Literary Heroes of the Republic of China

Fan Zhenzhu was born and raised in the countryside, and she has heard scolding from people since she was a child.

She is also quite good at swearing, and even more slapstick.

Right now, she was crying and cursing.

"Mother! Stop talking!" Huo Anni couldn't help but said.

But if Fan Zhenzhu is willing to listen to her, then she is not Fan Zhenzhu: "Why don't you let me tell? Going to teach is simply disrespectful!"

"Mother!" Huo Anni was a little embarrassed, how could a mother scold her daughter like that?

Fan Zhenzhu didn't care about her, and went to see Fu Yun'an again: "Are you sick? You don't like women like men! If I had known you were such a person, I should have put you in the toilet, filled with a basin of water Go down and drown you!"

Fu Yun'an just pretended not to hear.

He had already found a place to sit down, someone served him tea, and he drank it slowly.

Seeing him like this, Fan Zhenzhu became even angrier and sadder. She took out a handkerchief and covered her face: "Why is my life so miserable..."

Fu Yun'an also felt that her mother was very unlucky. For a woman like her, she should marry an ordinary man, live a peaceful life, and maybe be a mother who loves her children, but she was born in troubled times. , The man she married was still restless.

Of course, as long as she is willing to open her eyes and take a good look at the world, she can still live well, but she doesn't want to.

Fan Zhenzhu was making a fuss when Huo Ying came.

As soon as Huo Ying entered, his face darkened.

"Dajiang, you are back! Dajiang, you have to take good care of your younger brother, what kind of bastard is he doing! He doesn't want to get married... If he doesn't get married, he will have no one to take care of him in the future!" Fan Zhenzhu said Seeing Huo Ying, he said: "No matter what, you have to let him get married!"

"As long as you have money, why don't you worry that no one will take care of you?" Huo Ying said carelessly.

"Why are you talking to me like that!" Fan Zhenzhu was angry.

"Didn't I always talk to you like this? Mom, don't worry, even if Yun'an and I don't get married, we don't have to worry about no one taking care of us." Huo Ying said.

"What did you say?" Fan Zhenzhu was taken aback.

"I said that even if Yun An and I never get married or have children, there will be no one to take care of us." Huo Ying said: "By the way, mother, I also like men...Didn't Dad tell you?"

Fan Zhenzhu grabbed another teacup and threw it towards Huo Ying.

Huo Ying avoided: "Mom, why are you so angry? Don't you just like men? It's nothing."

Seeing Huo Ying's indifferent look, Fan Zhenzhu almost fainted from anger.

Fu Yun'an looked at Huo Ying in surprise. He knew that Huo Ying would definitely help him, but he didn't expect that Huo Ying would say such a thing.

Huo Ying met his younger brother's eyes and smiled. With him around, at least he can help his younger brother share some of the firepower...

It's a pity that Fan Zhenzhu's firepower was very fierce, even more fierce because of Huo Yong's stimulation, so Huo Ying and Fu Yun'an were scolded severely.

Fortunately, they didn't care and just drank tea by themselves.

Fan Zhenzhu got angry and wanted to make a move, but someone stopped her.

In fact, if it wasn't Fan Zhenzhu who cursed, Huo Ying would have had him thrown out long ago, but this person was Fan Zhenzhu.

No matter what, Fan Zhenzhu is also their mother. Their father did not make a fortune in the early years, and his mother was very kind to them when she took him, his elder brother, and younger sister to live in the countryside.

Seeing that Fan Zhenzhu had almost scolded, Huo Ying asked someone to bring the dinner.

Fan Zhenzhu finally stopped, but Fu Yun'an said, "I'm going first."

"Aren't you staying to eat?" Huo Ying said.

"I'm a little hungry." Fu Yun'an said.

If you're hungry, shouldn't you choose to stay and eat?Just as Huo Ying was thinking this way, he suddenly thought - with their mother around, they wouldn't even think about having a good meal.

