Spy War 1929

Chapter 132 The Most Unworthy Person

Yangshupu, Diners Shipping Company Wharf.

There were many people standing on the pier, their eyes would scan the sea from time to time.Their relatives and friends are sailing by sea.

Thinking of seeing them soon, people's faces showed anticipation early on.

On the side of the crowd.There are relatively few people here.Chen Ledao, Xu Zhimo and others were waiting here for the arrival of the ship.

Lu Xiaoman and Sheng Qi stood together, chatting softly.Chen Ledao, Xu Zhimo, and Yu Dafu were a few steps away from the two of them, and they were also chatting.

After waiting for the ship for a long time, Chen Ledao reached into his pocket and took out a pack of cigarettes.

"Oh, does Le Dao also like to smoke Hardman?" Seeing the cigarette case in Chen Le Dao's hand, Yu Dafu couldn't help but said with a smile.

"Why, is there anything else to say?" Chen Ledao handed out the cigarette case, motioning to Yu Dafu.

The last time Ye Weiyang met for the first time, he knew that Yu Dafu liked drinking, but as for smoking, he didn't know whether he liked it or not.
Yu Dafu smiled and took out one for himself, and said:

"Lu Xun also likes to smoke, especially Hardman. Seeing you take out this pack of cigarettes, I immediately thought of him."

Mr. Lu Xun likes to smoke, this is something that Chen Ledao, a later generation, knows.I just don't know that Mr. Lu Xun still likes to smoke Hardman.

Chen Ledao smiled, "So I have the same hobbies as Mr. Lu Xun? That's really pleasing."

As he spoke, he was about to put the cigarette back into his pocket.Xu Zhimo doesn't smoke, just like his talented personality, even if it's wine, he doesn't drink much, he just tastes it.

"Give me one." Xu Zhimo looked at the cigarette in his hand and said suddenly.

The two people with the cigarettes in their hands paused and looked at him in surprise.

"Aren't you a non-smoker?" Chen Ledao said, and handed out the cigarette at the same time.

Xu Zhimo shook his head without speaking, and took out a cigarette from the cigarette case.

Light a match, light a cigarette.Chen Ledao and Yu Dafu took a puff skillfully, and stared at Xu Zhimo with anticipation in their eyes.

"Cough cough cough!!!"

It didn't disappoint.

After taking a puff of cigarette, Xu Zhimo coughed loudly.The two looked at each other with a wicked smile on their lips.

On the other side, Lu Xiaoman and Sheng Qi's eyes were attracted, and they saw Xu Zhimo who was bending over and coughing.Lu Xiaoman walked over and stroked his back.

"Why are you still smoking? Don't you always dislike smoking!" Lu Xiaoman said.

But there was no blame in her tone, she also smoked.

Xu Zhimo waved his hand, indicating that nothing happened.Slowed down after coughing a few times.

Smoking is not because I like it, not because I am curious, but because I want to find a way to relieve stress.

"What's the matter, why do you still look so sad?" Yu Dafu asked.

Xu Zhimo shook his head, looked up at the calm sea, and said after a long time:

"I thought of some emotional things. Is this the poet's destination? He is old and rejected by the new era. What a grand occasion he came to China for the first time as an old man, but now?"

His tone was low, he didn't know what he thought of, and he looked into the distance.

Chen Ledao didn't know why Xu Zhimo expressed such emotion.But thinking about Xu Zhimo's life experience, he didn't know what to say.Sad and deplorable.

Yu Dafu knew Xu Zhimo better than Chen Ledao, he felt like he knew something about Xu Zhimo's exclamation.He glanced at Lu Xiaoman next to Xu Zhimo indiscriminately, but he also didn't speak.

Who made myself and Xu Zhimo feel the same way!

"Rejected by the times," Chen Ledao thought about Xu Zhimo's words, "He can't reject me!"

Lu Xiaoman and Sheng Qi went to whisper again.In order to dispel the heavy atmosphere, Yu Dafu's eyes fell on Chen Ledao, and he touched Chen Ledao's arm.

"Le Dao, are you in your 20s?" He said.

"Yeah, what's the matter?" Chen Ledao looked at him, not knowing what Yu Dafu wanted to say.

The two people in front of him are both born in the [-]s, and he is born in the [-]s. In front of these two people, he is just a younger brother.

"It looks like you're not married yet, are you? When you were at Zhimo's house, you looked at Miss Sheng's eyes. Why, did your heart move?" He raised his eyebrows at Chen Ledao, with a slight smile on his lips.very low voice

Hearing this, Xu Zhimo really got rid of the emotions of hurting spring and autumn.He looked at Chen Ledao curiously.

In terms of appearance, Sheng Qi was no worse than his wife.In terms of family background and talent, Sheng Qi's family background is even better, and his talent and learning are not much worse than his daughter-in-law's.In terms of personality, Sheng Qi is more independent and has more ideas.

