Literary Heroes of the Republic of China

Mu Qiong is usually not at home during the day, but he happened to be at home today.

"Secret Agent" was about to start publishing again, so he took advantage of the last time to revise the manuscript, and then copied it in Tianxing's handwriting.

As soon as he finished his work, he heard the movement outside. After he walked out, he saw a middle-aged woman with a slightly fat body, good facial features but many wrinkles on her face, and three maids came in from outside.

She was wearing a very old-fashioned gown, and her hair was all combed back, revealing her head with a receding hairline.

This is an old-fashioned middle-aged woman, who should also be...Fu Yun'an's mother.

The eyebrows and eyes of the woman in front of me are very similar to Fu Yun'an.

Mu Qiong didn't expect to see each other suddenly, and couldn't help being surprised, but calmed down quickly.

The woman Fu Yun'an sent to take care of Fan Zhenzhu was thought by Fan Zhuan to be sent by Huo Anni.

Fan Zhenzhu is very unfamiliar with Shanghai, so she trusts this maid who can speak Shanxi dialect and understand Shanghai very well. At this moment, she said to this maid, "He lives here?"

"Yes, Third Young Master lives here."

"Is he stupid? Living in such a small house instead of living in a big house!" Fan Zhenzhu said disgustedly.

Although Fan Zhenzhu suffered a lot in the past few years, since returning to China, her life has gotten better and better.

Among other things, the house she lives in in Shanxi is very big.

But Shanghai is different, the houses here are very small!

"This house is not too small." Mu Qiong answered.Fu Yun'an obviously didn't want him to meet his mother, but since he had seen her, it was impossible for him to ignore Mrs. Huo.

Fan Zhenzhu looked up and saw a tall young man coming out of the room.

This man was quite tall, wearing a light-colored bamboo cloth robe, probably because of the heat, the sleeves were rolled up, revealing his lean and powerful arms, and he was wearing a watch on his wrist.

"It's not small, the house I live in is even bigger than this house!" Fan Zhenzhu said in Mandarin with a strong accent, and asked again: "Young man, who are you?"

Mu Qiong's appearance is very pleasing to the elders. Fan Zhenzhu liked him very much the first time she saw him.She felt that this person should be a friend of her third son - although her third son was abnormal, she was good at making friends, which she also admired.

Mu Qiong often dealt with the managers around Huo Ying, and he knew Shanxi dialect very well, so he could understand what Fan Zhenzhu said. He smiled and said, "I am Mu Qiong, and you are Yun'an's mother?"

Fan Zhenzhu suspected that she heard it wrong: "Are you Mu Qiong?"

The Mu Qiong in Fan Zhenzhu's imagination should be the same as those opera actors, making himself look like a goblin, but... the young man in front of him is Mu Qiong?

"Yes, auntie." Mu Qiong said with a smile.

Fan Zhenzhu had been kind to Mu Qiong before, but now her expression changed, and she was about to explode immediately.

But looking around, she held back again, and only said to Mu Qiong: "Let's find an empty room, I have something to tell you!"

She specifically emphasized the empty house because she was afraid that others would know about her son's problems.

Mu Qiong smiled, took her into the main room, and let all the servants go out.

"What does Auntie want to talk to me about?" Mu Qiong asked.

"I want to talk to you about my son!" Fan Zhenzhu said, "You and my son, Yun An, are you together?"

Mu Qiong knew a lot about Fan Zhenzhu's actions from Huo Ying, but he really didn't know that Fan Zhenzhu already knew about him and Fu Yun'an.

But it's good to know, Mu Qiong responded directly: "Yes."

"You are a good man, and you are with another man for money, what do you think? Are you worthy of your ancestors?" Fan Zhenzhu said.

Mu Qiong: "..." That's not a good thing to say... He and Fu Yun'an are not together for money. If he cares about money, he won't spend it all day long.

"You are still young, you will marry a wife and have children in the future, right? Hurry up and settle down with Yun!" Fan Zhenzhu said again.

"I will not marry a wife and have children."

