Ma Yinchu's concubine was a matter of the previous life, and he did not have this opportunity in this life, because China in this life had already become a monogamous country one step earlier.

After leaving Gu Hongming's house, several people left Yenching University and drove to Lian Liwen's house, the family courtyard of the Ministry of Culture.

Because he had been informed in advance, Lian Liwen did not entertain guests today, and he was waiting for a few of them at home since the morning.

Lian Liwen's house is a small apartment given to him by the Ministry of Culture, although he is a former Minister of Culture, but the apartment he gets is not big, and it looks like it is less than 100 square meters. The decoration inside the house is also very ordinary, as for the furniture, it looks old, and there are few large appliances.

The old minister's family composition is much simpler, Lian Liwen has no children under his knees, and the old couple has always depended on each other.

Because there are usually few intersections, Wang Lijian came to Lian Liwen's house once among them, and that time because it was for some official business, he came and went in a hurry, and he left without even sitting down.

When Zhuang Yan and they arrived, the old couple was watching TV, and after inviting Zhuang Yan and them to the small living room, Lian Liwen smiled and said: "Xiao Liu muttered in the morning that he didn't know when you would come, and asked me if I wanted to prepare lunch for you, but I knew that you must have had lunch at the Guangsha before you could come over. ”

The Xiao Liu in his mouth is his wife, and there are many people of their generation who call their wives like this, and his wife also calls him Lao Lian.

As for Guangsha, it is Kang Youwei's word, and even Liwen called Kang Youwei like this, which also shows that the relationship between the two is actually quite good, at least he has not called Kang Youwei Kang Zuyi like Gu Hongming.

Hearing Lian Liwen's words, Zhuang Yan scratched his head and smiled, "Lian Lao Mingjian, I came here after eating at Gong Kang's house. ”

Ma Yinchu in the back also smiled: "It seems that Kang Gong's enthusiasm is well known." ”

"I don't know if everyone knows it, but I do know him. Lian Liwen said with a smile, and then invited everyone to sit on the sofa, "My house is not as spacious as Tang Sheng's house, the house is simple, and it is quite spacious for our old couple to live in, but when guests come, people have nowhere to put their feet, which is really embarrassing." ”

Zhuang Yan waved his hand again and again, "Even the old words are heavy, are we a few of us like this, and such a big place is not enough for us to stay?"

At this time, even Liwen's wife Liu Ziying came over with tea, and Zhuang Yan thanked them: "It's troublesome Teacher Liu." ”

Liu Ziying also worked in the Ministry of Culture before, and they should call her Teacher Liu.

"What's the trouble, I look forward to you coming more, after Lao Lian retired, he usually didn't have anything to do at home, he stayed in the study every day and didn't see the day, and he didn't let others come over to pay New Year's greetings during the New Year's holiday, I was afraid that he would be sick at home. It's good that you're here, and you can talk to him. Liu Ziying said with a smile.

Lian Liwen pouted and said, "How can there be so many words when pouring tea." ”

Hearing Lian Liwen's blame, Liu Ziying was not dissatisfied, rolled her eyes and returned to the kitchen.

When Liu Ziying left, Lian Liwen sneered, "Don't listen to her exaggerations, what does it mean to see the light of day, I usually just spend a little longer in the study, and I don't go out at all." Besides, at our age, it's better to be still than to be still, and I'm afraid of making a fuss, and I'm afraid of people coming to bother me when I stay at home, so I tell people that people don't come to visit the New Year during the Spring Festival. ”

Zhuang Yan smiled: "Then a few of us came over, didn't we disturb Lian Lao's tranquility?"

"No ......" Lian Liwen was about to explain, but when he saw Zhuang Yan's smile, he shook his head and smiled, "Ziyan, you and I are so lazy." ”

Lian Liwen's house was indeed deserted, and everyone was going to leave with an invitation on the ground, but when they saw the old couple at home, they felt a little unbearable, so they didn't leave directly, but sat for a while.

I didn't have much contact with Lian Liwen, and Zhuang Yan's contact with him was the Writers' Association Exchange Meeting and the Pu Songling Award Ceremony. Zhuang Yan still remembers that when Lian Liwen stood on the stage and told him that Chinese literature would be handed over to him in the future, Lian Liwen's tone was extremely sincere and excited, and it can be seen that Lian Liwen is indeed very optimistic about him.

With two limited contacts, they couldn't talk anything other than literature.

Lian Liwen asked about Zhuang Yan's new book, because the new book was already in the plan, and Zhuang Yan didn't hide it, so he said it one by one.

In the middle, just when everyone was about to have nothing to say, Ma Yinchu suddenly interjected, "Hey, doesn't Zhuang Yan have another plan this year?"

When he heard Ma Yinchu's words, Zhuang Yan was stunned for a moment, and before he could react to what Ma Yinchu was referring to, Ma Yinchu said again: "Aren't you going to run a school?"

Zhuang Yan raised his eyebrows, and then understood why Ma Yinchu brought up this matter at this time, he wanted to test Lian Liwen's reaction here. I also want to see if I can pull Lian Liwen onto the big boat.

This matter should have been considered by Zhuang Yan, but it is understandable that Ma Yinchu is so active at this time. Because Ma Yinchu was very interested in Zhuang Yan's school-running plan, but he was a little conflicted in his heart, what he needed now was to add some weight to the balance in his heart. If Lian Liwen can be pulled to Zhuang Yan's boat, then Ma Yinchu will not hesitate to get on Zhuang Yan's boat.

Sure enough, after hearing the news that Zhuang Yan was going to run a school, Lian Liwen showed great interest, "What, Ziyan, it's not enough for you to accept one student, and you still want to be all over the world?"

Zhuang Yan said with a smile: "It's not that I want to be all over the world, but it's true that I want to contribute to the education of the motherland with enthusiasm." ”

Lian Liwen stroked his knee and said, "You...... Do you want to run a middle school or a primary school?"

Zhuang Yan shook his head and said: "It is neither a middle school nor a primary school, or in other words, it is both a middle school and a primary school, and I want to run a comprehensive school, from primary school to university." ”

"University?" Lian Liwen frowned, "It's easy to run a middle school and a primary school, but as for the university, there are a lot of things involved, not to mention the difficulty of running a school, it's not easy to go down with just one set of procedures." ”

Zhuang Yan said with a smile: "Don't build a new one, my plan is to buy a qualified school, and then borrow chickens to lay eggs." ”

Lian Liwen listened and nodded, "This is also a method, now the state is not too strict in this aspect, and it is also a shortcut to acquire a university and obtain qualifications, even so, what you need to consider now is some other real problems." For example, where is the school located, what majors are established, and what teachers are going to be hired?"

Zhuang Yan said with a smile: "It is precisely because there are so many problems to be solved, so I came to Lian Lao here today, and I am going to learn from you." ”
