The entertainment tycoon of the Republic of China

Unlike the Wen Family Courtyard, which is located near the Hankou Wharf, the Huguang Xunxuan Mansion was built near a military camp in the suburbs. It is an old Chinese-style mansion. It is said that it was remodeled from the mansion of a wealthy businessman in the late Qing Dynasty. The wall is very impressive.

An Yujing spoke anxiously in Wicker Lane just now, Xie Yan didn't dare to delay, went back and greeted Mu Xiuxiu, and then got into the car with An Yujing in the patrol mansion.

Xie Yan is not familiar with Fang Qingming, the Huguang inspector in this world, but one only needs to think a little about what he has done in his current position, and you will understand what kind of political and military talent this person is.

Under his leadership, the three towns of Wuhan have not only been spared from the devastation of the war, but have also developed better in just a few years. Both the people's livelihood and the economy are at the forefront of China today.

Such a dangerous and powerful hero would never appear on Xie Yan's social list in his previous life, because he has always disliked uncertain changes.

But once he has traveled to his current identity, in this era with no relatives, his life experience is a mystery, and his status is underground, Xie Yan has no choice but to take the initiative to step forward after the other party speaks.

Sitting next to Xie Yan, An Yujing was also a little nervous. Although she was well-informed, it was the first time that she saw Fang Qingming, a party with real power in several provinces like Fang Qingming, patrolling.

She was discussing the school at her classmate's house today, and accidentally revealed that she was "Li Qing" who wrote an article in the newspaper. Mr. Wen, who was listening to the juniors, thought of something, and immediately chatted with her about As for the racetrack, I will invite her to go to Fangfang to inspect it together.

Although An Yujing didn't know why, she could roughly guess that Mr. Wen's move was related to the article she published on the racecourse in the newspaper. Naturally, the ruler with real power would not shirk, and immediately went to the inspector's mansion with Mr. Wen Lao.

Mr. Wen had already made an appointment with Fang Xunxuan today. Fang Xunxuan was not surprised by his arrival, but he did not expect that the other party would bring a young female student with him.

Hearing that An Yujing was the Li Qinghou, Fang Xunxuan's eyes showed a bit of surprise, and soon disappeared without a trace.

"Miss An, I read your article in the newspaper before, and I wanted someone to check your identity, but there have been too many delays recently. I didn't expect you to be a heroine."

Huguang inspector Fang Qingming is in his 40s this year. He once stayed abroad when he was young. He wore a white suit tailored to the body, with slender cheeks and a refined smile. He will be a powerful person in Huguang known for his tough tactics, wisdom and closeness to monsters.

An Yujing didn't dare to make a big deal in front of Fang Qingming, so she quickly declined a few words, but Fang Qingming waved his hand.

"Fang Qingming has been in charge of the local area for so many years, and I only believe in one principle in employing people--referring talents regardless of background, regardless of background, gender, age, as long as I have the right mind and ability, I will use him in the right place. Miss An is willing to follow today. Old Mr. Wen came here, presumably he already had the idea of ​​serving the country in his heart, so if this is the case, then you don’t need to talk about these time-wasting modest words, just express your thoughts and doubts.”

Seeing what Fang Qingming said, An Yujing understood the temper of this Huguang inspector, and immediately put aside all the formalities, and talked about his views on the racecourse and the efforts he had made, and asked whether Fang Qingming's subordinates had no economic talents. It is impossible not to see the hidden dangers in the racetrack, why no action was taken.

"Miss An said that she has established a western drama club and is preparing to rehearse a drama?" Fang Qingming was more interested in another piece of information, "Can you tell me about your progress in detail?"

An Yujing heard the words, so he had no choice but to briefly talk about Xie Yan and "Hankou Romance".

"The book "A Romance in Hankou" has already gained a good reputation among the people in Hankou. After a few days, the novel version will be serialized in the newspaper, and its reputation will definitely be improved. Mr. Xie Yan is also very good at scripts. Adaptation, I believe that when this drama is staged, it will definitely attract many people to watch it and cause a sensation in Hankou!"

"I know, I've heard of this story too." Fang Qingming rubbed his chin with a smile.

"Do you know?" This time it was An Yujing's turn to be surprised. Hankou Romance currently only has a storytelling version, and it is mainly circulated among the public in the market. Where did Fang Xunxuan know about?

"I was talking to foreigners two days ago, and I heard some novelty in this book."

"What is it?"

"Let me think about it..." Fang Xunxuan touched his chin and paused for half a second, giving up the imitation. "Probably, it is the rumored novelty of using Chinese to imitate the way foreigners speak, my dear old buddy or something."

"..."

An Yujing was sitting in the car, thinking of the scene at that time, she almost couldn't help laughing again, she turned her head to look at Xie Yan who was sitting next to her, feeling a little emotional in her heart - what was going on in Xie Yan's mind? Can come up with such a fun thing.

It is said that after those foreigners heard these words, some blew their beards and stared to protest, some were curious to find out how it was created, some were good-tempered and playful, and even took the initiative to imitate this kind of speech The tone, one mouthful of my dear, first annoyed their Chinese friends to death.