He let Fu Yun'an leave directly.

Fan Zhenzhu was very angry, but there was nothing she could do about Huo Ying and Fu Yun'an.

In the end, only the three of Fan Zhenzhu, Huo Ying and Anni ate together, but the food on the table was very rich.

Fan Zhenzhu had a hard life before, but now that her life is getting better, she attaches great importance to her appetite... Of course, Huo Ying herself is also like this.

While eating, Fan Zhenzhu was still talking: "Da Jiang, even if you have trouble with one hand, you don't need to find a man to live with..."

Huo Ying threw down his chopsticks: "I'm full, I'm going to bed first." He said, and went upstairs directly.

Seeing him like this, Fan Zhenzhu was even more sad, and said to Huo Anni: "Annie, look at your brother, what is he doing!"

Huo Anni just bury her head in eating and doesn't care about anything else.

Fan Zhenzhu just muttered there alone: ​​"I must not let your second brother and third brother take a detour! I will help them find out if there is a suitable girl."

Huo Anni still buried her head in eating.

"Your second brother isn't valued by your father like your elder brother. He should marry a rich wife! But he has a disabled hand..."

Huo Anni still buried her head in her meal.

"There is also that Mu Qiong, this person is really disgusting, he even picked on your third brother..."

Huo Anni couldn't eat well anymore: "Mother, what nonsense are you talking about!"

Huo Anni had a good impression of Mu Qiong, and she also knew how much her third brother valued Mu Qiong. How could her mother say that? !

"I said, Mu Qiong, why are you so angry? Have you also been deceived by this person?" Fan Zhenzhu was furious.

In Fan Zhenzhu's view, Mu Qiong has nothing but a son who haunts her and wants to climb high.

"Mother, do you know who Mu Qiong is? His pen name is Lou Yuyu, and he is a very powerful literati!" Huo Anni said, a famous literati like Mu Qiong, even her father, should be treated politely!

"A literati, no matter how powerful he is, what can he do? He's not an official!" Fan Zhenzhu quarreled with his daughter.

The two quarreled for a long time, but they couldn't figure out why. Huo Anni was so angry that she ignored Fan Zhenzhu and went out.

When everyone on Huo Ying's side was having dinner, Mu Qiong and Fu Yun'an were also having dinner.

Just as Fu Yun'an thought, they have porridge to drink at night.

Mu Qiong asked people to cook porridge with skimmed chicken soup, and also asked people to cook some light side dishes. Of course, such meals were not enough for him, so he asked people to serve the chicken used to make soup up.

"This chicken has been boiled through the soup, isn't the meat tasty?" Fu Yun'an watched Mu Qiong eating the chicken, frowning slightly.

"It's delicious, it doesn't have any effect." Mu Qiong said, he just wanted to eat some meat, and by the way, he would supplement himself with a little protein for himself who exercises every day. The taste almost didn't matter.

Thinking of this, he took out the chicken bones, threw away the unappetizing chicken skin after cooking for a long time, and ate the chicken directly.

Fu Yun'an saw that he was eating happily, and her appetite also improved.

"What kind of person is your mother?" Mu Qiong asked.

Fu Yun'an said: "She's not easy to get along with...don't see her yet, wait until I tell her about our affairs and she accepts, you can go see her again."

Mu Qiong looked at Fu Yun'an and smiled lightly: "Okay."

Fu Yun'an didn't want to talk about family affairs, so he just pretended not to know.

After dinner, Mu Qiong continued to write articles, while Fu Yun'an took care of other things.

While dealing with it, Fu Yun'an suddenly said to Mu Qiong: "Mu Qiong, Tang Suting recruited, saying that Gao Shengxi trusted Yue Hongwei very much, and he thought Yue Hongwei should be one of them."

Mu Qiong was a little surprised when he heard this.

He knew that Yue Hongwei 20 years later would be a traitor, but he always thought that the current Yue Hongwei should not be a traitor yet.

But Tang Suting actually said that...

