Literary Heroes of the Republic of China

At this time in Shanghai, the nightlife is already very rich.

Unlike many cities that fall into silence at night, Shanghai is extremely lively at night, with parties, banquets, salons, etc. being held almost every day.

This time, the Shen family's banquet was also held at night.

There are a lot of things to prepare for the banquet. Mu Changyu asked for leave from the school that day, and Zhu Wanwan didn't go to the orphanage. After the two got up, they had breakfast first, and then boiled water to wash their hair and take a bath.

But Mu Qiong sent Fu Yun'an to the hospital as usual, and went to Sheng Chaohui to practice martial arts as usual.

When I arrived at Sheng Chaohui's place, while practicing profusely, Mu Qiong remembered another thing: "By the way, Zhaohui, do you have suitable clothes for the evening banquet?" He took about [-] ocean dividends, but after he was "kicked out" of the Sheng family, the first two months of dividends were taken away by Sheng's father, and later "borrowed" by Wei Ting, so Sheng Chaohui has always been poor .

He was afraid he couldn't afford clothes for the banquet.

"Don't worry, I still have clothes. Last time I went home, I brought my clothes out." Sheng Chaohui said, "It's your mother and sister...do they have suitable clothes?"

"Yes." Mu Qiong smiled.The clothes Fu Yunan prepared for Zhu Wanwan and Mu Changyu were very beautiful.

After Mu Qiong finished practicing, he went to Fu Yun'an to take a bath.

After washing, he kissed Fu Yun'an several times on the grounds of expressing his gratitude.

Fu Yun'an: "..." Mu Qiong is pretty amazing, he can think of kissing anything...

Mu Qiong went home in the car Fu Yunan rented for him.This car is very new, even the driver is wearing a brand new suit, looking very stylish, in the car, Mu Qiong even has a feeling that he is being taken care of by Fu Yun'an.

He must make more money so that he can take care of Fu Yun'an.

When Mu Qiong came home, Zhu Wanwan and Mu Changyu had already taken a bath. They wrapped their hair in dry cloth towels, put on their western clothes, put on a cotton jacket outside, and were picking out jewelry.

Zhu Wanwan was afraid of being too eye-catching, so she wanted to wear unremarkable jewelry, but Mu Changyu, on the contrary, planned to wear the most expensive jewelry.

Mu Qiong can understand Mu Changyu.

He is not the original owner, although he hates Mu Yongxue and Lu Qitong, but that's it, Mu Changyu is different.

When the little girl was still living in Suzhou, she admired her father very much, but later she went to Beijing, her father completely ignored them, and Lu Qitong even bullied them several times.

For a long time, Mu Changyu's words were full of anger towards Mu Yongxue, and the more angry she was, the more she showed that she cared about Mu Yongxue.

Mu Yongxue has become her demon to a certain extent, and she definitely wants to have a good time in front of Mu Yongxue.

In fact, it was precisely because of this that Mu-joon agreed to let her go too.

He hoped that by venting his anger at the banquet, Mu Changyu would stop thinking about that father.

After forgetting Mu Yongxue, Mu Changyu should be able to live a happier life.

"Mother, wear the most expensive one." Mu Qiong said, "Don't be compared by Lu Qitong."

Zhu Wanwan's personality is a bit soft, and her childhood education made her like to find the cause of accidents on herself. Although she has changed a lot under Mu Qiong's "education", she still doesn't have much hatred for Mu Yongxue.

Even after accepting the new ideas, it's normal to feel that Mu Yongxue doesn't like her.

At that time, she was really stupid and useless.

Of course, Mu Yongxue didn't even care about his children, and framed them to drive them away, which shouldn't be.

Zhu Wanwan and Mu Changyu finally chose the most expensive jewelry given by Fu Yun'an.

Both of them had a complete set of jewelry, which matched the color of their clothes, and when they were dressed, Mu Qiong, who had already changed into the clothes also given by Fu Yun'an, said, "Let's go, I'll take you to perm your hair."

