In January 1925, Hu Shi and Xu Zhimo planned to move the Crescent Society from No. 7 Shihu Hutong to No. 7 Pine Tree Hutong.
The main founder of the Crescent Society
Here it is necessary to introduce the relationship between Xu Zhimo and Lu Xiaoman: At this time, Xu Zhimo and Lu Xiaoman have secretly fallen in love, although they have not met a few times, but their scandal is now well known, including Lu Xiaoman's husband Wang Geng. At this time, Xu Zhimo had divorced his wife Zhang Youyi. However, there was no substantial relationship between them at this time.
Although the organization of the Crescent Moon Society is not large, after all, they are all famous literati and scholars, so they organized a relocation ceremony, which is very simple to sit down together to have a meal and chat, and the person who invited the guests was Hu Shi.
On this day, Xu Zhimo picked up the invitation list, and he wanted to know if there was anyone he wanted to see in the invitation list. After watching for a long time, I finally saw the name at the bottom of the list, and a hanging heart was instantly put down.
At this time, Liu Haisu saw Xu Zhimo's thoughts and asked, "Are you looking for her name?"
Xu Zhimo did not hide it and replied: "Hmm."
"This time, Hu Shi only invited people from our cultural circle, there are not many people, only one table, so as not to have more people sitting at two tables." Xu Zhimo glanced at the list, there were about 20 people. However, what he was more worried about at this time was, could Lu Xiaoman come out? Because Lu Xiaoman and his scandal are all over the city, so they are very strictly guarded at home, will they let Lu Xiaoman out?
Lu Xiaoman
Liu Haisu saw Xu Zhimo's worry, and immediately said to him: "It's not for you to get along alone, there are so many of us!" The task of invitation is entrusted to me and Hu Shi, so don't worry. At that time, we will take Xijun (Lu Xiaoman's personal maid, but also Lu Xiaoman's confidant. ) was also invited, so that the Lu family would have no reason to disagree. ”
Hearing this, Xu Zhimo was relieved. His requirements are not high, as long as he sees Xiao Man, even if he stands in the distance and glances at it from afar! He also knew that Hu Shi and Liu Haisu had also taken great pains to meet him and Lu Xiaoman, and immediately showed grateful eyes to these two old friends.
The meeting day is January 19. From the moment he saw the list, Xu Zhimo felt that time was going so slowly, and when he had nothing to do, he would sit in his study and quietly listen to the ticking of the clock. Every second the clock walked, he was a second closer to the woman he was thinking about day and night. He really wanted to miss Lu Xiaoman, and he couldn't wait to adjust the time to the evening of the 19th. Although the meeting will not be too long, even if it is a momentary meeting, it is better than the hard thoughts of the moment.
After many tosses and turns, the time finally came to the morning of the 19th. After five o'clock in the morning, Xu Zhimo woke up, in his own words, he was frozen awake, in fact, he had something in his heart and had no intention of falling asleep, because today he was going to see Lu Xiaoman, who was thinking hard, how could he be in the mood to sleep!
At this time, the sky was not yet dawn, Xu Zhimo lit a lamp and came to the study with his coat on. In front of the bookshelf he hesitated, originally planned to read his favorite "Zizhi Tongjian", this book he read many times, never felt tired, but today, just touched the book, he retracted, he actually felt bored. After that, I picked up other books, and I couldn't read them either. In the past, he would indulge in it every time he read it, but today he is not interested in books at all. There are beautiful people in the heart, but everything is not in the heart!
Then he pulled open the third drawer of the case, where a thin stack of envelopes stood. On each envelope were written the five words of Juanxiu, Xu Zhimo personally enlightened.
Xu Zhimo
Xu Zhimo put those letters on the case, opened them one by one and read them, these letters written to him by Lu Xiaoman, he had read countless times. From the initial invitation of only one or two lines, to the words and sentences of several pages, one letter after another, between the lines are the testimonies of him and Lu Xiaoman along the way!
However, in these letters, there is no trace of Lu Xiaoman and Xu Zhimo's relationship changing from a friend to a lover.
Xu Zhimo and Lu Xiaoman seem to know each other gradually, but they fell in love in an instant. However, at which moment, Xu Zhimo couldn't say anything. Perhaps this is the charm of love! Sometimes before you know it, you're stuck in it!
When, when, when, when, the clock rang five times without hurry. At five o'clock in the evening, the sky has not completely darkened, at this moment Xu Zhimo's room has been lit up, he stands in front of the mirror and seriously examines himself, today he is dressed in a black Zhongshan suit and a pair of silver-framed glasses. He watched it several times and felt very satisfied, so he drove out to the restaurant, and the dinner started at seven o'clock!
It didn't take long to arrive, this is a Chinese-style restaurant, very ordinary, not high-end, Xu Zhimo and even Hu Shi this guy chose here to save money. When Xu Zhimo thought of this, he couldn't help but smile and walked into the hotel, it was half past six at this time. When Xu Zhimo walked into the box, Lu Xiaoman had already arrived, and the moment he saw Lu Xiaoman, he was stunned, in addition to Lu Xiaoman, Hu Shi, Liu Haisu and Yu Dafu also arrived. Seeing Xu Zhimo come in, Lu Xiaoman stood up generously and said to Xu Zhimo: "Long time no see."
