When all the people present looked at Lu,

Staring –

His gaze burned like a knife.

Lu Shi was very calm, took a bite of the fried fish, and made a "crunch" sound when chewing, and the mayonnaise even left a light milky white mark on the upper lip, mixed with dots of green chopped parsley, which was very delicious at first glance.

The patrol captain couldn't help but swallow his spit,

"Goo......

The little patrolman whispered: "Boss, I'm so hungry......"

The captain glared at him fiercely,

"Stinky boy, remember to call me 'sir' outside!"

The little patrol officer was helpless, opened the kettle, took a big sip, and filled himself with water.

The captain secretly stammered and said, "You said that the Manchester woman provoked someone badly, but provoked a sinister and cunning Chinese like Lu, isn't it asking for hardship?" ”

He looked up at the sky,

Two o'clock in the afternoon is the time when humans need the most rest during the day.

Lu Shi wiped the sauce from his lips with his fingers,

"Guys, do you want to drink water?"

At the beginning of the 20th century, rallies and parades in Western countries were completely different from modern times.

No one provides food,

No one provides drinking water,

There are no beautiful women dancing, singing, taking off their underwear,

……

Yes, it's just the willpower of the people who participate in the rally,

As well as the batons of the riot police, which could fall on their heads at any moment.

However, Lu Shi's gameplay is incompatible with this era, and the fish and chips in his hands and the buckets of drinking water on the ground are all destroying the willpower of the ladies who "besieged" the newspaper.

He doesn't need a baton.

Pankhurst's teeth are about to crumble,

"Despicable!"

The word, almost a syllable, squeezed out of between the teeth.

She looked around and saw that the reporters from the various newspapers on Fleet Street were focusing their cameras on her.

If tomorrow's front-page headlines are:

"Feminist leader 'Clough's Pankhurst' defeated by fish and chips......

I can't even think about it!

Pankhurst looked at Lu Shi: "You want to use these small favors......"

Lu Shi raised his hand and prepared to interrupt the other party,

However, there was no need for him to speak, and a certain woman had already taken the lead in speaking: "Are you Professor Lu, the editor-in-chief of the Mirror?" ”

Lu Shi nodded,

"That's right, my surname is Lu. Any questions? ”

The woman didn't answer.

The two stared at each other for a while, and Lu Shi touched his nose in embarrassment and asked, "Huh...... Do you want to drink water? ”

The woman looked around and quickly shook her head when she saw that her companions were staring at her.

Humans are a typical social animal,

Except for a very small number of individuals, most people need to find a place in the community in order to reflect their value.

Rebellion in public is about the same as social death.

Pankhurst said, "Professor Lu, it seems that your calculation has been in vain. ”

Lu Shi shook his head and sneered: "Mrs. Pankhurst, if I want to deal with you, I have a lot of means. It's just that out of respect for you, I'm too lazy to use those means. ”

Too lazy to use?

Hearing the word, Pankhurst only thought it was funny.

She said, "Professor Lu, you really look like a politician. ”

Lu Shi was curious,

"What do you mean by that?"

Pankhurst replied: "Politicians have always been hard-mouthed. They never admit defeat like warriors, and naturally they don't know how to be brave and brave. ”

It's not wrong to say this alone,

In Europe, especially with the British, politicians must not know how to write the word "shame",

If he had understood, Cecil would have resigned long ago.

More precisely, being cheeky is a must for people like them.

But this is not the case when it comes to land,

He lowered his voice,

"Mrs. Pankhurst, I didn't lie to you."

His gaze swept over the crowd and continued, "For example, what if I planted a few 'spies' among your people and let them take the lead in drinking the drinking water I provided?" Will your people be able to hold on? ”

Pankhurst: !!

Looking at Lu Shi in disbelief.

Lu Shi spreads his hands,

"Look, isn't the means as many as there are? I just don't bother to use it. ”

Pankhurst's eyes were full of surprise,

The man in front of him is really from China?

She couldn't understand it.

Lu Shi ignored Pankhurst anymore, and said to the others: "From the early morning before dawn, until now, you have been holding out for nearly eight hours, drink some water to replenish your strength." ”

The tone is very frank, coupled with the harmless smile of humans and animals, it is indeed easy to gain trust.

After an eerie silence, whispers came from the crowd,

Most of the women looked at Pankhurst,

But Pankhurst didn't say anything.

