Zhou Hexuan continued to ask and found out that the Sun brothers looked older, but in fact Sun Yongzhen was only 26 years old, and Sun Yonghao was only 24 years old.
Their hometown is in Taigu County, Shanxi, and their grandfathers were bodyguards. Unfortunately, since the late Qing Dynasty, the business of the bodyguards has become increasingly difficult, so they had to change their careers to look after the homes and homes of wealthy gentry. By the time their parents were born, they were already living in extreme poverty.
.
The Sun brothers have been practicing kung fu since they were young, but unfortunately their martial arts skills were sparse and they started working as part-time workers for landlords at the age of twelve or thirteen. Che's Xingyiquan is popular in Taigu County, and the brothers wanted to learn it because of its popularity, but they were too poor to even become a disciple.
I don’t have any money, so I can only use my spare time to lean on the fence and peek.
Later, the landlord's son also wanted to learn Kung Fu, so he paid a lot of money to hire Li Jin, an apprentice of Li Fuzhen, Che Yizhai's eldest disciple, to teach Kung Fu. When Li Jin saw that the Sun brothers practiced Kung Fu hard, he accepted them as disciples for free, but he could only observe the teaching.
The registered disciples have not been taught carefully, and some of the master's secret skills have not been passed down.
The two brothers' abilities were partly due to hard work, partly from blind speculation, partly from silly sons of landlords, and the last partly from their masters.
When Sun Yonghao talked about these past events, he sighed helplessly: "It's a pity that I didn't learn Che Xingyi's secret root packing technique, otherwise we could have easily snatched away the broken guns of the two policemen today."
Sun Yongzhen warned his younger brother: "Just be content with yourselves. Even the master of Che's Root Trapping Technique is not good at it. How can he teach it to these registered disciples?"
Speaking of Che's Root Packing, there is still a lot of interesting talk.
It is said that when Guo Yunshen competed with Che Yizhai in martial arts, he used a half-step punch to force Che Yizhai into a corner. However, Master Che came around and slapped him on the shoulder. The snake-shaped step was used at that time. Guo Yunshen repeatedly exclaimed: "
The name of Che Yizhai, the divine boxer, was thus spread. Du Xinwu, Sun Yat-sen's bodyguard, was also impressed by Che Yizhai's magical root-packing footwork and praised him for his "good light skills three feet above the ground."
.
Since Zhou Hexuan planned to conquer the Sun brothers, he naturally wanted to find a way to improve their combat effectiveness. He immediately smiled and said: "The best footwork and body skills in the world are not the only ones with Che's root-branching technique. If you want to continue learning kung fu, I can help."
Introduce someone."
"Who?" Sun Yonghao asked quickly.
Zhou Hexuan smiled slightly, opened his mouth and spat out three words: "Li Jinglin!"
"Wudang Sword Immortal General Li?" Even Li Shuanzhu screamed at this time.
Li Jinglin's name is too loud. He is a warlord himself, but he dared to break the traditional customs and chose to reveal the secret Wudang swordsmanship. This move shocked the entire martial arts world. Divine Sword, Flying Sword, Sword Immortal, Swordsman,
These are all good names for Li Jinglin.
Sun Yongzhen's voice trembled with excitement: "Um... can you really learn martial arts from General Li?"
Zhou Hexuan smiled and said: "General Li was electrified and went out to the field five days ago. He happens to be living in the Tianjin Concession at this time. I also want to pay a visit and ask for advice."
By the way, Li Jinglin served as the Supervisor of Zhili and Governor of Zhili last year, which is Chu Yupu’s highest position now. However, there was no conflict between him and Marshal Chu. It was Duan Qirui who wanted to consolidate power when he was in power and removed the eyesore Li Jinglin.
. It is precisely because of Duan Qirui's series of illegal actions that the conflicts between the parties have been completely intensified, triggering this year's warlord war in North China in advance.
Want to play Republic in the Republic of China where there are many warlords?
Haha, once the central government seizes power, the local warlords will immediately attack them, and all the lost political interests will be fought back with the gun.
After everyone ate and drank for a while, Meng Xiaodong stood up and said, "It's getting late, little sister, I'll take my leave first."
Zhou Hexuan deliberately arranged the deal: "It's not safe for you, a weak woman, to go home. Let Brother Shoumin send you off."
