In the dining room, there were cups and laughter, and the temperature was at least twenty degrees higher than outside, Lin Wenjing's face suddenly turned red, and he quickly took off the long scarf wrapped around his neck.

The people shuttling back and forth were all blonde and blue-eyed Western women, all of them wearing evening dresses with bare chests and backs, so shocked that Lin Wenjing stretched out her little tongue from time to time, she wore a velvet hat on her head and forgot to take it off, and a small red pom-pom dangled on it, which was extremely cute.

Chen Zikun took a drink and handed it to Lin Wenjing: "Miss Lin, try this." ”

"Is this wine? Is it spicy or not? Lin Wenjing tilted her head and looked at the black glass of liquid with bubbles.

"It's not spicy, it's sweet." Chan said with a smile.

Lin Wenjing tasted it, and it was really sweet and delicious.

"Hee-hee, it's delicious." Lin Wenjing tilted her neck and drank the drink, and handed the empty cup to Chen Zikun: "Uncle, I still want it." ”

As she spoke, a trace of hair fell out, and she raised her hand and swept it, her white fingers, her red goose egg face, the inadvertent girl's shyness and the sound of uncle, which made Chen Zikun feel that his nose was about to gush out.

"Oh, uncle will get it for you again." Chen Zikun reached out to take the soda bottle, but he was uncertain but he knocked down a bottle of gin, and seeing that the wine bottle was about to fall to the ground and shatter, he hooked his toes and kicked the bottle up, and his heart was still pounding.

"Calm, you must be calm." Chan admonished himself.

"Uncle, what's this called?" Lin Wenjing asked, suddenly burping, which frightened herself, and quickly covered her mouth, looking left and right with her eyes, like a frightened deer.

"It's called coca-cola, and it's going to burp when you drink it." Chen Zikun smiled, as soon as the words came out, he was stunned in his heart, how do I know the name of this thing?

"Oh" Lin Wenjing nodded obediently, she herself wondered why she was so relaxed and casual in front of this strange man.

Suddenly, there was a shout from behind him: "Sister." ”

Lin Wenjing turned around, and immediately frowned: "Sister Huiyin." ”

A little girl with braids excitedly took Lin Wenjing's hand, turned her head and shouted, "Daddy, my sister is also here." ”

Her father heard the sound and came, it was the middle-aged man who was stolen by Chen Zikun for the invitation, and when he saw Lin Wenjing, he said, "Oh, Wenjing is also here, where is your father?" ”

Lin Wenjing secretly said that it was not good, she actually met her uncle and cousin so coincidentally, if this reached her father's ears, she would not want to be free in the future, she hurriedly covered up: "I ...... I came with my classmates. ”

As soon as she said this, Lin Changmin naturally set his eyes on Chen Zikun on the side, secretly wondering why this person didn't look like a student at all, and looked like a young master from a big family.

"Brother is Lin Changmin of the Foreign Affairs Committee, and he didn't consult Your Excellency?" Lin Changmin asked.

"Hello Mr. Lin, I'm Victor Chen, from Paris." Chen Zikun lied, his face did not change, his heart did not beat, and he bowed politely to Lin Changmin.

When Lin Changmin heard the word Paris, his eyes immediately lit up.

"Mr. Chen came from Paris, so he must have some understanding of the progress of the peace conference, and I heard that Gu Weijun's speech on the Shandong issue at the peace conference made the representatives of all countries admire him and promote the prestige of China overseas."

Chen Zikun gasped, he didn't know anything about Gu Weijun or Shandong issues, but he still pretended to know it and said lightly: "Mr. Gu came forward, it must be a success." ”

The adults here were talking, and Lin Wenjing over there was also holding Lin Huiyin's little hand and chattering, probably asking her to keep it a secret and not to reveal the news that she had been here.

Lin Hui couldn't help nodding and holding back a smile, but Lin Wenjing's eyes widened, her face was serious, seeing the two girls with such expressions, Lin Changmin couldn't help but laugh dumbly, and asked Chen Zikun: "Do you know your brother?" ”

Chen Zikun said: "When I went to the Ministry of Education on business the day before yesterday, I had a one-sided acquaintance with Mr. Lin Zhimin. ”

Lin Changmin nodded, at this time, Lin Huiyin ran over and bit his father's ear, a smile gradually appeared on his face, it seems that he guessed correctly, his niece ran out to play, and it has nothing to do with the young man who returned from overseas in front of him.

Just as he was about to talk about Paris again, someone suddenly shouted: "I suggest that I toast the wonderful speech made by Gu Weijun, the chief representative of our delegation, at the Paris Peace Conference." ”

Everyone's attention was concentrated, only to see one person raise his glass and say: "Gu Weijun's speech has been congratulated by US President Wilson, British Prime Minister Robert Law, as well as Belfour, Lan Xin and others. ”

There was a round of applause below, even the Europeans and Americans did not hesitate to applaud themselves, Lin Changmin clapped his hands even more enthusiastically, he is the head of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the Presidential Office, and he has a very clear grasp of every move at the Paris Peace Conference, and Gu Weijun's speech this time has indeed added a lot of color to the delegation and the Republic of China.

