Chapter 74 The nickname Sima Yi

Although Tongzhou in Su Province is nice, it still has an owner after all, and Cheng Nuo is just a passerby.

After studying in depth for a period of time, I decided to leave for Shanghai to join the Chinese Vocational Education Society.

This time he rejected Zhang Jian's kindness and decided to go shopping by himself after arriving in Shanghai to appreciate the charm of Asia's largest city at this time.

Walking on the street, you can see at a glance that Shanghai City is much cleaner than Peiping City. You don't have to worry about encountering a surprise after just a few steps.

At the same time, the rickshaws here are called rickshaws, not because they are deliberately unconventional, but because the Shanghai Municipal Government unified them and painted them with yellow paint. Over time, the name became rickshaws. This kind of name is a small local specialty.

However, today was not a lucky day for Cheng Nuo. The rickshaws he encountered while walking down a few streets were all full of people, and they were in a hurry.

I couldn't help complaining in my heart, it turned out to be a magical city, and it was difficult to take a taxi since the Republic of China.

Fortunately, his luck was not too bad. He encountered an empty car on the opposite side, and Cheng Nuo quickly stepped forward to wave.

"Hey, Master, you're looking in the wrong direction. It's this way. Yes, it's me. I'm taking the car."

The master was obviously too busy and didn't bother to wipe the sweat from his face. He looked around for a few times before he saw Cheng Nuo.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't see you for a while. I was really busy and lost my way. Where are you going, sir?"

Cheng Nuo was just wandering around to see the life of this era, so naturally he had no clear destination. He got in the car and said with a smile: "Master, the accent sounds like you are not a local, right? But where is the favorite place for locals in Shanghai to go? Trouble

Just drag me wherever you want."

"Hey, Mr. Jean heard it, I'm from southern Henan." When the customer sat down, the chef wiped the sweat off his face and slowly turned around: "Now I understand, it turns out that

We’re also going to the big world, so sit down and I’ll set off right away.”

Cheng Nuo smiled: "Then thank you, Master, and go to the big world."

Although he had heard of this entertainment center in his previous life, he never had the opportunity to visit it. When he became an adult, he learned that the Great World had long since closed down. When it opened, it became a museum. When it comes to Shanghai's amusement parks, the only one is Disneyland.

, I have to say it’s a pity.

The master pulled the car in front and introduced: "You don't know, this big world just opened this year, but it can't stop the business. It's full every day and night. I just went there more than ten times today."

"

Cheng Nuo echoed later: "They all say, 'If you don't go to the big world, you will miss the big Shanghai.' Master, do we have such a saying here?"

"It's not that bad. I don't know how many tricks there are. There are Peking Opera, Shanghai Opera, Kun Opera, puppet show, etc., as well as big drums, three-stringed opera, acrobatics, and everything." After the master finished speaking, he turned around.

He turned his head and said with a smile: "But I don't want to go in and play. I heard this from the gentlemen riding in the car. If you are wrong, don't blame me."

Cheng Nuo sighed and did not continue.

The master was still very enthusiastic: "I heard that some people were squeezed from the entrance to the exit, complaining that the big world was too big, and there were roads and trams. Come on, isn't it just money to pay for your suffering?

"

Finally, he found an "upper-class person" who was willing to listen to him. The master said all the words he had saved, even if they were not funny, he tried to make them funny. This respect made him hold his head up for a long time.

When we got to Dajijie, the master even said that we could get a discount, as long as we continued to take his car when we came back.

When he saw that the other party was sweating profusely, Cheng Nuo naturally would not deduct money and would give him as much as he needed.

Seeing this, the master felt even more respected, and said cheerfully: "Sir, you can go and play. I will just hang around nearby. I'm sure you can see me as soon as you come out."

After saying that, he drove off to another place with unusually cheerful steps. Compared with other domineering passengers, Cheng Nuo turned out to be an anomaly.

If a person lives a miserable life, he always wants to find someone even more miserable to bully him, as if he can feel relieved after doing this.

Cheng Nuo shook his head when he saw this and followed the crowd into Shanghai.

Originally, Cheng Nuo was prepared to accidentally break into a brothel. The performances there were very serious and suitable for all ages. The ticket price was definitely not expensive. It only cost 20 cents, and the price was half for children and servants.

It is divided into three floors. The grand theater on the first floor of the New World features Peking Opera, which lasts for two and a half hours, followed by a women's new play, performed by the Aihua Society for one and a half hours, and then a movie for two and a half hours. The second floor

Mainly northern folk arts, performed by different actors in turn for three hours, then improved Bentan, performed for one and a half hours, followed by improved Su Tan, performed for half an hour. The third floor is famous storytellers, all famous Pingtan performers take turns

.

There are performances 24 hours a day, plus the ice rink, billiard room, roof garden and Chinese and Western restaurants downstairs, the entire building space is very lively.

Originally, Cheng Nuo came here with an observational perspective, but after seeing it at the airport, he was still attracted by his ancestors' things, especially the movie movies, which were both familiar and unfamiliar to him.

