Chapter 32: Talking Back

The vernacular translation of "Sherlock Holmes" was published in the last edition of "Declaration" every day on New Year's Day in 1930, and it was published under the name of Zhang Jiayu.

The translation is easy to understand and the response is very good, and there are many special terms for forensic medicine in the article, which are talked about by readers. Shylock. Sherlock Holmes's witty, extraordinary observation, and suspenseful twists and turns of the case made readers full of interest and wrote letters asking for more space, and Lao Tian consulted Shen Mengxi's opinion, and finally continued to write 1,500 words a day. However, the declared sales volume has increased a lot.

Someone published an article belittling the fact that the translation did not reach the level of the original work, and that women should not get involved in the detective field.

Some people also countered this kind of sexism, believing that Zhang Jiayu is a typical representative of the new woman, who did not languish because of divorce, but on the contrary, she walked out of her own path, and she was heroic and not inferior to men.

In Shen Mengxi's opinion, he is suspected of being an exhibitionist, and almost all of his private life is in front of the public, and the diary letters and private affairs between husband and wife are to be shown off to the newspaper, and a copy of "Yunxia Diary" has been published, which are all correspondence and diaries during the love between the two.

Shen Mengxi is really past the age of being moved by love letters, she can see the man from the top of her head to the soles of her feet at a glance, she is nothing more than a very possessive person, she refuses to give up on the woman she can't ask for, she does not hesitate to abandon her wife and children at home, and whitewash it with noble love.

After the outside world calmed down, the pressure from the family did not disappear, and Shen Mengxi did not expect it.

At a party organized by Zhang Jiasen, in front of many people, he suddenly reprimanded Shen Mengxi and said: "When I was in Germany, I warned you to pay attention to your behavior so as not to be misunderstood. Mother also earnestly taught, a woman's name is bigger than the sky, how can you be so confused, fortunately Shouqing is a gentleman, and all friends are also clear-eyed people, otherwise you can't wash it by jumping into the Yellow River! ”

's words, on the surface, are criticizing his sister, but in fact, they show the attitude of him and his mother, and it shows that Wang Shouqing is a gentleman, and the two are not reconciled.

But Shen Mengxi was still very hurt and didn't understand why the second brother said such things on such an occasion. Before this, except for Sun Shengyi, no one had asked her about it.

Hu Hongxing, who was next to Zhang Jiasen, was a little sneering, obviously he didn't expect Zhang Jiasen to suddenly say such a thing, and apologized to Shen Mengxi: "It's me who said a lot, I just mentioned Shouqing......"

"Of course, jumping into the Yellow River can't be washed, because the Yellow River is turbid." Shen Mengxi smiled sarcastically, "When I was in Cambridge Town, my second brother warned me not to have private contact with men for five years, so as not to let the world misunderstand that Xu Shizhe filed for divorce because of my water-based Yang Hua, so as not to lose the face of the Zhang family." I basically did, and I didn't contact any men except for my teachers and classmates at school. It turns out that the freedom of love in this world is for you men, which woman do you like, which one can be free, right? Our feudal dross has not been sunk in the pond, so we should really go to the temple to worship. ”

After speaking, many people's faces changed.

Zhang Jiaxuan was rejected by her sister in public, annoyed and ashamed, and looked at Shen Mengxi angrily.

Shen Mengxi stood up, "It's really boring, this double standard is really difficult to implement." You, divorced, you are divorced, you, not separated, and you...... Haha, does your girlfriend's fallen fetus cry at night? A group of scumbags who insult women under the banner of freedom of love! ”

Shen Mengxi showed an expression of extreme disgust, "Although I am a woman, I have never been worthy of my heart when I behave in a proper manner!" In the future, whoever slanders me in front of me and behind my back, my mother will knock on the door! After saying that, he smashed the cup in his hand to the ground and walked away.

I didn't see Zhao San'er when I went out, I probably didn't expect her to come out so early, where to go to work.

Shen Mengxi was wearing half-high heeled leather shoes, a skirt on her body, and a small cloak outside.

Recently, I have not had enough restraint, and I always want to tear something up and vent it. She is incompatible with this world, and the Republic of China at this time has just jumped out of feudal society, half new and half old. There are many talented and talented people, but the way they deal with their feelings makes her feel unacceptable, and the more excellent people are, the more they can't accept their abuse, even though it has nothing to do with her.

She suddenly didn't want to stay in Shanghai, and she didn't want to stay in China, she was a woman, she couldn't change the pattern of the country, she couldn't change the war situation, she just stayed away, she didn't belong to this era, why should she let herself feel guilty like treason.

Thinking about it, his hand hurt, and the leather bag he was carrying was snatched away, and when he turned around, a man in gray clothes was running wildly, carrying her leather bag in his hand, and there was nothing important in the small leather bag, just a few oceans, and he carried it in order to match the skirt.

A fire surged into his heart, Shen Mengxi took off a leather shoe, aimed at the person and threw it, the leather shoe spun and flew out, the heel hit the back of the man's head, the man screamed and fell to the ground, Shen Mengxi had already rushed over barefoot, stepped on his back, grabbed the leather bag with one hand, picked it up and hit it, the man screamed and screamed for mercy, Shen Mengxi hit until he was exhausted before stopping.

Finally out of breath.

"Hahahaha!" Someone in the crowd of onlookers laughed insolently, Shen Mengxi glanced back, it was actually Zhang Hanqing, she glanced at him angrily, found her shoes, and walked away.

A Buick car drove over and followed her, "Professor Zhang, get in the car, I'll take you home." ”

"No, you don't! My brother told me to avoid suspicion from all men! ”

"Hahahaha!" Zhang Hanqing seemed to hear something particularly funny, and he couldn't stop laughing. "If you don't get in the car, I'll follow you all the time!"