Finally, someone couldn't hold back and asked, "Professor Lu, do you need us to express our support for you to drink water?" ”

Land Hours: ???

I didn't expect that there would be such a strange problem out of the sky.

This is probably the aftermath of the election......

He waved his hand,

"Not at all. Besides, I don't have any opinions, so what do I need your support for? ”

These words are like loosening the sleeve of the horse,

The women all gathered and lined up in an orderly manner, holding water in their hands and putting it in their mouths.

They found that there was a small amount of salt in the water.

For a while, the perception of land time was better.

Lu Shi looked around, walked up to a woman who had just finished drinking water, and asked, "This lady, can I ask your surname?" ”

The woman looked cautiously at Lu Shi,

"What do you want to do?"

Lu Shi: "......"

It seems that the other party has not let down his guard yet.

He coughed lightly and said, "It's okay, it doesn't matter if you don't say it." I'm just curious, you've read Jane Eyre in the original, right? Then do you know the difference between the original book and the comics serialized by The Mirror? ”

Hearing his question, the surrounding reporters immediately gathered around.

For a moment, the atmosphere became serious.

The woman who was questioned seemed a little frightened, and kept her head down and did not dare to speak.

Lu Shi waved his hand,

"Colleagues in the press, can you leave us a little space? Have you forgotten that there are a few taboos in journalism? For ordinary individuals, especially honored people and disadvantaged people, it is necessary to obtain permission before interviewing. ”

When he spoke, Lu Shi had an aura of not being angry and arrogant.

A group of reporters retreated,

They don't interview, they only report,

Anyway, the questions just now are public, and the questions that come out are also public information, which can be found in the newspaper.

Lu Shi looked at the woman again,

"Can you answer my question?"

The woman glanced at Pankhurst, and then said slowly, "Actually, I haven't read the original Jane Eyre, because the books are too expensive. However, I know the difference between the original book and the comics, and Ms. Pankhurst told me. ”

Hearing this, everyone knew that the matter was over,

Pankhurst lost, and lost decently.

A group of reporters worked hard to write,

The nib of the pen rubs against the paper and makes a soft sound, which is very small, but it is unusually harsh.

Unexpectedly, Lu Shi actually said: "Yes, this lady, the difference between the original book and the comic is very obvious." I believe that, with Mrs. Pankhurst's rigor and reputation, there will be no compliment to the comparison of contents. ”

Everyone was stunned,

They didn't understand why Lu Shi was talking to Pankhurst.

Including Pankhurst himself,

"Professor Lu, you ......"

Lu Shi didn't look at her, but continued the topic just now: "But as the editor-in-chief of "Mirror", I pay more attention not to the content of the original work, but to popularization and promotion. As you said earlier, books are expensive, and if you didn't have the Mirror, would you be able to understand the story of Jane Eyre? ”

This question does not need to be answered,

The answer is self-explanatory.

Pankhurst said: "But, Professor Lu, can you adapt the content for the sake of popularization and promotion? ”

Lu Shi did not answer, but asked rhetorically: "How many characters are there in "Jane Eyre"? ”

Pankhurst was stunned by the question,

"This ......"

Lu Shi spreads his hands,

"Haha, I haven't actually counted it specifically. But a rough estimate is that there should be a hundred people with names and surnames, and if all these characters are faithfully drawn into the comics according to the original book, can the final draft still be read? ”

Again, a question that doesn't need to be answered.

Only then did everyone realize a problem:

Without the Mirror, how many people would know Jane Eyre?

They couldn't help but reflect.

The solemn atmosphere gradually eased.

Not far away, Churchill, Waldhouse, Cecil, and Belfort in the carriage looked at each other,

They all know that the crisis of the Mirror has been resolved,

But how Lu Shi did it, they couldn't say.

Churchill couldn't help muttering in his heart that if he wanted to do the same thing as Pantshurst in the future, he had to make a good budget, and he had to prepare food, drink, blankets, and maybe pay a few pennies.

Lu Shi used his own actions to raise the cost of inviting a water army.

Cecil said, "That's it? ”

It's still a little hard to believe.

Wardhouse lifted the curtain and said, "Well, it's definitely over." You see, over there, the women blocking the door are scattered, the carriages carrying the Mirror are already free to enter and exit, and the newsboys and booksellers are swarming to pick up their goods. ”

He waved to a passing newsboy,

"Come, kid!"

