Chapter 31 Determined
"Xiao Li."
Liang Li raised her eyelashes to see who it was, with a stunned look on her face.
Not only her, but Duan Shiqing and her friends who were two steps away were also startled.
Jin Yanting actually walked towards Lian Li!
Jin Yanting looked at Lian Li with a slightly confused look in his eyes: "Don't remember the way to the backyard?"
After taking the driver's license test several times, Jin Yanting thought she had a poor sense of direction and was a mild road addict.
"I remember." Lian Li motioned to the champagne glass in her hand, "I'll put this away before going."
Jin Yanting raised his finger lightly, and the waiter who had been observing Jin Yanting's needs from a distance came over immediately when he saw this.
Jin Yanting reached out to take away the champagne glass, put it on the wine tray, and said, "Is there anything else?"
"No more."
Lian Li glanced at the people around her who were about to chat with Jin Yanting, then turned back to Jin Yanting: "Then I'll go to the backyard first."
Jin Yanting nodded slightly.
Before Lian Li left the hall, she turned around and saw a beautiful woman with a waist as soft as satin and soft eyebrows talking to someone in the bright lights, with a lively expression on her face.
...Probably a shrewd woman.
The beauty is still the same beauty, but the man opposite her is not Jin Zhiyue.
Lian Li didn't take it seriously and walked up the white jade steps through the garden to the wing where Mr. Mei rested.
There were several men and women in fine clothes sitting in the outer room. They were having a lively chat when they saw Lian Li come in and were quiet for a moment.
"Li Mei!" Zhong Yang is not Mr. Mei's student, but Father Zhong is a student of Mr. Mei, and he came with his father to the banquet.
Zhong Yang stood up excitedly, "Are you coming to see Mr. Mei?"
Lian Li wore a sweater and an A-line skirt. Her hair was neatly tied up and fixed with a hairpin. The clothes are not fancy, simple and elegant, but the hairpin... an imperial green emerald hairpin.
I don't know whether to call her shabby or extravagant.
But keep it simple, this outfit not only makes her as friendly and easy-going as the girl next door, but also makes others understand that she is not an ordinary person.
Imperial green jade bracelets are rare, and hairpins are even rarer.
Lian Li also smiled and greeted: "Brother Zhong Yang. I'm here to see Grandpa Mei."
"Look at Mr. Mei, let's go quickly." Zhong Yang said.
Lian Li: "Yeah."
Someone looked at her back and asked: "Grandpa Mei, is she Mr. Mei's granddaughter? Didn't you hear that Mr. Mei has a granddaughter?"
Lian Li didn't hear the answer. She raised her hand and knocked on three doors. When she heard the sound of 'come in' from inside, she pushed the door open and went in.
The person who said "advance" is Lu Hui'er, dean of the School of Mathematical Sciences at Peking University.
The Department of Mathematics at Peking University is known as a ‘madhouse’, full of great people and geniuses. Professor Lu Huier is the winner of the Fields Medal, the highest international award in the field of mathematics, and is the first female mathematician to win this honor.
Lian Li walked in and called him respectfully: "Grandpa Mei, Teacher Lu."
Lu Hui'er prefers students to call her teacher instead of dean or professor.
"Xiao Li is here." Mr. Mei sat on the pear wood chair and looked up at her.
There were three or five people sitting and standing here and there in the huge room. They were all people with a strong aura, not angry and self-assured, and who appeared in major news all year round.
Lian Li could vaguely recognize their names and faces, but instead of calling them out one by one, she bent slightly towards them.
...It's scary to be seen by them.
Keeping Mei Lao's birthday banquet low-key means that those people have to travel mysteriously, and fewer special police officers will accompany them, which means that the safety factor is reduced.
No wonder those young men didn't play outside and came here to surround us. It turned out that they were secretly guarding us in the form of special police.
Lu Hui'er handed a pair of scissors to Lian Li and said kindly, "Xiao Li is just in time, come and accompany the teacher to open the gift." Lian Li took it and said, "Okay."
Both the gift-giver and the recipient have sensitive identities, so the gifts are basically pens, inks, paper, inkstones, books, calligraphy and painting works.
Lian Li opened the rectangular brocade box and pulled out the axis, which was another calligraphy work.
Lu Hui'er and her each held one end and opened the rice paper. On it was a poem:
"If the sky is filled with peaches and plums, why should I plant more flowers in front of the hall?"
The handwriting is strong and powerful, the dragons and phoenixes are dancing, and the strokes are drawn just right.
Very flamboyant and very beautiful.
Lu Hui'er's eyes wandered to the words on it, a little, and chuckled: "Xiao Li, take it to Mr. Mei to see."
There were similar calligraphy works before, but Lu Hui'er didn't ask her to show them to Mr. Mei. Is there anything special about this one?
The meaning of the poem is that plums and peaches are everywhere in the world, so there is no need to plant trees in front of the classroom... It is normal to praise the teacher.
Apart from the nice and offensive characters, Lian Li didn't notice any other features.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
The calligraphy was spread out on the table. Mr. Mei looked from left to right, then from right to left. He laughed and scolded: "This brat pulled out several of my trees and dared to write righteously: 'Why should we plant more flowers in front of the hall?' '! ”
Lu Hui'er said from the side: "Ah Yue is the youngest among the students you have taught, and he is also the best at making you happy."
Mr. Mei snorted: "This kid knows how to kill first and then play, suppress first and then raise."
First he uprooted the peach tree in his yard, and then gave him a trained parrot.
Lu Hui'er smiled faintly.
Mr. Mei doesn't accept everyone's gifts, and there aren't many gift boxes to open.
After the demolition was almost done, Lu Hui'er helped Mr. Mei go to the hall.
Tonight's birthday banquet is not a place for those young masters to have fun. They have to act like a well-educated person in front of the powerful elders.
Lian Li watched Jin Yanting exchange cups with older people and peers. After a while, she walked out of the side door of the hall to get some fresh air.
There were a few bored young men chatting at the pavilion nearby.
"Mr. Jin is so beautiful and blessed. There is the eldest lady of the Duan family at home, and there are young beauties outside."
"You said the little girl the eldest son brought is the canary he raised outside?"
"Otherwise, what else could it be? A young girl has little experience and has not fully formed her three views. As long as a powerful and experienced man shows her the slightest favor, she will give in. My sister is so good. I can fuck my sister during the day and fuck her at night. Sister~"
The more he spoke, the more explicit he became, and there was an air of corruption between the lines.
Lian Li disliked staying away and walked towards the center along the bluestone road.
In the center of the courtyard is a lake, surrounded by flowers and trees, and willows swaying in the evening breeze.
It was a dry autumn and winter in the capital. Lian Li stood by the lake, raised her face and took a deep breath.
There is a bit of grass and woody smell in the cold, a bit... of tobacco?
The stone lamp exuded warm yellow light, illuminating a row of flower trays arranged on the low stone railing and also illuminating a dark figure.
Jin Shiyue sat alone on a wicker chair, his posture was slouched, his eyebrows were cold, as if he didn't have much awareness of everything in the world, and was only bored.
He held a cigarette between his long, bony fingers. The cigarette was one-third burned, mist was lingering, and the ashes were crumbling.
The faint smell of tobacco filled the air, entering my nose with the cold wind, and I choked on it.
"Ahem."
A very light sound.
But the man still found her.
