Hua Xiongmao shouted outside, and with the help of the people living in the dormitory, he finally sent everyone else away. Chen Ke could imagine that the students were naturally very angry when they saw their attitude. But Chen Ke is not angry, if anyone really leaves angrily, it can only be said that these people's cultivation is too poor. The current BJP cannot afford to serve these figures like Zhang Fei.

Hearing that things were already being cleaned up outside, Chen Ke hurriedly got up to participate in the labor. As soon as the door opened, other people were okay to say, but Yan Fu sat at the table, which surprised Chen Ke. No wonder Hua Xiongmao didn't come knocking on his door.

It's not good to go in again when you come out, so Chen Ke began to clean up with everyone. There are now six people living in the permanent workshop. Chen Ke, Hua Xiongmao, Chen Tianhua, Xie Mingxian, He Zudao and Qin Wuan. Zhou Yuanxiao has moved out. The temporary residents included the twenty people who had returned with Chen Tianhua. Anyway, the weather was not cold, Chen Ke temporarily built a dormitory, plus the original dormitory, it was enough. Chen Ke is urging the dormitory building to rush work in the new school. It's about to be capped. As soon as the dormitory building was preliminarily completed, Chen Ke immediately had to transfer the personnel to the school.

There are many people who work well, and the work of cleaning up is completed quickly. Chen Ke just cleaned up the kitchen, brushed all the empty pots and pans, and cleaned up the empty tables and chairs. Just made a fuss, and it is estimated that everyone may not be able to eat enough. The rest of the food was piled up on four tables, and everyone sat down again, "Come, I'll give you a drink." Happy Mid-Autumn Festival. Chen Ke said with a smile.

This time, there was no excitement of Fang Cai, but everyone really tasted wine and admired the moon.

"Mr. Chen, do you know how to play the piano?" Wang Qinian and Chen Ke were at the same table, he asked.

"A little."

"Can you listen to one or two?"

"I feel like I don't feel itchy." After Chen Ke finished speaking, he took a bite of the dim sum brought by Yan Fu, and drank the rice wine in the wine glass. Happily, he walked to the piano again.

On an early autumn night, in the dark blue night sky, the moon is bright and the stars are scarce, and the courtyard has been smoked with wormwood, mixed with the aroma of wine and osmanthus. Chen Ke felt in a good mood. The smooth gliding of his fingers across the keyboard reminded Chen Ke of the past.

Thanks to his music-loving father, Chen Ke often went to the music room of the Railway Bureau since he was a child, where there was also an upright piano, and learning to play the piano with his father in the spacious music room was a good memory of Chen Ke's childhood. At that time, Chen Ke didn't really like to play the piano, he preferred to listen to his father play. But his father also knew how to grasp Chen Ke's mind, and Chen Ke practiced for twenty minutes in a row, and his father played a song for him. At that time, Chen Ke admired his father very much.

Later, the family also bought a piano, and Chen Ke fell into the palm of his mother's hand from then on. My mother's requirements were much stricter, she had to practice for two hours a day, and according to the practice time, 90% of the time she played the etudes, and only 10% of the time she could play Chen Ke's favorite tunes. Chen Ke has never figured out why he met a strict mother and a loving father, instead of a strict father and loving mother as the tradition says.

These days, Chen Ke often thinks about his parents. As time passed in this era, Chen Ke's hopes of returning to his own era diminished. Parents are also missing less and less frequently.

His fingers touched the cold keys of the piano again, and Chen Ke couldn't help but think of the two people closest in the world. It's been a few months since this era, and if the time on both sides is the same, then the parents should also find out that their son is missing at this time, right? I don't know what my parents can be anxious about when I suddenly disappeared. Although Chen Ke himself has moved out to live, in any case, his parents have not been able to see him for too long, and his disappearance will always be discovered. Although what his parents have always hoped most is that Chen Ke can take control of his own life and become a person who can live freely on his own. However, they still miss themselves.

