Chapter 46 The Fan Circle Was Myself

"

tell you, world,

I do not believe!

Even if there are a thousand challengers under your feet,

Then count me as number one thousand and one.

...

"

boom--

Bernard Shaw closed the window and looked at Lu Shi helplessly,

"Oh, again. Let these students make trouble, and I will recite your "Answer" by heart."

Lu Shi couldn't help but look embarrassed.

I don't know what the students think, and they keep spreading "Answer".

Bernard Shaw couldn't help complaining: "Others who read it must think that your poem is a propaganda platform of a certain political party."

Lu Shi hurriedly waved his hands,

"Political parties? No! Never!"

Bernard Shaw laughed loudly, then looked out the window again,

"Our school is pretty good. Don't you know that at University College London and King's College, students spontaneously set up clubs to study this song "Answer", and they can't get out of those teachers who scolded you in the newspapers."

Of course Lu Shi knew,

His roommate Natsume Soseki is a student at University College London,

The original words of Natsume Soseki are: "There is even a tendency to develop into a student movement."

Lu Shi scratched his head,

"I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it..."

The fan circle is actually myself.

Not long ago, he and Natsume Soseki complained about Sherlock Holmes fan circle,

As a result, in just a few days, it actually happened to me.

Bernard Shaw didn't want to say anything more about this matter,

Although the students were a little naive and impulsive, their actions did play a role, at least curbing the scolding war in Northwest Europe,

All writers cherish their feathers, and they dare not oppose students when they are against anyone.

This is the reason why those who wear shoes are afraid of bare feet.

Bernard Shaw asked: "By the way, have you thought about the publisher? I think you should make plans early. Unlike "And There Were None", the Royal Publishing Bureau should not participate in the competition."

He was talking about Guns, Germs, and Steel.

Because the serialization in the "Manchester Guardian" has come to an end, the publication matter is logically put on the agenda.

Lu Shi bowed his head in thought, and quickly figured out why the Royal Publishing Bureau did not participate.

The Royal Publishing Bureau has the background of the British government, and publications will inevitably be labeled as "official". Therefore, when non-governmental publications involve politics, history, etc., they will become cautious and avoid being regarded as a certain statement.

On the contrary, "There Are No Survival", because it is a novel, the restrictions are smaller.

George Bernard Shaw said: "The few questions you raised are very profound."

In the last article of "Guns, Bacteria and Steel", "The Future of Modern Historiography", Lu Shi listed three problems:

1. Differences between different regions of the Eurasian continent;

2. The role of cultural factors;

3. The role of historical figures and events.

As a topic, these three questions are enough for historical researchers to spend a lot of time.

Moreover, even if it develops into modern times, it is impossible to give a complete answer to these three questions, so some people in later generations commented on Lu Shi as "feeding a group of historians".

Lu Shi said modestly: "It's purely because I can't figure it out myself, so I brought it up and worked together."

Bernard Shaw expressed disbelief,

"You must have an answer yourself, but you just don't want to..."

Just halfway through the conversation, there was a sudden commotion outside.

Surprised, Lu Shi walked over to open the window.

The quarrel spread into the house,

"Professor Lu..."

"Why don't you let me see Professor Lu!?"

"We want to see Professor Lu!"

...

Lu Shi subconsciously stuck his head out of the window and found that the quarrel came from the school gate.

There were more than a dozen girls' school students blocking the door, raising their hands and waving the "Manchester Guardian", their faces were full of fanaticism, and their skin even slightly flushed because of excitement.

Bernard Shaw asked, "What's the matter?"

With that said, he also leaned over.

After seeing the situation outside, he couldn't help showing an intriguing expression,

"Whoever causes trouble will solve it."

Lu Shi's head was full of black lines,

Seeing the fanatical energy of the group of female students outside, if I go out, I will be eaten alive,

Maybe, tomorrow I will have to be the father of several children.

But George Bernard Shaw didn't seem to realize it, and continued to say sarcastic remarks: "Actually, you and Oscar Wilde are quite alike. At that time, his plays were very popular in London, and also attracted the admiration of countless ladies and young ladies. The only difference between you, It's just that you are not as handsome as him."

grass!

Lu Shi wanted to scold someone.

But I have to admit that although Bernard Shaw was joking, he was also sincerely admiring.

Oscar Wilde is buried in Pere Lachaise Cemetery,

This cemetery is located in Paris, France. Every year, hundreds of thousands of visitors pay homage to the greatest artists and writers in the world, including Chopin, Molière, Balzac...

And Wilde is the weirdest of them all.

When those who worship him come to his tomb, they will inevitably perform a "ceremony"——

Kiss the tombstone.

Although the staff regularly cleans the tombstones, after each wash, new lip prints will soon cover the entire tombstone.

In the end, the management of the cemetery had no choice but to put up a transparent cover around the tombstone to prohibit tourists from kissing Wilde's tomb.

As a result, the glass cover was kissed full of lip prints.

This incident shows how much Oscar Wilde is admired.

Lu Shi coughed lightly,

"I'm still different from Mr. Wilde."

Bernard Shaw asked, "How is it different?"

Lu Shi said: "Those who like her are noble ladies, and those who like me are progressive young women. You see, those female students, although they didn't go to college, are no worse than college students at all."

Bernard Shaw couldn't help but rolled his eyes, waved his hands and said, "You're quite proud? That's all right, let's stop talking about it, go out and appease those girls, don't let them make trouble again, so as not to affect the teaching. "

The most difficult thing to deal with the student issue is that you cannot rely on the police, otherwise it will hinder public opinion.

Lu Shi reluctantly responded, pushed the door open and left.

He moved carefully against the base of the wall, and moved near the school gate.

The voices of the girls came,

"This "Answer" is so well written, it makes my heart warm. I just don't know if Professor Lu can write love poems."

"Love poems? Heh heh heh... Are you yearning for spring? But it's obviously winter now!"

"If Professor Lu can take a fancy to me, I won't hesitate."

"Then I will fight with you!"

"You can't compete with me!"

...

Lu Shi's brows twitched, and he said that Europeans are indeed open.

Judging by the situation, he must not show up.

He walked back quietly.

At this moment, a light female voice came from behind: "Professor Lu?"

Lu Shi followed the reputation,

"Miss Margarita?"

Margarita pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Professor Lu, what's wrong with you? It's not a gentleman's style to be sneaky~"

As she spoke, she winked cutely,

"Could it be... Could it be that you are hiding from those girls?"

For some reason, the princess had a sour taste when she spoke.

Lu Shi spread his hands and said, "Those girls don't necessarily like my poems very much. They probably have a mentality of following the trend, just because "Answer" has become popular among the student groups, so they come here to chase stars."

Margarita was surprised: "Chasing stars? I've never heard of this word, but it's very expressive."

Lu Shi shook his head in annoyance, and asked, "By the way, you know about this... Do you know how "Answer" became popular?"

Margarita smiled,

"If you write well, you will naturally become popular."

Lu Shi was speechless,

"this……"

The smile on Margarita's face became stronger, and she said: "Okay, okay, let me tell you what I know. It seems that a classmate named Solomon mobilized his classmates because he couldn't understand those old scholars targeting you. Action was taken."

"Solomon..."

Lu Shi silently memorized the name.

He nodded his thanks to Margarita and walked briskly toward the office building.

Watching his back, Margarita sighed deeply,

She wanted to go to the library, but for some reason, after exchanging a few words with Lu Shi, she lost all interest in studying.
