Chapter 321: Thousands of miles of marriage lead by a thread

Today is the opening ceremony, not open to the public, only for guests to visit.

Commercial Press has been operating in Shanghai for 30 years and has a profound heritage. There are endless celebrities coming to congratulate you. There are not only top figures from both local political and business circles, but also staff from foreign embassies.

It is said that many foreign books were donated by embassies from various countries.

Hundreds of people gathered together, and the scene was very lively.

Lin Zixuan and other bookstore owners are also among them. This is a major event in the publishing industry after all, and they must not stop coming, otherwise they will be said to be ungrateful.

Although the competition between the two sides is fierce, we must still maintain a harmonious atmosphere on the outside.

The senior executive of Commercial Press asked Lin Zixuan to speak, but he declined it. He could see that he was just polite.

Lin Zixuan is not the turn of such an occasion. If he doesn't know how to speak, he will not be a human being.

When he visited the library, he couldn't help but admire the heritage of the Commercial Press. His thirty years of accumulation is not comparable to that of Wanxiang Bookstore. This library contains a large number of rare ancient books and is priceless treasures.

Participating in this opening ceremony is just a walk-through form, and no one really comes to read the book.

Moreover, even if it is really open to the public, it can only read ordinary books, and those rare books will never be borrowed.

In this era, book collections are mostly private behaviors.

All wealthy families have their own library buildings, and wealthy families have study rooms. It is rare for commercial presses to spend huge amounts of money to build public libraries, which has attracted the attention of all sectors of society.

Lin Zixuan took a quick look.

Because he was in a hurry, he did not notice a manuscript in a corner of the library.

It was the "Gaobao Strange Man" he mailed to Commercial Press.

The senior executive of Commercial Press once wrote a letter to the author of "The Strange Man of Gaobao". Unexpectedly, the letter was returned because of the wrong address and no such person was found.

They felt that they might have been fooled and couldn't stand the face, so they transferred their manuscripts from Commercial Press to Oriental Library.

I randomly put it together with some foreign books without any fanfare, and not many people know it.

It was not until a few years later that the Oriental Library found that the manuscript was missing when it was checking the book.

According to the record, it should be what happened in November 1926. At that time, a strike occurred in the Commercial Press, which was in a mess. Many employees were either fired or resigned.

These include the librarians of the Oriental Library.

They concluded that the strikers in the library took advantage of the chaos to bring a lot of books out of the library. Such a thing could not be investigated and had to leave it alone.

Lin Zixuan was not aware of this. Later, he no longer cared about the fate of the manuscript. Anyway, as long as he was not involved.

When she returned home from Zhabei District, the third lady of the Song family happened to be there, and was talking to Feng Chengcheng.

She came to convey a message from her brother Song Ziwen, which was the general idea that the Northern Expedition was about to begin and everything was ready, so that Lin Zixuan would not have to worry about it and write whatever he wanted.

Song Ziwen should have known about Lin Zixuan’s experience in the Soviet Union, so this statement has a profound meaning.

Recalling the "Zhongshan Ship Incident" in Guangzhou in March and the subsequent forced resignation and to leave France, it seems that there are serious differences within the Guangzhou government.

Lin Zixuan didn't care about this factional struggle, even if Song Ziwen didn't say it, he would still write down his experiences in the Soviet Union.

Miss Song’s third lady is here to say goodbye this time. She is going to Guangzhou and may have to stay for several months.

After the third lady left, Feng Chengcheng explained the reason.

Song Ailing, who was in Guangzhou, wanted to match the marriage between the third lady of the Song family and Mr. Jiang, Guangzhou, so she sent a telegram to ask her sister to go to Guangzhou to meet. As for whether the matter will be successful, it depends on the two of them.

Mr. Jiang has been admiring Miss Song for a long time and has mentioned this matter to Sun Zhongshan many times.

Unfortunately, Song Qingling has always disagreed, and she is quite decisive in this matter.

She would rather see her sister die than let her marry a man with at least one or two in Guangzhou.

I have to say that Mr. Jiang is indeed not very restrained in this regard.

The Song family has different views on this marriage. The eldest sister was happy to see it, but the second sister disagreed. Song Ziwen also did not support it, and their mother, Mrs. Song, refused.

The prospect is dim.

But the third lady of the Song family has her own opinion. This time she went to Guangzhou to see Mr. Jiang.

The two met in 1922, but at that time, the third lady of the Song family did not look down on Mr. Jiang. The one she wanted to marry was a big man, not a young servant.

Four years have passed. The former servant became the commander-in-chief and is qualified to let the third lady go and take a look.

Feng Chengcheng and the third lady of the Song family are good friends, and there is nothing to hide in such a thing.

"Is the sentence you said to Meiling a coincidence?" Feng Chengcheng said curiously.

"What do you mean?" Lin Zixuan said in confusion.

"Her marriage," Feng Chengcheng explained, "You said 'You will know when you wait for the future'."

"Ah, you said that, I said it casually, she won't take it seriously, right?" Lin Zixuan said suddenly.

Feng Chengcheng shook his head and did not continue to ask.

She still remembers the scene when she visited Sun Zhongshan with her husband a few years ago. It was Mr. Jiang who opened the door at that time.

Lin Zixuan once said that Mr. Jiang’s words “we are indescribable in the future”. She didn’t care about it in the past. Now she thinks it’s a bit strange and feels like a little bit of a prediction.

But she didn't want to go into it, it was someone else's business.

A smart woman will never be serious about these small issues. Women who like to be honest often have a poor life.

Lin Zixuan didn't expect that the third lady of the Song family would still remember the joke.

Thinking about it, it is very easy for such a smart woman to figure out this word game, but it is nothing big. Just say that she already knows that Mr. Jiang is pursuing her, and this is no secret in the Song family.

Just treat it as a kind joke.

As a friend, Lin Zixuan wished the third lady in her heart. Although she didn't know if her union with Mr. Jiang was really happy, she did realize her ambitions.

In this era, few women can do this.

After quieting down, he began to write "Moscow does not believe in tears", which can also be explained by the high-pressure rule in the Soviet Union, which is too literary and artistic.

This is Lin Zixuan's own creation.

Through years of reading and writing, his writing style has made great progress, and there is no problem with writing general articles.

The content is similar to a travelogue. From the cause of the incident, the discussion on "alliance between Russia and Russia" in China to the journey to the Soviet Union, what you see and hear in the Soviet Union, etc., try to adopt an objective attitude.

This is just an ordinary travelogue. He does not intend to write it into a classic, but only wants the content to be detailed so that the Chinese can understand a real Soviet Union.

This series of articles will be published in the Newspaper, which will inevitably attract criticism.
Chapter completed!
