Chapter 253: 252 [Please Matchmaker]
Zhou Hexuan was very tragic. He didn't even meet his second uncle, Zhang Yuanxi, and was directly turned away.
In the hotel, Zhou Hexuan crossed his legs and patted the handrail with his fingers, thinking about how to solve the matter.
Sun Yonghao gnawed on the unpeeled sour pear, and said without hesitation: "Sir, let me tell you. You should elope with Miss Zhang, cook the cooked rice with raw rice, and take it back to your mother's house when you have a child, my father-in-law Do you have to pinch your nose and admit it?"
"Just talking nonsense, you can interrupt your husband's marriage?" Sun Yongzhen immediately taught his brother a lesson.
"Hehe, I'm just talking." Sun Yonghao rubbed his forehead and smirked.
Zhou Hexuan said to himself: "Since Mr. Zhang likes to be a vassal, if you want to persuade him, you need to start from this aspect... Yonghao, go and buy me all the local newspapers in Jiangxi that you can find in the market. !"
"Okay!" Sun Yonghao went out happily.
Half an hour later, Sun Yonghao came back with a thick stack of newspapers.
Zhou Hexuan picked current affairs news to read, and soon found the news he wanted: Zhu Peide, chairman of the Jiangxi Provincial Government, is currently recovering from illness in a villa on Mount Lu.
Last month, Zhu Peide also went to Peiping, and together with Chang Kaishen, Feng Yuxiang, Yan Xishan and others, held a funeral ceremony in front of the former Prime Minister's spirit. Then he participated in the Tangshan Conference (the spoils distribution conference) and participated in the discussion of the military reorganization plan and military opinions.
It was also during this period that Zhu Peide contracted an illness and stayed in Peking Union Medical College Hospital for several days. He didn't even attend the Fifth Plenary Session of the Kuomintang Central Committee in Nanjing, so he returned to Jiangxi by himself and resigned as the chairman of the provincial government, but was persuaded to stay, and then hid in a Lushan villa to "recover his illness".
In fact, Zhu Peide's illness has recovered a long time ago, he just didn't want to be ordered to go to Jingxue Mountain to "suppress the bandits", because Mr. Zhu is always his best friend.
It was also for this reason that Zhu Peide "recovered" in Lushan Mountain last year. At that time, Chang Kaishen asked Zhu Peide to purge the party. Zhu Peide knew that Boss Zhu had problems, but he handed over all the military and political power in Nanchang to Boss Zhu, and hid himself far away in Lushan Mountain.
Zhou Hexuan didn't want to get involved in the dispute between the two parties. He had only one purpose - to ask Zhu Peide to help him as a matchmaker.
Zhou Hexuan inquired about Zhu Peide's hobbies, but found that this gentleman doesn't prostitute, gamble, or love money, and he can't find any weakness to flatter and make friends with.
There was no other way, Zhou Hexuan could only come to see him empty-handed.
Lushan Villa.
Zhu Peide had had breakfast and was reading the newspaper when suddenly the secretary came in and reported: "Chairman, there is Mr. Zhou Hexuan asking to see you outside."
"Is it Zhou Hexuan who wrote "The Chrysanthemum and the Sword" and contacted Northeast Yiqi?" Zhu Peide was in Beiping some time ago and heard about Zhou Hexuan. He said, "Mr. Zhou, please come in."
At this time, Zhu Peide was already a little fatter, with a soldier's cropped hair, sitting there with a rather calm and dignified demeanor.
Zhou Hexuan clasped his fists and said, "Chairman Zhu, please forgive me for taking the liberty to visit."
"Where is there, please sit down," Zhu Peide said with a smile, "I stayed in Pingjin some time ago, but I often heard rumors about Mr. Zhou. Especially the people in Tianjin say that Mr. Zhou is a good man. And Mr.'s book " "The Chrysanthemum and the Sword", I read it a lot when I was recuperating in the hospital and benefited a lot."
"The words of a family are laughable and generous." Zhou Hexuan said modestly.
In history, on the eve of the full-scale outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Zhu Peide died of illness suddenly.
Chang Kaishen seriously suspected that Japanese spies had poisoned him, and ordered Dai Li to thoroughly investigate the cause of Zhu Peide's death. Although the investigation was fruitless, it can reflect that Zhu Peide occupied a very important position in the preparations for the War of Resistance - Zhu Peide was also actively anti-Japanese, and he called for resistance to Japan after the September 18th Incident.
It is a pity that Zhu Peide passed away before the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War. Otherwise, with his military talent and positive anti-Japanese attitude, he might be able to command and fight a few beautiful battles.
"It's not a family opinion," Zhu Peide said, waving his hands. "I met with Brother Baili three years ago, and he also often said that the Japanese will never die, and they will be China's future enemy."
