1987 My Era

Chapter 233, Burning incense and chanting Buddha's name will bring you peace

After leaving Lushan Village and separating from everyone else, Mai Sui, Zhou Shihe and Ye Ning returned to the dormitory.

At this time, the dormitory was empty. As soon as the three girls entered, Ye Ning closed the door and couldn't help asking: "Sui Sui, is Li Heng really so popular in high school? So many girls wrote love letters to him?"

"Ah."

Mai Sui hummed and said honestly, "Actually, what Manning said is relatively conservative."

Ye Ning sat next to him and asked curiously, "Is Li Heng from a wealthy family? Why is he so talented? Why does he have such a strong literary and artistic aura?"

Mai Sui smiled and said, "What big official? He's from the countryside."

"Ah?" Ye Ning obviously didn't believe it.

Ye Ning shouted so loudly that even Zhou Shihe, who was standing next to him drinking hot tea, looked over.

Ye Ning's eyes widened. "Rural people? I was born in the countryside too. Many people in my area don't even have enough to eat. Where do we get the energy and money to learn skills? I can learn the flute and erhu, but learning the piano costs money."

Mai Sui told what he knew: "Their family is not pure farmers. It is said that his father used to be a leader of our city's education bureau. He made a mistake and was framed and lost his job when he was teaching at the county's No. 1 Middle School. His mother used to be a city dweller and an intellectual."

At this point, she paused and continued, "I heard from Zhang Zhiyong that his family has more than 1000 books. Li Heng started reading them when he was young and has finished all of them. I think his literary and artistic temperament must have been cultivated in this way."

This reminded Zhou Shihe of Li Heng's study in Lushan Village, which also contained at least 500 books. Judging from the old marks on the pages, it seemed that a considerable number of them had been read.

Ye Ning exclaimed: "So amazing? Have you been well-read since childhood?"

Mai Sui nodded, "Almost."

Ye Ning asked again: "Why did your class teacher stop him from writing love letters?"

Mai Sui was also one of the three people whose love letters were blocked, and she felt the same way: "Because he has good grades, the class teacher has always hoped that he would be admitted to Tsinghua University or Peking University."

Ye Ning asked: "How many points did he get in the college entrance examination?"

Mai Sui said, "One point away from Peking University."

Ye Ning pointed at her and said, "What a coincidence? Aren't you two points short?"

Mai Sui smiled and said, "So we all read our second choice."

Hearing this, Zhou Shihe seemed to be thoughtful. His second choice was Fudan University, and he moved into Lushan Village as soon as he entered university. It seemed that Li Heng had a secret.

Why do people speculate that Li Heng has a secret instead of speculating that his family is powerful?

Because logically speaking, if his family is powerful and can influence the top management of Fudan University, it is impossible that his parents are still in the countryside.

Fudan University has so many special teacher apartments, but currently only Professor Yu Shuheng lives in Lushan Village due to her privilege. The other professors either have enough experience, have made great contributions to the university, or have real talents and knowledge in their heads. There is no other way.

Ye Ning was completely curious about Li Heng. After asking about his family, he asked about Li Heng's personal feelings, "Who is Song Yu? Is she really as beautiful as Zhang Zhiyong and Yang Cheng said?"

Wheat Ear said, "It is indeed very beautiful."

Ye Ning blurted out: "How about comparing with you two?"

The "you two" this girl is referring to are Mai Sui and Zhou Shihe.

Mai Sui looked up at Zhou Shihe, "Song Yu is recognized as the most beautiful girl in our No. 1 Middle School. She is naturally prettier than the others. It's hard to compare her with Shihe. It depends on each person's preference."

Ye Ning asked: "Is she so pretty? Did Li Heng pursue her?"

How come I haven't pursued her before? I'm still pursuing her now. Mai Sui remembered Li Heng's request not to interfere with his personal feelings. Later, she said, "Song Yu, Li Heng and I are all good friends. It should be a rumor."

Unexpectedly, Ye Ning believed it: "I think it's just a rumor. If he really pursued Song Yu, Xiao Han would definitely have a thorn in her heart and would not be with him."

After saying that, Ye Ning pulled the sleeve of Zhou Shihe, who was still sipping tea, and said, "Shihe, don't you think this makes sense?"

