Chapter subtitled: Scumbag's Paradise

At the same time that Big Sister Vivian shook her head at Miss Ainuka, the Big Fifth Brother of Hongqi in Chinatown shook his head helplessly with a bitter smile. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Li Jie happened to finish reading the letter brought by the foreigner lawyer, which was a letter written by Nintendo Sage himself, which was also a very troublesome letter, and he had to sigh in his heart.

Unexpectedly, the benevolence of Yi Yi at that time has brought him a lot of trouble now. This second master is really capable of making trouble. How did it have anything to do with Wall Street BOOOOM?

We want to oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, not to mention that now the Republic of China has also returned to the hands of our Han people. Hongmen has never thought of overthrowing the American government, so why should we Chinese bother with things between foreigners?

Therefore, the political consciousness of the old overseas Chinese is indeed quite low, and even high-level intellectuals like the fifth senior intellectuals of the Red Flag have not realized one thing, that is, if you don't get involved in things with foreigners, then why should foreigners pay attention to you.

But he understands another thing, it is not okay if he doesn't help him now, the second master can't get rid of the crime, and he can't even get rid of the relationship with Anliangtang in New York, who told him to let his wife Jin Feng and the fourth sister take in the girl.

Now it's yellow mud falling into the crotch of the pants, and it's not shit it's shit.

So after shaking his head, he sighed, nodded, and said, "That...... Mr. McCall, I will do as Mr. Yuan instructs. When you go back, let him 'cherish' more. ”

His old man is not a master who is willing to suffer dumb losses, and he has already made a decision in his heart at this moment, and this account must be calculated with Yuan Er afterwards.

Of course, the fifth Hongqi now "knows whether he knows the way" and can settle accounts with Yuan Er, but he can no longer ...... with Yuan Er The master has settled the account.

"That's good. Thank you, The red flag fifth brother. John clenched his fists as he Chinese in a matter-of-fact manner, and then pulled out a letter, "That, The red flag......

The Red Flag Old Five raised his hand to stop him: "Mr. McCall, please wait a moment." Please stop The red flag fifth brother, just call me Mr. Li. ”

"Alright then, Mr. Lee."

Lawyer McCall thought to himself that it seemed that people who were not part of the Chinese gang could not be called that yet.

"Mr. Yuan, please help me find this gentleman."

Li Jie took the second letter, looked at the recipient on it, and nodded: "This is easy." I saw him in Chinatown today......

At noon on November 4, 1920, London, the Embassy of the Republic of China in Britain.

"Brother Shaochuan, how are the preparations for the marriage going?"

"Thank you Brother Zhi for your care, everything goes well."

"Shaochuan, you don't have to be polite, we are our own family. If there is anything missing, just take care of it, the foolish brother still knows some people in London. ”

"As long as Brother Zhizhi is there, it will be my greatest honor to take care of someone."

"Hahaha, Brother Xian is just driving me, and someone Shi is also coming."

Well, Gu Shaochuan and Shi Zhizhi are two big names who have to be mentioned in the diplomatic history of the Republic of China, Gu Weijun and Shi Zhaoji.

In November 1920, the two of them appeared at the Republic of China Embassy in London at the same time to handle the handover.

Gu Weijun is the current minister to the United States and the next minister to the United Kingdom, while Shi Zhaoji is the next minister to the United States and the current minister to the United Kingdom. According to the instructions of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of China, the two of them will be transferred to other positions.

Gu Shaochuan is also preparing to get married again this month, and the third wife he wants to marry is Ms. Huang Huilan, the daughter of Huang Zhonghan, the richest overseas Chinese in Indonesia at that time. It is worth mentioning that his mother-in-law was known as "the first beauty in Java" back then.

So this Minister Gu went through the peach blossom luck again and married a Bai Fumei again. See, the "dead wife" is definitely a good thing.

Fortunately, Yuan Yanqian didn't know about this, otherwise she would definitely regret her intestines. It's a little late for me to wear it, two or three years earlier, can this Bai Fumei fall into Gu Weijun's hands?

Of course, in addition to official business, Gu Shi and the two have a good personal relationship, and they are still relatives......

Gu Weijun suddenly thought of something, frowned and said, "That's right, Brother Zhizhi." Twelfth Sister would rather stay in London than return home? ”

Shi Zhaoji smiled bitterly and said, "Yes, Humble Jing has been persuading her cousin Baokun these days." But...... Ay. ”

If our Master Yuan hears these two sentences, then his old man's intestines will definitely be a little greener, maybe they will be purple.

That's right, Shi Zhaoji and Gu Weijun are brothers-in-law. The former married Tang Shaoyi's niece, while the latter married the fifth daughter of the former prime minister.

Therefore, his great-great-uncle and grandfather are really too angry, if they had cooked MS. Tang's pot of raw rice to maturity, it would be a brother-in-law with them.

And these three brothers-in-law are still fellow villagers. Shi Zhaoji is a native of Hangzhou, Zhejiang, Gu Weijun is a native of Jiading, Shanghai, and Yuan Yanqian is a native of Wuxi, Jiangsu...... Or a subject of the core of the empire.

