Crimson Dawn

Chapter 42

Hua Xiongmao yelled and chased them outside, and with the help of the people living in the dormitory, he finally sent everyone else away.Chen Ke could imagine that the students were naturally very angry seeing his attitude.But Chen Ke wasn't angry, if anyone really left angrily, it can only be said that these people's self-cultivation is too poor.The current People's Party can't afford to take care of people like Zhang Fei.

Hearing that things were already being packed outside, Chen Ke hurriedly got up to participate in the labor.As soon as the door opened, it was easy for others to talk, but it was Yan Fu sitting at the table, which surprised Chen Ke.No wonder Hua Xiongmao didn't knock on his door.

It's not easy to go in after coming out, so Chen Ke started to clean up with everyone.Now there are six people living in the resident workshop.Chen Ke, Hua Xiongmao, Chen Tianhua, Xie Mingxian, He Zudao and Qin Wuan.Zhou Yuanxiao has already moved out.The temporary residents included the twenty people who came back with Chen Tianhua.Anyway, it wasn't cold, Chen Ke built a temporary dormitory, and the original dormitory was enough.The dormitory building where Chen Ke is urging to catch up with work in the new school.It will be capped soon.Once the dormitory building is initially completed, Chen Ke will immediately transfer the staff to the school.

There are many people who work hard, and the cleaning work is completed quickly.Chen Ke just tidied up the kitchen, brushed the vacant pots and pans, and tidied up the vacant tables and chairs.There was a lot of trouble just now, and it is estimated that everyone may not be able to eat enough.The rest of the food was piled up on four tables, and everyone sat down again, "Come on, let me toast you all. Happy Mid-Autumn Festival." Chen Ke said with a smile.

This time there was no excitement just now, and everyone really enjoyed the moon with wine tasting.

"Mr. Chen, can you play the piano?" Wang Qinian asked at the table with Chen Ke.

"know a little."

"May I listen to one or two?"

"I just feel itchy." After Chen Ke finished speaking, he ate the snacks brought by Yan Fu, and drank the rice wine in the wine glass in one gulp.Enthusiastically walked to the piano again.

On an early autumn night, in the dark blue sky, the moon is bright and the stars are sparse. The yard has been smoked with wormwood, mixed with the aroma of wine and sweet-scented osmanthus.Chen Ke felt in a good mood.With his fingers sliding smoothly across the keyboard, Chen Ke couldn't help but recall the past.

Thanks to his music-loving father, Chen Ke often went to the music room of the Railway Bureau since he was a child. There was also an upright piano there. He learned how to play the piano with his father in the spacious music room. remember.At that time, Chen Ke may not really like playing the piano, he prefers to listen to his father play.But his father also knew how to grasp Chen Ke's mind. Chen Ke practiced for 10 minutes, and his father would play a piece for him.At that time, Chen Ke admired his father very much.

Later, the family also bought a piano, and Chen Ke has since fallen into the hands of his mother.The mother's requirements are much stricter. She has to practice for two hours a day, and according to the practice time, 90% of the time is spent on etudes, and only 10% of the time can she play Chen Ke's favorite pieces.Chen Ke has never figured out why he met a strict mother and a loving father, instead of the traditional strict father and loving mother.

These days, Chen Ke often thinks of his parents.As time passed in this era, Chen Ke's hope of returning to his own era became less and less.The frequency of parents missing is also getting lower and lower.

When his fingers touched the cold keys of the piano again, Chen Ke couldn't help but think of the two closest people in the world.It has been a few months since this era, if the time on both sides is going the same, then the parents should also find out that their son is missing at this time?I don't know how anxious my parents can be when I suddenly disappear.Although Chen Ke himself has moved out, no matter what, his parents have not seen him for too long, and his disappearance will always be discovered.Although what parents have always hoped most is that Chen Ke can take control of his own life and become a person who can live freely by his own strength.However, they still miss themselves very much.

