Chapter 325: The Sorrow of the Nation
Zhao Dongyun looked at this younger brother, although this younger brother was only one year younger than himself, he looked much younger than himself, as if he was only twenty-two or three years old, and he had been studying on campus, and the director looked a little immature.
Looking at Zhao Dongquan, whose face was immature, Zhao Dongyun said, "What did my mother say?" ”
Zhao Dong's full length is actually not very similar to Zhao Dongyun, Zhao Dongyun is a bald head, medium figure, strong appearance, Chinese face, with a beard upturned in eight characters, not strong, but it gives people an extremely capable feeling, when Yuan Shikai first saw Zhao Dongyun, he gave him such an evaluation: A very energetic young man!
And with the increase of power and age, he looks more and more old, especially the eight-character mustache with upturned sides makes him the most typical image of Beiyang soldiers in this era.
Of course, not everyone thinks that Zhao Dongyun's image is positive, at least the media in the Southern Federation often call Zhao Dongyun 'Zhao Guangtou'.
And this Zhao Dongquan is completely different from Zhao Dongyun, although this person is also twenty-eight years old, but he still has the same immature face as a twenty-year-old young man, with an inch of hair and no beard, and his expression at this time is also slightly restrained.
The brother in front of him is completely different from his influential brother, although he already knew that his brother had become a pivotal figure in the country, the founder of the domestic republic, and the president of the republic, but when he really saw his brother, he found that the truth was bigger than he imagined.
At this moment, he seemed a little restrained: "I just came back from Tianjin yesterday, and my mother didn't agree!" ”
"It's reasonable that her old man doesn't agree, you should have expected this kind of thing when you brought that woman back to China!" Zhao Dongyun shook his head: "Do you still think that your mother will gladly accept you to marry an Oriental woman?" ”
Zhao Dongquan returned to China this year, but it was not one person who came back, but two people, he came back with his wife, to be precise, it was a Japanese wife.
Although the Zhao family said that the family style was open-minded, after the first day of the first year, Zhao's mother was able to make her eldest son Zhao Dongyun give up the traditional road of fame and turn to Tianjin Wubei School, although Zhao's mother also supported Zhao Dongyun's study tour to Germany, and later sent Zhao Dongquan, the second son, to study in Japan. This can be regarded as very open-minded for contemporary domestic families, but no matter how open-minded it is, there is a degree, especially for the marriage of Zhao Dongyun and the brothers, Zhao's mother can be said to be very resentful.
At the beginning, it was Zhao Dongyun, who married Fang Ruolian from a small household, and this Fang Ruolian is still a Catholic, after getting married, she has always opposed Zhao Dongyun's concubine and insisted on monogamy, which made Zhao's mother almost angry, even if the door is not right, anyway, as long as Zhao Dongyun likes her, it doesn't matter, but this Fang Ruolian still opposes Zhao Dongyun's concubine, and what is even more odious is that she has not seen her stomach rise after being married for many years, which makes Mrs. Zhao angry, but with the identity of her son gradually different, She also knew that the external environment no longer allowed this Fang Ruolian to give a letter of resignation, plus Fang Ruolian finally became pregnant at the end of last year after many years, and gave birth to a son in August this year, and Mrs. Zhao, who hugged her grandson, slowly accepted Fang Ruolian.
Mrs. Zhao was not satisfied with Ruolian enough, but this Zhao Dongquan was even more outrageous, she actually brought an Oriental woman home, and said that they had already held a wedding in Japan, and on the spot Mrs. Zhao said that there was no matchmaker, and the marriage was not counted, and asked Zhao Dongquan to marry another.
Zhao Dongyun doesn't intend to blame anything for his younger brother's behavior, everyone is an adult, but although Zhao Dongyun is possessed by the soul, to be honest, he doesn't have much affection for his family in this time and space, but people always need to make a gesture of filial piety, so many times in the eyes of the outside world, he Zhao Dongyun can be regarded as a filial son in other aspects except for rarely going home.
And it is understandable that ordinary people can't go home all year round, and the eunuch wanderer in this year is not him Zhao Dongyun alone, and it is the norm for officials not to return to their hometown for a few years or even decades after they become officials, and they go home either because of Ding Wei or because of Zhishi.
So on the surface, he still had to say a few words about Zhao Dongquan to defend Old Lady Zhao's thoughts!
"During this time, if you run around to Tianjin, your mother and her old man will always figure it out later! Brother and sister, don't take it to Tianjin first, just stay in Jingshi first, and I'll let your sister-in-law help you arrange it when you go back! ”
"Got it!" Zhao Dongquan nodded in agreement.
