Zhang Hanqing's love for dancing really deserves its reputation, and the academic exchange between the two schools has turned into an entertainment exchange in the second half.

After returning from riding a horse and shooting a target, Zhang Hanqing held a dance party in one of his mansions that night to entertain the delegation of Huaguang University and the representatives of the Nationalist Government.

When it comes to dancing, it is difficult for Principal Zhang and others, but Shen Mengxi is the least proficient.

Zhang Hanqing invited her to dance a song, she stepped on people's shiny leather shoes twice, and finally finished the song, and sat in the corner drinking a bottle of Coca-Cola. - She has no interest in dancing and doesn't understand the joy of two people hugging in circles.

Shen Mengxi noticed that most women came forward to invite Zhang Hanqing to dance, and he usually agreed. Skillful dancing skills and chic dancing posture are always the focus of the dance field.

She is looking down and thinking about whether she wants to take the opportunity to go to Harbin to have a look, and there will be fewer opportunities to go in the future. A person stood opposite her, raised his head and looked, it was actually Wang Shouqing, Shen Mengxi smiled, "General Wang, you are also here Shen, come to Fengtian!" ”

"Miss Zhang can call me Shouqing."

"You're coming along?" Shen Mengxi's chin pointed at the dancing old men.

"Yes, they have something important to do. I'm going to Harbin in two days to deal with some things. ”

Shen Mengxi's eyes immediately widened, startling Wang Shouqing.

"Miss Mo Feizhang wants to go to Harbin?"

Shen Mengxi nodded again and again.

"Then, if you don't dislike it, you might as well walk with me." Wang Shouqing said with a smile.

"Great idea!" Shen Mengxi high-fived, "When I say hello to the principal, I am worried about the trouble of going on the road alone, and you will be sent down by God, haha, if you can get General Wang all the way, it will be really my luck!" ”

"What are you two talking about, so happy!" Zhang Hanqing finished a dance music, walked over, and the two men shook hands and sat down.

"I'm talking about going to Harbin."

"Are you really planning to open a clothing store in Harbin?"

"No, I'm just curious, I want to go to the little Paris of the East to see, I didn't have a chance before, but now I've gone to Mukden, it's a pity not to go."

"Brother Shouqing will also go with you, and Miss Zhang's safety will be guaranteed. Go back, I'll let someone give that Browning to Miss Zhang, haha, everyone else gives beauty roses, but I give a pistol! Because you deserve it! ”

Shen Mengxi pretended to wipe a cold sweat, "I almost thought you were going to say that I was too ugly to deserve a rose!" ”

"Hahaha!" Zhang Hanqing burst into a hearty laugh.

Then he instructed the adjutant, "Go, get that Browning ready for Miss Zhang!" ”

"No, no, no, I can't afford such a valuable gift!"

"No, you can afford it! Women are delicate and cute, but sassy and heroic are also unique scenery! Zhang Hanqing waved his hand, "Prepare more bullets!" ”

When the dance was over, the adjutant presented the pistol, Shen Mengxi couldn't hide his smile, his eyebrows were overjoyed, and he smiled sincerely at Zhang Hanqing for the first time.

Zhang Hanqing smiled and said a little ambiguously: "It turns out that Miss Zhang laughed like this!" ”

Shen Mengxi's smile froze and coughed.

"Two hundred rounds of ammunition, and an extra magazine, is it enough for fun?" Zhang Hanqing patted the box containing the bullets.

"Never too much. I don't play with guns, my guns are only used to destroy my murderers, and invaders! Shen Mengxi said.

Zhang Hanqing and Wang Shouqing were stunned for a moment.

"What? The great powers have invaded our country for nearly a hundred years, and even you are numb? ”

Wang Shouqing's face suddenly turned red, and Zhang Hanqing also had a somewhat complicated expression.

Without waiting for them to say anything, Shen Mengxi put the pistol into his purse, "Please Adjutant Xu help me deliver the bullets to the car, thank you!" ”

He turned his head to look at Zhang Hanqing again, and nodded, "Thank you very much for your generous gift, I will definitely repay you if I have the opportunity!" Farewell. ”

******

On the second day, President Zhang and the others returned to Shanghai by train, while Shen Mengxi stayed, and on the third day, he went to Harbin with Wang Shouqing and his adjutant.