Zhu Wanwan and Mu Changyu were stunned with their wet hair: "Perm?"

"Yeah, I'll take you to have your hair permed." Mu Qiong said with a smile, "Although a perm will hurt your hair, it doesn't matter once in a while." Now that Zhu Wanwan and Mu Changyu have changed into western clothes, they naturally need a suitable hairstyle .

And curly hair is the most fashionable hairstyle at this time, let Zhu Wanwan and Mu Changyu perm it, and feel that it is good to see the world.

The car was parked right in front of their house. After getting out, Mu Qiong opened the door and made a gesture of "please get in the car" to invite Zhu Wanwan and Mu Changyu to get in the car. During the process, he put his hand on the door , to prevent Zhu Wanwan and Mu Changyu from bumping heads.

Zhu Wanwan and Mu Changyu had never been taken care of like this before, and they blushed for a while.

After asking them to get into the back seat of the car, Mu Qiong sat in the passenger seat. At the same time, he was a little embarrassed to find that he wanted to pick up Sheng Chaohui and go together...I'm afraid it won't work.

Compared with modern cars, classic cars at this time are much narrower, and only two people can sit in the back row.Both Zhu Wanwan and Mu Changyu are petite, so it's okay to squeeze a little girl in at this time, but he might not be able to squeeze in if he wants to.

Of course, if he was driving, there would be an extra seat, but he couldn't drive.

His heart was so bad in his previous life, how could his parents let him learn to drive?

Forget it, I'll hire Sheng Chaohui a rickshaw then...

Mu Qiong made a decision, so he didn't worry, and asked the driver to send them to a barber shop run by a foreigner to have their hair done.

During the period of the Republic of China, girls had short shoulder-length hair, which appeared a few years later. At that time, girls cut their hair short to protest various injustices against women.

Now, all women have long hair.

Speaking of which, Mu Qiong often writes about women when he writes novels, calling for women to pursue equality. There is also a reason-the status of women is too low at this time.

It is unimaginable to modern people.

For example, in 1920, that is, a few years later, the Shanghai government issued an announcement: "All the clothes you wear are either deliberately short and bare-armed, or imitate exotic styles, and deliberately dress up in strange clothes so that your arms are bare and your legs are exposed. Those who commit crimes are allowed to be arrested immediately and punished according to the regulations."

According to this announcement, as long as a woman wears clothes that are too low in the chest or show her arms and legs, she will be arrested and face prison.

Fortunately, later, some literati wrote articles against it and encouraged women to liberate themselves, so women suffered less unfair treatment.

It was at that time that women began to refuse to wrap their breasts and feet, cut off their long hair, and wore cheongsams similar to men's robes...

Under such a background, both Zhu Wanwan and Mu Changyu naturally have long hair.

Even in Mu Qiong's opinion, their hair is a bit too long. They wash their hair in winter and don't dry it for most of the day.

Mu Qiong asked the barber to cut their long hair shorter and then curl it.

As for himself, Moo-joon insists on letting the barber cut his hair into threes and sevens today.

Mu Qiong's hair was done very quickly, but it took a long time for Zhu Wanwan and Mu Changyu's hair to be done.

However, it came out really well.

Mu Changyu usually wears two braids casually, while Zhu Wanwan puts all her hair into a bun. Neither of these two hairstyles can be called pretty.

And now, with their hair down, the barber curled the back of their hair with hot tongs, adding to their charm.

That's right, the tool used for perming at the moment is tongs.

Nowadays, the steam perm has not yet appeared, and everyone perms their hair with a brass tongs. One of the two tongs of the tongs is round, and the other is semicircular. When combined, they are very similar to modern electrification. Used curling iron.

This kind of tongs needs to be heated first, and then used to perm the hair. It seems very unreliable, but it is not cheap to curl the hair once like this. It costs a full ten yuan. Zhu Wanwan and Mu Changyu add up. It costs 20 yuan.

That's why they didn't ask the foreign master in the store to perm their hair. It costs 100 yuan to find a foreign master in the store to perm their hair.

