Chapter 20: Robert Ropin
Originally, writing novels was a golden finger for him to make money for himself, but after thinking about it repeatedly, he still gave up the idea of making money with novels. The reason for this can be summed up in two words: identity.
If you want to make money, you must write a certain reputation, and at that time, it will be impossible for you to hide behind the scenes. When he moves to the front of the stage, his identity as a gangster will inevitably become a big obstacle. No one would believe that a gangster who wanders the market, sells force, and eats and fights for a living, has the ability to write so many novels, and I am afraid that he will cause countless troubles when the time comes.
Moreover, he doesn't have to write novels, although it is not easy to make a fortune in this era, but with his ability, it is not difficult to live a worry-free life, this opportunity to make money and become famous by writing, he still wants to leave it to Su Hanzhi.
Recently, Su Blind's behavior has become more and more abnormal, often not going home for three days, and later I heard that he was a Ji girl in the third-class class, and he lived there all day. Occasionally, when I go home to take a look, I will leave Su Hanzhi about one or two pieces of broken silver as odd flowers, but I don't see him out of the stall to tell fortunes.
In the past, he had never had such a free time, when he saw Su Hanzhi, he just asked for money, and would never give money, let alone a huge amount of money like one or two silver, he must take it to the tobacco house for filial piety, and when will he give it to his daughter.
When someone asked, he only said that he had handed in good luck, and he was about to make a fortune in business with others, and he would not make a living in this world. As for who he partnered with and what kind of business he did, even Su Hanzhi couldn't ask. If he hadn't known that he was indeed a blind man, and he had always been timid and afraid, Su Hanzhi would have wondered if his father had learned the legendary Liangshan hero.
Zhao Guanhou was a little uneasy about these abnormal actions, but he had too little information in his hands to deduce the real reason. All that can be done is to strengthen his own strength, let Su Hanzhi grow up quickly, and have his own foundation, only in this way can it be possible to decide his own fate.
As his "punishments" became more and more frequent, Su Hanzhi's progress was also extremely obvious, she was ingenious and had an extraordinary talent for language. Now I can use a quill pen to write neatly on a notepad.
Zhao Guanhou leaned over, watching her bow her head and write there, the sun fell on her white neck, glowing white and reflective, and she only felt that this was the best gift from God to herself. On the issue of treating women, compared to Zhao Guanhou in the past, he couldn't talk about it, and he didn't mind using means, if it wasn't for physical reasons, he wouldn't even mind eating Su Hanzhi directly, so as not to have other variables.
Su Hanzhi's intimacy with him at the beginning also resisted vigorously, but the bottom line of people's acceptance is always gradually changing. Considering that there may be a shameless foreign woman, she had no choice but to let him mess around. Later, as soon as this bottom line retreated again and again, it was taken advantage of countless hands, just holding on to its last line of defense.
Inadvertently, Su Hanzhi raised his head, but he was facing Zhao Guanhou's enthusiastic gaze, remembering the scene when his hand was doing something strange on his body, and his heart jumped wildly, "Don't mess around, it's not too early, Fengzhi They should come in a while, let them see that it's not like words." ”
"I know. But I'm not messing around, but very serious intimacy, we have to be husband and wife, and if we can't be intimate as a husband and wife, what kind of husband and wife are we called? Sister, when my leg is healed, I will propose to the master, if he is not happy, we will have a ...... to cut first and then play."
Su Hanzhi slapped him lightly, "Whoever cuts with you first, I can't do that shameless thing." If you get married, you will get married, and you can ...... casually That's it, isn't it the same with those unserious men and women? Don't worry, as long as you can do things seriously and have a good future, my father will not object to our business. I'm not too young, if I don't get married, can I still be an old girl for the rest of my life? It's yours after all, and you can't run away. ”
After she revealed her heart, she lowered her head shyly and put the written thing into Zhao Guanhou's hand, "Look at it, can you write it like this?" ”
Zhao Guanhou only read two pages, Jiang Fengzhi ran in in a hurry, the weather was hot, she ran sweating profusely, and her towering chest was rising and falling violently. When he entered the house, he first picked up the teapot and poured a few sips of water, and then he split his hand to grab the notebook
"I'll see, show me. Rogue Luo Ping...... This story is finished, right? I didn't finish it when I read it yesterday, and I didn't get a good night's sleep. ”
Su Hanzhi smiled and looked back, "What about Senior Brother Ding?" He didn't come? ”
"Ignore him, he's sick again, and this morning he was there in a temper and quarreled with me again, as if I were afraid of him. Don't say that you don't get married, even if you do, he doesn't want to control me. Auntie and grandmother, you don't want to be angry. ”
Jiang Fengzhi said angrily, found a chair to sit down, and began to look through the stories on the notepad. She didn't know any words originally, but she followed Zhao Guanhou to learn to read and write during this time, but she knew some, and when she didn't know something, she asked Su Hanzhi or Zhao Guanhou, which was a concubine. She even saved some money herself, bought two pencils and a notepad, learned to write crookedly, and learned foreign language from Zhao Guanhou.
Ding Jianming was also very interested in Zhao Guanhou's story at the beginning, but recently, because Jiang Fengzhi learned foreign language and writing, Zhao Guanhou's attitude was also a little cold. This kind of coldness is not too obvious, if it weren't for Zhao Guanhou himself being a good hand at observing words and feelings, he wouldn't be able to feel it.
