Chapter 11: On the Nation, Singing Throughout the World (5)

"A little cloud, come slowly, please rest your feet, stop for a while. Meng Xiaodong hummed a song in his mouth and packed up his clothes in the room. After Zhou Hexuan passed by the room and heard it, he poked his head in surprise and asked, "Dong, what are you singing?"

Meng Xiaodong looked back and saw that it was Zhou Hexuan, and smiled embarrassedly, "It's a new song sung by Sister Cai'er, is it good?"

Zhou Hexuan scolded his mother in his heart, you are a Lu Xihua, you can't leave someone else to live? You are a foreigner's book, you are good, you directly took out the golden songs sung by later generations, why don't you go to heaven? !

Zhou Hexuan thought so in his heart, but he didn't dare to say this to his own Dong, so he could only show the most sincere smile, "Dong, what's the name of this song?"

"Treading the waves. Meng Xiaodong sang again while packing up his clothes, "La...... Laa...... , Hey, big brother, when do you say, let's go to the beach in the south to play. I heard Brother Lu say that there are pineapples, coconuts, and mangoes, and no one has ever seen a coconut tree. I heard Brother Lu say that the coconut trees are so tall and tall, and some can be ten stories high. No one has ever seen such a tall tree. ”

Zhou Hexuan thought to himself, yes, when is he free, take Le Yi and Dong to the beach to play, should he also design a few sets of swimsuits?

"Big brother, how can you say that Brother Lu has such a beautiful hairpin? I heard everyone Xue say that this was used by Empress Renhuai of the Song Dynasty. Meng Xiaodong is holding a hosta flower in his hand at the moment, shaped like a white orchid, with a yellow dot on it, which is carved into the shape of a bee, hidden among the flowers.

This was the first time we met that day, Lu Xihua gave Meng Xiaodong a gift, Meng Xiaodong only thought it looked good at first, and wore it on his head, which was discovered by an antique collector, and said after reading it, this was used by Empress Renhuai of the Song Dynasty. Empress Renhuai was the main palace of Song Qinzong, and after the Jin soldiers broke through Bianliang, they were captured in the army and died of humiliation. This hairpin flower is the daily wear of Renhuai Queen City before the break, it has the effect of refreshing the mind, repelling insects and avoiding evil, and it is a national treasure after the change of Jingkang. The collector bid 120,000 silver dollars to Meng Xiaodong to seek, Meng Xiaodong smiled, and said that it was a gift from a friend and would not be resold.

After knowing that the hairpin flower was worth so much money, Meng Xiaodong didn't dare to wear the hairpin flower on his head casually, so he could only take it out and watch it when he had time, and he couldn't put it down.

Zhou Hexuan smiled, "Xihua gave it to you, you can wear it, and don't be polite to him." Zhou Hexuan smiled on his face, the mainland is still slandering, don't you know that your eldest brother Lu and Song Qinzong have drunk a bar together, where has he not been to the inner courtyard of the palace of the Great Song Dynasty?

Since the summer of 1927, several folk songs have suddenly appeared in the ears of the public, with unusually simple tunes, beautiful melodies and straightforward lyrics, first sung in major campuses, and then loved by the singers who sang in the streets and alleys, and finally the hawkers who walked the streets and alleys also hummed a few words, and the song became popular.

October, Jinwei, Chu Mansion.

"Second master, people have to sing too. A woman in a cheongsam as plump as jade leaned on Chu Yufeng's body, twisting her body to put pressure on Chu Erye, and at the same time peeled a grape with her hand and put it in Chu Yufeng's mouth.

Chu Yufeng's left hand swam on the woman's body, holding the woman's fingers in her mouth, and she was energetic, and said vaguely, "If you want to sing, just sing." ”

"But people don't have good songs, and they still want to make records. The woman hooked Chu Yufeng's tongue with her fingers and said coquettishly.

"Don't you have a few songs you like to listen to recently, and you can't find the original song, so you can record it. Chu Yufeng didn't care about such a trivial matter.

