1932: Playing with the Japanese Communist Party with a doll

"Humph, you're not Japanese, of course you can't do that."

Perhaps it was because of the handsome guy's request, perhaps she just wanted to convince Lu Xun, or perhaps it was just a momentary temper, but Xinzi Yuta boasted without thinking:

"I have a cousin who is currently serving as an officer in the 129th Division. He has a very good relationship with Brother Chongjiu. I asked him to find a way to contact Commander Wang of the 129th Division..."

"Ah? I remember that Commander Wang Yong was the highest-ranking officer in the 129th Division, right? Your cousin is probably very young and not a big shot. How did you get in touch with him?"

"Oh, how could he, a Chinese, be the highest official?"

Hata Nobuko said disdainfully:

"But he must know some of our noble people in Japan. If we can establish a connection with him, we can get to know even more noble people!"

"But why should I help you?"

"My brother is the Director of Education. I believe that Teacher Wang will not refuse to get to know such a high-ranking official."

The implicit meaning of her words is that Lu Xun is a tool she uses to get to know Teacher Wang and even more "noble people".

In just a few words, Fujiwara no Kanezane labeled Hata Nobuko as selfish, stupid, reckless, short-sighted, ignorant, and lacking in brains... In short, a little fairy;

Or the middle-aged version;

Even worse.

Tsk...

"Most importantly, I have a way to attract the attention of His Highness Fujiwara."

After these words were spoken, Lu Xun and Fujiwara Kanezane exchanged a glance, with the latter smiling broadly and saying, "What are you going to do?"

"Brother, as the Director of Education, you must have met His Highness, right?" "Yes...yes..."

"Is Your Highness a man of amiable character, good temper, and great wisdom and power?"

"No...that's right..."

s

Seeing Lu Xun's mouth twitching, Fujiwara Kanezane bit his lips hard to prevent himself from laughing out loud.

If I laugh here, everything will be over, right?

Xun Ge will definitely take revenge on me later.

"I heard that His Highness is very fond of brave and intelligent young men..."

Seeing Fujiwara no Kanezane's face turn dark, Lu Xun gritted his teeth and tried hard to prevent himself from laughing out loud.

If I laugh here, everything will be over, right? This guy will definitely take revenge on me later.

"I've brought Feng Yi (Zhou Zuoren's son), Feng Er, and Feng San (Zhou Jianren's son) with me this time. If Big Brother is willing to bring them before Your Highness and let them perform well, they will surely leave a deep impression on Your Highness!"

Hata Nobuko became more and more excited as she spoke:

"As long as His Highness remembers them, he will definitely find out who their parents are. By then, the future of the three Zhou brothers will be secured!"

"Also, isn't His Highness currently selecting a concubine? This time, I brought Jingzi (the daughter of the second son of the Zhou family) with me. If they're not suitable, Ma Li (Zhou Jianren's daughter, who is only 16 years old at the time)..."

Fujiwara no Kanezane reached out to stop Lu Xun, who was about to explode in anger, and interrupted Hata Nobuko's chatter with a smile:

"You just said that Lord Fujiwara is a very kind person?" "Yes!"

"As kind as I am?"

“You deserve it?

"

531 The Politics of Selecting a Concubine

"Are you worthy?"

How do you say that?

The bad guys' best efforts and efforts can never match the stupid people's sudden inspiration and flash of inspiration.

At this moment, both Fujiwara no Kanezane and Lu Xun instantly reached an unprecedented resonance in soul and thought:

Oh my god, I'm so stupid, really.

Why would I tease such a fool who is so pure?

not angry.

I am really not angry, and I really cannot be angry;

Being angry will only make you look like a fool who is arguing with fools, and you will lose the style of a king.

But you have to stay away from it, because stupidity is contagious.

Fujiwara no Kanezane didn't even bother to say a word and just turned and walked out. Lu Xun followed him, but on his way out he left a sentence:

"Right now, immediately, take your people and your belongings and get out of my house. When my second brother comes back, I will personally come to your house and persuade you two to divorce."

"???"

While Hata Nobuko was confused, angry, and a little bit indescribably frightened and was wondering what was wrong with Lu Xun, the people involved had already thrown her questions out of the window.

"...So, the girl you want to introduce to me is the daughter of Mr. Ma Youyu?"

"Correct."

Lu Xun said with rare enthusiasm:

"You may not know her well, this girl Ma Jue..."

Ma Jue, born in 1910, is 23 years old this year and is the eldest daughter of the Ma family. Her father, Ma Yuzao, and mother, Chen Dexin, were both highly educated people who received government scholarships to study in Japan. She was also born in Tokyo and later returned to China with her father to study at Peking University.

At that time, Yenching University and Tsinghua University, two universities with a strong American flavor, were popular in selecting "campus beauties" or "queens". Although Peking University did not follow this trend, Ma Jue was recognized as the "Queen", surpassing the campus beauties of other universities, which shows how beautiful she was.

Of course, Lu Xun knew that for Fujiwara no Kanezane, beauty and a good figure were definitely not a consideration, at least not the most important one, so he did not elaborate on this aspect, but instead talked about Ma Jue's other advantages:

"...I have known her for thirteen years and have exchanged dozens of letters...This girl is extremely talented, upright, and has a wonderful personality. She is gentle and generous, and has considerable insight and ability. Whoever can marry her will be truly blessed..."