Of course, he wouldn't really reason or argue with Zhao Guanhou because of this, but based on the idea that men are heaven, he still wanted to control Jiang Fengzhi and let her keep her distance from Zhao Guanhou. Although the relationship between him and Jiang Fengzhi is not confirmed, if nothing else, they will come together in the future.
These two childhood sweethearts, they are very familiar with each other, and they can still feel the changes that have occurred in this girl, and this kind of change makes him feel a little uneasy, and he always feels that if he continues like this, her mind will not be in herself.
At the very least, if a woman knows too many words and reads a book if she has nothing to do, she will become more lively and restless in the room. He married his wife because he had to clean up the house at home and serve him to eat and drink, and he didn't want her to become the kind of woman who was alone outside. Moreover, she always listens to Western stories, what if she becomes like those foreign ghost women, and chooses her husband according to her own heart?
But Jiang Fengzhi is a famous little pepper, although she is a daughter, she is a man, and she is very impatient with Ding Jianming's constraints, and the two have quarreled a few times in the Zhao family, and this time it is obviously a big trouble. Su Hanzhi counted her down and asked her to make amends to Ding Jianming, but she shook her head impatiently
"I didn't go, he was angry when he was angry, what does it have to do with me, so he didn't bother to pay attention to him. Even if it's my father, don't want me to listen to him, let alone a senior brother. Don't mention him, mention that he is upset, and he won't even be able to eat for a while. Sister, you can teach me to read in a while, I can write a lot of words now. ”
Su Hanzhi smiled slightly, "You ask your junior brother to learn, I'll cook for you, I bought a chicken this morning and came back, and I'll stew it in a while." ”
The matter in Xingezhuang was successfully resolved, and the bride passed through the door smoothly, which also suppressed the criticism in the streets and alleys. On a level, it is the greatest success. Although Zhao Guanhou didn't go to drink the wedding wine, the couple came to the door and kowtowed to thank him, and also sent two packs of dim sum to express his heart.
As Zhao Guanhou thought, as soon as the matter was over, Ma Da Nose's final payment was a little unhappy, but Su Blind suddenly became rich, and Su Hanzhi's hands were much more relaxed. Although she is good at running a family, she is also very willing to spend money on Zhao Guanhou, and in order to replenish his body, the meat has never been broken.
In this slum, even if you can eat one meal of white noodles a month, it is already a good life. Now the Zhao family stews chicken every day instead of stewing meat, as long as they cook, people in an alley smell the fragrance and eat the nest in their hands.
Jiang Fengzhi sat down with a notebook, and Zhao Guanhou didn't see it, "Senior brother, you teach me to write." The last time you taught me those 100 words, I can now remember thirty-one and write nineteen, how about it, smart enough, right? You'll have to teach me the rest. But don't worry, I won't learn from you in vain, I'll send you this manuscript to the newspaper office over there in the Capet Concession tomorrow, waiting for them to send us the Buddha. ”
Su Hanzhi was busy getting food, and said with a smile: "Don't listen to his nonsense, this thing is written and played, even if it is sold to the storyteller, people may not want it." I also took it to Capet's newspaper, and I was just looking ugly for myself, and when people ridiculed you, you had to listen carefully, and you were not allowed to fight with others. ”
Jiang Fengzhi straightened the silk handkerchief on his head, "I believe in Senior Brother Guanhou, sister, didn't you see it." That day in the Zhuangyuan Building, the senior brother of Guanhou talked and laughed freely, and put the clothes that the vegetable farmers cleaned up. That looks like Zhou Gongjin, the Metropolitan Governor on the stage, how can such a person talk nonsense? Besides, I've listened to this story, and it's really good, not to mention that you have written a foreign article, maybe the newspaper will see it and recruit you to be a translator. That congregational newspaper is the newspaper of the Capet concession, and I heard that even the Tessie people read it, maybe as soon as this thing is released, my sister will become famous. When the time comes, even the Tessie people will know your name, and they will come to the small shoe shop to see you. ”
"This foreign text and story are all written by Guanhou, and if he writes, he will use his name, but he insists on letting me come, and he gives me the nickname of Jiuhe Xiayin. If this nickname is appropriate for Uncle Jiang, if people know that I am such a big girl, I will be ashamed to die. He, just make me happy, don't give it to him, don't lose this person. ”
Zhao Guanhou corrected, "That's not a nickname, it's a pen name, if I didn't have a bad leg, I would have sent it myself." Although there are not many words in this novel, and when converted into our words, it is only tens of thousands, but in my opinion, this thing can get my sister a lot of money. Aren't you worried about the master getting into trouble these days, when the manuscript fee is in hand, you will have it in your hands, and if you have any trouble in the future, you can also rely on this money to support it. ”
For Su Hanzhi, he didn't believe that the words he wrote could really be exchanged for money, and he even felt a little ashamed because of the nickname Jiuhe Xiayin. It's just that Zhao Guanhou is sure that she can't touch his will, so she acts according to his temperament.
For Zhao Guanhou, he thought that the two short stories of this thief Luo Ping were a sure thing to get the manuscript fee, but Jiang Fengzhi sent the manuscript over, and there was no response for several days, neither the manuscript fee nor the feedback, which made him frustrated for the first time.
