Reborn Cultural Empire

341. Being Tree-Typical

Yang Yi didn't want to make it public, Ji Tangdan of course understood, and besides the brothers and sisters of the reborn boy, many of the guests who came to the door one after another later met Yang Yi more or less in the old man's house. .

So now seeing him as a little guy running back and forth with great courtesy, he would always say hello. Although they all preached with the attitude of an elder, no one dared to take too much airs.Today is Ji Tangdan's birthday, whoever has nothing to lose his head will make people unhappy at this time.Even those who didn't know Yang Yi were more kind, they simply regarded Yang Yi as the old man's grandson.

The old lady was the chef in the kitchen, Yang Yi's senior sister Zhao Ying, and another senior brother with a fair face and fat face helped, and they quickly brought out two steaming hot noodles.There are many people who know about the weddings of the elderly, but those who are qualified to participate are only a very small part of them.For example, the Yuezhou Writers' Association Federation of Literary and Art Circles also came with a few brains to represent everyone's blessings, and then there were people in the cultural circle who were about the same generation as Ji Tangdan.

Last time, Yang Yi was forcefully dragged out by Wu Junji, and Pu Yuan, whom he met in the teahouse, was naturally also present.If one were to be found among the guests who had the least interest in the reborn man, it would undoubtedly be this person.

You can't blame Yang Yi, and you can't blame Pu Yuan. It can only be said that Wu Junji's ingenious tactics at that time created those people's negative impression of Yang Yi with bad intentions.

But now that Ji Tang Dan is in the lead, Pu Yuan has to regard himself as a junior, so it's hard to say anything.

Liangzhuo Ximian, the dishes are not precious, there is no Kobe beef, Australian abalone, they are just home-cooked dishes.But everyone knows the significance of these two ordinary banquets.

Distinguished visiting professor of the Department of Architecture of Huaqing University, the old lady Zhai Yunfang cooks things by herself, let alone people like them, even if Jiang Jianmo comes, they can't eat whatever they want.The old intellectuals of their generation, who still hold the title of national researcher, are all treasures who have been consecrated by high officials. They don't have any feelings for a secretary of the municipal party committee, even if a senior official from the province comes, At most, they just stood up and stretched out their hands, wanting to let them clean their spoons and dream.

Several disciples of the old man, as well as the guests of inferior status, sat at the same table, and Ji Tangdan's old friends sat at the same table with the old man.Now that they are all on the table, it is natural to take this opportunity to show off the gifts they brought.

This kind of display is different from the banquet held by business officials, which is always full of benefits and showing off.Now there are no collaborators here, and there are no opponents who are fighting openly and secretly. Everyone presenting gifts is just to enliven the atmosphere, and it should be regarded as elegant rather than vulgar.

A few people were more active and noticed that there was always a contented smile on the face of the old man, looking energetic.Whether he was joking with people or listening attentively, his gray eyebrows and eyes were extremely stretched. Even when others offered a toast, he would not refuse to drink until the glass was drained, which provoked the old lady around him to make a fuss, but it didn't work.

This is a very happy expression.

Some people couldn't bear it anymore. At first, there was a match and no match. Let's use the old man's words: "Old Ji, why are you so happy today? Is it because I saw Yunfang came back, and I barely cooked a table for you?"

The old man was in a good mood, and he wasn't angry at his old friend's backlash. He gave a contemptuous "cut" and simply ignored him.

This move of the mouth, however, caused those younger generations to laugh out loud.

"I think Mr. Ji is so happy, or his precious students are back." At another table, Pu Yuan raised his glass and laughed: "Usually my juniors are busy people, not this school lecture, It’s that place where research is done, and it’s rare that they all come back so neatly and see their current results, it’s hard to think about it.”

As the deputy secretary of the party group of the Writers Association, his position is high enough, but in terms of personal knowledge and achievements, he can only bow down to the seniors at the other table, so he sits at Yang Yi's table.However, being able to get mixed up in the position of deputy secretary of the party group in the circle of literati with different temperaments is enough to show the person's skills and abilities.Now these few words are very flattering, and no one will be unhappy if they hear them.