Zhou Shihe glanced at the wheat ears, smiled knowingly, and said nothing.

Mai Sui felt a little uncomfortable after telling a lie, so he stood up and poured himself a cup of hot water, put a handful of tea leaves in it, and drank it slowly while holding it in his palm.

"Hey, hey, hey, what are you two talking about?" Ye Ning pulled the two girls depressedly.

Zhou Shihe's temperament originally gave people a feeling of being fragile and pitiful. At this moment, she was almost pulled down, so she could only agree gently: "Yes, you are right, Detective Ye, let go."

Ye Ning really let go and said with emotion: "Alas, Li Heng's song "Original Scenery of Hometown" is really beautiful, but it's a pity that Mingcao has someone else."

Mai Sui and Zhou Shihe looked at each other and reminded each other earnestly, "Don't be a fangirl, or you will pay the price."

Ye Ning asked: "What's the price?"

Mai Sui said thoughtfully: "There is a saying in the book, which is to love but not get."

Unexpectedly, Ye Ning clapped his hands and agreed: "That's right, I'm not crazy about flowers, I just simply appreciate beautiful things.

Besides, after seeing Xiao Han, I think Fudan girls will not be crazy about him, otherwise they are really idiots. Knowing that it is impossible to do it, you deserve to be beaten, and you will not be happy. "

Hearing this, Zhou Shihe pretended to stare at the tea leaves in the cup very seriously, with her clever little mouth slightly pouted.

Mai Sui put down his teacup and called out, "Shi He, let's go to the cafeteria to eat."

Zhou Shihe stood up and said, "Okay."

Seeing the two girls leave, Ye Ning was so angry that he screamed behind them, "Well, you didn't even call me in person? Do you think I'm a stone?"

The two girls chuckled and closed the door.

On the other side, time goes back.

After meeting Xiao Han in the Management College teaching building on Friday, Liu Yue finished five or six classes, handed the books to her good friend Zhou Min, and left the school and went home.

I first went home and stayed for one night, and then when my aunt came back from the capital, I rushed to her villa.

"Boom boom boom!"

"Knock, knock, knock!" After two knocks, the door opened from the inside, revealing Huang Zhaoyi in a Peking Opera costume. "Yueyue, don't you have the key to my house?"

"I forgot my keys at home. I don't have them with me."

Liu Yue walked into the room, walked around her aunt, and exclaimed: "Aunt, you have maintained your figure so well. If I were a man, I would want to lift up your costume."

Huang Zhaoyi smiled and opened her hand: "Why are you here? Today is Friday. I was thinking of going to your house for dinner after practicing this scene."

Liu Yue observed her costume and answered irrelevantly: "Is this Mei Lanfang's Peking Opera "The Return of the Phoenix"? "

Huang Zhaoyi is right.

Liu Yue immediately improvised a piece on the spot, singing in Peking Opera: "When someone came to the library, you should have told my father first. I was not born lowly, how could I enter the garden without permission? I am so shy in my boudoir every day, but now I am forced to do it in front of others. If you want to cut your hair, burn incense and chant Buddha, you will be at peace."

After hearing this, Huang Zhaoyi said with a look of regret: "You sing really well. You are born to be a singer. It's a pity that you don't want to learn from me."

Liu Yue gathered her graceful body and pouted, "I was born to do great things. How can I be trapped in this small world of the stage?"

Then, she continued meaningfully: "Don't just focus on whether I sing well or not, have you heard the meaning of my singing?"

Huang Zhaoyi thought about the lines from the play but didn't understand them. "What? Is there something else to say?"

Liu Yue changed her shoes and walked into the house: "If you want to cut your hair, burn incense and chant Buddha's name, you will be at peace. Aunt, if you continue like this, you will soon become a Buddhist."

After looking at her niece's back for a while, Huang Zhaoyi walked over to pour her a glass of water and asked, "Don't be so witty. Tell me, what do you want from me?"

Liu Yue looked around and asked, "Did your performance in Beijing go smoothly?"

Huang Zhaoyi sat on the sofa next to her. "Same as always, not bad."

Liu Yue asked: "Aunt, I heard from mom that you received a lot of dividends from the bank you invested in Xiangjiang this month?"