There is no way, there are too few people who can perm their hair at this time, and the potion for perm is still completely imported. Phosphorus sulfate, potassium carbonate, amonisi, etc. are used in strict proportions, and there are no people in the country who can make potions several.

Except for big cities like Beijing, Shanghai, Tianjin, and Guangzhou, there is no place to get your head permed even if you want to.

Of course, this was the early period of the Republic of China. In the late period of the Republic of China, hair can be permed for a few cents, and any larger city in China can have permed hair.

At this time, I used tongs to perm my hair, and the hair dryer was also very interesting, and it was also ignited.

When used as a hair dryer, it is a box about one meter high made of iron sheets. The bottom of the box is a charcoal box, which contains burning charcoal or briquettes.A nozzle is attached to the box, and when the hair is being blown, the apprentice blows the air below, and the barber above holds the hot air nozzle and blows it on the woman's hair to dry or style the hair.

It was already one o'clock in the afternoon after the hair was permed. Mu Qiong first took Zhu Wanwan and Mu Changyu to eat western food and drink coffee, and then took them to the cosmetics store run by a foreigner who bought face cream a few days ago.

When Mu Qiong came over last time, he noticed that the shopping guides here are not only girls, but also help customers with makeup.

Zhu Wanwan and Mu Changyu don't know how to put on makeup. To them, makeup means putting on some lipstick... Mu Qiong plans to ask someone to do makeup for them.

Makeup requires money, but it is not expensive. Mu Qiong spent [-] cents, and the shopping guide helped Zhu Wanwan and Mu Changyu put on makeup. Of course, the cosmetics they used were all brought by themselves.

Both Zhu Wanwan and Mu Changyu are beauties, and their skin is well maintained, but there are always some flaws. For example, Mu Changyu's eyebrows are quite thick, but they are a bit thick. For example, the sides of Zhu Wanwan's nose are There are a few tiny freckles.

But now...Mu Changyu's eyebrows have been trimmed, and the freckles on Zhu Wanwan's face are also covered by powder.

Zhu Wanwan, who is in her thirties, even if she is said to be 30 or 27 years old after putting on makeup, everyone will believe her. As for Mu Changyu, after putting on makeup, she looks much more mature.

Mu Changyu is a little more than two years younger than Mu Qiong, and is now fifteen.

When Mu Qiong first came here, she hadn't developed yet, she looked thin and small, she was just a child, but this year Mu Qiong has been improving the food at home, their food is very good now, and Mu Changyu When it reaches the age of development, it grows and develops rapidly.

At the age of 15, she looks like a big girl with such a dress.

Seeing this, Mu Qiong was both happy and worried.

He must keep a close eye on the little girl, and not let those people with questionable morals deceive the little girl away.

When Zhu Wanwan and Mu Changyu were all dressed up, it was getting late, so Mu Qiong asked the driver to take them to Sheng Chaohui's side, and even called a rickshaw on the way.

The speed of cars is definitely much faster than rickshaws, but at this time there is no spacious road, and people, horse-drawn carriages, rickshaws, and cars walk on the same road, all of which are very unfriendly to cars.

At this time, the car couldn't drive fast on the road at all.If you really want to go out, call a rickshaw that can go through alleys, it is definitely faster than taking a car.

Of course, cars are still comfortable when it rains, and besides, cars are a status symbol.

The driver of the rickshaw that Mu Qiong called was used to running, and it was very easy for him to follow such a slow-moving car.

When Mu Qiong arrived at Sheng Chaohui's place, he found that Sheng Chaohui was not there, but Wei Ting, who was wearing a suit and looked tired, was sitting in the room.

"Principal?" Mu Qiong was a little surprised: "Where's Sheng Chaohui?"

"His father took him back, and he asked me to wait for you here." Seeing Mu Qiong, Wei Ting stood up and smiled, which washed away the fatigue on his face.

Father Sheng said that he wanted to drive Sheng Chaohui out of the house, but it was just talk, but in his heart, he still wanted Sheng Chaohui to learn well.

