readx; For fear of disturbing the old man's lunch break, Tian Wenjian was stunned and walked around for nearly an hour, and then walked into the Langrun Garden, where the teacher's teacher, Mr. Fucheng, lived. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

In front of the building, there is a row of old poplars, and the leaves are all off. A few dry plants were bleak in the cold wind. Walking into the corridor, the entrance is even more dilapidated, it seems that no one has come to repair it for a long time, the stairs are peeling off in several places, and the cold wind blows in from the broken part of the door, and the chill hits people. Thinking of the old gentleman's classmates and teenagers, who is still alive who is not BMW Xiangche, Huawu Meishe? The cold and lonely in front of him made Tian Wenjian have mixed feelings.

knocked on the door, and an aunt in her forties greeted her and greeted Tian Wenjian enthusiastically.

The room was not large, but it was full of books, and in front of the bookshelf was an old desk, which could be seen from the mottled paint that it had faithfully accompanied the husband through the vicissitudes of time. The old desk, with a chaise longue, looked even more cramped.

This scene reminded Tian Wenjian of a Persian king who once visited John Russell, the two-time British Prime Minister, at the Pembrok Cottage, and Mr. Russell apologized to the king for the crampedness of the house, and the king said: "The house is indeed not big, but there is a big man living in it." The old gentleman can be in this square inch of land to be familiar with Chinese and foreign philosophers, what is there to say?

There is a painting hanging on the door of the study, which was made by Wen Tianxiang in the Yuan Soldier Prison: Kong said Chengren, Meng said to take righteousness. Only its righteousness is exhausted, so benevolence, reading the books of sages, what do you learn. Now and then, Shu is almost worthy of it. Look at the dragon flying and the phoenix dancing to the money, it turned out to be the old gentleman's handwriting.

"Come, sit, sit."

As he was watching, the old gentleman came out of the room and greeted him with a pleasant face. Facing this silver-haired, round-jawed, cheerful and serene old man of the century, Tian Wenjian really didn't know how to speak. After all, after so many years abroad, teachers and professors are called by their names, and the relationship between teachers and students is not as serious as in China. What's more, his disciple is in name only, and Professor Wen Bo has not really taught anything except for opening a book list.

Seeing that Tian Wenjian was a little restrained, the old gentleman sat down first, and while greeting him to tea, he said with a smile in Mandarin with a little Sichuan accent: "Wen Bo will mention you every time he calls, and he seems to be a little dissatisfied between the words, and he always thinks that you are not doing your job." It's ridiculous to think about it now, he has read dead books all his life, and he doesn't let students apply what they have learned, what kind of truth is this? ”

Tian Wenjian reacted, and hurriedly bowed deeply, with a sincere and frightened expression, and said embarrassedly: "Wenjian is too impetuous, and he is not the material to calm down and do learning. ”

It's really frank enough, you must know that Wen Bo has already mentioned that the doctor who specializes in ethics in front of him has not even read "Kant's Aesthetic Philosophy", let alone systematically studied his other works. You must know that he is recognized as the first person in Chinese ethics and the earliest academic master in China to study Kant's thought.

I thought that the old gentleman would take the school examination like Wen Bo when he first returned to China, but he didn't expect the old gentleman to change his words, and said with a smile: "The professional books of the Institute of Philosophy of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences are second to none in China, especially with foreign exchange for book purchases, you can buy many foreign books and periodicals every year, and you can keep abreast of the new progress of foreign philosophical research." Don't be discouraged, young man, for that alone you should celebrate. ”

It seems that Professor Wen has said a lot, and even shakes out the fact that he was treated coldly. Tian Wenjian sighed secretly and smiled casually: "You are always right, it is worth celebrating." After all, in comparison, foreign professional books and periodicals are too expensive. Although the library also has purchases, there are more wolves and less meat, so they can't take their turns. ”

"There are a lot of books in Beitu, if you can't borrow them, I'll borrow them for you, just remember to return them on time." When it came to reading, the old gentleman suddenly came to his senses. From time to time, I glanced at his stacked bookshelves, and my joy was palpable.

Dr. Tian is not a nerd and does not want to be one. As the old gentleman just said, he learns things with a bit of utilitarianism, and pays attention to applying what he has learned. As for the chickens or eggs, which may not be able to be understood in a lifetime, Dr. Tian Da does not bother to study.

