Finale
After all, it's time to finish.
οΏ₯οΏ₯οΏ₯οΏ₯οΏ₯οΏ₯οΏ₯οΏ₯οΏ₯οΏ₯οΏ₯οΏ₯
Lazy?
"Senior sister, I agree with what you say."
Lu Yun picked up the teacup and said with a smile: "My father is indeed the master who can lie down and never sit, and can sit and never stand." β
Liang Sishun couldn't help but sneer,
"Okay, good~ You can see it."
She groaned for a moment,
"This year's Nobel Prize, it's Master's turn, right?"
Lu Yun said: "Actually, it was already my turn. There are two main objections within the Nobel Committee, one is that the Nobel Prize in Literature and the Prize in Chemistry are different after all, and the same person has won the prize twice, which seems to have withered in the global literary world. β
Generations of talented people come out,
Because of the stimulation of the two world wars, countless wonderful works have sprung up.
There are reflections, there are sadness, and there are passions......
But
"The teacher is proud of the literary world."
Liang Sishun said sincerely: "It is true that there are not a few talented people, but in terms of quality and quantity, teachers are the undisputed first. β
Lu Yun spread his hands,
"Then I have to mention the second reason. As you said, he is a lazy man, unwilling to go to the scene to receive the award, and he is afraid of the long journey and trouble. β
Liang Sishun: "......"
I was speechless.
After a long time, she sighed,
"yes, the teacher doesn't care much about these nicknames now."
For a long time, Lu Shi was controversial,
Some say he's a speculator,
For example, the success of the "Mirror" was due to the fact that the first edition wrote Queen Victoria's obituary,
A Chinese, kneeling and licking the Queen of England,
Isn't this speculation?
Some people say that he sells his reputation,
When Wilde died, he wrote poems lamenting;
When Zola died, he traveled to France to attend a funeral and give a eulogy;
β¦β¦
These people have nothing to do with Lu Shi,
How pitiful is it to be rubbed off on the heat even when you die?
More and more people are questioning Lu Shi.
However, he was also lazy in this regard, and he didn't even bother to explain.
Finally someone can't stand it,
The first was to rename the Manchester Guardian and develop it into a global newspaper, and Scott, the great editor who stepped up and spoke out when he retired: "Lu and Wilde don't know each other, but they've been friends for a long time. β
Of course, this kind of talk cannot suppress rumors.
So, in a fit of rage, Scott joined forces with The Scotsman to donate to the Lu Museum, publishing a letter written by Wilde to Lu Shi before his death.
Those who say that Lu Shi rubs the flow of traffic instantly became clowns.
As for the problem that many people questioned the speculation of land time, the solution was even more simple and rude.
In the second year after the end of the war, the Palace Museum suddenly exhibited the restored "Female Historian".
Of course, it can't be the original,
It is a copy of the Tang Dynasty in the possession of Emperor Qianlong,
But the preciousness goes without saying.
On the stand of the exhibits, eight small characters are ironed with gilt technology:
ββ
Land Time Gift
The work is in the future
ββ
You must know that the other words on the stand that introduce the "Female History Proverbs" are all ordinary machine-typed italics in black letters.
Only those eight words, made gilding process,
More importantly, it is not a machine fight, but a great man's question.
Eight words,
The words are concise and to the point, but they are slapped in the face.
After that, the Palace Museum made the list public,
Only then did people discover that there were more than 100 pieces of cultural relics donated by Lu Shi, and there were 12 priceless treasures like "The Female History of Zhentu".
The sheer number of them is staggering.
Due to the Lu Shi, more overseas Chinese have joined the donation team.
Even the General Association of Overseas Chinese has been involved, and the more than 30 donations that have been taken out are strange.
Among them, there are also the original works of Lu Shi!
But somehow, in the later list, that calligraphy work was taken out,
It is rumored that after Lu Shi got the news, he went to New York overnight, knelt in front of Situ Meitang's house for three days and three nights, and begged An Liangtang not to donate his calligraphy works.
Of course, legends are just legends, not true.
There are more and more things like this,
Everyone suddenly realized that Lu Shi may be a speculator,
But if he didn't speculate, how could he gain a foothold in such times? How can so much cultural property be preserved for the country?
Speculation is but a faΓ§ade of forbearance.
Those who said that Lu Shi was a speculator also became clowns.
It's a pity that there is always darkness in the human heart,
When people find that it is dark here, they will start from there,
Rumors and denigration are constant.
Liang Sishun said: "I think the teacher should more or less stand up and explain. You can't be a lazy person when it comes to protecting your reputation. β
Lu Yun smiled,
"Father doesn't mind. He used to tell me, 'It's a good thing that people like to overthrow authority now.'" At least, it's better than at the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China. ββ
"Tsk......"