Xu Zhimo thought about the preferences and personalities of Chen Ledao and Sheng Qi, and suddenly found that the two seemed to be quite suitable.He has never heard of Chen Ledao's marriage contract with anyone.

As for the rumors with Miss Feng's family, they were just rumors.Besides, the Feng family—presumably they are not a good match for Le Dao.

"."

Looking at the eyes of the two, Chen Ledao was quite speechless.

These two people are romantic on their own, but they regard themselves as the same kind!

Brother Xu, you are constantly involved with the second of the four great beauties of the Republic of China, and you have the nerve to gossip about others!Chen Ledao is really embarrassed to say.

"What are you thinking! I don't think so about Miss Sheng." Chen Le said cunningly, and argued.

"Miss Sheng and you are a good match!" Yu Dafu showed provocative eyes.

The first time I saw someone, I couldn't walk, and said I had no idea! !Old Yu, I don't believe it.

"Miss Sheng is good friends with Zhimo and Xiaoman. If you really have an idea, this is a good opportunity. And there is a great romantic poet here." He patted Xu Zhimo.

"Let Zhimo write a love poem for you, and with Xiaoman's help, it will be a matter of course! Don't you think there is any girl in this world who can't be moved by Zhimo's love poem."

Yu Dafu winked at Chen Ledao, actually thinking of a solution for him.

At this moment, Mr. Duff doesn't have the melancholy literati temperament that wrote "Autumn in the Old Capital".

When Xu Zhimo heard this, he nodded thoughtfully.

"It's not allowed to be a ghostwriter for others, but if I can use a poem to make a good story between Le Dao and Xiao Qi, I'd be very happy." Xu Zhimo smiled as he spoke.

"."

Dude, I believe that you have this strength, but I, Chen Ledao, am definitely not that kind of person! !

Chen Ledao shook his head, unable to figure out why the two of them brought the topic up to him, and it was such an unreasonable thing.

"Hey! The ship is coming, that's the ship we're waiting for!" Chen Ledao said loudly, pointing at the ship approaching from afar on the sea.

The attention of the two people was diverted, and their eyes looked towards the sea.A passenger ship did not know when it appeared on the sea.There are many figures standing on the bow of the ship, as if they are waving in this direction.

The same was true for the people on the pier, and it was a bit more lively than before.

When the ship docked, Xu Zhimo and Lu Xiaoman stepped forward in person.The old poet actually visited Shanghai once not long ago.But he left after a short stay and went to the West to give lectures.Come here this time.In fact, it is the return of lectures.

Not long after, Chen Ledao finally saw this world-famous old poet.The first time he appeared in the crowd, Chen Ledao's eyes were attracted by him.

It's not that he's so immortal, he's different from ordinary people.It's because his clothes are quite different from those in the crowd, and he has a big gray beard.

When it comes to Huzi and Huafa, it's not too outrageous to say that he is a fairy.

Xu Zhimo and Lu Xiaoman pretended to be two juniors, supporting each other on the left and the right.Chen Ledao, Yu Dafu and Sheng Qi stood by.

I was looking forward to it before I saw it, but when I saw it, I didn't know what to say.

Do you say hello, or hello, or empty your baby? ?

It doesn't seem to be good.

Xu Zhimo introduced Chen Ledao and Sheng Qi to the old poet.The old poet Yu Dafu has known him for a long time, so there is no need to introduce him.

The old man knows English, and several people communicate in English.The old man is very kind and smiles from time to time.

Compared with Brother Xu and Brother Yu, this old poet can be regarded as satisfying all Chen Ledao's imagination of a great poet.

A few people went back to Xu Zhimo's house, there was no lively dinner party, the old poet was getting old, and there were many voices against him in the current literary world.

According to the old poet, keep a low profile.He just came here to stay for a while and was about to leave.

A few people made their own food in Xu's house, and the men didn't look like people who could cook, so the two ladies did the cooking.Chen Ledao wanted to be polite and beat him up, but he was pulled out by the two of them.

Such a powerful great poet is here, what kind of dishes are you going to wash!

Several people sat around the living room, talking casually.Except for the entourage who came with the old poet, Chen Ledao was the least famous among them.

Tagore, Xu Zhimo, Yu Dafu, Chen Ledao.Anyone with a discerning eye can tell that an unknown species has been mixed in.

When several people were talking about literature, Chen Ledao would smile at the corner of his mouth, nod his head from time to time, and resolutely did not say a word.

Even with his little cultural knowledge to fool Feng Chengcheng, he still had to combine his predecessor's knowledge reserve with his own "foresight" to do it in front of these three.If you come again, it's really tricky and generous.

When talking about the current situation, Chen Ledao can intervene from time to time.But you can't talk too much.If he got to the bottom of it, he would have to reveal his true colors.

After all, we are also a time traveler, in front of the three of you.Why do you feel like you have no face?