Thinking of these, Chen Ke felt a little sad.But this kind of weak emotion made Chen Ke couldn't help but think of his mother's teaching, "No one knows what will happen in the future. Whether you can live tomorrow is not certain. So, don't be fooled by those fame and fortune. It’s not that these things are bad. The problem is that if you pursue fame and fortune, you won’t get it at all. Fame and fortune are given to you by others. Only when others need you will you give fame and fortune to you. You. Therefore, if you don’t beg others, you won’t be controlled by others. Instead of pursuing those things you can’t control, you’d better do something you can control.”

Today, Chen Ke really understands what is meant by "everything in the world is impermanent".God knows how he crossed over.

In this completely unfamiliar world, the only reason Chen Ke can follow is to "do what you can control." In 1905, his historical knowledge was to tell him the course of the revolution.As for other means of earning a living, Chen Ke's knowledge cannot be used at all in this era.Whether it is chemical industry or computer, Chen Ke can only engage in these modern industries if he creates them himself.

What would parents say to themselves if they knew their foolish son had gone back in time and chosen the path of revolution again?The vivid faces of his parents that he will never forget appeared in Chen Ke's mind.The father must have a worried look and asked: "Can you do well? Don't do what you can't do." As for the mother, her beautiful mouth will slightly pull out a beautiful and resolute smile that no one else can imitate. "No matter what you choose to do. You must remember to me that what you want to pursue is the matter itself, and you must never do things for the fame and fortune that can be brought after the completion of these things. You must become an expert in this matter, determined Never change, never betray, never be a deserter."

Looking up at the moon on August [-]th in the sky, Chen Ke sat on the stool and said silently: Mom and Dad, I will no longer pursue fame and fortune, I will do according to my own ideas and complete my own career.

With a slight smile on his face, Chen Ke pressed the keys of the piano.This is "Lullaby".The hungry composer Schubert once traded the manuscript for a goulash.Later, this manuscript once set a record auction price of 400 million francs.Chen Ke likes this song very much, and the warm tune is quite suitable on this moonlit mid-autumn night.

Absolutely most of the audience at the scene have never heard of a piano performance, and most of the audience have never seen a piano, or even know that there is such an instrument as a piano.But music itself has its charms, not to mention the piano, which is known as the king of musical instruments.The beautiful sound of the piano was flowing in the yard, and even the moonlight seemed to be more peaceful.

When Chen Ke finished playing the piece, the people around him didn't respond at all. Everyone thought the piece was good, but they didn't know how to evaluate it.The exotic style that is completely different from Chinese music cannot fully resonate with the audience.

Chen Ke didn't care, he played a jazz piano casually, and Chen Ke switched to Chinese music, "What a Blossom of Jasmine", "Celebrating the Harvest", "Sesame Blossoms", "Xintianyou".When these authentic Chinese music is played on the piano, the audience can fully accept it.Many young people who had heard the music hummed along in a low voice.

But the reason why Chen Ke wanted the piano was not just for entertainment, he played and sang "My Motherland".

"A big river has wide waves, and the wind blows the fragrance of rice and flowers on both sides. My family lives on the bank, and I am used to listening to the boatman's chant and seeing the white sails on the boat.

The girl is like a flower, and the young man is so broad-minded. In order to open up a new world, he awakened the sleeping mountain and changed the appearance of the river.

Good mountains, good waters, good places, all roads are wide open, good wine for friends, if the jackal comes, there are shotguns to meet it.

This is the hero's motherland and the place where I grew up. In this ancient land, there are beautiful scenery everywhere. "

Chen Ke knew that he was definitely not as good as an artist like Guo Lanying, and more importantly, this song was originally sung for girls, and Chen Ke would never be able to sing that feeling.He sang according to his own understanding of the song.This song is good, and the lyrics are even more straightforward. Every time he sings it, Chen Ke feels as if the scene depicted in the song is right in front of his eyes.Big rivers, rice fields, boats, and sails.Chen Ke's main activity area has always been in the north of the Yangtze River, and he has never had a deep feeling for these.But since I arrived in Shaoxing, I went to Shanghai again.What I saw along the way was very apt to the lyrics.Moreover, this song is very healthy and uplifting. It is enough to express one's feelings frankly and frankly, and there is no need to be coy like singing a love song.