The newsboy came running quickly,

"Sir?"

Wardhouse fumbled around and said, "Give me a copy of today's Mirror." ”

The newsboy handed out the newspaper,

"Threepence."

Wardhouse's expression froze and he turned his head.

Churchill touched his body, looked away in embarrassment, and pretended not to see.

Balfour scoffed: "Sir Wardhouse, will you Liberals live so thriftily?" Can't even pull out a few coins? ”

Wardhouse's face darkened,

He and Churchill were forcibly pulled out, unprepared, and even forgot to take their wallets.

Balfour stepped forward,

"I'll come."

He shoved a few coins to the newsboy.

Naturally, the newsboy would not give the newspaper to Waldhouse, but to Balfort,

Who pays whom, rightfully so.

Balfour took it with a smile, then gave the newspaper to Cecil, and said, "Your Excellency, you can also take a look." ”

The two got together to read.

Churchill had a reading addiction, and when he saw others reading newspapers but not himself, he couldn't help but feel itchy, and said with a smile: "Robert, show me too...... Any version is fine. ”

Cecil scoffed,

"Okay, that'll give you the bisexual version."

He flipped back and looked for it,

As a result, when I turned to the gender version, the action stopped.

Today's gender edition of "The Mirror" is not bloody at all, there is nothing "Ignorant Wife Pushes Open the Door of Evil, 13 Young Women of Flowers Revenge in Heaven", "Infatuated Girl, Why Are You Willing to Be a Bubble?" 》，

Only one poem was printed on the whole page, called "Marry",

There are only four lines in the poem:

——

Marry someone full of kindness.

Marry someone you don't want to change him and he doesn't want to change you.

Marry someone who won't punish you for your mistakes.

Marry someone who sees you as your fullest potential.

——

Cecil read it in a few seconds and whispered, "This poem is interestingly written, and reminds me of Yeats's When You Are Old." ”

Churchill was surprised,

"Poetry?"

He couldn't take it anymore and snatched the newspaper over.

Cecil said, "You wait! I haven't seen who the author is! ”

Churchill immediately replied, "I'll show it for you." ”

He glanced at the author column, and then the whole person was stunned, muttering to himself: "It turned out to be Lu." ”

Lu Shi is a poet, that's right,

However, writing poetry from a woman's perspective is indeed somewhat unexpected.

Cecil showed a look of sudden realization,

"No wonder I feel a bit similar to Yeats's style. The song "When You're Old" is simple and unpretentious, both straightforward and subtle; Professor Lu's "Marrying" is similar, with both Western directness and Eastern restraint. ”

Winston Churchill said, "This poem is really nothing in terms of content, but it is important in terms of context." ”

Poetry wants to spread, and that's the most important thing.

They looked out the window of the carriage.

The women gathered by Pankhurst have scattered,

Most of them had today's "Mirror" in their hands, and they had already read the gender edition, and they were stunned and stunned, as if they had been subjected to control magic.

Pankhurst also noticed the change in the atmosphere of the scene,

She also bought a copy, and when she read the gender version, she showed a rather complicated expression,

Surprised, admired, admired......

And so on.

As Pankhurst approached Lu, he whispered, "Professor Lu, you are so smart that you can take this opportunity to make the Mirror more popular. In your eyes, is there no hurdle that you can't overcome? ”

Lu Shi smiled and did not answer.

Pankhurst said again: "Professor Lu, are you a female ......?"

Lu Shi shook his head,

"It's not."

You don't even have to listen to each other's questions.

Pankhurst smiled wryly,

"You're too cautious."

Of course, you have to be cautious when you are on land,

Although the lady in front of her is an advanced revolutionary and liberator, she is also a violent person through and through.

Look at the events she organized......

Lu Shi was really afraid that the other party would splash his own blood when he sabotage.

Moreover, those activities led by Pankhurst cannot be said to be ineffective, only "almost" none.

The immediate cause of British women's right to vote was the First World War,

When the war began, the Women's Union immediately declared a truce for the suffrage movement, concentrated on the national salvation movement, comforted the families of the soldiers, boosted morale, and worked in factories, thus winning the support of public opinion for the right to vote.

Lu Shi didn't want to say more,

"Mrs. Pankhurst, if it's all right, it's almost time for you to leave."
