Speaking of plagiarism, Ma Yinchu said: "I think there will definitely be many people who will imitate your beginning in the future, you have to be mentally prepared." ”

Zhuang Yan said with a smile: "What psychological preparation you want to make, isn't it just a beginning, imitate it." At the end of the day, it's just a narrative device, and I don't have to be unhappy. ”

"I'm relieved that you have this mentality, literary works, for excellent things, it's normal to have some references. And then again, no matter how many people use this beginning in the future, people will remember that you were the first to use it. Ma Yinchu said with a smile.

……

A few months later, when Ma Yinchu saw a large number of "border cities" emerging, he would remember the night when they were talking about the Tao at the North Gate......

Ma Yinchu would never have thought that he would really come up with a large number of imitation works. However, he obviously underestimated the cheekiness of the literati, not only imitating the beginning of Zhuang Yan, but also imitating the content.

Zhuang Yan didn't accept the advertising in some places, because he didn't care about the money, but he didn't care that anyone cared.

When the local governments saw that Zhuang did not accept Zhuang's words, they changed their goals and looked for other writers.

For a while, many "propaganda pamphlets" in various cities sprung up on the market, and their content was at least five points similar to "Border City".

But that's all a few months away, so let's not say it for now.

After having dinner with Ma Yinchu, Zhuang Yan went back to the hotel. Ma Yinchu and they were not bad tonight, and they were not very drunk. These are all members of the Writers' Association, and Chairman Tie of the Writers' Association will convene Yanjing and other foreign members who have come to participate in the Pu Songling Award tomorrow to have an exchange meeting.

It's also because they have something to do tomorrow, so they didn't drink much tonight, and Ma Yinchu also expressed regret.

In fact, there is no subordinate relationship between the Writers' Association and their members, not that they have to go over when the Writers' Association tells them to pass, but Zhuang Yan will go tomorrow, and they will only pass for the sake of Zhuang Yan's face.

Tomorrow's exchange conference, the members of the Yanjing Writers Association will definitely not come. If all of them come, including the members who have come from other places this time, it is estimated that there will be more than 300 people.

But even if not all of them come, there will definitely be no shortage of people, and it is definitely not a simple matter of finding a room, everyone can sit down and chat.

……

The next morning, in the apartment where He Xiaoya and the others lived, Ren Lian sat in front of the dresser combing her hair, and He Xiaoya lay on the bed yawning and said, "Sister Lian, what are you doing early in the morning, do you want to go out?"

Ren Lian continued to fiddle with her hair, nodded and said, "Well, there is an event in the Writers' Association today, and I happen to be free, so I will participate in it." ”

"What?" He Xiaoya almost jumped up from the bed, "You said that you got up so early to participate in the activities of the Writers' Association, haven't you always been uninterested in the activities of the Writers' Association? Besides, my uncle is now in Japan, and he will definitely not go to the Writers' Association, so you go alone?"

Ren Lian nodded, "Well, I'll go alone, what's the matter, why don't you come with me?"

"You can spare me. He Xiaoya hurriedly buried her head under the pillow, "A group of old scholars said together, I will die if I stay in this environment for five minutes." However, what is the big deal with your Yanjing Writers' Association, and what activities are you going to do?"

"It's not the Yanjing Writers Association, it's the activity of the National Writers Association. Ren Lian said.

"National Writers Association?" He Xiaoya said strangely, "Sister Lian, you are not a member of the National Writers Association, what are you doing here?"

"Go over and see. Ren Lian said.

He Xiaoya slapped her forehead, "Oh, with your father's prestige, it's not a piece of cake to participate in an event of the National Writers Association." But it's strange to you, I've never seen you so concerned before. Hey, that's not right!"

The little girl suddenly thought of something, her apricot eyes widened, and she looked Ren Lian up and down, "Tsk, I know what your Writers' Association activities are, oh, no, or rather, I know who will pass in today's Writers' Association." ”

Ren Lian pretended to be stupid, "Who can there be, aren't they those old pedants in your mouth?"

"Sister Lian, don't try to fool me. He Xiaoya got up from the bed, ran behind Ren Lian and pressed her shoulder, "I guess today's writers' association activities have something to do with tomorrow's Pu Songling Award." ”

"Well, it's related, what's wrong?" Ren Lian asked.

He Xiaoya rolled her eyes, "Since it is related to the Pu Songling Award, then Zhuang Yan will definitely pass." ”

Ren Lian nodded indifferently, "It should be over." ”

He Xiaoya held Ren Lian's shoulders and looked at her face back and forth several times, "I said Sister Lian, are you like this, you just admit it, you went to see Zhuang Yan this time." ”

Ren Lian sneered, "Okay, doesn't it have much to do with you, don't lie in bed, I'll leave in a while, I can't cook breakfast for you at home, you go down and buy something to eat yourself." ”

"Why doesn't it matter, if Zhuang Yan is good with you, it's my brother-in-law. ”

Ren Lian's face turned red suddenly, and she brushed her hands again and again, "Go, go, little girl, full of nonsense, you are full of advanced thoughts, it seems that I have to report to your parents and make them happy." ”

Hearing this, He Xiaoya immediately coaxed, "Don't, Sister Lian, I was wrong, I promise I will never say this again." ”

Well, okay, I'll leave now, you're fine at home, I'll be back in the afternoon. ”

After Ren Lian packed up, she walked out of the house with a small bag, but at this time, He Xiaoya's shout came from behind her: "Sister Lian, go to see your brother-in-law to behave better, take him home quickly, our family is waiting to see him." ”

"This girl!"

After Ren Lian left, He Xiaoya lay on the bed, the more she thought about it, the more interesting she felt, and took out her mobile phone and dialed a call out.

"Oh, Auntie, I'm Xiaoya, how are you doing, I'm okay. I have something to tell you, it's Sister Lian, she has a favorite person recently. What do you look like? Tall and thin, quite fair. I'm sorry, Sister Lian won't let me say, you want to know, you can call her yourself. But let me remind you that they're going on a date in a while, and you'd better call her later. ”

After finishing the call, the little girl's face had a successful expression. She made this call to Ren Lian's mother, she knew that Ren Lian, as an older young woman, had not been in love until now, and her uncles and aunts didn't say it, but they were more anxious than anyone else.

After a while, she thought of something again, and quickly dialed the phone again, "Auntie, you must not say that I said it." ”