Except for Yang Yi.

Others don't know, but Yang Yi knows everything.This deputy secretary, a great writer, always looked at him vaguely when he said what he just said, and the meaning in his eyes was quite deep.He said that it was the returning students who made the old man so happy, so naturally, the guy who had been by the old man's side all the time naturally had no effect.

It's just that Yang Yi just smiled like this, and he took it with him, he didn't realize that he was under the covert attack at all, and he didn't seem to take it to heart at all.

He didn't mean to be upset at all, even if he wanted to blame, the object of hatred was Wu Junji, not Pu Yuan.And the other people here didn't take Pu Yuan's words to heart, thinking that he was simply enlivening the atmosphere.

When Ji Tangdan heard the words, he raised his glass with a smile. When other people raised their glasses to speak, it would cause a burst of applause. Only today's birthday star can get the quiet treatment of the audience.

"Secretary Pu is right. Today, I saw that the former students have achieved some results, and they have lived up to my expectations all along. As a teacher, I naturally have to make a fool of myself." Ji Tangdan said rather He sighed emotionally, but it was a sigh of satisfaction in his heart. Then he changed the topic and explained to everyone in the banquet: "But why I am so happy today, there is one more important thing, you don't know."

Everyone listened with bated breath, and the old lady, as well as a group of students, more or less guessed what the old man meant.

"Here, do you see it?"

Ji Tangdan pointed to the anthology piled up on the coffee table in the living room, not because he didn't cherish it, but because he loved it too much, so the old man held the book in his hands all morning, and didn't put it down until it was on the table: "I said, I'm afraid how many of you The old guy is jealous, this is my little apprentice, he sorted out the things in my life, made a collection and published it."

As soon as these words came out, the old man's students were fine, and the other guests, who used pens to make a living, showed more or less strange expressions that could not be concealed.Several old men who were of Ji Tangdan's generation, and whose achievements and knowledge were similarly different, even spoke up one after another, asking Ji Tangdan questions in a hurry.

Just go to the Writers Association and ask someone, ask him if he wants to organize his writing painstaking efforts into a collection, and then publish it in print?There is only one answer to this question, and no one can refuse it. That would not be noble, but an idiot.

In addition, Ji Tangdan's works in his life are not too much, but it is quite cumbersome to sort out the context and sort them out.This is a serious academic thing. To be honest, it will only be boring, but one of the old man's disciples has successfully fulfilled his teacher's wish without making a sound.

Some impatient old people couldn't help curling their lips and saying sarcastic remarks: "Oh, no wonder Lao Ji is happy today. It turns out that he has a little shabby writing, and he has finally become a typeface. You have waited all your life. It's today"

Ji Tangdan was in a surprisingly good mood, and now he gently let go of the topic of competing for superiority, "Uh, it's okay, compared to you, Old Wen, then I'm luckier My son. By the way, your collection of historical sites in Yuezhou has been written for seven or eight years. Did you enjoy the book once it came out?"

The old lady Zhai Yunfang saw that her old man was getting more and more out of control, so she quickly kicked him under the table and gave him a blank look, only then managed to stop some of the old man's complacency.As for the old man who started to have pantothenic acid, he has already pouted his mouth now, and turned his head "too lazy to be as knowledgeable as you".

Yang Yi, the people at the table, naturally couldn't get in the way when the masters talked, but this didn't prevent them from expressing their inner thoughts with expressions.

Running on each other next to each other, while Ji Tangdan was booing proudly, the people on the other table stared at Yang Yi very neatly, with various expressions.Some think that a child's family is a quick-witted person who knows how to behave; others, with colored glasses, think that it is not a good thing for a child to be old-fashioned, but they don't tell the truth.

Only Pu Yuan, I don't know what mood he is facing this young man again, his insinuation just now has not been settled, and he countered with powerful facts.Fortunately, others didn't understand what he said just now, otherwise it would be really embarrassing now.