"Mu Qiong, you have been studying at Yue's house recently, what do you think about this?" Fu Yun'an asked.

Mu Qiong said: "Although I go to Yue's house to study every day, I seldom meet Yue Hongwei. I'm not familiar with him, but I don't like him... Yun'an, find someone to follow him."

Fu Yun'an said: "Okay." People Mu Qiong doesn't like are usually not good things, so it's not a bad idea to find someone to follow Yue Hongwei.

While the two were talking, Huo Anni came.

Huo Anni came here with nothing else to do, she just came here to tell Fu Yun'an: "Third brother, mother doesn't like Mu Qiong very much, maybe she will find trouble with Mu Qiong."

"I see." Fu Yun'an said, and after asking about the specific situation, he sent Huo Anni away.

After sending her away, he asked someone to find a young woman, and asked that woman to go to Fan Zhenzhu's side and look at Fan Zhenzhu: "You have to persuade her, don't let her do stupid things, when necessary, Just take her home by force."

"Yes, Third Young Master!" The woman replied.

Fu Yun'an waved her hand and let her leave.

At the same time, the Huo family's house.

Huo Ying, who had entered the room before, came out again.

This house belongs to him, and so do the people in the house. As soon as Huo Anni left, someone told him about the conversation between Huo Anni and Fan Zhenzhu.

Huo Ying stood at the stairs, looking at Fan Zhenzhu indifferently.

"You finally came out..." Fan Zhenzhu's voice was interrupted by Huo Ying: "Listen to me."

Huo Ying then said: "I came here to tell you one thing. The fact that Yun'an and I like men is unknown to others. Father said that no one should know."

The first half of what Huo Ying said is true. Except for his family, no one really knows that Fu Yun'an likes men. As for him...he doesn't like men, and of course no one knows about it.

As for the latter sentence, his father was furious, but he never said that he couldn't let others know about it.

"And then?" Fan Zhenzhu asked: "What else did your father say? Did he tell you to change? Why are you disobedient?"

"..." Huo Ying: "Mother, if others find out about this, my third brother and I will get into big trouble, and dad will definitely hate us by then, and maybe he will drive us away or even drive us out of sight. Going abroad, in order to prevent us from taking care of ourselves badly, maybe we will let you go with us."

"I'm not going!" Fan Zhenzhu said without thinking, life abroad was like a nightmare to her, and she never wanted to go abroad again in her life.

"Then you keep the secret well, and don't let others know that we like men." Huo Ying said again.He was afraid that his mother would go out and talk nonsense and trouble Mu Qiong, so he could only think of a way in advance.

Fan Zhenzhu had thought of going to Mu Qiong's place to make a fuss before, but now that Huo Ying said that, she immediately dismissed her thoughts.

What Huo Ying said is correct.

Now no outsiders know about the problems of her two sons, if they are changed quietly, it will be fine, and it will not affect anything, but if others know about the problems of her two sons...

In the future, her two sons may not be loved by her husband!Others will always talk about her son!

When she came here this time, the reason why she didn't bring to Shanghai the girls she thought she could marry Fu Yun'an was because she was afraid that these girls would talk nonsense after they knew about Fu Yun'an.

She must let her two sons change first, and then think about other things!

Early the next morning, Mu Qiong went to learn from Yue Chaoying as usual.

Yue Chaoying knew a lot of things. Although he decided to retire, he still had contact with many people and had a strong network of relationships.

And right now, he is slowly handing these over to Han Zhen, a student.

"Teacher, why don't you leave these to Hongwei?" Han Zhen asked. He was already very surprised that Yue Chaoying taught him everything. Yue Chaoying should leave such connections to his son.

Yue Chaoying originally wanted to give his connections to his son. In fact, before he knew about Yue Hongwei's domestic violence, he was already introducing his son to his friends.He taught Han Zhen very carefully, but the most important thing is definitely his son.

However, after learning about his son's domestic violence and bringing his son home, and discovering that many of his ideas were wrong, Yue Chaoying gave up this plan.