Zhao Dongyun said again: "Let's not talk about these family matters, now that you have returned to China, can your studies still be smooth?" ”
Hearing Zhao Dongyun ask about his studies, Zhao Dongquan said: "I have already completed my studies and obtained my degree certificate!" ”
Zhao Dongyun nodded: "That's good, otherwise, after studying for many years, I will use all my talents after learning, tell me what your plans are in the future?" ”
Zhao Dongquan heard Zhao Dongyun ask this, although he had already expected this day to come, he was still a little apprehensive in his heart, looked up at Zhao Dongyun's expression, and then said: "I think about it, let's see if I can go to Fengtian University or Jingshi University to find a job!" ”
Zhao Dongyun frowned unabashedly after hearing this: "You plan to engage in education?" ”
Zhao Dongquan said: "The politics and economics I studied is the shortcoming of China, whether it is Fengtian University or Jingshi University and other higher universities, there is a lack of professors in this kind of major, so I think ......"
Unexpectedly, he didn't speak yet, but Zhao Dongyun planned to speak: "Which aspect of domestic education is not a shortcoming now?" And there are so many returned international students in China, and there is no shortage of you to engage in education! ”
Zhao Dongquan immediately didn't care about being restrained, and immediately retorted: "I have been studying for many years, and the biggest feeling is that their education is strong, and my country's education level is low. ”
"So you're going to be a teacher?" Zhao Dongyun didn't expect that this younger brother would have this idea after returning to China, which was completely different from what he expected.
Although he doesn't have any feelings for the younger brother in front of him, others don't know that his soul is a descendant, so this younger brother is still one of the people he can rely on in this time and space, otherwise what did he send him to Japan to study back then?
You must know that Zhao Dongyun wanted to send this younger brother to Japan, and then be admitted to the army as a soldier, if he was in order, he would have a younger brother in the military as a help, but Zhao Dongquan was not admitted, and he was unwilling to return to China to study for the domestic military rank, but was admitted to Waseda University, otherwise Zhao Dongyun would not have transferred the training goal to Zhao Dongzhi.
This Zhao Dongquan did not join the army and went to study politics and economics, so Zhao Dongyun would forget it, and let him enter the Fuyuan Company of the family business to help or simply enter the government to help in the future. Well, not to mention Zhao Dongquan's personal relationship, just because he is a full-fledged university graduate is worthy of Zhao Dongyun's solicitation.
In contemporary China, don't look at the number of students studying in Japan, but in fact, 90% of them are all kinds of messy middle schools and language study graduates, well, just like Jiang Zhiqing. There are really not many people who have graduated from regular universities or other regular universities, especially those who have graduated from a few imperial universities.
Even if this Zhao Dongquan doesn't have a background identity, his talent is enough for other warlords to solicit, and it is very easy to get into politics, but this Zhao Dongquan is going to be a teacher? This made Zhao Dongyun a little incomprehensible.
"Even if you want to engage in education, then you can also work in the Ministry of Education, so that you can better develop domestic education!" Zhao Dongyun tried to persuade this younger brother.
But although Zhao Dongquan looks immature, he is stubborn enough, otherwise he would still marry that Japanese woman as his wife when the whole family would oppose it.
"If we all go to politics when we return to China, then who else will pass on what we have learned to the students in China?" Zhao Dongquan took a deep breath: "The greatest sorrow of our nation is not that our guns are not sharp enough, but that the most outstanding group of people have gone to politics and become officials. ”
Zhao Dongyun's face instantly darkened after hearing this, he could clearly hear the sarcasm and accusation in his words, to be honest, if someone else spoke like this in front of him, even if he endured it in person, he would definitely not be able to bear it behind his back. However, the one in front of him is his younger brother.
After taking a deep breath, Zhao Dongyun said: "Since you have ideals, then I won't say more!" ”
After waving his hand to let Zhao Dongquan go out, Zhao Dongyun's mood was a little not good, he got up and walked out, at this time the drinking party outside was almost over, and the guests had already begun to leave gradually, Zhao Dongyun was not interested in going out to show up again, but went back directly.
Passing through the long corridor, and then entering the flower hall of the back house, I just saw a woman wearing a dress and a long skirt walking out quickly, maybe she was in a hurry and didn't look outside the door, and the two of them bumped into each other together.
Although the people who came were in a hurry, Zhao Dongyun was also the one who was hit, but Zhao Dongyun's strong body was naturally fine, but his body shook slightly, but the young woman who hit him was directly hit and fell directly.
Zhao Dongyun took a step back slightly, then leaned over to help her up, and asked, "Is Miss okay?" ”
The woman let out an 'oops', then looked up at the person she bumped into, and the painful look on her face quickly changed to panic after seeing that it was Zhao Dongyun: "I'm sorry, President, I didn't mean to, I was just in a hurry just now!" ”
Zhao Dongyun looked at the woman who looked up at him, and this woman Zhao Dongyun recognized that it was Yu Wanling, the female translator who often followed Fang Ruolian. It's just that Yu Wanling at this time is different from what he usually sees.
At this time, Yu Wanling's face was full of expressions, with a look of pain, panic, and worry. Maybe it was because it hurt to be knocked down, or it was panicked, but after a blink of her big eyes, a few teardrops slipped down, like a lotus flower after being devastated by a storm.