After the meal, although Pu Yuan was not in a trance, he was not in a good mood.He has a secret that has never been told to outsiders - when he had just made some achievements in writing and met Ji Tangdan, he also tried to test the old man, hoping to become a disciple of the old man. , but at that time Ji Tangdan politely rejected him.

Although only the two of them knew about that experience, and he firmly believed that the old man would never disclose the matter to a third person, but now he sees that Yang Yi has such an important position in the old man's heart , It is conceivable that his mood is gloomy and his thoughts are complicated.

But when he thought about it, he felt a little angry, thinking that the old man was old, and his vision was just like this. The last time he was sent out by Wu Jun to comment on Yang Yi's article, this feeling didn't dissipate, and it kept lingering in the In my heart, even more so now.

Not everyone is like Yang Yi's senior brother, who is extremely casual. The fact that literati look down on each other has existed since ancient times, and it doesn't necessarily have to be divided into age and gender.

After a meal, everyone moved to the study room, and after they were packed, they came out to sit for a while, drinking tea and dissertations, which made the usually quiet room a lot more popular.But everyone also knew that the old man was getting older and couldn't be as rambunctious as he was ten or twenty years ago. After drinking tea, he talked casually and left one after another.

As for the evening, it was the time for the old man's family banquet, and there was no room for outsiders to intervene.

"Come on, come here and let me have a look. Today, you little guy, you made this dead old man look so good." After Zhai Yunfang finished tidying up in the kitchen, the first thing she did when she sat down was to call Yang Yi over, like It was the same as treating his own children and grandchildren, kindly but passionately pressed beside her.

"Well, he's a smart little guy." The old lady looked her up and down, and nodded with satisfaction: "He's smart and polite, no wonder this old man talks about you every day."

Zhai Yunfang's compliments made Yang Yi feel embarrassed. He was always calm and relaxed wherever he went. Even when he met Jiang Jianmo for the first time, he didn't have any stage fright. Surprisingly, there was a bit of twitching around him.

"I like the old brochure you sent me last time." The old lady is also full of poetry and books, but compared with people of her age—a well-educated woman—horizontally, she is a little less gentle and elegant, and more A little free and easy, but also heart-warming.

"And the old town of Xizhi in your old town, the gifts are also good." The old lady squinted her eyes and smiled. No matter how she looked at Yang Yi, how did she feel that the child liked her: "It's your hometown. I heard that now The tourism development plan is also written by you little guy?"

Yang Yi heard a bit of taste. My teacher's wife is a specially-appointed visiting professor of the Department of Architecture of Huaqing University. Now that she has taken the initiative to mention the maintenance and development of Xizhi, it can't be just a joke. meaningful.

"Yes, but many places are taken for granted, so we also hired teachers from Yueda and Gome to guide us in the past."

"It's even bigger. Those people in their architecture department can't use Gome. It's right to hire them for gardening. When it comes to old buildings, they are also laymen."

Yang Yi almost sprayed, and finally endured it.The old lady was not in such a heroic posture in front of people just now, but quite traditional.But as soon as outsiders left, she no longer concealed anything.

"Well, I'll go back and call the secretary of our school's Department of Architecture, and ask him to send two teachers and a team of graduate students. It's definitely more important than anything else. Speaking of the study of traditional architecture, it's not Huaqing. Genus, this is not my bragging. They don’t need you to pay when they come, they just need to put a little effort into it.”

My wife has already spoken like this, so Yang Yi can have any different opinions?

Of course, nodding first.

Seeing that Yang Yiyi had great trust in herself, she agreed without asking anything, with an attitude of "Your old man can figure it out", and she was also happy. Su Rong, his disciple: "Now that you have a junior brother, you have to take care of everything in the future, and you can't let outsiders bully you. We are all a family, so we have to help ourselves first."

Well, it's even more blatant than what Ji Tangdan said.

Just when a group of senior brothers and sisters nodded their heads in a hurry, there was a knock on the door suddenly.
