Volume II, Chapter 7
Although it has been nearly three years since this incident, Wang Yunqing is still haunted by this matter, and Huang Boyang said with deep sympathy when he heard this: "You bastard son-in-law can make you miserable!" ”
Wang Yunqing let out a long sigh: "In fact, after Japan surrendered, Ma Liangchen was arrested as a traitor with a heinous crime in Nanjing, and I heard that he bought his life with dozens of gold bars. After this Ma Liangchen came out, he took refuge in the military commander, and after returning to Beiping, he immediately took someone to extort my property to make up for his hole. Not long after the death of Dai Li, the head of the military command, the military command was changed to the Secret Bureau, and I heard that this Ma Liangchen was recently promoted to lieutenant colonel. In this world, black and white are reversed, good people are not safe, but bad people are promoted to become rich. I'm old now, and if I had been younger, I'd have to shoot that guy with a gun! ”
Huang Boyang looked at Wang Yunqing's resentful appearance and persuaded him to dissipate his anger: "Old brother, stop being angry, that Ma Liangchen is hateful, if this society is a bright world, there will be no living soil for people like Ma Liangchen." ”
Wang Yunqing said helplessly: "Yes, in today's society, how can there be more than one person like Ma Liangchen? ”
"Don't keep talking about unhappy things, let's talk about something else. I've been in contact with a lot of people, and now there's all the news outside. Would you like to hear it? Huang Boyang pretended to wink at Wang Yunqing mysteriously.
"There is so much gossip on the market now, both true and false, that it is difficult to distinguish between them. What did you hear, man? Wang Yunqing looked at Huang Boyang eagerly.
Huang Boyang approached and whispered: "I heard that Chiang Kai-shek recently transferred a large number of treasures from the Palace Museum and gold bars from the treasury to Taiwan. The communist army is very powerful, and Chiang Kai-shek's millions of troops are almost unbearable! In my opinion, within a year and a half, the world will be turned upside down! ”
"I have heard about this, my brother-in-law said that the national army was beaten by the communist army in Shandong and northern Jiangsu. It was only a matter of time before the communist army took the entire northeast. I estimate that we will inevitably have a fierce battle in Beiping! This had just driven out the Japanese, and their own brothers were fighting again. Isn't it good to let the people live a stable life! ”
Huang Boyang said thoughtfully: "It's just that the tree wants to be quiet and the wind doesn't stop!" ”
"Anyway, I think it's better not to fight, the country can't afford to toss anymore!" Wang Yunqing said.
Huang Boyang put his mouth to Wang Yunqing's ear and whispered: "I heard that there are several people in the generals of the national army in Beiping who are unwilling to fight, and your brother-in-law Feng Xuanxia is one of them. ”
Huang Boyang's words startled Wang Yunqing. His face changed drastically, and the tea at the end of his hand almost spilled. Wang Yunqing put his finger to his mouth and shushed and said, "Brother, where did you hear that?" You can't just talk nonsense, and if you spread it, it will be bad. ”
"Dude, don't worry! I'm just talking to you privately. However, the current war situation is already obvious, the Kuomintang has exhausted its morale, and its collapse is a matter of time before it falls, and if it is defeated, it will be defeated if it is not fought, and the officers and men of the national army know this very well. The Chinese do not fight civil wars. Many soldiers of the national army are unwilling to be cannon fodder for Lao Jiang! General Feng was very prescient in this regard, and I admire him very much. Huang Boyang's fingers tapped the coffee table.
Wang Yunqing didn't speak, just looked at the old friend in front of him who hadn't seen him for a few years with an inquiring look, he felt that the current Huang Boyang was a little unfathomable, but he felt that what Huang Boyang said was very reasonable.
"In ancient times, those who won the hearts of the people won the world, and those who lost the hearts of the people lost the world. The Kuomintang government has disappointed the people of the world, is there a basis for its continued existence? Is it still necessary for our soldiers to shed their blood and sacrifice for a regime that is about to fall? Huang Boyang said a few words, and Wang Yunqing nodded again and again.
Wang Yunqing admitted that his brother-in-law Feng Xuanxia was a well-understood person among the generals of the Nationalist Army, and he said that Feng Xuanxia's personal experience of rescuing him made him deeply feel that the Nationalist Government was extremely corrupt. He also saw that the Kuomintang had no way out in the future, and he did not want to fight for this government that had no future, and he had long wanted to release Nanshan and return to the fields.
