Chapter 198: Glory Days
In short, Zhao Chuanxin must get out.
Just as he was about to speak, a figure suddenly flashed.
"Mr. Zhao, is this your friend?"
Zhao Chuanxin turned his head and saw that it was Li Zining.
"Why are you everywhere?"
He was suddenly angry.
Zena Keith is suspicious, sneaking in, and still meeting acquaintances?
Especially a woman who is obviously deeply affected by the west wind, with beautiful looks and a high memory point on her face, which makes it easy to remember.
Li Zining was even more angry, she kindly came over to say hello, why couldn't she be polite to her?
Apparently, she didn't miss anything.
Zhao Chuanxin said: "There is a hamburger over there, oops, I'm really hungry, you talk, let's talk first." ”
As he spoke, he ran over and snatched the hamburger from the waiter's hand.
Zena Keith was confused.
And Li Zining couldn't figure out the situation.
After taking the hamburger, Zhao Chuanxin went out directly and went to the corner of the corridor to eat.
First, he was worried that Chao Haiguang would be suspicious, and secondly, he was also afraid that Zena Keith would be entangled.
Anyway, today the protagonist is not himself.
At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, the love between men and women was generally very stubborn, and it was also very mysterious.
For example, the Zena Keith in front of her, she clearly said that she was bankrupt, and with her personality, why didn't she even know how to retreat, and took the initiative to post it upside down? Shows you have a lot of money, don't you?
For example, some Kochi green tea in the later Republic of China period, there were countless scumbags, but some people loved them and loved them to die and live.
And Zhao Chuanxin, replaced by him, hehe...... Just come to scum him.
But if he moves a trace of emotion, Zhao Zi writes upside down!
Just thinking about these things, I saw that Li Zining actually followed.
Zhao Chuanxin was angry: "Why don't you have a ghost? ”
Li Zining was also furious: "You are a big hero, you are a rich man, but you can't be so high-minded, right?" Except for the first day, where did I offend you, except for the first day, we had some misunderstandings? I just wanted to apologize to you! ”
As she spoke, her own eyes turned red.
"Eh, you're really rich in inner drama, aren't you? Do I need you to apologize? Just do what you have to do. "Zhao Chuanxin is inexplicable." . ”
Saying that, he ate a burger in two bites, which can be called a giant mouth of the abyss.
"Why are you telling me to go?"
Zhao Chuanxin had an extra bottle of kvass in his hand, took a dry bite, and lowered the hamburger to his stomach.
"You worship foreign flattery, who will roll if you don't roll?"
Li Zining didn't feel that she admired foreign charm, she was very angry, and was attacked by Li Ziyu's habitual petty temperament, and pushed Zhao Chuanxin violently.
Hey, I'm rubbing, can Zhao Chuanxin get used to her problem?
Immediately pushed her hard, pushing her back against the wall.
The impact was not light, and after two seconds, Li Zining smashed it in one breath.
"You, you, you push me?" Li Zining thought that Zhao Chuanxin was the kind of man who didn't beat women. "Will you push it again?"
Zhao Chuanxin was happy: "Growing up so big, it's the first time I've heard such a peculiar request." ”
So, he stretched out his arm and pushed again and again, knocking Li Zining's back into DuangDuang.
In the distance, a waiter sneaked to the door of the restaurant, and was about to enter, when he suddenly heard a strange knock sound from the corner, and stretched out his head curiously......
I'm Cao, what's the situation?
He only vaguely saw a very beautiful woman, wearing a backless dress, her hair was permed into Western-style big waves, her back hit the wall again and again, and her mouth kept snorting.
His face turned red with shame, and he muttered angrily and suppressed his voice: "It's really morally degenerate, corrupt atmosphere, bad quality, declining world, people's hearts are not ancient, values are distorted, and stinky and shameless......"
scolded for half a minute, and watched it for half a minute, and then he suddenly reacted: I still have important things, how can I delay this kind of pickled matter?
So, I straightened up the waiter's uniform, straightened my waist, and pushed the door in.
His goal is - Zhao Chuanxin!
After entering the door, he walked straight towards Li Guangzong.
When Li Guangzong and Midun said that their mouths were dry, they went to the side to look for wine, and the waiter hurriedly came over with a glass of red wine.
