Chapter 255: You'll know later
In this era when men can enter and leave Fengyue places at will without being condemned, Lin Zixuan's incident is at best a small tidbit, at most an interesting anecdote among talented and beautiful people, and it will not have any impact.
In Shanghai, the scandal between him and Meng Xiaodong was even more outrageous, and he was not scolded.
The Republic of China was such a culture, especially indulgent to men, and even scholars who advocated women's emancipation often had affairs.
Hu Shi and Cao Chengying lived in Hangzhou, so unhappy, returned to Beiping and wanted a divorce, but were coerced by his wife with a knife, and finally had to give up this beautiful fantasy.
Miss Song Jiasan didn't think it was interesting, but she finally caught Lin Zixuan's little handle.
She joined in the fun and asked Lin Zixuan to write a poem for her as a souvenir, so as to make fun of Lin Zixuan's behavior of giving poems everywhere.
Lin Zixuan shook his head, he didn't dare to provoke this Miss Song family.
After this incident, he realized that it was really a dangerous thing to give poems casually, and he probably guessed Ling Shuhua's intentions, but it was just to fight with Lin Huiyin.
A woman's mind is really elusive.
"I don't want love poems, what are you nervous about, just write a song in praise of me." Miss Song Jiasan said unrelentingly, "Let me be happy, I won't tell Cheng Cheng about you." ”
Maybe it was too depressing in the Iron Lion Hutong, and this Miss Song family made a fool of himself.
Her temperament was originally a bit boyish and slightly strong, and Lin Zixuan knew that it would not work if she didn't meet her requirements.
But it is difficult to find poems that praise women, and she will definitely not be satisfied with the poor writing.
After thinking about it, Lin Zixuan took out the manuscript paper. wrote an ancient poem, "Fortune Operator Yongmei".
"Wind and rain send spring back. Flying snow welcomes spring. It is already a cliff with a hundred feet of ice, and there are still flowers and branches. Pretty doesn't compete for spring. Only report the coming of spring. When the mountains were full of flowers, she laughed in the bushes. ”
This poem is different from Lu You's poem "Fortune Operator Yongmei".
Lu You's poem wrote about the loneliness and nobility of plum blossoms, and praised the proud and unyielding spirit of plum blossoms.
This poem describes the beauty and optimism of plum blossoms, revealing an uplifting power.
At this time, Duan Qirui of the Beiyang government was in power, the Nationalist government in Guangzhou was in a corner, Sun Zhongshan was critically ill, and the Song family was deeply trapped in the whirlpool of politics, and the future was uncertain.
This poem was given to Miss Song Jiasan. I hope she can face everything optimistically.
The plum blossom is a metaphor for people, not only praising her beauty, but also persuading her not to worry, and when the wind and snow are over, when the mountains are full of flowers, her happiness will come.
Sure enough, seeing this poem, the third lady was extremely satisfied, and she also understood Lin Zixuan's good intentions.
"You know me. I will spare you. She put away the manuscript paper and said generously.
In the past few days, she has met a lot of people in Iron Lion Hutong and learned a lot of things. The mood was inevitably low, and I felt much better after talking to Lin Zixuan for a while.
It's just that. When I thought of the second sister's future life, I was a little worried. She came to Lin Zixuan, and she also had the meaning of confiding.
Lin Zixuan didn't know how to comfort her. I thought of a solution.
"I've flipped through a few photo books before, so let's look at palmistry for you, you can predict good and bad." Lin Zixuan said nonsense.
"Okay, then you have to look at it, and you can't go without paying." Although she knew that Lin Zixuan was talking nonsense, Miss Song still stretched out her hand and said cooperatively.
"Judging from palmistry, you will be rich and prosperous in the future, and the Song family will also prosper, so you can rest assured." Lin Zixuan glanced at it casually and asserted directly.
"You're too good at acting, you're so perfunctory, at least be serious." The third lady was dissatisfied.
"Well, what more do you want to ask?" Lin Zixuan had no choice but to continue.
"Then tell me about my marriage?" The third lady rolled her eyes and deliberately made a mistake.
"This, it's really hard to say." Lin Zixuan excused himself.
"What's so hard to say, can't I get married?" Miss Song Jiasan pretended to be angry.
"It's not, you remember my words, and you'll know when 'Jiang' comes." Lin Zixuan punned on his words.
"Remember what you say? Don't play pantomime. The third lady asked.
"That's it, you'll know when 'Jiang' comes." Lin Zixuan repeated.
"I'll naturally know in the future, and I still need to say it." Miss Song Jiasan said with disdain.
She didn't continue to embarrass Lin Zixuan, but it was just for fun, which made Lin Zixuan breathe a sigh of relief.
Anyway, he had already hinted at it, and as for whether he could understand it, it was the third lady's own business.
After a few days, Xu Zhimo really went to Europe to avoid the limelight, and it will be at least a few months before he returns.
This time, he set out from Beiping to the Soviet Union, and from the Soviet Union to Europe, he made a big circle.
It was this passage through the Soviet Union that made him suspicious and wary of the country, and the initial praise turned into criticism.
He believed that everything in the Soviet Union was fake, and it was deliberately done for outsiders to see.
He wrote: "When Soviet Russia entertained foreign celebrities, it was often prepared in advance, and the long was too strong to cover up the short, and so on. ”
Xu Zhimo admired Tolstoy and went to visit Tolstoy's daughter.
As a result, he learned that in the Soviet Union, the books of Tolstoy, Turgenev, Dostoevsky and others were almost extinct, and some of them were banned by the Soviet government because their writings represented the bourgeois outlook on life.
Xu Zhimo sighed with emotion: "If one day, you want to read a book by a certain author, which is Tolstoy's, but someone tells you that not only can you no longer buy his book, but you can no longer read the book if you have it - what do you think?" ”
It can be said that this trip to the Soviet Union affected Xu Zhimo's outlook on life and made him more convinced of Western liberalism.
In Beiping, Lin Zixuan also met Shen Congwen.
Since Sun Fuyuan resigned from the supplement of the "Morning Post", Shen Congwen's article has also been published in the "Morning Post".
Coupled with other incomes, although I have not completely escaped poverty, I can finally live a good life.
Shen Congwen's writing has been greatly improved, and the vernacular novels he writes have been appreciated by some people, and the number of readers has gradually increased.
Among them, Lin Zixuan spared no effort to help him recommend and played a great role.
He has been widely acclaimed in the literary world for promoting new talents, and Vientiane Book Company has discovered many new writers who have made their mark in the literary world and achieved success.
Many people think that Lin Zixuan's vision is very accurate, and the writers he values have a talent for writing.
Even a newcomer who is completely unknown can open his mind and write a good article after his click, which is really amazing.
Only Lin Zixuan himself knows that this is not magical, but he has heard the names of those people in later generations, which will attract his attention, he does not have the power to turn decay into magic, mainly because of the efforts of those people themselves.
His contribution is to provide an opportunity for those who are new to the literary world.
Sometimes, chance can change a person's fate. (To be continued.) )
