"I really didn't expect them to be so miserable.”
"That's why I said that those who are envious of love in the Republic of China, come and see what it's like.”
"Haha, little fairy probably can't see it.”
"Yes, they like the stories of talented scholars and beautiful women in their hearts.”
"The old man is still the real one."
"Should I say it or not? Old Master Ye Tian's heart hurts a little.”
"It's quite pitiful. Wanrong actually went crazy.”
"Uh, but I remember that it was said in the last emperor.”
"What you're saying is that the TV series embellished it. It must be worse.”
"I don't know."
“…………”
On the bullet screen in the live broadcast room, the audience expressed their emotions.
If Ye Tian's description of the true state of the scholars of the Republic of China had made everyone sigh with emotion, then his description of Wanrong and Wenxiu's ending had made everyone sigh.
After all.
In the eyes of many people, the Republic of China should be a beautiful era.
However, the old man's words made people realize that there were actually many regrets in that era.
……………………
At the mushroom house.
Teacher He saw the atmosphere was a little gloomy and quickly asked Ye Tian,""Old Master, is there anything else you need to do in Tianjin?”
"That's nothing."
Ye Tian shook his head." At first, I lived near Li Shoumin's house. Later, I bought a house in the concession, right next to the Wei Residence. My neighbor is quite famous. It's Duan Qirui.”
"Who is it?"
Chef Huang was stunned.”
"Yes, that's him."
Ye Tian smiled." Old Duan is also an interesting man. His creed in life is not to smoke, drink, prostitute, gamble, be greedy, or take possession. He is known as the Six Non-Commanders, an exception to the rule of the Republic of China. He did not even own a property when he was in the countryside. Yuan Datou had once given him a house. In the end, when Old Yuan died, the son of the original owner came looking for him with the deed to the house. Duan Qirui moved without a word.”
"Then he's an honest official!"
Peng Peng said subconsciously.
After all, according to what Ye Tian had said, Duan Qirui's creed was very positive.
Ye Tian waved his hand." He's not a clean official, but he definitely has some sort of shady income. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to support his beautiful wife."”
“…………”
Everyone was speechless.
The wife of the fifth branch was as beautiful as a flower and jade. Then this one really couldn't be any incorruptible.
"Old Master, are you very familiar with Duan Qirui?”
Little Chef Huang asked Ye Tian with a smile.
"I guess so. He and his son both like to play chess. When I have nothing to do, I play a few games with them. However, I left Tianjin for something later, so we haven't seen each other since.”
Ye Tian said calmly.
Actually, as a man, Duan Qirui's biggest failure was his unstable back.
The fourth aunt had just married into the family and had been frowning all day. After asking, she found out that she had someone she liked. Duan Qirui had no choice but to reluctantly give up his love and marry off the fourth aunt like he was marrying off his daughter.
As for the remaining wives and concubines, they all smoked behind his back.
As long as Duan Qirui was not at home, the few aunties would dress up gorgeously and sneak out to watch movies, go shopping, listen to plays, and attract bees and butterflies everywhere. They would often return to the residence in the middle of the night.
Anyone with a brain could understand what was going on.
However, Ye Tian didn't say much in this situation. After all, he had to give the other party some face.
Huang Little Chef and the others were even more curious after hearing Ye Tian's introduction.
This kind of celebrity story was undoubtedly very interesting to them.
There was nothing more fun than listening to the history of the past.
"Then why do you know Kang You? I remember that he went to Tianjin at that time.”
Teacher He asked Ye Tian.
"I don't know about this."
Ye Tian smiled and waved his hand.
As he spoke, he pursed his lips and said,"But that person's character is not good. I'm not interested in knowing him."”
Everyone was stunned.
But he understood that Ye Tian didn't want to talk about Kang Youwei, so he smiled and prepared dinner.
In reality.
Ye Tian spoke the truth.
He really looked down on Kang Youwei.
Plus, Kang Youwei didn't stay in Tianjin for long before he died the next year.
According to the mainstream media, Kang Youwei died of food poisoning after drinking a cup of lemon black tea at a friend's house, but his daughter, Kang Tongbi, thought it was caused by poisoning.
The outside world had different opinions about this. Some said that the Japanese had poisoned the food, some said that Cixi's remaining party had secretly harmed them, and some said that the food in the restaurant had gone bad.
As for the most ridiculous and widely spread theory, it was nothing more than the theory of death by limb transplantation.
He said that Kang Youwei wasn't capable of being a man, so he went to a German doctor for surgery and transplanted the reproductive organs of a male ape into his body. He died not long after.
This was obviously a rumor, but it was not completely groundless.
Kang Youwei was already in his sixties, but he still married a nineteen-year-old concubine. He had indeed asked a German doctor to give him an injection.
The reason was that there was a popular rejuvenation technique in Europe at that time, which was to inject people with animal extract to maintain their youth.
Of course, the effect was definitely not good!
