The Great God of Net Wen was reborn in 1927

"……What did you say?"

The male voice on the phone expressed genuine doubts.

"I just seemed to have an auditory hallucination..."

Zhang Qiuren said slowly.

Xu Shaoting answered unhurriedly: "I have a remittance slip for the manuscript fee of "The Story of the Spring Breeze" here, which clearly states the source of the manuscript fee and the name of the payee. If you still don't believe me, call Mr. Xu Huaiqing, his person You can always trust Teacher Pin, and you will never be the one who lies for children about such things."

"Besides, I don't need to tell such a lie." Xu Shaoting finally said.

There was another long silence on the phone, Shao Ting held the receiver, seemingly calm, his little heart was already beating faster, but in the end it was because he really wanted to visit Principal Ye, so he explained to Zhang Qiuren that he was a matter of knowledge and practice. The embarrassment of the matter gradually weakened.

"Are you really Zhixing?" After a while, the person on the other end of the phone still had an unbelievable tone.

"I really am." Xu Shaoting replied.

Then he added: "Teacher, I want to visit Principal Ye."

"Oh..." The tone of the person on the other end of the phone fluttered.

Shao Ting yelled several times before the other party was called back to his senses, and he heard the other party give an address in a weak voice.

Zhang Qiuren said: "Come here... If it was you, Principal Ye had already said that he would like to have a chat with the author of "Spring Breeze."

The driver at home drove all the way to the address that the young master said. When he arrived at the place, there were signs on both sides of the school gate with wide iron railings, which said St. Mary's Rescue College. The outside world speculated which nursing home Mr. Ye Zhenzhu should be in at this time. Few Some people thought that she chose to stay in the school she founded by herself in her last days.

The uncle driver drove the car in front of the school gate, and reported Xu Shaoting's name to the gatekeeper, and the man came out with his back bent and trotted to open the gate for them.

All the way into the school, Shaoting leaned on the car window and looked out. The scenery inside the school was much better than he imagined. Before coming here, because he thought of the word "rescue station", he always thought that this is a place full of cold gray tones, Kind of like a welfare home.

When I got here, I saw the greenery before I came in. When the car drove all the way, I was surprised by the green lawn and the sycamore trees that can only be hugged by two or three adults.It's not that Xu Shaoting is exaggerating, but after he came to Shanghai a hundred years ago, he saw in the Shanghai stock market the decadent hustle and bustle of a prosperous city unique to this era.

So much so that in such a metropolis, St. Mary's Rescue College, which is like a national forest park and full of quiet and green scenery, made Xu Shaoting wonder, what kind of person should Principal Ye be?

a lady.

I learned from Xu Huaiqing that he is now 43 years old. At the age of eight, he fled from the north to Shanghai with a group of refugees, and was taken in by a British missionary. In the same year, he was adopted by a white lady from England.

And when it comes to President Ye's white adoptive mother, there is absolutely no way to ignore it.

This white lady who adopted a Chinese girl, keywords about her include British nobles, heirs of manors, speculators in the Sino-British trade, one of the most famous rich women in Britain, devout Christians...

And lifelong unmarried, there is only one adopted daughter in China who has no blood relationship, but has also severed the mother-daughter relationship early.

Principal Ye's legendary life, the reason why it can be called a legend, also has the factor of her lifelong unmarried British aristocratic white adoptive mother.

The adoptive mother with such a series of names and the gossip brought by outsiders to President Ye's life are also indispensable.

Waiting for the car to stop in front of the building that Teacher Zhang Qiuren explained, "Go straight and see the first gray five-story teaching building, with a row of lawns in front, and a group of fat white pigeons in eight or nine out of ten", Xu Shaoting pushed the car door and went out. In the car, a group of white pigeons were pacing the lawn with their blank heads, probably looking for bugs to eat.

Straight through this group of fat pigeons, they are not afraid, some of them are blocking his way, and when they see people coming, they just hop two steps with their tails and feathers up, and give way lazily.

Going around to the back of the first floor according to what Teacher Zhang said, when Xu Shaoting walked through the corridor, he heard the sound of reading from the classroom. He looked at it curiously and found that the ages of the students were not very uniform, they were divided into men and women Classes, but inside it can be seen that children in their teens and teenagers in their sixteenth and seventeenth years are in the same classroom.

He looked inside, and there were some students who were distracted during class and looked out of the classroom window. They met his eyes and looked curiously several times until the pale and handsome boy passed by and could no longer see the shadow.

After walking around to this teaching building, a floor-to-ceiling window was opened at the back, and two familiar people were seen under the steps with floor-to-ceiling curtains.

