The occasion when He Majesty appeared was always so coincidental, which made Bai Yulan suspicious. Especially the words just now, which made Magnolia feel like a tabloid reporter, just to find out her story, although the reason is very high-sounding. Magnolia was not afraid of being rude, so she interrupted him directly and hurried to the hotel in front of the station.

Mrs. Ouyang followed Magnolia to the Songhe Wetland in the east of the city. There are a large number of red-crowned cranes living here, and now it is the breeding season, and countless red-crowned cranes fly among the clear water and shallow grass, and their chirping is bursting.

Madame Ouyang was fascinated by the sight in front of her, she pulled her shawl inward, leaned on the railing and stretched out her hand, as if to touch the bird's wings: "Magnolia, it's so beautiful! The place you chose is very good, and we will come back tomorrow, okay?"

Magnolia nodded: "Okay." It was originally a saline-alkali swamp, but after more than ten years of ecological environmental protection, it has finally become today's wetland. The ecology has been restored, and all kinds of birds have flown in spring. Red-crowned cranes have only started breeding here in recent years. ”

"'The top of the dansha knot is shining, and the cough and vomit are brilliant and mischievous. "Today, I finally realized Liu Bowen's description of cranes, which is not too much at all!"

The poems of the red-crowned crane Magnolia have also memorized some, such as "Feathers are like snow and flawless, Gu Ying dances white clouds in the autumn pool", "A crane in the clear sky is on the clouds, and the poetry is drawn to the blue sky", but she felt that Mrs. Ouyang was very talented and her literary attainments should be very deep, so she didn't dare to show off, but just nodded again and again.

The two of them had an authentic loach stewed Northeast tofu at the casserole house by the wetland, and Mrs. Ouyang scooped the tofu little by little with a spoon and ate happily.

"Are you a vegetarian?" asked Magnolia cautiously. Because she found that Mrs. Ouyang didn't eat chicken at the family banquet yesterday, and she didn't move the loaches today, she was just eating tofu.

"I didn't deliberately eat a vegetarian diet, I just had high blood lipids and tried to avoid it. After a long time, I am not interested in meat. But there is still meat in the dishes, so I also have meat in the dishes at home, although I don't eat much. I'm not even a pot side, hehe. ”

Bai Yulan was relieved, and gently pushed the plate of shredded meat mixed with cucumbers to Mrs. Ouyang's side.

After the meal, the two lingered on the crane viewing platform for a long time before returning satisfied.

After sending Mrs. Ouyang back to the hotel, Bai Yulan saw that it was already late, so she sent a text message to Teacher Wan, saying that she couldn't go over. I called home again and said that I would go back in a while, so I didn't have to worry about it. Then I went to the train station according to Mrs. Ouyang's instructions and bought a ticket to return to Shanghai two days later.

Bai Yuxue has been waiting for her at home for a long time, and when she saw her, she said happily: "Yulan, I was hired, I can go to work tomorrow, with food and accommodation, the conditions are good!"

Yulan's mother took it and said, "Oh, look at this child's happiness, see everyone is these words." What kind of job is this, you are a college student, and you go to the courier company every day to just answer the phone and manage the accounts, what a talent!"

Bai Yuxue tilted her head and said with a smile: "Aunt Bai, only by managing accounts can you understand the whole process, and you can learn a lot of things!"

"Good, good, good, you can learn a lot. Okay, Yulan is also back, you two hurry up and eat something, wash and sleep, you have to get up early tomorrow. ”

Bai Yuxue put her two fingers together, put them on her forehead, and said, "Obey!" and turned to Bai Yulan: "By the way, Yulan, how about going out with the old lady today?" I think Mrs. Ouyang is quite mysterious, really, her mind is incomprehensible. Maybe this kind of woman from a big family is different from ordinary people, I think she is very wise and powerful!"

Magnolia nodded: "Well, I also know literature very well." Today in the wetland, when I saw the red-crowned crane, it was a poem casually, very remote, and I thought about it for a long time before I remembered that there was such a sentence. ”

Bai Yuxue sighed: "You, three sentences do not leave the bank, only pay attention to this." ”

Magnolia smiled.

At night, the two of them were crammed into a bed, and Bai Yulan told Bai Yuxue what He Majesty said during the day and the matter of "I Xiangzhang", Bai Yuxue immediately became energetic, and quarreled again and again, saying that Bai Yulan should go to this date, go to see Teacher Wanfang, and find a way to know who this author is. She had read "A Life of Camphor Camphor" at Magnolia's house, and it was one of the few novels she liked to read, and she had a heated discussion with Magnolia, imagining who could write such a sensational work.

Bai Yulan was a little short of breath by Bai Yuxue, so she had to promise to go to Teacher Wan tomorrow to find out about the situation.

Magnolia was unexpected, and He Majesty expected that they met again at the gate of No. 1 Middle School in the morning.

"Miss Yulan, I know that you didn't go to Teacher Wan's house yesterday because you didn't have time. I'm waiting for you early in the morning, and I'm sure you'd be curious to know who the author of this book is, right?"

The words were all said by him, and Magnolia only nodded.

"Then why didn't you call Teacher Wan to ask, and came over yourself?"

