Chapter 38 37

The big red bag became the boss of all the prostitutes in the city.Gao Yituo is her most powerful "eunuch".Mr. Gao was originally a herbal medicine seller, and somehow he went to Japan. After returning from Japan, he was listed as a doctor.He is very careful to keep the secret of his origin, but when he meets a patient, he has not forgotten the nonsense when selling herbs; his words are much wiser than his way.In addition to his mouth, he relies on his "outfit" to be distinctive. He always wears overly beautiful clothes and shoes when he goes out, because he shows off his "image"; in the world, "image" is very important. .

An ancient culture is inherently complicated, and with the addition of some new foreign cultures, it becomes even more complicated and inexplicably complicated. Therefore, the road of life is like many trails that emerge after heavy rain, and any trail leads to the place where people eat. premises.In our old culture, we have a lot of experience in healing diseases, and those who retain and practice these experiences can be regarded as doctors.When scientific medical skills came from the West, we learned to use aspirin instead of panacea, and to replace chilblain ointment with Du'an's ointment; Chinese people like to keep ancient prescriptions but are not willing to refuse new ones easily son of a bitch.Therefore, to practice medicine at this time, it is best to use both Chinese and Western medicines, old medicines and new prescriptions, just like eating Chinese and Western dishes, plus calling Tiaozi and guessing fists loudly.Mr. Gao Yituo is a representative of this kind of new or old, neither new nor old, in the three-way zone at the junction of cultures, looking for food.

Unfortunately, his business is not doing very well.It is inconvenient for him to examine his own ability and knowledge, because if he does so, he will completely lose his self-confidence, and he will inevitably take off the plaque of "learning both Chinese and Western".He can only blame his own bad luck, and at the same time despise other doctors because of jealousy; he will criticize Western medicine for not understanding Chinese medicine, Chinese medicine for not understanding science, and they are all quack doctors who kill people. Da Chibao asked him to help, and he couldn't help but be grateful for the kindness of knowing him.If his medical knowledge of both Chinese and Western medicine makes him feel that he has grasped the needs of the times, then it would be a perfect opportunity to be the secretary of the Prostitute Inspection Office.He can speak a few words of Japanese in front of him, he knows how to cater to the Japanese, his clothes are enough to "bluff" prostitutes, and he has a mouth that is good at eloquence.From all perspectives, he felt that he was competent and able to show his talents.He was originally addicted to smoking, but because his income was not very good, it was inconvenient for him to smoke regularly every day.Now, he saw that his regular income, though not very large, would, and should, benefit from trying to extract money from prostitutes for big money.So, he immediately decided to take two puffs of cigarettes every day. Firstly, the Japanese like Chinese addicts, and secondly, because they often hang out with prostitutes.

For the big red bag, on the surface, he flattered him in every possible way.He almost "grew" in Guan's house.Everyone played cards, and he would never join in unless he had enough hands.He played cards well, but he knew the maxim of "drinking too much, gambling too little", and it was not convenient for him to end every day.When not on stage, he always stands behind the big red bag, occasionally offering an idea for her reference.He poured her tea, lit a cigarette, took some snacks, and sometimes gently combed her loose hair.His appearance, demeanor, posture, and movements are all like "strip pieces" who accompany Master Kuo to hang out, help eat and drink.Da Chibao trusts him completely, because he takes care of her very comfortably.Whenever Da Chibao got on or got off the car, he always went to help him.Whenever she wants to "create" a hairstyle or clothing pattern, he always offers some advice from the side.Never had her husband been so courteous to her.He is Li Lianying of the Queen Mother of the West.However, in his heart, he had other plans.He had to stabilize the big red bag and gain her complete trust in order to get some money first.When his hands are full, he should go directly to campaign the Japanese and push down the big red bag, or better yet, get the Health Bureau into his hands.If he really became the director of the health bureau, hmph, the big red bag would have to stand behind him, waiting for him to play cards.