Today's visit is just a ceremonial surname, not an academic "recognition of ancestors and return to the ancestors". After all, his current identity is too sensitive, so many people are staring at him, and he must not make any more extraneous branches. Because of this, Dr. Tian Da came empty-handed and did not prepare any gifts.

Seeing that the old gentleman was serious, Tian Wenjian hurriedly shook his head and smiled: "Wenjian started late, his foundation is thin, and it is not easy to read the books of the Institute of Philosophy in two years, how dare you waste food because of choking." ”

The old gentleman is full of peach and plums all over the world, and he randomly pulls out a person who is either a doctoral supervisor or a master's supervisor. Tian Wenjian believes that people like him who don't give face will definitely be the first. To his surprise, the old gentleman was not angry, but sighed with emotion: "Now there are not only some students, but also some teachers, all of whom have fame, fortune, and power in their minds. With power, there is fame and advantage. When some people have the power, they are promoted to professors and doctoral supervisors, and they have hundreds of thousands or millions of research fees.

Some people don't even know how to write an article, so they get a topic and find a few students to write it. After writing, each student takes a little money, and most of the rest goes into their own pockets. When the book was published, he used his power to sign his name. As the author of the book, he has saved worry, effort, fame, and profit, and deceived many readers who don't know the truth.

In today's society, there is really no good way to deal with these people, and ordinary people dare not go against this trend, and if they do, they will have nothing to eat. It's not easy for you to come back and get to where you are now. Wen Bo read you right, I'm very pleased. ”

is sure to be an admonition, and at the same time, he acquiesced in Tian Wenjian's behavior of deliberately keeping a distance from him. This made Tian Wenjian very moved, and nodded again and again: "People are valuable in self-knowledge, Wenjian is a teacher, he is not so knowledgeable, so naturally he does not dare to write books and speak." ”

"That can't be overkill, they are all Changjiang scholars, and they don't even want to take graduate students. In fact, if you organize the content you teach to undergraduates, it is a good introductory course to philosophy. Wouldn't it be better for more people to have the opportunity to learn than if you only had three classes? ”

In Dr. Tianda's view, writing books and standing up is a matter of passing the time after retirement. Seeing that the old gentleman attached so much importance to this, he couldn't help but say: "Sir, it's not that Wen Jian didn't think about this, but the first class after entering Harvard made Wen Jian deeply touched." Therefore, in the next fifteen years, Wenjian will not be easy to write. ”

The old gentleman was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help asking, "What was the content of the first class?" Introduction to Philosophy? ”

"It's not about the content, it's about the teacher who teaches it."

Tian Wenjian showed an expression of admiration, and said with emotion: "Although I have only been in college for one year, I have never seen an associate professor in class from the beginning of the semester to the vacation. And the teacher who gave me my first class at Harvard was not just a professor, he was also a Nobel laureate. What am I teaching to undergraduates in comparison? ”

Only then did the old gentleman understand, and nodded again and again: "Compared with it, even I, an old bone who has taught all my life, am ashamed of it." ”

This small detail allowed the two to find a common language, and the relationship suddenly became warm. Tian Wenjian didn't want to talk too deeply about academic matters, and he didn't dare to talk too deeply, so he simply diverted the topic and asked about the old gentleman when he was young.

A smile can dispel eternal sorrows, and a lot of laughter and friends are like-minded; Chang Xiao removes illness and increases longevity, and laughs for a long time and has endless happiness in his life - just like this old style poem written by the old gentleman, he is very cheerful, answers all questions, and comes up with two witty words from time to time.

When I was young, several classmates ran three special issues in Chengdu newspapers, criticizing specific events in the school and society. After a long time, the school was forced by the pressure of the Kuomintang authorities to talk to him and others. Zhang Lan, who was the president of Chengdu University at the time, also gave him and Wang Yichang a demerit; When I was at Tsinghua University, I often went to listen to Mr. Wu Mi's English classes with Qiao Ghua. The famous Chen Yinke is even more funny in the old man's description. said that Chen Yinke's class was not organized, and he did not form a lecture script, he always held a book clip in his hand, which contained some notes, which were written down when he was reading, and did not form an article at all. Often when the wind blows, the strips are blown away, and he has to lie on the ground to help find everywhere, thinking that Chen Yinke is not good at teaching, and even Dr. Tian is not as good as ...... One is an anecdote that has been sealed for decades, and Tian Wenjian listened to it with relish. Before you know it, an afternoon has passed. Seeing that he insisted on leaving, and refused to stay for dinner, the old gentleman finally told him to read more of Shakespeare's books when he had time.