Thinking of this, Chen Ke felt a little sad from it. But this weak mood made Chen Ke can't help but think of his mother's teachings again, "No one knows what will happen in the future." It is not certain whether you will be alive tomorrow. Therefore, don't be tempted by those fames and profits. Not that these are bad. The problem is that if you pursue fame and fortune, you can't get it at all. Fame and fortune are all given to you by others. Only when others need you, will they give you fame and fortune. Therefore, if you don't ask for help, you won't be controlled by others. Instead of chasing things that you can't grasp, it's better to do things that you can grasp. ”

It is only today that Chen Ke really understands what it means to be "impermanent". God knows how he crossed over.

In this completely unfamiliar world, the only truth that Chen Ke can follow is "to be able to do what you can grasp." In 1905, his knowledge of history told him about the course of the revolution. As for other means of making a living, Chen Ke's knowledge could not be used at all in this era. Whether it is chemical industry or computer, only Chen Ke can create these modern industries by himself, he can engage in it.

What would parents say to themselves if they knew that their foolish son had gone back in time and had chosen the path of revolution? Chen Ke's mind came to mind the vivid faces of his parents that he would never forget. The father must have looked worried and asked, "Can you do a good job?" Don't do what you can't do on your own. As for the mother, the corners of her beautiful mouth will slightly pull a beautiful and resolute smile that no one else can imitate, "Whatever you choose to do." You must remember to me that what you have to pursue is the thing itself, and never do things for the fame and fortune that can be brought by these things after they are completed. You must be an expert in this matter, unswerving, never betrayal, never be a deserter. ”

Looking up at the moon on August 15 in the sky, Chen Ke sat on the stool and said silently: Mom and Dad, I will no longer pursue fame and fortune, I will do it according to my own ideas and complete my own career.

With a hint of a smile on his face, Chen Ke pressed the piano key. This is "Lullaby". Schubert, a hungry composer at the time, once traded the manuscript of the piece for a roast beef with potatoes. Later, the manuscript sold for a record 4 million francs. Chen Ke likes this song very much, and the warm tune is also quite suitable on this moonlit Mid-Autumn Festival night.

The vast majority of the audience had never heard a piano before, and most of the audience had never seen a piano or even knew that there was such an instrument. But the music itself has its charm, not to mention the piano, which is known as the king of musical instruments. The beautiful sound of the piano flowed in the courtyard, and even the moonlight seemed to be more tranquil.

When Chen Ke finished playing this song, the people around him did not react at all, everyone thought the song was good, but they didn't know how to evaluate it. The exotic style, which is completely different from Chinese music, does not fully resonate with the listener.

Chen Ke didn't care, he casually played a jazz piano, and Chen Ke switched to Chinese music, "A Good Jasmine", "Celebrating the Harvest", "Sesame Blossoming Festival", "Xintianyou". These authentic Chinese music are played on the piano, and the audience is completely able to accept it. Many young people who had listened to the music hummed along in a low voice.

But Chen Ke didn't just want the piano for fun, he played and sang "My Motherland".

"A big river has wide waves, and the wind blows the fragrance of rice and flowers on both banks, and my family lives on the shore, and I am used to hearing the trumpet of the captain and seeing the white sails on the boat.

The girl is like a flower, and the young man has a big heart, and in order to open up new worlds, he awakens the sleeping mountain and changes the appearance of the river.

Good mountains, good waters, good places, all roads are wide, friends come and have good wine, if the jackal comes, it will be greeted with a shotgun.

This is the homeland of heroes, where I grew up, and in this ancient land, there are bright scenery everywhere. ”

Chen Ke knew that he was definitely not as good as an artist like Guo Lanying, and more importantly, this song was originally sung for girls, and Chen Ke would never be able to sing that feeling. He sang along with his understanding of the song. This song is good, and the lyrics are even more straightforward, and every time he sings it, Chen Ke feels as if the scene depicted in the song is right in front of him. Great rivers, rice fields, boats, sails. Chen Ke's main area of activity has always been north of the Yangtze River, and his feelings about these have not been profound. But since I arrived in Shaoxing, I have come to Shanghai. What I saw along the way is very appropriate to the lyrics. And this song is very healthy and uplifting, just express your chest frankly and directly, you don't need to sing love songs at all.