Liang Sishun was slightly stunned,
I didn't know how to complain about my teacher for a while.
She shook her head and diverted the topic: "Then, this year's Nobel Prize in Literature, the teacher will accept it?" β
Lu Yun waved his hand,
"He's not going."
Liang Sishun couldn't help laughing,
"That's to refuse~"
With the current authority of the Enoch Prize, there is no reason why it would be awarded to a person who does not receive the prize on the spot.
β¦β¦
Stockholm, Sweden.
Swedish Academy.
In the quiet conference room, more than a dozen academicians sat around a table.
Someone proposed: "Now that the list has been drawn up, why don't we send it out?" β
But the atmosphere at the scene was a little depressing,
No one answered.
More than a dozen academicians all looked at the permanent secretary -
Carl David Ave Wilson.
For decades, he has been sitting firmly in that position, and has become the spiritual totem of the Swedish Academy.
Everyone was waiting for him to make a decision.
The senile Wilson looked left and right, his eyes lowered again, locked on the list.
The conference room was quiet again,
ββ¦β¦β
ββ¦β¦β
ββ¦β¦β
No one said a word.
Just when everyone mistakenly thought that Wilson was asleep, he suddenly said, "I noticed that there is a name missing from it. In the world literary world, ignoring that name is equivalent to erasing the development of literature after the 20th century. β
Who he's talking about, everybody knows,
LuοΌ
That great writer.
The problem is that
"I confirmed."
Someone said, "What the London side means is that Lu won't be there to claim the prize." β
The rest of the people followed and persuaded: "Old Karl, the Nobel Prize has the dignity of the Nobel Prize." It is true that it is most appropriate to award it to Lu, but if he does not come to receive the award on the spot, it will embarrass the organizing committee. β
"Embarrassed?"
Wilson laughed,
"Your understanding of the word is too shallow."
He looked around and sighed in his heart,
The old guys are gone.
Now these successors, who have not experienced the two Nobel Prizes in 1901 and 1902, do not know anything about the real "embarrassment".
At that time, Lu was in his prime, and he almost broke up the Nobel Prize.
Wilson looked at the back of his hand again, wrinkled badly, like the hand of a dried corpse that had been drained of water,
Sigh in my heart,
This year's Nobel Prize may be my last.
He said, "Add Lu's name." β
"This ......"
Everyone at the scene looked at each other.
They all know very well that adding Lu means that other people will inevitably run along,
Therefore, when the initial list is sent to the universities, you can skip the intermediate link and go directly to the awards dinner at the end of the year.
There was a lot of discussion in the conference room,
It didn't take long for the academicians to begin to express their opinions,
"I don't approve of it."
"The list is set, there is no need to add anyone."
"Indeed, this is not appropriate."
β¦β¦
Five academicians disagreed.
Others, on the other hand, did not express their agreement or opposition to Wilson,
Obviously, there are many people who have a wait-and-see attitude.
Wilson said: "It doesn't matter if you approve of it or not. According to the process, the initial list could have been made without the unanimous approval of all seats. β
It's clear that he is pretending to be confused.
Lu will not come to the scene to receive the award, this is known to everyone,
And let him enter the preliminary screening list, and his award will become a sure thing.
In this way, where will the face of the Nocs be placed?
Someone said, "Old Karl, it's a matter of face." We can't take a hot face and stick a cold butt. β
Wilson sneered,
Face?
The Nobel Prize is in Lu, and there is no face!
Even if there were, it was trampled by him as early as the beginning of the 20th century.
Wilson said: "Lu was not present to receive the first Pulitzer-Land Hour Prize. β
The crowd sighed,
Can the Pulitzer-Land Prize compare with the Nobel Prize?
Besides, looking at the name of this award, what does it matter if Lu is not there?
Anyway, this award is set up by him.
But everyone also realized that it was no fun to persuade Wilson in this way.
Someone changed the strategy,
"It's not appropriate for a literary prize to be given to the same person, right?"
Wilson shook his head,
"We should ignore the influence of external factors. Objectively, doesn't Lu deserve the Nobel Prize? β
Everyone exchanges their eyes,
Indeed, if you speak by his works, Lu has at least three Nobel Prizes.
But this kind of thing......
"I'm quitting."
Suddenly, an academician stood up.
Among the others, there were a few academicians who were clearly opposed to Lu and were also ready to move.
Wilson chuckled,
"You're quitting the Swedish Academy?"
In an instant, the scene fell silent.
You must know that the seats in the Faculty of Arts are for life, and as long as the people above do not pass away, there is absolutely no possibility of supplementation.
But Wilson's intention now is clearly to create an exit mechanism!
