Zhang Leyi, Lu Xiaoman, Zhang Jiazhu and Liang Shiqiu are playing mahjong.

Now that it coincides with the summer vacation, Liang Shiqiu is very free, and he came to Shanghai from Nanjing to play with Xu Zhimo.

"Brother Xuan, out of this?" Zhang Leyi pointed to the three cylinders and asked, she was new to playing cards, and her skills and experience were still very insufficient.

Zhou Hexuan stood behind Zhang Leyi and commanded: "This one is going to be fired, Yu Jiu will definitely be with it." ”

Zhang Jiazhu asked speechlessly: "How do you know what I am with?" ”

"Do you still need to ask? You've got it all figured, and I'm too lazy to say which card to listen to. Zhou Hexuan said with a smile.

After Zhang Jiazhu was exposed, he immediately said angrily: "Guanpai is a true gentleman, you see that Shima is a gentleman, and he doesn't say a word." ”

Xu Zhimo, who was sitting next to Lu Xiaoman and watching the cards, immediately smiled when he heard this: "Xiaoman's playing skills are better than mine." ”

At this moment, the servant suddenly came in and said, "There is a man surnamed Chen who has come to Mr. Zhou, let him in?" ”

Zhang Jiazhu sneered: "It must be Chen Dezheng, it's really fast!" ”

Xu Zhimo asked, "Do you see it?" ”

"See, why not?" Zhou Hexuan said to the servant, "Please let him in." ”

A moment later, Chen Dezheng appeared with two scrolls in his hand, and when he entered the door, he hugged his fists and smiled: "Oh, Mr. Zhou, I have admired the name for a long time, and I have long wanted to pay a visit, but I am too busy to take a break." ”

Zhou Hexuan said with a smile: "That's right, Minister Chen is indeed a busy man. ”

Chen Dezheng didn't seem to be able to hear the sarcasm in his tone, and opened the scroll to himself: "Recently, I asked for a pair of ink treasures, and I heard that Mr. Zhou is very interested in calligraphy, so I came to ask for advice and discussion. ”

Liang Shiqiu and Xu Zhimo glanced at each other, and they couldn't help laughing.

Zhang Jiazhu spoke much more directly, and he said: "You will inquire, and you know that Brother Mingcheng likes calligraphy." ”

Chen Dezheng didn't care about the ridicule, unfolded the scroll and said: "This is Mr. Ziquan's work two years ago, I can't tell the authenticity, and I ask Mr. Zhou to appreciate it." ”

Zhang Jiazhu immediately said: "Are you embarrassed to take out Tang Camel's calligraphy?" I've got dozens of them in my house, and they're all rotten. ”

Chen Dezheng said with a smile: "The quality of calligraphy has nothing to do with the number of generations. ”

Tang Camel is indeed a famous calligrapher in the Republic of China, and the signboards of Zhonghua Book Company, World Book Company, and Dadong Book Company are all written by this person. Later, the words "Central Bank" on the legal tender of the Republic of China also came from Tang Camel's handwriting, and now many of the words on the stamp are also Tang Camel's.

is famous, and his handwriting is good, but unfortunately he has too many ink treasures.

In six years, he wrote 30,000 couplets and hired two or three people to sharpen the ink. He felt that grinding ink was too time-consuming, so he actually developed his own ink grinding machine.

This is no longer a calligrapher, but a writing machine.

Of course, Tang Camel's character is still good. Of the 30,000 couplets, 10,000 were sold for charity and donated to build a school in their hometown.

Zhou Hexuan glanced at the two scrolls, but they were a couplet, which read: The breeze cleans the Liuhe, and roughly controls the talents.

"Well, it's magnificent, it's well written, and it's suitable for hanging on the wall." Zhou Hexuan nodded approvingly.

In Zhou Hexuan's view, this couplet can only be called "good", with more than enough craftsmanship and insufficient charm. is far from Xu Beihong's elegant and agile, nor Liang Qiming's freewheeling, nor Liang Qichao's handsome and strong.

Of course, it is still much better than Yuan Gongzi, and it is not in vain.

This kind of word is suitable for making plaques, making door couplets, and making extensive prints, which can be seen from a distance, but can not be tasted repeatedly.

