The Literary Hero of the Republic of China (民国之文豪) [MTL]

Chapter 123

　　Mu Qiong's pen name for writing novels in Xincheng Monthly is Zhu Shi'an.

　　He is not very good at naming, so he named it "Shi'an" of "world stability", and added a surname in front of it to deceive people.

　　After such a toss, this pseudonym looks like a real name. If others want to look for it, they should first go to "Zhu Shi'an". .

　　With this pseudonym, he can finally write with confidence now that he was afraid to write some things before.

　　Mu Qiong asked Zheng Runze not to tell others his pen name, Zheng Runze agreed, saying that he would never tell others.

　　Mu Qiong still trusted Zheng Runze very much, so he left after taking the manuscript fee and went to the orphanage.

　　The orphanage now has a relatively complete set of rules and regulations. At the same time, the number of orphans inside has also increased to one hundred. If there is no accident, it should continue to increase.

　　Although there are many children, but because these children are fairly well-behaved, they are easy to manage and do not require much effort.

　　Jin Huailai probably has other things to do, and now he spends less and less time in the orphanage, but Zhu Wanwan spends all the time in the orphanage except for her studies.

　　In addition, the orphanage recruited several female workers. Some of these female workers were kicked out by their in-laws because they could not give birth, and some were trafficked and sold to Shanghai. In short, they all suffered a lot. Zhu Wanwan left them in the orphanage, and they were all very grateful to Zhu Wanwan and worked hard.

　　There is nothing for Mu Qiong to worry about here. Mu Qiong took a look and went to the editorial department of Education Monthly.

　　After three o'clock in the afternoon, Sheng Chaohui came to the editorial department yawning. When he saw Mu Qiong, he grinned: "Mu Qiong, it's really a pity that you didn't go out with us last night! Learned a lot."

　　"What did you go to play?" Mu Qiong asked curiously. He liked to chat with Sheng Chaohui very much. From Sheng Chaohui, he could learn a lot of things, which he could use when writing novels.

　　For example, when he wrote "Being an Official", some of the descriptions of the government depended on the memory of the original owner, and others were heard from Sheng Chaohui.

　　Sheng Chaohui's face was mysterious: "I met the President of Huaguo!"

　　"President of Huaguo?" Mu Qiong didn't realize it. Is there a country called "Huaguo"? In modern times, some people call China the Kingdom of Hua, but no one called it that at the time.

　　Seeing Mu Qiong's blank face, Sheng Zhaohui showed a meaningful smile, and then gave Mu Qiong a little introduction.

　　Only then did Mu Qiong know that the so-called "President of the Flower Country" refers to the most beautiful prostitute in Shanghai.

　　At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the brothels in Shanghai began to select "Hua Guo No. 1 Scholar", "Hua Guo No. 2", "Hua Guo Tan Hua" and so on. Up to now, they have kept pace with the times and started to call presidents and prime ministers.

　　The first is the president of Huaguo, the second and third are the vice presidents of Huaguo, and the fourth is the prime minister of Huaguo. They will be selected once a year.

　　"Mu Qiong, would you like to go and meet me?" Sheng Chaohui asked, "The president of Huaguo is really beautiful! But I like the prime minister of Huaguo better. By the way, when they talked to me, they asked Get up Lou Yuyu."