In the past few months, Sheng Chaohui had learned well, and he began to think about taking Sheng Chaohui home.

Coincidentally, the Shen family and the Sheng family who held the banquet this time were also considered family friends, and Sheng's father took Sheng Chaohui back, intending to let Sheng Chaohui attend the banquet with him.The Shen family's son went abroad to study, and he is indeed promising, but his son is actually not useless... The monthly education magazine is still very famous.

Sheng Chaohui has always wanted to go back to the Sheng family, and Father Sheng came to invite him, how could he not agree?He agreed without thinking about it.

But he promised Moo-joon to bring Moo-joon's sister to the banquet...

In desperation, Sheng Chaohui went to Wei Ting and asked Wei Ting to help bring Mu Qiong's younger sister in - Wei Ting was also going to this banquet, and Wei Ting had no companion to bring.

To be honest, compared to Sheng Chaohui, Mu Qiong still thinks Wei Ting is more reliable.

He didn't reject such an arrangement, but... "Principal, there's no room for a car. I'll take a rickshaw. You can take a car."

If it was Wei Ting, he would be ashamed to let him take a rickshaw...

"Why don't I drive?" Wei Ting looked at Mu Qiong's clothes that were not cheap at first glance, and suggested.

"Principal, can you drive?"

"Yes, I have learned it." Wei Ting said, his family used to have a car, and he thought it was very interesting to drive, so he learned it.

Hearing what Wei Ting said, Mu Qiong went to ask the driver if they could drive the car by themselves - after all, it was a rented car, so others might not feel at ease driving it for them.

"Mr. Mu, of course it's possible." The driver agreed without hesitation, then got out of the car and said, "I'll just take a rickshaw and leave.

The driver bowed and left. After he left, Wei Ting got into the driver's seat and started the car.

There were many people along the way, and Wei Ting was not in a hurry, so he drove slowly, not much faster than walking.

After a while, Wei Ting said to Mu Qiong: "Mu Qiong, I have something to ask for your help."

"Principal, just say it." Mu Qiong said, he was thinking that Wei Ting might be short of money again.

In recent months, he has saved all the money collected from the educational monthly magazine, plus the money he earned from writing manuscripts, and the royalties from the publication of "Wandering"... He has saved almost [-] silver dollars now——"Wandering" " is relatively long, and the royalties are much higher than "Study Abroad" and "Seek a Doctor".

He originally thought about buying something for Fu Yun'an, but if Wei Ting wanted to use it, he could lend it to Wei Ting first.

However, Wei Ting did not want to borrow money.

Wei Ting said: "Actually, I'm not looking for your help. I should be asking Ms. Zhu for help... A few days ago, I picked up my daughter from home, but I don't know how to take care of it. I want to ask Ms. Zhu to take care of it."

"Mr. Wei, aren't your parents taking care of your daughter?" Zhu Wanwan was puzzled.

Wei Ting said: "Yes, they were the ones who took care of Yuanyuan before. They loved Yuanyuan very much, so I was relieved at that time, but in the end...they wanted to bind Yuanyuan's feet."

After Wei Ting finished speaking, he added: "My daughter's name is Wei Zheng, Zhengrong Zheng, and her nickname is Yuanyuan."

Wei Ting is over 30 years old, but only one daughter survived. He has high hopes for his daughter, and he names his daughter like a man.

Before, because he had too many things to take care of his daughter, he always felt guilty and wanted to make up for her daughter, but every time he went home, his parents would not let him have more contact with his daughter, and her daughter didn't like him, so she was always on guard against him.

After a long time, Wei Ting stopped planning to be close to his daughter until the butler of the Wei family who had been taking care of him and was very close to him sent him a letter saying that his parents were binding his daughter's feet.

Wei Ting's daughter is six years old this year, and for a girl of this age, in some people's eyes, bound feet are just right.

