Literary Heroes of the Republic of China

Mu Yongxue felt Cai Zhaoyan's scrutinizing gaze, and after feeling it, he couldn't help frowning.

He felt that Cai Zhaoyan must be laughing at him when he looked at him like this.

Thinking of this, Mu Yongxue became a little angry, and even more angry when he thought of what happened last night.

After returning to Beijing from Shanghai, Mu Yongxue and Lu Qitong had a big fight, and the reason for the fight was money.

After the quarrel, because he was dissatisfied with Lu Qitong, he found a woman outside.

The woman's name is Qiaoqiao. She has a pretty face and is good at pleasing people. The only shortcoming is that her family was poor before and she didn't read much.

When Mu Yongxue was young, he felt that he could not stay with these women who had never read books and could not communicate with each other, so his dislike for Zhu Wanwan became more and more day by day, even if Zhu Wanwan was his wife, after he met Lu Qitong, he would I never touched Zhu Wanwan again.

But at this moment, he suddenly felt... It's not a bad thing that this woman hasn't read a book.

Qiaoqiao has never read a book, so he especially admires scholars. Whatever he says casually, Qiaoqiao regards them as wise words, and always looks at him with admiring eyes...

In front of Qiaoqiao, he has regained the vigor and vigor of his youth.

At the same time, he also found that teaching Qiaoqiao to read is very interesting. Seeing Qiaoqiao seriously draw his name, his heart is hot!

Mu Yongxue stayed with Qiaoqiao every day like this, and he didn't want to go home.

Although he didn't have much money, his salary of a few hundred yuan a month was enough for him to live comfortably and raise Qiaoqiao delicately!

As for Qiaoqiao, she also lived with him sincerely. After having him, she never saw another man. Later, he redeemed Qiaoqiao and rented a yard to settle in Qiaoqiao. Qiaoqiao even regarded him as the world , serve him wholeheartedly.

Before Mu Yongxue, apart from Zhu Wanwan and Lu Qitong, he had never had any other women. After meeting Qiaoqiao, he realized that women are so good, and he had to be addicted to them. At the beginning, he still remembered his family. Even if he was dissatisfied with Lu Qitong, Lu Qitong let a few children follow him When he asked for money, he would still give it, but after being with Qiaoqiao for a long time, he gave all the money to Qiaoqiao, and let Qiaoqiao save to buy a house.

Lu Qitong took so much money from him, anyway, he is not short of money.

After Qiaoqiao became pregnant not long ago, Mu Yongxue was even more proud of himself, feeling that he couldn't be more powerful,

However, just last night, Lu Qitong came to her door.

Mu Yongxue didn't even want to recall the chaos last night.

Lu Qitong wanted money, and he was also afraid that Lu Qitong would make a big mess and lose face, so after a whole night of discussion, he finally came to a conclusion, that is, he would give Lu Qitong 150 yuan a month from now on, and Lu Qitong wanted to accept Qiaoqiao.

In this way, Qiaoqiao is his aunt who passed Minglu!

Mu Yongxue didn't sleep all night because of these things, so today he was disheveled and could not help dozing off... He leaned on the table and fell asleep in a daze.

Seeing Mu Yongxue like this, Cai Zhaoyan felt even more sympathetic.

As for the others, they are busy with their official duties at this time, and a few young people among them are more serious about their work.

On the contrary, those who are as old as Cai Zhaoyan and Mu Yongxue seem to be content with the situation. When they go to work, they just read newspapers and drink tea, or they just chat and talk about their children, such as their studies.

"That kid in my family refuses to study hard, so I want to send him to Japan to make him suffer!"

"It's not so good to go to Japan now. Now I'm also an international student. Everyone likes to come back from the West!"

"Also, you all know that Shandong has been making trouble recently, and there are two books "Contagion" and "Secret Agents"... it's better not to go to Japan!"

"I also know this, but the ferry ticket to Europe and the United States is not cheap, not to mention the cost after getting there..."

……

These people sighed and said that although there are publicly funded international students who can take the exam, very few people pass the exam, and it is very expensive to spend their own money.

It's cheaper to go to Japan, but in this situation...

Cai Zhaoyan also listened to these discussions.

He was a little dissatisfied with the people under him who didn't work and just chatted, but he wasn't too angry. He could understand these people.

People of their age have experienced too many things, from the Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China today, and now the people who call the shots in Beijing City are still changing every day.

In this way, how can they do things in a down-to-earth manner?

