and a group of teenage children, all of whom were chasing each other with their noses and ink-colored faces, fighting and making noises, and often made sounds of "sister grass" from their mouths.

There were also three or four older children of sixteen or seventeen who shouted loudly on the side, raising their arms and fists. Perhaps because the principal was away, they took advantage of this opportunity to have fun.

While Xu Hao was waiting and visiting, two middle-aged women suddenly pushed the door open and a gentleman walked downstairs.

"Sir, our child is tuition, oh, the tuition fee has been paid, and the book fee is not short. It's almost four or five days since the start of school. Why don't you teach to study?" A woman began to question loudly.

"You go and ask the principal here, I am the tenant." After saying that, the gentleman walked out proudly.

Seeing that they stared at him with bad eyes, Xu Hao hurriedly said, "I am also a parent, come and see how the school is like."

In this way, the women began to complain. It turned out that both of them were neighbors nearby and quickly found out the truth about the school.

It turns out that the tenant has only one part-time teacher, and that is Principal Li himself. The student supervisor is his butler, the one wearing a blue cloth shirt; the house supervisor and general affairs officer are his favorite, the one who wipes the table; the enrollment period is not set, until no one is studying for the school fee; the admission procedures only test the students' ability to pay the fees. If they pay in one lump sum or pay in installments, they can "enter". If they only pay one month's tuition and still have not paid the money after studying for a few days, they will "get out".

It is said that Principal Li teaches very harshly, and students will kneel down and stand if they don’t obey orders. The thugs are common. His teaching policy is still traditional. He holds books and tells them accordingly. The students sit blankly and listen with their heads raised, and they don’t even need books, paper, pen and ink.
