014 [Born by a mother]
"Oh, be careful, clumsy. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info That's the master's favorite purple clay pot, don't break it. ”
"This place is not bad, foreign and foreign. Butler, I'm going to live on the third floor! ”
"What are you rubbing? Hurry up and get my box up. ”
“……”
On the morning of the second day after Zhou Hexuan received the important task, the marshal's mansion was noisy and noisy -- Chu Yupu's family finally arrived from Shandong.
The old housekeeper Wang Dafu is a distant cousin of Chu Yupu's mother's family, and he brought the handsome second, third and fourth aunts, while the main house stayed in his hometown to take care of his in-laws and children. Coupled with the more than ten maids and old mothers who accompanied him, the empty Dashuai's mansion instantly became lively.
After placing the luggage and belongings, several aunts and wives began to pester Chu Yupu. The second aunt said that she was going to play in the garden, the third aunt was too noisy to play mahjong, and the fourth aunt was too desperate to go to the concession, and the chatter did not stop.
Chu Yupu was dizzy by the quarrels of several mothers-in-law, and she really didn't want to stay at home, so she simply took the adjutant to inspect the barracks.
His troops were stationed outside Tianjin, and their combat effectiveness was quite strong, after all, they had defeated Feng Yuxiang's Nationalist Army head-on, but the military discipline was a little bad. Since the occupation of Tianjin, those big-headed soldiers have not been formally trained, but have entered the city every once in a while to make trouble, causing untold misery to the common people.
Zhou Hexuan was also annoyed by the noise, and locked himself in the room to think about the escape plan. He didn't want to stay in this place for a day, he didn't have any freedom, and he was worried all day long, for fear that the two handsome people would do something again.
"Bang bang bang!" There was a knock on the door.
Zhou Hexuan opened the door and saw that there was a big soldier standing outside, who was one of the commander's guards.
The soldier was very strong, but he looked loyal and honest, and said, "Mr. Zhou, my name is Li Xuanzhu." ”
"What's the matter?" Zhou Hexuan asked.
"Dashuai asked me to follow you in the future. By the way, this is what kind of money the marshal gave you, so that you don't save money, it's important to complete the task. Li Xuanzhu grinned and took out an envelope from his arms.
Zhou Hexuan opened the envelope and saw that there were 200 pounds inside, close to 2,000 oceans. At this time, the pound is equivalent to $300,000 to $400,000 in the 21st century.
Huge sums of money!
It seems that Chu Yupu has really made a lot of money, and knows that it costs a lot of money to pick up girls, especially in the foreign concession.
However, Chu Dashuai's ransom money for the future fifth aunt is 2,000 oceans, which seems to be nothing, and everyone who is a warlord is very rich.
Zhou Hexuan asked Li Xuanzhu: "I can leave the Marshal's Mansion at will in the future?" ”
Li Xuanzhu replied: "You must report to Adjutant Jia in advance." In addition, the marshal also said that he asked you to compare with Master Shen, and whoever completed the task first would be greatly rewarded, and whoever did not do well would be severely punished. ”
Adjutant Jia is Jia He, the herald of the Marshal's Mansion, what Zhou Hexuan doesn't understand is that he should compare himself with Shen Yaorong.
He soon found out......
When Zhou Hexuan finished the registration and was about to go out, Shen Yaorong suddenly walked over and whispered: "Mr. Zhou, you are going to lose very badly this time." ”
"What's the situation?" Zhou Hexuan was confused.
Shen Yaorong smiled proudly: "The handsome handed over to me the task of separating the concubines. ”
Zhou Hexuan was speechless for a moment, Concubine Shu's life was very unpleasant, even if no one provoked it, she would file for divorce with Pu Yi in two years. This is better than a fart, Shen Yaorong's task is too simple.
"Ahem, let's see." Zhou Hexuan originally wanted to have a good relationship with Shen Yaorong, but this master always looked at him unpleasantly, and seemed to be jealous that he had been favored by the handsome.
Shen Yaorong took this sentence as Zhou Hexuan's declaration of war, he sneered, strode out with his head held high, and hurried to implement his plan.
