Chapter 253: Far and Near

The residence of Gu Weijun, the foreign minister of the Tieshi Hutong in Dongcheng, Beiping, is a three-entry courtyard, the house is the top of the clear water ridge of the hard mountain and tile, surrounded by a corridor, and the northwest is a garden.

It was originally the Chenggong Mansion of the Qing Dynasty, and now it has become the residence of important officials of the Beiyang government.

In this era, the Iron Lion Hutong was very famous, the center of political power in China, similar to the White House in the United States.

At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the Lian Mansion in Tieshi Hutong was changed to the Admiralty and the Ministry of War of the Qing government, and the Xinhai Revolution was successful, and Yuan Shikai was sworn in as the president of the Republic of China here, and now it has become the seat of Duan Qirui's ruling government.

This is the illustrious Iron Lion Alley.

Lin Zixuan and Miss Song Jiasan looked for it, and Song Ailing and Kong Xiangxi, who were in Tianjin at this time, had already arrived, and Song Ziwen, who came from Guangzhou, and the brothers and sisters of the Song family got together.

Song Ziwen didn't want to inform her sister that Shanghai had just suffered a military accident and was not safe, but she didn't expect her sister to come.

He nodded to Lin Zixuan, and now there is no need to express gratitude for the relationship between Lin Zixuan and the Song family, everything is in his heart.

This moment is especially important for the Song family.

Song Ziwen is already the president of the central bank of the Guangzhou government, holding the financial power, and with Song Qianling's relationship, the Song family has a special position in the Guangzhou National Government.

Sun Zhongshan's illness is related to the future of the Song family.

Lin Zixuan and Song Ziwen chatted about Sun Zhongshan's condition and the situation in Beiping, and did not let Song Ziwen arrange a place to live.

He went to the Beijing Hotel to book a room and stayed with the bodyguards.

These days, the news that Sun Zhongshan is critically ill has come out. There are many people who visit Sun Zhongshan every day, and the Song family brothers and sisters are especially busy. Lin Zixuan was reluctant to disturb them.

Moreover, he and the Song family are personal friends. It was a friend who didn't want to get close to the political group.

If he lives in Iron Lion Alley, it will make people misunderstand his position.

Lin Zixuan has always avoided being involved in politics, and although it is inevitable to participate in some political activities in this era, he wants to remain non-partisan.

He didn't go to Xu Zhimo either, from Xu Zhimo's letters, Lin Zixuan knew that this talented man knew Lu Xiaoman.

Xu Zhimo's love life has always been very rich, and he will not let himself be lonely, just like a son-in-law like Jia Baoyu.

Lin Zixuan was worried about the embarrassment after meeting. Moreover, this time he came abruptly, and he did not inform his friends in Beiping.

Moreover, Sun Zhongshan may not last long, and he is not in the mood to make friends and meet guests, he just wants to stay quietly for a few days, and then give this old man a ride.

Founded in 1900 by the French, Beijing Hotel is the premier high-end hotel in Beiping.

After a good day's rest, Lin Zixuan planned to take a look at his investment in Beiping.

For my cooperation with Naisha. He was distressed.

I am indeed very talented in running a newspaper, but I am a little stubborn.

This person's newspaper specifically scolded the Beiyang government, and when the direct warlord Cao Kun was in power, he scolded Cao Kun for bribing the president, and replaced him with Duan Qirui of the Anhui family. He began to scold Duan Qirui for misleading the country again.

As a result, newspapers are often raided, which is a big problem.

If it was in the concession in Shanghai, no matter how much you scolded the warlord government, it would be fine. can be scolded under the noses of the Beiyang warlords, isn't this looking for guilt?

Lin Zixuan has no good impression of the Beiyang government. I also feel that it should be scolded, but it is necessary to pay attention to ways and methods. This kind of scolding is not a long-term solution, and it will also be threatened by personal safety.

In February 1925, I founded the World Journal, following the World Evening News.

The newspaper's four pages carry various topics such as news editorials, economic education, and so on, and a separate "weekly" edition is set up, which publishes science, women's studies, Chinese studies, politics and law, literature and art, and children's content every day.

He had a place in the press in Peking and made a lot of money.

Even so, I was reluctant to rent a house outside the company, but squeezed into my own home to work.

Lin Zixuan discussed with him on this issue, if you want to make the newspaper bigger and stronger, you can't be too frugal, and large enterprises are not thrifty, but must continue to innovate and make profits.

I said that Lin Zixuan was too extravagant, and the stall was too big, and sooner or later there would be problems.

He sells magazines from Vientiane Bookstore in Beiping, which has more than a dozen magazines of various types.

These are two different business philosophies, and they are also related to the backgrounds of the two of them.

Lin Zixuan's family has a big business, and he is not afraid of temporary losses, he can supplement it from the film company, and if he loses money, he will close down, so he will be careful to operate.

At No. 35 Handkerchief Hutong, Lin Zixuan met with Chengshe me, Zhang Zhenshui and others.

In the evening, he invited everyone to have a meal in the restaurant, he is the majority shareholder of the newspaper, and he can be regarded as the boss.

In the cultural circles of Beiping, there is no impermeable wall, and as soon as he appeared, he was noticed and spread.

The next day, Xu Zhimo and others found the Beijing Hotel.

Although Lin Zixuan explained the reason, he was still gracious and had a party with them, all of whom were members of the Crescent Moon Society and the Modern Critics.

Modern Review was first published in December 1924 by Vientiane Book Company.

Lin Zixuan roughly flipped through their manuscripts, and there were all kinds of views, all sorts of views, mainly talking about Western systems and culture, advocating liberalism, and some high-minded arguments.

It's not boring to talk to these people, everyone talks about poetry and literature casually, uninhibited, casual and free.

In this gathering, there is also Ling Shuhua, a talented girl from Yenching University.

She was good at painting, so she proposed to paint a portrait of Lin Zixuan.

Lin Zixuan was quite surprised, but since it was someone's kindness, he couldn't refuse, maybe she wanted to show her painting talent, and she always wanted to give people a chance to play.

It was just a simple bust that was completed in about half an hour.

Lin Zixuan took it and looked at it, he didn't know how to paint, but he also thought it was a good painting, at least the face of this portrait was very handsome.

"Mr. Lin, I will draw a portrait for you, you should also give me something in return, I don't want anything else, just write me a poem." Ling Shuhua said slyly.

She knew that Lin Zixuan had given Lin Huiyin a poem when she was in the UK, and this poem became the signboard of the Crescent Society.

After reading it, she also felt very beautiful, and couldn't help but feel all kinds of envy and jealousy for Lin Huiyin, and when she met Lin Zixuan today, she thought that she also wanted a poem, and she must not lose to Lin Huiyin.

But it is too boring to ask for poetry rashly, and if it is rejected, it will become a laughing stock.

And exchanging paintings for poetry is an elegant and interesting matter, even if it is rejected, it can only be said that Lin Zixuan has no grace, she believes that in this case, no man will refuse.

Indeed, if Lin Zixuan refused, he would lose his reputation as a poet and a talent.

The literati present coaxed one after another, wanting to see what poems Lin Zixuan could write to give to this talented girl from Yenching University.

Lin Zixuan didn't know that he was caught in the battle between two women, but did he think we were so familiar?

He thought about it for a while, and thought of a hazy poem from later generations called "Far and Near".

"You, look at me for a while, look at the clouds for a while. I feel that when you look at me, you are far away, and when you look at the clouds, you are close. (To be continued.) )