"I don't believe you are fooling people like this. I know people like you very well. You just come out to make some money while you are young!" Fan Zhenzhu looked at Mu Qiong contemptuously. She hadn't seen this person before. Going through the market, her understanding of the world comes from all kinds of gossip, and about men and men, she only knows that some men are entertainers.

"Auntie, you misunderstood." Mu Qiong said.He was a little angry at the moment, but it wasn't because Fan Zhenzhu said that about him. After all, he knew that there was no such thing.

He was angry because Fan Zhenzhu's words were so harsh... Yun An was probably wronged by her.

"What misunderstanding? Do you dare to say that you and Yun'an are not together for money?" Fan Zhenzhu sneered: "Well, I will give you ten thousand silver dollars, and you leave Yun'an!"

"I'm with Yun'an, it's really not for money." Mu Qiong said: "There's... [-] silver dollars, don't you think it's too little, Auntie?"

Mu Qiong never expected that after coming to the Republic of China, he would still encounter such a situation as being dumped by someone.

No, if Fan Zhenzhu really wants to dump it, it should be Zhuang Tickets...

"Ten thousand is too little for you? Don't be too greedy!" Fan Zhenzhu said.

"Ten thousand is really not much. Although I am not very rich, I can still earn ten thousand by spending one or two months writing a book." Mu Qiong said, "The magazines I run don't require me to spend a lot of effort. , It can also give me two or three thousand net profits a month."

Thanks to Fu Yun'an's blessing, his books have been sold all over the country, and some books have even been published abroad. The educational monthly magazine is not only sold in Beijing, Shanghai, Hangzhou, and Suzhou...doesn't it make more and more money?

It's a pity that he spent all of it...

Mu Qiong thought, he still needs to save some money, after all he is a man and needs to support his family.

Fan Zhenzhu was stunned: "You can earn so much by writing a book?"

"Auntie doesn't know?" Mu Qiong said: "Also, Auntie, do you know Yun'an's worth?"

Of course Fan Zhenzhu didn't know: "He is a doctor, what kind of money can he have?"

"Yun'an's hospital earns [-] a month. It's no problem. He has other income. He can earn tens of thousands a month no matter what." of.

"How many tens of thousands?" Fan Zhenzhu was startled.

Don't look at her as the wife of a warlord, but because she is unreliable, Marshal Huo dare not give her too much money. He usually gives her a thousand a month, and she can do whatever she wants.

Fan Zhenzhu didn't need to spend money on clothes and food, so she saved all the money, thinking about using it for her son to marry a wife.

Ten thousand oceans is quite a lot to her. She never thought that her son, whom she despised, could earn so much.

"So Auntie, if you want me to leave Yun'an, why don't you give me several million?" Mu Qiong said.

Fan Zhenzhu: "..."

Fu Yun'an who pushed the door in: "..."

"Of course, even if you give me millions, I will not leave Yun'an." Mu Qiong immediately expressed his loyalty.

When Fu Yun'an learned that Fan Zhenzhu had come to look for Mu Qiong, she hurried back, but as soon as she came in, she heard Mu Qiong say millions over there.

Although he didn't hear the cause and effect clearly, Fu Yun'an could make a rough guess.

Mu Qiong said that even if he gave him a few million, he would not leave him. Fu Yun'an believed it. After all, Mu Qiong didn't care much about money... He gave Mu Qiong a funny look, and then looked at his mother: " Mother, why are you here?"

Fan Zhenzhu was still shocked by the "several million", and subconsciously asked at this time: "You can really earn tens of thousands a month?"

Fu Yun'an's hospital earns quite a lot because of Xilin. In addition, Huo Ying will also give him money every month, which adds up to tens of thousands.

But he also spends a lot of money, supporting the people under his command, buying things from abroad, no matter how much money he throws away, he can't see it, and occasionally he can make a lot of money.

His mother suddenly asked, it should be what Mu Qiong said... Fu Yun'an said: "Yes."

Fan Zhenzhu was suddenly at a loss: "Where is your father, how much does your father earn a month?" She always thought that only those who are officials have money, but after thinking about it, tens of thousands a month is not a lot. After all, his family's servants, Monthly example is only a few yuan a month.

Now that her son earns so much, how can her husband have hundreds of thousands a month?

