When Bai Qianyu woke up the next morning, she had a splitting headache.

She covered her head and finally seriously reflected on whether the behavior of an old-style lady who drank heartily at yesterday's banquet was too heroic.

Seeing that she was awake, Xiaohuan quickly served her with tea and water to help her get up, and came over with a coat and skirt to dress her up. Bai Qianyu felt dizzy when she saw her posture, so she went into the bathroom to wash up and put on her clothes casually.

I put on a cardigan jacket, pulled on my slippers, and yawned as I went downstairs to have breakfast.

Bai Qianyu had breakfast brought to her room by her servants these two days. Unexpectedly, when she came down to eat breakfast today, she happened to meet Fu Shaoze.

In the restaurant on the first floor, sunlight shines in through the large floor-to-ceiling glass windows. Outside are lush shrubs and lawns. Violin music is playing on the gramophone. Fu Shaoze is sitting at the dining table, flipping through the newspaper and drinking coffee. When Bai Qianyu walks down,

He just glanced at her and closed the newspaper - the other party would probably apologize for yesterday's drunken rudeness later, and he couldn't bear to hear her chattering.

Then, Bai Qianyu walked to the dining table and said lazily: "Good morning." Then she pulled out a chair and sat down.

Fu Shaoze was startled and couldn't help but look at her... She seemed to have not yet woken up from a hangover. Her hair was tied loosely into a ponytail, and there were still a few strands of hair falling from her face, even as she sat down at the dining table.

They were all shapeless, with their hands on their chins and their eyes dazed.

He thought that she would always wear her hair in a meticulous bun, tied up to her chin, and abide by the rules of being a lady, but now she just sat down minding her own business, without saying hello or apologizing.

Fu Shaoze was about to stand up and leave, but then he took another sip of coffee, continued to open the newspaper, glanced at it a few times, and couldn't help but raise his eyes and glance at Bai Qianyu - she could really sit still, and with

He sat at the same table and didn't say anything. It seemed that he really hadn't sobered up yet.

He didn't sleep well last night. When he was insomnia, he thought about Yu Mengwan. He wondered if there was something hidden in the past few years when he lost contact. Otherwise, why was this woman's words and deeds so different from the Yu Mengwan in his impression?

?

Perhaps it was because he had met so many people over the years that his mind was already so full that there was no part left for this unimportant fiancée. He had never thought of asking about her current situation.

She disappeared from his world for eight years.

The only thing that will still appear in his life is a photo he brought back from Zhili. At that time, he and Yu Mengwan were still under adulthood, with childish faces. They were probably celebrating the New Year, and a girl and a girl were sitting upright.

Taking pictures in the courtyard, but the smile on his face could not be hidden. Like the talented man and the beautiful woman, this photo has always been collected by his father. He even framed it and placed it on his desk, so he placed it casually.

But that happened when he was a child, and he had almost forgotten it. But his father always liked to look at this photo and talk about what happened when they were children, saying that they climbed trees, caught fish, played in the mud together, and held a family banquet to worship heaven and earth. Every time

They all heard Fu Shaoze feel embarrassed and irritable.

Not long after Bai Qianyu sat down at the dining table, the servant served white porridge and side dishes, as well as several plates of fermented bean curd, pickles, etc., which were all the rules that Miss Yu was used to eating when she was in Zhili. When the maid came here on the first day

He knew that the meeting was over, so Bai Qianyu ate like this for the past two days.

Fu Shaoze read several pages of the newspaper intermittently. When he raised his head, he saw her eating porridge spoonful by spoonful. He suddenly said: "Now that we are in Shanghai, why do we still eat these? Come on, just follow my usual diet.

Here’s another serving.”

Then, Bai Qianyu looked at the toast, bread, baguettes, bacon, butter... she had no appetite at all.

In her last life, when she was alone abroad and too lazy to make breakfast, this was what she ate every day. Cold milk and toast, bread and mat, just to make it more convenient. In comparison, she only occasionally stayed at her parents' house.

, she only has freshly cooked rice porridge when she wakes up in the morning. This kind of warm liquid food is as valuable as a luxury product to her.

"No need." Bai Qianyu declined the invitation of bread, "I like to drink porridge in the morning."

Miss Yu would never say "no" to Fu Shaoze, but Bai Qianyu never wronged herself.

Fu Shaoze didn't expect her to refuse, and he looked unhappy, but he didn't say more, but changed the topic: "Have you considered going to a new school?"

"New style school?"

"It's probably about learning Chinese, foreign languages, arithmetic, etc. Although you can read and write, you haven't learned much useful knowledge and haven't interacted with many peers. It will be good for you to go to school. If you want to go, I will help you.

Arrangements." Fu Shaoze's tone was a little impatient.

