If we have to care about the difference between people from later generations and modern people, it would be temper.
This kind of temper has little to do with personality. It depends entirely on the social atmosphere at the time.
During the Republic of China, although the Manchu Qing Dynasty had been overthrown and it was claimed to be democratic, in fact the country's system was still dominated by feudalism. This determined the tradition and conservatism of the entire social atmosphere, and thus also determined the unquestionable authority of those in power.
As the military and political leader of the Xuebing Army, Ouyang Yun would have been more or less affected by this climate in his temperament development, had it not been for the experiences of later generations. In that case, George would not have dared to be so rash and offending. ,
Ouyang Yun realized this and couldn't help but sigh: "A good person is bullied by others, but a good horse is ridiculed by others." Just as he was thinking about whether to break his usual image and explode, so as to teach some people some lessons, he kept quiet. Old Bonn, who was staying in the hall, came over in a hurry,
"Commander-in-Chief."
"Um."
"Well, please forgive me."
The old man's words were somewhat incomprehensible. Although Ouyang Yun guessed that it should be related to the blond girl, he didn't know what he wanted to express: "What."
Old Bonn pointed at the blond girl with a ghostly finger and said: "Her name is Bisseline Dassault. She is the daughter of Lester Dassault, the current head of the Dassault family. She came here to seek a relationship with you. As a cooperator, she only arrived this afternoon and we haven’t had time to introduce you to her. She probably did this just to attract your attention."
Ouyang Yun was somewhat impressed by the famous Jewish families. He looked at the girl and asked, "Does the Dassault family own a bank?"
"Their main business is banking, and they are involved in other fields..."
"oh."
"Commander-in-Chief, Miss Bisselin is still young and doesn't know much about etiquette. Please don't mind her recklessness."
"I don't mind, I don't mind. Forty thousand silver dollars is not a small amount."
"hey-hey……"
The auction was carried out gradually. After two or three items, the first dance music started. Seeing Biselin being led by George towards Ouyang Yun, something happened again in the spotlight.
This time, it was the authority of George, the U.S. Consul General, that was challenged.
Think about it, Gu Lianyun, Pan Meiren and Bai Liusu. Except for classmate Meiren who is relatively introverted and good at forbearance, the other two are not willing to suffer. How could they tolerate someone "teasing" them in front of them? man,
I don't care whether Bai Liusu can dance or not. Anyway, when she walked up to Ouyang Yun, she said with great momentum: Commander-in-Chief, please dance for me. Many people will know that there is a good show to watch.
The women of the Commander-in-Chief, Gu Lianyun, only surfaced during this time, while Pan Meiren and Bai Liusu are familiar to Guangzhou people. Bai Liusu was once responsible for Ouyang Yun's security work. In the minds of some people, he The level of difficulty was no less than that of himself. George had dealt with Bai Liusu a lot and had experienced how powerful she was. He was even more upset by her just now. When he saw her standing in front of Ouyang Yun, he felt a little timid at first.
Bisselin didn't know this. In fact, she had been in Guangzhou for less than a day and didn't understand many things. The reason why she attended this cocktail party was just because she happened to live in the U.S. Consulate in Guangzhou, and she finally took action. She won the right to film Ouyang Yun's first dance just because she thought it was fun. The Dassault family was too famous in the Jewish circle. Normally, when she came to Guangzhou, the Jewish Chamber of Commerce would come out to receive her. However, for some unknown reason, However, Bisselin chose George as her spokesperson. George did not expect that the little princess of the Dassault family would come to such an extent. At this time, he couldn't help but feel that he was riding a tiger.
Ouyang Yun was indeed quite resentful about being tricked by George. However, after all, the other party wanted to learn from Bingjun. Even if he knew it was a trap, he could only sneak into it.
If you can't break your promise to others, you can only do your own work. He whispered to Bai Liusu: "Lisu, don't be ridiculous, let's dance to the next song."
"No." Bai Liusu became unreasonable and turned to look at the blond Biselin. His eyes flashed coldly, as if he had integrated his own knife-throwing skills into his eyes.
Ouyang Yun couldn't help feeling heavy-headed. He glanced at Li Tieshu and Mei Lanshu and his wife next to him. He was winking at them, hoping to ask them to help with some advice. George and Bisselin had already arrived.
Bisselin could not understand Chinese, but she could feel the strong hostility in Bai Liusu's eyes. She asked George: "Mr. Consul General, who is this lady and why is she so hostile to me?"
Ouyang Yun and George both understood the English she spoke. They both looked embarrassed. The former pretended not to understand and continued to wink at Li Tieshu and others. Seeing that it had no effect, he looked at Gu Lianyun not far away. There was also Pan Meiren, but judging from the way the two women were whispering to each other, talking and laughing among themselves, it seemed that all his hard work was in vain.
