Chapter 322: A Big Family
Zhuang Yan hurriedly stood up, took out the invitation card from his arms, bowed down and handed it to Gu Hongming: "This is the invitation, the time is the sixth day of the first month, and the location is the Denglong Hall of the Yuanyi Hotel." ”
The venue of the banquet was set last night, Yao Qian's efficiency was very amazing, and others had already called to contact the hotel while they were still on the train, which also saved Zhuang Yan a lot of things, at least there was no need to send invitations and then notify the banquet location one by one.
Gu Hongming took the invitation and put it on the table at hand without looking at it, he said with a smile, "I will naturally go when the time comes, and you can tell me, who did you invite this time?"
Zhuang Yan told Gu Hongming that he was going to invite Kang Youwei and Cai Yuanpei, and when he heard Zhuang Yan say that he was the first to invite him, Gu Hongming looked very happy, "So, you will go to Kang Youwei from me for a while?"
Zhuang Yan nodded, "That's right, I'm going to visit Gong Kang and their mansion later." ”
"In that case, I won't leave you to eat with me, and I won't have to waste time with me, so let's go. ”
Not only Zhuang Yan, but several other people were a little surprised, they didn't expect Gu Hongming to be so simple.
However, Zhuang Yan thought about whether Gu Hongming was deliberately polite, so he said: "Coming to visit Gu Gong shouldn't be so hasty, Kang Gong and their side are going later, I believe he can understand." ”
Gu Hongming waved his hand loudly, "Don't be kind to me, I really told you to leave, hurry up, otherwise the old man will be angry." ”
After speaking, he stopped talking, picked up the teacup in his hand, and looked like a send-off.
Seeing him like this, Zhuang Yan and a few of them, you look at me, I look at you, and finally Zhuang Yan stood up first, "In this case, then the sixth day of the first month will wait for Gu Gong." ”
Gu Hongming was holding the tea and blowing the tea powder, "Let's go, let's go, why is it so uncrisp." ”
In this way, it took less than five minutes for a few people to go to Gu Hongming's study, and then they walked out again.
A few of them had just walked out of the door of the study, and they happened to run into Rongzi walking this way with a few cups of tea.
"Who are you?" said Rongzi when she saw a few people coming out.
Zhuang Yan arched his hand, "The things that should be said have been said to Gu Gong, so I won't bother much." ”
"But you didn't even take a sip of tea. Rongzi said.
Ma Yinchu smiled beside him: "Then thank you Mrs. Rongzi for your kindness, this tea really can't be drunk, Zhuang Yan, let's go, the precious time that Gu Gong gave us to fight, don't waste it." ”
Zhuang Yan knew that Ma Yinchu was joking, so he smiled at Rongzi, and then turned around and left.
Rongzi entered the study with five cups of tea, looked at Gu Hongming, who was drinking tea, and whispered: "Is the master unhappy, why did the guests leave as soon as they came?"
Gu Hongming shook his head, "It's not unpleasant, I heard that they still have something behind them, so I drove them away." ”
"Did you drive them away...... Isn't this a good thing, this kind of thing will never happen in my hometown, don't you like them, sir?" said Rongzi.
Gu Hongming smiled, "This is not your hometown, and besides, I drove them today just shows that I like them." ”
"It's strange to like them, but drive them away......" Rongzi shook her head and walked out of the study.
Leaving Gu Hongming alone in the study, she smiled to herself, although her concubine was gentle and skillful, and she spoke Chinese well, but after so many years in China, she still didn't know enough about Chinese culture.
Over there, Zhuang Yan said that after they went out from Gu Hongming's house, they went straight to Kang Youwei's house, Kang Youwei lived in villa No. 24, not far from Gu Hong's famous house.
A few people walked to the place in seven or eight minutes, different from the desertion of Gu Hong's famous house, a few people just arrived at the door of Kang Youwei's house, and they could feel the excitement of his home.
There were two five or six-year-old girls playing with snowdrifts at the door, and the snow in the "professor's area" had actually been shoveled, but Kang Youwei left a snowdrift alone in front of his house, which seemed to be for children to play with.
As soon as the five people arrived, the two children saw it, but they only knew Liang Qichao, and one of them, a slightly older little girl with pigtails on her head, immediately rushed into the house and shouted: "Grandpa, grandpa, Uncle Liang is here." ”
The other little girl in the back seemed to realize that she didn't know it later, and when the one in front ran into the house, she ran in with her, and shouted, "Grandpa, grandpa, Uncle Liang is here." ”
Okay, now there is no need for Zhuang Yan to knock on the door, Kang Youwei already knows that they are waiting for someone to come.
Before the five of them walked to the door, Kang Youwei had already come out in person, and he brought a large family with him.
"Haha, Ziyan, you came just in time, I talked to Tongwei and them about you. Kang Youwei said with a smile.
Zhuang Yan knew that the Tongwei in his mouth was his daughter, and one of the two girls just now was Kang Tongwei's child.
It stands to reason that the two little girls should be called Kang Youwei's grandfather, but Kang Youwei's two sons-in-law feel a little half-rich, so they gave birth to a daughter and took Kang Youwei's surname.
And Kang Youwei's two sons are actually still young now, probably ** years old.
Kang Youwei has three wives in this life, in addition to his original partner Zhang Yunzhu, who is three years older than him, he also has two concubines, both of whom are now in their twenties.
In Zhuang Yan's impression, Kang Youwei in the previous life had six wives, but it seems to coincide with only one Zhang Yunzhu of the three in this life, and the others are different.
Some people say that Kang Youwei knew that the country was about to change the marriage law, so he took advantage of that time to quickly marry two more wives, for fear that he would not be able to take concubines after the marriage law was changed.
In fact, Zhuang Yan believes this statement, because Kang Youwei in the previous life was more romantic in this regard, not to mention marrying women from several countries, except for the original partner, the other wives were not over twenty years old when they married them.
Kang Youwei, as an advocate of monogamy, married six wives, which is really a bit ironic.
At this time, Kang Youwei pointed to Zhuang Yan and said to the big family behind, "I don't need to introduce you to you, I'm afraid you all know who this person is." ”
A young girl standing behind Kang Youwei said: "This is also introduced by my father, who doesn't know the words of the Chinese pioneer writer Zhuang Ziyan, and who doesn't know?"
Zhuang Yan looked at the person who spoke, probably fifteen or sixteen years old, but Kang Youwei had too many daughters, and Zhuang Yan couldn't tell who this was, so he could only roughly guess that it should not be Kang Tongwei and Kang Tongbi.
Kang Youwei said with a smile: "Just say that there is no need to introduce, Ziyan, Yuanshan, Wenhai, Zijian, you come in, don't blow the wind outside." ”
Zhuang Yan frowned, because he noticed that Kang Youwei called everyone, but he didn't call Liang Qichao. turned his head to look at Liang Qichao again, and sure enough, his expression was not very good.
