Chapter 4 third chapter

In fact, from the first time Ms. Hui saw Sheng Guangzhe, she recognized him as a new-style young man, or in other words, a "red chemical".This is not to say that Sheng Guangzhe's words and deeds leaked anything, it's just that Ms. Hui had seen a lot of the world in the capital, and she had an inexplicable intuition about the "red elements".Just one look, one tone of voice, and a subtle change in facial expression can make Miss Hui recognize them from the crowd. Perhaps at that time, in Ms. Hui's mind, "Redification" was a dangerous and fashionable term, unified into one feeling - "stimulation".They are like the chivalrous Lu Siniang whom Ms. Hui heard in storytelling when she was a child, and the French hero Marat described by the history teacher when she was studying. They are all willing to sacrifice their lives for the well-being of others. Miss Hui's blood is boiling.Therefore, Miss Hui began to pay close attention to Sheng Guangzhe.

It's a pity that Sheng Guangzhe still seldom set foot in the house under the pretext of being busy with work.Miss Hui didn't believe this at all. She knew better than any of the Sheng family how to handle errands in the yamen.So Ms. Hui began to deliberately approach Sheng Guangyun, lent her the new magazines she secretly brought, and talked about some sensitive political topics intentionally or unintentionally. Finally, Sheng Guangyun, who was originally wary, confirmed Ms. Hui's position and agreed to take her out. Visit Sheng Guangzhe's residence. After Sheng Guangzhe moved out of the Sheng family's mansion, he lived alone in "Qingyun Hall" on Zhuangyuan Street.It was originally a place where the Sheng family used to study behind closed doors for the children of the imperial examinations in the former Qing Dynasty. It was abandoned after the Republic of China, and it was not reorganized and lived in until Sheng Guangzhe returned from England.

When Ms. Hui followed Sheng Guangyun to Qingyun Hall, she saw two bicycles parked beside the two white stone horse-holding posts, obviously there were guests visiting.Miss Hui was hesitating whether to go in, but Sheng Guangyun smiled and said, "Since you're here, it's good to meet you too." Then he knocked on the door knocker. After a while, a young man in his twenties opened the door and saw Miss Hui beside Sheng Guangyun, he couldn't help hesitating.Sheng Guangyun pushed the half-open door open and scolded with a smile: "Si, why don't you trust me?" As she spoke, she pulled Miss Hui into the courtyard.

"Seventh Young Master and the others...they are busy..." Ah Si followed two steps, seeing that Sheng Guangyun ignored him, he could only run away, "I will report to Seventh Young Master first." Seeing Ah Si's sneaky appearance, Miss Hui felt even more puzzled, but her eyes could only focus on looking at everything in Qingyun Hall.It is nothing more than the consistent architectural style of Lincheng, the two courtyards with bluestone floors, the doors and windows carved with mahogany under the slanted eaves of black tiles, and the flower beds are full of big jasmine, which is the easiest to survive. It can be seen that the owner here has no care for flowers and plants. Not interested.

Stretching out her index finger to her lips, Sheng Guangyun dragged Miss Hui up the three white stone steps tiptoely.She was bending down to peek through the crack of the door, when the door was suddenly pulled open, which startled Sheng Guangyun. "Hello, King Misi." Sheng Guangzhe blocked the door, although he didn't hide his surprise, he greeted Miss Hui calmly first.Miss Hui even caught a trace of guard in that astonishment, but she just smiled lightly and didn't point it out. Seeing that Sheng Guangzhe ignored her, Sheng Guangyun said angrily, "Seventh Brother, didn't you allow me to come?"

"I don't allow you to make trouble." Sheng Guangzhe saw Bamei staring viciously at Ah Si who was stunned by the side, and his tone became more severe, "What are you staring at Ah Si?" "You're annoying yourself, don't take it out on me." Sheng Guangyun couldn't help laughing when she saw that Sheng Guangzhe's hair on his forehead was stained with sweat, the apron he was wearing was covered with engine oil, and his originally slender and white fingers were also black. Said, "I see, the machine is broken again, you half-baked mechanic is out of luck."

