Xu Shinian had to be impressed by the cleverness of this female student again, he leaned forward, his right hand opened his mouth, and supported his forehead: "What else can you guess?"

"Mr. did a good job in the Zhenjiang Liberal Arts and Science School, almost single-handedly supporting half of the country, and was personally selected by Mr. Ma Xiangbo, as one of the members of the compilation of foreign journalism-related textbooks, I heard that Mr. also has a part in the reading list of the English Department, right?"

Wanxian smiled: "Such a good business ability, if it can't be reused, I'm afraid that there is a suspicion that the people are not clear, presumably Mr. was also gearing up when he received the order, eager to try, but I didn't expect the Ministry of Education faction to run rampant, although it is called the Ministry of Education, but it actually has nothing to do with education, it is purely just an administrative agency, you have no high-ranking officials as a cover, and believers accompany you in the afternoon, even if you add Xie Cheng, two small staff, I am afraid that I can't even speak in the Ministry of Education." ”

"I came here with a lot of enthusiasm, intending to cultivate more talents for the country, but I didn't expect that all I could do every day after I arrived was to go to work," she shook her head and smiled, "It's a pity." ”

Xu Shinian was silent for a long time: "You are a young girl, but you have the talent of Wolong." ”

"Sir, if I can be compared with Wolong, I would already be in the phase. Wanxian said, "It's just because the second brother is in the agency, pushing himself and others, and he understands something." ”

Xu Shinian said: "China's universities are independent, and they are different from your brother's military school, except for the appointment of high-level personnel such as the president of the university, the Ministry of Education has no power to deal with relevant affairs within the university. ”

"Compared to administrative work, you still want to be on the three-foot podium and teach and educate people, right?" Wanxian sighed, "Or go back to the newspaper office, be the editor-in-chief, or be an ordinary reporter, these are the things you really want, right?"

Xu Shinian smiled at her, and his smile was bitter: "Ah Xian, who knows me, don't hide it from you, I already have the intention of resigning." ”

Xie Wanxian raised her eyebrows: "It's just because I haven't been admitted to Peking University yet, so I want to delay in the Ministry of Education for a while, after all, with this relationship, whether you help me borrow books or inquire about the recording list, it's much more convenient, right?"

Xu Shinian was not prepared for her to suddenly say such a thing, which was unexpected, but reasonable. He didn't dare to look up at Xie Wanxian's face, let alone make eye contact with her, so he could only continue to prop his head on the tiger's mouth and say, "I am your teacher, I can help you as much as I can." ”

Xie Wanxian said: "Sir, don't worry, Fengyue needs your affection and my willingness to become a good story, since you don't want to, then I won't force you." It's just that Mr. has no need to hide from me everywhere, and since I know you, why not be a friend with you who has nothing to do with Fengyue or gender?"

Xu Shinian looked up at her, tracing her elegant eyebrows and calm expression, and said for a long time: "Since you have been admitted, then I am ready to resign and go to Shanghai to apply to be a reporter." ”

Xie Wanxian was stunned, a wave of anger suddenly came from her heart, she didn't rush to speak, she took a deep breath first, and kept the smile on her face unchanged: "Is it also because of me?"

Before Xu Shinian could speak, Wanxian interrupted him: "You don't have to answer, I can guess what you have to say." ”

Xu Shinian became curious: "Oh? do you guess what I'm going to say?"

"You already have a friendship with the president of the declaration, and he warmly invited you, and this happens to be the job you want to do, plus I was admitted again, you have nothing to worry about in Beijing, so I gladly agreed. Wanxian said, "Just wait in Beijing to do the work handover, and then set off to the south." ”

Xu Shinian was dumbfounded: "You"

"I've guessed it all, haven't I?" Wanxian said, "You go." ”

Xu Shinian paused: "Ah Xian, you"

"Let's go," Xie Wanxian repeated again, and took the lead in getting up and leaving the study, she walked to the door, suddenly turned around, and looked at him with a smile, "Don't worry about the road ahead, who in the world doesn't know you?" Mr. Xu, it's easy to make friends, it's hard to make friends, I don't have anything to bless you, so I wish you" Her smile suddenly turned cold, "For the rest of your life, I won't know the second Xie Wanxian, so I can pay the price for your eyes." ”

Xu Shinian stood up suddenly: "I've always thought so. ”

He also seemed to be aroused by Xie Wanxian, and took two steps towards her: "When I was in Aurora Public School, you skipped class and came to me, I already knew at that time, for the rest of my life, I will not meet the second Xie Wanxian, I don't say anything good for you, let you down, Xu Shinian is a selfish and narrow-minded person, I can't give up my reputation as a filial son and a virtuous man, I left the capital, only for my own good, I don't want to see you again in this life." ”

Xie Wanxian was stunned, her mind was sharp, and as soon as she reacted, she heard the friendship hidden in his heart from Xu Shinian's excited words. She still held the carved lattice on the door in her hand, sighed softly, and her anger turned into nothing, and sighed softly: "Why are you suffering?"

There is nothing wrong with them meeting each other, there is nothing wrong with knowing each other, even if they are in love, it is only the time that is wrong, and they met at the wrong time, so even the subsequent series of reactions are wrong.

