Subtitle of this chapter: In a dream, you should know that you are a guest, so you might as well get drunk together.

It suddenly occurred to me that Lao Kang's book "Bang Qing" in the previous chapter can be called "Rebirth of the Qing Dynasty as a National Teacher", if there is really this book, it must be very important to listen to it.

"Smack! Syllable! Syllable! ”

Our Master Yuan, accompanied by two lawyers and a large group of reporters, returned to the Rosewood Hotel, but they did not enter the room, but went directly to the big ballroom downstairs, which doubles as a bar.

Louis Baker: They chartered this big bar yesterday as a venue for a press conference, but now they all know that someone above wants Yuan Yanqian to keep a low profile, so this press conference has become a buffet buffet.

When Master Yuan walked into the dinner, everyone stood up and applauded warmly together to welcome and congratulate.

He hurriedly took off his hat and bowed to the crowd. Miss Lillian-Gish and Miss Ainyuka stepped forward generously and stood on tiptoe to kiss him on the left and right cheeks. Then the two big beauties pulled Yuan Yanqian to the small stage one left and one right in the cheers of everyone.

At this time, a pyramid of wine glasses was built on the stage, and several fine champagnes were placed next to it.

Yuan Yanqian understood it at a glance, and picked up a bottle of champagne and shook it vigorously without being prompted by others......

"Tom!"

“Music！”

As he opened the champagne, the small band on stage began to play light jazz music.

After officially opening the dinner, Master Yuan, as the host, naturally greeted the guests with a wine glass.

He saw his dueling assistant at a glance, walked over and said, "Brother Qingzhi, why is your brother here alone?" ”

Major Cao smiled awkwardly and said, "Brother Hongji, the two ministers of Gu Shi are a little dismissive of you and me, so they ......"

"Oh......" Yuan Yanqian nodded, and said with an apologetic expression, "This is a brother, mine is not, this kind of drama is indeed indismissive in diplomacy." ”

He groaned for a moment and said, "It's also involved my brother, I'm uneasy." Another day, I will go to the legation to plead guilty, and tell the two ministers that it is all my fault......"

"No, no, no......" Cao Linsheng waved his hand and said, "Brother Hongji, it's no wonder you!" Speaking of this duel, you have lost my Chinese ambition and destroyed the prestige of the British, what is the crime? ”

"It's an honor for the younger brother to serve Brother Hongji, as for the embassy...... he sighed, "Brother Hongjian doesn't have to worry about me, the younger brother originally planned to return to China this year." ”

This benevolent brother is really a little frustrated with the diplomacy of the Republic of China just like that timeline, so he plans to return to Seris to "save the country through education", "save the country by military" and "save the country by industry".

How to say it, although this Major Cao Linsheng is not famous in history, the dignified West Point military academy graduate finally went to Macao to work as a duke. In terms of the historical background of the scarcity of high-level talents in the Republic of China, this is really a pity.

Our Master Yuan's heart moved, didn't he lack military talents? Instead of letting him go to Tsinghua University to teach physical education and make Zhang Dashuai a high counselor, it is better to drag him to Nanyang to toss it.

He believes that everyone has the most suitable position, and this old man is not good at being a senior staff officer in China, and he may not be suitable for being a military adviser or even a front-line commander in Nanyang.

However, it is too early to say this, and the Nanyang side has to go over and see it with their own eyes, because even the travel of later generations can rarely explain the situation in the Nanyang in the 1920s, and it is necessary to conduct a field investigation.

Moreover, at this moment, this Major Cao must have a pride in serving the country in his heart, and he may also have some expectations for the Beiyang government, or wait for him to return to China and suffer a little is the right time to win over.

Thinking of this, Yuan Yanqian didn't open his mouth to persuade him, but said with a smile: "Now that Fang is in troubled times, a military expert like Brother Qingzhi can indeed only show his strengths when he returns to China." Then the little brother wishes you a long journey. ”

He raised his glass and said, "CHEERS." ”

Cao Linsheng gently touched the cup with him and said, "CHEERS." ”

At this moment, a pair of eye-catching golden boys and girls walked over, and the tall man who was as handsome as Master Yuan had said with a smile: "Neo, congratulations." ”

Yuan Yanqian turned her head and asked, "Francis, why are you here?" ”

Mr. Fitzgerald said happily: "As soon as I saw the news of your duel in the newspaper, I took the train to watch your duel, and I was thinking of coming back to you in the evening." But you're arrested, hahaha......"

"Allow me to introduce me." He pointed to the beautiful lady beside him and said, "This is my wife, Zelda Serre Fitzgerald. ”

Mrs. Fitzgerald, who could be regarded as a "disaster water" by the standards of the time, raised her hand and said with a smile: "Mr. Yuan, it's a pleasure to meet you. Francis would call you the most talented man alive. ”

"Nice to meet you, beautiful lady." Master Yuan politely gave a kiss on the hand and said, "Your husband is a dishonest man. He didn't tell the truth, I was just one of the most talented people in the family, and he was two. ”

"Hahaha......"

Everyone laughed when they heard this.

Yuan Yanqian also looked at the young and beautiful couple with a smile, but sighed in her heart.

Fitzgerald's was really like a prophecy of his fate. All the protagonists in his book are in their prime, and they are ambitious young people who have great achievements, but as the plot develops, these young people's passionate personal struggles fail to achieve the success and wealth of their dreams, and they are all tricked by fate, often after experiencing the impact of cruel and false reality, they completely lose themselves, and finally go to the road of destruction step by step.

And the couple in front of them should be a microcosm of the two decades from the twenties to World War II in the United States.

At this moment, our Master Yuan suddenly felt a wave of jealousy. Why did the golden age of America have such writers who reflected the changes of the times, but we did not have writers who could write "The Great Gatsby" in the golden age of Cyris?!

By the way, we have best-selling authors and blockbuster film directors with disabilities.

By the way, by the way, we have a doctor of film and television from Peking University who wrote, directed, and acted by himself, and also wrote the theme song by himself. (note 1)

By the way, by the way, by the way, we also have the professor of the Department of Chinese at Peking University who is "a network writer greater than Jin Yong". (note 2)

Maybe...... It's just that maybe the era I have passed through is more absurd than the era I live in.

"Neo? Neo! ”

"Ah......" Yuan Yanqian came back to her senses and asked embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, I'm distracted." Where are you talking? ”

………………

Note 1: If you don't know, please ask Baidu "The Age of Innocence: Dream Showbiz", especially the theme song of the same name, to ensure that there will be surprises.

Note 2: Since I have been researching online literature, some scholars have been asking me whether there will be a master writer like Jin Yong in online literature. I always answer, "Yes, and there already is." Even, in my evaluation, he surpassed Jin Yong. ”

——Excerpt from Shao Yanjun, Professor of the Department of Chinese at Peking University, "A Writer's Theory of Chinese Internet Literature Master Writers: A "Scholar Fan"

Please note that Jin Yong's work Murong has long been out of powder. I'm not complaining about the three successful people including the "master web writers", but I'm just complaining about the era we live in. Remember, remember.

Of course, some people must say that I am acting out of jealousy...... To be honest, it's a bit of a thing.