Huang Boyang showed a smile on his face after hearing this, "Yes." General Feng was prescient. ”
Wang Yunqing, like Feng Xuanxia, also saw that Lao Jiang's anger was exhausted, and he was in a catastrophe. On the big stage of China, for decades, all parties have sung and appeared on the stage, and they have changed several times. But none of the strokes could sing brilliantly, and he was also a personal participant. He had a hunch that this time it was the turn of the Communist Party to sing the big show, and thinking of this, he nervously asked Huang Boyang: "The Communist Party will definitely defeat the Kuomintang." Because the Kuomintang is too corrupt, I know this very well. But I heard that the Communist Party is a ruthless character, they raid the rich people's homes everywhere they go, take away the rich people's property and distribute it to the poor, take away the landlord's land and distribute it to the tenant farmers, you know I am a person who has real estate in the city and a large area of land outside the city, do you think the Communist Party will be communist to people like me? At this point, he stopped talking and looked at Huang Boyang, wanting to get some answers from his mouth.
Huang Boyang replied with a smile: "Brother, who are you listening to?" To tell you the truth, I have traveled widely and met some communists in private, who advocate the overthrow of the exploiting class, the elimination of the gap between the rich and the poor, the practice of social equality, and the fact that the common people are the masters of their own affairs. ”
Wang Yunqing shook his head like a rattle after hearing Huang Boyang's words, and he said, "It's not good, it's not good!" What's going on? For example, my family property is my own private property earned by legitimate means, and my private property is protected, so why should it be robbed and distributed to the poor? As long as there are smart people and stupid people, hardworking people and lazy people, people who work hard and people who are willing to be mediocre, people who are rich and rich and people who can't read a single word, there will be no equality in this world. The existence of the rich and the poor, the landlords and tenant farmers, the officials and the common people, who make up all the strata of this society, has been passed down from ancient times to the present day, and the Communist Party can be changed. Confucius Ziyun: Those who work hard govern people, and those who work hard govern people. Ordinary people who can't read a few big characters want to be the masters of the country? Joke! Big joke! Wang Yunqing snorted disdainfully with his nose.
Huang Boyang shook his head and said, "Brother, you don't know much about the Communist Party!" ”
"Brother, I am a person who is familiar with Chinese history, these dynasties and dynasties throughout the ages, those who rioted did not rise up under the banner of 'equal rich and low, rich and poor' and 'weavers have their clothes, and cultivators have their fields' to raise their orders to the world, but after getting the world, they all repeated the old path of the previous dynasty. A new tyrant overthrows an old tyrant. An evil tiger ate a bad wolf, but the emperor took turns to come to my house today. Let's take it as an example, Sun Yat-sen's Three People's Doctrine is very good, but the Nationalist Government has said it beautifully and done badly. I know that the Kuomintang has no hope, and I am not optimistic about the Communist Party. Life is a flick of a finger, and now I am in the age of sixtieth, and I can guard my one-third of an acre of land and be satisfied with a stable old age. After Wang Yunqing finished speaking, he walked to a blue and white porcelain fish tank in front of the window, put some fish food in it, and looked at the goldfish swimming in the water with great interest.
Huang Boyang pointed at his old friend with his hand and asked, "I think you want to do that chrysanthemum picking under the east fence." Leisurely see Tao Yuanming in Nanshan? ”
Wang Yunqing said with a noncommittal wry smile: "Tao Yuanming, I can't compare, it's just that I am clean." He slowly stood up, paced to the window and looked at it for a while, then turned to Huang Boyang and said, "We haven't met friends in writing for a few years, today we are fighting poetry, and I will first read you the words of Xin Qiji." ”
Huang Boyang was interested: "Okay! I'm with you. Those who miss a word will be punished with one cup, and those who miss a sentence will be punished with two cups. ”
Wang Yunqing clenched his fists and said, "Okay! Then I won't admit it. ”
"The boy doesn't know the taste of sorrow, he falls in love with the floor, he falls in love with the floor. Worried about the new words. Now I know the taste of sorrow, I want to say that I will rest, I want to say that I will rest, but I will say that the weather is cool and autumn. Wang Yunqing looked up to the sky and sighed. There is an endless desolation in the words.