Shen Lingjun was talking with Zhang Qiuren, and two black limousines were parked in front of them.

Zhang Qiuren was saying: "I have known you for a longer time, and I thought that apart from the teacher-student relationship, I could also be a good friend. Who would have thought that you cheated on me with a kid who has only been together for less than a month."

Shen Lingjun helplessly spread his hands: "What did I lie to you?"

Zhang Qiuren blew his beard and glared and said, "Are you laughing at me in your heart, seeing me always praise Zhixing in front of Shao Ting, you're going to laugh your teeth out?"

"Why is Da Ya being laughed off—Shao ​​Ting—" Shen Lingjun asked halfway, his ears and eyes were more sensitive than Zhang Qiuren's, and when he turned around, his puzzled expression turned into a genuinely happy smile.

Xu Shaoting walked over, greeted Shen Lingjun naturally, and asked him: "Are you in good health?"

Shen Lingjun smiled and said: "It would have been two days earlier. I wanted to find you and invite you to watch a movie or have a meal, but I didn't expect, um, it should be my aunt? My aunt came from England to visit her daughter. I happened to be in The Shanghai stock market, coupled with the special status of my aunt, I am the best candidate to be responsible for her safety in Shanghai."

Xu Shaoting could still understand the first two sentences, but when Shen Lingjun said the latter, he was already at a loss, and only the words "auntie" remained in his ears, thinking that with Shen Lingjun's Chinese level, does he know what "auntie" means?

Zhang Qiuren interjected, "Shen Lingjun's aunt is Principal Ye's mother."

Xu Shaoting: "That... the white lady of the British aristocracy?"

Zhang Qiuren said: "Exactly."

Xu Shaoting looked at Shen Lingjun in great surprise. The pale young man had a complex expression on his face, but he still explained: "My stepfather is the nephew of the Marquis."

Xu Shaoting stared at Shen Lingjun: "Brother...then you too?"

Shen Lingjun hurriedly shook his head: "I'm just an ordinary person, I'm not a nobleman."

After speaking, the two looked at each other and laughed at the same time.

Seeing Xu Shaoting coming from the side, Zhang Qiuren was embarrassed, and had already prepared to talk to his students about "he is Zhixing".

Unexpectedly, after the student came, he and another student completely ignored others and chatted as if they only saw each other in their own eyes. They didn't take him as a teacher at all.

——Later, Shaoting recalled that he had a good relationship with his senior brother at the beginning, and he all admitted that he already had a good impression at that time.

The two are in a good mood when they see each other for no reason, and they can't help but smile when they see each other. They have already surpassed the friendship of friends, and they are moving towards, or may just stay at this stage and will not go to the next stage. The period of initial affection.

So the two of them didn't do it on purpose, it was because of "love", and they didn't deliberately ignore Teacher Zhang Qiuren.

Zhang Qiuren, however, interrupted the two of them to giggle smirkingly.

"Shaoting—or should I call you Mr. Zhixing?"

"Or is it Mr. Qian Fengmingyue who came in and is in full swing?"

Xu Shaoting looked at Shen Lingjun silently: "Why did you also tell the teacher the pseudonym Qianfengmingyue?"

Shen Lingjun: "This is really wronged...Mr. Zhang didn't ask carefully, he said, 'Do you know that Shaoting is the author who is currently being discussed'?"

"I took it for granted and replied: Do you know that Shao Ting wrote "A Great Way to Immortal Journey"?"

Shen Lingjun showed a dumbfounding expression: "Who knew that Mr. Zhang was referring to "The Story of the Spring Breeze", isn't the novel that is being hotly discussed right now "The Great Dao and Immortal Journey"?"

Xu Shaoting looked at Zhang Qiuren suddenly: Didn't both vests fall off?

Seeing his surprised and embarrassed look, Zhang Qiuren snorted in satisfaction.

But Xu Shaoting thought strangely: Teacher Zhang's expression looks a little... arrogant.

"I said, were you secretly laughing at me in your heart at that time?" Zhang Qiuren, a man in his 30s, cast a sour glance at the boy in front of him.

Shaoting replied sincerely: "No."

He looked solemn: "It's too late for me to be happy and shy, how could I laugh at you."

"Really?" Zhang Qiuren asked distrustfully.

"Really." Xu Shaoting's mind turned quickly, and he said what he had thought on the way when he came here, "Do you think I am the kind of person who laughs at others? If I am such a person, how can I write "Spring Breeze" Such a story?"

In order to dispel Zhang Qiuren's thoughts, he already shamelessly boasted...

Zhang Qiuren didn't speak, but just looked at him silently.