Harbin is more than ten degrees colder than Fengtian, Shen Mengxi is not afraid of the cold, she stayed in the Modern Hotel, put down her luggage, and first went to China Street, the road is paved with stones, shops on both sides, not far away, there is a telephone pole, the wire whimpered in the north wind. A horse-drawn carriage drove by, and Wang Shouqing told her that it was a beer inside.

"Drinking beer so cold?"

"Foreigners are strong, and some people like to have a few drinks in winter."

"Foreigners are physically strong, only we are Chinese, and we are the sick men of East Asia......" Shen Mengxi looked at the carriage in the distance and said slowly.

Wang Shouqing pursed his lips, clenched his fists, and said nothing.

At this time, Harbin was not inferior to Shanghai, with many French and Gothic style buildings.

Wang Shouqing used to be the director of the police department here, and he was very familiar with Harbin, so he found a car and took her to see the French Consulate, the Portuguese Consulate, the Soviet Consulate General, the Japanese Consulate General, the Polish Consulate, the Italian Consulate, the United States Consulate General, the German Consulate, the Danish Consulate, the British Consulate, and the Czech Consulate. Shen Mengxi took the camera that Laura gave him before returning to China, and kept taking pictures, the most magnificent buildings in the city are these foreign consulates, and at the end of the photo, Shen Mengxi's mood became heavier and heavier.

The next day, I saw the Church of Nicholas, the Church of the Dormition of the Virgin, the Church of St. Sophia, and the banks of various countries.

Wang Shouqing took her to Songpu Foreign Company, Cuihua Gold Store, Rishengheng Department Store, Tongji Shopping Mall and Futai Silk and Satin Store, Shen Mengxi bought some gifts for family and friends, passed by Post Street, bought envelopes and stamps, stamped, and received Wuling Space. He also asked Wang Shouqing's adjutant to run errands to exchange the currencies of various countries.

The two went to Victoria Cafe and Tea Shop on China Street, a Russian-style café, and Shen Mengxi saw that the top of the small building on the second floor was engraved with Russian letters, and the transliteration was not Victorian.

"When I was here, my name was Miniajur, and it seems like I just changed my name."

The two entered the café, the door jingled and a Russian girl said in Minoru Chinese: "Welcome, two inside, please!" ”

The two sat by the window and ordered two cups of coffee and a snack.

Looking at the Russian-style building across from the coffee shop, "I think Lin Huiya would prefer to come here." ”

"You have nothing to do with Lin Huiya?"

"Without Lin Huiya, there will be Zhang Huiya. I didn't hate her, probably because I didn't care about Xu Shizhe. Shen Mengxi thought for a moment and replied.

Wang Shouqing was a little anxious to clarify something, and then said: "I don't hate Shizhe either. ”

"Haha, don't explain it, the people of the whole country know that you are a seed of infatuation......" Seeing Wang Shouqing's face change drastically, he hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm a little forgetful." ”

Wang Shouqing shook his head, "Last year, I accidentally learned that she privately killed my child in order to marry Shizhe, and since then there is no such person in my heart." Not remarrying is just a disappointment in marriage, what about you, Miss Zhang has never been married, has she never forgotten Shizhe? ”

"I feel more comfortable alone. It's not that you can't live, why should you accommodate others to change your own life. ”

"It makes sense, a woman's financial freedom is very crucial, Miss Zhang has a rich dowry and the ability to make money, so she is indeed qualified and does not need to look at people."

"You're not angry?"

"Nope."

"Alas, I have a shortcoming, once I get acquainted, I am easy to lose my words."

"Miss Zhang doesn't need to explain, I'm not narrow-minded, and I'm not a fragile person." After speaking, he smiled, "Have you heard rumors from the outside world and thought that I was depressed all day long and couldn't extricate myself?" ”

Shen Mengxi's eyes betrayed her, Wang Shouqing took a sip of coffee, "It is rumored from the outside world that you still love Shizhe deeply, and you often sing a poem in the middle of the night, which is listened to by the children and sung at Brother Jiazhang's wedding......"

"Stop! Stop, stop! Shen Mengxi hurriedly raised his hand to stop, "Wang Shouqing, your revenge is too strong!" ”

"Hahaha, that's right, we're all passively caught up in rumors, it's better to sympathize with each other."

