old house bird thing

1925年3月12日9时30分，孙因胆囊癌转移到肝部逝于北京协和医院，享年59岁。弥留之际，他提到国事的遗言是：“和平……奋斗……救国！”

On the same day, Hu Hanmin ordered all localities to stop the banquet: "At [-]:[-] on the [-]th, Hu Hanmin received a call from Wang Jingwei, saying that Sun Yat-sen died of illness at [-]:[-] am on the [-]th, and went to Beijing. The flag will be flown at half-mast for seven days, and the public security bureau will be ordered to order restaurants in the city. Banquets will be suspended from now on, citizens will be banned for seven days, and in-service personnel will be suspended for one month. January."

The drizzle in spring is misty, and after the rain, the sunset is full of orange brilliance. In April, the spring is fragrant, and the ground is full of wind and flowers.Xiangxiang was ordered by Jiang to go to the Shanghai Party-State Branch on official business as Secretary Jiang. Because of Mr. Sun's death, the political rights within the party were re-divided. According to seniority, Hu Hanmin, Wang Jingwei, and Liao Zhongkai are all qualified to take over Mr. Sun's position, but which one? To do it was arguing and arguing. At that time, the expedient measure was to abolish the prime minister system and change it to a committee system.

At that time, Jiang was still unable to compete with the other three. At this time, he still needed to accumulate strength and wait for the day of take-off.At the same time, Xiao Churen, Jiang's attendant, also went there. It seemed that Jiang had given some private matters to Xiao Lie and kept them from being known to others.

In fact, this was a very awkward journey, at least Xiangxiang felt very embarrassed. There were only the two of them in the soft sleeper compartment on the train. Being in such a narrow and closed space, it was easy for Xiangxiang to think of all the things between the two of them. Originally thought that he would be a stranger to him, but Xiao Lie didn't seem to intend to do so.

"Has Yu ever been to Shanghai?" Xiao Lie didn't feel unnatural, and casually chatted with Xiangxiang.

"I've been here." Xiang Xiang replied, "I used to live in Shanghai with Mr. Liao for a year."

"? Then, does Ayu like Shanghai?" Xiao Lie asked.

"I can't say whether I like it or not, because I don't know this city well. At that time, the Great Revolution failed, and I followed my husband around every day. I didn't have much time to see what it looked like."

"Hehe, then this time I will definitely take you to get to know it well."

"Is the Chu person from Shanghai? I always thought you were from Cantonese, because you speak Cantonese very well."

"I can be regarded as a Shanghai native. I have been wandering in Shanghai since I was a child. As for where I came from, I have no memory for a long time."

Xiao Lie started talking about some anecdotes about Shanghai, Xiangxiang was gradually attracted by his topic, and the initial embarrassment gradually disappeared, as if returning to the days when the two first met.

After getting off the train, the two found a hotel to stay.Shanghai in the 30s and [-]s was known as the "Oriental City that Never Sleeps", and was also called "the Paris of the East" by many people.Just like an old song sang: Which one is more in heaven in Shanghai? Ten miles away, the foreign market is beautiful and the scenery is beautiful. Take a car, live in a bungalow, cover it with a velvet blanket, sleep on a copper bed, which one is the latest in woolen cloth, and which one is the fire? The diamonds are shining and shining, the dancing scene is the craziest, the singing is melodious and the pace is hurried, the lights are dark, the soul is swaying, there are lovers, men and women, one pair, one pair, one pair.

For several days in a row, Xiao Lie took Xiangxiang to all places to eat, drink and have fun in Shanghai, went to the movies, went to nightclubs, and even went to the casino.

At that time, there were no televisions, and a radio at home was considered a valuable store, so watching movies was considered a very modern behavior by people at that time.At that time, China already had its own movie industry, but it was silent movies. The heroines in several movies had amazing acting skills, and they could convey a suffocating style with only their body and eyes.

At night in the nightclub, Xiangxiang learned to dance ballroom dancing for the first time. The dancers in the nightclub wore backless dresses and high heels, swaying gracefully amidst the singing of birds and birds, but it was a pity that Xiangxiang didn’t have time to finish dancing , was dragged out of the nightclub by Xiao Lieqing with a straight face, and never went there again in the following days.

The most eye-catching thing for Xiangxiang is the casino. In a high-end casino near Paramount, there are so many guests, every table is full of people, shouting loudly.The guests here are well-dressed, and most of them are famous people. There are also many foreigners playing here in full swing.However, what is surprising is that the staff here seem to recognize Xiao Lie, and they all respectfully call him Young Master Xiao when they meet.

