45 The so-called princelings (Part 1)

On the last weekend of the old year, Jiang Zhihan received an unexpected invitation to visit Gu Wangshan's house. During this period, they did not have much contact with Gu Wangshan, but every Thursday afternoon, they would meet on campus. They would usually go to the cafeteria to have dinner together and chat around the campus. Sometimes the two would ride their bicycles and circle around the campus. The reason for the appointment was that the last class of the two on Thursday afternoon was physical education classes, and physical education classes were usually not delayed. Occasionally, the two also played basketball together, or Ni Shang and Wen Ningcui would join them to a four-person party. Jiang Zhihan was a little confused about the relationship between Gu Wangshan and Wen Ningcui, not knowing that they were classmates, friends, or lovers. However, he was not a talkative person, and he knew that Gu Wangshan didn't like such jokes, and he never asked in person.

Jiang Zhihan only knows a little about Gu Wangshan's family background. His father should be at least a high-ranking official at the city level. Gu Wangshan is tall and handsome, and his grades are not bad. In the eyes of many people, he is quite arrogant and a cool feeling, which can attract the admiration of girls. In the first grade of senior high school, especially in the fifth grade of senior high school, there are many legends about Gu Wangshan. I don't know when someone called him Mr. Gu, and gradually became his nickname. But in fact, everyone can't tell who Mr. Gu is the master of which boss, but in fact, everyone can't tell me.

So, according to Ni Shang, it is rumored in the student union that Principal Ning personally ordered Gu Wangshan to join the student union, which was the first time in history. This rumor undoubtedly added another mysterious color to Gu Wangshan. However, Jiang Zhihan didn't care much about these. In his eyes, Gu Wangshan was a friend with a broad vision, elegant conversation, and generous. Although he didn't say much, his personality was straightforward and refreshing. Moreover, Jiang Zhihan always felt that Gu Wangshan was mature beyond his age, and at this point he felt like he had a close friend.

Gu Wangshan called and said that he wanted to send a car to pick up Jiang Zhihan. Jiang Zhihan refused and said that as long as he had an address, he could take the bus. Gu Wangshan was silent for a while on the other end of the phone, saying that ordinary cars could not enter the place where he lived. So Jiang Zhihan made an appointment with him to wait in front of Li Rongrong's bookstore. At nine o'clock on Sunday morning, a dark green military jeep came to the door of Li Rongrong's bookstore. Jiang Zhihan saw it from the bookstore, quickly greeted his mother and walked out.

The driver was a young man in casual clothes. Jiang Zhihan felt like a soldier or a policeman at first glance. The young man asked politely: "Is it Jiang Zhihan?" Seeing Jiang Zhihan nodding, he said, "Please get in the car." Jiang Zhihan opened the car door, but unexpectedly found Wen Ningcui sitting inside.

Jeeps moved slowly on the narrow streets near the market, trying to avoid pedestrians on the street and cars parked on the street. Finally, they were caught by the newly built four-lane highway on the riverside, and finally had the chance to get up at lightning.

Jiang Zhihan and Wen Ningcui were sitting in the car, talking in unison. Jiang Zhihan was also a little confused about Wen Ningcui. This girl sometimes likes to ask questions and joke about her innocence and be innocent and cute, sometimes looking cool, as if she was talking more words were burdens. Jiang Zhihan looked at Wen Ningcui. Today, she wore a knee-length black coat. The fabric looked very high-end, and the style was not common in the streets of Zhongzhou. It was probably popular. Outside the black coat, Wen Ningcui was surrounded by a milky white scarf. The simple black and white combination looked more elegant and generous.

Wen Ningcui turned his head and asked Jiang Zhihan in a low voice: "Have you been to Gu Wangshan's house?" Jiang Zhihan shook his head.

Wen Ningcui asked again: "Do you know what his family does?" Jiang Zhihan still shook his head.

Wen Ningcui said: "Aren't you curious?"

Jiang Zhihan smiled and said, "Don't you know in a while?"

Wen Ningcui wrinkled his nose and asked, "Do you like to pretend to be cool?"

Jiang Zhihan said: "What are you doing as a cool person? Are you lying to the little girl?"

Seeing Wen Ningcui nodding, Jiang Zhihan said, "I can't pretend to be cool but I can't scare you. Why should I pretend to be cool in front of you?" Seeing Wen Ningcui nodding seriously to agree with his opinion, her expression was as innocent as a young girl of her age, Jiang Zhihan couldn't help but smile.