To Guan Xiaohe, he only looked at her husband, who became the director, and ignored him.He is very practical, since Guan Xiaohe is still unemployed, he doesn't need to be extra polite.For the people who often come to Guan's house, like Li Kongshan, Lan Dongyang, Ruifeng and his wife, he tried his best to curry favor with him, calling the director and section chief loudly, and willing to let everyone know that he intentionally curry favor with them.He thought that everyone would promote him only if he was seen to be pitiful by everyone; when he and their status or money could be shoulder-to-shoulder brothers, he would show his pomp and arrogance.His grandeur and arrogance are stored in his heart!After calling the director and section chief loudly, he would call out "Mr.

Guan Xiaohe and Dongyang, Ruifeng paid homage to Meng brothers.Although he underreported by five years, he is still the "big brother".He envied Dongyang and Ruifeng's official career, and at the same time envied their youth and promise.When they first became sworn brothers, he was very happy to be their big brother.By the turn of the new year, he still couldn't get an official position, and he began to feel a little threatened.Although he still pulls out one of his gray hairs every now and then, he feels that he may be really old and useless; otherwise, with his ability, experience, and demeanor, how could he not be able to do that smelly and ugly blue hair? What about Dongyang, and the idiot Qi Ruifeng?He was secretly anxious.Gao Yituo stimulated him even more, that cold "Sir" was like a ruthless dagger, piercing his heart!He wanted to retaliate with one or two witty words that would make Gao Yituo tremble, but it was inconvenient to offend his wife for a while; Gao Yituo was his wife's favorite.He had no choice but to endure it, although his heart was boiling like boiling water, but there was no trace on his face.He wants to prove that he is a man of integrity.He must be especially affectionate to his wife, so that when she is happy, he can say a few bad words to Gao Yituo and make his wife alienate him.Anyway, she is his wife, even though Gao Yituo lives here all day long, it doesn't prevent him from talking with his wife by the pillow.For this reason, he no longer goes to sleep in Tongfang's room.

No matter how the big red bag looks like a man, it is a woman after all. Women need a man's love, even the Queen Mother is probably no exception.She not only saw Gao Yituo's ability to handle affairs, but also felt his hospitality.Based on her age and aspirations, she no longer wants to be the erotic dream of eighteen or nineteen-year-old girls.However, her usual well-dressed appearance does not seem to be accidental.Her beloved red is probably to remedy the gloom in her heart.She knew from many years ago that her husband did not really love her.Now, she often associates with prostitutes again. She is satisfied with her authority, but she also envies their looseness.She has no time to put herself in their shoes and think about their pain; she only cares about her own existence and never thinks about others.She just felt that they brought her something like a spring breeze, which made her long to release a delicious flower from her heart.She didn't think highly of Gao Yituo, but Gao Yituo's hospitality was hospitality after all.Think about it, in the past twenty or thirty years, who has given her a little attention?She has never been young.No matter how well she dressed, people always seemed to think she looked like a big bear, even though she was a beautiful big bear.She knew that the eyes of the guests were either on Gaodi and Zhaodi, or on Tongfang, and no one looked at her.If they looked at her, she would have to prepare tea or meals for them. In their eyes, she was just a housewife, and a housewife who didn't look like a woman!

When she was working as director in the first year of junior high school, she really felt happy, and wanted to show her utmost tolerance and tolerate everyone, even Tong Fang.The feeling of rushing to the director has lost its freshness, and she began to want to use something to enrich herself so that she can still be as proud as when she first took office.The first thing she thought of was Tong Fang.That's right, as a woman, she can do her best, and she has to admit that she is a hero among women.But, it's not all there yet.Her husband wasn't quite hers.She should have settled that, too, at once.On weekdays, her husband tends to favor Tong Fang; today she is the director, and she must use the power of the director to oppress her husband and pull out that thorn in his side.

When Xiaohe rushed to express her closeness to Gao Yituo because she resisted Gao Yituo, she didn't think of his original intention; what she did was beyond criticism.She thought he had understood her intentions, and wanted to recognize the happiness of the monarch and his subjects, and restore the love between husband and wife; she began to attack Tongfang. The attack on Tong Fang this time is quite different from the previous ones.Once upon a time, her weapons were nothing but shouting and shouting.Tong Fang also has such a weapon, and it may be a little sharper than hers.Now, she is the director, and she can command the fish soldiers and shrimp generals in the kiln to fight.Only those with power can be vicious, and viciousness is prestige.She originally wanted to drive Tong Fang out of the house and let it go, but as she became more and more ruthless, she decided to drive Tong Fang to the kiln.Once Tongfang gets there, Da Chibao will assign fish soldiers and shrimp generals to watch over her and teach her to stay there forever.Knocking down the enemy casually is not as enjoyable as using the enemy in the place designated by her according to the plan; she saw that the Yaozi was the best prison for Tongfang.

