old house bird thing

Chapter 43 Dark Corridor

After the party lasted for half an hour, Mr. Zhongxian appeared in the center of the venue with a tall beautiful woman on his arm. He first delivered a bunch of grand speeches for fundraising, and then took the lead in donating money.Although he is getting old, he is still personable and looks like a gentleman.

Everyone stood up and applauded, and the scene was very lively for a while.Xiangxiang stood in the corner, feeling a little bored, because he had no female companion, so he couldn't dance, and after drinking seven or eight glasses of champagne, his empty stomach was almost filled with wine.

A few dignitaries followed Mr. Zhongxian and donated money respectively. Then Mr. Zhongxian raised a glass and asked all the audience to cheer together. The beautiful woman beside him and him were the first to dance again in the center of the venue.

"What an enviable couple." A gentle voice suddenly sounded.

Xiangxiang lowered her head and found that Miss Song Meiling who had just left had come to her at some point, she smiled and extended a hand to herself: "Hello, my name is Song Meiling, you can call me Helen."

Xiangxiang hurriedly took her hand: "Hi, my name is Du Liangyu." Then he bent down and touched her wrist, and when he lowered his head to kiss her hand, the hair on his forehead spilled onto the woman's bare arm like water , which made her chuckle.

"If you want to talk about an enviable couple, all the men here are looking forward to Miss Meiling's attention, but I don't know which one is so honored." A certain woman on the side seems to have been paying attention to the situation here, interrupted abruptly Said, with a sarcastic tone, some women around glanced over to watch the excitement.

The scene froze immediately, and Xiang Xiang noticed that Mei Ling's expression was not very good.

Song Meiling's eldest sister, Song Zongling, and second sister, Song Qingling, both married outstanding figures in China at that time. With her flowery appearance and the knowledge she gained from studying in the United States, she could not easily commit herself to ordinary people, so she was 28 years old and not yet married. .

Xiangxiang only found out a while ago that she and Jiang had known each other a year ago. Jiang was deeply attracted by her and kept exchanging letters. In her eyes, Jiang was nothing more than a martial artist who made his fortune by currying favor with his second brother-in-law. At that time, he was not good enough for her.

Meiling suppressed her smile and did not answer, Xiangxiang changed the subject in embarrassment and said, "Men suffer a lot from being an enviable couple."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was immediately attracted. Several young girls around laughed lightly, and a wife asked: "Women have always tolerated your men. How do you say this? You guys are partial to your men, and I don't agree."

"I'm not talking nonsense. Ma'am, haven't you heard the poem 'New Three Obediences and Four Virtues'?"

"The 'New Three Obediences and Four Virtues' poem? This is a novelty. Why don't you talk about the 'New Three Obediences and Four Virtues'."

Only then did Xiangxiang realize that it would probably take many years for this statement to appear, so he smiled and said, "'The old three obediences and four virtues' are for women, and the 'new three obediences and four virtues' are of course for men, a total of seven sentences. "

"Follow your wife when you go out, obey your wife's orders, blindly follow your wife's mistakes; wait for your wife to put on makeup, remember your wife's birthday, endure your wife's beating and scolding, and be willing to spend money. This is the 'new three obediences and four virtues'."

As Xiangxiang's words fell, everyone couldn't help laughing. Some ladies and wives covered their smiling faces with fans and handkerchiefs, but the laughter still couldn't stop overflowing.

The lady couldn't help laughing, and joked: "Good boy, what a sweet mouth, you made all the ladies and wives here happy today, let me ask you, did you do this 'new three obediences and four virtues'?"

Xiangxiang laughed dryly and said, "Hehe, this, Xiaosheng is not married yet, and he hasn't had time to implement it himself."

The lady winked at some young ladies beside her and said, "The gentleman who wrote this 'New Three Obediences and Four Virtues' must be a good husband."

Xiangxiang thought, what a good husband, this poem was written by Mr. Hu Shi in Taiwan in his later years, thinking how heartless Hu Shi was when he was young when he wanted to abandon his wife who had given birth to him for more than ten years because of a mistress. Fortunately, Hu Shi The husband's wife was tough and threatened that if he dared to divorce, she would kill their children with her own hands and then commit suicide. Mr. Hu Shi's character is relatively weak, so he did not get divorced after all.