After singing the song, the audience was silent, and Chen Ke closed the piano and stood up. saw Hua Xiongmao with tears in his eyes and was the first to applaud. Although the words are still being said in these years, the words that can be sung have long been in decline. Singing has long been one of the mainstream businesses of prostitutes. Even if the men sing, most of them are local operas. Suddenly hearing such a heavenly song, everyone didn't think they were a little stupid. Hua Xiongmao led the applause, and everyone woke up like a dream and applauded.

Walking back to the table, just sitting down, Yan Fu asked, "Wen Qing, who wrote this song." ”

"I wrote it." Chen Ke didn't care about taking the credit of later generations for himself.

"Straight to the chest, the artistic conception is very good. Good song. Yan Fu praised. This is not Yan Fu's polite words, although Yan Fu himself does not eat, drink, prostitute and gamble, but after all, he is an officialdom figure, and he still accompanies his wingmen to listen to dramas and listen to music. He has never been interested in those glamorous sounds. After listening to Chen Ke's tune, Yan Fu only felt refreshed. It's not just the simplicity of the song, it's the lyrics that are even better. Compared with those ancient words that are either generous and heroic, or tactful and lingering, although Chen Ke's lyrics are in the vernacular of the market, they are not inferior in terms of ideas and feelings.

"Wen Qing, teach me to sing a tune." Hua Xiongmao said eagerly.

"This kind of good song can't be enjoyed exclusively by Mr. Wenqing, you must teach me to sing it." Mao Ping also said.

"Let's admire the moon tonight, and teach singing tomorrow, okay?" Chen Ke said with a smile.

"It's a deal." Comrades said one after another.

After listening to this, Chen Ke said in his heart, everyone wants to sing, I still have a lot of songs that I haven't taught. Comrades, I learned "My Motherland", and the next song is "The Internationale".

After a few more glasses of wine, it was getting late, and some people were already too drunk to get up and go to sleep. Chen Ke saw that Yan Fu was not leaving, and knew that he had something to say, so he asked Yan Fu to sit in the classroom next to the laboratory for a while. Yan Fu is naturally happy to obey his fate.

When Chen Ke was cleaning up, Wang Qinian leaned over. "Wen Qing, I have something to discuss. I want to sell our medicine to Nanyang, not whether Wenqing is willing. ”

This is good news, Chen Ke was overjoyed when he heard it. "I'll go to the hospital tomorrow, let's discuss this matter in detail, how about it?"

"Then tomorrow I will wait for Wen Qing in the hospital."

After sending away what should be sent and packing up, Chen Ke washed his hands and brought a teapot and snacks to the classroom. As soon as I entered the classroom, I saw Yan Fu sitting there in a daze with a gloomy face under the candlelight, and the whole person seemed to be fixed there. The candlelight was faint, reflecting the indescribable weirdness of the figure of this handsome old man.

"Mr. Yan, what's wrong with you?" Chen Ke asked a little tremblingly, Yan Fu's appearance really frightened Chen Ke.

"I remembered something from the past." Yan Fu's voice was quite distant, and it seemed that he had not yet broken free from his thoughts.

Chen Ke put down his things and just sat down, but he saw Yan Fu's face facing him, but the spectacle lenses and candles formed a peculiar angle, in Chen Ke's opinion, Yan Fu's spectacle lenses reflected a bright light, and Yan Fu's glasses behind the lenses could not be seen at all. "How did Wen Qing know about the matter of Jiawu, and how carefully did he know?"

How do I know so closely? I had read a lot of information from both sides of the world at that time, as well as overseas, so I naturally knew so carefully. Chen Kexin said. But this must not be said to Yan Fu. "I was studying overseas at the time, and some foreign scholars were speculating on Japanese government bonds, so I knew a little more from them." Chen Ke explained.

Yan Fu's wheezing voice became heavy, and he couldn't help muttering, "Even overseas teenagers know about this, and the imperial court doesn't even know about it." ”

"The imperial court doesn't understand the modern intelligence system, how can it know so much?" Chen Ke said with a smile.

"What is a modern intelligence system." Yan Fu immediately asked.

Chen Ke told Yan Fu about the characteristics of a modern industrial country, and that the so-called theft of the enemy's top secrets is actually only the work of a small number of personnel in the intelligence system. For industrialized countries, especially those that are very organized, there are many things that can be judged by observing many subtleties, combined with diplomacy and understanding of the strategic layout. The transfer of various personnel, the purchase of materials, changes in the transport system. Even the price fluctuations of some special commodities can detect many things. Of course, this must be based on an in-depth knowledge of the industrial countries.