Magnolia replied, "I...... I wanted to come and see the teacher. Besides, it's not good to call in case it disturbs her to prepare for class. ”

He Ma nodded approvingly: "Well, she is a careful girl." The author of that book is called Lu Minxing, a secretary of the protagonist of the story, and his job is to write memoirs and biographies for ministers. ”

Magnolia knew that the author of "I Camphor I" was the secretary of the protagonist of the book. She can imagine what kind of reverence the author wrote this work, and every day this legendary hero is by her side, every gesture is under her nose, no wonder the image of the character, the action description is not difficult, as if the protagonist Huang Ping is in front of him.

He Majesty continued: "According to Wanfang, the prototype of Huang Ping used to be named Jin Heping, and he has been using this name since liberation. He and his wife Yuxiu were both late Qing royalty. The author, Lu Minxing, later disappeared. ”

"Missing?

"Yesterday, Wan Lao said that at that time, because of my father's reasons, the book could not be published. He went to Lu Minxing and wanted to tell him the news, but he went to his house several times in a row, and the door was locked, so he couldn't see him. Wan Lao found Lu Minxing's unit again, and the unit said that because he was implicated by Minister Jin, he was detained for examination for half a year, and was also dismissed from all public posts by the unit. Later, Wan Lao found the street, reported the case to the Public Security Bureau, opened the door of his room, and found his suicide note, the reason for suicide was very vague, with the meaning of Nirvana rebirth, saying that he was looking for his camphor tree. Later, Wan Lao was also forced to transfer out of Beijing. At that time, no one knew where Lu Minxing's relatives were, so two months after the announcement, the property was returned to the street. After so many years, I heard that the neighborhood committee had already applied to the court to declare him dead. ”

After listening to He Ma's words, Magnolia couldn't help but sigh, such a subtle writing and bloody narration as "A Life of Camphor and Camphor" are the only ones she has seen in modern works, and the author died like this, it's a pity! I don't know why, Magnolia always feels that this novel is not just as simple as a secretary writing about his minister's memories, she feels that the author is writing with her life, as if she has poured all her heart and soul into it.

"Mr. He, is the relationship between the author and the protagonist of this book just a secretary and a leader?"

Regarding this, Wan Lao mentioned one thing yesterday, saying that Minister Jin has two daughters, and Lu Minxing is very infatuated with Minister Jin's eldest daughter, but it seems that there is no result, otherwise, Lu Minxing would not have thought of choosing to commit suicide. ”

Teacher Wan Hongxin saw Bai Yulan chatting with He Majesty at the gate, so she walked over: "Mr. He is early! Yulan, you are here again." I have already brought Lu Minxing's manuscript, and my father said that he did not plan to keep the original manuscript, and wanted to ask Mr. He to bring the original manuscript to Mr. He Yifei. I've made a copy and left it for him. ”

Wan Hongxin said as she took out a heavy document bag and handed it to He Majesty.

He Ma didn't answer, shook his head, and said, "Actually, I just need to look at the content." My father would not ask for this manuscript, if Wan Fang must hand over the manuscript to him, then his requirement is that Wan Lao must hand it in person, and he wants to meet Wan Lao. I'm afraid we'll have to make arrangements for whether my father will return to China or let your father go to the United States. These two old brothers have a good heart, and they are afraid that they will not be able to do it if they don't see each other, hehe. ”

Wan Hongxin said: "It's okay." I'll go back and talk to my dad about what to do. Dad asked me to apologize to you, I didn't believe you yesterday, I didn't give you the manuscript directly, and it wasn't until I talked to Mr. He on the phone at night that my father was relieved. ”

He Ma shook his head again and again, "Where, where! Wan Lao is cautious to keep this book so well." In this case, I will take the manuscript first and send it to you when the copy is ready. ”

Magnolia took the bag and said, "Leave it to me to make a copy." Make a copy and send it to Mr. Wan. ”

He Ma and Wan Hongxin said at the same time: "It's okay." ”

Wan Hongxin went to class, and Magnolia was also ready to say goodbye to He Majesty and go to copy materials. He Majesty offered to go to the copy shop with her. Magnolia had no choice but to take him to a digital store in front of the station.

At first, Magnolia took matters into her own hands, making copies and sorting out the paper, taking a look at the contents by the way. Slowly, she handed over the copying work to the little sister in the copy shop, and she checked the quantity while reading it quickly.

He Ma stood at the door and looked at her eyes as she quickly scanned the manuscript, and couldn't help but wonder, it seemed that this girl was playing with ten lines at a glance, and sure enough, when she came out of the digital store, Magnolia had been talking to him about the difference between the original manuscript and the published manuscript, and it was rare to see this girl so excited.

He Majesty didn't say a word, and patiently listened to what Magnolia said there. He doesn't remember the manuscript, but he remembers the published manuscript very well, because he once typed "The First World of Xiangzhang" into the computer word by word in order to practice Hanyu Pinyin. He could hear that Bai Yulan's familiarity with published manuscripts was no worse than his, and he could also count the manuscripts that he had just browsed, which could not help but surprise him: "Miss Yulan, do you always read books so fast?"