The man stared at Wilson,
The two looked at each other,
Finally, he sat down slowly and asked, "Old Karl, why did you get to this point?" β
Wilson said: "Some people win awards, which will lower the gold content of the Nobel Prize in Literature; And for some people, it is the literary award that rubs off on the popularity of others, and it is the literary award that needs him, not that he needs the literary award. β
The meaning of his words is very clear,
Lu is the second type of person.
The academicians present were silent, and no one raised any objections after all.
Wilson smiled: "You young people have grown up through two world wars, and you are not as open-minded as an old man like me. β
As he spoke, his gaze became distant,
"Thinking back to the first Literary Prize, at that time, the relationship between Northern Europe and Russia was very poor, you don't know. However, we still managed to give the award to Toon. β
The power of the god meow is overwhelming,
Wasn't Lu the one who took the lead in making trouble back then?
Everyone looked at Wilson, envious of how the other party's skin grew so thick.
But Wilson's words were right,
Looking back now, the first Nobel Prize in Literature was indeed awarded to Toon, and it gave the Nobel Committee its prestige.
Someone said, "Hopefully, the decision we make now will have the same good results as you did when you tried to award the award to Toon." β
Wilson smiled,
"Don't worry. You can't go wrong with giving the prize to Lu. β
He waved his hand,
"Alright, let's adjourn. You send the list to the universities, and by the way, take a telegram to Lu. β
"Yes!"
The academicians left the conference room.
β¦β¦
London, United Kingdom.
Lu's official residence.
"I ...... I won! β
Phyllis suddenly shouted, "I've counted! I've saved enough travel performance! This round, I'll be able to win the culture victory! Hahahahaha! β
She had dark circles under her eyes and seemed to have not slept well.
Opposite her, Margarita was in a similar state,
Dark circles, chicken nest head......
Both women are a bit raunchy.
There's really no way, the board game "Civilization" will be played for several days.
Every night, the participants in the game go back to their rooms to sleep, but they can't sleep at all, lying in their minds and repeatedly deducing the next rounds.
In this case, it's strange that there are no dark circles.
Margarita leaned over,
"I'll see."
With that, she began to count Phyllis's Cultural Victory points.
After a while,
"No, I don't understand."
This is the second bad thing about Civilization,
Calculating victories is a hassle, and even the game's designer, Lu Shi, has to scratch his head when faced with a particularly complex situation.
No way, in the previous life, Civilization was a video game, and there was no need to manually calculate the victory.
Therefore, Lu Shi strictly controlled the number of people, and only four people could participate.
Margarita can only cast summoning:
"Husband!"
Lu Shi was dozing off in the sofa, but when he heard the call, he immediately ran over,
"What's wrong?"
Margarita laughed, "Look, Phyllis said she won, but I don't understand. β
Lu Shi sat down by the map, took the draft paper and counted the points.
At this moment, the voice of the maid came from outside,
"Your Highness, there is a telegram from Stockholm."
Phyllis asked, "Do you want me to avoid it?" β
Margarita waved her hand,
"No, you don't."
Strange to say, all kinds of rumors and gossip about Lu Shi are rife in the outside world, but they never break up about him and Phyllis.
Maybe it's because everyone has already acquiesced......
After all, it is well known that a national treasure actress like Phyllis has never been married all her life.
Margarita went out and got the telegram.
After coming back, she hugged Lu Shi, who was lying on the map from behind, and whispered: "Husband, you are really amazing~ This year's Nobel Prize winner in literature is you again~"
Headache when landing,
"Huh? I'm not going to Stockholm to claim the award, it's too cold. And ......"
He lowered his voice,
"Those people don't know what's going on, and they always want me to play the villain in "Stealing Fire". Am I that much like a learning valve? β
As soon as this statement came out,
"Poof!" Γ2
Phyllis and Margarita both laughed,
Lu Shi is not a learning valve, who is?
Margarita said: "People respect the old and love the young. Because you are an old man, they spoke, and you can not go to the scene to receive the award. β
In fact, among those academicians of the Swedish Academy of Letters, only two are younger than Lu Shi.
It's just that judging from the time of fame, Lu Shi is indeed an ancient god.
He laughed,
"Okay, well, I'm an old man in the literary world, and they are newcomers in the literary world."
As he spoke, he teased again: "Rita, according to this, you are also an old man in the "Civilization" world, why can't you even understand victory points?" β
Margarita: (Λβ½ Μ~) Cut~~
She glanced at Lu Shi with disdain,
"You just say that Phyllis didn't win, right?"
"Nope."
Lu Shi said: "It's still early~ The conditions for cultural victory are very harsh. β
Phyllis was dissatisfied,
"Hey, hey, hey! You two, you don't have to let it go~"
Margarita pushed Lu Shi away,
"How is that possible? If you have the ability, let's have another plate! β
Phyllis snorted,
"Come on!"