The jeep drove on the Binjiang Road for more than twenty minutes. After leaving the city, he turned on the winding mountain road up the mountain. The more he walked, the lush trees became, which was very different from the environment in the city. It had just rained, and there was a strong and fresh leaves and the smell of nature in the forest. The wind blew past the car, and Jiang Zhihan couldn't help but take a deep breath of fresh air. He thought to himself, it was a pleasure to live here. The jeep turned into a path next to it and drove on the winding road for another three or five minutes. He saw a big iron gate, a sentry with a gun in his arms standing straight there. The jeep stopped slowly, but the sentry did not come forward to check. He just greeted a standard military salute. The iron gate behind slowly opened and the jeep slid in.

The jeep is slowly driving on the tree-lined avenue in the camp. The greenery here is very good, and the lush trees are as thick as one or two hugs, unlike the trees and chopsticks in the city. From time to time, a group of soldiers walk by the roadside in a uniform manner, and there is a vague sound of slogans in the barracks in the distance. The jeep turns left and right, and Jiang Zhihan has completely lost his direction. Suddenly, the jeep turns over a forest and becomes wide open in front.

A row of small villas stood in front of me. The jeep slid to the last villa. This place was obviously the largest, and it also had a large courtyard. Jiang Zhihan had already seen Gu Wangshan standing at the door. Wen Ningcui smiled at Jiang Zhihan with a narrow smile and said, "You are very proud of your face. Master Gu personally went to the door to greet him." Jiang Zhihan ignored her, opened the car door, jumped down, and held the door. He made a gentlemanly gesture to Wen Ningcui.

I don’t know if it was because of being at home, Gu Wangshan seemed particularly relaxed, and beyond Jiang Zhihan’s expectations, with a bit of enthusiasm that is rare. He hugged Jiang Zhihan’s shoulder and walked in with him, while saying, “I have long wanted to invite you to play at home. I finally got some time today, and the house is quieter.”

Jiang Zhihan looked around as he walked, and saw two big trees that could only be hugged by four or five people, one by one, surrounded by the main building, with the trunks penetrated straight into the sky, and it was over twenty meters long. Both trees were evergreen trees, and they were still lush and full of vitality in the cold winter of Zhongzhou. From the gate of the courtyard to the door of the main house, it was thirty or fifty steps away. The path made of gravel and there were some green moss plants beside the stones, which added a bit of wildness.

When I opened the door, I saw a wide hall. Jiang Zhihan sighed and said, "The area of ​​this hall is twice that of my house. If I can earn such a house in this life, it will be worth my life."

Gu Wangshan said, "Actually, after living there for a long time, I don't think it's good."

Jiang Zhihan shook his head and said, "What does it mean to be in a blessing without knowing blessing? That's what you are like."

Faced with Gu Wangshan's family background and superior living conditions, his classmates or friends usually have two extreme attitudes: one is inferiority and resistance and rejection to cover up inferiority, and the other is flattering and trying to please. Both attitudes are hated by Gu Wangshan. The reason why Jiang Zhihan can become his friend is largely due to the equal attitude he shows in his daily interactions, which does not conceal the differences between the two parties, but can accept them calmly and treat each other equally.

Gu Wangshan led Jiang Zhihan to visit several rooms on the first floor. He said, "This house is not my home. One day my dad retires, we have to move out."

Jiang Zhihan said: "I believe that by that time, you can earn a big house yourself."

Gu Wangshan said, "Who knows? I hope so."

On the second floor, there is Gu Wangshan's bedroom, while his parents' bedroom is on the third floor. The three of them arrived at Gu Wangshan's room. Gu Wangshan handed over two bottles of drinks, saying that this was the latest non-carbonated beverage produced by the American G company, so that they could taste the taste. Jiang Zhihan took the bottle and looked at the trademark and packaging. It was a product he occasionally read in a Hong Kong boutique life magazine, but he had never seen it in a shopping mall in Zhongzhou.

