Looking at China today, Wenxiu can be said to be the most sensational figure in public opinion.
Especially for ordinary people, they don't care about the warlords' melee, or whether the Northern Expedition can succeed. No matter who becomes the president, they will be the same. They are more concerned about the marriage gossip of the emperor and the queen, because this thing is more important than fighting a war.
And the revolution is much fresher.
"I would like to invite Ms. Wenxiu, the vice president of our association, to speak!"
Zhang Xueliang stepped aside with a smile and gave up the microphone to Wenxiu. All the eyes of the audience were focused on her.
Wenxiu was obviously a little nervous and kept pinching her fingers. She was wearing "civilized new clothes" at the moment, which was a combination of a high-necked waisted short-sleeved shirt and a knee-length sarong, which was popular among female students in the Republic of China.
While everyone was waiting for Wenxiu to speak, she suddenly took out a pair of scissors from behind her back, untied the long hair on her head, and cut the scissors with a click.
"Wow!"
Everyone looked at the rostrum in surprise, a little unable to keep up with the rhythm of Wenxiu.
As expected of a knife concubine, she always carries a pair of scissors with her at all times.
Wenxiu held up the section of hair that had been cut off, threw it to the ground without any hesitation, and said loudly: "What was cut off just now is the old era of ignorance. Today, China has entered a civilized society. "Constitution of the Republic of China" (Cao Cao)
Kun promulgated that) Article 5 stipulates that the people of the Republic of China are equal under the law without distinction of race, class, or religion! Women are also human beings and citizens of the Republic of China, and they also have the responsibility to contribute to the country and the nation. Our article
I swear here that I will dedicate the rest of my life to China's education. If you violate this oath, you will be punished by heaven and earth!"
The woman on the podium was very vocal, and the men in the audience had different reactions. Some were contemptuous, some were admiring, some were disdainful, and some were watching indifferently.
Zhou Hexuan pursed his lips and snickered, the sword concubine's performance was good, but he was worried that she would fall short at the critical moment.
This passage does not have much effect on high-ranking officials. But if it spreads through newspapers, it will definitely cause a sensation. It is estimated that those patriotic young people will treat Wenxiu as a goddess, and women who long for freedom and progress will treat Wenxiu as a goddess.
Wenxiu is regarded as a spiritual idol.
At this moment, there was only one person who was extremely angry, and the anger in his eyes was about to burst out - that was Pu Yi among the crowd.
Well, Puyi was also invited today.
How could we forget our emperor about such a great thing as donating money?
A Tsarist Russian general who was in exile in China gave tens of thousands of silver dollars to Puyi for military expenses when he met him. With such a generous donation, he must also be generous in donating to China's education.
"If you don't follow the rules of women, you will confuse the public with your evil words!" Puyi cursed in a low voice.
But he just cursed, and two guards of Zhang Xueliang were staring at him. The moment Wenxiu came on stage, Puyi wanted to rush forward, but was blocked by the guards in plain clothes.
Not to mention the angry Puyi, Queen Wanrong has fallen into a sluggish state. She is the one who is most shocked tonight. From filing for divorce, to cutting her hair in public, and vowing to educate, everything Wenxiu has done has made Wanrong unable to
Imagine that there was even a trace of envy in her heart.
"Snap, snap, snap!"
Feng Yong took the lead in applauding and walked to the microphone and said: "Thank you Vice President Wenxiu for your impassioned speech. Here, I want to explain one thing. The responsibility of the China Hope Education Foundation is to establish education, and the personnel and administrative expenses shall not be higher than the previous year.
15% of the donation. Whoever dares to commit corruption will not be tolerated! Start donating now, everyone is voluntary, you can donate as much as you want!"
Zhang Xueliang waved to Yu Fengzhi in the audience, and the couple walked to the donation box and jointly signed the donation amount.
The staff shouted loudly: "Mr. Zhang Xueliang, Commander-in-Chief of the Jingyu Area Garrison and Commander-in-Chief of the Zhili-Shandong-Fengxian Allied Forces, and his wife Ms. Yu Fengzhi donated 50,000 silver dollars!"
"Snap, snap, snap!"
Amidst the warm applause, many guests secretly smiled bitterly. This young marshal's donation was 50,000 yuan. If they donated less, they would be disrespectful to the young marshal.
