The journey starts from the Titanic

Take this marriage testimony as an example. Liang Qichao was very disappointed with him. What made him even more disappointed was that a group of people like Hu Shi followed behind and cheered, none of them stood by Wang Geng's side!

This is also the reason why Wang Geng is alienated from Liang Qichao and his gang of children!

Taking a boat from Tianjin Port to Shanghai, Liang Qichao thought about these things in his heart and was upset. The only thing that made him relieved was that his son and daughter-in-law did not get entangled with Hu Shi and Xu Zhimo. They were still real people. , To contribute to the construction industry, and I don’t have time to take care of these things.

Xu Zhimo flew back to Shanghai on a plane and was anxious to prepare for the wedding, leaving Hu Shi to accompany Liang Qichao on the boat.

"Why is Duke Liang so upset? Is it still upset about that?" Hu Shi asked.

"Forget it, let him go!" Liang Qichao waved his hand, not wanting to say more.

I asked Hu Shi about the situation of the Wuhan Zhigong Party, and Hu Shi answered one by one. After all, he still received a civil servant salary from the Wuhan government, but during this time he asked for more leave for Xu Zhimo's affairs!

A lot of business has fallen behind in diplomatic education.

Liang Qichao is very interested in the implementation of four-year compulsory education in primary schools by the Wuhan government. Hu Shi has done a lot of work in this area. He also personally wrote primary school Chinese courses and actively promoted Putonghua and simplified characters.

"It seems that you have done a lot of practical things in the past few years. Although I don't agree with simplified characters, I have to admit that it reduces the difficulty of character recognition, helps reduce illiteracy, and improves the national cultural level.

Four years of compulsory education and free elementary education. No such event has ever been done in the past, okay!"

Liang Qichao praised his palm.

Hu Shi nodded.

Objectively speaking, literati and celebrities like Hu Shi are more retreats. They are very different from the general bureaucrats or civil servants in the Ministry of Education of the Wuhan government. Hu Shi, the Deputy Minister of Education, is not too clear about these specific data, and he is not too concerned about the language reform and university education.

Occasionally, he has time to work as a part-time diplomat, bragging with foreigners, discussing philosophy, investment promotion, and economic and trade cooperation. These things are not his pleasure.

He is considered a relatively free person.

When he arrived in Shanghai, Liang Qichao lived in the homes of Liang Sicheng and Lin Huiyin.

Liang Sicheng’s house is located in Jiangwan, close to the Shanghai New Municipal Government, with convenient transportation. There are commercial, cultural and entertainment facilities such as a library, racecourse, theater, etc. nearby. After the municipal government moved to Yangshupu Jiangwan, it quickly prospered and became a business The first choice for home buyers.

On the fifth floor, coming out of the elevator, the newly renovated bungalows are complete with appliances. The three-bedroom, two-living, 15-square-foot house made Liang Qichao very satisfied. He opened the glass windows to overlook the Huangpu River outside.

This is the Jiangjing mansion mentioned in the advertisement!

"Houses are hardly costly, and the architectural office subsidizes part of it. Huiyin and I saved a portion of the money and borrowed a loan from the bank to buy the house.

Add up to spend less than yuan!"

Liang Sicheng proudly told his father Liang Qichao that he didn't need to buy a house with a penny at home and was self-reliant, which gave him a sense of accomplishment.

"so cheap?"

Liang Qichao was a little surprised, thinking that such a magnificent bungalow has an elevator. There is not one in Beijing and there are not many in Tianjin. How can it be estimated that there are tens of thousands of oceans?

Tens of thousands of oceans are not much for Liang Qichao. He lives in Beijing Hutong on weekdays. It is the first time to live in a high-rise building, which naturally feels fresh.

"It does cost 30,000 to 40,000 yuan to sell outside, but our architectural firm has a cooperation with the developer. Many communities in the Jiangwan area are designed by our architectural firm. This building is equivalent to the fund-raising house of our architectural firm. , Much cheaper than outside."

Liang Sicheng explained with a smile.

"Good!" Liang Qichao glanced at the living room with white tile walls and red floor tiles, nodded in satisfaction, and sat down on the soft sofa, unexplainably comfortable.

Liang Sicheng opened the refrigerator and asked his father if he wanted juice?In the refrigerator, except for juice, it is Coke

Liang Qichao shook his head, and Liang Sicheng immediately went to make tea.

