Read ancient scriptures in the morning. In the afternoon, I will travel to Daluotian, no matter what.Or visit Luozi Hall.This is Yan Shaobo, the young master of Yan Naibo Councilor's class schedule. Yan Naibo is shrewd and capable, needless to say, it can be seen from this schedule. Councilor Yan Naibo's young master is very handsome, but very thin.Although he practiced solo games and gymnastics three times a week on the brick floor in the yard.Although he travels to Daluotian Amusement Park once a week.Councilor Yan Naibo was a little dissatisfied that his young master was so thin!

In addition to teaching in Yan's family, Zhao Ziyue traveled around day and night to socialize.Politicians, military officers, lawyers, parliamentarians, hooligans, and local sticks meet every day in the golden houses of the Japanese Concession.Everyone praises him as a useful person, everyone allows him to introduce important things, everyone likes his golden mouth Egyptian cigarettes, everyone likes to drink his beauty brand red wine, everyone talks with "Damn!" There are aunts and wives in every family.This situation reminded him of how ridiculous and shameful he was when he was in Beijing, flipping through the handouts with his left hand and touching the whiteboard with his right.This kind of intimacy and extravagance of friends is beyond the dreams of those alumni in Beijing.

What's even more gratifying is that Yan Naibo actually changed "Old Master" to "Lao Zhao" after teaching in Yan's family for only one week, and one night after dinner and dinner, Yan Naibo actually patted him on the shoulder and called "Boy Zhao!" Secretly amazed at his communication skills, in such a short period of time, Yan Naibo, a councilor, called him Lao Zhao, and even called him Boy Zhao more affectionately! He got the news of the disbandment of Mingzheng University from the newspaper, and he put down the newspaper with a slight smile. This news is as unremarkable as that newspaper.Now he calls "Yan Nailao", "Zhang Houweng" and "Sun Tianlao" fluently; what "Ouyang", "Old Mo", and even "Ms. Wang" are already the same as the "Ms. Wang" he read when he was young. The Great University and The Doctrine of the Mean are similarly jerky.Now he uses words such as "politics", "movement", and "status" very familiarly, and sometimes he uses "extreme party", "fighting for the chairman", "demonstration" and other meaningless words that have become dead words. .Although Ms. Wang's shadow sometimes twirled vaguely in his mind, the weeds and flowers in front of his eyes were much more effective in emergency than Ms. Wang's "can be viewed from a distance but not up close".

Yan Shaobo hadn't learned the twenty-six letters of the English alphabet yet, so Zhao Ziyue had already told Yan Naibo about Ms. Tan.After hearing this, Yan Naibo promised to help him, and praised him as a young man with a history, because Yan Naibo's opinion was: "Free love is the behavior of pigs and dogs. Whoring prostitutes and taking concubines is a dignified behavior of a man. Therefore, in order to maintain morality, we have to Oppose free love, and at the same time have to support those who are willing to whore and marry." Confusedly, I have muddled through the winter.The water in the Tianjin River has risen somewhat in spring.Zhao Zi said that he was looking forward to the news of Ms. Tan day and night, but Yan Naibo never spoke the truth.Sometimes I went to talk to Zhou Shaolian, but Zhou Shaolian had no idea at all and only wrote new poems.Zhao Ziyue was so anxious that he sunken his eyes a little. He didn't eat well, and he couldn't sleep well. He only drank half a catty of white dry wine, and he felt better.

He finished his meal at Tongfuloujing restaurant by himself, and walked to the hotel sullenly.I'm used to seeing the bustling noise in the Japanese Concession, not only didn't I find it interesting, but I was a little disgusted and panicked.As soon as he entered the hotel, the old man in room number rushed over and whispered to him: "Mr. Zhao, there is a girl waiting for you in your room." Zhao Ziyue nodded, didn't speak, and ran to his room like crazy. Sitting on the small chair was a woman, her face was scorched yellow, her eyes were red from crying, she was wearing a green jacket, she looked aggrieved like a poor child.

Zhao Ziyue took a deep breath of the opium-smelling air in the hotel: "Who are you?" "Tan Yu'e!" She replied in a low voice. "What are you doing here?" Zhao Ziyue sat down on the bed, angrily took out a cigarette and stuck it in his mouth. "Have you changed your mind?" Ms. Tan wiped her tears with her sleeve. "Who told you to change your appearance!" Zhao Zi said with a sound of "layer", struck a match, lit a foreign cigarette, and took a few puffs hard. "You have half a catty of wine in your stomach, and I put three-point white powder on my face, and you will change your mind immediately, easy! Easy!" She said with a mournful face.

