The Lantern Festival is celebrated in a relaxed atmosphere, and unlike last year, the vast majority of people spend these two days in their dormitories, sleeping in, or chatting with everyone in the conference rooms and restaurants.

People who have tasted the taste of fatigue usually do not take outdoor sports such as going out for fun, picnic camping, hiking, hiking, hunting, etc.

For the vast majority of people in the Red Mansion, now they can lie down and never sit, sit and never stand, eat, drink, sleep and sleep until they wake up naturally, and then get together to chat and laugh, because this is the most comfortable rest.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, there are two places in the Red House that are crowded with people: one is the conference room on the fifth floor, and the other is the restaurant.

The ladies usually meet in the restaurant, which is relatively quiet and has something to eat and drink from time to time. However, when gathering there, Sun Lao and the people who help the kitchen often ask for temporary help, such as taking some ingredients, picking a few baskets of vegetables from the vegetable garden, plucking a few green onions, and so on.

However, the ladies are not as tired as the boys, so these small jobs are nothing.

So on ordinary rest days, men usually gather in the conference room on the fifth floor, and many people will come to the conference room to drink tea and chat for a while after waking up, or to wander around the library shelves.

Of course, there are also a few people who come to the conference room to squat on the ground and admire the gold piled up in the corner, touch it, and even pick up a gold brick and put it in their mouths to bite it, and live a net worth of hundreds of millions of dollars.

And because there are often no women and children here, the content of the conversation between the brothers is usually not taboo, so the conference room is indeed a good place for most people to relax and entertain, there are always a lot of people here, very lively and fun.

Of course, in addition to the ladies, there are also people who don't come here to join in the fun, such as the two groups of people from the Fire Pond Club and the Vegetable Garden Club, who still stick to their respective places - a fire pit by the bamboo forest and a bamboo pergola in the vegetable garden.

However, because today is the Lantern Festival, both the Fire Pond Club and the Vegetable Garden Club are gathered in the conference room on the fifth floor, because everyone is going to listen to Dr. Zhu talk about the past and the present.

Listening to Dr. Zhu talk about the anecdotes of this era, and in response to everyone's questions, ask Dr. Zhu to make a professional evaluation of the people and things of this era, it is already the largest number of participants after Gu Jin and Li Sanduo took navigation theory classes, and teachers gave cultural classes to high school students---- obviously this is still spontaneous.

Probably because the long-awaited operation to the sea is coming soon, and seeing that the day of "truly entering the new world" is getting closer and closer, almost all the young people in the Red Mansion have become history buffs.

No matter how you look at this period of history, whether you are a Ming fan or a Qing fan, an emperor or a stick, a fine, or a miscellaneous, in the face of this Ming and Qing Dynasty communication, which is quite famous in history, you will soon have the opportunity to see, experience and live in it, which is more or less exciting, curious, and even produces some kind of psychological inexplicable expectation.

And for people with a little bit of a sense of history, this turbulent stage of history is so appealing, so they will have a strong interest in the world they are about to come into contact with, and they will inspire a certain kind of ambition to try and participate in or influence the course of its history.

Therefore, more and more people go to the computer library to check the information after work, and the usual topics are more and more related to the current historical events and historical figures.

Of course, interest is interest, but everyone's starting point is very different, such as the people of the Huotang Club, they generally have a certain sense of historical salvation, their life ideals in addition to the drunken beauty kneeling to hold the power of the world, there are also including the anti-Qing Dynasty and the restoration of the Ming Dynasty, the revitalization of China, the domination of the world, and galloping all over the world, expanding the territory and other ambitions.

They often discuss various "deductions", "plans" and "action plans", and give various names to various action plans, according to club activists Zhou Rui and Yue Chu, the Huotang Club is discussing a mysterious plan called "Operation Generator", the content of which is currently kept secret from the outside world......

However, like the group of people in the Vegetable Garden Club, who regard the words "eating men and women" as the supreme "people in the red dust", now they are also like the people in the Huotang Club, and they have gone to the computer data room to check the information, but obviously their ideas are completely different from the people in the Huotang Club, and their main purpose is to enrich their various strange and unpopular knowledge, hoping that after they go out, they can pretend to be forced to slap their faces and hook up with girls to expand the harem in the new world.

But no matter how different the three views of the two groups of people are, these two groups of people can always find common topics here in Zhu Beiguo.

The reason is that everyone believes that Brother Zhu is not only professional and proficient, with a unique vision, but also has a kind attitude, and is also good at listening to the ideas of others.

Not only that, but Brother Zhu can also talk to you very well about your concept - I don't know who said that a qualified historian should only have calm and objective observation and judgment, without emotion and personal position, and everyone thinks that Brother Zhu seems to be doing a good job in this regard.

As a result, Dr. Zhu was a popular person everywhere he went, especially among the young people, and it was said that his prestige was second only to that of Captain Gu.

However, it is precisely because of this that the people on both sides of the Fire Pond Club and the Vegetable Garden Club often break out into heated arguments in front of Zhu Beiguo, and sometimes they will be angry because of excessive language - of course, it is only temporary, and it will usually be reconciled within half an hour after the quarrel, because everyone will suddenly feel a little embarrassed, after all, they don't see each other when they look down, they are all grasshoppers on the same line, how much hatred and resentment can there be?

Then the brothers will shake hands and make peace, apologize to each other, and then laugh and laugh and play, and it will be a turning page.

However, the next time when they encounter differences, they will still fight for each other, and finally there will be a reconciliation drama, which everyone is used to.

Obviously, these arguments are not without their benefit, because the debates and discussions on both sides can sometimes be very in-depth and really enlightening.

According to the records in Zhu Beiguo's diary and the later recollections of the people concerned, some controversial issues had a great impact on the foreign policy of the country that was established later, of course, this was quite a later matter, and during this period, these controversies were just controversies.

So, what started as a small gathering of Dr. Zhu to chat about history with his friends after dinner gradually evolved into a large-scale academic symposium on history and strategy with Dr. Zhu as a lecture, questions and in-depth discussions, and it became more and more formal over time.
