280 [Minister Yan who loves face]
Zhou Hexuan and Zhang Leyi, wearing a Chinese-style wedding dress, each came out with a red ribbon. There is also a big red flower tied in the middle of the ribbon www.biquge.info the pen, which is similar to the ribbon cutting of the company's opening in the future, and the lady of etiquette is carrying the scissors on a tray.
There is no phoenix crown, and the TV series is all deceitful.
"Worship heaven and earth!"
"Second worship high hall!"
"Husband and wife worship each other!"
The master of ceremonies shouted loudly to finish the procedure, and Hu Shi took the stage to speak as the wedding host. Well, this guy is addicted to being a marriage witness, officiant and matchmaker, and he wants to preside over Zhou Hexuan's wedding.
Hu Shi stood in front of the microphone and said: "The first time I knew about Mr. Zhou was when I just returned to China, and I happened to read Mr. Zhou's masterpiece and was shocked. Mr. Zhou is a rare talent in the cultural circles of our country, he is a poet, educator, historian, writer, philanthropist, inventor and activist. Today, I feel very honored to be the officiant of Mr. Zhou. Miss Zhang Leyi, a beautiful, gentle, generous, intelligent and dignified progressive woman, is the general manager of Tianjin China Radio, and personally hosts the radio program, which is warmly sought after by northern listeners. The two newcomers are not only talented and beautiful, but also talented and beautiful, they are a perfect match and a pair made in heaven......"
Hu Shi talked a lot of nonsense, and the main wedding speech was spoken for several minutes.
Yan Xishan, Yu Qiaqing, Yi Peiji, and Yuan Kewen sat at a table with several foreign ministers.
Yan Xishan glanced at Hu Shi, who was speaking, and said in a low voice: "Boss Yu, I heard that your business representatives have been petitioning for disarmament for the past few months?" ”
"How can I care about disarmament now," Yu Qiaqing said with a wry smile, "Whether to disarm or not is a matter of someone's words." ”
Chen Dezheng has been in a state of prominence recently, and he has made Feng Shaoshan, chairman of the All-China Federation of Chambers of Commerce, wanted, and Yu Qiaqing, who is the vice chairman of the All-China Chamber of Commerce, has no choice but to give in. Song Ziwen, who supported Yu Qiaqing, was also beaten and warned -- Song Ziwen and Du Yuesheng were involved in the opium smuggling case, and even Xiong Shihui, the commander of the Shanghai garrison, was dismissed from his post.
Chen Dezheng relied on the support of the Kuomintang Party Department and had already offended Yu Qiaqing, Xiong Shihui and Du Yuesheng. In other words, Chen Dezheng has offended Shanghai's business, police, press, cultural and youth circles, and he simply does not leave a way out for himself, and it is a miracle that he can live peacefully into his old age.
In the face of Chen Dezheng's madness, Yu Qiaqing can only bow his head and be a man now, and he no longer dares to disagree with Chang Kaishen.
Yi Peiji suddenly said: "How can Minister Yan have time to attend Mr. Zhou's wedding, there is a dispatch meeting being held in Nanjing in the past two days." ”
The redeployment conference is the disarmament conference.
"Feng Huanzhang didn't come to Nanjing, how can the dispatch meeting be held?" Yan Xishan said happily.
"Does Minister Yan support disarmament?" Yi Peiji asked.
Yan Xishan said with a smile: "Yes, disarmament is a great thing for the benefit of the country and the people, and I raise my hands in favor." ”
That's weird!
Zhang Mouzhi also deliberately sat at this table, originally wanting to get close to the big guys. Now listening to the conversation between Yan Xishan and a few people, he can't interject at all, and he can't participate in the discussion of military affairs.
All Zhang Mouzhi could do was to pour wine for these guys, and from time to time he smiled and flattered, hoping to leave an impression in the hearts of the big guys.