Da Chibao didn't go to the office very often, because once she just arrived at the door of the Prostitute Inspection Office, two or three boys aged fifteen or sixteen called her a madam loudly.She chased after them to beat them, but they ran very fast, and made up the old lady several times as they ran.She would like to change the sign outside the door, and change "prostitute" to a more polite word.However, the name of the agency cannot be changed casually.She had no choice but to maintain her dignity infrequently.Gao Yituo took all the official documents home for her to have a look at; as for regular affairs, she could safely let the staff handle them on her behalf, because all the staff were replaced by people from her natal family; they were her relatives I have always known how powerful she is, and now that I am her subordinate, I dare not serve her well.

Deciding to work at home, she ordered Tongfang to move to the cottage where Ruifeng used to live, and changed Tongfang's room to the third living room.The living room in the north house is No. 1, and Gaudí's bedroom is No. 2.All distinguished guests and first-class prostitutes are received by herself in the No. 1 living room.In this way, the Guan family has a lot of distinguished guests every day, because the distinguished guests have a tea circle by the way.The second living room is reserved for mid-level relatives and friends, and second-class prostitutes, and Gaudi will entertain them on behalf of them.Poor relatives and friends and third-class prostitutes all went to the third living room, and Tong Fang arranged for tea and so on.In parlors 1 and 2, there are always card tables.Mahjong, poker, betting, and Pai Gow are all at the discretion of the guests; there is no limit to the time of playing and the size of the bet.No matter what you play, always tap your head.The boss smokes a lot, because noble cigarettes cost about a dozen cartridges, and guests can reach for cigarettes in every corner of the house; Just make it. There are four or five tables for "light meals" every day. Although there are many guests, the wine and meals still maintain the standard of Guan's family.Hot towels are delivered by the beautiful little mother every three to five minutes; the towels are all sterilized - this is Gao Yituo's suggestion. Only the special number of guests can go to the bedroom of the big red bag.There is black tea, brandy, and Fortress cigarettes from the British government.There is also a very fine opium set for a price. The big red bun has become even more blessed recently, and even the freckles on his face are shining brightly, as if he has been smeared with butter from the British government.The rings on her fingers were all covered with meat, so her fingers looked like freshly stuffed sausages.As her muscles fattened, so did her grandeur.Every day, she would carefully apply powder and lipstick, then put on her beloved red vest or robe, and sit in the main room to work and meet guests.Her eyes and ears control the entire courtyard, and her coughing and yawning are both signals—if the guests in living rooms No. 2 and No. 3 make too much noise, she will cough once or twice like a cannon, Teach them to be silent; if she gets tired she lets out a yawn like an air-raid siren and teaches guests to bow and leave. Tired of sitting in the main room, she went to each room to review like the captain of a battleship, and the second and third-class guests got the opportunity to report their visits to her.If she nods, it means "OK"; if she frowns, it means "Maybe"; if she doesn't express anything, it means "No".If there are customers who don't know what they want to ask for, she will scold You Tongfang. After lunch, she will take a nap.As soon as the curtain of her bedroom was lowered, everyone in the courtyard immediately closed their breath and walked on tiptoe.If there are special guests, she can sacrifice her nap, and her spirit is not necessarily tired.She's a born politician. When the weather is fine, she will either take Zhaodi or Mrs. Ruifeng, and occasionally take one or two of her favorite "girls" to Zhongshan Park or Beihai for a walk, and show off her hairstyle and The new look of the clothes - there are many families of the "upstarts" waiting for her, so as to imitate her hair and clothes.In this respect, her creativity is astonishing: the two most notable sources of her inspiration are prostitutes and a picture fair in a park.A prostitute has to be well-groomed.However, historically, before the Republic of China, most of the famous prostitutes came from Shanghai and Suzhou. They brought new styles of clothing to Peiping, and the women in Peiping secretly imitated them out of envy.After the Republic of China, the status of prostitutes increased a little, and women's education gradually developed, so women had a little freedom in what kind of hair they wore and what kind of clothes they made, and they also showed creativity in this.In this way, the vulgarity of the prostitutes is overwhelmed by the elegance of the women.In