Feng Yong was the second to donate, and the staff shouted again: "Mr. Feng Yong, Commander of the Northeast Army Air Force, donate 40,000 silver dollars!"
Then Shen Yaorong came to the stage, and he made a donation on behalf of Chu Yupu. Marshal Chu had already gone to the front line and could not be present in person: "Mr. Chu Yupu, the governor of Zhili and governor of Zhili Province and the former enemy commander of the Zhili Allied Forces, donated 40,000 silver dollars!"
According to official rules, Zhang Xueliang donated 50,000 yuan, and others were not allowed to exceed this amount, so Feng Yong and Chu Yupu both pledged 40,000 yuan.
Zhang Zongchang's cronies also came and donated 40,000 yuan. The remaining guests, those with status and status, basically donated 30,000 yuan. Those who were slightly worse donated 20,000, 10,000, 8,000 and 5,500.
Dayang is the minimum amount, no matter how much it is, it is impossible to get rid of it.
It doesn’t matter if you don’t have any cash with you, just write down the donation amount and staff will come to collect the money.
As for fraudulent donations, haha!
"Mr. Puyi, the former deposed emperor of the Qing Dynasty and a citizen of the Republic of China, and his wife, Ms. Wanrong, donated 50,000 silver dollars!"
The staff suddenly shouted loudly, and everyone looked at Puyi.
That title is too derogatory. It deliberately emphasizes citizens of the Republic of China...
Feng Yong sneered in a low voice: "This emperor is competing with the Sixth Son, so he must donate 50,000 yuan."
"I hope he donates more," Zhou Hexuan said with a smile.
After the donation was counted, it was a total of 1.18 million and 50,000 yuan!
If it weren't for Zhang Xueliang's support and Zhou Hexuan's constant appeal, so many donations would be enough to break his legs.
The banquet finally officially started. The nobles held boiled water in their hands and went to find someone to communicate with each other.
Yu Fengzhi also had a glass of boiled water in his hand. He couldn't help but asked: "Han Qing, who came up with this idea? Let's just have a Western-style banquet and just throw away the boiled water."
"Here, over there," Zhang Xueliang pointed at Zhou Hexuan, "This Mr. Zhou is full of bad things."
"I would like to go over and get acquainted," Yu Fengzhi left Zhang Xueliang, walked straight to Zhou Hexuan, raised his glass and said, "Hello, Mr. Zhou."
"Hello, madam!" Zhou Hexuan smiled and clinked glasses with Yu Fengzhi.
Yu Fengzhi has a slender figure, but she is not the kind of frail woman. She has studied both new and old studies, exuding a ladylike temperament, and holds the financial power of the Zhang family. Even the young marshal trained in the past few years
The new army was subsidized with private money from Yu Fengzhi.
Zhang Xueliang respected, feared and loved this lady. He always addressed her as "Sister Yu". Without Yu Fengzhi's consent, he would not dare to bring a woman home from outside.
"I have read Mr. Zhou's articles, and I especially like the one called The Legend of the Condor Heroes," Yu Fengzhi said.
Zhou Hexuan asked with a smile: "Can you buy "New Tianjin Evening News" in the Northeast?"
"I only saw it when I moved to Tianjin," Yu Fengzhi said, suddenly raising his glass and saying in a respectful tone, "I would like to thank you sir for Han Qing quitting smoking!"
"It's just a piece of cake," Zhou Hexuan asked, "How is the young marshal's habit of quitting smoking?"
"It's not bad," Yu Fengzhi sighed, "I should be able to quit."
The two chatted for a while, and suddenly dance music sounded in the hall.
Puyi ignored the dissuasion of the plainclothes guards, rushed directly to Wenxiu, gritted his teeth and said: "Ms. Wenxiu, I want to ask you to dance!"
Wenxiu was stunned and boldly said, "Okay."
The moment the two appeared on the dance floor, they immediately attracted the attention of the entire audience, and reporters took photos wildly.
Wanrong sat in the corner, as if she had been abandoned by the whole world. She lit a cigarette and smoked it non-stop. Her eyes were distracted and she didn't know what she was thinking.
Suddenly, the cigarette butt from her mouth was taken away, and a man's voice came from beside her: "I told you, I don't like women who smoke."
Wanrong subconsciously turned around and saw Zhou Hexuan smiling at her.
