Lisko's American life
Chapter 68-Swan Castle
Liske got up early to prepare, and wore a formal suit properly. The mentor Berman was a staid British descent who would get up early every day after he got older.
Berman is still working as an academician of Yale University's Department of Literature, and he will give lectures to freshmen from time to time. His status in the United States is very high. The students he brings out are standing in various American literature positions, such as well-known newspapers and publishing houses. , And the president of the American Literature Association, it can be said that the strength of Lisko’s department is the highest in American literature.
Lisko called the hotel car and hurried out of New York City. Berman bought a manor here and settled with his wife Mary.
This time I stayed in Hilton at the hotel. Speaking of Hilton, the two sisters are the most famous. Their self-hype method also indirectly improved the reputation of the family hotel. This approach is exactly the same as that of Wang Moumou, the richest man in the country. The Daishan sisters and the Olsen sisters in the film and television industry are also masters in this way.
The car quickly arrived at the manor, which was built like the Adair Manor in Erlan, and was called "Swan Castle" by Berman's wife Mary.
This manor has a great reputation in American literature. All of Lisko’s seniors spent the entire study time here before they left the teacher. They will not move out until they find a job or have better development. At present, all well-known Americans Writers, 70% have come here to participate in gatherings, so among the many unprosperous writer groups, this is really a literary mecca.
Liske looked at the undulating castle and the several sprinkled gardens in front of him with emotion. In his memory, he lived here for three years during his studies, and his mentor Berman would not respond to students. What do you think of his family? Whether poor or rich, he treats each other unanimously. Every day, many brothers and sisters spend breakfast here, go to the huge library collected by the tutor to read books, discuss literature, and have a poetry salon in the evening. Drink freely. At this time, the instructor will look at them slutty and wanton while holding the wine glass, and the teacher's wife, Mary, will bring her freshly made cookies to them, and tidy up the wine glasses that they have knocked over.
"It's so beautiful."
Lisko Miller narrowed his eyes, sorted his clothes, and walked into the manor.
"Hey, Kenny." The black Kenny was the painter of Swan Castle, and his ancestors did this too.
"Master Sco?" Kenny put down the scissors in his hand in surprise, came up to hug Li Sike, and lived here for three years. Everyone here is very familiar with Li Sike.
There is no obvious hierarchy in the mentor’s manor. Even painters, cooks, butlers, and doormen can greet them casually. This is also the humanity and thinking that Berman has always advocated.
"Did this kid Jeben ran to play? Why didn't he inform in advance?" Kenny complained first, and then took Lisko to the manor.
Jeben is the guard of the castle. In fact, it is a guard. It is just a random position. Because the New York Police Department has built a guard pavilion 100 meters away from the manor. There is a police officer stationed in it all the year round, so is there any The guards are all the same.
"Hey, Boll, see who is here?" Kenny walked into the castle hall and shouted at the old white-bearded man in a staid gown.
"Hey, Master Sko," Ball stepped forward and hugged.
Ball is the steward of the castle, and his main responsibility is to arrange the work and procurement of all the staff of the castle.
"You haven't been here for a long time, and Mrs. Mary often talks about you." Boll looked at Lisko standing upright with emotion. He remembered that Lisko was a very silent child when he was in school and he didn't grow tall. Now he is slow. Slowly so handsome and extraordinary.
"I will come to see you when I pass by New York this time." Lisko knew that he was wrong, and quickly changed the subject.
"By the way, where's the mentor? I didn't say anything in advance this time. I came over directly after reading the company."
"Jazz has gone to school. There is a speech from him today, but the time is almost back. Madam is making desserts in the kitchen." Pol told the truth according to Berman's journey.
Li Sike looked around, everything was the same as when he left, as if he had just left yesterday and returned the next day.
Lisko bid farewell to Boll and confessed that he was living here today. Boll was excited to clean up Lisko's house.
Liske is the youngest disciple of Berman, so he has always been favored. Both his mentor and all the seniors and sisters have treated him exceptionally. Since Li Si became a teacher, this huge castle has quieted down. I don’t want to work too hard, so I’m not recruiting disciples. My daily task is to give lectures from time to time. This is because all the brothers are worried that the tutors who are idle for a while will feel boring. There are special vehicles to pick up and drop off, so Berman can enjoy it with ease.
Because of his lofty status in the literary world, Berman was awarded the "Lifetime Aristocrat" by the Queen of England. This title is equivalent to a baron, but it cannot be inherited. It is generally awarded to people with outstanding contributions, so it is honored in the manor and in society He is a jazz.
Lisko did not stay, passing by the luxuriously decorated living room, passing by the library that he wanted to go in and relived, and walked into the kitchen.
"Mary." Lisko looked at Mary, who was quietly making desserts at the door. Mary had always cared for him, probably because Lisko was the same age as her youngest son who died of illness.
"Sco?" Mary put down the flour that was still kneading, untied her apron and handed it to the maid who was aside, and walked quickly to Lisko.
"My Sko, really looks more and more handsome." Mary hugged Li Sko directly, covered Li Sko's face with her floured hand, and kissed her forehead continuously.
"Okay Mary," Lisko stopped her, and stood up straight to match her bent legs. This is a little game between him and Mary. Lisko was always taciturn and not very gregarious when he was in school. Mary wanted to change him. His character, teasing him from time to time, most like watching Lisko's small face flushed red after being teased, with a serious and somewhat aggrieved expression, repeatedly succeeding.
"You have succeeded," Lisko looked at her, with palm prints on her face in white flour.
Mary and Liske looked at each other for a while, and both laughed, as if they were back in the past, Mary stepped forward and hugged him seriously.
"Welcome home, Sco."
Mary also often heard Berman praise Lisko’s young and promising in the study. The new book has deep thoughts. This time she will definitely win Nobel and other remarks. What she cares about has always been Berman’s students. Whether you are doing well, you are not happy, life is not going well, in the eyes of all the brothers, Mary can be regarded as his own mother.
