Chapter 28 one night

Some people in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs are good at drinking. Under Zhang's influence, Taiming has been drinking a glass or two recently.After Zhang got close to Taiming, he took Taiming to various occasions, and the topics discussed there were all political. For example, according to Zhang, since the three northeastern provinces (Manchuria) were seized in China, the people feel the pressure has increased, that is, they must have a premonition that they will stand at the last moment.This trend has caused a wave of enthusiasm for learning Japanese.This situation cannot be regarded as a temporary phenomenon, so it is worrying for those who care about it.Among the students of the Japanese language school, some people even said frankly: "Anyway, China is heading towards the fate of extinction, so we must learn Japanese now for the sake of tomorrow's bread." Can you not cry when you hear such self-deprecating words? But everyone learns Japanese Not all because of this kind of mood. "There are many cultural translation works in Japan, and it is convenient to read some documents in the world by learning a Japanese language." Some people learn Japanese because of this. Some radicals are for the war And research. Zhang said that he was ambiguous, and he couldn't help sighing. Zhang said that if it is possible, it is best to solve all problems through diplomacy, and he does not want to have a war. However, if he suddenly encounters a sad historical fate, it is unknown whether manpower is irresistible. , he said vaguely at the end of the sentence. Taiming felt shuddering when he thought of the events before the Russo-Japanese War. In the thirty-fourth and five years of Meiji, the Japanese thought that the Russo-Japanese War was inevitable, and the Japanese people unanimously studied Russian. If the Japanese language fever is the status quo before the storm, it is a great misfortune in history, how can I just watch silently.

Zhang will be transferred to Japan suddenly, and Taiming is invited to attend his farewell party.This is an internal gathering where like-minded comrades gather.Taiming walked from Shuyuan Street to Keyuan according to the route Zhang had told him in advance.The destination is No. 12, Keyuan.The receptionist led him inside and then led him up to the second floor.On the second floor there is a large table and large stools lined up.There are four pots of beautiful flowers.There were four or five young diplomats, as well as students from the Shanghai Academy of Fine Arts.Taiming entered suddenly, but no one knew him, and he hesitated for a while, not knowing how to greet those present.Then one of the elders came out to greet Taiming and introduced Taiming to everyone.Zhang, the guest of honor, hadn't arrived yet, and two geisha standing next to him greeted Taiming with smiles on their faces.After a while, the horn of a car came from downstairs, and as soon as the engine stopped, he heard the sound of shoes going upstairs. It was a rose-colored silk handkerchief on his chest slightly protruding from his pocket, a new suit, and shiny leather shoes.Zhang went up to the second floor and shook hands with everyone one by one. All the guests congratulated him: "Congratulations!" He pushed him to sit next to Zhang. The seat was guaranteed, and Zhang stood up to give a speech of thanks.

After several rounds of drinking, one chatted about the wind and was interesting.However, the two gentlemen from the art school got into an argument because of their different views on fine arts. One of them was a French student and the other was a Japanese student.But the art teacher who studied in France finally came to an absurd conclusion in this intellectual debate emotionally. He pouted and said mockingly: "Anyway, China will become your world."It is impossible for French power to dominate China. ' When he uttered these words, not only the gentleman who was arguing with him was speechless, but the whole house was silent.Embarrassing silence.A good farewell party makes a cold one.The geisha cleverly sang "Tianshuiguan", so at any rate, the drinking spirit resumed.And the topic finally shifted to the matter of the guest of honor Zhang being sent to Japan.

Zhang was selected from many young diplomats and sent to Japan.From this point of view, everyone in Yiyi has great expectations for him, and Zhang himself is a little nervous because of his great sense of mission.His expression was filled with emotion like nervousness before a storm.When Zhang asked Taiming to express his opinion, Taiming said that he hoped that he would go all out to implement the strategy of pre-conceived and free from worries about the crisis in East Asia. Taiming said something like that. 'I see what you mean and look forward to doing this. ' said Zhang, holding Taiming's hand firmly.Zhang went to Japan with a heavy mission, Taiming sincerely hoped that he would do it?in the end.

That night, Taiming was unusually drunk, and couldn't remember how he got home, probably someone called a rickshaw to take him back.After Taiming returned home, at No. 12 of Keyuan, the excitement caused by the male political atmosphere still had an aftertaste. With the momentum, he said to Shuchun who came home earlier than him to greet him: "Tea !Pour tea! ' he ordered in an unusually rough tone.Shuchun obeyed unexpectedly, and looked up at Taiming as if frustrated: "Have you been drinking?" ' she said timidly.Taiming fixed his eyes on her with hazy drunken eyes, and felt that her red lips had a nakedness that he had never seen before.

'Hey!come here! ’ Taiming hugged her shoulders with a rough movement, and she was also submissive. 'Hey, you really are. ' She looked up at him with a wink instead.That night, Taiming forgot everything like a strong beast hungry for his wife's body.