At this time, in Shanghai, Beijing and other places, many families no longer bind their daughters' feet. After all, these days, those promising young people don't like to marry girls with bound feet. If so, why bind girls' feet?

But in a small place, girls' feet are still bound today.

And bound feet, this will harm the girl's life.

A woman whose feet are bound will have mobility problems all her life, and she will be unable to bear walking a little longer, let alone working.

What kind of work do you do if you can't stand still?

In modern times, some people with flat feet cannot walk long distances, their joints swell at every turn, and their feet still hurt... But the harm of bound feet is a thousand times greater than that of flat feet.

Speaking of which, for girls like Zhu Wanwan who are petite and have a small frame, binding their feet will at most make them disabled, unable to walk, and even unable to stand up when they get older, and they will be a burden to the family for the rest of their lives.But for some girls with large bones, footbinding may kill them.

For example, a girl with a height of 1.5 meters 34 and a weight of 1.7 kg can match her with a pair of size 34 feet. Girl, if you let her walk with a size [-] foot, she will feel tired.

If the feet are bound, the feet will definitely be smaller than a size 34, and the soles of the feet will be folded in half and the arches will be damaged, making the originally very reasonable feet even more unable to bear weight.

In the Qing Dynasty, there were many tall women who could not stand up because of bound feet.

And it is difficult for a person to stand up, how will she live?

Wei Ting said: "Okay, why are your feet bound! I have an aunt who is quite tall. Because of bound feet, she can only lie on the bed after the age of 15, and finally died like this..."

When Wei Ting spoke, his voice changed.

Mu Qiong also felt heavy.

"Foot binding is really harmful... Mr. Wei, did you bring your daughter to Shanghai?" Zhu Wanwan asked.

"Yes." Wei Ting said, "I brought her to Shanghai and let her feet go. It's been a while, but this child doesn't like me and thinks I'm hurting her by letting her feet go. want to go home……"

When Mu Qiong heard what Wei Ting said, he knew that his daughter must have been brainwashed by his parents.

At this time, many women have received old-fashioned education since they were young. They take the injustice they have suffered for granted, and they don't think it is a problem at all.

Not only do they obey the three virtues, but they even persecute other women and despise those women who seek liberation.

Even in modern times, there are still many women who single-mindedly prefer sons to daughters, aborting female fetuses just to have a son, and even participating in female Durban, let alone this era.

Wei Ting's daughter is still young, if Wei Ting has a good relationship with her, it can still make sense, but Wei Ting hasn't been with her for a few days, how can she listen to Wei Ting?

"I found a woman to take care of her, but the woman still talked nonsense to her, saying that the young lady of a rich family should have her feet bound... She refused to listen to me, and I couldn't keep her with me... Ms. Zhu , I would like to ask you to take care of her." Wei Ting said: "I know that my request is a bit inappropriate, but I have no other choice."

"Mr. Wei, you don't need to be so polite. I am willing to help take care of your daughter, but I often stay at the orphanage. If she is taken care of by me, she will stay at the orphanage." Zhu Wanwan said .

She thought the orphanage was pretty good, but in some people's eyes, it was quite messy there, and she was afraid that Wei Ting would be reluctant to let her daughter stay in the orphanage.

Fortunately, Wei Ting is not such a person: "This is what it should be. In fact, it's good to let her stay in the orphanage to see the world."

After discussing it with Zhu Wanwan, Wei Ting and Zhu Wanwan felt much more relaxed, and asked again: "By the way, why are you all dressed up so well today?" Wei Ting was born in a wealthy family, and he knows jewelry very well. , Zhu Wanwan and Mu Changyu's jewels together cost tens of thousands of oceans.

Mu Qiong would not be able to afford so much money.

When Wei Ting asked, Mu Qiong didn't hide anything: "Today's banquet, my father will also attend, so let's tidy it up... These jewels are given by Doctor Fu."

"So that's how it is." Wei Ting said: "I heard that Fu Yun'an's family has a coal mine... It seems that he is indeed rich." Wei Ting only thought that what Mu Qiong said "given it to Dr. Fu" meant that Dr. Fu lent it to them, but it was not Doubt nothing.