"Father wants to raise soldiers, and he still needs money from his second brother." Fu Yun'an said.

"What?" Fan Zhenzhu's cognition was overturned. She always thought that her husband was the most powerful. After all, she went to Beijing and heard that she could still meet the emperor... But now, her husband wants her son to give him a hand. money?

Fan Zhenzhu paused for a while, then suddenly said: "You guys earn so much money, why don't you find a woman to marry? If you don't have children, what will you do with the money in the future?"

Mu Qiong: "..." He suddenly felt that his attitude towards Fu Yun'an's mother was a bit too nice...

"The world is so chaotic these days, what can I do if I have children?" Fu Yun'an said: "No matter what, I will not marry a wife and have children."

"Me too." Mu Qiong met Fu Yun'an's gaze.

The two of them just looked at each other, and the atmosphere was so good.

But Fan Zhenzhu became angry again: "Huo Yun'an, you are such a white-eyed wolf, you earn so much money, and you won't give me a penny! Did you give the money to the Fu family?"

The ambiguous atmosphere between Mu Qiong and Fu Yun'an disappeared immediately, and Fu Yun'an said to Mu Qiong: "Sorry, my mother has a bad temper."

"It's okay." Mu Qiong said.

The two ignored Fan Zhenzhu together.

Fan Zhenzhu is actually quite pathetic, she has no skills and doesn't understand anything, and the people around her can't manage well, even if she wants to make a fuss, she can't find out if her two sons don't condone What a wave.

Fu Yun'an quickly sent her back.

After sending the person away, Fu Yun'an said again: "You don't have to worry about my mother, she will go back soon, and we will stay in Shanghai forever, we will never meet together."

Fu Yun'an used to have complicated feelings towards her mother. Although she didn't like her, she still couldn't help but get close to her.

After all, this is his mother.

Moreover, although his mother is sometimes unlovable, there are also times when she will sing nursery rhymes to Huo Anni and prepare food for them.

Because of this, the brothers and sisters would not really ignore her.

But now, his desire for his mother to look at him more has faded.

In fact, not having a mother doesn't affect him.

Even if Fan Zhenzhu didn't want to leave, but Fu Yun'an insisted on sending him away, Fan Zhenzhu couldn't help it... But Fu Yun'an, he had already made up his mind.

"Okay." Mu Qiong responded, and kissed Fu Yun'an again: "If you have anything...you can tell me."

Fu Yun'an nodded, but opened his mouth, he didn't talk about his family affairs, he just said: "I can't make tens of thousands a month."

Mu Qiong laughed.

Fu Yun'an wanted to send Fan Zhenzhu back to Shanxi, but failed in the end.

After returning from Fu Yun'an's place that day, Fan Zhenzhu began to pretend to be sick and didn't eat... Although both Mu Qiong and Huo Ying knew that she was faking sick, but Fan Zhenzhu was crying, making noise and going on a hunger strike. She had no choice but to use her illness as an excuse not to let her go out and arrange a few more people around her.

Fan Zhenzhu's arrival didn't affect Mu Qiong at all, his life went on as usual, and a few days later, "Secret Agent" was published in Hope Monthly again.

The Hope Monthly was sold out almost immediately.

"This Chang Shengxi is really too insidious to think of such a way!"

"These Japanese are horrible!"

"I don't know if such a person really exists!"

……

Ordinary people who read the book talked about it.

As for some literati, they were amazed: "Tianxing actually wrote about a villain...it's really different."

"The various practices of Chang Shengxi are creepy."

"I don't know how Mr. Tianxing came up with such a book. It's amazing!"

……

Of course, some people read this book, not for entertainment.

Jiang family.

After Jiang Xinchun had read the previous two issues of "Secret Agents", he told the bookstore owner that if there was another "Hopeful Monthly Newsletter" with the book "Secret Agents" printed, he would ask the bookstore owner to send it immediately.

Jiang Xinchun is the boss of Shanghai, who dare not listen to him?So early in the morning, the bookstore delivered the book to him.

He had someone fry a plate of stinky tofu, and watched while eating.

The cases in the book "Secret Agent" are very worth learning.