What's more, what he didn't expect was that he was lucky enough to watch a few Hollywood movies in an open-air theater, such as "Borrowing Women's Clothes", "One Step Later", etc. The names were not heard of and the plots were relatively simple.

, the black and white is not mentioned, and there is no sound, but the body movements of the actors are just fun to watch.

However, Cheng Nuo did not forget the purpose of his visit after all. Looking at the opinions of people around him about the movie, he found that everyone also liked it.

"Bald, how many times have you watched this movie? Is it good or not?"

"Ga Liang, I don't know its name, "The Violent Girl Borrows Her Clothes", you can tell from the name that it is good-looking, my mother-in-law can't even walk after watching it."

However, Shanghainese dialect is a bit difficult after all. After even guessing a few words, Cheng Nuo couldn't keep up. However, looking at their expressions, they seemed to be very satisfied. They also understood the following story relatively well. It seemed that they had read it several times.

All over.

Looking at it from another angle, it seems that the entertainment industry can also do something about it. After all, Mickey Mouse has not even been released on the market. Although it is only a black and white silent painting, it still has great development prospects.

The more he thought about it, in the end Cheng Nuo couldn't help but want to pinch himself: This person is becoming more and more greedy. He wants to get involved in everything, no matter whether he can digest it or not.

But just when he was distracted, a middle-aged man passed in front of him, who seemed to be an acquaintance.

Cheng Nuo hurriedly stepped forward. It was Liang Rengong. At this moment, he was wandering around with his daughter in his arms.

"Oh, Mr. Ren, what a coincidence. It seems that the world is not big enough to meet you here."

Liang Rengong was stunned at first, but after seeing the person coming, a smile appeared on his face: "It is indeed a coincidence that I met you here, but it cannot be completely called a coincidence. After all, I also have to come to participate in the Chinese Vocational Education Association.

"

Liang Rengong held his three-year-old daughter in his arms, looked at her and said, "Sima Yi, please say hello to Uncle Cheng."

The little daughter is very cute, her little face looks like she can squeeze out water, and she greets her with a milky voice: "Hello, Uncle Cheng."

However, Cheng Nuo was still dumbfounded after hearing the name. It was really rare for a father to name his daughter after Sima Yi. He asked tentatively: "Is your real name Sima Yi?"

Liang Rengong laughed loudly and explained: "I gave Sima Yi her nickname. Her nickname is Siyi, which makes you laugh."

Cheng Nuo also laughed after hearing this. Such nicknames are indeed rare.

But thinking about it again, my daughter will probably suffer a lot when she goes to school. After all, her name has too many strokes.

Of course, this is just a joke.

After that, the two people's conversation became much more normal, but the topic turned to the recent political affairs.

At this time, Liang Rengong's face was no longer as calm as before, but full of caution: "Zhiyuan, I think the weather may have changed recently, and there will be trouble in Peiping. If you can, don't go back soon."

Cheng Nuo knew whether it would be sunny or rainy in the future, but thinking about what would happen to the other party in the future, he still couldn't help but give a few words of advice: "Ren Gong, the ancients said, 'If there is a way in the world, you will see it, if there is no way, you will hide it'. Sometimes you choose to

It’s not a bad thing to be wise and protect yourself.”

Liang Rengong changed the hands holding the child and smiled: "There are some roads. If you don't hit the south wall at the end, you will always feel unwilling. I accept your kindness."

Cheng Nuo sighed inwardly, looked at the sleeping "Sima Yi", and laughed softly: "Mr. Ren, I have an academy of sciences there and are preparing for the academy of social sciences. You are always welcome to join and the treatment will be favorable."

Upon seeing this, Liang Rengong smiled and patted his daughter on the back: "If I really hit the wall, I will carefully consider your invitation to Zhiyuan, but I still hope to take a sunny road."

After chatting for a few more words, the two separated temporarily.

By the time the China Vocational Education Society was officially established, Cheng Nuo finally understood what it means to have big bosses gathered together.

Needless to say, Cai Yuanpei, Zhang Jian, Liang Rengong, Fan Yuanlian and others.

The first names are Wu Tingfang, Director-General of Foreign Affairs; Yan Xiu, former Minister of Education of the Qing Dynasty; Zhang Shouchun, Principal of Jinmen Nankai School; Song Hanzhang, President of Bank of China in Shanghai.

Either one of the parents is the head of the family, with a high position of authority.

Cheng Nuo originally thought that he was invited by Jiang Menglin, but when he arrived at the scene, he realized that Jiang's qualifications were not enough. The title he introduced was just a master's degree (Ph.D.) studying at Columbia University in the United States.

But when it comes to Cheng Nuo, there are more people here. President of the Academy of Sciences of the Republic of China, editor-in-chief of "National" magazine, and professor of mathematics at Peking University.

Taking one out alone may not be too eye-catching, but stacking three together, plus recent contributions, Cheng Nuo's name is enough to be ranked at the forefront among these celebrities.

In addition, he was not too old, so he stood out among this group of middle-aged and elderly people. Before he knew it, a group of people slowly gathered around Cheng Nuo.

Either to make friends, to make profit, or something else.

In short, the "upper class people" began to notice that there was such a rising star named Cheng Nuo.
