    When socializing with others, you must distinguish between "respectful" and "humbly". Don't go beyond your duty, otherwise you will make a big joke.

    In the autumn of 1927, Wen Yiduo served as the director of the Foreign Languages ??Department of Central University, teaching British and American literature.  In the summer of that year, 16-year-old Chen Mengjia was admitted to Central University. Because of his love for literature, he often attended Yiduo's classes.  In this way, the two developed a teacher-student relationship.

    During the Anti-Japanese War, Wen Yiduo and Chen Mengjia both taught at Southwest Associated University and became colleagues.  One day I heard that Yiduo was in trouble and wrote a text message to Chen Mengjia, politely calling him "my younger brother of Mengjia".  Between teachers and students, teachers can write letters to students by saying "my brother so-and-so", "my brother so-and-so", etc. It is just polite.  Chen Mengjia didn't know whether it was because of a short-circuit in his head, or because he felt that since we were colleagues now, we should treat each other as equals, so he wrote "One more brother" in his reply.  When Wen Yiduo saw the letter, he was furious and sent someone to call Chen Mengjia to reprimand him.  This incident became a joke in the Southwest Associated University.

    So even though Yuan Keding calls himself "younger nephew", Sun Yuanqi doesn't dare to tell him: "Brother Yuntai is so polite! How is Mr. Rong'an's health now?"

    Sun Yuanqi and his staff thought a lot about how to address Yuan Shikai.  Nowadays, there are various titles for Yuan Shikai:

    "Yuan Shikai" appears in the edict.  Directly criticizing someone's name was a very impolite behavior before the Republic of China, so Sun Yuanqi naturally couldn't use it.

    "Wei Ting" is the name of Yuan Shikai.  If Sun Yuanqi was similar in age to Yuan Shikai, he could call him "Brother Weiting".  The key point is that there is a 16-year age difference between the two of them, so calling him "Brother Weiting" with a shy face would seem a bit nondescript.

    "Zhongtang" and "Gongbao", these were Yuan Shikai's previous titles in the Military Aircraft Department.  Now he is just the governor of Huguang who has not yet taken office. Calling him that again feels a bit like exposing a scar.

    "Dashuai" is the honorific title given to Yuan Shikai by the direct descendants of Beiyang.  Sun Yuanqi does not belong to Beiyang, so there is no need to stick to it himself.

    "Yuan Gong" is a very respectful title.  Sun Yuanqi is now a cabinet minister and governor of Sichuan, half a rank higher than Yuan Shikai, the half-assed governor of Huguang.  Would Yuan Shikai be embarrassed if he were called "Mr. Yuan"?

    "Xiangcheng" is the birthplace of Yuan Shikai.  It is a custom in the officialdom of the Ming and Qing Dynasties to use place of birth to refer to high-ranking officials, such as Weng Changshu (Weng Tonghe), Li Hefei (Li Hongzhang), and Sun Shouzhou (Sun Jiaunai), who are all familiar to everyone.  Maybe someone has already called Sun Yuanqi "Sun Huai'an".  But this kind of title is only used in private and cannot be used on the stage.

    As for "Yuan Si" and "Huan Wen", the private titles of Manchu princes and nobles, such as "Yuan Si" and "Huan Wen", are even more unusable.

    After thinking for a long time, I settled on the more neutral title of "Mr. Rong'an".  "Rong'an" is Yuan Shikai's nickname. It is human nature to call him by his name. Adding the word "Mr." is enough to express Sun Yuanqi's sincerity and respect.

    "My father still has some old illnesses and is recuperating in the dormitory. Sir, please come in!" Yuan Keding replied respectfully, his face looking a little better.  Although "good brother" is a bit harsh, it feels much more comfortable than being "little nephew".

    Sun Yuanqi was not polite to him: "Then let me go visit Mr. Rong An first!"

    This was the proper meaning of the title when people came to visit Yuan's house. Yuan Keding was not surprised at all, so he led the way in a muffled voice.

    ? There is an artificial lake to the south of Huanshang Village and an artificial mountain to the north. The lakes and mountains complement each other and are so beautiful that the Yangshou Garden is located between the lakes and mountains.  The garden is surrounded by water from the Huan River, twisting and turning in an endless cycle.  Pavilions, terraces and pavilions are dotted among them, and they are well-proportioned.  Although it is already late autumn, there are lush bamboo forests, whirling greenery, and various autumn chrysanthemums blooming against the frost.

    The Yangshou Hall is located in the center of the Yangshou Garden. It is Yuan Shikai¡¯s study, living room, and Yuan Shikai¡¯s living room, and the surrounding atmosphere is different from other places.  There are no other flowers and plants here, only neatly trimmed whitebark pine and small-leaf boxwood, which give it a chilling look.  There are two strange stones standing in front of the hall, one looks like a beauty, the other looks like a crouching tiger. People can't help but think of the domineering power of "drunk on the knees of a beautiful woman, waking up to hold the power of the world".  The only thing that is incompatible with the environment is the couplet in the hall, which is a poem by Yuan Keding's brother-in-law Fei Shuwei collected by the modern poet Gong Zizhen:

    Jun Enhu said to Yuqiao;

    His life experience is not as good as Tu Diaokuan.

    The first couplet says that the kindness I have received from the king is enough to boast to fishermen and woodcutters.  The second line says that the people who live the freest lives in the world are butchers and fishermen.  Look at the surrounding layout, are you, Yuan Shikai, a person who is content with a life of fishing, woodworking, farming, and studying?

    As soon as Sun Yuanqi approached the Yangshou Hall, he heard someone inside coughing heavily, and then asked: "Keding, are there any guests?"

    "Yes, father, Mr. Sun from the cabinet is here to visit!" Yuan Keding replied with his hands solemn.

    "Ah, Mr. Sun"??.  Therefore, in order to quell the rebellion, the court must first make some concessions to win over the constitutionalists and isolate the revolutionary party. Then, the army can press forward to Wuchang with overwhelming force, and then the rebellious party can be quelled.  So Yuan has six requirements:

    ¡°1. The National Assembly will be held next year;

    ¡°2. Organize a responsible cabinet;

    ¡°3. Tolerate those who caused this uprising;

    ¡°4. Lift the party ban;

    ¡°5. Full authority to command the waterway armies and regarding the establishment of the army must be entrusted;

    "6. Sufficient military expenditures must be provided."

    Sun Yuanqi secretly calculated in his heart: Among Yuan Shikai's six conditions, the first and second were to win over the constitutionalists, and the third and fourth were to recruit moderates from the revolutionary party, such as being forced to become the interim governor of the Hubei military government.  For Li Yuanhong, the fifth and sixth items are to gain benefits for himself.  The six items cover everything, and it sounds like the conditions have already been thought out!

    Sun Yuanqi said: "With these conditions, Sun will not dare to act on his own. However, after returning to the city, he will inform the court as soon as possible. Please also ask Mr. Yuan to wait for the good news and make preparations in advance!"

    There is no doubt that Zaifeng cannot defeat Yuan Shikai, so it is conceivable that everything will eventually go according to Yuan Shikai's requirements.  (To be continued.