His son has no sense of belonging to his country. If these contacts were given to him, he might make trouble!

But even so, Yue Chaoying was still thinking about his son: "Since I gave it to you, these are yours. But I also have a heartfelt request. If Hongwei has anything to do in the future, I hope you can help him." help him."

Yue Chaoying had mentioned such a request to many people.

He is not young, and he is still sick. He is afraid that he will not live long. Now he is worried that his son will not live well after he is gone.

Seeing Yue Chaoying like this, Mu Qiong felt quite complicated, but even so, he still had something to say: "Teacher, I have something to tell you."

"What's the matter?" Yue Chaoying asked.

Mu Qiong said: "Teacher, Huo Ershao has caught a spy, and that person said that Hong Wei is also a member of their organization...Of course this news is not necessarily accurate."

When Mu Qiong said this, he just wanted to remind Yue Chaoying. Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Yue Chaoying's expression immediately sank.

Yue Chaoying had been a diplomat for many years, and he was simply a genius. He had already discovered that his son had problems, so now that he heard Mu Qiong's words, he immediately knew the reason.

His son might really be a spy.

Yue Chaoying said: "Mu Qiong, help me to tell Huo Ershao that I will definitely take a good look at Hongwei. I will come to visit another day."

"Okay." Mu Qiong agreed, and at the same time breathed a sigh of relief.

With Yue Chaoying like this, he obviously knew about Yue Hongwei's problem, so he didn't have to worry too much.

Mu Qiong studied all morning and then left. Yue Chaoying waited for him to leave, but went to his own backyard.

When he was teaching two students in the morning, he never let his son follow him. After all, his son didn't understand anything, and following him would only cause him trouble.

But in the afternoon, he would personally teach his son, reason with him, and ask him to read more books.

But today, Yue Chaoying didn't have time to talk to his son. As soon as he passed by, he asked people to call the two servants beside Yue Hongwei and fired them.

"Sir, sir, please don't fire us." The two repeatedly begged for mercy, talking about their hardships.

Following Yue Hongwei, this is a good job, not to mention a lot of money, the work is not tiring!

Yue Hongwei's face was also a bit ugly: "Father, you can't drive them away! They grew up with me!"

These two servants are Yue Hongwei's confidantes. He is now locked up at home by Yue Chaoying. It is only by these two people that he can contact the outside world and communicate with Gao Shengxi.

"I've already decided, they have to go." Yue Chaoying said, and looked at the two servants again: "I will give you ten silver dollars each, and you can find work elsewhere."

Yue Chaoying promised to give ten more silver dollars, which was already very good, but the two servants kept begging for mercy, so Yue Chaoying simply had them kicked out.

Then, Yue Chaoying called a tall Russian servant that he brought back from Russia, and told him to stare at Yue Hongwei in Russian and not allow Yue Hongwei to go out. To be on the safe side, he even ordered Yue Hongwei to stay The small yard in the house was locked.

Yue Chaoying did this to make Yue Hongwei completely cut off contact with those Japanese.He also planned to publish some anti-Japanese articles in the name of Yue Hongwei. In this way, Yue Hongwei would naturally be able to keep clean with those Japanese.

And he didn't tell Yue Hongwei about his plan.

The confidants around him were taken away, he was locked up, and beside him was a strong Russian man who couldn't speak the language and kept staring at him... Yue Hongwei became more and more afraid.

Yue Chaoying, do you already know his identity?

Mu Qiong is not clear about the affairs of the Yue family.

Leaving from Yue Chaoying's house that day, he didn't go to find Fu Yun'an, but visited a few knowledgeable people.

Then, from those people, Mu Qiong learned that at the end of the Qing Dynasty, some people had already given phonetic notations to Chinese characters, so as to recognize and learn Chinese characters.

Of course, these people's phonetic notation is not pinyin, but "Zhuyin" like "Grandma" is marked on top of "apple" as Chinese people learn English, and Chinese characters are marked in their own languages.