But some things still need to be done.

He always wants to work harder, earn more, and make a world for his children.

He also wants to make this country better, better, so that his children and grandchildren can live happily.

Cai Zhaoyan called a few down-to-earth young people over: "I have an errand here, and I'm going to Shanghai to do it. Which of you wants to go?"

Cai Zhaoyan didn't say what the errand was, but two of these young people who were very hardworking said one after another: "I am willing!" It would be great to go to Shanghai to see it!

"Then..." Cai Zhaoyan glanced at the two, and finally said, "Then you all go together!"

In fact, Cai Zhaoyan himself wanted to go, but there were too many things on his side, and it was difficult to pass.

Cai Zhaoyan told those who didn't want to go back, and then gave the two people a task, talking about learning pinyin.

The two of them were a little excited when they heard the words. On the one hand, the excitement was because of the pinyin, and on the other hand, it was because they could see Lou Yuyu on this trip.

That's Lou Yuyu!They had all read Lou Yuyu's books, and they really wanted to meet Lou Yuyu, and even more wanted to know what Mu Yongxue's son was like.

When the two people who got the task were very happy, those who were hesitant before and didn't say "I do" for various reasons regretted it.

Cai Zhaoyan refused to tell anyone what he was doing this trip, it was obviously very important, so they gave up...

But now, it's useless to regret.

They regretted that it was really useless, because Cai Zhaoyan sent the two he had chosen to go south the next day, and at the same time he did not forget to send a telegram to Mu Qiong.

Mu Qiong didn't expect Cai Zhaoyan to move so fast. After a wry smile, he took out his notebook and began to write down the pinyin he knew.

In modern times, when using a computer, he typed in pinyin.

Although typing with pinyin is slower than typing with Wubi, when they write novels, they pay attention to not only hand speed but also brain speed when coding, and they have to consider the usage of words and sentences and plots while typing.

And his brain speed... thinking about [-] words in an hour is about the same. In this case, the speed of coding words does not need to be so fast.

And thanks to his habit of using pinyin, he remembers all those pinyin, but he has long forgotten things like wearing a hat in some finals...

Fortunately, these can be perfected by those people.

Mu Qiong took the dictionary, wrote characters one by one, and then phonetically marked those characters.

Mu Qiong took time to do this matter. After five or six days, he didn't finish the commonly used characters, but only made a few hundred characters according to the dictionary. At this time, someone arranged by Cai Zhaoyan came up.

Cai Zhaoyan asked Mu Qiong to learn pinyin, one of them Mu Qiong didn't know, but the other... that person was a name Mu Qiong had seen in history books.

This person has written many articles and is also very famous. Although he suffered a bit of setbacks in his later years, his life was better later on, and he lived a long life...

After Mu Qiong saw the other party and heard the other party's self-introduction, he was slightly taken aback, then smiled and invited him into the room.

Time was running out, and Mu Qiong didn't delay, and immediately discussed with them that he would teach them Pinyin at his home every afternoon.

Mu Qiong originally wanted to teach them pinyin elsewhere, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that such an arrangement was a waste of time—if he taught people pinyin elsewhere, he would have to run around, and it would be different at home. The time spent traveling back and forth on the road at least allowed him to start writing immediately after teaching these people pinyin.

There are too many things to do, he can only give up going to the hospital to accompany Fu Yun'an.

The two of them had no objection to Mu Qiong's decision, and they quickly found a hotel nearby and settled down.

Early the next morning, after Mu Qiong got up, he exercised and ate breakfast as usual, and then went to Yue Chaoying to learn diplomacy.

When he went, Yue Chaoying hadn't gotten up yet, so he first studied with Han Zhen, and after learning for a while, waited for Yue Chaoying to come, then asked Yue Chaoying some things he didn't understand, and chatted with Yue Chaoying .

Things like diplomacy need to be listened to, seen, and practiced. Mu Qiong can't practice it now, so he can only listen to Yue Chaoying more.

Yue Chaoying had a bad voice, and he always held an enamel cup. In the morning, he usually brewed the Anji white tea he was used to drinking, and in the afternoon, he changed to chrysanthemum tea.

Mu Qiong followed him all morning, and left when Yue Chaoying poured out the white tea to make chrysanthemum tea, and when he got outside, there was already a chartered car waiting for him.

He gets in the car home, grabs a bite to eat, and his students arrive.