"Even if I'm half-baked, I'm unique in this ghostly place like Lincheng." Sheng Guangzhe sighed, and seeing Miss Hui's flexible and bright eyes looking at his embarrassment with a smile, he couldn't help but also laughed, "Come in, everyone. " This room is the main room of the entire Qingyun Hall. It is spacious and bright, but there are seven or eight desks densely packed with manuscripts and bundles of papers.There were three or four other men and women sitting behind the desk, and when they saw Miss Hui, they all showed surprise.On the contrary, Sheng Guangzhe introduced them calmly, saying that those men and women are his colleagues.

"Brother Seven, you are busy with your work, don't worry about us." Seeing Sheng Guangzhe standing behind her and Miss Hui, Sheng Guangyun pushed him a little dissatisfied. Sheng Guangzhe glared at his sister, pulled a piece of waste paper to wipe the ink on his hands, and didn't respond.On the contrary, Ms. Hui noticed that there was no machinery in the house, and she didn't know what exactly Sheng Guangzhe went to repair it just now.After looking around for a while, Miss Hui suddenly asked, "Are you running a newspaper?" "How did you find out?" Sheng Guangyun asked curiously.

"My classmate's father is the editor-in-chief of Beijing "Beijing News". I have been to their newspaper office, just like this." Ms. Hui replied. "Do you know Mr. Shao Piaoping?" A young man wearing glasses saw Ms. Hui nodding and stood up excitedly, "The "Beijing News" hosted by Mr. Shao is a role model for our "Zili Evening News". .” "That's right, even General Feng Yuxiang said, 'A single pen from Piaoping can win a hundred thousand troops'. Shao Shibo's writing is so sharp that every warlord is afraid of him." Miss Hui replied excitedly.

"Guangyun..." Sheng Guangzhe saw that Ms. Hui and her colleagues were chatting excitedly, frowned, pulled Bamei aside, and asked something in a low voice. "Ah Hui's thinking is more advanced than ours. I brought her here to help Seventh Brother." Sheng Guangyun answered loudly on purpose so that everyone in the room could hear clearly. "Last time I lost a book and caused me a lot of trouble, what is this time?" Sheng Guangzhe reprimanded in a low voice, seeing that Miss Hui was already leaning on the table to read the newspaper samples edited by her colleagues, her beautiful side was full of youthfulness Enthusiasm, the corners of his tight lips gradually relaxed, and a smile appeared in his eyes, "Even if you want to help, wait until I fix this old printing machine." He walked to the wooden wall at the back of the house, Bending down and twitching at the foot of the wall, the wooden wall was pushed away from the side, revealing a secret room hidden behind the wall.

Sheng Guangyun patted Ms. Hui's shoulder mysteriously, leading her and Sheng Guangzhe in, and suddenly saw a dismantled letterpress printing machine in the middle of the room, standing quietly under the dim light above her head. It is Qingyuntang's biggest secret.The conscientious parents of the Sheng family would not know that their son, who works as a errand in the yamen and eats the emperor's food, has turned his residence into a hidden newspaper office, writing and printing words that they cannot understand but are instinctively afraid of. At this moment, Sheng Guangzhe, editor-in-chief and mechanic of Zili Evening News, was carefully flipping through the English manual of the printing machine, but he still couldn't figure it out.Miss Hui looked aside for a while, and saw Sheng Guangzhe squatting in front of the machine, beads of sweat dripping from his forehead on the ground. It was quite different from the image of the scholar he saw in the Sheng family mansion that day, but it seemed more real and cute.Although the Republic of China banned newspapers and non-governmental newspapers bloomed everywhere, it must take too much effort and courage to publish political opinions like the "Beijing News" hosted by Shao Piaoping, which arouses people's hearts. "Brother Seven, would you like some water?" Seeing that Sheng Guangzhe was sweating profusely, but the old-fashioned printing machine he did not know where was still refused to move, Sheng Guangyun couldn't help feeling a little distressed. "Okay." Sheng Guangzhe sat down on the ground, took a few sips of his sister's hand, and said sullenly, "If we can't fix it, I'm afraid we will have to stop publishing." "Do you want to find a mechanic?" Ms. Hui said here, seeing Sheng Guangzhe curled her lips slightly, she naturally meant that there is no such talent in the closed Lincheng, she smiled and said, "If I can find the phone, I will ask my classmates to invite The mechanic from Beijing's "Beijing News" came over, anyway, the train round trip is not too far away." "Really?" Sheng Guangzhe's eyes lit up, and he got up from the ground, "I know where the phone is."