Yan Xishan tested the attitude of the business community towards disarmament for a few words, and then suddenly turned his head and said to Zhang Mouzhi: "Mr. Zhang, can you invite Xu Zhimo over there?" ”
"Yes, yes." Zhang Mouzhi immediately got up and walked towards Xu Zhimo's table.
At this time, Hu Shi's testimony had already been finished, and Xu Zhimo was talking about literature with his friends, but he heard Zhang Mouzhi say: "Mr. Xu, Minister Yan Xishan Yan is invited." ”
"What did he ask me for?" Xu Zhimo followed in confusion.
Yan Xishan moved the bench to make room for a seat, took Xu Zhimo's hand enthusiastically and said, "Xiao Xu, come and be my translator, I want to communicate with this British expert on international affairs." ”
Zhang Mouzhi wanted to say: I can also speak English, why don't you look for me?
Xu Zhimo and Yan Xishan are old acquaintances, and when Tagore visited China, he was recommended by Xu Zhimo to go to Shanxi to inspect rural construction. Yan Xishan warmly received Tagore, while Xu Zhimo accompanied him as an interpreter throughout the process, and the two sides spent three days together.
Although Yan Laoxi picks the door, he loves face very much, and he cherishes his good reputation very much. He had the privilege of talking to Tagore for a few days, which he had been boasting about for more than 20 years, and he famously said: I discussed philosophical issues with the great Indian poet Rabindranath Tagore.
The philosophical discussion between the two is as follows:
Rabindranath Tagore: What is Oriental Culture?
Yan Xishan: Oriental culture is "China".
Rabindranath Tagore: What is "medium"?
Yan Xishan: Eggs with seeds, that kind of seed is "medium". This seed is incredible, and it cannot be explained that there is only one seed in the universe, and creation is the seed that is grasped. Suppose the earth is drained of the seeds of all things, and the earth becomes decayed. If the "middle" and seeds are lost in the human process, mankind will fall into misery.
I don't know if Tagore understood it at the time.
Yan Xishan instructed Xu Zhimo: "Xiao Xu, you tell this Mr. Toynbee that I admire his knowledge and opinions. ”
Xu Zhimo immediately translated the message and introduced Yan Xishan's identity and position.
Toynbee just wanted to understand the situation in China, and he also heard about Yan Xishan, so he immediately smiled and said: "Hello General Yan, I have heard of your excellent governance in Shanxi. ”
"Mr. Tang also knows about Shanxi?" Yan Xishan suddenly felt fluttering, and his political achievements were even known to Indian and British university scholars, and this matter was doubly face-saving.
Toynbee said: "I listened to Mr. Zhou Hexuan, and he praised your education policy very much, saying that you are the only person who is capable, courageous, and sober-minded in running education in the Republic of China. ”
"Hahaha, Mr. Zhou praised it falsely." Yan Xishan smiled proudly, and had a better impression of Zhou Hexuan.
Toynbee said, "If I have the chance, I would like to go to Shanxi to see it myself." ”
"Welcome!" Yan Xishan hurriedly made a promise.
When Rabindranath Tagore visited Shanxi, Yan Xishan organized a delegation to greet him, and the scene was a noisy scene of gongs and drums, firecrackers, and a military band playing a welcome song. Yan Xishan, who has never drunk a drop of alcohol, also made an exception to accompany Tagore to drink Fenjiu, which is enough to see how much he attaches importance to it.
At this time, the Chinese, whether politicians and warlords, scholars and wealthy businessmen, were desperate to gain the recognition of foreigners, especially those who were well-known.
Yan Xishan didn't care about Yi Peiji and Yu Qiaqing, and chatted with Toynbee in full swing. seems to be asking the other party for advice, but he never leaves his own Shanxi, frantically sells his political achievements, and pulls out his specious Confucian opinions.
Xu Zhimo forced a smile when translating, he had already learned Minister Yan's "philosophical" thoughts. Fortunately, Toynbee also knew little about Chinese culture, and was actually stunned by Yan Xishan, and since then he has believed that Yan Xishan is a thinker in the Chinese warlord circle.