This reminded Tian Wenjian of what Wen Bo said before: "Mr. loves Shakespeare and regards him as a close friend, and even always feels that 'he is a relative, a loving mother, he does not blame us for our mistakes like my father, but forgives our shortcomings like a mother, and I have to ask you kindly for being afraid of being uncomfortable'." ”

Perhaps, in Wen Bo's view, when the old gentleman was facing a low point in his life and wanted to go abroad, Shakespeare's personality soothed his depressed soul.

But Tian Wenjian didn't see it that way, but thought that the reason why the old gentleman admired Shakespeare so much should be that he thought Shakespeare was a "real commoner" from the bottom of his heart. Although he was praised by the queen and got acquainted with many nobles, he was not affected by it and was able to surpass it alone. Not deceived by the pretentious life of the world, he can still sit alone in the farmhouse and look out over the wilderness.

It wasn't until he left that Tian Wenjian noticed the big words on the top of the bookshelf: "Yin Jian is not far away, and if you do too much injustice, you will kill yourself", and even marked the date: "June 4 of the second year"!

After so many years abroad, it's hard to think about it. But at that time, he was still young, and he lived in the most remote mountain village in Province J, as for what happened? Is that really what the exiles say? Tian Wenjian has always been vague. Seeing this painting today, and thinking of the time and date of the old man's "retirement", Tian Wenjian was very uncomfortable, and even a little sad.

Walking out of Langrun Garden, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon. Just as he was about to reach out to stop the taxi, his mobile phone suddenly rang. The caller ID is Cortana's number, but the voice is a little unfamiliar. Tian Wenjian was stunned for a while before he reacted, and it turned out to be the voice of the old political commissar Wang Ronghai.

"The evening is arranged in Quanjude, and I have already set it. This will be your sister-in-law and I will be at your house, set off immediately, you should also hurry, don't make us wait too long. ”

The old commissar is still like that, as soon as he opens his mouth, it is like a machine gun, and he does not give you a chance to interject at all. Tian Wenjian nodded, and while stopping the taxi, he asked with a wry smile: "Political commissar, there is more than one Quanjude in the capital, right?" There are so many branches, don't you make it clear how I can find them? ”

"If you don't ask, I really forgot, the one in Shichahai is in the sports school, and the taxi driver knows it."

It is said that the capital is the largest parking lot in Asia, and it was hard to stop a taxi, and it was blocked here and there, and it was dark when I arrived at the hotel, so that I was complained by Director Han and Yaya.

The general's pedigree is big, and even the box picks the most luxurious one. Before Tian Wenjian had time to appreciate this retro-style furnishings, Political Commissar Wang, who was dressed in civilian clothes, stood up and laughed: "Long sweat meets Ganlin, meets old acquaintances in other places, flowers and candles in the cave room, and the title of the gold list." Oda ...... The four joys of life are considered to be two today, and tomorrow is just a rest, and we have to get drunk tonight. ”

Tian Wenjian was happy, looked back at the slim girl, and couldn't help but smile and asked: "Political commissar, it is a joy to meet in a foreign country, and what is a joy?" It can't be that Gege is going to get married, right? ”

Without waiting for Wang Ronghai to speak, Yaya said impatiently: "Uncle Tian, you are a professor in the university, why are you still so bad?" ”

"I hope she gets married, so that she doesn't have to be an old man at home." Han Jingyun sat down and said with a smile: "Lao Wang said that another joy is the title of the gold list. Xiao Tian, you are now a Changjiang Scholar of the Ministry of Education, what is the title of the gold list? ”

Wang Ronghai nodded heavily, and while motioning for Yaya to open the drink, he smiled heartily: "A Changjiang scholar and a Zijiang scholar are not selected by anyone. As far as I know, there are few Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, and you kid is just a blockbuster. ”

"Uncle Tian, isn't the bonus very generous? Let's hear it, I won't knock you off. ”

Seeing everyone staring at him, Dr. Tian had to smile bitterly and said: "Changjiang Scholars are honors, and distinguished professors are the treatment." Now that I have been dismissed by Jiang University, this treatment is naturally not available. Besides, I didn't apply for a scientific research project, and I didn't even have oil and water, so how could I get any bonus? ”

"You kid, you're still crying poor."

