Chapter 333: First Encounter (First Update, Asking for Support)

(Back to normal update today!) I will make up for the arrears next month! Thank you for your continued support and love! )

At the beginning of twilight, the street lamps on both sides of the street have been lit, and the Western-style street lamps are flickering and shining, reflecting the street. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 infoOnce upon a time, the city fell into darkness after twilight, and then it became a sky that never sleeps. Hawkers sell melons and fruits on street corners, passers-by become hurried with the sky, and restaurants and restaurants with street lamps are even more lively.

In anyone's opinion, Wuchang at this time is a prosperous age. Indeed, not to mention anything else, it is the street lamps arranged in a neat and orderly manner along the main street, which is the virtue and politics that there was no in the old prosperous times, whenever night falls, the streets and alleys of Wuchang, a light emitted by the street lamps of oil, illuminates the whole city, which is not only convenient for the people in the city, but also prosperous the city.

Street lamps, Ma Yashi Road, this is the characteristic of Wuchang, although the people here have long been accustomed to the street lamps on the street in the past two years, and even used to the municipal bureau in the newspaper on the suspension time and oil content table, according to different solar terms, different night lengths, the amount of oil also has different regulations, what four taels, six taels of the official determination.

As for them, now they are accustomed to the nights when the street lights are bright, to the cleanliness of the city, and as for the thousands of taels of gas money per month in the municipal council, and the open defecation and littering, they will be caught by the military police, and they will be sent to the procuratorate to be sentenced to three months by the prosecutor, and that punishment is to clean the streets. Since there is a public toilet every one or two miles in the city, there is no need to hire roadmen to sweep the streets inside and outside Wuchang City, and even in the general ministry, there is no need to hire small workers, and the daily gendarmes will always arrest hundreds of people who defecate and litter.

Although some people have accused this of being harsh, people can always adapt and get used to it. However, in this Wuchang city, there will always be some new things from time to time, and even some people are overwhelmed, just like now, although it has been a few months, but whenever twilight falls, there will always be curious people to go to the governor's gate to see the "electric lamp" that does not burn oil, although for the street lamp that is quite convenient for pedestrians, people have long been accustomed to it, but the "electric lamp" was just launched, that is, people were amazed, knowing that it does not burn oil, only when using electricity, it is even more amazing, if it is not for the telegram to do the foreshadowing, I don't know how many people will feel that this is"Exorcism and lighting of ghosts".

Mo said that it was those ordinary people who had never seen the world, that is, for Rong Minghui, who had just come to Wuchang from Guangzhou, although the road was tiring all the way, she still couldn't help but look at the "moon race" in the past newspaper when twilight fell, and the newspaper talked about electric lights at length, but no one knew what the rarity of this electric light was, and what it was used for. However, curiosity was driven, and Rong Minghui still became interested in this electric lamp.

"This is the Moon!"

Under the bright light, Rong Minghui looked at the dazzling lampshade with surprised eyes, although the orange light was very bright, but it was not dazzling, and the light emitted by the electric light was not even inferior to that of the day.

"No wonder everyone says it's a "moon race" ......"

Even as a large family, she has never considered saving a few candles, a few taels of lamp oil and other trivial things, but now under this light, she is still surprised by this light, although the world is still a little cold at this time, but under the bright street lamp, there will always be some people reading there, many people shake their heads as if they are carrying the sage book, faintly listening to their recitation, Rong Minghui but suddenly smiled.

"Don't they know how the world is changing when they look at this lamp?"

Yes, times have changed!

Looking at those who were either reading books, or marveling at the light of the "Race Moon", and then looking at the brightly lit road, Rong Minghui finally knew why her cousin insisted on letting herself come to Wuchang, not for anything else, but to let herself see the changes of the times?

In Guangzhou, there is no factory in Wuchang, let alone the "moon race", and even the Ma Ya Road and the roadside buildings, which are wider than those in Hong Kong and Macao, are all revealing such a signal to people.

Times have changed......

Suddenly, Rong Minghui felt an inexplicable fear, this fear was because she vaguely realized that the earth-shaking changes were just the beginning, looking at the scholars under the street lamp, thinking of Lingnan College in Guangzhou, and Wenshan Yishu outside Wuchang City, she couldn't help but sympathize with these people in her heart.

Feeling a little suffocated, she felt fear for the first time, this fear is because the familiar thing will be completely overthrown, although Rong Minghui will wear Western dresses like Western women, can speak fluent English and French with foreigners, and can even talk with foreigners about Socrates, Plato and other ancient Greek philosophers, but she is still a Chinese and a Chinese woman in her bones.

"Michelle!"

Just when that suffocating feeling became more and more intense, a scream of surprise brought Rong Minghui back to her senses from her personal thoughts, she never thought that she would hear this name in Wuchang.

