Chapter 37 The Pure Love of Learning
The girl was named Chen Qingyan. She was born in the Pingwang Chen family. The Chen family was also an old-style big family. She had several generations of officials from her ancestors. After retiring, Ye Luo returned to her roots, but she purchased a lot of real estate in the county and even major cities. With the advent of the capital tide, the land prices and housing prices in Wujiang County and Suzhou City rose rapidly, making the Chen family more and more prosperous.
If Chen Qingyan's background is compared with later generations, she is probably the daughter of a real estate tycoon. Of course, the influence of this real estate tycoon is limited to the city, and the Chen family has five-bedroom families. If the family is separated, the real estate tycoon's assets may shrink countless times.
In addition to his wife, Chen Qingyan's father also had two concubines. The three women gave birth to five children for him. The first three were boys and the second two were girls. Chen Qingyan was the fourth child, two years older than her youngest sister, and her sister Chen Qingle was fifteen years old.
Chen Qingyan was born to his wife. If it were in ancient times, she would be the so-called legitimate daughter, and her status would definitely be higher than that of the sister born to her concubine.
But the current trend is different, just like there were no concubines in ancient times, but only concubines. Perhaps in some families, there was no difference between concubines and concubines in ancient times. However, Chen Qingyan's father treated his three women as equally as possible, opened the so-called "true love harem" and treated his five children equally, so naturally there was no distinction between legitimate and illegitimate.
Therefore, Chen Qingyan, the daughter who ranks fourth, is not as favored as her younger daughter Chen Qingle. Perhaps because her younger daughter is really good at please the elders, she is always everyone’s joy, but Chen Qingyan has been calm since childhood and has no disputes with the world.
If we use the words that were once popular in later generations to describe Chen Qingyan, it is "Buddhist". However, this Buddhist girl is extremely studious. She seems to enjoy the process from ignorance to understanding. Her self-study ability can be said to be very terrifying.
When Chen Qingyan was five years old, she mastered many Chinese characters and then had no dyslexia anymore. She almost searched all the books at home.
Later she found that she had some obsessive-compulsive disorder in reading, that is, as long as there are words, she would not help but read them all the time, no matter which words it was.
Therefore, when she found out that her father had foreign language books in his study, she began to learn foreign languages again. Although his father preferred his younger daughter, he would not hinder his eldest daughter who loved studying, and even specially hired a foreign language teacher for her.
Judging from the fact that Chen Qingyan's father opened the "true love harem" in his father, it shows that he is indeed relatively enlightened, which undoubtedly made Chen Qingyan successful.
Chen Qingyan's childhood was almost spent in learning. Ordinary children were afraid that they could not bear such a boring childhood, but for her, this was the happiest and happiest childhood.
Three years ago, she was sent to Suzhou No. 1 Girls' High School. High school life did not seem to have any impact on her. Her classmates complained that the high school courses were too hard and difficult, and she didn't feel anything. Some classmates complained that the high school was not open and free enough, and she didn't feel anything.
As long as she can learn new things somewhere, she can stay completely.
Now, Chen Qingyan wants to go to college.
It has to be said that Soochow University is uniquely famous throughout Suzhou and has basically become the "highest institution of learning". So for a strange woman like Chen Qingyan who enjoys learning, she really longs for college.
It is also because of this that she continued to pay attention to the school magazine "Xueju" of Soochow University. Every time she saw Soochow University saying that it would recruit women in the next academic year, she felt happy, and when she saw the content of the articles on which she opposed women's admission, she was very upset.
However, it is obvious that the senior executives of Soochow University seem to have not yet unified their opinions, otherwise they would not allow those articles that oppose women's admission to school to be published casually in the school magazine.
When Chen Qingyan saw those articles that opposed women's admission, she wanted to write a rebuttal directly. It's a pity that her articles, a high school student, were afraid that she would not be able to get to the eyes of the editors of "School".
I need to find someone who can express my opinions on my behalf. Why can't a woman go to college? The Buddhist girl Chen Qingyan thought this way, in order to go to college, she is no longer vain this time.
Perhaps there is no one in the world who is more pure than her purpose in college, because she really loves studying, not to get a diploma.
After reading the school news and other sections in front of "Studying", Chen Qingyan subconsciously looked back. In fact, she was not very interested in the literary and artistic pages behind her, but her reading habits were experiencing, so it would be very uncomfortable if she didn't finish reading them.
The reason why she is not very interested in literary and artistic pages is not because she has low literary literacy. On the contrary, she has too high literary literacy. She has read almost all the contemporary Chinese and foreign classics without saying a word. Foreign classics are not even translated, because she can't help but feel that what kind of translation is a mess, it's better to let her translate it...
When Chen Qingyan's vision grew, she naturally looked down on ordinary literary works, and she felt that the works in the literary and artistic page of "Xueju" were very ordinary.
In fact, this is easy to understand. How can truly excellent works be published in school magazines like "Xueju" for free? Which of the great contemporary writers who can write wonderful articles is not the work they are robbed by many magazines and newspapers as soon as they come out...
But at this moment, Chen Qingyan saw this article "Listening to the Snow Night".
Originally, her thoughts were a little confused, but because she was not interested in content. Although she would continue reading because of her strange reading habits, she would not be fully focused. She would think while reading. If she were to write, how would she write the content that exploded the work.
In fact, she did write a lot of things, but she never published it publicly. She just wrote about herself entertaining herself.
But at this time, she read this article "Listen to the Snow Night" and only read the beginning. Her whole mind seemed to be immersed in the artistic conception of this work. She could not find any reason to not focus, because this work clearly should not be a work in the mere school magazine "Xueju". It was published in "Beautiful Articles" and "Essayist"!
This is simply a masterpiece that proves that vernacular can be written in such meaningful and beautiful way!