"What's the matter with you, exactly?" "cough!" "Speak! My descendants! Speak!" "Mr. Zhao!" Tan Yu'e said solemnly, "I beg you to come! Are you from Mancheng?" "good!" "I am also from Mancheng, and we are fellow villagers, so I am begging you!" "Ah!" Zhao Ziyue heard the word folks, and the anger in his heart disappeared a lot. "What's going on? Girl!" "Six years ago, I left my home to study in a women's normal school, cough!" Ms. Tan seemed to swallow a mouthful of tears, and then said, "I ran to Tianjin with a young man, and we lived happily together for one year and three years. God, he, his surname is Zhao, and his surname is also Zhao,—he is dead! I have not graduated from a normal school, so I am naturally not qualified to work; My only career! So with tears in my eye sockets and a smile on my brow, I went fishing to catch a man! At that time, I was twenty-five years old, and my face was not so ugly, and I could still attract people with two clothes on. Attention, you men! As a result, I caught a salt merchant, and within three months after my Zhao—— died! I had to sleep with that salt merchant in order to have enough food and clothing, even though I really didn’t love him! After he fell asleep, I could only shed a few tears! But, cough! My life is too bitter, and I don’t have the blessing to be warm: He, the salt merchant, was killed by the warlord again, and all his property was robbed I have only one life left, I still have to live—” Zhao Ziyue unknowingly threw half a cigarette into the spittoon.

"My heart is dead. I only live for this piece of flesh. Death is extremely difficult!" Tan Yu'e sighed, and then said: "Later, I met a Fengjun officer, and we lived together again. We lived together for a long time. By the end of the year, his money had been squandered. After the war, he put aside his errands. He would spend money if he had money, but he would do anything if he had no money. He was shameless and ruthless. I—forced me to tear it down with a pistol!" Tan Yu'e stared blankly at the paintings on the wall, and couldn't think of anything to say for a long time.

"Tan——, go on." Zhao Ziyue's voice was much softer. "He went out to interview ignorant young people for me every day, and told me to lure them. I don't need to go into details. It's your turn. Once I heard that you are also from the city, I couldn't bear to do it. I must know that you are I live here, but I still refuse to come. He went to Beijing today, and I took this opportunity to see you. I came to beg you, not to lie to you. Can you take me back to my hometown? You want me, I am willing to be a servant and a slave; you don’t want me, I am willing to go back to my hometown to die. I can’t go alone, because he won’t give me a copper, he is afraid that I will escape. My beautiful clothes, he took to Beijing , but I’m afraid I sold it to pay for my escape. Mr. Zhao, you have to save me! He will be back tonight, if you are kind enough to save me, do it quickly! Mr. Zhao!”

As Tan Yu'e said, she knelt down to Zhao Ziyue. Zhao Zi said nothing, and helped her up.Lighting another cigarette, he frowned and thought about his idea. Zhao Ziyue was really embarrassed: take her home, the officer is not easy to mess with!Although I am not afraid of fighting, people with pistols are not as honest as the old principals! ... I should take her home, she is my countryman! ... What should I do when I get home?Accepting her as a concubine, she is not so pretty!I really told her to go back to her hometown to die, how could she bear it! ... Besides, what if the officer comes after me with a pistol when he takes her home?inappropriate! "Miss Tan!" Zhao Ziyue sat on the bed again, holding his forehead in his hands and said, "I can only help you with some money, but I can't take you home! First, I have a wife at home, and second, I can't make up my own mind about housework. I'll give you some money, you try to escape! I should send you home, we are fellow countrymen, but I have my own difficulties! Miss Tan," he said, taking out his wallet, "here is thirty yuan Take the money!" "Cough!" Tan Yu'e stood up, took the money with tears in her eyes, and carefully put it in her pocket: "Mr. Zhao, this is my chance, I have to go quickly! What about the future , I don’t know. As long as I live, I will never forget your kindness! Cough! Mr. Zhao, half a catty of soju can make you regard an old woman with teeth as a beauty, and a pair of white faces can make you lose your life I am a shameless woman, these two sentences are the experience I got from being shameless! I can't repay your kindness, I just give you these two sentences! Mr. Zhao—" Tan Yu'e walked out wiping her tears.
