Chapter 145: Let's Call It a Hammer and Sickle
The first update
Hugo was about to leave for England and, after a brief pause in London, finally settled in Jersey. Before leaving, Hugo left his address with Gautier, hoping that in the future Gautier would be able to send him poems or serials written by Garion, and he was very curious about Gautier's "1984" and wanted to know what the level of the talented man was in the eyes of everyone.
And Gautier gladly acceded to his old friend's request.
Garian didn't know what was happening in Brussels, but he also felt the horror of the harmonious power of the censorship department, and the script for "Game of Death" was quickly written, but this time it did not cause a sensation in Paris, and no opera house was willing to accept it.
The reasons for their refusal are almost identical. begged Garion to raise his noble hand and let him go, and he didn't want his family's opera house to go out of business.
Although Garion has the protection of the Bonaparte royal family behind him, but at this sensitive moment, anyone has the attitude that more is better than less, obviously Napoleon III has been very angry, he hates the guy who incites public opinion against the government behind his back, and at the same time, many red-eyed colleagues also took advantage of this crackdown incident to lead the rhythm, deliberately reported the articles of other literati to the press censorship department, resulting in a frenzy of book sealing, after getting the sickle to swing through, there are scattered tragic scenes everywhere.
Garion even wrote an article criticizing this outrageous behavior, and likened the whistleblower to "a castrated caster physically and psychologically, extremely twisted and pathological." And I wish them a family explosion and ashes scattered. ”
He scolded freely and rudely, and he specifically aimed at the jealous bastards of his peers, and this time he didn't even have elegant sarcasm, and directly mocked these damn bastards.
Although some people are unhappy with this article, no one dares to go back. Scolding means that you are weak-hearted, plus Galian is still a guest of Bonaparte's royal family, no one dares to provoke him without opening his eyes, and if he dares to provoke his literati, the article may never appear in any newspaper office in Paris.
Eventually, Garion left the manuscript unused in the corner of his home and left it dusty.
"Knock, knock, knock"
A knock on the door interrupted Garion's thoughts, and he got up from the couch and walked to the door, only to open the door to find a strange man standing in front of him, carrying a briefcase in his left hand.
Garion hesitated, "Are you?" ”
He took two steps back slightly, and looked at the middle-aged man in front of him vigilantly, there were many people in Paris who wanted his life these days, such as the readers who urged the change, such as the crazy Catholic, and a group of peers who looked at him unpleasantly and wanted to slap him.
"Dear Mr. Galion."
The Mediterranean man was very polite, he bowed slightly, and said, "I am Florent, the representative sent by the school, and I think there are a few questions that I need to ask for your opinion on the fifty thousand francs you have donated." ”
"Then come in."
Garion opened the door, and Florent walked into Garion's apartment. Instead of sitting down, he pulled a document out of his bag and handed it to Garion.
"Time is limited, so I'll cut it short."
"The first primary school for children was officially completed and was converted from an old convent. The 70,000 francs you donated were used to build the library and buy books, and now the university wants to name the library after you. ”
Garion was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that there would be such an operation, and he would have the opportunity to name a library.
He didn't think about it, and said, "Let's call it a hammer sickle." ”
"Huh?"
The man named Florent was unexpected, he was stunned for a moment, thinking that he had heard it wrong, and hurriedly asked again, "Called...... Hammer sickle? ”
"Well, it's called a hammer sickle."
Garion said excitedly, "Since the library is named after me, how about taking it a step further and donating another 10,000 francs to set up a sign in front of the library?" ”
No way, rich is uncle, Gallian as one of the donors, Floran couldn't say no, he asked cautiously, "So Mr. Galian, what kind of logo do you want to get?" ”
"You wait."
Garian walked over to the table, pulled out a blank piece of paper, then picked up his pen and thought for a moment, drawing an image of a sickle and hammer crossed, and added a large red star behind them.
He handed the sign to the other party and said bluntly, "Put this sign at the entrance of the library!" ”
Florent picked up the manuscript paper, and when he looked left and right, he couldn't see the meaning of this pattern, and he asked in a low voice, "Excuse me, what is the significance of this sickle hammer and the symbol of the red star?" ”
"Oh, my friend."
Garian patted him on the shoulder, a mysterious smile on the corner of his mouth, and he said slowly, "Maybe this sign is not important now, but one day in the future the people will find his meaning and become a beacon for the next generation of France." ”
He pointed to the logo on the pattern and said to Lord Florent, "All right, Lord Florent, that's all I have to ask for now, go back and talk to the school administrator." If they don't want to, they won't be able to receive my donations in the future. ”
Garion put on an arrogant and domineering attitude, and after giving a piece of candy, he naturally had to give the other party a stick, so that they realized that he would not take half a step back on some matter of principle.
"Alright, Lord Garrian, I'll report what you said to the school administration. They should agree to your request. ”
Garion opened the door for Florent, smiling, "They will definitely agree to this request, after all, I am the master." ”
The subtext of this sentence is, "I'm sorry, you can really do whatever you want if you have money, and if you don't get convinced, I'll withdraw all donations and let your school drink the northwest wind." ”
Florent was just a little talker, and after listening to Garion's request, he got up and left the house.
After sending Florent away, Garian was in a good mood, and he was even eager to write the next one.
However, a knock on the door interrupted a hint of inspiration that had barely come to his mind, and Gallian stood up angrily, walked to the door, and asked angrily, "Who is it?" ”
"It's me, Lord Garion."
A deep voice outside the door spoke, "I'm Leon Gambida, and I have something to look for you." ”
Hearing the name, Garian hurriedly opened the door, and he only saw a man with a gloomy face standing in front of him, as if something important had happened.
Gary suddenly chuckled and hurriedly pulled him through the door. After walking through the door, Leon Gambida began to pull out a stack of documents from his briefcase and place them on the table.
"What's going on?"
"I've got an eyebrow about what you told me earlier."
This republican defender is simply like a crow of death, always bringing unfortunate news.
Garion's face changed slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "You mean ......"
"Yes."
Leon Gambida's face glowed red, and the chill outside did not extinguish his enthusiasm, and he said impassionedly, "It's about Hugo's friend!" ”