It turned out that her boyfriend was a mine owner, but Mu Qiong laughed.

Wei Ting said again at this time: "By the way, your father... is Mu Yongxue?"

Mu Qiong told others about his experience, but like Zhu Wanwan, he had never mentioned Mu Yongxue's name to anyone before.

However, the upper class circle in the Republic of China was actually not that big, and there were even fewer people with the surname Mu, so it is not surprising that Wei Ting made a good guess.

Mu Qiong said: "Yes, the principal knows him?"

"I know." Wei Ting said, "I studied in a school before."

Mu Qiong looked at Wei Ting with some surprise, and Wei Ting said, "It's nothing strange. The famous literati these days, if you calculate carefully, many of them are relatives, or they are classmates, or classmates of classmates." Xue is a few years younger, but there is not much difference, they are almost the same age, and the acquaintance is quite normal.

When Wei Ting said that, Mu Qiong actually remembered that there was such a thing.

When he read the materials of the Republic of China before, he discovered that those famous people in the Republic of China can always have a relationship with each other...

"Principal, you don't have a good relationship with Mu Yongxue, do you?" Mu Qiong asked.

"I've only met it a few times, I'm not familiar with it." Wei Ting said, "By the way, forget it in front of me. Don't call yourself Mu Yongxue later, or you will be the one who suffers."

"I know." Mu Qiong said.Wei Ting was a bit deviant, he didn't think it was a big deal to hear him call his father's name directly, but if someone else heard it, he would definitely think that a son like him shouldn't do this.

"I heard from Sheng Chaohui that you want him to bring your sister in? If I bring such a little girl in, I'm afraid people will gossip about it, and it's not good for you and your sister." Wei Ting said to Mu Qiong, and said : "Ms. Zhu, why don't you come with me. The director of the Ping'an Orphanage is just right for me to be my female companion."

Zhu Wanwan thought about it and agreed.

Her daughter was a little girl, and after all it was bad to be with other men, she didn't care.

It happened to be a chance to find out about the situation of Wei Ting's daughter.

Although the car drove very slowly, after chatting for a long time, it still arrived at the door of Shen's house.

The Shen family has a big house in the concession. When the car arrived at the gate, there were already many cars parked nearby. Wei Ting parked the car aside, and together with Mu Qiong, picked up Zhu Wanwan and Mu Changyu from the car. down.

And when the four of them walked in, Mu Yongxue and Lu Qitong were already there.

Both Mu Yongxue and Lu Qitong have been abroad and seen the world, so attending a banquet is a daily routine for them.

But after they came to the Shen family's banquet, they still had an eye-opening feeling.

At this time, Shanghai is at the forefront of domestic trends, and the first place where all kinds of imported things appear is often Shanghai.

This banquet was grander than anything they had ever seen before.

Mu Yongxue is extremely rich and has a good job. When Lu Qitong attended such banquets in Beijing, she was always the focus of others, and her clothes were often the most fashionable.

In addition, she had studied abroad, which gave her a layer of golden light.

She is also very good at making friends, and makes good friends with many people... Naturally, she is admired by everyone.

But this is Shanghai.

Compared with the clothes worn by the people and women here, the most fashionable western clothes she brought from Beijing looked ordinary.

There is no one she knows here, and no one knows that she has studied abroad.

As a result, no one came to talk to her at all.

Such a sense of gap made Lu Qitong uncomfortable and even more uncomfortable.

Mu Yongxue never paid attention to these things, he didn't notice Lu Qitong's strangeness.

Moreover, he has acquaintances here... Mu Yongxue chatted with a few people he knew well.

Not long after he chatted, Fang Qiusuo came with his wife.

Fang Qiusuo went to talk to Mu Yongxue, while his wife stayed with Lu Qitong.

Fang Qiusuo's wife has a rustic look on her body. Lu Qitong looked down on her a little bit. As a result, she looked down on others, and they even looked down on her... After Fang Qiusuo left, Fang Qiusuo's wife immediately went She rolled her eyes at Lu Qitong, and snorted coldly.

