445 【Meet your peers】

Tianjin, Hebei Women's Normal College, the predecessor of Hebei Normal University.

Art teacher Su Jiheng left the school with his bag. Before he could wave for a rickshaw, a Ford car suddenly stopped in front of him.

The car window slowly lowered, and a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes said, "Excuse me, are you Teacher Su Jihengsu?"

"I am Su Jiheng, who are you?" Su Jiheng asked in confusion.

The middle-aged man enthusiastically handed over a business card and said with a smile: "My name is Fang Jianzhou, deputy manager of Delong Yang Company, and I am also a loyal fan of your master's paintings."

"It turns out to be Manager Fang, hello, hello!" Su Jiheng put away the business card.

Fang Jianzhou got out of the car, shook hands with Su Jiheng and said, "I admire my master Mr. Chen Shizeng very much. It's a pity that Mr. Chen passed away prematurely."

Su Jiheng lamented: "Yes, the teacher was proficient in ancient and modern painting techniques, and Mr. Wei Qing Qi Baishi also admired him very much, but he died young."

Fang Jianzhou changed the topic and said: "Although Mr. Chen has passed away, fortunately he left behind outstanding disciples. A few days ago, I was fortunate enough to appreciate Mr. Su's paintings, and I was immediately amazed. I happened to be nearby today

I was doing some work and saw that Mr. Su looked quite familiar, so I took the liberty of disturbing him."

"How dare you, I'm just a minor in the painting world." Su Jiheng said modestly.

"Mr. Su is being too modest," Fang Jianzhou said, "It's a rare chance encounter, why don't you find a place to sit?"

Su Jiheng also likes to make friends and said with a smile: "Let's go to the Letao Teahouse in front."

The two of them came to the teahouse and sat down. Fang Jianzhou praised Su Jiheng a lot, saying that he was the best painter in Jinmen. Su Jiheng's head was dizzy with the praise, and he was a little lost.

Seeing that the fire was almost done, Fang Jianzhou suddenly asked: "With Mr. Su's superb skills, he must have created many stunning paintings, why don't you hold an exhibition?"

Su Jiheng smiled bitterly and said: "I think so too, but holding an art exhibition requires money. As a poor teacher, how can I have the money to hold a personal exhibition?"

Fang Jianzhou said boldly: "What's so difficult about this? I'll take care of the money. Is 3,000 yuan enough?"

"Enough, enough! More than enough." Su Jiheng said overjoyed.

Fang Jianzhou said sheepishly: "Mr. Fang, to tell you the truth, I have also studied painting before, and I particularly admire professional painters. So, I want to take advantage of this exhibition to make more friends with Tianjin's painting masters. I

I hope all the painters from the Green Canal Painting Society can come to this exhibition, especially the artist Ms. Guo, whom I have admired for a long time."

Su Jihyung was already dazzled by the solo exhibition. He immediately patted his chest and said, "No problem, I'll take care of it!"

"That's it, thank you very much!" Fang Jianzhou smiled.

The two chatted for nearly an hour and agreed to hold an art exhibition at the end of the month. Fang Jianzhou would take care of the venue, expenses and other matters, while Su Jiheng would be responsible for providing paintings and inviting painters.

After the matter was settled, Fang Jianzhou took the initiative to drive Su Jiheng home, and then drove home in his car.

At Fang Jianzhou's home, Yoshiko Kawashima, dressed in men's clothing, was reading a book and asked casually: "Is this Su Jiheng reliable?"

"Absolutely no problem," Fang Jianzhou said with a smile, "Su Jiheng is Chen Shizeng's beloved disciple. Chen Shizeng's book was compiled and recorded by Su Jiheng, and he was also responsible for drawing the illustrations. This person is greedy for fame and fortune, and loves to make friends. He is Tianjin Luqu

Wanrong, one of the founders of the Art Association, was drawn into the Green Channel Art Association by him. He is well-known in the Tianjin painting circle, but he does not have much money on hand. If someone is willing to help him hold an art exhibition, he will not refuse."

Yoshiko Kawashima praised: "Mr. Fang is familiar with Tianjin and can come up with good ideas easily."

Fang Jianzhou laughed self-deprecatingly: "I have lived in Tianjin for 20 years. My eldest son is 8 years old and my second son is 5 years old. I have never received a higher-level task. Mr. Jin, if you don't come again, I will think that the empire

Forget about me."

"The empire will never forget any of its citizens." Yoshiko Kawashima comforted her.



While the two were talking, the person they were taking advantage of, Su Jihyung, had already walked into a grocery store and said to the boss: "A bottle of soy sauce!"

"Light soy sauce or dark soy sauce?" the boss asked.

"Of course I use light soy sauce for cold salad. Forget it, give me a bottle of dark soy sauce too." Su Jiheng said.

The boss smiled and said: "Sir, your soy sauce is here."

Su Jiheng slapped a pile of copper coins on the counter: "Boss, please keep the money."

The boss quickly held down the copper plates and put them into his pocket without leaving any trace. He nodded and said with a smile: "Good go, guest."

Su Jiheng left with two bottles of soy sauce. The boss returned to the back room and took out a note from a copper plate. It read: Fang Jianzhou, the deputy manager of Delong Yang Company, is suspected of being a Japanese spy and helped me open a car on the 28th of this month.

Personal exhibition, address: French Concession Road, the target of the other party is Wanrong, the deposed emperor and empress.

The boss burned the note with a smile and said to himself: "We have business again."

The Blue Clothes Society had only been established for half a year and had not yet developed to Tianjin. The young painter Su Jiheng and the grocery store owner were both secret intelligence agents left behind during the Northern Expedition.

During the Northern Expedition, the Kuomintang sent thousands of spies and political workers to North China, and also recruited and bribed some local people. After the Northern Expedition, some intelligence officers lurked down to serve as the eyes and ears of the local Kuomintang headquarters.

The mission is to monitor warlords and Red Party members.

Take the young painter Su Jiheng as an example. He disappeared after the July 7th Incident. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, he became the Secretary of the Tianjin Party Headquarters of the Kuomintang. This situation surprised everyone in the Tianjin cultural circles.

Kawashima Yoshiko was unlucky. She randomly chose someone to use, and she actually chose a Kuomintang spy.

Mr. Su Jiheng, the future secretary of the Tianjin Party Committee of the Kuomintang, happily took out his paintings and wrote letters to invite many friends in the Tianjin painting circles. He also wrote a special invitation letter to Wanrong, but did not mention the spy matter at all. It seemed that

He had no idea about this.

The grocery store owner reported the news to the Tianjin Party Headquarters of the Kuomintang. The Tianjin Party Headquarters did not dare to offend the Japanese, but when the former Qing empress was involved, they immediately secretly sent the news to Zhou Hexuan.

“It’s really disturbing!”

Zhou Hexuan burned the secret letter. He originally wanted Wanrong to hide at home and wait until Puyi "ascended the throne" in the Northeast. He did not expect that the Japanese would move so quickly.

Wanrong frowned and said, "I immediately wrote back to Su Jiheng and told him that I would not attend his art exhibition."

"Go! Why not go?" Zhou Hexuan said with a smile.

Wanrong said doubtfully: "But this is a conspiracy of the Japanese. They will probably take the opportunity to kidnap me."

"Don't worry," Zhou Hexuan patted Wanrong's shoulder, "The exhibition address is in the French Concession, and the other party cannot have a lot of manpower. It would be better if Miss Kawashima did it in person, I will let her never come back!"

Why is Zhou Hexuan so sure to be Yoshiko Kawashima?

Because historically, it was Yoshiko Kawashima who brought Wanrong to the Northeast.
