After Liang Qichao finished his marriage testimony, he left the venue alone and went home, not even attending the wedding banquet at noon. After he left, the atmosphere of the wedding was eased a little, at least not as awkward as before.

Zhou Hexuan was looking for Hu Shi's figure. It was not rumored in later generations that the witness of this wedding was Liang Qichao, and was the host Hu Shi? He searched on the scene for a long time, but he didn't even see Hu Shi's figure.

After the wedding, some guests said goodbye and left, and the rest went to the restaurant for dinner. The wedding banquet only sat for two or three tables, which seemed extremely shabby.

While posing for the wine, Zhou Hexuan took the opportunity to ask, "Did Mr. Hu Shi not come to attend the wedding?"

"He went abroad in May," Xu Zhimo explained.

Zhou Hexuan was sweating wildly, and the rumors on the Internet were indeed unreliable. He also said that although Xu Zhimo's wedding was awkward, under the auspices of Hu Shi's witty words, he finally finished the fun and scammers!

However, Hu Shi is indeed the introducer of Xu Zhimo and Lu Xiaoman, commonly known as the matchmaker.

This matchmaker has to quote, it is just a position and is indispensable in Chinese weddings. The so-called "parents' orders and matchmakers' words" began in the pre-Qin era, marriages without matchmakers were considered unethical.

At the strictest time, a marriage without a match was even characterized as an elopement.

Liang Qichao was persuaded by Hu Shi, a matchmaker, to be the witness, which made him an unprecedented speech today.

According to legend, Hu Shi has four major hobbies, namely: playing cards, smoking, drinking and being a mediator.

He worked as a matchmaker (including witnesses and leading marriages) more than 150 times in his life, and was the number one matchmaker in the Republic of China. Among them, Bing Xin and his wife, Shen Congwen and Hu Shi were all involved.

As for Hu Shi's love of playing cards, you can see it from his diary, and I believe many people have read it.

One of his diaries reads: "On July 5th, register at summer school and play cards in the afternoon. On July 6th, the first day of summer school, chemistry, playing cards. On July 7th, class, playing cards. On July 8th, there is nothing to do, playing cards. The weather is a little cold."

Another diary also read: "On July 13, playing cards. On July 14, playing cards. On July 15, playing cards. On July 16, Hu Shizhi, Hu Shizhi! How could you be so depraved! Have you forgotten the previous study plan? Confucius said: I examine myself three times a day... I can't continue like this. On July 17, playing cards. On July 18, playing cards."

In fact, it is very interesting to read the diaries of the masters of the Republic of China. For example, Mr. Ji Xianlin, a national treasure-level academic master, was his diary. Later, when he was sorting out and publishing the diary, the editor advised him to delete some of the content, and Mr. Ji Xianlin's answer was "Don't change a word".

The content that the publisher editor believes needs to be deleted is these-

"On September 11, my manuscript has not been published yet, damn it."

"On September 23, I was just going to work in the morning and my butt hurts."

"On December 21st, to be honest, watching women play basketball... they are watching their thighs. A female student from the affiliated high school has a thigh that is dark and she only watches half-time back."

"On April 29, because the girls' dormitory was open, I went to see it for a special time. Most of it was not in the house."

"On March 13, I didn't do anything meaningful - Damn, these bastard professors not only don't know that they are discouraged, but also take the exam all day long. Either you take the exam or me take the exam, what's the fuck?"

"On May 17, I have no other hope in this life. I just hope that I can have several women in multiple days and contact women from all over the world."

Although Mr. Ji wanted to have a few women for a long time, he was impeccable in character, and he grew old together with his wife, which was much more cute than those hypocrites. Just like Li Zongwu, who wrote "The School of Thick Black", he told all about the darkness of human nature and the corruption of the officialdom, but he treated others sincerely and was honest.

Zhou Hexuan really wanted to meet these celebrities and drink and have fun with them in person. Unfortunately, Hu Shi went abroad, Ji Xianlin had just graduated from high school, and Li Zongwu was far away in Sichuan.

Let’s not talk about gossip, get back to the topic.