Xu Shinian also calmed down, and immediately regretted his words, he bowed to Xie Wanxian and waved his hand, and his voice was silent: "Farewell." ”

He passed by Wanxian and pushed the door out, his movements frozen, as if every step was difficult. Wanxian knew what he meant, he wanted to prolong the goodbye as much as possible, after all, if he said goodbye today, he would probably never see each other again in this life.

"Sir," Xie Wanxian called him softly, "In addition to Fengyue, we still have thousands of things to talk about, what do you mean now is that you don't want to talk to me about these thousands of things?"

"Thousands of things, there are thousands of people to talk about," Xu Shinian stood with her back and sighed, "There are hidden dragons and crouching tigers in Peking University, there will be people who can talk better than me, and speculate with you, I won't delay you." ”

"In that case, let's give back a book to my husband at the end," Wanxian said, going to the bookshelf and fetching a book, which she had copied from some old newspapers and magazines herself, and bound and arranged by herself. She took the book to Xu Shinian and said, "The content of it is that I was very interested in it after I came into contact with it by chance at Peking University, so I deliberately collected some relevant information, sorted out and transcribed it, this is the only one in the world, if I want to give it away for nothing, I will not give it away, please Mr. After reading it, you must remember to return it to me." ”

Xu Shinian lowered his eyes and looked at the name on the book cover, and asked suspiciously: "Karl Mackas Anthology?"

"You're going to be as interested as you are to Rousseau." ”

Xu Shinian didn't want to have anything to do with Wanxian, but when he heard her say this, he really couldn't suppress his curiosity, he took the book, and immediately turned the first page, and saw that she wrote on it: In the twenty-fifth year of Guangxu in the Qing Dynasty, in 1899 in the Gregorian calendar, the monthly bulletin of the National Gazette on the main board of the Literature Society published three chapters on the theory of social evolution written by the British evolutionist Jiede, mentioning the German Karl McCasz and his theory of capital for the first time.

"Mr. Sun Wen published the socialist faction and its criticism in the first year of the Republic of China, talking about this man and his theory," Wanxian said, "If you don't believe me, you must always believe Mr. Sun." ”

Xu Shinian turned another page and hesitated: "I can find it myself." ”

Wanxian glanced at him: "A manly man, can you be generous? A person who used to do great things to change the dynasty and change the dynasty, how can he be restrained by the affairs of men and women?"

Xu Shinian smiled bitterly: "No, it's because I'm about to leave, I'm afraid I won't be able to finish watching it." ”

"Then wait for you to return me next time you go to Beijing," Wanxian looked at him and smiled meaningfully, "I think this day should not be far off." ”

Xu Shinian finished his work in the Department of Higher Education of the Ministry of Education in September, and arrived at the declaration headquarters in the south, leaving with a full stomach, full of sorrow for his unpaid ambition and for some other feelings that he did not want to think about. Xie Cheng went to Beijing Railway Station to see him off, and did not support or oppose his decision, but said: "I rashly invited Mr. here without being able to find a good job here, which is really a waste of Mr.'s precious time, and I am really ashamed." ”

Xu Shinian was polite to him: "From what I said, it really makes me embarrassed." In the past six months, it is not a waste of time, but there are still a lot of things that I have learned. ”

Xie Cheng said: "It's good that Mr. doesn't blame me." ”

Xu Shinian nodded, pondered for a moment, and said, "As for the seven thousand taels of silver owed to the Xie family, after I go south, I will still remit my salary to you on a monthly basis, you must remember to check." ”

Xie Cheng's expression darkened: "This is the second thing I can't do with Mr. ”

Xu Shinian patted him on the shoulder: "We're sorry for the Xie family together, it's useless to talk more, let's pay back the money first." ”

There was a long queue at the ticket gate, and the staff held a loudspeaker to notify that the ticket inspection was about to begin, Xu Shinian turned his head and glanced at it, with a hesitant look on his face, and after thinking for a moment, he still said: "The third lady is still taking care of you in Beijing." ”

Xie Cheng said with a smile: "Third Miss is lucky, she hired you as a tutor for two years, and you have to worry about her for the rest of your life." ”

Xu Shinian said: "She and I have a life-saving grace. ”

Xie Cheng nodded: "I remember, don't worry, from now on, the matter of the third lady is my own business." ”

He took a step back and bowed to him: "Save it, take care." ”

Xu Shinian went south with regrets, but what he never expected was that less than two days after he arrived at the newspaper office, when he began to prepare to enter the work, the position assigned to him by the newspaper turned out to be a reporter in Beijing.

Xu Shinian almost instantly remembered the last time he met Wanxian, and when she said goodbye, she said meaningfully, "I think this day should not be far away."

Only then did he realize the profound meaning of this sentence: he used to work for a staff member of a central department, and although his rank was neither high nor low, at least he had accumulated some contacts, and who could be more suitable than him to be a reporter stationed in Beijing? If he wants to get some inside information about the political situation in Beijing, no one can break into the political situation more easily than him.

Xu Shinian bought a ticket to return to Beijing, looked down at the ticket gate of Shanghai Railway Station, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