Political Commissar Wang stood up, poured wine into his cup, and said with a smile: "Put aside the treatment and don't treat it, anyway, your kid doesn't lack that little money." Although he was fired, I don't think it's a bad thing. ”

"What do you mean?" Tian Wenjian raised his head and couldn't help asking.

"Don't pretend to be confused with me, isn't it just a pot of cold rice and a cold stove."

Stir-fried a pot of cold rice refers to the fact that he made the AIDS epidemic in Longjiang five years ago boil. As for the cold stove...... Of course, it refers to Qiao Wei, deputy director of the Central Office. Dr. Tian Da couldn't hear the meaning of his words, and shook his head again and again: "Fried cold rice is real, but burning a cold stove is a bit far-fetched." People are hot now, and we are the icing on the cake, which has nothing to do with sending charcoal in the snow. ”

"From which angle did you look at the score?"

Wang Ronghai raised his glass and said meaningfully: "It may be really nothing to you and your friends, but it is another thing for them. It's not clear who borrowed whom's momentum, but all in all, everyone was happy. ”

Xiao Na seemed to hear something, and couldn't help but say: "Xi doesn't have his share, now the books are not allowed to teach, if it weren't for a bit of an old book, maybe even the child's milk powder money would not have been paid." ”

Sister Han was happy, and immediately said with a smile: "Xiao Na, as far as I know, your real estate in Jiangcheng alone is worth millions, so don't cry with us here." ”

"The house can't be eaten, and it's not okay to sit and eat like this."

After she became pregnant, Cortana's mind took a 180-degree turn, always wanting to leave something for her child in the future. I even regret coming back so soon, after all, the child was born in the United States and is a citizen of the United States, and the conditions in all aspects are much better than those in China.

Seeing Xiao Na pursed her lips, Political Commissar Wang suddenly smiled and said, "I don't know about others, but I still know about Xiao Tian." It's not that he's bad at making money, but he's disdainful of it. I think of what you said, what is the name of a philosopher? In order to prove that he could make money, he put down his books and started a business for half a year, and he really made a lot of money. ”

Tian Wenjian nodded heavily, and confirmed seriously: "It's called Thales, in order to prove to people that philosophers can make money if they want to, he expects a good olive harvest in the coming year, and renting the oil press in the whole city in advance does make him a lot of money, but his fun is not here." ”

"I'll just say, people's pursuits are different, and besides, you are so young and have such a high degree of education, why are you not popular? Come...... Move the chopsticks, the dish is ordered by Yaya, and I don't know if it suits your taste. ”

After a long absence, the guests and hosts enjoyed a meal. Although Wang Ronghai would swear that he would get drunk and rest, in fact he didn't drink much. An active-duty soldier and a retired soldier didn't even finish a bottle of Wuliangye.

After dinner, the two families did not go back immediately, but walked along Shichahai one after the other. The female dependents were in the front, and Wang Ronghai and Tian Wenjian were talking in a low voice in the back.

“…… The old predecessors of Fucheng have a close relationship with Liu Binyan, Wang Ruowang and others, and it is said that they also signed a joint letter from Beidao to the central government. You should have heard of it, right? He is the proud protégé of the old-timers, everything is decided, and the old gentleman completely ignores political avoidance, and begs people everywhere to help him find a job. ”

Political Commissar Wang's implication was the same as his brother-in-law's warning yesterday, that he was worried that he would "go astray."

Willing to act as a pawn of rightists and wear the coat of [***] Wang Ruowang, Tian Wenjian does not know very well, only knows that he is a writer. [***] is the same, I only know that he is the editor-in-chief of "B Jing Spring".