Mrs. Fang, who has been threatened with divorce by her husband all day long, is no longer the obsequious old-fashioned woman she was at first.

Doesn't Fang Qiusuo like people with a temper?She has a temper now too!

Lu Qitong: "..."

When Lu Qitong was upset by Fang Qiusuo's wife, Mu Yongxue was talking about Lou Yuyu.

Mu Yongxue's status is not low, and someone even took the initiative to chat with him.

And when they stayed together, they couldn't help but talk about some very famous literati recently, such as Tianxing and Lou Yuyu.

Fortunately, this person is too mysterious, everyone can boast a few words at will, and there is nothing to say, but Lou Yuyu is different.

"Lou Yuyu's educational monthly magazine is very good, and my children like to read it very much."

"The few novels he wrote are also good, and the details are very well depicted. After reading it, people are very touched."

"I really like his writing style."

"He's easy to get along with too."

……

Everyone said what they said, but some people don't like Lou Yuyu. A middle-aged man who has been writing articles for the government said: "I think you have a little too much praise for Lou Yuyu, but it's just a love story Long, how can it be so powerful?"

"Some people only see the love of their children in their minds, so they only see the love of their children?" Some people were tit-for-tat.

They all know that this person who doesn't like Lou Yuyu is actually a stubborn old man, and what he can't stand the most is probably Lou Yuyu's preferential treatment of women in novels.

Lou Yuyu undoubtedly agrees with the idea of ​​equality between men and women, but unfortunately, many people do not agree with it.

For example, the heroine Xiao Sang in Lou Yuyu's recent "Silk Township" was criticized by countless people because of the plot of driving away the uncle's family who wanted to seize her family property with a kitchen knife.

Of course, most of the new faction people present were on Lou Yuyu's side.

Mu Yongxue also said at this time: "Lou Yuyu's novels are excellent. When you read his novels, you should not only look at the surface, but also look at the inside. It can be seen that he is a very thoughtful person."

The person who didn't like Lou Yuyu had to leave, and the rest continued to talk about Lou Yuyu.

Mu Yongxue also said that he came here to find Lou Yuyu, and highly praised Lou Yuyu.

Among the people chatting, there was Zhang Che from the Commercial Press, he and Mu Yongxue had a lot in common, and said at this time: "Lou Yuyu is still young, I believe that in a few years, he will become more and more powerful. "

"Mr. Zhang knows Lou Yuyu?" Mu Yongxue asked.

"I know, I published several of his books." Zhang Che said.

"Editor Zhang, Lou Yuyu went to study abroad, so he shouldn't be too young, right?" A young man said, this young man was in his early twenties, and he always thought that Lou Yuyu should be a little older than him.

"Lou Yuyu is not yet twenty. When I saw him for the first time, I was taken aback." Zhang Che laughed.

"He's not even twenty yet? He's really young and promising." Mu Yongxue was a little surprised.

"That's right, you can write such a novel at such a young age, and you can also be proficient in English and French, and you can run a magazine... It's really a generation of talents!" Zhang Che was very emotional.

"Although he is young, his thinking is still very mature." Another person who had met Mu Qiong said, "This kid is really outstanding, but it's a pity that he got a jerk father."

"How do you say that?" Zhang Che asked puzzled.

"You don't know?" The man said: "This kid, Lou Yuyu, has been writing non-stop for more than a year to support his family...his father spoiled his concubine and killed his wife, and actually drove him and his mother out of the house .”

"Is there such a thing?" Everyone was very surprised.

"My wife is a good friend of Lou Yuyu's mother. It's absolutely true." The man said, "It's fine to get a divorce if we can't get along with my wife. I don't know what his father thinks even if he doesn't want such a son. .”

"Extremely!" Someone said, and asked again: "I don't know who is Lou Yuyu's father?" These literati also like to listen to gossip. Although most of them don't even know Lou Yuyu, they are still curious about who his father is .