this respect, the prostitutes lost their leadership.The big red bag has eyes. From the face, head, body, and feet of her "goddaughter", she saw the style and style of the previous few years, and added some speculation.Unexpectedly, she returned to the hairstyle that was popular in previous years, and matched it with the latest styles of clothing.She is very bold, forcibly making disharmony into harmony.If she is unlucky and not attuned anyway, she will oppress people's eyes with her grandeur, and admit that she dares to pretend to be astonishing, like the Great Wall of China, although it is not beautiful, it is thrilling.When she was dressed like this, she would probably take Zhaodi for a stroll.Zhaodi is a complete modern girl, and she refuses to imitate her mother's surprising success.As a result, one old and one young, one normal and one strange, the mother is even more peculiar, while the daughter is ordinary.When she wasn't so eccentric, she would rather teach Mrs. Ruifeng to stay with her than recruit younger brothers, because her daughter's youthful beauty naturally posed a lot of threats to her. Whenever there is an art exhibition in the park, she must go in and take a look.She doesn't like landscapes, flowers and feathers, but only looks at beauties in ancient costumes.Whenever she meets a beauty she likes, she will definitely buy one.She is willing to teach the three characters "Director Guan" to appear in front of everyone for a long time, so when the painting season is scheduled, she will ask to write these three characters on a particularly long red paper strip, and the characters should also be particularly large.After the painting is settled, when it's time for "pickup", she doesn't discuss with the artist, but gives her a 20% discount.She felt that if she did not do this, she would not be able to show the prestige of the director, as if the director of the Prostitute Inspection Office was also the boss of the painters.After taking the painting home, she ordered Xiaohe to unfold it for her when there was no one in the dead of night, and she watched it in detail.She has to carefully observe how the beauties in ancient costumes match the color of the edges of their clothes, how to comb their hair, how to dot "flowers" on their foreheads or between their eyebrows, and what kind of fans they hold.After seeing it two or three times, she invented clothes with wide sleeves and wide brims, or she had long buns like the Tang Dynasty's long hair, or "flowers" were lit between the eyebrows, or she held a round fan made of silk.Every invention of hers immediately became a fad. If recruiting students only obtain decorative models from movies, the big red bag is to review the old and learn the new, to discover from the old and standard culture, and then remake it.She didn't know what beauty was, but her culture was too far and too deep for her not to use its colors and forms.If culture is a stream, she is the foam of the stream, and the foam will show its beauty when it meets a very suitable place.She doesn't know what culture is, just like a fish doesn't know how water is compounded.But if a fish can float, she can also play tricks on culture. In her heart, she only knows to be in the limelight and live comfortably.In fact, she showed the mental state of some Peking people under Japanese rule.This part of the people surrendered to the Japanese.After surrendering, they were ashamed to repent, and they were always a little uneasy in their hearts, so they had no choice but to fool around, where and when.In this way, material enjoyment and sensual indulgence have become the only way for them to vent their emotions.If "integrity" frightens them, they will kill themselves by enjoying and indulging themselves, and become romantic ghosts.They smoked opium, drank medicinal wine, played actors, and played with women; they also paid attention to clothing.In this kind of psychology, the big red bag has become a model for their women.The success of the big red bag is that she encountered the mentality of the traitors by mistake.For her, she has never even thought about whether the country will be subjugated or not.She only thinks that she is talented, lucky, and capable, and she should enjoy it and set an example for everyone.She gave everyone something to do, opportunities and inspirations to show off.She despised the women who imitated her because they lacked creative intelligence.Besides, they can only imitate her hair, clothes, and round fan, but they cannot imitate her as a director.She's the heroine who seizes the moment to get promoted and make her own fortune, instead of asking men for lipstick and diamonds with her back on her back.Standing in the park or in the house, she felt that every toe of hers was rattling! In her drawing room, she liked to talk about everything except state affairs.The fall of Nanjing and the establishment of Wuhan as the capital have convinced her that she can do her business with peace of mind.She didn't think much about the Japanese, she felt that the