Chapter 108 9. Jingzhu is sad for Xizi desecrated their holy love

On this day, Jingzhu said to Yizhu: "This year, the old qin master is not in Beijing when he celebrates his 80th birthday. I don't know if he has come back now. You should take some time to go to Danhua's place. If you come back, invite a few former sisters to go to the old man together. Make up for your life. The old man's life is also very pitiful." More than ten years ago, it was when I went to Jiangting to play with this old qin master that I met Xizi and formed this fate.The old qin master later taught Yizhu Yueqin and pipa himself, and Yizhu also thanked him.Ten years ago, the old qin master left Bada Hutong and lived in a rural hut outside Xizhimen. He lived on the meager savings of the past and lived a poor life.From time to time, a few former disciples went to see him, and the old man was very happy to see them.

Every year on his birthday, Yizhu would invite Danhua and others to celebrate his birthday together.As long as she is in better health, Jing Zhu will go with them.On this day, the old luthier would always play the polished pipa that he had followed him for decades, and they would sing along to the sound, choosing some cheerful tunes to sing.After eating birthday noodles, we talked around the table together, picking up some joyful stories from the Hengtang courtyard back then.The old luthier and they are all hard-working people, and happiness is rare for hard-working people.We don't usually see each other, but we finally meet again on the birthday celebration, can we pour out the bitter water again?Even if tomorrow's pain will follow yesterday's pain, let it be separated by one day today!

At the age of twenty-seven, Danhua also became a conscientious person, and married a tinker in his fifties who fled from Shandong and came to the capital.The tinker is not a bad man, but he has a bad temper and loves to drink.As long as he earns two more money that day, he will get drunk, and he will tell the most distressing thing in his heart: Danhua has been married to him for several years, but he has not given birth to a man and a woman.When you are very angry, you have to play Danhua.Danhua can't tell him about her past, she can only cry, and when she cries sadly, she will faint.When the tinker sobered up, he went to persuade Danhua not to cry.In this way, the two distressed people made do with their lives, sometimes drunk and sometimes awake, sometimes crying and sometimes laughing.

"Yizhu, congratulations, your Xizi has become a grand palace, and I heard that she is going to ask for a baby again." Danhua warmly received her former little sister, and after some gossip, she suddenly said this. "Who did you hear that Xizi is going to be begged again?" Yi Zhu asked in great surprise. "Why, you don't know yet?" Seeing Yizhu's expression, Danhua knew that Yang Du was hiding it from them, and she couldn't help regretting: You shouldn't talk too much! "My good sister, tell me, who is Xi Zi dating again?" Yi Zhu begged.

"I've also heard people say that Xizi and the rich gold girl who is currently number one in the Yunji class are having a hot fight. I don't know if it's true or not." Danhua spoke hesitantly. Yizhu was in a very painful mood, she no longer wanted to talk to Danhua about making up for the old piano master's life, so she hurried home and told Jingzhu about it, Jingzhu was also very surprised.After a while, she said, "I don't think Xizi is that kind of person, or maybe it's someone else's nonsense. You can go to Yunjiban tomorrow and ask yourself."

The next day, Yizhu hurried to Shaanxi Lane.She has been away from this place for more than ten years, and no one in the team recognizes her.She casually asked an old woman at the gate.As soon as Yang Du's name was mentioned, the old woman talked about how generous Master Yang was, and he bought a copybook with 30,000 silver dollars and gave it to Miss Fujin.The old woman was beaming with joy as she spoke, spitting everywhere, but every word and every sentence pierced Yizhu's heart like countless steel needles. That night, Jing Zhu and Yi Zhu kept their heads in their arms and cried for half the night without telling Mrs. Huang and the old lady.Yizhu is in pain because her husband abandoned the family to seek a new love, while Jingzhu is sad because Xizi has read the holy love between them.When suffering from insomnia, Jingzhu thought of many things.

