Chapter 319: Masters
This second lady, Shen Xingren, has a pivotal position in the modern Chinese literary circle, and can be called a generation of talented women. Shen Xingren has translated 17 works, including 9 dramas, 3 novels, 1 prose poem, and 4 non-literary works.
As early as the autumn of 1922, Xu Zhimo returned from England and initiated a literary salon at his residence, the Crescent Society, where Liang Qichao, Lin Changmin, Ding Wenjiang, Zhang Junmai and other socially and politically qualified celebrities, as well as a large number of university professors and writers and literati such as Hu Shi, Chen Xiying, Ling Shuhua, Jian Jichang, Lin Huiyin, Lin Yutang, Zhang Xinhai, Rao Mengkan, Yu Shangyuan, Ding Xilin, etc., often came here for dinner and activities. And Tao Menghe and Shen Xingren also joined in.
During this period, Shen Xingren met and became close friends with literati and scholars such as Hu Shi, Zhu Ziqing, Liang Sicheng, and Jin Yuelin. Later, their "position" of activities was transferred to Liang Sicheng and Lin Huiyin's house, which was the "wife's living room" referred to in Bingxin's "Our Wife's Living Room". At that time, Tao Menghe and Shen Xingren were the main guests in the "living room".
Jin Yuelin, a famous philosopher and logician, was shocked when he first met Shen Xingren, and wrote in a Tibetan poem entitled to Shen Xingren: "Sex is like a bamboo shadow sparse in China and Japan, and benevolence is the wind of orchid fragrance." Jin Yuelin uses the swaying bamboo shadow and the fragrant orchid fragrance to metaphorize the beautiful style of "sexual benevolence".
Essayist Zhu Ziqing, with his delicate brushstrokes like moonlight on the lotus pond, wrote in his diary on January 22, 1933: "When Tao Meng and his wife came, Mrs. Tao had not been seen for several years, and the young man was like the past, and the relationship between his situation and life was really huge. "The young man is like the past", in this rather subtle hidden sentence, we can get a glimpse of Shen Xingren's elegant temperament that captured people's hearts and Zhu Ziqing's inner envy and emotion.
Since the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Shen Xingren has contracted tuberculosis because of his displacement.
Without streptomycin, she would have traveled from Lizhuang to Gansu and then died in Lanzhou, as in history.
However, at this time, Shen Xingren was still alive and kicking, and said with a smile: "Mr. Qin is a great talent! However, it is a pity that Your Excellency has left only one "Go Secret Record" in the world. ”
The implication is to say, "Qin Di wasted his time and didn't leave more works recorded in history, so he might as well be a weak woman than me!"
Qin Di didn't want to entangle with these people, so he just said: "Ba Yuan Tangerine gambles on chess, and secretly remembers Yingshi with a smile."
Two sleeves of jade dust three hundred hundred, thrown into the snow full of the world. It means to say: "What I have done has already benefited the whole world! You ordinary people are clearly blind yourself!"
Hearing this, the people present were in different moods, no longer pestering Qin Di, and began to grind Yan Xue, wanting to hear her sing a few songs.
Yan Xue just smiled and shook her head.
Qin Yue helped the round: "That's it, my sister-in-law has never spoken, and even I haven't heard her sing a few times." Don't force it. Mr. Liang, don't you want to inspect the ancient buildings in Sichuan? ”
Liang Sicheng and Lin Huiyin's eyes looked at Qin Di, but they didn't open their mouths to ask for help.
Qin Yue said: "Brother, Mr. Liang is collecting materials and writing "History of Chinese Architecture" and "History of Image Chinese Architecture", can you give some sponsorship?"
Qin Di immediately took out his checkbook and asked, "Mr. Liang, is $100,000 enough?"
Everyone gasped when they heard this!
In recent years, the fiat currency has depreciated very much, but the dollar is very strong, and they didn't expect that Qin Di would be $100,000 as soon as he opened his mouth.