Zhou Hexuan's table was full of Crescent Poets, including Rao Mengkan, Zhu Xiang, Liang Shiqiu, Liang Zhen and others, and was deliberately arranged by Xu Zhimo. He probably thought that Zhou Hexuan's poetry was outstanding, so he had a common topic when sitting with these poets.

Liang Zhen said astonished: "Mr. Ren Gong is so powerful. He is so shameless. If I were the groom, I would have to die of shame today!"

"Ahem, be careful," Liang Shiqiu reminded, "Today is Shimo's happy day, don't mention such a bad thing."

Zhu Xiang raised his glass and said, "Yes, yes, drink!"

Everyone clinked their glasses and started talking about other topics.

Rao Mengkan asked: "Shiqiu, how are you doing at Southeast University (the predecessor of Nanjing University)?"

"It's not the same as before," Liang Shiqiu shook his head and smiled bitterly, "I thought the south was stable and I could do my studies with peace of mind, but I didn't expect to fight a war."

Zhu Xiang said: "Do you think the Revolutionary Army's Northern Expedition will be successful?"

"It's hard to say," Liang Shiqiu said, "Our Commander Sun (Sun Chuanfang) is expanding his army and preparing for war. I heard that he has fought two battles, which has beaten the revolutionary army very badly."

Liang Zhen suddenly said to Zhou Hexuan: "Mr. Zhou is well-versed in politics and military affairs. What do you think about the current situation in China?"

Everyone looked at Zhou Hexuan when they heard this. The book "The Rise of a Great Power" made him famous and seemed to have become an expert in international issues, military and political knowledge.

Zhou Hexuan did not answer directly, but smiled and said, "I dare not predict whether the revolutionary army can succeed in the Northern Expedition, but Wu Peifu is definitely finished."

"What do you mean?" Zhu Xiang asked.

Zhou Hexuan analyzed: "When the Northern Expedition Army attacked Hunan and Hubei, Zhang Zuolin and Sun Chuanfang were watching the fun. Now that Wu Peifu's main force collapsed, the two generals immediately took action, and they both took the title of "supporting Wu". One marched to the two lakes and the other marched to Zhiyu, which was obviously going to take the opportunity to swallow Wu Peifu's four provinces. Wu Peifu faced the revolutionary army at the same time. Can he still hold on to the three-way attack of Zhang Zuolin and Sun Chuanfang?"

Liang Zhen sarcastically said: "These warlords are really bad. They are good friends in front of each other and stabbing them in the back. Marshal Wu will admit defeat this time."

Liang Shiqiu sneered: "Now, only despicable and shameless people can do well. Pure and good people should live their lives honestly."

Zhou Hexuan suddenly said a few words: "Despicable is the pass for the despicable, and noble is the epitaph of the noble. Black and white are inverted, but that's it."

As soon as this statement came out, the poets on the table looked at him.

"Why, I have flowers on my face?" Zhou Hexuan asked jokingly.

Liang Shiqiu said anxiously: "Mr. Zhou, can you repeat the two sentences you just now?"

Zhou Hexuan said: "Despicable is the pass for the despicable, and noble is the epitaph of the noble."

"Good sentence!" Liang Zhen applauded.

Zhu Xiang also said: "These two sentences are comparable to Mr. Zhou's 'The night gave me black eyes, but I used it to find light'."

Rao Mengkan also said: "Yes, these two sentences are deeply philosophical. You can only get it by hand and you can't be chiseled."

At this moment, Xu Zhimo and Lu Xiaoman came to toast. Xu Zhimo asked with a smile: "What are you discussing? Are you so happy?"

Liang Shiqiu pointed at Zhou Hexuan and praised: "Mr. Zhou's two lines of poetry just now are really wonderful."

"What poem?" Xu Zhimo was quite interested.

Liang Zhennian said: "Despicable is the pass for the despicable, and noble is the epitaph of the noble."

Xu Zhimo thought for a while and even forgot toast. He happily put down his glass and held Zhou Hexuan's hand and said, "Mr. Zhou, you must give me this poem, and it will be published in "Poetry Engraving" in two days."

It's here again, your wife is by your side, why are you touching me if you have nothing to do?