"That kind of miserable folk tune, people don't sing it. People have to sing songs with Western musical instruments and sing them to foreigners, so that is foreign. It's okay, second master. ”

"I don't know the composer, where can I find you a song. Chu Yufeng was really speechless for this new aunt's wife, she was originally a dancer in the song hall, she liked to sing, she had no problem singing as much as she wanted, and she asked herself to find someone to help her write songs, which is difficult for your second master.

"Didn't people ask you to check the original singers and authors of "The Moon Bends in Kyushu" and "Song of the Four Seasons" last time? People ignore you. The woman played a little tantrum and turned around on Chu Yufeng, which was originally inward, but now outward.

Chu Yufeng touched the woman's chest with his left hand, knocked a few times on the table with his right hand, and shouted, "Adjutant!

An officer pushed the door at the sound and came in and bowed his head to report, "My subordinate is here!

Chu Yufeng knocked on the table, his hands were not idle, and he asked, "How did you check the songs that you checked last time?"

The officer replied, "Return to the military seat, according to eyeliner, these songs came from a pastry restaurant next to Victoria Park in the British Concession. According to the people below, it seems that these songs were made by the restaurant owner himself and sung by his sister. ”

"Oh?" Speaking of women, Chu Yufeng's eyes lit up, "Sister, how old is that woman?"

There was a glint of disdain in the officer's lowered eyes, "About ten years old." ”

Chu Yufeng was not interested in this kind of little girl, and thought for a while, "What is the origin of that boss?

The officer continued to report, "According to our investigation, the owner of the restaurant is named Lu Xihua, a Chinese, non-returnee, who came to Tianjin in January this year. Bought a three-story house in the British Concession, and more than a dozen shops. The pastry restaurant opened again in May this year, and business is booming because of its unique taste, but the owner gives free snacks and drinks to passers-by every day, attracting people to listen to his sister sing. ”

Chu Yufeng tapped his fingers on the table and squinted his eyes, "Buying a house, buying a shop and opening a restaurant, so he is very rich." ”

The officer nodded and said, "I heard that he also bought 100,000 customs bonds issued by the British Concession Ministry of Industry for the repair of the Haihe River. ”

Chu Yufeng's eyes lit up when he heard this, his eldest brother Chu Yupu had lost battles in Jiangsu, Anhui, and Henan, and in order to raise money to buy guns and ammunition to regroup, he ordered himself to issue 10 million public bonds in Zhili and forcibly apportioned them to merchants and civilians.

Thinking of this, Chu Yufeng immediately asked, "How much of the public debt that the eldest brother asked us to promote is now being sent out?"

The officer flipped through the notebook on his body and said, "The military seat has already sent out 300,000." ”

"300,000 is too little, not even enough to stuff your teeth. In this way, send the 300,000 yuan to the eldest brother first, and he is still waiting for the silver to sound, and he can't delay. You let the people below speed up the work, and whoever shirks this matter will come to the hard, and if you don't give face, you will be arrested by the Red Party. Chu Yufeng thought for a while, "You come to the door and ask this boss named Lu to buy 200,000 public bonds." ”

The officer was embarrassed, "Lu Xihua has already purchased our public bonds, five thousand yuan. ”

Chu Yufeng smiled, "Less." Tell him to buy another 200,000. ”

The officer said, "Boss Lu won't agree, it's too much." ”

A hint of hideousness flashed in Chu Yufeng's eyes, "Don't agree?!" If you don't agree, you will arrest his sister first." What kind of song did his sister sing? If she wants to be a Meng Jiangnu, she must be a member of the Red Party! Arrest her first, and then let the person surnamed Lu take money to ransom people. ”

When the officer saw that this was a clear kidnapping, he sighed, turned around and went out to do something.

"Second master, why did you talk about fundraising for a long time? What about other people's songs?" The woman lay on Chu Yufeng and did not give up.

"Little girl, wait for the man surnamed Lu to pay the money, and it will not be our final say in the future, let us rub it flat and knead it. Chu Yufeng laughed and increased the strength in his hands.

The woman smiled coquettishly, "The second master is a good plan, he is really a hero." ”

Chu Yufeng laughed, "It's not that I, a hero, can't pass your Huarong Dao." As he spoke, he touched his hand downward.

The woman's body twisted, "I hate it, the second master is so bad!"

Chu Yufeng hugged the woman and went to the bed.
