Zuo Gong first took the letter, went from Beijing to Shanghai, and then turned back, and it was not possible to hear back in two or three weeks. Taking advantage of this time, Sun Yuanqi, together with Zhang Yuanji and Luo Zhenyu, carefully studied Zhan Tianyou's proposal to jointly build a railway transportation department, and found that there was nothing wrong. After the three of them roughly finalized the preliminary plan, Zhang Yuanji went to negotiate the specific details with Zhan Tianyou.

At the beginning of the year, Zhang Yuanji first persuaded Cai Yuanpei to participate in the construction and management of the affiliated school of Jingshi University, and successfully made Cai Daniu abandon the dark and turn to the light: and then participated in the price negotiation of Xu's chromium Jingzhu Shizhai collection, and successfully reached a price satisfactory to both parties. If one success is a fluke, then two successes in a row are inevitable. Therefore, it is not bothering the two masters, and this negotiation is none other than Zhang Yuanji.

It's the holidays, most of the students have gone home, Luo Zhenyu doesn't have much to do, and the construction of the school will be his for the time being.

As for Sun Yuanqi, in addition to compiling textbooks on a daily basis, he also had to guide students to write and revise the Northwest Investigation Report. Since I was ordered to go to the northwest, I always have to give Shangfeng an explanation when I come back, right?

In this way, after tossing around for a week, I took a few written reports, and went to the city to ask the old man how to hand these things over.

The old man is at home, but because of old age and frailty, and the hot weather, he has no energy. Seeing Sun Yuan get up, he reluctantly came out to greet him.

After listening to Sun Yuanqi's report, the old man nodded: "When you come back, you will naturally have to write an excerpt to cancel the leave: if there is something to be played, you can write another excerpt and hand those things as attachments and hand them over together." ”。

Sun Yuan nodded.

The old man told again: "Your words are ugly, remember to find someone to copy them, so as not to cause trouble." ”。

Sun Yuan saw that the old man was not energetic, so he didn't want to bother more. Just as he was about to say goodbye, the old man took a sip of strong tea to refresh himself, and then said, "You haven't been to the hospital since you became a bachelor, have you?" After the holiday, you remember to go to the last time after ten days and half a month, even if you drink tea and read a book, you can't go away. Also, you haven't visited Wang Zhongtang and Rong Shangshu for a long time, have you? Remember to visit your home in the next few days! ”。

Sun Yuanqi was a little confused: Who is the boss talking about?

The boss seemed to know that Sun Yuanqi was a novice, and then explained: "I set up the Hanlin Academy in the Qing Dynasty because of the Ming system. However, there are slight changes, that is, there are two bachelors in the college, one each in Manchu and Han. Although the bachelor of the academy does not do the work of the academy on weekdays, after all, he is the nominal prefect of the officials below the bachelor's degree1, can you not go to visit?

"Wang Zhongtang is a bachelor of the Chinese Academy, he has always advocated foreign affairs, and he also has some friendship with the old man, so he has no ill feelings towards you, so his mother is worried. It's just that Rong Shangshu, a bachelor of the full academy, is there, "I'm afraid there is some trouble." It is said that Rong Shangshu is also a steady and easy-going person, but when he was the minister of management the year before last, he and Zhang Fengqiu jointly managed the affairs of the Beijing Normal University Hall. He is cautious, and Zhang Xiuqiu, who is determined to forge ahead, inevitably has this roughness. And you happened to be working under Zhang Fengqiu at that time, I am afraid that you will inevitably suffer from the pond fish. You're going to see him, and I don't know what he's going to do to you.

Where did Sun Yuanqi think that there was such a thing? I said in my heart, if you don't want to see me, I'm too lazy to see you. immediately said: "Since this is the case, then don't go to see that Rong Shangshu!" ”。

"Dumb talk!". The old man immediately sat up straight on the Taishi chair, "He just wants to make things difficult for you, you have to go and see him!" ”。

"Yes, yes, yes!". Seeing that the old man was angry, Sun Yuanqi hurriedly agreed.

The old man leaned back in the chair: "Isn't Wang Xiangqi still in your school?" As for Ruzhou to deal with Rong Shangshu, you go and ask him, he is an expert. ”。 After speaking, he waved his hand slightly at Sun Yuanqi.

