The Rise of the Writers of the Republic of China

Chapter 265 264 [Literary Girl]

Affected by foreign customs, some missionary schools in the Republic of China were the first to have a trend of selecting school flowers. Some schools are called "School Flowers", and some schools are called "Queens". For example, Zhou Hexuan's fiancée Zhang Leyi was once the queen of Zhongxi Girls' School and Jinling University.

In Peking, Yenching University and Tsinghua University are the most important, because these two universities are missionary schools, and every year there are good people who choose "school belle" and "queen".

Although Peking University was not infected with this kind of atmosphere, after Ma Jue entered Peking University, he was recognized by the students as the "queen" immediately, and his name was all over the capital, eclipsing the beauty of Yanda and Tsinghua University. Even a few years later, when the investigation team of the International Federation visited China, the academic circles in Peking specially invited Ma Jue to receive and accompany them.

Someone once said that Ma Yuzao's greatest contribution in his life was to give birth to a beautiful daughter for Peking University.

It is said that Ma Jue receives dozens of love letters every day. Because there are so many students who admire her, the boys call Ma Yuzao "the father-in-law" in private.

Well, Peking University father-in-law.

The well-known scholar Professor Zhu Wenliang, because he entered school too late, every time he held a class reunion later, he sighed with emotion: "It is too late for the rest of my life, and it is too late to see the prosperity of three generations."

When Ma Jue was studying at Peking University, a student surnamed Xiao committed suicide by jumping off a building because of unsuccessful pursuits. Fortunately, he was rescued. This matter caused a lot of trouble, coupled with other messy reasons, Ma Jue dropped out of school and married an ordinary civil servant in Tianjin.

Zhou Hexuan had admired the name "Queen Ma" for a long time, and seeing it with his own eyes at this time, he found that the skin on Ma Yu's face was frighteningly fine, rosy and white, and could be broken by blowing bullets. The face is a slightly round oval face, with big eyes, without any makeup, she is the kind of gentle and cute cute girl.

"Hi student Ma." Zhou Hexuan nodded and smiled.

Ma Yuzao came out from the back room, shook hands with Zhou Hexuan and said, "Principal Zhou, this time is thanks to you."

"Where, I didn't show up. The students were busy running around to make contact." Zhou Hexuan said.

Ma Yuzao sighed: "Although Principal Zhou didn't come forward, your name is the most important thing, and no one can do this."

Calling schools to resume classes, and teachers not being paid to resume classes, is really up to Zhou Hexuan.

Chinese people are famous for their excellence in everything. After all, Zhou Hexuan is the former president of Peking University. As long as he is willing to stand up, he will naturally win people's hearts. Otherwise, everyone will be like a piece of loose sand, and no one will obey anyone.

Ma Yuzao is an old man of Peking University. He has served as the head of the Chinese Department for more than ten years. He has not left the school during several low tides. He desperately hopes that Peking University can resume classes as soon as possible.

"Second brother, why didn't you tell me that you resume classes in series?" Ma Heng asked.

Ma Yuzao smiled and said, "You are very busy at the Forbidden City, so I don't want to disturb you."

Ma Heng said: "I can't miss this kind of thing."

Not long after, Ma Yuzao's wife, Chen Dexin, came out with a meal and called Zhou Hexuan and the Sun brothers who were accompanying him to sit down and eat.

Chen Dexin was a progressive new woman who was sent to study in Japan in the late Qing Dynasty. That is not easy, you have to be good at learning, let alone she is a woman.

Ma Heng's younger sister, Ma Yan, also sat at the table. Little Lolita seemed a little shy, and timidly peeked at Zhou Hexuan and said nothing.

Ma Yuzao helped Zhou Hexuan fill a glass of white wine, and said, "Principal Zhou, everything has been arranged for tomorrow."

"Mr. Lao Youyu." Zhou Hexuan raised his glass.

Ma Heng asked curiously: "What arrangement?"

Zhou Hexuan and Ma Yuzao looked at each other and smiled, and Ma Yuzao said, "Make a show for the reporters. Shuping, you should dress a bit more shabby tomorrow, and wear out that gown with several patches."

"Aren't you lying?" Ma Heng was speechless. "Friends who are familiar with me, who doesn't know that my father-in-law's family is rich? No matter how I pretend to be poor, I don't pretend to be like that!"

Zhou Hexuan laughed and said, "No one will expose you."

Ma Heng waved his hands again and again: "No, no, I should wear whatever I want tomorrow, and I won't act with you."

"It's up to you," Ma Yuzao said, "Anyway, I'm a poor man with a wife and a daughter."

Ma Jue blinked his big eyes and said with a smile: "Okay, Dad, you guys are actually discussing and deceiving people."

Zhou Hexuan said: "This is not called deception, this is called strategy."

"Anyway, it's a lie." Ma Jue said.