In addition, the government at this time has already found someone to sort out this phonetic method.

When Mu Qiong learned about this, he compared the materials he had read in modern times, and he knew the specific situation.

During the period of the Republic of China, Webster's Pinyin, which evolved from the phonetic method of foreigners, appeared, and the government even promoted it. However, this phonetic phonetic method is not easy to use and is not widely spread.

So it happened... After foreigners used this phonetic notation to write the names of places and people in China, some Chinese literati and scholars couldn't understand them, and they didn't know what they wrote.

This even caused many jokes in later generations.For example, there was a big man in the Republic of China at that time. When foreign authors wrote his name, they used this pinyin to write his name, but when people in later generations translated this book, they didn’t even know who this person was. Transliterated directly...

Even Mencius became a "Mencius" after being tortured like this. At that time, a foreign scholar wrote a book in which he quoted a sentence from Mencius, and Chinese scholars translated it into Chinese. At that time, I thought that "Mensius" was a celebrity abroad, and it was directly transliterated...

Undoubtedly, this method of phonetic notation is not suitable.

If possible, Mu Qiong hopes to promote Hanyu Pinyin quickly, but it is not easy to promote Hanyu Pinyin, especially in this era when there is no radio. Not only that, it is not like punctuation. He writes an article and can Explain it all.

How to say Chinese Pinyin, you have to teach some people to learn it first!

At the same time, there is another problem, that is, his pinyin is actually very mediocre.

He did not go to school systematically, but was taught by a tutor. Although he learned Pinyin, he didn't consolidate it very much later, and gradually forgot some of it. After learning English and French, he became even less familiar with Pinyin.

Of course, when he sees the pinyin, he can spell it, but it is a bit difficult for him to write out the pinyin completely, and mark out all the syllables of the initials and finals.

However, he didn't have to come up with a complete plan as soon as he came up.

His country can produce many capable people, and maybe he starts it, and others can complete it.

Thinking of this, Mu Qiong took a piece of letter paper and began to write letters to the officials of the Ministry of Education that he had worked with before.

In order to prevent Mu Yongxue from succeeding, Mu Qiong once cooperated with this official to promote punctuation. After that, this official often wrote to him and even gave him gifts.

Now, Mu Qiong said some of his thoughts on pinyin, and wrote down some pinyin, marked the pronunciation with Chinese characters, and then sent the letter.

Mu Qiong was very busy, so he forgot about Fu Yun'an's mother.

But Fu Yun'an's mother has always been thinking about Mu Qiong.

Because of Huo Ying's warning, she dared not go to Mu Qiong's school to make trouble, but she wanted to see Mu Qiong.

That night, Fan Zhenzhu got into the car and had someone take her to Fu Yun'an's residence.

When Fan Zhenzhu came to Shanghai, she was accompanied by two maids and some bodyguards, and this morning, the maid arranged by Fu Yunan also came to her.

She brought the three maids to Fu Yun'an's residence.

The maid arranged by Huo Ying said: "Ma'am, the most important thing in a woman's life is her son. You can't have sex with your son!"

"I don't want to have a relationship with them, but they have a relationship with me!" Fan Zhenzhu said, she is actually quite easy to coax, the person Fu Yun'an arranged, coaxed her well in just one day.

"Since we are separated, Madam will find a way to restore the relationship and don't confront them..." The man couldn't dispel Fan Zhenzhu's thoughts, so he wanted Fan Zhenzhu not to be too harsh on Mu Qiong.

"It's not that I'm against them, it's that they are against me!" Fan Zhenzhu said again.

This person: "..."

But at this time, the movement outside caused Mu Qiong to come out.

The author has something to say:

In 2008, when someone was translating foreign books, the original name of "Chiang, Jie, Shi" in Webster's pinyin was "Chiang Kai-shek" and translated into "Chang Kaishen"

Before, some people translated Mencius into Mencius