These words may not be true, but Chen Ke believes that his knowledge of industrial countries is far higher than that of Yan Fu. If you feel that these words are plausible, then it is absolutely no problem to fool Yan Fu.

Sure enough, Yan Fu listened to Chen Ke's words and nodded constantly.

"Wen Qing, you are so young, but you are knowledgeable. Doing things humbly, the so-called seeing the virtuous and thinking together, but I don't know what to call the Lingzun of Wenqing, maybe I am fortunate to see it and I don't often know. ”

"Mr. Yan, before I went out, my father asked me to make an oath that I would never be allowed to mention my family history. I can't tell you honestly, and Mr. Wangyan forgives me. Whenever someone mentions Chen Ke's family background, Chen Ke always feels a very uncomfortable feeling. Although this reason has been said many times, Chen Ke still has an uncomfortable expression when he talks about it.

Yan Fu nodded after hearing this, stared at Chen Ke for a while, and Yan Fu suddenly said: "Wenqing's talent is far better than mine, but I am a few years older after all." I want to accept Wen Qing as an apprentice, but I don't know what Wen Qing wants? ”

"Huh?" Chen Ke couldn't help but swallow his saliva when he heard this unexpected words, "Mr. Yan, you're not joking, are you?" ”

"I used to be the general manager of the Beiyang Sailor School, although there are many students who go to school in the Sailor School, but to be honest, they are students of the Sailor Academy, not my students. I'm not kidding, I want Wenqing to be my student. ”

I see. Chen Ke understands this. Unlike modern education, in ancient times, taking in apprentices was a very serious matter. The so-called master, this teacher is a figure on the same level as his father. Because the apprentice has committed an accident, it is not uncommon for the teacher to be harmed. When Yan Fu said this, he indicated that he wanted to establish a personal mentor-apprentice relationship with Chen Ke and Yan Fu. Once this relationship is established, it means that Yan Fu will have to endorse and guarantee Chen Ke's social relations. With Yan Fu's fame, Chen Ke immediately doubled his worth. The identity of Yan Fu's disciple, in Yan Fu's relatives and friends, just looking at this identity, he has to be much more polite to Chen Ke. Where they can, they have to help. Moreover, this proposal also has a very tempting point for Chen Ke, after becoming Yan Fu's disciple, he can greatly make up for the fact that he is of unknown origin.

However, Chen Ke did not want to agree. Power means obligation. Becoming Yan Fu's personal disciple, in this era of recognizing his master, means that those who defect to Chen Ke are in a sense Yan Fu's lineage. Yan Fu's evaluation of the new school and the old master and apprentice is extremely correct. After establishing a personal mentor-apprentice relationship, Chen Ke had to assume certain obligations. There is nothing unfair about this, everyone knows the definition of this kind of master-apprentice relationship, and this kind of master-apprentice relationship was established by Chen Ke when he was an adult, and there is absolutely no coercion. This is very bad for Chen Ke.

"This ......," Chen Kezheng said politely to reject Yan Fu's suggestion. After all, a big man like Yan Fu bluntly made this request. It is very faceless when it is flatly rejected. If it is not dealt with properly and angers Yan Fu, it is definitely not a good thing for Chen Ke, who has a deep foundation.

Without waiting for Chen Ke to finish his wording, Yan Fu said: "Wen Qing's ambition, I have read Wen Qing's books, listened to Wen Qing's lectures, and seen Wen Qing's military training, today's students can tell Wen Qing's thoughts, if Wen Qing thinks I don't know, I will underestimate me." ”

Listening to Yan Fu's words, Chen Ke was shocked, could it be that his revolutionary ideas were so easily seen through. What a failure. But since Yan Fu has seen through his thoughts, he still wants to guard himself as a disciple, and as Yan Fu's identity, he naturally will not deceive himself. But I haven't heard that Yan Fu is a revolutionary party.

