When the two of them said this, Duan Qirui's wife He Yin had already beckoned them over for dinner.

"Let's go, we'll talk after dinner. Duan Qirui said.

Duan Qirui's family is not very rich, at least for his level, it is already very simple to eat four dishes and one soup for three people.

Mrs. Duan's skills are very good, but I heard her say that in fact, Duan Qirui's cooking skills are better, he has been cooking since he was a child, and later worked in the army for a short period of time.

This is something that Zhuang Yan never expected, because judging from Duan Qirui's promotion speed, no one would have thought that he would still work in the cooking class.

However, Duan Qirui nodded himself to affirm this matter, but the experience of the cooking class had nothing to do with cooking, and the troops were transferred back then, and the positions were relatively chaotic, so he was asked to work part-time as a squad leader in the cooking class for a period of time, but it was less than a month, and he neither carried the pot nor the spoon.

After eating, Zhuang Yan and Duan Qirui sat back on the sofa in the living room and started chatting.

After chatting for a while, Duan Qirui suddenly answered the phone.

"Hey, Lao Li, are you coming? when...... Come for dinner today...... Well, I'll be waiting for you at home. ”

Zhuang Yan had roughly understood that Duan Qirui should have a guest coming over to finish eating, and after Duan Qirui hung up the phone, Zhuang Yan got up and said, "Since there are still guests coming to Duan's house, then I will leave first." ”

"You don't want to go. Duan Qirui waved his hand to sit down, "This person who came here is an old oilman, quite interesting, you can meet him." ”

"Oh, I don't know which senior it is?" Zhuang Yan said with interest.

"You must know the name, so you might as well guess first. Duan Qirui said.

Zhuang Yan raised his eyebrows, Duan Qirui said that he must know the name of this person, that should be a very famous person, just now on the phone, I heard Duan Qirui call the other party Lao Li, then it should be surnamed Li.

There are a lot of people in the luggage, but Zhuang Yan didn't expect anyone to be more famous after thinking about it for a long time, and judging by Duan Chery's reaction just now, the other party should not have come from afar. Either they have lived in Jinling for a long time, or they are simply Jinling people.

After thinking about it for a long time, Zhuang Yan still didn't come up with a name, so he could only shake his head, "Forgive me for being stupid, I can't guess it." ”

Duan Qirui smiled: "Why can't you think of it, I don't ask you to guess, the next one is Li Boyuan." ”

"Li Boyuan?" Zhuang Yan's pupils closed, "Are you talking about Li Boyuan, the head of the Nanting Pavilion?"

Duan Qirui nodded and said, "Oh, I don't know about him yet." ”

"He didn't even ......"

Fortunately, he held back in time and didn't say the last word "death".

But he really wanted to ask, Li Boyuan didn't even die? Why do you want to say it, because according to the historical trajectory, Liu He is actually dead.

Li Boyuan was notoriously dying young, but he didn't expect to be alive.

Who is this Li Boyuan, that is a big man of the same level as Liu E, his "Officialdom Appearance" and Liu E's "The Travels of the Old Remnant", Wu Yanren's "Strange Phenomena Witnessed in Twenty Years" and Zeng Pu's "Sea of Flowers" are called the four major condemnations of the late Qing Dynasty.

Not to mention, except for Wu Yanren, the other three of these four are all Jiang Su people.

Zhuang Yan quickly flipped through the memory fragments of his predecessor in his mind, only to find that not only Li Boyuan was not dead, but even Wu Yanren was not dead. However, Zeng Pu seems to have been swept away by the rolling torrent of history, and now there is no such person.

Looking at Zhuang Yan stunned, Duan Qirui was puzzled: "You said he didn't do anything?"

Zhuang Yan came back to his senses, "Oh, I said he didn't even go to Yanjing to teach. ”

The reason why he said this is because the country's more senior scholars have basically gone to Yanjing to teach.

"There are a few schools in Yanjing that have invited him, but he is too far away to go. And the school here in Jinling also invited him, but he said that he didn't want to go if it was too close. I don't know where the school he said is that is not far away. Duan Qirui pouted.

At this time, Zhuang Yan also completely recovered, and said with a smile: "Maybe Mr. Li is not here, it's just a pretext." ”

"It must be an excuse, I don't believe there is a school in the world that can hire him. ”

Zhuang Yan's heart moved, but he didn't say anything.

He thought about running a school in the future, and when he became the principal himself, it was impossible for him to have no teachers under him.

He hadn't thought about this issue too seriously before, but after such an episode just now, it reminded him of this matter.

The teacher's things are difficult to say, and it is not difficult to say that they are not difficult. Teachers are everywhere, but it is not easy to find famous teachers.

However, this is not a difficult thing for Zhuang Yan, because his own fame is here, and it is an electromagnet in itself, which is enough to attract famous teachers.

Not to mention anything else, when the time comes, dig the corners of the wall, maybe you can dig Liang Qichao and Ma Yinchu over. If the school is located in Yanjing in the future, Wang Lijian and Yu Hai can also be asked to be visiting professors.

If it is located in Jinling...... Zhuang Yan looked at Duan Qirui in front of him, this old man knows how to play piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and he can also teach in the future. There is also Liu He, although the old man wanders around, he always returns to Jinling every once in a while, and he can also visit his school every now and then to visit the professor.

There is also Li Boyuan, the head of the Nanting Pavilion that Duan Qirui said just now, although he said that he does not accept invitations from other schools, maybe the ghost will make the gods agree to his invitation?

With such a few bigwigs in charge, his electromagnet is equivalent to enough electricity, and it can attract celebrities from all over the world.

……

Li Boyuan didn't come until just before dinner, and when Duan Qirui just said why Li Boyuan hadn't arrived, the doorbell rang at his house.

Zhuang Yan hurriedly followed Duan Qirui to get up and open the door for Li Boyuan, after the door opened, there was a little old man with a short figure standing outside the door, and the gray big cotton pants and big cotton jacket wrapped him tightly.

He was already short, and because he was dressed too much, he looked like a ball.

However, this old man looks like he can live for decades, and it doesn't look like he will die at any time.

After the door opened, the old man's eyes were a little surprised, and he took two steps forward and stared at Zhuang Yan up and down: "Well, you are Zhuang Ziyan, that's right, why are you here!"

Then he glanced at Duan Cherui again, and suddenly said: "This old man said that he has a personal relationship with you, and it is normal for you to come as a guest." ”

Zhuang Yan secretly rolled his eyes, how could anyone ask questions and answer questions, how should he answer?

Duan Qirui smiled beside him: "Don't stand at the door, if you have anything to say, you can talk about it later." ”