After entering the Republic of China, the country emphasized monogamy, so many guys who called themselves cultural revolutionaries felt that arranged marriages in the old days were a bad habit, and they pursued free love, so they divorced their wives at home one after another and married a knowledgeable and educated man. , and like-minded young and beautiful female students, such as Xu Zhimo, Xiangxiang once saw his gossip news in the tabloid newspapers of the Republic of China, all kinds of entanglements with a certain courtesan, but it was described as a romantic love story, his Many new poems also describe the determination to pursue "love" at all costs, reminding Xiangxiang of a grandma's novel many years later.

Although Xu is sought after by many young people today, Xiangxiang knew that although he wrote good poems, his character was not very good. Many years later, his first wife Zhang Youyi recalled that when he and Lin Huiyin were in love on the banks of the Rhine, Zhang Youyi went to England to visit him, and he made Zhang Youyi pregnant again while kissing me with Lin Huiyin.Lin Huiyin said that if he wanted to stay with her, he had to get a divorce, so Xu immediately forced Zhang Youyi to abort and divorce. Zhang Youyi was afraid of the danger and refused to abort, saying: "Abortion is very dangerous. Some people will die because of abortion." Xu said indifferently Said: "If you take the train, you will die. Don't you take the train?" Later, Xu and Zhang became the No. 1 divorce in Chinese history.

Miss Meiling also smiled, and she motioned slightly to Xiangxiang, who picked up a glass of wine and accompanied her to the garden.When the two were chatting, Xiangxiang found that Meiling was very talkative, and she liked to use English very much, as if English was her mother tongue. Sometimes Chinese could not express her meaning clearly. With the respect of the believers, he was very pious. In order to win her favor, Xiangxiang only said that he also believed in it. He seized this topic and talked with her about the "Bible" and "New Testament". Nearly midnight.

Xiangxiang drank too much wine that night, and talked for a long time, trying his best to tell Meiling all kinds of anecdotes and anecdotes, the characteristics of Cantonese life, and the experience of the Eastern Expedition and so on.Although it took a lot of talking, Xiangxiang thought it was worth it to please his future boss.

When I went back, I couldn't stand the ravages of alcohol, and fell asleep in the car.

The car door opened, and he felt that someone was supporting him and helped him out of the car. The night wind was blowing on his face, and the cool feeling was very comfortable. Xiang Xiang reluctantly opened his eyes and saw Xiao Lie who was supporting him.

He found that Xiao Lie ignored him when he saw that he was awake, so he murmured: "People from Chu, you are back."

Xiao Lie grabbed Xiangxiang's waist to lift him up to prevent him from slipping down, and replied flatly: "Don't sleep yet, go in and have a bowl of hangover soup."

When the spirit of wine came up, Xiangxiang was a little dizzy, only seeing the bright and dazzling lights in the hall, and then he didn't know anything.

The next day, the sun was shining on his eyes, and the birds were chirping outside the window. Xiangxiang woke up from a hangover with a splitting headache that made people want to split his head in half.

The maid came in with the meal, and Xiangxiang noticed that she looked at her in a strange way. When she looked down, she realized that she was not wearing pajamas, and her whole body was naked, with only a pair of shorts left, and they were not the ones she wore yesterday. Xiangxiang's face also flushed completely, looking at the maid embarrassedly, secretly thinking that she is the only one who takes care of her daily life, could it be...

"Sorry to trouble you." Xiang Xiang stammered.

"It's okay, no trouble." The maid stammered.

The two looked at each other in embarrassment for a long time, and the maid said, "The young master ordered Mr. Du to drink some refreshing soup. I prepared a Chinese meal for him, and I also made some millet porridge. You can eat it while it's hot."

"Okay, where are the Chu people?" Xiangxiang asked.

Three days later, the headlines in the newspapers shocked the whole country. Under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, Japanese cotton mill workers in Shanghai and Qingdao successively organized tens of thousands of workers to hold large-scale strikes. The dismissed workers went on strike again, and the Japanese capitalists shot and killed one worker and wounded more than 14 workers.
