Chapter 156 156
She is now wholeheartedly running along the path that Jiang Xi has planned for her, to be admitted to a normal university, to take a civil service exam, and to become a national teacher in the future!
She also has a secret idea in her mind, she wants to go to the capital to find Jiang Xi, just like a moth lost in the dark, seeing the light can't help but want to get closer.
Only when she gets close to the light source and sees the glowing flame, she feels that she has a direction and that the direction she is walking is correct.
She is afraid that once she leaves the light source, she will be pulled into the endless and hopeless mud again, and there will be no room for her to climb out.
The severe beatings lasted for nearly two years. Jiang Song, who had just entered society, became well-behaved for a while after arriving in Sichuan Province. He could no longer fight in society. He had a lot of energy but nowhere to vent it, so he went to play basketball at a nearby university.
He was the right age and full of youth. He wore basketball uniforms and basketball shoes every day and played basketball with a basketball. The security guards at the school gate thought he was a college student at their school. He quickly became familiar with the security guards and was very frank about the fact that he was not a student of this university. He said that he just liked playing basketball.
He was 1.9 meters tall and had excellent motor skills. He quickly became famous in the nearby university. He was warm and cheerful, and when he had money, he would treat these poor students to meals and drinks. As time went by, these teachers and students who liked playing basketball all liked to invite him to play basketball with them. Over time, he met his second girlfriend in this school, who was also a very beautiful and simple female college student who was full of beautiful aspirations for love.
Jiang Song is very sincere when making friends. He is really good to his friends, so he makes friends with people sincerely. When he interacts with girls, it is difficult for most people to resist his enthusiasm. He is like a big enthusiastic wolfdog, always fawning on his girlfriends and being warm and generous. Few girls can resist falling for him under such enthusiasm. The same goes for his girlfriend, as well as her good friends.
He first met his girlfriend when they were playing basketball on the basketball court. After they confirmed their relationship, his girlfriend brought her best friend to meet Jiang Song. At first, her best friend was afraid that her best friend was cheated by people in society, so she came to give her a thumbs-up. However, Jiang Song's social skills were too strong, and he was too generous in his work and life. He was not only good to his girlfriend, but also to his girlfriend's best friends, including his girlfriend's roommates. He took care of them warmly.
While Jiang Song liked his girlfriend, he also sincerely felt that his girlfriend's best friend was also a very good girl, very gentle and considerate. Both girls were very good.
He treated every girl who showed him gentleness equally.
With the promotion of "Congratulations to Xi Meng for being admitted to Peking University" which lasted for half a month, the physical book of "The Imperial Guard" was also fully stocked in major bookstores across the country. Her newly signed 20,000 copies of the classic edition of "The Imperial Guard" and 20,000 copies of the complete collector's edition of "White Snake's Cultivation" were also released at the same time.
"White Snake's Cultivation" has only been completed for three months, and its popularity in the market is still rising. Previously, "The Great Song Dynasty" had 5,000 complete collector's signed editions, but when it came to "White Snake's Cultivation", there was not a single signed edition.
Therefore, the signed collector's edition of "White Snake's Cultivation" was snapped up as soon as it was released, and many readers called and wrote to the publisher, strongly requesting "Xi Meng" to hold a book signing event.
Many readers are trying to figure out whether Jiang Meng is a man or a woman.
The book signing event has to happen in person, right?
The magazine also wants to hold a book signing event for Jiang Meng, especially at this time, which is the best time to officially promote her. Book signings in several major cities across the country will increase sales for the publishing house.
But Jiang Meng can't make time.
She was previously locked up in the training team to participate in the competition, and the publishing house knew about it. Otherwise, why would they have serialized "The King's Guard" for several issues, and they have applied for the illustrator, cover, and book number for "The King's Guard", but they haven't signed the publishing contract with Jiang Meng yet? They waited until she finished the IMO competition before coming to sign the publishing contract with her?
Although she has finished the competition and has become a student at the University of Tokyo, the publisher does not know that she does not need to attend military training this year. Besides, she may have more time to write after entering university. However, it is not easy for her to sign books nationwide, unless it is during the winter and summer vacations.
Many readers who bought the collector's edition of "White Snake Cultivation" showed their autographed books online. Some readers who supported "Xing Meng is a boy" took pictures of the iron-painted silver-hook autograph of Xiao Meng, proving that "Xing Meng" is a boy and that girls cannot write such vigorous and powerful handwriting.
Many female netizens were dissatisfied and posted the handwriting online.
Many girls of this era have grown up learning calligraphy and practicing pen writing since childhood. A pen is a very precious stationery for many students at this time. Basically, everyone who owns a pen has been sucking ink and practicing pen writing carefully since childhood.
Many girls write with great vigor and grandeur in pen writing. Many pen writings are posted online to prove that signing a name cannot be used as proof that a person is "cute" and is a boy.