Mu Qiong's Mandarin is still very standard, but he was a southerner in his previous life, so he can't distinguish the front and back nasal sounds. Fortunately, the two people Cai Zhaoyan asked to learn from him are both authentic Beijingers and can speak Chinese well. Very good, can be clearly distinguished.

Therefore, Mu Qiong's teaching is very easy.

Seeing his students recite the phonetic "wu" under "w" and kept reciting, Mu Qiong thought of what he did when he was just learning English...

Mu Qiong taught these two students very carefully, and discussed with them some things he didn't understand.

And this undoubtedly moved and admired his two students.

Before they came, while they wanted to see Mu Qiong, they were also a little worried, fearing that Mu Qiong would not be easy to get along with. After all... Judging from the way Mu Qiong treated Mu Yongxue, he had a very bad temper.

But Mu Qiong is actually very easy to get along with and approachable.

At the end of the day's teaching, one of them said, "Mr. Mu, you are completely different from what we imagined."

"What do you think of me?" Mu Qiong asked with a smile.

"We think you should be difficult to get along with." The person who spoke said: "The teacher who taught you in Beijing before said that you don't like to talk."

The original owner had studied in Beijing.

Because Mu Yongxue was unreliable, he was forced to go to primary school.

People these days study late, and they will repeat grades if they fail to learn. In ordinary primary schools, students aged [-] or [-] are not uncommon. However, the primary school that Mu Yongxue asked him to study with his younger brother is a Very good elementary school - the school that Lu Qitong chose for her children, can it be bad?

In such a good school, there are naturally very few students who are still studying at a large age.

As a result, the original owner became one of the oldest students in the school, plus there was a half-brother who was also studying in the school, so people always looked at him strangely.

The original owner was very repulsed by the school, so he simply ignored everyone, even in class, he didn't listen to it, and just read the books carefully, learning the knowledge in middle school. After all, the original owner already knew what was taught in elementary school.

And at that time, the original owner was still thinking about getting into the preparatory class of Peking University.

And it was the original owner's actions that made Mu Qiong completely unrevealed - the original owner had no friends, and people who knew him in Beijing knew that he didn't care about people, but his grades were very good, and he was No. 1 in every exam. Still reading middle school books...

It seems normal for such a person to write such a novel.

When these people learned about his current situation, they would not doubt it at all, and would only emphasize that he was delayed by Mu Yongxue.

The person who spoke to Mu Qiong quickly told Mu Qiong all this.

Mu Qiong almost forgot about Mu Yongxue, but when he heard someone mention it, he paid more attention and even asked a question.

Then I learned that Mu Yongxue actually had a woman other than Lu Qitong.

Mu Yongxue and Lu Qitong have always said that they are true love, but they did not expect this true love to disappear so quickly.

Mu Qiong felt quite boring.

Seeing that Mu Qiong was not interested, the person who was talking to Mu Qiong stopped talking and started talking about other things, which made Mu Qiong understand a lot about the situation in Beijing.

"Mr. Mu, the students of my alma mater have always wanted to invite you to give them a speech at their alma mater, but unfortunately the two places are too far apart!" the man said.

"If I have time to go to Beijing, I will definitely go." Mu Qiong said.

Mu Qiong taught the two of them to learn pinyin every day, and the two worked very hard, and they could speak Chinese well, but within four or five days, they learned all the pinyin and consolidated it.

After learning everything like this, they couldn't help feeling: "Mr. Mu, the pinyin you came up with is much easier to use than the previous pinyin!"

Mu Qiong also felt the same way. If the pinyin that already exists at this time is very useful, it will not be changed later!

But... "I didn't come up with this pinyin."

"Mr. Mu didn't come up with it, who came up with it?" Those people were puzzled.

Mu Qiong said: "This pinyin was thought up by many people. It is not convenient for me to reveal their identities."

Those two people were even more puzzled, but Mu Qiong didn't explain too much, they could only ponder for themselves—could it be that the person who came up with the pinyin was wrong?

At this time, Mu Qiong said again: "This pinyin, when you promote it, you don't need to write my name, just promote it in the name of the country." This pinyin was not invented by him, and he is really not good at stealing the fruits of other people's labor.

Speaking of which, if it weren't for the promotion of Pinyin, it should be able to change the current situation of different languages ​​in various places, and he would not have the cheek to show things.

Although the two people didn't understand, Mu Qiong said so, and they finally agreed, and then they felt that Mu Qiong was really a selfless person.