occupation of Beiping by the Japanese really opened up a world for her.She thought that without her, the Japanese army stationed in Peiping would not have been able to obtain the flower girl, and would not have been able to prevent the spread of the disease, and the Lian Guan family would not have enjoyed all the enjoyment of her natal family.She felt that she was more important than the Japanese.Her relationship with the Japanese, she thought, was not between a master and a servant, but a hero meeting a hero and complementing each other.Therefore, as long as there is a rally in the whole city of Peiping, she must attend, and when there is a need for championships and prizes, she must send one.In this way, she felt that she was on a parallel level with the Japanese, regardless of their superiority or inferiority. When it came time for her to entertain the Japanese, she also tried her best to bring out good things, making the Japanese breathless.She wants to use the essence of Peking culture to teach the Japanese to recognize her greatness.She is not a traitor, not a subjugated slave, but a mentor of the Japanese in eating, drinking, dressing and so on.The Japanese, just like those prostitutes, are her treasures, and she must give them good food, drink and entertainment.She's the queen of Peking, and they're just country kids. If Da Chibao felt as happy as taking a Shunqi pill, Guan Xiaohe's chest would always feel stuffy.He thought that if the Japanese entered Peiping, he would definitely have a good luck.However, he got nothing.He ran harder than anyone else, and his grades were worse than anyone else.He is impatient, he is not fair.Instead of helping him, his past experience and qualifications seem to be a hindrance.Whether it is high or low, he is in vain.He almost lost his self-confidence, and suspected that he could no longer control the environment and the times.He doesn't know that he is the dregs of the times, but thinks that he is the person who can adapt to the situation and seize the opportunity.Looking in the mirror, he asked himself: "What shortcoming do you have? Why did you fall behind others?" He didn't understand. He felt that the Japanese must have made a mistake in capturing Beiping. Otherwise, how could they have done nothing like him? Woolen cloth?For the big red bag to get the position, at first he really felt happy from the bottom of his heart.He thought that even a woman could be an official, let alone himself.However, the official position always fell on his head, and his wife's arrogance was getting higher and higher day by day, so he couldn't stand it anymore.He had to admit the fact that it was true that his wife was an official, and any official must have the air of an official, and his wife was no exception.He had no choice but to swallow his anger and endure.He knew that his wife was already not easy to offend, let alone a wife with an official position.It's inconvenient for him to say anything to her in a boring way.On the contrary, he should especially please his wife and show his loyalty and cooperation to her.Therefore, he clearly loves Tong Fang in his heart, but he can't help but be indifferent to her.If he still dotes on Tong Fang as before, he knows that it will definitely arouse the resentment of the big red bag, and he may be frustrated.He cruelly sacrificed Tong Fang, hoping to restore the old order of life after he got the official position.He heard that his wife had a poisonous plan to send Tong Fang to the brothel, so he didn't dare to oppose it openly; he must not offend his wife, because a wife represents a kind of good luck and power.An egg is inconvenient to touch a stone; he is very proud, but fortune forces him to think of an egg. He is still not discouraged.He drilled forward whenever he saw an opportunity; fortune could let him down, but he couldn't let himself down.When he is out of the camp, he also pays attention to some small things and shows his intelligence.It was his idea to rent the Qian family's house.This idea won my wife's praise.It is indeed a clever plan to rent the house and sublease it to the Japanese.Ever since he betrayed Mr. Qian, he knew that everyone in the alley was somewhat disrespectful to him.He didn't want to admit that he had done something wrong, and thought that everyone's disrespect towards him was purely due to his lack of power to suppress one side.When the big red bag got the director, he thought that everyone must curry favor with him.But they were still very indifferent, not even a congratulatory congratulations.Now, he will be the second landlord, and the Japanese, even the Japanese, will be rented by him!Although the second landlord is not an official title, but the tenant is Japanese, this is not a small prestige.He has already admonished Inspector Bai with a straight face: "I said, Inspector Bai," his eyelids blinked smartly, "You know that the house on No. 1 belongs to me, and Japanese people will come to live in it soon. Our alley The inside is very dirty, you know the Japanese like to be