Liang Sicheng said with a smile: "Thank you, Mr. Qin, academic research is a bottomless pit, and no matter how much money you have, you can spend it all." With this funding, I can collect more information and write a better book. ”
Lin Huiyin also said: "We have traveled a lot of places and traced some ancient buildings, but China is too big, and it will not be enough time for us to give us another ten years! Some buildings are about to be destroyed by artillery fire, which is a great pity to say." ”
Qin Di waved his pen and wrote a check for $200,000 and said, "With the two of you alone, I'm afraid I won't be able to run it all in my life! Why don't you buy a few cameras, and then hire a few people with the money to let them tour around and take pictures back." You can just sit at home and organize your paperwork. ”
Liang Sicheng took the check and glanced at it, his heart was surprised, his hands trembled, he quickly put the check away, and thanked him repeatedly: "Thank you, thank you! This money can do a lot of great things!"
Everyone saw Liang Sicheng take the check, although they didn't know the specific amount, but they all showed envy.
Tao Menghe suddenly said: "Mr. Qin, there are currently more than 10,000 students in Lizhuang Town, and because of the limited state funding, the students have left their hometowns and their lives are very difficult. Many people don't have enough to eat, even the professor's family is not happy, sometimes there is only one sweet potato for a meal. Qin Yue has already promised to give each student an extra half a catty of pasta every day. In addition, I heard that Qin's grain store has imported some canned soy products from abroad, can you give a little to the teachers and students?
Qin Di smiled and nodded: "No problem, I'll send it over when I go back." ”
Human beings need 8 essential amino acids for survival, and eating sweet potatoes and corn alone will cause nutritional insufficiency, so it is best to match them with soybeans and meat.
Qin's grain store has long stocked up on a lot of canned food and has been quietly selling it out.
In addition to canned food, there are also some stored milk powder, which is also a hot commodity in the market.
For adults, milk powder is just a nutritional supplement, but for children it is very critical, and there is a big difference with or without milk powder. Not every mother is able to provide enough milk, and many children cry in the middle of the night, mostly because of hunger. It is easy for small children to feed when they are well fed and drunk.
Seeing Qin Di's generosity, everyone was full of praise, and there was no more sarcasm and sarcasm for him.
Qin Di was also a scientist when he was the first, although he was not as famous as the people in front of him, but he also published dozens of papers and participated in many international conferences. In the second life, he embarked on the road of cultivating the truth, and after a lot of hardships, he cultivated all the way to the Immortal Emperor, and he had already surpassed the level of a scholar; in this life, he had the Yuan Shen of the Immortal Emperor, and naturally, he had a superhuman mentality, and he couldn't mix with scholars.
Still, it is important to maintain proper courtesy.
His eyes looked at Tong Dizhou and asked, "Mr. Tong, are you still engaged in experimental research?"
Tong Dizhou smiled bitterly: "I only teach now, take students to do some basic experiments, and I can't talk about any research." ”
Qin Di smiled slightly: "Mr. Jiuwen's name, if you encounter difficulties, you can write me a letter." ”
Tong Dizhou said: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say." ”
He was the first scientist to successfully clone a carp and later became vice president of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
Qin Di wanted to fund him to engage in experimental research, but it was not a matter of sending money in public, and it seemed that he was deliberately ostentatious. And Tong Dizhou, as a great scientist, will not surrender his identity and ask for help.
The reason why Qin Di funded Liang Sicheng was because his sister Qin Yue took the initiative to mention it.
It stands to reason that he robbed so much gold, and he couldn't keep it and couldn't give birth to a baby, so it was right to take it out and do something serious. But because this was 1943, the country was in the midst of life and death, and it was not a good time to do learning. Moreover, this kind of thing should have been arranged by the country, and if he took care of everything, it would be unjustifiable.
Because of this, he just thought about it in his heart, and then he pulled it down.
