Lisco's American Life
Chapter 67 Swan Castle
Lisko got up early to get ready and dressed neatly in a formal suit. His tutor, Burman, was an old-fashioned British man who got up very early every day as he got older.
Berman is still working part-time as an academician in the Department of Literature at Yale University, and from time to time he goes over to give lectures to freshmen. He has a high status in the United States, and the students he has brought out stand in various literary positions in the United States, such as well-known newspapers and publishing houses.
, and the president of the American Literary Association. It can be said that the power of Lisko's department is the highest in the American literary world.
Lisko called a hotel car and rushed outside New York City, where Berman bought a manor and settled with his wife Mary.
This time we stayed at the Hilton. Speaking of Hilton, the most famous are the two sisters. Their self-promotion method also indirectly increased the reputation of the family hotel. This approach is exactly the same as that of Wang Moumou, the later richest man in Rabbit Country.
The Dai Shan sisters and the Olsen sisters in the film and television industry are also masters of this.
The car soon arrived at the manor, which was built after the Adair Manor in Ireland and was called "Swan Castle" by Berman's wife Mary.
This manor has a good reputation in the American literary world. All Lisko's seniors spent their entire study time here before starting school. They will not move out until they find a job or have better development. Currently, all well-known estates in the United States
70% of writers have attended gatherings here, so among many groups of writers who have not yet prospered, this place can really be called a literary holy place.
Lisko looked at the undulating castle in front of him and the several well-proportioned gardens, and was filled with emotion. In his memory, he lived here for three years during his studies, and his tutor Bomaner would not treat his students very well.
No matter how he views his family, he treats each other equally, no matter he is poor or rich. Every day, many senior brothers have breakfast here and go to the huge library collected by the tutor to read books and discuss literature. In the evening, there is a poetry salon and everyone is together.
Drink freely. At this time, the instructor will hold the wine glass and watch them being wanton and wanton, while the master's wife, Mary, will bring them the sweet cookies she has just made and clean up the wine glasses that they have knocked over.
"It's so beautiful."
Liscomele squinted his eyes, straightened his clothes, and walked into the manor.
"Hey, Kenny." Kenny, the black man, is a painter at Swan Castle, and his ancestors also did this.
"Master Sco?" Kenny put down the scissors in his hand in surprise and came up to hug Li Sco. After living here for three years, Li Sco was very familiar with everyone here.
There is no obvious hierarchy in the mentor's manor. Even painters, chefs, housekeepers, and doormen can greet each other casually. This is also the humanities and ideas that Berman has always advocated.
"Did this boy Jieben go out to play? Why didn't you notify us in advance?" Kenny complained first, and then pulled Lisko towards the manor.
Jieben is the guard of the castle. Actually, he is a guard, and it is just an arbitrary position. Because the New York Police Department built a guard booth a hundred meters outside the manor, and a police officer is stationed in it all year round, so is there anything here?
The guards all look the same.
"Hey, Bol, look who's here?" Kenny walked into the castle hall and shouted towards the old man with a white beard wearing a traditional robe.
"Hey, Master Sco," Bol stepped forward for a hug.
Bol is the steward of the castle, and is mainly responsible for arranging the work and purchasing of all the castle staff.
"You haven't been here for a long time. Mrs. Mary always talks about you." Boer looked at the upright Lisko with emotion. He remembered that Lisko was a very silent child when he was studying. He was not very tall, and now he is slow.
He is so handsome and extraordinary slowly.
"I came to see you when I passed by New York this time." Lisko knew he was wrong and quickly changed the subject.
"By the way, where is the mentor? I didn't tell you in advance this time. I came directly after seeing the company."
"Sir has gone to school. He has a speech today, but it's almost time to come back. Madam is making desserts in the kitchen." Boll said truthfully according to Berman's schedule.
Lisko looked around and saw that everything was the same as when he left. It was as if he had just left yesterday and came back the next day.
Lisko said goodbye to Bol and agreed to stay here today. Bol excitedly went to clean up Lisko's old house.
Lisko is the youngest disciple of Berman, so he has always been favored. Both his mentor and all his brothers and sisters are extremely caring towards him. Since Lisko became a disciple, this huge castle has become quiet. Instructor Berman's year
Things are getting advanced and I don’t want to work too hard, so I no longer accept disciples. My daily task is to give lectures from time to time. This is because all the senior brothers are worried that the instructor who will be idle all of a sudden will feel bored, so they forcefully set it up. Every speech
There is a special car to pick you up and drop off, so Berman can enjoy it contentedly.
Because of his lofty status in the literary world, Berman was awarded the title "Lifetime Noble" by the Queen of England. This title is equivalent to a baronet, but it is not inheritable. It is generally awarded to people who have made outstanding contributions, so he is honored in the manor and in society.
He is a knight.
Lisko didn't stop. He passed by the luxuriously decorated living room, passed by the library where he wanted to go in and review it, and walked into the kitchen.
"Mary." Lisko looked at Mary who was quietly making desserts at the door. Mary had always had unusual care for him, probably because Lisko was the same age as her youngest son who died of illness.
"Sco?" Mary put down the flour she was still kneading, took off her apron and handed it to the maid aside, then walked quickly to Lisko.
"My Sco, he is really getting more and more handsome." Mary hugged Li Sco directly, covered Li Sco's face with her flour-stained hands, and kissed his forehead continuously.
"Okay Mary," Lisko stopped her and stood up straight to match her bent legs. This was a little game between him and Mary. Lisko was always reticent and not very gregarious when he was a student. Mary wanted to change him
He often teases him due to his character, and he likes to see Lisko's red face after being teased, with a serious and aggrieved expression, and he succeeds many times.
"You have succeeded," Lisko looked at her, with white palm prints of flour on his face.
Mary and Lisko looked at each other for a while, and both smiled, as if they were back to the past. Mary stepped forward and hugged him seriously.
"Welcome home, Sco."
Mary also often heard Berman praising Lisko in the study, saying that he was young and promising, that his new book had profound thoughts, and that he would definitely win the Nobel Prize this time. What she cared about was the achievements of Berman's students.
Whether he is doing well, whether he is happy or not, whether his life is smooth or not, in the eyes of all the senior brothers, Mary can be regarded as their mother.
