169 [Strange Old Man]

Zhou Hexuan likes to make friends with famous masters during the Republic of China, and it has nothing to do with worship, just curiosity. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info is like a foreigner who goes to Sichuan and must go to see the pandas, and when he arrives in the capital, he must visit the Great Wall and the Forbidden City.

But Gu Hongming disappointed him.

This is a drooping old man, dressed in a long shirt with cloth shoes, a cane, and a pigtail dragging behind his head, and his body is so thin that the wind can blow it down. In the blink of an eye, he doesn't look like a master, but like a former Qing relic.

"Brother Gu, long time no see!" Zhang Taiyan clenched his fists and smiled.

Gu Hongming's old eyes were dizzy, and he stared at Zhang Taiyan for a while before saying, "It's you, you won't come to me to borrow money, right?" ”

Zhang Taiyan said unceremoniously: "As far as the friendship between the two of us is concerned, it is worth two yuan at most, which is not enough for the journey." ”

"It's good to know," Gu Hongming pointed at Zhou Hexuan with a cane, "This is your son?" ”

Zhang Taiyan introduced: "I made a friend who forgot about the New Year, called Zhou Hexuan. ”

"I've heard that fake foreign devils sell new underwear in Shanghai newspapers," Gu Hongming began to teach a lesson, "You say you, what's so good about Western underwear?" Our Chinese belly pocket is the most wonderful, covered with that clove milk, Yingying grasp, isn't it beautiful! What kind of big granitarianism is there, what do you want to do so big, women are not cows! ”

Zhou Hexuan couldn't cry or laugh, and defended: "Advocating grandmaism is for the sake of propaganda and opening up the chest. Chest binding is a bad habit in China, which harms women's health and causes many diseases. ”

"Evil words confuse the public," Gu Hongming blew his beard and glared, "Who said that binding the chest and mutilating the body?" Chinese women have always tied their breasts, and they have not endangered the reproduction of the nation. The advanced of the West should be learned, but small feet and small breasts are unique to China's aesthetics. Those who propagate the release of feet and breasts are stupid people, who abandon their roots and chase the end. ”

Zhou Hexuan was speechless for a moment, and had no interest in chatting any further, and immediately retorted: "Mr. Gu likes small feet so much, why don't you break your toes and wrap one?" ”

Gu Hongming said his great truth: "Chinese culture originates from the Book of Changes, and it is easy to talk about yin and yang. Men are masculine, so they naturally have to be masculine, how can they be bound to their feet? Women are feminine, so they have to bind their feet and tie their breasts. Small milk is yin, and advocating big grandmother is to reverse yin and yang. ”

Zhou Hexuan's original curiosity and admiration for Gu Hongming have been exhausted at this moment. He unceremoniously crossed Erlang's legs, drank tea, and said, "Mr. Gu, have you ever been to Dunhuang?" ”

"Nope." Gu Hongming said.

"If you have been to Dunhuang, you will find that the women in the murals all have grandmothers," Zhou Hexuan asked with a smile, "During the Tang Dynasty, didn't China talk about yin and yang?" Why didn't the Tang women have their breasts? ”

Gu Hongming was speechless for a moment, and said strongly: "During the Tang Dynasty, China's culture and customs were not perfect, and it was only in the Ming and Qing dynasties that Chinese culture was true and beautiful. ”

Zhou Hexuan was so thundered that he couldn't speak, and Gu Hongming's glorious image in his heart was instantly shattered.

Gu Hongming is indeed very good, can speak well, and knows many Chinese. But many of his ideas are extremely bizarre, take the constitution as an example, Gu Hongming opposes China's constitution. His reasons are: first, the Chinese nation is a nation with a sense of honesty and shame and a high moral standard; Second, Chinese politics is not based on utilitarianism, but on morality. So China does not and does not need a written constitution, because the Chinese have a moral constitution.

A few years ago, when the New Culture Movement was launched, Gu Hongming also sprayed Hu Shih, comparing classical Chinese to elegant English, vernacular Chinese to popular English, and speaking the vernacular literature during the cultural regression. Hu Shi responded that popular English is more acceptable to the public than elegant English, and that 90% of people in China are now illiterate because classical Chinese is too difficult to learn.

Then Gu Hongming began to quibble, saying that the reason why you international students have such a high status now is because of the 90% of the illiterate. If they are all literate, they will have to compete with you people for jobs.

Although Gu Hongming's words are reasonable, they are obviously changing the topic and belong to the category of sophistry.

This gentleman likes sophistry, and often sophistry, but if he meets someone who understands, his sophistry is equivalent to a joke.

Take the sophistic grandmaster Gongsun Long as an example, his "white horse is not a horse", once he meets a discerning person, he will be exposed in an instant.

For example, you can refute the white horse non-horse theory like this:

"Is a man a human being?"

"Yes."