Some netizens have also dug out Jiang Xi's signature for "The Great Song Dynasty". Some people compared the signature for "The Great Song Dynasty" with the signature for "White Snake" and found some differences.
When signing for "Da Song", because there were only 5,000 copies of the book, and it was the first time Jiang Xi signed after her rebirth, her handwriting was just like every time she signed a document in her previous life, her handwriting was upright and not sloppy.
But for "White Snake", there were more than 20,000 copies of the book. At the beginning, she was still able to maintain a proper signing attitude, but as she wrote, she became numb and her handwriting became more and more sloppy, like flying dragons and dancing phoenixes.
Some netizens have concluded that these two handwritings are not from the same person.
So there must be a team behind "Xi Meng".
There are also netizens who can identify handwriting and say that although the latter is a bit sloppy, the writing habits and structure show that it is from the same person.
But such comments were quickly drowned out by the huge number of comments from netizens.
In short, the commotion on the Internet successfully promoted the sales of "Wu Xia", "Jin Yi Wei", "White Snake Cultivation" and "Da Song" again.
The magazine and the publishing house were grinning from ear to ear, and they made a fortune again.
As the author of these books, Jiang Xi also made a huge profit.
The "Searching for Xiao Meng" campaign was eventually shelved due to the start of the new semester at major universities, and Xiao Meng never showed up. Although many freshmen were still asking around at school about who Xiao Meng was because of the "Searching for Xiao Meng" campaign, no one admitted that they were Xiao Meng. They all came to this top university to study, and their enthusiasm for "Searching for Xiao Meng" quickly died down as they immersed themselves in a brand new university life.
There were big winners everywhere in this publicity plan, including publishers, magazines, experts who took advantage of the popularity of Xi Meng, reporters who launched the "Searching for Xi Meng" event, and Xi Meng herself.
After getting the money, Jiang Xi invested a sum of money to buy several stocks that later increased more than a hundred times, and told Song Peifeng that she was going to buy a house and asked him if he wanted to join her.
Song Peifeng once again discovered that Jiang Xi was a very active person.
For a big thing like buying a house, most people would discuss it with their family, but she made a decision and immediately executed it. For her, buying a house was as simple as buying cabbage. She could make the decision by herself without discussing it with anyone.
Song Peifeng followed her and bought a small apartment.
It was right opposite the house she bought.
He had been saving money since he was a child, and he had been promoted all the way. He received a lot of scholarships, but he couldn't afford a big house, so he chose the small one on the same floor as Jiang Liu and paid the down payment.
Song Peifeng's loan was more troublesome because he didn't have a stable job and income, and he couldn't get proof of income. However, the salesperson said that he would find a way, but the bank's procedures might take a little longer, so Song Peifeng had to wait.
Jiang Liu, on the other hand, went through the procedures for both houses very quickly.
Both Tsinghua University and Peking University are located between the North Fourth Ring Road and the North Fifth Ring Road. At that time, the housing prices outside the Third Ring Road were almost as cheap as cabbage compared to later times. Now there is a policy of giving hukou to those who buy a house. Now it is 1997, and next year is the year when the policy of housing allocation by work units will be revoked. Because of the good school districts near Tsinghua University and Peking University, the housing prices are a bit more expensive, but within a 20-minute drive from here, you can buy any house.
The house that Jiang Xi and Song Peifeng bought is near the Fourth Ring Road, 20 to 30 minutes away from Peking University. She bought a large flat with a relatively large area, and Song Peifeng bought a small one because of limited funds.
He found that she was really an independent girl, with her own rich and powerful inner world, but sometimes, he could also feel her inner desire for the prosperity of this world. Before,
Wucheng was close to Shanghai, and it was convenient for her to buy a house in Shanghai, thinking that she could live in Shanghai in the future. After all, Shanghai is an international metropolis with an open and free folk customs. Jiang Xi really likes to live in such an environment.
At that time, she did not consider Beijing. First, Beijing was too far away from her at that time and she could not reach it. Second, she felt that the environment in Beijing was not very livable.
But after buying a house in Beijing at this time, her first reaction was that Beijing was also good and far enough from home. If she took the civil service exam in Beijing in the future and entered the system of Beijing, would she have more reason not to go back?
By the way, she could also take Grandpa over and take him to see the □□, raise the national flag, visit the Forbidden City, and see the Great Wall.
As for climbing the Great Wall, she couldn't climb it, that was really impossible, unless she carried Grandpa on her back the whole time.
Thinking of her taking Grandpa to see these holy places that the country elders had always longed for, Grandpa Jiang smiled all the way through, and then returned to the village, sitting under the old locust tree at the entrance of the village, or on the high platform of the small shop at the entrance of the village, smiling and bragging to the elders, Jiang Xi couldn't help but smile happily.