Jiang Xinchun didn't like reading, and he always felt that reading books was unreliable for learning knowledge - those books were difficult to understand, that's all, his world was created by him, and all the things he knew were also groped out through his hard work , he doesn't think reading is useful!

Those nerds who yelled "Zhihuzheye" didn't see anything done!

However, since Shanghai began to publish some easy-to-understand vernacular books, he gradually started to read casual books.

After all, these books are easy to understand.

In the end, when he read idle books, he saw a lot of things in them!

Jiang Xinchun really wanted to create an organization similar to the spy organization in "Secret Agent".

Jiang Fengming also had this idea.

After Jiang Xinchun finished eating the stinky tofu, he finished reading the book in his hand, and at this time, Jiang Fengming came: "Father, I have something to ask you!"

"What do you want from me?" Jiang Xinchun looked at Jiang Fengming with great interest. His son had never asked him "begging" before.

"Father, give me some manpower and some money!" Jiang Fengming said.

"What do you want to do?" Jiang Xinchun asked.

Jiang Fengming didn't know what he wanted to do before, and he was a little confused, so he just idled away from doing business every day, but now, he already has a clear goal.

He wants to form a powerful intelligence network!

His organization must be stronger than that of the Japanese!

Jiang Fengming talked about his thoughts.

Jiang Xinchun was noncommittal and kept looking at him.

Jiang Fengming was seen as confused, and he was struggling, Jiang Xinchun said: "I will give you both money and people, so do your best."

Jiang Fengming happily responded.

At the same time, many people, like Jiang's father and son, were studying the book "Secret Agent", even Gao Shengxi who was hiding in Shanghai was no exception.

The new issue of "Secret Agent" has a lot of content, and the protagonist has done a lot of things, and these things are more and more familiar to Goldman Sachs.

Even if many of them, they have not actually done.

"The spies in our team haven't been found yet?" Gao Shengxi asked.

"Not yet." Gao Shengxi's men said, they have been investigating the spies recently, making people panic, but unfortunately nothing was found... Gao Shengxi's men were also very helpless.

At this time, Gao Shengxi looked at his subordinates.

They have been unable to find out the spy. Could it be that the spy is actually someone close to him?

Such a thought flashed through Gao Shengxi's mind, and the more he thought about it, the more worried he became, but he quickly told himself that it was impossible.

"Is there any news from Yue Hongwei?" Gao Shengxi asked again.

"No, he should have been locked up by his father, and we can't contact him now."

"Then don't contact me for the time being." Goldman Xi said, and suddenly thought of something: "How many people are there in our factory in Huo Ying?"

"There are three people in total." The man said.

Huo Ying's factories all went to other places to recruit poor people. They didn't know in advance where these people were going to recruit workers. Naturally, they couldn't put people in, so they had to think of other ways.

Fortunately, because some employees brought their families to Shanghai, they finally arranged for people to mix in.

It's a pity that there are not many people.

Gao Shengxi nodded, frowning.

This person is still too few...

Goldman Sachs is watching "Secret Agent", and other Japanese are also watching it, and besides Japanese, people from other countries have also seen "Secret Agent".

People in Britain and France like this book very much: "We must quickly translate this book and send it back to China!"

"This book is great!"

"Woe to those Germans!"

"I believe that if this book is published, many people will buy it."

……

People in Britain and France loved the book, but that's about it, and some people, after seeing it, were blown away.

After a German saw it, he couldn't help scolding: "Despicable and shameless Japanese!"

Those Japanese are really disgusting!

They originally planned to return Shandong to China and ask China to send troops to help them, but the Japanese suddenly attacked them!

It's okay for the Japanese to attack them suddenly, but they still use conspiracy and tricks instead of confronting them head-on!

The German simply hated the Japanese.

In fact, the Japanese army did not use so many conspiracies and tricks at all: "..." We also read the book to know that our country's spies are so powerful!

After two or three days, when the discussion on the book "Secret Agent" subsided, Mu Qiong received a telegram from Beijing.

The person who promoted punctuation at the beginning invited him to Beijing.

