Chapter 253 Far and Near
Gu Weijun, the diplomatic director of the Dongcheng Tieshizi Hutong in Peking, has a three-entry courtyard. The house is a hard mountain and tiled ridge topped by clear water, surrounded by corridors, and the northwest is a garden.
This place was originally the Chenggong Mansion of the Qing Dynasty, but now it has become the residence of important members of the Beiyang government.
In this era, Iron Shizi Hutong was very famous and was the center of China's political rights, similar to the White House in the United States.
In the new policy of the late Qing Dynasty, the Liangong Mansion in Tieshizi Hutong was changed to the Navy and Army Department of the Qing government. The Xinhai Revolution was successful, and Yuan Shikai was sworn in as President of the Republic of China here, and now he has become the seat of Duan Qirui's government.
This is the first time Iron Lion Hutong.
Lin Zixuan and the third lady of the Song family came here. Song Ailing and Kong Xiangxi, who were in Tianjin, had already arrived, and Song Ziwen, who came from Guangzhou, and the Song family's brother and sister gathered together.
Song Ziwen originally didn't want to notify her sister that Shanghai had just suffered a war and was not safe, but she didn't expect her sister to come anyway.
He nodded to Lin Zixuan, saying that the relationship between Lin Zixuan and the Song family does not need to be expressed in his heart, and everything is kept in mind.
This moment is particularly important to the Song family.
Song Ziwen is already the president of the Central Bank of the Guangzhou Government and holds financial power. With the relationship between Song Qingling, the Song family has a special position in the Guangzhou National Government.
Sun Zhongshan's illness is related to the future prospects of the Song family.
Lin Zixuan and Song Ziwen talked about Sun Zhongshan's illness and the situation in Peking, but did not ask Song Ziwen to arrange a residence.
He went to the Beijing Hotel to book a room and stayed in with the bodyguard.
These days, news of Sun Zhongshan's critical illness has been heard. There are many people visiting Sun Zhongshan every day. The Song brothers and sisters are particularly busy, and Lin Zixuan is unwilling to disturb them.
Moreover, he had a personal relationship with the Song family, and this trip was a helping between friends, so he did not want to get close to this political group.
If he lived in Iron Lion Hutong, it would make people misunderstand his position.
Lin Zixuan has always avoided being involved in politics. Although he is inevitably involved in some political activities in this era, he wants to maintain a non-partisan state.
He did not go to Xu Zhimo. From Xu Zhimo's letter, Lin Zixuan knew that the talented man knew Lu Xiaoman.
Xu Zhimo's emotional life has always been very rich. He will not let himself be lonely, just like a young master like Jia Baoyu.
Lin Zixuan was worried about the embarrassment after the meeting, and the sudden arrival this time did not inform his friends in Peking.
Moreover, Sun Zhongshan may not be able to hold on for long. He is not in the mood to make friends and meet guests, and just wants to stay quietly for a few days and give this old man a ride.
The Beijing Hotel was founded in 1900 and was founded by the French. It is the leading high-end hotel in Peking.
After a good day off, Lin Zixuan planned to check out his investment in Peking.
He was quite troubled about his cooperation with Hechengshe.
I am indeed very talented in running newspapers in Chengshe, but I have a little stubborn temper.
This man's newspaper specifically scolded the Beiyang government. When Cao Kun was in power, he called Cao Kun a bribe for the president and replaced Duan Qirui from the Anhui clan. He began to scold Duan Qirui again.
This has led to frequent investigations by newspapers, which is a big problem.
If it is in the concession in Shanghai, it will be fine no matter how you scold the warlord government, but if you scold the Beiyang warlords under the noses, isn’t this a cause for your own fault?
Lin Zixuan has no good impression of the Beiyang government and thinks he should scold him, but he should pay attention to the methods and methods. This kind of scolding is not a long-term solution, and it will also be threatened by personal safety.
In February 1925, Chengshe founded the World Journal after the World Evening News.
The newspaper has four pages, publishing various topics such as news editorials, economic education, etc., and has also launched a "weekly" edition. It publishes science, women, Chinese studies, politics and law, literature and art, children and other contents each day.
He has a place in the newspaper industry in Peking and has made a lot of money.
Even so, I still don’t want to rent a house outside, but instead squeezed into my own home to work.
Lin Zixuan discussed this issue with him that if you want to make the newspaper bigger and stronger, you should not be too frugal. Large enterprises are not frugal, but must constantly innovate and make profits.
Chengshe I said that Lin Zixuan is too luxurious and the stall is too big, so there will be problems sooner or later.
He sells magazines from Vientiane Bookstore in Peking. There are more than a dozen magazines under Vientiane Bookstore, and they are available in all types.
These are two different business concepts, which are also related to their backgrounds.
Lin Zixuan's family has a big business and is not afraid of temporary losses. He can supplement it from the film company. If I lose money, I will close the door and go bankrupt, so I will be careful in operating it.
At No. 35, Handbag Hutong, Lin Zixuan, Cheng She, Zhang Henshui and others met.
In the evening, he invited everyone to have a meal in the restaurant. He is the major shareholder of the newspaper and the boss.
In the cultural circle of Peking, there is no airtight wall. As soon as he appeared, he was noticed and spread it.
The next day, Xu Zhimo and others found the Beijing Hotel.
Although Lin Zixuan explained the reason, he still couldn't help but feel kindness. He had a party with them once. These people were members of the Crescent Society and the Modern Commentary School.
"Modern Review" was founded in December 1924 and was published by Vientiane Bookstore.
Lin Zixuan briefly read their manuscripts and had various opinions, which were all kinds of, mainly talking about Western systems and culture, advocating liberalism, and some of the meaning of being a big talk.
Chatting with these people is not boring. Everyone talks about poetry and literature casually, without being restricted, casual and free.
At this party, there was also a talented girl from Yenching University, Ling Shuhua.
She was good at painting, so she suggested painting a portrait of Lin Zixuan.
Lin Zixuan was quite surprised, but since it was someone else's kindness, he was not inconvenient to refuse. Perhaps it was because she wanted to show her painting skills and always had to give people the opportunity to show off.
It was just a simple half-body portrait, and it was completed in about half an hour.
Lin Zixuan took it and looked at it. He didn't know how to draw, but he also thought he was good at painting. At least the portrait was very handsome.
"Mr. Lin, I will draw a portrait for you. You should give me something back. I don't want anything else. Just write a poem for me." Ling Shuhua said sly.
She knew that when Lin Zixuan was in the UK, he once gave Lin Huiyin a poem, which became the signature of the Crescent Society.
After reading it, she also felt it was beautiful, and she couldn't help but envy Lin Huiyin. When she met Lin Zixuan today, she thought she would also want a poem and she would never lose to Lin Huiyin.
But it is too boring to ask for poetry rashly, and if rejected, it will become a laughing stock.
And using paintings to exchange poetry is an elegant and interesting thing. Even if you are rejected, it can only be said that Lin Zixuan has no grace. She believes that under such circumstances, no man will refuse.
Indeed, if Lin Zixuan refuses, he will lose his reputation as a poet and a talented man.
The literati here all started to make excuses, wanting to see what poems Lin Zixuan could write for this talented woman from Yenching University.
Lin Zixuan didn't know that he was caught in a battle between two women, but he just thought we were so familiar with each other?
He thought about it and thought of a hazy poem from later generations called "Far and Near".