The name Liu Byan is much more familiar, and he has even read his novel "Between Ladyboys". If he had not behaved out of the ordinary today, Liu Byan might still be the "conscience of China" that he had just published in the "People's Daily", and he would certainly not have been labeled as a "representative of bourgeois liberalization" as he is now.

Born at the wrong time! When lamenting the fate of that generation of intellectuals, Tian Wenjian felt worthless for them. After all, your arms can't twist your thighs, so why should you fight with people without power? But one thing is clear, the old-timer is very sensitive, and it is dangerous to get too close to him.

Tian Wenjian was silent for a long time, and Wang Ronghai continued: "Actually, I don't say that you also understand in your heart, you are different from them or even me and Qiao Wei, in the eyes of academics, you are a politician with a conscience, and in the eyes of politicians, you are a 'restless' scholar. ”

It's the first time Tian Wenjian has heard of this statement, but it's really interesting when he thinks about it. Seeing that Wang Ronghai had defined himself, Tian Wenjian couldn't help but smile and asked, "Political commissar, according to what you say, I really have nothing to do in my life?" ”

To his surprise, Political Commissar Wang actually smiled: "On the contrary, it's just that the time has not come." It is said that when the water is clear, there are no fish, but in fact, the water is too turbid and there are no fish. The above are not fools, when they go to their level, can they not understand this truth?

This is the same as Political Commissar Liu and Colonel Dai of our Air Force, how ugly and ugly their words are, the head of the Central Military Commission has a headache when he sees them. But such people still have to be raised and reused. After all, when it comes to the real fight, they are still needed, and even rely on them. ”

In fact, Qiao Wei also said this, Tian Wen Jianle was happy, and then asked: "Then how long do you think I have to sharpen this knife?" ”

Political Commissar Wang pondered for a moment, and suddenly smiled: "The third leader should be able to serve two terms, and when he beats the drum and spreads the flowers, I think it will be the time for your kid to show his ambitions." ”

Tian Wenjian really didn't expect it to be so far, and he couldn't believe that Qiao Wei would be able to pick up this flower one day, so he shook his head and smiled: "Political commissar, I haven't seen you for a few years, you are about to become a political observer." ”

"Nonsense, what is a commissar? A political commissar is a political commissar, first political, then a commissar. ”

After Wang Ronghai paused, he continued: "People can't look good, and the sea can't fight. Compared with An Xiaobin and Hu Baoguo, Qiao Wei is indeed not a tide file in the real sense. But that's also his biggest strength, Gen Hongmiao doesn't talk about it, and he hasn't done that messy thing like everyone else, which is extremely rare in [***].

In addition, don't underestimate Mrs. Qiao, although she is not of high rank, she has worked as a nursery worker in Yan'an. The relationship between the top and bottom is gone, or can the third leader treat Qiao Wei so differently? ”

This meticulous analysis made Tian Wenjian's admiration for the five bodies, and he couldn't help but sigh: "Political commissar, you really stand tall and see far!" ”

Wang Ronghai turned his head, stared at his eyes, and said with a smile: "Aren't you still accumulating, waiting for a blockbuster?" ”

"Big political commissar, let me pass the current level first, I can't see as far as you."

"So we'll see?"

Dr. Tian shrugged his shoulders and said with a wry smile, "Is there a better option?" ”

Wang Ronghai looked back around, and after seeing that there was no one, he suddenly leaned into his ear and said mysteriously: "Deputy Chief of Staff Wang asked me to bring you a message, asking you to leave the messy things of the Academy of Social Sciences and treat the part-time job of the party school as a full-time job." He also said that newcomers should have a new atmosphere, although they threw off their arms and tossed hard. ”

The newcomer certainly does not refer to Tian Wenjian, but to the new leadership group that has just taken office, and this new atmosphere is to rectify the rule of officials. Tian Wenjian was confused, and asked with a puzzled expression: "Political commissar, I'm a small part-time professor, maybe I'll just put on a name, and I don't even have the qualifications to give lectures on stage, didn't Deputy Chief of Staff Wang let me shoot myself in the foot?" ”

"He naturally has a reason for saying this, could it be that he can still harm you?" Political Commissar Wang patted him on the arm, and then said: "The words are brought, as for whether to do it or not, how to do it, you have your own ideas." ”