Zhou Hexuan looked unhurried, took a rickshaw to the newspaper to find Li Shoumin, and by the way, he brought the manuscript of the novel he just wrote last night, and there was always a big-headed soldier named Li Xuanzhu behind his buttocks.
"Brother Shoumin, I'm here to deliver the manuscript!" Zhou Hexuan blinked with a smile.
Li Shoumin was overjoyed when he saw this, glanced at Li Xuanzhu, took Zhou Hexuan's hand and asked, "How is Brother Hexuan doing these two days?" ”
Zhou Hexuan took out the manuscript and laughed at himself: "If you eat well and sleep soundly, you just can't run around casually, and you are not as comfortable as before." ”
"Chu Dashuai didn't embarrass you." Li Shoumin has always felt quite guilty in his heart, because he was the one who leaked Zhou Hexuan's address that day. That night, he waited all night outside the Marshal's Mansion, and when he saw Zhou Hexuan come out safely, he finally left with confidence.
Zhou Hexuan asked: "How is "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" selling now? ”
This is Zhou Hexuan's biggest concern, he must make money by writing books. Wait for more money in his hand to gain a firm foothold in the Tianjin Concession, at least in the future, when Chu Yupu loses the battle and is driven away, he can still hide in the concession as a duke.
The writers who wrote popular novels in the Republic of China were the richest, and Zhang Hatshui, the author of "The Family of Gold Powder", had a meal with the owner of the World Book Company, received tens of thousands of yuan in manuscript fees within ten minutes, and directly bought a palace in Beiping.
On the contrary, the gang that created new literature, except for a few great writers such as Hu Shi and Lu Xun, generally lived a relatively shabby life. Gong Baiyu, one of the five great masters of martial arts novels in the northern school, was originally engaged in serious literature, and he was also a disciple of Lu Xun, once he wrote more than 10,000 words to "Women's World" before he got 4 yuan for the manuscript, so angry that he directly changed his career to create martial arts novels.
Of course, popular novelists earn only money, but their fame is not very great.
Since Gong Baiyu changed his career to write martial arts novels, he didn't dare to contact Lu Xun anymore. In his later article, he recalled: "I was an unlucky writer. As a follower of Lu Xun, he became a famous martial arts novelist...... I succeeded, but I was disgraced. ”
Zhou Hexuan is thinking about writing an influential serious work, making money from popular novels, and inviting fame from serious literature, only fame and fortune are king. As long as his reputation is resounding, even if he encounters a person with real power in the future, if he wants to kill him, he has to consider the consequences.
Listening to Zhou Hexuan ask about this, Li Shoumin said happily: "Yesterday, when Huang Rong showed her daughter's body, readers reacted very strongly, the sales of "New Tianjin Evening News" have risen to tens of thousands of copies, all thanks to you!" ”
"That's good." Zhou Hexuan was quite satisfied with this.
"The Legend of the Condor Heroes" has now been serialized to the eighth chapter, and he got the manuscript fee of more than 400 yuan, and he can get a considerable manuscript fee when he publishes the book after the end.
By noon, the two went out to eat shoulder to shoulder, and the big-headed soldier Li Xuanzhu followed suit.
No sooner had they reached the street than a dozen soldiers had rushed into a shop. The man at the head was short and strong, and shouted arrogantly: "These are all Red Party members, all of them will be taken away by Lao Tzu!" ”
"The military master spares his life!"
The store was crying and grabbing the ground, and the customers were even more frightened. In the end, the boss raised 1,000 oceans and wrote an IOU of 2,000 yuan to finally save his life.
"Hahahaha, dare to play tricks with Lao Tzu, I'm impatient!" The man walked away with his soldiers.
Zhou Hexuan asked, "Who is that?" ”
Li Shoumin glanced at Li Xuanzhu and whispered: "That's Chu Yupu's brother Chu Yufeng, a hungry ghost in the color, he accepted the wife of the third aunt in less than half a month after entering the city, and he robbed it when he saw a beautiful girl, and now the women who have a little appearance dare not go out." Chu Yupu appointed him to arrest red elements, and this guy took the opportunity to extort money, and he would arrest anyone who dared not pay the money. ”
Zhou Hexuan sighed: "It is worthy of being a mother's brother." ”
