Spy War 1929

Chapter 124
Wei Zhengyun bowed his body and stood in front of Chen Ledao with a respectful face.

Ye Weiyang's development is getting better and better, compared to Chen Ledao, the hands-off shopkeeper, he actually contributes more.But the more so, the more he respected Chen Ledao.

Having had Heng San's experience as the boss back then, he understands that Chen Ledao is not as simple as it appears on the surface.When Ye Weiyang Song and Dance Hall was also called Lihai Song and Dance Hall, people would come here to make trouble every three days, but since Ye Weiyang was established, except for the first few waves of punks, no one has ever come here to make trouble.

The reason is not simple!
"What's the matter?" Chen Ledao looked at Wei Zhengyun.

Hector also looked at Wei Zhengyun curiously.This person should be the manager who usually manages Ye Weiyang for Henry.Ye Weiyang can manage so well, this person should have a lot of credit, he is very interested in this person in front of him.

"Boss, Mr. Xu has brought one of his friends here." Wei Zhengyun said respectfully.

In front of outsiders, you must give the boss full face. This is his work experience in the workplace.

Chen Ledao quickly realized that Wei Zhengyun was talking about Xu Zhimo. Among the people he knew, Xu Zhimo seemed to be the only one whose surname was Xu.

A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, the great poet was finally willing to come to him.

Chen Ledao got up, Lao Xu came, of course he wanted to meet.

"Guys, a friend over there is here. You guys are chatting. I'll go see you." Chen Ledao said to Hector and Zhou Wen.

Xu Zhimo probably couldn't get along with these people, and he didn't intend to invite Xu Zhimo here.

"Cheng Cheng, stay with me." He said to Feng Chengcheng.

"Stay with him?" Feng Chengcheng chewed on these words over and over again, his brows and eyes were bent, and his cheeks blushed unavoidably.She nodded lightly and unobtrusively, and responded with a voice like a mosquito.

Chen Ledao smiled at her, and turned around to let Wei Zhengyun lead the way.

"Brother Chen has so many friends!" Zhou Wen looked at Hector, then at the place where Chen Ledao left, and couldn't help sighing.

"Did Mr. Xu's wife not come?" Chen Ledao asked Wei Zhengyun.

"No, there is a gentleman who came with Mr. Xu. I haven't seen him before, so I don't know his name." Wei Zhengyun said.

As soon as Xu Zhimo came, the waiter below immediately reported him.He has explained this before.Knowing that the boss seemed to pay more attention to Xu Zhimo, he immediately came to Chen Ledao.

"I don't know, it's not surprising." Chen Ledao nodded slightly.

Most of the people who can become friends with Xu Zhimo are people whose names can be found in future history books or language documents, but they don't know who it will be.

I heard that Xu Zhimo and Hu Shi have an unusual relationship, but I don't know if it's this one.It's a pity that Mr. Ren Gong passed away at the beginning of the year, and he came a bit late, so he didn't have the opportunity to meet this legendary figure who needs to be written about even if it is a history book.

Just as he was thinking, Chen Ledao and Wei Zhengyun had arrived not far from where Xu Zhimo was, and a waiter was there greeting them.

Chen Ledao looked at the slightly slim figure sitting opposite Xu Zhimo, and wondered which figure this was who had harmed him during his studies.

In the Republic of China, many things were lacking in China, but there was no shortage of literary talents.

He stepped forward, and Wei Zhengyun stood behind him with arms folded.

"Zhimo, I didn't say hello when I came here. I've been waiting for your call for the past few days, but I'm getting angry." Chen Ledao stepped forward with a smile and said.

"Boss," the waiter saw Chen Ledao, and immediately bowed.

Chen Ledao nodded, and asked him to bring up a bottle of good wine.

Xu Zhimo also seemed a little surprised when he saw Chen Ledao, he didn't expect that Chen Ledao would be here, but this surprise was only a momentary thing.

Last time the two got along pretty well, they were already considered friends, and he didn't feel wrong with Chen Ledao's a little too affectionate title.

The two exchanged a few words, and Chen Ledao looked at the person opposite him.

"Zhimo, let me introduce you, who is this gentleman?"

Although Chen Ledao didn't have much ink in his stomach, he was very interested in meeting people in these cultural circles.The first is the fame of these people. When he was a young scholar, he had basic respect and curiosity for these literati.

Then there are the pens in the hands of these people.In this day and age, most of these literati are working in places like newspapers. If you get along well with these people, the public opinion will be very beneficial to him in the future.