He knew that Yu Mengwan had not read books seriously, because the two of them started reading together, reading "Three Character Classic", "Thousand Character Classic" and so on. But when he started reading "The Analects", she did not join him.

After studying, he was asked by You to study as a girl.

At that time, he asked You in confusion why his sister couldn't learn it together. You said with a smile that it is virtue for a woman to have no talent. Those are serious knowledge, which men can learn to do great things.

, women will just be housekeepers from now on.

Thinking of this, Fu Shaoze suddenly discovered that in fact, he had not forgotten his childhood growing up in the north. It was just that these memories were like locked old wooden boxes that had been forgotten in the corner for too long and accumulated a layer of memory.

Thick gray.

However, he heard her answer: "...I don't really want to go."

Bai Qianyu didn't think so much. She just had no interest in reviewing the textbooks in elementary and middle schools. What's more, her current image was still that of an ignorant village woman. She was bound to be looked down upon wherever she went. Sooner or later, she would have to give up on Miss Yu anyway.

Identity, why ask for trouble?

However, if she had the chance, she would like to experience her college career in the Republic of China. In this era of great masters and shining stars, she had to go to those famous schools to get a pass and hang out with the alumni of the masters.

"You..." Fu Shaoze was choked by her and couldn't speak. When he saw her put on a dress yesterday, he thought she had changed to please him and was willing to accept new things. Unexpectedly, she was still the same as before.

Not entering.

For a long time, he stared at Bai Qianyu, as if he understood something, and nodded, with a cold tone in his airy tone, "Okay, it seems I'm meddling in other people's business."

Bai Qianyu glanced at him and smiled: "It's not that I won't learn. The subjects you mentioned, I can understand them if I buy some books and come back to read them myself. It's not difficult."

Fu Shaoze snorted coldly, "It's none of my business, I've finished eating." Even though he said that, the corners of his pursed lips relaxed slightly.

He threw the newspaper aside, stood up and walked out the door. Suddenly he found that Bai Qianyu hadn't moved for a long time - in the past, when she was in Zhili, she would stand up immediately and get him his coat if he wanted to go out.

When he wanted to change places to sit, she would move with him, always centered on him... He waited for a while, and the servant came over with her coat in her arms.

"Master, are you going out? It's going to rain in the second half of the day. It's going to be very cold." The servant muttered, shaking off his coat and eagerly waiting for him to put his hands into the sleeves.

Fu Shaoze now discovered that such a noble lady with strict etiquette had left the old house and all these three obediences and four virtues had been thrown aside. He had no choice but to put on his coat under the concerned eyes of the servant and said calmly,

"I'm out."

In fact, he usually has nothing to do. He occasionally goes to the racecourse to watch horse racing in the afternoon, or goes to a movie and dances in the evening. Usually he has nothing to do in the morning, but recently Bai Qianyu moved in, and he no longer wants to stay at home.

Bai Qianyu had finished her breakfast and was feeling a little hungover again, so she simply went upstairs and slept again. After waking up in the afternoon, she finally took a comfortable bath with water.

In the bathroom, the cat-foot bathtub is filled with foam, and every corner is filled with rich fragrance. The sun shines in through the window. Bai Qianyu is immersed in the hot water, resting her head on the edge of the bathtub with a towel, enjoying

A professional head massage from the little maid.

This time she did not refuse Xiaohuan's service, because she found it too troublesome to wash such long hair alone... She had to admit that it was really convenient to have a maid when taking a bath, and it smelled really good.

"Miss, don't drink so much in the future." Xiaohuan massaged the acupuncture points on her head and said worriedly, "I was so frightened yesterday. Fortunately, nothing happened. If anything happened, I would be afraid."

I really don’t know what to do.”

"There is no other way. You have to do as the Romans do." Bai Qianyu closed her eyes and said lazily.

"Miss..." Xiaohuan said cautiously, subconsciously softening the massage force on her hands, "Why do I feel that since you came to Shanghai, you seem to have changed as a person... I am not saying that you are not good, Miss.

, I just feel it’s different from before…”

"What's different?"

Xiaohuan said hesitantly, "Everything is different, what I say is different, even the steps I walk are different..."

"This... you just do as the Romans do." Bai Qianyu was very thick-skinned and said frankly that even she didn't believe it. "Shanghai is a place that is changing with each passing day. It's impossible to adapt to the old thinking we used to do. We have to keep up with the times."

We must advance together, otherwise how can we gain a firm foothold, right..."

"Oh..." Xiaohuan was easily convinced by this reason. Perhaps she had never doubted that something was wrong with Yu Mengwan. As long as she was given a reasonable reason, she could justify it. She nodded vigorously.

"Miss, I understand, I will also work hard to learn... learn the words of foreigners, so as not to embarrass you!"

Bai Qianyu didn't take the little maid's vows seriously.