Chen Ledao felt so depressed for the first time.

Fortunately, although the three of them are famous figures in history, they will also chat about family affairs.Chen Ledao was not so embarrassed that he clenched his toes to the floor.The old poet sat on the boat for a long time, exhausted physically and mentally, and went to bed early.

"Le Dao, it's getting late. It's dangerous for Xiao Qi to go back alone, so please help send her back."

After the dinner, Yu Dafu called Xu Zhimo away, the two went aside and muttered a few words, and Xu Zhimo told Chen Ledao when they came back.

After Xu Zhimo finished speaking, Yu Dafu winked at Chen Ledao and opened and closed his mouth silently.

"take the chance!!"

"."

This doesn't look like a literati at all!
"Oh, yes, Xiaoqi, it's too dangerous for you to go back alone, let Mr. Chen take you back." Lu Xiaoman said.

Sheng Qi naturally had a car to travel, but unfortunately the driver had already been sent away by Yu Dafu, who had planned ahead.

Not giving them a chance to object, Yu Dafu also echoed from the sidelines.These three people, at this moment, resembled those bad friends in later generations who scrambled for advice one by one in order to help their roommates get out of the singles.

Coming out of Xu's house, Chen Ledao opened the door for Sheng Qi, and sat in the driver's seat after she got into the car.

"Miss Sheng, I don't know where your home is?" Chen Ledao asked.

"Mr. Chen, I haven't been to your Yeweiyang dance hall yet. I still have time now, do you mind going with me?" Sheng Qi said with a smile.

"Miss Sheng, do you want to go to the dance hall? Of course." Chen Ledao nodded.

Sheng Qi sat next to him. Although the two were already familiar with each other, Chen Ledao still didn't know what to say.It was awkwardly quiet in the small space.

Chen Ledao's mind turned quickly, looking for topics.

"Is Miss Sheng cooking all the dishes tonight?" Chen Ledao found a bad topic.

Sheng Qi couldn't help but smile when he heard this, as if he sensed Chen Ledao's embarrassment and didn't try to expose it.

"Yes, what does Mr. Chen think?" she said.

"It's delicious, even better than those made in restaurants." Chen Ledao said.

then be quiet
Chen Ledao always thought that he could speak well, but he was really stuck at the moment.

"Mr. Chen seems to have a good chat with old Mr. Tagore tonight?" Sheng Qi took the initiative.

Chen Ledao heaved a sigh of relief, he finally had an entry point.

"Oh, I can't say I'm happy." Chen Ledao shook his head, thinking about the scene of chatting again.

"Compared to the three of them, I'm like an ignorant person."

Chen Ledao was a little glad that the person who picked him up this time was Tagore, not Einstein. If he was really a physicist, with his junior high school physics knowledge, he might ask "Mr. Einstein, how did you discover Newton?" First Law." Such a stupid question.

Chen Ledao spoke out about his embarrassing situation before without any scruples, which drew laughter from the people around him from time to time.There were more laughter, and the atmosphere in the car was finally less awkward.

"boss!"

Chen Ledao took Sheng Qi into Ye Weiyang, and met Wei Zhengyun as soon as he went up to the second floor.Wei Zhengyun glanced at Sheng Qi, then quickly withdrew his gaze without looking sideways.

Alas, there is another proprietress!Wei Zhengyun sighed in his heart.

Man, it really turns bad when you have money!
Looking at the boss with a smile on his face, he seemed to be in a good mood.Wei Zhengyun said in his heart.

Chen Ledao nodded and introduced the two to each other.

"Manager Wei, hello." Sheng Qi stretched out his hand.

Wei Zhengyun glanced at the boss and saw that there was no strange expression on the boss's face, so he lightly shook hands with her.As if it was hot, he quickly let go.

The two found an empty table and sat down.

"Your employees seem to be afraid of you?" After sitting down, Sheng Qi couldn't help but smile when he thought of Wei Zhengyun's appearance just now.

As for Xu Zhimo and the others asking Chen Ledao to send her off, she probably guessed their intentions.She didn't know if this was what Chen Ledao meant, but she thought the man in front of her was quite interesting.

Sometimes it's very talkative, and sometimes it seems a little stupid.But the most interesting point is that Chen Ledao is a little different from those people she has come into contact with.

After advocating Western learning, many of the previous red tapes have been abolished, but some clues can still be found in people.But she didn't notice anything about Chen Ledao.

Isn't that fun?

During the short contact, Chen Ledao tried his best to be like them, but she could still feel it.different.

Is this the difference between people who were born and raised in the West and those native Chinese?

She was a little curious.

Especially when entering the Yeweiyang Song and Dance Hall.After entering here, she felt as if she had found another Chen Ledao.

Chen Ledao couldn't help but smile when he heard Sheng Qi's words, and thought of Brother Dan's line.

"They're not afraid of me, they just respect me."