Li Shoumin was quite speechless. He had a first love named Mingzhu in Hangzhou. After the Li family moved to Tianjin, the two of them still corresponded. Unfortunately, Mingzhu became a prostitute due to family reasons. Li Shoumin was hurt by this relationship and remained single. Later, he took the pen name "
"Returning the Pearl to the Lord" also uses the allusion of "Returning the Pearl to the Lord with Tears" to commemorate his first love. He is still in a state of "tired and unloved" and really has no idea about Meng Xiaodong.
But since Zhou Hexuan proposed to see her off, Li Shoumin couldn't refuse. It seemed so ungraceful. He asked, "Where does Miss Meng live?"
"I live in the New Tianjin Newspaper Office." Meng Xiaodong replied.
it's fate!
Zhou Hexuan and Li Shoumin looked at each other and both felt funny. One of them published works in the "New Tianjin Evening News", the other worked as an editor in the New Tianjin Newspaper Office, and Meng Xiaodong actually lived in the newspaper office.
Of course, Meng Xiaodong lived in the back house of the newspaper office, which belonged to the living quarters of the president, Mr. Liu Beard, and ordinary employees were not allowed to enter.
Meng Xiaodong's teacher had a close relationship with Liu Yan. She had been living there in seclusion in Tianjin for two years.
In addition to watching plays and reading newspapers, she also visited famous teachers for advice on folk arts. After being introduced by Liu Yangong, Meng Xiaodong successively studied with famous teachers such as Chen Xiuhua, Chen Yanheng, Sun Zuochen, Wang Junzhi, Su Shaoqing, Wang Gengsheng, Han Shenxian, Li Caifan, Dou Yanfeng, etc., and she has already integrated with them.
The leader of each family.
Meng Xiaodong was revered as the Winter Emperor a few years ago, and now she is even more skilled. When she returns to the stage next year, she will surely become a blockbuster and become famous all over the world.
Zhou Hexuan took out the money to settle the bill and talked about the arrangements for the Sun brothers: "I rented a house in a courtyard when I first arrived in Tianjin, and the deposit hasn't been refunded yet. Why don't you move in there and take care of Brother Shoumin?
"
"Yes, yes, you can move to our place." Li Xiangji quickly agreed. He also admired the Sun brothers' kung fu.
The Sun brothers are now living in a small inn. If there is a good place to go, they are naturally willing to go. They have made up their mind to follow Zhou Hexuan and immediately agreed without saying any nonsense.
Li Shoumin called several rickshaws and said to Zhou Hexuan: "Brother Hexuan, please take Miss Meng back. Xiangji and I have to help the two Sun brothers move."
"That's fine." Zhou Hexuan didn't care.
The group of people divided into two groups and dispersed separately. The rickshaw driver ran very fast and arrived at the newspaper office not long after.
Zhou Hexuan said gracefully: "Please, Miss Meng, see you another day."
Meng Xiaodong hesitated for a moment and suddenly asked: "Mr. Zhou, have you always planned to work under Marshal Chu?"
"Otherwise?" Zhou Hexuan asked.
Meng Xiaodong glanced at Li Shuanzhu and said: "Forgive me for being so superficial, little sister, but I think Mr. Zhou is smart and talented, and his future is limitless. He should find a better place to go. For example... the South!"
"Haha," Zhou Hexuan said with a smile, "You can go and read my "The Rise of Great Powers" first."
"Is it also a book written by Mr. Zhou?" Meng Xiaodong asked.
Zhou Hexuan elaborated: ""The Rise of Great Powers" is serialized in the "Beijing-Tianjin Times" every day, and is available in the Chinese and English versions."
"I must read it, little sister, and say goodbye!" Meng Xiaodong clasped his fists and left. That night, he asked Mr. Liu for a few copies of the "Beijing-Tianjin Times". Ordinary people don't read this stuff, and it's hard to buy it on the street.
, sales points can only be found in the concession.
Early in the morning of the next day, Sword Immortal Li Jinglin received a letter of greeting, along with more than 20 newspapers. It was the Beijing-Tianjin Times that serialized "The Rise of Great Powers".
For literati, works are stepping stones. If Zhou Hexuan visited him rashly, he might be turned away.