Everyone's eyes are looking here, which makes George quite embarrassed. This "Commander-in-Chief's First Dance" is his invention, and he is the organizer of this charity sale. Naturally, he should give the buyer a fair fair. Explain, but Bai Liusu, the robber on the way, is not something he can shake. If he does Biseline's work in turn, not to mention what the little princess of the Dassault family will do, his personal prestige , his reputation will definitely be significantly affected, and how will he be able to establish himself in Guangzhou in the future?
Biselin waited for a while, but did not get an answer from him. She walked forward, made a "please" gesture to Ouyang Yun gracefully, and said directly: "General, please dance with me. "
Before Ouyang Yun could say anything, Bai Liusu had already stepped in between the two of them and said angrily: "His first dance will definitely be with me."
Bisselin looked at her in surprise, then looked at George, presumably waiting for him to translate,
At this time, Old Bon, who was already watching with fear, finally couldn't help but stepped forward. He pulled Bisselin aside and whispered: "Miss Bisselin, please wait a moment. Miss, she is the fiancée of His Excellency the General."
If old Bonn hadn't interfered with this, maybe George could still fool him. Now, after hearing these words, Bisselin, who didn't understand China's national conditions, was confused: "What's the matter? We just danced. That’s all, besides, I paid for this power to take pictures.”
Old Bonn was also willing to go all out, and even did not hesitate to be a villain who slandered others behind his back. He whispered: "Your Excellency the general's fiancée is jealous. He doesn't even allow the general to talk to other women. Bisselin, you are new here, don't make things worse." It’s overwhelming, so just be patient.”
Unexpectedly, Bisselin was a girl with a strong sense of right and wrong, and said decisively: "No, how can a woman do this? Oh, I really feel sad for the general. Maybe, I should help him correct his fiancée's temper. "After saying that, she walked forward and muttered a lot of righteous and awe-inspiring words to Bai Liusu. The general idea was that it was wrong for her to do this. Not only was it not conducive to enhancing the relationship between the two people, but it would also have the opposite effect. As a self-confident person As a woman, she should start from the other person's perspective and consider why he does what he does, instead of simply being suspicious...and so on.
Bai Liusu didn't understand English, so he was stunned. Seeing that she was still looking at him expectantly after she finished speaking, he asked Ouyang Yun: "What did she say?"
Ouyang Yun had suppressed his laughter at this moment and how could he dare to speak. When George next to him saw this, he took two deep breaths, suppressed his smile and pretended to be a grandson in a serious manner: "She said she is self-aware, and the commander-in-chief has a beautiful woman like you. As a fiancée, there is no chance for others to get involved. Please rest assured. The reason why she insists on dancing this first dance with the Commander-in-Chief is to fulfill the contract she just made. She sincerely admires the Commander-in-Chief as a person and wants to learn from him. Bingjun contributed a little bit to her career, so she participated in this auction. By the way, she also said that she had heard of you when she was in the United States. She heard that you were beautiful, smart and virtuous. She didn’t believe it at the time, but now she sees you in person. Man, only then did I realize that what I said was true. Well, I heard that you are also a good dancer. I have been admiring you for a long time. I don’t know if I have this honor. Please do me a favor and dance a song."
After George said these words, he was sweating profusely as if he had just finished running a marathon. Then, there was a sound of coughing all around. Almost everyone who understood this sentence, including Ouyang Yun, had to hold back their laughter. He coughed desperately, causing Bai Liusu to be stunned and blushing with embarrassment. He also coughed to the point where George, who had just spent so much effort to make up this lie, was frightened and cautious. He almost jumped out, he was afraid, if Bai Liusu heard something was wrong, he would have to skin him.
Fortunately, Bai Liusu, who was blushing after being praised by him, was too shy to notice this. She blushed and looked at Ouyang Yun, and asked in a low voice: "She really spoke so well of me. Hey, am I so good?"
"Ahem, of course, you are my fiancée." Ouyang Yun said in a serious tone, and the resentment towards George in his heart was even deeper. He was fooling Tassel Naked. Although The starting point is good, but after all, Liusu is my woman. Damn, it seems I can't be too tolerant to these foreign devils.
A big disturbance was just fooled by George. In the middle of the empty hall, with the entry of Ouyang Yun and Biselin, it finally looked like a dance floor. Ouyang Yun's first dance cost him 40,000 silver dollars. The price was successfully sold, which gave the whole charity fair a good start. However, this has just begun the reception. There are still too many things to happen next.
Christmas Eve in 1937 was destined to be extraordinary for Ouyang Yun and the Xuebing Army.