After the song was sung, the audience fell silent, Chen Ke closed the piano cover and stood up.Seeing Hua Xiongmao with tears in his eyes, he was the first to applaud.Although Ci Fu is still being spoken these days, the Ci Pai that can be sung has long since declined.Singing has long been one of the mainstream businesses of prostitutes.Even if men sing, most of them are local operas.Hearing such a heavenly song suddenly, everyone felt a little crazy.Hua Xiongmao led the applause, and everyone followed suit as if waking up from a dream.

Walking back to the table and just sitting down, Yan Fu asked, "Wen Qing, who wrote this song."

"I wrote it." Chen Ke took the credits of later generations as his own indifferently.

"Speaking directly from the heart, the artistic conception is very good. It's a good song." Yan Fu praised.These are not Yan Fu's polite remarks. Although Yan Fu himself doesn't eat, drink, whore and gamble, he is an official figure after all, and he still has to listen to operas and music with his friends.He has never been interested in those obscene sounds.After listening to Chen Ke's music, Yan Fu only felt refreshed.Not only is the tune simple, but the lyrics are even better.Compared with those ancient words that are either generous, heroic or tactful, although Chen Ke's lyrics are vernacular, they are not inferior in terms of intention or emotion.

"Wen Qing, teach me to sing." Hua Xiongmao said eagerly.

"Mr. Wen Qing can't let Mr. Wenqing enjoy such a good song, he must teach me how to sing it." Mao Ping also said.

"Let's watch the moon tonight, how about teaching singing tomorrow?" Chen Ke said with a smile.

"It's a deal." The comrades said one after another.

After listening to it, Chen Ke thought, everyone wants to sing, and I still have a lot of songs that I haven't taught yet.Comrades, after learning "My Motherland", the next song is "The Internationale".

After drinking a few more glasses of wine, it was getting late, and some people were already overwhelmed with alcohol, so they got up and said goodbye and went to sleep.Seeing that Yan Fu would not leave, Chen Ke knew that he had something to say, so he asked Yan Fu to sit in the classroom next to the laboratory for a while.Yan Fu naturally obeyed.

While Chen Ke was tidying up, Wang Qinian leaned over. "Wen Qing, I have something to discuss. I want to sell our medicine to Nanyang. It's not whether Wen Qing is willing."

This is good news, Chen Ke was overjoyed when he heard it. "I'll go to the hospital tomorrow, how about we discuss this matter in detail?"

"Then tomorrow I will wait for Wen Qing at the hospital."

After sending what should be sent away and what should be cleaned up, Chen Ke washed his hands, brought the teapot and snacks to the classroom.As soon as he entered the classroom, under the candlelight, Yan Fu sat there with a bleak face in a daze, as if he was frozen there.The candlelight was faint, reflecting the figure of this handsome old man indescribably strangely.

"Mr. Yan, what's the matter with you?" Chen Ke asked a little tremblingly, Yan Fu's appearance really frightened Chen Ke.

"I remembered some old things." Yan Fu's voice was quite distant, and it seemed that he hadn't broken free from his thoughts.

Chen Ke put down his things and just sat down when he saw Yan Fu facing him, but the glasses and the candle formed a strange angle. From Chen Ke's point of view, Yan Fu's glasses reflected a bright light, and he could not see Yan Fu behind the glasses at all. glasses. "About the Jiawu matter, how did Wen Qing know so carefully?"

How do I know so carefully?I have read both the enemy and the enemy, as well as a lot of materials overseas at that time, so I naturally know it so carefully.Chen Ke thought.But this must not be said to Yan Fu. "I was studying overseas at the time, and some foreign classmates speculated on Japanese government bonds at home, so I learned more from them." Chen Ke explained.

Yan Fu's breathing became heavy, and he couldn't help muttering to himself, "Even the overseas teenagers know about this, but the imperial court doesn't even know about it."

"The imperial court doesn't understand the modern intelligence system, how can it know so much?" Chen Ke laughed.

"What is a modern intelligence system." Yan Fu asked immediately.