Li Guangzong was stunned: "Thank you." ”
However, the waiter suddenly whispered, "Mr. Zhao, Mr. Sun Gongwu wants to see you." ”
At this time, Li Guangzong was really stunned: "Who?" ”
Seeing that Li Guangzong didn't seem to have heard of this pseudonym, the waiter leaned closer and muttered something in a low voice.
And Li Guangzong immediately narrowed his eyes.
A glint flashed behind the glasses.
After the waiter finished whispering, in order to avoid trouble, he moved away from the normal distance, lowered his voice and said, "Mr. Sun Gongwu wants to talk to you." ”
Li Guangzong glanced around first, but did not find Zhao Chuanxin.
This person obviously mistook him for Zhao Chuanxin.
But it didn't matter, he agreed after a little thought: "Time, place? ”
"The time is tomorrow morning, you can decide the location."
"Yes, then on the Shek O Peninsula, let's see you on the dragon's back."
The waiter was relieved, with a smile on his face, nodded at Li Guangzong and turned to go out.
After going out, he tilted his head and glanced at it, and there were no strange figures and movements there.
In fact, the strange figures and movements are still there, but in a different place.
Zhao Chuanxin pushed Li Zining's back numb, and it hurt.
Li Zining cried.
Zhao Chuanxin annoyed her, turned around and left when he saw this.
As for Li Zining, he didn't know what to think, so he chased after him while crying.
It's easy to misunderstand crying like this.
Zhao Chuanxin went into the dark, women must be afraid of the dark.
But Li Zining is like a dog skin plaster, and he has been following.
"You have to apologize to me."
Zhao Chuanxin didn't reply: "Say a few handfuls, get out!" ”
"You're a well-dressed beast, a sanctimonious hypocrite!"
"Phew, Lao Tzu is a real villain, who is rare to be a hypocrite?"
"You're not human."
"You're still a dog, Raiba!"
"You're not a man!"
Zhao Chuanxin Huo Ran turned around: "Have you tried?" Why don't I remember? ”
Li Zining was stunned for a moment, then became angry, raised his hand, and wanted to hit Zhao Chuanxin: "You scoundrel!" ”
Apparently she understood the meaning.
Phew, why are you pure!
Those with small arms and thin legs still dare to hit people?
Zhao Chuanxin grabbed her wrist and backhanded.
Syllable!
Li Zining was stunned.
Zhao Chuanxin slapped his forehand again.
Seeing that Li Zining was still stunned, he slapped him with his backhand.
Of course, he didn't do his best, but it also crackled, and Li Zining's face immediately turned red.
She was really stunned, this man is really unaccustomed to people!
It doesn't matter if you're a woman or not, just hit when you say you're beaten!
What good men don't fight with women, what big husbands don't beat weak women, there is no such thing here in Zhao Chuanxin.
He is even a handful of old ladies in Lugang Town, and he dares to sprinkle him.
If you provoke him, the queen mother will also slap the two mouths.
Not to mention Li Zining.
"You're so annoying, if you bother me again, I'll beat you to death, do you hear?"
I thought that this woman would either be scared silly or go crazy.
But what Zhao Chuanxin didn't expect the most was that Li Zining actually lowered his head and sneered: "Hmm." ”
Seeing this, Zhao Chuanxin's brain was buzzing.
I didn't look at the yellow calendar when I went out today, and I ran into a mental illness?
"I'm too lazy to pay attention to you!"
As he spoke, he reflexively walked back.
He deliberately took a big stride, after all, his height was there, and the speed at which he walked briskly, even if a woman trotted out, couldn't keep up.
When Li Zining trotted to catch up, he found that Zhao Chuanxin was gone.
She pushed open the door of the restaurant, and the restaurant was full of conversations, staggered and staggered, and the crisp sound of goblets clashing everywhere.
She saw the foreign woman she had just come into contact with Zhao Chuanxin.
The woman was talking to Midun about something. She walked over briskly to eavesdrop.
Zena Keith smiled with a mature smile: "Mr. Midun, thank you for the invitation today. ”
Listening to her accent, Midun knew that she was British, and she was also close to her.
"Miss Keith is polite, Mr. Chao Haiguang said before that your recent art exhibition has gone very well, and it seems that Miss Keith's skills have improved again."
"Just call me Zena." The West is not in vogue to be too humble, and Zena Keith said generously: "Yes, thanks to the guidance of a man who has a very high talent and attainment in painting." By the way, Mr. Midun, his name is Ethan Zhao, I don't know if you know it? ”
She asked sideways, trying to hide her emotions.