"Are you a man?"

"Yes."

"You say that a white horse is not a horse, then according to your theory, a man is not a man. So, are you still human? ”

Zhou Hexuan shook his head, got up and said, "Don't speculate for more than half a sentence, Mr. Gu, I'll leave first." ”

"If you go, you won't send it." Gu Hongming didn't bother to talk nonsense with Zhou Hexuan. He has long been dissatisfied with Zhou Hexuan because of his chest, and he is even more unhappy with Zhou Hexuan being the president of Peking University (Gu Hongming is a die-hard supporter of Cai Yuanpei and thinks that Cai Yuanpei is qualified to be the president of Peking University), so he didn't give a good face when they met for the first time.

"It's a pity, it's a pity." Zhang Taiyan shook his head again and again.

Gu Hongming asked: "What's the pity?" ”

"I thought you would have a big quarrel when you met," Zhang Taiyan said regretfully, "I didn't quarrel, there was no good show to watch, so I naturally felt a pity." ”

Well, this old guy doesn't have good intentions either, and he wants to see the excitement.

Gu Hongming said disdainfully: "A yellow-mouthed child, what's there to be noisy about?" ”

"Mingcheng and wait a minute," Zhang Taiyan called out to Zhou Hexuan, and asked Gu Hongming again, "Have you read his "The Rise of a Great Power"? ”

Gu Hongming said: "No. ”

Zhang Taiyan then hugged his fists and said: "You may be able to find it and read it first, and say goodbye!" ”

"Go ahead." Gu Hongming waved his hand.

Zhang Taiyan and Zhou Hexuan went together, and when they walked out of the gate of the Gu family, he smiled and said, "What do you think?" ”

Zhou Hexuan said angrily: "If you say it's good, it's called crazy, and if it's ugly, it's called an old thief." ”

"Hahahaha, you're really welcome." Zhang Taiyan laughed.

"It's a pity that I didn't get Mobao." Zhou Hexuan shrugged his nose.

said that Gu Hongming was at home, and he also sighed secretly after driving away the two visitors. He died of his beloved Japanese concubine a few years ago, and recently his wife died of illness, and the evening scene is quite bleak and lonely, and politically frustrated.

Two months ago, Gu Hongming returned to China, and the Japanese recommended him to be a consultant to Zhang Zuolin, and Gu Hongming went in a hurry, intending to assist Zhang Dashuai in unifying China.

As a result, Zhang Zuolin looked down on him at all, and asked in a sour tone: "What can you do?" ”

Gu Hongming didn't react, looked at Zhang Zuolin in a daze, and finally walked away angrily.

Sitting at home and flipping through the "Analects" for a while, Gu Hongming was so idle that he went out on crutches and called a rickshaw and went straight to the bookstore.

"Is there "Rise of a Great Power"?" Gu Hongming asked the boss.

The bookstore owner glanced at the pigtails on the back of his head and said with a smile: "Of course there is "The Rise of a Great Power", otherwise what bookstore would I open?" ”

Gu Hongming said: "Don't bring it soon!" ”

The owner of the bookstore immediately went to pick up the book, held it in both hands and handed it to Gu Hongming.

After Gu Hongming got the book, he didn't pay or leave, but said, "Come on a stool, do you know how to respect the elderly?" Does it make me a lot older and stand and read! ”

The bookstore owner sweated wildly: "Old man, this store can only be read for a short time, and you can't read in the store." ”

Gu Hongming said: "If I don't read the content first, how do I know if it's worth buying?" If you eat in a restaurant, you have to eat first and then pay for it. ”

The bookstore owner was speechless, so he could only move a stool and ignore the strange old man.

Gu Hongming sat in the bookstore, smoking a cigarette leisurely, and asked the boss to make him a bowl of tea, and then opened "The Rise of a Great Power" and read it carefully.

Until it was dark at night, the bookstore owner reminded: "Sir, I'm closing, you can come back tomorrow." ”

"It's dark?" Gu Hongming looked at the darkness outside, and said angrily, "You are really, you don't know how to ask me to eat when it's dark, why are you hungry when I say it." ”

The bookstore owner smiled wryly, "Yes, I'll treat you to a bowl of noodles." ”

Gu Hongming took out the money for the book, slapped it in the boss's hand and left, went home and said to the maid: "Bring the food quickly, I'm starving." ”

After speaking, he went to the study again, wrote down the post seriously, handed it to the servant, and said, "Send the post to Peking University and give it to the principal surnamed Zhou there." ”

Zhou Hexuan lived in the reception dormitory of Peking University, and received Gu Hongming's greeting post at almost ten o'clock in the evening, and he couldn't cry or laugh after reading it. The post is written in classical Chinese, and the general content is: I don't care about you during the day, I read your book today, and the writing is okay. Tomorrow, please prepare tea and food at Peking University, I want to talk to you.