That was something she wanted to do countless times in her previous life, but the regret of not being able to take care of her parents and every time she thought of it, it was like a heart-wrenching pain.
Thinking of her grandpa, she couldn't help but call Grandpa Jiang again. She was afraid that everything now was just a dream, an illusion, and she needed to confirm the real existence of her grandpa.
Grandpa Jiang's heart was as warm as soaking in warm water for his granddaughter's coquetry and attachment. People with a dedicated personality like Grandpa Jiang feared the most that they would be old and no longer needed. His
granddaughter's attachment and need for him made him feel like he was glowing with vitality.
Like Jiang Xi in his previous life, he had been alone in the mountains and forests for many years. What he looked forward to most every day was the laughter of the cowherds who went up the mountain to herd cattle every few days and the laughter of the cowherds who boasted loudly.
Now people come to the store to buy clothes every day, and countless young people come and go at the school gate every day, making it very lively. His grandson comes to the store every day to help him sell clothes, brings him lunch every day, eats with him, and focuses on selling clothes and making money.
They no longer have any hesitation or helplessness about their future lives.
He just sits at the door of the store and looks at the lively and noisy scene, and the smile on his face can't be stopped.
When Jiang Qing called Grandpa Jiang, Song Peifeng was standing not far away.
He didn't deliberately listen to what she was saying to the person on the other end of the phone, but just watched the fragility and brokenness that occasionally revealed between her eyebrows. After the call was connected, the little daughter coquettishly acted with the person on the other end of the phone, and occasionally showed a proud and arrogant look on her face, which made Grandpa Jiang on the other end of the phone laugh. She might not even realize how gentle the expression between her eyebrows was.
It was as if all the tenderness in the world was gathered in her eyes.
How could he not fall after seeing her like this?
Until she hung up the phone, she turned around, and when she raised her eyes, her eyes were still rippling with water, as pure as a mountain stream.
He watched her slowly approach him with a coquettish smile.
After He Qiaosheng came to the Beijing Conservatory of Music, he originally wanted to come to Beijing University to find Jiang Xi, but he thought that Jiang Xi might not want to make friends with him, and he knew how popular "Xi Meng" was now.
In terms of career, Xi Meng is now a popular best-selling author. In terms of academics, he is an IMO gold medalist and was admitted to Beijing University in advance.
Although He Qiaosheng gained some fame in the singing competition held in the provincial capital last year, and his songs became a little popular, this little fame also disappeared as he was silent for a whole year preparing for the college entrance examination. Now no one remembers him. So when facing Jiang Xi, he, who never knew what inferiority complex was, felt uneasy and inferior in his heart when he saw Jiang Xi.
He played out his hesitant mood of wanting to find her bit by bit on his guitar and wrote it into a song.
He thought that he would wait until he was successful and stood at the same height as her, and then he would walk in front of her and say to her, "Hi, do you still remember me?"
Thinking of the scene of their reunion at that time, He Qiaosheng couldn't help but reveal an expectant smile on his face. He played the song over and over again, revised the lyrics he wrote, and perfected the creation of this song.
After the military training, their music college held a welcome party. After registering, freshmen could also participate if there were programs.
He Qiaosheng also held his guitar and went up to sing a song he originally wrote, which is currently very popular in the market.
Someone also took a picture of him wearing a white T-shirt and singing with a guitar and posted it on the Internet.
The desire to find Jiang Xi but being hesitant made him feel a bit depressed. In addition, he changed his image and now looked fresh and clean. Even though he was a few degrees tanned due to military training, youth is the best beauty agent.
He Qiaosheng was not popular on the Internet, but he was noticed by a spontaneously organized band in their school. After learning that he could play the piano, the erhu, and the guitar and write his own songs, and that he had several songs that were currently the favorite songs of singers in major bars, they invited him to join the band and became the lead singer of the campus band.
Jiang Qi had long forgotten the boy she had lied to, and had no idea that a boy had waited for her at the school gate and looked for her. She also didn't know that he had followed her to the Beijing School and had thought about looking for her.
From the first sentence she said to the boy, she never thought about having any intersection with him in the future, and naturally she never took this little passer-by in her life to heart.
Nowadays, besides continuing to write "The Commander of the Imperial Guard", she also audits various courses at Jingcheng University every day.
Yes, she doesn't just audit the courses in her major. She wants to attend all the courses as long as she has time. She
attends classes not just to learn, but she has a strong purpose in attending classes, which is to broaden her knowledge and find materials for her future works.
Active class learning and passive class learning are completely different in efficiency. She is very serious in every class, and she is also very serious in reviewing and preparing for the lessons, and she also completes her homework very seriously.
Her serious attitude made the teachers and professors who didn't notice her at first notice her at the back of the classroom, who always listened to the class quietly and low-key.