"I don't know about this." The man said: "I know, it's probably about Lou Yuyu. I heard that he couldn't even afford a fountain pen at the beginning, and he almost couldn't afford food. In the end, he had to go to a western restaurant to help others. Serve the plate."

"He can bend and stretch, this is a good boy!" Mu Yongxue said with emotion: "His father has really passed!"

"That's right!" Fang Qiusuo also said: "Addicted to women and not caring about children...you are really a jerk!"

While everyone was talking, another person said: "I also heard about Lou Yuyu from my mother. Fortunately, he is capable, and now he bought a house in Shanghai and settled down."

"This kid is really good, I must get to know him." Mu Yongxue said, "I wonder if he will come over today?"

"The Shen family must have sent him a post. Whether he will come or not is not certain. He doesn't often attend such gatherings." Someone said.

"Yeah, he's very busy... He has to take care of the monthly educational magazine, write novels, and help his mother manage the orphanage."

When Mu Yongxue heard what these people said, he praised Lou Yuyu again, and at the same time he relaxed a lot.

Since Lou Yuyu's life is difficult and he is young, he must be easy to talk to.

While everyone was chatting, the door opened again, and two men and two women came in from outside.

The beauty of the handsome women of these four men is very eye-catching.

"Wei Ting is here." Someone from Mu Yongxue said.

When everyone heard this, they all looked over.

Wei Ting is very famous.

The Wei family is a wealthy family not inferior to the Shen family, and Wei Ting is a well-known "prodigal son".Of course, those who are older think that Wei Ting is a prodigal son, while the people on Mu Yongxue's side all admire Wei Ting very much.

As for Mu Yongxue...he has mixed feelings about Wei Ting.

When he was young, he used to study with Wei Ting, and Wei Ting was a man of the school at that time.

Later, he had a good career. When there was no news about Wei Ting, he felt that Wei Ting was going to be worthless, and he was a little bit complacent. Then he suddenly found out that Wei Ting's family was extremely rich, with several hundred assets. Ten thousand.

His family is not poor, but compared with Wei Ting's family, it is much worse.

He struggled all his life, but he couldn't make so much money.

Also, not long ago, he actually learned that Wei Ting had established a university.

Running a university is not easy!

Shanghai and Beijing are far apart, so he doesn't know how Wei Ting managed to run the university, but I'm afraid...it still depends on his family.

With a good father, Wei Ting has everything...Mu Yongxue has mixed feelings in his heart.

Now that Wei Ting is here... Mu Yongxue immediately looked over.

Wei Ting was extremely handsome and personable, and the well-fitting suit added a lot of color to him—although Wei Ting left the Wei family, he took out his own clothes anyway, and men's suits would not be outdated, so this After a while, it's not bad to wear it.

However, the most eye-catching thing is the woman beside Wei Ting.

This woman is about 27 or [-] years old. She is extremely beautiful, with exquisite makeup and a beautiful dress, exuding the unique charm of mature women.

Of course, this woman's attention is not only because of her good looks, after all, at today's banquet, it is not uncommon to see good-looking women.

Everyone paid attention to her, mainly because...she actually walked with Wei Ting!

Everyone in Shanghai knows that Wei Ting refuses to get married, but now, Wei Ting has another woman beside him... Is Wei Ting planning to get married?

Ordinary people are just curious, but Mu Yongxue is now angry.

He looked at Zhu Wanwan, then at the handsome young man and woman behind Wei Ting and Zhu Wanwan, and felt a surge of anger in his heart.

Zhu Wanwan, this is Zhu Wanwan!

He is very worried about Zhu Wanwan these days, fearing that something will happen to her, but Zhu Wanwan is lucky, she climbed up to Wei Ting in a blink of an eye!

She left Suzhou on the pretext of coming to Shanghai to visit relatives, maybe it was just to find Wei Ting?

Mu Yongxue looked down on Zhu Wanwan and did not regard Zhu Wanwan as his wife, but