Xiao Lie asked Xiangxiang what he likes to play. Xiangxiang, a law-abiding citizen for the first half of his life, is like a round yellow potato, who suddenly rolled into an unheard-of world of flowers and flowers, no matter how wide his eyes were, he couldn't see it.

Slightly excited, I sat in front of a Sic Bo table, because this one looked the simplest. The Sic Bo table was a large table covered with patterned cloth, with a total of 16 grids for gamblers to place bets on.Generally, the dice are rolled first, and then bets are made. Winning or losing is based on the points of a single dice. If one of the three dice matches the bet point, the dealer will pay one; if two bets win, one will pay two; Three for one.

Xiao Lie brought a bunch of chips, Xiangxiang didn't care, just bet on the treasure casually, when the young man from the dealer opened, Xiangxiang actually won two, so he happily chose three numbers to bet on, the second time it was actually all hit.Putting a bunch of chips in front of his eyes, Xiangxiang went to look at Xiao Lie excitedly, and found Xiao Lie standing on the side looking at him with a smile.

"You play slowly by yourself, I come whenever I have something to do." Xiao Lie said to Xiang Xiang.

"Okay, you go and do your work." Xiang Xiang lowered his head and was busy placing bets, not noticing Xiao Lie winking at the dealer.

Three hours later, Xiao Lie came back and found Xiangxiang lying on the table with his head in his hands.

Xiao Lie shook his head and smiled, then patted Xiangxiang on the shoulder: "Ayu, what's wrong?"

Xiangxiang raised his head, with a dazed expression on his face, and said weakly: "I will never gamble again."

It turned out that at the beginning, Xiangxiang's winning streak was very smooth, and he was so excited that he couldn't sit still, so he stood up to play.Later on, there will be winners and losers. At that time, I felt that I had a bargaining chip to win anyway, and I was not afraid of losing.But after going down a few more times, I found that my hand was empty.

Xiang Xiang blushed a little and said to Xiao Lie: "I'm sorry, I lost all your chips. I'll pay you back how much it was."

Xiao Lie smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, if you don't have much money, just treat it as me asking you."

Of course Xiangxiang disagreed, and hurriedly said: "This is absolutely not possible. I must pay you back. If I don't pay you back, I will feel too sorry. I will definitely feel awkward when I see you in the future."

Xiao Lie frowned, seemed embarrassed, nodded halfway and said, "Well, I don't want Ayu to be awkward when he sees me."

He asked the staff at the table: "How much are the chips I took just now?"

The staff did some calculations and replied, "It's worth 536 yuan in total."

……

Xiangxiang repaid Xiao Lie's money, and then became a pauper himself. Before he came to Shanghai, he brought a total of 400 yuan in bank drafts in Oceania, and now he still owes more than 100 yuan. He only said that he would pay it back when he returned to Guangzhou.

Xiao Lie waved his hand and said no, and said with an apologetic face: "It's all my fault, I shouldn't have taken Ayu to the casino, so don't pay back the rest, or I should feel sorry for it."

Poor comrades will soon have no money to eat, no money to go out, no money to stay in hotels.His establishment is in Guangzhou, Shanghai does not pay wages, and a penny is hard to kill a hero, not to mention that Xiangxiang is not a hero at all, so he had to borrow some money from his only acquaintance, Xiao Lie, as a cushion. You said it so harshly, it's really embarrassing to do such a shameless thing now.

Xiao Lie hesitated for a while and said: "Actually, I have long felt that staying in a hotel is too expensive. I have a house in the Shanghai Concession. If you don't mind, you can stay with me for a while."

Up to now, Xiangxiang finally understands that he seems to be cheated, but under the current situation, he can't say "I spend money to stay in a hotel and I won't live with you", so he packs up his things and talks to Xiao. Lie went to the concession.

It was a western-style building with a small garden, and it was a residence where the owner never came back, but there were many servants and drivers inside.Xiangxiang Xindao owns such a house in the Shanghai Concession, which is equivalent to a middle-class man. The people in the casino called him Young Master Xiao that day, but he clearly said that he was an orphan who wandered around since he was a child. What the hell is this kid doing? of?

At that time, Shanghai was greatly influenced by the United States, which was reflected in people's daily life. Drinking foreign wine and eating bread became popular, especially in this kind of wealthy families who could afford to live in bungalows. Imitation of the West.Xiangxiang’s bedroom is covered with intricate cashmere carpets, and the furniture is engraved with European patterns. The Western ottoman and rose coffee table look elegant and comfortable. There is a classical copper bed with thick and soft cushions. It made Xiangxiang suspect that Simmons had also time-traveled. After sleeping on this too soft bed for a night, Xiangxiang had back pain and leg cramps the next day.