Public opinion is very important in any era.

Seeing the familiarity of the two, the man was also curious about who Chen Ledao was.He knows most of Xu Zhimo's friends.Whether their circle is big or small, he has seen most of them.Who is this?He never saw it.

"Oh!" Xu Zhimo patted his forehead with a smile, forgetting to introduce the two of them.

"This is my friend, Yu Wen, Zi Dafu, he is very curious about Ye Weiyang, I am here with him today." He first said to Chen Ledao.

"This is the boss here, Mr. Chen Ledao, a friend I just made not long ago."

Yu Wen?do not know!But if you tell me about Yu Dafu!I have a little impression of this name!Chen Ledao looked at Yu Dafu.

If he remembers correctly, there should be an essay called "Autumn in the Ancient Capital" written by this writer.After all, it was an article in a Chinese textbook, so he probably had a little impression of it.

However, there are hundreds of words in this article, and he only remembers four words in it: autumn in the north,
"Hello, Mr. Yu! Welcome to Yeweiyang to play." Chen Ledao extended his right hand to shake his hand, and said with a smile.

"Hello, Mr. Chen, I've always heard the name of Yeweiyang Song and Dance Hall before, and it's even more famous if we meet today."

Chen Ledao smiled, knowing that this was just a polite remark from the other party, so he couldn't take it seriously.But there was one thing he really didn't expect.

It is said that romantic and talented people, this word seems to be true!

Although the Yeweiyang Song and Dance Hall is very formal, most of the people who come and go here still come here with a romantic mind.

It is hard to imagine that Yu Dafu, a scholar, would be interested in dance halls.Although Mr. Ji Xianlin is in front of him, he has told the world that literati are also human beings, not machines that can't get emotions.

But for the group of literati, most people still think that the other party should be of noble character, and it is right to dismiss such mundane things.

Another lesson!
The three of them sat down, Chen Ledao was a little curious about what the two of them would do if he didn't bother him.Xu Zhimo's name is outside, and Lu Xiaoman's people are not around, so he is really curious if the two of them will play tricks.

Literati and poets, this word is really mysterious.

"Mr. Yu, you and I are friends of Zhimo. I don't think we should be polite to each other. I'll call you Dafu, and you can call me Le Dao." Chen Ledao said bluntly.

His forthright personality seems to suit Yu Dafu's taste, and Chen Ledao intends to get closer.The two quickly became acquainted, and there was no stranger who had just met.

Seeing Chen Ledao and Yu Dafu chatting so well, Xu Zhimo smiled and felt very good.If the two of you really say "sir" to you and "sir" to me, then I'm afraid it will make him feel uncomfortable instead.

Chen Ledao was not in the same circle as these people who made a living with pens, but judging from the contact between the two of them, he found that Chen Ledao seemed to be particularly interested in people in their circle.

That's right, intellectuals, literati and scholars have always been a profession with its own halo in China.

Thinking of this, thinking of the letter he just received yesterday, he simply said to Chen Ledao:
"Le Dao, I have an international friend some other day, a senior from the literary world is coming to China, are you interested in meeting him?" Chen Ledao deliberately teased Chen Ledao, but he did not mention the senior's name.

"International friends, seniors in the literary world?" A question mark appeared in Chen Ledao's heart.

"Who?" he asked curiously.

"Haha," seeing Chen Ledao like this, both Xu Zhimo and Yu Dafu smiled, and stopped teasing him.

"Mr. Tagore, a great Indian writer and poet." Xu Zhimo looked at him with a smile.

Chen Ledao blinked, unable to suppress the surprise rising in his heart!

Tagore! ! !
Who wouldn't know his name!

Although Xu Zhimo and Yu Dafu are already well-known, they still seem to be an order of magnitude behind this one.

However, is this... still alive? ? ?
It's really not that Chen Ledao disrespected this great poet and writer.It's really that this name is too big, so that Chen Ledao subconsciously imagined him as an ancient figure.Who would have thought that there would be a chance to live in the same era as this man!

Both of them looked at Chen Ledao amusedly.Chen Ledao's wide-eyed eyes, blinking from time to time, seemed to the two of them full of joy.

After a short time together, both of them already knew that Chen Ledao was interested in the literary circle.As long as you are interested in this circle, how many people will not know Tagore's name!
That is to say, education for all has not yet been popularized.After nine years of compulsory education and the country's Internet access, this person's name will become known to the general public.

Chen Ledao didn't foolishly ask "Is this person still alive?"Since the two said it, they must still be alive.