When the two left Mu Qiong's place, they felt emotional: "Although I admired Mr. Mu before, I always felt that he was still young and a bit overrated. Now that I have come to Shanghai and really met him, I know the face of the outside world. His evaluation is still not good enough."

Another person also said: "I think so too. The book written by Mr. Mu doesn't talk about him, but the fact that he opened a school, which is admirable."

The two of them only studied with Mu Qiong every afternoon these days, and took advantage of the morning and evening to take a good stroll around Shanghai.

And when they visited Shanghai, they had to hear a lot of news about Mu Qiong, including the matter of Mu Qiong running a school.

They even went to Mu Qiong's school specially, and went in for a visit based on their identities... Seeing those children studying hard, they had mixed feelings.

If only there were more people like Mu Qiong in this world...

When they thought of this, they soon laughed wryly.

In this world, how many people can be so selfless?

The two chatted and walked, first sent a telegram to Cai Zhaoyan saying that they were going back, and then got on the train that night.

Although it will be very tiring, they can bring back Pinyin earlier!

The train was crowded and it was uncomfortable to sit on, but the mood of these two people was always very excited. In their spare time, they still didn't forget to read the pinyin and recite silently.

Cai Zhaoyan did not disclose the pinyin in advance because he was afraid that it would not be suitable for use. In the end, he would be ridiculed for nothing. The pinyin itself does not need to be kept secret, so they looked at it openly. As a result, the people on the train all When they are learning a foreign language, some people even come up to talk to them and ask them which foreign language they are learning, which makes them dumbfounded.

After the two returned to Beijing, Mu Qiong felt much more relaxed.

But Goldman Sachs was not at all relaxed, and even received criticism from home.

In Japan, I hope he can get the production method of Xilin as soon as possible.

In addition, they also reprimanded Gao Shengxi, thinking that it was Gao Shengxi who was not cautious enough to let all the things they did when they robbed Shanxi leak out.

Gao Shengxi: "..."

Although he felt that the book "Secret Agent" was very familiar, and even saw plots similar to what he had done in it, this book was really fictional!

They took down Shandong with guns, not spies!

The main thing that a spy like him did at the time was actually surveying maps and inquiring about news.

However, even if Gao Shengxi said so, others would not believe it, at least some people in Japan would not believe it.

Some of them think that Gao Shengxi is not bright enough and should be reprimanded, but some people think that Gao Shengxi has done a good job and they should find ways to train more spies.

Of course, no matter what they think, they all feel that what Gao Shengxi should do now is to get the production method of Xilin as soon as possible.

"If Xilin was so easy to get, Britain and France would have already obtained it!" Gao Shengxi couldn't help but said.

Even if Britain and France were tolerant of Huo Ying because of the war, he knew that they must have sent someone to get Xilin in private.

Even if the governments of Britain and France did not do this, the businessmen of Britain and France must have done so.

But they obviously got nothing.

Shanghai is the territory of Britain and France. They already knew the existence of Xilin, and they didn't get Xilin. He has only been in Shanghai for a few months, so how could he get Xilin?

Goldman Sachs thought for a while, and finally sent a telegram to the country, expressing his thoughts. He felt that his country could unite with Britain and France to put pressure on the Chinese government to hand over Xilin—now China is theirs. Allied countries should contribute more to the war!

Goldman Sachs hopes that this idea is very good.

Judging from the current situation, if they really do this and promise some benefits, the Chinese government will definitely agree!Of course, although the government will agree, the Huo family may not necessarily agree.

It's just that Japan doesn't want to do this.

After all, if this is really going to be done, Japan will certainly not be the only one who knows about Xilin. I am afraid that Britain, France, and other allied countries such as the United States will know the production method of Xilin.

And they want it all to themselves.

Gao Shengxi's proposal was not approved, they just urged Gao Shengxi to get Xilin as soon as possible.

In this regard, Goldman Sachs can only listen to orders.

When Gao Shengxi was worried, Huo Ying left Shanghai.

He has a big business to do.

After learning from Tianxing that a revolution was about to break out in Russia, he asked people to collect a lot of grain and cotton, and planned to go to Russia.

After the revolutionaries are done, they must be short of various supplies, and they should not be short of money after they ransacked the nobleman's house... At this time, naturally they have to go there quickly and make a fortune from him.

There are also those nobles. After a disturbance, those nobles will definitely flee for their lives. He can help them escape to China and collect protection fees!

The more Huo Ying thought about it, the more he felt that this was a good idea, and he wished he could set off immediately, and then he set off immediately.