clean. You have to think of a way!" Inspector Bai hated Guan Xiaohe very much, but his inconvenience showed on his face, and he said with a smile: "Mr. Guan, there are many poor friends in the alley, and they can't afford the cleaning fee!" "That's your business, I can't help it." Control!" Mr. Guan said with a sharp face. "You try to do it, to please the Japanese! You don't care, the Japanese will report it directly, I don't think it will do you any good! In my opinion, you'd better advise everyone to take some money and hire someone to clean up more! Everyone pays, and you have done something, isn't it good?" He didn't wait for Inspector Bai to reply, and walked in, quite proud of himself.Some Japanese rented his house, so he took Inspector Bai, that is, the man in Quan Hutong. Guan Xiaohe always wanted to engrave, embroider, or write his name on the silver cups, championships, or other prizes given by the big red bag.The big red bag is not allowed: "You don't want to be like this!" She said bluntly. "What's the matter with writing you? Do you have to indicate that you are my husband?" Xiaohe felt very uncomfortable, but he still tried his best to think of what words to write for her.His knowledge is very limited; only in this way can he look like he is racking his brains and thinking for her.He first declared: "I am loyal, and I must not be careless in everything!" Then, he frowned, lit a cigarette, grinded the ink, put away the paper, and wrote "Writing Letters Without Asking for Help" and "Spring Festival Couplets" The booklets of the class were piled up in front of him as a reference book, and he also asked the recruits not to make noise, so he began to think.He pretended to cough, drank tea, closed his eyes, and walked back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back.After making such a fuss for a long time, he finally wrote a few words.After writing, he let go of his brisk steps, holding the paper as if holding an imperial decree, and went to show the big red bag.She squinted her eyes majesticly, maybe she saw the words, maybe she didn't see them at all, so she nodded slightly: "Okay!" In fact, she probably didn't see what was written.In her mind, as long as the cup or shield is silver, and the flag is satin, any kind of writing will be fine.In order to show that she is knowledgeable, Xiaohe herself criticized with a smile: "This is not very good, let me think about it!" When Lan Dongyang was here, Xiaohe must have a discussion with him.Lan Dongyang can only compose poems and short essays, but he doesn't know anything about composing couplets and inscriptions.But it was inconvenient for him to say so, but he had to chew his black and yellow nails with his yellow teeth for a long time, pretending to use his brain.In the end, Xiaohe still won, because Dongyang's nails had been bitten to the point where he could no longer gnaw, and he always said: "I must not use my brain when it is very quiet at night! Forget it, just use it!" In Dongyang, Xiaohe began to feel that she was indeed knowledgeable, which added to her sense of being unappreciated—a kind of sadness that she could be proud of. A person who is underappreciated especially loves to show his talent.Xiaohe, in order to show her talent, made a roster for Da Chibao.The "A" part of the roster is all Japanese, the "B" part is a high-ranking official of the puppet organization, the "C" part has no real power but has a high reputation, and is hired by the Japanese as a counselor or something like a "veteran", "D "Ministry is a person with authority in the local area.He called this list Sibuquanshu, as if it could be regarded as a sister work of Sikuquanshu.For each name, he made a detailed note: age, address, birthday, and hobbies.As long as it is on the list, he thinks it is his friend and tries to give gifts.Giving gifts, in his view, is the special magic weapon to conquer all people.In order to give gifts, he had a bet with Ruifeng; Ruifeng lost.Ruifeng thinks that Xiaohe's method is generally good, but he doubts whether the Japanese will accept Xiaohe's gift.He heard from friends who worked as spies for the Japanese: After the fall of Nanking, the Japanese military officers had been instructed that they should encourage the Chinese to smoke opium, but under no circumstances should they themselves stay in places that smelt of opium. places, so as not to be tempted by the smell of opium; they are not allowed to accept gifts from the Chinese.After Ruifeng reported this warning news, Xiaohe closed her eyes, and then smiled. "Ruifeng! You are too naive! Let me tell you, I have seen Japanese smoke opium with my own eyes! Orders are orders, and orders cannot change the beauty of opium! As for gifts, let's make a bet right away!" He opened his four books . "You appoint a Japanese at random. Today is neither his birthday nor a Chinese or Japanese holiday. I will send a gift right away to see if he accepts it. If he accepts it, you will lose a table of wine and food. What? ?" Ruifeng nodded.He knew he was going to lose, but