Ethan Cho?
Midun hadn't heard of it.
He recognized Zhao Chuanxin.
He shook his head and said, "Don't know, listen to the name, like Chinese?" ”
Zena Keith breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that Zhao Sang didn't lie to her, he might have really slipped in.
However, with his status, although he is now bankrupt, it is not surprising that he knows a few people from high society.
"Yes, he is Chinese." Zena Keith nodded. "Few Chinese have such a thorough understanding of Western art. If I have the chance, I will introduce you to him......"
Li Zining, who was listening next to him, rubbed his cheeks, which were no longer painful but hot. The heart said that this foreign woman and that hateful Zhao Chuanxin must have some dirty relationship.
Otherwise, why did she always inquire about Zhao Chuanxin.
Mi Dun may not understand carelessly as a man, but as a woman, she can see some clues on her expression whenever Zena Keith talks about Zhao Chuanxin.
Through the conversation, she also learned that Zena Keith has a Japanese husband and is present today.
Then this kind of relationship is even more dirty!
At this moment, a burly white man in a suit and leather shoes came to Li Zining's side.
"Hello."
"Hello."
Li Zining glanced at him and replied without being salty.
"Introduce yourself." The man said. "Contemptible Edgar Lee, Lieutenant of the United States Navy."
Before the change, Li Zining was still very willing to communicate, after all, the naval major is also a good title.
But after being smoked by Zhao Chuanxin today, and listening to this person's self-introduction, she was inexplicably irritable: "Okay, I know." ”
What?
You got it?
The man was a little confused.
He still continued: "That tall man, who came with the Lugang Town Charity Association, is the one who is not very polite to you, his name is Zhao, right?" ”
Li Zining was suddenly vigilant: "What are you asking for?" ”
Her brother Li Ziyu once told her about the US spy agency.
At the time of the American Revolution, there was already an intelligence agency called Moulton.
However, after the victory of the Revolutionary War, the United States began to pay less attention to foreign intelligence work, and even the "black room" engaged in code-breaking was closed.
Today, the intelligence work of the United States has long been in chaos, and the external affairs are jointly managed by multiple departments such as the State Affairs, the Army, and the Navy, and much of the intelligence has begun to become repetitive, trivial, and inefficient.
Many of the U.S. Navy that came to China,
In fact, in a way, they are all spies.
And Zhao Chuanxin's identity is too sensitive, Li Zining saw that this person inquired about Zhao Chuanxin, and immediately became vigilant.
She is not an ignorant woman of the market, and she is not easily fooled.
When the major heard this, he showed a harmless smile: "You misunderstood, I actually have something to find him, I want you to match, I just want to understand him first, if it happens, I won't let you help in vain, that's not the way of friends." ”
This is to buy Li Zining with money.
Many courtesans are also brokers.
The circulation of information is actually a kind of currency.
The Major gave you an understandable look.
Li Zining glanced at him coldly: "I don't want to accompany him!" ”
After speaking, he turned around and left, looking for Li Ziyu.
She was convinced that this man was not some kind of naval lieutenant.
At this time, Britain and the United States were not in harmony because of Japan.
She even suspected that this person had snuck in to spy on information. The things that Zhao Chuanxin did in the United States were enough to make Americans hate him to the core.
So, he quietly told Li Ziyu about it.
Sure enough, when the man saw Li Zining leaving coldly, he looked a little flustered, turned around and left the banquet hall.
Li Ziyu searched around, but didn't find Zhao Chuanxin, so he went to Li Guangzong's to make a small report.
Li Guangzong looked anxious when he saw him, and comforted him: "You don't know sir, it's okay, don't talk about one American spy, even if a hundred come, there will be no return." ”
“……”
Are you so confident?
Zhao Chuanxin is indeed very confident.
As a man, you can have no money and no power, but you can't get both without self-confidence.
He has already left the Island Hotel.
Walking in the seaside street, the sea breeze is blowing, and there is less noise of traffic, which is still quite enjoyable.
There was a short man with a thick beard and curly hair, carrying a musical instrument on his back, who went in and out of the street restaurants and taverns one by one, and was kicked out again and again.
Zhao Chuanxin walked towards him.
"Hey, are you carrying a guitar?"
The man replied in broken English, "Yes, sir." ”
Zhao Chuanxin came to be interested.