On the third day, Wang Shouqing did not have time to accompany Shen Mengxi, so he sent an adjutant to follow her to continue shopping, and outside the door of a Japanese hospital, a couple sat in the snow, holding their children and crying bitterly.

"Adjutant Liu, park the car next to them."

Shen Mengxi got out of the car and stepped forward, "What's wrong with the child?" ”

The woman looked up sharply and cried and said, "Please, save my daughter!" Please, please! ”

Shen Mengxi took off his gloves and touched the child's forehead, "I have a fever, won't the hospital treat it?" ”

"We are from Jilin, my man is from Jilin Railway Bureau, they Japanese said that Harbin Hospital is good, we came by train, after two days, the child still has a fever, the money is spent, so we are thrown out!"

"Isn't there a doctor in Jilin? Can't you see Chinese medicine? In the winter, you have to take your children to suffer! ”

"There are doctors, they say that Western medicine is good, and it is convenient for us to come by car......" the woman muttered.

"Don't freeze the kids, where do you live?"

The two pointed to the west, "The Four Seas Hotel over there." ”

"Let's go, let's go to the hotel."

The two hesitated, but then got into the car with them.

"The child is just cold, and there is no need to go to Harbin City to see a doctor, you toss like this, but it makes her suffer a lot of crimes!" When he arrived at the hotel, Shen Mengxi examined the child.

After taking her temperature, she had a high fever of 39.7, Shen Mengxi gave her a fever-reducing injection, and left a few packets of pediatric fast-acting cold powder, the man looked at Shen Mengxi's syringe in surprise, "This, this seems to be different from what the Japanese use, can you do this?" The tone was skeptical.

From the very beginning, Shen Mengxi was particularly disgusted by men's admiration for Japan, and said angrily: "If you work on the Japanese railway for a few days, you won't be able to look down on Chinese things!" Why didn't your Japanese ancestors give your daughter medical treatment! Shen Mengxi grabbed the medicine, "Don't give it!" ”

The woman cried and slapped the man, "Get out of here!" Get out! ”

turned his head and begged Shen Mengxi, "Please, good man, give us the medicine, he is a bastard, don't worry about him, my daughter is the top of our hearts, he is confused!" ”

Shen Mengxi was also angry for a while, how could he watch a child dying and sit idly by.

"It's rare that you are not patriarchal, so I will give you the medicine for the sake of the children!" Shen Mengxi looked at the child whose face was gradually normal, felt his pulse, and probed his nose. "The child is nothing serious, you wait for her to be well, and then go home, the condition can't be repeated."

The woman was overjoyed, and she should have been.

"Little girl, what's your name!" The little girl woke up and opened her eyes, she was a very beautiful child, no wonder her parents regarded it as a treasure, Shen Mengxi touched her little hand and asked casually.

"It's called Li Huixian, and it's been half a day in my life!" The woman picked up the child and fed her some water.

Shen Mengxi didn't speak for a long time, she stared at the girl's face, and reached out to touch her face, "Take good care of her." ”

The girl was sick and crooked, and when Shen Mengxi touched her face, she actually smiled at her, and Shen Mengxi almost shed tears.

Before leaving, he gave the woman fifty oceans, "I have to eat these days, and I have to take a car when I go back." Take it! ”

"Oh my God, in what life have I accumulated virtue and met a good person like my wife! After inheriting such a big love, we won't be able to do it in our lifetime! ”

The woman was about to kneel gratefully, but Shen Mengxi hurriedly supported her, "I just feel that I have a fate with your daughter, so you don't have to be polite." "I want to say something not to trust the Japanese, but I feel depressed when I think about it, they work in the railway bureau, and they can escape the massacre and human experimentation in the future. Forget it.

"Benefactor, tell us your name, and when you go home, I will offer you an immortal tablet, and the Buddha will bless you with a long life!" The man outside the house also came in, and when he saw his daughter awake, he made a gesture again and again, and wanted to bow down again.

Shen Mengxi couldn't hear that they were benefactors again, and they were going to kneel. Throwing down the next sentence, my name is Shen Mengxi, and I left quickly, the woman behind her, still shouting loudly: "Buddha bless Mrs." ”
