Please visit us using the pinyin domain name of this site. After being driven out of the Forbidden City by Feng Yuxiang, Puyi lived in the Prince Chun Mansion for a while and moved to the Tianjin Concession for the second year. He lived in the prestigious Zhangyuan and moved to Jingyuan two years ago.
The Tianjin Concession was taken back by the nationals in 1929, but it was only nominally taken back. The world Jingyuan, which is still a foreigner, covers an area of about 2,000 square meters within the original Japanese Concession. The house, originally Lu Zongyu, was called Ganyuan, and Puyi moved here before he changed it to Jingyuan.
The deposed emperor Puyi likes to make friends with senior officials of the Republic of China and celebrities from all walks of life, and likes to deal with the little emperor. Chen Zikun, as the chairman of the National Construction Supervision Commission, has a high reputation and is second only to Zhang Xueliang, who dominates the north. In addition, the two have known each other for many years, Puyi naturally wants to invite him to visit.
Chen Zikun and three wives went to Yanjingyuan with lights and decorations. Is it so lively? Many cars were parked in front of the gate. The housekeeper guarding the door saw Chairman Chen with the Samsung flag running back in a special car and reported that it was not long before Puyi went out to greet him in person.
This is a thin young man in his twenties with a medium figure wearing round frame myopia glasses and greasy hair separated from the middle. He was elegantly dressed in a shiny leather shoes. He was in a genuine British accent: "Welcome to respect Chairman Chen"
Chen Zikun stepped forward and shook hands with him and introduced his three wives.
Yao Yilei met Puyi ten years ago, and he was still half a boy. Now he is an adult, but his appearance has not changed much. He is still sharp-mouthed and slightly obscene. She naturally has nothing to shock and calmly accepts Puyi's kissing gift.
Jianbing is also a breeze and a singular wind. She is born in the Shanghai fireworks industry and the idea of equality brought by the early foreigners in Shanghai is deeply rooted in people's hearts and is not interested in imperial power.
Xia Xiaoqing is different. The grass-roots heroes in Yanzhao are still full of awe of the emperor. They want to see the emperor before, only burning incense for eight lifetimes, and smoke comes from the ancestral tomb. But why does this emperor look very different from what he imagines?
In Xia Xiaoqing's mind, the emperor should be wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, a big red tassel, a big hat, and a tall and majestic figure. Why is he actually a little man like this? It's okay, but as the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty, it's a bit unreasonable.
She was thinking about it here, but others didn't know how to talk about it. After a simple greeting, everyone entered the hall. Today, the guests were filled with upper class people in foreign clothes. Westerners and Eastern people. Local gentry and wise men in Tianjin. The old and young man of the Manchus came to see Chen Zikun and bowed their heads. They were very polite.
Puyi introduced his two wives, Empress Wanrong and Shufei Wenxiu, to Chen Zikun, the second daughter of Wenxiu, was a wealthy lady, but she had a Western-style dress and spoke like a fashionable person with a new style education.
Chen Zikun waved his hand and presented the gift. The exquisite packaging was three rose gold Swiss watches, one for men and two for women.
"Breguet! That's great. I was about to ask someone to take him from Shanghai. Thank you. Puyi was very excited and couldn't let go of it. Wanrong and Wenxiu were also knowledgeable. They knew that the precious smile of this watch, Yingying thanked Chen Zikun and his wife.
"What kind of gift do you want me to see?" A girl in men's clothing squeezed over from the side, who was twenty-four or fifteen years old, was pretty.
Puyi said: "This is Prince Su's fourteenth girl Dongzhen likes to wear men's clothes and ride horses like boys."
Dongzhen said: "I also like flying planes."
Chen Zikun said: "Oh, I wonder which model of aircraft the 14th Princess is good at flying?"
Dongzhen's eyes flowed on Chen Zikun and asked, "You are the famous General Chen Kunwu."
Chen Zikun said: "Is it the princess in the lower class who has any advice?"
Dongzhen giggled and held the wine glass and pulled Wanrong and ran away.
Puyi said: "Dongzhen is a crazy girl living in Japan for many years without any morality. Chairman Chen, don't mind making noise outside and talking in our inner room."
After entering the study, Puyi introduced Chen Zikun to a thin old man in his sixties.
"This Mr. Zheng Xiaoxu is my calligraphy teacher."
Chen Zikun was solemn: "Mr. Zheng's calligraphy is hard to find in Shanghai and Nanjing."
Zheng Xiaoxu started to talk nonsense, but it was just that the civil strife in China was not just about the emperor who came out to clean up the situation. Chen Zikun was blackened on the spot. Puyi observed the words and looked at him and hurriedly stopped Zheng Xiaoxu and said, "I have prepared a few small gifts for me to get them."
Not long after, other servants brought a few brocade boxes. Chen Zikun opened one of the long boxes. It turned out to be an exquisite treasure sword. The Mogul-style white jade roll head was worn on the handle of the knife. A bright yellow silk ribbon, a gold-plated sword, a hollow dragon, a hollow carving, a very smooth seal carving, made in the Qianlong year of the Protung Emperor No. 17, the sheath was made of golden peach tree bark, which looked like a mountain pattern armor.