After a burst of crazy boasting, the matchmaker glanced at the bored Fujiwara Kanezane and emphasized:

"You might not know this, but although she majored in political science, she originally wanted to study agriculture, and she's still doing some non-professional research..."

"Oh? Agriculture?"

Fujiwara no Kanezane was indeed interested:

"What are you studying? Rice? Wheat? Watermelon? Soybean?"

This was not because someone really had any plans for a strange woman, but simply because he was thinking of those agronomists who made great achievements in later generations.

Whether it's Yuan Longping who studies hybrid rice, Li Zhensheng who studies hybrid wheat, or Wu Mingzhu who studies watermelon improvement, how old are they now?

The world line has changed in great strides, and it is time to put in-depth research on agricultural development on the agenda.

Maybe there will be no "Grandpa Yuan" in the future, but there will be more "Grandpa Liu".

Anyway, for ordinary people, it's all the same. "I just read some books on agriculture." Thinking of the regrets of that year, Lu Xun sighed:

"Back then, I was very supportive of her studying agriculture. Unfortunately, Youyu said that the status of women in China is extremely low. She and her sister, one studying politics and the other studying law, could do something in the future..."

"What can we do? Call for women's rights? Or file for divorce?"

Fujiwara Kanezane curled his lips and said:

"There are simply too many people studying law and politics in China. They've become so high-minded and inhumane. They'd be better off bending down and really studying how to do the practical things that the people need most."

To be honest, if Ma Jue had really studied agronomy and done solid research, her status in Fujiwara Kanezane's heart would definitely be much higher.

Now, I’m just a runner-up +1.

Lu Xun was about to answer when a clear and steady female voice came from the alley beside the road:

"Sir, this is a bit extreme."

"Um?"

The two turned their heads and saw a gentle and beautiful woman with two long braids bowing and performing a ladylike etiquette towards Lu Xun. A girl next to her who looked similar but with a slightly timid expression also quickly followed suit and bowed.

"Ma Jue?"

"Mr. Zhou, it's been a while. My sister and I were out and about here, and we unexpectedly bumped into you."

The person being discussed might have overheard everything they had said about her. Lu Xun felt a little embarrassed and quickly changed the subject:

"Hahaha, it's been a long time since we last met. By the way, let me introduce you, this is..."

Fujiwara no Kanezane stepped forward, interrupting Lu Xun's introduction and staring at the woman with interest:

"Are you Ms. Ma Jue?" "It's me, hello."

Even though she was facing her "blind date" (suspected), Ma Jue still looked very calm and composed, without any sign of nervousness:

"My name is Ma Jue, and this is my sister Ma Yan. We are both students at Peking University. May I ask who you are...who...?"

"Oh, my name is Mark, and I'm currently doing some minor work at the Five-Star Eastern Republic."

"

Damn, this guy is worthy of being a politician. Lying is as natural to him as breathing.

Lu Xun cursed in his heart, but he couldn't expose it in front of him. Ma Jue didn't know this and continued to ask calmly:

"Mr. Mark, may I ask why you say that people who study politics and law are inhumane?"

"Don't exaggerate. I didn't say that. I just think there are too many people studying politics and law."

"Sir, I heard it clearly..."

Although Ma Jue's tone was gentle, it carried a firmness that left no room for evasion:

"You're so high and mighty, so inhumane, and so on. This is clearly a way for you, Mr., to belittle those of us who study politics and law. As a student of politics, I'd like to ask why, and I hope you can give me some answers."

"We're just strangers, why are you asking so many questions?" "You're not a stranger."

Ma Jue glanced at Lu Xun and emphasized:

"Mr. Zhou won't introduce me to anyone casually. I trust his judgment."

In fact, as she said, Ma Jue was very curious about Mark.

They had known each other for 13 years and had exchanged dozens of letters. Lu Xun knew her very well, and she also knew him very well:

Lu Xun never interfered in her love and marriage affairs, and repeatedly persuaded his father to let her make her own choice, so she has not married until now when she became an "older leftover woman".

Ma Jue was very confused. What kind of man could make Mr. Lu Xun break his principles and shamelessly pimp?

"Okay, okay! I'll tell you what I'll tell you."

Feeling Lu Xun's teasing gaze, Mark raised his hands, gave a French military salute, and then asked:

"You studied political science in college. What is politics?" "Politics refers to how the government, political parties, and other institutions govern a country..."

"Stop, stop, stop. I'm not asking you to recite the textbook. I'm asking you to understand what politics is in your own mind."

“Politics is…”

Ma Jue was speechless for a while, and suddenly found that he could not come up with a clear definition other than that in the textbook.

It’s not that she really can’t say it, but she feels that what she thinks is not acceptable even to herself.

Mark then asked his 19-year-old sister Ma Yan: "You are studying law, tell me, what is law?" "I... law is..."

The little girl blushed as she explained, her voice trailing off. It was obvious she couldn't say anything beyond what was in the textbook. "See, that's why I said that."

Mark spread his hands:

"Whether you students are currently learning politics or law, it's all Western-style. Whether it's applicable to China or not is not the question for now. The question is, how many of you have personally experienced real-life politics and law?"

"If you don't even understand real-world politics and law, what good will all your studies have?"

"

The pony sisters were speechless.

One just graduated from college, and the other just entered college. What personal experience can they talk about? But what they said does make sense!

Just like Ma Jue himself, he is still confused about what he should do after graduation.