Shen Mengxi stared at him and remembered nine hundred and eight. Shen Mengxi took out a whistle and blew it violently.

Zhang Hanqing was stunned, smiled and drove away.

She's willing to blow the whistle, but will anyone listen?

Shen Mengxi's angry denunciation of the "heroes" has not been reported in the newspapers, probably everyone has a weak heart.

But Zhang Jiasen did not contact her again until a long, long time later.

Zhang Jiaxuan found Shen Mengxi, trembled with anger, and pointed at her with his finger, "How can you do this?" Second brother is for your good! ”

"Then I have to think good! Even for a child, you can't say that on that occasion! ”

"He's your brother, of course he has the right to say that!"

"Daddy can't do it either!" Shen Mengxi remembered Mr. Liang's reprimand at Xu Shizhe's wedding, and they didn't dare to refute it from beginning to end, so they could only beg bitterly. and despise their folly in their hearts.

"I won't dare to mind your business in the future!" Zhang Jiaxuan sat down in frustration.

Shen Mengxi couldn't help but redden, "I just want to suppress me?" Is it to humiliate me in public? Then you don't care, let me fend for myself! ”

Zhang Jiaxuan's face was flushed with anger, and he finally shook his head and left Shen Mengxi's house.

Helen came to the side of Shen Mengxi, who was standing still, "If a woman doesn't get married, her temper will be bad, Xiaoyu, you really should get married." Seeing Shen Mengxi's face, he waved his hand again and again, "I didn't say anything, I'm going to make sausages, making sausages." ”

******

Shen Mengxi came to Mrs. Lin's house, and Ah Fang said that the old lady was reciting scriptures, and she would be fine immediately.

She sat on the couch and took a book out of her purse to read.

Lin Yuesheng walked in from outside, and Shen Mengxi stood up: "Big brother."

Since Mrs. Bailin became a godmother, she called Lin Yuesheng the eldest brother, and Lin Yuesheng called her the little sister.

"Little sister." As soon as he sat down, Lin Yuesheng said bluntly: "The matter of the photo, I can't continue to investigate." ”

"Then don't investigate, the outside world has calmed down, and I don't plan to make another disturbance." Shen Mengxi replied.

"Don't you wonder who instigated it?"

"Did anyone instruct me?" Shen Mengxi smiled, "I didn't offend anyone, and I didn't get in anyone's way, would anyone deliberately harm me?" ”

"I was also going to find that kid and beat him up, who knows the soft bones, and he has recruited everything before he fights, I followed the investigation, but the clues went to the northeast, your eldest brother's ability is not enough, and he is ashamed of his trust in his little sister."

Shen Mengxi was startled, and wrote a word on the table with tea, and Lin Yuesheng nodded.

"Is it accurate?"

Lin Yuesheng nodded again.

"No need to look it up. Although I don't know the reason, it's not suitable to check. Shen Mengxi smiled and wiped the water stains away with a handkerchief, "It's not a big deal, my little sister is already very grateful to my eldest brother for causing you so much trouble."

"Haha, you're so polite to me." Lin Yuesheng suddenly smiled a little slyly, "I heard that you made a big fuss about your second brother's family, and pointed your nose and scolded those bullshit literati over and over again!" ”

"Ahem, big brother, don't mention it again, I'm annoyed to death, I want to see a Chinese medicine doctor, I've been too grumpy lately." Shen Mengxi covered his face.

"The person who is really close to you will not choose his words, you know that he will not retaliate against you, and you know that he will not hold grudges. I'm very uncomfortable when you're so polite to me! Lin Yuesheng looked at Shen Mengxi half-truthfully and said.

Shen Mengxi glared at Lin Yuesheng in surprise, not knowing what to say. The heart said, "Isn't it okay that we've been as polite as we were just now?"

Old Madam Lin came out of the small Buddha hall, paused her crutches and said, "Jiayu, you still don't beat him for me!" My sister respects you, and you still pick your nose and eyes! ”

Lin Yuesheng and Shen Mengxi both laughed.

"Jiayu, since ancient times, women have to be docile, you are so strong, it will be very hard. I should be glad you were a man, but you weren't. You must know how to regress in a timely manner, tolerate and show weakness in a timely manner, and the road ahead will be much easier. After Mrs. Lin sat down, Lin Yuesheng pondered for a moment and said.

Old Madam Lin also nodded again and again.

"Then I'll be sick." Shen Mengxi smiled, "Godmother, big brother, don't worry, I will adjust myself and don't let you worry about it!" ”

"It's not quite well-behaved, your mother told me back then, you came back from abroad, your mouth was stiff, and you didn't tell her a single intimate word."

"I don't remember." Shen Mengxi couldn't help but scratch his hair.

"Don't listen to your brothers, the reputation is theirs, the days are your own, if you meet the right one, take another step, what generals and soldiers, as long as they are sincere to you, marry him!" Mrs. Lin touched her hand, "In this world, it is easy to ask for priceless treasures, and it is rare to have a lover." Look at your eldest brother, he has four daughters-in-law at home, and he is still worried about the one who can't get it outside, such a person can't be found! You know? ”

Lin Yuesheng smiled bitterly on the side, "Mother spared me." ”

"The eldest brother is a heroic hero, one in ten thousand, it is the hardest time to be the wife of this kind of person, but to be a younger sister, it is very happy!" Shen Mengxi stretched out his thumb to Lin Yuesheng.

When Mrs. Lin heard this, she smiled and squinted, and hurried Lin Yuesheng away, "Why don't you leave quickly, I want to chat with Jiayu!" ”