Chen Ke told Yan Fu about the characteristics of a modern industrial country. The so-called stealing the enemy's top secrets is actually only the work of a small number of personnel in the intelligence system.For industrialized countries, especially those that are very organized, by observing many subtleties, combined with diplomacy and understanding of the strategic layout, many things can actually be judged.The transfer of various personnel, the purchase of materials, and the change of the transportation system.Even the price fluctuations of some special commodities can detect many things.Of course, these must be based on a deep understanding of industrial countries.

In fact, these words may not be correct, but Chen Ke believes that his understanding of industrial countries is far higher than that of Yan Fu.If you feel that these words are specious, then it is absolutely fine to fool Yan Fu.

Sure enough, Yan Fu nodded after listening to Chen Ke's words.

"Wen Qing, you are so young, but you are also knowledgeable. You are humble in doing things, and you are so-called thinking of others when you see the virtuous, but I don't know what Wen Qing's father is called. Maybe I am lucky enough to meet him, but I don't often know."

"Mr. Yan, before I go out, my father asked me to make an oath that I will never be allowed to mention my family background. I can't tell you frankly. I hope Mr. Yan forgives me." Whenever someone mentions Chen Ke's family background, Chen Ke always feels A very uncomfortable feeling.Although this reason has been said many times, Chen Ke still has a somewhat uncomfortable expression.

Yan Fu nodded after listening, and stared at Chen Ke for a while, Yan Fu suddenly said: "Wen Qing's talent is far superior to mine, but how old am I? I want to take Wen Qing as a disciple, but I don't know what Wen Qing will do ?”

"Ah?" Chen Ke couldn't help swallowing after hearing the unexpected words, "Mr. Yan, are you joking?"

"I used to be the general manager of the Beiyang Naval Academy. Although there are many students studying in the Naval Academy, but to be honest, they are students of the Naval Academy, not my students. I am not joking, I want Wen Qing is my student."

I see.Only then did Chen Ke understand.Different from modern education, in ancient times, accepting apprentices was a very serious matter.The so-called master, this teacher is a figure on the same level as his father.It is not uncommon for apprentices to commit crimes and cause disasters to masters.When Yan Fu said this, he meant to establish a personal master-student relationship with Chen Ke and Yan Fu.Once this relationship is established, it means that Yan Fu will endorse Chen Ke's social relationship.With Yan Fu's great reputation, Chen Ke's net worth doubled immediately.The status of Yan Fu's disciple, among Yan Fu's relatives and friends, just looking at this status, he must be more polite to Chen Ke.Where they can help, they will also help.Moreover, this proposal is very attractive to Chen Ke. After becoming Yan Fu's disciple, he can greatly make up for his unknown origin.

However, Chen Ke didn't want to agree.Power implies duty.Becoming Yan Fu's personal disciple, in this era when everyone recognizes his master, means that those who defect to Chen Ke are all Yan Fu's lineage in a sense.Yan Fu's evaluation of the new-style school and the old-style master-student is extremely correct.After establishing a personal master-student relationship, Chen Ke must assume certain obligations.There is nothing unfair about this, everyone knows the definition of this kind of master-student relationship, and this kind of master-student relationship was established when Chen Ke was an adult, there is absolutely no compulsion.This is not good for Chen Ke.

"This..." Chen Ke was talking about how to politely reject Yan Fu's suggestion.After all, a big man like Yan Fu made this request bluntly.It's very embarrassing to be flatly rejected.If it is not handled properly and Yan Fu is angered, it will definitely not be a good thing for Chen Ke, who has no deep roots.

Before Chen Ke finished speaking, Yan Fu said: "Wen Qing's ambition, I have read Wen Qing's books, listened to Wen Qing's lectures, and seen Wen Qing's military training. Today's students can tell Wen Qing's thoughts. , if Wen Qing thinks that I don't know anything about it, she will underestimate me."

Hearing Yan Fu's words, Chen Ke was startled, could it be that his revolutionary ideas were so easily seen through.What a failure.But since Yan Fu has seen through his thoughts and still wants to keep himself as a disciple, with Yan Fu's identity, he will not be deceiving himself.But I have never heard that Yan Fu is a revolutionary party.

"The world is in chaos today. If Wen Qing wanted to join the imperial court, he would have already become an official. Since Wen Qing cares about the country, he refuses to become an official. And he gathers the party. I don't want to talk about the rest. "Yan Fu's words were straightforward.