When Chen Dezheng heard Zhou Hexuan's praise, he immediately smiled and said: "The so-called sword is given to heroes, and red powder is given to beautiful women." Since Mr. Zhou likes this ink treasure, then I will give it to him. ”

Zhou Hexuan didn't answer, and said with a smile: "Forget it, Mr. Tang Camel's words, I'll spend money to buy a few pairs another day." ”

Chen Dezheng was quite displeased when he heard it, he came to the door to apologize, and the other party still held on.

"Mr. Zhou," Chen Dezheng said patiently, "Regarding the ban on "The Goddess" and "Dog Official", it is a pure misunderstanding, and we will correct the mistake as soon as possible." ”

Zhou Hexuan sneered: "Then Shanghai's "Republic of China Daily" said that I am a traitor who tends to be inflammatory, but it is also a misunderstanding? That article couldn't have been written by Minister Chen when he was drunk. ”

Zhang Jiazhu said to the side: "Minister Chen is really powerful, he can write articles when he is drunk, and he can write so organized, I am ashamed of myself." ”

Chen Dezheng finally got angry, he said: "Mr. Zhou, I am kind enough to apologize. Since you refuse to appreciate it, then let's continue, I, Chen Dezheng, have not done anything bad in my life, and I am not afraid to make trouble to the commander-in-chief! ”

"It doesn't matter." Zhou Hexuan said with a smile.

"Okay, I'll seal Ta Kung Pao when I go back!" Chen Dezheng said angrily.

Zhou Hexuan stared at him and said, "You try." If you dare to seize the "Ta Kung Pao", I will immediately go to Beiping and question Chang Kaishen in person, asking him what is the difference between him and the Beiyang warlords! ”

Chen Dezheng seemed to have been stung by a scorpion, jumped up and pointed at Zhou Hexuan: "You dare to call the commander-in-chief's name!" ”

Two months ago, the "News" mistakenly arranged the word "Jiang" for "Welcome Commander-in-Chief Chiang" to the word "general." This mistake was caught by Chen Dezheng for a while, and the "News" spent money and ran the relationship and published an apology in the newspaper, which solved the matter.

"Didn't the people's names be taken out and shouted?" Zhou Hexuan asked.

Chen Dezheng said: "Commander-in-Chief Chang is a great man, just like Confucius and Mencius, he must not be called by his name!" ”

"Joke, the Qing Dynasty is dead, and you still talk to me about it." Zhou Hexuan sneered.

"I'm too lazy to be as knowledgeable as you foolish, and take my leave!" Chen Dezheng brushed his sleeves away, he felt that Zhou Hexuan was unreasonable.

Xu Zhimo asked worriedly: "Mingcheng, he won't mess around again, right?" ”

Zhou Hexuan smiled: "Don't worry, he understands better than anyone else." Now that "The Goddess" and "Dog Official" are placed in Chang Kaishen's study, Chen Dezheng will definitely lift the ban. However, it was impossible for the newspaper to apologize to me, and he would not even take the initiative to explain the matter, because he had to take care of the majesty and face of the Shanghai Party headquarters. It doesn't make any difference if I reconcile with him today, or if I fall out with him. A person like him, who is said to be inflammatory, has a lot of backbone, and will not admit his mistake if he is killed. ”

As Zhou Hexuan said, Chen Dezheng quickly lifted the ban on "The Goddess" and "Dog Official".

However, the ban was quietly lifted, and no initiative was made to declare anything, and even many bookstores did not know that they could continue to sell these two books. At the same time, Shanghai's "Republic of China Daily" did not write any more articles to scold Zhou Hexuan, but the articles that helped Zhou Hexuan say good things still need to be strictly reviewed.

Zhou Hexuan felt very sad, he had to move Chang Kaishen out, and in the end he could only get a vague result.

People like Chen Dezheng are equivalent to cool officials in ancient times, just tools of those in power. When he provokes the anger of the heavens and people in the future, his master will naturally clean him up in order to calm the anger of the people.

Although Chen Dezheng is hateful, what is even more hateful is the Kuomintang behind him.

A year ago, the Kuomintang was still a progressive party in the minds of intellectuals, and countless literati from the north traveled thousands of miles to the south. But what is being done now is a big disappointment, and the Kuomintang is gradually losing the support of the people.