In less than two minutes, the ceramic electric kettle on the coffee table boiled the water, and the scent of tea rose. Liang Sicheng smiled and poured tea for his father, and said with a smile: "It is said that it is the Dahongpao in Fujian. I sent a lot, I don’t drink it often, but Huiyin likes it. The young people in the unit prefer coffee, and Sumatra coffee is almost free."

The father and son sat for a while, the car downstairs rang, and the didi beeps twice. Liang Sicheng took a look at it. A black car stopped downstairs, and an urban beauty got out of the car.

"Huiyin is back, I will go down and get things." Liang Sicheng smiled, just in time to see Lin Huiyin beckoning upstairs, and quickly walked down.

Lin Huiyin bought a large basket of seafood and a lot of daily necessities.

"Sicheng, come and debug the gas pipes." Lin Huiyin's voice came from the kitchen. This community may be the most modern in China. In addition to all kinds of modern appliances, even the gas pipes are installed, unlike ordinary working-class people. Coal is still to be burned in the tube building.

Liang Qichao looked at the young couple curiously, thinking: Those who have lived abroad are different, and their son's life style is indeed different from that of an old-school family.

Lin Huiyin was a little embarrassed. He said that he had just moved in and used the kitchen for the first time. On weekdays, the couple still lived in the family dormitory rented by the office in the concession.

The architecture office recently moved to Jiangwan, close to the Shanghai New Municipal Government, and most of the employees also moved into the community here.

"Seeing that you two live so steadily, I can rest assured!"

Jia'erjia, Liang Qichao is very satisfied, smile has never stopped, some look forward to saying, "I am also happy for your progress in your career. I will go to Wuhan in a few days to see the Yangtze River Bridge you built!"

The great changes in Shanghai made Liang Qichao amazed. After visiting the architectural office and meeting with Mao Yisheng, under the recommendation and escort of Liang Sicheng, he visited Baoshan Xingang Industrial Zone and the new municipal district covered by the Greater Shanghai Construction Plan.

I almost forgot about Xu Zhimo, and Liang Qichao didn't remember it until Hu Shi came to him.

It's just that Hu Shi's mood wasn't too high this time, so he sat down and sighed.

Liang Qichao was puzzled, so he asked, Hu Shi laughed at himself and said that he had been dismissed!

The government's position is gone, and the university position is still there, so you can concentrate on teaching and educating people in the future.

"Is it because of Wang Geng?" Liang Qichao frowned and guessed.

"Probably! He is now in Wuhan and has been the principal of the Central Military Academy. He has always been valued there." Hu Shi said, as things happened suddenly, he was not mentally prepared, so he was dismissed like this, his face was a bit ugly.

"Isn't he using power for personal gain? It's a bit too much!" Liang Qichao criticized.

Hu Shi waved his hand. Seeing Liang Qichao's solemnity, he smiled and said: "It shouldn't matter to Wang Geng. He is not such a person. Even Xu Zhimo didn't retaliate, so don't talk about me."

"Well. It makes sense, he is indeed a gentleman." Liang Qichao nodded.

"Maybe he doesn't even know about this. I guess the people over there are not pleasing to my eyes. I live in Shanghai more in recent years, and I am busy with my own affairs. I may be a little bit lazy about the work of the Ministry of Education."

Hu Shi said with shame.

It is not easy for him to make him blindly obsessed, pursuing political achievements, and visiting rural elementary schools. It is not easy for him to do it. He is still suitable to be a pen and teach in college.

This is also why he and Xu Zhimo got so close, estranged from Wang Geng, because Wang Geng is a hard worker.

Seeing Hu Shi was not too disappointed. He was paid several hundred yuan a month in college. Don't live too easily. Liang Qichao couldn't say anything.Political matters are difficult to clarify, maybe there are other reasons in it?

Fortunately, Sicheng and Huiyin are far away from politics and troubles. They are just too busy!

Rarely spent a few days with Liang Qichao, Liang Sicheng and his wife were sent to Nanjing by the firm to go busy for the second Yangtze River Bridge, and they did not bother to attend the wedding of Xu Zhimo and Lu Xiaoman.

The wedding was very lively, and the location was also in Jiangwan, not far from Liang Sicheng's residential area. Xu Zhimo rented a new villa, which was more luxurious than Liang Sicheng's house.

The poets of the Crescent School have all come, and they are all friends from the cultural circles, including Xu Zhimo’s university colleagues, and the two brothers of the Zhang family, the second child Zhang Junmai and the old nine Zhang Yujiu.