"Mr. Yan, with your talent. Personally, I really hope to become Mr. Yan's disciple. But since Mr. Yan knows my ambition, I must know that what I do in the future will inevitably hurt Mr. Yan. Let me tell the truth, now If I worship Mr. Yan as my teacher, all I ask is for Mr. Yan's help. As a disciple, I'm afraid I can't do one thing. Even if Mr. Yan doesn't care about it, I have a guilty conscience. Therefore, Yan I still can't do what you want, sir."

"Shouldn't a teacher help his disciples? What Wen Qing said may be dangerous to others in the eyes of others. But to me, it is completely different. In today's China, if Wen Qing is in power, he will definitely not be reduced to what he is today. The situation. Wen Qing refused to follow the imperial court, but people have their own ambitions. But if I can't help people like Wen Qing, I feel uncomfortable. And I didn't help Wen Qing for my own power and position. Qing gave me a helping hand. Wen Qing doesn’t need to worry about this.”

Chen Ke didn't doubt Yan Fu's words, but Yan Fu has no ideas now, which doesn't mean he has no ideas in the future.Even if Yan Fu had no idea, others would definitely have an idea.So Chen Ke would never agree to this matter.

Yan Fu knew from Chen Ke's expression that Chen Ke would not agree, but he didn't look annoyed. "What Wenqing is looking at now, I probably guess, is to rely on the soil. The difficulty of this matter is unknown."

Chen Ke secretly admired that this old handsome guy's vision is still very accurate, and he has been working hard to prepare for the establishment of a base.

"But no matter what, Wen Qing must go north once. Although I am from Fujian, I have never liked northerners very much. Moreover, the south seems to be prosperous in today's world. But the real hero who can determine the situation is still in the north. If Wen Qing wants to To achieve great things, we need the help of heroes from the north. I want to take Wen Qing as a disciple, just to let Wen Qing go to Beijing. Many of my old friends are in Beijing and Tianjin, and there are many talents among them. I want to introduce Wen Qing to them .”

After hearing this, Chen Ke couldn't help being really moved.In fact, he also wanted to go to the north to establish a party branch, but suffered from no breakthrough point.If Chen Ke went alone, the heroes in the north would not agree with Chen Ke as a "fake foreign devil" and a "real comprador".With Yan Fu's help, he could really go to Beijing.But Chen Ke still didn't want to worship Yan Fu as his teacher.After all, Chen Ke is the leader of the People's Party. Without the consent of the party branch, Chen Ke cannot make decisions on such matters by himself.

"This..." Chen Ke hesitated to speak.

"There is no need to worry about this matter. After listening to Wen Qing talk about many things today, I also feel something. That's why I hastily accepted Wen Qing as a disciple. This matter can be discussed in a long-term way." After finishing speaking, Yan Fu stood up. "It's getting late, so I'm leaving."

Chen Ke sent Yan Fu to the door with a relaxed mood.

"Wen Qing doesn't have to be sent far away. Just leave here." Yan Fu said.

"Mr. Yan, please forgive me for offending something in my words." Chen Ke was still a little apprehensive.

"It's the so-called, you don't hesitate to do things, and you don't forget your life when you see the benefits. Wen Qing, you have done a good job. Work hard." After Yan Fu finished speaking, he waved his hand slightly to Chen Ke.The old handsome man walked briskly, walking towards the street with the powerful movements that only soldiers can do.Although he has braids, his figure is not annoying at all in Chen Ke's eyes.

Seeing Yan Fu's disappearing figure, Chen Ke finally breathed a sigh of relief.The party members are not here today, so I must tell them about Yan Fu tomorrow.By the way, tomorrow I still have to remember that Wang Qinian proposed to sell medicine to Nanyang.Watching Yan Fu's figure disappear at the corner of the street.Chen Ke entered the yard, carefully closed the door and bolted it.Covering the piano with a piece of cloth, Chen Ke went back to the dormitory after looking around again.Lying on the bed, Chen Keben thought he would think a lot.Unexpectedly, not long after lying down, he fell asleep.