To sum it up in one sentence, Romance in Hankou is a magical book in various aspects.

Xie Yan noticed An Yujing's gaze, and cast a puzzled look at her. An Yujing shook his head to indicate that it was okay. There was also the driver of the inspection house in the car, and the two of them tacitly didn't say anything.

It took the car more than ten minutes to drive all the way to the gate of the inspection mansion. Xie Yan got out of the car and looked up at the three magnificent gates guarded by the guards in front of him. He was a little shocked.

If the Western-style building of Wen's family is a combination of classical and modern, then the mansion in front of him represents the foundation of China's thousand-year civilization.

Fang Qingming is over 40 years old this year. His wife has not been married since her early death. There is only one concubine who was in charge of the family before studying abroad to take care of the housework. His son and daughter are all studying abroad, so this huge house looks very empty.

Xie Yan and An Yujing, led by the servants of the inspector's mansion, soon arrived at the study where Fang Qingming and Mr. Wen were.

When they approached, Mr. Wen and Fang Xunxuan were talking about something ecstatically. Xie Yan vaguely heard the words "Xiang Yanlin", "List", and "Qing Ting". Everyone noticed their existence and stopped talking.

"Fang Xunxuan, Mr. Wen, hello." Seeing this, Xie Yan stepped forward and cupped his hands, "I am Xie Yan."

"Xie Xiaoyou, I haven't seen you for a few days. Miss An invited you here suddenly today. Didn't it delay you?" Mr. Wen laughed.

"No, I have nothing else to do these days except teaching and writing novels." Xie Yan also replied with a smile. Mr. Wen being so kind to him on this occasion is also implying that he should not be nervous, there is nothing wrong event.

Sure enough, Fang Xunxuan didn't put on airs after seeing Xie Yan, but chatted with him very peacefully about Hankou Romance, and expressed his expectation for the story he promised Mr. Wen Lao to promote the new school.

The entire conversation not only didn’t make people feel uncomfortable at all, but also firmly grasped the dominance of the conversation. If the target was a fledgling young man, I’m afraid they wouldn’t even be able to discover the intention of the other party’s dominance. Xie Yan sighed in his heart while talking, so Meticulous thoughts and aura are worthy of the Huguang tour in this era.

In this era of turmoil and capable people, he must be more cautious in order to gain a foothold in an invincible position.

"By the way, Xie Yan, you said you are not from Hankou, so where are you from?" While Xie Yan spoke highly of Fang Qingming, Fang Qingming naturally noticed that the young man in front of him was beyond his age. Mature and wise, thinking of Mr. Wen's evaluation and suggestion just now, the idea of ​​recruiting talents suddenly appeared in his mind.

"I'm from the capital." Xie Yan thought for a while, but didn't mention her amnesia, "Speaking of which, my origin has something to do with you."

"Oh? It's about me?"

"My master is Bai Luoqiu, the head of the Dechun troupe. I went south with my master to Hankou to celebrate my birthday. Unexpectedly, the troupe was robbed by thieves on the way. Only a boy and I took advantage of the chaos to escape on a boat by the river. After a catastrophe, I came all the way to Hankou."

"Are you from the Dechun class?" Fang Qingming was a little surprised.

"Yes."

"When did you join the troupe?"

"A year ago." Xie Yan didn't know why, so she chose to tell the truth.

"Your surname is Xie." Fang Qingming squinted his eyes and tapped his fingers on the huanghuali wood desk, "Xie..."

"On tour?" Mr. Wen seemed to suddenly realize something when he saw Fang Qingming's behavior.

"Mr. Wen, do you think he looks like him?" Fang Qingming asked inexplicably.

Mr. Wen looked at Xie Yan, who was full of doubts, and said after a pause, "I thought he looked like him from the first time I saw him, but it wasn't—"

"Ask Bai Luoqiu when the time comes." Fang Qingming stopped Mr. Wen from continuing.

He looked at Xie Yan, as if he wanted to find something from the other's expression, but Xie Yan, who realized that something was wrong, had already restrained all expressions, so the two looked at each other, and finally read nothing from the other's face.

"Fang Xunxuan, can you tell me what's going on?" Xie Yan decided to take the initiative.

However, Fang Qingming just shook his head, "I don't know what to tell you. After all, everything is my speculation now. Let's talk about these things when your master comes. The people I sent to pick them up have already joined the theater troupe. Arrive at noon tomorrow at the latest."

Fang Qingming glanced at Xie Yan again, this time with an imperceptible sense of relief, "Bai Luoqiu has no reason to do useless things, his relationship with Xiang Yanlin is much better than what others imagined. I know the point, that matter finally has a chance to be resolved."

When Xie Yan heard Fang Qingming say this strange name—Xiang Yanlin, his heart suddenly twitched violently for no reason, as if the original owner who had already left still instinctively wanted to remind him of something.

When they came to the study just now, the name Xiang Yanlin seemed to be mentioned in the conversation between Fang Xunxuan and Mr. Wen?In addition to this, there are vaguely the words "Qing court" and "list"... Xie Yan thought of the strange wooden box she was carrying and the numbers inside, her eyes tightened quietly, and her heart surged. A bad feeling.