After Sun Yuan got up and retired, he rushed back to Jingshi University, first invited Chen Yan to his home, and asked him to draft an excerpt of the report on the cancellation of the leave and the performance of Chen's investigation.

This Chen Yannai was a famous poet in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China, and was raised in the middle of the eighth year of Guangxu at the age of 29. Therefore, this kind of recital is really effortless for him, and when he finishes it, he can write two flowery recitals in minutes.

Submit these two excerpts to the military aircraft department along with the inspection report, and the matter will be over. Immediately after that, he had to visit the bachelor of the college, since the old man felt that he was in trouble, he needed to ask Mr. Wang Qianyun for advice, and Sun Yuanqi was not careful.

On the one hand, let Lao Zheng prepare all the eight-color gifts, and on the other hand, he made a special trip to the mid-levels to pay homage to this famous Xiangqi old man.

The mountains are cool and pleasant, and it is indeed a few years younger than the old man.1 The old man Xiangqi was in a very cheerful spirit, and when he saw Sun Yuan getting up, he came out to open the door in person with a cane.

After the greetings, he found that Wang Qianyun was missing the inseparable Qi Baishi, and Sun Yuanqi was a little surprised: "Old Ren, why don't you see Brother Baishi?" ”。

Wang Gelding, the word Renqiu, and the word Ren's father, so the descendants of the same era usually call him "Wang Renlao...". For example, "Daheshan People's Words: "Seeing Chen Botao's head has Wang Ren reading is the word school word, changed it", the word is "and" Bo Tao is extremely poured, Yu Xiao said that this is the evidence that Xiangqi does not understand the character of the word, that is, in tone, but also dumb phoenix. ”。 Another example is the words of Huang Kan recorded in "Miscellaneous Memories of Shizaitang": "Wang Ren is good at hiding his strengths, like a boxing teacher, leaving the last hand." ”。 Therefore, Sun Yuanqi also learned to be called by others.

Hearing this, Wang Gelding said: "Baishi took advantage of the summer vacation to go to the hanging forest, saying that he wanted to see the mountains and rivers of the world. The old man was old, and although he was elegant, he had no such leg strength, so he had to climb the mountain nearby. ”。

Sun Yuanqi said: "Brother Baishi's painting skills are unparalleled for a while, and when he goes to hang in the forest, he has to splash ink." When he comes back, looking at his sketches, it can be regarded as a wandering on paper! ”。

Wang Gelding laughed: "Baishi usually likes to call himself the first in poetry, the second in printing, the third in words, and the fourth in painting. According to the old man's opinion, it should be the first painting, the second printing, the third word, and the fourth poem. Unexpectedly, Baixi actually has a relationship with the old man! ”。

After laughing again, Sun Yuanqi explained his intentions.

Wang Gangyun stroked his beard and groaned: "It's right to go to see Wang Zhongtang first, after all, he is a scholar, and no matter how Li Qing picks up, he can't say anything else." Moreover, this Wang Zhongtang is a person who is not rude to go to the "oil immersion batch nucleus" and "glass ball", so he will naturally not be embarrassed by you. ”。

Speaking of Wang Wenshao, many people don't know it now, but he was famous in the late Qing Dynasty. At that time, people praised him like this: "He has done everything that Li Hongzhang has done: what Li Hongzhang has not done, he has done." ”。 The key to being able to do this is that he is very tactful, he also speaks east when he says east at the top, and he also says west when he says west at the top. Whenever I see the Empress Dowager Cixi and her colleagues, it is nothing more than "". , "Look, see...". So I got the "oil leaching batch nucleus". , "Glass Ball". nicknames.

Everyone has eaten the batch, and they know that the nucleus inside is particularly slippery. This slippery batch has soaked the nuclei in oil, not to mention the oily ones! Glass ball, at the end of the Qing Dynasty, is also called "glass egg". , in fact, it is the glass marble we played with when we were children, and it is also a slippery thing. Use these two things to describe a person, and that person's sleekness can be imagined.

Sun Yuan nodded from the beginning, indicating that he understood.

Wang Gelyun then said: "It's just that this Rong Shangshu is in trouble!" ”。 (To be continued.)