"Today, chaos has become a reality. If Wen Qing wanted to take refuge in the imperial court, it is estimated that he would have already become a leader. Since Wenqing thinks of the country, he refuses to go out. And gather the party, and I don't want to say more about the rest. Yan Fu's words were straightforward.

"Mr. Yan, with your talent. Personally, I would very much like to become a disciple of Mr. Yan. But since Mr. Yan knows my ambition, he must know that what I do in the future will inevitably affect Mr. Yan. I'll tell you the truth, if I worship Mr. Yan as a teacher now, all I ask for is Mr. Yan's help. As a disciple, I am afraid that I will not be able to do a single thing. Even if Mr. Yan doesn't care, I have a guilty conscience. So, Mr. Yan, I still can't get your way. ”

"Isn't the teacher supposed to help the disciples? What Wen Qing said, in the eyes of others, may be a danger to himself. But for me, it's a different story. Today's China, if it were a young man in power, would definitely not have fallen into the current situation. Wen Qing refused to follow the court, but everyone has their own ambitions. But Wen Qing and others, if I can't help, it will make me feel uneasy. And I didn't come to help Wenqing for my own position. Wen Qing doesn't have to worry about this. ”

Chen Ke did not doubt Yan Fu's words, but Yan Fu has no ideas now, which does not mean that he will have no ideas in the future. Even if Yan Fu doesn't have an idea, others will definitely have an idea. So Chen Ke will definitely not agree to this.

Yan Fu knew that Chen Ke would not agree when he saw Chen Ke's expression, but he didn't look angry. "What Wen Qing is looking at now, I probably guess, is based on the soil. The difficulty of this matter is unknown. ”

Chen Ke secretly appreciated that this handsome old man's vision was still very accurate, and he had been working hard to prepare for the establishment of a base area.

"But no matter what, Wen Qing must go north once. Although I am from Fujian, I have never liked northerners. And today, the South seems to be thriving. But the heroes who can really set the situation are still in the north. If Wenqing wants to do big things, they need the help of northern heroes. I want to take Wenqing as an apprentice, that is, to let Wenqing go to Beijing. Many of my former lives are in Beijing and Tianjin, and there are a lot of talented people among them. I'm going to introduce Wenqing to them. ”

Chen Ke couldn't help but be really moved when he heard this. In fact, he also wanted to go to the north to establish a party branch, but there was no breakthrough point. If Chen Ke goes alone, the heroes in the north will not agree with Chen Ke as a "fake foreign devil" and a "real comprador". If there is Yan Fu's help, Beijing can really go. But Chen Ke still didn't want to worship Yan Fu as a teacher. After all, Chen Ke is the leader of the People's Party, and without the consent of the party branch, Chen Ke cannot make his own decisions in such matters.

"This ......," Chen Ke wanted to speak, but stopped.

"There's no need to rush this matter. Today, I listened to Wen Qing talk about a lot of things, and I also felt something. That's why he hurriedly accepted Wen Qing as a disciple. This matter can be considered in the long run. After speaking, Yan Fu stood up. It was late, so I took my leave. ”

Chen Ke sent Yan Fu to the door with a relaxed mood.

"Wenqing doesn't have to be sent far away. Say goodbye here. Yan Fu said.

"Mr. Yan, there is something offensive in my words, please forgive me." Chen Ke was still a little apprehensive.

"The so-called, do things at any cost, and do not forget your life when you see profit. Wenqing, you did a great job. Well done. After Yan Fu finished speaking, he waved his hand to Chen Ke slightly. The handsome old man walked briskly, with the kind of powerful movements that only a soldier can have, and walked to the street. Although he has braids, his figure is not annoying in Chen Ke's eyes at all.

Looking at Yan Fu's distant figure, Chen Ke finally breathed a sigh of relief. The party members are not here today, and I must tell them about Yan Fu tomorrow. By the way, tomorrow I have to remember to say that Wang Qinian proposed to sell medicine to Nanyang. watched Yan Fu's figure disappear around the corner. Chen Ke entered the courtyard, carefully closed the door, and plugged in the deadbolt. Covering the piano with a cloth and making another round, Chen Ke returned to the dormitory. Lying on the bed, Chen Keben thought he would think a lot. Unexpectedly, not long after lying down, he fell asleep.