Zhou Hexuan said with a smile: "Coincidentally, I just met Brother Baili last month, and I had the audacity to ask him for calligraphy."
"Oh, is Brother Baili okay?" Zhu Peide asked.
"Occasionally coughing, it's an old problem." Zhou Hexuan said.
Zhu Peide sighed and said, "He is just too hot-tempered, and he shoots himself at the slightest disagreement, and as a result, he develops old problems that are difficult to heal."
Zhou Hexuan said with a smile: "But it was a blessing in disguise, and I married a gentle and virtuous Japanese wife."
"Hahahaha, that's true." Zhu Peide laughed loudly.
Jiang Baili's wife Zuo Mei, formerly known as Sato Yadeng, was the Japanese nurse who was invited to take care of Jiang Baili after he committed suicide and was injured.
Although Zuo Mei was Japanese, she became a Chinese citizen after marrying Jiang Baili. Even if a war broke out between China and Japan, she would always stand by her husband and the Chinese from beginning to end.
Because of having mutual friends, Zhu Peide and Zhou Hexuan became much closer.
Zhu Peide asked: "Mr. Zhou is sure about the change of banner in the Northeast? How does Young Marshal Zhang think about it?"
"Young Marshal Zhang really wants China to be unified, and he is also a patriot," Zhou Hexuan said with a smile. "Speaking of patriotism, there is another model in Northeast China."
"Who is it?" Zhu Peide asked.
"Feng Delin's son, Feng Yong," Zhou Hexuan said, "after his father died, Feng Yong spent all his family wealth and raised more than 3 million yuan for education. His school is free of tuition fees, and it mainly focuses on science and engineering. No matter the teacher in the school As a student, I have to undergo military training every day, which is to prepare for fighting the Japanese in the future.”
"There is such a thing?" Zhu Peide said in admiration, "He is really a patriotic and righteous man, but it's a pity that we don't have the chance to see him."
Zhou Hexuan said with a smile: "There will be opportunities in the future."
Zhu Peide sighed and said: "There is still a big gap between China and Japan. Fortunately, now that the country is about to be unified, we can work hard to develop industries. China has a vast land, abundant resources and a large population. As long as we develop patiently, we will be able to catch up with Japan one day."
"I think so too." Zhou Hexuan echoed, but he was sighing in his heart: Reunification is not about fighting every year, and the golden ten years are just nice to say.
Zhu Peide was also a patriot in his bones. Among the generals of the Northern Expedition, only Zhu Peide and Feng Yuxiang were lenient towards the Red Party, and he did it even bolder. For the members of the Red Party who are willing to leave, Zhu Peide reissues the military salary and sends them out of the country; for the Red Party members who are willing to stay, Zhu Peide can still use them, and he still entrusts them with important tasks-such as Boss Zhu.
In history, when Zhu Peide passed away, he left three last words to Chang Kaishen: First, the Anti-Japanese War is imminent, and the national power is limited. After I die, please bury me in a simple way. Second, for the children of the family, let them support themselves, and don't treat them favorably because of me. Third, don't blame Ms. Ye (family nurse), because our country's medicine is underdeveloped and cannot relieve the virus.
The two chatted from Japan to the United States. Zhou Hexuan said: "Chairman Zhu, the United States is likely to have an economic crisis next year. At that time, the industrial equipment and industrial talents in the United States will be extremely cheap. If Jiangxi wants to develop the local economy, it can take this opportunity to cooperate with the United States."
"Really?" Zhu Peide asked in surprise.
Zhou Hexuan said with a smile: "This is my guess. It is based on scientific inference. We will see the result at that time. If Chairman Zhu has intentions, I can help to contact him after the US economic crisis breaks out."
"Then I'll have to work." Zhu Peide didn't take it too seriously, who knows what will happen in the future?
The two chatted all morning, and Zhu Peide asked Zhou Hexuan to stay for lunch.
Lunch was very simple, and it was a regular meal. Zhu Peide's wife and children were also there.
It was not until the afternoon that Zhou Hexuan explained his intention: "Chairman Zhu, I have a heartfelt request."
"Please speak." Zhu Peide said.
Zhou Hexuan told the story in detail, including Song Ziwen's story.
Zhu Peide laughed and said: "It seems that I can't hide. Song Ziwen came to Lushan last year to find me, otherwise he would not have the chance to contact the Zhang family. Don't worry, I will be old this month. Can let It is a great merit for lovers to get married in the end."
"So, thank you very much!" Zhou Hexuan saluted with cupped fists.
That night, Zhou Hexuan stayed at Zhu Peide's Lushan villa. In the early morning of the next day, he and Zhu Peide headed straight to Zhang's lakeside bungalow.
With the chairman of the Jiangxi provincial government as a matchmaker, Zhang Mouzhi couldn't refuse.