"Sister Camilla!"

When she turned around, her face was full of surprise, it was Camilla, the two had known each other as early as Macau, and the relationship was extremely close. Camilla, who was wearing a nun's robe, walked up to Rong Minghui and took her hand in surprise.

"Michelle, it's really you, aren't you going to Hong Kong? My God, I didn't expect to see you here! ā€

Perhaps because of her overly excited relationship, Camila seems a little incoherent, and it's no wonder, after all, she doesn't have any friends in Wuchang or even in China.

"I'm from Guangzhou, Camilla, are you still familiar with Wenshan?"

Although the two haven't seen each other for two years, they have been corresponding, and Rong Minghui naturally knows that she is familiar with each other in Wenshan.

"Yes, I'm still teaching medicine and music in Yishu, didn't Wanting come? Oops, I forgot, she was supposed to be in medical school by now, and it was so good that she was able to go to medical school, and I am sure she would definitely be the best doctor she could be! ā€

The two who have been reunited for a long time always have endless words, and the two chatted under the street lamp, chatting for a while, and seeing that Camilla was still very happy, Rong Minghui asked.

"Camilla, why are you here?"

Could it be that she also came here to watch "Race the Moon"?

"Ahh

As soon as Rong Minghui asked, Camilla realized that she still had something to do, and said in surprise.

"I almost forgot, I'm going to the mansion again......"

Just as she was about to apologize, Camila's eyes rolled and she took Rong Minghui's hand and said.

"Minghui, come with me, you can definitely help me......"

Without waiting for Rong Minghui to object, Camilla followed her straight towards the back door of the Governor's Mansion, and the guards of the Governor's Mansion seemed to have known her for a long time, so they didn't stop her at all. Although she was a little curious about the woman who came in with her, she didn't ask, and seemed to be used to her bringing people over.

"Camilla, I'm ......"

Rong Minghui didn't expect that this governor's mansion was so easy to enter, although she didn't want to come in with Camilla, but after entering the governor's mansion, she couldn't help but be curious. In addition to the electric lights that illuminate the garden in the house, it seems that there is no big deal, and if you talk about this garden, it is far less than Guangzhou.

"This garden is not big, it must not be as good as those gardens in Guangzhou."

Camilla said while leading Rong Minghui to a courtyard, before entering the courtyard, she heard music coming from the house, it seemed to be a symphony, listening to the music coming from the house, Rong Minghui looked at Camilla with some puzzlement and said.

"Camilla, what is this?"

"Shh......h

Camilla pretended to be a mysterious Chongrong Minghui made a gesture, and her sapphire-like eyes flashed with a strange look.

"It's a secret!"

Secret?

What secrets?

Rong Minghui looked at Camilla in surprise and said,

"Hehe, you don't know this, in this governor's mansion, there are too many secrets."

Camilla pretended to be mysterious and said to her friend, and then she pulled her friend and said.

"Now you are here at the right time, there are people here who understand Western music but not Chinese music, and there are people who understand China but do not understand the West, you happen to understand them all, just give me some advice......

Listening to the singing sound coming from the courtyard, the rhythm of the accompaniment was obviously different from the jerky in the past, Zhu Yifeng followed the music into the courtyard, and through the glass window, he could see that more than a dozen musicians in the room were playing, a girl with her back to herself seemed to be writing something, and Camilla was also cooperating with her.

"What? Substitution? ā€

Seeing this scene, Zhu Yifeng couldn't help but feel a little surprised, originally gave the word to Camilla, and asked her to help compose the music is just an attempt, after all, the national anthem is extremely important for a country, and he did not choose a song that will be familiar to future generations, after all, the birth of any song has its own characteristics of the times, but to find the answer in ancient books, learning the West does not mean abandoning tradition, not to mention that the national anthem formulated now is aimed at people of this era, who will neither understand the Great Wall, nor understand the vernacular, Moreover, the style that can promote the beauty of traditional Chinese literature and culture is still "Wenyan".

Of course, composing music is just an attempt now, and it may take a few years to compose a suitable piece that makes him feel good, although Camilla was a famous teacher in Paris, but she doesn't understand Chinese culture at all, and she also doesn't understand the meaning of that piece.

But today, hearing this solemn and solemn tune, and then listening to the girl's humming singing, although the music style is Western, but it does not lose Chinese characteristics, Zhu Yifeng's eyes can't help but light up, this is exactly the song he wants!

Just when Zhu Yifeng was about to speak, he saw that the girl in the Western-style dress stopped singing, as if she was thinking about something, and when the girl inadvertently turned sideways, looking at the sideways face Zhu Yifeng's eyes couldn't help but widen, and the eyes were full of surprise......