it was inconvenient to show that he was afraid of losing a banquet. Xiaohe sent someone to deliver the gift, but the person came back empty-handed and accepted the gift. "How?" Xiaohe asked Ruifeng proudly. "I lost!" Ruifeng felt sorry for the banquet, but as the chief of the section, the inconvenience was ignored. "Bet me on this kind of thing! You always lose!" Xiaohe said with a smile.Not only is he proud of winning a banquet, but he is even more proud that the Japanese accepted his gift. "I tell you, as long as you give gifts, you will almost never meet a person who shakes his head! As long as he doesn't shake his head, he - no matter how proud he is - stands shoulder to shoulder with you and me! Tell you Well, all my life, I love to punish those people who raise their eyebrows and think they are high. How to punish, give him gifts. Gifts will stop everyone’s mouth and soften everyone’s heart. The Japanese are also people; My gift; after accepting my gift, he will lose all prestige! Do you believe it or not?" Ruifeng only nodded, but couldn't say anything.Ever since he became the section chief, he looked down on Big Brother Guan a little bit.But Brother Guan's words really made him admire, and he couldn't help but restore his previous respect for Mr. Guan.Although Mr. Guan has been demoted to a lower level now and has become Big Brother Guan, he really has "knowledge" after all!He thought that if he himself practiced Brother Guan's theory, there would probably be a day when he would give a gift to the Emperor of Japan, and the Emperor would have to pat him on the shoulder and call him brother. Because of studying gift giving, Xiaohe discovered that the Japanese are very superstitious.Not only did he see Japanese soldiers with talismans and Buddha statues on their bodies, but he also heard that the Japanese not only believe in gods and Buddhas, but also all taboos in the world.The Japanese also taboo Westerners' Friday, Thirteenth, and lighting three cigarettes with one match.They are aggressive, so they have to ask for blessings in many ways.They even hate all prophecies against them.Wells of England predicted the war between China and Japan, and said that the Japanese were wiped out by the plague when they reached the lake and marshes.The Japanese's "theory of subjugation of China in March" has already fallen from the fall of Nanjing without surrender, and the great victory of Taierzhuang has become a dream.They remembered Wells' prophecy, and feared the contagion would drag them to their grave.So they would slaughter whole villages if cholera or scarlet fever were found there.Their samurai spirit made them not afraid of death, but knowing that they were bound to die, they couldn't help themselves.They are afraid of prophecy, even of saying "death".According to this principle, Xiaohe always gave three kinds of gifts to the Japanese.He avoids "four" because "four" is similar to the sound of death.This discovery made him famous in Nine Cities. Not only were there records in various newspapers, but there were also short reviews praising his intelligence. These small successes did not completely relieve the pain in his heart.He is already a celebrity in Peking, the Oriental Painting Art Research Association, the Great East Asian Literature and Art Writers Association (this was founded by Lan Dongyang), the Sanqinghui (this is a new Taoist organization, and many Japanese participate); and Many other groups invited him to join the association and was elected as a director or secretary.He has to go to meetings almost every day, and in the meetings he has to say a few words, or sing a couple of verses, when there are entertainment shows.However, he can't be an official!His business card is full of directors, directors and other titles, but none of them have weight.He couldn't pass up his business card to new friends, and those unpaid titles just got people rolling their eyes!When he went to the Sanqing Society or the Shanxin Society to see Fusha or worship the gods, he always secretly complained to the ghosts and gods: "I dare not tell lies about the gods! When it comes to eating, drinking, and dressing, there is a wife." The director is almost the same. However, based on my experience and talents, it is not a big deal to have nothing to do! If I am not for money, can I not be for status? I am still a trivial matter, and you are gods. The Buddha must be fair; I can't get an official position, isn't it also a shame for you?" With his eyes closed, he pleaded half pleadingly and half sarcastically, feeling a little better in his heart.But after the complaint was over, it was still useless, and he almost hated those gods and Buddhas.Gods and Buddhas, however, must not be offended; offending gods and Buddhas may cause some disasters!He could only sigh softly.After sighing, he had to chat and laugh with his friends.Sometimes his chest hurts in nests!With a pain in his chest, he couldn't help cursing in a low voice: "Bai died in Huizi Kingdom, and he can't even be a fucking official, evil!"