"Tagore really wants to come to China?" Chen Ledao still asked in disbelief.

Don't say that Lao Tzu is the protagonist, he is shocked at every turn, he doesn't look like a mature protagonist, he doesn't look like a mature man.You would be surprised if this happened to you!I am not a machine, I am a man, and everyone would be surprised to hear that he could meet this legendary figure who was thought to be dead long ago!

The two nodded solemnly, they were not bored, how could they be joking with Chen Ledao on this matter.

Chen Ledao blinked, and he digested it in his heart.

First of all, Tagore is still alive!

Then, he's coming to China!

Then, I can still see him!

Chen Ledao smiled after thinking about it, which was both a surprise and a shock.Hearing this kind of news suddenly is the same as a physics student who suddenly heard that Einstein is still alive, and he will be able to see him soon, right? !
"Okay, of course I'm going!" Chen Ledao agreed immediately. This kind of person is rare when they meet each other. Of course, they should seize the opportunity.

For such a great poet, writing poetry should be like eating and drinking for them!If he had the cheek to ask him to send himself a poem, would it be a good story in the future?Chen Ledao thought cheerfully.

"Well, I'll let you know when the time comes to pick up his old man." Xu Zhimo said.

In the next chat between the three, Chen Ledao learned that this was not the first time Tagore had come to China.

Tagore's first visit to China was in 1924. At that time, the entire Chinese literary world was shocked. Countless well-known literati and scholars went to receive him, and many interesting things happened to the people who eat melons.I won't mention it here.

Xu Zhimo was among Tagore's people who received him.Tagore is a famous poet, and Xu Zhimo's poetic talent is beyond doubt.Even in the Republic of China, where there were many literati and bachelors, they could be ranked in the first echelon.

The relationship between the two is not only a senior in the literary world and a junior, but at the same time, it may also be a relationship of forgetfulness.

This is Tagore's second visit to China, but this time is different from the last one, this time Tagore came very low-key.The person who mainly notified was also Xu Zhimo.

Chen Ledao didn't know the relationship between Xu Zhimo and Tagore, let alone that Tagore wrote a small poem to Lin Huiyin during his first visit to China——

"Gift Forest"

blue sky

In love with the green of the earth
The breeze between them sighed, Alas!

Chen Ledao sat with the two of them in the ballroom, chatted for a while, and had a few drinks.The two of them didn't stay in the dance hall much, it seemed that they were just curious to come and have a look.

After sending the two away, Chen Ledao went back to find Zhou Wen and the others.

"Brother, what kind of friend are you over there? Why don't you call me over and get to know each other. Your friend is our friend!" When Chen Ledao came back, Zhou Wen said boldly.

Chen Ledao smiled.

"Really? Those two friends are real university scholars, who can go to the university to become professors. You, who go to school for three days and two days, can really chat with them?" Chen Ledao joked.

If Zhang Chu is interested in chatting with those two, Chen Ledao still believes it, but Zhou Wen, uh~~~, forget it.

When Zhou Wen heard this, he really stopped talking.He admires those who can write good articles, but if he really wants to make friends with such people, he may not be able to.His talents are currently all about eating, drinking and having fun.

"Brother, your friends are so wide!!" He gave Chen Ledao a thumbs up, and he spoke with admiration.

He is also a person who likes to make friends, but he can't be like the eldest brother, who can be friends with people of any personality.

He is a dude in other people's mouth, Zhang Chu is a nerd, Hector is a foreigner, Lao Tie is a rough inspector, and those less educated inspectors, as well as the two intellectuals just now.

Eldest brother seems to be able to become friends with all kinds of people. In ancient times, he would at least be a figure sitting on the top of Liangshan in Shuibo!

Thinking of this, Zhou Wen admired Chen Ledao even more.In my heart, I regret not being able to open a dance hall with Chen Ledao.

Chen Ledao sat and chatted with several people in the dance hall for a long time, and Feng Chengcheng stayed by his side the whole time.Today, after asking a few people to call her sister-in-law a few times, and Chen Ledao also asked her to accompany a few people for him, she regarded herself as Chen Ledao's fiancée even more.

After sending away a few people, Feng Chengcheng has not left yet.The two stood at the gate, and Feng Chengcheng looked at him.

"You and Hector open a dance hall, but you still need investors. If you want me to talk to Dad, he will definitely support you." She said.

Chen Ledao looked at the way she looked up at him with her head up, couldn't help smiling, and was moved in his heart.

