Chapter 353 352【Talented Woman】
In mid-March, Einstein had already arrived in Shanghai, and accompanied Cai Yuanpei to visit Nanjing.
Chang Kaishen took time to meet Einstein and invited him to listen to the opera and share the dinner together, and Song Meiling accompanied him throughout the next few days.
As for Chang Kaishen, he had other important matters.
Since February of this year, Chang Kaishen and Yan Xishan have been sending telegrams frantically, and they are all public telegrams that have been telegraphed across the country. The two accused each other in the telegram, and both wanted to gain the support of public opinion and take advantage of the country's righteousness. It took a full month to electrify, and people at the time called it a "telegraph war."
Just a few days ago, Chang Kaishen held the third plenary meeting of the Kuomintang Central Committee in Nanjing and formally decided to expel Wang Zhaoming from the party.
The warlord leaders immediately responded to this. Yan Xishan, Feng Yuxiang, Li Zongren, Bai Chongxi and other 57 generals listed Chang Kaishen's six crimes, and recommended Yan Xishan as the commander-in-chief of the armed forces, Li Zongren, Feng Yuxiang, and Zhang Xueliang as the deputy commander-in-chief. Commander-in-Chief, be ready to attack the Central Army at any time.
The Central Plains War is about to break out, and warlords everywhere are preparing for war. Only Zhang Xueliang was still observing the direction of the wind. Although he participated in the anti-Chiang operation, he was only talking about it, and the Northeast Army did not take any action.
Many newspapers, including "Ta Kung Pao", have repeatedly called on all parties to calm down, to have peace and not to war.
Manuscripts of Ta Kung Pao that had been kept under the box for many years were taken out, revised and republished, and the money, food and materials consumed by the warlords' melee, as well as the population and economic losses caused by the warlords' melee in the past ten years were enumerated. It is also predicted that if this war starts, it will suffer more losses than any civil war since the Revolution of 1911, and it will even exceed the Northern Expedition. Immediately afterwards, "Ta Kung Pao" listed many project funding gaps in the fields of industry, agriculture, commerce, and education, and advised all parties to invest military expenditures in national production and construction.
This series of reports lasted for half a month and won wide support from all walks of life. Everyone hoped that there would be no more wars.
However, no warlord will listen to the voice of the people.
...
"Oh, we're going to fight again." Zhou Hexuan reluctantly threw away the newspaper.
Although Cui Huifu is not interested in the current situation, she often helps Puyi sort out the newspapers and knows current political news very well. She couldn't help asking: "Which side does Mr. Zhou think can win?"
Zhou Hexuan said: "The central government must win, otherwise China is in danger."
"Why do you say that?" Cui Huilou asked curiously.
"After the victory of the Northern Expedition, the warlords of all parties managed to reshuffle their cards with great difficulty, and the distribution of benefits reached a delicate balance," Zhou Hexuan explained, "Now that the balance has been broken by Chang Kaishen, if the central government wins, the situation in various places can slowly recover. Normal. If the central government fails, given the complex situation of the local coalition forces, it will inevitably reshuffle the cards again. Once the distribution of benefits is uneven, it will range from warlords to separate regimes, and the world will be in chaos."
Cui Huipo draws an inference: "Just like the Qing Dynasty, although it is corrupt, the central government can at least maintain the situation. The revolutionary army overthrew the Qing Dynasty, and the country immediately fell apart. The war lasted for more than 20 years."
"That's right." Zhou Hexuan liked to chat with Cui Huilu very much, because this woman was extremely intelligent, and she could explain some truths even if she didn't understand.
The Cui family sisters have moved here for several days. Cui Huimei doesn't understand anything, she is incapable of going out to work, and she feels wronged to be a servant at home. Zhou Hexuan simply recommended her to study in Nankai Girls' High School.
Cui Huifu is very satisfied with this arrangement, and she also hopes that her younger sister will read more books, so that she can speak decently in the future and find a good husband's family more easily.
As for Cui Huifu herself, she joined the radio station and was responsible for writing broadcast scripts, and at the same time began to take over some management work. She was able to manage Puyi's house in an orderly manner, and in the future she would also be the head of the House of Internal Affairs of the Puppet Manchukuo Palace, which shows that she still has a set of management.
After getting along for a few days, Zhou Hexuan found that Cui Huilou knew a lot, and she deserved to be called a talented woman.
Not to mention piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, Cui Huifu is also proficient in embroidery, and her needlework is not weaker than that of top embroiderers. Not only can she play guzheng, pipa and other traditional instruments, but she can also play the piano, at least at the amateur tenth level. Cui Huifu also taught herself English. Although her spoken English is not easy, her written English is extremely fluent.
To be honest, with Cui Huilou's IQ, in future generations, she is definitely at the level of a top student, and she can easily be admitted to Peking University and Tsinghua University.
Her photographic memory is by no means a lie. For a 3,000-word article, Cui Huifu can recite the whole text after memorizing it for a while, and can retell the outline after a few days of asking.
The worst thing about Zhou Hexuan was the handwriting. Now that Cui Huifu is here, he can teach Zhou Hexuan how to practice calligraphy.
At the desk.
Zhou Hexuan only wrote a few words before being stopped by Cui Huifu.
Cui Huifu pointed to Zhou Hexuan's hand and said, "Mr. Zhou, your posture for holding the pen is wrong. Your wrist is not flat, causing the barrel of the pen to tilt, making it difficult to control the direction of the pen tip, and the gestures you write will be seriously deformed."
"Uh, this is a habit I've developed from writing with a pen for a long time." Zhou Hexuan said awkwardly. He felt that his calligraphy practice this year was wasted, and he really needed to find a good master.
Cui Huifu simply taught by hand. She opened Zhou Hexuan's fingers and said: "When holding the brush, you must 'point your finger firmly and hold your hand empty'. 'Finger solid' means that your fingers must be strong when holding the brush, dense but not loose. The characters written in this way, In order not to appear vain, the ink is stable and not overflowing. "Palm void" means that the muscles and bones of the palm should be relaxed, otherwise the fingers and wrists will become stiff when writing a few more words, which is not conducive to pen handling."
Both Zhang Leyi and Wanrong are good at calligraphy, but when they taught Zhou Hexuan how to practice calligraphy, they spoke vaguely, not as clear and concise as Cui Huifu.
After Zhou Hexuan adjusted his brush holding posture, according to Cui Huifu's guidance, he quickly understood the basics of writing brush characters. When he started to write again, he instantly felt a lot easier, as if he had suddenly enlightened.
After half a day of practice, Zhou Hexuan's brush calligraphy has been well-written.
Well, this is because Zhou Hexuan feels good about himself, but in Cui Huilou's view, it is still horrible.
Cui Huifu wanted to laugh when she saw Zhou Hexuan's calligraphy, and at the same time, she was even more curious about him: it's really strange that a famous university student at home and abroad can write like Mengtong.
"Sir, sir!"
A maid suddenly rushed in, without even bothering to knock on the door, and said in a panic, "The madam just ducked down and said it was a stomachache, and she seemed to be about to give birth."
Hearing this, Zhou Hexuan immediately dropped the brush and ran out quickly.
Sun Yongzhen had already asked the driver to prepare the car, Zhou Hexuan helped Zhang Leyi out, and Cui Huifu hurriedly followed.
Zhang Leyi's childbirth this time was obviously much smoother than Meng Xiaodong's. She is a big fat boy with a thick head and a tiger head.
Zhou Hexuan didn't bother to rack his brains to think of a name anymore. He planned to go to Tsinghua University again in a few days and asked those masters of Chinese studies to help him.