"This is the imperial treasure sword made by Emperor Gaozong, which is treasured by the royal family. The treasure sword is given to the hero. I hope the general will accept it with a smile." Puyi said with a smile.
Chen Zikun wanted to refuse but was unable to speak. He knew what Puyi had made. He wanted to make friends with various warlords. Isn’t it just to ascend the throne again one day, but he really liked this precious sword and couldn’t let go.
"Then I will thank Your Majesty for the reward." Chen Zikun stroked Baodao, but he felt in his heart that a prodigal son was probably ruining his family's foundation in the past few years after he left the palace.
After Chen Zikun went out, Zheng Xiaoxu came back: "What do you say about Emperor Chen Zikun?"
Puyi smiled arrogantly and said, "He just called me Your Majesty, what else can I say about Chen Zikun was the royal guard of the Blue-ling Guard, whom I was granted the imperial seal, no matter how high the official of the Republic of China he was or my guard."
Zheng Xiaoxu said: "The Emperor's Holy Spirit"
The fourteenth princess, who had some idea of how to arrange the banquet, actually sat next to Chen Zikun and kicked him gently from time to time. His eyes were full of temptation.
Chen Zikun pretended not to see it
Yao Yilei and Jian Bing discovered that someone hooked up with their husbands and were furious but it was injuring their face and was not easy to get angry.
"Zikun, sit here." Xia Xiaoqing walked over and changed seats with Chen Zikun and looked at Dongzhen provocatively.
The fourteenth princess immediately stopped and stopped
After the banquet, there was a dance. This time, the three wives shared the same hatred for the enemy and never let Dongzhen approach Chen Zikun. Chen Zikun felt funny. Then he saw Dongzhen holding a wine glass in the crowd and making good luck. From time to time, he threw a charming look to himself. The world is in decline and even the daughter of the Aisin Gioro family is so slutty.
Suddenly, Dongzhen and a man in his forties gathered together and chatted and laughed like he was talking Japanese. Puyi walked over and looked at Chen Zikun's gaze and said, "That old friend is Dongzhen, a Colonel Tada Jun instructor at Beijing Army University. Should Chairman Chen talk to him?"
Chen Zikun said: "I have nothing in common with Japan."
It just so happened that Chen Zikun and Tada Jun raised his glass to greet Chen Zikun and politely replied, saying that this Jingyuan was indeed a smoky and filthy politician and soldier. He had all the things that he had regrets that he shouldn't come.
"Henry, are you going to live your life in Jingyuan?" Chen Zikun suddenly mentioned this topic and shocked Puyi, and then he was happy and thought of Zhang Xun back then.
But Chen Zikun's words were greatly disappointed as if he was pouring a basin of cold water on his head.
"It's not a good thing for young people to stay in Tianjin and stay in the world. Young people with ulterior motives are surrounded by old men. Henry, if you want to go out for more trips and see the world, you can go to the United States and Europe to go to college or something. If you want, I can arrange it."
"Thank you for not having any plans to go abroad recently." Puyi was unconscious and lost his energy.
Before leaving, Puyi was so energetic that he gave Chen Zikun a gift. Zheng Xiaoxu's calligraphy was packed in a trunk along with the previous large and small brocade boxes.
Back at the bottom, Yao Yilei and others opened the box to appreciate the gifts. Puyi's generous work scared them. In addition to the imperial protung sword made by Qianlong, there were also jade artifacts, antiques, Su embroidery jewelry, etc., which were made by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. They were not only valuable but also very memorable.
The three ladies chattered about the trip to Jingyuan and were disappointed with the so-called royal majesty. The evaluation of the fourteenth princess was surprisingly unanimous.
"Japan has no good stuff." Xia Xiaoqing heard his father tell the story of the Eight-Nation Alliance entering Beijing and hates young Japan deeply
"In fact, Japanese women are not as virtuous as Chinese women," Jian Bing corrected.
"She must have been strongly stimulated when she was a child, otherwise she would not have been so crazy." In the end, Yao Yilei, who had studied in Japan, made a conclusion
Chen Zikun said, "This crazy and stupid personality is easy to approach others, but it is unknown whether this fourteenth princess is a Japanese spy."
...
After going to Jingyuan, the next step is to go back to the hometown to visit the grave. Yao Yilei and Jianbing don’t have to go together. Chen Zikun took Xia Xiaoqing and Xiaobei light car Jian from Cangzhou.
Master Xia’s tomb was in a mass grave outside Cangzhou At that time, Xia Xiaoqing had no money and could only bury his father in a hurry. Now he returned home in glory and naturally had to buy a cemetery and re-bury it.
The Xia family is a small family in the local area, without relatives, and no family cemetery. Chen Zikun spent money to buy a piece of land and found a team of craftsmen to build a grand double-hole tomb. He bought a good nanmu coffin to find a good day and moved his father-in-law's coffin.
Another important thing is to find the remains of Xia Xiaoqing's mother so that she can bury her father together. This is an unfinished task because Xia's mother was lynched by the family and was buried where the bones were buried. Only the Yan family knew about it.