Xu Shaoting sighed, and he said with a more serious expression: "Mr. Zhang, I really didn't mean to hide it from you. In fact, I also felt very embarrassed about this matter, so I didn't tell you that I was Zhixing."

After looking at this young man for a long time, Shen Lingjun couldn't stand it anymore, and was about to say: Are you finished?

Seeing Zhang Qiuren waving his hands, the two reluctantly replied with a face of relief: "Just forgive you, am I such a narrow-minded person?"

Shen Lingjun said casually: "Aren't you careful...?"

Zhang Qiuren glared at Shen Lingjun, then looked at Xu Shaoting, he said: "Next time in class, I will take the issue of "Spring Breeze" published by "New Moon", and you write me a word of blessing, with Zhixing's name attached."

Shaoting suddenly heard such an operation, and replied honestly: "What is this for?"

Shen Lingjun said, "I'm looking for your autograph."

Zhang Qiuren couldn't bear it anymore, turned his head and punched Shen Lingjun's shoulder, and scolded unceremoniously: "Lingjun, you are the only one with a long mouth? Why are you so good at talking!"

Shao Ting watched from the side and laughed, Shen Lingjun was hammered and instead turned his face to wink at him, after Zhang Qiuren finished hammering, he also smiled, and said triumphantly: "Zhixing is my student."

After finishing speaking, she pinched her waist very proudly, and just laughed, the floor-to-ceiling curtains of the French windows behind her were pulled open by a pale hand.

Wearing a long skirt, a white woman with long brown and golden curly hair tied back, leaving only two strands hanging down her cheeks, said coldly in Chinese: "Please be quiet."

Seeing Teacher Zhang Qiuren, Xu Shaoting closed his mouth with a "quack" like a duck with its throat choked.

And turned his head cautiously, and shouted softly and honestly: "Ms. Mary, Mr. Zhixing is here. Principal Ye said he wants to see him."

"I know." The white lady's voice was unusually indifferent.

At the same time, she walked down the steps slowly. Although she was a woman, she could never be described as petite, soft, or tall and slender.

Her gray-blue eyes swept across Zhang Qiuren and Shen Lingjun, and landed on the only strange boy present.

When she walked in front of the boy, Xu Shaoting felt pressure not only because of the broad frame and height of this middle-aged Caucasian lady, which was not inferior to that of a Caucasian man, but also because of the gazing from top to bottom with mean and cold gray-blue eyes. , almost subconsciously took a step back.

Fortunately, remember not to admit defeat. Taking this step back seems to be tantamount to losing the face of the Huaxia people.

Xu Shaoting straightened his back even more silently, and imitating what Zhang Qiuren said, he said politely: "Ms. Mary, hello."

The white lady looked at him with a tone as cold as her gray-blue eyes: "You are Zhixing?"

Xu Shaoting nodded, and Ms. Mary said indifferently: "Go in, but walk softly, and speak softly, don't be impatient."

Hearing this, he didn't know what to say to this unfriendly white lady who was almost hostile. Shaoting only nodded, and then passed Ms. Mary. Suddenly the white lady called out to him again.

"I read your novel," said the white lady.

Shaoting stood on the steps and turned around, showing a smile: "That's...my honor."

After all, this is a Marquis.

"I also read the comments on this novel, and Ahn'Qiraj's long comments to refute these comments."

Xu Shaoting looked at Ms. Mary: "I am very grateful to President Ye for writing me a review, and I have been greatly appreciated for it—"

"The Americans opened up Japan with black ships 70 years ago, and 70 years later, an island country like Japan has become one of the world's great powers." Ms. Mary interrupted Xu Shaoting impatiently, "The same thing happened in China's ancient It happened when the emperor was in power, thus ending the imperial system in China for thousands of years."

"Some people say that there will be another great power country like Japan in this ancient East. But the fact is that the emperor has disappeared into history. You learn from us white people to build a government, learn our system and knowledge, but then? This Has the country gotten better?"

"In the novel you wrote, the things that happened to those women are still happening in this unbelieving land?" Ms. Mary sneered, "In 1912, your last emperor abdicated, and we have done a good job. In order to welcome the birth of a new powerful country, imagine the birth of a behemoth, a new empire that cannot be underestimated."

"But what is the difference between your government now and the Qing Dynasty that has long since perished? Twenty years ago, Britain, France, Japan, the United States, Italy and Germany...anyone could take away silver, porcelain, silk and satin from here. There are tens of thousands of corpses of Chinese laborers. Today, 20 years later, is no different from yesterday 20 years ago."

Ms. Mary said word by word: "Is such a country really saved? Is it worth my only child's life for it?"