Once, twice, three, four, or even seven or eight times, I didn't notice her. But after a long time, it was really hard not to notice this student, because this girl's appearance and temperament were too outstanding. Moreover, her height has grown to 1.68 meters, which is not considered short among girls. Even if she sits at the back, teachers and professors can still see her clearly.
Then the teachers found that every time they called the roll, they didn't seem to call this student's name.
"The girl in black clothes in the third row from the back, yes, it's you, you answer this question."
Jiang Xi didn't realize that he was calling her at first. When she and the professor looked into each other's eyes, the professor nodded at her with certainty: "Yes, it's you!"
After Jiang Xi answered, he asked her what her name was.
Then the teachers realized that this girl who never missed a class and did her homework very seriously was not a student of their major at all. She was only an auditor at the school and would not be officially enrolled until next year.
The funny thing is that even though these teachers and professors already knew that Jiang Xi was not a student of their major, they still liked to call on her name to answer questions in class.
After a while, those professional students found that this student was more eager to learn than the students of their major.
By December, the TV drama project of "The Commander of the Golden Guard" that had been purchased before was finally approved, and "The Commander of the Golden Guard" finally entered the script writing and casting stage.
At present, the serialized content of "The Imperial Guards" in "Wuxia" is still in the court and the martial arts world. The childhood of the heroine and the grandson of the emperor is not written for a long time. The first volume ends quickly. The time has come to the teenage stage of the heroine and the grandson of the emperor. The emperor is old and weak. In the court, the prince begins to supervise the country. The struggle between the princes is not fierce. There are even several princes who are loyal to the prince. They support the prince and set up the National Guard God House to deal with the chaos in the martial arts world.
The princes do not fight with each other, but in the prince's house, the grandsons of the emperor fight fiercely.
Especially because the Crown Princess was in poor health, many powers in the Crown Prince's Mansion were actually controlled by the two concubines. Both concubines had children and had long been eyeing the position of the Crown Prince.
But on the surface, the Crown Prince was still a gentle and weak good brother. Privately, because his father was worried about the current power in the martial arts world, he asked his companion, the female protagonist who was disguised as a man, to set up an organization in the martial arts world early on. It is not called the Jinyi Guard, but the Jinyi Envoy. It is solely under the Crown Prince and only obeys the Crown Prince. It is led by the female protagonist who is the companion of the Crown Prince. Even the Crown Prince does not know about this. The Crown
Prince who is in charge of the country is busy with major events in the world every day. How can he have the energy to manage a small organization under his son?
Male readers may be dissatisfied with the setting that the heroine is a woman disguised as a man, or they may suspect that the author is a woman and therefore has the perspective
of the heroine. But for the screenwriter and director, this setting is great. If the heroine does not disguise as a man, how can the emotional line between the heroine and the Emperor's Grandson be written? Without the emotional line, what would the audience watch?
The screenwriter not only completes the emotional line between the heroine and the Emperor's Grandson, but also adds a warm and tolerant senior brother, a loyal subordinate with a tragic fate and ruthlessness who is saved by the heroine, and a chivalrous man who becomes a brother to the heroine when the heroine enters the world of martial arts.
Of course, the main emotional line is still between the heroine and the Emperor's Grandson.
The screenwriters know what the audience likes to watch!
During the script creation stage, the director also came to Jiang Meng and asked her for her opinion on the script creation.
He had already inquired about the film and television script of "The Legend of White Snake", and Meng Meng herself gave a lot of useful opinions. It is said that the main line of "The Legend of White Snake" was determined by Meng Meng and the director personally.
Jiang Meng was amazed when he saw that they added so many emotional lines to the heroine.
In the original work, she just made the backgrounds and personalities of these characters more full in order to enrich the personalities of these characters, and there was no ambiguous feelings in them.
In such a feudal background, once the identity of the heroine was exposed, what would happen to her? She knew it, so how could she have the slightest chance of letting her biggest secret leak out?
Let alone the warm and tolerant senior brother and the cold and ruthless loyal subordinates, even the crown prince, unless she is mentally retarded, there will be something between her and the crown prince.
Is the heroine mentally retarded? The heroine is the commander of the Jinyiwei and the heir of the Duke's Mansion. How could there be such a relationship?
She told this to the director and screenwriter, but the director and screenwriter thought: "You can write it like this in the book, but you can't shoot it like this in the TV series."
However, because it was clearly stated in the original contract that Jiang Xi had certain rights in the script adaptation.
So under Jiang Xi's insistence, the heroine's final ending was not to enter the harem, but to remain the commander of the Jinyiwei who sat firmly in the court and held power.
After the script of the TV series "The Guardians" was finalized, "The Legend of White Snake", which had been filming for more than half a year, was finally released during the winter vacation this year.