At this time, it was almost impossible to see a guitar in China.
Even when he was in the United States, he had never seen anyone play a guitar.
In the middle of the 19th century, due to the emergence of a number of famous performance masters for piano and violin instruments, the guitar entered a low ebb in music history.
The Segovia era of the guitar has not yet arrived, and the past glory has come to an end, and this is the time when the guitar suffers from the cold.
That is, Spaniards play guitar the most.
Looking at the appearance of the man in front of him, he should be a Spaniard.
"Sell me the guitar."
"Huh? That doesn't work, I need it, I live on it. ”
The Spaniard said a little nervously when he saw that Zhao Chuanxin was tall and big.
"How much did you buy it?"
"It's expensive, sir, it costs 30 yuan to buy a guitar!"
Musical instruments have always been expensive, even in later generations.
Zhao Chuanxin took out two stacks of silver dollars: "There are almost 40 here, sell them to me." ”
"It's not about the money."
"50 yuan, this is the final price, if you don't sell it, I'll leave."
"Deal!"
Zhao Chuanxin took the guitar and pulled it twice, and there was a sound.
As for the timbre, he didn't understand it at all.
But he can play only one and a half songs. At the beginning, he memorized it by rote, and the girl who taught him happened to use the classical guitar.
The Spaniard handed over his guitar, thanked him and ran away.
Zhao Chuanxin walked on the beach with his guitar, and arrived at the houseboat after a while.
The sea reflects the sparse stars, and the dew condenses the moon.
In the night, he saw the fisherman girl sitting in the bow of the boat, staring blankly at his houseboat.
When Zhao Chuanxin's footsteps landed on the boat, there was a lot of movement.
The fisherman girl turned her head and said with some surprise in her tone: "Are you back?" ”
Zhao Chuanxin smiled: "What are you doing?" ”
"I'll help you look at the ship, there are a lot of thieves during this time."
The little girl's heart is too real.
These small boats have to go out of the port every day to catch seafood, although they can't go far, but every time they come back, the anchoring location is different.
But the little girl's houseboat has always relied on Zhao Chuanxin's side.
Zhao Chuanxin looked around and found that there were only two small boats left alone here tonight.
No wonder the little girl is guarding here.
He sat down on the side of the ship.
The little girl asked curiously, "What are you holding?" ”
"This? It's called the guitar, and it's a Western instrument. ”
As he spoke, Zhao Chuanxin put the guitar horizontally, plucked the strings lightly, and looked for feelings and memories.
The fingers went from rusty to skillful, and it took at least a few minutes.
The little girl listened quietly with her chin in her hands, and watched, but she couldn't understand whether it was good or bad.
Finding some feelings, Zhao Chuanxin spoke:
I don't ask anyone to be able to understand it, let alone be merciful. Sympathy does not comfort me, but brings me to tears......
Then, stopped.
The little girl waited for a long time, her big eyes flickering: "Why don't you sing, it's very good." ”
Zhao Chuanxin smiled very shyly: "I will start this song." ”
When I first listened to this song, I thought the prefix was quite good, but I wasn't interested in the back.
At this time, most people lack entertainment, listen to operas, or listen to music, which must be done by people with solid family backgrounds.
The poor people are homely, and they talk about some people's gossip, which is probably entertainment.
When Zhao Chuanxin played the guitar and sang, a houseboat took the initiative to approach, and several fishermen anchored nearby, all around the side of the boat and looked at this side.
"Sing one more!"
"Well sung."
When one person makes noise, others also help.
They're too idle.
Zhao Chuanxin ignored them and winked at the little girl: "Do you still want to hear it?" ”
The fisherman girl nodded, and her braids flicked.
Plucked the strings again, this time with a softened tempo, and he played the same intro twice.
The eyes of the crowd lit up.
Listening to the music at this time, it's all drama, where have you heard this from Zhao Chuanxin?
The bell rang to call home, and in his life, it seemed to be a little embarrassing.
The meaning of yellow skin to him is a lifetime of dedication, and the struggle of skin color......
After Zhao Chuanxin's lyrics were changed, it is quite appropriate in this era.
In the distance, a group of people walked in groups, like a walk after a meal.
They were also attracted by the singing and slowly approached the ......
1907 was just the beginning. All the excitement is still to come, I don't know why some people say that they can't write it anymore.