"You're having a good chat, I'm going to disturb Le Yi and I!" Zhou Hexuan brought Zhang Leyi over to toast.
"I will replace wine with tea, and I wish you all a good old age and an early birth of a noble son," Yan Xishan raised his glass and smiled, "Mr. Zhou, after the toast is finished later, you will come to sit at this table." I, and you, and Mr. Toynbee, can talk freely about ideological and philosophical issues. ”
"Definitely, definitely!" Zhou Hexuan sweated wildly.
……
Too many friends are also troublesome, Zhou Hexuan was pulled by various people to talk that night, and by the time he returned to Yan Xishan's table, it was almost over.
Yan Xishan said in a low voice: "Mr. Zhou, what you said has come true, the central government is really determined to disarm, and even the steps to attack me are exactly the same as what you said." How do you think I'm going to cope? ”
"What can I do?" Zhou Hexuan smiled bitterly.
Yan Xishan looked at the guests who were leaving, patted Zhou Hexuan on the shoulder and said, "I'll come back tomorrow, let's talk in person." ”
Zhou Hexuan said helplessly: "I'll send you out." ”
Waiting for Zhou Hexuan to send Yan Xishan out and come back, Zhang Mouzhi smiled earnestly: "Virtuous son-in-law, Minister Yan, Minister Yi, Boss Yu, and the ministers of the Three Kingdoms are coming to attend the wedding, why didn't you say it earlier?" I don't even have time to prepare, but don't slack off. ”
"I just sent out invitations, and I wasn't sure if they would come," Mr. Zhou said, "and I didn't invite Yan Xishan, he came by himself, and I don't know where I heard the news that I was going to get married." ”
Zhang Mouzhi was surprised: "You didn't invite Minister Yan, he came by himself?" ”
"yes." Zhou Hexuan nodded and said.
Zhang Mouzhi was speechless, he didn't take scholars seriously before, he only valued foreigners, high-ranking officials and huge wealth.
But Zhou Hexuan proved that scholars are also very awesome, and their face is so big that they are boundless.
Yan Xishan is not only the Minister of Civil Affairs, but also a big warlord in the northern region, and he is enough to be on an equal footing with Chang Kaishen in the military circles. This kind of powerful person can't be invited by others, but Zhou Hexuan got married, and Yan Xishan actually came uninvited.
Zhang Mou thought to himself: Perhaps, the Zhang family will have to rely on this son-in-law in the future.
Zhang Leyi saw that her father's attitude towards her husband had changed greatly, and her heart was the same as eating honey, who didn't want her man to be recognized by her family?
The next day, all major newspapers in Shanghai reported on Zhou Hexuan's wedding in detail, because there were too many celebrities present.
The "Declaration" even listed a detailed list: "Mr. Zhou Hexuan's wedding can be described as an unprecedented event in the Chinese cultural circles...... Among the guests were not only Yan Xishan and Yi Peiji, two ministers of the Nationalist Government, but also Yu Qiaqing and Xu Shenru from the business community. The foreign guests included the American minister, the French minister, and the British minister, as well as the famous British scholar Toynbee, the Shanghai Times Shayi and his wife, and the Xinfu foreign company Davis and his wife...... There are many celebrities in the cultural and academic circles, including Zhang Taiyan, Hu Shi, Jiang Baili, Zhang Junmao, Yuan Kewen, Xia Peng, Shi Liangcai, Zhang Jiluan, Ye Shengtao, Liang Desuo, Xu Zhimo, Liang Shiqiu, Xu Beihong, Lu Xiaoman, Shen Congwen, Wang Yachen, Liu Haisu, Tang Huaiqiu, Zhong Guanguan, Tan Xihong, Rao Mengkan, Yu Shangyuan, ......"
Countless readers who read the newspaper were shocked by the long list. Especially people in the cultural circles, they can't understand that Zhou Hexuan made so many "celebrities" for Mao Neng, and Zhang Taiyan was still wanted by the government, so he actually showed up and ran to attend the wedding.