After chatting for a few moments, he heard a knock on the door. Gu Wangshan said he wanted to come in, and saw a middle-aged woman coming in and said respectfully: "Wangshan, Aunt Wen heard that Ningcui was coming, so she asked her to go up and talk when she had time." This is the servant or housekeeper in Gu Wangshan's family for many years. Gu Wangshan's father said that she was like a family member, not allowed her to call her a young master and a wife, and that it was the name of the old society. So when she saw Gu Wangshan's generation, she was named after her generation, and Gu Wangshan was also very respectful to her. Wen Ningcui usually had a cool girl at school, but today she seemed very gentle, and she didn't say a few words since entering the door. At this time, she stood up and said gently: "I was just saying I was going to see my aunt, and my mother asked me to say hello. Otherwise, I would go up first, you can chat first." Seeing Gu Wangshan nodding, she followed her upstairs.

When Wen Ningcui walked out the door with a very ladylike lady, he turned around and gently brought it to the door. Jiang Zhihan blinked at Gu Wangshan and smiled and said, "The gentle Wen Ningcui will definitely make many guys in the school shocked me, right?"

Gu Wangshan frowned, "Why are you smiling so weird? Didn't I say that we were neighbors when we were young? Her mother and my mother were very good." He raised his head, as if he was thinking about the past. After a while, Gu Wangshan said, "Her mother is very amazing. She wanted to marry someone who had no power, no power, no family background, and the whole family opposed it, and moved out without hesitation. That's fine, but what's even more amazing is that although the living standards in recent years are not inferior to ordinary people, they are far inferior to those in the past. According to my mother, she has never complained."

Usually Gu Wangshan is not a person who talks a lot or is very emotional. When he hears his feelings, Jiang Zhihan said, "You must have a good life today."

Gu Wangshan looked at him and said, "Your eyes are very poisonous." He paused and said, "You should still remember the time when I asked for leave at the beginning of the semester? Actually... My mother was sick at that time and found out that it was breast cancer. Fortunately, it was early, and if the surgery was done, the possibility of non-spreading and curing was still very high. Despite this, she was still in a low mood. In addition to my father's busy work, I couldn't stay by my side. I decided to go to Beijing to accompany her for a while, including during the surgery. At that time, they all opposed it. Xi was important, and they also invited someone to take care of it. In addition to the professionals they hired, a distant relative came to my hometown. However, my mother was in a low mood and I couldn't rest. Later, I issued a military order to my father to ensure that the final exam would not fall behind, so they agreed. The operation was very successful, but the next time

I still have to check again and again. The things I checked yesterday are good news. Although I dare not say that I will never return, the chance is very small." My mother was in good health. Gu Wangshan finally let down a big stone in her heart, and she had the urge to talk without realizing it, and wanted someone to share the good news. Of course, as a child born in such a family, he would not say everything even when facing good friends. Although Gu Wangshan's mother benefited from the early appearance of the disease, she was not very old. She was still very sad about the removal of the ** on the one hand and was depressed for a while. After all, ** is a sign for women. On the other hand, Gu Wangshan's parents' relationship is now hidden deep. Although Gu Wangshan is very troubled, it is difficult to say it casually.

Jiang Zhihan was very moved. Gu Wangshan was such a filial son. Who said that the wealthy family must be a playboy? He said sincerely: "If there is wine, I should have had two glasses to celebrate."

Gu Wangshan said: "You are almost a drunkard now." This exclamation was naturally influenced by Jiang Zhihan and almost became his catchphrase.

Gu Wangshan talked a lot today, and it was a bit like his age. He said: "After I returned to school, I don't know who started to spread that I came from a privileged family, and he said everywhere that the principal also came to curry favor with me and must let me join the student union. Of course, there are some other comments about missing out on class for two months. To be honest, I did use privileges. Ordinary students, if they want to take leave for so long to take care of their hospitalized mothers, the school may not agree. However, my privilege really doesn't hinder those guys. Seeing their indignation, I feel bored."

Jiang Zhihan said: "A few days ago, Ni Shang said that the comments our class teacher gave me were arrogant. My personal opinion is enough to have a few confidants in life. One or two may be a little less, but at every stage, elementary school, junior high school, high school, university, and work, if I can have one or two, I will be satisfied. I have never envyed some people, as if they are good with everyone. It would be fine if it was really good, but if it was just a superficial perfunctory, it would be meaningless." Gu Wangshan nodded, and it seemed that he agreed with Jiang Zhihan's point of view.

Jiang Zhihan joked: "Two days ago, my mother didn't know where she got it. She said it was published in Hong Kong. She was called the Red Prince. I didn't expect that I would see a living person today."

Gu Wangshan mocked him, "Tsk, I heard you have never seen the world. Compared with the real TZ party, we are just small fish and shrimps. How can we be called this title?"