The round-trip fare will be reimbursed, so forget it, he can still get the money when he goes to Beijing.

This person can be said to be very sincere, and he did this for pinyin.

Mu Qiong wrote him a thick letter, which contained a lot of pinyin knowledge, and explained the pronunciation and spelling of pinyin. Of course, Mu Qiong marked the pronunciation like this: a (A), o (oh), e (uh)...

After receiving the telegram, Mu Qiong hesitated.

After he came to the Republic of China, he has been staying in Shanghai, the farthest he has been to Suzhou, and now he is going to Beijing... He definitely does not have any emotions like fear, but he is worried about leaving Shanghai. He won't take care of stall matters.

Orphanages, educational monthly magazines, schools... Although he doesn't take care of things very much, he still pays close attention to them and will give some advice at critical moments. It's not easy to throw them all away now.

There is also the serialization he is writing, whether it is "The Story of Changing Son" or "The Secret Service", he has not finished it, especially "The Story of Changing Son". Mu Qiong wrote this book carefully and slowly, and the book will not be too complicated. It's short, and I can't finish writing in a short time.

With Mu Qiong's hesitation, he kept thinking about what to do, but not long after, he received another telegram.This telegram was still sent by the previous person. In the telegram, he apologized that he was too anxious and didn't think enough, and said that if Mu Qiong was inconvenient, he could come to Shanghai.

This person really attaches great importance to pinyin.

Also, at this time, in this country, there are many people who want to save the country, and are trying to find various methods. Everyone attaches great importance to education...

Two telegrams came one after another. If I don’t reply, this person might come… Mu Qiong replied a telegram, asking the other party to send a few people to study with him, and said that his pinyin is not perfect , needs to be re-studied.

Beijing Education Bureau.

Mu Yongxue was originally in the Education Bureau, and he was very popular and had a bright future.

But now, he has become a joke.

Before, he often said that his son was not good enough in the office, and praised Lou Yuyu again and again. As a result, Lou Yuyu turned out to be his son!

Everyone in the office sympathized with him and felt that he was very unlucky, and then secretly laughed at him.

These people were even vigilant secretly, vowing to treat every child fairly, so as not to be as unlucky as Mu Yongxue.

At nine o'clock this morning, the staff of the Education Bureau came one after another.

Many of them held newspapers and magazines in their hands, and almost all of them took "Hope Monthly", only when Mu Yongxue came in, he didn't take anything.

"Old Mu, you didn't buy the Hope Monthly?" Someone asked.

Mu Yongxue didn't speak.He knew his colleagues, many of whom secretly laughed at him.

He is a face-saving person. When encountering such a thing, he naturally doesn't want to talk to those colleagues.

Everyone found Mu Yongxue like this boring, so they ignored him and started discussing among themselves. Of course, the topic of discussion was "Spies".

There are many progressive young people gathered in Beijing, and the books of Tianxing and Lou Yuyu are very marketable. When the women in Shanghai clamored for liberation, the young women in Beijing also fought.

However, this is a long-term process, once or twice does not work, and now after a lot of struggle, it is only to make two universities in Beijing willing to recruit female students.

But this is already a big improvement!

In the past, women had no chance to go to college!

Everyone was discussing when they saw their boss Cai Zhaoyan coming.

Cai Zhaoyan is the one who communicated with Mu Qiong and promoted punctuation before.

Before that, he was similar to Mu Yongxue in all aspects, and the two had to fight for everything, but in the end, he was lucky enough to win.

When he came today, he was beaming. When everyone saw him, they knew that something good had happened to him.

Inevitably, someone asked why Cai Zhaoyan was so happy.

Cai Zhaoyan laughed: "There is good news, but I can't say it yet!"

As he said so, he looked at Mu Yongxue.

Mu Yongxue has always been personable before, but now not only does he not look as tidy as before, but he also looks a little vain...

I heard that Mu Yongxue found a good friend outside... This is the identity of the good friend, and it took too much effort?

Really, they are quite old, and they still do this kind of thing...

Cai Zhaoyan was inexplicably regretful, but soon felt that Mu Yongxue had done it to himself—this man didn't know what he was thinking, he didn't even want such a good son!