Huang Zhaoyi nodded.

Liu Yue asked again: "The three time-honored hotels in Shanghai and the two hotels in Hong Kong give you a lot every month, right?"

Huang Zhaoyi laughed and said, "What do you mean by tribute? It sounds like the mafia collecting protection money, which is so ugly. But with the reform and opening up, the restaurant and hotel business is pretty good, so you won't starve to death. Are you short of money?"

Liu Yue rolled up her sleeves and said, "Yeah, I'm short of money. How about you give me a restaurant?"

Huang Zhaoyi said calmly, "If I divide it with you now, I won't have time to take care of it. When you get married in the future, I will give you a restaurant and a hotel as your dowry."

Liu Yue curled her lips and said, "I'm getting married? Ha! I'll never get married again. You're just making empty promises. It's not realistic at all."

Huang Zhaoyi said: "You don't have to wait until a certain time. When you meet someone you like, you will have this thought."

Liu Yue's eyes flashed, "Aunt, if you meet someone you like, would you ever think about getting married?"

"I?"

Huang Zhaoyi hesitated for a moment, then shook her head: "It's difficult at my age."

Liu Yue frowned, "You are good-looking, tall, excellent, and have your grandfather and uncle to support you, and your pockets are full. But you are losing confidence at the age of 33? This is not like the impression I have of you."

Huang Zhaoyi asked with a smile: "What is your impression of me?"

Liu Yue recalled: "When I was a child, I remembered you as the fairy Chang'e in the Moon Palace, waving your sleeves and pretending to be extraordinary."

Huang Zhaoyi said: "That was when you were a child. When you grow up and learn more, things will change."

"No, no, no. My perception of you has not changed since at least half a year ago. You became a big Peking Opera singer and a professor at the Shanghai Theatre Academy. You have a unique vision in running a side business. The banks you hold shares in and the restaurants and hotels you invest in are making profit every day. You are like a golden hen that lays six golden eggs. My aunt often praises you. If you concentrate on business, you will definitely be a big shot." Liu Yue raised her index finger, shook it, and said so.

Huang Zhaoyi didn't care: "It's enough as long as there is enough money. Too much is meaningless. I don't want to do that."

Then she asked in confusion: "Why half a year ago? Has your opinion of my aunt changed in the past six months?"

Liu Yue turned her head and looked her in the eyes. "You have indeed changed. In the past, you were decisive and resolute, and your style was smooth and unrestrained. Mom said that you were the most free and easy person in the Huang family. But now, uh, you are indecisive, hesitant, and hesitant."

Huang Zhaoyi checked herself and smiled, "Really? Where has it changed? Is it worthy of your gnashing teeth and annoyance?"

Seeing that the foreshadowing was almost done, Liu Yue straightened her body and asked, "Then let me ask you, do you have someone you like in your heart?"

The sudden question and answer made Huang Zhaoyi stunned.

Liu Yue stretched out her hand and waved it in front of her. "Don't look at me stupidly. Just tell me whether you have it or not."

Huang Zhaoyi understood, "After all the twists and turns, you came here today just for this question?"

Liu Yue stared into her eyes.

Huang Zhaoyi asked, "Did your grandmother ask you to come? Or did your mother ask you to come?"

Liu Yue said: "Neither, it's me."

Huang Zhaoyi looked puzzled.

Liu Yue said: "If I don't come, he will fly away."

Huang Zhaoyi lifted her hair with her right hand and asked, "Him?"

Liu Yue looked at him strangely, "Are you still pretending to me? Auntie, don't you know better than me whether he is in your heart or not?"

Face to face, Huang Zhaoyi suddenly smiled, stood up and said: "You are a little devil, I have seen your tricks of getting something for nothing many times. Go to Fudan to deal with the little boys, I can't do anything about it here."

Liu Yue raised her lips and said, "You know what, I really wanted to trick a boy at Fudan, but he didn't fall for it."

Huang Zhaoyi immediately perked up, "Oh? Who is it? Who made my always-conceited Yueyue interested in her?"

Liu Yue deliberately said shyly: "If I tell you, you may not know him, then Li Heng is really annoying."

P.S. (One more thing.)