She thought of their first acquaintance in Jiangting seventeen years ago and their love at Tanzhe Temple.She thought of the next five years. Although she often missed that Huxiang talent, she couldn't believe that he really loved her.Unexpectedly, five years later, the sweetheart reappeared in Beijing. His infatuation and innocence melted the girl's heart, which was originally hot but was cooled by the world.A beautiful woman who has fallen into prostitution, money and status are not precious things to her. What she loves and cherishes very much is this man's love, because this is exactly what she lacks in her life.In order to repay this sincere love, she is willing to wash away the lead, stay away from Jinxiu, and keep the vacant room for her sweetheart for the rest of her life.

God has eyes, and finally let them meet again in Xishan.The affectionate Lang Jun accepted her arrangement again.Although she doesn't have a formal status, and she doesn't have a normal couple's joy, she knows that her sweetheart also cares about her.Fame is secondary, and love in bed is also secondary. A woman, especially a woman who has been treated as a plaything by others, is there anything happier than being truly loved by a man? In fact, she didn't expect Xizi to be a high-ranking official, nor did she expect Xizi to do any earth-shattering deeds. Those few bold words in Tanzhe Temple were just an encouragement to the frustrated lover.All she wished was to stay together like this forever, until she turned white.But in the past six months, Xizi has changed, becoming less and less emotional towards her family, and much more indifferent towards her.He had a fierce fight with the eldest son of the Yuan family, dreaming of his new prime minister all day long, and often proudly claimed that he had found the best way for China to become prosperous and strong.Jing Zhu had heard long ago that the Yuan brothers were not good people, and now she was really led into evil ways by this eldest son.First he didn't go home for a long time, but now he openly went to Bada Hutong to hang out with other women, and even bought a painting with 30,000 silver dollars to please that woman.And at home, from the old lady to the youngest daughter, who is not living a frugal life?

"Xizi, you have changed your mind and become vulgar. You have failed my deep affection for you, and you have failed the sacrifice I made for you that ordinary people cannot understand!" Jing Zhu said silently in her heart. Early the next morning, Uncle Ji opened the mailbox and unexpectedly received an unsealed letter from Hu Hanmin to Yang Du.Uncle Ji fainted after seeing it. Hu Hanmin, who hated Yuan Shikai deeply and gathered forces against Yuan in Japan and Guangdong, satirized and scolded Yang Du's advocacy of a constitutional monarchy to save the country and holding a security meeting in very sharp words.Hu Hanmin called Yang Du a despicable and foolish profiteer, and he would not escape the punishment of the Republic of China if he embraced Yuan and proclaimed himself emperor like a teacher.The last few sentences of the letter are even more pointed: "When a husband sells literature and asks for money, he learns music at the right time. Even if he must get it, he is still disdained by self-loving people. What's more, the way of your step is always in danger. The Republic of China recognized your step as a sinner. The Yuan family After all, if you don’t regard your foot as a loyal servant, you won hundreds of thousands of gold and squandered it for a while, but your life and reputation are ruined, what do you do!”

Uncle Ji didn't expect that her own brother, the idol in her heart, would be ridiculed so much by others.She hated Hu Hanmin's rudeness, and was worried about her brother's situation.She recently saw the declaration of the Preparatory Committee in the newspaper, and also heard some rumors about the restoration of the monarchy.She has no research on the national system, and based on her intuition, she thinks that the republic has been implemented for three or four years, and there is no need to go back. Why bother to be the emperor for others and work hard?She has always been lukewarm towards Dai Yi, but her unrequited love for Xia Shoutian is getting deeper and deeper. She really wants to talk to Mr. Xia alone.