"Don't worry, I can find investors.

At the beginning, I said in front of your father that I wanted to imitate my father, so I couldn't give up halfway.My father was able to start from nothing in France and then marry my mother. I can't embarrass him as an old man. "

Chen Ledao said with a smile, and at the same time bent his right index finger and scratched Feng Chengcheng's nose that was a little red from the night wind.

"What a silly girl!" He smiled.

Feng Chengcheng's face was blushed by his intimacy, and he couldn't help lowering his head, pinching the corner of his clothes with his fingers in a panic.Chen Ledao had never shown such intimacy to her before.

Seeing her like this, Chen Ledao smiled again, and stretched out his hand to tighten the cloak coat for her.

"Okay, you should hurry home too. It's cold at night, so don't catch a cold." After he finished speaking, he waved his hand, and the Feng's car that was waiting next to him drove over immediately. The Feng family arranged for someone to protect Feng Chengcheng to come My lady opened the car.

They had long wanted to urge their young lady to go home, but when they returned late, the master was reluctant to reprimand the young lady, and they would suffer.

But the lady has been with Mr. Chen all the time, and they dare not go up.

The matter of Chen Ledao is not a secret in the Feng family. Although they are only servants of the Feng family, they have heard about Chen Ledao's affairs.Not to mention that recently there are rumors that Chen Ledao is going to become the uncle of the Feng family.

They are all Feng Chengcheng's bodyguards, and they know more about these things than outsiders.Knowing that this is not a rumor, this is simply a certainty.

The lady likes Mr. Chen, Uncle Xiang likes Mr. Chen, the key is that the master seems to like Mr. Chen too.Isn't this a sure thing! !

They don't dare to make trouble in front of the future uncle.

Feng Chengcheng got into the car with a red face and earlobes. The wind is really cool tonight.

"What's your name?" Chen Ledao patted the driver who opened the door for Feng Chengcheng.

"Mr. Chen, my name is Chang Wei, you can just call me Awei!" Chang Wei was a little excited, he didn't expect that the uncle-to-be would talk to him.

The Feng family is now the master's decision, and the future will be the son-in-law's decision.If the uncle-to-be looks for reuse, then he will be the next Uncle Xiang in the future! !
"Chang Wei." Chen Ledao couldn't help but smile when he heard the name, "Good name!"

Hearing this, Chang Wei became even more excited.This is a compliment from the uncle-to-be.The uncle-to-be praised his name as a good name.Isn't this the prelude to being important! !

"Chang Wei, do you know kung fu?"

"Mr. Chen, I learned something from a martial artist before!" Chang Wei replied excitedly, asking such detailed questions, is he finally going to rise up?

"Okay, not bad! Good at kung fu! Work hard, I like you!" Chen Ledao patted his shoulder and said with a smile.

"Drive slowly on the way back, you have to protect Miss, you know!"

"Mr. Chen, don't worry, I will definitely protect Miss!!" Chang Wei was so excited that he almost made an oath.

Everyone will rise, is it finally my turn now! !

Ah Fu, don't worry, when Chang Wei rises up, I will definitely cover you! !
"Well, okay, let's go."

Seeing him like this, Chen Ledao nodded in satisfaction, then patted his shoulder again.

When the car started, Feng Chengcheng rolled down the glass window and waved at him with a smile on his face.

During this period of time, she stayed at home every day, and she hadn't been so happy today for a long time.

"Boss, Miss Fang is drunk inside."

Chen Ledao stood by the gate and watched Feng Chengcheng's car disappear into the street. Wei Zhengyun walked up to him and said.

Chen Ledao nodded, did not speak, the smile on his face gradually returned to calm,
Seeing the boss's bland reaction, Wei Zhengyun quickly put away the sympathy for Fang Yanyun that had just appeared on his face, and carefully reminded himself.

This is the boss's private matter.Can not look!Can't listen!Can't ask!Can't control it! ! !

"Arrange a car, let someone help her down, and I will take her back." Chen Ledao said.

"Yes." Wei Zhengyun replied respectfully, and hurried to make arrangements.

　Tagore’s second visit to China was in March 1929. The time here is a bit different from the time in the article, and it was pushed back a little.

　　In addition, I saw the poem "Gift to the Forest" on the Internet. I am not sure if it is true, but I found two versions.

　　Another version:

　　blue sky overlooking

　　green forest

　　blown among them
　　A sighing breeze.

　　This is comparing Xu Zhimo to the sky and Lin Huiyin to the forest, which is doomed to be impossible.