Someone below said in a loud voice: "On the other hand, the speech of the Japanese representative Makino was very accented and indistinct, and it is estimated that the participants did not understand what he was talking about at all." ”

There was a burst of laughter, Europeans and Americans have long understood the foreign language level of the Japanese, and the news from Paris confirmed that Makino's speech was indeed very different from Gu Weijun's speech.

Suddenly, someone shouted, "Do you people rely on this to comfort yourself?" ”

The restaurant was quiet for a while, and I saw a sturdy man standing up, wearing a navy blue stand-up collar rib short top, the collar and cuffs embroidered with a black cartouche military rank symbol, and a European-style command knife hanging from his waist, he sneered in stiff Chinese: "China participated in the war, and before an inch of merit, it regarded itself as a victorious country, don't you even have the slightest shame, Qingdao and Jiaoji Railway, our Japanese emperor ** snatched it from the Germans with blood, is it with a few fluent words of English, do you want to take it back!" ”

At first, some people whispered jokes that this person's Chinese was not standard, but when it came back, the restaurant was already silent, and every Chinese present felt that their faces were hot, as if they had been slapped in the mouth.

The war in Europe has ended, China has been wavering on the issue of participating in the war, President Li Da and Premier Duan quarreled over this, and finally took the last train of the Entente, the blind cat hit the dead mouse and became a victorious country, this is a rare victory since the end of the Qing Dynasty, the whole country is in high spirits, and many scholars believe that China can embark on the road of prosperity and strength from then on.

However, the words of this Japanese woke them up from their self-absorbed dreams, no matter how wonderful Gu Weijun's speech was and how fluent his English was, it was obviously impossible to drive away the Japanese troops who had occupied the Qingdao and Jiaoji railways.

The fireworks outside the window broke the embarrassing situation, and everyone flocked to the window to enjoy the colorful fireworks, which were imported from Europe, and Chinese firecrackers were not the same, often emitting four or five colors, forming geometric patterns in the air, and the sky was full of light, like a fairy tale world.

"It's just these tricks and tricks, and China is lagging behind." In a series of explosions, Chen Zikun heard a sigh and turned his head to look, Lin Changmin's thin face was reflected in a strange brilliance by the light of the fireworks, while Lin Wenjing and Lin Huiyin, the two little sisters, were completely stunned by this strange scene, looking up at the sky, indulging in this gorgeous world.

The party continued, but everyone's interest had been spoiled by the ignorant Japanese, and no one mentioned the topic of international politics anymore, but they were talking about some fashionable goods that had been popular recently, and a few Japanese officers poured a lot of foreign wine with great interest, and from time to time they made loud noises, and a few guys even sang military songs.

When the wine is hot, the music plays, the men walk to their favorite lady, and the dance begins.

Lin Wenjing had already finished watching the fireworks, looking at the wall clock on the wall, the time was not early, and she was just about to say goodbye to her uncle and sister, when she suddenly heard a scream in the corner.

Dozens of eyes were cast over, and I saw a beautiful Chinese girl walking out of her seat angrily, followed by the Japanese officer who had just spoken.

"Your rejection of me is an insult to the Great Japanese Empire, and you are responsible for it!" The Japanese shouted, his voice visibly drunk.

The musicians just paused for a moment, and then continued to play the violin, men and women love, competing for the wind and jealousy, a common thing in the social circle of Fengyue Field, not unusual.

"Why should I dance with you, you little Japanese shorty, Miss Ben just hates you, what's wrong!" That Chinese girl is sharp and fierce, and others have long recognized that this spicy chick is the daughter of the Ministry of Communications Yao's family, Yao Yilei.

"Bagaya deer!" The Japanese officer roared, and actually raised his slap, although Yao Yilei was rude and willful, but it was all in front of Chinese who knew how to pity fragrant and cherish jade or Europeans and Americans with chivalrous demeanor, who had never seen this kind of barbaric guy who was slightly disobedient to his wishes and raised his hand to beat people.

So she was stunned for a moment and forgot to dodge, but the slap did not fall, but was tightly grasped by the other hand.

Yao Yilei opened her mouth wide, looking at the hero who came out of nowhere, wow, what a tall man, two heads taller than the Japanese, with a straight night dress, shiny leather shoes, neatly combed back his hair, a familiar face, and the most charming thing is his two mustaches, just like a star in a movie.

The Japanese officer was also stunned, he didn't expect anyone to dare to stop him, but what happened next surprised him even more.

"Bagaya deer!" The man's roar was a few points louder than his, coupled with his condescending majesty, which made him involuntarily stand upright, and then two big-eared posts drew up, hitting him staggering.

"Hay!" Although he was beaten to the core, he still stood up straight with his heels together, because he was simply pretending to be crazy with alcohol, but in fact, he knew very well in his heart that he was just a small army lieutenant, and the person in front of him was probably a senior in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and it was natural to beat himself.

Yao Yilei was disappointed for a while, it turned out that the heroes who acted bravely were also Japanese, which was really boring.

"I'm Fujita Heng, a lieutenant in the Tianjin garrison, may I ask my senior's name?" Lieutenant Fujita asked respectfully.

"Less is close to Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu is Chinese!" Chen Zikun said proudly.