Jing Zhu also saw Hu Hanmin's letter.After she read it, her face was beating with enthusiasm, and she thought painfully: Xizi, Xizi, you got mixed up in the dirt, cut off the bond that connects our pure love, and became a betrayer of love. Serving the country, ignoring the common decision of the people, and becoming a sinner of the country, this is a big deal! But since Yang Du didn't go home, he didn't know that his family was worried about him.Even if he goes home, neither Jingzhu's persuasion nor his uncle's worries can make him turn his horse and turn the steering wheel. Fight against all opinions and move forward courageously, even if the difficulties in front of you are as big as mountains and the dangers are as deep as the sea, you have to trudge through them.Mr. Fengzhu is an old man in his eighties. It is understandable that the arrogance of aspiring to the world has diminished. Let him take care of his old age. The emperor's study sees me to pay him the reality! There are also people in the Suzheng Hall who don't understand. The previous chapter impeached the Preparatory Security Council.The chapter of impeachment was sent to the president, and Yuan Shikai personally criticized it, saying: "The Preparatory Committee is an academic organization with the purpose of studying the state system, so there is no need to interfere." After this instruction, even the most corrupt people know the background of the Preparatory Committee. Suddenly, in front of the office of the Preparatory Committee, someone yelled at the Six Gentlemen as politicians who violated the will of the people, profiteering and begging for power, and that the monarchy must never be restored.A posture of righteous indignation. As soon as Yang Du inquired, it turned out that this person was Li Xiehe's younger brother, who had recently come to Beijing from Hunan, lived for half a month and hadn't found a place to find food, so he took the opportunity to express his grievances by scolding Chiu'an.Yang Du said to Li Xiehe: "Let my younger brother come to the club to be a clerk, and to be Fang Biao's assistant. The monthly payment is one hundred and fifty yuan." Li's younger brother immediately stopped scolding and took office the same day, advocating the monarchy even more vigorously than Brother Nai. Yang Du saw through that most of the people who opposed the imperial system were actually out of jealousy, and they didn't want to see their achievements being taken away by others.On the contrary, he has strengthened his confidence in success. There are also many people who have insight into the current situation and are unwilling to let the Chiuan Society snatch all the credit.So Liang Shiyi joined forces with Zhang Zhenfang and others to set up the National Petition Federation, and Duan Zhigui joined forces with Long Jiguang, Tang Xiangming and other generals of the 14 provinces to present Yuan Shikai in secret, please act quickly. Liang Shiyi is the general manager of the Bank of Communications and has close ties with foreign financial circles.He has strong financial resources and many followers.Zhang Zhenfang is also very wealthy.They can provide a lot of money, and Yuan and his son naturally welcome their participation.Yuan Keding often attends their meetings and discusses strategies with them.Soon, the relationship between Mr. Yuan and the petition meeting was much closer than that of the preparation meeting. As for the secret telegrams sent by Duan Zhigui and other fourteen generals, Yuan Shikai regarded them as real power.Yuan Keding called them back, promising that they would be rewarded with great honors after the success of the monarchy. Yang Du, Sun Yuyun, etc. saw that they were powerful and aggressive with money and swords. They thought to themselves that if urgent and effective measures were not taken, others would really take away their achievements.Therefore, the Chou'an Association stepped up its efforts to develop members in the capital and various provinces.This strategy is very effective. In just half a month, a small meeting initiated by six directors has expanded into a large group with more than 10,000 members.It is no longer possible to conduct academic discussions according to normal procedures.The extremely clever Liu Shipei suggested that it is the easiest and quickest to vote.Yang Du thought this method was very good and adopted it immediately.As a result of the vote, all the members of the Preparatory Committee unanimously supported the speedy monarchy. The emergence of this situation made Yang Du very excited, so he personally drafted and submitted a petition to the Senate of the Acting Legislative Yuan, requesting that instead of convening the National Assembly, a public opinion organ with greater authority would be set up at a faster time to solve the problem of the state system.After the petition was published, within a few days, he published a second manifesto in the newspaper, again advocating the abolition of the republic and the rule of the monarchy as the only correct path for China today. In view of the simplicity and feasibility of the internal voting of the Preparatory Committee, he thought it would be better to have a national public opinion vote to solve this problem at once. Wouldn't it be better?But nationwide voting must be conducted under the leadership of provincial generals and civil affairs ministers. How can the Preparatory Committee handle this matter?The Chou'an Association is an academic organization, and there are no civil and military officials from the provinces of this power branch!This matter must have the support of Yuan Keding. Yang Du came to the Grand Prince's mansion.His family told him that the Eldest Young Master was investigating the geomantic omen of the imperial city with a stranger these days, and if he wanted to find him now, he had to go to the Zhengyangmen area. What kind of stranger is this, Yang Du also wants to see and see.