Zhou Hexuan asked: "Are you also studying at Peking University? Do you hope that Peking University will resume classes as soon as possible?"

Ma Jue said: "I'm in the preparatory department, and we didn't suspend classes. But of course I hope that the undergraduate department will resume classes soon."

At this time, the Peking University Preparatory Department is equivalent to the high school affiliated to Peking University, and it also needs to be admitted based on ability. However, after completing the three-year preparatory course, you can enter the undergraduate course without examination.

Zhou Hexuan asked Ma Yuzao in surprise: "The preparatory course is not suspended?"

Ma Yuzao said with a smile: "The preparatory department is small and has not been merged, so everyone discussed and decided to use the school's little funds to maintain the teaching of the preparatory department."

"Peking University still has money, you can really save money." Zhou Hexuan said with a smile.

"It's the money from the Peking University Student Bank, which was deposited by previous students. We dare not use it indiscriminately. Even if the teachers can't afford the salary, the bank must keep a part of the principal so that the students will not have money to use when withdrawing money," Ma Yuzao said rather Enviously said, "Yan University and Tsinghua University are still rich, and Gengzi's tuition is more than enough. I heard that after Luo Jialun became the principal, Tsinghua University plans to build two teaching buildings at the same time, and also buy a lot of experimental equipment."

After the meal was finished slowly, Ma Yuzao kept pouring wine, and Zhou Hexuan was a little dizzy after drinking it.

Ma Jue came out holding the copy of "The Goddess", and asked for advice, "Mr. Zhou, I don't understand something here. What do you want to express in the conversation after the heroine meets the city god?"

Zhou Hexuan did not explain, but said: "It is best for children not to read such realistic books."

"I'm not a child," Ma Jue said, "Mr. Lu Xun also writes on realistic subjects, and I read all his books. I often write to him and ask him for advice on literature."

Ma Jue and Lu Xun had a very good relationship. Until Ma Jue got married, Lu Xun would mail books to Ma Jue every once in a while.

Zhou Hexuan laughed and said, "Mr. Lu Xun's works are different from mine."

"I think they are all similar. "Goddess" is very similar to "Diary of a Madman," Ma Jue thought for a while, and smiled, "However, your style of writing is very different. Mr. Lu Xun likes to use witty words to swear, your book loves Using metaphors, you have to turn your head to see that it is ironic."

"That's because you haven't watched "Dog Officer"." Zhou Hexuan said.

Ma Jue said, "I'll look for it some other day. By the way, just wait..."

After finishing speaking, Ma Jue ran back to her boudoir, brought a manuscript and said, "Mr. Zhou, this is a novel I tried to write, please help me correct it."

Zhou Hexuan began to read with a feeling of drunkenness.

The font of the novel manuscript is beautiful, hundreds of times better than Zhou Hexuan's ghost drawing symbols. The heroine is a student who falls in love with an ordinary-looking but talented young man. Their families are asymmetrical, so the woman's parents strongly oppose it. The hero chooses to defect to the revolution, but dies on the battlefield of the Northern Expedition...

"What about the next plot?" Zhou Hexuan asked.

"I haven't fully figured it out yet, but I want to create an independent woman in the new era," Ma Jue said enthusiastically, "Mr. Zhou, please help me with my evaluation."

Zhou Hexuan thought for a while and said: "This novel is beautifully written, and it can be seen that you have a strong literary foundation. But playing with words is a bit too much, and the novel does not need too many gorgeous rhetoric. As for the content and plot, it is relatively old-fashioned. It should be inspired by mandarin ducks and butterflies. The double influence of Pai and problem novels. These stories are all made up by you, and some details are out of touch with reality, which seems unconvincing and substituting."

"That's it." Ma Jue was quite frustrated.

Zhou Hexuan said with a smile: "At your age, it's better to write poetry and prose. Even if you write novels, it's best to write recreational novels. Problem novels are not suitable for you, because your life and social experience are not enough."

"I also wrote some poems, and I'll show you." Ma Jue said and ran back to the boudoir to get the poems.

There are probably more than a dozen of these poems, all of which are new poems, and the contents are mostly girls' sorrows and sorrows, as well as beautiful fantasies about love.

It is still beautiful to read, and Ma Jue has a very solid literary foundation. It's a pity that she has no worries about food and clothing since she was a child, and has never experienced setbacks, so the things she writes seem flashy.

The most outstanding female writers in the literary world of the Republic of China are undoubtedly Lu Yin, Xiao Hong and Ding Ling. The first two have rough backgrounds, and the latter belongs to a revolutionary fighter. Their writing is naturally shocking, which is far beyond what a boudoir lady like Ma Jue can compare.

"It's well written." Zhou Hexuan could only comment like this, not wanting to dampen the girl's enthusiasm too much.

"Really?"

Ma Jue said happily: "Can I write to you later? Ask you some literary questions."
