"Mr. Bao, don't say that, I am just a junior in front of you, and I don't deserve to be called a young talent. Huo Yaowen waved his hand again and again, he said that he was a child, which was good, even if it was just about age, if you really had to count it, when Bao Tianxiao went to Shanghai in 1906 to serve as the news editor of the "Times", Grandma was still in the womb of his great-grandmother and was not born! It can be said that he is a person of the same generation as Huo Yaowen's great-grandfather.

While speaking, Huo Yaowen beckoned Bao Tianxiao and Yan Qingshu to sit down, and Yao Wenjie on the side poured a cup of hot tea for the two.

Bao Tianxiao took a sip of tea, put down the cup, and said: "Not long ago, I read in the newspaper that Mr. Huo's books were sold to Europe and the United States, which is really terrifying, and now there are few outstanding talents like you in Hong Kong." ”

Huo Yaowen said modestly: "Mr. Bao has an overreputation, there are many talented writers in the Hong Kong literary world who are better than me, I know that I am shallow in my knowledge and clumsy in writing, and I can sell overseas, but I only vote for those ghosts, and I laugh at it." ”

Huo Sheng was humble. ”

Bao Tianxiao said with a serious face: "In my early years, I translated many foreign works, such as "The Biography of Gain" written by Haggard in the UK, "Sherlock Holmes" written by Conan Doyle, and "Bloody Hand Marks" written by Braque, so I still have the ability to appreciate English. Not long ago, a friend gave me two copies of "1999" and "Virtual Second World" written by Huo Sheng. I don't know the meaning of some of the words, but I can still understand the ideas that I want to express in the two books, and I have to say that the writing is really good......"

Perhaps talking too much, Bao Tianxiao coughed slightly, picked up the cup and took another sip of tea, and then continued: "... Not to mention the law of the dark forest in "1999", Huo Sheng wrote "Virtual Second World", which fully integrates science fiction and philosophical ideas, and for this alone, Huo Sheng is not a talent of the young generation in the current Hong Kong literary circle. ”

"Mr. Bao is right! Mr. Huo, you are too modest. Yan Qingshu glanced at Huo Yaowen twice, and said with a smile: "Not long ago, when I had dinner with Mu Songting, he told me about the vastness and grandeur of the "Kyushu" magazine founded by Mr. Huo, which is regarded as the first strange book of contemporary times, compared to the ancient "Romance of the Gods" and "Journey to the West". ”

Huo Yaowen said: "Mr. Yan, I just came out with the outline and plot of "Kyushu" magazine, and the main writer is someone else. ”

"What about other people's main writers? There are many people with good Chinese writing, but how many people can write "The Biography of Shushan" similar to the Lord of Huanzhu Mansion?" There were too many intellectuals who burst out during the Republic of China, and Yan Qingshu didn't know how many talented people with outstanding writing had read, but there were not many who could stand out.

Hearing this, Huo Yaowen didn't know what to say, so he had to smile and say nothing, anyway, when he heard Yan Qingshu's meaning, he should be praising himself, so he simply accepted it with peace of mind.

The next few people chatted casually, and Yan Qingshu didn't talk about what he was doing with Yao Wenzhuo, just a tea party where old friends gathered.

The topic became wider and wider, and gradually talked about martial arts, Yan Qingshu frowned and said: "Speaking of martial arts, I have been curious about one thing over the years, that is, who is the true identity of the Songling woman Pan Xiaohuang, the author of "The Red Line of Chinese Female Swordsmen, The Biography of Nie Yinniang"!"

"The Red Line of Chinese Female Swordsmen, The Biography of Nie Yinniang" is written about the story of two female chivalrous warriors who were skilled in martial arts at the end of the Tang Dynasty.

"I was in China 2,000 years ago, and the country was chivalrous.

I was the people of China 2,000 years ago, and the people were chivalrous.

Chivalry, the saint, the anti-Confucian, the enemy of the prince and the minister.

Heavy promises, light life and death, spending money, going to the soup and fire, and then making a confidant with his body, and never returning, ignoring it, and dying to perform a thunderous and lightning, earth-shattering drama, the effect of all chivalry is also ......"