Today's Lu Xiaoman is wearing a linen shirt and a pair of dark gray pants, compared with the previous glamorous, today she looks very low-key. The face was powdered rouge, but it was difficult to hide the original haggardness. Xu Zhimo looked at the emaciated Lu Xiaoman like that, unable to spit out a word for a long time, so he nodded at her, and then sat next to Hu Shi.
Hu shi
By 6:40, almost all the people on the list had arrived, and everyone had expressed their opinions on the development prospects of the New Moon Society, but Xu Zhimo rarely spoke. He only drinks and drinks, and every time someone pours him a drink, he always drinks it all at once. Also only caring about drinking was Lu Xiaoman, who had also drunk a lot of wine, and her pale face was now flushed.
At this time, Yu Dafu said: "Shima, as one of the founders of the Crescent Society, you might as well tell us what you think about the Crescent Society!"
Xu Zhimo did not shirk, and began to speak calmly, just as he was speaking, Lu Xiaoman suddenly stretched out his hand to cover his mouth, as if he wanted to vomit. At this time, the waiter quickly took the spittoon, and Lu Xiaoman naturally would not vomit at so many people, so he got up and ran out. Xu Zhimo was a little worried, but he couldn't follow him out on this occasion. Liu Haisu saw the worry of Xu Zhimo and everyone, so he said: "Xiao Man may not have drunk for a long time, and he is drinking urgently today, and he can't stand it."
Not long after, Lu Xiaoman returned. Seeing that everyone said almost the same, plus Lu Xiaoman was not feeling well. So Hu Shi proposed to leave the show today, and we would meet again in two days. And so everyone dispersed.
Then, the heavy responsibility of sending Lu Xiaoman home lies with Xu Zhimo. Because their rumors were flying all over the world at this time, in order to avoid suspicion, Xu Zhimo drove the car to the back door, and Lu Xiaoman came out of the back door to get into Xu Zhimo's car. In fact, Lu Xiaoman's home is at most a ten-minute drive from the hotel.
Naturally, they would not let go of this rare opportunity to meet, so Xu Zhimo drove around in circles and began to pour out their lovesickness, and they said a lot of things along the way, especially Xu Zhimo, he felt that he was a little incoherent. The most repeated phrase is "I miss you"! The encounter was always short-lived, and although Xu Zhimo was trying to drag out time, it only took twenty minutes to reach the gate of the Lu family.
Lu Xiaoman said to Xu Zhimo: "Shima, you know, since I was a child, I have been a strong person. I haven't felt any true happiness in a long time, and you know, gossip about us has made me suffer. What's more bitter is that I have no one to talk to, my mother does not understand me, and even Xijun, I cannot speak freely. ”
"Xiao Man, I'm sorry. The rumors, I should have stood up, I should have explained to Wang Geng. But at that time I hesitated, let you suffer, it is all my bad. ”
Lu Xiaoman interrupted Xu Zhimo's words and said, "How can I blame you? It's all those who don't understand what to do and chew the root of the tongue. Actually, I don't care much about those words now. Suffering is suffering around me, and no one understands me. If I hadn't had the opportunity to talk to you today, I'm afraid I would have to endure it myself. ”
"Xiao Man..."
The car stopped in front of Lu's house, but they still had many, many words to say. But at this time, none of them spoke, and the car was quiet. Lu Xiaoman did not get out of the car, and Xu Zhimo did not know how to keep it, he turned his head to look at Lu Xiaoman, and Lu Xiaoman was also looking at him at this time. In this way, I don't know how long it took, Lu Xiaoman said softly: "Shima, I got out of the car." After that, he opened the door and walked down.
Xu Zhimo also got out of the car, he knew what to do today, so he gently called: "Xiao Man." Lu Xiaoman turned around, under the dim street lamp. Xu Zhimo can still see the reluctance and attachment in Lu Xiaoman's eyes.
Then, Xu Zhimo pulled Lu Xiaoman to an inconspicuous corner, he looked at Lu Xiaoman gently, Lu Xiaoman's face was crimson at the moment, and she was also looking at Xu Zhimo.
The next picture is probably thought of by everyone. Finally, Xu Zhimo held Lu Xiaoman's face and kissed it gently, and Lu Xiaoman also hugged Xu Zhimo. At that moment, it belonged to them, at that moment, they broke free from all bondage, and they indulged in entanglement together...
The moonlight of this night was white, crossing a distance of thousands of miles, and shining straight at the pair of lovers in the capital.
Lu Xiaoman and Xu Zhimo
In this quiet moonlight, everything is so natural.
This kiss is Xu Zhimo's most affectionate confession, and this kiss also laid Lu Xiaoman's determination to go to Xu Zhimo, and this kiss officially became the starting point of their love.
However, Lu Xiaoman is a married woman, and the family rules are very strict, they want to be together, there is still a long, difficult way to go... So, can they break through the shackles of the world and finally have a lover who will eventually become a dependent? Listen to the next breakdown.
