Literary Heroes of the Republic of China

Gao Shengxi has been having trouble sleeping and eating these few days.

He repeatedly studied the book "Secret Agent", and then felt that he might be a traitor on his side, and at the same time felt that he was thinking too much.

If there is really a traitor, why no one came to arrest him?

Not only that, but his organization in Shandong was not affected either.

But if there are no traitors...fortunately, how could such a book be written?

Or, in fact, Tianxing only knows a general idea, and wrote this book to lure snakes out of their holes?

Gao Shengxi didn't want to back down, and felt that he should try to find out the specific situation, but he also felt that he should be cautious.

When Gao Shengxi was in Shandong, he once met a Chinese literati who was a good friend of Zheng Runze.It was because of this person's relationship that after he came to Shanghai, he got in touch with Zheng Runze, and the relationship between the two became better and better.

Before Zheng Runze promised Gao Shengxi that he would take Gao Shengxi to meet Mu Qiong, so he came to Gao Shengxi in advance this day: "Brother Gao, the banquet is about to start, shall we leave earlier?"

"Brother Zheng, I'm so sorry, I'm afraid I won't be able to participate." Goldman Xi said.

"What's wrong?" Zheng Runze asked.

Gao Shengxi clutched his stomach, showing embarrassment: "I ate something I shouldn't eat, today..."

Seeing this, Zheng Runze thought it was Gao Shengxi who just came to Shanghai and had a bad stomach: "Brother Gao, this matter can be big or small, you should go to the hospital to have a look."

"I will." Goldman Xi said.

Zheng Runze said a few more words of concern, then took his leave and left to attend the banquet.

He and Huo Ying didn't have any friendship at first, and they usually wouldn't attend such banquets.But recently, Huo Ying has done a lot of things that he admires, and his impression of Huo Ying is getting better and better, so he wants to make friends with Huo Ying.

When Zheng Runze arrived at the banquet venue, Mu Qiong and others had already arrived.

Huo Ying's house is located in a place where the land is very expensive, and it is not big enough to accommodate too many people, so Huo Ying rented a big house from someone to hold the banquet. The yard of this house is so large that it can even park hundreds of carriages. No matter how many people there are, they are not afraid.

There are soldiers guarding the gate of the mansion. Inside the mansion, there are also guards at five steps and one post at ten steps, and there are many soldiers patrolling.

In this era, ordinary people are insecure in all aspects, but those at the top can buy their own safety with money.

They seem to live in different worlds.

Before Fu Yun'an came over for something, Mu Qiong found a corner to sit down and rest. As soon as he sat down, he heard someone say: "In today's society, chivalry uses martial arts to violate the law, and literature uses Confucianism to disrupt the law...Han Zhen, you You must keep your heart, and no matter what you do, you must think about whether what you do is good or bad for this country."

Xia uses martial arts to break the ban, and literature uses Confucianism to disrupt the law?Mu Qiong felt that there was some truth to this statement.

The warlords at this time are undoubtedly using force to violate the ban. As for the literati at this time...their starting point may be good, and what they do is not necessarily the case.

Mu Qiong looked over and found that the person who said this was an old man in his 60s and [-]s, leaning on a cane.

The man's head is a bit bald, the rest of his hair is also gray, his eyes are full of wrinkles, and there is a scar on his face. He is talking to a young man in his twenties at the moment.

"Teacher, I will." The young man named Han Zhen said.

"You have to be ashamed of your heart when you do things, and don't care too much about things..." The old man said slowly but forcefully.

The young man should be one by one.

"Hello, old man." Mu Qiong took the initiative to greet the old man.When the old man talked to the young man, he was teaching the young man, and his words were very correct, which gave Mu Qiong the idea of ​​getting to know him.

"Hello, young man," said the old man.

"My name is Mu Qiong, and I'm the editor-in-chief of Education Monthly. What's your surname, sir?" Mu Qiong first introduced himself, and then asked about the identity of the other party.

"You are Mu Qiong?" the old man asked, looking at Mu Qiong with the young man: "Lou Yuyu?"

"Yes." Mu Qiong said, and at the same time he was a little puzzled - the old man looked at him, as if he had a problem with him...

"I am Yue Chaoying." The old man said.

When Mu Qiong heard this name, he understood why the other party looked at him like that!

Isn't Yue Chaoying the father of Yue Hongwei?

After Yue Hongwei tried to stop Gu Shipei halfway that day but failed, he came to the school again.

At that time, Mu Qiong had someone stop him from letting him in, and then asked someone to inquire about Yue Hongwei.

Only then did he know that Yue Hongwei's father was actually a famous diplomat, and he was the right-hand man of the most famous foreign minister in the late Qing Dynasty.

However, Yue Hongwei's father had already retired, and at the same time, his reputation was not very good.

And that's not surprising.

At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the Qing government signed many treaties with foreigners, and all of these treaties were for land cession and compensation.