This book was published in 1904 in China's first women's magazine "Women's World", and Yan Qingshu was born in 1919, when he read the book, he was already sixteen or seventeen years old, and he revered the author of the book at that time as a talented woman who served the country and the people. But after his studies and work, he searched for many years, but he never knew who this Songling woman Pan Xiaohuang was.

"Songling woman Pan Xiaohuang?"

Bao Tianxiao seemed to be recalling the past, for a long time, the cloudy eyes opened slightly, and grinned: "I remember this book, I remember that it should be 1904, the little devil and the Russians fought to the death in our three northeastern provinces, this Pan Xiaohuang wrote this book and pointed to the sharp nose of the Qing court at that time to scold the mother......"

Bao Tianxiao had personally experienced that time, so he naturally knew about these things, and although Yan Qingshu had also heard of it, he didn't know as much as Bao Tianxiao, and said excitedly after hearing it: "This Songling woman Pan Xiaohuang is really a woman who doesn't let her eyebrows! In ancient times, there were two chivalrous women, the Red Line Girl and Nie Yinniang, and I think Miss Pan can also be regarded as a generation of chivalrous women! I only sigh that Miss Pan has closed her pen since then." ”

Miss Pan??

A generation of chivalrous women??

Hearing this, Huo Yaowen burst out laughing, but stopped laughing for a moment, but the smile on his face still made Yao Wenjie and Yan Qingshu a little strange.

"Hahaha......"

At this time, Bao Tianxiao laughed loudly and laughed very happily.

Yan Qingshu looked at Bao Tianxiao, who was laughing, and glanced at Huo Yaowen opposite, and couldn't help asking, "What is Mr. Bao laughing at?"

"Let Huo Sheng talk to you. Bao Tianxiao finally finished laughing, pointed to Huo Yaowen on the opposite side and said: "Huo Sheng, I see that you also laughed out loud, I think you should also know the true identity of this Songling woman Pan Xiaohuang." ”

"I know a little bit about it, but I'm not sure. ”

Bao Tian smiled and said: "It's okay, you can say it and see if it's the same as what I know." ”

Huo Yaowen glanced at Yan Qingshu, who was excited at this time, and said with a slight smile: "This Songling woman Pan Xiaohuang should not be a woman, but a man!"

Yan Qingshu was taken aback and said, "What?!man!"

"That's right!" Bao Tianxiao nodded and said: "Songling woman Pan Xiaohuang is just a pen name, his real identity is actually a man, he wrote books under a feminine pen name just to arouse people's interest." ”

"How is it possible? How can it be a man? If it is a man, then why does no one know her identity? After so many years, it should have been disclosed a long time ago!" Yan Qingshu was disappointed, still not believing that Pan Xiaohuang was a man.

looked like he was going to meet a netizen, and found that the other party was a big man with his feet, and Yan Qingshu, who was so disappointed, Huo Yaowen finally couldn't help laughing, thinking that this Songling woman Pan Xiaohuang should be regarded as the earliest "online dating overturn", right? ?

He knew about this because later generations had read a book dedicated to writing about the anecdotes of the Republic of China, which wrote a lot of interesting anecdotes during the Republic of China, including a chapter that mentioned Pan Xiaohuang, a woman from Songling.

said that when the Songling woman wrote "Red Line, Nie Yinniang" became popular, the young men were all overwhelmed by this amazing talent Songling woman, and I don't know how many people fell in love. At that time, there was such a limerick among the men who admired the women of Songling: [Be an official and be a foreigner, marry a wife and marry Pan Xiaohuang, and if you have wine in life, you must be drunk, and you should be drunk when you have wine, and you will be ...... Japan, Russia and the Great Powers]

Although no one knows who Pan Xiaohuang is and where his family lives, this does not prevent readers who admired Pan Xiaohuang at that time from becoming "rumorers". It is said that there was a book lover at that time, and wrote to a newspaper in Shanghai, in which he wrote that he met Pan Xiaohuang by chance when he was in Hangzhou, and saw her beautiful as a flower and a race against immortals......

After the publication of this article, it confirmed the reader's judgment that Pan Xiaohuang, a woman from Songling, was indeed a beautiful girl. It's just that in one day, thousands of courtship letters filled the room of the magazine office, and countless men swore that in this life, Pan Xiaohuang, a non-talented woman, would not marry!
