594 [Wilted Honest Man]
Even if he didn't meet Lin Huiyin, Xu Zhimo probably chose to divorce Zhang Youyi. The reason why he filed for divorce was ridiculous, and the original words were like this: "Small feet don't match suits!" ”
In fact, Zhang Youyi only wrapped her feet for four days. The second brother Zhang Junmai couldn't bear to listen to her screams, so he stepped forward to stop her, and Zhang Youyi became the first big-footed girl in the Zhang family.
Xu Zhimo said that "small feet do not match suits", referring to the ideological "small feet", and he can't stand his wife's outdated concept. To put it literally, there is no common language between husband and wife.
This situation changed after the two divorced, Zhang Youyi had no face to stay in China, so she went to France to seek refuge with her second brother Zhang Junmao, and then went to Germany to study.
After several years of studying abroad, Zhang Youyi quickly transformed from a feudal woman to a new-style woman with broad horizons.
Xu Zhimo was greatly surprised by such a change, as can be seen from the love letter he later wrote Lu Xiaoman: "C (Zhang Youyi) is an ambitious and courageous woman, she has made a lot of progress in the past two years, her independent steps have been steady, and her thoughts do have a channel...... She is really not afraid of anything now, and she is going to drop a few bombs in the future to shock China's rat-gut society, you see. ”
In this letter, Xu Zhimo mentioned Zhang Youyi's tone, obviously with respect. Not only did he feel that Zhang Youyi's thinking had progressed, but he also thought that Zhang Youyi, who stayed abroad, could shock the old-fashioned Chinese society.
Xu Zhimo's prediction was not wrong, Zhang Youyi really shocked Chinese society: the first female president of a bank, the first female general manager of a company, the first female finance minister of a political party, and the actual helmsman of the Xu family (Zhou Hexuan's underwear business has now actually been handed over to Zhang Youyi to take care of).
If Zhang Youyi was so good at the beginning, Xu Zhimo would never choose to divorce, but would cherish it even more, thinking that he had married a treasure and went home.
Xu Zhimo suddenly said: "I don't want to be sorry for Xiaoman. ”
"Are you happy with her?" Zhou Hexuan asked.
Xu Zhimo shook his head.
Zhou Hexuan asked again: "Then is she happy?" ”
Xu Zhimo said: "I don't know, but we often quarrel with each other. ”
Not to mention a quarrel, the two have to quarrel every once in a while. When Lu Xiaoman was emotional, he would smash Xu Zhimo's head with an opium gun in front of his friends.
Zhou Hexuan asked: "If you choose to become a monk, are you worthy of Lu Xiaoman?" ”
Xu Zhimo shook his head again.
Zhou Hexuan said with a smile: "When an ostrich encounters a natural enemy or danger, it will bury its head in the sand, thinking that if you can't see it, others won't see you." You are now an ostrich, and the Xiangfu Temple is just that pile of sand. ”
"So what should I do?" Xu Zhimo said with chagrin.
"A good man is determined in all directions, and love is not the whole of life," Zhou Hexuan said, "Now the iron hooves of the Japanese invaders are wreaking havoc on the four northeastern provinces, and they will soon sweep the country south." You are a famous poet, instead of hiding in the mountains and becoming a monk, it is better to write a few more patriotic poems to inspire the anti-Japanese fighting spirit of the Chinese people. As for Lu Xiaoman, if you really don't want to face it, you can simply separate for a period of time and provide her with some living expenses every month. To be honest, I think Weng Ruiwu is more suitable for Lu Xiaoman. ”
"Maybe." Xu Zhimo muttered.
"This morning, I talked to Zhang Youyi on the side, and she has been waiting for you to change your mind. Perhaps, you can try to fall in love with her. Zhou Hexuan said with a smile.
Xu Zhimo was speechless and said: "How can anyone fall in love with his ex-wife." ”
Zhou Hexuan said: "You can become a monk, why can't you fall in love with your ex-wife?" ”
Xu Zhimo was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to refute. He had mixed feelings about Zhang Youyi, guilt, fear, respect, and appreciation...... All kinds of emotions are intertwined, so that he doesn't dare to talk to Zhang Youyi, every time they meet, it's like going to the execution ground.
Many people say that Xu Zhimo is cold-blooded and ruthless, but he really feels guilty, just like he himself said in the letter: "When I go to Berlin in another week, I have to deal with Zhang Youyi again. ”
"That's all you have to say, you can do it yourself." Zhou Hexuan will flash people when he speaks thoroughly, and if he continues to be verbose, it will only annoy people.
Zhou Hexuan persuaded Xu Zhimo to remarry Zhang Youyi, not only out of respect for Zhang Youyi, but also to help his business partner.
Although the two have divorced, they are still involved and it is impossible to break up.
The huge property of the Xu family was divided into three parts by Xu Shenru, one for Xu Shenru and his wife, one for Xu Zhimo and Lu Xiaoman, and one for Zhang Youyi and her son.
Xu Zhimo automatically gave up the family property, which is equivalent to saying that Zhang Youyi has become the actual helmsman of the Xu family. As Xu Shenru slowly let go, many businesses were handed over to Zhang Youyi to take care of herself, including the underwear business in cooperation with Zhou Hexuan.
Well, Xu Shenru has already adopted Zhang Youyi as her adopted daughter. Therefore, she is not only Xu Zhimo's ex-wife, but also Xu Zhimo's sister-in-law.
Zhou Hexuan walked out of the monk's house, bumped into Hu Shi and Jin Yuelin who rushed over, and immediately smiled: "Brother Shizhi, Brother Longsun, you are also here." ”
Hu Shi hurriedly asked, "Is Shima really a monk?" ”
"Do you believe it?" Zhou Hexuan asked with a smile.
"I don't believe it," Hu Shi shook his head repeatedly, "I'll go and persuade him." ”
Zhou Hexuan said: "Don't persuade me, what should be said, I have already made it very clear just now, leave some time for him to think slowly." ”
"Didn't I come for nothing?" Hu Shidao.
"How did you come for nothing?" Zhou Hexuan grabbed Hu Shi's shoulders and said with a smile, "Let's go, let's play mahjong together!" ”
Hu Shi glanced at the monk's house twice, and hesitated: "It's not good to still play mahjong in this case." ”
Zhou Hexuan said: "I have already played once yesterday, and I won more than 200 yuan." ”
Hu Shi was speechless and said, "I have quit gambling." This time, I heard that many friends came, and on this grand event, why don't we hold a cultural meeting and meet friends with literature! ”
Jin Yuelin was not good at words, and he didn't speak all the time, but at this moment he suddenly said loudly: "This is a good idea." ”
"Whatever you want," Zhou Hexuan said suddenly, "Why don't we call this meeting 'Farewell Party for Friends in Honor of Mr. Shima's Monk'." ”
"Hahaha, that's a good name." Hu Shi laughed out loud.
Jin Yuelin suddenly said: "It's better to invite a few more reporters, and the big-character headline must say 'Farewell Party for Friends Commemorating Mr. Shima's Monk', I believe this will be an unprecedented event." ”
Zhou Hexuan and Hu Shi were both stunned, and then burst into laughter.
Zhou Hexuan pointed at Jin Yuelin and said with emotion: "Brother Longsun, I really didn't expect that when it comes to bad water, you still have the most in your stomach." ”
The most famous literary meeting in the Republic of China period kicked off, and later researchers called it "Xiangfu Zen Society", also called "Xiangfu Meeting".
