What is the historical background of Jiang Yang in Lao Wangwen's book? What is the relationship between Lao Wang and Jiang Yang and Qian Zhongshu?

1935, Qian Zhongshu decided to take the exam for studying abroad. At that time, the total number of applicants was nearly 300, and only 24 people were admitted. Among these 24 students, Qian Zhongshu is not only the only English literature major, but also has the highest total score. Qian Zhongshu told Jiang Yang that she had been admitted and was going to study in Britain, hoping that she could accompany her abroad. Jiang Yang knew that Qian Zhongshu was born in a literati family and lived in a rich environment since childhood. He is not good at taking care of himself in daily life. If you go abroad with him, you can take care of him. Therefore, Jiang Yang intends to marry Qian Zhongshu before graduation and then go abroad together.

In order to get married before going abroad, Qian and Yang decided to hold the wedding in the summer of 1935. The bride and groom are all wearing dresses, and their appearance is just like that. Jiang Yang later said, "The yellow, soft and sweaty groom in a black dress and a hard white-collar tie was none other than Qian Zhongshu himself. Because our wedding day is the hottest day of the year. In our wedding photos, newlyweds, bridesmaids, girls with flower baskets and boys with gauze are all like pickpockets who have just been caught by the police. " This situation can not help but remind people of the wedding of Cao Yuanlang and Su described in Qian Zhongshu's Fortress Besieged.

Shortly after their marriage, Jiang Yang and her husband Qian Zhongshu went to England. Qian Zhongshu went abroad at public expense and Jiang Yang at his own expense. When he first arrived, Qian Zhongshu suffered "misfortune". According to Jiang Yang's memory, "When he first arrived in Oxford, he kissed the land in Oxford and knocked out most of his front teeth. He went out alone, and the bus left before it stood firm. He had a big fall. We were tenants of Lao Jin's house at that time. In addition to my husband and wife, there are two tenants living in a single room, one is Lin and the other is Zeng, both of whom are medical experts visiting Oxford. Zhong Shu fell down and came back, covering her mouth with a handkerchief. The handkerchief was covered with blood. I shook it off, leaving half a broken tooth full of blood. I am anxious and don't know how to repair my bad teeth. Fortunately, Tong Yu is a doctor. They taught me to accompany Zhong Shu to find a dentist, pull out a bad tooth, and then insert false teeth. " This inevitably reminds her that Qian Zhongshu once lamented "clumsy hands and feet." It turns out that all she knows is that he can't tie a bow, can't tell his left foot from his right foot, and can only grasp chopsticks like a child. She doesn't know how stupid he is in other ways.

Oxford University is one of the oldest universities in Britain, which has gathered many famous experts and scholars and trained a large number of philosophers, scientists, writers and politicians in history. Oxford University has a world-class library called Bodley Library. Qian Zhongshu translated his plays into Full House. As early as 16 1 1 year when Shakespeare was alive, British book companies undertook the obligation to send all kinds of new books (including reprinted books) to this library for free. Qian Zhongshu and Jiang Yang are at home here and spend almost all their spare time reading. They borrowed many books, including literature, philosophy, psychology, history and so on, fixed a seat, read one book at a time and took detailed notes. It's fascinating to watch you study all day and enjoy it. As Jiang Yang is not a formal student, he has no homework and can control all the time by himself. She has never enjoyed such freedom before. In the library of Oxford University, the room is full of literary classics, and sitting in the book city fully satisfies her "gluttony" desire for books. Jiang Yang made a course for himself and read a book carefully from beginning to end. What's wrong with reading like this?

Cook, learn to be the master.

In Oxford, Jiang Yang rented a nice house for himself and Qian Zhongshu. The location is very good, close to the school and library, and across the street is the University Park. They first ordered daily milk and bread at the grocery store. Milk is delivered to the door every morning and put outside. As soon as the bread came out of the oven, it was sent home by a boy who specially delivered bread. It was lunch time. Cooked food such as eggs, tea, butter, sausages, ham, chicken, duck, fish, vegetables and fruits are available in all daily necessities stores. They just need to go to the store to choose. There is a boy in the shop who delivers goods to your door. The goods are packed in wooden cases, delivered to the door, left outside the door, and the empty wooden cases will be retrieved at the next delivery. They don't have to pay on the spot. Everything they want is recorded in the store's small account book and settled every two weeks.

Jiang Yang said with a smile, "Let's go to the library or go out at night to' explore' the food we need. When the store closes the account and sends the account book, we will pay the bill immediately and never default. The shopkeeper regards us as regular customers. If we order secondhand goods, he will say,' This is secondhand goods, and we will send them to you in a day or two when new goods arrive.' If there is any new situation, he will also let us know. The poem written for me by Zhong Shu Huai Ju Shi Cun 1959 says that I am a "master cook". "

On the first morning of their new house, all thumbs Qian Zhongshu showed his talent. Jiang Yang didn't wake up in the morning because he went to bed very late. He made his own breakfast and sent it directly to her bedside, and there was a small table for eating on the bed. Actually, it's very good, with butter, jam and honey. She has never had breakfast like this!

Jiang Yang believes that "it is an adventure for us to take care of our own food". At this time, she remembered that she had seen how to cook in the kitchen and learned to cook. Once lentils are sent to the store. Because I don't know the goods, the shell is too thick and the beans are too small. She suddenly realized that this is a special kind of shell, not lentils, so she stewed it and ate it, which was quite successful. There is also bacon with bones in the shop, which can be cooked with fresh meat. Bacon tastes like ham. As for the pig's head meat, Jiang Yang always thought it was "off the table": all the pig's head meat in the shop was cooked food, which had been boned and pressed into an inch-thick round cake. The mouth, nose and ears are delicious, and the back of the neck is too fat. And live shrimp. She said confidently, "We have to cut off our beards and feet."

She just cut a knife and the live shrimp twitched in her hand. She was so anxious that she left the scissors and shrimp, escaped from the kitchen and came back. Qian Zhongshu asked her what was going on.

She said, "Shrimp, when I cut it, it hurts very much. Don't eat it in the future! " "

Qian Zhongshu reasoned with her and said that shrimp won't hurt like you. He still wants to eat. He can cut it later.

In this way, they played and learned to cook, and felt very happy. Qian Zhongshu is full and happy.

At that time, the couple were really happy and created a beautiful world by themselves.