Why does he still need to go back to China, he can't just eat in the British and American diplomatic circles.

Gu Weijun shook his head a little stunned, and sighed: "Hey, this temperament...... It's really like her sister......"

The prospective groom's official was missing his deceased wife, and Shi Zhaoji was not easy to talk to, so he had to change the topic and said: "The reason why the twelfth sister is reluctant to return to China is not a secret...... That's right, Shaochuan. Do you know the person she likes? If it's appropriate, wouldn't it be nice for the two of us to just do this? ”

These two were typical Westernized intellectuals in China at that time, and they were quite open to the concept of marriage, and they were not too interested in arranged marriages.

In 1913, the marriage of Gu Weijun and Tang Baoyue caused a big turmoil.

Actually, there are two versions of this matter:

The first version is based on Comrade Lao Gu's own memoirs. He originally had a marriage contract in Shanghai, and like our Master Yuan, he also accepted the sponsorship of his father-in-law, Zhang Hengshan, a local gentleman in Shanghai, to study in the United States.

In 1908, Gu Weijun returned to China to marry Zhang Run'e, and then went to the United States again with his newlywed wife. However, because Mrs. Zhang is not used to living in a foreign country, with the consent of her father and brother, the two divorced by agreement in the United States. Ms. Chang returned to China alone. Soon after returning to China, she became a nun and has been accompanied by the Green Lantern Ancient Buddha ever since.

Of course, after Lao Gu returned to China and entered the Beiyang government, he met Tang Baoyue, and the two fell in love at first sight and became a couple.

The second version is the "legend". Lao Gu first met Tang Baoyue in Beijing, and then divorced his ex-wife.

Gu Weijun's father-in-law Zhang Hengshan is also a character, he is good at looking, and when he saw Gu Weijun when he was young, he felt that this son was extraordinary, so he set up this family affair and funded his son-in-law's studies.

After he knew that Gu Weijun had a new love and wanted to divorce his daughter, he directly wrote a letter to Tang Shaoyi, asking the Prime Minister not to take away the beauty of people and be ridiculed by the world.

Tang Shaoyi cherishes his reputation the most, and he is really worried that he will be said to use the power of the prime minister to break up other people's marriages, so he agreed to this matter.

But his fifth daughter, Tang Baoyue, disagreed. In order to threaten her father to agree to this marriage, she first went to Baiyun Nunnery on the outskirts of the imperial capital and said that she wanted to cut her hair and become a sister-in-law, but unfortunately Premier Tang was unmoved. The son-in-law failed to make a plan and made another plan, and informed his father that if he did not agree, he would go to the Bada Hutong in Beijing to officially go to the sea, and at the same time hang a gold-lettered signboard reading "Daughter of the current Premier of the State Council".

This slap really knocked Tang Shaoyi, who cherished feathers, unconscious. He had no choice but to immediately bring back his daughter and announce "unconditional surrender".

Of course, it was still a comedy at this point in the story, but then ......

Gu Weijun's father-in-law Zhang Hengshan is also a hard bone, but he does not agree with Gu Weijun's divorce. Tang Shaoyi had no choice but to instruct He Fenglin, the military envoy of Songhu at that time (equivalent to the commander-in-chief of the Songhu garrison), and asked him to be in charge of this matter.

Commander He sent several waves of people to persuade Lao Zhang at the beginning, but this old guy refused to live or die without oil and salt. In the end, this Beiyang warlord who was not big or small, and he was a middle-level warlord, so he had to personally bring a hundred soldiers, run into Zhang's mansion to find Zhang Hengshan, and forced him to write a divorce paper immediately.

Zhang Hengshan was reluctant to obey, and He Fenglin couldn't really kill him. If it really kills people, it will not be a sycophant to the prime minister, but a black attack on the prime minister.

When the two were at a stalemate, Gu Weijun's wife Zhang Run'e came out and agreed to the divorce.

Zhang Hengshan sighed and had to agree. As a result, the marriage was divorced.

Gu Weijun's former father-in-law died of depression soon after. Zhang Run'e, who was discouraged, really lost her hair and became a monk in Lujiazui Guanyin Hall.

Less than two months after this incident, Gu Weijun and Tang Baoyue held a large-scale wedding at the Beijing Hotel. (note 1)

As the saying goes: I only hear the newcomer laughing and the old man crying, and there is no reason not to shed tears.

Oh, according to the second version, Yuan Yanqian's father-in-law, Manager Zhou, will definitely be glad that his daughter has died a long time ago.

Just unexpectedly, as soon as Shi Zhaoji said this, Gu Weijun sighed again, and said with an even more depressed face: "Hey...... Speaking of which, this is also my little brother's no. Before she died, Bao Yue asked me to take care of her younger sister, but I was busy with the Rausch peace meeting in Paris a few years ago, and I didn't pay attention to the matter of the twelfth sister......

Shi Zhaoji hurriedly persuaded: "Shaochuan, state affairs are important, and it's no wonder you." So you don't know the person she wants, do you? ”

Gu Weijun frowned and recalled: "The junior brother has secretly investigated that person, although this gentleman is a widower, his net worth is innocent. His usual deeds are indeed a little off, but young and frivolous are inevitable. Just ......"