To be honest, the signing of these treaties cannot be blamed on the signers or the diplomats. According to Mu Qiong's understanding, most of the diplomats who participated in the negotiations at that time were trying to fight for the interests of the country.

But when the public is angry, it is easy to vent all kinds of emotions on those diplomats.

Yue Chaoying... It is said that after signing a treaty that humiliated the country, he was beaten to the point of bleeding.

However, at that time, he and his boss had already tried their best.

When Mu Qiong used to read the history of the Republic of China, he felt that the likes and dislikes of the people in it could not be judged according to his own ideas. After this era, he felt so even more. At this time, Yue Chaoying was not like some people. Same, think he is a traitor.

This country is not something that diplomats can sell if they want to.

"Mr. Yue, hello." Mu Qiong said.

"I'm not good." Yue Chaoying said without hesitation.

Mu Qiong was taken aback when he heard the words, and at this time, Yue Chaoying said again: "You have already achieved something at a young age, your future is limitless, and you should also have a confidante, why do you want to insert yourself into other people's husband and wife relationship? ?”

"Why did Mr. Yue say that? I have never penetrated into other people's marital relationship." Mu Qiong said.

After thinking about it, Mu Qiong knew that Yue Chaoying must have misunderstood him and Gu Shipei.

"Why don't you let my daughter-in-law go home?" Yue Chaoying frowned.

Mu Qiong looked at Yue Chaoying, thinking of the other party's previous position and the turmoil that the other party had experienced, she didn't hide anything, and told the truth: "It's not that I don't want Miss Gu to go home, it's that Miss Gu doesn't want to go back. As for the reason ...Does Mr. Yue know that your son likes to beat people?"

Yue Chaoying was very upset when he heard Mu Qiong call Gu Shipei "Miss Gu", and he said without hesitation when he heard what happened next: "Nonsense! My son has always been timid, how could he beat someone!"

Mu Qiong said: "Miss Gu has also come to the banquet. If Mr. Yue doesn't believe it, you can ask."

There was no trace of guilt on Mu Qiong's face. Seeing this, Yue Chaoying became a little suspicious, and immediately said: "I will ask myself. If you dare to lie to me, I will not let you go lightly!"

Mu Qiong said: "I never lie."

Mu Qiong had a good impression of Yue Chaoying at first, but now, that good impression has disappeared.

Not to mention anything else, just say that Yue Hongwei is a domestic abuser and a traitor... I'm afraid there is something wrong with his family education.

Yue Chaoying quickly left with Han Zhen, probably to find Gu Shipei.

It was also at this time that Mu Qiong suddenly remembered that Han Zhen also seemed to be a diplomat who had participated in many negotiations in the middle and late period of the Republic of China.

Mu Qiong stood for a while, and saw Zhu Wanwan and Wei Ting coming in from the door together, followed by Zhu Yu and Wei Yuanyuan.

Cheongsam became a popular dress in Shanghai in a very short period of time. Most people who came to the banquet today wore cheongsam, and his mother was also wearing a dark red satin cheongsam at the moment.

Zhu Wanwan has a good figure, and the cheongsam added a lot of color to her, making her look very radiant.

Mu Qiong went over to say hello, only to find out that her cheongsam was made by Fu Yunan after she had someone measure her.

"Yun'an misses me so much, unlike you, I don't see you once in a few days." Zhu Wanwan said.

Mu Qiong was a little embarrassed.He had indeed not seen Zhu Wanwan for a few days, and he hadn't seen Zhu Wanwan for a long time when he took the school children to Huo Ying's factory.

But that's not his fault, he's just too busy.

In fact, Zhu Wanwan didn't really blame Mu Qiong, and soon chatted with Mu Qiong about other things. For example, Zhu Yu skipped a grade and will be in sixth grade in the second half of the year, and Wei Yuanyuan will also be in first grade.

Mu Qiong listened quietly. The short stories of these parents made people feel at ease.

But they didn't chat for a long time. After chatting for a while, Zhu Wanwan went to find her friends, and even Zhu Yu went to Huo Anni.

They were no longer the first two girls who depended on Mu Qiong for everything and Mu Qiong for everything.

Mu Qiong chatted with Wei Ting about his experience in running a school, and Wei Ting also praised Mu Qiong—Mu Qiong’s three schools have enrolled more than 2000 students, and the number may even increase to 8000 or [-] in the future. At the time, it was a feat.

Although Wei Ting thought wholeheartedly that their country should cultivate more top talents, he didn't think Mu Qiong did anything wrong—no matter what, it's always right to attach importance to education!

The two were chatting when Zheng Runze came.

After saying hello to each other, Zheng Runze chatted with Mu Qiong, chatting, and said: "Mu Qiong, I have a friend who wants to meet you, but it's a pity that I don't feel well, so I couldn't come."

"Who is it?" Mu Qiong asked curiously.Zheng Runze's friend...maybe also some famous person?
