The Ma family got a boy, and they were naturally overjoyed.

The child's name Ma Tianlai, thanks to God's gift, but the child was born, looking a little weak, weighed over, together with the small quilt is only five pounds and four taels, the nickname is called May Fourth, and the parents named May Fourth have another meaning, maybe this is fate.

Ma Xiangqian and He Fenglian met in the school.

They all went to new-style schools: Ma Xiangqian studied at Taiyuan Normal School, and He Fenglian was admitted to the Women's Normal School.

In their first year of school, the May Fourth Movement was vigorously launched, and they both participated in this movement.

At that time, the Beiyang warlords did everything possible to obstruct the patriotic behavior of the students, some of the students connected from school to school, and some gave speeches on the streets to arouse the people's awakening, and met to organize large-scale demonstrations.

Ma Xiangqian is a participant in the school parade, he has seen the humiliation of the motherland since he was a child, and he is determined to serve the country.

He Fenglian didn't know much about patriotic thoughts, but her parents made progress and wanted her to accept new ideas, so she walked into the school, for the parade, she didn't want to participate, but later her classmates around her participated, and she didn't know how to be "coerced" in, she was a little scared.

Armed military police organized a blockade in front of the Governor's Palace, set up machine guns, and brandished military sticks to drive away the students.

Many students were injured, several were seriously injured, and the organizers who took the lead were arrested, and the students could not resist and fled.

He Fenglian, who was naturally timid, was left alone, and ran into an alley in a panic, the footsteps of the military police outside were getting closer and closer, and she was so weak that she trembled with fright, and wanted to take a step but couldn't move.

At this time, a male student also folded in, glanced at Feng Lian, turned around and dragged her and ran.

The two knocked on many dark doors, but no one dared to open the door, until finally they saw a mansion with a big red lantern hanging "Zhu Mansion" next to the door, the door squeaked, opened, and a housekeeper-like person flashed out half of his body, beckoning them to go in and take shelter, the door creaked, closed, and they both sat on the ground.

This male student is Ma Xiangqian.

Entering the hall, the hall is spacious and magnificent, there is a figure painting hanging on the wall in the middle of the opposite side, which should be the ancestor of the family, the red carpet is spread in the middle, there are two red lacquered chairs on the left and right, and a middle-aged man of about forty years old is sitting on the right-hand side chair of the square table in front of the portrait, and the left hand side is empty.

Just as the two were about to thank their master for saving him, there was a knock on the door outside.

"Go tell those bunnies, and don't see whose house it is!" The middle-aged man commanded the housekeeper who opened the door sharply, and standing beside the middle-aged man just now, several housekeepers with "Hanyang-made" spears followed behind the housekeeper.

After a while, the noise stopped.

"Sit! Young man. The middle-aged man was very polite to the two of them.

"Thank you, sir, for the rescue! I don't know what the benefactor is called, and I will repay him later! The horse leaned forward and rose.

"My lord is a martial artist of the former Qing Dynasty..."The housekeeper standing next to him was about to interject when he was interrupted by this gentleman.

"What kind of martial arts, Mr. Zhongshan said: The world's major events are vast, those who follow it will live, and those who go against it will die! The Qing Dynasty has passed, we have to look forward! ”

For the "former Qing Wuju" with such a new thought, Ma Xiangqian and He Fenglian couldn't believe it.

"Dolls! You are also good, you can come out to parade and be patriotic, what do you do in your parade? ”

"For what? Patriotism! We can't let the Great Powers bully us! ”

"Will the march make the Great Powers fear us? Do you have faith? ”

"Faith? What is Faith? ”

The two young men looked at each other.

A few years have passed, Si Zhenhu not only did not give birth to a son, but even a daughter did not see half of it, and then looked for Ren Banxian, where else could he find it, Ren Banxian was originally a person who fed the whole family and was not hungry, and Si Zhenhu, who had no place to vent his anger, dug out the ancestral grave of the Banxian family in a huff.

Zhenhu's four daughters, he didn't bother to give them names, so he called them Da Ya, Er Ya, Third Ya, and Si Ya.

When Siya was born, she looked very strong, and her crying was earth-shattering.

When I was five years old, I saw the boy from the Ma family across the street, and ran over to beat him, and the boy of the same size was not Siya's opponent at all, and he was beaten with a blue nose and swollen face.

Feng Lian gave Xiao Tian the medicine, and said to the forward: "Be in charge!" It seems that "May Fourth" can only be followed by the text! ”

"It's good from the text!" He was quite calm about his son being bullied by the Si family, not because he was afraid of the power of the Si family, but he felt that it was not a bad thing for children to be bullied.

"Give him a gentleman first! When he is old enough to go out to school, send him out to school! ”

"Which gentleman please? Mr. Zhou or Mr. Li? ”

These two gentlemen are well-known old scholars in the county, and the "Three Character Classic" and "Hundred Family Names" are also very clear.

"Let's invite Mr. Fang!"

Feng Lian was stunned for a moment, and then agreed.

After Ma Xiangqian finished speaking, he entered the study, and Feng Lian, who had finished giving her son medicine, sent the day out to play, and followed her into the study.

Outsiders are not allowed to enter the study, and there is a pair of words hidden inside: drive out the Tartars and restore China. These eight big characters are the "former Qing Wuju", who brushed with a brush, and also let them know "faith" for the first time.

Si Zhenhu witnessed the whole process of Siya beating Ma Tianlai upstairs, at first, he just felt relieved, and then slapped his thigh: "Who said I don't have a son?" ”

Si Zhenhu, who found the "straw", first gave Siya a big name: Si Aozhu. Her three sisters also borrowed light: Aofeng, Aoxue, and Aoyu.

Then he hired a martial arts instructor for his four daughters.

The four sisters learn martial arts, they all have some talent, especially Aozhu, who learns well, although the youngest, but the eldest sister who is four years older than him, does not dare to underestimate her, the eldest sister and the second sister are the first to be born by Si Zhenhu, the third sister is another concubine of Zhenhu, now called Mrs. Ao, Xiuhong was born, Aoxue was born half a year earlier than Aozhu, the two young ladies look the most similar, and their temperament is also similar, outsiders don't look closely, they can't see it at all, but there is a mole behind Aozhu's right ear, Aoxue doesn't.

Zhenhu is most attentive to Aozhu's martial arts, and sometimes often demonstrates movements and guidance in person, and Aozhu's martial arts are also becoming more and more sophisticated.

The four sisters are all good learners, and everyone privately calls them "the four tigers of the Si family", which also means that they are afraid of Si Zhenhu.

Although Mr. Fang's name is sir, he is a strange woman.

Neither native nor married.

In the early years, he entered an advanced school and came to Xiangshui Town to start a career as a teacher.

What Mr. Fang teaches is a new culture, which is not acceptable to ordinary people, and she does not bother to teach.

Mr. Fang also talks about history, but it is more about the development history of Western countries.

Mr. Fang also talks about articles, not to mention Bagu Wen, but popular vernacular Chinese.

Then there is that Mr. Fang is very mysterious, and often comes into contact with people outside, and gradually Mr. Fang has more contact with Ma Xiangqian and He Fenglian, and the three of them sometimes enter the study to talk secretly.

In Tianlai's impression, Mr. Fang was the first and only outsider to be invited into the study, and even Tianlai was never allowed to enter.