In a sense, our Master Yuan has worn into an era that is heaven for men, especially Chinese male intellectuals, and it is no wonder that some people want to wear it to be a "writer" and a "master".

There are so many scumbags in the Republic of China that they are simply innumerable. The military killing fist and the traitor with a brain in the water, these two are really different from the beginning.

The men of the Republic of China are really lucky, they enjoy the benefits of the old traditional patriarchal feudal society, and at the same time, they can use the name of anti-feudal and anti-tradition to abandon their wives and old lovers at will, and pursue their new lovers and new love...... Or sensuality in the name of love.

However, it is not to defend these "scumbags", in fact, this is one of the special phenomena of the transition period when the old morality has collapsed and the new morality has not yet been established.

And if you stand at the height of history, the collapse of the old morality of Chinese feudal society is really a great thing for women, and this period can only be regarded as a painful period. In a few decades, they will have an even greater good thing, and that will be the coming to power of a truly left-wing revolutionary government. And the first law they promulgated after coming to power was actually the "Marriage Law". (note 2)

So in Gu Weijun's opinion, "President Yuan" eats a steak, drinks a little wine, plays mahjong, and goes to Jiyuan, which is not a matter at all.

He said helplessly: "It's just that Wuxi thief, he himself refuses to continue to associate with the twelfth sister." What can the younger brother do? (note 3)

He is also a big intellectual, and he can't do the kind of drama that He Fenglin led the army to force marriage.

Shi Zhaoji had no choice but to say: "It's a pity." But it's not a problem if she doesn't go back. How do we substitute for Xiangshan bus? (Tang Shaoyi is a native of Xiangshan, Guangdong.) ）

"Tuk, tuk, tuk."

Just then, there was a knock on the door, and an attaché came in with a telegram.

"Mr. Minister, this is an urgent telegram from Luo Jiaxiang, the first secretary of the New York Consulate."

Luo Jiaxiang is the uncle of "Camel Xiangzi" Luo Puxiang and a diplomat. The third letter from "President Yuan Da" was to write to himself, asking him to find the first-class secretary and find the minister in the United States through this road.

The minister to the United States, who had not yet left his post, thanked him, picked up the telegram and could not help but be shocked.

After Gu Weijun finished reading it, he pondered for a moment, and then handed the telegram to Shi Zhaoji, who also looked solemn after reading it.

SHI ZHAOJI IMMEDIATELY ASKED, "SHAOCHUAN, WHO IS THIS YANSHU-YUAN?" ”

Gu Weijun smiled bitterly again and said: "Hehe, I really mean Cao Cao Cao, this is the person we just talked about about the twelve sisters!" ”

Shi Zhaokiqi said: "But...... But how could he have been involved in the Wall Street bombing? ”

Gu Weijun spread his hands and said, "How does the little brother know?" ”

"Phew!"

Just when the two great diplomats were speechless to each other, a shadow didn't even knock on the door, and broke into the office in a hurry.

Tang Baokun, who trotted over all the way, held a newspaper in his hand, and said anxiously before he could even breathe: "Brother-in-law, cousin-in-law, please ......"

"You must save him!"

Gu Shi and the others are such smart people, they have already guessed what happened when they saw this situation, this twelve sisters of the Tang family must have seen the news in the newspaper.

Of course, it is Gu Weijun, the incumbent minister to the United States, who wants to come forward now.

He just wanted to say yes, but a flash of inspiration came up with the idea of "the best of both worlds".

I only heard Gu Weijun cough dryly and said, "Sister Baokun, I will save people." But you have to promise me one condition......"

……………………

Note 1: There is another interesting fact here, when Gu Weijun was originally going to marry Miss Tang on June 2, 1913, Tang Shaoyi suddenly received a telegram. After reading the telegram, Gu Weijun couldn't help crying and laughing. It turned out that Lao Tang asked Xiao Gu and his daughter in a telegram to postpone the wedding by two days, and the reason was ...... He himself wants to get married first. He married Wu Weiqiao, the comprador of Swire & Co. And the other party is a full 30 years younger than him.

In addition, the marriage of Gu Weijun and Tang Baoyue actually appeared in the "New York Times", probably because the officiant was Wu Tingfang, the two ministers to the United States.

Note 2: Judging from the historical background at that time, the "Marriage Law" promulgated by the whole of China is really left and cannot be left again. Moreover, the presiding officer of the compilation of this law is Deng Yingchao, the lover of military killing boxing, and the members of the drafting team, Shuai Mengqi, Kang Keqing, Yang Zhihua, Li Peizhi, Luo Qiong and Wang Ruqi, these people are all women!

The "Marriage Law", which was enacted entirely by women, is a rare and unique case in the history of the international communist movement.

Modern Chinese women really have to thank The First Gong.

If there is a problem of butts and heads, the butts of the female compatriots of a large country in the East should really sit in the revolutionary party that "forced" them out of the house and gave them economic freedom. Of course, a hundred years later, some women have completely lost that consciousness and want to "return to the family".