At this time, Huang Boyang stood up and walked to Wang Yunqing's side and said in a comforting tone: "Brother, I can see your state of mind. In fact, in your nature, you are unwilling to be lonely in your heart. It's just that I feel that I was born in time and space and have the heart to serve the country. Just now you read the words to me, I'll read the first fu to you, it's Fan Zhongyan's "The Story of Yueyang Tower". ”
Huang Boyang straightened up and pondered his emotions, and then recited to Wang Yunqing: "Qingli is the fourth spring." Teng Zijing guarded Baling County, and the more political and prosperous people were in ruins, it was to rebuild Yueyang Tower. Huang Boyang chanted with emotion, he seemed to be the Fan Zhongyan who was worried about the country and the people, standing on the top of Yueyang Tower, facing the waves of Dongting Lake and looking at the railing.
Don't be happy with things, don't be sad with yourself; If you live in a temple, you are worried about the people, and if you are far away from the rivers and lakes, you are worried about your king. It is a worry about advancing and a worry about retreating. But when will it be? It must be said that "the worries of the world are worried, and the joy of the world is happy". Belch! Siwei people, who am I with? Huang Boyang just chanted, and he couldn't return to reality from the artistic conception of the American text for a long time.
"Good! You can recite such a long beautiful text word for word, admire! Count me in losing! I'll punish myself with a glass first. Wang Yunqing drank a cup of tea and then pulled Huang Boyang to sit down.
Huang Boyang said: "No, my memory is far worse than when I was young. ”
"Brother, look at what you said, are you humble or proud? I won't fight with you anymore, I used to lose to you a lot! Wang Yunqing snorted, and Huang Boyang looked proud. The two old friends talked speculatively, and talked about other gossip one by one.
Time passed quickly, Huang Boyang saw that it was almost noon, and he also knew something about Wang Yunqing and Feng Xuanxia's situation, so he got up and said goodbye; Wang Yunqing saw that he was politely refused to let him eat, so he was not reluctant. He asked Huang Boyang how much he received for the painting while sending off the guests, and Huang Boyang drew a circle with his hand and said humorously: "I have a lot of blood, my son is ripping off bamboo, and Lao Tzu has to pay off his debts!" But let's not talk about money today. I'll tell you another day. ”
Wang Yunqing said seriously: "I know how much this painting is worth now." This money is nothing to me, two days after tomorrow I personally went to the glass factory to send the money to the counter, I haven't gone out for a long time, by the way, take a stroll and relax. ”
"Good! I'll wait for you, I've recently found a few more good things, please play with them then. ”
"Okay, I've opened my eyes too."
"By the way, there's something I almost forgot! When chatting just now, you said that General Feng likes to collect Duan inkstones, and I have a few high-quality products that I have just received, why don't you take him to my store to have a look? Huang Boyang continued.
Wang Yunqing said with some sarcasm: "Don't mention him!" My brother-in-law is just a martial artist, but he still has a mediocre elegance; I love everything, I don't know everything, and I often look at things when I buy things. Last time, he showed me a so-called Duanyan treasure, okay! There were a few eyes on the inkstone, all of which were fake, and I dropped them on the spot. He was not convinced, he was distressed, and he asked me to compensate him! What a two-hundred-five! By the way, if you have a good inkstone, I'd like to buy one for him. ”
Huang Boyang said: "Brother, you must bring him here, I will teach him a lesson then, and he will not be deceived again in the future!" ”
"If he is fooled again, you, the teacher, will have to pay him money!" After Wang Yunqing finished speaking, the two laughed happily.
Wang Yunqing whispered to Huang Boyang again: "Brother, from what you just said, I have a feeling about you, I don't know whether to ask or not?" ”
Huang Boyang smiled: "If there is anything else we brothers should not ask, you can ask casually." ”
Wang Yunqing asked mysteriously: "Do you sympathize with the Communist Party or have you been turned red by the Communist Party?" ”
Huang Boyang replied with a pun: "No!" Do I need to be reddened by the Communist Party? However, everything I said was from the bottom of my heart, and I still need to understand it carefully. ”
Wang Yunqing took his old friend's hand and instructed: "I admit that some of your words are indeed true, but this world is sinister, you have to be careful of being offended for your words!" ”
Huang Boyang said: "Don't worry, I'll be careful." ”
The two of them found Wang Hongju and Huang Tingting in the garden, and then Huang Boyang's father and daughter said goodbye and left. (To be continued......)
